Treasure Hunt! Saturday Afternoon, Outside the Dorms Then All Across The Island
Edmund didn't really want to share any of the gold that he'd heard about on the radio broadcast, but on the other hand, he'd also heard about creatures. Creatures that bit and fired things and transported people to student housing entirely against their will.
So, perhaps safety in numbers after all.
Because it was more politically astute than just calling them cannon fodder right out in the open.
Thus here he was outside the dorms with a sign -- by which he meant here Baldrick was carrying the sign, because please -- reading:
Fandom Island Treasure Hunt
Gold coins. You know you want them.
We're going looking. Come with us.
First come, first served.
Bring weapons if you have them.
Those with weapons, protect those without.
Blackadder's weapon was a dogsbody who belched fireballs. He didn't intend to protect anybody but himself with it, but other people didn't have to know that.
[Open! Feel free to collect coins unmolested, or mod/NPC-request yourself some enemy attacks, as you will. Just make sure anybody sharing a thread with you is on the same page when it comes to that!]

In Front of the Dorms: Gather And Mingle
Baldrick did.
Baldrick brought trays of Turnip Surprise.
Which were...trays of turnips.
Sorry if we spoiled the surprise.

And a red welt on his forehead. Sometimes the bricks had just turned out to be bricks.
Re: In Front of the Dorms: Gather And Mingle
What sustenance he lacked in turnips, he made up for in booze, armed with a silver flask of brandy and a bottle of rum just in case there were any
piratessquirrels that needed bribing. That and a sturdy black bag for his gold-to-be, and he was set.He'd better get quite a bit; what with having to cut a hole in his second favourite pair of trousers for the raccoon tail, he was going to need some wardrobe supplementation after this weekend.

All Over Town: Coin Boxes
All Over Town: Warp Pipes!
Entering the tube will lead to one of four secret rooms -- two of them immediately set up to sliiiide you right down to the floor again, unless you have flying powers, or jump to the side really fast to get to the flat surface beneath that coin box.
Once you do, though, turn out your pockets or lift up your goodie bags, because hitting that coinbox from below will produce a 30-second shower of coins. Catch as many as you can, because once it stops, any that hit the ground will disappear, and once you head out of the pipe and back to the surface, you won't get to visit the same room again. (You can, however, keep re-entering the same damned pipe every time you fail to headbutt the coinbox.)
Re: All Over Town: Warp Pipes!
The pipe dumped her onto a slide that was filled with coins. Seriously? She was grabbing all of the ones that she slid through. Right up until she slammed into a wall.
Okay, now she was in a fucking pit that had multi-colored tile work with questions marks on it. Great.
The steep incline up ahead took some running to get up, but there were a few more coins, so she was going to call that worth it.
Re: All Over Town: Warp Pipes!
"I CAN FLY!!!" he added as his tail whipped him into the air.
"I'M RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICH!" he concluded as the shower of coins spilled into his pillow case.
This was the best weekend of his life.
The Sky Above The Preserve: Coin Heaven!
There also seems to be a vine growing out of one of those ubiquitous green pipes that leads all the way up there, like you could climb right up and
steal a singing harp from the giant whoops wrong vineget to those coins, if you don't have flying powers to get up there under your own steam.The clouds are solid, and the coins are scattered everywhere. Go nuts!
Careful, though; there might be flying Koopas to avoid, and those weird turtles with glasses that like to ride around on mini-clouds and throw spiky balls at you. Also, don't fall off the edge or between two clouds; unless you can fly, the landing will be fairly soft, but it'll be back in the dorms, just like you got zapped by a monster.
Re: The Sky Above The Preserve: Coin Heaven!
"I'm not going up there! I'm terrible with heights!" Baldrick protested, backing away slowly.
"Of course you are; you're terrible with everything. However if you don't want to be lauched up there by way of a kick to your backside, you'll start climbing now." Edmund, sensing from that balky little face that his threat might need some physical backup, took a run in Baldrick's general direction ---
And found himself fluttering up off the ground, while his raccoon tail whipped frantically back and forth.
........Right. He'd meant to do that. Yes.
Up to the clouds he went, though not without dropping a turnip on Baldrick's obstinate head as he passed over.
Just Off The Docks
Swimming, flying, or stealing a boat and rowing out to it will reveal a surface of wooden beams positively littered with gold coins, and no Captain about at all. (Aside from any who might be out treasure hunting.)
At the very end of the stern is a gray pipe; those brave enough to slide down will find a treasure box containing a random power-up:
red mushroom (EAT
VEGGIESFUNGUS, GET BIG)leaf (raccoon ears and tail)
fireflower (fireballs)
hammer (steel helmet and the ability to throw endless hammers!)
Once the box is opened, you'll find yourself dumped out into the water beside the ship. Whoops. Swim fast! There might be Bloobers in the water.
[One power-up per character; the pipe won't let you back down a second time. Player choice as to what you get, though if you want to randomize it (http://random.org), go for it!]
Re: Just Off The Docks
Eventually, he found the pipe and went down it. Once he did, he found a flower. When he touched it, his leather jacket turned white and he could suddenly spit fireballs from his mouth like some kind of... human-shaped producer of fire of some sort. One with a stormy disposition, at that.
Weird. And then he was suddenly back in the water, trying to make his way back to the wakeboard so he could get back to shore.
Re: Just Off The Docks
stolestole a boat tied up on the dock and rowed his way out to the ship he didn't recognize, then burst out laughing when he saw what was on the ship."When I get the Pearl back, this is what it will look like," he declared to no one, "except then the blighters would take all of me coin." He leaped down the pipe and emerged in the water with raccoon ears and a tail.
"Now I look like the other man!" he said happily to himself.
It was possible the concussion was leaving Jack even less rational than he usually was.
