With her work now finished, Lyra walks back to the area Near the Summit and, having no other things to occupy herself, draws a smiley face on the snow boulder. Nobody knows what purpose that served.

Teag investigates the Massive Gates in both zones with them, and requests a description for the purple flake of something.

A Crater Missile is falling at (M10).
The second missile in Message 4 is actually a Crater.

Hm. If I...

I choose instead to take out all 5 Master Rounds, the Bullet That Can Kill the Past, and the Origin Gunpowder, then infuse the Dictionary with immense gun magic, transforming it into the Ammonomicon.

"Well then."

Repressing some extremely intense feelings of irritation at one of his allies deciding to use an entire special and a very hard to get item on the door, The Operative charges through, moves up to D2, and utterly lays an unholy smackdown on the Automatic Sentry. It's kind of surprising he hasn't turned into a saltborg yet.

=TURN ONE-HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SEVEN=
Redstone gives Ette 25 Silkweed. However, this seems to somewhat upset Ette; it's like you think you rightfully own the Medical Herbs or something. Redstone then attempts to craft a set of shelves out of 4 Wooden Planks and 1 Iron Ingot. Given the incredibly low amount of wood you have to work with, your shelves don't end up looking very good at all! You then fail to demonstrate [big]MAD MAGIC SKILLS[/big], as having [big]MAD MAGIC SKILLS[/big] takes a bit more than simply saying you use [big]MAD MAGIC SKILLS[/big]. Your reputation with the Puppet Faction drops by 5. Oriko then arrives at the Dollhouse just in time to coordinate a facepalm with Ette, causing a FACEPALM x2 COMBO.

Ette then looks Redstone dead in the eyes, then points to the house, and back to herself. She repeats this a few times, while Oriko almost chokes on some Topkek that she found somewhere. You opt to put the rest of the bag in the Inventory. Roxxanne then moves Super Greed to the Dollhouse, to talk with Ette. This somehow works.

Ette then, in order, does the following things. She covers her mouth with her hands and shakes her head from side to side, then genuinely seems shocked. Ette then turns to run off, but opts to stay; Redstone is still harbouring items. The puppets around Redstone seem to be growing restless; they must be fed up with him. Their claws are at the ready now... Lyra then heads to that area Near the Summit and moves to draw a smiley face on the snow boulder. It now has a happy face on it. Suddenly, the dolls near the boulder animate, and ensnare your legs! They then pull you down to the ground, and begin dragging you. Looks like you'll have one action to avoid probably-death. Teag then examines the Massive Gates. They're made up of a similar energy to that of the one within the Final Gate, with two massive metallic archways making up the "frame" of the energy-projector thing that all these fancy energy gates need. You could totally loot the metals from the gates, if you really wanted to.

Insert then tries to build the Ammonomicon, but he hasn't even aced a boss yet! You'll probably need to make some bullet analogues or something to make an Ammonomicon. Numbersoup then lobs down all the trees in The Ascent. The puppets in the zone simply glare at you as you gather 60 Cinder Logs. Insert also modifies his stats a little.

Jon then signs up for PM-Hell.

=BATTLE: TURN THREE, FINAL GATE=
The Generator that powers the One-Way Barrier and the Massive Gates is now visible! Hit it very hard. Once you hit the Generator though, those mysterious X-Sabers in the room will be able to act... next turn. So you get a bit of a breather.

Do note that you'll need to run to the Spawn to escape the battle after this, and everyone automatically escapes once 50% of the team is out.

Shots fired! 6 PM's sent out!

"OK, personally I wouldn't care if he died if he wasn't occasionally mildly useful to us, so...Eh, lucky you that we have group Inventory abilities."

I proceed to use Super Greed as a medium to give up all the Medical Herbs and the Cinder Fruit, as well as anything and EVERYTHING else that he took. This includes all of his clothes that aren't explicitly his gear. THEN, I somehow use the medium of Super Greed to give Ette a magical restraining order (if I can).

"OK, simple enough to use, just sign and stick it onto Redstone; then he will explode into giblets, harmlessly, upon trespassing in this zone ever. Ever. Just attach this to him and he'll learn his lesson."

If I can't give him the Magical Restraining Order, Super Greed proceeds to grab Redstone and suplex him out of the area, then stand by and bodyguard the Dollhouse from his continued intrusion.

Meanwhile, I rush to to P6 and use my Triple Action to fire ALL THE BULLETS into the Generator, attacking all six times I can. I then retreat to Q8. If I must, I do this after Brobot moves away from that tile.

@Generic: Blink over and Mindcrush that Generator.

@Siria: Fire on the generator.

The above actions should cause the Generator to go explode, so with that in mind...

@Everyone Else: flee the area! We have done our jobs!

4->5: The third missile in Message 3 is actually a Crater Missile; The third missile in Message 2 doesn’t exist; message 1 is a lie. (Sent to Engie)
5->6: The 2nd Missile in Message 2 is a Row Missile; Column Missile at (N14).
6->1: A Column Missile is falling at (L9). A Column Missile is falling at (O13). A Crater Missile is falling at (F10). LIE (Sent to Cyan)

I yoink the STR Orb looted from the Crates and equip it to Siria.

She then moves up to Q8 and fires on the Generator for 15 damage.

Teag totally loots the metal from those gates, because he really wants to.

Uhh ire
I SAID THAT REDSTONE WOULD GIVE ETTE THE MEDICAL HERBS IF SHE DIDN'T WANT THEM!

Originally posted on 2016-09-11 05:24:00

Actually, Redstone; you made your message a conditional.

/totallycode
if ettewantweed = true
{silkweed = 0}
else
{medherb = 0}
/endtotallycode

You specifically said that if she doesn't want the Silkweed, you'd give her the Medical Herbs. Science! Or, uh, Coding!

I head north and harvest the trees there.

(This has to be illegal and or a hentai.)

Lyra's face makes it clear that she is not handling the situation entirely okay. And now for the part where she gets an idea. Run.

WAIT! I HAVE A CUNNING IDEA!

Lyra switches Derivation with Greater Blink because she's not totally an idiot [color=#CC99FF]YOU WHAT m8? (thanks tazz) and jumps directly to the ascent.
There's a 1/3 chance that nobody will be happy with this still.

Welp. If we make a yearbook for this adventure, at least I'll end up in the "Funniest Moments" page.

If Redstone is sucessfully removed from the Dollhouse, he lands at The Base.

First things first. He makes 4 Sticks out of 2 Wood Planks, and then makes a Pickaxe Head out of 2 Iron Ingots. He then uses 0.5 of a Dog Ingot to make the Tool Binding. The leftover Dog Ingot is now a Dog Ingot Shard (Not to be confused with the Dog Shard, which completely obliterated everyone in Redstone's Sgear session in a doomed timeline). He sticks the Pickaxe Head on one of the sticks, and then hammers in the Dog Tool Binding. This makes an Iron Pickaxe with a .5% chance of getting 1 Dog Residue from mining. He takes 4 Snowballs, and then turns them into a Snow Block. He then melts the snow block and makes 1 Bucket and stores the water in there. Redstone then mines out the shape for a cobblestone generator. He puts the water in the area where it dips and doesn't flood the whole hole, and then puts the lava on the other side. He digs a 1 block hole right next to where the cobblestone forms. Redstone promptly mines 100 Cobblestone. After that, he switches out Descendant for TemsTwo. He also places down the Loot Chest and puts the 6 Medical Herbs in there in an attempt to appease Ette and the dolls.

(This has to be illegal and or a hentai.) Lyra's face makes it clear that she is not handling the situation entirely okay.  And now for the part where she gets an idea.  Run. WAIT!  I HAVE A CUNNING IDEA! Ire is suddenly reminded that Doll Up existed when Lyra switches Derivation for that spell and has to promptly drudge up the rules for it's damage, range, and bonuses. Alright, now I just need something to killed and then they'll be friends with me!  Slightly!  I know how moral systems work, so this is how it works too! Lyra promptly initiates strife with one of the trees.  It already looks like it's about to fall over.  Before Ire can realize what just happened and promptly shut down this incredibly stupid duel... Lyra uses Doll Up on the tree.  It dies.  And now it's a doll. There's a 1/3 chance that nobody will be happy with this.

"But Lyra! We haven't purchased Doll Up yet!...And no, we are not purchasing that spell right now unless you're REALLY going to use it!"
