It's official, Hamstone must make a cameo.

[Powder Miner]

Alo, if I may suggest a NPC that could be a viable party member, do a typical (as in filled with the bay12 kind of stuff like throwing water and fighting with own arms) DF adventurer, mostly silent except for npc conversations, in which he would have stock phrases. (The ones used in DF)

[freeformschooler]

I'll think about it. Still making progress on the later panels. Dry Bones is difficult for me to draw at various perspectives without reverting to my old bad Koopa-drawing habits.

Chapter 2: An Incomplete Quest

"Ah, I fear it may be too late... one last try, though. By the power of the gods watching over us, I revive this poor soul!"

Part 1: To Beanbean Castle

"Yaaaay! It worked! Dasmund's back!"

As Dasmund lies on the orange bridge, lifeless and cold, a pinkish aura surrounds him. His eyes jolt open, not fully accustomed to the bright sun over Hoohoo Village. Mary-dee hops up and down many times, but stops after a minute to turn around and look to the trail leading up the mountain.

                       

"Hey, Grand-ma-ma, is that-"



Mary-dee's grandma waves to Luigi and Dry Bones. "Ah, it is! Welcome back, green one! Looks like you've got the herbs you need. And you, heroic Koopa... it's good to see you again. I feared the worst after you told me your mission several days ago."



Dry Bones chuckles. "Heh, I don't need your worry. This state I'm in is a better reward than death itself."

Luigi is confused. How does the skeletal Koopa know these people? He decides to interrupt the conversation by telling all three of the green weirdos - through interpretive dance, of course - that he took care of the white-suited guy. He neglects to say the dude was probably his paradox brother from the fourth circle of the underworld or whatever it was.

"Heh. Thank you, green Human," Dasmund smiles and nods. "Just for you, take whatever you want from my store. I come by the stuff pretty easily, so feel free to equip yourself... and the other one."

Oh, yeah. Link. Luigi pulls out a Miracle Herb from his pocket and puts it in Link's lifeless hand.



A blue, twinkling light surrounds the body. Link is once again alive! He takes a moment to come to terms with his surroundings, then walks back behind Luigi, as he has no idea what he's supposed to be doing.

"By the way, Luigi..." Dry Bones surprises the mustachioed Mario brother by saying his name out loud. Then again, Luigi's a hero in the Mushroom Kingdom, so it's not all that surprising. "During the moments ya' were out, Peasly ran back to 'is castle, prolly to find comfort in th' chest of a courtesan. But he left me 'is golden key to give you. He said ya' should head to the capital of the Beanbean Kingdom, where he'll have some information that you'll want to hear."

After taking the key from Dry Bones, Luigi notices Mary-dee walking up to him.

"I-I'm sorry I didn't go with you. I don't think I'm cut out for this. But you should stay here as long as you want. I'm sure the blacksmiths would love to meet the new town hero."

Spoiler: OOC about sprites, names, etc (click to show/hide)

Yep, Chapter 2 is finally here! Updates won't be nearly as fast as they used to be because I'm busy with school nowadays. A couple things have been changed:

-Luigi's new sprite is now around the same size as Link. This is intentional: I never intended Luigi to be super-short. He is the tallest of the Mario brothers, after all.
-A couple ability names have been changed to be more ridiculous, per Heli's fine suggestion.

"EGADS, GENTLEMEN! EGADS!"

((Non-canon because Link can't talk))

[Darvi]

But nobody made the command ">Link: Get down" ?

[monk12]

Team Mean 'n Green, take your Finales!

Dry bones, take HP Drain!


Although it was hard to pass up the hammer time joke.
