Meta: Examine explosive collar of self/others, whoever I can get the clearest view of.
Fantasy: Get Drunk as HELL

[Gatleos]

I wanted a sniper with a Katana on it's barrel, but whatever.

A loaded sniper rifle and the ability to make things explode when they hit people is basically the same thing. Just with the explosion on the other end.

Okay, one more then I'll post the next turn.

[HighEndNoob]

But I don't have a sniper, thats the thing.

[Gatleos]

Now might be an... erm, appropriate time to explain injuries. Here's how they work:
---------
Light Bleeding: 10 healing points.
Fracture: 20 healing points.
Heavy Bleeding: Requires medical attention and 20 healing points.
Broken Limb: Requires skilled medical attention, then 40 healing points.
Missing Limb: Never heals, obviously.
---------
You make a healing roll each turn after an injury has been sustained; the amount you roll is added to your healing points, and the wound disappears when you have enough. For major wounds (broken bone, heavy bleeding), you can't make healing rolls until you've received the appropriate medical attention.

I added this info to the OP.

Alright, this is... an interesting turn. Things have gotten off the ground. Also, there's a description of all locations you've visited under the player statuses.

Turn 1
**********~

META TURN:

You're all inside a small, well-lit room. It's cramped in here.

Goals
Get the hell out of wherever we are!

Current Soundtrack
Hive Tunnel

Actions

Real World (RW): Search for a door or other escape route)

(...) You have spontaneously gained universal knowledge of this room. There are three monitors on the front wall, the walls are covered in glowing circuitry, the floor is hard metal, and there's a door at the front of the room... DOOOOOR!! You charge at full speed toward the door and deliver a flying missile dropkick! The door appears to have been locked, but is sent flying off its hinges. Unfortunately, you fractured your left leg in the process. You can still walk, though.

Meta:  see if the room has any hidden buttons

(...) You find one and press it to see what happens.
"GET OFF MY INTERCOM FLESHBAG"
You step back sharply. Touchy.

Meta: Tweak the Odds

(...) You use Tweak The Odds.

Meta: Examine explosive collar of self/others, whoever I can get the clearest view of.

(...) You closely examine Frelock's collar. The collar appears to be quite resilient. It's locked on tight. Also, you notice two letters printed on the back: "BN".

Meta: complain about hows theres nos hospitalities

(...) There is no sympathy to be found. You're empty inside.

FANTASY TURN:

You are all in a generic-looking tavern, sitting around (and on) a table.

Goals
"KIDNAP THE MAYOR OF THIS TOWN AND ESCAPE"

Current Soundtrack
Labyrinth

Actions

Fantasy World (FW) Ask the bartender about the town.

(...) The bartender gives you a dirty look, but gives you a little information. Apparently, this town is under martial rule by the town guard after a recent riot. He doesn't seem to want to say any more.

Fantasy: Talk with someone to see if I can get any information about the town.

(...) You approach a female warrior sitting at the bar. She sighs heavily and puts down her drink, glaring at you.
"What do you want?"
"I was... er, just wondering if you could give me any info about this town."
"Hmph. All I know is that apparently there was a recent assassination attempt on the mayor. Now he's holed up in his manor by the town square."

Fantasy: Find someone in the tavern to gamble with.

(...) You spot a spiffy-looking guy in the corner. Looks rich. After several rounds of poker, you win quite a bit of gold and a pocket watch off of him.

Fantasy: Get Drunk as HELL

(...) You approach the bartender and demand a drink. When he asks for some money in return, you become enraged and swing a bar stool at his head. (...) You miss completely and hit the female warrior sitting at the bar in the face. You trip and fall on your back. The warrior stands up, curses at you, and attacks! (...) She lops your hand clean off! You howl in pain!

Fantasy:Ask around town about any other mad science-happenings.

(...) This place is too crazy! You duck out the front door and bump into a patrol of guards. They eye you suspiciously then continue. Doesn't look like there's much mad science going on here. You also feel empty inside.

[Dermonster]

Could you put our campaign goals into the thing too? Bit of a reminder.

Meta:Examine the hallway

Fantasy: Whack Edgar over the head, pick up his missing hand, and drag him out of the bar.

[Gatleos]

'Tis a good idea. It's added in now.

[Gatleos]

What was our rolls? were they in the ...'s?

Oh, yeah. I probably should have explained those. The roll is listed before the action it applies to, in one of these:
(...)
If any part seems confusing, just tell me.
They also show up in your status after abilities. Mouse over them to see what they mean, but the green ones mean the ability is active, the black ones tell you how many perfect uses are required to level the ability up, and the red ones tell you how much cool-down is left.

Into the queue.

Alright, you're in the queue!

Just waiting on three more, then the next turn can be posted.

[RedWarrior0]

I don't know about now, but the last time I used Internet Explorer, the little dotted underline wasn't there.

[Gatleos]

I don't know about now, but the last time I used Internet Explorer, the little dotted underline wasn't there.

That could be a big problem. My suggestion would be to test it in Firefox, but if there's another quick way to show the rolls and descriptions other than [acronym] tags, I'd like to know.

Yeah, I'm using Firefox at the moment. The acronym tag worked, just nothing showed anything about its presence. If you want to cut a few letters out, you can use [abbr] instead
