glad to hear.

boomerang and sizz combo is handling these Drackymages for now just fine, no need to learn anything or make anything. ditto for the drohl drones, and that's before we pep up. ooh, there's a random trea-- ah, of course it's pitfalls.

okay so that's why this dungeon looks so easy of a layout.
treasure #1: Yggdrasil Leaf
once i make my way up there's a plot point plant that i touch. it shows me a room with a pillar that has a trap in front and the guy goes around the long way. well okay. i then walk forward into a trap, whoops.

but okay, here's the deal: i'm in the other section of this underground dungeon thing, where i find treasure #2: feathered cap. so like... this isn't really that bad. i also find a shiny Skullrider and get to ride on it, which is creepy as all hell as it's basically a spider but i'll take it! treasure #3: Gold Ore.

spider bones walk up the wall and i'm off to a centered area!
and fall.
and back up!
and fall again. y'know, the good thing about mounts is that when they run they just boink everything out the way so no more fights that i don't wanna have. i finally make my way up to another section and find treasure #4: Mini Medal. quickly get to the next part. treasure #5: Silver Platter, a shield that's worse than my Scale Shield. i go to the next part with a clear church symbol and here we are, cutscene.

not quite a blond bombshell but close enough, that'll do. she's dressed rather conservatively, i guess the lewd one would've been Veronica, who i just realized is basically a loli version of Velvet from Odin Sphere, with a staff instead of chains.

Serena looks familiar from FFBE too. healer type i believe? as the cutscene continues i sadly do not screenshot her going "I'M NOT A KID SO STOP TREATING ME LIKE ONE" which is a perfect picture before "FBI OPEN UP!" but i'm sure it's out there. and yeah, healer. not that i need her right now because this save point is also a healing point. apparently we're going with the idea that somehow monsters sucked the age out of her which made her look like an 8 year old but she's really totally and completely legal. uh huh. taking that "these characters are REALLY over 18" disclaimer to heart, ain'tcha?

root cutscene time, door needs a password and this guy says a password to open the door. his password is corny as fuck, UMBRAKADUMBRA or something, so i approve. it's very clearly setting up for a boss fight so... alright.

ARE YOU POTTY?
imma have to steal that one.
as the toad monster continues i can't help but think there are so many doujins based off of this part of the game alone. this dude is seriously being creepy as he gives us the plot exposition, the "him" from earlier or whatever is the lord of shadows, ooh, mysterious, yadda yadda. Serena is also strangely calm enough to realize that she's face to face with a ghost and Veronica screaming at it made it kinda cute, poor thing.

Shadow A: nothing worth stealing.
B: same.
C: same.
Jarvis himself, the big bad toad monster: same.

is this how it's always gonna be? bosses suck.
also after putting him to sleep i did use Rubblerouser and the damage did wake him up. so that's an odd difference. i'm also not worried about anything in this fight because Serena's healing all the time and Veronica uses those MP healing items all the time so really, i can't lose. Jarvis enters pep mode with an I FEEL SMASHING and then i do and then Erik does and woo it's over.

the big baddy mentions the Lord of Shadows before dying and we ask what that is. i can answer that one: it's a a Kojima Productions Castlevania and ain't half bad, though Hand of Fate on the 3DS was a mistake. never played the PC version of that, or its sequel, despite owning both i think. alas, Dracula will have to wait. speaking of which, i do have to claim false advertisement on this Divine Dagger. it says it does well against the undead but unless none of the monsters here count that's a flat out lie. for shame, for shame!

Veronica uncaps the pot and gets her magic back as it swirls around her. but she's still a loli, which the plot handwaves by going "guess it can't be fixed that easily!" naturally not a single human being is surprised. the two then swear loyalty to me and once Erik goes off to steal something it'll be time for some puff puff. or something. scene ends, we've gotta go find more people they had locked somewhere, and i'm back on my spider bone mount. i check for shiny objects and barrels, get 'em, and on we go through the doors. we find a guy locked in a cell and he's apparently the dad. this guy's named Noah, Erik's familiar, oh cool so he's a crook too.

game fast travels us back to Hotto, aka, the Haiku Village, and we all sleep in the inn. there's two rooms. there's four of us. how'd that go? Erik is all LET'S MOSEY TO FLYING ISLANDS and Veronica rejects the idea, apparently she hates moseying. and there we have it, Noah's an information broker, we gotta go to the bar.
