Turn 65!Weather: Sunny with a chance of *thing happening this or next turn*
Time: For a game show. Maybe.
Light: Clouded over
"Alright, I'll give it a shot."
Accept a quiz! Look through my inventory for magical items that I might have.
Zachary searches his inventory for magical items. However, he finds none. Even his gleaming bronze blade is only top-quality, not magical. Maybe he could bum a magical item off one of his allies later.
:
"Oooh, DANDY! Step right up and enter the pipe, please!"The table in front of GUY QUIZNO morphs into a WARP PIPE before Zach's eyes, and the purple host hops in. Zachary does so too.
Wop, wop, wop...Dirk listened to Oopmh speak, and silently reminded himself that he'd forgotten to mention the talking turtle.
"Boston is where a bunch of angry people are cramped in a really small space, with nothing to do but watch sports no one actually likes. And a stoner is like a normal person, but lazy, they smell weird, and usually a lot more fun to be around."
As much as the rational sections of his mind to ignore any and all advice received from likely imaginary talking turtles, some light did seem like a good idea.
Grab a torch off the wall before you go exploring.
Bradley put his hand in the water to see if he would pass through it, since he was ghostly. But he wasn't brave enough to follow the river back to its source by himself, so after doing so he just turned around and hid behind Oomph.
"Don't forget Oomph-Super Hero Koopa Baller!" Oomph reminded Dirk.
"Also, what is Bawst-On? Oomph not been to that place, and he's been to lots of places except that one.
Also, whats a minute? And a Stoner?"
...
Oomph prepared to wall run up and snag one of the Torches.
"Those are Wall Torches, they burn forever I think-Old Boss Bowser use them in castle for ambient lighting.
Be useful to be grabbing now."
Action: Grab one of the torches off the wall
Back inside the ruin-dungeon, Oomph and Dirk each grab a Wall Torch before going their separate ways.
... Bradley lets the water run over his hand, and finds that it passed through him like most liquids did. He's too chicken to explore the rest of the waterway, though, so he floats away and hides behind Oomph.
Joe, Dirk and Ochita head west to further explore the dungeon. They find another protruding doorway leading north, and a wooden chest lying on a raised platform with steps leading to it. However, there were dark grey, circular objects sticking out of the wall all around it. Hmm...
Meanwhile, in another dimension...:
"Helllloooo, viewers! Welcome, welcome, to yet another round of the 46th seasonal GUY QUIZNO QUIZ SHOW!":
"Our contestant today, a Human hailing from the Mushroom Kingdom, what did you say his name was oh right ZACHARY JONES! Will he leave with the ARTIFACT OF HIS CHOICE? Or will he be marked into the GUY QUIZNO HALL OF SHAME? On with the rules!":
