Roll to Dodge II - Again!

Hey guys, want to Roll to Dodge? (Game originally by Korejora.)

Rules are very simple.

Step 1) Do stuff.

Step 2) I roll a die and tell you what actually happens.

If something is coming to hit you, even if it's not your turn, you'll get a roll to dodge it. You lose if you die. You win if all the other players have lost (though feel free to cooperate regardless).

Updates will happen randomly, resolving any outstanding actions players have taken. Anyone can join or leave at any time. Those who rejoin will be in the same place that they were when they left.

Special actions:
- Taking note of your surroundings does not require a roll.
- Joining the game (even if you have already played and lost previously) automatically succeeds; the roll simply determines
how
you do so.

Restrictions:
- You cannot take the same action twice in a row. If you try, then you'll probably fail.
- The more you try to do, the bigger the consequences if you fail.
- If multiple actions are submitted before the turn is resolved, I'll ignore everything except the first. Don't be greedy.

Rolls are on a normal die with six sides. The higher the roll, the more successful the action was. The more ambitious the activity is, the harder it is to succeed and the more dire the consequences of failure.

1 - Epic failure. (Opposite of original intention occurs, or whatever is funny.)
2 - Failure.
3 - Marginal success.
4 - Success.
5 - Perfect success.
6 - Overshot.

There is virtually no limit to what you can do. Don't go too far, though; you have a 50% chance of something going wrong, and even a 3 or 4 might not get you very close to what you want. After all, I am the mod, and I can do whatever I like. It generally involves unicorns, and guns.

You begin the game in the ruins of a McDonald's, after multiple unicorn stampedes have destroyed the place. You are clothed, and have a toothbrush in your pocket. Also, Monika is a queen.

I smite a unicorn with my fiery screwdriver.

Also, CFoH does some destroying too, probably.

(3) You get a strange feeling of deja vu. Then you wonder why there is a bed in McDonald's.
Roll to dodge: 1

You go back to sleep. It's cosy.
MafiaSSK wrote:I find a spellbook.
(6) You find a whole library, containing every book in existence. In case you were wondering, no there are not flesh eating shadow creatures that kill people, and there is not a sentient computer girl in the centre, and there is not a huge moon.

(2) You can't catch a unicorn, just like you can't catch a falling star.
Roll to dodge: 5

A passing unicorn tries to gore you, but luckily it gets bored before it touches you.

(1) He doesn't exist.

(1) You're too busy being naked. Did I mention that you're nude?
Roll to dodge: 3

You are being attacked by a suit. As in, the clothing.

(2) I think you left it next to your leprechaun harpoon, and your fairy slingshot. But you do have the fairy bow, and the Ocarina of Time! You don't know any songs, before you ask.

(6) You batter bird1111 so purple bruise marks appear all over his body. Now he's purple! It suits him.
Mokina wrote:I don a queen hat.
(6) You put a queen hat on, and put on some queen clothes, and get some queen servants to bring you some queen juice. Made with real queens!

(4) Your gyrations are mildly pleasing, but everyone's still down in the dumps of McDonald's.
StrangerCoug wrote:I reopen the art store.
(3) You've encountered a snag with the tax forms. You can't work out whether you want the Form X12 filled in with a green pen, or a purple highlighter.

(1) The mod is too busy being astounded that someone read the opening situation to actually process your request.
xelada wrote:I become a technomancer
(2) You spend lots of time quoting Neuromancer, and complaining about how the Matrix was just a glorified action film.
molestargazer wrote:I decide to root around for any leftover food.
(3) Most of it's been eaten, apart from a three week old sandwich.
Roll to dodge: 5

Your intuition tells you that eating this sandwich is a bad idea.
pacman281292 wrote:I eat a sandwich.
(4) You nick the sandwich out of molestargazer's hands, and wolf it down, damning the consequences.
Roll to dodge: 1

You're pregnant, and you're the father!

(3) The Cleansing Fire of Hell is sulking in the corner, and your screwdriver has gone out. You still stab a unicorn a couple of times, but then you attract their attention.
Roll to dodge: 3

The fight's a fairly even one, you can't tell who's going to win. You're down to two healing surges, and you've used most of your encounter powers, but since it's Forth Edition, the monster have infinite abilities.

LoL thats nice, i read the opening scene and my request to build shank gets denied? :P (i know it depends on die role)

Ok then I try to suffocate Korts in unicorn dung.

I prod CFoH into action, saying "I could use a
hand
screwdriver".
