So, okay:
My parents, y'see, are divorced. My dad lives in another town and when he comes to visit, I usually have to stick with him, which means I have no computer use at all, except at night but then I'm supposed to be sleeping, right? So yeah. I won't be updating for a week or so. Maybe. Edit: UPDATE COMING LATER, WILL POST A NEW POST TO BUMP INTO NEW PAGE. Last edited by Ryong; 01-02-2009 at 08:11 AM. |

Into the dwarf's tunnel we go, to find Watts.
![]() ![]() Aaaand in the very first screen we find a new enemy: the Slime. They're complete pushovers but that can ( and chances are pretty good ) poison with normal attacks. I think it has an ability but they never survived long enough to use any. ![]() Barks: Look! Watts! Lise: How can you be so sure? All the dwarves look alike. Barks: ...True. Hawk: Okay, even if it isn't Watts, how do we get there? Lise: Good question. ![]() I believe this is how. ![]() Barks: No way! ![]() Barks: No deal! Watts: Fine, you're not getting it then! Barks: ![]() Lise: Watts, could you wait for a minute or two? Thanks. Hey Barks, Hawk, c'mere a bit. *whispering* Lise: We could beat him up for the gunpowder. Barks: No! Watts innocent! Hawk: I could steal it, it'd be easier. Barks: No stealing either! We good! Maybe we can help him and he give us gunpowder! Lise: You're no fun. ![]() Someone's awfully afraid of earthquakes, for a dwarf. ![]() Barks: Gnome? WE NEED HIM! WHERE YOU SEE GNOME? Watts: Follow me! ![]() The little fucker is fast. ![]() And here we find a Molebear. It's that blue spinning thing. It doesn't look like a bear, nor a mole, as you can see. It's more of a yellow hedgehog with blue spikes. It curls into a ball and spins a lot. They're not hard, but eventually start to get a good deal of defense, if I'm not wrong. ![]() Remember that? We came into the cave through those stairs. ![]() Another place with random bars. It's weird. ![]() Barks: I swear, I hate arrows! ![]() Hey, a save statue that we can't reach! ![]() ![]() This picture is great. Stupid sleeping goblin. ![]() Anyway, see the recolor of the normal goblin? Yeah, that's a Goblin Lord. They're a bit stronger and I think they can buff or debuff, but I'm not entirely sure. ![]() Barks: ARGH! Hawk: You know, I could jump over there. Lise: Do it, then? *Hawk tries to jump over* Hawk: Weird. It seems I can't. Like there's some invisible barrier in here. Barks: Barks ask Faerie for help. Faerie: I dunno. This barrier isn't magical. It seems different. Sorry, I can't get rid of it. ![]() I seriously suck at this roulette thing. ![]() Barks: Angry chest better than arrows! ![]() The stairs, again. We're going deeper. ![]() Lise: Oh you're kidding me. They're asking to die. Hawk: Truly. ![]() Hey! The save statue! We can get to it! ![]() Barks: So, can't go down either? Faerie: Nope. ![]() Barks: *howl* ![]() Hawk: Barks, weren't you scared of using your werewolf form? Barks: Werewolf part of me. Barks scared, yes, but try to face fear. Maybe werewolf help fight. Hawk: But weren't you trying to calm it? Barks: Wolf in cage get mad. Wolf in field get happy. Can't lock wolf. Lise: Whatever you say, wolf-boy. ![]() *roar* ![]() *ROAR* ![]() IT SHALL EAT ALL YOUR MONIES. ![]() That is the Jewel Eater. It's a big mole. It eats jewels, yes. It attacks with its claws and, every once in a while, spits something at people, doing damage and lowering their defense... ![]() Like so. It sometimes goes ahead covers up its face so it can't get damaged... ![]() And usually counterattacks with something. ![]() Most likely, Diamond Missile. It also has an attack... ![]() called Power Punch. It deals 40-60 or so damage to everyone and, as you can see, causes it to switch sides. ![]() Once it gets weak, it casts Defense Up at itself... ![]() And Speed Down at one of the party members. ![]() Really loves to use Diamond Missile, I gotta tell ya. Overall, it's not really strong, but it has great defense. It also has one attack which I couldn't get the name of, which involves rocks falling everywhere, though no one died. It does it when it's going to die, too. ![]() That'd be it. ![]() And then he starts walking into the middle of the place... ![]() And promptly explodes. ![]() Into fireworks. Seriously. ![]() Lise: Oh you cowardly, overpricing bastard, I'm going to stick my spear up your- Hawk: Lise! Barks: Remember my idea? We help Watts, we get gunpowder! Lise: ...Damnit. ![]() ![]() Truly. We're all going to die. ![]() Whoo! ![]() I should mention, he doesn't stop jumping. ![]() I guess it's to show how dandy he is. ![]() Hawk: But you're the personification of Earth magic. How do you sleep? Gnome: Magic. Hawk: That's the worst explanation I've ever seen. ![]() It'd turn into JEWEL EATER MAXIMUM and would cast MULTI-TARGETTING STONE CLOUD if it did. It'd be a really hard fight. ![]() And thanks to this, there's probably some Gnome/Faerie fic somewhere in the internets. ![]() She nearly begs. ![]() He accepts, obviously. ![]() Woot! Not that anyone can use magic yet, anyway! ![]() Hawk: Yeah. Suck it. ![]() Barks: THE PLAN! IT WORKS! ![]() Barks: Lise, Lise: Fine, he deserves it. Sorry for threatening you earlier, Watts. Watts: It's okay! I didn't like you either, unbearded woman! Lise: Oh you little- ![]() Lise: ARGH! I hate that bastard! We're never going there again! ![]() A short walk later and the party arrives at Maia. ![]() Everyone: Oh no you didn't forget. ![]() Everyone: That's better. ![]() Hawk: Is it me, or the name keeps changing? Barks: Barks think it does, too. ![]() Lise: You've tested this thing, right? Bon Voyage: *shove* MAYBE! ![]() Bon Voyage: AWAY YOU GO! ![]() Whoa. ![]() Hawk: Isn't that Forcena!? WE'RE NOT LANDING THERE! Lise: GODDAMNIT, THE BASTARD DIDN'T AIM! Barks: Hope we land okay... And that's it for today. Last edited by Ryong; 01-02-2009 at 12:00 PM. |

If doing those boxes roulettes seems not-so-easy you could always let Hawk open them as he has the highest luck. There will be more oks if the opener has higher luck than somebody who isn't as lucky.
And why does Jewel eater use diamond missiles to others? Shouldn't it instead eat them, not magically puke them? And I like the way you portray Lise. And and. |

Yeah, love how Lise follows the thought pattern of "when in doubt, use more violence"

Wait, is that the same Watts from Final Fantasy Adventure for the Game Boy that makes you some silver armor and then charges you for it after you save his ass from a giant Silver Megapede? Because I think it is.....

Watts is a recurring name throughout the Mana series. Along with the names of cities, elemental spirits, and the Godbeasts.

As Watts from Sword of Mana was the sweet guy who would upgrade your weapons (with price) I would say that FFA's Watts is the middle one of that family lineage. Sure some one could say that Watts and Watts from SoM and FFA could be same Watts but the other makes armor and the other makes weapons. Greedy asshole named Watts "gotta blow them up!" McDwarf, greedy bastard named Watts, good ol' Watts who you can see in different places in different times. Edit. This message was bring to you by a slow person who is as slow as mind of dwarf when he or she has taken too much ale. Last edited by Si Civa; 01-02-2009 at 03:40 PM. |

FFA => Mystic Quest, at least, here in the Netherlands. I love that game, pretty much knew where to go all the time, even in dungeons. It didn't have elemental spirits though, just Magic Book of ...
At least Watts (vendor iirc) was more useful as companion that, say, Bogart (bla-bla) or Lester (change music xP) |

There's also Children of Mana, where Watts was the "King of the Mines" or something like that. He did nothing at all but provide a bit of plot and such. Oh, and say "By Criffins!" a lot.
