GOATS

[soulping]

You are in what looks to be a large operating room (actually cleaned and sterilized!). In the center is a standard operating table, and on either side are two... humanoid beings. Alchemical automatons, made out of metal, flesh, wire, a paper substance - all kinds of substances put together. Their cold, dead black eyes gaze at you. Staring. Empty.

Along the edges of the room are large tubes - containers filled with an odd fluid. Most are empty, except for two - in two are body parts.

RULES

[soulping]

The two automatons are here to help you BUILD A BODY!

Goals:
1. Build a body: Head, Torso, Arms, Legs, and a Heart.
2. The quality of the parts are Excellent, Normal, and Poor. You want the best quality body for your creation!

Each automaton can do one task per round. Delegate!
Part quality can be increased!

Tasks for the automatons:
- Steal part from another team: there is a 20% chance of failure, and organ quality upon successful theft is 40% Poor, 30% Normal, 10% Excellent.
- Collect parts: there is a 10% chance of failure, and organ quality upon successful collection is 40% Poor, 30% Normal, 20% Excellent.
- Improve quality: automatons can spend a turn making a selected part better! There is a 5% chance of failure. If the part is Poor quality, there is a 5% chance of it going directly to Excellent quality.
- Trade: Send an automaton to another team to trade organs! Tell it the message you want it to relay and which part to bring with it. THE OTHER TEAM DOES NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT, and the automaton will return with the part it had.

ROUND 1

In the containers: Poor Torso, Excellent Arms

[ They just stare at him blankly with their empty eyes. ]

[unguilded]

[ Creepy...

But he'll sit down and relax to rest himself if they'll just do that, not too keen on getting too chill with them anyway because Sepsis. :l ]

[forthemackerel]

[ arrives late to the party, peering around quietly ]

[unguilded]

Hey.

[forthemackerel]

[ soft nod ]

Whose realm is this?

[bypastime]

[We're the most punctual goats.]

[unguilded]

Sepsis.

[ Which is why he doesn't look very thrilled. ]

[forthemackerel]

[ ah, that makes him a bit tense ]

Will you be okay?

[ with those recent wounds... ]

[forthemackerel]

[ clearly! but at least we're here to take care of mamagoat now; nodding to her softly ]

[unguilded]

[ 50 points from you! ]

ROUND 2

[soulping]

Automaton 1 returns from their venture with Good Heart! This look like it was frozen. In storage, perhaps?
Automaton 2 was successful in improvement! You now have a Good Torso! The flesh looks much healthier and less mushy.

Current parts:
Excellent Arms, Good Torso, Good Heart

Re: DISCUSS

Good.

So, should we do the same for this round? Repair one to better quality, and search for another? I figure if we get extras then we can look into trading. And I'd rather not just opt to steal unless we get stolen from first.

[unguilded]

Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better than I did last night already. Thanks to you. And I could make it here, so I'd rather be at a game if I have the energy to get here for one.

[bypastime]

[Nods back, adding an encouraging smile. We can do this! Without dying! Probably!]

[bypastime]

[Aww, we'll never win the House Cup at this rate. :(]

[forthemackerel]

[ nods to him ]

I'm just glad I could help you.
