Jimbo, start a drum roll cause I'm opening this door!

Rolled 13

>>29884057
NO!!! NO, BAD EVIL ROOM, NOOOO!!!!

>>29884100
>>29884145
You swallow your doubt and push open the door. Immediately, a thick odor of mold and decay fills your nostrils. The walls here seem to be even more ancient, and the floors are damp.

You shine your flashlight inside, and you can see the walls covered in fungus and vines. In the corner is a pile of hay. You spot a nearly-rotten desk on the side of the room. On the wall farthest from the door is a large oaken chest.

>Look on the desk

>>29884233
>>Look in the chest

Da da da daaaaa~

>>29884233

>Open the chest

We've gotta prioritize possible treasure.

>>29884233
Check the pile of hay first.

Also don't forget to examine the ceiling and behind the door.

>>29884256
>>29884334
You slowly move toward the chest, shining your light on the floor to check for traps. Once at the chest, you notice that the wood has almost completely rotted through. Though it's locked, the lock snaps off with ease. You lift it up, and inside you see... blocks?

Yellow blocks with question marks, just like the ones floating in the air. The sides of the chest are coated with a sticky, shiny substance.

>>29884444
>>Investigate further (Substance)

Lick it.

>>29884444

Investigate the blocks. By punching them.

Also nice quad-4's.

>>29884503
You stick your finger on the side of the chest and wipe off a dab of the substance. With a bit of hesitance, you lick your finger. The substance is tasteless and textureless, but it feels unnaturally heavy in your mouth.

>>29884519
You punch one of the blocks. Its side gives out with little resistance, and it makes a low oozing sound as it falls apart. Its falling sides release more of the colorless goo.

You shine your flashlight on the dissolving block and see that one side seems to have a little stump on it, with what look like three stubby fingers. On another is a pair of tiny, closed eyes.

"Oh my... that's horrible!" Lily puts her hands in front of her mouth, sounding as if she's going to vomit.

>Check out the desk
>Take a block
>Leave
>(Other)

>>29884636

Oh God we ate Blueford?

>Take a block

>>29884636

Grab a block of hard evidence.

>>29884636

See what horrifying secrets the desk holds.

>>29884693
(What? Oh god no, that's not Blueford. Blueford's, uh... "safe".)


>>29884717
You reluctantly grab one of the blocks. Sal shines a light on it, and as you spin it around it drips the colorless goo. It has one eye on its front, three tiny legs on the bottom, and its question mark seems to be half-dissolved. The block doesn't seem to be breathing.

>>29884761
You go to the desk and set the block down. On the desk is a pile of disorganized, browned paper. The bulk of them seem to be laboratory reports, with sketched diagrams of the Mask, drawings of blocks, and scribbled sentences on the side.

Lily's hand shakes as she extends it toward one particular piece of paper. She points at it, her eyes wide with horror. You shine your light on it, and your flashlight falls from your hand.

Underneath a sketch of the mask is a perfect representation of Broque Monsieur.

>Take the papers
>Run
>RUN
>(Other)

>>29884883

Take the papers.

What? This is a perfectly ordinary abandoned mad-research shack. What would be the odds of anyone visiting now?

>>29884923
You reluctantly gather the yellowed papers into a stack and hand them to Sal. "Kamek could probably make sense of all this."

Sal groans. "I think we already know what's happening here."

The four of you file out of the shack and back to the airship. You place the slimy... block... thing on a seat next to you. Jimbo shows you Fawful's notebook. He suggests that it might contain valuable information.

>"Alright, let's go."
>"Wait... let's stay a little longer."

Rolled 19

>>29885074
Go, go, GO!

>>29885074

There's got to be a secret cellar filled with even more terrible research. Check it again.

>>29885074
>"Wait... let's stay a little longer."
>There was that other room we didn't check out and I'd personally rather get this place done than have to come back because we missed something.

>>29885138
"Get us out of here, Gil. This place is giving me the creeps." you say, gesturing to the sky. The giddy Goomba gives you a grinning nod and takes off. Harrison mutters something like "finally" as he stares off the side of the ship.

Lily sits next to you. "So I guess this means we have to go see Broque Monsieur again..."

"Oh come on, he isn't that bad. Now we know he's just the result of horrible experiments with an ancient artifact of evil!" says Sal, leaning into you and Lily's seats. With a push, Lily knocks him over.

+ + +

You wake up with a start to a pounding at the Terrace door. You swiftly grab your little Luma and hide him away. The pounding gets louder and quicker.

"Open up, Tanoomba!" comes the voice of John-Omb.

>Open it
>Stay inside

(Sorry for not following the majority vote this time, I was already writing and forgot to refresh...)

>>29885314

>"No. Do you have any idea how early it is? Well, it's hard to tell considering we're in space, but I'm not getting up yet!"

>>29885314
>"There had better be a VERY good reason for waking me up, John... I am not a morning Tanoomba."

>>29885351
>>29885383
"No!" you shout. "There'd better be a VERY good reason for waking me up, John! I am not a morning Tanoomba."

The door begins to splinter.

"S-seriously!" you stutter. "Do you have any idea how early it is? I'm not getting up yet!"

The door cracks, sending pieces of wood through the room. John-Omb is looking ragged, the metal tears all over his body wider and longer. One of his eyes is missing, giving you a view of his hollow gunmetal insides.

John and four of the commune all charge into the dome and surround you.

"What are you DOING?" you shout.

"Giving you your just desserts, traitor," he growls. "Grab him!"

He and all four of the Bob-Ombs swarm you, and they hold you down. As you kick and resist, they haul you outside to the green field below. They toss you through the air and you land on your side, making the little Luma squeak. Two more grab you and hold you down.

On one side of you, Spectro looks like a shining orb. He's covered in some kind of glowing tape. On the other side is Rob. He looks straight forward, his face one of indifference. The cracks in his body are wider than when you last saw them, and they all radiate gleaming light.

Your stomach flops when you look ahead of you. There stands Darryl Bones, his hands behind his back and his eyes locked right on you.

"So..." he mutters in his gurgling, gravelly voice, "who tossed out this little 'mutiny' idea?"

>"I d-don't know!"
>"It was me!"
>"Let me go, Darryl. We're taking this ship out of your control!"

>>29885886

What if we turn into a Puni and scamper away?

>>29885787
"It was HIM!" you cry, gesturing to Rob. "Ever since he snorted Rosadust, he's been a different person... like only HE was worthy of ruling!"

Darryl stands in silence for just a moment, and laughs. He shakes his head as he slowly stalks across the field to Rob. He grips Rob by the cap and holds him in his steel claw. Rob struggles to escape.

"I knew you were a cheat, Tanoomba, but I never thought you'd lie. So... you got what you wanted, right? Someone to take the fall for you? What do you think is going to happen to him now? Maybe he'll get a slap on the wrist and set free?"

"Darryl, that's not what I wanted to---"

"Then what did you want?" he snarls. "A fight? Because I'll gladly give you that."

>"Yeah! Right here, right now! And no using the commune!"
>"No... Darryl, please just let us go. We'll do whatever you want!"

>"ROB, EXPLODE, NOW!"

Note: I just want to let you know that if you take this fight, it's not going to be a bullshit "Darryl wins no matter what" fight like with DK and Blueford. If you choose this, you roll. And you just might win.

But you could lose.

Hopefully he doesn't spam necrolasers at us while we're pinned down because I'm hoping to run away when the bombs let go.

>>29886023

I just gotta ask, since we won (lost) those fights by a few HP: If we had won harder, would things have turned out differently? Like, the toads not being turned into experiment and organ donor?

>>29886005
"ROB, EXPLODE, NOW!" you shout. Rob continues struggling against Darryl's grip, and doesn't hear you.

>>29886026
"Yeah, let's fight! Right here, right now! And no using the commune!" you shout through gritted teeth.

Darryl snaps his claw in rapid succession with a grin. "Always the optimist, aren't you? Bombs, untie the ghost."

As the Bob-Ombs unwrap Spectro, Darryl tosses Rob-Omb on the ground next to you.

"Why are you even still HERE, Darryl? You've already destroyed Yoshi's Island, what more could you want?"

Darryl puts his hand to his face with a laugh. "I forgot to tell you, didn't I? Oh man, I thought you and Spectro would really get a kick out o THIS." he points at the highest spire of the Observatory. You can see members of the commune covering it with salvaged steel and wires. Your eyes widen in horror when you see three of them strapping the Entropy Blaster to the top.

"You see, Tanoomba... while Yoshi's Island is nice, what I REALLY want... is the world. And I did some calculations. In just four hours and sixteen minutes, the Observatory will be pointed right at the Mushroom Kingdom. And if I use all the Star Power in the Core, you and Mario and Luigi will have a front row seat to the death of your entire planet!"

Darryl tosses his head back and holds his arms up in the air. When he finishes, he holds a fist at his side and opens his claw as wide as it goes.

"Want to be a hero, old friend? Show me."

Darryl chuckles as he pulls a small remote with a bent coat hanger antenna from his pocket. "Oh, and before I forget..." he grins, and pushes the button down. Immediately, all of the Bob-Ombs (save Rob and John) begin shaking wildly. All their fuses light at once, their eyes snap closed, and they stand in a comatose state.

Darryl throws his remote to the ground and gets into a fighting stance. You release the little Luma, close you eyes and concentrate. In a puff of smoke, you take the form of a huge Chain Chomp.

Darryl runs at you and leaps into the air, taking advantage of the low gravity. He barrels down toward you, his razor-sharp claw about to snap in your eye. You roll into him as he hits the ground, sending him backward.

>No damage!

Darryl's claw digs into the ground. As he struggles to get it out, Rob jumps, hitting him on the side of his head. Darryl's arm rips out of the ground and he falls to the side.

You shift back into your true form.

"Spectro! Rob! Hit him back at me!" you shout as Darryl comes running back at you. You twirl in the air, delivering a powerful swipe of your tail right at his chest. Darryl is knocked upward, and Spectro tries to knock him back. Darryl sails right through Spectro, landing on Rob at full force. There's a sickening crunch and when Darryl gets up, you can see that his shell has been completely crushed. Yelmont's lungs are visible through the hole. They shine with stolen Star Power.

When Rob gets back up, the fissures in his body are brighter. One completely tears through his right eye. They radiate light like brilliant spotlights.

Many large cracks converge at Rob's cap. The extreme light shoots out of every single fissure. Rob shakes his head. "It is quite painful, fungus. I don't think I could stand another blow."

You give him a solemn nod. You then hear a burning, crackling hiss as Darryl tackles Spectro. He continually beats him with his white-hot claw as Yelmont's lungs sizzle inside his chest.

Rob stands on the sides, groaning in agony as the crack over his right eye overtakes his face. The Bob-Omb is almost hidden by the light around him.

"THROW ME!" the walking bomb commands. "LET ME DESTROY HIM!"

You dash to him, grip him in your teeth, and hurl him at Darryl.

Time seems to slow down as Rob sails through the air, his body shattering when it slams into Darryl. The light within him shines out, and Darryl howls in agony. You are blinded by its radiance. The sound of the Bob-Ombs fades out...

your vision swims back into focus. The whole world seems to be just a little bit blurred. Time stands still, and tiny streams of golden stardust swirl around you and Spectro. Spectro turns your attention to the place where Darryl stood.

There at over twelve feet tall stands Rosalina, her one exposed eye staring right down at you.

"Um, I think this one's yours..." you say as you push Luma toward its mother. Rosalina picks the little Luma up and strokes its head, garnering a little squeak.

"I'm sorry... I'm so very sorry... For everything... I'm sorry I helped that monster, I'm sorry that I brought him up here, I'm sorry that I didn't stop him sooner... I didn't think it'd come to this.. Please forgive me. It's all I ask."

Rosalina shakes her head and releases the little Luma to float next to her.

"Your actions alongside this fiend were atrocious and irresponsible. Were I an unforgiving person, I would strike you down where you stand."

You sink into your shoes with guilt.

"But I can see that you feel remorse from the bottom of your heart. Your actions against your former ally show me the decency that resides within you." She looks at the Bob-Ombs, watching their fire spread in slow motion. The slow explosions rend the Observatory around her. "Do not weep for me. My observatory has suffered many trials. This is not the end of our story, but if I do not act, it may be the end of yours."

She holds her wand in the air.

"I will grant you one kindness in the form of escape. Tell me, Tanoomba. What location suits you?"

>Take me to Bowser's Castle. I just want to go home.
>Take me to Toad Town. I don't want to be bad anymore.
>Take me to Darryl's house. I want to see what's become of Donkey Kong, Blueford and Yelmont.
>(Other)

"I learned a valuable lesson about how it's possible to be TOO accommodating as a houseguest. Also, I think this guy is yours."

>>29888646

Darryl's. Also, maybe tell her about the island.

Rolled 12

>>29888646
"How about to Sal and Leo? I like those guys, they're cool. Hey Spectro, you wanna come?!"

>>29888646
"Take me to Bowser's Castle... I just wanna go home..."
Also tell her about the Mario Bros that are locked up here.

>>29888646
>Take me to Darryl's house. I want to see what's become of Donkey Kong, Blueford and Yelmont.

"Also you got the Plumbers too right? Pretty sure they were around here, weren't they?"

>>29888646

Ask her what happened to Rob.

>>29888723
"I want to go back to Yoshi's Island. I need to see what happened to Darryl's---to MY victims, and try to right the wrongs."

Rosalina's lower half is completely covered in red fire. She gives you an understanding nod. "A noble pursuit. I wish you good luck, Tanoomba."

You turn to Spectro as Rosalina waves her arms. "Don't you want to come with me?" you ask. Spectro shakes his head.

"Sorry, Tanny. My life's been nothin' but running. All I bring folks is harm. I know that if I go back there, I'll forget this and I'll just keep on ruining people's lives until my soul rots away. But now... I'm finally lucid. I finally know why I ruined everyone's day for fun..."

He smiles, but not his usual malicious, toothy grin. His smile is sincere, and full of wistful regret.

"I just needed a good night's sleep."

The world speeds back up and Spectro, Rosalina, little Luma and the Observatory are consumed in flame.

So concludes this chapter of Mushroom Kingdom Quest.
I hope you enjoyed it. The next episode will be on Saturday.

>>29888960
So, what DID happen to Rob and the other Bob-Ombs?

>>29888960

Well, Bowser's gonna be disappointed.

>>29889048
Why? A guy he fired got his eventual comeuppance. If anything, we saved Bowser a job by stomping Darryl himself.

Now, if you're talking about turning over the Observatory to Bowser, that's a different issue.

>>29889038
Well, they exploded.
I'm still trying to decide whether or not Rob will come back in a later episode.

>>29889074
How about Mario and Luigi?

I'm pretty sure heroes like them can't die in explosions, especially ones they didn't cause.

>>29889069

Actually, with this story he'll think Tanoomba's a real badass so things will probably work out.

>>29889092
THERE'S A REASON I DIDN'T MENTION THEM
IT'S GONNA BE IN THE NEXT THREEEAAAD

>>29889092
Not to mention Rosalina owes her livelihood to the bros, so there's no reason they wouldn't survive.

>>29889092

How weird wouldn't that be. "Oh yeah, they died by the way."

>>29889261
eh, they're the Mario Bros. They've got extra lives.
