Clan Floundry/Location Messages

This page stores messages that you get when fishing, or failing to fish, at good fishing spots for the Clan Floundry.

• Camp Logging Camp

  You cast a line in the lake behind Camp Logging Camp, but all you catch is an old discarded beard. Ugh.

  You do a little fishing in Lake Camp Logging Camp... you catch a baby lumberjack, and throw him back since he's too small.

  You do a little fishing, but all you catch are compliments.

  Around the back of the camp, you find a small lake (or large pond) that seems to be where the lumberjacks go to relax and do some fishing. So it seems like a good place for you to relax and do some fishing.

  The lumberjacks have a small lake at the back of the camp, so you take a little break from your hectic murder schedule to do a little fishing.

  There's a small lake nearby where the lumberjacks practice falling off of logs, so you cast a line and catch a fish.

• Guano Junction

  You do some fishing, but the fish aren't biting. They've probably learned not to eat random things that fall into their pool here.

  You drop a line where the bats drop a deuce, but fail to catch anything.

  You find an underground pool to fish in, but all you catch is more guano.

  You drop a line in a little underground pool, and catch a fish. Try not to think about the fact that it's probably been eating bat guano its entire life.

  You find a little underground pond, and manage to catch a fish that is actually a fish and not a drowned bat.

  You find an underground pool to fish in, and catch a fish that looks pretty normal. At least compared to the weird eyeless cave fish you were expecting.

• Inside the Palindome

  Hsif on -- you drop a line, Enil. A pord uoy. No fish!

  You stop to do some fishing, but all you catch is ihctacuoyllatubgnihsifemosodotpotsuoy.

  Your attempts at fishing in the Palindome turn out about as fruitful as my attempts to write a palindrome about fish.

  Finding a pool here throws you for a loop, and you catch a fish that doesn't know if it's coming or going.

  Fishing for excuses? No need; you need no excuses for fishing.

  Rather than spend any more time trying to work out an actual palindrome about fishing, I'm just gonna say you caught a fish.

• Madness Bakery

  You do a little fishing, and catch a weirdly bagel-shaped fish. It's under the legal size limit though, so you throw it back.

  You drop a fishing line, and catch... well. I don't know what that is, but it isn't a fish.

  You try to do a little fishing in Madness Bakery, but don't catch anything. It's madness! Pure madness I tell you!

  A fish walks up to you, bows, introduces itself in a language you don't understand, and jumps into your inventory.

  You cast a line into a display case full of doughnuts, and catch a fish somehow.

  You're pretty sure you're just hallucinating the fishing hole you found in the middle of this bakery, but the fish you caught seems pretty real. Sorry, I don't know what to tell you.

• Pirates of the Garbage Barges

  You cast a fishing line, but it snags of some piles of rotting junk.

  You do a little fishing from the side of the barge, but don't catch anything you're willing to actually touch.

  You drop a line off the side of the barge, but don't catch anything. Well, nothing that's a fish anyway.

  You cast a line off the side of the barge, slightly worried about what you might catch. Fortunately the fish looks about the same as fish usually look.

  You cast a line off the side of the barge and catch a fish immediately. I guess he didn't want to live in that water any more than you would.

  You do a little fishing off the side of the barge, and catch a fish that smells worse than usual but seems fine apart from that.

• The Bubblin' Caldera

  You try to do a little fishing, but your line catches fire pretty quickly.

  You try to do some fishing, but it turns out to be a pretty tricky endeavor while you're actually swimming in molten lava?

  You try to do some fishing, but your lure melts.

  You drop a line into the molten lava, and catch a fish that is, oddly enough, completely alive and not cooked to a cinder. Although I guess that's not super-surprising, since you're swimming around in it too. Are we sure this is really lava?

  You cast a line and catch a fish. It seems pretty normal for something that's been swimming around in molten lava. I guess they just don't make lava like they used to.

  You take out your fishing pole, and catch yourself a nice warm fish.

• The Deep Dark Jungle

  You drop a line in a nearby pool, but don't catch any fish. Just what is it that They don't want you to find out?

  You drop a line in a nearby pool, but don't catch any fish. Maybe fish don't actually exist and all the photo evidence was faked?

  You drop a line in a nearby pool, but don't catch any fish. There must be some sort of conspiracy by National Fisheries & Hatcheries Consortium.

  You discover a pool of water, filled with shadowy fish gliding just below the surface. When you catch one it to just be an ordinary fish, though.

  You discover a small pond, and wonder what sort of terrible secrets the fish here might be hiding. When you catch one, the answer turns out to be "none in particular".

  You find a small pond, and can't help but suspect that there's something fishy about it. So you catch a fish, and can't help thinking there's something fishy about that as well.

• The Fungal Nethers

  You do a little fishing, but the angry mushroom guys stomping around the place make it hard to relax.

  You find a little underground pool to cast a line in, but don't catch anything. It probably would've been a weirdo mushroom fish anyway.

  You drop a line into a little underground pool, and catch a weird little swimming mushroom. Not wanting to deal with such weirdness, you throw it back.

  You find an underground pool, eerily lit by glowing mushrooms and so forth, and catch a fish (which is also lit by glowing mushrooms and so forth, at least until you carry it out of here).

• The Fun-Guy Mansion

  You didn't really expect to catch a fish in a hot tub, and the fish didn't expect to get caught, and those expectations have proven accurate, because neither of those things happened. Neither of that thing.

  You do a little fishing in a nearby hot tub, but you don't catch anything. Also, fortunately, you don't catch anything.

  You drop a line in a nearby hot tub, and fail to catch a rather surprised and perturbed-looking fish. I mean, it would have looked surprised and perturbed if you'd caught it.

  You cast a fishing line into a hot tub, planning on taking a joke selfie for your social media accounts, and unexpectedly catch an actual fish.

  You drop a fishing line in one of the mansion's many hot tubs, and catch a fish that is surprisingly alive and uncooked.

  One of the mansion's hot tubs has a bunch of live fish swimming around in it, for reasons that you don't care to speculate on. Or at least I don't. Anyway, you drop a fishing line and catch one.

• The Haunted Bathroom

  Look, fishing is great and all, but the bathroom of a haunted house is possibly the worst place in the Kingdom to try it.

  You cast your fishing line into the Spookyravens' toilet, but you don't catch anything. And thank god for that.

  You consider dropping a fishing line into the Spookyravens' toilet, but you're worried you might catch something.

  I don't know what possessed you to try fishing in the Spookyravens' toilet, but you caught a fish. I guess you were possessed by the ghost of someone who was really good at fishing.

  You drop a line in the Spookyravens' toilet, and catch a fish that is completely normal except for the fact that it was in a haunted mansion toilet.

  You would not have expected to catch a fish in the Spookyravens' toilet, but then you wouldn't expect it to be a normal toilet, right? So I guess what's weird about it is that it has fish in it.

• The Haunted Conservatory

  There's a little fishpond nearby, but considering the general hauntedness of this place, maybe it's better not to risk any weirdness.

  You drop a line in a little fishpond, and catch a fish skeleton -- which you throw back, because it's too small.

  You try to do a little fishing, but don't catch anything. Maybe they're all dead.

  The Conservatory has a little fishpond in the corner, and you drop a line. The fish you catch is unexpectedly normal, not skeletal or ghostly at all.

  You cast a line into a little pond in the corner of the Conservatory, and catch a real living fish. I guess Stephen Spookyraven wasn't as interested in fish as in other animals.

  You do a little fishing, but the ancient park fountain doesn't seem to have any fish in it.

  You drop a line in the fountain, but it looks like the fish are hiding from you.

  You look in the big fountain, but don't see any fish. ...Hmm, maybe they're just hiding.

  You cast a line in the Hidden Park's fountain, and catch a fish that isn't so good at hiding.

  You drop a line into the park's fountain and manage to catch a fish. Possibly a really ancient fish, although it looks normal.

• The Ice Hotel

  You cast a line, but all you catch is a cold.

  You do a little fishing, and catch a box of frozen fish fingers. You throw them back because, what the hell, fish don't have fingers! What kind of crazy GMO nonsense is this?

  You try to do a little ice fishing, but all your catch is ice.

  The bathroom in your hotel room is basically just a hole cut in the ice, so you do a little fishing. Fortunately you catch a fish and nothing else.

  The hotel's swimming pool is both inexplicably not frozen solid, and inexplicably full of fish. So you drop a line and catch one.

  You saw a hole in the floor of your hotel room -- by which I mean you cut a hole, not that you have seen a hole -- and you do a little fishing.

• The Oasis

  You cast your line, but it looks like the fish aren't biting. I guess you'll just have to roll with it.

  You stop to do a little fishing in the Oasis, but don't manage to catch anything. Where did it all go wrong?

  You stop to do a little fishing in the Oasis, but you ain't got nothin', and now you're outta time.

  Since you're right near an open body of water, you stop to do a little fishing. And you catch a little fish!

  You cast a line into the oasis -- probably the only normal fishing spot in the entire Kingdom -- and catch a fish!

  You drop a line into the oasis, and manage to catch a fish, so you bag it up and take it with you.

• The Overgrown Lot

  You drop a fishing line into a large puddle, but don't catch anything. Considering what it's a puddle of, it's just as well really.

  You drop a line in a large puddle you find, but don't catch any fish. Unless this is actually an empty whiskey bottle-shaped fish.

  You try to do some fishing in a puddle you find, but don't catch anything. They'd have to be awfully flat fish, anyway.

  The secret to success is not listening to people who tell you you can't do things. Those people who said "you can't catch fish in a puddle in a vacant lot"? What do they know?

  You cast a line into a large puddle, and manage to catch a fish. Honestly you didn't really need to use the fishing pole -- you could've just picked it up.

  You find a large puddle in the corner of the vacant lot, and actually manage to catch a fish in it, albeit one that's a bit flatter than usual.

• The Poop Deck

  You cast a line, but it looks like the fish decided not to hang around the part of the ship called the Poop Deck. For some reason.

  You do some fishing, but don't catch anything. Poop.

  You try to do a little fishing, but the pirates get mad at you for doing honest work on their ship.

  You do a little pooping on the Fish Deck... wait... the other way around. Anyway, you catch a fish.

  You drop a line into the ocean, hoping to catch a regular fish and not one of those horrible deep-sea blobs. Your wish comes true, more or less!

• The Skeleton Store

  You cast a fishing line into a nearby skeleton, which turns out to not have any fish in it.

  You cast your fishing line into a display of skeletons. None of them bite.

  You don't catch any fish inside the skeleton store, which shouldn't be very surprising to you.

  A nearby window display has several skeletons in swimwear hanging around a kiddie pool, which for some reason has been stocked with actual live fish. So you drop a line and catch one. Congratulations on taking all of this in stride!

  Near the back of the store you find a large novelty aquarium made out of skeletons. It has actual fish swimming around in it, seemingly oblivious to how weird this all is. It turns out catching fish in an aquarium is pretty easy.

  You find a barrel labelled "FISH -- not skeletons, sold AS-IS! No returns!" Maybe there was a mix-up at the warehouse. Anyway, you take one.

• The Spooky Gravy Burrow

  You look around for somewhere to fish, but it's kind of dark in here? And filled with violent fairies?

  You stop to do a little fishing, but don't catch anything. I guess you weren't believing hard enough.

  You try to do some fishing, but some stupid fairies steal your bait.

  The gravy fairies leave you alone long enough for you to do a little fishing in a cave pool.

  You find a small pool of water -- unless maybe it's thin, clear gravy -- and catch a fish. And since most fish can't breathe gravy, it probably was water after all.

  You find a small pool of water in the burrow and do a little fishing. Hopefully whatever makes the rocks glow in here hasn't done anything to the fish. The one you catch only has two eyes, though.

• The Thugnderdome

  You stop to do a little fishing, but the audience doesn't seem cool with you delaying the next fight this way.

  You stop to do a little fishing. One fisherman enters, zero fish leave.

  You look around for a pool or puddle or something to fish in, but most of the liquids around here are blood, and you probably don't want a fish that you'd catch in that.

  Maybe this little pond in the corner of the Thugnderdome is for drowning people in? The fish you catch looks like a regular fish though, and not like a skull or anything.

  There is really no reason for there to be a little fishpond inside the Thugnderdome, but honestly there's no reason for anything in the Thugnderdome, so okay, whatever. You catch a fish.

  Some of the Thugnderdome gladiators look at you askance as you start fishing in a little corner pond, but they basically ignore you. You even manage to catch something.

• The Unquiet Garves

  You can't find anywhere good to fish nearby, which is probably just as well since the fish would probably be all dead and weird.

  You drop a line into an open grave, and thankfully don't catch anything.

  You look around for somewhere to do some fishing, but don't actually see anything.

  One of the tombs has a little stone basin of rainwater in front of it, like a morose birdbath, so you do a little fishing and unexpectedly catch something.

  You find a large puddle near one of the graves, and manage to catch a fish from it somehow.

  You find an open grave full of water -- presumably because of rain and not because they're burying a dead mermaid. You cast your fishing line just for the heck of it, and manage to catch something.
