| + | |
| + | == Description == |
| + | |
| + | About 50 yards away from you, on top of a small hill, stands a large gazebo. |
| + | |
| + | It's about 30 feet across, 15 feet high and it has a pointed top. |
| + | |
| + | For some reason, there appears to be an arrow sticking out of it, and someone has carved the words "Eric woz ere" into one of the supports. Eric, presumably. |
| + | |
| + | == Combat Messages == |
| + | '''Initiative message(s):''' |
| + | *While its attention is directed elsewhere, you creep up on it. |
| + | |
| + | '''Failed attack message(s):''' |
| + | *You begin to attack, but then you start to wonder if antagonising a gazebo is such a wise idea. Or even possible. You decide not to attack after all. Seriously, why would you want to do that? It's a GAZEBO, ''playername''! |
| + | *You commence your attack, but the gazebo doesn't appear to be vulnerable in any immediately obvious way. |
| + | |
| + | '''Failed item message(s):''' |
| + | *Using that would be a complete waste of time. What would you want to use that for? It's a GAZEBO! |
| + | |
| + | '''Miss message(s):''' |
| + | *The gazebo completely fails to do anything at all. |
| + | *The gazebo continues to stand there, completely immobile, doing absolutely nothing whatsoever. It is after all, just a gazebo. |
| + | *The gazebo rears up on its powerful.. no, wait.. it doesn't have powerful anythings to rear up on. It's a gazebo and it behaves pretty much how you'd expect a gazebo to behave; it doesn't react in any way. |
| + | |
| + | '''Chicken Out message(s):''' |
| + | *You realise that attacking an ornamental lawn feature is fairly pointless, and decide to redirect your attention to something more interesting. |
| + | |
| + | == Location(s) == |
| + | *[[Charlie Gardens Memorial Park]] |
| + | |
| + | == Rewards == |
| + | '''Stats for Chickening Out:''' |
| + | *You gain 10-26 [[brains]] [[subpoints]] |
| + | |
| + | == Notes == |
| + | *Chickening Out yields substats on this combat adventure. |
| + | |
| + | '''After clicking the attack button 30 times, this happens:''' |
| + | |
| + | You are fighting a dread gazebo |
| + | |
| + | It's too late. You've awakened the gazebo. It catches you and eats you! |
| + | |
| + | You lose all [[HP]]. |
| + | |
| + | == References == |
| + | |
| + | *This whole adventure is a reference to 'The tale of Eric and the Dread Gazebo' in which the boy, Eric, is unaware of what a Gazebo is in a spoken role play game and therefore tries to destroy it.
