Meanwhile, I'll start setting up shop. We'll need some place to sell our new merchandise, right?

Good luck, Dear! on Kiss! on

King: Hmmm... I heard there was someone new roaming around outside my castle...

Say, are you that fellow who's contemplating opening a new shop in u Village...?

You are...? Well, splendid, my dear chap! This will be quite convenient for my subjects!

Other than that... Are there any other reasons why you've journeyed so far from Endor to u Village?

What...!? You also hope to exploit the treasures in our Mysterious Dungeon!?

Hmmm... Well, it's true... There ARE many fabulous treasures to be found...

However... We don't call it the Mysterious Dungeon for nothing... Ho! Ho! Ho!

Problem is... nobody has brought any real booty out of there in quite a number of years!

So, aren't you just a little bit afraid to put your life on the line in our Mysterious Dungeon?

A wise decision... But you DO give up rather easily, I see! Ho! Ho! Ho!

What!? You really want to test your mettle?

Hmmmm... Just as I thought... You're NOT a man who gives up easily, are you!?

Alrighty then, let me explain how it all works...

Ahh... You don't give up so easily...

Our legends have predicted that a special adventurer might come forward someday...

The trick is to grab the treasures, then scurry back to the surface in one piece!

There are literally SWARMS of enemies lurking in there, so try to be sneaky or you'll be pulverized, for sure!

Furthermore, if the monsters beat you, they'll toss you out like a sack of grain. You'll end up looking like a total idiot!!

Ho!! Your treasures will be stripped, and you'll return to Level One!

On top of that, the dungeon will be altered drastically the next time you go down!

So, do you STILL wish to try your luck in our Mysterious Dungeon?

Ho! You remind me of the way I used to be when I was much younger!

Soooo, I guess I'll give you an opportunity...

In addition to the main caverns, we also have a much smaller Trial Dungeon.

Tell you what... If you pass the preliminary test, I'll let you explore the big dungeon.

Here's what I want you to do first...

A long time ago I lost my Jewel Chest on the the 10th floor of the small dungeon.

I was sipping wine and having a good ole time, when suddenly, I tripped over a sleeping Slime and dropped it!

First, check your pack, and take note of the three items I have donated to help you get started, Taloon...

Then, go down to the 10th floor and retrieve my lost Jewel Chest.

After you've returned to ground level, come to the castle immediately and bring me my Jewel Chest!

Once you find my chest, I'll let you have a go at the main dungeon, okay!?

I get it... You're the kind of guy who likes to jest, right!?

King: Are you ready to get started now, Taloon...?

King: Be sure to talk to all of these fine people in the room. I realize that you may have met them already...

Talk to them AGAIN... ...before you leave for the Mysterious Dungeon!

...

King: Oh, Taloon...! I see you were beaten! Let me give you a few good pieces of advice...

If you attack or take a step, the monsters will follow suit. In other words, whenever you act, so will the monsters!

So, try to stand still until you've worked out a better battle plan, okay?

If you take a little time to think, instead of just running off half-cocked, you'll stand a better chance of success!

King: Oh my, Taloon...! Beaten again...! Well, here are some more good tips...

You must explore the dungeon smartly and be prepared for anything!

If you are poisoned, look for an antidote! And always keep facing the monster you're attacking!

King: Ah, Taloon...! Beaten again, eh...? Well, consider this...

The monsters can both move and attack diagonally, very critical to remember!!

In some cases, you should retreat and counterattack diagonally, too.

In other words, you should use whatever moves are effective in positioning yourself best for battles!

King: Oh, Taloon... Do you still feel like you need assistance...?

Okay, fight the weakest foes first, and always conserve your healing herbs...

Try to rebuild your HP as much as possible by simply walking around.

Monsters can't recover HP through movement, so return to the fight after your HP has gone back up.

King: Still struggling...? Here's some more good advice that might help you out...

Monsters can re-generate in the dungeons, so move onward to the next level and try to keep your belly full!

Always avoid sleeping enemies whenever you're weak and hungry...

And definitely remember this... Increase your strength levels significantly before you try to take on those Magicians!

King: Do you know how to use your map...?

Before you enter a room, stop in the corridor and consider what your various battle options might be...

If after entering the room, you find yourself surrounded by monsters, the first thing you should do is stop walking!

Then, check your map to see exactly how many monsters are lurking in the room!

If there are more than two, retreat to the corridor, turn around, and fight them one at a time from the entrance.

King: Oh!? Again...? Are you using the items you find along the way?

For example, a "Return[Herb (icon)]" will warp you to a safer area... If you have one, use it when you're hopelessly surrounded!

A Confusion[Herb (icon)] may be thrown at enemies, too, to help you out of a jam...

You'll be safe until their effects wear off, but use them judiciously!

King: Keep trying your best, Taloon...! I'm always here, willing to help you out!

You must take advantage of the features found in magic staffs... For example...

The "Thunder[Staff (icon)]" will vanquish many enemies in one blow! The "Expel[Staff (icon)]" will banish an enemy...

The "Change[Staff (icon)]" will transform your adversary into a weaker monster... and...

The "Confuse[Staff (icon)]" emits a Chaos Spell. Use an "Identify[Scroll (icon)]" to discern the various Staff functions.

Finally, you may discharge a staff's energy from afar, but always make sure you're facing in the right direction!

King: Oh, Taloon...! I'm always here to advise you on the best dungeon fighting tactics!

Poisonous Toadstools can sap your strength until you're as weak as a baby Slug...!

And the damage you inflict on your enemies will decrease while you're poisoned...

So, use an Antidote Herb as quickly as possible!

Using a "Strength Seed" will raise your striking power by one point...

Raising your level will also strengthen your attack power in battles.

King: Wow, Taloon...! You are really struggling! I guess I should tell you about the "Medical[Herb (icon)]"...

The Elixir and Medical[Herb (icon)] can restore your HP, and even increase it, a little!

But it's best to save these restorative herbs for when your HP is dangerously low.

King: Would you like for me to repeat my tips?

King: Oh no, not again! Here's some more advice, Taloon...

King: Hey, Taloon... Listen carefully... This is my final advice...

To make it to the 10th floor, you may need... ...a Metal Babble[Sword (icon)]and... and ...a Metal Babble[Shield (icon)].

So, take these items...! They should help you beat our Trial Dungeon.

King: Be sure you put my sword and shield to good use... ... and good luck!

King: Taloon, I really admire your spunk! Be careful while exploring the Mysterious Dungeon!

Did you forget all about my Jewel Box...? Don't strain yourself, Taloon! Ho! Ho! Ho!

King: Well, Taloon... Don't forget your goal of becoming the world's top arms merchant!

Just keep trying! I'm sure you'll be able to pass my test, eventually!

King: Oh, my goodness...! This is most certainly my lost Jewel Chest!

Wow, Taloon...! You've finally passed my test!

Now, I grant you leave to search for treasure in the big dungeon, to your heart's content...

However...!

The "real" Mysterious Dungeon is truly foreboding!!

Therefore, I will give you a book of tips that contains the best advice for exploring...

This is my final present to you!

I suggest that you read this book at home, perhaps during the evenings while you're relaxing with Nene!

Also - before you go - be sure to speak to all of the members of my court once again.

Fare-thee-well, friend, Taloon!

King: Oh, Taloon...! Please report to me on your progress from time-to-time, okay!?

I'll certainly be looking forward to hearing some exciting tales about your exploits!

...

Minister: Mister Taloon...! You don't look like the sort of fellow who would back down from a challenge!

Minister: If you'll talk to the king again, I'm pretty sure he'll still allow you to go, Mister Taloon.

Yes! Ask the king again... I believe it's still possible!

Minister: Let me explain how the king's gifts can help you... I'll start with the "Medical[Herb (icon)]"...

This is a natural remedy for curing your wounds and restoring your HP.

Use it in battle, just before you are about to die.

Next is the "Big Bread"... Eat this whenever you become hungry.

Once you are starving, you'll lose a single HP with every step you take!

When you are near death... Eating Bread will stop you from losing any more HP!

Finally, the "Identify[Scroll (icon)]"... Use it to determine the magical properties of staffs made from materials like bamboo and iron.

This scroll will also reveal the magical characteristics of weapons and shields.

I surely hope this helps you! Be sure to speak to the Prince and our soldiers before you go, and heed their words!

...

Minister: Eventually, it'll disappear!

Minister: There are many fabulous treasures in the Mysterious Dungeon, but also many traps...

Swinging your sword into the "empty" air in front of you will force those traps to become visible!

Whenever you're low on HP, always be leery of traps!

...

Soldier: What!? The man who aspires to be the world's top trader gives up so easily!?

Soldier: Even while the king is agreeing it's NOT wise to go, I'm curious how he came to know so much about the dungeons...

Hmmm... if you keep talking to the king, I wonder... Might he change his mind?

Soldier: When you find a better weapon or shield in the dungeon, be sure to equip it immediately!

So... always be on the lookout for better equipment!

And... whether barehanded or armed, always face the enemy you're fighting!

And don't forget to turn around whenever you're attacked from the rear!

Arrows may be fired one of two different ways...

First, you may equip your arrows for firing ranged attacks...

Or you may simply fling them from your quiver!

I would suggest that you save your arrows for attacking powerful foes, like Magicians!

...

Soldier: Eventually, it will disappear.

Soldier: There's cursed equipment in the dungeon, too. Once you equip it, you'll be unable to remove it!

Your statistics may not be adversely affected, but you'll be unable to equip new weapons and shields.

There are also many types of rings, but if you put on a cursed ring, beware!!

If you become cursed by the equipment you find, try to locate an Uncurse Scroll, then use it!

Soldier: Oh, Mister Taloon, Sir... I'm really disappointed in you!

Soldier: Ah, Mister Taloon... I never figured you for a coward!

Guard: Let me explain how a Gold Sword +1 works...

Since a sword has a basic strength of 2, then a Gold Sword +1 will give you a total attack power of 3!

This formula applies to shields, too...!

If your base defense is 4, and you find a "Scale[Shield (icon)]+2", then your total defense becomes 6!

Staffs include weapons like the "Thunder[Staff (icon)] [6]". The value [6] indicates that it contains six total charges!

Weapons and Shields may be strengthened further by using the Upper and Bikill Scrolls! Neato, huh...!?

Soldier: Eventually, it will disappear!

Soldier: There are foes in the big dungeon who can corrode your shield! If this happens, its value will decrease...

Bronze[Shield (icon)]+1, Bronze[Shield (icon)]+0 Bronze[Shield (icon)]-1 Bronze[Shield (icon)]-2

And finally... Bronze[Shield (icon)]-3! This last one really sucks!!

A Bronze Shield may have an initial strength of +3, but after corroding, it will drop to a useless +0!

However, you may gild your shield by reading a Plating Scroll. This will make it corrosion proof!

Otherwise, you must replace a ruined shield.

Oh, by the way, some special shields are impervious to corrosion!

Guard: Seems like a lot of adventurers have been attracted to the Mysterious Dungeon!

So listen carefully to my instructions...

To move diagonally, hold down the R button, then use the D-pad.

To change your direction without moving, use the Y button and D-pad together.

These are awfully good procedures to remember...

Some adventurers even write them down, and convert key letters to Gravis colors!

Guard: I have some good words of advice for an adventurer heading into the dungeons...

Holding B and A buttons down at the same time will quicken HP recovery, but may also attract terrifying monsters!

There's also something called the "Miracle Keys Prophecy", but unfortunately I don't have any further details...

Elder: Ummm...

Elder: Mmmm...?

Elder: Yes! Congratulations! Since you're not a knight, or a professional fighter...

I think merchants should fight with their brains, and NOT just rely on brute strength... Don't you agree?

Well, there's a type of grass or herb called "Blaze[Herb (icon)]"!

If brute strength fails, face the monster hordes and swallow the Blaze[Herb (icon)]!

There's also an item called "Bang[Scroll (icon)]"!

When you're about to be overwhelmed by rampaging monsters in one room... READ THIS SCROLL!!

Pant! Pant! Pant...! Ah... having trouble... breathing... Too tense... I guess...

Got to... stop running... in circles... Anyhow... Don't forget... to use... your found items... wisely!

...

...

Elder: There are many useful items lying around loose in the Mysterious Dungeon, but be careful...!

Some can disorient you, like the "Confuse[Herb (icon)]"...

This herb will make you stagger around stupidly, like a drunken sailor!

But... BUT... now listen up! Throw it at a monster... and... it... becomes... DIZZY!!

Pant! Pant! Pant... Got it...? Use your items well, but use your head, too!

...

Prince: Ah, Mister Taloon...! I've heard about Nene...

She sounds like a fine wife, an asset that would make any man proud!

Ummm... I feel a little awkward saying this, but...

Since you've travelled all of this great distance, don't you think Nene will be a little bit disappointed?

I've heard that Nene is very anxious to open a new shop in the village.

Hmmm... Just curious... What do you suppose she'll use for merchandise!?

Prince: Let me tell you about some really useful items... ...such as herbs...

Many herbs have medicinal value.

Some herbs you eat... Others come in extracts that you can drink... Whatever, just wolf it down!!

Using these helpful herbs can affect your body in various ways, both good and bad...

But don't forget... Monsters can also swallow these special herbs!

Be sure to read your scrolls. If surrounded by enemies, certain scrolls may save you from impending doom!

Also, try to vanquish your enemies by using the powers contained in magic staffs.

Herbs and scrolls can be used only once, but a magic staff may be re-used several times.

Well, that's all I know... Wish you luck!

...

...

Prince: There are many more types of monsters and items in the Mysterious Dungeon, than in the Trial Dungeon.

You'll find various types of rings lying about, too...

When you put on a ring, its effect will continue until you remove it.

However, like staffs, you won't know which ring you have when you first pick it up...

Therefore, I think it would be wise not to wear any ring until you read an Identify Scroll and discern its effects.

Nene: Congratulations, my darling!

Popolo: Oh, Papa... I'm really proud of you!

Nene: Now, you can go treasure hunting to your heart's content, just like you've always dreamed!

Look, Dear...! This is our new store!

Popolo: YES, Papa...! We have a store! We have a store! We built it just for you!!

Nene: Just like Endor, I'll sell all the goods you bring back to our store!

It'll be a great success, you'll see!

And I'll also save up all the gold you bring back and use it to expand our business...

I can't wait to see how far we can go with this! The sky's the limit, right!?

Hey, you look tired... Come have yourself a nice, well-deserved rest, Darling!

Nene: Today will be your first day to explore the Mysterious Dungeon, right?

Before you go... If you want to speak to the customers, just face them across the counter, okay?

I'll bet the townspeople know quite a bit about the Mysterious Dungeon!

Also, if you want to see how much gold we have in the bank, I left our account book by the bed...

Darling... Aren't you itching to get started on your adventure? I'll bet you forgot something!

Nene: Tee-hee-hee... Just as I suspected... Chomping at the bit! Are you leaving right away?

Well, let me know when you're ready, and I'll pack you a sack lunch! Just like old times!!

Popolo: Papa, can you read tough books like this one? Wow...! You're so smart!

Popolo: Hurry back, Papa! I promise I'll be a good boy while you're gone!

Nice Old Man: Oh, Master... I hear you're heading off to the Mysterious Dungeon...

Yep, everybody knows the stories... They say there are some amazing treasures hidden in there...

However, they won't be easy to come by. You'll need to penetrate the most extreme depths to find 'em!

Old Woman: Everyone claims that cave is SO mysterious...

Well, I think you're even stranger than the dungeon, Mister, prowling around in a frightening place like that!

Anyway... I'll take an Antidote Herb...

Dealer from the Next Town: I heard that a new shop had been built here, so I came over here to check it out...

Haw...! You call this a store, all this cheap and shoddy construction...!?

Surely, you don't expect serious profits out of a slipshod operation such as this!

Hee-hee... I'll bet the next big gust of wind sends this whole contraption flying off, right over your ears!

Savvy Doctor: Grandma Maggy seems to know something about the treasures hidden in the Mysterious Dungeon!

You should ask her about them as soon as possible!

Straight-ahead Old Man: Boy, do I hate turning...!

In fact, I'm satisfied to just walk in a straight line until I run smack-dab into something!

Now, some folks may think it's a good idea to go diagonally occasionally, but I could just never get used to it...

Me? I'm just an old timer who knows only the straight path, and I'll keep going that way until I hit something!

Hmmm... I wonder if that's why I'm constantly hungry...!? I guess it uses up more of my energy and time!!

Gwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...!

Customer: Excuse me... I'll take one Medical Herb, please...

Customer: If you're defeated in the cave, half of your Gold will be stolen by those dirty, rotten Trick Bags!

Also, the pesky Demonites will relieve you of ALL your hard-earned items!

Well, I guess the Trick Bags are the kinder of the two... Like, they COULD rip off ALL your Gold!

Those Demonites are also called Baby Satans... I mean, they aren't frightening like Satan, just huge pains-in-the-butt!!

Nene: Oh look, Darling...! I've expanded our shop some! Now we can display our goods!

Popolo: And look at our living space, Papa... It's small, but cozy! Don't you think so, too, Papa!?

Nene: Popolo has been helping me a lot, Dear... He's been such a good boy!

Oh, Darling...! Today, I heard something interesting from one of our customers...

He said that if you find an "Outside" Scroll, you can use it to escape the dungeon safely!

That way, you can bring home all of the hard-earned items and gold you've collected!

It'll be your decision as to when to continue exploring and when to return home...

But if you want our store to grow quickly, find an Outside Scroll, then use it to come home safely.

Popolo: Yes, Papa...! Try not to get hurt! Come back and see us often!

Nene: This is our day off, Dear...! Let's all just relax a little bit today!


Nene: Ah, there's something I need to tell you... This is the money left over after we enlarged the store...

Use it for the good of all of us... and the store. Don't waste it!

Popolo: Oh, Papa...! A little while ago, when I was out playing...! This strange old man came by!

He said, "Hey, boy, do you know this? With a Torch Scroll, one can see all of the traps on a floor, as stories of a building!"

What does that mean, Papa? Do you understand?

Grandma Maggy: Hello, Taloon... I've got a hot tip for you... Literally!

Every night, my husband drinks these special herbal potions.

Last night, just as he was finishing a new one, suddenly he breathed fire from his mouth!

Do you believe what I'm telling you? It's true!!

I can hardly believe I'm a hundred-years-old! Ah, to be youthful again! Oho-ho-ho...

Ah yes, you wanted to talk about treasure... My husband told me... If I remember correctly...

An iron safe was once seen on the 10th floor....

Supposedly, if you have an iron safe in your possession when you're defeated, you won't lose half your gold!

I wonder if it's true...

Grandma Maggy: If I'm not mistaken, someone abandoned an iron safe on the 10th floor of the Mysterious Dungeon.

Supposedly, if the iron safe is in your possession at the time you're defeated by monsters...

You won't lose half your gold! I wonder if it's true...

Good Ole Boy: Hey, Guy...! I've been thinking... Could the treasure in the cave be super-delicious brandy?

You may be asking yourself where I would come up with such a notion... Gwa-ha-ha-ha...

Ooooh... Well... I guess it's because I love brandy! Gwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Customer: No, these shields are far too nice...! I want only corroded shields for my collection.

Are these the only kind of shields you sell here!? Huh...? What do I do...? I'm an antique dealer.

Creepy Kid: "Medicines" are my hobby, Man... Hee-hee... Every day I experiment with various herbs. Whee...!

The Elixir Herb is bitter, and the Eyedrop plant is spicy....

The Luck Seed... well, it's just... plain... ...heavenly...!! *Sigh...!*

Not to disrespect you or anything, Man... but you do look a little on the heavy side, don't you think?

Just eat or drink about twenty of these herbs or herbal potions, Man, and you'll be all healthy and happy!

What!? Am I worried about brain damage from excessive experimentation...? Well, Man...

Hey, it's my brain!! I mean, what do I need it for, anyway...?

Besides, life is certainly much easier this way... more fun, too... Hee-hee-hee...

Woman: I'm scared to death of monsters!

If I had to go into those awful dungeons, I wouldn't dream of going without a Re-charge Scroll.

Postman: I have absolutely no sense of direction... In a new place, I always end up going in circles!

Some people believe the dungeons are easier to negotiate if you follow a circular route...

Not too many warriors see the applicability, but I make my deliveries by following a similar circular route.

Am I making any sense here...? If not, go ahead and try it your way, then.

Dealer: I heard you expanded your shop a bit, so I came over here again to check it out...

Hah! All you did was extend the sides out! Don't make me laugh! Unbelievable!!

Knowledgeable Local: Some sleeping monsters wake up quickly, while others slumber for a long time.

A few of them will begin moving as soon as you exit the room...

Others will sleep until you strike them... But generally, they'll wake up whenever you brush by them!

Nene: Look, Dear...! Now we have a bedroom and a little privacy, hee-hee... Even a flower bed outside!

In the shop section, our customers may now browse freely through our goods...

Popolo: Yeah! All we need now is a roof!

Taloon: ...!!

Nene: ...!!

Nene: Ah, but Darling... About the Iron safe that Grandma Maggy mentioned...

You had such a safe once. If you can locate a new one, you can bring back all of your Gold...

And later on... Maybe you can even save valuable items like those critical Outside Scrolls!

Darling, since you're always pushing so hard, and winding up hurt, please make a special effort to locate it!

I haven't heard anything about the Outside Scrolls, but the Iron safe is said to be on the 10th floor...

Popolo: Oh look, Mama... There goes a flock of geese, flying south!

Nene: Really... That means that winter is right around the corner!

Look how the leaves are turning so many bright colors...

Let's take the rest of the afternoon off and listen to the forest sounds... We'll finish our work tomorrow!

Nene: Wow! You got it...! The Iron Safe! Keep on going, Darling... I'll take care of the store.

Popolo: Yo, Papa...! I was out playing, and that weird old guy came by again!

He said, "Hey, Boy, do you know this? The damage you do when you fire an arrow increases with your level!"

What does that mean...? Do you know, Papa?

Grandma Maggy: We saw you lug home an Iron Safe... I don't guess it's really what you'd consider a treasure.

Don't you agree...? I mean, have you tried to sell it...? And they offered very little...?

You see? I figure a treasure is something people will pay you good money for, but all that box is good for is storage!

Do you wish I'd just shut up? Sorry, but when a person grows older, she yaks constantly.

Grandpa Fawn: Oh... Hi, Taloon... The herbs I get here always come in handy.

Since I caught you, there's something I wanted to say... Ummm... well... let's see... What was it...?

....Ah, yes...! It's about hidden treasure! In my childhood it was called the Bo, bo, bosh-ob...

Eshcuse me...! Jusht let me fix my loose dentures... dokach...! Ah, yes, it was called...

Yes! I believe it was called the Box of Happiness! But nobody's ever seen it...

Just what you might call a local legend, I guess... I wish I could see it just once before I die!

Hmmm... Which floor is it on...? Don't rightly know... But my old pop might know!!

He's a bit hard of hearing, being 130-years-old, but I'll bring him along next time.

Grandpa Fawn: Do you want to hear my story again...? I'll be happy to go through all that again.

Grandpa Fawn: Ah, let me see... What did I come here to say...? Oh, yes! The herbs...!

The herbs and potions I buy here always come in handy. But it seems like there was something else, too...

If you do, just speak right up, okay?

Rival warrior: Taloon...!! How deep into the Mysterious Dungeon have you penetrated?

Hmm, floor number D? I've been all the way to floor D... Well... Best of luck to ya!

Sophia: Oh, Taloon... I've grown too fat and need to go on a diet!

Have you found any herbs or potions in the dungeons that might help me?

Ah, I see...! If you had any, you'd probably use them on yourself, right Taloon!

I guess I'll just have to start eating less... Hee-hee-hee...

Good Ole Boy: Hey-yo, Pal...!! I think I have the answer! Might the treasure be a bag with winning lottery numbers!?

Why do I think that...!? Well, I love to gamble! Gwa-ha-ha-ha...!

What!? You say it wouldn't be gambling any more...?

Clergyman: Ah...!! I've been discovered...!

Please don't tell anyone that I've been buying Uncurse Scrolls!

Customer: Is it just my imagination, or is some of the bread you sell here a little on the stale side?

Creepy Kid: Hee-hee-hee... I've been taking a few too many herbs lately...

Some have been making me more lightheaded than usual... Forgetful, too...!

What was I saying...? Oh, it's given me the munchies and made me gain weight!!

Well, Man, I've sworn off "medicines" and gotten into something new... staffs.

Like this Seal Staff I have here, Man...!! Hee-hee-hee...

You see, the monsters can do all kinds of bizarre stuff besides normal attacks!

Hey, Man, did you know the Seal Staff negates all of those special attacks?

It'll blow you away, Man! Those Drakees will weird you out when they start flying in straight lines!

Wizards will forget how to cast their aggravating sleep spells! Ha-ha-ha...!

Give it a shot, Man!! Ha-ha!

Dealer from Another Town: I heard you expanded your shop again, so I came to have a look....

Haw! This time, you just knocked out the front wall! Just stretched it out like a piece of chewing gum!

After all... Shoddy is as shoddy does!

Savvy Doctor: Occasionally, in the Mysterious Dungeon, a room jammed with monsters will appear!

In those "Monster Lairs", a lot of items may be found.

However, the lairs are full of hidden traps, so creep along carefully and swing your sword to reveal them!

Nene: Darling, you have worked really hard to bring in good merchandise and increase our customers...

Unfortunately, the store is too small to hold everything... So...

Okay, Darling, close your eyes! Take my hand...! Ready? Hold on tight! Don't peek!!

Nene: Okay, you may open your eyes now!

Popolo: Yeah, Papa...! Open them!!

Taloon: ...!?

Nene: Tee-hee-hee... Did I surprise you!? It's our new store!

Popolo: It's not done yet!

Nene: It should be finished in the spring. It'll just take a little more time... We'll do our best!

Popolo: I'll help too!

Nene: Darling, when the shop is finished, we'll have a little storage vault...

Let's save some of the weapons and armor you bring back, rather than selling them...

That way, you can take something with you each time you go adventuring. So, work hard, Darling!

Popolo: Yeah, Papa... Go for it!!

Nene: Brrrrr...! It's getting chilly out here! Let's go back to our room.

Nene: The carpenter is working on our new shop. You should go see it too.

Popolo: Oh, Papa...! When I was outside playing earlier, that strange old man dropped by again!

He said, "Boy, did you know a leather shield decreases your need for food by half? Tell your papa, Son!"

Do you know that old guy, Papa?

Grandma Maggy: I came here to work today...

It would be good for business if you offered the customers refreshments.

Hey, is this what they call a "part-time job"? Oho-ho-ho-ho-ho...

Grandpa Fawn: I brought my old pop today...

He may know which floor the Box of Happiness is on, but he's really hard of hearing.

Great-grandfather: Yes... What...?

Hee-hee... Yep, I'm happy... Even though I'm 130-years- old!

I'm fairly healthy, and my son and his wife are well, too... I'm a lucky man...! My grandkids are heroes...!

They've gone to kill a dragon!

My great-granddaughter, Lulu, is a real cutie-pie! Yep, I'm definitely happy!

What...? Which floor is it on...? Yes, yes... I know...

It's recorded in the castle archives.

Eh? You're asking if I'm sure...? I.... Uumm... Let's see... Hmmm...

Actually... your Popolo seems like a nice boy... ...a good companion for my great-granddaughter, Lulu...

Ed: Yikes! I'm freezing my royal nards off! Gawd, I hate winter, but I'll keep pluggin' away 'til spring!

Boss, you should take care, too, lest you catch yourself a death of cold!

Mondo: Greetings, Boss...! That guy over there's my good bud... But he's a total idiot!

Any second now, I'm waiting for him to fall into one of those deep holes we dug for the foundation footings.

I told him to go find a long stick to poke the grass before he walks ahead!

I'm just trying to look out for him, since he's my pal... But does he listen to me!?

If Ed falls down one of those holes and gets hurt, it'll be his own darn fault! I won't have any pity!

Rival warrior: Taloon...!! What floor of the Mysterious Dungeon have you reached?

Wow! Floor D already!? I've already been to Floor D, myself...

I still think my methods of exploration are a little more efficient than yours.

The Box of Happiness...? That sounds like something I may have stumbled onto once...

Sophia: You won't believe this! That warrior over there said, "Here's a gift for you!"

Know what he gave me... some moldy bread! I feel sicker than a dog!

Damn, may his bedroll be invaded by the maggots of a thousand Horks!!

He calls himself "Gozar", but I've nicknamed him "Bozo"! Crapola! I'm infected with "Creeping-Crud-a-la-Bozo"!

Savvy Doctor: There's a way to get the gold back that the Trick Bag has stolen!

After it robs you it will warp, but only to another place on the same floor. All you have to do is track it down!

Also, Demonites are usually holding some sort of item, so if you've got arrows... Let 'em have it!!

Good Ole Boy: Hey, Bud... I've been thinking....

Might the treasure of the cave be a huge cake with a luscious stripper inside?

Why do I believe that, you might ask...?

Well, it's because I love to watch beautiful dancing women shed their clothes!! Gwa-ha-ha-ha...!

Creepy Kid: Hee-hee-hee... Wanna know how to determine a staff's function without an Identify Scroll...?

Just wave it at a likely monster... If it damages the enemy, then it's a Thunder Staff.

If the monster freezes, it's a Sleep Staff. If the monster wobbles off, it's a Chaos Staff.

My favorite, the Seal Staff, will appear to have no effect at first glance... Hee-hee... That's what I like about it!

Now... Tonight, shall I fix me a Monster Toadstool that can't spit poison....?

Young Mother: When my child got lost in the woods, I was almost ready to give up hope.

That's when I thought about using the Eavesdrop Scroll that I bought here...

It was a great help, and really saved the day... Thanks for selling it to me!

Demonite: Ke-ke-ke...! No one notices that I've been transformed by the Change Staff!

Customer: Recently, a thief was caught using a Numb Scroll to paralyze his victims...!

Stupidly, he lit up the room with a Torch Scroll, and was promptly apprehended! What an idiot!!

Customer: I've met a lot of nice people who come here to shop, but occasionally, a real dirt-bag shows up, right?

Like that guy over there, a weapon dealer from the neighboring village...

He's very unpopular at home because he sells his goods at ridiculously high prices.

The only reason he's here is to fire cheap shots at you. He's just jealous, so don't pay him any mind, okay?

Stubborn Old Man: I'm a crotchety old goat! My lecture today is on basic fighting... "How to take the interval"!

How 'bout that!? The important element in the interval technique is to gauge the enemy's speed!

For example, Ghosts move at twice your speed!

In that case, don't think you're safe just because you've got one open space between yourself and him!

It can get still get in close to you and attack before you can act!

At that time, take a step backward instead...! Got it!?

Nene: Good, you're awake! Come quickly, Darling, our new store is finally finished! Everyone's waiting already!

Nene: Oh, Darling! Our new store is finished!

Even the king came to the celebration! I'm so happy... And it's all thanks to you!

Oh, Darling...! Please greet the king!

Nene: Please, Hon... Don't keep the king waiting!!!

Nene: Darling, everyone has gathered... Do you want to walk around and talk to all of our friends?

I love you, darling! on

This will give you a chance to relax for a while... We're so happy to have you home today!

Oh, have you finished visiting...? Good! There's something I wanted to tell you...!

We've built a storage vault, Darling...! You can now store up to ten items you've brought back...

Also, before you leave, you can take one item with you in addition to your Bread.

Well, have a nice rest, D a r l i n g. on

Popolo: Psst...! Papa...! That's the guy! That's the strange old man I was telling you about...!

But look... today he's wearing a crown and some really fine clothes! Why he looks just like a king!

King: Hey, Friend Taloon! You've built quite a splendid store here...! Congratulations! You did it!

By the way, we found an old book in the castle basement...

According to the book, the Box of Happiness is located on the 27th floor of the dungeon.

But that's not all...

There are some lyrics to a piece of music recorded in the book, as well...

I don't understand its significance... Perhaps you can make some sense of it...

"The mysterious narrow path Is both twisty and scary, But whilst you proceed, Returning's a bit more hairy!

You'll stare and try to see, Whilst minions abound, But you'll know for sure When that Box is found!

For happiness it sprinkles Like a fountain's flow, 'Though the going is hard And the returning is slow.

But even while you're harried, And weary to the bone, Let nothing deter you, Continue on, continue on!"

That's all of it, Taloon! Wow! That song gives me the willies! But... but... Has it helped you at all?

Minister: Umm... Yes... I knew it would be spacious! Of course... the king knew! It's just as he expected!

Castle Soldier: Well done! Now you're the king of your own castle, so to speak... Man, I'm jealous!

Castle soldier: Taloon! What an amazing achievement! You're going to put u Village on the map!

Elder: Uuumu! Mmmmm! Mmmmm! Mmmmmmu! Uuuuu...! Wellll doooooone!!!

Huff, huff, huff... You did it!

Prince: Nice to see you again, Taloon... What a great store! Nene is really amazing, huh!?

Grandma Maggy: I'm so glad I finally get to see the king before I die! Aaahhh.... I'm so nervous!

Grandpa Fawn: Don't be nervous, Maggy...! Look at me...! Solid as a rock!!

When you meet the king, just look him right in the eye! Stand up straight and tall! And...

And... I guess I'm a little nervous, too!!

Gon: Ah, Master...! This is my first day at work! My name is Gon...! Pleased to meet you!

Polly: Nice to meet you, Master. I'm Polly. I don't have much experience, but I'll do my best...

Thanks for the opportunity!

Creepy Kid: Hee-hee-hee... I suppose this IS an amazing structure! Right, Man? Fireproof, huh? Hee-hee...

No, no... Everyone says I'm a real oddball, but I'd never commit arson...! Hee-hee-hee...

Ed: So... What do you think, Boss...? Is it just what you've always wanted!?

Mondo: Yup, Boss... Just let us know if there's anything else you want built.

Good Ole Boy: Ya did it, Bud! So... your wife's in charge? How do I know? Well, I'm in the same boat! Gwa-ha-ha-ha!

Rival Warrior: Taloon...! This is something else, but the fat lady hasn't sung yet...!

There's still a lot of dungeon crawling to go!

Sophia: Wow, Taloon...! You must be really proud of yourself!

Rival Warrior: Oh, Taloon... How far into the Mysterious Dungeon have you penetrated?

Aah.... floor number D? I've been to floor D. If I can do it, Taloon, so can you...

...

Popolo: That strange old man was really the king!!

Wow! Every once in a while he comes around just to see how everyone is doing!

He said, "My incognito ramblings are a big secret! Just call me 'The Gad-about King'!"

What a cool guy, Papa!!

Grandma Maggy: Nene's got so many new customers now, she's struggling to prepare refreshments for them all!

So... I've started helping out full-time.

I'm really happy an old woman like I is still good for something... Ho-ho-ho...

Gon: Welcome...! Ah... Weellllcccooooomee...!!! Ah, Boss...! I've got news...! Big news!!

You can increase the number of Metal Babbles by using the Clone Staff!!

Then you can grab two Luck Seeds!!

It's very economical...! It's stupendous...! It's colossal...! Wooooooowwwwwww!!!

Customer: It's good to see a man enjoy his work, but that clerk talks so loudly... I've got a splitting headache!

Polly: Do you need a scroll...? We've also got rings and staffs...

Oh! It's Master Taloon...!! A warrior told me this...

He said that since monsters avoid the Repel Scroll even before you pick it up, you'll know what it is right off...

This way, you may use it one time on the floor you're on, then pick it up and use it again on the next floor.

Is this information of any value to you?

Customer: This... clerk...! Her speech is so refined that I can hardly understand her.

Rival Warrior: Say, Taloon, how deep into the Mysterious Dungeon have you reached?

Hmmmm! I, too...! Say, your skills have improved!

Sophia: That Gozar fellow dropped by again... He said. "Excuse me," and gave me this ring!

Perhaps I've misjudged him!

Ed: My buddy fell down because I was swinging this big stick!

Hah! He went down like a fifty-year-old boxer with a hangover! But he's not hurt... Gwa-ha-ha...!

Mondo: I told my friend to use a long stick to search for holes in the grass... But, that idiot...!!

He said, "I'll go get one...!" Off he went to the store.

When he returned, he started coming towards me, swinging the damned thing like a drunken duffer on the golf course!

Look at me now...!! I'll get even with him if it's the last thing I ever do!!

Drunkard: Hic...! What's going on here...! Isn't there any... Hic... ...alcohol in this store!?

Older Brother: We've been playing darts with silver arrows, but they keep flying right through our targets.

Younger Brother: That's not the half of it... Those silver arrows will also penetrate walls of buildings.

Creepy Kid: Hee-hee-hee... I've discovered a new staff secret...

Even if your staff charge is [0], you can still throw it!

Guess what...!? It has the same effect as waving it! This seems to apply to all staffs...

By the way, do you know how to determine the functions of all the staffs you find in the dungeons?

I know how... Hee-hee-hee... But I'm not going to tell you. Why? Because I'm a Creepy Kid!

I'll never, ever become some goody-two-shoes type of ass!!

Good Ole Boy: Hey, Bud... I'm betting the treasure is actually a magical lamp!

Why...? Because I want one so badly! Gwa-ha-ha-ha...!

Shifty Dude: A track meet is coming up next week... Using Strength Seeds may be prohibited, but... Hmmm...

With Strength Seeds, I'm a shoo-in to take the cup!!

Stylish Browser: There are many staffs from which to choose, all of which have really amazing properties...

But I always choose mine based on how fashionable it is. So, which one should I buy...?

Angry Customer: I want my money back...!! When I got home and read my Outside Scroll...

I ended up right in front of a cave!

Disguised King: Pssst... Hey, Taloon... How's the adventuring going?

Every once in a while I start thinking... What kind of box is this "Box of Happiness"?

To me, happiness means simply that everyone is living well and getting along with each other...

Sleepy Kid: Yaaawwwnnn... Aahh... Man... Everything's all hazy... lack of sleep, I guess... I've got insomnia!

Guess I'll try buying a Sleep Herb here... Maybe I'll slumber like a baby... Yaawn... hope it works...

Yaaaaawwn...

Angry Local: Damn...! I gathered all my gold and waved this staff at it...

All of my gold turned into lousy flowers! This isn't a Clone Staff, it's a Change Staff!

Dealer from out of Town: I heard you expanded your store, so I came over here to check it out...

So now you have two shabby houses instead of one, huh!? I heard the king came, too... Hah! Has he turned senile!?

Lost Girl: Waaah! Waaah...! My mommie's lost...! I want my mommie!!

Good Samaritan: I found this lost kid in the woods. We're still looking for her mother.

Stubborn Old Man: I'm always a stubborn old man...!

Today, I'm going to tell you about the relationship between speed and interval!

When you wave a Slow Staff, your enemy will become sluggish...

The monster will take only one step for your every two... Use that extra step to either retreat or attack!

But here's an even better strategy...! Retreat one step, then turn around and attack!

Repeat this and you can defeat the enemy without taking any damage! Understand...!?

Savvy Doctor: You may fire your arrows diagonally... To exploit this method to the utmost...

Position yourself in corners, turns of corridors, or one step behind room entrances!

Use whatever item you have at your disposal to freeze an enemy in the entrance of the monster lair!

Then you may use your arrows to attack diagonally, and avoid being injured! Use staffs in the same manner!

Nene: Ta-daaaaa...! Hi, Honey! You're just in time for the grand opening of Nene's Bar!

Our customers have been telling me for a long time that they want a place to relax, converse, and drink wine!

You should come in sometime for a drink, too...! Free of charge, of course!

Ah, yes... The Vault has been expanded a little too. It will now hold twenty items.

You may also take two items with you into the dungeon, instead of just one.

Ah, Darling... Why don't we have a little wine or something together tonight, just like we used to!! on

Nene: Giggle, giggle... That was SOOOO much fun last night, Darling!

We must have opened 10 bottles of wine. Don't you think we overdid the wine part a bit!?

Gon: Welcome...! Weeeeellllccccoooommme...!! This is the biggg dayyy!

The long-anticipated celebration of the grand opening of Nene's Baaaaaaarrr!!!!

Today only, you get unlimited free drinks if you buy a weapon...!!

Just don't brandish it in the bar... Okayyyyyy!?

Polly: Would you like a scroll...? We also have staffs and rings...

If you buy a complete set, including a scroll, ring, and staff, you can get unlimited free drinks!

Customer: I have an affinity for alcohol. Want to go partying with me later?

Shifty Dude: The track meet is set for tomorrow... But the officials are testing us for Strength Seeds!

Hmmmm... Wonder if I could cripple the opposition with a Slow Staff...

Problem is, how could I get away with swinging a wand during the races?

Girl with Unrequited Love: A Muddle Herb...? Hmmmm... I wonder... If I fed one of those to the boy I like...

Would it bewilder him and make him think I'm pretty?

Customer: Did you know that a fortified Copper Sword can achieve the same striking power as a Steel Axe?

Still, the name "Steel Axe" just sounds stronger... Dang, I can't decide which weapon I should buy...!

Customer: I like this heavy armor, but I live a long way from here and didn't bring enough gold to buy extra bread.

I'm worried that I might die along the way if I try to lug it all the way home.

Hmmm... Perhaps Leather Armor is the smartest buy...

Popolo: I want to try some wine too, Papa...! How about it...!? Can I, can I...!?

Nene: No, Dear, he's too young!!

Popolo: Oh, Pshaw...! Papa always sides with Mama...

Grandma Maggy: Shall we give in and let Popolo sample a bit of grape wine later? Ho-ho-ho-ho...

Rival warrior: Hi, Taloon... How far have you penetrated into the Mysterious Dungeon?

Aaaah.... Floor number D? Aaaah.... Aaaah....

Huh...? Me...? Well... I've... It's a big military secret!!!

Sophia: Gozar says he hasn't gotten past floor D. He doesn't look too well, either.

Anyway, I've been feeling really hungry lately... I wonder why...!?

Savvy Doctor: The elusive Outside Scrolls...! You'll definitely find them on the 20th floor!

Therefore, if you find some good weapons and armor, and perservere all the way to the 20th floor...

You'll be able to bring them back!

Creepy Kid: Ah, the lovely Seal Staff...! You mean everything to me!

I've used it on a Deranger...! I've used it on a Hork...! Next... At least for one time...!

I'll try it on a human subject!!

Dealer from Another Town: Everyone...! Listen, please...! In this bar, they mix Hork secretions in with the alcohol!!

Gucci: Welcome to the grand opening of Nene's Bar...! Just head down the stairs, then proceed straight ahead.

Bartender: Yo, Boss...! Does everything look good? How 'bout some bourbon...? Or perhaps a little scotch...?

Or I can just bring you some bottle!

Sharp Looking Guy: This bartender is a decent sort of chap, but may be a bit inexperienced... He thinks that "bottle" is just another brand of alcoholic beverage!!

Poetic Old Man: When you descended the steps, were you reminded of the stairs in the dungeon, just for a second?

I can't imagine walking down those steps and plunging into a maze full of vicious, hungry monsters...!!

Whoa...! I think I've had a bit too much to drink!!

Bar Maid: Tee-hee-hee... on I'm the drink-serving lady. How do you like my slinky dress? It's even got a cape...

But just because some people think my garb is sexy, don't get any funny ideas, Bub!!

Ed: Oh, Master Taloon...! Are you having a drink, too? Ah, feels great doesn't it!? Bottoms up...!!

Mondo: Welcome, Taloon...! We built this bar, as well! I've made a lot of new friends because of it... Haa, get it!?

Drunkard: Hic...! What is this...!? Isn't there any ... Hic...! ... Booze in this joint...!?

Good Ole Boy: Hi-ya, Pal...! Hey, I've got it...! Might the treasure be a set of assorted cologne...?

Why do I think that, you ask? Because I love cologne...! Gwa-ha-ha-ha...!

Disguised King: Psst... Taloon! How's the adventuring going? If I was a little younger, I'd love to go with you...

You might say I'm a little jealous!

Dufus Kid: Damn...! I accidentally read my Repel Scroll, and it was soooo expensive... Boo-hoo...!

Unlucky Customer: I want my money back...!!

When I read what I thought was an Outside Scroll, my hand was suddenly plated with gold!

Customer Who Craves Alcohol: Aaah...!!! Finally...!! I can drink, I can drink! I'm so happy!!!

I'd rather drink than anything else in the entire world!

Young Mother: When I was searching for my daughter who got lost in the woods...

I thought I had found her when I used my Eavesdrop Scroll... But it wasn't my daughter at all!

It was a Demonite that had been transformed by a Change Staff!

Luckily, my real daughter was returned to me by a kind man who found her by using a Clairvoyance Scroll!!

Lost girl: But we're good friends now...! Right, Missy...!?

She's just like having a little twin sister!

Demonite: Kee-kee...! I've always wanted a mommie! I'm so happy! Kee-kee-kee!

Stubborn Old Man: I'll always be a stubborn old man...! Now, I'll tell you about the fallibility of the human eye!

Okay, deep in the cave, there are monsters that are invisible to the human eye!

Suddenly, you'll be unable to continue down a corridor...!

Or else you'll start taking damage, even though you see no monsters around you!

When that happens, use an Eyedrop Herb! Monsters you couldn't see previously will suddenly loom around you!

But you may not see all of them! Understand...?

Darling, the second floor is finally finished!

How do you like our new room? Our new store has prospered while you were away...

And Nene's Bar is a huge success! I'm so happy that our loyal customers are pleased!!

Oh, Darling...! I'm just going to keep making this store bigger and better!

Let's continue to work hard, D a r l i n g ! ! on

Nene: Oh, Darling...! Listen to what everyone has to say...!

Nene: We've expanded the Vault again... Now you can store 40 items and take 3 with you!

Hope it helps...! Meanwhile, let's all sit down and enjoy a nice dinner together tonight!

Popolo: Yaaaayy! I have my own room! I have my own room! Super good deal...! Thanks, Papa!!

Lulu: Hi, I'm Lulu...! I'm the same age as Popolo! Nice to meet you Mister Taloon!

Grandma Maggy: Nene invited us to live here, so we've sort of adopted the three of you as honorary family members!

You have a new grandpa, great-grandpa, sister, and niece, Lulu...!

Is this okay...!? We're very grateful to Nene and you for taking us in...

We promise to work hard and help take care of the place!

Grandpa Fawn: Oh, Taloon... Thank you, thank you! We weren't sure what would become of us!

It's very hard to feel secure when you're old and poor... We're thankful to Nene and you!

Great-grandpa: Lulu's parents, my grandchildren, are heroes!!

They're on a journey to kill dragons, but my cute great- granddaughter remained here...

All-in-all, my family is healthy, and I'm quite content.

Huh...? Have I told you this before... ...or is this "deja vu" all over again!?

Popolo: Hey, Papa...! I want to go on an adventure. I want to explore underground, just like you, Papa!

I already told Mama! I'm going to dig a dungeon behind the stone store! Is that okay, Papa...?

Yay, I'll do it, then...! I love you, Papa!!!

Hey, I'm just following my dreams, too! I'll keep following my dreams no matter what!

Lulu: I'm going to sell the treasures that Popolo finds, then expand the store!

Grandma Maggy: I wonder if you could take a message to Great-grandfather for me...? He's really hard of hearing. Unless you speak in a loud voice, he can't hear you... Please tell him the bread's finished baking.

Great-grandpa: What...? You ate the underpants-panties...? Unbelievable! Do you eat underpanties...!?

If so, why in the hell are you telling ME this...!?

Grandpa Fawn: Oh, dear...! Great-grandfather is hard of hearing but his mouth seems to work just fine!

As for me, I can hear just fine... It's my teeth... I can't speak very clearly because I have no teeth!

On the whole, however, we're in pretty good shape for a 100- year-old and a 130-year-old! Ho-ho-ho...!!

Gon: Wellllcoommmme...!! Oh, Master! I talked to an experienced warrior today...!

When you're being pursued by strong monsters, run diagonally around sleeping monsters or monsters that can't move...

That way, you can replenish your HP while avoiding being hit!

Polly: We have scrolls for sale... Oh! Master... I have information, for when you're out of Identify Scrolls!

It's a technique to determine if you're carrying a Slow Staff, because after using, it'll seem to have no effect.

Take one step back, and if the monster moves more slowly... Ta-daaa...!!

How about that?

Humbled Customer: Hey, remember me? I'm the track runner who was looking for an advantage...

Well, I ran the mile event under my own steam and came in dead last... Nevertheless, I feel relieved!

Girl with Unrequited Love: I gave the boy I love the Muddle Herb, just like I said, and he got excited and ran away...

Wah! I loved him so much!

Magician: Ahh... ahh...! I've been discovered!

Please don't tell anyone that I use the Disarm Ring to accomplish my famous rope escape!

Disguised Prince: Taloon! Nice to see you again! It is I, the prince...

Please... Don't let on to my father, should you happen to see him...

But every now and then I like to slip out like this so I can relax and have a little fun!

By the way, have you noticed that young girl who's always shopping for herbs?

I think she's really cute... Sort of reminds me of your fine wife, Nene...

Maybe I should strike up a little conversation with her...

Customer: Leather Shield +4 has the same strength as a steel shield...

But "Steel Shield" just has a better ring to it, don't you think...?

I'm not sure which one I should buy...

Ed: Master Taloon...! You're probably thinking it's a little strange there are only two of us working today.

Well, we decided to work in shifts with our clones! The other Ed and Mondo are hanging out in the bar!

Disguised Minister: Sshhh...! It's I, the Minister...! Both the King and Prince have left the castle...

I meant to tell you before why the prince is particularly fond of Nene...

She reminds him of his mother, the queen, who died a few years ago...

The queen was a lot like your wife, Nene, full of energy, and very sweet and decent to one and all!

The prince has never gotten over the untimely loss of his beautiful mother...

But recently, he's been happier than I've ever seen him!

Mondo: Nene asked us to remodel this shop. Boss, your wife is such an amazing person!

She's planning to expand this shop even more! What a woman!!

Savvy Doctor: Ah, yes...! Let me warn you about the Bomb Crag...!

After you damage it a bit, it will turn hard and stop moving!

To defeat it, and avoid a lot of damage to yourself, retreat a few steps and fire arrows to make it explode!

Grab any nearby items you want, for they will be obliterated when the Bomb Crag explodes!

Rival warrior: Say, Taloon... How deep have you plunged into the Mysterious Dungeon?

Wow! You've already been to floor D...!? Whoa! Lately, I haven't been able to penetrate past floor D.

Sophia: That ring Gozar gave me turned out to be a Starve Ring! Look at me now!!

Thanks to that ring, I've become really slim! But Gozar's health has been really poor lately...

I'm a little worried about him...

Creepy Kid: Aah, yaaah...! I can't wait any longer...! I've got to try it one time!

I'm going to try using this Seal Staff on a human being! Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee...!!

Dealer from Another Town: Hey, Everybody...! Listen to me...!

These people are passing off gold-gilt shields as solid gold! The arms merchant in the next village is an honest man!

Let's all go buy our equipment in the neighboring town!

Gucci: This is Nene's Bar, a place for adults to socialize. Just go right down those stairs, then straight ahead...

Bartender: Hey, Boss... How's the place looking? Say, you don't happen to have a deck of cards, do you?

Sharp Looking Guy: Gwa-ha-ha... This bartender is saying "Slump", when he means to say "Trump"!

Gimme a break, will-ya...!?

Customer: I heard that some clown is going around waving a staff at random people... Isn't that a bit creepy!?

Bar Maid: Tee-hee... on I may be the bar lady, but I DO have other interests... Like my clay modeling hobby...

Right now I'm making a model of a grave. When I'm done, I'll have a whole miniature cemetery.

I hope you don't think I'm too awfully strange!

Ed: Master Taloon...! I'm... 'er... We're the ones who built your second floor!

Isn't it great living in the lap of luxury!? Ah... well...

I hope you don't mind if Mondo and I do a little drinking when we're off shift... ...Sure is relaxing...!!

Mondo: There's a strange dude meandering around spouting bad words about your store, Boss!

I'll bet this fool is jealous because his own store is a piece-of-crap!

If I ever get my hands on him, I'll teach him a lesson he'll never forget!!

Drunkard: ...Hic...! What the... heck...!? Isn't there any... hic...! ...alcohol in this joint...!?

Poetic Old Man: Whenever I'm coming back from your store, I think...

"All roads lead to the Mysterious Dungeon!" Whoa! Have I had a bit too much to drink...?

Good Ole Boy: Hi-de-ho, Bud! Yeah, this is what I heard... No baloney this time...!

That treasure is actually something enchanting called the Box of Happiness!!

Say... what!? You already knew that...!? Ga... ga-ha... Ga-ha-ha-ha...!

Disguised King: Oh, Taloon... How is your quest proceeding?

By the way, I've heard ugly rumors that a nasty man has been going around saying bad things about your store!

And that's not all... Some deranged citizen has been testing a magical staff on my hapless subjects!!

Monsters are bad enough, but when they show up on our doorsteps in the guise of neighbors...

Well... enough is enough!! Sometimes I wonder... Which is worse...?

The enemies in the dungeons, or those right here in our own backyards!?

Now that I think about it... Perhaps our fellow human beings are the scariest creatures of all!!!

Local Dufus: Damn, damn...!! I accidentally dropped a Repel Scroll on the ground!

It was very costly, too... Boo-hoo-hoo...!

Unlucky Customer: I'd like my money back, please...!

When I returned to my house and started to read my Outside Scroll, it turned out to be a Mimic!

Stubborn Old Man: I'll always be a stubborn old man! Today, I'm going to preach to you...!

Are you still waiting on Identify Scrolls to show up...!?

If you're a man, swing the staff and see what it does! If you're a man, wear that ring and see what happens!

If you keep your eyes open, you'll figure it out! If you adorn your body, you'll know, you'll know!

If you determine, "Ah, that's what it is!", go to your menu and give it a name!

That's how you can become an intrepid merchant! That's how you can become a sharp businessman!

Relying on Identify Scrolls is heresy! Did you hear me? I said heresy!! Understand!?

Customer Who Craves Alcohol: Ugh...! I drank too much last night! Now, I've got this humongous hangover!!

Dammit! That does it... I'll never touch another drop!!

Popolo: Hey, Papa... look...! I'm digging this hole so I can go on an adventure, too!

Lulu: Don't get distracted, Darling... Keep working!! We'll never get a store built if you dawdle!!

Nene: Tee-hee-hee... Popolo is definitely YOUR son, Dear... A chip off the block, as they say...

All he talks about is going on an adventure... He may find that Box of Happiness before you do!

Taloon: ...!?

Nene: Tee-hee... Just kidding... on

Oh, I have something very important to tell you... Why don't we go inside... Actually, to the bar....

Nene: Darling...! I have something important to talk to you about.

I have much to discuss that concerns our future plans, so will you listen carefully to what I have to say!?

Oh, please don't say that... What I have to say is very important. Will you please hear me out?

A short time ago, we had a simple shop made of wood... I had it replaced it with this huge, fancy store.

Thanks to your exploring, our store has grown steadily. We've found new friends, and this has made me very happy.

But when the next store is completed, maybe we ought to think twice before expanding it any further...

Instead of building a larger store, I... want you to keep following your dreams.

Why don't you find that Box of Happiness...!? Please... Darling, don't worry about the store...

Keep on adventuring...! Follow those dreams...!! Isn't this really what you would prefer to do?

What...!? Why in the world did we journey all the way to u Village...?

Does having this big store satisfy you now...!? Has your basic nature changed?

Somehow, I don't believe what you're saying. Have you thrown away the dreams that brought us here?

I don't believe you...!!!

We've been married a lot of years and you can't fool me one bit!

I think you're just worried that I'm working too hard, and you're concerned about my health...

I love you for that... But... It's really the other way around!

I'm worried that it is I who have been driving YOU too hard...

If I have, Please forgive me, but the store is big enough for now...

I want you to go back to doing what YOU want to do... Okay, Daring? on

I'm so relieved!! I knew you weren't the kind of person who would toss away his dreams!

Dear, I have an idea...! As soon as you find the Box of Happiness, we'll hold our grand opening!

That way, we can celebrate together, and also invite our loyal customers!

Gee, I hope this Box of Happiness makes everyone as happy as they're hoping it will!

I promise I'll always support you...! And... Speaking of happiness...

Darling, did you know you're really sexy with that gleam in your eyes just prior to another exploration!

You wouldn't want to delay going out again until in the morning... Would you, Darling...!?

I'll make it worth your while... Tonight!! on Kiss on

Nene: Oh, Darling... We've expanded the Vault again... Now, it can hold a total of 60 items!

You can take as many as four Vault items with you, too!

Do your best, Dear, and bring back the Box of Happiness!

You're so attractive when you're pursuing your dreams, Darling! on Kiss on

...

...

Grandma Maggy: Could you please ask Great-grandpa something for me, again?

Please ask him if he's had his bath yet?

Great-grandfather: Wha-!? You took a bath with a strange woman...!?

Young fellow, you don't deserve a fine wife like Nene...!! Imagine! At your age, too!

And why are you admitting this to ME!?

Grandpa Fawn: I often wonder how many days I have left...

It would really be special to see the legendary Box of Happiness before I die.

Savvy Doctor: Oh, Taloon...! I have some new information that was discovered in the ancient tome of the castle...!

If, on the 27th floor, you mistakenly go down, do not despair...!

It said that the Box of Happiness may be deeper yet!! Go for it, Taloon!

Gon: Ah, Master...! Finally, the big goal...! Your super huge store!! Construction has begun!

Now, all that's left is the Box of Happiness!! That's all! Fight for it, Boss...! Fiiiiiigghht!!

Customer: Ah, shaddup!!

Polly: Sir, your wife has really been worrying about you... Please don't give up!

Ed: Ah, Master...! It's pretty tough building such a large structure!

All that's left now is to find the Box of Happiness, right...? I know you can do it!

Mondo: We've never built anything this big, Boss, except the castle!

This is a once in a lifetime job for Ed and Mondo, the carpenters! We'll do our best!

Mondo: Boss, that trash- talking farthead from the neighboring village came around here again!

Ed: Oh, Master...! Do it for us...! Find the Box of Happiness!

Bar Maid: Tee-hee-hee... on Yep, I'm still the bar lady! Nope, I don't have anything deep on my mind...

Except the dungeon, maybe... That's a really "deep" subject, huh...?

All joking aside, I'm all in favor of you seeking the Box of Happiness, Taloon!!

Popolo: Hi, Papa...! I've got my hole started! I surely hope I'll find treasure here!

Lulu: Yesterday, I sold a pretty stone that Popolo found... I got 10 gold for it!

It was Auntie Nene who bought it, but... Hee-hee-hee... I know we'll find some real customers soon!

Rival Warrior: Taloon, how far into the Mysterious Dungeon have you gone now...?

...Never mind... I don't feel like asking you any more... I have no talent...

You can have the Box of Happiness... I give up... Taloon, I wish you success!

I know you would like to take a whole task force into the dungeon with you... But you can do this!!

Find that Box of Happiness for me, too!

Sophia: Gozar says he's returning to the countryside... What should I do...?

Creepy Kid: Hee-hee-hee... I finally did it, Taloon! I tested the Seal Staff on a human subject!

"Is it effective," you asked? Nope, it's worthless...! No real effect like it has with monsters.

I ditched my Seal Staff... Now, I'm interested in the Prevention Staff!

I'll never get tired of playing around with that one!

Dealer from the Next Town: Hey, Taloon...! I've been selling weapons in the neigboring village, but...

No, my business is fine! I've got specials on complete sets, and the good items are dirt cheap!

You might profit from my example! Tell you what...

Say, why don't you let me buy you a drink at the bar... I'll tell you more about it!

Customer Who Craves Alcohol: Aaaaah, it's sooo cold...!

Nothing to do but give in to my dark urges and grab a shot of "anti-freeze" on a miserable- assed day like this...!

Girl with Unrequited Love: The man I loved was a lot like this guy... but...

Pssst... This fellow keeps hinting that he might be the prince!

I don't appreciate being teased! Every schoolgirl knows that "Cinderella" is just a fairy tale...! Hmmmm...

Perhaps I should get some technical training, move to the big city, and become a career girl...

Prince: Honestly, I am very attracted to this girl... Not because she's like Nene, but for who she is!

But she just won't open up her heart, Taloon...! Please, you must find the Box of Happiness!

I have a feeling that if you do, the Box of Happiness might help our relationship grow into something special.

Disguised Minister: Shhh... It is I, the minister again! I've come in a different disguise this time...

Taloon, the king has become very interested in this Box of Happiness...

I beg you! Please try to find the Box of Happiness!

Gucci: This is Nene's Bar, a watering hole for adults... I'm looking forward to seeing the Box of Happiness, too.

Bartender: Yo, Boss...! How's the place looking?

You know, Boss, the stale ale tastes just fine to me, but for some odd reason the customers won't order it!

Sharp Looking Guy: Ho...! He probably means "pale ale", but as usual his fractured English has me in stitches!!

Poetic Old man: Hey, I've been working on an "Ode to Taloon" sonnet...

But since you explore caves, perhaps I should write an allegory... Wheeeee...!!

Then there's this unfinished ditty...

When your money goes clink, And you turn to drink, Then can't even buy http:

www.ctc-lennus.org a cigar, You must be in Nene's Bar!

No, no...! I'm not implying this place is expensive!

Customer: Seems that guy who wanted to experiment on a real person with a Seal Staff has actually gone and done it!

Apparently, his victim was that that fool weapon merchant from the neighboring town...

Hmmmm... Supposedly, that staff can rob a monster's special ability...

I wonder what it would do to a nasty curmudgeon like that trash-mouthed merchant from out of town...!?

Sassy Stranger: I see the girl who is usually here has skipped out today. Anyway...

Trust me when I tell you that Necrosaro is not lurking at the bottom of the dungeon!

You'll never see him, but I can assure you he's still a very important figure somewhere behind the scenes...!!

No, I have not seen, Nick, Robyn, Faraday, Taskforce, or Akujin...

...just this wild-eyed guy who said you should stop wandering aimlessly around town, and get your butt back to work!!

Do you know anyone who fits this description?

Drunkard: Hic...!

What..!? What-ya gotta do... Hic...! to get a lousy bill around here... Hic...!

New Customer: What's with this dive...!? Are ALL of the customers grizzled old men!?

"Odd" Waiter: Tee-hee...on Huh...!? You want me to cut WHAT out?

Good Ole Boy: Hey-ya, Bub...! Here's my latest brainchild...!

Might the Box of Happiness be full of Seeds of Happiness? Oh... You think that's too obvious...?

Hmmph...! Well then, "Mister Greenjeans"... suppose you tell ME what's in that lousy box!!

I guess you'll just have to bring back the Box of Happiness so we can settle this once and for all!!

Disguised King: Oh, Taloon... How is everything with you?

Say, your store is already huge! Don't you think you should concentrate on finding the Box of Happiness now?

Local Dufus: Dammit...! I was swinging my Thunder Staff when it slipped out of my hand and hit a tree!

It still had 9 charges too... Boo-hoo-hoo...!!

Unlucky Customer: Wah...! I want my money back...! I read my Outside Scroll as per instructions...

Suddenly my right hand became a right hand +1!

Stubborn Old Man: I'm a stubborn old man...! Today I'm going to reveal a bit of truth!

Happiness does not flow from some mysterious source...! It is something each individual must discover for himself!

The pleasures you fain would accept from hardship and toil... Those are the fountainheads of true happiness!! Understand...!?

Nene: Welcome back, Darling! I'm so happy you're safe!

So, which of the weapons and armor you've brought back shall we place in the Vault... Huh..!?

What is this beautiful box...? Could it be...!? Open it, Darling...! Open it!!

Nene: Wow, Darling...!! You finally did it...! You have brought back the Box of Happiness!

Double Wow... Simply amazing!! I can hardly believe it...! We must prepare for our grand opening right away!

Oh, Darling...! Go tell everyone what you've found, then come find me... ...at the store!

Grandma Maggy: Oohh.... It's really the Box of Happiness! Congratulations, Taloon...!

Savvy Doctor: So, the Box of Happiness was a music box...!? Wow! One more mystery solved!

Great-grandfather: Aaahh... It has a nice mellow sound... It seems to saturate my entire body, from my ears... to my...

Huh...? Wait a minute...!! I... I can hear...!? I CAN HEAR!!!

Grandma Maggy: Oh, Taloon!! Please run and tell my husband! We've got to rush off and help Nene... The grand opening!

Grandpa Fawn: Oh, Taloon...! I feel sort of strange...! My body seems lighter, and I feel so cheerful...

Like jumping up and down!

Polly: Aaaahh, Master...!

Disguised Minister: Oooh, Taloon...! What have you got there!?

Polly: Is THAT the Box of Happiness...!? Oh, how beautiful it sounds! What great timbre!!

Just listening makes me feel... Aaaahh... It's so splendid!

Disguised Minister: This is quite an accomplishment...!! The king will be extremely pleased...!

I can just see the happy look of amazement on his face now!

Wow!!

Disguised King: Oh! Tal...

Sophia: Taloon, you are simply incredible...!! Close your eyes for a few seconds...

on Kiss! on Tee-hee-hee...! Don't tell Nene!!

Sophia: Let's go, Gozar!! The store's about to open!

Rival Warrior: We'll go on ahead, Taloon... See you!!

Prince: Oh, Taloon...! You finally found the Box of Happiness...! Congratulations!

A little bit ago, I heard my father's voice around here somewhere...

He sounded very happy! That's the first time I've ever heard my father yelling so loudly!!

Girl with Unrequited Love: I think I understand now...

He's really been thinking about me... and he's really the prince, not that it matters...

The music coming from this box is so amazingly enchanting!

Happy Couple: Oh, Taloon...! Your new store is having its grand opening, right...?

We're going to go check it out! Thank you!!!

Gucci: Oh, Master...! There's a big uproar going on...

In the bar!!

Woman in the Bar: Ohhhh...! You really did it, Taloon! C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s!

Bartender: Hey, Boss...! Goo-goo! Goo-goo...!

Sharp Looking Guy: Wa-ha-ha! The barkeep means to say, "Good...!"

Instead, he sounds like a newborn baby slurping on a bottle...! Har-har-har...!

Bar Maid: Tee-hee... on You're amazing, Taloon...! So smart and brave! Yeah!!

Drunkard: ...Hic...! What the... Hee-hee... What!? This store... hic, hic... Wa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...!

Creepy Kid: Hee-hee-hee... This melody was playing earlier... Hee-hee-hee...

For some odd reason... Ahhhh... Well... It just makes me feel so lighthearted...

Better than experimenting with "medicines"... Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...!

Woman in the Bar: Once again, Taloon...

C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s!

Popolo: Aha-ha-ha, Papa! A little while ago, I suddenly heard freaky music!

And then.... Eee-yahhh...! Up came warm water, a-gushing right out of the ground! ...Aaaaaaaah...!

Lulu: Yeah, Uncle...! Heehee... I started laughing because it messed up Popolo's dumb treasure hunt!!

Isn't that hilarious...? ....Ha-ha-ha-ha...!!!

Popolo: Lulu's mean, Papa, but I'm not mad at her. I just wanted to have some fun like you, Papa!!

Lulu: Tee-hee-hee... Well, Uncle, do you want to go!? Aunt Nene will be coming to the new store soon...

Popolo: Yeah, Papa... Let's take off now and tell Mama all about the warm water!

Come on!!

Ed: Aha-ha-ha...! Taloon, Sir! You finally did it! Everyone's waiting!

Come on, please... Let's go!!

Mondo: Oh, Taloon... We built a really fine place this time! It's so ... amazing...

I just... get all choked up whenever I look at it! Sob...!!

Nene: Wait a moment, Darling... My... heart is so full...

What shall I do...!?

Taloon took Nene's hand and smiled... ononon

Nene: My darling... I'm fine now...! Let's go!!

Nene: Welcome back, Taloon! Finally, your dreams have been fulfilled!

But I know you'll be wanting to go back into the dungeon again right away! ...Tee-hee-hee...

It might be a very good idea if you talk to everyone before you go, especially the king!

Whenever you're ready to start your new adventure, just let me know... I'll make your sack lunch!

Grandma Maggy: What a surprise! Recently, my wrinkles have been fading away...

Somehow, it seems like I'm becoming younger! I wonder if it's because of the Box of Happiness!?

Great-grandfather: I can hear you! I... can... hear...!

...the chirping of the birds, whispering wind, children's laughter... ...a veritable flood of sound!

Granddpa Fawn: I can't believe it...! Teeth...!! It's a miracle! I am actually growing new teeth!

The Box of Happiness has brought me a miracle!

Popolo: Oh, Papa...! What should we do with all of this warm water spewing out of the ground?

Lulu: I'm worried... Because of this warm water spring, we can't expand our store like we planned!

Basha-basha!

Artsy-looking Twerp: Hee-hee... Hi there, Bud! Remember me...?

I used to be called a creepy kid, but I swore off medicine, got a haircut, and bought some mainstream clothing...

I've been writing a book about the exotic items and brilliant strategies of the Mysterious Dungeon...

In fact, I finished it already! You can find it on sale in our local book store. Oh yeah... its title...?

"Taloon's Great Adventure"! I guess I sort of "borrowed" your name! Hee-hee-hee...

Dealer from a Nearby Town: Hey, guess what...? I changed my name to Torneko!

Did you know that Torneko is a foreign derivitive of the name, "Taloon"?

You see, I've always wanted to be just like you, Taloon.

Ever since I changed my name to Torneko, I've been making money hand-over-fist...! Thank you, Friend Taloon!!

In gratitude, Taloon, I'll allow you to use the name "Torneko" in one of your future great adventures!

Wife of the Dealer: Hi, Taloon... nice to meet you! I'm Torneko's wife. I've changed my name, too...

Now, it's Nunu! Tee-hee-hee... on

Rival Adventurer: Hi, Taloon! Since you beat me to the Box of Happiness, I decided to marry my sweetheart.

You know? I may have stumbled onto an even greater happiness!

Adventurer's Bride: I used to think he was a big bozo, but for some odd reason I've always been drawn to him!

Hee-hee... Look at us now...! Here we are... together... forever... for better or worse... 'til... *Sigh...!*

Stubborn Old Man: Hey, I'm just a stubborn old cuss! Today, I'll tell you all about happiness, okay?

Well, if you insist... You see, there are as many kinds of happiness as there are types of people...

Grandpa's teeth may be growing back... Grandma may be getting younger by the minute...

But my version of happiness is different from theirs! Yep, that's for sure! Much different! As an old man, I can teach and educate the youngsters! Just line'em up and bring 'em on! That's my happiness!

Therefore, I don't want to grow younger! I yam who I yam, and that's all that I yam!! Got it!?

Lulu's Father: It's been a long time since I was home last. It used to be so peaceful here.

Now look at things... So dang crowded!

And these strange people here! They're using Western terminology now... What's a "Babble", anyway?

Lulu's Mother: Well, we finally killed the dragon in the western world, and came back home... What an odd place, the West!

Those Westerners call us Dragon "Warriors"! How silly! Everyone knows we're really Dragon "Questers"!!

Taloon: You say "to-may-to", I say "to-mah-to", hee-hee...

Lulu: Ah, well... whatever... Anyway, I wonder where Lulu could be... Is she well...?

I want to see her right away!

Generous Clerk: Take it! Take it...! It's all free! First come, first serve! Gwa-ha-ha...!

Exuberant Clerk: Everything is free during the celebration! I mean, everything in here is absolutely free!

No cash... just carry!

Customer: Wow, this simply blows me away! I've never seen a store this large in my entire life!

Isn't this a super market!? Hey, that gives me a grand idea!

Spoiled Brat: Yo, Dad...! Hurry up, before all the good stuff is gone!

Old woman: Ah... I was soooo shocked! I asked myself, "Is this really a castle!?"

Perhaps I should give a little thanks... Like... thank You, Lord!

Gon: Ah... Welcome...! Welllllllcommmmmme...!!! Ah, Master...! I've been hired...!

In the weapons department! I'm the chief!! And I proposed...! To Polly! She said she'd accept if only I'd calm down!! Aaah...! I'm so HAAAAPPPYYY!!!

Polly: Would you care to buy a scroll...? We also have staffs and rings.

Ah, Master. I've just been hired to manage the Items Department.

Also... Tee-hee...! Please, ask Gon about it. Oh, I'm so happy! Wheeeeee!

King: Your store has become quite magnificent, Taloon. Furthermore, everyone seems quite happy.

Thank you, Taloon!! By the way... there's something I'd like to ask you...

Are you happy, too...?

I see! Of course...! What a silly question! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Hmmm.. I see... You're the type of guy who must always chase his dreams!

The instant you found the Box of Happiness was probably exciting and made you happy, but...

Now that the moment is over, I think perhaps you've become a bit dejected.

When you were out chasing your dreams, were you not at your happiest point? Huh, Taloon...!?

Well, in that case, you should find yourself a new dream! But I have no idea what it might be...

Why don't you ask the Box of Happiness? Ho! Ho! Ho!

Minister: Seeing everyone so cheerful makes the king happy.

And seeing the king happy makes me happy!

Taloon, I would also like to thank you... Very much, indeed!!

Castle Soldier: Oh, Taloon! You've made everyone in town so happy!

I don't think too many people could have accomplished what you've done! Fine job!

Castle Soldier: Greetings, Taloon...! It's simply amazing how happy everyone in this village is!

Elder: Whenever I exert myself... like this... Uuumm! Mmmmm! Mmmm! Uuuuu! UUuuuummmm...!

I don't even have to stop to catch my breath any more! It must be due to the Box of Happiness!

Prince: My dear, Taloon... The entire kingdom is happy.

I think it's because you brought us the Box of Happiness. Thank you very much, Taloon!

Future Queen: Yes, Taloon... Thank you very much!!

Just gazing upon it makes me feel soooo happy, hee-hee...!

Old woman: Of course... Doesn't one have to open the lid for it to be of use?

Happy customer: I finally saw it! I made it through the line. Aaah, I'm happy! I'm so happy!!

Customer: Whoa! This bread is really quite tasty!

Customer: I going to buy one of those world-famous Medical Herbs.

Customer: Hmmm... I wonder... Are any of these staffs effective against the frozen Stone Monsters?

Customer: I'd like a Gold Ring, aaand a Starve Ring, aaaand... umm... umm... I don't know...!!

Customer: Is there a ring here that I can buy with three months wages? Eeh!? There isn't?

Damn! Why in the hell did my crummy boss tell me there was!?

Customer: Eh? Food Scrolls produce just plain ole Bread, not sushi!? Keep your old scroll, then!!

Gucci: Oh, Master, everyone has been so excited lately! Once again, I'd like to offer my congratulations!

Bartender: Hiya, Boss! Are things lookin' good, or is it all just a dream?

Sharp Looking Guy: I'm tellin' ya... This bartender..!! He's so excited...

He says "cheer" every time he means to say "beer"! But it makes no difference, I guess...

Everyone is all keyed up over the Box of Happiness... ...all except the people who were happy to begin with.

They don't seem any different, do they? Anyway, I guess I'm babbling now... So, let's talk about drinking!

Don't you think this guy makes the best cocktails in the world!?

As for happiness... the fact that I can stand here and drink them makes me the happiest man in the world!

Poetic Old Man: Undefeated by the Giant, victorious over the Lethal Armor, avoiding the Giant Eyeball's glare...

Even dodging the Dragon's flames...! Being relieved at finding the Belly Ring...

...then becoming heartbroken upon realizing it was really a Starve Ring...

Forging toward the Outside Scrolls upon hearing they were on the 20th floor...

...then bringing back the Box of Happiness!

There can be only one man I'm describing here... Taloon!!!

Bar Maid: Tee-hee... on Did you know that I'm really the mistress of this fine establishment?

Guess what...!? I had a baby!! Yeah, a baby!

I've kept it a secret 'til now, but the truth is, the bartender and I are married!

Yes, the happiest moments in my life are when I'm caring for my precious baby!

The baby and my husband...! We are all so happy together!!

Ed: Oh, Master Taloon...! It's just the two of us again!

By the way, take a look...! The king gave me this huge medal!

I can hardly believe we built that amazing store... I have to watch myself closely, lest I start bragging!

Mondo: I.. I... got this big... huge... medal... from the king...!

Oh, Taloon... I'm so... so... happy... happy!!

Drunkard: Hic...! What...!? Doesn't anyone ever, hic... complain in this bar...!?

Nene: Welcome home, Dear! Huh...? Oh, Darling, you smell like cologne... Tee-hee-hee... It suits you!

Anyway... we've constructed a huge bath directly above the hot spring that Popolo discovered...

It's big enough for everyone!

Tonight, why don't you relax and enjoy a hot bath! Okay, Darling!! on

Nene: Darling, I love you!! Tee-hee... I just had to say so!

Grandma Maggy: Wow, I'm down to about 50-years-of- age!

I seem to have bottomed out at 50 years. It appears I won't grow any younger... That's fine with me!

Great-grandfather: My eyes, ears, and teeth are all in perfect condition!

My age has dropped from 130-years-old to about 60...

How shall I use this second life? Just thinking about it makes me so excited I can't sleep at night!

Grandpa Fawn: Why did my wife stop growing younger when she reached the age of 50?

I've been staying up nights trying to figure that out!

Could it be because our happiest years have been since the age of 50?

Lulu's Father: I go off on a quest, and when I get back there's a hot spring in the backyard...!

Mom and dad are younger! What on earth is going on around here!?

Lulu's Mother: Regardless of these strange events, you've been a great help to Lulu and our parents...

Thank you so very much, Taloon!!

Popolo: Hey, Sally...! This settlement is called u Village!

Lulu: You're finally here! Our new lives can begin here in this village! Oh! Have you already told Sally?

Hey, Darling...! Why don't you tell Sally the name of the village?

Sally: Hey, Papa...! What is this place...? Where are we...? Baa-baa...!

Blondell: What's that smell? Taloon, what in the world is that box you're carrying?

Oh, did you find that in the Mysterious Dungeon too? Let me see it!!

Blondell: Ah, of course...! This is the Strange Box that I've been seeking for so many years!!!

I've been searching hundreds of villages in dozens of countries for nigh on 30 years!

To think, it would finally turn up in u Village! Taloon, if anybody could find it, you're the man!

Do you have any idea of the significance of your discovery...?

Inside is the essence of a very special flower! It's called the Hot Springs Flower! It can cure any disease!

I know, because I've been researching this phantom flower for 30 years!

Please, Taloon, you must plant the bulbs in the hot spring you discovered behind your shop, and allow everyone to bathe!!

Blondell: Come one, come all! The latest miracle from the Mysterious Dungeon...! From the 30th floor!!

Taloon has risked his life to bring out this "Mystery Box"! What could be inside!?

Oh... my...! It's the Hot Springs Flower! It can cure any illness!

For just 3 gold, you may bathe in the warm spa, in which the Hot Springs flowers have started growing like wildfire!!

Blondell: Excuse me, Ma'am... But this is the entrance to the men's bath!

Blondell: Hello, Sir. Please try to relax!

Clerk: Excuse me, Boss... You must use the men's side of the spa!

Clerk: Hello, Ma'am... Please relax!

Clerk: Oh, Boss...! Are you aware this is the women's side...!?

Please, Sir, you must leave immediately!!

Taloon: Life surely get's complicated in the real world, doesn't it?

Sometimes I think it's easier to build all this stuff, crawl through dungeons, slay monsters, and escape traps...

Maybe I should head on out again... ...like really soon!!

Dealer from Another Town: I can't believe you, Taloon! Not only have you built the world's greatest Arms Store...

Now you've opened the world's largest spa!

Slime: Wow, this feels heavenly...! Purr... purr...!!

Rival Adventurer: I decided to visit the spa before returning to the countryside. Ah, this is paradise!!

Stubborn Old Man: I'm still just a stubborn old man! Today, I'll tell you the proper way to prepare for a bath.

The first rule of a public bathhouse is to fold your clothing neatly! Got it?

Some Bozo left his clothing scattered about in disarray! When I find him, he's going to get the lecture of his life!!!

Bartender: I didn't know battle was this great! I hear that you're always having battles, Boss...

But I never knew it felt this fine!

Sharp Looking Guy: This nutty bartender again...!! Every time he means to say "bath" house...

He says "battle" house...!! Geez! This guy really cracks me up!!

Drunkard: Hic...! What...!? Hic! Haven't you seen a drunk stumble out of a spa before?

Uh... well, I guess the booze is finally wearing off... Huh...?

Where was I and what was I doing before I started drinking...? Arghhh...! I can't remember!!!

Poetic Old man: That venerable old Blondell fellow who runs the spa concession for ya...

Did you know he's been on a lifelong quest to locate the Mystery Chest and those special flower bulbs inside?

Sophia: Did you know that monsters enjoy a dip in the spa, too!?

Why, when they're relaxed, monsters are almost like people!!!

Sophia: Please forgive me, Taloon... I've misjudged you!!!

Customer: I was a bit leery at first, but look at me now... No big deal...

Customer: Huh...!? Are there male bathhouse attendants in here!? Hmmm... I wonder...

Could one of them scrub my back!?

Bar Maid: Tee-hee-hee... on I guess I'm now the... ...bath house lady!! Tee-hee-hee...

Bar Maid: I love you, Taloon! How about it? Shall we bathe together? What's wrong...?

You've turned all red, Taloon! Tee... hee-hee-hee...

Hork: Aah, this is simply wonderful...! I've got to get out more often!

Say, I don't look half bad when I put on some decent clothes and a little makeup, huh?

Hork: I've not yet adjusted my behavior to your gender conventions...

Next time I pose as human, I must remember not to get male and female mixed up!!

Wife of the Dealer: My husband has gone to the spa. What do you suppose he's up to over there!?

Customer: This village has it all now! Not only the best shopping, but a spa, and a full service bar...

There's no reason to leave! I think I'll look for a job, build a house, and move here!!

Old woman: Are you a masseur? If so, I could certainly use a massage, thank-you-very much!

Taloon: -sounds of administering a massage-

Old Woman: Ah...! Ahhh...!!! Ooooh, that feels soooooo good! Please... don't... stop... Oooohhhhh...!!!

Old Woman: Hmm... that was certainly different... But good, too!!

Masseur: Did you see an elderly lady...?TF8TDang! Where did my customer go?

Young Woman: These hot springs are good for me! Look more closely...

Examine my skin and my body... Especially my legs... Aren't they smooth and silky? Well, you don't have to stare!

Young Woman: What...!? Didn't you take off your clothes before you come in? I can't tell...

You see, my vision is pretty blurry... Do you suppose an Eyewash Herb might help?

Young Man: When cutsy- looking Slimes or Demonites come strolling into the spa, nobody seems to mind...

But whenever a Hork plunges in, people take off like the Hounds of Hell were after 'em! Why is that...?

Artsy Twerp: Hee-hee-hee... Say, Taloon, do you think I should try sneaking into the women's side of the bath?

Hee-hee...! Well, the fact you say nothing speaks volumes! The problem is... how to get inside... Heeeee-hee...

Oh, the Change Staff...! Yeah, I could transform into a woman, then easily walk right into the women's bathhouse!!

If you want, I can use my Change Staff on you... Whadaya say...? Are you up to it!?

Heh, I like you, Bud... Hee-hee-hee... Well, here goes...! Yaaaaahh-hooooooo...!!!

Yeah! Don't let anyone stop you! If you want to go in, just do it!

False morality is not cool in this modern day and age! Are you content to lounge around in the men's side only?

The effect of the Change Staff has expired.

Gucci: Oh, the bar is closed today... The bartender and all the rest of them took off for the spa.

Prince: Lately, I've been consulting with Lulu's dad... It concerns the dragons recently defeated in the west.

Despite the best efforts of many good people, the dragons continue to rebound...

Consequently... The Westerners are living in constant danger.

In response, a group of people and I are in the process of planning a major expedition.

Hopefully, we can travel to West and rescue the people who are imperiled by the onslaught of the dragons.

My father tried to dissuade me, but we've heard a legend about a young warrior who will rise against the dragon hordes.

But the legend also tells us this young person may fail if others do not rally to his or her side...

I simply cannot allow that to happen!! I told Dad that if everyone took the wrong attitude...

That if capable people were willing to sit by and wait for someone else to act, soon the world would be doomed!

Taloon, I have learned much from you about perseverance... Thank you for everything!!

I wish you Godspeed, and the best of success in your journies and future quests!

Future queen: The king is such a generous man! When we told him we were leaving for the West...

He just smiled and told us to do our best... Taloon, I'm sure that someday we will meet again.

Until then, be careful... And goodbye!

Ed: Oh, Master...! That damned fool, Mondo... You won't believe this... He's leaving!!

Yes! He just informed me that he's running out on us! You know where he's going...? Huh... huh...!?

Off on some fool's errand to help some people exterminate dragons in the western world!

How's that for loyalty...!? What an asshole... pardon my French, Sir!!! Erk...!!

Taloon: Hey, calm down, Ed... Somehow, we'll make it just fine without Mondo.

Mondo: I've been thinking long and hard about this, Sir... The king gave me this fine medal... And... and...

Well, there's plenty to do here, but somehow I feel like I'm stagnating...

That there's something more challenging out there... Perhaps something new that can use my skills...

There may be some amazing structures in other lands that I've never seen!

I yearn to travel for a while, study more, and learn some new techniques.

We've been together for a long time now... But this is something I feel I must do.

You'll still have good-ole Ed. He plans to settle down here, and maybe raise a family.

Ed can be a real jerk at times, but underneath he's a super guy and a loyal friend!

So, will you give me your blessing to move on...? You will, Sir...!? Oh, thank you, Master Taloon!!

Customer: This is amazing...! I've never seen a store this big! It's... so... splendid!!

Spoiled Brat: C'mon, Dad...!! How long are you going to just stand there gawking at the joint!?

Wake up, will-ya...!? I wanna go shopping already!

Old Woman: I have prayed my entire life... every day! Now, thanks to you...

My body has been relieved of its many aches and pains! Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord!!

Demonite: Kee-kee...! I feel like a million gold pieces!!

Gon: Ah, Master...! I've been thinking...! I've asked myself, "Why have you been so successful...?"

I've figured it out, too! It's because you never gave up... You just kept chasing your dreams!

If a man forgets his dreams, his life will grind to a halt! I have dreams, too... that perhaps I can surpass you!

I have a vision that I can become an even greater arms merchant than you are...! But please don't get angry!!

I mean... I'm not saying this out of disrespect... It's just that I can't stay here any longer!

So, I'm going on a journey...! Polly and I are going to do our best to build a store in another town!

Oh, Master, I hope you aren't offended. We couldn't even attempt this if we hadn't learned so much from you.

I want you to know that we appreciate the opportunities you gave us...! And please don't forget us!

Polly: We were planning to sneak off without saying anything to Nene... If I saw her... well...

It could become emotional! I don't think I could handle that very well.

Thank you for letting me work here. Now, Gon and I are hoping to repeat this success in a new setting.

We want to bring people the same kind of services. We hope you'll understand and accept this.

Will you please say goodbye to Nene for us?

King: My friend, Taloon... For every meeting, there must also be a parting...

Just as there is an end to every human life... But we can never blame those who must leave.

The important thing is how many good people one meets before death comes knocking at his door!

Here and now, similar but in reverse to how our association began, this life encounter may soon be over...

But you and Nene, as husband and wife, have created an amazing domain to attract and meet new people.

This is simply wonderful, and will stand as a monument to your hard work for many years to come!

If part we must, Friend Taloon, I know in my heart that you will soon be doing it all over again.

When that time comes, I hope you will remember how my spirit rode with yours into those darkened depths...

And in this way you will once again take me along when you plunge into your next great adventure!!

Baker: Bread, bread, and more bread...! Get your delicious bread! No stale bread here!

Baker: Come on, get your delicious bread while it's still warm!!

Woman Baker: We make the dough and bake it...! Right here on the premises!

We bake it until it's the same color as a fox's behind... I mean a fox's back! Hee-hee...

Stone Hulk Statue: Ah...!! I've been found out...! Please don't tell anyone that I'm a live Stone Hulk!

Old Woman Who Was in Line: I know.... I saw the Box of Happiness earlier, and I also know...

I've figured it all out... Of course, on the whole, my life has been happy...

But paradoxically, I'm also uneasy at the same time... I had to tell someone.

You say you're very happy? Well, that's good, too... But if the box has taught me anything at all...

It's that reality runs in constant up-and-down cycles... It's taught me "that-with-the roses-also-go-the-thorns".

Amazingly, the box has taught me to appreciate the thorns... ...in the way they contrast so sharply with beauty and elation.

This knowledge alone has brought me more happiness. But look at me now...! I've started whispering!

My background...? Why, I'm a retired high school English teacher...

...back before they started ramming all this contemporary feel-good pop culture garbage down everyone's throats!!

Customer: Since there's a Poverty Staff, shouldn't there also be a "Midas" Staff, or some such, huh?

Armor Shop Clerk: Sorry, Sir... But we don't have any armor that will fit you.

...

...

...

icGuess what, Dear, we have thN in the bank! We need thN to expand our shop...

icGood luck, Sweetheart! on Kiss! on -Nene

icDear, I'll keep that Box of Happiness right here at the shop. Wish you luck! -Nene

icCongratulations, Dear! That Box of Happiness is downright contagious! -Nene

icDear, as usual, thanks for your trouble! There was a little Gold left over after we expanded.

Popolo was able to give out sweets to the customers. Everyone was delighted! -Nene

icDear, are your adventures becoming more dangerous...?

There was a little Gold left over after we expanded the shop...

So, we planted some seeds in the flower bed.

As long as you're here, why don't you relax for a little while and enjoy the flowers!? -Nene

icDear, you're putting forth a tremendous effort!

There was a little Gold left over after we expanded the shop, so I bought you some new dress clothes.

I picked out a few extra outfits for exploring, too. -Nene

icDear, as always, thank you! I used the leftover Gold to run advertisements in the other villages.

Your portrait is on the posters... You're becoming quite a celebrity! -Nene

icDear, as always, thank you! With the Gold left over from the shop's expansion...

I treated the wonderful townsfolk to a feast. The cooking was most enjoyable. -Nene

icDear, keep your spirit up, OK? You tried your best and thanks to you I thought there would be Gold left over...

But this time our savings took a turn for the worse... Keep your spirits up! -Nene on

Nene: Here's your lunch box... Go get 'em, Dear!!

Nene: We'll work hard to make our shop grow!

Nene: Oh, are you taking off again already...? Okay, here's your lunch box!


Nene: Oh, are you going back into the dungeons already?

Well, here's your lunch! Try not to overdo it, my Darling Sweetheart!

Nene: Don't try anything TOO heroic today, okay, Dear?

Nene: Good morning, Dear! Tear 'em up out there today, okay!? onononononon

Nene: Welcome home, Dear!

Today, we're closing the shop for inventory... It's time to restock, too.

Nene: Just keep plugging away at your search, Dear...!

Well, I have to go back to work now... Try not to overextend yourself, okay!?

Do you want to take an item from the Vault?

Will you take anything else from the Vault?

Well, is that it?

Okay Dear, good luck!

Do you wish to store any of your items in the Vault?

Which one will it be?

Rest well, Dear.

Is that it?

Do you wish to store any more of your items in the Vault?

Oh, I'm sorry...! The Vault is already full. Do you want to sell something?

Oh, I'm sorry! The Vault is already full.

Are you finished storing items in the Vault?

Which item do you want to sell?

Sell something else?

Oh, the Vault is empty!

Leaving so soon?

Nene: Goodbye, Dear... Keep yourself safe! on

Do you want to take D more...?

Let me see, from sales of items you brought back...1 We should make la Gold in total profits.

On your next journey, do your best to bring back lots of treasure, Dear! We'll always be waiting right here!

Let me see... profits... 1We should make la Gold in total sales.

On your next journey, do your best to bring back lots of treasure, Dear!

Do you want to store an item in the Vault?

Oh, what is this Box, Dear? This box is unusual... And...! 1 It has such a strange odor, too!

10 Dungeon Tips and Tricks

-From the King


1. Movement by the monsters and you is turn-based, so don't sweat it!

2. Face the monster while you're changing position!

3. When running away, watch out for diagonal attacks!

4. Walk around to recover HP, but stay clear of danger!

5. Hit Undead with the Thunder Staff! Change monsters with the Change Staff! Use Expel and Chaos Staffs, too!

6. When you can't run away, use a Return Herb, or throw a Confusion Herb at monsters!

7. To raise your strength levels slightly, use a Medical or Elixir Herb at maximum strength.

8. Use the Antidote Herb to recover lost strength due to poison! Then use your Strength Seeds!

9. Check the Map to see if an enemy is sleeping!

10. Rings never wear out, but be wary of curses by identifying rings first!
