Turn 13: Every Time You Get A 1, It Warms My HeartINIT:
Glass/Ash Hong(61)
DoctorMcTaalik/DrM(53)
Yottawhat/Curtis(38)
Mallos/Ckaeyod(62-20=42)
NAV/Dave Blade(34)
PaPaj/Pondy(52)
And then everything happened almost at once.
Ash Hong continued his medical efforts.
Use it.
Also, stop being tired and fix my chest.
((So tempted to roll for injection... nah.))
Ash Hong injected himself with the syringe, which faded away after he did so. He noticed, then, that his wounds vanished entirely... but it came with a price, based on the note in his hand.
"Dear Mr. Hong. Use-It-Or-Lose-It is a proprietary drug that heals all wounds instantly, but also acts as a deadly poison. Don't worry! The poison is fairly delayed. You won't die until [7 turns] have passed, definitely long enough to kill somebody and throw one of their loot items into the pit, healing yourself of the poison. You won't even experience any symptoms before your death! P.S.: Do try to figure out every side of what your loot does. I wouldn't want it to go to waste."
((You got a 6 on the prayer roll. Succeed, but with consequences.))
At roughly the same time,
DrM continued his attack.
Keep on kicking. Preferably Ckaeyod, and not JrM.
Leg Strikes, Many!(6) vs. Roll!(4-1-1=2)
DrM's strike connected with force, though it was leading to him becoming unbalanced...
Force!(2) vs. Resist!(2)
If the kick had any force behind it, it might have done something to the area where it connected with Ckaeyod. Maybe the fight was tiring DrM out.
Consequences!(4)
DrM corrected, for the most part, his unbalance, though it still showed in his posture when Ckaeyod acted. ((If the difference between your INIT scores was much higher, it wouldn't do anything at all.))
At basically the same time as that,
Pondy decided that he needed a weapon.
Pondy grab's the nearest weapon near him, and then jumps at the first person closest to him with his weapon
Snatch Steal!(6) vs. Not The Kukri!(6-1-1=4)
There was a rather nice looking kukri in the hands of the guy lying down who was tangled with a dinosaur. Pondy dashed over to the guy, coordinating his attack with DrM, then yanked the kukri out of Ckaeyod's hands... and cut his hand up in the process, basically ruining it. At least he had a weapon now.
Shank!(1) vs. Not The Kukri!(3-1-1=1)
Apparently, it was possible to botch striking a tangled prone target.
Ckaeyod screamed in anger as his kukri was taken from him.
CUT THE FUCKING DINOSAUR OFF I SWEAR TO GOD. Also, don't get killed.
So what if he didn't have a knife! He had his bare hands!
Strength!(1)
But he was so tired... the dinosaur kept weighing him down... so close to getting it off him! Argh!
Meanwhile,
Curtis was on fire.
Stop, drop, and roll to put out the fire.
The Practical Option!(1)
Curtis realized that stopping, dropping, and rolling could break his precious shield and wooden radio box, which he clutched tight to himself.
Doesn't Wood Burn, Shield?!(1)
His precious shield promptly disintegrated from the fire. There was still the gem in the center of it intact, which would probably count as loot for the pit, but everything else was gone.
Doesn't Wood Burn, Box?!(6)
The radio box promptly started playing punk rock. Infernal metal, the band was called.
Doesn't Flesh Burn, Curtis?!(Disadvantage: 5, 3 = 3-1=2)
Curtis' flesh could have gotten burned worse, but not by much.
Dave Blade, the master of fire, smiled as he heard Curtis' screaming.
Activate burst of speed, and run and grab the scroll!
Bottlesmash then brokenbottleshank anyone who comes too close.
Magic!(It Doesn't Work That Way)
For some reason, Dave Blade's speed power wasn't cooperating. On the other hand, nobody else was trying to get the scroll, so Dave Blade grabbed it easily.
