NAME OF CLASS: Home Freakonomics 151 - Unhallowed Chef
PROFESSOR NAME: Dusk


Background: The Home Freakonomics room is large and tiled with linoleum, checkered (of course) in orange and black. There are numerous tables that seat four students a piece, clustered in the middle, and a row of washing machines and dryers behind an alcove. Along the outside of the room there are kitchenettes -- with cabinets under the counter-tops as well as overhead, two stacked ovens, a stove-top, a microwave, a dishwasher, and a sink. There are refrigerators spaced evenly between each kitchenette, stocked to the brim with the most...interesting of ingredients. In the cabinets below, there are pots and pans. In the cabinets above, there are dried goods and spices, and probably a few moths.

Okay. Definitely a few moths.

Nevertheless, it's clear: Professor Dusk deeply cares for his classroom, and he extends that care to the students. He wants to show you the world, boils and ghouls. A world beyond microwavable Gross Pockets and Instant Noodles, Brain Flavored. He wants to make sure that you can put your uniforms and clothes back together, and clean them sufficiently, too. How to do basic repairs upon your dwellings and general upkeep of the home.

He is, quite frankly...a homebody looking for something to do. And he's glad to do it, and is glad to see YOU on this fine day of class!

Because YOU? YOU are going to be testing your skills against the other boils and ghouls in class. What better way to assess your potential besides a Culinary Battle Royale?

There will be sentient ovens. There will be live prey! There will be excitement and adventure inside our walls, whether anyone likes it or not. If you're all done mingling now, I'd like to review today's course with you. If you'd be so kind as to sit down and get out your copy of The OmNomNomicon...and remember...it has a mind of its own.

Phase 0


First thing's first. It is every student for themselves: I will not bar you from forming alliances, but there is little benefit gained from playing fair. I thoroughly encourage you to try to foil others at every turn, and to protect your dishes with everything you've got.

There will be no maximum number of winners of this Unhallowed Chef competition. Anyone who completes the course will earn a passing grade...but the best dishes will be given extra marks.

However, before we start the war, I'd like you each to work on a quick assessment test for me-- I will be using the completed tests to also take attendance for the day, so it IS vital that you complete it. I mean, that's assuming you want credit for being here.

If you don't want it...just get out.

...

Good.

Now. The rest of you. Feel free to come to my desk and take one of the forms I've printed out for you.

Culinary Assessment Test
This is a basic test that requires students to complete tasks around the kitchen -- the appliances and utensils are charmed to spit out a number after they're done grading you.

This holds NO BEARING on the rest of the class. As Professor Dusk said, it's basically glorified attendance!

To get your student's scores, roll 3 D4. Please play out the results-- you don't need to be detailed.

1 means they are absolutely hopeless in the given category.
2 means that they're average.
3 means that they're average.
4 means that they're pretty much a natural at this.

In order, the numbers in the sequence correspond to:
Knifery - Julienne a vegetable of your choice. If you succeed, they will be thin, even slices. If you do not...it'll be in ragged chunks and haphazard.
Baking - There's cake batter in a pan already-- put it in the oven, watch it till it's done. For god's sake...don't burn it. Please. I know better than to ask: but PLEASE.
Frying - There are earthworms in a measuring cup next to some Mandrake Oil. Get to making some fries, my friend, but they probably aren't the French variety. Don't undercook them-- I don't want them ALIVE, for Jack's sake.

[b]Preferred Name:[/b]
[b]Faction:[/b]

[b]Knifery:[/b] Score here
[b]Baking:[/b] Score here
[b]Frying:[/b] Score here


If your student is normally better or worse than their results, feel free to RP them miraculously succeeding or hard failing. OR....

exclaim IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR STUDENT TO CHEAT exclaim

If your character got a 1, and you'd rather they say they got better...well.

Cheating is always an option...but, you have to take your luck with Dusk's vision. Roll1 D20 for however many answers you want to fib about. If you get above a 14 each time, you manage to cheat successfully.

If you get any below a 14? Welp. Enjoy your scores of 1 for every category...plus? See me after class. I hope you didn't think getting off was going to be that easy, did you?

Phase 1 - Appetizer


Once you're done with your assessment, come place it on my desk. From there, you'll be consulting your The OmNomNomicon, gathering your ingredients, and making your first course.

Are you ready?

No?

Well, isn't that a pity. Go.

The OmNomNomicon

First, you need to make sure that your textbook agrees to work with you! Roll 1d10.

1: It snaps around your hand, slavering. Apparently, it's decided you're delicious. ...Roll again.
2-5: Success! Turn to the page with Appetizer 1!.
6: It stares at you, refusing. You better ask it again, and NICER this time. Roll again.
7-10: You manage to locate Appetizer 2 between the sticky pages. Oh, Jack, why are they sticky?


exclaim Every student starts out with 15 points.
Every time they fail, remove one point from their score.
Roll until you succeed!
exclaim


Appetizer 2 - Molded Mozzarella Sticks

Step 1: Gather your ingredients! Roll 1d6. 3 or higher is a success!
Step 2: Coat old mozzarella in mold, roll 1d10. If you get an even, you just gagged on how awful it is. Try again!
Step 3: Place in oven. Roll 1d6. If you roll higher than a 2 (2 does not count) then you didn't burn them!


Appetizer 3 - Deviled Cockatrice Eggs

Step 1: Gather your ingredients! Roll 1d6. Odd is success, even is failure.
Step 2: Boil the eggs! Roll 1d10. If you got an odd number, they're not yet! Try again!
Step 3: Garnish with newt eyes. Roll 1d6. If it's a 1 or a 6, you dropped the jar. Try again!

Phase 2 - Main Course


Now that the finger foods are out of the way, it's time to get on to the meat of the course.

The Mothman looked very pleased with himself at this.

...Too pleased.

The OmNomNomicon

Once more, you'll need to ensure the OmnNomNomicon wants to cooperate with you. Roll 2d10.

If EITHER number is EXACTLY 10: Let us...not talk about it. Subtract 1 point from your total points for this course and roll again.
If both numbers are LESS than 10: The textbook falls open! You may pick one of the courses below!
If both the numbers are GREATER than 10: You best roll again, lest it demand a blood sacrifice of YOUR blood.




exclaim Every student starts out with 25 points.
Every time they fail, remove one point from their score.
Roll until you succeed!
exclaim


Main Course 1 - Steamed Pom Buns

Roll 4d4.
If you're a ghost, this happens to be a favorite! Among who...no one knows. +2 points!
First die: Anything but 1 means you catch the Pom!
Second die: If it's odd, you succeed in ... "the preparation" !
Last two dice: If the total is higher than 3, congrats, they came out okay!


Main Course 2 - Deep Fried Lunar Kirinni

If you're a reaper or a demon, this recipe has been circulated around. +2 points!
Roll 2d12.
First die: Catch the kirinni! If it's higher than 8, it managed to get away. Try again.
Second die: As long as it's anything but 12, you manage not to burn yourself or your dish.


Main Course 3 - Six Alarm Spectral Scareon Chili

If you're a monster or an undead, this is more your style. +2 points!
Roll 3d8.
First die: If it's odd, you succeed in catching the Scareon!
Second die: If it's lower than 6, you manage to season it appropriately.
Last two dice: As long as neither are 1 or 8, you scorch it enough!

Phase 3 - Dessert


I want something sweet, so please, you better deliver.

Specifically? I want a treat.

emotion_dowant

The OmNomNomicon

By this time, you have earned The OmNomNomicon's trust! You do not need to roll for anything, and may pick anything from its rather copious desserts section!


You may MAKE UP any dessert as long as it involves TREATS.



Treats Galore

No dice rolls required-- please make a mock recipe for me! Points will be given as long as you have the following:
Ingredient list - 3 points
List of steps - 3 points
Reaction to the cooking - 4 points




OPTING OUT

IF YOUR STUDENT WOULD LIKE TO OPT OUT DUE TO MORALS!


Never fear! Dusk is a reasonable man. You simply must...convince him that your plight is worthwhile.

Roll 1d100 until you get a 91-100. emotion_awesome

Please RP your persuasion with each roll. If you succeed, unfortunately, you'll lose all points for this phase!
