The team continued their travels through the blue-tiled dungeon world. The next chamber had numerous seemingly bottomless pits with narrow ledges traversing them. On the far side of the room were a couple of green Warp Pipes, and at least two bright yellow mystery question blocks were also present.
A large green and red piranha plant rose up out of a Warp Pipe and began launching glowing orbs of energy, cold, acid, and electricity, at various members of the party. A brown mushroom-like goomba lumbered about waiting for someone to get near it so it could bull rush them off the ledge. Meanwhile, a four-legged buzzy beetle koopa with a shiny black shell positioned on a ledge and readied an action to charge anyone coming within range. A green-shelled hammer brother koopa took cover behind a question block and launched volley after volley of twirling throwing hammers at the team.
Komorebi and Edonna augmented the team with their spells while Helg began healing some of their lingering injuries from the previous encounter. Claude stepped up and cast a shrillfire spell and discovered at least some of the foes were able to evade his magic. Hekera moved forward and got hit by a vicious fast-moving Bullet Bill! The bullet-shaped black entity went blasting through in a straight line and damaging everything it hit.
Khesen went rushing toward a question block, and when he activated it, it spawned banana peels all around the room! Several of the team slipped on them, and Edonna plunged over the edge of a pit! She fell screaming into the abyss only to mystically respawn, at half her health total, back at the entrance of the room! The hammer brother continued bombarding the team with hurled hammers, and the piranha plant’s energy orbs proved devastating. Claude was able to blast the goomba and eliminate it, but Hekera found himself grievously injured. But for Edonna’s quick close wounds spell, he could have been slain. Helg continued spontaneously casting healing spells while Khesen and the rest of the team moved toward the center of the room. Someone triggered the Bullet Bill again, and it came blasting through the room striking several people.
Komorebi moved up and demoralized the hammer brother and buzzy beetle, one of which he set on fire with his blistering invective spell! Claude cast a Bogg’s cinderball spell, and the fiery concussive blast washed over the room but was only of limited benefit. He was far more successful moments later with a shocking spark spell that electrified the buzzy beetle. The team started landing some blows and realized many of their opponents were lackeys, fodder packing a heavy punch but no staying power.
In spite of suffering several extremely heavy blows, the team was able to defeat all the enemies and also avoid further blasts of the Bullet Bill. The team searched the room and found a few magical arrows and some valuables. They then setup camp and set a rotating watch shift. Throughout the night they heard some patrols, but they were a long way out. The team got up the next morning refreshed and with spell power recovered.
