Turn FifteenTake my revenge on the Sissy Fungus!
By the mushroom corpse, Bukkar is ashamed. Like many men who feel their underlying masculine forces and precious bodily fluids threatened by the confusing and too-rapid evolution of the world around them and in which they no longer clearly see their place he turns to mindless violence, seeing as how it’s too early for drinking.
”*YOU*”"Finally, the bloody little bugger is dead! We should probably deal with our wounds before moving onward, though."…He kneads that Sissy Fungus Corpse like a great big barrel of dough! He punches! He pummels! He slaps! He elbows!
”*FECKING*”"Messenger, you owe me a new pair of boots. And more besides that. Maybe even dinner and a show.""Luckily I still have a bit of money. Sorry again. But I do suppose that, should things go as they have already, you'll soon get the chance to return the favor. Hahaha."After no more than a minute’s bemused observation, the rest move off, leaving the disturbingly angry man alone in the dark with his slimy dead mushroom.
”*ARSEWIPE*”Defend my bandages with my life, and mean, mean words. If you take one without asking anyway, you might find your luck slipping... Also, treat that small wound I sustained.
Alone in her dark bloody corridor and surrounded by bits of rat-insect legs, Medha sits down cross legged and starts bandaging her own hand. It’s… well…
…the bleeding’s stopped. Her hand looks like she used to live in a pyramid though. She kind of likes it as a look.
…Suddenly Lady Foxglove appears out of nowhere, pushes her over, and steals her look! And a bandage with which to achieve this look, which, in the interests of originality, she applies to her foot.
…Rather fetching, she thinks.
While she wraps herself up, Whiz and a grinning Tackov wander along, Whiz enquiring very politely if he could possibly have a bandage or two.
He can’t.
Tackov wonders if he might perchance help with all the bandaging.
He can’t either.
Finally, carefully looking in the every corner just like his mum used to when checking he’d adequately cleaned his room of cobwebs, comes Gervedder.
He makes it alive, too, just in time for a lengthy and mature financial discussion, at some point during which Whiz gets bored and approaches the further – we’ll say northernmost for convenience’s sake – wooden door.
Open the further wooden door, then.
…Whiz the Wizzard approaches the wooden door, takes a small run up, and kicks it right off its hinges!
It falls flat on the floor and there’s a few distressed squeaks and unpleasant crunches as Whiz bursts into the room over it!
The room is empty except for a strong looking wooden door in the far corner.
”Room clear!” shouts Whiz, suffering some sort of flashback.
… … … … … …
Back at the mushroom corpse, Bukkar is busy pummelling away when suddenly a lurching drunkard bursts out of nowhere, spewing profanities and wildly swinging his fists!
Luckily Bukkar wins initiative and backs away, preparing his own fists!
I can't redo the map right now, but it's the same as before but with a new room you've just entered which has a door at the north west. The room's only about 5 square square.
The very bottom of the map turns off to the west.
All the healing 3s I decided were acceptable this turn because it’s not combat and it would only slow things down for another turn as you stood about bandaging yourselves otherwise.
Also, you kept RP-bickering after I'd written most of the turn and had to leave it for five hours, so I've done my best...
Oh – ALSO also, being that the obvious next step seems particularly obvious and simple, I'll just mini-turn the next turn so Bukkar can sort himself out and the rest can progress as they see fit. I've actually remembered to roll his d12 at the beginning of every turn, it just took until recently for any ones to be rolled.
