For this adventure we are going to go to the Sewers instead, hopefully avoiding the fate of the last party. We're also taking a break fro using disorders for this run, as the two we used last time were quite a problem in fights. Our Tank is set up to work with repositioning, using swap and her high speed to move the other cats around the battlefield, while our Fighter can deal up to 12 damage a turn with his high STR and passive. Our mage and hunter provide better range support than expected, with escalating mana regen and rubber arrows respectively. Bird Feed is the only item we will be taking, to refill our item stocks.

Coming up on the miniboss, we actually managed to acquire a nice disorder on Carlo, thanks to acquiring Forbidden Flame. With Anemia he has even more escalation to his mana regen if he starts bleeding, and a finisher option that nullifies the threat of attaining disorders midfight. However, we are also entering an ambush, so things may go poorly for us this battle. Here are the party changes:

Mage Carlo
+Forbidden Flame
+Anemia

Tank Amethyst
+Sawblades
+Rock Blast

Fighter Newman
+Leather Cap

Oddly, Lucy brought a partner to the fight instead of a typical extra enemy round this time, we engage the Seagull with Amethyst, which brings her down the the same HP as the rest of the party, and then swap her with Bubba Luke to conveniently place him in the tall grass that grew. We get Carlos to take out the bird and move Newman out of the Customary freeze attack, which hits Carlo and her partner!

Amethyst gets some damage in by jumping over Lucy, removing a third of her health with 3 different attacks, and pushing her flamethrower out of range of the other cats. While Newman attacks her we get Bubba Luke to spawn brambles around her, limiting her ability to threaten other cats.

As the Tom Tom has unfrozen now, Amethyst leaps over to it and then swaps with Newman to use Shoulder Check as a finisher, this does mean he's going to be frozen next round, but we should be able to finish this without a tank this time.

The unfrozen cats almost take out the miniboss, and after a parting flamethrower on Carlo, she bleeds out. Muuuch better performance than last time...

After fighting through the Hard Path, we find the shop doesn't really have anything of use beyond Rare Candy, so we move on to the boss.

Party Changes:
Mage Carlo
+Fork
-Anemia
+PTSD
+Necrosis

Hunter Bubba Luke
+Web Trap
+Animal Control

Tank Amethyst
+Tattered Scrap
+Stoic

Fighter Newman
+Bag o' Glitter
+BBQ

Facing an electrical Radical Rat, we're going to use Newman to heal up Amethyst with BBQ'd meat, should be easy, right? Carlo and Bubba Luke deal with the bombs, while we slowly crawl towards the boss.

On turn 4, banking Amethyst's moves with Stoic pays off, as we can use her jumps to clean up more bombs, and then start dealing damage to the boss. And with a crit to the back from Newman, the rat goes down.

In the Sewers, we don't run into much trouble, and the water doesn't prevent Carlo from finishing fights easily with Forbidden Flame. Here are the party changes:

Mage Carlo
+Magnet
-Necrosis
+Insomnia

Fighter Newman
+Underdog
+Breakfast

Facing a Shielded Flushmaster, we use the Swap tactics to bring Newman into range, while Carlo supports from across the map. Even if Bubba Luke can't catch up with the miniboss's movements we have more than enough damage to negate the elite buff.

Interestingly, the blind from Bubba Luke's Sunburn prevents the waves at the end of the round from hitting any of our cats, despite the animation of the entire arena being flooded. And with a forbidden flame, the boss is downed and Newman swipes the Dip left stranded.

After a tense fight with some sharks that involved relying on burn, we reach the boss, here are the party changes:

Mage Carlo
-Necrosis
+Depression

Hunter Bubba Luke
+Craft Arrow
+Rotisserie Chicken

Tank Amethyst
+Slimy Mask

Fighter Newman
+Slimy Necklace
+Sleeper Hold

Once again Boris is on fire, and can use his dash attack despite being immobilised by our slimy cats. Forbidden Flame won't help us here, so we are just going to focus on surrounding him with our melee cats.

The turns go by, and finally Amethyst has low enough HP that we have to pull her out of the fight. Carlos also falls to exhaustion, with Insomnia from his forbidden spell proving his doom! However the BBQ-fuelled beating the boss receives from Newman and Bubba Luke's shots are enough to end the fight.

And that's a successful adventure! With nearly full supplies of food I can continue the stat breeding.
