Inside the Citadel of James...

James thinks that the best idea right now would be to mock himself, except on fire!

[Will roll: 2]

He decides to abstain, however, as that fire Inky has looks pretty hot. And not in a good way.

"Go on up. You have to face all seven of us before you leave."

Well. That's not good. Seven, eh?

[Inky patience roll: 6-1]

Inky doesn't seem to feel like coming down just yet. Okay, then. Stupid figment of James' imagination.


Inside the lair of the Personification of Greed...

Samuel considers the offer for a split second and agrees! After all, you can't go wrong with MORE POWER. He nods to the creature!

"EXCELLENT! SO IT SHALL BE!"

A screaming echo sounds throughout the tomb! Samuel gets the feeling he might regret this later.

"I LOVE IT WHEN A DEAL WORKS OUT IN MY FAVOR. SPEAKING OF FAVORS, YOU WILL NEED TO DO ME ONE BEFORE I GIVE YOU ANY OF MY POWER."


Samuel looks questioningly!

"I WILL GIVE YOU AN AMULET. I NEED YOU TO PUT IT ON THE KING'S NECK. SIMPLE, ISN'T IT?"

Samuel checks the pockets of his robe. Wow, the amulet's there already!

[Exposition roll: 3]

"MAKE SURE NOT TO PUT IT ON ANYBODY ELSE'S NECK. IF YOU DO, OUR DEAL WILL BE VOID. THE POWER BIT, THAT IS. YOUR SOUL WILL STILL BE MINE."

Right next to what may be a demon of unspeakable power...

Samuel decides to hunt down the king!

[Knowledge roll: 2]

Wait, who is the king? Where is he? What does he look like? Does he have a lot of bodyguards? These are all questions Samuel has no idea how to answer!

[Creature reaction roll: 6]

"OH, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THE KING IS, RIGHT? HOW SILLY OF ME. I'LL TRANSPORT YOU TO A NEARBY LOCATION!"

[Creature magic roll: 5+3]

Samuel is about to attempt to gesture when he is pulled into the hellmouth by hands of great magical power!

[Will roll: 4]

Samuel is smart enough to keep his eyes shut and occupy his mind with repetitive phrases while screaming through the hell-dimension! Eventually he reaches another hellmouth and emerges!

Oh my. There sure appear to be a lot of cultists around him! The hellmouth around him seems fairly fresh, too.

The hellmouth quickly closes. Crap. Guess he'll have to walk back.

"Look, brothers! An undead demonic servitor!"

Inside a dank basement full of cultists...

Samuel tries to pray to his new master!

He kneels and attempts to begin demonically chanting, but then remembers that he can't speak! And doesn't know the demon's name. Bugger. Time for murder!

[Magic roll: 4]

He summons up 3 canes! They proceed to attack the six cultists!

[Canes vs. Cultists: 6+3 vs. 6-1-1]

"Wait, we-"

Whatever he was going to say doesn't matter, as he is reduced to a bloody pulp by the three canes within ten seconds! They move on to the next one, dispatching him similarly!

[Cultist morale roll: 3]

The remainder of the cultists choose to run outside!

[Cultist intelligence roll: 6]

They quickly decide that barricading the basement is a sound plan!

[Barricading roll: 5]

Samuel can hardly react before a large rock is rolled in front of the basement door! Guess they planned for something like this! Damn them!


Inside the darkest recesses of James' mind...

James hasn't gotten as far as he has in life by listening to the voices in his head! Why start now?

[Inky patience roll: 2-1]
[Inky hatred roll: 2+2]

A spear of flame appears and pokes James in the direction of the stairwell!

[Will roll: 4]

James steadfastly refuses to go where it's poking him! No! No more of this!

On the third floor of the Citadel of the Mind...

James is absolutely set in his desire to disobey! It's his only way of exerting control!

[Inky hatred roll: 3+2]

A flaming whip appears and lashes him like some kind of pack animal!

[Will roll: 5]

Ha! It will take more than that to get James moving! He's been mutilated by various things pretty much all the time ever since he became a vampire!

[Inky hatred roll: 4+2]

He bursts into flames! OH GODS OH GODS OH GODS!

[Stop, drop and roll: 5]

James quickly extinguishes himself! Ha! He wins again!


On the road to Bernie's...

After a long trip, Jordan finally arrives in Richardsburgh! Yep, it's still just as he remembers: burnt and devastated! Well, moving along!

[Jordan speedy travel roll: 2-1]

Jordan, satisfied at his progress, stops for a bit to catch his breath! Then he remembers that he doesn't actually need to breathe! Funny, that.

In the ruins of Richardsburgh...

Jordan decides to end his gentlemanly break and head for Bernie's place!

In about an hour of walking, he's there! He tries to find Bernie's sister!

[Search roll: 1]

He finds Bernie in his bed, sleeping peacefully!

"I say, good chap, do you know where your absolutely charming sister might be?"

[Bernie benevolence roll: 4-2]

"Piss off, will you? I'm trying to sleep here."

"Alright then, I'll find her on my own!"

"You do that. Now piss off already."

"I will! It is my duty as a gentleman!"

[Search roll: 6]

He finds Bernie's sister in her bed! It just so happens to be right above Bernie's!

"I say, miss, wake up, will you?"

[Sister sleep roll: 3+1]

The sister still sleeps soundly, stirring slightly at the sound of Jordan's voice, but remaining unconscious!

Samuel will morph the wall into a sentient, grabbing thing. Give it crushing arms or something, and hope those ugly cultists get mashed!

CANES. I feel like some kind of jolly old skeleton claus.
