Shadow of the Darkness, Session 4

<DM>	*Last time on ZURPG! You all descended down into the depths of El Diablo, or well, pretty close to it. You encountered more goopy Interloper blobs called Dark Masses, which seemed weak at first, but they grow in the presence of magic. As you tried to nuke one, you got ambushed by one of the Old Sheikah themselves, some Sheikah man that I didn't describe more than "mysterious robed figured that wasn't actually robed for once". He's
<DM>	using the Golden Gauntlets, aka he's One Punch Man. He taunted you as you all went down. There was also some thing with this teal glitter along the way, and ever since then, Impa's been a bit out of control. You party split, dividing into Sheikah and Racists, fought some Reaper Poes on the way, finally got to the bottom, and...
<DM>	*... found Garunoff nearing his revival, as he's sucking in the souls of some nearby Sheikah prisoners. And now you're about to get ganked by an actual non-goopy Interloper called Death Sword. Which, I botched his description last time, I'mma fix that this quest.

<DM>	*From the fading darkness, more of those Dark Masses appear.
<DM>	*Combined with the two from before, there's now 5 of these suckers. Though, there appears to be an odd discoloration on one of them...
<DM>	*Attached to the side of one of the dark masses, closest to Death Sword, appears to be...... wait, is that a lizard?!
<Hal>	(do we start rolling actions now?)
<DM>	(let the Dex do his thing first)

*	Dex goes for a sneaky Eyegouger eye gouge on the weird death guy.
<Dex>	EFFECT: This attack does absolutely nothing to a target without eyes.
<Dex>	Roll your Courage dice vs. targets' Courage dice
<Dex>	    Neutral Damage: 5
<Dex>	    EFFECT 1: The force from the magical energy enables you to literally rip out both of the target's eyes.
<Dex>	        Target loses depth perception, so they lose 3 Attack Dice & Defense Dice.
<Dex>	        Target also becomes Blinded:
<Dex>	            When target does any action that does not target themselves, they roll $1d3. If it is a 1, they automatically miss.
<Dex>	        DURATION: These effects last until the target is healed back to full Hearts, which will regenerate the target's eyes.
<DM>	*The rest of you look up and see your old friend Dex spontaneously appearing out of seemingly nowhere and jumping up to rip out the Great Interloper's eyes. He succeeds, getting point blank as Impa enchants Dex's eyegouger with the power of flames at the last moment, giving him a powerful boost, as he rips out its ghostly eyes!
<Dex>	    EFFECT 2: Additionally, the eyes are added to your War Necklace.
<Dex>	$1d10
<Navi>	Dex: You rolled 1 Die with 10 Sides. Result: 5. Successes: 1.

*	Darte is now suspicious that Dex has been down here instigating the entire adventure all along
<DM>	[Impa]: Dex, where did you come from?!
<Kirran>	I stopped asking that a long time ago boss.
<DM>	[Death Sword]: GAAAAAHHHHHHH! MY EYES!
<Dex>	15h 9mp |impa buff 3wc
*	Hal just does not question Dex
<Dex>	I CAME FROM A LAND DOWN UNDER
<Kirran>	Don't suppose you brought along your merc army Dex?
<DM>	*The Old Sheikah leader speaks up.
<Dex>	I brought along an asswhuppin for this chump!
<DM>	[Uroh]: Death Sword, I thought you said you're bringing allies specifically from the Twilight Realm, where only your associates are from! How did this mongrel lizard get in?!
<DM>	*Okay, and now to nutshell the battle and the situation.
<DM>	*Your merry band of 5 is up against:
<DM>	*Death Sword - that 'Great' Interloper who just got surprise eyegouge'd by Dex
<DM>	*Uroh - leader of the Old Sheikah, with the One-Punch Man style Golden Gauntlets. He's also got a weird mirror fragment on his head, covering where the Eye of Truth symbol should be.
<Kirran>	(Aka: Suuuuper Slaaaam)
<DM>	*Namuk - the other Old Sheikah. He's hiding behind all the Dark Masses.
<Dex>	HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
<DM>	*Dark Masses - there's 5 of these, and as you well know, while they start weak, every time you cast magic (including Dex's Eyegouge he just used), they will grow in strength.
<DM>	*Garunoff - that large spirit in the middle of the coliseum area you're fighting in. He's supposedly close to revival, and you can see the energies of some nearby Sheikah prisoners being sucked into him.
<DM>	*Oh, and let's not forget - take too long, and there's a chance Bloodwind could crash the party.
<Kirran>	(Start the Bloodwind timer)
<DM>	*Impa tosses Rokan's Lance back to Kirran.
<Darte>	(ZA WARUDO style)
*	Kirran catches it.
<DM>	*She pulls out her naginata again.
<Kirran>	Hope that helped boss.
<DM>	[Impa]: It did for the time being. Let's take them down!
<Hal>	Alright
<DM>	*Okay, so everyone roll your initiatives, but just use 1d#, I'm running this as round-based, not turn-based. I'm just checking for bonus turns.

<Navi>	Round 1: Roundy and Round
<DM>	*Round 1 begins! By the way, combo attacks are completely allowed, but beware, it won't necessarily work as well as you want every single time. Then again...... Dex is here.
<DM>	[Death Sword]: Lizard! You will PAY for that! ........ where he go.
*	Kirran slips away from the battle momentarily.
<DM>	[Uroh]: Death Sword, return to the Twilight Realm for now, heal your eyes and return.
<Dex>	Yeah run you coward!
*	Kirran uses the Poe Whistle in an area removed from the immediate danger.
<DM>	*The large figure stabs his cursed sword into the ground, swallowing him in a vat of darkness. The next moment you know, he's gone.
*	Hal readies his wand, holding it out while keeping his shield out
<DM>	[Uroh]: Playing music to ease your despair? Namuk, cast some spells so Dark Mass can launch an attack.
<DM>	*The other Sheikah silently casts Steel Shadows and Shadow Speed on Uroh, giving him +5 Power and Courage. More magic for the Dark Masses!
<Hal>	Anyone want to join me in this magic attack?
<DM>	*Meanwhile, Kirran finishes his tune, and suddenly, in the corner of the coliseum, Shady and his shop appear in a puff of smoke!
<DM>	[Shady]: HELLO LITTLE CHILDREN AND WELCOME TO MY........ ...........
<DM>	*He looks around and sees the screwed situation.
<Kirran>	You might want to keep it down a little bit
<DM>	[Shady]: Oh what f- DIDN'T I TELL YOU FOLKS NOT TO SUMMON ME DIRECTLY INTO A BATTLE?!
<DM>	*Too late.
*	Kirran facepalms
<DM>	*As Dark Masses grow in strength, Uroh looks in your direction and sees Shady and his shop.
<DM>	[Uroh]: Really? You brought that sad excuse of a Poe in here?
<Kirran>	Shady, I need a favor, and I need it quick.
<DM>	[Shady]: You got 5 seconds before I wrap up shop, throw it at that guy and teleport out.
<Kirran>	I need to get Dex's merc army here, because the fate of Hyrule depends on it. Can you open a portal there and move them here?
<DM>	Dark Masses: ??h, 21m thus far
<DM>	[Shady]: Kid, they're bandits. You folks are gonna need to put in a LOT of money for that to work.
<Kirran>	Does 11k rupees sound like enough?
<DM>	[Shady]: I get 1000, and done!
<Kirran>	Deal
<Darte>	"I can chip in on a deal like that!"
<DM>	*Shady takes the money, annnnnd he opens up a portal, closes up shop, tosses it in, and then disappears through the portal. You hear him cackling: "I'M RICH, SUCKERS!"*
<Darte>	...
<Darte>	"Screw that deal."
<DM>	[Uroh]: Dark Masses, take out the Sheikah on the side.
<DM>	*Dark Masses aim at Kirran!

<DM>	*You appear to not see either of the Old Sheikahs anywhere...
*	Hal walks up to Impa, channeling a small cantrip of his spirt and projects it to Impa.

<Hal>	    RESTRICTIONS: This is an Innate Skill. Only Haddaken can learn and use this skill.

<DM>	*Impa looks at the situation, and sees the clear path. She grips her weapon tightly, but doesn't move.
<Hal>	Alright.
<Kirran>	(stepping out briefly, back in two)

<Kirran>	(Back)
<DM>	*Alrighty, Dex, now that you're in Spirit Mode, here's what you see:

<DM>	$endturn
<Navi>	Round 1 Over!
<Navi>	Round 2: Roundy and Round
<Kirran>	(Dex can see the turn order?)
<DM>	*Dex, you see the souls of the Sheikah prisoners are almost entirely drained into Garunoff.
<Dex>	I can see your thoughts!
<Dex>	I also see that the prisoners are almost out of soul juice. We might wanna save them.
<DM>	*You also see two souls from inside that Dark Mass. You're not sure what's causing that.
<Dex>	Also also: Two souls inside the Dark Mass.
<Dex>	Probably the old buggers.
<DM>	*Also, near where your body is, a void of darkness appears, and back from the Twilight Realm appears Death Sword, back with his sword and his eyes.
<Dex>	THAT SON OF A BITCH
<DM>	*Courtesies of you saying that, and you didn't move from your body much either..
<DM>	*Death Sword turns and looks directly at your body.
<DM>	*Despite it being camouflaged in darkness, well..... uhhh....... yeah I shouldn't need to explain this one.
*	Hal Covers Dex' body.
<Darte>	"Jeepers, Creepers, where'd you put my peepers?"

<Dex>	Dunno who that is, but check this sweet sword.
<Dex>	Hopped up on possibly maybe what I hope is twilight powers AND a spiffy new sword.

<Dex>	Nice to see you got your eyes back so you can see where I'm going to shove this sword.
<DM>	*You hear a muffled voice from within the Dark Masses.
<DM>	[Uroh]: YOU were the one that brought that darned lizard in! YOU take care of him!
<DM>	*Dex, the following spells are available for use:
<DM>	 - Displace
<DM>	 - Reverse Polarity

<DM>	*Namuk's attack just completely obliterates you, one-shotting you as you implode momentarily before an explosion sends you flying out of the inside of the Dark Mass. Your body lands in the upper section of the coliseum's walls, pretty much just getting you planted in the wall.
<DM>	[Namuk]: Serves him right!
<FlatFish>	(Welcome to the club)
*	Dex stands up. Still holding the mirror thing.
<Dex>	Fairy in a bottle bitches.

<DM>	*Just then, Dark Mass suffers a massive backlash from all the magic it's ever absorbed!
<Kirran>	0_O
<DM>	*Half of it just combusts, launching its shadowy guts everywhere.

<Dex>	GOOD OLE WALTER AND FINGERS MCGEE

<FlatFish>	(3 Hearts?)

<FlatFish>	16h9m | Fareed's Fin (+3 DD)
<DM>	*Darte, you're back at full health!
<Dex>	Damn it all.
<DM>	[Death Sword]: Darn, that lance hit from earlier took too much of Garunoff's spirit away.
<Dex>	Well maybe if whatever brings Bob back also brings them back.
<DM>	[Death Sword]: I need more corpses to finish him.
<Dex>	Also I got their stupid mirror.
<Dex>	Also I'm going to kill Death Sword and mount his head on a pike.
<Dex>	Write that down on my To Do list please Doc.
<DM>	[Uroh]: Well if you didn't bring that STUPID LIZARD back, we wouldn't be in this problem, would we?!
<DM>	[Doc Luggins]: Already on it! ....... how do I write?

<Dex>	ALSO SORRY UROH I CANT HEAR YOU OVER THIS MIRROR THING I STOLE FROM YOU

<Dex>	COULD YOU SPEEK A LITTLE LOUDER
<DM>	[Uroh]: WHAT?!
<DM>	*Death Sword slices through the Dark Mass again, slicing through Namuk and sending HIS soul into Garunoff.
<Kirran>	(Can I reflect THAT?)
<DM>	[Death Sword]: He was already on the brink of death. Sacrifices must be made for the greater good, Uroh.
*	Dex hangs the mirror shard on his war necklace.
<DM>	*Excellent, you've adorned the mirror shard.
<DM>	*Uroh noticeably shakes his gauntlets for a bit, but just then...
<DM>	*A powerful spiritual shockwave explodes outwards from Garunoff's spirit. It holds you all in place.
<DM>	[Raine]: *back from silence* Oh hoh hoh hoh, that Garunoff fellow may not be my master, but with THAT power, he's something close to it!
<DM>	*Dex, you find yourself shielded from the shockwave, thanks to that awesome mirror fragment.
<FreshFish>	"What, you think Kirran here's lost his edge?"
<FreshFish>	"He still shops at Hot Topic!"
<DM>	[Raine]: Oh no, I don't mean that, I was referring to THE master!
<DM>	*She cackles a bit from within the bottle, then goes back to eating cheesecake.
<DM>	*Garunoff's body fully materializes finally. He's.... actually about the same size as you all now, despite his spirit supposedly being huge.
<Hal>	(What did I miss?)
<DM>	*The old Gerudo king returns.
<DM>	(You were frozen but somehow magically revived Darte)
<Dex>	i drank pure elemental light and dark
<DM>	*Shenanigans happened.
<Dex>	then i stole the mirror thing from the boss
<Dex>	then i died
<DM>	[Garunoff]: Ah finally, I have... returned.
<Hal>	(Stats on everyone?)
<Kirran>	Dammit
*	Kirran is enraged.
<DM>	*He holds both of his hands out. Two massive wide claymores appear from both hands. See these - http://imgur.com/vH7PorU

<DM>	(yep)
<DM>	Death Sword: ???h, ???m || His shadow seems to be smaller than earlier though...
<DM>	Grunts: Kinda wounded, 2 dead, half of them still eating bait.
<DM>	Garunoff: Finally revived, courtesies to sacrificing Namuk
<Hal>	14h 17m | +9 Courage | +5 Attack Dice with Wand | Dark Curse?
<DM>	*Yep, Dark Curse is still on you.
<DM>	*It is not on Darte though, since he died....... twice.
<Hal>	(Did people find out its effect?)
<DM>	(It yoinked their souls to Garunoff, bringing him closer to revival. Namuk's soul sealed the deal.)
<DM>	[Impa]: I'm almost glad he's out of spirit form and we can hit him now.
<Hal>	(So Darte lost his soul?)
<Kirran>	(Did I at least save the Sheikah?)
<DM>	(Darte is back)
<DM>	(Nope, Namuk went bye bye, he had only 1 hearth left anyways)
<Kirran>	(I was referring to the prisoners.)
<DM>	*The Sheikah prisoners are off to the side, almost dead, but still just barely alive. They seem rather deprived though. It's unlikely any healing abilities would bring them back immediately.
<DM>	[Death Sword]: I've been here too long. Now that Garunoff is fully revived, I can bring the Reapers back. I shall return when my power is restored. Serve your master well, Uroh, and your dream shall be realized.
<DM>	*He begins to dissolve into his own shadow.

<DM>	*Your cursed sword attack lands directly on Death Sword's face, seemingly cutting him in half, only for the darkness from the dark curse cut to transfer to his shadow, enlarging it back to partially how it was.
<DM>	*He laughs as he disappears
<DM>	[Death Sword]: Thanks to you, I shall return sooner!
<DM>	*He vanishes.
<Dex>	YEAH WELL THAT JUST MEANS I CAN KICK YOUR ASS FASTER
