Self-Proclaimed “Small-time Baddie of the Gaol,” Tasteman
Good day or evening, ladies and gentlemen—this is Tasteman, coming to you with another tasteful video.
Recently, I’ve been doing nothing but streaming everyone’s favorite monster-hunting game, so it’s been a while since I touched Dendro. It’s a shame you can’t really stream that one.
Anyway, since most of you can’t go here yourselves, this is gonna be another video where I show you around the gaol and tell you stuff about it.
Last time, I told you about the created dungeon set up by the devs, and this time, I’ll tell you about the Masters here. First, you should know that they can be split into two groups: small-time baddies and big-time villains.
This is because of how save points work.
As you all know, the gaol is the place where Masters are imprisoned when they get on wanted lists and run out of save points they can use. You can also have a “backlog” of save points, so even if you’re wanted in the most recent country you visited and can’t use their save points anymore as a result, you can still log back in using your save points in countries you visited previously where you aren’t wanted. This works even if you’re coming back from a death penalty.
That’s why there are two kinds of people who run out of usable save points: small-time baddies who never even left their starting country, and big-time villains who’ve been all over the world.
The former are done the moment they get on their country’s wanted list. They get sent here not because they’re such notorious criminals that every country’s out to get them, but because they don’t even have what it takes to travel out from where they started.
The latter, on the other hand, are these terrifying bad guys who’ve got save points in multiple countries, but still did enough to get on all their wanted lists. They’re much less common than the former, though.
This means that the mid-level criminals who are only wanted in some of the countries they’ve been to are still at large—but personally, I feel like that’s a problem with Dendro’s international laws rather than anything to do with the game mechanics.
Anyway, that’s why the gaol’s Masters are either local small-time baddies or global big-time villains. I myself am a small-time baddie who never left Legendaria and got on its wanted list for theft.
I swear I didn’t kill anyone, but what I stole was valuable enough to send me here. I should’ve known that a cup used by Her Majesty Titania was, like, some kind of national treasure.
Please promise to learn from my mistake and don’t commit crimes as casually as you would in a conventional game. If you want to experience the gaol, though, just keep watching my videos.
That aside, have you noticed?
I’ve been recording throughout the entire explanation, but nothing has happened yet.
Normally, someone would’ve called out to me or dragged me into some trouble by now...
Actually, I don’t see anyone anywhere. It’s a total ghost town. Usually, this place is packed with thieves—or worse.
I feel like I’m making an abandoned village exploration video.
I don’t want to restart the recording, so I’ll go look for villager—I mean, prisoner number one. There’s a popular café in here, so I’ll start there. Its hours are all over the place, so hopefully it’s open right now...
Oh. And there it is. That’s the café...and there’s a piece of paper on the door.
If it’s closed, they normally just put up a sign. What’s this about...?
“The first one to visit will receive the rights to the store.”
...W h u t?

A few days had passed since King of Crime, Sechs Würfel and his clan IF had escaped from the gaol.
The rights to his café, Dice, went to the prisoner by the name of Tasteman, who’d just happened to miss everything that had happened here.
After this, he started the “Gaol Café Series,” covering the various incidents surrounding the establishment left behind by the King of Crime, but that was another story.
