I swear to god, someone else can fix this instead of me, it was past me's fault not present me,

Inside somebody's house in Emlocke...

Luke keeps a-talkin' and a-beggin' for the gods to change him back!

"Okay, gods, I'm sorry I insulted you, but you know how it is, being incorporeal is boring, please, change me back."

There is naught but silence and inactivity from the heavens in response. Maybe there's some kind of communication issue? What could it be?

"Hey, we just want to pull of a concert, okay? I was going to let the band in, but to be honest, you  might want to get out before we play. We can be pretty loud."
Go all floor-y diver!  By that, I mean make it so the resident can neither see my stripes or know if I'm clean. If you see what I mean.

Inside a house in Emlocke...

Luke figures that if the gods won't help him, he will attain human form all on his own! Let it be so!

[Pink magic roll: 3-1]

Sadly, it does not look to be something he can simply achieve by thinking about it. It looks like he possesses very little power if you consider the fact that he is kind of a dimensional phenomenon and all.


Inside a far better-secured house in Emlocke...

Not really a big fan of lightning bolts running down his body, Darren tries to distract the man!

"Hey, we just want to pull off a concert, okay? I was going to let the band in, but to be honest, you might want to get out before we play. We can be pretty loud!"

[Tan-Robed Man reaction roll: 6]

The lightning-bolting suddenly stops!

"Oh, you want to play here? Say no more! I have always liked music, actually. Sorry about zapping you, it's just that you're kind of a ghost, and I'm a ghost specialist, and you don't really get to see a lot of ghosts, and then you get overexcited when you actually see one, and then... well, you know."

Well, that's not quite the reaction he expected. Saves him a floor dive, at any rate.

Search for a door, skylight, or other sign of exit.

"Well, as fun as mind-raping you, and watching you fail miserably at torturing me thereby causing yourself a mini-stroke was, I'm gonna have to bail before the second date."

((Seriously hoping he doesn't remember he can just order me to stand still/kill myself/disband me.))

Inside a love-tomb...

Tom figures he really needs to leave before Josh does anything that has any chance of working.

"Well, as fun as mind-raping you, and watching you fail miserably at torturing me thereby causing yourself a mini-stroke was, I'm gonna have to bail before the second date."

[Bernie intelligence roll: ?]

"Gods damn it, you're going to suffer for that remark!"

[Tom quick search roll: 4]

As Tom scrambles to find a door, he is disappointed to find there isn't one! And there aren't any skylights he can see, either! There is, however, a somewhat looser bit in the wall... right there!

[Bernie magic roll: 5]

However, before he can do anything with this knowledge, his world becomes blinding, twisting pain and misery. He falls to the ground with a thud and starts to twitch and writhe around!

[Tom will roll: 3]

Tom finds this needlessly painful and inhumane, though it is unlikely that anybody cares. He can hardly move at all, the pain is so intense!


In a well-secured house of some kind...

Darren, not one to hold a grudge against somebody lightning-bolting him in the back, explains what he needs from this man in a calm and rational manner.

"No prob, everyone has moments like that. So, we were thinking about holding a concert on your roof, that's why they sent me in. Is that okay with you?"

"Yeah, I'll just go into the basement. I'm already up, anyway. So don't mind me. I'll go downstairs and be quiet while you do your thing. Just lock the door behind you and don't. Steal. Anything."

That sounds... oddly agreeable of him.


In the streets of Emlocke...

Mark and Yorinnsud continue to try to stave off boredom by looking for fleshy avenues of medical adventure!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Since there don't seem to be any people around here on the streets, that just leaves the houses as potential treasure troves. Time to start the storming!

[Search roll: 5]

Knowing the habits of mages, the two adventurers head off to an area of the town characterized by relatively harmless-looking houses with spacious basements. And at one particular house, there seem to be voices emanating from said spacious basement. Nervous voices.

[Mark perception roll: ?]
[Yorinnsud perception roll: ?]

Mark manages to make out some of their conversation!

"That guy's not coming back, is he?"

"I do not think he is. Probably dead already."

"So what do we do?"

"Find somebody better."

Next to an unusually occupied house...

Mark, eager to see the occupants of the basement, takes a look inside, opening the trap door leading down there!

[Mark stealth roll: 3]
[People perception roll: 5]

As he opens the door, it emits a slight creak! The voices immediately stop!

"We have been discovered."

"Aw, crap! What do we do?"

"Wait, maybe it's that chair-thing!"

"Doubtful. This one is attempting to sneak in."

There is a pause, then one of the voices - a cold, female one - speaks in Mark's general direction!

"Whoever you are, know that you cannot come inside and live. State your identity and intentions."


Inside a love-tomb...

Tom tries to overcome the horrible, soul-quenching agony he is experiencing and escape before Josh does anything worse to him!

[Will roll: 3]

However, just when he thinks the pain is subsiding, it comes back with new force, twisting and contorting his very being in ways one was probably not meant to experience in a single life. He starts to crawl back toward the loose piece of wood he found, and he pulls on it!

[Strength roll: 6+1-1]

He manages to tug on it, summoning superhuman strength in a second, pulling the bit of debris out of the wall with amazing, pain-fueled force!

The love-tomb, sturdy though it may have been, begins to collapse!

[Bernie debris avoidance roll: 4]
[Tom debris avoidance roll: 1]

Josh seems to understand what is going on immediately, gasping and going for one of the crumbling walls, smashing through and landing safely outside, though he loses his painful hold on Tom's soul in the process! Tom, however, is not quite as quick, what with the whole horrible agony bit, and is buried in what seems like a veritable ton of charred garbage! It seems to be slowly crushing him under its weight!
