Dungeon 7 Turn 43
————
Kamau and Macadamia arrive to help Lohk take out the wandering creatures before they can cause any trouble. Macadamia then quickly checks the underground room for changes, but everything looks as it was before.
“Hi! My name’s Ricki!”
“hello ricki”
“…”
“…Okay, so, do you need help getting down from here or something?”
“no i was just enjoying the view”
“you can see so much from up here”
“at least more than you can from underground”
“inside a seed”
“Yeah, I guess so. What are you gonna do next?”
“probably get out of here”
“it’s kind of monstery”
“Do you have anywhere to go?”
“i was born three minutes ago so no not really”
“Well, my friends and I just got this cool house we’re fixing up. Do you want to come with us?”
“There’s lots of room to grow more plants, if that’s what you’re into. We came here to get some seeds actually, so if you could help us out with our garden we’d appreciate it a lot.”
“hmm okay i guess so”
The strange plant lady agrees to follow Ricki out of the dungeon. She doesn’t necessarily agree to join the party though, at least not yet. Honestly it’s not really clear what she’s thinking. She didn’t even give her name.
Ricki decides there will probably be time to sort out details on the way home.
Kamau: Head down one screen and interpose for the party fighting the potatobeast. Ask yourself whether you feel like you could somehow simultaneously pick multiple onions with your fancy new gloves.
Ricki: Switch your bat armor out for the potatoes on Molly to clear an inventory slot, then head down two screens. Bring along your plant friend. Attack the potatobeast with your hunter’s bow. Make some more small talk with your new friend if you can. Pick up any potatoes that drop and add them to your pile of potatoes, and also pick up 5 tomatoes to fill another slot.
Macadamia: Head right to briefly check out the pumpkin screen, then head back left and down to the basement and attack the potatobeast with the swiftblade.
Lohk: Head down and fireball the potatobeast.
Let’s end this *cue dramatic music*
Frozen chicken delight for dinner. No eggs?
winner winner.. 😉
She/it(?) looks like a primrose, opium poppy, wallflower, even narcissus or gardenia could fit, can’t wait to find out more!
I thought the big flower looked a little poppy-ish, especially with all the opium-like effects of drowsiness.
OK we’re going to need a reference letter and your last three paycheck stubs before you can move in
> “i was born three minutes ago so no not really”
alright. you know the law, and this is the internet
we’ll definitely need an official ruling here
regarding to their species, does 3 minutes make them adult already?
can we (legally) ask them to go with us? do some work? fight? change clothes?
or we treat carefully on thin ice as they’re still a child?
:evil lawyer grin:
OBJECTION! Newly formed plants are considered SPROUTS/SPROUTLINGS, not children.
Go with us? Certainly. The Guard will eventually nuke her otherwise.
Do things? Depends a lot on the conversation we have on the way back home. But probably she’ll be able to help.
Legally, no. But we have Macadamia who is a master criminal! So it doesn’t really matter.
Going on theme for calling things outside what they actually are, I vote calling our new friend, violet. 🙂
let’s call them Bud
I like the plant lady, let’s be nice to her so she joins us.
