End of Round 2
Karl knew he’d picked the right group. The little one was raving like a lunatic. Christa had transitioned into judgmental sociopath mode. The cat was unknowingly insulting people with chocolate bars.
The bunny and the robot were probably bottling up all their shenanigans and one-liners for more opportune moments.
Unfortunately, the group’s half-assed journey met another large hurdle when an explosion went off just behind them. The two quiet members of the group were nearest to the blast, and Karl could only wince as their bodies were hurtled passed him, trailing smoke in their wake. Chara, who had wandered a ways off following her episode, was struck by part of a tree and sent bowling toward the water’s edge.
Karl and the others had enough maneuvering space to avoid the blast and the hail of shrapnel that followed seconds later. “Aww, not my favorite suit,” the executive muttered as he frowned at the sand and dirt that now caked his purple attire.
“We have larger concerns!” Red shouted as everyone heard the thunder of footsteps coming from the now smoldering forest. The cat shouted something else, but his words were lost amid the clap of thunder and the downpour of rain that followed moments later.
Moments later, a creature made from stone and fire came lumbering out from the trees and threw its head back in a primal roar.
Christa, who had managed to avoid the blast, caught sight of something in the ground. She must have knocked it loose attempting to escape the explosion, so before she assessed the situation, she calmly scooped up the object.

Quote:This represents the first (legit) optional ‘Player versus Monster’ event, as this is a pseudo-boss rather than a horde of things. You have the option to engage or flee. More information can be found here - http://omniverse-rpg.com/showthread.php?tid=5679.
You may engage the event and attempt to win, gaining something of value in return. Or you may attempt to avoid this.
Your opposition is - http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HvyfOY-1rMg/Tb...3dqcsd.jpg - It’s a golem-like monster made of stone, steel, and atomic fire. It smashes things but can also shoot blasts of ‘atomic’ fire that explode like bombs.
Nice job ‘winning’ Round 1, Christa. Your prize, if you find the time to investigate it, is an ampoule that will remove 4 points of damage and restore 1 SP to an individual. It has one use.
Cyborg (4 points of damage) and Judy (6 points of damage) are now half-conscious in the ocean. Chara suffered 4 points of damage but will settle for being sandy.
Chara and Cyborg are eliminated from final prize contention. Neither of you are dead, though.
