In the slightly ruined tower of the Artiste...
Mark attempts to inform the Artiste that he seems to be rapidly expiring!
[Nonverbal communication roll: 5]
Through several effective gestures, he informs the Artiste in no uncertain terms that he is rapidly expiring and would appreciate any help he could offer, if it's not too much of an imposition. He seems to have been physically bound lately, so could he take a look at that as well?
"My, my. Dying, are we? And you seem to have gotten yourself bound to some schmuck as well. How unfortunate. Well, let me take care of that."
The Artiste snaps his fingers, and Mark feels like fifty tons of weight have dropped off his soul! The body of the necromancer seems to no longer have any relevance to him!
"Feeling better?"
Mark can't help but nod.
"The fellow you were bound to must have died. It happens, you know. You were pretty lucky to get here."
"And even luckier that this guy's a demon or something."
"Yes, indeed. Now get yourself together and follow me."
The Artiste turns around and heads back into the room he came out of.
In a crumbling house...
Darren, seeing no better alternative, tries to telekinetically move the band to safety!
[Telekinesis roll: 2]
Hey, it turns out it's a bit more difficult to move six people at once than one might think! Darren strains to move the people, but fails terribly!
[House stability roll: 4]
Fortunately, the house isn't crumbling very quickly, so the band isn't in quite as much danger as one would think! They still look quite shaken and confused!
[? vs. Band Member 2: 2+1 vs. 2]
One of the band members is grazed in the shoulder by a rapidly moving wooden object that hits the back wall and shatters into splinters!
[? magic roll: 6+1]
Suddenly, there is a massive boom that overrides all sound in the area - the panicked cries of the band, the crumbling of the house, the obtrusive whispers from the pit are all drowned out by the sudden explosion coming from the direction of the two assailants!
[Band Leader endurance roll: 5-1]
[Band Member endurance rolls: 1-1, 4-1, 4-1]
[Mel endurance roll: 5-1]
[Darren endurance roll: 6-1]
Darren looks on in horror as the wave of sound washes over the band, hitting three of the members standing closer to the edge head-on. This is not a good thing, as one of them just plain explodes all over the rest of the band, coating the entire room in gore. Two others simply fall to the ground, though whether this is because of the shock of seeing the man die or whether because they are dazed themselves remains to be ascertained. Mel and the leader seem far less affected, mostly due to standing in the back of the room, though they do clutch at their heads in pain nonetheless.
[House stability roll: 5]
The house shakes, but very little changes in its state as a result of the bark. It seems that most of the really precarious bits have fallen into the pit already.
