>Go back, find tokochiro and help him with his back
no point in letting him die i guess

This probably isn't much insight, but I'm going to write a poem about you guys' current situation. Every part except for the first four lines can be sung to the theme of Jingle Bells.

Everyone is running from the Greater Demon guy.
Tokochiro's clawed, and soon he's gonna die!
Adam's helping 'cause he knows that dying isn't fun.
But he may not save his friend if they both roll a one!

Chorus v. 1
Oh, roll the dice, roll the dice,
Roll them, hope they're high.
It isn't really up do you
If you live or die! Yeah!

Roll the dice, roll the dice,
RtD's so fun.
I get to narrate you guys
Killing everyone!

Nonsequitorian
His name takes up a line.
It makes me really mad.
I need more space and time!

Right now he's reloading.
His trusty powder gun.
And soon he's gonna shoot somethin'
Or maybe stop and run!

(Back to chorus v. 1)

HighEndNoob just switched
His two weapons again.
When will he decide
Which one will likely win?

Hyperkultra likes
To stay away from fights.
He's fleeing from them at this time
I think he's kinda right.

Chorus v. 2
Yeah, you should run, you should run,
Get your butts away.
That demon guy is angry
And he's really hungry, hey!

So, run away, run away,
Get your rears in gear.
Unless of course you're staying there
Because you have no fear!

Ociamarru's name
Is very lengthy too.
He went to grab his sword
So he could fight with you.

But he is seeing what
The gang is up against.
And now he's having second thoughts
Before battle's commenced!

Chorus v. 3
Oh, make your choice, make it quick
Hide or fight or flee.
I am wrapping up this poem
It's getting too lengthy, oh

Now I'm done, now I'm done.
That was quite a task.
Now everybody post your moves.
Is that too much to ask?

Well, tell me how you liked it.

Thats actually quite good. No one else has done a poem for a RtD on this forum before.

I liked the part where you told us we should run away >:C

We only need non to roll

About that... is Hyper's post really an action? I thought that was a recommendation to everyone, but okay. I guess it makes sense that he's doing that.

Edit - Yeah, he bolded it now.

BEST POEM EVER!!! THE ONLY ONE THAT DIDN'T MAKE ME FALL ASLEEP!

Heh. Glad you liked it.

Now if only Nonsequitorian could post his move...

By the way, I'm getting kind of annoyed at having to type out Non-Seq-ui-tor-i-an every time I want to say his name.

Can someone come up with a nickname?

Non

Sequi?

Tori? (Lol)

Hey, before I post the rounds, Non, are you SURE you want to stay and fight? You do realize everyone else is running away. If you fight alone, I can't say you have much chance.

Aight! Now I can post the round!

FLEE.

You flee so fast that you're already outside the city.

...

It sure is desolate. Where is everyone? Then you get a sense of how far you just ran. Woah. You're so woozy that you don't even notice HEN standing right next to you. He seems to be saying something. You try to respond, but all you can say is,

"FLEE."

Tokochiro (2)

"AGH ♥♥♥♥ MY BACK IT HURTS!!"
You start running, looking desperately for someone to help you with you back, but there doesn't seem to be anyone around. Your head is starting to get foggy.... You've lost a lot of blood.... You see someone running towards you, then you black out.

Ociamarru (6)

"Alright, demon! Prepare to taste my bla-oh, Colber be damned!"
You quickly turn and run, seeing a twenty-five foot tall demon staring you in the face. You flee so desperately that you're tripping over yourself.
"Agh... I'll be back for you, Demon!"

HEN (1)

"Ummm.... I didn't know I had speed hacks."
You try looking for the rest of the mob, but there's no way you'll find them. You're already outside the city. Next to you is a rather blank-faced Hyperkultra.
"Hey, Hyper. Do you know where everybody went?"
He turns to you slowly.

"FLEE."

You back up a few steps. What happened to him?

Adam (5)

You run back through the crowd, knowing that Tokochiro is in trouble. When you finally get sight of him, he is collapsing by the roadside. He's bleeding like crazy. You grab the bandages he has in his pocket, and pull one out. You quickly wrap it tightly around his entire upper body, hopefully staunching the blood flow. You think he'll be all right, but he's unconscious. You'll have to carry him out of the city.

Nonsequitorian (2 + 1 = 3)

You lift up the barrel of your gun and aim it at the Greater Demon's head. You fire, (3 v. 2) but it moves at the last second, and the shot only grazes it. That's not enough to wound it, but enough to make it very angry. It turns your way. You turn tail and get out of there, running down the steps of the tower and out. The demon lifts a foot and smashes it down (3 v. 6) but you leap forward, avoiding it just in time. You spy Adam mending Tokochiro as you run. Hopefully you've provided a distraction for them. You run off, after the mob that has formed some distance away.
