Overall a good turn for the players. I wonder how long we'll be able to do 1 turn a day for.
Throw the box-with-snake backwards towards the orc robot, to get it out of range of Dengue, run forward and slide-kick Jonathan if I reach him.
|You throw the box with the snake in it back 10m, thus causing Emperor to become sad and more error prone.
|You try to get up to a run again.
|It was more difficult this time, but you still managed to succced. You run to the 200m mark where Emp is currently.
|Just as you are about to slide-kick Emperor, a smoke bomb goes off! When the smoke clears, you see that a modern-looking treasure chest has appeared near your feet.
| You open it, and find a beam sword inside! It gives you +2 damage when it is used to attack.
I quickly resort to slowing everyone up by using my epic voice and singing a ballad to try and get everyone asleep.
You use your guitar and your lovely voice to attempt to make Katsuun fall asleep.
|It’s really quite a lullaby,
|and Aussie soon loses his murderous rage and falls asleep. It looks like he’ll be out for awhile.(2 turns)
i attack katsun agin while he's dizzy
You have fallen into a deep sleep.
|You are chased by wolves made of pure fire in your nightmares. It’s so scary, you can’t tell that it’s actually a dream.
I set off for the Finnish line (misspelling is on porpoise), and command my robot to go on ahead and attack anyone (except me) that it meets.
|You feel so good after your successful reprogram, you stroll ahead in a merry fashion. You got to the 90m mark.
I try to figure out how to use the green orb, and what it does.
|You look at the orb and scratch your head. Suddenly a voice booms in your head; “So, I bet you want to know what that does, huh?” You are scared by the voice for a second, and then you remember that someone from the show put a earphone on you before the race, as they did for the other contestants. The voice continues; “That thing right there is what is known as a skill sphere. When you break it on the ground, some sort of highly complex tech thing happens, and knowledge about performing a skill just pops into your head. Why don’t you give it a chuck, and see what happens?” (Breaking the sphere is a free action).
Orc Bot:At 180m. A servant of Shoruke. Has a axe which gives +1 to damage rolls, and has innate +1 to accuracy rolls. Programmable by nobody but Shoruke. Holding a ugly cape.
The orc bot is sad that Shoruke didn’t take it’s homemade cape, but it still follows his orders and runs ahead.
|It was well built, and it soon gets up to a decent speed. Just as it almost caught the unaware Siquo at 180m, a
| huge hammer comes swinging out of the wall!
|The orc is hit in the head!
|The head is made of high-tech metal though, and it hardly gets a dent from the hammer.

I suppose that last challenge was a bit too easy, seeing as how the answer is right on the wikipedia page. So, the challenge is time around is a bit more difficult. The bonus is +2 to attempting to figuring out puzzles, or what exactly something does. So:
Where does Bay 12 Games receive it's name from?
The second person to post the answer will receive the bonus!
