For your inconvenience, I have compiled here the chronicles of the greedy hunters and their quest to get rich quick without actually doing anything even remotely resembling work. There are no morals, no lessons to be learned from this stupid story. But you'll read it anyway, in hopes that you'll find something worthwhile. Which is a contradiction of terms in itself, for even assuming anything written by Xim is worthwhile.
DocProc: What the hell was that?
mario man4: I don't know. It felt like the story wasn't focusing on us for a moment there.
Xim: Thank goodness that's over.
*meanwhile*
mario man4: Oh no you don't!
DocProc: Nice try, narrator.
ravenwarrior: So anyway. Yeah, war could be anywhere right now.
dwimmerlaik: But I lke to think he's in a better place.
*looks up dreamily at the ceiling, since it's close enough to gazing skyward*
ravenwarrior: He's not dead, dwimmy.
dwimmerlaik: I guess you didn't see what I put in his dinner the other night.
DocProc: Since I'm sure that comment will have no immediate bearing in the future, can we move on? After all, you said it yourself, we're still on Floor 1.
Xim: Silly Proc. Don't you remember how high we've climbed? We must be at least several levels above the top floor by now.
mario man4: No, I'm pretty certain we're still on the main floor.
*motions towards the "You Are On Floor 1" sign on the wall*
Xim: Oh yeah? Hey, look over there!
*slaps a piece of paper next to the sign that says "That's a typo. This is actually floor 50 bajillion. And mario smells funny."*
Take a look at your precious sign now!
ravenwarrior: None of us looked away, Xim. We saw you put that piece of paper on the wall.
dwimmerlaik: I don't know. It could be a real sign. The crayon looks pretty official.
mario man4: I liked how he dotted the i's with little smiley faces.
LCC: Would you hurry it up? I'd like to get this next challenge underway.
ravenwarrior: What's up with you, LCC? You know what's going to happen at the end of all this, right? We're basically here to pummel you, I don't know what you're so anxious about.
LCC: Oh, nothing. It's just, the sooner you get up here, the sooner we get to fight. I can't recall one time I've wanted to kill anyone so badly.
Xim: Hey, LCC!
LCC: What?!
Xim: What do you get when you cross an owl with a bungee cord?
LCC: Just.... just shut up.. and enter.. the next floor.
*a large cavity opens in the ceiling and a burst of cool air rushes into the room*
DocProc: Ah! What's up there? It's so dark, I can't see anything..
LCC: Climb on up and maybe you'll find out.
*a spiral staircase descends from the dark room*
Xim: Whoa, that's so cool!
LCC: Yes, I thought it was a nice effect.
Xim: I mean, it's not often you see a spiral staircase! And here I was starting to think this tower was a little boring!
LCC: Did you eat a lot of paint chips when you were a kid?
Xim: Why? You too?
mario man4: Wow, it's totally pitch black up there. I didn't even see that staircase until it was practically in the room.
dwimmerlaik: It could be dangerous. I nominate Xim to go first.
Xim: I second the motion!
DocProc: You do know who Xim is, right?
Xim: Tch. Better him than me.
ravenwarrior: Forget it. I'll go first.
*led by ravenwarrior, the hunters ascend the staircase and enter the new room*
*a cold, damp air greets them, and a steady dripping can be heard echoing somewhere in the distance*
DocProc: Now this is what I call dark. |

dwimmerlaik: I don't know. It's not that dark. I can still see my hand in front of my face.
ravenwarrior: *pokes his head back through the opening in the floor*
That's because you're still down there.
dwimmerlaik: So have any of you died yet?
ravenwarrior: Get up here!
dwimmerlaik: Fine.
*walks up the stairs*
mario man4: What is this place? It's like a cave!
LCC: *ahem*
Xim: Wait, wait! Lemme guess. Taking into consideration the recent trend in the names of places in this tower, I bet this place is called.. um.. The Happy Cave Of Good Times And Not Certain Doom! Right?
ravenwarrior: Would you be serious for like one second?!
LCC: Er.. he's right.
ravenwarrior: Huh?
LCC: You have now entered The Happy Cave Of Good Times And Not Certain Doom!
Xim: Aha! I knew it!
ravenwarrior: I don't even wanna know.
mario man4: Um.. could we have a light here?
LCC: Sorry, no can do. But here's some advice: how about you stumble around aimlessly and see what happens? Trust me, it'll work.
ravenwarrior: *grabs Xim's shoulder*
Don't.
Xim: But he just said--
ravenwarrior: No, forget it.
Xim: Forget what?
ravenwarrior: Good.
*while Xim stands around trying to recall the last several moments, ravenwarrior advises the team*
ravenwarrior: Okay, so there should still be some light in here due to the light downstairs. Now, everybody, close your eyes and they'll adjust to the dark faster. What light we have should illuminate this room once our eyes adjust.
mario man4, dwimmerlaik, DocProc: Alright.
Xim: (ravenwarrior is saying stuff again. I bet he's talking about how uncool he is compared to me. Oh man. I rule. Hey, my shoes are untied. Shoelaces are so cool. I bet if I had enough shoelaces I could get people to worship me. More than they do now, I mean. I bet I'm the only person in the world that knows what those little things at the end of shoelaces are called. Since that comes up in conversations so often, I bet people are constantly getting embarrassed because they don't know what to call them. I once had a plastic cup that I named shoelace. I hated that cup, it tried to kill me.)
ravenwarrior: Okay, open your eyes.
DocProc: Wow! I can see a little better now! But it's still pretty dark.
mario man4: Well at least we know where to walk now.
ravenwarrior: Come on, let's go. Stick close to the wall, it seems there's a deep reservoir here. Don't fall.
*the hunters begin to march off with ravenwarrior in the lead*
dwimmerlaik: Come on.
*slaps Xim in the back of the head*
Xim: Uh! Wha! Er, lead the way!
*the hunters march on until they reach a tunnel*
DocProc: Look! There's some sort of glowing ahead!
*a green light washes over the hunters as they enter a large room*
mario man4: The walls are emitting some sort of green light..
dwimmerlaik: Well, let's get closer to them. I see no potential health risk here!
*the hunters move closer*
ravenwarrior: Are you seeing this?! Look at this rock! I mean, just LOOK at it!
*points at the stone wall*
Xim: Er.. yeah. Classic case. That's.. that's by the book right there.
ravenwarrior: It's solid adamite! Adamite!
Xim: Well, duh!
ravenwarrior: You don't know what adamite is, do you?
Xim: Psh. Accusing me of not knowing what aganite is! The nerve!
ravenwarrior: ..Adamite is the single most magical substance on GameFAQs. I mean, if you grind even one pound of this into powder, you'd have enough magical energy to power a small town! And this entire room is made of it!
DocProc: Eureka!
dwimmerlaik: You don't smell so good either.
Xim: Wow, cool! Er.. that is, cool refresher course, rav. Saved me the trouble of telling everyone else myself. |

mario man4: Wow, you're so worldly, Xim!
Xim: What can I say? I'm not just a devilishly handsome, invincible sex god, you know.
*walks forward*
Hmm.. ajatite, eh?
ravenwarrior: ..Adamite.
Xim: Not anymore! By the power vested in me by the Jelly Of The Month Club, I hereby declare this rock and all other variations of it throughout the world, Ximiscoolstone!
ravenwarrior: You can't just go around naming stuff after yourself, Xim. Especially when it already has a name.
Xim: Oh? Why not?
ravenwarrior: Well, first of all, there's laws--
Xim: Laws?! Hah! I practically invented copyright infringement!
ravenwarrior: What the-- no you didn't!
Xim: Exactly!
DocProc: LCC! This is amazing!
LCC: Yes, isn't it? The Master used the vast supply he found here to further his studies.
ravenwarrior: This stuff is priceless!
Xim: Priceless, eh?
LCC: Yeah, but it's rigged so that if anyone but Master Svengarlic even touches it, the floor will give way.
Xim: Yeah, cool. So like, I'm running out of room in my pack here. Mind if I put some of this in your bag, rav?
*continues stuffing the adamite in his backpack*
dwimmerlaik: I totally didn't see this one coming.
*as the floor collapses beneath their feet and the hunters plunge into darkness, LCC breathes a contented sigh of relief*
DocProc: Why didn't I just stay in Med School?! I had such a bright future ahead of me!
dwimmerlaik: If it's any consolation, I can probably use the Map as a parachute. You guys are goners for sure, though.
*pretends to do the backstroke*
Xim: Oh man! Oh man! We're really gonna die!
ravenwarrior: And whose fault is that?
Xim: ..Now is not the time to point fingers.
mario man4: Hold on!
*grabs Xim's backpack and takes out two chunks of adamite*
This is magical, right?
ravenwarrior: Yeah! But you need someone who has knowledge of magic to channel the energy!
mario man4: Oh, screw it! Please work..!
*bangs the two stones together*
*there is a flash of green light and a loud bang before the hunters disappear*
*meanwhile, on the top floor*
DocProc: *breathing heavily*
I am never.. going near another cave.. in my life.
Xim: *stands up and combs his hair*
Where are we?
ravenwarrior: *turns toward mario*
How the hell did you do that?!
mario man4: I.. I don't know. I wasn't even thinking, I just.. did it.
ravenwarrior: Holy crap! You made us teleport! You saved all our lives, mario!
mario man4: But.. I didn't even..
DocProc: Are we still in the Tower Of Doom?
LCC: Unfortunately.
Xim: LCC! How's it going, buddy?
LCC: Ugh..
ravenwarrior: That.. that's not an intercom..
*turns around to see a halfway open door*
"Control Room"?
DocProc: We're on the top floor?!
ravenwarrior: *turns to mario*
(That was accurate..)
mario man4: Wow. I guess.. this is it.
Xim: I told you guys we were close to the top floor!
DocProc: *looks around*
Did we beat the others here?
?: Hey, there's a door up ahead! Looks like we made it!
dwimmerlaik: GEE, I WONDER WHO THAT MIGHT BE!
*unpredictably, Icarus Ascending, Groovilicious, warutrid and slobr burst into the hallway*
Groovilicious: Xim!
Xim: Hey Groovi. What took you guys so long? We've been waiting here for like, hours. |

warutrid: Aw.. even rav and dwim beat us?
dwimmerlaik: Yeah, and we did it without teleportation, cheater.
slobr: *walks forward*
So is LCC in there?
DocProc: Yeah, it would be rude of us to keep him waiting.
Icarus Ascending: I thought you said you've been here for hours.
mario man4: Don't change the subject. Slowpoke.
Groovilicious: Shall we go in?
Xim: Certainly. Ladies first.
*as Xim is shoved through the door, a figure clad in a blue hood rises to his feet in front of a large monitor*
LCC: Welcome.
slobr: Ah, so we meet at last, LCC.
Xim: I can see myself on the TV!
*poses heroically and gives himself a thumbs up*
LCC: So you've come here to fight me, right?
*turns around*
warutrid: That's right! So would you be submitting your surrender in writing or just--
LCC: SILENCE!
*the hunters seem to flinch for a moment as if LCC's very voice holds some power over them*
Xim: No, actually war was talking, not being quiet. Good guess, though.
LCC: *clenches his fists*
Oh, how I've waited for this. If any of you worms thinks you're my match, step forward and be obliterated.
*everyone but warutrid takes a step back*
LCC: Ah, so you think you're up for it, eh?
warutrid: Huh?
*looks around*
Uh oh..
LCC: Well..
*suddenly hits a large button on the wall next to him*
*a huge cage drops from the ceiling and traps the hunters*
ravenwarrior: Oh no! Dammit!
Xim: Another fine mess you've gotten us into, war! Why'd you have to step forward?!
LCC: HahaHAHAHAHA! Morons! A fitting end for trash like yourselves! Dying in a cage like a pack of mindless beasts! Did you honestly believe, even for a moment, you could defeat ME?!
Xim: You'd better not mess with me! I have secret powers, you know! Powers so secret.. that.. that even I don't know what they are!
LCC: *begins slowly taking steps towards the hunters' cage*
Groovilicious: Now, now. It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt.
Xim: Yeah, that's when the mass orgies begin.
LCC: SHUT UP!
*LCC begins to buzz with electricity, first with his fists, then his arms and legs, until finally his whole body is humming with dancing volts*
*the resulting electric surge short-circuts the power, shrouding the entire room in darkness, save the approaching sorcerer's illuminated figure*
ravenwarrior: Uh oh. This.. could be bad.
LCC: I've had ENOUGH of you fools. Who the hell do you think you're dealing with?!
*emits a shockwave that knocks all of the hunters off their feet and into the back wall*
Xim: Ah..
*rubs his head*
He's not kidding around..
LCC: That's right. Understand now, you worm? Do you finally realize what you're up against?
hunters: !
warutrid: I-I can't move!
Groovilicious: Did he paralyze us?
Icarus Ascending: Da-dammit..! Is this the end?
ravenwarrior: If only I could reach my sword..
Xim: *shuts his eyes*
LCC: *walks right up to the bars and blasts them off their hinges with a flick of his wrist*
Groovilcious: Ah! Xim..!
Xim: ...!
LCC: *walks over to Xim and lifts him off his feet by his shirt collar*
Understand? This is magic, not some sad scrawl on an ancient parchment. The physical manifestation of the will. If I wish for it to happen, it occurs. With but a thought I could make your head explode, or replace your blood with sulfuric acid. There's no end to the list of ways I could kill you right now. Open your eyes, Xim Vicious. Open your eyes and face your doom.
Since nothing's really going on right now, I guess this is a good place to stop. The final climactic battle with LCC begins, next time on QFTLSB! |

Yeah, I think it's high time I wrapped up this Tower Of Doom story arc. I guess I got caught up in the open-endedness of it, and forgot that I can do basically the same thing on any other board (i.e. make up some random crap that might be loosely affiliated with the game's title, but probably not). I've been wanting to put Agent in the story since like before Oni Lupe. And don't even get me started on Ma Chao.
Erm, anyway. New update, um, tomorrow? We'll see. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm about to pasd out,

Foolish readers. Like puddy in my hands. All too soon my plot to waste several minutes of your life shall come to fruition.
Groovilicous: Stop it! Stop!
LCC: Hm?
*looks at Groovilicious*
Don't worry, your turn will come soon enough.
Xim: Heh. Didn't your mother ever tell you that if you play with fire, you'll get burned?
LCC: What?!
*there is an earsplitting crack as LCC flies head-first into the opposite wall*
Xim: Hmph. Don't underestimate us non-magic users, you half-assed magician!
*rests his giant ham on one shoulder*
ravenwarrior: Ah, I can move again!
warutrid: Me too!
*ravenwarrior, Icarus Ascending and warutrid leap to their feet and rush over to Xim, who has yet to take his eyes off the fallen sorcerer*
slobr: *stands up*
Huh..? How did you break his spell, Xim?
Xim: *glances back*
Simple. I've been around, I know how magic of that nature works. That kind of thing won't effect you unless you're looking at him. It's an amateur's form of hypnosis. He talks big, but it's mostly just hot air.
mario man4: But what about all that electricity coursing through his body?
Groovilicious: Yeah, and the lights went out..
Xim: A light show and a novice paralysis spell, that's all it was. He probably switched off the power with a remote he had hidden in his robes or something.
slobr: You sure? That looked pretty real to me. Maybe we shouldn't jump to conclusions..
Xim: Look, if he were as good as he says, he would have killed us through his thoughts by now. "Physical manifestation of the will" my ass. An apprentice is still an apprentice.
ravenwarrior: Hm.. I guess he wasn't as strong as we thought. Heh. I'm actually kind of disappointed, in a way.
Icarus Ascending: Well, that's the way it goes sometimes. Best not to brood upon it.
warutrid: Yeah, Icarus is right. Hm, I think this switch will turn the power back on.
*motions toward a button on the wall labeled "emergency backup generator"*
*when warutrid pushes the button, the lights pop back on, revealing LCC lying motionless on the floor towards the back of the room*
slobr: Geez, you really belted him, Xim.
dwimmerlaik: Yeah, that trail of blood can't be good for these fine wooden floors.
*produces a roll of Bounty paper towels*
It's the quilted quicker picker-upper!
Groovilicious: Have you been accepting endorsement offers again?
dwimmerlaik: No.
*slyly adjusts his Reebok Classics*
Icarus Ascending: Something still bothers me, though. Xim, you say you've "been around", but I can't imagine there are more than a handful of people on all of GameFAQs that know magic, much less have knowledge of its inner workings. How did you know to close your eyes?
Xim: Oh, right. Well.. I read about it down in the Study Of Doom. There were all sorts of books about magic back there.
LCC: Like hell you did.
*everyone whirls around to face LCC, who is shakily rising to his feet*
*Xim mutters something about the Lost Secret Board as he turns around*
LCC: I knew it. There's something special about you, Vicious. There's no way you could have happened to read up about that in the short time you were in the Study.
Xim: Hah. What exactly are you trying to accuse me of?
LCC: I'm not sure, really. But I do know that you didn't read up on that spell in the library, and that was not just a fluke.
Icarus Ascending: (Hmm.. now that you mention it, that wasn't altogether that different from the time he and I fought..)

LCC: There's more to you than meets the eye, Xim. I'd better stamp you out of existence right now before you have a chance to become a bigger threat.
Xim: *smirks*
And how do you intend to do that, Mr. Lights-go-off-when-I-get-angry-man?
LCC: Remember when you first reached the tower and were driven into the ground by one of my fireballs?
Xim: What about it? That barely hurt.
*tries to cover his scorched scalp*
LCC: Well, that blast came from this floor. Imagine what one of those would feel like from this range.
*Xim's confident smile fades*
Xim: Er..
warutrid: *steps in front of Xim*
Just try it!
LCC: *raises his arm*
warutrid: Uh..
*eyes dart from LCC to Xim and back to LCC*
You're on your own, man!
*jumps out of the way*
LCC: That's right. Say goodbye, Xim.
Xim: Tch..!
*braces himself for impact*
LCC: This is the end of you!!
*a gale torrent rips through the room as LCC pulls his arm back in preparation for the fireball, when..*
LCC: What?!
*before LCC has a chance to thrust his arm forward, he is grabbed from behind*
Icarus Ascending: Sorry, no one kills Xim when I'm around.
*kicks LCC in the gut, sending him off his feet and back into the wall*
ravenwarrior: Yeah! Good going, Icarus!
(Hmph, showoff. I was about to make my move, too..)
Icarus Ascending: I've got a score to settle with that one, sorcerer. Too bad for you.
LCC: *sits up and wipes some blood from his mouth*
H-how..? How did you get over here so fast?!
Icarus Ascending: It was a mistake on your part.
LCC: What? What the hell does that even mean?!
Icarus Ascending: *walks over and kneels down until at eye level with LCC*
You made the mistake of thinking Xim was the only threat here.
LCC: Grr..
Xim: *claps his hands together*
Wellp! That about wraps things up here. We've defeated the master of the Tower, so I guess we'll just be on our way then!
LCC: I--
*before LCC can get another word out, he finds himself surrounded by Icarus, ravenwarrior, warutrid and slobr*
LCC: Hmph, fine. I can't take all of you. Get out of here then..
Xim: Hehe. Good to see you've accepted your defeat. Makes it that much easier for us.
*starts walking toward then giant monitor*
Now, before I go, there's one more thing I have to do.
LCC: What?
Xim: This button here has been holding my attention since we got here.
LCC: What button?
Xim: You know, this big, red, shiny, candy-like one right here.
*points at the button on the panel*
mario man4: Xim, maybe you shouldn't--
LCC: NO!!
*leaps to his feet and gets knocked back down by slobr*
Damn you! Don't press that!
Xim: *looks over his shoulder at LCC apologetically*
Aw.. Now I gotta press it!
*pushes it*
Intercom: Self-destruct sequence activated.
dwimmerlaik: Wow, this is a rare lapse in judgement for you, Xim!
LCC: No! What have you done?!
Xim: Dammit! Now look what you've gotten us into, warutrid!
Groovilicious: Turn it off!
warutrid: How?
slobr: *shakes LCC*
How do we stop it?!
LCC: I don't know!! Oh man, oh man!! Master Svengarlic's gonna kill me..!

Intercom: 7 seconds to detonation.
dwimmerlaik: My, that's user-friendly.
Intercom: I try.
Everyone: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
*there's a faint rumbling and all is still*
Groovilicious: *opens her eyes*
Is.. is that it?
DocProc: Well, that wasn't as bad as I thou--
*before DocProc can finish his sentence, the room starts to sway left and right*
mario man4: Ahhh! What's going on?!
LCC: It must have blown up the first floor!
slobr: Th-that means..!
Everyone: THE BUILDING'S GOING TO COLLAPSE!!
Xim: We're going down!!
*covers his head*
*several thousand feet later*
Xim: *raises his head and shakes some plaster from his hair*
Uhhhnn.. everyone alright?
dwimmerlaik: Yeah, luckily the pavement broke my fall.
Groovilicous: *slowly stands up and surveys the area*
Wo-ow!! There must be rubble for miles around here! How the heck did we survive that?!
LCC: Me.
*stands up and brushes some dust off his robes*
I used my powers to send most of the rubble away so we could plummet without hitting anything, and I used a reverse gravity spell to lessen the impact.
slobr: That was nice of you.
LCC: I didn't do it for you!
*walks over to Xim*
I have to keep this oaf alive so he can pay for the damages. You hear me, Xim?! You're not just walking away from this!! I'll follow you to the ends of the earth if I have to!! You'll pay back every last cent!!
Xim: *swats LCC's hand aside*
No problem. We just so happen to be on a quest that should lead us to a Treasure that will be more than enough to restore your little tower.
LCC: What? Do you know how much that thing costs?!
*the hunters tell LCC about the Lost Secret Board*
LCC: ....I see.
dwimmerlaik: Ah, but can you see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
*holds up a spoonful*
Groovilicious: Would you stop that?!
LCC: Hmm.. and you actually think this thing exists?
warutrid: Of course! We even have a Map to prove it! ..Let me just show you..
*grabs*
dwimmerlaik: *dodges*
Nice try.
LCC: Well, whatever. You're not getting away from me until I get enough money to restore the Tower.
Xim: Good to have you aboard, buddy!
*throws his arm around LCC's shoulder*
LCC: I foresee great stress coming my way..
DocProc: *glances at the undisturbed courtyard*
Whoa! Well, would you look at that! After all that, the patio furniture is completely unharmed! That's some strong wood!
warutrid: Heh, you said strong wood.
ravenwarrior: Ugh.
warutrid: Heh, get it? Strong? Wood?
And so, the Tower Of Doom saga comes to an end. The hunters have joined forces with a powerful magician and now set out on a new journey. Join us next time, for a new installment of Tower Of Doom!
Or.. whatever this story was originally about. I can't quite remember since it's been SO LONG--
Xim: Oh shut up.

As we join the hunters, they are in the midst of an intellectual debate concerning existentialism.
mario man4: I'm telling you right now, you can't underestimate the validity of Gurdjieff's "The Fourth Way" theory.
Xim: Maybe, but I like to think that it actually tastes better if you add the sandwich to the mayonnaise, not the other way around.
slobr: Isn't it the same thing?
Xim: You would think that. Rube.
*adjusts his clip-on tie victoriously*
warutrid: Weren't we going to do something?
DocProc: Don't change the subject!
warutrid: No.. I'm almost sure of it. Something about.. lost secrets or something.
slobr: This conversation is going nowhere! If war would quit distracting us, I suggest we try and figure out what we were supposed to do.
LCC: Have they always been like this?
ravenwarrior: Since the day I met 'em.
LCC: This is insane! These guys are some of the most famous board hunters on GameFAQs, for pete's sake! How can anybody this stupid survive out here, let alone be successful?!
Groovilicious: Well.. "successful" is a subjective term.
Xim: I dressed myself today.
Groovilicious: And we're all proud of you, Xim. But what's with the suit?
Xim: It's for the tour. Black tie, you know. You can't get in unless you're dressed in formal clothes and such like.
*pulls on his lapels*
ravenwarrior: Tour?
Xim: Yeah, right over there.
*points*
Tour Guide: And now we come to The Castle. The ruins found on this board are rumored to be remnants of an ancient kingdom of lizard men. From outer space.
Tourists: Ooh! Aah!
LCC: Um.
Tour Guide: Why, some say no one has lived here in 5, 10, maybe even 15 minutes!
Tourists: Amazing!
LCC: Great. Just great. The Tower Of Doom has become a tourist trap. Master Svengarlic's not exactly easy to fool, but he will definitely have heard about it by now.
mario man4: Look at it this way. It's not that your life as you know it is over, it's just that you have to live your life in fear of some gruesome death from now on.
LCC: *looks around at his company*
I suppose you're right about that.
Tour Guide: And if you'll look to your left, you'll notice some trees of some sort.
Tourist: Imagine!
*takes a snapshot*
*suddenly, a man rides up on a bike*
Guy: Greetings. Hot enough for ya?
LCC: *throws his hands in the air*
Who ARE all you people?! I thought this was supposed to be a secret board!
Guy: Relax, chief. I got a message for ya.
*fishes around in a tote bag and holds up a letter*
Which one of you is Xim Vicious?
Xim: Me! Me! Gimme!
*hops up and down*
Guy: Yeah, whatever. 35 cent delivery fee, Mac.
*holds out hand*
Xim: 35 cents?! Highway robbery! I'll give you 32 cents and not a penny more!
Guy: It's not up for negotiation, pal.
Xim: 70 cents!
Guy: That's twice what I'm asking!
Xim: 33 and a half cents, and that's my final offer!
Guy: It costs 35 cents!

Xim: Oh, fine!
*hands over 35 cents*
How do you sleep at night?!
Guy: *hands Xim the letter*
Very happily!
*rides off in a fit of maniacal laughter while holding up a large bag with a dollar sign on it*
ravenwarrior: What's the letter say, Xim?
Xim: Hold on!
*opens the letter*
Hmm.. it seems to be written in some sort of code. Probably an ancient form of Hunterism, which is a variant of Northern Potamicabodian.
*looks toward the horizon*
You see, in the beginning--
Groovilicious: *snatches the letter from Xim, flips it upside down and hands it back to him*
Xim: Er.. yes. Well. As I was saying, the English of this letter is very skillfully executed. I mean just look at those y's! Upside down, one might think they were actually the forty-second letter of the--
Icarus Ascending: Would you just read the letter!
Xim: Fine! Let's see.. um, "Happy Birthday, Xim! I've left your present at home. Swing on by and pick it up. I'm so proud of you, son. Love, Papa Xim."
Daddy!
ravenwarrior: Um, Xim? Didn't you say your father was dead..?
Xim: What an awful thing to say! That's it, you're officially uninvited to my father's funeral!
slobr: Wait, didn't we already pass your place, Xim?
Xim: Yeah, I'll have to do a little backtracking, but I'll catch up with you later. Right now, I've gotta head over to Aurora Quest to get my birthday present.
Groovilicious: Xim, your birthday was like three months ago.
Xim: Come now. It's as if you're suggesting this is an easily-avoidable trap that I'll fall right into because I'm too dense to realize it obviously is. For shame, Groovi!
So, does anyone want to come with me to Aurora Quest?
dwimmerlaik: Sure, I'll go visit Aurora Quest with you, Xim. It's been awhile since I've been there.
LCC: I'm not letting you out of my sight, Xim. You're going to pay for wrecking my tower.
Xim: Fine, fine. You can come too. Everybody else, just head on without us. We'll catch up. Now go visit Aurora Quest, you lazy reader!
*everyone looks at Xim*
Xim: ..What!
Icarus Ascending: Hold on a minute, would you? dwimmerlaik has the Map. We need to know where we're headed before you go off to get trapped.
Xim: Present. To get "present".
Icarus Ascending: Yeah, that's what I said. Anyhow, the way I see it, if LCC is with you, whatever this "present" is, you should be pretty safe. Anyway, just tell us the next Hint, dwim.
dwimmerlaik: Right-o.
*moves several yards away from warutrid and whips out the Map*
"Board #6: In the Forest of Sways, we encountered the lord of the woods we had sought. Only in the innards of the creature could we find the antidote to save the child."
ravenwarrior: Forest Sways, huh? That's a long way from here..
slobr: Don't be discouraged, everyone! If we all band together, (and by "all" I mean everyone but me,) I bet we could have my rickshaw finished in no time!

warutrid: I like how you don't use your friends to advance your own selfish desires.
slobr: Just for that, you get to pull it!
Groovilcious: Well, this probably works out for the best anyway.
slobr: I agree.
Groovilicious: Not that. I was talking about Forest Sways. If it's really that far away, it'll give Xim and the others a chance to catch up to us.
Xim: You say that like it'll take us awhile to return somehow, as if we'll be delayed by some unseen circumstance that no one could predict unless they were in cahoots with whatever is supposedly plotting against us.
*thinks for a moment then points at Groovi*
J'accuse!
DocProc: I don't get it.
ravenwarrior: What?
DocProc: I don't understand the Hint. We're supposed to go to Forest Sways, that much is clear, but what are we supposed to do there? Meet someone? Kill some sort of creature? Save a kid's life? It makes no sense.
mario man4: Proc's right. This clue is all over the place.
Icarus Ascending: The first step is to reach the Forest. We'll figure it out from there.
ravenwarrior: Right, let's go. See you guys later.
*waves to Xim, dwimmerlaik and LCC and begins to walk off*
Groovilicious: So long!
*follows*
DocProc: Be well, guys.
*salutes and leaves*
Icarus Ascending: *leaves without a word*
slobr: Man, all this talking is making me exhausted. I think we might need to rest soon.
*stumbles off in an exaggerated fashion*
mario man4: Come back soon!
*jogs off*
warutrid: See you, Xim.
*leaves*
Xim: *sniff*
Good-byes always make me--
*sniff*
Realize how many freakin' characters are in this story.
*sniff*
What is that smell?!
dwimmerlaik: Sorry.
*stops burning warutrid's high school yearbook*
LCC: So we leaving? You know the way, right Xim?
Xim: Yeah, yeah. Just follow me. If you can!
*sprints off*
LCC: What is he trying to prove?
*casts a levitation spell and floats effortlessly after Xim at breakneck speed*
dwimmerlaik: *uses the Map to catch up*
*several hours later*
Xim: ARRRRRGH!
*throws himself down on the ground and gasps for breath*
LCC: *looks up from his book and floats over Xim**
Tired already?
Xim: *pant, pant*
You wish!
dwimmerlaik: Then why are you on the ground?
Xim: Hey, some of us can't magic ourselves everywhere or inexplicably travel using a piece of paper, you know!
dwimmerlaik: Yeah, the losers.
*LCC and dwimmerlaik share a high five*
Xim: *springs to his feet*
Hmph. Well, we should be just about there. In fact, I think it's right over this hill here.
LCC: *floats to the ground*
Really? Well, then. Let's go.
*the three climb the hill and upon reaching the top, are greeted by a blast of icy cold wind*
LCC: OH MY GOD!!
*crosses his arms and falls to his knees*
SO.. FREAKING.. COLD!!
dwimmerlaik: *breathes into his cupped hands*
I don't think I'll ever get used to this.

Xim: *stretches his arms and breathes deep*
Ahh.. home sweet home. Welcome to Aurora Quest!
LCC: *looks up*
Whoa.. It's beautiful.
*stretched out before the hunters is a huge expanse of tundra, completely covered in snow*
*the trees are made entirely of ice and reflect the rising sun's light to create a prism of colors that radiates across the fields*
LCC: This is amazing! The environment here is completely contained, it didn't even seem chilly on the other side of the hill. This area is rich with magic.
dwimmerlaik: And corpses of frozen travelers who stood around and talked too much.
LCC: *rubs his hands together and puts on his hood*
How can you live here, Xim?!
Xim: I love the cold weather. Besides, my house manages to stay pretty warm.
LCC: Then let's go there, quick! Where is it?!
Xim: *points to a gathering of trees*
Over there. Beyond those trees.
LCC: Okay. I'll go on ahead.
*leaps into the air, falls to the ground and rolls down the hill*
AHHHHH!
Xim: Interesting way to travel.
dwimmerlaik: Magicians are weird.
*Xim and dwimmerlaik walk down the hill and pull LCC out of the snow*
LCC: *brushes some snow off his robes*
DAMMIT! It's too COLD here! I can't focus my powers!
Xim: C'mon let's just go. I can't wait to get home! Wait'll you see the stuff I've collected on my journeys!
*Xim and dwimmerlaik half carry LCC over to the clearing where Xim's house is*
Xim: Here we are! My house! Uh--?
*standing in front of the door is a mail carrier*
Mailman: Hm?
*turns around*
Ah, Xim Vicious, I suppose?
Xim: Oh! Do you have my present?!
Mailman: Aye, that I do.
Xim: Gimme!
Mailman: Heh.
*throws off his mask and mail carrier uniform to reveal..*
dwimmerlaik: You?!
Smug: Aye!
dwimmerlaik: But.. you died, Smug!
Smug: Correct, landlubber! But thanks to me mateys, I have been reborn as Captain Smudge!
*after a bit of a scuffle, the three find themselves tied up on the ground with a leering Smudge standing over them*
Xim: You know, guys, I think it's very possible this guy isn't even a mailman at all.
LCC: You idiot..
Smudge: Har har!
LCC: (If only I could use my magic..)
How about that! It WAS a trap. I was like totally shocked and stuff. Well, it would seem Captain Smug is back! Or should I say Captain Smudge? Or should I say Captain Ximneedstoaddmorevillanstothisstorybecausehecan'tkeepusingthisguyforevergodammit? How will they weasel their way out of this encounter with the ever-persistent pirate? Perhaps a "look over there" type escape? I wouldn't doubt it. But to know for sure, you'll just have to read the next installment of QFTLSB!

Hah, maybe we'll finally be rid of those hunters.
Smudge: And now I shall finally have the pleasure of killing you, Xim Vicious.
Xim: *glares*
The pleasure is all mine.
Smudge: Ha har! It's now time for me revenge!
Xim: What exactly have I done to you, anyway?
Smudge: Don't play stupid with me, Xim!
dwimmerlaik: Who's play--oof!
*dwimmerlaik gets punched in the gut by Xim, despite the fact that I said he was tied up, so there*
Smudge: Oh, that does it! Say yer prayers!
*unsheathes his rapier*
*slips and falls down*
Argh! Ice! Me most formidable opponent.
dwimmerlaik: If ice is so great, how come it can be defeated by prolonged exposure to sunlight? That's not much different than the average GameFAQs user.
Smudge: Silence yer grog-hole!
*attempts to stand up and falls down again in comedic fashion*
LCC: We seem to be at a cul-de-sac.
Xim: Watch your mouth.
dwimmerlaik: If I can just..
*reaches into his pocket and retrieves the Map*
There!
*suddenly the ropes restraining the hunters release themselves*
Smudge: But how?!
dwimmerlaik: *holds up the Map and winks*
Smudge: Hold on now, mateys. Ye wouldn't be thinkin' of ganging up on ol' Smudge, would ye?
dwimmerlaik: Heh, good one.
*readies a lead pipe*
Smudge: Three on one, not fair says I!
Xim: Wait a minute. Don't you have like, thousands of pirates under your command or something? Why did you come alone?
LCC: Yeah, that's something I'd expect from Xim.
Smudge: *leaps to his feet and uses his sword to prop him up*
Oh yeah? What say ye now?
*steps aside to reveal a much smaller pirate*
Smudge: Behold! Crappy Jack!
Crappy Jack: Arr!
*brandishes a fierce-looking rapier*
dwimmerlaik: That little runt? What's he gonna do? Kick us in the shins?
Xim: Yeah, and how does a rapier look fierce anyway? That doesn't make any sense. Who writes this stuff?
Smudge: D'Garr! Ye best take back them words, landlubber! Get 'em, Jack!
Crappy Jack: Yarr..
Smudge: What? Your legs are stuck in the snow?!
LCC: Wait a second. Those aren't real legs! They're peg legs.
Smudge: Arr! When ye been in as many battles as Jack here, ye wouldn't be lookin' half as good! Besides, ye should see what the blokes that stood against 'im look like now! So don't go writing him off just 'cause of something like wooden legs!
Xim: That's not exactly why we're ragging on him.. it's more due to the fact that his arms are also made of wood.
*suddenly, the rapier falls from Crappy Jack's hands that didn't exist in the first place*
Smudge: Er..
dwimmerlaik: Well, I suppose it's better than bringing one of those dirty clothes hampers.
Xim: Now hold on. Let's not be too hasty to dismiss those hampers. Why, the stench alone could--
Smudge: There ye go again! You're not supposed ter ignore the villain!
Xim: Oh, right. I almost forgot about you. Thanks for reminding us. You could have walked away right now and we probably wouldn't have even noticed.
Smudge: Y-yarr! Blast it, why does that never work in me favor?
LCC: But honestly, wooden legs and arms?
Smudge: Aye. Wooden legs, wooden arms, wooden eyes!
Crappy Jack: *removes the eyepatches to reveal eyes made of wood*
Smudge: Har har! What think ye know?!
Xim: I'm kind of wondering how someone would go about--
*a sudden strong gust of arctic air crashes down on the group and Crappy Jack crumbles into a pile of wood*
Everyone: ....
Smudge: Er.. he might give ye a nasty splinter! |

Hey look, he stopped.

Smudge: Yarr.. catch the game last night?
LCC, dwimmerlaik and Xim: Yeah, game.
*suddenly, a man with three duck-shaped heads appears*
*and that man is, you guessed it, NinjaMaster*
NinjaMaster: Oh? What's this?
Xim: *looks up*
Ah! NM! You're just in time!
NinjaMaster: *stares hard*
Umm.. Xim, right?
Xim: Yeah. What are you doing out here? You hunting again?
NinjaMaster: Nah, not really. SBP and I are passing through on business and I was gonna claim this place, but looks like it's already occupied.
Xim: SECRET B0ARD P0LICE? He's here too?
NinjaMaster: Yeah, he was right behind me. He should be here soon. So what are YOU doing out here, Xim?
Xim: Oh, we're on a hunt of sorts, dwimmy, LCC and I.
NinjaMaster: ..What sort?
Xim: Well--
LCC: Right now, we were hunting this pirate.
*waves toward Smudge*
NinjaMaster: Pirate, eh? Yeah, I heard that Kestrel guy routed one of their factions recently. Doing a little clean-up, eh?
Xim: That's right! And this is their leader, Captain Smudge!
Smudge: (SECRET B0ARD P0LICE? This isn't good..)
NinjaMaster: That so?! Good work, Xim!
SECRET B0ARD P0LICE: Smudge, huh?
dwimmerlaik: *looks up*
Hey, SBP.
SECRET B0ARD P0LICE: *hops off the tree limb he was sitting on*
That sounds an awful lot like the leader we heard was banned.
LCC: Yeah, looks like someone made him a new account.
NinjaMaster: How long have you been here?
SECRET B0ARD P0LICE: Heh. Did you think you were that much faster than me?
*turns to Xim*
Hey Xim, dwimmerlaik. You're looking good. And who's this? A new partner? |

SECRET B0ARD P0LICE: Where's Groovi? Doesn't seem the same without her.
dwimmerlaik: She went on ahead with the others.
NinjaMaster: Others? What's going on, guys?
Xim: Ah, that's right! I've been meaning to ask you guys. Did you go on a hunt with Kinni a couple years back?
NinjaMaster: We've gone hunting with Kissiosn lots of times, you know that.
dwimmerlaik: That's not what we mean.
*reaches into his pocket*
We're talking about a special kind of--
LCC: So anyway, what are we going to do with Smudge here, SBP?
SECRET B0ARD P0LICE: Huh? Oh, well. I guess I could take him in..
Smudge: Don't get ahead of yerselves now!
*makes a break for it*
Xim: Hey, he's getting away! SBP, aren't you going to stop him? He could be a potential threat to all of the secret boards!
SECRET B0ARD POLICE: Ah, I'd rather let 1000 guilty men go free than chase after them. Besides we've got other things to do. Stay alive, eh, Xim?
*walks off*
Xim: B-but!
NinjaMaster: Well, with SBP gone, I guess I'll take my leave of you all now as well.
*throws a flashbomb at the ground*
*everyone shields their eyes*
*when the dust clears, the hunters find themselves face to face with.. NinjaMaster?*
NinjaMaster: *eyes dart left and right*
Uh..
*jogs off into the woods*
dwimmerlaik: He vanished!
Xim: I told you ninjas were cooler than pirates!
LCC: *slaps Xim and dwimmerlaik*
What were you two thinking?! You almost told them about what we're hunting for!
Xim: Hey, what's wrong with that? They might have known something about it! Those two were always hanging out with Kinnison. His name is mentioned on the Map!
LCC: Exactly, which means they could still be searching for it!
Xim: Huh?
LCC: Think about it. Remember what you told me ravenwarrior said? He said there were others looking too. If they knew we had a Map, or that we were just competiton, we could have been in real trouble there.
Xim: But.. but NM and SBP are veterans. They wouldn't..
dwimmerlaik: You've always been too trusting, Xim.
*shakes his head in disappointment*
LCC: You almost told them too!
dwimmerlaik: I did no such thing.
LCC: Hey look. Sure, it's possible they weren't after it, but it's also possible they were. They never said what "business" they were up to.
Xim: ..What are you trying to say?
LCC: Well.. I've hardly ever been outside of the Tower Of Doom, but even I've heard of those two. If they were after it, there's no way we'd be standing right now. They're in a whole different league.
Xim: No way. Not those two.
LCC: Xim! You have to at least consider the possibility that--
Xim: Shut up! I don't wanna hear it. Guys like that were the reason I became a hunter! Don't you talk bad about them!
*makes a motion as if to unsheathe his weapon, but thinks better of it*
They're not like that!
LCC: *sigh*
Alright, alright! Calm down. Look, just.. just try to not tell everyone you meet what we're doing.
dwimmerlaik: Um.. Smudge got away, you know.
Xim: *relaxes*
Aw, that's okay. I'm sure we'll never see him again.
LCC: (Heh. You had me worried there for a minute.)
Well.. I guess you could say all's well that ends well, right?
Xim: I could. But I'm not going to.
*smiles victoriously*
And you can't make me.
dwimmerlaik: Ah, but I can.
*produces a life-size model of Xim made out of macaroni and paste*
LCC: Heh.
*shakes his head*
Let's catch up with the others, eh?
Damn, I thought Smudge really had them there.
There.. there'll be another one later..

This story is like Lucky Charms, in the way it's magically delicious.
