This is kind of an Indiana
Jones sort of quest, after all, I guess...
I guess it's a good thing I put the SS
Buccaneer on the map a few issues back because I've gotta make a stop
there to finish this thing. But first, the trick is going to be
getting the hell out of the Mines. This is really going to bite.
It seems like there are about a million
dead ends in this mine that went nowhere. And, of course, in the
course of bumbling around in an effort to find my way out, I came
across the start of the other quest in the mine. It involves a bird
guy who tells stories named Pokheil who wants to tell us all about
this dude named Watts, who runs a shop in the mines and likes to go
running all over hell looking for shit or something. And it's up to
us to find his sorry ass. But we're going to fuck that for now and
finish off looking for the idol that the Pirates horked from the
Dudbears.
So, once I finally get out of that
damned mine, after running around for way to long, I gotta go to the
Buccaneer to find the idol. Like I said last time I was there, it's
confusing as all hell to find my way around on there. Makes me
damned glad I was never in the Navy. I'd have wound up on a ship and
sucked hard at it. But at least it was a little easier to get around
this time.
Turns out the idol was a guy or
something, and the Penguins had stuffed him in a barrel on the lower
decks of the ship. Let him out and he runs the hell away, just like
anybody with a half an ounce of brains would do around the Penguins.
So, now it's off to Polpotta to find him on the beach in the west
part of town. Go there and talk to him. He growls like a dog or
something. The Dudbears and their priest show up and act all happy
to see him. The quest ends and all I get for it is the satisfaction
of knowing I finished it. Not quite what I'd hoped for on account of
how frustrating this turned out to be, but I'll take it just to be
done with it.
And then there's Lil Cactus's take on
the damned thing. He says it was a Macho
Man looking for his doggie in that last quest. There must be
crack in his water supply. Oh well, at least I can go look at my
garden. Lots of Peach Puppies, Apricats and Cherry Bombs this time
around. Fitting, somehow.
And I know what I said last time, but
before I go back and see what happens when I do Lucidia instead, I
think I'll close out that quest about Pokheil and Watts. That one's
called “Mine Your Own Business”. But I think before I do that,
I'll try to push ahead in the Final Fantasy text play a little bit.
Any more Legend of Mana right now might make me stab someone who
doesn't need to be stabbed.
So, until next time, whichever game I
play, stay safe, sleep well, and have fun gaming. And please, do
remember to DFTBA.
