Catena and Kreg have finished some Trouble Center legal mumbo jumbo sooner than the rest. They decide to take the time to themselves for now.
[MUSIC] Toadbrook
Catena: I decided to take time to myself for now.
That's a thing I just did.
Kreg: I'm sure you did
Catena: And I guess Kreg too
Kreg: Yeah I dunno Shrody just ran off after we were done I guess
Catena: He's right there.
Shrody: Hi
Keiki (GM): I imagine Kreg and Catena took the time to try out that Spike Drill Bros. thing right about now.
Catena: Everyone is right there doing legal mumbo jumbo.
Kreg: So Catena
Since we have some time
Keiki (GM): hey son hey
Catena: We do have time.
And about some of it.
Kreg: Let's perfect our SUPER AWESOME MEGA COOL NE--okay let's just try out the damn move
Catena: Will we find BEANS
We will find beans.
Kreg: Man I hope so
I need a sack for these
Catena: That's beans.
ha ha ha horf
Kreg: HA HA HA HA HA
Catena: actually
Keiki (GM): Perhaps a sack could be found somewhere!
Catena: What did you even do before the Merlon trouble?
You went off to do your thing.
Kreg: ...uh
I dreamed a dream
...don't worry about it
Catena: That's nice.
But it's slightly suspicious.
SO YEAH
MOVE TIME..somewhere.
we sort of need a target
Kreg: Yeah and I doubt they'll appreciate us digging up the town square
...although that ground before just kinda reformed itself didn't it
Catena: We dug through the factory
but who even cares about the factory
Kreg: ...
I don't think anything makes sense
Catena: How about
Shrody's ship?
Shrody: Touch my ship and you die.
Catena: He wouldn't mind we dig a hole on it.
I'M CERTAIN
Kreg: I think he's going to have enough legal fees as is
Let's not add towing to that.
Catena: man
but what if it has alien beans
Shrody: It doesn't.
Kreg: welp
Catena: Oh
Hey!
Shrody.
When you think of the word "target", what comes to your mind?
Shrody: Bradley's head.
Catena: Nah, he has defense.
Kreg: Well at least he didn't say a store.
Catena: ay
anyhow
Kreg: Maybe we could go to the sewers again
Catena: ehh
sure
Kreg: No one would care if we beat something up in there
Catena: Maybe some certain area we didn't go through
I think there was more than one pipe there?
Kreg: Well then!
Shrody you wanna come?
Or you fine just sitting here?
Catena: Sewer time adventures.
It's almost as good as underwater adventures
Shrody: Sure.
Kreg: Hey remember that time with the blooper
good times
Catena: I'm certain digging through a sewer system won't cause any trouble.
Ha ha ha.
Kreg: Well if it does
We'll just make sure not to let the information leak
Ha ha ha.
Catena: Ha ha ha.
...
Keiki (GM): So, Roll20 has some new TECHNOLOGY
Catena: you're dumb.
Keiki (GM): I can actually have some people in one map and others on another.
Acre: Multitasking ???
Wizzy: man that's been a feature
Keiki (GM): Yep!
PrinceShroob: welp
Acre: good
Well, off to sewer adventures then
Wizzy now loading, please wait
Acre: Do we have to reexplore the sewer?
Catena, Shrody, and Kreg go down a familiar warp pipe.
[MUSIC] Toadbrook Sewers
Keiki (GM): It may have changed.
Acre: Nice
Wizzy: I ain't going back where the blooper was at least not willingly
Catena: Well then gang.
Kreg open door
Catena: Right or left? ...Right
Kreg: I remember the other way having a damn Blooper
Remember when I said "good times"
I lied
Catena: Well, it could be anywhere.
Kreg: Hm
I seem to remember that pipe up there being where we wandered from the first time we were here
Catena: I think one of the red pipes leads to the jungle.
Maybe.
Kreg: What was behind this door?
You know, Catena?
Catena: A pile of nohing.
Kreg: Oh, just stuff
Okay
Catena: We took the stuff.
Do we go to the new place or the old place?
Kreg looks to see if these pipes are marked at all
Catena: Like, back to the jungle or wherever the other one goes to.
The pipes have not been marked.
Catena: I say right.
Right pipe is always right.
Kreg: Well, alright
Come on Shrody
Keep up
Catena pipes
Kreg pipe
PrinceShroob pipey
Shrody: i mean me
[MUSIC] Boot-town
In a wooded town of gigantic boots, a pipe appears!
Kreg: ...the heck?
Catena: ...Boots.
Shoes.
New place, very nice.
Goomba: Oh, hello?
Kreg: Hi!
Catena: Hello!
We are we now?
Shrody: Greetings
Catena: ...*where
Goomba: You guys seem to have popped in from the vast sewer system!
... Happens more common than you'd think.
Catena: Sewers, man.
Goomba: This is Boot-town!
Kreg: ...Boot-town
Catena: I see.
Kreg: I'd joke about originality but I don't think I'm in a spot to
Catena: Well, if we want to start digging...
we should maybe ask for permission.
We don't want to get booted out of ton.
Goomba shrugs his non-existent shoulders.
Goomba: Why not?
Catena: Ha ha ha.
town, I mean
Kreg: Yeah otherwise we might get shoe-...ted
Goomba: We might have to decree you to leave if you keep making terrible jokes!
Kreg: ...
Catena: ok
Kreg hangs his head in shame
Catena: I only make the freseh most hilarious jokes but ok
Goomba: If you need anything else, just ask around! There's a shop and an inn here. Oh, and Elder Goombraum's house.
Catena: Freseh is a funny word.
Elder.
I like that word. Elder.
Goomba: ... Elder.
Kreg: Elder.
Catena: Where is the elder?
Shrody: Your jokes are about as fresh as a fruit bought from Wal-Mart.
Catena: Biggest boot in town?
Kreg: Usually a safe bet
Goomba: He's in the largest boot, actually!
Catena: Let's see if he has a patch.
Kreg: I... doubt he would, but sure I guess
Catena: He's old and therefore a friend of Merlon.
AND THEREFORE has a patch.
Kreg: are you making an assumption about a guy you've never met based on his age
Catena: Yes.
Kreg: ...
Eh, okay.
Catena: Do you want to bet money on this.
All your cash.
Kreg: Nah.
Catena: Half.
Kreg: I'll buy you a soda.
Catena: Alright.
TO THE BOOT
Catena boots
Kreg boots up
Catena: ...hm
Kreg: ...hello?
Catena: Nice boot.
Kreg: ...uh
Kreg clears throat very loudly
Catena: wow, rude
Kreg: ...
Goomba: Whuh?
Goomba looks over the couch.
Catena: Hello!
Goomba: You rang?
Catena: I guess, yeah.
Goomba: You must be looking for Goombraum, I'm taking it.
Catena: We're looking for the Elder of the town. Is he here?
Kreg: Yeah.
Catena: Wow, how did you knowww
Goomba: He's upstairs! Doing... Goombraum things.
Kreg: ..."things"
Catena: I'm suddenly scared.
but I faced scarier things.
Kreg: Look I'll go first so you don't have to see
Shrody enters house
Catena: ...is it okay for us to go check on the elder?
well, I guess it is.
Kreg: ...Elder Goombraum I presume?
Catena: oh nooo I also went upstairs before consulting
Elder Goombraum: Oh, hello there!
I was just... I forget what I was doing.
Catena: That is fine.
Kreg: You looked like you were standing there.
Staring into space.
Elder Goombraum: ... Yes I was! I was... thinking of maybe getting new furniture or something sometime.
Catena: A boot table.
Elder Goombraum: Whatcha need, whippersnappers?
Kreg: Yeah this place seems barren.
Catena: Do you know Merlon?
Elder Goombraum: Why, yes I do. You could say we go way back.
Catena: HA.
Kreg: ...
Catena: I win a soda.
Kreg: You... don't happen to have a quilt patch, do you?
Elder Goombraum: 500 or some years ago, even.
Catena: Like, an terra patch or something?
Nice stuff, with a pattern on it.
Elder Goombraum squints his eyes.
Catena: We're on a quest for them. To do good things.
Elder Goombraum: What do you folks know about Terra Patches?
Catena: They are patches.
They are from terra stuff
Kreg: Well uh
Catena: and have wishing powers
And Merlon and some peeps cut it in pieces for reasons.
Kreg: to remember each other by Catena
not "for reasons"
Elder Goombraum: You're... oddly knowledgeable about this.
Catena: yeah, I guess it as a singular reason
Kreg: Well uh
See, we're collecting them so we can save Mario
You know, THE Mario?
Catena: Mario Mario.
Kreg: As opposed to Mario Andretti or something
Catena: He's like brainwashed and we've been told by Merlon that the terra patch might free him.
Elder Goombraum: Well, uh... Hm.
I don't know if I could really trust you, but to be frank...
Catena: Yoshivala trusted us with his.
Elder Goombraum: I don't have mine anymore.
Kreg: ...
you what
Catena: You lost it?
Gave it to someone?
Kreg: On one hand that means I don't owe someone something anymore but on the other... what
Elder Goombraum: No. I gave it away to another troupe of adventurers. Kinda like you guys.
Catena: No, you still owe me a soda.
Kreg: We'll talk later
But... another group?
...wait
...nah, couldn't be them
Catena: Was there like a bob-omb with garish wings on that group?
Elder Goombraum: They seemed about as deadset on getting that quilt back together as you.
To be honest, I think they had similar but slightly different intentions than you fellows...
Catena: Or a brown yoshi wearing sunglasses.
Kreg: ...different intentions?
They wanted to save Mario, right?
Shrody: Or a stupid looking turtle in a white robe?
Catena: Or...who else was on that group?
Kreg: I dunno I kinda blanked on what they looked like
Elder Goombraum: I think they wanted too whoop him.
Catena: I'm pretty sure one of them wanted to kill Mario, so no!
And I do mean "kill"
Rude as heck, if you ask me.
Kreg: ...
oh dear
Catena: Good job, Kreg, you put one and one together.
Kreg is notably a bit scared
Elder Goombraum: I don't remember exactly what they looked like... Hm.
Catena: Garish butterfly wings.
on a black sphere
Elder Goombraum: Oh, I remember her!
Pogonia was her name.
Catena: Huh.
Kreg: ...Pogonia
Elder Goombraum: Haven't seen her recently, though. Must have been on that same quest.
Catena: Well, I don't think I ever caught her name before.
Pogonia, huh.
Well, we at least know the name of one of them.
Shrody: I think it was Baka-something.
Kreg: Shrody that's rude
Shrody: Huh?
Kreg: Don't call people you don't know a "Baka"
Shrody: ...Why?
Catena: Well, now we know for sure that those guys are also after the patches.
Kreg: ...you really need to learn about this planet's culture
Catena: And that one of them is called Pogonia.
Elder Goombraum: I think she lives out in the gardens, west of here.
Catena: ...she did say someting about a mango farm didn't she
Kreg: what
Shrody: ...Well maybe, but actually telling me what I did wrong would help me to learn the culture more than just telling me to learn about the culture.
Catena: We should check out the garden.
Kreg: okay shrody look
Catena: Maybe dig there. It's a garden.
Kreg: you just called this person you don't know a stupid
that's not nice
Catena: ...what areyou two even talking about
Shrody: ...Wait, but I thought "stupid" was a verb. You're using it like a noun.
Kreg: okay look
we're done with this conversation
and we're going to this... "farm"
Catena: I heard a good thing being said just now.
We'll be off then.
Kreg: Please excuse us sir, thank you for the information.
Catena: See ya
Oh.
Elder Goombraum: You're welcome... Oh, and don't get too involved with fisticuffs with those adventurers! They've done quite a bit for the town, I feel.
Catena: Oh!! By the way
Elder Goombraum: Even if they're evil or whatever.
Catena: By the way, I almost forgot.
Yoshivala and Merlon are in...
uh
Toadbrook?
Hanging out, doing some remembering.
Maybe you wanna go over there and join the group?
Elder Goombraum: Hm... Well, y'know.
Sure, why not?
Catena: We are going to check the garden and then head to Toadbrook.
Want to come along?
we might get into a fight on the way there but who knows until you try, right
Elder Goombraum: Sure, I'll come along. Let me get some of my bearings settled.
Elder Goombraum walks downstairs slowly.
Elder Goombraum: Goomberton!
Catena: Hey, guys. The Elder's coming with us.
Goomba: Yeah?
Catena: We'll make Old Men Party a reality.
Kreg: Oh, okay
Elder Goombraum: This is a lot of responsibility...
But you're going to be in charge of Boot-Town for awhile.
Let's have a long talk.
Elder Goombraum sits down on the couch with the surprised Goomberton.
Catena: Oh man
I think I didn't a bad thing.
...didn't do a bad thing
but I think I actually did
Elder Goombraum: Why don't you folks go out and take care of some business? I gotta have the talk about boot-house size ordinances.
Kreg: ...right
Catena: Alright.
Catena boots out
Kreg boots down
Shrody exits
Kreg: So uh
The East he said?
Catena: Well, why don't we try digging while we wait?
Kreg: hm
You find a decent place
Catena: hm
Here
This square grass is off puting.
Everything else is round, but this is a square.
The ground seems muddy around the pond.
Kreg: ...Catena I think your fourth wall is breaking
whatever
Catena: NO WALLS ONLY GRASS
Kreg prepares to be dugged
Catena: but wait
can we even...make an attack out of this?
Kreg: Hm.
Maybe if I like
get under them somehow and spin?
Catena: Somehow.
We'll let the cards decide.
Attack the air, I guess!
Kreg: YEAH
Acre: do we need an actual target for this?
Keiki (GM): Out of battle, you don't have to do a macro!
You just... dig around in the dirt.
Kreg does the THING
Catena THINGS
Catena and Kreg successfully dig around in the muddy ground.
Catena: oh wow it was muddy
well you don't need to be clean
Kreg comes up after maybe finding something???
Wizzy: Hm, I need to keep a tracker of how beans I have
I think I currently have 1, pending whatever I find here
Acre: I think we have like four.
Wizzy: Do we?
Kreg finds a bean!
Acre: We dug more than once in the factory.
Maybe.
Wizzy: Yeah I know one of them gave you that... noise badge
Acre: Oh.
OH
Keiki (GM): You definitely have more beans!
Acre: I forgot one key important element.
Two hours of Goomba Village.
Wizzy: ...good
Also hm
Keiki (GM): Let's say it's 5 beans. Sound good?
Wizzy: yeah
Acre: Sure.
Wizzy: lemme just note this in my BACKPACK
Acre: Each bean is an individual item or not?
Keiki (GM): For now, store it in the same slot.
Wizzy: I'm just putting a counter for now, if Cake wants to make it fancier then he can
Keiki (GM): I may!
Catena: Well, we dug a bean.
That's nice.
Wizzy: What in the world are we even going to do with these?
Catena: I think that should be enough time for an old man to talk about boot sizes.
Kreg: Said I.
Catena: We could...make
coffee
Kreg: That's silly.
Catena: and not tea like some doofus I REMEMBER
Kreg: OH ALSO
I do not owe you a soda
Because you said he would be a friend of Merlon AND have a patch for us
Only one of them was true
Catena: I said he has a patch.
not for us
Kreg: Well he doesn't have a patch now does he
Catena: He had it and you cannot prove it was not in his possession when we made the bet.
Kreg: I will meet you halfway and call this a scratch
as in no one owes anyone anything
Catena: you owe me a soda
and I share it
with you
but you buy it
Kreg: okay fine next time you run out of FP I will give you this drink that freezes you
how about that
Goomba: I've been oddly close to you fellows!
Goomba picks up a Goomnut off the ground and starts gnawing on it.
Catena: that's nice
Kreg: ...hi?
Catena: Kreg, shake that tree.
Kreg: ...
Catena: It has nuts.
Kreg SHAKE TREE
Catena: Beans AND buts, what else do you want, man?
WINGS?
...buts
Kreg: buts
Goomba: ... buts
Catena: very nice
Kreg: catena I don't know what you think of me
that's just rude
Catena: The best pal a chomp could ask for.
Kreg: well
Catena: but also a doofus
Kreg: I guess
Kreg shrugs for he is guilty as charged
Catena: GIMME NUTS
Kreg keeps shaking the tree because Catena really needs some nuts
Catena: RAAAAAARGH I WANT NUTS
A low-hanging Goomnut falls from the tree!
Catena catches the nut before it even touches the ground. Somehow.
Acre: also brb
Wizzy: Need to make a campaign note to myself to seek out someone who wants beans
Keiki (GM): I'll go to the bathroom while he's gone!
Acre: b
Catena: Well, I got a nut.
I don't even know if it was a big nut or a small nut or if it was even a nut.
Wizzy: (joke)
Catena: that's nuts
as well as beans
Ha ha ha.
...is the elder done
The elder still isn't out!
Catena: Okay, I take full blame for this.
Kreg: ...
Catena: Let's practice our comedy show.
You be the straight man, I'll be the goof.
Kreg: Okay sure
Catena: Also improv, I guess
well, you start.
Kreg: So Catena how's it going
Catena: Doing fine, waiting for elders to show up.
But, like, you have to wonder
These gooms...are in houses.
Elder Goombraum: You're quite a riot.
Layze: hi hello
Catena: If they are in OH HEY ELDER'S OUT
Layze: I have two questions
1. how late am I
2. why didn't wizzy poke me
Acre: 1. hour and a half late
er
Wizzy: ...uh
...uhm
Acre: technically just an hour
Wizzy: OH MY GOD LOOK BEHIND YOU IT'S AN OLD JOKE
Catena: Anyway
Keiki (GM): Well, youngsters, I packed my bags.
Wizzy: if you makes you feel better it's basically been acre and I, shroob was here earlier but he's gone now
Keiki (GM): Oops.
Wizzy: bye keiki
Keiki (GM): Also, Layze, want in on the action?
Layze: sure
and that doesn't make me feel substantially better because it could have been more than the two of you
Catena: Well, it's time to escort missions.
Acre: We haven't done ANYTHING.
like
Layze: also are we in a village made of kuriboh shoes
Keiki (GM): Yes.
Layze: excellent
Acre: we were just farting around
So don't worry about your story progression
Catena: ...is that wanda
Wanda appears from the nascent warp pipe, apparently deciding to follow Catena, Shrody, and Kreggles.
Kreg: Don't be silly, Wanda wouldn--
(oh my god why)
Catena: Well.
Wanda's here.
Layze: I don't appear to be able to interact with her
Now the only person Brad has to hit on in Toadbrook is Spooker.
Catena: And now with SHrody here...maybe...
uh
what is he doing
kreg, you know aliens more than I do.
Keiki (GM): ... I see Wanda measuring the distance between Goombas.
Layze: yeah
it was important
Kreg: ...uhm
Layze: but also I can't actually move my character pog
and yes, that's with the correct icon
Keiki (GM): Oh!
Kreg: I don't know actually
oh bye wanda
Catena: Well.
Let's just pretend that didn't happen.
Keiki (GM): Fixed it!
Catena: oh hi wanda
Wanda: Ah! Catena! Charlier! Pinky! There you are.
Catena: Well, yeah. Here we are.
What's up?
Kreg: ...it's kreg
Wanda: If I'd had to listen to that talking ham yammer on about football for another second I fear I may have gone mad.
Elder Goombraum: A pirate, a koopa knight, a sorceress, and an alien, all in one place.
Catena: Well, we are talking about beans and nuts.
Wanda: Unfortunately the only escape was to follow you lot, so, well, here I am.
Where are we, exactly?
Catena: Boot-town.
Elder Goombraum: You folks sure you aren't from one of those Jay Arr Pee Gees or something?
Catena: It's a town. With Boots.
we are the JayArrPeeGees.
it's our new band name. I'm the Arr.
Layze: well let's figure this out
catena is obviously the arr
Keiki (GM): This is going to get awful, isn't it
Acre: Kreg is the Gee because he's Greg.
Layze: I was thinking G for ghost
Acre: sure
Layze: and P for pink of course
Kreg: ...
Layze: shroob will be happy to know that he has become pee
Acre: Kreg can be Jay Leno
Layze: yeah there we go
okay mystery solved
back to the dialogue
Kreg has just had his day go terrible
Catena: Well
Elder Goombraum: I take it you folks know each other.
Catena: That's a little bad for you then Wanda.
Layze: are those like huge fuck-off acorns in that tree
Catena: We are going back to Toadbrook.
Wanda: No, we're not.
I forbid it.
Catena: Elder gotta reunite with Elders.
Elder Goombraum: Toadbrook is just off west!
If you're curious.
Kreg: (uh Catena weren't we going to check east for that farm or weren't we)
Catena: (It's to the west)
(so probably on the way)
Kreg: (...was it)
(it was)
Wanda: (I CAN hear you, you idiots)
Catena: (there is no east)
(there has never been an east)
Kreg: (wanda can you stop ruining our private conversation please)
Catena: (since we are all hearing ourselves, why don't we just get a move on)
Wanda: WHAT private conversation? You're standing ten feet apart and talking to each other! I'm right next to you!
Kreg: (but we're whispering)
Wanda: You're not!
Catena: (kreg)
(kreg stop)
(why are we still whispering how am I whispering)
Kreg: look I'm sorry at least she knows your name
she won't even give me that luxury
Catena: Okay.
It's ok, Kreg. I'll remember your name so she doesn't have to.
Wanda: Oh, don't be so glum, Aaron.
So what's this about a farm to investigate?
Kreg: you don't know because you didn't hear
Catena: So get this. There was a bomb in the other group.
Elder Goombraum: Oh, these folks want to see Pogonia. Terra Patches and... I don't recall.
Catena: Named Pogonia.
Wanda: I was literally standing between you when your "whispering" took place.
Catena: They are also collecting the terra patches.
Wanda: And by standing I mean
Well you know.
Elder Goombraum: ... I'm starting to think I trust you less than the other fellers.
Wanda: And why is that?
Catena: I...don't know how you could trust that bullet bill.
Elder Goombraum: If you lead me into a trap, just know! I can sure kick some tail like in the old days.
Kreg: ...
Kreg starts walking
[MUSIC] Edgebrook Highlands
Catena: How about we just
move on, yes.
Off to the west with y'all
Wanda: So who's the old coot, and ARE we leading him into a trap?
I have always wanted a good excuse to try out a rune spell or two...
Catena: He's the Elder of Boot-Town. We're taking him o Merlon.
And no, no traps.
Kreg: Hm
Wanda: Hm.
Catena: kreg
Elder Goombraum opens the gate.
Wanda: This looks...hazardous.
Kreg: ON IT
Kreg DOES THE THIIIIIIIIIIIING
Catena things a thing
Kreg finds a bean!
Catena: Really.
Well, this IS a farm, but.
Wanda digs an X into the ground right here
Kreg: I almost feel like we just took someone's bean
"Argh! I works SO hard..."
A wiggler crawls from over the fence!
Kreg: ...uh oh
Catena: Oh. Hello!
Steev: breaking in to say that I love the new profile pages
Wing-clipped Pogonia: It makes me so mad! You burst in on private property!
Layze: oh wow I totally forgot to check those
yeah these are awesome, damn
Wing-clipped Pogonia: And you just... dig around! In valuable gardens!
Catena: Is it private?
Kreg: ... but
there wasn't a sign
or anything
Elder Goombraum: Uh-oh, Pogonia's mad now. I'm just gonna do something else now guys.
Wanda: Hold on now, I believe I can be of assistance here.
Catena: Wait
Steev: (guys don't worry this guy is a chump just smash her garden and it'll be fine)
Catena: Is she Pogonia?
Uh
Wanda sets fire to everything in the immediate area, including the fence
Wanda: There. No more garden.
Let's go.
Kreg: WANDA
Catena: She IS also a butterfly
Kreg: WHAT THE HELL
Catena: ...without wings
...
Wing-clipped Pogonia runs steam through her ears.
Catena: I'll pretend teh garden was not just burned down.
Wing-clipped Pogonia: I won't let this happen again!
Kreg: THERE IS BEING RUDE
Keiki (GM): Roll for initiative!

Acre: Nice collateral damage
Kreg: ...
Steev: make her a Chikin
Wing-clipped Pogonia takes some burn damage!
Wing-clipped Pogonia: Oof! You're some kinda tough!
Catena: You really brought us into this
Wing-clipped Pogonia releases some spores!
Kreg: Look I was perfectly willing to talk
but SOMEONE had to go and be a bitch
Wanda: Well that's not nice.
She was only protecting her garden.
Acre: nice loops btw
Steev: Wow Kreg
That's no way to talk to a lady
Wing-clipped Pogonia changes her mind.

Steev: the tattle log, info, you outdid yourself
Acre: You made us proud, Cake.
Kreg: I'm really sorry this all happened
Can we just... go?
Shrody proceeds to tell his friends that HP is 30, FP is 15, Attack is 4, and Defense is 0.
Pogonia is a local Flutter Wiggler that had her wings cut, but has a nasty assortment of Nipper Plants at her disposal.
Kreg: ...nipper plants, great
Added to the journal!
Catena: You're more concerned about the nipper plants than the fact she had her wings cut?
But maybe SOME bomb?
Layze: just wanna point out
her garden is on fire
SHE'S on fire
catena just ran up and took a fucking bite out of her
and kreg is still just trying to talk her down
Wizzy: Kreg just kinda feels sorry for her right now
Acre: well the garden fire was never canon
Wizzy: because she's kinda obviously outmatched
Layze: and now it is
see
Acre: was
Wing-clipped Pogonia: ... Fine. I give.
Catena: Okay, we gotta put out the fire.
Not only because I don't think is necessary
Kreg: Wanda you wouldn't happen to know any water or ice spells would you
Catena: but also because we are in middle of a fire.
Wing-clipped Pogonia: However... I think this pyromaniac hussy needs to sit out on these negotiations.
Catena: Duly noted.
Kreg: I agree.
Wanda: Hold on, perhaps I can salvage the situation.
Catena: No.
Go away.
Unless you want to put out the fire, don't.
Wanda: I recently managed to discern a bit of magic from the ramblings of a madman, I think it will improve this situation for everyone.
Wanda casts Panichikinurtz Ω on Pogonia
Kreg: That does not sound healthy
I...
Catena: ...
CAN WE
PrinceShroob: Hi
Catena: NOT
Wanda: There we are!
Dinner, anybody?
Kreg: WANDA
Chikin: ... Bok!
Wanda: I just recently mastered a level 7 herb and spice spell.
Catena: ...
PrinceShroob: Cake, can you change the map to the garden for me please?
Catena: why
Kreg: I
I DON'T
Catena: Kreg, just throw dirt at the fire.
Kreg: afds;ji
Catena: I would but YOU SEE, NO ARMS
Wanda: But then what else will we cook with?
Catena: Shrody help too
NO COOKING
Shrody: Uh...
Layze: oh my god did steev really leave right when I did that
Kreg: WANDA UNDO THAT RIGHT NOW
Layze: that was my magnum opus
can't have people walking out on my show
jeez
PrinceShroob: Quick question, can I call a small number of UFO's to drop water all over the garden?
Wanda: Honestly I'm not sure how.
Kreg: WELL
FIGURE IT OUT
Catena: Why would you deliberately start a fire next to a forest?
Wanda: Transformative magic is a bit tricky, even for a spellweaver such as myself.
PrinceShroob: Caaaaaaaaake
Answer me please.
Catena: dirt it up
Keiki (GM): They can! Sure.
Kreg is thiiiiiiiiiiiis close to just flat out belting Wanda
Wanda: Oh don't bother.
If we really don't want the fire I can put it out just fine.
Chikin runs off!
[MUSIC] Edgebrook Highlands
Catena: no wait
...
Well.
Shrody tries to call over some UFO's to come by and drop water on the garden
Wanda: Hold on, let me see if I can remember this spell...
Ah, here we are.
Kreg: now I wish we had just beaten her up
Catena: I wanted her to stop being a chicken. So I could ask her about her missing wings.
Kreg: then she would've at least lost and not forced into... that
Catena: And maybe figure something out.
Wanda casts a spell, and a cloud of liquid nitrogren descends over the garden, quelching the flames but assuring that nothing will ever grow in this area again
Wanda: There we are.
Shrody: ...dammit, Wanda.
Kreg: ...
Catena: ...SO WE ARE PRETTY TRUSTWORTHY, ELDER
Wanda: What? The fire's out.
Shroobish UFO's fly on by, noticing the lack of flames.
Shrody: (I need to get a Silence mode on my Ray Gun.)
Elder Goombraum: Have your little talk with Pogonia yet?
Catena: Yes.
Shrody: My UFO's were JUST ABOUT to help put out the fire WITHOUT MAKING NOTHING ABLE TO GROW IN THIS GARDEN!!
Elder Goombraum: I think she might have been with that group.
Kreg: ...
Catena: She was sorry and left.
She was not the bomb I was talking to.
er about
BUT
Shrody: Wait, you know what? I just remembered!
Kreg broke
Shrody silences Wanda with his symbols!
Catena: That bomb cut Pogonia's wings and...yeah.
Wanda is silenced over the immense sound of the symbols!
Catena: I don't think they are that trustworthy.
Wizzy: ...shroob aren't those "cymbals"
Shrody: Probably.
Acre: they are totally symbols
PrinceShroob: Pretend I was the one who said that.
Keiki (GM): ... I can't believe I made that too.
I even recognized it.
Catena: Yes, Shrody. They are probably bad guys.
Elder, let's just move on.
Wanda is no longer silenced!
Wanda: Hmph.
Nobody appreciates talent these days.
Keiki (GM): ... Anyway, I think this is a good place to end the "sesh"
Well.
Shrody: People appreciate talent just fine. It's ruining other people's livelihoods that people have a problem with.
Wizzy: kreg is so livid he cannot speak
yes this is great time to finish
Acre: but we never got to the city

Lord Fast II: Wayward travelers... Hear my plight!
Kreg: ...
Layze: WHAT COULD THIS MYSTERIOUS TRAVELER NEED

Lord Fast II: I was naught but a benevolent man. But alas...
Acre: who even are you?
Lord Fast II: My castle toppled over!
Catena: said I
Lord Fast II: I am Lord... Vast. Lord Vast!
Acre: also two hours of whatever super paper mario music this is
Shrody: Lord Fast. Got it.
Catena: Vast.
PrinceShroob: I wanna say Chapter 2-1.
Kreg: why are you asking us
Shrody: That's what I said. Fast.
Kreg: please don't ask us
Lord Fast II: I hate to beg... But any generosity is accepted.
Could any of you perchance spare a hundred coin?
Kreg: look
do you see what happened to that garden right there
farm
whatever
Shrody: If you're a Lord, then what do you need money for?
Catena: I don't think we even have a hundred coins.
Kreg: if you ask her for help that is what you're asking for
i hope you know that now
good day
Wanda: I got us out of the garden, I eased diplomatic relations, and I put out a wildfire.
I was plenty helpful.
Now, then, Lord Vast.
Shrody: You destroyed the garden, turned an innocent into a turkey, and destroyed the garden!
You were the opposite of helpful!
Wanda: I'm afraid I don't have a coin to spare, but perhaps we can offer you help in some other way?
Lord Fast II: If you pay me 100 coins... I shall pay you back tenfold. That is my offer. For I have a new goal in life...
I wish to make money.
Catena: Well
Wanda: Hm...
Elder Goombraum: ... Do I recognize you?
Wanda: In that case, perhaps I can spare the change.
Lord Fast II: I am Lord Vast!

PrinceShroob: Okay, can you please tell me about Lord Fast now since I tattled him?
Lord Fast II: What is your names?
Wizzy: layze can you please you actual words and not shorthand that'd be nice
Wanda: Ah, yes, well, I'm Wanda, one of the world's greatest adepts in the magic arts.
Lord Vast is a weird guy that puts Shrody off. Maybe he's just a weird merchant type.
Wanda: And these are my squires.

Lord Fast II: Have a bag with a green thing printed on it.
I think it's a bag for tiny chubby boomerangs.
Catena: Is that a...bean?
Well, you found a bean sack.
Wanda: Ah, a bean bag.
Catena: Or bean bag.
Lord Fast II: Thank you so much. I shall be on my way!

Keiki (GM): GG kids GG.
