The trend of Hank having an absurdly different team than Jerry’s
didn’t stop with the first two jobs. In the final half of World 1, music
was the name of the game as Gilgabot swung the RNGhammer twice more,
landing upon the bard and the dancer as the two skills to accompany the
Blue and Time Mages. Yeah, this was promising to be toe-tappingly
exploitable adventure.
Still, the final dungeon of World 1
ended up being a bit of a slog. “I don’t get it” he said “Isn’t the Blue
Mage supposed to be overpowered?”
“Yeah, but like all the mages,
they have more endgame power.” Lenna replied “There aren’t many decent
spells to learn in the first world”
“Plus we’ve been running away
from all our battles like a bunch of assholes, so we’re still at like
level 10 >:|” said Faris. “I’d love to spam Aqua Breath on everything
if I could cast it more than five times before running out of MP”
“Hmmm. True.” said Hank. “But when we get that Chicken Knife, you’ll thank me.”
And then Galuf chimed in. “If we’re done here, I’m going to go off and have a grandpa adventure.”
“All right, that’s cool. Have fun.”
But
after a couple hours of being a 3-member party, Hank and the girls
realized that Galuf was the social anchor of the group and things were
just to awkward without him. Thus it was necessary to go after him.
And
so, after a few tenacious boss battles (the Titan’s earth-shaking death
throes almost blocked the low-HP party from proceeding entirely), they
traveled to Galuf’s World… where everyone was everyone else’s grandpa.
It’s
hard to say exactly how World 2 will go, but Hank’s plans aren’t going
to change much. Ironically, they’re likely to keep on runnin’ and never
face the music when it comes to random battles. They’ll likely face
Exdeath at level 20. But Hank knows full well that the Blue Mage and
Bard will become bigger and bigger bastards as time goes on, and he
intends to use every godawful trick at their disposable to see things
through to the bitter end.
