In a flaming forest...

Mike tries to burn that pesky second-in-command!

[Mike magic roll: 1+1]

He produces a miniscule spark with his hand! Crap.

[Second-in-command vs. Mike: 6+1 vs. 6+1]

He does the limbo with the skill of a much younger man, letting the second-in-command's sword sail over him!


In Dielnin...

James, feeling particularly evil today, rolls up to the two people on the street! He picks up the child with his tail and lifts him into the air!

[Threatening roll: 2]

He looks with what he believes is a menacing stare at the man! In fact, he's just staring blankly!

[Man reaction roll: 6]

The man looks at James wide-eyed!

[Man fear roll: 4]

He remains standing still in front of him, however!

"Give me back my son, please. I've already lost enough today."

[Threatening roll: 1]

James hands him back the child!

"Say, do you know what happened to the cartographer? Where is he?"

[Man reaction roll: 4]

"Dead. Killed by looters. They his maps, all his livelihood, out into the street and burned it. Now, leave me to my own tragedies. Please."

((Sorry. I think that was me. My ghostly friends rampaged this town pretty hard. I wonder why there is still so much left of it after all it has been trough.))
Mike will concentrate on the fire and unleash it all onto the second-in-command!

Do you know where the looters went? And/or where I can find a map?

Sam will let them free! They shall run in terror, and Welt shall pick anyone he so desires!

Inside a burning forest...

Mike tries to unleash all the flames he's got!

[Mike magic roll: 1+1]

It doesn't look like the flames are coming.

[Second-in-command vs. Mike: 4+1 vs. 4+1]

Mike whirls away from the second-in-command as the skilled bandit goes for another swing! He should really be more careful with that.


In Dielnin...

James asks the man where the looters went!

[Man reaction roll: 4]

"Jumped into a pit of demons, I hope. Wretched sons of whores."

"Do you know where I could find a map?"

"No. Not really. Please, leave."


Near a village full of people...

Samucane tries to tear down the wall of canes!

[Magic roll: 1+1]

It doesn't work! Crap. Maybe an opening?

[Magic roll: 2+1]

It makes the opening slightly larger!

[Women crawling roll: 5]

The women leave through the opening one by one, using their slim figures to their advantage. However, instead of running in terror, they charge at Samucane!

[Samucane reaction roll: 5]

Samucane immediately tries to fly up to a better vantage point!

[Samucane magic roll: 3+1]

It flies up to where the women can't easily reach, then tells Welt to take them down however he pleases!

Welt proceeds to look scary and drive the women away, following them until they've disappeared into the woods! He then returns!

"Well, did I do well enough?"

Mike will telekinetically break the second-in-commands neck and pick up whatever is left of his stuff.

Do you have any idea at all of anyone I could get a map off of?

In the burning forest...

Mike tries to fall back on telekinesis again!

[Telekinesis roll: 6]

Time seems to slow down, coming nearly to a stop as Mike concentrates as hard as he can and tears the second-in-command's head clean off! The second-in-command falls down dead! Well, that takes care of that. He tries to undress him and take his axe!

[Undressing roll: 5]

Mike finds it relatively easy to remove the bandit's scorched padded armor! He finds it equally easy to take his axe! Well, that takes care of that!

Suddenly, he notices something happening! Large amounts of souls seem to be returning to the jug! Holy crap, that's a lot of souls. Somebody must be killing his compatriots en masse.


In Dielnin...

James asks if the man knows anyone at all who could provide him with a map!

[Man reaction roll: 6]

"Look, man, I've tried to be polite to you, I tried to tactfully tell you to go away. Let me put it this way. I JUST LOST MY FAMILY. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU CAN GET A MAP. NOW FUCK OFF ALREADY!"

He hangs his head low and drops to his knees, then sighs.


In a village somewhere...

Samucane expresses poorly-hidden disappointment to Welt! It is about to set off west, but Welt suddenly pipes up!

~I sense something in the village! Something powerful! An artifact, maybe?~

Grab the kid, drop-kick him as far as possible, leave the man and look round for someone who looks like a traveller, explorer, adventurer, or other such person who carries maps around.

In Dielnin...

James tries to pick up and dropkick the kid into the distance!

[James grabbing roll: 2-1]

As he reaches for the kid, the man pulls out a dagger and tries to stick it into James' human face!

[Man vs. James: 1+1 vs. 3]

He misses rather badly, losing hold on the dagger! James tries to grab onto the kid again!

[James grabbing roll: 6-1]

He gets a good hold on the kid and chucks him into the air!

[Dropkick roll: 2-1]

He uses all of his muscle to fly forward at the kid! However, he miscalculates somewhat. Somewhat terribly, actually. He flies right past the falling kid and straight into the flaming ruins of the house!

[James fire roll: 2]

Oh good gods he's blasphemed against, that really, really burns! James rolls out of the ruins, really on fire now!

[James endurance roll: 5]

It takes him a short while, but he puts the fire out eventually!

[Man and Boy escape roll: 3]

The man and his child seem to be running away right now. Well. Maybe there's an explorer or adventurer he could waylay around here?

[Search roll: 2]

As James searches the town, he finds out that half of it is burned down. The other half seems to be totally deserted. A town destroyed before he even got here. How odd!


Outside a village...

Samucane allows Welt to lead him into the town! They wander through its burning streets for a while, Welt occasionally stopping to re-check all the magical fluctuations or whatever, then finally arrive at a basement door!

~There it is! Right in there! I'm sure of it!~

Welt slides over to the basement door and opens it, with Samucane following close behind!

They come inside a dank basement room. The walls are moldy and musty, the floor is made of dirt. In the middle of the room there is a wooden pedestal with a strange wooden stick placed on top. It looks fairly strange.

~That's the one, I think! Do you want to take a look or should I?~

Look around for the possible cause of this.
Also, fire-bolt a few of the remaining houses. My burninatiness will not be outmatched!

((I have a feeling Samucane is behind this destruction.))

"Awh, but--" Timothy stopped himself. These silly people were beyond reason. It was time for plan B--which he was really just making up on the spot, but hey, better than nothing.

"Oh, okays," He sighed, hanging his head and looking defeated. "If you not gonna give da scary-crow, maybe you's at least give me directings? Where's places nearby? I's go away, I just a bit lost..."

>Look very heartbroken and defeated at not getting a scarecrow!

>Ask for directions to nearby places!
