Try to tame it. In my current prone position.

You prostrate yourself on the floor before the WorldEater.

[13] He decides he is hungry. [56] He gives you a quest: FIND ONE TON OF FOOD BEFORE FIVE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMS!

*facepalm*. Wear the +nylon panty stockings+ (My character is female, you know!...At least now she is. These things should help with seduction rolls, eh?), and explore the room with my two pets! (Carefully.)

Maybe if you create of look

[76] You step on a slab of stone that depresses, making a grinding sound of grinding stone! You cringe inwardly, hoping it wasn't a arrow trap or something.

And... the lights come on!

You see the above creature!

Three slots, huh?


Name:  Toaster McTank
Let's head EAST!

[69] You open the door, and stumble into one woman with a cat and a slime, with one standing in the middle of the room! Krag looks shocked!

Headbutt it in the head with my head. Continue battle by beating joints and bashing it with its own bow.

[12] You lose your grasp on the bow!
[24] You miss the skeleton!
[49] You crack the skeleton's knee!

I...Trust Slime. I'll swim across the lava...to where the door is.

You jump in the lava!

[87] Thankfully, you know how to swim. It seems the lava really isn't lava but just warm syrup.

[90] You make your way to the door.

[75] You open it!
Room cleared!

Gift  : [5] Something pricey [72] You obtain one Gold Bar!

[69] The next room is again, pitch black.

Lasa started to cast a ice spell. With her wand high, she traced a circle with the tip of it. Above her head, thin plates of ice froze from the air and started adhering to each other, in a elongated needle shape.

With a flash of light the red spheres that circled him vanished as several firebolts hurtled towards the skeletons. He stepped forward as the bolts fired.

Or rather, the whole glob of firebolt separated into five, then crashed into the first skeleton he targeted. It dealt 140 damage and knocked the skeleton onto the ground. The ribcage and spine were blewn out, making the skeleton unable to move. Zario quickly dashed back in to the relative safety of the bear traps. The sound was rather distinctive, and the succubus and her guard all turned towards Zario. Noticing them, she ordered in a rather normal voice, "Bows!" Her voice wasn't all breathy, nor was it the Voice of the Legions, but just a normal 19 year-ish girl's voice.

Three of the remaining skeletons all drew their bows in one motion.

Attack the Succubus. Pray to Morrigan for the power to defeat my foe.

Alex charged after Zario. When Zario turned halfway through, he skidded to a stop and watched as Zario brushed past him. What he didn't see was the three bows aimed at him. Three arrows tipped with the same metal as their owners arched at Alex. The first one pierced his left arm, dealing 66 damage and flinging him way back into a bear trap. His other arm was unfortunately caught in it. Raynold observed that it was a Magnum shot, the equivalent of Smash for the bow. Beware of its powerful knockback, he mumbled. The second and third arrows clattered to the floor, and would not have found their target anyways.

Across the room, the succubus chuckled in delight. She started slowly walking towards them, placing one leather boot-clad foot before another, like a wolf.

Meanwhile, the six trolls started converging on the party. They flung everything they were holding at them. Metal, rock and other various materials hurtled through the air, but were stopped by the oval, sparks flying as they bounced off or were disintegrated. The black metal was intact.

Raynold lifted his sword into a vertical stance and waited for two of the trolls to come within his considerable reach.

Tactical map:


Right now, Alexander has 6 HP and some 52 wounds.
Lasa is casting a spell.
Donitz is playing a magical song.
Zario is waiting for the enemy to come.
Griph is waiting for the enemy to come.
Thrainn is waiting for the enemy to come.
Raynold is waiting for the enemy to come.

This post is about the profit stolen argument.

Posters before me have asserted that piracy steals publishers of their profit, therfore it is theft. The thing is, it is possible profit lost, not real profit. A direct metaphor is you, deciding whether or not to buy one fine specimen of cantaloupe. You decided to buy it, when your friend dashes up and persuades you not to. The grocery store just lost some possible profit thanks to you meddling friend. Can it sue him?

Possiblity is not actuality. Perhaps some of the issue is that the publisher feels indignent that you are playing their games without paying up for it. Consider: how good was that game? You didn't pay; meaning you felt the company was not deserving of your money in one way or another.

Think about this too: even with the claims of losses of millions each year, last time I heard the major publishers are rolling along mighty fine. Think of it as greed. Greed for another couple million, when the coffers have manyfold more.

The "loss" that publishers report may actually be a sort of unearned income the companies want.

I agree with one poster(Was it Glyph?) that said companies must improve before complaining about pirates. Give customers something pirates can't have. One example is Minecraft. It is a laughably easy game to pirate: just copy the files of a client that was logged in even once and you're set to go. Yet, it has many millions of dollars. Coincidence?

Try and locate a way off of the junction, preferably without becoming toasted. Ask my pets if they know what I should do!

The whole junction is surrounded by a 3 meter wide sea of lava. Or magma, if you're underground.

[54] Fluffertums knows nothing!
[75] Electric slime has KNOWLEDGE! [32] Again, he fails to dispense it.


The Calvinball topic on the main Rp thread is hilarious.

Use Indomitable Strength to send all of the beasts flying.

Well, I'm pretty sure your major bones were crushed in the aforementioned gravity-ness...
