The Final Shard, Part 4

<DM>	LAST TIME....... short session, but anywhoo...
<DM>	You encountered the Great Poe of Doom! And after phasing through the walls of the Temple of Temple, you found the whole place was an illusion. You came up with a plan to whittle down the Great Poe in an effort to kill off the pile of corpses it's dragging along, so Dan and Strife became the decoy group while you and Monroe decided to try and snipe it from afar.
<DM>	You and Monroe headed to the three-story buildings, and you managed to snipe off a few corpses, but not before getting sniped back by the Great Poe. You fell off one of the buildings, and you landed in an alleyway engulfed in darkness.
<DM>	http://i.imgur.com/NERB843.gif --> The "south exit" is that alleyway.
<DM>	(inbetween T and Q)
<DM>	You decided to head farther into that darkness, where you encountered a loading screen.
<DM>	Alllrighty, say ready when ready
*	DM pokes Sephiroth with a stick.
*	Sephiroth falls over.
<DM>	fascinating
<DM>	so yeah, ready Sephiroth?
<Sephiroth>	Yeah.
<DM>	kay
<DM>	-=QUESTO CONTINUE=-
<DM>	*You feel a pain from the injury you sustained from the Great Poe's attack. To the north, you can see the Labyrinth covering the plaza (the area around the fountain). To the south is a veil of complete darkness, unlike Mr. Popo.*
*	Sephiroth examines the wall to his east.
<DM>	*It seems worn down, similar to the other worn down buildings.*
<DM>	*Some vines are crawling up it, though close to the darkness, those vines appear to be decaying.*
<DM>	*closer to the darkness
*	Serikka_Tonatsu is back (gone 02:38:22)
*	Sephiroth turns around and inspects the west wall
<DM>	*It's the same thing, with a different variation. Worn down, vines covering parts of it, with the vines closer to the darkness decaying.*
*	Sephiroth pokes a vine.
<DM>	*The vine feels moldy, but soft and living.*
*	Sephiroth sets us up a bomb.
*	Sephiroth runs.

<Sephiroth>	$48d10
<Navi>	Sephiroth: You rolled 48 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 5, 1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 6, 7, 6, 10, 5, 7, 2, 3, 8, 2, 10, 5, 5, 6, 4, 10, 1, 7, 8, 8, 7, 5, 5, 3, 9, 9, 6, 8, 8, 7, 8, 8, 2, 4, 3, 9, 4, 6, 9, 8, 2 and 1. Total: 269. Successes: 35.
<DM>	*Your bomb explodes, caving the lower wall of the three-story building inwards. From within, you can see a hallway.*
<DM>	*Down the far end of the hallway, you can hear noises... they're too faint to distinguish at this range.*
<DM>	*There are a number of doors on each side of the hallway, continuing for the next 30 feet into darkness. The light extends to that point, but no further.*
<Sephiroth>	(How many doors in this hallway.)
<DM>	*You can see 3 doors on each side at the moment, so 6 doors total.*
*	Sephiroth walks 2 doors down and pokes the door to his left.
<DM>	*The door takes 1 damage, and it asks Kefka why someone would do that.*
<Kefka>	Read my lips - mercy is for wimps! There's a reason "oppose" rhymes with "dispose"...If they get in your way, kill them!
<DM>	*The door explodes spontaneously before your might.*
*	Sephiroth walks through the doorway.
<DM>	*It's a wide room, with multiple doors into it, aka the ones you just past and the one you entered from. Tables are set up all across it. However, on the other side of the room on the long wall... is a set of windows. Bright, blinding light appears to be periodically flashing from the windows, illuminating the room entirely for brief instants.*
<DM>	*You can make out faint outlines of figures standing in front of the windows, every time it flashes.*
*	Sephiroth thinks to himself. "Tables, eh?"
*	Sephiroth attempts to flip the nearest table!
<DM>	*FLIPPIN' TABLES!*
<DM>	*Roll Power!

<DM>	*For a moment, you think of a certain Goron as the table before you is flung into the set of windows across from you. A brief flash of light shows a dark figure getting slammed in the face by your epic table flip. The table and the figure blast through the windows, causing whatever it was to take 22 damage.*
<DM>	*The lighting from what was behind the windows stops, and all you can see is the infinite veil of darkness that you saw from the alleyway. Sound appears to not exist in that direction.*
<DM>	*There's a sudden scream to you left. The sound of something haunting causing a startling shriek, unpleasant to the ears. However, part of the shriek gets droned out by the darkness, which begins to slowly encroach its way into the room, as if devouring the room itself.*
*	Sephiroth retreats back into the hallway and pokes the door straight across from him.
<DM>	*The door slowly creaks open in agonizing pain before dying and falling down before you.*
*	Sephiroth enters the doorway.
<DM>	-=ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! Made a door cry and scream before you until it died. You gain 5 Experience and 25 Rupees!*
<Sephiroth>	(lol)
<DM>	*You enter the doorway, and you find yourself... in the exact same room? However, you find yourself entering from the left side of the room instead of the right side of the room. The "edits" you caused are not there. Flashes of light periodically light the room up for brief instants, revealing two dark figures, just like the other room.*
*	Sephiroth flips tables.
<Sephiroth>	$48d10
<Navi>	Sephiroth: You rolled 48 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 10, 1, 7, 3, 3, 1, 7, 4, 3, 3, 7, 6, 5, 5, 4, 5, 2, 7, 5, 10, 2, 1, 8, 5, 5, 1, 9, 10, 4, 7, 6, 2, 7, 6, 3, 9, 5, 1, 4, 4, 1, 10, 10, 8, 10, 9, 9 and 3. Total: 257. Successes: 34.
<DM>	*The table flips, and you send it across the room. The flash of light strikes, and you see the table phase through a dark figure. The table also flips through the window.*
*	Sephiroth blames Shane.
<DM>	*All sound in the room seems to get sucked out into the direction of the dark figure. Its eyes glow red, and it smiles. It begins to slowly walk towards you, as the windows behind it flashes beams of continuous lights, lighting up the room, save for the dark figures.*
<DM>	*They seem to be humanoid, but hunched over. They're made entirely of darkness, and they continue to smile creepily and slowly move towards you.*
*	Sephiroth exits the room and runs back towards the alleyway.
<DM>	*You run back towards the alleyway, but the exit leads to... that weird conference-type room, like you were just in for the previous two rooms.*
*	Sephiroth flips a table for the third time, aiming it directly at the fourth wall.
<Sephiroth>	$48d10
<Navi>	Sephiroth: You rolled 48 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 7, 2, 5, 7, 8, 5, 9, 6, 1, 1, 10, 10, 2, 6, 2, 4, 3, 1, 6, 8, 10, 4, 8, 3, 5, 3, 4, 4, 2, 8, 2, 1, 5, 9, 6, 9, 5, 7, 8, 3, 9, 9, 9, 3, 3, 7, 9 and 1. Total: 259. Successes: 31.
*	DM counts the walls...
*	Sephiroth kicks DM out the window.
*	You have been kicked from #zurpg by Sephiroth (You have been kicked out the window and you landed in jail! «16,337»)
<DM>	*The table slams into the fourth wall. The fourth wall crashes down, revealing what appears to be a family of those dark figures, varying in different heights. The taller ones are smiling, while the smaller ones are frowning, looking up towards the larger ones.*
<DM>	*You find yourself surrounded by these dark figures, all of them staring at you. They all walk towards you, slowly.*
*	Sephiroth holds up a sign: "Uh oh..."
<DM>	*The only thing in the room that's audible are their footsteps.*
<DM>	*Suddenly, you hear a crashing noise from somewhere. There's also someone saying something in a panicked voice, coming towards you along with a flurry of fleeting footsteps.*
<DM>	*The figures continue their pace towards you, and the sound goes back to being blocked out entirely.*
<DM>	*The closest one, a small one, is about 4 feet from your foot. It seems to be reaching for it, its frown turning gradually into a smile with fangs.*
<DM>	*You hear a voice... different from the panicking one. It sounds like the Great Poe, from when it found you all earlier, back in the Temple of Temple.*
<DM>	[???]: It's tooooo laaaate. You've entered my domaaaaaaaain.
<DM>	[???]: You cannot escape... you will not escape.
<DM>	[???]: You will die here, and turn into the shadows of these once-residents-
*	Sephiroth tries to run for the door.
<DM>	*Roll Courage vs. 40 successes!*
<Sephiroth>	$45d10
<Navi>	Sephiroth: You rolled 45 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 9, 5, 10, 1, 6, 3, 2, 2, 1, 8, 7, 8, 1, 8, 9, 2, 1, 8, 1, 5, 8, 4, 1, 7, 9, 5, 7, 9, 7, 1, 4, 6, 6, 5, 5, 9, 8, 6, 8, 4, 4, 1, 10, 5 and 5. Total: 241. Successes: 31.
<DM>	*You run towards the door, but the image of the door fades away, as it's replaced by a dark figure, this one twice the size of you. It looms over you, continuing to grow in size...*
<DM>	*Suddenly, a hookshot blasts through the dark figures. The chain blows right past you, about a foot to your right.*
*	Sephiroth jumps.
<DM>	*You hear, from the direction of the large dark figure... "GRAB ON TIGHT!"*
*	Sephiroth reaches for the chain.
<DM>	*You grab the chain. It starts reeling in towards the direction it fired.*
<DM>	[???]: You cannot escape... you will not-
<DM>	*You escape, and you land up back in the alleyway you were just in, with Monroe right next to you.*
*	X_X is now known as Monroe
<Monroe>	Gotta go, gotta go, GOTTA GO!
<Sephiroth>	"Well, the bathroom in that building is occupied..."
*	Monroe grabs his Megaton Hammer and slams the wall into Building Q.*
<Monroe>	$60d10
<Navi>	Monroe: You rolled 60 Dice with 10 Sides. Total: 296. Successes: 35.
*	Monroe practically disintegrates the wall. You can see a dark hallway ahead of you, looking similar to the previous one, but light seems to be extending all the way down the hallway.*
<Monroe>	RUN FAST, QUICK!
*	Monroe runs down the hall, asap.
<DM>	*Monroe, roll Courage vs. 35 successes.*
*	Sephiroth scurries behind Monroe
<DM>	*Roll Courage vs. 35 successes too
<Sephiroth>	$45d10
<Monroe>	$52d10
<Navi>	Sephiroth: You rolled 45 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 9, 2, 7, 7, 3, 10, 5, 4, 5, 1, 1, 1, 8, 4, 10, 4, 2, 10, 9, 1, 10, 6, 4, 8, 2, 3, 3, 6, 1, 9, 6, 9, 10, 10, 6, 10, 7, 5, 2, 2, 1, 2, 6, 7 and 7. Total: 245. Successes: 33.
<Navi>	Monroe: You rolled 52 Dice with 10 Sides. Total: 328. Successes: 40.
<DM>	*You both run ahead and through the hallway when, suddenly, a deafening BOOM is heard behind you.*
<DM>	*A large shockwave turns the creepypasta building and the set of buildings next to it to dust, and the shockwave rushes in behind you. Monroe, you manage to escape the shockwave. Sephiroth, the edge of the shockwave hits you just slightly, causing you to tumble and barrel roll down the hallway.*
<DM>	*Roll Courage vs. 33 successes to recover from your tumble before you slam into the wall on the far end!*
<Sephiroth>	$45d10
<Navi>	Sephiroth: You rolled 45 Dice with 10 Sides. Result: 8, 6, 2, 5, 6, 6, 9, 7, 1, 2, 8, 5, 7, 9, 8, 2, 3, 6, 9, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 6, 5, 6, 5, 1, 7, 5, 8, 6, 2, 8, 6, 5, 3, 8, 5, 8, 3, 1, 5 and 5. Total: 252. Successes: 35.
<DM>	*You do a barrel roll, just as Peppy says, coming to a halt just before you slam into a wall. You find your face about 2 inches away from the impending wall. It remains unamused.*
<DM>	*Half of the building behind you collapses, blocking the way you came in (unless you want to blow it up).*
*	Monroe draws his Diamond Breaker. Its Searing Flames serves as a torch, lighting the area up a bit.
<Monroe>	Whew! Nearly suicided on me own bomb!
<DM>	*Monroe, where did you get that bomb and where can I find some of it.*
*	Sephiroth pulls out a torch. :P
<DM>	*Your torch lights itself. It doesn't set anything on fire, and illuminates the room better than Monroe's sword. There's a door on either side of you (left or right), just to your left (but still in front of you) is a stairway leading up.*
<Monroe>	So, just blew up a dozen zombie folk! What'd I miss?
<Sephiroth>	Flippin' Tables.
*	Sephiroth Shades.
<Monroe>	Huh. That's cool.
<DM>	*One of the dark figures screams as it turns into your shades. It disappears with style, leaving you with a sense of feeling cool, unlike Fireblast124.*
<Sephiroth>	Oh, and poking doors and causing them to scream in agony before spontaneously combusting.
<Monroe>	That's... interesting.
*	Sephiroth pokes the door to his right.
<DM>	*The door doesn't scream. It just crumbles and turns to dust, choking from its own particles before suffocating and leaving a trail of tears behind.*
<DM>	.......... oh god dangit
<DM>	did I
<DM>	..... did I just do that
*	DM wallows in his self-despair as a result of doing something horrible.
*	Sephiroth enters the trail of tears.
<DM>	*You find a bunch of Nativ-
<DM>	*You find a room.*
*	DM runs.
*	Sephiroth kicks DM out the window.
*	You have been kicked from #zurpg by Sephiroth (You have been kicked out the window and you landed on a ship that's headed to Antarctica! Better take your winter coat along with you! «16,340»)
<DM>	*It appears to be a bedroom, vines crawling over everything. The bed is in ruins, the torches on the walls are rotting, a bookshelf on the side is completely collapsed, and several would-be tables are complete rubble.*
<DM>	*There is a painting above the bed. It's dusty, but it remains intact.*
<Monroe>	Hey...
*	Sephiroth hears the phrase, and begins staring at the art.
<Monroe>	Mind if we blow up this room too?
<DM>	*The painting shows a grown man with a trimmed mustache, standing tall and having his arms resting on two children next to you. His eyes are squinted and he's got a large, proud smile on. He looks strikingly like Monroe, only not as bulky and wide.*
<DM>	*on two children next to him
*	Nexas is back (gone 00:14:11)
*	Monroe is staring at the ground, as if refusing to look at the picture.
<Monroe>	... I don't like this place. Let's just... nuke it all.
<Sephiroth>	"Do it."
*	Monroe lights a bomb. He looks at it with cold eyes as a teardrop slowly falls down his cheek. He looks at the painting briefly before placing the bomb next to it.
*	Monroe mutters...
<Monroe>	To hell with my name as the Lone Survivor...
<Monroe>	Let's go.
*	Monroe heads out of the room and goes up the stairs.
*	Sephiroth follows.
<DM>	*You reach the second floor when you hear the bomb explode from downstairs. You hear a crashing sound from the room to your left, and the door falls inwards into the pile of rubble.*
<Monroe>	Well well well... no time to rest, eh?
<DM>	*There's a shrieking noise. Across the other side of the hallway is a Gibdo and a Redead, their eyes planted on you both.*
*	X__X is now known as Gibdo
*	X___X is now known as Redead
*	Monroe unpops the cork on one of his Deep Red Potions and splashes it onto Sephiroth.
*	Sephiroth ... is now drenched. o_O
<DM>	*The potion absorbs through your skin. How? Science. You recover 18 Hearts.*
<Monroe>	Alllrighty, whaddya say we crash these undead folks? Pretty sure my special explosive from earlier wrecked most of them. I reckon these two are the last ones left!
*	Sephiroth is now at full health.
*	Sephiroth enters battle stance.
<DM>	*Roll initiatives!*

*	Eldin turns towards you two, his grumpiness turning to surprise.
*	Eldin grows a look of slight anger, directing it at Sephiroth.
<Eldin>	So, you're so greedy, that you place it into your sword. Fine, why don't we-
*	Sephiroth explains how it ended up in the sword."
*	Zelda snaps her fingers, and a wall of light surrounds Eldin.
<Zelda>	Please Eldin, stop being so quick to judge!
*	Zelda bows to Sephiroth, apologizing for Eldin's rather rude behavior.
<Zelda>	I'm sorry, he's not normally this bad!
<Eldin>	Grr...
<Zelda>	So, it's stuck...
<Monroe>	Ahem... figured err.. Lord Eldin could pry that out... what with all those gems in your lances.
<Eldin>	. . .
<Eldin>	*ahem*
<DM>	*The barrier around him drops, and he puts on a glove with a magic circle on its palm.*
*	Eldin reaches into his palm with his other hand, pulling out one of his lances, as if pulling it out of an alternate dimension.
<Eldin>	Place the sword on the ground.
*	Sephiroth places Oblivion on the ground before him.
*	Eldin raises his lance... and thrusts it down onto the Nayru's Love Shard embedded into Oblivion's hilt.
<Eldin>	$97d10
<Navi>	Eldin: You rolled 97 Dice with 10 Sides. Total: 513. Successes: 68.
<DM>	*There's an eletric discharge followed by a shockwave, knocking everyone back. Eldin is flung into the wall behind him, but he recovers.*
<DM>	*The gem is no longer in Oblivion's hilt... but now it glows red. You can all hear voices, similar to the voices of Poes, echoing throughout the room.*
*	Zelda raises a dark orange gem, and she fires a blast of fire at the gem.
<Zelda>	$112d10
<Navi>	Zelda: You rolled 112 Dice with 10 Sides. Total: 601. Successes: 74.
<DM>	*The fires swirl inside of the gem, as three more barriers, one of light, one of arcane energy, and one made of gold dust, all cover the gem.*
*	Zelda sighs an air of relief.
<Eldin>	The heck was that?!
<Monroe>	That... didn't seem good.
<Zelda>	It's not...
*	Sephiroth is confused by the events that occurred.
<Zelda>	... you said you got this from the Catacombs?
<Sephiroth>	"Yes."
<Monroe>	Yeah. Big frigin' poe down there.
*	Zelda pulls out her Nayru's Love Shard.
<Zelda>	When I encountered this one, it kept crystallizing everything it touched, but when those beings were destroyed, the shard was silenced.
<Zelda>	Did this shard crystallize anything?
<Sephiroth>	"No."
<Monroe>	Uhh.. wait, Dan mentioned somethin'...
<Monroe>	He said there was a crystallized Poe, but he hadn't seen it since...
<Zelda>	Then, before we can combine these gems...
<Zelda>	That Poe must be defeated first.
<Monroe>	Wait, you're tellin' me that one we just beat wasn't the one that got crystallized?
<DM>	*You recall that the Poe you defeated remarked about being defeated by the power of those gems... once before, as well.*
<Sephiroth>	"That poe, when we defeated it, remarked about beind defeated by these gems once before.."
<Zelda>	For now, I will hold onto these gems and keep them safe.
<Zelda>	Oh?
*	Eldin seems shocked.
*	Sephiroth eats TYPOES for breakfast.
<Eldin>	Wait... that gem....
<Eldin>	It protected the Triforce... in the past, 20 years ago....
<Eldin>	Was that Poe an Interloper?!
*	Sephiroth head-scratch.
<DM>	(It mentioned being an Interloper twice)
<DM>	(once when it appeared, once as it died)
<Sephiroth>	"... It mentioned being an interloper twice. ... Once when it revealed itself, and once upon its demise."
<Zelda>	... then... that Crystallized Poe...
<Zelda>	... it may be an Interloper as well.
*	Eldin yells to the ceiling suddenly.
<Eldin>	YOU DAMN GODDESSES, DO YOU JOB CORRECTLY!
*	Zelda ignores Eldin's banter, though there's a clear look of disdain on her face.
<Zelda>	Thank you for bringing this news to me.
<Zelda>	I'll ask the Kokiri to see if they can track the Poe down. When they do, can I ask of your assistance again in neutralizing?
<DM>	*neutralizing it
<Sephiroth>	"Sure."
<Gurloz>	"Sure."
<Monroe>	Count me. I'm always good fer Poe Hunting.
*	Zelda smiles lightly.
<Zelda>	I thank you all for your service to Hyrule.
*	Zelda kicks Eldin in the shin lightly.
<Eldin>	Ack!
<DM>	*There's an electric ZAP with her kick. Seems her Smash skills have transferred over to ZURPG. Don't mess with Zelda.*
*	Eldin bows to the three of you.
<Eldin>	... thanks.
*	Gurloz bows in return.
*	Sephiroth bows in return.
<Zelda>	I'll have Eldin transfer some items to you all later. You'll do that, right, Eldin?
<Eldin>	What? I'm not letting these weaklings have any of my-
<Zelda>	Right, cousin Eldin?
<Eldin>	. . . fine.
<Eldin>	... come to my office in the morning. I'll get you all something from my armory. ... if you'll excuse us, I need to-
<Zelda>	No, I think I'm going to go for a walk, once in a wihle. You can talk to me later about that issue, Eldin, when you've cooled your head.
<Zelda>	If you'll leave the room, please...
<Monroe>	As yer w-wish, m'lady...
*	Monroe backs on outta the room.
*	Eldin steps out of the room, stomping his way out.
*	Sephiroth bows to Zelda and exits, stage right.
*	Gurloz bows to Zelda and exits, stage left.
*	Zelda exits the Throne Room, stage center...... wait what.
<DM>	*The door naturally closes behind her, locking with magical forces with a loud slam. The princess walks on down, away from the Throne Room and down the stairs. As she leaves, you can hear her humming a tune.... your characters don't recognize it, but you, as the players, recognize it as the Legend of Zelda theme.*
<Monroe>	Back to me shop, then. See ya folks later!
*	Monroe pats you both on the back and heads out himself.
