129.5 Day 6: Choices, Choices, Part 2
"We start by chopping down that Elderberry tree. We know where he is and that his forces are weakened. Defeating him will fuel our allies' evolutions, open a path to my hometown, and net us a forest full of pardoned plant monsters."
Not to mention a good old dash of revenge for Brenda and a little redemption for my recent defeat.
Fishing for the Sandworm is possible as well. It helps I'm almost guaranteed to get attacked eventually if I just wander into the middle of the desert. If I get lucky, I won't have to wait for long.
There's no way to say how long dealing with the Cactus Turret will take, but I won't rule out making the attempt. I may finish early or it could eat up the rest of my day. Regardless, I'd do everything I can to resolve things peacefully and recruit their minions to my cause.
Lastly, I think finding the Library tomorrow has kind of become a pipe-dream at this point. We could end up stumbling around the Misty Grove for hours looking for the dungeon; forget delving its depths and facing its challenges to reach our goal. Now, that's not to say it'd be a wasted trip. Reframe it as obtaining evolution resources for the Slime Solidarity team, and now you're talking realistic! After fighting the Elder, Flou and Olindia would be on the cusp of reaching third-tier while only lacking the cores to cross the finish line. Brenda isn't far behind either. I could think of worse ways to spend our last day before the war!
