THE THING - GAME TWO is FINISHED

[AA7Dragoon]

I think THE THING ate DoW..

[Lavarinth]

I take back my statement of "wait until The Thing game is over for Mafia game."

[DrumsofWar]

Sorry, I've been doing a 50 hour work week but it'll be up tonight.

[SaintKerrigan]

Sorry, I've been doing a 50 hour work week but it'll be up tonight.

Yeah, I guess God has a lot of work to do managing the lives of pitiful mortals.  Too bad, though.

[DrumsofWar]

With danger looming, the occupants of the science station go to work.

Lavarinth roots around for a flashlight and finds one quite easily.  (Roll of 11 vs. DC of 2)

Flyinghat, being a copycat pilot, also looks for flashlight but manages to almost drop it out of his hands before managing to catch it in time, then fumbles it again and drops it into several pieces.  (Roll of 3 - 1 Paranoia = 2 vs. DC of 2)

Thalraxal searches Lavarinth for traces of being the Thing, but his test is inconclusive when Lavarinth is able to wriggle too much during the proctological section of the exam.  (Roll of 7 vs. Roll of 5)

Milldawg, uncharacteristic for a trained biologist, tries to search the station for the last hit of crack, which was just invented a year earlier in 1982.  However, in his crack pangs, he fails completely and trips over himself losing 1 HP. (Roll of 1 -1 Paranoia = 0 vs. Roll of 4)

Saint_Kerrigan also looks for a spare flashlight and manages to find one left over after the storage locker was looted.  (Roll of 7 - 1 Paranoia = 6 vs. DC of 4)

WedgeAntilles believes it's time to look for a little knife insurance, after being convinced half a broken test tube will make an insufficient weapon against enemies.  He manages to find a pretty sharp knife and strokes it lovingly as he puts it into his pocket.  (Roll of 5 - 1 Paranoia = 4 vs. DC of 3)

Tramau hops out of the radio room to search for another flashlight but manages to just see one before Saint_Kerrigan stole it.  (Roll of 2 vs. DC of 2)

AA7Dragoon, remembering the storage locker layout, searches for a flashlight and also finds one.  (Roll of 7 + 2 Class Bonus - 1 Paranoia =8 vs. DC of 2)

Mucky decides to go outside, which he is awesome at, and does.

[Milldawg]

I thought I told you not to post the battle logs.

Anyway, I don't know whether I have to sleep now or whatever, so I'll just post a list of default actions for the rest of the game.

-Keep searching for crack until I find it.
-Search for two knives until I find them.
-Huddle in the corner.

[FlyingHat]

Oh what the heck, I'm going outside and looting that dead Norwegian guy.


Screw that, I'm going to be an asshole and accuse Milldawg of being the Thing.

[SaintKerrigan]

"Well, at least we know Lav wasn't the Thing. But the Thing seems to be displaying a high level of intellect, going after the people that can get us out of here. This is disconcerting. FlyingHat, watch out!
"You know, I'm in danger too..."

Turn on flashlight and search for flamethrower.

"And FlyingHat, calm down! This tension is not going to help us get out of here."

[WedgeAntilles]

Can I do a special action and a normal action at the same time?

Special Action: Create Antigen Item


and if I can also do a normal action at the same time (if I can't, I only want to do the special action):

Search for Pistol

[Thalraxal]

"Despite the inconclusive results of my test, I think we can safely say that Lavarinth is not currently infected by The Thing.  Clearly, I will have to further refine my methods, or atleast make sure that the subject is properly restrained.  Hmm... well, in the meantime..."

Heal Lav

[Lavarinth]

"Never mess with the 'rinth. Obviously the Thing wont be attacking tonight as the logs obviously state the Thing is extremely weak."

Use flashlight, search for Shotgun.

[DrumsofWar]

Keep 'em coming.

[Tramau]

I'm going to take this opportunity to try to repair the radio.
