Okay! Pherkad! THIS TIME we’re finishing it I’m sure.

Right, and I was going to look up how Pac-Man works... *opens GameFAQ* Apparently just moves to neighboring cards to eat them, so that’s easy enough to manage. Let’s grab it and get rid of that Chronic Fatigue then.

The front door of the mansion has very possessively labeled apples, and a familiar jerk blocking the way. Look, we’ve kicked his ass twice, jamais deux sans trois, sooooo?

(Mildly out of order, this is actually before Giacomo pipes up) This mansion is pretty and REALLY HUGE. Sagi disapproves of the obviously sound plan. Boooooo.

Even the Dark Service has had it with Giacomo’s nonsense.

Anyway, next is Cebalrai via Nunki Valley which means we’re going back to Diadem instead.

Geez the Pac-Man magnus works fast, Chronic Fatigue is all gone already. Excellent. Diadem plans: check on His Majesty, check on Nashira, possibly stagger-reload if there’s a branch again.

Nashira’s looking a lot better! No more Imperials, and crates full of fish for us to steal. It magically gets filleted when we pick it up, don’t ask. Also it’s from the water? Unlike the sea bream we see flying around in EW? I HAVE QUESTIONS

Otherwise it’s just some new dialog here and there - including some happiness about the impromptu remodeling - and Reblys being even more of a jerk, plus Gibari still being depressed. I do wish we saw him monologuing to a greythorne, but alas.

It’s been a while since we checked on Hassaleh! Not much has changed, there are a couple new bits of dialog.

Gena gets some new lines of no consequence that feel suspiciously like they could play out at any point, nothing really worth mentioning but it’s good flavor. Wacho ASKS A VERY GOOD QUESTION. I hope we get that answer eventually.

Back to Pherkad, we get interrupted on our way out. The forest’s full of bugs. Note the change in nametag. Now I’m suddenly wondering whether cardinal directions are useful / stable on floating islands. Do the continents rotate ever?

We get tasked with clearing the bugs off the path and given a special item: if that isn’t the next area’s minor puzzle mechanic right there.

And on this very important conversation, that’ll do it for today. Hopefully it’s less miserable than the Cloud Passage.

Also reminder that if you want to look at those silly mascots up close I made a thing https://www.meemai.rocks/Greythorne_Viewer/
