There, there. Heal the slime of any wounds, and tell it to follow the cane-scouts and golem who're following Sam. We're leaving! Oh, well, we are after we loot the devastated wreck of the magic shop.

On an alien world...

Vincent decides that treasure and monsters, in that order, should be his priority! He goes forth in search of high adventure!

[Search roll: 6]

He finds a truly enormous spiral in the wastes, with an entrance several dozen feet above ground level! At the top of the spiral there is a peculiar light of some kind! Probably good stuff in there!


Inside the Kingdom of Slime...

Samucane looks at the cane-slime! Doesn't look very injured to it. Well, then. Onward!

Samucane sadly looks at the total absence of any golems or canes following it! If only that Cane Guardian had not been summoned, if only Samucane had realized the potential drastic consequences of its actions! Oh well. Time for Samucane to make itself feel better through the wonders of Kleptomania Therapy!

[Samucane magic roll: 4+1]

Samucane floats over to the ruins and examines them!

[Search roll: 3]

There's a lot of formerly magical slag here, but that's all, really.

Head up the spiral and look around for any treasure.

Samucane will sigh, and exit the Slime City, for better or for...Worse.

Outside a tremendous spiral...

Vincent tries to get up to the door!

[Climbing roll: 6]

You use your halberd legs to chop into the side of the building, quickly scaling it with the aid of your three arms!

[Door bypassing roll: 6]

You smash through the surprisingly fragile door!

[? roll: ?]

Everything seems clear as you get inside the spiral! Just like before, there is a spiral staircase leading up and down!


Inside the Kingdom of Slime...

Samucane sighs telepathically, and its entourage of slime escorts sigh as well! Even the cane slime sighs, though it seems like it only does so to fit in!

They go to the gate to the surface! Samucane is led through the giant riveted steel gate that leads outside and finds itself in a cave! It seems to be long, wide tunnel of some kind!

Sam will ask the slimes if there are any dangers on this road ahead.

Wait, did I get the maps? If so, read them with the glasses.
If not, head inside, get them. I paid good money!

"Well, maybes--" Before Timothy could respond to his new friend Bob, they were beset by a herd of panicked villagers.
Timothy thought fast.

"Calm down! Calm downs! Being scared is makes the bad magic worse, so no do that!"
He thought fast some more.
"Quickly, puts alla thems magicky things in the Containment Zone! They be safe there, I can disposes of 'em. I a expert Disposin'-of-Bad-Magicky-Things-Person, you know!"

>Rescue my companions with quick-talking!

>Then direct the townsfolk to leave there to-be-disposed of junk in the guardhouse/"Containment Zone"!

>Then check on Hansel and Bob. Hopefully they aren't too trampeled...

Dammit. Take a chicken and then try and merge other chickens into some kind of super-chicken abomination.

Outside the Kingdom of Slime...

Samucane asks its slime escorts if there's anything... dangerous on the way to the surface!

~Nothing as dangerous as the surface itself, we assure you.~

Well, that's informative.


Outside a Brothel-Temple...

James, realizing he is still mapless, goes back in to satisfy his compulsive need to know where he's going! He heads up to the woman that sold him the maps!

"Hello! Back already?"

"I need my maps, woman!"

"You already had a session, didn't you? Do you want another one?"

[James intelligence roll: ?]

"I want maps!"

[Woman intelligence roll: ?]

"What do you mean? You already got some maps! Were you dissatisfied with the service?"


In the courtyard of some castle or another...

Timothy tries to calm down the vicious crowd with some wise words!

"Calm down! Calm downs! Being scared is makes the bad magic worse, so no do that!"

[Crowd reaction roll: 2]

"What did he say?"

"Something about things getting worse!"

"Oh no!"

They keep on showering Timothy with decidedly non-magical boxes! Timothy has a great idea!

"Quickly, puts alla thems magicky things in the Containment Zone! They be safe there, I can disposes of 'em. I a expert Disposin'-of-Bad-Magicky-Things-Person, you know!"

He points at the guardhouse!

[Crowd reaction roll: 4]

"At once, milord!"

The crowd runs over to a nearby guardhouse and drop all of their boxes inside, then run off to a safe distance! Meanwhile, Timothy checks the lifesigns of Hansel and Bob!

[Hansel endurance roll: 1]

Ouch, poor Hansel! He seems to be broken! Completely broken! He lies motionless on the ground!

[Bob endurance roll: 4]

Bob, however, seems to have rolled away from most of the stomping feet of the ground, and has only suffered very minor bruising as a result!


On a farm in the woods...

Monty tries to perform amateur chicken grafting, a favorite activity of completely insane farmers everywhere!

[Chicken merging roll: 5-2]

He pushes one chicken into another! Well, they seem to have merged a little bit, but then they just separate again and go about their business!

Meanwhile, the whip man has closed the requisite distance between himself and Monty!

[Whip Man vs. Monty: 3+1 vs. 5]

He chucks a jar of water at him, but Monty just catches it with his twin spines and rolls it safely down on the dirt floor!


On an alien world...

Vincent ascends the spiral staircase!

[? roll: ?]

Eventually, Vincent gets up to a room that seems to be full of fractal-themed furniture of nonsensical design. There's fractal... uh... chairs? Fractal tables? Fractal lamps? In the middle of the room Vincent sees a fractal glass case with a fractal knife inside of it!

In a chicken coop...

Monty tries to pick up the water!

[Water handling roll: 4-1]

He picks it up and awkwardly throws it!

[Monty vs. Whip Man: 2-1 vs. 1+1]

It hits the ceiling, burning a hole in it!

[Whip Man vs. Monty: 4+2 vs. 4]

The whip man swings his whip, slicing off several inches of Monty's left spine!

Charge at him and burrow into him!

((p.S. I meant to burrow into the chicken and then merge in another like I mered the horse spine into me))
