Turn 3IronyOwl(3)(1) The stranglers, while intimidating, are not particularly adept in the art of mauling things. While they inflict a few gashes and tear an ear slightly, the elephants' thick skin confounds them. Two start fighting among themselves over who gets to eat them, seemingly ignoring the fact that there is more meat on those elephants than either of them could ever eat before it started rotting. (5) They somehow manage to gut one another simultaneously with their bare hands. They collapse, twitching. (5) You do an amazingly accurate imitation of an elephant's hunting cry. The two conscious elephants are roused to action, (3) injuring one of the remaining stranglers with their tusks. Now for healing. (5) Not only do you manage to stop the blind elephant dying with palm fronds or something, you somehow transplant the eyes of a dead strangler into his eye sockets by tying them neatly to the optic nerves. You now have an elephant with tiny red eyes, who looks even more like an unstoppable engine of death than before. You ignore the kobold completely, because you are a very focused person. (6) Surgery that should be completely impossible finished, you wake the elephant up by reminding it rather forcefully of its unstoppable nature. Perhaps that was unwise. You have awoken the FURY OF THE PACHYDERM! (1) Unfortunately, its tiny brain can't take that much fury after all the previous excitement. It promptly keels over. But man, is it going to be furious when it wakes up.
techno65535(2) You fail completely to inspire loyalty in your henchdwarves. But that's okay because they weren't actually traitors. Your yelling has them slightly perturbed, however. (5) You seem to be very good at using the promise of victuals to motivate your crew. Henchdwarves Gamma and Delta wrestle a strangler into the cage trap fearlessly, and proceed to replace the cage before the other can react. (1) Eventually, the other one gets his act together and charges at henchdwarf Delta. Gamma sticks his foot out and trips him. He tumbles straight into the newly-primed trap.
You now have a pair of evil monkeys. Good for you, I guess?
The Ramstein collides with you! You escape damage, but you're knocked off-course... (4) You wrestle your car back onto the road with few difficulties.
ErrolYour spirit and your fortress soar on the wings of eagles! (6) The bonobos... also soar on the wings of eagles. Eagle. They're stealing one of your eagles! There are but two eagles remaining to hold you up. (1) The sentient eagle shakes its head and flies up for another go to rescue its brother from the depredations of the undead. It does a one-eighty degree loop this time, and hits its head on the very same section of amour plating. (6) Your henchdwarf, meanwhile, continues his quest to display initiative. He grabs hold of the harness as the monkeys release it, climbs up the rope with his teeth clenched, and engages in thrilling hand-to-hand combat with the zombies, eventually throwing them both off. Flushed with victory, he rides the winds joyously and snatches a skeletal chimp from the air before he realizes that the eagle he's riding is probably better used in actually pulling the fortress. He starts heading back, with a dead monkey thrashing in the eagle's grip.
SHAD0WdumpBahaha! (5) Your driving skills are impeccable. Your henchdwarf pours more booze on the fire, and you artfully nose your rocket machine over to the other side of the road, where your nemesis waits. (1 + 1 - 1) You... bounce right off him. Lousy goddamn stupid steel spikes. It's like they're made of rubber. You knocked him off-course a bit, but he managed to recover. (5) You praise your henchdwarf's honesty as you drive. His eyes widen. How did you find that out? He is now convinced you can read his thoughts! He attends to the rocket, severely shaken. He will never conspire against you again. (1) However, he is too shaken to make efficient use of booze. You continue at the same pace as the General Lee. This won't end well...
Paranatural(1) The spiders turn about and run in terror. Or they would be running in terror, but they have [NOFEAR] so they must be running away for their own inscrutable purposes. But they're spiders, they don't have many purposes beyond food, and you're food to these particular spiders. So who knows why they're running. Anyway, (2) you set your cats on the spiders but they recoil in fear because phantom spiders are scary and don't die easily so they sometimes bite while in the digestive tract. (3) You set a kitten on Igor, which meets with slightly more success, but Igor is scary too. Plus he's cute. He's less cute after his face is scratched though.
Your kittens are now grown.
Stray cat (Tame) has given birth to kittens.
Stray cat (Tame) has given birth to a kitten.wolfchild(1) Turns out being dead doesn't do very much for your depth perception. Every single one of the chimpanzees trying to swing onto your vehicle falls to the ground, and a couple of them fall apart from the impact. You are victorious! (1) But your pathetic attempts to calm the eagles merely enrage them. (6) They begin tearing apart your vessel in search of treats! Great rents begin to appear in the armour. (1) The kobold's hiding spot is revealed, and he makes a desperate attempt to strike back before he is devoured whole. You're in trouble. What are you going to do now, Urist?
Frelock(6) The phantom spiders infest every nook, cranny and fissure in your vehicle. Before you can even open your nonexistent windows, there are spiders crawling all over you! You flinch, and a couple of them are startled. You have been bitten, and are paralyzed. That's not good. Igor looks on helplessly, but Paranatural's cats are too slow to match you and nobody is going any faster. On the bright side, your engine requires no input from you. Unfortunately, you are listing slightly to the right. If this trend continues, then in a little while your vehicle won't be looking as pristine as it does now. You may not choose actions for yourself at present, but Igor can still act as normal.
CommentsDear me. Some of you guys are pretty unlucky. The eagle guys aren't doing too well. And this vendetta between Shadow and techno is going to have dire consequences, eventually.
