ROOM 4

[dramatispersonae]

[You find yourself in an oversized living room, there are huge chairs, huge tables and huge book shelves. It looks like a child with a permanent marker decided to scribble huge numbers on most of the furniture, gosh, what could that possibly mean?

To the north, there is a dining table that could sit ten people, the table is set but someone left a cushion on top of it. Behind the table there are two large display cases, they are mostly empty, you could probably climb them.

There are couches south, most of them with cushions on them. There are also a couple of small tables and a larger, lower one in the middle, as well as two bookshelves, you can’t see what’s on top of them from where you’re standing, but it looks like some of it might fall down.

Finally, what looks like very far in the east, there is a chair with wheels and a desk, if you’re from modern times you might recognize a desktop computer on it.]

[NOTE: Only noticeable difference for your characters is that they are currently capped at the strength and skill of an eight year old child. You also have no magic/mindreading/etc. Sorry about that, Don Goyo loves you.]

[flops on a couch]

So where'd everyone else go?

[sticksofthejedi]

[gravitating in the direction of the computer]

Other areas, probably.

[unfortunateson]

I--how odd--ah, good morning to you.

[fraternaldevotion]

Other rooms, I assume.

[theshadowturnedhero]

[Looks around.] Yuta and Obsidian are gone...

[Well, she's worried now. Where DID they go?]

[theshadowturnedhero]

[Wow, it's like I'm that bitty I was in that one memory again.]

[haveaniceday]

. . . So we will be split up for this game.

[unfortunateson]

So it appears.

[fraternaldevotion]

It seems to be the case.

[uroboric]

Does that happen often?

[madasahero]

[Goes check the two bookshelves. Are there books?]

[fraternaldevotion]

Looks like we're working together again.

INSTRUCTIONS

[dramatispersonae]

[READ IT! READ IT ALL. Then poke me for questions, but if you ask me a question I can answer by quoting this back to you, I will EAT YOUR FIRSTBORN]

The floor is lava, jump through the furniture to try to get to the safest spot!

[MAP!1]

* The blue squares are spots for people! If there is only one blue square only one person can be in that piece of furniture.

* The red marks are objects! They will deduct points to your score if you drop them.

* The green squares are cushions! If you are the first person to reach a piece of furniture with cushions in it, you may grab it.
- cushions are IMMUNE to lava, so you may use them as stepping stones.
- once you reach a safe spot, you may lean back down to recover your cushion.
- you may carry up to two cushions at a time, but be careful, people might fight you for them.

* The blank squares are squares you can toss cushions on. You can’t use them elsewhere.

* The purple squares are a computer desk with wheels and a rolly chair. If you make it to one of them you'll get three extra points for your team on top of everything else.

DYNAMICS!

[dramatispersonae]

DYNAMICS!
* Choose to which square you're trying to move.
- The piece of furniture you want to move to has to be linked by a line to your current location.

* Roll a dice by typing roll!1d10 on IRC.
- If you roll the value of the square you're trying to move into or a higher one, your move is successful. (IE, you want to jump to a 5 and you roll a 6)
- If you roll two points or less under the value of the square you're trying to move to you will succeed, but you might drop an item to the lava and get points deducted from your final score. (IE: you want to jump to a 5 but you roll a 3)
- If you roll three points or more under the value of the square you are trying to get to you will fall to the lava, die, and have to sit out the rest of the round. (IE: you want to jump to a 6 and roll a 3)
- If you want to move to a square with a lower value than the one you are currently on, you don’t have to roll.

* You can help other people reach a spot if you are either on the same piece of furniture or on the one they are trying to reach. If you choose to do this, you can roll!1d6 and your points will be added to theirs. This does not make you lose a turn.

* You may choose to skip a turn (or several) if you feel safe and want to chill in your place.

* One round will probably last 6 turns.

Round 1

[dramatispersonae]

[KNIGHTS HAVE BEEN GIVEN ARMBANDS TO SIGNIFY WHICH TEAM THEY'RE PLAYING WITH.

Also surprise you don't get a random helper, you get Jacobi]

Mm, Ruby and Iolite, you will be teaming together for this game, and the same goes for Sapphire and Citrine. You will be awarded points according to where you are at the end of the round.

THE FLOOR IS LAVA.

[the floor does not actually turn to lava! But you have the average strength and skill of an 8 year old child. Magic, mind powers and other abilities are nixed during the game.]

Re: Round 1

[unfortunateson]

What is--

[god what. okay jumpin' to SQUARE 3S.]

Round 2

[unfortunateson]

[now to 5AA]

Turn 3

[unfortunateson]

[heading to 5GA with Yellow's help and one of her cushions, and picking up a second one when he gets there]

[INTERMISSION MINGLE]

[dramatispersonae]

[Jacobi is back]

My, what an interesting round. You may take a break to stretch your legs if you wish, but I would . . . mm, strongly suggest you be back to your spots before the horn sounds. And I'll know if you cheat or not, so I wouldn't try if I were you.

Re: [INTERMISSION MINGLE]

[unfortunateson]

This whole thing is rather . . . [:|a]

Re: [INTERMISSION MINGLE]

[fraternaldevotion]

[THIS GAME IS SILLY]

Re: [INTERMISSION MINGLE]

[sticksofthejedi]

I wonder if we should even try for the table, the way things are going?

Round 2

[dramatispersonae]

[once everyone's returned to their spots, and those who fell off found a spot to claim, the floor . . . becomes softer, and gosh did it just get hotter in here?]

And now we'll continue. THE FLOOR IS LAVA.

[. . . and the floor is actually lava this time. The spot you're standing on right now feels a lot less solid, and it might even be melting . . . but the furniture is a lot more steady, it seems]

Move quickly, teams.

Re: Round 2

[unfortunateson]

[ . . . gosh. okay making the leap, and making it, just barely]

Second Turn

[unfortunateson]

[like hell I am going anywhere. SITTING ON THIS CUSHION WITH MY TINYFRIEND]
