Turning to Samuel MacArthur, Jean-Jean says, "Hello there! You're some sort of official tower-inspector, yes? I have no doubt that you'd need but scratch the surface of that elevator over yonder to find a veritable bouquet of violations festering underneath."

Jean-Jean observes the notice. Disappointing but not unexpected! "...for instance, that sign is only written in one language. A clear deathtrap for any foreigners."

"Hello, yes I'm here to inspect to tower, not sure how it got built and existed this long without an inspector finding it, and I doubt I brought enough paper to wright everything down on, probably gonna end up using two or three pages on the elevator if it's like the rest of the place."

Go over to the elevator and look it over, and also make sure it's securely closed by attempting to pry it open.

Name: Samuel MacArthur, Safety Inspector
HP: 7/7 | TP: 4/4
Pencil: [Dagger] Ironically, it's made of lead. Hits even on a 2. Inflicts Poison on a 6.
Clipboard: [Shield] -1 damage taken while equipped. Breaks when hit with a natural 6.

[1 TP] Declaration: Declare a tech unsafe, prohibiting its use for 1D6 turns. Prohibited techs suffer a -1 penalty to the roll.
[3 TP] Enforcement: Each combatant suffers 1D6*X damage where X is the number of prohibited techs they've used this battle.


Tower's safety infractions so far:
 Kilometer high tower lacking any warning lights on he outside to prevent potential aircraft hitting it.
 The tower lacks any form of support and could topple at the slightest movement.
 The tower guards attack with out provocation.
 Elevator out of order sign is in only one language.

Samuel ignores the eldritch abomination trying to kill him and enters the Tower.

(Part of me want's to react to it in someway but another doesn't and finds the thought of him being so absorbed in the inspection that he doesn't notice it trying to kill him incredibly funny, so I shall continue to pretend nothing is happening until something happens.)

Go on in, T-Charge on anything that stands. Like a boss.

Go on in, T-Charge on anything that stands. Like a boss.

Grab the other Plastic Rifle and make me way up the stairs to the next level.

Joan looks briefly at her work approvingly before taking the plaster rifle of questionable artistic merit and proceeding to the next floor.

Pick up a rifle and go up floors until I run into something to kill.

Advance up the stairs.

Go over to the elevator and look it over, and also make sure it's securely closed by attempting to pry it open.

(Samuel: 6) With a Herculean effort, Samuel forces the doors apart. He's really not that strong, so they must not have been built to code. And look at this: there's nothing to prevent him from falling into the open elevator shaft and going splat on the bottom God-knows-how-many levels down! Well, it might be possible to grab onto the cord and arrest his fall anyway, but that's action hero shit; the violation stands. The elevator car isn't anywhere in sight, either.

(Techie: 2) Techie T-Charges himself, the only valid target for T-Charge. He is once again T-Charged! He then travels up with the group.

(Iden: 3, Joan: 2, Obscurus: 1) Iden and Joan scoop up the guns, leaving Obscurus tragically rifleless. He trudges up the stairs sulkily.

One short ascent later, Norumas, Gabbie, John Doe, Techie, Iden, Joan, Obscurus, and Jean-Jean emerge into a giant's playroom. Colossal blocks are scattered across the room—which is rather a lot larger than the lobby, by the way. The floor appears to be roughly divided into two Lincoln Log "camps". Both camps are littered with smashed soldiers and huge marbles, but in the opposing camp, one squad still stands! Two soldiers take up position behind a pair of glassy cannons; the rest raise their rifles!

Toy Soldier A: 4/4 HP, 3/3 TP | D-Blunt
Toy Soldier B: 4/4 HP, 3/3 TP | D-Blunt

"Hello, yes I'm here to inspect to tower, not sure how it got built and existed this long without an inspector finding it, and I doubt I brought enough paper to wright everything down on, probably gonna end up using two or three pages on the elevator if it's like the rest of the place."

"If I find any paper, I'll be sure to let you know." It would be nice having an ally who could warn about the tower's dangers before experiencing them first-hand.

***

Seeing the number of rifles arrayed against him, Jean-Jean decides to let the other adventurers thin the crowd a bit before charging in. Taking cover behind one of the giant blocks, he yells out a quick tip to Techie Chan. "Aim for the wheels! Those cannons are useless if they can't aim them! Not that they'll be very useful anyways, considering those louts' aim!"

Use Quick Pointer on Techie Chan.

[VermilionSkies]

[Spray Blind] whichever Toy Cannon Obscuro isn't hitting.

"You're looking a little dull, how about I spice it up a little?"

[A_Curious_Cat]

Get behind some cover and fire my Plastic Rifle at one of the Toy Soldiers.
