It occurs to me that I've been using 6's as excessive successes (try saying that five times fast) instead of the painful overshot they're supposed to be. Starting now, 6s will get what you want done... but something you don't want to happen, will. My excuse for not taking this attitude towards 6s earlier is that your characters were new and quite frankly, couldn't take care of themselves too well, but now you're all grown up and questing and stuff so you can handle overshots.
KnightedSkull:
You place the ant shield on the ground, line your choppa up,
{} and WHACK it into the tunnel! It bounces off a wall before disappearing into the darkness, and you can hear it rebounding from outside. Long after the sound of an ant's carapace bouncing of stone fades away, you hear an infernal hissing. *3 QP*
Muwahahaha:
You 'T'ravel northeast to (you guessed it) RandomFunk, the Weird Pit of Mystery. *Quest Mode* *1 QP*
Inaluct:
You search for ammunition for your PPP.
{} You can only find rocks, and you already *have* rocks. Besides, you're already carrying rather a lot in your hands.
Luke_Prowler:
You check the rocks in your backpack. They aren't anything special, but they are polished smooth and quite pretty. You attempt to work your orc hide into a slingshot
{} but you can't see a leatherworking shop, and can't conceive of why one would be anywhere near here.
Katsuun:
You pick up the Ant-puter,
{} and throw it away. You order your elemental to return to your side (which it does), and to aid you in your attempt to connect yourself to every other computer in the world
{} (which it also does). Aided by your elemental, you attempt to connect yourself to every other computer in the world.
{} You succeed! You an internet server, and are now connected to all 1 of the other computers in the world. If someone uses the ant-puter, they can now message you directly unless you are too far underground, or surrounded by an electric field of some kind. If another computer (with wireless capabilities) is created, you will automatically link to it.
Digital Hellhound:
You close your eyes and focus, attempting to awaken your inner powers (besides magic),
{} but you're still dazed from having your skull split open recently and can't concentrate. You feel clear after the short rest though.
Zasit Alebath:
You fish your fire-labelled vial out of your backpack again,
{} but you can't quite figure out how to make a torch out of it. Taking a handful of grass and lighting it on fire probably wouldn't work so well... ummm... huh. You're stumped. Without a light source, you don't want to enter the cave. *1 QP*
Errol:
You wander into the cave. You can't see anything. You can hear some skittering noises and the fading echo of loud hissing, but they seem quite far off. *1 QP*
Situation: You are outside (or, in Errol's case, JUST inside) RandomFunk. Venturing in without a light source is possible, but foolhardy, and it will take you three turns of feeling your way along the walls to get anywhere.
