Summary:
I finish the piano quest, then move into the Rift. We fight our way
through a diverse array of locations within the Rift, including desert,
ruins, forest, and cave. Krile tries the oracle job, and sees doom
wherever she looks.
---
Piano 3: The Reckoning
-More piano exploration in the world.
PHANTOM VILLAGE: Already done.
CRESCENT: Already done.
TULE: Already done.
REGOLE: SUCCESS!!
I didn’t see the hidden passage that led here before, but found the last piano. So… hurray, I guess?
-I think I’m done here. Onto the Rift.
---
The Rift – Desert
-Some quake worms and the brutal Landcrawler, but nothing too new.
-A tomb.
-OH SHIT IT’S THE LEGION OF DOOM.
Not that Legion of Doom.
THIS Legion of Doom!
-They threaten us, then blink away. I think they were just a vision/illusion/projection.
---
The Rift – Ruins
-Ronkan ruins. More high-tech enemies, like a reskin of the evil fan.
-Oracle is a really fascinating job. It seems to be random. I can use !Condemn to put a countdown timer on the enemy. W hen it counts down, the enemy gets hit by that spell. Cannoneer I don’t really understand yet.
-Exit…
-…huh?
---
The Rift – Phantom Village
-I pop out of the previously inaccessible basement room in the Phantom Village.
-Is this an illusion? Is this real? Am I real?
-The answer is maybe. Nobody in town is talking or moving. It’s frozen in time. This is some creepy-ass langoliers bullshit right here.
-Seriously. I have nightmares about this kind of thing.
-We leave the town…
---
The Rift – Forest
-…and enter a low-visibility forest.
-LOL – Krile used !Predict, rank 3. It summoned a rockslide that KILLED THREE OF US LOLOL
-Ok, fuck Oracle. Her next !Predict is “Pestilence,” which kills the whole party after five seconds with over 4,000 damage to us.
-A tree with a hole in it opened to the next area.
-Oops! No, it didn’t. A tentacle lady, Calofisteri, came out to kill me. I try Rank 1 !Predict for the heck of it. Krile predicts Pestilence again. Five seconds later, we die.
The damage we’re taking? Yeah, it’s not from Calofisteri. *stares at Krile*
-HEY KRILE, STOP SEEING THE GRIM EVERYWHERE. Trelawney taught you poorly. Should’ve learned from the centaurs instead.
-Attemt #2: Success. My strategy of having Krile sit on her ass and predict nothing was a rousing success.
---
The Rift – Cave
-We encounter a Great Dragon as our first random enemy. This does not bode well.
Some tough Rift Cave baddies.
-I give Krile one last chance to prove her oracling worth. She rises to the challenge by calling down another pox on our house.
-Ok, Krile. Let’s give you a nice relaxing beastmaster job.
-Eyeball mounds from FFII! Missed u guyz.
-Aaand I ran into Omega. Guess who got destroyed?
---
Next time: Omega.
