The GP Advent Calendar - Door 21

Dec 21, 2022 4:51 pm
Hey there, lovely GP community!

Throughout the next 24 days, we, the mods, want to highlight some fun, exciting, cool or otherwise interesting GP posts, just to give you all a glimpse of what might be going on on the site outside of your own games and to share some gaming enthusiasm around.

Since we can only be in a small number of games, compared to all the many going on at the same time, there will definitely be some amazing posts that none of the mod team are aware of. If you saw a great post in a game you're in or you have written something that you're particularly proud of, please share it with me in a private message and we will put it under consideration for a future advent calendar door. Unfortunately, an advent calendar only has 24 doors so it's possible we won't be able to share everything that gets submitted to us if we get a lot of messages, but I'd still love to read as many posts you find fascinating as possible so don't be shy about submitting one or more posts you think would get other people excited 😊
Today's post comes from TheGenerator in an old Call of Cthulhu game, attempting a somewhat desperate, but definitely creative action.

Yarno tries to back away from the swipe again, but he's already standing with his back to the wall. No where to go but up. "I don't know! This place is full of them apparently." He replies to Joe as he once again raises the gun and pulls the trigger.

"Son of a...! I'm out of bullets!" The creature tries to slash his arm as he reaches for his hempen bag. Luckily, it seems a bit confused by everything that's going on and doesn't manage to connect. Yarno, with no time to spare, pulls the first thing he can out of the bag, hoping it's his weapon. Unfortunately, it's not... In his hand he now has a bag of reptile food. Hang on... These things look like they might be related to reptiles. He opens the bag and lets the smell waft towards the beast. "You like that smell? Do you? You want some?" He says as he tries to get the creatures animal instinct to take over. Then he grabs a few bits of it and throws it just past the fishmen onto the stairs. "Go get it boy! Go get it!" He throws a few more.
OOC:
Can I do an animal handling roll for this?

Thanks for the highlight! :D
I definitely had fun with that post. Until my next post when I rolled a 100 on that animal handling... Sad times...

But I remember getting off that island alive, which was nice!

Hehe. He was a zookeeper, specifically for the reptile exhibit. I just wanted to throw some weird items in his bag, you never know when they'll come in handy.
