"Oh, that's good, good!" Timothy was greatly relieved. He smiled his creepy, ghoulish smile at the doctor.
"Thanks much! Maybe I's can do stuff for you, help, yes? 'Cause you's help Hansel already, so I help you with some thing."

>Leave Hansel to his bed rest, offer assistance to the doctor as payment! I always wanted to be a nurse-- well, not really, but it should be fun, right?! Bob can help, too!

>Oh, and keep an eye out for any replies to that notice, 'course.

On the road to Yellowglen...

Mike tries to rally the rabble serving her!

"Ugh, you sissies. Did I ever get anything done with you guys? See, I have a plan. See this box? This will summon somebody. It takes powerful 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?"

[Reaction roll: 3]

"Yeah, that might work, but you forget that there are four other islands we have to pass to even get to the Temple. And they're full of critters that'll kill you without a second thought, probably without a first thought as well."

"Uh, yeah, there's, like, stuff that'll explode your head if you even get near."

Mike, feeling rather disappointed, puts on the steel-infused robe and spiked gauntlets! After removing the various adaptations from the robe, it fits her nicely!


Inside the court doctor's quarters...

Timothy, feels very grateful to the doctor!

"Oh, that's good, good! Thanks much! Maybe I's can do stuff for you, help, yes? 'Cause you's help Hansel already, so I help you with some thing."

[Doctor reaction roll: 3]

"Uh... do you have any skills? Aside from three legs and poor sense of grammar, no offense?"

Timothy thinks for a bit. Does he? Does he really?

((Wait, the bandit leader is a her?))
"Where else are you gonna go? Everybody in the entire land knows our faces! If we can pull this raid off, we can anonymously retire in extreme comfort!"
Mike will keep convincing them!

On the bandit-ridden road to Yellowglen...

Mike tries to get the four minions to go with her! After all, can't have too many meatshields!

"Where else are you gonna go? Everybody in the entire land knows our faces! If we can pull this raid off, we can anonymously retire in extreme comfort!"

[Bandit reaction roll: 4]

"Well, yes, we are getting a bit too infamous for our own good, but would getting ourselves killed really help us? I mean, we've got nothing to protect us from whatever lives there near the lake. It's like Dan here said, there's stuff that'll explode your head, after all."

Timothy thought. And thought. And thought a bit more.
Then a slow smile crept across his deformed, spectral face.
"I can do lots an' lots a' tricks, just you waits!"

>Telekinetically juggle various bits and pieces of the doctor's equipment!

>Phase through some furniture!

>Turn invisible!

>Generally demonstrate my usefulness! I dunno, maybe I could phase into patients to have a look or something, or perform delicate surgeries telekinetically? All sorts of possibilities!

Apply for the job!



"I'd be real help, yeh? I gets the job?? Maybe Bob helps out, too! An' Hansel when he better!"

"Fine, if you want to be killed by angry mobs of villagers, i'll just get on my way then."
Mike will make sure they follow him!

On the road to Yellowglen...

Mike tries reverse psychology!

"Fine, if you want to be killed by angry mobs of villagers, I'll just get on my way then!"

[Bandit reaction roll: 5]

"Okay, fine, if you say so, leader. We'll follow you there. I trust you, and so do the rest. We hope you will not let us down."


Inside the court doctor's quarters...

Timothy, eager to demonstrate his usefulness, tries to telekinetically juggle dangerous pieces of surgical equipment!

[Telekinesis roll: 2]

Perhaps fortunately for those present, he can't manage to muster enough power to do so! Well then, how about phasing through furniture? Timothy can do that! He phases through all the walls and floats around generally being intangible!

[Doctor reaction roll: 1]

"And how in the bloody hell is that useful to me?"

Timothy tries to turn invisible!

[Turning invisible roll: 3]

He becomes slightly more transparent!

"Seriously, what use do I have for that?"

[Timothy medicine roll: 1]

Timothy phases inside the doctor!

"Yep, you have stone liver!"

"Get out of here!"

Sam will congratulate the slime, and give to a choice: Would it rather stay with the Slime Kingdom, or follow Sam to (Most likely) death on the surface?

In the tunnel to the surface...

Samucane, proud of its slime companion, gives it what it has never given a servant: a choice! Will it follow Samucane to the surface and meet what is almost certain death at the hands of various menaces or stay in the relative safety of the Slime Kingdom!

[Caneslime loyalty roll: 4]

"Eh, I'll follow you! Got nothing better to do!"

On the road to Yellowglen...

Mike leads the bandits to the foreboding northern lands!

[Encounter roll: 2]

They enter some unusually dark-looking woods!

"Aw, crap. We're getting ambushed, aren't we?"

Interestingly enough, they aren't!

[Perception roll: 2]

Mike looks behind herself!

Nothing's following her. She looks into the woods!

She sees nothing. Oh well, better carry on.


Inside a tunnel to the surface...

Samucane and the caneslime try to go to the surface! Hopefully no termites interrupt them again!

[Samucane magic roll: 6+1-2]

Samucane speedily moves ahead while the caneslime follows behind!

~Uhm, dude.~

~What is it, minion?~

~You see, I don't have a name. It's beginning to really bother me. Like I don't have any sense of identity or something. Almost enough to make you feel existentially threatened, really. Mind giving me one? Preferably something not stupid?~

Samucane thinks for a bit!

[Encounter roll: 2]

A cave bear right in front of it waits politely until it begins to pay attention!

"Ssh. Look around, do you see anything? I see nothing."
Mike will ignore the feeling that something is watching them and continue to the next village/city/location of importance!

In an unusually foreboding forest...

Mike turns to her group!

"Ssh. Look around, do you see anything? I see nothing."

[Bandit perception roll: 5]

"Definitely something. Look over there!"

He points to a bush! There appears to be a man hiding in it!

[Man reaction roll: 6]

The man begins to scream!

"YOU CAN'T SEE ME! LOOK AWAY, DAMN YOU, OR I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL!"

Mike is puzzled by this man! It seems like he might not be entirely sane!
