    Default The "Rolled a 1" Game III - I Don't Want to Set This Thread on Fire

    As before, from the original thread:

    “There will be a posted skill check for a specific action each player will be taking, and the poster below you has to post a result from rolling a 1, or crit-failing, that took effect from their skill check. After that, the poster then posts a new skill check scenario.

    For example, lets say the poster above you said that there is a skill check they are making to push an orc off a bridge. The poster below them would say that they rolled a 1, and instead they lightly caressed his back.”

    ---------------------------------------------

    +5 Vorpal Bunny successfully creates a new thread. However, he accidentally sets it on fire.

    I roll to put out the fire!

    I roll a spot check to find an icepack in the freezer.
    You aren’t even looking in your freezer, so you actually pull a live badger out of its burrow and put it right up to your face. It starts clawing and biting you.

    I roll to remove the badger.

    Your impact ignites me and we both go up in flames! Yuuum, cannibal's barbeque!

    You wake up the Abominable Snowman and he eats you.

    You mix up your +1 Sword of Stabbing with your +1 Quill of Witty Insults. You end up hurting the Abominable Snowman's feelings instead of his vitals, and he retaliates by eating you as well.

    I roll to cut the Snowman open with my trusty dagger and save these two.
    I can see it from the outside.

    In your pocket, you had a candy cane instead of a dagger. It's not very effective in melee, even if you sharpen it with your tongue.

    I roll to build a candy factory.

    You somehow create an anti-candy army which seeks out all confectionary creations and destroys them in a volcano.

    I roll to save as many sweets as possible.

    You end up with a prosperous vegetable garden instead.

    You attract a cult dedicated to the Flying Spaghetti Monster who wants to use your spaghetti tree to awaken the Old Ones.

    I roll to stop their eldritch ritual.

    You somehow end up as the cult's high priest, and the ensuing ritual awakens a Great Old One with you as the host body.

    I roll to escape the cosmic horror that has possessed +5 Vorpal Bunny.

    Technically, you succeed- you run into a completely different mouth, thus getting eaten in a different way. Still devoured, though.

    I roll to join the previous two in getting eaten by the eldritch horror.

    The eldritch horror tosses you out of the pit of live animal offerings and eats the other animals whole. It won't oblige your suicidal desires.

    I roll a will save to keep my sanity intact through this Lovecraftian episode.

    All of your perceived reality collapses into a single point, an immutable, undeniable truth that you can't help but live out for the rest of your crazed days - the inescapable axiom that there's nothing yummier than a peanut butter and toenail sandwich.

    I roll Astrogation to chart a hyperspace course for my X-Wing that takes us away from this madness

    Due to a sudden tachyon surge in the warp nacelles, the phase inducers completely depolarize and cause a subspace inversion within the warp field, which collapses and causes a chain reaction in the plasma conduits leading to a warp core breach.

    I roll to beam the crew off the starship before it explodes.

    You beam the entire crew directly into the center of a large asteroid hurtling through deep space. I'm not sure if they freeze, suffocate, or get shredded at a molecular level, but I do know it isn't pretty.

    I roll to go back in time and use my sonic screwdriver to lower the ambient tachyon levels of the warp nacelles, reversing the polarity and fixing this whole mess before it could even happen.

    You fail at the first step and time travel to the future instead, during that time your space coordinates got mixed up and you appear in deep space.

    I appear in a DeLorean and bring us back to the past. Judging by those giant feathered reptiles though, I may have sent us a bit far back...
    And what is that meteor doing over there?

    I roll to adjust the time travel coordinates to just before this whole Lovecraftian craziness went down.

    It explodes while you're taking your lunch break. It's not even a spectacular explosion...just more of a piff. But it leaves you with a metal pipe you can bang things with.

    You scream incoherently at the bauble vendor for a while, before throwing all your money at them and running away. Without the bauble.
