((Facepalm. My intelligence roll had pointed out that the ceiling had high chances of just allowing passage. Jesus.))
Milno was not used to viscera on him.
"Anyone wanting to kick the crap of Ivan right now, please raise your arms."
Milno raises his right arm with an annoyed look plastered across his face.
"Did you want to kill one of us? Jim is even worse at the moment and it is your fault!"
He started to get angry. No, he started to get mad while wiping his suit clean of Jim's innards.
Go to the platform and move the cube upwards as Ivan did the last time to get it moving.
((I can see that if my seventeen-year-old character manages to survive all of this he'll probably have gone insane and/or he'll have a broken young mind. Seriously, I wanted to play a fairly common guy, even a bit cowardly. Edit: And MILNO WAS RIGHT when he said Jim was probably safer outside.))
You restrain yourself from giving Ivan a good kick in the ribs and hop up on the platform. The cube shifts easily in your hand and the platform begins to rise.
Do we need an intuition roll to interpret the carvings?
Also, can't wait for Jim to wake up.
"Oh man, why am I so...?"
"We had to conduct extensive surgery to replace your damaged parts."
"That's right, I lost my lower half in that... wait, why is my arm robotic? What's this metal thing in the middle of my chest? One of my eyes is some kind of robotic camera now, when the hell did that happen?!"
"...60% of your current injuries might or might not have occurred well after death."
If intuition roll is needed, make one. Otherwise, hop onto platform and gently lift cube.
>>The rolls are in this case just a way to explain a potentially confusing picture to a player. If you get it, you don't need to do the roll. Doing the roll also has the consequence that it may make your character drastically misinterpret what was shown. Since you seem to get it though, we won't bother.
You jog out from the adjoining rooms and hop on the slowly rising platform, ignoring the groaning lump that is Ivan.
((I get back and this happens O_O
Ivan. You b-...
You big bully!))
"J-Jim...A-are you OK?" Feyri looked at the poor man's body. Her friend didn't seem that talkative, being the stoic one but this was just going too far!
Tensions were getting higher and the one thing Feyri knew about tension as a mercenary was it was no good at all.
Especially underground where tension could actually be felt. She hoped there were no rooms filled with more automatons.
((Feyri is a female. Don't you forget it!))
"Stop bickering y-you two! Morale is the last thing we want lost!" she said as she hopped onto the platform.
Give a painkiller that Milno generously handed to me to the most wounded person that needs it.
In this case, Jim. If nobody else needs it.
You grab whats left of jim and cradle the quickly vanishing mass of ruined organs in your arms as the platform ascends.
>Feyri, Faith, Milno.
As the platform rises you cringe unconciously away from the ceiling before slipping through the surface without a hint of resistance. The platform continues to rise a few inches above the ground on the next floor and then stops. The cube descends slightly and then comes to a rest as well. The room here is small, just big enough to hold the platform, and has 4 adjoining halls, each going off in one of the main compass directions.
