[Caerwyn]

Sam will summon floating, giggling flaming skulls to attack the minions to amuse the Lord of Lies!

[TopHat]

((heh. Samuel Samucane Samuskull. I wonder what next.))

[Yoink]

"Gotsa hafta do this a' hard way..."

>Turn invisible! Or at least hard to see!

>Once I'm at least partially invisible, sneak back into Yellowglen and initiate operation: Scary-crow Liberation.

Spectral warpaint optional.

[Firelordsky]

Explore this for an exit to Bernies's world along with the Vincents.

[Harry Baldman]

On the road to Yellowglen...

James tries to grab the crossbow from the man!

[Agility roll: 5-1]

He succeeds in doing so! He proceeds to shoot at any wildlife or passersby he sees!

[Passerby roll: 2]
[Wildlife roll: 3]

Well, there's a single squirrel in a tree. That could work.

[James vs. Squirrel: 4 vs. 3+2]

The squirrel scampers away just as the bolt is about to hit it! How unfortunate for James.

[Man agility roll: 2]

The man just stands around, waiting for James to give the crossbow back!

"Had your fun? Now give it back. I need to shoot you with it."


In the realm of the Lord of Lies...

Samskull considers that perhaps slapstick would be the best form of entertainment for the good ol' Lord of Lies. It takes life too seriously, Samskull thinks.

[Magic roll: 4+1]

Giggling, cackling skulls on fire appear everywhere! They fly around and bite the minions! They are not seriously hurt, but it sure does look amusing when they yelp! Silly demons!

[Lord of Lies reaction roll: 2]

The Lord of Lies sits on the throne and sighs.

"I COME BACK FROM A FIGHT WITH THE DEMON OF TRUTH AND THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO AMUSE ME? SERIOUSLY, NOW, BRING ME MY JESTER."


In the woods outside Yellowglen...

Timothy tries to turn invisible to befuddle and confuse his enemies!

[Invisibility roll: 4]

He becomes very, very difficult to see! Not perfectly invisible, no, but the next best thing, definitely.

Armed with this new ability, he tries to sneak back inside Yellowglen!

[Bandit perception roll: 2-2]

The men assembled there don't notice him at all. Unsurprising, what with Timothy being invisible and intangible. He looks for magical scary-crows!

[Search roll: 6]

He finds an ominous-looking trap door! Phasing through it and going underground, he finds a tunnel! After following it for twenty or so minutes, he enters a large cave and finds an amazing sight - fully animated straw people practicing unarmed combat, repeating various phrases and standing in perfect rows as another straw person yells motivational words at them!

Looks like a respectable bunch of magical scary-crows, yes.


Inside a fractalicious room...

Vincent and Vincent, Vincent, Vincent, Vincent and Vincent move out to explore the spiral for an exit to the world that Bernie inhabits!

[Exploration roll: 5]

The six Vincents (the legless one needing to be carried) move upwards until they find themselves on what Vincent saw from the outside - the open floor with the glowing thingy!

[? roll: ?]

Absolutely nothing is here except what Vincent presumes is a magical, swirling, glowing gate. It glows with tendrils of blinding light!

[Caerwyn]

Samuskull will turn the skulls into mini gladiators, armed with skull swords and shields, and have them duel!

[Harry Baldman]

Inside the realm of the Lord of Lies...

Samskull tries to make the skulls into mini-gladiators! That are made of skulls! And armed with skulls!

[Magic roll: 2+1]

He manages to make his skulls begin to bump into each other awkwardly! They're still unarmed skulls that giggle a lot, though!

[Lord of Lies reaction roll: 3]

"WELL, AT LEAST THEY'RE NOT TRYING TO KILL MY MINIONS. HEH, ONE OF THEM BUMPED INTO THE OTHER'S EYE."

[Caerwyn]

Samuel will now give the skulls little skull soldiers, and have the skull generals lead some cool-looking strategic warfare!

[Harry Baldman]

In the Realm of Lies...

Samskull tries to make the what he terms the Skull Games much more strategic and exciting!

[Magic roll: 4+1]

He summons small skull armies for the larger skulls to lead! They meet each other on the field of honorable battle!

[Battle roll: 5]

A dramatic conflict ensues on the field of battle! Decisive victories, humiliating retreats, amazing feats of tactics and all manner of personal tragedies as skull-brother kills skull-brother ensue!

The skulls seem to be able to battle like this indefinitely!

[Lord of Lies reaction roll: 6]

"LOOK AT THE CUTE LITTLE THINGS WAGING ETERNAL WAR ON ONE ANOTHER. IT'S ALMOST ENOUGH TO MAKE ME SQUEAL WITH JOY. LET'S EXPERIMENT, THEN. MINIONS, FIGHT EACH OTHER FOR MY AMUSEMENT!"

[Minion battling roll: 1]

The minions kill each other in seconds, showing great efficiency and exceedingly poor sense of drama.

"YOU'RE AWFUL AT THIS, MINIONS! WHY CAN'T YOU HAVE A BETTER SENSE OF SHOWMANSHIP? HONESTLY, WHAT DO I PAY YOU FOR?"

The minions shrug!

"YES, OF COURSE I KNOW THAT I DON'T PAY YOU. IT'S A FIGURE OF SPEECH."

The demon resumes watching the Skull Games!

"HONESTLY, THESE THINGS SHOULD BE TOURING THE WORLD. I HAVE MANY FRIENDS THAT WOULD JUST LOVE TO SEE THE LITTLE GUYS."

[Caerwyn]

"Well, then, let's leave them there, My Lord. They can never die, or stop, so they'll continue to battle, for eternity...Plus, if you get tired of them, you could always toss 'em at your foes. Always good fun! Now, uh, can I ask for some help? Do you know anything of Necromancy, with your infinite wisdom and lies?

[Harry Baldman]

In the Realm of Lies...

Samskull tries to communicate with the Lord of Lies!

[Communication roll: 2]

He fails miserably! It appears that the Lord of Lies isn't big on telepathy. Probably because it's harder to lie that way.

[Lord of Lies perception roll: 3]

The Lord of Lies looks over at the squashed shape of Samskull!

[Lord of Lies putting two and two together roll: ?]

It waves its giant horrible-looking hand and keeps watching the skulls fighting!

[Lord of Lies entertainment roll: 3]

It appears to be getting a bit bored.

[Caerwyn]

Samuskull will rip one of the minion's skulls out of their heads, and float it around. For fun!

[miauw62]

Mike will head into Yellowgen, but stay hidden.

[Harry Baldman]

In the Realm of Lies...

Samskull tries to rip out one of the minions' skulls with magic! Deskullinization, he calls it!

[Magic roll: 6+1]

He manages to rip out a great many skulls from a single minion! More than the minion was supposed to have, in fact! The skulls fly around the room, splashing demon blood everywhere!

[Lord of Lies reaction roll: 1]

"ALRIGHT, WHO DID THAT? GIVE YOURSELF UP AND I'LL KILL YOU SLIGHTLY LESS. NOBODY KILLS MY MINIONS AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!"

[Lord of Lies investigation roll: 5]

"COULD IT BE THE ONLY THING THAT ARRIVED OF THE JESTER'S BODY? THIS SQUASHED SILVER TRINKET? I THINK IT JUST MIGHT, MY MINIONS! LET THIS BE A LESSON TO ALL WHO UNJUSTLY MOLEST YOU!"

The Lord of Lies picks Samskull up and hurls it into the interdimensional void!

[Samskull void flight roll: 2]

Samskull soars through the void for what seems like half an eternity! Eventually, it comes to a sudden stop, bumping up against something!

Oh dear. It's the edge of the dimensions, literally as far away from anything as is possible.

Seriously, that kind of sucks, to tell the truth.


In Yellowglen...

Mike tries to go into Yellowglen, but finds that he is already there! In fact, the liquor tent is still as on fire as he remembers from a second ago.

Mike successfully stays hidden as well! Mostly due to nobody being around.

Spoiler: GM Note (click to show/hide)

There's a bit of a time difference between Timothy and Mike. Mike is actually in Yellowglen the day before Timothy, just so you know. So far, the timestream has stayed consistent, but will it last?

[Caerwyn]

Samuskull will ponder this, and summon some talking skulls to amuse himself!
