Hey! A monday update! You all thought I couldn't do it but I did! Ahahahaha!
Chapter 38.
Now that we're back with our treasure-hunting buddy we can hunt for
COCKE treasure in the hard-to-find mountain city of Narshe.
Boy, I hope they'll be happy to see me around here. Since I'm saving their lives and all.
First things first: that sleep at the Inn that I wanted!
Cocke! Attack pattern alpha! Execute DOOR SMASH!
....Huh. No one here. Well that's a letdown.
Though I suppose the infinite bucket of healing water at the Adventurer's Club is better anyway.
Speaking of.... infinite... stuff... I should probably stock up on as many potions as I can carry too with my mounds of money.
....Crap.
And even the weapon shop's empty! Where am I to get my weapons of murder?
This whole town is empty and dead. It would be heartrending if it wasn't so damn monster-filled.
...Hey, I haven't seen this place before.
Oh man! Free wine!
I was gonna...
...oh. Sure, I'll take that too.
Why the hell would I want a cursed shield though?
Eunuch! The burden is yours!
....
Okay that's useless.
Problem mostly solved! He's just doomed to die. That's no biggie.
Maybe the townspeople are hiding out in the mines? Better check to make sure.
AWWWW ANOTHER DRAGON
An ice dragon! He freezes people sometimes, and then they can't move until you cast fire on them. That sucks.
Ice dragon is made of ice, though.
Yeah, I actually beat him before Eunuch's Doom even took effect. That's how awesome my party is.
Didn't even break a sweat.
...Wait, wasn't this area...?
Oh man! It's that random Esper!
Let's try to communicate with it.
I have a one-track mind.
"WE'RE STARFOX!"
Not like you had much choice, frankly.
It teaches Firaga, Blizzaga and Thundaga, which are all pretty nice.
And... it leaves a cliff behind. Not sure why, but let's check it out!
It's a pretty featureless dungeon so I won't bore you with the details. But suffice to say...
...there's a neat skull thing at the end!
Most skulls are made of bone.
Score!
...
"Oh, is this your sculpture? How unfortunate, it looks like someone took the magicite out of its eye. But I gotta say, it looks much better without it, don't you think?"
Diplomacy failed.
SLEUTH diplomacy, however...
Aww, poor guy can't take a beating.
Well, let's leave him and check out the inevitable treasure trove up these stairs!
Hey, this isn't a treasure trove!
Oh well, at least gravity saved me some time.
Before we leave, we should probably check over the town one more time. I mean, the people weren't hiding out in the mines... maybe there are hidden rooms or something?
AHA! Jackpot!
Oh, it's just the one guy.
Hey, magicite again! Score!
...
:fighter::fighter::fighter::fighter::fighter::figh ter:
Man, this isn't even a contest.
Cocke is a lucky bastard.
...
WAIT A SECOND!
The escape tunnel! OF COURSE they're hiding in there!
OPEN SESAME!
Oh man, it's gonna be so awesome when I find the people and SAVE THE DAY FOR REALS!
...You aren't a townspeople at all...
Sure you will. I'm certain you'll be a GREAT help.
And so he lives up to his namesake, a
verb of a forgotten age.
...The yeti?
...Eheheh... somewhere, yeah. I wonder where.
Because I've never seen him before, of course... Ever!
And even if someone hypothetically beat the tar out of him, he'd still be up to following orders, right?
I have a feeling we'll be needing this.
Now, let's go find that yeti again! I wonder what his name is?
*clears throat*
I said,
I WONDER WHAT HIS NAME IS?
And also, I wonder where we should go next after we
NAME the yeti?
