I've never done this part with the green soldier's outfit.
We go through a secret passage that leads to the rich guy's manor.
I do some more snooping and come across this,
Where ARE you guys! You gotta catch stuff like this!
Anyway, we're going down the first secret passage behind the book shelf I showed you earlier.
We get the chance to change back to our regular uniform, but I'm sticking with this green getup.
Aqizar: Hey, General hottie is in there!
and she's getting the snot knocked out of her!
This line has never made sense to me. Does the game ever tells us WHAT it was that she did to get branded as a traitor? Cause I think I would have remembered that too.
Anyways,
We get to name the hottie, you know what that means!
"Oh how I love my job! Anyway, time to leave. You, make sure she stays nice and chained, I need to do some more woman-beating when I get back."
*Salute*
If people's ranks are determined by the color of outfit that people wear, then I should be a higher rank than this guy, and not have to salute him, as evidenced by letting that other guy take a break earlier.
Plot hole, or my secret desire to punch men in uniforms in the face?
Anyway, the slob goes to sleep and now can save save this woman and have her join my awesome squad of badasses.
Well... not yet...
Gonna need to turn off the lights for this one...
*REWIND! HORRIBLE SCENARIO OVERLOAD!*
Fine, be that way.
I've never seen any of the Star Wars movies, was that what you were talking about Aqizzar?
Now we gotta take this "clock key". Why he has it, who knows?
I'll tell you why!
It's a SEECRET PAAASSAGE! Who saw that one coming?!
Now we have this giant, empire-infested pseudo-maze to traverse, but fortunately, there's oodles of treasure to be had!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot to equip poor Random with stuff! She starts off naked you see. Naked and chained. Mmmm...
Any objections? I'll be updating her equipment again in a second.
FIGHT!
We got some new guys here, Commanders. They don't really command anything, except their own death. By me.
No better time to show off Random's amazing powers.
TASTE ICE LASERS!
Yeah!
Now for more treasure, let's get the best stuff first!
I'm standing roughly in the center of tihs hollowed out piece of wall, if you walk left from here...
You'll find a secret stairway!
One of the best items in the game is in this basement, and you don't want to miss it!
and, if you look slightly below that treasure chest...
*drumroll*
a Ribbon! Protects against every status ailment in the game. It's a wonderful item. Saving it for later though, cause the only status ailment we might run into is poison, and I need a reason to burn these antidotes.
Go back up and look around and you'll invariably run into these,
I'm not sure what's up with that one open chest, it's like that when you get here.
Just give that sword to Random here...
Now she has a respectable weapon!
Oh, also,
She has cure and antidote. Almost forgot to tell you guys!
Our last valuable treasure of the day is...
Earrings! An item that increases magic damage by 25% IIRC. Gonna put those on Random for now.
Now let's get out of here... FIGHT!
These "Vector Pups" are surprisingly cowardly. The moment one'em are the last enemy alive, their next action is ALWAYS escape.
"Were you in a magazine? Empire Monthly? Best centerfold ever."
This update is getting kinda long, so let's get a move on!
Into the cave we go!
FIGHT!
I'm pretty sure I didn't show you the purple guys before.
So yeah, that's that.
Make our way through the cave...
Let's just heal up and BOSS FIGHT!
Alright, This guy is DrillMech or Tunnelarmr or something, he casts hella strong spells, fortunately, with Random in our party, she can do something special.
She can use "runic" which will preemptively catch most spells, negate their harmful effects, and transform them into MP for her to use at 50% the spell cost. It's really awesome when performed correctly.
Also you can steal an Air Lancet from this guy. It'll be more valuable later. Maybe.
This battle's not particularly hard, just so long as you keep the runic up, more like a battle of attrition really, just gotta keep on attacking and NO! I FORGOT ABOUT THE PHYSICAL ATTACKS! RANDOM'S DOWN!
QUICK! FENIX DOWN!
Rub feathers on her face, it'll surely snap her out of it!
Phew, that was a close one, I revived her before the metal bastard could get another spell off. The great thing about runic is that the effect persists so long as:
1) Random's alive.
2) Her current runic hasn't been used up by a spell.
3) She hasn't 'cancelled' her runic by selecting another command INCLUDING another runic.
Take that you metal motherfucker!
