In a possibly fatal encounter...

Mike knows how to solve all her problems - pull harder!

[Strength roll: 6-2]

She pulls as hard as she can! She feels the bandit leader run out of breath quickly!

[Bandit Leader endurance roll: 5]

She pulls out the dagger from Mike's side and tries to stab her again!

[Bandit Leader vs. Mike: 6+1 vs. 1+1]

She stabs her right in the left eye! Vast amounts of blood come pouring out of Mike's eye socket as the blade reaches her brain!

[Mike endurance roll: 3-2

Mike's little girl host drops to the ground, the spirit of Mike leaving her body!

[Mike will roll: 3]

Mike can resist getting sucked into the jar for long enough to try and possess the nearest available host: the bandit leader!

[Bandit Leader will roll: 2]

Mike enters the bandit leader's body through her ear, spreading his influence all over her brain! Well, this seems to have worked out to his advantage!

Mike is now a bandit leader!

The bandits all congregate around her!

"Yay. We killed a little girl. Well, at least she has stuff."

"What do you mean, 'we' killed the girl? You spent the last bit of the fight on the ground moaning about how you got kneed in the kidneys. Damn girl nearly pulled my bloody arm off, I'm telling you, and I didn't complain a bit!"

"Should you really brag about how a 10-year-old managed to dislocate your arm with incredible ease?"

"It was magic, I tell you! MAGIC! You saw what she did to Jerry!"

"She sure wasn't sayin' any magic words or wavin' her arms around! You're just that much of a noodle-armed sissy, I believe."

The two keep arguing! The two others walk up to Mike!

"Let's take the little demon's stuff and leave."

"Uh, shouldn't we say a few, you know, words of parting or something to Jerry? Poor guy."

"True, I guess. Wanna do the honors, chief?"


Inside a termite-infested tunnel...

Samucane knows that it must pass this termite menace to earn its passage to the surface! It attempts to evade it!

[Magic roll: 3+1]

It slowly tries to fly over it along with its sidekick!

[Evasion roll: 1]

It accidentally touches a termite tower on the way out! Termites swarm all over it and begin chewing!

[Termites vs. Samucane: 5 vs. 5]

Samucane begins to furiously shake, not able to lose the termites but also not yet on the receiving end of horrible chomping death!

[Caneslime evasion roll: 3-1]

The caneslime accidentally brushes up against Samucane on its way out! Some of the termites pass along to it!

[Termites vs. Caneslime: 6 vs. 2]

Caneslime, not blessed with mobility like Samucane's, immediately begins to scream telepathically about getting eaten alive!

"I think we should move on. I heard there is some sweet loot in a temple close to here. Let's go there!"
Mike will pick up his stuff from the girls body and continue his journey with his newfound companions!

On the road to Yellowglen...

Mike picks up the loot from her former body, including the Jug O' Souls. She makes a suggestion to her new minions!

"I think we should... ahem, I think we should go north, I hear there's a temple with all kinds of sweet loot there."

[Minion reaction roll: 2]

"What temple, boss?"

"Uh, Lake Victory?"

"With all due respect, screw you, boss. Lake Victory's a freaking deathtrap. They've got this whatchamacallit, this Metal Broad or whatever up there. She kills everyone who don't say the magic word or something. Plus there's, like, nineteen hells worth of monsters between here and there. So I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we'll follow you anywhere, boss, but not Lake Victory. Place is demon-pits on earth."

He looks like he sincerely believes that anywhere is preferable to Lake Victory. Wow, that place sure has a reputation.


In a fractal room...

Vincent basks in the mathematical, metaphorical glow of all the fractals as he tries to steal the fractal knife from the fractal display case!

[Display case bypassing roll: 1]

He touches the display case and feels the power of the fractals assaulting him!

[Will roll: 6]

He takes the power in his mental hands and begins mentally strangling it! That will teach it to corrupt minds such as Vincent's! He mentally strangles the power until it gives in! The display case shatters! Hooray!

Vincent takes the knife! Ooh, fractalicious! Sharp, too. But mostly fractalicious!

He keeps looking around!

[Search roll: 6]

He finds himself! Not himself-himself, another himself! This himself seems to be repeating itself in nonsensical patterns of alphabetical, numerical and fractalicious sorts!

Inside a termite-infested hellhole...

Samucane tries to empower its caneslime companion!

[Magic roll: 1+1]

The magic, it does nothing! Damn it!

[Termites vs. Caneslime: 2 vs. 3]

"Wait a minute, I'm a slime! What have I got to worry about?"

It begins to absorb the termites, squashing them with its cane-substance!

Inside a termite-infested tunnel...

Samucane tries to empower the caneslime once again!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Oh, silly Samucane. It forgot that it should amplify CANE power, not GENERAL power. Simple mistake to make.

[Magic roll: 2+1]

The caneslime perks up a bit! Not a lot, mind you, just a bit.

[Caneslime vs. Termites: 3 vs. 1]

It continues to absorb and crush the termites at a steady rate! There are but a few left on it!

((Heres my new character sheet.
Name: Yorinnsud Molocksson
Archetype: Zombie (Bog)
Bio: Born over one thousand years ago Yorinnsud was a great warrior of his tribe. Striking down all that opposed him with his greatsword he rose to power over many clans of heathen savages until he was struck down by the knife of an assassin during a ceremony at his people's shrine in the bogs. Falling into the water, Yorinnsud was preserved in almost perfect condition for an age.
Is this alright?))

((I think you need to edit "Falling into water and kept compacted in the sediments along the banks of the [WATERSOURCE]", because you can rot in water :P

Also, nice sheet!))

"Hansel! Noooooo!" Timothy cried, horrified, then turned quickly to Bob.
"Mister Bob! Look, look, Hansel's hurt. We gotsta fix him! What we do?! Where's da fixy-person here? We gotsa get him there 'fore he goes mushy!"

>Quickly ask Bob for help, to get Hansel to a doctor/healer/veterinarian!

>Try and get Bob to carry poor Hansel in his corporeal arms, but if he refuses I'll have to do it myself, telekinetically. ask one of the nearby townsfolk to do it! If they refuse, then I'll have to do it myself via telekinesis.

On an alien world...

Vincent casually walks up to his nonsensical dimensional counterpart and tries to steal the legs right off his body!

[Stealing roll: 5]

Hah! Moron never suspected a thing. You take one of his legs, leaving the now one-legged simulacrum balancing on only one leg, still totally engrossed in being an idiot, or at least that's what it looks like to you.


In a tunnel that leads outside the Kingdom of Slime...

Samucane wishes to reward its stalwart minion, and it knows that canes make the very best gifts! Especially focus-canes!

[Magic roll: 5+1]

It summons a mighty cane of fire, then proceeds to attempt to grant it sentience!

[Focus creation roll: 1-2+1

Samucane endows the thing with magical focusing ability! And sentience! And vast amounts of evil! It isn't sure why it gave it those last two, but there was probably a reason.

[Evil Twin magic roll: 4+1]

It quickly flies out of the cave, presumably to besmirch Samucane's good name in the world!

Considering that Samucane doesn't have a good name to besmirch, it metaphorically breathes a sigh of relief.

[Caneslime vs. Termites: 4 vs. 4-1]

The last few termites put up a good fight! It takes a while until the caneslime is finally termite-free!


In the courtyard of Castle Whatchamacallit...

Timothy looks at his dear bird companion in horror! Why, for the love of the gods, why?

"Hansel! Noooooo! Mister Bob! Look, look, Hansel's hurt. We gotsta fix him! What we do?! Where's da fixy-person here? We gotsa get him there 'fore he goes mushy!"

[Bob intelligence roll: ?]

"Uh... the lord of the land has a personal doctor. We could try going to him..."

[Bob helpfulness roll: 4]

Bob goes up to Hansel and picks him up!

[Bob strength roll: 2]

That is, he would pick him up if the bird had spent more time migrating and less time snacking on unwary travelers! He needs help here! Timothy looks for help!

[Search roll: 3]

There is indeed a single person in sight! Timothy approaches her!

[Timothy speech roll: 5]

"Help, help! Friend in need! Only you can save! Hurry now!"

[Person helpfulness roll: 1]

The person runs away! Well, that's really an awful thing to do! Time for Timothy to do what he does best and telekinesisisisate!

[Telekinesis roll: 4]

He picks Hansel up telekineticicamacally and pulls him behind himself as he follows Bob to the court doctor's quarters! After passing several confused-looking servants they finally reach the place! Both men and the bird approach the court doctor!

"We need you to help this bird!"

[Court doctor helpfulness roll: 6]

"Ooh, cool bird! Looks pretty banged up, though. I guess I'll take a look!"

[Court doctor medicine roll: 5+1-1]

"Man, this bird's broken all over! Still breathing, though, so that's good! Let's fix it!"

The doctor sets Hansel's bones in their proper places and binds up Hansel's limbs to prevent any further breaking! He puts Hansel on one of the beds, then turns back to Bob!

"Ah, it'll be alright. Give it a month or two of rest, though."

"Ugh, you sissies. Did i ever get anything done from you guys? See, i have a plan. See this box? This will summon somebody. It takes quite powerfull magic to make. Thus we can assume that it will summon a wizard. We go to lake victory, press the button, throw the box and the wizard takes care of the steel guardian. Sound good?"
Mike will put on the steel-infused robe and the spiked gauntlets and convince his minions to go to lake victory. If they agree, march on to lake victory!
