There's a new type of damage - bleeding. If you're dealt bleeding damage, you won't immediately take the damage. Instead you'll be dealt 1 damage at the end of each turn until all bleeding damage has been dealt to you. Being dealt more bleeding damage adds to your total duration. Bleeding damage that has yet to be dealt to you will be displayed after your HP.

For instance, if you deal 3 bleeding damage to someone on Turn 1, they'll be dealt 1 damage at the end of turns 1, 2, and 3. If you deal 3 more bleeding damage to them on turn 2, they'll keep being dealt damage by it until turn 6.

Turn 11
<- Turn 10 | Turn 12 ->

Holy artery clogging batman! This is better than a promotion!

Keep a couple packets, hand out the rest to IT-coworkers.

5. You head over to IT and begin to hand out your chips. You give a few to people working, then you see that one-armed guy leaving his desk. Man, he probably goes through a lot. Definitely deserves some chips, at least. You hand him some and continue passing them out until you've given nine away.

Now you've got the same amount of chips you originally wanted, but you've also increased workplace morale. And one lady gave you a "You're the best!" sticker in return. It's still on the paper so you can stick it on whatever you want.

Go to somewhere with wi-fi, tables, and no one to bother me with their petty problems. Eat lunch, read the news.

2. As soon as you leave your desk, people start bothering you. First some guy gives you chips (you're pretty sure) out of pity, then you head to the break room. There's someone at every table. Then you head out by the elevators to stand by the hallway and there's some guy with a fire hydrant wandering around. You walk back to IT grumpily.

Head to Biotech support.  Keep an eye out for any fire axes.

3. You note down the departments' positions on the map: Finance in the northwest, Marketing in the northeast, Biotech Support in the southeast, and Law in the southwest. You head over to Biotech Suport and... this is just IT. And you can't see any fire axes.

Odd dream mean search for Nix time.

1. You wake up and find jagged knife at your throat. Fail in this task, the voice from your dream whispers, and your sentence shall be the same as his. The hand holding the knife places it in your lap, then begins to melt into nothingness.

You are now wielding a Ritual Blade (1d3 damage, 1d2 bleeding damage). Unfortunately, you have no clue where to find Nix.

Jake just stood still for a minute, in complete shock. He turned to his music rack (Maybe a few beats would remind him that this is some sort of dream), to find it shattered.
"Max? You can get up now! Max!"
Jake then realises that he probably is not going to get up anytime soon.
"Ah, shit!"
Jake starts to panic, wondering where to hide the body.
"Uh... I'll just prop him on his chair, and nobody will notice..."
Jake puts one of Max's arms around his shoulder and drags him back to his cubicle. If anyone asks, tell them that he's had too much to drink and needs to sit down. Put him on his chair.

3. You get him into his chair, but he falls out so you prop him up against the wall. It's not very convincing, but it's probably best that you leave.
Don't turn your back on the body.

Suddenly, everybody's in IT. Probably 'cause the lighting's so good.

Put sticker on monitor. Browse internet for funny cat images.

The subtlety was lost on me because I'm currently sleep deprived. If there are any errors in the turn, tell me, because that's not unlikely.

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

I've got a great cure for that.

Another scenario this could have been: the awakening of an elder god. I considered having Legal discover some sort of necronomicon-esque dark tome that was going to have horrible effects on the company, and NRDL would have found it instead of the police report had I gone with that option. I decided against it because I wasn't sure if I could pull off the Lovecraftian thing, and also I kinda wanted the game to be winnable.

Turn 12
<- Turn 11 | Turn 13 ->

Put sticker on monitor. Browse internet for funny cat images.

6. Haha, you find a picture of a cat holding its hands up to its mouth with the caption "invisible cheeseburger". A couple more clicks and... oh, that's porn. You close the window hastily. Nobody saw that, right?

Now that that's over with, Jake goes to look for a first aid kit to apply on himself.

5. You leave HR without incident - it seems any bystanders fled to less dangerous parts of the office before the fight was over. There's a little station near the receptionist's desk that the building's nurse keeps some medical stuff at, so you head over there.

The receptionist thinks about saying something, but you've got a heavy iron pipe and a lot of bruises. Not the most sociable appearance. She looks away while you clean your wounds. It takes a lot of neosporin, but you heal yourself to full HP.

Search inside for anything suspicious.

1. You search IT, find nothing, and head over to HR. You pass by some cubicles and... what is that. Is that a dead body? Oh god, it's that Payne guy. You rush in and shake him because that's how you're supposed to see if someone's alive or not. Yep, he's dead. And you're not sure what this wound on his side is. It doesn't look like anything you recognize.

"Nix, what the fuck have you done?"

Oh no, it's Kleinsman. "I found him like-"

"I don't want to hear a word from you, murderer."

He's blocking the exit to the cubicle. You're not sure if you can escape.

Find somewhere to eat lunch.

2. You still can't find anywhere to eat alone. This is getting really annoying.

I do something when I find him, first lunch, mmmm Turkey sandwich.

1. You pull out your turkey sandwich and head towards the break room, then trip over a protruding shark fin and drop your sandwich. Before you can do anything the shark pops up out of the carpet, grinds its lamprey-like mouth on the sandwich, and then pops back in and swims away. Looks like it couldn't eat it. Your sandwich is now ruined.

Event roll: 3. Max's corpse twitches. Nix and Kleinsman do not notice it.

Jake tries to calm down. I mean, there's no way he could of died, right? He had seen him that morning. And Randy couldn't have attacked us. I had just sent him a letter, and he was perfectly way. And he could probably bet that his CDs were all fine, and that he'd just imagined them breaking. Yes, he liked the sound of that better. Maybe something to eat would make him feel better. He'd probably have to have less to eat for lunch, but he didn't care.
He goes to the cafeteria, and gets a chicken and mayo sandwich. (Mmmm)
