SIGN    Clan Leader, Ashura Kai     Orcelott [00:30] Ketchum     We're sorry, Orcelott-san. [00:33] Remy     We weren't expecting the     Attack Master to join in. [00:39] Remy     I mean... how could we? [00:42] Orcelott     There's a Unique Scenario on the line. [00:44] Orcelott     You should've expected     top players to show up. [00:47] Pencilgon     Why didn't you do it yourself, then? [00:52] Orcelott     I've got better things to do. [00:56] Pencilgon     Oh, yeah? SIGN     Advanced Players Teach Beginners the Ropes #81          74: Add (Advanced)     Seriously, to unlock the elite jobs you've got to at least make it to Sixburg.     How many times do I have to tell people this?     Maybe we should put it on the FAQ.          75: Alinoiyu (Beginner)     I have a question for our esteemed elders. I was picking up equipment     in Secondale when I ran into this player. He had the cutest talking bunny     with him. How can I befriend this monster? [00:58] Orcelott     Anyway, this rabbit is definitely     the key to some unique stuff. [01:02] Orcelott     And we're dealing with a beginner     who barely knows the system. [01:06] Orcelott     Threaten him however you need to. [01:08] Orcelott     Just get the information from him. [01:10] Branch     Sir. [01:11] Ketchum     Fine. [01:13] Pencilgon     Not that I have a problem with pet rabbits... [01:16] Pencilgon     But as Ashura Kai, shouldn't we figure     out how to deal with that first? [01:28] Orcelott     This again? [01:31] Orcelott     I told you my policy on that. [01:33] Orcelott     Unique monsters aren't made to be beatable. [01:36] Orcelott     At the moment, we're the only ones who     know that thing's spawn conditions. [01:41] Orcelott     Just encountering it nabs us experience,     so if we play our cards right, [01:45] Orcelott     we can use it to increase     Ashura Kai's battle power. [01:49] Branch     There's nothing to be gained     by fighting that thing. [01:51] Ketchum     Going whole-hog on that fight would     just be throwing good items away. [01:55] Remy     Agreed. [02:04] Pencilgon     Ah, I figured. [02:05] Pencilgon     These people really are useless. [02:11] Orcelott     Hey, where are you going? [02:12] Orcelott     You're supposed to wait     until the others arri— [02:14] Pencilgon     So sorry. [02:15] Pencilgon     I've got better things to do. [02:27] Orcelott     Screw you, Big Sis. [02:30] Pencilgon     Ashura Kai used to get hate     from everyone around them [02:33] Pencilgon     and made "thrive on hate" their philosophy. [02:36] Pencilgon     But since the update patch made     player-killing a riskier venture, [02:42] Pencilgon     they've changed. [02:44] Pencilgon     Avoiding danger, seeking stability... [02:46] Pencilgon     the current Ashura Kai can't defeat that. [02:53] Pencilgon     Hard to believe [02:55] Pencilgon     I'm putting my neck on the     line for one little NPC. [02:59] Pencilgon     Who would have thought? [03:02] Pencilgon     It's a huge gamble, win or lose... [03:05] Pencilgon     I'll bet everything I have, and win. [03:10] Pencilgon     To bury that Unique monster, [03:11] Pencilgon     one of the Seven Colossi... [03:15] Pencilgon     Wethermon the Tombguard. [03:22] Pencilgon     Watch me, Set-chan.

He thinks he can     trick us with that weird armor! [06:20] Ketchum     Thinks he's pretty clever, eh? [06:22] Man     Look at that! [06:24] Woman     A monster?! [06:30] Man     And there he goes. [06:32] Man     What was that all about? [06:35] Remy     There he is! [06:36] Ketchum     Get back here, you! [06:40] Sunraku     Damn it. [06:41] Sunraku     Emul, let's move on to the next area! [06:43] Emul     Of course! [06:47] Remy     I know where he's going. [06:50] Remy     He's making a beeline for the Iron Ruins. [06:53] Ketchum     Let's tell 'em to set an ambush at the gate! [06:56] Lass     Got it. We're on our way. [07:00] Emul     Excuse me, Sunraku-san?! [07:02] Sunraku     What? [07:03] Emul     Wasn't our destination the     Prismatic Forest Grotto? [07:06] Emul     This is the way to the Iron     Ruins of the Divinity! [07:10] Sunraku     Yeah, it's a fake-out! [07:12] Sunraku     If I went straight to my real destination,     they'd catch on in a minute! [07:15] Sunraku     I'll make 'em think I'm     heading for the ruins, [07:18] Sunraku     while I cut through an alley and head     for the Prismatic Forest Grotto! [07:22] Sunraku     If I can just shake 'em off for a second... [07:25] Sunraku     They'll just go to wait for me     at the wrong gate! [07:31] Ketchum     Damn it. Where'd he go? [07:33] Ketchum     Just head for the gate     that leads to the Ruins! [07:36] Remy     Right. [07:45] Sunraku     You see that, Emul? [07:46] Sunraku     In order to truly deceive another, [07:48] Sunraku     you must always prepare     at least one obvious lie, [07:50] Sunraku     one truth that seems like a lie,     and one lie that seems truthful. [07:54] Emul     How educational! [07:56] Sunraku     I learned that from Pencilgon, actually. [08:01] Sunraku     Okay, perfect. [08:03] Sunraku     Deception comple— [08:11] Sunraku     How did he know?! [08:17] Sunraku     Don't tell me... he's more than     some muscle-headed gaming addict?!

[08:42] Narrator     The friend system is proof     of close bonds within a game. [08:48] Narrator     A friend request is an expression     of intent to build such a bond. [08:54] Sunraku     Why send me a friend request? [08:56] Sunraku     Is this a plot to get my guard down? [08:59] Sunraku     No... if that were the case,     I'd be cut in half already. [09:03] Sunraku     Are you trying to build     a friendly relationship [09:06] Sunraku     so I'll voluntarily spill     info about the scenario? [09:14] Sunraku     Psyger-0... [09:16] Sunraku     You're observant enough to     see through my perfect diversion [09:19] Sunraku     and to suss out my true destination. [09:22] Sunraku     You've got to be plotting something. [09:26] Sunraku     But I'm a gamer who's been through     all kinds of PvP before... [09:31] Sunraku     So bring it on. [09:36] Sunraku     I'll play into your hands     and still beat you!

[10:39] Sunraku     I appreciate the offer,     but I'll have to say no. [10:44] Psyger     O... [10:45] Psyger     Of course you would! [10:47] Psyger     Um, so... I'm sorry if I've     ruined any of your fun! [10:53] Psyger     I-I suppose I've been very rude... [10:57] Psyger     Then... good luck with your game! [11:00] Sunraku     Oh... yeah.

[11:26] Sunraku     Yeah, she's quite a gamer. [11:28] Sunraku     Probably four or five times stronger than me. [11:31] Emul     Though I'm sure your vorpal     soul is by far the stronger! [11:35] Sunraku     I appreciate that. [11:37] Sunraku     Though I wish she'd tell me what     the hell a vorpal soul is already. [11:42] Sunraku     Still... maybe I'm overthinking it? [11:47] Sunraku     Well, I'll write it off as an encounter     with a more rational Lycagon, [11:50] Sunraku     put it behind me and move on! [11:56] Psyger-0     That girl with him didn't     have a name over her head. [12:01] Psyger-0     I guess she was an NPC, huh?

[13:08] Emul     Even in a cave, it's so bright! [13:11] Emul     Sunraku-san! [13:13] Sunraku     Photoluminescent moss, huh? [13:15] Sunraku     So it's one of those deals. [13:18] Sunraku     I've been greeted by plenty of sights     as I come out at the end of a tunnel. [13:22] Sunraku     Rifles pointed at me, shooting stars     passing in front of my eyes...

[15:14] Sunraku     If I don't damage the stomach,     I can snag it as an item! SIGN    Storage Papillon Nectar Pouch     Used by the Storage Papillon to store its nectar. It's very fragile, so it's difficult to obtain with the nectar intact. The nectar is fun to eat and fun to throw. [15:19] Sunraku     What's this say?     "Storage Papillon Nectar Pouch"? [15:23] Sunraku     "Fun to throw"? [15:25] Emul     That was quite a skillful     display, Sunraku-san! [15:28] Sunraku     You said it! [15:29] Sunraku     Let's keep gathering up those item drops!

[18:26] Sunraku     The unrelenting wave of attacks [18:28] Sunraku     has created an exploitable crack     in the Quad Beetle's armor! [18:32] Sunraku     The Empire Bee Queen gives     the crucial order to attack! [18:36] Sunraku     Quad Beetle's in big trouble now! [18:48] Sunraku     And it's done! [18:50] Sunraku     Once he had her in firing range,     Quad Beetle flew right into the queen! [18:55] Sunraku     With their queen gone,     the bees are scattering! [19:02] Sunraku     And right back to his meal, huh? [19:05] Sunraku     With a near-death injury and everything. [19:08] Sunraku     That's what I call a kingly air.

[20:40] Emul     Exploiting the labor of others     doesn't quite seem fair to me. [20:44] Sunraku     What're you talking about? [20:45] Sunraku     It's a bug-eat-bug world. [20:47] Sunraku     You gotta do what it takes     to be the last one standing. [20:50] Emul     Harrumph. [20:54] Sunraku     The area boss here is a spider, right? [20:58] Emul     Yes, indeed!
