[Harry Baldman]

Inside a horrible tomb of horror...

Jordan, as much a fan of a roaring game of backgammon as the next chap, asks the most crucial question!

"I say, do you have a backgammon board? We can't play if you don't have a backgammon board, good chap!"

[Distraction roll: 2]

"Why, ye-es, yes I do-o! He-ere it-"

[Jordan vs. Darkness: 1+2 vs. 5+3-1-1]

Jordan hacks once more, but the impossibility of seeing a single dang thing plays against him majorly!

[Reaction roll: 4]

"So-o, do yo-ou fancy a ga-ame? It's been so-o lo-ong since I la-ast pla-ayed!"

[Caerwyn]

Samuel will try and hunt down a local Magi's store.

[Harry Baldman]

Outside the Royal Palace...

Feeling up to some tourism before doing what he's supposed to, Samuel goes to find a mage store of some kind!

[Search roll: 5]

He does find a curious junk store not very far from the palace! He goes in!

By the gods, it sure is dusty, musty and moldy in here. Various wood and metal implements line the walls, and the store itself is attended by an individual somehow even more ancient than the one Samuel has already encountered!

"Yes? You want something?"

[Greenstarfanatic]

Try a few more hacks, before running away like a pussy.

[Harry Baldman]

Inside a tomb of primordial darkness...

Jordan thinks that it might not be the best idea to play backgammon with an unearthly abomination after all!

"I say, what about the dice? Do you have any dice?"

[Distraction roll: 4]

"O-oh dear... how si-illy of me-e! I do-o not see-eem to have a-any!"

Jordan hears a sound of turning! Time for a zombie sneak attack!

[Jordan vs. Darkness: 4+2 vs. 2+3-1-1]

He swings and connects! How odd! A bit of inky blackness spills on a nearby wall! It looks quite awful, actually!

[Reaction roll: 6]

"O-oh, silly co-orpse eaters! The-ey someti-imes try-y to bite me-ee. Yo-ou would have tho-ought they wo-ould le-earn after a-all this ti-ime... here a-are the di-ice..."

"But what about the checkers, my good man? Can't have a game without checkers!"

[Distraction roll: 5]

"The-the dra-aughts, ye-es... so-ometimes... sometimes ee-even I wo-onder what I am thi-inking..."

[Jordan vs. Darkness: 4+2 vs. 1+2-1-1]

Oh my! A sizable chunk of the darkness gets splattered on a wall nearby!

[Darkness endurance roll: 2]

The darkness has weakened considerably as a result!

[Reaction roll: 6]

"O-oh my-y... I see-eem to be fee-eeling under... under the wea-eather... he-ere are the dra-aughts..."

"But a doubling cube? Do we not need a doubling cube, my friend? It would speed up the game considerably!"

[Distraction roll: 1]

"A do-oubling cu-ube? She-eer madness, my frie-end... I shall he-ear no more of i-it..."

[Jordan vs. Darkness: 6+2 vs. 5-1]

Jordan makes a final mighty, desperate swing against the backgammon enthusiast! It connects and cuts a deep gash across what's left of the thing!

[Backgammon enthusiast endurance roll: 3-1]

"O-oh de-ear... loo-ooks like we wo-on't be pla-aying tha-at game... after all..."

The backgammon enthusiast fades away in the darkness, leaving behind an odd inky residue on the ground along with a backgammon board complete with checkers and dice! Victory, Jordan supposes?

[Caerwyn]

Samuel will try and express that he's looking for something, anything, that can either let him communicate telepathically/render his thoughts into words/improve his literary and...Uh, conversation-dance-skills. Oh, and maybe someone who can teach him more "General" magic.

[Harry Baldman]

Inside an odd store...

Samuel attempts to inform the fellow of his need for telepathic communication!

[Nonverbal communication roll: 2]

He gestures helplessly for a while, unable to explain this concept! He reaches for his stolen notepad!

[Literary eloquence roll: 3]

I need a think-stick that makes my think-words go into people's think-pans since I have no yap and can't turn think-words into yap-words!

The man reads the note!

[Man intelligence roll: 2]

He stares at Samuel blankly!

"What?"

Samuel takes the note back and writes an addendum!

I also can't turn think-words into pen-words very goodly.

[Man intelligence roll: 3]

"Pen-words... you want to have... better penmanship?"

Samuel shrugs! Guess he'll have to settle for that! He nods!

The man nods as well and produces a quill!

"With this pen, you'll write like one of the gods themselves. Satisfaction guaranteed. Want it?"

[Caerwyn]

Sam will test it out. If it works, ALL THE MONEY TO THE MAN. If it doesn't, teleport a squirrel inside his lungs.

[Harry Baldman]

Inside a magical junk store...

Samuel reaches for the pen! The man draws it back!

"What are you doing?"

[Nonverbal communication roll: 1]

Samuel takes this for a challenge! He brandishes his magic cane and begins to do magic! Squirrel lung teleportation go!

[Magic roll: 3-2]

The man's lungs become perfectly healthy, any traces of years of smoking gone from it!

[Reaction roll: 3]

"Uh, thank you?"

[Caerwyn]

Samuel will sheepishly nod, then hand over a...Handful of coins for the pen.

SQUIIIIRREEEEELS.

[TopHat]

Head for and loot a different building.
See if there's an armoury on the map.

[Harry Baldman]

Inside a store of various items...

Samuel, defeated by an unknowing adversary, gives the man some money!

[Stinginess roll: 1]

He gives him all of his copper coins!

"Thank you VERY much!"

He hands Samuel the pen! Samuel grabs it and goes outside! Hm, maybe he should test this. He writes a simple message on a sheet of paper!

[Power roll: 1]

Even though he attempts to write normally, the pen seems to begin to move of its own accord at the end!

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog for I, the LORD, have commanded it! Bow to me or you shall feel the seventeen plagues that I bring on your own wretched hide, foul sinner!

It looks pretty crazy, to be perfectly honest. Awesome, but crazy.


Outside the Luck Manipulation Department...

James, not feeling very optimistic about getting into the Luck Manipulation Department, goes to find someplace else that would be fun to loot!

[Building choice roll: 6]

There seems to be a Maggicall Wepponreigh and Arrmore Deppartemennte around here someplace! Great!

[Search roll: 3+1]

James doesn't have a whole lot of trouble finding it, it being right next to the Magical Zoology Department! That's awful nice of them, James thinks!

[Security measures roll: 2]

This building, however, is just as tightly barricaded as the Luck Manipulation Department. Perhaps because there's lots of awesome stuff inside!

[TopHat]

Look for a weak point in the barricade and think of a way to exploit it.

[Greenstarfanatic]

Try once more to loot the area, before trying to get Bernie over to investigate it.

[Caerwyn]

Sam's going to turn the pen into a pen-cane.
