Hit on the snakes

Hey it worked for the pyro
Hit on the snakes then when they are distracted kill

[Harry Baldman]

In a bloody square...

Mark, taking a page out of his pyromaniac buddy's playbook, compiles a quick note to the snakes!

[Writing roll: 4]

Ladies, ladies! There's no point in doing anything rash, you know. I know there's very little of me to go around, but you should sort that out amongst yourselves. After all, if you tear apart the Mark, there's less of the Mark to go around, you know what I mean?

[Snake 6 will roll: 3]
[Snake 7 will roll: 4]
[Snake 8 will roll: 6]
[Snake 9 will roll: 3]

Two of the snakes seem confused by the note! The other two, meanwhile, continue their assault!

[Snakes 7 and 8 vs. Mark: 2+2 vs. 3+2]

Mark, however, skillfully evades their advances and tries to eliminate them in the meantime!

[Mark vs. Snake 7: 2+2 vs. 1+1]

He cuts nicely into one of the snakes' sides, releasing a small amount of silvery blood from it!

[Ghost Dude telekinesis roll: 1]

The ghost tries to help him, but merely ends up catapulting Mark up in the air! As Mark flies upwards, he witnesses the pyromaniac weirdo make another attempt at reptilian seduction!

"Oh, baby, play rough with me! I love it when they play rough!"

[Snake 5 will roll: 3]

The snake he's currently combating appears to be quite creeped out, retreating from him and going after the Gofites instead!

[Gofites vs. Snakes 2 and 4: 3+3 vs. 6+2]

The Gofites, meanwhile, seem to be trying to beat the snakes down with sheer numbers, but it doesn't seem to be working too well for them!

[Snakes 2, 4 and 5 vs. Gofites: 4+3 vs. 1+3]

They wrap around two of the less important Gofites and commence some coordinated strangulation!

[Gofite 3 endurance roll: 4]
[Gofite 4 endurance roll: 3]

Though they put up a valiant effort, they clearly won't be able to keep this up for long.

[Mark landing roll: 5+1]

Mark, meanwhile, lands nearby without any apparent damage, but with plenty of apparent style!

[killerhellhound]

Help the gofites using the awesome from the landing and my weapons

[killerhellhound]

Help the gofites using the awesome from the landing as my weapons
Revision of my action wanted the gm to catch it

[Onyxjew944]

Begin searching other homes for delicious loot!

((I think I'm going to start compiling a list of my current delusions. Probably going to name is Adventurer's Syndrome.

[Harry Baldman]

In a bloody square...

Mark tries to harness the pure style from his landing as a deadly weapon!

[Harnessing roll: 3]

He does a cool pose, then goes on his way!

[Mark vs. Snake 2: 6+2 vs. 2+1]

He slices one of the snakes strangling a Gofite into tiny little pieces! Hooray!

[Ghost Dude telekinesis roll: 6]

The ghost rips the two snakes off the other Gofite and flattens them in the air through sheer force of will! He then hurls the two resulting metal plates at some of the other snakes!

[Snake 6 dodge roll: 5+1]
[Snake 9 dodge roll: 4+1]

However, the two confused snakes lying about where Mark used to be are too quick, expertly evading their flattened brethren! They and the two other remaining snakes regroup and consider their next move!

That is, they would if they weren't interrupted by the pyromaniac weirdo crawling toward them!

"Come to me, snakes! We could have such magical adventures together!"

[Snake morale roll: 5]

They decide to gang up on the weirdo!

[Snakes 6-9 vs. Pyromaniac Weirdo: 3+3 vs. 2-1]

The pyromaniac weirdo is soon covered in snakes wrapping around him, crushing every little bone in his body!

[Pyromaniac Weirdo will roll: 1]
[Pyromaniac Weirdo will roll: 1-1]
[Pyromaniac Weirdo will roll: 4-2]

After a short period of crushing, the pyromaniac weirdo stops resisting the snakes! In fact, he doesn't move very much at all. Um...


In the streets of Emlocke...

Tom keeps on looking for fun stuff in other homes as well!

[Search roll: 4]

Well, there's some sort of opulent mansion on the outskirts of town. Looks pretty haunted, so it shouldn't be too poor in terms of treasure.

[Mansion lack of security roll: 5]

It is completely open and unlocked, all the windows are open and there are no guard dogs or constructs in sight. Neato. He goes right in.

Hm, this is a pretty big place. Lots of rooms to explore, it looks like - dining room, study, bedrooms, library, basement, kitchen and many, many more. Though this house, very much like the previous one, looks pretty thoroughly ransacked. There still might be something around, though.

[killerhellhound]

roaring rampage of stomping on the snakes for killing our friend lead the group in do it

[Harry Baldman]

In a bloody square...

Mark, seeing his buddy become an unfortunate casualty of rampaging snakes, counters with a triumphant charge at the treacherous serpents!

[Ghost Dude telekinesis roll: 5]

The ghost lifts up each one of the snakes and stretches them out in the air, which opens them up for Mark and the Gofites to bash, slice and mutilate them into slightly less alive versions of their former selves. It takes but a short while for the now-paralyzed snakes to be dispatched, their agile bodies immobilized for optimum execution potential.

After the elimination of the snakes, Mark ceremoniously stomps on each of their heads as a gesture of anger and dissatisfaction.

[Onyxjew944]

Check the study, then the basement, followed by kitchen.

[Harry Baldman]

Inside a suspiciously open mansion...

Tom checks the study for anything useful.

Yeah, it seems to have a few bookcases, but the general mess of books on the floor - virtually all of them relating to gardening or exotic animals in some manner - seem to indicate that anything particularly obvious was probably taken by whoever got here first. Though the books do seem like they would be rather valuable. There is a particular one lying a small distance away from the rest, as though it had been picked up. Tom checks it out.

It looks like a book on subterranean exploration and lifeforms, and it is a rather informative manuscript containing detailed information of what you may find in the abyssal depths of elaborate cavern systems. There are even a whole bunch of blank pages at the end for the owner to make notes of their own, which the owner seems to have used extensively to detail the fauna, flora and other features of Emlocke's vast and improbably elaborate cave system. Interestingly enough, one of the pages at the very end looks to have been torn out.

Since the rest of the books hardly look like anything special, Tom just keeps this one and checks the basement.

It is full of empty barrels, some of which smell of wine, some of which carry the telltale odor of various pickled foods. There are also some dirty sacks around, though they are hardly a cause for excitement. Tom heads upstairs and goes into the kitchen.

What he sees before him is a real mess on the floor - it looks like somebody has been hard at work opening a massive steel closet, with their only reward being a vast array of sharp knives of various sizes, spoons, pots, pans and all kinds of other things that the owner probably locked up to avoid vagrants coming in and stealing everything. Since mages, though they are undoubtedly vagrants, are probably slightly beyond the utilization of cooking implements in their schemes, these have been left alone upon their discovery.

However, they, in their disappointment, seem to have missed a true treasure - a set of 5 tiny glass flasks filled with a sand-colored powdery substance with the label "Wonder Spice" in large red letters proudly showing on their plain white labels. Under it, in small black letters, there are the words "Satisfaction Guaranteed", so you know it's good!

[Onyxjew944]

Gather the flasks. Check through the book for any information on the crystals. Use the one currently possessed for reference.

[Harry Baldman]

In a suspiciously open mansion...

Tom, after gathering up the five flasks of Wonder Spice, looks in his cave book for any references to crystals.

After leafing through both the book and the notes after it discussing Emlocke in particular, Tom can't find a single reference to crystals like the ones he saw. Any cave crystals mentioned in the book are described minimally as features of interest and pretty things to look at, but little else. Tom also notes that none of the crystals actually noted in the book are reported to glow - there is glowing fungus, glowing plants and even glowing jellyfish-like beasts from the darkest pits of desolation, but no glowing crystals.

Hm. This probably means something.

[Xanmyral]

[Bet'cha the page the old lady had was the torn out page in the book.]

[Spinal_Taper]

"So, what's the plan after we get out of here?

[Harry Baldman]

In a bloody square of some kind...

As Darren floats alongside the band, he can't help but ask yet another good question.

"So, what's the plan after we get out of here?

A genuinely confused look passes over the band leader's face.

"Uh... right. We should do something. But I ain't got a plan. I figured we'd win if we got all the people out into the square and made them dance til' they died or something. But since we haven't been, like, contacted by some kind of herald, I guess that means there's still mages left to... uh... eliminate somehow. So I guess we should be doing that, but I ain't got any idea how to do this. We ain't diviners, you know."
