King Piranha's Stomping Ground (Taric, Red, Bradley, Oomph, Fuzz)
And the story is off! But before Our Heroes can find Ochita, defeat Bowser or report back to the kingdom, the have to first survive an encounter with their deadliest foe yet...
Heroes Minus One (Taric, Red, Bradley, Oomph, Fuzz)
VS
Shadowy Forest King (Corrupted King Piranha, Left Tendril, Right Tendril)
Taric: 10
Bradley: 7
Fuzz: 5
Oomph: 4
Left Tendril: 4
Right Tendril: 4
Red: 1
Corrupted King Piranha: 1
You may have stolen the show at first, but if there's one ally that has a chance of combating this foe, it's Bradley, with his elemental magic. You raise your Starlance skyward, gather energy and point it at Bradley, firing a power-imbueing energy beam at him!
Bradley has transformed into his super form:
Blind Boogician.
Bradley: Sneak behind CKP and attack!You feel invigorated with power! Your new form grants you not only a wide array of abilities, but also the power to fight on your own.
Thinking nobody would notice you with Taric trying to steal the show,
you float around the trees and behind Corrupted King Piranha. The large shadow beast doesn't notice you at all!
You begin a quiet incantation, and hold up your wand. Summoning forth a massive bolt of lightning from the sky, you watch it arc: first between the clouds, then between the tree cover, then straight to Corrupted King Piranha's head petals! He receives a great jolt, waving his corrupted purple leaves and black tendrils wildly! CKP takes 4 damage, and is visibly shocked. Pun intented! -1 EX.
Fuzz: Fireball! You can do this!It's time to take revenge... on plants in general! Though, now, King Piranha probably does not strictly count as a "plant". You warm up your inner energies and send a fireball flying!
However, it misses King Piranha entirely, instead arcing over him in Bradley's direction! It's a good thing Bradley is in super form, because
his red, floaty shapes nullify the fireball entirely.Today is just not your day.
Oomph: Throw Red at the Piranha Plant!It would have been most considerate of you to wait until the Red one hid in his shell! Alas, you do not hesitate, but rather grab the Koop by the back-home and throw the lad skyward! The poor sap finds himself failing to hide in his shell before being launched, and instead lands on his posterior not a great distance behind Bradley, losing 1 health increment and becoming stunned for the remainder of this duel-round.
Corrupted King Piranha: WALL OF SHADOW!Corrupted King Piranha rears back his ugly head, lunges forward and lets out a might, horrible roar! The reverberation from the roar cause small pillars of fiery shadow to erupt from the ground, hitting both Taric and Bradley!
-
Taric manages to somehow sidestep the wall just in time.-
Bradley is caught off guard and hit by the shadowy pillar, and his geometry field does not fully protect him! He loses 3 EX points!Left Tendril: smack Taric around.Corrupted King Piranha slings one of his shadowy tendrils around, attempting to hit Taric!
It slaps him right in the face, where
he's not fully protected. Thankfully, CKP's tendrils don't have anywhere near the manpower of CKP himself, so it only does 1 damage!
Left Tendril: Fire a shadow beam at Oomph!Corrupted King Piranha, quickly picking out Oomph as one of the least armored foes of his, fires a blast of shadow out of his other tendril at the unexpecting pseudo-british Koopa!
The beam hits Oomph completely square,
knocking him off his feet, doing 3 damage and stunning him! Oomph mutters something in a funny accent suddenly.
Red: Hide in your shell!You're stunned on the ground, but that doesn't mean you can't do the one thing you can always do - hide! You hide in your shell. You gain +1 AV for the duration of the turn. Gosh, you knew Oomph was acting crazy, but not THAT crazy!

created by one who the crew know very little about! Amidst a sweeping of failure, some hope still stands. On which side of the coin of life will our heroes turn out on in the end?
How's the new, thick-lined art style? Thoughts?
