Grand Hallway (Fuzz, Red)
It's midnight, the time when monsters come out to play and terrorize the denizens of the world. Cities and towns have methods of fending off angry creatures, but it's been harder since Bowser's army has joined the legions of the night. What will Red and Fuzz encounter that poses a challenge to both of them? What will Oomph find down the hallway? Will Bradley find the key he needs to progress? And how will Taric deal with a new, unexpected game changer?
Turn ResultsTaric: Equip the starlance. Head to the east and hit the question block.You equip the starlance, and gain the ability
Sacrificial Star. You have a feeling this will prove useful, even though realistically it only has one use right now. Come to think of it, though, you have no idea how Super Mode works! But it must be really great if it requires such a high price.
You head to the east, back to the Center of Misfortune, where the Piranha Walker corpse was. You begin to walk b-- wait.
Suddenly, you see something blocking your way to the east, the only visible exit. Or, it
was visible. Now the trail has been completely swallowed by some pitch black entity, with tendrils that wave around slowly. It's like some kind of living darkness.
You don't notice any other pathways, but realize there's nothing stopping you from attempting to make your own at this point.Red: Try to get around the statue.You walk to the west to find Fuzz attempting to look around the statue. You move him to the side, and ask him where Oomph is. He says he's on the other side. You ask how he got there. He says he doesn't know. He "really doesn't know". Regardless, you attempt to squeeze past the crack between the wall and the giant pipe.
You just can't do it! It's too small, and you are pretty skinny if you say so yourself. There seems to be no visible way to get around it.Then you remember you have wings now.
You have successfully herped and derped simultaneously. You have invented a new word for this action.
Only like 3 of the people in this topic will get the reference and two of them aren't even players.
You realize it's pretty unlikely the question block contains a green key. You'll probably end up having to go back through the pipe again to find it, no matter how much you want to stay away from the scary hound monster. Anyway, while you're here, you hit the question block. Out of it pops
an interesting item that you've never seen before: a
Smithy's Mini-anvil! Oomph: To the lava room!You walk to the north (or was it west?). In a moment or two, you're standing at the entrance to a very large room consisting of a straight platform that holds on it a massive green pipe. Around the platform is a pit of lava.
You get the feeling that not only is the room really empty, but someone else you know has been here before. You have no idea how you would get to the top of the pipe. You guess you could pole vault again but if you screwed up you'd be roasted in the lava. Or you could head back and see what that other room was.
Suddenly, as you're about to do some more looking around, you notice that two of the fireballs that have been dancing in and out of the lava are actually Podoboos!
They land on the platform in front of you, and start to float towards you, slowly.Fuzz: Climb over the pipe.You attempt to climb up the pipe, but just slide down it. That's not going to work. You suddenly devise a devious plan, though,
consisting of Red carrying you over the pipe like Monic and Pails from the ever-loathed Kega Nemesis game! Of course, he might not be strong enough, but it certainly is worth a shot.
...or maybe not. Just as the invisible clock ticking in the back of your head tells you it's midnight, the stone Piranha Plant cracks open, revealing a living, angry piranha plant! What will you do in this situation? It's up to you and Red to defeat it!
Turn OutroThe tables are set: everyone is in danger, except for the one most scared of it. Will they overcome their challenges or face their inevitable demise?
Additionally, I am proposing a change to how attack rolls work, instead of the somewhat silly "subtract 2" rule. I will take a vote on this, please vote "Whoo-hoo!" or "Boo-hoo!" before the next turn:

Yeah, I've been planning to make midnights "Danger times" when enemies are much more likely to appear. For once, the flavor text makes a small difference! I will be splitting the next turn three ways: the two battles, and the out of battle results. Similar to the team system but a little more fluid and easy to manage.
