Outside the Metamorphosis Department...

Satisfied at his dog-leg's performance, Jordan thinks it would be great to give it a reward of some kind! He looks for some food!

[Search roll: 1]

To put it plainly, there isn't any! Not about to give up, Jordan gives it a bite of his flesh-pretzel arm!

[Dog reaction roll: 4]

The dog takes a few bites out of it and doesn't even vomit profusely! Success!

[Dog training roll: 5]

It seems to have learned that helping its master walk is something it'll have to do if it is to have any chance of getting more of that delicious pretzel!


In a ditch somewhere...

Leon chooses a random direction to walk in!

[Choice roll: ?]

He proceeds at a leisurely, relaxed pace! After all, what person in his predicament wouldn't? He looks for any sign of where he is!

[Perception roll: 5]

Hm, there appear to be lots of corpses around here! Most of them have died from arrow or stab wounds it seems. Also, Leon spies some smoke in the sky! It appears to be coming from several fires at a moderate distance! As to where he is in relation to the university... well, he didn't fly too far. About three miles or so, he supposes.

Do whatever it says the rope might work for. Head off to look for the files room.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

Outside the Metamorphosis Department...

Jordan hobbles away on his dog-and-club legs and tries to find the Library!

[Search roll: 1]

After wandering all around campus, he has finally found the Library! Oh wait. It's the Metamorphosis Department. Damn it all!


Within the Department of Magical Zoology...

James graciously accepts the offer of handkerchief-rope from the chimp! He tries to scale it!

[Structural integrity roll: 2]

He pulls on the rope and it disintegrates! Guess it wasn't calibrated for his weight!

[Chimp idea roll: 5]
[Search roll: 5]

The chimp quickly runs away and returns with a chain that obviously has come from the shackles of some large animal! Having failed at his first attempt, James tries to scale it once more!

[James strength roll: 2]

He pulls on the chain, but can't muster the strength to get up from the bale of hay!

[Chimp morale roll: 6]

The chimp glares with the force of a thousand angry physical educators! James is stricken with fear and begins climbing again!

[James strength roll: 3]

He weakly scales about three feet of the chain!

[James strength roll: 4]

He climbs steadily upwards!

[James strength roll: 5]

He gets out of the basement and high-fives his helpful chimp companion! Who scooped out his chest cavity! Oh well, all is forgiven! Now to find a file room!

[Search roll: 3]

He finds a file room! It's empty!

Search the corpses for anything interesting then begin heading for the fires.

Somewhere not too far from the university...

Leon searches the corpses for anything interesting!

[Search roll: 2]

He comes to the conclusion that the corpses are peasants! And thoroughly looted, to boot!

[Intelligence roll: 4]

Well, it couldn't have been any of his companions. They're all somewhere else. Well, maybe not. Difficult to say. It was probably someone else, though. But enough messing around! Time to investigate for real! Leon heads for the fires!

[Awareness roll: 3]

He hears a bit of stirring as he nears the fires! It appears to be a small camp of people! Oh my, they're carrying large swords! And seem slightly alarmed about something!


Outside the Metamorphosis Department...

"Blast! How is a proper gentleman supposed to make his way in this infernal place? Whose bloody head do I need to chop off before they begin improving this layout?"

Jordan decides that he'll keep on searching!

[Search roll: 6]

He finds the Library in ten seconds! It was right next to the Metamorphosis Department all this time! Well, this is embarrassing.

After an awkward silence that lasts a minute, he begins looking for a way in!

[Search roll: 3]

It's barricaded nicely! There is an open window on the second floor, but good luck reaching that with a pretzel for an arm!

Outside the Library...

Jordan is flabbergasted at the impediment in front of him! A barricade! Such a novel idea! Perhaps there is some merit to it, for he surely cannot proceed! If only he had some kind of thing that could chop wood or something!

Wait a minute, what about his people axe? That could chop wood, Jordan thinks! Well, no way to find out except try!

[Anti-barricade roll: 4+1]

By alternately chopping with his metal arm and and bashing with his pretzel arm, the dog-leg providing moral support as he does so, Jordan hacks through the door and the barrier behind it with surprising ease! Amazing!

He goes right in, the dog-leg barking enthusiastically!


Inside the Magical Zoology Department...

James has no time to lose! He must get to cramming! Those files must be found!

[Search roll: 2]

Dammit, they're not here! How is James supposed to have an advantage against his enemy if the zoologist fools can't even keep an orderly catalog properly!

[Chimp idea roll: 2]

The chimp knows what this room needs! Ape feces! It gladly provides some!

Tell the zoologists that I'll leave them alone if they let me read the files.

In the near vicinity of Bad Trouble Central...

Alaric, dissatisfied at the results of his persuasion, decides to attempt to make the statue punch itself out of spite!

[Magic duel: Alaric vs. Marcus: 2 vs. 5+1]

He strains to nudge the statue's arm a tiny bit.

"THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DO IT. LET ME SHOW YOU."

[Magic counterattack: Marcus vs. Alaric: 1+1 vs. 1]

The statue makes Alaric slap himself! Ow, that stings!

"NOW. DOWN TO BUSINESS."

[Magic duel: Marcus vs. Alaric: 1+1 vs. 1]

He makes Alaric slap himself again!

"COULDN'T HELP MYSELF. YOU LOOK AMUSING WHEN I DO THAT, ALL INDIGNANT AND ANNOYED."


Inside the Magical Zoology Department...

James is starting to feel that his unlife has devolved into a cycle of negotiate-fight-loot-repeat! Doubtlessly he is not the only one who thinks so in the world! Oh well, back to negotiation!

[Search roll: 3]

He finds no zoologists! Damn rat bastards. Some of them probably literal ones.


Near a fire...

Leon chooses to take advantage of what would be a photo opportunity if cameras had been invented! The Strange Human in its natural habitat, how unique!

[Inconspicuousness roll: 1-1]

Leon does his very best to stay hidden! The people in the camp notice and applaud! Then they attack!

[Man 1 vs. Leon: 5+1 vs. 1]
[Man 2 vs. Leon: 5+1 vs. 6]
[Woman 1 vs. Leon: 3+1 vs. 2]

Leon avoids an axe swung by one man and gets slightly scratched with an arrow! However, the final attacker knocks him straight down, leaving a great axe-cut in his chest plate!
