Part Seven: Angry Birds: God Edition
We venture into Bedoe and find...a bunch of drunk birds! Good to know they are taking the threat of devils outside their gates so seriously.
I would say that this bird warrior is hurt because of a recent battle, but after running into the bar birds, I'm positive he's just nursing a hangover.
The more I look around Bedoe, the more I wonder how yet another civilization learned how to thrive. That should be instinct, guys! There's no book for humans that's titled "HOW TO WALK!"
Confirmed. The bird people of Bedoe have a long history of alcoholism.
Enough of this, let's just to talk to the king.
Hah, another amusing NPC guard! It's actually kind of clever that kneeling isn't in their kingdom's tradition since these dudes fly in place when idling (assuming they aren't drunk in bed).
Direct conformation that their God did indeed annihilate the devils in that mountain path that we fought on earlier.
The conversation moves to a Greater Devil that seems to be missing. The guards worry that they should do something about him, lest he has a second wind. But hey, not even the bad guys can find this mystery Greater Devil, so whatever!
Oh? Another seemingly important bird character!
Yes, this is the character I named Angry. Because he's a bird. I am sure this one is going to get me banned from here.
Angry reveals that he met up with the people of Granseal, so he already knows what Afrodo, Sephex, and the gang is up to. It's almost as if the writers didn't feel like having the same conversation again or something...
Ah, that great evil that was unsealed on Grans island indeed has a name...
They warn Afrodo that Volcanon is angry, but that the legendary bird and Sephex should go have a chat with the Big Bird, himself.
Nice shrine. Oh, and this music is playing. I like how it gets kind of creepy eventually that tells the player the world has a long history. It's also used as a battle map background music later: http://youtu.be/_nbl2K8kstU
Were the other birds pulling a prank on Afrodo? Volcanon seems pretty chill to me.
No, please, let's not ruin this.
Told you! Yeah, Volcanon is just....mildly irritated that a great evil was unleashed by Grans peo--wait a minute! Screw that, get that rat up here! Lenny's the one to blame! He's, like, the only rat person in the world! Can't you just forsake his race and call it even instead of lumping us ground walkers in one basket?
No! Giving him the sassy look is only going to anger Big Bird further!
Damn right, it was that rat bastard! Literally!
Yup. I knew he was going to lump anyone who moves on the ground in the same category. Enjoy the Occupy Bedoe movement, Volcanon! We are the 11%! Because...each number 1...uh...represents a leg and so the number...uh...11...represents people who walk and stuff.
Nailed it.
That's....not going to help, man.
Oh, hahahaha! Really? You've been "protecting" us while I've been manhandling the devils, demons, and various other enemies? So, basically, nothing has changed, huh?
Well, that actually might be a problem then. Crap, I already mocked him.
Hey, I know a human that you would love, jerk! The minister of Granseal basically had the same dismissive attitude when Astral was down and out! Also, NOW its just the human's fault?! We all know the rat guy did it!
I got the jewels. Fly me back to Grans island! We can take care of this in five minutes!
I don't need advice. Just give me a lift, man!
Oh, ho ho ho! We got a funny one, here!
You can see the jewels. You are aware of the jewels. You are aware that I have been fighting the bad guys. You want Zeon resealed. But your contribution is to guilt trip my race, even though no one from it caused this problem, and let very young warriors (on average) take on evil beings that come close to your power or greater?
"Prefect planning and management skills. God Of The Year!" 12/Bloody Nipples ~IGN
Same plan as always, got it.
His heart is fine. His ability to think rationally and strategically on the other hand? Uhhh....
And with that, Afrodo officially joins us. Now I can control him in battle. Finally, he won't steal kills from other members that I rather have gain experience! The jerk!
No, man. The shaking he caused while he was screaming at us was merely part of a pep talk. Don't pretend like you didn't hear all that! Angry is like the older sibling that knows you got yelled at by your parents, and plays dumb just so he can subtly rub it in your face!
If I don't do it, Volcanon is going to brood some more and blame more crap on humanity, so yeah, looks like I have to go take care of this!
Ugh, no! I can't stand that band!
Oh, Creed is the name of a former bad guy. Got it. We'll go seek him out!
We have to go downriver to meet up with this Creed fellow, so King Bedoe wants Angry to go tell the mayor of Polca to hook us up with a raft.
Alright, time to head back to Polca and--wait. Let's see what is over to the left...
Oh, a parent irresponsibly playing catch with her baby who is incapable of flight! I sure hope alcohol isn't involved!
WELP.
Sephex is there to break the fall! All is well and mother and baby return insdie. NOW let's head to Polca...
Not a few steps in town, there seems to be commotion nearby.
Ah, Angry is arguing with devils! Great comeback, by the way. I am sure they are scared.
The top and bottom devil quickly struck the other birds. Angry is guarded by plot armor.
Nah man, Angry don't roll like that.
Eh? They're after that injured boy that came down the mountain earlier...
The bearded man appears to help out!
Ah, so Oddler is the same of said boy.
Yup. I named him Beardo. Again, they all can't be winners!
Angry wants to join to! Sweet, two new party members before bat---
I guess it will have to wait till later. Battle begins!
Beardo has a great balance of attack and defense, but I love how he looks like a drunk dude when fighting.
As usual, the enemies posed no real problem. Better make sure Angry is alright.
I know he is supposed to make a bird sound, but imagining a dignified deep voice (I assume Angry sounds that way) literally saying "squawk" is cracking me up.
Angry is okay, and he honors his duty to procure a raft.
This would be Oddler. The damage to his eyes when he was found earlier did blind the poor kid.
The mayor assumed the devils won the battle and is scared out of his mind.
Come on, mayor. If the blind kid isn't freaking out, neither should you. Plus, the devils would have had your head on a pike by now!
Angry is angry. All the more reason to guilt the mayor into giving us a raft!
"Yes, sir! Preparing a raft angrily!"
We barley have taken a few steps when the mayor pesters us.
Angry, I know you are living up to your namesake, but stop being so dumb. Like, three waves of devils were here in less than 24 hours. They are after the blind kid, Oddler, for some reason. No matter what that reason is, it can't be good. Let's just take him with us.
Yep. He has purple hair. He qualifies as a dude who can hang with us RPG folk!
And he has amnesia? Bro, you're totally in! You definitely qualify as RPG folk!
Seriously, this better not be the band we're talking about.
And Angry officially joins us!
Down the river we go! Hey, let's see what's over here!
Ah. Well, battle time!
Angry is a decent fighter that has the advantage of having no range limit since he flies. He pales in comparison to Afrodo, though.
There was no way we were going to be the devil's dessert in the desert, so we easily won once again and head for this interesting location...
After being mistaken for a person called Petro, this dude wonders who we are.
The old man seems to think we are this Petro character, as well. Guess he stole some treasure from them or something.
We eventually get to talking with the old man. He claims he knows of a place that has a tunnel leading all the way back to Grans! Whoa! Maybe we can sneak back there and put this thing away early!
Apparently, this is the location! Does this place truly lead back to Grans? Well, stay tuned for the next part to find out, silly!
