Roll to Dodge: The Third

I run into the king's chamber and make like everyone else! (I go to sleep).

I PWN THAT CHIPMUNK!!

Seeing this as a test of strength and will, and wanting to prove myself to the god of fire, I pull out my candlestick and deal a deafening blow to the figure made of fire.

Joker:

Quote :

Once again I adjust myself to the darkness…

(2) You would adjust yourself to the darkness, but it appears as though it isn’t quite possibly to adjust yourself to being blinded.

Ponita:

Quote :

I ask the Spirit of Air politely for anything else she might be able to grant me to help me on my quest.

(1) You start to ask the Spirit of Air for anything else she could give you, but you are ripped out of your Dream World by a cold wind. You wake up and your window has been opened. A Wraith is outside, staring at you. Its black cloak flutters in the air. You realize that you aren’t on the ground floor, and it has to be flying. Its glowing red eyes stare into your soul.

Monty:

Quote :

I run into the king’s chamber and make like everyone else! (I go to sleep)

(6) You sprint past the King and straight into his royal chambers. The King and his Guards chase you in there. You collapse onto the bed, but you can’t get to sleep over the sound of them yelling at you to leave.

Captain:

Quote :

I PWN THAT CHIPMUNK!!

(4) You squirrel-sprint over to the nearest chipmunk and scratch its face, sending it out of combat. This could be good practice, and you might even get something worthwhile out of it.

Ryan:

Quote :

I put some bandages and herbal ointments on my leg then go to sleep, allowing them to heal my leg overnight.

(2) You would put some bandages and herbal ointments on it, except you don’t have any. You sit a while thinking about this, and forget to go to your bed. (4) You still manage to avoid infection this turn.

Griff:

Quote :

Seeing this as a test of strength and will, and wanting to prove myself to the god of fire, I pull out my candlestick and deal a deafening blow to the figure made of fire.

(4) You rush towards him with your candlestick. You bash him over the head, dealing a crushing blow. He stands up and you jump back, ready to continue the fight.

Environment: Joker is still blinded by his own antics. Ponita has been woken by a Wraith that opened her window. Monty is on The King’s bed, and The King and his Elite Guards are trying to get him to leave. Captain is Dream-Pwning Chipmunks while Griff is Dream-Pwning the God of Fire. Ryan is pondering the meaning of life (and bandages) in the Keep’s Courtyard.

I explain to the king how it is of the utmost importance to me that I sleep in this bed and then I go to sleep.

I do the only thing I'm good at while blinded and sleep. (Right there on the padded floor)

I practice some more squirrelly fightin' to up my magical powers.

I attack the Wraith by shooting arrows at it.

I jump over the being, land behind him and deal a crushing blow to the back of his firey skull.

Monty:

Quote :

(2) You try to explain how it is extremely important that you sleep in The King’s bed, but he’s not buying it. He is starting to get very angry at you, and will kick you out of his room soon, and won’t do it kindly.

Joker:

Quote :

I do the only thing I’m good at while blinded and sleep. (Right there on the padded floor)

(3) You sit down and go to sleep, but the floor definitely isn’t padded. It’s marble, remember? Your Dream World consists of a large ocean with an island in the middle. This is a small island, but not overly small. There is a wooden raft at the shore, and out at sea you can see a disturbance in the waters.

Captain:

Quote :

I practice some more squirrelly fightin’ to up my magical powers.

(4) You fight some more chipmunks and the Dream Squirrels unlock some of your inner Squirrel Powers. You remember that you can inspire your teammates with a cute fluffy dance. You can now give your allies a +1 to their next roll without chance of a 6. This comes at the cost of your own turn. You can only use this ability once every five turns.

Ryan:

Quote :

I find a room and go to sleep, recovering from my injuries in my slumber

(5) You find a nice room to sleep in. You even find some ointments for your wound! Score! You apply the ointments and slip into bed. When you arrive in your Dream World you are confronted by a land of flames. In the far distance, too far to walk, you see the God of Fire. He has been stirred by something, but that doesn’t really matter. Closer at hand are some basic imps. There are only two, but they are wielding knives while you have nothing.

Ponita:

Quote :

I attack the Wraith by shooting arrows at it.

(3) You shoot two of your arrows at the Wraith, but the first one passes right through it. The second one gets its attention, however, and you can see that it is almost amused by your attacks.

Griff:

Quote :

I jump over the being, land behind him and deal a crushing blow to the back of his firey skull.

(1) You leap towards the God of Fire, but he grabs you by your leg and tosses you back. You crash against the ground hard. You … (4) manage to stay in your Dream World, but next time you try it will be harder. -1 to next roll to stay asleep.

Environment: Joker, Captain, Ryan, and Griff are all asleep and in their Dream Worlds. Monty is in the King’s chambers, but he can’t get to sleep. Ponita is trying to fight off a Wraith that is attacking her. The King and his Elite Guards are yelling at Monty to get out, and they won’t ask nicely for much longer.

I awaken and go forth!

I go to sleep!

With my eyes closed I feel my way to the boat.

I conjure a lute made of fire and play an amazing song that puts the fire being to sleep.

This time, instead of simply shooting my arrows, I bless them with the power of the raging winds and shoot them at the Wraith.

Turn Nineteen: In Which The Sun Rises

Captain:

Quote :

I awaken and go forth!

(5) You wake up from your dream, quite happy with what happened. You venture forth out of your room, going through a tiny squirrel-door next to the normal sized door. You waltz on down to the Keep’s Courtyard and watch the sunrise. It’s beauty inspires you, and you get a +1 to your next roll. Whatever that means.

Monty:

Quote :

I go to sleep!

(2) You can’t get to sleep with The King and his Elite Guards hassling you.

Joker:

Quote :

With my eyes closed I feel my way to the boat

(6) You close your eyes for some reason, presumably to make it harder for you to get to the boat. You fumble around for a while and find the boat. You paddle off, and head for what you think is the disturbance. Before long you realize that the disturbance probably wasn’t a great thing to head for, as it turns out that it is a very large whirlpool.

Ryan:

Quote :

I shoot beams of condensed fire (almost like lasers) at the imps, blowing large, holes in them and improving my experience with shooting fire beams.

(2) You would shoot condensed beams of fire, but you still have no fire powers.

Griff:

Quote :

I conjure a lute made of fire and play an amazing song that puts the fire being to sleep

(4) You conjure up a lute made of fire and play one of the many lullibys that your mother taught you before you killed her. Or maybe that was the wrong person? Either way, you successfully put the God of Fire in to some sort of sleep.

Ponita:

Quote :

This time, instead of simply shooting my arrows, I bless them with the power of the raging winds and shoot them at the Wraith.

(4) You enchant your arrows with the power of the winds and shoot three more at the Wraith. The arrows stick into it this time, and it lets out a scream and explodes, raining chunks of earth down onto the ground below.

Environment: Captain is out in the courtyard admiring the sunrise. Monty is still in The King’s rooms trying to go to sleep. Joker, Griff, and Ryan are in their Dream Worlds. Ponita has just finished off the Wraith outside her window. Starting next turn each person will have to roll to stay asleep.

I transport myself into the king's room.

I pretend to channel the voice of whatever the King's deity is through me to tell the king to let me sleep.

I calm the waters.

I exit my room and look for my hunky blacksmith to show him my new bow.

I turn my firey lute into a massive 2 handed fire sword and de-head-ify the being.
