Episode 26: Books Are Great

Pepper: Books are great!; This rare book contains the notes of a skilled adventurer and describes everything about this dungeon. This is pure gold!; For example: this evil eye on the front door shoots deadly fireballs to ward off unauthorized visitors.; But if you carefully approach it from the side, out of view...

Pepper: ...and then cover the eye with a hat...
Sound: Poof!
Pepper: ...the door should open by itself!; They even recommend leaving the hat in place to make an easier escape! Books are so great!
Writing: “Jump directly over the first balcony.”
Pepper: OK!
Writing: “You may notice a falling sensation. This is normal. This is a shortcut.”
Sound: BOING; BOING
Writing: “Enjoy the comfort of the illuminated web without any risk: these spiders are photosynthetic and feed off of the reflected light.”; “I recommend a quick nap to restore all your strength.”
Pepper: I so love books!

Pepper: Oh, Carrot; I know how much cats don't like to get wet.; Don't worry! Books are also good for that!; And in less than ten minutes from entering the dungeon, I'm sitting in the treasure room picking leaves off of the rare Water-Tree. Books are magical!

Writing: “Pick up a feather along the way.”
Pepper: There's no lack of feathers here!
Writing: “Because you took the shortcut you should now be entering the room of The Guardian.”
Pepper: Hmm... the big boss?!? But where?; AH HA... Found you!; tickle tickle; Pfff...! Too easy when you know the weak point!

Sound: Shkrrkrr!
Pepper: Aha! Here's the exit!
Sound: Wooop!
Pepper: ?!; Ewww... I'm sure there's something in here about a way to remove this “thing”...; Carrot... Can you read it? Mm... of course you can't... Meh...; I KNEW IT!!! It was too good to be true! Grrr!!!; Maybe books can't handle every situation after all...
Sound: Paf!
