The group continues to wail on the prone Grodus head. The hits continue until the Yuxes collapse to the ground, unactivated -- perhaps signifying the shutdown of the CruXis Defense System.
[MUSIC] Y-Casino
Sidestepper: WOE, MY CRAB ARMY HAS DISBANDED.
Lord Crump: Whoa guys! I... I think we got 'em.
Blitzin' Brad does a rad touchdown dance
Blitzin' Brad: GOOD GAME SON GOOD GAME
Blitzin' Brad slaps Grodus on the back, since there's no apparent ass
Grodus: Eugh... You could have had it all, Crump.
Lord Crump: Buh! Buh! Buh huh huh huh! Some motivation coming from a bodyless chump like you.
I like... make my own future! And stuff.
Lord Crump turns to the group.
Lord Crump: So uh. The reason I couldn't give you that patch earlier...
Lord Crump begins fumbling around with the computer.
Kreg: ...please don't tell me you
Keiki (GM): (Also someone remind Layze, I think she's just idling or osmething)
Keiki (GM): Oh! You are here, envermind
You'd idled in here this entire week
Zap: layze can't do anything, which explains the silence
Keiki (GM): You were just in this Roll20 every day, probably on a different computer or something
no there's a glitch that makes that happen
I once had a guy in a session for a month
PrinceShroob: Or maybe someone hacked layze's account!
Lord Crump: Ah! Here it is.
Blitzin' Brad: Right here, bro.
Towel me.
Kreg: Brad it's not a towel
that's gross
Lord Crump pulls out the Cavern Patch, which had been crudely jammed into a CD drive.
Catena: ...Who put that in there?
Lord Crump poses, and then leaps over to Blitzin' Brad.
Spooker: Technology is amazing
Lord Crump slaps Blitzin' Brad on the ass with the Cavern Patch.
Blitzin' Brad grabs the patch, rolling it up and snapping it at Shrody's ass, just like in the locker room in high school.
GOOD GAME SON
Kreg: THAT IS A SACRED ARTIFACT
Lord Crump: Good game! Buh!
Catena: ...I'm not carrying that.
The party has gained the Cavern Patch! They may now use the Cavern Patch ability: Safeguard!
Blitzin' Brad: Don't worry bros. I got the safest place in the world to keep this.
The maximum amount of Wish Points the group can hold is now 3!
Blitzin' Brad: It's like an inpenetrable fortress.
Blitzin' Brad stuffs the patch into his cup.
Blitzin' Brad then takes a sip from his cup
Blitzin' Brad: Nobody takin' my mug
This my favorite cup
Blitzin' Brad proceeds to geologically form caverns, if you know what I mean.
Blitzin' Brad: ALRIGHT SONS, LET'S GET GONE
A small group enters the room!
Where's Wanda?
Catena: Is she on Kreg's head?
Kreg: Or at least should be still
Blitzin' Brad: We're not leaving her bro, calm down.
Blitzin' Brad: Fruity breathing shit, man
Kreg: Well okay yeah I have her hat
I guess
on my head
I LIED ALL ALONG WANDA'S HAT IS ON MY HEAD
Catena: Your sword's as shiny as ever.
Wanda is currently Kreg's Sorting Hat.
Kreg: (No wonder it's constantly shouting nonsense names at me)
Saiya: I see you have defeated the upper echelons of the Y-naut forces and reconciled with them.
Saiya: ... In addition, it seems you have bested the vile ghost sorceress and taken her hat as a trophy.
Spooker: Use easier to understand words please <.>;
Saiya: I salute you in your wise decision.
Blitzin' Brad: Doitashimashite, bro-kun
Kreg wants to refute this but the words are not forming
You leaving?
Saiya: As my inside word has come to tell, something was amiss here. What happened?
Kreg: Catena you explain it
It was p. cool.
I had a lot of crabs.
Catena: Then we got a piece of material that Brad put in questionable places.
Saiya: I... could tell as much went down.
Blitzin' Brad: Don't worry bro, it's safe
Spooker: Also he has a new hat!
Saiya: Will you cause us trouble anymore?
Catena: We don't exactly have a reason to?
We were hired.
Catena: I don't really care.
Since I guess he's in charge now
Lord Crump: Uh... Man, do I really have to speak for myself?
Lord Crump: Grodus bad man. He made me do it.
Catena: Sounds like we're all good then.
That's deep
Shrody: C'mon dude, that was lame.
Layze: the most impenetrable defemse
"wasn't me!"
Blitzin' Brad: Don't listen to Shrody he's dressed like a fruit
Spooker: Fruit where cloths?
Lord Crump: For real! That's my defense.
My defense is deep. Win.
Blitzin' Brad: But that's okay bro, B-rad always needs cheerleaders
Shrody: A fruit that you had no problem hitting on, apparently.
Lord Crump: I'm probably looking to get into the tissue business. Honest!
Blitzin' Brad: Bro, B-rad slaps all the asses.
Don't feel special because you're in a dress.
Catena: Maybe you can repurpose the factory in Toadbrook.
Kreg: ...a tissue factory?
Lord Crump: No way. That place has a terrible ghost.
Blitzin' Brad: A cup factory
Catena: Ghosts will be your best customers!
Spooker: There wasn't ever an actual ghost was there? <.>
Kreg: In fact you would say that the ghost
is SNOT a problem
Lord Crump: ... Fine. Maybe it sounds great after all. I like the idea of selling tissues to wailing ghosts.
Blitzin' Brad: HAHAHAHAHAH SNOT
GOOD ONE BRO
HIGH FIVE
Kreg attempts to use to save face!!
Kreg knows about timed hits!
Kreg: rolling 8d6>4
= 4 Successes
Layze: you might also say it was an easy Mystery to solve ooooooooo
Who.
I mean who.
Bullion: Hey, you folk- oh whoa.
Bullion: You folks didn't happen upon one of them Terra Whickeys did you?
Bullion: I got my stuff taken away because of them there gamblin' debts.
I don't reckon I care much for the material things...
Catena: Don't gamble, kids.
Bullion: But that patch...
Catena: Where did you get it?
Bullion: Ol' friend had it.
Gave it to me. I don't cotton to rememberin' how long it was.
A friend named Merlon.
Say.
Kreg: You should go visit him
Catena: You should come with us to Toadbrook!
Maybe he'll have another one for you.
Bullion: Merlon's there? Oh sure, I'd be dandy.
Catena: Wanna ride in my hat?
Bullion: Heehaw! We should go!
Blitzin' Brad: Nah bro not the hat
I got a safer place
Bullion: I've always wanted to sail.
... What's the safer place? I want to sail!
Blitzin' Brad: HOIST THE MAST, LADDIES
Blitzin' Brad opens his shell up
Catena: ...You can do that?
Bullion: Nope nope nope nope.
Bullion hops into Catena's hat.
Bullion: Set sail, me boys.
Blitzin' Brad closes the trunk
Spooker: Wait, train or boat? <.>?
Or...
Kreg: Spooker don't worry about it
Spooker: Trainboat also works
behind you
a shiny
Kreg: oh wait that's just the yux
Spooker: And they just taste like machines
Kreg: I think we're done here
Spooker: Which don't taste good
Catena: Let's go get Wanda.
Blitzin' Brad: ALRIGHT SON, LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE (B)ROAD
MOVE OUT KIDS
Meanwhile, Wanda has been unconsciously making her way to a slot machine, hatless.
Spooker: Man, that shield thing is really in the way of the door
Wizzy: (whoa Cake I didn't realize the backpack got redone again, nice)
Spooker: Who architectured this room?
Blitzin' Brad: Right? Fire hazard for sure, bro
Y-naut Techie: Ma'am... are you alright?
And why does your head look so... naked?
Zap: We should really get it straight what happens to boos when they faint
Keiki (GM): Oh yeah. I just went with it because I found Wanda's token there.
I'm not sure if Layze's paying attention, so. Group time!
Catena: Sorry about the trouble here.
Y-naut Techie: Oh... Uh, I guess it's alright. Our defense system might have been going haywire or something.
They all shutdown right now.
Is this your friend?
...You could say.
Shrody: "Friend" is a strong word.
Y-naut Techie: Looks like she's an incontinent mist/bald ghost.
Blitzin' Brad: We're all bros here, bro
Catena: I kinda want to take her and go, but she might want to gamble?
Spooker: Gambling is dumb
Catena: Anyone want to drag her to the forest/nature area?
Y-naut Techie: Don't worry. I'll give her my lucky slap!
Catena: ...that works too.
Y-naut Techie smacks the incontinent mist on the back of the non-existant head.
Blitzin' Brad: YEAH BRO GOOD GAME
Blitzin' Brad slaps the techie's ass
STRONG FORM
Wanda wakes up with 1 HP!
A-Rank Wanda: oh boy according to the dropdown I can also speak as SUPER WANDA
PrinceShroob: A-Rank Wanda?
Wizzy: don't worry about it
Catena: Anyone want to spend y-coins while still here?
Keiki (GM): 3 y-coins for Cake Mix, 6 for a Super Shroom.
Shrody: I don't think we can.
Catena gives Kreg a y-coin.
Kreg: We might as well spend them while we're here though, considering I don't think we'll be back
oh yay
Layze: Wanda buys three cake mixes in case of emergency
X-bombomb temporarily opens up the exchange booth.
Shrody: Hello, scary bomb thing.

Wizzy: cake I hope to god you fleshed this all out
PrinceShroob: Well, layze got two peaches, and that gives 10 Y-coins. I wonder what three Shrooms will give you.
Keiki (GM): Wanda just got 80 Y-coins.
Layze: what's the most expensive thing I can get from the exchange
Zap: How much was the patch originally?
PrinceShroob: What can you even get for 80 Y-coins?
Layze: I asked what the most expensive thing I can get is, nerd
Zap: Looks like we should've just gambled to victory with odds like this XD
Wizzy: layze is just getting lucky imo
Zap: don't think I realized three coins got three rows
I don't*
Power Aplenty - 30
Super Wish - 30
Multistrike - 50
HP Plus - 80
FP Plus - 80
Layze: Power Aplenty doesn't appear to be on the badge list, what's that do?
It's there I'm just blind
Catena: "Enhance an attack to hit at full Power."
Keiki (GM): In GBRP1, it adds 2 to an attack.
Keiki (GM): That's the GBRP2 function it will have. It's more of a guide for starting badges really!
Out of curiosity what's the 500-coin item
I don't think I'm actually going to waste everyone's time like that but
Catena: Can we gamble out-of-session later?
Keiki (GM): The Money Money badge!
Keiki (GM): Or three gold bars.
Layze: yeah CAN we just gamble after the session
actually, nah
Keiki (GM): Want to just hold onto those 80 coins? Or would you like to spend them?
Layze: Wanda buys a Multistrike, which she tosses to Catena, and a Power Aplenty, which she tosses to Brad
Kreg: ...wow Wanda, why so generous?
Wanda: You two seem like you could use these. Maybe now you'll actually pull your wait in a fight.
Blitzin' Brad: Bro bro dude bro!
PrinceShroob: Catena already has a Multistrike.
oh
in that case she gives both to Brad
Keiki (GM): Brad receives the badges.
Bullion: Dagnabbit, I want to sail!
Zap: I like how Brad is one of the more OP characters here XD
Bullion: Not stay here gamblin'.
Catena: Sorry, sorry! Let' go.
Spooker: Onward, to adventure!
^.^!
Catena gives Wanda a mushroom.
Catena: Maybe you'll feel a little better.
Kreg: Let's just go back now!
Wanda waits until nobody's looking and then eats the mushroom
Spooker: Should we tell that one guy we're not dead?
Catena: You're very fuzzy, mole.
Wanda: Now then, everyone back up the China hole.
Catena: Maybe we should return the dresses.
Bullion: Oh look, a ladder!
We probably SHOULD give him the dress back
Right Shrody?
A ladder is present where it wasn't before.
Wanda incinerates the dress
Catena ascends ladder with mole friend!
PrinceShroob: I am no dufe, I'll assure you!
Kreg: ...well I guess we won't go see him Spooker
Shrody ascends to a higher place. By which I mean the surface.
Wanda just kinda...floats...up the ladder
The group ends up in the Toadbrook Mushroom District square.
[MUSIC] Toadbrook
Catena: I'm going to drop this fuzzball at Merlon's.
Bullion: My, it's so bright...
Catena: We came up a hole.
Nice hole.
Shrody examines his ship once more
Shrody: Sure wish I could fix this.
The ship seems about in as disrepair as ever.
Kreg goes to Merlon too because he wants to know what to do next
Merlon: Ah, you've returned! And... is that...?
Catena plunks down the fuzzball.
Wizzy: Cake help I can't see anything
Wizzy: please turn on the lights
Catena: Us chomps naturally have darkvision.
Sucks to be you.
Bullion and Merlon have the gayest embrace.
PrinceShroob: I'VE GONE BLIND! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Keiki (GM): Is it really dark? I keep doing the mouse thing.
Keiki (GM): Did it work now?
... That was weird.
Wizzy: It wasn't the mouse thing it's just the fog of war wasn't clearing
for some reason
Merlon: Bullion! ... It's been so long... We'll have to chat. But later.
There is something I must chat with you guys about.
Merlon: There's been a... rather confusing development with the location of the Terra Patches.
They've... vanished.
what
I thought Catena and I cleared up that vision though!
Catena: Do we have to fight culite again?
Merlon: I suspected someone was gathering Terra Patches themselves...
Shrody: The shiitake do you mean they "vanished!"
Merlon: Someone has gathered three Terra Patches, and then just... disappeared.
Wanda: Have you considered that perhaps you're just getting older? Vision looks to be the only thing you still have, I'm not surprised you're losing it.
Shrody: Do we look disappeared to you, Catena?
Catena: Maybe the cup really is that safe.
Shrody: It was most likely that other group with the cute bob-omb.
Elder Goombraum: I actually gave a Terra Patch to a group of adventurers quite awhile ago.
Kreg: Are there any others?
Catena: And how do bob-ombs just disappear?
Elder Goombraum: But they had the intention of defeating Mario with it.
you told us yes
Elder Goombraum: ... Dunno what happened afterward.
Wanda: Ugh, you gave a patch to that cantankerous wretch and her cronies?
Wanda: Buy a dictionary, Henry.
Merlon: Maybe it's my visions telling me of the one true patch. But I can't explain this strange... anamoly in my vision.
Shrody: Don't be so hard on yourself, Wanda.
Merlon: There is one Terra Patch remaining that I see.
Blitzin' Brad: Whoa, Brody, sick burn
HIGH FIVE
Kreg: ...and the other group is racing for it, aren't they
Merlon: This one might actually be the hardest to get of the eight patches.
Catena: With location-concealing technology.
Shrody sighs, then half-heartedly gives Brad a high five. Or tries to, anyways, since he only has two fingers.
Catena: Maybe we should give up now.
Blitzin' Brad has finally been noticed by senpai
Wanda: Where is it? I will not allow that vile hag to lay a finger on what's rightfully ours!
Blitzin' Brad cries manly tears of joy
Keiki (GM): Holy shit it finally happened
Kreg: Catena don't you EVER give up
it's not good
Layze: brad wanda won some badges for you
it came with her accusing you of previously being shit at fighting so don't get too excited
PrinceShroob: the irony here is choking me figuratively
Cody C.: d'awwww that was super sweet of you! did you get yourself anythi-oh
Merlon: There is a seventh patch that I... vaguely know the whereabouts of. But I will take care of it when the time comes.
Catena: What about the eighth patch?
Wanda: NO! You tell us where it is NOW!
Merlon: But this eighth patch... It will be your hardest challenge.
Up north, lays a great temple... the Celestial Sanctum!
PrinceShroob: Sounds spacey.
Shrody: Pretend I said that.
Kreg: ...that sounds pretty awesome actually
How do we get there?
Isn't the north kind of a freezing cold kind of place?
Wear some clothes.
Merlon: Yes... I understand the cold is just about your worst enemy, Shrody, but...
Merlon: You can make it. I think you can make this journey.
Though you may find it to be a tad... discomforting.
Blitzin' Brad: Don't worry bro, B-rad knows how to knit. I'll make you a warm as heck woolly cup.
Shrody: I'll need to cover a lot more than what your people call a "crotch", Brad!
Blitzin' Brad: S-senpai called me by name
Merlon: You will go up through the Spiny Pines. There, you will find a friend of mine, Pennington.
Catena: Oh fun, more friends!
Merlon: He alone holds authority over who enters the Celestial Sanctum.
Kreg: I guess we'll have to see what he wants then
Merlon: There isn't much options beside that to enter the Celestial Sanctum.
Pennington lives up north in Penguin's Slide with his daughter!
Er. Grandaughter.
Spooker: Yay penguins ^.^
Wanda: Pennington? As in...the detective, Pennington?
Kreg: I... though he just wrote things
Shrody: Before anything else though, me and...Wanda, I think, need to use our Shine Sprites to rank up.
Merlon: You folks might need to prepare in kind.
Also, Spooker...
Blitzin' Brad: And I gotta make a rad-ass parka for my bro here
Merlon: You seem to hold your head low.
It's almost as if you've been afflicted with... the bad juju, as they call it.
He doesn't HAVE anything to hold his head!
He is nothing BUT a had!
Merlon: And that had can just kinda... look downward.
I guess I have been noticing something off though <.>
Merlon: Have you been feeling down on your luck?
Frustrated?
No, we're leaving.
Wanda: We don't want whatever this coot is selling us.
PrinceShroob: Oh damn, he's talking about how Zap/Spooker is always getting crappy rolls.
Wanda: Spooker, no. Don't listen to him.
Kreg: Wanda just hear him out jeeze
Blitzin' Brad: Hey Wanda, we need all bros on point.
Merlon: ... I sense a spiritual presence around you, Spooker!
Blitzin' Brad: Spooker, bro, you good?
Shrody: Wanda, you trusted some scammer prince with a 100 coins. Merlon is much more tru-and she's gone now.
Spooker: So what's this about a spirit or something?
Merlon: You may have been cursed.
By the bad mojo spirits.
Layze: should've returned the slab
Merlon: Perhaps you broke something? Didn't return the slab?
Spooker: I do break a lot of things on accident... <.>
PrinceShroob: Spooker didn't do anything with a slab, did he?
Spooker: But I always apologize ;~;
Merlon: It's a mystery what it is. But you might need to find whatever it is that's haunting you!
Merlon looks into his crystal ball.
Kreg: Spooker did you pick something odd up recently?
Spooker: I pick up a lot of odd things
Merlon: Be on the lookout for a mojo stick.
Spooker: And try to eat a lot of odd things
Roughly equally
Merlon: I sense it is in... Spiny Pines.
Spooker: Mojo? Like the monkey?
Kreg: ...Spooker what does that even mean
Merlon: ... Yeah. Yeah! Like the uh, monkey.
I think I got it
Merlon: You'll need to find a way to settle things with it.
... How you do that, I'll leave it up to you! And, well, the spirit.
Spooker: I'm guessing eatting it isn't the right thing to do
Shrody: (Is it weird that I'm much more tolerable of Spooker's stupidity than Brad's?)
Kreg: Wait so we're supposed to argue with a stick?
...what?
Shrody: So where is this Spiny Pines, anyways?
Merlon: Spiny Pines are up north, past the inn and Shin's Emporium.
Now go. Go and prepare!
Spooker: Do we take pipes? Or a train? Or magical carpet ride?
Catena: I think we just kinda walk.
Merlon: Looks like you're hoofing it.
Catena: ...or bounce. Or float.
Kreg: I think I've got a purchase to make myself
Let's go, guys.
Thanks, Merlon!
Keiki (GM): Where are you guys wanting to go?
Catena: Have fun with your fuzzy friend.
Catena follows Kreg wherever
Keiki (GM): I understand Shrody and Wanda want to go upgrade.
Layze: Wanda's gonna go turn in her shine
Wizzy: Kreg's going to Smithy's shop to see if he can purchase an upgraded shell
Zap: I dunno if I care to buy anything at the moment
PrinceShroob: Yeah, that.
Keiki (GM): I think I'll do that first.
Wizzy: I'm giving up on the wings any time soon
Layze: And assuming it costs 40 coins or less, I want that upgraded spellbook from Smithy's place
Cody C.: Brad's going with Kreg I guess
Wanda and Shrody find themselves at the Shine Shaman.
Zap: I should look into using up my four BP I am not using
Shine Shaman: Ah... I see two shining students before me.
I sense you have already received great power before.
Shall I show you more of the light's power?
As long as you both have a shine sprite... I can make that power true.
Wizzy: also 2 hours of blahblahblah
(jokes)
Shine Shaman takes the shine from Shrody.
Shine Shaman: It is time.
Shine Shaman activates his crystal shine ball.
Shine Shaman: Shiney winey, brighty light...
A Shroob stands before me... SHRODY!
Ancient spirits of the sprites...
GIVE SHRODY MIGHT!
Wizzy: I just noticed the shaman is a Pianta, that's great
Shrody has upgraded to an A-rank!
Zap: I need like 5 more BP so I can get the other two lucky badges
Shrody has gained 5 HP, 10 FP, and 3 BP!
PrinceShroob: ...Yes Wizzy. He is a Pianta.
Shrody has taken Special Attack Sampler Platter!
Shrody learns Brainwash and Shroob Invasion!
Layze: wow, it IS a pianta

Keiki (GM): You now have an animated .gif profile image, son
PrinceShroob: ...Did you seriously not know?
oh my goooood
PrinceShroob: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Shine Shaman: ... I see we have one more.
Layze: tbh this is the first time I've ever seen the shaman
Cody C.: oh my god it's amazing
PrinceShroob: THAT IS SO AWESOME!!
Layze: I usually miss the sessions where we do this
PrinceShroob: Okay, fair enough.
Zap: Too OP, nerf now, Cake plz
Wanda: Yes, hello. Yes, yes, great power, yadda yadda.
Move it along.
Shine Shaman: Quite impatient, you seem...
But, moving on.
Wanda: Your hut reeks of celery.
Zap: I missed every other one too
Shine Shaman: Shiney winey, brighty light...
A Dark Boo stands before me... WANDA!
Ancient spirits of the sprites...
GIVE WANDA MIGHT!
Wanda feels the power of the A-rank!
Wanda gains 5 HP, 10 FP, and 3 BP!
Wanda learns a new ability: Special Attack Sampler Platter!
Wanda learns Crystal and Boolocity!
PrinceShroob: "Shrinks an opponent, halving its power."
Wanda: You've got to be kidding me!
PrinceShroob: ...For Shrink Quake?
cake ilu
Keiki (GM): Haven't got the description yet!
Keiki (GM): Thanks to both of you!
Okay, that's out of the way.
Where are you two going to go?
Layze: everyone go look at wanda's new profile pic it's amazing
PrinceShroob: Does Smithy have new weapons now?
Keiki (GM): ... Not really!
Layze: and yeah I'm going to go get that upgraded spell book and try to sell my current one
PrinceShroob: What about the badge shop?
Wizzy: awww Acre wanted Catena to give all his coins to Kreg for his wings
that's adorable
Keiki (GM): ... Also not really!
Keiki (GM): Oh shit, is that happening? Here we go.
Wizzy: How many does he have?
PrinceShroob: Wait, since when were there stuff on the right?
new stock and all that
Zap: I wanna get a Pretty Lucky Badge if possible
Ake: Oh whoops, didn't even notice Acre gave suggestions.
PrinceShroob: DAMMIT, THIS IS WHAT I MEAN WHEN I ASKED IF SMITHY HAD NEW WEAPONS!!
Wizzy: At least you did the first thing Ake
Layze: These were definitely here before
Wizzy: I mean, the old man party was pretty obvious
Layze: ...Or maybe that's just when i was sitting in on group 1's session
SHRUG
Wizzy: Last time I was here it was blank so
Keiki (GM): I don't remember how long it's been since you guys have been here.
But these have been here!
Catena: I hear you want wings.
Wanda: Excuse me, warmonger, why does one of the items in your shop appear to be trying to rend my soul from this plane?
Catena: I'm feeling generous today.
...But.
...
Kreg: I'm still halfway short
Catena: ...I really like your Quartz Charm.
Zap: I have 188 coins, wow
[MUSIC] Smithy's Shop
Mr. Smithy: Why hello you weapon-loving friends!
I see one of my favorites is in here once again.
Shrody: Hey Smithy, what are these weapons on the right here?
Or left. I guess they would be on your left.
Mr. Smithy: Those are my special selection items.
Wanda: I am almost certain that touching this would be akin to meeting oblivion...
Wanda: Oh Spooker, come here for a moment!
Kreg: I appreciate the thought but
Wanda: Come touch this shiny thing.
Kreg: I'll get them later
Catena: The rest of your coins aaand a hat.
Mr. Smithy: I have the Strawberry Shortblade, the Legendary Football, the Umbrella, the Boomerang, the Arm Cannon, and the Totally Awesome Feels Good Man badge! Or something like that.
Wanda: I'll just be waaay over here while you do.
Go on, now!
Blitzin' Brad: ...someone say FOOTBALL
Wanda: See? Totally Awesome Feels Good Man badge!
You should definitely touch it
Shrody: Welp, no points for guessing what Brad wants.
Wanda: If anything should happen you can rest in peace knowing it didn't happen to me.
Kreg: I don't think our group really needs a Koopa who's trying to do everything at once
Kreg: Besides, have you ever seen a flying Koopa with spikes?
Spooker touches the item that's worth 200 coins, whatever it is
Catena plops down coins anyway.
Wizzy: How many coins is that anyway
Mr. Smithy: Hoo, are you sure the Koopa wants it?
It's 300 coins for the wings.
Catena: I will give you 131 coins exactly.
The badge glows purple, but otherwise does nothing.
Kreg: ...are you just GIVING them to me, Catena?
Spooker: It matches my ears
Kreg: I really can't accept that
Shrody: So...what does this badge do?
Wanda: Now then, warmonger, while my companion examines that clearly evil item in the corner...
Mr. Smithy: How noble of you, Kreg!
Catena: Do flying bro stuff.
Wanda: I would like to offer you a deal!
Mr. Smithy: See, this is why you're my favorite customer.
Hm?
Wanda: This book is a relic of the ancient magikoopa library, unearthed by yours truly over 100 years ago.
And I would like to sell it to YOU for the low, low price of 50 coins!
Mr. Smithy holds his hand up.
Mr. Smithy: Heard that one.
Mr. Smithy: Oh, _your_ book?
I could probably take it off your hands, but I wouldn't go higher than 15 coins.
Wanda: This is a HISTORICAL RELIC!
20 coins.
Shrody: Wait, we can sell our old weapons here?
Kreg: I don't see why not
Mr. Smithy: For a few coins, of course.
Blitzin' Brad: Bruh, books are for NERDS
Kreg: If he can't sell them, scrap I guess?
Mr. Smithy: I buy the basic stuff for 15 coins.
Shrody: In that case, I would like to sell my old Ray Gun.
Blitzin' Brad: Does this big rad-weapon dude look like a NERD
Mr. Smithy: Ooh, Shroob technology.
Wanda: This is not "basic" by any means! Sir, I don't think you're listening to me.
Mr. Smithy scruffs around his beard.
Mr. Smithy: 15 coins for you, Shrooby-boy!
Mr. Smithy: Well, no. I'm not.
Fine.
Here's 40 coins and the NIGH-PRICELESS RELIC that you are robbing me of.
I'd like that other book in the corner.
Mr. Smithy: A
fine trade!
Mr. Smithy reaches for the book and gives it to Wanda.
Mr. Smithy: Careful, it may burn! Or something.
Wanda: Thank you, books being flamable is a new concept to me.
Anyway Mr. Smithy, what do you have for shells?
Catena: Not going to buy your wings?
Layze: buy the wings you dork
Mr. Smithy: That's an upgraded +1 Red Koopatroll shell. And, well... It's spiky, +2 Defense, and -1 Speed.
Kreg: Hm, would've preferred grey...
Shrody: Dammit Kreg, just take the damn wings. That way, you won't be left totally helpless whenever an earthquake strikes.
Kreg: Well, I guess my party's spoken for me
Kreg: Catena, if you would
BRO
THEM PIPES
OH MY GOD MY EARS
Kreg: I guess I'll be taken those wings after all
Blitzin' Brad: IT'S LIKE THEY'RE FULL OF JOY
Catena looks at his 131 coins on the floor.
Mr. Smithy squeals with excitement.
Mr. Smithy pulls out... a shell with rocket wings on it.
Kreg picks them up and hands them over
Blitzin' Brad: Hey big tough, not nerdy dude
Blitzin' Brad: You got any warm threads
For my man Shrody here
Mr. Smithy: I went a bit overboard, maybe. But I think you'll like it.
Shrody: Dammit, Shroobs are supposed to induce pain and suffering when they sing! I COMPLETELY FAIL AS A SHROOB!!
sob
Wizzy: In other words I would like to know the stats of this shell
and also if it has spikes, that is very important
Layze: guys kreg gets the next shine
it's mandatory
I need to see animated rocket shell
The shell seems to be almost identical to his old shell. Smithy has been examining your specifications. He sure knows a 300 coin customer when he sees one.
Ake: I can't wait to see animated Brad.
However, some rockets with... axes on them are attached.
DUDE
this is a fine piece of work
Layze: dude that fukkkkin icon
Kreg hands the money over
Layze: wizzy you almost refused to get that
Mr. Smithy brings a tear to his eye.
Mr. Smithy: It has been an honor doing business with you, sir.
Wizzy: tbf I didn't expect Catena to just pull all that money out of nowhere
Mr. Smithy: I would love to have you in... in... my very own Smithy Gang.
Wanda: Well James, I have to admit, the look suits you.
I see you are on a grand quest.
Blitzin' Brad: Brütal Kreg
Mr. Smithy: Perhaps if you buy more weapons, I would consider it.
Blitzin' Brad: Just brütal
Zap: I think it might have been said, but what's the green thing in the upper right?
Layze: crystal ball or something
Keiki (GM): It's a Static Orb! Ranged, +1
Might stun but probably won't
Zap: Not too helpful then
Spooker will continue to hoard all the money
Kreg: This will take a bit of getting used to though
Not used to flying, and all that.
PrinceShroob: Did Brad buy the football yet?
Kreg can now Power Shell in mid-air!
Layze: that should also do more damage
Blitzin' Brad: And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Layze: since it involves AXES
Blitzin' Brad: 'til touchdown brings Kreg back again to find
he's not the man we think he is at hom
oh no
no
no
he's a ROCKETMAN
Kreg: I'M A ROCKET MAAAAAAAAAN
ROCKET MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
Blitzin' Brad: BURNIN OUT THIS FUSE OUT HERE ALONE
Kreg: Anyway, thanks again, Mr. Smithy!
[MUSIC] Toadbrook
Kreg then spends the next ten minutes or so outside getting used to this jetpack
Keiki (GM): Anything else? I think Spooker wanted Pretty Lucky?
Catena: ..I want to go to the block museum.
Kreg: Sounds like a plan, Catena!
Keiki (GM): I'll just say it's 75 coins.
Spooker: The block museam is awesome ^.^
Zap: Sounds good, I'll buy it and equip it
Gotta become that dodge tank
And relying on speed wasn't going to work
Wizzy: Well hey that's why I'm gonna rely on defense myself
I'll become a flying fortress!
Keiki (GM): It gives you about 10% chance to dodge any attack
Wizzy: Because those always end up well
Yeah.
Layze: just watch out for catapult turtles
Zap: Oh, that's pretty lousy
What other badges are there?
Zap: Can I take that back?
Keiki (GM): That's not too bad! You don't even have to actively dodge.
Ake: That sounds good on top of the dodge bonus.
Keiki (GM): Even spells and stuff. But I guess you can take it back!
Ake: I mean dodge roll successes I guess.
Wizzy: Don't worry, if I'm the one rolling attacks that means it's roughly a 50/50
:v
Zap: I guess Spooker doesn't care much for money anyway, I'll get it, but I kinda feel it won't be much help <.>;
It'll help at some point
and then you'll realize "man what a good buy that was"
Layze: spooker don't much care for money
money can't buy him luck
Cody C.: CAN'T BUY HIM LUUUUUUUUCK
Layze: I think I botched that line
oh well
Catena bounces over to the block museum!
Kreg clumsily hovers behind
Zap: Oh, is the session gonna be over once we're done dicking around?
Cody C.: you got a date or something
It doesn't even look like Group 1 is on a Terra Patch's trail.
Zap: I like knowing what I'm going to be doing
How are things?
Spooker: I don't think I noticed this place before... <.>
Blitzin' Brad: This place looks like it's for total SQUARE
squares
hah
GETTIT
ALRIGHT YEAH
A note is on the door Spooker is looking at. "Out at the moment! -Bae T.
Shrody: I'm sure he hears that joke every day.
Keiki (GM): I'd like to keep going if at all possible.
Spooker: I do not know which pun this Toad's name is suppose to be invoking <.>
Blitzin' Brad: Where can we find Master Bae T?
really
Kolorado: Oh sorry! Got caught up in the moment.
Sorry to inform you, but uh... the Block Museum is closed again.
figured
Catena: Are you out of work?
Kolorado: This time, probably for real.
Nope! I've got a nagging wife at home. That's work enough, old chap.
Blitzin' Brad: Women am I right?
Can't live with 'em
Blitzin' Brad: pass the beer nuts
Catena pulls out Mysteeerious urn
Catena: Tell me more about this mysteeerious urn.
Kreg: wait I thought I had that
well whatever
Kolorado inspects the urn closely.
Kolorado: I'd have to do more research, but...
Layze: I like to imagine Catena just opened his mouth and just kinda rolled that out onto his tongue
PrinceShroob: For all we know, that urn is good for nothing but selling for a hefty profit.
Layze: like looking into the Cave of Wonders
PrinceShroob: I wonder if that's actually an option, come to think of it.
Kolorado: It appears this is less of an urn, and more of an artifact of worship!
Kolorado: I think it used to contain some ashes, maybe.
Kolorado: Seems they're all gone though.
Kolorado: See, you can tell by the pockmarks on the inside.
Cody C.: just wait until it ends up flying, and brad catches it and spikes it on the ground as part of a touchdown dance
Wanda: Damn, I should've tried to sell the book to him...
PrinceShroob: ...Was Wanda's hat always on fire?
Catena: Could you do more research on it? Or maybe have any leads or something?
Wizzy: no it wasn't, it is now though
Layze: for sake of argument let's say it was
just an eternal flame at the brim of her hat that she never seems to notice
Wizzy: and then kreg had that on at some point
fantastic
Layze: it's a magic fire, if you wear that hat you don't actually notice it
everyone else notices it but just doesn't want to say anything
Blitzin' Brad: Anyway bro what sort of ashes?
Kolorado: ... Hm. I'm supposed to go back to Koopa Village but my luggage is packed...
Blitzin' Brad: Look at this egghead, can't lift
Zap: By the way an inn might be a good idea for most of the party
Kolorado: I'll have you know I took out a whale of a Cheep Cheep! With 1 Power, too!
Shrody: You know Brad, it's because of eggheads that we have things such as TV and indoor plumbing.
Spooker: It was pretty amazing
Wanda: Doesn't admitting to having 1 Power sort of enforce his claim that you can't lift?
Blitzin' Brad: I've never seen a nerdy scientist working construction, Brody
Kreg: AND he's a world renown archeologist!
Blitzin' Brad: So he's a pro at examining large bones
HA
Kolorado: Sorry, old chum. Can't help you at the moment with the urn.
Wanda: He just called an old jar a sacred artifact of worship.
Anyone?
Kolorado: Maybe when this whole campaign or whatever of your guys' is over?
Wanda: I can't believe I didn't think of trying to bring the book here first...
Kreg: Well that's alright Mr. Kolorado
I guess there's no harm in us just keeping it then?
Kolorado: Keep it safe for me, would you? I trust you lot!
Layze: Kolorado just politely ignoring the fact that Kreg is now hovering a foot off the ground with an axe jetpack
Catena stores crabs in the urn.
Catena: Thanks for trying.
Blitzin' Brad slaps Kolorado on the ass
Blitzin' Brad: YEAH GOOD TRUST
Shrody: ...You do know he's british and therefore calls soccer "football", right?
Catena: What's british mean?
SO.
Spiny Pines.
...Let's go.
Wanda: Weren't we going north?
Kreg: Shouldn't we honestly take a rest first?
Blitzin' Brad: Brody needs warm clothing
Shrody: Spiny Pines IS north.
Kreg: You're not in the greatest shape, Catena.
Blitzin' Brad: Hey bro, circle is a shape
I got your back, Catena
Catena: Does anyone else? I can just... eat something.
Spooker: A rest might be a good idea
Kreg: ...brad that's not want I meant
Shrody: Also, how is Wanda inexplicably healed?
Spooker: Star Sprite power?
Kreg: When WAS the last time we just kinda all rested anyway?
Shrody: If that was the case, then I'd be healed too.
Keiki (GM): ... Yeah, how
Kreg: Unless you REALLY want to eat some mushrooms
Blitzin' Brad: Resting? You want to be sat on the bench? Are you a LOSER, Kreg?
Layze: I've been at full health since we got back to town
Blitzin' Brad: NO LOSERS ON THIS TEAM
Layze: tbh I didn't really think about it
Blitzin' Brad: WE KEEP MARCHING
Keiki (GM): Oh yeah. Shine Sprite.
Kreg: Think of it as halftime
Blitzin' Brad: Where the dancing ladies at
Keiki (GM): I made new character sheets.
They were at max health and stuff.
Shrody: Uh, Brad? You do realize that overexerting yourself is just as bad as slacking off, right?
Blitzin' Brad: T-thank you for caring about my well-being senpai
Catena: ...Well, okay. Let's quicky rest.
Blitzin' Brad: I'll make ;you the bestest sweater ever
Keiki (GM): Because of the massive change in stats I'm going to say shine sprites fully heal you when used.
Shrody: ...Just don't make it cyan. That's the same colour as my arch-rival.
Wizzy: Anyway I guess we have a rest at the Toad Inn
Keiki (GM): I'll make it quick. 5 coins. Who needs to rest?
Layze: I'm literally broke so it's a good thing I don't
PrinceShroob: You're fully healed anyways, Wizzy.
Wizzy: Good thing I leveled after Grodus
PrinceShroob: Also, is Catena broke too?
Cody C.: wait do we get full hp and stuff if we level?
Keiki (GM): Not entirely.
Oh yes you do.
Zap: I'm good, only down 3 points in HP and FP with 10 star points to go
Cody C.: Okay I'm at full too then
Keiki (GM): Really it's just Catena and Spooker that need to rest.
If at all.
PrinceShroob: Catena really needs it.
The group takes a quick moment to wind down at the Toadbrook Inn. Catena gets a well-deserved rest.
Ok I'm all better now.
Wizzy: I hope Acre eventually gets Catena some more HP or Defense
Wanda flips through her new book while they wait
Blitzin' Brad makes sure to slap the innkeeper's ass
Kreg gets a hang of his jetpack
Keiki (GM): Do you guys want to head north now?
Keiki (GM): Get a liiittle started on Spiny Pines?
[MUSIC] Spiny Pines
Zap: Does Shrub need some better clothing first?
Catena: What better place to find winter clothing than a winter area?
PrinceShroob: Wait, is that actually gonna be a thing?
Cody C.: can b-rad have knitted him something
Wizzy: If you want it to be!
Keiki (GM): Well... There's cosmetic stuff in Penguin's Slide.
Wizzy: LET'S GO TO THE WOODS
Kreg: Alright, enough rest!
Now let's goooooo!
The group head north of Toadbrook, and into the pines.
Blitzin' Brad: Brrrrrrrrrrr....o
Getting chilly
Kreg: ...huh, those blocks are empty
Shrody: Well, this place looks like someone's been here before.
Wanda: Ugh, why do I feel as though we've been sent on a recycled quest?
Claimed blocks litter the area. Perhaps someone has been through here... though perhaps not everything is empty here in the woods.
Blitzin' Brad: We're going after the same thing as another group of bros
They must have come through here first.
Catena: Maybe we'll find where they vanished to.
The stick feels weird to be around.
Shrody: ...That looks like a skull.
Wanda: Everyone, stop messing around!
Blitzin' Brad: ...is that a stick?
Wanda: We have to move or that WITCH will get to the patch first!
Kreg: Wanda we want Spooker uncursed, right?
Jujube: WooooooooOOOOOOOO!
Wanda: I could not possibly care less!
Kreg: Wanda it could spread to you
Then you'd care
Jujube: I see you, Spooker! Cramping my style with your Special Spooks!
Jujube: They're not even good Special Spooks! I mean come on. One enemy? And randomly freezing things?
Kreg: Wow this stick is kind--oh
Shrody tries to pick up a general power level reading on Jujube.
Jujube whisks into the area.
Shrody: Holy crap guys, he's got a power level of 406!
Blitzin' Brad: but does he LIFT
what's ours for reference shrody
Shrody tries to pick up a general power level reading on Wanda.
Shrody tries to pick up a general power level reading on Kreggles.
Shrody tries to pick up a general power level reading on Spooker.
Shrody tries to pick up a general power level reading on Catena.
Shrody tries to pick up a general power level reading on Blitzin' Brad.
Spooker: Like 100 wasn't it?
Shrody: anywhere from 2 to 3 hundred.
Wanda: I swear, if that sleazy conjurer gets there first because we had to stop and talk to a stick demon, SOMETHING is getting leveled by fire and lightning!
Shrody tries to pick up a general power level reading on Shrody.
Catena: The crab's like 15 and they totally destroyed Grodus.
Jujube: WoooooooOOOOOO! But that was only salt on the wound!
Kreg: ...well by simple math we'd be stronger, right?
Shrody: Little over, in Kreg's case.
Jujube: It makes me mad just thinking about that... that... that you ate my home!
Kreg: ...I'm sorry he what
Blitzin' Brad: Spooker, you at this dude's home?
Metal
ate
Wanda: Spooker, why'd you eat the stick demon's home?
Spooker: I mean I do eat a lot of things but I don't think I've eatten a house...
Wanda: Now you've gone and wasted all of our time.
Jujube: You ate my plant!
Wanda: Did you eat his plant, Spooker?
Shrody: Please forgive Spooker! He's a moron, but still has a good heart!
Spooker: I do eat random plants without thinking... <.>;
Blitzin' Brad: Uh, spooky bro. I don't like you talking mean to my bro Spooker here.
Might have to teach you some manners.
Jujube: I have taken it upon myself to take my own reparations... in the form of scrumptious luck biscuits!
Wanda: Well, mr. stick demon, I'm sorry this had to happen to you, but we really must be on our way, so if you could just make with the dissection asap...
Spooker: I'm really sorry about eatting your home, is there something I can do to make it up to you?
PrinceShroob: Wait, Shrody isn't fully healed anymore.
Jujube: And let me tell you... Spooker has the most delicious luck biscuits!
Kreg: ...Scrumptious luck biscuit? The heck are those?
...what
Wanda: None of you have ever heard of luck biscuits?
Spooker: Biscuits are amazing
Jujube: Well. I'd like a new home of some kind. And make it nice.
Spooker: Even when they are cookies instead of buns
Wanda: Ugh, why do you even HAVE heads if there's nothing inside?
Spooker: I suggest a shrubbery
Catena, maybe
The thing?
The urn?
Spooker: Then a second shrubbery, slightly to the left, and slightly raised
Catena spits out the urn of crabs
Spooker: I dunno, isn't that cheating if someone else repays my debt? ;.;
Jujube: ... Oh, that's quite the mysteeerious urn you have there.
Layze: and as soon as the spirit inhabits it, it takes off rolling across the countryside at incredible speed
Kreg: I'm sure you can spook people who look inside it!
Jujube: I... I think I like it.
Layze: in its journey to all corners of the globe it achieves speeds never before seen by human eyes
and forever after, it would be known as...
teh urn
Jujube: Bring me the urn.
PrinceShroob: we're giving the mysterious urn to some homeless juju thing
Jujube takes off his mojo mask.
Ake: Yeah man, like, fuck ghost hobos.
PrinceShroob: Well, I mean, sure let's help him get a new home, but giving him the urn? Really?
Jujube: Well, I suppose this is a fine place.
PrinceShroob: And didn't we JUST promise Kolorado to keep hold of it?
Jujube: I don't really like it out here in the open though. Would you mind setting the urn... somewhere nice?
Where would be good?
Jujube: I'll worry about whoever breaks it next a few generations down the line.
Catena: You can come back into my mouth.
Spooker: Can you not interact with physical objects?
Kreg: I suppose I could always run back to the inn
Jujube: ... Sure. It'll be a home within a home.
Spooker.
Spooker: I think I remember Lady Bow teaching me some boo history, that was a big problem back in the day, I think
Jujube: Consider your curse lifted.
On one condition.
Jujube sizes himself up to scare Spooker.
Spooker: Thanks for forgiving me, and especially thanks Catena for offering the urn to him ^.^
Jujube: DON'T YOU EVER JACK MY JUJU MOJO STYLE AGAIN
Okay! ;~;
Wanda: You stole his MOJO too? The poor man.
Spooker won't use Special Spook again! He promises!
Kreg: ...well then catena
Spooker has his luck back though. Spooker learns Dumb Luck!
PrinceShroob: Well, that was a thing.
(pssst, what does dumb luck do?)
Blitzin' Brad: Bro, looking pretty lucky there
I guess let's move on then!
Zap: Should I explain it real quick?
Jujube: ... Why are there a bunch of crabs in here?
Zap: Basically, when I roll for checks, dodges, and hits with attacks, any rolls that are excessive for success, I save
Sidestepper: HOPE YOU LIKE IT IN HERE
Zap: I can use 2 FP to use up some of them to get good rolls to make sure an action works
I can hold 20 good rolls in reserve
Oops.
Wizzy: oh my god that's hilarious
... I guess we're roommates now.
Sidestepper: YOU DO THE DISHES THIS SUNDAY
AND NEXT WEEK, YOU SCRUB THE TOILET
GOT IT?
Kreg: So yeah guys let's uh
move on
Keiki (GM): But yeah, that's pretty much how it works.
Catena jumps. Right here.
Keiki (GM): Coolness check, Catena!
Catena: rolling (8+0)d6>4
= 6 Successes
Aww yeah.
Catena finds an invisible block left by the block shamans!
23 coins are found!
I guess Jujube's cool with the crabs.
okay then
Keiki (GM): Coolness check!
Shrody: rolling (6+0)d6>4
= 2 Successes
...
not sure if success or fail
Shrody whiffs around through the air!
Blitzin' Brad: Don't worry bro, you're always cool in my book
if I had a book
but I don't
Wanda: It's a trick. The gap is a decoy.
Blitzin' Brad: because I'm not a NERD
Wanda: The real secret block is right here.
Wanda jumps, or something equivalent to it
Keiki (GM): Coolness check!
Wanda: rolling 12d6>4
= 7 Successes
Wanda finds an extra-hidden block! It contains a Jammin' Jelly.
Insane
Kreg: Uh, excuse me, but do you know how to cross?
Shrody takes out his frustration on the tree.
Kreg: There seems to be rivers in the ways.
way
singular
Catena: I have a great idea, guys.
Let's swim.
Blitzin' Brad: Only one way to cross a river
Ford that bitch
Spooker: Isn't that the easiest way to lose at Oregon Trail?
"Hold on! I'm in me britches, don'tchaknow."
Wanda: Oh Spooker, come here for a moment!
Blitzin' Brad: Only if you don't start with a dozen grandfather clocks like a scrub
Wanda: Do you see this door?
Shrody bites the tree multiple times
Wanda: The moon marking means this door leads to luck and wealth beyond your wildest dreams.
Spooker: Yes, it is the door to the shi- ah, outdoor bathroom
Wanda: You should go down the pipe in there and see where it leads.
We're headed North, but the way seems blocked!
Blitzin' Brad: He's speaking in tongues!
Keiki (GM): Do you want to go inside the outhouse?
Zap?
Shrody ends up using Fire Bite on the tree in biting it repeatedly.
Shrody's leaving quite the burn marks on the tree. You doing alright there, bud?
Bumpty: Oui oui omelette du fromage!
Zap: Shrody is Charlie Brown confirmed
Spooker: I'd go for some eggs!
^.^!
Bumpty: Anyway, we penguins of the north just swim across when the Cheep Cheep matin' season's over.
Catena: See? What'd I tell you.
Let's go.
Bumpty: Or just let the snow pile over it, eh.
Kreg: Well one of us can't STAND cold so
Catena: Kreg, why don't you fly?
Wanda: When IS Cheep-Cheep mating season?
Wanda: I will NOT swim through fish sex!
Blitzin' Brad: What are the odds of success if we FORD THAT SHIT
Bumpty checks his flipper watch.
Bumpty: It starts right.... around...
Wait for it.
Spooker: Even I'd remember I can fly
Shrody is now shooting the tree with his Shrink Quake Gun!!
Kreg: Well you know I got this just HOURS ago
I wasn't born with it
Also can someone please tell me why Shrody is beating up a tree?
Spooker: Clearly the tree must be evil
Commander Cool: You folks must be lookin' to cross.
Ake: Holy shit that token.
Wanda: Ugh. Fantastic. A Bully.
Football man, I think this will be your area of expertise.
Blitzin' Brad: Don't worry bro I got this
Hey big ice guy!
Blitzin' Brad: Why don't you
CHILL
Shrody now attempts to pull out the tree and throws it towards(but not at) Wanda
Commander Cool: I am chill.
Wanda: I don't know what I expected.
Commander Cool: You could even say I'm...
Cool.
Blitzin' Brad: ice pun bro!
^.^!
Layze: Cake can i make a coolness check to try to reach into a knot in the tree Shrody just threw at me and find an item
Commander Cool: Commander Cool's the name. And for a mere 30 measley coins... I could make a bridge. What do you say?
FORD THAT BITCH
We will not ford the fish sex.
Whatever item was in the tree is now too small to use! Instead, the tiny tree harmlessly bounces off of Wanda.
Zap: And then the tree eats Wanda
PrinceShroob: And that's how Shrody became the biggest threat to the Earth's ecosystem. Or whatever.
Commander Cool: Heh. Suit yerself.
Catena: Is that 30 coins for both rivers?
Kreg: Wanda what are you doing
Commander Cool: Oh, you wanted to cross both of them, did ya?
Well, yes. That would be 60 coins.
Shrody: So what are we doing here?
Kreg: ...okay this is a rip
Commander Cool: Think about how easy it would be to cross to Penguin's Slide.
Wanda attempts to just freeze the river
Shrody: Are we trying to cross the river?
Kreg stands on this arrow looking thing
Blitzin' Brad: Brody, get a tattle on this chump
Shrody: ...Can't I just call a UFO to take us over it?
Blitzin' Brad: I'm fixin' to blitz
Shrody attempts to identify Blitzin' Brad with information from the Shroobish Intel Database.
Shrody: rolling (8+2)d6>4
= 3 Successes
Spooker: Whoa, wait, is that an antenna over there?
Wanda successfully freezes a little ice block.
Catena jumps on the block
Layze: and then it promptly floats downstreat because this is clearly running water?
Spooker: That is exactly dangerous enough to work! ^.^!
Commander Cool: ... No fair! I didn't count on ingenuity.
Or... something. Bah.
Blitzin' Brad: Let's teach this guy some manners
Commander Cool: Stupid newfangled heroes and their power creep.
Blitzin' Brad: HEY ICE MAN
Blitzin' Brad: NEVER PUT YOUR ELBOWS ON THE TABLE
IT'S RUDE
Wanda: That man appears to have the ball.
You should go tackle him.
Hey nerd
Commander Cool: But... I don't have elbows, you runt!
Zap: So didn't Brad not want to pick random fights last session? XD
Cody C.: he's got the ball, bro
Wait up
Commander Cool: You look like yer itchin' to fight.
Kreg attempts to cross the river by hovering across
I'm just looking for you to drop that ball
Kreg can actually just... do that.
Blitzin' Brad: B-rad isn't about randomly picking fights
Shrody is seriously too afraid to jump on the ice patch.
Hop in.
Spooker: Hey Kreg, could you just carry us over then? <.>
Blitzin' Brad: The pigskin, bro
My bro Wanda says you've got it
That's a foul, muchacho
Commander Cool: ... Huh. I ain't got no pigskin.
Kreg attempts to ferry Spooker over as a test
WANDA, HE DOESN'T HAVE IT
Commander Cool: This another fat joke?
Keiki (GM): Power check, Kreg! +1 because Spooker's pretty light.
Blitzin' Brad: ...I don't think she was calling you fat
She explicitly said FOOTBALL
Or... ball
Kreg: rolling (15+1)d6>4
= 8 Successes
Zap: Spooker should probably only weigh as much as the stuff he's carrying right? XD
Oh god
Kreg is very powerful thanks to the Quartz Charm
Kreg successfully ferries him across.
Cody C.: i gotta get me one of those charms
Shrody calls a Shroob UFO over to transfer him over the rivers
Ake: Imagine if Brad had that.
Cody C.: i'm at 14 power now
Catena: So, want a ride Shrody?
Spooker: Thanks, that was awesome ^.^
Wizzy: I got it off an interdimensional being
C'mon Catena!
Blitzin' Brad: Uh, guys, I don't think he has the ball
He doesn't even have a team
Catena: ...I might be too heavy for this jump.
Wanda: He told me he has the ball.
Blitzin' Brad: THE ball, Brody
Commander Cool: I do have my little bro. Commander Chill.
Wanda: He's probably just trying to get you to let your guard down.
Wanda: He just wants an easy touchdown.
Blitzin' Brad: Nobody's getting past B-rad
Kreg just does the Chomp Hurl Bros manaunver
Spooker: But where even is the endzone? <.>
Blitzin' Brad: That's deep, Spooker.
Wanda: It's at the end of the field, Spooker.
Shrody tries to pick up a general power level reading on Commander Cool.
Blitzin' Brad: Where IS the endzone
Blitzin' Brad: in this crazy football game of life
Bro
Kreg: Man that's gonna get weird now that I can fly and do that.
Shrody: This guy has a Power level of 600.
Alright look
Catena: My crabs are still better.
Blitzin' Brad: Tattle 'em, Brody
Catena: Especially Jujube-embued crabs.
Wanda: He's also made of ice.
Shrody attempts to identify Commander Cool with information from the Shroobish Intel Database.
Shrody: rolling (8+2)d6>4
= 5 Successes
Blitzin' Brad: And he wants to charge a toll
Most heinous
Wanda: He's not even advancing on us, let's just move on. I think he's stuck here.
Kreg: Look, Commander Cool
Just don't charge such high prices
Blitzin' Brad: He's obviously
FROZEN with fear
Blitzin' Brad: What's wrong ice bro?
Got cold feet?
Catena: Let's not provoke him.
Blitzin' Brad: Snow wonder
We're pretty rad
Commander Cool is a large Ice Bully. He's strong, and isn't immediately pushed around like other Bullies.
Blitzin' Brad: But if he ain't got the ball, B-rad ain't got no beef
Commander Cool: ... Man, why you all gotta be avoiding my toll?
Kreg: Because we're cool cats
Shrody just uses the UFO again
Kreg: Want another lift, Spooker?
Commander Cool: ... This is dumb. I'm gonna find a new bridge to toll or something.
:33
Kreg: rolling (15+1)d6>4
= 7 Successes
Zap: I need to roll for something
I got Spooker's luck back and haven't even used it
Keiki (GM): You could... forage, or something!
Which is Smarts.
Kreg presumably makes it across with Spooker
Catena: What do I roll to jump?
Zap: I was thinking of investigating the snowman but I didn't want him to steal his cloths XD
Keiki (GM): (you made it across)
Shrody forages the ground
Keiki (GM): Make a Smarts check.
Shrody: rolling (8+0)d6>4
= 1 Successes
Shrody: Oh for fuck's sake!
Zap.
Shrody: SMARTS IS SUPPOSED TO BE MY STRENGTH!
Wizzy: Well if the dice hate you it doesn't matter what your strength is
WIth no space.
Wanda just tries to look smarter than Shrody
Spooker uses some smarts.
Spooker: rolling (5+0)d6>4
= 5 Successes
Wanda: rolling (8+0)d6>4
= 3 Successes
WHAT!
XD
Spooker happened to find a berry nose on that snowman! He couldn't really resist so he took it.
Shrody: Spooker is smarter than Wanda confirmed
Keiki (GM): So when you get successes like that, you have a macro.
It should be "AwYeahSuccess"
Keiki (GM): The threshold on that one was 2. So you get 3 back as far as luck points.
Keiki (GM): There you go!
That helps me keep track.
The group heads north, into the mountains, and finally reach Penguin's Slide.
[MUSIC] Penguin's Slide
Zap: I also need to use these bunny ears for something at some point, for the jokes
Cody C.: penguin's slide is comfy as fuck holy shit
PrinceShroob: Okay, seriously, my token does not look right.
Kreg is glad he's always wearing a scarf now
Keiki (GM): just for jokes haha
Catena: Well, we're here.
Where to first?
Blitzin' Brad: Gotta get our bro some warm new duds
Keiki (GM): I think around now is a good time to end the session, unless you guys want to keep going!
Wizzy: I wanna see the cosmetics
Even though I can't afford anything
Wizzy: After that yeah we should stop
Catena: There's a shop over there.
So good
Zap: I like how we all rush into a store
One second, no one, then a huge mob the next
Zap: Don't tell anyone but in the northwest there is a star sprite
Blitzin' Brad: OH GOD HELP ME WHERE AM I
Kreg: Sorry I just had an out of body experience there
Blitzin' Brad: WHAT IS THIS DARK VOID
PrinceShroob: I see a Shine Sprite.
Blitzin' Brad: ALL I SEE IS DARKNESS
WHERE AM I
Keiki (GM): Roll20 is being ghetto
Catena: Do you sell earmuffs in mini size?
Spooker: I like my bunny ears, so the hat and earmuffs are out
I don't wear pants...
And the shirt would cover my face
Finding clothing for boos is hard ;~;
PrinceShroob: No, seriously, there's a Shine Sprite in the upper right corner of the map.
Kreg is thankfully well-insulated in his current clothing which is good since he's poor
Zap: Ya I pointed it out too
Sorry.
Catena: I offer 9 coins for mini-muffs.
Lemmy Morta: Oh hey, don't I know you?
Well, anyway. The earmuffs are 18 coin, my friend.
Blitzin' Brad: Whew that was weird
Bro you gotta fix that door
Catena: I want very tiny earmuffs.
Blitzin' Brad: It's like a portal to some dark dimension
Wanda: Excuse me, sir, I would like to offer you a deal.
I have these two extremey rare berries, recently extricated from ancient Yoshi ruins.
Lemmy Morta: Speaking of the door, would someone close it?
Wanda: How much would you give me for the?
Spooker: Those are so fun ^.^
Lemmy Morta: Uh, I guess I could use them for spells or something.
Blitzin' Brad: We need some warm threads for my man Brody here
Lemmy Morta: 3 coins each.
Wanda: Hmph. Nobody in this hodunk kingdom understands historical value.
Catena buys the earmuffs.
Blitzin' Brad: QUICK THE SHOPKEEPER D/CED EVERYONE SMASH AND GRAB
PrinceShroob: If they didn't understand historical value, then they'd pay whatever price you're asking for.
Catena puts the little earmuffs on Sidestepper.
Wizzy: wow now that I look at our tattle log we missed a ton
Wanda would totally be buying earmuffs if she wasn't broke ;_;
PrinceShroob konks Brad on the head before he does something stupid.
Layze: He's wearing a helmet
Cody C.: like any good athlete
Sidestepper: WHAT THE HECK IS THIS
I LOOK LIKE A DOOFUS
Blitzin' Brad: I feel some strange ethereal force trying to konk me on the head
Thank God I have my helmet
PrinceShroob: layze, would Wanda allow Shrody to buy some ear muffs for her?
Layze: not without a fight she wouldn't
PrinceShroob: So that's a no?
Keiki (GM): (I won't resprite A-ranks because holy no that's a lot of effort)
Layze: If I'm not gonna het a resprite then meh
PrinceShroob: Then why even bother getting Shrody winter clothes if he can't even move with them!?
Wizzy: earmuffs so wanda can block herself out :v
Cody C.: so he doesn't freeze and die
Spooker feels like there is a draft or something in here
Layze: idk if you wanna buy me earmuffs go ahead, at the very least I can pretend she looks fashionable
Keiki (GM): Would you like to shut the door?
Blitzin' Brad: Bro you might want to get those speakers checked, your town theme keeps cutting out
PrinceShroob: I thought the door was already shut?
The door has departed for the shut dimension.
Which in all reality is just an x- or y-axis.
Zap: I was an attempt to root out a way to get tothat shine sprite
Layze: it's probably a different building in this town
Layze: Cake usually puts them all on the same map
OH NO META
Keiki (GM): Shine sprite?
Layze: the shine in the top left corner of the map is visible
Zap: It might be, but there is also that thin thing that is kinda connecting the two
Keiki (GM): I don't see a shine sprite there.
Only black space.
Tiko: pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
Keiki (GM): Quit being meta!
Layze: oh you're being ironic
Zap: Good job not noticing the like three times we pointed it out XD
Anyway I think we're done here
Layze: ok what's going on here
Layze: shroob are you gonna buy wanda earmuffs or not
Wizzy: I'm out at the very least, I don't imagine we'll be here much longer
Later nerds
Keiki (GM): I'm pretty done too.
Shrody buys a pair of earmuffs
Keiki (GM): We'll probably pick this up... next Saturday!
