Which has finally given in and broke.

You guys will hit the bottom within the day if you're unlucky (lucky).

[Tarran]

Slightly bad news:

While I was making the turn, I was playing around with a program from Asus (Named TurboGear) that came with my computer and supposedly would've let me underclock my computer (since it's getting kinda hot around here). It appeared to work a bit, until I ran a video for a few minutes and it crashed the computer with a hardware BSoD.

I tried to start it up, but it failed several more times until I switched my computer back to underclocked and back to normal in time before it crashed.

Unfortunately, the turn was lost in the process. Which was nearly done with most of the actions. So I won't be uploading a turn tonight, since I neither want to rewrite the turn or trust my computer's stability. However, it's working so far, so there's some good news. I'll get the turn up tomorrow. Hope for me that my computer doesn't crash again!

And to think Wikipedia said underclocking had more stability.

[IronyOwl]

 

Well, good luck.

[Tarran]

Thanks.

Right now, it seems to be pretty stable, thankfully. So I'd say it's stable enough. I still have to shut down and try rebooting, though.

I'm so going to label a "DANGER" or something on the shortcut to TurboGear from now on. Jeez, it was scaring the crap out of me that some of my actual hardware was becoming faulty and/or I would be forced to use Safe Mode (Which is tough because I need to use my laptop's normal monitor--which is broken--to do pre-windows boot stuff).

[SeriousConcentrate]

*shakes head* That's horrible, man. Hopefully it's still stable in the morning, regardless of whether or not you write the turn. It'd suck to have you disappear until you could get it fixed.

[Tarran]

Eh, don't worry, I won't disapear if this computer kicks the bucket: I have all my passes on a USB and I also have plenty of other computers. So the only way to get rid of me is a nuke or a EMP bomb.

....

In other news, that sucks.

[Tarran]

But, on the bright side, I don't think that'll be a problem anymore because the computer booted up just fine today without crashing on the first try.

So, with luck and lack of entertainment for me, turn will be posted in a few hours.

Well I'm running a turn...

So you'd better if you don't want those wounds of your to develop a nasty infection.

[Tarran]

Do remember that I have an entire town ready to wreck your day if I want. >_>

[IronyOwl]

Not if Darvi has anything to say about it.

Not that it'll matter in that case, seeing as we'll all be part of the greater whole.

[Draignean]

Ah well at least Arzhog will get some gory glory...

I however could tell Taric that all bets are off and he can go nuts if I REALLY wanted to torture you.

Taric, he's more of a threat than a mob made of mutants, mages, and kickass russians.

[Tarran]

As last time before when I lost a turn a while in, everything with a * is remembered. I might not have the actual rolls, but I still remember the results.

Also, yes, I took way too long. Blame the LPArchive for existing.

Pass out on horizontal object in the town hall

*You sleep soundly on the hard wooden floor.

...

Uh... yeah, wonderful.

-1 Chaos.
+Status: Unconscious.

DANCE!

*You dance, rolling some roll that's so low that you knocked yourself unconscious.

...That's about it. Unless you want me to make me type in some flavor text about you soiling yourself or something like that.

+Status: Unconscious.

Ask whoever's inside/in charge of the town hall if I could maybe leave some of my stuff in there for safekeeping. Maybe point out how nice it'd look on the walls for a while if they seem doubtful.

Also get quest stuff.

*You succeed on the first part. With a 6, I believe, which actually gets past out the -2 penalty.

You also get questy stuff. The same stuff Dwarmin and Serious got some time back. About 4 turns ago. That I'm not in the mood to go searching for.

-1 Chaos.
+3 Conversation skill.
Now Novice in Conversation.
Level up! Pick 4 attribute points.

Ashton, too, headed inside to ask about joining the raid.

"Alllright, go to the Guard Barracks and look for Ilos. She'll fill in the details."

Ash, Tal:
Main quest: Accurarwa Tribe Raid:
  Go find Ilos.

Get someone to heal me at least a bit, then follow the rest.

*You rolled so horribly on the Conversation roll with all your penalties (I think you rolled a 1 and had -4 penalties...), you lost 3 HP via random Stoning villagers that are no longer there.

-1 Chaos.
-3 HP.

Omega chaos nuke Darin.

*You roll so horribly that you gain 39 Chaos. You got a initial roll of 5, so you know you really casted something impossible for your skill level if you got a roll of 0...

*New mutation: Incoherent sentences: You find it harder to make coherent sentences-- -1 to conversation.

[Good/bad: 6, large trade-off][Strength: 6, huge change][Mental/Physical: Mental][Passive/Active: Passive]: Locked knowledge: You find it impossible to learn new things now for some reason, but can extremely easily recall any past events-- Unable to level up skills, +1 bonus to Beginner skills (negates penalty) and 1/2 chance for +1 to Novice skills, x2 bonus multiplier for other higher-leveled skills.

+39 Chaos.
-1 HP.

New mutation: Lighter bones.
New mutation: Missing fingers.
New mutation: Locked knowledge.

Yeah, that's what you get for trying to commit suicide.

Stop the internal bleeding in Joseph's... mess... restrain him telling him he needs to rest?

You attempt to help the man, but an explosion of raw chaos radiation (and me wanting to punish him) stops you. Why is he trying to cast an obviously too-high-of-a-level spell anyway?
