40 extra minutes of yoga for me today, not sure how many rounds of workout that counts for.

Sorry, that doesn't count for this challenge (you can use it to level up your psyche or magic skill). Do you happen to count the portions of freggies (fruits and veggetables) you ate yesterday?

You know what, I'm just going to assume that you got at least 5 portions of freggies yesterday, so I can close this story

Conclusion

 

Shello, Def and Liam fought with all their strength against Edwas. Philia had stopped playing her accordeon as it became obvious it had no effect. Even after Def got blinded she managed to hit Edwas because of sheer luck. But in the confusion she also hit the chest. Damaging it badly.

After a long and intense battle they finally got Edwas on his knees. He ordered Philia to take them out of there, but after a few blows she got herself she wasn't able to. Shello walked towards the chest and shouted "Victory!" Than she paused to look at the damaged chest.

That was Berny's cue: he came out of hiding "That was AMAZING! You guys are the best!" He is jumping up and down with excitement and starts to hug all of you.

Suddenly the Great Yak appears in the laboratory. Berny's eyes become huge and he falls to his knees. His chin drops and he's not able to speak anymore.

"Well done my Champions" The Great Yak looks pleased "It was touch and go for a moment, but you managed to complete the quest." He bows his head, and when he looks up again Def's vision is restored.

He looks at the chest "It got damaged! This was not the outcome I was hoping for." The Great Yak looks disappointed "O well, I'll have one of my servants repair it."

He turns to Berny "As for you young man, you  have proven yourself to be my a true servant. I'll be back for you when you come of age." Berny starts to tremble. It's clear that he is very pleased to hear that.

The Great Yak walks towards the chest. 

Edwas: "You stupid Yak. That's mine now!"

"Be quiet" The Great Yak tells him.

"I won't be quiet. My wife is dead because of you. I deserve compensation!"

"If anyone is responsible for your wife's death, it's you." The Great Yak looks at him with pity "It was your choice to marry someone that didn't believe in me, and denounce me yourself when she asked you to. Did you really think I would take you back after you killed her yourself?"

Edwas looks really upset now "But that proofed that I love you more than my wife! You had to take me back!"

"No, this only proves that you are a very mad man. You are going to be locked up in the dungeons of the Yak Castle for all eternity."

 

A bright light blinds you. When you can see again you are all back at the doodlie castle. The Great Yak, Edwas, Philia and Berny are not with you anymore.

 

Ryuu, the floor is yours  

[Shello]

Before the Great Yak sends us home I thank Berny for his help and ask for my gimp mask back.

Sorry for not helping in the final battle I was pre-occupied with real life craziness from a professional development conference I was attending and then the hurricane fallout, so I wasn't able to get online very much these past few days. New story on the way:

[Ryuu1011]

Ch 1. Red Snow

Not long after all the doodles are transported back into the castle there is another blinding flash of light only this time the light is an intense red and is exceptionally painful. Eyes still raw and stinging it is hard to see anything at all right now. As you try to open your eyes right now everything looks just red and blurry. You think you're in a field of some kind and there might be something in the distance but with the pain in your eyes and the disorientation from the teleportation it is hard to keep them open to determine what anything is. All you know is that you a definitely not in the Doodle castle anymore. 

 

You feel a chill upon the back of your neck as a fresh flake of snow drifts down onto it and you hear a crunching sounds as you begin to stand and try and regain your bearings. As the pain begins to leave your eyes and you're able to open them for longer stretches of time you realize that you are standing in a snow field at night...and most of the snow in the field is splashed with red. Looking deeper though the freshly falling snow and moon light you observe some mountains and a lake in the distance and by the foot of the mountains what appears to be a small village. Though as soon as you begin to wonder how far away the town is you notice that patches of the snow around you are beginning to swell and bubble. Something is emerging from the snow. 

Within a few seconds the snow collapses from either side of one of the bubbles and a figure begins crawling out of the red snow. It appears to be some kind of skeleton machine clawing its way to the surface. You see wires and tubes wrapped around its skull and from inside of it's eye sockets glows bright crimson eyes that could send a chill up even the most hardened of warrior's hearts. Thicker tubes and wires intertwine with its ribs and a deep red glow comes from its mechanical "heart". Where its hands should have been are long sharp claws that it is using to draw itself from underneath the snow. Quickly glancing from side to side you can tell that these creatures are emerging from all of the bubbles in the snow. You quickly estimate that there must be 10-15 of these creatures about to be on top of you. 

 

So do you run towards the village or stand your ground and fight these skeletal demons? The first doodle(s) to respond will decide if the whole group fights or flees and I will give instructions for what you'll need to do accordingly. Also if you're using Taptalk I don't think you'll be able to see the cool (lol pun) pictures that accompany the story so you may want to check them out from the regular forums online.

Doodlies aren't really known for running away.  I think we'll fight these here rather than lead them to a defenseless, presumably, village.

You beat me to it. I was going to say exactly the same #DoodlieHiveMind

In this case it was an easy decision.

This will not be an easy battle the doodles think to themselves but we don't run away from a challenge! The doodles draw their weapons and prepare for the cold embrace of the skeletons. The few that have already emerged charge towards the doodles while others still scrape and claw at the snow and ice around them. Their glowing red eyes blurring as they run towards you and moonlight shining off their alabaster white bones and gray steel. 

 

Physical Battle: You have three choices 

Beginner (Attacking the skeletons that haven't emerged from the snow/ still coming up) (8 of these remain)

Intermediate (Attacking the Skeletons that are about 1/2 out/ still crawling out ) (6 of these remain)

Advanced (Taking on the few that are completely out of the snow) (3 of these remain)

 

There are 17 skeletal monsters in total, you can kill one skeleton per round you complete of at least that skeleton's skill level (i.e. you can kill any skeleton by doing the advanced workout, but you can only kill one of the 6 beginner skeletons with the beginner workout). Advanced and Intermediate skeletons will deal "damage" every 6 hours starting at the time of this posting and 1 skeleton from beginner or intermediate will move up one rank (chosen at random) as they continue to claw their way out of the snow. This will continue until either the skeletons or the doodles are dead. So no time frame, but the skeletons will get harder to defeat and deal more damage as the battle rages. 

 

Other ways to help:

Cast Magic for Battle: For every 30 min of yoga you can try to defeat X Beginner Skeletons, for every 60 min you can try to defeat X intermediate, for every 90min you can try to defeat X Advanced Skeleton(s) where X is = to your magic skill + 1.  (Remember for your magic to work will depend on your Psyche) 

Heal your companions/ Patch Wounds Received: You can help heal of the wounds by counting the number of servings of fresh fruits and veggies you've eaten. For every 3 servings the doodles track 1 skeleton's damage will be repaired. 

Critical Hit: Each Doodle can perform 1 critical hit on a skeleton of any level by cleaning their bathroom once in this fight. To choose this option you must post a picture when you're finished (pics or it didn't happen  )

-----------------

@deftona begins playing and yellow streaks of light emit from her ocarina and flow over the doodles, they begin to glow with a faint yellow light and can feel strength and power coming from the battle song of the Great Yak. 

 

Because of Deftona's battle song, for the first 6 hours of this fight every time you would kill 1 skeleton you will slay an extra 1 as well (i.e. double damage for 6 hours)

I'll have to wait until I get home from work for this.

Can these be scaled to ability?

Is this a critical hit per bathroom or per household?  Please say per bathroom

And is this also doubled by Def's battle song?

Does getting my kids to clean theirs count? That's harder than doing it myself.

Thanks

Scaled to ability in what way? if you're meaning that you can't do a full piston squat and want to instead do an assisted piston on a piston get up, then yes that kind of modification is fine or you can't do a 1 handed push up on the floor so you need to do one inclined or against a wall, that would be a fine mod too. 

 

Nope just one critical hit per character for this one, so one bathroom per character ( I forget that people have more than just one bathroom I live in a tiny apartment >_< hahaha) But yes if you can get it clean by within the 6 hour (now 5 hour time window) it will count x2

Sure that's reasonable.

One intermediate workout done (3 rounds) and one bathroom clean(complete with Halloween decorations)

I intended to do a beginner workout too but I feel a migraine coming so I'm going to take it easy. I might change my mind. We'll see.

Lady Shello rages into battle swinging her sledgehammer around crushing skeleton after skeleton exploding their heads as wires and sparks fly from their skulls and fall like the snow. Six Intermeidate skeletons lie motionless in the snow sparks sputtering from their broken bodies. (0 Intermeidate Skeletons remain for now) As her rage subsides she is taken aback by two charging skeletons. The first skeleton jumps and tries to rend Shello with its claws but she agilely sides steps and reaches into its ribcage and grabs at its mechanical heart. In a feat incredible brute strength she crushes the pulsing red device with her hand and flings the skeleton towards the other. In a look of utter shock the first skeleton looks down in bewilderment, it glowing red eyes wide, as its heart which pulses one last time and then explodes in a blinding flash of red light. When you look back all that remains of the two skeletons are stumps of their feet smoldering in the charred snow (1 Advanced Skeleton remains)

I love the halloween decorations!  

 

No decorations here, but look at this baby shine  

 

And I love this format for battles! I'm totally going to steal that if I'm DM'ing again  

[Terah]

If my calculations are correct there are only 4 beginner skeletons left?

*off to do some magic*  

[Terah]

30 minutes of yoga done

 

I just remembered I forgot about the dubble damage because of Def's octarina. Does this mean we've killed them all?

 

ETA: no, that was just for the first 6 hours. We still got one skeleton left I guess

[ExpectJade]

Is there still some room for me to jump in?
