Retina, or Taro as his friends once knew him, has been spotted in Putrefied Ducts for unclear reasons. Deal with him at your own peril!
Boss Theme: Risk of Rain Returns - Double F-ing Rainbow (2023 Remaster)
((IMPORTANT: You won't be able to free Taro from Duty's influence in this fight. That will be the next one, which will go up after the arc really gets going. Hopefully.))
Kimoona has come to Karak to attend Poinitrip's Combat School, and, so far, all has been going well! The training has been rather exhausting, however...
((Too lazy to make a bench. Pretend she's sitting on one.))
Retina: "Perfect... If I know Mr. Stilkin, I don't have to make anything more complicated than this."
Kimoona is learning to move and fight just like her!
((If she can't have those rings yet just pretend they're training bracelets or something))
"So when's the arc happening, Big Doot? Or are we waiting for the Heavy Update to drop first?"
((JOKE POST))
For some reason I can't post a poll, so this will have to do. There are currently three different Gatekeepers in the game, but which one do you dislike fighting the most?
"Well, I reckon that's that. Time to go back to the hum-tum day to day of huntin' Muckroaches and all that jazz."
With the time freeze affecting Bilewater lifted, Hamrock strolls through on his way back home to Sinner's Road. Kimoona will catch up later... or so he thinks.
Strangely, Taro is nowhere to be seen. We would assume he would be celebrating and throwing wild parties alongside everyone else, but... no? Perhaps he's just too busy...
>!Or perhaps there are other powers at play...?!<
It's been a busy few days. Taro decides he's just going to take it easy for today...
>!No, I'm not going to say what he's been up to between the Moss Grotto investigation and the interrogation. That would be telling~!!<
Yeah I haven't got a lot of shipping material, but I might as well, since pretty much everyone else has.
((I couldn't find any pictures of this pit without the bridge, sorry))
Taro finally gets around to something that has been on his bucket list for a while: Investigating alleged pollution in Moss Grotto... that is, if Moncer is willing to let him. Probably not, but it's worth a try, he thinks.
>!However, he's also been talking to some pilgrims in passing. About what, though? That's not for you to know right now...!<
Both knowing they only have an hour to do this, the two Stilkin make haste.
Taro hasn't been seen since the time freeze hit Bilewater... what happened to him?
Making matters worse... Kimoona is angry. Oh no...
Kimoona: "Why I oughta..."
Hamrock: "Shorty's place is really cramped, and smells. Never knew he lived like this."
Kimoona: *sigh* "Hammy, you know Taro doesn't like being called that! I think it's nice of him to give us a place to stay, even if the smell takes... some adjusting."
Hamrock: "Think he'll be back in time for dinner?"
Kimoona: "I'm certain. He told me he's got everything I need in here to do my magic~!"
As New Verdania turns back to normal, Taro decides to take some time to look around. He could buy tools and supplies, interact with the locals, or just do some sightseeing.
((Alright I would've posted this yesterday, but I was at work when the Lost Zydon fight ended, and this is supposed to take place just after, AND I WAS TOO TIRED AND CAUGHT UP IN OTHER INTERACTIONS. AAAAAAHHH-))
