SUPER KEANE MCZUPP SIXTY SEVEN 2: FIVE SAKURA YEDOENSISES

Keane admires his igloo handiwork, satisfied, before looking around for a good place to sit. If there's nowhere good, he sets up a sort of... firepit-esque area, dragging over any felled logs nearby before sitting down and taking out his guitar. He strums absentmindedly, before glancing over and spotting Harmony.

KEANE: Oh, hey!
KEANE: I, uh, like your... arms...?
KEANE: T-That isn't weird to say, is it?
KEANE: But, uh, hi! I'm Keane McZupp! It's nice to meet you!

Paige Begins to Battle

As Debbie and Paige hop to the Outlands, they're met with a lot of Iti. Ourple ones, too. Paige's face lights up as she sees a Patche in the backline, even as she prepares for combat.

PAIGE: Sister!
PAIGE: ...probably more like a cousin? Whatever!
PAIGE: Sister! Please, stand down before anyone gets hurt!

---

Battle action: Paige spawns on E3, waits for Lepidodendron to spawn, casts her Special on Lepidodendron (granting an automatically successful hit and Empowered6), then trots to G3, picks the Cinderfruit, and lobs it to H7.

By the lake, Sakrua decides to commit some knife crime! Armed with the fishing spear she made last post, she hurls it blindly into the hole in the lake. Though she almost certainly misses each and every fish, the spear shoots out several prongs as it zooms by. From each of these prongs erupts an electric shock, hopefully stunning several fish!

Peering through the ice, Sakura will then carefully fish out each and every stunned fish by sending out little wooden tendrils to grab them. As each fish comes into her possession, she gives them a little poke with a wooden knife in the vital bits, committing Knife Crime™ and slaying them.

As Sakura celebrates her catch (or laments her lack of them), she becomes acutely aware that more conflict has broken out somewhere. She rushes over to the source of the noise, trudging through the snow. There, she meets up with... Debbie! Who is totally guilty!

SAKURA: Debbie! What the hell did you do!?
SAKURA: W-Why are there so many... gorillaers?

SAKURA: And... are they fighting?
SAKURA: Are the Iti racist? That's... certainly new.
SAKURA: Works for us. Better the purples slaughter the greys before they get to us.
SAKURA: If we're lucky, maybe we won't even need to do any cleanup.

---

The Outlands:
- Spawn on (E5). Move to (G7).
- Designate Paige as your loyal simp.
- Cast Nature Power on (G10), creating a lot of Fortified tiles.

As Doc approaches the source of the roaring, he spots the Fell Beasts approaching.

Doc: Ah. I've done a bit of research on these miscreants.
Doc: Not the type to be negotiated with. And the type to eat wood.
Doc: They won't be good news if they attack our encampment.

Doc pulls out a small vial from his potion belt as he approaches.

Doc: It's a bit unorthodox for me to be protecting patients in this way...
Doc: But I suppose it comes with the state of my being.
Doc: For Lepidodendron and Lady Yedonesis, then.

ACTION

Doc spawns at L17 and moves to L16. He pops the top off of the vial, pouring a thick orange liquid onto one hand before securing the top and stowing the potion.

Doc: I remember this experiment fondly. I called it "Overzealous Soap."
Doc: I made it as a way to keep the miasma from spreading through contact.
Doc: It stopped being useful when I made the tincture, but I kept some handy.

Doc slathers the "soap" across his hands, then forcefully slaps the Fell Beast at L15. The soap clings to the spot of contact, spreading slowly across the Fell Beast's body.

Doc: On contact with cells, it seeps into the body, clearing out microbes on the surface level. The effort required to maintain this clearing prevents it from spreading to others.
Doc: Of course, that's only with my own body. Against one not plagued with miasma, it's a rather painful contact toxin.
Doc: And it spreads easily, due to the soap never truly hardening.

Doc looks down at his hands. The palm of the hand he slapped the Fell Beast with is now entirely absent of the "soap."

Doc: I'd better make sure this counts, and then thoroughly wash my hands when I'm done.

SUMMARY

Doc spawns at L17, moves to L16, casts Living Plague on the Fell Beast at L15, and spreads Plagued to himself.

OOC: i'm gonna respec offtopic because a bunch of people said he's not good
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Lyp...#gid=1621537444

My actions are:
I take my turn before Alicia and Doc.
Spawn at J17 in Wreckage
Move to K16
Use Battering Ram North

Kalis acts after Skylar and Paige, Lepidodendron, and Debbie. They spawn on E5 and cast Siege Spire on the Corpsetaker, grumbling about being 1 damage short of a solo OHKO as they do so.

Pardon arrives at the Wreckage, spawning at L19 and then shuffling over to M18 where he plays a haunting tune with his flute which echoes over to hit the Fell Beast 3. He then picks the nearby cinderfruit bush and throws the fruit as an Item Action at M14. He than returns to L19 if possible

Order: Eroa spawns -> Ilex -> Eroa
Ilex spawns in the Outlands at D4, moves to G5, and casts Guiding Hand to move Eroa to J10. He then applies Second Law to Lepidodendron.

Battle: Wreckage

-rp later-

R8 will spawn in at L19 and trudge to N20. Assuming there is no hidden Fell Beast on *exactly* that tile, R-8 will then use Battering Ram to the east, clearing out the regular forests and hitting anything in the Deep Forest. Regardless of whether or not he made it to N20 and Battering Ram'd, he will then bonus-action claim a Snowy Cinderfruit and toss it at N17, clearing out the snow there.

Maria will spawn in, claiming 2 of the 3 Splinters as her Battle Inventory. She will move to P17 (utilizing the freshly-cleared snow to do so), use Riposte on Fell Beast2, and activate Evolve Strain. If any Fell Beast was discovered by R-8, she will then use a Splinter on it.

---

Zone 1 - the Northern Wilds

Blacklight briefly smiles faintly, then wipes that expression away and turns to address R8. He knows enough to wonder if that'll somehow involve explosives or fireworks in some way... Best make sure.

"It's a simple design, but quite reliable, so I've been told. I haven't had much time to practice it, though I had the theory copied down for a while. As for decora-"

He's interrupted by some roaring from the southwest, turning and glaring in that direction.

"It seems there are other matters of concern now, damnit... Feel free to prop up some decorations, but do be mindful of the structural integrity. It's just snow, after all."

Then, slinging the Ink Charger off his back and holding it at the ready, he sprints off towards the battle.


Battle - The Wreckage

Blacklight arrives on the scene, quickly taking in the sight around him and understanding how bad this could go if not properly handled. He can definitely think of where to start...

"Let's just not have to deal with that one for a while."

Blacklight spawns at J18 and Pinning Shots the Fellbeast1.

Eroa spawns at E5. After she is moved to K10 by Ilex, she moves further to K11 and casts Abduction on the Patch and moves them to J10.

Battle: The Wreckage
74: Cherry Energy
56: Whirling Blades
62: Static Overcharge
9: Focus Energy

• Spawn L19.
• Move to J16.

QUOTE (Adria @ May 16 2023, 11:19 AM)

Northern Wilds Surprise Author visit! Debbie's a bit taken aback by the sudden question, but just as quickly relaxes, as if... recognizing him. She sheepishly fiddles with her hair as she answers the "quicksand" question. DEBBIE: O-oh, that... DEBBIE: Haha, yeah, t-that. DEBBIE: Funny thing about that... DEBBIE: I-I don't know how either. N-not while on the ship, anyway. She exhales. DEBBIE: Normally, I'd need solid ground to make it... DEBBIE: Solid ground, combined with my air magic flowing through it, typically results in... for lack of a better term, "controllably destroying" the ground into sand, where it acts like a fluid. DEBBIE: I-it's not quite "Quicksand", you can't really get stuck in it, but this "Fluidsand", as I call it, does make it hard to move through. DEBBIE: I... m-maybe this "Thymefield" let me do that on the ship for some reason? DEBBIE: I mean, I didn't see any damage the Fluidsand could have caused prior to... w-well, being shot down... DEBBIE: It's a bit weird. DEBBIE: Though I suppose it's nothing overly strange for you, Author. Auth's fame travels far, it seems. When told about the mollusks, she nods and scribbles some stuff down in her clipboard. DEBBIE: Hopefully we won't need to resort to hunting these Mollusks. H-hopefully.

Auth frowns and nods.

AUTH: I see. It looked like quicksand from where I was positioned. I suppose it's hard to tell the difference without being immersed in it.
AUTH: For what it's worth, the Thymefield, from my experience, is an equalizing force, rather than a pure hindering one. If an individual is particularly underpowered, I believe the Thymefield can empower them to a base level of power.
AUTH: That may have something to do with it. It just happens that for most of us, we're far enough above the target power level that we need to be restricted. I know Alicia's not enjoying having that power limiter. But if your ability to make quicksand isn't considered particularly strong, it could be improved somewhat.

Auth is a little surprised. He doesn't seem to think of himself as some sort of grand prominent person. But apparently so, if he can be recognized without introducing himself. Twice, now.

AUTH: Oh, where did you hear of me? I don't think I introduced myself. Everyone seems to know who I am and I'm not terribly sure why that is.

---

Alicia is sad as she fails to take a chunk out of this weird rock. She shakes her hands in mild pain as she wasn't entirely prepared for it to be repelled like that. She sadly starts heading back, because she doesn't have any ideas for solving this puzzle for the time being. Where she hears the sounds of a scuffle out near the wreckage.

Alicia whistles, loudly, and unnecessarily.

ALICIA: Brother~! We've got work to do!

Auth (or a Specter) glide over to Alicia, and they walk into the arena... where Alicia finds a cluster of giant beavers.

ALICIA: Beavers? Giant beavers? I didn't realize there was a portal to mutant Canada here.
AUTH: Fell Beasts. Dangerous pests introduced to the environment by outsiders.
ALICIA: Dangerous? I suppose given the people here are made of wood... that makes sense. We'll be doing the world a favour by obliterating them, then!
AUTH: Indeed. Let's get to work.

Alicia spawns on L17, shifting to K16, and uses Orderly Diversion to draw Fell Beast 3's attention to her, rather than to anyone else or any of those fruit bushes. Alicia starts contributing to the massive snow piles around spawn by casting Blizzard Aura on herself, which should help freeze the Fell Beasts... a little. And help provide Alicia with a little more of her own protection. Auth, meanwhile, drifts over slightly and starts providing bonus regen to Doc.

<ROUND 12>

Debbie sends the reanimated Yggcrawler to warn the others. The undead Yggcrawler hands a note to Chi (with unknown contents, but presumably informing her about the ongoing battle), before helping to set up the tents. Chi, Bass, and R-8, nodding at one another, immediately rush off to the various battlefields, leaving the Yggcrawler alone with its makeshift tent.

:yggcrawlersad:

---

Blacklight comments on the igloo construction to R-8. R-8 nods as Blacklight prepares to dip.

R-8733: Yeah, I should… also do that.
R-8733: I wonder if we’ll be on the same battlefield. See you there maybe!
R-8733: (Would fancy torches melt an igloo? Requires further testing.)

---

<THE WRECKAGE, ROUND 1>

Doc has gone down to a swift beaver onslaught, but the Fell Behemoth is now stunned! Take advantage of their weakness, but be wary that more Fell Beasts may be lurking. Or you're just crazy.

---

<OUTLANDS, ROUND 1>

The Iti are in shambles, and Bass has achieved the rare and dangerous x4 counter combo. Your new Seeker friend may be in danger from that surprise beaver, however...

Post for above dop.

The Outlands

Going first. Lepidodendron will spawn at (E5). After Eroa acts (See Turn Order), they will move to (H6) and shoot the Cinder.]

Bass should spawn near the Grey Seekers, allied to them. He should then move down, Flirt the Purple Iti down, and place a Illusionary Trap in their area.

(for last round)

Speed patch! Basil's weapon gets a little nudge. The damage increases to 8-10 and the buff duration increases to three rounds.

She heads into the Outlands fight, immediately seeing new Iti.

With the path mostly clear, she spawns at E5, moves to G7, and picks up a Cinderfruit. After brief hesitation, she yeets it to I7, clearing enough snow for the scientist to move to J8. This puts her in prime scan range of ??? 1, which she does as a full action.

Pardon moves to the right to M19 and Resurrects Doc back onto L16 with 30 HP, giving him the scent of Peach Blossoms for future tanking and giving Pardon himself Energised(6,4). He than plucks another Cinderfruit as a bonus and throws it at FBeast3 for some minor damage. He than retreats back to L19.

QUOTE (Adria @ May 25 2023, 07:46 AM)

Sakura asks what the peck Debbie just did. Debbie frowns, giving Sakura a cold glance. A bit surprised she bothered to remember her nickname of all things, but nevertheless. DEBBIE: Oh. It's you. Her face and tone say it all. The warm exterior Debbie put on for everyone else is completely absent when talking to the fallen royal.  A wave of silent judgement is directed at Sakura. Harsh judgement, too. DEBBIE: To answer your question, absolutely nothing. DEBBIE: I'm afraid that, while unsurprising, the violet ones wish for our demise. DEBBIE: Perhaps they followed the sounds of the crash to us. Or were on some sort of patrol. DEBBIE: Regardless, they are to be neutralized for the camp's safety. At least her head's still screwed on straight.

Sakura scoffs at Debbie's lukewarm reception.

SAKURA: Well. Excuuuuse me.
SAKURA: Who the hell gorilla in your coffee this morning?
SAKURA: Or maybe nobody did. Odds are, your attitude's always that gorilla.
SAKURA: I ask a simple question, and get such a rude response...
SAKURA: The nerve of some people. Hmph.

There's a growling sound not far from Sakura's leg. Oh yeah, there are Grey Seekers out and about. This particular guy looks like he's gonna gnaw on her leg. How bothersome. Not expecting a response in the slightest, she talks down to the little bugger.

SAKURA: ...Seriously, now. What's up with you guys? Don't you have anything better to do?
SAKURA: As much as I want to drop kick you, I'm not gonna because someone would get pissy.
SAKURA: Why don't you go and like, bother the purples. You hate those guys, don't you? Go. GET.

The Outlands:
- Appoint Eroa as a loyal simp.
- Sit down, and wait for Eroa to act.
- Move to (H11). Engage in a fierce staring contest with the Grey Iti.
- Cast Sapping Sigil (Armorbreak), targeting (M11).

Battle: Wreckage

Maria flings her left arm outwards at the charging Fell Beast, to mixed results-the Fell Beast manages to gnaw into the arm, directly piercing all the way through, but in turn the Fell Beast fails to consider the demerits of biting into it so deeply-and Maria counterattacks by simply shifting parts of her arm into spikes, ripping up the Fell Beast's mouth.

With her limited leverage on the Beast and neither really able to move away from each other, Maria simply uses her limited leverage to step out of the uneven snow and onto (O17), transforming her right arm. "Naughty little troublemaker! No mouth! No mouth!" She exclaims, activating an Evolve Strain to boost her damage before swinging at the Fell Beast for all she has. Rolling in the Deep will selfheal.

Meanwhile, R-8733 will move up to M18 and use his special, placing the Megabomb onto J14.
