Onwards!
Explore the department.
LOOT!

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 Life Studies Department...

James, fed chimp friend in tow, decides to begin a massive campaign of looting unlike any seen before!

[Looting roll: 5]

He finds a curious golden scepter! And 27 silver coins to go with it! Also, he finds a book that has various body control spells written inside it! Including several healing spells! Awesome! He proudly shows the spellbook to his chimp!

[Chimp idea roll: 1]

The chimp isn't feeling very well! What did they say about drinking a pint of your own blood? Yeah, about that...

The chimp projectile vomits all over the spellbook!

[Spellbook damage roll: 5]

The spellbook, however, appears to have remained unharmed! A vomit-resistant spellbook! Makes sense for a healer to have, James supposes!

Look for some magical bag to carry stuff in.
Then carry on LOOTING!

Inside the Life Studies Department...

James tries to look for some kind of magical bag! A bag of... holding things, one might say.

[Search roll: 3]

He finds a regular burlap sack! It has a hole in it. Well, better not keep money in it! He puts the spellbook and scepter inside, resuming his looting immediately!

[Looting roll: 3]

Hm, most of what was actually valuable, James has already taken. There's nice antique chairs, of course, but who has the patience to carry those?

[Chimp idea roll: 1]

The chimp is getting really impatient with James' lack of empathy for its suffering! It will make him listen! It topples a nearby candlestick on some unfortunately-placed curtains!

[Fire roll: 1]

The curtains explode in flames, having soaked up several years' worth of medical spirits! The fire immediately spreads throughout the second floor!

[James agility roll: 4+1]
[Chimp agility roll: 5+1]

James expertly avoids contact with any of the absurdly spreading fire! As he is about to proceed, the chimp kicks him down an entire flight of stairs, eager to proceed as fast as possible!

[Chimp escape roll: 5]

The chimp leaps right out of a first floor window and disappears in the darkness!

[Panic roll: 4]

Students and lecturers quickly proceed out of a second floor fire exit in a calm and orderly fashion!

((wait why the hell didn't I think of taking a crossbow :( ))
Exit the building, and see if any of the students were the cardsharps from chapter 1
((they left through the portal so.... Revenge))

Inside the Life Studies Department...

James decides to look for somebody to take sweet, sweet revenge upon! He heads to the fire exit and looks at the students!

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

They might be in there, James isn't totally sure! He jumps out of the window to investigate!

[Fall damage roll: 3+1]

He rolls and bends his knees, landing perfectly! He begins to pursue the mob!


On the run from the guards...

Wait, why is Samuel running away? He has MAGIC, after all! He runs into a dark alley and waits for the officer to come get him!

[Magic roll: 5]

As the officer runs into the alley, Samuel charges up his implement of magical power, his cane of reality-altering potential, and zaps the poor bastard right in the face! The guy gets turned into a cane capable of speech through some unknown magic!

"What have you done, fiend? Why?"

[Samuel BRUTAL INTERROGATION roll: 6]

Samuel merely picks up the conversation-capable cane and threatens to snap it on the cobbles!

"You think I'm afraid of death? Look what you've done to me! You've destroyed me already!"

Samuel bashes the cane against the ground!

[Cane structural integrity roll: 3]

The cane cracks and splinters!

[Reaction roll: 1]

"Why? Why me? What did I do to deserve this? I curse your name, fiend! You shall get nothing from me! You are probably the collaborator of demons, anyway!"

Samuel smashes the cane against the ground a few more times!

[Cane structural integrity roll: 5]

It doesn't seem very damaged, though! It also remains completely silent! Gazing at it, Samuel knows this is intentional!

On the road to Bernie's...

Alaric, utilizing the statue's moment of weakness, launches a telekinetic sneak attack!

[Alaric vs. Marcus: 4 vs. 3]

He slightly pushes the stone creature away, distracting him!

"OH MY. YOU HAVE WEAKENED MY STONE BODY. FOR THAT, YOU MUST DIE PAINFULLY."

[Marcus vs. Beautiful Man: 2 vs. 4]

The statue attempts to tear the beautiful man in half, but his magic has been severely weakened as well! Oh my!

"Ha! How does it feel to operate on our level, motherfucker? Hell yeah!"

[Beautiful Man vs. Marcus: 2 vs. 6]

The beautiful man begins to gesture!

"I'M AFRAID THERE'S BEEN SOME KIND OF MISTAKE."

[Counterattack: Marcus vs. Beautiful Man: 4 vs. 4]

The statue attempts to do something unspeakable once more, but can't seem to overcome the resistance of the beautiful man!

"FILTHY SNEAK-ATTACKING RAT, USING YOUR METAMORPHOSIS TO TRY AND DEFEAT ME."

"Hey, fuck you too, man!"

[Alaric vs. Marcus: 1 vs. 1]

Alaric attempts to perform a telekinetic attack, but only manages to push himself backwards! Marcus turns to him!

[Marcus vs. Alaric: 1 vs. 1]

He also only manages to push himself backward! Oh dear.

"AWFUL LITTLE INSECTS."

[Morale roll: 4]

It appears to consider something.

"NO, I MUSTN'T. IT WOULD SET A PRECEDENT."

[Beautiful Man magic roll: 2]

The cycle of nothing happening has concluded as even the beautiful man can't manage to get any magic done!

[Alaric vs. Marcus: 2 vs. 5]

Alaric tries to break the cycle, but the statue acts first!

[Counterattack: Marcus vs. Alaric: 3 vs. 4]

Alaric manages to keep all his limbs attached!

[Marcus vs. Alaric: 2 vs. 1]

He does, however, get slightly dragged around by the statue's telekinesis!

[Beautiful Man magic roll: 3]

The statue glows for a bit, but then dims again! As the statue turns to inflict violent reprisal on the beautiful man, Alaric tries to somehow move it once more!

[Alaric vs. Marcus: 5 vs. 4]

This time, he manages to make the statue become somewhat unsteady!

[Marcus vs. Beautiful Man: 2 vs. 6]

Unsteady enough to completely fail to dismember the beautiful man!

[Counterattack: Beautiful Man vs. Marcus: 6 vs. 2]

The beautiful man turns one of the statue's arms into an ordinary chicken!

[Beautiful Man vs. Marcus: 1 vs. 3]

He is about to turn some more of him into a chicken, but accidentally turns a tree into a lizard! A pretty harmless lizard, though.

[Marcus morale roll: 1]

"OH, BOLLOCKS TO THIS. THE ONLY THING THAT CAN COME OF THIS BATTLE IS MORE HUMILIATION."

[Marcus magic roll: 1]

He turns out to have been right! He charges up his telekinesis and flies off directly upwards! In a helical motion! It looks rather silly, to be honest!

"Yeah, you better run, chicken-arm motherfucker!"

Alaric sits down, dissatisfied at his lack of significant contribution to the battle. Oh well.


Outside yet another burning building of the University of Magic...

James looks for some preferred victims!

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

There's one! It's unmistakably one of them. That stupid face, those tasteless clothes, that scoundrel-like manner... it can be no other!


Outside the Demonic Studies Department...

Vincent tries to look for a weak point in the building's security layout!

[Search roll: 3]

Hm, one of the windows seems to have bars that are more worn. Perhaps they'd be weak to physical assault?

Sneak up behind, grab by scruff of neck, drag into dark alley, terrify, beavergoat. In that order.
I almost feel sorry for him.
Almost.
