You scope out the action in the dive bar, but for the moment the chaos is at a lull. No brawling, no scrapping, no serious acts of intimidation. Just a bunch of loud and rowdy people drinking and playing games.
Options:
- Get into an armwrestling contest
- Play trivia
- Play darts
- Grab some water
- Look around a little harder for a fight
| Wouldn't you prefer a nice game of chess? |
Results
If you chose Get into an armwrestling contest:
|
The Right to Bare Arms
With less than 10 buffed Strength points:
The mind is willing, but unfortunately the flesh is weak. As a fledgling superhero, you're tougher than the average person, but so is every single biker, brawler, and bouncer in this bar. As such you're game for a number of rounds and flex your muscles quite a bit, but you still lose every single match. Still, it's nice to know where you stand, and it's good exercise.
Between 10 and 49 buffed Strength points:
As an intermediate hero, you're now pretty tough, so the first few guys fall easily. Still, there's a couple of particularly bulky fellows (one known as Big Mike and another guy they just call Thor) who put you in your place, and another wiry but surprisingly strong former mountain climber named Jake who you just can't best. It's a very good workout, that's for sure.
With 50 or more buffed Strength points:
As a veteran hero there's simply nobody in this bar who can match your muscular prowess. One after another they fall to you: Larry, Little Mike, Lazy J, T-Bone, Hungry Ralph, Big Mike, Jake, Bobby T, and yes, even Thor. For an encore you bench press one of the bar benches, with Big Mike and Little Mike sitting on it at the time. The guys are all very impressed, but don't think it'll keep a besotted brawler from trying to pick a fight next time you come through the doors.
You gain 1 strength.
If you chose Play trivia:
|
Nontrivial Pursuit
You sit down at the bar and pass some time answering multiple choice questions about random subjects. You get a few right, you get a few wrong, a couple of the facts even manage to stick in your head for a while.
You gain 1 intellect.
If you chose Play darts:
|
Playing Cool Playing Darts
You decide darts sound like the most fun, so you spend some time throwing sharp, pointy objects across a room full of drunken, staggering people. It's as much of a challenge avoiding all the people as it is getting the darts into the board. Definitely good target practice, though.
If you are wielding Dark Arts, the Sharks Darts, or possibly other dart weapons you get this message instead:
You decide darts sound like the most fun, so you spend some time throwing sharp, pointy objects across a room full of drunken, staggering people. The other players might be good with these flimsy bar darts, but they stand in awe of (Your equipped darts).
You gain 1 reflexes.
If you chose Grab some water:
|
Combat!
Fight over-zealous teetotaler
If you chose Look around a little harder for a fight:
|
