Shoot head with crossbow.
Cast super high jump again. The jump for the surface.

In a pit near the Empire of Pink...

Maps tries to shoot the curious head for peeping! It's a capital crime to peep, you know!

[Maps vs. Peeper: 2+2 vs. 2+1]

A bolt from the force crossbow flies by the peeper's head, rupturing his eardrum! That really hurts!

[Peeper reaction roll: 4]

The peeper withdraws! Good, now Maps can perform nefarious misdeeds in peace!

[Magic roll: 5-1]

Maps casts the Super High Jump spell and jumps upward, flying about a thousand feet in the air!

[Handy features roll: 1]

It appears that the walls around here are totally slick and covered in horrible slime! Maps allows himself to fall a hundred feet or so!

[Handy features roll: 2]

Now it's just featureless rock. Great.

[Handy features roll: 5]

There is a handy outcropping of rock covered in odd fungi! Perfect! Maps shoots the force crossbow to launch himself to it and land safely! Maps is now 800 feet above the pit!


In Bluetree, home of children with money...

Mike, in a witchy mood, looks for more children to scare!

[Search roll: 2]

Crap. All of them are gone from the streets. Must be able to smell a predator.

Use botanical knowledge to identify fungi.
Take some if it is useful.
Then explore outcrop.

On a ledge far above a pit...

Maps takes a look at the fungi and attempts to identify them using his botanical knowledge!

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

He realizes that fungi aren't plants and as such are outside his area of expertise! Oh well. Better get to explorin'!

There isn't much to explore, really - there's the fungi and the wall, that's pretty much it.

[Perception roll: ?]

He notices a crack in the wall! It's pretty small, about the width of a human finger, but there is unmistakably light coming from it! A knock on the wall also reveals that the layer of rock is pretty thin here! A determined person with the proper tools might be able to break through!


In Bluetree...

Mike tries to find somebody who obviously needs smoothness lessons!

[Search roll: 1]

She finds a man who looks socially awkward and generally terrible with girls! She strolls up to him!

"Hi, handsome. You seem rather awkward. Need some help?"

The man turns to her with an odd look and speaks in an almost angelic voice!

"No, ma'am, I believe I have it covered, though it would be an honor to learn from a charming woman such as yourself."

[Mike will roll: 4]

The consciousness of the woman tries to surface for a bit, but Mike successfully keeps it down! That voice is nearly enough to make him melt, he doesn't need the woman interfering!

Write in a spell called 'transmute rocks into mining tools'
Cast it.

On a ledge far above a pit...

Maps tries to write in a brand new spell called Maps' Rock-Tool Transformation!

[Spellmaking roll: 5]

After making sure he's got everything in order with the composition of the spell, Maps writes it into the book! It seems to take perfectly! However, Maps does notice that there is only one more page left in the book he could possibly write upon. Better make that one count!

[Magic roll: 4]

He manages to transmute a portion of the cracked wall into a perfectly serviceable pickaxe, sledgehammer and combined hatchet-hammer! There is now a hole in the wall where some rock used to be! Maps can now see inside the area beyond - it seems to be well-lit, surprisingly! The stonework within looks ancient! Clearly these are ruins of some kind!

The hole, however, is still too small for Maps to comfortably fit through!


In an altogether different cave...

Vincent tries to ask the metal man to punch the wall!

[Nonverbal communication roll: 5]

The metal creature understands immediately and tries to punch the wall right where the chain is connected!

[Punch roll: 5+2]

The punch explodes a chunk of the wall with its sheer force! The end of the chain falls out of the wall! The metal guardian is free! Free!

Enlarge hole with mining tools.
Check other spell books for blank pages.

On a ledge by a pit...

Maps tries to mine out a larger hole in the wall!

[Mining roll: 4]

He manages to get through without issue! Yep, definitely ruins. Lots of stuff made of bones around here - chairs, tables, receptacles. Looks like a dining room.

Maps checks his other two spellbooks for more blank pages!

[Spellbook page roll: 2]

They're all filled completely! How unfortunate!

Search ruins for LOOT.
Then explore ruins.

In some ruins...

Maps chooses to embrace his inner adventurer and go looting!

[Looting roll: 1]

He finds a cool-looking dagger! Awesome!

Upon picking it up, he realizes the trouble he's in - the dagger bites and stabs all on its own!

[Dagger vs. Maps: 4+1 vs. 6]

Maps hurls the dagger into a wall before it can bite him a whole lot!

[Dagger sticking roll: 1]

The dagger, however, flies right out of the wall and heads for Maps again!


In Bluetree...

Mike tries to perform some street juggling to earn money!

[Object choice roll: 6]

She chooses a priceless sculptural ensemble in the center of town - the Knights of Glass, and tries to juggle those!

[Telekinesis roll: 4]

It's rather difficult, but she manages to juggle the statues quite nicely! Soon enough a crowd of townspeople has gathered around her!

[Townspeople reaction roll: 6]

They begin chanting at her to drop the statues! It looks like they don't really like these statues much! However, they do have an appetite for pointless destruction that Mike can appreciate!
