[Lambda] A small adventure begins...

>be caught doing something embarrassing.

>Go go gadget lamp!

>Deploy LAMP

Of course! You knew that lamp would be useful!
Fortuna rolls a d20. A 6 is rolled

T-that's a very large Sir.

>PET DOGGIE

>Back away swiftly and silently.

>Greet it very politely, put on the most british accent you can manage. "Good day Sir!"

> PET IT

>...It looks asleep. Probably should not wake up the Sir. Is there another way the Extral could have gone?

>How did you get a Fortuna Die

>How did you get a Fortuna Die

Huh? Oh, you've beaten the game lots of times and have all the items, but you don't see how that's relevant now. Even if you did have a die, it wouldn't help you. You aren't the player anymore, you think. Only players can use that!

>PET DOGGIE

> PET IT

It looks really, really gross. No.

>Greet it very politely, put on the most british accent you can manage. "Good day Sir!"

You don't have a death wish. Well you do, but that's not going to get you out of the Underworld. Really, dying is better than being Cosmic Friends Forever.

>Back away swiftly and silently.

You would do that, but really, how would that help you get out of here? You have to find that extral!

>...It looks asleep. Probably should not wake up the Sir. Is there another way the Extral could have gone?

You think you see something behind Sir, but the light has started to cause it to stir. You put the lamp back in your inventory.

Give up now and look for more people? Or try to find a way past Sir?
Or something else?

>Challenge the Sir to a rap battle!

>Or, you know... just walk around him.

> What the heck, try to go around, but be careful. If Sir stirs any further, then turn around and look elsewhere. quickly.

>Shimmy-Sham Around Sir.

>Shimmy-Sham Around Sir.

> What the heck, try to go around, but be careful. If Sir stirs any further, then turn around and look elsewhere. quickly.

>Or, you know... just walk around him.

You press yourself against the wall and slowly scoot down the hallway.
Fortuna rolls a d4 and d20. A 4 and 5 are rolled, respectively.

You nearly brush against Sir, but you keep moving until you no longer hear it. You figure it's safe to turn on your lamp again.

Oh this must be crew quarters or something? There are a whoooole lot of numbered doors.

Maybe the extral is in one of them?

>Welp, no better way to check than to open them sequentially starting from the nearest.

>Knock on door number 3, because third times the charm

>This must be one of those newfangled space doors that don't have door knobs. Try talking to the door!

>Kick in the door and yell "THIS IS SPACEPOLICE SURRENDER YOUR WIFI ACCESS"

>Eh, knock nicely and peek through the doorway if you hear something normal. Growling, Clawing, Fighting, Wailing of Lost Souls, you should probably move to the next room.

>This must be one of those newfangled space doors that don't have door knobs. Try talking to the door!

Oh come on, you've played Fortuna enough to know how doors work.

>Welp, no better way to check than to open them sequentially starting from the nearest.

>Knock on door number 3, because third times the charm

None of the doors are numbered except for one near you. It has the number 12 printed neatly on it.

>Eh, knock nicely and peek through the doorway if you hear something normal. Growling, Clawing, Fighting, Wailing of Lost Souls, you should probably move to the next room.

>Kick in the door and yell "THIS IS SPACEPOLICE SURRENDER YOUR WIFI ACCESS"

You stand away from the door and knock.

It opens!

Ah, perfect, just who you were looking for!

Fortuna rolls a d20. A 10 is rolled.

Oh.

What now?

SpoilerHey all! You may notice I'm slowing down on the updates soon (and now). School is starting up again and it's going to take up a lot of my time. I will update as much as I can though! I'll be sure to let you know if I plan on taking a hiatus for a bit.

That being said, I would be more than happy to do a few text-only updates as they only take me a few minutes to write. I'll only be using these to answer questions (EX: "How many extrals are in that room?"), so don't worry about not seeing something important.

I'm really glad so many people are enjoying this story, it's a lot of fun for me too! Thank you all in advance for your understanding.

>Am I interrupting something?

>Extral dating simulator: Go!

>Ask if they know where the cakes are.

> Eat them.

> Eat them.

Uh, no.

>Extral dating simulator: Go!

While you would try to date the extral, they aren't here. There are a bunch of extrals though.

>Am I interrupting something?

You decide to point the lamp at them, to get a headcount.
Fortuna rolls a d20. A 13 is rolled.

13. You think there are 13.

They exit the room. You step back.

>Ask if they know where the cakes are.

Instead of answering, they rip a tear in space and scuttle through it.

Follow them? Or keep moving down this hallway? Or do something else?

>Clearly the only option here is to follow them!

>Eh, it's probably safe if you want to go through. Pretty sure Extral's won't intentionally tear open a rip to someplace immediately lethal and head on through.
