Sir, we've finished digging the tunnel. We're ready to move on your word.
Excellent. These filthy Canadian RCMP officers are too busy celebrating the New Year to keep a proper watch on the cells.
Very good, sir.
Now, while they're distracted, move the army through these tunnels.



Heh, heh, yes, good, good. This is all very excellent. Although--hmm, we don't seem to have come out above ground.
No, sir, we appear to have uncovered the Secret Catacombs Of CanadaTM
Goodness, not the Secret Catacombs Of CanadaTM!
Yes, sir, the Secret Catacombs Of CanadaTM!
Hmm. Well, I suppose we'll just have to continue digging to get through the Secret Catacombs Of CanadaTM.
Sir, agreed. We have many soldiers with which to complete the job, although--
What is it? Speak up!
The Secret Catacombs Of CanadaTM are riddled with mines.
Blast! Of course they are. Well, we'll just have to be careful. Use your training!
Of course, sir.
And put on one of these many Indiana JonesTM costume kits that happen to be lying around. If we DO happen to come out above ground, it would serve us well to be in disguise.



Of course, sir.
Excellent, now let's see. Where should we go first?



Oh dear. Uh, is there a clone trooper who is willing to go first?

Also gently caress the Windows 8 Minesweeper. When I play Minesweeper, it's because I have a short attention span while listening to LP videos or talking to people, turning it into a fullscreen "game" kind of ruined it for me :argh:

Ahh, excellent! The Canadian Government's gold appears to be stored in these catacombs as well! Good work, Trooper.



A mine has been located as well. Don't step on it, or we will lose one of our precious heart icons.

Actually, maybe we should push Trooper nine-gear crow onto it for being a meanie.

Wow, uh, you Clone Troopers sure are busy fellows. That's a lot of digging! Good work on finding that gold, though.

Chwoka posted:

Hmm. It appears to be locked. Knowing the Canadian Government, the key for this door is haphazardly laying around in this very room. Troopers, spread out, find that key! We must know what is behind this door!

Not possible, unfortunately, because the Clone Troopers appear to be incapable of excavating a single brick of dirt at a time.

Hmm, interesting. Looks like this Canadian Dynamite can blow up just about anything in the Catacombs. Should we still proceed to destroy the door? Or should we save the explosives for later?



I'll be the first to admit it: I'm more of a Space Wizard, than anything else. I have no idea what's happening right now.

The question is, does marking the mines and clearing known safe spots even do anything for us anymore? It's the whole point of regular minesweeper, sure, but here we're on an ~Adventure~ (mode) and I don't know that clearing and marking gives us any benefit other than not accidentally setting off a mine later on.

Hmm. Looking at the current map, it seems like this is a kind of tutorial. We can't safely advance below, and the upper path has three loose rocks in the wall. I think we have to use the dynamite to blow through those, and then we can advance up and around, hopefully find other dynamite, and most definitely find a key. So, uh. Those are my recommended orders, sir.

Let's hope you're right about this, Trooper Oblivion4568238.



Sir, there are supplies behind these rocks!
What a pleasant surprise! Any Sith artifacts?
No, sir, mostly low-tech ballistics and shielding.
Oh, bugger.







Aha! The exit. Who will clear the way for your Glorious Leader? I still recommend pushing Trooper nine-gear crow into the path. Or Trooper Air is Lava! They called me "weird".

Curiosity got the better of me, and I looked up a thing or two (don't have Windows 8 myself). You can find gold pieces under some dirt pieces. Don't know if that's worth it, though.

Also, found a guy saying that every 5th level is way harder and you might want to hoard for that.
