| Day 5 The Mushroom King has announced the presence of a dangerous threat to all living beings: the Dark Creatures. Specifically, a large swarm will arrive in about a week (day 12), and it is advised that every town ready its defenses. New items: short sword, long sword, short bow, long bow, buckler. The exploration rules have been changed, though the final results are roughly the same. The Library's cost has been reduced to 280c, 28E. SephirothKirby (ShyGuys) 305c House x1 Mage Guild ShyGuy/Moneybag x3 ShyGuy/Spellbook x1 ShyGuy x4 Notes: To help your fundraising, the ShyGuy mage casts Coin Shower rather than gathering coins. This gives you 5 coins per point of energy (I'll abbreviate that as 5c/E from now on), and the ShyGuys get +2E for magic, so you get 30 coins. BSkullDragoshi (Koopas) 395c House x1 Koopa/Moneybag x4 Koopa x3 Your Koopas find a lone Ostro in the plains, seemingly lost. They catch it and get it home. (Ostros count towards your population limit and have an upkeep cost of 5c, just as any other unit. Right now, all you can do with it is have a scout ride it, adding +3E to that unit's exploration. However, Ostros are more useful in battle.) Prince Toad (Toads) 8c House x1 Mushroom Hut Tech: Forging Toad/Moneybag x5 Toad x2 Spear x1 The Toads come across the remains of a merchant caravan. No dead bodies are there to be seen. The caravan was almost completely sacked; all the Toads find is an old scroll and a few coins. (You found 12 coins and gained the Forging technology.) On the way back home, they find a wandering Toad, who tells the explorers that her town was destroyed by a swarm of dark creatures. The Toads invite her to reside in the village. (A Toad joins your tribe. It won't cost you any upkeep for today.) Notes: Toads cost 115c, not 110c. You wouldn't have had enough to pay for all the upkeep costs were it not for the lucky exploration. Chunky (Goombas) 63c House x1 Bonus level x1 Goomba/Moneybag x4 Goomba x6 The Goombas are attacked by a shadow creature, but they fend it off and chase it into the forest. They lose sight of it, but find a Warp Pipe leading into a bonus level. They collect the coins and then take the pipe back home. (You found a Bonus level building and 53 coins.) |
