Dungeon Maestro (GM): Let's go ahead and begin. I think this is as good as we're going to get!
Catena: I sure do love this new bean bag.
Wizzy: 2 hours of Rainbow Castle etcetc
Kreg: ...what new bean bag
Catena: The... the one Wanda paid a ridiculous fortune for!
Spooker: I don't remember what I've been doing ^.^
Layze: wanda donated money to a lord fallen on hard times and he gave us a bean bag
The party arrives from a short trot out of the Edgebrook Highlands. It wasn't so eventful besides a confrontation with a wingless Wiggler.
[MUSIC] Toadbrook
Wizzy: I know that but Kreg doesn't
Don't you remember? The bean bag.
oh wait you stormed off
ok
RIght.
Wanda paid some peasant 100 coins.
Catena: In return he gave her a cool bag with a bean on it.
Very cool.
Shrody: I still think Wanda got scammed.
Wanda: How dare you call him a peasant?
How could I have been scammed?
Catena: He was begging for coins.
We could see it from where we were standing.
Kreg: Wanda do you seriously have a split-personality or something
what the hell
Shrody: Why would he need coins if he's rich enough to have a castle?
Catena: If that was /really/ his castle he should've applied for a reverse mortgage.
Wanda: Even the best of us need a leg up sometimes!
Well, no.
Elder Goombraum: I dunno. Lord Vast seemed like a charming little boy.
The second best of us, though!
Where have you been?
Ops
Spooker: I have no idea ^.^
Spooker: Probably nowhere important though
Probably just got distracted by my amazing mustache
see
Catena: So your ship is still there, huh.
Shrody examines his ship yet again.
Layze: cake I can't move wanda again
Spooker: Maybe they don't have any way to move it
Dungeon Maestro (GM): You can now!
Spooker: I've never seen any construction vehicles ever, come to think of it... <.>
Elder Goombraum: ... Ah. That looks like Merlon's tent, the gaudy little git.
Catena: I see that football guy is still checking out troubles. What a kind and helpful citizen.
Shrody: I just wish I could somehow repair this thing. UFO's aren't exactly cheap, you know.
Kreg: Er... yeah that's Merlon's tebt
The ship seems to be in disrepair, with caution tape surrounding it.
Catena: When was the last time you saw Merlon?
Shrody doesn't have the know-how to repair it, but a specialist in the astrological disrepair.
Spooker pulls an overly sized wrench out of his mouth
Spooker: I bet I can fix it!
Elder Goombraum heads to see Merlong.
Kreg: Did you try turning it off and on again?
Shrody: Get anywhere near my ship with that thing, and I'll be very cross with you.
Catena: Maybe Merlon knows what to do.
Wanda: Oh, move aside, this is nothing a simple repair spell can't fix.
Spooker: Cross? Ah... like the X-Nauts?
Kreg: Yeah let's just go visit Merlon
Dungeon Maestro (GM): You want a hand at fixing it, Spooker?
Shrody silences Wanda before she does something
Spooker: Yes, voice in my head! ^.^!
Dungeon Maestro (GM): Smarts check, son.
Kreg enters Merlon's hutterino
Zap: How do I do that again?
Dungeon Maestro (GM): Just do (smarts)d6>4. With the /r thing.
Dungeon Maestro (GM): That could work too.
Spooker: Just gonna target Shroby I guess
Zap: That was not suppose to be from Spooker
Zap uses Smarts on Wanda!
Zap: rolling 5d6>4
= 0 Successes
Spooker fucked up even more then suual
Also I missed apprently
Wizzy: You know that's actually pretty skillful not gonna lie
Spooker succeeds at whacking the ship multiple times with a wrench.
Layze: wanda's gonna attempt a ~repair spell~
Now it most likely really needs an actual specialist.
Spooker: This works in the vidoe games Lady Bow doesn't like me playing ^.^
Shrody mutes Wanda with the cymbals.
Wanda: rolling 8d6>4
= 4 Successes
Layze: or shroob can just be a cock that works too
Shrody is the best cymbals player.
Dungeon Maestro (GM): Go inside the tent?
Dungeon Maestro (GM): Wizzy's been waiting I think.
Wizzy: Hey man I got dinner to eat, no skin off my teeth, etc
Zap: I thought it was nose
Merlon: ... I think I'm going to need a bigger tent.
Spooker: It is crowded in here <.>
Merlon: Fancy seeing the troupe again.
Spooker: I am randomly reminded, has anyone done a groundpound in here before?
Catena: Catching up with your old friends?
Merlon: Yes! I thank you a lot, Catena, for not just returning Yoshivala, but Goombraum, too!
Goombraum grumbles about Merlon not returning snail mails.
Merlon: You've proven to be a nice chomp.
Catena: I have been inspired by my crabs.
Merlon: Anyway... I suppose you lot have business here.
You want to know where the third Terra Quilt Patch is!
Spooker: Have we really only collected two so far? @_@
Wanda: Catena, please keep your health problems to yourself.
Merlon: I've done research while you were away... And this one baffles me.
Kreg: We had some alright detours but I wanna go somewhere truly new now!
Shrody: Wanda absolutely killed a garden.
Wanda: It is now a blight upon the land.
Merlon waves his hand at the moral conflict.
Catena: And then donated 100 coins.
The karma evens out.
Wanda: Life will never begin there again in the history of this world.
Shrody: More like karma was getting back at here for being scammed.
*her
Shrody: Also that sentence made no sense.
Wanda: The forces of heaven and Earth cannot more thoroughly destroy a plot of land than I did.
Shrody: ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE, OKAY!?
Merlon presses his fingers against his ball, and it glistens with gold.
Kreg: The less I am remin--ooooooh
Merlon: This next patch baffles me, truthfully.
Merlon: I detect it is below sea level.
what
Catena: ...That's... great.
Wanda: Who'd have thought that something could ever be under water???
Spooker: Maybe we'll be eaten by a whale ^.^
Merlon: But geographically speaking... You could say it's right here in Toadbrook!
Catena: Sidestepper can go in my place.
Shrody: ...are any of us able to breathe underwater?
Wait you're not saying
Wanda: The odds that four macguffins spread to the corners of the earth wouldn't all land on the 30% of it that is land is just mind-blowing.
Kreg: There's ruins under this city are there?
Or maybe it's lost in the sewers?
Catena: Do we have to go through the sewers again?
Wanda: I am not going through the sewers again.
Merlon: Maybe... But this is deep, deep underground. Under even the sewers.
Catena: Maybe if we ask nicely we can trade this information for the patch Goombraum gave away.
Kreg: I would rather not give anything to them, not gonna lie
Merlon: It may be possible to get there via the sewers. I... foresee the possibility.
Catena: How do we solve the breathing problem though?
Kreg: Maybe there's an express elevator down that we can take.
Wanda: Breathing problem?
Merlon: I've heard legends of catacombs that stretch far beneath the sewers. A town that preceded Toadbrook by many millenia.
Wanda: What breathing problem?
Everyone knows you can breathe just fine underwater.
Shrody: Maybe if you're a ghost that probably doesn't need to breathe in the first place!
Merlon: I think the data is deceiving, though...
Catena: Why do you say that?
Wanda: Yes, it is a fact that I am inherently superior to you all.
Merlon: I'm not sure if there's water that deep down. There may be, there may not be.
Wanda: But I've never heard of anyone complaining about breathing underwater.
Why, I hear there's an entire village at the bottom of the lake over in world 4.
Guess there's only one way to find out, right?
Shrody: A village of fish, maybe!
Spooker: That sounds delicious!
Merlon: But beneath the craggy hide of the earth... I see a round palace that glistens gold.
Catena: Sounds like... treasure.
Merlon: It may not be as forlorn as the ruins around it would lead you to believe...
Kreg: Is there anyone in town who'd know more about these ruins?
Wanda: It's just a matter of finding the most efficient spot in the town to construct a planet-breaching drill.
We'll need about 400 metric tons of titanium and a lot of immigrant workers.
Merlon: I suspect the bourgeois of the town may have some secret knowledge.
Catena: That's... the coin district right?
Wanda: You mean there may already BE a drill?
Merlon: I'd have my money on the Star district.
Spooker: Isn't that exploitation Wanda?
Wanda: Oh my, four whole syllables, congratulations Spooker.
Kreg: Well, I think I know where I'm going!
Who's with me?
The images of the ball fade away, and Merlon pulls his hand away.
Wanda: Ah, Kreg, I'm glad you've volunteered.
Catena: Just one second, Kreg.
Wanda: I think we should start with a crust analysis at the center of town and spiral out from there
Kreg: But I wanna go to this Star District!
Catena: Merlon, there's something else I'd like to ask.
Wanda: Somewhere should have a sufficiently weak structure to begin drilling.
Kreg is completely ignoring Wanda bt the by
Layze: shit I called him kreg
brb comitting sudoku
Catena: Do you know how this shroob might go about fixing his ship just outside your tent?
Like the kind I was going to do,
Merlon: Hm... I know of someone. However...
Spooker: I'm still pretty sure if I hit it with this wrench enough times it'll get fixed
Merlon: I have my doubts about his intentions.
Kreg: Spooker I don't think that's how anything works
Wanda: Oh, Shrody, does your ship's power core still function?
Catena: There you go, Shrody. You now have a lead.
Wanda: It may be useful for the drill.
Catena: Let's go to the star district.
Merlon: I don't think that's how anything but NES's work!
Zap: Anyone got a star sprite to use?
Kreg: Uh Merlon I think you forgot an 'S'
It's "SNES", not "NES"
Dungeon Maestro (GM): (you must be level 8 to use the next one)
Wait, level 6.
Merlon: Is there anything else you require?
Catena: I'm good. Thank you Merlon!
Zap: Most of us are level 6 right?
Merlon: I think you lot are strapped to go.
Kreg: Not that I can think of! Let's get moving guys!
Spooker: Also no one answered me before
Dungeon Maestro (GM): Yep! It's on your character sheets if you are or not.
Spooker: Anyone ever groundpound in here before?
Wizzy: Everyone but Brad is level 6
poor Brad
Catena: Well... we can drill I guess?
You wanna drill Merlon's nice carpet?
Merlon: Ground pound my... what? Of course not.
Spooker: It has to be a groundpound or it won't work
Wanda: Don't tire yourself out now, boys.
Kreg: Why would you drill a tent?
Wanda: There will be plenty of drilling soon.
Catena: Maybe there's tent beans.
Wanda: I'll go set to laying the groundwork.
Kreg: Also we don't "drill"...
I think.
So why's Wanda running off?
Zap: I guess my reference wasn't remembered by anyone
Sad pandas
Wanda leaves the tend and goes to the town center to start working on her drill
Layze: yes groundpound in merlon's house to get the ultra stone hilarious
Merlon: Only Mario remembered that reference.
Zap: Being a dick is entirely unnecessary layze
Unless it's in character anyway
Spooker: That makes sense to me, lets go
Spooker: I have no idea where I'm going ^.^
Kreg: Where's the Star District again?
Catena: I... think up here somewhere.
Kreg: Catena I guess you know?
That's one ugly shy guy.
Dungeon Maestro (GM): Knock on the door.
Kreg: wow that's kind of rude
Catena knocks on the door.
Kreg: Catena what have I told you about being rude
Toadbrook Conductor runs into Wanda.
Toadbrook Conductor: Oof!
Wanda: Ouch! Watch where you're going!
Toadbrook Conductor: Sorry. Making some renovations here to the trainstation!
Wanda: Renovations, you say?
Toadbrook Conductor: Got bought by a fancy new company.
Wanda: Does that mean you have earthmoving equipment standing by?
Toadbrook Conductor: No! We have a tailors working 24/7 to make me new uniforms.
... I don't think anything's actually changed about the train station, in all actuality.
Wanda: Wh...That's not what renovations are!
Hmph. Useless.
Toadbrook Conductor: At most, maybe we have some interior decorators.
Wanda: Anyway I'll need to borrow your train engine.
Toadbrook Conductor: Need an interior decorator?
Wanda: It's for important hero work,
Or maybe villain.
Toadbrook Conductor: ... What
Wanda: To tell you the truth I'm not really sure what we're doing.
Toadbrook Conductor: ... I think that's a good reason not to give you a train engine, missy!
Wanda: Well I need to power my giant drill SOMEHOW.
The shroob isn't letting me touch his stuff so I'll need the steam engine.
PrinceShroob: Okay, I'm back.
What's going on?
Dungeon Maestro (GM): Catena wants to go to the Star District, via the northern hills
Ake: Shrody now knows that Merlon has a clue about his ship but Merlon doesn't trust him.
Dungeon Maestro (GM): Which... I don't know
Wizzy: Kreg is wondering why we aren't asking first where the district even is
and Wanda is... this
Catena: Hey, ugly shy guy.
Layze: and wanda is trying to get a steam engine
RUDE
Catena: Where's the various districts in this town?
Shin: ... I sorta recognize you.
Oh. It's arranged in like, a square.
PrinceShroob: Why doesn't Merlon trust Shrody?
Catena: Oh hey not-ugly shy guy.
I guess
Dungeon Maestro (GM): That's not what I meant by that statement, but feel free to interpret it that way!
...
wait
what
Shin: To the east is the Star District.
PrinceShroob: I'm just going by what Akey said.
Shin: To the south is the Coin District.
Shin: Oh, and where you're currently standing? This is the Mushroom District!
... For future reference...
So let's NOT go North and in--...
Shin: These places are marked by... Well, were marked by these giant stone... carving... things.
Kreg: where did our party go
Shin: What's the word? I don't recall.
Catena: So this is the Shroob district.
Zap: Merlon doesn't trust the person who might be able to repair the ship, his intentions might not be entirely good
Shin: Yes, this is the Shroob-- wait no.
Catena: The stone carving is kind of destroyed by that ship there.
Shin: But yeah. This is where you are right now!
Catena: So the star district is that way.
Cool.
Catena where did Wanda go?
As much as I can't stand her personality her magic prowess is pretty nice.
Catena: Doing Wanda things probably.
Burning houses down or something.
Ops
Zyme Guy: Hot old witches. Win. >_>
Spooker: Talking to that train toad
thought I heard something terrible
What'd you say?
Catena: I think the ugly shy guy just spoke.
Let's move on.
Dungeon Maestro (GM): Head to the Star District?
Kreg: HEY WANDA WE ARE GOING OVER HERE NOW PLEASE FOLLOW OKAY
positive response
PrinceShroob: layze's afk, btw.
PrinceShroob: Oh, now she isn't.
Catena heads to Star District!
Walking over the bridges gives a posh feeling.
Wanda: Ah, the star district!
Look at all those posh buildings.
Wanda: Hopefully someone here will be willing to fund my project.
Kreg: ...so uh, where do we even start?
Dungeon Maestro (GM): There's Parliament, the Block Museum, Shine Shaman, and of course, random NPC's about.
Zap: Browser about to explode
Catena: Maybe we should ask the parliament?
Dungeon Maestro (GM): Going to the bathroom real quick!
Kreg: You do that, I wanna go to the block museum!
Kreg: ...what? I like blocks.
Wanda: They should be able to provide funding.
We'll just have to make clear the importance of this project.
Shrody: Oh, I'm sure they'll perfectly understand how "important" your project is.
Layze: man I don't care what I gotta do
this drill is happening
Dungeon Maestro (GM): Alright, back!
So let's see. One party wants to go to Parliament.
The other wants the Block Museum.
Wizzy: Kreg wants to see if the museum is open because I love giving my characters museum weaknesses
Toadbrook Gentleman: Blah. Oh, hello there, sir Koopa.
The Museum was cleared of any gambling charges.
Toadbrook Gentleman: It's open to the public once more!
Spooker: Blocks are fun ^.^
Toadbrook Gentleman: Kreg and and Catena, roll d20's!
Oops.
WHY
Zap: I am going insane from the music
Send help
Kreg: oh wait this is probably just order of resolution never mind
Kreg HAS AN INTROSPECTIVE MOMENT
Do you know about some long lost secret ruins deep beneath Toadbrook?
Sidestepper: IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
Wanda: Gentlemen, please don't pay any attention to what my subordinate is blathering about.
One toad seems to shuffle in his seat, while the rest are clueless.
Wanda: I'm come to seek government funding for an urgent matter.
Toadbrook Gentleman: Ah, a government project. What do you request?
Wanda: You see, it has come to my attention that an enormous store of material and historical value is buried deep beneath this city.
And the same also contains an item that is important to our heroic quest of some kind.
Catena: ...You'll save a lot of tax coins just telling us anything you know.
Wanda: I'll need funding to build a giant drill that can tunnel down and locate this temple.
Catena: Don't fund this girl.
Wanda: Catena, please, the grown-ups are talking.
Sidestepper: THE ONLY GROWN-UP HERE IS ME, MISSY
The Parliament looks around.
Sidestepper: SHOW SOME RESPECT
Toadbrook Gentleman: Well. This might seem promising, at least. Have any evidence?
Catena: The nice man in the tent said so.
Wanda: Yes, my discovery is backed by the great wizard Merlon himself!
He's found evidence of the ruin, all we need do is dig it up.
Dungeon Maestro (GM): Coolness check!
Sidestepper attempts to use SO COOL!
Sidestepper knows about timed hits!
Sidestepper: rolling 6d6>4
= 1 Successes
Wanda: rolling 10d6>4
= 6 Successes
Wizzy: How cool IS Wanda?
Wizzy: Catena we will have to work on your coolness
you have just doomed us
Sidestepper: SORRY RANDOM VOICE
Toadbrook Gentleman: Y'know, I was against it, but... This doesn't sound so bad.
Toadbrook Gentleman: We could pool up some money for a drill, what do you say, guys?
Toadbrook Gentleman: All in favor...
A resonant "aye" fills the room.
Argh!
PrinceShroob: The aye's have it!
PrinceShroob: Also, only horses go nay.
Toadbrook Gentleman: Four ayes and an arf. It's passed.
You should receive some government notes, soon. Keep your eyes posted on the mailbox!
Wanda: Thank you, gentlemen!
I bid you good day.
Zap: If Spooker were there he would point out that an even number of people would allow for a tie to happen
Layze: it's fine catena was the tiebreaker and he said arf
MEANWHILE BACK AT THE RANCH
Spooker: So many blocks! ^.^!
Kolorado: Hello! Welcome to the block museum!
Spooker: Oh, oh! Musical note block!
Kolorado: Many blocks throughout the ages await you in here!
IT'S AN HONOR
Spooker: Also hiya Kolorado
Kolorado: Oho, I am merely an interim curator.
I do it not for money, but for the good of history.
Shrody: ...Who the hell is Kolorado?
Kreg: Sir I'm sure your wife is worried again.
Kolorado: I am Kolorado. Kolorado Jones Koopa.
Kreg: He's a pretty big deal in my hometown!
After all, he's our biggest claim to fame!
...right behind Kooper!
Kolorado: Oh, you're from Koopa Village?! Ah... You
were Kreg. I thought I recognized that sterling beak!
It's been quite a while, sir.
Kolorado: It has. Anyway...
Feel free to look around and hit blocks at your leisure. They don't give you items, but they will tell you where they're from.
Spooker: Oh, Kooper... that sounds kinda familiar...
Spooker hits the musical note block
Kreg hits this one on the left
Shrody examines the large metal block sitting on the floor.
The musical note block hails from Super Mario Bros. 3. In it, the legendary Mario would use it to reach new heights.
Zap: Over half the party is dicking around, the other half is failing to put us on the right path, and the last is trying to drill a giant hole in the ground
Kreg hits the block. It turns into a television screen showing Mario and Luigi hitting blocks in various mini-games, by hitting it back and forth. Apparently these were done to get more coins.
Zap: We're so good at this
Layze: she's not "trying" any more
Kolorado: Oh, that's an Ultra Metal Block.
you can't stop it
Shrody: This block is different from the others.
Unlike the others, this one doesn't defy gravity.
Kolorado: It's basically a huge obstacle that needed an Ultra weapon to beat it, commonly an Ultra Hammer.
Layze: I bet Brad could smash that thing with a headbutt
brad is my hero
rip brad
what
Spooker: Oh, that sounds like fun!
Dungeon Maestro (GM): Wanda and Brad could have had bro attacks.
Spooker hits the block too
Dungeon Maestro (GM): Like slapping Wanda's ass at the club
Layze: I'm not sure I like that
Spooker saves his progress!
Kreg: ...uh, Mr. Kolorado
What does this "saving" even do?
PrinceShroob: That would be Shrody's notp.
Kolorado: On some adventures on electronic consoles, you required to save the game before turning it off.
Layze: kreg makes himself immortal, doesn't even realize it
Kolorado: THey're a rarity at the moment due to some material shortages. Maybe they'll return to the field.
Spooker: Makes sense to me ^.^
Kolorado: So what brought you lot to the museum?
Shrody shoots the block with his ray gun!
Kreg: I just like museums!
Kreg attempts to hit this semi-invisible block
Shrody does not save his progress. It bounces harmlessly off.
Wizzy: I guess we took all the save slots already :v
Layze: I don't think it's invisible
just teh same color as the floor
PrinceShroob: Hence the "semi" in "semi-invisible"
It's a Treasure Chest Block! These came from Super Mario RPG, on the SNES. They took a more RPG-ish look, and gave away nice goodies like armor and frog coins.
Spooker hits the blue block
Layze: and then the district collapsed
Shrody: Relax. Kolorado said none of these blocks do anything when hit.
A small tremor occurs, and Kreg is flipped over!
DAMN
IT
Kolorado: Always hated that block...
Shrody: Dammit, why is there a working POW Block in a museum?!
Spooker: I thought he said none of them did anything
Kreg: GOOD THING MY SPIKES CAN'T STICK INTO THIS FLOOR
I HAD IT HAPPEN ONCE
IT SUCKED
Layze: ahaha kolorado got flipped too
Kolorado: That one's just for show. I suppose the museum architects thought it would be more authentic... Pah.
Spooker helps Kreg back on his feet
Spooker helps Kalorado back up
Kreg: All Koopas hate that block.
All of them
Zap: Typing is apprently really hard
God damnit
Toadbrook Lady walks in and scoffs when she sees other patrons inside.
Toadbrook Lady: (This was supposed to be a slow day...)
Kreg: Well I'm glad that event is over
Hey look, we got another guest!
Hi lady!
Toadbrook Lady looks Kreg over for a second and then leaves without saying a word.
A-anyway...
Wonder why that keeps happening.
Kreg: What keeps happening?
Kolorado: Mysterious patrons.
Kolorado: They come in, sneak around, and then just... leave.
Kreg: There's not a secret passage around here, is there?
Kolorado: If there is, I don't know about it. I'm interim!
Shrody: Hmm...Maybe if all but Spooker and another one of us left, then Spooker made the other invisible, we might find out what their deal is.
Kolorado: There was someone else that ran this museum before me... jolly fellow, rather large, had glasses.
Kolorado: That might be able to work, actually.
Well, do what you need to!
Spooker: I dunno, do you think another person would come in so soon after one left? <.>
Kolorado: My passion, it lies with... blocks.
Hey Spooker, make me invisible!
I wanna get down to the bottom of this!
Layze: guys please stop trying to derail the drill plan
Shrody: We should probably leave now, Kolorado.
Toadbrook Bob-omb opens the glass door, holding it open for a lady toad.
Toadbrook Bob-omb tips his top hat.
Toadbrook Bob-omb: M'lady.
Kreg still remains silent and still
Toadbrook Bob-omb: (Oh great, we can finally do this.)
Toadbrook Lady: (I dunno... The Koopa guy is eying us... Let's be discreet.)
Toadbrook Bob-omb: (I'll show you discreet.)
Wow. What does this block do?
Toadbrook Bob-omb hits the POW Block!
PrinceShroob: Okay, maybe leaving Kreg there was a bad idea.
Kolorado: Oof... What a real kidder...
Kreg ... doesn't get flipped over because he's invisible you dorks
Toadbrook Lady pulls a handle.
PrinceShroob: Oh right, Paper Mario logic means invisible means intangible.
The pair head into the ladder.
PrinceShroob: INTRIGUING!!
Kreg waits until the block goes back then immediately helps Kolorado up
Spooker: Well that was easy!
Kolorado: Oof. That wasn't pleasant though.
Kreg: Well, at least we know now WHY they left that POW block in order.
What absolute racists.
Kolorado: Where did the patrons go?
After the flipped you over, they pulled a hidden lever
revealed a secret ladder, and went down it
Kolorado: By Jove's Jelectros!
Secret passages! This tickles my sense of adventure!
... No where was this lever?
Spooker goes to get Shroby
Shrody: So what's the scoop?
Kreg finds the lever again
Spooker: Secret passage under the big block here!
Thought there was something odd about this block.
Kolorado: Great find, Kreg.
Shrody: Guess we should go down the ladder now?
Kolorado picks up a coins and tosses it down.
Kolorado listens for it to hit the ground.
Kolorado pulls back and shakes his head.
Kolorado: Must go down a fair way.
hm
As interesting as this is, I just have to wonder if Catena and Wanda are done by now.
Shrody: But it's a secret ladder! You can't just discover a secret ladder and then not go down it!
Spooker: Ya, we should group up first!
Kreg: That... is very true, the secret force is strong.
Look
Spooker: It's not like it'll go anywhere!
Kreg: One of you go find the others
One of you come with me down this ladder.
Dungeon Maestro (GM): Group up then?
Spooker touches his nonexistant nose
she's wholly entrenched in the drill plan
PrinceShroob: ...Not it for what? Going down the ladder, or finding the others?
Wizzy: telling the others I'd presume
Catena would probably want to go if he knew.
Dungeon Maestro (GM): So Catena would come, but not Wanda?
Spooker: For going to find the others
Shrody: Bah, find, I'll go get Wanda and Catena.
*fine
Wizzy: So I guess Spooker and Kreg will go down the ladder first while Shrody goes to get only Catena and Wanda will just float off to do Wanda things
Wizzy: ...how would a chain chomp even climb a ladder, anyway?
I am here!
What a lovely block museum!
Layze: just push him down the hole
he'll get there one way or another
Kreg: Check out this ladder!
Kreg: We're going down it!
You first.
[MUSIC] Toadbrook Sewers
Kreg VALIANTLY GOES FIRST
Spooker floats gently down because based boo
Wizzy: 2 hours of Peach's Castle Sewers etc
The passageway is very dark.
Catena: After you my dear Kreg.
Spooker: Jinx you owm me a soda! ^.^!
owe*
Layze: everyone pick a block
Shrody hits the left yellow block
wait
this is empty isn't it
Kreg's block shatters away, as does Catena's!
Catena: This was a very enlightening experience.
Catena: We have embraced the nothingness as bros.
Shrody finds
25 coins, while Spooker finds
20 coins!
Catena: I feel a deeper bond with you now.
Kreg: What an odd thing to embrace.
Layze: takes skill to lose at a lottery that tells you which cards will lose
ONWARD!
Spooker: Hey Kreg, do you want half of mine?
First!
hm
Catena: I think we should throw Sidestepper.
Kreg: I was gonna suggest throwing me, but that works too!
Catena: I like that better.
Shrody: Or I could try shooting my gun at the switch.
Sidestepper: WHAT'D I EVER DO TO YA PAL
Kreg: ...that also works!
Catena: That sounds safest.
Shrody fires his Ray Gun at the switch.
Spooker: But what if the button disintegrates?
Catena: Then we continue down the ladder.
Kreg: Oh I'm sure it won't.
Shrody: It's not a disintegration ray, Spooker.
Kreg: Switches are made of impervium, you know.
Spooker: Oh, what kind is it then? >.>?
Shrody shot first. A platform descends from the ceiling!
Shrody hits the shine block
Sorry, guess we should've discussed first.
No problem!
We can trade
We're reasonable
...most of us anyway.
ANYWAY ADVENTURE!
Layze: who are you talking about
the only non-reasonable one isn't there
Catena: I sure do love mysterious ladders!
Catena: They remind me of this treehouse I had as a kid. This was a very important part of my childhood.
Shrody: They're so...mysterious. And bound to have lots of treasure in them!
This is the first you've noted of it!
Catena: You see, the treehouse was shaped like a pirate ship.
It was... life changing.
Layze: dude what the hell
Kreg: That's actually pretty cool.
Layze: I want a treepirateship
Catena: ...This totally would be connected to the star district.
Shrody: ...Okay, when I was wondering why a couple of classy looking people were doing going down the ladder, this is NOT what I expected at all.
Spooker: I don't like it here
Layze: do I not get to see :<
The group opens a door and ends up in a dark, strange cave of some kind.
Kreg: I... think we found our under city ruins.
Zap: Super Mario Bros the movie flashbacks
Catena: I smell a bean here!
Did I just see a pirate gho--
Dungeon Maestro (GM): Hold on a sec!
PrinceShroob: layze, you're not with us right now. Why would you get to see what's going on?
Some Gloombas are hanging around.
that's fine you'll all be mad jelly when wanda comes erupting through the ceiling with a giant drill
Shrody: So what's with all the writing on the walls?
Catena: Look at this strange marking on the road.
Kreg: That's graffiti, Shroob
Shrody
Spooker: How do people even get up that high to paint? <.>
Shrody: Uh...Sorry, that word's not in my vocabulary.
Illegal painting on property
Gloomba: Hey I see you walk past us.
Kreg: I feel like we're in a bad neighborhood by the way
Gloomba: You look like surface dwellers.
Kreg: ..."surface dwellers"
Shrody: Technically, I'm a cosmos dweller.
Kreg: Well that does describe us yeah
Gloomba: We see you posh types... forget your bodyguards?
Spooker: I try not to dwell on anything, getting hung up on the past makes you not be able to look to the future ^.^
Shrody tries to pick up a general power level reading on Gloomba.
Kreg: We're actually secret agents sent to investigate illegal gambling.
Shrody tries to pick up a general power level reading on Paragoomba.
Catena: You'd think Kreg would look like a body guard.
Shrody tries to pick up a general power level reading on Spiked Goomba.
Gloomba: You know what happens when you let your purses jingle this far in the deeps.
Not to be rude but do you REALLY think you can take us?
I mean, I'm covered in armor. And Spikes.
Catena: You're looking pretty bite-sized.
Kreg: Catena here is a giant metal ball. With spiky teeth.
We have a ghost.
Spooker: They don't look tasty though ;.;
Kreg: And Shrody here is an alien.
WITH A RAY GUN.
Some Puffs pop out of a window and descend from above.
PrinceShroob: in a stereotypical alien voice TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER!
It had to be Puffs.
Layze: those puffs were HUGE
Ruff Puff: Ooh, look at these newbloods running into the wrong side of town!
Spooker: I've never tasted a cloud before
Kreg: whispering to groups Not gonna lie, wish we had our eccentric lightning cannon right now...
Kreg: ...huh, surrounding text in * does that
is cool
Gloomba: Hey, back off from our prey, or you'll make like Huff n' Puff.
Catena: We'll stomp these chicken nuggets into the ground.
GUYS INTO THIS DOOR
Spooker: Hey, Huff n Puff was cool
The door opens, but someone from behind pulls it back shut!
Spooker: That was a good try
Kreg: LOOK WE'RE GONNA GET MUGGED HERE
LET US IN
Catena: So, these puffs friends of yours?
... "Fine, whatever, just get in here!"
Dungeon Maestro (GM): End of session for now!
Dungeon Maestro (GM): I think that's a good stopping place.
Zap: I bet we totally went into a map that doesn't exist anymore
I mean yet
PrinceShroob: BUT WHAT ABOUT WANDA???
[MUSIC] Theme of Love
Layze: bet you fuckers wish you had a giant drill machine now, huh
PrinceShroob: Not really.
Somewhere at a table in a soda bar, a Wanda wistfully waits for government notes.
Wizzy: Why the hell do I still know the words to this song
Zyme Guy: ... Wow, its her >_>
I should say a good howdie-do >_>
Zyme Guy nervously clears his throat.
Wanda tosses a fireball over her shoulder
Zyme Guy: Hey... I bet your non-existant feet smell... damn hot>_>
Zyme Guy is ignited by a wayward fireball.
Zyme Guy: No! Zyme Tyme is over >_>
Zyme Guy promptly leaves.
