>Andrew: Look up a guide/walkthrough/let's play for SUBURB. Might as well understand the mechanics before you really get into it.
[Searching (Mediocre) +2 = Fair] You search the webs for an extensive guide for SUBURB. However, as the game has been out for only days, your searches turn up nothing but unhelpful reviews and lovestick enlargement pills. NOTE: Your
Know-it-all [] aspect could be tagged here at the cost of one FP to get a +2 on this roll or reroll entirely.
>ACHIM: Make an assessment regarding the physical and chemical properties of this... totem... cylinder... vase object. Film yourself with your cellphone in case you can upload this to your youtube channel!
The channels name is "Will It Burn? Yes. Yes, It Will." There is a doggerel about the loveliness of stainless steel in the "about" field. Literally every subscriber(all five of them) has put their profile's background to black.
Nothing of this is of immediate importance.
[Youtube (Mediocre) +0 = Mediocre] The video garners a total of ten "tentative dislikes" which are separate yet indistinguishable from ordinary downvotes. The top comment laments on the oppression of old-style wood stoves in today's stainless steel obsessed society.
[Chemistry (Fair) +3 = SUPERB!] You launch a totally profession chemical and physical examination of the carved Cruxite dowel using nothing but a quadruple-beam balance and a pretend infrared spectrometer. Revealing the mass in milligrams and imaginary energy map of the cruxite dowel leads you to an immense insight on its properties.
The ghostly-green dowel is made of an unknown metal that resembles a theoretical hunk of solid Xenon (Xe). However, being a noble gas, Xenon is very unlikely to be found in solid form at such a high concentrations, and it is very unlikely it would be transparent or ghostly green. The dowel is entirely nonreactive with strong bases, strong acids and even concentrated Flourine ions. Whatever it is, it's unbelievably stable.
Meanwhile, you feel your jewelry glowing in your pocket.
A new symbol is glowing on it right next to the top one. Hey, is it just you or is the blue gemstone getting a little darker?
>Jonathan: See if the last machine thing can't do anything with it.
Putting the dowel in the last machine, the Alchemiter, causes a bright flash on the base of machine to decay into a bright-green, crystalline bird. The bird looks at you, CAWW's loudly and immediately starts flying around the room at a rapid rate.
>Penny: Consider potential pros and cons of looting the tomb.
Hell naw. You just get straight to prying off that lid. Boy do you feel silly for panicking earlier, and ripping open this sarcophogas had damn well make you feel better, or provide you with loot. That's what it always does in games, when there aren't tra-
You almost stop to consider that you're making a mistake.
Prying off the lid reveals an empty tomb with tiny metal spikes on the bottom. Dangit, no sweet loot!
You feel the same ominous, possibly gun-toting presence drawing closer.
Jack: Attempt to fix the stuff you screwed up earlier, especially the plumbing.
[Mechanics (Average) +2 = Good] You attempt to fix the ailing household while Penny explored her weird pyramid. Fortunately, you're able to save the core plumbing system from further destruction. However, her
twelve shattered porcelain toilets are a lost cause. The visitation will be next Sunday, and they will be buried at the Thomas Crapper Memorial Garden.
