Often in these games you can't do everything, but this is a good order to start doing stuff.

since most of that stuff is just things lying around, it's possible to do most of it. I'll just have to dig up the cards.

Welp, here goes!

Last page completed:



So here's the loot we picked up:

Four of these dudes:



Moderately worthless but better than nothing and they're free.

From the thief:


From the priest:


From the mage:


From the fighter:


And finally, from Big Bill:


We've got enough energy to harvest all this stuff, but I wanted to confirm that y'all wanted to just attach the whole lot. It would mean being kicked out of the SWU, if that's a thing we still care about. If we're not bolting all this stuff on what do you want to keep and what do we get rid of?

I didn't scan the item cards - if you pick one I'll do that next time. They're all pretty good.
The sword gives you +1 ESPRIT in close combat and all attacks use -1 ESSENCE. The bow gives you +1ESPRIT and lets you act as a ranged troop type. The mace causes every hit you inflict to do +1 damage. The staff allows you to act as a mage in battles and adds 1 to any damage done with magic in battles. We'll still have to chuck the garbage we're carrying away to get one of these things.

We move on to 219, to hear what Hardmod has to say:



And with that ominous news, we're outside and at a crucial juncture! We can move on immediately or rest.

Where to?

Do nott attache everything to ye. We be a SWU man through and through.

Grab the Rocking thigh, and replace something with it and change out to the Rogue head, we have a decent army, so we should do more warring than raising from here on out.

Don't we have some demon-dudes waiting for us? Grab the full army and head South to Thin White Duke Lake.

Not sure what to get, but we should go east, and that means keeping our SKU membership for a while yet.

Bolt everything on, but don't replace anything either. It's time we start following in our....friend's(?) footsteps! Let us create a two-assed, four- legged, four-armed, twin-headed Bone-ified Asskicking Skeleton!

I guess then we can head to Bilgeton. Maybe there will be an opportunity to get hired as a Rockette line.

Looks like most people want to head over to Bilgeton. This is the end game - there's no going back from whichever direction we go. Bilgeton's a good direction to wind up especially since we missed it earlier.


Equally split between keeping and ditching union membershipMost people want to stay in the union. Any parts we don't take I'll raise into our army instead. Whichever way we go the game will restore most of our ESSENCE so don't worry about that.

There's one vote for the staff. If we take that we can't raise the mage because the staff is part of his kit, he'll just raise as a generic skeleton worker instead. Those guys are about as good as Bobs.

because he's good (it's to give an early boost in battles otherwise you'd get thumped)

some of the adventurers here have a fist as well, it's not that common in this game

hi how are you

Let's head on to the bad end Bilgeton!

First of all here's the end of the last page:



Now we've decided to keep the adventurer parts, replacing what we have so as to stay a member of the SWU. We have to decide whether we're throwing away the Monkey Paw or the Six-Fingered Hand to do this.

Since we're not using the golem arm we can raise Big Bill. Here's what we get:



He's a very good addition to the army. The only downside (and it's only sort of a downside) is his size - he will always be the first in line to take damage in the unit he's in. He also gets to add all his FIST dice together in the first round of combat which is useful.

Here's the staff which we picked up, it interacts well with the gimp leg:



We didn't use very much ESSENCE doing all that thanks to our skills and the shears, so 50 ESSENCE is a full recovery.

Anyway so moving on, we're going to Bilgeton. 360:



And of course something stops us. Another witch. What do we do?

and which hand do we chuck away for the priest hand? (monkey paw or six fingered)

Here's the current adventure scroll:
