Smoke 'em if you gottem!
Are you wanting a reason to shout out the result of a 20-sided dice roll, a saving throw, or maybe a reason to smoke a bowl because you failed your save?

Well this might end up being the place for you!

But it also might not.

This could also be Dirty Dorg's, suddenly showing up where it was least expected (Freebie: It IS that, it's Dirty Dorg's- the multi-dimensional bridge that's also a tavern that traverses dimensions and allows people, players, characters, and persona from the same to co-exist on one place).

And it may or may not be here, depending on whether or not enough people utilize the Observer Effect (aka Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle) to make it be a thing, in which case- it will be here, and a BYOB Summer CYOA extravaganza will proceed!

I'm rooting for it to happen, I kinda get a vibe that it'll be fun.

Let the credibility begin!

NOTE:

As in the past, I will rely on THIS RANDOM NUMBER WEBSITE to generate any random numbers for dice rolls.

You just put in the number that corresponds to the dice roll I ask for and roll for a result.

There are no stupid questions, I promise you- if you're even remotely interested, say "sure, yeah. What ever" and we'll help you through.

Otherwise, tell me about yourself.

What is your character at Dirty Dorg's in a previous game/RPG/comic book/what ever I'll work with you life?

Include a picture or internet jpg if you want.

Or not, it's up to you.

I hope enough people believe in it to make it real...

back when I used to play we had a rule where if you roll a 20 it was x2 damage but you got to roll again. a 1 on you're second roll meant you might have broken your weapon but still done the damage but another 20 would mean you do x3 damage and you kept rerolling until you got something besides a 1 or a 20.

Sentient Ondes Martenot



The sentient ondes martenot is:

- An electronic synthesiser, similar to but predating the theremin, invented in 1928 (not this one though, this one was built in a wizard's laboratory by its original owner, the theurgist Jacqueline the Mad)
- Completely immobile
- Not a sapient ondes martenot; has roughly the ability to perceive situations of a smart rat or stupid ape
- Unemployed, but hungry for it

Skills

- Beautiful, haunting ring-based oscillatory refrains [+4]
- Heavy (could be used to block door, weigh down trapdoor, balance scale, etc.) [+4]
- Comes with thin wire ring [+2]

If you roll a 1, 10 or 20 you re-roll, continuing to do so until another number is rolled.

Multiple 20s in a row creates miraculous events.
Multiple 10s rolled in a row can do the same.
Multiple 1s in a row lead to cursed events.
Combinations of 1s and 10s and 20s? DM's choice, and very comical results!

A structure shimmers into existence in the air before you, ethereal at first but eventually solidifying into shape and form.

It's a rustic building, roughly hewn from wood and stone, with a chimney sending out a stream of smoke, tempting and teasing with the scents of food and good company.

Dirty Dorg's has appeared!

Heather Snapps, a reptilian lizard man, Llany, an armadillo-like being, Breathless, a mutant, two-headed pointy-eared purpled haired humanoid, and a troupe of langur monkeys (fiercely guarding a limp, lifeless monkey-looking mannequin) are gathered outside.

A haunting, strange but oddly compulsive music begins playing from inside, where another group member awaits. The front door to Dirty Dorg's creaks open invitingly...

biosterous




Llany smiles in recognition of the rad bar where he met a bunch of friends (not to be confused with the previous rad bar where he met a bunch of friends) and strolls in!

if Dorg is manning the bar he'll wave and approach and order a bowl of grubs and an ale, and if Dorg isn't there he'll still order the same stuff but without presuming any familiarity with a stranger

Llany curls up into a ball and rolls into the front door, pops up at the bar and says hello to Dorg, the barkeep.

Dorg smiles faintly at an old friend, and with a nod and a flourish provides a bowl of Llany's usual, grubs as fresh as they could be.

It's as if Dorg knew Llany would be arriving, but that of course would be foolish.

Wouldn't it?

Heather Snapps wiggles the tip of their tail, ringing a bell. Not long thereafter, a bat appears, flitting about a bit and finally landing on the tip of Heather's tail, atop a silver bell that dangles from a string.

The haunting, melodic music plays from and odd yet comforting piano-like musical instrument in the corner; it wasn't there the last time, for folks already familiar with the place...

No one is playing it, it would appear that it is in fact playing itself.

Ass-penny

Breathlessness gasps out something unintelligible and follows the others into the building. Following Llany's lead they approach the bar and telepathically asks Dorg if they have any heavily irradiated foods available, and also for an ale. The smaller, less functional head in my neck creates little bubbles of spittle on it's lips.

The sentient ondes martenot, vaguely aware that it is meant to sit pretty in front of company, allows its keys to roll and ring to flurry and produces sounds of greeting. There appears to be some astral interference in the synthesiser, but for the most part it's in fairly good shape!

Ventral EggSac

The langurs enter, some through the doors and some through windows (if they are there). One of them brings the robot monkey and props it up seated so it can enjoy the music. Three of the others start going through cabinets and drawers
the other four just chill

A two-headed humanoid being enters the room, one of the heads drooling the other- it's face focuses ever so silently in concentration, and the Barkeep- who everyone knows is Dorg- despite not actually having been introduced to him- provides the newcomer with a lead platter that seems to be glowing a menacing, toxic green; and a tankard of ale.

On the other side of the bar, Dorg provides the party of langurs with a bowl of figs.

Smoke 'em if you gottem!
After Dorg puts out a plate of figs for the langurs, they drag their limp, deactivated party member with them and converge on the figs. Dorg walks over to the robot monkey, now discarded (these were very tasty, fresh figs- the robot monkey was far from their concern) and examines it for a moment.

One of the monkeys looks up from their repast, notices what Dorg is doing, and looks concerned for the briefest of moments.

Then it digs back in to the figs.

Dorg reaches into his pocket, pulls out a thick, heavy looking glove, and pulls out a pouch from another pocket. Reaching his gloved hand into a pouch (which was quite clearly smaller than Dorg's hand, and it shouldn't fit but it does) Dorg pulls out a glowing green gem. Using the ungloved hand, he pushed a button in the back of the robot monkey's head, snaps the head back, and places the glowing green gem inside. He then snaps the head shut again, and the eyes of the robot monkey begin to glow green.

The robot monkey stands up, and walks over to the group of langurs. They stop eating, circle the robot monkey three times, after which it sits down and they all resume eating.

The robot monkey looks around the room.


Everyone roll a 20.

Breathlessness slurps down the toxic looking stew, some radiation to feed the mutations.

The robot monkey is strange and a little unnerving but no one's too upset by its presence.

The sentient ondes martenot continues to play a light melody in the corner.

Android Blues

The sentient ondes martenot shuffles its keys without lifting and rotating its ring, its melody interrupted by a series of blarts. It has rolled a 2.

Stoner Sloth

It takes some time to become apparent to most of those present, if at all, but there is a certain "spot" within the tavern that can be defined most obviously by the fact that no one stays in it long. Patrons within the roughly circular perimeter move away sniffing slightly at the air and looking mildly puzzled and perhaps mumbling quietly to themselves.

This circle of disquiet doesn't seem confined to a particular segment of the inn, instead slowly moving its way over towards the table. As it approaches there is a growing sensation among those caught within, perhaps from a familiar fruity smell or an image in yellow caught out of the corner of an eye? Those affected become increasingly convinced that there is a(n) indeterminate amount of bananas present... though clearly there aren't any visible.

((Sorry for the slow start, I'll play A Localized, Sapient Area In Which There Are Signs of Bananas Despite None Being Present))

((It rolls a 15))

The Robot Monkey lives!!!

Pot Smoke Phoenix



Smoke 'em if you gottem!
The robot monkey pans its baleful green gaze around the room first one way, then the other- as if scanning for something. After a sweep, its eyes dim down considerably, and it looks for its langur companions.

After spotting them, it seems to be standing guard over them as they eat the figs.

Everyone present detects the slightest whiff of something fruity, a tropical sweet smell.

Perhaps of bananas...

The sentient ondes martenot switches tunes abruptly and begins to play a quick, dramatic song; a merry chase scene perhaps? But WHY?


Everyone roll a 20!

A tendril of thought extends from the multi-colored orb and takes the offered blunt. The cherry glows red, and a stream of smoke blows out from it.

The eyes once again glow a bright green and spray out from the robot monkey to the orb. The eyes darken; the robot monkey does not appear to perceive it as a threat.

A disembodied voice suddenly speaks, from nowhere and yet everywhere at once:
