Shades of Monochrome

[Seraphi]

Thade tries to electrocute the deer for the lulz.

 

He then heads outside to look for something interesting.

Day 3:

 

Okay Jen, your actions will be answered one per turn.

 

Day 2:

Food:

Bread - 7 days

Water - Indefinite supply

 

Appliances:

Refrigerator battery - 28 days

Computer - ??? days

 

Items:

Monitor

Computer

Satellite

Hatchet

Refrigerator

Mini-Aqueduct

Loaves of Bread * 7

Beds * 10

Futuristic Chamber-Pot

 

Jen:

You can't find any wood in the beds (it's a mattress on the ground), but see a perfect piece of wood lying in the corner that was brought in by Earth earlier. Confirm in your next post whether you use it or not.

 

Thade: You are knocked unconscious from magical backlash. It seems that even the deer has more magical prowess than you. Your attempt does, however, wake said deer.

 

Mather: You get 5 thin two-foot-long pieces of wood, and find nothing else.

[Retech]

I was going to do it on the second day. :(

 

 

 

I think I posted it before you said the day ended, and I hadn't had an action yet. We can't all be on for the entire day to have all five actions when you have the turns for them, so that's why I posted them then.

[The_Mather1]

Why do you only do one at a time?

[Nexaduro]

Ok, response posted in my last post.

[Retech]

Jen starts using the wood Earth brought to make into a large staff. (First)

Jen tries to tame the deer Earth brought into the house (Second, please do this as well, since I stated my first action before)

If successful, Jen tries to take the deer on a ride

Jen tries to levitate random things using magic, tossing them around and stuff.

Jen makes a loose fitting robe and pointy hat with the bed sheets/mattress.

[Earth]

NO retech. thats my wood. im making a bow from it. mrg. take it. i go and look for mre wood, and my deer comes with me (same size)

[Nexaduro]

Jen:

You carve a rough wooden staff out of the wood using your knife and magic.

The deer eyes you coldly, seeming to percieve and dislike your idea to ride it.

You manage to make some dust on the floor of the cabin twirl around slightly.

You remove one of the bedsheets and completely ruin it with your knife while trying to make robes. You also manage to cut your finger in a painful and distracting, though not severe way. -1 to rolls for the rest of the day unless healed.

 

Earth:

You and the deer set out from the cabin, but you can't seem to find a good piece of wood nearby.

[Earth]

my action.. is to find a new peice of wood to make a bow. and i take my deer along wiht me. same as before really.

[Retech]

(This action replaces the riding action, since the first thing failed)

 

Jen tries to bandage up the wound, then tries to bewitch the deer into liking her. (Basically a making friends spell)

[Earth]

retech. take a look at what happened to ross when he tried to zap the deer.

[Nexaduro]

Jen - No. You have no actions left until tomorrow.

 

Earth - You continue looking, and continue failing to find anything at all. You have 3 actions left.

 

And Earth, the deer isn't very powerful, but Ross is even weaker. Teehee! I warned you guys that magical prowess is judged by your first, or first few, rolls. Ross rolled a 4 both actions. 1-2 is no magical ability, 3-5 is low, 6-8 is medium-low, 9-12 is medium, 13-15 is medium-high, 16-18 is high, 19-20 is pure epic power.

[Earth]

i look for another dead animal. along the way, i search for a peice of wood (this is all one action)

[Seraphi]

Thade attempts to distort a piece of wood by focusing on it.

[Earth]

you do realize your unconcious.. correct?

[Seraphi]

Nex, that system is pretty poor to be honest. It essentially decides the entire game on a single roll.

[Earth]

?... whatever. you obviously realize the fact that you got magic donkey punched by a deer.

[Earth]

oh so nex. what did i roll? my action is on the last page.

[Nexaduro]

Ross, I warned you that if you tried using magic without coming into contact with a source of magic first, it was a relatively big risk. This game is meant to be unforgiving, but (and I wasn't going to tell you this yet) it's possible to alter your basic magic power, but how is up to you, it's one of the driving forces of this game.

 

Earth:

You can't find any corpses, but you do manage to find a piece of wood that is even better for bow-making than the last.

 

Thade:

You wake up, but feel a bit weak from being mentally sucker-punched by a deer.

[Earth]

i try to make a bow from the good peice of wood. (how did i roll for my necromancy?)

[Seraphi]

(It is possible to make something challenging and fun at the same time. Insta-gimping somebody at the start of the game due to a single low roll is pretty much the exact opposite of that.)

 

Thade sits and meditates on magical power.

[Nexaduro]

Hm, well, what do you suggest Ross? I meant for early, unaided magic to be fairly weak in this game anyways. Earth, you rolled a 9 trying to find a body.

 

Earth:

You make a strong, unstrung bow (specify the type of bow you wanted to make, please. You have 2 actions left.

 

Ross:

You begin to meditate, and gasp as you are nearly knocked unconscious once again as visions of the magical plane fill your mind. You realize that your level of power is barely defined, and prone to fluctuation. You remove the barriers around it, and it joins with the rest of the pure magical energy. You attempt to create new barriers, and feel that your magical prowess has doubled. You have 3 actions left. (Your level is now Medium-Low, a score of 8.)

 

How about I allow periodic re-rolls of magical power, or perhaps use a 1-100 RNG that rolls daily and increases your resevoirs of power (like divine faith in MaDe)?

 

Anyways, gotta go, the day will continue tomorrow.

[Earth]

wanted a long bow. my next action is to make arrows, and find somthing to use as a string.

[Seraphi]

Yeah, like a mana system. Seems like a good idea.

Mather seaches the forest floor.
