On the road to Yellowglen...

James shushes the man! He then proceeds to look at the map again!

[Will roll: 4]

He carefully studies it, making sure not to focus on any detail. After all, he's got the glasses to do that for him. With that done and the glasses charged up again, he turns the dial again!

[Will roll: 1]

He finds himself standing around in the middle of the woods. How did he get here? Who is he, anyway? All he can remember is maps. Lots of maps. They must have been really important to him to have stayed as his only memory.

[Opportunism roll: 5]

He sure has a lot of stuff on him. Must be rich. How did he become rich, he wonders?

[Intelligence roll: 4-1-1]

Hell if he has any idea. Where is he supposed to go, anyway?


In the dark void...

Samskull attempts to create truly sentient skulls!

[Magic roll: 6+1]

He focuses all of his magical might and skull power, focusing it into a single point! It coalesces into a huge skull of pure skull-themed energy and magicality! It looks at Samskull, its creator!

[Skull sentience roll: 1]

It floats up to Samskull and tries to eat it!

[Giant Skull vs. Samskull: 4+2 vs. 4+1]

It manages to chew off a single chunk of Samskull's skull face! Damn, those magical teeth sure hurt!

In the endless void...

Samskull tries to dominate his rebellious creation!

[Magic roll: 4+1]

The skull calms down. Now it just stares at Samskull like an idiot. Well, that sure helps!


In the woods near... what was it?

? tries to remember stuff!

[Remembering roll: 1]

It's all coming back to him now! He is John "Maps" Johnson, and he is on a quest to find the Holy Map of Pacitarius! He knows this for certain, and cannot be dissuaded in any way! He even has the divinely blessed holy stomach of Pacitarius to prove it! And the divinely granted snail abomination body of Pacitarius to confirm it!

Now! Sam will get the skull to open a space-time rift by eating space and time so that he (Sam!) can get back to the normal world!

In the skull-filled void...

Samskull tries to get the skull to eat some spacetime!

[Skull obedience roll: 1]

Samskull is, like, made of spacetime, right? He sure looks tasty.

[Megaskull vs. Samskull: 5+2 vs. 3+1]

It bites off a sizable chunk of Samskull's silver skull! Samskull begins floating off into the distance!

[Samskull will roll: 2]

Oh gods, that's awful. Samskull feels its unlife force seep out!

[Samskull will roll: 1-1]

It leaves the frisbee-like skull in ever-increasing quantities!

[Samskull will roll: 3-2]

Oh, hell's bells. Undone by its own ridiculously stupid creation, Samskull begins floating off into the distance, half-eaten and totally alone in its final moments! Stranded at the edge of the universe after being abused, destroyed and mutilated in countless ways, Samskull feels that he really could have been a real contender.

[Megaskull hunger roll: 1]

That is, until he gets chewed up even further by the giant skull! Wonder when it will realize that it can't actually eat?

Samskull silently curses the awful vagaries of skull magic as he quietly (mostly due to nobody being there to hear him scream) passes away! His soul leaves the sordid remnants of his body and seems to travel an infinite distance in but a millisecond! It finds itself in a room!

Hey, this place looks familiar.

"Glad to see you could make it. We are in great need of your aid."

Samskull has perished horribly at the edge of the universe!

((Awww, I liked Sam.... Making everything Cane/Skull related just to achieve ultimate power.... Wait, this is Samuel Samucane Samskull I'm condemning! Chances are even his eternal servitude as a soul-slave will be dementedly interesting.))

Somewhere in the woods...

Vincent searches around for any signs of civilization! There have to be some, right?

[Search roll: 1]

He finds a cave! Caves are the highest form of civilization, Vincent thinks. Why else would they be humanity's first choice when it comes to dwellings?

He goes right into the cave, expecting a warm welcome! He is met instead by a strange-looking creature! It is made of metal and chained to a wall!

As Vincent approaches, it begins to holler crazily!

[? roll: ?]

He hears furious clicking come from the darkness, then sees a rock hit the creature! The creature goes silent, though it still seems to be watching Vincent suspiciously!


On the road to... uh...

Maps tries to remember more about himself!

[Memory roll: 5]

Well, he had to go to Lake Victory, he knows that much. And it was because this asshole necromancer told him to. And he can't say no because his soul is bound to him. Must be a crazy story behind that, Maps believes.

Perhaps there is some holy relic of Pacitarius there that the necromancer wants? There's lots of temples there, apparently.

In a glass box of utter terror...

Mike watches as the woman puts down the lightning machine and opens another box!

[Box contents roll: 5]

She pulls out some kind of staff!

"Ooh! What's this?"

"Try it."

[Experimentation roll: 6]

She points the staff at the glass box of souls!

"ACTIVATE!"

Nothing happens.

"OBLITERATE!"

Still nothing.

"WORK, DAMMIT!"

A giant bolt of magical power comes out of the staff and strikes the box!

[Box structural integrity roll: 5]

It doesn't even put a scratch on the thing!

"Well, this looks pretty useless. Can't even break glass."

"Yes, quite."

[Experimentation roll: 1]

She throws it into the corner!

"USELESS PIECE OF CRAP!"

The staff begins to glow terribly and magically!

"Uh oh."

[Master intelligence roll: ?]

"Maybe we..."

[Woman intelligence roll: ?]

"SHOULD RUN LIKE HELL!"

[Woman escape roll: 5]
[Master escape roll: 4+1]

Both of the weirdos run out of the room, watching the action from the door!

The staff begins to glow blindingly, then explodes in a particularly violent and deadly fashion, engulfing most of the room in magical flames!

[Box structural integrity roll: 6]

The box provides a counterforce to the explosive blast! It cracks in the process, though!

[Crack roll: 6]

It looks large enough for Mike and Ted to slip out! In fact, it's large enough to suck them right out! Both souls are pulled toward the nearest soul possessors - the Master and the woman!

[Woman will roll: 3]

Mike manages to infiltrate himself inside the woman's brain while Ted goes for the dog!

[Master will roll: 6]

The master emits a bark of such power that it blows Ted away!

[Ted will roll: 3]

Ted tries to get inside the mind of a rat skulking nearby!

[Rat will roll: 4]

The rat shows remarkable mental fortitude, however, resisting the power of Ted!

Ted's soul, lacking a suitable host, slowly fades away!

~Well, to the Demon of Light I go...~

Mike, meanwhile, remains as an unseen force in the woman's brain! He believes he could influence her actions to some degree if he tried hard enough!

Well then, off to lake victory. Avanti!

In the woods...

Mr. Maps takes a look at the map to see where Lake Victory is!

[Will roll: 4]

It's to the north! By Pacitarius, that's a beautiful map! Definitely one of the top three most beautiful he's seen so far. It might not be holy, but it's the next best thing! Why, the delightfully drawn golden border is enough to-

Ahem. Lake Victory is to the north. Better go there. Now.

Maps goes forth!

After a while, he reaches an odd sight! A bit of the forest and road in front of him is just... gone, buried in some gray and sticky substance! However, that's not the strangest part. The strangest part is that there is an island covered in trees floating right above it!
