Chapter 33: a close call

With the toxic spaghetti left behind us, we keep going into the next room. Ok, i don't remember this room, so i'm going to have to figure it out. "Hey mom, it's another puzzle! Split up, try and find the solution, ok?"

"Alright, my child. I'll take asriel and go forward, why don't you try and that path, down there?" I hand asriel to mom ash she set's out on the forward path, while i go down below. I see a patch of thick snow, which i ignore, and a few spikes, which shoot down shortly after i see them. Huh. i walk past the retracted spikes, past a small bridge, and see two hooded figures approaching.

"Who's there?"

"Who's there?"

"Identify your smellf!"

The two dogs wander around the area for a minute, smelling everything, before stopping in the center, near me.

"That smell… it makes me want to eliminate."

"Eliminate YOU!"

*Battle start!

Aww shoot. Now i remember these two. Dogamy and Dogaresa. How can i do this… petting?

*Act Pet

*they are still suspicious of you, so your pet attempt failed.

They both swing their large axes at my soul. I try and duck between the large attacks, but end up getting nicked the last time.

*HP 17/20

I think i should be fine… for now. What else can i do… re-sniffing probably won't work… well, only one thing left to try.

*Act Roll-around

Other than getting my shirt really dirty, it didn't seem to do much. The two dogs start launching rings of blue and white hearts to each other, leaving me in the crossfire. I try to navigate between the attacks, but fail, and get hit three times.

*HP 08/20

Dangit… i don't know what to do… nothing seems to be working! Maybe i could just spare them?

*Spare

Nothing happens, and they begin their next attack. The large swinging axes again try and crush me. On both sweeps of the axes, i get hit.

*HP 02/20

Oh no… i might die here… what can i do… what can i do… as i struggle to try and figure out what attack i can do next, several large flames appear in front of me, blocking the dogs from seeing me.

"You two will leave my child alone, RIGHT NOW!" mom runs in and glares at the two dogs. They start whimpering at the large flames, and run away.

*You WON!

The battle fades, as mom rushes up to me. "My child, are you alright? Those two hurt you really badly. I'm sorry i was not there to protect you."

"It's fine, mom. It's not too bad."

"Sorry we were late!" Asriel cuts in "we found a button hidden in the snow, and after mom pushed it, she got distracted by this guard dog. She wouldn't stop petting him. She only stopped after we heard the sounds of battle somewhere else. Anyway, i told you would need this." Asriel pulls his wrapped package of nicecream out of my bag. Oh, i completely forgot about that… oops.

*HP restored!

Well, let's not let it get that close again. "Stay close to me, my child. I won't allow another incident like that to happen. nevertheless, we should keep moving." we go down the connecting passageway, and are greeted to another puzzle. Well, this one seems much simpler than the last one. I step on the first marked X, and go around the snow structure to step on the other one. As soon as i do so, mom steps on the pressure plate, disabling the spikes. We then notice papyrus on the other side of the retracted spikes.

"WHAT! HOW DID YOU AVOID MY TRAP! AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, DID YOU SAVE ANYTHING FOR ME?" he's talking about the spaghetti, right? Um…

"Oh, i'm sorry papyrus." Asriel interrupts my thoughts. "I couldn't stop myself." from destroying it.

"WOWIE! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU ENJOYED MY COOKING THAT MUCH! WORRY NOT, I SHALL COOK YOU ALL THE SPAGHETTI YOU CAN EAT WHEN WE GET BACK INTO TOWN!" he walks away.

"Mom, do me a favor, teach that guy how to cook, please."

"Agreed. His cooking is currently worse than Asgore's attempts to replicate my butterscotch-cinnamon pie. Worry not, i shal be able to teach him the correct method later, but for now, we must keep moving." we walk in the same direction that papyrus went in.
