		Jacqueline says, "I like dinosaurs."
		Jacqueline asks, "So, everyone cool with Mangiasaur?"
		Jacqueline counts slowly to ten.
		ChrisC says (to djfletch), "yeah I think so too, I was more referring to gameplay-by-committee in such a unforgivingly randomized setting."
Ellison arrives, ready to play with the toys.		Johnny asks, "If Mangiasaur is as short as I think it is, would we possibly get to a second game?"
		Jacqueline says, "So, no opposition to Mangiasaur."
		djfletch says (to ChrisC), "hmm, yes, it might be tricky."
		Jacqueline says (to Johnny), "Probably, yeah."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load mangiasaur"

Floyd \| I don't understand what you are trying to eat. Floyd \| Floyd \| You spot a nearby caterpillar behaving strangely; apparently having Floyd \| finished eating, it seems to be busy defecating! It squirms around on Floyd \| its branch, excreting little grey blobs all around itself.

Floyd \| (Your score has increased by 3) Floyd \| It's not like it can run away. You scrape the dry little thing off its Floyd \| branch and chew. It tastes pretty awful.

You can feel the hunger relenting as you Floyd \| digest, but the your body doesn't seem to know what to do with the Floyd \| food. You won't grow any larger from such a small bite, but you feel Floyd \| growth nonetheless...in your shoulders. You bleed briefly and squirm Floyd \| from the pain, beginning to wish you had just left the little wad of Floyd \| bug alone until you realize ... you have not grown bigger, but you have Floyd \| grown wings.

Floyd \| You see no such thing. Floyd \| Floyd \| A caterpillar cocoon nearby begins to stir, seemingly trying to wiggle Floyd \| free of the branch it previously clung to with such tenacity!

Floyd \| Floyd \| Forest Floor Floyd \| Under the canopy the trees are huge columns of wood sprouting from a Floyd \| rotten, brown blanket of fallen leaves and branches.

Floyd \| Slugs are so common here that the foliage on the ground is constantly Floyd \| moving. Floyd \| Floyd \| From here you can go back up to the treetops, east into the valley, or Floyd \| south into the cavern. Floyd \| The air is cooling as the sun moves toward its resting place. Floyd \| Floyd \| Distension is a natural thing for a mangiasaur's belly, but you are Floyd \| aware of your stomach returning to normal as you process your excess of Floyd \| food.

Floyd \| You are not holding the sky. Floyd \| Floyd \| You hear some kind of animal nearby dragging itself along the forest Floyd \| floor. Floyd \| Floyd \| >

Floyd \| (Your score has increased by 1) Floyd \| It's not like to you need to know where these bugs are to eat them.

Floyd \| (Your score has increased by 4) Floyd \| You snap your mouth shut, crushing the bat instantly. It's a little Floyd \| more than a mouthful. Floyd \| You enjoy the delicious bat, spitting out the wings as you chew and Floyd \| swallow. By the time you are done eating, you feel a strange sensation Floyd \| in your throat. You are not choking though. Rather, you are growing. Floyd \| A lump in your throat. Not a tumor, but a voice box! You have grown Floyd \| your own voice box and can now chirp like a bat!

		DavidW says, "well, I'm curious about Doctor M, wondering if it's a Rematch sort of game."
		genericgeekgirl says, "Not at all."
		genericgeekgirl says, "It's also pretty long, and probably one that we should start with some week."
		Jacqueline says, "I am thinking Metula Macanus, because it is pretty much the exact opposite of what we just played, and because it is long and I don't think we'll ever play the whole thing, just enough to get a sense of it for voting. So we could start that, play until we're done, and if people want to continue to play it through the week on their own that is fine and I'll monitor the transcripts, even if they're not at the official time."
		maga says, "Mentula is, ahem, really very long, but it does have a fairly distinct opening section that would give people an idea of whether they'd like to play any more"

Floyd \|
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "pierce"
Floyd \| Act>(Miranda) Floyd \| You transform part of your own flesh into a magical dagger, which then Floyd \| speeds towards Miranda of its own accord.

Floyd \| Floyd \| You are no longer stunned. Floyd \|		inky says, "bummer"

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "attack"
Floyd \| Act>(Miranda) Floyd \| Miranda attempts to ward off the attack.

Floyd \| Floyd \| You deal 1 + 2 (inherent bonus) = 3 damage, killing Miranda. Floyd \| Floyd \| "But... my adventure was only just beginning!" cries Miranda. Floyd \| Floyd \| As Miranda dies, you feel her soul absorbed into your own body. (Power Floyd \| of Miranda: +1 attack, +1 defence, +5 health, +1 perception, and the Floyd \| stun skill.)

Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Phantasmagoria Floyd \| This huge hall is filled with the radiant images of warriors long dead, Floyd \| fighting their bloody battles over and over again.

Floyd \| Floyd \| Exits lead south (to Hall of Mirrors), east (to Drawing Room), west (to Floyd \| Temple of Isatzo) and up (to Workshop of the Blademaster). Floyd \|
inky says (to Floyd), "status"
Floyd \| >Health: 24 of 20 Floyd \| Attack: 3 Floyd \| Defence: 9 Floyd \| Perception: 5 Floyd \| Dexterity: 5 Floyd \| Willpower: 6 Floyd \| Since you are strengthened by blood, hitting an enemy gives you a Floyd \| temporary damage bonus. (Level 1) Floyd \|

inky says (to Floyd), "e"
Floyd \| > Floyd \| Drawing Room Floyd \| This otherwise unremarkable room has been decorated with a fascinating Floyd \| drawing. Floyd \| Floyd \| The air is full of the tiny brown spores of the rust moss. Floyd \| Floyd \| The room is dominated by a chain golem, a moving mass of iron and Floyd \| copper chains, both thick and thin, that hulks in its center. Floyd \| Floyd \| You can also see a scroll labelled TWAN METIER here. Floyd \| Floyd \| Exits lead south (to Entrance Hall), west (to Phantasmagoria) and down. Floyd \| Floyd \| The rusted chain golem starts rotating slowly, spinning its chains Floyd \| around its core. Floyd \|
inky says (to Floyd), "concentrate"
Floyd \| Act>You concentrate, and are now mildly concentrated. Floyd \| Floyd \| As rust spores whirl around the room, the dagger of draining rusts. Floyd \| Floyd \| The rusted chain golem speeds up, its chains whirling through the air. Floyd \| Floyd \| As rust spores whirl around the room, Fafhrd's sword rusts. Floyd \| Floyd \| As rust spores whirl around the room, the crown of the empire rusts. Floyd \|
inky says (to Floyd), "concentrate"
Floyd \| Act>You concentrate, and are now quite concentrated. Floyd \| Floyd \| The rusted chain golem spins even faster, audibly slashing the air with Floyd \| its whip-like metal appendages. Floyd \|
inky says (to Floyd), "attack"
Floyd \| Act>(the rusted chain golem) Floyd \| The chain golem lashes out with a heavy iron chain, trying to stop the Floyd \| attack. Floyd \| Floyd \| You attempt to duck under the whirling chains. You roll 8 + 5 Floyd \| (dexterity score) = 13 against a target number of 10, succeeding at the Floyd \| dexterity check. Floyd \| Floyd \| Rolling 3 + 3 (inherent bonus) + 4 (concentration) - 2 (defender Floyd \| parrying) + 3 (tension) = 11, you beat the rusted chain golem's defence Floyd \| rating of 8. Floyd \| Floyd \| You deal 5 + 2 (concentration) + 2 (tension) + 1 (inherent bonus) = 10 Floyd \| damage, wounding the rusted chain golem to 6 health. Floyd \| Floyd \| Unbalanced by the hit, the chain golem stops spinning. Floyd \| Floyd \| The rusted chain golem starts rotating slowly, spinning its chains Floyd \| around its core. Floyd \|
inky says (to Floyd), "attack"
Floyd \| Act>(the rusted chain golem) Floyd \| The rusted chain golem speeds up, its chains whirling through the air. Floyd \| Floyd \| You attempt to duck under the whirling chains. You roll 9 + 5 Floyd \| (dexterity score) = 14 against a target number of 9, succeeding at the Floyd \| dexterity check. Floyd \| Floyd \| Rolling 9 + 3 (inherent bonus) + 1 (tension) = 13, you beat the rusted Floyd \| chain golem's defence rating of 8. Floyd \| Floyd \| You deal 5 + 1 (tension) + 1 (inherent bonus) + 3 (power of the ape) = Floyd \| 10 damage, killing the rusted chain golem. Floyd \| Floyd \| The chains lash out one final time, blindly seeking prey -- but fall Floyd \| down limply before they can hit anyone. With thousands of hard metal Floyd \| clicks they start falling asunder. Floyd \| Floyd \| As the chain golem bursts apart into its constituent links, you feel Floyd \| the soul that animated it absorbed into your own body. (Power of the Floyd \| chains: +2 attack, +2 damage, +1 defence, +12 health, and the lash Floyd \| skill.) Floyd \| Floyd \| The violence of the absorption drives the power of the ape out of your Floyd \| body. Absorbing a soul has fully healed you. Floyd \|

Floyd \| >This is the blade that chopped off the head of Philip the Traitor Floyd \| after he had been found guilty of murdering his brother, Charles IV. Floyd \| Ever since, pilgrims have flocked to Montenoir's temple of Nomos to see Floyd \| and revere it. How it has ended up in this dungeon is anyone's guess.

inky says (to Floyd), "d"
Floyd \| > Floyd \| Quartering Room Floyd \| The smell of decay here is overwhelming. A large pile of human body Floyd \| parts lies in a corner. Floyd \| Floyd \| The air is full of the tiny brown spores of the rust moss. Floyd \| Floyd \| A skull-sized ball of gooish, undulating flesh jumps up and down Floyd \| ponderously. It is a jumping bomb, gathering speed and preparing to Floyd \| launch itself at one of its enemies. Floyd \| Floyd \| An exit leads up (to Drawing Room). Floyd \|
inky says (to Floyd), "attack bomb"
Floyd \| Act>The jumping bomb attempts to bump out of the way. Floyd \| Floyd \| Rolling 7 + 4 (inherent bonus) - 2 (defender dodging) = 9, you beat the Floyd \| jumping bomb's defence rating of 8. Floyd \| Floyd \| You deal 2 + 2 (inherent bonus) = 4 damage, wounding the jumping bomb Floyd \| to 8 health. Floyd \|
inky says (to Floyd), "attack bomb"
Floyd \| Act>The jumping bomb attempts to bump out of the way. Floyd \| Floyd \| Rolling 1 + 4 (inherent bonus) - 2 (defender dodging) = 3, you do not Floyd \| overcome the jumping bomb's defence rating of 8. Floyd \| Floyd \| As rust spores whirl around the room, the gilded rapier rusts. Floyd \| Floyd \| The jumping bomb jumps up and down a little bit faster. Floyd \| Floyd \| The jumping bomb speeds up, and is now bumping around energetically. Floyd \|
inky says (to Floyd), "attack bomb"
Floyd \| Act>The jumping bomb attempts to bump out of the way. Floyd \| Floyd \| Rolling 2 + 4 (inherent bonus) - 2 (defender dodging) + 2 (tension) - 2 Floyd \| (speed of the jumping bomb) = 4, you do not overcome the jumping bomb's Floyd \| defence rating of 8. Floyd \| Floyd \| The jumping bomb accelerates yet further, your image of it dissolving Floyd \| almost into a blur. Floyd \| Floyd \| Suddenly changing its direction, the jumping bomb launches itself Floyd \| towards you -- threatening instant death upon contact. Floyd \|
inky says (to Floyd), "dodge"
Floyd \| React>You get ready for quick evasive maneuvers. Floyd \| Floyd \| Rolling 2 - 2 (inherent penalty) + 8 (concentration) - 3 (defender Floyd \| dodging) + 3 (tension) - 6 (lower concentration bonus for jumping bomb) Floyd \| = 2, the jumping bomb does not overcome your defence rating of 9.

Floyd \| Floyd \| You deal 5 + 2 (concentration) + 3 (tension) + 2 (inherent bonus) - 2 Floyd \| (rust) = 10 damage, killing the jumping bomb. Floyd \| Floyd \| As the last of its blood flows out of the jumping bomb, it goes limp Floyd \| and falls to the floor like a punctured balloon. Floyd \| Floyd \| As the bomb deflates, you feel its insane, beastly soul absorbed into Floyd \| your own body. (Power of the bomb: +2 attack, +2 defence, +10 health, Floyd \| and you will now explode when killed, giving you a last chance to Floyd \| defeat your enemy and perhaps absorb his soul in the process.) Floyd \| Floyd \| The violence of the absorption drives the power of the chains out of Floyd \| your body. Absorbing a soul has fully healed you. Floyd \|

Floyd \| Floyd \| You can also see five flash grenades and a cloak of shadows here. Floyd \| Floyd \| Exits lead north (to Bridge of Doom), south (to Library) and down (to Floyd \| Phantasmagoria). Floyd \| Floyd \| Bodmall chants softly, and great clouds of fog or smoke rise up from Floyd \| the ground. Floyd \|

Floyd \| Floyd \| Bodmall deals 8 + 2 (you are running) = 10 damage, killing you. Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Bodmall kneels over your corpse. "Death is but a stage in the cycle of Floyd \| Nature," she says. Floyd \| Floyd \| Your body explodes vehemently, but Bodmall survives the blast.
