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? ![]() ![]() However, the first house we entered by the little boy was quite full of plot: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 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! ![]() ![]() ![]() Yadda Yadda yadda, to think that this village can't get by without Tits, blah blah blah ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 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. ![]() Oh, so that's why they're called lighthouses. They make light and make me forget to hit the screencap button. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And then she bolted right out the door. ☺: Ack! ![]() 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. ![]() 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. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ☺: 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. ![]() ![]() Thanks Thadius. ![]() Yeah yeah, sure sure, plot thattaway, where do you keep the rest of your valuables? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() How could someone leave fine TITS! alone? ![]() ![]() ![]() 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. ![]() Lord, what profanities this child speaks in your Sanctum! ![]() ![]() Now, for the loot list. ![]() ![]() Some Clever iceskating gets me a vial: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And Clever use of Mr. Frosty gets me into that cave. ![]() And to this Djinni. ![]() ![]() How pleasantly warm! ![]() The white, powdery slopes and quaint, cozy mountain cottages? ![]() 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?

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...

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.

Not bad.

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. |

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.

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. ![]() 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. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ☺: Lad, thank ye, but I'm not that frostbitten in the ear. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We certainly could use some rejuvenation but-- ![]() 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. ![]() 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... ![]() 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! ![]() ☺: I didn't see it but I know he did it. Creepy stuff this. Almost as bad as meowing books of economics -almost. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some of us call it Roy coming out of Grant's Ear, but yeah. That is what we calll our power. What do you call yours? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 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. ![]() This smells even stronger of the Jerks....but an easy obstacle. I show now awe her with my ability to get past this oaf! ![]() To the left! ![]() To the right! ![]() KICK HIS ASS. ![]() ![]() ![]() Yeah...two hits. That's all it took. I didn't even need to get Vorpal on their asses. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ☺: Don't worry little man, I'll sew you up right! Just after I get me some more rum. I do my best taxidermy when I'm in my cups. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 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?

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. |

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.
