In an alleyway...Tom, quickly getting a good idea about what's going on, walks up to the female mage and attempts to execute the justice of the proletariat on her! However, good ol'
Luke has his own ideas about that.
"Look out behind you!"The girlfriend looks back and notices Tom!
"Hey, thanks!"Tom begins to rush at the girlfriend!
[Speed: Tom vs. Girlfriend: 4+
1 vs. 3]
He gets to her before she can get a spell off, making a mighty two-handed swing as he does so.
[Tom vs. Girlfriend: 6+2 vs. 5]
He manages to slash her in the arm in a very painful and horrible manner!
[Girlfriend endurance roll: 1]
Oh dear, it looks like he may have struck quite the vessel there. Blood spurts from the woman's arm as she clutches it, unsuccessfully trying to stop the bleeding. She stumbles back, dropping her boyfriend and keels over, clearly helpless. She proves easy to finish off via decapitation on Tom's part, who then attempts to finish off the boyfriend.
[Boyfriend magic roll: 5-
1]
The boyfriend waves his arms! Nothing seems to happen. How strange. Okay, he'll just go and finish him off, then-
Oh dear. He's moving way too fast! He smashes into the wall in a manner that is analogous, if not entirely identical, to Luke.
[Collision damage roll: 6+1]
He bounces back and does a backflipping slash at the crippled boyfriend!
[Tom vs. Crippled Boyfriend: 2+2 vs. 1-1]
Yeah, he's rather well-diced by this maneuver. Perhaps he should look into this more.
[Perception roll: ?]
There's the shuffling again! Blasted squirrel terrorists! They're everywhere! Tom gives Luke, who, while undeniably a treacherous rat bastard, is probably not smart enough to be involved, a mean gaze to determine his guilt.
Yep, he looks pretty clueless.
Next to a portal of fiery burning...Vincent attempts to free himself from the flaming vine and draws just the tool for the job - the tin sword!
[Tin sword effects roll: 4]
As soon as he draws it, it liquefies in his hands! However, it still somehow retains a blade-like shape! Well, slashing time!
[Vincent vs. Vine: 6+2 vs. 1+1]
He slashes the vine clean off, causing it to rapidly retreat back to where it came from! The portal, oddly enough, seems to weaken! His sword glows ever more intensely, however, having already become a barely-coherent cloud of particles! Still doesn't burn, though.
Vincent decides that this might be a good time to get the hell out of here.
[Vincent escape roll: 6+1]
Using his somewhat burned wings as help, he rapidly leaves the burning explosion of horrible death. Somehow, it manages to look deadlier from this distance. And it seems to be spreading.
Next to several corpses...Yorinnsud and
Mark finally get to the best part of their adventure (aside from the points) - the looting! They loot Bea and the headless lady most thoroughly!
[Loot roll: 1]
Aside from their rather nonmagical, though nonetheless rather stylish robes, they have only a box of some kind! Yorinnsud opens it!
Green slime begins pouring out in massive quantities, and a lot escapes before Yorinnsud can close the box! It then proceeds to form a giant sphere of some kind that floats a small distance above ground level.
[Slime reaction roll: 3]
It doesn't seem overtly hostile, though. That's kind of good.
