One point in each.

>>694630
we nearly died there, let's go for hardiness.

>>694628
2 points in gardening, one in clipper

Hmm, could you help Bruce repair his loincloth in exchange for information on where they're taking Strawberry?

One into each. All are useful.(damage, special skill, and extra hp)

>>694686
There's a synergy bonus it looks like if we go 2 garden 1 clip

Hmm.

2 in hardiness, 1 in clipper. Live longer, do more special attacks.

We should try to unlock a new ability for next time we gain mastery points. That means either all three points into hardiness or one point into Clipper and two points into Gardening. I'm leaning toward Gardening and Clipping just to unlock our first special.

+2 gardening, +1 hardines

>>694628
1 point in Gardening, 1 point in Clipper, 1 point in Hardiness to see what's unlocked.

Warwick decides to spread his mastery points between GARDENING, CLIPPER, and HARDINESS. Each skill improves by one rank!

Warwick has learned an active ability!

>ACTIVE ABILITIES:
>ACTIVE ABILITIES are used from the SPECIAL command in battle! Most active abilities cost SPIRIT to use, though there are some exceptions!
>Most active abilities are STRONGER than a regular attack, and many will also have SPECIAL ADDITIONAL EFFECTS! Warwick's CLIPPER ability, in addition to being stronger than a regular attack, has two additional properties!
>1 - CLIPPER bypasses targeting checks and accuracy checks! When CLIPPER is used, it will ALWAYS STRIKE THE MIDDLE OF A TARGET and WILL NEVER MISS BECAUSE OF NORMAL EVASION.
>2 - CLIPPER has an increased chance to SEVER compared to a regular attack so long as Warwick is equipped with a SCISSORS-TYPE weapon!

More skills have been revealed!

>TILL: CURRENT RANK - 0 out of 6
>Active Ability - Warwick makes an attack that targets the BOTTOM of his opponent with a chance to SEVER!
>Next Rank: Increases Damage Dealt, Costs 5 Spirit

>HORTICULTURE: CURRENT RANK 0 out of 6
>Passive Skill - Slight Increase to Damage and Critical Strike Chance vs PLANTS!
>Improves knowledge of PLANTS and chance to scavenge useful PLANTS from environment!

>REVENGE: CURRENT RANK 0 out of 4
>Passive Skill - Chance to gain SPIRIT whenever taking damage

make haste towards strawberry, be wary of ambushes.

Looking around the area, Warwick finds several scraps of BRUCE's Loincloth, gaining two STRIP OF CLOTHs and 3 CLOTH TATTERSs.

Bruce ran off in one direction, while Marge walked off in a different direction altogether with Strawberry.

>NEW ITEM DISCOVERED: CLOTH TATTERS
>Used outside of battle to REPAIR damaged clothing, recovers a small amount of durability

>NEW ITEM DISCOVERED: CLOTH STRIP
>Used outside of battle to either REPAIR damaged clothing, OR used as a material for CRAFTING clothing

Should Warwick:

Pursue BRUCE?
Pursue MARGE AND STRAWBERRY?
Take a break to repair clothing before pursuing either, possibly losing the trail?

Persure Marge and Strawberry. We can't let the trail get cold.

Stay on target, follow Marge. If you spot her and she's not going to get away, repair your clothing before engaging.

Pursue Bruce. Maybe we can give him back his CLOTH STRIPS and CLOTH TATTERS as an apology and make friends with him, and possibly have him convince to marge to release Strawberry.

persue Marge and Strawberry

>>694830
or clothes are still good enough for now so we can repair later after we
>Pursue MARGE AND STRAWBERRY

>>694830
Pursue Strawberry.

Peruse strawberries.

pursue bruce as he might have some info on where marge took strawberry as well as why


that and we should go for that sexy lizard.

>>694855
I'm not sure if Warwick swings that way. I not only mean the gender but also the species as well. Besides did you see the way Bruce fled? That was the goofiest and all together least sexy run I have ever seen. I mean he was literally staring straight up at the sky instead of looking where he was going as he ran from danger in a forest.

Strawberry is the important thing

>>694830
Try your best to forget that the cloth came from the crotch-rag of a forest lizard.

Also follow Strawberry no matter what.

>>695020
Actually maybe instead of just pretending that isn't where they came from we should do something about it. Take a whiff of the cloth and if they smell rank we can decide to rinse them off before we put lizard B.O. all over our clothes.

>>694830
Use CLOTH STRIP to form BANDANA.

Bruce already delayed you, and if our fight with him illustrated anything, it's the importance of being ready to get beat about a bunch.

Use 3x cloth tatters to repair overall.

Pursue Bruce

>>694830
Pursue Bruce. He might've been trying to mislead you!

Pursue MARGE AND STRAWBERRY

>>694830
go for bruce.

for what reason would we possibly pursue bruce

>>695392
Marge and Strawberry are moving more slowly, less aware of us, Bruce knows where they're going, and Marge expects him to meet her there, so if we catch Bruce and persuade him to cooperate, tracking or intercepting them is still a very realistic possibility. Bruce is unarmed, unarmored, his morale has been broken, and he's alone, so it might be easier to secure his cooperation than that of fresh, fully-equipped, hostage-bearing Marge.

Pursue Bruce. You got lucky, kid, so press the advantage while you've got it, and don't count on things going that well every time.

>>695397
I have a few qualms against this argument. First off being slower and less aware of us chasing her is more an argument for us to ignore Bruce. Considering Bruce knows we're after him he could be running somewhere where we would get ambushed by some buddies of his. Next off if Marge is trying to keep hold of Strawberry that's going to give her problems in a fight as well rather than make it easier. If Marge is going to threaten Strawberry's life it isn't going to make things better that we chased down Bruce first.

Warwick decides to pursue Marge, pocketing the scraps of cloth as he heads off in the direction she did!

It isn't long before he sees a large shape moving through the thick trees, and a short further pursuit reveals it to be a large lizard with someone slung over their shoulder! Warwick attempts to creep closer, but the figure suddenly stops and turns! Apparently Warwick isn't very good at sneaking!

Warwick quickly dives behind a bush as the lizard speaks.

"About time Bruce, you almost didn't catch up before I got back to town!"

She stops after that, looking around for a few seconds.

"Bruce?"

Should Warwick:

Continue attempting to follow Marge?
Confront Marge?
OTHER (explain)

surprise attack!

Get yourself psyched up, and open with a surprise CLIPPER attack.

Imply that you fucked Bruce. That'll distract her.

SNEAK ATTACK!

Carve out her bastard eyes!

confront, she can't fight you and carry strawberry at the same time.

>>695457

But she could use her as leverage against us... That's the whole point of having a hostage.

Try to use your clippers to sever her sack, making all the stuff inside fall out. If she tries to gather it up, she'll have to let go of Strawberry.

CONFRONT is the only heroic option!

I can't help but suspect that we shouldn't let her get back to town, so follow is a no go. We're no good at sneaking and she's alerted so can't really do anything fancy. Let's go with confront.

>>695451
Confront her, now. She might have help if you let her get to town!

Also, suggest she should really leave your friend alone and go help Bruce. He could use her help right now. (Implied hostage situation- pretending we left him hurt).

>>695451
Admire lil kickin legs

>>695451
Hide. If you stay crouched guards cant see you beyond 10m if you stay still.

Attack him right in the sneak! also, strawberry us not tied, at least not the legs, if we make him drop her, she can run away!

quickly confess that your madly in love with her beauty this will help you get in her pants or dress rather... oh and it could distract her so you can rescue strawberry.

wave Cloth Tatters, tell her Bruce had to go change.

Confront Marge, but without revealing yourself. "Bruce isn't here. Set down the princess and step away, or I'll send you off to catch up with him."
