No, attempting to use myself as BAIT to use someone ELSE as a lockpick. BIG difference.

Not the best moment for our heroes.

Space Jawa tries to figure out how to hijack the airship, but it simply looks impregnable. It's bristling with weaponry like a pissed off porcupine. With weaponry!

JKLantern studies the lock on the pipe amidst the chaos and finds that it's shaped in such a way that even he could not pick it by virtue of becoming a lockpick. Even if he wriggled really, really hard. Even if he lured other enemies to use! This sucker needs a key.


Wade flaps his arms. A cool breeze gratifies some nearby battling troops.

CharlesX hollers to Pax. "YOPAXYAGOTTASTERDATHINGPAXYAGOTTASTEERDATHING"

Pax takes the cue and stabilizes the cloud. He aims it straight towards the MagiKoopa.

BANZAAAAAAAAAAIIIII! he screams.

Not because of his attack.

But because of the huge Banzai Bill the airship fired towards him!

He tries valiantly to pull out of his attack, but the Bill strikes his cloud, sending Pax hurtling towards the wild fighting below.

Meanwhile, Boy Blunder flips off a Bullet Bill. It sneers and charges him, but he manages to get out of its flight path. The Bullet Bill crashes into the Chain Chomp, and both hit the ground, stunned.

A Glowing, Pipe Shaped Key Shaped Like a Pipe appears over the Chain Chomp. Blunder looks up and sees Pax hurtling right at him.

Blunder and CharlesX got an XP this round. Blunder now has enough XP to raise a stat or he can continue saving for an Attribute.

I will increase my muscle by one.

Question. Should I try to be a hero and save Pax? Or should I merely dodge?

Don't worry, I'll just try and land with a forward roll or something so I don't get hurt.

Then I'll just dodge spectacularly, and land perfectly in position to grab the key. (body)

I must say, at this time, I'm more in favor of us all going down the pipe together.

I'm most in favor of us murdering the army.

Question: Is TBB on the hill?

He's by the foliage, which is pretty close to the hill.

Would I be able to theoretically land in a roll and bowling ball myself into the Koopa Troopas?

I just want to know if I have the incline of the hill on my side.

It's probably doable.

Sounds good!

I'm going to try and tuck, roll, and send myself crashing into the squad of Goombas! (Body)

I wonder if I should use my attribute. Though maybe I can find out more information on the mechakoopa.

I have no idea what your attribute would actually do...

Could find out?

You could murder something, that always sounds like fun! I've a good feeling that we should use the bean to climb ourselves up to the skyboat.

Hey Jack, any chance I can get my cloud back?

Jack, any chance I can go super saiyan?
