The Map to the Crypt is not a map at all, just some directions.
This means it's time for...
Travel sequence!
It is the dead of night.
I am likely to be eaten by a Dreugh.
Dohoho, what a stealthy highwayman.
I refuse to pay him.
Hey, he has a Glass Warhammer!
DO WANT
Eh, it does one less damage than my current hammer.
Oh well, always nice to have a backup hammer.
(One day I will be able to dual-wield them, one day...)
I come to the graveyard mentioned in the directions.
Now I have to head Northeast until I find a gully.
What exactly is a gully?
I am going to assume that this slight depression is a Gully and follow it north.
Hey, it WAS a Gully!
Oh god not this crap again.
Why is it always dark.
I don't even have Maelin to hand me torches this time.
I do still have two torches left over from the Lich's lair, thankfully.
There is a dark room with lots of doors.
And a locked gate.
I am going to investigate the doors.
There are pressure plates behind each door.
I guess this is a pressure plate puzzle.
I solve the puzzle through trial and error and the gate opens.
That wasn't so bad.
This is so bad.
Oh god Ghosts. I don't have any weapons that can hurt them.
Who even designed this crypt. This is meant to hold dead bodies why is there a bottomless pit.
There is a hole in the bridge, which I jump across.
Skeletons apparently cannot jump. I laugh at them from across the pit.
There was one on my side of the bridge, but I trick it into falling into this hole.
This door is locked.
So is this one.
daisies.
GERONIMO!
There were skeletons waiting for me.
I cannot keep my torch out in combat, and since it is dark in here combat consisted of me flailing about in the dark.
flailflailflail
More flailing.
Oh dear.
I hope this isn't the Paladin's blood. He still needs to give me that hammer.
I rest and level up.
Oh look a deep pit.
Why do you keep doing this to me, Mod programmer.
I land on a ledge shortly below. Something isn't right here...
Indeed.
You again!
Please, a moment of your time.
Alright, I'm listening.
(to a wall...)
Freddy, All I truly wanted to do was build an alliance between the two of us.
Oh my.
This is flattering.
And yet all I have done in return is to manipulate and twist you.
I still feel that together we can become great. I can still give you my full power.
Oh my, Infinite Magical power or a hammer?
I am so torn.
Hey, this is where I'm supposed to meet the Paladin.
Good. Once he arrives, feel free to make your choice.
Yeah. In the meantime, I'm kinda tired. I think I'll take a nap in my mind.
Oh no, really, that isn't necessary.
I've got nothing better to do until he shows up.
Oh dear...
What the...
YOU BASTARD
The tavern area is completely abandoned.
Tender and the other Personalities are nowhere to be found.
Cleon the Butcher shows up. Apparently he, Aquella, and Tender got a little too bold with their rebellion and things went south.
Tender got kidnapped and the other Personalities are guarding her.
It's time for shit to get real, Cleon.
You too, Aquella.
I have my allies and my Hammer.
LET'S DO THIS
Some guy with a really long name is the first to go.
He was the only one in the immediate area.
I head deeper into the Prison-mind.
There's another one.
He meets his very Smashed end quickly.
All of these Personalities are pathetic.
My Hammer demands a worthy opponent.
None of them meet that demand.
This is the last room in the prison. Tender must be in one of these cells.
Ah, here she is.
Apparently Tender is now "Awake" and is as powerful as the Armor.
She exerts her power by adding Color to the Armor's realm.
While she may be in control of the realm, the Armor is still bonded to me. I'm going to need the Hammer if I want Tender to have full control over the armor.
This looks kinda nice.
Unfortunately, Tender quickly withdraws the color. She doesn't want to spread herself too thin.
THEY'RE POSING AS A TEAM
SHIT JUST GOT INCREDIBLY REAL
And suddenly the Armor shows up to spoil the Realness.
Between the four of us, though, he goes down like a rock.
And there's only one of him this time, too.
This, I can get behind.
