Earthbound Part 24: Small Helpful Creatures

Spin spin spin!

And back here we are.

I totally did not spend 5 minutes wandering around going "where the fuck is this library?"

Oh dammit, I'm 13 years overdue. Wait I gave that to MOOSE's sister. SHE'S RUINING US.

Well this guy is suddenly chatty. It's another nice day. What? You'd like the book "Overcoming Shyness"? I've read it. It's a great book. So you want to overcome shyness also? You should be able to find it on the bookcase.

First try! Totally didn't check every other bookcase before this one.

MOOSE spreads the joy of BOOZE to all his friends! Even EREN likes it!

Spin spin spin!

Insomnia is a super power.

SO GOOD.

Please take junk.

Is this a magic book?

You'll excuse me if I don't believe you.

WE'RE YOU JUST WAITING ON THE ROOF FOR ME? WHY?

...Bob Ross? Is that you?

*snrk* haha

Well my friends weren't online to ask so we're sticking with it. It makes me happy.

DAMMIT GAME LET ME GO PLAY IN YOUR DUNGEON.

Presents!

Healing item? I like tea.

Why do all the small creatures put drugs in their drinks?

Well the room has stopped being psychedelic so onward!

This is straight up trading. You can run to Saturn Valley and progress down that list. There are some good items here but I didn't do it. I might do it later.

Aww there there, you'll find something else. You are more than just your talky-ness.

Hooray progress!

Ha that rock has a face.

HOLY SHIT

I...you know what ok. This isn't the weirdest shit I've seen by far.

FOPPIES~

Hey how do you have that.

That number~

Offense went up by 2! Defense went up by 1! Maximum HP went up by 1! Maximum PP went up by 1!

Foppies are my friend.

Our first stop is this ladder.

Where we find the two not-Foppy enemies.

We are armed to the teeth.

Also we're right by the door so heals please.

Aw my Foppy friends say hello.

Maximum HP went up by 3! Maximum PP went up by 1!

Oh, baby! Offense went up by 4! Defense went up by 2! Guts went up by 2! IQ went up by 1! Luck went up by 2! Maximum HP went up by 2!

There's an upper path and a straight ahead path (which if we were visible you'd see which way I'm facing). We're going straight on.

The rare lone Foppy.

Offense went up by 2! Defense went up by 1! Speed went up by 1! Guts went up by 1! Vitality went up by 2! Oh baby! IQ went up by 3! Luck went up by 1! Sweet Maximum HP went up by 30! That rocks! Maximim PP went up by 15!

MOOSE is Super MOOSE and he can do anything.

The hole leads back down to where the first ladder is.

We want this ladder.

These guys alone are nothing.

These guys together are the worst. That's the result of a PSI Flash btw.

So we know have the ghost of EREN. This will not do.

Hot Springs are made of phoenix downs.

Foppies! Oh, baby! Offense went up by 4! Defense went up by 1! Speed went up by 2! Guts went up by 2! IQ went up by 2! Luck went up by 2! Maximum HP went up by 2! Maximum PP went up by 6!

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC

Maximum HP went up by 1!
And TESLA...tried.

Offense went up by 2! Oh, baby! Defense went up by 3! Speed went up by 1! Guts went up by 1! Vitality went up by 1! IQ went up by 1! Luck went up by 1! Maximum HP went up by 12! Maximum PP went up by 2!

Anyway, at the end of the ladder path is another rbox.

EREN currently has the lowest IQ and since he is Starstorm Man and alt healer I need him to be on top of things.

Look at all the Foppies who want hugs!

Maximum HP went up by 2!

This. This is why that ladder path is important.

+20 Defense is good!

Making our way back to the upper path.

We give out more hugs.
Maximum HP went up by 2! Maximum PP went up by 2!

Speed went up by 1! Vitality went up by 1! IQ went up by 1! Maximum HP went up by 10!

Oh, baby! Offense went up by 4! Oh, baby! Defense went up by 3! Speed went up by 2! Maximum HP went up by 3! Maximum PP went up by 5!

It's good to be not-yet-king.

More presents? Game what are you up to?

STAT CHECK.

It was a tie but MOOSE wins by virtue of being main protagonist. And I still have no idea what luck does.

Back to progress.

You're welcome Mr Rock.

Oh, baby! Offense went up by 3! Guts went up by 1! Luck went up by 1! Maximum HP went up by 1! Maximum PP went up by 1!

WOOO.

Pressing along.

I should really eat one of these at some point.

EREN even snagged some fancy water.

These two together are also the worst. Because one casts annoying magic and the other explodes when it dies.

Offense went up by 1! Defense went up by 1! IQ went up by 1! Maximum HP went up by 2!

And we want this ladder.

It's not that I don't appreciate more power, it's just that I'D LIKE TO GO UP ONE LADDER WITHOUT GETTING ASSAULTED. Offense went up by 1! Defense went up by 1! Guts went up by 1! Vitality went up by 1! Maximum HP went up by 12! Maximum PP went up by 1!

I can even hug Foppies without going into battle mode now. Speed went up by 1! IQ went up by 1! Maximum HP went up by 1! Maximum PP went up by 3!

PRAISE THE RAMEN!

What am I supposed to do with the knowledge?

Bubberfly!

This heals about 300 HP. I will treasure it.

There is the boss. And there is a room full of lonely Foppies.

With a present!

Game on!

Ha ha!

That's the Franklin Badge reflecting damage.

That's TESLA losing health.

Geeez. INKY is strong.

TESLA USED SCIENCE! ITS SUPER EFFECTIVE.

BUT THE DALEKS ALWAYS HAVE THE LAST WORD.

That's a very very big number.

Offense went up by 2! Defense went up by 1! Speed went up by 1! Maximum HP went up by 1! Maximum PP went up by 2!

Offense went up by 2! Guts went up by 1! IQ went up by 1! Maximum HP went up by 2! Maximum PP went up by 5!

Offense went up by 1! Defense went up by 1! Oh, baby! Speed went up by 3! Guts went up by 2! Vitality went up by 1! IQ went up by 2! Luck went up by 2! Maximum HP went up by 13!

Offense went up by 1! Defense went up by 1! IQ went up by 1! Luck went up by 1! Maximum HP went up by 1! Maximum PP went up by 4!

And with that the dungeon belongs to us.

Ooh.

Oooh. Pretty.

This is really cool.

Wat.
This is my favorite sanctuary. Click here for a video of it by Leavemywife. You can also check out his LP on the LP Archive here.

Well that was cool.

And once more James Sunderland style.

OH KRONG WE'RE TINY.

OH KRONG WE'RE SLOW AS HELL.

Is that a cave? No.

YOU MEAN DANGER LIKE THAT DINOSAUR TO THE LEFT.

Aww he's a cute dinosaur. Who would squish me and not even know it.

Tendakraut makes new friends.

...You know, we have earthquakes all the time here. After an earthquake, the hot springs will erupt. The blue springs are great for recovering health. The Red springs are perfect for healing paralysis or drawing out poison.

You had me at free heals new friend.

MOOSE and his party are the only people who know how to operate a phone in this world.

Let's stop here though.

And admire our massive pile of cash.
Next time: Dinosaurs.
