Title: 'Stranded'
Post by: veryweirdguy on Tue 19/07/2011 16:44:36
(http://pucomic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/adventure1.jpg)

Your car has broken down on the highway, at least 100 miles from the nearest town. There is a payphone next to you, and there appears to be a wooden shack by the roadside in the distance.

You are currently carrying: your wallet, a mobile phone (with no signal available), chewing gum, car key.

What do you do?

Your knee hurts considerably and there is no effect on the car. You immediately regret your action.

Call the motoring organisation with a coin from your wallet and chew the gum while waiting for them to arrive. You might also walk to the shed, find hens and eggs there and make you some nice fried eggs on your vehicle grill.

"Hello, is that the motoring organisation?"

"Speak up, I can't hear you."

"Oh sorry, I'm chewing gum. My car broke, can you help?"

"Sure, we'll send someone over. Can you tell us your loca-*BZZZZZT* I'm sorry, the area you are trying to reach is restricted. You need higher clearance. *DIAL TONE*"

"...Hello?"

You don't know what's in the shack yet. Looks like a fair walk away.

Go to that wooden shack by the roadside in the distance where you'll find a horse and a horse-carriage which has one wheel is broken that you're able to fix with your chewing gum.

There are some papers in the shack. Oh, and a headless body.

There appears to be no food.

On closer inspection, you find a trapdoor! How exciting!

There is another trapdoor under the first trapdoor, rendering the first one pointless. This one is locked, but has a keypad.

Breath heavily on the keypad and then put some dust on top. Then blow the dust off and see in which keys the dust has remained most. Then depending on the number of keys, try all the possible combinations (yes, I've been watching McGyver lately! ;D)

Dont forget anything you took.

Dammit. When you got the ID card, you should've just gone back to the payphone, phoned the car company and given Mr. Jones' ID number. Then you probably would've had sufficient clearance to get some answers!

Take your shirt off, and grab the Lionel Richie CD (if you don't have it, crawl back and get it). Cover your hands with the shirt and use the CD to crash the eggs (just in case there's acid or something in there). If by any chance the CD is NOT destroyed in the process scratch it further to make sure nobody will be able to play it! ;D

Then carry on down the vent...

Pull the gun to the ready. Make sure the safety is off and that the thing is loaded! Break down the door and swing the gun around at random while shouting, "NYPD! FREEZE!" If anyone (or anything) gives you a questioning glare, flash the stolen ID badge.

> Inventory

You are carrying an empty wallet, a mobile phone (blocked), a chewed piece of gum, a car key, a level 9 id card, two dismembered hands, an unlit torch, a jacket, a stapler, pens, a note, blu-tac, and an empty handgun

Set the alarm on the mobile phone to 1 minute from now, stuff the mobile phone inside the second dismembered hand (presumably the fresher, more squishy one) and throw it across the room. Might as well stick the gum in there too - hopefully this 'thing' will choke and die on it.

While the thing is busy munching on the musical hand, leg it!!

Throw the gun* through the room for confusion purposes, then stand up and

a) if the door isn't blocked, go through it.
b) else: if the duct/shaft is low enough, climb up to the other side from where you came from
c) else: if it would suffice slam the computer monitor on the ground, stand on it and try again
d) else: throw the monitor at the monster

Use the pen hats (or are they called caps?) as bullets

Don’t lose the phone you might need it later!

Cap it is then  ;)

Ooh, ooh, I know. You have to trip the guy next to you so you can run away. That's a friggin' velociraptor man!

Oh wait. There's no one next to you. In that case, if stabbing or shooting it with the pen failed for any reason, crawl underneath the far side of the desk. Use corpse with velociraptor. Run like hell.

@BlueAngel: I can't speak for certain about other Engrish-speaking countries, but in Amerikaa it is indeed a "pen cap". :)

Edit: I just realized that there seems to be a lot of contradictory commands being given about how to deal with the velociraptor, so I concede to everyone who posted before me where necessary. :-\ I think we may need to see what comes of the current commands before we can usefully supply anything further. As it is we're just fighting each other at this point, and let me tell you, as a man with some experience in the matter, when there's a velociraptor standing 5 feet away from you, that is not the time for arguing. :=

Read/examine the clipboard looking item that is on the floor.
Look in the vent for more cool eggs, or whatever/whoever else may be in there. Or even for a possible exit.
Inspect the sparking electrical unit, it may be the reason for the power going out - see if you can fix it / turn it off.

If the vent proves to be a possible exit: if the door locks, lock it. Otherwise block the door with a hunk of meat. And exit through the vent after confronting the man and taking anything he's willing to give you. Including his dirty underwear if he's willing to part with it.

Yeah I agree with taking him to the room with the creature and leading him in first. But, I know very well that he won't enter first.. so perhaps you can trick him into unloading his clip into the beast so that you're both equipped with an empty hand gun. Or he simply just dies. :)

The door to that room must open toward the inside of the room, otherwise the creature wouldn't have been clever enough to open the door the opposite way (especially if it's dumb enough to chase beeping hands). So open the door for this man, knock out your torch so it's dark, and dart down the hallway to a random room (hopefully back to this room). He won't see you running down the dark hallway because he's facing an evil creature and won't really care about you anymore.

Looks like someone short-circuited the socket with a paperclip, guess that caused the outage. Designing an entire complex with one circuit seems dumb, but then again, so does letting a velociraptor roam the halls freely. You pocket the straightened paperclip.

I'm all for the helipad. We have not much inventory to fight a horde of dinosaurs (and we seem to agree that the probability for dinosaurs is higher at a location called farm than at a location called helipad), but we have at least our wit to get done with a bunch of maybe-bad guys in a helicopter. We can always pretend that we have some information they need so they don't shoot us, and they might even be friendly with us if we explain everything (except that we fed that one guy to a beast, better declare that as an unfortunate accident), or maybe they take us as a prisoner, still better than getting eaten by a dino.

To me helipad sounds like something we should check out. It's probably a small place that we can use for escaping later, while at the farm, the story will just go on, and we'll soon forget about this place, just like with all the doors int he hallway. So I vote for helipad
Title: Re: 'Stranded'
Post by: Tabata on Mon 25/07/2011 18:03:29
Heliport seems to be our exit at least, but it is never the usual and simple way in such games  ;D and if it is a farm, it must be the eggs (harmless, but with computers/informations around) or the raptors themself (like in Jurassic Park running around free), but on the way to the more dangerous' parts of the farm there might be some useful items for us to find (normally meant for the staff to stay save) which we may need at the heliport.

So therefor I would prefer to examine the farm first (but carefully! ;)).

I was actually all for the helipad, but I've just remembered something. When we first entered the cottage there was a huge eye glaring in the window. Probably the T-Rex. Being up on the helipad would probably make us more susceptible to being eaten by the T-Rex. That sounds not good.

Then again, the "farm" is absolutely the breeding ground for the wild velociraptors, so going there is no good.

So what we all need to keep in mind is that we must never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

Alright, so where are we most likely to find Sicilians? Helipad or Farm?

You are right, I had already forgotten about the other door. So there is a third option: going back and see what is behind that door.
Also if the dinosaur is left in the first room shouldn’t we find something to block that door to prevent it from escaping and attacking us from behind?

Pick an inventory item at random and toss it at the creature. If it reacts, rush forward to grab the walkie talkie, blind in your belief that the reaction is indeed a frigtened flight and not a mere flinch. Immediately after grabbing walkie talkie, turn back, run down the stairs.

Let's have a little chat with the phone-pastoral (they are used to talk to characters with silly ideas) ;D

... then use the walkie talkie to call for someone else who might still be in the building or in reachable distance.

Before going back down the stairs, make sure to try using the walkie-talkie to see if someone is on the other end. If it doesn't work, check the batteries. If there are batteries, make sure you check the polarity before deciding they are dead (you never know ;)). AND KEEP THE BATTERIES JUST IN CASE - THEY COULD COME IN HANDY LATER!

PEE ESS
To quote Dualnames; BEST THREAD EVAAAAARRREEEERRRREREREREEERRRE!!!!1!111!!!11!!

This reminds me of something similar my friend and I used to do back in school. He and I would draw a scene that we would already know the solution to. We would have to figure out what to do. We would also have the option to "call" the hint line when needed (only 3 times). One scene that comes to mind is a kid on a bike being stopped by two bullies. Very fun.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH Veryweirdguy! I hope to see more of these in the future.

Of course, PANTS!, the only known substance capable of successfully deterring pterodactyls from two-way radio receivers! :=

OKAY, in addition to what Dave and Snake said, if the batteries are dead and for some reason just-so-happen to be, say AA batteries instead of a real radio battery, try rubbing them together. It's partially effective, er, sometimes.

Oh, and now that the pterodactyl's gone, it might be worth a look over the edge that it was guarding, just to make sure we're not missing anything.

It was a funny story actually: it was absolutely POURING down with rain, and my wife called me up and said "Turok," (that's what she calls me,) "You'd better come home, it's too stormy out there! Little Jessica is gonna be worried!" and I said "I'm out with my boss." and she said "Oh, well, as Jessica's godfather I guess he knows what's best." Now, of course, he got a hole in one, like I said, and got a trophy for it. Three trophies in fact. And my wife never doubted me again (until she divorced me of course.) I guess you had to be there.

It's not like there was one set solution for everything. I had the idea for the setting, and what that was, but the path was entirely up to you guys. As a result, there are, theoretically, infinite possible solutions to any problem, and I didn't want to lead people down a path telling them my pre-written story.

As an example: I had no idea you guys were going to make a bone torch (how could I?), but once it happened I tried to implement a use for it. That's you guys making and exploring the story and me adapting to it, rather than you trying to figure out what I've come up with.

Other responses may have not gotten you shot, but it seemed that that was an appropriate response to the 'command' that was given.

Anyway, I promised myself I wouldn't talk about it too much, so I'll shush.

Wow, this brings me back! When I used to play D&D as a teen, this was pretty much how we did it - except without the pictures. We rarely bothered with dice and hit points and all that: the dungeon master made up some sticky situation, we tried to talk our way out of it, and the DM decided whether to let us off the hook or (more usually) not. And a good time was had by all.

Great DMing, VWG!
