Check how much of Emlocke was just destroyed. Once again search for explosive materials.

In Building Six...

Luke, willing to follow his dreams, attempts to dramatically walk out of the building and over to the pedestal!

He realizes he doesn't have any legs as soon as he rolls out of the bed and hits the ground. He settles for a non-dramatic bounce instead.

"Hey, voice, want to go see what the pyramid does?"

Can't leave the house. You can go ahead, though. I'll watch from here.

Luke slowly bounces out of the house and advances toward the pyramid. As he does this, he is assailed by all the other voices screaming into his head!

TOUCH THE PYRAMID

BUILDING THREE BUILDING THREE BUILDING THREE

<!!!$$$%%%>

Why, Luke thinks that he will, in fact, touch the pyramid! When he reaches the pedestal, he makes a mighty bounce and touches the pyramid with his head! At that moment, most of the voices yell incoherently in unison!

[Will roll: 2]

He is horrified to see the pink pyramid begin to expand rapidly, engulfing his head immediately! His body is similarly engulfed momentarily! He experiences a twisting, spinning sensation combined with a vague impression of flattening and reshaping of his bodily surfaces! And the pink! Oh gods, the pink! Pink, pink everywhere!

After being trapped in what feels like a miasma of pink for an eternity, Luke suddenly finds himself on the ground next to the pedestal, the pink pyramid still resting on it securely. Something has changed, though. Something important.

Luke eventually becomes aware of what it is: he is now a Pink Tetrahedron!


In Bernie's inn...

Mark gets out of the basement only to find good ol' Yorinnsud quite incapacitated! Most unfortunate, that. Better fix her.

[Mark medicine roll: 3]

Well, she isn't actually broken in any way. In fact, her limbs are in remarkably good condition, all things considered. It is just that they seem to have gotten it into them to just seize up and wrap around her in a most peculiar manner. Mark surmises that magic is probably involved.


Elsewhere in Emlocke...

Tom takes careful inventory of the houses destroyed by the fire!

Hm, it appears that only ten to fifteen fires like that, and the town will be entirely leveled. Although there might be complications with that.

After thinking on this for a while, Tom realizes that he still needs explosives! He also remembers that he left this town exactly due to lack of such things in ready availability.

[Intelligence roll: ?]

He can't think of a good place he might have missed the first time around, either.

In the middle of a miniature cul-de-sac...

Luke can't be said to be exactly satisfied with his new form, though he is hardly in a good position to comment on it. Instead, he rolls to Building Six with some difficulty. Now he knows what dice feel like, and it is far from pleasant. He attempts to communicate with the voice.

~Hey, voice! Can you hear me?~

<!!!@@@%%%^^ii> <$$##@@!!!!!!> <ii&**&ii>. <&&&&####$$$$iiii> <*((**llll!!!!>?

It appears that it can, and that it is intent on speaking to Luke in absolute gibberish. Thanks a lot, voice!


In Bernie's inn...

Mark, not really feeling like the expert on Yorinnsud's kind of problem, chooses to refer her to the closest thing he knows to a specialist - that necromancer guy! He runs downstairs and attempts to attract his attention.

[Nonverbal communication roll: 6]

He takes the necromancer by the shoulders and shakes him vigorously!

"What in gods' names are you doing?"

Mark then puts him down and beseeches him to follow!

[Bernie helpfulness roll: 3]

Bernie follows him up. When Mark points out Yorinnsud, Bernie claps his hands together and grins.

"Oh, nice work on her there. Like the dress, especially. Fits her nicely, I'd say!"

Mark kicks at Yorinnsud, hoping to illustrate her paralyzed state better.

"Can't move, eh? Well, not exactly my sphere of magic, you know. Can't help her in any way."

He scratches his chin.

"If you ask me, she'll probably be up and moving soon anyway. I mean, unless she has issues overpowering mental commands, heh. It'll probably sort itself out eventually."

He then turns around and goes back into the basement.

'Damn, figured the universe just might be worth a shot.'

Start another fire. Go to the Inn if it hasn't already burned down.

"Tha's much *hic* better! Now le's party!"Look for drunk ghost women. Then drunkenly flirt with them, hoping that it doesn't work out like every other relationship a rock star had ever.

In Building Six...

Luke, not really keen on making conversation with somebody who spouts gibberish all the time, goes off to look for somebody who is not a total blithering idiot. Perhaps even his friend, whoever that might be.

[Search roll: 2]

Well, nobody like that in Building Six, that's for sure, and Luke doesn't even know where to begin looking outside. Those guys all seem pretty stupid as well. All in all, it is a circus of idiots around here, and he gets to be the dancing monkey.


In Emlocke...

Tom figures that more fires probably couldn't hurt. Well, not him, at least. He attempts to start fires with his one and only arm.

[Pyromaniac destruction roll: 4]

It seems to work okay. A house is now on fire, even if isn't a very exciting fire. Satisfied with a job well done, he rolls off to the inn.

[Fire control roll: 2]

Meanwhile, the fire spreads behind him. All is well. Eventually Tom manages to get to the inn that the necromancer was hiding in. He is passed by a skeleton he can't help but find familiar. It's that guy! Yeah!

Mark pays no mind to the rolling body on the ground, looking for meatier fare this time.

[Yorinnsud will roll: 2]

Since Yorinnsud is in no condition to follow him, he decides to tackle this quest of his alone.

[Intelligence roll: ?]

He wanders around town, finding wandering and mostly harmless leather men, whose limbs are, unfortunately, totally useless to him.


In the streets of Emlocke...

Darren, nice and drunk at the moment, looks for ghostly women to possibly flirt with. After all, what is being a musician worth if you cannot get any groupies?

[Search roll: 1]

Seeing none in the vicinity, he decides to flirt with a particularly interesting piece of masonry near the town hall!

[Flirting roll: 1]

He decides to skip the small talk and get right to the making out. And he does this quite successfully!

"Dude, that's a wall."

Darren pays the leader of the Magic Tones no mind.

In a miniature cul-de-sac...

Luke looks for a friend once more, deciding to search outside and within the other houses this time!

[Search roll: 5]

After being assaulted by different gibberish each time he tries to approach buildings 5 and 4, he tries his luck in number three! As he approaches, something rings out in his head!

Wise choice, Supplicant.

The door to the third house suddenly turns pink and opens. How odd. Well, since Luke is determined to be a dancing monkey, he should probably get in there.
