You've got to be fracking kidding me...
I rolled a 15 for my agility test.
Then, I rolled a 14 for how successful/bad it was.

Well, at least you delayed the suicide attempt :facepalm001:. Let's just hope Patent doesn't notice those wingblades.

No more from you two until one of the others posts. Maybe they'll have more luck.

Waaaghpower

Sounds good.
Also, I wasn't sure how much it would hurt to ram into someone while carrying wing blades in your mouth (and rollinga 14,) so I'll leave it up to you.

Just to clarify, this intelligence test http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4051201/ would mean that I've figured out somethings up, but I've screwed it up somehow, correct?

First up, all stat checks are made by rolling equal to or under your stat, so you failed you intelligence test unless you have an intelligence of 17 :P. As for the second roll, it isn't required here. This is the quote from earlier:

For the intelligence test I'm making everyone do you don't need a second dice roll, I'm letting you decide how a sudden bout of emotion would affect your character. This is one of those situations where you don't use the normal dice rolls.

Having said that, any subsequent actions like trying to flee, commiting suicide or attacking everyone else do require the usual method I mentioned earlier. Sorry for any confusion.

To be honest, having low dice rolls be good for stat checks while high rolls are good for everything else is probably a bad idea :-\. I won't change the rules right now, but if you feel it's unnecessarily confusing I might change them once you've finished at the temple. Thoughts?



One more thing. If one of you does realise somethings up (passing their test) and they try to tell the others, it will give everyone else a +3 bonus to their subsequent intelligence tests. Working out that something is wrong is easier when someone is telling you so. Also, passing the test doesn't get rid of the emotion, you just realise it's unnatural. You'll still feel happy/afraid/sad, although it will be easier to ignore.

I thought rolling lower was better? Like, rolling a 3 after crashing means you weren't burt that much?

Nope. The only time that a low roll is good is in stat checks (the first of the two rolls). Like I said, I think that was a mistake. Once we finish this little section I'll revise the rules to make them simpler.

It's just a pass/fail test, so any degrees of failure are entirely up to you. Besides who knows, you might even pass.

Nope, that all works for me, thanks for clearing it up. :)

 :facepalm001: Six failed intelligence tests? I'd like to congratulate you all on somehow offending the RNG so thoroughly.

Right. First of all, since you are all crashing into each other and acting crazy, I'm removing the -1 modifiers from Plumber and Thunder. Second, all of you get a +1 modifier on top of that. If you still fail, your character must do something stupid (previously I left it up to you; now I'm removing that choice) like attempting to flee into a monster infested forest, or commit suicide.

In addition, if you're bored of your current emotion,  I'll let you re-roll. Simply roll a d6 (before rolling your intelligence test) and see what you get:

1) joy
2) lust
3) anger
4) jealousy
5) depression
6) fear

Someone post, someone post,
One, two, three, four,
I would like someone to post,
One, two, three, four.

Plumber's Crack, cannot breathe,
Someone give him some relief,
Patent Pending wants to murder himself,
Stop him before he loses his health.

Someone post, someone post,
One, two, three, four,
I would like someone to post,
One, two, three, four.

Pale's obsessed, with a pineapple joke,
He wants to share the joy it awoke,
Thunder's trying flee out into the dark wood,
Despite all the monsters after her blood.

Someone post, someone post,
One, two, three, four,
I would like someone to post,
One, two, three, four.


In case you didn't work it out, it's sung to the tune of Raise this barn. I'm afraid I don't have the time or the imagination to write the remaining four verses :'(.
