[Gamerlord]

Yes, but it won't harm him. Think stasis field, not eternal torture.

[killerhellhound]

That may work unless you manage to blow him up by getting a 0 or -1

[Gamerlord]

No risk no gain.

[Harry Baldman]

In an alleyway of assassins...

Yorinnsud goes into the alley, holding both his sword and his Mark up in the air to signify his lack of hostility!

"Zakhepuz-zulan! Phazakh-zuzim-mizart!"

He hangs Mark back on his dagger perch and lowers his sword.

"Abiz-zulan! Zaritis-khozarimt! Khatadiz-piz!"

"Nice work there, Ed."

"Thanks, man."

"I sometimes wonder what we would ever do without a cunning linguist such as yourself."

"Screw you."

All three guys eventually get out of the alleyway that now seems to be burning with an intensity only ten tons of magma could create. When they finally get to Yorinnsud's position, they are quite surprised at his appearance!

"Zu... zu-mizart?"

"Ah. Zetul-atizi-zurikim-dezkul?"

[Ed explanation roll: 4]

"Hm, how best to put this, oh, I know. Zulan-atizi-itris. Zulan-ne-yaza-sezi-itris. Zulan-dezkul-nezikul-vazra. Ne-yaza-kul-itris, nezikul-kul-vazra. Kul-itris-azaza-vazra."

Suddenly things make a bit more sense to Yorinnsud. So the point of the game is power and you have to kill the other priests to get it. Was that what the first priest was trying to say?


In an alleyway...

Luke, despite the disheartening revelation of the last few seconds in relation to his most treasured possession, decides to soldier on and find a suitable replacement in the near vicinity.

[Search roll: 5]

After thinking for a few seconds, he has a realization - if there was one hammer in that half-demolished building, why not another one? A brief investigation reveals that there indeed is another one! This one's a bit shinier and newer-looking, actually. Clearly it's been better cared-for.

What's more, there seems to be a steel chair lying around as well. Ooh, chairs...

[Onyxjew944]

Choppity-chop the slime. It looked at me wrong.

[anailater]

Luke had never seen anything so beautifal before, that shining cover, the four long legs, it may be the fact he was partly a chair, he knew he wanted her.
"Why hello there miss, do you want to go to dinner some time?"
Try to (figureitivley) pick up the chair, ni matter what happens head back to the group of mages with my sledgehammer.

[Harry Baldman]

In the streets of Emlocke...

Tom decides to kill this floating slime, as it has decidedly seen too much. And it has looked at all of it wrong.

[Tom vs. Slime: 1+2 vs. 1+1]

He pokes it slightly with his sword.

[Slime reaction roll: 5]

It doesn't seem to mind. Or do anything, really. Tom briefly ponders whether to chop again. It looks pretty harmless, after all. Aside from being a bit of a creepy stalker, that is.


Near a somewhat demolished house...

Luke decides to indulge his freshly developed furniture fetish and hit on the steel chair!

"Why hello there, miss, do you want to go to dinner sometime?"

[Luke insanity roll: 4]

"Why, yes, sir, I would like that quite a bit! I'm free today, is that too soon?"

"Meeting you can never happen too soon, beautiful. It's a date."

"Oh, you're such a charmer! See you tonight, then!"

Luke takes the sledgehammer and skips away, his undead heart all aflutter! This takes him back to the glory days. Of course, his first sweetheart wasn't nearly as cute as this little number. He frolics back to the mages' basement, pondering what to wear for tonight. These rags he's wearing are awfully filthy.

"You're back. And you have a hammer. Good. Erin?"

"Ready. Now, 'Luke', hold still. I'm going to try something."

Luke looks at her in a mix of surprise and puzzlement, but she's already started gesturing!

[Erin magic roll: 6]

The hammer, very much like Luke himself not too long ago, also seems to become liquid in shape! Wait... is that a mouth? With several rows of sharp teeth? Made of steel? Holy crap, that's terrifying.

The hammer then develops a pair of opaque steel eyes that somehow manage to intimidatingly peer at Luke! A razor-sharp fin appears at the top of the hammer and the shape of the head is now far more aerodynamic!

As the jaws of the hammer snap menacingly, Evelyn and Art quietly applaud. Erin bows deeply and speaks in a ceremonial tone.

"My creation, I dub thee Sharkhammer! Help this hapless minion bring us victory!"

Luke isn't really an expert, but he's pretty sure that this hammer might be dangerous if used improperly.

[Onyxjew944]

'Hmm, it doesn't mind being stabbity-stabbed. This is the greatest ball of liquid evil I have ever seen. I shall call you Squishy and you shall be my Squishy.'

Continue my frolicing looting and skipping hunting.

[Harry Baldman]

In the streets of Emlocke...

Having tested the pure evil of the ball of slime and found it sufficient, Tom silently approves of it and dubs it worthy of a name. And this name shall be... Squishy. It is a venerable name, one any slime should be proud of bearing. This gesture is not lost on the slime, as it seems to quiver with what may very well be gratefulness. Tom nods with grace and leaves on his journey, the slime following close behind and providing a warm, distracting glow in the wandering skeleton's wake.

[Tom search roll: 6]

Tom and his one true friend, his sword, go forth and look for any brave champions of magic seeking the ways of the Black Circle in order to murder them most hideously. And it appears that he is in luck today, as there appears to be a man in a light green robe dragging a chest of something along the street. His skin looks metallic and he has no hair, so he clearly is somewhat of an unusual sight. This may also complicate his murder to a certain degree.

[Onyxjew944]

'Oh halloo, what have we here? A chest? In the street? Being dragged by a living creature? This universe just loves me today.'

In the highly likely event that he has yet to see me, decapitate him.

((Here's to hoping the metal in my sword is of a higher Moh's hardness than the metal in his skin. If not, than I shall kill him some other way and reforge my blade using an alloy of whatever the sword is made of and magically enhanced skin. It will be glorious.))

[anailater]

"By the way, i think you gave me the power to talk with chairs earlier, so i have a date tonight, also i thank thee for the power of the Shark hammer, may it bring death to your enemies."
Be a love struck suck up

[Firelordsky]

Bash his skull in instead.

[Harry Baldman]

Near a very curious scene in Emlocke...

Tom walks up to the metallic man nonchalantly and then performs the oft-cited social faux pas of spontaneous attempted decapitation with a bastard sword.

[Tom vs. Metallic Minion: 5+2-1 vs. 3+1-1-1]

Surprisingly, his neck turns out to be one of his weak points! Tom slices his head clean off, causing a rather messy spurt of... silvery blood?

[Metal minion endurance roll: 5]

The head of the metallic fellow on the ground begins to speak!

"That's not a very nice thing to do to a complete stranger. Especially a complete stranger who is currently busy unloading a vast quantity of extremely dangerous magical, well, let's say magical thingies and be done with that. Regardless of your true intentions, I can't very well let you get away with that, can I? Have at thee, foul barbarian!"

The headless body of the metallic man puts up two metallic fists and approaches Tom in a gentlemanly manner!

[Metallic Minion vs. Tom: 2+1 vs. 5+1+3-2]

Despite Tom carrying what amounts to a metric ton of metal, the fellow misses him entirely and stumbles. Tom uses the opening to slash at the metallic gentleman!

[Counterattack: Tom vs. Metallic Minion: 2+1 vs. 5+1]

However, his sword just clinks against the surface of his skin!

"Just wondering, how do you plan to kill me? You already chopped my head off. Where can you go after that?"


In a basement full of mages...

Luke decides to share the details of his latest romantic escapades with his masters!

"By the way, I think you gave me the power to talk with chairs earlier, so I have a date tonight."

Evelyn gives Luke a bewildered look. It's actually the first expression other than blank acceptance he's seen out of her today.

"With a chair?"

"Yes. Is that a problem?"

She scratches her head and looks at Erin, soundlessly mouthing a few words. Erin shakes her head. Evelyn then produces a questioning expression. Erin just shrugs. Evelyn then stares at Luke for a few seconds before returning to her normal composure.

"Have fun," she says with a resigned look.

"Thank you for being so understanding. Also, I thank thee for the power of the Sharkhammer, may it bring death to your enemies."

"Yes. Of course."

Suddenly, the ethereal voice of Justine pipes up.

"I have the house. It's on the west side of town, three houses down the street from the Temple."

"I see. Minion. Go there. Get the Tome of Demons from the demonologist. Bring it here. Kill the demonologist as well. Go now."

Well, that was concise. Hopefully he can make it in there and out before he has to go on his date!


In a temple garden...

Vincent decides to go back to the time-tested method of bashing in skulls to take down his enemies.

[Vincent vs. Gardener: 6+1 vs. 4-1]

He bashes the zombie's skull in thoroughly!

[Gardener reaction roll: 2]

The gardener, though hardly impeded by the skull that just imploded on him, decides to get down on his knees. What's it doing?

[Gardener prayer roll: 3]

He doesn't seem to be very good at praying, having no capacity to speak or even a brain that hasn't turned to a rotting pile of mush inside his skull. Despite this, Vincent can almost see a certain... glow emanate from his body.

[Onyxjew944]

'Extremely dangerous magical thingies? Metallic men that live after their head was cut off? Oh, yes. This should be good fun indeed.'

Pick up the decapitated head and throw it into the slime. Try to cut off the headless minion's arms.

((You said:

It looks like something you wouldn't want to touch. With anything.

So I think it's a safe bet it can dissolve this guy's head right? Probably not going to do much in the way of killing him, but it is a way to feed Squishy.))

[anailater]

"Right away!"
Remenise about that lovely lady, travel to the house using as many empty alley ways as possible.
