I try to, but the argument between the Tonberries is too much for me to handle. I can't separate them both!

(Gezzono's LOOOOOOOOOONG syllables have been shortened for everyone to understand.)

"... YES, DEZZONO'S DEAD! AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!"

"... Me?! I told you not to follow me. I can handle my own."

"You and your arrogance costed you the candidacy for the prophecy in the first place! What makes you think I'd be confident that you won't screw up again?!"

After a few minutes, I finally get them separated. Gezzono seems to be distraught more at the loss of Dezzono, while Gazzene might've been hurt by what the perv said about her.

At this point of time, I can cater only to one Tonberry. Who should I meet up with, first?

>>63802
Gazzene. She needs hugz. And hugs are what kobolds are best at.

>>63803
I disagree actually, Gazzene may need hugz, but at least she has time lord technology to console her. Gezzono doesn't though, and we don't know much about him, this could be a chance to learn more.

Gezzono.
He needs to know what happened with Sanya and we can talk with him about Gazzene.

Hopefully he realizes that she feels terrible about the loss of Dezzono, too. He's not alone with that, and they would be doing each other a favor if they didn't fight about it - after all, Dezzono (probably) wouldn't have wanted them to fight.

Gezzono. He just found out, he's going to be hurting more.

I concur. We do need to talk to Gazzene eventually, but Gezzono needs us more right now.

Because you're the comedy relief.

He seems to passively shrug it off. His mind is really troubled.

He mentions that before Sanya, he was the last one who "took the initiation", but failed to finish the test. To regain his honor, he was tasked to guide the new candidate throughout the test, and see to it that she passes it.

Gezzono also mentions about Gazzene and Dezzono. They lived in Alcardia, the village of Tonberries. His parents are the rulers of the place, but they were already growing old and thus needed a ruler. Being the oldest, Gezzono took the responsibility, but due to his initiation he could not maintain the authority. Princess Gazzene is to take his place, but she is infamous for leaving the safety of her people in jeopardy just to have her own adventure.

Ever since Gezzono's failure, Gazzene is quite worried about his state, and so recently she tags along even without his consent.

"... Her recklessneeeeess just took its toooooll... Dezzono's deeeeead..."

Nah.
He might be depressed and useless after, but we at least know she's probably not dead.

"Either she's still invisible and being really quiet, or she disappeared on the way here."

I tell him that she got ahead of us and went to the dungeon. Gezzono is silent, but nods in agreement.

Gezzono takes a quick look at his left hand; the infection still remains and the tentacles keep growing, but now at a very slow rate.

>>64322
Go check up on Gazzene, but ask Gezzono if he knows what's up with his tentacle-hand.

Heck right it isn't. First, Gezzono. Then, Sanya. Now Gazzene?

I really think there's a third party involved in all these disappearances. Whoever it is, s/he's breaking us apart.

I still have Gezzono and the two Dorfs who are outside. I have a feeling that we shouldn't delay this and head straight to the King's Room. It's the only way we can find some answers.

What do you think?

>>64362
If you want to jump right at the boss fight, be my guest.

Last time I did, we still had Gazzene. Now we're being picked off one by one. I don't want this to continue anymore.

I've called the two Dorfs back and told them about Gazzene's disappearance. They quickly resolve to searching for her and Sanya.

We climb up, expecting a battle against a lot of Elite Dorfs, but the place seems very clean of them.

"Dis is strange," Grandorf noticed. "I could'a sworn thar' be a lot o' Dorfs 'round here."

I check on Gezzono and his infected hand. He says he's starting to take control over it, but knows that he can't have them for too long or he might risk not having his hand anymore. He wants this matter ended quickly.

Try to split them up. See if you can fire an arrow at Sanya to make her follow you. Either way, tell Gezz to run the other way and try to think of something.

Don't forget about the Dorf King he's also controlling. Yelims is probably grinning like that because the King is about to perform a surprise attack on you. So, dodge then shoot.

You've gotta get your hands on that stone. Yelmis will probably stop you if he sees you going for it, so act like you're going to try to knock the Dorf King out, and lure the King over to the throne. While the Dorf King is blocking Yelmis's line of sight, grab the purple stone.
