I'm thinking the same thing but I dont think Ill live long enough to get to the age of one month
~so what souls do you want souls with big bodies or strong souls with small bodies~

[Harry Baldman]

In the Infinite Black Pit of Darkness...

Mark questions the exact demands of the voices.

~So, what souls do you want - souls with big bodies or strong souls with small bodies?~

~No such thing as a strong soul.~

~All souls are equal.~

~There are, however, minds associated with them.~

~Unnecessary remnants.~

~Simple minds are preferable for our purposes.~

~Animal minds are less trouble than human ones.~

~Humans are easier to capture, subdue, deceive or prepare.~

~Plants and fungi are very easy to catch and have no minds to speak of, though rather difficult to prepare.~

~Complex and alien souls require special rituals.~

~Rituals we have not figured out yet.~

Ah.

[killerhellhound]

~fuck it beam me up random voices and do undead souls work?~

[Harry Baldman]

In the Infinite Black Pit of Darkness...

After much deliberation, Mark has reached a conclusion.

~Fuck it, beam me up, random voices.~

~Careful with that enthusiasm.~

~You might hurt someone.~

~Possibly yourself.~

Wait, Mark has an idea!

~Do undead souls work?~

~Sure. Preparation's the same as people and animals.~

~Unless it's an undead fungus.~

~True enough. Though they, admittedly, are nigh-impossible to kill.~

~Enough dawdling. Concentrate!~

There is a faint hum, then a flash of light! Within a split second, Mark finds himself back in Emlocke.

It's a lot more exploded than he remembers. Weird. And he does have the contract with him now. That's good, he supposes.

find a necromancer after looting the buildings for weapons

[Harry Baldman]

In the exploded streets of Emlocke...

Mark realizes that he probably needs a weapon of some kind. Better get to searchin'! He starts to look high and low, inside houses and outside of them. He comes to the conclusion that they have mostly exploded. And that there are no weapons in ready availability, considering that pretty much the whole town is in a variable state of exploditude.

He does, however, notice one peculiarity. In one shattered street, the road having jutted up, sunk or even just plain exploded in places, there appears to be a woman with a sizable steel hammer and a shield, not to mention a set of full plate armor. She appears to be pursuing a short, frightened man with curly blonde hair wearing tan robes. She also appears to be built like a duke's keep, about an inch away from being seven feet tall.

[Man escape roll: 1]
[Armored Lady pursuit roll: 3]

The lady, clearly somewhat tired, pursues the man at a slow rate. This would be all fine and good, but the man seems to trip on the unfavorable terrain, losing his footing and falling.

"Now I've got you, you little weasel!"

It doesn't look like she likes this man.

[Spinal_Taper]

Grab the coins, pull the invisible thing closer.

[Harry Baldman]

In a bloody square...

Darren, noticing the coins, tries to grab them!

[Telekinesis roll: 1]

He grabs the coins telekinetically, but is disappointed that he can't put them in his pocket, being incorporeal. Meanwhile, the screeching invisible thing drops to the ground!

[Invisi-Thing landing roll: 6]

Judging from the sound of it, the creature was prepared. Crazy prepared. It starts to run immediately after hitting the ground, trying to make a daring escape!

[Darren reaction roll: 1]

As Darren turns back to it, it goes quiet. Wherever it went, good luck finding it now. And then the entire square explodes and collapses into a dark abyss, taking the tree-skeleton-thing and the coins with it. Marvelous. Absolutely marvelous. At least the explosion didn't affect him, what with him being intangible and all. And the house the skeleton fell out of seems pretty intact as well. So maybe it's not actually that bad.

[killerhellhound]

approch the woman and snap her neck from behind

[Harry Baldman]

In the exploded streets of Emlocke...

Mark tries to sneakily approach the armored woman to execute a daring plan.

[Stealth vs. Perception roll: 4 vs. 6]

Luckily, she seems to be rather distracted by the robed fellow. Mark gets right up behind her, then leaps up on her neck and tries to snap it! Mid-jump, however, she seems to sense something, turning around! The result is that Mark kind of gives her a hug.

"What are you doing, creature? You are interfering with my quest! Cease and desist!"

[Man escape roll: 5]

The frightened man, seeing his opportunity, decides to make his escape as rapidly as possible. He disappears into a ruined alley after sprinting away as quickly as a man in mortal peril could, which is to say rather fast indeed.

[killerhellhound]

hold on she carnt stab me if she carnt move her arms also try to choke her or bash her head into a wall

[Spinal_Taper]

Look around. Dive back to band. Explain what just went down.

[Harry Baldman]

In the exploded streets of Emlocke...

Mark realizes that a good idea would be to restrain the woman before she realizes what's going on.

[Grapple: Mark vs. Armored Lady: 3+1 vs. 2+1]

He manages to put his arms around her, restraining her arms somewhat. That is to say she hasn't put up much resistance yet. He doesn't actually know how well restrained she is, to tell the truth.

"I don't understand what you are trying to tell me here, creature! Are you trying to show affection? Because I really have business that needs taking care of."

Well, maybe a bit less subtlety is in order. Mark is about to choke the woman, but then comes to the conclusion that this might not be the best idea for two reasons, mostly. The first of these is that her neck seems to have an armored collar around it exactly to prevent such attacks and worse. The second is that he would have to let go of her arms to do this. He could also try to bash her head into a wall, but this would, once again, require him to let go, plus there are no walls in ready availability.


In the collapsed square of Emlocke...

Darren, somewhat disoriented from the crashing and burning of his most recent venue, takes a look around.

He comes to the conclusion that things have exploded around him most verily. Emlocke's pretty much done for, though most of the buildings around the square look to be in reasonably good condition. Including the one the band's hiding in. That's good, he guesses. Speaking of.

He flies back into the band's hideout and relays this troubling state of affairs. They look to be rather freaked out both by the invisible screeching thing and the fact that the town just exploded into bits.

"Man, we sure lucked out there. Seems like this place is screwed."

The other band members agree heartily.

((Harry said it before, you need some sort of "anchor" to possess people. Or to start the ability to do it, as I could still do it when the Jar O' Souls was shattered, but as I had no anchor to go back to, I would just die if my host died.))

[killerhellhound]

push off her and find some charcoal to write a message if she starts talking to me point at where my throut would be
(she already knows Im not human because of the metal arms griping her)
