Ah well, happy abadon then. It was fun while it lasted.

We're bumping to page 8 or what?
Also: this Gold Medallion stuff seems complex as fuck. In current-era game you would need a 1/2 h long tutorial to make sure that your audience is not alienated and understands how shit works. Or maybe this whole teleportation system should be streamlined, for example by allowing teleportation anywhere at any time?

Update time!
Peaced the whole way here with hardly any fighting. But man did that suck up a lot of MP anyways.
Time to try this sucker out.
Haven't cast this in a long while.
And boy, that gold sure piles up when we stay alive. Nothing left to buy at this point really.
Luckily, in RPGland, magical objects are activated by vaguely 'using' them, rather than any sort of specific process.
Success!
Since we saved all that MP, we can afford to go ballistic on the enemies up here.
And boy is it ever effective.
And rewarding.
And cool looking.
Did I mention rewarding?
Tried this out again and now I'm pretty much certain this increases enemy miss chance to 50%, rather than making them randomly waste a turn. Same difference I suppose. Actually kinda useful.
New enemies! Look kinda dangerous.
Of course it's the Necromancers that fall asleep.
And we targetted them to be killed first anyways (don't want them healing the dragons.) Dragons don't hit too hard though.
Though healing the dragons wouldn't have been a problem apparently.
Also, they have rather low armor and hp. Must have some scary fire breath or something.
Guess this is the new breath weapon for level 4.
Damage does not impress us however.
Nice.
This still getting a lot of us. 10 MP saved by using this is 10 MP I can spend on a level 4 spell instead after all.
That seems rather woefully inadequate at this point in the game.
Cool.
Though pricey. But much much better for use in the heat of battle, so the target doesn't drop dead right away.
New reaper types warrant a full spell barrage. But they seem resistant to fire.
And wind.
Though all they did was melee us for middling damage.
Oh, I guess thats a powerful spell for them to have.
Yeah this could get annoying.
Lets try ice?
No dice.
Something must work surely.
Ugh. At least all the accumulated damage wore them down. The only spells we didn't get to test were Desoul and Bolt.
Decent reward anyways.
I keep following this insanely long hallway with torches along it, and every so often it branches off onto a path without them. I'm guessing the torches lead somewhere specific, but I get sick of leaving so many short unexplored paths behind and abandon it here.
Lets try out the muscle approach.
Hmmm, thats about half as strong as regular boost.
But it lands on all of us, so it's not that shabby if we're all gonig to be meleeing after.
We don't need much of a boost to dish out some serious damage anyways.
Cheating bastards.
Heh, ~37 damage to every target at no MP cost each round? This won't last long.
We mop them up easily.
It's so random what enemy weakness are, it's a chore trying to remember them all.
I mean, usually the blue guys aren't weak against ice in games, but these ones are.
Of course these guys resist fire despite being fairly obviously undead of some sort.
But they resist ice too. Urgh.
New plan! Can't cast Revive if you're asleep! (Or screened, but Milo's MP is lower)
2 out of 4 not bad.
Heh, we actually killed this sleeping guy and he got revived- still asleep.
New enemy. These look like fun.
Ice resistant. Bah.
Fairly decent defense too. Guess they're sort of tanky?
Oh fuck.
Codex consistently takes about 2/3 the damage from this as the other two, so I think something he's equipped with has fire breath resistance. Probably the sun armor.
Theres 4 of them so this could get out of hand pretty quickly.
And it does. The bites hurt badly too.
Took out one of them at least.
I doubt this would work at all.
Only other option really.
Hopefully they have low HP.
Yes! But the last one is still standing.
Shit. Well, codex should still be alive, and he can finish it off for sure.
Yep.
Son of a fuck! 2 flame breaths in a row? : x
There's your party wipe Yeesh.
They must have brought dustpans.
Kinda scary that after losing half our gold we still have over 39k left.
Turns out we can use this thing from in town! Cool huh?
Off we go!
Screw you! I want that chest!
Not much of interest in all these little side paths so far. Half are just dead ends anyways.
Cool. (Admit it, you're all just reading for my awesome puns aren't you?)
Cheaper than I thought it would be.
No targetting required. Multikill!
Annihilation!
Well, that was kind of predictable.
And meagre.
More of this shit? Ugh.
This stuff isn't much of a barrier at this point. We have well over 100 MP, losing a dozen points won't deter us.
Finally a nice find.
Although that is a REALLY minor upgrade.
This thing just never breaks. So awesome.
4 at once huh? Might at least hurt us a bit then, if I don't bother to freeze them all to death.
That graphic is way too cool for such a lame attack.
And this, otoh, has no graphic at all, despite being devastating.
Our old friend! Though honestly it doesn't serve much purpose when we know how it works and have an awesome map.
New enemy! Or colour of enemy anyways.
We don't get to find out what they do besides hit like girls.
And drop 510 gold a piece.
Man that just never gets old.
Hello!
Guessing this will be a clusterfuck.
Cast what?
Well fuck.
And double turns and hits really hard. Great.
Wish my Muddle were that effective.
Still, this shouldn't take too long.
Stupid water enemies immune to slow all the time /grumble.
Probably overkill, but I was worried she might outspeed him.
We can survive through this level of damage quite a while if we heal efficiently.
Err, but not THAT level of damage.
Pyra's melee not going to be worth shit here.
Milo finally lands a weak hit.
Son of a bitch. Or, bitch of a bitch, as the case may be.
At least we got lucky in one way.
May as well give this one a shot.
Kinda figured it wouldn't hit for full, but even resisted it's pretty strong.
Argh.
Still, we must be close to winning.
Or would be if our attacks would land.
Was afraid of that.
There goes the last of Milo's MP. He needs to be attacking anyways.
Wow, and he's still over 200 hp. He's going to break 300 soon.
Super effective right?!?
Argh.
We can still hold out quite a while if she doesn't get any crits.
Though that won't help if we don't land anything at all.
Starting to look grim.
Maybe this shit cures blindness?
NOPE. Though at least the enemy is only getting a single turn sometimes, letting our heals catch up.
Fuck it, at least we know this will hit.
Really regretting blowing all that MP on HEAL 4 spells now. Thought this would be over by now, one way or the other.
Rather small reward all things considered.
Well that makes it a little better.
Even better still!
Ugh. But I really want to explore past here. It's on a path without torches and I don't want to fight that thing again if it's not necessary.
Yeah, this isn't really what I wanted to see.
Luckily we got the surprise round on them.
Even if they're tough and ice resistant.
They go down without a fight.
Fuck. No surprise round for us this time.
At least they aren't nigh invulnerable.
Not sure if I prefer that to a plain attack.
Ow. I think I'd rather they just attacked.
Cutting things close now.
But we manage the win.
Hah! Knew it would be worth it. Must be something awesome in there.
They fuck is that?
Something tells me our odds of winning this are not fantastic.
But lets try anyways.
Ugh. That does not bode well.
Neither does that. Though at least he only got the one turn.
Oh man, it's way too tough.
Err, does this mean we're winning?
I guess only in the charlie sheen sense of the word.
Cute. Desoul 2 without the annoying drawback of being susceptible to the magic mirror.
I have no appropriate emoticon for this moment. We need something to display suspense.
Weird, the chest is still there (and closed), unlike when we ran from the chestbeak. I guess we can have our rematch eventually.
New level 4 map (All those torches were a total pain in the ass):

The funny thing is, we don't know if that was an intentional pun, or just translation coincidence with the whole l/r thing. Well, I'd like to say that, but this game's translation is blatantly cheesy and bad (DARK SOL).
I kinda wonder if the translation isn't actually faithful to the original, given that the whole thing has a cheesy and cartoony vibe and differs from a truly bad engrish translation. I wouldn't be surprised if monsters names in the original Japanese also consisted of bad puns like that. If anything, it gives charm to the game.

Update time!
Bee better be right, I'm running out of letters to append to the file names here.
Damn, I never should have mentioned we got this thing, it'd seem so much more badass if I pretended I slogged all the way back up there without losing any MP or HP at all by virtue of my incredible skill.
Nice.
But we still have tons of MP to spare, so we may as well use some until it gets low enough to be an issue for fighting any bosses we encounter.
Heh, no Syren fight this time. Just one stupid zombie.
We must be getting closer. I didn't expect them to pallette swap these guys so soon.
They hit really hard too.
Rematch time asshole!
Code red! All safeties off!
Except those safeties. Those are useful.
Well, I guess it's better than insta kills.
Though it still hurts a ton, and Codex doesn't resist it at all.
Sweet, sweet revenge.
That was easy. This was actually a different one- the one we ran away from was already opened when we came back, oddly enough.
The other 2 chests here have GLORIOUS LOOT.
Nice. It has the same description as the Sun Armor did.
Seems like the logical weakness of rock monsters.
Or maybe this.
Eh, not bad but not good either.
I expected a better show for level 4 burst honestly. This looks the same as level 3. Bug maybe?
It does the job though.
Heh, these things still show up. Totally not a threat now.
Well damn, that could be useful.
Identify this shit Milo!
It's the only ring we've ever seen. Special compared to what?
I'd like to know what those materials are exactly. What if this is an enchanted knockoff? Debeers will be all over our asses.
Think it'll get the princess to spread her legs for us?
But gee, what spell could the HEAL RING possible cast when used?
We'll have to find out when we're actually injured. Take them down Milo!
One out of 4?
Oh now that is music to my ears.
Shit. Well, if we don't get muddled it'll be easy.
Stronger melee hits should help too.
Oh, she didn't cast Muddle anyways. Cool.
And she double attacked Codex, so we can fix that for a single heal 3 spell.
Man that is one solid hit.
20 MP cost btw, no targeting required.
Bah. I guess that's still good in the scheme of things.
Back in tip top shape.
Yeah I don't really give a fuck if Pyra dies after boosting both of them.
Deploying badass mode.
You got nothing on us this time.
So lets try this thing out.
Pity they didn't add flavour text for all this stuff outside of battle.
Nice, it's heal 3. I hand it over to Pyra so we have an emergency source in battle faster than Milo.
Oh boy, this could suck.
Eh, was worth a shot.
Huh, thats not actually that bad. I bet he casts Desoul or something though.
Though he won't be casting fuck all if this keeps up.
Damage ignoring trait, kinda annoying.
Annoying enough to hulk out over apparently.
Well, there's our ticket to the final floor, ladies and gentlemen.
Lets go!
Holy fuck the walls aren't bricks.
Spooky.
Damn, it's not a simple layout either.
New enemies too. This could be dangerous.
*crosses fingers*
*crosses fingers again*
From where? Wait, don't answer that.
Ow.
Our turn!
Not too shabby for just 2 enemies.
Oh yeah, this looks safe.
Maximum rape protocol initiated.
Rape engine at full capacity.
Damn, Burst 4 is taking names and kicking ass.
I'd say it's too bad we didn't find out what they do, but what they do is probably kill people stupid enough to find out.
Besides fork over massive xp.
Oh man, how awesome is this gonna be?
We already have enough of that shit. Well, time to head back.
Oh boy.
I don't think he's friendly.
Lol, I don't think thats even a palette swap.
Well, he's certainly not invincible.
Thats new. New things tend to be bad.
Yeah thats a bit much.
At least he only got the one turn.
Argh, you cheapass bastard.
So we can keep up the epic Milo offense.
I wonder if she does that when asked to pass the salt too?
Can't argue with results though.
Guh.
: x
Hmm, that was not part of the plan.
This thing is fucking awesome.
Heh, I think the Siren gave more than that.
Yeah not gonna take chances here.
Man that spell kicks ass.
This was total overkill.
Gee, 2 spells and we get that much better a reward compared to almost dying in the boss fight. Though admittedly, if we let those guys attack we'd probably be looking at a TPK in one round.
Not really enough MP left to fight any more.
Thank god we had this and didn't need to come back here.
Guys? I think we're close to the end of the game now, just maybe.
Oh wow, Milo got something right for a change. Except he didn't mention the usualy 'useful' thing. But he didn't say it could break either...
Wow. Why would we use this thing in melee again? We just got a fucking laser cannon.
So much rape.
Time to patch back up though.
Almost breaking 6 digits on the gold supply.
Fixing up our ring of awesome.
Chump change for us.
We make a second shield too.
Pretty close to ideal gear now, only a few possible upgrades remain.
Wahahaha.
Yeah you guys can take a nap I got this.
Oops. I guess not everything is weak to bolt 3.
Of course, Pyra does it faster.
And it's not like we need the MP for much of anything.
Fuck, this shit is too easy now.
I should just buy back the storm sword and put it on Codex so Pyra can carry the light swod and activate it every turn at no cost.
Everything in front of us suffers and dies.
One of the paths from the spinner leads back to the torch path, so I decide to go ahead and follow it.
Another rare enemy that survives bolt 3.
Torches not as constant now. Might be getting close to.... whatever.
Huh, they resist ice?
Still frigging weak though.
Figured I should check the melee damage at least once. It is higher than the active ability by a bit.
Oh cool, another of these doors.
Holy shit, these things are actually dangerous!
Yeah this is not my ideal ambush scenario.
That... sucked. A lot.
Luckily Bolt 3 cures what ails you. With death.
Maybe this only works OUT of battle?
That shit doesn't do anything at all does it?
Pyra pulls through for us so we can keep going.
Awesome cutscene time! Amazing what you can do with 3 frames of animation looped + a slowly scrolling background, mirrored on the reverse trip.
Shit. I remember that line. We try to back up.
Uh oh.
I think they assumed we were going to move forward here.
Given our current state? That sounds likely. Wait. He's a good guy isn't he?
Quel horreur!
So what you're saying is we need the power of a tranny?
Amusing timing on that.
Just to be safe.
This is probably pointless. If we get attacked having full hp won't matter.
Nope, only here for the pillaging and raping.
Gah. Cockblocked by our own father. What an ass!
Can't you just fit through those bars? I mean the gap is like twice the size of your head.
You'd think the family resemblance would give it away. I mean, we're both walking tin cans in epic glowing armor right?
Oh, so he's probably like, a zombie now or something.
Fortunately, we have a 'FATE unlock code'. This situation can be remedied.
Fuck no. We'll find it and let you out though. After we loot all those chests behind other doors like this one.
Don't suppose you have any other bits of equipment on you? If your crown was that strong I bet your dress is better than a lightrobe. You should take it off and give it to Pyra. You know, for luck.
Codex's neanderthalian intellect is warning him that perhaps looking for mortred while Milo is dead is a bad idea. Maybe.
Pyra's own Clevian intellect concurs.
But fuck them, maybe we should press on anyways?
New level 4 map (Didn't bother with level 5, it's too small to matter yet):
Bee better be right, I'm running out of letters to append to the file names here.
Damn, I never should have mentioned we got this thing, it'd seem so much more badass if I pretended I slogged all the way back up there without losing any MP or HP at all by virtue of my incredible skill.
Nice.
But we still have tons of MP to spare, so we may as well use some until it gets low enough to be an issue for fighting any bosses we encounter.
Heh, no Syren fight this time. Just one stupid zombie.

They hit really hard too.

New enemies too. This could be dangerous.
*crosses fingers*
*crosses fingers again*
From where? Wait, don't answer that.
Ow.
Our turn!
Not too shabby for just 2 enemies.
Oh yeah, this looks safe.
Maximum rape protocol initiated.
Rape engine at full capacity.
Damn, Burst 4 is taking names and kicking ass.
I'd say it's too bad we didn't find out what they do, but what they do is probably kill people stupid enough to find out.
Besides fork over massive xp.
Oh man, how awesome is this gonna be?
We already have enough of that shit. Well, time to head back.
Oh boy.
I don't think he's friendly.
Lol, I don't think thats even a palette swap
.
Well, he's certainly not invincible.
Thats new. New things tend to be bad.
Yeah thats a bit much.
At least he only got the one turn.
Argh, you cheapass bastard.
So we can keep up the epic Milo offense.
I wonder if she does that when asked to pass the salt too?
Can't argue with results though.
Guh.
: x
Hmm, that was not part of the plan.
This thing is fucking awesome.
Heh, I think the Siren gave more than that.
Yeah not gonna take chances here.
Man that spell kicks ass.
This was total overkill.
Gee, 2 spells and we get that much better a reward compared to almost dying in the boss fight. Though admittedly, if we let those guys attack we'd probably be looking at a TPK in one round.
Not really enough MP left to fight any more.
Thank god we had this and didn't need to come back here.
Guys? I think we're close to the end of the game now, just maybe.
Oh wow, Milo got something right for a change. Except he didn't mention the usualy 'useful' thing. But he didn't say it could break either...
Wow. Why would we use this thing in melee again? We just got a fucking laser cannon.
So much rape.
Time to patch back up though.
Almost breaking 6 digits on the gold supply.
Fixing up our ring of awesome.
Chump change for us.
We make a second shield too.
Pretty close to ideal gear now, only a few possible upgrades remain.
Wahahaha.
Yeah you guys can take a nap I got this.
Oops. I guess not everything is weak to bolt 3.
Of course, Pyra does it faster.
And it's not like we need the MP for much of anything.
Fuck, this shit is too easy now.
I should just buy back the storm sword and put it on Codex so Pyra can carry the light swod and activate it every turn at no cost.
Everything in front of us suffers and dies.
One of the paths from the spinner leads back to the torch path, so I decide to go ahead and follow it.
Another rare enemy that survives bolt 3.
Torches not as constant now. Might be getting close to.... whatever.
Huh, they resist ice?
Still frigging weak though.
Figured I should check the melee damage at least once. It is higher than the active ability by a bit.
Oh cool, another of these doors.
Holy shit, these things are actually dangerous!
Yeah this is not my ideal ambush scenario.
That... sucked. A lot.
Luckily Bolt 3 cures what ails you. With death.
Maybe this only works OUT of battle?
That shit doesn't do anything at all does it?
Pyra pulls through for us so we can keep going.
Awesome cutscene time! Amazing what you can do with 3 frames of animation looped + a slowly scrolling background, mirrored on the reverse trip.
Shit. I remember that line. We try to back up.
Uh oh.
I think they assumed we were going to move forward here.
Given our current state? That sounds likely. Wait. He's a good guy isn't he?
Quel horreur!
So what you're saying is we need the power of a tranny?
Amusing timing on that.
Just to be safe.
This is probably pointless. If we get attacked having full hp won't matter.
Nope, only here for the pillaging and raping.
Gah. Cockblocked by our own father. What an ass!
Can't you just fit through those bars? I mean the gap is like twice the size of your head.
You'd think the family resemblance would give it away. I mean, we're both walking tin cans in epic glowing armor right?
Oh, so he's probably like, a zombie now or something.
Fortunately, we have a 'FATE unlock code'. This situation can be remedied.
Fuck no. We'll find it and let you out though. After we loot all those chests behind other doors like this one.
Don't suppose you have any other bits of equipment on you? If your crown was that strong I bet your dress is better than a lightrobe. You should take it off and give it to Pyra. You know, for luck.
Codex's neanderthalian intellect is warning him that perhaps looking for mortred while Milo is dead is a bad idea. Maybe.
Pyra's own Clevian intellect concurs.
But fuck them, maybe we should press on anyways?

You're playing it blind, right? Then I shouldn't say anything. But whatever you do next, it won't be the LAST thing you do, alas. There'll be one more thing to do after that.
Also, be sure to
bring Jessa to the tavern first before returning her to the castle when it's all said and done; you can even take her to the tavern twice for some additional dialogue

I've actually played before about this far, but it was a long, long time ago. I'm pretty sure I got the cell key but got stuck shortly after that. It's all pretty blurry though, I think I got to like level 60 or something from wandering around trying to find where I needed to go.
Edit: Hmm, next update got too long, I'llave have to break it into two parts. /GRRM

Update time! (You know I would have put it up yesterday if more than one person had actually replied.)
We decide the best course of action is to leave immediately and go troll the king about how we found his daughter and left her rotting in the dungeon.
Alas, no such trolling is possible. Nobody gives a fuck that we found the princess unless we bring her with us, apparently.
Indeed I would sir.
That is so freaking awesome.
Yeah, we don't really need that peace spell any more.
He can't even hit us very hard any more.
Another one? dicks.
Uh oh.
Really? Cause you're not actually stopping us right now. We could move another 3 steps pretty easily.
Gragt is gonna be SO butthurt.
That's actually kinda funny when you think about it.
Dun dun dun!
The change in music here is pretty cool.
That is one bitchin set of equipment pops.
Not that he was moving all that fast to begin with.
Dang.
Holy fuck! He's animated!
Though he doesn't hit quite as hard as I expected.
He was faster than Milo though, before Quick got cast.
He's getting bashed pretty hard too.
That'll certainly speed things up.
Wow, this is pretty sad for a boss fight.
He's getting annihilated.
So cheesy that we can do that.
Though compared to boosted melee it's kind of a joke.
3 different frames! Holy shit!
My mind is boggled.
I want that friggin lightsaber thing he's holding, it looks awesome.
Holy fuck! It's DefJam101!
Kinda makes the whole 'Dark Knight' thing a bit funnier too.
Milo stealing our thunder.
Agh!
Pretty sure that isn't ideal form for swordsmanship.
Though it does show off your cape quite nicely.
We got a staggering 1000xp for this fight.
Yeah, I don't think the judge is going to accept that as a valid excuse for skipping out on your child support, Sir Deadbeat.
You know we could just heal you. Lots of MP left.
Yeah they fix those curse things at the shrine for like 5 gold. We can egress right now and solve that for you too.
What, no diplomacy option?
What you're dying already?
You know we also can cast REVIVE.
REVIVE 2 even.
Daddy?
Ah well, we got a key out of the deal so that seems like a fair trade. It's not like we could have just walked backwards through there and avoided the fight entirely. Probably.
Ah, now we know where this one is, on our next trip we can transfer the medal to here.
Right next to the stairs up. Nice.
Probably shouldn't dick around right now though.
Fuck the ancients, they BUILT this hellhole.
No, but our black dad told us how to pick locks before he died of alcohol poisoning.
Oh, maybe it is.
Couldn't we have just like, held your hand then cast egress or something?
Well, at least it's an awesome looking key.
Don't get your head stuck in the gate.
You're not another trap are you? That would really suck.
Poor dear. We've been bathing in gore all day and clearly don't need one at all.
There are Fates as well as Ancients? Well, if the Fates didn't build this place I guess they aren't the biggest dicks around, at least.
Oh you know, the usualy way.
Can't open a door without a little patricide.
Yeah, I'm sure piling more curses on the darkness will really improve the situation.
We can probably arrange that.
What? Fuck off you stink. Walk back yourself.
Holy shit she's some sort of awesome Xena chick!
Or not.
Milo has his spellbook filled now.
Pyra is close. Back to town now though.
Yeah, I figured we could spend a night or 300 with the princess before heading back.
My new waifu of course.
Seems like everyone in the kingdom except Lupo is pretty dense.
And you never would have if I weren't a creepy perverted fuck that dragged her to a seedy inn after she was locked in a dungeon for weeks.
Yeah but man does she ever smell bad. We should have found one of those water basins before leaving the dungeon.
You could apologize for being a pussy and giving up on her.
Hands off oldfag, she's MINE.
Yeah, like leaving so we can spend some alone time together.
Yeah your place is rather pathetic.
Unlike Vik, who is
enough to scowl while being embarassed.
Well, it's the only place in the kingdom with a bed as far as I can tell.
Bah, you suck.
We came back in ebcause you dicks kicked us out!
Thats the plan.
Of course not.
Does he have legs? I've never seen him move from that spot.
But thou must!
Ah well, fun time is over.
Spoilsport. Totally not sharing my awesome treasure hoard with you.
To the castle!
Yep.
Don't mind us, just waiting here for some gratitude.
Any gratitude at all.
Yeah they better not be.
Oh sweet. Thats like, an actual fucking reward.
I'm sure Milo will tell us exactly what it does.
Yeah you helped us out so much with all that, uh... hey Vyrun!
Pfft, then I wouldn't have a monopoly on all this awesome loot.
Probably not.
Wow, thanks for the totally subtle foreshadowing dude.
Yeah he looks just ecstatic doesn't he?
Oh no! Not bad weather!
Holy fuck. I bet next he'll start putting potholes in the roads.
Indeed! If I don't update again with a couple days everyone will accuse me of abandoning this shit.
Useful-interesting or trivia-interesting?
Well, since he's not around now, I suppose he got his ass handed to him.
I R PSYKIK!
I know, it totally sucks. Now I'm stuck with Pyra again.
Actually the only one here who mentioned you was Yeesh, and he wanted me to just leave you there and keep exploring the dungeon. Would certainly have let me fit a lot more fighting in this update.
So, what is this thing?
And he gives us the exact same description as the heal ring. Lame.
You could, you know, help?
Our waifu left us.
Totally want my revenge on Vik.
What, like I wasn't already?
Yeah I'm amazed we didn't murder you so we could stay here with the princess too.
What, you think just because we're black we were gonna just rape her? HUH? RACIST!
Oh ok then.
I know, what awful writing. Truly whoever managed the writers for this project must have been a cruel, heartless bastard.
I'm thinking Boost + repeatedly hitting him in the face.
Uh, no.
That would be helpful if we knew where those were.
Well, thats almost something, except we had to go there anyways.
CODEX gonna have to slap a bich and get some tears huh? No problem.
Man we are so fucking rich now.
