Remain motionless, but integfrate the horse's spine into my spinal cord permanently to increase my size. Wait for him to leae and then head back to the farm and burrow into a bull to do the same thing I did to the horse.

In Dielnin...

James briefly considers which brothel to grace with his patronage!

[Brothel choice roll (d4): 3]

Well, for his purposes the shady backroom joint would definitely be a better place to go to. He rolls up to one of the entrances inside a conveniently empty butcher shop!

[Brothel security roll: 6]

He is immediately met by a smiling woman that takes him inside, assuring that this is indeed the place he's looking for! He rolls after her and finds himself in a... temple? What the hell?

"Prepare yourself to find true enlightenment, honored... uh... thing!"


In the Kingdom of Slime...

Samucane has one more request of the slime god-king!

~I wish a tour of the city!~

~UH. OKAY. DO YOU WANT SOUVENIRS AS WELL? WE HAVE A GOOD SHOP FOR THAT IN THE OOZE DISTRICT. WELL, ANYWAY, I WILL GIVE YOU AN ESCORT, MORE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE COMMON SLIME THAN YOURS.~

Ten slimes appear around Samucane, seemingly growing out of the shadows themselves!

Samucane is then given a tour of the capital of the Kingdom of Slime! It will always remember how all the buildings looked the same (due to slimes seeing colors slightly differently than humans and caneoids can), the history narrated by the ten slime operatives was really quite boring and meant nothing to him and the art museum was mostly scent-based. Finally, Samucane is taken to the Ooze District Souvenir Shop, where there are a great many slime-related souvenirs - slime pendants, slime flags, slime spoons, slime posters, slime clothing obviously not meant for humans and other gewgaws and knickknacks.


On an alien world...

Vincent tries to figure out a better way of fixing his legs!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Well, maybe he could remove one of the legs and use it to repair the other? He can just use his third arm as a leg until he can find more parts!

[Medicine roll: 2+1]

Too bad both legs are shattered all over. Hm, he'd have to replace them with something else, then.


In the woods...

Monty tries to integrate the horse's spine into his own!

[Skeletal integration roll: 4]

Surprisingly, this works! He makes the horse's spine loop around his own, making an auxiliary spring-like spine! Hooray for skeletal recombination! With that done, he decides to wait this one out for now! That is, until he hears the whip man muttering something about giving his horse a proper funeral and hears something shatter!

[Burning roll: 3]

Oh crap, he feels his horse hide slowly melting and burning away! It's the water, isn't it. Damn.

"...Aw!" Timothy hovered there uselessly, feeling quite upset with this turn of events. All his hard work, all these exciting adventures, all only to find out he didn't have the right button-box-thing.
"This no good. Guess we needs wait for dem others, maybe leaves a note. Hmm."

He looked over to his reluctant assistant, quickly turning his frown upside down. "Don't worries! You been big help, is not you fault. Maybe me an' Hansel helps you out for nows, have neck-romances later!"

>Post out notices around town asking for a magical, necromancer-summoning box with a button on it.

>Then Timothy and Hansel shall return this friendly, terrified fellow's favour, and help out with his domestic chores!
It's only fair, after all.

Inside a burning horse-carcass...

Monty tries to chew out of his horse-carcass shell!

[Chewing roll: 5]

He tears right out of the carcass, obtaining momentum for his escape!

[Escape roll: 4]

He bounces away, using the horse-spine as a leg to support himself! The whip man hurls an axe after the escaping Monty!

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

Monty catches the axe in his teeth and keeps spine-running! He is putting a respectable distance between himself and the whip man!


Meanwhile in the Slime Kingdom...

Samucane looks for some good deals in the souvenir store! It can't return to the surface without something to bring its friends!

[Shopping roll: 1]

Samucane spots a rather fine-looking sculpture of a slime in a corner! Ooh, looks really valuable!

~I say, that thing in the corner! It looks neat. I will give you one miniature cane for it!~

~Those are the enshrined remains of my wife! She's been dead for two centuries, she was the love of my life! I still can't help but weep whenever I think of the good times we had...~

The slime shopkeeper does seem to be dripping something right now!

~Two miniature canes, then!~

~Get out. Now.~


Inside Castle Mmgfrhm...

Timothy, greatly saddened at his current failure, enlists the aid of his companions in posting notices asking for a magic button-box of summoning necromancers!

[Posting roll: 4]
[Notice making roll: 6]

The notices, which have been posted all over the castle courtyard, read:

YOU COULD BE NEXT! The menace of necromancer-summoning button-boxes threatens to strike our town even today! The boxes, which are known to multiply and destroy everything if not immediately destroyed by a qualified specialist, could be on your doorstep even now, or your neighbor's, or your neighbor's neighbor's! Do the right thing and report any magical button-boxes of necromancer summoning to your local artifact destruction specialist, the honorable Timothy Amscray, Esquire, found in the company of Bob Bernhard.

Underneath the text there is a vague picture of a box with a button on it! Timothy drew it himself with telekinesis!

With that done, Timothy tells Bob that he would like to help him with household chores!

[Man reaction roll: 2]

"Uh, no. I know what happened with the guards. So no."

[Town panic roll: 1]

Both of Timothy's companions are suddenly trampled by a mob of people pestering Timothy with chests, wallets, bags and wooden logs! They seem to be yelling at him to destroy them immediately before everyone is eaten by monsters or something!


On an alien world...

Vincent tries to turn his halberd shafts into working peglegs!

[Weapon crafting roll: 6]

Vincent figures "why bother?" and just chops his destroyed legs off with the halberd, then sticks both halberds in place instead of them! He stands up!

Ooh, so this is what high heels feel like!

Mike will pick up the summoning box and then spookily howl and gather a wolf pack again.

((Monty dropped that box right? He was reduced to half a skull and a spinal cord!))

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

In the woods...

Monty attempts to pull a fast one on the whip man and get past him to return to the farm!

[Evasion roll: 3]

He sort of tries to skip past the man, trying to get by on confidence alone!

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

He opens his mouth and catches a flung wooden pentacle as he passes the whip man! The whip man looks stupefied!

Monty uses this to skip right past him! However, it is not long before the man resumes his pursuit!

Monty gets back to the farm and looks for a new body!

[Search roll: 3]

Well, it seems like the farmer has taken all the cows and bulls out to pasture, the horses seem to be missing as well. There's only chickens around!


Meanwhile in Dielnin...

Mike, outfitted in the finest sweet loot she could find, gets back to the scene of Monty's brutal dismemberment and picks up the box! She then thinks about how best to call wolves to her!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Wait a minute, her spooky howl isn't actually an ability that attracts things! It either scares them away or paralyzes them with fear! She wouldn't be able to call up any wolves with that!

Mike will just continue her journey.

((Intelligence rolls are hidden in order to make it harder for you to realize that something is a very, very bad idea, thus preventing metagaming both on purpose and accident. For instance, if you had rolled a 1 in intelligence and I would say "It's a good idea to do this!", you would instantly know it's a bad idea and try to avoid doing it.))
