Chapter 1: [ [http://www.tgchan.org/kusaba/questarch/res/39302.html Hangover] ]<br>
Question: Where are chapters 8 and 9?<br>
 
Answer: The chapters are numbered in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octal octal] where the digits "8" and "9" do not exist. As such 10 in octal is 8 in decimal. 11 octal is 9 decimal, and 12 octal is 10 decimal, and so on.

Asali decides that the most prudent way to solve this lock problem is to hit it with a hammer. Failing that, she finds the combination under a tablecloth next to the fridge. Upon unlocking her own refrigerator Asali receives her prize, a tentacle monster. Fortunately this is a problem that CAN be solved with a hammer(and copious amounts of crazy eye).

Making her way back to the chasm, Asali encounters a creature with a terrifying visage, so terrifying in fact that she opts to teleport to Ikit's shop rather than try and deal with it. While here, Asali obtains some alcohol for a perfectly HONEST price and opts to tour Ikit's not-quite-a-dungeon basement for where he evidently hosts animal fights. Placing the winning bet wins Asali just enough points to  buy out the last of Ikit's stock. Out of the kindness of his heart Ikit decides to pawn off the winning animal on Asali, earning her free teeth to the face.

====Chapter Twelve: Reunion====
Asali returns. After briefly retracing the steps of the previous chapter's events she finds the disabled robot body of one of the dungeon's previous inhabitants and, in a move that would be totally creepy with any other kind of body, decides to take it along to see if she can fix it. Moving along the rest of the dungeon she finds a secret passage in the dungeon leading to a hall of mirrors and eventually a throne room, which connects to the exit. After leaving the dungeon, Asali quickly hurries to the the queen of the flowers to find her withered and dying. However it is now apparent that the Flower Queen's blight is being caused by a darkened tentacle beast on account of it deciding that now that the flower queen is critically wounded it would be a good time to throw down. After throwing down Asali is quite hurt and stumbles off to epsilon's hideout to recover and upon seeing a bed decides the best course of action is to lay down on it and slip into unconsciousness. While unconscious a spirit shows up and asks her to come on down and visit him and his master. Upon waking up, having decided that the shit she sees while she's asleep is still more freaky than the shit she's seen while awake, Asali discovers that Mint has found and performed first aid on her. After some Q&A and T&A and acquiring a new outfit, Asali decides to see what that spirit was on about and moseys on down to the ice cave. In the entryway she is confronted by a band of animals offering their service as spirit guides(not really) (maybe). Heading into the cave she meets River Styx, the aforementioned Spirit's master. After more Q&A, less T&A, Asali convinces River to craft her a new hammer. Asali then clarifies again,by way of asking River, that she is some sort of undead. Next Asali takes the robot body to Gamma to see if he can fix it. She then takes a look at the Mariana, finding what appears to be a scary haunted-ass house with no immediate way to enter. She then tries the chasm again, where epsilon appears and offers some assistance.
And so they head off to candy mountain (actually just up the mountain they're currently in).

====Chapter Thirteen: Prisoner====
Epsilon, having gotten better after getting dead, is returned to the labyrinth. Whereupon he discovers the labyrinth is now under maintenance and that he is still nude. He chooses to amend this by accosting a maintenance worker and stealing his clothing, providing him with a cover to navigate the dungeon with less hassle. He then quickly puts this cover to the test by murdering an angry guard, molesting two other workers and then killing the Duke in front of an armed cadre of guards. Epsilon is then shot,shot, then shot ,shot once more, shot again and arrested. In jail epsilon opts to meet Shula when offered by the guards. Shula fills him in with the grisly details of what has happened since he departed and offers to carry his words to the rest of the group. After coming to an agreement Shula agrees to create a distraction in another part of town so epsilon can escape. Shenanigans ensue in the form of a candy dispensery,bank robbery and bank bomb threat while epsilon escapes. The dungeon crew, decides it is time to leave the island behind them,certainly now after having possibly committed multiple felonies, but not before Epsilon can feel up Celzt one last time. Tasked with strange goals from a possibly mad entity, Epsilon decides that it is probably time for not only a new disguise but to earn some money and settle in so he can do them uninterrupted. He sets course for the most legitimate purveyor of fine goods on the island, Honest Ikit, to seek work and also bargain for supplies. Predictably accepting a job to acquire 3 different nude photographs of women Epsilon sets out to the forest to camp for the evening, whereupon he runs into an old acquaintance (rather she runs into his security snare trap). Also predictably they have sex, earning his first nude photograph(of that particular month). Epsilon is then accosted by a soldier allegedly dispatched to find him and,upon discovering that Epsilon is not keen on being killed a third time, quickly apologizes by dying. This is followed by a brief dialogue with another party wandering the forest where it is revealed that another soldier sent to find Epsilon was dispatched by Mint Orach. Epsilon later goes on a date that goes particularly well, earning him his second nude picture and realizing that he is in fact a shapeshifter takes the third, earning him enough money to rent an apartment

[[Image:Chapter4.png|thumb|right]]
===Chapter Four===
Asali enters Chilitown. Four out of six buildings are wrecked. She checks the newspaper and
 
sees that a reporter named Fang Tian and some of the citizens were dealing with the Black
 
Plague. She checks the police station first. There is blood everywhere. She finds a locked
 
dressar drawer in one of the rooms. She checks out the place and instead of figuring out the
 
combination to the locker, she smashes and unhinges it. She gets some blood wine.<br><br>
 
Asali enters the hut in between the in tact buildings. Inside is Mint, a drugged up Bubble
 
Held from the Orach clan. She has a hookah going and offers Asali some drugs. She doesn't
 
want Asali around but offers drugs for liquor or Points. Asali buy some drugs, and trades
 
the mushroom for a Rainbow Leaf, and gets some points back for the Blood Wine.<br><br>
 
Asali heads to the bank and tries to talk to a cardboard cutout she thought was a clerk for
 
a moment. She uses the code on the back to open the safe for a good chunk of money. She goes
 
to the wrecked site of all the buildings and almost dies twice to get a picture from a
 
box.<br><br>
 
When she leaves the wrecked buildings the street is filled with Bombignants and a ghost. She
 
gets her hammer out just in case when a black creature kills all but one Bombignant. Asali
 
assaults the humanoid shadow monster and smashes it to the ground.<br><br>
 
She talks to the Bombignant and it dances for her. She asks the ghost about it, and finds
 
out his name is Paul. (No, not Paul, it's Paul)! Paul, not Paul, requests help to write a
 
letter to Mint. Asali agrees so Paul possesses her and writes the letter. Asali delivers it
 
to Mint. Mint seems happy to hear from him, but jokes around the fact he is dead.<br><br>
 
Asali then goes to HONEST IKIT'S and Trades her Bubble Dust and Rainbow Leaf for a Magic Jar
 
and Necromancy Book. Asali then heads to the Gardens and gets pummeled almost to death by
 
the Naviabull in the intersection. She then meets Queen Atasusa of the Fire Flowers in her
 
cave. She is dying and her people are all gone by the black plague. She requests Asali's
 
aid. Asali cannot figure out what to do so she takes the pine cone from the hollow tree
 
trunk and leaves.<br><br>
 
She races across the intersection towards the other side of the gardens and is stopped by a
 
Flower Bouncer. Luckily Asali has the ticket from Dimitri and only needs to make one Mr. T
 
reference. She then dances at the party and notices a cane hooked up near the ceiling of the
 
flowers' cavern. She warps up, grabs it, and falls down to the floor without grace.<br><br>
 
[[Image:Chapter5.png|thumb|right]]
===Chapter Five===
Asali leaves the party and goes to the mountain. There is a gate missing wires and a fuse.
 
She picks up the porn magazine on the ground. She check the flies at the garden entrance and
 
leaves. She enters the graveyard, or attempts to. Asali is drawn into an insult battle with
 
Gamma. With some difficulty she defeats him and gains access to the Grave Site.<br><br>

She then enters the Mausoleum and uses Pre-cognition. There are dials on the wall, a jar on

up wires, and reads the Tablet. She then puts stuff into the jar to no avail. Eventually she
 
solves the dial puzzle. She gets the medallion from its hidden compartment.<br><br>
 
Even with all of the items she thinks she can't seem to summon Duke Hoppite the III. She
 
tries saying his name a bit. Then she fiddles with the dials more. She removes the items
 
from the jar, including a vial of blood she finds inside of it trying to get the rest of her
 
stuff.<br><br>
 
After some experimentation she pours the blood over the other items. The duke is summoned.
 
He turns out to be an arrogant prick. Apparently the murderer mentioned in Nisha's office
 
killed him. He asks for his whereabouts, and seems interested in revenge against the Shadow,
 
explaining how dangerous he is.<br><br>
 
Hoppite awards Asali the key to the treasure room. The room has a trapped treasure chest.
 
With some help from her pre-cognition she manages to solve the death trap and leave with
 
another chunk of money.<br><br>
 
Asali goes to the forest. The forest is closed in on itself due to the biggest tree at the
 
entrance being so angry. Angry Tree seems discontent with his pain and lack of brains. She
 
convinces him that a decorated pinecone are tree brains. He seems pleased by Asali's offer,
 
and is still angry and in pain WITH BRAINS. She wishes him an enraging day and goes deeper
 
into the forest.<br><br>
 
In the forest path Asali smells the fragrance from the tablets. She finds it by tripping
 
over it. She goes towards the exit of the path and uses pre-cognition due to the noises
 
Asali hears. Her vision suggests, "To the left." Asali is shot.<br><br>

In Octals
Spoiler.gif This article contains spoilers! You were warned.
BBQ001.png

Chapter One: Hangover

Awoken hungover on a mysterious island our protagonist gets her bearings,obtains a weapon and heads into a mysterious mine.

Chapter2.png

Chapter Two: Fear

Asali progresses through the mine.She encounters a monster and fixes several mechanical devices along the way in order to proceed.



Chapter3.png

Chapter Three: Freedom

Asali discovers a temple past the mine and meets a friend. After they discuss things she finds a monsta, flees the mine and then takes a visit to HONEST IKIT'S QUALITY SHOP.



Chapter4.png

Chapter Four: Tripping

Asali enters a destroyed Chilitown to find clues to what happened to the island and meets up with Mint Milk and our good friend Paul, not Paul.

She later does some favors after meeting the queen of the fire flowers.

Chapter5.png

Chapter Five: Grave

After a short stay at a party, Asali meets Gamma Gobaku and defeats and befriends Gamma Gobaku and his dear companion. This earns her access to the graveyard and it's mausoleum, which she plunders for clues.



After a big score at the mausoleum Asali decides to go to the forest. She ends up negotiating with a very angry tree to gain deeper access to the forest, whereupon she is set upon by an assailant.



BBQChapter6.png

Chapter Six: Left

Injured. Asali flees to a different, mazelike part of the forest.


After some wandering Asali meets up with Nu, who treats her to a cordial night of eating and learning.

The pair leave the forest and along the way find international badass spy and world renowned superstar fashion model Mission J Frog.

But with no leads leading elsewhere Asali and Mission go back towards the forest.

Act 2: Destruction

BBQChapter7.png

Chapter Seven: Chasm

Asali does some backtracking through the forest to search for clues she may have missed. She comes into brief conflict with the assailant that injured her earlier. They however spectacularly fail to make a second attempt on her life.


Asali later returns home to check her basement now that she has the key.


BBQChapter10.png

Chapter Ten: Darkness

Asali, sporting some serious crazy face, decides to check out her dimly lit basement. Finding spoiled food and a refrigerator sporting a combination lock. Asali decides that the most prudent way to solve this lock problem is to hit it with a hammer. Failing that, she finds the combination under a tablecloth next to the fridge. Upon unlocking her own refrigerator Asali receives her prize, a tentacle monster. Fortunately this is a problem that CAN be solved with a hammer(and copious amounts of crazy eye).

Making her way back to the chasm, Asali encounters a creature with a terrifying visage, so terrifying in fact that she opts to teleport to Ikit's shop rather than try and deal with it. While here, Asali obtains some alcohol for a perfectly HONEST price and opts to tour Ikit's not-quite-a-dungeon basement for where he evidently hosts animal fights. Placing the winning bet wins Asali just enough points to buy out the last of Ikit's stock. Out of the kindness of his heart Ikit decides to pawn off the winning animal on Asali, earning her free teeth to the face.

Next Asali stops by Mint's house to get hammered, drilled and have some questions answered. Learning a bit more about the current state of the island and the disaster that ravaged it Asali decides to put off a visit to the Marina anytime soon and visits the strange landmark instead. Upon using her pendant on it, it is revealed to be a pit trap. Go figure.


BBQChapter11.png

Chapter Eleven: Survival

Ahem, In chapter 11 we are introduced to a slew of new characters who shopped out of the bargain bin when buying their plot armor. They seem to have been thrown into a scary dungeon, built by an architect with a heavy handed opinion of what constitutes re-formative imprisonment(its filled with death traps). REALLY YOU SHOULD PROBABLY READ THIS ONE INSTEAD OF A CHAPTER SUMMARY.

This chapter stars:

Jasper: A bubble touched trap nerd in for unknown reasons

Nic: A bubble touched thrown in for conspiring against the king

Epsilon: thrown in for being Epsilon

Celzt: A blind bubble touched in for accidentally electrocuting something.

Jack: A former freedom fighter thrown in for being upsetting the peace.

Shula: A pangolin miner thrown in for rioting.


BBQChapter12.png

Chapter Twelve: Reunion

Asali returns. After briefly retracing the steps of the previous chapter's events she finds the disabled robot body of one of the dungeon's previous inhabitants and, in a move that would be totally creepy with any other kind of body, decides to take it along to see if she can fix it. Moving along the rest of the dungeon she finds a secret passage in the dungeon leading to a hall of mirrors and eventually a throne room, which connects to the exit. After leaving the dungeon, Asali quickly hurries to the the queen of the flowers to find her withered and dying. However it is now apparent that the Flower Queen's blight is being caused by a darkened tentacle beast on account of it deciding that now that the flower queen is critically wounded it would be a good time to throw down. After throwing down Asali is quite hurt and stumbles off to epsilon's hideout to recover and upon seeing a bed decides the best course of action is to lay down on it and slip into unconsciousness. While unconscious a spirit shows up and asks her to come on down and visit him and his master. Upon waking up, having decided that the shit she sees while she's asleep is still more freaky than the shit she's seen while awake, Asali discovers that Mint has found and performed first aid on her. After some Q&A and T&A and acquiring a new outfit, Asali decides to see what that spirit was on about and moseys on down to the ice cave. In the entryway she is confronted by a band of animals offering their service as spirit guides(not really) (maybe). Heading into the cave she meets River Styx, the aforementioned Spirit's master. After more Q&A, less T&A, Asali convinces River to craft her a new hammer. Asali then clarifies again,by way of asking River, that she is some sort of undead. Next Asali takes the robot body to Gamma to see if he can fix it. She then takes a look at the Mariana, finding what appears to be a scary haunted-ass house with no immediate way to enter. She then tries the chasm again, where epsilon appears and offers some assistance. And so they head off to candy mountain (actually just up the mountain they're currently in).


BBQchapter13.png

Chapter Thirteen: Prisoner

Epsilon, having gotten better after getting dead, is returned to the labyrinth. Whereupon he discovers the labyrinth is now under maintenance and that he is still nude. He chooses to amend this by accosting a maintenance worker and stealing his clothing, providing him with a cover to navigate the dungeon with less hassle. He then quickly puts this cover to the test by murdering an angry guard, molesting two other workers and then killing the Duke in front of an armed cadre of guards. Epsilon is then shot,shot, then shot ,shot once more, shot again and arrested. In jail epsilon opts to meet Shula when offered by the guards. Shula fills him in with the grisly details of what has happened since he departed and offers to carry his words to the rest of the group. After coming to an agreement Shula agrees to create a distraction in another part of town so epsilon can escape. Shenanigans ensue in the form of a candy dispensery,bank robbery and bank bomb threat while epsilon escapes. The dungeon crew, decides it is time to leave the island behind them,certainly now after having possibly committed multiple felonies, but not before Epsilon can feel up Celzt one last time. Tasked with strange goals from a possibly mad entity, Epsilon decides that it is probably time for not only a new disguise but to earn some money and settle in so he can do them uninterrupted. He sets course for the most legitimate purveyor of fine goods on the island, Honest Ikit, to seek work and also bargain for supplies. Predictably accepting a job to acquire 3 different nude photographs of women Epsilon sets out to the forest to camp for the evening, whereupon he runs into an old acquaintance (rather she runs into his security snare trap). Also predictably they have sex, earning his first nude photograph(of that particular month). Epsilon is then accosted by a soldier allegedly dispatched to find him and,upon discovering that Epsilon is not keen on being killed a third time, quickly apologizes by dying. This is followed by a brief dialogue with another party wandering the forest where it is revealed that another soldier sent to find Epsilon was dispatched by Mint Orach. Epsilon later goes on a date that goes particularly well, earning him his second nude picture and realizing that he is in fact a shapeshifter takes the third, earning him enough money to rent an apartment

(and also a dog)

(He's buying the dog, not renting it)
