[inteuniso]

Wow. Definitely need to learn the word upstairs. That's sad.

Follow Sensei.

[Schilcote]

Just waiting for Sensei.

EDIT:

Random.org seems to be throwing up a lot of 6s...

[Sensei]

Don't you have a dice in your house?

Anyway, I've got to think this through. I'd rather the huge tau go in front, but he might suddenly forget how to kill or something. I should really think this out before I get my killin' goggles on though. Hm... not yet. Open the trap door.

...oh, and become acquainted with my fellowmen.

[Schilcote]

No, I don't. Besides, overshoots are some of the most fun parts of an RTD!

Opening doors is a free action, so I'll add-sume "and go down".

What the heck is happening to my thread? Is this some sort of weird forum glitch? It keeps getting locked, is someone playing a prank?

I'll do the turn in a minute...

EDIT:

It did it again while I was writing the turn!

Exkirby: 5

You switch your pistol ammo out again, in a very badass manner. You're starting to get kind of good at it... (dabbling firearm-intimidator, +1 to intimidating with firearm-type weapon)
Everyone follows you down into the cellar.

tehstefan: 1 (the who? On a hunch, I'm going to guess Frelock, not that it matters. How do you make asking a question backfire?)

You ask about the skinny nerd guy, but noone seems to hear you. You then stub your toe on the way down the stairs.

Frelock: 6 (stupid overshoots on mundane actions...)

With lightning speed, you race back to the white house! You smash through the window, grabbing the lunch sack and water bottle in midair, then springboard off the ceiling of the living room and into the cellar next to Kyrby, landing perfectly. Awesome.

inteuniso: 5

On the way down, your elfin sword begins to glow a faint blue.

Sensei: Open the trap door (and climb in, I suppose).

Following the red-capped man's lead, you climb down into the cellar, turning on your grue-repelling lamp.

Statuses:

Frelock: Wristwatch, computer terminal, glasses, civilian clothes, pamphlet, a jewel-encrusted egg, a bag which contains a lunch and a clove of garlic, and a bottle of water. In the Cellar.

Inteuniso: Tau armor, pulse rifle, elfin sword (glowing light blue). In the Cellar.

Tehstefan: .44 Magnum, Fedora (and nothing else? ). In the Cellar.

ExKirby: Red Helmet, Red Army Gear, Combat Knife, .9mm Pistol, StA52 Assault Rifle, Meaningless Commander's Badge. In the Cellar.

Sensei: Knife, suitcase O' spectacles, electric brass lantern, two lengths of rope. In the Cellar.

[Sensei]

A logical overshoot would be for him to break the egg.

I will allow other people to do dangerous things, while I ponder chess. Provide light if necessary.

[Schilcote]

A logical overshoot would be for him to break the egg.

Perhaps. He did smash something anyway, it's just that it's something that won't matter very much. I would have him crack his femur, but like I said before, I'm going to hold off on injuring the party until either someone learns healing (I suggest Frelock) or a certain event happens (and from now on, every turn there's a very good chance that it's going to happen that turn). If you don't have a way to heal by that time, I doubt the party will make it through without casualties.

[inteuniso]

Look around in the cellar.

[tehstefan]

Of course I'm wearing stuff. I'm just remarking that my fedora is special!

I stick close to the guy with the lamp, while keeping my magnum at the ready. Oh, and checking to make sure its loaded.

[Schilcote]

I see no one noticed my error in the status listing...

[Frelock]

A healing hacker, eh?  I suppose I could try.  What's the worst that can happen?

Use the computer terminal, and, via typing rapidly, hack into the game code, de-compile it, find the level-design section of the code, add a convenient chest just out of sight containing a backpack filled with a variety of medical supplies, doing it in such a way as to not break save-compatibility, then re-upload the game code and reboot.  Then look under my foot to see what I smashed.

You know what happens if you roll a 1 on that, right?

1. You fail to restart the universe. Oops. Well, I guess you did get rid of your enemy.

Your hacking mainly changes the properties of and creates objects. To heal someone, you'd probably just create a chunk of flesh, bone, organ, and skin and then integrate it with the person you're healing. I think I'll treat object synthesis, modification, and healing/repair as different skills.

Also, there's no "level design section of the code". The simulation is a perfect (but mutable) simulation of physics. Basically, instead of simulating objects and characters, it simulates the most basic physical laws knowable. Everything above that level comes about as a result. What you do when you "hack" the universe is create either matter or energy to your exact specifications. By doing that, you can control the more complex properties of things.

[qwertyuiopas]

Have a waiting list?

If so,

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Race: Plain Human
Ability: A self-taught education in C, mostly from the "university" of "google search"
Equiptment: Glasses that can alter the light passing through(add more, dim some) in the four main colours (RGBA) to give an emulation of a computer screen, plus since there are two lenses, it can do fake 3D as well. Usually used to put a virtual compter screen about 1 metre in front of the wearer. Additionally, a full sized keyboard and mouse on a belt(can be removed to use, otherwise it hangs at the side, somewhat like a gun)

Description:
At one point in his past, while coding, a near-segfault caused by a corrupted pointer escaped the test object he was working on. Before it was terminated by the simulation, it passed through him. Now he looks like a swirling mass of green symbols, with the occasional
int main()
or
void a(void (*b)()){
passing by, surrounding an unearthly dark interior, so dim that even in the best lighting, it is nearly opaque at the thinner points, and unseeably dark everywhere else. Effects of it: faintly transparent, though barely so. Slight source of light.

[Schilcote]

I'll add new players as soon as we go to another area. Remember that event I said would happen and if you don't get healing skills by that time there's a good chance someone's going to die? Right after that we go to another area.

EDIT:Waiting for ExKirby's action.

DF2010 is making my computer shoot flames. I'm serious, I've never seen a machine get this hot.

[Frelock]

Hmm, an interesting explanation.

Hack together a cadaver to practice medicine on.

[Schilcote]

Abeo must be smiling on you guys at the moment or something. ALL 5s and6s. ALL. Not one roll below 5.

EDIT:

Spoiler: actions (click to show/hide)

ExKirby(GM'd): I attempt reconnaissance.:5

Sensei:6

Allowing other pepole to attempt their not actually that dangerous schemes, you contemplate chess. Deeply. Perhaps too deeply, you're asleep! A voice echos inside your head, loud and jovial, like Santa Claus. "Chess you say, mortal? The game of kings! Fancy a game with old Risus? Being a god gets boring after a while..." Even with the proper spectacles equipped (at least you think they were the right ones...), the computer god of games beats you handily, but you still have fun, and learn some Chess Tactics along the way. "As for providing light..." the voice echos... You open your eyes to see that you are Glowing. Woah.

inteuniso: 5 (exposition exposition!)

"Hey Vas, could you shine that woah what the f**k". Vas now casting ample light for exploration, you search the area thoroughly. You find a brick, a metal ramp that's far to steep to climb, some shattered glass shards that Frelock must've taken with him going through the window, and a piece of paper labeled ZORK owner's manual. You see the exact text you expected to see, but on the back... the text is mostly illegible but at the bottom of the paper the words "HE WAITS" are larger than the rest and clearly legible. The text appears to be written in blood. Woah.

Frelock: 6

You mentally prepare yourself for your task, and start up your compiler and reality hacker. A voice echos inside your mind, an odd, mechanical sounding one. The voice seems to have some trouble arranging it's syllables properly. "A bit of... re-al-i-ty hacking? Ha. Ha. Ha. Let Cer-tusss... help (heh) you with... thhh...at..." Suddenly, you feel a strange euphoria! You look at the space around you, and then at your holographic screens. Everything becomes clear, and you set to work, cleanly decapitating and dismembering a seedy-looking individual with a bag and bad intentions and floating the components to your proximity. You put the man back together flawlessly, then rip him apart again into ever smaller pieces until you've disassembled him organ by organ. Still not satisfied, you then resolve to create some of the organs from scratch. After doing this, you begin to think of ways you could change the being... a little extra carbon bond here, perhaps a slightly faster metabolism?
An extra bone, an extra limb... soon you have nothing but an amorphous blob of organic material in front of you, and Proficient-level synthesis, modification, and healing/repair. Woah.

tehstefan: 5

The guy with the lamp isn't doing much... and now he's started glowing. Still not doing much that's interesting though. Instead, you check your gun for ammunition and follow the man in red for a while. He peers cautiously around the doorway to the room to the north of the room where Vas is, and motions for you to look... woah...

ExKirby(GM'd): 5

You decide to go on a little recon mission. The sharpshooter joins you. You find an extremely deep chasm to the south, as well as a small art gallery with a large, beautiful painting. You head back to the main cellar and peer around the doorway to the room to the north... woah...
