Battle Over the Domain - Session 5-1

<DM>	--==SESSION START==--
<DM>	*You enter a large cavern, dominated by what appears to be a spiralling mass of madness. Around appears to be lots of coral and plenty of Biri and bubbles float around to protect Stella and Merle who are also floating about*
*	Darte has exited the Biri and is growling at the two.  "Great.  Where are they gonna retreat to..."
*	Darte scans the room for exits.
<DM>	*Suddenly, the water begins rumbling. Almost as if the cavern is shaking. Darte, you sense a disturbance on the Spirit Plane*
<DM>	*Almost as if it is a stream filled with life...*
<Nigel>	(i didn't know water can rumble)
<DM>	*FYI Darte, there are five exits. One directly down below which appears to lead to a void, another behind you, another at the other end of the room and two more going from the roof*
<DM>	*The water stops rumbling as a brilliant stream of light spontaneously appears. From within this stream of light appears to be a familiar figure...*
<DM>	*The light fades and Sephiroth's figure becomes clearly visible. Armed with his new power, he exudes an aura of sheer power and dread*
*	Sephiroth apparently makes a blinding entrance...
<DM>	[Stella] Gah! Sephiroth!
<DM>	[Stella] Nobody is gonna catch us now! Eat this!
<DM>	*Stella unleashes her charge, triggering a large tremor which echoed across the room*
<DM>	*ENTOMB!*
*	Darte swims away from the newcomer, not sure what to expect.  A Keaton come to finish the job?

<Darte>	(Probably doesn't work too well if there isn't a concrete target to be struck)
<Darte>	(Though...)
<Darte>	(Icicle Blade? Is the entrance narrow enough to be blocked by a spar of ice?)
<DM>	(No)
<DM>	(But you can try freezing Merle. Remember what happened to Baegba?)

<Darte>	...........
<DM>	*ALLMOST A COUNTERATTACK*
<DM>	*The blast of glacial ice breezes past Merle as well and into the exit, appearing to hit something as crashed
<DM>	*Meanwhile Merle swims off into the sunset err void with Stella in tow*
<DM>	$init r
<Navi>	DM: The bot has been reset.
*	Sephiroth sets off in pursuit of Stella & Merle.
<Nigel>	7h, 1m | Blinded | Regen x2 | Immobilized
*	Darte drifts slowly through the water, biting off a stream of watery curses.  "Who are you and why'd you have to come in here and wreck everything? I had 'em before you started flinging spells around!"
<DM>	*Sephiroth, thanks to your one wing, you break out of your rocky prison and "fly" through the water like a penguin would.
<DM>	*Nigel, you feel your Smashboard resonate with the light as a coin bearing Shady's image appeared on it*
*	Nigel downs a restoration heart to bring himself back at 13 hearts
<Sephiroth>	34h, 15m | Shady's Robe Augmented
<DM>	*It appears Shady is trying to tell Nigel that his Smashboard can be evolved*
<Nigel>	"Eh? Who? What? Where?"
*	Nigel is clearly confused.
<DM>	[???] "HEY ALL, LITTLE CHILDREN!"
*	Darte quaffs a green potion.
<DM>	[???] "It is I, Shady! I am here bringing news. I've sensed that Nigel's lovely Smashboard can do with a quick touch up. Maybe add in a sharp edge, maybe take a sword or maybe break the game harder? Its your call"
*	Nigel does the velociraptor thinking pose, somewhat confused but intrigued.
<Darte>	"Well, sounds like a deal to me.  We need all the help we can muster up, even if it is from... that thing."
<DM>	*Meanwhile Sephiroth, you swim. Because they are so slow, you would expect to have caught up with them by now. But apparently you haven't. Looks like they have a faster way of moving*
<Nigel>	"... Will it involve any more scales?"
*	Sephiroth scratches his head as he continues flwimming through the water.
<DM>	[Shady] "More scales? Not yours of course, Teehee. Zora scales will do just fine. Heck, even the scales from Zora Armor found in the Global Shop will do"
<DM>	*^_^*
<Nigel>	"Huh, neat."
*	Darte considers this as well, bumping up against a nearby wall.  "Well, I might be able to loan some of mine..."
<DM>	[Shady] "o_O Oh, there is no need to harm yourself to do this. Just a Blue Mail will do."
<DM>	*The Global Shop opens up for a moment and spits out a Blue Tunic before closing again*
<Darte>	"... Convenient."
*	Nigel was about to say something, but then sees the blue tunic pop out.
<Nigel>	"... Oh."
<Nigel>	"... What were we talking about again?"
<DM>	[Shady] "Now, Darte. Can I ask you a little favor? ^_^"
*	Nigel has already forgotten what this lovely conversation was about.
*	Darte2 (~user@c-24-22-245-13.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined
<Darte>	"... What's that?"
<DM>	[Shady] "This teensy little favor... can you spare a Zora Blade? I've got the perfect idea for what I can do with it"
<Nigel>	"... I have no clue what is going on anymore."
<Darte>	Darte winces, considering the blades he's got on hand.  "The... blade, is it? ... So long as it's part of what you're doing for Nigel."
<DM>	[Shady] "No need to dread! I'm gonna be combining the Blue Tunic and Zora Blade with Nigel's Smashboard"
<Darte>	"That... oookay.  I'm gonna assume that makes sense in your head.  Go for it, but we're coming after you if you get us all killed."
<DM>	[Shady] "Thanks a million! This is gonna be fantastic and you know it!"
<Nigel>	"Does it involve somehow going into walls?"
<DM>	*The coin lights up and pulls the Zora Blade and Blue Tunic towards the Splashboard as Shady momentairly materializes and messes around with the three items; taking them apart and putting various components back together until the three items are combined.*
<DM>	[Shady] Here! This is your new Smashboard!
<DM>	^_^
<DM>	(Nigel, check your PMs)
*	Nigel looks at it a bit.
*	Nigel shrugs and takes/equips it.
<DM>	[Shady] And that will be all for today! See you all good sir next time at the Global Shop!
<DM>	*Shady unmaterializes*
<Nigel>	"... Weird fellow."
<Darte>	"... No choice but to trust him.  Hope it was worth it."
*	Darte tests his legs for mobility.
<DM>	*Darte, you can now move*
<DM>	*So can you Nigel*
<DM>	*Nigel, do you opt to surf through the water?*
*	Nigel attempts to surf through the water to test the new smashboard out.
<Nigel>	"Where to, now?"
<DM>	*Nigel, you place your feet on the smashboard and suddenly, you surf through the water; almost at normal land running speed (note: Normal, not Lizalfols)
<DM>	*You can choose to surf ahead to where Sephiroth is and to catch up to the enemies*
<Darte>	"We can try and play catch-up, or lay an ambush if we find another memory they're after."
<Nigel>	"Hrmm..."
<DM>	*Darte, you recall that they wanted to get out of the dream*
<DM>	*Meanwhile Sephiroth...*
<DM>	*You make it to a long straight. You see the two fleeing bosses in sight; hookshotting across the walls to augment their movement and outpace you.*
*	Sephiroth proceeds to mimic the two fleeing bosses using his Longshot.
<DM>	*Sephiroth, you use the longshot to take faster strides in an effort to reach them*
*	Disconnected ()

*	Topic for #zurpg set by DM (Sun Aug 28 08~~ 2016)
<DM>	(Darte and Nigel, what are ya gonna do?)
<Darte>	(I take it we can't see them by now except by Spiritcam?)
<DM>	(Yes)
*	Darte shakes his head.  "I'd say chase 'em, but they're moving fast.  Even with that board of yours, we're probably not catching up, especially if they take a fork. Let's head back up to the surface and try to cut them off from the blowhole."
<DM>	*PARTY SPLIT*
<Nigel>	"Got it."
<Nigel>	"... What about the Goron?"
<Darte>	"... We can scoop him up and haul him along by hookshot."
<Darte>	"Worst case, that icecube of his will make a useful plug."
<Nigel>	"Got it."
<DM>	*Sephiroth, join #ZURPG2*
*	Sephiroth is already there.
*	Darte swims back to pick up the goroncube and drag him along, returning to the room with the poisoned memory and taking one of the upper tunnels.
*	Nigel follows the Darte.
<Nigel>	13h, 1m
<DM>	*You all eventually make it back up to the top of the Blowhole. They aren't there yet, but you can see their souls and that of Sephiroth combatting them moving closer and closer to the top*
<Darte>	(And here I was worried we'd gotten ourselves in trouble not just going back the way we came)
<Nigel>	(quick brb)
*	Darte floats Baegba to the base of the blowhole, then uses more Glacial Ice to try and create a nice Goron seal across it. (Viable?)
<DM>	(Yes)
<Darte>	(Excellent.  One cast or multiple required?)
<Nigel>	(back)
<DM>	*Due to the size, only one cast is needed... for now. It might get dislodged or something*
*	Darte uses a second coat for good measure, adhering the ice along the inner lining of the cavern.  He then casts Sponge on Nigel, Block on himself, and lastly chugs a Chateau Romani.
<Darte>	(assuming there's time, etc. etc.)
<DM>	(There is time)
<Darte>	"Right.  Anything you need, Nigel? We can't afford to let 'em slip, and we might have 'em cornered."
*	Nigel downs a green potion
<Nigel>	13h, 8m | Shield
<Nigel>	"Hmmm..."
*	Nigel flips through his spell list for a bit.
<Nigel>	"I'm good."
<DM>	*You see that they are almost back up*
*	Darte nods, and motions Nigel towards his nearest guess based on their spirit locations.  "Get on either side of the tunnel they're coming from."
*	Nigel follows towards where Darte is motioning.
*	Darte prepares for a surprise attack when they emerge.
*	Nigel also prepares for a bonking.
<DM>	*Suddenly, you can hear something strike the ice*
<DM>	$30d10
<Navi>	DM: You rolled 30 Dice with 10 Sides. Results: 8, 4, 7, 8, 1, 4, 7, 4, 7, 5, 2, 2, 1, 2, 8, 8, 5, 7, 8, 7, 7, 2, 10, 9, 5, 2, 4, 5, 3 and 8. Total: 160. Successes: 19.
<DM>	*The first ice coat shatters*
<DM>	[Stella] BARRIER BREAKER!
*	Darte winces, but holds position.  "... They must know what's going on.  Or something's coming in from above."
<DM>	*You feel a giant spike strike the ice, sending the ice cube containing Baegba flying out and into the ocean beside the whale*
<DM>	*Suddenly, you see Stella and Merle swim up to the surface, jumping out of the water
*	Darte2 has quit (Quit: experiment finished for now)
<Sephiroth>	34h, 20m | Shady's Robe Augmented | 2 actions charged...
<Darte>	(To clarify, the aim was to seal the inside of the blowhole and remain on the inside)
<Darte>	(Might be too little, too late, though)
<DM>	(You were a bit late to fully seal it)
<Darte>	(So they flew past us and up the blowhole?)
<DM>	(Yes)
*	Sephiroth chases after Stella and Merle.
<DM>	(However, they need some time to escape)
<DM>	(You still have time to catch them)
*	Darte curses and gives chase after the three.  "So much for that."
*	Nigel follows the rest.
<Nigel>	"Drat."
<DM>	*You all appear to float adrift on the back of what appears to be massive whale, easily 300 feet long, crusing along the surface. All around you is an ocean of water, stretching as far as the eye can see. The horizon is dominated by an inky blackness dotted with small specks of white. A large crest with what appears to be a series of valves and pearls can be seen towards the front and what appears to be a blowhole just past.*
<DM>	*Now that you are all up, it's time to engage in battle*

<DM>	[Merle] "It will only be a matter of time until we finally escape."
<DM>	[Stella] "Idiot. Do you think they will just give us the time to escape with?"
*	Sephiroth charges a third action, then unleashes Heartless Angel upon Merle and Stella.
<Sephiroth>	Once charged, you can extinguish the spirit of your sword. After a brief pause, all of your enemies go up in an explosive massacre brimming with destructive flames.

<DM>	[Stella] King Thoughter, avenge me!
<DM>	*Stella, in desperation, attempts to play the Ballad of the Windfish*
*	Darte casts an illusion of sound to make it seem like the ballad is out of tune.
<DM>	*But before she could, her arms started to shrivel up and die; her armor constricting around her*
<Darte>	(Well, that works too)
<DM>	[Stella] Noo...
<DM>	[Stella] NOOO!!!
<DM>	*Before long, her entire body had wrinkled and shrivelled up into a crumpled mess before she crumbled into dust and madness. Happy Masked Man briefly teleported in to pick up her remains before teleporting back out*
<Darte>	(O_O)
<Darte>	(Does that count as a kill for the 'free Reap', or is that no-go with the remains whisked away?)
<Nigel>	"... Well then."
<DM>	(Yes, it counts as a kill for the free reap)
<Sephiroth>	(2 minutes)
<DM>	(Anyone want to perform an awesome finishing move on Merle?)
<Darte>	(Wanna give that smashboard+ a spin, Nigel?)
<Nigel>	(eh, dunno)
<Nigel>	(might just settle for a wavedashing bonk if i can)
<DM>	(Go for it!*
<Nigel>	(what about the barrier thing?)

<DM>	*You wavedash and bonk the Infernal Nightmare directly on the head. Thanks to the broken physics involved in wavedashing, you phase into the Infernal Nightmare and bonk Merle directly. As you bonked Merle, the destructive flames for Infernal Nightmare wrapped around your Smashboard; setting it on fire.
<DM>	*As your bonk impacted Merle, the flames spread across his head. And then his body and then his soul. The Follower of Wisdom could only manage a gasp before burning away into nothingness as his very presence was erased from existence.
<DM>	*Nigel, you remain unharmed as the fires on your smashboard goes out*
*	Darte nods in approval.  "Seems that sword was worth it."
<DM>	*Stella and Merle has dropped stuff*
<DM>	*Random item drops*
<DM>	$6d3
<Navi>	DM: You rolled 6 Dice with 3 Sides. Results: 2, 1, 1, 2, 3 and 3. Total: 12.
*	Nigel would come up with a pun involving Merle's name for his death, but has no clue how to pronounce Merle. Then again, Merle kinda doesn't really deserve a pun in his name.
<DM>	*2 of each of the following: Restoration Hearts, Magic Jars and Reroll Points, drop*
<DM>	+5,000 Rupees to each player, including Sephiroth
<DM>	+5 Stat Points to each player
<DM>	And finally, Artifact drops:
<DM>	*Nayru's Wisdom Robes, Onyxscale Wrap, Refrigerating Veil and Agahnim's Grimore all drop*
<DM>	*Also a Magic Ring drops*
<Nigel>	"Huh."
<Nigel>	"Wonder what these are."
<DM>	*You sense an deep curse lurking within the Onyxscale Wrap*
*	Darte tilts his head.  "Seems like a bunch of useful things in this mix..."
*	Darte plucks up one reroll point and one restoration heart.
<DM>	(I will be writing these at the end of the session. Especially the Refrigerating Veil)
<DM>	Refrigerating Veil, Stella's personal item
<DM>	Agahnim's Grimore. 2 Handed. Provides a flat -3 cost to Magic when held
<DM>	*equipped*

<DM>	Onyxscale Wrap. Armor, requires Shadow Affinity, +10 Hearts, +5 Magic, grants Grave Life
<DM>	Nayru's Wisdom Robes. +2 Armor. Can expend any amount of Magic for Augmented protection to boost Armor. Can use Nayru's Wisdom to override defense to Wisdom or boost Wisdom by 5
<DM>	(Nayru's Protection costs 4 Magic_
<Darte>	(Dunno if we'll wanna split this up now since Sephiroth will want his pick of 'em, can probably resolve the selection in Discord in worst case once they're written up_
<DM>	(I'm gonna end the session here then)
<DM>	(They will all be posted by the time he gets to pick)
*	Nigel wonders where the baegbacube went.
*	Darte looks at the Baegbacube bobbing in the ocean.  "Wonder how long it'll take him to thaw..."
<Nigel>	"Yup..."
<Nigel>	"... There's also those corrupted memories..."
<DM>	*Lying on the ground you can see an instrument*
<DM>	*Darte, the instrument resonates with the Surf Harp you have*
<Darte>	"Yeah, hoping we can do something about that.  I don't wanna know what would happen if Lord Jabu-Jabu woke with those in place."
*	Darte inspects the instrument, presumably the one Stella had been using.
<DM>	*The instrument appears to be the Fullmoon Cello; the instrument which Ramsey was given all the way back at the time you saved Mima from her nightmare*
*	Darte lifts the instrument, pondering, then holding it out for Nigel to see. "Hmmm.  Another of these.  You need one, friend?"
<Nigel>	"Never seen this specific one before."
<Nigel>	"I mean, if nobody else needs one, I'll take it."
*	Darte shrugs.  "Can't hurt to have another around.  Who knows where else they're using dreams, and it's either you or Baegba; between you and me, I doubt he's musically inclined..."
<Nigel>	"Now that you mention it......."
<Nigel>	"Sure, I'll take it... Not that I know a thing about these things..."
<DM>	(Looks like that's now three Sirens' Instruments among the party.
*	Darte ponders.  "Can show you a few things, though mine's plucked, not bowed."
<DM>	(Gonna end session right about now)
<Nigel>	(kay)
<Darte>	(Sounds good, round place to stop I think; gonna want Baegba and Sephiroth starting here, I'd guess)
<DM>	(Yup)
