Turning towards Darius, Raynen spoke, "Thanks, whoever you are. Still, before you move on, would you mind helping me make this area a slightly safer place?"

Fire an arrow towards the Grungson thing while it's trapped.
"Frankly, I see no innocents in that fight. Let the murderers kill each other, I say.

"Anyway, I've stayed here too long as it is. As I said, I got a mission to complete, so if you ain't coming with me quit holding me up. If you are coming with me, you can use that spear that guy just dropped. That goes for you too, new guy," he says, looking at the newly-spawned Da Funk. "My only caveat is that you stick with me and don't try to use it to kill a person for your own gain; otherwise I will kill you myself."

Kordos offers his spear to anyone who will join his quest. If no one takes it, he'll pick it up and head off in a random direction toward a dungeon. If some does join him and take it, he'll head off in a random direction toward a dungeon.

"... What are you doing?! These guys have guns! Let me handle this."
Drawing up her literacy skills gained from reading hundreds of books, VG starts to travel down the perilous road of DIPLOMACY. Raising her voice so everyone can hear, she speaks as the Village Theme Song plays in the background.
"Fellows! Amigos! Drop thine weapons! United we shall stand, divided we shall fall! You see, as a kid I was told one thing. Never play with weapons! Not only can you hurt yourself, they would say, but you can hurt others too! Looking back, I realise that there's a hidden meaning to this phrase. For brandishing your weapons alone hurts all of us. We lose confidence, you lose an ally! This is how it has been from the start of time. Now lay them down and we will be able to forget this ever happened and actually move forward!"

((Just want to say, I put that garbled mess into Google translator. It decided the words were closest to Estonian in origin, and one of the only parts translated was:
"(not translated)...shed your...(not translated)," thought that was worth noting.))

leap and glide to  one of the ballistas. See if it looks like I can fire it at the bugman. If I can't, try to use the arrows as weapons on their own. If all else fails, hope his bugs BURN ON MY ARMOR and punch through his skull-chitin.

Haah, damnit... Recalibrating...

Wait for gun to recharge, in the mean time, protectively stand in front of Annie (without preventing her from attacking.) If attacked, switch to knife mode and retaliate as best as possible.

I... don't know if this will work, Annie... But it's best if we work together.

Well, it would have most likely done severe damage to Zardak by means of melting his face or other body parts off. The 'negative' part of the item is that it would eat through the glass and melt YOU if you didn't use it on the first turn.

Also, the stuff that Mr. Bugman said to Osborn can indeed be deciphered. Doing so (and possibly remembering an item from back when this was just a deathmatch) might surprise you a little.

I know what you did. You used multiple languages. Kaadems is Polish for Books. HOWEVER, none of the other words are Polish.

I am trying to decipher it now, and while I was thinking that it was multiple languages, I quickly ran into a problem: "aeui" not only is this a string of vowels, but is also untranslatable by any means I have found so far. He must therefore be using a cipher. I can only hope the intended final language is English, otherwise cracking it is practically impossible for me. Here is what I think:

Yui ora kuur su corr ik emkacsk vimae. I roqa cuka su srek vurrd kaadems o buud, bis I krorr crikr aeui vrara aeui ksomd ek aeui du mus dmaar bakura ka.

I must become a, because no other letter stands alone and no word ending in I would begin a sentence in this situation.

a must become e, because it is used as a vowel and at the ends of words, as well as doubled in certain words.

u must become o, because, other than e, o is the only letter that ever repeats itself.

e?oa still remains undecipherable, however, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING!!!

I've also looked at every bit of unintelligible garble, all the way down to Billy's book, which appeared for 1 turn, and even that didn't relate.

Wwolin, could you please give me more of a hint?

o?ea is still a stumper.

This RTD needs a TVtropes page. That way there can be a WMG page.

When I have TV Tropes editing time, it's spent on...another RtD. Someone else will need to make it.

Put it under the Video Games namespace.

It would be awesome if this had a tvtropes page... I'd get the feeling of "I'm playing an RTD that even has it's own tropes page!! Awesome!" lol. A bit stupid but that still be awesome.

That reminds me... is it even possible for Osborn to even control his own dragon anymore? And... as much as I would probably be the first on the receiving end so asking would be a bad idea but... what if Osborn says one of his spells with his book now being the head of a dragon?

I know what you did. You used multiple languages. Kaadems is Polish for Books. HOWEVER, none of the other words are Polish.

So I saw the word 'books' and thought that you had it. But nope, it's a sort of cipher, not a language mix.

Wwolin, could you please give me more of a hint?

It's indeed a cipher, made to make words into harsh-sounding words, which uses some diphthongs to trip you up. But I'll give you the first sentence as a hint, since it isn't related to the secret. Also, I realize that I actually left out a word in the first sentence. Only one letter, but still, I guess that's my obligatory typo for the turn.

Yui ora o kuur su corr ik emkacsk vimae.
You are a fool to call us insects puny.

And the 'aeui' in the second sentence? It's 'you'. The 'ae' counts as a single vowel, and stands in for a lowercase 'y'.

It would be awesome if this had a tvtropes page... I'd get the feeling of "I'm playing an RTD that even has it's own tropes page!! Awesome!" lol. A bit stupid but that still be awesome.

That reminds me... is it even possible for Osborn to even control his own dragon anymore? And... as much as I would probably be the first on the receiving end so asking would be a bad idea but... what if Osborn says one of his spells with his book now being the head of a dragon?

I might create a tropes page later tonight for this. As for control of the dragon, you'll just have to wait and see. And yes, the giant book does translate into giant spells. Of course, areas where you can read the book and not get hit by the stuff flying out of the book aren't very common.
