Neverending Tale (Game)

[Arkaquiavel]

Put on your hat in an attempt to woo this powerful stranger.

@Asura

Derilah puts on her red cap, which has "Make the library great again!" written on its front.

[Asura]

Ask him why the doors are unlocked if the place needs a guard.

@Asura

Someone's very confident.

[Asura]

Ask him if only amateurs get scars.

[rocketrobie2]

Try to impress him by spinning your broom around like a helicopter

[Mae]

Look up a guide on how to get the best ending for this guard's romance route.

@rocketrobie2

Impressiveness Roll (1d20): 1
Derilah spins her broom around like a helicopter. There's no absolute way she could fail to do this, due to all practice she had during her free times as a Janitor and a Retired Janitor. However...



...the act left the guard reactionless out of sheer monotony.

Look up a guide on how to get the best ending for this guard's romance route.

@Mae

Derilah wonders why passed through her head something which would imply she even wanted to begin any sort of romance route with the guard she just met. Either way, even if she actually wanted to do such thing, she still has no guide to look up.

You've got the GM's advice, however, according to which the ships are meant to develop along the adventure.

[Asura]

Pretend you didn't just waggle your broom around and ask where this place is.

[rocketrobie2]

Sit on the floor because your legs ache from standing constantly for a day an a half

[Mae]

slowly back away towards the chest (or crawl, if you're resting)

[Arkaquiavel]

Pretend you didn't just waggle your broom around and ask where this place is.

@Asura

Derilah believes none of this, which means she won't suffer any sort of identity crisis, which means she won't notice the voices in her mind controlling her so soon. Phew.

Sit on the floor because your legs ache from standing constantly for a day an a half

@rocketrobie2

slowly back away towards the chest (or crawl, if you're resting)

@Mae

Derilah finds it more practical to first back away all the way to the chest by walking, and then sit there, just before opening it.
The guard simply stepped aside to let her pass, only turning around to see what she's doing, out of curiosity.



Whatever that thing is, it looks radioactive. Most likely just some sort of key for something else which has to be opened later, however.
Derilah doesn't hesitate in moving it to her inventory.



(I'm seriously considering a Graphical Upgrade within the next few updates. Nothing too special, just changing from using Paint to using multiple-layered files on another drawing program I know. Although I might also take that chance to change some bits here and there.)

[IntPenDespSword]

Make experiments conclusive to the components of the gem.

[UraharaSteph]

Ask the Guard what his name is, ignore what answer he gives and rename him Clyde.

[JBRam2002]

Attempt to eat a random item from the inventory.

[Mae]

Examine how safe the ladder looks. Maybe ask Clyde about it.

[rocketrobie2]

Ask Clyde where the sages are whilst attaching the radioactive stone to your broom

[Asura]

Ignore how safe the ladder is and cannonball down the hole.

[IntPenDespSword]

Make sure self doesn't die.

[Arkaquiavel]

Make experiments conclusive to the components of the gem.

@IntPenDespSword

Due to a lack of materials to perform experiements with, Derilah cannot do much.

After attempting to scratch the gem with a coin, she concludes the gem has a Mohs mineral hardness higher than 3, and after breathing on the gem and sniffing it, she concludes the gem isn't made out of clay, as it doesn't smell like clay.

Little information with little usefulness, really.

Attempt to eat a random item from the inventory.

@JBRam2002

Item Index Roll (1d6): 1



Derilah attempts to eat her cap, but it is too big for her mouth, so she simply gives up and puts it back on her head.
The guard seems to be getting used to all the weirdness. Either that, or he has given up on trying to find any satisfactory reason behind it, and so remains quiet of mouth and mind alike.

Ask the Guard what his name is, ignore what answer he gives and rename him Clyde.

@UraharaSteph

Derilah stands up and turns around, looking at the guard.

Ask Clyde where the sages are whilst attaching the radioactive stone to your broom

@rocketrobie2

Strange...

Examine how safe the ladder looks. Maybe ask Clyde about it.

@Mae

Ignore how safe the ladder is and cannonball down the hole.

@Asura

Derilah has difficulty deciding between both options, as they just sound so good in her head (equal votes), and so decides to pick one randomly.

Decisiveness Roll (1d2): 1



Derilah walks closer to the ladder and examines it. It seems very stable itself, but Derilah's unsure about how well it might be supported.




For a moment, Derilah wonders what would happen if the ladder were taken from its place and deployed somewhere else. Of course, nothing too special would likely happen...

Make sure self doesn't die.

@IntPenDespSword

That's Derilah's instincts' job, and you can be sure they're currently at work. Of course, big part of what happens to her will depend on her Decisions...

[Asura]

Make Clyde go down first.
