Return to library. Flip through book, then read with glasses on. Note any differences in the text.
((magic glasses?))

Near the Metamorphosis Department...

James goes back to the library and puts his golden glasses to use, slipping them on his only face with his tail! He opens up a random book!

[Book roll: 5]

It's a book on focus attenuation! It seems to have been placed in the Focus Disposal shelf. How disorderly! He leafs through it, but sees no difference in the text! However, something is definitely happening, as the lenses on the glasses begin glowing!

After he has leafed through the entirety of the book, James notices that the glasses are still glowing! Yep, that did something, but what?


Underneath the earth...

Samucane petitions the crabs for advice!

~What is this place and how do I leave as quickly as possible?~

[Crab reaction roll: 6]

~It is our place of residence. The Old Creators placed us here for some reason, and we lived here ever since. As to how you can leave, we shall take you to the Ancient One. He will enjoy looking at you, I believe. Your arrangements of leaving shall be taken care of afterwards.~


In the streets of Dielnin...

Monty hand-walks over to a nearby brothel!

[Brothel choice roll (d4): 3]

He shambles inside a rather classy-looking establishment and petitions a respectable-looking woman for advice!

[Reaction roll: 3]
[Nonverbal communication roll: 4]

She looks at Monty in horror as he points at his pelvis!

"What do you want me to do about it? I'm not a surgeon, for gods' sakes!"

Monty shrugs!


On an alien world...

Vincent chooses to go down the stairs! Surely there can't be anything that dangerous down there! He finds himself in a spherical room with a pedestal in the center!

[? roll: ?]

A portal of light opens above it! Tendrils of warm light begin to quickly approach Vincent!

Try to figure out what the glasses could be doing. Remove them first.

Inside the Library...

James tries to figure out the deal with these glasses! They seem to be doing something weird! Not particularly trusting of artifacts, he takes them off!

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

Well, he did find them in the library, so probably something book-related, James believes. Some experimentation couldn't hurt.

[Experimentation roll: 6]

James puts on the glasses and looks around for some way to tap into their power! He finds an odd knob of some kind. He pushes it. Nothing. He pulls it. Nothing. He twists it to the very limit!

A whisper in his mind grows to a piercing shriek as a massive amount of focus attenuation information assaults his poor vampire brain!

[Will roll: 4+1]

He retains all of the information! From types of foci, to methods of attenuation to exact meditation words needed to attenuate them! Along with it comes a peculiar sort of understanding, as though the information within the book had been explained to him by an experienced, competent teacher! Oh my, these glasses sure are powerful! They've made him an apprentice attenuator in seconds!


On the streets of Dielnin...

Mike tries to leave his material anchor to the world!

[Will roll: 4]

He leaves the body for a short bit! The little girl is left staring blankly!

[Will roll: 2]

Mike feels a very strong pull from somewhere!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Oh crap, it's the jug. It's calling him back! Better get back inside the girl's body!

[Girl will roll: 2-1]

Fortunately, the little girl is still confused enough to be unable to resist spiritual possession! Mike retains his residence in her body!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Mike bets he could possess other people like this if he really wanted to! However, if he fails, he might wind up back in the soul jug!

Look for a book on advanced focus attenuation.
Read with awesome glasses.

Inside the Library...

James looks for a book that deals with advanced focus attenuation!

[Search roll: 4]

One such work of focus-related literature seems to be located behind a book on how to properly prepare sacrificial human flesh! Guess they thought nobody would check there! Well, they thought wrong!

James begins to leaf through it with his glasses! After five minutes, he has glanced at every page! Now to twist the dial once more!

[James will roll: 5+1]

He easily memorizes and understands the mantras and tenets of advanced attenuation! Thank magic for simplified learning tools! James does, however, think that he might have forgotten something else in the process of learning this latest course.

[Memory loss roll: 2]

How did he get here, anyway? Where did he come from?


Inside a brothel...

Monty, in no particular rush to get anywhere, decides to party!

[Partying roll: 2]

He attempts to dance and drink, but ends up on the floor covered in cheap booze. It seems like he skipped some crucial steps of partying there. Oh well. Time to look for some kind of wagon workshop!

[Search roll: 2]

Dammit, why isn't there anything useful in this town?

Monty has had enough! Find a horse and kill it. Then tear the flesh from it's bones! Finally, attach it to myself so I have a lower body!

Inside the library...

James tries to remember where he came from and what he was supposed to do!

[Remembrance roll: 2]

Nope, it's slipped his mind forever. Guess he'll have to figure it out later. He does remember his name and that Pacitarius is a filthy douchebag, though, so he can take solace in that!


On the streets of Dielnin...

Monty looks for a horse to murder!

[Search roll: 1]

He does indeed find one! It has a rider, too! Fellow with a whip! Murder time!

[Monty vs. Trusty Steed: 6 vs. 3+1-1]

He bites an enormous chunk out of its flank and punches it for good measure!

[Trusty Steed endurance roll: 1]

The trusty steed makes a horrible high-pitched and keels over in pain!

[Rider agility roll: 5+1]

The rider leaps off the horse and draws a bladed whip! Uh oh.

When he swings the whip grab it! Use the upper body strength that developed over a life of not having legs to haul him towards Monty and then start the murdering!
