Inside a glassmaker's shop...

Mike searches for some long weaponry to support herself with! Wouldn't want to go against longstanding traditions, after all.

[Search roll: 6-1]

She does, in fact, find a set of obsidian-tipped spears! They look ridiculously sharp! It will be difficult to walk with them, but probably possible!

Mike will practice spear-walking!

In Bluetree...

Mike tries to walk with the two spears!

[Spearwalking practice roll: 6]

She lifts herself up on the two spears and practices running with them! It works perfectly right up to the point where she needs to stop, whereupon she lands flat on her face!

[Endurance roll: 4]

It doesn't really hurt that much, however!

In a surprisingly spear-rich glassmaker's shop...

Mike tries to practice some more!

[Practice roll: 5]

She gets up and walks for a bit, getting a feel for spear-walking! After a while she can say she's a fairly competent spearwalker! It's a lost art to be sure!

Blast dagger away with force bolt.
Then carry on looting.

Mike will find a sufficiently inaninmate object and try fighting with her spear(s) it without falling over!

In the Ruins of Something...

Maps tries the time-honored trick of blasting a dagger in mid-air with a bolt of pure force!

[Maps vs. Dagger: 6+2 vs. 5+1]

The dagger's blade is noticeably bent as the bolt hits it! The dagger's power seems to weaken, but it still tries to stab Maps in all the most tender places!

[Dagger vs. Maps: 2 vs. 4]

Maps successfully dodges the inept, aerodynamically unsound thrust of the dagger and tries to shoot it once again!

[Maps vs. Dagger: 5+2 vs. 5]

The dagger is struck once again and falls to the ground! It seems like the power within dissipates, the blade of the weapon mangled beyond repair!

Maps dusts himself off and carries on looting!

[Looting roll: 5]

After rolling through the ruins and admiring beautiful frescoes describing an incredibly violent apocalypse, Maps stumbles upon a rectangular steel plate! That wouldn't be entirely unusual, but it seems to be floating in the air of its own volition!

There appears to be a man clad in bright yellow robes appreciating the plate!


In a glassmaker's shop...

Mike tries to practice her spearwalk-fighting! It is the logical next step, is it not?

[Practice roll: 6]

She balances on one spear and stabs at a conveniently located chair, and lo, it is stabbed most severely! She tries to balance on the other spear and stab at the chair! Yea, if that spear were a man, 'twould be deader than a doornail!

Now for the double-stab! Mike uses the spears to propel herself in the air and land on the chair, piercing and definitely killing the innocent chair! Mike believes that she has got the hang of this!

However, both of the spears now seem to be stuck in the chair's wooden frame. Spears that she also used for movement.

"Err... Somebody there? I'm kinda stuck over here..."
Mike will yell for somebody to help her pull out the spears!

Inside the Floating Plate chamber...

Maps rolls up next to the man and tries to achieve a similar level of appreciation for the floating plate!

[Appreciation roll: 2]

Honestly, the plate looks a bit boring. It's all featureless and stuff! Somebody really should take the time to properly decorate it, Maps thinks. How can you call the plate something special if there isn't even anything written on it? So it floats, big deal. It's not awesome in any way, Maps thinks.

[Man reaction roll: 5]

The man doesn't turn to Maps or move his lips, but he can hear his voice regardless!

~A beauty, isn't it? Truly a miracle of magic and science. It stays afloat no matter what you place on it, and only through a concentrated effort of will can you move it. Absolutely glorious.~

Maps considers this information for a bit!


Stuck in a perforated chair...

Mike, crippled and stuck in a most unfortunate way, decides to yell for help!

[Yelling roll: 3]

She emits a feeble whine, hoping someone will hear it and come over!

[Response roll: 2]

Nobody comes. Filthy peasants. See if she helps them later!

Move it with a concentrated effort of will.
Ask the man how such a thing could be useful.

Inside the Floating Plate Chamber...

Maps concentrates on the boring-looking plate, willing it to move!

[Will roll: 4+1]

It flies up to him, coming to a gentle stop right next to him! The plate itself is about three feet wide and three feet long, plus about an inch thick.

"What possible use could this have?"

Maps can see the man smirk for a second.

~Four words. High. Speed. Aerial. Vehicle.~


In Mr. Noone's Glass Emporium...

Mike, dissatisfied at the lack of immediate aid provided, tries yelling louder! That always works!

[Yelling roll: 2]

She tries to yell louder, but finds herself unable to! A low whine is all her poor vocal cords can manage at the moment, unfortunately!
