In this adventure you'll take the role of Leoonardo Koocaprio, one of Bowser's most trusted commanders and be thrust into thy wild world of the Mario games, where you'll go on incredible adventures from the welcoming gates of Toad Town to the dreary Wiggler Woods to the magma-streaked mountains of World 8.When we left off, Tanoomba and his new friends Spectro the fast-talking Boo and Rob the non-talking Bob-Omb were breaking out of jail in the library truck.>"Yes! Yes, yes, yes! We've done it! Congratulations Tanoomba, you've beat the system!">"Uh... yay?" you comment as you shift back. "So now what?">"Now, we wait!" chirps Spectro. "Nothing could possibly--">He's cut short by some muttered speech.>"Yeah, I think there's a cooler in the back. ?Could you get me a water? Okay, thanks Hal.">Your celebration ends when a Toad walks in through a little metal door to the cab.You're in trouble! What do you do?>Hide in the shelves>Enter combat>Try to reason with/bribe him>Other
Rolled 10>>29467511Transform into the book again!
>>29467511>Hide in the shelves
Rolled 6>>29467552And hide in the shelves
Rolled 8, 7 = 15>>29467552>>29467559"Hide!" you whisper as you poof into a book again. The pop of your disguise startles the Toad, and he turns his flashlight toward your shelf. He comes over, shining the light all around.>Roll 1d20+3 for Hide-itude!>Rolling for Spectro and Rob.
Rolled 4>>29467652Roll!
Rolled 9>>29467682Oh, someone else roll! Hurry!
Rolled 15 + 3>>29467652No one can see me!
Rolled 7 + 3>>29467682Oh, I forgot the mod so this doesn't count, great!
Rolled 2 + 3>>29467878Right, I mean, I don't know the rules of the the boo in and out, so he might count that first roll.
>>29467929No, forgot to remove die, stop rolling, me!
>>29467748And good roll!
(Here's how I'll do this in the future. First person to roll decides. If it's abysmal, you get one reroll!)>>29467682>>29467714(Bad luck, guys. But to be fair, you've succeeded at every single other roll in this quest so far...)The Toad grabs you by the spine. He touches your tail, and he knows something's up. As he inspects you, you can hear a sizzling from Rob's book. The Toad puts you under his arm, and kicks open the book."Aha! I knew it!" he calls, pulling a pair of handcuffs out of his pocket and chaining one to Rob's head. "You two, come with me! Are you going to go calmly, or am I gonna have to use force?">"Alright... I'll go quietly.">"Hold on, can't we talk about this? I can give you all the Coins you've ever dreamed of!">"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!"
Rolled 9>>29468112Morph into a piranha plant and eat him!
>>29468112>"Hold on, can't we talk about this? I can give you all the Coins you've ever dreamed of!"
>>29468112"...Using force? Now this I've gotta see!"ENTER COMBAT
Rolled 4>>29468254By turning into a piranha plant and eating him!
>>29468161>>29468282We're not actually a pirahna plant. That'd just be gross.
Rolled 15>>29468315Well, it's not like we have to kill him, we can just restrain him.
>>29468254"You'll never take me alive!" you shout. He furrows his brow and brandishes his flashlight."O-okay! You pushed me to this! Sorry if I hurt you!"The Toad swings the flashlight, narrowly missing your head as you crane your neck back.>Fight back! Describe your combat move and roll 1d20!>"Rob! Help me out here!">"Spectro! A little help here?">"Whoa, whoa! Can't we talk about this?"
Rolled 13>>29468378Turn into a piranha plant and eat him, but without chewing.
Rolled 6>>29468378>Fight back! Describe your combat move and roll 1d20!Give him our best tail swipe to the face!
Rolled 13>>29468378Just jump into the air, and crash our head into his head.The traditional fighting technique of the Goomba.
Rolled 1>>29468161>>29468378 Morph into a Birdo and roll to seduce
Rolled 18>>29468429Ok, nevermind, this.
Rolled 7>>29468378Wait, what neck? Aren't we a book still?
Rolled 1>>29468418Oh, he thinks he's so great with his little flashlight? You decide to show him who's boss!There's a pop and a puff of smoke as you shift into the form of the carnivorous Piranha Plant, and he has little time to react before you snap your jaw closed around him. You hold him in your leafy mouth, and you feel the metallic bump of his flashlight, and--blech! He must've stepped in something!You spit him out and he crashes into a bookshelf. You poof back into your normal form, doing your best to cleanse the smell from your mouth.>Toad takes 2 damage! Current HP: 13!>Keep attacking! Describe your move, roll 1d20!>"Spectro! Can you help me out?">"Rob! I need a han--I mean, help me out here!"
Rolled 9>>29468617>Keep attacking! Describe your move, roll 1d20!Tail swipe to the nose!
Rolled 6>>29468617Quick, turn into a pissed off Sun!
Rolled 6>>29468617Fucking ground stomp his ass! We mario now!
Rolled 7>>29468617>Keep attacking! Describe your move, roll 1d20!Turn into a shoe and kick him while he's down.
>>29468739I'm not sure you can turn into an inanimate object, apart from the statue.
>>29468617Was that 1 his roll?
Rolled 14>>29468650While he's down, you pirouette and swipe him with your tail. The shot sends him flying to the back door or the truck, and knocks it loose. He can barely keep himself inside as books fly out.>Toad takes 3 damage! Remaining HP: 10!"Hal?" comes a voice from the cab. "Do you need me to stop the truck? You know I can't come back there!"There's a disembodied gasp, and you hear Spectro whisper right in your ear."Tanny, if we don't want the driver coming back here, we might have to stop the commotion or move it somewhere he can't hear!">Get him while he's down! Roll 1d20 and describe your move!>"Rob, a little help please?">"Spectro, I'd appreciate if you'd help me out here!">Other
>>29469005>Get him while he's down! Roll 1d20 and describe your move!Smack him in the hand so he loses his grip and goes flying out the back.
>>29469005>"Rob, a little help please?"Rob can pin him down by sitting on him and we muzzle him by stuffing our tail in his mouth.
>>29469005>"Spectro, I'd appreciate if you'd help me out here! Take over and keep the Guard quiet!">> Transform into the Toad, Hal: Tell the Driver everything is fine. A bookshelf collapsed and you need to check the security of the others.
Rolled 8>>29469082
Rolled 17Turn into Chomp Chomp and eat everything
>>29469082Yeah that works.
Rolled 13>>29469082You stomp his hand, and with a yipe of pain, the Toad tumbles out the back door.>Toad takes 5 damage!>Toad takes 3 damage!>Toad takes 1 damage!>Toad takes 1 damage! Remaining HP: 0! Toad is passed out in a groaning heap on the dirt road!As he disappears into the horizon, you face the cab.>>29469120"Everything's fine! I just knocked over a bookshelf. I kind of hurt my foot, so I think I'll stay back here for a while." you shout, mimicking his voice perfectly."If you say so... hope you're not hurt too bad." the Toad responds, and continues driving in silence."Good job," whispers Spectro. "We should be safe for the rest of the ride, unless you'd rather jump ship.">"I'm sure it's alright. Let's wait until the truck stops.">"I'm worried that Toad might tell someone and we'll have a little welcoming party waiting for us. Let's get off here.">Other

>>29469460>>Other>Lets wait say 10 minutes and jump out. I can float, you can fly and Bob-ombs explode all the time so Rob will be fine about hitting the road at 80mph.
>>29469460It's fiiiiine.I'm not concerned about their competence levels.
Rolled 2>>29469566>>29469637>>29469640Looks like we're split on what to do. First to three votes gets it!
Rolled 19>>29469637This!

Rolled 10>>29469566This.
Rolled 15Tfw nighttime in Euroland but this quest is too good to pass up.
>>29469566>>29469773>>29469805"I've got a plan. Spectro, you spook the driver out of the car, and while he's running off, we drive away to safety.""Sounds like a plan!" grins Spectro. Rob fizzles happily in agreement.After a wait of precisely seven seconds (which Spectro assures you is the spookiest number) he fades through the wall and you hear an oily, blood-curdling shriek. The Toad wails, and the truck lurches forward.You peek out the back, and see the green-capped Toad running for his life over the hills. Spectro gives you an evil grin, and Rob leaps out the back.In a moment, you're in the cab."Wanna drive?" says Spectro.>"No, you can drive." (Spectro for Drive-itude)>"Of course!" (Roll for Drive-itude)
>>29469933>manly_tears.png
Rolled 10>>29470118>"Of course!" (Roll for Drive-itude)I just need to know where we're going. I gotta find a couple friends of mine on the outside.
Rolled 3>>29470118Of course!
Rolled 11>>29470118How the fuck does a Goomba drive? Rolling to transform into Toad and drive
>>29470225Goombas are assumed to be able to operate things as if they had hands. Remember Goombella and her guide book? Or Goombario's granddad and his hammer?
Rolled 2>>29470118"Yeah, I think I'll drive, considering that you are ethereal."
Rolled 18>>29470257No. I never played paper mario or wahtever
>>29470292Well, just assume they have invisible hands or something. The less you think about it, the better.
Rolled 20>>29470225This. Or better yet, transform into the Toad that was driving the truck. We're going undercover.
>>29470218"Of course!" you say, hopping into the driver's seat. "I just need to find some friends of mine on the inside."You grip the wheel in your mouth and furrow your brow.Let's see... you have friends who've been known to help you out in times like this.>Maybe my old friend Snifit could help. He's running that game show in Wiggler Wood now, so he might have some resources.>In Dry Dry Desert, my Shy Guy buddy owns a saloon. He'd offer a place to hide out.>Of course I could always show up to Bowser's Castle, but I'm not sure how he'd feel about me showing my face after what Sal and Leo did.>My Dry Bones friend got fired from Bowser's Corps after he almost blew up the workshop... and the rest of the castle. He's hiding out in Yoshi's Island in his new lab now, though that shouldn't be too far.>I guess I'll just drive where the road takes me.
>>29470420"You got any place or friends you can go to? What about Rob?"
>>29470420>In Dry Dry Desert, my Shy Guy buddy owns a saloon. He'd offer a place to hide out.Then we get to deal with Snifit banditos.
Rolled 3>>29470420Motherfucking Dry Bones
>>29470420Yoshi's Island sounds nice. We're long overdue for a vacation anyway.
>>29470420>>Maybe my old friend Snifit could help. He's running that game show in Wiggler Wood now, so he might have some resources.Good ol' Pew Pew, he'll take us in!
>>29470477"You got any place or friends we can go to?" you look at Spectro."Not really, no. I'm afraid that I've been living on the land. I'm really the type to quietly live in someone else's house and give 'em nightmares. Rob, however, does have some friends we can go to. They live straight underneath Toad Town, if he's not lying. A bunch of Bob-Ombs, just living down there with nary a care.">Maybe my old friend Snifit could help. He's running that game show in Wiggler Wood now, so he might have some resources.>In Dry Dry Desert, my Shy Guy buddy owns a saloon. He'd offer a place to hide out.>Of course I could always show up to Bowser's Castle, but I'm not sure how he'd feel about me showing my face after what Sal and Leo did.>My Dry Bones friend got fired from Bowser's Corps after he almost blew up the workshop... and the rest of the castle.

>>29470483>>29470535>>29470541>>29470577Two for Dry Bones, one for Snifit, one for Shy Guy, and one for Rob's Weird Friends.First to three gets us on the road again.
>>29470626>Rob's weird friends sound alright.The last place they'd look for us.
>>29470659Yoshi's Island. Maybe we can find Yoshis and enlist their help in something
>>29470659Still gunning for the Snifit. I made a pun :3
>>29470659Rob's bunch!
>>29470659Dry bones.
>>29470690>>29470541>>29470535"Never mind, I have a guy. He's a mechanic, and he's been working out of Yoshi's Island for the past few years since Bowser fired him. His name's Darryl Bones.""Is he... a Dry Bones?""You got it," you say as you bite the wheel, press the pedal and get on the road. "Iff-'ll be a phew hoursh, sho buckwe up!" you muffle.And with that, you're going somewhere.+ + +"Onh, non non NON! Zis is ze terrible!"The voice rouses you from your slumber. You stretch your arms and legs and rub your eyes, then stand up. You're still in Broque Monsieur's flat, and Sal and Lily aren't anywhere to be seen.You are Leonardo Koocaprio, commander of Bowser who's currently on hideout in the Beanbean Kingdom from the Toad Town guard.>Go see what Broque Monsieur's fussing about>Find Sal and Lily>Go get some breakfast>Take a walk around town>(Other)
>>29471007>Go see what Broque Monsieur's fussing aboutThis guy.
>>29471007Let's see what's bothering our blocky host.
>>29471007Ask him where Sal and Lily are
>>29471007>Go see what Broque Monsieur's fussing about
>>29471045>>29471097>>29471157You knock on Broque Monsieur's door."Entrer, mon amie!" he says in a wobbling tone.You push open the door, and see Broque Monsieur dabbing his forehead with a white cloth and clutching today's newspaper."What's wrong?" you ask."It is terrible, Monsieur Turtle-Bits! Non... it is ANTIMAGNIFIQUE! Ze Princess Peach haz been kidnapped! Onh, how ze world weeps at zis 'orrible tragedy! Who could 'ave done zis?"Either he's being very sarcastic, or someone hasn't gotten the memo.Sal and Lily are sitting on chairs in his room, looking slightly concerned themselves.>Excuse yourself and take a walk>Get Sal and Lily alone and talk to them>Ask Broque Monsieur if you can use his phone. You need to call Bowser.>(Other)
>>29471314Ask BM if the paper says anything about three no-gooders who've been chased out of Toad Town.
>>29471314Call Bowser. " What's up, Big Boss? "
>>29471314>Get Sal and Lily alone and talk to themWe should figure out our next course of action.
>>29471415"So, uh, did it give a description of any possible captors?""Oui, monsieur. Zey describe it as a most peculiar scene, some of ze Toadies claimed to see two Peaches! One of zem was taken to Bowser's Airship, and ze ozzer one was chased out of town by two 'orrible baddies! Can you imagine zis? How 'orrible!""Yeah... 'orrible.">>29471427"Monsieur, would you mind if I use your phone?" you ask."Non. Not at all, mon amie. It iz in ze kitchen."You thank him and go into the kitchen. You pick up the yellow, blocky phone receiver and dial Bowser's number."Let's see... 102, 667, 1985."The phone rings four times before it clicks and you hear breathing. "This is Bowser, who's callin'? I'm busy!""Your Badness, this is Leonardo Koocaprio...">"And I was wondering if I could get an airship back to the castle.">"And can Sal and I hide out for a few days? We're on the run from a LOT of Peach's forces.">"And what do you know about the Beanbean Kingdom?">*click*
>>29471646>"And what do you know about the Beanbean Ki>>*click*
>>29471646>"And can Sal and I hide out for a few days? We're on the run from a LOT of Peach's forces."At least we'd get permission to hide out for a while.
>>29471646" We're deep in the sauce, big boss. We're hiding out in the BeanBean Kingdom. What's the situation with Peach?"
>>29471646"So uh... What's up your Badness?>can Sal and I hideout for a few days
>>29471752Yeah, we black ops now!
>>29471646"We're on the lam right now and laying low at a guy named Broque Monsiour's place. You know anything about him?"
>>29471839Black ops implies we're doing off-the-grid wetwork.Which I'm pretty sure we're not.
>>29471722>>29471752"We're deep in the sauce, Big Boss. We're out in the Beanbean Kingdom with some Broque Monsieur guy. What's the situation on Peach?""Beanbean Kingdom? Yeah, I think I've been there. And I know I've met a Broque Monsieur before. He's a weird block guy who talks like he's got no nose, right?""That's the one.""Yeah. But Peach is with me. I think that Stockyard Cynic thing that Kamek keeps blabbing about is setting in. She's pretty grateful about that whole Wario deal. But Mario's coming for her. Last I heard, he and his brother were halfway through World 3."There's a pause, and static."Koocaprio, I can't keep losing to that dang pair of overalls, and I've seen you and Sal on the field. I'm pulling my daughter out of her castle, and I want you to fill in and stop Mario and Luigi at the end of World 4. I'll send for an airship, now get down here! And if you don't, we'll have a NEW DRY BONES ON STAFF!"The phone clicks. You put it back down. You walk back into Broque Monsieur's room with Sal and Lily.>"Sal, Lily. Bowser wants us in the Boss Castle at World 4, and we're gonna give Mario the ride of his life.">"Sal, Lily... get your stuff. We need a new place to hide.">(Other)
>>29472056Awwwww shit. I don't know which on to pick.
>>29472056>(Other)Confer with Sal and Lily. EVERYONE knows that being stationed in the path of the Mario Bros. is tantamount to a death sentence. No one has stopped the brothers before, and being forced into their path is terrible.The Mario Bros. are the tarrasques of the Mushroom Kingdom. Don't antagonize them if you know what's good for you.
>>29472056>Sal, lily, Bowser wants us in the boss castle at world 4 to face Mario...
>>29472056>And if you don't, we'll have a NEW DRY BONES ON STAFF!"Shit, we're being layed off! Damn Dry Bones taking our jobs...
>>29472244It's not technically outsourcing. Just..."hiring internally."
>>29472156Lily is taken aback. "Wait, what? He wants ME?""No, sorry. I don't think he knows you exist yet. But he thinks Sal and I could take Mario and Luigi, and I'm sure that you would be a great help. If you, ah, want to."Sal seems to grin as he kicks his feet above the ground. "I'm all for it! I mean, the Mario brothers are tough, but we've done some incredible things! And Lily would be a great help too. If she fights anything like Peach, and Kamek's stories about the Vibe Scepter are true, there's no way we could lose."Lily seems cautious. "I don't know. Mario and Luigi have done incredible things in the past, and they've rarely lost fights. But then, if we run away, Bowser will be against us.">"We can do it, guys. Let's take that Airship.">"For the love of all things good, this is suicide! We have to run away!"
>>29472394What if we go to world 4 and let the Mario Bros. walk past? In fact, set up an item shop filled with garbage like rocks and dry shrooms so we look non-hostile.
>>29472394>"We can do it, guys. Let's take that Airship."At worst, we'll just get knocked away and left out in the cold for a while. If we're gonna do this, though, Lily needs to hide her identity so the brothers don't get confused and try to nab her. Get her a novelty Phanto mask or something.>>29472437Or that. Scam them for everything they're worth.
>>29472437Yeah, let's not kid ourselves here. Trying to straight up fight the bros. is not going to end well for us. The best we can do is lay traps to wear them out. I say we make up a fake minigame. You know, "Hit the right block out of these ten", and no matter which one they hit, a huge trapdoor sends them into a pit.
>>29472437"We can do it. Bowser's already sent out for our Airship, and it should be here any minute to take us to World 4.">>29472458"But Lily, you might end up getting mistaken for Peach. Mario and Luigi might try to, uh, 'save' you. So let's get you something to disguise your identity."You and Lily walk outside Broque Monsieur's flat and downstairs into his shop. On one wall, he has a novelty mask collection, with a few clothing accents.>A Shy Guy mask. It's bland, but it'll hide her face. It comes with a fitted hood and Shy Guy robe.>A smiling, red-and-white Phanto mask.>A head-covering mask resembling Broque Monsieur's head. It comes with a tie.>A strange, purple, heart-shaped mask with piercing orange eyes. It is the only one in stock.
>>29472786>A strange, purple, heart-shaped mask with piercing orange eyes. It is the only one in stock.Sounds interesting. I'd say the Phanto mask as well to match her color scheme, but it's her disguise, so see what she thinks.
>>29472786>>A smiling, red-and-white Phanto mask.this is good too >A strange, purple, heart-shaped mask with piercing orange eyes. It is the only one in stock.
>>29472786That heart-shaped mask sounds legit!
>>29472786Ask Broque Monsieur if there's any stories about that mask dooming entire worlds in the past.
>>29472786>A strange, purple, heart-shaped mask with piercing orange eyes. It is the only one in stock.What could go wrong?I mean, the Mario series already has an Angry Sun, what's one more angry celestial body?
>>29472786>>A head-covering mask resembling Broque Monsieur's head. It comes with a tie.YES. COMEDIC OPTION. Also Lily has to speak in a French accent.
>>29472911RELEASE THE KRAKEN
>>29472982If we're doing the item shop scam, she also needs to wear a bunny outfit. That's what all the hot girls wear when selling something, right?
>>29472394>"We can do it, guys. Let's take that Airship."Let's take a fall during the fight, have Lily in place of the standard 'Thank you for rescuing me' toad, and then she can backstab them while their guards are down.
>>29472786>A strange, purple, heart-shaped mask with piercing orange eyes. It is the only one in stock.We RPG villain now.
Rolled 40>>29472786Let's go for Majora.
>>29472881"Uh... Broque Monsieur? What's the story on this weird purple mask here?"Broque looks up from his newspaper and walks over to you. "Onh, zat? Zis is fresh in! Given to me by ze strange man with ze backpack, no? He came in with ze beautiful smile and sold me zis mask. It iz lovely, no?"The mask radiates dark magic, and you can feel your hand tremble at its might.>>29472860>>29472911>>29472842"I'll take it!" you say, handing him ten coins.Lily looks at the mask and hesitates for a moment before she dons it. She stands still for a moment, and then shivers. "That... feels nice."She looks around and feels her sweater. "I'm not sure about this nerd stuff. I have to look menacing for when Mario and Luigi show up, right?"Sal nods. "Right! In fact, I think I'll swap out too. The cute little green cloak only goes so far."Just at that moment, you can hear the whir of an airship propeller. Outside, one made to accommodate about four people touches down. You decide to leave Sal and Lily to their outfitting as you go and greet the cabby.Inside, one Snifit greets you with a wobble of his metallic snout. You give him a wave. In another moment, the door dings and Sal and Lily walk out.You're in awe at Lily's transformation. The piercing eyes of the mask are accented by what appears to be a black Magikoopa robe with pulsating red veins. The bottom of the robe reaches her feet and turns into darkness. Her hands are covered in iron gloves.Sal is wearing the Broque Monsieur mask."Onh honh! Let us head for ze World 4!" he says as he and Lily get into the boat.+ + +
10 minute intermission, fellas. I haven't eaten since breakfast, on Texas time.Be back in a moment!
>>29473356There is literally no way this can go right.
Rolled 13>>29473356"Hey, Peach, what do you feel about that mask, I felt some dark magic in it?"
>>29473445>Peach
Rolled 11>>29473459It's a test to see if majora has taken over.
>>29473356This is going places. Unlike Peach, Lily now has dark heart-power and that's a lot cooler.
>>29473478Stop saying things.
Alright, level with me. How big are "Lily's boobs?
>>29473527Oh man, you're really putting me on the spot here. Let's say, uh, B. No, no, D.C. C-cups. Like, about a 34C.That good?
>>29473575That is acceptable, though, I'm pretty sure Peach has some pretty big gazongas
>>29473626Peach and Daisy are at least relatively modest.
>>29473707Peach is like a small D cup. The dress pushes it down.
>>29473819In her athletic gear, she's still relatively petite.
>>29473575>>29473626>>29473819>>29473707Nevermind, they're 36D. It's part Peach, part Kamek's magical realm.So is that better or worse?>>29473445"Hey, Lily. How does that mask feel? I sort of felt some, uh, evil in it."She shrugs. "It's strange, I'll give you that. But there's a certain... power to it. I really like it."In the meantime, Sal is still laughing about the Broque Monsieur mask. The Snifit is visibly discomforted by Lily's appearance.
>>29473895>Kamek's magical realmOkay, that's pretty good. But isn't Kamek's magical realm one where he IS Peach? Maybe he's bi.
>>29473895"Double time, Ferryman. This is the big Shyboss! Better not make the shyboss angry or and unfortunate fate for you!"
>>29473936I think that bisexual Kamek was actually confirmed in one of the Japanese localizations of the Mario and Luigi RPG games.
>>29473895Damn, now that I think about it Sal is currently just Broque's head with little brown shoes underneath.
Rolled 18>>29473895"Well, can you identify the power as something?"
Also, if there's a drawfriend who would like to do a cover for this quest, that'd be amazing of you and I would be forever in your debt.>>29473941You give the Snifit a glare. "Double time, ferryman! We're on a schedule!"The Snifit gives you a salute and puts the pedal to the metal. The propeller whirs faster, and you fire forward into the horizon.+ + +The jungle air whips the truck's cab as you drive down the paved Yoshi's Island path. Rob happily fizzes, his head out the window. Spectro is napping, lulled to sleep by the rhythmic swaying of the plastic hula Toad on the dashboard."We're here," you announce through the wheel. You bring the truck to a stop and get out. You've reached a clearing in the jungle, and above you is a one-story metal dome, with a wooden sign out front reading "NO YOSHIS!"Spectro and Rob get out of the car.>Go inside>Knock>Examine the surrounding forest>(Other)
>>29474318>Go inside
Rolled 18>>29474318Knock and yell "Hey, Darryl, you in there? It's me, your old pal, Tanoomba!"
>>29474318Just walk right in there. Friends don't knock.
Rolled 19>>29474434But friends might have Yoshi traps.
>>29474352You walk over the stepping stones through the overgrown lawn to the heavy metal door, and ring the bell.There is a metallic chime, followed by a few seconds of clattering steps. The eyehole opens, and you're greeted by piercing yellow eyes. They study you for a second, and then the slit snaps shut and the door opens, revealing a Dry Bones with a smiling maw."Clack clatter click click!">[Tanoomba! What are you doing all the way out here?]>"Clack clack clatter?" [Well?]
>>29474512"A bunch of stuff happened, but bottom line is we've just busted out of jail. Plus, Mario and the other guy is gonna wreck Bowser's castle again pretty soon, so we wanted to hang out here for a while.
Rolled 17>>29474512"Well, you heard about Princess Peach being kidnapped? Well, I was sorta involved, and I broke out of minimum security prison, with some pals i made, and helped me get out. And I was wondering if we could crash here. But it looks like you might have your own problems, with Yoshis. You need any help with that?"
>>29474603"A bunch of stuff happened, but bottom line is we've just busted out of jail. Plus, Mario and the other guy is gonna wreck Bowser's castle again pretty soon, so we wanted to hang out here for a while."Darryl puts a finger to his bony chin. "Click click, clatter clack clock rustle ding.">[Toad Town Jail, eh? I hear that place isn't too bad, but every baddie knows that they keep records forever. About Mario? Yeah, it's about that time of year again. Come on in.]Darryl holds the door open for the three of you.The inside of his home is fairly unimpressive. The furniture is mostly either stolen from Bowser or salvaged from the island. There's a small, cracked TV in front of a rusty metal stool. All around are piles of cables, metal vehicles, weapons and shelves of doodads.In its own corner, however, is a pristine steel device, seeming about half-finished. It is covered in exposed cables, and the rounded wall behind it is covered in blueprints, circuit maps and star charts.>Consult Spectro and Rob about what to do next.>Ask Darryl about the island.>Ask Darryl about how he's been.>Ask Darryl about the machine.>(Other)
>>29474857Ask Darryl if there's anything we can do to help him out?Freeloading is rude, after all?
>>29474898This Also, mention our secret fetish for yoshi girls
>>29474857Ask him how he's been.
>>29474857>Ask Darryl about the machine.What'cha working on this time? Last I heard, you were trying to make a Fuzzy Trebuchet. Something about tricking a Fuzzy to bite on some bait, then launching it across the island. Something about pest control.
>>29474932But Anon, we can't even distinguish Yoshi girls from the boys. They don't even have long eyelashes or pink boots or stuff like that.
>>29474898>>29474949"Thanks for letting us stay here, Darryl. It's really great of you. Is there anything we can help you out with?"Darryl looks from side to side. "Click clacky. Clack rustle clack..." he hesitates, looking toward the machine, "rustle clock... click.">[Well I've been looking for help with capturing a Yoshi for, uh, research...]>[but if you'll be staying much longer, I have some... bigger plans.]>I'll help you get that Yoshi. Leave it to us!>Bigger plans? I gotta hear this.>I'm sorry, I can't do that. Yoshis are so cute!>I'm a little tired. That was a long drive.
>>29475089"I am all about bigger plans."
>>29475089Let's hear about those big plans.
>>29475089 "Oh, maybe I can ... "help" you with that research." Then, this>>29475142
Rolled 5>>29475089"What kind of research?"
>>29475142>>29475198>>29475211"I'll help you with your research. Now how about those bigger plans?"Darryl awkwardly meshes his fingers together, looking every which way. "Click. Clack clatter. Clocl rustle clatter.">[I've said too much. But they're good. We'll talk about them after you guys get me the Yoshi.]Spectro has already plopped himself on the rusty stool and continued his nap. Rob looks at you, standing on the tips of his feet and gesturing out the door.>"Alright, let's go!">"I'm not sure about this...">(Other)
>>29475353What exactly do you need this Yoshi for?
>>29475353Let's go rassle us a Yoshi.
>>29475449Awwww yissss!>>29475430Do not question. In this line of work, you don't question
>>29475430He's gonna find out once and for all if the boots and saddles are organic or not.
Rolled 20>>29475449Well, if we know what he needs it for, and it's safe, and non-humiliating, we can just transform into a yoshi.
>>29475353Let's get going.
>>29475430"Darryl, what do you need this Yoshi for, anyway?"Darryl's skeletal hands clasp tightly together. "Clack click, clock rustle clack... cli-cli-click... cli-cli-CLICKKLACKCLACK!">[I don't want to ruin it for you, but it's pretty amazing... ha ha ha... ha ha HA HA HA!]>>29475449You decide that it's in your best interests to leave Darryl be for now. You and Rob take one of his Yoshi-sized bags, fold it up and head outside.There are two places you can go.>The beach: You're less likely to find Yoshis here, but they won't be in packs.>The jungle: Yoshis here are in large groups, and might over power you.>"Rob, let's get Spectro and leave. I think Darryl's lost it."Roll 1d20.
Rolled 16>>29475633>The beach: You're less likely to find Yoshis here, but they won't be in packs.So do we just sack a Yoshi and clonk it in the head?
Rolled 12>>29475633Can my roll here please count for the beach?>>29475571
Rolled 5>>29475633>The beach: You're less likely to find Yoshis here, but they won't be in packs.
>>29473895Also I'm feeling a little weird about this.Is 36D the right size for Lily? It feels a little magical-realmy.
Rolled 3>>29475633Let's go to the beach, turn into a Yoshi to lure one of those lizards into a false sense of security.
>>29475661>>29475662>>29475667You and Rob head out to the beach. On the sands, you can smell the salty ocean air, and much to your luck you spot a solitary yellow Yoshi snacking on coconuts.>Try and coax it into the bag>Enter combat>(Other)
>>29475718>Try and coax it into the bagRob should try and get it into the bag, while we sneak around and grab a spare coconut to clonk it.

Rolled 14>>29475718Transform into a yoshi and hold it in our mouth.
Rolled 15>>29475746"Rob, do you think you can try and distract this Yoshi?" you whisper. Rob nods, and fizzes in response.You hide, low to the ground, and scuttle past the palm tree where the Yoshi feeds. You crouch behind him, and Rob sizzles loudly. The Yoshi looks over to where Rob stands, and makes an odd cooing sound as it licks its lips. It creeps toward Rob, who continues to dance around. You grab a rock from the tree and sneak up behind the Yoshi.>Roll 1d20+5 for Smashitude.Rolling for Yoshi's resistance.

Rolled 8>>29475906YEESSSSS
Sorry about the pause, guys. Neighbor called.>>29475929I run what is quite possibly the most family-friendly Quest ever. You cannot comprehend the depravity of my Magical Realm.>>29475906You konk the Yoshi on the head, and it gives out a yelp of pain as it collapses in a heap. It's breathing, but... yeesh.Rob helps you put the Yoshi in the bag, and you hoist him back to Darryl's house. From there, Darryl takes him, chains his feet in place on the ground and barely manages to hold in cackling rattles of laughter.He kicks it, waking it up with a snap. The Yoshi looks around in drowsy terror.He points a horrible, giant metal gun at the Yoshi, who trembles. LED lights flash on the gun as it charges, and the lights fade while it powers up. Finally he fires a brilliant beam at his captive.>Look away>Look on
>>29476489>Look onThis gonna be good.
Rolled 11>>29476489>Look onMUST... WATCH!
>>29476489>Look onWhat the hell is he doing?
>>29476549The Yoshi shrieks in agony as the beam singes its flesh. The brilliant, infernal light shines in prismatic colors as every part of the Yoshi is concealed by its glow. Its screams get fainter and fainter until finally the glow fades.Standing in the Yoshi's place is a skeletal creature not unlike Darryl himself. Yellow lights bob in its eye sockets, and its mouth droops open as it aimlessly stalks out of Darryl's home.Darryl takes a bow.>"Amazing!">"By god, you're a MONSTER!">"So how about those bigger plans now?">"I, uh, heh heh... gotta go."
>>29476711>"So how about those bigger plans now?"
>>29476711>"By god, you're a MONSTER!"Dry Yoshi? Really?
>>29476711"7/10 I laughed and cried. Now it doesn't have a tongue and can't make eggs"
>>29476711"Pretty impressive, and yet I must ask why.Also is your big plan turning everything into skeletons?"
>>29476711>"Amazing!"Dry Yoshi sounds like a gay porno.
Rolled 16>>29476711I just thought "He's going to make a dry yoshi, isn't he." "By stars, man! You are a genius! I'm just glad I don't have a skeletal structure."
>>29476749"So, how about those bigger plans now?" you ask, shutting the door behind the undead Yoshi."Clack click clatter... clatter click clock rattle." Darryl grumbles, clenching his fists. "Clatter rustle, click CLACK!" He slams his hand on the table. "Clatter click... clicky clack. Clatter clack rustle! Clatter rustle click, CLICK CLATTER!">[Bowser fired me... after I worked for him for FIFTEEN YEARS!]>[And then, exiled me to live with these FILTHY YOSHIS!]>[But now, with this machine... I can finally wipe them out. Recreate this island and all its creatures in my perfect image!]>[But I need the power to do it, and there's only one place in the cosmos that could possibly give me the energy I need to power this machine.]Darryl points to a photograph behind a star chart. "Clatter click click!" The photo shows none other than the beautiful Comet Observatory. Sal and Leo had told you about how they'd seen it. "Clatter clock, clack click. Rattle rustle rattle clack... rattle clack! Clack click?" He asks, holding a bony hand out to you.>[THE COMET OBSERVATORY! I've studied it for years, and once I put the finishing touches on my portal I can take us there and steal the power I need for my machine!]>[Of course, it won't be easy. The Lumas don't take kindly to strangers, especially those with ill will. But if you help me, the observatory will be YOURS!]>[So what do you say, friend?]>"I say you're crazy!">"I say that Rosalina won't know what hit her!"
>>29477102"I say you're crazy!And I'm in!"
>>29477102An undead paradise on the back of Yoshi Island.>"I say you're crazy!"What'd the Yoshis ever do to you?
Rolled 10>>29477102>"I say we're going to need help!"
>>29477102Let's do this. >>29477155They have the audacity to bear flesh in his presence.
Rolled 5>>29477102"Wait, you mean that you can't get enough energy by pulling a Bowser Galaxy move, and use dark matter?"
Once again begging for based drawfriends.>>29477148>>29477196"I'm in! But we're going to need help!"Darryl points you toward a rusted phone with a large satellite dish extending from the back. "Clack click, rustle.">[Go ahead and call someone, I've got tons of minutes.]You head over to the phone and pick up the receiver.>Call the Bowser's Castle Barracks>Call Leo and Sal>Call Snifit in Wiggler Wood>Call Rob's Weird Friends
Rolled 14>>29477325Call Leo and Sal. I want Darryl to see if he can use Majora to power his machine.
>>29477325Okay, I'm going to go ahead and try something. It's probably going to be really fucking bad, but, itll be something
>>29477325>Call Rob's Weird FriendsWe're gunna blow the whole fucking place up!
>>29477102>>"I say you're crazy!"Fuck this crazy bitch.
>>29477370You dial the number."Hi, you've reached Sal Guy, I can't come to the phone now, so leave a message."There's a beep. You hang up.>>29477444Spectro gave you the number for Rob's friends in Toad Town earlier. Looks like that'll finally come in handy.You dial it, and after five rings they pick up. There's a lot of fizzling and muffled conversation in the back."This is John-Omb of the Toad Town Bob-Omb commune, who are you and how may we help you?">"This is Tanoomba, a friend of Rob-Omb. Rob asks a favor.">"I think you can agree that a big, beautiful spaceship would be way more fun a haunt than the sewers of Toad Town, right?">"Do what I say or I'll blow you all up.>"S-sorry, wrong number."
>>29477325Call the weird friends.

Rolled 4>>29477614"Hello, I'm a friend of Rob-omb. How would you like to have some fun in space with your pals?"
>>29477614I couldn't do it. It's too bad for me to post.
>>29477651This
>>29477651"I think you can agree that a big, beautiful spaceship would be way more fun a haunt than the sewers of Toad Town, right?"There's a hush. "Keep talking," John beckons."I'm a friend of Rob-Omb, and the two of us have a friend with access to the Comet Observatory. If you could help us, ah, 'clear out' the current owners, the Bob-Omb Commune could have a much prettier place to call home.""And we'd be dealing with the Lumas?""That's right.""JUST the Lumas?""Correct.""And is there a catch?""No. Just fight, get rid of the Lumas, and the Observatory is yours."John pauses again, and you can hear him shouting out the great news to the rest of the commune. They all cheer with excitement. "Where do we need to go?""Yoshi's Island. Follow the signs past Froggy's Fort, and you should be on a paved road to a metal dome in a clearing. I'll meet you outside.""We'll be there tomorrow morning."The receiver clicks, and as you explain it to Darryl and Rob, you can see the excitement on their faces. Spectro is still asleep. You'll explain in the morning."Clack clickety, clack. Clatter.">[Thanks, Tanoomba. You can sleep anywhere you like, though nothing's very comfortable. Big, big day tomorrow.]>Go to sleep>Explore the island>Talk to Darryl

>>29477933>>29477970It's getting dark out.The tropical trees soar high into the sky, and you can see the moon reflecting on the beach.

>>29478091You walk up to the Yoshi. Its head slowly pivots toward you."Hey, fella. You feeling alright?" you ask.It opens its jaw and lets out a low, quiet groan before closing it and going back to eating dirt.>Go to sleep>(Other)
>>29477975I have no idea what that means, but you have to post it dude. Don't be a bitch.
>>29478117No. NO. Bad anon.

Rolled 18Huh, I wonder if we jumped inside it's ribcage, and transformed into a yoshi without bones, what it would do.

Rolled 10>>29478235*Eyes roll back into head and an uncanny grin forms on face* What do you mean?
>>29478178You waddle back into Darryl's house and crash on a blanket on the floor. It looks more comfortable than the couch, anyway.You begin to feel a combination of anxiety and excitement as you think about this. In less than eight hours, your squadron of bombers would arrive to take over a space station. Was working for Bowser ever this fun?As you doze off, through a grate in the roof you see a shooting star. A twinkle in the night sky.TO BE CONTINUED IN THE NEXT MUSHROOM KINGDOM QUEST!
