Explain the existence of the priest with the really bad accent and enquire as to the nature of the sensation Ifelt when Bernie soulbound me and the others.

Uh... Shit. Try and heal him. Then grab a sword, and smash it into the coins in front of them. Be scary.

Next to a chest of wonder...

Tom decides that it might be a good idea to change his tactics somewhat. He goes for the metal head on the ground!

[Tom movement roll: 1+1-1]

He is about to run toward it when the rest of the body stands right in his way!

"Going somewhere?"

[Metallic Minion vs. Tom: 6+1 vs. 3+2]

It gives him a firm punch to the chest, sprawling him across the ground! Nothing's broken yet, though!


In one of the many town's basements that's full of mages...

Luke, upon hearing the order, gives a quick affirmation! He then stands around looking rather dreamy-eyed (as dreamy-eyed as a rotting corpse can be, anyway) for about twenty seconds.

"Well?"

Luke suddenly remembers where he is and goes on his way, trying to find the Temple of Velusius.

[Search roll: 2]

He knows it's supposed to be this large landmark and stuff, but he is simply not seeing it! Where could the damn place be?


Next to three master debaters...

Yorinnsud continues his line of questioning tinged with exposition. He does his best to explain the sensation of getting whipped across the soul and chained to an unyielding rock somewhere totally intangible. He then asks what it could mean.

[Mage knowledge roll: 5]

The three mages nod and briefly converse among each other.

"Zu-zerelatrin. Iluz-latris. Apifatriz-itris, dezkul-sazirik. Itris-na-yaza, zu-na-yaza, ziph-korez. Azekeze. Izivikuz. Apazis-zu-zakhilt."

That's not a very nice thing for a priest to do! Enslaving souls, how awful. Well, on the receiving end, at least.


At the site of a particularly gruesome wedgie...

Darren tries to somehow heal the fellow on the ground!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Well, first he had better pull out the wedged-in robe. That can't be good for him.

[Telekinesis roll: 4]

He softly pulls out the robe! He can hear the man emit a sigh of relief! However, he still seems to be bleeding quite badly.

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Maybe... close the wound somehow?

[Telekinesis roll: 4]

He concentrates on the man's terribly wounded crack and attempts to close any bleeding wounds in it! After several minutes, he believes he may have marginally succeeded! The pool of blood doesn't seem to be spreading much anymore! Now that that crisis has been averted, however, it is time for more practical japes!

[Telekinesis roll: 5]

He surreptitiously picks up a sword and smashes it into a nearby pile of coins with incredible force! The people in the room immediately look at the sword!

[Looter reaction roll: 5]

One of the looters asks if the others just saw that. They reply that they really did. The three looters, including the one on the ground, stare around the room with visible fright, looking for any signs of an evil (or perhaps just lawful) presence!

((Hey Harry, if it isn't too much trouble, can you put the translated version of Yorinnsud's language in a spoiler underneath? Due to time-zone constraints and my schedule you post at about the time when I only have my iPad/phone for internet and they can't display scrollover text for some reason.))

Inquire as to constraints of soul-binding and how it can be broken.

Next to a few good mages...

Yorinnsud continues his line of inquiry in his quest to become the best-informed undead creature around! He asks how one would go about breaking this soul-enslavement thing.

[Magical Dudes knowledge roll: ?]

"Akhar-kharimzitan. Zur-amazpalitis. Zur-redizan. Zur-shilikhan." ("Hell-creatures. They not bad. They help. They break.")

Yorinnsud's pretty sure that might be heresy. But who is he to judge?


In the streets of Emlocke...

Luke, determined to not miss his date, realizes he must look harder and faster!

[Search roll: 2]

Sadly, his oblivious nature complicates this somewhat. Is that tower, this tower, the tower over there or no tower at all? Bloody hell, he's spent an hour on this!

" I won't give up! For the sake of my love I WILL NOT GIVE UP!"
Wuick prayer to gods, then continue searching.

Lost in Emlocke...

Luke vows not to give up, motivated by the promise of some sweet chair booty he'll be getting a piece of tonight! He tries a quick prayer to get the creative forces of navigation flowing in his brain!

[Prayer roll: 1]

"Oh, Almiria, show me the way to your son's temple so that I may find and kill this one guy and get back to my wizard masters in time to engage in unholy courtship with a talking piece of furniture!"

For some reason he seems to be getting a hint of disapproval from the heavens.

[Divine retribution roll: 2]
[Perception roll: ?]

Nothing seems to be happening, though. Well, looks like he got off easy-

[Dodge roll: 4-1-1]

A tree falls right on him! This is pretty odd, since he's pretty sure he hadn't seen any trees when he was searching around!

[Endurance roll: 6]

He sort of wiggles out from under the tree, his wooden skin slightly cracked, then gets up and gets back to searching.

[Search roll: 4]

He eventually locates the temple of Velusius! Turns out that yeah, the tower with the skulls was the right one. Now, where did his masters say the demonologist was hiding...

" If its any consolation gods, the man is trying to summon demons in your sons temple."
Do the only logical thing, enter the temple and say hi to anyone who's around, including the pews.

Cut off the creature's arms. Then legs. Then slowly feed him to Squishy.

Outside a Velusian temple...

Luke, not really in the attention-paying business, decides to go into the temple and say hi to people! After opening a giant door, he comes into a large hall decorated with lots of bones and stuff. All the furniture looks to be fashioned in the shape of bones.

[Furniture whispering roll: 5]

"So, how's it going, pews? Having fun?"

"No, not really. Nobody's around anymore. We're kind of lonely."

"How terrible for you."

"Indeed."


Next to a chest of possible treasure...

Tom once again tries to dismember the metallic fellow.

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

With a mighty swipe he slices off one of the metallic man's arms! More silvery fluid pours out of the stump!

"I really should invest in better armor for them."

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

The metallic minion pushes Tom away once more!

[Metallic Minion morale roll: 3]

"Eh, better cut my losses."

The metallic body attempts to escape in the commotion!

[Metallic Minion escape roll: 6]

It grabs the head and storms away at a half-running, half-leaping pace! Surprisingly spry for a metal man.

'Victory! Now, that's enough celebration. Time for more important matters. Loot!'

Feed the metal arm that the minion left behind and feed it to Squishy. Whether or not Squishy likes metal arm, check the crate of magical goodies.

((Thanks.))

Yorinnsud has an idea! Maybe his people's goddess can aid him!

Ask about the goddess (insert name here) and if she could possibly aid me.

((Don't worry Mark. Almost done here. Soon we'll go get you those new legs.))
