Which is a good thing, as I seem to be
stuck here.
When I sat down to play over lunch, I
figured I'd do the Pirate's Hook level because it sounded quick and
easy. Turns out I was wrong. It's amazing how easy it is to get
lost on a ship...
But anyway, the area I'm in. It's
called the SS Buccaneer, the ship of the Penguin Pirates. And I
can't seem to find my way off the damned thing. I think I know what
the quest I'm supposed to do here is, but there was no start screen
for it, and I can't find anybody there to say what the deal is.
Remember, a few issues back, when I
talked about David and Valerie lovestruck penguins, and how David
said something about killing all the monsters? That's kind of what I
think I need to be doing here, and there's even evidence to support
that. The biggest piece is that there's a penguin in the ship's
wheelhouse who will steer the ship around and every so often send you
out to fight monsters. Unfortunately, I don't know how enthusiastic
I'm going to be about putting a million hours into testing that.
What I really want to do here is find
my way off the ship so I can go into Polpotta and ask around.
Knowing my luck, that's what I was supposed to do but didn't think of
it until it was too late. So now, I'm stuck futzering around on this
stupid pirate ship until I figure out how to get the hell off.
So after a while longer fighting
monsters for the guy driving the ship and not getting anywhere, I
checked my strategy
guide and found that I needed to find the pirate captain, a
walrus named Tusk.
To get off the ship this time, I just had to tell the man that I
didn't like his boat, and he let me off.
Even though this didn't quite work out
the way I'd hoped, I did get another dungeon on the map. No mission
to go with it, in this case, so I hope I didn't wind up fucking
myself as a result. Maybe that thing about checking in Polpotta is
what I should try next time I actually sit down to play next time.
But for now, I just went back to my
house. Got a Diceberry, which is a strawberry that looks like a
six-sided dice, and an Apricat, which would be an apricot that looks
like a cat's face. Like I said, there's some weird produce in this
game. And the aquatic egg I may have forgotten to mention awhile ago
hatched into a sand crab. Named that Harold.
So, even if this didn't work out quite
as planned, I guess it wasn't a total bust. Hopefully, next time
I'll actually have a quest to talk about instead of me just having
a derp day. Until then, have fun, stay safe, and keep gaming!
