The Gaming Outpost

“I certainly am. Robot, wait here for my signal, and alert me if anyone enters.

“After you,” and I waste a gesture.

As we are walking, “I said I had some unusual abilities; I understand something […]

I will permit you to continue listening to his thoughts based on the previous success since you mention.

His thoughts very closely match his words for the initial paragraph.

The ‘precious cargo’ seems to […]

I pause for a moment, making a “hmm” sound to signal that I am considering this. It strikes me first that this is not much information, and second that it may be that I have no reason to expect details.

“My […]

“Unless you’ve managed to bottle youth, I doubt you could help me, and even if you have, I can’t say I’d want it.” He waves his hand dismissively. “I am glad to hear you ask nonetheless. Too many young […]

I walk over to him.

”You speak English well; I’m afraid my Portuguese is nearly non-existent. How may I help you, sir?”

(Rolls 2d10. 23 will be a nominal success for you. Rolls 3d10.)

He is thinking that you seem to be an interesting person, different from most of the customers who come into his shop, and that he wouldn’t […]

I will turn to face him and attempt to read his mind, 1@4 Read Minds P1@1 BRA 2@7 Bias 6@1.

I see no immediate reason why that wouldn’t work; your robot responds.

(Rolls 2d20) You gather your things together as quickly as possible; several fumbles of the fingers (as all too often happen when a person […]

“Robot, stand.”

Assuming that works, I’ll pack the remainder of my things as quickly as I can. My intention is for the robot and I to walk out the front door once I’m packed–which shouldn’t take too […]

The numerals are recognizable, as are the letters; however, the language is foreign.

A bell chimes lightly as you enter the shop; your nostrils are assaulted instantly by the musty odors of antiques: mothballs […]

I relax, and pray, and focus my thoughts, and attempt to make telepathic contact again…

OOC: Oak@MJ has a skill that MJ describes as follows:

”They could have eaten me when I was passed out and they found me. Instead they cared for me.”, I tell him.

I go with them.

Oh–I think I will not accept it. Although it might be useful, it might be dangerous to be caught carrying it. I politely decline and say I might take a rain check, if that’s all right, but until I’m oriented […]

The shop is open.

I didn’t catch whether or not you accepted the ”free gift” from the first man.

77 isn’t in there for telepathy, but I am adding a point to Read Minds and Clairvoyance for the degree you’ve used them over time, bringing them each to 1@2.

I should ask and not presume whether you drink that.

“I’m sure they were kind to you; would you be here waiting to be eaten if they weren’t?”

You’re escorted outside by one man who has shouldered his weapon. He tells you, “The car’s over here,” and […]

My robot was with the equipment at the Duke Farm, so it must be in there; the tech bias here is certainly high enough to support its simple operation. I’m thinking about what to do.

Is the shop open? Does it […]
