Pandemic Panic: The Tower

You stand on the roof of the Tower, the remnants of our civilization spread out in all directions. There is no sign of human life, as there has been for years. You reminisce, as you often have, about the beginning of the end of things. About five years ago, the news broke out that a highly contagious virus was discovered in the East. The Virus caused the afflicted to slowly go insane and wreak havoc. Since then, humanity has all but been wiped out. What does the future hold? You’ve heard rumours from fellow travelers that somewhere, scientists from the old government are trying to develop a vaccine. The possibility seems slim, but you are hopeful. Taking one last look around, you decide to head back down the Tower. You grab your backpack, which has served you faithfully all these years. What are you keeping in your bag? [[A spiked baseball bat->2]] [[A pair of running shoes->3]] [[A map of the state->4]] (set: $Muscle to 1) (set: $Speed to 1) (set: $Smarts to 1) (set: $Luck to 1)

You turn around and head out from the balcony back inside. In front of you lies the elevator, and off to your side are the stairs, the way you came. You’re not particularly looking forward to the trek, but it would be a good opportunity to give each Floor another search. [[Take the elevator->6]] [[Go down the stairs->7]] [[Jump off the Tower->46]]

(if: $Ascendence is true) [(goto: "36")] Tentatively, you push the CALL button. (set: $roll to 0) (for: each _i, ...(range: 1, $Luck)) [(set: $roll to $roll + (random: 1,6))] (set: $roll to 6) (if: $roll <= 5 or $Broken is true)[[Roll->8]] (else:)[[Roll->9]]
