ALECTRYON

[soulping]

[you’re finally ushered off into doors that appear in the roots of Otto’s tree, leading to a small room with enough chairs for your team. There’s a large, cardboard box in the center of the table, with a small, leather bag full of gold coins next to it.

There’s some suspicious chirping coming from inside the box, however! Peeking inside, you’ll find a baby bird . . . on fire? Feel free to take it out and play with it, though! It’s fire won’t burn you.

Otto’s voice echoes into the room, sounding bored]

I’ve left a friend in your care today. Let’s see how well you manage.

ROUND 2

[soulping]

[your baby bird has grown, it's feathers growing out into a beautiful mix of red and orange feathers! It gives a stronger chirp as it spreads its wings, stretching out.

You rolled a three, and . . . oh dear! It seems that there was something bad in your last purchase, because your bird has come down with a terrible case of food poisoning! It loses 5hp, but will recover by the start of the next round.

An additional item has been added to the menu: Mice: 15 coins]

BIRD HP: 40

DISCUSSION.

[gennai]

Ah. Well.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[unlimitedcoffee]

Not the best luck there with the food, but it looks like the rest of the pick was pretty good for the bird.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[gennai]

I suppose something has to happen in a game like this from making it too easy. But that means it really is all about luck...

ROUND 3

[soulping]

[your baby bird has grown, it's feathers growing out into a beautiful mix of red and orange feathers! It gives a stronger chirp as it spreads its wings, stretching out. It's almost too big to fit into your hand now!

It's also recovered from the last round!

You rolled a two, which means . . . nothing! Your bird remains strong and healthy!

BIRD HP: 55

Re: ROUND 3

[gennai]

We're almost at the mark, then.

Re: ROUND 3

[unlimitedcoffee]

Then maybe we should keep it to the lighter things and stock up more points? Give it a bit better of a home and a bit of seed?

ROUND 4

[soulping]

[your baby bird has grown, it's feathers growing out into a beautiful mix of red and orange feathers! It gives a stronger chirp as it spreads its wings, stretching out. It's almost too big for the box now!

You rolled a five, which means . . . oh my! It seems in it's excitement at growing bigger, your bird has injured it's leg from jumping around. It loses 15hp, but will recover by the start of the next round.]

BIRD HP: 45

Re: ROUND 4

[gennai]

Hm.

We have thirty points total now, we should probably use it for something bigger. Rats and more housing, maybe?

Re: ROUND 4

[unlimitedcoffee]

Or we could attempt that growth syringe and keep five points in our ranks.

FINAL ROUND

[soulping]

[your bird is no longer a baby; it's too big for you to hold, too big for it's box - but it's not there quite yet. How can you tell? Because your phoenix is squawking excitedly at you, trying to say as much, of course!

You roll a four, which means . . . nothing! Your bird remains strong and healthy!

BIRD HP: 70

Re: FINAL ROUND

[gennai]

Hm. We got it back up at least. I don't know how much HP it can lose in a single turn...

Re: FINAL ROUND

[unlimitedcoffee]

Let's hope that injury was the worst of them. So, we've got 20 coins to play with. Water and food, maybe?
