Dungeon 12 Turn 21
————
Lara swims back over to the egg sac (after dropping her wish coin, not wanting to use it here) and destroys it pretty easily. It bursts and she takes 1 damage, but is able to swim back and get some air, so drowning isn’t a factor.
Amadeusz picks up the raw meat and tears into it. Delicious! He recovers 3 HP.
Cordy stays in the water to leave more room on the narrow platform for others (very considerate) and stands on their many little mushrooms so they can still breathe (not very considerate). They dump another potion over themselves and recover 2 HP.
Ricki attempts to use her Case ability to identify what effect Pet Master’s items have on his pet beaver. Alas, it doesn’t work!
“HA HA HA!”
“Are you attempting to learn the function of my PET ITEMS?”
“Once PET ITEMS are equipped, they cannot be taken away! They are like PERMANENT BUFFS rather then regular equipment!”
“There is no way to learn what they do other than to PET BATTLE me!”
I feel like he doesn’t have many friends. I wonder why?
Is it because he’s a bigger asshead than Rival from PokemonRB?Or because he spent so much time focusing on pets that he never befriended anyone A LA Isolated Genius?Or maybe he fed all his friends to his beaver?
Now now, attacks against the person standing behind the pets is poor sportsmanship and against the spirit of Pet Battles.
But if we’re going to go that route, here’s an idea:
Send a lil mushie to battle against the beaver. It stands no chance of winning, but as a loyal lil baby Cordy it will battle anyway, and as its heroic dying action it will use the only proper move it knows, EXPLOSION. Such acts are sure to twist the guts of every proper, Pet-loving Trainer, and the single tear rolling down his cheek will be worth it
Wdym he has lotsa friends. It just so happened that they are also his pets.
I wonder if any tried escaping when he wasn’t looking.
Also,how often does LSN read the comments?I somehow never asked that…
Plan:
Ricki:Ask the lonely virgin if WereAmy can be used in the battle,or ifvit HAS to be one of the minishrooms.
The rest:swim down & crack some swarmfish skulls.
Also,unrelated,but when I went to re-read the Intermission where Lohk got a balcony & tried to reply to some joke,it failed 3 timed.Can you only comment on the newest chapters?
He’s such an asshole, there no way he’ll let us get away with that >.<
And someone risk being hit by 3 fish at once if we only have 3 people attacking them
Hey,I’m trying to be optimistic.It’s why I never voted to flee,& why I’m commenting here DESPITE almost always getting dislikes.
You’re forgetting 2 words: “minishroom” and “distraction”.
We need to specify it in the plan if we want a minishroom to attack as distraction. It is not automatic.
Plan courtesy of Sick
Minimize encounters and move to engage central fish.
Cordy: grab a coin. Move right
Amad: grab last coin. Move right.
Ricki: move right move right. Grab a coin. Breathe
Lara: move right move right. Grab a coin. Breathe
This gets us coins so we can engage mandatory group of fish with no poison dmg. We’ll kill 4 to start, then Cordy and Lara can do puffers while amad and Ricki finish the last 2.
This way we skip the left side fish and barricade which would make us drown a bunch unnecessarily. Win win!
This does mean we’re skipping the frog chest, at least for now, but that’s probably for the best
What about the oxymoss above the frog?
Oxymoss lets us avoid 3 instances of drowning damage. If we would take more than 3 damage getting to it, then it’s not worth it on its own.
Interesting plan.Do you want to uee the central shaft to appear to the right & above the skeletitan?Because we still don’t know what’s at the bottom of the well.
Yes. We could even scout the bottom room instead of killing the last fish if we wanted to know sooner
I think the coin count doesn’t work here. Lara will spend her only coin when killing 4 fish, then have no coins for puffer the turn after so she will take damage from 2 rooms of poison+2 puffer explosions on top of puffer unblockable damage.
Plus, this spend a whole turn and some drowning just to set up so we’re not that much ahead anyway since clearing poison eggs first would mean no need for it.
Our total damage on this plan would be:
1 on Cordy.
1 on amad
2 on Lara
Both plan options will make us drown a bit against the shaft fish eventually so I’m ignoring that in the calculations
Doing the optional fish first results in a more spread of dmg, but also has the risk that we can’t surface for air the same turn the puffers pop for fear that they do an aoe.
It’s the best so far!You have my vote,for however much it’s worth.
I think your math is dangerously wrong.
Lara has 16 defense with poison res. With -1 from underwater combat debuff and -10 from 2 puffer explosions, she has only 5 defense left for poison water. That means she takes 3 damage on top of 2 unblockable on puffer turn if poison water is still at 4 per room. And if it grew again on turn 20, Lara takes 7 total damage that turn, which KILLS HER since she will only have 7 hp after drowning on shaft fish.
Also Cordy is 1-2 just like moving down first.
So ignoring constants of shaft fish and 2 unblockable on Lara from puffer:
1-2 drowning on Cordy.
1 drowning on amad
3-5 damage on Lara when killing puffers(can be DEADLY after other damage taken)
I see. The main problem is the unknown of the water damage. I do seriously doubt it goes up every 10 turns, as our math calculations are unreliable with so many unknowns, but I understand the desire for caution. This plan is more risky than I had originally thought
Why do you doubt that? Most dungeons have had gradually increasing lethality.
The increasing lethality has always been a monster or something visibly known. Even the farm specifically told us how bad the debuff was getting.
I would expect the same transparency with water dmg if it was increasing which is why I think the dmg is a range: 3-4 or something
Alternate way to spend the turn after this one: Go try messing with Wish Coins or whatever in the little alcove that used to have an egg sac. See if we can get the water fully clean, which would give us an item that would make this a lot safer.
Wait! Per Master has a beaver! Tell Pet Master we’ll battle him if he instructs his beaver to destroy the dams in the rooms below. Once they’re gone, battle on.
That…actually MIGHT work,if we assume he’s egotistical enough to follow through the offer of a battle.
Anyone feel like those times when you boxed your main team and took weaker mons out to train up and/or evolve and stumbled into a high-level trainer you hadn’t noticed before?
How oddly specific.
I never had a handheld,so I can’t relate,but I did play flash-based RPGs a lot
Also,FUCK!As I was writing this,I unintentionally swipped up on my Samsing instead of tapped,now 52 tabs across 6 websites are GONE.
Fck,why does this happen to be so frequently.
Because you don’t use bookmarks?
I rarely have more than 5 tabs open at a time. Anything else is a bookmark.
I never had a need for them.I could just press a square & scroll,I don’t know why this is enough to dislike my comment,I just wanted to vent for a little bit
IN ADITION:It’s not just 1 page,but a series that I can flip through with the “go back” arrow.I frequently visit Tvtropes,Royal Road & r/HFY,so I’d have to bookmark each.Individual.Page.Which would be A LOT.
If you don’t like them, that’s your business. Just don’t complain when you lose tabs.
I didn’t downvote you, but my guess would be either they’re disagreeing that your method is a good idea, or they’re annoyed with the unrelated complaining, or they’re annoyed by your writing style.
I never said I disliked them,just that I didn’t need them (a LOT of things on mobile & PC are never used,actually).
That’s fair,I just wanted to let out my frustrations in a way that didn’t involve swearing/yelling in public.How is my “style” different to others?
Plan steady progress:
Everyone head down and kill a different swarmfish
This plan means the whole party will take a drowning dmg dealing with those optional fish.
Possibly more if the group can’t get air the same turn the puffers pop. Not to mention the crabs are a danger as well.
Assuming we do puffers round after, our totals would be:
1 drowning on Lara
1-2 drowning on rick
1-2
Drowning on amad
1-2 drowning on Cordy
So far,Claud above me has the best plan.Some others are even thinking 3 turns ahead.
I don’t see why the crabs would attack someone hitting the barricade to their right. Crabs ignored Amad looting the chest to their right, only attacking when Cordy looted a coin right in the middle of them.
Ask pet master to use his beaver to clear the dams.
