Patchy Quest One More Time: A Z-Machine Adventure

[UncertainJakutten]

>ACTIVATE FLAMING LEGOS OF FUCKWIN!
>"I'll show YOU bright and dirty!"

[Hello Purvis]

>ACTIVATE FLAMING LEGOS OF FUCKWIN!
>"I'll show YOU bright and dirty!"

>You gather a handful of Charred Legos of Fuckwin, and ignite them with a quick spell. Feeling proud of yourself for being able to focus in the face of the swarm, you throw then as hard as you can, with a sideways toss that spreads them out as much as possible.
>The Flaming Legos of Fuckwin fly through the bees, knocking some of the light creatures aside and setting some of them on fire. There is grim satisfaction in watching dozens of them fall to the ground and burn.
>There are only many thousands of them left to go.

>If in reach, pick up flaming burning bees, throw at bees
>Rinse and repeat
>"YOU BETTER BEE AFRAID YOU DAMNED INSECTS!"

[Jana]

>"YOU BETTER BEE AFRAID YOU DAMNED INSECTS!"

>Oh god, no bee puns. That's more embarrassing than a public "Mukyu!"

[Hello Purvis]

>If in reach, pick up flaming burning bees, throw at bees
>Rinse and repeat
>"YOU BETTER BEE AFRAID YOU DAMNED INSECTS!"

>You are too far away to pick up any flaming bees, but you could close the distance if you so desired.
>You can see the face in the swarm now, even more elongated and distorted than usual; you would not recognize it at all if you didn't know to look for it.

>Oh god, no bee puns. That's more embarrassing than a public "Mukyu!"

>It really is. But on the other hand, it beats paralyzation from abject terror.

[Kasu]

> "So...  Got any ideas Yuyuko?"
> Check on Sanae.  A miracle would be pretty damn nice right now.

[UncertainJakutten]

>Oh god, no bee puns. That's more embarrassing than a public "Mukyu!"

>I'm trying to use the Dashing Swordswoman Prestige class!
>Close distance, acquire FLAMING BEES OF FUCKWIN, fire at bees.

[Hello Purvis]

> "So...  Got any ideas Yuyuko?"
> Check on Sanae.  A miracle would be pretty damn nice right now.

>"We could always try to do something it wouldn't have any reason to expect," says Yuyuko, observing the swarm whilst covering her face with her fan.
>You glance back at Sanae. Thankfully, the swarm hasn't reached her yet. She still seems to be invoking.

>I'm trying to use the Dashing Swordswoman Prestige class!
>Close distance, acquire FLAMING BEES OF FUCKWIN, fire at bees.

>You dash forward, trying to ignore your wildly beating heart, all but dash into the swarm itself to scoop up one of the burning bees.
>"That could do!" says Yuyuko, following behind you
>Grabbing something that is on fire is not in the least a pleasant experience. You are all too happy to throw it away. It sails through the cloud and manages to ignite another bee.
>As you nurse your burnt hand, the swarm starts to close around you.
>"So...hap...py," says the horrible buzzing voice, now all around you.

>Set the wheel on fire and roll it through the swarm
>After you roll off the wheel, brandish Youmu's Shorter Sword at the bees

[UncertainJakutten]

>Apply AOL disk to sword to create SHORT BEESWATTER OF FUCKWIN!
> "Hohoho, happy are you? Well, I hope you hive a way to handle THIS!"
>Gain +1 circumstance bonus on attacks against bees.

[Kuma]

> Don't make any goddamn retarded bee puns.
> Place hand into a cluster of bees and use that igniteing spell to simulate EXPLOSION FISTS
> Don't let any bees under your robes!!

> Don't make any goddamn retarded bee puns.

>It really is. But on the other hand, it beats paralyzation from abject terror.

>Rest Case

[Kuma]

>Rest Case

> BRB, Useing that rope the parser offered orz

[Hello Purvis]

>Set the wheel on fire and roll it through the swarm
>After you roll off the wheel, brandish Youmu's Shorter Sword at the bees

>Thinking quickly, Invoke another fire spell and place it on the wheel. The fire spreads to it, though not as readily as it did to the legos. You roll it into the swarm, where it manages to hit and ignite some slow-flying bees.
>Your current condition is: Having trouble breathing.
>You then brandish Youmu's Short Blade, as the bees close in. It feels a little reassuring.

>Apply AOL disk to sword to create SHORT BEESWATTER OF FUCKWIN!
> "Hohoho, happy are you? Well, I hope you hive a way to handle THIS!"
>Gain +1 circumstance bonus on attacks against bees.

>You try to do this, and break the disk in half. Whoops!
>You declare your defiance to the swarm. It does not seem to have heard as far as you can tell.
>What is this +1 bullshit? There ain't none of that in text adventures! This is about cleverness and problem solving, not randomness! What is wrong with you!
>You catch a glimpse of Yuyuko out of the corner of your eye, engulfed in the swarm as well. She seems to be moving and spinning rapidly, doing her best to not to stay still and give them a target.

> Don't make any goddamn retarded bee puns.
> Place hand into a cluster of bees and use that igniteing spell to simulate EXPLOSION FISTS
> Don't let any bees under your robes!!

>You are too winded to cast again right now.
>You aren't sure you can stop the bees from getting in there.

[UncertainJakutten]

>Use Butterfly fan as a BEESWATTER!

[Hello Purvis]

>Use Butterfly fan as a BEESWATTER!

>You use the fan to try and swat away the bees. This leaves you with one hand to hold Youmu's Short Blade, and thus significantly less able to use it given your lack of sword skills.
>Suddenly feel a quite a bit of pain on your back.
>"It's...so cold," says the voice of the swarm. You think you can see the face not too far away.

>_

[Serela]

>Dash forward a second to get away from whatever bee just attacked you
>Put the fan away, concentrate on using the sword
>Try to imitate Yuyuko a little bit to become harder to hit
>...yeah, this isn't looking good. Lets see, can we think of 9 people to pray to? D:
>PLEASE SANAE FINISH SOON

[Hello Purvis]

>Dash forward a second to get away from whatever bee just attacked you
>Put the fan away, concentrate on using the sword
>Try to imitate Yuyuko a little bit to become harder to hit
>...yeah, this isn't looking good. Lets see, can we think of 9 people to pray to? D:
>PLEASE SANAE FINISH SOON

>You think it was quite a bit more than one bee that attacked you. Regardless, you dash forward, and start to spin and and move in hopes of keeping the bees away from you. Putting the fan away, and focus again on the sword and start to slash away, quietly hoping Yuyuko doesn't get too close to you.
>You can feel isolated stings on your arms and face, which are painful, but nowhere near as bad as the numerous sting from before. You also feel something warm and wet drop onto your face.
>You are lost in the swarm; it is too thick with bees to see anywhere. You try not to think about that too much, lest the terror set into your mind again.
>"It hurts..." says the voice of the swarm.

[Thata no Guykoro]

>Try gaining COURAGE via thoughts of Jeff, Kanako, Remilia, Yukari, Lyrica, Rinnosuke, and all the other people you've been meeting with. (Yes, even Sakuya).

[Hello Purvis]

>Try gaining COURAGE via thoughts of Jeff, Kanako, Remilia, Yukari, Lyrica, Rinnosuke, and all the other people you've been meeting with. (Yes, even Sakuya).

>This is more or less what you've been doing. But focusing on it again can't hurt.

[Serela]

>Are we still making ANY progress against the bees? This seems to be going pretty darn bad.
>Do we think Sanae is still preparing her miracle, or did the bees probably stop her by now?

[Hello Purvis]

>Are we still making ANY progress against the bees? This seems to be going pretty darn bad.
>Do we think Sanae is still preparing her miracle, or did the bees probably stop her by now?

>You don't think you're really doing more than mildly annoying the swarm at the moment. You are not able to see Sanae at all through the bees, you have no idea where she is or what she is doing. Hopefully, you and Yuyuko are occupying its attention.
>You are still lost within the swarm. You have no idea where Yuyuko is. You've managed to mostly fend off the bees by staying in motion and slashing wildly, but a few of them keep slipping through your defenses.

[Serela]

>Mukyu :<
>Continue our current actions until Sanae and her silver medal of courage  pull through and give us a miracle. And if they just don't after a while longer, just start praying to everyone in Gensokyo you can think of.

[Hello Purvis]

>Mukyu :<
>Continue our current actions until Sanae and her silver medal of courage  pull through and give us a miracle. And if they just don't after a while longer, just start praying to everyone in Gensokyo you can think of.

>You would Mukyu, but you really really don't want any bees in your mouth.
>Your arms and face are starting to grow sore from the stings. You feel a few more wet, warm things on your face, and on your hands. Try as you might, you cannot keep the bees at bay completely, you can only content yourself with Moving quickly enough to keep them from getting into your clothes.
>You see that the face is nearly, its eye distorting toward you as a as the swarm undulates.

[Chaore]

>Kill BEES GIYGAS and inherit the legend. Don't forget a hook.

[Hello Purvis]

>Kill BEES GIYGAS and inherit the legend. Don't forget a hook.

>I have exactly no idea what this means. Is this some sort of Turkish thing?

>_

[Chaore]

>Willy Wonka.

[Seian Verian]

> Wonder why voices are suddenly relatively silent
> ...Wonder how this is a bad thing.

[Hello Purvis]

> Wonder why voices are suddenly relatively silent
> ...Wonder how this is a bad thing.

>You do not know why it is not talking, perhaps its words have nothing to do with any kind of reality or outside stimulus as you understand it. Regardless, its "eye"; a tight mass of bees about as large as you are, is most definitely drawing toward you.
