Turn 21: Overhaul
Use the power of lies to fix the torched computer and while pretending to compile a report on ventalation to the Prison Inspection Agency look for juciy blackmail material to use.
6) Stuck in your own naïve world, you are convinced that lies cure everything. You go to the computer, sit down and say: “This computer is obviously not broken. It’s just a different model than all the other computers; a cutting edge model with tons of cool stuff on it.” As soon as you sit down, the computer blinks and starts running. It appears that you’ve convinced it well enough. You type in a random password, somehow getting it right. You come to the desktop with four icons on it: a folder labeled EXTREMELY ILLEGAL EXPERIMENTS, a movie that says SELF INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE, a picture that says EMBARRASSING PICTURE OF ME AT THE CHRISTMAS PARTY, and a text document titled HOW TO DELETE THE RECYCLING BIN.
Using my awesome throwing skills, throw the pole in the chest at the dragon.
4) okay, it's understandable that you'd like to throw the pole, but let's take a step back. The pole is still pinning you to the side of the building remember? You grab the base of the pole and try to yank it out, but it's firmly embedded. Pain flows over you just as much as frustration does.
6) You look nervously at the dragon to see if it's seen you yet. It hasn't. In fact, it's almost as if you're invisible.
Discover that my crown is razor sharp, then throw it like a boomerang at the hand. Then...ORDER MY PIGIONS TO ATTACK!
4) Stunned, you stare at the shiny gold, no
bronze, hand as it thrashes about from the portal that has been opened from the strange device. You watch as an unlucky pig gets crushed because of it’s flailing. Suddenly, anger flows through you, consuming you like white hot flames. These are your subjects, your people, and the duty of a king is to his people. You let out a primal yell and toss your crown at the beast’s hand. 2) it breaks against the metal hand as it waves back and forth. Still angry, you call out to your wards.
“My subjects! Turn your ears to your king’s voice!” you yell out. Every pig listens to you. “This monstrosity has decided to test our valiance! We shall beat it back as brothers and we will fight as one! We are together or we are dead! Every able bodied pig, female or male, old enough to fight and has the will to defend his or her brethren equip yourselves with haste and we shall go into battle with this hand, beat it back, and chase it to where it came from!!!”
Your words echo louder in the cave than the tremendous banging being brought on by megabeast. Each pig is touched and in no time, 40 pigs clad in bone armor arrive at your sides. You turn to your small army, which is just out of reach of the hand’s reach, in time to see 10 more pigs coming out clan in Goblinite armor menacing with spikes. One of them walks up to you and, with a twist of its head, tosses a short sword to you. You catch it easily. You look back to the hand, wanting to get to what it’s attached to. You ask yourself if you are ready for this. A few years ago you were convicted to life in prison for littering (you got a very very bad roll. A “-1”). you broke out and were hiding in that shack for a time. A few hours ago you were dying of dehydration. Now you’re suddenly the Pig King?
Regardless as to whether or not your life makes any sense at all, these are your people now and you are willing to give your life for them.
TO BATTLE!!!

(I think that this is my favorite turn so far. My old favorite turn was when Flint was facing off with the chain prophet near the fence.)
Find some paper and begin writing the pole bible as I cross the desert.
6) taking some parchment you find on the ground, you begin scribing the new Polish bible as you cross the dunes of the desert. Luckily the dragon doesn’t seem to notice you, but you keep a wary eye on it as you walk.
“...and so the Pole God proclaimed that He would forgive all those who worshipped those lesser metal gods if they would prove their faith. From all over, subjects of gods such as the one of chain, blades, wire, frying pans, and cars flocked to Him for the Pole God was the most pure and powerful...”
-an excerpt from
The Bible of PolesYou come across the ruins of a shack, but continue after a fruitful search for more paper.
“...Having seized the power of chains, the Pole God stood higher than all the other metal gods. He smiled upon his disciple, Flint, and did give to him some of His new power, so that he could spread the word of His greatness. And so Flint did do what He commanded...”
-an excerpt from
The Bible of PolesYou finally find that you have come to a large city. 3) there aren’t many people in the streets, but there are some. The buildings are not tall, but average in height for skyscrapers. You are currently in the suburbs, and can see that the tall tower that was on the horizon was actually in the middle of the city. It dwarfes all the other buildings around it.
Stand up, go through the hallway and open the red door.
4) Getting up wobbly, you decide to search the rest of the lab for another way out. You’re sick and tired of this place. Going back to the hallway with the three doors, you now go to the red door, throwing it open. A wave of heat rolls over you, causing you to tumble back. 2) You hit your head on the ground, making colors dance before your eyes. 5) Nai seems to like the heat. Maybe she’s a tropical plant.
The room beyond the door is enormous. Many small pools of magma sit on a rough, rocky ground around 10 feet below you, though it varies with the jagged, red stone. The ceiling is another 10 feet above you, and the door opens onto a metal walkway that’s part of a large web of walkways above the surface of this hell on earth. They sometimes come to an overhead room that is attached to the ceiling. You don’t see anything moving on the walkways or on the ground.

Locations a strange jail surrounded by a large stone fence with barbed wire at the top (with a hole in one place) with long hallways of jail cells. much of it is unexplored. The security room is behind an unlabeled door. in it are machines lining one wall with lots of tiny screens. sofas are on the other side. security is robotic and strange animals walk the halls. in one of the many halls there is a large hole going from the top floor to a strange laberatory underground. on the top floor there is a hall that continues through holes in the walls until it finally breaks the outer wall. there is a cafeteria.
A former laberatory located under the Prison. a hole is in the cieling and rubble is under it. their are scraps of strange machines everywhere and a large room with a melted glass wall lays in the front. the walls are scorched. a burned door is opposite the glass wall. behind the door is a hallway with three doors branching off.
Behind the blue door is
Behind the red door is an enormous room. Many small pools of magma sit on a rough, rocky ground around 10 feet below, though it varies with the jagged, red stone. The ceiling is another 10 feet above, and the door opens onto a metal walkway that’s part of a large web of walkways above the surface of this hell on earth. They sometimes come to an overhead room that is attached to the ceiling.
Behind the green door with a red "X" on it is a small room overun with plants. some of these plants have proven to be genetically altered and hostile
a large expanse of sand. with the ruins of an exploded decrepit house sitting between a very large prison on the horizon and a tall tower in the distance that is where the city is. there is a cave in the middle of it with a large pool and sleeping places in it.
a large city with average sized skyscrapers that is usually not crowded, though there is an EXTREMELY tall tower in the center. There are suburbs. The name is currently unknown.
Our map is getting bigger. YAY! I doubt that anyone will ever actually want to come back to the prison after they leave though. It’s a pretty thoroughly used location.
On a sidenote, I’m surprised with all the positive feedback I’ve just gotten from you guys. It’s comments like those that make me want to make this RTD even better.
So what do you guys think about replacing Maxicaxi?
