Buffy says, "Woah! Let me get this straight. There is a demon living in Sunnydale who may or may not be in human form, and each time he flushes his toilet he's hoping to infect someone on the other end of the flush?" She scrunches her face and says, "Yuck...............How do we trace the pipes back to their origin?"

"We don't have to!" Willow answered. "You see, when the old guys who wrote this book were alive they didn't understand the concept of microbiology, viruses, bathing, and bacteria. So when they talk about corruption..."
Giles nodded. "They could be talking about any kind of infectious agent."
"And when you said antibiotics were working on Shawn..." Willow continued.
"Then it must be bacterial in nature," Giles finished the thought.
"Bingo! There are all sorts of deadly bacteria in sewers which is why they treat the water, so for an infection to be this acute..."
Xander nodded. "It must be fresh. Right from the source." His face melted into disgust. "Oh, geez..."
Willow took Xander's face as a confirmation. "Yep! To squirt out of the pipes like that it would have to be a fresh flush. The demon has to be in the school."
* * * * *
MEANWHILE...
FLUSH!
The door to the stall opened and out stepped a middle aged man carrying a briefcase. He dabbed at his sweating face with the arm of his threadbare tweed jacket, then grabbed at his wide rimmed glasses before they could slide down his face. He moved towards the door of the bathroom. He stopped. He rolled his eyes.
"Oh, mercy me!" he grumbled before turning back to reach for a facet. He placed the briefcase on the ground. It promptly tipped over. With a quick wash of his hands, he quickly ripped out a few pieces of paper towel from the dispenser and roughly toweled his hands before tossing the wad on the floor. He hustled out the door.
The briefcase, forgotten, lay sadly upon the floor.
The door to the bathroom flew open again, and the middle aged man hustled back into the bathroom to reclaim his forgotten property. Briefcase back in hand, he hustled out of the bathroom and down the hall until he came to a specific door.
Room 132. Physics. He threw open the door.
"I'm sorry that I'm late," the hustling man said as he moved towards the desk at the head of the room. He dropped the briefcase unceremoniously upon the desk. He wiped his face again. "I haven't adjusted to the kind of food you people eat. Does anyone have a bottle of water, by any chance?"
A group of students occupied the room in various states of rest, some sitting in the chairs at the desks while other sat atop the desks. Still other leaned against them and some stood. One paced impatiently across the back of the room. He ran his finger across a table of elements chart.
"Tinkledorf has to tinkle," someone said.
The students chuckled.
"Tinkledorf" placed his hands on his hips. "Now that is just uncalled for! One day you will likely develop prostate issues too, young man. It's a statistical fact."
"I do, Mr. Dinkledorf," a young woman wearing glasses said. She handed a bottle of water to the teacher.
Dinkledorf smiled. "Thank you, Katie. Now, let's get started! The science fair begins next week-this is supposed to be the week all potential entrants work on their projects-but we do not yet have a single entrant. Does anyone have any ideas what we can do to reverse this?"
A student, a young man in a black T-shirt and a goatee, raised a hand.
Dinkledorf pointed to him. "Yes, Dale!"
"Why are we here, sir?" Dale asked.
"You are last's years entrants. Katie here won first prize." Dinkledorf smiled at Katie. She smiled back.
"I gotta say, Dingledorf..." said the young man pacing at the back of the room.
"Dinkledorf," the teacher corrected.
"Dinkledoof..." the young man replied.
Dinkledorf rubbed his brow in frustration. "Dinkledorf."
"Whatever! I gotta say, teach, when I signed up for the science fair last year, I didn't think I'd be married to it for life."
"You're not 'married' to the science fair, I just need reliable students I can trust to help me solve this problem, and there is no one I can trust more than students who made the effort to be there last year." Dinkledorf took a sip of water from the bottle.
"You mean like Dale and his baking soda volcano?"
Dale turned in his desk. "Hey, it took me all week to build that paper mache sculpture."
"It didn't even erupt! You had to poor chocolate syrup down the side of the mountain."
Dale crossed his arms. "I worked hard..."
Dinkledorf raised his hands. "Now, class! Settle down!"
"This isn't a class. It's spring break."
Dinkledorf waved his hands. "Class!"
"You said our grades are on the line. That we had no choice but to show up!"
"Class!" Dinkledorf yelled again. He suddenly doubled over. His face twisted in pain.
"I had to skip my family's vacation to be here."
"You didn't want to go on that vacation..."
"Yeah, but I didn't want to be at the school, either."
Dinkledorf's stomach gurgled. Sweat beaded on his brow.
"Are you okay, sir?" Katie asked.
Dinkledorf nodded. "Yep! Fine! Just a little..."
An enormous fart tore through the room.
The class burst out laughing.
"Oh, hell, teach! You nearly blew a hole through the wall with that one!"
"You weren't kidding about not adjusting! What did you eat this morning? A truck full of tacos?"
But Katie was amused by the outburst. A worried look crept onto her face and as Dinkledorf reached up to cover his mouth while his other hand motioned for the students to calm down.
"It's just...just...my irritable bowel," Dinkledorf said through his covered mouth. "Not worry! I just need...my medicine. Katie, you mind...opening my briefcase?"
Katie continued to stare worriedly as she slowly reached for the briefcase.
Dinkledorf's eyes widened. His cheeks bulged.
The laughter in the room stopped. Those looks of mirth changed to horror. And then the laughs became screams.
A noxious substances splattered across the door's window.

Buffy repeats, "In the school?" and continues, "Okay, no problem. So I'll take a walk around and check all the rooms for someone who looks a bit demon-ie."

"And we know it's in the school, because those men were just infected," Willow added.
"It might be best if we all go with you," Giles said. "Split up and search the school. The faster we identify this demon the quicker we can prevent a...toilet apocalypse."
The team gathered in the hall.
"Buffy and Willow, the pipes run most heavily beneath the northern side of the school, so it is more likely for the demon to be there at this time. You will search that section. I will check the teacher's lounge and offices. Xander, you will search the rest of the school."
Xander nodded. "Got it!" He spun on his foot to run, but slid to a halt a mere second later.
Principal Snyder had just turned a corner and was headed their way.
Xander threw himself into a classroom while Buffy and Willow sprinted towards the nearest corner. Giles looked around him for a way to go, but sighed and accepted his fate when it became obvious Snyder had spotted him.
"Rupert!" Snyder yelled.
Giles clasped his hands. He began working his fingers nervously. "Principal Snyder! What a surprise!"
"Don't 'what a surprise' me. I know what you and those trouble makers are up to," Snyder said.
Giles' mouth worked nervously for a moment. "Is that so?"
"Yes! You're cleaning that filth off the walls of my library."
Giles' brows furrowed in confusion. "Am I?"
"You better well be!" Synder shook his head slowly. "I'm disappointed in you, Rupert. Surely an experienced man such as yourself would know the signs."
"Well, biology isn't exactly my specialty."
"But you're human, aren't you? Are you telling me you've never eaten a bad crumpet in your time?"
Giles thought for a second. "There was that one time in Surrey...Mr. Snyder, whatever your concerns may be I can assure you that I will address them promptly."
"Will you? Because it looks to me like you're standing outside the library talking to me instead of cleaning the shit off the walls of my library."
Giles blinked. "I'm sorry, what?"
Buffy didn't hear the rest of this conversation. She watched Xander sneak out the other entrance to the classroom, then she took off.
MEANWHILE...
Cordelia stood outside the main entrance to school, a box of cleaning supplies in her hands. No longer did she swear the fur coat and fancy shoes that she wore earlier. Now she wore a simple baggy shirt, jeans, and a pair of unfashionable sneakers. Her hair was done up in a pony tail and wrapped in a dish towel.
"Xander," Cordelia said out loud to herself. She began pacing. "It is stinky. It is disgusting. It is utterly repulsive!" She shivered. "But! I know what you and Buffy do are for the sake of the world, and what kind of friend would I be-what kind of girl friend-if I abandoned you at the first sign of trouble." Her face twisted in disgust. "Too deferential. Xander! It's gross and I don't want anything to do with this, but I'll do it anyway because you're likely to get yourself slimed and I don't want a stinky boyfriend." She rolled her eyes. "No, that's too old me. Xander! I thought about it and realized all I needed was a change of clothes. Now I'm wearing only moderately expensive shoes." She thought for a moment. "Hm. That works."
Cordelia turned to face the school. As she walked up to the doors, she noticed the septic trucks parked in the distance. She stared at them curiously as she reached for the doors. The crewman were running into the parking lot and swarming one of the pickup trucks. Most jumped into the cab. They hammered on the roof of the truck as the driver hit the gas and sped away.
"That's weird," Cordelia remarked. She entered the school.

SUNNYDALE, NORTH WING
After quickly checking the lower floor, Buffy and Willow raced up the stairs to the upper floor where the chem and science labs were.
"I'll check the chem labs. You check this side," Willow suggested. This didn't seem like a bad idea and there wasn't any real reason to argue, so Buffy went along with Willow's direction.
**ON SEARCH CHECKS: This check is usually rolled to determine how effective a character's search is and whether or not they find anything of interest. One of the best ways to increase chances of success with Search checks is to be thorough: don't just say "I search the room!". Be specific. Search under the bed, behind the bookshelf, in the chest...don't just eye ball it.
Buffy didn't find anything upon checking the rooms on the opposite side of the hall. All were locked and there was no sign of them being used in the last few days.
"Uh...Buffy," Willow called.
Buffy turned to discover Willow standing at the far end of the hall. She stood next to an open door with her nose pinched. Buffy slowly approached the room. Her face immediately twisted in disgust.
The chem lab was splattered in goo. All over the walls, the floor, and even the ceiling.
"Ooh...Principal Snyder is so not going to like this," Willow said.

Buffy carefully enters the chem lab looking around for any people. She checks under the teacher's desk at the front of the room and any other place a person would be able to hide. She calls, "Is anyone in here....."
(Question: Are there any other doors off of the chem lab that don't lead to the hallway?)

Post by TG Barighm on Jul 24, 2022 19:02:03 GMT -5
Buffy searches the room, but she doesn't find anyone.
No, there are no other doors for this particular room.
"Buffy!" Willow called. She pointed at the floor.
Buffy followed Willow's pointed finger. It pointed at a series of footprints heading up the hall, towards the western wing of the school.

Post by samus on Jul 25, 2022 7:19:41 GMT -5
Buffy looks at Willow, then starts to follow the footprints. She says, "I'm guessing these are gonna lead us to where we need to be...."

Post by TG Barighm on Jul 25, 2022 13:20:06 GMT -5
Buffy followed the footprints, Willow following closely behind her. They don't have to go very far.
The footprints do fade after a dozen or so yards, but not before Buffy can hear the sound of retching. As they approach where the retching is coming from, the men's bathroom, the door suddenly opened.
"Mr. Dinkledorf!" Willow exclaimed.
Dinkledorf wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. "Yes? Oh, Ms. Rosenberg! What are you doing here? Have you come to help with the science fair?"
"Oh, gee, every day feels like a science fair to me," Willow replied. "A very gnarly, very weird science fair."
The physics teacher blinked. "What?"
**KNOW YOUR TRAITS!
DODGE: You can avoid attacks on rolls of 3; however, the player character must be aware of the attack to dodge them. Generally it's easier to Dodge while traveling light and without wearing heavy armour. You can increase the chance of Dodging attacks by "calling" a Dodge: so if you predict the giant will try to punch you, you get a bonus factor. Calls have to be specific though.
ARMOURED: When wearing heavy or highly protective armour, you're treated as "armoured". This means when enemies attack you, they take a negative factor on their attacks to hit you on 2. This "armoured" concept extends to other things such as "armoured" vs Poison, or "armoured" vs. Charm attacks. Generally, it means enemies have a harder time hitting you on rolls of 2.
STRONG: You gain a bonus factor on rolls of 2 for Strength checks. In additional, you deal 1 additional point of damage when rolling a natural 3 with certain heavier weapons, notably 2 handed weapons.
TOUGH: You gain a bonus factor on rolls of 2 for Tough checks or any event where you can "tough it out". In addition, you gain an additional 1 HP.
FAST: You run 4 ft. per second faster. Generally normal, healthy humans can move 10 ft/sec. Other creatures like birds or four legged creatures usually move at double that rate.
SMART: You immediately gain 4 Knowledge Traits.
WEALTHY: You begin the game with a large amount of money, or you have some consistent means of revenue generation.
LUCKY: You're lucky! You gain a bonus factor on rolls of 2 with regards to games of chance or overcoming an event where sheer randomness is in play.
SAINTLY: Healing spells restore an additional 1 HP when used on you. Creatures also sense your "holiness" in some way and will have an urge to like you, although evil creatures will seek to harm you. In addition, Saintly characters gain special means to harm evil creatures like undead or demons.
CHARISMATIC/CHARMING: People just like you, either because you're attractive or because you have some irresistible personality quirk. Bonus factor on rolls of two when determining if someone likes you or trying to befriend someone.
As you can see, there are a LOT of Defining Traits; however, most boil down to "bonus factor on 2" and maybe some other bonus. Spell Traits refer to Spells and each one has its own special rules governing them (casting Fire spells is quite different from casting Frost spells), but you don't have to worry about that right now.

Buffy says, “Well, Mr. Dinkledorf, what Willow really means is……….Have you by any chance been flushing nightmarish substances down the toilet which have been infecting anyone who comes into contact with them, turning them into big gooey walking blobs?”

Dinkledorf stared in confusion.
"Buffy!" Willow exclaimed. She turned back to the teacher. "Well, have you?"
"Is this some sort of joke?" Dinkledorf asked. He began stomping away from them. "I'll have you know, irritable bowel syndrome is no laughing matter! It's not some joke for you kids to make fun of. Statistics state there is a darn good chance both of you girls will develop it at some point in your lifetime."
Willow nodded. "Could be fun having my own cotton candy army. I wonder if they can do musicals?"

"What kind of ridiculous question is that?" the physics teacher yelled. "Have you two been drinking? Doing drugs? Do I have to call your parents?"
"Mr. Dinkledorf, sir, your classroom looks like an entire party of girls have been drinking," Willow replied. "And I'm pretty sure they were eating Chinese."
"Just a bit of trouble with an experiment," Dinkledorf replied. He increased his pace, now practically jogging.

The teacher blinked. "They can't? Not even if they are really sick?"
Willow joined Buffy in blocking the teacher.
"No, and even then, that's far more than the human stomach can hold. And I'm pretty sure the only chemical mixture that can create a mess that big would require far more stuff than what the school labs have on hand," Willow added. Her head bobbed in thought. "Or a really big baking soda volcano, but I didn't see a paper mache volcano, now, did I?"
The teacher looked at Willow, then at Buffy, then back to Willow. Then Buffy again.
"You know she's the slayer, don't you?" Willow asked.
The physics teacher sighed. "Yes, I know, but...look, please don't tell anyone about this. I really need this job. You don't know what it's like in my world. It's terrible. The pay sucks, just the odd gem here and bit of flesh there, nobody ever gives me any respect, and the food is terrible. Seriously, have you ever had a taco? A hand full of heaven! Not that I've ever been to heaven, but I'll bet they have a taco truck at every corner. My irritable bowel can't really handle them, but what can I say? I can't get enough of the things."
"How does a compulsion demon get a job as a physics teacher?" Willow asked.
"Oh, well, you know...Know the right people, be in the right place at the right time, spend a few decades partying with students at Oxford...the mayor helped a lot."
Willow's eyes widened. "The mayor?"
"Yeah. Guess one of his ancestors sold his soul or something. I didn't really ask. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, am I right?"
Willow nodded. "Politician selling his soul...makes sense."

If you want to keep working at the school you can't very well keep accidentally turning students into goo monsters, can you?"

Dinkledorf stuffed his hands into his pockets. "No, I guess not."
"Isn't there someone you can see about your...problem?" Willow asked. "A demon doctor or medicine man or...you mom?"
"No, not really. My mom was eaten a couple centuries ago, pretty much the going rate for a decent education in my neck of the woods, and those demon doctors...whew! You think your doctors are bad. Ours accept nothing but souls, so pretty much only the demon princes get to see doctors. The rest of us just have to endure. Probably why so many of us are so crabby all the time."
"What about human doctors?"
The teacher shrugged. "Tried, but nothing you humans take seems to be strong enough for a demon."
"Maybe lay off the tacos?"
He barked a laugh. "Ha! No, I'm not giving up the best thing about the human world."

MEANWHILE...
"Hello?" Cordelia called as she stepped into the school's foyer.
It had not been long since Cordelia had been at the school, but what a difference a bit of time can make. When she had arrived earlier it felt like just your average day at the school...during spring break. But Cordelia's instincts had improved greatly since her first encounter with Sunnydale's darker elements, and those instincts currently manifested as a creepy feeling she couldn't quite put her finger on.
"Principal Snyder?" Cordelia called. He had been walking around earlier. Maybe a vampire got him?
"The vampire that ate Principal Snyder?" she called more meekly and with a squeaky voice.
The school didn't seem any different. The trophies were still arrayed in the trophy case as per usual-nobody noticed the spirit anchored to the one-and the principal's office was still near the doors. It was quiet, but it was bright and sunny. Many of the main corridor lights were active, and the floors were clean and glistening from the weekend clean up. It was hardly a dark and stormy night.
"I've been spending way too much time with Buffy," Cordelia muttered. She grabbed the rubber gloves from the box and stuck her hands into them. "Xander owes me SO BIG for this."
A student suddenly appeared in the opposite hall.
Cordelia stopped. Normally she wouldn't, but there shouldn't be anyone one else in the school, and the student was moving kind of funny.
"Hello?" she called. She moved closer to the student. "You're moving kind of funny. Do you need new shoes? I can give suggestions."
The student was a taller boy wearing a T-shirt and jeans. His face was darkened by something. He moved gingerly towards Cordelia.
That creepy feeling hit Cordelia right in the gut. She froze in place. The cleaning supplies fell to the floor.
"Um...no need to get any closer. I can see you just fine from here," Cordelia said.
The student drew closer. As it did, the muck on his face grew clearer. It was like mud had been splattered on his face, but it wasn't like any kind of mud Cordelia had seen before. This mud was all bubbly, and bright, pink bubbles expanded where the student's eyes were.
The boy held out his arms as if reaching out for Cordelia. A second later, a second student appeared, a girl, equally mud faced and covered with the strange substance.
"Yeah, sure! Here's a box of cleaners. Right here! Enjoy!" Cordelia said.
But it quickly became apparent that the muddy students weren't interested in the box of cleaning supplies.
Cordelia began backing away. She glanced over her shoulder in the library's direction.
"Um...Buffy! Xander!" she called.
And then the smell hit her, like wall of bricks assaulting her nose with all the force of every action movie explosion ever.
That is when she screamed.
* * *
A familiar scream echoed through the halls of the school.
Willow adopted a puzzled look. "Cordelia? She actually came back?"
Dinkledorf glanced at his watch. "Oh, look at the time! I should really get going."
"Now, hold on there, young man!" Willow said. "What exactly were you doing here during spring break, anyway?"
DIFFERENT KINDS OF TRAITS:
BASIC TRAITS: The simplest of defining traits. Being strong, being smart, being attractive...the kind of stuff you might just naturally have.
SKILLED TRAITS: Things that generally require training, or natural talent, to learn such as combat training, lock picking, survival skills, etc.
KNOWLEDGES: As explained before, these are things you just know. Usually tied to "book learning" type of things. These are tracked separately from Defining Traits.
SPELL TRAITS: Spells! Every spell generally has its own special rules attached to them and don't boil down to simple success rolls. Superpowers also tend to fall into this group.
SPECIAL TRAITS: There's a number of "special" traits in the rules. Things like Superpowers, Specializations, and the like, but these are special circumstances Traits that may only appear in games designed for them. For example, Superpowers would only apply in a superhero game.

Buffy says, "We need to see if Cordelia is okay.............and you're coming with us," she says to Dinkledorf. She grabs him by the upper arm and starts to push him down the hall towards the sound of the scream.......

Post by TG Barighm on Jul 29, 2022 19:38:45 GMT -5
Buffy grabbed the teacher's arm and tried to drag him away, but she is surprised when he doesn't budge.
Willow slowly began to backpedal. "Uh...Buffy..."
With his other hand, Dinkledorf removed his glasses and placed them in his shirt pocket. "I don't intend to go anywhere with you. Ms. Summers."
Willow pointed. "You DID have students in that room! And this has nothing to do with the science fair."
The teacher chuckled. "I should have known the 'poor little demon' act wouldn't fool you, Ms. Rosenberg. The blonde here, sure, but you? Well, I certainly have use for someone like you."
The arm that Buffy was gripping suddenly tore off, but it didn't just rip off, it shot off with force. Buffy was sent sliding down the hall a good 20 ft.
The physics teacher seemed utterly unconcerned with the gushing wound that was his ripped off arm. "I wish I could show you my true form. It's much easier when you can just look into a creature's eyes and they're instantly controlled. Oh, well...loopholes are loopholes for a reason."
Willow turned to run, but the other arm shot off like a bullet, pounding Willow in the back and forcing her to the ground.
STATUS LINE: This is the status line! It tells you of changing conditions, notably changes in HP or spell effects. Examples of things you would see here:
MR. DINKLEDORF, x1-9 HP --Creature names, usually in red to denote enemies, numbers of enemies, and HP loss
WILLOW, -1 HP, Floored-- --Character names, HP loss, changes in status like being knocked down, grappled, stunned, charmed, or even KO'd Inventory Update: --Changes to inventory such as picking up a new item or giving something to someone else, or even seeing items destroyed Group Effects: --Notable effects affecting the entire group such as being too dark to see, poisonous clouds, the entire team being dizzy, etc.

"Ew!" Willow responded. "There's slime on me!"
Buffy charged the demonic physics teacher, then leapt into the air, foot pointed at its face. Slayer foot met nerd face with glorious effect: the teacher's head burst like a bubble from the force spraying gook everywhere. Buffy's momentum carried her over the teacher's body and beyond, landing behind him and safely away from the bursting goop.
Apparently demons don't really need their heads because the demon turned to face her without so much as flinching. Before Buffy could do anything else, it's torso ripped open, like a hatch falling away, spilling a flood of guts and gore upon the floor and sending a way of goo Buffy's way. Buffy DODGES this by quickly backpedaling, jumping when the initial burst threatens to splash her. Buffy gets lucky and avoids slipping.

He hasn't turned into anything. More like he's falling apart before her eyes and doesn't seem to mind.
