Before we start, I have a few things I'm going to apologize for in advance, because I'm Canadian and that's just how we roll. Some might not make sense immediately, but they will in the end.
1) Sorry that I'm technically updating on Saturday. I didn't plan the night all that well and didn't actually get started on the pictures until about 11:30pm Friday, so I'm behind schedule in that respect. At least there's no one who would actually stay up waiting excitedly for the next chapter... right?
2) Sorry that the auction house scene was disappointing. I didn't take enough screenshots, but didn't realize it until it was too late, so I kinda scrapped most of it.
3) Sorry I didn't exactly go back and take advice on the next action. Stuff actually happened EXACTLY as I lay it out, except for the obvious jokes. So while nobody suggested the actions that were taken, I think they worked out fine, and I'll try harder to make it work next time.
And GO!
~Chapter 32 commences now. ~
Team Action Force assemble!
Bitch, with her astounding good looks and boundless hatred that comes from a life of sexual slavery!
Eunuch, who makes up for his lack of manhood with brains, resourcefulness and a sense of humour that would kill the dead!
AHNULD, the strongest of them all, with martial arts inspired by TV's Dragonball Z (tm)!
Store,
the chick!
Together, they fight crime!
Team Action Force GO!
*cue awesome theme music*
*cut awesome theme music 5 seconds after takeoff*
Wait, what the fuck?
Good thing nobody's got a level that's a multiple of five. Okay, this is a big boss fight! Let's give it our all! Attack pattern alpha!
POW!
KABLAM!
BZZZT!
...
...He ran away...
Oh well, we win by default. And next time we'll beat him for sure, right Team?
Okay, where to?
...Next closest city for rest? Gotcha.
I hope it's Narshe. That place is neat.
...Shit.
There's no inn in Zozo... so I guess we'll have to use the next best thing.
Good as new.
May as well look around before we go, though. The apocalypse tends to change things in the world.
Hey, what the fuck? A rusty door!
"Hey. HEY. You there. What's up with the door upstairs? Why can't I get through? Do you at least have some rust remover or something?"
Everyone in this town is a douchebag.
Let's check the NEXT closest town and see if they have any rust remover. I will not let this plot thread go without a fight.
Rich people tend to hate rust, right?
Let's ask around.
Children asking Santa for christmas presents? I dunno. You are no help.
Everything everyone says in this town is fucking useless and not related at all to rust remover.
NOW you're speaking my language!
...Bollocks.
Oh well, may as well check out that neat painting the guy mentioned.
...It's dark. In a mansion. And the door was unlocked.
Team Action Force, commence operation Steal Shit From Rich People!
...Okay.
Mission aborted due to spooky ghosts. Commence running in fear.
But first we're going to read that book on the table.
Oh? Maybe it will have a solution to our ghost problem?
Page 1.
Paintings? Spooooky!
Page 2.
...Sub-par paintings? Spoooooky... kinda.
Page 3.
Okay this diary is bullshit.
Flipping ahead a bit...
Page 7.
Paydirt!
Well gang, we've got a mystery to solve!
First things first:
Oh man! That is so cool!
That's enough. TO THE CELLAR!
Eh... paintings. Nothing special about the-
GAH OH GAWD THE PAINTINGS ARE ALIVE
...Geez. Okay, we've got a bona-fide haunting here in this crazy mansion. Don't cross the streams, Team Action Force.
More paintings... why the hell would someone paint a chair?
...A magnetic chair!! It's a trap!
Not necessarily a threatening trap though.
"Get out of my magnet chair, you dang kids!"
Fucking weird house, man.
Okay, some doors... I'm gonna go with Door #3.
...WHAT THE FUCK. This is a STUPID ASS HOUSE.
And WHY THE FUCK IS THERE A DOOR UP THERE?! It's like the Forest Temple all over again!
...
...Guys. Watch out for wallmasters. They will ruin your shit.
And now floating treasure chests? This Owzer guy must be as eccentric as hell. Now I've seen everything.
"Han, mah bukee, keel-ee caleya ku kah. Wanta dah moole-rah? Wonkee chee sa crispa con Greedo?"
I guess I was wrong. Owzer is really Jabba the Hutt in disguise.
And what Jabba would be complete without Princess Loli as a slave girl? *coughJailbaitcough*
Alright! We just have to kill Jabba, and Loli will be free.
...Help the painting?
Oh, please. No monster would have THAT much time on its hands.
...Everyone is a fucking pedophile.
Have at thee, foul beast!
KAMEHAMEHA!
...
Note to self: avoid using attacks that enemies absorb in the future.
...Wait, something weird is going on. The hot naked chick is really...
...A NECRON PARIAH! That is SO not hot!
Luckily, I know the Pariah's weakness.
KAMEHAMEHA!
That'll teach you to take your inspiration from Ikaruga.
Okay, so maybe we came out of that a little worse for wear, but it was still an easy fight.
That's one less creepy paedo in the world. Mission accomplished!
That's because you can't do anything with your life due to your immense girth, and the picture is hot and secluded.
So you're a fat pervert AND you use child labour? What kind of sick monster are you?!
This sounds like an interesting stone.
"Oh, sorry, I can't find the stone you were talking about. You must have misplaced it."
Operation Steal From Rich People was a success!
:brow:
Guys. Let's lock the door behind us and throw the key in the ocean. It would be a mercy.
Well, we stole from a sick bastard, we found a new party member, and we killed a creepy ghost! All in a day's work.
And now for that sleep...
...What?
WHAT?!
AHAHAHA! Deathgaze, you motherfucker! Prepare to die slowly and painfully over the course of like 5 battles!
~~
And yes, I really did run into Deathgaze 5 seconds after takeoff. It angered me so. But at least I beat him hard enough that he ran.
Feel free to continue with suggestions for what to do next, or for party configurations.
