First Arrival
Governor Cappy: - Bienvenidos, señores! I'm Cappy, the governor of all the settlements 'round here.


 * The raids are getting worse than stale scrog jerky by the day.


 * But we settlers can't rely on the government back east for help.


 * We have to show them that we can handle this by ourselves.


 * That's where you come in, señores.

Russ: - We're old hands at this, and that's exactly why we're here, Mr. Cappy Tano.

[Appears a picture of Freeze Crystal]

Governor Cappy: - Ahem... It's just Cappy.


 * How much do you señores know about crystals?


 * When you defeat a group of grocks, they sometimes leaves crystals behind.


 * In a fight, these crystals could be your ace in the hole.


 * I've got a freeze crystal here that you can use on the grocks.


 * A frozen grock is stuck faster than a scrog in mud until it thaws out.

Russ: - Can it stop a boss? How about a grock attacking a tower?

Governor Cappy: - Of course! Your towers will keep on attacking the while they're frozen too.

Russ: - Did you hear that, Dillon? This should help us out a little, right?

Governor Cappy: - There are lots of signs that the attacks are going to get worse.


 * Our historians predicted this after studying the ancient ruins.


 * We must start a thorough investigation and coordinate with mayors in others villages.


 * Hey, señores!


 * Are you listening?

Russ: - Hm? I think i nodded off... That's great, but what can you tell us that might be of use?

[Appears a picture of Rock Pillar]

Governor Cappy: - Tsk! The ancient rock pillars are fragile and can be destroyed with dynamite.


 * It's a shame to destroy them, but we need all the help we can get to stop the grocks.


 * You can buy dynamite in the shop. Use it wisely.

Russ: - Buy it?! Don't you have any to spare?

Governor Cappy: - Tomorrow’s going to be very importante. I hope you’re ready for it.

Prep Time
Russ: - I've been watching your battles, buddy, and I've noticed a few things.


 * Using the claw attack or roll attack helps you finish the battle quickly, but you don't seem to get many items.


 * On the other hand, if you use the grind attack, you get many more items, but it takes much longer for you to finish the battle.


 * It helps to know which tactics to use in which situation, doesn't it?


 * So bear that in mind!

Russ: - Well, whatever it is, me and my pardner here will take care of it!
