At the sound of Mycellium's songs, some of the Ironwood Deku soldiers shift uncomfortably. The spider-contraptions towards the edge of the crowd shift agitatedly, groaning in protest. Two well-thrown rocks strike Mycellium in the snout, silencing him. Deku of any alignment do not take kindly to Deku of other portions of the forest. The animosity between each breed is incomparable.

At the sound of Boom's anguished groveling, the leader of the Ironwood Deku soldiers appears to tense up. This isn't what he expected from the group that made his job significantly easier.

With the air of a person not used to diplomacy, the Ironwood Deku's leader yells across the ravine.
"Little Kokiri, gather your friends! We of the Ironwood Legion wish to reward you for your actions!"
As Boom reaches where the bridge was, he finds it right where he left it. However, across from the bridge is what must have been the source of the noise.

Ironwood Dekus.

Dozens of them.

The entire rim of the sinkhole is surrounded by gleaming-metal shapes. Among the crowd, you see the strange spider-contraptions and isopods from the field, evidently for use as beasts of burden and as siege mechanisms.

Just across from the bridge, the formation parts and reveals a possibly massive Ironwood Deku. As tall as one of the isopods and dressed in glimmering gems, the figure strikes an impressive form. He stares at you imposingly, as if waiting for you to come to him.
Healing partially successful.

The base of the Deku Naga shudders quietly, and rescinds into the earth. As it descends, the vines trailing behind it seal its escape off, covering themselves in rocks and dirt. Before you know it, the Deku Naga's vines are gone from sight, safely underground.

You hear loud thuds, coming from the direction of the bridge you took to get in. Hopefully, the revival of the Deku Naga hasn't caused the bridge to move!
Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria


Jack Morgan scratched his chin thoughtfully. It was true that Shadow Eternity rarely managed their troops well. It was true that The Leader didn't explain anything about her ideology and only wanted weapons of war. It was true that all the high-ranking individuals in Shadow Eternity were mentally-ill lunatics. But to abandon his employer just for Takahara? He'd have to think about this...

"Sounds like you got yourself a plan, Mister Takahara. Sign me and the boys up, I'll call 'em in!"

Jack Morgan used a small wristpad located on, yes indeed, his wrist to send a priority message to all members of the platoon.

Attention all employees. Come to the Party Palace's parking lot. We have something to discuss.

15 minutes later, Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Parking Lot

Jack Morgan finished explaining Takahara's reasoning for quitting Shadow Eternity and creating Shocker+, with some embellishments about who gave him the idea. "And that's the gist of it. We are no longer in Shadow Eternity. New boss, new equipment, better benefits, and better employee support. Any questions?"

Sindibad was the first to speak up. "Uh, yeah. How are we going to get new equipment if most of the Shocker+ guys have just the clothes on their back?"

Jack Morgan cleared his throat, trying to buy some time to think. "W-well, why not ask him? I'm sure you've got some good ideas, right?"

Sindibad smiled. He always enjoyed being given some free will in a situation. "I just might. Be back in a minute, sir."

Sindibad was through the door to the pizzeria before anyone had another question. He always tended to move fast when given a chance to go behind someone's back. He headed up to Takahara, and tried to gain his attention. Still giddy from being given a chance to do what he wanted, he explained everything he wanted to talk about before Takahara had even turned around.

"Excuse me Mister Takahara but I've got a plan see I've got a list of science places and how to contact them and I was thinking we could steal or buy weapons and stuff from them also we should sabotage a Shadow Eternity mission to let them know we're here so what do you think?"

Sindibad gasped for breath, hoping that Takahara had understood everything. If not, he was fully prepared to repeat himself.
The bomb explodes, taking most of the Guardian's head with it. Wet, foul-smelling plant matter rains down over Boom, christening his victory with a shower of viscera.

Deku Naga, Guardian of the Kokiri DEFEATED

4 Hours Until Sunset


The town square is silent, except for the sound of burning wood and sizzling acid. It appears that the resident Kokiris have fled underground in the commotion, sealing themselves off from the surface. To attack the Kokiris underground would be suicide. Powerful magics and deadly tactics safeguard them from all attacks.

There doesn't appear to be anything salvageable here, beyond wood, cloth, and whatever discarded armaments the Kokiri dropped while evacuating. It doesn't seem like the houses can even be used as shelter, considering their current state.

Night is about to fall. Creatures born of fear and shadow rule the night, beaten back only by fire and sunlight. To stay in Kokiri Village and allow the Kokiri to return in force would be tantamount to suicide. To flee the village and brave the night would be even worse. You're stuck between a rock and a hard place, and stuck with a choice: to flee, or to hide?
Deku Naga, Guardian of the Kokiri

The bomb explodes, taking a good chunk of the guardian's root base with it!

Since the cataclysm, the Deku Naga has felt fear only once. Now, it was feeling it again. However, feelings of hatred, spite, shame, and betrayal all overpowered it. The Deku Naga, seeing that it still held Boom in its clutches, decided to finish this once and for all.

The Deku Naga ceases pulling, and instead begins twisting! A chorus of terrifying pops and tearing noises rings out as the Deku Naga prepares to tear Boom apart, limb from limb!
Deku Naga, Guardian of the Kokiri


The ball rolls to a stop, and detonates safely away from anyone who could be hurt by it.

The mighty Guardian of the Kokiri appears to have gotten over its critical acid reflux, and once more looks to Boom with a sadistic gleam in its total lack of an eye. With one fibrous vine, the creature hoists Boom up again, and proceeds to quarter him, one vine to a limb.

Deku Naga starts to slowly pull Boom apart with its powerful vines!

No-Point

The ground is much closer now. You feel you could climb out and land, at the risk of shattering your legs on impact. However, the acidic stench of the Deku Naga's bile smells much closer now. Whatever it is you do, it better be before you reach the creature's mouth! Luckily, it appears the roots around here have suffered severe acid damage, and might be easier to break.

(Circumstances have changed, making escape easier. Score to beat: 14.)
Deku Naga, Guardian of the Kokiri

A trio of explosions rattles the beast's innards, spraying vile fluids all over Boom.

The Deku Naga belches loudly, and begins making horrendous gagging sounds. A low noise, reminiscent of water rushing, can be heard.

Suddenly, a jet of neon-green fluid erupts from the top of the Deku Naga! A droplet of the vile fluid strikes the ground near Boom, leaving a hissing, smoking hole where it hit!

A humongous globule of the Deku Naga's acid finishes its ascending arch, and begins falling to the earth. It looks like it's going to strike Boom directly!

No-Point

The tunnel of writhing roots brings No-Point ever downwards. From what little you can see of the area outside, you are only a half-dozen yards above the ground. A fall from this height would be less fatal, but no less painful.

Suddenly, three loud explosions cause the tunnel to begin shaking violently! Some distance below you, a jet of acrid-smelling green fluid rushes up towards you, but is luckily diverted by a small hole in the tunnel. You guess that, whatever's at the bottom of this shaft, it's going to be more of that fluid.

(Since you are lower to the ground, the difficulty of the roll has been dropped. Score to beat: 20.
Deku Naga, Guardian of the Kokiri

The mighty beast swallows the bomb, but its foul saliva disables the explosive chemicals within the Bombchu's innards before it has a chance to explode!

The Deku Naga attempts to grin smugly. Of course, lacking lips, it grins in much the same way it's always grinned. It rolls Mycellium around on its tongue, attempting to find something resembling meat, but finds nothing. With a disgusted groan, it spits Mycellium out, sending it crashing into a shoddy market stall. Its preoccupation with the little Deku satisfied, the Deku Naga turns its attention to Boom once more.

The Deku Naga opts to disable Boom, by twisting a set of gnarled roots between his legs. With immense force, it hoists Boom up and flips him upside-down!

Aargh, Champion of the Kokiri

Aargh lets out a soft rattle as the last of his breath leaves his lungs.

At last, the champion is dead. With the last of his energy, he snaps his right hand's fingers.

Suddenly, the tangled network beneath No-Point's feet opens up and swallows him whole! No-Point is being dragged slowly downward through an immense hollow tube of writhing vines. Though the vines are fragile, to escape now would mean plummeting to sudden death. It would take a prodigious amount of luck to break free and survive the fall.

Roll 4d6 to save yourself from both the root network and the fall. Roll to beat: 22.
