Also, ragdoll can we have armor?

wiffles; Yes, you may :>

I'm waiting for caekdaemon's action and then I'll roll. Immediately after the roll will be a game event and we'll be on the ground then, ready to set off into the unknowns.

Oh and, Prepare equipment for landing!

Should we write ourselves backstories?

Backstories aren't really required but they do give your characters more depth etc., so feel free to make one.

I'm on the waiting list on the other RTD but that list is looking pretty long so can u put me on this one and see if i get in this one first???

Added Techno to the waiting list :V

MY FIRST DICE ROLL FUDGE YES.

Alright, so:

dragonxp (5+1 = 6) - Advere is able to masterfully pickpocket BJJ's sandwich without anyone noticing. A sudden pocket of turbulence makes him fall forward without warning, however, and he finds himself prone on the floor with the entire helicopter crew staring at him (with the pilot the sole exception), including a rather angry BJJ.

Ben (4) - Eric takes a look out the window at the helicopter base and the surrounding forest. Although there isn't anything too distinguishing about the area, he's able to memorize three large trees on the left side of the base's clearing, easily identifiable even in low light thanks to his botany skills.

Hyperkultra (1+3 = 4) - Fiona takes a peek at the microfusion reactor, and good thing, too, because it seems to have been dangerously close to overheating and blowing up from a circuit break! Anyone less skilled in using the railgun or circuitry might have had to throw the pack out the window to save themselves, but she's able to quickly put things back the way they should be. She looks out onto the landscape with a bored, apathetic look on her face, not even fazed by her potential brush with death.

Ociamarru (1) - Mathis looks about for something to eat and notices a small, open jar on the floor, full of what looks like grapes. He's starved and so he picks up the whole tin and tips it into his mouth, taking a big bite. Mathis feels a surge of pain as his teeth clamp down metal- he just tried chewing lugs and bolts! He spits it all out in pain.

caekdaemon (1+1 = 2) - Bob Jameson Jones reaches down into a toolbox to check what equipment there is inside. He can't really see, but from his years as a mechanic, he knows to go slow- but he still ends up feeling a sharp pain in his left hand; pulling it out quickly, Bob discovers a little pinprick of blood on the end. Stabbed on a nail! A sudden crash redirects his attention and he sees Advere sprawled out on the floor in front of him, holding a slightly crushed sandwich. Is that... IT'S BOB'S SANDWICH!

Weehaw! You rolled! So, are there any events yet? Like, have we landed or anything? Just wondering, before I decide my next course of action.

Oh right, sorry! I forgot to update the game event ><


The helicopter squadron arrives at the base and begins slowly descending down to land. Bob snatches his stolen sandwich back from the dazed Advere and steps off in tandem with everyone else. A large, stout man walks out onto the landing pads, graying hair blown back by the rotorwash. "That must be the Colonel responsible for dragging us out here," grumbled a grumpy soldier who was rubbing the base of his spine.


We are at a helicopter base on the outskirts of the Amazon jungle/rainforest. Within two rolls we'll be leaving. Feel free to make small talk with your characters before declaring your actions, if you think the pace is kind of fast.

O_o
Thank god for lucky modifiers.

> "Okay, someone get me the person in charge around here. We're here to find a tree, that's all they told us. I expect to know more if I'm going to be triapseing around in a jungle filled with things that can and will eat me."

Can I be put on the waiting list?

Here's my character.

iahwilgh3qa89itfnrazmc: To make things less confusing, make conversations within game bold, but don't underline them. Actions remain bold+underline

"Something tells me neither of you two have been in the Amazon... and you probably don't know how valuable this tree is. Then again, I really don't either, but they wouldn't haul out this much firepower without good reason."
