Gotta Move Quick

You're crossing what used to be a deserted street, until a taxi comes careening around a corner at twice the speed it ought to be driving, hits a pothole, and veers to the side just enough that it's speeding directly at you. You've gotta move! Now!

• Dive left
  
• Dive right
  
• Jump straight into the air

Dive Left

You dive left, barely evading the taxi and rolling onto the sidewalk. You roll back into a standing position, look yourself over, and realize that you're completely unharmed. It's actually a pretty smooth move, once you calm down enough to think about it, and you spend a few minutes practicing some other tumbles.

You gain 50 XP

Dance to the Right

Instinctively you leap to the right. The taxi whizzes by just inches from you, but you're okay. Off balance, you have to take several long strides before you can re-orient yourself and come to a stop. On the ground in front of you is an abandoned backpack. You pick it up and look inside, hoping to find a name or address to be able to return it, but there aren't any identifying marks. Figuring it's just going to disappear if you leave it hear, you take the pack with you.

You got an item: backpack

It's the Only Game in Town

You try to jump over the cab, figuring that's the cool way for a superhero to handle the situation. Unfortunately your jump isn't quite powerful enough, and the "Egnaro Cab" sign just barely clips your right foot as it zips underneath. The contact sends you flying, skidding and scraping across rough asphalt, scattered debris, and broken glass.
You figure to pull a move like that off, you'd need some better jumping power. Practice might do it eventually, but if you had some springy boots or something like that, it could help.

You lose ??15-18?? HP.
