The shortest chapter yet!



These scenes are pretty one-note, aren't they?



Wait, you get HIRED for that?



Plus he's an eight foot tall sharkman! Damn!



Wine?



Meddling kids!



When it comes to disappearing things, putties have it down. Their shipwrighting still needs some work though.

Also, this scene looks very familiar, right down to the screen fading out to avoid random barrel violence.



Language barrier's still an issue.



Back to familiar territory for us!



Oh yeah, we unlocked another new class: Fenrirs. They've got great Attack and Speed stats but their proficiencies are balls.



Putty vanishes into the background.



Hey, it's Hogg. And he's a little sore about Marona's flimsy lie.



Maybe we should consider a career as ecoterrorists.



Cheesy moral dilemma ahoy.



"Everyone but you, that is! Enjoy the hospital!"



I really hope that wasn't meant as a pun.

Not much to say about these maps; we've seen them all before, but now they're littered with generic fighters. This particular field has a treasure beaming out Unarmed protection to everyone on the map, so you'll have to make do with whatever skills you have on your characters (but so will the enemies).

---



Even Ash realizes he's being way too cheesy.

---



This line sounds suspiciously like something out of Castle Shikigami.



We're awfully popular these days.



Alright, I can't help but chuckle at this.



Sudden burst of confidence!



Another familiar map with a lot of fighters. There's a circle of rocks transmitting Speed +50% to one another, though, so use those to your advantage.

---



More fighters, and a couple Putties in between them giving them Experience x2 Protections, so it's to your benefit to protect the Putties here.

He doesn't put nearly as much emphasis on the word as the text implies.



"Everyone else we've fought was hunan, he's literally a beast!"



2. (Chem.) A deep yellow powder; the oxide of some metal calcined to a red or deep yellow color; esp., the oxide of iron ({Crocus of Mars or colcothar) thus produced from salts of iron, and used as a polishing powder.
[1913 Webster]

Ah, still keeping with the color theme. Also, does that make him a Chroma Oxide?



Drab's at level 40 with a bunch of 35 minions, and his Mega Crocus can deal some serious damage; fortunately he can only use it twice before he runs out of MP.



There's also a couple Protective items to help you out. The former's pretty handy for offsetting Crocus damage.



Guess they didn't have time to draw a "face down" sprite for him, so he just turns into a Merchant for about half a second before his minions carry him off.



Hogg gives us a vague threat and then vanishes.



The ending's pretty lackluster too. But wait!



He's back.



It's hard to see clearly in the screenshot, but that's Sienna's rainbow bird/putty thing in the background.

Next: Chapter 12, where an annoying villain becomes an annoying anti-hero.
