Nayru United, Session 2

 <DM> *LAST TIME ON ZEE YOU ARE PEE JEE!- okay I'm not saying it that way ever again
<DM> *Trying to find and collect all 151 Pokemon- I mean all 5 Nayru's Love Shards, you went to Ikana Valley, where supposedly the Crystalline Poe and the last Shard were. Together with Strife, and 10 frigin' rounds later, you defeated the great boss.
<DM> *Once it was a soul, you were then again to communicate with it, finding out someone was controlling the Poe, and there's apparently a curse seeded deep within the shards. With Strife, the two of you head into the Stone Tower Temple, where, in theory... the answers await within.
<DM> -=SESSION STARTO=-
<DM> *You tumble through the darkness for a bit, the echoes of your footsteps gradually coming to a stop. Suddenly, the ground shakes underneath, and two slabs of stone ahead of you separate to bring forth the great light!
* Sephiroth is suddenly blinded by plot.

<DM> *Ahead, the first room, a box of ancient, dusty bricks, illuminated by some scattered torches among some rubble. The room isn't exactly in the greatest shape, it would seem.
* Sephiroth enters the ancient room.
<DM> *On the far side, a locked door. You see a large crate in the middle of the room, easily 5 times your size, doubt you move it. There's a blue switch nearby. On the ceiling directly above the crate, there appears to be a floor switch.... except I suppose it's more like a ceiling switch.
<DM> [Strife]: Hey, it's a box that can contain my senility!
<DM> *Note, the ceiling is 30 feet up.
* Sephiroth face-palms as he approaches the blue switch.
<DM> [Strife]: How do you do this face-palm thing all the time? I see no palm trees around...
<DM> *Blue switch is on the floor. Looks like a crystal of some sort, implanted into the ground. Try hitting it, perhaps?
* Sephiroth pokes the blue switch.
<DM> *The blue switch is offended, but it turns orange. Suddenly, the gravity in the room flips! The crate falls towards the ceiling, landing on the ceiling/floor/whatever switch, unlocking the door ahead. Unfortunately..... you guys aren't exactly immune to fall damage. Roll Courage vs. 30 successes each!

<DM> *Strife lands and breaks his legs. No worries, his senility can carry him up!
<DM> *Sephiroth, since you were next to the crate, you use it to break your fall, only taking 2 Neutral Damage instead of 12.
<DM> [Strife]: Holy friggidity, are ye tryin' ta kill me?!
<DM> [Strife]: THAT'S NOT HOW FISICS WORKS!

<DM> *He hardly hears how you did that, but given he doesn't know how to physics, his ear can't tell the difference.
<DM> *The two of you longshot to the door, incidentally kicking it open in the process. You find yourself flipping once more upon entering, dropping 1 foot to the floor. No worries, fall damage only applies to drops higher than 5 feet.
<DM> [Strife]: Ack, me ear! I kin 'ardly 'ear!
* Sephiroth stands up and dusts himself off.
<DM> *Next room, it's a similar setup, same ceiling height. Heavy crate of doom on the floor, blue crystal switch on the floor next to it, ceiling switch above the crate, and sealed door on the other side. However, in one corner of the room, on the ceiling, there's also a smaller ceiling switch and a hookshot post.
<DM> *There is also two white-robed figures in the room. They turn to look at you and immediately draw their weapons.
<DM> [Brute]: Hey, you dere, you ain't s'pose ta be 'ere! Me thoughts da big Poe minion we subs-jugated was s'pose ta be blockin' da entrance!
<DM> *You notice both of them have triforce symbols on their robes, the top-most triangle being blue. Also, both of these Hylian fellows have yellow eyes. Hmm, sounds familiar...
<Sephiroth> So what if it was?
<DM> [Brute]: Err... uhhh... YE SHOULDA... UHHH... ASKED FER ITS... PERSIMMONS
<DM> *The other one with a big tower shield speaks up.
<DM> [Defender]: Dat's permissions ya big dolt!
<Sephiroth> Persimmons? Where? They're tasty.

<DM> [Strife]: Hey, look, they serve jello here!
<DM> $init r
<Navi> DM: The bot has been reset.
<DM> *Hmm, technically all their items drop, not sure they'd be any good since they're pretty much inferior to your current loadout.
<DM> *Strife does proceed to yoink one of the Enlightened Robes though.

<DM> *An additional 237 Rupees for each of you, and restore to full health and magic each!
<DM> [Strife]: Ah sure do hope I can hit me some shady's and get sum shades sometime in 'ere...
<DM> *So, with the switch being on blue right now, the crate is not on ceiling switch, and hence the door is locked.
<DM> *It is also still metal-plated.
* Sephiroth proceeds to longshot the hookshot target then poke that nearby switch...
<DM> *Strife tries to lick the jello on the floor, but it's not strawberry flavor.
<DM> *In the time it takes Sephiroth to longshot the target, then walk is way over to poke the switch, then chain back to the target (I assume that's how that works?), Strife fumbles over to his hookshot and hits the target, chaining himself to safety.
<DM> *Gravity flips, the crate lands on the ceiling switch, and the door becomes unsealed! Still got a metal plating over it though...
<DM> *Whoops, backtrack.
* Sephiroth was poking the switch by the hookshot target, not in the middle of the room.
<DM> *Blue switch near crate, door still sealed. However, by poking the switch next to the hookshot target, you see the metal plating on the door slide away. Though, it immediately reslides back once the poke wears off.
<DM> [Strife]: Hmm... that's slightly tricky. Need somefin' to hold down the switch o'er here...
<DM> [Strife]: Wait, I got it, I'll use my sanity!
<DM> *Strife then attempts to grab his mind (what), and place it on the switch. Unfortunately, he is unable to separate mind from head. He gives up after he remembers HE STILL CAN'T EAR.
* Sephiroth uses PSI Strike on the blue switch while still being glued to the hookshot target.
<Sephiroth> 30h, 22m
<Sephiroth> $27d10
<Navi> Sephiroth: You rolled 27 Dice with 10 Sides. Results: 4, 2, 7, 4, 10, 7, 9, 8, 4, 6, 1, 2, 4, 1, 4, 7, 1, 2, 7, 9, 1, 10, 5, 3, 8, 1 and 4. Total: 131. Successes: 14.
<DM> *Now gravity flips! Crate is on crate-switch, door is unsealed, metal plating is still in the way.
<DM> *Also, now that gravity has flipped twice since the end of the battle, jello stains appear to be on both the floor and ceiling.
<DM> [Strife]: NOW IT'S RAININ' JELLO!
<DM> *The extra equipment seems to have fallen twice over too. Maybe it's got a little weight to it?
<DM> [Strife]: It pains me to say this, BUT ONE OF US WILL HAVE TO BE LEFT BEHIND! I nominate you, Vincent Valentine! You stay on the switch!
* Sephiroth hookshots the tower shield over to himself and sets it upon the switch, then grabs Strife by the ear and longshots the door again.
<DM> *Strife is pointing at the jello.
<DM> *The tower shield does the trick, removing the metal plating, and together, the two of you longshot-kick the next door down! And, in the next room...... you immediately find yourselves falling.
<DM> *Well, wait, scratch that, you're still longshotted to the door.
<DM> *Okay, you fall for a bit, then the longshot locks and prevents you from falling further.
<DM> *Also, Strife can no longer ear on either ear.
<DM> *Looking down, it appears to be an abyss into the depths of light far below.
<DM> *Above you, there's a ceiling a short distance (only 10 feet away). There's no hookshot target, but there is a blue crystal switch.
* Sephiroth is glad his longshot is only so long...
<DM> [Strife]: Argh, I kin' hit that! If I could just...
<DM> *Strife attempts to throw his ear at it, but..... WHERE'S HIS EAR? AND HIS OTHER EAR?!
* Sephiroth sets his mind to target the blue crystal switch and uses PSI Strike on it.

<DM> *The blast of light turns the shadow to light, preventing it from hitting the switch.
<DM> *From the direction of where that blast came from, there appears to be a Wizzrobe hovering in the air, between you and the pit below. He cackles maniacally.
<DM> [???]: KYEHEHAHAHAHAHAH! NOOOOO no nooooooo no no for YOU, my silver haired FRIEND!
<DM> *He does not appear to be affected by gravity...
<DM> [???]: Welcome, my dear, DEAR friends, that is... if you assume my enthusiam is very FRIENDLY, YES YES!
<DM> [Strife]: Hey, I know my ear and my other ear is no ear to be heard from, but me thinks he might be more nutsos than me.
<DM> [Strife]: Maybe let's both try firin' spells, he can't block both!
* Sephiroth nods and tries PSI Strike again upon the switch.

<DM> *The Fira and RP are just barely enough to derail the blast of light. Past an explosion of flames, sparks, and light, a tiny shadow makes its way to the switch, changing it to orange. Gravity flips, and the two of you are able to safely descend towards the new floor.
<DM> *The crazy mage appears to fall towards you for a bit, but then just flips himself around, cackling again.
<DM> [???]: Oh-hoh, FOOLED YOU! I made sure, ABSOLUTE SURE, that I wouldn't be victim to such little TRICKERY such as that! KYEHAHAHAHAH!
<DM> *With the depths of light descending from above, it looks as though the light itself is flooding downwards, consuming what it touches.
<DM> [???]: Oops, can't stay here, too-de-loo!~
<DM> *With that, the mage floats down past the floor, which turns out to be a platform that's only connected to one wall. Around it appears to just be nothing, asides from a large wall surrounding the whole area. Though, you can't quite see what's below the platform from your current position.
<DM> [Strife]: I CAN SEE THE LIGHT! AND IT BUUUUURNS!
* Sephiroth quickly dartes towards the edge of the platform and tries to get a better view.
<DM> *You look down, and there's no Darte Fellshard, though I'm certain if there was, he would Fells Hard.
<DM> *There are a number of platforms attached to the wall, including orange crystals on each of the platforms. You don't see any hookshot targets from this view though...
<DM> *You also see the crazy mage descending further, a few platforms down. He goes too far and out of sight.
<DM> *3 platforms down is all you can see. Past that, dusty fog blocks your sight. Each platform being about 50 feet apart.
<DM> [Strife]: I DON'T WANNA DIE, I WANNA EAT JELLO, SAVE ME GRAPE JUICE SENPAI!
<DM> *If you hang from the ledge, it's not too thick, you might be able to get a view of the underside...
<DM> *The light continues to descend. Strife, if you don't move, you'll have to make a roll against it.
* Sephiroth tries to grab ahold of the platform as he goes for a hanging position over the edge.
<DM> *Alrighty, hanging on the edge, you see there is indeed a hookshot target on the underside of this platform.
<DM> [Strife]: ARE THERE ANY HOOKERS ON THAT SIDE?
* Sephiroth lets go and quickly fires his longshot at said hookshot target.
<DM> *Strife just sees you disappear.

<DM> *Strife gets to see the light. It's so beautiful, serene, and filled with jello........ waaaaaaaaaaait.
<DM> *Strife takes a hit to his sanity (even moreso than currently) and loses 3 Dice on all rolls as he is now a bit doozy.
<DM> *As a result, he trips, tumbles, and falls off the ledge, only to see Sephiroth just laughing as he hugs the hookshot target.
<DM> [Strife]: SO THAT'S WHERE YOU WERE YOU LITTLE-
<DM> *He tries to hookshot target you! Roll against...... yeah that's about 15 foot drop at this point.

<DM> *Strife just BARELY makes it to the hookshot target, pulling himself towards you.
<DM> [Strife]: Hey, didja EAR? You know...... EAR? Not hear, EAR! YOU DARN-
<DM> *His sounds are suddenly blotted out as the light descends past you. Suddenly, the switch on the next platform's ceiling turns blue, and you find yourselves on the new floor.
<DM> *The light descends back into its abyss. Strife is still doozy though.
<DM> *Nearby, on the wall, a magic circle appears. From it, you hear a voice, different from crazy mage earlier...
<DM> [???]: I see a few rats have entered my new domain. No matter, I am already close to achieving my goal. Soon, this tower will return to its original purpose, and open the gate to a realm filled with more power than even Ganon ever had!
<DM> *And, like an idiot, he's announcing his plans through it. Good lord this guy is a cocky douche.
<DM> [Strife]: Hey, we're not rats, we're withered gray hair!
<DM> [Strife]: ... that jello did not taste good earlier.
* Sephiroth just covers his face with his palm once again.
* DM transforms the hookshot target next to you into a palm tree. Now you have a palm to face!
* 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 windoze.py! OMG! «20,122»)
* DM checks out his new windows and looks out, only to find his new home is quite a Vista. A WINDOWS VISTA.

<DM> *Strife then proceeds to try and sword-whack the magic circle.

<DM> [???]: If you truly wish to reach me, you'll have to find me at the bottom of this tower! Or is it the top-

<DM> [Strife]: I didn't EAR a word he said cause WHERE'S MY EAR?!
<DM> *Looking high above towards the platforms and their crystals, you see at the far end, beyond the fog, a great blackness suddenly envelops the tower. It engulfs everything with its racism and soon, all you see is your worst nightmare...
