On the road to Yellowglen...

James decides to put on his reading glasses and take a look at the map! He maintains a healthy and proper veneer of suspicion while doing this, of course!

It really is beautiful. The surrounding area on the map is rendered in a painstakingly detailed and incredibly beautiful fashion! Oh dear, James might be falling in love!

[James will roll: 5+1-1]

He manages to turn back to the man before losing himself in the beauty, though. Holy crap, that's a great map!

"See? What did I tell you! A beautiful map, is it not? It's yours if you want it."


In the starless, timeless void...

Samskull tries to make a bone golem due to reasons of fornicating with the concept of logic.

[Magic roll: 2-2]

He manages to add massive amounts of lead to the silver sphere and compress it severely! The sphere begins to pull him toward itself much more strongly!

[Samskull magic roll: 4+1]

Not strongly enough to keep him from magicking himself away, though. Samskull is still as safe as a flattened silver skull floating in a void possibly could be!

((Samucane?))
Really? Do you have any cartographer's equipment as well? And could you teach me the ways of the cartographer?

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.

In the company company of a map-giver...

James asks the man if he has any cartographer's equipment!

[Man reaction roll: 4]

"Why, no. I didn't make these maps. Got them from an agreeable foreign fellow. He made them, I believe."

He scratches his chin.

"Not that it would matter, of course. I believe he is out of our collective reach anyway."


In the eternal void...

Samskull attempts to create a mighty skull golem for some nebulous reason!

[Magic roll: 6+1]

He summons a great mass of magical skulls!

[Golem shaping roll: 6]

Then he puts together a supremely beautiful creation - a huge golem that looks entirely like a normal human being when viewed from a distance! It's a magnificent work of sculptural impressionism!

[Gravitational pull roll: 4]

The golem is slowly attracted to the silver-lead sphere! It looks at you with what appears to be sadness!


On alien roof...

Vincent and the Doppel Gang run through the portal! There is a huge flash of light followed by a horrible stream of disturbing imagery!

[Vincent will roll: 4]
[Doppel Gang will roll: 1]

While Vincent manages to stay completely conscious, his compatriots do not! The portal magic runs wild on them!

[Portal wild effect roll: 2]

While Vincent maintains a straight path onward, the Doppel Gang all fly off to the side one by one, flying into different gates! Where they've gone, the demons only know.

[Portal destination roll: ?]

He seems to have landed in a forest of some kind! Looks like his own world at first glance. And second glance. And third glance. And first stare.

SAVE THE GOLEM! GIVE IT AN ANCHOR MADE OF SKULLS, SO AS TO HOLD ITSELF IN SAFETY!

I shall create a new world.

I am Samuskull...

"Hello! Youse is da scary-crows, right?"
Timothy smiled disarmingly as he walked towards them, hands raised with palms outwards.
"Maybe you is wants a real fun job, one of you? Real excitin', not boring like sits aroun' here all day. Does them nasty peoples in da town make you stays in here? That not sound real fun to me."

>Approach the scarecrows in a friendly manner!

>Offer them an exciting new job opportunity, far away from this dreary little place!

At the edge of everything...

Samskull tries to save his golem from the horrible pull of creation!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

He tries to summon an anchor for the golem!

[Magic roll: 2+1]

He summons a large skull for the golem to hold on to! The golem grabs it!

Now the golem is slowly moving toward a molten lead-silver asteroid while hugging a large skull. Wonderful.


In the Lair of the Scarecrows...

Timothy approaches the magical scary-crows and says a warm hello!

"Hello! Youse is da scary-crows, right?"

[Scary-crow reaction roll: 3]

One of the scary-crows turns around and begins to yell at Timothy!

"WE ARE THE MAGNIFICENT STATE OF THE STRAW PEOPLE, NOT SCARY-CROWS! YOU WILL ADDRESS ME AS CITIZEN LOUIS!"

Timothy doesn't pay attention to this, trying to smile disarmingly!

[Smiling roll: 6]

He smiles very disarmingly indeed! His grin is as wide as a canyon, his teeth resembling enlarged kernels of corn in both shape and color! Citizen Lou takes a step back, looking rather disarmed.

"Maybe you is wants a real fun job, one of you? Real excitin', not boring like sits aroun' here all day. Does them nasty peoples in da town make you stays in here? That not sound real fun to me."

[Scary-crow reaction roll: 3]

"NON-CITIZEN! MAKE YOURSELF KNOWN BEFORE I ANSWER YOU! THE MAGNIFICENT STATE OF THE STRAW PEOPLE WOULD ALSO APPRECIATE IT IF YOU STOPPED SCARING THE NEWLY-BUILT!"


Same town, different time...

Mike waits for someone to pick up the jug!

[Bat greed roll: 5]

Somebody does! The bat! It picks up the jug and carries it away, perhaps sensing its power!

[Bat lair roll: 4]

After a few hours of flying, the bat lands somewhere! It's warm and nice here, it seems. Mike hears a voice! A female voice with a certain softness to it!

"Ah! Batty! What have you brought for me today? Oh my, a jug!"

[Woman identification roll: 4]

She picks it up and shakes it a bit!

"Well! Sounds like souls in there, all right. You've done well, Batty! I'll make sure that the master gives you a double portion of happy-happy today!"

She grabs the jug and begins carrying it off somewhere at a great speed!


In a forest that seems normal enough...

Vincent begins to explore the forest!

[Exploration roll: 2]

There is literally nothing interesting here for many miles around! Well, crap. What's a stranded skeleton to do?

Several hours as the bat flies from Yellowglen...

Mike tries to trip the woman carrying him before she puts him at the mercy of some horrible slavemaster!

[Telekinesis roll: 2]

He concentrates, but the woman moves too fast and shakes too much for him to be able to find and pull on her leg! He is carried off into a room that sounds pretty big!

"Master, master! I have something for you!"

"What?"

"A jug!"

"And?"

"It has souls in it!"

"Oh."

"Think of the possible applications!"

"Indeed."

"Batty brought it. He should have extra happy-happy today!"

"Yes."

[Woman idea roll: 4]

"Should I open it?"

[Master intelligence roll: ?]

"No."

"Oh, of course. Soul Box."

"Yes."


In the darkest depths of the forgotten void...

Samskull tries to improve his anchor a bit by increasing its weight through skull addition!

[Magic roll: 2+1]

Now it's two skulls glued together with magic! That still doesn't help much with gravity.

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Perhaps increased weight and density won't help? After all, it's getting pulled toward the silver-lead sphere without anything to hang on to.

[Distance roll: 5]

The skull golem's speed and distance are still manageable enough for Samskull to have plenty of time to think of something.
