HURRAH FOR NOT PAYING THE INTERNET BILL YET SOMEHOW STILL GETTING INTERNET.

Pic is awesome, color is my favorite color, but my penchant to screw everyone over is somehow not represented.

I have noted that nothing ever good comes when a magician has that facial expression. Ever. Across any game I have ever played, any book I've read, any movie I've watched.
Concerning wizards...
An expression of hatred and malice is trouble, but an expression of gleeful ignorance is armageddon.

META TURN:

What happened here...?

Goals
Find the keycard stations.

Current Soundtrack
G.F.S. Olympus

Actions
Meta: Do what the voices in my head tell me to
(...) You enter the third door on the left, and sure enough there is a gaping hole in the wall. The partitions between the next three rooms have been demolished, so you walk to the end and exit through the furthest door. You're now on the other side of the pile of rubble. There are three hallways, so you take the one on the right and find another hallway lined with doors. One of the doors near the end of the hallway opens and a patrol of attack-bots steps out!
Meta: Follow someone important.
(...) You fall asleep, you narcoleptic, you.
RW: Go through the rightmost door
(...) You ride Marshall into the first door on the right, which is open.

...What? I'm not describing it again! It's the room Frelock went into last turn. Look it up! Jeez.
Meta: Look for more Janitor's closets
(...) Well, there's a trashcan over there. You root through it for a minute but don't find anything.
Meta: Pick a door no-one is going into at random, and go exploring.
(...) All the unlocked doors have been taken. So you bust down yet another door and go inside.

...Well, it's just another room. You root through the drawers in the desk and find a pencil and a box of cigars!

(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.

It's been bugging me, and I finally figured it out. Derm's sprite isn't walking like an egyptian, he's doing this dance!

That gets that out of the way. Turn on the way.

So... What happens when a broken leg reaches -40/40?

Also: Close call, Derm. You almost didn't do something horrifying this turn!

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

He doesn't need skilled medical attention to heal, just to heal properly. So he'll have a crooked leg.

Do you really want untrained medical attention from a guy who has a freaking arrow in his chest?

Also, shouldn't I have gotten a +1 to that dodge roll due to the armor?

Meta: Tweak the Odds, and find a weapon around here.

Fantasy: Grab the mayor, and using the spring shoes, fall gracefully down to the ground floor.  Ask Elica for healing.

...Yes. I keep forgetting that armor exists. It's being so quiet back there. And of course you still fail with the +1.
