I believe you're forgetting to harvest bug corpses for delicious drugs.

Look at the rubble through the magnifying glass, maybe it does something? After that, exit the room and take stock of where else we can go.

+1 to both of these.

+1 to both of these.

You examine your newfound rubble using your newfound magnifying glass. Green text promptly appears on the lens.

"Resource already claimed. Opticfinder+ is designed to work with unclaimed or unharvested resources."



The cockroach remains dissolve into powder as you approach them. You produce some science lab equipment from your backpack and begin to collect it. You are able to fill two bags with black powder, and one bag with white. The mantis also dissolves, leaving only its eyes behind.

+1 Bag of Pure Roach Powder

Man, I'd feel real nervous carrying this stuff around school if it wasn't for that anti-perception magic.

You then backtrack through the saloon doors to the previous room. The corridor to your East that runs south seems to be the only path left unexplored at this time.

Let's go check out that corridor, then.

You head south in a single file line. Up ahead, you see that the cooridor you are following turns east. You reach the corner, and find a welcoming party of sorts waiting for you around it.





The dog-sized cockroaches in this room look different from the ones in the last batch you fought; Instead of fangs, they have almost comically large crushing mandibles. Two humanoid figures tower over the bugs. One appears to be either a human or a dweller; you can't tell for sure as he wears sunglasses to cover his eyes. The other is a terrifying winged amalgamation of decaying flesh and assorted giant insect parts; It wears a 'shirt' made up of a writhing swarm of flies. Each 'person' holds a lit pipe in their hand.

"Bruh. A new guy."

"Whaddup new guy? Welcome to the Cockroach Graveyard. What can we do ya for, my man?"

Ask about the roach-things with the overbite and explain we're looking for a guy called Chihuahua Joe.

I use Imgbb for my avatar.

Tried it.

Here is a screencap of what I did for my profile. I took the 's' out of 'http'. It lets me update the profile now, but the image isn't loading.

[ZBridges]

I tested it and it's working, as you can see.  Use this URL: http://i.ibb.co/17SQ1j3/Doggo.png

[Weirdsound]

Thanks. That worked.

[ZBridges]

Np.

Glad to see that you got the avatar figure out.

Hey. I'm looking for someone named Chihuahua Joe. Know where to find him? Also, what is with those cockroaches? I've never seen one with jaws like that.

"Ah... Shit bruh. You don't need Joe. My shit is just as good as his. Five Dubloons gets ya 8 trips TO DA MOOOOOON brother. That cheap bastard sells his stuff for a Dubloon a pop. Not worth your time, man."

"As for the bugs, man, my master, the great Dark Lord Hercules, sends them as guardians and raw materials for the sweet innocent non-affiliated dwellers like my boy here. Unless they go feral, they perfectly friendly, less we order them to attack. Just be careful if they don't have people around to control em."

Just then, Gray rounds the corner and locks eyes with the two locals like a deer in the headlights.

"Hey. Who ya talking to Rand... Oh. Fuck."

"Oh. You muthafuckers are with the Rasputin Society? KILL THEM!"

The strange undead mutant lets out a low whistle, and the Cockroaches rush foward fangs bared, catching the party off guard. Two snap at you, and two snap at Jameson.

Randy is hit once for 7 Damage
Jameson is hit twice for a total of 12 Damage

From top to bottom the roaches take 3, 0, 3, and 1 retaliation electric damage from Diode's shield!

You manage to block one with your shield, ironically protecting it from Diode's. The other attack finds your shin, and you discover that those mandibles hurt as much as it looks like they might. Both attacks hit Jameson.

The party has been caught in combat by surprise. Jameson and Diode have selected 'Defeat All Enemies' as their standing orders. Gray panics, and selects 'End Combat Quickly with the Most Powerful Available Spells' as their standing orders.

Well shit.

We can heal Jameson with Narrate Epic Deed but if he takes a similar shot next turn we'll be back down to no options. If he gets hit by more roaches or the two bystanders, he might drop before next round though.

Other option is to Animate Machete like usual and let it have at them. It's riskier but gives us more of a longterm plan than panic healing.
