Legend of the Ice Cream Cone Fish

A play-by-post adventure played on RPGgeek.

The Script

General plot: Once, long ago, Awesome World was protected by a giant ice cream cone fish. But, it was forgotten during a time of peace and now memories of our protector have disappeared. Now that Awesome World is under threat from a giant monarchy-hating robot and evil overlord, it needs its protector again! We have to bring back these memories and convince giant ice cream cone fish to come back. And to think all the Princesses wanted was to have a rocking summer at Awesome Fest...

• Place to Start: school auditorium during band rehearsal
• Shiny Thing: Ice Cream Cone Fish (glory type)
• Big Bad: Dr C. Lickin-Chip, evil overlord who hates the concepts of monarchy and aristocracy. He has several Lackeys:
  • Bumble-Bots. They're not super effective. They sort of bumble around and are prone to short-circuiting/overheating/falling over and not being able to get back up. Their design is flawed, but they're so cheap to build that no one has bothered to fix it. (Normal Lackeys)
  • Cyborgs. Slightly more efficient, but lack programmed AI. Large range of creatures from roaches to sharks. (Normal Lackeys)
  • Giant Evil Robot, the Dr's masterpiece programmed to share his views and do his bidding (Named Lackey)
  • Max, young academic who started working for the Dr. as a research project, hoping to learn more about Giant Evil Robot. Someone along the way he shifted from unbiased observer to dedicated crony, but can he be turned back around? (Named Lackey)

The Cast

Storm Cloud Princess

The Magical One (d4) (she/her/they/them)

• Realm: Clouds. Storm Cloud Princess knows everything about clouds. All clouds gravitate toward her, seemingly willing to do her bidding.
• Crown: A chic umbrella hat that expands to protect those nearby from the elements. This hat can spin when atop her head. When spun, it will generate its own atmosphere and produce magic clouds (clouds that rain healing potions, or produce hypnotic thunder, etc).
• Heart: Volatile
• Book: Fundamentals of Cloud Control
• Sword: Shurikens made of weather vanes
• Shoes: Levitating rubber heels that help Storm Cloud Princess reach tall into the sky when needed (Boots type)
• Beast: Zap, a tired, old lightning rod. He's known for redirecting lightning toward those nearby when angered!

Sea Shanty Princess

The Brainy One (d6) (she/her)

• Realm: All the creatures of the sea are her friends. She can sense their emotions and speak with them telepathically.
• Crown: A pirate hat. When she concentrates hard she can sense the location of any buried treasure in the vicinity.
• Heart: Vigilant!
• Book: An atlas containing maps of all the known lands (and some that are not)
• Sword: The tusk of a narwhal. It can be thrown like a javelin, and magically returns to the Sea Shanty Princess's hand.
• Shoes: Bright, yellow fisherman's boots that take on a life of their own and begin to dance the hornpipe whenever she sings a shanty (Dancing type)
• Beast: A sea turtle named Flip-Flop. He is able to walk on land, though much prefers to be carried!

Carrot Cake Princess

The Charming One (d8) (she/her)

• Realm: Carrots, which respond to her by growing quickly and sometimes to extraordinary size.
• Crown: A cap that resembles a white cream cheese frosting with carrots on the side pointing upwards. At times it can produce a small carrot (cup)cake which when offered to others often induces friendship.
• Heart: Exuberant
• Book: The Carrot Principle, which champions the carrot over the stick.
• Sword: Cake-Cutting Knife of Unusual Sharpness, although it can also be waved to help smooth out tense situations, like a blob of frosting on a cake.
• Shoes: Sensible gardening boots (Boots type)
• Beast: An orange pony named Beta (for all the beta carotene he enjoys in eating carrots). Beta is bold an outgoing, as an orange pony would be.

Punk Rock Princess

The Tough One (d10) (she/her/they/them) (Iggy Ramone)

• Crown: "The Singer's Scepter" - a dented, rusty microphone that always has enough cord to swing around and look cool (or smack someone from a distance)
• Heart: Industrious
• Book: "The History of RAWK" - The original title was about some other kind of general history, but people have covered the outside in stickers and sketches. It's also full of notes and drawings that other library patrons have added over the years.
• Sword: This completely thrashed looking guitar
• Shoes: Chuck Taylor All-Stars (Flats type)
• Beast: A chonky sewer rat who really enjoys pizza crusts. His noxious belching is a natural defense mechanism.
