Nobody says you can't be waitlisted again.
And hey, an after-realm is better than what we get. I'll probably sell my soul too. That is, if Bernie won't smite me for that.

Well, true, but there will never be another Samuel/Samucane/Samuskull/Samudead.

Sorta defeats the purpose, y'know...I am tempted, but maybe in the future.

In the mind and right hand of a woman...

Mike tries to make yet another power-grab!

[Mike will roll: 2]

He can't seem to do anything other than make her right hand's fingers wiggle in a not entirely threatening fashion. Well, crap. MAybe some kind of subconscious-wrestling maneuver?

[Mike vs. Woman's Subconscious: 4 vs. 3]

He manages to make the woman's subconscious accept his presence for now! Phew. That could have gone worse.


In a cave of dankest darkness...

Vincent tries to hide!

[Hiding roll: 5+1]

He manages to make himself completely invisible to everyone by pretending to be a skeletal corpse! Unsurprisingly, he's very good at it!

[Cave dweller appearance roll: 1]

He feels something approach him! After taking a short look he ascertains that it is indeed a giant chitinous insect creature!

[Creature vs. Vincent: 6+1 vs. 6+2]

He rolls away just in time to avoid a serrated claw to the sternum! My, how impolite of these people! Sending vile creatures to attack him! Have manners really disappeared since he went to the alien world?

Mike will sneak up to her subconcious and offer her some subconcious potions! POISONED subconcious potions!

Inside an unstable woman's mind...

Mike tries to perform an underhanded maneuver to take control of his intended victim!

[Ruse roll: 1]

He attempts to subconsciously stroll up to the woman's subconscious form!

~Would you like a potion, ma'am?~

~Why, yes! Yes, I would! Say, they wouldn't happen to be poison, would they?~

~Of course not! In fact, I'll drink one myself!~

Mike pulls out the one potion he knows he didn't subconsciously poison and drinks it!

Oh, wait, it was the one potion he definitely did poison! What a silly mistake for a potion salesman to make, really!

[Mike endurance roll: 2]

Mike passes out from the poison! Well, this was an ill-advised course of action!

[Relocation roll: 3]

When Mike wakes up, he realizes that he can no longer control the woman's right hand! Dammit, why doesn't the potion trick ever work?

Heal my legs, look for something to write with.

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.

Deep down a hole in the world...

Maps tries to heal his poor, poor legs!

[Magic roll: 2-1]

He makes them hurt more. A lot more. The common map adventurer was not meant to endure such pain!

[Intelligence roll: 5+1]

Luckily, he is no common adventurer! In fact, he has the perfect spell to heal himself up! He wrote it himself on the pages of the spellbook in his own snail-vampire blood! It's called "HEAL ME NOW, DAMN YOU"!

[Magic roll: 1+1]

Curiously enough, it doesn't work at all! Well, screw you too, life magic! Well, at least he has blood and a finger to write with. That's a plus.

Write in another spell called 'heal me before I insult your mother in the most cruellest fashion and EAT A KITTEN.'
Cast it.
Then write in a spell called 'Levitation'

In a pit of despair...

Maps believes that verbal abuse written in blood is definitely the best form of magic he's ever heard of! He writes a new spell into one of the blank pages of the book!

[Spell taking roll: 1]

The book doesn't seem to like the idea of insulted mothers and devoured kittens, as the blood all collects into a single clump that heats to boiling point and launches itself at Maps' face!

[Maps dodge roll: 4+1-1]

He manages to move his head aside before his beautiful face is totally burned by scalding blood! It still lands on his body, but what are you going to do? Honestly, Maps is in so much pain right now he's losing any sensation of it! A little more barely fazes him.

With that attempted, if not strictly done, he tries to write in another spell called Levitation!

[Spell taking roll: 2]

The blood merely rolls off the pages of the book, making a mess on the ground! Well, at least it didn't try to burn off his face this time!

Figure out what went wrong with the casting of 'HMN, DY!'.
Cast it.
Then write in a spell called 'Now lower gravity and let me jump out.'/b]

In the darkest depths of the earth...

Maps tries to figure out what went wrong with "HEAL ME NOW, DAMN YOU!"

It's something obvious, isn't it?

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

Difficult to say what, exactly! Better try anyway, though!

[Magic roll: 3-1]

Once again, nothing seems to happen! Well, that's awfully boring. Seriously, there's something he's missing.

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

Of course! It's obvious!

Maps wipes off the words "DAMN YOU!" and writes "PLEASE?" instead! There, that should work!

[Magic roll: 3+1]

There we go! Maps begins to regenerate at a nice pace. He is also, you know, not in horribly debilitating pain. For once. It's kind of difficult for him to remember a time when he wasn't in pain, really. It's all a blur to him. This... painless existence seems like something entirely new for him!

Well, with that behind him, Maps tries to write another spell into the book! It's called Gravity Weakening!

[Spell taking roll: 2]

Seriously, what's up with these stainless pages? They must secrete gasoline or something.

Write 'thank you very much.'.
Then write a speed-climbing spell.
