Dungeon 16 Turn 27
————
Kamau, Ix, and Toaster use their ranged attacks to attempt to knock the onion out of the air. It takes significant damage, but Kamau’s subpar results with the wand of more magic missile means the onion yet persists. Ricki tries to finish it off, but her attack whiffs as she can’t see what she’s doing.
The onion flies to the left.
Ricki finds herself in a new room. She thinks? She doesn’t have Dungeon Eyes so much as Onion Eyes right this second.
Botanya climbs on top of the empty chest and tries to jump up to climb on the underside of the cloud above her again, but she just can’t reach.
These are going to be a few messy turns coming up. Yikes.
I wanted to suggest Botanya moving right – there might be a way up and left in the unknown room to the right – or at least a ladder, so she can grab the ceiling..
..but the clouds have 8, 8 and 7 puffs, so one trip rightwards makes it 9, 9, 8 – and I think we don’t know if a cloud disappears at 9 or 10. This may mean that Botanya will be stuck on the right ledge if we don’t like the room to the right, or can’t use it to evac her.
She could also go back left and jump to the cloud below. Longer route, but at least it’s known dangers and known cost.
I lost the link to CombatDoctor’s map (and dont know if he tracks this dungeon), so I quickly made a chart. Seems it’s safe-ish from Ricky’s place to fall, but Botanya has a great deep unknown under her, no idea if she can take a parachute-ride down if the room to the right is awful. Aw crap.
And we have 2 to 4 unknown rooms.
Scouting right risks botania being stranded and we don’t want that. We’ll be able to scout that room later..
Jumping down is a remorse for Kamau. Don’t have many of those left.

(or https://tinyurl.com/preview/dungeoneyes-map for short), but CombatDoctor hasn’t tracked this dungeon yet. So, thank you for the map.
Plan: damage control
Onion took 3 dmg from Kamau cleave (9 hp left). Kamau and ix did at least 6-8 dmg (1-3 hp left). Ix alone can finish it off since he does 4 dmg after onion def.
Ricki: land gracefully and move right after. Unlock door.
Kamau: drop the crow stone with the pile of weapons. Open the left most chest.
Ix and toaster: move left and throw shocktail at onion.
Botania move left. Use the bottle to make a platform that you can hop across. Regroup with golly.
Sad to use that bottle so soon but we really can’t afford to take any more risks. The upcoming fight is going to need everyone and I don’t want to risk botania becoming unreachable when those clouds disappear
I think it will be better for Kamau to tie a rope for botanya this turn. It will be better to use a less useful Botanya action to loot the chest. The rope needs to be tied eventually anyway.
I don’t think we need to just yet as botania has to move and fix her inventory for a few turns and doesn’t need to be on the second floor for her debuff to work
1. Toaster also attacks the UFO, right?
2. Are we really certain that Ix can reach the UFO before it flows upwards? (Or should there be a contingency plan?)
3. Has the Stalkroach behind the second chest been taken into account? https://gist.github.com/KingMarth/2c55735080b5b7a39b1514154a2cb177
says:
Might do nothing when interacting with the first chest only, but also might jump up and collect things from our floor storage, who knows?
4. There is a trap on the floor immediately above the UFO. Ricki might point this out to everyone.
1. Included toaster in the attack action with ix. Even without toaster, ix can take it out.
2. Chases tend to rule in our favor. We’ve chased down a bird 2 rooms away before it escaped.
3. Probably going to be a hulkroach which hits harder. Might be the only food princess can get. Kamau ix and ricki can handle that next turn.
4. Yeah. We’ll need to do that when we engage general. Since Kamau can’t interpose lettuce and corn, may need to bait the corn over to lettuce with ix so Kamau can.
I think Ricky should really point out the trap anyways. Yes, chases work in our favor, but the Onion is moving whlie we’r chasing it, and the “favor” (which I do not believe is a hard rule by the way) only would guarantee that we catch the Onion before it fully spends its 1 MOV to move back to the right room but on upper floor. This means, there’s nothing that gives a glimpse of a guarantee that we are going to catch the Onion right here, on lower level. For all the cinematic chase scenery and adrenaline, our team can catch the Onion up above right before it exits the room. And this means walking over the trap, which certainly would be entertaining!
