Dungeon 12 Turn 28
————
Amadeusz swims back up and helps fight the remaining fish. He and Lara each destroy one, while Cordy uses the wand to raise another mushroom (which can go to themself or Lara). All three of them avoid damage from fish and poison, but all three also lose 1 HP from drowning. Amadeusz is getting very close to death!
Amadeusz also drops his wand of mend on the ground.
Ricki heads to the left.
After leaving behind her paw, purse, and harpoon, Ricki ducks through the tunnel in the wall and crawls upwards.
Ricki immediately attacks the group of three ghouls. Her crit items that she’s definitely been wearing since she found them (don’t check) activate and she beheads one, while dodging the other two. However, naturally, the one that hits manages to paralyze her. She can take no action next turn.
Kat’s Plan continued:
Cordy: Pick up the Wand of Mend and use it on Amad. Move left for air
Lara: Move left and pickup Harpoon. Get air.
Amad: Move left and all the meat you can.
Ricki: Dodge incoming attacks while paralyzed like a boss.
Heals Amad up to 5 with another meat to go. After that we probably eat candy and scout while Ricki Hopefully clears Ghouls and Frog. We’ll also see where the source respawns.
Suggest he eats both meats, just in case he’s allowed to do that?
Done. Here’s hoping!
Hey,what did we do with the Magicrow Whistle?Did we sell it?
Yes
Don’t forget to specify Lara is looting the lone harpoon near the hole, not the one in our stash.
Can Lara pick up both harpoons? She and Ricki are the only ones who can use them unless Amad-wolf transforms , and Ricki will be busy for many turns while Lara may be throwing one on Turn 30.
If they’re both in the same place on the ground already she could, but we would have to set that up so not really, no.
Oh shoot. I can’t edit anymore.
LSN: Lara is picking up the underwater harpoon please!
Must be lucky to have the time to think out your comments.It’s usually bedtime for me by the time the comic is updated for me,hence my panic down below.
Of course if all of this was happening moment-to-moment like XCOM,I’d be able to contemplate more & review items without my eyes closing themselves.
One day I’ll make a suggestion that WON’T get downvoted.Maybe when we’re deciding who to send to the Research Outpost.
It’s not a competition on who gets votes. We do a lot of messages on the discord where we share theories and ideas and often remind each other of the game rules we’ve learned. Everyone is welcome to join the discord. We’re part of the minority or readers but we do keep track of monster stats and rules they we’ve figured out.
Just thinking now… can Ricky dodge when paralyzed?
We’ll presumably find out soon.
Hopefully whatever’s in that chest is worth 80 coins or can heal 7 HP.And just to be sure:can Ricki fight the frog WITHOUT being automatically swallowed?
Oh,& I noticed the Archive hasn’t been updated past Dungeon 10 (Lara mission).How come?
> How come?
IIRC, there’s no auto/bot/etc. LSN has to have time to do it.
Yea,I had assumed as such,but I also assumed that he’d have done it during the break after Amy’s Level-up & the previous intermission…
IN ADITION:How did you type that arrow?I tried the same & apparently there are symbols that the website won’t let me type…
Let me just go trough everythong on the list on my Samsung…

That’s the “greater than” arrow. >
& I tried to type it out,but only got the “less-than” arrow,because reasons.
WereAmy:EAT CANDY.Then pick up the Mend Wand!
Cordy:Absorb Minishroom,send a different minishroom to Ricki if possible.
Rickolas “Rots in a Cage” “Ricki” Pilferlot Lohksdottir 1st:Regret everything you’ve done the past hour
Lara:grab one of the coins on the floor.
Was this entirely a shitpost?
What are you talking about? That plan is flawless.
xD
Hahaha *HA*
It was late at night & I panicked.I assumed Amy would take damage as soon as he moved between screens,ergo he had to eat the candy first to be back at 2 HP.
It was late.I was tired.I panicked while reading.I forgot about the steaks I mentioned the previous page.I assumed Amy wouldn’t get to resurface in the previous room BEFORE taking damage.
Just to list things out, so you can see why you got downvoted and endorsed as perfect by the “I make bad decisions” guy….
– You gave Ama 2 actions, so only one of the two would be done.
– You didn’t specify Ama get off the current screen, so he would have taken drowning damage.
– We took the wand of mend off Ama this turn, since we want it on someone else
– There are other sources of healing available to Ama, but it sounds like you’ve noticed that now.
– Total damage occurs at the end of the turn. Remember the turn where Lara kinda died, but didn’t? That’s not because Mend resurrects characters, it’s because a character isn’t considered dead until the total net change of the turn is considered. So if a character goes to 0, then gets healed by 1, then they live.
– Cordy can’t send his old shrooms to people, only newly created ones. Admittedly he does have a newly created one right now, but the way you phrased that makes me want to double check you noticed that’s how the mechanic works.
– Ricki can’t get a new shroom because she already has one
– Ricki’s command is actually about as valid as can be managed. Good job!
– Lara’s command doesn’t have her leaving the screen, so she would drown.
– Lara doesn’t really need a coin all that badly. There are better actions for her.
Tacking on to Bruno’s plan. I didn’t realize eating candy was an option. Everyone should be doing that every turn. Guys, it’s free level ups.
is there a way to see the entire map that we revealed so far in one image? thanks.
Here’s something another user has been maintaining.
https://viewer.diagrams.net/index.html?tags=%7B%7D&layers=1&nav=1&title=Dungeon%20Eyes#Uhttps%3A%2F%2Fdrive.google.com%2Fuc%3Fid%3D1Kbl4QaQZ205RJG2DVZXetuXqJ985Wglz%26export%3Ddownload%23%7B%22pageId%22%3A%22UYIDgUoIPi36Hk2FeH4X%22%7D#%7B%22pageId%22%3A%22UYIDgUoIPi36Hk2FeH4X%22%7D
I pointed out that I haven’t seen the user in the comments before,& got loads of dislikes for it…
CombatDoctor was very active in previous chapters. If you rewind the story, you’ll see him. The current state of the map shows that he’s still here, and updates the map when possible.
Still, I saw those -1s on that post of yours and don’t understand them. Ppl could just reply to you like I do now. In that matter, those -1s tell next to nothing IMO
Yea,it’s why I mentioned (while talking to Claudius 3-4 pages ago) that I get dislikes for making the same mistakes as others.
And I haven’t read the comments for EVERY page,just up to Ch3/Chapel Page/turn 3,so if he became active some time later OF COURSE I wouldn’t see him.I only found the comic during Macadamia’s previous Level-Up.I legit cahen’t seen FieldMedic in the coments so far.
Let’s imagine a scenario.
There’s a kid in your class who always gives dumb answers when the teacher asks a question. When the teacher asks what 2+2 is, he says you have to add the + first, and the + is just 2 lines crossed so it counts as 2, so the answer is 222. When the teacher asks what you call the part of the water cycle where water falls to the ground, he says “8PM”. When the teacher asks him to read a page from a book, he somehow pronounces 70% of the words wrong, and misreads several words. What’s more, he doesn’t seem to listen when he is corrected, and makes the same mistakes every single day.
So when you hear this kid getting up to answer, you have the preconceived notion in your head that the answer is going to be dumb. It’s possible he’s going to surprise you, and actually get that 2+2 is 4 this time, in which case his utterly normal level of comprehension will be more or less ignored, just like it would be if anyone else managed to answer that question. But if he gives an answer that sounds utterly silly again, even if it’s not technically absolutely wrong, like “2+2 is a math problem,” he’s going to get laughed at.
That’s why you get dislikes instead of explanations for some of your comments.
Who cares whether you’ve seen CombatDoctor in the comments before? I’m still mystified as to why you felt the need to point that out. If other readers felt the same way, that might explain the downvotes you got.
If you were trying to explain why you didn’t already know about the map, you didn’t need to. We all know you’re new here, and we all know when you arrived – it was not exactly a quiet entrance 🙂
Basically, asking legitimate questions is good; cluttering up the page with pointless comments is not so good.
Can Amadeusz even GO BACK to the steaks & coinpurse WITHOUT taking drowning damage?Remember that he STILL has the Hallowe’en candy,& can probably eat it while he’s moving.
I think he can, pocket of air is along the way. IIRC, “drowning” hits when a person doesnt resurface at all in given turn, and in this turn 28 we have here he took damage already. If he gets some air in next turn 29, even in between other actions, he should be OK.
But he NEEDS to be able to move to the room. IF he attacks something, he’s locked, and can’t move between rooms. I’m not sure if all fish here are dead. We just need to ensure he doesn’t attack the fish. If the fish bites him when he’s moving/passing/fooling – that’s OK. IIRC OFC.
According to the page,the only fish left alive is the one nibbling on Lara’s legs.
I assumed drowning begins before any action(like attacking or using items),hence me yelling “EAT CANDY”.Of course INSTEAD of anyone clarifying the situation,the BEST THING according to everyone was to dislike/anti-vote & ask if I’m trolling.
People have clarified many times. It’s unclear if you’re not reading people’s clarifications, or you’re not understanding them, or you’re forgetting immediately and making the same mistakes on the very next page. Also there were so many bad things on that post that I genuinely thought you had gotten frustrated and decided to intentionally post a “let’s kill the whole team” post
Did they?I dnn’t remember reading those comments (or a lot of other things,because job) but if I did I should have retained that info.And no,I’m not that sort of jerk,nothing comes of that decision.
You’re mostly right, but with one very important aspect wrong:
It’s not whether or not they get air at some point in the turn, but whether or not they can get it when they end their turn. If a character starts the turn in air, but ends underwater, they’ll take drowning damage.
I usually am content to leave the discussions to others but this one’s got me very tense. HP is going up and down like a yoyo and it feels like we are a misplay away from losing someone. Resources are burning and we don’t have eyes yet on the final objective. If we keep going for the full clear and stuff keeps respawning we might be in trouble. Pushing to the end unsafely is just as risky. Those down crabs alone might snip someone to death. Depending on how much stuff comes back on turn 30, we should at least keep considering an abandon.
really wish we had invested a bit more in Lohk and took the hint to bring them as a healer as a +1 on mend would have gone a long way, but also this dungeon is giving me all the worst flashbacks to running The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan for my old D&D group. The constant HP tax on everything is making even small fights costly.im gunna return to my quiet corner again now to sweat anxiously for the resolution.
I definitely was on the Lohk cocyx lara team train.
However, Lohk would have been reaaaaally tricky to manage this dungeon with her very small amount of hit points. Even with her mega healing. I think Ama actually turned into a decent pick with him being able to eat meat to heal and his hot point pool. I think only Cordy is the one that really hampers us. And even his mushrooms were using to decent affect by triggering death bombs.
But having cocyx here would have made this a lot easier to just waltz in and get stuff done. Full clear would be out (I think it’s out now, honestly.) but we would have a lot better ability to plan, harvest coins, and take out polyps at range.
But we don’t have that so… We gotta deal.
I really don’t know who voted for Cordy,helpful as he was…
You’re free to talk more often!That shrine sounds interesting!
Does Cordy need direct line-of-sight to send Minishrooms to help Ricki?Sure,she has good defense,but she might be screwed if she gets hit by a 2nd paralysis.
No. He just needs to make new mini shrooms. He can’t send the ones he currently has.
Also he needs Ricki’s current one to die. She can’t have 2.
