I rush over to the creek, having killed the spider. I rush to the river and store some water in the Drained Water Chopper.

I then rush to the fire, and unleash the water I stored up all at once directly at the fire. I then rush back to the river to store a bit more water...

Fire's nice... but if it threatens massive ecosystems, I hate it. Even in a glitch-ridden mindscape.

No crazy late-night update today. I've been procrastinating long enough already.

I soak the duct tape with water, as well as the cavern plug.

I look at numbersoup redirecting the river into the fire, then pull Diluvium out of nowhere! (Man I love being able to summon weapons randomly when not in combat) a sudden enormous torrent of water comes along with it flooding the fire (yet mysteriously nothing else).

Somewhere else... a massive stream of water spills out of the map of zone 1 tab and into the tab of the endless desert, washing away large portions of the adhesive on the sticky side of the duct tape.

=TURN TWENTY-ONE=
Engie jabs his hand into the Matriarch's Corpse. He rummages around, and rips out a blood-stained Spider Token! It has been added to the Accessories section. He then attempts to shoot the Crimson Scale, but the shot is reflected by a sort of shield; you'll need to get up close to bypass it! The shot flies into the woods and presumably kills some random woodland creature. Numbersoup then redirects the water from the river into the fire via unspecified methods, dealing (7) damage to it! Pit then runs south, douses his arrows in water and shoots them at the fire. This doesn't have the intended effect; you're not really covering a wide area, so you deal (3) damage to the fire.

Tazz then summons some Water Elementals (the frost ones melted, don't ask why) and they run into the fire, dousing parts of it! Suddenly, Smokey the Bear appears and stamps out some of the fire himself! He then gives the Water Elementals hugs for some reason. (12) damage to the Fire! Elsewhere, Tazz tells the Duct Tape that he's going to purge it of brain tumors, and puts him to sleep. He then spams surgical knife strikes at the center, dealing (147) damage to the Duct Tape! Redstone then leaps onto of the Stone Pillar, putting him in range of the Scale!

Wilson flings the wooden box into the stream, saving it from flaming annihilation. However, whatever's inside will be somewhat soaked, and potentially gross. Willow then walks up to the flames and starts beating her wings, dealing (8) damage to them! Darkside then loads up the Drained Water Chopper, and fires a massive burst of water at the flames for (9) damage! Insert then soaks both the Duct Tape and Cavern Plug with water. While the water simply runs off of the Cavern Plug, it deals (34) damage to the Duct Tape and will make the next hit mini-crit! Piono then whips out Diluvium, and finishes off the flames! However, the Crimson Scale is still present on the top of the Pillar, and should be dealt with. More water then flows down at the Duct Tape, dealing (56) damage and instead of activating the mini-crit, will cause the next attack to crit!

The Crimson Scale charges with a pulse of energy; this one actually seems stronger than the previous one, as the shield may have proved. It'll obliterate Redstone with a laser next turn if he doesn't get off the pillar!

I look up at the bright red light, and begin scaling the pillar which it rests upon. I wouldn't want to be caught up in whatever it throws at us.

Oh, and by scaling, I literally mean using the scales from my body to climb it. Because that's possible.

...Honestly. I jammed the scales into the rock.

Ah, screw it, it's DtG, what were you expecting?

I unleash a torrent of water out of the DWC straight at the Duct Tape, and proceed to attempt to pry it off with my wings, claws, teeth, tail, axe, a sword I yanked out of nowhere, a spear I yanked out of nowhere, and finally, I decide to strike with so much force that the tape falls clean off with all the force. I decide to haul out a giant Shadowsteel Construction Hammer (again, out of nowhere) and whack the Duct Tape so hard that it pretty much has no choice but to loosen/fall off. And then the Shadowsteel Construction Hammer's handle broke off. Again. FUUUUUU-

After all that's said and done, I go and explore the Great Tree's inside.

I try to pull the duct tape off. I try really, really hard.

I aid Generic's aid in peeling off the duct tape. With several forklifts, nanometer-thin surgery knives, five gallons of anti-adhesives, sedatives for the Duct Tape so it doesn't kill us all, and two potions of Strength II Each to make sure we have that EXTRA MUSCLE!!!

As for the current area, I decide, why climb the Stone Pillar when we can drag it down towards us? I throw several grappling hooks onto the thing, and splash ground-destroying acids around the stone pillar, causing the pressure of the grappling hooks to make the whole thing sink. Just in case, I reserve one grappling hook to actually grab onto the stone pillar in case the Crimson Scale somehow screwed with that.

((Ire, you may want to know, but DTG: Terraria is back up! Cryptic is GMing. That means more fun with Anarchist's Creation and such.)).

I head back to the Great Tree, since we aren't finished there and have more than enough people to deal with things at the creek.
Anyone else wanna help me explore the inside of the great tree?

I also assist The_Nonexistant_Tazz and insert in their pulling off of the duct tape (yay for triple attack combob!) with the liberal application of crowbars, forklifts made of forklifts, cheese, wedges, and cheese wedges made of forklifts.

...DTG: Terraria's back up? Nice. I'll go check that out later.

I fish the wooden crate out of the river, and just open it. I mean, crates are made to be opened, they're not safes or chests or anything...

Originally posted on 2015-10-13 20:48:00

Um... guys, would you mind editing in attacks to help out our mega-attack that will crit via the power of water majjyks and is going to include everyone?
I just noticed something ominous...
The duct tape is angry, and I don't like what that means for our easter egg hunting.

Cue someone crashing a mini-Mainframe into the duct tape.

I get off the pillar.
EDIT: Oh, right. Btw, just call me redstone, please. Tam is not my real name.

Willow walks off to go find Wilson to ask him something.

A few minutes later, Willow appeared on top of a nearby tree and, assuming that the stone pillar is still up, she swoops down and flies at the scale, either knocking it down or grabbing on near it.

=TURN TWENTY-TWO=

Darkside jams scales into the pillar, creating a ladder of sorts. +20% Scaling! Of course, he does this before Tazz melts the bottom of the pillar, and pushes it into the ground for another +20% Scaling! Darkside then fires a water blast at the Duct Tape, dealing (27) damage and not activiating the Crit! Then, Darkside, Insert, Tazz, Piono, and Engie all rush the Duct Tape, and go to rip it off!

(391) damage!
...x2 because of the Crit!
(782) damage!

The Duct Tape is torn right off the page, revealing the Sapsplash tomb and the Tape Dispenser weapon! Due to ripping off the only thing holding the two pages together however, the entire bottom half of the screen has fallen into oblivion. Not including the Tem Shop, because that'd be cruel. The spell was added to the Character Creation page, and the item to the Inventory page.

Darkside then investigates the Tree's Hollow. Three players can fit inside, and it appears that the entryway will close once the required amount of players enter. You then exit the hollow as to prevent anything weird from happening. Piono then heads to the Tree's Hollow, ready to explore! Fseftr then fishes the crate from the water and simply opens it. It appears that the crate's moderate resistance was weakened by the water. Iron Umbrella obtained! Don't ask how it fit in the rather small crate.

Redstone then leaps off the pillar, totally missing an opportunity to attack the Scale. Darn. At least he's safe from the laser, which the Crimson Scale promptly stops charging. Willow then flies towards the Stone Pillar, and clings onto the scale for (5-3) damage! You can get exactly ONE more attack off before the Scale re-charges and fires a beam at you; make it count!

Okay, not much is really going on right now. I'd reccomend getting a team to investigate the other areas, as well as deal with the Crimson Scale and Tree's Hollow.

I purchase Chaos Log 2 from the Temmie shop. YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM ME EASTER EGGS.

In any case, I proceed to throw Enchant Weapon onto Willow in order to eke out the extra damage on the Chaos Scale, because it's gonna blow this turn and I won't like it! I proceed back to the Great Tree to start adventuring inside it!

Hey, wasn't I supposed to be in the tree too? Or did you just forget?
/null

Originally posted on 2015-10-15 10:52:00

Well, you just kinda examined the tree. Just in case you didn't actually want to enter. You can still enter if you want.

...given that Tazz has entered the tree too, if you enter, you'll be locked in! (Piono, Tazz, You)

ACCEPT? (y / n)
