Dungeon 12 Turn 49
————
Amadeusz opens the second chest (after smoking and discarded the rest of the pack of cigarettes) and finds a pet egg inside. Wonder what could be inside waiting to hatch?
Ricki and Lara attack the two frogs that guard the last egg sac. Both of their mushrooms get eaten in the process, and Ricki takes 1 damage from the skeletons in the hall combined with the poisonous water, but they successfully defeat both amphibians. Two new mushrooms sprout from the bodies.
Cordy picks up another coin in a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT panel from the last two.
Plan: finish this
Amad: drop the meat. Pick up harpoon. Get air
Lara: clear source. Get air
Ricki: loot last chest. drop oxymoss and Crit greaves to make room if need be. Get air.
Cordy: loot one more coin. Get air
Both Lara and Ricki have 3 hp. I’m assuming both with take one for source destruction and puffer only deals 1 dmg so either of them can tank it.
Harpoon is worth more so amad is swapping items.
Aren’t we going to keep the Crit Greaves?If we won’t use them in combat,we can sell them.
I am open to suggestions for other things to drop to make space. We drop the Crit greaves only if the chest item has weight 2
Admittedly,the only thing I can think of is for Amy to drop/eat the Raw Meat & Ricki trades the Staff to him.
Can characters safely come up for air if they’re being attacked? My worry is that Ricki will drown if she gets attacked by the pufferfish, since discarding the Oxymoss would open her up to drowning damage if she’s forced to stay underwater. That would result in 3 unblockable damage (one from the pufferfish, one from the source exploding next to her, one from drowning) and kill her.
IMO we should try and sacrifice one of their new mushrooms just to be safe.
Being attacked doesn’t prevent movement.
We move past skellies all the time. Not an issue
Ooh,a Pet Egg that we didn’t get from Petmaster!
As I already mentioned elsewhere,if it’s a Magicrow chik,can we call it Aleister (Aleister Crow the alchemist?There’s a wiki page for him).
I’m all in for Golden Dawn Crowley refs. So yeah.
If it’s magicrow, let’s call it Machik of Machick. Like ‘my chick’ crossed with ‘magic’.
That’s decent aswell,even if it sounds weird to pronounce!
Depending on the pet. We’ll run an informal vote in the comments for the name.
Plan: Let’s get a little greedy, and see if we can 100% the dungeon. This would be the first dungeon we’ve 100% that wasn’t mandatory for story progression, and we’re only 3 skeletons and a pufferfish short.
Ama: Go left, attack a skeleton.
Ricki: Go right, attack a skeleton
Lara: Destroy the pufferfish.
Cordy: Pick up another coin, I guess
Next turn:
Ama loots the chest to the left, dropping meat and (if needed) fishing rod
Ricki destroys last source
Lara kills the last skeleton.
Cordy maybe picks up a coin if they want.
It takes 17 Atk to oneshot a single Skeleton.
D: Aw, really? I had thought they were weaker than that.
They are.But they’re wearing (Rusty) Platemail.
I want to 100% a dungeon aswell,maybe we get bonus rewards for it.Who knows,maybe we’ll revisit a previous dungeon sometime (like in the classic RPGs).
Bad idea; dungeons usually get a lot harder after Turn 50, plus all of the sources will most likely respawn on Turn 50 as well. We just don’t have the time to do this anymore.
If we want to start doing 100% dungeon runs in the future we need to focus on killing monsters and clearing rooms one by one more.
Sources aren’t likely to respawn – defeating the boss seems to have ended that from the text we got on the turn he died.
Other consequences do seem likely though.
The ‘other consequences’ are exactly what I’m worried about. Even if we assume that the poison sources don’t respawn- the dungeon WILL get harder on Turn 50. Any number of things could happen, from the well flooding to some sort of reinforcement arriving- and frankly I’m not convinced that we won’t see the sources respawning.
We’re already incredibly low on HP and resources; three of our characters are at 3 HP and one is at 1 HP. We can’t afford to take unnecessary risks at this point. We can always try and go for 100% completion in a future dungeon.
This is assuming just the sources respawn. LSN has already mentioned we’ve been in here longer than expected. I think he’s going to teach us a lesson if we stay past 50
What about the crabs under the skeleton heads in the boss rooms?
They have all been one-shotted so far.
Btw, this plan potentially kills Amadeusz. He’s at 3 HP, 7 Def. He takes 6 from moving through Poison Water. The Skeleton he’s attacking is unspecified, so if it’s the Sword Skeleton, he takes 2 damage to his HP then drowns to death.
Best case scenario, the Sword Skeleton aggros onto Ricki, another Skeleton aggros onto Amadeusz, and the last Skeleton aggros onto either one of them which actually deals 1 extra damage to them since they’re out of defense at that points.
Can’t edit my other plan now, so here’s a version that deals with higher than guessed skeleton defense.
Ama: Go left, attack a skeleton.
Ricki: Kill pufferfish
Lara: Go right, attack the same a skeleton
Cordy: Head left 2, end turn with pet master
Btw, Blowfish takes 12 to kill. The Poison Water does probably 1 damage to the Blowfish based on what we’ve seen before, so we need 11 to kill.
Ricki has 8 Atk while underwater. So this plan does 2 damage to her and doesn’t kill the Blowfish.
Fair fair, thank you for checking. I should probably do math before posting.
Ricki: Loot the chest, drop oxymoss, crit gear, and helmet in that order if necessary (in the unlikely event that the chest has something really big that takes 4-5 weight, I’m assuming that it’ll be worth more than what we’d be giving up. I don’t expect to drop more than the oxymoss and one-two of the crit items though.) Come up for air.
Lara: Destroy the last poison source. Come up for air.
Amadeusz: Drop meat, pick up harpoon. Come up for air.
Cordy: Go left, challenge PET TRAINER with the full fury of your mushroom army.
This is basically the same as Claudious’s plan, only we have Cordy challenge the PET TRAINER instead of picking up another gold piece.
This will most likely not result in anything at all, at least in terms of items; however, it may cause LoneStarNorth to draw something funny due to their battle being ended prematurely, which would be well worth 1 less GP.
Addendum: Please for the love of god don’t be greedy, guys. We’re so low on health that we simply don’t have the time to go around and destroy the respawning sources while dealing with whatever will happen on Turn 50. We can find out what happens if we 100% a non-main story quest dungeon later.
Cordy can’t challenge the Pet Master.
Cordy is two spaces away, and it takes an action to initiate the battle.
Pet Battle also doesn’t instantly happen on making the challenge, it happens on the following turn. So turn 50 Cordy could double move left, turn 51 challenge, turn 52 send in his shroom to instantly die.
Oh, I was misreading the map then. It looks like people are dead set on 100% dungeon completion in any case. I just hope it doesn’t bite us in the ass.
Guys, we had a good run but I see no way for us to defeat that blowfish. Let’s abandon the dungeon.
What if we…uh…KILL the blowfish?Have you considered that?
Don’t take him seriously, he posts bad decisions on purpose.
I wonder how many times more we’ll explain that
WHAT? who told you that?
YOUR NAME,you annoying leech.
If we absolutely have to go for the Full Clear.
Ricki: Drop your Crit Greaves and loot the final chest. If you need more space, drop the Crit Gauntlets too.
Lara: Kill the last Blowfish. Have your Shroom distract it.
Cordy: Eat a Shroom, head up.
Amadeusz: Head left, eat Raw Meat.
