Turn 40Location: Over the Bridge (Aqua Resort)
Time: Late Morning
Weather: Sunny
Light: Plenty
Turn IntroThe surly group of strange heroic fellows and the small portion of the Koopa Troop are locked in a heated battle. Oomph and Blue have a certainly rivalry with each other, but KT Red is a wildcard in the duel. In a few more moments, the matched blows resume!
Turn ResultsZachary: 10
Amadeus: 9
Oomph: 8
KT Red: 7
Bradley: 5
KT Blue: 3
Joe: 2
You hop to your feet and take a steady run across the bridge and into the action! Just beside you, Oomph is knocked back, and Amadeus seems to be having technical difficulties.
But you don't have time to worry about the others. A mere foot away from KT Red, you take your best shot at him!
He's blindsided by the attack and gets knocked back a few feet. KT Red takes 2 damage!
Unfortunately, he's not disarmed, even though you tried to knock his weapons out mid-swing. He's got a death-grip on that thing.
Amadeus: Tackle KT Red!You use your new form to take a running (well, floating) start at KT Red! However, having just transformed,
you're not used to being humanoid at all, and miss the Koopa foe entirely! You can't stop moving, though, and see the edge of the bridge in front of you. You try to stop...
but fail entirely!You fall off the bridge and into the water. Why can't you just float back up like in your old form!? While asking yourself this, you take 4 damage from being exposed to the water! Argh! You have to get out of there!
Oomph: Continue clubbing away at KT Blue.Guh! The annoying blue one keeps trading blows with you. He just won't go down! But, being a Koopa yourself, you're also pretty sturdy. You get right back up, take another running start and
swing your club at the malicious blue one! He attempts to block your blow, but alas, he cannot.
He's clubbed just like the ball in your favorite sport! KT Blue takes 2 damage.
KT Red: Stop being so stupid.The Red-hued Koopa Troop leader, recovering from Zachary's blow, gestures with his arms again, but goes for the distracted Oomph instead of (the possibly incompetent, but probably invulnerable) Podoboo.
He summons a fiery blast at Oomph's location. Oomph squeals at the burst of flame, and is momentarily distracted from his blow-trading with KT Blue! He takes four damage. KT Red's flames are visibly beginning to disappear.
"Blue! My man, help me out here!" KT Red signals KT Blue to switch places with him.
Bradley: Start flipping out all over the Koopa Troop!You fly over to KT Red and
start stabbing him furiously! Everything sort of blurs around you. You're not even sure who you're actually stabbing.
Whoever it is, they say "OW!" but do not appear to be otherwise harmed.In another minute, you suddenly appear to be on the other side of the bridge, away from the action. Huh. You must have blacked out. You didn't even know your kind could black out!
KT Blue: Switch targets.KT Blue quickly swaps spots with KT Red in the middle of action, and powers up another fiery strike... but this time, targets Zachary!
Zachary sees the blow coming, but doesn't react quickly enough to jump out of the way. His face and chest are burned as he's hit by Blue's fiery strike!"I'll get to you in another minute," says Blue coldly in Oomph's general direction.
Joe: Stand up and fight!You stand up and help Zachary out like the soldier you are.Blue loses 5 HP.

In just another moment, KT Blue's flame went out, and his two magical wings became one regular wing. He was reduced to nothing more than a crippled schmuk with a hammer.
KT Red jumped in front of KT Blue, guarding him. "I
won't let you harm my brother any more," he yells. Oomph gave him a firm kick to the chest, and his fire powers dissipated, too. He ground his teeth and held his ground.
"Master! Master, you promised us! You said we could get back at them!" KT Blue said this, and from far away, a sinister magician flew down to just above the Koopa Troops' heads. The four remaining heroes on the bridge gasped.
Kamek, Bowser's right-hand Magikoopa, introduced a single gloved palm to her old, gnarled face. She started blathering on to the Koopa Troop.
"I can't account for your own incompetence! Just because I have that idiot's weapon doesn't mean I can make the transformation sustain itself!" The terrible Magikoopa waved her tiny rod as she spoke, and KT Red and KT Blue were lifted into the air. "And why didn't Yellow and Green come along with you?"
KT Red looked down at the Heroes one last time. He seemed to be terrified of Kamek.
"W-We couldn't get them to go with us! They wanted to stay with the other magicians to help keep the Origin at minimum strength. We're sorry, Master," said KT Red. With this, Kamek muttered something about the "blasted Origin", and flew off into the sky with the two Koopas in her magical grasp.
Bradley noticed Amadeus in the water and brought him out, so there was some relief, but Kamek's departure was still a very sad moment for the Heroes. They had lost Red, and they couldn't even exact revenge on the Koopa Troop.
Dungeon map up next turn. There will be a little bit listed as "explored", just because unlike in the forest, you can actually see in any given direction here. For now, just cross the bridge and finish up any remaining actions.
