In the air...

Mike tries to use telekinesis to break the object swinging at him!

[Telekinesis roll: 2]

It seems that telekinesis does indeed scale with size! Oh, woe is Mike!

[Mike dodge roll: 2]

Mike is sufficiently distracted to get smacked by the hand!

[Mike endurance roll: 4]

She is merely thrown a very short distance by this, however! Nothing to worry about yet!


In a village of some sort...

Vincent looks for some kind of vehicle!

[Search roll: 1]

He finds a wheelbarrow and tries to steal it! However, said wheelbarrow belongs to a very large man who, if Vincent may say so himself, is looking especially murderous today!

[Man vs. Vincent: 3+1 vs. 5+2]

The man tries to grab Vincent, but the skeleton is too quick and counters with its sharp steel weapons!

[Counterattack: Vincent vs. Man: 4+2 vs. 2+1]

He is stabbed right through the stomach!

[Man endurance roll: 2+2]

He is not terribly bothered by this, however!

Mike will latch on to the back of the hand, so he cannot be smashed!

Near a hand of pure destruction...

Mike goes ahead and tries to latch on to the Hand That Smashes!

[Latching on roll: 5]

She carefully avoids the next swing and latches on to the back of the hand! A totally foolproof plan, this!

[? perception roll: ?]
[Mike perception roll: ?]

Mike notices everything darken! Uh oh.

[Mike dodge roll: 1]

Mike is struck by the realization that most people have two hands. This is her last realization before she is squashed beyond recognition by an open palm!

Mike's spirit leaves the housefly and attempts to possess the person that smashed him!

[Person will roll: 5]

The person, a man in his forties, proves to be a tough nut to crack! Mike tries to take over his body, but his previous ease of controlling the housefly must have softened him somewhat, as the person hardly even notices his intrusion, but still subconsciously manages to eject him from his mind!

[Nearby creature roll: 3]

Fortunately for Mike, there is also a single crow nearby! Mike tries to possess that!

[Crow will roll: 2]

They may be smart, those crows, but shiny things can still confound them! And Mike is nothing if not a very shiny thing! He takes over the crow's mind!

Alright, so now he can see nicely. He appears to have come from a farmhouse deep inside the woods. The person who just squashed him is apparently its owner. All around him are deep, dark, near-primeval woods.

Mike will try to reorientate using his bird senses, and fly to yellowgen!

In a tree in the woods...

Mike tries to figure out where Yellowglen might be from here!

[Knowledge roll: ?]

Aha! These trees only grow in the south parts of the continent, so all he has to do is fly north to find civilization, and Yellowglen with it! Easy as pie!

Mike takes off and flies northward! He flies for several hours, the weather getting colder and the wind getting stronger with every passing second!

[Perception roll: ?]

The flora has changed noticeably - the forest seems to have thinned out, and only an icy tundra stretches out beneath him!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

He doesn't remember conditions like these in Yellowglen. Maybe it's a climate anomaly of some kind?

Over an icy tundra...

Mike continues his flight, searching for some kind of civilization! He flies ceaselessly and observes the landscape!

[Civilization roll: 5]

He spies a town in the distance! It has a wall around it and buildings in it, plus there's a castle nearby! How fortunate!

Mike will fly to town, and use his Ghostly Ventroquilsm to ask somebody where Yellowgen is!

Figure out where the artists is hiding.
Find him

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.

Near a town...

Mike flies forth and looks for some unsuspecting citizens to terrorize with his ventriloquist antics!

[Search roll: 6]

There's a whole lot of people in the town square! They seem to be spaced around a large stone statue of a man! Perfect!

[Ghostly Ventriloquism roll: 1]

Very, very loud sounds come from the statue!

"CAW CAW CAW! CAW CAW! CAW CAW CAW?"

"Holy crap, people! Run like hell!"

[Panic roll: 3]

Most of the people run off in fright, leaving a few others looking confused in the square!

"What the hell is going on?"


In the mind of a lunatic...

James tries to find the Artiste once again!

[Perception roll: ?]

Well, he's definitely not visible in this area.

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

He must be... IN-VISIBLE! Obviously! This does make finding him much more difficult, however.

Mike will choose one of the people for his ghostly ventroquilsm and ask again!
"Hello good sirs, do you happen to know the location of Yellowgen?"

In the town of something or other...

Mike tries to terrorize the people some more! Ventiloquism time!

[Ghostly Ventriloquism roll: 6]

Crazy shouting starts to come from a little girl!

"WHERE IS YELLOWGLEN, MORTAL FOOLS? TELL ME NOW OR FACE ETERNAL DARKNESS AND SUFFERING!"

[People reaction roll: 2]

"AAAGH! DEMON-SPAWN!"

The rest of the people run away! The little girl holds her hands over her mouth in shock!

Call out to the artiste.
Bet he can't become visable.
Laugh at the stupid fool if he says he can't

Mike will extract this information from the little girl.

In the backseat of his own mind...

James tries once more to somehow reach the Artiste!

"Hey, Artiste! You here?"

There is no answer.

"Bet you can't become visible!"

Still just silence.

"Hah! I knew it! Silly fool!"

James mentally pats himself on the back as he tries his best to endure the silent treatment!


In a mostly empty town square...

Mike tries to extract information from the little girl!

"AND YOU, LITTLE GIRL, DO YOU KNOW THE LOCATION OF YELLOWGLEN!"

[Girl reaction roll: 3]

"Uh... Yellowglen?"

"YES, YELLOWGLEN!"

"Uh... no?"
