On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 2 Part 4: Something about Flying Cuckoos.


 We left our heroes staring at a fuse in dismay or confusion.
A secret door! Would be much more exciting if we hadn't found it on the other side first.
Opening a drawer leads to familiar faces.
This other drawer is made of awesome.
Familiar room! Full of experience!
Gabe Final Power Up!
Hi Div nice to see you too.
 Yeeeaaaah
 Really? I was going with we were just in a dungeon and it wasn't exactly as nice as Dredmor's.
 Yes.
 I don't see why we lie to her, she's by far the most competent and well-adjusted one in the room.
 And now she knows.
 While I'm all for the murdering of that guy, why couldn't you just say "Hey, do you have anyway to break strengthium?"
 Oh I get to talk now. Well, in case the fuse leads to side quest, let's play Tinkerer.
 Think of a shotgun as a rifle with a shorter range and wider radius.
 It's a shotgun! It's nature is shooting!

 See, that wasn't so hard.
 As they should.
 Inquiries about upgrading again.
 I'm not sure I'm going to enjoy reading that book.
 Well that's all we can do in this regard for now.
 It's not like the moon is crashing, we have time.
 Yes, if Tycho had let me talk I would've told you sooner.
 Good enough for me I just need doors to open.
 Tycho usually I'm the one questioning everything. This? This is simple.
 As long as it doesn't explode, I think we're good.
No faith whatsoever.
 Yeah any hints about the stuff?

 Spider silk? Well the place we haven't been will have a dusty storeroom or something.
 Indeed but you never know.
 Gonna test your fuse brb
Bye!
Me too! And look at all these people I can warm up my vengeance on!
See we're ready now!
 I'm fixing it, I'm fixing it!
 You shove a thing into a hole. It's not hard.

 Good plan!
 I like the way you think.
 We don't have time for that.
 Stop stealing my lines!
 Hush Gabe.
 That third part seems redundant.
 Thank Krong.
 Enthusiasm gets you everywhere.
 Suddenly Cutscene!
 Hey why do we need a cutscene for just turning the lights on?
 What is that?
 WHAT IS THAT?
OH KRONG WHAT. NO NO NO. FUCK THIS. NO. FUCK SPIDERS.
THERE ARE MORE NO FUCK NO NO NO FUCK DEATH DEATH DEATH
GOOD WE CAN KILL THEM BETTER
ALL THE CORNERS HAVE SPIDERS DEATH TO ALL SPIDERS KILL ALL SPIDERS
 THERE ALL THE SPIDERS DEAD...phew...no more spiders...
Tycho Final Power Up!
 OK, now we can-
grind a bit more exp. OK
There. Are we tough enough for you now game?
 You apparently haven't read the script. Let me introduce myself I'm the main character...
 Hey, don't try to diagnose me while I'm talking to you.
 Put your honor aside and let me have an easy fight. Morals are for other enemies.
 Wolfington starts off fighting by himself. Why is he so confident?
 Because his default not-shooting attack is to hypnotize us into beating each other up.Usually we snap out of it after an attack or two to the face. I had a problem where Tycho seemed quite content in mind control. Also the green stuff? Div's attack. yeeeeaaaaaah.
After you get him near half he'll call his guards in to help. You can still attack him while his guards are here, unlike the slum lord fight. You have to kill him and his guards before the fight ends.
 Very rewarding.
 Even more rewarding.
 The highest reward.
 He's dead Tycho.
 Books are Tycho's shiny.
 It appears to be leopard.
 It's true when wizards aren't drinking they love cheese.
 You have cracked this ever so difficult cipher.
 We have a journal, give me the stuff I really care about.
 That's not juicy!
 Since Tycho is a spoilsport.
 Agreed.
 Yay clothes I'm not going to wear!
 Shiny!
And Plot Coupon!
 Ha! Ha ha! heh...yeah...
 GAH THE SPIDERS THE SPIDERS....sorry...
 You're welcome, friend.
 Yay!
 You know right now it looks kinda cute.
 The moment you realize there's no such thing as a door-to-door sack salesman.
 That's roughing!
 Oh dear, who is that?
 Here you go.
 Really? We're not gonna untie him?
 How did you do that?
 This sounds like a winning strategy to me.
 Nope, not at all.
Hope they don't steal your next robots!
 And what's that?
 Really? I was going to say that we could add 2 cards because we should by all rights have 2 in our pocket.
 Service is adding cards to turn you into a lean mean fighting machine.
 You have no faith in Mr. Tails ability to kick ass.
 Gabe is very kind to monkeys. Everything else is kinda a crapshoot.
 Gabe were you a theater major?
 Well he's lively now!
 Hey I'm not invisible now!
 Well he ran forward this time...
 It could've been worse!
That picture...is also not Wimple's card...WHY WONT YOU LET ME USE THAT CARD
 ....neeeeeeeeeeeeee....
 Metaphor what.
 Yes we are. Now let's never speak of this again.
NEVER SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN.
Well I've got nothing better to do.
 It was the only idea.
 Best. Street name. Ever.
Well this is very nice! And that looks like a guy on the path who wants our attention. We'll give it to him next time.
