Turn 3
Mcclay heads to the arean entrance and chills out for a while.
You chill.
Jonny smiles. ''Thanks. I will try and get 5 rounds done before you get 7!'' And with that, they parted. Jonny, a little unsure what to do now, decides to sit and wait.
(PS: I don't want to overly abuse the mini-turns system, just because I'm more active (granted, I realise there is also a risk, but) so I'll wait until atleast another turn has passed.)
You sit down next to Mcclay. You speak not a word, but there seems to be a commotion going through the crowd of people around the padoga's.
Good, good. They really do make things more fun, to be honest. And if fights are solo against npc's, no reason to not scale enemies up to match stronger players, and let weaker ones fight more simple enemies.
Do I get moar mini-turns? I'd really like to Explore the arena. I know there's a map, but I want to search every single nook and cranny. Either that, or sort through my garbage dump of junk.
[4] You search around through the arena, but you don't seem to find much. However, you do get the general gist of what the three padoga's sell. The 1st padoga sells creature comforts, such as a bed or a mirror. The second padoga sells rather stylish clothes. The third padoga sells very delicious smelling food, of whatever style you can think of. [5] You notice a large space where there seems to be space for another padoga, but you cannot see anything. Someone is starting to speak in the middle of the Foyer, and it distracts you.
"Huh. A beautiful creature," Krokus muttered to himself.
Normally, he wouldn't harm such an animal... But this was a dream, and it was in his way.
He tightened his grip on the machete, grinned savagely and ran quietly foward.
>Leap on the sleeping tiger and hack it to pieces! Then go... Left.
((Just a note, if Krokus wouldn't usually harm such a creature, then he could have sneaked around it, lured it with bait into a non lethal trap, or something like that. These challenges are not always brute force solutions, and sometimes brute force could be next to impossible for someone of your level.))
| You leap at the creature, taking it by complete surprise (+1 to damage)
| You stab it next to it's left shoulder blade. You miss the heart, but you do rip apart it's lungs. However, now the beast is awake, and ready to attack, although you have weakened it.
Gladly accept offer.
You accept Jag'Ell's offer quite graciously, and he teaches you a few tricks. After you finish your little session, there appears to be someone speaking.
+1 to Edged Weapons.
There is a great crowd gathered around a beast that looks like Reno, except he is green. He speaks:
"Settle down, everyone. Settle down. Now, I know you're all anxious from not being able to fight, but fret not! We have completed repairs, and combatants may enter and compete in the arena at any time they wish!" (You can now join the arena without waiting for Yoink to finish.)
There was much rejoicing.
Enemy NPC'sTiger: It pulls away from you, and starts to circle you, although it looks fairly pained.
Stabbed Left Lung: Extreme breathing difficulty(-1 to all rolls), has to roll to not choke on blood (previous modifier does not affect this roll).

Name: Krokus del Gatoro
Age: 57
Sex: Male
Physical Description: A tall, broad-shouldered old man clad gator and crocodile hides, weatherbeaten and looking as though he'd spent the last fifteen years living in the bush, beating down large carnivorous reptiles with a machete. Which, infact, he has. He has long, ash-grey hair, a fierce hawk nose and scars criss-crossing most of his body. Has a big crease in the middle of his forhead, which stands out amongst all his other wrinkles.
Personality: Pretty goddamn crazy. Quiet most of the time, the traumatic events which drove him into hiding in the wilderness all those years ago also drove him quite mad. He has a good heart still, deep down, but his sense of morals in rather skewed.
His name is simply what the (rather frightened) locals started calling him when they saw him. His real name is, or was, Allen Keyes.
He's not quite as knowledgable as he once was. Living alone for so long has dulled his thinking a little.
