T&T Dungeon 8 - Clockwork Cave

[seamonkey]

I keep the skull pattern for later and eat the green with yellow.

[PurpleKoopa]

Darkguyhades eats the red mushroom with white spots. He grows twice as tall! Unfortunately, he knocks his head on a stalactite and shrinks back to normal size.

Seamonkey pulls out the purple skull mushroom, but it withers up and within a few minutes without being eaten. He takes a bite out of the green mushroom with yellow spots, and yells, "EEEYAH!" It tastes nasty though.

It looks like eating the green mushroom with white spots did something. But what? Maybe you should try exploring different areas to see if it did anything...

[darkguyhades]

Eat white with red spots

[PurpleKoopa]

Darkguyhades eats the white mushroom with red spots. He has a strange feeling that the princess is in another castle.

[seamonkey]

I'll also eat the illuminating one. then I go back to every place yhat we've visited so far.

[darkguyhades]

I'll try eating the green with white stripes, then purple with skull pattern, I guess.

[PurpleKoopa]

Seamonkey eats the illuminating mushroom. He opens his mouth - light shoots out of it! It's bizarre, but it might come in handy later... Seamonkey also revisits every room, which is kind of redundant. You can still do things in other rooms without my reposting the room description (sorry if I didn't make that clear). There are probably other rooms you haven't been to yet though!

Darkguyhades considers eating the purple mushroom with the skull on it, but it's pretty obvious that those are bad for you.

But if I get an extra life before eating it, I should logically be fine!

I choose Monster Toss, Charge, and Armor Breaker.

Spell Book: Monster Toss, Charge, Gravity Hammer, Rockshield, Bodygaurd, and Rock out.

[seamonkey]

Well I'll take not dead yet, uncurse and vengence beam. As for what I go into battle with, I choose not dead yet as a passive, Build skeleton, bone bomb, ectoplasmic beam, bone whack, toxic and uncurse.

[Mr.Onion]

Smiting, Energy Converter, and Charge Cannon.

[CheeseLord]

I'll take Toastmaster, Flame Sword and Fiery Vengeance. I'll use Toastmaster and every move I have except Scorch and Explosive Defense.

[PurpleKoopa]

Mr.Onion just needs to choose six moves and a passive for the next battle. Also, don't forget that you can explore now - the boss won't come to you, you have to come to the boss! Okay, actually it will come to you if you take too long, so get to exploring! There are two exits no one's tried yet - the one west of the mushroom cave and the one south of the mines.

[darkguyhades]

I go west.

[PurpleKoopa]

Darkguyhades and the rest of the group head into the toxic gas filled tunnel. They make it halfway and hit a checkpoint. The toxic gasses catch up to them, and they collapse...

WIZARD X 2

WIZARD X 1

Everyone wakes up at the halfway point in the tunnel. If it weren't for the 1-Up Mushroom, you wouldn't have survived! (or at least you would have to continue from the mushroom caves) The wizards finish their way through the tunnel.

SPRING

This cave seems peaceful and quiet compared to the rest of the mines. It feels almost sacred. Water flows from a small stone fountain in the middle of the room. A statue of a diamond sprays water into the fountain.

[darkguyhades]

Examine the statue

[PurpleKoopa]

Darkguyhades examines the diamond statue. Just to be clear, it's a stone statue of a diamond, not a statue made out of diamonds. Although this statue is unlike any diamond you've ever seen - it depicts the diamond with long eyebrows and feminine eyes. Weird.

There's something in Gregor's cabin that no one has checked yet...

[darkguyhades]

I go do that.

[PurpleKoopa]

Darkguyhades heads back to the cabin. (By the way, you can still go into other rooms you've previously visited without explicitly saying "I go into that room again", just check the room description)

GREGOR'S CABIN

Gregor's cabin is small but cozy. A stove is busy cooking something in the corner of the room. The door east leads back into the expanse.

[CheeseLord]

I'll go see what's cooking.

[PurpleKoopa]

CheeseLord checks the potbelly stove. It's set on "Inferno" and the dial has rusted off. No wonder it's so hot in here! CheeseLord peers through little stove door window - the stove's roasting a key, strangely enough.
