Turn 10Turn introLogic is key when attempting to solve a puzzle. Some of the most famous puzzles were invented by E. Howard Toadenheimer back in 660.
The year is currently 710 AM. AM standard, of course, for After Mushroom - the rise of the Mushroom Kingdom changed literally everything. Before the first peace treaty between the tribal Toads and the warlike Humans, the world was in chaos. But the Mushroom Kingdom gave the entire west and south sides of the world a reason to live and make progress, and gave hope to the rest of the planet.

Ignoring the Question Block, you take a stroll to the west. Being apart from the rest of the team ain't gonna stop you from doing anything. You walk through a pathway with various streaks of light and dense underbrush, pushing past vines and rocks in your way. It's clear these forests don't get walked all that often. But up ahead, it seems like, suddenly, the trail becomes more frequently traversed.
You find yourself in Yet Another Impassable Circle-shaped Forest Clearing. (YAICFC?) A nearby wooden sign says "Center of Misfortune - woe to all ye who enter!" There seems, at first, to be nothing here... however, you see to the side a piranha plant walking on two legs! It notices you. Uh oh.

Before realizing they didn't check for a ceiling, they were in the next room already! It would be called a clearing, if there was any sunlight at all.
On the north side of the room are two platforms, suspended in the air by a pulley, much like a balancing scale. At the top of the right platform, floating in thin air, is a red key with an M shape carved into the top as the handle.

You were just about the use the brute force solution yourself, when all of the sudden, Bradley grabs your sword.
Bradley: Help Oomph out.Trying to be helpful, you grab Oomph's sword, and fly up to the orb. You feel uncomfortable around it -- you can see, and yet it's right there, eminating absolutely nothing. Regardless, with Oomph's sword, you slash at it. You're bounced back by some force. Other than that, nothing happens. Whatever you did, you don't think it worked.
Fuzz: Follow the Blue PipersYou throw a signature Fireball at the orb, using your first ball of fire since the adventure started. It bounces up to the orb, and is reflected by a purple flash from the orb's apparent forcefield.
You quickly dodge the reflected fireball, and get a feeling that didn't work, but at least it's a different result than Bradley's.
Team outroDon't forget that there's pathways to the west and north if you decide to give up on this!
