Oh hello there, Wisdom Stone. Sorry if I ignored you for a bit; I was busy tending to Gazzene's wounds from the battle.

Asses the situation.

>>61718
Better make sure that wound gets disinfected and bandaged before continuing on, wouldn't want Gazzene to get an infection.

I can only wash the wound off with some water we found by the kitchen, but I can't bandage the wound without the necessary items.

>>61720

After knowing that the dungeon had been sealed off, our Dorf and Grandorf went outside to guard our area. Their appearance should be enough to fool the ones outside into thinking they're guards.

I haven't told Gazzene about Sanya yet. I feel the need to do so, but with the loss of her brother still lingering around her, I don't know if now's the right time.

What the fuck are you dicking around for? Sanya might not be dead. You need to fucking find her. Tell everybody what happened. Somebody might know somehting.

Yeah, Sanya might still be alive. The quicker we know and act, the faster we'll find her... But if she's...

... I tell Gazzene everything about Sanya, including the fact that she was the original holder of the Wisdom Stone I have. She seems surprised to know that I've also lost someone dear.

"... If you're talking about the traps, then there's a chance that she's only been captured. However, there's a separate dungeon to temporarily place trap victims in somewhere around this castle."

We start to carry Gezzono. Gazzene quickly notices something when she tries to lift him up.

"... So that's why Gezzono was captured so easily. His right hand's cut off, so he couldn't cast."

My mistake. I meant left.

>>61810
Yeah, there's no doors leading to the unlabeled room. Stands to reason that it's the Secret Weapon Storage room, and you get to it through the Armory.

I take a quick glance around the wide place. A big battle surely happened here earlier. I have a feeling it's the work of Gazzene's group.

We go to the door. It's locked with a weird mechanism that keeps the door from being opened. It has five small slots on it.

The reading below reads: "Green, Red, Blue, Green, Red. These ar' da code to open da Arm'ry."

Hm.

Either we need to fiddle with the mechanism, or else find some kind of colored items that can be put in those slots there.

Can we fiddle with the mechanism, even? Otherwise I guess we'll have to go try the other blocked area (as the King's Room is probably not an option at this point).

The slots seem to be able to contain small items like stones. The door seems to be sturdy as well.

We're going to the infirmary, then. Looking at the map, it seems like Gazzene's group busted their way open from that room.

Ask Gazzene if she's alright, Replace CRAPPY BOW with NOT CRAPPY BOW,

If you need an armor, it looks like there's one in the back there.

And seconding the idea of picking up a sturdier bow, if it's still comfortable for you to use.

>>61864
Oh that door to the right is the entrance. That door behind the floodgate however...

Okay, it looks like the leather armor on the rack in the back may fit you. The helmet, too. Go ahead and replace the bow if you think it's better. You might have to practice a little to get used to the new draw though.

Gazzene and that pretty tiara stone should be able to figure out some equipment choices on their own. I wonder if anyone needs the chain mail? Our dorf buddy might be able to use it.

Gazzene insists that we let the Dorfs stay by the front. Considering that the other Dorfs were attacking both groups like a criminal, she explains that there could be a chance that we get mobbed by the people outside.

> Floodgate

What floodgate? All I see are boxes. Really BIG ones.

Gazzene tries to use her magic to destroy the boxes, but it fails. Gezzono notes us that some of the rooms in the castle are protected by anti-magic wards to fend off intruders that uses magic.

>>61933

I dunno, somebody said it was a floodgate. But yeah, I guess it wouldn't make sense to just randomly have a floodgate over in the corner of a room.

So can the three of us move that box, or will we need to go try to get to that other blocked-off place that wasn't the King's Room?

OR MAYBE SOMETHING ELSE I DON'T KNOW BUT USUALLY MY POSTS END WITH SOME SORT OF MITIGATING STATEMENT LIKE THAT

>>61933
Oh, that's a box? Floodgates usually have that X on them.

If all 3 of you can't shift the boxes, try using that sword as a lever. The boxes just need to be moved far enough so you can get through the door.

Or... maybe we should just go find Sanya and bring her back here to help move them.

I am very suspicious of these circumstances. In fact, she looks too short to be Sanya. From her position on the stairs, she should be sticking up a lot higher. Also, the angle of visibility was wrong when you were looking through the door.

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.

Being the last to know about Dezzono's death must be painful for Gezzono to know. I approach him.

"Whyyyyy... Why do I aaaaalways screw up..."

What should I say?

>>64165
Because you're the comedy relief.

Don't actually say that.
Just give him a shoulder, preferably on the non-tentacles side.

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..."

"Well then, whereeeeeeeeeee's Sanya?"

Ooops. We forgot to mention that to him, did we? Should I lie about it?

>>64220
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.

That can't be normal.

Gazzene should be at the Infirmary, since she told me earlier she'd be there.

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.
Hopefully Gezzono can quickly learn how to control his rape-tentacles. And again, is that normal?

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.

Taking them nonlethally will be a challenge...
Maybe if we can get Sanya to nose Gazz, it'll overwrite the effect?
Look around for anything glowing purple, anyway.

>>64792

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.

Hope Sanya doesn't mindcrush your head like a grape.

There's a strange creature sitting on the throne with someone that looks like a luxurious Dorf. He has the same tranced look on his face.

The strange creature sees us. "HAHA, WELCOME!"

Well they're probably gonna want us to come inside. Whisper to Gezzono to be ready to attack the guy on the throne first.

I mean, really. A peels bomb is ultra effective against anything.

Okay...

Tell Gezzono to distract them, take off your helmet and run in to get the crystal. If anyone attempts to stop you with their hands, stab them with the horns on the helmet and prepare to use it as a shield for any other attempted assaults.

... He seems to be waiting for my move, even though I'm already aiming my weapon at him. Is he mocking me?!

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.

So. You can't kill Yelims while he can see you attacking him... I see no other option save getting someone else to help you, and all your allies are either occupied, mind controlled, or dead.

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.

Maybe not aim at the gem, then. Try telling Yelims he can't keep this up without dying, and if he wants to live, he should let Sanya, Gazzene, and the dorf King go.

Alternatively, keep trying to kill the son of a bitch.
