  67. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] You know, when it comes to EO LPs, everyone is waiting with baited breath to see how the postgame superboss is tackled, the real anticipation of how much bullshit can this game really throw at you. Well, it's been a long journey, with a lot of twists and turns, good times and bad, but we're here at the end. So what's in store for us? Hehehehe... I'm glad you asked!
  68.  
  69. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] To explain everything about this boss requires the entire update, but this guy has some super devastating skills, but gives you a lot of free turns with the elementals, so of course a Protector is a must. Due to how overwhelming its physical attacks are, and with how busy your Protector is going to be, Immunize might be possible to ignore, but it forces this battle on even footing with you and allows you to start tapping away at its monumental health without endless healing and reviving. Once you have these two aspects down and don't really stray from it, you should be pretty good, since a lot of this fight's bullshit is either triggered by doing something it doesn't want you to, which we'll cover soon enough, or through rare skills at certain health thresholds. It all depends on how lucky you are, but no matter what, it's going to be a long fight, so I hope you like seeing its ugly mug, it consists of two thirds of the update!
  70.  
  71. [img]https://lpix.org/3435463/e40004.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435464/e40005.jpg[/img]
  72.  
  73. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] It's starting off with one of its deadlier skills, Rush. While Bait is going to be just wonderful in its fight, that's how much damage Primevil does with just Sapping.
  74.  
  75. [img]https://lpix.org/3435465/e40006.jpg[/img]
  76.  
  77. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Suffice to say, it's not enough. Yes, Gerson still has the Pain Shield, but that shouldn't matter.
  78.  
  79. [img]https://lpix.org/3435466/e40007.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435468/e40009.jpg[/img]
  80. [img]https://lpix.org/3435467/e40008.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435469/e40010.jpg[/img]
  81.  
  82. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Well at least it's going for me...
  83.  
  84. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] Man this is one tough cookie to crumble!
  85.  
  86. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Hmm, not even Sapping and 1st Turn Defender are enough to stop someone dying from enough Rush hits. Bit annoying.
  87.  
  88. [img]https://lpix.org/3435470/e40011.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435471/e40012.jpg[/img]
  89.  
  90. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Still, not all of its attacks are equal, Smash is usually a breather turn that won't kill anyone from full health. All of this assumes you have SOME defensive measures, since it will annihilate you with anything otherwise.
  91.  
  92. [img]https://lpix.org/3435472/e40013.jpg[/img]
  93.  
  94. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Okay, while this is showing very handily that you need Immunize for an easier time, this isn't what I'm wanting to show, it pointless going beyond turn 4 in this case.
  95.  
  96. [img]https://lpix.org/3435473/e40014.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435474/e40015.jpg[/img]
  97.  
  98. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] At least by tweaking the RNG and using a different skill at the start of the battle, we can have it use Smash instead, much better.
  99.  
  100. [img]https://lpix.org/3435475/e40016.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435476/e40017.jpg[/img]
  101.  
  102. [img]https://lpix.org/3246175/Head Wagner.png[/img] Ah, my life's worth!~
  103.  
  104. [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] Huh, where did my bloodlust go? Oh wait, it's still there, lurking forever.
  105.  
  106. [img]https://lpix.org/3435477/e40018.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435478/e40019.jpg[/img]
  107.  
  108. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Woah, I'm surprised my shield's catching all this!
  109.  
  110. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] Oh hey it grew back a tentacle you lopped off.
  111.  
  112. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] Fantastic...
  113.  
  114. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] So one of Primevil's big no-noes is having more than 9 buffs on the party. If you do, it wipes them with Resolve and then you're in big fucking trouble, since it then has a chance of using, at random, ANY of the elementals, Segment, or Pollen. We got off super fucking lightly, but it makes a Troubadour nearly impossible to use, since you can only defend against one elemental, guess wrong, you're dead. Now, sure, you CAN have Immunize and then use a song when one person is dead so everyone else benefits for the rest of the battle, but they're unable to do anything else aside from making puny potshots or using various items. For this reason, Wagner will not have a shot of killing Primevil, sorry.
  115.  
  116. [img]https://lpix.org/3435479/e40020.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435480/e40021.jpg[/img]
  117. [img]https://lpix.org/3435481/e40022.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435482/e40023.jpg[/img]
  118.  
  119. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] We're given a few turns to recover, but there's one way around Resolve.
  120.  
  121. [img]https://lpix.org/3435483/e40024.jpg[/img]
  122.  
  123. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] As you'd expect from a superboss, it uses extremely dangerous elemental attacks, but in a set pattern. Want to know it? If the turn is a multiple of 4, use Storm, multiple of 5, use Explode, and multiple of 6, use Frigid. But remember that the internal counter starts at 0, so you need to -1 from every division you do and, as we saw, turn 0 is Explode. Calculate wrong, you're dead. Oh wait, you don't know the pattern to begin with, so die lots of times to figure it out! But what about other numbers that fall under both? Don't worry, the game plans for that, if it's a multiple of both 4 and 5, use Explode, for 4 and 6, use Frigid, for 5 and 6, use Explode and for all three, use Explode. Have fun working all that out! Or just use a guide that tells you what turns you use your Anti skills on, like a savage!
  124.  
  125. [img]https://lpix.org/3435484/e40025.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435485/e40026.jpg[/img]
  126.  
  127. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Aw fiddlesticks...
  128.  
  129. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246175/Head Wagner.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] Aw fuckin cunt rag...
  130.  
  131. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Oh hey, here's the final physical attack you'll likely see, Slash, without boosted Immunize, just kills the target, it deals 800% damage, basically, no one's surviving that without a lot of damage mitigation AND Defend, if you're not using Boosted Immunize you fucking madlad. And if your Protector dies the turn before an elemental, or is otherwise incapacitated, you're fucking dead, start over. Now some of you might think, hey, to get past all the random elementals when you get stuff wrong, or to lessen a Protector dying, or to bruteforce the turn counter, you could use multiple Protectors that use different Anti skills! Great idea! Primevil accounts for that.
  132.  
  133. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] If you used two or more of the different Anti skills the previous turn, then it has a chance of using any of its most dangerous skills, Necrosis, Pollen, Cyclone, Smash or Rush at random. This AI check is the second one, so there's no way to avoid it, with one exception I'll mention later. This is also, weirdly, the only appearance of Cyclone, there's a fair few bugs and attack tables that are never used in Primevil's AI, so some of the rarer skills would've appeared in those if they weren't empty and made it use its default table. There's plenty more where that's from.
  134.  
  135. [img]https://lpix.org/3435486/e40027.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435487/e40028.jpg[/img]
  136.  
  137. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Cheers!
  138.  
  139. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] Help me, Karin, you're my only hope.
  140.  
  141. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] With some of the preamble out of the way, let's start this fight properly, with the team you voted for! You can probably guess what'll happen next.
  142.  
  143. [img]https://lpix.org/3435488/e40029.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435489/e40030.jpg[/img]
  144. [img]https://lpix.org/3435490/e40031.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435491/e40032.jpg[/img]
  145.  
  146. [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] Well that may have just stubbed your toe, uh, tentacle, whatever, but there's plenty more to come!
  147.  
  148. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] If you're basically done with the game, or don't fancy learning all the tricks and various trapfalls, then Boosted Immunize solves [sub][sub]most[/sub][/sub] of your problems! Like I mentioned, regular Immunize makes this battle a level playing field, but using Axcela IIIs and chugging them down makes this superboss a breeze! This is the one situation I would consider using them, since it's cheaper and easier to have the whole party feed Axcela IIs to your Immunizer, but we don't have the time for that, everyone has their part to play.
  149.  
  150. [img]https://lpix.org/3435492/e40033.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435493/e40034.jpg[/img]
  151.  
  152. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] And the best thing, Bait deals the same amount of damage regardless of what the attack actually did, so long as the target survives. Oh we're about to have a lot of fun.
  153.  
  154. [img]https://lpix.org/3435494/e40035.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435495/e40036.jpg[/img]
  155.  
  156. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Hah, if you're not pressing hard enough, these spikes only tickle me. Remember me, for I am the meat shield!
  157.  
  158. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] Alright, I'm standing right next to you, tone it down.
  159.  
  160. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Unfortunately Cheese is also relatively useless in this battle, especially when Boosted Immunize makes Sapping pointless. Still, Frailty and doling out items is still very helpful, but since Primevil is immune to everything bar Stun, Hexers have very little reason to be here. But we've got enough firepower that we can spare the slot. Just one though, there's not enough leeway in this fight to still include the entire guild, sorry Wagner and Cattail Prophet!
  161.  
  162. [img]https://lpix.org/3435496/e40037.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435497/e40038.jpg[/img]
  163.  
  164. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] Pathetic.
  165.  
  166. [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] Yet again, I almost feel sorry for it.
  167.  
  168. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Well, okay, I included Cheese so the postgame superboss does SINGLE DIGIT DAMAGE! Immunize is fucking broken and I love it so.
  169.  
  170. [img]https://lpix.org/3435498/e40039.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435499/e40040.jpg[/img]
  171.  
  172. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Bottoms up! Wahoo, let's get smashing face- woah!
  173.  
  174. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] Alright, I know you're excited, but focus.
  175.  
  176. [img]https://lpix.org/3435500/e40041.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435501/e40042.jpg[/img]
  177. [img]https://lpix.org/3435502/e40043.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435503/e40044.jpg[/img]
  178.  
  179. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] Well that looks pretty, wonder what it does?
  180.  
  181. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Hrgh! Who knows, little busy!
  182.  
  183. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Now this is a rare sight. So we're now in phase 2, every quarter health, Primevil changes its basic moveset and adds in some dangerous stuff. To begin with, if nothing else is triggered, it uses a variety of physical attacks, including the melee attack, which seems hilariously out of place. Once it goes below 75%, it adds Entangle and Membrane into the mix. Both of these skills are actually incredibly dangerous and if you get Primevil down to this stage around this time, then you are in a LOT of trouble, for two completely different reasons. Let's go over Membrane first.
  184.  
  185. [img]https://lpix.org/3435504/e40045.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435505/e40046.jpg[/img]
  186.  
  187. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Heyyyyyyy, Simone, when did your sword get all bennnnnndy, ehehehehe...
  188.  
  189. [img]https://lpix.org/3323737/Head%20Pearl.png[/img] Is, uh, she swaying somewhat, or...?
  190.  
  191. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] FIRE! What was that? Little busy!
  192.  
  193. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] So once it uses Membrane, it then leads into NECROSIS! That's really fucking bad, but it actually has a 20% chance of using... HP Up. Uh, yeah, that's definitely a bug, so if you've wondered why Primevil just sits there after using Membrane, congrats you got super lucky. However, it using Membrane now is amazing, since using the elementals overrides it using Necrosis, so it using this now is very helpful, it's just a load of free turns!
  194.  
  195. [img]https://lpix.org/3435506/e40047.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435507/e40048.jpg[/img]
  196. [img]https://lpix.org/3435508/e40049.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435509/e40050.jpg[/img]
  197.  
  198. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Please do remember getting the elemental pattern wrong at any point will fucking kill you. But once you get it below half health, congrats, it has a chance of doing Slash or Rush and that's it. There's space for 3 other attacks in this table, but they're all bugged and don't do anything, resulting in it using its standard physical attack table from the start of the fight. That's it, aside from the elemental pattern, so relax and let the Bait carry you to victory.
  199.  
  200. [img]https://lpix.org/3435510/e40051.jpg[/img]
  201.  
  202. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Hit me four times in a row with Slash. Do it. Doitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoit.

  206.  
  207. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] You. Piece. Of. Shit. Fucking IMAGINE how much damage we would've done if that had worked out. Well, since a direct Bait does over 1.5x an adjacent Bait, you know...
  208.  
  209. [img]https://lpix.org/3435515/e40056.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435516/e40057.jpg[/img]
  210.  
  211. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Phew, nice going everyone, we're nearly there!
  212.  
  213. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] We're somehow having an easy time. It's looking real angry.
  214.  
  215. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Ah, what's the stuuuuuuupid head gonna do, anyway? Hic!
  216.  
  217. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] ...wait a minute. Let me see that Axcela... huh, Oleander... a poisonous plant that's being combatted by her injections, turning it into something alcoholic!
  218.  
  219. [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] That makes sense.
  220.  
  221. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] This is all going nice a smoothly, I wonder if we're in the final-
  222.  
  223. [img]https://lpix.org/3435517/e40058.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435518/e40059.jpg[/img]
  224.  
  225. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Ah. So we are. Once it goes below a quarter health, then it has its physical attacks, but also NECROSIS AND ENTANGLE! You've come so far, but these two skills are so completely devastating that they'll end your run no problem, no matter how well it's going.
  226.  
  227. [img]https://lpix.org/3435519/e40060.jpg[/img]
  228.  
  229. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Uh oh.
  230.  
  231. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] Don't tell me, we're about to get hit by a huge elemental attack.
  232.  
  233. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Yep.
  234.  
  235. [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] With a slim chance of recovery?
  236.  
  237. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] Most likely.
  238.  
  239. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] Bring it on.
  240.  
  241. [img]https://lpix.org/3435520/e40061.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435521/e40062.jpg[/img]
  242.  
  243. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Because of Boosted Immunize, we are, in a pinch, able to survive ONE elemental attack. Aaaaaaand everyone attacking didn't kill it. Damn these tiny health bars. That's my bad for not having Gerson and Cheese get us out of this, but since there's no elemental attack next turn, and we should survive some physical hits, I'm sure we can-
  244.  
  245. [img]https://lpix.org/3435522/e40063.jpg[/img]
  246.  
  247. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Ah.
  248.  
  249. [img]https://lpix.org/3435523/e40064.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435524/e40065.jpg[/img]
  250.  
  251. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] ...w-what just happened?
  252.  
  253. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] Oh good, you're sobering up. I'm... not sure. They just dropped dead.
  254.  
  255. [img]https://lpix.org/3435525/e40066.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435526/e40067.jpg[/img]
  256.  
  257. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] We can salvage this. I'm not letting a 20 turn, 15 minute fight go to waste! I must succeed!
  258.  
  259. [img]https://lpix.org/3435527/e40068.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435528/e40069.jpg[/img]
  260.  
  261. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Okay. Okay. Let's reapply Immunize and then start healing everyone up. We can do this! We can make-

  264.  
  265. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Ah.
  266.  
  267. [img]https://lpix.org/3435530/e40071.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435531/e40072.jpg[/img]
  268.  
  269. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] AHHHHHHHHHHH! KARIN I LOVE YOU!!!
  270.  
  271. [img]https://lpix.org/3435532/e40073.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435533/e40074.jpg[/img]
  272.  
  273. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] You two... did your best...
  274.  
  275. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] ...sis! No! We failed...
  276.  
  277. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] We were so close... it ruined everything, I can't believe this! You bastard! I'll... kill you... I'll-
  278.  
  279. [img]https://lpix.org/3435534/e40075.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435535/e40076.jpg[/img]
  280.  
  281. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] ...kill you?!
  282.  
  283. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] ...............EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!
  284.  
  285. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] How close was it to death? How did I manage to win? The world may never know. Just remember one thing, Entangle will fuck you up.
  286.  
  287. [img]https://lpix.org/3435536/e40077.jpg[/img]
  288.  
  289. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] There's not much in celebration for winning, not even a text box. But at least you're not stuck if you didn't bring a Warp Wire, you absolute legend and Archbishop of Banterbury.

  298.  
  299. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] We're done. It's all over. That's every piece of equipment, every enemy, every drop. We've completed the game, explored every floor, seen everything there is in this game. Let's get outta here.
  300.  
  301. [img]https://lpix.org/3435539/e40080.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435540/e40081.jpg[/img]
  302.  
  303. [img]https://lpix.org/3241894/Head Quinn.png[/img] You've encountered every beast there, and retrieved every one of Yggdrasil's treasure. Your unrivalled accomplishments have helped my work in many ways. Alas... with nothing left to discover, I fear no explorers will flock to Etria any longer. ...in praise of your hard work and impressive achievement, I present you with this crown. Somewhere far from here, in a vast of foreign land... I'm certain you'll find new adventurers. I look forward to hearing stories of them. And with that, I must bid you farewell, noble members of Edda. It's been an honor.

  309.  
  310. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Phew, well wasn't that a blast? Etrian Odyssey is a strange game, filled with ridiculous designs, brutal gameplay, nonsensical story and a winding labyrinth, but it's definitely a blast to play and one I hope you've enjoyed readi-
  311.  
  312. [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] HONOUUUUUUURRRRRRR!!!
  313.  
  314. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] Hm? What's up, Aryll? You finished packing already?
  315.  
  316. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] Huff, huff, man she's fast! Uh, what Aryll means is, can we be satisfied with just this?
  317.  
  318. [img]https://lpix.org/3246173/Head Ryu.png[/img] It sounds like you had a hell of a time, but I feel like there's more to it.
  319.  
  320. [img]https://lpix.org/3246175/Head Wagner.png[/img] Oh? What do you mean? We beat the final monster, it was quite the spectacle! I assume~
  321.  
  322. [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] What, do you guys want to fight it?
  323.  
  324. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] It's only been a few hours, I would've thought I, ehehe, killed it for good.
  325.  
  326. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] No, I've scouted, it's already back.
  327.  
  328. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] ...really now? Well what are we waiting for? Let's kick its ass in such a way that it never comes back again! Give it a real challenge, it seemed sad with how it went last time.
  329.  
  330. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] Well, since the Radha is supplying us with anything we could ever need, I don't see why not. You're all itching to go!
  331.  
  332. [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] Yes! YES! I must wield the legendary blade and smote the beast from whence it came!
  333.  
  334. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] Not if I smote it first! Uh, smoted? Smitted?
  335.  
  336. [img]https://lpix.org/3246173/Head Ryu.png[/img] You'll figure it out eventually, dear.
  337.  
  338. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Alright, I'll go easy on the drugs this time, my head is still pounding.
  339.  
  340. [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] From the amount of Oleander you drank, you only had like, one beer.
  341.  
  342. [img]https://lpix.org/3246175/Head Wagner.png[/img] Well since it doesn't like my songs, poor taste, I say, you have fun, I still have a lot to pack!
  343.  
  344. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] God I can't wait to leave this shithole.
  345.

  349.  
  350. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] The end is never the end. There's still plenty to go over! Completing the game just has you start where you left off, so let's do some SHOPPING!
  351.  
  352. [img]https://lpix.org/3435551/e40092.jpg[/img]
  353.  
  354. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] The final katana is completely useless, since there's nothing new to use it on. But that doesn't mean it's not fucking amazing. We'll pick up absolutely everything we can and properly kit out everyone and really have some fun!
  355.  
  356. [img]https://lpix.org/3435552/e40093.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435553/e40094.jpg[/img]
  357. [img]https://lpix.org/3435554/e40095.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435555/e40096.jpg[/img]
  358. [img]https://lpix.org/3435556/e40097.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435557/e40098.jpg[/img]
  359.  
  360. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Here's the #squad, with the greatest equipment money can buy. Or, er, well, aside from the Holy Armor for Gerson, since I used up all the Shellord drops, but eh, cba, I'm committed to the Pain Shield! As for the Town Crown? Well, it's the Town Medal, so HP+100 and TP+50, but also ALL STATS +15! It's a beautiful and useless item, like the final katana.
  361.  
  362. [img]https://lpix.org/3435558/e40099.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435559/e40100.jpg[/img]
  363.  
  364. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] But we don't need to wait 14 days to refight this thing, as you as you re-enter the labyrinth, it's there for you. How will this team fare?
  365.  
  366. [img]https://lpix.org/3435560/e40101.jpg[/img]
  367.  
  368. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Well, you know, it's not gonna be an easy fight. See, with the static RNG, if you get into an unwinnable situation, you can wiggle about in the fight to try and avoid it. But will you wiggle into another unwinnable situation? Do you even have enough wiggle room at the time to try something different? It does get a bit frustrating having to keep restarting until I find the golden strategy, and it also somewhat cheapens the victory. But oh well, got LPs to do, Pokemon to catch, can't grind against this fight forever!

  374.  
  375. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Let's begin. And you're seeing this right, I'm only using REGULAR Immunize. Ooooh, I'm hard. But this will be the final battle, using the party you voted for!
  376.  
  377. [img]https://lpix.org/3435565/e40106.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435566/e40107.jpg[/img]

  379.  
  380. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Stay behind me and you'll be just fine!
  381.  
  382. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] HHHHHAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!
  383.  
  384. [img]https://lpix.org/3246173/Head Ryu.png[/img] Ignite my passion, fall to flames!
  385.  
  386. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Shame I can't go whacking, but I'll still the best healer around, so bleed for me, ehehehe! After this, we can all finish up and go home!
  387.  
  388. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] HHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhh... oh yeah... I guess we will do that. Uh, maybe, Karin, if you want, uh-
  389.  
  390. [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] Let me hear those lungs, boy!
  391.  
  392. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] We've got a lot of firepower, but we're, of course, much more fragile. This is what I've been waiting for.
  393.  
  394. [img]https://lpix.org/3435569/e40110.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435570/e40111.jpg[/img]
  395.  
  396. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Karin will basically spam Salve II so we're at full health to survive the next onslaught.
  397.  
  398. [img]https://lpix.org/3435571/e40112.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435572/e40113.jpg[/img]
  399. [img]https://lpix.org/3435573/e40114.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435574/e40115.jpg[/img]
  400.  
  401. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] And this definitely isn't my first attempt, so get ready to see some weird shit! Also important to note is Lavin already boosting. Here's the crazy part of the Town Crown, it boosts EVERYTHING, including Boost and Action Speed! It's, again, pretty fucking nuts, while pretty fucking useless.
  402.  
  403. [img]https://lpix.org/3435575/e40116.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435576/e40117.jpg[/img]
  404.  
  405. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] But overall, if you avoid the various traps, Primevil is a somewhat fair fight, it's only in the middle and the end that things can go real bad real quick, but you could get lucky enough to never encounter them.
  406.  
  407. [img]https://lpix.org/3435577/e40118.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435578/e40119.jpg[/img]
  408.  
  409. [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] Hmph, a pretty light show, but not worth my time!
  410.  
  411. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Ah crap, don't sling that spell, Ryu!
  412.  
  413. [img]https://lpix.org/3435579/e40120.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435580/e40121.jpg[/img]
  414.  
  415. [img]https://lpix.org/3246173/Head Ryu.png[/img] Ah. Hmm. This is gonna HYRK
  416.  
  417. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Well, at least Ryu is the only one who'll ever take damage from that.
  418.  
  419. [img]https://lpix.org/3435581/e40122.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435582/e40123.jpg[/img]
  420.  
  421. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Still, since it's an elemental turn next, it's no big deal. Karin not reviving Ryu is weird, but if I do that, then Primevil uses Entangle into an elemental, so let's not do that!
  422.  
  423. [img]https://lpix.org/3435583/e40124.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435584/e40125.jpg[/img]
  424.  
  425. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] I'm glad you're okay!
  426.  
  427. [img]https://lpix.org/3246173/Head Ryu.png[/img] Wasn't worried, I figured I'd eventually come back.
  428.  
  429. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] So let's talk about Wall. Thank god it's a bugged skill, it never appears in any of the attack tables, so Primevil can never use it, but it has specific AI for when it does use it. Regardless, Membrane is annoying enough, especially when it leads into fucking Necrosis. Having all your physical attackers killed without warning and leaving them stuck for a few turns, unless you somehow brought an Erasure Troubadour to a fight they really don't belong in, is just fucking stupid. What are you supposed to do about it? Makes me wonder if it got bugged on purpose, a fair few of the unreachable attack tables are seriously nasty ones like all elementals, or being littered with Necrosis. Still, if Wall was used, then it would lead into Entangle, and after that, being unable to attack, unable to use skills, you'd probably just die to an elemental. There's no skill as bullshit as Wall, due to all it represents.

  435. [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] Maybe we should talk about your drinking habits after this...

  438.  
  439. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Ah, Slash. The fuck do we do against this, because of course an elemental is coming next turn.
  440.

  442.  
  443. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] 5 turn reflectors are so fucking stupid. At least Ryu has been otherwise busy. But even defending doesn't protect Gerson? What to do...
  444.  
  445. [img]https://lpix.org/3435590/e40131.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435591/e40132.jpg[/img]
  446.  
  447. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] More, uh, magic prowess?
  448.  
  449. [img]https://lpix.org/3246173/Head Ryu.png[/img] Yeah, let's go with that.
  450.  
  451. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Of course, use a Nectar the turn Gerson dies! It's foolproof!
  452.  
  453. [img]https://lpix.org/3435592/e40133.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435593/e40134.jpg[/img]
  454.  
  455. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] I hate Slash so much... but at least we're nearly onto the last phase! Oh god...
  456.  
  457. [img]https://lpix.org/3435594/e40135.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435595/e40136.jpg[/img]
  458.  
  459. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] Keep it up! We're nearly there! You're doing amazing!
  460.  
  461. [img]https://lpix.org/3246173/Head Ryu.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Y-You think so?!
  462.  
  463. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Please don't let shipping doom us all...
  464.  
  465. [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] Speak up, Gerson, you're mumbling!
  466.  
  467. [img]https://lpix.org/3435596/e40137.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435597/e40138.jpg[/img]

  469.  
  470. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] The final push.
  471.  
  472. [img]https://lpix.org/3435600/e40141.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435601/e40142.jpg[/img]
  473.  
  474. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] Die monster! You don't belong in this world!!! ...so, uh, Karin, about what you said earlier.
  475.  
  476. [img]https://lpix.org/3435602/e40143.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435603/e40144.jpg[/img]
  477.  
  478. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Hold firm!
  479.  
  480. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Die monster! ...little busy right now, Lavin!
  481.  
  482. [img]https://lpix.org/3435604/e40145.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435605/e40146.jpg[/img]
  483.  
  484. [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] Gahhhhh, that won't stop me!
  485.  
  486. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] R-Right, I was just thinking, after this is all over... we could- uh, what I want to say is... I... I-
  487.  
  488. [img]https://lpix.org/3435606/e40147.jpg[/img]
  489.  
  490. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] -won?!
  491.  
  492. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Holy crap you did.
  493.  
  494. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Unbelievable!!! It's the little rookie!!!
  495.  
  496. [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] And what an honourable fight it was! It had quite the satisfied expression!
  497.  
  498. [img]https://lpix.org/3246173/Head Ryu.png[/img] Speak for yourself. Though I suppose I can't stop grinning. Let's get out of here and tell everything the good news.
  499.  
  500. [img]https://lpix.org/3435607/e40148.jpg[/img]
  501.  
  502. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] That, as they say, is a wrap. A wonky as fuck fight, but it was still a lot of fun. There's still a couple things to go over, but let's say farewell.
  503.  
  504. [img]https://lpix.org/2953137/mandrake_2.png[/img] [url=https://youtu.be/w8VADOyPN50]Bird-Shaped Vane on the Roof[/url]
  505.  
  506. [img]https://lpix.org/3435610/e40151.jpg[/img]
  507.  
  508. [img]https://lpix.org/3241892/Head Innkeeper.png[/img] I see... you're on your journey to conquer the depths of the Yggdrasil Labyrinth. Well, whenever you feel tired, feel free to rest at our inn.
  509.  
  510. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Okay this is just an excuse to cover some stuff since no town dialogue changes once you've completed the game. A waste, but whatever, nothing about these characters are that interesting anyway, so more dialogue wouldn't really fix that.
  511.  
  512. [img]https://lpix.org/3435613/e40154.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435614/e40155.jpg[/img]
  513. [img]https://lpix.org/3241891/Head Hoffman.png[/img] I never made any real progress, or accomplishments down there, you see. So... would it be all right if I incorporated a few of the stories I heard from you? With exploits like yours, I'm positive I'll be able to write a thrilling tale.
  514.  
  515. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] The only attack we didn't see was Pollen, which is another real fucking nasty attack that can really screw you over. Thankfully, it's only a chance of being used when you screw up, being only found when you use too many Anti skills or after Resolve. So if you play it safe, you'll never encounter it.
  516.  
  517. [img]https://lpix.org/3435618/e40159.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435622/e40163.jpg[/img]
  518.  
  519. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Finally, there's one more berserk mode for Primevil, when you exceed 50 turns. Since it doesn't have that much health, you won't see this even if you get screwed over and manage to survive. It takes precedent over everything, and makes it spam elementals until you kill it, as well as a 55% chance of using its default physical table, so you could survive those just fine with Immunize. This would be the time to use all 3 Anti skills at once. That would be a fucking weird battle.
  520.  
  521. [img]https://lpix.org/3435623/e40164.jpg[/img]
  522.  
  523. [img]https://lpix.org/3241894/Head Quinn.png[/img] When adventurers discover new beasts and objects, we are equipped to note their findings. It would be a great help, explorers of Edda, if you would contribute as well.
  524.  
  525. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Hey Quinn. Fuck off.
  526.  
  527. [img]https://lpix.org/3435620/e40161.jpg[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3435621/e40162.jpg[/img]
  528.  
  529. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Anyway, that's Etrian Odyssey. See you on the credits side.
  530.  
  531. [img]https://lpix.org/3435619/e40160.jpg[/img]
  532.  
  533. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] You guys did it, you really did it!
  534.  
  535. [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] I'm not surprised in the slightest. Well, maybe a little.
  536.  
  537. [img]https://lpix.org/3246175/Head Wagner.png[/img] You could hardly tell from looking at your face! Ah! Who kicked me?
  538.  
  539. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] Oh, whoops, oh, I dropped my monster Gbsnjsniiiim that I use for my magnum squirrel army.
  540.  
  541. [img]https://lpix.org/3254431/Head Rodent.png[/img] Does this mean I'm finally free?
  542.  
  543. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] No.
  544.  
  545. [img]https://lpix.org/3246173/Head Ryu.png[/img] Crazy to think it's all over, after how close we've gotten.
  546.  
  547. [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] Are we... are we really going to leave each other?! Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
  548.  
  549. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Hmm, what to do, what to do.
  550.  
  551. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] Ah dammit, I can't let it end like this!
  552.  
  553. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] We can definitely stick together, I just don't know how!
  554.  
  555. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] We can decide it in the morning. For now, let's celebrate our victory and conquering of the labyrinth!
  556.  
  557. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246173/Head Ryu.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246175/Head Wagner.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3254431/Head Rodent.png[/img] Yeah...
  558.  
  559. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] Oh for- stop acting like someone's died!!!

  564.  
  565. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Alright, with one last rest and save, it's time to say goodbye. Instead of a repeat of the credits, I'll give my final thoughts over each stratum of the labyrinth, because I need to show off my maps, goddammit!!!
  566.  
  567. [img]https://lpix.org/3247558/t1309.png[/img]
  568. [img]https://lpix.org/3435629/e40170.jpg[/img]

  573.  
  574. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] It really feels like quite a while ago when we first explored the labyrinth. The game started off pretty rough, B2F is probably one of my least favourite floors, but once everyone started getting into the groove, things started turning around. It's been a joy playing this game and using every class and doing an LP of it. Despite all my gripes, I do love this game to bits, it's, as I've mentioned, the perfect game to LP. Play it yourself if you want, but just know how much I had to tweak, how long it took to all get right and what went behind the scenes. It wasn't a gruelling task, but it's definitely not a game for the faint of heart.
  575.

  582.  
  583. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Ugh this stratum. It was alright, just got pretty old pretty fast. A big, massive thank you to those who submitted the characters for the LP. This was my first time doing something like this, and damn straight am I gonna do it again, these 9 idiots, with a couple of tagalongs to have a more varied cast, were great fun to write about. It really helps me flex my mind and hands to practise like this. Maybe I can turn it into something more impressive. It definitely had its growing pains, I wasn't sure what I was doing with them to begin with, and you might've noticed some got a lot more focus than others, since I had more to say through them. But I wanted above all else to include everyone in every update and I'm super happy I succeeded at that. I'm also very happy with my abrasive comedic tone they all had throughout the adventure, though maybe the references got a little out of hand. I hope you loved reading what these goofballs got up to.

  591.  
  592. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Ants... Of course, no LP is perfect, I would hope not, I need to do better next time! I definitely want to improve my character writing, have a bit of variety in what they do, especially at the end of updates for people to read if they want to. I do like that I kept their backstories somewhat vague, but also blurting out what they were about when I finally thought of it is a little sloppy. No matter. I'm very happy with how the overall LP went, but I should've listed all the various drops that make a weapon on the enemy overview, so it's much more useful. Also I got a bit lazy with Side Notes, something I do like doing, I just didn't cover everything I wanted. Ah, no matter. Also I should step up my music link game, but at the same time it's maybe not a big deal? I like cranking these out as often as I can, it's a really fun hobby in a relatively quiet time in my life, so I figure if I'm in the groove, might as well keep things as comfortable as I can.

  600.  
  601. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] Now more to the game itself, especially in this plot filled area that, well, is about fucking genocide. It's just stupid, especially since I felt like I got a handle on everything and it became real fun to write everyone, make updates, all that jazz. I just can't think much of the plot, especially when it pretends Etria is doomed after the labyrinth is finished. Complete bullshit and it doesn't make me feel bad. I'll complete this game no problem, what do I care? Anyway, aside from all the dumb stuff, the core concept is fantastic, I love drawing the maps, as you can plainly see, and this basic RPG goodness is exactly what I love. I'm actually really bad at fast paced games, too much happens at once and my mind gets frazzled and I don't do anything. My Populous 3 LP is the best example of that, much as I love that game. So turn based stuff just tickles me, especially when it's not so ridiculously complicated. This series is great, fucking play it already!!!

  610. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] So, big thanks to my co-commentators, Ragnar Homsar and Araxxor, I love them to bits, they were great fun on this adventure, since it was my first time having written commentary, especially with two strangers, practically, instead of my BFF DirtyDeedsDone. They had a nice balance and helped me a lot, this LP wouldn't be possible without them, from the Discord, to the info collated, to the various contributions, to the endless hassling I did to get them in line with my timezone and work schedule. They're great! And thanks to you for reading, replying, contributing, lurking, chatting, it's been a long one, since while other LPs have had more updates, this one was packed full of... everything! I wanted to show off everything this game had and dammit I nearly did since it's a rough game to tear apart, but I did as much as I could. Definitely a passion project of mine, but I need to give my second favourite series its due.

  619. [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] And of course I had to show the postgame! What a load of crap, I loved showing it all off! Of course, what's next? Will I do Etrian Odyssey II? Absolutely! Am I doing it next? Fuck no! Gonna need to prep, gotta collate and, sorry to say, gotta scratch that Pokemon itch! See you for the next EO, I'm super looking forward to it!

  624.  
  625. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Feels weird not taking a right and going into the labyrinth. Now we head left.
  626.  
  627. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] Don't look so glum chums, I'll lead the way!
  628.  
  629. [img]https://lpix.org/3323737/Head%20Pearl.png[/img] Honestly, I leave you to take down an eldritch abomination and then everyone gets all mopey, what happened?
  630.  
  631. [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] We must... say our goodbyes. And head, uh, this way? I didn't come this way.
  632.  
  633. [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] Me neither. Especially not over this hill.
  634.  
  635. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] Sis. What you doing?
  636.  
  637. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] Ahhhhh, I've gotta tell them!
  638.  
  639. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Alright, alright, I can't hold it in either!
  640.  
  641. [img]https://lpix.org/3254431/Head Rodent.png[/img] Oh no.
  642.  
  643. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] We're not going our separate ways just yet, there's another labyrinth in the north!
  644.  
  645. [img]https://lpix.org/3246175/Head Wagner.png[/img] First I've heard of it~
  646.  
  647. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] I couldn't bear to leave you guys, so Liana went out last night trying to think of a plan. There she heard the news, in the town of High Lagaard, a Yggdrasil Labyrinth has been opened to explorers!
  648.  
  649. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Don't tell me...
  650.  
  651. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] Let's go explore another one!!!
  652.  
  653. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] Ehhhh?! So soon! I was starting to get a little homesick... but maybe... it was a different kind of sickness.
  654.  
  655. [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] Well I don't really have anywhere to go back to, so I'd like to be with everyone for a while longer.
  656.  
  657. [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] Same here, I couldn't bear to... to be without you guys!!! Waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!
  658.  
  659. [img]https://lpix.org/3246175/Head Wagner.png[/img] It's quite the trek, though, especially for a company of sorry selves like us~
  660.  
  661. [img]https://lpix.org/3246173/Head Ryu.png[/img] Let me guess, you thought of that too.
  662.  
  663. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Well there's ten of us.
  664.  
  665. [img]https://lpix.org/3323737/Head%20Pearl.png[/img] Eleven.
  666.  
  667. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] TEN of us, so if we split into two groups, we'll have a much faster, and safer treck, we can all handle ourselves.
  668.  
  669. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] Bagsy sis.
  670.  
  671. [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] Well that much was obvious, but how to split everything...
  672.  
  673. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] It's a great idea! Who's coming with me?
  674.  
  675. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3254431/Head Rodent.png[/img] I will!
  676.  
  677. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] Well that much was obvious.
  678.  
  679. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Hmm, but if Lavin's coming, then Ryu is coming, and if you're coming, then Cheese will have to keep an eye on you. I dunno, I only want to travel with one of you.
  680.  
  681. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Alright, don't take too long to decide, it's getting pretty late.
  682.  
  683. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] Well... I-I-I love you, Karin!
  684.  
  685. [img]https://lpix.org/3254431/Head Rodent.png[/img] Wha-?! But I also love you, Karin!
  686.  
  687. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] But now two people love you! Who will you choose?
  688.  
  689. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] I... I...
  690.  
  691. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246173/Head Ryu.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246175/Head Wagner.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3323737/Head%20Pearl.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3241890/Head_Cross.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3241903/ragnar_red.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3243922/fetus.png[/img] :popcorn:
  692.  
  693. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] Actually, wait a minute, since when did you have any character? I thought I cursed you so you wouldn't... what happened, Rodent person.
  694.  
  695. [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] Yeah, what's your deal, gathering guy? Why should we be invested.
  696.  
  697. [img]https://lpix.org/3254431/Head Rodent.png[/img] Grr... you guys... are the worst! My name is Ro Dent! God, I wasn't huge on the curse at first, but then when you guys started getting famous I thought maybe being part of this guild would be cool! But all of you snubbed me, saying I wasn't really a part of this guild and never even asked for my name! Only one person talked to me, one person was there for me and she's more wonderful and more caring than any of you idiots!
  698.  
  699. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Oh, well, you're making me blush here.
  700.  
  701. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] I don't remember any of this!
  702.  
  703. [img]https://lpix.org/3254431/Head Rodent.png[/img] Well obviously, you never notice anything and you NEVER CARED!
  704.  
  705. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] Well, this escalated quickly, Karin, just make your dumb decision alre-
  706.  
  707. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] Hang on, this is too one-sided, you've just been hanging in the back, too lazy to do anything, never bothering to have anything to do with us. I've been out there saving lives and done more for Karin than you ever will!
  708.  
  709. [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] But don't you already have a lover?
  710.  
  711. [img]https://lpix.org/3246173/Head Ryu.png[/img] Well I don't care about that, besides, I'd describe it more as lust... there's more than enough to go around, is what I'm saying.
  712.  
  713. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] Karin, please, end this.
  714.  
  715. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Well of course my choice has been obvious from the start. I love you both too!
  716.  
  717. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3254431/Head Rodent.png[/img] ...huh?
  718.  
  719. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Well, I like Ryu too, but only since he's gotten stronger. I'm perfectly happy for him to join in.
  720.  
  721. [img]https://lpix.org/3246173/Head Ryu.png[/img] Eh, first time for everything, I'm down. Don't be too offended if I focus on the two hunks. Since, well, now that I look at you, mister Dent. Hey.
  722.  
  723. [img]https://lpix.org/3254431/Head Rodent.png[/img] Uh, hey. Whatever makes Karin happy, I'm fine with.
  724.  
  725. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] S-Same here! Well this isn't exactly how I thought it would go, but... uh, yeah.
  726.  
  727. [img]https://lpix.org/3246175/Head Wagner.png[/img] Right, well, I think we've made our groups. How about another deceleration of love. Simone? How about we group up as well, eh?~
  728.  
  729. [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] Hm? Oh, right, this thing. Uh, sorry to say, I've not been big on men since the thing. You know how it is. In fact, how about it Aryll, wanna make out?
  730.  
  731. [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] It would be my... honour!
  732.  
  733. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] Well I'm glad this all got sorted out. Can we go now?
  734.  
  735. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] Indeed, if Wagner is happy to go with the quartet, then we've got our groups.
  736.  
  737. [img]https://lpix.org/3246175/Head Wagner.png[/img] Ah, yes. Well, I don't really mind... since love~ is quite fun~ but I've had quite enough~ for a while~ I need some me time.
  738.  
  739. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] Well I guess you could join in
  740.  
  741. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] Ooh, ooh, another guy! Dunno how that'd work, but we'll find out!
  742.  
  743. [img]https://lpix.org/3246175/Head Wagner.png[/img] Eh, I appreciate the sentiment~
  744.  
  745. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Then let us head off and onwards to a new adventure! Hands in! I'll protect you to the ends of the world!
  746.  
  747. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] Hyah! I'll cut through any in my way!
  748.  
  749. [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] I'll go back home one day, but there's more to see, more to do, I can't possibly let my brothers catch up now!
  750.  
  751. [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] I'll continue drinking delicious life force and spend my days with my friends!
  752.  
  753. [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] I'll patch you up and make you invincible! Oh, I suppose the supplies in Lagaard might be different... eh, it'll be fine!
  754.  
  755. [img]https://lpix.org/3246173/Head Ryu.png[/img] I'll read more books than muscles in the body on the trip there! And work on magic, but that's a given!
  756.  
  757. [img]https://lpix.org/3246175/Head Wagner.png[/img] I shall sing in memory of those I've lost and those I've gained~
  758.  
  759. [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] I shall slay all in my path and kiss girls with HONOUR!
  760.  
  761. [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] I'll keep you safe, my masters will it.
  762.  
  763. [img]https://lpix.org/3254431/Head Rodent.png[/img] Yeah I guess I'll keep collecting and stuff, I am really good at it!
  764.  
  765. [img]https://lpix.org/3246170/Head Gerson.png[/img] Alright, team, to a successful labyrinth and our new conquest!
  766.  
  767. [img]https://lpix.org/3246169/Head Lavin.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246171/Head Liana.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246172/Head Simone.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246173/Head Ryu.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246174/Head Karin.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246175/Head Wagner.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246176/Head Aryll.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3246177/Head Cheese.png[/img] [img]https://lpix.org/3254431/Head Rodent.png[/img] YEAH!
  768.  
  769. [img]https://lpix.org/3323737/Head%20Pearl.png[/img] ...hey wait a minute, where are you all going? You left me behind! Guys, wait! Guuuuuuuuuuuuys!!!
