You just had to buy a boar or two to get over the edge. By the way, I tend to resolve all actions at the same time, but aggressive ones take priority, because they tend to decide how later rolls go. Keep this in mind. There will probably be some actions that don't seem to have rolls assigned, but I assure you, I rolled for everything, even if I didn't put it in the post.
zomara0292:
You start yelling at your boars. It doesn't quite inspire as much fear as you would like, but it still seems to work. +1 tile. You notice someone with a bunch of boars start to speed past you, and do your best to block their path, since you aren't quite close enough to the skelk to actively push someone in.
All that does is allow one of their boars to attempt to maul one of yours along the way. Yours cleverly moves out of the way. +1 tile!
Tiruin:
| You drive normally. And by normally, we mean upside-down. It seems to be working out all right though. I mean, you don't need to steer too badly right now. Might wanna fix that soon though. +1 tile!
Caerwyn: The time for buying is over for now.
The boars charge off the starting line in a rage! Temporary speed boost. But wait, the skeletal elk!
It's too late to choose a new path Your boars try and push though, but fail! They are quickly overwhelmed from all sides. They take out a few, but it'll take a bit to clear the rest. You probably won't be able to drive for a bit, unless you can get the elk off your engines mind. +2 tiles!
antlion12:
| You carefully proceed. The cash is in sight! You reach for it
but start falling out of the car! One of your loyal henchdwarves quickly notices, and pulls you back on. Luckily for you, your second henchdwarf managed to grab 200 dorfbucks from the pile!
Your cats produce a single kitten. +1 tile!
wolfchild:
You barely manage to get your insane dwarves pumping. You proceed 1 tile. | Stalin decides launching himself out of the slingshot would be a great idea, but you convince him otherwise. You manage to grab 250 dorfbucks from the pile. +1 tile!
HmH:
You start moving without incident. | A thing that someone very, very drunk might call a lasso, forms in your hands gradually. +1 terrible lasso. You order Etur to construct.... The ball trap! *Dramatic chord*
"Alright then, it'll take a bit." +1 tile!
