Dungeon 16 Turn 24
————
The party splits once more, with most of the ascending to the flying fortress and Botanya hurrying back to Paws before he leaves. The lettuce punches her into the next room, but her new shield blocks the damage. She hopes Paws will still buy it now that it’s dented.
Botanya arrives just as Paws is getting ready to bail. She sells all the corn knights’ stuff except for one (non-dented) tower shield, then buys another magic lens, more thieves’ tools, and the rabbit paw once again. It’s starting to get expensive!
“I got a look at what they’re doing down at the base of the giant flower.”
“Are you guys going to be able to get out of here okay?”
“my brother offered to give me a lift”
“I see.”
“Well, take care. I’ll drop by the manor in a few days.”
Paws jumps off the cloud and drifts safely to the ground using a parachute that he didn’t seem to be offering for sale.
In the fortress, Kamau Interposes yet another giant battle. Ricki and Ix are each able to defeat a pea soldier (neither of which stops moving), one on the ground and one in the air. Princess takes a bite out of a third.
Plan: fight on.
Botania: keep that shield equipped. Move right and scout right.
Kamau: interpose again
Ix: throw shocktail at living crossbow pea
Ricki: attack living ground pea
Clears the peas and scouts the room.
Next turn we can bait the onions into melee with ricki and Kamau and ix can take care of them
Additionally: Botanya, pick up that rope!
Can’t. Using action to double move. Really want eyes on that room since it may change how we deal with onion chest below
um.. what’s the deal the peas with crossbows? the crossbows looked really different the first time we saw them in D16T22.
Is that an indication of loaded/unloaded? does it mean they have no ammo and can’t shoot now?edit: I checked turns 13-14-15 and crossbows of those peas didn’t change appearance, before/after shooting. Strange!
Also, I’ve noticed that those double-crossbows from turn 13 actually look differently than those we’ve here in T22 and now in T24 they look like single-crossbow
The one box has a roach inside
Hey I just realized Botanya is in the perfect position to get that floating onions chest using Claudious’ idea with her gloves from a couple turns back while the rest clear castle. Should we try it?
Ricki can scout for free when lensing boss and opening jail door anyway.
Claudious plan but botanya gets to chest:
Botania: Put lockpicks and lens on golly. Use your gloves to action move right by climbing along the bottom floor across the gap to the right. End turn next to chest.
Kamau: interpose again
Ix: throw shocktail at living crossbow pea
Ricki: attack living ground pea
Botanya has no room to store whatever is in the box. She would first need to move some of her stuff onto Golly (free action). She will leave Golly behind, because 1. Golly has no gloves. 2. Golly is “Smallish: Can be lifted by other characters” and we do not want Golly to be next to an flying onion, whose “melee attack grabs a Small target and carries them”.
Botanya also needs to pick up that rope!
You’re right, thanks! Luckily it is still letting me edit so now Botanya put stuff in Golly first.
Botanya should have “Grab floor rope you bought before and anything else you can get from the floor.” but did not. We might want to pick up the rope now (and maybe other stuff?).
Picking stuff up needs an action. It can normally be combined with trading with other characters but someone asked on discord about this and LSN said Paws specifically is an exception.
OK, then no rope now; maybe when Paws has left. (Thanks for the edit for the plan.)
