sorry people, I couldn't write the turn today.
In fact, due to lack of time, I think I have to give up and abandon this RTD.
Just kidding, turn below! however, it took more days than it is healthy to write this turn, so status errors can be anywhere. Keep an eye open , and report them.
A thing I noticed is that I forgot to add any bad effect regarding mental actions for wounds. I decided to just use pain for that, since I already use separated damage/pain penalties.
ask if there is some way to receive our memory back]
|you start asking a new question :” Mr. golem, do you think we-“ when you are interrupted by Ram, who enters the room running and screaming, pushing you away. He seems to have bigger problems than you, so you let him speak first.
Question to golem: AAAAAARGH! I'm on Fire! I'm on Fire! MAKE IT STOP!
| You need help, now! You run to the control room, trying to find your team mates. There are Hellhound and Flintus working on a door, but in the room at your right you see a golem! You clearly remember that golems used to be masters of magic so you quickly run into the room, pushing Jetsquirrel aside.
“ helpmeIamburningwithsomekindofspiritualfireneedhealing!”
“
speak slower, little person, I can’t understand anything“Somehow I absorbed a fire, that was burning in the generator room, but now the fire is inside me, burning… something. My soul, spirit, whatever! I can’t stop it and it is eating my life! Help me!”
“
|oh… uncontrolled and unskilled use of magic. In any other situation I would have smashed you into a wall for this. I’ll see what I can do, but I will probably end up damaging it more. Prepare yourself to lower your expected life”
The golem raises its hands on you, then he channels a white energy into your body. And it burns, a lot! Your soul feels like it is cracked and ripped!
“AHHH! IT HURTS!”
“
I’ll stop. I can’t do much about this. You trapped the fire inside you, locked in a magical pocket, but keeping this pocket drains your life energy. And releasing it may be impossible now. I tried to restore your energy, but I failed and instead I fueled the fire. You need to transfer the “magical pocket” to something else… even an animal should be ok for this. I suggest you or one of your friends try some healing magic if things get bad. I failed, but your specie is MUCH more experienced than mine in healing magic. It is the only branch of magic we never mastered. ”
AI: rest, so that elbow can heal better
|You sit down and rest, looking at your elbow. It hurts, but it doesn’t seem badly damaged. After a while it starts hurting less
| and now it doesn’t hurt anymore! It wasn’t as bad as you thought. Now, you can resume whatever activity you was planning
First: I take control of my hallucinations and create the ability to force the people I choose to see the hallucinations that I see.
|all the candy mountains and chocolate lakes, evil mini-elves and all hallucinations start looking unreal to you, then slowly fade away. This sends you to the cold, hard reality, in which you are heavily wounded , on the ground of an half burnt room. Then you suddenly find out what made your hallucinations stop: PAIN! Lots of pain!. Your legs are crippled and you need healing.
Go help Flintus get that door open. I HAVE STONE ARMS DAMNIT
|You walk to Flintus and push him aside. “ leave this to me, I should be able to move that door.” You make an incredible effort but your arms being made of stone doesn’t actually give you more strength- it just makes it very hard to grab the door to try to pull it. Just before you give up, you hear a strange noise from behind and jump away, turning yourself to flintus.. you see an odd device floating near him, then exploding. You luckily are now out of range.
Get as much help as I can and try to open the door look for something to wedge/smash it open if necessary
|angered by the way Hellhound discarded you as useless, you decide to use your ultimate card to open the door: the mysterious device you built! You take it out and start shaking it; after a while some panels start to shift, the shape changes and smoke starts going out of the odd device. You, scared, throw it away but surprisingly, it flies! And it flies toward you. You don’t have time to react and you are hit right in the chest, causing shortening your breathe and bending your ribs. Then, it seems to explode, throwing sharp fragments that hit you in several parts of the body, causing minor but painful damage. The fun device is intact in front of you, on the ground. And it looks innocent too! You would almost believe it, if you wasn’t wounded.

LOCATIONS
The building in which you started
Vat room : the room you started in. it has several vats and machinery connected to them. Only your ones are empty, the other have dead and rotten corpses in them. On the ground there are some flashlights, -1 to moving until removed.
Corridor : a corridor leading from a door in the Vat room toward the exit, it has 4 doors on the sides, one of which open
exit stairs: some stairs at the end of the corridor which go upward to the exit. At the end of them there is a sturdy steel door, few centimeters open but blocked. There is some light coming from the door
Storage room: a largish room with several crates in it. It looks like it was meant to hold more than that
Lounge: it is some kind of a lounge, that was probably also used as dining room. It has some tables, chairs, a TV, some computers in the opposite wall, probably for personal use, and a coffee selling machine in a corner.
Generator room: a big room with a ceiling higher than that of the other rooms you have seen till now. There are cables everywhere on the floor, there are shelves, tools, the floor is dirty but the first thing you see is the machine that fills the room from the center to the back. It is made of turbines and graphite chambers, it is a nuclear power plant, very small actually. there is a smaller generator in the room, that should be able to partially power the building. there are 4 fuel tanks on the floor. Some wires are exposed and the room is covered by fuel.
bedroom: There are 6 beds on each side of the room, for a total of 24 beds, everything in perfect order: blankets, pillows… for whatever reason they abandoned this place, it was planned. Or somebody wanted to cancel any proof or fight… there is no way to know. The air is moist, there is some water on the floor. The people who lived there probably had a way to humidify the air underground, and during the years a pipe must have broken, releasing some water; the piping must be broken in some other places since it didn’t flood the place: probably the pumps stopped working, or the water tanks evaporated. Why would people live here? This place must have been either very secret or very important to force workers to live in their workplace, possibly using work shifts to keep people working all the day and night, or were they prisoners? You can only guess what this place was, but maybe people left something behind them that could help you to understand. there is a diary on a bed, damaged by the (years?) and moist air
Control room: A big room with computers on all the sides, maps on the walls, blueprints, desks, notes and chairs ,paper bins that were never emptied, even some chewing gum on the floor(maybe RAM would like it?) a control room of some kind. There are 4 doors, including the one you entered from.
On a wall, the map of the building
Monolith dissection: At the center there is a … thing, a black, extremely flat, non-reflective cuboid whose dimensions are in the precise ratio 1:4:9. On its side it has a surprisingly neat and clean hole, much better than anything you could do with standard methods on standard materials. Inside, there is a great mass of electronic devices, the functions of most of them unknown not only by even the brightest minds on this world. It is put on some kind of huge operatory table, with wires connecting both inside and outside the black monolith. There are many computers on the wall, but all powered down, of course. Above the hole in the monolith, magnifying lenses, robotic arms with various tools and several other measuring instruments can be seen, used in the past to examine the monolith’s interiors, in an attempt to reduce danger of humans damaging something, despite it having shown to be nearly indestructible when needed.
sphere room You See, at the center of this room, a big steel sphere, raised by 4 steel pillars. There is a line in the middle, as if it was 2 hemispheres just pushed together. There is strange machinery on the sides, computer near the walls and wires everywhere. The computers are active.
The sphere was opened in turn 19, leaving many broken wires and bending the metal. Inside of it, a golem was found
