Well, mark, what you achieved here was a total success!
I've just spent four hours nonstop playing solo and, wow, it gives such a solid, consistent play that just keeps you constantly immersed.
Here i give you my first adventure.
Too bad it had to end...
I'll come back with/for more soon!
I've just spent four hours nonstop playing solo and, wow, it gives such a solid, consistent play that just keeps you constantly immersed.
Here i give you my first adventure.
Too bad it had to end...
Quote:Who am i?
Mad scientist.
What do i Own?
Sword cane.
Narcotics.
First aid kit.
Where i am?
Moon base.
I find myself in a moon base, i'm at my lab, there's a lot of experiments going on.
I'm currently working with a very dangerous reaction, do i succeed in making it without harm?
(6[d10]) Yes.
What does the reaction do?
Quaintly / Rotten.
This reaction is capable of resurrecting the dead, but upon contact with the bare skin it can scorch.
I approach a lab monkey's corpse and pour the fluid onto him, Does the monkey return to life?
(6[d10]) Yes, but...
It goes berserk, quickly raising from the slab and destroying valuable equipment.
It runs towards a tank of explosive gas, Does he break it?
(3[d10]) No.
It bounces from the tank and escapes though the door.
A toxic warning alarm starts sounding and i run trough the door towards the corridor.
Is the monkey still at sight?
(5[d10]) No, but...
Trails of paws are all over the place.
Where do they lead?
12 = 12
North, the paws lead north and i decide to follow them.
I get on front of a airlock door, closed.
I try to open it with my security card.
Do i still have access granted?
(6[d10]) Yes, but...
The door seems to be jammed. At a closer inspection i can see bumps with the shape of a primate's paws.
i try to push open the door, am I strong enough?
(8[d10]) Yes.
I manage to push the door and rush forward inside of the room, where i encounter a:
Psychopath.
scientist that has been bitten by the monkey.
I unsheathe my sword cane and prepare to defend.
He rushes forward.
Does he hit me?
(7[d10]) Yes.
The scientist hits me with a:
Experimental device.
In the chest, destroying it in the act and leaving me with a
(4 = 4[d20]) Negligible: Nick/Scratch/Bruise.
I then give a step back and thrust my sword cane at him.
Do i score an attack?
(10[d10]) Yes, and...
The sword penetrates deep in his chest, leaving him with a
(23 = 20[d20]+3) Killed.
The lifeless body of the scientist is on one end of my sword, while my hand holds the other.
I try to take the sword out of the corpse. Does it work?
(2[d10]) No.
So, my sword is now stuck in the body of the scientist.
Is there anything on the room that i can use as a weapon?
(6[d10]) Yes, but...
Everything is stored in fingerprint-locked cabinets...
i try to use the dead scientist's hand to unlock it, Does it work?
(9[d10]) Yes.
So, the cabinet opens and i can see it's content.
How many items does it have?
3 = 3[d4]
So, i roam through the three weapon-able items and discover that they are:
Bottle of wine.
Dynamite.
Golf club.
I take the stick of dynamite and the golf club and proceed towards the next door, where monkey paws lead.
Is it open?
(3[d10]) No.
YThe door is closed, yet i search for an alternate way to proceed, do i find any?
(10[d10]) Yes, and...
I discover that is an air vent, it is open and has a stair reaching it. It would seem that someone was making repairs inside.
I climb the stairs and enter it. Can it hold my weight?
(7[d10]) Yes.
So, now, inside of the compact air vent i start crawling, without a specific direction.
at one moment i can see that a grate is open and the fall is not that big, so i jump into that room.
Is it empty?
(8[d10]) Yes.
I cross the room and go towards the door, i put my ear onto it and listen.
Is there any sound at the other side?
(10[d10]) Yes, and...
It seems that comes towards me, so i quickly get away from the door just when it gets broken by a charging:
Experimental prototype.
Of the genetic engineering department.
It keeps charging and i try to dodge it.
Did i jump on time?
(10[d10]) Yes, and...
I land just behind the prototype.
Just to prevent any accident and save my ass i attack it with my golf club.
Does my swing hit?
(9[d10]) Yes.
I hit the Prototype in the back, with great advantage and deal him:
(13 = 11[d20]+2) Moderate Injury: Hampers action significantly; will require first aid/medical attention.
Now his back shows a big, black bruise, but that only seems to make him angry, so he directs his big fist towards me.
Did he miss me?
(7[d10]) Yes.
The great fist goes just over my shoulder, hitting the back wall and leaving a bump.
I react quickly and attack him up front. Do i hit him?
(10[d10]) Yes, and...
I strike his face with rage giving him a:
(16 = 15[d20]+1) Severe Injury: Incapacitating and may become Critical if untreated.
I feel his skull shattering trough the shaft of my golf club.
The Prototype falls to the ground, dead, while the club is only a little bent.
My coat is full of blood.
I walk towards the hallway and observe.
is there any trace of the monkey?
(7[d10]) Yes.
I can see the paws marked on the wall, just that this time with blood, instead of dirt.
Where do they lead? (1:N, 2:E 3:S 4:W)
1 = 1[d4]
So, i go north.
I stumble upon a door, it seems open, is it?
(10[d10]) Yes, and...
It leads to a big room, where the scientist meet.
Is there anyone around?
(9[d10]) Yes.
How many?
6 = 6[d6]
Do they look infected?
(3[d10]) No.
I approach one of the scientists that stand there and ask him.
"Have you seen a crazy monkey?
(8[d10]) Yes.
He answers, and adds, "he was going towards the
Airport.
"Do you mean the spaceport?!" I said alarming.
"Yes, that one" the scientist answered.
"Is there anything i can use as a decent weapon?
(4[d10]) No.
"ok"
So i exit the room and head in direction of the spaceport.
when i'm about to reach it i find a big hallway.
Is there anyone here?
(7[d10]) Yes.
Sniper.
It seems that a Sniper unit has been outposted there, guarding the hall.
As he sees my blood-stained coat he freaks out.
Does he attack me?
(3[d10]) No.
I approach him and salute him. He asks me about the blood.
I tell him that i'll answer later, now i'm on a hurry, and just when he turns back, i take a swing towards his bare head. Is it a hole in one?
(7[d10]) Yes.
I strike his bare head with the golf club at an exhorbiting speed, leaving him with a
(22 = 17[d20]+5) Killed.
His brains pour out of his mangled head as his body convulses on the ground, striving for survival.
Finally he ceases moving.
I take his light sniper rifle and keep running to the spaceport.
Do i get there on time?
(3[d10]) No.
Just when i arrive, i see a big spaceship taking off and signs that the monkey is inside.
Is there any available spacecraft i can use to chase it?
(6[d10]) Yes, but...
It is guarded by the bodyguard of the leader of the moon base.
I'm desperate to stop that monkey, so i run towards me and quick as i can tell my stoory and ask for the ship.
He answers:
(4[d10]) No.
So i take my sniper rifle and, while facing to the opposite side to the door's opening i shoot him point-blank.
Did i shot him?
(5[d10]) No, but...
The recoil of the sniper rifle sends my light body flying backwards and into the ship.
Is the Moon base leader inside?
(1[d10]) No, and...
the ship operates in chinese.
I try to ignite by pure instinct.
Do i succeed?
(2[d10]) No.
Is there any Control-able escape pod?
(3[d10]) No.
Is there anything inside of the glovebox?
(8[d10]) Yes.
How many things?
3 = 3[d6]
Bottle of scotch.
Top-secret files.
Sword cane.
I take the sword cane and the top-secret files.
Do the files contain any info about the operation of the ship?
(10[d10]) Yes, and...
They provide a guide to drive it "for dummies".
I ignite the ship and take off.
At a distance i can see the monkey's ship, gaining distance.
Can i reach it?
(1[d10]) No, and...
It seems it is going towards the earth.
I look in the secret files if there is any weapons system. can i find the page?
(6[d10]) Yes, but...
The part detailing the heat-seeking torpedoes is gone, so i'll have to stick with laser cannons.
I enter manual aim mode and place the ship in my crosshair.
I pull the trigger and the ship emits a bolt of red pulsing energy that quickly flies in direction of the ship.
Did i aim well?
(9[d10]) Yes.
The bolt of laser strikes the ship and leaves it with:
(2 = 2[d20]) Negligible: Nick/Scratch/Dent.
Yet the ship slows down it's ascension to turn around and search for it's attacker.
Does it find it?
(1[d10]) No, and...
it seems it's speed is going down, so, if i keep shooting i might reach it on time.
I aim and fire again.
Is it a hit?
(10[d10]) Yes, and...
It strikes the ship in one of the propulsion engines, leaving it with a
(16 = 14[d20]+2) Severe Damage: Incapacitating and may become Critical if not addressed.
The ship slowly precipitates down into the ground, the lunar atmosphere making it a long task. By the moment it crashes with the moon's soil i'm already there.
I look around inside of my spaceship.
Is there any astro-suit?
(9[d10]) Yes.
I wear the astro-suit and open the door.
Does the formed vacuum suck me into space?
(9[d10]) Yes.
I quickly get launched into the moon's orbit, however i turn my back to the ground and fire the sniper rifle.
Does the recoil invert my flight?
(5[d10]) No, but...
It stops it, leaving me with the task of swimming to the ground.
Once i'm outside the wrecked ship i Try to open it up. Does it?
(7[d10]) Yes.
I enter the spaceship, and just as i close the door, the heads of several passengers explode in a choir "pop!" because of the decompression.
Is there any trail of the monkey?
(10[d10]) Yes, and...
Just as i look for him, he opens a door and rushes into a room. i can see it is now changed into a
Just as i look for him, he opens a door and rushes into a room. i can see it is now changed into a
Kill / Possessions.
Murdering beast now armored with the clothing of many a civilian.
It approaches me and senses my intention to seize him for studying his behavior.
Does he react well?
(3[d10]) No.
The monkey raises his paw high up and launches a strike towards me.
I try to dodge. Do i?
(10[d10]) Yes, and...
I unsheathe my sword cane just in time to strike him.
Do i hit?
(8[d10]) Yes.
I strike the monkey in the ribs, giving him a
(17 = 18[d20]+-1) Severe Injury: Incapacitating and may become Critical if untreated.
The monkey retches in pain and slaps at me with his claws. Does he break the helmet and scratch my face?
(10[d10]) Yes, and...
He wounds my right eye, leaving me with a red vision.
I get a
(1 = 2[d20]+-1) Negligible: Nick/Scratch/Bruise.
On the nose,also.
I lift high my sword and direct it towards the monkey, Hit?
(3[d10]) No.
As the monkey watches the sword fall directed to his head, he punches the blow away and swings in direction of my chest.
Is it a strike?
(4[d10]) No.
The punch he gave to the sword made me fall back and onto the ground, so his kick touched nothing but air.
as i lie on the floor i try to stab him from underneath.
My bloody eye makes it hard to see where i strike.
Did i strike?
(3[d10]) No.
The blow wasn't even close to the monkey and ended up cutting half of a seat and an arm of the headless corpse sitting there.
The monkey tries to step on my face. Can i avoid it?
(10[d10]) Yes, and...
I end up in an advantaged position that lets me push my sword trough his body.
Do i push with enough strength?
(10[d10]) Yes, and...
The Monkey gets almost cut in half, receiving a
(9 = 6[d20]++3) Minor Injury: Largely superficial; painful and distracting, but not life threatening.
Because of his undead nature.
He turns around, twisting the sword in his torso and letting it go, then tries to bite at me.
I protect my face with my astro-suit glove. Is it thick enough?
(4[d10]) No, but...
the monkey gets his fangs stuck on it, giving me time to take off the glove and strike at him again, with a terrible aim.
I hit something.
Was it the monkey?
(9[d10]) Yes.
I hit the monkey while it struggles to remove the glove from his mouth. i deal him a
(4 = 4[d20]) Negligible: Nick/Scratch/Bruise.
on the shoulder, so he tries to hit me, with his view obstructed.
Did he hit?
(2[d10]) No.
The monkey punches the air as i rise my sword again and take a weak blow.
Something crushes under my sword, but i can't see with my bloody eye.
When i look with my good eye, will the monkey be hurt?
(2[d10]) No.
Indeed, once again i seem to have hacked at the headless corpse in the seat, now, tearing it's shirt apart and spilling his vowels all around the floor.
The monkey spits the last pieces of glove and Jumps towards me.
Did it hit the roof?
(5[d10]) No.
The monkey did a straight jump and landed a punch on my chest, giving me a
(17 = 19[d20]+-2) Severe Injury: Incapacitating and may become Critical if untreated.
Fortunately, the suit protected me from certain death.
I try to grab the monkey by the head.
Did i grab his head?
(6[d10]) Yes.
I grab his head and put the bastard in front of me.
He throws punches at all directions.
(2[d10]) No.
No punch even caresses me.
I take my sword and aim to his body.
Do i strike?
(8[d10]) Yes.
(24 = 19[d20]+5) Killed.
I hack with greater strength at his neck, and as if it were paper, his neck snaps and his body falls to the ground, still undead, but unable to attack.
I throw his head away and clean my hands, then i proceed to use my nano-healing kit.
Do i succeed?
(5[d10]) No, but...
At least the pain goes away.
I look for another astro-suit.
Is there any around?
(6[d10]) Yes, but...
broken.
Does it have the pieces mine lacks?
(9[d10]) Yes.
I patch up my astro-suit and stand at the door.
I take the dynamite stick and my last match.
Does it burn?
(9[d10]) Yes.
I light the dynamite stick and drop it inside of the fuel area, then exit trough the airlock.
Do i get away in time?
(6[d10]) Yes, but...
Unlike what i thought the ship implodes, hurling me towards it.
Do i survive the crash?
(10[d10]) Yes, and...
I Still have enough strength to return home.
Did the implosion attract anyone?
(6[d10]) Yes, but...
They're cops and they try to arrest me.
Are they armed?
(9[d10]) Yes.
I aim the sniper rifle and shoot the last bullet at the police craft.
Did i hit it?
(1[d10]) No, and...
They ready their lasers at me.
And shoot.
Did they aim?
(8[d10]) Yes.
I feel something scorching, and as i look at my left arm i see it bears a
(23 = 20[d20]+3) Killed.
...as i look at my left arm i see it bears a scorching mark, that breaches the astro-suit and decompresses my body.
My view starts to blur as i see how my own blood starts floating in all directions.
Then i can hear, a seemingly distant shouting, about me killing hundreds of innocents, damaging and destroying private property and important research.
Soon, my helmet's visor is covered in vomit, my body is fighting to breathe.
Then i start losing consciousness and fall over.
The last thing i can see is those lights, reds and blues over the beautiful lunar landscape.
I fall into an endless void of silent darkness.
I'll come back with/for more soon!
