TAKSHAKA

[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.']

We can easily manage this.

OBSTACLE: FUCKING METEORS

[fangirlitis]

[22 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?]

> Cast reflect
> Watch the skies and try to avoid them
> Let forth an anguished cry to Zeus
> Run away
> Break into a killer guitar solo

Re: ROUND 2

[freewilly]

Go for it, Riley.

ACTION

[ofbelief]

>Guitar solo

RESULT

[fangirlitis]

[While your guitar solo is awesome, the fish eat through everything but the guitar--leaving you with an awkward few moments as you rush to the nearest clothing store for replacements. Go back 1 space.]

Re: ROUND 3

...So. No guitar solo.

Re: ROUND 3

[freewilly]

I think i'm done with making sense of these results too.

ACTION

[ofbelief]

> Question the purpose of this event's existence

RESULT

[fangirlitis]

[You launch into a long rant about this obstacle. Where did it come from? What was the point? Why would anyone even have something like this in there in the first place? What is a sewer doing connected to a river? What's the purpose of this overly long gag?]

[You waste so much time complaining that you fail to realize that you've been let out of the strange obstacle. Go back 1 space.]
