You know how they say everyone has two wolves inside them? I don't have a good one and a bad one, I have a smart one and a reckless one. Using my brain, which has historically served me better than my body, while staying in cover, is definitely the smart thing to do, yet at the same time it...

Perception

I will myself not to make a sound as I manage to closely avoid the shooter, taking a couple of quick breaths. This feels less and less like a game. Somewhat belatedly, it occures to me that I should have crawled - perhaps then I would still have the element of surprise on my side, but now that's...

Perception+2

Stealth You get a bonus +3 due to having many hiding spots around you...

I can't help but smirk as Crackpot fails to make sense of the nickname. Has nobody taught you to look deeper?! It's more of an inside joke, really. Literally inside. But enough of distractions. The general aesthetics of the course as well as the sound and visual effects the guns and vests make...

"Oh, fuck you too," I mutter under my breath, half hoping Whiplash won't overhear it, half wishing he did. What the actual fuck does he (or she, with dwarves one can never tell) have against us?! I finish gearing up fast, more and more pissed off as I slam the helmet on and hope it's not going...

I want to estimate the most likely hiding places in the first room from where they will attack and also the best spots for myself, from where I can provide backup as well as do some hacking in cover.

For some reason, that knowledge doesn't bother me much, because I expected worse - jammed or completely disfunctional equipment that would give the others an unfair advantage. I chuckle as I begin to work on interconnecting us; it's a matter of seconds really. "Kind of like laser tag with a...

The first thirty minutes, I find, are always the worst, but after that one's body gets beyond the point of exhaustion, or the endorphines, adrenaline and all those other helpful things we used to call blood lust back in the day kick in. And then it feels like you can just go on and on forever...

HT DICE THROW

I mutter a non-commital agreement, having a hard time to stomach that I might have just been patronized. In all those months, I think I only came late once, and that was because of this dwarf who threw himself - or had been thrown? - under the train. He ended up in 27 pieces, blocking the...

Every day upon waking up, I have this moment of utter confusion that always repeats itself, no matter how many times I've slept in this very bed. Where's my axe? Is the sound I hear the clanking of swords on the battlefield or some messed up EVO experiement? What's reuquired of me? Or, wait...

"We should not be going upstairs at all," Setesh argues, looking around with the aid of his natural darkvision and the small light. "The life - or unlife - is downstairs. There must be a way to get there, even if it's not immediately visible. Look for all movable objects, anything that can be...

"Yes," Setesh answers ponderiously, forgeting for once about their disagreements because this clearly is a puzzle. "It is strange, though, that she cannot find any entrance into the cellar or whatever lays beneath the house." He has to admit that there appears to be no solution to the mystery...

Setesh frowns, concentrating on Akasha's report, and tries to picture where the Palladin had been. Was there an entrance to the cellar? Could she, in fact, have not disappeared, but merely gone to explore the place where he suspected the bodies of those ghosts were likely located? But then...

Setesh spins around, his usual indifference giving way to mild exasperation. Nothing is going the way it was supposed to - although, is there really a way things were supposed to go, given that they had knowlingy walked into a fucking trap? From then on, it has been pretty clear they would be...

Setesh finds himself almost genuinely smiling at Bram. Sacrificing Karl AND torching the house? Those have been two excellent ideas in about five minutes. Perhaps he should be more respectful of Karl in the future? "I believe the house definitely should have been burnt. It is the only safe way...

Setesh is not often surprised by someone being an asshole, because he expects little of people. But upon arriving to save their stupid asses, after having warned them about the creepy kids, he certaintly didn't expect such contempt. "I am here for Arala, as agreed," he replies in an emotionless...
