[Harry Baldman]

In a pitch-black area inside a temple...

Not a big fan of the dark, Vincent heads back up the staircase and looks for something interesting in the side wings!

[Wing choice roll (d3): 3]

He chooses the east wing as his second, hopefully more fruitful destination and goes in there immediately, passing an open wooden door with a carving of a tree on it. He finds himself in a large garden, of some kind. It features all kinds of fruit-bearing trees and flowers of many interesting shapes and colors that seem to be thriving despite the fact that they're in a stone structure with only a tiny bit of sunlight coming in from a skylight up above and the windows along the sides. The garden seems to continue for quite a distance before giving way to another stone wall some two hundred feet away from the entrance.

[Occupant roll: 4]

There appears to be a man standing over by a particularly beautiful patch of flowers, bent over while carefully tending the soil. He looks totally absorbed in his activities, whatever those may be.


In an alleyway of Emlocke...

Tom grabs the now-unconscious giggler and begins dragging!

[Strength roll: 2]

Dear gods, he's heavy! Tom slowly drags the guy through the street and toward the inn, but it takes him about half an hour to finally get back to the inn! He then tries to loot the guy to the best of his ability.

[Loot roll: 6]

It soon becomes apparent why it took him this long to drag him back here. The guy's dark green robe is entirely inlaid with thick metal plates connected by well-oiled miniature hinges, and he is also carrying a large talisman in the shape of a foot. Plus he has inordinate amounts of silver coins in his pockets. And a metallic sphere that seems about a hundred times heavier than it has any real right to be.

[Perception roll: ?]

Tom can hear a gasp come from somewhere in the room as he rolls the sphere out of the guy's metallic pocket! The goldfish death squad is still around, it seems, and it does not like what it sees!

[Firelordsky]

Ask him for help, if refused kill him.

[anailater]

I'm fucking doomed ain't I, no ones coming, I can't shout, no one would release me anyway and if I let go I'll fall sideways for eternity. Damn Tom! If I make it out of here I will re-kill him, no matter the cost
Wait for mages, pray to gods for assistance

[Harry Baldman]

In the garden of a temple...

Vincent approaches the man tending the garden and examines him closely. He notices something rather unusual - most of the man's skin as well as a great amount of his flesh is missing, with bones clearly showing through in places.

[Rotting roll: 2]

As Vincent takes a closer look, he notices that the fellow's face is also entirely missing, as is his entire lower jaw. He also seems to have no eyes. Looks like the poor guy is groping blindly among the weeds, though he does show remarkable good judgement in knowing which are weeds and which are flowers. Probably had centuries of practice. It seems pretty unlikely he'll be any help, though Vincent could go for a poke and find out.


In THAT alleyway...

Luke, seeing no way out of this predicament he's in, decides to wait for somebody to show up and pray.

[Prayer roll: 2]

He prays and he prays, first to Almiria, then Velusius, then Rysinia, then Narcillicus and finally Pacitarius. Well, that's the Five Gods covered. None of them see fit to provide divine intervention on his behalf. Assholes.

[Passerby roll: 5]

Luke realizes he may have spoken too soon, as only twenty minutes later a stranger appears! He doesn't get a good look at the person, but it looks like a woman, and she seems to be wearing a black robe.

"Hm, what's this? A bug on the wall? Fascinating."

[Firelordsky]

Poke him and find out.

[Harry Baldman]

Next to an elderly undead chap...

Vincent decides to poke the gardener and find out if he could be of any help!

[Gardener reaction roll: 4]

It takes a few seconds, but the gardener seems to have some sort of instinct left in that half-rotted brain of his, as his hand is soon raised and pointed at the other side of the garden, right at a darker spot along the far wall - a doorway.

[Firelordsky]

Go through the doorway.

[Onyxjew944]

'My Vendetta sense are tingling! Someone just declared a blood oath to kill someone, and are desperately outmatched. I foresee an epic tale of love and loss, adventure and combat, cake and explosions.'

Smiling wildly at my luck. Change out my mail for the robe, and move the sphere and talisman into the unbreakable chest upstairs. Lock the chest. Then drag my hopefully-still-unconscious friend to Josh. If he woke up, beat him over the head again.

[anailater]

Thank the gods! Now how do I let her know I'm stuck here.
Try to psychicly communicate with her, when that obviously doesn't work use more prayer to give her a sign.

[Harry Baldman]

In a zombie-run garden...

Vincent goes to the other end of the hall and opens the door leading further east, preparing for the indubitably exciting mysteries it might reveal.

His lack of eyes is met by the sight of a... lounge? It seems to be a room full of horribly decrepit furniture - chairs, tables, bookcases and several other things of very little interest. There are doors leading south, east and north aside from the entrance.

[Room occupant roll: 2]

One of the chairs has a skeleton in it. An immobile, rather dead-looking skeleton, not the living kind.


On the bottom floor of Bernie's inn...

Tom smiles as widely as he can (which, what with him being a skeleton, is very wide indeed), then takes off his chainmail and puts on the robe. He finds that, while it is a lot less noisy, it is a lot more cumbersome than the suit of mail, mostly due to the fact that it has about twice as much metal on it. How did that guy carry it so well? Well, no matter. He tries to pick up the sphere along with the leg talisman!

[Strength roll: 5]

Mustering untapped reserves of strength no skeleton should reasonably have, he picks up both objects and carries them up several flights of stairs, then finds the chest he unlocked! He puts the sphere and talisman in and closes the chest, then tries to lock it.

[Locking roll: 2]

He finds that, while his lockbreaking skills are not so bad, his actual locking ability leaves much to be desired. He closes the lid of the chest and hopes nobody will notice, then heads downstairs and picks up the unconscious mage, dragging him down another flight of stairs with difficulty. He presents the fellow to Josh.

He regards the unconscious fellow with suspicion.

"Hm, I suppose he'll have to do. Tie him into these restraints. Upside-down."

Josh points to four straps hanging off a wall above a mechanism of some kind.

[Perception roll: ?]

As he contemplates the best way to do what he's been ordered to, he is pretty sure he hears some hurried steps on the floor above. Very soft, but unmistakably there. Almost like... paws! The rabbit coven of insidious witches has arrived!


In an alleyway of doom...

Luke, rather than, you know, be polite and actually speak to the kind lady, tries psychic communication!

[Communication roll: 1]

He goes completely still and silent, concentrating deeply.

"Hm. Looks pretty dead to me. Certainly smells like it."

Oh crap. Prayer time! Answer, gods! Answer, damn you!

[Prayer roll: 4]

He prays to Narcillicus, God of Being Smooth With The Ladies, and receives a divine revelation! How about... talking!

"Help! I have six legs too many and they're trying to throw me off this wall and if they do this I'll fall down the street and I dunno, hit some trees and get horribly impaled and stuff and OH GODS, PLEASE HELP!"

"Oh. Oh. Why didn't you say anything? Looks like you're being pulled the wrong way. I suppose I could help with that."

[Black-Robed Lady magic roll: 2]

She gestures a bit and makes a few spooky-sounding noises, but nothing changes. Well, crap.

"You seem to be heavily enchanted. This'll be harder than I thought."

[Firelordsky]

Just sit ans wait here for some thing to happen.

[anailater]

"Please, I'll help you defeat all but one of the other mages here, he has me soul binded to help him, I can show you where he is and help you fight others, but he must be fought alone. It should be easy seeing as he's a weakling"
Yessssss!

[Onyxjew944]

Tie him into the restraints. If Josh doesn't have any other need of me, then head upstairs and examine my loot.

[killerhellhound]

look for more mages.
 I want some replacement legs

[Gamerlord]

((For crying out loud.))

Go find more things to kill.
