Turn 142
I leave my new friends to go about and extort money from stores while I check out the new place.
(2) You tell your newly gathered followers to go out and spread the word that you will prevent bad things from happening to shops and their owners, for a nominal fee. Then you turn to leave when suddenly some sort of goo strikes you in the face, blinding you and causing you to trip on a loose cobblestone. As soon as you hit the ground you feel more of the goo being smeared over you, and you start violently trying to get it off and strike whoever is putting it on you when you suddenly realize that it is jelly, blueberry flavored jelly. This makes no sense whatsoever, and now you are not only angry because whoever threw it at you threw it at you, but also because they didn't include peanut butter.
*Grits teeth and complies with the dim-witted hechman in order to finish this whole trade thing.*
(3) It seems that the only way to get this trade over with is to shut up and let the stupid thugs do their thing, so that is what you do. The lead thug slowly opens the doors to the back of the van, slowly makes sure that nothing fishy is hidden inside, and then slowly begins to count the gold. After a few minutes he seems sufficiently pleased with the amount of gold. He asks for the keys to the van, holding out the keys to the truck in exchange.
Generally help the Collosus and suggest that we set up a facility to produce a robotic army.
(4) You start running towards the colossus, your attempt to catch up to it made much easier by the fact that it has stopped. Though for obvious reasons of distance between your mouth and whatever it uses as ears communication is slightly more difficult, and it takes you a few tries to get its attention. It bows down low to get closer to you, making you feel somewhat small and insignificant, and you present your plan to set up a facility to produce a robotic army. The colossus seems to at least consider it before getting back to generally crushing everything in its path to wherever it is going, and you decide to help it fight off the army.
(1) But your attempted attacks miss completely, only killing an innocent payphone.
put.......... JELLY on this hot god
(3) You are awestruck by Cheetahr's performance, you feel like the apostles must have felt when they first listened to Jesus, he is like a literal god. So you decide to put jelly on him, for some reason that only your rather twisted mind can fathom. With a simple motion some jelly is summoned forth from the netherworld, blueberry jelly, which you then scoop into your arms and charge at Cheetahr with. After wrestling him to the ground you start summoning forth more, smearing it all over him. For some reason he seems quite angry.
Wait for briefing, while reading the Batman comic I've kept on my person.
(3) You pull out a comic book about a completely ordinary man, who is a multi-billionaire businessman by day and a bat-themed vigilante by night. Where you've hidden it so long you're not quite sure, but you still enjoy the gritty and realistic portrayal of the life of the normal vigilante immensely. But you are forced to shift your attention to something far less entertaining when a soldier enters the room with a small stack of papers for you to sign, which you'll have to do before they'll tell you anything. With no other choice you get to work, each flourish with the pen putting a signature on a paper, ink flowing like blood and soaking into the surface at the dotted lines.
Continue watching the surroundings, hoping these negotiations will end soon so we can get out of here.
(3) Finally the thugs seem to trust you enough to start with the actual trade, which means that you should be able to get out of there soon enough. And there are no signs of hostile incursions, which doesn't necessarily mean that there are none. Your suspicion that there are ninjas hiding in the shadows only grows stronger.
Eradicate him!
(5) The man's audacity in trying to sucker-punch you while you negotiated with him infuriates you greatly, and you decide that there must be vengeance. Electricity starts to crackle from your closed fist as you draw it back, within mere seconds the force contained within has built to the level of a lighting bolt, ready to be unleashed at the man.
(1) The speed of the punch is such that it is impossible for him to dodge it, and it strikes him straight in the face like the hammer of Thor.
(2-1-1=1) For a moment the world seems to disappear in a bright flash of white, when the light recedes there is no sign of the man, not even a single speck of dust remaining of him.
Lie to the guards that I was actually sent by some (made up) organization to test them. Then tell them for the second part of the test that they need to head for the barracks to grab a package that I hid.
Or if that doesn't work, just shoot them.
(4) Without missing a beat you crack a wide smile and drop out of your ready pose, “I'm agent Flash of SHIELD. I was sent here to test your readiness and you passed with flying colors. Great job everyone!”
(5) The man in front of you stops, looking somewhat confused for a few moments. Then he smiles back at you, apparently having bought into the ruse, and shouting something to his comrades about who is the greater soldier, though using words that are somewhat more vulgar. You go on to explain that the second part of the readiness test is to locate a package hidden somewhere among the barracks, they have ten minutes and it is shaped like the black boxes you find in airplanes, which means that it is actually orange. Most of them run off to do that, only one or two staying behind to guard the prisoners. You are the man now, dog.
I will attempt to enhance my hearing.
(6) Somewhat annoyed by your ongoing failures in locating any subjects to experiment on you decide to try to enhance yourself, and what better to start with than something that will also help you locate test subjects in the future, hearing?
(3+1=4) You focus really hard on your ear, trying to see its internal structure so you can change it. At first not much seems to happen, but then you notice that the drops of water falling from the roof are growing louder and louder. The sweet taste of success is made all the much sweeter by breaking a long string of failures, and you take a few moments to just listen to the loud dripping noises.
Anyways, I drill upwards in my sealed container, aiming for the sewers, since any air is better than no air. (And the sewers are made of metal, so I can aim!)
(5+1+1=6) Being trapped in a small underground space with little available air isn't exactly what you would call fun, so you head upwards, aiming for a collection of metal above your head that you assume is the sewers. So when you instead emerge into the waters of the river you are justifiably surprised, somehow you must have lost your way when digging underground and ended up too close to the bottom. And the mass of metal must be a ship on the surface above. Not wanting to tip everyone off to your location you sneak your hastily assembled transport closer to the surface and extend a tube above the water to breathe through, giving you all the time in the world to plan your next move.
Enemy Actions (Heroes/Hostiles)Kill the demon
(2+2=4) A dumpster makes excellent impromptu ammunition to stop the demon with,
(1+1=2) and Zach is unable to dodge it as he does not see it in time.
(1) The heavy container of refuse strikes him hard, fracturing several ribs and breaking both his legs, making a getaway all but impossible. The god of war unceremoniously walks up to him and severs his head with a single blow from the axe, the demon's corpse turning to dust a few seconds later.
Allied/Neutral Actions (Villains/Civilians)Keep quiet
(3) She just stands there, staring at the thugs.
Destroy
(5) It is just as destructive as one would expect a five story tall robot made from tanks to be, apparently having dealt with whatever issue plagued it a few minutes previous.
(4) The military seems to lack anything to take it down with, instead opting for a tactical retreat. It seems rather disappointed about not getting to smash anything.
Do nothing
(…) He does nothing, just standing there and waiting for the deal to be done with.
Clean up
(2) They really should get started on cleaning out the various debris littering the base, but they don't feel like it right now.
Extort
(6) The run off to the nearest store, smash the crap out of it, and then imply that if the owner doesn't want that to happen again then he should probably pay Cheetahr for protection. As subtle as a sledgehammer to the groin they are.
