Turn 13: Nothing bad happens
"Anyone want to sample the local food? I'm not certain these mushrooms are completely safe, though, so go easy on them if you try them."
Eat food. Give second serving to whoever wants it. Start collecting firewood, but stay near the machine. Slowly snack on the mushrooms until noon.
I'm sure it'll be fine. If not, we have future-drugs.
You eat the berries[6]. You suddenly feel much more aware of your surroundings.( increased awareness+1 for 2 turns). You look around for some firewood[2+1]. You find some dry sticks.
Having observed the town, go back to the Airship/TM (whichever is more convenient) to get some food, then ask for volunteers (Interested Andric? to come with me to meet the mayor - thier house is on fire and they would probably be happy to see random dimension jumpers with huge guns.
[3] You succesfully make it back to the T.M., where you eat one of the rations.
Eat food, then use my last unknown gadget.
[6] You eat the berries Nirur offered, and get a similair effect.(increased awareness+1 for 2 turns)
[5] The gadget contained 5 rechargeable batteries and a charger
Capture and tame the angry badger. It might come in useful as a magician's familiar.
After a long and hard battle, you manage to tame the badger.( Details were lost when the update was eaten, but it involved a lot of sixes and a skillup).
However, you got lost in the forest during the fight. You notice a small cottage, overgrown with plants, in the distance.[6]
((Didn't the painkillers wear out now?)) Yes they did.
Eat some of those rations then set the leftovers in the T.M.
"Partly incapacitated and with nothing to do as the others go out into this strange new era. I really wish I had a crutch to hold me up. Well, at least I made something work!" Tyrin looked at the stalwart guard, standing right next to the T.M. "I wonder what else it runs on?"
Then, aid the rest around me in the search for food and basic materials that could be improvised for later on. (Like wood.)
"Why did none of those high-tech crates contain a simple knife?"
(All obscure references are completely RP. Not complaining about the lack of knives or crutches. Also, shouldn't there be a 'defense' addition in the T.M. status? The ever-on Clockwork Guard I made should be guarding it.)
[3-2] Try as you might, it doesn't look like you're up to doing something this turn.
> Make a few last observations, then retreat to the TM. Get some food. I'm not picky.
[1] You got lost in the forest. It's dark and you can hear things moving,but you can't see anything.
Try to find some foodstuffs
[2] You don't find anything.
