In an elevated basement...

Mark writes up another question for the Artiste, hoping for a pleasing answer.

How do I get in and out of the building without getting someone else to drag me in?

[Exit roll: 6]

He points at a solid stone wall nearby.

"Why, just dive into that wall over there. Remember where you land."

Hm. Not quite what he had in mind, but it's an exit nonetheless. Presumably.


In the streets of Emlocke...

Tom endures the oppressive glare of the winter sun and attempts to perform the long-awaited encore of his award-winning show, Emlocke on Fire!

[Pyromaniac destruction roll: 6]

He runs about several blocks, making sure to set them on fire in a manner that all but ensures their destruction. A marvelous start, to be sure!

[Fire control roll: 5]

The blocks burn down nicely, but the fire does not spread an inch beyond them! Damn it, his technique is too impeccably accurate and precise!

Percentage of Emlocke burnt down already - 22 percent!

Inside an elevated basement...

Mark takes the Artiste's word and runs right into the wall he pointed out!

Moments later, he finds himself on the cobblestones outside. He appears to have emerged out of a wall of one of the surrounding buildings. Mark looks around to get his bearings.

[Perception roll: ?]

Ooh, there's a plume of smoke! And plumes of smoke can only mean one thing - new recruits! He runs right over there!

[Recruit roll: 5]

It's the pyromaniac weirdo! Still a pyromaniac and weird, it looks like. Good for him!

In the streets of Emlocke...

Seeing how the pyromaniac weirdo may come in handy later, Mark tries to make him join the group. But to do this, he must first write a note!

Once he's done with writing it, he hands it to the awful fire-obsessed creature, who then reads it.

awesome gear and free repairs follow me

[Pyromaniac Weirdo reaction roll: 1]

"No, I must burn things. Burning, burning, burning. Burning is what I do. Yes."

[Pyromaniac Weirdo burning roll: 3]

He tries to set fire to Mark, but it doesn't work, see, because Mark is mostly metal and the wood of the tree forming his head is too moist and alive to be easily flammable! The pyromaniac weirdo does manage to singe a few leaves on his crown, though.

Begin burning more of Emlocke

"High percentage of mages here, see? Must burn. Burn is safe. Burn is good. Warm."

In the streets of Emlocke...

Tom, after briefly considering a good justification for why he's so determined to burn Emlocke, continues his quest, still completely alone as far as he knows.

[Pyromaniac destruction roll: 2]

You know, it's not really satisfying if you can't hear the screams of fiery mutilation. Just feels like something's missing, ya know? Tom sits down and contemplates his loneliness for a long moment.


In the streets of Emlocke...

Mark, not ready to give up on the pyromaniac weirdo, writes out another note!

stuff to help you burn things follow me

[Pyromaniac Weirdo reaction roll: 5]

"Oh, there's something that will help me burn stuff? Score! Lead the way, tree-person!"

He follows Mark back to the tower along with the ghost and the Gofites. It's a rather strange procession, all in all.


In the main square of Emlocke...

Darren flies back to the band, whereupon they stand around on the roof for a bit. After a few minutes, the band leader gets a clue.

"Yeah, I guess we should be, I dunno, leaving? Yeah. That's probably a good idea."

They then descend the staircase and reach the first floor. Together they move the wardrobe out of the way, making sure not to scratch the floor or make a particular ruckus. It is at this point that they notice that the door's still locked.

Outside the Artiste's tower...

Mark motions for all his followers to get into the tower right after him, and they do, diving through the wall right after him. They all gather in the elevated basement room and stand before the Artiste!

"Ah, you've brought more. Excellent work!"

The Artiste then proceeds to bind the pyromaniac weirdo and the Gofites.

"Keep up the good work there. Get more minions, kill more people. Simple."

Inside the tower of the Artiste...

Mark has one more request of the Artiste, and to make it, he has to write another note!

Is this the whole tower and if not can I have a section for planing and creating

[Section availability roll: 4]

"Why, of course you can have a section for planning and creating! In fact, we prepared one for you in advance, knowing how much you like science and medicine!"

He points to a door that says "Mark's Room" in one of the corner's of the basement. That's awfully kind of him, actually.
