I learned nothing
Tempted to record video next time, even censoring the bits might be easier than these stupid screenshots. Maybe. Or I could just use less screenshots
I was going to move a lot of the text into the spoiler tags again, but f that I'm going to bed
I feel like I did this very wrong (the screenshotting/commentary that is) but I honestly had fun so
The brainers have decided I'm insane, and not "the fun kind". (I was working towards an onsen, but then realized we're not that far away from recruiting Warriors. I'm glad we can research radar without, uh, having one XD)
Went on a recruitment trip to Jackstown. 5 superior gals, a score of peasants, and a cute runt. I also hired a team of explorers to survey the continent a bit. 35k for 40 days, not too bad, and they promise to sing our praises along the road.
Valuable coins are valuable, who'da thunkit? Especially to the banking... goblins.
A brainer got hungry and suggested we go out monster hunting sometime. No wonder we pay them the big bucks. We also studied the dismantled radar, just in case we want to rebuild it someday. Aheh.
Still no sign of Idunno... Where could they be???
Apparently the seas still carry piracy of a different sort
Note to self: Don't get hurt
Is this what we've been reduced to?
Wait, where are the new recruits? It's the 5th, shouldn't they be here- I didn't actually hire them?? That's it, I'm giving up grog! Not really but I probably should!
Uhhhhh no no this is fine! Nina, grab a backpack, you're going for a walk.
...No we're not kicking you out, this is an important mission! Okay fine, Hairy Spike will go with you. You big baby. (Expeditions have 2 "pilots" minimum heh).
Delay a few hours, then... off you go.
Let's hope they can't reach Sri Lanka by foot in 41 hours, because I did not arm them.
Brainers figured out how to make this replacement radar. Tiny range but comes with some nice, oddly warm bunks. Tempting. Though we actually get better radar (750) from walking outside... Who needs technology with uber-eyeballs?
Are they SWIMMING??
...I only read it for the VooDoo!
YES! They were getting pretty close.
The ubers are still a few days out, but I'm sure you girls will do fine. Grab some gear and let's ride! Dammit I should have made you militia outfits, no time now though.
Oh jeez we need more handles... and bandages... and guns, but these crappy handguns will do against rats. Got some shotguns anyway. And hey, the one situation where pocket las are useful!
Bzz Nina, do you copy? Yeah uh head back home, thanks
what a clusterf
Immediately a near casualty, as a rat survives a shotgun blast
...Another rat manages to "push the shotgun aside", mega-killing another peasant. Frigg's sake, people.
One down and two bleeding out, only 5 bandages to go around - AGH could you HIT with the longsword, please?? SMG-gal would fire but fears the rat's "ninja powers".
Three gals wiffed all melee attacks, finally did this. Missed the girls, got the rat though.
Welp there goes Miss Belle, and both bandages we slapped on her
Her nearly dead companion Miss "Hangman" wiffs three times, because of course. Starting to think it's shotguns or nothing here. And friendly fire is becoming less of a concern by the second.
We have 2 bandages. Triage identifies you as "bait"
What do you mean you can't see in the dark??
Valerie Despacito finally gets a reaction shot, only to miss entirely with her shotgun. There's... only 4 gals left, soon to be 3.
No, Lara Grayjoy pulls off the clutch win! Tanks a rat bite without damage (wowzers) and fries its head off! Valerie will live to take up a bunk!
Oh no, a Critter Awareness Teammember died. Also: oh gods we're so screwed
Lara Grayjoy MVP. Tess... WTF, Tess?
L-look, technically we made a profit! (I did not sell everything)
Oh huh, Lara Grayjoy was also the one who accidentally a murder. Eh, I blame the rats.
(I love this report)
Do the bikes unfold into jetskis?
Some general supplies, maybe a bit much but we've got dosh
Interesting alternative to walking, but slower than bikes and costs fuel (chemicals)
Oh joy, a temple raid right next door! Ideal!
Oh, Nina Churchland crossed the ocean by becoming a deep one I see
Nice positioning!
Gal on left: fires pocket las once, misses
Altar boy: Reaction fires into the ground, the gal next to him, the gal on the left, then the gal next to him *again*. Adjacent gal took 1 damage, gal who was hit once took 20 and 3 wounds. RNG~~
Oh hello mr shotgun
Wow I didn't think that molotov would reach, yay high ceilings
I like using the pillars as cover
stupid corners
Wow, after 3 turns on fire the priest casually flamer'd a gal. That's some impressive willpower. She'll... probably live? Panicked immediately of course, staying in the fire, so maybe not.
Dammit two clubbings to the back of the head and he's still up!
He turned and flamed her directly, killing her and himself as well. What a nutjob. And there's someone I missed, apparently, so Lucy Shea is gonna burn to death too.
Yep. And I guess I missed 3 people, because I got a sharp guy and another altar boy. The altar boy tried to handle Coconut Monkey... cute. She gotten a lot of KOs with that shield this battle.
Argh, a shrine maiden down and there's *still* someone out there! I'd been taking uber nightvision for granted. The peasants are also panicking almost constantly, guess they're scared of the dark.
Today I learned that a berserk peasant will throw molotovs. No one was harmed, this time.
Two altar boys and a savvy gal were hiding in the dang corner! A gal charged into melee, but got shot dead regardless. Probably because she wasn't skilled at melee. Shot them dead... one of them took 6 las shots though :/
ARGH STOP RUNNING YOU'RE SURROUNDED
FINALLY
One of the acolytes killed enough with a shotgun, and I guess the priest killed himself with "friendly fire", hence the 4 kills and 6 dead heh. Doesn't look impressive, but the 7 hostages will pay off, and the loot was pretty good. Oh and they honed their skills a *lot*, forgot to record that. Almost everyone is more brave now.
White Shamblers are big and strong, thanks doc. At least we can butcher them now.
tell us your secrets
Our names are superior
Made some handles and molotovs- oh right, we need cute sailor outfits and militia garb!
Altar boy: Did you know you can loot stuff when you win fights?
Us: You realize four of us died capturing you?
Another temple raid! In...
Australia The Death Realms? I'm pretty sure the bus wouldn't have been able to make it. Fortunately we have bikes!
Dreadlock Constrictor has 11 strength. Grog dammit, she can't even carry the barbarian shield. We need warrior recruitment yesterday...
Oh jeez this trip is going to take like a week. Dogs! We need dogs for base defense!
RIP Dreadlock Constrictor. You couldn't hold a shield, so you got oneshot around a blind corner.
It's a lot easier to hunt in the bright desert sun! Damned hot, though.
Ohai random acolyte, we don't feel like firing on you for some reason so feel free to down two peasants with two bullets. Sweet dreams bucko!
Lara Grayjoy handles the priest and a sharp guy, totally forgiven for that murder thing.
Mysterious explosion in the balcony, none of were hurt. Don't play with fire, dummies!
I'm pretty pleased with this (:
Behold, the beginnings of competence
Why would we ever need two prisons, I said.
Nice ransom, though I'd rather get it in blue chips...
The voodoo who do what you don't dare to
Huh, apparently we haven't found any young ubers yet, so we can't research The Most Common Superpower for now. Onsen, so close but so far.
B-boy told us about his supplier
Okay yes, I let the sharp guys go, but look what we got in exchange!
Shrine maiden told us about "charming" people. The church is so strange.
Barracks finally finished, which means more runts soon! Gotta maximize that grog production
Also room for more recruits, as soon as we convince some actual warriors to talk to us.
Giant cockroach skin is apparently "chitin" and one brainer things we should cover ourselves in it.
One of the hoes had a strange suggestion, not sure how I feel about it
Tough guy talked about his homeland. Sounds awful.
...Okay, another temple raid, but this time someone's paying us for it! Moving on up in the world! Should be less well defended, but we have to be discrete on the approach. We were already pretty discrete... But the barbarian shields stay home this time.
Nice of him to walk out the front door!
Pretty straightforward
Water Tarantula got surprised by a tough gal with a shotgun, though. Was over in an instant. On the plus side, lots of shiny coins!
A watchtower! I feel like the game is being nice (:
EZ PZ, 4 hostages and no complications (aside from dragging a GO away from the door before we asploded it). Not much reward either of course.
This'll be nice... someday, when we have 10 medical supplies
This is good, but we only have a dozen apples for now
We figured out that "rare earth elements" help us feel better outside the zones. That's nice I guess, but why would we want to leave the zones? They're so cozy and "warm".
This is much more fun!
And THIS is MUCH more useful! oof, 100k each though.
At least they come with a bit of armor.
A neophyte showed us how to use his glowy doodad to play "Tetris". Productivity is plummeting. On the bright side, we can read people's "emails" off such "computers" for potentially useful data. It's like interrogating someone twice!
Savvy girl told us some people sign documents with rings. I think she's broken.
We also figured out what that "wrench" I bought is for: bonking heads and stripping armor. And some runt stuff I guess, they swear they learned something important for "later".
Tough gal told us a horror story about "deep ones", lizard people who attack jetskis. Suuuuure.
B-boy showed us some more "consumer goods". How decadent, but valuable.
An altar boy disappeared, and I got this explanation. Uhmmm O_o
A working girl showed us, uh, a charm technique. But apparently we have to dress ridiculously in order to use it.
lmao
A gal taught us about the Death Realms. Thanks, we've been. Gravball sounds fun though.
Nothing much going on, so we invented Gymnastics to pass the time. It's a sport where you punch a guy named Gym, but you can't use weapons.
General Operators (sometimes named Gym)
He told us that it's easier to build facilities "over" old ones, instead of digging entirely new rooms. Brilliant advice, Gym, let's play a game.
We need craft weapons! And craft!
Well, it's been an interesting month. Maybe. It started pretty crazy, but we really we just knocked over some stargod-bootlickers and road bikes.
We're making good progress towards... uh, a lot of things
Specifically we're not far from a dojo, which would really help these peasants get some baseline skill. Though it wouldn't increase their strength at all.
Still no sign of Idunno, hope they're okay. I've started making my own moonshine, though. Got a bit bored of grog.
I can't believe we're fricking alive
Someone take this stupid hat, I need a drink.
Yeah uh I'm fine with only one month in retrospect XD
I urge whomever's next to not take 61 screenshots, learn from my mistakes
Oh dangit I need to upload the save. Uh... oh, zip it, okay:
http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=14460Ironman is kinda exhilarating I suppose, at least for these early months.
And yes I dorfed myself and Idunno as runts, seemed the safest option at least for now
Good luck Robsoie!
