Illustrious JM...do you allow the old "I take a sip, see what it tastes like, and then spit it out if it tastes bad (with tasting bad=poison of course)" method of potion effect determination??

I didn't think so, but thought it was worth a shot.  We used to pull that one in our old D&D campaigns many moons ago.

Oh sure, I'd allow it.

But I wouldn't advise it.  After all, medicine often tastes awful, and antifreeze is sweet.

EDIT: Your advisers are split, Wulf.  What's it going to be then, eh?

That's why I specified good stuff tastes good you silly JM!

Anyways, assuming my fellow players are cool with it, Creature will chug the canteen- better to burn out than to fade away.

Quote from: Age of Fable;256479I'll continue with my plan, unless Quazarn objects:

pick the locks, or shoot them off.
have the door closed.
lock the door if it locks, or if not have Quazarn stand against it, so that we know when the Chief's coming back.

[No objections, but how are we gettin' outta here?]

I convinced the camera-bot to stop recording. Hopefully there aren't any other cameras around [have I noticed any?].

Quote from: ttagxamm;256387...if ya'll are feeling lucky: 5% chance it's a healing potion, 5% chance it's klengon "surrender ale."  Given how klengons feel about surrender, the ale is a deadly poison

Low roll: Potion.  High Roll: Posion...

The suspense is killing me...

Once the Chief is out of sight Quazarn & Hobson duck into the locker room.  There's no sign of Chet the orc, nor anyone else, and Hobson doesn't spot any cameras on the way.  

A black mood seems to have come over Quazarn, who stands watch near the swinging door of the locker room, brooding silently.  Striving for an air of mystery and danger, the effect is spoiled by the conehead's quivering lower lip.*

Hobson sets to the lockers with a bobby pin and a laminated library card, and thanks to shoddy craftsmanship opens the first two lickety split.  His findings, alas, are meager:  in the first is only a Beggar's Guild sun-visor, a tin cup and 2 GC; in the second a monks cowl, a string of plain wooden prayer beads, and an iron-shod staff.  The third lock just won't tumble.

*[My thought here, Doc, is that Quazarn is under a morbid psychometric cloud.  Feel free to chime in if/when you can but if you don't get a chance he'll just follow Hobson around.  Cool?]

Creature grabs the canteen from Buck and guzzles the cool water, stopping only to gargle and spit, rinsing the blood from his mouth.  

Smiling sweetly despite a split lip, Bob the Fighter trots up.  "Sure hate to bother you fellas, but things are just about to go FUBAR.  We got a few guys gone buck wild on those klengons, and that Sugar Ray fella puttin' on some kinda wild fandango, and then that Amazon gal is puttin' together some jim-jerry contraption.  And well the rest of us ain't any to sure if up is up and down isn't."  

He shrugs apologetically, "I guess we could use a little advice before this turns into a situation."

I'll try all the lockers unless something interrupts me.

[Great.  Go ahead and give me three new percentile rolls -- you're rolling steal, by the way, with some bonuses behing the JM screen.  Every three lockers takes you about 5 minutes -- I'll post your findings and any other events of interest after each set of rolls.

[Do let me know what if anything you're are *removing* from the lockers.]

[Double post.  This space reserved for devious JM ret-conning]

I've done a few 'sets' of rolls here.

Is the refreshing water helping Creature recover at all?

OOC:  My thought is that we offer leniency to any Klengons who will join up with us, and beat the others mercilessly.  Can Buck or Zarko head that up, while Creature gets his wind back?

[It has marvelous powers...of thirst quenching!]

[Your raggle-taggle band will answer to any of the PCs in the arena, yeah, with varying levels of tractability.]

[EDIT: Aside from minor updates I probably won't have much to say till this evening.  I was a lazy chump this morning and skipped the gym, so I think I may go for a walk at lunch instead of slouch in front of the computer.]

(I'm up for that, Wulfgar.  We can sure go that way...what do the rest of you think?  I doubt if Klengons will "join up", it'll probably just end up being a brawl, but I have no problem with staying in the fight.  At some point we gotta get to Daryl too.)
