Umberto (GoldenCityBird): >Try to take out the guy again.
You rolled a :5+1=6.
Wonderful. You regain control over your body, wind up a little bit (something you can afford, with this guy's back turned to you), and unleash a powerful punch right in the back of his head.\\ The guy is dazed and won't do much this turn (won't attack anyone).


Zeema (JTTWlover): >Bash the guy with the novel.
You rolled a: 4.
Taking the opportunity to strike, after Umberto attacked the guy from behind, you take your heavy weapon, and slam it straight into the guy's face. And your hit definitely connects. All it lacks is a satisfying crunch.


Brian (Afterwards) : > Hit the guy in white with a surprise force-push.
You rolled a: 6
Ok, this time, it was wonderful. You slam your palm right in the guy's torso, and he flies back quite some distance before slamming into another car on a parking lot. (nothing special, just an Opel Corsa C). The car rocks to the side quite a bit, and its side is kinda messed up from that impact (the cars totally totaled, can't be worth too much.) More importanty, the impact causes the guy to accidentally, drop his taser thing which, in an unlikely turn of events, discharges, and fires right at your foot.

ROLL TO DODGE THE TASER!
You rolled a: 2.
Oh. Yeah, it got you. You fall down, lose 6 HP, and are tased. (-1 to action/dodges in next turn. Oof.)


Austin (unfortunatezoroa) : > Pick the lock leading to the stairwell.
You rolled a: 4.
Yup. This lock was more difficult than the one locking your room. For one, it actually had to be picked the traditional way and not just raked. However, you still made short work of it, and the door is open. Perfect.


Dylan (johannes4123) : > Shoot the guy again, aim for the center of mass.
You rolled a : 5.
The bullet went straight through the torso, and then I guess it went through the Corsa's fuel line or something, as the car ignited and started burning down along with the guy. As you all can see, the white uniform, and the guy's skin start melting off to reveal he was another of the snake men. Fire was always useful against vermin.


Alivia (AutisticAlivia) : > Throw him in a river.
You rolled a : Impossible action.
...
OK, allow me to make a thing clear. I do not want any of you to simply make things up. In 76 posts before yours, there was not a single mention of a river. And that means your character does not know of any nearby river to throw the guy into. Please, please, please work within the parameters of the scenario we're playing in. Thanks.


Hefin (TenOfSwords13) : > Look out of the door.
You rolled a: 2.
You see a stairwell. There are stairs in it.

Umberto (GoldenCityBird) : >Try to figure out where we are.
You rolled a: 1
You've decided to look for any signs in a local language. And you found one, and it's frustrating. It's on the tip of your tongue, and yet it doesn't come out. You certainly know what language this is, but just forgot... temporarily. You're distracted by trying to think of what language this is, and are at -1 to mental actions for the next two turns.


Brian (Afterwards) : >Stand up.
That's a free action. The (literal) shock wears off, though your leg is still a little tingly, and you get up on your feet. Your attempts at bonding are sadly failing, unless you're willing to separate the players' playstyle from how their characters are behaving.


Austin (unfortunatezorua) : > Head down the stairs.
Dylan (johannes4123) : > Go down the stairs.
Hefin (TenOfSwords13) : > As I descend the stairs...
That's a free action. You make your way down the stairwell, and find yourself in what undoubtedly is a reception area. It's deserted however, and whatever place this was was out of business for quite some time, with the windows covered, and quite some dust on the reception desk. But, hey, the bell still works.


Zeema (JTTWlover) You rolled a: 6
You find a park almost immediately, just gotta walk past a building and you're there. So, so, so much greenery. And it wasn't maintained all that well, which does impact aesthetics a bit, but all the overgrowth will make your plant powers more powerful.
You get your way blocked by two wide, bald dudes in dark tracksuits. They are also wearing some red and blue scarves They are saying something to you in a language you don't quite understand. They grow angrier and angrier. One of them pulls out a machete. This might not end so well.


Hefin (TenOfSwords13) : > ...try to recall any recent stories about snake attacks.
You rolled a: 4
Ah, yes, yes. Memories of before. You've recalled recent news stories. You can tell, with absolute certainty that no, there was not an unusual surge in snake attacks.

Brian (Afterwards): > Try to read the sign.
You rolled a: 3
About that. The sign is almost unreadable. It's latin letters, but they should not go together like this. What you do know, is it's in Polish.


Jack Hummer (TalesofUnder) :> Have a general look around.
You rolled a: 2
Unfortunately, something distracts you from having a look around. There is a loud clattering sound coming from the shady motel thing. Considering it's shut down and there should be no one inside...


Austin (unfortunatezorua) : > Look for the exit.
You rolled a: 1
Before you decided to look for the exit, you got distracted by the bell. You come close to poke at it, when you hear creaking and snapping sounds. Something's bad coming and you know it.

ROLL TO DODGE SOMETHING BAD!
You rolled a: 4
You leap back, and suddenly, the floor underneath the reception desk gives way, creating a nice little hole leading straight down to the basement. The bell is now down there too. :( On a more happy note, you have not fallen in and are totally fine!.


Zeema (JTTWlover) : >Try to trap the guys with vines.
You rolled a: 4
The dude starts charging at you with a machete, but he's stopped by your control over the vines that start enveloping his body, and pulling him onto a hedge. His pal shouts something, presumably a Foreign Cuss Word or something to that effect, turns around, and runs away.


Umberto (GoldenCityBird) : > Look for anyone else.
You rolled a: 5
Well, for one, there's this dude in an *antique* car. Like, a real old piece of automotive history. Like, a Model T. You see Zeema in the distance, in a park some distance away from you. Seems to be fighting someone. There's also a guy, just sitting in his car, taking notes. Your criminal expertise tells you he's planning to break into a house next to the parking lot.


Hefin (TenOfSwords13) : > Try to uncover the windows.
You rolled a: 3
Oh, they are covered from the inside alright. Mostly with old newspapers, cardboard, and copious amount of tape. It's annoying, it does not want to peel off in one move, it keeps tearing up. However, you have made a small hole in the covering. You can't see much out of it, but you do see a street.


To make Hefin's transformation come into play anytime soon, let's say that morning we started the game in has passed some time ago, and that it's early-to-mid afternoon now.
