Bare failure!
Russ says what I believe, HOOVER DAM IT MAX! YOU HAD ONE JOB, AND A PILE OF BONUSES, YOU HAD +89 on that roll. and you rolled a 7."Hoover Dam it boy!" Russ bellows, jigging furiously. "Now look what you've done!"
And Puck wasn't even his NAME! it was Robin Goodfellow.Wait a second. Puck wasn't Titania's child! He was her servant! Titania didn't even have any children!
HOOOOOOVER DAMN IT!!!!Puck's declaration is cut off by a furious shriek from… Winnifred?! How?! You saw her burn to ash, so how could she be... standing behind your group, with both of her sisters, looking more furious than you've ever seen her before.
#HooverDamItMax!!
Okay, no. Max is a danger to himself and others, we need to stage an intervention. Hoover Dam it, Max!ome on, you're amazing! You managed to make ballroom dancing look cool! What could happen?"
AVADA KEDAVRA!Think of me as a hag do ye? Man of action, bold and spry, fade and wither, til' ye diiieeeee!" Winnifred cackles as bolts of green lightning spring from her fingertips.
It's Hal Jordan! Or possibly John Stewart, anyways, Green Lantern is here to save us!
QM, why do you do the things you do?Then the trumpets kick it.
"It's close to midnight, and something evil's lurking in the dark…"
We'll get to roll again eventually.Really wish we hadn't flubbed Doof's dance combat check. He feels like too much of a bystander in this whole misadventure.
Only one way to answer that question: MUSICAL NUMBER!Eh, between the Fae, the two archmagi, the magic books in play, and Felldrake, I'm sure we can come up with a countermeasure.
Wait, is it only Gravity Falls zombies, or all zombies, that can be killed by music?
Doof, we believe in you, channel your incredible dancing skills.
bLuewErewOlf25 Intrigue Check: Keep Your CoolThe music changes again. A long-forgotten boombox, still embedded in the windshield of a crashed Huntsvehicle, crackles to life.

"Hoover Dam it boy!" Russ bellows, jigging furiously. "Now look what you've done!"
A look of apoplectic fury passes over Horvath's face as he began jigging in place as well, completely interrupting the spell that he was trying to cast. Drake Stone starts to actively fight back against the spell too now, looking abjectly horrified that he's being forced to dance to this hillbilly trash.
Janna looks about as mad as you've ever seen her. "We're not getting anywhere casting by ourselves! If you want to dispel this thing, cut it off at the source!"
"We've been trying." Russ replies. "But there's a lot of weight behind a coven of three witches attacking on Halloween night.
"It's an ancient idea." Russ says, taking in the lithe young blond and the portly middle-aged witch still lying on the ground. "The Maiden, the Mother and…"
Russ turns to see Winnifred, three feet away, glaring daggers at him.
"...and the Other One."
Winifred Occult Check: 69+30+20+20+5=144
Russ Martial Contest: 83+20+14+10+7=144
Tie!
The lady's got a point. Money comes and goes, but the worth of the soul is priceless."Winnie!" Mary cried. "Look!"
Pulled out of the jacket of Eli Pandarus, the Wizard of Wall Street, blinking in the dim streetlight, was the Manual of Witchcraft and Alchemy.
"I paid tens of millions of dollars for that!" Pandarus protests partway through a jig.
"I sold my immortal soul for it, so there!" Mary replies, snatching the book from his protesting fingers.
"Our apprentices suck! How come the pharmacist is the one with the good apprentice?"Horvath looks on in disbelief mixed with disgust at the cackling madwoman who'd gotten the better of him. She was distracted on two fronts, this was the perfect opportunity to break the spell. If only his feckless inferior was not so incompetent…
Pandarus fumes as the artifact of power he had obtained was clawed away from him. The tale of how Monty Hall had become his go-to mystical accomplice was a long and complicated one, but it often gave him cause to bemoan his current lack of spellcasting power.
The two men look up at each other, and the same thought passes through each of their minds at the same time. Wait a moment, what am I doing? I have a perfectly serviceable dark wizard right here.
Nothing else needed to be said. The two men approached each other, fighting off the power of the groove to begin a counterspell.
"Hey!" Janna called out. "You two need a little extra oomph over there?"

Excellent success!
"The girl has potential." Horvath admits.
"And cunning." Pandarus agrees. The two of them shift slightly to make room for a third point in the flow of magic.
Hah! Janna and Puck are getting along like a house on fire. Not three witches on fire though, because they're cheaters. That might be how Xanny managed to recruit Janna to his side in the bad timeline."Why, the lass picks her studies well." Puck grins, floating down.
Janna stares at the physical embodiment of chaos for a moment, steeling herself, and then says,
"Hey, what's up?"
"Why, I suppose it would be me." Puck replies, hovering up and down by way of demonstration. "But if you speak in the rhetorical sense, I did wonder if you might assist me in dispatching these vile crones."

Failure!
"EEEEEEEEEEEE!" Janna squeals.
Janna pauses, and leans casually against a wall. "...Yeah totally sure dude. I mean whatever, if you want. Like as long as there's no secret fairy debts or something."
Puck chuckles. "Very well then. A gift, willingly given. On both sides." He winks knowingly.
"I just got my scam shut down by Puck." Janna says, slightly dazed.
Well, singing skills, as the case may be. In Gravity Falls, zombies can be destroyed via perfect, three-part harmony singing.Doof, we believe in you, channel your incredible dancing skills.
Oh good. We're much better at singing than dancing.Well, singing skills, as the case may be. In Gravity Falls, zombies can be destroyed via perfect, three-part harmony singing.

You know, that'd actually be fun?
Thats a discworld reference? Mother, Maiden, Crone is a trope, thats existed since at least ancient greece, probably longer.Nice Discworld reference there...what´s next? Princess Coffee Java only operating once FTB-enabled? (read: once she´s got a Fluffy Teddy Bear from her "dad" to love for Christmas?)
Russ swears by american ideas and landmarks, ex. "Mount Rushmore" so its combining, "God Damn it" with the Hoover Dam, to create the ultimate american expression of frustration "Hoover Damn it!"Can someone explain the significance of Hoover Dam, by the by?

There's another thing he could have said that would be less advertiser friendly.Can someone explain the significance of Hoover Dam, by the by?
The idea of maiden, mother, crone is ancient. The crone taking offense to that description is the discworld reference.Thats a discworld reference? Mother, Maiden, Crone is a trope, thats existed since at least ancient greece, probably longer.

There's exactly a 1% chance of a tie occurring, as long as both have the same martial roll. Every 1 point of difference in martial reduces the chances of a tie by 0.01%. It's uncommon, but entirely possible, unlike the ridiculous Crit Success/Failure that punk'd out Syndrome.Also that saucy tie roll. That's something you don't see every day.
