For almost the first time ever, no two players are in the same place. That's of course because of the action Siquo posted Emperor to do.
I ninja jump forward as far as I can.
|For some reason, this time when you ninja jump, you get tired really quickly, and you stop after only 10m. You are now at 280m. You are also tired.
Okay I fly/charge into the robot.
You charge straight at the zombie bot!
|While you were running though, you tripped, and flew headfirst into a wall!
| |Ker-Smash!!! Your head goes straight through the wooden wall, but somehow it’s not injured very much, it’s only bleeding a little. You are stuck in the wall by your head now.
I use my engineering logic to wake up.
I ask them:
"If this is a world of pure darkness, how can I even see you? Darkness and blackness implies that all photons are absorbed by every surface, which in turn would cause intense overheating, and I'd only be able to see your black-body-radiation at degrees of 1000 kelvin or higher. I can only come to the conclusion that you guys must be melting to death from all that heat."
If that does not work? Run.
|You explain to the three monsters that they should be melting into nothingness right now, and they believe you. They quickly melt like ice cream cones into three black puddles. Suddenly, everything around you starts melting away, the trees, the road, and even the clouds in the sky. You start drowning in all the black goo, and you close your eyes. When you open your eyes again you find that you’re back in the hallway, and you realize that it was all a dream. Just as you are thinking about the dream, a blast of fever hits you again!
|Your bodies defences were ready, and they unleash a hailstorm of arrows upon the invaders. The invaders are all killed, and you are cured of your fever.
Emperor wakes Siquo up, using his fireworks if he has to. Then he continues running, but in the wrong direction.
|Emperor’s side wound heals up completely at last. Emperor was about to shake Siquo awake when Siquo woke himself up. Emperor then realizes that just one awesome sword isn’t enough, so he sets off to find the sword barrel again.
|After only a bit of walking, he realized that he was already holding too much stuff already. Emperor is now at 390m.
While I'm in the hospital, I look around around for spare parts/tools that I might eventually be able to use to fix that Globe-bot.
You wander around the clinic, and look for things that could help you repair the globebot.
|You somehow found a backpack full of tools of all sorts!
|Since you’re not a thief, you ask the staff if you can take it, and they tell you that you can, since they really have no use for it.
WaspSwarm: At 200m. Loyal to Aussie. Intelligent(+1 to thinking what to do rolls). The swarm gets two attacks per turn, but gets -1 accuracy with the second attack. Speedy(+1 to movement rolls). The swarm has been resurrected from the dead.
|The
wasps are hit by a wave of memories about their old nest, so they decide to go and find the old nest, and repair it.
|Even though the
wasps are pretty fast, they only managed to fly to 170m, they’re still 20m away from the broken nest.
Robotic Zombie: In a small room above 270m. Using a grabbing attack, and gets +2 accuracy if it has a hold on an enemy. Causes plague rolls with successful bite attacks. Holding onto Aussie tightly(-1 to escaping)
He grabs at the vulnerable Aussie again!
|He grabs Aussie’s chest from behind, and holds on tightly. He’s preparing to take a bite again.
Killer Earth Robot: At 400m. Currently shut down. A slave of Shoruke. Possesses superior programming, of some kind, as well as a extremely smashed face.
Now that Shoruke has some nice tools, maybe he can be repaired.
---:
|Clinic Staff: In the clinic.
The staff take Shoruke in for his operation, and use the high-tech rib healing technology on him.
|Somehow, there was a random power failure just as they were about to use the machine. The staff will have to wait until next turn to finish the operation.
