In Dielnin...

James vents his increasing disappointment by feeding his demolition addiction! He uses the fireball crossbow to fire at some of the houses still standing!

[Random destruction roll: 5]

He shoots three fireballs each into about five of the remaining houses, making sure not to firebolt two directly adjacent houses to allow the fire to spread more freely.

[Fire roll: 5]

The fire doesn't seem to spread very well, though. In fact, it doesn't spread at all! Must be some newfangled building material or something.

After that's done, he considers what the cause of the previous destruction might be.

[Intelligence roll: ?-1]

It's kind of obvious, really. Who else but James could have a taste for utterly pointless obliteration of everything in their respective paths? Why, his companions, of course! James is somewhat glad to know they're doing all right, although he can't help but be disappointed a little bit - they left half the town unburned! Who does that?


Inside a room of impressive fractaliciousness...

Vincent tries to explain to Vincent that Vincent is trying to escape from this world, and that Vincent and Vincent, and Vincent, and, of course, Vincent should help him do this!

[Vincent nonverbal communication roll: 3]

All the Vincents seem to have added to the confusion a little bit. However, it seems that Vincent sort of gets the message. Vincent is overjoyed at being understood by Vincent!

[Vinceclone appearance roll: 5]

Several more Vincents grow out of fractalicious Vincent's left foot! There's quite a few Vincents in the room now. Vincent invites Vincent, Vincent, Vincent, Vincent and his favorite, Vincent, along!


In Yellowglen...

In a move totally uncharacteristic of most adventurers, Timothy chooses to accept defeat and leave! He does try to look as pathetic as possible while doing so, however!

[Pathetic look roll: 1]

He looks absolutely proud and beaming as he floats off, huffing and puffing haughtily at the men! However, he remembers what he forgot just now!

"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..."

[Men reaction roll: 5]

"Castle Ferris is to the north! After that, Lichville. After that, Lake Victory. To the south is Dielnin. These are all the places you can get to on the road. Off the road, there are supposed to be other places, but you don't hear much about them on account of them being in the middle of the bloody wilderness! Now git!"

Timothy gits as only a git can, and soon is at a safe distance from Yellowglen!


Inside a basement...

Samucane approaches the pedestal with Welt!

[Samucane magic roll: 3+1]

It floats gently toward the stick, finding it to be quite ordinary-looking, if a bit twisted. However, something else provokes its attention in a moment, as five men charge in from the shadows!

[Samucane reaction roll: 2]

Samucane is blindsided by the attack!

[Men vs. Samucane: 4+2 vs. 3+1]

They grab Samucane by its body and whack it against the ground!

Welt springs into action! Against Samucane!

[Welt vs. Samucane: 2+2 vs. 1+1]

It manages to somewhat crack its surface through judicious use of its caneslime body!

~Et tu, Welt? After all I've done for you?~

~Sorry, boss, but the women offered me all-you-can-eat sauerkraut, which is quite a lot, you know. That's a far better offer than nubile young virgins or whatever!~

"Very well then. Too bad I had a trick up my sleeve!" Samucane will now cast Cane Explosion. Every molecule within a fifty by fifty foot radius will KABOOOOOM.

Timothy sighed to himself as he drifted upwards and towards the wilderness.
"A'ways makes me sad, when people's not be smarts..."

>Search the nearby forest for any signs of life! Signs of life deadly to humans, preferably! With a great hatred of mortals would be a plus, too! C'mon, forests are full of nasty stuff, right?!

At the site of an insidious betrayal...

Samucane feels that there is a force that these poor bastards need to be introduced to, and that force is nuclear fission!

[Magic roll: 6-2]

After intense concentration, Samucane manages to achieve nuclear fission. Of course, it's hardly in a lot (relatively to how many there are in the vicinity, of course) of molecules, as the process takes precision and skill that Samucane simply does not have in abundance, but there is quite a bit of heat released.

[Man 1 avoidance roll: 6]
[Man 2 avoidance roll: 4]
[Man 3 avoidance roll: 5]
[Man 4 avoidance roll: 4]
[Man 5 avoidance roll: 2]

All but one of the men leap to relatively safe corners of the room! Well, good for them. The last one remains and gets horribly burned, the flesh beginning to melt from his bones!

[Man 5 endurance roll: 6]

He screams and keeps his hold on Samucane, pulling him into the heat!

[Samucane avoidance roll: 5-1]

Samucane manages to provide adequate magically-powered resistance to his pull, however!

[Welt avoidance roll: 4]

Welt has also peacefully shuffled to a good corner of the basement where the heat hardly reaches him. Well, Samucane can't wait to see the look on his nonexistent mug when he finds out what radiation does to slimes! It's probably quite gruesome.

All five of the men attack Samucane again, with Welt providing backup!

[Men vs. Samucane: 1+2 vs. 4+1]

They lose their grip on it, allowing Samucane to roam free once more!

[Welt vs. Samucane: 2+2 vs. 3+1]

Samucane barely dodges as Welt flies past it!


In the woods near Yellowglen...

Timothy laments his misfortune as he proceeds into the deep, dark, scary woods and looks for any signs of life!

[Search roll: 2]

Despite appearances of scariness, the forest is completely devoid of any animal life!

[Forest fire roll: 5]

Wonder why?


In the location of the reason why...

Mike looks over his former host's stuff! Well, most of it is quite horribly destroyed.

[Gauntlet endurance roll: 1]

Even the metal gauntlets have melted into a pile of slag. Damn you, explosive steel-infused robes! He looks for the jug of souls!

[Jug endurance roll: 4+1]

The jug looks to be perfectly fine, though! The fire hasn't touched it at all! Wow, that's lucky. Mike picks it up and plugs it!

Souls still keep returning to it, though.

[Intelligence roll: ?]

The plug, it does nothing! It's useless! Just a piece of metal that acts as a mental, rather than a physical block for the souls inside. Add to that the fact that Ted's in there, telling everyone that they can't leave... oh gods, it all makes sense now!

Ted must be a demon of some kind!

In the Basement of Betrayal...

Samucane tries to rearrange some molecules of a man's face into a more pleasing, cane-like shape!

[Magic roll: 4+1]

One fleshy face-cane is its reward! It drops to the ground with a wet, squelching sound! One man is now missing a face!

[Man endurance roll: 3]

He falls backward and screams! Not dead, though. Aw.

[Men vs. Samucane: 4+2 vs. 6+1]

Samucane avoids the attacking men by flying up to the ceiling of the basement!

[Welt vs. Samucane: 6+2 vs. 6+1]

Welt manages to put one of its cane-pseudopodia on Samucane! It slightly mutilates Samucane's fine finish!

Mike will examine the wizard's stuff and dig deep in the mind of the wizard for knowledge.
"Thank you for your hospitability friend, what is your name? And do you have something intresting to share with me?"

((What about the teleport box?))

In a burning forest...

Mike takes a look at the teleportation box he once had!

[Teleport box endurance roll: 3+1]

It's slightly scorched, but looks functional. It appears that magicality sometimes equals non-flammability! Great! He digs through his own pockets!

Well, he seems to have a sphere of magical fire! Looks like a focus, definitely! Well, that and a few copper coins. This guy sure was poor.

~Hey, man, where's all your cash? You seem to have a severe lack of it.~

There's no answer. The wizard's soul has been displaced from his body, obviously, presumably to go to the jug.


In a basement full of traitors...

Samucane tries to rain magical exploding canes down on everyone under it while hugging the ceiling!

[Magic roll: 1+1]

Why doesn't anything that awesome ever work?

[Men vs. Samucane: 2+2 vs. 5+1]

The men try to reach Samucane! They fail, mostly due to being too unimaginative to give each other a boost! Samucane mentally laughs at them!

[Welt vs. Samucane: 5+2 vs. 4+1]

Welt manages to bash it over the body with one of its pseudopodia! Samucane falls out of the air!

Mike will put the surviving stuff in his pockets and travel to the next town on his way to Lake Victory.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.
