Dungeon 16 Turn 7
————
Kamau and Ix head to the left and engage the enemies there. As Kamau advances on the peas, the onion up above releases a near-invisible mysterious beam of some kind, but Kamau’s sword swing is powerful enough to disperse it before it can hurt him. He cleaves through the entire pod of peas, with Ix and Toaster helping to make sure all of them stay down. Two daggers are left behind.
With the carrot taken care of, Ricki and Botanya return to the now-cleared room with the cage. Ricki unlocks the cage (fumbling her thieves’ tools over the edge of the cloud in the process), and Botanya examines the flytrap.
“He doesn’t look so good.”
“no”
“he’s been uprooted and replanted poorly”
“these flytraps are special variants that are supposed to guard one place”
“which they did”
“they should have been allowed to live quietly where they grew”
“that’s a happy life for a plant”
“but this one says all three of them got pulled up and brought up here by the corn knights”
“Is there anything you can do for him?”
“just one thing”
“i can make him bloom”
“he won’t live long”
“but he wasn’t going to anyway”
“and this way he’ll be able to help us”
“which is what he wants to do”
“he’s family after all”
“…”
“Ricki i think the corn knights need to go”
“Okay. We’ll get ’em.”
Botanya has become Fired Up. Ricki takes the giant pink flower the flytrap bloomed into.

FLOWER PARACHUTE
Tool
While carried, all fall damage is halved. Prevents death for the wielder and wielder’s pet when falling out of the sky dungeon. Wilts at the end of the dungeon.
Weight 1, Cost –
Key detail to take away here is that there are only 3 Parachutes available (if we find the other two).
That would mean someone gets left behind if we stay past T50.
Lets focus on main objective (or at least finding all Corn Knights) so we know how much time we have.
“That would mean someone gets left behind if we stay pass T50.”
Solution: have Kamau remorse out on turn 49. The rest can continue doing stuff and parachute out later
Joking of course but if we had brought Mac having him bail out early would have been a reasonable option.
Plan: bait the onion.
Onion needs to melee to grab, so we bait it down with an adorable ricki.
Ricki: move left and left again. Get lifted up on platform beside onion and stab it when it gets close.
Ix: help ricki up and stab the onion in melee if it gets close
Botania: move left and pick up lock picks. Drop 2 bolts to make room.
Kamau: scout up ladder.
Ix can one shot the onion even if ricki misses her attack. We can’t get botania into this room and use rope this turn so she might as well bring along the picks so we don’t need to backtrack for them later
We should test the parachutes to make sure they work. Strap one to a corn knight and kick him off
