MSPaint Dwarf Quest 4000!

Post by DoomulusPrime » Fri Jan 22, 2010 6:40 am

Hey Brennor's I'm feeling squirrely so I'm gonna see how this flies. Here's how the game goes: I set the scenario. Anyone can post what the main character does. I pick a response and decide what happens next. Simple enough, right?
It is the year 4000.

You are a dwarf. In SPACE.

You are BORGRUND KRUNKFIST, an advance scout from the ROIDBLASTER, a dwarven Battlenought out to explore new worlds, seek out and find new civilizations, and mine the living snot out of them.

You and your hand-picked crack team of three specialists prepared to touch down on the planet BURNINIUS V when a stray space-rock hit your landing craft, forcing an evacuation. You step out of your escape pod and take stock of your surroundings:

It doesn't take long to notice that you are on a LAVA PLANET. Better not take that helmet off!

You check your suit's systems:

Your explorer suit's BIO ELECTRIC ASSESMENT READER DEVICE (B.E.A.R.D.) flickers to life... good thing that's still working. This will let you know when you're low on vital supplies, and monitors your health to boot!

Next you check your inventory...

Uh oh, looks like your CEREBRAL REACTIVE ACCESS MONITOR (C.R.A.M.) malfunctioned, spitting the equipment you had on you out of HYPER-WARP containment and on to the planet surface! With a little tinkering, you get it on line, but it looks like it's only going to hold a few things until an expert gets a look at it.

No more mucking around then, time to get to work! You might think about finding your team. The wreckage didn't spread far across the planet surface, Grudd willing...

The more plusses after a skill, the better a dwarf is at it. BORGRUND has four skills: VIOLENCE (killing/beating/shooting), SCAN (using scanning equipment), TALK (talking, dur), and BOSS (getting things to do what you tell them to)

Or... you could just stand around like a Rocknob and examine your coolant valve.

Borgrund decides to try and salvage anything he can from the crash site and then move out to attempt to find the missing engineer in order to get hir C.R.A.M. fixed...
Here, you hold this jar of acid and the rattlesnake. I've got to hop on the unicycle and get this chainsaw revved up.

Whoawhoawhoa, one thing at a time! But salvaging is like looting, so that sounds like a good idea...
Pretty much everything from BORGRUND's pod is wrecked, but there's some stuff salvageable. Instead of bothering to examine everything in detail, he just gathers them up and stuffs them in his C.R.A.M.

You're familiar with these little numbers, the gravitics-powered pickaxe of your average SPACE DWARF. Hold the beam on something and it will turn into neat little piles of its component elements. Works on organics, too, but not as well as on rocks and metal. It's powered by, uh, POWER from your space suit.

What luck! Your trusty Laser Axe! Perfect for sawing through space goblins, space ogres, and space bread. It runs on POWER from your suit.

Huh. A standard-issue military Gruddcorder. These are pretty good for SCANNING things, I guess?

Nice! A canister of compressed 02. This is good because you like breathing. Easy to use too, just put in the right code and its contents will teleport from your C.R.A.M. to your air tanks.

You don't remember ordering biscuits, but they're kinda tasty. Too bad your face will burn off if you even think about removing your space suit.
Well that was fun! Your C.R.A.M. is full now, by the way. As for finding your teammates, there's the small problem that you lost them on a VERY LARGE PLANET. Walking around like a Nordrubian Walking Turd in any random direction won't get you anywhere!

Maybe if you looked around at your surroundings, you might find some clues as to where to investigate...
What do?

Indeed, Gruddcorder. Indeed.

...wait, what's THAT?!

It looks like one of the planet's indigenous life forms snuck up on you while you were fiddling with your Gruddcorder. It looks you over and makes wierd burbling noises in your direction...

"KILL"

Borgrund draws his Laser Axe, "KILL KILL KILL!" Swing-chop-attack the green worm thingy! Spit and grabself like a Professional Dwarfball Player afterwards. "I AM BORGRUND! I AM GOOD AT FIGHTING!"

The green whatever has been splattered all over the crash site! BORGRUND performs the standard dwarven victory gesture, then hocks a loogey in his helmet. You now have a glob of mucus attached to your visor. Go you.

Flush from his victory, BORGRUND...

Borgrund looks around for any signs of other crashes...

BORGRUND, what do your dwarven eyes see?!
Image
Huh, that doesn't look Dwarven. Still, the promise of salvage and treasure from a derelict starship is like a roach motel for greedy beardy things. Might be worth a look.

...but why hurry! Plenty of time to do things here, now that it's completely, fabulously safe!
