((Did you just seriously follow the guy that mudered a wolf pack and survived despite me breaking his everything? I ROLLED 4 FIVES FOR TELEKINISIS. HE SURVIVED. I was planning on mounting you to go faster, but i have different plans now.))
Mike will try again! There must be some sweet loot in there!

Inside the throne room of the Divine Slime King...

Samucane tries to match the power of the slime god-king by calling upon its Cane Guardian!

[Magic roll: 2+1]

There is a slight disturbance in the air, as though somebody in a demon pub dropped his mug of demon booze because his summoner disturbed him! It quickly dissipates, however!

The slime god-king proceeds to get into a fight with Samucane's canes!

[Slime God-King vs. Canes: 2+5 vs. 5+4]

The canes quickly spread out to avoid its slime-tentacles and swoop back in to attack!

[Canes vs. Slime God-King: 5+4 vs. 2+5]

They come at it like a crashing wave, delivering a very palpable accessory-beating! The god-king reels back!

[God-King reeling roll: 1]

It crashes into the wall!

[Building structural integrity roll: 1-3]

The entire mass of slime, thirteen stories tall in total, comes crashing down on the room!

[Samucane magic roll: 6+1-2]
[Cane Armada escape roll: 6]

Samucane and its loyal army fly out before it has the chance to destroy them, however! Samucane is the first to come out, flying out of the window. The canes crash through the wall, even further completing the collapse! The slime god-king is far too large and unwieldy to escape, however, and gets buried in rubble!

Samucane surveys the ruins!

[Slime God-King endurance roll: 5]

Purple slime begins spilling from the rubble in large quantities! Oh crap.


On the streets of Dielnin...

Mike gets up from her pile of filth and tries to climb up the house again!

[Climbing roll: 4]

This time she gets up to the window and climbs in, with only the smell of unidentified filth reminding her of her previous failure! She begins searching for loot!

[Search roll: 5]

Inside a chest hidden in a closet Mike finds a pair of chain gauntlets with spiked bucklers attached! They look pretty great!

Sam will telepathically shout: "WE CAN HAVE A TRUCE, OR WE CAN DO THIS...THE CANE WAY. THE TERMS ARE SIMPLE: I SHALL SPARE YOUR KINGDOM, IN EXCHANGE FOR LOYALTY, FRIENDSHIP, KNOWLEDGE AND FREE ROAM OF YOUR CITY.

Find someone who looks like they have a map, mug them, loot body,  repeat until map found

In Dielnin...

Mike puts on the gauntlets, feeling unusually safe now! She then resumes looting like crazy!

[Looting roll: 4]

She finds a robe several sizes too large for her! It seems to be made of fabrics infused with steel through some magical process!

Meanwhile, the foreboding ball of flesh known as James rolls around looking for map-rich victims!

[Victim roll: 3]

There's plenty of people he could roll over, but none of them look like the type to carry maps!


Outside of the Slime God-King castle's ruins...

Samucane issues a shouted ultimatum to the injured king!

~WE CAN HAVE A TRUCE, OR WE CAN DO THIS... THE CANE WAY! THE TERMS ARE SIMPLE: I SHALL SPARE YOUR KINGDOM IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR LOYALTY, FRIENDSHIP, KNOWLEDGE AND FREE ROAM OF YOUR CITY!~

[King reaction roll: 5]

~I WILL AGREE TO YOUR PROPOSAL, BUT ONLY BECAUSE I WISH TO SPARE MY KINGDOM THE HARM FIGHTING YOU MAY BRING. ALSO, YOU SHOUTED YOUR REQUEST LIKE ANY RESPECTABLE SLIME NOBLEMAN IS EXPECTED TO. YOU HAVE FREE ROAM OF MY KINGDOM, AND I WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. DO NOT EXPECT LOYALTY FROM THE STATE, HOWEVER, FOR WE OWE YOU NONE.~

Put the robe on and bind it to myself with a rope. Then continue looting!

Well, then, that's good to hear. How about this: Where in the blazes am I, how do I get back to the surface realm, do your people know of magic of any kind, and do slimes really capture nubile young females and keep them as...Pets?"

Inside a home full of stuff in Dielnin...

Mike looks for a rope to bind the robe with!

[Search roll: 5]

She finds leather straps and ropes and bindings of all kinds! She could probably resize this robe with the stuff!

[Robe resizing roll: 3+1]

It's a bit loose, sure, but it's good enough! Mike now has a steel-infused robe sized specifically for her! She keeps on looting!

[Loot roll: 4]

She finds a rather impressive-looking helmet! It doesn't really fit her, but it could potentially carry a nice price at a store.


On the streets of Dielnin...

James rolls in search of another cartographer's house!

[Search roll: 2]

Even finding one cartographer's house was lucky, two are just highly improbable, James is forced to conclude. Oh well.


Inside the Kingdom of Slime...

Samucane begins interwieving the God-King of the Slimes!

~So, where in blazes am I?~

~THE KINGDOM OF THE SLIMES, LORDS AND PROTECTORS OF THE STONE CRAB TRIBE, DUCHY OF THE FACELESS AND THE WORDS THAT WALK, ALSO WE ARE THE GUARDIANS OF THE SURFACE PATH, SLAYERS OF INFIDELS AND INVADERS. WE PROTECT THE LAND FROM INTRUDERS AND OTHER THREATS TO THE UNDERGROUND WAY OF LIFE.~

~How do I get to the surface?~

~THE SURFACE PATH. WE CAN TAKE YOU THERE WHEN YOU WISH IT.~

~Do you know any magic?~

~YES. THE MAGIC OF THE SLIMES, CLOSED TO ALL OTHER MORTALS.~

~Aw, okay. Final question, do slimes really capture nubile young females and keep them as pets?~

~NO. WE DO EAT ANY THAT WANDER IN HERE FROM THE SURFACE PATH, THOUGH THAT REALLY APPLIES TO ALL SURFACE INVADER SCUM.~

Mike will leave the building and use her Spooky Howling to gather a wolf pack. Then mount a wolve and continue her journey!

In Dielnin...

Mike leaves the house through the window, climbs down and begins howling!

[Spooky Howling roll: 3]

The howl spreads to the nearby houses, creeping out certain people a bit!

Meanwhile, James looks for an inn!

[Search roll: 6]

Well, there does seem to be an inn in town. It's a pretty humble place, all in all. There are four brothels as well, which seem like far more seedy and dangerous places. Two of the brothels are open, legal places while two others are shady backroom joints! This town seems to have a pretty rich nightlife!

Randomly pick one, enter, look for shady dealers.

Sam will now tour the city! He will accept an escort of slimes to watch him, if they wish to do so.
