Inside the Illusion Department...Jordan is getting annoyed at the constant missing that's been happening around here! All this invisibility nonsense must be stopped!
[Search roll: 3]
He finds a mostly empty invisible bottle of water on the ground! That could work!
[Lucky water splash roll: 6]
He manages to hit an illusionist in the eye with it! It turns out that it wasn't water at all! It was lemon juice! One illusionist begins screaming bloody murder and possibly rubbing his eyes!
[Jordan vs. Exp. Illusionist 1: 4+1 vs. 1-1-1]
"I say, let me apply my very own special treatment to this awful malady!"He swings the axe! The illusionist stops screaming bloody murder! Mostly because he's been bloody murdered! You can't see it, but his hands and head hit the ground with an audible thud, rolling slightly before coming to a stop!
[Exp. Illusionist 3 perception roll: 6]
[Exp. Illusionist 3 morale roll: 4]
The last illusionist understands all too well what has happened! The axe murderer must pay!
[Exp. Illusionist 3 magic roll: 6+1]
Bright blue light shoots throughout the area! Everything is visible once more!
[Jordan will roll: 5]
[Exp. Illusionist 3 will roll: 1]
The last illusionist freezes in place, his face a mask of abject horror, his eyes blank with pupils dilated! His mouth hangs open, and a small trickle of blood is coming from it! Jordan is about to poke him to see if he needs any more killing, but he is too slow!
For the illusionist's head explodes magnificently, showering everything with a fine layer of brain matter and skull shrapnel! The last illusionist collapses!
"Good show, old chap, good show! Those were the finest fireworks I've seen all day! Bloody boring lead-up, though!"On the road to Fiverock...Samuel is not some street-trash skeletal hobo to take this kind of treatment from a bunch of feathers! He is a mage! They must submit to his power! He must bring the hammer down!
[Magic roll: 1-
2]
Sadly, his cane focus does not allow for such use! He feels himself get lifted off his feet and chucked into the air! Instead, a cane of truly monstrous proportions, about 60 feet in length and 6 feet in thickness, topped off with a skull the size of a house, appears nearby! It strikes the ground!
[Seismic activity roll: 5]
The ground splits and shakes, with a small platform of rock rising up from beneath Samuel! It rises for a while until he can hardly see the feathers anymore! Possibly because the earth has swallowed them up! Eventually, the rising stops. Everything is still. Samuel looks down. Yeesh, he's at least fifty feet in the air! The ground beneath him is covered in perilous pits and holes to what might be the center of the earth! Oh my!
Outside the Magical Zoology Department..."If you are not with me, you are AGAINST ME! DIE!"James slashes at the caterpillar with his halberd!
[James vs. Caterpillar: 1 vs. 5]
Or he would have, if the caterpillar hadn't swallowed his halberd whole first! It attempts to mutilate him some more!
[Caterpillar vs. James: 4 vs. 5]
James pushes the caterpillar off himself and gets some distance between himself and it!
Inside the Energy Manipulation Department...Leon, not really feeling up to practicing his sign language, charges at the woman!
[Energy mage reaction roll: 5]
She immediately reaches for a book in her pocket, quickly opens it on a bookmarked page and reads some words!
[Energy mage magic roll: 6+1]
The heat seems to drain from the room in front of the woman! All of the heat! Leon is completely frozen in place and subjective time!
[Energy mage reaction roll: 1]
The mage sustains severe frost burns just being near the hallway! She clutches at herself in pain and falls backwards!
[Awareness roll: 1]
A lot of energy mages storm into the hallway at the woman's side!
[Other energy mages reaction roll: 2]
Several of them jump backward at the hallway of frost-death, surprised at what's happened!
[Frost-burned woman endurance roll: 5]
The woman who brought Leon into his current state crawls out of the hallway, clearly struggling and suffering, but persevering nonetheless! If Leon were not totally frozen, he would hear rejoiced calls from within, people inquiring as to the state of her health and somebody asking to take her off guard duty!
I'm glad things got moving already. I was getting tired of describing nothing cool happening.
