PrinceWatercress plays Great Greed - Part 7 of 28


Who's ready to NOT go to jail?

First | Previous | Next | End

North of Herbal Village is the town of Tuna. When you enter the town for the first time, the women near the law making machine - yes, that's actually what it's called - tells you that you get to make the laws for today. You'll be taken to the law making machine, where you can change the three major laws for the day just by pressing the A button. The laws can keep you from exiting from certain directions, talking to the guards and entering certain buildings. Notice that you can't change the third law, which is "Talk To Guard." We're going to have to fix that. When you change the laws, a soldier hauls somebody off to jail, and you're forced to watch this every time you change the laws.

If you break a law, a guard runs up to you and demands a 200 gold fine. If you select yes, you'll play the fine; if you select no, then the guard threatens to take you to jail. If you select yes, you go to jail; if you select no, the guard leaves you alone. If you go to jail, you'll be let go when you press A on the cell bars, but you'll be booted out of town and your HP will be cut in half.

At the armory, buy the Scimitar. If you have the money, buy the Tin Helmet; otherwise, you'll have to wait until a little later to get a Tin Helmet for free.

In the house behind the magic shop, there will be a woman who wants to give something to her son in the jail, and notes that the law that keeps you from talking to the guard never change, and suspects that there may be a fault in the machinery. She will ask you to repair it. Say yes, and she will thank you before giving you 1500 gold.

In one of the other houses, the NPC's will tell you that the previous mayor has disappeared and that Sarg is now the town leader. 

The jail is in the northeast corner, but if you talk to the guard there, you'll get yelled at again, so don't. Instead, head back to the law making machine and talk to the girl blocking the door. For 500 gold, you can enter the building and fix the machine. Pay the 500 gold, then go in, walk up to the left switch and press A. You'll find out there is a lever. Raise it to fix everything. If you want, you can mess with the other levers so that you can keep laws that don't bother you alone. The center switch is for the second law, while the right switch is for the first. 

From there, you can change the laws by talking to the girl at the right side of the law making machine and paying 100 gold. This time, you'll be able to change the third law so talking to the guard does not get you in trouble. The guards outside don't tell you anything important, but the guards in the bigger house in the northwest corner will tell you that Sarg is out and that Sarg has set everything up the way that it is to keep peace in the town. A talk from the NPC's would clearly tell them they are not at peace.

Now that talking to the guards is no longer illegal, you can enter the jail in the northeast corner and talk to the guard to get access. Once you go down the stairs, you'll be able to talk to the woman from earlier, and her son will be able to tell you, should you face him and press A, that Dr. Bromide has been taken out of the town and to the Dragon Jail. Another person in another cell will tell you that those who have been taken to the Dragon Jail have ever returned, and yet another will tell you that the Dragon Jail is by the lake to the north, and that it is a scary place.

Fire Bug is weak against Freeze Magic and is strong against Fire Magic, and can cast Fire 1, which can do quite a bit of damage if it hits. It leaves 18 Experience and 66 Gold after defeat, and has a chance of dropping a Med 1-5 scroll.

Near the lake to the north is a boat house. The guy running the boat house tells you that there is a chance that you can get attacked by dragons and/or get lost if you get a boat. You'll also be told that without the Golden Pepper, the dragon will destroy you. If that is understood, then a boat is 500 gold. Do not get a boat yet; you will be wiped out if you do. If you select no, the guy at the counter will tell you that the Kim Chee tribe knows about the Golden Pepper. The Kim Chee tribe is to the west of the lake, but you won't be able to enter the village, as the guard will tell you that they only trust Dr. Bromide and his daughter before shoving you out. 

The Mel Mult is strong against Freeze magic and has a chance of running away. It has a chance of dropping a Med 2-5 scroll and gives 22 Experience and 68 Gold.

From here, you'll need to head back to Herbal Village and talk to Lolly Pop. When she finds out that her father as well as Spring Roll are both in Dragon Jail, she will join you. From here, you'll need to take her to the Kim Chee tribe. If you talk to her with the Party option in the status menu, she will tell you. On the way, Lolly Pop can randomly heal you during the battle, which is very nice.
