(5) You manage to struggle free of the guards and sprint to a safe distance before tossing a knife at one! (5 + 1 = 6) The throwing knife zips through the air, slitting a guard's throat! It then travels around the group of guards like a boomerang. It (5) Slits another throat, (Three 6's in a row!) decapitates three more (!), (4) slices open the last guard's arm, and (2) narrowly misses a random bystander. It then flies back into your hand. Holy crap.

RW: Poke main deck button. Force Monk to stay in one corner. Huddle in the opposite corner, making sure I have plenty of meat shields. Spider: Return to Normal function

FW: Unlock other prisoners doors, if any, then run to the ship while motioning to them to follow me.

If someone dies in the fantasy world, their explosive collar goes off in the real world. And you're all huddled in an elevator...

Yeah.

OHGOD I FORGOT THE EXPLOSIONS

Meta: take cover, ready to shank hostiles in elevator door

Fantasy: drag monk to saftey; beg party to help

[so, i'm having my tonsils out in... 6.5 hours, and I'll be in the hospital overnight ><. I likely won't be able to post for... def. 2 days, prob not for 3. NPC me, or, if necessary, blow me up - I just ask that if I do, I die in epic fashion. Preferably to save the party. Or blow up the ship,whatever.]

I sure have been enjoying watching this play out. Interesting story, just about the right level of crazy, and I love the soundtrack. It's a neat idea, and the selections have been great. (I have to admit I'm particularly curious what would play if an explosive collar goes off in the elevator next turn!) I am, of course, totally rooting for you guys, but this seems like a good time to get on the waiting list. ;D

I've wanted to join for a while, but I couldn't figure out what to do for a character. I thought of rolling a d6, but unfortunately only had three make that four five possibilities to choose from. (Huh. Maybe if I spend long enough editing my post I can make it a full 6!)

Meta: Bernard
Occupation: Starving Artist (Classical Musician)
Description: Average height, appears to be in good condition. For someone who is, you know, starving.

Fantasy: Philippe Lepoisson
Occupation: Cultural Attache
Description: A minor diplomat from nowhere in particular. Totally unimportant.

So it turns out that dumping magma on skeletons is either a really bad idea or maybe like the best idea ever.

Well, thanks! My favorite RTD's to read are the ones that are neither too random nor too realistic. Just an over-the-top action movie with a vaguely defined story for structure. That's what I was trying to duplicate with this. And there's a whole lot more music where that came from. ;D
I probably shouldn't mention it, but I've noticed a few minor errors and typos. Feel free to ignore me--I know my inner play-tester and proofreader can be highly annoying.
• (inventory) Didn't the pebble in HighEndNoob's inventory explode harmlessly back in Turn 8?
• (inventory) Likewise, isn't Monk's energy shield flying around out of control, either in the hangar or space?
• (locations) It's possible that the hangar being open to space is more important than the drones having scrambled, especially since the surviving drones are now lost in space. :)
• (elevator controls) "Compromised"
I'm incredibly anal about spelling and continuity errors, and I've caught as many as I could. Thanks for pointing those out, I fixed them. I think I'll keep the pebble since, you know, it's a pebble. Picking one up isn't notable enough to prevent me from retconning it into existence. And you might want to look at the elevator controls again, there's no o that I could see.

Alright, added!

Looks like everyone's posted, I'll have an action in the morning after I... sleep...

If we're pointing out errors, technically I should still have a missing arm (unless that healed with the heavy bleeding...)

Er... I must have deleted that somehow. Your arm disappeared again.

Whoever wants to take bowdown's action until he gets back can, it's preferable to NPCing him.

**********~
Turn 17
**********~


META TURN:

Monk's collar could go off soon!

Goals
Find the keycard stations.

Current Soundtrack
Elevator Music

Actions
Meta: Force Monk into a corner, and press Main deck Button, than throw Monk out
(...) Your mind is gripped with horror as you realize that Monk's explosive collar could go off at any second. Acting quickly, you press the main deck button and throw Monk onto the main deck before mashing the door close button.
RW: Poke main deck button. Force Monk to stay in one corner. Huddle in the opposite corner, making sure I have plenty of meat shields. Spider: Return to Normal function
You shield yourself from the inevitable blast and hide in the corner while ordering the mecha-spider to return to normal function. Kyle shoves Monk into the hallway and closes the door behind him.
Meta: Find a way to use readily available materials to direct the force of my explosive collar in such a way to preserve the lives of my companions.
(...) You thrash around on the floor, failing to do much.
Meta:Exit on the main deck, looking for the medical wing.
(...) You exit the elevator as Kyle tosses out Monk, and look down the hall. You can't see much, but it looks like the walls are covered in the same circuitry from the interrogation room. And there's... blood on the floor.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Meta: take cover, ready to shank hostiles in elevator door
(...) You ready yourself for the worst, and brace for an explosion! Kyle tosses Monk out of the elevator though, which makes you feel better.

Still alive! Is my health screen up to date?

And if nobody has any better ideas, I'll just ride Bowdown around like a horse until my legs are healed.
