I am Edmund and I have descended into the underworld to save my bro!
Now...
Now... I am kinda lost and have no idea. I spy houses in distance, even some sort of small towns. Weird. I did not know underworld had any kind of towns.
In horizon I can kinda see the capital of this all which my grandpa talked about. My grandfather knows lot about this stuff. He gave me a special gunfriend
and other handy equipment.

Probably best to explore one of the houses first. Shouldn't contain too many demons to deal with, which should simplify things and make it possible to ask them questions and stuff.

Yeah, a gun, a friend. A great friend.
>"So, your first time in the Underworld?"
"Yeah."
>"That's cool, just remember to uh- not die."
"Mad tip."
Anyway, let's keep going. My current inventory is following:

- Gunfriend
- Rope ( ~3m )
- Two hooks
- Jetpack ( with fuel for 30 second flight )
- Food and water
- Coins
- Comics
- A rubberball
- A flashlight
- A vague map of underworld ( Grandpa's )
- Bandages.

You got distracted in a land where there be demons. But it should be ok, shoot it in the head if you're still close enough to the ground to not get seriously injured or killed if it dropped you. If you're too high then all you can do is hang on and wait for a better moment.

Motherfucker jumped Edmund and with a roar grabbed him up and is now taking him somewhere unknown. I would assume it is hostile by default, but you never know. Probably taking him to a nest where he is to be feasted upon.

Talk to it. If it does not respond, see what is below. If you can get free of him(by shooting him or something) you can use the jetpack to land safely.

Yeah, getting to the middle, 'Dis' as my grandfather dubbed it, is my current plan. I am pretty sure there is something that knows where the hell is my bro.

That is no sun. I am not sure what is it. It seems to fixed over Dis.

Okay, I am stalking these demons. They seem to be kinda intelligent, but don't seem to friendly. There is one demon nailed to one of the black pillar.

Ok, don't run. Just see if you can find some garbage or something to roll around in. If not then sneak away and try to find a hiding spot. Once they have hopefully thinned out after the train leaves you can try to chat with the dude that nailed stuck. He might be willing to help you.

And uh, the blow also interrupted the spell! It flew past me and hit the side of train, blowing good portition of it up! Good thing I did not get hit, that would have been very nasty!

>"Good job Twewy, maybe I underestimated you. After al-"
"A Twewy. No wonder.

The old man is engaging the demon, but seems to have trouble dealing any sort of damage!

So so so, shoot the coupling? If I go and break it now, old man might be left alone with the demon!

The old man should know the best place and time to attack, it's best to work with him on a team attack instead of you both just doing your own weak attacks. If the old man's attacks aren't doing enough damage, shoot the places as he injures them, exploit those weak points for massive damage.

If he's got an impervious but very small shield, and he's not moving it about to make the best use of it, then it's probably protecting something important.

Shoot the arm it's attached to, preferably near a joint like the shoulder.

You might try a double shot feint, one at the shoulder then another about half an arm's length below to catch his elbow if he brings up the shield to block the shoulder shot.

Ah, Old Man has been wounded when fighting against the demon with a sword. I think his arm is bleeding a lot!

I need to do something!

Bang! Fire at the clasp! The shield falls with a clank! What a silly thing!
Behind the shield was a- thing. Not sure what is it!

If it's focusing something big compared to the last blast you're probably not going to be able to dodge it unless he fires in a completely different direction to you.

Run to him and trip him over onto his back by slamming your body into his while putting your foot behind his so he can't step back. Once he finishes firing into the sky shoot him point blank into the spot that was previously protected by the shield.

Ask if there's a really stupid demon anywhere around. It would be good to speak to someone and ask really basic questions like how money works, if the weather changes etc. without risking being found out.

If he asks why then tell him it's because speaking to idiots makes you feel pretty good about yourself. Demons should accept such a line of reasoning I expect.

It tells me that the Scutum that visited recently is bird-like creature. The Scutum before that? No clue, some demons have terrible memory.

Anyway, it pointed me out a a really stupid demon. Very very terribly stupid!
Demons here don't seem to use currency. It seems to be all about trading and favours.
There seem to be some weather changes, but they are not that frequent. It doesn't know about city, never been there. It has been near the bridge tho, and told that it is guarded by a huge metal thing. Hm, and uh. It seems that most of demons do not have same needs as mortals, however, some retain some needs. Some retain hunger for food and drink, some retain obsession over wealth and some want sex.

The stupid demon did not suspect a thing. What a stupid idiot.

WOOOOAH.
That was a silent one! Good thing I noticed it before it was too late. It is some sort of wormy thingy!

It submerged! Damn, this is nasty. I can still somehow track it somehow. It emits some sort of aura-.
I kinda have felt it around the other demons, but now it is just plain nagging me!
