A Strike in the Dark

A Strike in the Dark

While sneaking through the alley, you encounter a giant bowling ball. "HEY, YOU" it rumbles, improbably. "HAVE YOU SEEN ANY BOWLING PINS AROUND HERE?"

"Nope, can't say that I have," you reply.

"YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK KIND OF LIKE A BOWLING PIN, IF I SQUINT. MAYBE I SHOULD KNOCK YOU DOWN."

He rushes at you, but you jump aside at the last second. The bowling ball rolls into the gutter and gets stuck.

Moxious!

You gain 2 Chutzpah.

• A gutter is both the indentation between the asphalt and the sidewalk in a street and the channel in which bowling balls get stuck if thrown too far off the bowling lane.
