In a sticky situation in the Kingdom of Slime...
Samucane doesn't want to be melted! It attempts to summon a cane wall of implausible proportions!
[Magic roll: 4+1]
It manages to create a glowing, near-solid wall about five feet in height! The slimes never saw it coming, it bets!
[Slime reaction roll: 6]
~A mage. Bloody fantastic. Thing probably has good stuff, though!~
~Do we really want to go messing with mages?~
[Slime intelligence roll: ?]
~Well, there are four of us and one of it.~
~Two, actually. A cane and a steel man.~
~Oh, right. Maybe we can sneak up on it later and nab its stuff?~
~I suppose so, let's just wait for it to- wait, did you close this channel to the mage?~
~Uh... whoops?~
~Ah, screw it, let's bail.~
Samucane hears the sound of slinking outside the fence! They seem to be leaving!
Outside the Castle of Something...
Timothy beckons Hansel to come with him as he flies through the drawbridge!
[Hansel intelligence roll: 1]
Hansel does indeed follow him! Straight into the drawbridge!
[Hansel endurance roll: 6+1]
However, it is too thick-skulled to be defeated by a mere piece of wood! It tries again!
[Ramming roll: 6]
It flies off into the distance, then comes speeding extremely rapidly into the drawbridge!
[Drawbridge structural integrity roll: 4-1]
The drawbridge now has a very large dent in it with several cracks running along its surface!
[Hansel endurance roll: 2+1]
Hansel jumps off the drawbridge and just sits breathing for a while! That looks like it really hurt!
[Hansel intelligence roll: 3]
Maybe ramming into the door was not the best idea? But there doesn't seem to be any alternative! What's a bird to do?
Meanwhile Timothy tries to find somebody to interview!
[Search roll: 3]
He does see several people, but they all run away for some reason as soon as they spot him! Mystifying.
On the streets of Dielnin...
The newly-separated twin Monties attempt yet another simultaneous attack!
[Right Monty vs. Whip Man: 6-1 vs. 1+1]
[Left Monty vs. Whip Man: 2-1 vs. 3+1]
The left Monty attempts a flying leap attack at the man! It's not very effective, what with him having only one limb! However, it catches the whip man's attention long enough for Monty to bite a large chunk out of his kidney area!
[Whip Man endurance roll: 5+1]
Even though he's bleeding terribly, the whip man begins to spin around and attempt to kill anything within whipping distance!
[Counter attack: Whip Man vs. Left Monty: 6+2 vs. 4]
[Whip Man vs. Right Monty: 6+2 vs. 2]
His whip slash goes in a perfect circle of death! The left Monty gets his arm lopped off, leaving him a twitching half-torso! Right Monty is even less lucky: in a single mighty stroke, the whip flies diagonally and separates both his half-head and his arm from his shoulder!
[Left Monty will roll: 3]
[Right Monty will roll: 4]
Both halves remain mostly alive and conscious, however! They are greatly hindered by their limblessness, however!
Monty can hear something approaching in the distance!
In an alien room of light...
Vincent decides to leave while he's mostly intact and explore elsewhere! He ascends the staircase and goes elsewhere!
[Exploration roll: 5]
He finds an interesting-looking building while traversing the wastes! What's interesting is that it doesn't appear at all like any of the other buildings he's seen so far on this world: it looks human-built, actually!
On it is a legible inscription:
CELESTIAL SOJOURNER ORIENTATION OFFICE
How strange! Why would something like that even be here? Do they get a lot of visitors?
