Update time!
SDm0001.png

It is impossible to completely avoid being raped by spiders in the darkness!
SDm0002.png

/drool
SDm0003.png

Quite possibly the best item we've found all game long.
SDm0004.png

:yeah:

I merge this new information into my existing map for some :incline:
SDm0005.png

Cool.
SDm0006.png

Well on her way to becoming a genius now.
SDm0007.png

Thats pretty pricey though... we'll try it out later I think.
SDm0008.png

Another one? Well, free gold.
SDm0009.png

This spell is just so damned useful. Her MP is running low for it though.
SDm0010.png

Gah. We really ought to buy up better armor for him. It's so expensive though.
SDm0011.png

Using my scienjamagifics I determine that this hole will drop me into unmapped territory.
SDm0012.png

Success!

...


Until I walk a bit further and realize my original map was just missing some unknown markers connecting this to the rest of the chunk. Oops.
SDm0013.png

These guys are actually fairly low priority. Slow still barely ever works, and they have crap armor (though they hit as hard as everything else.)
SDm0014.png

New kind of door! Keys and orbs and searching reveal nothing. Bleh.
SDm0015.png

Well now we know what these guys are here for.
SDm0016.png

They must think we're jews with all the gold clinking in our pockets.
SDm0017.png

Another new feature. Equally unaffected by our items.
SDm0018.png

These enemies can paralyze on attack, but only rarely.
SDm0019.png

These are the same trollfaces as before, the color is just wonky because the screenshot happened while they were fading in from the surprise round where they rendered Codex infertile.
SDm0020.png

:hmmm:

We can see a passage behind it unlike all the other chests we've found this way.
SDm0021.png

New enemies. Top priority is to screen them. This fails miserably of course.
SDm0022.png

Fortunately they waste some turns defending.
SDm0023.png

Also, their bolt spell only hits one of us for ~11 damage. Programming error?
SDm0024.png

Holy shit. Time for some spell purging.
SDm0025.png

Unfortunately I misjudged our damage output and suffered this. Maybe Screen next time, or just heavier spells.
SDm0026.png

Those spells add up fast.
SDm0027.png

Damn thats a strong spell.
SDm0029.png

Damn, we'll be in 4 digit territory before long, at least for xp.
SDm0030.png

BURN fuckers! Our MP is almost gone now though. /cry
SDm0031.png

Nice.
SDm0032.png

Escape time.
SDm0033.png

We sell our busted mirror. Among other things.
SDm0034.png

Then we buy it back, because, seriously, 19000 gold?
SDm0035.png

Bah.
SDm0036.png

We'll take one of everything most expensive.
SDm0038.png

SDm0039.png

SDm0040.png

Muahaha.
SDm0041.png

We even buy that insanely expensive spear.
SDm0042.png

12 point improvement over the axe.
SDm0043.png

Wow.
SDm0044.png

Also wow. This is clearly a boss raping spell.
SDm0045.png

Not even a crit. :smug:
SDm0046.png

We try orbing this too but no dice.
SDm0047.png

I realize I missed another passage on my map here. Doh.
SDm0048.png

Huh. Since this hole ALSO leads to uncharted territory I dive in.
SDm0049.png

SDm0050.png

Short linear path back to the entrance, where I had missed ANOTHER passage, right near the begining. Derp.
SDm0052.png

Strategic Burninating here. 6 enemies split into 3 groups is a bit much.
SDm0053.png

Aha! Actual progress.
SDm0054.png

Due to being cornered, I bump into the blue door and realize it opens without a key. Herp.
SDm0055.png

Onward!
SDm0056.png

:yeah:
SDm0057.png

Oh man that's a huge upgrade.
SDm0058.png

SDm0059.png

Gee, did the perpetual BURNING tip you off, oh sage one? :roll:
SDm0060.png

So it's usable huh?
SDm0061.png

No time like the present.
SDm0062.png

Purge them!
SDm0063.png

Holy shit that's nice. We'll save it for emergencies though.
SDm0064.png

Back to the first floor of the cave.
SDm0065.png

Oh cool, the other side of that chest/gate. And another map.
SDm0066.png

Now with colour!
SDm0067.png

I'm not sure if that irregular spot is supposed to be a hole in the ground or the map itself. Worth checking out at any rate.
SDm0068.png

Another blue door.
SDm0069.png

Actually, this is the other side of that blue wall. I guess they're one way passages?
SDm0070.png

We initiate some burninating since Pyra has an excess of MP.
SDm0072.png

Oh man, we're getting the good stuff now aren't we?
SDm0073.png

Lets try this puppy out.
SDm0074.png

Just checking the cost on this one.
SDm0075.png

Critical WINNING.
SDm0076.png

Though it only hits one guy. Still. We get proper xp and everything.
SDm0077.png

Oh man, more epic weaponry?
SDm0078.png

I always loved hunks of spiky metal on chains. Seems like the best weapon idea ever.
SDm0079.png

Milo gonna be a badass huh?
SDm0080.png

Err, what? It's even weaker than the axe was. We'll try using it anyways though, considering where we found it and how awesome the sword is.
SDm0081.png

SDm0082.png

Double swings! Nice.
SDm0083.png

There goes our last smelling salts. I'll have to remember to buy them in town.
SDm0084.png

Hmm, must be the area that map showed, since it's got that open room thing going.
SDm0085.png

Fuck you mimic shitheads!
SDm0086.png

:yeah:
SDm0087.png

SDm0088.png

Magical chest reappearance. :lol:
SDm0089.png

Updated my journal MAP.
SDm0090.png

I think this calls for more experimenting.
SDm0091.png

SDm0092.png

Nice, damage is on bar with Burn 3.
SDm0093.png

Downstairs, I guess to the room we'll get dropped into by pits ahead.
SDm0094.png
It's... REALLY fucking big.
SDm0095.png

Biggest room yet by far.
SDm0096.png

I decide to set out around the edges so we have a better idea of where we'll land from various holes. One might lead to a side room with goodies or something.
SDm0097.png

New enemy huh?
SDm0098.png

SDm0099.png

Initiating extreme prejudice mode.
SDm0100.png

Damn this spell is so fun. Hasn't missed yet.
SDm0101.png

*pop*
SDm0102.png

SDm0103.png

Oh man. This calls for an airstrike.
SDm0104.png

I was some of Milo's MP here too, blasting the 1 guy that survived the burn spell. Well, better safe than sorry.
SDm0105.png

So much precious jewgold.
SDm0106.png

And, so little...
SDm0107.png

Mwahaha. I probably should be conserving his MP honestly.
SDm0108.png

These guys do the 'grey mist' thing the chesbeaks did, instead of sleep powder. Seems a lot more potent.
SDm0109.png

Nice!
SDm0110.png

Hmm, guess these guys are fire resistant, but not blast resistant. Enemies do have elemental weaknesses after all.
SDm0111.png

These guys too.
SDm0112.png

Nice!
SDm0113.png

Err. Maybe it'll be nice for Pyra?
SDm0114.png

Just a weapon...
SDm0115.png

Maybe it hits like 3 times or something.
SDm0116.png

I think this spell's success is level based vs the area or something.
SDm0117.png

We encounter an enemy the same step Peace wears off. Well, a chance to try that saber out. It is, in fact, worthless. I guess it was too easy to find.
SDm0118.png

Running on fumes here...
SDm0119.png

:hmmm:
SDm0120.png

More ore perhaps. Milo's MP is so low I don't chance identifying it right now though.
SDm0121.png

This is that room that had the weird hole in it. It doesn't line up with our map of the big pit below...
SDm0122.png

SDm0123.png

Must be the right way to go.
SDm0124.png

Stairs up found quickly enough.
SDm0125.png

But we don't have the resources to keeping running around. Retreat time.
SDm0126.png

Block could sell for a lot. We'll hang onto it though.
SDm0127.png

Indeed. Though we've been winning a lot lately. Between the mapping saving us from unnecessary backtracking and having so much gold from not dying ever, we're way ahead of the curve. Id be struggling pretty hard right now if we we're in the best armor possible and only fighting the bare minimum to get around.
CoWb.png

New cave of Wisdom map. I couldn't be assed to show directionality of oneway doors.
CoW2b.png

And floor 2. Too big to fit on the same map now.

Update again! This one was a bit of a pita for a stupid reason: I forgot to delete my old screenshots after the conversion and thinning, so I had the new and old ones intermixed. BLAH.
SDn0002.png

Aww. Would have been funny.
SDn0003.png

Why yes, I do think a test of this is in order.
SDn0004.png

Muahahahaha.
SDn0005.png

Wawawawa. (Wish I could imbed sound files. Kefka laugh is my favourite.)
SDn0006.png

This is that blue door we never went through last time. It's actually a big series of doors.
SDn0007.png

These ones are closing behind us as we go though.
SDn0008.png

Why hello thar!
SDn0009.png

This is turn based, so, technically we could wait for like a month if you want.
SDn0010.png

Hunting morons. I mean monsters. Yes.
SDn0011.png

Hallelujejahiusd. That word is way too hard to remember the spell of. Fuck that word.
SDn0012.png

Why didn't you use an angel feather?
SDn0013.png

Are you retarded? I mean I just assumed the other guy was retarded, but you apparently got this far. I mean, rune key and everything just to get here. WTF dude.
SDn0014.png

In this update, we discover that SMOKE is indeed bad for your health, and can do shit besides cast SLOW.
SDn0015.png

Ow. Can you imagine if we got hit by that like 5 times in a row?
SDn0016.png

Return fire! Actually, seriously, use fire next time. Frost 3 did fuck all.
SDn0017.png

Amazingly pointless now.
SDn0018.png

New friend foe!
SDn0019.png

Time to bring out the artillery.
SDn0020.png

Double the attacks = double the benefit right? Fuck this dude up!
SDn0021.png

SDn0022.png

Hell yes.
SDn0023.png

Ow.
SDn0024.png

Hah! Wait, it's still alive? That was a lot of damage.
SDn0025.png

This slow is actually mostly to ensure Milo can heal Codex before that thing squishes him.
SDn0026.png

BAM! Kicked up a notch.
SDn0027.png

Holy fuck! Good thing we healed or we'd be testing the REVIVE spell.
SDn0028.png

Finally.
SDn0029.png

And we're back on track.
SDn0030.png

Huh, that was sooner than I expected.
SDn0031.png

And the first battle is a perfect chance to try it out.
SDn0032.png

Screen wide effect /puntastic
SDn0033.png

SDn0034.png

Alas, hit rate is still shit. Pretty much a useless useful spell like Sleep even right when we got it. Oh well.
SDn0035.png

This shit ain't useless.
SDn0036.png

Dai finally chips in. I have no idea how he got this far. He's not even faster than Pyra.
SDn0037.png

Repurchasing the mirror did indeed recharge it like I thought it might.
SDn0038.png

Ah, so thats what these can do.
SDn0039.png

Or fail at doing. :roll:
SDn0040.png

I abused some savestate shit here just to show you the message if you use the mirror again like a retard. Would now be gone foreverz.
SDn0041.png

Tally-ho!
SDn0042.png

I'm surprised we didn't encounter these guys on our last trek in.
SDn0044.png

New plan. Codex mugs shit while we hide behind him like small children.
SDn0046.png

Hit me again girly-man!
SDn0047.png

That is how shit is done.
SDn0048.png

Heh.
SDn0049.png

Aww.
SDn0050.png

Yeah fuck off Dai.
SDn0051.png

Rather lame reward considering how strong these things are.
SDn0052.png

Oh, the other side of that pit. Cool.
SDn0053.png

New item! :yeah:
SDn0054.png

Reminded me to scan the dark block too.
SDn0055.png

Wouldn't that apply to pretty much any metal or rock. Troll-vision indeed.
SDn0056.png

Well no shit. I guess it could have been a plot gadget though.
SDn0057.png


That sounds cool.
SDn0058.png

Except, remember when I told you the descriptions were wrong for some things? This is one of them. It's swapped with another item iirc.
SDn0059.png

More brilliant deductions from Milo the great.
SDn0060.png

Plan rapesquad activate! But hey, just for shits and giggles-
SDn0061.png

Fuck yeah!
SDn0062.png

This is how wizards fight :obviously:
SDn0063.png

I mean, I guess technically he's a priest or something?
SDn0064.png

But look at this shit!
SDn0065.png

Ugh, thats a lot of passages.
SDn0066.png

We got your number this time.
SDn0067.png

Though MP is kinda running low. Cheaper than the alternative though.
SDn0068.png

So what does this shit do anyways?
SDn0069.png

Right...
SDn0070.png

Gah.
SDn0071.png

I shuffle this stuff around. Herb water probably has some sort of healing effect in battle, and I'd rather Milo be spell immune against shit that might cast Desoul, for obvious reasons.
SDn0072.png

Time to eek out the last bit of the map...
SDn0073.png

Oh, cool.
SDn0074.png

I try to scour the last bit but our MP is too depleted. I'd rather not die so close to the exit, or be forced to angel feather out when we can just finish the trial.
SDn0075.png

Of course.
SDn0076.png

Clevian IQ status confirmed.
SDn0077.png

Opening Vault-tec doors.
SDn0078.png

:yeah:
SDn0079.png

Walking is for chumps.
SDn0080.png

We don't even get to talk to anyone else when entering the tavern.
SDn0081.png

More like thank me.
SDn0082.png

And you know this how? Wait, I'd rather not know...
SDn0083.png

SDn0084.png

What about the grief and anguish you caused us? You're a shitty fighter dude.
SDn0085.png

No monies? JEW!
SDn0086.png

SDn0087.png

SDn0088.png

Maybe you wouldn't have gotten lost if you kept it instead of putting it back for us :roll:
SDn0089.png

Old news.
SDn0090.png

Well you're obviously not going to kill him with that can opener of yours.
SDn0091.png

Fuck, you guys have homes?! Shit. I want one of those. :(
SDn0092.png

Yeah you kind of mentioned that every time we were in here.
SDn0093.png

SDn0094.png

Besides actually helping us he means.
SDn0095.png

SDn0096.png

Older than you?
SDn0097.png

Yeah that guy was annoying. But you're like, 3 trials late dude.
SDn0098.png

30k jewgolds bitches! HIGHSCORE.
SDn0099.png

Priceless my ass. We'll keep the herb water though. Hopefully we find out what the fuck it does soon.
SDn0100.png

Everyone else says the same thing.
SDn0101.png

Victory is ours. We have purged the caverns sire. Also our bill is going to be like, 300 000 gold.
SDn0102.png


Damn straight.
SDn0103.png

SDn0104.png

SDn0105.png

Especially since I'm the only one who was trying to begin with that actually had a decent sword and didn't go in alone like a moron.
SDn0106.png

Urgh. Thats going to be a lot of updates.
SDn0107.png

Technically we can go around the demon. We just keep killing him because we're dicks.
SDn0108.png

Those sound useful.
SDn0109.png

SDn0110.png

Didn't he do that before? Maybe he was trying to count something and went to look for small children for assistance.
SDn0111.png

Yeah you were a major douchebag huh?
SDn0112.png

Yeah that sounds easy. Still not gonna help huh? Fuck you.
SDn0113.png

SDn0114.png

Actually he wanted me to grow up to be a tranny. I'm a huge disappointment.
SDn0001.png

:M

New map:

Milo can use the battle-axe because cleric-like classes and characters can typically only use blunt weapons.

Whoah, that firesword. Is that like an extremely lucky rare find? Can't imagine it'll be replaced soon.

Also yay, trials passed. So wisdom was just about navigation?

It's hand placed there actually. I was one of the better hidden items though; it was stashed in that pit clusterfuck you get a map for, but the chest isn't on the map. Keep in mind too, the item we upgraded from is pretty frigging old and only cost ~2k gold. But yeah, it'll probably last us a while. Or not. I know lots of cool shit is going to show up soon, I can't remember if better swords for the main character are among them.

If I remember, forging stuff with mithril and dark blocks should give you the best equipment possible.

Unlimited Update Works!
SDo0002.png

What? Where will I sleep? And eat, presumably? We're gonna die!
SDo0003.png

Oh ok.
SDo0004.png

Party upgrade time! Fuck these little kids.
SDo0005.png

Wow what assholes.
SDo0006.png

More like relieved I bet.
SDo0007.png

Uh-oh. Mom aggro.
SDo0008.png

Spank faster! This isn't sexy at all!
SDo0009.png

Oh you probably meant to make her stop.
SDo0010.png

To hold even a young girl in one arm like that... Mrs. Myst is frigging strong. I bet KAISER KRAB avoids her whenever it can.
SDo0011.png

Not in this frame.
SDo0012.png

You look pretty derp in this one though.
SDo0013.png

I deny everything.
SDo0014.png

Actually missed screenshotting an option there. Fail me, there could have been some 'but thou must' jokes and more spanking but I just hit yes without thinking.
SDo0015.png

How about you bash all the walls down between here and the 5th floor with your crazy strong left arm, Mrs. Godhand?
SDo0016.png

We can't afford the :obviously: places Milo's dad gets shitfaced at.
SDo0017.png

Is that why Pyra was raised to be a lesbian?
SDo0018.png

This explains we we're so badass: no bed to hide under.
SDo0019.png

:yeah:

Some of the others come back after we leave and come back:
SDo0020.png

SDo0021.png

Yes ma'am. We'll begin purging the undesirables right away ma'am.
SDo0022.png

Yeah I took a screenshot to troll everyone without going in but nobody cared. :cry:
SDo0023.png

SDo0024.png

SDo0025.png

Ah, my elven harem grows. Now to work on Pyra's mom.
SDo0026.png

Just now?
SDo0027.png

And what, you'll answer them in the sequel?
SDo0028.png

Give me all your stuff or we kill you with our insanely strong spells. Nobody else in the kingdom is 1/10th as strong as a single one of us by ourselves.
SDo0029.png

Oh, or we could do business.
SDo0030.png

Holy shit. 30k doesn't seem quite so excessive any more.
SDo0031.png

Oh cool, the flail and a weaker whip. And a bunch of other shit thats worse than what we have.
SDo0032.png

Though some of this stuff might beat the fire sword. Probably not by much though.
SDo0033.png

Helms are apparently a scarce commodity.
SDo0034.png

Finally some shield upgrades.
SDo0035.png

Ah, now we can repair that mirror if we use it.
SDo0036.png

SDo0037.png

Custom mithril arms of awesome here we come! We select body armor for Milo as our desired parameters.
SDo0038.png

Holy fuck. The material alone is worth 4k. This is some expensive shit.
SDo0039.png

Cool.
SDo0040.png

Lets use that dark block too.
SDo0042.png

Pyra this time.
SDo0043.png

This should be a nice upgrade.
SDo0044.png

SDo0045.png

What the hell? Thats even worse than the mithril armor! Geez. Next time I guess.
SDo0046.png

SDo0047.png

SDo0048.png

SDo0049.png

Here we go.
SDo0050.png

Walking god coming through.
SDo0051.png

Step aside inanimate wall.
SDo0052.png

:smug:
SDo0053.png

This seems safe.
SDo0054.png

Holy fuck my TV broke!
SDo0055.png

Oh, they just palette swapped the dungeon.
SDo0056.png

I'll have to remember to try casting it right before we get in here next time.

SDp0002.png

Oh jackpot. We barely had to move to find this too.
SDp0003.png

Damn these guys can add up fast. Was only a half group of these to start with, along with some wizards.
SDp0004.png

Oh man that is nice.
SDp0005.png

Apparently this is their offensive trick. Don't really give a fuck.
SDp0007.png

Gah, they block damage-
SDp0008.png

and defend themselves.
SDp0009.png

And these things are still annoying fucks.
SDp0010.png

Huh. Worth marking, might be able to predict holes in the next floor up.
SDp0011.png

Another one of these?
SDp0012.png

Huh, it changed-
SDp0013.png

colour...
SDp0014.png

And now it's flickering
SDp0015.png

Probably wants to dispense candy.
SDp0016.png

Aww. Well, this is why I also cast boost on Codex.
SDp0018.png

Holy crap he swings hard.
SDp0019.png

Well, so do we.
SDp0020.png

Immune to slow too.
SDp0021.png

HA-HA
SDp0023.png

Ow.
SDp0024.png

Fuck-you!
SDp0026.png

:smug:
SDp0027.png

Another hole in the ceiling.
SDp0028.png

It said something about holy water right? Maybe it kills undead?
SDp0029.png

Nope. No effect.
SDp0030.png

Well, this stuff works decently though.
SDp0032.png

Or it would have if we used a whip attack along with it.
SDp0033.png

Ah, our old friend.
SDp0034.png

Milo's turn to play badass.
SDp0035.png

SDp0036.png

:yeah:
SDp0037.png

Never even got a turn.
SDp0038.png

More annoying gas things. Blah.
SDp0039.png

Naming on most enemies is just so bad :lol:
SDp0040.png

!
SDp0041.png

:x
SDp0043.png

Those hits are gonna add up quick without a healer.
SDp0045.png

Maybe this rezzes people?
SDp0046.png

Nope.
SDp0047.png

We're too badass to die just from death incarnate attacking us.
SDp0049.png

Better go into stealth mode if our healer is down.
SDp0050.png

:rage:
SDp0051.png

I decide to stick around since we still have lots of MP to burn on Pyra. Alas, I stupidly waste a bunch of it on fairly obvious elemental resistances.
SDp0053.png

At least Pyra has Heal 2 now so she can patch us up between fights just fine.
SDp0054.png

This thing again? But yellow?
SDp0055.png

Oh shit.
SDp0057.png

Well, this should make short work of them anyways.
SDp0058.png

Ow. That hurts a lot in triplicate.
SDp0060.png

Oh come ON.:rpgcodex:
SDp0061.png

Frost seems to work pretty well.
SDp0062.png

Oh shit. Maybe we should go for plan B.
SDp0063.png

Or whatever plan this is. Actually bothering to cast shit at all is probably plan B.
SDp0064.png

We clearly need more practice at this planning shit.
SDp0065.png

Well, that managed to be both lucky for us and fucking evil.
SDp0066.png

I hope they don't have too many HP or that shit is going to be crazy.
SDp0068.png

SDp0069.png

:yeah:
SDp0070.png

I should probably bail now, with that much gold at stake. But we're on a long linear path near the corner of the dungeon, so I'm hoping we reach a chest at the end here really quick or something.
SDp0071.png

Onward!

SDp0073.png

We get sent on a nice walk after going through a door. I think it's another bronze one?
SDp0074.png

SDp0075.png

Epic 16-bit graphics to be had.
SDp0076.png

SDp0077.png

Alright, so now where the fuck are we.
SDp0078.png

Oh man. I'm not even going to try map this shit. We'll hook it up later when we connect to something I have mapped.
SDp0080.png

Trying to get a shot of the door before it flashes...
SDp0081.png

But this is as close as I can get.
SDp0082.png

BLOOM.
SDp0083.png

New enemy type. They seem to excel at... umm...
SDp0084.png

Well not healing. Thoguh they attempt it.
SDp0085.png

Uh oh.
SDp0086.png

Wait what? Leave the dead guy alone man!
SDp0087.png

This time we shall employ superior strategic knowledge.
SDp0088.png

Mummies are flammable!
SDp0089.png

Fuck. Also spellcasters.
SDp0090.png

Yeah it's about time to leave.
SDp0091.png

Nice rewards. Milo going to be behind in xp a bit.
SDp0092.png

One more fight before we go back.
SDp0093.png

That seemed like a good idea before I knew they could breathe fire...
SDp0095.png

SDp0096.png

Hah! Bye suckers!
SDp0097.png

Lay it on me man.
SDp0098.png

It's only worth the 24k we spent to craft it? What the fuck did you do with all that mithril man?
SDp0099.png

We don't have the gold for much in the way of further service.
SDp0100.png

It was made for Milo, by Pyra can use it too. And man, what an upgrade over that Hemp crap.
SDp0101.png

Troll-o-vision time.
SDp0001.png

:roll:

According to the internets, items with this message might confer magic resistance. Or status effect resists. Maybe. Nobody actually really tested shit.
Final Labyrinth 1 map :yeah:

And First labyrinth 2 map:

:salute: This page can't hold any more awesome or it'll spill over into other LPs. We must construct additional pages.


One thing that kinda makes me go "meh" in this game is the flavour names of the "trials": "of courage", "of truth", etc.. They're all pretty much "Caves of Killing Thingies and Taking Their Stuffies", anyway. Still fun, though.

It's not terribly original but it's a bona fide dungeon crawler, with the advantage of having some light character interaction between romps in the labyrinth.

I really kind of like the graphics, but I have a soft spot for Megadrive/Genesis.

Time to break the forums with too many images

Update time!


SDq0001.png

Wow. That's pretty lame compared to the chest of fucking mithril 2 feet in the door.
SDq0002.png

:x
SDq0003.png

At least the version Codex uses still works. Boost ftw.
SDq0004.png

Huh, I guess this does have a hit rate after all. It's just really high for most enemies. Cool.
SDq0005.png

Man that is a lot of gold.
SDq0006.png

So these things are here too eh?
SDq0007.png

Wow, even lamer than the gold. You know, poison is actually so weak in this game, it's cheaper to just ignore it and heal the damage if you're moving less than ~100 paces.
SDq0008.png

Chest detected through3D jew magicry!
SDq0009.png

:smug:
SDq0010.png

:hmmm:
SDq0011.png

I doubt 33 more attack power is going to be a better deal than an extra attack right now. Or at any point in the future. Maybe if this and the flail were both around like, 20 levels ago. But even then, killing 2 enemies in a single action is just way too useful.
SDq0012.png

Not taking chances with these fuckers this time.
SDq0013.png

Lightrobe is pretty epic.
SDq0015.png

New enemies. Nothing special AFAICT.
SDq0016.png

Of course, even mundane attack power is dangerous at this point, if they land crits. Maybe the ability to land crits is special? I can't remember if everything has been doing it or only certain enemies. It's fairly rare.
SDq0017.png

4 of these fuckers in 2 groups. And they're faster than Milo sometimes.
SDq0018.png

I tried nuking the shit out of them, but Pyra only killed one...
SDq0019.png

And Milo just wounded the other 2. Luckily they just used their wimpy melee attacks.
SDq0020.png

The fights are taking so long now I kinda want to frameskip through them all. But that'd be kinda dangerous, since almost everything ehre poses some sort of threat. Also, I wouldn't want to miss some rare action an enemy performs. (Like say, Desoul)
SDq0021.png

At least we know what this is now.
SDq0022.png

Old jrpg secret: reptiles are weak to ice attacks.
SDq0023.png

Magic is always superior. :obviously:
SDq0024.png

Gold piling back up. Dying would definitely suck now.
SDq0025.png

Look guys! Dynamic shadows!
SDq0026.png

Bah. This is the only way forward so I go to the trouble of counting out the squares to map this out properly.
SDq0027.png

It's kind of neat how the enemy spells are mirrored.
SDq0028.png

Nice! Our highest power spell yet.
SDq0029.png

This is a different door than the other side of the one we saw before.
SDq0030.png

Lets try this thing out. I freeze them beforehand too for good measure.
SDq0031.png

Explosions are fun.
SDq0032.png

Ugh, couldn't kill a single one. Figures.
SDq0033.png

New plan: Quick will raise our defense enough that they don't hurt so bad. And it's cheap.
SDq0034.png

Plan is not successful.
SDq0035.png

Our MP is getting low now too. These fights take a lot out of us. Boost alone is 9 mp...
SDq0036.png

There goes another 10.
SDq0037.png

I probably shouldn't have wasted magic on these guys.
SDq0038.png

But it's fun, and I wanted to get to that chest.
SDq0039.png

BAH.
SDq0040.png

Though the other chest we find in this little closed area between the blue doors has a much better reward! No more crown for us.
SDq0041.png

Where quick failed, Slow shall prevail!
SDq0043.png

Damage is definitely up a lot.
SDq0044.png

But we end up wasting turns recovering from paralysis. I used the item so Milo could fight, since Pyra isn't going to kill shit.
SDq0045.png

Ugh, between bad targetting and heal, this takes forever.
SDq0046.png

And of course this fucker paralyzes Pyra.
SDq0047.png

This time I used it just because we have like no MP left.
SDq0048.png

:deadhorse:
SDq0049.png

I heal up with the last of my MP, we're pretty much drained before I even get to the moss.
SDq0050.png

But we make it throguh to the other blue door and finish off this chunk of map.
SDq0051.png

That axe sells for a small fortune.
SDq0052.png

We sell the key too to make room.
SDq0053.png

Re-place our dark block order.
SDq0054.png

And we still have 10k left!
SDq0055.png

Ready in the morning. Nice.
SDq0056.png

Wow, that looks heavy and kinda scary.
SDq0057.png

Huge armor bonus, along with a huge damage penalty. Well, it's on Pyra so I don't really care. Whip wasn't going to be useful much longer anyways.
SDq0058.png

Dun dun dun!
SDq0059.png

Well yeah, if we could it'd be a pretty lame curse. But I don't really want to anyways. Look at that armor!
SDq0060.png

I decide to pass the lightrobe back to Milo (who it was made for) and give Pyra a lesser robe.
SDq0062.png

Armor is still off the charts.
SDq0063.png

And now Milo gets an upgrade.
SDq0064.png

Milo reveals that there is nothing at all special about cursed objects. Thanks Milo! :troll:
SDq0065.png

Pyra still hits hard enough to kill slugs... but thats about it.
SDq0066.png

She ain't doing fuck all in ehre with that whip. We should probably just sell it next trip in.
SDq0067.png

Well, unless she lands a crit. But even then it's fairly irrelevant.
SDq0068.png

And of course she still gets hurt by spells. :cry:
SDq0069.png

But this is why she's here.
SDq0070.png

Annoying cunts.
SDq0071.png

New message! This is because Pyra's attack is so fucking low, she can't even deal 1 damage. How sad is that.
SDq0072.png

Guess these guys are strong against fire, even thoguh they don't seem to cast anything...
SDq0073.png

And ice. Maybe that's whats special, magic resist? I dunno.
SDq0074.png

I try out some old spells just to have shit for her to do. Muddle still works. Not that muddle working actually does anything.
SDq0075.png

Pallete swapped version of someone that would have been able to hurt us badly anyways. Does not bode well.
SDq0076.png

So fucking awesome for just 2 MP.
SDq0077.png

SDq0078.png

Though I waste it by having Milo try to desoul the fucker anyway. Which fails. :cry:
SDq0079.png

Holy shit, he hits nearly as hard as we do.
SDq0080.png

In fact, he'd be hitting harder if not for that slow, I bet.
SDq0081.png

Pyra goes on Heal duty so Milo can lay on the beating.
SDq0083.png

Milo is frigging scary with that flail when buffs/debuffs come into play.
SDq0084.png

Fucker is still alive! over 150 hp.
SDq0085.png

Ugh, thats a lot of MP to spend on heals + desoul.
SDq0086.png

For a shitty reward I might add.
SDq0087.png

New enemy! Sleep manages to knock one out.
SDq0088.png

And Codex outspeeds the other! Nice.
SDq0089.png

Big open room. These are pretty rare, the developers really loved cramming stuff into every corner.
SDq0090.png

Another new enemy, this warrants some major sleep I think.
SDq0091.png

Of course it doesn't hit anybody at all. :decline:
SDq0092.png

Oh boy, a new attack.
SDq0093.png

Fuckers hit everyone and ignore armor!
SDq0094.png

That is also new. And sounds very, very bad.
SDq0095.png

:x
SDq0096.png

At least the last one decided to nip at us rather than finish us off.
SDq0097.png

Codex scores the only kill.
SDq0098.png

Plan 'DAI' is not successful.
SDq0099.png

Thats not good.
SDq0100.png

Ow.
SDq0101.png

Luckily the salamander was retarded and we got away.
SDq0102.png

Thank god for overpowered healers.
SDq0103.png

:yeah:
SDq0104.png

High MP cost, but we're basically still in top form.
SDq0105.png

More of this huh?
SDq0106.png

SDq0107.png

Oops, forgot about that.
SDq0108.png

Which makes this rather ineffective.
SDq0109.png

Though Codex still pulls through.
SDq0110.png

And serves as meatshield. :smug:
SDq0111.png

I dunno why I even tried that.
SDq0112.png

Muddle is so useless.
SDq0113.png

Anyways, we finally win, after taking way too much damage.
SDq0114.png

That sounds pretty awesome.
SDq0115.png

Radiant armor upgrade :yeah:
SDq0116.png

Armor for badasses only.
SDq0117.png

Yeah fuck you Milo. Maybe it can keep my thermos warm.
SDq0118.png

Not going to fuck with this one, no treasure to be found.
SDq0120.png

Hallway is filled with these fuckers.
SDq0121.png

This is more like it. We could have tried Desoul too but it'd suck if that missed, and we might need his MP for revives.
SDq0122.png

BAM!
SDq0123.png

Holy fuck. You're not supposed to do that. Triple digit damage was OUR thing you asshole.
SDq0124.png

Fuck! He gets a double turn too!
SDq0125.png

Oh well, evened up the xp a bit.
SDq0127.png

Uh huh. Based on the stats this thing has and the fact that we know cursed shit exists now, I'm not touching that.
SDq0128.png

SDq0129.png

Yeah I'll bet.
SDq0130.png

Another lame reward. Must be balancing out for that wicked sun armor.
SDq0131.png

Geez, they're not even super weak against ice? Assholes.
SDq0132.png

Though Milo finishes them off before they move anyways.
SDq0133.png

Hmm, another new friend.
SDq0134.png

Honestly never going to cast that again I swear.
SDq0135.png

:x
SDq0137.png

:smug:
SDq0138.png

Guess that's one reason for all the ceiling holes.
SDq0140.png

Running low here, but theres not much room left on the map, and new enemies must mean we're close to the end.
SDq0141.png

Fuck, even after our armor upgrade that hurts a lot.
SDq0144.png

And of course this thing hits way too ahrd for armor to matter.
SDq0146.png

Even for Pyra.
SDq0147.png

Wat.
SDq0148.png

Fucking suicide bomber!
SDq0149.png

:rage:
SDq0150.png

SDq0151.png

Yeah... holy shit. Maybe I'll go back to trying Desoul on those.
SDq0152.png

Well, we have almost no MP left and tons of gold to lose by dying now so-
SDq0153.png

Oh come on : x
SDq0154.png

Codex gets to play wizard to save the last bits of our MP.
SDq0155.png

Damn thats so awesome.
SDq0156.png

Burn fuckers! we need a Rance emote.
SDq0157.png

Guess we'll need to try out that repair thing the trader offered.
SDq0158.png

Huh, this water is a different colour than the other basin we found on this floor. Weird. There's a space on the map behind it too, where that sentinel we didn't fuck with was.
SDq0159.png

Nice!
SDq0160.png

Well, as fun as it would be to die here to a new enemy after coming this far and losing like 10k gold...
SDq0161.png

We'll stop here for now.
New map:
Lab2b.png


Besides the oddness of that fountain, I noticed there is just enough room at the top there for a path between the two bronze doors. it doesn't get mapped, but I assume that's where the outer pathway is supposed to be, physically. Or maybe I'm wrong and we'll fall into a pitrap and explore there later. Who knows.

Where are Gragt and Crooked Bee and lightbane? I need another page here! Especially since these updates keep getting longer. The game really doesn't stop shoving in new enemies and items and stuff even at the end.

Still don't know what that stupid herb water does. I think maybe it cures in battle status effects, like sleep and stuff? Maybe?
