The General's Challenge
1. You all find yourselves caught in the rain. And the clouds bring the lightning and thunder as bolts strike at everyone. The lightning creeps closer to you, aiming to hit you all. Evade the bolts and get to safety.
Konji discards his bronze hook and silver bottle to attract the lightning, then folds up his wings and crouches due to his height. With this air, he won't be able to fly, so height is of the essence now. He stays away from the RVs and heads away from the river. His large size should distribute some of the shock, but he still wants to avoid the pain.
2. The rainfall increases tenfold. Before you know it, you find the camp is flooding. Reach high ground or drown.
Konji tries to find a tree and push it down so he can lay upon it. If not, he may have to float with his wings extended as natural paddles. Anything to stay away from the lightning, even if these baby trees may snap from such force.
3. Now the rainwater has turned to blood. The sharks from the river are swimming after you, looking for a nice meal. Fight them off otherwise you're dinner.
Unfortunately, Konji now regrets discarding his hook and may have to resort to wrestling them by hand, possibly even leaving some to suffocate in air. These are chump change compared to the water beasts on his home planet, but if he gets anything bitten off he has five extra limbs to spare (and hopefully a hook, if it's not corroded by the blood).
1. Brilliant thinking. Abandoning your equipment as the lightning strikes it. It's attracted to your belongings. But you manage to make your way to the river, carefully avoiding the strikes. No problem.
Rolled 8 and 1+ for your cunning for 9.
2. The tree is well-planted to the ground. It's too much for you to push down, especially for your age. So you have to settle for using your wings to keep afloat. You manage to not drown, but you're still sore from the tree.
Rolled 6 and 1- for old age for 5.
3. But it's okay. The adrenaline rush after seeing the sharks serves you well as you easily outman (or should I say outdragon) them. You pile-drive them into some trees and chokehold them all to death. And all without a single bite on your flesh.
Rolled 8.
General Konji Lonjummu has scored a total of 22 points.
I like bananas. They're yellow.
