Earthbound – Mother Earth

@Red_massa, sorry for the delay, but to make up for it, there's a boss fight coming up. :)

Earthbound – Mother Earth

"I'll see what I can do, but given my crippling situation, I'm not sure there is much that I will be able to help with. But my arms are strong and I've been trained to fight through pain. Maybe I can get around myself after all."

Spruce hoisted himself up by his arms, dragging his useless legs behind him. He picked up a piece of debris that had strayed close to him and, holding himself up on his left arm, threw the chunk of cement as hard as he could at the ceiling above the little crowd of feasting vegetables.

[Rolled 5]

CRAASH! The ceiling that was left crumbled down on top of the vegetables! The less-protected vegetables were crushed under the weight, but one Closed Pinecone remained, struggling underneath a large piece of debris, its stubby arms and legs flailing about but going nowhere.

"Ha! Well that takes care of that! Grab some shears or whatever you think will work best and let's get out of here!"

Earthbound – Mother Earth

"I suppose so... Hopefully there's not too much debris so we can find what we need," Spruce hoped.

[Rolled 1]

Unfortunately, as they rounded the tree, they found that the store had been directly below Karol's dojo. The practice mats were strewn about and large bits of the floor and ceiling were strewn all about, covering everything in the center of the store, not to mention the large spruce tree growing straight through the middle of the store as well! But fortunately, fate was not altogether against them, because the walls were mostly untouched and there were plenty of wares hanging there and free for the taking.

On the wall to the left of the entrance were all sorts of rakes, hoes, and those garden claw things that break up the dirt for more nutrients to get in.

On the wall to the right was the checkout counter and next to it was stacks of bags of fertilizer and plant food, some of which were ripped open by the fallen debris and currently being eaten by a small crowd of Pinecones, Onions, Ferns, and Potatoes.

And on the back wall, past the feeding group, was the kind of stuff Karol was looking for: shears, clippers, machetes, weed killer—you name it!

The sword pierced the eye, oozing more of the black liquid and...

@Gisk

The monster reared back with a deafening screech! The sword passed through the eye and out of the bottom of the mouth. It jerked itself away, removing the sword from its mouth, and the eye split into two eyes again, both eyes still glowing.

The devil-stag's antler thudded to the ground, dissolving into a pile of fine, black ash. An inky black liquid oozed from where the stag's antler had been, and the liquid started bulging out and growing a new antler to replace the one Alphonse had blown off. It continued its charge, missing Alphonse and Datura as they flew aside but picking up Archie in its fearsome jaws. In the moments that he was in the beast's jaws, Archie could see the snake eyes inside the jaws staring at him just inches from him.

The beast cast Archie aside, leaving him with sickly puncture wounds all around his torso, and pawed the ground again. It may have been the party's imagination, but Archie's blood seemed to have some kind of strange effect on the beast, because its dark aura looked weaker... Lowering its head and brandishing its newly grown antler, the devil-stag opened its mouth wider than anything could possibly open its mouth and revealed that the two snake eyes inside its mouth had fused into one giant, glowing eye, bloodshot and unblinking. But the beast did not move. It stood there panting and letting the leftover blood drain from its mouth. Apparently the herbivorous animal was fighting the corruption to recover from the unexpected taste of the animal summoner's blood...

WE still skipping Derp?

@Gisk

Yeah, I haven't heard anything from him and his profile says that he hasn't even been on the website since the last time he posted, so we're still skipping him.

@La Inquisidora, Yikes! I hope @Bleu Chess or someone gets a good roll to help you! D:

I'll post my piece in a little bit, hopefully not too long from now!

"Now that I think about it, I did see a sign that mentioned a gardening store when I came in that entrance... I didn't get a really good look at it, but I'm sure it said 'gardening' in the store's name. I don't see it over here, but maybe it's downstairs?" Spruce grunted, "This would be a lot faster if I could just use my damn legs..."

The only way downstairs from where Karol stood was across the bridge and down the broken escalator's stairs. The Acorns swaying in the tree had not noticed Karol or Spruce and apparently hadn't heard their tussle with the Pinecones. In fact, Karol noticed that they seemed to be asleep! Other than these living plant monsters, there didn't seem to be any other danger in the way of his path to the escalator!

(Please roll for successful crossing. Anything greater than 2 is a success.)

Hey @La Inquisidora, just in case you missed it, it's your turn now. :)

Got caught up with shizat, will post this afternoon/evening

@Red_massa

Haha, and now I've caught up with all my stuff. Sucks that it all had to happen on the weekend, though! I'll post in a little bit. Sorry for the wait!
