Inside the lair of the possibly nefarious Master...

Mike tries to find an eyepatch!

[Search roll: 6]

She finds a glass eye instead! Even better! She finds a nearby scalpel, slices her pierced eye right out of the socket and sticks the glass eye in it! There, good as new!

[Endurance roll: 1]

Yeah... good... as... new...

Mike faints from blood loss and severe shock!


Inside a pit of pinkness...

Maps tries to re-cast his decidedly underwhelming speed-climbing spell!

[Magic roll: 4-1]

He can still climb at the same rate! Awesome!

[Climbing roll: 2+1]

He decides to celebrate by climbing fifteen feet upwards! Then he takes the adventurer's privilege of a union break!

Mike is better than this! He will wake up RIGHT NOW and go to town to find him some FUCKING LEAD GLASS!

In a passed-out state...

Mike tries to snap out of her horrible passed-out state! After all, a soul-displacing creature such as she can't just pass out from cutting her bloody eye out! That would be anticlimactic!

[Waking up roll: 6]

She wakes up RIGHT THE FUCK NOW and storms right out of the building, having mentally psyched herself up to be the very best lead glass thief she can!

[Knowledge roll: ?]

She runs off in a direction a town might be in! Hey, it's her best shot at surviving this horrible existence!

[Travel roll: 3]

She runs and runs, but gets tired pretty soon. Damn lazy old bones, keepin' her down! She slows down to an excited trot!

[Encounter roll: 5]

Nothing even so much as attempts to bother her as she makes her way across the undoubtedly monster-infested wilderness! They can sense that she is a woman with a PURPOSE!

Eventually (in about five hours of walking) she reaches a town! It looks fairly small, to tell the truth. There's a blacksmith's, several houses, an inn and a few ditches for less affluent people to sleep in.

[Search roll: 2]

After looking in through every window and glancing through every door, after digging up the human refuse in every ditch and sticking her head into every chimney, she is forced to conclude that there is no lead glass in this town!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Obviously it is a very rare commodity! These bastards must be hiding it from her!

Cast it again, carry on climbing.
Repeat until top is reached.

On a cliff wall...

Maps keeps trying to climb in an upward direction! But first, let's cast a spell again!

[Magic roll: 3-1]

Well, it doesn't work. Better keep climbing!

[Climbing roll: 4]

The lack of the spell seems to actually motivate him a little bit better! He ascends about fifty feet until he gets tired!

Hooray! Only ten thousand feet left!

[Magic roll: 2-1]

Instead of making himself speed-climb, Maps manages to remove any sort of friction from his limbs! Oh dear.

[Fall roll: 6]

As he falls his leg gets caught in a spiky, rocky outcropping of the wall he was climbing, impaling and breaking it horribly, but preventing him from losing any more than, say, twenty feet of height! Hurts like hell, though!

Cast regeneration, wait for leg to heal, cast speed climbing, climb.

Go inside the cave and see if there is anything in there.

On a dangerous subterranean cliff...

Maps tries to make his leg regenerate!

[Magic roll: 4-1]

He makes it hurt less! His leg is still crushed and bent at right angles in several places! Well, he isn't getting anywhere with frictionless limbs, so it's magic time again!

[Magic roll: 4-1]

He manages to regain his old climbing ability! How fortunate! He attempts to free himself from the outcropping!

[Freeing roll: 6]

He draws his absurdly sharp sword and chops the absurdly broken leg right off! Not like he needed it, you know. After that, he proceeds to immediately jam it into the cliff wall and use it as a handhold to keep himself from falling!

[Sword sharpness roll: 3]

He begins to slowly slip downwards due to the sword slicing through the stone! Better get climbing fast!

[Climbing roll: 4+1]

He begins to climb rather rapidly, taking the sword with him! It's not very long until he's a stupendous 200 feet higher than before! He seems to have reached a ledge of some sort!


Next to the exploded remains of a bug...

Vincent goes inside the cave and looks for anything fun!

[Metal thing alarm roll: 3]

The metal creature looks at Vincent with visible disdain! Doesn't look like it's about to let him pass in peace!

Try to gesture that I come in peace and that I'm sorry about the bubble gum monster being dead.

Mike will memorize the route back to the dog-master's lair and ask the blacksmith if he can make some lead glass.

Inside a cave guarded by a metal man...

Vincent gestures apologetically about killing the creature outside!

[Nonverbal communication roll: 6]

He manages to work in a surprising amount of pathos in his nonverbal apology! Not surprising in a positive way, just surprising, almost bewildering!

[Metal Guardian reaction roll: 5]

The metal guardian gives him a compassionate hug, patting him on the back to make the sadness go away! Looks like it wants to be Vincent's friend!

The creature points at its chain in a vaguely conspiratorial manner!


In a town in the backwoods...

Mike tries to remember which way she came from!

[Memory roll: ?]

Yeah, probably west. Has to be. She heads inside the blacksmith's shop and asks the blacksmith if he can make some lead glass!

"Do I honestly look like a glassmaker to you?"

[Blacksmith knowledge roll: 2]

"And what's this 'lead glass' you're talking about? There's no such thing, you know!"

Climb onto ledge, cast regenerate on leg, write in a spell called 'jump very high'

On a horrible, terrible cliff...

Maps climbs on the ledge, feeling mighty secure up here! What could possibly harm him here? Nothing, that's what! Time to regenerate!

[Magic roll: 1-1]

He sees both his legs disintegrate as their component cells commit mass suicide! His legs shrink, then fall off, probably never to return! Well, that sucks! How is he going to climb now?

The answer is - he isn't! He's going to bounce like none have bounced before! Provided the book accepts the spell he wants, of course!

[Spell taking roll: 3]

Much of his leftover blood sticks to the page, but it's a bit smudged in places!

Write in a spell called 'pretty please can I have my legs back? Thanks in advance'
Cast it.
Then write in the bounce spell.
