Turn 12. I think that your foes are hurting themselves more you’re hurting them.
i go down and attack enemyes with my scorpion!
| Andrea orders his scorpion to attack the goblin wrestler. The scorpion looks at Andrea quizzically.
I sneak through the big platinum doors.
| Frelock creeps along the wall, remaining in the shadows. He accidentally kicks a rock, which hits a sparring dwarf in the back of the head. The dwarf falls over, skewering himself on the spear of his sparring partner, who begins cheering wildly. The remainder of his walk is uneventful, and he hides near the doors, waiting for them to open.
| Nobody opens the doors this turn, and Frelock decides against risking breaking cover his by opening the doors himself.
In my dream, I have a vision. A massive, cyclopean stepped pyramid rises up below me, elevating me thousands of feet from the field of sunflowers. A gigantic serpent with iridescent scales soars up from behind the horizon, hurtling towards me. The titanic serpent, resplendent in it's scintillating scales, reaches me in seconds. Only part of it's body is visible, the rest is still hidden behind the horizon. With a mighty roar, I punch the serpent's head, causing it to shatter like glass. The glass falls into the field, and trees grow. As my vision concludes, I wake up with a new view of the world and fantastic mental powers.
| Inaulct has a wondrous dream. He slaughters a truly massive serpent, and somehow he feels … different. He awakens, and realizes something: He just killed his subconscious mind, and must now actively breathe. Should he get knocked out, he will die. (Oh, right, failsafe. How did you learn to call the die like that? You should be careful what you wish for.) Inaulct dreams of a massive pyramid elevating him up thousands of feet into the air. He dreams of a serpent heading towards him at supersonic speeds! He punches its nose. This was a bad move, as the serpent is far more durable then Inaulct’s hand.
| Inaulct awakens, dizzy and scared. (-1 next roll)
I let the walrus lead the way instead.
| Armok stares the walrus down, and it goes down the stairs to avoid his gaze. He follows it, and is now in a corridor with doors going east and west.
So, wait, the boulder is rolling from the direction of the staircase? Hm. Interesting. Well, let's do the obvious thing and RUN! Left. Then right. Then right again. Well, presuming I do get that far.
| Sean is being chased by a boulder! After some dramatic music, he runs towards the gap, and barely makes it before the boulder rushes past him. He managed to keep his hat. He keeps running, and turns towards the right. Oops, there was a wall there.
| He suffers some light bruises, and falls over, but is otherwise okay. He lands on something shiny partially embedded in the floor.
I cruelly stab the sleeping spear goblin.
| Aqizzar ignores the fluffy wambler stuck to his face, and stabs the sleeping spear goblin.
| He hits a vital organ,
| waking it up. It tries to stab Aqizzar back,
| but bleeds out before it can.
RTTAI:(3)I’m going to bite that goblin’s face off.
| DF Newb grabs the goblin, and lunges toward its face.
| The goblin wriggles out of his grip, and falls onto the floor headfirst.
| Its jaw appears to be broken, it is probably in pain (-1 all rolls.)
