Link put away his sword for a moment and put his shield away as Penny called him out on splitting up. He ran a hand against the back of his head and sighed. He could not really expect everyone to know basic strategy it seems. He gave a sigh before turning around.

"You are right. Maybe a trap could be waiting for one of us. We could end up in a bad situation with no support. Together we are definitely a stronger team after all. Maybe we are better off altogether. You know, where we can have eachother's backs. Protecting each other sounds nice doesn't it? Being there in case something goes wrong for our allies? Sounds like an philosophy you should not go against, right?" Link began.

"Well... I am afraid it does not really work like that. You see, here is the flaws if we went down the same path. What if something bad happens to me, right? Well, what if something bad happens to ALL of us. It's a really big risk to send all your troops the same path. What if something happens to them? Then they would have no backup to get them out. Sure, split up the chances of rescue would be delayed but it would be significantly higher. Additionally, there is a large number of enemies. We need to split up and share the load to take them all down. If we all get in the middle of a swarm we have smaller odds than if someone can break through the back. What if there is some trap and only the other side could break you out? Well, we did not send anyone that way. We all walked into the together. That means we are trapped together. See what I mean now?" Link continued to address Penny's explanation.

He could see she really did not like the concept of splitting up. He could not tell why but he had to make sure they were on the same page. It seemed Link knew a lot about tactics and the like. He lived in war as a powerful and skilled general. He did not have some Triforce that gave him Wisdom and magical powers. Nor did he have some Triforce that gave him Power and extremely powerful magic. No, his Triforce gave him the Courage needed to do what needed to be done. He was not like most of his friends that had super special powers. He relied on his own tools, wits, skills and tactics.

"Here, take this," Link added as he tossed some kind of crest to Penny. It looked like the Crest of Hyrule. "That will allow us to stay in contact. If anything happens and you need help, it will let me know. I can also do the same thing and it will send you my voice. That way we can contact our support if we need it. Just remember to give it back to me after the mission, okay? It's... Kind of my only spare... I'll call or meet up with you if you find anything!" Link called before doing a spinning jump to turn around and go off after he gave his lecture to Penny.

[Deleted]

Penny watched as Daisy said that this mission was not a horror movie, It was more like an action movie. "No, It's not like any movie, If we split up, something bad will happen to Link...Since he will be alone and he could easily get grabbed, smashed, shot or fall Into lava this castle has In store for us." Penny said to Daisy as she looked back down at Link, who gave her a very long lecture about splitting up, asking If she understood what she said. "No...I don't, again this Is a very bad idea either way Link." Penny said to Link as he decided to give Penny his crest.

"Thanks, I'll use It If something goes wrong...Just be careful ok?" Penny said to Link as she put the crest In her pocket and turned back towards Daisy. "Shall we go down this path?" Penny said to Daisy as she walked down the other path of the castle.

"Let's see what this castle has for us."

Damage: 30%

Daisy rolled her eyes as she realized just how false Links reputation of being a strong Silent hero turned out to be.
"If I didn’t know better I’d say you Didn’t want to rescue us poor damsels in distress from danger where or whenever it lurks." She teased, posing dramatically like her friend Peach.

"Cool is that like a Hylian a walky-talky or something?" Daisy asked, curiously inspecting the crest.
"Testing, testing, Bellis to Chain, Bellis to Chain, come in Chain Over." Daisy called into the crest, already eager to test if it works.

"Come on Penny, we’ll be fine. Like I said, even if we can’t trust the hero of dimes over here, you can still trust me to have your back." Daisy reassured her confidently. 
"As another green hero who talks too much would say, Let’s a Go!"

"Chain? Why am I chain?" Link's voice said confused out of the magic symbol. The path they had to go down was a long dark brick hall with several doors along the walls. It seemed to go on for quite a while and there seemed to be several traps like a Ball and Chain and lava holes. The hall seemed to branch off to several directions with 2 doors on both sides to total 4 rooms so far. Of course, there may be more further on. Unfortunately there was no indication of what was behind each door without a peek. To get further in, they need to pass a lava pit.

(Daisy and Penny! There are 4 doors on this side of the hall, being lower right, lower left, upper right, and upper left, with lower being the closer ones. To get further down the hall you must roll a 12 or higher in STR to jump the Lava Pit. If you fail, you will fall in and take 25% damage. If one of you fails, the other can roll a 12 or higher in DEX to catch the other and protect them from damage.)

[Deleted]

As the girls were walking, Link spoke out of the crest, making Penny look down. "Link, Is everything ok on your end...Link?" Penny said as she looked back up and saw four doors In front of her. "Four doors, which ones do we want to take...After we cross that lava pit." Penny said pointing to the lava pit In front of her and Daisy, before Daisy could have a chance to say anything, Penny ran towards the pit and tried to jump over It.

"Well, If life gives you a deadly pit, you jump over It!"

And thus Penny tried to jump and reach to the other side to the four doors.

iNHqVo41p_1d20+4(Just barely Penny.)

Penny made It to the edge of the pit, she almost slipped yes but she managed to catch her footing and had properly made It to the otherside. That just left Daisy, who Penny turned towards and looked, quickly looking down at the crest before looking back at Daisy, since Link did not say anything to her question...Next.

"Whelp, I almost fell and could of died, but I didn't like most of my adventures, your turn Daisy."

"Bellis to Chain, It’s a riddle for you to solve you’re all alone out there, Over.” Daisy giggled into her crest, coyly not bothering to explain the meaning of Link's code name.
Daisy and Penny made their way together through a long dark brick hall with several doors along the walls. This hall lead them to a lava pit that they needed to cross.

"Good job Penny!" Daisy congratulated from across the pit. "Now check This out!" She boasted as she went a ways back for a running start.
Half way between her starting point and the lava pit she started doing gymnastic flips, climaxing in a series of areal flips over the lava pit.

(HBNeb|gwp_1d20+2 Daisy's flips over the pit)

And Daisy stuck the landing. Even took a bow and everything.
"I competed in the Olympics y’know.~" Daisy went on to brag with a wink.

"Let’s see… Four doors with only one right answer. Daisy pondered, observing the doors. "It’s going to take a very delicate technique of regal decision making to decide which door to take." She nodded in confirmation. Daisy took a deep breath and began her deciding ritual.

"Eenie-Meenie-Minie-Mo Catch-a-Princess-By-The-Toe If-She-Hollers-Mario Eennie-Meenie-Minie-Mo Daisy chanted as she rhythmically pointed between the doors one by one. "My-Toad-Told-Me-To-Pick-The-Very-Best-One-And-You-Are-It~"

"This one." Daisy finally pointed to the 2nd door. "Come on, Penny!"

Daisy decided for door number two and perhaps it did hold something of importance. "Everything's fine here. I think I am close to finding where they are keeping the animals. See if you can find that key," Link replied. Suddenly, as Daisy went to approach the door, there was a sudden shaking tremor that would put the two offbalance for a moment. Immediately afterwards the door came flying right at Daisy to clock her on the head!

(Daisy! The door is flying right at you! Roll a 14 or higher to get out of the way in time. Failure results in 15% damage.)

Dust built up in the hall from where the door was thrown at Daisy. If one kept a close eye, they would see a small amount of movement in the dust cloud. It was not quite enough to make out the exact figure though. Suddenly, a large spiked club came out of the dust and made to knock Penny into the wall with brutal force!

(Penny! The brutal club sneak attack is attempting to hit you. It is slow enough though that seeing it coming allows plenty of time to dodge. Roll a 14 or higher in Wisdom to avoid the brutal attack. Getting hit deals 25% damage to you.)

The dust settled after the surprise strikes to reveal a large creature. He looked incredibly strong and could take quite the beating. However, he did not seem to look so bright and he looks built more for muscle than speed. It will take overwhealming him to take this monster down.

"Ok Link, stay safe." Penny said to Link as she put the crast away as she watched Daisy attempt to dodge the door, after the door has been removed Penny saw an incoming enemy...Who was very large and was holding a malice, in fact said malice was heading towards Penny for a chance to hit her and send her towards the nearby wall.

"Malice!"


mdqqPvJLp_1d20+0(Nope...Never stood a chance.)

Penny was sent towards the nearby wall, only for her to quickly get up and fire her pistol at the goblin like dog thing as she said a few simple words at It.

"This Is what happens If you mess with my face!"

Daisy braced herself, not losing her footing for a second when the tremor struck. Looking in every direction for the source of the tremor, Daisy couldn’t expect the next danger would be right in front of her.

"Well That was a rude way to answer a door! Daisy complained while getting back onto her feet and dusting herself off. This was only the beginning of the rudeness as whoever burst open the door knocked Penny right into the wall.

"Penny!” Daisy cried as she rushed to her side "Are you okay?” She asked as she knelt down to tend to her.

"Okay that does it!” Daisy snapped as he looked back up at Big Blin.
"What do we look like? Unova’s Witnesses?”
Daisy was already too upset with this creature to be intimidated by its large size or strength
"Looks like we’re gonna have to spread the good news all over your face and teach you how to answer a door!”

Daisy jumped up at the enemy commander’s face and proceeded to punch him side to side right on the muzzle.
"Knock Knock!”

The first shot from Penny hit the Big Blin but did not seem to phase him much if not at all. It would seem this guy is a powerful tank that can take blows hard if they are not strong enough. However, the next two shots were enough to pierce the hide of the slow beast. Daisy's first floral fist landed on the simple minded beast but did not phase him that much and he somehow lumbered out of the way of the followup. The next fist was not enough to damage the monster's thick body either it would seem. The kick was also easily evaded by him with little effort.

(Big Blin's Special Trait Discovered, Tough Hide: All damage from attacks rolled a 16 or lower deal half their normal amount.)

The Big Blin has taken some nasty punishment and now it was his turn to dish it back out. He wound up his club before swinging it so hard a beam came out of the club and right at Daisy.

(Daisy! The Big Blin is trying to Club Beam you! Roll a 14 or higher to evade! Failure results in 22% damage)

While Daisy was distracted by that attack, the Big Blin made his move. He reached out to grab Penny by the collar and hoist her into the air. If his grab connected, it looked like breathing and attacking would be difficult. Also, while he seemed extremely slow, his grip looked like nothing to laugh at.

(Penny! The Big Blin is attempting to grab you forcefully! Roll a 14 or higher to dodge! If you fail, you take 10% damage and are lifted up and unable to do much. It requires a whopping 18 or higher DEX/STR to break free from his grasp and can only be tried once per turn. Failure to break free results in 5% damage with it doubling with each failed attempt. If the Big Blin takes enough damage, he will also drop you)

After Penny shot a few shots at the big blim which she managed to do a good damage on It's hide, she watched as Daisy helped her after getting hit In the face by a malice and did not received any life changing injurys from the attack for some reason, Penny watched Daisy attack It. "Good job Daisy, you go girl!" Penny said to Daisy as the princess got distracted, and soon the big blim ran over to her and grabbed her.

"Not today...Dog guy?"


yiZ_0b2Qp_1d20+4(She...Got hit again.)

Penny was grabbed and smashed Into the roof, but she tried to break free from the monsters grip...Kind of.

Penny had difficult moving...And breathing, she tried to call out to Daisy from down below, while trying to escape the monster.

"Daisy, a little help here, If your not too busy yourself!"

After checking with her knuckles and failing to examine with her legs, Daisy noticed Big Blim was a big beast with thick skin. She had to adjust her strategy accordingly. Or she would right after Big Blim Club Beamed her.

(UjNucPi1p_1d20+3 Daisy's Tango Tussle Dodge.)

Daisy back flipped out the way of Big Blin’s swipe in a manner that she’d make sure not to skip when telling this story later.

"I can tell we’ve got a Lot of manners to teach you!”
Daisy growled at the Big Blin before opening her eyes and noticing Big Blim had Penny smashed into the roof.
"Hey! No! Bad Dog! You Let Go Of Her Now!” Daisy ordered as she activated Competitive Spirit,
(Competitive Spirit grants her a +1 attack buff against the last enemy to attack her.)

Armed with the extra strength, she wound up a Sporty Swing and let loose on Big Blim’s shins.

The Golf Club's impact with the rough hide of the Big Blin did not seem to phase him much. His tough skin taking the blow with such raw power. He continued to hold Penny up in a very rough way despite Daisy's attempts to get him to not pick on the girl. It would take more force to break her free. Worst yet, her struggles and calls were rapidly draining her air supply in the monster's hold.

(Penny! Your struggles against the Big Blin is making it harder to breathe! His tight grip will suffocate you the more and more you struggle. The damage has raised to 10% if you fail to break free.)

The Big Blin raised his club arm at Daisy to show he was paying her no mind. In the next he brought the spiked club down!... Right in front of her... It missed? He was inadvertently slamming Penny against the ground and kind of holding there pinned while he tried but... Is there a cracking sound?

As cliche as it was, the Big Blin was not aiming for Daisy at all. He was aiming to break the floor right underneath her! The floor quickly crumbled into a lava pit that Daisy would fall into if she was not fast enough. Someone should really maintain this castle better...

(Daisy! The Big Blin is trying to make you fall into a pit of lava! Good news, cartoon physics will allow you to bounce out. Bad news, it will still deal 25% damage and leave you burned. It can not be blocked. Roll a 12 or higher in Wisdom to get out of the way by noticing the floor damage)

While Daisy's attempts to free her seemed moot, Penny was struggling to breath, she looked down at Daisy and tried to call down to her. "Breath...Cant, feel It!" Penny said to Daisy as she tried to break free the Big Blim and fight back...In the best way possible. Penny tried to break free from the monsters grip.

Penny broke free from the grip and landed In front of the Big Blim, she quickly took out her pistol and fired It at the monster for vengeance.

Not one to give up, Daisy wound up to hit Big Blim again with another sport stick.
However, the rude Blin paid her more disrespect by smashing the floor below her.

(Eb|S3eM_p_1d20-1 Daisy's Wise enough to look down.)

Daisy looked down at the spiked club as it missed her and smashed the floor beneath her.
With the nimble platforming of any plumber that might save her, Daisy jumped to safety.

"Who do I look like to you? Bowser?”

As stubborn as the King of the Koopas himself, Daisy picked up where she left off and wound up her sports stick.

(p_1d20+4 Daisy's Sporty Swing at Big Blim. Does 20% Damage)

This time it was aimed with intention. Daisy was trying to push Big Blin into the same hole he made.
Finally having a chance to recover and acknowledge Penny’s compliment, Daisy blushed with a big grin.

"Well what can I say? We princesses can’t let ourselves get kidnapped All the time!” she shrugged cockily.
