Skid Row

There are some vague or non-exact figures and information on this page. Some spading is required. What does defense do? Does non-wolf-based elemental resistance reduce the damage you take? How about Muscle/Moxie, Damage Reduction, Damage Absorption? Does raising your HP help, or does the houses' damage scale to your max HP? What does Improved Howling! do?

Were you looking for the Dreadsylvanian choice adventure The Even More Dreadful Part of Town?

Skid Row appears in Distant Woods when you use a grimstone mask and choose to become the wolf. You have 30 turns to bulk yourself up and evict as many pigs as you can.

Inner Wolf Status: Time Left: 30 Breath: 3/3 Offense: 10 Defense: 10 Rabbits: 0

Notes

• Post-combat (and -noncombat) results in The Inner Wolf Gym will increase your Inner Wolf lung capacity (breath), offense, defense, and rabbits.
• Unleash Your Inner Wolf takes 3 adventures regardless of how many houses you fight. You continue fighting houses until you run out of HP (your actual HP, not an Inner Wolf attribute). (See Unleash Your Inner Wolf for specifics on blowing down houses.
• If you have 4 or 5 turns of Inner Wolf time left, you will not be allowed to Unleash Your Inner Wolf. The game will tell you:

  You don't have time left to head in there more than once -- you should spend your last little bit of extra time getting ripped at the Inner Wolf Gym.

• If you have 3 turns of Inner Wolf time left, you will not be allowed to adventure in The Inner Wolf Gym. You will get the message:

  <message needed>

Rewards

• At the end of 30 turns you get:

Congratulations on doing your part to clean up Skid Row.

You acquire an item: Outer Wolf™ cologne

• If your score is high enough you also get:

Wow! You did such a good job that you got a package from a secret admirer!

You acquire an item: lupine appetite hormones

or:

Wow! You did such a phenomenal job that you got a big package from a secret admirer!

You acquire 2 vials of lupine appetite hormones

• Being in First Place on the Best Inner Wolves leaderboard at rollover rewards you with a wolf whistle, if you have not received one in the past.
  • If First Place has already received a wolf whistle, Second Place will receive it, and so on.

History

• When this minigame was launched, most of the unorthodox staggering and attack-preventing equipment worked while fighting the houses. This was changed in a series of stealth bug fixes on unknown dates. According to one spading thread, many of these sources were fixed by February 20, 2014; and more were fixed by April 3, 2014.

Reference

• This is the antagonist point of view of the fairy tale of Three Little Pigs.
• Thinking oneself as being an inner wolf is called Clinical Lycanthropy.
