    • DiD: Jadyn, the Deadly Princess


      I think Princess Jadyn is by far the cutest character in this plug. She follows you around like she's attached to you with a rubber band. I always run around and play with her a bit before taking her home. If you run ahead of her real fast, she'll lose you and stay put until you come back and find her again. Her mother probably taught her that. I put that to good use by running ahead to clear out "lurking monsters" and then come back for her when it's safe.

      However, little Jadyn can be deadly. If you run into a corner, she will snap in right behind you making it impossible for you to move. She's done this to me twice now. The first time I was a conjurer and I relocated a short distance away and continued playing. This time I'm a swordsman and I had to reload the game in order to get out of the corner. I tried everything to no avail. I imagine it's the same with a ranger. It's a good lesson in saving your game often. Has anybody else had this same experience?

      RD: This is probably the best example of anything I've seen to give "character" to a character.

      😄 Thanks. I like her too. Now I'll let you all in on a secret. If you leave the scene to somewhere she cannot go (like ducking into the cave) she will find her way over to Fungus who looks after her until you return. She'll scold a bit about your disappearance and want to head home once more. It is wise to save your game just after you meet her because she does tend to get under foot sometimes. If she boxes you in once you have made it to the narrow paths in the next screen, you can find her back with Fungus again. The kid's got spunk even if she is a princess. I think she's going through her tomboy stage.

      That Fungus is a good guy to know! So I could have jumped out with a gate stone and come back for her. That's a good thing to know. As it was, I saved just before I rescued her so I didn't have too far to go back. It sounds like you thought of everything. 🙂 Or you had excellent beta testers. 😄 Probably both!

      This is a pain if you have speed mail, a quicksilver ring, and the boots of Armand on (bringing your speed to 17). You constantly have to run back and get her.

      Which is more important at this point, taking good care of your princess or getting there fast? You can always run a few feet and wait for her to catch up. She's not that slow. She might be a little girl but she has a speed of 12. 🙂 ~RD

    • I know another advantage to her. When she is following you, she works like a magic mirror. The enemies will try to attack her, but since she is a friendly character, she will take no damage. All friendly NCPs act this way. Some other places where this trick is useful are getting the divine lamp, and getting the druid's book beck from the thiefs.
