One turn a week. *sigh* Let it be a consolation to you that I'm not suffering any less than you do.
------------
Turn 9 ------------
Players: I rearrange my rags to look more merchanty-like. If anything dye-like is around, I'll recolour my robes.
I will drop the meat into the casket and perform abdominal thrusts on Org with my now free hand.
Chew and swallow, chew and swallow.
Bang Org on the back. Keep torch ready for human sacrifice, just in case.
------------
Cheeetar: Rewardrobize:{9/14}
Nirur Torir: Abdominally thrust:{18/17}, Org(an) damage:{19}
Org: Chew:{6-2/10}, Swallow:{1-2/1}
Errol: Bang Bang!:{1/19}, Org damage:{12}
----------------
In panic, Org desperately tries to force the goddamn featherball into his stomach, but the bird resists! Errol tries to help and whacks Org on the back with his torches! The torches withstand the onslaught, as does Org's back, but he is more hurt then healed. Suddenly, Nirur runs up and grabs Org from behind! Mishearing something about "thrusts", Org desperately tries to wriggle away, but it's no use, Nirur has him locked! One, two, THREE! Ew... Nirur should consider a career in first aid, because his masterfully performed abdominal thrust has finally freed him from the obstruction in his throat. Or maybe not, because it also freed him of the contents of his stomach. Org is very nauseous and still finds breathing painful, but his life is out of danger. For now at least. Seing Org get turned inside out like that almost makes Errol and Nirur add to the unhealthy-looking puddle among the grass (with a dead-looking bird in the middle, no less), but they hold it in.
Meanwhile, completely oblivious of the others' titanic efforts to save Org, Cheeetar fiddles with his costume. Making rough cuts with the dagger and tying up strips of cloth into belts, he arranges his rags in such a way that they resemble something, if not respectable, but at least passable for a wandering merchant's robes. A few baubles from the casket finish the job, and Cheeetar now could, if he so wanted, peddle his stuff from a street without attracting unfriendly eyes. At least he'd like to hope he could.
