In a pile of debris...

Tom attempt to dig himself out of the oppressive debris that is currently crushing him!

[Digging out roll: 4+1]

However, once he puts his metal fingers and equally metal legs to work, the debris proves surprisingly movable! Probably because it's not a cohesive wall anymore! But still, Tom eventually gets out of the pile of debris and stands tall, ready to take on the world!

[Bernie perception roll: 5]

"Ah, there you are!"

[Bernie intelligence roll: ?]

"Time for round two, I think!"

[Bernie magic roll: 5]
[Tom will roll: 6]

Tom emits an ungodly scream as he gets the distinct feeling of being shattered into millions of pieces, then smashed back together with extremely spiky hammers! This time, his flight response kicks in as well, and he runs like hell in the meantime!

[Tom escape roll: 6]
[Bernie pursuit roll: 3]

As Tom legs it away from the scene, he hears Josh laugh like mad!

"Hoo-wee, look at him run! Hahahah!"

He doesn't seem to be running after him, though, so Tom quickly loses sight of the necromancer, dropping flat into a conveniently deserted alley to get his bearings.


Outside a populated basement...

Mark points at Yorinnsud, indicating his desire for her to stay hidden. She seems to understand well enough, so Mark slowly and non-threateningly walks down the stairs into the basement.

[People reaction roll: 6]

As he makes his way down, he notices four people in the room - three women and a man. Three of them - a black-robed and red-robed woman as well as a single golden-robed man - stare at him oddly. The fourth, a woman in multicolored robes, pays no mind to him.

"An undead automaton. He may prove a good minion. Unlike the previous one, he is armed. Missing a leg, however."

"That's true. Maybe I could do something with him!"

"Maybe he's not soulbound and I can enslave him!"

"Dear gods, the sky's the limit!"

"And he cannot talk. Not a bad quality for a minion to have."

They look excited! Well, not the black-robed woman. She just looks somewhat critically at Mark. But they don't seem outright hostile at least.


Inside a house of some kind...

Luke, currently undergoing some transformation anxiety, desperately tries to turn himself into a humanoid whatever!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Maybe he could OH GODS, HE HAS NO CLUE WHAT TO DO! PANIC!

[Pink magic roll: 5-2]

Channeling the raw power of extreme fear, he makes extremely tiny feet appear at the bottom of his vortex form! They don't touch the ground, but there is a certain comfort in being able to wiggle them. Ah, to be limbless no more!

Use my newly functional body to search for a weapon.

Let it begin.

In the home of a mage of some kind...

Luke feels an endorphin rush coming on! Time to go all out!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

It worked the first time, why not just bullshit something again?

[Pink magic roll: 1-1-1]

As he bullshits as intently as possible, he feels the very strands of time begin to unravel for himself! He wields ultimate power! Yes! He is a GOD! Hahahahah! Now he'll just reverse time and everything will be all fine again and he will...

Wait, now he's not a god anymore. He's a pink vortex. He feels his feet disappear, his speed, size and flux altering several times over the course of a second! He then proceeds to uncollapse and reform into a giant clump of pink mist! What is happening, he doesn't even know! What the heck is going on! When he once again begins to shrink to a small size, he cannot take it anymore!

"STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!"

And he stops! Time, noticing what the hell is going on here, immediately rights itself, intent on never letting anything like this happen again! Luke proceeds to become a pink explosion of mist, spreading out along the area!

[Will roll: 5-2]

As he envelops the town, spreading out to an uncomfortable degree, he stops just before he is totally insensible! He has a vague idea of when he may be, but not the where, why or the what exactly. It is incredibly hard to think or concentrate with all these sensations around him. The houses, the ground, the sky - it all results in sensory overload. Luke is barely conscious, a faint whisper hanging in the air, an odd tinge of pink to the area around.

Luke is now a Town-Sized Pink Mist.


In the streets of Emlocke...

Noting an odd faint pink shade about the air, Tom realizes how terribly unsafe this place must be. He opts to search for a weapon to protect himself from harm.

[Will roll: 1+1]

Wait, which way was right? Or left, for that matter? Not to mention north and south? Dear gods, all the streets look the same to him! He is frozen in place at an intersection, unable to see a way out of his predicament!


In a populated basement...

Mark, not a big fan of being experimented upon by mages, brandishes his halberd!

[Mage reaction roll: 3]

"Oh dear. He looks aggressive."

"He seems to feel comforted by his weapon."

"Indeed!"

[Erin magic roll: 6]

Mark's halberd turns into a metallic serpent as the woman in the red robe makes a deft movement with her hands!

[Grappling: Serpent vs. Mark: 5+1 vs. 3+1-1]

The serpent wraps around Mark and brings him to the ground as it sweeps his legs out from under him with its tail, keeping his skeletal body in a tight hold!

"Right then! Let's make him ours!"

"Okay, let me look at my book."

The golden-robed man produces a book from his robe and starts to leaf through it.

"Not a bad showing, Erin. Impressive, even."

"I know, right? Didn't think that would work!"

Meanwhile, Yorinnsud stands outside, minding her own business.

[Yorinnsud perception roll: ?]

It sounds like Mark has things all taken care of down there. That thud was surely the sound of his enemies' heads hitting the ground. And the hiss was probably the death scream of a killer cyclops or something that Mark effortlessly killed. No reason to get involved, at any rate. She's having an enjoyable break, after all.

Looming over the town of Emlocke...

Luke tries to collect himself into a single mass! But first, he must collect his thoughts!

[Concentration roll: 1-1]

Sky. Clouds. Ground. Everywhere. Nowhere.

Something? Nothing.

Oneness? No. An illusion.

Spreading. Solution.

His mass spreads, his consciousness disperses.

[Will roll: 3]

He feels like he might let go soon. Let the dreaming begin.


Inside a well-secured house...

Darren, having received appropriate permission, goes outside and lets the band know everything's good to go!

"Hey guys, we've got the A-OK, as long as we refrain from breaking and stealing things."

There is a collective sigh of disappointment from the band.

"Don't worry, guys - what I thought of is even better! Let's get up to the roof!"

And they do! The band starts to set up their equipment, the most noteworthy of which are two devices - one is a strange sphere, the other is an even stranger box. Mounted on strange stands, both of them seem to serve some strange function, though Darren dares not guess what! The leader, satisfied at the band's work, turns to Darren.

"Okay, Spooky Dude, make sure everything's locked up tight. The groupies will be a lot more relentless this time, I think."

Mark prays to the gods hoping they will help after he build a temple to them and If one of the mages starts casting a spell mess it up by throwing one of my skull sholder plates at them

Wait, I think I just realized why I'm getting all these Will saves. You realize I'm a skeleton, not a vampire, right? Wait, did I somehow contract vampirism?

Keep trying

Looming over Emlocke...

Luke tries to not lose himself in this horrible existence and concentrate!

[Concentration roll: 5-1]

Okay, so he is now a mist. This must be fixed! He must reposition his consciousness somehow!

[Intelligence roll: ?-1]

But how? That remains the eternal question, unfortunately!

[Will roll: 3]

Luckily, the mental distraction does him good! It prevents him from losing hold on himself just yet, giving him more time.


In a populated basement...

Mark, having no better recourse, pesters the gods once again!

[Prayer roll: 6]

He prays to his patron, Rysinia, to give him amazing strength to defeat this vile serpent and escape its grasp! As he clears his head and earnestly begs of the goddess to show him kindness once more, he somehow can tell that he has been heard! And this confidence gives him strength!

[Mark strength roll: 3+1]

He manages to loosen the serpent's hold to get his top half free, and he uses this advantage momentarily as the golden-robed man begins to speak his words!

[Mark interruption roll: 3]

He throws one of his skull shoulder plates at him rather weakly!

[Art dodge roll: 5]

The man, however, dodges easily, not missing a beat!

[Art binding roll: 2]

However, nothing seems to happen as he speaks his words!

[Art intelligence roll: ?]

"Uh, what? Oh, it says 'with conviction'! Silly me. I said it with contradiction."

He seems to be gearing up for round two.

"I'd better stop him from throwing things any more, wouldn't want him to distract ya!"

[Erin magic roll: 3]

Mark's other shoulder-skull twitches oddly, but does little else. Silly mage-woman!


In the streets of Emlocke...

Tom tries to find his way in the horrible one-intersection labyrinth he seems to be trapped in!

[Will roll: 5+1]

He decides to stop being silly and just pick a way to go. And he does this while keeping in mind his need for a weapon!

[Search roll: 3]

Well... there's plenty of loose boards and the like, considering the general level of destruction going on.
