In a house of some kind...

Luke, possibly in a wise move, acquiesces to the voice's demand and gets up. Then he tries to make sense of the situation around him.

[Investigation roll: 5]

The first step in this investigation is that he looks out of the window. He notices that he seems to be in a brightly illuminated cul-de-sac made up of several houses with a pedestal in the central bit. On that pedestal lies a small pink pyramid. There is absolutely no one around.

Whatever is happening, it is unlikely to be good.


In the streets of Emlocke...

Seeing how it has given them so much trouble, Yorinnsud elects to follow the foul pieces of leather to their destination! Perhaps whoever they lead her to can answer for this dastardly behavior of common materials!

[Leather destination roll: 2]

The pieces lead her and Mark to a totally unremarkable spot in one of the streets. There they stop, though they seem to stir occasionally, twisting and turning.

"Hmm, cultist would be the most probable answer, the pedestal is showing one of three things, their God, an artifact of their God or a murder device. I was captured as some sort of sacrifice, the fact I don't have shackles show either they will pamper me before they kill me or that they want me to escape so they can have some fun with me before killing me, better give them what they want, but first."
Pray to gods, tell about cultists, then smash the window.

Inside a strange house...

Luke tattles to his gods about strange cult-like activity in the area!

This fails to produce lightning bolts to strike people down in any way. Oh well. Time to make a timely and reasonable exit. Luke smashes the window!

And lo, it is smashed! It is smashed most thoroughly!

PINK PYRAMID PINK PYRAMID PINK PYRAMID PINK PYRAMID

The voice just keeps on repeating this incessantly.

Again I'm curious, this voice wanted me to break out this supports one of two Theories, the voice likes me and the pyramid will help me or the voice hates me and the pyramid will kill me or release a cosmic horror. I'm bored now so touching it will obviously work.
Touch the cube, face my fate.

In an odd cul-de-sac...

Luke climbs out of the smashed window and heads toward the pyramid.

TOUCH IT TOUCH IT TOUCH IT TOUCH IT

Alright already. Luke'll touch it if it makes you damn voices happy. As he steps forward, a new voice appears, screaming over the other one.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

A few steps forward, a third, far more dissonant voice appears in his head.

<!!@@##iiii!!> <^^@@%%%%@@$$$$> <**ii####!!!!>

Boy, his head sure is getting crowded. And what is that third voice even saying?

"Ok so the thrilling conclusion to Luke: Shark Holmes. Three voices fight each other in my head, none of them mine, one wants me to touch a triangle with obvious ties to a cult that has captured me, one doesn't want me to and the last is swearing at me or speaking a language that, if I could understand it, would make my brain melt in an unfashionable manner. In conclusion fuck all of you I'm going to hit with a chair."
Find a chair or other blunt object, murder, if I can't find any try to find some cloth and wrap my head in it before head butting it.

In the ruins of a town...

Tom rolls up to the tower and attempts to get in despite the doorknob outside being a bit high.

[Tower lack of security roll: 6]

The door is, interestingly enough, totally open! Tom opens the door and rolls in.

He is met by the sight of a dog, a somewhat pudgy and poorly-groomed rottweiler, eying it curiously. What makes this strange is that it immediately speaks in a low voice.

"Hello there."

[Dog magic roll: 5+1]

The dog barks with great intensity, blasting Tom straight out of the door! He flies several dozen feet and lands into some rubble, his body somewhat shaken up and possibly fractured as well.

[Landing roll: 3]

It is very, very abrasive rubble, too. Tom's body is now covered in terribly uncomfortable scratches and gashes.

[Tom perception roll: ?]

He hears the sound of a door shutting and getting bolted come from his point of origin. How nice.


In a miniature cul-de-sac...

Luke finds all this many voices nonsense troubling. He believes that there is a simple solution to this problem. And this solution is one of his favorites, to tell the truth - blunt objects of murder!

[Search roll: 6]

Oh, there's a pink stick lying right over there! Luke grabs it in his teeth and tries to smash the pyramid!

[Smashing roll: 2]

The pink stick is immediately repulsed by the pink pyramid. Huh.

In a mysterious cul-de-sac...

Luke tries once again to smash the dastardly pyramid!

[Luke intelligence roll: ?]

He tries again and again, but the stick gets repulsed the exact same way every time. Hm.

"Again two options, the pyramid doesn't like the stick or the stick doesn't like the ball...
Any suggestions voices?"
Consult the voices in my head.

Next to a pink pyramid...

Holding the pink stick in his teeth, Luke consults the voices in his head for what is most definitely sound advice.

DON'T TOUCH THE PYRAMID

TOUCH THE PYRAMID

DON'T TOUCH THE PYRAMID

<**&&&iiiiii!!!!!> <$$##&&??>

TAKE THE FOURTH OPTION

TAKE THE FIFTH OPTION

OPTION SIX TAKE OPTION SIX

TOUCH THE PYRAMID

TOUCH THE PYRAMID

DON'T TOUCH THE PYRAMID

DON'T TOUCH THE PYRAMID

PYRAMID TOUCH THE

Gee, they sure are talkative.

In the ruins of a town...

Tom, a jolly roller if there ever was one, continues on his jolly nice way.

[Rolling roll: 4-1]

He rolls down the road.

And rolls.

And rolls.

And rolls.

And rolls.

Then he rolls some more.

Then he bumps into something that gives him a vague burning sensation. Odd. He doesn't see anything obvious that could have caused this.
