Traveling onwards, the group encounters some kind of forge, and upon not seeing anyone around, they decide to give it a whirl, and throw some of their weapons in to strengthen them. Though it isn't immediately apparent whether or not this was successful, the weapons don't appear to be damaged or anything, so the group collects them back up and heads onwards again, finding a crouched critter known as Bottlor, with a pile of bottle caps nearby. The critter looks up at the group, and holds its can opener protectively, but upon noticing that the group seem to be the adventurous type, says it will give up the precious can opener in exchange for a rare bottle cap. The group, not particularly interested in Bottlor's offer, just continues further north, finding a statue of some kind of heroic figure. Melvin squints at the plaque on the statue to try and read it.
"War Hero Fffffff…fffff..." Melvin begins, struggling to make out the text past a certain point. Blingle comes up next to him and tries to help him out.
"War Hero Frooooooo…" Blingle, too, seems to struggle with reading it. Tora rolls her eyes.
"War Hero Fronak. It says War Hero Fronak. Let's just keep moving." Tora dictates, and Melvin and Blingle get back up. Seeing no further reason to stay around the statue, the group does, indeed, continue their journey, now heading slightly westward. The group is attacked by two wild gummy worms, but the tasty beasts are no match for Melvin, who accidentally steps on both of them, squashing them to death. Seeing no reason to waste the resources, Melvin picks up the gummy meat and pockets it, before nodding to the group that they can keep moving again. The group encounters someone else, this time a man with his back turned to them. Melvin loudly calls out "HI!" to get the man's attention, and he spins around, revealing himself to be Block'em, as well as promptly holding up a massive chocolate shield. Melvin is startled by Block'em's sudden turning around, and fumbles around with his crossbow, taking a small amount of emotional damage. Blingle takes some deep breaths, eyeing Block'em expectantly. Levus looks around at his allies, perplexed at why they aren't attacking what is obviously an enemy, and wastes no time in setting Block'em's chocolate shield ablaze, causing Block'em to wave the slab around to try and put it out. He stops, drops, and rolls, and the shield does the same, causing the flames to be put out, but the chocolate has been melted more than enough for Block'em to be much more vulnerable. Tora and Blingle both send forth their respective summons, with Viola, Jumbo, Sean, and Enik all diving into the ground and tunneling towards Block'em from below. Block'em thinks fast, and puts his shield flat on the ground, hopping on top of it and letting out a triumphant laugh as he hears the sounds of all four assailants bonking into the underside of the shield as they try to surface. Unfortunately for Block'em, in doing this, he leaves himself completely open to attack from everyone else. Blingle sees this opportunity, and, thinking strategically, enters the same tunnels that the summons attacked from, before attempting to surface to attack Block'em. She bonks into the underside of the shield, and Block'em laughs again, but is cut short when Melvin casually walks over to him, grabs his hand, and bends four of his fingers back, breaking them with a sickening snap. Block'em wails in agony, and Levus shakes his head in disappointment, charging up the Shuriken Launcher and firing several energy shurikens at Block'em, which embed themselves in Block'em's torso. Block'em collapses onto the ground, just as the summons and Blingle finally break through the shield, with Viola and Jumbo greedily munching down on it. Melvin looks for anything useful on Block'em's body, but only finds a tube of demonic toothpaste, which he figures he might as well keep.
After donning the bra obtained from Krakatoa, Thicc and Creamy decides that her personal quest has been completed, and saunters off into the sunset happily, while the rest of her group continues wandering the lands. They find what appears to be a sort of abandoned funhouse, and, of course, Shugi and Knight Nikku promptly enter, while Li'l Bleedy and Skeletone keep watch outside. Inside, the duo finds a room with a conveyor belt moving towards them, with banana peels being dispensed from above to make for a very trip hazardous obstacle. Knight Nikku bravely takes the lead, but slips on a banana peel towards the end, and the belt drags him all the way back to the start. Shugi dashes forwards, zipping and weaving around the peels, but stumbles and falls face first onto the floor, also being dragged back. Knight Nikku waits a bit longer, and then tries again, this time being more careful with his footing. He's able to make it across, and Shugi does the same soon after, allowing for the two to progress deeper into the funhouse. In the next room, there are boxing gloves punching out from the wall at random intervals. Shugi dashes across the room, sustaining only a few bruises, but Knight Nikku has another idea, and throws a hat onto one of the gloves, causing it to detach from the wall and make a scary noise as it becomes Boxing Glove Nikku, before dashing away out of the funhouse. After doing this, Knight Nikku realizes that his armor is more than capable of handling the light punches from the gloves, so he walks through the room without issue. In the final room of the funhouse, a Wacky Mirror Shield is placed on a pedestal in the center of the room along with a clown nose and some gold, defended only by a moat of zlomm. Knight Nikku pries open the pockets of Howler's pants and manages to scoop some zlomm in before they can shut again, while Shugi leaps across the moat in a single bound. He picks up the Wacky Mirror Shield, clown nose, and gold, and also finds a couple of escape ropes. He tosses one of the ropes to Knight Nikku, and the two use the ropes to get back out of the funhouse and meet back up with Li'l Bleedy and Skeletone.
