Monty will crawl towards the man. Use the corpse of the dead horse as cover! Then murdermurdermurdermurder.

>Fly up to the castle, telekinesis the doorknocker a few times to get their attention!

If they don't have a doorknocker, well, >telekinesis the door open!

And finally, if that doesn't work, ask Hansel to peck at the door a few times.


"Halloooooooo!!" Timothy calls out in a horrifying, sing-song voice, doing his best to appear friendly, "We come for metal lady! Give us metal lady please thankyou!"

Outside the Magical Weaponry and Armor Department...

James goes up to the Magical Zoology Department to reclaim his axe!

Well, it seems to be stuck in the second floor wall. James decides to roll inside and get to the second floor!

[Encounter roll: 6]

Absolutely nothing interrupts him on the way there! In fact, it's almost strangely quiet in here!

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

Obviously, something is conspiring to kill him even as he gets to the other side of the wall the axe is embedded in! Let's see, what would be the best way to reclaim it?

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

Uh... maybe... well... damn. James has no idea how to get to the damn thing!


Inside the Crab Temple...

Samucane attempts to barter for the steel man with its golem!

~Now, this here is a top-notch decorative human - not very useful, but one of a kind! You truly will not find another anywhere in the world! Would that be a worthy trade? I need something that can protect me, and you need beauty and decoration, correct?~

[Crab reaction roll: 3]

~WELL, I DON'T KNOW. I SUPPOSE WE COULD TRADE FOR THAT, BUT YOU'D HAVE TO SWEETEN THE DEAL A BIT. THROW IN THOSE TWO FLYING CANES YOU HAVE, AND I'LL GIVE YOU THE STEEL MAN. THING'S NOT JUST A PIECE OF JUNK, YOU KNOW.~


On the streets of Dielnin...

Monty tries to use the dead horse as an equine shield!

[Equine shield roll: 3]

Well, he sort of hides behind it, mostly because he can't actually lift the heavy carcass! The whip man briefly scratches his head, but then attacks once more!

[Whip Man vs. Monty: 2+1 vs. 3+1]

He chucks an axe at Monty, but it sticks into the horse's corpse and doesn't actually reach his target! Aha! Time for murder!

[Monty vs. Whip Man: 4 vs. 4+1]

Monty leaps out from behind the corpse and tries to punch the man, but his adversary is a bit too fast, retreating a few steps, then attacking once more!

[Whip Man vs. Monty: 5+1 vs. 5]

He hurls a jar of water at Monty! Monty ducks out of the way, but a bit of water splashes him nonetheless! Holy crap, that is painful! Burns like hellfire!


Outside a black castle of some sort...

Timothy and his good buddy Hansel fly up to the castle! It appears to have a drawbridge and moat! Not really an obstacle to Timothy or Hansel, but interesting nonetheless!

[People roll: 4]

Timothy hears the hustle and bustle of castle staff going about their business in the courtyard! Well, better get their attention somehow!

[Yelling roll: 3]

"Halloooooo! We come for metal lady! Give us metal lady please thankyou!"

A guard on the wall looks at him briefly, sighs, and keeps patrolling! How rude! Telekinetic knock time!

[Telekinesis roll: 3]

He manages to feebly pull on the drawbridge a little bit! Nobody seems to care.

Well, final plan - megabird-door-peck-go!

[Door peck roll: 1]

Hansel flies up and goes over the wall and into the courtyard, thinking this is a far more effective way to announce his presence!

[People reaction roll: 1]

People begin screaming and running through the courtyard! A few guards attempt to hit Hansel with their arrows!

[Guard 1 vs. Hansel: 6+1 vs. 6+2]
[Guard 2 vs. Hansel: 1+1 vs. 4+2]
[Guard 3 vs. Hansel: 1+1 vs. 6+2]

All three of the offending guards miss! Hansel flies up into the air and swoops down on them!

[Counterattack: Hansel vs. Guard 2: 6+2 vs. 3+1]
[Counterattack: Hansel vs. Guard 3: 5+2 vs. 3+1]

He grabs two of his attackers with his talons and carries them off the wall! One lands in the moat while the other hits the ground!

[Guard 2 endurance roll: 3]
[Guard 3 endurance roll: 1+1]

The guard that hit the ground twitches and attempts to get up while the one that landed in the moat begins to drown!

In the streets of Dielnin...

Monty attempts to steal the whip right off the whip man!

[Grabby-stealy roll: 2]

He tries to clutch it in his hands, but then realizes that attempting to grab a bladed whip with his hands is a terrible idea! He decides to back off a bit instead!

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

Another jar of water sails past as Monty dodges expertly, mutilating an escaping townsperson with shards of glass and horrible burning liquid! The screams add a rather interesting backdrop to the battle!

Monty will make gestures of surrender! And then betray them!

[Nonverbal communication roll: 3]

He sort of shrugs and puts his hands down! The man looks at him for a bit!

[Man reaction roll: 6]

He sits down on his horse's carcass and watches Monty suspiciously!

Monty will slowly move closer while continuing to pantomine the need for aid. Clutch head repeatedly to try and feign mental distress. Collapse several steps away and remain motionless until the man approaches, then grab him and start to murder.

Accept the deal, order the golems and canes to listen to the crab's every orders, and head through the slime gate!

In the streets of Dielnin...

Monty begins to really ham it up in the fake injury department!

[Ham roll: 6]

He delivers a performance so over-the-top that the man really seems to start sympathizing with him!

He then proceeds to pull out his whip and try to eliminate Monty!

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

Monty jumps back! Oh my! How uncivilized!

[Monty vs. Whip Man: 2 vs. 2+1]

Monty's terribly incompetent punch is met with a barely executed dodge! Foiled again!

[Whip Man vs. Monty: 5+2 vs. 4+1]

For his efforts, he gets four ribs sliced right through! Oh my!


Inside the Crab Temple...

Samucane accepts the deal! What does he need cane constructs for, anyway. He can always make more!

~Deal accepted, my good crab! Now, how do I command it?~

~SIMPLE!~

The Ancient One clicks his claw in a very particular way, and Samucane feels a telepathic link develop between himself and the construct!

~Congratulations on your wonderful purchase of the Steel Guardian the Third! You may now command this unit through mental commands! If you have any questions, please consult the Owner's Manual!~

~Owner's Manual?~

~LOST THAT AEONS AGO. I'M CONFIDENT YOU'LL FIGURE IT OUT. NOW SCRAM!~

Samucane transfers control of the golems to the Ancient One! The Ancient One bows gracefully and sends Samucane and his new steel man on its way!

Eventually, he reaches the gate! Yep, it's decorated with slime patterns. And slime seems to be seeping out from under it!

Timothy was horrified. "They trying to hurt Hansel!" He gasped, and drew in breath to release one of his patented screeches- then stopped. That might hurt Hansel, too!

Instead, he decided to engage in a friendly guard-tossing contest with Hansel, telekinetically grabbing the last of those nasty guards and launching it at the one who landed on solid ground!

>Once that's dealt with, he and Hansel shall find some less-mean person to ask about the metal lady.

In the streets of Dielnin...

Monty has a change of heart! Subtlety obviously doesn't work, so let's try brute force!

[Monty vs. Whip Man: 6 vs. 1+1]

He punts the guy in the nuts, utilizing his lower position to its maximum advantage!

[Whip Man endurance roll: 6+1]

The lasher, however, is not hindered in the slightest! He laughs and attacks again!

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

He cracks his whip in a mighty arc and brings it across Monty's body! Monty is sliced perfectly in two by this attack! Both halves fall to different sides and the contents of his ribcage spill out on the cobblestones!

[Monty will roll: 3]

Monty barely holds on to his life! His limbs twitch with pain and horror as the independent halves try to escape!

[Left Monty escape roll: 4]
[Right Monty escape roll: 1]

The left side of Monty makes a valiant escape while his right-hand side provides a distraction!

[Whip Man vs. Right Monty: 1+2 vs. 5+1]

The whip man swings again, but misses terribly, probably due to the perplexing predicament he is in! The right Monty goes for a valiant counterattack!

[Conterattack: Right Monty vs. Whip Man: 5-1 vs. 5+1]

Though the right-hand Monty can't do a whole lot of damage to the whip-fellow, he provides the left side with enough time to get to safety!


Inside an alien installation...

Vincent chooses to wait and see what happens! Eventually the tendrils of light reach him! Ooh, warm. Very warm. Actually, one might even call it hot. Man, is Vincent on fire or what?

[Will roll: 5]

The fire burns for quite a while, but Vincent just stands and takes it like a man! In fact, he begins to absorb some of the fire and store it in his eyes! Now he looks even cooler!

[? roll: ?]

The tendrils, obviously dissatisfied at getting their old flame taken away, withdraw back into the portal!


Outside some castle or another...

Timothy is outraged to see his friend so mistreated! He decides to begin a guard tossing contest!

[Telekinesis roll: 2]

Man, he must have spent all his power on that town or something. Maybe he could kill them some other way?

[Hansel vs. Guard 1: 6+2 vs. 6+1]

Hansel swoops past the first guard once more and manages to make a small gash on his chest! The guard winces, but is not slowed down by any means!

[Guard 1 vs. Hansel: 2+1 vs. 5+2]

He is, however, distracted enough to completely mess up his shot and allow Hansel to get close to him!

[Counterattack: Hansel vs. Guard 1: 1+2 vs. 6+1]

Before Hansel can get to him, though, the guard dives into the moat! Having expected the fall, he lands without injury right next to where his now-drowned compatriot floats!

[Guard 2 endurance roll: 1]

The guard on the ground passes out from the pain of hitting the road at an unhealthy speed!
