On a ledge in the Inescapable Pit of Evil...

Maps tries to cast a spell he actually has in his book!

[Magic roll: 5-1]

He casts Physiological Normalcy! He continues to bleed like any normal human being would in his situation. Well, at least he removed any possible diseases he may have accumulated over time!

With that done, he uses the massive amounts of blood pouring out of him to make a new spell, the Super High Jump.

[Spell taking roll: 5]

Not only does it stick to the page just fine, it is so articulately written and made that it seems to have tapped right into the inner energies of the book! Score one for Maps! Granted, the world still has a lead of about 500 points, but that can be corrected, Maps hopes!

Cast 'close wounds' then 'regeneration' then 'super high jump'
Then jump to the surface.

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.

On a ledge underground...

Maps tries to unleash his magic in a jamboree of spells!

[Magic roll: 2-1]

For his first act, he casts Open Massive Wounds!

He begins to bleed even more horribly!

[Will roll: 2+1]

However, this does not entirely stop him from attempting his next act!

[Magic roll: 5-1]

He begins to regenerate a bit! Sure, he's lost most of his blood, but he has confidence in his recovery!

After five or so second, the disjointed pile of flesh tries to cast one last spell: Super High Jump!

[Magic roll: 2]

Nothing happens. Dammit.

Mike will examine the ring and book, see if they are magical. If not, hopefully they are valuable!

Repeat previous action.

In a store in Bluetree...

Mike takes a look at the ring and the book!

[Ring roll: ?]

The ring turns out to be wooden and merely painted to look like silver. Set in it is a worthless piece of colored glass! Maybe the book is better?

[Book roll: ?]

It's "Granny Eunice's Stories For Sad Children"! A good read to be sure! Commonly available, though!


On a ledge in a pit...

Maps tries to figure out what went wrong in his previous casting of Open Massive Wounds!

[Intelligence roll: 2+1]

He realizes that perhaps it wasn't the best idea to cast Open Massive Wounds in his situation! He'll try something different!

[Magic roll: 3-1]

He can't find anything useful, though! He sees no point in casting Regeneration again, either! After all, why mess with a good thing? Look, his lower torso is growing back nicely! The Super High Jump, however...

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

Well, the book probably didn't hear him. Time to try again!

[Magic roll: 1-1]

He does a Super Horizontal Jump right into the opposite cliff wall!

[Squishing roll: 4]

He remains mostly unsquished, however! He does fall down, though!

[Fall damage roll: 2]

He falls right back to the bottom of the pit, landing rather nastily!

[Will roll: 1+1]

He feels awfully woozy! Perhaps it's the massive blood and limb loss?

[Will roll: 4]

It passes quickly, though! Eh, probably nothing important!

Cast heal me now, please, then write in a spell 'grow new legs'.

In Bluetree, where glass is known to live...

Mike looks for some sad children to delight with Granny Eunice's beautiful prose! Shouldn't be too hard to find, considering the world she's in!

[Search roll: 2]

They prove surprisingly absent! What little children there are seem to be generally delighted with life, full of life, vigor and the gentle joy of youth, which are known to be kind of non-conducive to the whole sadness thing! Perhaps she can MAKE some children sad, then? Then she could make them happy again and profit somehow!


At the bottom of a pit...

Maps, locked in a vicious cycle of horrible injury and general dismemberment, tries to heal himself, hoping for better luck this time!

[Magic roll: 6-1]

And on the umpteenth try, Maps has prevailed! The spell provides him with instantaneous healing, restoring his lower torso and tails! He feels like a million silvers! Time to write in a new spell!

[Spell taking roll: 2]

It doesn't work, to say the least. Yep, everything's back to normal already.

In Bluetree, home of happy children...

Mike tries to approach some children and threaten them stellar homicide should they not provide her with money!

"Hey, you, kids! Give me money!"

"Or what?"

"Or I'll KILL THE SUN! Yeah, you heard me!"

[Children reaction roll: 5]

"Holy shit, you can do that?"

"Totally!"

"Awesome! Here's a copper piece for your trouble! It's all I've got!"

"Here, take my two copper pieces!"

"Yeah, you don't fuck with an old hag that can fuckin' kill the fuckin' sun. Here's a piece from me as well!"

Mike takes the money and strolls off in satisfaction! Like taking money from an octogenarian!

Jump out of pit.

In a pit...

Maps tries to cast Super High Jump again!

[Magic roll: 2-1]

He does so and jumps! After flying upwards for 200 feet, he begins to fall in a straight trajectory downward!

[Fall damage roll: 4+1]

He manages to use his regenerated bulk to bounce harmlessly for a bit before coming to a stop!

Maps notices a curious pink head looking at him from up above!

Mike will remember the money system in this country and pray to the gods to transform his copper into gold!

In Bluetree...

Mike has a truly grandiose plan in mind! She is too good for begging on a street corner, you see. It is far too humiliating, dehumanizing and generally unpleasant. What she has in mind is something much, much greater!

You see, Mike shall attempt... TO BEG FROM THE GODS THEMSELVES!

[Celestial supplication roll: 2]

She bows, prays, hollers and gyrates suggestively, but there is no answer from the gods! They do not seem to be particularly inclined towards giving her money! After half an hour of sustained praying, Mike becomes sufficiently bored to stop!
