(I might not do a roll for that one.  Maybe.  Please do not be offended.)

(Anyway, like I said, I'll not be updating tonight because I want to keep things sane for me.  Back tomorrow!)

Sane? What is this strange new word?

Previous -- Next

John (ziizo): I feel bad about you losing all those splitter wands you bought, but, as the GM, I honor your commitment to the party's well-being.  Onward to adventure!

That's it, you're out of here.  Still, John tries to smooth out problems before they can get worse, handing over the collection of splitter wands he bought.  The prospector seems like she doesn't know what to think, but accepts your offer to replace what she lost.  The guards disperse and you all descend underground (or under-underground), back down the tunnel where you first arrived.

It's a long walk as always.  Sir Lootington makes some peculiar statements as you go, only serving to make it longer.  He starts falling behind the group.  This would be alarming, but it means you don't have to listen to him as much, so it evens out.

. . . Is this tunnel actually longer?  Like, longer than when you walked the other direction?  Morning turns to afternoon and you're still going.  Then afternoon approaches evening . . .

Day 7, Evening

You'd heard hints that geography was weird down here.  This is not what you left on the other side of the tunnel.




But hey, you remember those corpses!  You have been here, just not in this order.

So there's the scaled turkey that got eaten by the wall tiger.  And it looks like the predator finished with Helmacon: he's resting in several pieces, with his sturdier possessions like his mining helmet scattered across the ground.

The bodies are looking somewhat decomposed, of course.  And, uh, covered in nasty mushrooms.  That's not very pleasant to contemplate.


Check the "known maps" for the original of this location.  It's in the "Between Rock Bottom and the Halfway House" section.

As stated, Sir Lootington (TankKit) is some short distance behind you.

I modified the exit tunnel graphic to those double-spaced arrows to indicate it is a double-long tunnel.  The distance between major locations is determined randomly, and I intend to reduce time slogging through maps by allowing for longer transitions on occasion.  Though it would require you to be psychic in practice, I believe I will be alerting you about these distances on future maps so that you may plan.

"So, before he catches up, I say we should excommunicate the loonie. Chase him down a tunnel, then move down a different one ourselves. He's only a danger to us.

Besides, he tried to kill me.

"give him a chance and with that I mean that walks in front. You know in case of tigers"

Grab the helmet and everything still usable and put it in the wheelbarrow. Then check the mushrooms.

"Why exactly do I have you people following me? Go away if you're not going to help or do something actually useful. That means you, Frank. You and your insane asylum buddy can go right back down that tunnel this instant. I'm not putting up with either of you."
Chase off frank and lootington. They're both not worth keeping around.

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.

"You say that, but you'd be long dead without me. I do have my uses.

Plus, I never tried to kill you.

Frank refuses to be chased off, and instead explores to the West.

"OI!" Sir Lootington catches up and stabs Dustan in the face. With his improved sword. "No attacking people for no reason! I'm trying to be normal, and apparantly pranks aren't nice, so stop doing that!"

John just facepalm and continues his salvaging of Helmacon goods

Whew!  Okay, actual bloody infighting.

(I was predicting cannibalism from day one.  You have food to spare now, so I guess you needed some other reason to kill each other . . . )

I presume, Dustan, that you'll defend yourself from a direct threat on your life, probably with lethal force.  With that in mind, I'll advance everyone else's actions in small pieces within "combat round" timing, even if they're non-combat.  I have Durenadal (HugeNerdAndProudOfIt)'s list of priorities while away, so I'll want Overseer (FallacyofUrist)'s action.

Frank ignores the combat. Sir Lootington will be Sir Lootington. He continues his plan to explore West.
