Begone! Begone! Begooone! |
|
Bwaaah! |
|
Aw, crap! He's got Loosey-Deucey on the ropes! Not on my watch! Heeyah! |
Monster |
Rrroooarrrgh! |
|
Ooof! |
|
Myaaah! Stay away from me! |
Monster |
Grrraaawrrr! |
|
It's like nothin's even hurtin' it! |
| Huh?! | Did you just see that sparkle?! |
|
Behind the monster! There's something sparkling in the mineshaft! |
|
Could that have been a magestone?! |
Monster |
GWAAAAAAAH! Nooo giiive yooouuu stooooooone! |
|
[MC], we need to book it, and fast! That thing's gonna pound us into tuna paste! |
| Then let's both run for it! | Retreat! Retreat! |
Monster |
GRRRAAAWRRR! |
Dwarfs' Mine - Silent Woods
|
This should be far enough, I think? |
|
Owww... What was that thing? No one said there'd be anything like that! |
|
That was no normal ghost, that's for sure. |
|
Let's just give up and go home. I'll happily take the expulsion if it means never having to fight that thing again. |
|
What?! Nuh-uh, not happenin'! I'd rather die than get expelled from Night Raven!
How can you give up when the stone is right there? |
|
Pfft. Big talk from someone who's not even half the mage I am. You want that stone so bad, go get it yourself. I'm out. |
|
Oh YEAH?! Fine, go back to your coop, you big chicken! |
|
Whaaaaat?! Who're you callin' chicken, huh?! |
|
Whoa, Deuce... Is it just me, or did you, like, turn into a totally different person just now? |
|
Huh?! *Cough* *Cough* Sorry... Lost my cool for a second there. |
| So now what?
| Can't you do something with your magic?
|
|
Can't you guys just blow that thing up with magic? |
|
|
The headmage said it himself... magic has limits.
If you can't strongly visualize your magic, it isn't going to happen. |
|
|
Using magic at a greater scale, or using different types of magic - those things require training. |
|
Yeah, that's why magic academies exist.
It takes a lot of training before you can snap your fingers and turn your thoughts into magic.
And the more flustered you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes. |
| Oh, I'd assumed spellcasting just came naturally.
| So that's why Grim can only summon fire.
|
|
Nope, although if the magic's your specialty, you can use it more intuitively. |
|
|
Hey! I'm gonna learn how to use WAY cooler magic than that, for the record!
I'm just hittin' my stride here! |
|
|
Anyway, we need to find some way to defeat that creature and get the magestone. |
|
Yeaaaaah. Just like the time with the chandelier, right? You "found some way," and now here we are.
We just fought that thing and it creamed us. So what exactly is your plan here, genius? Because I sure don't trust you to improvise! |
|
What?! You're the one who- |
|
Aaand they're at it again. |
| Would the two of you know it off already?!
| So I guess let's all just get expelled, then.
|
|
Whoa, that was loud. Where'd that come from? |
|
|
Whoa, that was harsh. Where'd that come from? |
|
| You said it yourself - we can't hurt that thing.
| Why not try cooperating a little?
|
|
M-myah... |
|
Urk... But... But what are we going to do then?! |
|
|
With Loosey-Deucey? No way. He'd get me killed! |
|
Like it'd be some treat for me to work with you?! |
|
| What if we all just worked together?
| What if we came up with a proper plan first?
|
|
"Work together"... Is that some kinda joke?
You always say the lamest things with the straightest face, [MC]. |
|
|
A proper plan? Like some kinda buddy move?
Is that a joke? You always say the lamest things with the straightest face, [MC]. |
|
|
Agreed. No way could I work together with him. |
|
Yeah, but... Gettin' expelled on the first day... That's pretty lame too. Maybe even lamer. |
|
W-well... |
|
...... |
| Yeah, there's nothing cool about that!
| I did have one idea... |
|
Gah... Fine. Let's just get this over with, then.
All right, [MC]. What's the plan? |
Dwarfs' Mine - Mine Entrance
|
[MC]... Is this plan of yours really gonna work? I'm sca- I mean, I'm a little... uh, hungry. |
| Don't worry! I think this could really work!
| Then let's brace for the worst.
|
|
It really could. Let's go, [MC]! |
|
|
Heh heh. That's certainly not gonna help! Keep it loose and keep it lively. Let's do this! |
