KICK THE TURKEY 2

Saturday November 29
by Djentsch

The second great turkey hunt was held from the Urban Spaceman Bar. All the players gathered, had the rules explained to them and then the game got started:

Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "And they're off with the Frogger in the lead followed closely by Jazir, and Shrevo"
Your comm unit relays a message from Turkey, "gobble.. eep!"
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "eepp, didn't know that a Turkey could make that sound"

The first kick was gotten by Shrevo, followed closely by one from the little Froggy. And the Turkey even had a cheering section tonight as well:

Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "Go turkey! Run!"

Which didn't make the kitty happy, but it did the bird:

Your comm unit relays a message from Catspaws, "Gwappie, are you nuts?"
Your comm unit relays a message from Turkey, "yay! gobble!"
Your comm unit relays a message from Catspaws, "Bring me that bird, I'm hungry."

We had to do a quick pause because one player had the wrong command, we got that fixed and we picked up where we left off.

I had Gwaptive in the Bar with me, being himself as always... Never knew Hollanders were so gross:

Oh how disgusting - Gwaptiva has just spat something in the vague direction of the spittoon. Luckily the clever little gadget uses suction to make it impossible to miss, which is a relief otherwise the floor would get very messy.
Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "go Turkey!"
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "and the bird still has a cheering section, though the Kitty isn't happy about it"

The fowl thought that now was a good time to tease the players, but found out right after that it wasn't safe:

Your comm unit relays a message from Turkey, "gobble nananana gobble gobble"
Your comm unit relays a message from Turkey, "gobble! gobble! OW!"

At the end of the 1st round, I had all the players return to the Bar so I could count up the scores, while they were treated to food and drinks by their host. The scores ast this point were: the Frog in the lead with 7, Jazir in second with 5, with Shrevo bringing up the read with 4.

Then round two started. With our own Hollander still being the same:

Oh how disgusting - Gwaptiva has just spat something in the vague direction of the spittoon...

Of course, the bird tried to argue about the scores:

Your comm unit relays a message from Turkey, "gobble! but I got 16!"
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "your kicking the players doesn't count"
Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "ah, turkey fights back"
Your comm unit relays a message from Catspaws, "someone grab me that drumstick!"
Your comm unit relays a message from Shrevo, "turkey can't kick himself"
Your comm unit relays a message from Turkey, "er.. I'm kicking myself"

Jazir was the first out the door, followed by Shrevo.

Gwaptiva exclaims, "go froggy!!"
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "i think that the Frog has hopped it's little heart out and can't go no more... lol"
Djentsch says, "hey Frog, GO!!!. lol"
Gwaptiva pats the froggy
Gwaptiva looks around for a froggy prodding stick
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "and Shrevo got the first kick in for this round"
Froggy says, "ok iam going"
Froggy has left.

There wasn't much banter during the 2nd round. Once it was over, I called the players back to the bar and added up the scores.

Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "ok, i currently have Froggy with 9 kicks. Jazir with 5 kicks. and Shrevo has taken the lead with 15 kicks at the end of the second round"

Now with me being me, I was watching where the Turkey was hiding, and the spot that it picked for the first time of the 3rd round, could have turned out bad... which it did for 1 player:

tb turkey playing dangerous there. lol
Your comm unit signals a tight beam message from Turkey, "hey I'm not in a death loc ;)"
tb turkey no, but close. lol
Your comm unit signals a tight beam message from Turkey, "jazir just walked into the transuranics room right by me"
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "OUCH, looks like Jazir got a trip to the hospital"
Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "Turkey in radiation rooms ftw!"

With what happened, I had to check on Jazir, just to make sure she was ok:

Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "you ok Jazir?"
Your comm unit relays a message from Jazir, "Dandy :)"

She took it with a smile and kept on going.

During all of that, the kitty decided to start placing orders as well as trading banter with the bird:

Your comm unit relays a message from Catspaws, "Jazir, bring me the guts of that bird, ok?"
Your comm unit relays a message from Jazir, "grins::"
Your comm unit relays a message from Catspaws, "I'll take a frog leg or two as well ::licks her paw smugly::"
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "and i see that the kitty is placing her order in already"
Your comm unit relays a message from Turkey, "she already has ticks :)"
Your comm unit signals a tight beam message from Gearjammer, "Froggy kicked me"
Your comm unit relays a message from Catspaws, "Nah, but you have lice, I bet :)"

The little Froggy, even with a late start took control of the round near the end getting in 17 kicks. At the end of the round, everyone came back to the bar so that I could add up the scores and see if the Turkey would revel whom it was:

Turkey takes off the Turkey costume to reveal.... Jezz!

Shrevo had a total score of 19, Jazir had a total score of 8, and our winner of the Great Turkey Hunt, was Froggy with 39 kicks and the winner of the Slithy.

You give Froggy the gift of a valuable slithy tove.
Turkey applauds
Your comm unit relays a message from Jazir, "Bravo Froggy!"
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "congrats Froggy"
Turkey exclaims, "39??? wow. He was fast!"
