Okay. The world was maybe almost over. Topher was more than a little freaked.

So out came the dice and the cape, and after making a quick annoucement, he set up at a toadstool with some character sheets for some pre-apocalyptic Dungeons and Dragons.

Kid had priorities.

[[OCD is up! Yep, idea stolen from Buffy 7x22, "Chosen." Anyone can play, and if you want to ICly be talked into it, lemme know and I'll have Topher get naggy. I have an AIM chat for this if you wanna pop in -- rpwithinanrpyegods. Have fun!

OH, and a million thanks to glacial_witch, brat_intraining, harpy_daughter and most especially not_a_parakeet for humoring me and teaching me how this works. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST AND I LOVE YOU.]]

Embark: To the Gnome King!

[dollpocalypse]

There are obstacles you first must face! DUN DUN DUN.

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King: BANDITS!

[dollpocalypse]

Sad. You've set off through the city and, woe, encountered some bandits. What do you do!?

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King: BANDITS!

[angelo_wings]

"Can I kill them?" Rinoa asked. "Wait, is this a trick question? Will I get arrested if I kill them? You said that weird guy in the pajamas couldn't drink. Murder's probably way more illegal than drinnking."

"My character..."

Squall looks down at his character sheet, considering his options. Fighting the bandits didn't seem to be one of them.

"...sneaks up behind them and picks their pockets?"

"Finally! Some action! I am going to sing them to sleep and then stab them in the face until they're all dead," Deadpool said cheerfully.

"Ke$ha works, right?"

"I'm...going to stand in the back and wait for you all to get hurt so I don't have to," Billy said.

Okay, maybe there were some perks to this cleric thing.

"Oh, I can probably protect, like, one of you. If you're going to make with the stabbing." Woe for only being Level 1.

"Aaploe-" Kitty was not going to be mastering that name tonight. "-uh, Rangers them. Which considering these fighting skills I think means she gets to kick their asses? Anyone? Anyone?"

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: Cursed Objects!

[dollpocalypse]

Some genius bought something that is now cursed to eat all your shoes. SOMEONE SHOULD DO SOMETHING.

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: Cursed Objects!

[furnaceface]

"... My bad," Jono intoned, grimacing a little. "Thorgy didn't think those crocs would be so hungry."

Thorgy, mind, was a little dim.

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: Cursed Objects!

"Our shoes? Seriously?" Pfftt. "One of you magic types freeze them or something!"

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: Sea Travel!

[dollpocalypse]

The gnome king's lair is set in some caves only accessible by sea, so to get out of the city and on the way you have to take a small boat. Kind of too small, really. Sorry about that.

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: Sea Travel!

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"I'm not swimming. Dibs on navigator," Kenzi said, folding her arms.

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[dollpocalypse]

Who didn't see that coming?

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"DAMN IT, THORGABELLA!"

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

"Can we fix the boat?"

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: UH OH, YOUR BOAT IS BROKEN

[throughaphase]

"I have, um," she said, looking over her sheet. "Well first, I have an animal companion I didn't see before. And I have... evasion. Can I evade the broken boat?"

Yeah, she knew that was a stretch.

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: OKAY YOU'VE REACHED LA-- HOLY CRAP THAT'S LAVA.

[dollpocalypse]

Now you're wishing you had those shoes, right?

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: OKAY YOU'VE REACHED LA-- HOLY CRAP THAT'S LAVA.

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

"Is anyone immune to fire?" Squall asked. He could be, in real life, if he wanted to, so it didn't seem all that strange for one of the characters to have elemental resistance.

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: MAYBE THIS IS THE CAVE?

[dollpocalypse]

It is not the correct cave. It's a cave full of witches who are trying to curse you and turn you into bats. Sorry.

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: And that'd be a dragon.

[dollpocalypse]

Well, shit.

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: Look! A damsel in distress!

[dollpocalypse]

Oh noes! There's a woman who's been cursed to recount her travel stories for the REST OF HER LIFE. Someone should save her omg!

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: But THEN

[dollpocalypse]

Huh. Why would a weird short dude in a cape come by and ask you for help with his garden? That sounds a little sketchy...

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: Shit. We may be prisoners.

[dollpocalypse]

Oops.

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: Hey, look, a convenient plot twist in your favor!

[dollpocalypse]

If you can solve some riddles, you'll be set free! ...for some reason!

Topher's not so good with the planning, you guys.

Re: Embark: To the Gnome King!: Freedom!

[dollpocalypse]

Now just grab the people you came to save and get out of here!

Or pick a fight with the gnome, if that's your style.
