Part 52: A Bad Idea
This was a terrible idea!: "I feel... Suddenly larcenous. Like if my fingers were meant to open chests. "
: "All this armor, so cumbersome. Why did I ever wear it? It is much better this way."
TINYSAN, as a thief, can still use the shortbow with the arrows he was shooting all along. The longbow will have to be used by someone else.
He cannot change to anything else thoug.
: "All this nobility weighs down on my head. I need to be... More subtle. SNAKE! Be a good man and teach me your ways!"
: "My ways?!"
: "Yes, give them to me. Oh whatever, I will pick them up while I go along."
MONMOON cannot wear ANYTHING.
: "I already know how to make explosive concoctions. Now I need to learn how to make things EXPLODE WITH MY MIND. "
: "One would also like to learn such things!"
: "And suddenly, my choice seems less justified."
STERV also can't use shit.
: "Staying in the shadows is all well and good, but facing battle head on may also have its advantages. Hmm."
: "I AM COMPELLED. THE BOW. IT IS A NOBLE WEAPON. "
This is not a good loadout! Let us do some reorganization.
Slightly better!
Seems like a good set.
That'll do.
This is very bad though. But let's have the cat use the Crystal Wand that DETPOPE was carrying.
This is good, isn't it?
: "One's outfit is drafty."
TINYSAN has a fairly decent set, seems.
SNAKE gets lordly hand me downs, but his stats SUCK now.
And STERV end up having a robe top too.
And this was a terrible idea.
All the characters have all their spells and all their magic points.
But they cannot do shit. They can only cast at level 1 and it is EXCRUCIATINGLY LOW DAMAGE unless they already had some points in whatever weapon they are using.
This encounter took a long while! It was fun though.
That seems like a bad thing to do with a crystal wand.
Eventually they all die. But look at that stamina!
The levelups... well, they could be worse, I guess.
And again!
Damnit, SO BAD.
And a new type of slime!
That was better, I guess!
Unfortunately, the next few attempts to get levels for STERV and TINKLEE were pretty damn bad.
: "One casts magic missile at the darkness!"
: "THAT IS NOT THE DARKNESS. THAT IS A WOMAN."
It is not a very effective spell, I must say.
Already have one, and the thing is fairly good, it seems.
Kirijutsu is all-important.
Hopefully, Charm will prove to be useful.
Spellcastin'.
And then I try to savescum to be getting at least decent levelups, but to no avail.
Several times, and never really much better than this.
STAMINA is a good spell! It cuts down on the resting for a while! And MONMOON can cast it all day long.
Sleep is as always, VERY useful.
See? Bad.
Agh.
Ok, screw this. Will try more savescumming later.
Map theme also changed.
