Encounter - The Mushroom Kingdom

[malcolm_n]

- Read Aloud -
As you dispatch the last fungus monster, you catch a glimpse ahead of you. A larger creature, similar to the ones before, rests at the side of a pool of stagnant water. The creature is aware of your presence, but waits, as though it isn't sure exactly how to kill you.

- Stop Reading -

Any attempts the party makes at getting closer aggravate the creature and it charges forward. It starts combat by creating several medium-sized mushrooms in the area. Some of the mushrooms are dangerous to the touch (attack vs. reflex close burst 1, trigger: an enemy enters the burst area). The creature itself (level 18 solo brute) attacks mindlessly until killed. When bloodied, it will release spores which weaken members of the party until they attack a healthy mushroom (standard action, no roll). The mushrooms wither and die when the creature does.

After a long adventure fighting off goombas, turtles, and the many other horrors of this strange world, the Princess is finally saved. You stand before her, battle-scarred, waiting. She looks into your eyes with the deepest gratitude and you sense a powerful connection.
The time for your reward has come.
She reaches her hand under the clasp of her dress and... scratches an itch. She then plants a small kiss on your cheek, thanks you, turns, and walks away.

Oh, also for your fight, don't forget to give the monsters
Vulnerable 10: Jumping

Hehe, nice. This was actually a WoW reference for my april fools' dungeon in my blog; but reading it again, I can totally see how it would also work for Mario Bros.
