fucking cowgirl
how the fuck are you doing
PrinceShroob: I hate the Yankees.
Keiki (GM): God hates the Yankees.
Acre: why do you have to be so rude
PrinceShroob: Because everyone else is?
Acre: I NEED TO GET IN CHARACTER
Catena: I am hella characteristic now.
[MUSIC] Toadbrook sewers
We last left our interpid heroes doing things in a sewer.
Kreg: Come on guys, let's get out of this dump.
Gray stars
Hella rad
Catena: It's super cool and gray.
Keiki (GM): Whoops, that's the wrong color!
Catena: But also on a wall?
dats da wrong colah
Catena: I'm also colorblind so it's probably not gray right now.
In fact it's....purple? Pink? Pinkish purple?
Spooker: Purple is just as strange as gray for a star <.>
PrinceShroob: What's the red circle that appears when I click my character? I've been wondering that for a while.
Kreg: Wow it's like I looked at it later and it suddenly changed colors!
Catena: Let's keep it for Reasons.
With all the fiery drive the party gave through the sewers, they realized something that wasn't even literally real.
PrinceShroob: rolling 8d6>4
= 4 Successes
PrinceShroob attempts to identify something that isn't actually literally a thing.
Catena does UPWARDS LEAP OF FAITH
Pretend I did that.
They have enough power to perform one (1) Terra Wish.
Catena: Hell yes. I have star power now.
Now I'm done with the sewers.
Now let's get out of this dump for real.
Catena: Brad is probably dazed by the sewer fumes. WOuld be really rude to leave him here.
Blitzin' Bradley starts jumping and clapping! Shrody is now completely distracted by Blitzin' Bradley's bizarre workout regiment!
Blitzin' Bradley: USA! USA! USA! USA!
Spooker: Was this here before? <.>
Wizzy: Let's leave sewers, sewer are bad
Kreg: It's an abstract concept, Spooker
Catena: You cannot grasp abstarct concepts.
The party gets out of this dump for real.
Wizzy: blahblah 2 hours of blahblah
Catena: Two hours of Rainbow Castle
Shrody: Hey, my tattle log looks emptier than it should be!
Kreg: Huh, so here we are!
Spooker: Ah, did we go backwards?
Catena: Welp, that was a gigantic waste of time.
[MUSIC] Toadbrook
Shrody: Hey, we got a Shine Sprite!
Spooker: I got a star sprite! ^.^!
Kreg: Well since we're here, why don't we go use our shines really quickly?
Shrody: Wasn't that worth something?
Use them.
Become superstars.
Keiki (GM): I'll go ahead and do that without going through the whole ritual... for now!
Spooker: They sure are taking a while with that <.>
Keiki (GM): What were your other choices, Zap?
PrinceShroob: Are they ever gonna do anything with Shrody's ship?
Catena: No time for shopping.
Zap: Oh, I thought you had those
Let me go find them
Catena: Also, I went back to my pirate hat because ties are lame not that I think about them.
The police are heavily investigating the crash! But something seems to be talking in Shroobish...
Zap: +5 HP, +10 FP, +3 BP
Keiki (GM): Oh hey. Didn't know I could copy and paste pictures in Roll20 profiles.
Shrody: If something's talking in Shroobish, then shouldn't I know what it's saying?
Keiki (GM): Oh yeah! And what did you want to call the item-pulling move?
You should if you do decide to listen in!
Catena takes a quick peek at the bulletin board instead
Spooker: Item Grab for now
Shrody listens to what's being said.
I might change it later
Acre: Not calling it Grab Bag
smh
Zap: But he is pulling it out of his mouth
Kreg: actually lemme test this
Kreg gives a rallying shout, invigorating anyone
12.5 feet away from him. Anyone hearing the shout receives a +2 Power bonus for 2 turns!
Doppler Effect, what is this.
Alrighty!
Shrody: Still listening in to this scene over here.
Spooker and Kreg proceed to visit with the strange, old, Pianta Shine Shaman.
They both receive powers granted only by the power of the shine sprites' light!
Kreg is amazed by this power!!
Catena: I dunno. You probably got involved in some strange Shine sect.
SSS for short
Shrody listens in to the Shroobish. Static intermittently breaks in and out. ".... ame: Culi......... P: Twe..... Watch out for...."
Shrody: Well that's freaking ominous!
Catena: I think Wanda is bored.
Catena reads the bulletin board.
Century Old Friends United!
Reports indicate that... what
Shrody: "Reports indicate that what"
Amazing article right there
Catena: Better than your lame static
Reports indicate that Yoshivala has reunited with his old friend Merlon! Yoshivala had been thought to be long-deceased, but it turns out he's still kicking. Looks like this friendship will endure many more years!
Shrody: The "static" is saying to watch out for something.
who was the elegant and really nice dude that helped that spooky dead ghost yoshi reunite with his best pal
Wanda just heads off to the factory while everyone else does literally nothing
Kreg: Not us that's for sure
Kreg: So anyway what are we waiting for?
I just wanted to read this board.
HEY SPOOKER, SHRODY, WANDA
LET'S MOVE
Spooker follows Wanda cause he doesn't think she should be wondering around alone
[MUSIC] Sponi-Factory Workyard
Catena: am I invited to move
mom, can I move
Kreg: You want a personal invitation?
Keiki (GM): Are you unable to move?
Kreg: You're a big boy you can decide for yourself
Shrody: Click the mouse pointer
Catena: Are you saying the other three aren't big boys.
Keiki (GM): Head to the factory?
Wizzy: head to ye factory
Wizzy: oh sounds like my pizza's here
brb
Two hours of Yold Ruins
Catena equips the Multi-Attack badge while no one is looking
Wizzy: never mind I was viciously decieved
Kreg: Why didn't we think of just opening this gate?
The factory seems similar in condition to when it first was seen about an hour or so ago.
Spooker: Ya we should've <.>
Catena: We even tried to break it.
Kreg: Let's just go the way we know I suppose
Shrody: Wait, I got a key from that Snifit.
Layze: sorry about that got called away
Shrody: Can I use that key on this gate?
The key doesn't seem to go to this gate!
Catena: Well, we could go here or through the depot over there.
Shrody: What about this thing?
Catena: Or is it a garage? Who knows.
Kreg: How are we going to get a metal door opened?
Wanda shoots a barrage of geometry at this window
Catena: oh no wait that was a wall I was looking at
Catena inspects the scarecrow for hidden goodies
The circle goes straight into the circle. How satisfying!
Oh nuts to this.
Spooker: Biting metal doesn't work ;~;
Shrody fumbles around with the shutter. It seems to open!
well uh
The scarecrow doesn't seem to have anything on it!
Wanda: ...Did nobody think to try opening the door?
Kreg: I thought it would be
you know
Shrody: Seriously, you guys are so busy with exploring everywhere that you end up ignoring what's right in front of you!
Catena: Also no time. Too busy inspecting shady cute scarecrows.
WOOP
Shrody: Also, I still have this key here!
If something was locked, this could probably open it.
Kreg: Wow when'd you get that thing?
Shrody: A while ago from that unconscious Snifit over there.
Well alright hten.
Then, even.
LET'S MOVE
Layze: "Well alright
sneeze" ~ kreg 2015
The party heads into the factory's shutter door.
two hours of factory level
also I'm a filthy memer now that I think about it.
.......Does this factory produce cereal anymore?
Kreg: ...wait, why are there claimed boxes
The party enters into the sprawling factory complex, and finds the blue Spania from earlier.
Shrody: ...Has somebody been here before?
Catena: Nice...factory, I guess.
[MUSIC] Sponi-Factory
Spizzy: ... Drat! You folks sure are persistent.
Catena: Much cleaner on the inside.
Kreg: Look, can we just talk?
Zap: Clearly we should dogpile him
Catena: But still, your warehouse needs serious maintenance.
Also, bottomless pits? What is this even built on?
...
But I digress.
Layze: someone do a bros. attack there
we'll get a bean
Spizzy: What are you folks so keenly after?
Catena: A talk with your boss.
Kreg: Yeah, all we want is to ask the boss something.
Wanda casts her new mustache-granting spell on Spizzy
Kreg: Once we're done with that we'll leave.
Shrody: Wow guys, really? You're gonna surround the poor guy like that?
Spizzy: I'd love to let you talk to the boss, but he's... unavailable at the moment.
Shrody hits this block while everyone else is talking
Kreg: Why's he "unavailible"
able
Spizzy: ... I don't appreciate this moustache, here.
Spooker: Mentally or physically? <.>
Shrody receives
17 coins(s)!
Catena: ...Guys, it's hella rude to steal things from other people.
Catena: Especially when we are trying to make business.
Spizzy turns around and looks at the orange, raised office.
Shrody: What are you talking about? Taking other people's stuff is considered very polite in Shroobish society!
Layze: maybe some day I'll buy something
PrinceShroob: Like a better wand?
Catena: So, what about that orange office?
Spizzy: 'Fraid he's holed up in his office.
Catena: I guess it stands out.
Spizzy: All these ghosts aren't leaving.
Kreg: I guess we'll just have to get up there!
Spizzy: Sponia insists he's perfectly safe under his desk.
Catena: What kind of ghosts?
Shrody: Wanda, why are you wandering off? That's my schtick!
Wanda and Shrody wander toward a platform. Two other raised platforms are beside it.
Catena: Because, uh...These green and purple ghosts are with us.
One is annoying and the other not so much, but they are fine ghosts.
Spizzy: Cheeky ghosts. Normally we wouldn't be afraid of a few boos, but...
Layze: see me in your town with the pounds of the haaaaze
PrinceShroob: Question is which ghost is the annoying one!
Spizzy: There's one forlorn spirit still haunting this building. Dunno why.
But some of our factory workers are disappearing left and right.
No idea what even happens to them.
Catena: Are you sure they aren't just leaving?
To find a better job?
MAYBE
just saying
Kreg: Don't you need to say you're leaving first
Wanda: Have you considered that perhaps your employees have been falling into these bottomless pits?
Spizzy: ... I haven't really considered that possibility.
Wanda: or maybe it could be related to the gianr conveyor belt into an incinerator.
Wanda: What on earth do you make here?
Spizzy: This factory is completely safe!
... Cereal!
Kreg: Don't be silly, Wanda, this factory is hella safe!
Shrody: It certainly follows the Shroobish guidelines for safety.
Spizzy: We make Sponi-Flakes. What else but the best?
Wanda: Why does a cereal factory need a 20,000 gallon incinerator?
Sure.
Spizzy: Sometimes cereal can be defective.
Wanda: Do you inspect every individual flake?
Shrody: under breath (Which basically means this place is so dangerous that it's practically designed to be that way)
Catena: That's an understatement.
How do we get up to that office?
Catena: Enough harping past times.
Wanda: Okay spiral man, if this factory is so safe, perhaps you could be so kind as to escort us through?
Wouldn't want us wandering into any trade secrets, after all!
Spizzy: ... Good question. I don't really know myself. I just kinda yell at employees from afar.
Wanda: Team, this idiot is clearly trying to send us to our deaths
There's an incinerator just over there, let's hold him over it until he talks
that's rude
Catena: I'm more surprised by the fact you said Team than you waning to murder someone.
With fire.
Wanda: Well of course, any good master needs her students!
I SEE A SHINE SPRITE
Layze: does anyone even need one still
The party gets down with their tisms at the sight of a shine sprite.
Layze: right, those guys that aren't here
Spooker: I feel like this lace needs teleporters if it doesn't have any
Kreg: Well sir, we'll just have to get there ourselves!
Catena: No, I think Spizzy needs to come with us.
Kreg: One final thing though, do these X marks on the floor mean anything?
Catena: Because it looks like this factory is really bizarre.
Wanda: Well, if I understand this factory as well as I think I do...
Spooker: Catena should knoe!
Spizzy: Anyway... I think it's possible to just walk on the conveyor belts. There's no way they could just... turn on or anything. This factory has passed every non-existent inspection there is!
Wanda: If we tear up these floor panels, we should discover a sarlacc pit
Wanda: i say we tame it and ride it through the factory
Spooker: He is a pirate, X's are notorious for being related to pirates
Shrody: ...That does nothing to reassure us, dude.
Catena: Well, try digging.
Spizzy: It's industrial metal. Gotta save costs when you can.
Catena: Explain the excavation.
This bottomless pit.
DO you think removing d¿soil is cheap?
¿¿¿¿¿¿?
Spizzy: Bottomless pits? Oh, there's a bottom. Hope you don't hit it or anything.
Wanda: When someone digs a bottomless pit, are they simply left to keep digging forever?
POINT IS
excavating is hella expensive
Wanda: Is there a man slaving away at the deepest point of every bottomless pit, desperately trying to find the nonexistent bottom after a lifetime of digging?
Spizzy: ... This philosophy is so deep. You guys must think really hard a lot!
Spooker: Hopefully nonsentient robots are digging
Let's cut to the chase.
Spizzy. We need to talk to the boss.
Zap: I just noticed my epic line mustache
Catena: We can also maybe take care of your cheeky ghosts problem.
On the way.
Wanda: I'm beginning to understand why you're a supervisor here.
Catena: We know how to bust ghosts.
Spooker: We might needsome equipment though
Wanda: Someone with such lax mental faculties as yourself should never be allowed to operate heavy machinery.
Spooker: Vacuums would help I think
Spizzy: That's why I'm a manager!
Catena: Well, let me tell you, Mr. Manager.
Spizzy: Y'know, I thought it over. I think I'll let you dudes go on a ghost raid.
Catena: Work on your warehouse outside.
PrinceShroob: Can we kill this guy now?
Catena: It's in the pits and also next to poisonous swamp.
Which is really not what I would call hygienic.
And also next to the sewers.
Keiki (GM): Shrody is more RIP AND TEAR than a goddamn orc, holy shit
Spooker: How else would they get the ingredients for their amazing cereal?
Catena: Who even looks for the warehouse? I've only seen patrol units in there.
PrinceShroob: Hey, I'm having a serious blood lust here, and the only cure for that...is years of therapy and shit. But I can't afford that, so I'm doomed to a life of bloodshed.
Spizzy: You'll never guess the secret ingredient! Other than an excessive amount of sugar.
Catena: what a manager thing to do to ignore the problem
Whatever.
LET'S GOOOOOOO
Kreg takes a look around and realizes the only way forward is on this belt
Catena: Do you know where you're going?
Catena: Do you know what you're doing?
Zap: We really should force him to guide us
Catena: Do you know what you need to do?
Kreg: Up the track or down it?
Catena: Up the track, to the left.
Layze: um it's a conveyor belt
it's probably moving
and probably toward the fire
The conveyor belt turns on suddenly!
Kreg starts running against the belt!
Shrody: KREG, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE!
Wanda "jumps over and floats there laughing at Kreg"
Spooker is also unaffected
Shrody: WANDA!? WHAT ARE You doing there just floating and not moving...
I don't think a death would be good for the factory.
The conveyor belt moves back at... a game mechanics way of saying 15 feet per round.
Kreg: I KNEW I SHOULD'VE LEARNED HOW TO RUN FAST
Wanda: It's already infested with the works who have been killed as a result of ridiculously unsafe working conditions.
the ghosts of the workers*
Shrody: Is this a battle?
Zap: Well that is one way to keep a fire burning cheaply
Keiki (GM): Will probably take a couple minutes to get this ready.
Shrody: Actually, would I even need to worry too much about falling in the furnace or whatever you call that? I'm immune to fire.
Catena: How would you get out of the furnace?
Shrody: By climbing out of there. Duh.
Catena: It's okay, Kreg. You can stand on the very edge of the conveyor belt.
It's maybe not moving.
Kreg: IIIIII DON'T WAAAAANT TOOOOOOOOOO
Catena: well stop being a big baby
[MUSIC] Battle 1
Keiki (GM): Alright! Take initiative!
Catena: rolling 1d6>4
= 0 Successes
Shrody: rolling 2d6>4
= 1 Successes
Kreg: rolling 1d6>4
= 0 Successes
Shrody: Having only one speed sucks.
Wanda: rolling 2d6>4
= 0 Successes
well
Layze: that shut me up, didn't it
Keiki (GM): rolling 2d6>4
= 1 Successes
Keiki (GM) takes initiative!
Shrody: Glad to see I'm the second fastest!
Acre: wih your crazy six speed or whatever
Zap?
Zap: rolling 6d6>4
= 4 Successes
PrinceShroob: Okay good, you're not dead.
Podobo: rolling 4d6>4
= 3 Successes
Spooker: rolling 5d6>4
= 1 Successes
Kreg: for the love of god don't know me over
Spooker utilizes inner Power on Podobo!
Podobo: rolling 4d6>4
= 2 Successes
Podobo tries to dodge Spooker's attack!
Podobo dodges whatever bite or random thrown object with ease!
The podobos leave hot spots on the conveyor belt!
Wanda: Feels good to fly!
By the way, these guys are completely ruining your conveyor belt.
Podobo: rolling 6d6>4
= 1 Successes
Podobo utilizes inner Power on Wanda!
Wanda: The conveyor belt already runs directly into an incinerator!
Why are you so concerned with the well-being of this godawful abomination of construction?
Catena: Honestly, I'm surprised it doesn't get destroyed by the fire.
Shrody: Wanda, just be quiet and try to dodge the Podobo's attack!
Catena: Or at least starting to malfunction.
Layze: oh my god I might actually be able to dodge that
Wanda: rolling 2d6>4
= 1 Successes
Wanda tries to dodge Podobo's attack!
Spizzy: No need to worry. It's completely fire retardant rubber!
Layze: why did it roll as me
Layze: I had wanda selected in the dropdown
Podobo whisks into Wanda, dealing
6 damage! Wanda is
burned !
Catena: BY the way, someone might die in your factory.
Wanda: Hundreds of workers already died!
We're probably fighting some of them right now!
Catena: Hundred and one now.
Shrody: Pffft, is that all you dumb Podobo's got? You guys are so pathetic!
Podobo: rolling 6d6>4
= 2 Successes
Podobo utilizes inner Power on Kreg!
Wanda is so concerned with looking down on Catena that she's failing to notice that she is currently on fire
Kreg: rolling 3d6>4
= 1 Successes
Kreg tries to guard against Podobo's attack!
Podobo whisks into Kreg, dealing
4 damage! Kreg is
burned !
PrinceShroob: I really feel like I should jump onto the conveyor belt so they would try to attack me.
Podobo: rolling 6d6>4
= 6 Successes
Podobo utilizes inner Power on Spooker!
Podobo whisks into Spooker, dealing
6 damage! Spooker is
burned !
Catena: I'm certain you guys should now this, but ghosts don't float when unconscious
Zap: I forget, can you use an item and attack?
Keiki (GM): One or the other. It's like Paper Mario.
Shrody: I can move through those fire rings without taking damage, right?
Keiki (GM): Except for your Item Grab thing, you can use that and then use the item if you'd like.
You probably could!
Zap: Also come the fuck on
Acre: since when is shroob immune to fire
Wizzy: did spooker get his lucky start thingy
Zap: And the fucking enemy got six hits
Spooker is now
regenerating FP!
Shrody: Since the beginning, fool.
: rolling 8d6>4
= 5 Successes
Shrody attempts to identify Podobo.
Keiki (GM): Shrody is immune to fire and weak to ice. He hate ice!!, remember?
Shrody proceeds to tell his team that Podobos are fairly weak, just rather speedy and powerful.
Acre: Question. Did I really sneakily equip the Multi-attack badge or not
HP is 6, Attack is 6, and Defense is 0.
Attacking a Podobo must be indirect, otherwise you might be burned!
Shrody: Unless you're immune to fire, maybe!
Zap: How much would I do with Bite? I have 5 power
Or ALREADY burned
Then who cares
Also, the hot spots on the conveyor belt will stop movement and do damage if stepped on.
Keiki (GM): That's about it. Journal's updated in just a sec.
Layze: can I float over those
Shrody: I like how I moved through those hotspots anyways since I'm immune. :3
Catena
stays the same HP this turn.
Catena: yeah, yeah, you're super cool and stuff
Oh. Uh
UHH
Shrody: You're immune to fire too, Catena.
Show that move again?
Layze: hey cake what did you end up doing to nerf lightning arc
He's not immune to fire?
Keiki (GM): It hits less targets. Still the same strength.
Wizzy: can't move through donuts acre
Keiki (GM): Half of your smarts, so 4!
I CAN MOVE THROUGH DONUTS
can I
Keiki (GM): Chomps typically are immune to fire, but they are also typically a lot more defensive than Catena is!
Acre: well, but I'm stronger
so suck it
Keiki (GM): The fire heats through his thin, conductive metal, and can harm him!
good to know
Keiki (GM): Ah, moving between it. I'll allow it.
Shrody: Doesn't that mean Catena can't attack the Podobos?
he'll just burn himself
the question I have is Kreg immune due to being in his shell when he attacks
Layze: wizzy kill either of the bottom two
you're already burned
Wizzy: Serious question there Cake
Acre: Also, I have three defense. That's just one less than an average chomp.
Wizzy: that's not the point
Acre: You're really rude, Cake.
Keiki (GM): Oh yeah, Kreggles takes a little burn damage.
oh whatever
I just don't want to fall off ok
Acre: It's okay, you'll just restart under a save block.
Wizzy: WE HAVEN'T HIT ANY
Acre: These are Paper Mario mechanics.
...Well, that's bad.
Keiki (GM): Uh oh, where da save blocks at
Acre: You've been holding out on us, Cake.
#WhereAreTheSaveBlocks
Spizzy: C'mon! Who's afraid of a few tiny embers?
Wizzy retracts into his shell and launches at Podobo, dealing
9 damage!
Kreg: rolling 9d6>4
= 7 Successes
Kreg utilizes inner Power on Podobo!
Spizzy: Hey! Take turns with fire!
Kreg retracts into his shell and launches at Podobo, dealing
9 damage!
The podobo is easily defeated!
Kreg spends the rest of his turn fighting against the belt
Wanda starts arcing lightning between her hands and looks at the southmost podoboo, murder in her eyes
Wanda: rolling 10d6>4
= 3 Successes
Wanda attempts to use Lightning Arc!
Wanda knows about timed hits!
Acre: I think you screwed up, Wizzy.
Wanda blasts Podobo with an arc of lightning, dealing
4 damage! It jumps to
4 additional targets within range of 20 feet each jump, shocking each for
2 damage!
Wanda: bounces to middle fire, then bottom, then middle, then top
Keiki (GM): Top's too far!
I think.
oh well
Keiki (GM): Okay, it hits.
Wizzy: maybe wanda should get some speed so this happens BEFORE the enemies all get a turn
Keiki (GM): Also, burn damage before I forget!
Wanda feels the singe of the burn, but it doesn't deter her lightning attack!
Acre: how do you singe a ghost
Layze: why is bar three the one on the left that's madness
The middle Podobo is defeated!
Wizzy: so that's bottom and middle 8 damage, top 4 right
bottom takes six, middle four, top none because it was too far
Shrody: ...Then why was the middle one defeated?
Layze: or I guess switch those because cake erased the middle one
Keiki (GM): No, they take 2 damage after!
After the initial attack.
So it'll go 4 -> 2 -> 2 -> so on.
Acre: but where are the hp bars
Shrody: Who cares? They both have 4 HP left.
Layze: bottom one took four
Zap: I thought one had 2?
Layze: top one took 2 I guess
wait
Keiki (GM): Yeah, because it was only zapped once!
2. Wanda blasts Podobo with an arc of lightning, dealing 4 damage! It jumps to 4 additional targets within range of 20 feet each jump, shocking each for 2 damage!
Acre: And what about Zap Tap?
Shrody: I think Cake decided to let your original attack plan go through after all, layze.
Acre: Did that do anything?
Keiki (GM): ... Oh, did you change it?
Layze: well you killed the middle one, I started at the bottom
Keiki (GM): I didn't notice any arrow things if you did them.
Layze: so I could do bottm -> middle -> bottom -> middle -> top
starting at the middle would've meant I could've only hit the other two once each
MATHS
ohhhhhh
Layze: sorry that wasn't clear
Keiki (GM): Oh yes. Conveyor time.
Layze: I need to remember to do the arrow thing
makes it easier for everyone
The conveyor belt draws the ground-bound group closer to the incinerator!
Keiki (GM): rolling 6d6>4 check to see if he stays!
= 3 Successes
Kreg is right on the edge! Make a /me tries to recover from a status effect!
...
Ake: Did you link to a macro?
Keiki (GM): Let me try that again.
No, I just... macroed in the middle of dialogue.
Acre tries to recover from a status effect!
Glitched shit out for me.
Keiki (GM): I see no previous messages.
Layze tries to recover from a status effect!
Acre: Kreg's fate remained uncertain for eternity
Kreggles.
Kreg just kinda stand slightly off the edge running in place
Layze: schrodinger's koopa
Keiki (GM): Type hashtag Recover.
Kreg: rolling 6d6>4

Spooker tries to recover from a status effect!
Kreg: I didn't have myself selected
Layze: ay man gotta save my shit #recover
Zap: Terrible rools for days
who will be my new bro now
Kreg tries to use his Up B to recover, but falls into the incinerator!
Wizzy: just to go on the record
this is wanda's fault
for telling me to attack one of the bottom ones
Acre: Your fault for misjudging.
god*
Kreg is singed, and launches back out of the incinerator!
Acre: I can't believe Kreggles is fuck---oh
Well that was anticlimatic as hell.
PrinceShroob: Oh yeah, blame the bitch for you thinking anything she says is supposed be taken as good advice.
Zap: When can I make my move
Layze: why would wanda care what happened to you after the fireball was dead
Wizzy: oh come on you guys what happens in any paper mario game when you fall into a "bottomless pit"
ded
PrinceShroob: I have no idea because I never fall into any bottomless pit.
my "Down but not out" thin apply here
thing even
srsly cake what i gotta do to get those badges combined
Keiki (GM): You are alive for a turn and can move 5 feet. Have fun speaking!
Layze: oh, they are on my profile
I was looking at my backpack
m'ba
d
Keiki (GM): Whoops! Forgot about the backpack.
Acre: Use those five feet movement to punch Spizzy in the face for being a jerk.
PrinceShroob: ...Wait, how much BP did it take to equip those badges separately.
*?
Zap: I'm just gonna go then
PrinceShroob: Wait, really?
Layze: plus it says I now FREQUENTLY gain fp
neat
So you can stay the same FP twice in a row.
Keiki (GM): It's pretty OP.
Wizzy: spooker hit people with objects
Spooker: rolling 5d6>4

Spooker utilizes inner Power on Podobo!
Acre: But with passion, man.
Podobo: rolling 4d6>4

Podobo tries to dodge Spooker's attack!
Zap: I could be napping instead of getting raped in the ass by these dice rolls
PrinceShroob: Might want to focus more on your not-speed stats.
Zap: 5 should be plenty of dice to roll
Zap: I am just not having any luck
Wizzy: well anyway have fun wanda getting attacked instead of your tanks
:v
PrinceShroob: ...Shouldn't it be the Podobos' turn now?
Layze: lol wanda is so dead
Ssss.
Layze: yeah the podobos fell off the initiative
Podobo: rolling 6d6>4
= 2 Successes
Podobo utilizes inner Power on Catena!
Ake: With five dice you'd average 2.5 successes, so 1 success isn't too unlikely.
Acre: rolling 3d6>4
= 1 Successes
Acre tries to guard against Podobo's attack!
Catena: oh no my immunity to fire
Podobo whisks into Catena, dealing
4 damage! Catena is
burned !
The podobos leave hot spots!
Acre: So how much defense do I need to actually be immune to fire like it was established in the first session.
Keiki (GM): The real reason is that you just never invested in it!
Shrody invested in it.
Layze: oh and btw to whoever said earlier I should get more speed
nah~
I like wanda being slow
Catena: that's not even an answer
Layze: mages should be slow
Wizzy: you never put it as a feature of you acre
that's why
Layze: yeah you never like bought into it or whatever with your whatsit points
Wizzy: like how I'm technically a Koopa, I just have a shell
PrinceShroob: Still waiting for the other Podobo to attack.
Keiki (GM): Ended my turn.
Wizzy: pretty sure the other one just moved
Layze: oh fuck it's charging
Wizzy: it wanted the high ground
Shroob, Acre, focus the full health one
that charging can't be good
Acre: I guess that mostly because I assumed it was a natural thing and didn't need to be something you had to invest.
Keiki (GM): So... you can move, Shroob!
Acre: I still think it's nonsense, but whatever.
Keiki (GM): The other one just moved.
Shrody: Can I bite without taking damage?
Keiki (GM): Nope! You will take damage from bites, slaps, and jumps.
Shrody: ...Even though fire doesn't hurt me?
Go ahead.
Acre: fire hurts everyone
Layze: it's REALLY good fire
Shrody: rolling 6d6>4
= 3 Successes
Shrody attempts to use Poison Bite!
Shrody knows about timed hits!
Wizzy: shit man this fire
is so rad
Shrody walks up to Podobo and sinks his teeth down, dealing
11 damage. Podobo is
not poisoned .
Shrody: Because my Ray Gun only does 5 damage.
Acre: SO can I at least do damage?
Shrody: HOW'S THAT FOR FOCUSING ON THE FULL HEALTH ONE!?
Wizzy: asked Shrody to no one
Keiki (GM): Good question.
yes no maybe
I don't know
can you repeat the question
Keiki (GM): You're not the fucking boss of me now.
Layze: none of them had full health
Layze: one had two and one had four
Wizzy: references are funny guys
PrinceShroob: Maybe Catena can use his chain as a weapon?
Keiki (GM): Unless you have an item, I don't think you can harm him.
BYE
Catena becomes the only true winner of the conflict.
I could throw a hammer at this dork right
Shrody: I'M GONNA FREAKING SINK MY TEETH IN YOU YOU FUCKING PUSSY!!
Kreg limps up, grabs a hammer
Kreg: I WILL NOT... BE SO EASILY DEFEATED!
Catena: No, but seriously.
Kreg: rolling 9d6>4
= 4 Successes
Kreg utilizes inner Power on Podobo!
Kreg tosses a hammer at Podobo, dealing
5 damage.
Catena: Has no one ever thought of just...jumping out of the conveyor belt and leave.
Layze: that is a HELL of a toss
PrinceShroob: It's a hit!
Catena: what is a fire thing going to do to us
Kreg, with his last remaining energy, lands a hit on the Podobo!
The Podobo is knocked out and defeated!
PrinceShroob: Also, Kreg is now revived since he beat an enemy, right?
Zap: Spooker got to do all of fucking nothing
Acre: All I did was jump in the conveyor belt thinking I could do anything.
PrinceShroob: Okay, I have to go now.
Acre: Then jumped off as soon as I leanred I couldn't do anything.
Wizzy: I really hope that ends the fight otherwise my Life Shroom will activate :c
The party gains
16 Star Points as well as
18 coins!
[MUSIC] Sponi-Factory
Layze: you literally could have bit him
you'd have taken a whole one damage
Kreg springs to life after the successful hit.
Acre: Cake said no-no to that.
Kreg: Heh... can't believe that worked...
no
you can still attack them, it just hurts
Acre: Keiki (GM): Unless you have an item, I don't think you can harm him.
Keiki (GM): Muh paper marios
well
Ake: Wasn't it because of being ranged?
Keiki (GM): If you got ranged attacks, or just like a weapon that protects you or makes it indirect, you can deal damage.
Catena: What a fantastic experience.
The conveyor belt slows down. The hot spots are cooled.
Catena: I sure will remember to write it down in a book.
And chuck it at that jerk.
Acre: also, I see that crummy moon drawn on the floor
Kreg takes out both his (now slightly toasted) Mushrooms and eats them
Zap: Can I use my item attack even though the battle is over?
I got nothing to heal with
Wanda eats her fried shroom
Keiki (GM): Hm. I think moves that heal and create things will be the exception to using FP.
So yes.
It'll just use FP outside of battle, unlike other moves.
Spooker pulls out a
Super Shroom !
Acre: So are we going to get that Shine?
Zap: How can I get rid of the burn?
Wizzy: Plus another 5 HP, Cake, I had and used two Mushrooms
Keiki (GM): Did you already delete it from the pack?
My backpack says I have two
Zap: Oh the burn is gone, yay
Keiki (GM): I was just checking to make sure you had one. I know you take care of the pack!
Spooker pulls out Super Shroom out of his mouth. He immdiidately shoves it back in, chewing it before swallowing, going back to max HP in some way that truly does not make sense.
yes, I did
Zap: Too bad I forgot to spellcheck that
Kreg: Spooker, how in the world do you do that?
What unfathomable display of absurdity did I just watch?
Fuck you.
Catena: you're looking at me, though....
Kreg: Well, let me try this again, this time hopefully with less ghosts!
Well, not ghosts
and WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THOSE BOXES
Keiki (GM): The area's loooading!
Acre: Wile that happens, Let's get the shine
Spooker: I have no idea how I do that ^.^
Wanda wonders if she can reach these stairs without triggering the encounter over there
Catena: You know what time it is.
Wanda realizes it doesn't matter because she can turn invisible
Wanda indeed can, as some Sponi-workers just seem to be milling about.
Kreg: Is there even anything to grab on?
...uh
Maybe.
Spooker: This looks like fun ^.^
Catena: Hold on, let me get a reality check first.
Acre: Cake, explain these lights.
Catena gets a reality check addressed to him.
Light fixtures hang above the three platforms.
Acre: Are they in a straight line?
Layze: they were invented by thomas edison as a means of using eletricity to light houses
The middle one is a lot farther and Thomas Edison etc.
Keiki (GM): That's a yes.
Keiki (GM): There's just a platform in the middle!
That does down some stairs.
Catena GETS READY FOR BRO ACTION
Catena doesn't need any filthy action command
Kreg DOES THE BRO THING WITH CATENA ON THE LAMP
Catena latches onto the lamp and swings Kreg across. Kreggles is just lagging. It's the server, man.
I think he overshot it
Catena: But it was I, Catena!
Spooker was here to be amazed by the bro action.
Keiki (GM): Also, PSA about Outta Sight. You must stand still to stay invisible!
Keiki (GM): I think that'll be my fix for... randomly phasing into anything.
Kreg kicks at this X spot a little
Keiki (GM): Well. At least relatively still.
Catena: I heard X and I want in.
Kreg: I'm still bugged by this
Keiki (GM): You can fidget.
I want the X.
Zap: Could I throw things from my mouth
The three admire at the X on the ground. It sure is pretty.
Catena: I want this X and that shady scarecrow.
Kreg: Hey Catena, you know how the Mario Bros always found beans in these X spots?
But okay.
Kreg: What if they found them in factories like this?
Are you a digger?
Can you dig?
Kreg: How would Luigi go through solid metal?
Catena: I have no clue, but I'll just assume you're right.
Kreg: Nah Mario would slam Luigi into the ground with his hammer and somehow it'd... work
Oh.
Do I get........this bro feeling
Catena gets........ the bro feeling.
Kreg: Though my hammers are a bit smaller than what they use.
Catena: Because let me tell you, pounding you into the ground sounds like a fantastic idea.
Keiki (GM): ... Where'd everybody go?
Just mind the spikes.
No need.
Get upside down.
Keiki (GM): Catena's a thinking man.
Catena: I might break your legs.
Keiki (GM): Thinking... Chomp.
Catena: That's fine. You don't need legs.
I certainly don't.
I LIKE having legs
Catena: well maybe you're a special snowflake
ANYWAY
Kreg: look it's not that hard to just jump on my head
Catena: Do you mind if I break your neck instead?
Keiki (GM): This entire exchange is just great.
Catena: It's neck or leg.
Kreg: What if I just tuck my head in my shell first?
My shell's pretty sturdy.
Spooker: What if someone who can be pushed through the floor without being hurt does it
Catena: But then your legs will just WHO CARES GET READY
Spooker: I mean no one would say I'm smart but I do have this mustache now
Kreg just tucks into his shell
Spooker: I bet I get at least +1i ntellegence or something
Kreg is pounded into the ground. Inexplicably, he finds a dang bean growing in the factory platform.
Well!
Kreg pops up holding a bean in hand
Kreg and Catena are starting to understand Spike Drill Bros.!
Catena: We found the secret ingredient.
Catena: We can now blackmail Spizzy.
Kreg: ...where the hell am I going to keep this bean
Keiki (GM): If you're asking
Layze: was that ACTUALLY a bean spot when you drew it
Keiki (GM): Wait the suspension of disbelief has been cut
I planned this all along
Keep going, nigs.
Wizzy: yeah layze don't doubt the gm
god
Catena: I learned the power of OUtta sight.
But only works on one guy.
and not on me.
Kreg: Well I guess if we ever plan to use THAT one in combat you'll have to initiate that attack.
Catena: oh boy I got my own attack now
eeee
Catena will break Kreggle's neck/legs in combat to initiate the attack.
Kreg: Well let's rejoin the others, I'm sure they're worried.
Though I need to get like, a bean bag.
or something
Catena: ...The others being Wanda.
Wanda Wanda, now that the scene is shifting this way, has been staring at this sign for about 30 minutes. Has she deciphered it yet?
Catena touches the metaphysical star. maybe. somehow
Keiki (GM): And Brad and Esmond. RIP
"Iron Enrichment Facility"
Catena: DID I HEAR IRON ENRICHMENT
Zap: Got that sounded way too Portal for me
God*
Wanda opens the colossal door
Catena: show me the iron enrichment facility
The colossal door is locked!
Catena: maybe I'll get fire immunity with this
The sound of giggling can be heard faintly.
Wanda: He seems to be just...standing there.
Catena: But he's...lallygagging on the conveyor belt.
oh god laughs
NO
I DON'T HAVE YOUR TIBBERS
I DON'T WANT TO PLAY TOO
Wanda: I'm sure he won't mind.
sorry
Keiki (GM): That was ladled with the tisms, Wizzy.
Wanda takes shrody's backpack, roots through for the key, and puts the pack back on haphazardly
Wizzy: I tried making a reference joke but I forgot no one here is a complete loser
Layze: don't worry wizzy I played league for like 10 wholes seconds
Keiki (GM): I got the joke.
I ain't laughing.
Layze: I at least know what tibbers is
Keiki (GM): But I got it.
Wanda tries the key on the colossal door
Catena: That's not so colossal.
Wanda: It's a ten by ten square door!
The key is too big! The lock is like a babby lock for a huge door.
You know you want to burn stuff.
aw man
Kreg: I thought she would've loved the chance to burn things
Wanda: Much as you've been trying to prove it wrong, I suspect most metal things will not give way to fire
Wanda probably assumes right!
Catena: I think I just got poisoned and burned at the same time.
Heyo.
Spinia: Oh... hey there...
Wanda conjures a fireball in her hand
Catena: I heard there were ghosts and probably goblins.
Wanda: Shut up and tell us how to get to the owner's office.
I am entirely sick of this awful factory.
wanda no
Catena: How about that Iron Enrichement Facility?
Do you know who has a key to that place?
Sponia might have the key...
But what do I know...
Wanda: Of course he does.
Catena: ...Spizzy probably has one.
Kreg: What's wrong, guys?
Wanda: Well he sounds smarter than most of you lot, so I'm guessing someone has stolen his brain.
Let's keep moving.
Ghosts are rude as hell.
That fire sure is useless!
Spooker: It got night faster then usual today
Kreg: They even put the fire out?!
Wanda quickly turns invisible so as not to be a part of whatever stupid thing is about to happen
Kreg: Why does your factory have a "instant lights off" button?
Keiki (GM): Quiiick break!
Layze: cake I'm ridiculously sick of wanda
can I make a new character for next week
Ake: Is the new character layze?
Wizzy: it's my new character, wondo
Layze: I was thinking about it honestly
Keiki (GM): Okay, maaaybe if the new character's Layze.
Layze: might be cool to make him a bard
Acre: Make her go through some forced character development
Zap: I may or may not fall asleep while the break is going
Keiki (GM): Then role play a bit!
Acre: Although, to be honest, I was also getting a bit too bored of my character
Random clanks rattle in the distance.
Wizzy: but you have such synergy with mine now
Layze: did the incinerator suddenly go out too
Acre: I'm not gonna change characters
...
how did I not see that
Acre: It WAS out for a few seconds though.
Wizzy: but the fire would not be denied
Acre: also, spooky ghost time
Layze: you cannot kill the fire
the fire will live on
Hello?
Acre: And two hours of Twilight...path. Or Trail? Twilight Trail.
MR. FRIEND
I'M A SPOOKY GHOST
Kreg: Well glad to hear you still kicking too
Kreg: Where's the other three?
Sidestepper: THEY ARE DEAD
YOU WILL TOO
NO, REALLY. TWO OF THEM ARE ALREADY GHOSTS
Something clicks, and the lights slowly power on.
Sidestepper: AND ONE IS KINDA IN A COMA?
Kreg: well that's not very nice
Sidestepper: but it's the truth, mang
uhm
Sidestepper: aah light nooo my spooky ghost
Kreg: ...do you hear someone new?
Wanda: There's the ghost.
We're all going to die.
Spania: I... knew it'd be today...
Wanda: rolling 10d6>4
= 7 Successes
Wanda attempts to use Outta Sight!
Wanda knows about timed hits!
Kreg: The heck happened?!
Wanda: Satan stole a disc man.
Spania: ... We're all next...
No...
Wanda: Sounds just like your name, huh, Stan?
WHAT IS THAT THING
WHA
Wanda: Alright, so Satan is wandering around the factory turning depressed minimum wage workers into scarecrows.
I vote we have nothing to do with any of that and just go get the stupid quilt.
Spania waddles over to the corner between a crate and the scaffolding and shakes.
Spooker lightly noms the scarecrow to see if it reacts
The scarecrow does not react.
Wanda: What's there to solve?
Satan walked over here and turned this man into a scarecrow.
Mystery solved.
Time to go.
Kreg: No, we're solving the problem.
As in, we're putting a stop to it.
Wanda conjures a fireball
Wanda: This should take care of it
Kreg: In your "practical" terms I doubt the boss would let us go out with the patch without solving the problem anyway.
Wanda: Why on earth would he care?
He's just collecting souls.
We needn't have anything to do with any of this.
Spooker: He didn't say anything <.>
Kreg: And what if the ghosts decide to after others next?
What then?
Wanda: He was thinking it.
More power to them!
Acre: Man, I hate when I misclick and leave the page.
Spooker: I thought scarecrows didn't have brains
Like that was the whole point of that one trying to get one in that movie
Wanda: Wizard of Oz doesn't exist in this world, be quiet.
Wizzy: and then it doesn't let you back for 10 minutes
I misclick and leave the page.
ugh
Catena: Hello! I guess I was a bit phased by the sudden light?
Zap: 'So I'd really like to be done with the session within the hour
Keiki (GM): I think now's a good time to quit, actually.
Kreg: We just saw one of the workers get abducted before our eyes Catnea
Wanda: He wasn't abducted!
Kreg: And we're going to find out how to put a stop to it.
Why is there a scarecrow here?
He's the worker?
Wanda: The lights went out, Satan was summoned, lights came back, he turned this man into a scarecrow.
I KNEW
I GODDAMNED KNEW IT.
Those scarecrows were shifty and shady as all hell.
Wanda: And now Tommy is suggesting we kill Satan to save these halfway-suicidal factory workers.
Spooker: I nommed it and it didn't react too
Catena: Did you guys take a look at this...uh "satan"
Wanda: He carried a lantern of hellfire in which he burned this man's soul.
So.
There is some satan guy going around this factory turning the workers to scarecrows.
Catena: MAN, did I think this place was in the pits.
This place is in literally every single pit ever. Bottomless pits.
Quite hot by the way, I don't suggest a dive in.
Catena: ...SO where did the satan guy go off to after this?
Let's go get the quilt and leave.
Catena: I don't think we'll get the quilt without dealing with that guy.
I just get the feeling.
Kreg: He just kinda... vanished.
Catena: That maybe...JUST MAYBE
Wanda: If he comes for us we'll just feed him Shrody.
He seems to have lost his mind same as the workers.
Catena: something asinine will happen
Shrody has been keeping pace with the conveyor belt the entire time.
Catena: like SPONIA GOT TURNED INTO A SCARECROW. OH NOO
Kreg: Shrody just wants exercise.
Catena: now we won't get the quilt because uh oh we can't deal with a scarecrow
Haha, I just jinxed everything.
Kreg: Yeah this is kinda the situation that I tried to tell her would happen.
Catena: Way to go, genius.
Kreg: If not that then the ghost will probably just go turn everyone in the town into a scarecrow.
Wanda: I don't understand why the manager being a scarecrow is in any way counterproductive to what we're trying to do
Catena: That's bad for citizenship.
Wanda: From everything I've heard about him in the last couple of hours he sounds like a complete idiot.
Spooker: Sponia is hiding under his desk, he should be fine
Catena: Oh, he is a complete idiot.
But he's really unpredictable.
He somehow manages to pull through. He's that kind of guy. I know him.
But he's a moron.
Wizzy: yeah I think that's uh
a good time to call this
Keiki (GM): I think this is a good place to end it.
WE MUST INSPECT THE MOON
Layze: yeah I think zap clocked out
Keiki (GM): Zap's takin' a faprest.
Like I just said something ealier
Keiki (GM): Acre da real MVP
Anyway. GG kids GG
Keiki (GM): Say what you'd like before you go!
Catena: X marks the spot.
Moon marks...?
Layze: wait if an X = a bean
Layze: there's probably a 3-up buried there
Kreg: Only one way to find out, I suppose.
Kreg GROUND ENTER SOMEHOW
Layze: I want you guys to be aware of how exploitable that exchange was
like to anyone who didn't already know what was happening there catena definitely just sodomized kreg
Wizzy: you see layze that's why they're true bros
Acre: Bro moves can break reality.
Catena and Kreg expertly maneuver to retrieve an Attack FX SV badge!
Acre: with the power of.....bros
...
Catena equips THE WORST BADGE EVER
Layze: ...the worst badge ever
Acre: you'll see why it's the worst badge ever
Anyway, yeah, I'm done if you guys want to stop.
Layze: ...if you guys want to stop
Layze: ...so tired, gamers
what in the
Acre: two hours of whatever the hell is this
Keiki (GM): I'll have to summarize that one.
