Mike will put the cork back in the jug, so he can't be sucked in anymore, and then leave this body!

((inb4 i roll a one and put the cork in my throat and choke.))

"Nyerk nyerk nyerk abble-a-GUNNNG!!"

Timothy decided to cheer himself up with some inarticulate screams as he floated over the ravine. Who needs bridges when you're a ghost, anyway? Seems sort of pointless.

"Garblab! Tiddlywinks!"

>Float onwards, screeching loudly as I go!

Ah, well.
Use my newfound knowledge to attenuate one of the spellbooks

In the streets of Dielnin...

Monty gets into a defensive position and gets ready for his next trick: catching a whip of swords!

[Man intelligence roll: ?]

The man goes for a whip attack!

[Man vs. Monty: 6+2 vs. 5+1+1]

Monty does his best to catch the whip, but he only succeeds in getting his finger whipped off! That rather hurt! Plus it cost him 1/10th of his mobility!

Meanwhile down the street, Mike thinks about whether plugging the jug would do any good!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

It probably would, yes. She searches for the jug!

[Search roll: 5]

She finds it in the hands of one of the mob members! It's already plugged! Well. Seems like she was wrong on that front.


Near a deadly-looking ravine...

Timothy flies right over the ravine while screaming inarticulately to pass the time!

[Ravine creature roll: 2]

It seems that something is stirring inside the ravine! Oh dear.

[Pursuit roll: 4]

A giant leather-winged bird begins to follow Timothy! Obviously not a fan of his work, that one.

[Timothy escape roll: 2]

The bird easily catches up with the hapless Timothy and begins to peck at him! Luckily, this thing isn't very magical, and just ends up pecking at air! Timothy just shrugs and keeps flying! Eventually he and his companion reach an odd place! It's a clearing in the middle of a grove of trees with large circular tents in it!


Within the Library...

James attempts to attenuate one of his spellbooks! He can almost taste the magic!

[Focus attenuation roll: 5]

Surprisingly, it works perfectly! The focus now responds to James' commands! Let's take a look at these spells...

Hm, Skeletal Restoration, Regeneration, Suffocation, Physiological Normalcy, Life-Quench. Exactly the things James desires!

Mike will pick up the jug and take it to a graveyard to capture some ghosts.

In the streets of Dielnin...

Mike takes the jug from the mob member, promising to take good care of it! She looks for a graveyard!

[Search roll: 1]

She finds the pyre people commonly use to cremate any corpses! No ghosts here. Probably because no one's attempted to raise the dead.

Mike will try to find somebody from the town that is still alive and then unbind their soul to trap them inside!

Try it again on a different spellbook. And then finally on the third.

In the streets of Dielnin...

Mike looks for some victims to condemn to a fate worse than death!

[Victim roll: 1]

She finds absolutely nobody! Well, apart from a guy with a whip fighting Monty. He looks alive! Mike runs up and attempts to trap his soul in the jug somehow!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

It'll probably all work out to her advantage, anyway!

[Jug roll: 2]

She opens the jug! Nothing seems to come out, though. Probably because everyone except Ted is already out.


Inside the Library...

James attempts to attenuate yet another spellbook to himself!

[Focus attenuation roll: 4]

It works on the second one, too! Could James actually be... competent? Better check again.

[Focus attenuation roll: 3]

He manages to get a limited attenuation with the final spellbook, becoming able to cast half the spells in it!

"Ooh! Hello, birdy!"

>Befriend the bird! Via magic if necessary!

>Head down to investigate these tents. Try and remember what I was looking for in the first place.


"I think I gonna call you... Hansel. That's you name, birdy!"

Mike will throw the jug at the whip guy and hide.

Use my knowledge to see if limited attenuation can be upgraded to a full one.
Do so if possible, then look at the list of spells I could cast.

In the air above Yellowglen...

Timothy decides to try and befriend the bird!

[Befriending roll: 6-1]

The bird, seeing no possibility of ever killing Timothy, decides to go along with this! Hey, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

"I think I gonna call you... Hansel! That's your name, birdy!"

Seeing no less-embarrassing alternative, the bird accepts this name graciously! It is now Timothy's loyal follower! Hansel in tow, Timothy flies down to investigate the tents!

[People roll: 2]

There's nobody around! How strange! Having satisfied his curiosity, Timothy tries to remember what he was supposed to do!

[Remembrance roll: 6]

Find Steel Maiden thing! Summon necromancer! Do it now or bad things happen!

Well, now that that's established, Timothy realizes he really should be getting to the task at hand! TIMOTHY AND HANSEL AWAY!

The merry pair of misfits flies off north in what is sure to be the buddy adventure of the year. They soon reach a peculiar-looking castle made of black stone! Somebody appears to live there!


In the streets of Dielnin...

Mike panics and throws the unplugged jug at the whip guy!

[Mike vs. Whip Guy: 6-1 vs. 3+1-1]

It loudly bonks against his head and falls to the ground!

[Whip guy endurance roll: 6+1]

Oh dear. He looks pissed now. Mike chooses to try to run like a little girl and hide!

[Hiding roll: 1]

She remains still, totally paralyzed with fear!


Inside the Library...

James thinks about whether a limited attenuation could be upgraded.

[Knowledge roll: 2+1]

It seemed to be quite a difficult process, actually.

James looks over his spellbook and checks out his spells!

Let's see, there's physiological restoration spells, lifeforce guarding spells, skeletal realignment spells, regeneration spells, lifeforce quenching spells, skeletal weakening spells, wound closing spells and many more! In short, all kinds of healing and murdering spells! Sounds fun!
