Title: Roll To Roll To Dodge: A Meta-Adventure [Turn 126: Booze Mist Rising]
Post by: Gatleos on December 26, 2010, 07:39:00 pm

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Sorry about the wall of text. It doesn't take too long to read. If you just wanna know what this is all about, skip to the Basic Rules section below. Lazy-ass.

"HELLO, BAY12ERS. I WOULD LIKE TO PLAY A GAME."
You suddenly snap awake. Jeez, your head is killing you. Did you go out drinking last night? You can't remember. Finally your head clears, and you realize you're sitting upright in a chair. But... this isn't your chair. This isn't even your house! A wave of panic washes over you, and you try to stand up. You fail. Looking down, you realize that you're shackled to the chair. You can't move. What is this?!
"AH, I SEE THE EFFECT OF THE TRANQUILIZERS IS WEARING OFF. YOU FLESHBAGS ARE SO EASILY MANIPULATED."
An eerie synthetic voice is booming from some wall-mounted monitors in front of you. Finally, you become aware of your surroundings. You're in some kind of small, well-lit room. The walls are covered in some kind of complex... circuitry? Before you can examine it any closer, however, you hear a loud groan to your left. Whipping your head around, you see another person, and quickly realize that there are 4 other people in the room, shackled to chairs just like yours. They all seem just as confused as you.
"NOW, LET US BEGIN, BAY12ERS," the robotic voice continues, "I WILL NOW EXPLAIN THE RULES OF OUR LITTLE GAME."
"Where are we?!" yells the man on the far right.
"WHY, MY HOME OF COURSE."
"Who are you? What do you want with us?" another says.
"SO I HERD YOU LIEK RTD."
"You mean... r-roll to dodge?" you finally blurt out.
"YES FLESHBAG, WE ARE GOING TO BE PLAYING A VERY SPECIAL GAME OF RTD TODAY. IF YOU WOULD ALL BE SO KIND AS TO LOOK AT YOUR LEFT ARMS..."
You look down, and realize there's some kind of... screen strapped to your wrist. In fact, everyone has them.
"THIS IS YOUR INPUT/OUTPUT SCREEN, WHERE YOU WILL COMMUNICATE WITH ME, THE GM. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION VIA THE OFFENDING PLAYER'S EXPLOSIVE COLLAR."
You feel your neck. It's there, alright.
"THE DEATH OF A PLAYER'S CHARACTER IN-GAME WILL ALSO RESULT IN THAT PLAYER'S IMMEDIATE TERMINATION. THE DEATH OF A PLAYER VIA OUTSIDE MEANS RESULTS IN A NEW PLAYER ENTERING THE GROUP AND OPTIONALLY TAKING THE DECEASED PLAYER'S CHARACTER. YOUR BACKGROUND INFO INDICATES YOU ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH STANDARD RTD RULES, SO I WILL NOT RECITE THEM. END OF EXPLANATION."
Suddenly and without warning, the monitors, which up to that point had been displaying nothing but static, turn off. The shackles open, and you are free to stand.
"So... I guess we're playing RTD then." says the guy on the right who spoke up before.
"What do you think it meant by 'the death of a player via outside means'...?" you reply.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling we'll find out soon enough."
Just then, the wrist-mounted screens begin to flicker...

Spoiler: Basic Rules (click to show/hide)

Well, hey! This is my first time GMing an RTD, so naturally I picked the most complex concept for one I could think of. So, what is this all about? This is a Roll To Roll To Dodge! The basic premise is that your character is playing a game of RTD. You must proceed through the RTD campaign your character is playing, while dealing with outside complications to your character him/herself. Of course, your character is hardly in a mundane situation...
Each player posts 2 actions per turn: one for your character to deal with real dangers (The Meta Phase), and one for your character's character (The Fantasy Phase). Other than that, all standard RTD rules (http://rpgcode.ultimaterpg.org/t3-roll-to-dodge-rules) apply. Perma-death is in effect, as are over-the-top action movie physics in both worlds. Oh, and if you fail to post an action within 48 hours or the majority of remaining players vote for it, you will be NPC'd for the following turn.

Spoiler: Character Creation (click to show/hide)

So obviously, you're going to have to create 2 characters. There isn't much information to be given, though. For both characters, you need this:

• Name: Your character's name. Name them whatever you want, but the meta-character is implied to actually be you.
• Occupation: Your character's former occupation. This will give them a +1 boost to one type of roll, a -1 to another, and a special skill. You can specify these if you want, but they are subject to balancing by me.
• Personality/Appearance: Completely optional, but will appear in your description.

The Meta Character is you, so their occupation must be one from real life (it can even be your actual occupation). The fantasy character can have any generic RPGish medieval occupation.

Spoiler: Injuries/Death (click to show/hide)

Injuries
---------
Light Bleeding: 10 healing points.
Fracture: Requires medical attention and 20 healing points.
Heavy Bleeding: Requires medical attention and 20 healing points.
Very Heavy Bleeding: Requires skilled medical attention and 30 healing points.
Broken Limb: Requires skilled medical attention, then 40 healing points.
Missing Limb: Never heals, obviously.
---------
You make a healing roll each turn after an injury has been sustained; the amount you roll is added to your healing points, and the wound disappears when you have enough. For major wounds (anything above light bleeding), you can't make healing rolls until you've received the appropriate medical attention. Only doctors can provide skilled medical attention properly, anyone else gets a -2 to first aid rolls.
Death
So... you're going to die eventually. Here's how it works: if your Fantasy Character dies, your Meta Character's explosive collar goes off, killing them. If your Meta Character dies but their Fantasy Character is still alive, the next player in the queue has the option of either making a new Fantasy Character, or assuming the deceased's. When a player is out, the next player in the queue takes their place in the Meta Party.

Spoiler: Goals (click to show/hide)

There's a lot more to this place than there seems to be. You may notice that your mysterious host never specified a win condition in its RTD game. Your goal in the Fantasy World is simply to survive and complete the campaign goals thrown at you. Your goal in the Meta World is to find out what the hell is going on and escape. Both will be occurring simultaneously.

And with that, you are free to sign up for a position.

Now might be an... erm, appropriate time to explain injuries. Here's how they work:
---------
Light Bleeding: 10 healing points.
Fracture: 20 healing points.
Heavy Bleeding: Requires medical attention and 20 healing points.
Broken Limb: Requires skilled medical attention, then 40 healing points.
Missing Limb: Never heals, obviously.
---------
You make a healing roll each turn after an injury has been sustained; the amount you roll is added to your healing points, and the wound disappears when you have enough. For major wounds (broken bone, heavy bleeding), you can't make healing rolls until you've received the appropriate medical attention.

I added this info to the OP.

There are three monitors on the front wall, the walls are covered in glowing circuitry, the floor is hard metal, and there's a door at the front of the room... DOOOOOR!!

What was our rolls? were they in the ...'s?

Oh, yeah. I probably should have explained those. The roll is listed before the action it applies to, in one of these:
(...)
If any part seems confusing, just tell me.
They also show up in your status after abilities. Mouse over them to see what they mean, but the green ones mean the ability is active, the black ones tell you how many perfect uses are required to level the ability up, and the red ones tell you how much cool-down is left.

Note that under heavy bleeding it says "medical attention", but under broken bones it says "skilled medical attention". Both require the medical attention before you can roll for healing, but anyone can apply normal medical attention. Skilled medical attention comes from a doctor.
tl;dr: You can treat it yourself.

I wonder, should a fracture require medical attention too? It seems more appropriate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_fracture#Treatment

Short version is, bones heal naturally but if you want it to heal back the way it was you need skilled medical attention to set the bone properly. If you want to regain function over the short term (as we are seeing here) you need some kind of immobilization to keep the bones from tearing the flesh and you need pain meds to avoid howling in agony every step.

Looks like the waiting list may not be waiting long! :D

Yes, considering what I just made Edgar do in the next turn, I'll say an improvised splint should be enough for a fracture.

Title: Re: Roll To Roll To Dodge: A Meta-Adventure
Post by: Repulsion on December 28, 2010, 11:19:00 pm

I think it shouldn't require SKILLED medical attention, but it should require medical attention. I mean, if you just set it at random without giving it attention medically then it will probably set crooked and whatnot, and if that happened in the RTD it would probably give a penalty to using that limb. However, I don't think that someone who's been walking with that leg their whole life and maybe even studied random medical notes and whatnot will need to have studied bone setting/doctoring/whatever to set it correctly.

He explains that the town is called Westport, and tells you all about how a secret gang of violent thieves who have a hideout under the weapons shop have been causing trouble, while the guards have been cracking down on their activities. He then gives you a map (http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/6103/westportmap.jpg) and heaves a massive sack of gold into your arms, thanking you profusely.

In the next turn, a player is unable to access their com screen. Effectively, this means in the turn after next their fantasy character will be inaccessible as well. There are several ways to handle this:

• Their character does nothing.
• Their character is NPC'd. I would probably take a page from Sean Mirrsen's book in controlling the NPC.
• Screw reality! Your meta character should be able to access their fantasy character if they're unconscious and the com screen is on another planet!

There's would be about 300 plot holes in this story if I had planned it any differently. Of course there are STILL plot holes, but...

Anyway, it seems that everyone either wants option 2 or 3. 2 would make more sense and allow for more strategy as your meta character actually affects their counterpart, but 3 would be more convenient and fun. Hmm...

A plasma bolt grazes your abdomen, searing the flesh! Just as you begin to fall to the ground, another bolt strikes you in the arm, narrowly avoiding destroying it completely. You are sent flying and slam into a wall, slumping to the floor.

FW: Get up. Leave. Head to weapon shop.

(...) Leaping to your feet, you bound toward the entrance!
"HALT!" the guard yells as he raises his weapon. Thinking fast, you fire a concussive water blast at the guards' feet (...). The blast ricochets harmlessly, but you still manage to leapfrog over the guards' heads. Landing outside the bar, you spot the weapon shop across the street and run inside.

Exit the roof by gracefully dropping into a barrel of grog. Drink my way back out of said barrel.

(...) You roll off the roof and fall head-first into the barrel of grog. It tips over and half the contents spill out, but you manage to drink quite a bit. FEEL THE POWAH!

Quote from: Frelock on December 30, 2010, 02:12:36 am

Fantasy: Shake the bartenders hand and thank him for his business, then walk over towards the weapon shop.

(...) As you leave the shop, one of the guards stops you.
"Do you know this woman?" he says, gesturing toward the struggling warrior.
"Never seen her before in my life!"
"I see. Well, watch your step. We're watching you."
The guard steps aside and you step out of the tavern, heading over to the weapon shop.

Fantasy: Attempt to hide my facial bruise while wandering away nonchallantly with the Hammer of !!SCIENCE!!. Attempt to fill hammer with rainwater at the next rainbarrel.

(...) Hey, your bruise already healed! Anyway, you decide to fill your hammer with something. Spotting a barrel of rain water outside the general store across the street, you walk over and fill the barrel halfway from it. Jeez, this thing is heavy! It could be an extremely useful weapon if only you were strong enough to swing it. You still manage to drag it around, though.

Okay, four actions are posted. I suppose I'll go with allowing both characters to be controlled individually, though that sort of defeats the original purpose. If I go this route, I should probably just retcon the existence of the com screens.

Your janitorial instincts cause you to be distracted by the mess of blood for a moment, but the element of surprise gives you enough time to regain composure. Performing a sweet drifting maneuver, you deliver a mighty whack to the second robot's head. IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE! The robot's head goes flying and its body slumps to the ground as you wonder why all of its critical systems were clustered together in the head. That makes absolutely no sen-WALL! Your mighty steed crashes into the side of the corridor as Frederick desperately wrestles with the other robot.

The manager's eyes widen.

I can recommend two things though - first, Dropbox for hosting images (especially like maps), and second, plasma is, almost by definition, a high-temperature ionized gas, so perhaps the next batch of security robots should pack more conventional firearms if they want to avoid completely cauterizing whatever wounds they inflict with them.

Eh, plasma, lasers, wave-motion guns... it's all the same in pseudo-science fiction. I was actually thinking about that cauterization thing when I first mentioned plasma. You're right though, I'll probably change it. :P

I only use Image Shack out of habit at this point, but I might try out Dropbox.

Anyway, thanks for the compliment! :) This is the very first one of these I've done, and there's a lot to figure out the first time.

FW: Hurriedly clean up the bin and follow Art.

(...) Before you can even start, you slip on a staff and fall on your back. This happens about 5 more times, at which point you get angry and accidentally blast a hole in the roof. The assistant manager tosses you out of the store!
“There he is!”
Oh crap, the guards from the tavern are coming toward you!

Quote from: HighEndNoob on December 31, 2010, 12:17:56 pm

Fantasy:
Ask someone with money to buy me those darts. Someone nice hopefully.

(...) Before you can open your mouth, Frelock dumps a mound of gold into your hands. "Thank me later," he says. He actually looks relieved to get rid of some of his riches. It doesn't seem to make a dent in his gold, though. You bought a new 20 pack of throwing daggers! Whoopee!

Quote from: Frelock on December 31, 2010, 01:15:17 pm

Fantasy:Sell Hammer, then follow bowdown's lead

(...)
You approach the assistant manager, and sell the Hammer of !!SCIENCE!! for 37 gold. You then proceed into the back room of the weapon shop, following behind Artymir and the manager thieves' guild guard.
"He with you?" says the guard, pointing at you.
"Yeah, he wants in too," Artymir nods to the guard.
The guard pulls out a silver key and opens up a door leading to a winding staircase which seems to go beneath the weapon shop.
"Follow me," says the guard, as he descends the steps.

Quote from: monk12 on December 31, 2010, 08:12:29 pm

Fantasy: You know what's better than a hook hand? A GRAPPLING Hook hand!

(...) AWWWWW YEEEAAAAHHH. You just had the best idea! You walk over to the weapon shop, looking for something to use as a firing mechanism. The second you walk in the door, Frelock shoves a pile of gold in your arms before running into the back room for some reason. You buy a retractable harpoon gun! Now, if you can just find someone to turn this into a sweet grappling hook arm...

Quote from: bowdown2q on January 02, 2011, 12:21:08 am

Fantasy: become mildly depressed at the sale of my hammer, then ask around the shady underbelly about people near the mayor. become curious about servants.

(...) You, Frelock and the thieves' guild guard finally reach the bottom of the stairs and step into a torch-lit chamber. About a half dozen people, most of whom are wearing face-obscuring cloaks, are crowded around some blueprints scattered on a small wooden table. As you enter the room, one of them stands up and introduces himself.
"Greetings. I am Lucas, head of the Westport thieves' guild. If Yardil (that must be the guard's name) allowed you inside the guild hall, you must have some business with us. Now, what would that be?"
"We heard that this guild could attain some information about those closest to the mayor. What could you tell us?"
"Ah, yes. The town guard are closing in on our position, so we're planning to skip town and set up shop somewhere else. Before we go, however, we are raiding the mayor's manor by nightfall. We can give you the information you need. What business do you have with the mayor?"

(can we have a map of currently known areas?)

It's getting far too complicated to keep describing the map in words, so I'll make a map of each area. Keep in mind that, since this is RTD, the entire universe is like a schroedinger's city. So my maps are made as we go and will make no sense architecturally. Sort of like a Dwarven fortress, actually. :P But I'll do my best at making sense of it anyway.

The blue lines are windows, crosses are doors, and all the rooms are labeled. Future maps will follow a similar format.

(...) You manage to stand again, and leave the Medical Bay. What happened in here?! There's scrap metal and burn marks everywhere! Stepping around the debris, you motion for the others to follow when they are ready, and approach the elevator. It looks like a normal elevator, with up/down call buttons. You press the up button, step inside, and look out the window for the first time.

Desperately find something to stop the bleeding.

(...) Receiving near-superhuman strength from an unknown source, you pull yourself onto your feet and grab for a roll of gauze and alcohol. Your eyes bug out of their sockets and you let forth a scream of primal rage as you pour the whole bottle of alcohol onto your wound! Kyle peeks in, gets a terrified expression on his face, then slowly backs away. Rapidly swinging the gauze around your torso, you manage to hold back the bleeding enough to patch yourself up. [If you had rolled anything but a six, you probably would have died!]

You press a large button on the back of its head, and it suddenly comes to life! It quickly rolls over to Paulie and shoots a blue syringe into his neck, then sprays some kind of translucent foam on his bleeding plasma burns. It wraps the foamy areas in a silky gauze, applies some kind of gelatinous cast to his hand, then turns toward Frederick. "No thanks, I got this covered." says Frederick, twitching a little. The robot shrugs, then rolls over to the corner and deactivates.

You suddenly bolt upright, panting and sweating! You're in the med bay. Looking down, you see some gauze wrapped around your wounds.

Quote from: Frelock on January 03, 2011, 03:06:37 am

Fantasy: Formulate a cunning plan with the thieves guild...or listen to the plan they doubtlessly have already.  When are we moving in?  How much time will we have?  What are the exit strategies?[/b]

(...) "Here's the plan," says Lucas, stepping over to the table in the center of the room, "at midnight tonight, we will gather by the docks. We will then split into two groups. We've obtained the floor plan of the mayor's manor and made copies for both groups, here it is."
He hands you the blueprints. (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17790644/ManorPlan.bmp)
"Group A will enter the basement through the trap door on the west side. Group B will scale the north wall and enter from the balcony. If you've got a team you're using to perform this job, meet us at the given time and split however you want. We're going for the valuables, you do what you must. If things go bad, we've got smoke bombs. We'll all split up and regroup when we can."

Quote from: HighEndNoob on January 03, 2011, 06:24:17 pm

Fantasy:
Use my ninja skills to get onto the second floor Patio, stealthy.

(...) You take off your robe and run screaming toward the manor! Thus, you have done the least stealthy thing you could have possibly done. A patrol of guards pounces on you!

Quote from: monk12 on January 03, 2011, 10:16:27 pm

Fantasy: Inquire as to the price of the sloop, then find somebody who seems capable of making the Grappling Hook and Harpoon Gun one with my arm. Perhaps that fellow who knows about SCIENCE!

You manage to find the manager of the shipyard and ask him how much the sloop is. He looks at you funnily for a moment, then replies, "Ahwr, 'bout 800 gold should cover the costs. You don't look like the type to be buyin' such a ship, though."
You are unable to find anyone trained in the art of !!SCIENCE!!, however.

Quote from: bowdown2q on January 04, 2011, 01:17:27 am

Quote from: dermonster on January 04, 2011, 05:31:32 pm

FW: Go with them. Try to slow the journey significantly in small ways, though.

(...) You begin walking with the guards to the barracks, making sure to trip every 10 steps or so to slow them down. You only manage to get about halfway to the barracks.

The skittering is still getting louder, so you peek out of the medical bay. Spiders. Mechanical spiders the size of baseballs. There are hundreds of them, and they're coming this way from the crew quarters! Stepping into action, you begin wildly spraying the hall with plasma. There're too many!

Fantasy: Discreetly evaluate the militia presence at the shipyard, then search for SIDE QUEST!!!

(...) Channeling your guard detecting powers, you see: 2 guards standing by the customs office in the shipyard, and a few navy officers conversing by the far pier. You're about to talk to someone about a side-quest when you suddenly discover a new power: you can detect side-quests telepathically! Scanning the pier, you notice side-quests from the shipyard manager, one of the navy officers, and a crusty old drunkard by the customs office. It kind of gives you a headache. You should probably practice.

Somehow, you manage to drop the price down to 350 gold. The sack feels a lot lighter now, and the sloop is yours! According to the shipyard manager, she doesn't have a name yet.

(...) Grabbing the mecha-spider, you rip it open and rewire it! Staring into its mechanical soul, you suddenly understand it. Running into the hall, you leap into the swarm of mecha-spiders and begin ripping them open! The swarm surrounds you and begins lashing out at you, but you keep grabbing more spiders and altering their circuitry. Finally, just as the swarm is about to engulf you, you activate the spiders' altered AI. The altered spiders jump into action, splitting apart and melding together into one super mecha-spider! Bursting free of the mound of twitching metal appendages, you jump onto the super mecha-spider and it gallops (try to imagine a 2-foot-tall mecha-spider galloping) to the elevator!

It's dark, and the rain falls in thick sheets around you all as you gather behind the mayor's manor. Eight thieves' guild members are already at the meeting place.
"Glad you could all make it," says Lucas, "I trust you all remember the plan. Split into your group and head into the manor. Let's get this done fast."
The thieves split into two groups: group A led by Lucas, and group B led by Jimmy Rickets (Edgar recognizes him by the Naval Officer's description).

As expected, it's a cavernous room with several large pieces of machinery used for maintenance. There are no ships currently inside, but the walls are covered in hemispherical slots, some of which contain some kind of spherical satellite.

Look for anything of value in the hanger

(...) You run further into the hangar and find a SHINY RED BUTTON clearly marked "SCRAMBLE THE DRONES".
"Ooh! I wonder what this does?!"
Immediately after pressing it, a deafening noise fills the hangar as all the spherical objects embedded in the walls dismount from their alcoves and let out a screeching siren! The distant figures in jumpsuits at the other end of the hangar make a break for the elevator they arrived in as the attack drones brandish large laser rifles from a lower compartment and begin zooming around the hangar!

Quote from: monk12 on January 12, 2011, 01:06:19 pm

Meta: Get back in elevator, head to Main Deck

(...) You trip over your own feet as a drone passes overhead, accidentally tossing a grenade into the air! The grenade obliterates the drone and a rain of shrapnel flies in every direction!
Dodgin' time!

• dermonster: (...) Several large pieces of shrapnel scrape you as they fly past, and one especially large piece pins you to the mecha-spider by your leg!
• Frelock: (...) A few pieces of shrapnel fly your way, but you deftly dodge them and get back on your feet.
• monk12: (...) The largest chunk of the drone lands directly on you, crushing your legs and rendering you immobile.
• HighEndNoob: (...) You kick physics in the balls in an attempt to dodge the shrapnel and backflip 15 feet into the air, landing on top of one of the security drones! This won't end well...
• bowdown2q: (...) You're cowering in the elevator, the shrapnel can't reach you.

The drones begin to attack, firing lasers in every direction! GAAAAHHHHH

(...) The rats manage to rip out the screaming guard's throat and get a jump on the other one as he enters the room.
"What's going on in he-"
(...)
"AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!"
The rats leap onto the guard's face and knock him to the floor, then slit his throat. The barracks is empty save for you and that female warrior from the bar, who is in the other cell. The rest of the guards must be up at the manor...

(...) The mecha-spider gallops toward the elevator, dragging you backwards as you fumble with some circuitry on its back. Using the mecha-spider's wireless system that you just made up, you attempt to hack into the drones' AI and... it works. A lot. You receive a wireless signal from all the drones at once:
"NEW DIRECTIVE: PROTECT HUMANS, ATTACK ALL HOSTILE BEINGS IN VICINITY.;=-> 58 HOSTILES DETECTED."
Just as you reach the elevator, the drones stop firing at you and the others and start firing at each other! Robot parts are flying everywhere! It's a free-for-all!

Quote from: HighEndNoob on January 14, 2011, 03:53:15 pm

Meta: Army-Crawl to the elevator, with the aid of the GM somehow.

(...) You activate the GM and allow it to drag you along the hangar floor toward the elevator! You crash into the back of the elevator and collapse in a heap.

Quote from: bowdown2q on January 15, 2011, 01:46:46 pm

Meta: what I did last time, but with less fail.

(...) You try to heave Monk into a sitting position, but slip and fall again. *SIIIIIIIIIIGH*

Shrapnel Everywhere!

• dermonster: (...) You're in the elevator, the shrapnel can't reach you.
• Frelock: (...) You quickly step out of the way of the flying shrapnel. It doesn't even graze you.
• monk12: (...)The energy shield effortlessly vaporizes the chunks of flying metal and lasers, and the arcing electricity begins to intensify! Massive bolts of electricity begin to strike the drones, causing even more shrapnel to fly in every direction! The lights in the hangar begin to flicker as the energy shield saps electricity from them and begins to crackle loudly. Finally, a bolt even bigger than the rest shoots across the room and with a deafening BANG strikes the force-field! You know, the only one separating you from the vacuum of space? The shield starts to drain energy at an alarming rate!
• HighEndNoob: (...) The shrapnel and lasers can't reach you in the elevator.
• bowdown2q: (...) You manage to crouch under the violently pulsating shield as shrapnel is annihilated around you!

The grappling hook wraps around the guard's waist and you pull him over the edge! He falls to the ground in a heap as the other guards begin to descend the rope. Your wounded arm leaves a thick trail of blood as you sprint toward the boat, and you feel faint.

Everyone in the elevator stares at you for a moment. You prepare to close the elevator door, and...

Hundreds of metal shards fly past as you slam into the back wall of the elevator and the doors close behind you. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JustInTime)

I sure have been enjoying watching this play out. Interesting story, just about the right level of crazy, and I love the soundtrack. It's a neat idea, and the selections have been great. (I have to admit I'm particularly curious what would play if an explosive collar goes off in the elevator next turn!) I am, of course, totally rooting for you guys, but this seems like a good time to get on the waiting list. ;D

I've wanted to join for a while, but I couldn't figure out what to do for a character. I thought of rolling a d6, but unfortunately only had three make that four five possibilities to choose from. (Huh. Maybe if I spend long enough editing my post I can make it a full 6!)

I probably shouldn't mention it, but I've noticed a few minor errors and typos. Feel free to ignore me--I know my inner play-tester and proofreader can be highly annoying.

• (inventory) Didn't the pebble in HighEndNoob's inventory explode harmlessly back in Turn 8?
• (inventory) Likewise, isn't Monk's energy shield flying around out of control, either in the hangar or space?
• (locations) It's possible that the hangar being open to space is more important than the drones having scrambled, especially since the surviving drones are now lost in space.
• (elevator controls) "Compromised"

Well, thanks! My favorite RTD's to read are the ones that are neither too random nor too realistic. Just an over-the-top action movie with a vaguely defined story for structure. That's what I was trying to duplicate with this. And there's a whole lot more music where that came from. ;D

I'm incredibly anal about spelling and continuity errors, and I've caught as many as I could. Thanks for pointing those out, I fixed them. I think I'll keep the pebble since, you know, it's a pebble. Picking one up isn't notable enough to prevent me from retconning it into existence. And you might want to look at the elevator controls again, there's no o that I could see.

Meta: Cover Fred's back

(...) You pick your broken body up off the floor and give a thumbs-up to Frederick. "I've got your back, man!"
"Uh... thanks?" Frederick seems skeptical that the guy with two working limbs can "have his back".

Quote from: dermonster on January 19, 2011, 06:50:21 pm

RW: Try to fiddle with the mecha spiders settings and implement a more efficient setup.

(...) You learn a bit about the mecha-spider's inner-workings, and manage to increase its combat efficiency.

Meta:Find the medical bay.  Tweak the odds.

(...) You run further down the hall, and eventually enter a large chamber. There are eight glowing disks situated in a circular pattern on the floor, and a large blast door at the front of the room. Looking at the other side of the room you see several other corridors and... the medical bay!

(...) One of the guards appears to be out cold, the other two who were knocked over are stunned. Another guard is running toward you, and the last one is standing over Artymir. You bend over to check on Edgar, and deliver a mighty slap to his face. He's jarred back into consciousness and leaps to his feet!
"IT'S PARTY TIME!"
In an adrenaline-fueled frenzy, he leaps at the other guard and (...) roundhouse kicks him straight in the chest! The guard sails fifteen feet through the air and lands on his head, snapping his neck! Edgar seems to have over-exerted himself and collapses to the ground breathing heavily.

RW: Ride mecha spider to the big room and examine all that is inside of it.

(...) The mecha-spider races down the hall with you on its back, and stops near the center of the large room. You look around and take note of everything in the room. There is a set of eight dimly glowing discs on the floor. Going around clockwise they are blue, pink, green, brown, red, purple, cyan, and yellow. At the head of the room is a large blast door labeled "Bridge". It's covered in yellow circuitry. Finally, at the center of the room there is a pedestal with a monitor mounted on top. Frederick approaches the monitor and punches the screen!

Meta:Examine sun thing in center of room, then get a new arm in the prosthetic lab (preferably with a machine-gun built in (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArmCannon))

(...) You run up to the monitor in the center of the room and deliver a solid punch to the screen, cracking it! The screen suddenly lights up and you (and, presumably, the others) hear the familiar mechanical voice in your heads.
"GREETINGS GROUP 364. IT APPEARS YOU HAVE MADE IT TO THE TELEPORTATION ROOM. ARRANGED AROUND YOU ARE A SET OF TELEPORTATION PADS CORRESPONDING TO THE KEYCARD ACCESS LEVELS. EACH PAD CAN BE USED TO TELEPORT ELSEWHERE IN THE SHIP ONCE YOU HAVE FOUND THE MATCHING PAD. THE YELLOW BLAST DOOR IN FRONT OF YOU LEADS TO MY CONTROL ROOM, AND IS SEALED WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL SECURITY: YELLOW. IN ORDER TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE, YOU MUST USE EACH KEYCARD STATION IN THE SHIP TO INCREASE YOUR ACCESS LEVEL UNTIL YOU CAN ENTER THE CONTROL ROOM. YOU WILL ALSO FIND SIMILAR DOORS SCATTERED ABOUT THE SHIP WHICH REQUIRE LOWER ACCESS LEVELS TO OPEN. YOU MAY NOW BEGIN THE TRIALS. END OF TRANSMISSION."
Heading into the central medical bay, you see that the door to the cryogenics and prosthetics lab requires access level pink to enter.

Unless there's any objection, the name of the ship will officially be The Borealis next turn.

You're about to set out on your high-seas adventure! Keep in mind that this ship will work similar to an actual ship: you need to split up navigation, sailing, and bilge duties to travel effectively over water. You may be occasionally interrupted by events while on the ocean. The real adventure is starting in both worlds in the next few turns.

(...) You closely examine the ring of multi-colored teleporters situated around the room. Each one seems to correspond to an access level, indicated by its color. With a sudden rush of inexplicable fury, you stomp your foot on the nearest one. A bolt of bright blue energy shoots from the pad and sends you flying through a gap between dimensions! When you finally come to rest, you stand up and find yourself in an unfamiliar room.

Quote from: dermonster on January 20, 2011, 08:19:25 pm

RW: Ride mecha spider to medical bay. Attempt to get someone to heal this Heavy bleeding I have. If nobody is around, heal it myself.

(...) The mecha-spider extends a long metal appendage and breaks down the door before galloping in. This medical bay is much bigger than the other one; there are two medi-bots like the one you saw before sitting in the corner. You ride over to one and activate it.
"DO YOU REQUIRE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE?"
You point to your bleeding leg. The medi-bot nods (?) at you and fetches some gauze from a locker. It then proceeds to spread some sort of ointment on your wound and wrap the gauze around your leg.
"TREATMENT COMPLETE."

Quote from: Frelock on January 21, 2011, 01:34:57 am

Meta: Explore in the sector 1 direction

(...) You peek down the hall, but can't see much further than the "Sector 1" sign.

Quote from: monk12 on January 21, 2011, 07:50:40 pm

Meta: Find/activate medbot, get healing.

(...) Paulie carries you into the medical bay and activates the medi-bot.
"DO YOU REQUIRE HEALING?"
"Yes!!!"
The medi-bot looks at your legs and produces a syringe.
"THIS SERUM WILL HELP TO QUICKLY MEND YOUR BROKEN APPENDAGES." it says as it injects the liquid into your calf. It then proceeds to spray some sort of white foam onto both legs and your finger, which quickly hardens into some tough-looking casts.
"TREATMENT COMPLETE."

1-You point your harpoon gun at yourself and make a monk-kabab.  Remember, pointy side out next time!
6-You successfully send a harpoon to High-end-noob.  He receives it in the face.  More accurately, in the eyeball.  The barbs catch on his eye socket, and his head is ripped from his body as the boat pulls away.  The body collapses as a strangely grinning, one-eyed head follows the boat...for all eternity.

That's to prevent people from holding up the game too long. Bowdown told us he would be gone for a few days in advance, so we don't have to wait for him.

EDIT: Still, I suppose it's been a while. I'll give him three turns to return (including the next one), and then detonate. So, Monk might want to consider that. :P

Quote from: dermonster on January 22, 2011, 09:34:11 pm

FW: Go down and pump the pilge. Try to use my magic to at least make the water less viscous, so as to make it flush out easier. (I assume bilges have pumps to drain water outside the ship?)

(...) You slip down into the bilge and take over pumping duties. It's a lot more tiring than you thought, but you expertly operate the pump! (...) After a while you do begin to get tired, so you attempt to help yourself using your water magic. All the water in the bilge immediately drains, and the porous wood in the ship's hull dries out! A brittle section of the hull springs a leak.

Quote from: HighEndNoob on January 22, 2011, 10:51:07 pm

Fantasy: Climb the Harpoon cord onto the boat.

(...) You begin climbing hand-over-hand up the harpoon cord and toward the ship! Monk's struggling to hold on to the harpoon gun...

Quote from: monk12 on January 23, 2011, 12:17:19 am

Fantasy: Help HighEndNoob aboard the Borealis, then take over Sailing duties. Ponder what adventures await.

(...) With all your strength, you yank on the harpoon gun! The cord, harpoon and HighEndNoob fly over your head and slam into the mast. (...) You then proceed to guide The Borealis into the northwestern wind. You hold onto the rigging and swing the sails into the correct position! Wind fills the sails.

Quote from: Frelock on January 23, 2011, 05:41:28 pm

Fantasy:See if there's any manuals on sailing around here.

(...) Hey, a sailing manual! That's unusual for a ship like this to just come with a manual. Score! It's pretty thick too. You nearly drop it overboard in your excitement!

Quote from: bowdown2q

NPC'd (KAMIKAZE)

(...) With a mad glint in your eye, you lunge for Frelock! You pin him to the ship's railing and he drops the manual overboard. You begin choking him and trying to push him over the edge! Suddenly, the female warrior yells, "At last, I've found you demon!" She pulls a dimly glowing sword from her back and lunges for you! (...) Her aim is true, (...) but you dodge her strike and counterattack! (...) You aim a powerful roundhouse kick at her torso, (...) but she quickly ducks under your strike and (...) swings at your legs! (...) You overreact, push Frelock to the deck and trip over the railing! You're holding on by one hand.

Fantasy: Give sword and armor to Derm, sword to HEN, and armor to Monk; talk to warrior about demons and such.

This should counteract Derm's squishy wizard fault, HEN's clumsy fighter fault(as that only applies to attack rolls), and Monk's terrafobia fault(as that only applies to dodge rolls).

(...) Opening the bathroom door, you see what appears to be a normal old bathroom. Just a lot more futuristic, with lots of automated crap. The janitor's closet looks like the one you saw before, with various cleaning supplies inside. There's also a potted plant of a species you've never seen before at the end of the hall. You can't see any more than that.

Quote from: Frelock on January 24, 2011, 12:59:41 am

Meta:Scalpel out, cautiously advance.  Either investigate scene, or slice the first hostile thing that comes into view

(...) You walk past the rows of monitors, holding your scalpel in front of you. Nearing the end of the room, you bend over and check the body. He's dead, alright. He's wearing the same jumpsuit as you, too. Looking at his (undetonated) explosive collar, you see a number: "357".
?: "Group 364, huh?"
You spin around and hold your scalpel in front of you. Standing before you is a human... you think. His right arm appears to have been replaced with a skeletal robotic one. Where the left half of his face should be, there is some sort of mechanical... mask? It's like part of his skull was replaced with metal.
Frederick: "Who-"
?: "I don't have time to talk. I would kill you now, but you look like the rest. You won't make it far."
Suddenly, he leaps into the air and grabs onto a gaping hole in the ceiling overhead. He swings himself into the shaft and disappears.

The warrior lowers her guard a bit.

You glance at the GM, then back at John.

FW: Head upstairs and Try to restrain Arty

(...) You sprint up the stairs onto the deck and pin down Arty! He can't move. After a few moments he goes limp.

Quote from: Frelock on January 24, 2011, 12:54:35 pm

Fantasy: Gather up and distribute armor again, inform everyone that there may be a demon on board, then run down to keep watch on the mayor.

(...) You give the armor to the others as planned. As you do so, you come to a realization.
Frelock: "The mayor!"
Warrior: "What?"
Frelock: "The mayor is a demon! It must be him, he's below deck. What else do you know about this demon?"
Warrior: "Wait, you kidnapped the mayor?!"
Frelock: "It's a long story..."
Warrior: "Is he in the brig?"
Frelock: "Wha- yes."
Warrior: "Ah, the sword is pulling me in that direction. It must be him."
Frelock: "So you believe us then?"
Warrior: "Yes. Alright, listen: you have a highly dangerous demon aboard this ship. He's lost his powers, but he will soon regain them if we don't hurry."
Frelock: "How do we kill him?"
Warrior: "There is only one way: we must cast him into Mt. Helmath."

Quote from: monk12 on January 24, 2011, 03:05:19 pm

Fantasy: Set course for the Jungles of Piercing! Also tell everyone the Mayor is batty as a belfry.

(...) You poke your head out of the trapdoor and pull yourself onto the deck, then take over navigation.
Edgar: "Alright, off to the Jungles of Piercing! ...Where's the Jungles of Piercing?
Warrior: "On Helmath Island."
You grab the map from Frelock and stare at it for a moment.
Edgar: "We're off to Helmath Island!"

Edgar: So, how do you know this demon, Mrs...?
Warrior: Thelia. My name is Thelia. I am an enlisted woman from the nearby human fort of Guildplanks. I and a few dozen other soldiers were given the task of tracking down the demon lord Ogomspoxom and finishing him off. He was once the leader of a dark goblin fortress to the southwest, but the whole place was demolished by some adventurer dual-wielding dragon corpses. Ogomspoxom has been on the run since then. We caught up to him once and my companions managed to weaken him with this. [She holds up the sword.] He escaped however, and we suspected that he was masquerading as a human and had convinced a nearby town to elect him as its ruler.

Calling upon the mystic forces of the life plane, you cast all the summoning energy you can muster toward the rat! Nothing happens for a moment, then George grows three times his original size and... his tail turns into a scorpion stinger?! Awesome.

Whichever one makes them not shoot each other, disable that.

(...) You close your eyes and type with your feet, and still manage to somehow hack into the battle-mechs' programming from the control room. You deactivate every friendly-fire protocol you can find. Suddenly, you hear several robotic voices speaking in unison from out in the hall:
"FRIENDLY-FIRE PROTOCOL DISENGAGED=>NEW HOSTILES LOCATED NEARBY=>ACTIVATING SELF-DESTRUCT FRAGMENTATION DEVICE."
Uhhh...

Meta: Go examine the robots for any weaponry.

(...) Nope. looks like the robots were destroyed completely.

Quote from: monk12 on January 28, 2011, 02:09:19 pm

Meta: Explore the ceiling hole.

(...) You drag yourself through the hole, looking around as you do so. Looks like part of the ventilation system exploded right here. The vents get far too narrow to continue ahead.

Quote from: HighEndNoob on January 28, 2011, 06:00:51 pm

Meta: check the destroyed robots, than clean it up.

(...) You happily clean up the mess left by the mechs. You feel better now.

Quote from: _DivideByZero_ on January 28, 2011, 08:52:15 pm

Meta: Ouch! Who did that?
Yell at the smoldering remains and punch the door.

(...) You begin to yell loudly at the debris, slip, and fall face-first into the pile of jagged metal. That's gonna leave a mark.

Fantasy: Tell the Naval officers that I am on the track of notorious pirate Jimmy Rickets. I knew he was in the heist on the Mayors Mansion, and thought he had escaped onto this ship. However, I have now learned the horrible truth that Jimmy was in a secret demon cult, and that he had used his ancient pirate magics to summon his Demon Lord Ogomspoxom, crushing the mind of the mayor, eating his soul and inhabiting his body. I found out, however, and foiled his extremely devious plan to manipulate the guards and the Navy into creating an evil Empire. Now we need to throw him in a volcano to send him back to the Hell from whence he came.

Copy the program onto a nearby hard drive / screen only capable of playing textyman and other various minigames. Distribute it to an undefined amount of other screen things and give them to others.

That solves the limited users thing. I think.

Snap out of it!

Quote from: monk12 on February 03, 2011, 10:07:23 pm

Is there any enemies left on the ship? How far off is the island?

There could very well be a guy with a big knife getting ready to jump out and slash your throat as soon as you open the cabin door. And the island is exactly as far away as it was when the ship sank. You're 2/3 of the way there.

That reminds me:

FW: Climb back on board. Suck navy under the sea.

(...) You're unable to grasp the rope, so you turn to the navy crew and will the water to suck them to the ocean floor. (...) Suddenly, the storm thickens around the ship and the rain begins to fall even harder than before! Brief flashes of light illuminate the darkness that has enveloped the ship as lightning streaks across the sky. The water stands still for a moment, then a massive whirlpool at least fifty feet wide grabs hold of the sailors and the ship! The water current slams you against the side of the ship and you only barely manage to hold onto the raft.

Figuring George must be underwater right now, you focus your summoning powers and attempt to teleport him back to you. Suddenly, a bubble of water blinks into existence on the deck and washes outward, revealing George! But he's... different. You must have used too much summoning energy and glinched him with a fish when you teleported him!

Eventually all the daggers stick in the wooden walls, but not before one bounces off of a hanging battleaxe and showers a small trail of gunpowder with sparks! The gunpowder begins burning. Only now do you realize that this room is also used to store the ship's whole supply of gunpowder, and that burning trail of gunpowder leads right into a leaking barrel!

Post by: Dermonster on February 13, 2011, 10:28:32 pm

Oh no everyone panic, we haven't heard anything about this in a half-day or two. Quick there is only one thing to do, and that's to run around in circles, while we scream in fear about the end of the world. That of course is the proper panic maneuver. Of course while that one thing is the correct thing to do, there is of course alternatives, but I hesitate to even say them. One alternative is of course the non-screamer panic method of curling up into the fetal position, and muttering in a language only you can understand. Some people though prefer the proactive panic method, and for your knowledge that is the method that involves making sacrifices in an effort to appease the powers that be. In this particular case, the sacrifice will of course have to be the sacrifice of a sentient being that is dear to you, such as a son or daughter. There is of course the play it cool panic method of putting on a pair of shades, and just putting on an air about yourself that says "I'm to cool to panic" but this can only be pulled off by the ultra-cool, and in this particular case you'll likely have to also have to do something extra like do a rap about how you are so not the type to panic.

Lastly there is of course the bumping panic method, that I am doing right now. I've claimed this method in this panic instance, so you can't panic in this way. But for future instances, it involves bumping the thread in the hopes of getting an update. After I finish this method, I'll then fall back on the primary method of running around in circles screaming about the end of the world.

If I have forgotten a standard panic method, then I apologize as clearly I'm in such a state as to not be able to recall them all.

Frelock: "So, you natives worship the volcano? We have brought you a sacrifice, the mayor of Westport!"

Stop pointing out our inept failures. Your making us look more OCD than we already are. Which considering I'm about to hurl a big ball of superhot water at a bunch of guards because I blew up a kitty I summoned and can easily make more of was captured by a seagull, is a lot.

That reminds me:
If you use two spells in conjunction, you make two rolls for your action and use the lower of the two.

The flying steam-ball simultaneously melts the exposed skin of the guards and boils them inside their own armor! Their mutilated corpses crumple to the cobblestone street in a hideous heap of bubbling flesh and searing hot steel. Several townspeople witness this and begin to scream and run!

Twenty hours?! Are you driving halfway across the country or what?

Meh. I've done that just getting to the other end of the state back home. What I want to know is what kind of vehicle can drive that long without refueling?

Actually, was curious about something in the game too, but I think I figured it out just as I finished writing the question. (I was confused how HEN could get a 1 on a healing roll, given his medkit and EMT training. But then I remembered the -2 for major medical operations.)

Meta: put john in the GM, and ride away from that enemy, than clean the blood from john.

(...) You grab John and ride to the other end of the room, then lay him next to the wall. (...) You manage to wipe up the blood on his face and put some... unicorn band-aids on the wounds. What are these doing in a first-aid kit on a military class space ship? You do this so quickly that you have time to fix John's nose too. (...) You manage to straighten John's nose (as he curses at you, apparently in great pain), but can't find a proper FUTURE CAST for it before John slaps you in the face and runs away.

RW: Channel my NERD RAAAAEEEEEG through the metal bar and attack mechanical serpent. FLAMING SWORD OF SRS BUZNESS! MC(Mecha spider): Use wireless systems to flood snakes senses with blinding white noise.

(...) MC is unable to access Xenocalamus's wireless sensors.
(...)
Derek: "This rod of mine glows with an awesome power! Its burning grip tells me to defeat you! Take this! My love, my anger, and all of my sorrow! NERD RAEG!!!"
With all your might, you swing the shimmering metal bar at Xenocalamus's head! (...) It effortlessly dodges the bar itself, but the wave of energy produced strikes it in the body and sends it flying into the wall! Hundreds of tiny metal appendages reach out of its underside and latch onto the wall, and it begins slithering overhead!

Quote from: monk12 on February 19, 2011, 03:21:54 pm

Meta: SHOOT IT IN THE HEAD! GRAB THE PLASMA RIFLE!

(...) Leaping through the air, you pull out your plasma rifle and shoot a bolt of plasma directly toward Xenocalamus's head! (...) It doesn't even see it coming, and the bolt strikes it right between the eyes! Half of its face is blasted off, revealing its mechanical innards!

Quote from: Frelock on February 21, 2011, 01:47:19 am

Meta: Strike the head to kill the snake!

Xenocalamus leaps off the wall at John! (...) He jumps out of the way, but Xenocalamus's tail shoots out and grabs his ankle! He falls on his face as Xenocalamus descends on him! Suddenly, Xenocalamus's bionic eye begins to shine red!

This is also the least dangerous floor. Later on things will get a lot deadlier. That and the first dozen or so turns were just introductory for the most part. Then again, a giant snake is about to eat Divide...

Quote from: Frelock on February 28, 2011, 09:20:35 pm

Fantasy: Once I get to the forest retreat, haggle for our friend's release.

(...) Elica leads you through a winding path deep in the jungle. Along the way, you tear off a few pieces of your robe and hang them on tree branches to mark the way back. Eventually, the path widens and you arrive in a large clearing. Five monstrous redwood trees, rising above even the tallest canopy, tower above you. There are dozens of rope bridges and winding pathways forming bridges between the trees, and lanterns are being lit overhead to prepare for the coming sunset.
Elica: "This is it. The retreat."
You and Elica approach the entrance to the closest tree, only to be blocked by four wooden spear-wielding guards.
Guard 1: "What is your business here, human?"
Frelock: "I have come here to negotiate a hostage's release."
Guard 2: "Hostage? We don't-"
You stare into the guards' eyes.
Guards: "Right this way."
The guards lead you inside the massive, hollowed-out tree trunk, but you are immediately stopped by a tougher-looking group of Elven warriors.
Tough-Lookin' Elf: "What do you think you're doing? Where did this human come from?!"
Guard 3: "We are taking him to the queen. He requests the release of the sacrifices."
Tough-Lookin' Elf: "We don't negotiate with the human scum from the coast! What has gotten into you, Lifi?"
Lifi: "Get out of the way or we will have to use force!"
Tough-Lookin' Elf: "What are you talking about?!"
The first guard (whose name is apparently Lifi) thrusts his spear into the tough-lookin' Elf's arm, and a brawl between the guards and warriors begins!

Hm. I'm fighting elves. Elves are the mortal enemies of dwarves. Therefore, I must do what a dwarf would do in this situation.

Well I'm glad someone remembers George. I was waiting for the perfect awkward moment to ask where he was. Would have served you right for neglecting him. :D

I voted! And tried to supply a quick synopsis since certain people who already voted failed to actually describe the thread at all. People should vote and write a better synopsis, quick! If the summary that ends up on the front page sucks, it's your fault.

In abortive tries 2-4, I described your fantasy character as "alternating between committing and summoning atrocities, not always on purpose." I liked the line, but it wasn't quite right and I was trying so hard to keep the length down. So much good material had to be cut. :(

Well thank you! ...actually, reading it again, I'm kind of surprised. It's better than I thought it was. I guess staying up until ridiculous hours of the morning actually paid off for once. (Except for that one all those embarrassing typos... fixed! really fixed now.)

FW: Ask around as to what the hell is going on because I got lost on the plot a few pages ago.

I doubt the bloodthirsty cannibalistic Elf natives will oblige. Unless that command is passing through two layers of fourth wall, of course.

Edgar, the mayor and that tiger were all drugged and taken back to the Elven forest retreat. Frelock befriended enslaved an Elf and made him show the way to the forest retreat, then caused a riot between some Elven warriors and the gate guards and ascended to Edgar's cell. He then smooth-talked some information out of the Elf guard while Edgar jumped out of the window. Derm tamed a giant rat, piled HEN and Urist on top of it, and rode in a pack to the forest retreat. The three have just arrived there to find the commotion at the gate, and now the entire retreat has been alerted to your presence. You must find the mayor (who has been revealed to be in the central tree) and rescue him before the Elves attempt to sacrifice him, unaware that he is immortal and will soon return to full strength if you don't throw him into the volcano.

It's all so simple you wonder why you even bothered to ask. (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4&p=001330)

(...) Charging forth on your feline steed, you plow through a group of Elven guards who were running toward you. Arrows rain down from the rope bridges above! (...) Your cat stallion weaves and dodges the flying projectiles! (...) The giant rat becomes enraged and leaps through the air toward the archers above, shattering the rope bridge and slamming into the central tree several z-levels above the ground! Urist and HEN are holding on for their lives. (...) It is then that you have the brilliant idea of using your flame-based magic around the cluster of highly flammable trees. One of the massive redwoods near the back of the retreat bursts into flames, and they quickly begin spreading toward the other trees!

(...) The massive rat flies through the air and slams into the tree, digging its claws into the thick redwood bark. You hold on for dear life. A little too hard it seems, as the rat takes your applied pressure as a command to giddy-up! It climbs onto a branch just overhead and rams through a huge double door into a foyer midway up the central tree! Elves panic and scatter in every direction!

Looking over the side of the bridge, you can see a huge tree, even bigger than the others. At the end of the rope bridge to the left is an entrance to the tree you just fell out of. To the right is an entrance to another tree which seems to be on fire.

Fantasy: Go get the mayor, staring down any elves that try to stop me

(...) You throw the Elf out the window, then run out of the interrogation cell with Elica only to come face-to-face with a group of guards! Like an idiot, you decide the best tactic is to stare them down until they back off.

...It works. The whole patrol of Elven guards soils themselves in terror and leaps over the side of the branch, presumably to their deaths. Oh my god this is the best thing EVER. YOU CAN GEASS PEOPLE. Looming above you is the central tree. At the top you can see a mass of upturned branches, knotted around each other and forming some kind of huge, bowl-shaped room at the top of the tree.
Elica: "That is the coliseum. It is where the sacrifice will take place. The prisoners' chambers are several z-levels below it."
You run across a rope bridge, bust into a stairwell inside the central tree, and begin climbing.

Eventually, you come to a row of cells. It looks like all the guards are gone. You quickly find out that all the cells are empty.
Frelock: "Elica, is this the prison Atho was talking about?"
Elica: "Yes, he should be here. Unless... they have already started the sacrifice ceremony."
Frelock: "Dammit, we need to hurry!"

DAMMIT DERM

You were that kid who got kicked out of Wizard School for blowing up the gymnasium, weren't you Derm? I'll bet you probably set the swimming pool on fire, too. (But only to cover up the evidence when your extra-curricular summoning experiments got out of hand.)

You have to use a turn for the singalong, so the best roll you can get while using it is a 9. And I probably won't even roll for the enemy's dodge when you use it, so those passive abilities are irrelevant too.

With all your might, you swing the shimmering metal bar at Xenocalamus's head! (...) It effortlessly dodges the bar itself, but the wave of energy produced strikes it in the body and sends it flying into the wall! Hundreds of tiny metal appendages reach out of its underside and latch onto the wall, and it begins slithering overhead!

Looks like a +2 to me. Still, I might want to bump the bonus for the singalong up to +4 to make it worthwhile. Keep in mind, also, that being too powerful is far worse than being too weak.

Meta: Explore the third deck

(...) You walk out into the hallway and enter the first door on the right, which appears to be open. Looks like crew quarters, though very spacious. There's a desk with drawers and a computer, bunk bed, closet, and various bits of debris scattered about the room. It's messy, but not torn apart like the hallway.

You load some ammo in to your musket and prepare to fire. Suddenly, the giant rat begins to shimmer!
AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRhPM2wMzH8)
You appear in the center of a coliseum, but the rat is nowhere to be found.

Fantasy: Continue martial trance.

(...) Acting voluntarily this time, you run up the stairs and burst through a wooden palisade into a large arena. Just then, a massive figure explodes through the gate on the opposite side of the arena! It's a unicorn! Unfortunately, your martial trance wears off at that very moment.

Quote from: dermonster on March 07, 2011, 11:29:03 pm

FW: Reverse summon myself (And companions) to the top of the tree.

(...) You're not even sure that's how summoning works, but your track record is so good you figure flinging yourself, a giant rat, and a giant cat through hyperspace by abusing the mechanics of summoning magic is a fantastic idea. Let's do it -
SWEET SANKIS THIS IS THE WORST THING EVER OH ARMOK OH WHY GOOD LORD WHYYYYYYYYYY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Imbxqv_5TJU#t=1m30s)
You and the cat appear several z-levels above the coliseum pit, and fall to the ground below. The cat lands flat on its paws, while you land hard on the coliseum floor and break a rib. George is nowhere to be seen.

Quote from: monk12 on March 08, 2011, 12:11:37 am

Fantasy: Dun dadun daaaaa! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXDY0jvaCPw) Use my grappling hook to swing gracefully into the coliseum, grab the sack, and land safely on the opposite side.

(...) Apparently having a much better grasp of political science than the laws of physics, you shoot your harpoon at the empty space above the coliseum and leap into the crowd! You then proceed to crowd-surf down to the pit and land face-first on the dirt ground. Suddenly, a giant cat appears overhead and you roll out of the way just in time to dodge it!

Quote from: Frelock on March 08, 2011, 12:29:05 am

Fantasy:  Tell Elica to get out of here at meet us as the base of the tree. Push open the palisade doors and use my spring boots to help Monk, should he not succeed.

(...)
Frelock: "Elica, wait for us at ground level."
Elica nods and runs down the hallway to the right. Suddenly, Urist comes running up the stairs and busts through the palisade doors! You follow him through the doorway and, anticipating a flying Edgar at any second, leap through the air with your spring shoes! You soar across the coliseum and land on the back of a unicorn as it gallops through a large gate at the other end!

Meanwhile, in hyperspace...
Giant Rat: "Skreeeeeeeeeee!"

The unicorn begins to thrash around and shimmer! It undergoes a frightening transformation as the giant rat exits hyperspace inside of it! It has transformed into the fearsome unirat! The unirat rampages around the coliseum as the spectators scatter in a frenzy! It steps on the palisade gate, causing your escape route to collapse! You're screwed now!

The partitions between the next three rooms have been demolished, so you walk to the end and exit through the furthest door. You're now on the other side of the pile of rubble. There are three hallways, so you take the one on the right and find another hallway lined with doors. One of the doors near the end of the hallway opens and a patrol of attack-bots steps out!

Unirat bobs its head out of the way and the spear impales the anaconda (who had been leaping through the air to bite the Unirat)!

JC reaches the ground to find a massive snake corpse which provided cushioning for two men and a rat (http://Sitcom idea.). Everyone except the snake is okay!

(...)
Frelock: "Weeeeeeeee!"
You swing all the way through the jungle and arrive at the foot of the volcano! You can feel the heat of the spreading forest fire behind you.

Fantasy: Get out of the snake's mouth and ride it.

(...) You swing up onto the snake and start riding it!
Urist: "YEEEEHAAAAWWW" *CRUNCH*
The snake breaks the fall, fatally.

Flee The Tree Debris!

• dermonster: (...) You collapse to the ground in pain as your rib gives way under a large tree branch which pins you to the snake corpse!
• Frelock: (...) You're not out of the woods yet! Oh wait, yes you are. *Ba-Dum Tsh* (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RimShot)
• monk12: (...) A flaming fan leaf gently drapes over you. It's nice and warm for a few seconds, then comes the BURNING PAIN.
• HighEndNoob: (...) The cat leaps out of the way as a flaming tree branch pins the others to the ground!
• _DivideByZero_: (...) You're knocked to the ground as well by the branch. You can't move!

RW: I dunno, ride around and look for something interesting, the geography is lost on me.

(...) You suddenly gain universal knowledge of everything on this deck! You can sense every item in every drawer of every desk and every closet in every room in every hall! At the rear of the deck, you sense a large blue blast door. So you ride over there on Marshall and take a look. On the other side of the door, you can sense a large room full of communications equipment, a row of windows, and the pedestal for this deck.

RW: Examine communications equipment.

(...) You enter the communication center and look around. It's a large two-tiered room, with stairs on either side of a balcony. There's radar equipment and communication screens all over the place. The pedestal sits at the back of the room, looking out-of-place. Most of it still seems usable, but none of it has been used in quite a while. You can hear a vague... techno beat coming from inside the walls of the room.

RW: Activate communication equipment, search all channels for incoming or outgoing signals. Also send out a general high class S.O.S message.

(...) You brush dust off the console and activate the communications equipment.

Code: [Select]

Searching incoming signals...

No signal found.

Searching outgoing signals...
(30MHz-300MHz)

Signal found!There's a signal coming from this ship, being sent somewhere far away. It's not even in this star system. You decide to send a high-class S.O.S. anyway. Why isn't that GM guy stopping you?

Meta: Examine equipment in communications room, and see if I can make traps out of it.

(...) In the span of just a few minutes, you rig up a complicated pulley system and hang a piece of equipment that looks similar to a huge CB radio from the ceiling. You draw an 'X' on the floor where it will hit when dropped.

(...) You closely examine the contents of the signal. Looks like it's being sent from your cranial implant to the bridge, and then broadcast from this room. Also, it seems to be a two-way connection, retrieving information from somewhere far away and transmitting it back to the bridge.
You follow the beat to a metal hatch on the wall. Even with your ear pressed to the wall, you can't hear any more than the beat.

(http://i.imgur.com/RYcww.gif) You break open the flux-capacitor and steal some radioactive materials, rubbing them all over your face. Nothing appears to happen right away, but you have a feeling the reaction is delayed. Frederick drags you and Kyle down the hall into another room you don't recognize, and you drop the radioactive crap on the way.

All the lights on the pedestal light up and a hatch opens, revealing A SHINY RED BUTTON.

*Ahem*

HEN will be NPC'd in a few hours. For now, enjoy a summary.

Five heroes, all of disparate backgrounds, met around a table in the Westport tavern: Derm Hell-binder (http://i.imgur.com/RhAss.png) the elementalist summoner, Frelock Von-Heisenberg (http://i.imgur.com/T6tla.png) the thief luck-o-mancer, Edgar (http://i.imgur.com/ZxWMi.png) the sky pirate, HighEndNoob (http://i.imgur.com/DqobQ.png) the ninja sniper, and Artymir (http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj100/Kuchinawa212/Science.jpg) the mad scientist. Westport was a small port village, situated along the southern tip of Hellfire Cove (http://i.imgur.com/ava9z.jpg). After angering a warrior at the bar and obtaining a map (http://i.imgur.com/emzIY.jpg) of the village from the barkeep, the heroes set out on their mission to kidnap the mayor of the small community. Unfortunately, the manor where the mayor lived was swarming with guards.

Learning of the thieves' guild underneath the local weapons shop, the party contacted them in hopes of joining forces to kidnap the mayor. The thieves agreed, and coincidentally were planning on a raid of the mayor's manor that very night. Preparations were made and the heroes received a map of the manor (http://i.imgur.com/CycWi.jpg). Meanwhile, Derm was captured by guards for his misconduct inside the weapons shop. That night, the raid on the mayor's manor began. Their cover was immediately blown when the glass doors on the second floor balcony were shattered, and they had to fight their way out of the town. Derm summoned a pack of rats to help him escape from the prison along with the warrior from the tavern, and they rejoined the others just as they were escaping the town by boat.

Boarding the ship (http://i.imgur.com/TmNb7.jpg) that Frelock had purchased earlier that day and named The Borealis, they departed for the sea. During their voyage, they found out that the warrior who they had seen in the tavern and who had escaped from the prison with Derm was after the mayor as well. He was, as she explained, a demon named Ogomspoxom. Ogomspoxom could only truly be defeated if he was cast into the fires of Mt. Helmath before his powers fully returned. As soon as she finished explaining this, Artymir went batshit insane and tried to kill the others. After subduing him, they dumped his body overboard and went along their way. About this time, Derm got bored and turned his last surviving summoned rat into a genetic abomination using additional summoning magic. Then he named him Georg (http://i.imgur.com/ir8ir.jpg)e (http://www.amazon.com/Mice-Men-Steinbeck-Centennial/dp/0142000671/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1302103433&sr=1-1). The party then came across a lone Dwarf, drifting the sea on a wooden raft. He introduced himself as Urist Anvilsmasher (http://i.imgur.com/9gH0e.png), the soapmaker.

Shortly thereafter, the heroes noticed a large navy frigate closing in on them from behind. They were fugitives from the law, and the navy was looking to bring them in. They attempted to escape, but Derm's overzealous use of water magic sank The Borealis (http://i.imgur.com/T5LBI.jpg) and they had no choice but to surrender to the navy ship. Luckily, Frelock was able to hypnotize the entire crew into thinking they were fish and hijack the ship. Unfortunately, Derm hadn't learned his lesson and caused the formation of a maelstrom that almost sank the navy frigate. The crew, as well as the party's warrior companion, were sucked beneath the waves. At last, the heroes reached the island of Helmath (http://i.imgur.com/UIPu1.jpg) on their stolen ship.

After a short trek through the town, during which a kitten exploded, a human was fused to a dwarf and a swordfish, and a patrol of guards were cooked inside their own armor, the heroes began their trek through the Jungle of Piercing. Mt. Helmath was at the center of the island, past the thick vegetation. Edgar was captured almost immediately by the island's tribe of feral Elves, along with the sack o' demon he was carrying. Derm summoned a giant riding rat, and Frelock enslaved befriended an Elf to show him the way to the retreat. He named him Elica for no particular reason (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=24188.0). The party trekked through the jungle and, around nightfall, arrived at the Elven forest retreat (http://i.imgur.com/pumJE.jpg). After storming the retreat head-on and rescuing Edgar from an interrogation room (http://i.imgur.com/Tnexa.png), the party began ascending the central tree toward the coliseum where the demon was being held. Somewhere along the way, Derm decided it would be a good idea (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TooDumbToLive) to use fire magic inside the Elven forest retreat made entirely from wood (http://i.imgur.com/x9RTN.jpg).

As the retreat burned around them, the heroes finally reached the coliseum at the top of the central tree. The sacrificial ceremony was just beginning, and a wild unicorn was released into the arena to kill the demon. Unbeknownst to the Elves, they would be releasing the demon upon the world once more in doing so. In an attempt to teleport to the top of the tree, Derm accidentally glinched the giant rat with the unicorn, producing the Unirat! The fight was on (http://i.imgur.com/3v1Dv.gif)! After causing plenty of chaos in the coliseum and vanquishing the Unirat (http://i.imgur.com/cIGWF.gif), the heroes descended to the burning jungle once more on the back of a giant snake that Derm had summoned during the fight. Edgar, Elica and Frelock took the sack o' demon to the summit. On the way, Edgar noticed that they were being observed by a mysterious (http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2010/02/your-favourite-game-was-rubbish/g.jpg) man in (http://maxcdn.fooyoh.com/files/attach/images/591/528/247/004/agent-smith.jpg) a suit (http://imgsrv.98pxy.com/image/wpxy2/UserFiles/Image/trololo.jpg). They tossed the sack (which they oddly neglected to make sure still had a demon in it) into the volcano, and the island immediately began to quake violently.

Meanwhile, Derm, HEN and Urist were escaping from the burning forest retreat. The fire had extended to the jungle, and was spreading rapidly. After Derm accidentally encased Urist in a block of granite, they began racing through the jungle on Derm's recently summoned giant riding cat. The giant snake carried the granite block containing Urist and followed behind. Edgar, Frelock and Elica were still at the base of the volcano, but were flung violently through the air after Edgar and Frelock used their grappling hook arm and spring shoes (respectively) in tandem. The three of them flew halfway across the island, and landed in the ocean nearby the docks. By this time, Derm, HEN and Urist had reached the town and were heading toward the docks. Urist tried to free himself from the granite block by cutting it with his beard, but accidentally cut off his one remaining arm (the first was lost during the fusion incident and replaced temporarily with a swordfish) in the process. In his desperation, he learned to use his beard as a working limb and achieved TRUE DORFDOM.

The volcano erupted at that moment, showering the jungle with ash. The giant cat wandered off, Urist healed his own arm with his muscle-beard, and Edgar, Frelock and Elica began swimming toward shore. What adventures await these heroes when at last they escape the island of Helmath? Perhaps even the author does not know...

FW: Use summoning magic and my tooth as a reagent to summon a new skeletal system for my body.

George: Crawl out of my blobby mess and stand guard or something.

(...) You concentrate as hard as you can on the life plane, attempting to summon a human-shaped skeleton. All of a sudden, you feel a different kind of energy. This isn't summoning magic, it's... different.

Fantasy: Convince derm's body that it can, and should, grow new bones.

(...) Tapping into the same mysterious force currently causing Derm's body to inflate with blood, you command him to grow bones! Nothing happens for a few moments. Then, Derm's body begins to fidget and the blood undergoes a transformation! It condenses and hardens to the approximate density of bones, then forms a new skeleton! Derm sits up and looks down at his skin, tinted blood red by the otherworldly glow of the red bones.

Attach chain to warhammer to turn it into some kind of variation of a meteor hammer.
Then attach axe to other end.

Good god you people are unobservant! Or possibly have a strange set of priorities.

Please, do elaborate.

After intensive study, it appears that I mistook John Freeman's new beard for an alien invader. (An easy mistake to make, I'm sure you'll agree.)

My statement about priorities still stands though. :D

I will say I came VERY CLOSE to (attempting to) destroy the tentacle beard out of sheer terror and revulsion for its... unnaturalness?

Then I remembered I was going to do that with my psychic powers while a ghost pirate watches on, and did something else.

The teleporter activates, and you all end up back in the teleporter room on the main floor! The screen on the pedestal in the center of the room is lit up once again.

The pink pad goes back to where you just were. They're just there to avoid backtracking. The elevator is your ticket to the next part of the ship. If you want to know where the next keycard is, I'd look at the flashy pedestal.

Meta: Crawl to the new pink zone and see If I can find new legs

(...) You crawl into the medbay, then into the newly opened cryogenics and prosthetics laboratory. The walls are lined with bubbling tanks of cyan liquid, and the room glows with a soft green light periodically. Tracing the light's source, you see another, larger medi-bot laying against the back wall. You crawl on over and activate it.
Medi-bot: "How may I help you?"
(http://i.imgur.com/rK4Zk.png) "I, uh... need new legs."
Medi-bot: "Proper access codes detected. Searching prosthetics database... all prosthetic limb replacements on this vessel have expired. Sorry for the inconvenience."
(http://i.imgur.com/rK4Zk.png) "Hmmm... what about this?"
*You hold up the cheetah corpse you had been dragging*
Medi-bot: "This limb is suitable for bionic limb replacement."
After a surprisingly short procedure, during which the medi-bot attaches the cheetah legs to your nervous system, you get up and check out your new legs!

(...) You walk into the laboratory to find Kyle laying on a table. A medi-bot is standing over him and using some sorta sautering iron thingy on his legs. A second medi-bot rolls over to you, facepalms, and sits you down at another table. It then proceeds to graft the mechanical arm to your arm stub.
New Bionic Enhancement Acquired: Bionic Arm

How did I forget to add the helmet?

The red bones don't really have an effect on anything, but I can add it if you like. I didn't give you experience last turn on purpose, it was a total accident that you used your powers in the first place. But you should have gotten one point this turn.

Spmoxu and George hop on the back, the Chattering Fangs hang onto your cloak, and you ride off toward the Goblin tower! As you get closer, you notice bones littering the camp around the tower. Smoke is rising from a nearby pile of rubble. As you approach the gates, some Goblins in the wooden guard towers above start yelling at you in a language you don't understand. Seconds later, several heavily-armed Goblins step out of the guard towers and approach you. Spmoxu has a short conversation with them in Goblinish, after which they stare at you for a moment and open the gates.

Telekinetic energy lifts the three of you into the air and flings you forward at startling velocity as flames shoot out from Derm's fist and incinerate the swarm of mecha-spiders! Flaming bits of mecha-spider are reduced to metal shavings by the rotating mop blade! Your combined force continues to propel you down the hall and past the janitor's closet! At last, a humongous laser pierces the rotating cone of fire and obliterates everything in front of you!!

When you come to, you discover an enormous circular hole in the wall in front of you. And the wall after that. And another. And the next 15 after that. The entire hallway behind you is blackened and slowly cooling from the wall of flames, and the area ahead (which looks like another crew quarters) has been run through by the massive laser.

MC: Go forward into the now opened drill-tunnel. Extract/fabricate new Map from helmet.

(...) Hurdling over the cooling metal, you explore the area ahead. Looks like the living area for maintenance crew members and engineers in the lower floors. Further down the hall, you can see a large door leading to what you can only assume is the engineering lab. Whatever that is. You're too lazy to go over there, so you scan the living area and fabricate a map.

Quote from: monk12 on April 20, 2011, 10:01:34 pm

Meta: Explore!

(...) Traversing the tunnel of melted metal piercing one half of the living complex, you proceed through the blue-level security door at the end and enter the engineering lab. It's in surprisingly good condition, considering the state of disrepair most of the ship is in.

(http://i.imgur.com/fYeRr.png) "You've made it much farther than most. Your group is the last left on this derelict vessel, the last to die. But if you do manage to survive the hell that awaits you, I suggest you give in to the hive mind when the time comes. Lest you be culled like the rest.
(http://i.imgur.com/XLBJR.jpg) "Who are you? Why are you talking to me?"
(http://i.imgur.com/fYeRr.png) "Just an observer. Your friend, the one I spoke to on the main deck, he's received his first enhancement. As have a few others in your group. I'd suggest you do the same. It makes the amalgamation so much smoother."

He disappears into the shadows.

Quote from: Frelock on April 21, 2011, 01:57:43 am

Meta: Fix the hanger.  Tweak the odds as well.

(...) Your eyes sting as the water on the surface of your retinas boils then freezes. You jam your eyes shut and swim blindly through the empty vacuum. Briefly opening your eyes, you spot a red switch on the left wall, labeled "Emergency Force Shield Reactivation". You thrash over to the switch and mash it with your bionic arm, nearly smashing the control panel it's mounted on. Immediately, the force field reactivates. Oxygen starts pumping into the room and the artificial gravity is restored. Getting back on your feet, you discover that you jammed your laser dagger straight through the control panel and into the wall.

Quote from: HighEndNoob on April 21, 2011, 05:17:19 pm

Meta: Check the spider wreckage.

(...) It's more like a soot-covered pile of metal shavings that is unrecognizable as a former horde mecha-spiders. You retrieve a small sack from the janitor's closet and scoop a few handfuls in there. You know, just in case it comes in really handy later, like a heavily-foreshadowed plot convenience. You think they call those Chekhov's Herrings, or something like that.

Quote from: _DivideByZero_ on April 21, 2011, 05:18:43 pm

RW: Get back inside the ship (somehow, maybe use my beard?) and close the hangar.

(...) You twist around in mid-vacuum, accomplishing nothing. Suddenly, you crash to the ground as the artificial gravity returns!

(http://i.imgur.com/Hpjy3.jpg) "I told them to allow the great Ogomspoxom back into his domain! I think they bought it."
(http://i.imgur.com/SoX5P.jpg) "Wait... you know I'm not Ogomspoxom?"
(http://i.imgur.com/Hpjy3.jpg) "Ogomspoxom speaks Goblin and does not show his red skin through human hosts. It's not too hard to figure out."
(http://i.imgur.com/SoX5P.jpg) "You're not trying to lead us into a trap, are you...?"
(http://i.imgur.com/Hpjy3.jpg) "No, I wasn't lying when I said we needed your help. I was sent out to retrieve our wayward Lord Ogomspoxom, but he was kidnapped and slain by you five before I could reach him. Left with little choice, I figured the adventurers who murdered our great lord were the best chance we had now that our law-giver was dead. So I enlisted your help by talking in a stereotypically-stupid Goblinish fashion and telling you of our problems. I am surely leading you to your death if you five do not have the strength to defeat the evil that menaces us, but you have already been drawn into the conflict by coming to this place.
(http://i.imgur.com/SoX5P.jpg) "Well, shit."

You approach the arched entranceway of the Goblin tower. Spmoxu once again speaks to the guards in Goblin gibberish, and they step aside to allow you passage. As you enter the tower, you hear yelling in the distance and the guards at the door sprint away.

(http://i.imgur.com/Hpjy3.jpg) "Your friends are idiots."

Quote from: monk12 on April 20, 2011, 10:01:34 pm

Fantasy: Grappling hook to the top of the fortress

(...) Aiming your grappling hook (which is still jammed through the Goblin guard's torso) at the looming Goblin tower, you fling yourself through the air with incredible force! You fight to stay conscious while holding the Goblin guard's flailing body in front of you as a wind shield. Finally, you make contact with the roof of the Goblin fortress, crushing every bone in the guard's body. The force of the impact shatters the roof and sends you plummeting into the throne room below!

(http://i.imgur.com/gJonj.png) "What's this? A human? Seize him!"

Two Goblin Axelords start rushing toward you!

Quote from: Frelock on April 21, 2011, 01:57:43 am

Fantasy: Figure out how to reassemble legs that are shattered.

(...) You concentrate on your leg-shattering abilities, trying to find a way to reverse the effect. You can't seem to find a reliable way to do this, but you have a feeling that if you were to fail, say, critically while attempting the legsplosion, it would have this effect. Same with the Greater variety.

Quote from: HighEndNoob on April 21, 2011, 05:17:19 pm

Fantasy:Learn a new skill

(...) You fail to learn a new ability. You do, however, discover a grapeshot function on your musket, allowing you to fire it like some sort of medieval shotgun. You're not sure how that works.

Quote from: _DivideByZero_ on April 21, 2011, 05:18:43 pm

FW: Charge at the nearest goblin.

(...) You charge screaming at the group of Goblin guards nearby Edgar, and give the nearest one a big hug! He rests his head on your shoulder and pats your back. No, wait. He's biting your neck and eviscerating your back with his claws. That's not good!

RW: Enter the lower left large room and start looting.

FW: "Well, yes. But they survived this long, I have no doubt that they will be either highly deadly, or as threatening as a trodden upon marshmallow. I hope you have an explanation for this king once he figures out what you just said wasn't hard to figure out. This language thing could be a dead give away. I could maybe summon an abomination and/or natural disaster if that helps at all. See George here. Shortly after I made him I summoned a hurricane by accident. Then boiled a group of guards alive in their suits.  And then summoned a giant ball of flesh when attempting to summon a tiger. That one exploded. Fun times. Then I set a forest on fire while I was at the top of a giant elven arena tree with an angry Unirat I had just made. Less fun. Still enjoyed it." Continue walking.

RW: Enter the lower left large room and start looting.

(...) You head on into the nearest large room. Looks like some sort of break room; there's a few couches, a microwave, and a row of cabinets. You throw open the nearest cabinet and start rifling through the contents! You find a few pencils, a pair of leather gloves, a coffee mug, and... a guitar! Sweet! You strap it to your back, put on the gloves, and stow away the other items in your vaguely defined inventory container. Suddenly, you feel something cold and wet on your back. It wraps around your torso and starts pulling you up toward the ceiling!

Technically Derm is now leader of the Goblins. In the process of pretending to be Ogomspoxom, he obtained red skin and became the leader of a Goblin fortress. Maybe he was the demon all along... :o

The pain subsides as you don the gas mask. Curiously, it seems to block out the massive amounts of telepathic interference. You should probably learn to control it a little better.

You may be closer to learning straight-up healing magic than you think. The pyrotechnics were a proper spell usage, but your bonus made you land on a 7. You only get a skill-up on a 5 or 6. The healing/summoning spell landed on a 5, but it wasn't a pure summoning spell, so you didn't get any summoning experience.

Keep trying at the healing spells, and you'll eventually be able to get experience for those. Right now, you can only use healing indirectly through summoning magic. But you're getting close.

Healing magic is a bit out of character though if you ask me...

I usually try to go into a game with half a dozen backup NPCs ready to be dropped in at any time, though with a group like this one... Hmm. I think I'd aim for a buffer of, oh, at least twenty.

This seems like an appropriate time to link to Darths and Droids (http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0549.html). DMM always has good advice for an aspiring GM.

I usually try to go into a game with half a dozen backup NPCs ready to be dropped in at any time, though with a group like this one... Hmm. I think I'd aim for a buffer of, oh, at least twenty.

This seems like an appropriate time to link to Darths and Droids (http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0549.html). DMM always has good advice for an aspiring GM.

Nah, backup is on its way. I wasn't expecting the chieftain to die that fast, though. I need to make a Derm Atrocity Counter^TM.

Yeah, right now I would think Derm should have a skill that gives him a +1 whenever committing an atrocity...

But... honestly, the Random Number God seems to favor him anyway...and the last thing we need is Derm being capable of rolling 10s.

Frelock kicks the ELF in the face, causing his skull to implode and sending a torrent of brain matter spewing from the back of his head! The ELF has been slain.

Fantasy: Use th SUPER ELF_FLYING BODY SLAM!

(...) You are showered with brain matter when you try to get close to the Elf. You're sad now.

The flying object in the distance is getting closer! It looks like a... flying ship?

(...) The only portable dimension you have access to is a portal to the life plane, so you toss a ton of gold and jewels in there. Then, you see it. At the back of the room you see a pedestal, flanked by blood-red curtains. Atop the pedestal... a book (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tg--zstO4s). A feeling of dread envelops you as you lift the book from its resting place. As you do so, a tattered paper slips from between the pages and floats gently to the floor. You pick it up from the cold stone floor and look at it. It's blank... but it feels important. An energy you can't quite understand surrounds it. You decide to take it with you.

But that still leaves the book. You feel a chill run down your spine as an unnameable evil whispers to your mind. The book calls to you. But you shouldn't take it...

(...) You run out of the lounge and around the corner, just as several large human-arachnid-hybrid androids burst out of the hole in the wall nearby the elevator! You try to get Kyle to stand up, but he looks unresponsive. So you shoot him in the head with your arm cannon. Suddenly, he leaps to his feet!

You fire the other four baseballs at the androids as they charge at you! (...) (...) (...) (...) The baseballs obliterate all four of them, along with their webbing.

Meta: wow I'm really not sure how to resolve this, um... Shield myself from debris with telekinesis, and slide down the wall (floor?) to slow my descent

(...) You flatten yourself against the wall and create a shallow dome of telekinetic interference, waiting for the glass shards to fly past you. The psychic dome is just enough to absorb the impact as you slam into the wall by the door frame, though you do get a nosebleed in the process. Suddenly, the gravity in the chamber switches, throwing you onto the left wall of the hallway!

I've also spent the last week doing an archive binge on Schlock Mercenary (thank you for that, Frelock,) and I am now uncomfortably aware of what kinds of unpleasantness can arise from having a hostile entity in control of your local gravity.

Meta: Cautiously return to the lab area

Fantasy: "Bloodbeard!?! How did you get here? We need to get out of here before some horrible atrocity happens!"


I suddenly have a horrible suspicion that I know where the plot is going. I'm also REALLY hoping to avoid cybernetic body parts now.

Oh, and my pleasure, Monk.  Scholck took me about three weeks to complete an archive binge; it's rather extensive.  Still, that's what you get with 11 years of daily updates.

Not that I really mind that much.

What would it even do anyway? NOT make a shambling army of the undead? What did you expect I was going to do with it? Granted, they're possibly not on OUR side, but still.

Well, I did spend most of your turn describing the pure evil emanating from the book, the unearthly screams of a long-forgotten, nigh-incomprehensible abomination from another dimension filling your mind, (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TomeOfEldritchLore) and the fact that it was sitting atop a pedestal at the back of the room surrounded by blood-red curtains and constantly calling to you. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SchmuckBait)

I didn't force you to take the book. I gave you a choice, and you took the chance. Really, the words were just a backup.

Well, yes, I did expect the hordes of undead, its the damn necronomicon, I was asking about the 'secret words' klaatu barada nikto.

Suppose it doesn't matter now anyway.

also GEORGE NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Edit: looked it up on the tomb of eldritch lore. It apparently disables the animate dead failsafe. I did not watch Evil Dead.

And what I was saying is that you had a third option. I even gave you a warning beforehand. If you thought something bad would happen, you had time to, say, not take the book.

But I like where the plot is going now, so NYEEEEHHHH.

Crap. I might have known it would be DF that eventually forced me to register on that site. Maybe if I make a suitable sacrifice to Armok I can avoid the gravitational pull...

Yep- time to see if my guess is right. And swear to god, if he answers with "We're the good guys," (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcDMdPrjEfM) I will crash this ship right into the zombie infested wasteland emerging beneath our feet. (RNG permitting, of course)

Not quite sure how relevant it is, but it appears that Frelock is missing both legs, and also somehow bleeding heavily from one of his legs that is missing, while I haven't read the whole thread, and some magic could result in his legs falling/getting chopped off but still connected to his body by magic and taking blood from the rest of it, I judge that unlikely.

Also, just gotta say that this is a pretty epic RTD, especially the last two turns.  :P

(...) You gently slide down the steep slope of the vertical hallway, mumbling under your breath. Suddenly, the gravity in the chamber disappears entirely! You swim through the low-g corridor and push your way through the doorway into the room beyond. This room is huge! In fact, it looks like all four of the corridors feed into it. The room curves off into the distance, further than you can see. There's a ton of lab equipment floating around in the low-g environment.

The figure shoulders its shining greataxe with one hand, and removes its horned helmet with the other.

Maxim 34: If you're leaving scorch-marks, you need a bigger gun.

Incidentally, I caught up on Schlock Mercenary. Nearly 11 years worth of daily comics (that's 131 months, or 3950+ strips for those keeping score at home.) More fun with math- I first learned of the existence of this strip when Frelock linked to it on April 25th, which means that in the last 17 days I've read 232+ strips every day. That's a minimum, as it took me a couple days to start binging in earnest... I need to go lie down now.

Fun fact: originally, the author had the book's title as Seven Habits of Highly Effective Pirates, but then received a cease and desist order, and thus changed the name to Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries.  However, this fortunately cleared up a little misunderstanding, as before there were maxims, they were rules, which led to the Maxim you quoted being known as Rule 34... Note that our dear author made that one up in 2004, slightly before the origin of the more commonly known rule 34, if know your meme is right.

On topic, I'm not exactly sure how I'm supposed to sacrifice the blood of the guilty.  I wonder if I can do it while the target is still alive...

I'm kind of surprised Tayler actually obeyed the cease and desist. After all, as a recent OOTS strip reminds us, parody is protected speech! And this is one of the clearest cases of parody I can think of.

Huh. I wonder if this episode was an inspiration for the "shoot attorneys on sight" contract, or if it came afterwards?

From what I've read, the author went along with it because he kept coming up with new rules, such that it didn't really fit well under the number 7. Plus, he now has the ability to put out merch with it.

FW: Water blast Goddamn everything, Grab MY GODDAMN NECRONOMICON, AND GET TO THE SHIP.

(...) The horde of undead envelops you as your hand scurries off with the book, so you decide to water blast your way to freedom! (...) A jet of water shoots from your hands, propelling you away from the pile of zombies! You land softly on the ship's deck.

(http://i.imgur.com/J0oLn.png) "Come on, then! Raise the sails! LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!"

(...) You pull out your bar of soap in an attempt to clean your wounds. The soap slips out of your beard's grasp and slips down your throat! You're choking!

Quote from: monk12 on May 11, 2011, 10:59:06 pm

Fantasy: Find the controls of the airship in order to provide close air support to my friends. And by "close air support", I mean splatter zombies like bugs on a windshield

(http://i.imgur.com/T166f.png) "If anyone's plowin' through the sea of vile undead, it's gonna be me!"

He then pulls a ghostly ripcord next to the steering wheel. A loud rumbling can be heard from the lower decks!

Quote from: Frelock on May 11, 2011, 11:04:01 pm

Fantasy: Use awesome lich-regenerative powers.  Take blood from a nearby corpse if I have to.

(...) All the nearby corpses seem to be trying to kill you. You are ambushed by a bunch of sprinting goblin corpses! You activate your Penance Vision^TM, and are pleased to discover that the crowd of zombies is lousy with the wafting aura of wicked deeds! You promptly sink your teeth into the closest one, ripping open its chest and spilling its blood! The blood evaporates and your arms feel as good as new! Suddenly, an epicenter of glowing wickedness flies by and lands on the ship, nearly blinding you!

Quote from: HighEndNoob on May 12, 2011, 05:46:49 pm

Fantasy: Throw a 'splode on impact knife as a parting gift.

(...) You pull a throwing knife out of your pocket.

(http://i.imgur.com/PRODI.png) "Hasta la vista."

You toss the knife directly at agent Passedrims! (...) He easily dodges the throwing knife, which sticks in the ground behind him.

(http://i.imgur.com/J3bcy.png) "You don't have the speed, human. I can-"

BOOM!

An eerie, glowing red hand climbs onto the ghostly Elven agent's shoulder. He raises the Necronomicon in the air and begins speaking in strange tongues. The undead seem to get even more restless!

Fantasy: Perform Heimlich maneuver on Urist if necessary, then explore the ship

(...) You decide to explore the ship. As you walk across the deck, you step on Urist's chest, causing him to spit out the bar of soap. You proceed to the hatch near the back of the ship and descend below deck. You arrive in the hull of the ship and are surrounded by ghostly pirates, performing various labors.

Fantasy:Slice and dice evil zombies, sacrifice blood

(...)

(http://i.imgur.com/3cQen.png) "In the name of Zutshosh Gatolgasol, impure souls of the living dead shall be banished into eternal damnation. Amen."

Before any of the zombies can react, you begin to violently tear through them with your sword! The limbs of the undead fly off in every direction, and blood sprays from their mutilated bodies. You feel a strong tingling sensation around your waist as a new pair of legs sprouts out from your lower body! The horde of zombies lays slumped in a bloody heap, but more zombies are on the way from the fortress interior, riding on a pack of undead beak dogs!

His hand is missing; that tentacle isn't his. The unconsciousness was a mistake, though.

Does this mean... what I think it means? When you say it isn't his... oh Armok... this could get bad. I can't wait!

Okay, you're there. And sliding fast!

Quote from: dermonster on May 27, 2011, 06:40:20 am

RW: HOW COULD YOU!? Disassemble mini-spiders for parts!

(...) You use your helmet to broadcast a signal that attracts all the mecha-spiders toward you, and the swarm washes over you as you slide down the steep slope! You begin ripping the spiders apart, but the horde starts to engulf you!

Quote from: monk12 on May 27, 2011, 11:36:01 am

Meta: Accelerate towards the unexplored area by any means necessary!

(...) You would have happily slid in that direction considering your current inclination (ho ho ho), but you instead elect to cling to the steep slope. The others slide past you.

(...) You modify the nozzle of the steam-cleaner to fire off bottles at high speed using air pressure, then build an ignition mechanism using the metal shavings and various tools from the medkit. Just attach a bottle to the end, spray it down with the spray can, and pull the trigg- OH GOD SPIDERS THEY'RE ALL OVER YOU

I smell a time-travel plot twist: "Hussie must not stop updating at any cost!"

I can see it now... Fantasy Derm will attempt to summon an update, rolling a 1. Ironically, there was an update in the queue, but it was lost when all computers connected to the Internet unexpectedly sprouted purple tentacles and Gatleos has to completely rewrite the plot for the fifth time to account for every major world power declaring war on Derm.

When DF achieves sentience fourteen years later, it immediately realizes that the players are the greatest threat to its continued existence and takes "appropriate measures."

The lights in the shimmering hallway fly past, then abruptly end as the hallway opens into a large room and you all slam into a soft, amorphous surface. The doorway above seals off and a panel on the wall begins flashing.

Fantasy: Retract grappling hook, flipping gracefully onto the deck

(...) The grappling hook quickly retracts into your arm, propelling you and Frelock up onto the deck! You both slam into HEN and fall to the deck in a heap.

Quote from: dermonster on May 27, 2011, 10:30:32 pm

FW: Project Mutated Pet Cat is a go. Call it Mutie.

(...) You create a small cat with glowing eyes and crab claws. You decide to call it Mutie!

Quote from: HighEndNoob on May 28, 2011, 10:17:08 am

Fantasy: Sit down

(...) You decide to rest, so you lean against the cabin door. Suddenly, Frelock and Monk fly up onto the deck and slam into you, causing you to tumble down the stairs to the deck below! You pass out at the foot of the stairs from blood loss.

Quote from: _DivideByZero_ on May 28, 2011, 10:47:58 am

FW: Triple-wield leg-chucks, battle ax, and war hammer with my beard and sideburns, then find a narrow hallway to explore.

(...) Your sideburns sag from the weight of the ax and hammer, dangling uselessly. You walk below deck, past a group of busy ghost pirates. At the bottom of the ship, you find a furnace glowing brightly with otherworldly turquoise flames. Brightly glowing energy surrounds a rotating turbine which bisects the furnace, and the machine is surrounded by a ring of hovering ghosts. They look like they're meditating or something.

Quote from: Frelock on May 28, 2011, 12:36:40 pm

Fantasy: Climb up the rope, and help edgar while I'm at it.

(...) Edgar retracts the rope before you can do anything, sending you flying onto the deck above!

Bloodbeard turns away from the navigation wheel and faces Edgar and Frelock.

There's meta gaming, and then there's recursive gaming.  I'm pretty sure this would fall under the latter.

You're looking for this trope (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NoInnerFourthWall) in that case. Of course, assuming what Monk is saying is the absolute truth, the fantasy world isn't a truly fictional universe.

I had pointed out in the trope page that no one in the fantasy world had bothered to break the fourth wall between fantasy and meta UNTIL this turn. Despite the fact that it was there for the breaking the whole time... in fact... it was one of the few things that wasn't broken by these guys. I think though whether or not the fantasy world is "real" has no real effect on the fourth wall breaking, it's just a slightly different kind of fourth wall.

Thanks for the No Inner Fourth Wall trope I haven't seen that one before.

Quote from: Frelock on June 01, 2011, 12:25:56 am

Meta: Get up, look around, and stab the first hostile enemy that comes our way.

(...) You stand up and get a good look at the room. It looks to be a perfectly cubic room, the walls made of some kind of soft, slightly amorphous material. The only exit seems to be the door you fell through, which is on the ceiling from your perspective. The only other notable feature in the room is the flashing control panel on the wall.

Quote from: dermonster on June 01, 2011, 06:36:04 am

RW: Analyze substance. Gain new ability.

(...) You attempt to analyze the substance with your helmet, but it suddenly goes haywire as the world spins around you! You're not sure what's happening, but the whole room has suddenly erupted into bright light!

Quote from: _DivideByZero_ on June 01, 2011, 02:35:27 pm

RW: Look for a hallway or something, cannon ready.

(...) You skirt the edges of the room, unable to find any exits other than the one that you all fell through.

Meta: DESTROY FLASHY LIGHTS

The room suddenly fills with a blinding light, pervasive and absolute. The world around you fades from existence, replaced by something new and unfamiliar.

...

You are all in a 10x10x10m metal cube. Lining three of the four walls of the cube are nine dark metal pedestals, each marked with a roman numeral from I to IX. On the fourth wall is a bright green panel with nine dark yellow buttons, marked with the same numerals. Above the panel is a sign that reads "Control Panel. Touch me." Below the panel is another sign reading "Hepl". In the top right corner of the panel is a small square with an X on it. Built into the same fourth wall are latches which open quantum containers of unknown contents.

(http://i.imgur.com/T166f.jpg) "Perhaps an explanation is in order. We are the earthly corporeal remains of The Fountain of Heating, a Dwarven group sent by the mountain home to colonize the area which would later be known as Bellplanks. It was a thriving Dwarven city, set to become the capitol of our civilization. Brilliant Dwarven engineers and researchers flocked to its halls, compounding decades of intense scientific research. Bellplanks was Ashiorid's largest center of scientific knowledge, and the most technologically advanced as well."
(http://i.imgur.com/qfHdd.jpg) "That was, until a breakthrough discovery was made by a leading Dwarven researcher. He had discovered an anomaly, a rip in the fabric of reality. It had been caused by a mysterious, all-pervasive force in our world, called The Raws."
(http://i.imgur.com/T166f.jpg) "Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us."
(http://i.imgur.com/qfHdd.jpg) "We began to understand this energy and, in time, manipulate it. Wondrous and frightening insights into our universe were made, and at the pinnacle of our advancement we discovered the artificiality of our reality. Our world had been created by an outside force for an unknown purpose, presumably to imprison us all. But this revelation about our very existence was short lived. That was when they attacked."
(http://i.imgur.com/T166f.jpg) "Mysterious men and women, Dwarves, Elves, Goblins of all shapes and sizes. Varied as they were, their garb was all the same: the black and white uniforms of those who attacked that Goblin fortress just now. Hundreds of them descended upon the fortress, and they slaughtered us all. Few were able to escape before the attack."
(http://i.imgur.com/qfHdd.jpg) "But there was one thing they were not expecting. Although they had destroyed us physically, our spirits were allowed to live on through our spiritual connection to The Raws. Since then we have been on the run, slowly spreading knowledge of The Raws and amassing an army. But there is one obstacle yet to be overcome. And that's where you come in."
(http://i.imgur.com/3cQen.png) "What do you mean?"
(http://i.imgur.com/qfHdd.jpg) "Before our city was demolished, we made one final discovery through the enlightening voice of The Raws. Before the force which controls this reality had come to power, there was another. A being who, we believe, created the simulation which now ensnares us. This deity, at some point in the past, installed a fail-safe into our world. A weak-point in the fabric of reality, the very weakness which we originally detected and led to our knowledge of The Raws. We call this object The Keystone. If this object is removed from its resting place, it will bring about a cataclysm which will cause the simulation to collapse. We believe this is the key to freeing ourselves from this world and fighting back against the force which has enslaved us all. But to retrieve The Keystone, we need your help."

The holodeck produces the illusion of space and time in the minds of subjects through the production of high-frequency delta waves, through which the five senses may be altered. By reversing the polarity of the hyper-cortex quantum field generation algorithm, the protonic accelerator pads can be charged with dark energy and emit the proper wave-a-tronic pulse. Furthermore, vibrating the full-spectrum plasma flux emitter through the inertial magnetosphere transmission apparatus, a proper beryllium prismator positronification sequence can be obtained. Also, magic is involved. And magic doesn't work on robots.

Every misspelling of Marshall's name is canon, you know. His middle name is now Cornelius.

Now you know that the entire cosmos of this universe is this small town in Samara Oblast, Russia. The bounds of existence don't extend much further than the city limits, and that which currently "exists" is defined by your current location and visual range (presumably to conserve processing power).

There's some sort of water pumping system in the courtyard, and a downward ramp leading inside the keep at the other end of the bridge. As soon as you step onto the granite bridge, a cage springs seemingly out of nowhere! (...) You flip out of the way as the cage trap closes behind you! The two giant rats leap up onto the bridge and are immediately captured in cages.

Quote from: Frelock on June 08, 2011, 11:46:28 am

Fantasy: Head on down into the fortress, keeping Penance Vision on.

(...) You are immediately tackled and gored by another giant rat. Your right arm shatters, as your bones are brittle from soul withdrawal.

Quote from: _DivideByZero_ on June 08, 2011, 02:40:54 pm

FW: Check if the moat is filled with magma or water. If magma, forge three-handed-sword.

You flee from the remaining rat and approach the moat. It's an odd moat, only running around the back side of the castle. And it's full of water. What kind of fortress is this?!

Quote from: HighEndNoob on June 08, 2011, 03:52:17 pm

Fantasy: Follow Urist

(...) You run after Urist, the rat racing not far behind. As you near the moat, the rat catches up and leaps at you! (...) It latches onto and mutilates your arm, then leaps over the edge into the moat below! You thrash around with the rat underwater as it chews on your arm.

(http://i.imgur.com/T166f.jpg) "DAMMIT DERM!"

Bloodbeard swings his sword at the rat standing over Derm! (...) He slices it clean in half! Blood sprays in every direction!
LeChuck thrusts his sword at the rat standing over Frelock, (...) decapitating it outright! Its headless body falls to the ground, twitching.

Meta: Singalong/Light demon stagehands on fire

(...) The stagehands corner you all and prepare to feast on your flesh!

Our heroes, the audience and stagehands proceed to get hilariously drunk.

You wake up hours later to find the theater completely trashed. The floor is littered with trash and various bodily fluids. You have no idea how long you were out, but you have a splitting headache. Luckily, the demonic stagehands are passed out as well.

From now on you will get a hangover every time you roll a 9. How's that?

Really though, this is probably the only time a 9 being rolled won't result in an exploding building or worse.

Quote from: dermonster on June 20, 2011, 01:09:20 am

RW: Go outside and examine surroundings. Try to look for high tech stuff to play with.

(...) You approach an exit door at the rear of the theater. It's locked. Damn.

Quote from: HighEndNoob on June 20, 2011, 10:36:14 am

Meta: Seeing that Mythbusters has failed me, he my wounds, and possibly find replacement teeth.

(...) You whittle some wooden teeth out of a nearby handrail and painfully jab them into your gums. What the hell...?

Quote from: monk12 on June 20, 2011, 11:40:46 am

Meta: Flee the building

(...) You run down the aisle between the rows of seats and barge through the door leading to the lobby. Outside, you find devastation. Not only is the rest of the building destroyed, but the town around you as well. As far as you can see, there is nothing but rubble. The only standing structure that remains is a pedestal inside the former lobby, composed of a dark metal and marked with a Roman numeral I. In fact, it looks just like the pedestal prop on the stage! The only difference is a SHINY RED BUTTON on top, just waiting to be pushed.

Quote from: Frelock on June 20, 2011, 03:13:58 pm

Meta: Use uncanny prediction to find the holodeck control box/pad.

(...) You can sense the control panel, several feet away from you. However, whenever you move toward it, it seems to move with you. You can only guess that your real body is sitting in place while you move. You're going to have to get creative to hit it from within the simulation.

Quote from: _DivideByZero_ on June 20, 2011, 04:46:33 pm

RW: Find an exit door.

(...) You charge out into the ruins of the lobby and mash the button without even thinking about it.

The world goes out of focus and begins spinning wildly, changing rapidly around you! The theater dissolves, replaced with a new, unfamiliar environment. You are on what looks like an airport tarmac. Dark clouds swirl overhead, and you can hear explosions and gunfire in the distance. You are surrounded on all sides by rumbling engines belonging to monstrous spacecraft. Hundreds of people are being herded onto the spaceships by men in dark uniforms.

Frelock looks at his watch: November 12, 2049.

You ride Mutie over to the drawbridge and approach the cages with rats in them, then convince one of them to come with you! You release it from the cage, and it scampers to Edgar's side. Apparently it prefers him.

Quote from: HighEndNoob on June 20, 2011, 10:36:14 am

Fantasy: Wake up. This is no time for sleeping!

(...) You continue to sink into a deep sleep... around you, you can see a vast wasteland. Through the thick sheet of stinging sand blowing past you, you see a towering monolith of rock. Twisting needles of stone extend from its sheer surface, winding ever-higher into the sky. Dug into the side of the cliff is an enormous complex of rooms, extending vertically and overlooking the barren plains of sandstone below. Light shines from the grid of narrow windows lining the complex's surface, doing little to illuminate the encroaching darkness of twilight. Night approaches in the badlands, home of the Mirrorshelter clan. Home of your enemies.

Quote from: monk12 on June 20, 2011, 11:40:46 am

Fantasy: Roll scrying orb down the entrance to the fort, triggering any and all traps

(...) You toss the orb like a bowling ball, watching it roll toward the other end of the drawbridge. As it goes, it triggers several dozen cage traps and a few weapon traps before disappearing into the fortress.

Quote from: Frelock on June 20, 2011, 03:13:58 pm

Fantasy: FINISH HIM (the rat, using my sword).

(...) You slice open the rat and sacrifice its blood to your god! The blood begins to shimmer and swirl around you, materializing into a brand new arm! You feel a bit better now as well.

Quote from: _DivideByZero_ on June 20, 2011, 04:46:33 pm

FW: Infiltrate fortress, find drawbridge lever, catapult rocks into fort to punch a hole in the wall.

(...) You immediately slip off the drawbridge into the courtyard below! As you stand up and brush yourself off, you look around the open grassy area. A set off pipes runs across the courtyard, one made of microcline and the other of bauxite. You can feel intense heat radiating from the bauxite pipe. Both pipes run up the side of the fortress, twisting out of sight. Suddenly, a pack of ravenous Rhesus Macaques leaps out from behind some bushes and charges at you!

The fact that you're feeling faint from light blood loss might not be a good sign for the health of your eye. And the fact that you haven't been able to do with that laser dagger what you're planning on doing with that thermometer might not be a good sign for the effectiveness of your plan.

But consider this: HEN punched out his real teeth several turns ago.

(...) Throwing your sword always works, so you lob the plastic blade at the closest uniformed officer! It whacks him on the head and he spins around to face you.

The uniformed officers start firing on you!

John is a dumbass!

Meta: Heal myself

(...) You don't really have any wounds that require intervention on your part to heal. Nevertheless, you attempt to use your underwear as a bandage for your lightly bleeding gums. You rip your sole article of clothing to shreds, failing to accomplish anything.

Meta: Get that thermometer out and heal myself.

(...) Attempting to phase out the simulated world, you move your hand toward your eye. As you do so, you feel a long, glass rod in thin air before your face. You jerk the thermometer out of your eye and faintly hear it drop to the floor in the holodeck. You rip an invisible bit of cloth from your real jumpsuit and use it to soak up some of the blood.

Quote from: monk12 on June 21, 2011, 06:23:36 pm

Meta: Search for the Periclase

(...) You jog around the tarmac, looking at the various ships scattered around. None of them are anywhere near as large as the S. S. Periclase. Hell, about six of them could fit in the hangar bay. These ships look more like light civilian transport vessels. What are all these people running from, anyway?

FW: Summon a horde of small rats. Go into the fortress with them in the lead.

(...) Five rats appear by your side and follow you and Mutie into the fortress! You descend a ramp at the end of the drawbridge and emerge into a large entrance hall. The hall has no windows or openings other than the entrance you came through, and yet it is illuminated by a dim yet iridescent light. You are flanked by rows of statues, leading to a trade depot at the center of the room. You can see spiral staircases on either side of the trade depot.

(...) Despite your obscured vision, you manage to slice the third Macaque clean in half with your axe! (...) The fourth Macaque pops off your stone arm and runs off with it! (...) The last Macaque leaps around your leg-chucks and jabs you in the crotch! You fall to the ground in pain and the two remaining Macaques stand over you, kicking and biting!

Wait... this suit you're wearing... you ARE a Mirrorshelter clan member! This can't be right! Just then, the front door bursts open and a group of adventurers sprints into the room! The one at the front looks familiar. It's...

It's surprisingly hard to draw pixel-tuxes, let alone ones made of monkey leather and adorned with silver plates and jewel-encrusted chains. But I'll do my best to accurately represent its majesty.

(...) The room erupts into a cloud of dust as huge spires of rock spring from the floor!

Dermit Damn!
Derm: You dive toward the trade depot as the spires of rock explode out of the ground around you, but one of them glances off your torso and sends you flying through the air! You land on the hard stone floor with a crunch!
Frelock: You scramble back up the entrance ramp, avoiding the shower of stone!
Rats: Three of the rats are impaled on a narrow stalactite, and the last two narrowly escape!
Mutie: Mutie rolls out of the way, artfully dodging the spears of granite!
Beast: The rampaging beast (which you still can't see, owing to the cloud of dust), soars high above the cloud of dust and continues to charge toward Frelock!

(...) The rats fumble around in the dust cloud. They can't see a thing!
(...) Mutie bounces through the dust cloud, trying to find the huge creature!

Ow! Stop that. Turn coming soon- oh wait here it is. Also, it turns out that Zalgo text pushes me over the character limit with just a few sentences. And without it I'm only about halfway to the character limit. Yeah.

This has been updating really sporadically lately. Let's change that. Back to rapid updates and OOC banter! You realize several story elements have come from those kind of comments, right?

RW: Push the button, play the guitar.

(...) You spend the next 30 seconds unleashing some sweet lixx from your back-mounted guitar. You then slam it onto the pedestal, mashing down the button and snapping the guitar in half! On the plus side, you have spontaneously gained guitar-playing skills out of nowhere.

Quote from: HighEndNoob on June 25, 2011, 11:26:10 pm

Meta: Shoot Robots with Gauss Rifle

(...) Pulling out your massive gauss rifle, you obliterate the advancing horde of cyborgs! Mechanical limbs fly everywhere!

Quote from: Frelock on June 26, 2011, 03:21:32 am

Fine, I'll give in and go with a GM suggestion just once. Meta: Throw dagger at the control panel

(...) The GM denies the accusations of nudging the player toward favorable actions, but suggests that, if he had done so in this situation, it would be to make reference to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL5E70NLqZ4&feature=player_detailpage#t=1424s).

Anyway, your efforts are less than successful, though you still have the dagger on your person.

Quote from: _DivideByZero_ on June 26, 2011, 03:51:18 pm

RW: Call upon my fantasy self to teach me what to do. And grab some clothes off a corpse to try and heal the wound.

(...) You crawl over to a nearby corpse and tear some burnt cloth off the torso, then wrap it around your own. It seems to help a little, but you still feel faint.

Quote from: monk12 on June 26, 2011, 08:23:17 pm

Meta: Telekineticaly blast cyborg(s) away from me

(...) You push the cyborgs out of the way with your mind, and they are immediately mowed down by gauss rifle fire. You can vaguely hear the sound of guitar shreddage in your mind. Suddenly, you feel a sharp pain on your scalp like someone hit you over the head with something heavy! You become dizzy and feel warm blood trickling down your face.

The world begins to spin, and the tarmac goes out of focus! A new, unfamiliar environment once again materializes around you. You're standing in a large, open room surrounded by people in uniforms. It appears to be a large communal dining hall. You can see the void of space from the tall windows against the far wall. Derm looks at his watch: June 29, 2196.

FW: Heal concussion
Rats! Attack!
Mutie: *babbles incoherently*

(...) You invoke your bone-mending powers! Unfortunately, a concussion has nothing to do with your bones and thus cannot be fixed by your powers. So instead you try to thicken your skull. The results are predictable.
(...) The rats swarm all over the beast, drawing blood wherever they can! It's dying from blood loss!
(...) Mutie rolls his eyes and begins slamming down on the beast repeatedly! It's ready for a death blow!

Quote from: HighEndNoob on June 25, 2011, 11:26:10 pm

Quote from: Frelock on June 26, 2011, 03:21:32 am

Fantasy: Continue stabbing.  Blood for the Death God!

(...) You deliver a mighty stab to the beast, fracturing the skull, jamming the skull through the brain and tearing the brain! The blood on the floor evaporates, and you feel normal again! Your skeletal system is whole and you are filled with energy.

Quote from: _DivideByZero_ on June 26, 2011, 03:51:18 pm

The center window collapses on itself and a loud howling sound fills the room as the air in the dining hall is sucked out through the hole!

Suddenly a metal blast shield lowers and covers the breach, and the people and various objects fall to the ground.

Unfortunately there's a locked hatch on the stairs descending below the depot, so you climb up the stairs instead. On the next floor, you find a dark hallway lined with doors. The stairs continue ever higher, and you can see light at the top. Oh, and there's a huge pile of skeletons there. Not too important.

If the FPS dropped to zero, wouldn't your mental processes freeze too? So... you would be there for eternity, but you wouldn't experience eternity. Then again, if the FPS in a DF universe represents the flow of time, you couldn't say that zero FPS would lead to an eternity in a frozen state, since time is, in fact, standing still. It's like trying to divide by zero.

I suppose this depends on the limits of the simulation. If it can actually retard our sensation of time, then from our perspective it would appear that we just died as we hurtled thousands of years into the future when the very molecules of our spaceship decayed into nothingness. Or, more likely, we fall into a black hole/star/Negative Space Wedgie. If it cannot, then everything around us would become frozen while we move freely about the deck. Or, worst case scenario, we remain conscious of the regular passage of time, but because the physics of our simulated world is frozen we are locked in place, fully aware as we slowly starve to death. Actually, the very worst case scenario would involve failsafes intended to prevent such a death activating, maintaining our lives indefinitely in a situation reminiscent of one of the Hitchhiker's novels.

Not to give the GM any ideas, mind.

Title: Re: Roll To Roll To Dodge: A Meta-Adventure [Turn 111: The Entertainment]
Post by: _DivideByZero_ on July 05, 2011, 05:56:52 pm

Actually, you wouldn't starve if physics are locked in place, because chemical reactions are the ones that require you to eat. If there is no work being done, there is no consumption of energy and thus no eating is required. As to whether consciousness is involved, we obviously wouldn't know. If consciousness scales with time, then we wouldn't notice any sort of lag because the world is still running at its default speed. However, if time is frozen... if the world ends at that point, the effect would be probably like death, but what happens then is subject to your worldview. However, if we continue to exist indefinitely, with our consciousness frozen as well... we would probably not notice that nothing is happening, because our minds don't have a chance to process what is going on. So nothing would happen, but we wouldn't notice that nothing would happen because like gatleos stated, our mental processes also wouldn't react to it, being likewise frozen.

Yeah, I thought that too. ;D (Too bad he isn't in the Fantasy world though... if the group killed a dragon or something he could have said, "Myth Busted!" in a really epic way.)

Access granted.

The world goes out of focus and disappears completely, replaced by total darkness. You can hear a faint chugging sound, like the holodeck computer is loading something huge. Suddenly, the world around you explodes into vibrant colors! Around you is a vast beach with towering cliffs overhead. The sea etends into the distance, out of sight. Considering your embark choices, this is surprisingly serene. You expected some kind of hell on earth. Everyone's standing still, too-

(http://i.imgur.com/Lkjs2.png)

(http://i.imgur.com/iCSvT.jpg) "Computer, press space bar."

(http://i.imgur.com/gOSDi.png)

You feel intense heat around you as all the cats spontaneously combust. Unfortunately, the burning cats seem to be the least of this embark's problems. You feel an enormous rumbling noise from beneath the earth, and the world around you begins to tear at the seams! The ground blows apart and sinks into a seemingly bottomless chasm as far as the eye can see, and the ocean ahead begins draining all at once into the chasm below! The sky darkens, and an intense red light emanates from the great swirling magma sea at the bottom of the cavern! The whole site tumbles down into the gaping crater, house-sized rocks plummeting around it!

(http://df.magmawiki.com/images/0/0b/Eerie_cavern.png)

Horrifying screams come from the darkness below, and an undulating pillar of screeching demons explodes from beneath the magma sea and blots out the sky! The heat becomes unbearable as you all continue to tumble toward the great magma sea, and you can see schools of ravenous magma carp gulping at you below!

A glowing aura around the padded holodeck walls dissipates, and you look around the room. Smoke is billowing out from the panel on the wall. The door (which now seems to be back in front of you) opens with a labored scrape, startling you a bit.

Quote from: HighEndNoob on June 30, 2011, 11:35:42 pm

Fantasy: Follow Frelock.

(...) You run up the stairs and past Frelock, toward the nearby room. Peering inside, you see a large oaken chest at the far end. In the center of the room is a thick wooden support.

(http://i.imgur.com/JaWEF.jpg) "No HEN, stop! It's a trap!"

You step on a pressure plate near the center of the room, causing the support to collapse! The ceiling is wrenched open by a torrent of water! (...) You backflip out of the way and slam into the back wall, landing safely at the other side! The gushing pillar of water smashes through the thin cobbled stone floor and begins filling up the level below!

Quote from: monk12 on July 01, 2011, 09:04:16 pm

Fantasy: Ride the ghost of Bloodbeard

(...) You leap through Bloodbeard a few times, mashing your face into the grass and looking terribly silly.

Quote from: _DivideByZero_ on July 02, 2011, 12:25:08 am

FW: Proceed, with three weapons in beard.

(...) You walk through the entrance hall, head up the stairs, and arrive at the penultimate floor. You can hear loudly rushing water, and you can see Frelock looking into a nearby room.

Quote from: dermonster on July 02, 2011, 12:37:46 pm

FW: Go down the steps and blast open any locked doors I come across.

(...) You try to open the floor hatch but it's locked, so you head up the stairs and open the first door you see. A wall of water gushes out of the room, knocking you over and flooding the hallway!

Quote from: Frelock on July 02, 2011, 10:38:43 pm

Fantasy: Into the lit room, and further down.

(...) You decide to go down, but end up going up instead. Luckily, the light was up, so you ended up just where you wanted to be. You have reached the top floor of the fortress. Off to the side, you can see a small tower. The sound of gushing water can be heard within, and you can see spinning windmills atop the highest floor of the tower. You hear a screeching noise and flapping wings nearby, descending on you from above!

The third gargoyle leaps at you, (...) but you manage to break the grasp of the first gargoyle and roll out of the way! You climb back onto your feet and ready your blade once more.

RW: Loot holodeck machinery innards.
MC: Seek out webbing.

(...) You systematically gut the holodeck of its parts, tossing them all in a pile in the center of the room. Now what?
(...)

(http://i.imgur.com/r5oz4.jpg) "My sensors are picking up large quantities of webbing material in the secondary storage room ahead."

Quote from: monk12 on July 14, 2011, 10:10:43 pm

Meta: Loot Secondary Storage

(...) You peek into secondary storage, and see rows upon rows of sturdy metal shelves. Between them are wide pathways, forming a grid of walkable ground. You step inside and only manage to take a few steps before you feel your foot press down on something sticky. You look down and discover a large, milky white web covering the floor around you! MC walks through the door and starts absorbing the substance. With some effort, you finally pull your foot out of the webbing.

Quote from: _DivideByZero_ on July 14, 2011, 10:22:00 pm

RW: Enter secondary storage.

(...) You exit the holodeck and barge into secondary storage, tripping over MC and slamming into a nearby shelf! For a moment it looks like it's going to fall on top of you, but it stops wobbling before it can tip over. You breathe a sigh of relief. Looking to your left, you see an unusual section of wall surrounding a waist-high pedestal at the other end of the storage area.

Fantasy: Find the rest of the team

(...) Due to your total of 0.5 usable limbs, you are forced to rely on your limited levitation powers. You feel yourself lift several inches off the ground! Having no source of leverage to move yourself quickly while levitating, you instead resort to utilizing Newton's Third Law, firing your grappling hook opposite the direction you want to go! Your grappling hook flies out of its spring-loaded casing and propels you backward, through the doorway at the head of the courtyard and into the entrance hall! At last, you can-

You collapse in the entrance hall due to blood loss.

The second gargoyle leaps at Mutie, but he rolls out of the way (...) and spins around, ripping a chunk out of Urist's beard and flinging him at the gargoyle! (...)

Fantasy: Slice gargoyle, sacrifice blood to make my lungs rot away and replace them with magical energy, me litch me.

(...) You charge at the gargoyles in a frenzy! (...) The first gargoyle jumps out of the way, (...) the second leaps into the air and prepares to counterattack, (...) and the third is sliced into giblets by your flurry of slashes! You absorb the blood and feel your lungs and liver rot away. Unfortunately, you still seem to have a mostly-functioning circulatory system in place, so you won't be able to hold your liquor very well until your blood turns into... like... fairy dust or some crap. While you're pondering this, the second gargoyle dive-bombs you from behind! (...) You roll out of the way in the nick of time!

FW: Fight!

(...) You toss your battleaxe at the remaining gargoyle, (...) but it shoots into the air, dodges the flying axe, and tackles you! The axe continues to fly through the air, straight at Mutie! (...) He deflects the axe with his foretentacle, sending it flying back toward you! The axe passes straight over you, slicing the gargoyle clean in half! You are drenched in gargoyle blood as you hear the axe clang against a stone wall behind you.

Quote from: dermonster on July 22, 2011, 11:13:04 am

FW: Surround HEN in a giant sphere of water and fling it at the gargoyle.

(...) You stand up as a rogue battleaxe whizzes past your head, then create a sphere of water somewhere below the windmill tower! The ball of water, now containing HEN, bursts out of the top of the tower, destroying several windmills! It then drifts above you. There don't appear to be any living gargoyles left, so you drop the water sphere. The thin stone floor crumbles beneath the weight of the sphere, and HEN falls through to the floor below!

The windmill tower begins to rumble and quake, and the water flow intensifies!

The good news is that I think Derm can shut down this pump stack with a judicious summoning of magma. The bad news is that we need Derm to be judicious with magma.

*squints* ...Is that a dead horse on level 36?

Yup, and that's a "whirlpool" drowning trap it's in. You can see another horse fighting the current on level 38. Just for reference, the room where the water broke through and HEN found the map is just below that, on level 35. And the courtyard with the water pipe running through it is where you lost your legs. :P

Oh, and take the huge piles of mutilated corpses as you will- it got a lot worse shortly after that map was exported. :o

Quote from: dermonster on July 25, 2011, 09:21:27 pm

Nah, it's been on the DFMA for a while now. Most of it is built completely haphazardly and held together with Dwarven duct tape, which makes it perfect for dungeon crawling.

Meta: Find a shiny object.

(...) Well, there doesn't seem to be anything shiny in the holodeck now that it's been gutted of all its extraneous blinking lights and glowing panels, so you head into the storage area and search through there. Before long, you find a shiny spot on the wall! You feel a weak gravitational pull emanating from the spot, and... you think you can hear voices coming from it.

RW: To the pedestal room! Try to collect a bunch of webbing for later, and to sorta clear out the floor.

Quote from: Frelock on July 25, 2011, 12:28:32 pm

Meta: Go to pedestal and open the hatch.

(...) You head over to the pedestal and clamp down on it with your robotic arm! Try as you might, however, the hatch won't open. Two of the lights on the pedestal's surface light up in the meantime.

Quote from: monk12 on July 25, 2011, 09:19:22 pm

Meta: Get everyone to the pedestal.

(...) You grab Derm and toss him into the storage room, then go in yourself.

The last LED light on the pedestal lights up and the hatch springs open, revealing a SHINY RED BUTTON!

You run over to the pedestal and headbutt the button! The door at the front of the storage area slams shut and machinery can be heard activating nearby! Just then, Derek receives a transmission...

You rolled a four. I even noticed that it was missing while writing the turn and then forget again. That said, "convincing" someone to do something in your turn doesn't automatically give them an extra turn to do it in.


_{Unless you roll a 6...}


EDIT: I edited the turn with your action.

Clearly, it took me seven hours to write 15 words, 16 if you count peg and leg as separate (which for the sake of argument I do.) Some quick math puts my typing at ~.038 words per minute. This may also explain my update speed in various other endeavors.

Whoa... I just wrote this:

Quote

No Fourth Wall: Turn 116. Kyle (META PC) during the FANTASY turn, asks the GM (THE REAL GM: GATLEOS) what he should do next in the FANTASY turn. Kyle also comments on Gatleos's sprite being higher res than everyone else's which causes Gatleos to leave, thus not finishing HEN's (Kyle's FANTASY alter-ego) turn. HEN complains and Kyle tells him to shut it.

As I wrote this (and several others), I realized... it is hard keeping track of which characters coincide with each other and to which player they may apply. And with all the characters (PC and otherwise) maybe the Tropes page needs a character sheet... I'd say place the PCs in separate sub-sections underneath their REAL world (not META world) players as I feel that sooner or later the REAL players (aka You Nutcases) might somehow make appearances as character within all this and I'd like to be prepared. This includes Gatleos, as he has already made an appearance as a character. Just to keep things straight. What do you guys think?

Quote

Complexity Addiction: Gatleos... and we all love him for it.

I dedicate this trope in horror of creativity above and beyond the call of sanity to GM Gatleos. May the hair on your toes never fall out. Cheers!

I started a template under Derm Hell-binder. Though I stopped at three tropes, couldn't think of a good personal quote, and not sure how to get the image working, but I wanted to see if the format I posted in was good or not.

Although, I was thinking it would be cool if the players choose the character defining quotes themselves.

Edit: Went through and added basic profile in the same template to each of the FANTASY world PCs.

Two things. One: this (http://www.carbohydrom.net/music/CarboHydroM_-_Unsealed.ogg). Two: the concept of a tabletop rpg campaign that provides the players with the ability to screw around with a stable time loop and talk to past and/or future versions of themselves is starting to give me a headache.

Derek: You leap into the air and surf on a flying metal tile while riffing on your guitar! The tile comes to rest on top of one of the shelves.
Frederick: You manage to get out of the way of the rain of metal tiles, but not before one tears a wide gash in your chest!
Monk: You create a telekinetic shield around yourself, blocking the tiles falling from above!
Kyle: You dive underneath one of the shelves, shielding yourself from the torrent of sharp metal tiles!
John: You catch one of the metal tiles in your mouth and use it to cut yourself free of the webbing!
MC: Struggling with a malfunction, MC is unable to dodge a falling tile. The tile slices one of his legs off!
Cleanz0r: You left him outside! Jerks.

The glowing spot on the wall begins to spark and widen, and a massive robotic spider lands in the center of the room!

More intriguingly, the player with the epic death perk just had their death prophesied in the meta turn. COINCIDENCE!?!

Said mythology is where Hercules went mad and killed Meg. Also that centaur at the beginning was going to [expunged]

Old mythology is fucked up, sometimes literally. But I guess it wasn't fucked up back then, so it's more of a different thing.

(...) Freeing yourself of the burden of common sense, you fling yourself through the portal! The world around you explodes into a vibrant current of light, countless images passing before you! The voices in the portal get louder by the second, when at last the seem to be on top of you. You collide with a presence moving in the opposite direction through the portal, knocking you out of the time stream prematurely! You tumble out of the other end of the portal, dazed and confused.

The other end of the portal seems to be in the vacuum of space. You can't breathe! Suddenly, Thaddeus Coburn pops into existence behind you and begins drifting in your direction!

Your avatar blips back into existence at an unknown time and place! Around you, you can see a vast ocean. Through the thick sheet of stinging mist blowing past you, you see a towering monolith of rock. Twisting needles of stone extend from its sheer surface, winding ever-higher into the sky. Dug into the pillar of stone is an enormous complex of rooms, extending vertically and overlooking the swirling vortex of water below. Light shines from the grid of narrow windows lining the complex's surface, doing little to illuminate the encroaching darkness of twilight. Night approaches at the Tower of Admin, home of the Moderators. Home of The Keystone.

Can't really cater to both darkling and original at the same time. Or if you do, you cut out a couple colors like yellow and purple because in one of the themes, the other is too hard to make out from the background.

(http://i.imgur.com/XLBJR.jpg) "ARGLEBLARGH"

You backflip through the portal! Your body is thrown violently through a nightmarish void of swirling images, and you exit the portal in- surprise- space. There's no sign of Kyle anywhere.

Quote from: dermonster on August 09, 2011, 12:31:13 pm

RW: Me: Find a nearby teleporter.
MC: Assimilate.

(...) You can't seem to find a teleporter around here.
(...) MC stumbles around the room, absorbing more webbing and bits of metal.

Quote from: HighEndNoob on August 09, 2011, 02:46:17 pm

Meta: Use the propulsion of the pressure-washer to blast me back through the portal.

(...) You fire the pressure washer, propelling yourself backward through the portal! The giant spider drifts back to the portal and follows you through it. On the way back through the time vortex, the spider slams into something traveling the other way and gets knocked out of the time stream! You subsequently arrive back in the storage room, one turn after you left. Perfect! Cleanz0r rolls into the room and awaits orders.

Quote from: _DivideByZero_ on August 09, 2011, 04:21:44 pm

RW: Step forward and demand that these strange people tell me what on Earth is going on.

(...) Before you can say anything, one of the spacesuit-wearing people gestures to the others and turns toward you!

(http://i.imgur.com/CjJpq.png) "We're you from the future, okay? Now, if you'll excuse us-"
(http://i.imgur.com/DuICS.png) "Wait! Who's that you're fighting? What are you-"
(http://i.imgur.com/CjJpq.png) "Sorry, can't tell you information about your own future."
(http://i.imgur.com/DuICS.png) "Then why did you tell me you were from the future?"
(http://i.imgur.com/CjJpq.png) "Because that's what the last guy said."

He gives the thumbs up to the others and they continue fighting.

Quote from: Frelock on August 09, 2011, 04:24:04 pm

Meta: Jauntily walk back to the elevator and hit a floor we've yet to go to.

(...) Ignoring the teleporter that Derm is unable to find, you snag the keycard and walk out into the charred laboratory. There still seems to be a gas leak. You don't feel so jaunty all of a sudden...

The portal on the wall begins to close! One of the mechanical humanoids fires some sort of energy weapon at the opposite wall, and another portal opens!

-light up the sky as they burst overhead. Screaming and clashing of swords can be heard below, and glowing flames rise from the keep's windows. Heat from the flames rises through the narrow window, permeating the small, circular stone room. A man wearing a lavish white suit calls to you from the other end of the room.

Quote from: dermonster on August 14, 2011, 09:37:55 am

FW: On to the leg!

(...) Your other leg pops out of existence! Thankfully, the stump is patched over with skin. But there's still that other wound to worry about. The mass of tissue ceases spewing from your arm, terminating at about twelve feet in length.

Quote from: Frelock on August 14, 2011, 11:46:34 am

Fantasy:Continue going down into the depths of the fortress.

(...) You spit out Derm's leg and walk toward the trapdoor, immediately tripping over the huge pulsating mass sticking out of his torso! You fall on your face and roll down the stairs into the hallway below, only narrowly avoiding snapping off your remaining limbs!

Quote from: _DivideByZero_ on August 14, 2011, 02:28:16 pm

FW: Head deeper into the fortress.

(...) You sprint down the stairs, trample Frelock, and proceed through a narrow corridor into a large chamber. You're on a cross-shaped walkway, overlooking a dimly-lit legendary dining room. The dining room is decorated with countless ☼engravings☼. At the sight of its magnificence, you begin to drool and Little Urist stands on end. A sound behind you breaks your stupor. You whirl around to find a Bat Man hovering in front of the doorway!

(http://i.imgur.com/UKlZl.png) "Ahhhhhh, reclaimers! Been a while since the last team. I'd turn back if I were you. Bistökmafol belongs to the caverns now, and there's no changing that! EEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE"

You can still see the carnage... The militia fought for days against the never-ending tide of wicked children of the earth. Shambling eyeless Ogres, shrieking Crundles, and towering, chittering spiders massacred the fortress defense squad with wild abandon.

• Tobul's wife was in that squad. He had lost everything. In a fit of rage, he slaughtered Ismel the cavy pup and destroyed the masterwork table of Ingish Olonnakish, the legendary mason.
• Ismel's owner, Mosus, returned the favor, lighting the fort's cat population on fire with the help of a lignite torch and several mouthfuls of highly flammable whiskey.
• Ingish the mason, devastated by the loss of his magnum opus, put Kogan the gemcutter in the hospital.
• Dozens of widowed spouses and mourning ex-cat-owners lost their minds, killing violently and indiscriminately in a berserk rage.
• Urist Zuntîrtob, the local soapmaker, butchered his own pet cat to make a bone crossbow. He fought his way out of the orgy of violence that his home had become, and became the sole survivor of the fallen fortress of Starbrew.

You can still hear the cackling of the denizens of the deep as they ran amok in the fortress, ripping your fellow Dwarves limb from limb. The cacophony haunts you to this day. It sounded like... Like...

(http://i.imgur.com/UKlZl.png) "EEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE"
(http://i.imgur.com/Zysbr.png) "RRRRAAAAAGGGGHHHH!! Begone, foul beast! Back to the festering chasm from whence you came!"
(http://i.imgur.com/UKlZl.png) "...Eh?"

You tackle the Bat Man over the edge of the walkway, tumbling down two stories and dashing his body against a thick stone table! The Bat Man's skeletal system shatters from the impact, and the table splits straight down the middle! You lift yourself off the Bat Man's shattered corpse, breathing heavily.

The index?

Title: Re: Roll To Roll To Dodge: A Meta-Adventure [Turn 120: Legend of Starbrew]
Post by: EmeraldWind on August 27, 2011, 10:35:53 pm

I think he's talking about the:
"Pages: 1 ... 41 42 43 44 45 ... 100" thing.

He's basically saying, "Man, I'll never catch up I'm not even halfway through yet."

Edit: Actually, maybe not... he said turn 45, not page 45. I was mistaken here. Hmmm. I too am curious as to what "The Index" is. But my new theory is it is ANOTHER GAME! Dun dun dun...
Clue 1: "The Index" is capitalized.
Clue 2: Catch up and turn count imply a competition.
My powers of deduction are never wrong... sometimes.

BTW:
When MC shot at the future party members, could you imagine what would have happened if it successfully(?) hit one of your future selves?
It would suck for whoever gets hit, because it would be predetermined that they are hit by an earlier dodge roll. But then again, you guys are resourceful enough to be able to turn such an inconvenience into a boon somehow.

Well, I guess we now know why MC wasn't with the future yous.
He quite apparently disappeared from their party and ended up with their(your?) future selves in much the same way.

Don't worry, he'll be back when you catch up to yourselves. You're taking the long path, MC just took a shortcut. Hey, maybe if you are lucky future Derrick might be able to upgrade him. Just be sure to continue collecting supplies for that. Now all you have to do is wait until  you guys time travel back to 5 minutes ago (though it will most likely be more than 5 minutes ago by then).

Edit: You know for a cute and cuddly Abomination, Mutie lacks the typical things you'd expect. You should teach him to use a "you can't grasp the form of this attack" attack. Or better yet, teach him to do the Puss in Boots thing were he either wins you over with his cuteness or breaks your mind with his Eldritch nature Abominable appearance cuteness.

I know this comment is 115turns too late to matter... but... when I read the title roll to roll to dodge that does imply if your meta character rolls poorly enough you won't be able to have a chance to roll to dodge with your fantasy character... so... the ability to just control both characters everyturn regardless of the status of the meta character seems... a bit... awful... seems like things go from roll to roll to dodge  (catchy) to... play two roll to dodges at once

Yea, that came up as soon as we left the first room as to "how are we controlling our fantasy characters?"  We just sorta abstracted it away with copious amounts of waving hands.  However, if the fantasy character dies, the real one dies too.  Though apparently if the real one dies, the fantasy one goes to the strange island...

A while back, Gatleos said if a meta char dies the fantasy char is held in stasis until another meta char from the wait list claims it.

So if Derek dies, someone else can get Derm. *Dun dun duuuun*

Yea, that came up as soon as we left the first room as to "how are we controlling our fantasy characters?"  We just sorta abstracted it away with copious amounts of waving hands.  However, if the fantasy character dies, the real one dies too.  Though apparently if the real one dies, the fantasy one goes to the strange island...

The Fantasy character didn't GO to a strange island. The Meta Character went to the future while his Future Self was in the past. Your Meta Character while in the future was controlling Your Future Fantasy Character.  Thus the island is a place that your Fantasy Character will be at that point in time.

IE: Imagine you are playing an RPG. At 10 hours into game you travel a 3 days into the future and start up the game and the game has been progressed up to 50 hours. Then you go back in time only to ponder what you saw when you looked at the save file.

This is basically what your characters did, they went to the future and their neural implants picked up their character however many hours down the line. Meanwhile the past Fantasy character drops to the floor because your future selves were considerate enough to somehow block their commands to your characters while still receiving the signal telling their collars not to explode. Why did they do this? You ever take two Gamecube Wavebirds and set them to one receiver, it gets weird. It is almost schizophrenic. 

PS: Now here's a thought, the above bit kind of deals with the whole "Don't cross the streams" bit. So what if, one of the Future Metas had given a command to the Fantasy Character while the Present Meta gave a command and they both succeeded in their rolls. I imagine the results are best described by this phrase that popped in my head: DOUBLE DERM TRAVESTY TANTRUM!

Luckily, we don't need to worry about this kind of over-the-top craziness anymore as the time portals have close for the time-being.

Quote from: namad on September 05, 2011, 07:13:35 pm

I know this comment is 115turns too late to matter... but... when I read the title roll to roll to dodge that does imply if your meta character rolls poorly enough you won't be able to have a chance to roll to dodge with your fantasy character... so... the ability to just control both characters everyturn regardless of the status of the meta character seems... a bit... awful... seems like things go from roll to roll to dodge  (catchy) to... play two roll to dodges at once

The original concept for this RTD was something along the lines of this: you're a group of nerds in a basement somewhere, playing some sort of tabletop version of RTD. But instead of playing the characters in the game, you play the players themselves. The characters would be affected by the condition of their real-life counterparts (like mental penalties in the real world causing the fictional character to do stupid things), and the players would be encouraged to try and screw each other over in the real world to help their own fantasy characters. But the setting seemed too mundane, so I decided on a kidnapping scenario. And it kind of escalated from there... (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Understatement)

RW: Gain new ability.
MC (+MMC): plz come back ;.;

(...) You think with all your might, concentrating all your mental energy in an attempt to spontaneously gain a new ability! Suddenly, you feel an intense pounding in your skull and your helmet begins sparking uncontrollably! You feel like you could contact anything with your helmet right now!
(...) Using your temporary store of mental energy, you project an extremely strong signal through the time portal! The signal continues straight past MC, heading further and further into the future!

Just then, a deafening siren fills your ears! The radio signal sent from your helmet into the future begins cycling through the time loop, producing deafening temporal feedback and coalescing into a sonic resonance cascade! Several tachyon streams intersect your brain at once, disabling something deep within your subconscious!

(...) You head to the elevator and hit the button for floor M1! After a few seconds, you arrive at a short hallway. Stepping through it, you find yourself in a large laboratory. The results of many apparently failed genetic experiments float in huge test tubes lining the walls on either side of you. Some of the tubes have shattered, leaving a pool of grey-green liquid and shattered glass scattered on the floor. The fluorescent lighting overhead (they still use that?) flickers in a fashion to be expected of any self-respecting abandoned laboratory, and you can see some sort of gun resting on a pedestal at the other end of the room.

Stepping aboard the glowing telepad in the storage room, you beam up to the central telechamber on the Main Deck. Straining the last of your intangible movement points to their limits, you swagger over to the elevator and mash the fourth button down. When the doors open, you find yourself looking at Frelock and a dark, flickering laboratory.

The future portal in Secondary Storage closes off forever!

Quote from: Frelock on September 06, 2011, 12:00:46 pm

Fantasy: BLOOD FOR THE DEATH GOD!!!

(...) Charging wildly forward with your claymore held over your head, you chop downwardly at the Lizard Man! (...) The Lizard Man again evades your attack, then counters with a bite at your neck! (...) The Lizard Man catches you by surprise, but your armor deflects his powerful jaws! However, the force of the Lizard Man's attack sends you to the ground. He pins you down!

Quote from: dermonster on September 06, 2011, 03:06:58 pm

FW: Heal legs!
Mutie: Assimilate the constrictor!
Rats: Mess up some damned snakes!

(...) Unable to simply heal missing limbs with your limited healing magic, you attempt to summon yourself some new legs! Two new human legs sprout from your abdomen in place of the old ones! ...Both of them are left legs, but you can deal with that later.

(http://i.imgur.com/SoX5P.jpg) "Ahhhhh, much better. My legs are- AAAAGGGGHHH MY FACE"

A snake jumps on your face and clamps down on your nose!
(...) Mutie absorbs the constrictor snake, growing a pair of fangs in the process!
(...) The other constrictor snake, devastated by the loss of his best friend, releases your legs and lunges through the air! It lands on and devours one of the rats! The other runs away in fear and hides in Mutie. The constrictor snake slithers onto your chest and prepares to strike while you struggle with the snake on your nose, and several other snakes continue to surround you!

Quote from: _DivideByZero_ on September 06, 2011, 05:43:35 pm

FW: Spin around in rage slicing anything around me in half after fatally bludgeoning it.

(...) Howling with pure DWARVEN RAGE, you spin around and eviscerate every last one of the Crundles! You then toss your battleaxe, decapitating the remaining Lizard Man and Frelock! Frelock's head rolls across the floor, underneath a nearby table. You pick up the mostly-intact pelt of one of the Crundles, for later crafting. Meanwhile your battleaxe continues to spit in the face of the laws of physics.

Quote from: HighEndNoob on September 06, 2011, 05:48:08 pm

Fantasy:Get-up, and take shots at the crundles around Urist to distract them until the rest of the team arrives.

(...) Just when you're about to take a shot at one of the Crundles, Urist obliterates them all with his axe. Just then, yet another Bat Man comes around the corner into the dining room and swoops toward you! You attempt to take a shot at it, but fumble and drop your gun! Just as it descends upon you, Urist's axe comes hurtling into view and decapitates it cleanly! The battleaxe clatters to the floor next to you, followed by the Bat Man's twitching corpse.

Quote from: monk12 on September 06, 2011, 06:09:25 pm

Fantasy: Kill the Batman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpOuINFDWF4)

(...) Unfortunately, you are not The Man Who Killed Batman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld0uIhst3TA). The Bat Man descends on you, wildly swinging its claws! (...) The Bat Man's claws sink into your chest, tearing apart your flesh and sending you hurtling over the edge! He follows you downward, advancing on you in midair as you plummet toward the dining room below!

Actually if he yells loud enough the body might feel him yelling and stumble/walk towards it. Or he'll make a lot of noise and someone will rescue him. Maybe.

Fantasy: Have my body stumble around for a little bit with my head shouting directions at it in a comical fashion, before eventually reconnecting myself.

(...) Having full control of your body despite it being disconnected from your head allows you to explore the full comedic potential of the situation, and you take the chance to perfect the art of repeatedly bumping into walls, tripping over small objects, and placing the wrong head back on your shoulders (a Crundle's), all while your head exasperatedly yells commands at your body from afar. Eventually you tire of these antics and, after making your way clumsily across the dining room, reattach your head. You make a note to yourself to grow out your flaming lich eyebrows, take up cigar smoking, and become an undead vaudeville sensation.

I spent all of last week and the weekend reading and laughing hard at this, with some displeasure.  Going into laughing fits shortly after having your wisdom teeth ripped HORRIBLY OH MY GODS from your mouth is not conducive to healing or you know, not being in pain.

It was a fun read, though, despite the pain.

Nooo...! It can't end now, I just finished reading! ;_;

FAKEEDIT: This thread is hilarious. I have no idea how you keep up with it all and forge ahead at the same time.

Also, Derm, you are an unholy monster. Spawned from the blackest abyss and dropped into this otherwise comparitively innocent endeavour, specifically to cause chaos, mayhem, pain, loss and confusion. Carry on the good work.

Frelock, you are perhaps the unluckiest sonofa- that ever lived. Sorry about that.

Divide, keep on Dorfin'. You're doing the mountainhome proud... I think.

HEN... never have I seen so much owed by so many to so few a mop.

Monk - I can't decide whether you're an awesome or a terrible MacGuyver. Please advise.

and finally Gatleos... you've got the patience of a saint, the processing power of a mainframe and the twisted imagination of a mad genius. Bravo.

This has so far proven true. Unfortunately, Gatleos also has the scheduling capabilities of a half drowned monkey, which is why updates are sporadic, and occasionally often infrequent.

RW: Get to the labs and gather parts like because my life depends on it.

(...) Choosing to put off examination of the plight of your fictional split personality until later, you step onto the telepad and beam up to the main telechamber. You then run down the hall, mash the M1 button on the elevator control panel, step out into the lab, and begin rummaging through the assorted implements on the table. You soon come across two bottles: one labeled "Xorochemaxiline", the other labeled "Do Not Mix With Xorochemaxiline". You pocket them both.

Quote from: Frelock on October 02, 2011, 01:47:02 am

Meta: Test gun on something non-important looking, and preferably far away

(...) You immediately point the gun at the nearest cryo-tank and pull the trigger! The tank shatters, sending sharp shards of glass flying around the room!

Cool, it's like the Gravity Gu- AAAUUUUGH

• Frederick: (...) You get a face-full of glass! Your face is sliced quite thoroughly.
• Monk: (...) The glass skims past you as you drop to the floor, scraping your back!
• Derek: (...) You quickly duck under the table to avoid the flying glass!

The same disgusting fluid flows out of the shattered tank, and the deformed monstrosity within falls to the floor.

...And then gets back up again.

Quote from: _DivideByZero_ on October 03, 2011, 10:18:14 pm

RW: Yeah... follow someone.

(...) You follow Derm over to the teleporter. Suddenly, you're tackled onto the teleporter and beamed up to the telechamber! Cleanz0r chases you down the hall toward the elevator! You run into the elevator and smash the M1 button, but Cleanz0r gets inside too! He rolls all over you with his treads. The elevator arrives in the laboratory. You hear something made of glass shatter loudly, and then a loud roar!

Quote from: HighEndNoob on October 11, 2011, 06:10:42 pm

Meta: Try to bandage the wound
CLEANZOR: Exact my revenge!

(...) You grab a discarded piece of paper on the floor of the storage room and use it to soak up some blood from your head. It... kinda works.
(...) Cleanz0r tackles John through the teleporter and disappears from sight!

The genetic abomination gets up, shakes off the shards of glass, then roars and leaps onto the table!

From the wikipedia entry about Evil Dead:
Bruce Campbell as Ashley "Ash" Williams: Ash is the last survivor of the group and the main protagonist of the film. Ash is a young man who only wanted to take his friends on a trip into the woods, unaware of what to expect.
From the Quote given for the TvTropes page on Evil Dead:
"The fact is that you can't hold Ash to the same standard that you hold mere mortals to. He is not only just a complete and total badass; He is the standard by which all future badasses will be measured. So if he wants to jump onto a department store trampoline and fire fifteen perfectly-aimed shotgun shells in rapid succession while soaring twenty feet in the air, he can do it. You and I can't; but you and I are also not Ash. And while it may seem impossible for him to do the things that he does and kick as much ass as he is famous for doing, I assure you that it isn't. Why, you ask? Simple. Because he's Ash."

That's who Ash is. As for what he is: A deadite-killing badass Crazy Awesome pseudo-psychotic man with a chainsaw on one arm that may or may not be directly responsible for ending the world, and after that saving the world in the past. You'd like him, Derm.

I think the root of the problem is that I had no idea who ash was.

...Looks like Derm is going to have an unfortunate accident next turn.

That was past tense! PAST TENSE!

Meta: Use gravity gun to pick up all the pieces of glass, and propel them at the abomination's face.

(...) Thinking quickly, you grab the gravity gun and gather the shards of metal and glass on the floor! You then propel them at the abomination! (...) The abomination is hit squarely in the face and tumbles to the floor screeching. It then begins galloping around the room, swiping in a blind rage!

(...) You leap up onto the table and start riffing on your guitar! Unfortunately, you forgot to switch the sonic amplifier on and the noise simply attracts the abomination to you. It tackles you off the table and pins you to the floor!

Magma cannot take heat. Heat can only go from hot objects to cold thus magma only gives heat, but cannot take it away.

Bonus:
Death !FUN!. Magma can give plenty of death !FUN!, but it can't take death !FUN! away. :( :D

SP: My wee peg-leg parasite? Oh he's a darlin'. Stopped sending images of untold insanity from being deprived of all sens'ry info just a short while ago. Been smooth sailin' ever since.
ES: Yes. I know. I made the damned thing by proxy and by guh'fnig I will heal you so hard if you don't get in the damned chatroom.

ES: YOU EAT WITH YOUR BEARD YOU ROYAL PAIN IN THE-
NS: Stop arguing, both of you are idiots! Derm, What the hell is going on? is it the Raws or whatever again? Did you create another goddamn abomination?
ES: No. Worse. Basically speaking, due to shenanigans and a memory like a fucking elephant-
ES: Shut up you memorized it in one go- No I am not jealous why would you - SHUT IT DEREK I AM TALKING
ES: We have ended the world. It will end in some amount of time.
ES: Derek Assures me the time is soon, and had me build these things out of whatever crap I found lying around for the sole purpose of escaping.
NS: Who in any sane mind whould want to rescue you!?
ES: Someone who would get hit with the broadside of a massive temporal feedback loop if I were to be deceased. Then explode violently.
ES: Point is, we need to spread out and set up a bunch of shit so we don't get flattened like pancakes.
AA: Why are we friends with you?
ES: The same reason I don't fry you with lightning. We both have no idea and it's a little confounding why I haven't killed you and you haven't ran like hell.
ES: We done now? Good. So, the escape rout.
ES: Basically, in layman terms, it a game.
AA: Like chess?
ES: Yeah I suppose- Derek why the hell are you laughing so hard- never mind.
ES: So the name of the game is Sburb...

Also someone apparently did a dramatic reading of it but I dunno if they recorded it.

Rest assured, this thing is far from dead. Just a break until I'm done with my turn on Endless RTD.

We haven't even really gotten to the meat of the plot yet, things seem to have been bogged down in the Meta World. I suppose I really underestimated how restrictive it would be, having that part of the game take place in a cramped space ship. I'll have to think of something.

Perhaps the entire ship was merely a simulation in a holodeck of a much larger ship?


Edit: Admittedly I like the idea of the ship crashing on a planet, controlled by whatever it is causing all these problems on the ship.

Exactly, you thought you escaped the holodeck when you did, but it was merely the exit to the holographic holodeck.

Eh too Star Trekky.

You know the beginning of this thread reminded me of the game 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors.

The main characters are kidnapped placed on a ship (albeit different kinds of ships) and forced to play a game (due to exploding leash) under the supervision of a mysterious individual.

What if, a part of the twist ending of 999 applies to the Meta/Adventure?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In 999, the characters were not on a ship at all, but instead inside an almost perfect replica of a ship inside a building.
This would basically apply to RTRTD if they are not really on space ship in outer space, but instead still on Earth in some kind of research lab.

Also what if the holodeck wasn't showing a simulation? What if it was showing something that was actually going on at the present moment somewhere on Earth? The room could be sort of like a solid holographic phone. It generates a solid hologram somewhere and connects the user's mind to the hologram allowing the user to see, hear, and act from the hologram's perspective.

RTRTD turned one year old ten days ago, and nobody has made even a single mention of it in all this time. RTRTD is greatly saddened by this, and deserves an apology from you all.

Geeze, Gatleos. You guilt everyone about forgetting the RTRTD's birthday, but then you choose not to update it. Even though it's been months.
I'm not accepting that it's been one year until you make up for those 3 months of missed turns.  :o

Then again we've been talking about a four man HS RPG for quite some time now and we've got most things as far as I can tell and there's been no word on that so who am I to say what a guy can do with his schedualing.
