On a log outside the city...

Samuel rolls off the log he's on and tries to get up!

[Agility roll: 4+1-1]

He does so, though he is a mite unsteady! With that done, he attempts to figure out how to use his drunkenness to cast magic effectively!

[Intelligence roll: ?-1]

He has no idea how this would be done, though! Maybe he'll just try it and see what works!

[Practice roll: 4-1]

He waves his magic cane around a bit, but can't seem to get any progress! He'd need an epiphany or something to make progress here, it seems. Luckily, he's drunk!

[Epiphany roll: 6]

He has an amazing idea! He'll... uh... the tree! And, well, something! But it's a great idea, just wait and see!

[Magic roll: 6-1]

He summons up a cane made of booze! Heh heh. That'll help!


In the aether of souls...

Jordan tries to use his mind to break his chain!

[Jordan mind roll: 2]

Uh... well... huh. He doesn't actually appear to have a mind. It's a pretty odd feeling. Very... instinctual.

Bruce notices Jordan and waves.
Copy that, I will have a happily ever after!

In the woods...

Samuel keeps practicing his alcoholic magic!

[Practice roll: 1-1]

He waves his cane with such force that it flies out of his skeletal hands!

[Cane flight roll: 1]

The cane lands in a cave of some kind! There is a loud bump! Noises come from the cave!

[Intelligence roll: ?-1]

Ah, it's just a bird of some kind. Totally harmless. Samuel proceeds right into the cave and searches for his cane in the darkness!

[Search roll: 2-1]

He finds it! Yes! It's just as large and hairy as he remembers it!

[? vs. Samuel: 1+1 vs. 4+1]

It attempts to bite him! Now, now, gentle cane! Old uncle Samuel has just the thing to calm you!

[Counterattack: Samuel vs. ?: 1 vs. 6+1]

His cane sits on him and roars! That's odd! Samuel never thought magic worked like that!


In the path to the afterlife...

Four amorphous bits of soul, Bruce, Jordan, Leon and Philip, are all currently anchored in approximately the same place! What luck! Bruce attempts to wave to the guy who chopped his arm off, but can't, really. He doesn't have hands. Or eyes. Or a body at all, actually. The same applies to the rest, not that Bruce would know.

Chained between worlds, the four undead creatures remain on a blind, deaf and mute vigil, forever waiting for something to release them.

After a while it begins to dawn on them that soulbinding might be a tad inhumane for the bound people. Well, nothing they can do about it, it seems.

Samuel will out-cane this fuzzy cane, and bring it under dominance!

Note to self: 1) Acquire sanity (Virgin hearts?).

((And now every turn is going to be flooded with the already-re-dead characters making actions.
Speaking of re-death, when do waitlisters get introduced? At the end of a chapter, I suppose? Also: That Demon Lord of Lies was a cool dude. :P))

Within the lair of his cane...

Samuel tries to out-cane his cane! Can't have his own cane out-cane the master of caning!

[Battle of wills roll: 4 vs. 1]

Samuel gives his cane a long, hard stare! It gets off him and stands in a corner of the lair! There's a good cane! Now, don't ever do that again, cane! You cannot out-cane the cane master!

[Intelligence roll: 1-1]

Okay, the cane has learned its lesson! Time to get it out of this filthy place!

[Battle of wills roll: 5 vs. 3]

The cane reluctantly follows Samuel out of the cave after receiving yet another stern glare!


On the road to Bernie's...

It took a long time, but Alaric has finally reached Bernie's house! Now to find his sister!

"This is the temple you've been talking about? Looks like a fucking dump is what I say."

[Bluff roll: 4]

"Ah, but looks can be deceiving! Trust me when I say that you will receive your just reward in due time!"

"Alright, but it better be fucking worth it. That was a long fucking walk, you know!"


Inside the Artifact Vault's halls...

Vincent chooses another room to go into!

[Security measures roll: 2]

Yep, this one's locked too. Time for that old skeletal ingenuity!

[Lockpicking roll: 4]

After a short while Vincent has successfully gotten the luck open! He's getting better at this thievery thing! He goes in!

The room has pretty much the same layout as the other room (chest, bed, bookcase, mirror, bedside stand, wardrobe), but it doesn't have a cool carpet! These quarters must belong to a less important researcher, obviously!


Between afterlives...

Bruce attempts to project a mental image of himself singing to the rest of the dead people around him!

[Instant telepathy roll: 2]

Apparently, though, the afterlife doesn't work that way! Who'd have thunk it? Damn it, now he won't be able to drive everyone insane through droning song!

Jordan is still trying to break the chain! Too bad that's pretty much impossible from here. If only someone could get rid of that binding!
