me too

 

As you look at the Tooth Fairy she is a fully grown woman with a commanding presence. One moment child-like and the next an ascendant warrior-general. In a similar fashion the Easter Bunny now appears as a young, capable man, rapier on his hip a stern look on a powerful but lovely face. "While I am glad to have allies, I must know who you are? IF you know of the SM/WRS then you know that on this night they are in full action as are we."

 

This is where your dialog explaining who you are goes but in the spirit of progress...

 

"Very well. I will begin with the bad news, I don't know why the SM/WRS plant their scrying devices nor how much they use them. Nor do I think that there is much we can do to stop the use of their scrying devices in place. You could make a single, bold action into the SM/WRS compound and destroy what exists of the distribution of the SM/WRS as well as any nerve center for their scrying activities, which we believe flow through there. Or, you can enter my service, to be called up throughout the year to deal with challenges and issues as they arise."

 

Here is the real choice being offered here:

• On big, final fight - if you go back the SM/WRS HQ I'll come up with a fight scene to be player out in the next three days
• campaign hooks for all subsequent GMs -we can wrap this here and everyone can enjoy a weekend without needing to worry about this adventure. Any future GM now has the Tooth Fairy as an adventure hook to send you out to solve problems.

discuss as needed, let me know

I never back away from a fight! 

What do the others say?

I wouldn't normally back down from a fight either but I can't say that I've been that involved in this fight either.  I might have more time the next few days to actually get a workout in but I'd also be fine using this for future adventures.  

 

I guess I'll have to defer to the group.

No!!  You can't take my plan!

 

I feel like I've been making a lot of decisions recently, so I'd planned to leave this one up to the rest of the party.

  In that case, we'll sit on the sidelines together and see how the rest of the group feels....  if all else fails, Terah represents the group.

How did I get into this?!

 

More importantly, how do I get out of it!

Terah runs back to the sleigh and rides it back to the doodlies castle. There she runs inside, to her room, and hides under the covers of her bed.

 

You can call me when you're ready to fight. I'll give you a lift in my sleigh  Otherwise, I'm staying right here until the next adventure comes around.

Is now a good time to point out that you took a sleigh enabled with a tracking device to the Doodlie castle?  I'm pretty sure hiding there won't work anyway.

Uhm, I disabled the tracking device first?

I have a level 2 in mechanics, so that must be easy, right?

Maybe.  How's the wiring diagram for that GPS look?  

 

Sorry.  I'm in an ornery mood.

It'll be a tough fight, they're on high alert this time of the year. Besides, the scrying devices will remain in place anyway. Communications center can be rebuilt and all our work will be undone or worse, someone else could jump in and take control of the network in place (cue Batman scene). We gotta take this operation down slow and methodical if we want to make any lasting difference.

 

Someone had to call the shots and make that decision I suppose

We can take over control and become the new SW/MRS. That would be cool

[Lara]

I'm sorry I'm not being active at all. This challenge is being a mess.

On my side, I agree with @DarK_RaideR, partly because he gives good reasons, partly because I don't see myself being able of doing any workouts right now, so I could not join you in the fight.

[Terah]

So I guess we are saving the fight for an other day

 

Terah crawls back from under the covers and uses the sleigh to pick up all her friends. Back in the Doodlie Castle a Perkele party* commences

Naturally, I googled "random dance gifs".  The results did not disappoint.

The best of both worlds then...

 

The Tooth Fairy watches the conversation in silence. As the group arrives at the consensus to not perform a suicide run on the SM/WRS HQ she seems to nod. "It is good that you don't value your lives cheaply. I have given you a stone of far speech that I or my officers will use to call upon you. You must learn more of what the SM/WRS are doing. While time is not short, the longer this goes on the harder it will be to undo."

 

The next moment the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny are simply gone. Any who checks their pockets or pouches will find a single stone of far speech, attempting to use it does nothing. Terah feels that her spell to change the color of the armor you were given is broken. Looking around everyone is still in the tartan the spell has overlaid on the fabric. It appears to actually be the color of the clothes.

 

The group heads down the stairs and into the entryway. The intense woman is still at the front desk. She holds out a scroll case to the group, allowing someone to take it. 

 

As the group makes their way out through the main gates there is a noise from the road "GRRAAAHHH" and a wet smack to your right. From the woods step enormous, shaggy, white beasts. Behind the the first red of sunrise is creeping over the tops of the trees. You hear Pendelton say "Oh my.The snowmen? Here?" Immediately after you hear sudden sobbing to your right, where the smack was heard. A glance tells you that one of the guards to your right is becoming an ice sculpture in a matter of seconds.

 

As the beasts pile out of the woods the charge the gates in a V formation...

 

I couldn't resist a final fight scene. We don't have a ton of time left in the challenge (I think it ends on Sunday) so we won't do hours of work, we'll do it like this:

To earn a "credit" you have to do work, melee work is done with slow lifts where ranged requires explosive movement. Below are suggestions but I'll be happy to let you use other exercises

Melee - presses (push up, standing press, bench press), Squat (goblet squat, barbell squat), Row (barbell, dumbell, TRX)

Ranged - cleans, snatches, jump squats, jerks, clap push ups

Magic (including healing) - meditation, learning

 

Melee and Ranged are counted by reps where magic is counted by minutes

The first "credit" is a single minute but each credit doubles from there, so your second credit is two then four, eight, sixteen and so on,

The guards will fight with you but you have 15 snowmen who will be coming at you. Each snowman takes 2 hits to kill. These are an assault force that the SM/WRS have sent to the castle to try and kill or capture whomever is there and messing with their Holidazzle rounds.

And here I was gonna do 1RM's at the gym tonight.  lol.  Can I do that and just have Max melee attack instead of me?  If not I can certainly do something else.

yeah. This is always my frustration with prescribed movements/ reps being what counts. 

Since you're doing a max effort lift, let's say you do a single massive attack. What's you previous PR, what do you think that you'll PR and what lift?

Well, I don't actually know my previous PR.  It's been over a year since I tested it and I kinda forgot.  lol.  

 

Deads: I currently do sets of 5x5 at 225.  I'm shooting for at least 275 on the 1RM.  I'd really like to get 315, but I don't want to hurt myself. 

 

Squats: I suck at these (and bench).  Currently doing 5x5's at ~135-140.  I'm shooting for 150-160 for the 1RM.  MAYBE but probably not.  

 

Bench: I suck again! Basically the same as squats for this one.  

[The Most Loathed]

Dead: 255 = 1 hit, 270 = 1 additional hit (2 total), 275, 295, 305, 315, are each one additional hit

Squat and Bench 150,160, 170, 180, 185

That gives you the opportunity to make 15 hits with one workout. That's half the total damage needed to end the encounter. You can do regular stuff for more hits tomorrow.

I suspect that you're going to surprise yourself on either the bench or the squat. If you're repping 140, then I believe you could do 160 on a bad day.

It may be dangerous to give me that many hits for one workout.  Now I'm gonna try to hit all those super big numbers!  I have a feeling I'm going to be really sore tomorrow.
