A very sick looking Birdo tugs Doctor Mario's sleeve and looks deep into his eyes, her own face and eyelids sagging in wishful agony. As if to say, "Doctor Mario, maybe the Star Spirits can cure my stage 6 terminal brain cancer". Doctor Mario rests a hand on Birdo's slender, pink shoulder, looks down, then looks up right in her eye, gives her a nod, and then they, too, are running off to help the Star Spirits.

"By George! With the help of the arcane Star Spirits, maybe we can finally unlock the secrets of life and death, my dear Luigi!" Professor E. Gadd garbles out in his mess of words, but Luigi understands. With a lump on his head from Lil Twink's crash, he shakes his head and backs away, not interested in being dragged away in another adventure. E. Gadd merely tugs Luigi's ear and shouts "No time to waste, Luigi boy!"

From the edge of the party, "WHA- ANOTHER CHANCE AT THE STAR SPIRITS?!" Bowser slaps Kammy Koopa on the back of her head, sending her spinning in a circle on her puttering, floating witch's broom: "What are you doing still hovering there??! Summon my Koopa Clown Copter immediately!!" Kammy, still smarting from Bowser's blow, with a hand to her head, awkwardly croaks out: "Uh- about that, Your Nastiness. It's still in the shop. . ." Bowser explodes with fury, breathing fire on a nearby Toad, scorching his head, and lifting Kammy above his head, running out of the castle courtyard, once again after the Star Spirits for his own nefarious purposes.

Peach says to Lil Twink: "Oh that's awful, I hope no baddies like Bowser get hold of the Star Spirits again. I don't think I could handle being kidnapped and taken to yet another castle!" Lil Twink is silent for a minute, then flatly says "Look, not to be a dick or anything, but this isn't really about you, you stuck-up skank. The world is at risk again. . . Will you help my Dad and the Star Spirits for the benefit of the world or not?" Peach looks towards her lavish, pink castle, then the opposite way towards the arduous, rocky trail to Mt. Rugged in the distance. "Why, I could wish for another castle!" Peach says in delight. Lil Twink, gritting his teeth and shutting his eyes: "Yeah. Uh huh. Sure. Whatever. Why not. Now let's GO!!"

In minutes, the entire castle courtyard is empty, save for one Toad, snoring in the fountain.

(There are also two more questions at the end. You can more or less skip down, the rest of this stuff is mostly mechanics and for reference)

Main: Level 1 King Bowser (10HP / 5FP / 3BP)
-Basic Shell provides 1 DEF (reduces 1 damage from all attacks without Pierce)
Moveset:
Jump (0FP) Deal 1d5 damage. (1-5 dmg)
Bite (1FP) Deal 1d12-4 damage. Pierce 2. (0-8 dmg)
Shell Strike (2FP) Strike all grounded enemies for 1d4+2 (3-6 dmg)
Bowser Breath (4FP) Roll 4d3-2 fire damage to all enemies, including enemies who are flying or on the ceiling. (2-10 dmg)
Star Spirit Menu: Currently empty.

Partner: Kammy Koopa (4HP / 6FP)
-Flies on her Witch Broom in combat. Can be knocked off, mainly through jump attacks.
Moveset:
Wand Smack (0FP) Deals 1d3 physical damage to a single enemy. Can strike enemies in the air or on the ceiling provided she is mounted on her Witch Broom. (1-3 dmg)
Mount Witch Broom (0FP) Can only be used from the ground. Puts you in the air. Restores 3FP.
Shape Beam (2FP) Deals 1d3+1 magical damage to a single enemy. Pierce 1. Cooldown: 1 turn. (2-4 dmg)
Magic Roulette (3FP) Grants Bowser a random status effect for 2 turns: (1d6) 1: +1DEF and +1ATK, 2: Electrified (Counters close physical attacks with 1 damage), 3: Regen (+3HP and +3FP), 4: Invisibility (Avoid all attacks), 5: Huge (Double damage), 6: Fast (Can perform two actions per turn.)

[UNIVERSAL ACTIONS: All characters can perform these]
Rest - Randomly restore 0-5 HP and 0-5 FP. (The roll is 2d7-2, meaning 1's and 2's restore 0)
Item - Use one item from your inventory.
Interact - Situational/environmental combat opportunities.
Flee - Attempt to get away! (Difficulty scales with battles. Bosses can never be escaped)

Party size - During battle, you are allowed up to two Partners for a total of 3, and you may face enemy squads as large as 10, though you likely won't have to worry too much about encounters that large. While travelling out of battle, it is assumed all of your partners are with you. Swapping partners in battle costs an Action.

HP - Heart Points. Once this reaches 0, the character is out of the fight (KO). There are a few items which will bring back a fallen Partner or main character during a battle. CONT'D

If the battle is won, all KO'd party members will return to 1HP. If all party members are KO'd, you will face a harsh penalty, and forced to find another way forward. Any Boss you failed to defeat will still need to be overcome.

FP - Flower Points. Used to activate strong abilities and perform certain Actions, including summoning the Star Spirits in battle.

BP - Badge Points. Used by the main character only. Allows badges to be equipped, which grant various effects and abilities.

SP - Star Points. Only affects the main character. Once you reach 100 SP, you level up. As you level, you will receive less SP for defeating the same enemies at higher levels. Can only be earned in battle. Partners level or upgrade when you present them with a Supernova Token. This can be done twice to any partner, increasing their base damage by 1 each time, and giving them new, unique abilities! But be warned, Supernova Tokens are difficult to come by!

Coins - The currency of the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond! Purchase useful Items, Badges, Info, Secrets, Crystal Ball Readings, Karate Dojo lessons, and more. Heck, someone might even sell you a Supernova Token for a high amount of Coins!

You start with 3BP (Badge Power) and you already have two Badges! (Pick 2)
>Partner Helper Plus Badge
(Equip: 2BP)
Your partners can never be Paralyzed, Burned, Frozen or Poisoned. Does NOT protect partner from being Dizzy, Soft, Shrunk or put to Sleep.
>Flame Boots Badge
(Equip: 3 BP)
This character's standard Jump attack now deals +1 damage and deals Fire damage instead of Physical, but now also costs 1FP to use. Deals double damage to Ice, Plant and some Undead enemies.
>Combat Steroid Implant Package "Badge"
(Equip: 6BP)
+5HP and +5FP. All hits by this character deal +1 damage. Every time this character rolls a 1 in combat, or misses an attack, it deals 2 UNBLOCKABLE damage to itself and becomes Dizzy during its next turn.
>Double Dip Badge
(Equip: 2 BP)
Allows two Items to be used in a single Action, rather than just one. (MAIN CHARACTER ONLY)
>Sound FX [D] Badge
(Equip: 0 BP)
Whenever you land on something hard (i.e. after jumping or falling), a loud and comical slide whistle and crash cymbal sound is produced.

Not to mention, you've come prepared with three items! (Pick 3)
> Stop Watch - Gives enemies the Paralysis effect.
> Dizzy Dial - Give enemies the Dizzy effect.
> Fright Jar - Scare enemies away in battle.
> Mr. Softener - Decreases enemy Defense by 3 for 3 turns. (Cannot go below 0)
> POW! Block - 2 damage to all enemies on ground or ceiling. Flips shelled enemies.
> Thunder Bolt - 5 damage to a single enemy.
> Volt Shroom - Grants a friendly character the Electrified effect.
> Courage Shell - Halves damage on one character for 3 turns.
> Super Soda - Restores 5FP and cures shrinking and poisoning.
> Honey Super - Restores 10HP and 5FP.
> Boiled Egg - Restores 8HP and 8FP.
> Cake Mix - Restores 1FP. Used in recipes.
(and one of QM's choice!)

(Update coming soon, vote closed)

Badges: Partner Helper Plus (2BP), Double Dip (2BP, 2FP to activate), Sound FX [D] (0BP)
Items: POW! Block, Honey Super, Boiled Egg, Fright Jar
(Bonus: Boiled Egg and Fright Jar were tied, as were the Sound FX [D] and Double Dip Badges. Instead of a QM Item pick, you can have all the highest voted Items and Badges.)

We set our goal on wedding the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom with us, the Lord of Awesomeness, King Bowser.

In a way, this also destroys what the Mushroom Kingdom is and proves Koopa Supremacy.

You and Doctor Mario technically have a truce, anyway, since he performed your vasectomy last month.

Since you only prepared for a Mario Party, the only Badges you brought along were your Double Dip Badge (to eat twice as much food), your Partner Helper Plus Badge, (so Kammy wouldn't get Frozen on the ice minigames) and the Sound FX [D] Badge (to use as a gag distraction against the other players.)

Naturally, you immediately want to equip the Sound FX [D] Badge since it's free. Initially you were amused by it's effects, the comedic sound even rousing Kammy Koopa's dry sense of humor, if only for a little while on the first day. Normally this Badge only triggers on jumps and falls. Since you are His Girthiness, King Bowser, however; instead of every attack or fall, every single step you take or great physical exertion you make causes the Badge to activate! You grumble and...
>Put it back on for the journey! It's too good of a gag to let up on so early. Crash! Crash! *Slide Whistle noises* Crash! Har har har!
>Leave it off. What do you mean Kammy Koopa can't use it? Grarrr... Maybe it'll come in handy another time, we'll bring it along.
>Only use it when you know you are about to get into a battle! Psychological noise terror warfare! Gwa ha ha!
>Grrrrrrr! Toss the stupid thing! Yeah! You're so cool!
>Write in - What do you do with the Sound FX [D] Badge?

Speaking of Badges, you only have 3BP at the moment. Which Badge would you like to equip?
>Double Dip
>Partner Helper Plus

You pin the Badge on your shell and make down the road to Mt. Rugged, still carrying Kammy Koopa above your head.

You throw her down in Musty Meadows, at the first sight of hostile Goombas, normally loyal to you. Musty Meadows is the quickest way to Mt. Rugged, a shortcut most are unwilling to take due to the unforgiving terrain and it's hostile natives, the sickly Gloombas, tainted by generations of living in disgusting and often heavily polluted habitats. As a result, they have become stronger and more independent than an average Goomba. A run of the mill Goomba can't even scratch Bowser! What with it's 2HP, 1FP and simple moveset of Headbonk for 1 damage and Call For Help!

Gloombas are much stronger, and also come in Spiked Gloomba and Paragloomba variations, as you've spotted up ahead. Their are three of them, and all of their stats look something like this:

File: GLOOMBA CRU.gif (39 KB, 418x306)

39 KB GIF

Enemy: Gloomba
(7HP / 3FP)
Gloomy Headbonk: Deals 2 damage!
Charge (3FP): Grants a friendly character +2 ATK for 2 turns.
Gloomy Call For Help! (3FP): Can only be used when alone on the battlefield. Summons another random Gloomba. (QM rolls 1d4 - 1 Gloomba, 2 Spiked, 3 Para-, 4 Spiked Para-)
(Spiked Only) (Passive) Gloomy Headbonk deals 1 extra damage AND has Pierce 1.
(Para- Only) Fell Swoop - Deals 2 damage, is not affected by spiky tops, like jump attacks are.

Similar to Kammy's Witch Broom, Paragloombas will lose their wings and fall to the ground if jumped on. They cannot regenerate their wings.

You marched through most of Musty Meadows without until now, and now it's a big problem!

Three Gloombas block the Musty Mountain Pass into Mt. Rugged. They look completely unaware of you as the spiked and winged Gloombas desperately try to explain to the plain Gloomba how to get his Egg Salad creamier and more voluminous.

How do you proceed?

All characters get one Action per Turn, unless affected by certain status effects. Typically, the friendly team attacks first, then the enemy team, and back and forth until the battle is over.

All characters always attack from inwards to outwards. Bowser leads his party from the front, and so attacks first. And once you get a third party member, they will always attack last unless their "slots" are swapped. Remember this order when making decisions! Swapping spots costs an Action from the character initiating the swap, but not the character it is swapping with.

Depending on some actions, you will have to attack the closest enemy, such as Bite. Jump is an example of an attack that can target any grounded or flying enemy. Use this to your advantage to protect yourself from certain attacks/enemies.

>Choose one action for Bowser, then one for Kammy to perform right after. Specify to the best of your abilities. Let's dash these creeps!
(Please refer to >>5200333 for base stats/moves, to be updated at our next level up.)
(Since we're Lvl. 1, each Gloomba will provide Bowser 30SP. This decreases to 25SP at Lvl. 2 and diminishes further from there.)

Suggestions:
>Bowser Jumps on Paragloomba, taking its wings off. Kammy uses Shape Beam on the Spiked Gloomba.
>Bowser Bites the Gloomba in front, Kammy uses Wand Smack on it, or if it died, on the Spiked Gloomba behind it.
>Use the POW! Block, then have Kammy use Magic Roulette.
>Have Bowser Interact with the environment, what little is here, and have Kammy Koopa use Shape Beam on the Spiked Gloomba.
(Unless you guys need any hints in the future, this will be the only time I do this.)

QM will handle all the combat rolls unless specified. (I know, not very exciting, but I think it's necessary for the system. Subject to change in the future.)

Gloomba takes a Gloomy Headbonk at Bowser! (-1HP)
Spiked Gloomba does the same, but pointier! (-3HP)
Paragoomba uses Charge on Gloomba, giving him +2ATK for 2 turns!

Bowser looks stunned, a large, single tear streaming down his face. (6/10HP)

With full FP and all of your enemies grounded, it would seem you are set up for a power move.

Ask if we get fat stacks of these we can just meet them at people.

Can we pick up the wings from the winged Goomba?

>>5201398
Can we perform combat action and UNIVERSAL ACTIONS, or does it have to be one or the other? Cool quest by the way. How long do you expect it to last until finished? 3 threads at the most?

>>5201404
>>5201408
You know what? No wings. And no helmets anymore. Kammy thinks they look tacky and refuses to wear one, besides, a Koopa's head and a Goomba's head are deceptively different in size. And stores will only pay 1 coin for 100 of either of them, as they smell of not just Goombas, but Gloombas. Just kidding, I'm not sure yet. We'll inspect it after battle.

Universal actions are combat actions that can be used universally by the party.

2-5 threads depending on how I write, more if it takes on a life of its own.

>>5199751
Does this mean Princess Peach and partner Star Child "Lil' Twink" will be our rivals?

>>5200333
is Kammy Koopa the blue robed version or obviously hag purple version?

Rolled 1, 1, 1, 2 - 2 = 3 (4d3 - 2)

Bowser depletes most of his FP to unleash, potentially, his most devastating attack in his current arsenal.

Inhaling deeply, Bowser breathes crispy, roaring loud, bright orange flames over the cluster of grey-green fungal foes, dealing damage to all of them!

A pitifully weak flame! Don't look at us like that, Kammy! You saw how much seafood salad we ate back there!

Kammy tries her best to not show obvious disappointment or laughter, and launches her signature Shape Beam at the weakened Spike Gloomba, sure to kill it in its weakened state!

This leaves the Charged Gloomba by itself at (4/7HP)!

Rolled 2 (1d4)

As expected, the Spiked Gloomba falls to the sacred geometry of Kammy's Magic Wand.

>Gloomy Call For Help!

The remaining Gloomba, once cocky and confident from being Charged, whistles for backup like a little bitch! He expends all his FP in doing so! He still has +2 ATK for one more turn.

A New Gloomba hears his compatriot's cries from the other side of the pass in the crag. and enters the fray!
(Type determined by QM roll)
1 - Regular Gloomba
2 - Spiked Gloomba
3 - Paragloomba
4 - Spiked Paragloomba

Gloomba (3HP / 0FP)
New Gloomba (7HP / 3FP)

In defensive stances, they guard the mountain pass, eyeing you wearily. Determined to keep you out, for whatever reason. Careful not to leave the New Gloomba alone on its turn, or it will probably call more reinforcements!

>Choose one action for Bowser, then one for Kammy!
>If you can defeat both enemies this turn, you will receive a bonus 5 Coins!

>>5201482
>Gloomba (4*HP / 0FP) Not 3HP.
>New (Spiked) Gloomba (7HP / 3FP)

Defeating both enemies may or may not be possible. Don't worry about it too much. Also, the New Gloomba is behind the original one, not in front. Good luck!

>>5201482
Bowser use Shell strike.
Kammy uses shapebeam would prefer the powered Gloomba but if the spiked one is close to death...

>>5201562
+1

>>5201562
Wait a second, we only have 1 FP, and we need 2 FP to use that attack.

>>5201482

Bowser use bite, then Kamma use Shape Beam on the next not dead Goomba.

Jokes on you, GILFS got me acting up.

>>5201620
>Wait a second, we only have 1 FP, and we need 2 FP to use that attack.
>>5201398
So these stats are wrong? Bowser should have 5 and SS takes 2fp?
If I'm wrong I'll support you.

Rolled 8 + 14 (1d12 + 14)

Bowser walks up to the original Gloomba and just... Attempts to chomp in to him! If the roll is 8 or above, the Gloomba is KO'd!

Anything less and you'll have to try to take him out with Kammy's Wand Smash!
(Shape Beam has 1 turn Cooldown >>5201398, meant to bring that up explicitly, my bad. It shouldn't have too much of an outcome on this fight,)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

>>5201620
>we need 2 FP to use that attack.
Correct, thank you.

>>5201628
>Stats are wrong?
They are the base stats. Right now Bowser is missing 4 HP and 4FP from this fight. Apologies for any confusion!

Rolled 1 (1d3)

>>5201827
That's supposed to be -4 not + 14.
Bowser bites down just hard enough on the Gloomba to cut it in half in his giant maw! It tastes like a jujube made of spittle, dirt and cancer! You can't attempt to scrape the taste off your tongue fast enough.

Kammy Koopa cackles at the King's spectacle, and raises her Wand in her hand and with all her limited might, comes down right on the Spiked Gloomba's ugly face!

The Spiked Gloomba is only annoyed by this, and still retains over half of his original 7HP!

Instead of using an opportunity to call in yet another comrade, this Gloomba goes full kamikaze banzai domo arigato Mr. Roboto, and does a Spiky, Gloomy Headbonk on Kammy, leaving her in Peril at 1HP!

New Spiked Gloomba - (7HP-1d3 roll / 3FP)

>Finish him!
>(QM will auto-simulate another Bite and a Wand Smack/Shape Beam to take him down.)

Rolled 3 - 4 (1d12 - 4)

Bowser's Bite need a roll of 10 or higher to finish this!

Rolled 1 + 1 (1d3 + 1)

>>5201852
Bowser takes a mighty chomp... And misses whimsically! He couldn't have jumped on the Spiked Gloomba, and he had no FP to use any other skill. Bummer.

Kammy jumps in, panicking!
Shape Beam doesn't finish it off as it was expected to!

Instead, she takes its HP down from 6 to 6-(1d3+1).

Bowser, "what was that??!! Kill him!"

Kammy, under her breath: "you didn't even HIT the lousy guy..."

Spiked Gloomba, now looking worse for wear, whistles his Gloomy Call For Help! Drats!

Sorry. QM made a fucky wucky. Now you have to kill these two Gloombas!

Rolled 3 (1d4)

Spiked Gloomba #2, now at 4HP and 0FP, has called in a friend!

Spiked Gloomba #2 - (4HP / 0FP)
NEW New Gloomba - (7HP / 3FP)

Er... Uh... The Star Spirits must be watching, and trying to influence the outcome of who rescues them! They ARE already familiar with Your Wickedness.

Yeah, yeah THAT'S what happened there. What are you waiting for? Kill the Gloombas!

>One action from Bowser (6HP / 1FP), one from Kammy. (1HP / 2 FP)
(Shape Beam is on cooldown for 1 turn)
(I'll not do any more auto-simulating unless it is braindead obvious stuff with no chance to fail. Don't want to feel like I'm monkey wrenching the whole thing like I sorta felt I just did.)

The bright side: if you survive, you'll gain enough SP for almost one and a half levels!

>>5201876
Have Bowser use jump on the spiked Gloomba.
Kammy uses fright jar.

>>5201920
I feel like I really assumed too much and failed to elaborate on the mechanics enough, my apologies. This is awkward.

Due to the spike tied to the Gloomba's head, Jump-based attacks (Like Jump or Headbonk) will do no damage and instead counterattack for 1 unblockable damage.

With the depleted FP, you can attempt another Bite (1-8 damage, 33% chance to miss) or Rest to attempt to recuperate HP and FP, or use another Universal move like Flee, Interact or Item.

Kammy is similarly limited, only being allowed patented Wand Smack and the 4 Universal moves.

Fright Jar scares enemies away from combat and does not grant SP, as they were not defeated.

You can change your answer if you'd like.

I'm leaving this update open for ~8+ hrs. while I go to sleep.

I'll probably add another 100 rule changes and don't'cha-know's by tomorrow morning.

._.

Sorry, I'll be more thorough. I'll make a pastebin in the coming days explaining in full: combat, items, etc. Please bare with me for the next day or two as I refine the mechanics. Feel free to post your thoughts, questions, comments, lets-a-go's, gwa ha ha's, etc.

The Gloombas sit and watch expectantly.
>Spiked Gloomba - (4HP / 0FP)
>Paragloomba - (7HP / 3FP)

Realizing they have an opening, they make an attack!
Spiked Gloomba performs a spiked Gloomy Headbonk at Bowser, reducing his HP by 3!
Paragloomba Charges himself up! He is depleted of FP, like the Spiked Gloomba, so you don't have to worry about his Gloomy Call For Help! but his standard attack now deals 4 damage! Watch out Kammy! That's a OHKO!

>>5202209
In a dry stroke of luck, no FP is regenerated!
But both HP's are restored to full!
That is, until the Spiked Gloomba headbonked Bowser down a notch.

Rolled 1 (1d5)

Bowser leaps devilishly into the musty, gross air!

Practically missing, Bowser falls off the mark of his flying foe by a solid meter. As he slams to the ground, he accidentally lands a glancing tail whip on the Paragloomba, taking it's wings off and dealing only 1 damage.

A comical slide whistle and splash cymbal accompany the fiasco.

Kammy sniggers as she readies another Shape Beam, but she didn't account for Bowser's horrible miss!

Does she
>Launch the Shape Beam at the wounded Spiked Goomba (33% to KO)?
Or
>Stay on course on and further weaken (2-4dmg) the grounded, Charged Paragloomba? (6HP)
...or does she
>Do something else? Hint: since our enemies have jump based moves, choosing to Swap spots with Bowser (Universal move I mentioned earlier and forgot but will add to the list) won't do anything positive in this scenario.

Put peen in Kappa

You gets up from your failed Jump, and as you scuttle back to Kammy's side, you notices that a small crowd of 3 people has gathered and is cheering you guys on! "Yeah! Grar har!"

"Uhh, Your Infernalness, I think they're actually cheering on the Gloombas to decimate us..."

Upon further inspection of these hardy adventurers in the crowd, you notice Kammy's words prove true, to your disappointment.

...

The Gloomba removes pieces of ethereal triangle stuck in his teeth, and is beat up badly. He makes a leap at Bowser for 3 damage!

The Charged Gloomba makes another attack on Bowser, who is saved by a shell! Charged Gloomba looks upset, thinking he was about to deal a death blow to King Koopa, but unable to Pierce his Defense. He is still Charged for one more turn.

Bowser is in Peril at 1HP and 1FP!
Kammy is at 4HP, but out of FP! She remains puttering in the sky on her Witch Broom.

>>5202531
Bowser & Kammy
Both Rest. We could potentially recover both HP and FP. Bowser's shell can soak 1 damage and all the Glooba's are out of FP, which means they can't use special moves or call for back up. Bowser should be positioned at the front to take the damage. He's a big boy so he can take it. No need to waste items this early on.

Don't worry too much about items, you'll have plenty of opportunities to get more, and your Usable Item Inventory maxes at 10 (unlike the Key Items Inventory which is of course unlimited). You do have some nice items to hang on to right now, though.

Not feeling so hot about Kammy's 66.6% chance of success to knock it out. On one hand, it's better than a 33.3% chance, but I just think it'd be better if she regained some HP and FP too so we can wipe both Gloombas on the next turn.

Pocket no, yeet perhalmps. Maybe Bowser will learn such a skill. Or another partner. Not Kammy, though.

They are putrid and they crumble like old pieces of parchment paper when touched
>Are the crowd of three people gloomas? Can we kick their asses after this fight for daring to go against their king?
One of the spectators is a baby Gloomba. Please don't hurt him. The other two are big, fat, pink Bob-ombs, yelling "Wooo! Headbonk 'im! Headbonk 'im!" Maybe you can confront them after this dust-up.
>Who the fuck is Bowser Jr.'s mom???
It doesn't matter, Dr. Mario aborted him in this universe.

N...No. Maybe...? No. We're not Kirby. or a (((Yoshi)))

And that closes the voting window.

Rolled 1, 5, 1, 3 - 2 = 8 (4d7 - 2)

You both try really, really hard to look unimpressed and unbothered.

You let out a yawn, to show the Gloombas they aren't phasing you.

You regain HP and FP in the same pattern as this post >>5202209

Is there something in the air here? It's so Musty! You can't concentrate on gaining FP at all!
Luckily, Bowser manages to recuperate a much needed 3 HP, and Kammy regenerates an unneeded 1HP.

You stand back to back, trying to look cool and iconic. You stumble a little bit.

youtube.com/watch?v=jnY1m0oOR0k

The Gloombas can't help but laugh at you two dorks. Then their laughter turns to gloomy malice.

The Spiked Gloomba gives Bowser another spiked Gloomy Headbonk, putting Bowser back in Peril at 1HP!

Then, the Charged Gloomba gathers all his might, and hits Kammy Koopa with a whopping 4-damage Charged Gloomy Headbonk!

Kammy Koopa falls to the floor! She's KO'd! You don't have any items to fix that!!

You stare down your dank and gloomy foes, intent on your destruction.
1 HP.
Not enough FP for any abilities.
No Partner.
A useless Badge.
Few Items.
The Crowd is silent.
Musk hangs in the air.

Okay fuck it took me a while to understand how the FP and HP worked.

Eat the Honey Super

Bowser reaches in his shell and chomps down on a mushroom drenched in Honey Syrup, refreshing him to his full Stats.

The Gloombas can't believe their rotten luck.

"Throw everything you got at him!" Says the spiked one.

So the gruesome twosome both leap on you, dealing 4 damage.

You feel great. More powerful than ever, actually.

You receive a Fire Flower which deals 3 fire damage to all enemies. Neat. You pocket that in your Usable Items Inventory.

You make sure to pick up one of those Spiked Gloomba Hats to see if there's anything you can do with it. You can't find any practical applications right now, but you'll keep it in your Key Items Inventory.

You track down those Bob-ombs after the fight and ask what the big deal was, why they didn't help you.

"Oh! We were just watching. We know we don't have what it takes to hunt the Star Spirits, but with Princess Peach and Doctor Mario and all these other celebrities chasing them down, it's become a sort of spectacle to watch for the citizenry. We were rooting for you the whole time, swear!" They lie as they dash away.

Climbing out of the pit you fell into, you are greeted by a depressed but oddly sturdy-looking Gloomba with piercings and long hair, and his entourage of two Spiked Paragloombas.

"Did you like my trap? Hehehe." He asks you.

"Hey you big jerk! Are you serious?! I could've slipped a disc back there! I'm going to sue you!!!! You'll be hearing from my lawyers!!" You retort.

"How about we just shove you back into the hole, old man?"

His goons laugh. They say "Good one, Gloomington!"

You absolute idiot. We had enough FP to KO Gloomington and you fucked it with a sub par roll.

>>5203059
Bowser: bite Gloomington

>>5203094
The fallen Spiked Paragloomba acts as a guard, positioned in front of Gloomington, making Gloomington inaccessible for a Bite! You could Bite the Gloomba to death, but that would require rolling a crit on a d12!

With your Electrified status, you're invulnerable for another turn against these melee-only attackers, dealing 1 counterattack damage if they come near you.

>Choose one Action to proceed!

Suggestions:
>Shell Strike
>Interact
>Rest
>Jump on Gloomington
>Use an Item - Which one?
Boiled Egg - (+8HP/+8FP) (Can't be used on Kammy)
x2 Fried Swoop (+4HP/+2FP, Cures Dizzy, Shrunk Soft, and Blind from one character)
POW! Block - 2 damage to each non-flying enemy (both of them)
Fright Jar - (Doesn't work on bosses. Could scare away the other Gloomba.)
(If your Double Dip Badge was equipped, you could have used your 2FP to use two items in one turn!)
>Something else >>5202891 (2FP currently)


(Packing it up for tonight, see you soon.)

>>5203104
Rest and may the dice be with us.

>>5203104
>Rest

>>5203104
Fried Swoop. This will cap us back up to 10 HP.

>>5203109
>>5203119
>Rest - Randomly restore 0-5 HP and 0-5 FP. (The roll is 2d7-2, meaning 1's and 2's restore 0)
Rest is a bad idea. Rolling a 1 or 2 nets us nothing. Rolling a 3-7 would net us either 1-5 HP or FP but all the potential health would would regain would go down the drain with the combined might of Gloomington and his ally, and I'm assuming with him being a boss he would deal slightly more damage than your run of the mill Gloomba.
The Fried Swoopa would garantee Bowser would have just enough to tank their next set of attacks before we hit them with a Shell Strike which would 100% put Gloomington out of the game, and still have enough HP to tank the Spiked Paragloomba's follow up attack.

Rolled 1 + 2 (1d4 + 2)

To the horror and dismay of the grounded Paragloomba, and the macabre fascination of Gloomington, you begin feasting on the Fried Swoop.

"Hey man... Those are like... People! Or something! You can't do that!!" the Paragloomba weakly protests. You merely look him in the grey eye and rip off the head of the bat with your teeth. Fried skin and bone breaks to give way to fully cooked gushing innards spilling out.

Hey, that's pretty good!

The Paragloomba lashes out in disgust, going for another Headbonk!

He's not the smartest bulb in the shed, getting electrocuted for a second time! He loses another HP and Bowser is once again untouched.

Gloomington merely Waits and watches powerlessly as he loses his Charged status, and you lose the -2 dice mod from the Gloom Cloud, as well as your Electrified status.

Battlefield:
Bowser: (10HP)(4FP)
Kammy: (KO)

Gloomington (2HP)(0FP)
Spiked Paragloomba (5HP)(0FP)(Grounded)

You once again retract into your shell and gain momentum and centrifugal force...

Rolled 1 + 2 (1d4 + 2)

The Spiked Paragloomba is exhausted, and now alone.

He huffs and puffs and makes a final spiked Gloomy Headbonk on you, taking you down to 7HP.

You decide to go for a second Shell Strike in a row! There's no guarantee that a Jump or Bite will end this, and there's no need to break out an Item now. Shell Strike is a sure thing, though.

Even though it would normally make you Dizzy, in this case, the battle will be over, and you'll Level Up out of your negative status effect!

The last Gloomba sees you revving up for another Shell Strike, and runs in panic!

Staring upon his K.O.'d ally as his last vision, Bowser rips the final Gloomba in twain with a power-charged shell.

Let's SPIN! THAT! WHEEL! The Mushroom Mystery Wheel! What item did we get this time?!

(+115SP!)
(Lvl. 2, 80SP)-->(Lvl. 3, 95SP)
Party restored to full HP and FP!
+1 Mushroom Mystery Wheel Spin

Kammy gets up and starts dusting herself off once again.

Gloomington follows suit and begins waking up from being K.O.'d, limping a little bit, and clearly not in as good shape as he was before the fight. You crippled him!

He looks to his left, then his right, 3 Spiked Paragloombas litter the battleground near the mouth of the musty cave. They don't stir. One of them is cut clear in half...

Gloomington savors the visceral gore for a second, then makes one last attempt: "Wait!! Spare me, please, King Koopa!! I want to join you! I, like, pledge my loyalty to you, dude!! Swear! Uncle, uncle! I give up! I'll follow you to the Pit of 100 Trials and back! I'll do anything!!"

Bowser looks at the pitiful sight, and turns to Kammy for advice.

She draws her scaly finger across her neck, following the path of a slanted guillotine blade.

You look back at Gloomington. He's already mentioning something about when he played bass and synth in an experimental screamo band with hardcore roots after Gloom School.

(hang on a minute)

Wow, you got an Ultra Shroom! This ultra-fine, feel-great Shroom restores 50HP! Hold on to that!

Also choose your Permanent Level Up Stat Boost for Bowser!
>+5 HP
>+5 FP
>+3 BP


Now choose what to do with the gloomy beggar, O Repulsive One:
>Execute Gloomington for an additional 25 SP (another level up!) Can't have TWO lazy slobs in the group... Kammy would be exhausted doing all that laundry by herself. You're certain this is a throwaway minion if you've ever seen one. After we trounce him, let's pull those Mushroom Force One's off his feet, gwa ha ha! You can use his Mushroom Force Ones to replace your Shoes. Improves your jump damage from 1d5 (1-5dmg) to 1d7+1 (2-8dmg).
>Shed pity on Gloomington. He can be your lackey. He better not be lazy, though! His stats start off more like that of an average Gloomba, with some different abilities, and with a Supernova Token, he'll be good as new, with some improved power and tricks up his sleeve. Two Supernova Tokens? Who knows what power he may attain. His specialty is Melee and Debuffs. His passive Dead Trend ability increases Bowser's BP by 2 when Gloomington is an active partner.
>Say "Give me 100 Coins and I'll let you go!!"

You get a Supernova Token either way, allowing you to buff Kammy, or Gloomington if you spared him.

Supernova Tokens make impressive differences in nearly all of a partner's capabilities, but they are incredibly rare, and valued at 1,000 Coins each, a ridiculous and exorbitant price.
Spend them wisely, as you will not likely come across enough Tokens on this journey for every partner you run across to receive the maximum 2 Supernova Token Upgrades.
Upgraded Partners will be marked with a (+) or a (++) by their name.

Rolled 3 (1d6)

I like your style.

Level up: +5 HP
Currently: Lvl. 3 King Bowser (15HP)(10FP)(3BP)

Fed up with Gloomington's anecdotes and groveling, you trounce him!

Kammy Koopa just laughs and steals the nigga's kicks, then spits on his crippled azz. Hell naw she ain't new to this!

You are presented with super-fresh, super-fly Mushroom Force Ones. A kneeling Kammy, "for you, my liege."

You accept.

Your Jump attack has improved! (1-5dmg --> 2-8dmg)
Currently, this makes your Bite move nearly useless, but it'll get a nice improvement in the near future as well.

You gain another 25 SP, pushing you to Lvl. 4, 20SP! (duuuude, nice)
This means the same enemies give you even less SP now, so be aware that levelling up may take longer in the future, depending on your encounters!

It also means you get to choose another permanent stat boost!

"Lord Bowser, I also found this in that punk ass loser's leather jacket pocket!"

"Wh-grah? What is that?"

Gloomington, aware of the robbery, moans from the ground: "G...ive... th...at..... b..bac-"

Kammy bashes his lip with her Wand, K.O.'ing Gloomington for a third time.

"Your Beefiness, it's a Supernova Token! Allow me to show you it's marvelous effects!"

-Attacking Block deals 3d4-1 damage. Can't attack enemies on the ceiling. (3-11dmg)
-Blocking Block summons a 5HP, DEF 1 Block in front of the party to absorb attacks.

All moves have been buffed, 3 more have been added, and she gets a hearty stat boost! You're pretty sure her tits are also perkier than they have been in centuries!

Bowser is stunned, a little red in the face, even. Before he can say anything to Kammy,
>QM roll!
1. A giant bird descends upon him, lifting him high into the sky! It's Mt. Rugged's guardian, Buzzar!
2. A group of 10, yes TEN Swoopers descend on the party! Ahhhh!!!!
>(3.) He smacks her in the beak and grills her on why she used the Token without asking. She explains he can't use it, leading into a loud argument. This catches the attention of a local Gloomba shopkeeper, who offers you to look at his wares. Last shop for miles, he says.
4. A group of 2 Clefts and 2 Hyper Clefts come along and make fun of Bowser for being a GILF chaser.

"What's this?! You don't have any Coins! Get out of here! What's eh? You'll barter with me! Sure thing pal, just don't expect an honest deal!! Uhuuuhuhuhuhuhuh! Hey, where'd you get that Fried Swoop? We don't have any deep fryers in Musty Meadows..."

These Gloombas sure are airheaded. Take a second to peruse the wares. If you want to buy anything, you'll have to sell something, because you have 0 Coins.

You womp the Gloomba shopkeep on his head with your new Mushroom Force Ones, and Kammy supports you with her newly boosted Wand Smack, then you Bowser Breath (-4FP) all of his supplies to a crisp, forcing him to watch - granting you 10SP, and robbing him for 10 Coins. (Current: Lvl. 4, 30SP)

"I'd like to buy a Mushroom now, please. Har har har har har!"

Kammy just floats on her broom without emotion, tracking behind you, as you perform horrible deeds like that all the time.

In less than an hour, it's no longer musty, or meadow-like. Just arid, and craggy.

You trek into the Mt. Rugged area and are greeted by 3 paths to the peak. You must choose one (QM will roll for encounter after):
>Through a field full of Clefts, Bald Clefts and Hyper Clefts. Tough, desert/mountain dwellers made of living stone who shrug off damage. They also sleep most of the day and are somewhat difficult to disturb. There's a chance you may be able to sneak to the base of the peak without a fight.
>The "safe path" that most adventurers are taking, you can see many people follow this trail up the Mountain. Not very Bowser-like to take the tourist route, but you don't have a Mega Drill or Koopa Clown Copter or anything like that due to budget cuts... Ugh... Why couldn't you secure that loan during the third fiscal quarter two years ago? Sigh... Could be some chumps to rob along the trail!

Just as the Koopa King is thinking of Double Dipping some more food, he hears a familiar cry!

It's Troopa Jr., the developmentally challenged Koopa! You and his father Troopa Sr. go way back to when you were both hatchlings.

Now that his pops is dead, it's real hard to see his autistic son that won't ever come out of his shell.

The crowd of lakitus are mocking Troopa Jr., calling him "Eggbert" and throwing rocks at him.

They are led by a jackass named Lakilester, wearing shades and a goofy hairstyle you are oddly jealous of.

It doesn't sit right with you, standing by while those Lakitus are bullying this guy! It doesn't matter how cool and popular those guys look and how lame Troopa Jr. is!

You rush to the scene and yell for the Lakitus to stop, noticing Troopa Jr. is badly injured and can't even fight back.

And you spew a cloud of flames that engulf all Lakitu clouds and riders!

Rolled 4, 3, 2, 3 = 12 (4d4)

The entire mountainside underneath the Lakitu is filled with black soot. They recoil in damage, losing over half their health. Lakilester merely pushes his shades up and commands all of his buddies to join him, and reactively use their Passive ability, Electrify!

Every 3 turns, if they take damage, they roll for a 25% chance to get Electrified for 3 turns! (must roll a 4)

Kammy Koopa, mounted on her Witch Broom, patiently waits to see which Lakitus aren't Electrified...

She floats back a good 10 feet.

It's a Broom Bash!

Rolled 2 - 1 (1d9 - 1)

Lakilester manages to become Electrified, but none of his minions do. Take care not to use physical contact/Melee attacks on him for 3 turns!

Kammy swoops in, delivering the Broom Bash to Lakitu 1, who has 5HP!

Rolled 4, 7 = 11 (2d10)

Kammy jets straight through Lakitu 1. Like, right through his cloud! Almost causing her to tumble to the ground, she turns around and its face is messed up, but the Lakitu is rather unharmed otherwise.

Enemy phase!
Lakitu 1 uses Spiny Egg (2FP) on Kammy! (-3HP)
Lakitu 2 uses Spiny Egg (2FP) on Kammy! (-3HP)
Lakitu 3 uses Charge on Lakilester! His PWR will be boosted by 2 for 2 more turns!
Lakilester uses Cloud 9 on himself, making all attacks miss half the time! Duration: 2 turns. (Determined by separate roll)

Spiny Egg is actually a move where this uncaring Lakitu prick just yeets another living creature at you as a means of attack. If they get really lucky (Roll a Crit on a d10), they'll unfurl rather than roll away, and you'll have another nemesis to defeat on your hands.

While it has no FP nor special moves, a Spiny's stats are nothing to sneeze at. 3 PWR with Pierce 1 on its only attack. 3 HP. And you guessed it, a whopping 3 DEF.

You hear laughter from the back. Lakilester bobs up and down on his singed cloud, with a Spiny Egg above his head. DId he even get hit?!?!!
1 Yes!
2 No!

>>5203865
Curse you!

>>5203865
On Cloud 9, Lakilester managed to completely dodge your breath attack!

He furiously launches the Spiny Egg above his head for a Charged 5 damage!

Just in time, Kammy summons a Yellow Block from her arcane pocket dimension!

Not only does it protect you both from Lakilester's impressive Spiky Egg toss, it still stands with 1HP left!

"Alright, go Kammy!" You say.

She winks and blows a kiss at you, and shakes her hips to one side. You choose to:
>Catch the kiss and wink back
>Throw up immediately
>Admonish her after the fight
>Write in - ???

And then get your head in the game!

>One Action each! FP's getting low, whatcha gonna do?? (Yellow Block cannot act)

Battlefield:
Yellow Block (1HP) DEF 1
Bowser (10HP)(2FP) DEF 1
Kammy (3HP)(4FP) Flying

Lakilester (18/25HP)(2FP) Flying, Electrified + Charged + Evasive for 1 more turn.

Behind you, you can hear Troopa Jr. beginning to stir awake from his K.O.

>>5203876
>Catch the kiss and wink back
Bowser uses jump.
Kammy rest.

>>5203876
>Catch the kiss and wink back

bowser and Kammy rest. This is a good opportunity to use our turn to let the Yellow Block soak an attack for us, and to wait for Lakilester's buff to run it's course.

>>5203897
I'll support cause I forgot about electrified.

You and Kammy both Rest (same pattern as last two times).

You consider trouncing that no good Lakilester, but remember he is Electrified!

You grumble and catch your breath from this hike up the mountain, tapping your foot, as Lakilester nefariously gathers... Just... Just so many Spiny Eggs. Oh Spirits...

Rolled 7, 5, 4, 3 - 2 = 17 (4d7 - 2)

Bowser gains 5FP and 3HP, while Kammy gains 2 FP and 1HP.
B:13HP 7FP
KK: 4HP 6FP

Lakilester, with ten Spiny Eggs in hand: "You really think this Yellow Block will stop me??! You can't hide from me! Have a taste of my Spiny Surge!!!!!"

Oh no! Is he really throwing all TEN at you?

Each 1 or 10 rolled is a hit!!! They deal 1 damage with Pierce 1 per hit!! And each 10 rolled will represent one Spiny who stuck around for the battle to fight you! 2-8's do absolutely nothing!

*blick blick blick blick*

During the seconds-long shower of Spiny Eggs, Kammy just barely falls to the ground, wishing you luck on your own. You could really use an Item or Ability that revives partners, but you have none!

You took four 4 damage, the Spiny spines puncturing your Shell.

It's mono e mono...

Until you realize a single Spiny that blasted the Yellow Block into chunks rebounds towards his thrower, ready to back him up!

The rain of Spiny Eggs pelted Troopa Jr., too. rousing him from his K.O.! He offers to join at limited strength, and limited respect!

"Master Troopa Jr., at your service! Now let's destroy these dinks! On my lead! Ya ha ha hee ha! Don't fall behind, now!"

>Troopa Jr. joins the party!!!

On top of his tragic past, he loves to get in to mischief, sometimes making it hard to feel bad or deal with him, as he sometimes descends into childish tantrums. You'd never do that. You're a King. Har! Har! Har... It appears he's a versatile fighter with a little bit of melee, tank and ranged offensive magic going for him. He's pretty beat up right now, though.

His stats looks like this:

Partner: Troopa Jr. (5/15HP)(3/5FP)
Magic Shell: Starts with DEF +1, similar to Bowser's Basic Shell.
>Moveset:
Shellbonk (0FP) Deals 2d2 damage. May attack Electrified enemies without penalty. (2-4) Jump-type move.
Brace (1FP) Increase DEF by an additional 2 points until next turn. Cooldown: 1.
Flame Blast (3FP) Deals 2 unblockable damage to any enemy. If this move slays the enemy, Troopa Jr. gains +5FP.
Lightning Blast (5FP) Deals Xd6-3 unblockable damage (0-3) to each enemy(X).

For a second, you're distracted, thinking of the implications of winking back at Kammy might have... But dang, if she doesn't have the moves! And a tiny waist! Har har! Aw jeez... Ever since she used that token... You start to wonder... Heh heh heh... What if... Y'know... You gave her another Token... Heh heh... Just imagine what she'd look like then! Yowza! Blood shoots out of your nose.

Troopa Jr. doesn't understand. "Pretty tough fight, huh? They must be kicking your ass for that much blood to come out minutes after their last attack! Like internal injury stuff! Gnarly!"

>And now it's time for an Action from Bowser, then Troopa Jr.!

Here's the battlefield:
Bowser (6HP)(2FP) DEF 1
Troopa Jr. (5HP)(3FP) DEF 1
Kammy is K.O.'d. Yay, Kammy!

Spiny (3HP)(0FP) DEF 3
Lakilester (18HP)(0FP) Flying

>>5204018
>that gif
he is my new son
Bowser: Boiled egg self, Fried Swoop for Troopa Jr.
Troopa Jr.: Move to the front, Brace, and call Spiny and Lakilester gay homo boys. Agro time little man.

>>5204024
Bowser may Double Dip both Items using his Badge and his last 2FP.

Troopa Jr. will have to choose to Swap or Brace, he cannot do both before the enemies act again, unfortunately.

What would you like to do?

(I'll add a choice after this battle to re-arrange party formation. You are now at a full active party size with 3 fighting members. You may gain more partners during your travel, but only 2 may accompany Bowser during Battle at a time.)

>>5204024 >>5204026
Wait scratch that, we already ate the boiled egg back here >>5203735
We still have POW! Block, Fire Flower, Ultra Shroom and Fried Swoop, I believe that's it.

>>5204026
>Double Dip approved
nice

>Brace but still call them gay huggie diaper babies

>>5204030
WE ATE THE EGG WHAT DO WE DO?!?!! WE SAID WE WOULD SAVE IT BUT WE GOT SO HUNGRY AND WE NEEDED THE FP...

>>5204035
Sorry chief I'm refreshing the page as fast as I can. Will the POW block bypass the 2 DEF for the spine guy?

>>5204035
Same for the fire flower. Will their DEF eat the fire damage, or does the fire bypass their DEF?

>>5204045
Yes, POW! Block is unblockable. Not to mention an additional interesting effect will take place, since he is a shelled character. Unfortunately, it'll miss the flying Lakilester completely. Still, it could be one of the most viable solutions to the Spiny.

>>5204046
Fire Flower will cut through the defenses

>>5204035
Fire flower.

>>5204051
Bowser: Fire Flower and Swoop on self
Troopa: Fire Breath Lak

The flower should kill the Spiny since it deals 3 damage

>>5204071
>>5204051
Wait wait wait no no I mean Shellbonk. SHELLBONK! It does more damage.

>>5204018
>Bowser: Fire flower
>Junior: Shellbonk 'lester

>>5204051
>Bowser: Fire flower

Did you say a companion can only go up to ++?
Can we give Jr. Lakilester's sunglasses?
Can we pocket the hatches and unhatched Spiny's?
Is the spiked Gloomba hat too big or too small for Jr.?

>++?
Yes
>Sunglasses?
Why not
>Spiny
No, we must conserve nature.
>Spiked Gloomba Hat
It's a perfect fit to mount on his shell. After battle, you will make him wear the spiked hat, whether he likes it or not, for his own good. Even if he doesn't like the fashion, you think it's snazzy and you're pretty sure this look is in vogue.

~

You pluck the Fire Flower from your Basic Shell and face it toward Lakilester and his loyal Spiny projectile.

As the Fire Flower activates, the Spiny attempt to curl into his shell, but you can hear the high-pitched noises which are either his desperate squeals or the rapid liquefaction of his body, or both. Lakilester is reduced to three fifths of his Max HP.

Troopa Jr. follows suit and Shellbonks Lakilester for 2d2 damage!

Lakilester tanks the blow, losing a few HP's, and raises something above his head again!

It's... It's a pitcher of Maple Syrup! An Item that restores 10FP!

Lakilester chugs what looks like 2 whole quarts of syrup... Oh Spirits, you think you're gonna be sick...

Lakilester has recovered all of his missing 8FP! He's ready for another Spiny Surge... Or something else!!!

>One Action for Bowser, then one for Troopa Jr.!
Field:
Bowser (6HP)(2FP) DEF 1
Troopa Jr. (5HP)(3FP) DEF 1

Lakilester [(15 - 2d2roll) HP](8FP) Flying

Lakilester's at 12HP! Do you try to finish him off in a turn or two, or do something to heal or defend yourself?! Or a mix?

>>5204454
Can we use the interact action to catch any Spiny's he might throw at us, then throw them back?

>>5204454
Each spiny egg from his spiny surge deals 1 damage and 1 pierce right? So if Troopa and Bowser both take the defend general action, their defense should be high enough to mitigate most of the damage?
Can bowser one of the defeated Lakitu?

>>5204454

Alright
Double Defend. Hey doesn't jumping on someone have the chance of knocking them off their broom or cloud? Like in the last turn when Troopa jumped on him?

>>5204503
>are you sure?

Rolled 1, 1, 7, 6, 3, 3, 3, 10, 7, 9 = 50 (10d10)

>>5204469
Normally this one would be an option, but the spikes on the Spiny (we'll call this the "Top-Spiky" passive ability for all similar traits, such as the Gloomba Spike Hat). Lakitus have a trait which allows them to handle to them without penalty.
>>5204473
>>5204503
>>5204510
With Bowser's Basic Shell and Troopa Jr.'s Magic Shell, a double Defend would put them at DEF 2, indeed mitigating any damage from another...

>Spiny Surge!!! (Only 10's count this time! They'll still spawn a Spiny each!

As King Koopa sees both himself and his young shelled sidekick huffing and puffing, he considers a Rest until he sees Lakilester gathering his minions again!

"Shell up! Shell up!" You tell!

Though your two shells aren't necessarily the same in material, they get the job done similarly, protecting you from the storm of Spinies.

They *blick* of off your prepared shells like Goomnuts!

Another Spiny is spawned, and at the cost of only 2FP!

>Your turn, King/Jr.
Same stats as here >>5204454 and
-2FP on Lakilester, and with one additional enemy:
Spiny (3HP)(0FP) DEF 3

>>5204552
Bowser: Swoop self and POW! block
Troopa: If the POW! block brought the Spiny down to 1hp, use Flame Blast to kill it and regain 5FP.

"Help, Bowser, help!" Troopa yells at you while you feast on a succelent Fried Swoop.

You start with the legs, which crunch under your mighty maw.

"Please!!! Help!" Troopa Jr. pleads.

Next is the belly, which bursts with perfectly contained juices like rivers of nutrients through your huge teeth, still a little bit warm. This is where most of the HP gain comes from

"I'm being serious, he's going to squash us!!"

Then, as a delicacy and of course the source of the FP, melting on your regal tongue, is the head, containing the jellied brains of the Fried Swoo-

"Ahhhh!"

"Oh would you quit panicking! I'm trying to enjoy a meal here!!" you say.

"B-but Bowser, Lakilester is going to keep summoning those Spinies!"

You grumble and Double Dip your POW! Block. The block shakes violently as you jump at it, and the earth under the Spiny does the same, causing him 2 damage and flipping him on his back for a turn, removing all of its DEF and other capabilities!

Troopa could finish him off with a Shellbonk, but his Flame Blast will refill his FP reserves, so he chooses to burn this Spiny to a paste, just like the last one!

Lakilester is horrified. He summons a relentless Whirlwind, Charging him up for 2 turns and instantly making both Bowser and Troopa Jr. Dizzy for 2 turns, and removing all other status effects from them (which happens to be none).

A lightning cloud booms, then crackles overhead.

>Choose an Action for Bowser, then Troopa Jr.!
You are Dizzy and can barely see straight! Most damage-based commands will have a harder time of landing where you want it to!

Bowser (10HP)(2FP) DEF 1, Dizzy (2)
Troopa Jr. (5HP)(5FP) DEF 1, Dizzy (2)

Lakilester (12HP)(8FP) Flying, Charged (2)

>>5204614
Lakilester should only have 2FP [after Spiny Surge (2FP) and Whirlwind (4FP)]

>>5204614
Jump for Bowser,
Shellbonk.
Lets get his health down.

>>5204620
+1 lets give it a shot

Rolled 5 + 1 (1d7 + 1)

Bowser leaps, showing off his newly-acquired Mushroom Force Ones!! Jealous, Lakilester?!

Rolled 1 (1d4)

He's a little Dizzy, but he goes for it! (probably should've rolled this first)

Dizzy Check:
1 Land
2 Land
3 Land on alternate enemy if there is one, or it's a miss. Single-target attacks only. For multi-target attacks, this is a miss.
4 Miss

Rolled 2 (1d4)

The Jump attack lands, and it's a nasty collision at that, smearing his dumb hair gel all over his head and your shoe, nearly causing you to slip when you land.

Troopa Jr. follows up by waddling quickly behind you, and jumping in to the air, tucking in to his eggshell as he BONKS! into his tormentor!

Unfortunately it's not enough, but he's certainly on his last leg!

Wait, did that Shellbonk even hit?!?! (Another Dizzy Check!)

Lakilester rallies his Spinies once more, what little is left of them on this mountainside, and he attempts another Surge!

Rolled 2, 1 = 3 (2d2)

The Shellbonk also landed on its mark, taking Lakilester down by (2d2) HP!

Rolled 2, 2, 8, 3, 8, 3, 10, 4, 9, 7 = 56 (10d10)

At a dangerous 3 of 25HP, Lakilester summons the last of his men for a Spiny Surge. He barely manages to find exactly 10 Spinies that haven't left his side, either metaphorically, or by physically tumbling down the mountain, by his hand or their own.

It doesn't seem like their heart is in it, but Lakilester is RAGING, along with the small thunderclouds gathered behind and above him.

Emptying his FP reserves, he launches a final Spiny Surge!

Do any stick around to fight you? How many hit their intended target!?

>>5204652
He's at 3 HP left! We gotta jump him!

>>5202906
>>5204658
Bowser (10HP)(2FP) DEF 1, Dizzy (2)
(+4HP/+2FP, Cures Dizzy, Shrunk Soft, and Blind from one character)
Shouldn't we be at 4FP?

Only one damage (Charged does not affect this move.) is done to our boys, and only one loyal Spiny sticks around to defend Lakilester.

"Hey, now that the other Lakitus are gone and I'm the only Spiny that stuck around, can I be your best friend, Lakilester?"

"Shut up, peon." Lakilester says with a sigh, knowing his pummeling is nigh.

>Wipe 'em up!

Rolled 3 + 1 (1d7 + 1)

Bowser leaps in his slimied MF1's!

Lakilester screams, not wanting to be squished!

Rolled 2 (1d6)

The Spiny watches as Lakilester's cloud is scattered four ways to the wind, and the rider is displaying several exposed bones.

Simulation:
-Troopa Jr. uses Flame Blast
-Spiny takes Bowser down to 6HP because he can't get to Troopa and has no special moves
-Bowser and Troopa Jr. trounce this punk!

Gwa ha ha! It's over!

You wished there was a Crowd here to see that, but you're on an incredibly inaccessible mountain!

You walk over to Lakilester and loot his body, pilfering his...
>Spike Shield Badge!
(Equip: 3BP)
Allows Bowser to ignore the "Top-Spiky" status and freely attack such enemies as Spiked Gloombas, Spinies, etc.

That explains how Lakilester handled the Spinies so masterfully.

Because of the 3 extra foes, this battle's SP is boosted from 60 to 78!
Spiny (6) x 3 = 18
Lakitu (10) x 3 = 30
Lakilester (30) x 1 = 30

>Bowser, Lvl. 5, 28SP
>You've gained another level! All party members restored to full HP and FP!

Lakilester lies on the rocky clearing floor, crying in agony from the sight of his own bones exposed to air. Troopa Jr. walks up and smacks him on the back of the head.

There's time for one more event on this side mountain before reaching the summit of Mt. Rugged, but first...
It's a Mushroom Mystery Wheel!!!

Rolled 1 (1d3)

You obtain a Sleepy Sheep!

Also, after examining the battleground, you find a nest which used to have Eggs, but now has Boiled Eggs!

Wow, boiled without any water, somehow! Cool!

You also obtain Boiled Egg x2

Now choose how to permanently boost Bowser's stats!
>+5HP
>+5FP
>+3BP

(You currently have 15HP, 10FP and 6BP.)

Then choose how to equip your Badges.
>Spike Shield and Double Dip. (1BP left) (Sorry, partners.)
>Spike Shield and Partner Helper Plus (1BP left) (You needed to go on a diet from Double Dipping anyway)
>Double Dip and PHP (2BP left) (Jumping on spikes seems suicidal even with a Badge, makes you clench your butthole just thinking about it, you big sissy.)
>You chose to boost your BP and can wear all of these Badges no problem. (2BP left)

Now I will roll for our last encounter on this smaller, sister mountain of Mt. Rugged.
>1 - Buzzar finds you

Looks like those eggs were from Buzzar's nest. Uh-oh!

No running from a Boss battle!

(next update in a couple hours, please choose level up bonus and Badge configuration)

>>5204727
Will change to this badge setup. I'm guessing no spiked enemies in the next fight.

You keep the Spike Shield Badge in the Badge Case in your Key Items Inventory for now.

Bowser, coming in to Lvl 5., learns a new move!

>Tantrum Stamp is now available!
For 4FP, Bowser makes 4 unblockable stomps, attacking all non-Flying enemies for 4d4-2. If it misses, he'll be fuming mad/embarrassed, and Charged for 1 turn!

For reference, I'm going to list all possible combat commands in this post and the next so you don't have to visit the pastebin which is a bit outdated. Ignore them for now if you like.

Star Spirit Menu: Currently empty, but you're getting closer and closer to where Muskular is supposed to be!
