Battle Over the Domain - Session 4

<DM>	--==SESSION START==--
<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>	(Baegba isn't back up quite yet)
*	Darte searches for any sign of the spirits of their prey.
*	Sephiroth launches an arrow at the Darte Board.
<Nigel>	"Do we have any plans on how to approach this situation we're in or nah?"
<DM>	*Darte, looking through Spirit Vision, you can see Baegba... but his soul is being suppressed by a fragment of that Follower of Wisdom jerk's soul.
<DM>	*You also see the remainder of the Follower of Wisdom jerk's soul below him and the other soul floating about underwater.*
*	Wind (~Wind@50.111.125.79) has joined
*	Darte frowns.  "Well, looks like Baegba found trouble down there.  Given we're here to look for trouble, we might have to chase after him.  Luckily, it looks like that witch split up her forces..."
<Wind>	$recall
<Kefka>	$recall: This channel is secret; recall data cannot be accessed without Channel Voice access, Wind.
*	DM gives voice to Wind
<Wind>	$recall
*	Wind is now known as Baegba
<Nigel>	"What happens if we figure out how to electrify the water? ...Is that even a good idea?"
<Darte>	"Sounds like it might be a good way to kill Jabu-Jabu, frankly, but we can try it if we get desperate."
*	Baegba awakens, disgruntled.
<Baegba>	Oi feel loik Oi wuz a-missin' sumfern...
<Nigel>	"Maybe your death? I am not sure."
<Darte>	(Has Baegba floated back up to the surface proper?)
<DM>	*Now that a little bit of time has passed, you see Baegba float up to the surface*
<Baegba>	(how the f- oooooooh right I gravity bubbled myself)
*	Baegba pokes his head over the surface, then waves to Darte and Nigel.
<Baegba>	Oi, me founds a creepy ol' man down dere!
<Baegba>	'e wuz hostile an' stuff.
<Nigel>	"Did he cause you pain?"
*	Darte squints at Baegba, observing the soul fragment.  "Baegba, are you feeling... alright?"
<Baegba>	Well, Oi crushered 'im wit' a big ol' rock, though me thunks 'e survoived it.
<Baegba>	Why, Oi feel just o' e et er foine. Why're yer askin', Foilshard?
<Darte>	"... Just getting flashbacks from Lance, is all, I think.  You said there's someone down there, alone?"
<Baegba>	Oi, ye, 'e's uhh.... 'e's....
*	Baegba tries to think, but his memory's jumbled a bit and can't remember (I'm on laptop and can't scrollback for logs, lol).
<Baegba>	Well, lemme get on up outta da woiter first.
<Nigel>	"Do I need to bonk you in the head?"
*	Baegba puts his arms up and gravity bubbles above the surface and onto the whale.
<Nigel>	"Wait, we ARE in a dream, right?"
*	Baegba thinks.
<Baegba>	Well, Oi can confirm Oi've died in 'ere, but if it's just a dream, den dat means Oi didn't actuoilly die, Oi wuz just incapacitoited in me own mind, whoile livin' a dream in sumwun else's moind, so....
<Baegba>	....
*	Baegba blanks out for a moment, then reawakens, the thought just vanished.
<Baegba>	Wut did yew say 'gain?
*	Darte facepalms.  "Right.  Let's chase after your attacker, Baegba.  Think we can take 'em?"
*	Baegba looks at the water, then back at Darte.
<Baegba>	Well now dat we knows 'e's just in da woiter, why not just zap 'im?
<Baegba>	Oifterall, we's just in a dreamy, roight?
<Nigel>	"What if dreams are trying to tell us something?"
*	Darte groans, facepalming again.  "Zapping the inside of dream Jabu-Jabu might still hurt the real one, and I don't want to discover that too late.  What else was down there?"
<Baegba>	Uhh, err dese big slates an' stuff. An' sum mazin' pathways. Maze, not amazin'.
<Baegba>	But afore Oi could go exploirin', dat weird guy 'ttacked me. Don't 'membah much o' wot 'e looked loik.
<Nigel>	"Did he ever smirk?"
<Baegba>	Err, moiybe?
<DM>	*Darte, from Spirit Vision you see the guy that was below Baegba move towards Stella's soul.
<Baegba>	'e seemed voiry... coinfident. Yew know, wun o' dem generic evil goiys.
<Nigel>	"Yeah, something might've happened to ya."
*	Darte shakes his head.  "No time to waste, they're grouping back up.  We should hit him now while we can do so without the witch interfering."
<Nigel>	"Oh darn."
<Nigel>	11h, 0m
*	Darte looks Baegba over for wounds.  "Ready? I can get us prepared, but it'll have to be now."
<Baegba>	Err, moi thunks Oi moight need recovery...
*	Baegba scrounges around his inventory.... pretty limited on recovery pots.
*	Darte hands over a red potion.  "Nigel, you good?"
*	Baegba glugs it up.
<Baegba>	Yew gots any green wuns?
<Nigel>	"I think I might hold off on the recovery just in case, but otherwise I am good."
*	Darte hands over a green potion to Baegba as well.  "Right, then down we go."  He trots over to the blowhole and leaps down in a dive.
*	Nigel "silently" surfs on over to the blowhole, ready to drop in.
<DM>	(Reminder, anyone who is not Zora requires at least something that lets them breathe underwater.)
<Darte>	(There's those potions in the global shop right now for that, right?)
<DM>	(Yup)
<DM>	(You were also given 2 each)
<Baegba>	(right, gravity bubble doesn't protect from water)
<Nigel>	(i'm just gonna wait until i am on water, and then drink it and follow through)
*	Baegba keeps Blue Tunic + Gravity Bubble, and switches to Clawshot + Lantern.
<Baegba>	err Soul Lantern
<Baegba>	Anywun else wants floaty bubbles?
<Baegba>	(note, having one decreases your attack dice by 4, but increases defense by 4)
<Baegba>	(can be ended at any time)
<Baegba>	Oikee, me thinks me's roidy...
*	Baegba scratches his eyelids and blinks a few times.
<Baegba>	A liddle itchy, but thunk Oi's fine.
<DM>	(Everyone headed in?)
<Baegba>	(ready)
<DM>	(Darte seems to be in)
<Darte>	(blub)
<Nigel>	(ready, aside from consuming an air potion)
*	Nigel consumes an air potion and drops in.
<DM>	*You are in a large underwater cavern with a giant coral, complete with giant polyps, hanging from the ceiling. On the floor appear to be many white stalagmites sinking into what appears to be a void. There are entrances to various tunnels running into it, with chunks of white rock flowing from them.*
<DM>	*Baegba, you notice that one of the polyps are missing*
<Baegba>	Hmm, Oi coulda sworn dere wuz s'posed ta be wun more poilyp. Though, dere's a fair numbah 'ere, so maybe's me's just mis'memberin'.
<Darte>	"Hmmm.  Maze of twisty passages, all alike..."
*	Darte looks to Baegba.  "Which was missing, and where was he when you fought him?"
<DM>	*Baegba, you recall him swimming about in the upper area of the cavern and the missing polyp is the one which Darte and co pulled up to watch the memory of.*
<Baegba>	Well, 'e wuz blockin' da way back outta da blowhole...
<Baegba>	(ah, but I wouldn't actually know that, except that left via the blowho- oh)
<Baegba>	Oh yeah, dat missing one wuz da one dat left out da blowhole oilready.
*	Nigel faceclaws.
<Darte>	"Ahhh.  Maybe that's what gave us the other memory, then."
*	Darte tries to pinpoint his position by spiritcam again.
<Baegba>	(I forgot, do you still have that Spirit Gem?)
<Baegba>	(cause that's another way of wallhacking if you do)
<Darte>	(yeah)
<Darte>	(But only within a 'spirit complex'?
<Nigel>	"So, any possible directions?"
<Baegba>	(ehh, that's a forgotten term, just use it like you've got a short-range tether to your body or something)
<DM>	*Darte, you see the Follower of Wisdom and Stella moving closer together. The Follower of Wisdom is roughly north and Stella Northwest.
*	Darte considers, then chooses the tunnel closest to the direction of the Follower.  "C'mon, let's try this way.  Worst case, I can scout ahead to make sure this is the right path."
<Nigel>	"Okay sure, I have no clue how to traverse mazes."
*	Baegba follows along.
*	Darte shrugs.  "Neither do I.  But splitting up will probably get us killed, too!" He swims on ahead into the tunnel.
*	Nigel follows Darte.
<Baegba>	Oi will just follow you, cause yew's da woise wun.
<Baegba>	(FOLLOWING THE WISE ONE)
<Baegba>	(G-G-GET IT?)
<DM>	*You swim into the tunnel, following through it as you navigate a school of bubbles... or you think they are bubbles..*
<DM>	*Everyone, roll Power or Courage to defend*
<Baegba>	(if it's a school of bubbles, does that mean they can teach me stuff?)

<DM>	*Darte, you barely graze past the swarm of Shaboom*
<DM>	*Baegba and Nigel, you aren't so lucky*
<Baegba>	(I'm starting to think instead of Darte being OP for this quest, Nigel and I miiiiiight be a tad underpowered, lol)
<Nigel>	(what is a shaboom? a miserable pile of bubbles)
<Baegba>	(cause I'm a glass cannon and that's the highest roll I can make)
<DM>	vs Baegba: 21-20 = 1 Damage - Armor + Unfocused
<Nigel>	(nigel's practically broke so)
<Baegba>	(don't you know? shabooms are hidden inside of walls, just like steamed hams)
<Baegba>	(cooked to perfection)
<DM>	vs Nigel: 21-16 = 5 Damage - Armor + Unfocused
*	Baegba shrugs the damage off, though starts to triple vision.
<Baegba>	(annnnnnnd coincidentally this is where I go afk. Make that DM vision or whoever takes me over. Afk 30 minutes/1 hour.)
*	Nigel doesn't take damage (thanks 8 armor), but still gets unfocused.

<Kefka>	ZURPG: Baegba
<Darte>	"Watch yourselves, Jabu-Jabu didn't take their Dream Bean-o, it seems."
<Nigel>	11h, 0m | Unfocused
*	Darte looks behind to see the warning was perhaps a bit too late.
<Darte>	(Did you have Sponge still from last time, NIgel? Or was that Block)
<DM>	*You are now in a section where the path splits. To the left and to the right*
<Nigel>	(i don't remember, but it was probably wiped anyway)
<Nigel>	"Eh, I'm good."
<Nigel>	"Mostly."
*	Darte scans for the Follower again.
<DM>	*You find that the Follower is North and the witch is Northeast*
*	Darte ponders.  "Hold a second.  Gonna see if I can figure out which way's right."
<Nigel>	"Okay sir."
*	Nigel waits patiently.
*	Darte uses his Spirit Gem to slip out of his body and float straight towards the follower, angling to see if he can tell which direction he's moving from.
<DM>	*You find yourself that you are moving to the left
<Darte>	(Does he pop out in a corridor, or is the next open space too far away to reach by gem?)
<DM>	(You pop out in a corridor)
*	Darte looks back the direction the Follower would have come from.  Still to the left?
<DM>	(Yes)
<DM>	*As you pop out into a corridor, you notice a giant Octorok dozing in the way*
*	Darte nods, satisfied, and snaps back with the gem.  "Right.  Let's try this way.  Swim quietly, there's beasts ahead, and probably more bubbles if we're unlucky."
<Nigel>	"Sounds like a plan."
<DM>	*Baegba nods, assuming autofollow*
*	Nigel follows Darte cautiously and quietly.
<DM>	(Darte you moved on?)
*	Darte swims in the direction he'd gestured towards, off to the left.
<DM>	*You swim into the left path. You encounter no blockages until you encounter the big octo Darte saw just before. The Octo appears to be dozing, it's ugly face and snout facing you and its blocking the way. On addition, there are a few bubbles floating about*
*	Darte raises a hand to call the party to a halt, musing at the problem.  He pulls out a bomb, tilting his head at Nigel.
*	Nigel pulls out a bomb from his inventory in response, tilting his head in confusion.
*	Darte nods enthusiastically.
*	Darte is not sure how he pulled out bombs with hands full of swords, now that he thinks about it for two seconds.
<DM>	*Darte, you are balancing bombs between your swords. Because they are in water, they thankfully have no lit fuse to detonate in your hands*
*	Darte prepares to Sneak-Up, aiming to drive the bombs into the Octorok's snouth with his blades.  He motions for Nigel to throw his bomb in that direction.
<DM>	*Darte, roll Courage or Power to dodge the bubbles*

<DM>	*Big Octo just explodes into many icky Octorok bits, its blood clouding the water*
<Darte>	Blood Scale Stance: If an attack would kill you, you’re dropped to 1 Heart instead.
<Darte>	 Only works once per battle.
<Nigel>	(i don't know what's funnier, the fact that we managed to stuff the octorok's snouth with bombs, or the fact that Darte still somehow gets blown up)
*	Darte looks mildly stunned at the level of carnage brought on by that blast, just floating absently in the tunnel for a few short seconds.
<DM>	*It also drops 300 Rupees per player and 3 Splash Blue Potions*
<DM>	$2d3
<Navi>	DM: You rolled 2 Dice with 3 Sides. Results: 1 and 1. Total: 2.

*	Darte uses one of the Splash Blue Potions on the spot.

<Nigel>	14h, 4m
<Darte>	(Auto-give the last splash blue / recov heart to Baegba?)
<DM>	(Sure)
*	Darte shakes himself off, blinking the blood out of his eyes.  "Right.  On we go.  Hope he didn't feel that."
<Nigel>	"Yes sir."
*	Nigel gets ready to follow Darte.
*	Darte heads further down the corridor, wondering if this route was a really stupid idea.
<DM>	*You continue heading further down the corridor until you reach the next cavernous opening.*
<DM>	*You enter a large cavern filled with what appears to be coral, with many passages leading around. In a sea of yellow, green, blue, purple and red, you see the smaller polyps you saw when you watched the first memory everywhere*
*	Darte ponders.  "Nigel, think you can poke around for loose memories? I'm gonna search for prey again real quick."
<Nigel>	"Sure, sir."
*	Nigel starts looking around the vast number of polyps.
*	Darte seeks out the spirit of the Follower from where they are now.
<DM>	*Darte, you re-engage Spirit Vision to see that the Follower of Wisdom jerk is close by, but not in the cavern. He is this time East but Stella is also close.*
<DM>	*Nigel, you look around to see that one of the polyps seem to be odd...*
<Darte>	(oh no, please don't be a facehugger)
*	Nigel looks at the suspicious polyp in caution.
<DM>	*Nigel, you notice... impurities in the polyp. It appears to take on a crimson hue at several points*
<Baegba>	OI'M A DEDFUL MOINDWOIPER WIT' MANAJUN OICTERUKS IN DA BOISEMENT O' ME JIMMY RUSTLIN' PATRAS!
*	Baegba reawakens from his daze.
<Baegba>	Dat wuz weird.
*	Nigel looks at baegba startled.
<Darte>	(Narrator: That was, indeed, weird.)
*	Baegba looks around to see a fully blood-covered crimson Darte (despite being underwater, still covered in blood, legit), then at the suspicious polyp, then back to Darte.
<Baegba>	Oi, Darte, did yew bleed all o'er a polyp?
*	Darte snaps out of his search.  "What? I mean, there was a lot of octorok blood we swam through..."
<Nigel>	"Well, it appears this particular one is different from the rest of these things."
*	Darte shrugs.  "Give it a whack, I guess? If it doesn't give us another memory, we'll just move on."
<Nigel>	"Okay."
*	Nigel attempts to lightly bonk the polyp.
<DM>	*The polyp dents a little... and then sucks Nigel into it!*
<DM>	*Roll Power to defend!*
<Darte>	"... this is not the kind of memories I wanted to make."

*	Baegba contemplates, blinks a few times, then reorients himself.
<Baegba>	Huh, feels loik Oi wuz just a'thunkin' somefin', den me losts it. Wot wuz Oi a-sayin' 'gain?
*	Darte growls. "Just great.  That Follower clearly did something to you, and now Nigel's been washed away.  If we don't deal with him, you won't be able to help with Nigel, but we also can't do this without Nigel's help.  Scorch my scales, this is not good."
<Baegba>	Scorch yer scales, ye say?
<Baegba>	But we's underwoiter, Oi kin't scorch yer scales!
<Darte>	"NONONO.  No.  Just..."
*	Darte considers, then shakes his head.  "Might just be the hot blood, but I'm thinking we take out the Follower now, before he can meet back up with the witch, and then go find Nigel."
<Baegba>	Sounds loik a plan ta me!
*	Baegba readies his... defensive build since he can't do much else underwater.
*	Darte swims down the tunnel in the direction he saw the Follower go.
<DM>	*Suddenly, the corrupted polyp returns and spits Nigel back out*
*	Baegba follows along.
<Darte>	"..."
<Baegba>	...

<DM>	*Darte, you notice that the two souls are together now*
<Nigel>	"... I have no idea what I just saw..."
*	Darte curses.  "We took too long.  Right, we're gonna have to make the most of this hash, then."
<Baegba>	Wait, Oi gots an oidea then...
<Nigel>	"Well drat."
<Baegba>	WE COMBOINE OUR OWN SOULZIES.
<Baegba>	COMBOINE AN' CONQUER.
<Nigel>	"... What."
<Darte>	"... How even."
<Baegba>	... Oi don't know.
<Baegba>	... ONWARDS!
<Nigel>	"Should I bonk him?"
*	Baegba moves on forward and ahead of Darte.
<Darte>	"He might need a bonking, he's been acting weird..."
<Darte>	"And he didn't remember who you were, and he's got some of that guy's soul hanging around..."
<Nigel>	"Hmmm..."
<Darte>	"Aaaand now he wants to merge souls? Not suspicious at all."
<DM>	(Maybe he wants to be more determined-shot)
<Darte>	(shot indeed)
<Nigel>	"Yeah..."
*	Nigel attempts to catch up to baegba in preparation for a bonking time.
<DM>	*Nigel you easily catch up to Baegba*
*	Darte nods and swims after Nigel.  "Wish I'd learned some better purification stuff."
*	Nigel then attempts to Bonk! Baegba
<Nigel>	Bonk!:

<DM>	*Suddenly a message echoes*
<DM>	[???] "I thought one of you would catch on"
*	Baegba turns to block the bonk, using his Soul Lantern to project a barrier from his own soul.
<DM>	[???] "No matter. He will operate of one of mine from now on. Come! Foolish Goron!"
<Nigel>	"Drat."
<DM>	*Baegba forcibly swims as fast as he could away from you players and to the Follower of Wisdom*
<Baegba>	... wait, if Oi'm a foolish Goron, then why take controil o' me? Wouldn't dat make yews da one dat's bein' foolish? But who's yew? An' who's really me?
*	Darte throws a Boomerang at Baegba.
<DM>	(Zora Boomerang?)
<Darte>	(Regular, Zora would only leech Magic)
<Darte>	(no idea if this works underwater, though)
<Darte>	$25d10
<DM>	*Darte you find that the boomerang only goes a few feet before stopping and descending. But you still have time to make an action that could immobolize him*

<Darte>	(D'oh)
<DM>	*Zora Boomerangs would go the full distance though*
<Darte>	(Don't have 'em, is the problem)
<Baegba>	(question, what's the exact Subjugate order being given to me?)
<Darte>	(Detach the fins off your arms (ow?) and fling them like boomerang blades at a target.
<Darte>	Roll your Courage dice vs. targets' Courage dice * 2
<Darte>	Damage: Halved
<Darte>	EFFECT A: For each fin that hits, siphon 2 Magic from the target to you.
<Darte>	EFFECT B: Afterwards, your fins return to you automatically.)
<DM>	(The exact order is "Go North and return to me!")
<DM>	(Err East)
<Nigel>	"Wait... He said that he thought one of us would catch on."
<Nigel>	"Which probably meant that he expected us to attack Baegba."
<Nigel>	"We should have diverted expectations."
<Darte>	"Just trying to stop him, not attack him.  Slow him down."
<Darte>	"Give us enough time to reach him first."
<Baegba>	(iiiiiinteresting)
<Baegba>	(whelp, roll away Darte)
<Darte>	(Not attacking, just pointing out the zora fins don't actually immobilize like boomerangs do)
<DM>	(Reminder: Magic still works underwater. But reminder that some spells have altered effects when used underwater)
<Nigel>	(wait, i have pegasus seeds)
<DM>	(You could probably try to slow him down if you have a spell that cuts Attack Dice or Courage)
*	Baegba returns to his move to the... east, supposedly.
*	Darte casts Glacial Ice, hoping to give Baegba a temporary icicle home.

<Darte>	Damage: +3
<Darte>	EFFECT: If it hits, target loses 5 Courage.
*	Baegba is hit, and because his Courage drops to 0.... do I stop moving?
<Baegba>	I mean, combined with the frozen part....
<DM>	*Baegba, you become entirely encased in ice*
<DM>	*You float to the ceiling of the corridor, completely unable to move*
<Nigel>	"Huh, neat."
<DM>	*Flakes of ice can be seen rising to the top as well from the Glacial Ice*
<Nigel>	"I'm not sure what I expected."
<DM>	[???] Goron? Goron? Curse Din for this! I guess I will have to try harder.
*	Darte ponders.  "Right, hold tight Baegba.  Will be back to break you out in a bit.  C'mon, Nigel, we've got a witch to test."
<Nigel>	"Yes sir."
<Darte>	(Sadly, she's already passed the drowning test.)
<Nigel>	"Actually, now that I think about it, can Jabu-Jabu withstand the ice cold or something?"
<Darte>	(I think Baegba's spent most of this quest being batted about by one thing or another.)
<DM>	[???] Lava Beam! Lava Beam you stupid Goron!
<DM>	*Baegba still does not move*
*	Darte shrugs.  "His pond freezes over sometimes, I think?"
<Darte>	"C'mon, while he's still distracted!" He swims down the corridor towards the voice.
<Baegba>	MMMMFFFHHHRMRMFHFRMMRFHMMRRMRHFHFHHFFFMMM
*	Nigel follows Darte.
<Baegba>	(I was too useful early on, and then DM realized how to counter my cheese build. I may need to change my playstyle/restructure my profile a tad to carry on.)
<Nigel>	"Reason I ask is because we might be able to do something with ice."
<Nigel>	"Might."
<DM>	*You enter a large cavern, dominated by what appears to be a spiralling mass of madness. In the centre of the madness is the giant polyp from before. Around appears to be lots of coral and plenty of Biri and bubbles float around harmlessly. Also floating about are Stella and the Follower of Wisdom*
<Baegba>	(so if Jabu Jabu gets a brain freeze, does the dream end, or does everyone just die?)
<Darte>	(Infinite pain for what seems like days)
<Baegba>	(in which case, all the players revive later, and all the NPC characters within just insta-die. Legit strat.)
<DM>	(I'm gonna say it would just hang the game.)
<DM>	*err dream*
<DM>	(You do realize that if you somehow get everyone in here killed, it would be game over and you would respawn a day later. Likely in a domain filled with Keaton*
<Baegba>	(and then it becomes a sneaking mission, which Baegba has proved himself as proficient already. Plus the zombie/controller folks would be dead. IT'S LEGIT.)
<Darte>	( D: )
<DM>	(Don't forget the ramifications that it brings for the story as a whole, and you would be up against several generals at once)
<Nigel>	(i was initially thinking encasing some people in ice, but okay)
<Baegba>	(I tried)
*	Darte considers, then blinks behind the Follower, attempting to encase him in ice as well.
<DM>	[Follower] Looks like we might have to do without that Goron we captured for now.
<DM>	[Stella] That's one of their allies down, we just need to nail two more. But we have to be fast. Thoughter is saying Sephiroth is nearby - Once he arrives he will be super busy
<DM>	[Follower] Got it!
<DM>	[Follower] Outnumbered, they should have little issue. Provided we can catch Darte before he can do anything big.
<Darte>	(Will await DM cues for when attack is permissible, etc.  Dunno if we were seen entering or not.)
<DM>	*An attack is permissible*
*	Nigel is just being silent about this.
<DM>	(You are not seen entering yet)
*	Darte blinks behind the Follower and casts Glacial Ice, then, hoping for another sneak attack.
<DM>	*Roll for Sneak attack*
<DM>	(Which one? Courage or Wisdom?)
<Darte>	(Courage, that's...)

<Darte>	(Losing effect block, no siphon.  Welp, what a wastea)
<DM>	Stella: 35h 30m | Grave Life | +5 Wisdom

<DM>	(Covering them from being struck by attack)
<DM>	(They are visible, because the Biri ain't that big)

<DM>	[Stella] At last! This memory is now corrupt. Now Jabu-Jabu will remember him being saved by the Keaton Army during the Hyrulean Civil war as opposed to De Bon and Lance. Kehehehe...
<DM>	[Stella] But that's not enough. There are more we have to corrupt before our work is done.
<DM>	*The memory that was in the spiralling mass of darkness is freed, now corrupt, and flies through the way you came through.
*	Darte snarls.  "You'll have to change a lot more than that to turn the loyalty of Lord Jabu-Jabu against us."
*	Darte tries to tear into Merle with his Finishing Move.
<Nigel>	"Must be why one of the memories I saw was of a Keaton giving Jabu-Jabu a fish."
<Darte>	"And the one we saw earlier of the King betraying him, yeah, I figure that now."

<DM>	(Remind me Baegba , does Darte's Blink ability work while Immobilized?)
<Darte>	(Ostensibly it's not technically 'movement' nor a melee ability, but DM / designer's call)
<DM>	(After this round, I am going to hit the Pause button)
<Nigel>	(i am kinda tired right now)
<Nigel>	(like low energy tired)
<DM>	[Stella] We need to start retreating.
<DM>	[Stella] It appears Sephiroth has chosen to not engage Thoughter and is headed straight to Jabu Jabu
<DM>	[Merle] Got it. Hold them in place while we escape
<DM>	(I am going to allow the Blink ability to work while Immobilized)
<DM>	*Stella fires Glacial Ice at Darte!*

<DM>	--==SESSION END==--

--==Short Party Split for Nigel==--
<DM>	*You are watching the Zora's fountain through Jabu-Jabu's point of view. It is a cold, boring day at the fountain, business as usual. Suddenly, a short Keaton with scars on his face and wearing a Green Tunic comes into view. You recognize this Keaton as being Thoughter... but you sense something totally different about him*
<DM>	*Initially wary, Jabu-Jabu shuddered at the intruder; ready to raise an alarm. But then Thoughter presented a bottle... a bottle of fish and offered it to him.*
<DM>	*Jabu-Jabu happily swallowed up the fish whole, becoming more content with his presence*
<DM>	*Thoughter then approached closer, asking*
<DM>	[Thoughter] "My destiny is to succeed Link as the new wielder of the Master Sword, to defeat Ganondorf when he returns. How may I prove my worth of holding the Sapphire to the Zora?"
<DM>	*Jabu-Jabu nodded in respect. It is clear this is Thoughter before he rallied his army and became a supervillain.*
<DM>	[Jabu-Jabu] "It is true that you bear the Power of the Hero of Time. But his Power alone means nothing. In order to be worthy of holding the Master Sword you also need his Wisdom and, more importantly, his Courage. When you have acquired all three, it will then be wise to seek out the Master Sword."
<DM>	*Thoughter stumbled backwards in shock, at the sudden realization that the power he had was simply not enough to be the next Hero of Time*
<DM>	[Thoughter] "How might I acquire his Wisdom and Courage then?"
<DM>	*Jabu-Jabu pondered for a few moments, racking his brain to find advice he should give*
[Jabu-Jabu] "You must visit the seven sages; Zelda, Rauru, Saria, Darunia, Ruto, Nabooru, Impa. They shall tell you what you must do next"
<DM>	*From them on, the memory appears to be a little glitchy, sounds and voices jumping around a bit*
Flashes of crimson flood the screen, as if it is burning with corruption
<DM>	[Jabu-Jabu] "Yo-uu are- zzt the Hero of Time crack**pop -We must prot-t-ect you! You-r army zzt too"
<DM>	*Afterwards, it appears the memory halts and it is flown back to the blowhole, the whale attempts to blow it back out by exhaling through its blowhole but it still slides in. And you are sucked back in...*
