No, they have hands and claws. Think of it sorta like really long, strong nails. Sorta like Wolverine, but without the silly costumes.

They still have fingers and hands, so Trolls can still hold weapons/pick locks/do other stuffs, but they just also have very rapidly growing claw-nail things. I'm talking about growing an inch a day, though it tapers off when they reach four or so inches.

I didn't add it because it seemed too overpowered, but Trolls DO have extreme regeneration abilities. They can heal lost arms, legs, heads...Only thing that will stop the regeneration of a certain part is fire.

[Greenstarfanatic]

I remember ALL trolls having a vulnerability to Fire in Skyrim, as well as having claws, so that works out well.

[TopHat]

*does not name character* ((seriously, just call him Shirley if you absolutely have to have a name))
Laugh at the pushing and shoving idiots. Work out how long we have until the storm gets here.

[Onyxjew944]

Turn Three

Josh

Climb down the ladder and get away before somebody falls on me.

{6} You stand up and rush over to the ladder. You launch down the ladder at great speed! With a three meter drop still remaining you lose your grip on the ladder. You fall down to the ground. Roll agility to determine fall damage {2+1=3} You land with enough grace to dissipate the fall. The damage to your knees worsen from absorbing the impact.

Grek

Grab box. Open it.

{2} You stand up and walk over to the box. You pick up the box but fumble with the handle. You do not open it this turn.

Bork

Push box off ledge onto Josh. Follow down the ladder.

{4} You try and fail to grab the box out of Grek's hands. Grek is too strong. You start climbing down the ladder.

Blenk

Blenk will start a fire expertly with his trollish shaman magic. Wait, you didn't know he was a wizzurd? I must have forgot the hat. Hm.

{2} Blenk fails to start a fire.

Unknown Human

Laugh at the pushing and shoving idiots. Work out how long we have until the storm gets here.

{4} Unknown Human points and laughs at the injured creatures falling and fighting around him. Unknown Human through a basic knowledge of meteorology and common sense, figures out that the storm will arrive within the next few minutes. (one turn)

{4} A.I. Ynot

Ynot Slithers down the ladder.

{6} Ynot curls his body around the ladder and slithers down the ladder at great speed. Ynot constricts the ladder on the way down with his Eel muscles and crushes it slightly. Ynot gets to the bottom of the ladder safely.

Spot/Listen Check:
{6} The storm is growing closer. The light on the box suddenly turns green! The box opens, inside is a medium sized gray-ish button. The incoming storm winds start to rock the platform. The ladder is now slightly harder to climb down due to Ynot being overzealous. -1 to future rolls involving the ladder.

-~-~-

Bork tried to wrestle a dragon so he could throw a heavy box down a fair distance on another player. Genius move on that one.

All party members suffering from Weakening Cold will get a -1 to strength rolls.
Remember: Slicing wind is uncomfortable. Slicing wind and being soaked by already cold high-altitude rain is dangerous.
Alright, something new I just realized. Everyone needs to pick a language that they know. The librarian gets to pick a total of two because that sort of comes with the job.
Also, the Eel and the Half-Dragon are not affected by the cold, because I just now remember they are reptiles. Which are cold-blooded. Meaning it would need to be cold enough to start crystalizing their blood or damaging them directly to actually affect them.
I would also like for everyone to list a gender. If you don't your character is male. Or Asexual in the case of that Eel thing. I still don't really understand it....

Because you all dying of fatal tripping and cold is going to be very anti-climatic. No matter what happens, in two turns you all will leave the platform. One way or another.
"another" will probably not end well. (Just don't jump off. No one has the skills or agility for that, well. Except Grek. He does have wings.)

By the way, until Turn Ten, you all have failguard against fatal mistakes. So feel free to test the limits of your skills to see what would be considered fatal.

And acid.

Anyhoo, open box. Try to find flammable materials.

[Onyxjew944]

The light on the box suddenly turns green! The box opens, inside is a medium sized gray-ish button.

The box is already open.

[Tylui]

Name: Valentine Michael Smith

Ancestry: Human

Origin: Mars

"Smith is an intelligent creature with the ancestry of a man, but he is more Martian than man. Until we came along he had never laid eyes on a man. He thinks like a Martian, feels like a Martian. He's been brought up by a race which has NOTHING in common with us- they don't even have SEX. He's a man by ancestry, a Martian by environment..."

Thinking in Martian lends special abilities to even humans, such as telepathy, telekinesis, and sending people/objects to nowhere(making them not exist basically). Also astral projection. Other minor abilities include requiring little to no sleep, resistance to temperature, eating in huge quantities to stay full for long periods of time by consciously regulating all bodily functions.

((Obviously he doesn't have to start this powerful, but yeah I just finished the book and thought it would a be neat character for an RTD))

Bring the box to me; press the button.

[Onyxjew944]

Alright, you're in. Remember, if you want the box. You're going to have to get it from a dragon. Not particularly easy. Actually, impossible because the dragon is currently working on it. You might want to do something else with your turn. Your abilities are there, but you need to work to fully realize and use them. In other words, at the moment you can use telepathy at distances up to 10 meters. The other abilities need either a library/books or meditation to develop. Does that sound about right?

[Tylui]

Sounds perfect, especially the meditation part.

I'll change my action then! Practice light telekinesis on the ladder by bracing it while I climb down

Also my language is Martian. And at the moment I can only telepath in Martian until I learn a new language.

>Cast thunder, for the hell of it

[Caerwyn]

Blenk knows Common (More or less English) and a guttural strain of Orcish/Goblin/Troll. (Troll's don't really HAVE a language of their own, they just borrow from orcs, and orcs tend to borrow from goblins, so...)

Blenk will try and cast a spell on himself that gently negates the cold, at-least some-what. That's an apprentice or novice level spell, right?

[Greenstarfanatic]

Climb down the ladder, trying to reach my inner spirits to allow me to breath fire.

Turn Four


Josh

Scan the area looking for a cave

{1} You look around but do not see anything that might qualify as a cave. (Because of failure there might be one around, but you just failed too hard to see it.)

Grek

open box. Try to find flammable materials.

Seriously, figure the luck. This box is proving to be the most challenging quest ever made.
{1} You fail to open the box. You drop the box. You do not find any flammable materials.

Valentine

Practice light telekinesis on the ladder by bracing it while I climb down

{4} Your teleknesis negates the ladder penalty. You manage to climb down without incident.

Ynot

Find highly suspicious body of water. Cast Thunder.

{4} You find your way to a puddle that is growing large in the rain. You attempt to channel the natural lightning to strike this puddle. Due to your complete lack of knowledge of magic, you only manage to give the puddle a slight positive charge.

Blenk

Blenk will try and cast a spell on himself that gently negates the cold, at-least some-what. That's an apprentice or novice level spell, right?

{3} Blenk increases his surface body temperature.

Bork

Climb down the ladder, trying to reach my inner spirits to allow me to breath fire.

{6-1=5} You climb down the ladder. You channel your mana.

Unknown Human

Attemt to make way to the hut

{2} You walk towards the hut.

Spot/Listen Check:
{6} Your team on the ground notices the supports to the Platform are severely weakened. The storm is upon ye. The group on the ground also notices that the ladder has led to a small valley. The previously mentioned hut is a small distance away; at the top of a twenty meter cliff.

-~-~-

Wow, it seems all your luck goes into Spot. For the record, Spot is completely linear. You can't overcharge looking around, so a six is the best possible.

As to how I plan on working magic. You all can learn it, but there are restrictions. Just like how it would be impossible to learn how to use a sword without one, it is also impossible to learn how to use magic without books, a tutor, or special circumstances such as the thunder storm at the same time Ynot tried to use electric magic.
