And here it is!

This sees the debut of *two* new AIL characters, but other than that, I think I'll leave my comments til the end and let you dig into this one! Enjoy!

Once again, some of the *funniest* lines in AIL history come from this series!

(RP Notes: After a fairly small first two two parts, we really cut loose in part three! You'll see excitement, humor, dangerous battles! Prepare yourself for the turtle king, and the debut of not one, not three, but two brand new allies of KOKOL!

(Our five heroes unite in this epic third of three parts!) <You are in the village. One mushroom, presumably their spiritual leader, has said that if you defeat the great turtle-badger then that will be proof that you are not BADGERS. Then, the mushroom people will return you to your land.>

<As soon as we're out of sight, Becky starts chanting, "Badger badger badge!">

<Someone else approaches, wearing armor and robes.>

<Becky hides behind Todd.>

<Todd bops Becky with his tail.>

Mushroom: "It's another badger."

(New character- you've been transported to the pixilated world.)

(Everything's more pixilated. You've been wandering around.)

(This is the first village you've come to.)

(The mushroom just accused you of being a BADGER.)

(Becky denied it.)

Konall: "Who are you?"

<Todd nods at the newcomer then speaks low to the others.> "Let's see how tough this is gonna be." <He then strides forward with a smile on his face.> "Hello there, my dear gentlefur!"

Becky: "Hey, how come you call us a badger? I twenty three!"

<A slightly disheveled looking figure in bright yellow pixilated robes over a slight rusty looking suit of armor walks into the village with a slight frown on his lips. He takes a look around and shakes his head causing his long red hair to cascade down his shoulders.>

Konall: "Hi. Nice to see another person who's not all pixilated. Welcome! Who are you?"

Becky: "I'm Becky and he's Todd!"

Konall: "I'm Konall."

Becky: "I already know you, Konall!"

Todd: "I'm T- what she said. How may we be of service to you, kind sir?"

<Konall is a large Viking warrior in good armor carrying a huge axe/hammer.>

<Becky looks like she's about 21 years old, but bounces around like someone half her age.>

<Todd is a fox.. although he prefers "dashingly handsome.">

Becky: "Hey Spaz, how many kinds of mushrooms can you name?!"

<The slightly lost and disoriented knight looks around the crowd of strange talking being that had gathered around him and nods sagely as he listens to their introductions.>

Sir Fumblies: "I am Sir Fumblies Falanges and, well, I would like to know where I am."

<Maximal is sitting kind of alone from everyone. Looking strangely in the direction of his horse.>

Spaz: "Portabella, shiitake, cheese, cantaloupe, Swiss, Canada."

(Again, the world is pixilated and we're outside a Mushroom people village.)

<Maximal the half-elf looks in the direction of the group, then sighs and looks back t'words his horse.>

Becky: "There no Becky mushrooms?!"

Spaz: "Hey, there's a pork elf up there! What's he doing here?"

Becky: "Mebbe he lookin' for Becky mushrooms. I better go help!"

<The half-orc hakes his head slightly as he listens to the talk about mushrooms while waiting to hear where he was.>

<Becky skips towards the stranger with the horse, of course, of course.>

Konall: "Hey, elf, are you friend or foe?"

<Maximal looks at Konall.>

Max: "Friend nor foe do I be, for I have never seen ye 'fore!" <Max shouts back>

Becky: "Wanna be buddies?!"

Konall: "Well, you're a real person. Under the circumstances that makes you friendly company."

Becky: "Hey.. orc.. we don't know where we are either, but we wanna get back. Did you know Seaside Town's on fire?!"

Max: <To Becky> "I don't know yet, darlin'. <shouting to Konall> "Aye, I be real... but the question is are you?" <Max looks at his horse.>

Konall: "Well, do you want to get back to the real world?"

Becky: "We should all say yes!"

Sir Fumblies: "And just where is Seaside Town? <He gets a look of confusion on his face as he hand slips to his waist where his trusty short sword is resting.>

Max: "Are you sure this isn't it, and that the other world is the fake world?"

Konall: "Maybe, but the other world has better graphics."

Todd; "Yeah man, we're all really real!" <Pulls out his guitar and strums the tune to "Get back." Because he can.>

<Maximal laughs uproariously> Max: "Stranger that I've never yet met, that be the wisest thing you'd done yet. Aye, I will try to go home wit' ye!"

<Spaz accompanies on accordion.>

<Becky sings "lalala" to the tone.>

Konall: "Supposedly there's what they call a turtle-badger that's giving them a lot of grief."

<Maximal looks at the horse for a second and then he stands, leading the horse by the reigns t'words the group.>

Konall: "BADGER appears to be their word for demon."

Max: <Saying to Becky> "Ye comin' darlin'?"

Becky: "K-kayerz!"

<Todd smirks and mutters to himself> "Not on the first date she isn't."

<Sir Fumblies starts to pace as he tries to make sense of the situation he now finds himself in. As he walks he finds himself listening to the conversation that was taking place without saying a thing.>

<Becky looks back at Sir wondering why he's so quiet.>

Konall: "If we take care of the thing, they'll send us back to our world, which is on fire at the moment, but it's still home."

Becky: "I I I think I saw someone!"

<Sir stops pacing and looks around to see a bunch of mushroom people approaching from the village.>

Max: "Funny thing about fire me-boyo... they more they burn the less there be to do on a date night."

<A bunch of goombas walk by us.>

<Max eyes the mushroom people with a weird look on his face, then shudders and falls to the ground with seizure like shaking.>

Becky: "You okay, stranger #2?"

<Blinks slightly and then shakes his head wondering just how he had gotten into this dream.. if that was what it was just as one of the others falls to the ground.>

<Max continues to shake for a while as his horse get's between him and everyone else.>

Becky: "We need weapons! This place is crazy!"

Sir Fumblies: "Uhhh do you know if there is any fire flowers around?"

<The head of the mushroom people steps up.>

<Todd smiles at the stranger when he says that.>

Todd: "There's always the Judge. That place'll be standin even if Higgy's gotta get out and piss on the fire himself!"

<Max starts to calm down a bit as his horse nuzzles him gently.>

Head mush: "Greetings, I am the head mush, and in order to provide you with that information, you must solve a devious riddle!"

<Max slowly begins to raise himself to his feet, the shaken has died down for now.>

Head mush: "Would you like to take my challenge?"

Head mush: "Go north to the mysterious door and open it. The only clue is a mat which says 'Key underneath.' Our greatest minds are baffled by it."

<Max joins the group, standing wearily next to Becky.>

Becky: "You okay, new person?"

<Sir Fumblies nods slowly then starts off towards the north with a thoughtful grin on his lips.>

<Todd watches Max and Becky.>

<Max quietly nods at Becky as his horse remains by his shoulder untethered.>

Becky: "Hey, how you know what way north is?!"

<Becky rushes to follow him.>

<Sir Fumbles points to a nearby tree that has moss growing only on one side of it.>

Max: <under his breath> "Damn, must be something pulling him that way... hopes it's north."

Mysterious Voice: "Yes!! Yes it is!"

Sir Fumblies: "Well last I knew moss only grows on the north side of a tree."

<Sir Fumblies looks around for the mysterious voice.>

<Max looks around.> Max: "Did ye all hear something?"

Becky: "Me too, I heard something too!"

<Todd's ears twitch as he looks around- trying to pinpoint the sound.>

Becky: "I'm a scared Becky, Todd!"

<Todd draws Becky close to him.> "Nothin to be scared of, sug."

<Fumblies quickly casts a spell to detect invisible people but has it back fire as he trips on a branch, causing him to fall sending the spell back at him as which turns him invisible as he missays a key word under his breath.>

<Slayer hears a noise and runs off to investigate.>

<We don't notice. He's invisible.>

<A pixilated airship flies lazily overhead.>

<Max hears something weird and looks up in disbelief.>

<Todd looks as well, shading his eyes> "THE f-?"

<Max looks at Becky and speaks> Max: "Did I just see what I think I saw?"

Becky: "Maybe, I was busy counting the dots on the mushroom!"

Konall: "I see a big turtleshell up ahead."

Becky: "Let's go count the dots on it!"

<Max looks at the mushroom people and whispers in Becky's ear.> Max: "Which one?"

Spaz: "I don't see any dots. Just spikes."

Becky: "All of 'em!"

<It's actually a large castle built to look like a turtle shell. It's blue. With wings.>

(Can we assume there are guards?)

(Yes, turtles.)

<Max looks at everyone else, still holding his horse by the reigns.>

Becky: "Spaz, maybe you can challenge them to a race and if we win, we get the castle?!"

Spaz: "Um, I suppose."

Konall: "That's not a good idea. Spaz is a sprinter. Any race longer than 30 seconds... Spaz gets distracted."

Becky: "Oh, sorry Spaz! You tried your best!"

(In Becky's mind, Spaz just lost a race.) :)

<Max grins> Max: "How about Buttercup then?"

<Max pets the muzzle of his horse.>

<Spaz is still wearing suspenders.>

<Becky finds it to be overly warm.>

Spaz: "If we can figure out how to get in without a fight, it'll be a lot easier."

Konall: "Spaz, what did you just say?"

Becky: "Hm.. Konall, he's right. We should get in a fight cause it's more fun!"

<Max looks at Spaz> Max: "Are they humanoid, or just turtles do you think?"

Becky: "Hm.. we could walk around them.. no that's dumb, I'm sorry!"

Max: "I say man, are they humanoid, do ye think?"

Becky: "Who're you asking?!"

<Max looks around> Max: "Any of ye that has the best eyesight!"

Becky: "I don't think they're very human!"

Spaz: "They seem stupid."

Becky: "And not very smart, either."

Spaz: "True."

Max: "Then I might as well try. Lass." <looking kindly at Becky> "Would ye hold my horse?"

<Becky tries to pick up his horse, but is too weak.>

Max: <chuckling slightly> "No lass, here take the reigns." <Max holds the reigns out for Becky to take. She looks confused.>

<Konall picks up the horse.>

<Becky climbs up Konall and sits on the horse and takes the reigns!>

Becky: "Thanks Konall!"

<Max looks in the direction of the turtles and gets a funny look on his face. All of the sudden Max hits the ground whimpering and shaking in another seizure.>

Becky: "Can you carry me closer to him so I can see if he's okay?!"

<Max whimpers> "They are humanoid." <As he falls to the ground.>

<Konall pours a healing potion on Max.>

<Max stops shaking and stands up slowly.> Max: "Thanks sir.... they are humanoid., very primitive but humanoid none the less."

Becky: "What'd happen if you dropped the horse on them?!"

Konall: "Okay. I'll take the half on the left. The rest of you can take the half on the right."

Becky: "I gotta go with you, you're carrying me!"

<Max looks at Konall> Max: "Please sir, don't drop Buttercup.... I think I can hold her reigns now."

<Konall sets the horse down.>

<Becky falls off.>

Becky: "Oowie."

<Max holds his hand out for Becky.>

<Becky grabs his hand and stands up, then thanks him.>

Becky: "How do I start a fight scene?!"

Konall: "You want me to pick a fight for you?"

Becky: "Yea, that might be a good idea.. can you?"

<Konall fires a fiery arrow at a turtle. It gets knocked inside its shell. The others look around, but haven't spotted you yet.>

<Becky pouts at her inability to start a fight.>

<Spaz runs in and starts throwing fireballs at turtles. Two get picked off.>

<Becky yells and casts her first level snow storm, an area attack that's pretty wild!>

<Becky annihilates a turtle. Flying turtles are now coming at you. 4 of them.>

<Max stands away from Becky a little and draws his dagger from his boot.>

Becky: "Maxi, halp!"

<Konall shoots another, hits a turtleshell, and sends it flying into another turtle.>

<Max takes another dagger from up his sleeve and hurls it at an on coming turtle. His horse paws at the air and rushes the remaining 3.>

<Becky holds up her toy yeti focusing device.>

<The turtle gets knocked into its shell. The turtles attack the horse, but the horse tramples the turtles. The horse takes 5 damage and defeats all the turtles.>

<Max brings his arm up and his horse returns. Max begins to take care of Buttercups wounds.>

(Horse HP is 40 for this mission. Max HP max is 25 for this mission.)

<Konall shoots a turtle out of the sky.>

<Turtles attack Konall for 8 damage, all of it going straight to the armor.>

<Becky decides to show off by saving up a level 2 attack spell.>

(How many turtles are left?)

(3, in the air around Konall.)

<Max looks down at his throwing second throwing knife and looks up at Konall.>

Max: <muttering to himself> "He's too close to them!"

<Max runs t'words Konall, Buttercup reaching him faster than Max.>

<Spaz fireballs a turtle out of the air. He gets hit, and he loses his suspenders and goes down to half his size.>

<Todd sings a Death Metal solo.>

<It finishes all the nearby turtles and the enemy mushrooms.>

<Buttercup nuzzles Konall as the Turtles drop to the ground.>

<Becky unleashes freezing armor on Todd to keep him safe!>

(The armor protects against 13 points of damage.)

Konall: "Time to see who's home."

<Buttercup returns to Max's shoulder, and he doesn't pick up her reigns as she follows him.>

<Becky pets the horse nervously.>

<Todd thanks the gods he's got fur as he gets wrapped in ice.>

<Does the ice shield actually make the wearer cold? Unanswered.)

<Konall walks over to the castle gates and tries to open them. They don't open. HE takes out his massive war hammer and starts using what he calls "Viking lockpicking.">

Becky: "D'ya like my ice, Todd?! It'll keep you safe!"

<Max smiles at Becky and Buttercup> Max: "She's a nice horse, but please be careful of her BooBoos."

Todd: "Thank ya, honey."

<Konall bursts in the door.>

(So much for the key and the mat, LOL...)

(Or is that another door?)

(Another door.)

(Oh ok.. and it's for a cave right?)

<Behind the door is another door.>

<It's bigger and thicker.>

<Becky gives it a gentle kick.>

<You learn several new swear words from Konall.>

<Max looks in at the new door, wonder on his face.>

<Door does not burst in.>

Becky: "It's invincible!"

<Max asks Konall> "Do ye be having another burst of strength Sir?"

<Konall tests its invincibility. It gets damaged, but doesn't burst in.>

Konall: "I'm not going to waste my strength berserking on this now."

Becky: "Look for a mat!"

Konall: "Northward I guess."

(Maxi is probably looking for a man with no legs and arms lying in front of the new door.)

<He bangs on the door one last time.>

<No luck.>

<Becky tries the door knob.>

<It's locked.>

Becky: "Whoever built this door is very smart!"

Max: "You think so?"

Becky: "Yup.. pretty smart.. hey do you like to color?!"

Konall: "And they've got good door-making skills at least."

<Becky makes big girl eyes.>

<Max looks at Buttercup with a strange expression and the horse walks in front of the new door, turns around and Kicks back hard.>

<The door is taking damage, but it's got a ways to go yet. You've got it 1/4 bashed in.>

<Becky aims her finger at it and starts building up for an ice snipe, 3 turns.>

<Max looks at the door and frowns, then goes into his belt pouch and get's out some long and slender metal things (lockpicks) and tries to unlock the door.>

<Todd hmms- then play Mood Music to affect everyone's strengthiness.>

<The lock is incredibly complex.>

<Max fails to pick the lock.>

<Max backs away from the door, repeating some of Konall's swear words from earlier. Buttercup follows him to the rear of the group as he puts his Lock Picking utensils away.>

Spaz: "Well, let's see if we can find that guy, Matt."

Becky: "I gotta ice snipe it!"

Konall: "Go ahead."

<Spaz boosts her will before she casts it.>

<Becky builds up her energy a bit more!>

<Max looks on with a look of panic.>

<Todd then shifts the tune slightly and boosts Becky's magic as well.>

<Becky blasts!>

<Becky attacks the door FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE. She completely wrecks the lock. It's covered in a fragile layer of ice. And there's a hole inside. You can see terrified turtles behind it. They take off running.>

<Spaz hits the door with fire. Rapid heating and cooling and all that.>

(Would have been funny if she just froze it making it harder to get by.) :)

<Todd slumps, and pants a bit.>

<Konall hits it with a power attack. The ice shatters off. The door splinters. He hits it again.>

Becky: "Spaz, we're cold then we're hot!"

Konall: "I'm tapped out. I need a rest."

<Max looks at the door and smiles gleefully. Taking out a throwing axe he throws it hard at the door.>

Todd: "Yeah, man... take five...Whew!"

<The door shudders. The axe digs in and makes a hole.>

<Buttercup get's back in front of the door and backs up to it and kicks back hard.>

<The door breaks down.>

<Max stops and retrieves his throwing axe.> (Damn, forgot to get the knife from earlier... down to 2 now.)

<There's a long hallway, it seems empty.>

(Well, should we get the mushroom men and tell them that we opened it LOL. No Key required!)

(A cave with a door, hmmm...)

Konall: "Now that was some impressive Viking lockpicking."

Becky: "You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friend's locks!"

<Todd notices something odd about the ceiling.>

<Max laughs and buttercup snickers as if she understood Konall.>

Todd: "Hold up a sec." <Takes a better look at the ceiling>

(Konall has a roguishness of 2 and a roll of 2, total of 4.)

<Konall bumps his head on a chandelier and takes 1 hot damage.>

<Todd smirks> "Said hold up a sec big guy."

<Becky dances around Todd.>

Konall: "Sorry, didn't hear you."

Becky: "Lala, what ya doin?!"

Todd: "That's cause yer ears are all the way up there."

Spaz, "Yeah, it's a bit odd."

Max: "You're ears? Odd?... or whatever you bumped into?"

Spaz: "Why does my intestinal tract seem different?"

Becky: "I told you not to eat those hobo clothes!"

<Konall gets mad and smashes the chandelier.>

<Max looks through the doorway and then at his horse with a weird expression on his face. You notice that the horse nods a little and that it get's closer to Max.>

Konall: "What's the holdup?"

Konall: "Yeah, weird ceiling. We've seen worse."

Spaz: "Remember the terrible ceiling of Norgad."

Todd: "I'd say 'On your head be it' but it already has."

Konall: "Plaid with spots. Who could forget?"

<Konall walks down the hall, shield and sword out.>

<Max lights a rag on fire and ties it to the end of his throwing axe. Taking aim he throws the axe down the hallway.>

(Now do we see anything?)

<Becky wonders why it's so dark with her eyes shut sometimes.>

<A giant block drops down and crushes the axe. It slowly moves back into place.>

(So much for that axe.)

<Konall runs out and warhammers it into gravel.>

Konall: "Thwomp!"

Becky: "Whatchya doin?"

<Spaz hands Maxi a flattened throwing axe.>

Konall: "I'll repair that for you when this is over."

Max: "Ahhhhh... thanks.... I think. Sorry about that."

<Max nods at Konall>

Spaz: "He's as good at fixing things as he is at breaking them."

Konall: "Almost as good."

<Max chuckles> Max: "There's some nasties in d'er. See that Block?"

Konall: "Saw it."

<Max grins evilly.>

Max: "Now that we saw it, me boyo... what 'er we gunna do about it?"

Konall: "I got that one. Maybe there's others."

<Max nods.>

Spaz: "Normally you take the big beefy guy and have him set off all the traps."

<Spaz motions at Konall.>

<Becky waves her hand in front of her face.>

Konall: "Huh?"

<Max looks at Becky> Max: "You can open your eyes now lass."

Becky: "I forgot how!"

<Buttercup comes over and nuzzles Becky's neck after a look from Max.>

<Becky opens her eyes and pets the horse.>

<Max grins.>

Becky: "Oh I guess I forgot that I forgot how. Cool!"

Todd: "We need someone big and durable- or small and agile."

Max: "I wonder if that door we busted in had a lock that turned off all those unholy things." <Max goes and inspects the door jam where the doorknob's latch would slide into the door.>

Konall: "I'm hard to kill. And I think those things were alive, which means I'm holding the off switch."

Spaz: "I'm agile. Of course, if we can spot them we can avoid them."

<Todd move up to the edge of the block rubble and looks further down the hall.>

(Anyone want to see if that door latch area has a switch or something in it for me... roll wise?)

<Nope. No switch.>

<Becky is still petting the horse.>

<You don't spot any switches. You can see a couple thwomps in the ceiling.>

<Max looks up and notices some rock thingamajig things.>

<Max points to the Thwomps.>

<Todd moves up to the very edge of the next block.>

Max: "What're those?"

<The block is trembling, but not moving yet.>

<Todd gets a smidgen under it and it falls quickly. He dodges back easily.>

<It's on the ground and will begin going back up slowly in a second.>

Todd: "NOW big guy!"

<Konall hits the block and smashes it.>

<Max is stunned at the simplicity of this action. He starts to tremble, knowing something will go wrong soon, but not knowing why.>

<You manage to go most of the hallway clearing these blocks in this manner.>

<Becky sings and dances along happily oblivious to the danger.>

<One of them hits Konall, but you manage to finish it off. He's hurting. You come to another door.>

<Becky looks for a doormat.>

<There is no doormat.>

Becky: "No doormat!"

<Todd knocks> Todd: "Welcome Wagon."

<Max finds an Oyster egg inside his shoe.>

<Max Gasps> Max: "What do ye think this is?" <As he holds up the Oyster egg for all to see.>

Konall: "It's an Oyster egg. The magical oyster hides them across the land."

<Becky starts looking frantically for them!>

Todd: "Hopefully not from the Rocky Mountains.."

<Becky finds another Oyster egg, hidden inside an Oyster egg.>

(This one restores 5 mp.)

Becky: "Not as cool as a warp pipe but pretty nice! Let's fight the big boss before the timer runs out!"

<Max looks around for a timer.>

Max: "Huh? Whatd'ya mean lass?"

<The door before you is pretty impressive. Something cool has to be behind it.>

<There's also another door to your right. It's smaller.>

<Max looks at the smaller door and checks the knob to see if it is unlocked.>

<It's locked.>

<Max looks down on the floor for that floormat.>

<There's a floormat on the left side. But there doesn't appear to be a door there.>

<Max lights a taper and see's checks to see if there is writing on the mat.>

<There's writing. "The spare key is not under this mat.">

<Max attempts to lift the mat... if he does, he looks under the mat.>

<Under the mat is, a green Oyster egg. It smells. And a key.>

<Max grabs the egg and key looking to see if they could be fit together.>

<They can't.>

<Max drops the mat, then stands on it and looks at the wall right in front of it.>

<He spots a hidden door.> (Rolled for that.)

<The door does not have a keyhole.>

<It has a hidden button.>

Todd: "Push the button Max."

<Becky is lost in thought!>

<Max looks to his companions.>

Max: "Guys, there is a door here and a button here... what do you want me to do, by committee?"

Konall: "Doesn't matter to me."

Becky: "Oh.. oh! Let's write about our feelings and stuff!"

Konall: "That's just crazy talk."

<Max looks at Becky with a baffled look.>

Max: "Eh lass... It's kinda dark to write in here isn't it?"

Todd: "Like I said man- Push the thing already!"

<Max looks around at the group again and presses the button.>

<Spaz conjures a little bolt of flame.>

<Max then jumps to the left really fast after doing so.>

Becky: "Hey, the sign says the key isn't under the mat and now it isn't.. so it's true now."

<The door opens. A pile of red flowers tumble out.>

(Great a flower Cabinet.. or do they shoot fire and try to kill us?>

(No.)

(Does Max have a clue about that green egg and what it's for?)

Becky: "Now let's sneak under a jumping turtle and hit the axe and get out of here!"

(It seems like it might deal stench damage if you threw it at something.)

<Max hands the Key to Todd and inspects the flowers.>

<Spaz picks one up. He gains a pair of white suspenders and doubles in size.>

<Max takes 1 sleaze damage for a rude ooc comment.>

<Max looks at the much Spaz.>

Max: "You ok man?"

Spaz: "I'm fine."

Spaz: "I feel like I could burninate everyone."

<Max ponders something.>

Max: "Do you see anything that high that you didn't see before?"

Becky: "Spaz, can I eat a flower?!"

Spaz: "Go ahead. They're good for you."

<Becky scarfs it right on down!>

<Becky holds her mouth and cries.>

<Becky doubles in size and is wearing a red dress and carries a white parasol.>

Becky: "I hate hot!"

Becky: "Oh, I like Spaz now!"

<Becky hands one to Maxi.>

Becky: "Hey, how come I know your name?!"

<Konall eats one. Turns red with white suspenders.>

<Max doesn't reach for it, watching his friends.>

<Becky shrugs and offers it to his horse instead.>

<Buttercup eats the flower.>

<Buttercup doubles in size, looks lizard-like, and can breath fire.>

Max: "Because Buttercup told it to you."

<Max moves over to the smaller door and looks for a keyhole.>

Becky: "Oh, thank you, Buttercup!"

<A raccoon suit tumbles out as well.>

<Buttercup neighs and licks Becky with her now forked tongue.>

<Becky giggles!>

<Becky jumps up and floats in the air with her parasol.>

<Max trips and falls into the Raccoon Suit.>

<Todd sniffs it then eats the flower.>

<Max doubles is size and can fly.>

<Todd doubles in size, suspenders, red and white motif for his fur.>

<Max looks back at the floor and doesn't see the suit. When he stands up he notices that he -really- stands up. He looks to the wall/door that was in front of him a minute ago.>

Becky: "This's fun!"

(There's the main door and the secondary door.)

Becky: "Should we look for the secret door, Konall?"

Konall: "Besides the one we just found?"

Becky: "Yeah!"

Konall: "I'm curious about the secondary door."

Konall: "Looks like the treasury."

<Max looks at the secondary door for a keyhole.>

<There's a keyhole there.>

<Max tries the key in the little door.>

<The key unlocks the door.>

<The door opens and inside is a mass of gold coins.>

<Max removes the key from the little door, steps to the big door and looks for a keyhole.>

Konall: "By the beard of Odin! It's all worthless gold. Where's the meat?"

(Meat is the currency of the realm. Well, KOL.)

<Todd loots with glee.>

<Key worked like a normal key in a lock.>

Becky: "Maybe they use gold in this world?"

Todd: "Figure it this way, man. IF they want to hide it here- it's gotta be worth somethin' here."

<Max inspects the big door.>

Konall: "Maybe. But I'm eager to kill the thing and get out of here."

<Konall loots some coins.>

<The door is big, and massive, and large, and also it fails to be small.>

<Becky gets a small bag and follows Konall.>

<It's a set of double doors with massive handles.>

Todd: "Maybe here meat grows on trees?"

<Buttercup goes over to the pile of gold, and snouts some coins dragging them on the ground to Maximal. Maximal picks up the pile and puts them in his coin pouch.>

<Spaz loots the shinies.>

<Max tries to open the doors by the handles.>

Konall: "All right, now can we kill someone?"

<Todd finds an Oyster egg, hidden under a pile of gold.>

<The door opens. There's a massive turtle inside, spiky, almost dragon-like, sitting on a throne. He glares at you.>

<Todd looks at it and grins at Konall> "Man, you need a hobby. Personally I 'bird' watch."

(The oyster egg is plastic and spiked. That's why he didn't eat it.)

Becky: "I found a hundred bells too!"

Konall: "Whoop de doo."

Konall: "All right, turtle-thing. Time to die."

Turtle: "Why?"

Konall: "Are you evil."

Turtle: "Well, yeah."

Becky: "Hey, Mr. Ugly turtle, wanna join our team and play some softball?!"

Todd: "Hey- some of the birds I've seen." <Wolf whistles>

Konall: "Good enough."

Turtle: "I'm not in a sporting mood."

(Koopa? or one of those 1st level boss's out of curiosity?)

(Koopa.)

Becky: "Hm.. how bout go karting?"

<Max looks at Becky> Max: "No lass, Golf.. it's gotta be Golf."

Koopa: "How about competitive killing?"

Konall: "Oh, so you're a Viking too?"

Becky: "Aww.. I don't like that game.. and I don't know what a go kart is.. do you, Todd?"

<Max laughs as Buttercup blows fire out of her Snout t'wards the turtle thing. Max takes to the air, perching just on top of the door frame.>

<The fireball hits the Koopa.>

<Becky throws a fireball too and giggles.>

(Does her fireballs turn into ice balls though?) (Steam maybe. :P)

<Buttercup charges in the room blowing another fireball out of her snout as Maxi jumps to her back, riding to get closer then dives off to the left.>

<The turtle gets hit again. He breathes fire at Buttercup and Maxi.>

(Max dove to the left... was it on time to miss the fireball?)

<They get hit and Maxi is dismounted. No damage.>

<Todd tries throwing the egg at Koopa.>

(You're in another dimension. DungeonMaster feels like changing the rules a bit.)

(The turtle is massive and easy to hit.)

<Buttercup attempts to sidestep the fireball as Max throws that green egg at the turtle dude.>

<The eggs hits and Koopa takes stench damage.>

Koopa: "Who dealt that."

Max: "Who'ever smelt it dealt it!"

Todd: "He who smelt it, brother."

<Becky makes a face.>

Becky: "Boys have weird senses of humor!"

<Spaz fireballs the Koopa.>

<Konall runs toward it, hammer raised.>

<Max flies above the Koopa and gets behind him.>

<Todd sings all he can- a beastly bellow.>

(Boosting furries.)

(That would help Buttercup too, right?)

<The Koopa roars and looks stronger.>

(Did that song just make Koopa even more of a killer Koopa?)

(Yeah.)

<Buttercup seems stronger.>

(Look at Max's horse- you'll think it's amazing!)

<Todd is stronger.>

Todd: "Whups.. didn't mean for THAT to happen!"

(Hey, the spell boosts things that are at least part animal.)

<Becky turns towards Maxi and casts cold armor on him!>

<Buttercup blows another fireball t'words Koopa.>

<The Koopa takes more damage.>

<Max flies again and lands on top of the Koopa.>

<Maxi is protected by even more armor.>

<Max stomps the Koopa.>

<The Koopa swings at Max, but misses.>

<Buttercup fires another fireball at Koopa, max continues to fly and fall on top of Koopa.>

<Konall berserks and slams Koopa for 40 damage.>

(Nice berserk!)

<Koopa covers Konall in fire.>

<Konall hammers the beast for another 40 damage.>

<Becky finds a Paper super plumber doll, pulls out her to yeti, and sits down to play out a fight making 'zoom' noises.>

(Her play ability) :)

<The spiky egg boosts your attack.>

<Becky charges a spell.>

<The stench egg was super effective.>

<Buttercup runs up to the Koopa and turns around, kicking back hard.>

<Max jumps up in the air again and bashes Koopa.>

(There are 5 elements. Sleaze, stench, fire, spooky, cold.)

(Sleaze and stench are super effective here.)

<Todd Snickres and does a suggestive dance. Music to dance to.)

<Buttercup gets a big hit in, but Koopa swats Max out of the air. Max is halved in size.>

<Max runs back out of the room and to the pile of flowers and touches one.>

<That'll take a couple turns.>

<Konall's halved in size as well, from the fire. He hammers the turtle again and then takes off after Max.>

<Just barely avoiding a solid clawing.>

<Buttercup runs away, spinning and then shooting off another fireball at Koopa.>

<Koopa takes a solid hit.>

<Becky fires off a freezing bolt, and Koopa takes a hit.>

<Spaz pelts him repeatedly with fireballs.>

<Buttercup rears back and paws at the air on two legs.>

<Buttercup goes near the wall and then starts peppering Koopa with fireballs.>

<Maxi huffs another fire flower and grows in size again. Konall's right behind him and takes another.>

<Koopa breathes fire at Becky, but she dodges.>

<Max looks at Konall> Max: "Too much exercise is bad for the health, 'eh?"

<Max runs back into the room, when he crests the doors he flips his 2nd of 3rd throwing knife out and throws it at the Koopa.>

<Becky puts her toys away.>

<Max's knives stab into the turtle.>

<Koopa turns red and gets angry. He's moving faster now, but he's also bleeding cubic blood.>

(Becky's done playing, yeah.)

<Max throws his last throwing knife and follows it up by shooting a fireball.>

(Cubic blood mean alot?)

(Or blood in cube shapes?)

<Max hits it agian.>

<Konall shoots an arrow at it.>

<The blood is pixilated cubes.>

<Becky is worried for Konall and throws cold armor on him.>

Konall: "Thanks."

<Spaz pelts the turtle with even more fireballs.>

<Becky looks worried.>

<Seabiscuit... errr. Buttercup fires another fireball and then follows the ball into Koopa. She spins around and buck kicks him again.>

<The turtle breathes fire on Spaz.>

<But Spaz happens to be a being born of fire. He just eats it. Nice!>

<The beast slams buttercup and reduces her to a normal horse.>

<Buttercup runs t'words the exit, after looking at Max to go get another flower.>

<Konall fires another arrow and misses. Koopa is moving fast now.>

<Becky is hot and starts building up a shield for herself. Level 2.>

<Koopa breathes fire at Becky, but Konall stands in front of her and blocks.>

Becky: "Thaaaank yooooou!"

<Max shoots a fireball off and then jumps on top of Koopa, taking his boot dagger and stabbing down with it to finish the jump.>

<Max's attack finishes the turtle, and defeats it. It disappears in a puff of obsolescence.>

<A door behind the throne opens up.>

<Becky casts a big ole' ice armor on herself!>

<Max falls to the ground through the smoke of Koopa left and rolls to his feet as Buttercup returns from getting the flower.>

<Becky claps and holds up a sign with an 8.6 on it for Max.>

<Spaz holds up a 7.5.>

<Konall holds up 4.3>

Spaz: "And the Norse judge is not impressed."

<Buttercup eyes Konall angrily snorting.>

Becky: "Well, I only has one sign anyway."

<Becky whistles an oddly familiar theme.>

<Spaz goes to take a look inside the newly revealed room.>

<Konall follows.>

<Max and buttercup follow Spaz and Konall.>

<Becky slips in behind Konall. As she does, Sir Fumbles turns visible finally and explains how he was unable to talk or interact with them while invisible, oops!>

<Todd starts to follow. He holds his nose, realizing the stinky hippie Gail (Awakensun) has finally made her way back to join them.>

<There's a mushroom retainer in there.> "I'm sorry, but your princess is in another castle, as usual."

Todd: "Told you there was a princess involved somehow."

Konall: "Do you know enough magic to send us back home?"

Mushroom: "Yes."

Becky: "Huh? How come you're not accusing us of being badgers like everyone else?!"

Max: "Badgers... we don't need no stinkin' badgers!"

<Before you have time to say or do anything else, he whisks you all to the regular world. Everything is less pixilated and more on fire. Oh, and there's Knob Goblin warriors roaming the place, ready to attack. And you're probably split up at this point, too.>

<Welcome to Seaside Town. Enjoy your stay!>

Let's see how the fire saga turns out.
