The team entered a blue-tiled stone chamber with a huge lava pit in the middle lined on either side by a narrow ledge with brick blocks scattered about making it difficult to traverse. Four large green Warp Pipes stood near the back of the room along with a bright yellow mystery question block. Two seemingly bottomless pits lay between the Warp Pipes, and suspended over them were the red-and-blue clad Mario and pink-clad Princess Peach in swaying steel cages! Near the entrance waddled two bob-ombs. An undead koopa, a dry bones, began approaching the party. A green and red piranha plant popped up out of one of the pipes. By the cages stood the bulky, spike-shelled king of the koopas, King Bowser!
Bowser approached the edge of the lava pit, on the side far from the party. From there he unleashed two barrages of magic hammers at Khesen! Claude blasted a bob-omb with three electrical blasts from a shocking spark spell which he empowered with his magical rod. The bob-omb could not withstand the sheer magnitude of Claude’s spell and exploded! The blast washed over the party, dealing damage to them all. Komorebi burst into song to inspire the team while Edonna cast blessing of fervor upon them all. The other bob-omb sauntered up to the team and unleashed a blast upon them all. The piranha plant launched a fiery energy ball that scorched Claude. Hekera dropped his hammer, drew his bow, and fired upon the plant. Meanwhile, Helg channeled positive energy which healed and bolstered the entire party. Khesen then attacked the bob-omb.
Bowser then hit Claude with many magic hammers, killing him beneath the onslaught. Komorebi began casting blur on numerous allies. Edonna broke free of the pack and began edging around the side while the team finished off the other bob-omb. She then leaped across the entire room using her magical boots. Bowser came charging forward and stepped right out into the lava pit! Instead of plunging in, a bridge appeared beneath his feet allowing him to walk into the middle of the flaming pit! From there he breathed a horrific blast of fire across almost everyone. Komorebi used his magical cloak to fake his death in the conflagration and turn invisible. Hekera’s bow spelled death for the piranha plant. Meanwhile, Edonna triggered the question block and revealed a POW block that she quickly slammed into the ground! It damaged the dry bones and Bowser with its blast.
Helg had cast spiritual weapon, and it continued to tear into Bowser, much to the koopa king’s annoyance. The team tried to bull rush the dry bones into the lava but failed to push it far enough. Khesen then grappled the creature, slammed it to the ground, and pinned it! Bowser moved further across the bridge and begin ripping into Helg. In the meantime, Edonna went to Mario’s cage and removed his gag. He yelled “Pull the lever!” Edonna looked around and spotted a lever near the question block. She rushed back and threw it, which caused the bridge to retract! As Bowser toppled, Helg hit him with his sword! The injured koopa king hit the lava and died in the flames! His death caused the dry bones to become inanimate. The team rescued Mario and Peach and searched the room. They found several valuable items and learned they needed to flee before Bowser’s daughter, Bowsette, returned home! The group ran through the koopa kingdom, guided by Mario and Peach, and returned to the entrance Warp Pipe. They went through and gated back to the asteroid pirate city, Bral!
