In the basement of the Temple of Velusius...Despite his severe lack of tools,
Mark starts his very next
Yorinnsud Improvement Project, or YIP.
[YIP roll: 4]
He takes a bunch of arm bones and makes a pair of makeshift wings for Yorinnsud, attaching them to the shoulder blades. They look pretty, but do little else, unfortunately. He supposes Yorinnsud could use them to sort-of stab people. Although these particular bones are not particularly sharp. Ho hum and all that.
Sometimes he just feels so uninspired.
In the woods...Faced with a charging and possibly inebriated stranger,
Tom tries to bite the bugger's ankles with extreme ankle-prejudice.
[Tom vs. Stranger: 5 vs. 2-
1]
He chews one of the stranger's ankles clean off! Oh dear!
[Stranger balance roll: 1]
This is obviously not a very good thing for one as inebriated as this guy, as he immediately falls backwards, braining himself on the head with his impromptu club, then losing grip on the branch as it rolls into a nearby ditch.
"Augh, dammit! Why does this always happen to me!"[Tom vs. Totally Trashed Stranger: 1 vs. 2-
1-
1]
Tom watches in amazement as the stranger tries to roll away, but only manages to get himself tangled in a thorn bush. He'd nibble on the helpless fellow, but he seems to be in extreme pain already, and it seems quite inappropriate to bite someone who is already screaming hideously.
[TTS entanglement management roll: 4]
The stranger manages to free himself from the bush and chooses to use Tom's general confusion to kick at him!
[TTS vs. Tom: 2+
1-
1 vs. 2+1]
He misses utterly and completely. Oh well. Time to rob him even of the minor joy of kicking.
[Tom vs. TTS: 6 vs. 6-
1-
1]
He grabs the stranger's other ankle and chews with all his might! He gets about a third of the way through before the man tries to kick himself free!
[TTS vs. Tom: 4 vs. 1+1]
This time, oddly enough, he is kicked away a good distance! Looks like it's hard to miss a skeleton that is chewing on your foot. Tom considers his next move as he dusts himself off from about ten feet away.
