“That is definitely going to get somebody hurt.”
“Probably.”
“It’s nice to have something to do during our breaks, though.”
“You know, if you got that library or living room, fixed up, you might have some more options.”
“Yeah, I guess.”
“On that note, is now a good time to plan your next move?”
“Sure!”
“If you recall, I told you about that village with the poisoned well some time ago. It’s still there, but I don’t know how much longer it’ll be before it either gets dealt with by someone else, or the villagers have to move on.”
“Lots of poison damage and probably some underwater combat involved there.”
“And there’s also the two… suggestions… Amadeusz made.”
“The Guard outpost if you want to try and score some weapons, or the research facility if you want some magic equipment.”
“They both sound risky to me, to be honest.”
“But I guess you’ll have Amadeusz himself with you, and I doubt he’d go to either location personally if he wasn’t confident.”
“So what are you thinking?”
“Hmmm…”
Like this comment to go to the Poisoned Well!
If the Guard Outpost and Research Facility are both completed first, this dungeon will no longer be available.
Our current understanding is that Amadeusz will come with us to the well. We don’t know his character sheet, so that could prove to be a liability in the poison well, and we already have two characters that are very well suited to the well in the form of Lara and Cocyx. If we want to be able to bring along healing, we’ve got to leave one of those behind if we do the well now. On the other hand, if we do the well after one of the imperial dungeons, we’ll be able to leave Amadeusz behind and bring our dream team of Lohk, Cocyx, and Lara.
This. Let’s not bring a complete unknown to a gimmick dungeon like the well.

If the Research Facility is completed first, this dungeon will be harder.
I think this is the best choice. We can bring Mac and get a bunch of smiffing done for this dungeon to empower us for the following dungeons. Probably something like Kamau or Cordy, Macadamia, and then Amadeusz.
I was about to object that the well will be gone permanently, but realized I forgot to read and it says BOTH the Research Lab and Guard Post had to be completed for this to happen. The wording on Intermission 9 Page 37 said “either” and had me thinking we would be drawing attention to ourselves that might make it difficult to do missions like the well.
However, I think maybe the Sentry Post and Underground Shelter are looking more and more like a good idea what with the implications that guards may be searching for us. If we do the well first, it might buy us time to do these upgrades AND say, the Library.
Same here, at first I somehow managed to misread that ‘BOTH’ there.
However.. what does it mean “will be harder”?
I think I’m less worried of “harder GuardPost” than “harder ResearchFacility”..
Seriously. “Harder ResearchFacility” sounds like a nightmare.
Mac cannot smif magic items as of yet so we’ll lose a lot if we go there now.
Hm. Correct.. Ok, you’ve convinced me 🙂

I think I’d rather see “harder GuardPost” than this, so let’s do ResFact first.
But maybe it’s just my imagination after all those SciFi works seen..
For the people who want to know what the goblin said and have trouble with coloured text, like me…
PAWS (deliberately ignoring Coccyx’s thunderlike fall from the skateboard): “That is definitely going to get somebody hurt.”
RICKI (hoping that Coccyx will be fine, and knowing that they won’t remember the fall anyways): “Probably.”
“It’s nice to have something to do during our breaks, though.”
PAWS (hinting heavily): “You know, if you got that library or living room, fixed up, you might have some more options.”
RICKI (breaking the fourth wall for a second to look at the voting readers): “Yeah, I guess.”

Reminder: Amadeusz, a completely unknown quantity, will come with us regardless of the dungeon we choose. And we don’t need to choose the well now. We can, and should, do it after dealing with Amadeusz.
