[miauw62]

((Ah god. I hate timelines fucking around.))
Mike silently walk around town and see what facilities this town has.

[TopHat]

Point crossbow at man.
Demand a map.

[Harry Baldman]

In the endless void between dimensions...

Samskull ponders what this whole "stranded in space" thing could mean!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

After a short period of deliberation he comes to the conclusion that he is very far away from everything. In fact, he figures out how far!

[Samskull will roll: 2]

His mind goes totally blank for a bit. What was he thinking about again?

[Memory loss roll: 4]

Oh yes, being at the edge of the universe. Slipped his mind there for a second. Time to get himself some companionship!

[Magic roll: 4+1]

He summons several talking skulls that repeat all the jokes he knows to him, and some others that he's forgotten! Amusement achieved!


In Yellowglen, one day before the Time of Timothy...

Mike walks around the encampment and examines the facilities!

[Facilities roll: 4]

It appears to have a working latrine, several booze stills, a large orchard and vegetable garden, plus something called an Allocation Office! That's good. There's probably tons of stuff that needs allocating around here.


In the woods...

James decides that the time for messing around has come to an end. He points a crossbow at the man and demands a reward in maps!

[Man reaction roll: 6]

"What nice crossbows you have, good sir! They look familiar. My work, in fact! Let me test that idea!"

[Man magic roll: 4+1]

James feels his crossbows suddenly change direction! They are now pointing at him! Uh...

[Man clemency roll: 5]

"Yep, they're mine, all right. I've got only three words for ya: use 'em well! They were pretty good stuff for an amateur crossbow maker like myself. I've since moved on to greater projects, of course."

He looks off into the distance with a nostalgic stare, then seems to snap out of his reverie.

"But here I go, rambling on again. Time for me to go and find somebody else to obliterate."

Another crossbow appears in his hands! He fires it off into the distance!

"Why did you-"

The man disappears from sight! There is a tiny flash of light from the direction of where the crossbow bolt flew. Soon after, James hears the sound of horrifyingly powerful magical discharges come from that same direction!

[miauw62]

Mike will go to the booze stills, see if there is anything he can burn.

[TopHat]

Get my crossbows back under my control, shrug, put his x-bow into my bag, carry on walking.

[Harry Baldman]

In Yellowglen...

Mike wanders over to the booze stills and looks for stuff to burn.

[Flammability roll: 3]

Well, the booze stills are emptied of any booze they might have had in them. The tents themselves look somewhat flammable, though.


In the woods...

James tries to get the crossbows to point elsewhere!

[James crossbow control roll: 5-1]

They do so without issue! Well, that was easy.

He tries to put the crossbow he took from the man back into his bag, but it doesn't seem to be in his tails anymore. It's like it just disappeared or something!

James rolls onward in the direction of Yellowglen!

[Encounter roll: 6-1]

Nothing really seems to care about his presence, it seems. It's not too long until James reaches a ravine with a bridge over it! The ravine looks really deadly somehow. James isn't sure why, though. The bridge looks like it's recently been trashed.

[TopHat]

Yellowglen

((I'm catching up!))
cross bridge, Enter the town, look for a cartographers.

[Caerwyn]

Skulls are made of bone, correct? So...Why not summon more skulls, and then crush them into a skeleton's body? Yeah! Let's make a skeleton!

[Harry Baldman]

On the road to Yellowglen...

James tries to merrily cross the bridge!

[Bridge creature roll: 6-1]

Curiously enough, nothing at all tries to kill him! He crosses right over without incident! Onward!

[Encounter roll: 3-1]

He sees a moves on for a bit until he encounters yet another fellow on the road! The fellow smiles and waves at him!

"Hello, good sir, would you like a map? They're free, you know."

[James will roll: 6+1-1]

James is about to reach for a map, but punches himself first! Should he really be taking maps from strangers? It might fulfill his lifelong ambition, sure, but he doesn't know where it's been!

"Why are you punching yourself, sir? Do you want a map or not?"


In the endless void...

Samskull tries to introduce some logic to his magic! Skulls are made of bone, right?

Wait, no, Samskull's made of silver. It's kind of a gray area.

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Except it isn't, really. Samskull can shape skulls. The material hardly matters, it's the shape. Now that that's cleared up, Samskull does what he does best - summon more skulls!

[Magic roll: 6+1]

He summons a massive silver skull army! Cool. Time to collide it.

[Skull army collision roll: 1]

The skull army collides in the absolute worst way one could imagine, forming an object of great mass that has heated up to a very nasty degree. Samskull finds himself getting pulled towards it! Damn you, gravity!

[Samskull magic roll: 5+1-1]

He does manage to resist the pull of the new asteroid. Whew, that was a close one.

[miauw62]

((Looks like cane pilot still works))
Mike will check out the orchard, mayby eat some fruit.

[TopHat]

Who are you? And how do you know I hate maps?

[Harry Baldman]

In Yellowglen...

Mike goes to the orchard!

[Fruit roll: 1]

There's no fruit. This issue might be related to the giant fruit-eating bat that seems to be residing here!

[Bat vs. Mike: 3+2 vs. 2]

The bat picks Mike up and carries him up into the air! Mike enjoys the sweet air he's getting right up to the point where the bat lets him go!

[Mike fall damage roll: 1]

The incredible height he is dropped from and Mike's own lack of control over his new body results in him landing head-first on the ground! His head is split open by the impact!

[Mike will roll: 6]

Mike's soul comes screaming out of the wizard's body and charges toward the bat like a lightning bolt!

[Bat will roll: 6]

Sadly, the bat bastard is simply too batty to allow Mike into its brain! It seems to mentally punch him away, in fact, sending him right back into the Jug O' Souls!

Well, that was a trip!

"Back already?"

Hey, it's Ted the Demon! Fancy meeting him here! Well, not really, he's always here. But still, fancy meeting him at all!


In the woods...

James can't help but cautiously question the strange man!

"Who are you? And how do you know I hate maps?"

The man looks incredulous!

"Hate... maps? How can you hate maps? Maps are the foundation of our travel! Without maps, you can't go anywhere!"

[Man reaction roll: 6]

"You must simply be ignorant of their true beauty! You must be enlightened!"

He hands you a rolled-up scroll!

"This, my friend, this is a truly beautiful map! Its level of detail and all-around quality cannot be matched! Take a look, and then tell me you hate maps! Go on, I dare you!"

[Caerwyn]

Help form the crazy bone thing into a Bone Golem!

[Harry Baldman]

((What crazy bone thing? The thing that pulled you is a silver ball.))

[TopHat]

Look at it, suspiciously, with the glasses on.
((I dearly hope they have a filter in case this turns out to be a trick.))
