Inside the Energy Manipulation Department...Leon, his unlife-force leaving him with every passing second, attempts to hold on with all his might!
[Leon will roll: 2]
Oh dear. He has but a tiny spark of unlife left in that metal shell of his! His memories, his thoughts, his emotions are all slipping away into oblivion. All of his adventures, the vampire that killed him, his sister... it all becomes an unfamiliar blur as Leon slowly approaches his second death.
[Leon will roll: 5-
1]
No, it can't be! Was all that for nothing? Did he suffer the horrible things underground for nothing? He got molten metal poured on him and survived, and THIS is what's going to kill him? No, never!
[Magic resistance roll: 1]
Leon attempts to break free, but, sadly, being in near-absolute-zero temperatures is not a state you can just break out of! He has to bide his time!
[Reaction roll: 5]
It isn't long, though, until a mage wrapped in a shield of heat appears in the hallway. He casts a spell!
[Magic roll: 3]
Leon feels himself heat up by about a hundred kelvins. Too bad there's still around two hundred to go!
[Leon will roll: 5-
1]
However, he is still mostly in control of his unlife-force, diminished though it may be. He can halt the flow relatively nicely, though he is weakened somewhat.
[Magic roll: 5]
If Leon had any lungs, he would sigh with relief as the room is returned to its proper temperature! Leon is free from his frosty entanglement!
[Leon endurance roll: 3-
1]
Being subject to such an experience has taken a great toll, however, as Leon drops to the ground, sounding not unlike a falling anvil. For the unlife of him, he cannot move.
[Reaction roll: 3]
[Magic roll: 4]
He is telekinetically pulled from where he fell and dragged through the corridor, occasionally bumping into a wall! He is then deposited in a magically reinforced container! A woman dressed in a golden robe comes in front of the cage, keeping out of Leon's reach.
"Why did you attack my student?"[Nonverbal explanation roll: 4]
Leon gestures that he meant no permanent harm, that he wished to nonlethally subdue the woman who froze him due to her looking awfully unstable and very much like a danger to herself and society, a belief that was proved entirely correct, judging by her extreme, uncontrolled response to his advance!
"I see."She looks Leon over and sighs.
"I will expel you from university grounds. Do not come back here or I will melt your metal shell into a pile of slag. Is that understood?"Inside the Illusion Department...Jordan, despite killing a whole lot of what were obviously illusionists, still thinks this might be the Divination Department! He looks for a scrying amulet!
[Search roll: 1]
After an hour or so of combing the entire building, Jordan finds no traces of anything even resembling a scrying amulet! Cheap illusionist bastards! They'll get theirs! Jordan pulls out one of the still-smoking charred books from the fireplace and puts it near an unfortunately located curtain!
[Fire roll: 4]
The curtains also start smoking a little bit! Perhaps with time and a bit of oxygen, this tiny kiddy-flame could grow into a mighty inferno!
Inside a monastery of some kind...Vincent, covered in blood and still clueless, inspects his goblet for any telltale signs of its purpose!
[Vincent examination roll: 1]
Yep, definitely blood in there. He upends the goblet on the ground to check! Yes, there definitely is a lot more where that came from. About an infinite number of gallons more.
[Commotion roll: 1]
The blood keeps flowing across the floor, spilling outside! There is a woman's yell and a sound of scurrying! Five muscular women in their twenties to forties, clad in red and yellow robes, burst in through the door!
[Vincent quick thinking roll: 5]
Vincent quickly leaves the scene before anyone can question why a blood-covered skeleton is inside the monastery and why is it carrying a goblet of infinite blood! He stands in the next room and listens!
[Women intelligence roll: 5]
"No bodies. The blood is too fresh to have come from a corpse that is nowhere in sight. Either somebody is carrying a bucket of blood, which I doubt would have gone unnoticed, or magic is involved. In either case, we have an intruder. Sound the alarm and mobilize, sisters.""Immediately, Abbess."There is a great commotion around as Vincent hears the sound of steel clanking everywhere! In less than five minutes, the sounds quiet down! He looks outside the room.
Huh. There appear to be knights in full plate armor walking around the monastery, looking for intruders. They're all carrying warhammers and shields.
