Next to a highly suspicious ball of slime...Mark, not really trusting a ball of slime ten times his size, grabs his buddy
Yorinnsud and makes a tactical retreat.
[Slime reaction roll: 1]
Suddenly, the front of the ball of slime begins to shift and change! It reshapes itself into a... face? Why would it do that? It does look majorly pissed for some reason. Probably because it's so big. It begins to menacingly approach the two undead! Its false eyes glow with hideous radiance, which is the universal sign of meaning business in the magical world.
[Sphere magic roll: 5]
The glow suddenly becomes a full on eyebeam that proceeds to devastate the area around Yorinnsud and Mark!
[Yorinnsud dodge roll: 6-1]
[Mark dodge roll: 1+1]
Yorinnsud, being a naturally suspicious type, saw this coming immediately and dodges out of the way as fast as a zombie can, which isn't terribly fast. Mark only looks at Yorinnsud perplexedly as he does this, not really seeing the big deal. Well, joke's on him, 'cause now he's been blasted away by a concussive beam of slimy power, his legs splintered by the beam and the rest of his body landing in a pile some distance away! He doesn't seem to be in any danger of dying from this, though it certainly is quite inconvenient.
Next to an expanding portal of doom...Vincent decides that taking flight might be the very best idea at the moment and goes looking for help!
[Flight roll: 5]
He soars above the woods once more, leaving the horrible persistent heat anomaly behind. Damn it feels good to be a flying skeleton. Time to look for help!
[Search roll: 4]
As he flies about, he notices a large temple off in the distance! It doesn't look ruined, so it probably has something in it. Perhaps even someone!
Sideways in an alleyway...Luke, not really seeing a good way to get out of this alley without falling down a street, decides to scream for help after finding
Tom to be oddly unreceptive to his orders.
[Shouting roll: 6]
He screams like a little girl that's been stabbed and is also on fire in the Pit of Hideous Acid and Lightning. Surely this will attract a lot of attention!
[Attracted attention roll: 1+
2]
A person looks into the alley for a few seconds, then, upon confirming that it is indeed none of his business what goes on in there, leaves quietly, but completely. Well, that didn't help! Also, Tom doesn't look pleased. He doesn't look pleased at all.
[Tom self-control roll: 4]
He manages to stand still on the ground (for he is, unlike poor old Luke, not actually attached to the wall, just recently smashed into it) and charge extremely quickly at Luke!
[Tom vs. Luke: 4+2+
1 vs. 4-1]
He chops off both of Luke's arms before the latter has any chance to react, what with Tom moving nearly faster than any eye (including his own lack of one) can see!
[Perception roll: ?]
Also, the sloth guerillas seem to have gone away at last! Amazing!
