Outside the gate of the Kingdom of Slime...

Samucane orders the steel individual in its possession to go and squish some slime!

[Stomping roll: 1]

It stomps on the slime and slips, landing on the ground with a loud clang!

~OW! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? Damn, that hurts! Haven't you ever heard of knocking first? I mean, here I was, seeping out from under the door when WHAM, some idiot slips and falls on me! Ridiculous!~

Oh my. The slime has begun ranting. That didn't go as planned.

Sam will say that he's sorry, but where he's from, slimes are brutes that devour clothing and defile women in the most...Well, in the most human ways, to be honest. Does this slime know about the crabs?"

If this is one of those "Faction-A-Hates-Faction-B-Which-Hates-Faction-A" scenarios, I will kill them all.

Outside the gate to the Kingdom of Slime...

Samucane attempts to apologize to the slime, claiming ignorance due to frankly racist stereotypes!

[Slime reaction roll: 2]

~So you stomped on me because of racial prejudice, not any kind of personal grudge? That's even worse, you know! It means you're one of THEM!~"

~One of who? The crabs?~

~Oh no, those chaps are quite charming, if a bit territorial. They always buy things at our Big Decade Blowout despite not being able to use anything we sell! Gods bless their chitinous hides! The people I'm talking about are those filthy adventurer types, always barging in and refusing to kindly piss off right up to the point when we're forced to melt the flesh off their bones. Awful blighters, those adventurers. Thankfully, not a lot of 'em around now. Must have gotten eaten already. You're obviously some kind of adventurer. I can smell it! Well, I'll be damned if I'm letting you through this gate!~

"Sorry, Mr. Slime. I was told by the crabs to leave here, and they sold me this metal...Thing. I don't know how to control it yet. Please accept my most sincere apologies, and let me know if there is anything I can do to help you, to right these wrongs. Also, I am a cane, so it's hard to feel empathy and what-not. And before that I was a skeleton. And insane with a permanent hangover.

Grab axe, pull out of wall, walk out of building.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

((Monty! The jar o souls! It's your only chance!))
Mike will wait until the others get up, and then ask them to do something about the mean man outside!

Outside the gate to the Kingdom of Slime...

Samucane attempts to shift blame on the crabs! They sold it a racist golem, that's how it was, and it'll swear to it! Plus he used to be a skeleton, and you know how skeletons are, always disparaging one minority or another!

[Slime reaction roll: 6]

~Racist golem, eh? Happens, I guess. Well, you can come in, but any funny business from you or your golem, and stuff gets melted, you hear me?~


Inside the Magical Zoology Department...

James attempts to pull the axe out of the exterior wall while located on the inside!

[Subtlety roll: 2]

Hm, smashing through the wall sounds like quite a good idea at the moment! Well, it's better than any other he's had so far!


Inside a tear-drenched home...

Mike waits for the family to get up!

[Family getting up roll: 5]

They do so in about ten seconds, having had enough of this crying foolishness! With that done, Mike tattles on the whipping fellow outside!

[Tattling roll: 2]

Something stops her, though! The one rule she has never broken in her life! The ultimate rule! The Law of the Playground: snitches and rats don't live very long, see? So it stands to reason that if ya keep yer lip zipped, yer life expectancy will grow!

Emboldened by these words, Mike decides that snitching is morally reprehensible and wrong! She won't do it, no way, no how!

Mike will leave the house trough the back door and travel until he no longer feels the sucking power of the jar!

In the house of several formerly crying people...

Mike, satisfied at resisting the great temptation to snitch like a dirty stool pigeon, chooses to abscond inconspicuously! She leaves through the back door and runs to the north!

[Encounter roll: 6]

She is busy running north when suddenly a wolf jumps out at her! Oh crap.

It nuzzles her warmly! Well, that's good!

It picks her up with its teeth and carries her off to a cave! There's several wolf pups in here. Wonder if she'll have to fight for survival now?

[Pup ferocity roll: 2]

The answer appears to be a resounding yes as the wolf pups begin snarling at her!

Smash through wall, reclaim axe, head outside, practice 6 weapon wielding outside.

Samucane will enter, and be careful! Order the golem to do nothing but follow, while of course watching it's steps...

Inside the Magical Zoology Department...

James tries to smash through the axe-enriched wall!

[Smashing roll: 2]

He bumps against it several times, but nothing happens!

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

Maybe he should try getting more speed first?

[Smashing roll: 5]

After getting up to a decent velocity in the corridor, James finds the wall to be less than sturdy! He blasts right through it, freeing the axe! It embeds itself into the ground!

[Earthquake roll: 3]

The area shakes a bit, but it's nothing too impressive!

[Building structural integrity roll: 5]

The Magical Zoology Department stands much like it always has, minus one wall, of course. Good engineering, that's what's up here! James decides to practice with his weapons some more!

[Practice roll: 5]

He manages to get somewhat good at swinging his weapons complementary to each other, rather than as individual superweapons! He believes that this bit of wisdom has made him a better fighter already!

[Random destruction roll: 2]

He manages to send an errant fireball off into one of the buildings! Looks like... the Demonology Department!

[Fire roll: 2]

The building begins to burn rather intensely! Whoops.


Almost inside the Kingdom of Slime...

Samucane takes the lead, ordering its golem to follow behind and NOT TOUCH ANYTHING!

[Magic roll: 2+1]

Humble mage that it is, Samucane chooses to drag itself through the slimy roads of the Kingdom of Slime!

There seem to be slime cottages, slime farms, slime towers, slime animals and slime people in here! Well, this place sure deserves its name.


Inside a wolf den...

Mike attempts to howl spookiliciously!

[Spooky Howling roll: 5]

She manages to emit an inhuman screech of pure terror!

[Pup will roll: 6]

The pups howl with her! It becomes an enchanting choir of pure soul-shattering scariness!

Soon enough the wolf mother returns!

[Mama Wolf will roll: 3]

The wolf begins to yelp and shiver uncontrollably!

((time to start questing))
Head back to Bernie's, using my botanical knowledge to pick any useful plants on the way.
(( just looked at James's inventory and attributes list. Gosh they are large.))

((You're probably the most exciting character so far. You really can't do anything without horrendously fucking up and starting a "side quest")).
Mike will command the wolf pups to attack and eat their mother! Then she will head back to town and give the whip man a beating with her wolf pack.
