Epicmafia Adventure #2

almost 9 years

A text based adventure game, hosted by me. Post to join the adventuring party. Once you post, I will let you select your starting items, and once everyone is ready, the adventure begins.

You will perform actions by typing "-" then the action. I will then tell you the result of your actions, and roll dice if necessary. Be advised that you cannot take back your actions once you perform them, and that success or even advancement past the first room is not guaranteed to your party. You will need to play smart, and work together if you wish to succeed in this adventure.

P.S. don't sign up if you aren't willing to put a good amount of effort in, last time I did this people took it pretty seriously.

You stand before an impressive moat with the rest of your adventuring party, the murky water not far below. Across it, an enormous gothic castle with decaying stone walls, several tall spires twisting upwards. The air is thick and damp. You can hear faint sounds of people gossiping in the air, though there is no one in sight save for your silent party. A moldy, yet thick wooden bridge invites your entry to the castle.

What you and your comrades seek is the library room of the castle, which contains the mythic everybin document. It is said that every player on the site's most foul deeds are recorded there. You have all done things you're not proud of, things you'd rather were forgotten. The document must be destroyed so that you can finally fulfill your lifelong dream of becoming an epicmafia moderator. And so an alliance of players was formed to brave the dangers of....

...the Castle of Lore

It rolls a 6, its nails ripping into the soft flesh of your octo-arm.

It does not seem to notice the effects of strangulation.

this strangulation destroys zoveas neck and his head falls off

also for the record, these zombies are bloated from being in the water, so A) they aren't fast and B) they are extremely fragile

so basically these zombies are just giant mushy bananas

Satan, putting your desire to be stronger in this game aside, do you really think an octopus arm can throw a human body any significant distance? Even if it were 3x the size of a regular octo-arm?

it's called adapting, when you throw something you learn which muscles to contract at which time. and ive lived all my life with this octopus arm so i've had plenty of time to hone my skills with it. tyvm

It isn't built for throwing :o)

U know it isn't.

And I know it increases with length.. how long would the muscles need to be to throw the body, to pop the head!!?

Ryuko says

okay satan the new plan is to throw zovea back in the water

Reading this article his arm isn't going to be strong enough to throw much of anything. Dragging it would work though..

Octopus arms aren't built for throwing or lifting, they're built for contracting... slowly... and being flexible

you are misunderstanding that graph. activation amplitude is when you flex, and you see as the length increases so does the force. please don't tell me, a marine biologist, what an octopus arm is or isn't built for. thank you

-inspect my quill

You inspect your quill.

It's a soft raven feather (somehow you're able to recognize raven feather) with a pointed tip. You have a small glass vial of ink to accompany it.

If you still don't believe me about the octopus strength, here's a detailed model of how they work:

Tucker says

I imagine with Jeff being hurt his 'empowering' only puts him back at normal strength...?

Confirm/Deny?

Neither.

Force required to rip someone's head off is 5600N or more (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging#Long_drop)

Sure it's a fragile zombie, so let's say an eighth of that at 700N to be super generous to Satan.

In the video it says (in the description) that a single octopus arm can generate ~0.5N ...

Of course Satan's octo-arm is larger and thicker than a regular octopus', but it's muscle mass isn't going to be 1400x that of a regular octopus.

In short, get rekt.
