What

Why does nobody comment that Sam's a skeleton with canes for legs?

Samuel will try and show the man that there's a demon invasion coming, and that only Sam can warn the king!...He'll show the man through DANCE.

At the top of the Tower of the Mind...

James is about to exit through the portal to reality! Hey, wait a minute!

"Hey, does this portal lead to reality?"

"I dunno. Probably?"

"Good enough for me!"

He steps through the portal! A flash of light blinds him and he closes his eyes! When he opens them, he is in the library once more!

He is suddenly aware that he has gained something from this journey!

[Lesson learned roll: 4]

He is now a better prepared for various temptations and distractions! He has developed a Honed Mental Resistance! Sweet! It almost seems like seeing She-James was worth it for something like that!


Inside the home of an elderly fellow...

Samuel attempts to warn the old-timer of the COMING DEMON INVASION! Through interpretive dance!

[Interpretive dance roll: 6]

Samuel dances like he really means it! He sells the invasion, the demons, the raping and pillaging that's bound to happen when they arrive! At the climax of his performance, his elaborate movements convey that only one person, the old-timer, can save the world now! It is his destiny as a hero!

"That's nice, dear."

The old-timer goes to take his afternoon nap!

Carry on reading where I left off as if nothing had happened.
Also check status of health.

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.

Inside the Library of Magic...

James is about to start reading again, but then a thought strikes him: what's his status?

Legs: there!
Arms: one missing!
Stomach: there!
Chest: hollowed-out with scalpels!
Head: attached!

Well, everything seems A-OK to him! Back to literature!

[Intelligence roll: 1+1]

Ah, screw this. James throws the book away!

Inside the Library...

James is not about to give up on his quest for knowledge! He attempts to force himself to pick up the book and read it!

[Will roll: 1+1]

Nah, you know what? Screw that book. Screw it, and screw this library. He ain't pickin' up a book if he can help it, damn the consequences!

James storms out of the library, triumphant over the insidious enemy known as literature! Not the first one tonight to do so, if the narrator may add.

Outside the Library...

James, struck by inspiration, goes to see the librarian!

[Search roll: 2]

Hm, they're nowhere in sight. Must be hiding. Or preparing for their next heist. That is what librarians do, right?


Some hours previous...

Vincent decides to head west unwaveringly! Bernie's sister commands it!

[Speedy travel roll: 3]

He goes in that direction for about a day before he finds the university! Judging by the multitude of corpses and abundance of destruction on the way, his companions may have already been here! Oh no! What is Vincent going to loot?


Present time, home of Bernie...

Jordan decides that some waking up is in order!

[Wake-up roll: 2]

He is about to pull Bernie's sister out of the bed, but then realizes that it wouldn't be a very gentlemanly thing to do! What a horrid dilemma he has been presented! Either get things done and dishonor himself or wait and nearly die of boredom!


Inside the home of an ancient and oblivious individual...

Samuel decides that looting is in order! All those who refuse help for the wizard deserve confiscation of their hard-earned property, after all!

[Looting roll: 5]

He finds 5 copper coins, a set of false teeth and a bottle of cheap wine! Score!

Explore the area and try to find any intact structures.

On the grounds of the University of Magic...

Vincent tries to look for some structures that do not appear looted!

[Building choice roll: 3]

He finds the Demonic Studies Department! That one doesn't look like anybody has gone in!

[Search roll: 1]

And there's obviously a reason for that: every window and door has been blocked with steel bars! You'd need a dedicated team of workmen to make any progress here!

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

((I wondered about that myself. Why else do you think I asked about the portal))
Look in the library for some form of map of the university.
