Next to a still-barred house...Luke comes to the wise conclusion that looking cool is better than having functional arms. With that in mind, he prepares to counter the insidious Sharkhammer once more!
[Sharkhammer vs. Luke: 5 vs. 4+1]
As he tries to grab the nasty thing, it nearly bites his hands off! Not terribly surprising, but it still brings up more than a few unpleasant issues with this plan. Like the fact that he's attempting to catch a metal shark. With his bare hands.
Outside a spooky mansion...Standing outside the mansion,
Darren begins the process of waiting for meddling kids to arrive so that proper tormenting can begin. That's what ghosts do, right?
[Visitor roll: 3]
A lone fellow with a big, bushy beard walks past after about thirty minutes of waiting on Darren's part. He seems to be going out of his way to avoid the mansion, though who can say what the reason for that is. Probably something crazy, judging by the look of the guy.
In the halls of the Office of Order...Yorinnsud, rather than search for somebody helpful, tries to just wait for someone to turn up.
[Turning up roll: 5]
He sits down on the ground and hopes that an angel will provide aid. He waits for a good ten minutes, but eventually a creature draws near! Yet another one of the minions of Almiria, it looks like - an angular humanoid with a wide face and a ridiculously large beak-like nose. It almost passes right by Yorinnsud, only turning to him as it is halfway to the glowing door! It speaks with a voice like an exploding harp.
"You there! What are you doing here? Are you lost? Do you need guidance?"In a mage-infested village...Tom, upon noticing the large number of people out for his blood, decides to tactically advance directly away from this place.
[Tom escape roll: 2]
[Mage pursuit roll: 2]
He runs and stumbles through several streets before finding a road leading out of the town! He hears magic going off behind him!
[? magic roll: 6]
[? magic roll: 5]
[? magic roll: 6]
What comes next is a massive cloud of razor-sharp metal objects flying at him at an unhealthy velocity. A
most unhealthy velocity. The blades seem to be aimed to blanket the entire area Tom is in with a deadly metal projectile rain!
[Tom dodge roll: 4]
Tom, not seeing any way this could end well for him if he stayed outside, dives behind a stone wall! He is very surprised, though mostly unharmed, however, when many of the blades manage to pierce it in their downward trajectory. Left sitting behind a pile of rubble, he tries to run once again!
[Tom escape roll: 1]
[Mage pursuit roll: 1]
He is about to try and escape, but he hears the sound of high-fiving back in the village! Clearly, they believe they got him. Better not dispel such notions.
After waiting for about ten minutes, most of the talking subsides and there is the sound of opening and closing doors. Thinking the coast is clear, Tom proceeds away from the area.
[? perception roll: ?]
As soon as he tries, though, there comes a yell from the village and there is at once the sound of mobilization! Better run now!
[Tom escape roll: 3]
[Mage pursuit roll: 1]
By the time the mages can actually get together to attempt anything against Tom, the skeleton is long gone. He runs along the road and tries to seek out a brand-new town that better have explosives in it, dammit!
[Search roll: 4]
After wandering for an hour, he notices that the forest seems to be thinning. Eventually it turns into an open plain, at which point he notices the lights of what seems like a town in the distance. A much friendlier-looking town than that village, to tell the truth.
Next to a bunch of crying people...Mark inconspicuously approaches the two crying people.
[Man perception roll: ?]
The man turns immediately at the skeletal arrival and looks at him suspiciously. Aw, don't be like that, see, Uncle Mark is going to make things all better!
[Mark vs. Man: 6+1-
1 vs. 4]
Mark then clonks the man on the head most suddenly with the hilts of his daggers!
[Man endurance roll: 3]
The man looks pretty dazed by this, stumbling and falling backwards. What a weak guy he turned out to be.
[Woman perception roll: ?]
The woman glances at the prone form of her buddy! She seems to be quite surprised.
[Mark vs. Woman: 3 vs. 6]
Just as Uncle Mark leans in to make things all better again she twists around and quickly gestures at him!
[Woman magic roll: 6]
Mark suddenly feels somewhat unsteady on his feet! This turns out to be an entirely justified feeling, as he is immediately swept away by a very strong gust of wind! He is carried into the heavens by the airflow, then just stops and is left hanging in the air.
Isn't that just wonderful?
