((That seems like a very good choice to me. You should come back when you found a way to flood the dungeon/cave with burning canes of death.))

Samucane will do the improbable. The unknown. The crazy. He's going to FLY THE HELL OUT OF THERE, BECAUSE SCREW FIGHTING ANYTHING WITH A NATURAL +3 TO...EVERYTHING. Maybe hide behind the sister?

((You see why I died, now?))

Inside the Nabpie Tomb...

Samucane decides that this fight is best left screwed along with any fights like it! It attempts to escape!

[Magic roll: 2+1]

It drags itself deeper into the darkness of the tomb, the other way having collapsed!

[Nabpie reaction roll: 5]

The Nabpie has had enough of the cane's shenanigans, obviously, and chooses to look for its friends instead of getting into another fight!

Samucane drags itself deeper and deeper... most of the tomb seems to be a single long corridor with side burial chambers! But where does the corridor lead?

[Encounter roll: 1]

Two more Nabpies comes out of a nearby side chamber looking for trouble!

[Nabpie 1 vs. Glowcanes: 1+3 vs. 1+1]
[Nabpie 2 vs. Glowcanes: 5+3 vs. 4+1]

They eat all but one glowcane! Dammit, what's a cane to do in this unfriendly atmosphere? Can't go down a single corridor without running into several dozen horrible ghouls!


Meanwhile on a roof in Dielnin...

Mike looks for somebody walking around with a potion!

[Victim roll: 3]

There appears to be fellow hiding something walking nervously down a street! It might be a potion he's holding!

[Spirit Telekinesis roll: 1]

Mike concentrates and strains! He manages to mangle the fellow's right leg! The poor schmuck falls on his hip and there is a sound of breaking glass! So it was a potion! Too bad it's wasted now.

[Potion roll: 2]

"My plague cure! No! Now my child will die! Why, gods, why!"

Harry, you're just cheating to kill me now, I know it.

Samuel will un-cane his molecules, then re-appear by the sister! A la, re-materialize. Molecules move very fast, right?

I don't care if this goes bad! I AM UPSET.

((Guess i just killed somebody, eh? Oh, and if i were you, i'd try digging my way out with magical canes. Instead of a nearly guaranteed death.))
Mike will make the poor sod drink the spilled potion remains, to see if it's actually a cure disease potion, and not, say, a gibbing poison.

Inside the Tomb of the Nabpies...

Samucane tries to perform the ancient miracle of cane-a-portation by uncaning its molecules!

[Magic roll: 1+1]

Whatever uncaning its molecules even means, Samucane is sort of secretly glad it couldn't do it! Who knows what crazy things could have happened to it! Magic's weird that way, Samucane finds.

[Nabpie 1 vs. Glowcane: 6+3 vs. 4]

One of the Nabpies slashes the cane to tiny little bits! If Samucane could gulp, it would!

[Nabpie reaction roll: 6]

"Oo-ooh, thi-is wi-ill ma-ake a pe-erfect ta-able le-eg!"

One Nabpie grabs Samucane and takes it to a side chamber! A rather lopsided wooden table stands in it!

[Nabpie craftsmanship roll: 2]

"O-oh de-ear. I-it see-eems li-ike I wa-as a bi-it too qui-ick the-ere! I actually ha-ave no ide-ea about ho-ow ca-arpentry i-is do-one!"

[Nabpie idea roll: 6]

"Be-etter a-ask Bo-ob! He-e kno-ows! No-ow, yo-ou ju-ust wait he-ere, little ca-ane, I wi-ill be ba-ack in an ho-our!"

The Nabpie leaves! Thank Velusius for that.


On a roof overlooking disaster...

Mike tries to make the fellow lap up the potion from the ground!

[Telekinesis roll: 1]

He manages to roll him around in the broken glass for a bit! Eventually the fellow stops screaming. He also stops moving as well.

Samucane will fly the hell away! Let's get out of here! If that rubble is still blocking the way, make a cane golem and tell it to clear the...well, rubble!

"Aww..."
Mike will try to find another subject and make him drink a potion too!

Inside the Nabpie Tomb...

Samucane tries to get away from this blasted tomb! Only death awaits it here! It attempts to fly out!

[Magic roll: 1+1]

It remains rooted in place! Maybe it can make a cane golem to carry it out?

[Magic roll: 5+1]

He makes a bunch of really mighty-looking magical canes that are also on magical cane-fire!

[Golem shaping roll: 3]

This golem, however, is a lot more malformed than the previous one! Well, at least it still has cane-hands!

[Golem navigation roll: 5]

The golem easily picks Samucane up and proceeds to drag itself over to the rubble-covered passage with its cane-hands!

[Encounter roll: 5]

And what's more surprising, the Nabpies don't even seem to mind! They get to the rubble without incident! Samucane proceeds to order its minion to clear the rubble!

[Rubble clearing roll: 1]

It punches the rubble with tremendous force!

[Tomb structural integrity roll: 2]

The ceiling begins to crumble once again! A lot of rubble begins to fall from the ceiling!

[Samucane magic roll: 3+1]

Samucane barely manages to magically pull itself out of the room in time!

[Golem agility roll: 6-1]

The golem propels itself out of the room as well, landing perfectly right beside Samuel! The room, however, is totally collapsed now under a mountain of dirt and rubble. Looks like Samucane will have to look for another way out!


On the roof overlooking a lot of terrible carnage...

Mike looks for other schmucks with potions!

[Search roll: 1]

He sees a guy with a great big metal jug walking around! Potions ahoy!

[Telekinesis roll: 6]

He manipulates the man into opening the bottle, the overdone motions twisting and breaking all of his limbs! The man screams very much like you'd expect a spontaneously mutilated fellow to scream, which is to say a lot! The bottle is open, and Mike makes the man smash it into his own face!

Uh oh. Something bad is happening.

Bright light spills out from the bottle accompanied with a horrible shriek!

[Man will roll: 4]

The man screams and bangs his head against the ground! A stream of light is turned away from his head! Instead, it streams to the next thing visible to it - Mike!

[Mike will roll: 1]

Mike suddenly finds himself even more shapeless and bodiless, just a vague presence in the air! He is shocked to see another Mike standing right where he used to be! Wait a minute, that is Mike! It's just that the real Mike is no longer the real Mike! The fake Mike is now the real Mike! The real Mike, on the other hand, is now just a tiny speck of light hanging around next to the new real Mike!

The New Real Mike turns to the Old Real Mike!

"Have fun in the bottle, chump!"

"What?"

[Bottle pull roll: 6]

The old real Mike instantly finds himself inside an endless dark expanse! Around him are many specks of light much like himself!

"New guy, eh? Welcome to the Soul Jar. At least Dick's gone now. That's good news."

[Dickmike telekinesis roll: 4]

Mike sees something close up above him! Dammit, whoever controls his body now stopped the jug with a cork! Now how is he supposed to get out?

Sam will conjure miniature floating cane "Scouts", and tell (Order? Command? Program?) them to search for any airflows, and then report back!

"Oh, hello. What in hell is this place? And who are you?"
Ask other (ghost?) guy about what the fuck is going on.

In the Nabpie Tomb...

Samucane tries to create a dependable army of cane-scouts to serve its exploration-based needs!

[Magic roll: 1+1]

It summons average ordinary canes. They're not sentient or, for that matter, animated. Glorious.


Inside a jug of souls...

Mike decides to open with a greeting!

"Oh, hello!"

"Hi."

"What in the hell is this place?"

"Soul Jar. Told you already. Lots of souls in it, hence the name. You're the newest member. You're also trapped forever. Cool, isn't it?"

"And who are you?"

"Ted."

"Ted who?"

"Ted is what you can call me. The rest means nothing."

"How long have you been here?"

"Ī was the first one imprisoned. Been several thousand years since then."

"Cool."

"Yes, very. This place kind of grows on you after a while."

"It does?"

"Yep. You'll see."

Inside the Nabpie Tomb...

Samucane tries to figure out what it did wrong!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

It can't seem to think of anything in particular that it could do better! Maybe... concentrate some more?

[Magic roll: 1+1]

Yep, the canes ain't comin'! Damn.


Inside a jug of souls...

Mike proceeds to pester Ted with questions!

"Say, has anybody ever escaped?"

"Well, Dick just did. It's easy. Form a line in front of the cork, make sure you're in front. When somebody opens it, get out and possess somebody. They will take your place in the jug. Sure, it takes a really long while until someone opens the jug, but we're not in any particular rush, you know."
