Within the halls where illusions rule...Jordan puts down the corpse he's holding and waits for some more victims to arrive! And they do! The running fellow, a man in extremely extravagant robes that appear to change color all the time and three other illusionists with an air of experience about them!
"What's going on here? Who killed these people?""Something nasty, Head Illusionist! A ghost, maybe!""A ghost? What?""Dear chaps, I assure you that whatever happened here, it most certainly was not a ghost!""Who said tha-"[Jordan vs. Head Illusionist: 3+1 vs. 6-2-1-1+
1]
The Head Illusionist is grazed by an axe blade edging perilously close to his neck! Whew, he was almost a goner back there!
"Idiots! It's some invisible creature!"[Head Illusionist magic roll: 1+1]
The Head Illusionist waves his hands, but nothing happens!
"Damn it all!"[Jordan vs. Head Illusionist: 5+1 vs. 4-1-1-1]
"Let me help you with those hands, old chap!"Both of the Head Illusionist's hands are severed at the wrist! Massive amounts of blood spurt out! However, that is nothing compared to the spurt of blood created when the Head Illusionist loses his claim to the first part of his title! He becomes an impromptu fountain of arterial blood and falls to the ground!
[Illusionist morale roll: 5]
"Holy crap, guys! He killed the Head Illusionist! Let's get 'im!""But we can't see 'im!""Don't worry, I'll take care of that!"[Illusionist 1 magic roll: 2]
"Now, how did this go again?""Let me jog your memory, dear fellow!"[Jordan vs. Illusionist 1: 4+1 vs. 6-2-1-1]
Jordan swings his axe once more, this time going for the knee to maintain originality! He manages to slice off both the illusionist's legs, sending him to the ground while gushing blood!
[Illusionist morale roll: 3-
1]
The less experienced and uninjured illusionists run off, leaving only the more experienced ones still near Jordan!
[Exp. Illusionist 1 magic roll: 2+1]
[Exp. Illusionist 2 magic roll: 3+1]
[Exp. Illusionist 3 magic roll: 4+1]
Through collective straining, the three illusionists manage to make Jordan visible again!
"Good show, chaps! It was getting quite boring, beheading each and every one of you without even giving you a chance to fight back!"[Jordan vs. Exp. Illusionist 3: 1+1 vs. 6-2-1]
Jordan waits while the three illusionists get ready for gentlemanly combat!
Above the university...Alaric descends upon the university from up above and begins looking for the fellow in the Metamorphosis Department!
[Searching roll: 5]
He finds the place immediately and goes in! There he is - a strikingly beautiful man that appears to bend the very boundaries of reality with his incomparable beauty!
[Reaction roll: 2]
The man turns to Alaric!
"What the fuck do you want, asshole?"Inside the Magical Botany Department...James believes he has gotten everything he needs from the Magical Botany Department! Time to head to greener pastures!
[Building choice roll: 1]
Having exhausted the botanical sciences, he heads over to the Magical Zoology Department!
Deep underground...Leon is in an odd situation. Oh well, might as well do something.
[Limb mastery roll: 6]
He launches into a fantastic dance routine, his halberd feet clanging against the stone floor of the room! His legs and arms move surprisingly dextrously for a being made of metal! It is indeed an amazing physical feat, and it has an obvious effect on his observers as well!
[? roll: ?+
1]
The room once more fills with whistling sounds as the creatures seem to be observing Leon!
[Intelligence roll: 6]
His movements must have some kind of magical influence on the creatures around here! Doubtlessly they know no cave-thing who can move like dat!
He feels a very heavy, lumbering creature rise from somewhere! A spectral, echoing sound, then a blinding flash of white light shines into Leon's eyes! When he comes to, he is not underground at all! Sunlight hits his eyes like a piercing lance to the skull!
He is in a decently furnished room. There are three odd-looking men there with him.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Wizard Who Are No Good At Magic: The Illusion Department!
