Locking eyes with this avatar of destruction you realize the only way you’re getting out of this alive is by fighting with everything you have. As you raise your Bustergun and the Hanmuru Doll charges at you from the other side of the room, your breath nearly catches in your throat as a wave of fear pulsates through your body.

>Critical Success!

Adrenaline spirals through your veins and your heart begins to hammer in your chest as the Hanmuru Doll charges at you, its long arms outstretched and its fat metal digits snapping together like the hands of a giant child trying to grab a bug off the floor. Despite your body and your foe doing everything possible to disorient you with fear you stay calm and keep focus, rolling suddenly to the side as the Hanmuru Doll’s hands smash down into the part of the floor you had been standing on moments before.

You need to decide a plan of action on how to combat this
Reaverbot. It’s large, fast, and strong enough to crush a man with relative ease if that corpse you found earlier was anything to indicate. However everything and everyone has weaknesses, and surely the Hanmuru Doll is no acceptation. This room is large and you have tons of room to run and maneuver. There are no obstacles of any kind in the room and it’s mostly empty save for the chest at the back of the room.

It’s not a lot to work with, but it’s better than a small walkway surrounded by water. You have your Bustergun and what you have in your bag to work with.

What is your course of action Bass?

HEY CROSSWIRE.

Flare to the face. Then try to climb on its back. Maybe use some rope to tie yourself to it.

Do we have a grappling hook? We could try that trick from the Empire Strikes Back where they tied the AT-AT walker's legs together.

Also, try to speak with it. At least yell something in the Old Tongue, maybe it'll confuse it.

>>29973859
I'm not sure tripping it up will work. It's got plenty of strength to break free from the rope. Also, even if it doesn't, it already walks with short shuffling steps, it won't see that much of a loss of mobility.

His legs are too fat for that and could break the rope.
>Also, try to speak with it. At least yell something in the Old Tongue, maybe it'll confuse
I doubt speaking to it will help.

>>29973397
Start circling around it and do probing shots to determine which part of its body is vulnerable

>>29973939
So, we need to blow its eye out or something?

>>29973981
Maybe, i was thinking of blinding it and making it charge towards the walls to stun it, and taking as many pot shots as possible.

>>29974003
That'd probably work.

I don't think it can swim either, so maybe we can lure it to fall into a nearby pool or something.

>>29973981
No, don't do that. Intact Hanmaru eyes are a Grade 1 national treasure! According to the curator of a dinky little museum on Kattleox island, who knows if she's right. Still, probably worth something.

>>29973702
>>29973781
(Right, I'll edit that in later)

>>29973610
>>29973635

You can't spy an obvious weaknesses from a glance, the Hanmuru looks incredibly solid even with all the moss growing over it and the discoloration of it's armor. There isn't any gaps or spaces in the armor, even near the joints.

Still, you could probably try grabbing and climbing onto it's back despite not really being much of a climber. You'd only have one arm to work with since the Bustergun takes up your right arm, but the Hanmuru Doll shouldn't be able to grab you if you position yourself carefully.

>>29973859
>>29973763
You could easily fire off a flare at it, but you don't know if it'll blind it or not. So far Reaverbots have been really odd in how well they can or cannot detect you. Tri-Anglers relied entirely on sight while Firushudot's seemed to sense your presence when you entered the room. For all you know the Hanmuru Doll could have other means of detecting you...

“Guys, I’m fighting a Hanmuru Doll!” You yell over the Walkie-Talkie as you yank out the flaregun from your bag, hastily loading a shell into it before firing it at Hanmuru as it charges again. The flare almost blinds you as it shoots from the gun and flies into the Hanmuru’s face, deflecting off and landing in a corner of the room, greatly improving the lighting of the room.

"A what?" Ira asks as the Hanmuru Doll continues it's charge unphased.

"Something REALLY bad!"

Stuffing the Flaregun into your jacket pocket you try to run around the Hanmuru Doll in the hopes the flare affected its vision…

The Hanmuru Doll lashes out at you with it's arms, clearly unaffected by the flare. However a few well timed ducks and a mad sprint allows you escape it's reach and get around to it's backside just as it halts it's charge.

Jumping up you grab onto a groove in the Reaverbot's armored back and hold on as best you can with your free arm, raising your Bustergun to fire on the Hanmuru Doll.

Raising your Bustergun upwards you fire a regular shot into the back of the Hanmuru Doll’s seemingly fixed head. You can feel the heat from the energy blast and here the audible crackling as it whacks into the back of the Reaverbot’s armored chassis. However you see the damage was menial and even at point blank your attack only left a faint mark in the armor.

Still, it left a mark and with enough repetition you should be able to break through. Before you can fire off another shot the Hanmuru Doll comes to realize where you are and begins to run around, flailing its arms and trying to claw you off its back. Thankfully even with its metal digits and long reach; it’s not able to reach you as its arms weren't designed to scratch its back.

The thrashing however is making holding on pretty difficult and with one hand it’s only a matter of time before you fall off. Still, you can get a couple shots in till then, what do you wish to do?

Charging up your Bustergun you fire empowered shots into the back of the Hanmuru Doll’s head, turning the barely noticeable mark you made with your first shot into a large, blackened, and visible dent. You’re only able to get several shots off before you lose your grip and fall off, but the progress you made is pretty significant.

The Hanmuru Doll continues thrashing around the room and by the time you get to your feet it realizes you’ve fallen off. Quickly orienting itself it rushes at you, its cycloptic eye glowing with rage as it shakes the entire room with a thunderous, titanic charge towards you. The already audible shuffling of its tiny legs turn into ear splitting smashing, it’s feet cracking the floor as it carries it’s body at ramming speeds, arms outreached and ready to grab and crush you.

Gritting your teeth you try and evade…

Leaping to the side the berserking Hanmuru Doll charges past you and collides with the nearby wall, barreling into it with the force of a train, cracking the wall and knocking itself backward several feet.

The Hanmuru Doll stands, it's body jerking and sputtering violently, arms flailing spastically as its mechanical insides seize and choke from the collision, leaving it struggling to move.

Eager to land more blows you rush over to the Hanmuru Doll and circle around it, leaping and grasping onto the groove in its back once again. Raising your Bustergun you charge and fire shots as fast as you can, pounding the same spot, over and over again in the hopes of breaking through. After several more shots and increasing the severity of the damaged spot, the Hanmuru Doll begins to move again, only this time
it’s heading backwards.

Its speed rapidly increases and soon it’s charging backwards at the other wall, with you in the perfect spot to get sandwiched and crushed between the two. If you don’t jump off now you could be in a lot of hurt, however armor at the back of the Hanmuru Doll’s head looks awful, one more shot could very well kill it!

You can’t do both and you don’t have a lot of time to decide.

Not being all that interested in knowing what it’s like to die, you throw yourself off the Hanmuru Doll moments before it collides into the back wall. You hit the ground hard, but go into a roll and manage to avoid breaking anything. Getting to your feet you turn and see the Hanmuru Doll ripping itself out of the wall, unphased by a collision that had previously stunned it.

Smoke now billows out of its grate like mouth like the hot, furious breath of a gladiator after a tremendous attack. Orienting itself to face you, it holds out its arms and points them at you, firing them off like massive hand tipped rockets!

You barely have time to hear the attack and desperately attempt to dodge it…

The monstrous, massive, avatar of destruction and death runs at you with the intent of staining the floor with your blood and claiming victory after a long and tumultuous battle. Its cycloptic red eye glows brighter than it had the entire battle, with smoke pouring out of its mouth like evil laughter given physical substance.

For a few moments even you thought it was all going to be over and that your adventure was going to end before it could really begin.
But then you rolled.

Putting all your strength and speed into it, you rolled like a small dog in a tumble dryer and spun right out of the Hanmuru Doll’s path, not giving it any room to change course or adjust its charge.

As soon as it had passed and before it could realize it’s horrible mistake, you stopped your roll, threw up your Bustergun and fired, sending a charge shot straight into the back of its heavily damaged head.

The armor gave way and the shot pierced the armor you had been blasting away at for what seemed like an eternity, destroying vital and important systems and murdered whatever intelligence and capacity for thought the Reaverbot possessed.

With its processing systems gone and it’s body now in flames, the braindead Hanmuru Doll continued its charge until it collided with the wall and exploded, throwing bits of wall, shrapnel, and refractor shards across the room.

As the smoke clears and you get to your feet, you see the charred lower half of the Hanmuru Doll lying in a pile of rubble next to a brand new hole in the wall leading out into the adjacent northern hallway.

Aren't EVERYONE cyborg in Legend ? You know, since everyone is a Carbon and everything.

We just took on single handedly reaver strong enough to kill groups of far more experienced diggers.

We ain't human.

>>29977035
Well, he did already have several years of experience as a Digger even before the first game.

>>29977024
>>29977031
Yes and no. They're all artificial life forms. But they clearly have organs and disease and other biological traits. Presumably the cybernetics are integrated at the cellular level. Some, however, go farther and get macro-scale cybernetic enhancements.

>>29976981
it would be cheaper to get a new one than to disinfect and repaint a diving suit that far gone.

>>29977080
Well, if anything, his forearms are completely artificial since he, y'know, swap them out for weapons when he goes on the field.

>>29977096
Oh, totally im just saying its possible
and theres always the chance there isnt any diving gear on the island
you never know

>>29977126
There clearly is diving gear available. Remember the crew of wreck divers we beat up? They have to get their equipment from somewhere.

>>29977126
can you please repeat what you just said again in your head and find out why that is plain silly, especially after meeting the douchbag.

>>29977148
Shit.I forgot
inb4 they own the diving gear shop and are total dicks

>>29977148
We could ask in that shop. We'll need to resupply sooner or later.

Don't forget that we didn't proper equipment or a boat, all we used was a car, and fucking rope.

>>29977223
No, we beat them up first. We didn't like Hunter's imprecations against Ira's honor. And Bass is a man of ACTION!, so he responded with punching.

>>29977275
Fuck, I hope we didn't attract any amphibious reaverbots with our little adventure here.

I'm hoping we have the biggest shit eating grin the whole time to.

I can see this being a often occurring theme, where every time he moves away and gets in danger its because of us.

>>29977484
nah, I think a mimic incident would be more than enough "justice" done to him. If we ever see him again, we should test him again to see if he's still an asshole before screwing with his life.

“Bass? BASS! Are you alright? What the hell happened! We heard something from all the way up here!”

“Oh it was nothing; I only killed a Reaverbot that’s known for wiping out entire towns and cities! WHO’S THE STRONGEST DIGGER? I. AM!” You throw your arms up and let out an ecstatic shout of victory, dancing a little jig over the smoking remains of the Hanmuru Doll before collecting the loot and the key, promising to tell Ira the story of your victory once you see what’s behind that locked door.

You manage to collect about 10,000 Zenny worth of refractor shards and you get the key out of the chest without any issues. There’s nothing salvageable from the Hanmuru Doll, so all that’s left to do is open that door and reap the reward of whatever is behind it!

What do you wish to do Bass?

>>29977584
Check out that little dark square in the lower part of the room
Might be a seekrit

>>29977584
Lets go check out whatever's behind that locked door.

>>29977584
Ask cruiser to come down real quick and see if there is anything salvageable, then kite the fucking turtles with charged shots aimed at their faces.

I feel as though we missed a couple of rooms.

Check that grey rectangle in the same room.

Check the room between the mimic room and the purifier room.

Go through the other door of the dead diver room(what's up with that corridor?). Basically, I don't remember entering that room there.

>>29977659
DOES NOT COUNT! NO ROLLS WERE ASKED FOR!

>>29977624
I think that's where the reaverbot crashed into the wall.

>>29977629
If we do get Cruiser down here, we better escort him.

>>29977646
Yeah, that sounds good. We have all the keys, but no need to get cocky. That's clearly a plot door. Drop off the loot before we finish the dungeon.

>>29977584

We are not properly equipped to deal with those turtles.

I think you accidentally showed us a secret room there Crosswire.

Just like the boss we fought, i think we can take them on if we kite them and shoot them in the face with charged shots..

That explains why I had the weird feeling that the map had more rooms than we entered.

>>29977624
(That's actually just me trying to fix the part of the map I accidentally erased)

>>29977712
(No, that's a room I kind originally erased because I didn't plan anything for it, but forgot to save the map when I did it. It's not there on the actual map.)

>>29977781
Too bad. I was hoping it was one of those bomb or drill walls and it would be something for us to get during the end of game grind. Darn.

Rolled 5

>>29977742
There is a world of difference here.

The turtles have insanely thick armor, are ungodly fast in melee and are in an area where these is little place to dodge.

They are not worth it, let's not get greedy.

>>29977781
but there's still the other door in the dead diver room, so it has to go SOMEWHERE.

also, room between mimic room and purifier, it's suspiiiiicioooooous.

>>29977781
So there isnt any secret rooms in this dungeon?
Might as well just open that door then

>>29977781
DON'T CARE! BASS LOVE SMASH!

>>29977807
This.

Get the key and go unlock the last door.

>>29977824
are you.....smash-blooded?

>>29977807
We don't have to clear them out yet.
Might as well get the to Cruiser before we run out of light.

I guess we could make something out of that air tank - maybe some weapon that could lift the turtles up in the air?
Or ask for explosives.

There are still 2 of those alligator reaverbots that ran away and are unaccounted for too.

>>29977968
im waiting for the encounter with those 2 and the two turtles in one room

>>29977968
They are bound to pop up, i'm still hoping we can lure the turtles away from their death hallway.(not now, but we are coming back for those turtles.)

>>29977988
As long as we have room and it isn't a death hall way, then its all good.

>>29978050
We could just tip them into the water from the side of them
pretty sure they would be fucked

>>29978072
thats the thing they have one major weakness, so if we can flip them then they are as good as dead.

>>29978119
to add on to this, did we ever try to shoot their limbs/face or lure them away from the hall way?

>>29978178
We were in a really bad position so we noped the fuck out

>>29978178
They got no limbs.

They a clam that is invincible except for the bottom which got a weak spot.

>>29978193
true, but i think if we try again more prepared they are fucked.

With loot in hand you make your way back towards the room with the 'vault'. You make sure to take the long away around that doesn't take you past the Kuruguru's and take a quick look around before you do.

After not finding anything out of place or of interest, you make your way into the vault room and approach the massive door. Plopping down your backpack you take out the keys and feed them into the three large holes in the door. Thankfully they’re all identical and apparently don’t have a specific order, as a door quickly sucks them up and begins to unlock itself moments after you put the large keys in their holes.

Bolts jut out, seals break, reinforcement bars and locks slide out of place, and finally the massive doors pull back into the walls revealing…a mostly empty room.

Your heart sinks as you shine your light into the very dusty room, not seeing a refractor, a chest, or even a Reaverbot! All you see in the rather small room is some kind of console of some kind. Walking up to it you see a small circular indentation in the console about the size and shape of your mother’s necklace.

Seeing some writing by it you can make out a little of what it says despite it not really being in the common language. You can only make out bits and pieces, and even then you aren’t sure you have it right…

“Release…Primary Gate. Authority…required. …three Sub-Locks…must…deactivated…Primary Gate Release.”

It appears to be a lock of some sort for a ‘Primary Gate’ whatever that is. There are three towers, maybe each ruin holds a lock for this ‘primary gate?

What do you wish to do Bass?

>>29978483
yeah, but nobody will know what we're doing until we actually start sticking the pendant in everywhere. The harder it is for pirates to just swoop in while we're busy, the better, and opening a subgate alone might also have an effect on the reaverbots.

>>29978504
What? No! Trebel is our last name!

We call it Gospel. Still, we should just put it in. It may also unlock some more loot for us or give us a plot dump. Besides, better to do it now then when we are fighting back pirates.

Taking off the pendant you slap it down into the slot. It locks into place the entire console lights up. You sit in silence for a few moments waiting for something to happen, but nothing does.

Taking the pendant out of the slot you put it back around your neck and begin to look around to see what it could have changed when the ground begins to shake.

"Bass! BASS! The Tower is starting to move! You need to get out of there! NOW!"

Eyes widening you sprint east as fast as you can, bursting into the room with the Kuruguru's and hoping over them before they can recognize you're even in the room.

Entering into the large open room you fought the Firushudot's in you see that it's FILLED with them now, dozens of Firushudot's popping out of the water and searching for someone, most likely you.

Getting into the last hall before the elevator you find Tri-Angler's swarming out of new openings in the walls, and only barely make it to the elevator before they start firing on you.

During the long elevator ride up the shaking only continues to increase and by the time you reach the exit you can barely keep yourself standing.

Sprinting out the door you rush to the car, looking back to see the Bronze tower sinking down into the ground.

"What did you do!?!" Cruiser shouts from the front seat as you throw yourself into the back.

"I'll explain later! Let's just get the hell out of here!" You shout and Cruiser puts the peddle to the meddle, driving the AE86 back into the water and making a bee line for the main island...

We can call him Rush. Or Haro.

>Not Gospel

Please anon. We arent megaman. Keep with the theme.

>>29978592
You make it to the main island and after a half-an-hour of panicked waiting you find…nothing happened. Riding back to the bronze tower you find it’s inaccessible, with the entrance far, far below ground and only the top of the high tower sticking out of the dirt.

Riding back to Tom and Tom’s junk shop, Cruiser pulls into the garage and you start going over your loot while he takes out the Firushudot corpse and plops it down onto a work bench. After going over what you got and explaining what the hell happened, the three of you sit down to some pizza from “Tofu, Pizza, and Stuff”.

“That was pretty stupid of you just to stick that pendant into the slot like that.” Cruiser states as you hungrily dig into a plate of cheese sticks.

“I’m sure Bass knew what he was doing Cruiser. I mean he wouldn’t risk the lives of everyone on the island over something stupid. You did say you could understand what was written on the panel, right?” Ira looks towards you questioningly and you nod your head.

“Yeah. I think each of those towers holds a console like that. There’s three locks in total, which opens up another ruin somewhere on this island…”

“Oh! I remember hearing about something similar to that being in Kattelox Island Ruins.” Ira exclaims.

“Alright, as long as you knew what was going to happen and you weren’t sticking that pendant into every hole you could find…”
Cruiser shrugs his shoulders and goes back to eating.

“Well I didn’t count on the Tower sinking into the ground like that. I guess I’ll be ready for the next time though….”

Let's see what we found.

[A] It's time to split the loot. After all, we need to make weapons, armor and upgrades. Still.. if the thing sinks down, that means the reaver bots can't leave. For that one island, that could very well be a good idea.

This. Nice ideas.

Also, soloing a hanmuru doll is some SERIOUS fucking rep earn right there.

>>29978854
Alright, we can rest for a while. Ira can fix our arm while we fill them in on what happened.

Then, lets divide the loot. We got some money, lets split it. We also found some items that could probably be used to modify or make new stuff, so Cruiser gets to check them out, as well as that reaverbot we salvaged. And get our equipment double-checked as well.

After that, lets prepare for the next dig. We need to check our supplies, see if someone's selling diving equipment and explosives we can use. Might as well see if we got mail, or if there's anything unusual going on.

We should also start our own digging journal where we'll describe our finds, the various reaverbots, and use that thing for future reference. Once we're famous and an established digger, we can sell copies of it for the future generations.

"So Bass, where did you get that pendant exactly?" Cruiser asks as the three of you eat.

"This? My Mom gave it to me before she..well disappeared." You let out a sigh, not wishing to talk about this after such a triumphant day.

"Disappeared?" Ira looks to you with a sad expression and you shake you head.

"I remember her leaving. So it's less that she disappeared and more like she never came back...but let's not talk about that right now! We have loot to split up!" You smile and think of all the Zenny you got in that ruin.

"Bass recovered 20500 Zenny in those ruins. We need at the very least 40,000 Zenny to finish basic repairs on that ship. I also need money for making armor and weapons, and there's also the subject of our shares." Crusier says, taking out a calculator.

"Since we're a team it's only fair we get a cut of the Zenny. Whatever doesn't go towards the ship or weapons, should be split equally amongst ourselves." Cruiser states.

What do you think of this Bass? How do you want to divide up the money and how much money do you want to put towards the Ship and Weapons/Armor?

>>29979229
70% goes automatically to the ship
we all get 10% each

Get either a buster part to punch through armor, or something explosive that can go underneath/above armor.

get real medical gear, pay for whatever Ira was making with that syringe.

3/4 of the rest goes to the ship, and what's left will be split between them.

>>29979300
Priority is the ship.

We need that shit mobile as soon as possible. In 2 or 3 more dig runs, we get enough zenny to fly it.

Then the world is ours to explore and dig

>>29979326
And Ira patches us up afterwards, while Cruiser makes the gear we need to go down there in the first place. They're just as important to this operation as we are.

"Well now that we have a budget worked out, I want to ask you what you want me to do with this Reaverbot corpse." Cruiser points to the Firushudot lying on a nearby work bench.

"I could make some regular armor out of it, but I think I could make a special diving armor with the stuff you brought back. There's also that old ass machinegun I might be able to do something with. What I work on is up to you, I could try making something totally different, but it'd be cheaper working with the stuff you brought back."

Diving armor please that allows us to use mega buster in water. Maybe turn the machine gun into sub-machine gun for dual wielding with armor-piercing rounds so we don't have to use Goring shot in case of emerg

Diving armor with a waterproof buster gun.
I guess that old machine gun was waterproof, considering how we found it near a diver.

"What could you do with the machinegun?" You ask.

"I don't think I'll be able to restore it, but if I had some more parts or some money to work with I might be able to use it to make a better weapon." Cruiser states.

"What about the Diving Armor? Do you think you could Waterproof my Bustergun?" You ask eagerly.

"If I made the Diving Armor and the Waterproofing parts for your Bustergun, I'll probably use up all the materials from that Reaverbot you brought me. Also, while I can make parts to make your Bustergun waterproof, I don't think I can modify it to work underwater, that's the issue with a lot of energy based weapons." Cruiser says as you bite into a slice of pizza.

So, do you want Cruiser to spend the Armor/Weapons Budget on Diving Armor and Waterpoofing parts for your Bustergun?
