I suppose waitlist me, not that I imagine it'll get that far...

I suppose waitlist me, not that I imagine it'll get that far...

I have a feeling it will. I haven't started anything else since this began, and don't plan on doing so.

Can't guarantee enough players will die, though.

[Toaster]

Oh sorry- didn't mean your GMing, I meant players dying.

But I want to be a goomba now.  Oh, the things I could do to annoy you with...

[Dwarmin]

Well, there's not much in the way of healing items yet, and my own healing I promise to be stingy with, to be fair to the people waiting list-we also get hit pretty easy now.  So you might have more of a chance than you think.

[freeformschooler]

Bradley DOES have three healing mushrooms but he's never actually used them.

Also, text is done. Working on art, animation/slideshow and music now. Should be very entertaining, lots of full color stuff. Will hopefully be done before the end of the day, but I got a lot of other things to do (I'm going hiking and gonna move furniture).

Turn Outro



Everyone has gained 5 HP and 5 MP from the power of the Shadow Star.
Everyone got a unique piece of equipment!

You all begin the trek back to town. It's been a long day and a half, and you're all hungry and tired.

Spoiler: OOC (important) (click to show/hide)

Well, that's it for the Forest of Piranha Plants! Congratulations everyone! Next turn will be something COMPLETELY different. I'll have it up in a day or three.

A note on the second music piece (Grimtoad's organ-and-synth theme): I used some sheet music I had as a reference for composing it. I originally was gonna try to get it exactly, but then I thought "nahh". You can still hear Peach's original theme in it, but it's not the whole/exact thing.

[FuzzyZergling]

Oh yes. I am the cute one.
It's me.

"A bitter victory, but a well earned one...lets see if anything survived from the once good king."

Action: Oomph searches for uncorrupted pieces of King Piranhas hide that may have survived the explosion, before moving on.

Spoiler: I've discreetly given you all a new weapon/piece of armor from the Forest Star. I was gonna reveal this to you later, once the intermission is over. Anyway, any actions you make now will just be queued 'til much later.

[Darvi]

A BLONDE? THEY MUST BE EEEVIIIILLL!!!

[Dwarmin]

Also though, Grimtoad is totally a girl.
I can see right through the disguise that has fooled you all!

Perhaps one named "Mrs Counselor"?

More seriously I have intentionally made him/her gender-ambiguous.

This has nothing to do with the fact that I love characters that you never know the real gender of. Nothing I tell you!

EDIT: There are a few things about that comic that you will notice if you look close enough. Like Bradley's super form. Several pages before we even see it.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Yay Bradley. ^^ Also, I don't see any equipment in our inventory....

Bradley floated around, looking up. He couldn't believe he had finished off the Piranha King! It was both a good and a bad thing; he had saved his friends - some of them, anyway - but at the same time he had destroyed the guardian of the forest. Had it really been necessary? Was there some other way to have resolved the problem, like getting the shadow off of him? Bradley didn't know... so for now he just stayed quiet, thinking matters over.

[freeformschooler]

Nice icon, serious. Nice avatar, too. Anyway all of the equipment changes and everything will be applied next turn. Speaking of which I just got my new, fancy laptop several hours ago... and like I earlier stated, gaming binge. The new turn will be up whenever I've gotten Photoshop and Flash on this thing.
