DAWON

[soulping]

[You're wading in a low river, trying to advance as fast as you can--is the apparent setup, anyways. There's a table in the center of the room with a die to roll--and as you do so the world moves around you like some kind of VR deal. Everything looks, smells, and even sounds real… but it can't actually hurt you.]

[A monitor is lit up on the table. It reads: '24 spaces remain.']

OBSTACLE: FUCKING METEORS

[fangirlitis]

[23 spaces remain]

[Suddenly, a large rock impacts in the water just ahead of you, making an impact crater in the water that sends a wave over you all. In the sky there are twinkling stars. Stars that are growing bigger as they follow the first one towards you and yours. You figure your bath in the river has been good enough that you don't need a shower--what do you do?]

Re: ROUND 1

[purple_sister]

Don't worry about it, it has a one in six chance of happening no matter what. We'll just make up for it in the actions.

Re: ROUND 2

[purple_sister]

OBSTACLE: CYBER SHARK IMPACT

[fangirlitis]

[21 spaces remain.]

[As you wade through the river waters towards the other bank (and your true love!), you see an ominous fin in the river swimming towards you. It jumps from the water, revealing a terrifying Cyber Shark coming right for you! There's not much time to act--what do you do?]

> Punch it in the nose
> Play dead
> Attempt to surf
> Run away
> Break into a killer guitar solo

OBSTACLE: THE IN LAWS

[fangirlitis]

[19 spaces remain]

[Suddenly, on a cropping of rocks in the middle of the river, the most terrifying thing anyone can see has appeared. Your in-laws, sitting around a low table. They gesture for you to have a seat, and before you can protest you're all sitting and having a delicious spot of tea.]

[You've got to make sure they don't make the rest of your life a living hell--what do you do?]

> Give a housewarming gift
> Talk about your job
> Talk about your future plans
> Run away
> Break into a killer guitar solo

Re: ROUND 4

Maybe we should have gotten them a tea set instead.

Re: ROUND 4

[purple_sister]

So we need to... roll two sixes and get a max victory every time to reach the end...

[Can we do it?]

Re: ROUND 4

[allhart]

*And then Maya rolls a 2.*

Well, this is going well...

OBSTACLE: A GROUP OF SINGING CYBER FROGS SO AMAZINGLY COOL YOU HAVE TO STOP AND WATCH

[fangirlitis]

[16 spaces remain]

[On a rocky outcropping in the river is a number of cybernetically enhanced frogs in tuxedos. Three have microphones, and the others have a small band put together. As they see you approach, the three fronttoads start snapping. The band kicks up a tune, and the most amazing three part harmony you've ever heard fills the air. It's positively mesmerizing--what do you do?]

> Stop and watch
> Plug your ears
> Try to fight them off with a convenient stick
> Run away
