On what should have been a routine patrol along the edges of the hive, you stumble into what appears to be an entire squadron of renegade robots. There are way too many to fight at once, so you duck back into an alley, but it's too late. One of the scouts sounds an alarm, and in moments dozens of robots are after you!
Over the course of a few minutes of sprinting, you manage to lose most of the robots. But then you turn down what turns out to be a dead-end alley, sealed at the end by a towering brick wall. You turn, but you can see the glow of a headlight approaching the opening to the alley. There could be anything out there, maybe just one robot, maybe an entire swarm.
Options:
- Run away!
- Run towards the foe!
- Jump over the wall (without the ability to fly, with the ability to super jump.)
- Fly over the wall (with the ability to fly.)
| Which way to run? |
Results
If you chose Run away!:
|
|
There's No Brick Wall Thick Enough ...
Deciding you'd rather not deal with whatever is coming your way, you take the sensible option and retreat. Directly through the brick wall. Because that's the kind of hero you are.
It makes a real mess of the wall, but you find some things ...
You got an item: pile of bricks 
If you chose Run towards the foe!:
Combat!
Random A renegade robot hive combat encounter
If you chose Jump over the wall (without the ability to fly, with the ability to super jump.):
|
|
Up, Up, and Away, Away
You jump over the wall without any trouble, and disappear into the night. It's not so heroic, but "live to fight another day" and all that jazz, right?
Or, during step 1 of The Last Nostronomian quest, with a companion:
You jump over the wall without any trouble. As you disappear into the night, you notice another hero fighting robots... a hero that looks suspiciously like a space alien.
It offers to help you out, but your companion would get super jealous.
Or, during step 1 of The Last Nostronomian quest, without a companion:
You jump over the wall without any trouble. As you disappear into the night, you notice another hero fighting robots... a hero that looks suspiciously like a space alien.
But, as it turns out, it's actually an extradimensional alien from that weird Elco Hoist portal. From what it says, it's the last of its kind, but will help you out if you can show it around this dimension some.
You don't have a companion right now, so you can let it tag along.
Or, during step 3 of The Last Nostronomian quest:
You jump over the wall without any trouble. As you disappear into the night, you notice that nice alien that helped you out seems to be missing... and there's a scrap of uniform hanging from a nearby pipe.
A badge on the scrap says "Shiloh Sanatarium Orderly" in large, friendly letters.
Huh. You're not sure if it's more surprising that Shiloh has orderlies or that they were out here. It's pretty suspicious either way.
No time is wasted
If you chose Fly over the wall (with the ability to fly.):
