Last time on Dungeon Travelers 2, Mio was on the border between life and death!
Mother...is that you? I'm coming to where you are now....
Not on my watch! We're out of here!
Back on the world map, we get a little box telling us there's a new place to go to! Lovely! Alright, we're back, and Mio should be back to life in about....now.
Eh? Oh. I'm alive again!
*whispers * Say, Renko...did you know Mio's mother had passed away?
*whispers * Nope. It's never come up until now.
*whispers * Are you sure we should be taking her to these dangerous places? I mean, with her mother gone and all, it just seems so...tragic!
*whispers * Gosh, it's just like one of those daily soap operas! I wonder if she has any siblings with dark pasts...
*whispers * Maybe we should let her stay behind at the library like Lilian!
*whispers *Are you insane?! Trust me, she'd be better off he-
So...your mom's dead, huh? That kinda sucks.
...Ikuno....please.
Ikuno! That's so rude! I can't believe you would say something like that!
? My mom? She's fine though?
Wait, then what was all that about-
WELP, now that that's been taken care of! It's time to go back...to the...library. Ugh.
Back at the library... I see you got rid of the boss at the forest! Wonderful! Now, wasn't that a nice picnic?
Yes. Fun.
I knew you'd agree! Unfortunately, it's time to get back to work, there's a ruin to the east and....
Yeah. Whatever. Got it.
Aww, there's no need to be such a spoil sport about it! It's an adventure! Go out there, and...do your adventuring thing~!
'_'
A couple new gear updates! I got this dagger+4, but I'm a dumb and I like seeing big numbers, so I end up giving Ikuno the handaxe+3 instead. The boss seal gives us a nice passive that increases our chances of crit, the ghost seal reduces your chance of getting crit, and the taoxie seal increases your lightning resistance. And now, onward!Dungeon music:
Shrine of wrapplBattle music:
Shooting StarWelcome to shrine of wrappl, home of lame monsters and probably one of the best battle themes in the game :V Well this place sure looks...cozy.
Right???
Say, Mio...you're sure you're fine, right?
Yes, I'm fine. Why do you ask?
Seriously, what are you, her mother?
Aw, man....this place doesn't look delicious at all.Why can't any of these boss dudes ever live in like...a chocolate dungeon? Or a candy one...
Tell you what, if we ever find an edible dungeon, we'll send you in solo. C'mon, let's go.
Doors, doors, and a chest! With unidentified accessory. But as the party leaves the room... Oh great, we've got company....wait holy **** is that a chainsaw?! Everyone kill the **** out of her before she kills us all!
Agreed. What about the other one?
Eh, just some Super Mario wanna-be. She's probably harmless.
New enemies! The tanuki girl is exactly what's written on the tin. She has two stick things, because she can hit twice...and it hurts. The creature is tanky, hits pretty hard, and can cast. Combine this with wielding some sort of death gearsaw thing and you'll know why I always focus on them first :V You guys hear that?
Hear what? Is it the ramen guy!?
No, it sounded like...footsteps I guess?
Oh. Sorry. I'm only good at hearing food. Like the sizzle of meat on a grill, or the sound of someone putting sprinkles on a donut....
Right, whate-wait, sprinkles on a donut? Really?
Suddenly, encounter! Oh god, not the chainsaws again! Everyone focus on her!
What about that witch back there?
Crap, I didn't even see her. ****!
Man, those bananas look gross....
New enemies again! The sorceress is...a sorceress. She casts. Dies real fast, as sorceresses are wont to do. The banaagos are...well, what you see is what you get. :V They have an "attack" that decreases their defense and restores your health, like the cherries from last dungeon. Don't worry everyone! I've got my ROULETTE CIRCUS!
WAIT, DON'T USE THA-
Yeah, uh. Totally frozen again. Yep.
I just wanna SMASH THINGSSSSSSS
MIO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP USING THAT
I HATE ROULETTE CIRCUS. Anyway, the enemies go down. But at WHAT COSTLots of adventuring later..... Oh my god....is that ICE CREAM? In a dungeon?! HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT? I'LL TAKE TWENTY
C-calm down, Conet....
It's the Gold Pengiun Creamery! Like the ramen bear, you can randomly encounter them in a dungeon for cheap HP/TP restoration. The ramen stand focuses more on HP, and the ice cream is better for TP. Right now, their selection is pretty meh though. I buy the party some banana ice. Even in a dungeon, we can find ice cream stands...There really is a god.
Uhhh....right. Anyway. Let's move on.
Oh man, now it's all you can eat fruit?! I lied before, this place really is delicious! I love this place!
After a little more exploring... Hmm....That's weird...I'm supposed to be out of here by now. Maybe I should've taken a left turn at Albuquerque?
Uh...who are you supposed to be?
Oh, customers! *ahem * I'm Souffle, adventurer extraordinaire! I sell treasures! Want to see?
Treasures, eh? Treasures that you stole, right?
That's right! I-wait, no! I didn't steal them! I'm just a regular adventurer!
Then how come your class says "Treasure Hunter"?
That's...um.....please buy something?
*sigh * Whatever. What've you got?
Souffle is the wandering merchant of the game. She sells random unidentified gear, as well as rare items you can't buy instore, like this healing item that heals ALL HP for one party member, or the maharaja curry which heals 150 HP/TP. For most of the game though, you won't have enough cash to make buying them feasible, so we'll mostly just focus on the gear. Waiii! Thanks for looking!See you later! .....by the way, you wouldn't happen to know the way out of here, would you?
....nope. Not at all. You're out of luck.
Aww...Well, see you again maybe.
LOOT MONTAGE YEAHHHHH
Of note is the last one, it's a res item that's worth about 1200(!) gold to buy.A little more exploring, and... There's those footsteps again. I swear, there's someone following us!
Maybe it's just Souffle again?
Well, there's only one way to find out. We'll all hole up in that room, and then we'll jump whoever's outside it, got it?
That sounds fun!
Who do you think it is?
Who knows. Diehard fan?
Say, can we go out for ice cream again after? That stuff is great!
The party sticks to the plan, and when the footsteps draw closer.... GOTCHA NOW, SCUMBAG
E-EEEEEK!
Eh? Monica? What are you doing here?
Oooooh, it's the shopkeeper lady! Maybe she's got fired!
She did look pretty new at the job.
I didn't get fired!
Then why are you here then?
I...um....I can't tell you that.
Right. I'm sure. Well you're coming with us, I'm sure Irena will be happy to find out that you were sneaking around this whole time.
Wait, not that! Anything but that!
So are you gonna tell us then?
I can't do that either.....Sorry everyone, but I'm gonna have to fight my way out of here!
Great.
Okay, but if we beat you, you'd better give us a discount at the store!
Suddenly, Monica with evasion buff! And random scrubs. This happens a lot in this game; since a solo boss would be too easy, they usually give you a couple other guys to deal with and it can be a huge pain. The bear on the left(Bear Predator) is a fighter class, and the sheepy thing on the right(Cotton Merry) is a magic user. As usual, focus down the caster first before going for the other guys!All in all, the fight isn't too hard. Monica and her little tube arms and butter knife aren't much of a match for our team. Here the bear has used war cry to buff all enemy attack stats, but it still isn't enough to do much, as long as you have enough healing every turn. Unfortunately, about 3/4 of the way through the battle, I ran out of croissants. Melvy was on full offensive casting because our melee damage right now isn't enough to end the battle alone....and so I had a moment of weakness. I used roulette circus. I HATE ROULETTE CIRCUSWelp, it's looking pretty dire again. No croissants. Melvy is running out of TP and is still frozen. Everyone is 1-2 hits away from dying. Suddenly, Monica decides to keel over and die. Thanks, Monica!Next time on Dungeon Travelers 2, we finish the shrine once and for all! Also, THE LIBRARY claims yet another victim, post your votes on who to keep in the party!

I was in one of the postgame dungeons and got into an encounter with this glorious monster, named SATURDAY KNIGHT. She is wearing a rainbow cape, and her horse has a rainbow mane. BALLIN'
