☀♘ the Slew of Despond ♘☀ [Two Ships in the One Night] by Jennifer Wren

Here is ☀♘ the Slew of Despond ♘☀ [Two Ships in the One Night]
It is the long awaited sequel to ☀♖ the Slew of Despond ♖☀ [One - Castle Seed]

You have gotten used to the sick little mice. Now, you still will use them to catch fish to feed the cat and win his love and up your level, health, and skill, but you will need it to battle the creatures of the deep, too easily awakened, at least for those who choose to see them, as you cross the Salt Sea on the king of Despond Slew's sea-steed, the Seadragon, from Despond to a nearby island, Secunda, to trade with the great people there, and bring back treasure to a grateful king. Or you could just spend some of it. Vacation in Secunda where swimming is fabulous, or visit the peasants who dwell in the twig homes outside the castle walls, and learn more about the culture of the common folk of the Slew of Despond.

Most Important
Note: You will need "$" to enjoy the game. If you want to make the money for killing a sea monster, you must be in excellent health and have a remedy on hand or fireflies or the cat or all three. To make money gradually first, purchase in Secunda any of the things the king and queen in Despond request, as they will pay you for the import.

Note 2: Cold weather may have a slight effect on your health. Your level of cat appeal will both counter sickness and build your resilience, but every time the cat gets hungry, you have to feed him.
There are various health supplements for sale in the markets, which you can take and use in moderation. The clock in the status pane will help you know how long it has been, but guessing is fine.
Secunda has the rare hot weather virus, usually malaria, but luckily it is so rare that you will always have time to recover your health. Just don't fight too many monstres in a weakened state, of course.
Because this game is so terribly easy, once you know how to inundate your health, go out and kill monstres. Take on multiple monstres at once, if they bite, and brag about the results to your friends!

I will look into these things soon, and upload a corrected version. I appreciate that you took the time to let me know where the errors were. I will try to have them fixed before long.

I just, finishing "from the Slew of Despond 2 - 3 Minigames", found the bug in the board game that the peasants play, and it has been fixed. If you really wanted to play the board game but knew it to freeze everything, it no longer freezes anything, and it plays through several Despond nursery rhymes. So, really. I'm sorry it took me so long to find it.

Sorry, that was everything but the only three weapons against the monstres. Yes, I know, that's like the whole game not working, in some ways.

I have fixed the Firefly script. I think everything is right, now.

If you have already downloaded the incomplete game, download it now, and you will get the racing knights changing directions on time, goods and wares, more than one at that, fortunes on the game all the time instead of rarely, and a few other things. If something is still not right, it may really be unintentional, so let me know. I will fix it if I can. It seems to work well, though, now. I'm happy.

It isn't doing as well as I had hoped online. It looks like this game, little as it is, has too much script. The things I love the most are not coming on. First, the boat race, now the wooden piece game, both cause the game to freeze online.

Honestly, you might have to download the game to play all of it.

Racing seems to freeze my game when I play online, and there is a slight lag. My own connection could be better. If your game is lagging, you might not be able to race the Sea Canoe without downloading the game.
It may be this is a slightly heavy game, but it is safe to try it, and if it doesn't play, it can be downloaded and will play well if you have Quest.

I just threw in the race, anyway. It isn't like you get money for racing.

The coordinates run from left to right and top to bottom, in that order.
