[Orb]

So I came to a conclusion recently. I love planning out forum games, but hate executing them over weeks on end. I am sure this is true of other GMs, since I have seen almost none of our forum games end.

The Solution?

Fast Adventure

I will create a quick forum adventure. You can either reach quick glory and riches, or horrible death. Once you die, I will create another forum adventure and so on. I will record our successes and fails in the OP. I may occasionally do a dice roll.

Game One: Terrible, Terrible Day

Goal: Get out of the city...alive.


Your girlfriend broke up with you today, you lost your job, and you're out of Pringles. 

Oh, and your mother got eaten by a zombie.

You are in the kitchen of your house. You are sad. You just killed a zombie recently. Its corpse rots on the kitchen floor. You are wielding a steak knife. You have minor scratches.

You see:
The Basement Door
A Dead Zombie
A Fridge
The Back Door(Outside)
A Sink
Hallway to the Living Room
Various Cabinets and Drawers

You hear a moan from the basement door. Father must be crying about mother's death. In all the excitement you forgot your name. What is your name? Hm.

Quest 1: What is your name?

You have an actual name. I'm not asking you to create a character sheet

[Orb]

Reserved

[Sirus]

you're name

Clearly we're named Name.

[Orb]

Ah yes! You're....name. No. That doesn't feel quite right. It feels like some mythical being is trying to mess with you.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Woops. Silly typos.

[Furtuka]

Your name is Typo

[Sirus]

Ah yes! You're....name. No. That doesn't feel quite right. It feels like some mythical being is trying to mess with you.

Woops. Silly typos.

Just teasing

I'd go with Typo, unless we have a birth certificate in one of the cabinets.

[Orb]

Update 1

To Zombie Hell with your old name! It is a zombie apocalypse after all. Who cares? You christen yourself...Typo.

Quest 1: Partial Success!

Now what?

[terkiey]

Go down into the basement and stab dad til' he stops moving, because he is clearly moaning because he is a zombie.

[Sirus]

Try to talk to him, first. He may not be zombiefied (yet)

[Furtuka]

Raid the fridge and get some comfort food for dad

[Orb]

Update 2

You raid the fridge. You know just what will make Dad happier.

Obtained: One greasy hamburger.

You open the basement door.

Dad?

You turn on the light.

You see:

Stairs heading down to the basement
Dad, hunched over the raw Thanksgiving turkey, that was for tomorrow, eating it.
A Flashlight.
A Ring of Keys
A Sledge Hammer(Dad always did like to do his own Home Improvement)

Uh. You wonder why Dad is so hungry. Then it hits you a little later than it should have. Dad's a zombie! 

And boy, is he rip. Zombification can be like steroids you suppose.

Dad hasn't noticed you.

All the items in the basement are at the bottom of the stairs

[MonkeyHead]

Apply liberal amounts of sledgehammer to the back of his head.

[Furtuka]

Throw the hamburger to distract him

[Orb]

Apply liberal amounts of sledgehammer to the back of his head.

 

I forgot to mention the items are at the bottom of the stairs. You'll have to sneak past dad to get them.

[Orb]

Update 3

You throw the hamburger to distract him, and attempt to sneak down the stairs.

Sneak Check

You sneak past your dad, though you can tell he is aware of your presence.

Obtained: Sledge Hammer

Oh god its heavy. You are starting to wish you worked out more often.

Strength Check

You just barely swing it at Dad. You can't reach his head, but you do knock him down. He seems pretty angry, now.

What should you do?
