Roll to Dodge: Sci-fi Edition! 3iff's streak continues

[Jedo the Jedi]

Turn 6 Resolution:

MNO: 1

“Aha! I’m coming for you, you mutated lizards! I’m going to blow your damn brains out!” shouts Jack as he hurries to crawl through the hole he just made in the blast door. Unfortunately, he was a little reckless as he proceeded, and he fired his gun once more in the process. Very much unprepared for the forceful explosion, he flies backward and tumbles over the still prostrate security guard. The sound reverberating off the narrow end of the corridor is too much even for Jack, and he becomes disoriented as he is temporarily deafened.

Jack has temporary hearing loss and is therefore disoriented. He will be at a -1 for all actions for the next two turns.


Elethiomel: 6

Dee groans as he contemplates the bear trap attached to his hand. “I see now I shouldn’t have kept this in there. At least it didn’t clamp onto something else in the process of drying off earlier this morning,” muses Dee. As he looks around for some way to remove the trap, his eyes land on Plato still licking up the blood on the floor. “Plato, why don’t you make yourself useful and use your laser implant to cut this thing off me?”

“Mew?”

“You heard me. Just don’t accidentally cut off my hand, kapish?” Plato fires up his implant, but because he’s still wet from the bathroom floor, the implant short circuits and blows little cat parts all over the kitchen. Horrified and burned, Dee lets out a blood-curdling scream, but at least the trap was destroyed in the process.

Dee has second-degree burns on his hand and is no longer accompanied by Plato. Dee is still at a -1 for all actions requiring manual dexterity until his hand is wrapped.


novice: 1

Zip forgot to clap on the lights because he’s a dumbass. He runs into the wall and dislocates his shoulder.

Zip has a dislocated shoulder. His carrying capacity is appropriately diminished until he relocates his shoulder in its socket.


Monk: 1

“Oh bloody hell bollocks arse damn! I’m never going to make any progress like this. My wrist hurts, I can’t walk well on my injured leg…Somebody just get out here and give an old chap some assistance! I don’t see a buggered thing around here that I can use to fix myself.” bellows Reggie. Suddenly, something strikes Reggie in the neck. “What the bloomin’…” as he trails off into sleep. Shortly, a small, dainty figure exits the far door, drags Reggie into the back room, and chains him to a bed. Then gives Reggie the antidote and watches him come around.

Event: Reggie is chained to a bed in a strange room with an unknown person.


3iff: 3-2=1
Sentran: 3

Meaning to ask Tank for help, Suzy instead blurts out, “Tank, I think I love you!” Suzy’s weakened state has apparently bypassed all her inhibitions…or she’s delirious. Regardless, a person can’t take back something that’s already been said. Tank, who was already looking for something to help Suzy, stops in his tracks.

“Listen, kid. This ain’t no time for this sort of thing. We’re in a tough situation, and we gotta get moving. Now, here, I’m just going to pull you out of that basket.”

As Tank begins to lift Suzy out of the laundry bin, she goes strangely limp and falls to the floor at his feet. At least she’s out of the laundry bin, but there’s still that whole bleeding scalp problem.

Tank mumbles something about all the demons of hell coming to torment him.
Action: Staunch the flow of blood from Suzy's forehead with some spare bit of cloth from the laundry chute.

[3iff]

Action: Lie there limply and do nothing.

"Suzy thinks"...(and just wait for the roll of 1 or 6 which will probably kill me...or maybe I'll just die of embarrassment...and come back to haunt Jedo for his evil rolls)


BTW: Laughed at the result of the last action!

[novice]

Action: Find a medikit and eat some painkillers, then relocate my shoulder by banging it against the wall, just like they do in my favourite 20th century movies.

[Elethiomel]

Apparently, there's more than one way to skin a cat.

Action: Wrap my hand in the towel, allowing its nanoagents to work their magic while I check the refrigerator screen to get an overview of the situation.

[Jedo the Jedi]

I just want to say, I have no idea why my number generator hates you guys. I've tested it to see if it actually works its way through all the numbers, and it does. I've even checked the code for producing rolls, and it seems to be legitimate. You guys just have shitty luck.

[3iff]

Jedo: I'm just bemoaning our apparent luck with poor rolls...it's just the way it goes. I'm not personally blaming you...and it is 'fun', it's just that we appear to be incapable of even the simplest actions without a serious threat of maiming ourselves (or saying stupid things!).

[Elethiomel]

So far, I actually feel like it's kind of hard to accomplish anything. The actions are so small, and the likelihood of something going wrong is so high, we keep facing new obstacles without really going anywhere. On the other hand, I'm sure a string of 5s would reverse that impression. (And it feels like we got no 3s or 4s at all, so far.) Still having fun, though.

[3iff]

[novice]

[Undercover Monk]

Aww Bloody hell what now! Everyone else is out their battling monsters or robots or robot monsters or monsterous robot vampires and Im chained to a bed like some crappy Saw ripoff. Wait a sec maybe Im seperated from the group so I can meet some misunderstood monster who will help us defeat whatever villian is behind this like that fat kid from Goonies. Yeah Im like chunk from goonies.

Action: After a good inner monologue to increase his spirits Reggie asks whoever chained him up to please let him go.

[Jedo the Jedi]

Before I write up the scene, here is what I will say.

I'm not changing the way things are right now. I will say that I've allowed certain things which I was inclined to make you change (things like "lie limply" as an action), and I haven't destroyed anybody like I could have. I very purposefully let Dee keep his hand even though my wife was clamoring for me to make the laser cut off the bear trap and hand together. My decisions in this regard are related to two things: 1) I only have so much story in mind to work through, so I don't want you to get through it too quickly, and 2) I recognize there aren't people waiting to join in, so the impetus to let people die to let others join isn't there.

Maybe that clues you into my thought process. It is still fun for me, and I want it to continue being fun for you. If your fun is wrapped up in progress, let me know and I'll keep that in mind.

Turn 7 Resolution:

MNO: 6-1=5

Jack hauls himself off the floor in a rage. At that moment, he sees movement through the hole in the blast door. In a feat fueled by adrenaline, he aims ahead of the moving figure and leads it with three shots. In response he barely hears a loud shriek and a thud in the corridor. Jack moves to the blast door hole and looks through to see a Princua soldier in its death throes. “It’s about time,” he mutters to himself.

Event: Some leading Princua have made it to this part of the ship.

Event: Jack has killed a Princua in the corridor attached to the party’s apartment.


Elethiomel: 3

“Aaaaaaah…” Dee’s scream trails off as he runs out of breath. He sits there panting for another minutes staring at the place where Plato recently stood. Suddenly, the new pain in his hand catches up to his brain, and Dee realizes he needs to do something about it. He kind of drops the towel on his hurt hand, and the nano-agents provide some slight relief to the pain. He is able to collect himself and think about what to do next.

Dee’s hand is partially healed. He will now receive a -1 to actions requiring manual dexterity only on an additional roll of 5 or 6.


novice: 2

Zip continues to grope around in the dark, albeit a little more cautiously. He bumps a nearby shelf and causes the contents to spill on the ground. He then tries to feel about him, but either he accidentally knocks the things further from himself or he doesn’t feel anything. Zip thinks to himself that this might be an appropriate time to cry. Hell, it’s not as if anybody will be able to see him do so.

The tears flow rapidly.


Monk: 2

Reggie comes to in a strange room. A small movement of his hands and feet lets him know he is chained down. He rolls his head about to see who has brought him here, and his eyes fall on a dainty, young female glaring at him with disdain. Reggie is taken aback by his apparent luck. He tries to speak to the woman and ask that they chat as equals, but his words come out like this, “Whabou oo lemeg oo?” It seems the sleep agent hasn’t quite worn off. The woman just continues to stare at him.


3iff: 6-1=5 (blood impairment)

Suzy is shocked at what she just said to Tank. Do I really feel that way? How could I? I’ve only just been fallen on by him? Well, at least this floor is super cool given all the pain she is experiencing. She decides to lie here comfortably and regain her energy. In fact, just the thought of not moving provides a little rejuvenation. Maybe Tank didn’t hear me properly…


Sentran: 1

“Why don’t you let me stop that bleeding for you? I have a feeling I’m going to need you in good condition. I’m sure you’ll be a good asset if we run across any Princua.” Tank grabs a nearby sheet to stop the blood flow, but it wraps around his legs and he falls to the ground. Suzy doesn’t respond.

Tank is wrapped in the sheet. He will need to roll an additional 4+ on his next turn before being able to move unless somebody helps him. If he fails, he will probably injure himself.

"Fookin' laundry! I knew I should've installed track lighting in here, it's hardly bright enough for me to find the exit with! Now, about that sheet..."

Action: disentangle myself from the offending sheet.

Action: Turn on the lights and search the floor for painkillers.

[Elethiomel]

Action: Study the status reports on the refrigerator screen to determine the current locations of the Princua and the other crew, and scan the invading warship for vulnerable thermal exhaust ports and the like.

[3iff]

Action: Lie here on the smooth comforting floor for a few more moments, wondering what the F*ing and Blinding is that I can hear.

Jedo: Continue running the game as you like...just keep your missus away from incidents of limb-severing...thanks.

[Undercover Monk]

Action: flash a charming smile and ask once again to be freed so I can help my comrades

Turn 8 Resolution:

MNO: 5

Using the communicator attached to this suit, Jack connects with Command. “Central, I need an area scan for the nearest member of my bunk.”

“Jack, you got Princua heading right toward your location. We’re trying to mobilize support, but the Princua have also breached near the main barracks. You need to take cover.”

“I’ll do what I damn well please. Right now, I need you to tell me where the nearest friendly is so I’m not running into trouble without someone watching my back.”

“Fine, you want to get your sorry ass in trouble then it’s no skin off my back. Zip is just down the hall in the store room.”

Jack runs back up the corridor and enters the room a second time. There is Zip crying on the floor like a little baby.


Elethiomel: 6

“Refrigerator, show status reports for nearest Princua and bunk mates. Also provide an overview of the enemy warship and any vulnerabilities,” says Dee as he bites back the pain still throbbing in his foot and hand. The refrigerator lights up and attempts to collate all of the requested information, but it didn’t receive its last OS update. The amount of information overloads the refrigerator’s circuits causing it to shut down. Dee smacks himself in the forehead with his injured hand and bites back a shout.


novice: 4

As the tears flow from his eyes, Zip realizes the clap-on lights were recently installed ship wide. He claps his hands, and the lights come on. This makes him cry even more because he didn’t need to stumble around that little bit. “You’re so stupid,” he says to himself. Suddenly, the door opens and Jack walks in giving him a queer look. Zip tries to dry his face, but it’s too late.


Monk: 1

Reggie flashes his most winsome smile and tries to speak to the young woman again. As he opens his mouth, the woman quickly shoves a rag in his mouth to gag him. “Oo aig us uh iun,” he says. “No more talking,” she sternly orders over his indistinct speech. “We’re going to sit here while I figure out what you are doing in my apartment and whether you are working with the invaders.”

Reggie feels movement in his pants.


3iff: 1

This floor really is nice. I bet I could just keep laying here until this whole situation blows over. The Princua probably won’t check the laundry room. Suddenly, the blood flowing from her brow trickles into Suzy’s mouth. She lurches into a sitting position coughing and sputtering trying to clear her airways from the thick liquid. Well, so much for the peacefulness of the floor.


Sentran: 3

Tank thrashes about trying to get the sheet from around his legs, but he really only loosens it. Part of it gets hung on a nearby hook, so the sheet will probably just rip away if he tries to go anywhere.

[novice]

Jack, you're back! Rescue me!
Action: Embracing my inner coward, I ask Jack to ease my pain, fix my shoulder, and get me the hell out of here.

[Sentran]

"Well, good to see that you're still with us. That head wound looks pretty serious, what happened there?"

Action: Tear away the sheet and rip off a piece to bind Suzy's head

*sigh*

Action: Insert my Windows 2389 holokey and reboot the fridge, repeating my previous query. Have a beer while I'm waiting for it to install critical language pack updates.

[MNOWAX]

What the hell? Never mind that, your shoulder looks nasty. I also have intel that The Princua have breached near the main barracks,so we're screwed if I can't find anyone to help fend this invasion off.

Action: While keeping an eye out for soldiers, attempt to help zip out and fix his shoulder using my portable medikit on the side of my railgun.

Sincerest apologies, all. Midterms this week, but they are done now and I have the coming week off. I'm sure we can get through three or four turns this week when 3iff has access again on Monday.

Anyway, new post up tonight! (My wife won't let me hold off any longer even if I wanted to. She's been dying to see what unfortunate turn of events comes about this time.)

Turn 9 Resolution:

MNO: 5
novice: 3

“Oh, thank God! Won’t you please help me out? I was in the dark and I couldn’t find the lights and my shoulder is out of socket and I couldn’t find the pain pills and the Princua are coming and I’m really not cut out for situations like this and…”

“Stop your damn crying, you damn blubbering baby. What’s wrong with your shoulder?”

“It’s out of socket,” Zip replies with a whimper.

“Let’s take care of that first, then we’ll sort out the other problems,” Jack says as he moves toward Zip. Jack grabs Zip’s injured arm, and braces himself. “Now, this is going to hurt like hell, so just prepare yourself. I ain’t gonna baby you. On the count of 3…”

Before Zip can mentally set himself, Jack resets the shoulder. Zip cries out, cursing Jack for not counting like Jack said he would.

“Hey, kid, it’s done. It’s always best just to rip it off like a Band-Aid and get it over with. You’ll thank me later. Here, have some painkillers from my med pack.”

In a strange twist, Jack accidentally gave Zip adrenaline pills. They will certainly help with the pain, but they also have other side effects.

Zip is experiencing an adrenaline rush. He will be at a +1 for all rolls for the next 3 turns, and he will not suffer minor injuries until the adrenaline wears off.


Elethiomel: 2

Dee attempts to fix the fridge by inserting his holokey to reboot the OS with the appropriate updates, but the fridge has a virus: the common cold. There’s no way to fix it except for a week of rest and periodic feedings of hot, chicken soup.


Monk: 6

“Aaah! Uh e ug ih in I pah?! Ge ih ah!” Reggie screams around the rag in his mouth. He slaps a couple times at the thing moving in his pants…until the pain tells him he’s slapping at his own erection.

The woman sees the erection in his pants and rolls her eyes. “Men are such pigs,” she says as she begins to release Reggie from the bed.

Reggie is lying on the bed with a still injured wrist and a slightly sore penis in a room with a disgusted woman.


3iff: 2

Suzy leans forward to put her head between her legs, but she accidentally hits her cut forehead against one of her knees. Stars explode across her vision. “I just want to die,” she mutters to herself.


Sentran: 1

Tank still wants desperately to help Suzy. She would be a great asset if they ran afoul of some Princua, and hell, she isn’t bad looking. Strange times make for strange bed fellows, and she would be a pretty nice bed fellow. Well, I hope she’s not really a fellow.

He rips again at the sheet, but it proves to be stronger than him. He lurches toward the hook on the wall as the sheet’s immovability reverses his force. Tank reaches his hand out to brace himself, only to open a gash on his palm.

Tank has a minor wound on his hand. He will be at a -1 for all actions requiring manual dexterity.

[Jedo the Jedi]

So, 3iff won't be around until Monday, but I can have the whole thing basically ready to go and incorporate his action as soon as he posts it. I imagine I can get one scene up everyday next week if you guys get your actions posted. Again, very sorry about the delay. You're just at the mercy of my school schedule.

I also want to note that just because it looks like I'm moving your character in a certain direction doesn't mean you have to go along with it. For instance, if Monk wanted to leave this woman, he could post an action to that effect and it would happen (if he rolled well enough). Don't let my narration box you in.

[Jedo the Jedi]

Monk, you can do whatever you want, but I would advise you to choose a different action. I just don't see that one turning out well for you unless you miraculously roll a 4 or 5.

Action: Screw the fridge (not literally) and follow the clickety-clackety macho sounds of Zip and Jack "gearing up" to meet up with them. If any greenskins interfere, dispatch them with a quick slingshot from my towel, using the tin of cat food as ammo.
