Z1 CHANGES:

[N] Inferno Arachind. Has wrapped something up in a cocoon. [N] Green Sap Orbs: They enjoy regrowing.
[N] Strange Fungus: Growing on the Great Tree. They expell a noxious aroma. [N] Vines. Honestly somebody really needs to trim these.
Also a book secutary.

Z2:
[N] Rift Matter. A deadly purple liquid substance on the ground. [???] Boxhead Guy. He's a guy with a party hat, and a boxxy head. Glows with a purple energy. [N] Engineer's Blueprints. For whatever reason, it's probably a good crafting material. [N] Gateway. Connects to the other zones. [N] White Patches. They've materialized on the catwalk...
Z3:
[N] White Patches. There's not many here. Maybe more are nearby...?
A presumbly hollowed zone has become more visible.
[N?] The Core. Keeps the island afloat. Absolutely Freaking Awake.
[N] Temmie Device. A small little device is stuck in the Glowing Spire. It seems to be sucking up power, and putting it into some nearby canisters.
[N] Energy Canisters. Filled with...energy.

TODO: Ask ire to cut up the Map Archives. Seriously. It's laggy as heck if I accidentally follow you to it, and the last time I did, it actually gave a loading error from the size. I'm not saying to make one archive per map, but at least split it up into a few different ones for the fights. (One per zone or something?)

TODO: Try and reach Laer with alternate methods (Discord is entirely possible, which is a problem), since Pricey leaves us with a 7/8 player count

TODO: Suggest this be our first high-quality rip (now with kind of inside joke! [High Quality begins at about 0:36]):

Toast will move to F11, Shifting Sands The Abandoned (which will force it to go down a hole), attack the Speaker at F12 and Retreat to H14. I will also attack that Speaker, remaining Prone for now, and then use the Thyme Memory Orb in the loose direction of the Abandoned. I suggest all who can't do much this turn to just guard in case this goes wrong.

My two Glitch Endoskeletons will move to F7 and G7 and wail on the Door.

@The Operative: A reminder: Attack the F12 speaker and use an Antimatter Explosive on it.

@Transmission Hub: In general, leave all Rip selection duty to Battlefury.

@Battlefury: I'd prefer a Coconut Rip for this turn.

@Teag: Wear Hollowed Armor before you even look at that Secretary, it should help you a bit in diplomacy. My suggestion is using the Ghost Amulet from the inactive Topazian to phase through the trees with the Railgun defenses and up to the Secretary. Once there, attempt to trade it the Hollowed Orb for the book its got.

@Ire: Please change the dodge equation for the Abandoned. Assuming we just go with Pit's song, the total dodge chance for this turn is 45%. That's about as dodgy as Roxxanne. Even if the Granddad himself prefers shorter snips, its still enough dodge to make attacking directly mildly not worth it, and leaves us with no realistic choice but to chip away at it with Create/Siria/Abyss Drops.

Heeeeee's baaaack!

I got back a day early because rain, so yey ithink.

Toast moves to G12 and activates TRANSIST(). She uses Cull() on The Abandoned thrice, and moves up to F10 with Jaunt(). She then uses Get(), which should shift it over F11. If this is dodged, Toast repeats this. If not, Toast uses Purge() on the speaker closest.

(After a Cull() isn't dodged, subsequent Cull()s will be replaced with Spark().)

Alt!Toast (who has inversed color scheme/text color to Toast) finally whispers to Ette.
(hold on, i have an idea)

She gets out of earshot, and starts making a sweet crossbow. First of all, she uses the furnace and her convenient arm-mould to make a bunch of Iron Screws from 10 Iron Ingots. They're are just plain useful. She grabs about 3 of the 'younger' logs (read: bendier log), and fashions them into a curved crossbow limb using the Jadesaw. With the hollowed bark, she uses her Lattice FETCH MODUS (a rather finicky modus that links items that are captchalogued) to combine 6 of the pieces into a similarly shaped limb. After that, she smelts down 5 Titanium Ingots and shapes them into a centre frame for the crossbow. A deep groove lines the centre for the . She finishes the left side frame with 6 more carved Cinder Logs, and the right side with the remaining Hollowed Bark. Both of these sides are screwed into the main part with a couple of screws each. At the far end, Alt!Toast screws the hollowed limb and cinder limbs onto the corresponding part of the frame. On the other end, she smelts a small piece of Iron (2 ingots) that the string can come behind when pulling back, and links to the trigger.

She smelts another 7 Titanium Ingots to use for the handle and trigger, which she screws in to the Titanium part of the frame, and links to the iron piece above the frame.

Out of the blue, Alt!Toast buys the Tem-Brand Sewing Kit. If the kit contains strong enough string, she uses that, otherwise she uses the contents to spin some more of the Silkweed into a hardy twine. She then tears apart one of the seats for leather, and uses one piece to create a sleeve for ammo in the twine, and two more pieces to act as heat/cold-resistant handholds on the handle and halfway down the frame. She then ties the twine between the limbs, and BOOM, CROSSBOW.

She quickly burns a wooden plank to make some charcoal, and with Ette's approval, writes a message for Marron on a few other planks.

"If you can find it in your heart to join us someday, come find us; we'd be happy to have you. If you want to stay put, we'll understand. Either way, take this as a gift; it's name is Therma. Hopefully you'll be able to use it alongside us someday.

-Toast

P.S. Careful, it's hot (and cold)."

She leaves both near the door, again with Ette's permission.

Also I am dead/living in the Limbo/Personal Game Over Screen due to me not getting/buying the Wand. I invest 3 SP for 1 AGI.

Moral: Do not Detonate toss a Firebomb (and it's friends) and detonate too close to your range

Anyway I then go and walk around and punch Glitch Slimes, if I ever see one. Else I then disassemble a grenade and separate it into a explosive and a circuit.

Temstone moves to I17 and guards.

Redstone moves to J18, slaps the Thymium speaker at K19, head sentries the same speaker, and retreats to I18.

EDIT: Redstone takes offense to IRe's comment on him eating a Temmie.

What? It tastes like steak! Magical steak! And I love steak!
By the way, anyone wanna try feeding it Black from Homestuck next turn? >;3

So wait... Origin Skeletron Prime. If Souls of Sight are magic, and Souls of Might are Ranged, then... supposedly, if we kill OSP, we'll get Souls of Fright, which would be melee.
Perhaps I'll wait a bit on the upgrade, actually. Everyone, feel free to use the gold in however way you see fit until I get those Souls of Fright.
---
I guess it's time to go on a looting spree.
I head to Zone 1, move to the Cavern Mouth, take the Mining Laser (Not entirely sure which game this is from; probably the Terraria version), and proceed to mine out and loot all the ores I can.
I then head back to the Great Tree (Aah, memories. Remember when we roflstomped that place?), pick up more green sap (both the sap variant and the orb variant), then examine and, while plugging any openings with a pair of Mage Robes to use as a mask (I guess the magical properties quell the smell/poison) and pick them using a pair of mage robes as gloves.
I then head to the Web, and try to communicate "Hey, how've you been? And what's in the cocoon you got there?" to the inferno arachnid.
If it decides to be hostile, I run away, even though I KNOW that it'll recognize me, after saving it from near death.

If I begin to feel tired, I head back to the Creature Testing Chamber and hide in the cobblestone fort with Jon.

I then, if I'm not tired yet, rush to Zone 2 and grab the engineer's blueprints.
I then head to the Workship Entryway, and store the hulking jet boosters into the inventory.
I then head to the Grav Core Testing Room and loot some of the floating platforms for some reason.
I also head to the Hangar and loot some more rocks, and break some up with the mining laser.

Because there's nothing really impressive in Zone 3 at the moment (besides the King Glitch Slime, will probably fight it later), I head back to the Creature Testing Chamber and hide in Jon's Cobblestone Fort.

Some people want to help us fight this thing?

EDIT: Let's just say that I suggest Battlefury, lord of dogs, to use that dog pickaxe of his to do those things when he's done instead of me with the mining laser. K? K.
(I'm toooootally not blind as a bat. Definitely not. (either that or I'm just a derp sometimes, and that was one of those times. (Bracketception)))

The Operative moves to G11, ignores the fact that he's standing in lava, strikes the F12 speaker, then uses his retreat value to head to I12, before pulling out an Antimatter Grenade.

"Come on, metaphorical D6, anything but a 1...

Cue throwing of Antimatter Grenade at the speaker. If doing so somehow gives him his retreat value again, he uses that to retreat to K14, out of range of Ayaze's annoying basic attack.

<TURN ONE-HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN>
Teag cuts down a total of 34 vines from that area near the Former Shack, and then delivers a longbow to Marron via barging into her house uninvited.

tc: What the goril-
tc: Get out of my house!

You proceed to actually give her the longbow.

tc: Oh boy.
tc: A low-quality gorilla-y, mass-produced basic item.
tc: Wow. Thanks.

She takes the bow, then brings it down upon your head, dealing (6) damage to you. The oak that makes up the bow cracks and splinters a bit, but is still in one piece. She then proceeds to kick you out of her house, throwing the bow out with you. After getting "harshly rejected", you opt to warp to Zone 1, and equip both the Hollowed Armor and the ghoast amulet. You then sneak through the treeline, ignoring the railguns. You then arrive at the Secretary, and offter a Hollowed Orb for it's book.

...it doesn't seem to want the orb. Insert then combines some ropes and some Iron Bars, creating a GRAPPLING HOOK. The Spire Watchtower is too far up to reach with just a thrown grappling hook, sadly. You'll need to get creative. You then move to the Illuminati Gold, and begin to cut a circle around the circle of glyphs. You... succeed? You now have a circle around the circle of glyphs.

I, as the GM, then take a knife, and slice the Map Archives. It takes (999,999,999,999,999) damage, and splits into two documents.

Lyra then uploads the... "high quality rip" into the Abandoned. It seems that despite not really being a "high quality rip" by definition, it'll do. Roxxanne then uses the Thyme Memory Orb on The Abandoned-/-/-/-----////-/--

-//---///---//...you heard a voice? For whatever reason though, the Abandoned seems to be stunned for this turn, taken aghast as it floats, suspended in the air. Alt!Toast then buys the Temmie Sewing Kit, and proceeds to craft a crossbow called Therma, via usage of 12 Iron, 7 Titanium, 9 Cinder Logs, 6 Hollowed Bark, 3 Silkweed, and a Seat (the rest of which is salvaged for 7 Iron and 5 Titanium). You then expend 1 Wooden Plank to write a message for Marron. (which Ette proofreads for you, and then places near the house with Therma)

Ette then knocks on the door, and proceeds to drag you to the side of the house, away from the door. Marron barges out of the house, scythe in hand.

tc: I DON'T WANT YOUR GORILLA-Y GORILLAING BOW-
tc: Oh, what's this?

You take a moment to glance around the corner of the house. Marron is holding the crossbow.

tc: "Dear Marron...
tc: "If you can find it in your heart to join us someday, come and find us; we'd be happy to have you. If you want to stay put, we'll understand. Either way, take this; it's name is Therma. Hopefully you'll be able to use it alongside us someday."
tc: "P.S; Careful, it's both hot and cold!"
[small][small]tc: Why the hell did I read that out loud?[/small][/small]

She starts yelling out into the area around her.

tc: What? Who left this here? Is this some cruel prank?
tc: If you really want me to come with you, come here and say it, damn it!
[small]tc: Not sure why you'd even want me, anyway...[/small]

She heads back inside. If you wish to read the stats on Therma, just head to the Zone 4 page. Pricey then ups his AGI by 1, and learns a very important lesson; always check where you're standing so that you don't firebomb yourself. Sunny then goes out and easily slaughters the Glitch Slimes. All of them. Even the king one. This results in about 372 Glitch Gel. You also find a Slime Gun, which you promptly sell for 1 Gold. Meanwhile, Jon builds a fort out of cobblestone and hides in it. Naturally, being a big chunk of cobblestone in a room once vacant of cobblestone, Origin Skeletron Prime notices your fort. Arrows begin to rain down upon the fort. The fort probably won't last long...

Numbersoup then dumps some pure energy into the inventory. This has predictable results. The Compressed Dog Blocks soak up the destructive wave, taking 19,919 casualties in the process. The canisters are now empty. This just so happens to line up with a bunch of Temmies landing on Splinter Drift. They're wearing hazmat suits of sorts...

Darkside then moves to Zone 1, heads to the Cavern Mouth, and fails to find a Mining Laser of any sort. He then goes to the Great Tree, and bottles 4 jars of sap, and also takes 3 raw orbs. Next comes the careful extraction of the deadly mushrooms, obtaining 17 of them. Darkside then attempts to talk to the Inferno Arachnid, and gets no meaningful response; it is a spider. It does acknowledge you, though. The cocoon shakes violently, and the Inferno Arachnid shoos you away from it. You then get tired, and head back to Jon's cobblestone fort, which is under heavy fire. ohgodwhy

<BATTLE: TRANSMISSIONS HUB, TURN THREE>
The Abandoned was stunned for a turn thanks to the Memory Orb you used! It's active again, and you probably can't use Pit's rip again. Take caution; Ayaze is redesigning next turn.

FIRST
first strike x3

Teag first investigates the book in question, after returning the orb to the inventory. It should be pretty obvious what the tome looks like, as Teag has very much read tones in the past. If it is the Tome, Teag then talks to the Secretary.
Hm.
How about this?
Bill Cipher, whom you may have head about, wants that tome back.
Like, REALLY badly.
So, how about this.
If we and some Temmies send Bill to your Hollow place through method of death (which you could potentially help us with?), could we pleeeeease have that book?
And maybe he'll sell you cool stuff in the Hollow!
Thanks.
Regardless of anything else that happens this turn, Teag loots the railgun sensors. After that, he loots the Railguns (by method of climbing the tree they are on, pulling them really hard until all the wires snap and it breaks off, then adding them to the inventory.) As well as looting the wires themselves. Yay.

Teag also replies to the Abandoned with a...uh, "message".
687474703a2f2f747275657863756c6c696e732e636f6d2f77702f77702d636f6e74656e742f75706c6f6164732f626c6f676765722f5f5132464346654c306d506f2f54412d5f755a4a345057492f414141414141414141514d2f476e65495f7531376f2d732f733634302f63686169725f65616d65735f6c6f756e67655f3537352e6a7067
