 :P

What is this, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy RTD?

Anyway, I wrestle my head out of it's mouth. Decapitation isn't going to stop me.

Alternately, I spend my last few seconds before I bleed to death thinking about the futility of life, and how as the first to die, I will invariably raise strange philosophical issues, or appear as a recurring villain later on, or whatever always happens. And then I slip off into oblivion...

Also, I leave my chains to Frelock. May what symbolized oppression in my life symbolize triumph in yours.

?  I wasn't aware of any references to HGTTG...
As for the other part: You don't get another action unless somebody happens to help you out and use that scroll of resurrection on you...
Frelock does sorta owe you...

I attempt to make a new hand out of cigarette smoke.

This is the best game ever because smoking will be my main skill.

There was a text adventure or something based on The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's well known for killing you when you do some trivial thing. I think.

Anyway, I'd appreciate resurrection, but you guys can go ahead and save the scroll or roll cigarettes in it or something. Good luck.

Oh yeah. Resurrection cigarettes. They save you from the lung cancer you're giving yourself!

I do owe inaluct for the chains.  How about I resurrect you and we call it even?

I find the resurrection scroll and use it to resurrect inaluct.

I was actually joking about the chains. Anyway, thanks for the resurrection. I owe you a mad suicide charge or something.

Well, then, I do something else that makes it impossible to get a 6.
If I succeed or I don't it will be good for me.

I try to fast-talk the pneumatic hole and convince it that it's actually been a pair of pneumatic hole-based pants all along.

Wait, so I have a new body, right? As in, no huge scars on my neck, and no horrible debilitating blood loss?

Anyway, I try and gain angelic healing powers as a result of my afterlife experience. Alternately, I try and gain healing powers as a result of my lack of an experience with an afterlife. Depends on the reality of this RTD.

Also, I'm just going to go out on a limb here and assume that I'm not standing right on top of the humaneater right now.
