You shoot the imp for [(1d5)d5  = 2d5 = (4-1)+(1-1) = 3 + 1 = 4] damage. The imp rushes in at you, with his claws on fire. The imp flameclaws you for [8+3] damage!

And if you had been wearing armor, I'd get to explain how a Flameclaw attack is different from a normal claw attack (armor takes extra damage from Flameclaw, Acidclaw, and Plasmaclaw attacks, though I don't think that last one will actually appear in-game.)

...Plasmaclaw attacks...
I am now imagining being punched with some plasma.

You shoot the imp with your shotgun. You hit for [1d5d5 = 5d5 = (1-1)+(4-1)+(3-1)+(2-1)+(3-1) = 1+3+2+1+2 = 9] damage. The imp is blown away!

I've decided to start naming the rooms. Also, you did level up at some point during this exchange, I just didn't remember to apply it until now. Next level is at 425 EXP

Max HP increases, and there's a slim chance that you'll get a natural increase to your armor rating/base damage.

FIND MANUAL OVERRIDE LEVER
PULL IT

What are Over Points?

I think it's explained in the opening post's shiny new information section, but if it's not I'll post it again. Over Points are gained from dealing more damage to an enemy than is required to kill them, and they increase the potency of your healing items. For example, a Stimpack normally heals 10 HP, but with your current number of Over Points using a Stimpack now would recover 28 HP instead.



You return to the Manual OVerride lever. You pull it, but the lever fights you and tries to return to its normal position. You see a red light go green, and a green light go red. You hear a rumbling sound.

You're in override room B already; override room A was the room with the barrels.

Namong these "Overkill Points" might make it clearer where these come from. Just sayin'.

TAKE OFF RUINED HEAVY ARMOR
PUT ON STANDARD-ISSUE ARMOR
USE DESTROYED ARMOR TO PREVENT THE LEVER FROM RETURNING

(Some belts, straps or similar things?)

You release the lever, which snaps into place. Some steam is vented. You remove your armor. You put on some armor.

You attempt to rig the lever to stay open using your ruined armor. Unfortunately, the armor is in no condition to be stopping anything.

"Hmm, something is amiss here. Maybe the steam pressure is fighting against me? There was a sign for the vents somewhere behind."

PROCEED TO STEAM VENTS CAUTIOUSLY (which means, stop at unexplored and look around)

Or maybe you need a rope?

You investigate the steam vents. They appear to be a one-way trip for you, one you won't survive. From the sound of things, they're currently closed - and from what you saw just a moment ago, they're only open when the Steam Outflow Override lever is being pulled. Although why you would want to go in them is a mystery. Perhaps you meant to explore the Water Flow system instead?

(I was actually thinking it's a room of some sort that contains steam vents, and there's something to do there)
