The terrain isn't good enough for running. You find some place that is... slightly less soft.

-Okay Ellen. Time to see how good your knees are. Here goes nothing.

You try to push down the earth as strongly as you can, which turns out to be a bad idea. The terrain goes down right as you're about to jump. To be fair, it doesn't go down that much. The terrain isn't to be blame.




-gently caress, gently caress, gently caress, fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.




This was a bad, bad, bad idea.













"Holy poo poo, I'm gonna die."

"This is it. This is how I die. I woke up at the top of a mountain, and I will die falling in this hole some fuckhead carved."

quote:

I don't wanna die.



Time slows down.

You try to reach for the wall, but you can't. The gap was deceptively big. Maybe even your best jump wouldn't have made it.

quote:

I don't wanna die.

"If there's a miracle, please, please happen now."



You could swear that you're falling below ground level.

Of course. Earth had to come from somewhere to raise these walls.


"Please."


quote:

If there is a miracle, now would be a really good time to happen.


Fear. You remember this fear. You felt it before the last time everything turned to black. It's the fear of death.

Your last words are cursing endlessly. And then, it all fades to black.


Proceed.

B) Skull Bash - Your critical strikes have a chance to stun.
C) Sand Toss - [Action] Decreases enemy accuracy.
D) Backbone - You cannot take damage bigger than half your health per hit.

Guys and gals we're about to perish from a terrible drop.

There's only one ability presented here that could potentially save us from a lethal fall.

A vote for anything other than D at this point means you want to see what happens when our avatar dies! :gonk:

:toot:

A passive we can use regularly in fights that we're not already losing sounds good to me. Stun procs are pretty great.

Is their chance of activating based on how many crit strikes we roll in a vote total?

Now all we have to do is survive a collision with what appears to be loosely packed soil.

Can we grab the sides to slow down?

"Where are the Eons?"

-I swear, it's not with us! I swear!



"Do you have any idea how much trouble we went through to get that case?"


-I, I...

"Well, do you?"

-No, I mean, yes, I-

quote:

Ellen, I think he doesn't know.

"Bullshit."

"I saw the Red Dirks looking funny at us at the bar. And it was Red Dirks that attacked us the night we did the job."

-Yes, yes it was the Red Dirks but I swear we didn't steal your case!
-I swear by my life!

She sighs.

quote:

So you confess that your clan attacked us?

-Yes. I confess to that. But we didn't steal your case.

"Then explain to me, how the gently caress our three dozen Eons went missing. Only the Red Dirks knew about it."

-L, look, I wouldn't have, wouldn't
-I wouldn't -

He's shaking.

-I wouldn't made to this age, in this business, if I didn't know my limits. My, my boundaries!
-After you killed our members, we retreated.
-We, we, w-w-we saw the-

He looks at her. He's expecting mercy. He's looking at her. That pisses me off. Is he thinking he's getting away?

-We saw the sum total of your power.
-We retreat! We understand our defeat!

"Tell me, what's your age?"

-I, I am 65, ma'am.









"Very well then, Mister Made-To-65."























"You're about to feel the sum total of my club to your skull."


-N, N-No! It wasn't u-

To be fair I actually wanted Skull Bash the most but the Backbone ability seemed like the most crucial skill to learn in the moment.

I suppose we trade one bashed skull for another this way! :rowdytrout: What's a little more memory loss?

quote:

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR trrrrrrrrrr

You open your eyes. The sky is blue. A bright, striking blue. No cloud in sight. Not that you can see much from your vantage point.

"I remember seeing some clouds in the horizon yesterday. They could move to me, and pour all that delicious water."

You open your mouth.

-Please, clouds, I need some water. Pleeeeease.

Your mouth is extremely dry. You get up. The gem you had is still glowing. The club you had is... unbroken. You look at yourself - you don't seem to have any broken bones. Your head aches a bit. Your suit is still impervious.


As is your hat.


-No way. You're still here.


quote:

TTTTTTTTTTRRRRRRRLLLLLLLRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR trrrrrrrrrr

You hear an extremely loud noise, coming from the south. The entire earth shakes.

"Right. There's... a loud noise. That's new... I think."

The noise didn't startle you. You already feel disoriented enough. You take your gem and look at the ground. There's a crater that's about the shape of your body. The same goes for every other object you were holding. There's some dried blood around your head mark. You put your hand to the back of your head, but you can't feel anything on the surface level.





You're running on fumes. You sit down. You look at the blood. "How am I still alive?"

"I had a dream. I bashed someone's skull. Some thug. It must have faded to black just like it did for me when I hit the ground."

You sigh, and look to the skies above.

"Am I a cruel person?"






quote:

TTTTTTTTTTRRRRRRRLLLLLLLRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR trrrrrrrrrr

You hear that noise again. Maybe someone is causing it.

A) Scream loudly for help.
B) Try to break the wall in front of you.
C) Try to climb up the wall in front of you.
D) Try to climb back the wall behind you.
E) Try to climb the Canyon wall.
