Part 66: Backtrack

I am lost.

I am totally lost. I cannot do anything in this area.




Nothing I have does anything.




This is interesting, honestly.
This is clearly a new area. And excitingly enough, there is a new tile! A NEW TILE!



No keys work on this goddamn door! Or at least no keys that are in the party's possession.
Bah!


It's been a while since we saw enemies such as these!
They provide no challenge.

If all the party was level 1 again, they still would be easy pickings, I guess.


STERV does short work of them.

: "That does not smell half bad!"
: "But how does it taste!?"
: "It disturbs me to agree with STERV. That could smell far worse."




What else to do? Check if there is anything new.



We already went there. Mau-mu-mu is no more.






This button does not work anymore. That is worrysome.




And this door does not open.


We have not been there, I think.





Or there!




Does not open, either. Hm. I wonder if they will open with another key in the future...


We HAVE been there-



Gross.



This one is locked though! But there is nothing new.







There was another entrance.



This leads down. But there is no instant drop.





Have not been able to open these either.


This was probably a place used by Xorphitus.

Or Mystaphaphas.




Cannot open this.






It would be a decent shortcut.
Nothing special.


We have been here.


And the door mocks.


It mocks.


Eh, what's the harm? We have opened shit before with nonkeys. The dang idol, the eyes. Why not?


...
What.
WHAT.

THAT ACTUALLY WORKED.
AND I WASTED AROUND TWO HOURS RE-EXPLORING.



What? a CAT?





Oh look! An adorable kitty!
