You stand on the bowl as you struggle to pull yourself up. On top of the window sil, a large spider rushes your face. In a fear response, you land in the bowl and fall back against the stall door, causing 10 points of damage and lowering your charisma for 5 turns until the water dries off.
Pulling yourself up to the window, you look out into a dingy, dirty alley. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. Piles of trash, a clang of a metal can falling, the scurrying of small, dark creatures. Unremarkable. Perhaps, TOO unremarkable?
Your guilt stops you from going through with it, especially because of the neighbor’s dog which you dogsit occasionally. Who else buys it those fancy treats? (actually 5 more people in the building, but you don’t know that)
You hear a conversation outside the door, do you listen in?
The cat you hid away in your bag gets startled and scratches you. Why haven’t you learned not to do that yet? You got scratched last month doing the same thing.
You put the cat back in the bag and take it with you.
You find three new diseases.

I poke my head out the window

… That you know of
I mean, since you asked…

I’ve been through far too much recently. I decided to end it all. I kill myself.

I listen in
They start screaming very loudly. You stagger away from the door and it’s gonna take a minute to hear normally again.
You brought a bag earlier. Look in it?
I stick my face in the bag

Leave right away or tend to the wounds?
The bag was empty. But it successfully distracts you from the fact that the floor is now lava. You die, no save.
