And turn 3:

>jump into gap and then fly out dramatically!
Result: 5
You decide that this is an excellent moment to test your flying abilities. You look down into the deep, deep gap and perform an excellent dive...

before faceplanting into the glass floor. Thankfully, you didn't break it. The floor, that is, your nose is pretty broken.
-2 health
Well, at least this means you can just walk over to the ladder and climb up to the roof.

Free number 13! By chewing the guards eyes out!
Result: 3
You run up to the guard and bite at his face. Instead of the soft flesh you were expecting, your teeth find cold, hard steel. You still manage to leave some marks on its robotic face, though. And some teeth, too.
-1 health
The guard calls for reinforcements, not willing to let go of Lordinquisitor to fight you. Two more guards come running towards you.
 
Go underwater, looking for a coral reef.
Result: 4
You dive underwater and find a coral reef. It is quite pretty. Congratulations.
Effect discovered: Fast Learner ( 2 actions gain a level )
Level gained: Swimming, level 1

I sit and meditate.
Result: 3
You close your eyes and sit perfectly still. You get pretty close to obtaining enlightenment, but are rudely interrupted by the ceiling falling on your head.
-5 health

I equip my chainmail, then enchant it with a rune of shattering, so that anything that hits it shatters.
Rule 5: When using magic, there are 2 rolls;
One for the magic to actually do anything ( 1 and 2 means no, 3-5 means yes, and 6 means that whatever happens...happens more.
The second roll determines the actual outcome.


Magic roll: 5
Result: 3

You write the rune on your chainmail, but it doesn't seem to be working too well. You punch yourself, but instead of your fist shattering it just stings a little.
Try to free myself. Somehow. If i suceed i will throw myself at the guard and will try to eat him. I scream the whole time "Satan est potestas!" and "brains!", constantly switching between the two.
Result: 5
After seeing the effect Ochita's biting had on the guard, you immediately figure out that you are fighting a robot, and not an actual human being. Knowing this, you suddenly notice some strikingly obvious flaws in its structure. You free yourself from its graps and bite them in quick succession. Then, you move away from it and wait for what you know is going to happen.

As it comes running towards you, it loses its left arm. Then, its right leg. It falls to the ground, falling apart as it does so, and lands on the floor in pieces. Its head rolls towards you, sparks coming out of it as it stops just before your feet.

The other guards turn around and run away.

Grab pointed metal thing from guards wreckage, see that it is vastly better than mine. Slice off mine and replace it with the guards pointed metal thing. (I'm talking about my hand silly.)

So close...and the roof falls on me. A disaster of this magnitude has to be somebody's fault! I go to the police station to complain about this! With my fists!

Try to replace my legs with my arms. The corpse of the cop should yield enough bits for that easy self surgery. If i still have time i try to replace my brain with my heart.

If possible i also cut myself with my special ability.

BTW, if you don't get this reference to an obscure mini-comic by the creator of another mini-comic who was briefly the mascot of a vegetarian cafe, joo suxxor!

Result: 5
You cut off your "hand". It hurts a little.
-1 health
Now, normally, you could bleed to death from doing these things. But thankfully, that doesn't happen here. You glue the guards pointed metal thing in the place where your "hand" used to be.

It is indeed vastly superior. For one, it is pointed, which means stabbing people with it is now far more likely to be lethal. And it also has this feature that makes it shoot laserbeams at anyone who attacks you. Apparently, the guard had forgotten to turn it on.

So close...and the roof falls on me. A disaster of this magnitude has to be somebody's fault! I go to the police station to complain about this! With my fists!
Result: 6
You magically shrug off your injuries ( and the debris you were buried under ) and walk over to the police station. Inside, you decide that the desk they have is probably the best place for you to start complaining. But before you can get there, a guard walks up to you. He asks you: "What happened to you?"

As if they don't know already. They were probably in on it. You decide that this is a good a place to complain as any. Your punch sends him flying through the air and he crashes into one of the walls. The building starts shaking. It's obviously just as poorly constructed as the museum was. You grab one of the other guards and swing him into a second wall.

More guards arrive as the building starts crumbling down. You decide now would be a good time to get out of there, so you punch another hole in the wall next to you.
Dodge roll ( the first one in the entire RTD ): 2

You fall to the ground as you get hit by debris for the second time today.
-2 health
At least you're getting pretty good at this whole wrecking thing.

climb up and fly off! zoom, swish, i'm master man!
Result: 6
You climb up to the roof. From here you have a beautiful view of the city, not that you care of course. The only thing you care about is climbing up building and then jumping down them again.

You walk to the edge of the roof, take a deep breath and dive down. There's an instant where you're afraid you are going to fall to your death, but then you spread yours...wings? Yes, apparently you wanted to fly so bad, that you actually grew wings! Amazing!

Either way, you fly around for a bit, then land again on the square where you started, right in front of the now collapsed police station.
Effect gained: Wings ( has wings and can fly )

Eat a sea anemone or similar organism.
Result: 4
You eat a sea anemone. It's actually pretty disgusting. ( Sorry your rolls are so boring  :-\ )

Try to replace my legs with my arms. The corpse of the cop should yield enough bits for that easy self surgery. If i still have time i try to replace my brain with my heart.

If possible i also cut myself with my special ability.

Result: 2
You grab a sharp piece of metal from the corpse and start cutting off your arms.
-4 health
After you've cut off one arm, you stick the piece of metal in your mouth and start using it to cut off your other arm. It takes a while, but eventually you succeed. Now you move on to your legs...

but you can't reach them. Maybe if you had taken those yoga lessons, you wouldn't be having this problem right now. Either way, you're now lying on the floor, with no arms. You try to get back up, but you can't.

And no, you can't cut yourself. You have no arms!

Freezing rune on chainmail!
Magic roll: 1
You draw a pretty picture of a glacier on your chainmail, but utterly fail to channel any kind of magic whatsoever. Oh, and your picture is actually pretty ugly, too.

New: Deity of Impatience

this thread is very popular. you should let more people play  :D

I think I'll give the people in the waiting list a chance to influence the game somewhat, instead of just adding in another slot. Mostly because doing 7 rolls wouldn't be as interesting  :-\

So, I created the Deity of Impatience. There are 5 types of actions he starts with:
Weather
Elemental Spells
Mental
Monsters
Laws of Nature


In the first turn, you can't actually pick the result, it's randomly generated. But you can build on that first action in the second turn, where you can do things like combining two of the actions you had in the previous turn, or making the effect of an action stronger.

The first 4 people from the waiting list to post decide which of these types of actions happens where ( so, you post one type and one location ). For this first turn, you can't use a location that's already been used ( which makes 3 out of 5 of these almost useless, as there's nobody there now ). You can in the next turn, though.

I'll go first, though, because there's 5 this time and I want you to get used to there being 4 :P But mostly because I don't want you messing up the laws of nature in the city, though.

So: Laws of Nature, Mountains.

I'll roll for what kind of action each type gets next turn, but even if it is in an area where nobody currently is, you can still build on that action later, and use it in a different area, so it's good to have anyways.
