	Message: : : Chapter 3: From front to back all I see is stones... : Last time on Tour of Duty, we went upstairs to reach a small vault : containing the yellow Isfet Crystal and used it to speak to the amnesiac : Nazi on the Ground floor. He told us that if we play a brass instrument on : the blue rune in the middle of the foyer, the locked doors leading : underground will open (yay). Unfortunately, other than the device Muller : used, the only one we can find is in the capstone at the top of the : pyramid past all kinds of nasties (boo). : : After reloading my Nightmaren savegame, I ascend the ladder to Lock&Load. : : I decide to take the right door, behind which are several rooms of headlesses : and an extra pistol whose ammo I loot. I’ll spare you the journey to the : next save rune but I did manage to perform a tricky dodge between a V of : two puke balls in one of the archways and even then at least one of those : headlesses was softened up by two others. : : (above is a quote from the original. I don't know if it's in the dub) : After saving I go into a side room filled with columns and find my first real : treasure which brings me up to 4 XP and a total of 8 HP: an Emerald! : : There may not be much that’s interesting but it’s worth 11.9 thousand US : dollars. (How much is that in pounds Sterling?) I think I’ll keep it : around to decorate the living room with. : Anyhoo, sorry this write-up took so long even at time of writing as I haven’t : had time to write it until now. My own private Lh’owon is now closed for : the winter so I may have more time at weekends, other stuff : notwithstanding. It’s also now 7:00 Sunday and 16:17 Saturday IRL British : time. : After killing two more squids and a skelly, I loot a German corpse and talk : to him. : : : I know the feeling man. When I think of K.A.P, I grow very cold and twitch a : little too. : Two forces whose balance should have stabilised. Slowly decaying balance. : Then nothing. : Before my visual circuits start corroding from salt water damage, I continue : on to the other door. : Down the hallway leading north, I get ambushed by at least two or three : headless in a narrow corridor beside a door. : : : Oh shit! I thought I’d made it out through the side door, taking a couple of : hits in the process but now this other door in the middle east of the map : has locked, trapping me inside with the headless and skeletons. : LEROY JENKINS! : That was easier than I thought. Leroy’s plan actually worked this time. Too : bad he’s a skeleton now, only he’s still conscious and trying to fight : back the zombie virus. : Both doors are closed so I will nap for 30-40 minutes. : ZZZZZZZzzzzzzz : ZZZZZZZzzzzzzz : Urrgh. Tailmon? How did you get here? Where am I? Is Hikari with you? Ah yes. : Hang on what are you two doing? Oh I feel stronger when you do that, : though I don’t think Taichi and Takeru will approve. Thank you, I… : FROG BLAST THE VENT CORE! : : *gasp!* ach! Where am I? Aw crud I was enjoying that dream! How often does a : marine or future cyborg playing as a marine get to Jogress Evolve? John : spent 4 years in the freezer in space while I only get half an hour on the : cold, dirty floor in a dark pyramid. : Hang on, I didn’t know that Skitters appeared on this floor… oh, ew. Moving : right along through the locked door, I encounter two headlesses who are : keen to blast each other with their own gunk, making killing the first one : easier. : The halls loop back around to the west, to the first half of the side door : where another headless is wandering. I take the path north I missed : earlier which takes me to a room in the upper west with a save rune and : two doors facing each other; a warped and nasty version of Let’s make a : Deal. : Door number 1 on the left has two headless and a skeleton. Door number 2 has : exactly the same, plus a back room with a Nazi in it, guarded by two more : Kraken pants. : : : He then says I have a Yankee accent even though I think “Yankee” is a : derogatory term for New Yorkers and not just Americans in general. I don’t : think Eddings is from New York but what do I know? Maybe I’m just thinking : of the Yankees baseball team, I loved baseball in school. : : This guy’s name is Gunther. I ask what happened to his friends: Hans was the : Grif so he was on ammo duty. Behrens wasn’t well known by him. He liked : Joachim and hopes he’s okay. Spoiler alert: he’s not. : : Well if you wanted orange, I guess you got it. He gives us Cyberdemon advice : for the skeletons and like the others, he hates Muller. Leaving Gunther I : backtrack to the east loop and part two of Let’s make a deal. : My reward for both doors is two columned rooms with headlesses inside them : and a save rune in the back of number 2 (which isn’t marked on the map and : I don’t remember using Anywhere here). This room also contains a row of : columns to the east and the ladder upstairs in the northwest corner. : Now before I go upstairs after saving in a new slot, I asked a while back if : I should use the warp zone to skip to the uppermost level below the top. : You decided I shouldn’t so I will bypass it. : If you want to use it yourself, it’s behind a fake wall behind a false pillar : in the southwest room. (the fake one doesn’t show on the map) : The warp zone has a tear leading to “But they’re hungry” and one leading to : “Evil Undead Phantasms must die.” : I will however, take the EUPMD warp zone back down again after I get the : Jjaro flute to save precious minutes. I don’t know what path to take on : But they’re hungry just yet. : Climbing up the ladder, I find a headless camping the top and I fall back : down the ladder on my ass when I dodge his bile. : Climbing up again, I round the corner and present the next map. : : We are in a small junction above the south ladder. There is a body in the : room to the northwest of us so we will go there first. I have to kill : quite a few skeleton’s and headless to get to it. : : Another Nazi trinket for the canvas bag, I also loot the clip from his : pistol. : : Not on this floor they aren’t, and there’s only one just upstairs. What are : they anyway? : : : : They sound a little like tigers from Tomb Raider 2 actually, or maybe a : different enemy completely, I can’t remember. : This man is Hans, who carried the ammo for the soldiers. He tells me he : pulled a Grif and stashed it in a skull somewhere. It’s the only room : where the search command is worth a damn other than corpse looting. : He doesn’t seem to know Gunther at all but he knew little about Behrens and : Joachim. Muller never told him anything either. : They also wasted all their grenades on headlesses so I can’t get any up here. : :( : I am missing some information like Gunther telling us about how death feels : and I’m not showing all the dialogs but that is to avoid filling up the : memory as this is a long game with lots of dialog but I’ll try and cover : important parts and any highlights if I remember. : I continue northeast killing zombies and headlesses before finding a room : full of bones. : : When I search the inanimate skeleton in the corner, I find Hans’ ammo stash! : Past the winding cobblestone passage next to the bones I come across a lovely : columned room in the middle of the map. : : The two ladders to But they’re hungry are down the paths in front of me a bit : like on the ground floor but we want to find the second body in the : north-most hall. : I take a bit of damage from two skeletons near that room but it was worth it : as I now hold a silver bowl which is worth 1XP. : : It says there’s not much interesting but I disagree. It is made of a : near-priceless metal and I can use it for eating my cream of mushroom or : lentil soup. : The German in the room I passed can’t remember who he is but he does know : about some Spanish-speaking people: one of them walked through a false : wall across from the German’s body. : The usual things apply to monsters here though Hans ran into some skeletons : after Mrs Amnesiac died. He’s particularly upset about the headless. : : He hasn’t much else to say so I walk through the fake wall and retrieve the : blue crystal. : : : I actually have a blue crystal myself (made of glass I think) that looks like : the blue Chaos Emerald. : In fact, my old school friend Kristina has an image on her blog of something : that looks a lot like this very blue crystal in Pathways, which I : re-blogged in my log. : Blue Crystal in real life? : (the image wouldn't appear when I tried to imbed it so here's a link) : I’ve decided to take the right path of But they’re hungry as there’s a body I : can loot along the way. I make my way through a hoard of skeletons and : headless, taking two ammo clips from side rooms along the way and save my : game. : I then get some sleep and save again. Now it’s time for me to get some sleep : for real at time of writing as it’s after 10:30PM. : I’ll be rambling PID again in Chapter 3: … I’m glad that I don’t own this : room. : Nighty Night.
