Can we use the SPEAR in combat or is it just seen as a tool?

>Shaki moves to the ENTRANCE ROOM. Once she's done... er... whatever she's doing here, she'll head to the boss fight.

well we found a honey jar that is now useless as the only merchant who bought the stuff banned us from her shop which only had crappy items anyways. Still take the honey anyways, can probably give it to moneybags or something later for a decent item.

Maybe if someone besides Dip could talk to Betty?

Ah. Take the honey, visit the bee merchant. She's only pissed at DIP, so SHAKI should be fine.

>Betty has opened up shop to you again, and is willing to trade FLESHWALKER TALISMAN to Naut for the honey.

Sounds good. What does it do?

Also remember that honey has an incredible shelf life, so we should save up the next jar we find for something better to trade, but right now let's just make amends and start trading.

Eat all the honey, while you look her dead in the eye.
Trade hunneh.

>>674413
ENOUGH, CURT. ENOUGH.

Downvoting this.

>>674418
No, no, I was saying we should actually trade the honey. It would just be funny to be a dick.
Don't worry, awful ideas are still purely your job.

Oh hey nice, NOMI doesn't have to stuff herself whenever we want to go into the flesh plane, now. Though I guess she can eat the corpse pile anyway. Check out this room in the flesh plane, why not.

...makes me wonder if there's anything interesting on this floor on the flesh plane. We've used every other plane. ...it was probably the skeleton, wasn't it.

Regroup and test it out. Stay in the Flesh Plain for about 5 seconds.

Grand slam from Naut right off the bat, gotta see what it actually does.

>>674432
Sh..should we go look at the other rooms in the flesh plan??
Also we completely forgot about our EXISTENTIAL DREAD. Use now.

>>674478
GODDAMMIT fuck!
>>674472
Goddammit FUCK!

Naut, Smash!

Nomi, Bite!

Shaki, Protect Dip!

Dip, Symphony!

Strategy: Dip's ability will allow us to use GRAND SLAM for maximum effect on our next turn. That means that SD's best move is to interrupt Dip while damaging him to prevent Dip's buff from evening the playing field. If he can deal a full skull of damage then Naut and Nomi are in danger anyway, which means that we need to end the fight as quickly as possible while SD's goal is to destroy team cohesion. Playing on the defensive too long will allow SD to pick off allies, decreasing our general DPS while leaving us desperate to survive.

>>674472
Compliment his physique!

>>674481
.... that... actually seems like a good plan.

be sure to play
"space jam" for the best effect

>>674486
or return the collar, what if it's his?

>>674486
Do this if talking is a free action.

>SHAKI uses PROTECT on DIP! she'll take damage instead of him this turn.

>SCRAPPY DOO uses LEG SWEEP. Naut takes half a skull in damage! Shaki protected Dip, She took half a skull in damage!

"PUPPY POWER!"

>Any attempts to talk calmy to scrappy are cut off by his obnoxiously shrill voice

Nomi, Glutton! (or Bite, if you think that eating this steroid puppy is too dangerous)
Dip, Shriek!
Shaki, Heal Naut!
Naut, GRAND SLAM!

Should be more than enough to take him down.

>>674501
FLEX!

>>674502
Yeah this is about right. Although I'd like to prefer getting him down to near death rather than killing him, because well, maybe we don't have to kill him? Unfortunately he's got 8 skulls left, Grand Slam does at least 6 boosted, and Nomi does at least 1 skull base damage now, which means either we don't use grand slam, or Nomi would have to do absolutely nothing and I don't think she even can.

So if we're going for nonlethal: Smash(2), Glutton?(3 or 4), Shriek(1), Heal Naut.

>>674508
I get the feeling that he has a second form or something. Overkill just to be safe; if he can transform and instantly heal at least once, bringing him down to low health isn't going to cut it.

I'm usually into nonlethal takedowns but this guy might kill a squad member and he refuses to communicate. Best hope that his physique will help stop the bleeding; WE CAN ATTEMPT TO HEAL HIM AFTER DEFEATING HIM.

>>674508
He's Scrappy Doo, he deserves to die.

Ah. It looks like the true downside to Grand Slam is that it prevents anyone else from acting that turn.

INCLUDING THE ENEMY.

Nicely done! Now just play it safe and win! Also, demand their surrender right before attacking, with Shaki if necessary to spend an action.

Shaki, heal Naut!

Nomi, Bite!

Dip, Symphony!

(If anyone knows how to deal 2 damage / turn in this situation, now's the time!)

Maybe apply the COLLAR to SCRAPPY before he can do anything?

>>674634
Interesting idea. Could work to pacify him.

If not, Nomi could just Gluttony to finish him off, along with a Shriek.

>>674634
What if the collar heals / buffs him?

>>674637
Thought about that, but what if Nomi ends up consuming steroids or some other ^&*(?

We're almost done defeating the level boss, can we play this safe?

apply shriek
