Inside the home of the Artiste...
Mark, unwilling to disturb the mysterious tunneling creatures living around him, elects to punch the glass. A lot.
[Mark vs. Glass: 5 vs. 3]
Mark, winding up his fungus-covered metal fist, punches the glass ceiling of his prison most fiercely! It's definitely cracked rather badly by the impact, but it's not quite broken yet.
[Mark vs. Glass: 5 vs. 3-1]
The cracks deepen noticeably with the second punch, spreading along the entire ceiling of the room.
[Mark vs. Glass: 3 vs. 2-2]
The glass is punched one last time by Mark, and some large pieces of it fall out! Mark gets to climbing.
[Climbing roll: 1+1]
He grabs onto a bit of glass, but it breaks off immediately, making Mark land on his fungus-infested pelvis.
Meanwhile, on the third floor, Scott wisely decides to pester one of the other fiendish muppets rather than the one that can make him commit suicide with a word. His best candidate is probably the lady who turned Gary into a bedsheet, as sad as that sounds in Scott's head. He crawls over to her quarters.
Fortunately, she is currently up, unlike the boss. Scott pulls his shattered carcass over to her and pulls on her robe.
"Help me, help me, HELP ME! HELP ME NOW!"
She glances over at Scott.
"Damn, ya sure don't waste any time, do ya? Broken to bits within a day. Still, I'll help ya, sure."
[Erin magic roll: 5]
The woman points a finger at Scott, closes her eyes and begins to chant. Scott feels his spine realign itself, absorbing the steel bar into his body, the metal joining with his spinal column and dispersing evenly throughout his skeleton! It doesn't seem like enough to provide much of a tangible benefit, but it certainly seems to allow him to walk again! Also, there is now an odd feeling of freshness he hasn't felt in quite a long time.
"There! All done. Stay away from trouble now, ya hear?"
At the shrieking ship of Shriekpot...
Morton claps his hands in joy and wonderment. A free ride, oh yeah!
"Wonderful! I'll report to my master at once, and we'll be back soon to give this ship a good once over to your specifications! Thank you again, esteemed captain, I shall return swiftly, yes, I shall!"
And he does, Kevin following closely behind, not devoting a single thought to his gravely injured master who has presumably found a comfortable gutter to gruesomely expire in by this point. The two undead quickly return to the home of the Artiste, ascending the gangplank to the interior.
Ah, feels good to achieve at last!
In a formerly horse-infested clearing...
Niklas and Sigmund both stand over the corpse of the recently murdered horse.
"I see that you have everything under control here. I have to say that what you did was impressive. So, what now, do we take this to the kitchen so that you can cook it?"
"All right. Let's bring this baby back."
And they do! Utilizing the hideous undead strength both of them possess at the moment, they easily haul the horse back to the Artiste's house, depositing it in the kitchen. All in a day's work for the consummate cook.
