Far up in the sky...
Luke tries to streamline himself and become a shark-like projectile aimed at the quick-stepper!
[Streamlining roll: 2]
Wow, that's actually a bit harder than it might look! Luke flops around in the air, but doesn't manage to become any faster. He and the jerkwad below him are still falling at the same rate!
[Jerkwad perception roll: ?]
The guy seems to be looking around for something, but is unable to find it! He looks a bit impatient.
[Jerkwad magic roll: 5+1]
Suddenly, he outstretches his arms, becomes oddly elongated and twisted for a few seconds, moving upwards as though sucked through a straw! He seems to be back at the door's height, about 50 feet above Luke. He is still falling, however.
Inside a flying house of some sort...
Mark, upon judging the sky to be too boring to keep examining, goes out to find Yorinnsud. He finds her examining and manipulating some sort of odd device.
[Yorinnsud experimentation roll: 1]
After not seeing any sort of buttons to press or other things to do, Yorinnsud decides to place two of her hands into the depressions.
Suddenly, several bands of metal erupt from the plate, constricting themselves uncomfortably around Yorinnsud's hands and arms! It doesn't look like these were meant for hands, strictly speaking.
In the yard of a spooky mansion...
Darren, upon realizing the offer given him, graciously and emphatically accepts!
"YES!"
"Awesome, dude! Our first gig's on top of the town hall. There's nasty dudes in the way, so we're gonna have to get bad in a good way, if you know what I mean."
"Those were the guys from the College of Magical Studies, right?"
"Guys and gals, yep. Shouldn't be too hard to take 'em down, ya know. Not with the power of friendship and teamwork!"
Darren, in the spirit of friendship and teamwork, two things that go together as well as magic and megalomania, floats over to the town hall with the others. From the outside, it looks harmless enough.
"Alright, dudes. Let's begin. Give it your best shot! Whistle for us, Spooky Dude! Whistle like you've never whistled before!"
All the other band members except one produce their respective instruments - drums, a lute, some sort of strange key-based instrument and an oversized, incredibly complex-looking metal horn. The fifth just begins to gesture oddly.
Inside a cave with a bear skeleton...
Tom tries once more to assimilate into the bear skeleton! But how would he be able to do this best?
[Intelligence roll: ?]
He has no idea. Zero clues. Connecting spines didn't work, what else could he try?
