Let's Play Golden Sun: Where the Sun Don't Shine

[PyrosNine]

Episode 6, Part 2: The mysterious, alluring power of....
(after this, I'm not spending nearly as much time in towns, unless there's a name related gag to milk for all it's worth.)

It had been a rough haul to Imil, but Shota had gotten much stronger from it, and we'd even finally gotten around to getting that fourth party member on the way.

Ladies, Gentlemen and Shotas, allow me to introduce to you our newest meatshield, the NobleDwarf Pyros.

☺

He looks nothing like a dwarf, but we look nothing like elves, so we're more than happy to allow an Ascii character of a face to join our merry band of wandering weirdos. At least, we think he'll join us. Right about now, he seems to mumble on about working ill, and passing out on account of grievous full body frostbitten wounds... We can't seem to find one of his legs...and he's drinking our lamp oil like it was grape juice....I'm sure he'll be back to 100% once we get to the town Inn!

Imil was just about as hospitable as the ground surrounding it, covered in snow and ice. Not to many people running around outside either.

There was a good reason for it though:

Oh. So it's -30 out here, and everyone's catching Cold? Cute. Well, whatever the trivial and expected plight of this new town was, Detective Shota was immediately on the case, starting with touching local children.

Our Cluehound could pick up their warm trail, even in this frozen hell. The Jerks were close, tastefully close. We had seen the lighthouse in the distance, but they could just as well be still in the town, and at any rate we needed mending before doing anything.

☺: There...Inn?

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Isaac2.gif: No worries your highness, We'll get you to an Inn ASAP...

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Garet2.gif: By which he means an hour after he robs this snowblasted town blind.

However, the first house we entered by the little boy was quite full of plot:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_74.png

Well, now we know how many angels can dance on the head of a dying old man...but I'm sure you know what this means.

To think that Tits could have such a revitalizing power on old men!

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_81.pnghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_82.pnghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_83.png

Yadda Yadda yadda, to think that this village can't get by without Tits, blah blah blah

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_84.pnghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_85.pnghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_86.png

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Isaac2.gif: Uhh, yeah, we've just come in, and quite frankly are missing body parts and-uh oh I think we left the dwarf outside.

Before I could bring his regal dwarfness inside, a bright flashing light poured in from the windows, a bright flashing light so bright that it ruined the film on my camera and so I don't have a screen cap of it.

I know, it must have been really, really, bright and therefore forgiveable.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_87.png

Oh, so that's why they're called lighthouses. They make light and make me forget to hit the screencap button.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_88.pnghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_89.pnghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_91.pnghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_92.png

And then she bolted right out the door.

☺: Ack!

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Mia.gif: Sorry!

Well, I'll admit there was something awfully familiar about that blue haired, psynergy using girl who said cryptic words and then disappeared mysteriously, but that chest in the upper lefthand corner was driving me crazy, just lying there, unopened.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_93.png

It was just some money though, and my camera was too injured from that light to record how much. But the next, much more important treasure was captured on film.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_94.pnghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_95.pnghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_96.png

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Isaac2.gif: Nothing like some hot porridge to heal the body and spirit, huh guys?

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Garet2.gif: I'm an oatmeal man myself.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Ivan.gif: Can it reattach my arm? It fell off again.

☺: Nah, ya need my mother's famous tuber stew for that, steaming hot out of the pot, perfect for the dwarven warrior missing a few limbs after beating a goblin to death with a backpack and braving the fabled elephants of-*knurd*. BOooze. Need Boooze.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Isaac2.gif: I don't have the heart to tell him this is a strictly straight-edge adventuring party.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_98.png

Thanks Thadius.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_99.png

Yeah yeah, sure sure, plot thattaway, where do you keep the rest of your valuables?

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_100.pnghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_101.pnghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_102.pnghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_103.png

How could someone leave fine TITS! alone?

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_104.pnghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_105.pnghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_106.png
Behold the ice, better known as zero friction solid dihydrogen-monoxide, which translates and amplifies the lateral motion of any object placed on it's mirror like surface, making it incapable of stopping or changing direction until it hits an unmoveable object or the ice ends. If one were to tie chains to four rocks, and attach the other ends to a wheell, wait for winter and properly redirect the rocks at the corners...one would possess a perpetual motion machine all winter long.

But enough scientific ponderings, I've got graves to rob.

And Clever use of Mr. Frosty gets me into that cave.

How pleasantly warm!

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_119.png
The white, powdery slopes and quaint, cozy mountain cottages?

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_120.png
Well, drat. missed them!

No shopping, the item, weapon, and armor shop owners are down with H1N1, aren't getting up anytime soon. And they locked their inventory up cunningly. Well played Monsieurs Armmakers. Well played.

Well, we'd go further, but I'm afraid the party is in sore need of a rest, Mr. Pyros has just gone into a strange mood, stole some hops, a pot, and a barrel and locked himself inside the Inn's kitchen, and everyone's getting tired of all the TITS! jokes.

...Okay, a few more.

Is there a reason you create new threads instead of continuing to use the existing ones?

[Thadius]

He's trying to off-set our one incredibly long thread that has a high ratio of inanity to content. He creates a few short-lived threads that have a high ratio of content to inanity, and then goes off to the next one.

Oh, and you're totally welcome Pyros. But...

I find myself hungering for more update...

[PyrosNine]

The bigger reason was that I had like, 3 or 4 updates when the thread was almost dead, right after another, making the page load pretty bad with all those myriad pictures, and I'd like to have a page between each update. Furthermore I was afraid the earlier was dead in the water and soon to be closed on account of being inactive for three months.

Granted, I originally started a new thread after the first Golden Sun thread to disassociate this from being Thadius's work, but if it's not such a good idea, I'll try to avoid needless Prince of Persia-esque sheddings.

If you wanted to, of course, this post could easily just be appended to the last thread. Sorry for being messy.

I can easily whip up another update for you Thad, as I managed to build up quite a buffer of pictures before Final Exams and Christmas break, and I have pics well up into the Tower. I can also probably get a video of my ascent up the tower and the boss, too.

[CABAL49]

I like TITS!. TITS! is the kind of character I can get behind and support. You guys should give TITS! a helping hand too. We all know an unsupported TITS! is a bad thing. I'll stop before I become a leper here.

Good job though. This was helpful in a early morning.

[Thadius]

This is a finely crafted Let's Play. All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is made of Gold and encircled with bands of Updates. It menaces with spikes of Humor. Engraved in the Gold is an image of the sun. The sun is shining. Engraved in the Gold is an image of Pyros. Engraved in the gold is an image of humans. The humans are bowing to Pyros. This refers to Pyros being f*&@ing awesome.

[PyrosNine]

Oh man, making the video of the Lighthouses's ascension has hit a few snags:
My laptop can't handle recording and playing (left my PC at Home home, not campus home) and most free campus computers befuddle my efforts. Will try again tomorrow, on lovely computers designed specifically for recording on a computer.

In the meantime:

Episode 6 part 3,sub- part 1/2

We finally set off for the Lighthouse of Imil, which had begun to set off intermittent flashes. They didn't come from the top of tower however, and seemed to pop up on various levels of it's midsection- and even though we were still a great distance away...I could almost smell the Psynergy.

We never got as much medical care as we all would have liked during our stay, but with our prey so close within our grasp, and so close to fulfilling their dreaded purpose, we could only make due with Pyros's self-proclaimed surgerydwarf skills. We're still not sure he's a dwarf, and or even a surgerydwarf, but he was certainly a guy who can sew, and aside from a few errant stitches, we're all good as new!

...At least that's what I keep telling myself as I cast Cure on them and pray fervently.

At the foot of the great tower, we were in awe at it's majestic size, (picture not up to scale) located here on almost an island, at the very edge of the world.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_141.png
In all honesty, we couldn't go anywhere further north if we TRIED. I'd lay stakes down or a flag to show our accomplishment, but having a town three miles off makes it seem less cool.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Ivan.gif: The townspeople wouldn't shut up about it. With their brains.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Isaac2.gif: Well...well, I was just saying it for Mr. Pyros's sake.

☺: Lad, thank ye, but I'm not that frostbitten in the ear.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Isaac2.gif: Oh...just checking.

We certainly could use some rejuvenation but--

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_145.png
Just not our day. In the meantime, I will just take this as yet another evil work of WHY? to put us down.

That mysterious blue haired chick was here.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_147.png
Well, there's you, and then there's us...

Somebody, or Someone? Make up your mind!

Yes creepy girl, I do hear the Sonic X themesong. I thought I was the only one!

Huh...this Alex...he sounds familiar...and these statues look also familiar...

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_152.png
And me pushing them away with the power of my MIND is even MORE familiar...

NO! I did nothing and you can't prove anything!

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Garet2.gif: He totally did it.
☺: I didn't see it but I know he did it. Creepy stuff this. Almost as bad as meowing books of economics -almost.

Your ancestors probably forgot to excersise it on beating the crap out of local wildlife, because my Cure's still alive and kicking right now.

Man those angels...dance on the head of a pin, cure a man from death, and open mystical doors.... Then she ran inside. I knew I had to follow her, because I was beginning to put the pieces together.

She didn't get far though, as some ugly brute was playing the Mirror game and not letting her through.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/EP6/goldensun_172.png

This smells even stronger of the Jerks....but an easy obstacle. I show now awe her with my ability to get past this oaf!

Yeah...two hits. That's all it took. I didn't even need to get Vorpal on their asses.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Garet2.gif: Yeah, but TITS! ran ahead while we were fighting.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Isaac2.gif: Crap! After her men, because with my brilliant deductions I have found out that-

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Ivan.gif: Alex, a member of the other party, is her fellow member of the Mercury tribe and likely has let the other party into this tower.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Isaac2.gif....You....how...why would you ruin my moment like that.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Ivan.gif: Elementary my dear Fred. I knew it since we were in town. I'm surprised it took you this long to-

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Isaac2.gif: Alright, but next time your arms fall off, I'm not Cure Well'n your little ass!

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/PyrosNine/Lets%20play/GS/faces/Ivan.gif: That's mean! Just because you're dense doesn't mean you can't heal men!

What the crap does that mean?

* * *

On another note, the boss of this particular dungeon CURBSTOMPED ME. I defeated the lizard easily as you saw, but most every other creature was ludicrously strong and there are two "special encounters" on this tower, both of which would probably be an appropriate full-boss at my level, and the boss here is three times as strong as they are, even if I have a full party.

So the viewer participation question:
Should I do some off camera grinding, then record the video, or should I record my trip up the tower, and record a separate vid for the boss with a few levels under my character's respective belts?

[CABAL49]

Some of us call it Roy coming out of Grant's Ear

Just in case some of you forgot (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/04/25/episode-020-the-quest-to-assault-the-elderly-continues/)

[Ravashak]

What level's everyone at once you draft her?
If you're having trouble, maybe switch the Djinni up a bit. For my last game, giving Fred water, Beef wind, Shota earth and TITS fire worked pretty well (and I think it gave me three healers, combined with the Mercury Lighthouse's buffing her, I could just outlast things).

For vids, I prefer the ascent of the tower and a vid of the boss over a training montage.

[Satan's Onion]

Well, I for one am all right with the first option: grinding off-camera before you record. Of course, it's mainly a matter of whatever's easiest for you.

[PyrosNine]

Still not strong enough to face the boss, as Beef took a beating. I"ll put up some annotations in a few, but in the mean time enjoy some music and the Imac movie suite BUTCHERING my hard recorded work. I mean, I had to record the uncompressed frames, I realize I'm going to have to somehow find a way to record the game music separately because there is a bug in VBA that ignores sound during "loading' screens, or in this case room transitions, so there are seconds erased from the sound track that once recompiled into a an .AVI create the lag, and finding a way to convert those compressed frames to something editable and playable was another hassle, and finally IMACS are not cat friendly for a forumite who is well known to be a cat clawing keyboards with precision.

I-Movie kept chopping up my vids no matter what I did, and bled them out for some reason, but It does sorta add to the effect when you're listening to say...Ghost's Lullaby.

The dungeon itself is pretty easy...but the monsters are hard, and my running through masks this fact, as I don't meet that many encounters, yet those birds kill Beef pretty quick. I may redo things to get there without dying, as Beef dead at that point means I have to waste one of my two waters of life, but that is best saved for off camera fun. Now...Pyros sleep and hope he's not kidnapped by the library cleaning people while he sleeps. Maybe can make it home before critical fatigue but....I have labored hard and late for these videos, despite their lackluster quality.

I feel focus firing would've prevented Beef going down. Since there's no reward for killing multiple enemies in the same turn (that I know of), you might as well let Fred, Beef and Shota kill one each turn, reducing the incoming damage. Meanwhile, TITS! can just stick to casting Ply each turn as needed.

[PyrosNine]

Ah yeah, but I was all like. "I'm near the end! NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW! FULL POWAH!" and Beef paid for my Hubris!

I will try to do your tips though, with the Djinni and Focus Firing. I have to figure out how to do the Djinni swap since I can only "give" Djinni now that each Psynergist can have two of them.

I'm sure you guys did at least see the tried and true Boss Method though:
Set all Djinni, which lets me summon them all on the first turn. This boosts the power of my psynergy for the next turn, whereupon I nuke with my strongest spells. Then, as my Djinni recover in the following turns, I use them to re-Set all of them for summoning, making an endless chain of asskicking. It's foolproof, but future bosses have a defense against it specifically.

All songs used are free for download at OC Remix, by the way, if anybody like'd em. Not enough Water based rock songs for my liking.

To benefit from this, you need over two of all Djinni type to get the first class change, shouldn't be too long after the Lighthouse, though.

It's foolproof, but future bosses have a defense against it specifically.While this is certainly an option to fight, spamming the summons. I worked like this too at first, some of the (de)buffs the Djinni give are pretty nice. Do note that this actually weakens your characters quite a bit, especially once you get class changes due to how you distributed the Djinni. In my last playthrough, I only used the Djinni as stat boosts, which gave me plenty of healing power if needed (two chars with the Venus Cure line and Revive, one char with the Mercury Ply and Wish lines). I could easily just outlast everything they threw at me.

[PyrosNine]

Dammit Saturos, not only was he a bastard that i had to grind for, but the very process of recording him both messed up my saves, required a butchering of the video, and somehow brought down Viddler from letting me use the full vid.

Here is me kicking his ass. (http://www.viddler.com/explore/PyrosNine/videos/2/)

As the first part of this was cut out, allow me to give you an abbreviated synopsis.

Menardi: Ah! These heights are making me so hot! Even if I'm a flame psynergist, I can't help but let this northern air, at a 1000 feet up, cool down my exposed, sexual body.

Why!?: Cease your voicebox, harlot, for I am in the midst of completing my master plan of destroying Weyard! Forsooth! I see my nemesis, the great and fearsome Fred, and his band of heroes, have come to foil my plot! What am I to do? They are so much more powerful than I, a level 5 earth swordsman who still wets his bed, and I will surely be thrashed!

OMNOM: I have plot relevant details that would resolve everything, but I won't say them because then there wouldn't be a sequel!

Kraden: I'm old and incontinent!

Saturos: Ah ha, it is I, the one winged angel of this shit, here to fight you, because I wasn't here earlier because I was using the giant glowing ball that you can see under, to hide behind and take care of my business and answer the age old question: If you pee off a tower in the frozen north, will it freeze on the way down? I submit to you that yes, yes it does.

But now we must KUNG FU FIGHT! With SWORDS! AND satellite fired laser swords!

Me: It looks like it's time for you to...Chill. *puts on sunglasses*

OH YEEAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

[PyrosNine]

Well, with Saturos defeated and fleeing for his life, our party set off for our next adventure after Shota died again. But he was upright walking within minutes with...THIS!

Yeah, this spring filled up right after the Lighthouse got lit, filling the world with surely evil, hateful psynergy, but on the bright side it's also stealing the lifewaters of the world, giving us a fountain of youth, health, and I have to admit it, dental hygiene.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4241108/Let%27s%20Play/goldensun_01.png

That village sickness was cured aplenty thanks to the villager's access to this miracle water, but strangely most of the townsfolk were up and walking before they'd even gotten drops of Jupiter in their hair, hey he~y.

This also meant, that they were no longer as reliant upon TITS! as they were before, resulting in us getting a trueblue party member. However, the townspeople were not too glad to be without their favorite blue haired booby, err, I mean beauty.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4241108/Let%27s%20Play/goldensun_15.pnghttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/4241108/Let%27s%20Play/goldensun_16.pnghttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/4241108/Let%27s%20Play/goldensun_17.png

Tits also left her traditional duties as a spiritual leader to a little boy and girl with normal names.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4241108/Let%27s%20Play/goldensun_51.png

Yep, we left that frozen village in the midst of a blasted icy hell, a better frozen village amidst a blasted icy hell.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4241108/Let%27s%20Play/goldensun_53.png

But then we left, and we never looked back. TITS! may have, but the only time we ever bothered not looking south was to look at TITS, which has always been a pleasant eyefull.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4241108/Let%27s%20Play/goldensun_55.png

We begin our adventures back in ManintoPlantistan, which was the only direction left to go, and once TITS! heard about it she couldn't be convinced that leaving cursed tree villages well enough alone was a good plan for any budding adventuring parties.

if you can recall, the real McCoy set up a road block here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4241108/Let%27s%20Play/GSEP7/goldensun_01.png, because after his wife whipped him into mowing down Kolima forest in order to build a better monument to his wealth, and then shit got real.

Why? (Not the person, the question) Well, the lumberjacks started on Kolima, and one lumberjackoff messed up big time. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25HsesFNyPw)

On the downside, this means we adventuring types have to risk being rooted to the ground, having no mouth and unable to scream for however long trees live.

On the upside, if we survive we get a cool $120,000! Though we'll probably get a reduction thanks to Mister CreepyShota McBleedy over here.

Apparently this was built in a bit of a rush, and I can't say I blame them. Actually I can't blame them, as I need to get through and ohmygodmorewoodenpeople.

Back on the path, we had a short bit of walking before the next town. We took a brief detour to a strip of land surrounded by a lake, where Shota's creepy child intuition found us some freaking useless boots. They make you feel pretty sturdy, but they weigh a metric ton. Thanks but no thanks. Their previous owner probably buried them here just so he didn't have to carry them anymore.

Since I was still navigating, I knew clearest direction to go to (not) deal with creepy tree curses.

fffffffFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU-

Yeah so we went to Kolima. It seemed a bit safer than the friggin forest where the whole mess started, and a good place to check for clues.

Did they say this was Kolima, or Kokiri Village?

Thanks for stating the obvious guys. As we all know, it all begins when dumb teenagers state the obvious, and then the evil tree spirit shows up and kills all the hot ones first, meaning TITS. Man am I glad to have brought her along then, because when it comes to me, Beef, and Shota, I got it goin' on.

Also, none of these trees are wearing clothes.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4241108/Let%27s%20Play/GSEP7/goldensun_24.png
Yes, clearly, Why? must be behind this evil, despicable act of turning people into trees. He is an Earth element, and therefore must have obtained a fire djinni and learned EVIL TRANSMUTATIONAL GROWTH. You guys all told me I shouldn't murder him the next time I see him, just "ask him what's going on", but no, I am so murdering that guy so I can prevent further atrocities.

No I am NOT angry about being tricked on top of the lighthouse. I just think you should have let me Sparta-kick Saturos off the lighthouse and...oh well.

Sure I do. If he can't turn us into trees like I feared, then there' absolutely nothing stopping us from BURNING HIM TO THE GROUND.

But I didn't tell them that. I just lied and said a few things about that magic water being able to revive trees and some such that is unbelievable, and probably impossible.

There were slim pickings in this town, especially since Beef and TITS disapproved of me rifling through the tree people's stores, and the shopkeepers have some ingenious method of hiding their salestock.

However, there were a few things of interest.

A djinni to catch, and this mother is an earth djinni. Unfortunately, he is cleverly fenced in by the locals behind a waist high fence, which everyone knows is insurmountable, and indestructable. It's closed off even to the house it's attached to, and the only clue is that pit, a pit that has no match throughout the rest of the town. The home is empty, save for trees which think thoughts about a secret treasure.

Fortunately, unlike some, I view things from a first person perspective, which really makes all the difference.

A ha! SECRET! Though not so secret when you realize his neighbor to the north sees the 'secret' entrance everytime he steps out in the morning. In fact, considering the placement of the house, I'd say this should have been the front door. Crazy people living in trees. Forestia, Kokiri, crazy crazy crazy.

Welp, there's a tunnel filled with enemies that leads me to the Djinni.

The Djinni joined without a fight, obviously in awe of my sheer Venus power, and totally not because it was fond of TITS!.

With that, the village of Kolima was pretty devoid of anything useful, as I can't shop or even stay the night at the inn. I don't see why not, but I guess common courtesy is the law of the land. That, and every waking moment for them is likely a hellish wooden torment, being unable to move or speak, and obtaining nutrients through their feet.

And what happens when termites descend?

Ah well, best get a move on to the forest, so we can end this tree based madness, and get that sweet $120,000.

I've always wanted to burn Trent to the ground. He is such a jerk.

No one start reading up the Legends for King Pyros just yet, but you'll all have to manually add "got turned into tree" to his exploits.

Trent also deserves to be set aflame, because it's a proven cure for parasites and mental illness.

Just like how they dealt with all those crazies at the Shalebridge Cradle. Pity about the orphans, but at least two got out okay....somewhat.
