Story:
(Terra)
I always knew the Enclave was corrupt, but this? I had never expected them to full on attack an entire mineshaft of people. It was unjust. They were unarmed, and unnecessary sacrifices. I saw Michael swing out his terra blade, and slice through a soldier's armor, cutting them in half. Almost without hesitation I pulled out a poison knife. A respectable Enclave EMT never leaves home without it. I jabbed it into the gap between the torso and the helmet of an Enclave soldier's power armor. I was not told about this. If I was, I would have attempted to hault this operation a long time ago. As usual, the medics knew little-to-nothing about anything the Enclave did. I trusted these people, and they were killing innocence. Only a few seconds in though, and the Enclave have identified me as a target. It wasn't long before the two people I just met ran off, and started heading to the Overseer's Office. I couldn't blame them. I followed close, but kept enough distance so they wouldn't shoot me if they thought I was any part of this. I chucked an EMP grenade at a group of Enclave soldiers, temporarily disabling their power armor so they couldn't move, and I could deliver the blow. A red beam flew above my head... ok, red beams were flying everywhere, but I wasn't stopping until I reached those other two. They were my ticket out of here, I just knew it.
Suddenly, I felt a push, and I was on the ground. I turned over, and the body of a soldier in power armor slammed down on me. I looked through the bug-eyed visor, and knew that those were the eyes of General Froth. He picked me up, binding his hands around my neck. 
General Froth:" Traitor! You know what happens to traitors." 
Matter of fact I did, but that wasn't going to happen. I used the moment he was monologing to my advantage. I kicked myself off the torso of his power armor, sending him staggering. I've never seen someone of his rank stagger. It was actually quite amusing. I then got a head start running to where I think was the stair to the Overseer's Office. This was menacing. It took all of my strength and rage not to cry. I headed up the stairs, and just as I thought, Michael and Charlie were standing face-to-face with the Overseer.
[Perception 7/1]
[Succeeded] I threw my knife, letting it fly passed Charlie and Michael, into the Overseer's chest.
(Michael)
Michael:" WHAT IS THIS!" 
I spat in the face of the Overseer. 
Michael:" YOU MONSTER!" 
He just stood in front of his window, smiling at the sight of hundreds dying below. He turned to me, an evil smile on his face. 
Overseer:" Don't you see? We are the superiority of the wasteland. The Enclave really is the best hope for mankind. Join us, and you'll see." 
I gritted my teeth, gripping my blade. 
Charlie:" So you're one of their undercover agents?" 
The Overseer grined. 
Overseer:" I always liked you two. You had always questioned my actions, but did what I asked anyways. Yes I admit it. I am the Enclave, pretending to be the Overseer of Mineshaft 8. But think about it, we can build a new world." 
My eyes narrowed.
Michael:" The only thing you're building is a one way portal to the Nether!" 
Just then, a knife, tipped with green, passed between me, and Charlie, hitting the Overseer. We watched as the smile on his face, turned to an expression of shock as he looked down at his chest, a poison knife deep inside his torso. He looked up at us, as me and Charlie exchanged confused looks at eachother.
Overseer:" Oh..."
He looked down at the poison throwing in his stomach.
Overseer:" This is... unfortunate." 
He then dropped to his knees, his eyes reaching behind his eyelids, and then the rest of his body hit the ground. The Overseer was finally dead. Me and Charlie looked over our shoulders to see Terra walking into the Overseer's office. I was confused. Was she not with them? Change of heart? Or maybe she didn't know about the whole operation the Enclave was planning, and didn't approve when she found out. 
Terra:" Come on." 
She grabbed the dagger she threw. 
Terra:" We need to evacuate everyone. Why aren't they heading for the exit?"
I recovered from my confusion. 
Michael:" The mineshaft exit has limited access. Only myself, or the Overseer can open it." 
She nodded. 
Terra:" Than we need to do that right now." 
I nodded firmly, heading over to the Overseer's microphone.
Michael:" Everyone, listen up! This is head of security, Michael Jones, I'm going to open the mineshaft door, I want everyone to head their now!"
I turned to Terra, who was also looting the Overseer's Terrain-Gadget. I had no qualms with that, but she was struggling to even get the darn thing on her wrist.
Michael:" Take these, put 'em on your feet." 
I handed Terra two golden horshoes as I headed for the ledge instead of taking the stairs.
Terra:" What are these for?" 
Michael: [Charisma 5/4]" We're jumping. Faster than taking the stairs, isn't it?"
[Charlie loved that]
[Terra hated that]
[One of your companions, or other players either approved of, or disliked something you said, or did. Companions or players around you will either grow comfortable with you, or uncomfortable based on your actions.]
[Succeeded] She looked at me funny, but trusted me anyways as the three of us jumped off the ledge. Did she not know what lucky horshoes can do? Apparenty not, as she screamed, even after we had all landed on our feet, unharmed. I put a hand on her shoulder. 
Michael:" You can open your eyes now." 
She did, and she found that she was on the ground. Even worse, the Enclave morons were blasting at us again. 
Terra:" We're talking about this later!" 
We ran as fast as we could to the mineshaft door, taking out any Enclave that got in our way. Once we reached the door, escorting any survivors, I plugged, pressed, and unplugged, and the door opened. While it was opening, me, Charlie, and Terra were pushing back the Enclave, making sure they don't follow us. We reached outside, and quickly closed the door, so they wouldn't follow, or wouldn't follow as close. Hopefully they would get stuck without my passcode, and leave us alone. They can't use the Overseer's Pip-Boy because he's now dead, and the passcode only exists on his Terrain-Gadget could only be accessed if the Overseer was alive, and Terra had his Pip-Boy, still unsure how to put it on. I'd have to teach her. Hopefully, that knife had actually killed him. It had to have killed him. I wasn't going to stick around to find out. 
Charlie:" So... where to now, Terrarian?" 
I looked into the wasteland. It was horrible, but I expected this. I had seen what's outside before. The Overseer allowed me to come out here whenever I wanted to think about something, as long as I stayed a short distance feom the mineshaft. I thought a lot, mostly because I didn't trust the Overseer. Looks like I was right. 
Michael:" Well... I've heard of a few nice places we could go." 
Of course I've heard from passing caravan before. I opened up the notes app on my Terra-Gadge, and opened up a file that was labeled "Civilized Main Settlements". 
I read the top three settlements. 
Michael:" Well, we can go to Redstone City, Lapis Town, or Amethyst Tower. Redstone City, I hear, is a great settlement if you want to build amazing redstone things, and they don't let in any Brotherhood of Steel, unless they have approved bussines. Lapis Town is an Orderly, but somewhat corrupt town, that strictly doesn't allow for Children of Ocram, raiders, Brotherhood of Steel, Clocktower synths, ghouls sane or feral, super mutants, or New Terraria Republic. They'll immediately execute anyone of the sort. However, they do allow slavers, slaves, and slave trade, so I highly don't suggest it. Amethyst Tower is a good place to settle down. It's a pre-war hotel, and it's a pacifist settlement, which allows civilians, raiders, mercanaries, gunners, and ghouls to stay only to rest and recover from the wasteland, but they have freaky good security, made entirely from the best troopers of the NTR, so it should be safe for the most part. It also has the comfiest bedrooms. But the best part is, the DJ from 'Terrain News Radio', Three Dog lives there, protected by the finest of New Terraria Republic rangers. I'd love to meet the guy. He's got a great voice, great news, great music, and everything." 
Terra and Charlie thought a moment, then Terra spoke up.
Terra:" I kinda think it's a good idea to head to Redstone City, mostly for the redstone, but also because Lapis Town doesn't allow for Enclave neither, and Amethyst Tower sounds pretty suicidal, no matter how good the security sounds." 
I looked at Charlie, and he spoke up. 
Charlie:" Welp, I think we should head to Amethyst Tower, considering it does have the best security in the Terrarian wasteland of Terracraftia, and if Three Dog is there... well he's got one of the best radio channels out there. Who wouldn't wanna meet the guy? Also, comfy beds." 
They both made good points. I would have to think really hard about this. I checked my Pip-Boy again, and read the fourth option in my head. Cubington High School. According to the notes, the pre-war school was once infested with feral ghouls after Ocram's cloud, but it was cleared out by NTR forces, and is currently being used as a school and a home for teenagers who are learning about the history of the New Terraria Republic, hoping to be the next member of the NTR.
[You have reached a point in the story where you have to make a very big decision. The decision you make will affect the story. It is recommended you ask your audience which path you should choose. If they take too long, you will have to answer for yourself by rolling.]
Choices:
a.) Redstone City -Redstone galore ~role 1-5
b.) Lapis Town -Orderly, but somewhat corrupt ~role 6-10
c.) Amethyst Tower -Highly secure pacifist settlement ~role 11-15
d.) Cubington high school -School for students of the New Terraria Republic ~role 16-20
[Final decision: Amethyst Tower]
I decided we were going to Amethyst Tower. The map on my Terrain-Gadget had me guessing a whole day trip, that is if we refrain from stopping for the night, which was not going to happen. I was tired, I only got, at the most, fifty people out of the mineshaft, alive, and it was a longer walk than I was used to. 
Michael:" We're headed to Amethyst. I estimate, a day walk, but we're going to rest during the night. If we scavange any food, we'll have to ration it." 
Big guy just shrugged. 
Charlie:" Alright then, let's go." 
We started going, careful to avoid a nest of sleeping feral ghouls. I had nothing against sane ghouls. As a matter of fact, I like them. They got stories of what actually happened before this great war between the Moon Lord and the Golem. Few people actually know this, but it wasn't the Moon Lord and his Lunatics who started the war. It was Ocram, and his lies. He double ganged with both sides, feeding them false information that sparked the war. 
Truth be told, the Moon Lord always wanted to see anarky, however, his people, the Lunatics, were against chaos. That is until an organization, called the Clocktower, created synthetic beings, or synths, and used them to attack a peaceful Lunatic settlement, named Moonstone City, for target practice. After this, the Moon Lord gave his people an excuse to attack humans. They blamed humans for their reckless behavior in making machines. The way I here it, before Lunatic power armor was invented, the Lunatics hated technology, and the things we as people used it for. Night time was approaching. Terra spotted a small old soda and desert shop called "Maan Boosters". We decided to stay there for the night. 
Everyone decided to take what they could. Me, I found a stash of something called "Terra Cakes". They were these huge brownies, with green frosting on top, and a small cookie in the shape of a tree on top of the frosting. I tore the package open, already smelling the sweet treat. When I bit down, I was simply in heavin. It was still pretty good for over 200 years.
Michael:" Charlie! Charlie you gotta try this, it's amazing!" 
He came over. 
Charlie:" Didn't your mom tell not to talk with your mouth full?" 
He said this with a playful smirking. He took one of the sweet brownies, tore the package, and bit down on it. He bobbed his head, indicating that he liked it just as much as I did. 
Terra:" You guys do relize that's unhealthy, right? And not just because it's all irradiated." 
Michael: [Charisma 8/10]" You do realize that it's still edible though, right?"
[Failed] She just put her hand on her hip, and shook her head. It was clear that her "medical instincts", or whatever, didn't agree, and she wasn't going to be trying it anytime soon. I opened a soda machine, and took out one of the best soda drinks Terracraftia has ever given people... Creepa Cola! It's basically a soda named after one of the most feared creatures in the world, the creeper. From what I knew, there was also, Creepa Strawberry, and Creepa Cola Charged. There were also other cool sodas to, like Ender Dew, which would usually make you more charismatic, Wither Mist, which would make you more endurant, and Pigman, which could made a man much stronger. However, there is a spicyness to Pigman, and it could make anyone who couldn't handle it go crazy. That of course, was why it was called "Pigman", because zombie pigmen come from the Nether, and Nether is hot as the devil's trident. As I chugged the bottle of soda, there was a small sparkle in the corner of my eye. A mirror. It aslo looked clean, like it hadn't been over 200 years old. I picked up the round mirror by it's frame, and gazed into of it. Everything went white.
