Our adventurers play an arcade game (part 3)

Getting started

Our party of brave adventurers continues their ongoing arcade adventure:

• Yoshi (W)
• Mario (L)
• Luigi (P)

M is the dungeon master for this campaign.

Today’s adventure

In addition to the goodies our party received in the last battle, everyone has a purple hand they can use to shoot Ditto slime as a ranged weapon. Yoshi summons a lucky goomba. One falls from the sky and begins attacking him. It is easily smooshed.

After some deliberation, the party enters the giant Bowser Cave. They perceive a variety of enemies, some more than others. Luigi and Yoshi are caught unaware by some flying fists.

Toad contorts his light sabers into a kamehameha and hits Bowser. Bowser is about the size of four large trampolines. Luigi launches Ditto slime, in the form of a snowball, at Bowser’s face. It’s a miss. Mario tosses Cappy at Bowser’s nose and misses.

Bowser returns Toad’s kamehameha with his own kamehameha, and delivers 5 damage. Ouch! Various Koopa Troopas mimic Bowser’s attach and direct their energy to Luigi, hitting him for 3 damage.

Yoshi transmogrifies some Ditto slime into a spear and looses it at Bowser. Miss! Toad attempts another kamehameha and it’s a hit! Luigi misses with another snowball. Mario tries again with Cappy and misses 😢.

Bowser leaps high into the air and spirit bombs the party, inflicting significant damage to all nearby creatures and party members, and in doing so, Bowser also destroys himself. Yoshi revives a fainted Toad.

The pressure wave of Bowser’s attack rushes all party members out of the game and back into the arcade with a few interesting artifacts:

• Delta has a shapeshifting dagger
• Reinhardt has Hatty, a hat that charms the wearer
• Blaze has a sharp tongue, which is apparently some sort of melee weapon
• Angy Boy has carnage venom tentacles

Time to rest. Until next time…

Homework

None.
