Talk:The Red Zeppelin

Messages

After combat you get some flavor text. I was adding a few of them when they started to appear quest-related. I have a few scattered around on the pages, and I'll put the rest here. I got the no-ticket message a few times and then...

Against the man with red buttons:

After defeating your foe, you notice that one of the zeppelin's janitors has left his keyring on a hook on the wall.
You grab it and unlock every door on the zeppelin before flushing the keys down the toilet.
Take that, random janitor!

Then I started getting the "no-ticket" message for a few more combats.

Button guy:

Having unlocked all of the doors in the zeppelin, you finally manage to figure out where the nicer cabins are.
Unfortunately, you only have time to check a couple before you hear a guard coming and flee.

Skeleton:

You finally make your way to the largest, most luxurious cabin in the zeppelin. 
You steel your nerves for the inevitable confrontation with Ron Copperhead.

Then I fought Ron. (As a note, these are all on one line, just added newlines to prevent pagestretching) — Cool12309 (talk) 23:45, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

• Once you beat Ron, you can gain bonus items for fighting on the zeppelin. I managed to get both tangerines and lemons.-Toffile (talk) 00:18, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the basic idea is to avoid Red Herring, at the very least. I have yet to see a good message on that combat.--Hastifer (talk) 19:45, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

The page says that being thrown overboard for lack of a ticket negates progress in finding the cabin. I got thrown overboard, and then the next combat got the next step in cabin-finding, so it does not negate your entire progress and make you start over. It's possible that it negates the gain you would have gotten that turn, if you can even get a gain and a thrown overboard in the same round; I'm not removing the comment until I can test that in a future ascension. --Terion (talk) 03:33, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

• OK, being thrown overboard definitely does not reset your progress; it does not make you start over and have to get all the messages over again.I was thrown overboard several times but always the next time I got a progress message, it was the message for the next step that I expected to see. I did not ever see a progress message and a thrown overboard message in the same combat. I changed the text to say that being thrown overboard prevents progress for that combat; I fell pretty safe saying that. If anyone ever gets a progress message and the thrown overboard message at the same time, feel free to change the note. --Terion (talk) 15:45, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

butler:"After the fight, you explore the cargo compartment of the zeppelin. It's filled with a bunch of really boring stuff, but you do get a slightly better sense of the ship's layout."

skeleton:"You rifle through your fallen foe's possessions, looking for a clue as to the leader's whereabouts. You find a note reading Do not enter Ron's cabin for any reason whatsoever. From this, you glean that Ron is... in a cabin."

butler:"On the wall next to your fallen opponent, you see a map of the zeppelin, with an area marked Best Cabins. You note the location, assuming that Ron's cabin is probably one of the best ones, if not the best one."

buttons:"After defeating your foe, you notice that one of the zeppelin's janitors has left his keyring on a hook on the wall. You grab it and unlock every door on the zeppelin before flushing the keys down the toilet. Take that, random janitor!"

In addition, four no-ticket messages; one with the butler, one with a skeleton, two with button guy, none with either of the non-quest-progreßing monsters. _Blargh (talk) 14:15, 4 January 2015 (UTC)_
