Head up and sit on throne!

On the west side of Freezebottom, the Jewel of the North...

Mike checks the signs on the stores!

Predictably, all of them feature maps to some degree.

[Sign information roll: ?]

One of the signs says "Inn", another says "Pub" and a final one says "Luckiest Tables in Freezebottom!"

None of those help him in any way! Damn these unimaginative venue owners!


Inside a mental throne room...

James goes forth and tries to sit on the throne once more!

[? roll: ?]

Nothing happens in great quantities!

Mike will try to find a window and use his Ghostly Ventroquislm to get information on how to get to Yellowgen from those inside!

In Freezebottom, the roughest, meanest, frozenest place in the north...

Mike flies up to the window of the inn and tries to use his Ghostly Ventriloquism again!

[Ghostly Ventriloquism roll: 1]
[Soundproofing roll: 6]

Mike can't hear a thing from inside! Somehow they've made the entire thing soundproof!

[Commotion roll: 1]
[Mike dodge roll: 5]

Mike sees a dark shape rapidly approach the window! He flies out of the way, and it is fortunate indeed that he does, for the window shatters when a barrel-chested bald man flies through it and lands on the ground, lacerated all over and bleeding!

[Man endurance roll: 6]

The man immediately gets up and leaps in through another intact window right next to the previous one! Why he did this, Mike isn't sure. It probably has something to do with either stubbornness, brain damage, inbreeding or an awful combination of all three.

However, the plus side of all this is that Mike can now perfectly see and hear what's going on in the inn! It's a fight! Lots of people fighting, it looks like! There is bloodlust in their eyes, chairs and shattered bottles in their hands!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Idiot townspeople and their stupid fighting. What kind of person doesn't answer an honest question like the one that Mike just undeniably asked?


On a throne of some kind...

James tries to chant the Empty Mind Chant one more time, since it hasn't steered him wrong yet as far as he can remember!

[Chant roll: 3]

He chants and chants and chants! Eventually he gets bored enough to just try to claim his mind back!

Nothing happens. There is nothing he can reach, nothing he can claim. How strange!

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

Maybe it's the fact that he's in a place that doesn't seem to do anything important?

[? roll: ?]

The tingling sensation returns! Hm, wonder what could it mean?

Head off to a more important place.

In the throne room...

James looks for someplace more important!

[Search roll: ?]

He finds a place with towering copper columns, lightning running through them. The floor has a distinctive chessboard pattern, plus the walls are decorated with patterns of flowing lines. It all looks very fancy.

In a strange mental room...

James chants the Empty Mind Chant once more!

[Chant roll: 3]

He gets really bored. Well, that's good! 'Cause you'd have to be really bored to do what he is about to do!

"Hey, Artiste! Play a game of mind-chess with me!"

There is no response.

Mike will figure that he's not getting alot of information from here, and will fly to the pub to try again!

In Freezebottom...

Mike realizes that there's no point in ventriloquizing a bar fight. That shit's too civilized for these philistines. He flies off to the pub and repeats the question!

[Ghostly Ventriloquism roll: 2]

He tries again and again, but just can't bring himself to ask the question without breaking down laughing mid-way through. He's not sure why. He just has the giggles, it seems.

In Freezebottom...

Mike tries to get a hold of himself!

[Will roll: 2]

Oh dear. He can't stop! He can't stop at all! He just keeps giggling!

Mike will land somewhere safe and wait until they pass.

Near the Lucky Map Pub...

Mike flies away to a secluded spot and waits for the giggles to pass! He didn't even know crows could giggle!

[Will roll: 6]

He becomes deathly serious for a moment. Then he bursts into full-on laughter again! Seriously, this must be temporary insanity or something.

[Will roll: 6]

Okay, okay. Now he's alright. He'll stop.

"I have to stop. Right now. This is important."

For some reason the sound of a crow imitating human speech is the funniest thing ever for him right now! He keeps on cackling!

[Will roll: 6]

He zig-zags between grimness and total hilarity a few more times! If there was another living thing in his vicinity, it would have smacked him three times already!

[Will roll: 5]

Finally he calms down, takes several deep breaths and settles into a nice, calm state of mind. Now he is ready to do something once again!
