> Make his way back into the fire and douse the flames. (Gooble)

You suck up just enough water and barely make it back before the flames spread, but your aim is good and the fire is doused.

[Oggy123]

Gooble turns back into his boy form. "Whew!"

He looks back. "Maybe we should go back to town before something bad happens!"

Maple's Putting Adventure 2023

1. We'll start simple: across a 15-foot span of river (no bridge)
This one's easy, Maple winds up for a power shot and whacks the ball as hard as he can.

2. Straight up into the crown of a mature redwood
That's a little harder, even the most power of power shots can't quite make it that far. Maple recruits his bug friends and tells them to grab the ball once it reaches the apex of the shot to carry it the rest of the way, then hits the ball directly upward with all his might.

3. Hitting five different obstacles, then passing through a windmill feature that's turning so that the windmill blades don't stop it from going through
Hmm, this one's complicated... ah-ha! The dung beetles yes he definitely recruited some dung beetles shut up will roll the ball through this course perfectly!

Maple's Putting Adventure on the Canadian Sports Network, Sponsored by the Canadian Maple Syrup Reserve

Maple earns a 9 on the first hole, a 4+3 on the second for insect affinity, and 10+1 for insect affinity on the third hole, earning him a total of 27 points

Not a bad shot at all across the river! Has he played mini golf before?

Excellent use of his insect friends on the second hole, they know just how to carry things up a tree. It is a little tricky and heavy for them, but they get there without much problem.

The dung beetles work even better. They even roll the ball to each of the obstacles. Impressive little guys. When they finally roll the ball past the windmill, that hole is gonna smell like dung for a while... but it got the job done, right?

The Bootlegger joined the Anomaly Gang... but decided to not get involved in any arguments for now. But she decides to...

"...So let's continue towards the anomaly. Let's see just what this thing is... Though I wouldn't be surprised if it was just some trick that old guy had set up, for pay, of course."

[Caret]

"If this so-called "anomaly" really was dangerous, I'm sure the government would have blocked off access to it by now, huh?"

Golfing for Beginners

1. We'll start simple: across a 15-foot span of river (no bridge)
"The good news is that I do have a sort of iron that could be used in golfing. The bad news is that it might not be ideal. A 9MM pistol. Shoot the ball, knocking it up into the sky and into the hole."

2. Straight up into the crown of a mature redwood
"Hm…how about using a bit of pyrokinesis to make that redwood a bit easier to shoot into? Parasite powers sure do come in handy."
3. Hitting five different obstacles, then passing through a windmill feature that's turning so that the windmill blades don't stop it from going through

"The last bit will be the easiest to deal with. Clear the blades with a grenade launcher, then take the shot as normal. I have faith in my minigolfing abilities."

Golfing with Aya on the Military Channel?

Aya has rolled 3+2 for good marksmanship on the first hole, 10 on the second hole, and 2+2 on the third hole for determination. This gives her a score of 19 points.

Good thing she has plenty of ammo. Despite being a good shot, it takes a bit of work to get the ball over the river and into the first hole.

She manages to burn down the entire redwood tree... ouch. Technically she got the ball into the ashes of the tree? Careful she doesn't burn down the whole forest.

Finally, she has some trouble with the grenade launcher method. She takes out the windmill blades, but still has to touch each of the obstacles first, which it doesn't help with. She seems a bit frustrated at the end.

Congratulations to Catar, winner of the Murderverse Falls Mini-Golf Challenge, with 29 points! They will get the very cushiest accomodations in camp, which incidentally has more security than the rest of the cabins.

[Kennifer]

"Yay, we have a winner!" Mavis claps excitedly and hands Catar the key to the fancy cabin. It has a bigger TV with a full cable and streaming package, stocked mini-fridge, king size bed, and posted security guards.

[PointMaid]

OOC: Incidentally, we also talked to Risdio about his application. I apologize since this is something I probably should have caught at sign-up: he mentioned 'fun and whacky JRPG' stuff as part of Aya's powers, which is pretty non-specific. We realized this was a bit of an issue after he used pyrokinesis in his challenge, not specifically mentioned. We let it go for the challenge, but going forward we're asking him to onlyuse special abilities that were specifically mentioned in his sign up, rather than things that could be JRPG stuff but weren't specified. Thanks to Ris for understanding, and thanks to you all for bearing with us.

[PointMaid]

Booker grins. Nice work!

[Risdio51]

"…yeah, congrats. That cabin sure seems nice…"

[awe921]

"Oh, I won. Sweet, thanks-"

Catar fumbles with the keys, before just catching the keyring by her mouth. Right. Onto the luxury cabin, she goes!

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Mindy stands there after the fire was doused out by Gooble. After a bit, she backs away as she looks up at the burnt tree. Ignoring Catar winning the golf tournament. Because it nearly happened again. The same things that happened to her back in New York. The things that resulted in her going to the school in Massachusetts. It nearly happened again. She looks down at her hands, still flaming.

No, no. Please go out. Please go out.

Mindy shakes her hands, bends her wrists until they return back to normal. She looks at everyone with horror in her eyes before running back into her cabin, to hide from everyone.

[Oggy123]

On the other hand, Gooble turns into a bird and flies back into town. There, Gooble turns back and

> Find something to eat.

[Kennifer]

> Find something to eat. (Gooble)

You find a lot of food left from the cookout. Burgers, hot dogs, chips, cupcakes... you eat until you're really full and feel slightly ill.

[Oggy123]

"Ugh, i think i ate too much..."

Gooble then goes back to his cabin and...

> See if there's something good on TV. Preferably a children's show.

[PointMaid]

> See if there's something good on TV. Preferably a children's show.

You find a cartoon. It's... honestly not the greatest cartoon in the world. But it's a cartoon.

[noodlesnook]

Despite the others ditching them, Zee head on towards the anomaly.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Is there anything Mindy can do to get her mind off the forest fire she nearly started? She's losing it now

[Kennifer]

> Is there anything Mindy can do to get her mind off the forest fire she nearly started? She's losing it now

You find any number of distractions, from a good workout to an action movie to some video games. Take your pick.

[Zanreo]

The Bootlegger >also gets closer to the anomaly

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> A video game would be good. Preferably something violent and bloody to blow off some steam

[Kennifer]

> A video game would be good. Preferably something violent and bloody to blow off some steam

You find Doom. It's not modded or anything but should be violent enough.
