While We Wait: Build You're Own Adventure

[ComicRelief]

Harbor:

You are standing in the harbor, surrounded by adventurers of all sorts. There is a weapons shop here. There is a magic shop here. There is a mailbox here. Exits can be found to the North, East, West, and South.

> Open mailbox

Mailbox: You see a letter in the mailbox.

> get all

Letter: Taken.
Mailbox: It is affixed firmly to the ground.
Adventurers: What, are you kidding?

[Lyria]

You see a rustic old tavern before you, the noise of a crowd coming from within. A sign above the door reads "The Overflowing Tankard".
>enter

You enter the tavern.
The tavern is packed with a crowd of locals, farmers, and weary travelers. In one corner you notice an old, hooded man smoking a pipe.
>look man

The man is older, haggard, but still with a gleam in his eye. Fragrant smoke swirls about him from the pipe he's smoking. He seems to be beckoning you over.
>approach

Who do you want to approach?
>approach old man

You walk over to the old man.
"Greetings, adventurer," he says, chuckling quietly. "I thought I recognized a fellow lover of danger and daring-do in you. If you'd like to sit and listen, I have a story of a treasure-filled cavern I could share with you..."

>stab old man
What?

>stab old man with sword
You don't have a sword.

>get fork
You pick up a fork from the table.

>stab old man with fork
Wait, seriously?

>stab old man with fork
You're really going to stab the guy you're getting the quest from? With a FORK?

>stab old man with fork
Sigh. Fine. You stab the old man with the fork. He lets out a gurgling cry and falls over dead. Happy?

>loot body
Oh come on now, you're going to loot the corpse too? What kind of adventurer are you?

>throw body
Where do you want to throw the body?

>throw body in fire
You're sick, you know that? Sick in the head.

>quit
You've quit the game. Your score is 0/450. But really I should give you -100 points for KILLING THE QUEST GIVER. Criminy. Psychopath.

Mailbox: It is affixed firmly to the ground.
Adventurers: A smile comes forth as the completion of this blade has been a long time coming>

ROFL and +1

roll d100 for lag and check table 1.

Table 1.

01-100: You will experience lag that is going to wreck your game play and make the game less fun to play. See table 2.

Table 2.
You must be a hardcore D&D player and a big fan of the lore of this game, Even though you were in the heat of battle you were not and the fact that you are still here speaks volumes, otherwise you would have rage quit this game a long time ago. Hang in there and troll about the lag in the forums because it is what the community does.

P.S. If PnP had lag the DM would fall asleep or space out every 2d4 rounds and we would have to accept it as part of the game and we would still play it or pack up our character sheets and leave.

This could have been a fun thread for each player to continue the story but no we have to have trolls mess it up, figures.

>Enter weapons shop

You enter the weapons shop

Weapons Shop: As expected, you see a variety of different weapons on disply. There is a salesman behind the counter. There is a tall, lanky looking man milling about, eyeing you. There is a rug here. There is a plant here. There is an inner door here. Exits are North and South.

>examine plant

There is nothing special about the plant.

>examine rug

You move the rug. "Hey!" yells a woman who came from the inner door, "Stop messing up the place. I just cleaned it." She moves the rug back into place then disappears behind the inner door.

>talk to man

Which man?

>salesman

What do you want to talk about?

>show letter

"Ah!", says the slaesman, "Yes, I have your weapon right here. That'll be 10,000pp, please."

>pay the man

You have no money.
