((Inb4 you now have 500 legs))

[Harry Baldman]

In a town bereft of any glassworkers...

Mike tries to think of any towns nearby that might have glassworkers!

[Local knowledge roll: ?]

There's one to the north, she thinks! In fact, it's rather famous for its mastery at glassblowing! She's not entirely clear on whether that means they'll know how lead glass is made, but it's worth a shot!

[Travel roll: 4]

She chooses the quickest route she knows of to get there!

[Encounter roll: 6]

Nothing follows her. After about three more hours of brisk walking, she has reached the glassblowing town, Bluetree! It even has a sign that says: "BLUETREE, Home Of The Finest Glass In The Realm".

Looks promising so far!


In a distant place underground...

Maps attempts to write in a leg addition spell into the book!

[Spell taking roll: 2]

Those pages could be laminated for all the good it does him! Damn slippery non-adhesive vampire snail blood! Perhaps a more receptive page should be edited?

Oh, of course! The bouncing spell! Maps tries to write in all the stuff he missed the first time around!

[Spell taking roll: 5]

Why, it's absolutely perfect now! The calligraphy on the finger-smeared blood letters in particular makes Maps feel as proud as a wizard that just killed and usurped his master!

[TopHat]

Write in spell called 'please give me my legs back'.
Cast it.
Write 'thank you' into book if successful.
Then cast bouncing spell and bounce to the surface.

[Firelordsky]

Break the chain.

[Harry Baldman]

On a ledge of pure terror...

Maps tries to add his spell to the book, except asking more nicely this time!

[Spell taking roll: 2]

The blood just rolls off! Seriously, this book is totally plotting against him! Well, better cast the bouncing spell anyway.

[Magic roll: 5-1]

As he chants the words, Maps feels a curious... charge build up within him! He feels ready for action!

Let's bounce.

[Bouncing roll: 2]

Too bad there's nothing here to really get a good bounce off of. Just stone in one direction and air in the other.


In the metal guardian's humble abode...

Vincent tries to break the chain with his halberd!

[Vincent vs. Chain: 2+1 vs. 5]

It appears to be built pretty tough! Ordinary weapons don't even put a scratch on it! He may need to get clever here.

The metal guardian eyes him expectantly!

[Yoink]

"Uh, wells, okay, if youse is really feel dat badly about Mista Louis..."
Timothy sighed and relented. "But," he said, raising one purple-tinged, spectral finger, "We can't be leavin' mista Louis here, 'cos den he tell authorities what we doin' an' the come after us to bring youse back here! So we gotsta get a wagon from someplace, ties Mista Lou up and put in there an' bring him wif us. Dat way no gets caught."
He nodded sagely.

>Appear to relent on the subject of reconciliation right now, but explain that if we leave here without Lou's permission he will warn the authorities of their escape!

>Have my new friends grab a wagon from someplace, under cover of darkness if necessary, then we will tie Citizen Lou up, load him in there, and take him with us back to Bob's house.

>Once we're underway, though, they shall be trapped in the wagon with myself and Lou and I will lead them in a mediation session!
Tea and biscuits or no tea and biscuits!!

[Firelordsky]

Look for any weak spots on the chain and look to see where the chain is attached.

[Harry Baldman]

In the lair of the scary-crows...

Timothy is rather put off by the youngster's harsh words and proclivity toward violence!

"Uh, wells, okay, if youse is really feel dat badly about Mista Louis..."

There is clearly only one solution here: he must instigate a kidnapping plot to further his own family values agenda!

Timothy sighed and relented. "But we can't be leavin' mista Louis here, 'cos den he tell authorities what we doin' an' the come after us to bring youse back here! So we gotsta get a wagon from someplace, ties Mista Lou up and put in there an' bring him wif us. Dat way no gets caught."

He nods in a manner that seems pretty sage-like to himself!

[Reaction roll: 6]

"Yeah. Yeah... yeah, we should! We'll capture him, all right. We'll capture him, and then he'll get his. Let's take the bastard down! Follow me."

The conspirators walk back to Citizen Louis!

"WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU, CITIZEN FRED? WHY HAS THIS MISCREANT NOT BEEN EXECUTED YET? MUST I DO EVERYTHING PERSONALLY?"

[Kidnapping roll: 3]

"Nah, you're not gonna do anything. You're gonna come with us."

"AND WHY WOULD I DO THAT?"

[Fred intimidation roll: 4]

"Otherwise you and my tinderbox will have a roaring game of tag, if you know what I mean."

"YOU ARE... YOU'RE... YOU'RE THREATENING ME?"

"Yes. I am. And you're just going to take it because, dry as you are, you'd go up in flames the second a spark hit you."

[Citizen Lou cooperation roll: 2+1]

Citizen Louis glares hatefully at all four of his kidnappers, glaring an especially nasty death glare at Timothy!

"I'LL... GO WITH YOU, YES."

Citizen Lou moves very slowly as you try to take him out of the cave! He seems to be stalling for time.

[Cave alarm roll: 3]

A few people look at Louis as he moves past, some even stare for a bit. They get back to what they were doing, however.

[Fred patience roll: 1]

"They're getting suspicious. Have to do something, NOW."

[Fred judgement roll: ?]

Fred runs off in a second, telling the others to keep moving. After a while he comes back. smiling oddly.

The sound of crackling fire and scary-crow screaming comes from deeper within the cave!

"Always wanted to do that."

People all around them begin to scramble and run wherever, allowing the three scary-crows to lift Lou up in the air and run for the exit unimpeded!

"UNHAND ME, YOUNG FOOLS! I WILL NOT STAND FOR SUCH TREATMENT!"

The young fools don't listen, predictably. They and Timothy run out into Yellowglen, breathing a sigh of relief!

"Right, we're out. Now we need to find a nice secluded spot."


In a metal-guarded cave...

Vincent carefully examines the chain!

[Chain examination roll: 3]

Well, it is stuck to a stone wall. That's the only structural weakness he can see here.

[miauw62]

Mike will examine the the woman's stuff, and then try to find the cheapest piece of lead glass in BLUETREE.

[TopHat]

Bonce between the sides of the pit! Going steadily upwards!

[Firelordsky]

Check to see if it's a fake stone wall.

[Harry Baldman]

In Bluetree, Home of Good Glass...

Mike checks her stuff for anything useful!

[Useful stuff roll: 5]

She finds about 40 silver coins, a cool-looking ring and a book of some kind! All of these look pretty useful, to tell the truth. She begins to look for lead glass!

[Search roll: 5]

She searches all over town until she finally enters one of the more prestigious glass stores in town! It has a large display case in it that has a piece of real, authentic lead glass in it! It gleams marvelously!

At the bottom of the case is a plaque with the words "Real Demon Glass, Harvested from the Darkest Pits of the Demons! Only 100 silver coins!"

100 silver coins, huh?


On a ledge far below ground...

Maps tries to use the sides of the pit as adequate bouncing aids!

[Bouncing roll: 3]

He bounces off it all right, but it doesn't really help him much, as he is bounced back to the same ledge he was on before!


In a cave no longer guarded by a metal creature...

Vincent checks the wall for any sign of fakeness! Maybe this thing was gypsum all along, you never know!

[Wall fakeness roll: 3]

Well, it's not granite. That's good. It's still stone, however, which is less good.

[TopHat]

Cast the spell again for EXTRA BOUNCINESS!
Then BOUNCE TO THE SURFACE!

[Harry Baldman]

On an inescapable ledge...

Maps tries to improve his bounciness through magic once again!

[Magic roll: 1-1]

He manages to increase his mass to horribly unreasonable levels!

[Endurance roll: 1]

He begins to collapse upon himself from his sheer weight! Good gods, that hurts! That hurts very badly, in fact! He seems to be approaching a state of becoming bloody pulp!

[Will roll: 3+1]

Fortunately for him, Maps is only mildly inconvenienced by this. You'd think that lacking most of his body would impede him slightly, but you clearly don't know Maps like Maps knows Maps!

[Further crushing roll: 3]

Maps still feels like his own mass is crushing him, but it's hardly anything like the previous bit.

[TopHat]

Cast physiological normalcy.
Then write in a spell called super high jump.
