"I am NOT going to jail for 25 years!" Time to tear these robots apart with my bare hands.

Sorry for the lack of updates - I keep going to write one and getting distracted (mostly by things I'm already half an hour late for). It's been a busy week - but I should be able to eke one out today, and hopefully next week I'll be back on the every other day schedule.

Well, it is next week... and it'd be damned ironic if Roll To Die died before any of its players. :-\

Shhhh.... shhh... its all right.

It just turns out I managed to roll a 1, three times when attempting to update. Hilarious sequences of occurrences conspired to make said updates impossible. But guess what I'm working on right now? Do it. Just guess.

blackdutchie attempt to hurl the weapons scattered around him at the waiting enemies.
Grab many weapons from the pile of corpses, as many as i can hold at once, then throw them at the enemy ranks in graceful arcs. Continue until most enemies are dead.
Rolls a... 6!
Spinning and raising his weapon, blackdutchie slams it hard into the ground. The shock throws up the corpses and weapons of those around him into the air, and time seems to slow down as the cloud of debris, weapons, and corpses rise up around him. With a rending of flesh, he continue his spin as tentacles burst from his back, dozens of them whipping out to strike and grab at the objects in the air, only to send them hurtling outwards into the enemy army at a lethal velocity.
As the enemy falls away, blackdutchie leaps from the cloud as it begins to settle back to earth, his actions still to fast for the average soldiers to catch, a weapon now clutched in each of his tentacles, rushing towards a single, standing, shocked survivor, jamming his clawblade into the mans gut, and then kicking him to the ground as the corpses behind him land with a wet thud.
Turning, he is surprised at what he sees...

SHADOWdump attempts to order his troops to stand back. He's gonna take blackdtuchie down mono-e-mono.
Rolls a... 3.
His mount rushing forward, he goes to order his troops, but finds it is already to late - a mealstrom of blades and corpses fell his warriors by the dozens, and those not killed immediately are already fleeing in a panic.
Rolls to dodge... 3.
A few of the flying weapons catch glancing blows on SHADOWdump and his mount, but his heavy armor absorbs the brunt of the damage.
SHADOWdump takes 3 damage
As the cloud of corpses descends and the vollow of weapons ceases, he notices blackdutchie has emerged for a slightly more personal kill.
With that he approaches, urging his mount forward, and makes a leaping dismount, taking a nice big puff of his cigar upon landing. blackdutchie turns to him...
CONFLICT!
SHADOWdump rolls a... 1!
blackdutchie rolls a... 1!
Strike after strike is launched. Strike after strike deflected. With a swing, SHADOWdump shatters two of blackdutchies weapons. With a lash, his legs are tangled and he loses the initiative. But he catches the weapon flying at him between his hands, wrenching it from the tentacle.
The two combatants are equally skilled, and soon both are exhausted. Struggling for breath, they realize they have been fighting for hours, among the corpses and the ice. They look each other in the eyes, then drop their weapons and walk towards each other. A firm handshake, a small hug and a pat on the back, and then a few, brief words.
"Damn good." says SHADOWdump.
blackdutchie merely nods, and grins.


IronyOwl decides to fly over and ride his meat golem!
He rolls to gather magical energy for attempting to fly...
Rolls a... (1) 4!
Suddenly, he realized why his last spell failed. The golem he created, improperly controlled, is still linked to his magic. As the beast turns towards him, he can feel it reaching into soul, grabbing a hold of the magic being summoned, and begins to drink it dry.  As he watches, it grows bigger and more powerful, swelling with energy its dragging through him.
IronyOwl attempts to resist the creatures spiritual hold!
Rolls a... 2.
You try to resist the creatures pull, and then try to simply banish the magic, or even make it backfire. Nothing helps. The course of the magic being channeled through you speeds up, as the creature gets stronger and draws it through you ever harder. Your body begins to burn, tearing itself apart trying to contain the magical energies being drawn through it, made all the worse by how easily it flows through you.
IronyOwl has unlocked a hidden potential! His mythical nature allows him to eschew the ordinary limitations of a mortal being, giving him a chance at looking death in the face and turning away.
IronyOwl attempts to resist death!
Rolls a... 3.

As his body collapses, IronOwl struggles to abandon it, leaving it to its fate. But the pull of the magic is too strong - even as he flees his mortal shell, the flood of magic drags him towards the meat creature like a plastic bag into a jet engine. In moments, he merges with the creature and loses himself to maelstrom of magic and the cacaphony of souls that empower it.

IronyOwl has died!

eclipsetail attempts to jump into the water!
Rolls a... 5.
You struggle as best you can to resist the paralysis, stumbling away from the dwarves and towards the lake, trapped in fever dream and stupor. You imagine they are trying to kidnap you - you've heard the stories of dwarves throwing your people into cages for their own sick amusement! Lurching, barely able to control your body, you stumble into the water, and promptly begin to sink like a stone. You push yourself harder, ignoring the poison, trying to propel yourself through the water on sheer force of will...
Rolls a... 1!
But it does you no good. You sink down, down, pas the glowing ground, bouncing off of a sharp rock into a dark tunnel.
eclipsetail is drowning!
You don't know how much longer you can hold your breath in your burning lungs. And you can feel the water moving, as if something large is passing quite close to you...
eclipsetail  takes 1 point of damage from drowning!


diablous lets out a yell, and charges the robots trying to apprehend him.
"I am NOT going to jail for 25 years!" he says, jumping forward with all intent to tear these robots apart with his bare hands.
Rolls a... 1!
As he leaps forward, the nearest robot casually raises his arm, firing two small darts attached to metal wires. With a jerk, diablous's world turns to agony, his body spasms, and when he wakes, he is in a small, dimly lit concrete room, a four foot cube, his body in pain from the electricity, and having been stuffed in here in such an awkward position.
diablous takes 1 point of damage

Evergod41 attempts to scan the horizon once more to refresh his memory, whilst also destroying the rest of this pitiful town!
Rolls a... 2!
He scans the horizon, noticing nothing of real interest. Perhaps the small ocean opposite him in the sphere? Another city lies not too far away. Some sort of factory a ways away seems to be the destination of those sun skimmer blimps. Well, he'll deal with figuring out what to do next after he finishes destroying this...
What's that weird wooshing sound?
Evergod41 rolls to dodge a missile!
Rolls a... 3!
Dodging to the side, the missile rushes past him, too close for comfort. And then, perhaps a dozen feet later, it explodes. Knocked backwards from the blast, torn and bloody from the shrapnel and tumbling through the sky, he tries desperately to figure out what the hell is going on, knowing his life is on the line.
Evergod takes 3 points of damage!
Rolls a... 3.
Still disoriented, he loses control of his flight, and plummets uncontrolled into the city below. Crashing into the ground, bloody and broken, he still struggles to his feet.
Evergod41 has unlocked a hidden potential! The shape and nature of his body causes him to take far less damage from falls.
Evergod41 takes 1 points of damage!
As he does so, a large flying robot lands opposite the rubble of the building he crashed into. A monster of a mecha, with several missile launchers and other heavy weaponry, it aims it's weapons at the struggling Evergod41.
"You've killed for the las time, monster! This ends NOW!" comes a voice crackling over the robots loudspeaker. "You can't hope to stand up to the power of the Experimental Robot Mecha W1-1473 Ver. M4N!!!!"

We have a winner, and there can be only one! Other players can choose to continue playing however, or use this as an opportunity to retire gracefully!

Okay, since someones won, I'm going to finish this game by giving everyone else FREE CRITICAL FAILURE ROLLS until they die!

Blackdutchie attempts to dig through the ice, trying to discover how he got here.
blackdutchie rolls a... 1!
Underneath the ice he finds only the void, and as he looks into the void, the void looks back into him. The void attempts to suck in Blackdutchie! Blackdutchie attempts to resist!
Void rolls a... 6
Blackdutchie rolls a... 1
But blackdutchie is sucked in! To make matters worth, the hole he'd dug was only a couple inches wide, meaning the sides of his body are scraped away against the sharp edges of the ice, and then sucked in after him.
Blackdutchie takes lethal damage!
Blackdutchie is dead!


SHADOWdump looks down and says, "Well, sucks to be him. Haha! Get it? Sucks?"
He is then also sucked into the void. He tries to resist...
SHADOWdump rolls a... 1 but he fails miserably, and suffers the same fate Blackdutchie did.
[color=redSHADOWdump takes lethal damage!
SHADOWdump is dead![/color]

eclipsetail attempts to dive deeper!
eclipsetail rolls a... 1!
but instead he just floats where he is. At first, he's afraid he's going to drown, but in short order the jaws of the cave crocodile reach from the darkness to engulfy him. eclipsetail tries to fight off the cave crocodile!
eclipsetail rolls a... 1
cave crocodile rolls a... 3
Unfortunately, he's still pretty paralyzed, and only manages to breath in some more water before he gets bitten and shaken by the creature.
Eclipsetail takes 1 point of damage from drowning!
Eclipsetail takes 5 points of damage from the cave crocodile, and all the holes its made in him!

eclipsetail has been KOed!

Evergod yells out "USE MY PHEONIXY POWERS TO BECOME AN UNSTOPPABLE INFERNO THAT WILL RACE ACROSS THE LANDS INCINERATING EVERYTHING!!!!!"
Evergod rolls a... 1
But barely manages to stand, not even getting into the air with his attempt to fly. The robot promptly fires a barrage of missiles and bullets at him.
Evergod rolls a... 1
WHATEVERMAN rolls a... 2
Evergod manages to fly from the ground at the last moment in a frantic burst of energy, but although he manages to avoid the bulk of the exposion, he is still riddled with bullets and shrapnel.
Evergod41 takes 3 points of damage.
Evergod41has been killed!


Diablous attempts to conjure a magic explosion to destroy this cell and allow him to escape!
Rolls a... 1
Bit then he remembers that he has no idea how to use magic. Luckily, a few robots stop by and lead him out.
Luck roll...
Rolls a... 1
Because his sentence has been upgraded to EXECUTION.
He doesn't realize this until the robots close the door on him in a new room and the temperature starts to rise.
Diablous has been cremated.
Diablous is dead!
