Midnight has come and gone, but the foes awaiting Our Heroes will not be so easily subdued. With the teams beginning to be reunited, though, they'll more easily be able to face their greatest challenge yet.

Turn resultsTaric: Screw this. Go the other way.You head back to the spear room, with a little more spring in your step. As you walk (more like jog) to the second clearing once again, you feel as though the frightening darkness is following you... slowly. When you get there, it looks exactly as you left it, except you notice that some of the weeds under your feet have been turned pitch black.
You see something in the distance. Is that... another pipe?Player listRace: Koopa (Yellow)

Red: 8
Fuzz: 6
Before Red or Fuzz even have a chance to dodge or react, they're pelted with flame.
-
Red's shell somehow makes the entire fireball just glance off. However, when he recovers from his minor fireball-induced daze, he's on fire!
-
Fuzz doesn't have anything to protect him, and doesn't have time to dodge. He's struck in the chest with a fireball, and punted backwards from the force. When he gets up, he notices his clothes are flaming!
>RED: ATTACK STATUEYou fly towards the statue using your newfound wings... unfortunately for you, you're not used to them, and you just end up flying straight into a wall. Ow. You take one point of damage. At least you've got Fuzz to back you up.
Fuzz: Fireball!You appropriately shout "Fireball! and chuck a ball of flame at the Piranha Plant from below! Unfortunately for you, your fireball bounce pattern, plus the spot you're standing at, makes it so that the fireball hits the center of the pipe the Piranha Plant is standing in. It makes a "Fsshhh!" sound and disappears. So much for that plan of action.

Name: Piranha Plant
Race: Piranha Plant
Bio: The Piranha Plants that hide in warp pipes are about as classic an enemy as you can get. They aren't part of Bowser's army -- they're far too dumb to be taught or ruled over. The only things they're concerned with are shelter, food and self-defense. However, outside forces may make them more aggressive...

vs.
Flickering Duo (Podoboo 1, Podoboo 2)
Podoboo 2: 8
Bradley: 6
Podoboo 1: 5
Oomph: 1
It looks a little frustrated, and maybe somewhat incompetent, like Oomph.
Bradley: Head back through the pipe.Tucking your magical mini-forge in Bradleyspace, you head back through the warp pipe. When you come out on the other side, you're highly surprised to see a battle raging between two fire spirits and your pal Oomph! Oh, it's good to see him again, even if he is a little bit mean! For some reason, he makes a really excited wave towards you with his non-wielding arm. It's almost like you're exactly the person he wanted to see this very minute.
Podoboo 2: Podoboo Leap! Knock the white one out of the sky!The other Podoboo, seeing a new face, leaps straight towards Bradley, interrupting his warm welcome! Bradley gets hit dead center,
and is knocked straight out of the sky, taking 5 damage! Bradley looks entirely surprised by this new development, and is stunned. He falls to the ground, also known as the lava platform.
Oomph: MAKE DIPLOMACY.Oomph stops fighting, holds out his left arm forward, motions everybody to stop, and shouts:"WAIT!"Everyone looks surprised. Even the Podoboos stop what they were doing.
"Why we fight? What done wrong? Have we intruded?" continues Oomph, being as assertive and heroic as possible.
Time ticks on for a moment or so, and the Podoboos look visibly startled. Bradley is still reeling.
"Why everyone so hostile? Can't we get along? We're saving Mushroom Kingdoom here! No intention of fighting!" says Oomph. He looks disconcerted. Even the Koopaball champion has clearly had enough for one day.
The Podoboos look to each other, look back to Oomph, and nod. Oomph hears them in his mind: "Intruders. Helping. Not hurting. Understood. Help out. Allies!"
Before Oomph or Bradley can make out what they meant, the Podoboos have leapt back into the lava. Suddenly, with a great shaking, the pipe in the room lowers to an easily climbable level! Meanwhile, in the grand hallway, the pipe the Piranha Plant is fighting out of also lowers, leaving it defenseless.
The fight has been won... but for once, with peace. Just as Mario and Luigi would have wanted it.
The two Podoboos look on just above the surface of the lava. Oomph gets the feeling that they want the kingdom saved too. He also gets the feeling that they're hiding... from something they can't understand.

Bio: A rather cowardly ghost even by Boo standards. However, he's always admired the story of Mario and Luigi, and when he learned they were captured, he decided to take a stand for once in his life and try to rescue them!

Name: Podoboo 1
Race: Podoboo
Bio: Podoboos are living flame, nearly invincible by some standards. They're part of the reason people avoid crossing lava -- a jump over a lava pit that would have otherwise resulted in landing on the other side can end in catastrophe by way of a well-honed Podoboo tackle, aiming to knock you out of the air and into the fire.

Taric only has one route of escape, but Bradley, Oomph, Fuzz and Red know what they have to now do.
Congratulations! You can now select "Podoboo" as a playable race when creating a character!
I'll get around to updating the first post... soon. Maybe.
