In a museum of sorts...

Vincent, perhaps fearing a sordid fate, chooses to leave the museum and head out! He tries to figure out which way Bernie might be.

[Intelligence roll: ?]

He considers what he knows of the area and chooses to go south on the straightest path possible.

[Encounter roll: 2]

He sees several people in the distance. It's difficult to see them from here.

[Perception roll: ?]

They seem to be human, they are carrying spears and bows. They also look unreasonably aggressive.


In Yellowglen...

Mike tries to growl as spookily as he can!

[Spooky Howling roll: 6]

A demonic howl of incredible proportions escapes the mouth that should not be, and Mike feels the entire area shiver with piercing horror! Too bad there doesn't seem to be anything alive around to hear it.

Mike will think about what this means. (HINT: IT MEANS THAT THIS IS NOT REAL.)

In Yellowglen...

Mike tries to question the reality of things around him!

[Questioning roll: 4]

Yeah, it does seem really iffy and nonsensical, to be honest. It's pretty obvious that this isn't real. Like, get real.

Just as he thinks it, the sky of Yellowglen disappears around him. So does the ground and trees. And the globe and the box, and the map, and the coins. Mike begins to fall.

[Location roll: 6]

Fortunately, his dreamscape seems to have existed not very far from the ground, as he only falls a few feet. Unfortunately, though, he seems to have been right above the fountain, as he immediately plunges into the water!

[Fountain effect roll: 5]

Shockingly enough, nothing horrible happens! He even manages to not get any inky liquid in his eyes! This must be his lucky day.

He does get out immediately, just to be on the safe side.

Mike will now imagine himself Bernie's face and some hands.

Next to the Fountain of Visions...

Mike keeps trying to make himself the face of Bernie! And some hands, too, yeah, that'd be nice!

[Imagination roll: 1-1]

He thinks of Bernie, summoning all his disdain and lack of respect into a single point right next to him! He closes his eyes and sings a song that directly insults Bernie in every way possible! Not because he needs to, mind you, just because he hates Bernie.

He opens his eyes and sees Bernie right next to him! A simulacrum of Bernie, to be precise. It looks pretty close to the real thing!

"You do realize I just heard that song, right?"

[Bernie magic roll: 1]

He gestures at Mike, then proceeds to drop on the ground and begin convulsing in pain. Yep, that's definitely the level competence you'd expect from the guy.

Next to the Fountain of Visions...

Mike, undeterred by all the horrifying failures he's experienced so far, decides to try once more to create the face of Bernie with some hands to go with it for himself!

[Imagination roll: 5-1]

This time, however, he has Bernie right in front of him, so copying his face for himself is a simple matter! He imagines it at the tip of his spine-tongue, making sure he can hide it should the need arise. It's even somewhat articulate! Who would've thought?

[Bernie simulacrum recovery roll: 3]

The fake Bernie lies on the ground and coughs for a bit, then begins to get up!

[Imagination roll: 1-1]

Mike is about to think of a good sort of hand to give himself, but is then distracted by the far more interesting prospect of floating violent fists that beat people up! He imagines 5 floating fists of flame in front of himself! They proceed to fly at him at great speed!

[Fist 1 vs. Mike: 6 vs. 1]
[Fist 2 vs. Mike: 2 vs. 5]
[Fist 3 vs. Mike: 2 vs. 5]
[Fist 4 vs. Mike: 2 vs. 3]
[Fist 5 vs. Mike: 1 vs. 5]

The very first fist hits him so hard, he flies right out of the room through the shimmering curtain, having lost many of his bony teeth as well as some of his face's teeth! He can also feel that his face has a broken nose!

[Flight roll: 6]

Mike's flight right off a walkway is fortunately prevented by a passing fungus! However, while Mike is stopped in his tracks, the fungus is sent sailing off the walkway. It looks rather sad as it falls down. Looks like it has a long way to fall.

Meanwhile, the four other floating fists of flame decide that they're not going to top the first one's work and choose not to try. They all dissipate harmlessly.

[Bernie recovery roll: ?]

Mike has no idea what Bernie's up to in there.

Imagine a floating, working hand made out of pink diamonds that's under my control. Go back into the room.

Outside the Dream Palace...

Mike attempts to imagine himself a whole lot of pink diamonds!

[Imagination roll: 5-1]

He actually does manage to summon a whole bunch of diamonds in various shades of pink! They look quite real, too, though he's not entirely positive on how pink they should be. Hopefully he didn't overdo it. Okay, time to make a hand out of 'em!

[Imagination roll: 2-1]

He tries to assemble a hand of pink diamonds, but it doesn't work at all! Instead, he finds himself thinking of feet for gods only know what reason! The end result is a foot of pink diamonds.

"KHAAKH! DAMMIT!"

The foot responds to the aggression by trying to calm Mike down. Trying to calm him down with a foot to the torso!

[Pink Diamond Foot vs. Mike: 2 vs. 5]

It goes for a mighty kick, but Mike is too angry to allow the creature to do this!

[Counterattack: Mike vs. Pink Diamond Foot: 5 vs. 6]

Mike tries to grab the foot between his jaws, but it is far too busy being made of diamond to be harmed by this. In fact, this really hurts Mike, so he spits the thing out!

[Foot flight roll: 3]

It lands next to the edge of the walkway and precariously dangles over the edge!

Telekinetically make the foot float towards me and re-imagine it as a hand (that I control).

Outside the Dream Palace...

Mike tries to telekinetically pull the foot back to him!

[Telekinesis roll: 1]

He pushes it off the edge and chuckles hellishly as it disappears from sight! That'll teach it to kick him! Stupid pink diamond foot!

Outside the Dream Palace...

Mike attempts to imagine some pink diamonds again! Worked the first time, right?

[Imagination roll: 3-1]

He doesn't feel very inspired, however. He thinks he might be running out of imaginative juice, so to speak.
