Title: Even Less Evitable Failure: As easy as 1, 2, 3
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on October 12, 2012, 09:35:16 pm
This is a minimalist roll to dodge game. You are unlucky. To simulate this, your actions will be determined with a d3 rather than a d6.

To join, post a phrase at least three words long describing your character, then say your first action. If you die, you can get a new character. Simple, no?

Situation:

You are at the town gates. In the town are some shops, a town square with gallows, and the palace. Oh, and lots of houses. What do you do?
