Sack Boogies

Quick! Panic! Wait, no! Bat at them with your light! No, Sack, Sack!!!

Duck!
Let em get stuck in the wall, then its easy to stuff em in the bag.

Open your sack and catch them in it.

Thinking quickly, you open your Boogie Sack and hide behind it, hoping to catch the attackers.





Whoops!

Run away, go ask the professor for a re-do

>Use the flashlight on the red ones when they come in close. Also thwap them

Uh-oh. Looks like a briefly freed slurpent has some more acid headed your way

Run away, go ask the professor for a re-do

Alright, this is clearly out of hand. This brawl was unfair to begin with and you've royally screwed everything up. You need a do-over.



You decide to just get the heck out of here and ask the Professor for a new Sack Boogie. The SPARKPUG looked like a good contender.

Sucks to lose your grandmother's Boogie Sack, but Professor Macrocyst had Boogie Sacks to spare.

You run for the door...



...only to discover that the WASPRINGs have reached it first and are now blocking your exit!

>Use the flashlight on the red ones when they come in close. Also thwap them

You recall that you have a makeshift weapon you could use on these boogies.



Hastily, you grab your staff of illumination and bring it to bear against your enemies, screaming as you swing it down upon them.



Unfortunately, the attack seems to pass right through the nearer WASPRING without any physical effect.



That's right... Professor Macrocyst mentioned that Sack Boogies can only be harmed by other Sack Boogies.

Still, the Boogie Sack seems solid enough against your thwap, and you knock it to the ground.



One of the WASPRINGs lets go of the Boogie Sack but the other one holds on and gets pulled down to the floor, hopefully putting it temporarily out of commission.

Uh-oh. Looks like a briefly freed slurpent has some more acid headed your way

SLURPENT USES GLOOP SHOOP!

> Welp. Looks like you're gonna get that cool scar after all.
> Make it a double.
> Try to take it like a man. Fail.

Duck!

Sigh. And the blue hat was your nice hat.
Get down, and turn that flashlight on next time.

Suddenly notice a penny on the floor and go to pick it up.

>So what happened if a sac boogie captured you in a boogie sack ? Woud yuecme their obedient pet ?

>Bad Slurpent, bad !

>Get down and turn the flashlight on to stun one of the red bugs!

> Welp. Looks like you're gonna get that cool scar after all.
> Make it a double.

Alright, there's no avoiding this. You're going to get stabbed by a WASPRING from one side and burned by corrosive gloop from the other side.



You just need to muster your courage and take it with some machismo.

Just think of the cool scars you'll have! Maybe a cybernetic eye or something...



And you can probably wow everyone with your cool story of how a Sack Boogie stole your Boogie Sack and then your own SLURPENT turned against you...

> Try to take it like a man. Fail.

Duck!

Wait no, that sounds awful!



You duck just in time to avoid the dual assault.



Fortunately, the gloop takes out the WASPRING!
And your good blue hat.

Are you in the clear?



Uh oh, looks like the other red WASPRING is getting back up!

Sigh. And the blue hat was your nice hat.
Get down, and turn that flashlight on next time.

>Get down and turn the flashlight on to stun one of the red bugs!

Thinking quickly, you activate your staff of illumination!


Sack Boogies don't like light because it makes it more difficult for them to umbrificate.

It doesn't actually harm them in any other way, but while the WASPRING is possibly distracted, you reclaim your Boogie Sack and beat a hasty retreat!



You can't run very far, though, and the WASPRING is pursuing. You rejoin SLURPENT near your bed.



SLURPENT was able to somehow subdue three of the WASPRINGs in addition to the one that got glooped, so now you just have like nine or ten more to deal with.

How are you going to get outta this?

I'm not sure, but it's vital that you capture the Lustrous Waspring (the red one), those things are really rare!

If only you had a brighter light source to divert their attention and give you more time to make your next move.

But where could you possibly find one while standing next to this closed window?

>Open the window and use the lantern even if it has a smaller effect.
>Pick up the sack and try to pick the red ones! If you can't, just pick a few from the ground... Wait, they're dead.
>COMBO ATTACK!!!! COMBO! COMBO! COMBO!
>Also pick your bedsheet and maybe throw at them or use as a shield.

>Open the window and use the lantern even if it has a smaller effect.

You decide that the closed window has put you at a tactical disadvantage, so you open it with your staff, flooding the room with the late morning light.



Did it give the WASPRINGs a moment's pause? You're not really sure because it takes a moment for your eyes to adjust.

>Pick up the sack and try to pick the red ones! If you can't, just pick a few from the ground... Wait, they're dead.

Hey, that's right! You can capture the subdued Sack Boogies and maybe turn this thing around!

It's not really very sporting to command multiple Sack Boogies at once, but this is a desperate situation, and they started it by ganging up on you. You look around quickly to assess which ones you should nab.



There are the three gray ones laying prone in a subjugation funk near SLURPENT, and the one red one over near the door.

The red WASPRINGs seem more rare, based on your admittedly limited experience, and they were smart enough to go after you and steal your Boogie Sack.

You decide that you really need one of those on your team as soon as possible!

You make a running leap across the room!



And then you bring your Boogie Sack down upon the hapless red WASPRING!

Woohoo! Now this brawl will surely--



You're wracked with indescribable pain as seven WASPRINGs pierce your back with their stingers.



Hoo boy! What next?

SCREAM IN PAIN

>Scream for you mommy
>Use cortical boogiepedia fastly while you cry for a bit.
Seem's like there's seven bugs around, we wrecked four, yeah, it isn't a good day for us, it is?

Slurpent: lob acid at the wasprings now that they're all in one spot!

sob painfully as you pluck each wasp from your back and stuff them in the boogiebag.

SCREAM IN PAIN

You scream uncontrollably.



Amid your wails of torment, you cry out for SLURPENT to save you!

Slurpent: lob acid at the wasprings now that they're all in one spot!

SLURPENT USES GLOOP SHOOP!!



Remarkably, you've ascended to new heights of agony.

>Scream for you mommy

Your shrieking intensifies as you call for MomDad.



Your bedroom door opens to reveal your Mom-and-Dad in the hallway.
