In the courtyard of Castle So-and-so...

Timothy chuckles briefly at his birdfriend's silly antics, then looks for another villager!

[Search roll: 3]

He spots one off in the distance! Okay, this will take a bit of finesse...

[Telekinesis roll: 2]

He can't pick the bastard up! What are they feeding these guys, lead? They weigh a ton!

There don't seem to be any other people around. Oh well, better ask him something anyway!

[Reaction roll: 2-1]

The villager spots Timothy immediately and runs away! Really, does nobody here have any manners?

[Hansel intelligence roll: 3]

He hears thoughtful bird noises come from the other sound of the drawbridge, but it doesn't seem like flying over the wall has occurred to Hansel just yet!


On the road to Dielnin...

James just keeps on rolling northward, creeping out the occasional animal on the way!

[Travel roll: 4-1]

He speeds up a little bit! Well, this is exciting!


On an alien world...

Vincent heads inside the Celestial Sojourner Orientation Office! There he is met by a friendly-looking, though somewhat haggard woman!

"Hello, great traveler, and welcome to the Celestial Sojourner Orientation Office! We offer training courses, maps, equipment and more! What would be your pleasure today?"


On the streets of Dielnin...

Monty isn't feeling very good about his odds of survival! Time for the good ol' "rely on your unconscious friend to provide a sufficient diversion for yourself to escape" ploy!

[Escape roll: 4]

Monty begins to roll away quickly, and soon he has put quite a bit of distance between himself and the whip-man! Yep, he'll be difficult to catch now!


Inside the Kingdom of Slime...

Samucane decides to follow the Cane Guardian's example and attempt forming a truce with the slimes!

[Magic roll: 5+1]
[Writing eloquence roll: 4]

It creates giant flaming cane-letters on the ceiling of the cave:

LET THERE BE PEACE BETWEEN US, SLIME-PEOPLE! LOVE, SAMUCANE.

[Acceptance roll: ?]

The slimes seem to be moving quickly towards him, almost like a tidal wave!

Wait a minute, I tore a chunk out of his horse, right?

Burrow into the horse while he's concentrating on Mike! Try and merge self with the horse's skeleton and control it to attack the man!

((If i leave this girl body and become a ghost, it'll probably turn out that he has a magic whip or something.))

Mike will use his telekinetic powers to break the man's whip-arm!

On the streets of Dielnin...

Mike tries to telekinetically break the man's arm! But she has to wake up first!

[Waking up roll: 5]

She rolls out of the way of an incoming throwing axe! Well, that was close. Telekinesis time!

[Telekinesis roll: 5]

She goes into a brief trance! The world around her slows down, the whip man standing before her with extremely sharp pentacles and heavy throwing axes in both hands! She sees the man's right arm, and notices that it is unbroken! Well, this must be immediately mitigated! She twists and breaks it to the point of uselessness in a fraction of a second! Time returns to its proper flow once more!

[Man endurance roll: 5+1]

The whip man looks at his arm for a few seconds, completely silent.

He then begins laughing like mad and chucking axes with his left arm!

[Whip Man vs. Mike: 4+1 vs. 6+1]

Mike dodges every single one, though! She points and laughs at the man's failed attempts at the end of the assault!

Meanwhile, Monty busies himself with crawling to the dead horse! He then makes like a parasitic worm and tries to burrow inside!

[Burrowing roll: 4]

He successfully chews his way inside the horse and nests himself on its spinal cord! Okay, now for mind control!

[Horse control roll: 3]

He makes the horse twitch a bit and roll over, though that's mostly because of his own persistent squirming!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Hey, wait a minute, maybe he should attempt to link his unlife force with the horse's skeleton? Yeah, that could work!

[Horse control roll: 5+1]

Monty becomes the horse! He has legs now! And a tongue! And teeth! And muscles! Oh dear, the feeling is absolutely intoxicating! He must take it out on something!

[Random victim roll: 6]

He instantly launches himself at the whip man!

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

The whip man jumps aside as Monty leaps at him! He seems to cast a look of betrayal at Monty!


Inside the CSOO...

Vincent tries to charade out a request!

[Nonverbal communication roll: 6]

"Ah, you'd like the Deluxe Traveler's Package, I suppose? Hm, let me think..."

[Reaction roll: 1]

"I'm sorry, but the Deluxe Package requires you to have a special form, which I'm afraid we do not have yet. We don't have any forms, actually. It's been a distressing five-hundred-year delay, but I'm sure they'll get shipped by tomorrow, no later."

[Nonverbal communication roll: 4]

"Three weapons and a map, eh?"

[Reaction roll: 1]

She scratches her chin thoughtfully and casts an annoyed glance at Vincent!

"Do you have anything you could ask for that doesn't require a ton of forms to sign? Seriously, you could ask to use the bathro-wait, that requires a form as well. We don't have any forms. If you want anything, you need a signed form. Now go away, please!"

[CSOO Operator magic roll: 5+2]

Vincent finds himself somewhere else!

[Random location roll: 6]

He seems to be standing at the top of an incredibly tall spiral tower now! He can see the alien landscape all around him!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

The land seems to be... moving? What the hell?

Sigh.

Timothy shall, in a fit of inspiration, trap one of these silly people by telekinetically placing a chamber pot upon their head! Then he can ask them where they keep the metal lady. They sure aren't very welcoming.

In the courtyard of Castle Grumblemumble...

Timothy sighs with the weariness of a discontented specter and looks for a chamber pot!

[Search roll: 2]

It appears that none are around! Damn it! How is he supposed to stay classy if he can't even find a possibly full chamberpot to stick on people's heads?

[People roll: 4]

A clueless-looking fellow seems to be wandering around the blacksmith's shop! Timothy approaches him without issue and asks some questions!

[Politeness roll: 5]

"Me say, would you know where metal lady be? Most sporting of you would be to tell true!"

[Answer roll: 1]

The man looks at him briefly, then looks around for a possible avenue of escape!

[Escape roll: 2]

No horses or anything like that around, though! Guess he'll have to answer the question, then escape!

[Answer roll: 4]

"Uh, there's a metal lady in the castle. Don't know if it's the one you're looking for, though. Can I run away now?"


In the streets of Dielnin...

Mike tries to break the fellow's other arm with telekinesis!

[Telekinesis roll: 5]

Woo, baby, is Mike on a roll or what? She manages to snap the guy's other arm as easy as one-two-CRACK!

[Man endurance roll: 5+1]

The man just keeps laughing! He spins and tries to throw his pentacles at both of his assailants!

[Technique roll: 3]

He focuses on Mike, as she appears more dangerous!

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

Mike manages to avoid the whip man's thrown pentacle, ducking under his attack like a natural!


In the Kingdom of Slime...

Samucane tries to open its wall of safety!

[Magic roll: 3+1]

It manages to make a hole large enough for itself to fly through! When that's done, it tries to craft cane slimes!

[Magic roll: 6+1]

It works! A working, slinking, nasty cane slime appears in front of it! Well, it doesn't really stick to anything or melt anything, which is 5/6ths the point of being a slime, but it's an amorphous blob of canes nonetheless!

[Slime approach roll: 5]

The tidal wave stops as it reaches Samucane's enclosure! A single slime slinks forth from the mass! It speaks to Samucane!

~You. We will let you live for now, but you must come with us to the King's Palace.~

"Thank you! Timothy beamed with happy surprise. Finally, a friendly person!
"That real helpfuls. Maybe you come with me? I's have lots of good adventures. It'll be fun! We can find metal lady, get big friendly neck-romance, fly around with Hansel..." The ugly ghost frowned suddenly, trailing off.
"Wait... Hansel!" He'd forgotten about him!

>Go get Hansel, make sure he hasn't smacked himself into unconsciousness!

>Bring this helpful chap with me, too! Maybe he can help open the drawbridge...

((Inb4 he rolls a 6 for endurance and keeps on going. Seriously, what the fuck is up with this guy?))
