Terminal Testament (forum game)

((By the way, let me know whenever one of you is done posting for the night. I have no intent on exploiting a win for the Cursed when you all sign off for the night, but so long as one of you hasn't said so, I'll assume you might be around to keep the chase going! Also, if one of you happens to post the wrong number while tripping over each other or the like, don't worry - it's just a means to help keep track, and it's ultimately decided by the posts, not the numbers people post.))

Scrambling. Pouring forward. The Cursed cometh.

The Cursed advance to 8​.

((As an arbitrary means of randomness, I'm rolling a 4-sided dice to determine the next time increment I'll be posting, with 1 equaling 10 minutes to 4 equaling 40 minutes. I rolled a 2, so I'll post again in approx. 20 minutes and continue as such, unless I feel like taking a break. If I think you guys start blazing through, I might make a new arbitrary method to pick up the pace even more. This is, as usual, not something any other random player who might be playing on the Cursed side is bound to do - they just can't post twice or more in a row.))

Amy tries to give Lucky a nod in return but it a little bit too bumpy to do so gracefully. "Thanks!"

Kyle was unprepared for that maneuver and nearly falls out of the back, but manages to grab hold of the crossbar in time.

"Hang on," Lucky says belatedly as he speeds down this new road, desperately trying to put the horrid yells of the Cursed behind them.

Lucky tosses a glance behind them. "They've reached the jeep pool," he says tersely. "Hope they can't drive." He floors the pedal.

"Keep going, dude....I'll stay with ya!" Meanwhile Kyle lashes some cloth around him and the crossbar as a makeshift belt. He knows this won't really do anything, but it comforts him none the less.

Lucky nods. His bottom lip is tucked between his teeth as he concentrates on driving amidst ancient wreckage.

"Hey, gotta make it interesting," Lucky tosses back. "Would you rather I dream up a fantasy world with no Beast and all beautiful women to serve me?" A split second. "Actually, I think I'll do that ne--" His last word is cut off as a bump in the road knocks him up into the air briefly before slamming him hard on his buttock.

"Yeah, we got this"

Kyle charges (2)
2012-12-10, 5:14 PM #240
((I'm going to go ahead and make an assumption on your intended flavor, Garlon. Congrats on your teamwork!))

As Lucky, Kyle, and Amy enter the tunnel, Lucky and Amy conjure up some last speed for their jeep while Kyle hurls his charge at the entrance to the tunnel. The Cursed that had been chasing them are no longer able to pursue. Darkness begins to set as the survivors make the rest of their way to Pandora without incident.

((Tomorrow, I will post about the Merchant who will greet you just outside of Pandora, where you will be given the day to deal with him. Then, on Wednesday, it'll be back to the standard action! As always, please raise any questions, concerns, feedback, etc. you may wish to bring up, and I will do my best to address it.))
