Roll to be a Hydra Head
« on: August 13, 2016, 06:56:10 am »

Each player is one of the heads of a single hydra. You can do whatever a hydra head can. Success of actions are determined by a 1d10 roll, with 10 being excellent and 1 being terrible. It requires the agreement of at least a quarter of the currently active heads for the body to move.



You are a hydra. You find yourself in a shopping mall. Behind you a portal closes with a snapping finality. Humans scream a your breath heavily, adjusting to the lighter gravity of this strange new world.

What do?

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

((As head #4))
+1 to Head #2's suggestion. Also, keep an eye out for any particularly violent humans.

You screech loudly in chorus, the traditional hydra greeting. The humans quiver in terror, some fainting.

You notice a first class hat-shop having a closing down sale, glorious headwear available at a steal. Unfortunately, you lack any money. Perhaps you could pay him in bodyparts?

Several uniformed humans seem to wading their way through the panicked crowd towards you.

Ignore the uniformed humans, and go to the hat store. Begin gathering hats for my fellow heads.

Your targeted sonic attack manages to stun the humans, many bleeding from their ears.

Your large hydra body steadily trundles towards the hat shop and you quickly begin seizing several hats, abandoning the constraints of society and it's worthless system of monetary exchange. Your are outside the system!

Soon the the elderly shop-owner is driving you back with a large cattle-prod, it's electricity causing you to suffer painful convulsions.

Head AkumaKasai will suffer a -1 to their next roll due to excruciating pain
Help in acquiring hats
(10)
As your fellow head does a stellar job distracting the shopkeeper you grab piles and piles of the finest hats, sharing them among the heads. No longer shall any of you be without fashionable head-coverings. That dark era is now behind you. Your display of sartorial and criminal mastery seems to have calmed down some of the humans, who pause to clap at your performance of speed, dexterity and impeccable fashion sense

Head Ziizo has become better at theft, and is becoming known in fashion circles.



A small stinging sensation runs through your body. As you look down you see a small hole in your flank, bleeding. At the edge of the steadily growing clearing around you a is hunched man holding some sort of tube-like device.

Give the man a hat, He is obviously jealous of our style and acted without thinking.

Drag some stunned humans into the hat shop and shake 'em until their shinies and foldies fall out.
Then nab a hat!

Scream in agony, and flail my head aggressively into the shopkeeper like an angry giraffe.
