>> Offer amnesty to Dredlock if he agrees to become your man servent.

DREDLOCK declines. You're so bad at BARTERING that you wonder if there's even a point to have it displayed as one of your stats.

DREDLOCK uses SIGNAL SNARE on you again!

>> Assume fetal position, if he comes to check you, stuff bazooka cups in his face.

You assume the fetal position, which remarkably allows you to slip out of the SIGNAL SNARE.

DREDLOCK comes up and wonders why you've suddenly given up.

BAM. You pull the COLD DISPENSER TRIGGER and shoot a CUP point-blank into DREDLOCK's face! Once again caught off-guard, he takes a big hit!

...? DREDLOCK flees the scene.

You have won the battle!
For not entirely defeating DREDLOCK, you only gain 15 EXP.
You have reached LEVEL 3!
You gain an unexpected new LEVEL 1 STAT: CHIMERAN.
You don't learn any new SPELLS, but your MAGIC SURPLUS GAUGE splits! You gained an extra MP!
