((Perhaps.))

Beat self over head for forsaking old body so readily. Yell out "The five are wankers!" at top of lungs. See what happens.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

No, you're not the unluckiest and luckiest zombie in history. That title is reserved for James and James only.

In the room of the Lower Court...

Yorinnsud decides that physical punishment should be meted out to mitigate the blasphemy he just committed by forsaking his old, mummified, peat-smelling, petrified body without a second thought. He slaps himself upside the head with a stick arm.

Well, now that that's done, Yorinnsud supposes he'll perform a bit of blasphemy to mitigate all the right-thinking he did just now. He yells out that the Five Gods commit depraved sexual acts on themselves while sitting in their celestial thrones of glory!

[Divine retribution roll: 4-1]

He feels kind of weak all of a sudden. The room begins to spin before his single eye. However, it soon settles back into a relatively still position. Relatively still.

In heaven, where everything is fine...

Yorinnsud realizes that he cannot stand for these horrible conditions the authorities of the Office of Order have put him in. He needs to find an appropriate authority figure. He needs to find the Five Gods!

[Search roll: 4]

He heads down a randomly chosen path, passing along several offices before reaching a very large and solid golden door. It seems to have a peculiar pentacle motif to it. Yorinnsud isn't sure why, but he believes that this door may lead somewhere important. Probably all the gold and pentacles.


In the company of looters...

Luke attempts to finish off this awful bunch of ball-tossers with his trusty Sharkhammer! Go, Sharkhammer, go!

[Luke vs. Looter 3: 5+2 vs. 4]

Since it worked so well thus far, he goes for the kneecap again! The Sharkhammer eats it most thoroughly!

[Looter 3 endurance roll: 3]

The looter falls over bleeding and screaming! Well, he looks somewhat neutralized for now, if a bit noisy.

[Looter 1 endurance roll: 4]

The other looter, however, has somewhat recovered already and lets loose another attack in a desperate maneuver to defeat his adversary!

[Looter 1 magic roll: 4-1]

Yet another spitball-sized projectile pierces Luke's torso. Really, man, stop that.

[Luke vs. Looter 1: 1+2 vs. 6-2]

Luke laughs at the foolish mage and slings the hammer over his shoulder! Do your worst mage, and Luke shall weather it, for he is strong and the looter is weak!

The Sharkhammer has a different opinion on the subject, however. Not very good at subtlety, patience, or differentiating between flesh that needs eating and flesh that doesn't, it bites down on Luke's side!

[Luke defense roll: 2+1]

Luke is pretty sure he has one less dead kidney now. And no spleen, either. Oh dear. He looks at his Sharkhammer with a shocked expression! The Sharkhammer, smug bastard that it is, just looks back and grins with its two rows of teeth that have bits of spleen and kidney stuck in them! Not cool, Sharkhammer!


Next to a plundered skeletal exhibit...

Mark tries to hop back to the inn on his two legs, holding them up with his hands!

[Movement roll: 2+1-1]

He finds himself to be totally incapable of hopping anywhere like this. Just can't manage the movements! With that being a resounding failure, he looks for something to help him attach his new legs to his body with!

[Search roll: 2]

There don't appear to be any tools in the area. How sad.

Try again to find saltpetre. Take a few small lidde-jars from the pottery selection.

"Bad shark hammer! I worship you as a god and this is what I get, if you kill those looter assholes I'll let you eat their corpses but only if you stop eating me, but you can keep my spleen, who needs it anyway."
FINISH THEM!

In the streets of Emlocke...

Tom keeps trying to find some saltpeter for a nebulous (as well as probably nefarious) purpose. But where hasn't he looked?

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Maybe it's not actually called saltpeter around here? Maybe it's called niter or something? This deserves investigation.

[Search roll: 3]

Nope, no containers of that around, either. No free piles of saltpeter anywhere, either. What kind of backwards town is this? All the lidded jars one could ever ask for, but no saltpeter.

One might almost think it's not a terribly widely used material in this day and age! Weird, huh?


Next to a Velusian treasure room...

Luke tries to reprimand Sharkhammer, but his bloodthirsty companion is far too busy being an animated metal shark on a stick to listen to the complaints of whiners with a silly sentimental attachment to their internal anatomy. Oh well.

[Luke vs. Looter 1: 2+2 vs. 2-2]

He sort of moves Sharkhammer next to the nearly-dead looter and allows it to do the rest. And it does the rest quite thoroughly indeed, eating most of the looter's chest and thoroughly killing him in the process! Good Sharkhammer! Now eat the other one!

[Looter 3 endurance roll: 1]

Well, there doesn't seem to be much of a need to do this, since Luke's pretty sure the last looter's gone into shock and died on him while he was busy, but he lets Sharkhammer have a nice snack regardless. No harm in that, right?

After a good meal, Luke is surprised to find that Sharkhammer still seems pretty hungry. That thing's insatiable. Even after he lets it eat the other corpse, it still keeps chomping at the air expectantly. Dammit, Sharkhammer, how's a guy supposed to work with you when you won't compromise?

Check for blackpowder. Then nitroglycerin. Then pure sodium. Then flourine gas.

"I swear, when i get back to the mages I'm going to ask them to give you an increased intelligence, then maybe you'll listen once in a while."
Investigate in the room, look for what they wee looting, take it if i can, then look for demon summoner again.

In the streets of Emlocke...

Tom refuses to give up on his quest for big explosions at his fingertips. He looks for volatile and explosive chemicals to use for mass-destruction!

[Search roll: 2]

Apparently alchemy isn't a very popular science around these here parts. Who would have thought, huh? There seem to be none of those things around despite Tom hoping there might be some! Really, are commonly-available explosives too much to ask for in a town mostly made of wood and good intentions?


Outside a Velusian treasure vault...

Luke, intrigued by the sight of shinies, goes to investigate the vault!

There seems to be a lot of useless gold and silver, plus a whole lot of rather stupid-looking ceremonial weaponry around. Oh, and there is a suit of clothing flying under its own power with a whole bunch of swords whirling around it. Is that unusual? Luke's not sure with this place.

"Ooooh sentient clothes and definitely not a ghost, you want to come with me to find a demon summoner?"
Take the clothes that is definitely not a ghost with me if they want, continue my search for Loot Demon mage guy.
