 Considering the ramp of difficulty and the possibility of killing a god later in the game, we can make it legal.

[inaluct]

Hurrah! I can burn grass off of rocks! Take THAT, nature!

I forgot how easy this game was. I just downloaded it and played a little. I recruited a soldier named Nero and got him the Centurion emblem in the first engagement you fight after being able to recruit people. I'm gonna find a way to play this online with people.

Ohhhhhh snap.

I'm going to make a deathsquad for the characters produced by this LP to fight! And then I will start hurling gauntlets at Shoruke. I'm sure there's a way to set up an internet link battle.

[Shoruke]

Ummmmm... I suppose, if you know a way to change the save files from VisualBoyAdvance to NoCash, then you could make your deathsquad on the second NoCash screen and just mail it to me. Or something.

Or if you have some other way to do it that works too.

[Shoruke]

Okay I downloaded it... any idea how I can convert my old standard save file to play on this emulator? I kinda don't want to have to go through the first section of the game again and recreate all those characters.

[inaluct]

Don't do it. We can figure it out when the time comes.

Hopefully.

My neutral earth dragon has all the stats to turn into a Naga (it's level 13), but it won't turn. :<

I was hoping to have an upgraded dragon before Rana Sea.

[Shoruke]

If your dragon is level 13 already, you better wait for the LP to catch up... unless you want to do lvl 50 battles, which can be pretty epic.

P.S. I'm out of town until Friday evening, so no updates for a while. Sorry for any inconvenience.

[inaluct]

I just killed the second quest leader in ~5 turns. My levels vary from like 19 to 10. I'll wait for all of you to catch up before gaining any experience.

[Dragooble]

if i may, i would like to request a character.

Dragooble
Blademaster
Fire or earth, whichever would be better.
male (obviously)

[Archangel]

So what is my element?

[Boksi]

Hmmmm. I read through all that and it seems like you could use someone to become a valkyrie. It's the closest thing to a viking this game has, and I'd like to offer my services.

Boksi sounds way to masculine to me though. Try Boka instead.

Also, I've started playing this game myself. It's fun enough.

to tell you he truth, i was a bit torn between a valkyrie or a blade(sword?) master.

[Glacies]

Well, I suppose I'll join in, too.

Male knight. "Glacies" earth element, lawfull. Two-handed swords. Very heavily armored rather than mobile, so glass pumpkins are okay. No backstabbing. That's dishonorable.

[Shoruke]

Spoiler: Fight (click to show/hide)

So I'm just a LITTLE sick of not having any money at all, and very little Stuff of Pwnage. So I'll just go do quest mode.


You remember that book we got when we cleared Formido? This is it.





Yes, they actually let you pick how hard it's going to be. You can choose either Kill The Leader or Kill Them All, and you can choose any number of turns from 1~99. Based on your choices, if you win you get prizes, and obviously the harder you make it on yourself the better loot you get. "Kill the Leader in 99 turns" is just begging for a healing leaf. Also, if you do better than your goal (i.e. you allow yourself 25 turns and you get it done in 12 turns), the prize you are given is determined by the goal, not how fast you actually did it.

Anyway, despite that the enemies are level 15 and we're level 5, I figure we're up for the challenge.



Problem is, quests are 5 on 5 battles instead of the 8 on 8 stuff we're used to. Which means that swarming their leader is harder because our swarm is smaller. Ya know? Anyway, Inaluct and I are ninjas (who walk on water), Aqizzar can fly, Joshua needs to get some kills in (it COULD happen), and Strife is water elemental and has a ranged attack.



Wow, check out her goods. She's got elemental chainmail, and a katana. Katanas are interesting weapons, and ninjas get weapon preference from them, and they're always elemental, but their biggest downfall is that they start to suck once you're done with Arena.

The problem with that problem is that we are NOT past Arena, so katanas are +2 Weapons of Kickass. And she has one. Goddammit. Anyway, FIGHT!



Shoruke: Well F***. How the hell am I supposed to keep up with this? I only have 17% chance of hitting?
Calais: You AREN'T supposed to keep up with me. I'm level 15! And I'm a ninja! My AGI score is ridiculous compared to yours!
Strife: Well at least if we hit her we get an instant level up, right?!?
Shoruke: Nope. No exp in quest mode.
Strife: NOOOOO!
Aqizzar: Yeah that's kinda lame.
Enemy Archer: *shoots*



Shoruke: F***ing OWWW! What the hell is this?!? An archer that can DO DAMAGE, who the hell allowed this?!?
Joshua: Um, Shoruke. I think this might be a "difference in levels" thing, not a "rogue programmer" thing.
Shoruke: I could just cry...





Inaluct: Oh man I think I'm going to cry too...



Shoruke: And then the target runs away to hide behind her meat shields. *sob*



It will suffice to say, that we were all dead within three turns.
Shoruke: Well that was bunk. Let's just do the storyline battle then.






*this is despite the Owls and Crickets background noises*



Cybil: Hey look, it's a ninja that looks a bit like Shiven.
Shoruke: Shush, he'll hear you.
Ninja: *walks calmly away*





Voice From the Shadows: Middle Aged Man sent us here to pwn your ass and stop you from getting 'it'!
Shoruke: Quick question though.
VFtS: 'kay, shoot.
Shoruke: Why are you called "Voice From the Shadows" when you're STANDING IN PLAIN SIGHT?
VFtS: ...Fine you can call me Sitri, since you somehow manage to know all of you're enemies' names once you start fighting them.
Shoruke: Sounds great. Time to roast some barely-plot-related ass. Alright, EVERYONE FORM UP! Duke, Okenido, and ArcAngel, you guys go around the house to the left. Aqizzar, you just head straight and fly on top of the houses and rain shortbow death from up there. Joshua, just kinda hang back for a bit and alternate between healing and picking off wounded, straggling enemies. The rest of us are going to charge straight forward madly. GO!







Shoruke: So it belongs to Ivanna? Oh wait right, Ivanna's UNCLE, Naris Batraal, a.k.a. Middle Aged Man. Sorry, continue talking.








Shoruke: How ya figure?


Shoruke: So... you're another 'filler enemy', even though you're actually related to the plot? Wut wut wut what is this? And besides you still haven't said how I'm responsible for killing your family.
Sitri: You remember Casandra?!?
Shoruke: ...Um, nope.
Sitri: She probably ambushed you in Vespa at some point?
Shoruke: Oh right. That lame archer chick.
Sitri: SHE WAS MY SISTER!
Shoruke: Ah. So it's all my fault because of the country I was born in. Makes sense.



ArcAngel: Gah. Die punk!



Shoruke: Not bad ArcAngel.
ArcAngel: A-thank you.
Shoruke: But this is how it's REALLY done.





ArcAngel: Oh shut up, ya showoffy bastard.
Duke: Yeah jeez, stop flaunting your Main Character-ness.
Sitri: Haha! Time to do something an actual ninja might do! I'm going to take out the flying character with shurikens!



Aqizzar: omigodI'monfire
Okenido: Umm, this is Tactics Ogre, not the Decline of Video Gaming.
Aqizzar: Sorry, I'm just surprised is all. I didn't expect to get hit up here.
Strife: Well, ignoring Aqizzar's utter shock at being attacked while on a rooftop, I think it's time to face my own problem: namely, my uselessness.





Strife: Finally! I did it, I killed someone!
Duke: Awesome! I'm so inspired I'm gonna go try out this new trident I got.



Duke: Well that wasn't so bad, especially considering I'm at the 2-square range.
ArcAngel: What does it matter if you're 2 squares away instead of 1?
Duke: With whips and spears, you do full damage to the square next to you, and about 3/4 (IIRC) damage to the square 2 spaces away from you.

*some distance away*
Aqizzar: Well, I guess I'm not as safe up here as I want to be, what with shurikens and crossbows, so I'll just hop off the building and...





Aqizzar: Not the greatest performance... but I did my part...
Inaluct: Now I'll just soften this guy up a bit more with shurikens... I'd outright kill him with my fancy rapier, but Joshua needs the kills more than I do. Fireball!



Joshua: Thanks much, Inaluct. DIE!





Joshua: Okay, that's one kill, now I just need 2 more and I can be a wizard right?
Shoruke: Yup, you got it. And now it's time to do what the main character does best in this game: charge recklessly!





Shoruke: Umm, I mean, uh, charge... bravely. Yeaaaah.
Okenido: Suuuure.
Sitri: Oh yeah?!? Well it's time to do what ninjas do best in this game!
Shoruke: Gather information off-screen?
Sitri: No that's just Shiven. Guess again.
Aqizzar: Toss shurikens?
Sitri: No we're actually not all that great with them. Or rather, shurikens are weak.
Inaluct: Burn the grass off a rock?
Sitri: Nope we suck at magic too.
Shoruke: Speak for yourself. Okay fine, what do ninjas do best?
Sitri: Shot to the back with a katana!



Strife: Wow, aren't I kinda of a random target?
Sitri: No, you're all on your lonesome in the town square here. So I did the ninja-y thing and went for the lone target.
Okenido: Hey! That's wasn't very nice!



Sitri: Gah! Who do you think I am, Naruto?!? I'm a ninja, not a knight, I don't stand around in the open and only fight back only when provoked! Take this in return!



Okenido: Well actually you kinda WERE standing around in the open... and why are you here again? Because the Lodisians killed your parents?
Sitri: ...
ArcAngel: Burn. My turn to milk the boss for exp!





ArcAngel: Man, but does punching this guy in the back ever teach you a lot.
Duke: It's because he's level 9 and you're level 3.
ArcAngel: Level... level 9?!? What the hell, our most experienced person is Shoruke, and he is (okay okay, WAS at the start of the battle) level 5!
Cybil: Actually, the way this works is that I'm always 2 levels above Shoruke, and Sitri is 2 levels above our strongest member... which is me.
Joshua: Well that's kind of lame. On a much less lame note, DIE! Evil Cleric Style Falcon Punch!!!





Joshua: 2 down!
Enemy Witch: Yeah well now that it's turn 3, I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING!
Inaluct: Hah! Witches fail.











Inaluct: Okay witches suck at combat but damn is she hot...
Shoruke: No! Inaluct! Snap out of it!
Inaluct: Are you kidding?!? Suddenly she's so hot I'm going to fight to the death for her cause! Take this Aqizzar! Bad Memories Attack!





Aqizzar: Aah! Shurikens! Jump off the roof, jump off the- hey- wait- goddammit!
Strife: Well, ignoring Inaluct's sudden crush on the enemy's spellcaster for a sec, I guess it's time to do some mopup work. Die enemy ninja!





Okenido: Aah, hey that was me!
Strife: Oops, s***.
Aqizzar: Inaluct! Wakey-wakey time!







Inaluct: Huh? Whuh? Eh?
Shoruke: He's fine, just disoriented.
Enemy Witch: Well now that I have some MP charged up I'm going to screw your whole team over with status-inducing spells!





ArcAngel: Not from the front you're not.
Enemy Witch: Noooo! Why aren't you asleep?!?
ArcAngel: 2 Reasons. One, status spell have a severely sucky chance to hit. And two, I'm looking RIGHT AT YOU. I saw it coming.
Enemy Witch: What?!? You mean that if you can see it coming you can resist status spells?!?
ArcAngel: Apparently.
Shoruke: Yeah it's kinda like MY FIST!





Joshua: Or mine!





Joshua: Okay let's see this thing.



Joshua: Well it's pretty and all... but does it do anything?
Shoruke: Take a peek at your alignment. You're neutral now, so you can be a wizard.
Joshua: Teh yayz!
Shoruke: Indeed.
Cybil: Whatever, you idiots! I've humored your fanatical obsession with loot, but now that you've killed all the enemies but Sitri, I'm going to claim the finishing blow!
Shoruke: No don't! You're a guest character, you can't get experience, you'll waste his level 9-ness!
Cybil: ...Oops. I already cast the spell.







Shoruke: Well that WAS pretty epic, so I guess I'll let it slide.
Cybil: You'll let it slide? Don't forget who owes whom their life.
Shoruke: Umm, let's just go to the cutscene. Right after loots.

Spoiler: CutScenes (click to show/hide)

Rictor: We got pwned by the wussy-ass undeads in Gryllus. So we figured we'd just travel in the opposite direction and hope to meet you.
Shoruke: Well Rictor, currently there are some storyline holes I think we should fill in.





Shoruke: What the hell kind of answer is that?





Orson: Epic shut-down...
Rictor: Isplain?







Rictor: Okay I can understand not being able to return RIGHT NOW because you owe the religious freak biatch your life, but why not just return once you've paid her back?





Shoruke: I like being the main character and being allowed to command the troops. I never get to do that when I'm under your command.
Rictor: What the crap. Cybil's brainwashed you, hasn't she.



Cybil: None of your business.







Rictor: RAGE!!!
Shoruke: Wow. Glad I left. You've changed, dude.





Shoruke: We kinda already established that I owe Cybil my life and I'm working for her. Um, aren't I the one that's supposed to be Captain Obvious?
Rictor: F*** you! I'm leaving.
Orson: Wait for me!

*change of setting*






Shoruke: That's great and all, but I think it's time for this game's Main Character Breakdown.



*random guy enters*


Random Guy: Nope. It's raining, and even if it wasn't, there's rocks and stuff. SO TOUGH S***! *leaves*
Cybil: Well it looks like we're going into the ocean by foot.
Shoruke: ...lolwut?
Cybil: Well, it was edited out of the LP because Shoruke got impatient with the cutscenes, but the Random Guy said if we capture a mermaid she'll run off to the mermaid sanctuary, which is thankfully pretty close to land.
Shoruke: Well whaddaya know.
Cybil: EPIC STORY CHOICE!
Shoruke: You mean the question where my answer determines the storyline for the rest of the game?
Cybil: Yes. That choice.
Shoruke: Well Shiven kicks Orson's ass hands down, and I like you better than RAYGE-ing Rictor, so I guess we're going with...



Shoruke: I'll try to get the spear for you, but I don't want to hurt a mermaid. They're so cute! And they're half-naked women!
Cybil: Fine. Do it some other way then.
Shoruke: 'kay.

*Cutscene #3*



Ivanna: Well no S*** Shoruke. Looks like you got your Captain Obviousness back from Rictor.
Shoruke: S***.
Ivanna: It's not so bad.
Shoruke: I suppose... anyway, we're going through Bison, which is basically the same as Ardea was but with dragons, and then we're going to go to Rana and capture a mermaid.

I'll try to get some shopping/recruiting/class changing done when I get back from lunch.

Next on LP TO:KoL, Bison! Which is a place, not an animal.

[Duke 2.0]

 Well damn. I wanted to wrestle a buffalo.
