They’ve always been a good friend to you. Roll a History Check and blast back to all those good times. Picking you up at the airport that one time (at 8am). Swooping in at that college party to rescue you from that dude’s neverending lecture about symbolism in the film Avatar (was there even symbolism in that movie? Allegory, maybe … Wait, maybe THIS is synecdoche!). Maybe they are lying about being busy. But does it really matter?
You know what? Being a good friend doesn’t necessarily mean owing someone manual labor. And maybe, just maybe, you’re old enough to suck it up and hire professional movers instead of paying off friends in pizza and belated favors. Roll a Wisdom Check. Your character just levelled up — emotionally.
The Secret Of The Swedish Fortress
You ordered a new set of drawers from IKEA. The website says it recommends two people when constructing it, but you’re pretty darn confident you can do it on your own. I mean, it’s just a set of drawers. From IKEA! It’s not rocket science. It’s RAWCKET SCYENNXE!
Sure, it took nearly every ounce of strength in you to even get the box up the stairs, but now you’re here, you’re confident, and you’re ready to assemble this thing TONIGHT! Maybe you’ll even transfer over all your clothes. And refold them in that new way Marie Kondo taught you! You are about to SEIZE LIFE! Roll a Strength check! But first you have to just (huff) stand the (huff) frame upright. Target number: 10.
Roll an Arcana check to try and decipher whatever ancient magic dwells in these runes. These crude drawings without captions must hide some deeper, secret meaning, some sort of Swedish incantation, perhaps. This smiling little blob fellow, holding a … is that a wrench, or one of their hands? Oh, no. This part is definitely screwed in upside down. Target number: 15.
They’re just drawers. You’ve seen drawers before! So what if the illustrations reveal very little, and the written instructions are brief. So what if there are arrows pointing seemingly nowhere. Drawers are drawers! You can use your brain and real-life knowledge of drawers to put this stupid thing together. Throw those instructions away and Roll an Insight check, you sweet, sweet fool.
Okay, so you have to use one hand to hold the shelf at a ninety-degree right angle, while using your other hand to slowly and precisely screw in a bolt using the world’s smallest, thinnest wrench, but need another hand to keep the console stable enough to screw the bolt into? Roll a Sleight of Hand check. Target number: 20. You should have called a friend.
No surprises here. You jammed your thumb and slammed your head on the inside of the half-constructed monstrosity. Roll a Medicine check and call it a night.
