TheNabster: Apr 26, 2014; "Today I will cause problems on purpose"

Gonna say B, Sharpie is the hero here as the one who actually tamed the dreaded beasty.

That Large Turgid monster though, he's a big eater, he has potential!

1d100+4 = :siren:

A worthy disciple!

Of course it's both of them. True friendship such as this only comes along once an era, after all!

And as for godhood: Rolling to be a god!: 1d100+3 20 Seems unlikely!

The Lord of Hats: Aug 22, 2010; Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?

Clamp is great, but Sharpie needs the oomph to look after his bro.

Also, I can't be in this age, but that's not going to stop me from rolling and using up all the good results from Orokos:

C, because I can't vote for all three of them and there's a pretty good chance these two idiots just lucked out and aren't actually heroes at all. _{That won't stop them from claiming to be heroes and getting into all kinds of trouble in the future.}

Also, Metzli, God of Wanderlust has rolled a 94, which is currently the highest roll now!

For those unaware, bipartite gods in FGoS were sort of a god with their power split between two people. They probably won't be seen on the Middle.

Pick a color and combine any number of the dots with straight or curved lines. Don't worry about making it pretty at this point.

It's a weird-looking d10 (the 00 is a 10), both Clamp and Sharpie managed to become heroes despite the 10% chance.

Yeah. Option C succeeded. I didn't think to do the roll in orokos so I can't prove it but seriously. I didn't mean for two Heroes to come out of one CYOA. This was supposed to be bittersweet!

It's a percentile ten-die. A quirk of how those die works is that you use them together with an ordinary d10. A 00+0/10 result translates into 100, and that's what I thought we'd gotten!

Certainly. You can also have a +15 to your next god roll.

If I'm not mistaken that makes Scribbleykins a god with his roll of 80.
