WarpStarFerret : I'm a seasponge. I'll be fine. The well being of my friend here is not as important to me as the overall goal of my mission.

Err... Sorry mlb. I hope you can swim well.

tj4bigred : Not everyone started in the same spot you know. Maybe you went too far? I still find it hilarious how you guys went up to the ocean, looked at it, then picked east again and jumped in.

tj4bigred :   Mother... I guess I might already die this game.  Thanks for that TJ.

AuraBlaze : Yeah that's my plan. Make it to the center of the mountains and then head north. We should be okay if no creatures ambush us.

legacyme3 : I think we've all picked our choices. I think it's just you we're waiting on. Here's the picks I can see for reference, unless I missed something;

Me--Go South.
tj4bigred--Drown. Weird, but w/e.
Aura--Go East.
sonic&silver--Use the pony as a floatation device.

I don't think I'm missing anyone.

pacman1755 : The question I have to ask is, will we have enough supplies? With no cities in a reasonable distance, I am concerned about running out of food and have nothing to go off of. If the color on the map is any indicator, there does not appear to be vegetation. Animals maybe, but I was hoping more to avoid confrontations.

WarpStarFerret :

I know.

It's just something that takes a little time to write when I've got 4 stories to juggle at once.

It doesn't help that I'm depressed, having not slept like, at all in the past 5 days now.

Sorry, needed a little time to think how I'd handle TJ AND MLB789's STORY :|

: LET'S KEEP GOING EAST AND DROWN YEAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

I'm going to die because my partner is an idiot.

You stand in the water blankly, choosing to drown. Derp

May as well roll the dice.

You roll 1d20, and roll a 12.

You succeed at drowning. Good job.

You just sink to the bottom of the ocean, and lose consciousness, and then float up to the surface, and start floating away...

NO CHOICE

pacman1755/AuraBlaze story

Aaron looks to the different directions, and feels out their location. Once he gets a good idea he speaks.

: I think we should probably head east. It looks like the quickest way out of the desert.

Once he starts walking, Pacman follows, they take their time walking down the bank of the dune. You can't help but feel using Pacman as a sled would have been more efficient as a means of travel.

You get to the bottom of the dune and find yourself in a large flat expanse of the desert. But at the end of the day, you feel a slight uppage in motivation. You could be getting close to Leggy City, and that's really all that matters. While you ponder how to get around what look like mountains in the horizon, you decide to set up camp, and rest for the night. It's cold, but it's a good thing you both know how to keep warm.

CHOICE - pacman1755
1. Go North (no longer requires dice roll unless otherwise noted)
2. Go South
3. Go East
4. Go West

It's a desert, not much else for you to do in there.

big fat cat/WarpStarFerret Story

: We are going South dog.

Without a word, Dog follows Kyle south.

You see a rolling plain that extends a bit more in front of you, but you know your Leggy Land geography. There's not much further to go before you hit the desert. You find a nice little area to camp out for the rest of the day/night, and await morning.

CHOICE - big fat cat
1. Go North (no longer requires dice roll unless otherwise noted)
2. Go South
3. Go East
4. Go West

(Yeah, seriously, there's not a lot to do when just traveling. Once you get out of the tutorial, you will move faster, and fight things)

You choose to use the pony as a floatation device. Since you can't fail, why bother dice rolling?

Iris gets on the pony, and kicks off from shore. Maybe you should have gotten a paddle from cutting down a tree earlier... oh well.

You float a fair deal, about 5 units worth, you aren't sure where you are, or how long it's been, but you feel confident you will eventually hit a shore line somewhere...

This carries on for a while... and then...

WHOOSH.

You knew this was a bad idea.

A hurricane. And you are venturing RIGHT INTO IT.

You can't change course, and even if you could, you can't get out of the way fast enough. All you can do is brace for impact.

And that is what you do.

You brace!

And go flying. The hurricane winds whip you two around, and around and around, until eventually you get flung out of it's grasp. When you are done spinning, and you get the chance to look at your surroundings, you can see land in some of the directions. You aren't sure which is north, south, east or west, but at least you see land.

You then realize you are hurtling into the water. Or about to. Iris hugs the pony as hard as he can, and awaits impact. The pony tries in vain to fly...

But all it can do to prevent a catastrophic failure is coast roughly into the water. Neither of you are hurt, miraculously, and you celebrate your having lived.

You celebrate so much you don't even realize a log or something bumped into you.

Eventually you realize something isn't right, and investigate.

It's not a log. It's a sponge with a spatula, and a guy with yellow skin. What strange characters. You choose to use them as paddles to get to the nearest shore line, because they are clearly unconscious.

Then you choose to slap them back to life.

mlb789 and tj4bigred lose 5 HP each!

Head North. Go what we planned to go to.

So worth it.

big fat cat : If I have where we are correct in my mind--which I'm pretty sure I do due to the "you know your Leggy Land geography..."--then we should probably go east. I think we're near the top left corner of that lake in the middle, maybe a bit west of the corner.

"LET'S KEEP GOING EAST AND DROWN, YEAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"

"I am going to die because my partner is an idiot."

........

tj4bigred : lol

east
jesus i just want food already

east
jesus i just want food already

sonicmcmuffin : I think you're the only one who has a choice this round who hasn't decided on a course of action. Just thought I'd summon you to let you know.

WarpStarFerret : thanks for letting me know.. I didn't realise it was my choice to make so i suggest we go south.... I have no idea where we are but hey let's continue this story .

GO SOUTH!

pacman1755/AuraBlaze story

You choose to head North, and hopefully out of the desert.

You get tired though... been a while since you two had any real water... You may need to find a source of water soon...

Brilliant! There is water here!

: Well... we made it!

: Unfortunately I don't think we're closer to leaving the desert.

: Depends... can you swim? We're at a lake.

: ... no. Unfortunately, I cannot.

CHOICE - AuraBlaze
1. Go North
2. Go South
3. Go East
4. Go West

big fat cat/WarpStarFerret story

You find some water, and drink up. There's not much of note here, but you do run into a passerby who tells you there's a cool underground tunnel nearby. He's eager to find it, but you get the feeling he may not be close to it. He came from the north, so it's probably not that way.

CHOICE - WarpStarFerret
1. Go North
2. Go South
3. Go East
4. Go West

sonicmcmuffin/silverthundr/tj4bigred/mlb789

You all move south.

: So who are you two anyway? And why were you drowning?

: Well... funny story that...

: Well, teej here decided it would be an ok to drown.

: Who would think DROWNING is a good idea?

: Probably a better idea than flying when your wings are too freaking disproportionate to your body!

: Still a good idea. I don't care what you say.

: Am I the only sane one here?

: You saying someone called "Madly Obsessed Muffin Lover" can't be sane?

: That's exactly what I'm saying!

: Shut up El Guerrero!

: Well my name is Iris...

After hours of bickering back and forth, you find the outskirts of Leggy City! You are right on the doorstep of the capital of the continent! How do you know it's Leggy City...?

Well just look at the guards. They look at you very distrustingly...

CHOICE - silverthundr
1. Enter Leggy City
2. Go North
3. Go South
4. Go East
5. Go West

-----
pacman1755 : North
AuraBlaze :

big fat cat : East
WarpStarFerret :

sonicmcmuffin : South
silverthundr :
tj4bigred :
mlb789 :

So... Realistically speaking, my choices are East and South. East should put me just north of the lake, which I'm beginning to think is further than I thought, and South should get me closer to Shil... Hm, the underground passage intrigues me. By my calculations, the most likely place for it to be is to the East.

To the East it is!

legacyme3 : Wait, there's a river immediately to the east right? Can we cross it safely?

WarpStarFerret :

Everyone MAY cross rivers.

Only certain people will have success crossing lakes.

Okay, since we can safely cross the river, I pick to go East. Hopefully we'll find that secret passage.

Flip on Galaxy News Radio and equip armored Vault 101 Uniform.

Anyway, it's not my choice, but the guards are probably pushovers. I think we should try to talk our way in.
