Turn 3I ask for some armor and/or Battleaxe, so to effectively kill the Evil that is chicken.
Once that is done, I...wait, what is there left to do? Escape the room? Oh, well. Chop open the wall then.
(4) Feeling fine again, you get up from your attempted meditation and walk over to the sphere that has been handing out equipment to everyone. You ask MAL for some sturdy armor and a battleaxe.
MAL 8000: REQUESTS CONFIRMED GREEN GOBLIN. DISPENSING ARMAMENTS.The abyssal storage once again opens and ejects a set of armor and a large double-sided axe. At a closer look, the armor seems to be a plated mail, similar to that of Thale. The axe appears to be an ordinary, yet very sturdy battleaxe.
Begin reading the grimoire with all the technique of a friendly necromancer
(4) Not wanting to wait with becoming the world's friendliest neromancer, you start your training in the dark arts by opening the book. Holding it in your skeletal hands, you can feel the book oozing with power. You feel as though the demon face on the front of it were almost looking into your soul. After a short stare battle with the book, which it won, you open it to the first page to find that it is ... blank. Huh. You continue to flip through it, but every page in it seems to be completely white. You ponder whether you might have to do something specific in order to delve into its secrets.
"Scree!" 'You idiotic- This is no good for the amplifying of my powers! Where am I!?!'
Attempt to discern location and/or leave.
(5) Angered by the insolence of that foolish machine, your mind begins to subconsciously emit your thoughts. Fueled by your anger, you accidentally contact things-that-should-not-be from eldritch dimensions. You send your message through your mind. "Scree!" you exclaim as your question travels through the void: 'You idiotic- This is no good for the amplifying of my powers! Where am I!?!'. Suddenly you hear a loud voice booming in your head.
?????:You dare to speak to me? You must a be a brave creature indeed. I have heard your voice, so now you will hear me as well. Become a champion of my will and you will be rewarded greatly. As for your current position, that will answer itself shortly.Just as you are about to ask what it means, you are blinded by something.
Bash the wooden wall with my warhammer.
(2) Immediately wanting to try out your new toy, you decide to test its power by breaking down one of the walls. You bring the hammer behind yourself, getting ready to swing it overhead. With full force you bring the hammer down on the wall and ... fail to put even a scratch on it. While wondering what the hell the wall is made of, a sharp light suddenly catches your view.
Seemingly satisfied with his acquisitions, Thale tests his movements for some time to analyze the results obtained with the armor. He then takes a short walk around the room, analyzing it and avoiding looking at the nekomimi for some time until he is sure there is fur censorship protecting her body.
Discern a way of leaving the room.
(3) After making absolutely sure that the cat lady is covered up in at least some way, you test out your armor. It seems to restrict your moving a bit, making you think that it probably wouldn't be easy to get out of harm's way, though you're not sure why you would need to anyways as the armor can take quite the beating. Afterwards you want to start looking for a way out, but a sudden glow catches your attention.
Get a toolkit and a shirt that says "I <3 Candy"
(4) You walk up to the sphere and, being the dwarf you are, ask for some tools. Also for a "I <3 Candy" shirt, because ... you just really like candy. MAL throws out both items without saying a word, which makes you wonder, as he seems to have been so talkative before. The tools thrown out are arranged in a small toolbelt, just the right size to fit around your waist. Of course your pink, yes pink, "I <3 Candy" shirt is there, too. Though it probably doesn't do much beyond showing everyone your love for sugary goodness. While you're occupying yourself with your new equipment, MAL suddenly interrupts you.
MAL 8000: ATTENTION. ATTENTION. EQUIPMENT TIME HAS RUN OUT. PHASE 1 HAS BEEN COMPLETED. PHASE 3 INITIALIZING. NOTE: DO NOT ASK ABOUT PHASE 2.Just as you are about to ask about phase 2 anyways, MAL's sphere suddenly emits an intense light.
______________________________________
The party is blinded by the light rays from the sphere, when it suddenly disappears. And the sphere with it. As you look around, the room is now completely empty. Wondering what will happen next, the room suddenly starts rumbling. Struggling to hold yourselves up, you notice a severe absence of ceiling. Nearly instantly, the walls start to fold into each other and then under the floor. You find yourselves on a platform, staring into the eternal void. Suddenly the ground gives way and you start falling. Looking around you see nothing but darkness and your team mates dropping down with you. When it appears that you would fall eternally, you see ground approaching quickly and ...
CRASH!As the group slowly awakens, it becomes apparent that they seem to be on a round platform in the crown of a large tree. No one seems to be injured as the branches and leaves seem to have caught your fall. Looking around, you the beginning of a spiral staircase, presumably leading down the tree.

Sorry that that took so long, tomorrow is my birthday so we had a party today. Also, I'm sorry to say that this early in, but I may be unable to update for about a week as I might be driving to Florida tomorrow, where we probably won't have an internet connection.
