Kamek crashed onto the table and, dangerously Kamek realized after the fact, onto some of the sprites. Rather than mutating him into some hideous beast due to unwanted sprite absorption it instead simply made for a very uncomfortable landing indeed, as farming equipment popped into existence below him. The spontaneous matter creation shoved him off of the table again, preventing even more sprites from being crushed, or worse absorbed, and depositing the mage onto the floor just as Linkle burst in and started yelling about an emergency. Kamek was a bit to confuddled to actually respond to her shouting until the young woman offered to help him up.

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”Thank you, Linkle.”[/color] the mage said hurriedly as Linkle pulled him up off the floor. He moved quickly to the edge of the pit and looked down it, worry clear on his face as he did so. When it became clear that nothing could be gleaned from above his agitated concern was replaced with steely resolution as the mage stepped back and retrieved his wand from his robes. As he did so a number of adventures echoed Linkle’s question, all of them rightly concerned, curious and/or confused by the Guild Master’s actions.

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”Turns out there was more to the Guild Master than met the eye. He used dark magic to make this hole”[/color] Kemek explained as he used his magic to create 4 mirrored duplicates of himself. As he continued speaking he conjured 4 colored orbs and tossed them to the clones, causing them to take on a green, red or white coloration depending on the color of the orb. [color=DeepSkyBlue]”He was rather displeased with our success, held out on confirming our kill till we presented him with the Brachydios’s spirit. Then he became furious that we made him ‘lose a bet’ while referring to our group as ‘Seekers’. Finally he created this hole in the floor that swallowed up our allies and sent then plummeting down to badness knows where”[/color]

When Kamek finished explaining he had transformed the illusionary clones from distracting mimics to independently animated minions, one red, one green and two white. The silent magical constructs hadn’t been idle as they were formed and Kamek talked. The red mage had picked up the pitchfork off of the table, while the pair of white mages had cast light healing spells on Kamek to remove the light injury he'd received to his hand and back. Finally the green mage, (who had been made first), had decided the most supportive thing it could do at the moment was gather up all of the uncrushed spirits(and a weird skull with a white spirit embedded into it) off the table inorder to transport them down to the rest of the party.

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”Who knows what dangers they might be in down there”[/color] the mage said as he and the clones mounted their brooms in preparation to descend and then asked the woman in green [color=DeepSkyBlue]”So. Will you be coming down with me? The white mages can give you a lift,”[/color] he said, causing the two healers to offer Linkle a hand each in-order to carry her down, [color=DeepSkyBlue]”or is this emergency you were shouting about a more pressing concern to you?”[/color]

Down below the courier's gamble was heard, considered and then finally dismissed by card based ejection into one of the portals.

[color=FD0000]”Gahahaha. Serves him right.”[/color] he chortled at the cowboy’s, in Bowser option well deserved, misfortune. 

[color=FD0000]”Because I’m the boss here and I say we get to krumping this guy’s goons, whoever they are, without trying to make any more stupid deals.”[/color] he told the team despite the fact that he himself had just tried to make them fight twice as many enemies at once for absolutely zero gain. 

Before he could turn to enter one of the portals however they were joined by jr. They prince's fall was far more controlled than his father's uncontrolled panic of a fall and as a result so was his landing which involved a ground punching superhero landing. 

[color=FD0000]”Jr!”[/color] bowser called out to his son as the boy got up from the kneeling posture he had landed in as the boy quietly complained about having sore knees. Any further conversation was put on hold as the Koopas examined, with surprised looks on their faces, the changes that had come over Jr as a result of his sprite absorption. Most obvious to jr was the fact that he now had tougher blue scales on his arms and legs that made it look a bit like he was wearing a pair of matching pair of elbow length gloves and knee length socks. Said arms and legs were also a tad bit longer. Only slightly however, which Jr felt relieved about. He wasn't sure what he would have done if he’d suddenly doubled in height and been unable to use his clown car once he got back to it. Perhaps, he thought, he could absorb something small if he ever did get to big.

Obviously the change to his limbs (or here to unregistered change to his tail or change from green to blue coloration in places) was not what anyone else was focusing on.

At the sight of their master’s arrival Mimikyu abandoned their seat atop Gaig-tron’s shoulders and then dashed over to the transformed Jr. Upon arriving they hoped up, but instead of landing on Jr’s shoulder as they normally would they instead sat themselves atop the large horn that had formed on jr’s forehead. 

[color=SpringGreen]”Wow. Hay. What is thaaaaat?”[/color] the boy exclaimed as the added weight in a place where wight should not have been able to be applied caused him to become fully aware of his new horn. He'd wondered why he couldn't see up any more. He reached up with his hands and patted it a few times to get a feel for its dimensions. 

[color=SpringGreen]”Uh. Huh. Ok. Probably need a mirror to really get how I look. Hopefully it isn’t dumb? So how do I do the slimy boom thing?”[/color] he said out-loud before balling up his fists and tensing every muscle in his body to try and will the slime to form. Form it did, from all the locations it was able too. 

[color=SpringGreen]”aaaand now it’s everywhere. Gross.”[/color] jr noted as slime leaked out from between his new rugged blue scales and out of the end of the horn. Mimikyu backing up swiftly as the slime began leaking down from the horns tip to coat its upper half. 

Upon seeing the dangerous explosive slime forming Bowser shook the stunned look of surprise off his face and warned jr that [color=FD0000]”That stuff explodes Jr!”[/color]

[color=SpringGreen]”Yeah dad I know.”[/color] he replied calmly at first, only to realize what his father meant a few heartbeats later. 

[color=SpringGreen]”Ahhhhh! It explodes! It explodes!”[/color] he yelled in a panic and then began to violently shake his hands, splattering the volatile substance across the table in front of him while shouting [color=SpringGreen]”Get off! Get off! Get off!”[/color]. Mimikyu clung onto Jr’s top knot as the boy proceeded to shake his head to do the same to the horn.

Bowser backed away hurriedly as the spatter zone started exploding in a piecemeal fashion, tearing up the felt surface in a series of small explosions erupted from the droplets of slime. Eventually jr realized that his hands hadn’t been blown off by this point they probably never would, so he slowed and then stopped his shaking. Then he examined his hands, noting that a small amount of green slime still clung to it in some places, He was fairly sure he hasn't made any more, so why, he wondered, hadn't it also exploded like the stuff he had sprayed everywhere

[color=SpringGreen]”Huh. I think it doesn't explode while on me?”[/color] he concluded.

A little bit of experimentation proved this and scorched the felt table top a bit more in the process. 

[color=FD0000]”Well... That turned out OK in the end. Risky though. You could have gotten hurt.”[/color] Bowser said as the boy got the hang of his new powers.

[color=SpringGreen]”I’m fine. Its fine”[/color] Jr insisted.

Bowser grunted in disagreement before telling the boy that [color=FD0000]”We’ll talk about this later. For now we’ve got to clobber gilgaflix or whatever his name is’s goons so we can roll that dice and win his stupid game. You ready?”[/color] 

[color=SpringGreen]”Heck yeah I am! I’ll blast em into the next dimension!”[/color] Jr cheered, raising up his lightly slime covered fists confidently.

“Mimi-ku-ku!” Agreed his pokemon as it sat at the base of his horn. As they called out Mimikyu copied both jr’s pose and his power, two small patches of green slime coating the ends of their long tentacle arms.

[color=FD0000]”Great.”[/color] Bowser said before turning and looking at all the portals. 

[color=FD0000]”Hmmmm. Which one? Eni. Meni. Mini. Moe! This one!”[/color] he announced, before stomping his way into a portal two steps to the right of the one the courier had been thrown into. After waving goodbye to anyone still left on the table Jr and Mimikyu hurried on in after him. Then the portal close behind them, trapping them inside with whatever oversized casino themed boss awaited them. Or as Bowser would have phrased it: trapping whatever sad excuse for a minion they found inside in there with the most dangerous father son duo in the world!
