UPDATE 14
Ok, guess we will not take the tour after all:
QUOTE (139) |
You tell him that you have no interest in his laboratory and would just as soon be on your way. "Ah, very well, greener pastures and more pressing issues for our lamb, yes, to be sure. Perhaps another time, yes," he says. You nod your head and turn to leave. There is a sharp whistling sound and something thuds into your shoulder. You look down in surprise to find a dart sticking in your skin. You angrily pull it out and turn to face the man, who is now laughing hysterically and running around the table. He suddenly stops, puts a dart-blower to his lips, and sends another dart whistling your way. You duck and it flies over your head. Go to 93. |
QUOTE (93) |
Anger turns to fear as your limbs start to grow heavy. You stumble out of the laboratory and manage to get a few meters up the tunnel before the anesthetic takes full effect and you crumble to the ground in complete paralysis. The man calmly walks up to you and proceeds to drag you back. “Oof, a heavy one here. Yes. ‘Study hard and learn a trade, Petruccio’ my mother always told me”. The man labors to lift you onto the table. “Learn a trade? Much better to go into business for myself, mama”. He unbuttons your shirt. “Be my own boss. Yes. Well, except for the master.” He pulls out a scalpel. “Now make sure you don’t move, O.K.? Hahaha. I always kill myself with that one”… |
.... hey you got to admit that was kind of funny...
Anyway we just used ourselves our last LIFE. We roll a dice and we get
5. -5 STAMINA points for us, but we manage to go back a step and our only option is to... take the tour!

The man claps his hands in glee and leads you around the laboratory. He tells you that his name is Petruccio and that he has been Count Pravemi’s personal chemist for several years. You ask him why someone of his calling is needed and he laughs. “Ah, yes, such a joker. The master no doubt appreciates your humor. The bodies, of course, must remain clean and well preserved. Sometimes we go months before getting a new one. But you will learn the details when you are initiated. Yes.” He strides over to the table. “Tell me if your dressers are this skilled back home.” He unzips the bag to reveal a humanoid shape…yes, it’s a man, or was, but it appears to have had its skin and hair removed! You gasp and jump back in shock. Add 1 Fear point. “My friend,” he laughs incredulously, “surely this isn’t new to you? Especially if you have been promoted to the esteemed Pravemi’s order?” His eyes narrow suspiciously. You’d better think fast. Will you apologize and tell him that you were simply taken aback by his great skill (9) or that this type of preservation isn’t customary where you come from (53)? |
Hmm, preservation of bodies? Skin and hair removed? Definitely +1 FEAR point. What should we say now?
