LOCKEZ'S FORUM RPG

Arandomgamemaker
You attempt to use pillowcases to make a rope, but immediately realize you don't have enough. Instead of destroying your items needlessly, you opt to cheer Gourd_Clae on with a pep talk. You stay with him and reach down to help him escape the hole in case his stupid hot air balloon idea actually works. The stupid hot air balloon idea gets a +1 bonus chance to success.

Allen Hunter
You sic an attack dog on Repo Man B, then realize he's already dead and tell the dog to change targets (rolled 2). The dog obediently switches targets to Repo Man A, who is also already dead. It tears into the corpse's flesh with its teeth as you facepalm. The dog is well nourished and will receive +1 to attack rolls today.

Dorakyura
You ride to Dak's aid roll him into the doctor-recommended position for seizures (rolled 5), putting your hands under his head to protect him from the jagged stone and preventing him from choking. Dak stops convulsing and tells you he has always loved you, wait no he meant like a brother, unless you WANTED him to mean it the other way, did you want that, no of course not, haha, but seriously you're the best pal, thanks. This is a little odd since you've only known him for a couple days since he hired you.

Prexus
You put two fingers in your mouth and whistle, summoning wild animals to your aid (rolled 5 - birds of prey). A small flock of bats spirals down from the cavern ceiling with a series of blood-curdling screeches and attacks Repo Man D (rolled 4). All the blood is drained from the north brooklyner's body and he is left as a dead, shriveled husk.

Yellow Magic
You wave your torch like a madman at the remaining vaporite (rolled 4 +1 = 5). The vaporite bursts into a puff of steam, which then condenses and drips onto the ground. You could swear you heard it scream before it was destroyed.

Staph Tespan
Your ayebrows lower and your bunny ears curl backwards in determination as you attack Repo Man C with your sword (rolled 6 +1 = 6). The foe is dead, but you have gone into an enraged battle trance. Since all foes are dead, this isn't a great kind of trance to be in. You continue slashing and stabbing the dead body and everything else in the viscinity of it repeatedly, destroying any loot it was carrying. Eventually you settle down.


VICTORY!


Dak and Hobbie gather up your party after the battle. Together you rescue Gourd_Clae and whoever's moogle that was from the holes they fell in. You also de-shishkabob any midgets who were stuck on your weapons, and pick up anything you dropped.

It turns out the repo men were carrying some loot. These guys didn't get paid much to come after you; 15 gold has been distributed to each surviving party member who was present for the battle. You cannot spend the money right now however, since you're trapped in a caved-in mineshaft.

Each of the repo men was also carrying a wrench. This can be used as a throwing weapon (once per battle), as a melee weapon (identical to an unarmed attack), or of course as a wrench. One wrench was destroyed by Staph Tespan but the other three will be distributed to players. When submitting your next turn, guess a number between 1 and 100. The three closest guesses without going over win a wrench.

After everything settles down, you suddenly hear a rumbling overhead. Another cave-in? With a crack, the ceiling splits, and two adventurers fall through a small hole along with a pile of rocks and rubble, landing painfully in the cavern in front of you all. They curse, and determine that there doesn't seem to be any way to get back up. They introduce themselves as Idida1! and Storm and mention that they were searching the abandoned mines for treasure. Hobbie tells them about the esper, and offers them a cut. They agree to join your group until you escape from the mineshaft.

Dak informs everyone that the area where the esper is supposed to have found is somewhere in this section of the mineshaft. He leads the group forward and takes out a map, which looks like it was drawn by a two year old. As he is walking and trying to make sense of it, he spills some coffee on it. While Dak and Hobbie are arguing about whether the map is supposed to be a picture of the mineshaft, the town or the continent, they turn a corner and find themselves about two feet away from a 30 foot tall snail. The snail looks at them quizzically.

Dak starts quickly telling everyone about the information he got from his source, which talked about a giant electric snail that guarded the mineshaft. It supposedly stored lightning in its shell and attacked enemies with it. He starts giving you instructions on how to fight it.

Unfortunately, Dak's instructions are translated from Japanese so poorly that Hobbie isn't honestly sure whether he's telling you all to attack the shell or to not attack the shell. Hobbie attacks the shell and is electrocuted. He falls to the ground, sizzling and twitching. Hobbie will be unconscious for this battle.
