"True. And I'll probably be able to get most of them on target, even!"

Permalink

"Indeed. You will need more sooner or later though. Let us plan ahead. Perhaps that Tingle character has some? You have that strange device, yes?"

Permalink

She roots around in her pockets a bit and pulls out the tuner.

Permalink

It has a bunch of mysterious looking buttons and a piece of black glass in the center.

Permalink

Anna presses a few buttons at random.

Permalink

The black glass lights up. 'Welcome to Tingle's Magical Remote Shop! What would you like to buy?'

It transpires that some of the buttons move this little marker up and down a list of things. 30 bombs: 80 rupees.

Permalink

Okay, she'll get some bombs. What else does he have for sale?

Permalink

A few instant services like: Tingle dropping a bomb very precisely without you needing to aim it. Magic that lets you walk on air (not falling even over wide gaps or holding heavy things) for ten seconds. Magic shield of same duration. 

Potions! Red for health, green for magic leaf power, blue for both. They're pretty expensive, bought from him.

Bait, arrows, bombs. Same deal.

Permalink

Pretty neat. She'll get some bait, she's running low. No arrows because she doesn't have a bow. That's probably it for now.

Permalink

If she does this too often she'll have to look for money more aggressively than just happening across it.

"Tingle is happy to have traded with you Miss Not-Fairy!"

The thing turns off.

Permalink

"I think we're ready to go then?"

Permalink

"Indeed. I've marked the first course for you. We could have saved time by visiting these places before getting the last pearls, but I thought it more prudent to secure them quickly."

Permalink

"Yeah. Otherwise the pirates might have taken the one."

Permalink

 

They sail off. Sunrise comes soon enough, and the storm goes away by the time they reach the first island.

It's a tiny, angular spar of rock with a slightly ugly-looking statue on it. She's supposed to put the correct pearl in its hands.

Permalink

Does she know which one or is this going to be a trial-and-error thing?

Permalink

Oh, right, Red Lions tells her which is which.

The statue shatters into a smaller, prettier statue and shoots out a beam of light toward the horizon.

That's the next island. Repeat twice. Except on the way to the last island they meet Cyclos again!

Permalink

Bombs, meet canon and then subsequently Cyclos's face.

Permalink

The wind is too strong for the bombs! They refuse to stay on course.

Luckily, Cyclos gets bored and leaves without flinging them somewhere far off this time.

Permalink

"That didn't really work out too well."

Permalink

"Perhaps... A weapon whose projectiles travel faster. Like a bow, or the pirates' catapult. Urk. I fear I need to rest for a minute."

Permalink

"Hopefully he doesn't come back before I can get one of those."

Permalink

"Well, let us sail on."

The other two gemstone islands are arrived at without incident, unless one counts skirmishes with squid-monsters incidents.

And then the three now-prettified statues join their beams of light and with a rumbling of the sea... A tall tower, almost as tall as Dragon Roost and visible even from this distance, arises to the north.

Permalink

"Wow."

That's impressive. Anna is impressed.

Permalink

"You're going to have to climb that. And it's filled with all sorts of tricks and puzzles. I don't even know much about them."

Permalink

"Guess it'll be an adventure, then."
