<ROUND SIXTY-NINE>
...How do I do this again? Let's see here...

At the Upstairs Detour, Krabs decides to conscript Bass. If Chloe were here, she'd comment on him conscripting everyone in sight. He hands him a Death Egg Barrier, as well as a Gigantic Spoon. He rather immediately protests this decision, even with EN's support and dragging.

BASS: Wait, what?
BASS: A loyalty test is one thing, but bashing people's face in with a spoon? The ringleader's face?
BASS: Is there... any other way we could do this?
BASS: Besides, the dance party isn't that bad... right?

Back in the Chairian Outskirts, JOE heads off to refresh the Aurora Crystals, Crystal Pens, and Manablooms. This yields a netgain of 21 Aurora Crystals, 15 Crystal Pens, 21 Fresh Manabloom, and 10 Manabloom Seeds. He also dirts up. All this digging is surely making quite a bit of noise, though. The Noise level begins to tick up, increasing by 25%.

<KYOTOQUEST, ROUND TEN... BUT NOT REALLY>
Auth, you've made an illegal move. If you fix up your moves with Abies (recall you can't move / aim diagonally here), then I'll process this whenever I can.

<THE HALL OF SAGES, ROUND SIX>
The assault of Iti is still relentless! Fortunately, it shouldn't be too tough to clean most of them out! Anyway, most of you are decently injured- quickly taking out Droplet might be a good idea, as it'll weaken all Iti on the map for the round! Also be sure to clean up some of the fresh reinforcements / injured reinforcements, or you'll be buried in high damage attacks! Or silences. Or other unsavory things.

<THE TURNTABLES, ROUND FIVE>
DJ Headz has upgraded his arsenal of attacks! His Attack beat now targets the lowest South and highest North foes, his Mobilize beat deals more damage, his Status now applies some widespread Burn, and his Unique now heals and shields the remaining Subwoofers! Don't lose hope, though- just keep pushing through, and he will go down!

----+The Grand Hall Route+----

Mr. Krabs abruptly vanishes-in his place is what appears to be a third Venia. "I, urm, suppose there ARE different ways... For people that, urm, aren't lying."

She points with the Whispering Gauntlet hand, with her other hand behind her back. Unkbenownst to Bass (hopefully), what she's gripping is the Flux Detector, wired up to ping loudly if the person in front of her is uncomfortably empowered by Entropy (and ignore herself, possessing no less than three Entropic artifacts herself). "We may be able to... Uh. Come to an arrangement, no matter what. If you're Rose Cultist, or a spy on behalf of Rebels, or a loyalist to the Legion when the high command is, uh, basically trying to kill us all, it won't, urm, matter? But, hrm, only if you tell us the truth. Lying to me? That's, that's Impossible. So, lie, and, uh, well, you'll probably regret that. If you're straight-up, we could come to, uh, some kind of, uh, arrangement. That's all I can do to prevent you from, well... Either being stranded on some lone, desolate planet, uh, being turned over to the, the, the Inter-Universal, Inter-Universal Peace Corps, or, well. Dying, now. Probably the first two, to be honest, but, neither of those are, erm. Particularly good."

----+The Hall of Sages+----

As Chloe attains injury, another krab claw bursts through the ground to hand Chloe a Chairian Brew to drink. (OK, I guess this is me asking her to drink the brew, but same difference?)

Meanwhile, Venia chugs a Chairian Brew of her own. Combined with her beefed-up shied and her bulked-up AC, her smugness at Droplet failing to get a kill is palpable. "Ahaha, even better than, uh, your, uh, so-called, erm, 'formidible,' 'natural' best, and you, urm, you still, uh, can't kill me? That's... Uh. That, that is just too bad."

Venia abruptly grabs Droplet in a bear hug, lifting the Iti clean off the floor and denying her the armroom to operate her mic stand as a lethal weapon. Venia crackles with a familiar, chaotic energy, flashing implausible colors (mostly something arguably akin to red). She smirks as her eyes narrow, a predatory instinct kicking in.

Venia blurs out again, though after that (kind-of rehearsed-sounding) laugh, and with the fact Droplet is also blurred, the intent of the occurrence is palpable. The chaotic energy surges to a crescendo as a pillar of entropic force-whether guided by the Entropic Key, the Whispering Gauntlet, the Cardboard Amulet, or by Venia herself-abruptly crash down onto the pair, sliding off of Venia's shielded body like oil to water, leaving Droplet to take the brunt of the unusual 'lightning' bolt. She finishes by kicking Droplet back to the proper knife-fight distance.

"... Come on, you rotton loveless freak! Come, COME ON. Rotton, loveless freak, come on, come on! Loveless freak!"

Her hat takes a cheeky potshot at Droplet as well.

----+----

"YOU CLOWNS ARE, ARE, Y-YOU'RE GOING DOWN! YOUR GODS ARE SHAMS! YOUR HOLY WORD IS, IS TRASH! YOUR PRINCES, THEY AREN'T ANYTHING, AREN'T ANYTHING AT ALL, COMPARED TO US! YOUR MUSICAL TASTES, THEY, THEY'RE, THEY'RE TERRIBLE! AND WE'LL KILL YOU ALL! GET OOOOOOUT!"

Venia, abruptly hitting a bolt of inspiration, charges to K6 and uses Terraform, removing the K4, L4 and L3 walls. "Uhh, Emerald! Get over here, toss, toss these books out!"

Ette, meanwhile, recieves a Krab Claw Telegram. "Ette, move as far south on the dancefloor as you can; those dark lasers that DJ Headz is using on Emerald will now also be used on whoever's the farthest south ((assuming he's northernmost from where we're facing, anyways))! Also, Taeda is very weak-perhaps you should use your Cure ability on her? -Venia."

Zone 1, the Crater (T28)
I grab a uniform log, and create a sign. "DASKTER IS INSIDE THE CRATER, PLZ NO KILL HIM, HE'S MEDITATING! PS. THIS IS THE GUY WHO POKED THE OBSERVER" All caps, this is a great lure! I Place the sign on top of the crater.

The Hall of Sages
Weapons loaded....

I notice that Screamer1 has 40% weakness against Light, meta game heh. Moving to G9, it's barely in my Line of Sight, firing on the enemy.

Rebel Rifler move to H7, and just shoot up Daikon.

The Flamer walks to M9, points his flamethrower at the Raider, and burns him into crispy Raider. Equipped with its trusty side arm a Pistol loaded with 5 ammo (Cherry Energy) It will use as much as is required to finish off the Raider (2-3 of the free charges), unless his flames completely missed/glanced then don't bother... (Its resistance is set wrong btw)

The TurnTables
The Shield Trooper is left in an unfortunate spot, it simply sprints to N8

The Rebel Rifler walks to M11, aims and then fires upon Subwoofer 2, then Subwoofer 4, if the number 2 died somehow.

I move to N11, I grab a random scanner that I happen to have, and start scanning the Drop Dancer, also dealing some damage I guess.

Boshi just looks at Jester 2 blankly. He then smiles. "(Oh you poor, naive fool. You really think you can box me in?)"

He then proceeds to wall-run to (R14), uses a charge on the Helix Totem, and begins to dance once again (in that order).

ATTACK x2: Fire East Twice.
MOBILIZE: Don't move.
STATUS: Goes to Comet.
UNIQUE: Attack Subwoofer 4. If Juggler 5 is dead, move to (P14). Otherwise, stop at (Q14)

Keiko moves to L12, and uses a small army of a thousand paper cranes to haul Wyvern's unconscious body to M11. She then smacks him over the head with a suddenly very revive-enchanted book.

"Wake up, you descendant of Kiyohime. We have work we need to be doing."

Keiko uses Revive on Wyvern, moving him to M11!

"...Oh. Well, you look positively 66% dead there, so let me just fix that one."

Redirecting her attention to Brutishace, Keiko invokes her trait to heal them for 10 HP.

Emerald leaves the dance floor, munching on on one of Marron’s pancakes as he does, walking over to the newly terraformed L4 ”Hey DJ bro dude man. Don’t mind me, just taking a short break. And also messing with the dance floor.” From there he reaches over to the green Geo Book and tosses it down south to L7
”Book thievery! Hey tall lady.”
HoS: ”Hey! You’re not going anywhere!” He runs over to D10 and hits Daikon with a stick

"Ooh, we'll see about that!"
Toast moves to O13 and activates Heavenly Hymn once more!
ATTACK: She looses an arrow upon one Subwoofer, healing the Medkit.
ATTACK: Toast strums the harp once, before tossing another arrow at the other Subwoofer, and another heal at the medikit.
MOBILISE: Toast spins to N13, healing Irongutta and Taeda.
UNIQUE (Deviant): Toast breaks into freestyle, clearing the debuffs of the Medikit.
UNIQUE: Toast removes her Amorbreak, and takes some of the 'burn' out of Manaburn.
Finally, she slides to M12 and shoots a playful wink at Marron.

OH HOW THE TURN TABLES. i point out that my clone apparently has intelect researched, so it should gain 1 GP a round. then, my clone researches resourceful (3), and since the subwoofers that are dead still do some things? according to some text i think?, rips the innards out of subwoofer 1, then puts those innards in the inventory, making the subwoofer no longer a subwoofer. it also moves to D10. meanwhile, I move to H11 and cast illussory trap. I still have enough mana, right? ... no, but i will next turn. instead, for this turn I... idle.

HAIL OF MAGES
shame, I don't have enough mana to make more illussions! I move to F11, pause, and flip a coin just for randomness. based on the roll, either myself or my clone moves to 10C (which i can still move to since technically i'm just taking another path to the place i can normally reach), and the other to 12C. since cloneMe is a clone of me, we both attack daikon (myself also casting sharpen), and time our strikes together for more efficiency, yes? oh hey, and clone me still has my trait, so i should totally gain 10 SP per round from it instead!

Out of battle. I twist together a small flower crown of fresh manablooms, then bottle some water in a bottle. I sneak over to the place with all the diert, and put the water bottle on its side, at 58AS and within the flower crown. using the elemental blaster, I create a burst of ice around the two items, using a small aura crystal, handled delicately, to create a single vein through the ice, through which the water flows out at a smooth pace. the manabloom, preserved in the ice to avoid ageing, in turn preserves the ice and produces new water to flow out into the diert area, mana-infused water with additional power.

Terry moves to L9, then rides Whirling Blades to Q9, then fires a Shrapnel Popper south-east.

The medkit, acting as early as possible, activates Life Essence Augment and heals Bergilmir with its basic attack.

Miki moves to N10 and burns Jester1 with her basic attack.

The allied Bass Clown screams "NO BRAKES ON THE TRUMP TRAIN" at the other Bass Clown with its two Attack beats, somehow carrying out its attack and sending splash to the Drop Dancer and Subwoofer2. It then moves to N9, buffs Miki and Omo, and FUS RO DAHs the Jester with its Unique beat.

The Q moves to N12 and shoots at the Drop Dancer.

Hall of Sages Battle:

Brutishace staggers back from the slash and finds that he's at half-health! That's uncomfortable, but it's a condition he'll have to live with- for now.

He's not in a particularly favorable position- he can't hurt Daikon exceptionally badly (especially since he's behind cover), and Iti are closing in rapidly. He doesn't even have enough MP to cast Curaga on his teammates who would need it! And he should really step out of that Observer's range.

Brutishace fires a blast of harmful magic into Daikon with his Slayer Pistol, hoping to aim around his cover, and retreats to H8. Those Iti will be nasty if they get within range.

Hopefully his allies will cover him- he'll definitely try returning the favor.

Turntables Battle:

Things are not looking good for the Simulacrum. It's at a third of its health, it can't cast anything, and it can't meditate safely with the Beam Barrage over its head.

Those Subwoofers need destroying, but it's not really in a good spot to hit them... those minions also need destroying, which should be accomplished.

The Simulacrum moves over to O12 and shoots Jester 2 with its Slayer Pistol. A small move, but that's all that can be done, and every other minion is due for death anyhow.

Battle Actions in a bit

HALL OF SAGES
Simeon attempts to Sprint to I2, but since he's been timestopped, he only moves there instead.

TURNTABLES
"BERG! LOOK OUT!"
Simeon moves to M12 and, Phase Switches with Bergilmir, getting him off the red tiles. As the Ice Giant is hopefully shunted to somewhere else, Simeon grips his spear tightly, Charging up. He stabs Subwoofer 2 Twice, Moves to O9, Applies a Status to Miki-Chan, and UNIQUEs a Laser through Jester1. With that done, he takes a deep breath.
"That.... was close," he said breathlessly. "Too close."

Teag goes to J12 and shoots the Bass Clown with a range-boosted shot.

Originally posted on 2018-06-28 23:38:00

Irongutta moves to Q12, making sure to avoid Juggler 5's ZoC if it is still alive. Either way he moves there by using N13, O12, and P12. This movement totals to four spaces moved, meaning that Irongutta's trait and Charging Vest are activated!

Irongutta expends 4 MP to target Subwoofer 2 with his Gitzappa Lens! He then follows the Beatmap using his weapon ability.

ATTACK
Irongutta strikes Juggler 5. Alternatively if the clown is dead he targets Subwoofer 2.
ATTACK
Irongutta then strikes Subwoofer 2!
MOBILIZE
He doesn't move.
STATUS
Irongutta buffs himself and Bergilmir.
UNIQUE
Irongutta moves the Bass Clown at R9 two spaces down to R11! That'll show 'em.

Wyvern lifts himself up off of the floor, and gets to his feet. His eyes, which were previously gray and lifeless have been restored to their piercing yellow color. The dull pain in his head quickly fades. His eyes light up as he thanks Keiko for the help.

"Thank youu~!"

Wyvern then steadies himself and hops over to P10. He tears into the Drop Dancer with Bloodlust.
