No, That’s MY Item!
Initiative:
Zin Geuss: 20
Ziggalig: 17
With a
wild cry and a tug of his
loincloth,
Zin charges recklessly at the zoned-out
Ismok, while the
boar gores him in the back.
[14 v 17]
[2 v 5]
The
boar just barely misses
Ismok in a
glorious charge, but
Zin on the other hand simply
falls on his face in his attempt to lay a beating down on the
prophet.
[Hawk Agility: 6]
It seems like the animals
Zin summoned are, for a lack of better words,
utterly incompetent. When the
hawk swoops down to snatch the
mysterious item, it misses completely and dives into the water.
[Achievement Unlocked: Overachiever]
Raising a single eyebrow,
Ziggalig makes a gesture towards the downed
hawk, a bolt of
divine retribution flaring out from his fingertips.
[Divine Magic: 19+6]
With a squawk, the
hawk is instantly
vaporized, it’s ashes floating out and sinking in the water. (-3MAG)

In A Roguelike, This Would Get You Killed:
Initiative:
Insectomorph: 7
Shae Cliow: 3
Dark Felissan: 2
Abandoning it’s current quest for the
mysterious item,
insectomorph shoots out of the pool and dashes into
Shophalla, releasing several unknown
brain chemicals as it does so. (-4CHA).
It presses it’s
host body on the glass, and upon making eye contact it says,
[Speech: 8 + 8]
“Hey there handsome, I'm a small town girl just trying to find my way around this new place and I've seen to have gotten lost and very... very... wet. God, I hate these damp clothes, I just wish I could take them off and put on something else! You wouldn't have something to spare would you?”
The
teenager’s mouth opens, drooling at this twitching but
extremely attractive female.
“I have just the thing!”
He quickly disappears underneath the counter before picking up one of the pieces of parchment, and a pen.
“Clothing voucher No. 5, ma’am! Just sign on this line right here, and money will be automatically deducted from your person in exchange for an item befitting your class and affluence!”
Meanwhile,
Shae Cliow tries another approach in that most noble of endeavors, getting free stuff. (-2MAG)
[Psychic Magic: 3]
With a horrible shock, Shae realizes that everything in this store costs double the price, and it’s only free once you buy it! Oh the humani… oh wait,
mental backlash. He’s going to feel that in the morning.
[Achievement Unlocked: Mistakes Were Made]
After observing his associates attempting to force their way into getting free stuff, Dark Felissan simply walks up to the counter and asks for what items are for sale.
“You see sir, we sell class vouchers here. You choose what kind of item you want, you sign a piece of paper, money is removed from your person, and you get an item. We have clothing vouchers, item vouchers, ability vouchers, passive vouchers, and this voucher which I’m not quite sure what it does, Achievement Voucher No. 45.
If you don’t have any money you can use that machine over there to turn your items into cash.”

Enter the Dungeon:
After growing a
few new eyes,
Roboson trails corruption into the northern hallway, before stopping to read the sign which says
“DUNGEON”
Upon entering said dungeon,
Roboson bubbles at the
branching paths available.
[Achievement Unlocked: Dungeon Crawler]
Society of Lemons:
Ismok and
John Johnson do nothing. How boring.
