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.
