Now For Something Completely Different
Ah, Waggy Saggy is still in Depths, but we have all this nice jewelry. We should fix that.
Speaking of, this is really what we should we wearing all the time, although rF+ might be better then Regen if we don't get some rF somewhere else. Cons means we don't have to drop potions.
Anyway a quick search brings up the most important thing I'll need for the next 5000 turns.
Ran into this on the way back up. Geez, this could be dangerous, or at least worth piety.
After a long long walk back upstairs, Waggy Saggy goes to buy it then heads down to our loot pile to organize.
Drop everything we can't use in battle, switch around some rings, drop off books, drop all our potions, and drop that bardiche and some other useless armor. I upgraded our Demon Trident to a +4 Demon Trident of Piercing, and we'll bless it with Kiku once we get back to 6 star piety.
I put on the Ring of Ice since we won't need to worry about fire where we're going.
Now we just walk to our destination....
TouhouCrawl needs more Slime Girls. Entering Slime Pits.
This is the Slime Pits. As you may have guessed, it is full of slimes. Mini-Suikas are especially common here.
Also in sight is the ubiquitous Brown Ooze, which is like it's little brother the Jelly will roll up to you and try to eat you.
There's also a very dangerous Eye of Draining. Eyes are pretty common here, and none of them are fun.
Anyway the most interesting feature of The Slime Pits is the walls. Getting adjacent to the walls will actually hurt you with acid damage. Of course, the amulet we bought will grant resistance to that, but it still hurts.
Anyway most of these fights will be solved by spamming Englaciation, so the problems won't be very bad.
Waggy Saggy also runs into an Azure Jelly too. These guys are a problem for us because they resist cold. They don't resist Orb of Destruction though, ha ha.
The floors in Slime are small and there's no loot in Slime, except at the end. Some of the stairs are in disconnected bubbles throughout the floor, which means we'll be climbing up and down a lot of stairs.
Exploring Slime 2 Waggy Saggy ran into another new enemy.
Acid Blobs are the designated Ranged Enemy of Slime Pits. They're like Brown Oozes but they spit acid from a distance, which we resist. They love corroding armor though, but our amulet protects us.
No upstairs to find so Waggy Saggy goes down further to D3 and finds the usual assortment of slimes. She starts pounding them with Fridge but more enemies appear!
This purple guy is the dreaded Shining Eye, the most annoying enemy in the Slime Pits. They can't hurt us but they can mutate us often, normally with bad mutations! Just seeing one of these guys prompts a switch in amulets to the rMut one, then we freeze it and all its friends to death.
Now Waggy has some upstairs to climb up.
We go back up to Floor 2 and find more stuff to kill, before moving back down.
Now on Slime 4, a bigger floor then the last bunch we've had, but still the same as the others, until...
We run into a Golden Eye!
They travel in packs, and are deadly to deal with unprepared. They also can't hurt us, but they spam confusion and blink around, meaning if we don't wear Clarity amulets (which she switches to), then we'll be sitting ducks for any other hostiles that come near. Thankfully nobody else was around through, so Waggy Saggy killed them easily.
Down to floor 5 Waggy Saggy runs into a Pulsating Lump, which mutates with its melee attack, but we Freeze it to death before it can get to us.
There's also Great Orb of Eyes, which loves to spam status effects, but thankfully we have high MR and it can't really hurt us much.
Death Jellies are rarer jellies that can cause rot and resist cold, and are immune to negative energy. Very dangerous, so we have to kill them with Orb of Destruction!
Finally Waggy Saggy reaches Slime 6, the final floor of the Pits. We use Magic Mapping and find the whole layout of the floor.
Slime 6 is a large floor with only one large structure in the middle. it's a big temple to Jivya, the God of Slimes, and the walls are filled with loot, and more importantly the Slimy Rune. However, we can't dig into them yet...
I clear out the outer ring of the floor first, dotted with hostile slimes, and we run into the final Eye enemy, the Eye of Devastation, who can shoot beams of immense pain at us. They're very dangerous if they have line of sight to you, so we kill it quick.
Nothing else of note, so Waggy Saggy approaches the center...
Where she meets the final enemy of Slime Pits, the boss of the floor!
The Royal Jelly is a terrifying slime. It has an immense amount of vitality, hits like a truck, and is very fast.
Most deadly of all, is that whenever it takes damage, it spits out a small army of other high-level slimes, and as such can turn a bad situation into a horrifying one. The best plan is to lure it out so we have room to Fridge it, however it's imperative to clear its friends first for the most even battlefield.
Waggy Saggy runs away for now.
Defeating the other slimes nearby, she gets a level up and starts summoning an army of friends to combat the Royal Jelly's army of slimes.
After summoning a large army, she finds the jelly and the battle ensues!
The Royal Jelly is quickly swarmed by Ice Bros, but soon enough the army is completely overwhelmed by a huge number of bad slimes.
But all is not lost, for The Royal Jelly takes a massive beating as a result.
Spamming Refrigeration as much as I can, the Royal Jelly is defeated, and our piles of loot are revealed!
But the slime army is still a problem, and Waggy has to run away with her Haste and come back to fight them one at a time.
Waggy starts digging into the vaults, and starts getting what she can find.
The first vault has an artefact amulet, which turns out to be...
Really awful.
The next one has some potions and coins and wands, nothing terribly good.
The third one has nothing at all of value that we don't have already...
But the last one...
Quite possibly the best gauntlets we'll find! I equip them immediately. Of course, there's also what we really came for here...
Waggy Saggy picks up our third rune, the Slimy Rune! The power of the rune sends waves through the dungeon, and somewhere in the deepest pits of the dungeon, a door to the most deadly realm of the Dungeon of ZUN has awakened...
Anyways I went back to the stash and spent our last turns organizing.
-Nothing much has changed since Serela's turn, except we have the third rune, new gloves, a buffed trident ready to bless, and more piety to bring us closer to enhancing our favored weapon. Oh, and one higher level (I buffed int).
-Keep Conservation on unless we're threatened with mutations or confusion, possibly put on the ring of Fire Resist over Regen. They're both excellent rings to wear. If we get some other source of Fire Resistance, keep Regen on.
-We should consider just wiping out our mutations so that the shitty -Regen one is gone, that's crippling and not worth the two AC we get in return
-You suck Totaku and so does your Mutation Roulette weekly reminder.
-Just go back to Depths, probably, best bet at the moment.
-Be prepared to scrap that halberd soon, the trident is better and rC is the only reason we keep it around, even though Fridge does only minor damage to us.
