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?~
