Turn 26Fuck it, climb aboard.
“Isss there any location where I can ssssafely make usssse of the data I’ve recovered? Making a few more copiessss would probably also be a good idea.”
Haven’t a clue.
"Then bring me back to my lab."
Give an explanation of where that means.
Arrighty then, assumin’ it’s still there.
Bring him back to his lab.
4+2Juainos follows his Chupathingie friend and Shaun along while fiddling the first geometric hoagie he can grab from his Bag O' Hoagies.
"Hey Adam, ever see a man get discombobulated in a time-loop for 5000 kalpas? Cause I think this is what this thingymajig does."
(No roll)
Magically fix our replicator.
5Ssarscel climbs aboard Shaun's TARDIS.
“Isss there any location where I can ssssafely make usssse of the data I’ve recovered? Making a few more copiessss would probably also be a good idea.”
"Haven’t a clue.""Then bring me back to my lab."
"Arrighty then, assumin’ it’s still there."As they prepare for departure, Juainos and Adam enter as well. Juainos tries to strike up a conversation while eating a hoagie.
"Hey Adam, ever see a man get discombobulated in a time-loop for 5000 kalpas? Cause I think this is what this thingymajig does."[/b]
However, Adam rudely refuses to speak with him and instead goes to see the replicators. Through means exactly as mysterious as Juainos' portals, the replicators are miraculously repaired. In fact, they are now charged with the interlocked energies of Heaven and Hell. Once Ssarscel has studied the Infinity Milk's scans at his lab and refined the recipe, this replicator should be strong enough to survive recreating the lost Milks.
After all that is done, the TARDIS materializes back in the settlement. Outside, the town is eerily quiet. Scanner readings indicate that nearly everyone is gone. Only a handful of the original population is still here, and they seem to be patrolling around the ruins. After a few seconds, they all simultaneously do a triumphant fist pump before immediately going back to their patrols.
Protected inside the TARDIS, the group suddenly detects a massive wave of
something wash over the town. The layout is suddenly altered, and a few of the patrolling people are deleted from existence and replaced with other similar but not identical people.
"I could quit being the president, but maybe I have access to something really neat that'll make it worth going against everything I've stood for."
See what kind of things I have access to as the president that aren't power and money, as the money's worthless and everyone's dead.
6You look through the Presidential archives, hoping to find something fun. Soon enough, you discover something interesting. According to these records, the President is entitled to a massive spacecraft named the
Sacred Cow. The vehicle is meant as a heavily fortified interplanetary command center for the President. Shaped much like an archaic airliner, It includes laser cannons, heavy armor, everything one might need in a mobile headquarters, and a functional robotic crew.
The only problem is that
Sacred Cow is currently under the control of a gang of anarchist raiders, who have hacked the robots and pilot the vehicle around Earth to destroy communities they consider "complacent".
You feel fuzzy for a moment, and then realize you've got two antlers. Odd that this is notable to you, since you never lost an antler.
yes, we have a deal
what do you think we do here?
4"Can't say for sure, but that serpent... There's something in its eyes, calling to me."
Kneel before the serpent to see if I'm worthy of foreseeing my destiny.
If I'm worthy, then touch the serpent's head with a finger and see my destiny.
If not, then I guess try to roll away from the serpent, then stand up and throw a knife at it.
2, 4what do you mean calling to you? Do you hear thoughts from it?
If the serpent attacks Joshua, attack it, if not, examine the eggs more closely
1yes, we have a deal"Acceptable, Creator Rana. A Byakhee will be along shortly. Swap this body with that one. It will make it easier for us to get down the mountain and reach Cow Auðumbla. Once there, you will need to acquire her milk."The deal is made. As the creature speaks, Rana feels the knowledge of Auðumbla's current location enter her mind.
At the summit of the Mountain, Rana and Joshua observe the little tree and its creatures.
"what do you think we do here?""Can't say for sure, but that serpent... There's something in its eyes, calling to me."what do you mean calling to you? Do you hear thoughts from it?Joshua approaches the serpent cautiously. Rana keeps an eye on him, but also takes a look at the nest. As her crablike body crawls atop the tree to get a better look, she accidentally dislodges the larger of the two eggs. It shatters upon the ground, and a massive wave of sheer
change echoes throughout the Ginnungagap. She gets the sense that this tree is best treated with great care.
Joshua's attempt to kneel is spoiled when the wave trips him. He falls before the serpent, but thankfully it seems that the creature is feeling forgiving. Joshua looks into the creature's eyes atop the great mountain, searching for his destiny. And finally he finds it.
Joshua sees a blurry vision of himself, on an unknown battlefield. Fighting against him is Thainos himself. It seems that somehow, Thainos survived the Event. He's currently hiding somewhere in Joshua's own time, enjoying the "paradise" he created. This is what Joshua was born for. To be an Avenger, trillions of times over. The vision does not guarantee success. In many versions of the fight, Thainos emerges triumphant. However, in many others, Joshua fulfills his destiny and becomes one of the greatest heroes in history. As a result, his life is indeed changed forever.
Crush the skelly to dust! THEN BURN THE DUST SOMEHOW
5 vs 2+1, 4+1use the skeletons of those i killed to out last them while keep slaughtering them
6The horde attacks Joey Bones, attempting to bring him down. Joey impales and shreds his way through dozens of drones, but eventually trips over one of the corpses. This gives the horde an idea. Soon enough, Joey Bones is hemmed in by the heaps of his enemies' dead. The horde uses the opening to dogpile him. Joey tries using the skeletons of the drones to keep himself standing, but this proves to be a mistake. The sheer volume of nanobots poisoning their bones compromises Joey's will, crippling his efforts to fight back. The John Network uses the opportunity to finally subdue Joey.
In short order, Joey is crushed to dust and burnt. All that remains of him is the cremated ashes floating on the wind.
Joey Bones is dead."BUGGER."
OKAY, NEW PLAN: DRINK THE BLOOD FROM MY WOUNDS! IF IT IMMEDIATELY RE-ENTERS MY BODY IT'S LIKE I'M NOT EVEN LOSING BLOOD AT ALL, RIGHT?! CHECKMATE, MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS!
IF THAT SOMEHOW NOT WORK, AT LEAST HAVE HELPFUL SPIRITUAL VISION SPARKED MY RESULTING LIGHT-HEADEDNESS
OH YEAH, AND PULL OUT A BAZOOKA FROM SOMEWHERE (MAYBE BURIED UNDER TREE?) AND SHOOT THAT FRIGGIN' UNICORN.
MY HEROIC OKAPI FORCES CAN SURELY HANDLE REST OF DAIRY QUEEN ARMY ON THEIR OWN.
4, 1, 5 vs 6Ride the Unicorn into battle casting fire spells at the Okapis
6+1Yoink shoves his own dismembered wrist into his mouth and drinks his spraying blood. In direct defiance of all medical knowledge, this somehow cancels out his bleeding. He then discovers an old rocket launcher left behind during the apocalypse and buried under some roots. Yoink raises the launcher one-handed and attempts to target the Unicorn.
Meanwhile, Adam and his steed charge into the Okapi ranks, slaughtering rebellious endangered giraffe relatives left and right with spiral horn and burning flame. Yoink attempts to stop them with the rocket launcher, but fires wildly off-course and hits his own ranks. In the resulting confusion, the Dairy Queen's forces take full control of the battle and push the okapis into full retreat. Attacking the fortress is no longer possible for Yoink's army in its current state.
As they flee into the woods, both sides suddenly feel lost for a moment, as if the trees aren't where they should be. Oddly enough, they can't remember them being anywhere else either.
OOC:I just wanted to mention that we have a channel on the
General Bay12 Forum Games discord.
