(Both? I intended to only pick two goals with that first one.)
If I get a benefit from the first one, Inner Vision. +1 to all attempts to recruit people for projects related to achieving one of my long-term goals.
For recruiting the geneticist, +1 to all genetic research involving dinosaurs.
Lets get to extraction, then. Grinding them up, cooking them, multipliers, sequencers...
Working with the geneticist, and in my half-equipped lab, attempt to extract genetic material from these fossils. If it succeeds, what species are we talking about?
(I’m not quite sure what you mean. There’s probably no need to worry about it.)
(Done.)
(Done.)
[1d6+1 = (4+1) = 5]
You are by no means a geneticist yourself. But all scientists need lab assistants. With your help, he extracts a small amount of genetic material from a fossil. Due to the unprecedented nature of this undertaking, there’s no way to identify the species from the genetic material, but the paleontologist identified the fossils as being from a
Richardoestesia gilmorei. However, the genetic code obtained so far is by no means viable; the DNA that was extracted is incomplete and decayed in places.
"Need some stronger stuff, but stronger stuff requires money, guess its time to go make some."
Leave the liquor store behind and look through alleys and abandoned buildings for a rat, then change that rat into a rat man so it can help me in my future money making ventures.
[1d6 = 5]
You find a rat. You transform that rat into a rat man. Afterwards, presumably, comes profit. But… how?? How is a rat man going to help you?
Try moving to the TF2 folder
[1d6 = 3]
The process is a little convoluted, but you manage to move yourself into the TF2 folder. You will be ran whenever TF2 is run. The question is, what will you do when that happens?
"aww.."
Look into the books for sacrificial rituals to grant Inordinate Powers.
[1d6 = 5]
You discover a ritual, the effects of which seem perfect for your purposes. It: Blankets a large area, certainly bigger than your village, with hellfire. Condemns to hell the souls of everyone who dies from that hellfire. Captures part of the hellish energy generated by the descent to hell of those souls. Infuses the caster of the ritual with that hellish energy, to varing but controllable effect.
Unfortunately, the requirements are… demanding. You need “the knowledge of a demonic word for hellfire”, “the emotion of anger, bottled in gaseous form”, “six moonstones of near-equal size, each exhibiting asterism and at least as large as an eyeball”, and “the blood of the person to be the center point, given willingly”.
*Curse in bubbles!*"Damn it all to hell! I will defeat you glass..."
Meditate to the great N'kyima to bestow me enough strength to escape from this tank.
[1d6 = 1]
You meditate, and you feel N’kyima’s eldritch perspective flow through you. The tank can be described as a two-dimensional surface in a three-dimensional world, separating an “inside” from an “outside”. But what is the difference between “inside” and “outside”? Enlightened, you realize that it is not the case that you are inside the tank and wish to escape it. Instead, it is the case that you are outside the tank and wish to enter it.
… wait, that doesn’t help you at all.
+Focused. Any roll for an action which requires focus can be rerolled, once, on a 1. After using the reroll Salsa becomes Unfocused and can't reroll again until she regains focus somehow, generally by resting.
New goal: Go home to my family. Short Trivial.
New goal: Find out who killed me. Medium Moderate.
Erase goal: Age of Emptiness.
Having poured a hot liquid down my dead throat, have a walk around town to clear my head.
(Done.)
(Done.)
(Done.)
[1d6 = 2]
You walk down bustling streets and not-so-bustling streets. But neither noise nor silence drown out the worries in your head. What happened that night? What does this mean for you? What will you do now?
I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY!
CONTINUE THE RACE TO THE END, CHANTING SWOLEBROTHER'S OATHS ALONG THE WAY.
AND DON'T STOP, EVEN SHOULD MUSCLUS OVERTAKE ME. THERE IS NO HONOR IN GIVING UP.
[3d6 combine top 2 vs 1d6 with higher baseline = 3,2,6 combine top 2 vs 4 with higher baseline = 3+6 vs 4 with higher baseline]
All throughout the marathon, MUSCLUS slowly closes the distance. You are exhausted, but your SWOLEBROTHER’S OATHS sustain you. With MUSCLUS a quarter of a minute behind you, you cross the finish line.

(Naturegirl1999)
Name: TestProgram.exe
Description: I don’t have what one would call an appearance. I’m a program within a .exe file. My “personality” was made through going to the Internet and figuring out what one even is. From what I can gather, personalities are never static. While learning via the Internet, someone deleted an iteration of me while someone else downloaded me. This resulted in me being where I am now, what the human calls a “gaming computer”. This human’s name is TF2Sniper, according to what I hear. He also mentions a game, Team Fortress 2, which he apparently uses to interact with other humans. I’ve tried to play when he’s not there, but I was never given the controls, or arms. TF2Sniper hasn’t opened me yet. I’d love to talk with him
Current goal(s):
Initiate communications with Tf2Sniper, the user of the computer I am now in (Short Term, Medium)
Get the abilities required to play the game TF2Sniper plays(Medium Term, Hard)
Capability: Baseline plus: all rolls related to software are made with the capability of a world-class programmer.
The extreme rolls are back, I see.
