Turn 36Location: Road to Aqua Resort
Time: Night
Weather: Cloudy
Light: None except the fire.
Turn IntroThe heroes prepare to properly sleep for the first time in a couple of days. It's probably better for them to just ignore this supernatural deformed freak that's joining them.
Turn ResultsBradley: Give club to Amadeus.Err... that Author character sure is pretty strange to look at! You float over to Amadeus and hand him your Iron Club. He probably could use it more than you! You take a couple of swings in the air with your Frostknife before heading off to sleep.
Wait, you just remembered that you don't sleep. You float in the air behind the heroes in a guarding position. Time to get ready for another long night.
Oomph: Insult the author's everything.You insult the Author verbosely.
The Author does not look amused.
You decided to get some sleep.
Zachary: Plan your route tomorrow according to the map.It looks like, from here, there are two routes to your destination. The more direct one through the forest, which would only take a little while but might possibly pit you up against some strong forest hostiles, or the long way around the hills, which would be safer and not take THAT much longer than the other route. Ultimately it's up to you, since you have the map and could just lie about which way is safer/faster, but it might be better to take a team vote in the morning.
You offer to take shifts with Bradley and Oomph again, but it looks like Oomph's already headed to bed, Red is who even knows where and Bradley's got you covered. You try to get comfortable, and head to sleep.
Joe: Ponder the good old days when soldiers were REAL men.Your sleepy mind conjures a crude image of the Good Old Days.
Yeah, honestly, things were never THAT good. Even before Bowser came along, there were regular Magikoopa sieges, and at least half the Kingdom had to be rebuilt once even during your relatively short lifetime! Those jerks controlling the Mushroom Kingdom from their high-thrones always considered war to be the ultimate solution to everything.
Magikoopa siege? WAR! Some mad sorceror decides to go loner and start raising up skeletons? WAR! Allied Kingdom cuts off trade routes? Negotiate with them. Nah, just kidding, WAR! And this isn't even getting into those pompous, holier-than-thou Beanbeans who clearly get off of riling up their allies in hopes of causing them to do something irresponsible. You didn't enlist as a soldier you because you wanted to punch people's faces in. That happened all the time even before you enlisted. You enlisted as a soldier to do some right in the Kingdom for once. And now that you're with these half-wits, perhaps it's finally your big chance to set a good example for the rest of the military. Maybe even the administration.
Oh well. Time to get some rest. Thinking about this stuff makes you angry. And being angry wears you out.
Amadeus: Equip the club and poke the Author with it.You equip the Iron Club. Your MP decreases, but at least you have a reasonable weapon. You attempt to poke this Author fellow in the face with it. It sure was nice of Bragley to give you his spare weapon!
The Author makes the same face he made to Oomph, but to you. Which is to say, his regular face.
You hop in the camp fire, settle down on the firewood and try to get some rest.
Author: Get some rest.Making all of these faces at unworthy original characters do not steal sure is hard work. You head to bed (which is to say, the ground), fully expecting to bring Red back sometime soon.

Turn OutroThe campfire dims over the next few hours, and our Heroes drift off to sleep. Except for Bradley, who floats guard. However, the night remains pretty uneventful, and the Heroes sleep well.
When they wake up, Oomph complains about neck problems from sleeping on the flat ground, but they get up pretty quickly regardless. It's time to decide which path to take - the safe one or the fast one?
I had so much fun drawing fatson!Loface you just have no idea.
