Chapter 1X: Fear No Fuzzy (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=126108.msg4306988#msg4306988)

One thousand years after the second Fall of the Mushroom Kingdom, its original heroes and stories have become mere legend. Life is peaceful and prosperous in the residential district of Toad Town. Today is 'Shroom 1, 1000 A.F., and the legends of old say that one of the Power Stars - magic objects with the ability to make your wishes come true - will land tonight on the roof of the grandest building in all the land: Princess Peach's castle.

True or not, Peach just loves to throw parties, and she's invited Mario and Luigi, the two most competent plumbers in the country. She might have even baked them a cake. But, of course, this is not their story.

No, it's your story. You are part of the Princess' specialized security detail. High-ranking military officers, if you will. The word on the street is that nefarious King Koopa, Bowser, believes in the legend of the falling Power Star, and may attempt to storm Peach's castle to steal it. Even if the legend is bogus, you've got to keep watch at the party. After all, the events tonight could be the start of your... Second Story.

Just under an hour before midnight...

It's a quiet night in Princess Peach's castle. Many of the invited guests did not show up, and the Princess herself has yet to make an appearance. Perhaps Toad Town's residents were fearful of another Koopa Troop invasion. Whatever the reason, the guests who came and stayed have finished dancing and toasting. Idle chatter and rumors of the falling Power Star now fill the room.

Standing around at their posts in a corner, the Royal Guard awaits the Princess' entrance so they may get on with their job and protect her to the best of their abilities. A door opens, and they all turn toward the raised platform leading to a private section of the castle. However, instead of the Princess, a Toad with a yellow-brown theme and spectacles above his fine white 'stache walks out. He approaches the Guard and begins to speak as the guests back away, aware of his rank.

The refined Toad touches his spectacles then looks down at a sheet of paper. Finally, he looks back up and addresses the Royal Guard members.

(http://i.imgur.com/gcnx2AG.png): "Um, yes. Yes yes. I'm Commander Toadsworth, Commander-in-chief of the Mushroom Kingdom Royal Guard. First of all, thank you all for staying out so late. Our 'No Mingling With Civilians' order must be such a drag at times like this."

Toadsworth studies each of the warriors as he speaks, eyeing their weapons and armor for an uncomfortably long time.

(http://i.imgur.com/gcnx2AG.png): "Secondly: we've received intelligence stating an unidentified airship was sighted just sixty south-southwest of the castle. I'm bringing the Princess down momentarily - this is the safest room in the whole building, after all. Yes yes. Be back."

(http://i.imgur.com/hiLmzmf.png)

Toadsworth almost heads back up the stairs, but stops and turns around.

(http://i.imgur.com/gcnx2AG.png): "I almost forgot: I so rarely deal with individual soldiers. As we'll be working together closely tonight, it's best we get to know each other a little. I know your names, so why don't you tell me how you got here? Always fascinating to hear, yes yes."

Inezach stands at attention, but surveys the room and the people in it while talking.

Teressa snapped to attention as soon as the commander had spoke and still hadn't relaxed, eyes constantly darting around the room to look for danger. When they were asked a question, she glared at the others for a moment for acting so casually to their commander while on the job and replied curtly.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZWjrmPK.png)"Sir! I trained with my mother for this job, and when I came of age I signed up. It's something of a family tradition, sir! I've been doing this job for 4 years now, sir!"

A small voice is heard, as Boothany materializes beside Ochi, smiling shyly.

(http://i.imgur.com/Xam8A6P.png)"Um, h-hello everyone! B-B-Bethany Boo, here." she said, with minimal stutter. "I'm a swordsboo, see? I used to be a Pira...er, private entrepreneur. Now I work for the Mushroom Kingdom, my contract on loan from Sarasaland. N-n-nice to meet you all!" She says, vanishing right after.

Boothany blinked once, her stubby hands adjusting her bandanna.

Anyway, I personally have acquired a certain subset of skills that make me a prodigy in applied explosgioneering." She said, making up a word on the spot. "...well, I still need to work on my Boo-Bomb design to make it 'humane' under Mushroom Kingdom ordinance laws, and that might take some time."

Toadsworth walks up the stairs and knocks on the door to the private section.

hours!"

"Aye-aye!"

(http://i.imgur.com/gcnx2AG.png): "Oh, gods, we're being invaded! I failed the Princess! Royal Guard, assume battle positions. Everyone else, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

The Toad guests scatter, hopping out windows and falling down stairways to escape. It looks like Toadsworth wasn't kidding about working closely with the Royal Guard tonight.

Spoiler: Basic battle explanation (click to show/hide)

Please bold your movement/actions.

Movement and action works similar to Fire Emblem. Each player takes a Movement Phase and an Action Phase each turn. During your Movement Phase, you can move NORTH, EAST, WEST or SOUTH (alternately, UP RIGHT LEFT DOWN) but not diagonally. You can only move as many tiles in a turn as you have SPD. Finally, you can move through allies but not foes, and you can't end your turn on the same tile as either of them. Don't forget your character sheets are in the OOC thread, second post.

During an action phase, you can take ONE action. Activating a spell/ability, making an attack on a foe, using an item or what have you. Actions work similarly to movement - you can't attack a foe just northwest of you with a sword, for example, because that's counted as two tiles (north and then west). Once everyone has finished both their phases, the turn will end, actions will be counted and the Enemy Phase will begin.

You may move and then take an action or take an action then move. If you want to make an action without moving, please say so.

One last note: any format for movement is fine as long I understand it, but be precise. "Move to 13,2" would take you to the top right corner of the map, but you can also say "move 1 North, 3 west then attack Goomba A." If you have any questions about the terms in the game, please ask in the OOC thread.

Ochita, noticing an opportunity, runs up toward Kammy and chants a quick sequence of words. Moisture from the air condenses into a bubbling, swirling sphere of liquid between her hands. With a quick step forward, she hurls the sphere at Kammy, drenching her in water.

Vilhelmas rushes up around Inezach, taking him by surprise. A slight spark is released from the warrior's heavy mace as it crashes down onto the Goomba Mage.

"Ya think ya can take me with your lil' Snifit bullets? I got the Void on my side! Just try!"

Tanky runs up in front of Inezach and inhales. He's knocked back by the force of an exhaled bullet flying toward the Goomba Mage. A quick flash of dark purple appears around the Goomba Mage, and Tanky's iron ball is deflected, bouncing off through one of the windows already broke by escaping Toads.

Bethany, noticing the Goomba Mage is still an imminent threat to her friends, moves past her allies and flies over the wall to the raised area, ending up beside the shroom magi. She pulls out her foggy Booblades and starts a slashing assault. One blade strike is enough to rend the Goomba Mage in two. After the gruesome attack, the Goomba Mage disappears into the Void with a "pop!"

Commander Toadsworth raises his Royal Rapier and steps back. A glimmer of light flashes from the tip of the Toad's blade. Toadsworth chuckles and dashes toward Goomba B, puncturing him with a flurry of vicious, lightning-fast blows. The Goomba falls backwards and explodes in a puff of smoke.

Kammy builds up a Void Sphere, but even she looks amazed by the size of the dark orb. The spell quickly grows out of control, flying toward Teressa and out of Kammy's hands. An enormous rumble shakes the castle as Teressa is blasted by an explosion of pure darkness. The warrior-girl falls back onto her own armor with a *clang*. Afterward, Kammy dodges away toward the leftmost window.

Meanwhile, the remaining Goombas move to block the Guard's slow advance. Both of them pile onto Boothany in an attempt to prevent her further advance. One misses the Boo and falls on its face. The other strikes her, but the attack mostly glances off.

Boothany pulls out her handy contract, all in ghost-proof ink. It spilled out onto the floor, several pages long.

(http://i.imgur.com/Xam8A6P.png) "...it says here The Mushroom Kingdom is ruled as a constitutional monarchy by a figurehead of state known collectively as 'Princess', who operates with the confines of the Mushroom Kingdom universal rights act of 1985 (as coined in Peaches famous 'a 1-up mushroom in every pot' speech) in regards to governance.

Moving on...Hammer Bros in the workplace...Koopa Girls, Shellproofing and you: Cover your shame...edicts on illegal Piranha plant cultivation...Blah, blah, blah...boo, boo, boo...

...In the absence or death or banishment of a ruling royal family member leaving the Government without a clear heir or chain of succession (this is underlined several times) due to a possible future unspecified giant reptilian threat...an emergency convention of the leaders of the seven largest and most influential cities and districts in the Kingdom-currently defined (as of last years census) as Toad Town, Starborn Valley, Mushroom City, Rogueport, Glitzville, Poshville Heights and Forever forest (approval pending)-can assign laws and edicts until, and I quote 'this all blows over'. We should continue to serve in our duties as guards using any and all means available to us to resist the threats up to and including bom-ombs, squashing, fireballs, Yoshi tactical ingestion, cape spins, POW Blocks, super stars, bottomless pits, and recovered enemy munitions (Read subsection A11 regarding 'War is a Blue Shell')...normal sentient being warfare restrictions on enemy combatants are temporarily suspended-heyo!-but the military chain of command stays intact, and can in fact override any decisions made by the council for the duration of the emergency...sounds sort of absolute, doesn't it...I think Toadsworth is now in charge of the castle, anyway...

I believe this means we've technically been drafted as emergency Militia for the duration of emergency and had our scope of operations widely increased-they don't even have to pay us anymore, what? ...I can't tell if Mario and Luigi are considered generals, special forces soldiers or 'Heroes' (a legally undefined term) but it also says-again I quote-'Let Mario and Luigi handle everything. Just stand somewhere in the back and cheer.'

And, if they happen to fail...it says we should um...follow our hearts? There's nothing after that! It doesn't say anything on the status of the castle...or the Princess...

What sort of Goomba wrote this?"

Ochita pulls out a large leatherbound tome, arms straining to keep it held up, before opening it to a choice bookmark, of which there are several.

(http://i.imgur.com/SrRDeq1.png): "Well, I think in this case it skips the 7 towns clause, and instead moves directly to us using 'any means nessisary to aid the hero's, including use of but not limited to: Blue shells, Green shells, Red shells, Pow blocks, blah blah blah, any kind of sports gear (Tennis preferred), Star sprites, prettyyy much everything on your list. Military chain of command is in effect and any guards or other military units who "Feel the need to be a patriotic hero and save peach" do so on paid vacation. Ouch.

It also slightly goes into heroes as A: A person or persons who usually has some kind of unique talent or other force that compels them to save whoever is in distress, usually pretty well known.

Bethany floated over to Ochita, dragging the paper with her.

(http://i.imgur.com/Xam8A6P.png) "I suppose 'in absence of' regarding the Princess is a fairly superfluous term...also, the year 1985 is classified actual universal time...a complicated way of determining time zones across, all the um 'alternate whatwheres and outheres', whatever those are...also, I think my contract was roughly translated from Sarasese, which may explain the errors.

Mine does say castle ownership is legally defined as 50% exterior and interior direction and a clearly visible battleflag flying full mast, which if removed is considered a surprise Coup Da Tat with optional Fireworks....King Bowser though, seems to have also won a ruling regarding the importing of hot lava and quartering of immigrant podobos a few years ago due to a workplace accident involving a bridge...which will all probably make it easier for him to control the castle..."

Oh and yes, Sarasese is somewhat of a finicky language to translate. Still, moving on to the main point, my own book seems to agree with this, although interior decoration needs to always have the feeling of being slapped onto the original scheme, ready to be removed at a moments time, although this only applys to villains taking control of otherwise known as good aligned castles, like ours.

Hmm, yes the flag is pretty well definied in my book, although fireworks are only acceptable on a date ending with.. 1, 3, or 6. I believe this was a point from one of the old kingdom treaties, after that minor skirmish ending in fireworks at about... ooooh... 875AF? A long time ago at any rate. And yes, lava importation, and podobo migration.. Yes, we could try using an old kingdom clause, that all lava importation must be processed and held for 2 days until its been shown to apply to regulations.. That being that its lava?" Ochita scratched the side of her head in confusion.

(http://i.imgur.com/SrRDeq1.png): "Regardless, its not bowsers castle until hes imported the magma, and the podobos, and given it a 'make-over' both on the interior, and the exterior.

Teressa was somewhat astounded by her companions, this was a time for ACTION, not legal discussions and debates! To her mind, things were both plain and simple: Her path was clear, her will was strong and her sword was sharp and ready. In reply to the infamous criminal, she replied by opening with a guards(wo)man classic:

(http://i.imgur.com/ZWjrmPK.png)"STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!!! You are under arrest, under the fllowing charges: Kidnapping, accessory to murder, assault, vandalism, disturbing the peace, theft, terrorism, resisting arrest and more in addition to crimes agains the crown and the kingdom! Surrender or we shall use force and decrease whatever mercy we have left for you!" As soon as she was done with her official statement, she promptly looked over at her two debating team members.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZWjrmPK.png)"You're both wrong. This has become a military matter and as such comes under wartime law, which states that a building, city or place of importance only falls under the ownership of an opposing force if said attacking force completely captures and eliminates or imprisons the previous owners of said property, and if not than it is in a contested state with ownership leaning towards the previous owners. Since we are still free and fighting, the castle is still in the ownership of the princess, which falls to the next in command if she should become indisposed. Which means the commander is currently the owner of the castle, pending the return of the princess."

Teressa proudly turns back to face bowser after this with a smug smile on her face and raises her sword.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZWjrmPK.png)"So there! You never owned the castle in the first place, and still don't! As for what we're going to do to you, well, that's up for the courts to decide but if I have a choice, it will be stuffing you like a trophy or mounting your head over a fireplace or failing that, making your privates into a purse so I can hit you over the head with it, you overgrown lizard!"

(http://i.imgur.com/gcnx2AG.png): "Oh, I think I may settle this."

Toadsworth nods toward Ochita and Boothany. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a large scroll that could not possibly fit in there - or anywhere, for that matter, given his stature. He tips his spectacles and rolls it out in front of the group.

(http://i.imgur.com/gcnx2AG.png): "Here we go, lads. The Extra-military Provisionary Treatise for Proper Handling of Independent Nations (Excepting Head-stomping). Originally drafted in 987 A.F. during the second Mario Kart Grand Prix, just before Mario raced Bowser at Yoshi Falls."

(http://i.imgur.com/ZZFjEBn.png): "Oh, good times. I still remember that funny blonde-haired guy giving us the middle glove compartment right before I sent him sailing off the side. Don't ya get nostalgic for those days once in a while, Mario?"

(http://i.imgur.com/ls4JOjc.png): "Wah-hoo!"

(http://i.imgur.com/gcnx2AG.png): "The Treatise sets terms such that, in an ambiguous political situation involving independent nations coughkoopakingdomcough, wartime alterations to legal subsidiaries will be frozen like a Freezy so as to, quote unquote, 'keep those jerkface meanies in Rogueport outta here.' Instead, chain of command will temporarily restructure dependent on which figures are most likely to be present in the castle at any given time. This sets the succession as follows:

Princess Peach Toadstool
Commander Glendale Toadsworth-"

(http://i.imgur.com/ZZFjEBn.png): "Your name is Glendale? GWAHAHAHAHAH!"

(http://i.imgur.com/gcnx2AG.png): "Pardon, King, but I find that very rude! It was my uncle's name, passed on to me when they first found me as a wee sprout in the Royal Garden."

(http://i.imgur.com/ZZFjEBn.png): "Oh, no. If we get into Toad reproduction again-"

(http://i.imgur.com/gcnx2AG.png): "-ANYWAY, the list goes on for some time. Er, Luigi, I'm sorry to say you seem to be several spots below Mario on here. Between you, we have Military Technodeveloper E. Gadd and - Tayce. T, the Royal Chef!? Er, perhaps this treatise might not be fully appropriate for the situation at hand. I must have signed in a drunken stupor after a wild night at the Pink Piranha Plant."

Toadsworth backs up and the Mario Brothers raise their fists.

(http://i.imgur.com/gcnx2AG.png): "I agree with Teressa, anyway. This is a wartime scenario, and it should be handled properly. So, er, everyone stand and cheer as Mario and Luigi do their thing."

(http://i.imgur.com/bDK1HRg.png)

Mario and Luigi run up to Bowser and start pummeling him with their usual fist-stomps, woo-hoos and wah-hahs. The King himself merely frowns and raised his palm to cover his face. Inezach slowly sneaks up around where Mario was as Teressa slings threats at the King.

The plumber-in-red jumps back and charges up a fireball. The flame grows stronger and stronger as he focuses, but Bowser does nothing to interfere, merely closing his eyes and moving his mouth in silence. Just as Mario prepares to throw the flame, however, something historical takes place.

(http://i.imgur.com/ls4JOjc.png): "So-long, a-Bowser!"

(http://i.imgur.com/ZZFjEBn.png): "Not so fast."

(http://i.imgur.com/ZZFjEBn.png): "Power of the Shimmering Star: Starburst!"

(http://i.imgur.com/2GgS1Zv.png): "Wa-wa-wa!"

A great, shimmering rainbow star materializes above Bowser, and the entire Royal Guard is knocked back as they watch a flash of light spread out from Bowser's position at breakneck speed, throwing Mario and Luigi off the castle roof and into the night sky below. Toadsworth is speechless.

Bowser looks at the Royal Guard and makes a "come" gesture with his hand.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZZFjEBn.png): "Trash the treaties, the scribes, the wartime and peacetime. I'm feeling charitable today. You pipsqueaks just witnessed the legendary, manly potential of the Power Star that crashed here headfirst minutes ago. It's just like I read in the Prophecy Times during breakfast yesterday morning: a being so full of magic that past kingdoms, ones before our time, wasted millions of lives just for a glimpse of its fiery Star Power."

He laughs. It's the single most sinister laugh some of the Guard have ever heard.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZZFjEBn.png): "GWAAAAAAAAAH-HAH-HAH-HAAAAAH! Here's your choice: join me in the construction and reign of New Koopa Kingdom and I'll make you all my top military commanders. Except 'Worth, of course. He'll be my top janitor. If you refuse, well, uh. I haven't really tested this with my fire breath, but I'm sure it's even flamier now. Fierier. Fire-er."

Vilhelmas looks Bowser straight in the eye, and speaks in a voice practically devoid of interest, for most of his short speech anyway.
(http://i.imgur.com/zqtfEYD.png) "Well, the choices are become one of your generals until your ill-ruled regime eventually falls, leaving us finally free from our terrible guilt, or in my case die young in any case. Or we can gang up on you right here and now. For I'm not intimidated by your fire breath."
He pulls his right hand finally out of his pocket here, revealing that it's covered in burn scars, up to and possibly past the fore-arm, though his sleeve ends at lower wrist. He puts this hand on his mace.
"I've had experience with fire. It doesn't scare me. ...And since I'm doomed to live a short and meaningless life anyway, you know, I'd rather die without horrible guilt pestering me for every minute."

Ochita gasps when she see's the entirely burnt arm, and winces by a bit. She does however violently shake her head, and shouts at Vil

(http://i.imgur.com/SrRDeq1.png): "Don't be a fool! There's always another choice, and thats to flee, even though as shaming as it might be!"

Vilhelmas looks at Ochita briefly, still not exactly ringing with passion.
(http://i.imgur.com/zqtfEYD.png) "It's less the shame, really, and more the fact that I'm flame-attuned- I'm doomed to live a short and meaningless life anyway. And you know, why bother trying to save a few extra years? It's not like it'll matter to the whole scheme of things anyway."

(http://i.imgur.com/PZs1Abf.png)"Ochita's right. Don't throw those few years away while you still have them to lose. We'll take the castle back another day."

If Bowser makes a hostile move, Inezach grabs Toadsworth and books it down the stairs. (assuming that's possible... out-of-combat actions being temporally wonky and all)

(http://i.imgur.com/SrRDeq1.png): "I know of the issues that being flame attuned are, but if you just give up, then You really will mean Nothing To The Scheme Of The World!" At this point, Ochita is shouting, anger in her voice.

Luckily, Bethany Boo was already a coward by nature-so it's not like she was surprising anyone by then screaming and floating out the door, tugging at Ochita to make her go faster.

I mean, Bowser had just defeated Mario and Luigi!

And offered them jobs-likely at vastly reduced wages and fringe benefits! OH NO.

Was it time to panic? 

(http://i.imgur.com/Xam8A6P.png) "...This is the perfect time to panic! Lets fly...er, run Ochi! Bowser is really mean when he's got the type advantage. Like...300% meaner than usual! Which is REALLY, REALLY MEAN!

Teressa, instead of being scared, was instead quite furious. She never really wanted to rely on two plumbers, of all things, to fix the kingdom's problems all the time. That was just the policy that came with being part of the guard and with living in the kingdom, and it irked her to no end, especially when said plumbers were ultimately useless.

But what REALLY made her mad, was that she was currently torn 3 ways between glory, profit and duty. The merc in her blood told her that this was a possibly great offer, but the hero and trained guard parts of her crushed it away quickly, and in the indecision she reverted back to doing the most important thing to do right now... Her job.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZWjrmPK.png)"As much as I would like to stay and tear the oversized luggage over there a new one, we must get the commander to safety!"

As she promtly scooped the commander under an arm and quickly dragged him away with Zach, she muttered quietly to her superior.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZWjrmPK.png)"Sir, I think that it's about time to seriously reconsider kingdom policy about these kind of events. Things are going to have to change."

The group decides on a tactical retreat. Inezach and Teressa help carry Toadsworth as they bolt down the stairs. Bowser, with the Shimmering Star still hovering over his head, merely crosses his arms and chuckles.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZZFjEBn.png): "GWAH-HAH-HAH! Hairbrained pipsqueaks. Did you think I was joking when I said this castle was mine?"

Bowser looks off behind the castle and shouts.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZZFjEBn.png): "KAMEK! We're ready. Get it up, will ya?"

(http://i.imgur.com/sj5WogC.png)

Back in the main hall of the castle, Toadsworth comes to. The rest of the Guard continues toward the next flight of stairs.

(http://i.imgur.com/gcnx2AG.png): "The... the princess..."

The floor under the Royal Guards begins to rumble, and they stop in their tracks for a moment, thrown off balance. Glass breaks, tables slide and dishware falls to the floor, making an overwhelming clattering noise. The sky outside also begins to look a little... darker.

(http://i.imgur.com/gcnx2AG.png): "My heavens, what's going on?"

(http://i.imgur.com/Yz5IH4e.png)

The rumbling continued as the group notices the grassy evening hills visible below the castle starting to fade. Slowly but surely, they were rising into the air. Somehow, Bowser was lifting the castle into the sky!

(http://i.imgur.com/gcnx2AG.png): "Oh, no no no! He's stealing the WHOLE CASTLE! Er, everyone, quickly, think of a plan. Hm-hm-hm."

Toadsworth puts his hand to his chin.

(http://i.imgur.com/gcnx2AG.png): "OH! There are cannons on the floor below. Normally they're stocked with Bullet Bills, but we might be able to launch ourselves elsewhere before the castle's risen too high to safely escape. Now, I know that's a long shot - no pun intended - so if anyone else has a better idea, I'm willing to hear it."

Teressa sighs in frustration as something occurs to her.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZWjrmPK.png)"This is presuming we have enough ammunition and firepower to actually do enough... Sir, do you think we have enough firepower to cripple the airship?"

Toadsworth thought for a moment.

(http://i.imgur.com/gcnx2AG.png): "I suppose that, if you wanted to cripple the airship, I could try to launch you up toward it from one of the back windows. But that just sounds so dangerous and ill-advised. Who knows what kind of reinforcements the Koopa King has on board?"

Teressa threw up her hands in disgust before shaking her head.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZWjrmPK.png)"That leaves us with no choice but to retreat and prepare a counter attack, which means getting you to safety is our primary concern. Do we have any safe houses that we can hole up in to keep you safe and think things through sir?"

(http://i.imgur.com/gcnx2AG.png): "Safehouses in the castle? Yes yes. But it depends on how soon the Koopa Troop breaches the main levels and starts searching for perfume and underwear and survivors. On land, of course, there's many places we could hide and regroup. There's still one little issue, though: if we launch ourselves out of cannons from a mile in the sky without a direct line of sight - like we'd be doing now - there's no telling where we'd land. However, I fully expect to crash land somewhere entirely suitable for the beginning of an adventurous journey. Perhaps the outskirts of a forested village, maybe?"

Teressa deadpanned at her commander's statement, not liking the idea of an adventure at all when they needed to come up with a way to save the princess without those stupid plumbers. Shooting off randomly into the night did not sound like an appealing idea.

@Inezach:

The info box makes a quick static-y sound before a prerecorded voice starts speaking.

"Hello, and welcome to Miracle Meadows: "where Miracles are made!"  If you're hearing this, you're probably coming from the Boggly Bog. Please be aware the Fuzzy concentration in Miracle Meadows is out of control despite our best attempts to stifle it. Directions:

Pink Petal Village - Southwest
Boggly Bog - Northeast

Have a great day!

Inezach shakes his head a few times, and then slowly stands up again, this time without stumbling.

As the swirly images faded from Boothanys eyes, she looked around, glad everyone was still in mostly one piece and not in smithereens, especially Ochi-who seemed remarkably springy and unhurt. That wouldn't have been very good start to the adventure, being blown to bits before the title screen even came up, nope not at all..

(http://i.imgur.com/SrRDeq1.png): "Heh.. S..Still alive then huh...."

(http://i.imgur.com/Xam8A6P.png) "In a manner of speaking." Boothany says with a small smile and a high pitched giggle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eZVS7Q3aRg)

Boothany was calmer now that her fears were momentarily surceased. She had shot herself out of a cannon, after all...and lived to freak out about it! What other Boo could say that? She felt her slow kindled courage returning-and while she not quite possess a spine of steel, she did keep her non-existent chin up, allowing a bit of pride at her (admittedly minor) accomplishments to be felt. Which was all generally considered unboolike behavior, but she had a strong role model...

Which is to say, she was still afraid of everything, but that fear did not move her to inaction. An important difference.

Vilhelmas groans as he peels himself off of the ground, slightly swaying from getting up far too quickly, but then regaining his composure. He looked around at the environment he was now in.

Ochi nodded at Boothany's statement, with a small smile on her face.

(http://i.imgur.com/SrRDeq1.png): "Heh, well, we're all alive in a manner of speaking." She stops when she notices Vilhelm getting up.

(http://i.imgur.com/SrRDeq1.png): "Well, from the sounds of things.. Some place near 'pink petal village.' According to Zach here." Ochi then shrugs, and slowly gets herself up, brushing down her robe as she does so.

Inezach puts the mushroom in his... pocket... or whatever.

(http://i.imgur.com/PZs1Abf.png) "Handy. So, is everyone okay? Does anybody need help moving? Or should we just start going?" He surveys his apparently shocked companions dimly, and sighs. "Come on, guys, we're the Royal Guard. We need to make a plan and get moving quickly, before Bowser figures out where we are and sends his lackeys after us or... or does something weird and terrible with the castle. Or with Peach." He visibly twitches.

After some groaning, Teressa manages to open her eyes and slowly sit up. Thankfully, despite getting hit with an overpowered spell and getting shot out of a cannon, she felt fine. Which is to say, very unhappy with the situation.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZWjrmPK.png)"I agree, we need to get a move on and figure out where we are in the kingdom, then come up with a plan to save the princess. Again. The good news is that Bowser typically takes his sweet time before doing anything really bad, so we should have enough time to prepare, find allies and think of a plan.

Let's head to that village, we can figure out stuff there. Maybe we can get directions to the nearest city, and from there we could notify the army or something."

Lead the group towards the village.

We have very sensitive constitutions, but we can't discern specific tastes very much-so we prefer things a bit stronger than normal, some of us anyway. I...like spicy food, the spicier the better! Makes me feel like a Fireboo."

Boothany wasn't sure why she was confessing everything that came to her mind to Ochita, exactly, but she was sure she would wave her away soon enough for being annoying. They all did!

Ochita responded back with a smile. "To be honest, I think I have a soft spot for fire flower & soup, just a small specialty dish over near the capital, it was one of the things that I kinda remember most from my childhood."

Ochi sighed somewhat happily, before coughing slightly. She hoped she hadn't rambled on and on.

Boothany tapped her (as mentioned) non-existent chin.

I like Deluxe Volcano Shrooms the best. I got the recipe right here...made it myself...what, I can cook! Just no one has asked..." She says, checking her hammerspace and pulling out a long list...

Quote from: Volcano Shroom Recipe

1xLarge purple shroom, hollowed
1xCheeseland Mouser Deluxe Chedda chunk (ideally mined close to the moons core)
2xCans Extra-strength Shroom Sauce
1xSurly Onion (mustache preferred)
4xfinely diced Rindo Berries

12xfreshly picked Goomnuts, finely chopped
1xwhole POW block chilled, massaged, encouraged and pre-digested by a Blaarg (hammer well before adding to dish)
4xBottles of Podobrand 'Angry Sun Face' superhotsuperhot hot sauce
1xVoidblackdark Dyamite Supernova Supreme Doompepper (infused with a mote of dark star power)
An ounce of extra-Fuzzy crazyflakes (for that extra trippy kick)
Salt, pepper and Fire Flower Powder to taste.

Boothany floated along placidly. She turned to Ochita, only half covering her face.

(http://i.imgur.com/Xam8A6P.png) "So Ochi, what did you do before you became a Water Witch...er Aqua-manacer? Were you always one or did you choose to be that?" She asked inquisitively.

Post by: Ochita on May 24, 2013, 08:11:04 pm

Ochita turns to look at boothany, and gives a smile.

(http://i.imgur.com/SrRDeq1.png): "Well, at first I guess I wanted to be a cook, my mother was a baker and one of the nicer things of my childhood is the sweet smell of bubble berry bread, mm." Ochi closes her eyes, and sighs, before continuing.

(http://i.imgur.com/SrRDeq1.png): "I think it was when I was 14, I saw a magic display, and there was display of using aquamancy to do some impressive feats. So I saved up, and I applied to a magi school, and took on aquamancy as a major subject, alongside with Healing as a minor subject. It always kinda seemed right to do so. I wasn't exactly top of the class material, but.. I think I've done well enough, to get into a role such as this one."
Ochita nods to herself over this, a smile on her face, before looking back at Boothany.
(http://i.imgur.com/SrRDeq1.png): "You know boothany, you mentioned that you worked for a captain of some sorts, how did you come to work out in the seas? As far as I knew, boo's don't really stray from where they're... Born?"

Boothany peeked out at Ochita, smiling behind her hands.

(http://i.imgur.com/Xam8A6P.png) "Yes, most of us Boos are too scared to leave our haunts....the world is big, and uh, s-s-s-scary...but I mean, I always wanted to see what was on the outside. I liked to read alot, back in the mansion library-about all the great heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom and their adventures. There was even once a Boo hero! He was a cutie...oh, that was quite enlightening to find out. I wanted to be like him, more than anything,

One day, one of my friends beat me to the punch, so to speak-and when I got my courage I tried to follow him and I sort of...got lost...I have a horrible sense of direction, truly...

I wandered out over the ocean for I don't know how long...it might have been one year...might have been alot longer. Next thing I remember, I was waking up in a Boo-net, being hauled up to the deck of a ship! A pretty lady captain had spotted me and ordered me brought on board. I think she thought I would make a good pet. This lady she sort of, eventually recruited me for to her crew of pira...er, private entrepreneurs. They made me galley chef, and uh, I helped them...find things people had dropped. You know, people drop things on the ocean all the time. You can make alot of coins just...picking it up for them. Or picking it up and selling it to other people..." Boothany comments nonchalantly.

After a long walk through the grassy meadows over a lengthy conversation about spicy food, the six heroes notice the petals on the ground growing progressively less yellow and more pink. In the distance, the trees thin as small wooden structures can be seen. Minutes later, they all arrive at the entrance to some kind of fenced-in village. A blue-petaled Crazee Dayzee jumps at the sight of them and skips through the main gate. She speaks in a very high-pitched, enthusiastic voice.

@Teressa:

The blue Dayzee curtsies and runs inside the gate. She then stops and looks at the group.

(http://i.imgur.com/zdFfoZm.png): "Oh! But... while I look around, you could come inside the village, too. Or not. Suit yourself, tee-hee."

@Inezach:

The info block makes a static-like sounds after being thwapped. Then voice, of course.

"Hello, and welcome to Pink Petal Village - 'the pinkest petals around!' If you're here from Miracle Meadows, please note the Fuzzy concentration is out of control, despite our attempts to stifle it.

If you're looking for the market, just head south.

@Tanky:

Nothing is to be found in the trees. However, Tanky does realize they would make an excellent hiding place.

The flowers don't seem to be sentient, luckily. The almost oppressively bright pinkness is likely an effect of the morning sun glistening off the dew-drops.

(http://i.imgur.com/Xam8A6P.png) "...but, If someone wanted my idea, I would say we look for Mario and Luigi first...I mean, they're pretty tough heroes, and got knocked out of the castle before we even took off. They might be okay...or captured...or just hiding...and if we found them, they could help us find the stars...then, they could beat up Bowser for us with their star power-while we stand back and cheer!"

Boothany liked the sound of that.

As for how to fight Bowser, I'm not sure even an army would be enough to really challenge him. I mean, he beat us and the Marios without even really trying. So we need to either use more Star power against him, or come up with something else that's just as powerful."

Teressa, upon hearing the talk of the Marios, suddenly stopped and slammed an armoured fist down on a post of a nearby fence.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZWjrmPK.png)"NO. NO we are NOT going to rely on those idiots again! The fact of the matter is that we, as a country and a government, rely FAR too much on two people and look where that has got us! That stupid policy of standing around and cheering those PLUMBERS, that's people who work on fixing pipes, and not warriors or guards or people who actually fight and protect others for a living, on in a fight against a threat to the kingdom is what caused this mess!

Look: Yes, I will honestly admit that they have helped out and even solved problems in the past, but the fact is that they are only TWO PLUMBERS! They cannot fix all our problems, they cannot be everywhere where they are needed, and they cannot be around forever either. We cannot rely on them, or stuff like what we are currently going through will just keep happening until the day comes that we can't fix it. Things. Must. Change. And they have to change soon."

She sighs and leans against the post with her head in her hands, taking a few deep breaths. She looks up at the others and, for a moment, her eyes show just how immensely tired and old she feels.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZWjrmPK.png)"I don't know how we are going to rescue the princess, but we are going to have to do it anyway, or at the very least try. I wish I had the answers, but I don't, so dwelling on it won't help matters. What we can do is just take things one step at a time, break our problems down into smaller and smaller bits and solve them one at a time instead of taking the whole thing on at once. Right now, we need to see if this council can help us, so lets focus on that and then we can come up with something new afterwards."

(http://i.imgur.com/Xam8A6P.png) "But, where do we even start to look for power stars?

From what I understand, there's almost always something like hundred and twenty of them in the world, very rare. Or was it one-hundred fifty one...

Anyway, they are scattered all around the lands-some so far underground, or so high in the ground you can't get them. Others only exists in certain times and certain places, never to appear exactly there again. Those tricky Stars all like to hide, so only something worthy can find them, I think. But the longer we search, the more powerful Bowsers forces become! And...he might find some extra stars himself!

Personally, I've only even seen one other star in my life-before Bowser, anyway. And that ones in the belly of a giant fish right now! Aside from getting ourselves eaten, how could we get that...?

...oh, I'm being terribly un-positive about our chances, aren't I?"

Before you complain about those two and repeat the fact that they are "plumbers" I don't need to remind you how many times they saved this place, and how most of the guards aren't able to do much besides fight Bowser's soldiers. So instead of calling those two "idiots" even if they had been around for more time than most of us AND helping people, I would tell you to THINK and look for a plan if you want to see some changes. We are supposed to be elite guards, not a bunch of wannabe heroes or complain about the others work, don't you think?"

The snifit shook himself in disapproval and crossed his arms.

Vilhelmas casually follows the others to the council.

(http://i.imgur.com/f0HWkQP.png)

The group takes a leisurely jaunt through the village. Crazee Dayzees hop, skip and run throughout the gentle afternoon breeze, slowing down and staring at the Royal Guard passing through. Smoke puffs out from the rooftop chimney on a dull grey house behind some trees. The group decides, as this is the southwestmost section of the village, the building must be the Council.

The house's door slowly creaks open as a grey-petaled Dayzee feels his way out onto the porch with a cane in hand. He stops after a few steps, turns to the group and addresses them. His voice is low and gritty.

(http://i.imgur.com/m3EENbJ.png): "Ohhhhhh."

The Dayzee takes a few more steps toward the end of his porch.

(http://i.imgur.com/m3EENbJ.png): "Don't see Hoo-mans around here much these days. Or boo-mans. Or- what in the name of Gaia are you, sonny?"

He pointed his cane at Tanky.

Action: Remember!

Boothany cast her memory's line into the seven seas of her past...

In was night time in the castle. Of course, it was always night time in the castle in a manner of speaking, but it was actually night time right then because the moon was up outside. Bethany Boo followed behind her adventurous friend, a little frightened by the blurry light at the end of the hall.

(http://i.imgur.com/1AiSMLr.png): "So you've never met the Big Boss before? Geez, Beth, are you just scared or something?"

The memory is faint, and Bethany has a hard time remembering their faces. It was so long ago, and she was young (by Boo standards).

(http://i.imgur.com/1AiSMLr.png): "You know, they say there's only ever a small number of Big Boos in the world. Small enough that they all have names. Big Boss, Boggly Boo, Atomic Boo- each of them owns a whole mansion or more. I don't really know where they come from, but if Boos work best as Comm-boone members, maybe Big Boos work best as Comm-boone leaders?"

"Hehahah!" His laugh stood out to her. It wasn't as playful as the rest of them. It was dangerous, reckless.

(http://i.imgur.com/1AiSMLr.png): "Why don't we take you to meet Big Boss?"

Bethany snapped out of it and noticed she'd been floating silently in the same spot for five minutes as the others discussed farms and sunken citadels.

Leaf E. points Inezach and the rest of the group south to a fortified wooden gate. Once there, the gate's guards nod and open it up, allowing them to pass onto a long, bridge-like land mass over the water. By now, the morning sun is rising high into the sky, and large groups of Goonies pass over the group far above, cawwing and flying in a V formation. Their cawws are drowned out by the rushing of water far below onto the rock cliff base currently holding up Pink Petal Village.

After an eight- or nine-minute hike across the natural bridge formation, the group comes to another series of wooden gates. However, these ones are unguarded. In fact, there doesn't seem to a be a single Crazee Dayzee out here. They slowly work their way through, avoiding splinters as they push each old log to the side. As the group approaches the farm, they see branches covered in pink petals blowing in the wind, casting shadows on the still-tilled fields below.

For a moment, all seems calm. However, Vilhelmas notices, from the back of the group, that one of the trees is rustling quite a bit more than the others. Before he even has a chance to speak, a black, fuzzy creature with crazy eyes drops out of the tree.

(http://i.imgur.com/FGrSoWt.png): "Whoa. Wuhoh. Meork! I said MEEEORK, guys! We got ourselves a problem!"

The fuzzy critter looks at the group - at least with one eye.

(http://i.imgur.com/FGrSoWt.png): "Who are you? Huh hm huh? Whaddaya want? This place is ours now. All ours. You can't have it. Nope nuh-uh sorry."

Ochita slowly reached into her pack, and slowly withdrew the book of various law stuffs.

(http://i.imgur.com/SrRDeq1.png): While we're not in the mushroom kingdom... I suppose this book is pretty worthless." And as such, Ochita quickly stuffed it back unto her inventory.

Turning back to face the googly eyed creature, she collected herself and took a deep breath before speaking out strongly in her best guard voice.

Yes, there are more if the players wish to seek them out.

Vilhelmas charges full speed ahead into battle and, with a running jump, brings his mace crashing down on Fuzzy G near the patch of honeydew trees. A spark is released from the velocity of the strike, and Fuzzy G goes "POP" into a pile of tiny black thorns on contact.

Inezach moves to (7,9) and uses a Yum! attack on FuzzA, punting it into the air and slurping it down his gullet with his long, sticky Yoshi-tongue.

Ochita moves closer to Fuzzy E, but not too close. Just as it looks up toward the purple-robed apprentice, a flying sphere of water sends it hurling into the sky.

Bethany floats south toward one of the gates. She attempts to keep it closed, but it's difficult overcoming the strength of three Fuzzies. Meanwhile, Tanky moves in the same spot to help out. He shoots a bullet out of his white, cannon-like mouth. The bullet flies vertically and lands on Fuzzy F. POP!

Seeing the strength of the heroes and the danger to their home, Fuzzy B, Fuzzy C, and Fuzzy D surround Teressa. As each one approaches to latch onto the poor girl with their prickly fangs, Teressa accumulates worse and worse wounds. When Fuzzy D clamps down on Teressa's arm, a great, bloody gash appears.

Meanwhile, the last black Fuzzy beyond the southern gate spins up to it and forces it open. The gate door phases through Bethany but pushes the much more material Tanky aside to 10,9. The southmost Green Fuzzy takes advantage of this opportunity, moving up toward Bethany and striking her with a flurry of green needles.

Even if you were solid gold, you wouldn't be worth your own weight!"
Vilhelmas turns calmly back to Boothany.

Vilhelmas' usual frown deepens, and he addresses a casual provocation at the fuzzies.
(http://i.imgur.com/zqtfEYD.png) "If you're going to team up on one of us, why not me?"
And then to cement this, he walks over to a fuzzy and swings his mace almost nonchalantly in a low sweep.
Move to 9, 9 and smack Fuzzy C

Vilhelmas casually struts over to Teressa and strikes Fuzzy C, knocking the little bugger into the air. Months later, after a hard day of work, a tired Dayzee would settle into her rocking chair just in time for a flaming ball of black fuzz to crash through her roofing and into the ground mere feet away. The Unidentified Falling Organism (UFO) would be an item of intense curiosity for years to come.

*splorp*
Inezach pockets the egg, then takes a quick re-assessment of the battlefield. His eyes widen slightly when he notices Teressa.

(http://i.imgur.com/PZs1Abf.png) "Teressa! Are you okay? Here, get behind me and Vil, you can use my mushroom to heal yourself. Left pocket!" Inezach moves to (10,10) and kicks FuzzD. "Everyone else, let's try to mop up these guys over here first so that we don't get swarmed by Goldie and his goons! We'll take them all out at once later!"

Quote from: Zako on June 11, 2013, 07:08:26 am

Teressa sees that she's in a hard place and that the enemy is closing in with reinforcements, and decides to bolster her allies with a rendition on a classic battlecry.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZWjrmPK.png)"BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL, WE WILL DEFEAT YOU!"

Battlecry, then move to 9, 10 and take and eat the shroom from Zach.

//TRADING IS A FREE ACTION BUT USING ITEMS IS NOT :I SORRY IF THAT WAS NOT MADE CLEAR ENOUGH.

Inezach moves over toward Teressa and kicks Fuzzy D into a fence post. Afterward, Teressa lets loose her Battle Cry unto the ears of her allies (except Ochita). Teressa moves through the new opening and stays safe behind Inezach. She grabs his Mushroom but doesn't eat it quite yet.

Tanky breathes in really hard then breathes a large bullet in the general direction of Green Fuzzy C. However, the bullet goes wide, instead hitting a nearby Honeydew Tree and leaving a hole in it.

Realizing that drawing out the Golden fuzzy, however unlikely, was a major benefit...Boothany decided it was the brave thing to do...even if she didn't survive...

Action: Move to FuzzB's spot once he is defeated and taunt Goldie to attack me!

Bethany, feeling empowered by Teressa's battle cry, floats over to Fuzzy H to slice and dice. This works far better than she initially thought it would. The remaining Fuzzy shreds are spread into the air and float gently down to the ground.

Ochita stepped back as the golden fuzzy fell from the trees, and then she saw the group and the state of teressa, before rushing over towards them and throwing a ball of water at the only one that hasn't been targeted yet.

It looks like all the black Fuzzies are cleared out by this point. The Green Fuzzy at the south makes a desperate tactical dash toward the north, meeting Goldie's gang in the middle. Because enemies in this game are not stupid.

Even after several minutes of hard searching, the group turns up nothing. Without the Dayzees to help grow the farm, it would probably have been only a matter of time until the trees started to wear away, too. One of the Green Fuzzies looks at Inezach.

Ochita looks towards where the traders were going to be. And so she decided to go take a look around town, enjoying some relaxation time after the battle at the farm. Pausing, she turned to Boothany.

Inezach and Teressa head north-northwest out of town. After a ten-minute jaunt, they find themselves on the edge of a much lighter section of Miracle Meadows. Black tree trunks without branches act as bases for large networks of pulsing white lights, as if these illuminated spheres wished to trick someone or other into believing they were leaves. Surrounding these trees, a faint grey mist wafts throughout the area. The mist curls and forms distinct shapes in places - in fact, if Teressa isn't mistaken, these shapes can be heard emitting the faintest of ghostly moans every once in a while.

Explore the town, stopping over at the shops.

Ochita heads over to the town market. Pink flowers give way to paper shreddings, discarded petals and other assorted garbage strewn across the ground as she approaches two large wooden shacks on the horizon. When she finally reaches the Pink Petal Village Market, she can make out the exact shape of the shacks: stalls with a counter on the bottom, merchandise in the back and large boards nailed to the top where customers can see. One stall has a board saying "Layzee's Flower Emporium," and the other says "S.G.S: Your source for ultimate power, hm hm!"

A Dayzee with drooping petals can be seen behind the counter of the Flower Emporium. It only takes Ochita a moment to realize she's sleeping. Behind the counter at S.G.S., however, a dark grey Shy Guy stands at attention. The Shy Guy seems to wear a perpetual disapproving stare on its mask, and its golden belt buckle - holding together its grey clothing - is shaped like a large golden coin. The Shy Guy notices Ochita staring and speaks up.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZvnlYOF.png): "WELCOME, CUSTOMER! I am your host, S.G. What does it stand for? DOESN'T MATTER! I assume you're here to barter, hm? Hm?"

Before Ochita even has a chance to speak, the Guy starts introducing his wares.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZvnlYOF.png): "Let me tell you how S.G.S. works. I do not deal in money - NOT VALUABLE! Instead, items exchanged for S. POINTS! Mundane items, 1-3 Points. Magicky or rare items, who knows? S. Points exchanged for valuable wares. Any questions? Hm?"

The other shopkeeper continues snoring through all this.

Boothany swung her hammer around hesitantly-after a short time, the weapon turned hazy and ghostlike, much like her swords. Though it seemed no less heavy, and her entire body usually rotated and spun with the momentum.

Quote from: Wooden Smasher

While it was inferior to her usual weapons, it certainly would help against fuzzies!

Layzee exchanges Teressa's coin for another Smasher. It feels heavy in her hands, even if it is wood.

Teressa also notices something glowing in her pocket. As it turns out, the Magic Map updated itself when she visited the edge of the Boggly Bog with Inezach. New areas appear on the map. Oddly, one of the areas remains unnamed.

Inezach looks slightly disappointed upon hearing that his hard-made egg is worth only one point.

(http://i.imgur.com/PZs1Abf.png) "Another day then, when I have more available to trade." Inezach turns to his friends. "I think Grump E. was saying the Boggly Blockhouse should have supplies we can use? North is pretty much the only direction we can go anyway, and if we can deal with the Boggly Boo and the fuzzies, we'd be doing the locals a huge favor, and that could come back to help us in the long run." He puts a finger to his chin briefly, and stares at the map again. "Also, I'm not confident we'll be able to ford the river easily. To continue past what we can see here, we'll probably have to go through that cave to the east, right? Dayzees don't seem the spelunking type, but we might be able to pick up some information on the surrounding areas from the Blockhouse, since it used to be a Mushroom Embassy."

Ochita paused for a moment, and then off-handedly added

"Plus, isn't keeping towns safe and the like things that guards do? I think its the right thing to do, in any case.."

Then she turned to Ochita.

You're stronger than you think, and you're not gonna be alone, because I'll also protect you." Ochita squeezed tightly, then let go and took a step back, before adressing the entire group.

(http://i.imgur.com/SrRDeq1.png): "We all joined the royal guard for our reasons, but for now none of that matters. We're the Royal Guard, and it is our duty to help those who we come across, pay or no pay. We all agreed to that when we signed up. We're the ones right now who can help the Dayzees, and I think we should." After that, Ochita looked to the side, cheeks tinged red in embarassment.

And yes, we're going to the blockhouse, but first, I want to talk to Grum P. about this unknown region of the map. Maybe he knows something?"

(http://i.imgur.com/ZWjrmPK.png)"I like how you think Ochita. We are the guard, so we have to make an example of ourselves to the people, since they look up to us as role models. I know I did when I was young, after all.

And yes, we're going to the blockhouse, but first, I want to talk to Grum P. about this unknown region of the map. Maybe he knows something?"

Go talk to Grum P. about the unnamed part of the map and see if he knows anything. Then head onward to the blockhouse!

Teressa visits Grum P. one more time as the rest of the team plots out their mission plan. The village elder barely makes his way out of the Council (which seems to just be the name he gives his house). His grey petals perk up.

(http://i.imgur.com/m3EENbJ.png): "Glad to see you dealt with the Fuzzies, finally."

Teressa asks him about the new sections on the map. He bends down to see more clearly.

(http://i.imgur.com/m3EENbJ.png): "Mmm. That cave's creatures are very dangerous. It leads around the river, but there's entrances to the underground tunnel system the different Kingdoms used to use to send spies. I don't think it's much used anymore. At least, not around here."

After tentative good-byes are exchanged, the armored girl heads back to the main group. It looks like they've decided on the Boggly Blockhouse. It's going to be a little bit of a trek, so they set off immediately.

~One appropriate scene change later...~

As soon as the group sets foot in the Boggly Bog, the thick mist blurs their vision. Inezach steps in something sticky and notices it's a pool of gooey green liquid. Due to the coloring of the Bog's grass, it's difficult to tell the ground from a pool of dirty goop, so the group uses extra caution in case the goop is actually quicksand-esque quickgoop. It wouldn't be the craziest thing they'd seen today.

With every step, the fog seems to pulse in and out, distinct shapes and haunting moans filling the Royal Guard's eyes and ears. Every once in a while, one of them sees a Fuzzy or a Boo shape in one of the pitch-black, lit-up trees, but when they point and turn, nothing is there. Still, the feeling of being watched is ever-present.

Merely relying on the Magic Map and their own intuition, they finally make out a very large, grey building in the distance. The Boggly Bog's mist seems to wrap around the building and, as they approach it, the thick cover of blackened trees thins out. Boothany and Tanky, taking advantage of their small statures, approach the Blockhouse discretely. They see something near the front of it.

(http://i.imgur.com/kQBZe3w.png)

The Green Fuzzy warned them, but they are still surprised by what they see: a huge, huge, HUGE mass of writhing, jumping, yelling Fuzzies guards the entrance to the Boggly Blockhouse, each piled up on another until it is impossible to track a single critter by eye alone. As a sort of cosmic joke - the kind Lady Fate likes to pull - the Mushroom Kingdom flag, though torn, still blows in the faint evening breeze atop the keep. Great, NOW how are they going to get into the old Embassy?

Boothany silently floated back to the group, sharing the news.

Um...I'm pretty sure I could fly over the fuzzies and look for a different way, maybe on the roof. I can sneak in places...maybe find some help. Or talk to Boogly. He's still got the mushroom kingdom flag up there, which is a good sign right?"

Action: Boothany, taking heart, decides to scout all around the blockhouse looking for an alternate route in-perhaps a boo only route? She keeps in the mists, away from the ground and trees attempting boo-stealth. If any Fuzzies spot her and give chase, well, she's alot faster than them and has the unrelenting endurance of the undead.

Boothany floats up into the evening sky, away from the reach of any stray jumping Fuzzies. Even from a short distance, she can tell there aren't any additional entrances on the front of the castle, so that's a no-go. The swashbuckling boo girl floats up around the side of the Blockhouse, hugging the wall as she goes. The old stone it's built with is awfully cold to the touch.

She makes her way around the side of the Blockhouse. It's a lot larger than it looks from where the rest of the team is still standing. No secret exits, no special Boo doors. A little disappointed, she then flies over to the very back of the Blockhouse. It looks to be about the same at first, but Bethany spies something: a little glass window, just big enough for a largeish Boo or smallish Human to fit in, is embedded in the back of the Blockhouse about twenty feet off the ground.

Boothany prepares to either peer in or go get her teammates or some similar thing when the door/window flies open. Only the deep blackness of a haunted house can be seen inside. She hears a voice.

"Just like old times."

Unfortunately, the voice might as well be disembodied. She can't figure out where it came from.

Against her better judgement, Boothany decided to go for it. She mentally psyched herself up with the fact that it was probably much more dangerous outside than inside.

And, did that voice sound familiar?

(http://i.imgur.com/vnp49iB.png)

Boothany heads through the now-open glassy entrance and finds herself in a large, dusty green room. Interestingly, the mist does not enter along with her. The only thing clouding her vision is the darkness of the Blockhouse.

Decaying war tools - a dead fire flower here, a broken spear there - litter the floor here. On one side of the room, she sees a large ladder leading down to a lower floor. Interestingly, the ladder itself is in good shape. On the opposite side of the room, she notices her childhood friend bathing in scant torchlight despite his ghostly nature. The same one whose quest inspired her to take up her own.

He folds his stubby Boo arms.

Booiley laughs. It's actually a lot like Boothany's own signature laugh, but a little deeper and less Boo-y.

(http://i.imgur.com/hU6vMtq.png): "You mean you don't know? Where have you been today?"

He points upward. Presumably, he's pointing to the sky, but they only have the ceiling above them.

(http://i.imgur.com/hU6vMtq.png): "The entire continent's in an arms race. I'm hearing things from my friends: vast fleets of foreign skyships called in, Bullet Bills merely ricocheting off the barrier around King Bowser's air fortress. The Mushroom Kingdom has no idea how to deal with this."

Booiley floats toward the stairs.

(http://i.imgur.com/hU6vMtq.png): "See, that's where people like you and I come in, Beth. I caught word the Boggly Boo has been trying to find some kind of incredibly powerful weapon around here. Maybe even something powerful enough to help. Bring your friends if you want, but I gotta hunt this lead."

With that, the boo boy disappears down the dark staircase, leaving Bethany on her own. Again...

Post by: Dwarmin on June 19, 2013, 01:29:56 pm

Bethany Boo didn't know what to do this about predicament, so she almost floated back through the window...

Of course, she wasn't exactly sure how to get the rest of them inside still...though she had an idea...

Something drew her eyes Northward, though. That wall looked off. And she had bombs now. Working bombs.

She smiled in a sinister (for her) fashion, drawing a small white spherical explosive that looked like a miniature Boothany, complete with a painted face-a smile and tiny fangs.

Action: Throw a boo-bomb at that cracked wall to the North! ((lol))

Inezach fumes quietly for a moment, mumbling incoherently. "Doesn't this fort have a secret entrance and exit? All forts have to have a secret entrance, for the princess to escape siege or for a ragtag bunch of heroes to sneak in and reclaim the place. Or whatever." Inezach surveys the surrounding countryside slowly, looking for any suspicious outcroppings of rocks or lone copses of trees or "supply sheds" that could hide a secret entrance.

Bethany takes a Boo-bomb out of her inventory, takes aim toward the cracked section of the wall and lobs it with all her strength. There's a ghostly "...sSSSSss..." as the bomb's wick tears itself down to the base of the device. Bethany, with her stubbly arms over her eyes, waits for the bomb to explode. After a minute, though, it's clear nothing is going to happen.

...

Nope, it's a dud.

...

She takes her hands off her eyes, floats very slowly toward the boBOOO-OOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The bomb finally explodes, blowing a ghastly hole in the side of the Blockhouse. Bethany sees the night sky through it.

Vilhelmas goes around and looks for any sections of wall weak or damaged enough for him to beat in with his mace.

Vilhelmas gathers a group and, avoiding the gaze of the Fuzzies, heads around to the side of the building that Bethany did not check (the east side). Unfortunately, all he and the others can see in the darkness is torn Mushroom Kingdom banners hanging and flapping in the wind on the outer wall.

Ochita and Teressa, looking for chipped sections of the wall or other things that might help, notice a small crack about fifteen or so feet up the side. It almost looks like it could be blown apart. If only they had something to do that with...

However, just as they're thinking about this, the cracked section of the wall EXPLODES, showering the group centuries-old dust and gravel.

Boothany knew that in Doctrine 4.G of Mushroom Kingdom Flag laws, such poorly upkept castle banners should be destroyed rather than allow to fly in disrepair. So she saw nothing wrong about tearing them up and using them as rope!

Boothany doesn't see any MK banners on the other sides of the Blockhouse, so she collects the ones along the nearest wall while her teammates below watch her. Before long, Boothany herself becomes invisible to those below. Only a floating, bobbing mass of torn, dirty red cloth, held up in some sort of ball near the top, can be seen.

She floats back to the broken section of wall and starts tying the banners together into rope. A handy skill one learns from years of swashbuckling. After a few minutes of waiting, she throws one end of the reddish rope down to Vilhelmas and her other friends. It hits the ground with a light "whap" and a little bit of slack. Success!

Vilhelmas grabs hold of the rope and tests its strength. When he puts both his feet on the wall, though, Bethany realizes something: she didn't find anything super-strong to secure it to, and she's still holding the rope up manually! After the first couple of steps, Bethany is pulled forward out of the new hole in the wall and onto the ground along with Vilhelmas and the rope.

Otherwise, Boothany starts by lifting up the lightest member of the group with the rope (Tanky) then both of them help lift the second heaviest (Inezach) and then all three of them help up the next one blah blah, etc, etc.

Boothany grabs one end of the banner-rope and, once again, flies up to the hole in the wall. Unfortunately, there isn't much to tie the rope around above: one of the lanterns was blown onto the ground during her boo bomb explosion, and the wall behind the other lantern looks dangerously loose. Instead, she flies back down toward Tanky.

Tanky proves to be remarkably difficult to lift (there's really no telling what's inside a snifit's robe). Boothany summons up all her swashbuckling strength, though, and with a little help from the others during liftoff, manages to slowly fly Tanky up the side of the Blockhouse. When she reaches the room with the broken wall, she drops him, exhausted.

After a moment's rest, it's back to work. Both Tanky and Boothany grab the far end of the rope, and Inezach grabs it. The purple dino easily runs up the side of the wall with his spiked Yoshi boots, taking hold of the far end of the rope once he reaches Boothany and Tanky.

For the Humans, it's a little trickier. Even with the help of Tanky, Beth and 'Zach above, each one of them still weighs significantly more than the small creatures. Ochita, being a magi and thus the lightest, takes hold of the rope first. Step by step, she climbs up the side of the wall. Only a few glimmers of the sun can be seen in the sky by this point, and they will all be soon consumed by darkness.

Once Ochita reaches the top, getting Vilhelmas and Teressa up is a lot easier. Finally, the six of them, still slightly coating with dust and rubble, are ready to take on whatever awaits them in the Blockhouse.

They hear an eerie moan from below the sturdy-looking stairs.

(http://i.imgur.com/SrRDeq1.png): "Ah, I'm not that used to climbing ropes, but well we're all here now."

Ochita glanced at all of the stuff in the room, and sighed. "I guess we're not gonna get anything cool over here." Although, as she looked over the discarded weaponry, she got a little idea.

Take that metal shaft, and that hammerhead, to make SPEARHAMMER.

Flimsy Hammer   Crush   1       2       -5      -20
        Will break after one use.She decided to not use it. Mainly because while it was pretty bad, maybe it can be smelted down to provide a not horrible weapon at some town, hopefully. After noticing Inezach starting to move towards the stairs she spoke up.

Boothany follows Teresa after recovering her rope and slinging it into hammerspace. After a moment, she plugs the torch from the wall as well, asking for help if needed. It could be useful.

Then, she moves forward one nub hand over her eyes, one hand holding onto Ochita's robe.

...

She happened to mention...

(http://i.imgur.com/xY7BDHQ.png) "Oh, Ochi! There's another Boo here, one of my old friends. His name is Bailey Boo, and he wears an orange hat...uh, he looks scary, but he's not mean. I mean, he's really brave and that's why I became an adventurer like him. I mean he's not nice either but, uh...he's like Teresa sort of...scary, not nice, but not mean-at least, not to everyone...

...

...He said he's looking for a weapon that Boggly was rumored to be searching for-a really powerful weapon, that could help the Kingdom...he also said that a big fleet of ships had tried to attack Bowsers fortress but they um, f-f-f-failed...and we're going to need to look for it two, I guess..."

Action: Follow Teresa downstairs. Also, roll up and take my rope from outside.

Edit: Also take that dangerously loose lantern from the wall. FFS, you tricky dog.

Ochita nodded at Bethany.

(http://i.imgur.com/SrRDeq1.png): "He's gruff? Well, whatever he is, it would be nice to see him once we're though with this, he sounds like a nice person. And I see.. Sounds like things are getting dire, if we can't even penetrate the fortress. I hope that we can defeat whatever star power he has, and I hope that whatever we're searching for will help."
Ochi nods again, and pats Boothany on the head.

Follow Teressa with Boothany at my side.

Inezach peeks through the western "door," but all he can see is the night sky. He also tries to identify the items on the ground. It looks like they're just old, rusted weapon parts, plants and other useless things.

Boothany grabs the ever-burning lantern on the wall as well as the rope she used earlier. Neither of them have any discernibly combat-usable effects, but who knows when they'll come in handy later?

DUNGEON ONE:
THE BOGGLY BLOCKHOUSE

(http://i.imgur.com/XHdSOIw.png)

With Boothany's lamp providing light to an otherwise pitch black section of the Boggly Blockhouse, the team finds themselves at the beginning of a maze of twisty green pathways. In front of them, three Boos and a Green Fuzzy jump at the sight of newcomers. Not a single foot into the Blockhouse and they're already swept into combat!

Enemy stats! (http://pastebin.com/EizskEVR)

Spoiler: Dungeons (click to show/hide)

A Dungeon is a special type of Mission with a far larger battle map. In a Dungeon, the normal rules of combat are extended. You don't see the whole map at once: instead, it's revealed as you move. The final boss of a chapter usually resides at the end of a Dungeon.

There are some special objects that very rarely appear outside dungeons.

Treasure: Generally marked by a big T, Treasure is picked up by landing on the tile containing it. You don't know what the Treasure is until you pick it up!
Treasure Chest: Treasure Chests contain Treasures. They use up an Action Phase to open and are often guarded by enemies.
Trap: Passing over a Trap activates it, springing some unwanted effect on the activating user. Tiles that contain Traps are never listed in the opening terrain spoiler. Most Traps disappear after one activation. Flying units are not immune to most traps.
Wanderer: A Wanderer is a special type of enemy that is nearly as powerful as or more powerful than the boss of the dungeon. Killing a Wanderer grants no EXP, so it is usually best to avoid them when possible.
Switch/lever: Switches and levers can be activated with your Action Phase. They can change things like the layout of the dungeon.

Inezach takes one quick glance at the surrounding area, snorts out his nose once, lowers his head, and charges.

Zach and Ochita move first, tag teaming the lone Green Fuzzy. As they move further into the dungeon, they see a room absolutely filled with Boggly Boo's minions. No matter, though: just focus on one at a time, right? Ochita aims her Aqua Sphere in an arc that passes over 'Zach, but the spell makes the water under their feet wet as it pours over the Green Fuzzy. The poor purple Yoshi, attempting a running kick attack, accidentally slips on the floor instead.

Green Fuzzy A takes 6+4-3=7 damage!
Green Fuzzy A is Slowed (3/3)

Quote from: Inezach vs Green Fuzzy A

Hit%: 100-10=90. Hit roll: 98, miss!

Vilhelmas and Teressa, ever the opportunists, tag-team one of the Boos. With a simultaneous sword strike and mace swing, the Boo is knocked into a wall and disappears into the faint mist. They hear a sinister phrase:

"GHOST... DON'T... DIE! HEH HEH HEH!"

Quote from: Teressa vs Boo Magician B

Hit%: 100-9-5=86. Hit roll: 47, hit!
Boo Magician B takes 6+8-5 damage!

Quote from: Vilhelmas vs Boo Magician B

Hit%: 100-9-15=76. Hit roll: 47, hit!
Boo Magician B takes 7+9-5=11 damage!

Tanky and Boothany also double up on a Boo, and this gives Boothany a brief feeling of regret. Luckily, she doesn't have to poof a Boo into nothing just yet because their attacks don't prove powerful enough to make the Boogician disappear!

Quote from: Bethany vs Boo Magician A

Hit%: 100-9+10=101. Autohit!
Boo Magician A takes 4+4-5=3 damage!

Boo Magician A takes 7+8-10=5 damage!

It's the enemies' turn now, and they go for fresh blood. All four of the visible Boos turn their sights on the one they deem least dangerous - the one who tripped in battle - Zach. The poor Yoshi is struck with not one, not five, but FOUR HUNDRED VOLTS of lightning magicks! Blackened and smoking, he tries to rise to his feet, but his stubbly Yoshi arms simply cannot muster the strength to lift off the floor.

In a vain attempt to prevent its friends from coming to harm, one of the black Fuzzies forms a Tetris Block with the southmost Boos. Otherwise, no other movement occurs. The remaining foes hold their positions.
