This didn't go exactly the way I
thought it would.
And it's not just because “July”
doesn't start with an “A”.
In this case, it turns out that
everybody in the Dwarf Village seems to have buggered off somewhere,
leaving me with no more clues than I had at the end of the last
issue. Since that was how it was, I found my way out of the village
and Gaia's Navel as well. This landed me with no real idea as to
where to go, and when I found the Cannon Travel guy, I had him shoot
the party off to the Water Palace.
At the Water Palace, Luka tells us that
Jema's overdue getting back from Pandora and wonders what's keeping
him. I guess that's our cue to go to Pandora again to find the guy.
It's sure not said in as many words. Either way, that's where we'll
go.
Jema's not in the castle like he was
last time. All that's going on there is the king having a panic
attack over the idea of getting invaded by the Empire while his
people are all zoned out, which kind of makes sense. All the other
clues right now point to the ruined temple or whatever in the south
part of the town.
On the way there, the party runs into
Rose's friend Phanna, who gets beamed off to the ruins right in front
of them. Fortunately, the ruins aren't that far away, and the party
meets up with her at the entrance to the main structure. Phanna
tells Rose to piss off and goes inside. Naturally, this means we'll
have to follow her in hopes of rescuing her and finding Jema.
There's lots of tough monsters inside,
and it's a bit of a maze. All of this is made worse by the fact that
I had a long day the day I played this segment and wrote the article,
so I wound up getting Rose and Mickey killed and I'm not sure I was
even on the right track.
The good news is that I can still use
the Inn in Pandora Town to rest and save, so when I realized it was
time to stop for the night, I used the Magic Rope to get out and go
save. I'll pick this back up again when I'm not so worn out and have
a reliable Internet connection again. Until then, stay
safe, keep gaming, have fun, and DFTBA!
