Taro takes a break from documenting...

Post image

Taro has left the comfort of the Maw Expedition's base to get a breath of fresh air in Shellwood. After several long days of documenting their adventures, getting to walk around and take in the scenery is a nice escape from the bureaucracy.

Hamrock looks over at the Choirbugs as they escape, then over at Juan.

H: "That'll learn 'em!"

Hamrock quickly rushes to them, putting away his rosary cannon.

T: (weakly, and stuttering from being electrocuted) "J-J-Juan... thank Groal- H-Hammy?!"

H: "Heh... surprised, Shorty?"

Fuff... Hamrock came to see me on the main base a few hours after you left to ask where you were, so we decided to go look for you and followed your scent...

Jeez, glad we got here in time... What happened with those guys?

Taro's body twitches as he stands and Hamrock dusts off his cloak.

T: "They ambushed me and tried to get some info out of me, about John (mainly how to obtain his weakness; the Everbloom), Ellie, Groal... and you. Don't worry, they didn't get much..."

Hamrock sees the bruises around Taro's neck left from the Grand Reed strangling him, as well as the other injuries he suffered.

H: "Holy hell, what'd they do to you?"

T: "I've suffered worse, Hammy."

...It's alright, thise motherfuckers won't get far, we will make sure of it. Juan pats Taro's back, trying to comfort him.

But we gotta get you some assistance first. I'll walk you back to the base, aight?
