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.']

...Oh, this doesn't seem that hard.

Re: ROUND 1

[freewilly]

We can easily manage this.

Re: ROUND 1

[ofbelief]

We can! Do you want to roll first?

Re: ROUND 1

[freewilly]

Sure!

[ taking the die, shaking it and rolls...

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?]

Um... something fast?

Re: Discuss

[freewilly]

That could be running away? Or avoiding more of them?

Re: Discuss

[ofbelief]

What about reflect? That sounds like something Nightingale would do.

But avoiding and running away sound like the same thing except one of them you don't watch for...

Re: Discuss

[freewilly]

Yeah, I think she'd do that too.

Running away would just be us turning back, I think.

Re: Discuss

[ofbelief]

I don't like it.

If there were any of them it'd be the first two, right? And Katie really likes heroic romances...

Re: Discuss

[freewilly]

I think so.

Should we cast reflect then?

Re: Discuss

[ofbelief]

Yeah, okay. Let's go with it.

ACTION

[ofbelief]

>Cast Reflect

Re: Discuss

[freewilly]

Alright!

Result

[fangirlitis]

[You cast reflect to bounce the meteor spell back at the caster.]

[WAIT SHIT THOSE ARE ACTUAL ROCKS--]

[You've made a terrible error. Go back 3 spaces.]

ROUND 2

[fangirlitis]

[25 spaces remain]

[yes, really]

Re: ROUND 2

[ofbelief]

--So let's not do what Nightingale would do? Is that the answer.

Should I roll this time?

Re: ROUND 2

[freewilly]

I... guess?

[ SIGH KATIE MAKE UP YOUR MIND ]

Go for it, Riley.

Re: ROUND 2

[ofbelief]

Maybe we should go for the least likely answers...

[ but at least she rolls a six??? ]

Re: ROUND 2

[freewilly]

We can give it a shot on this round.

OBSTACLE: CLOTHING EATING CYBER-PIRHANAS

[fangirlitis]

[19 spaces remain]

[There are several other people trying to cross the river around you as you move on. While you push through them, you notice an ominous burbling from the water. Suddenly, one of the NPCs is screaming, covering themselves, and running for the shore. It seems you've waded into a swarm of clothing eating cyber-piranhas! Showing up for your hot date without a pair of pants would probably go over badly--what do you do?]
