[Greenstarfanatic]

Try to send a psychic signal to Bernie.

[Caerwyn]

Samuel will scurry along, and head to a different, not-pillaged-by-a-mob city.

[Harry Baldman]

Inside a dark, dank cave...

Samuel grabs his cane by the snout and pulls it out of the cave! The cane growls slightly! Samuel looks at it!

[Intelligence roll: 3-1]

Hm, something is off here, but Samuel can't put his finger on it! What could it be? Oh well. He tries to think of someplace to go!

[Local knowledge roll: 4-1]

Hm, there is the city he was just in! The one horribly unsettled by the demonic laughter! That hasn't been pillaged. Yet! He goes right in!

[Encounter roll: 6]

He sees lots of people wrapped in blankets leaving the town!

"I will never sleep again..."

"Accursed place... hope it is burned down..."

"Will never forget... the sound..."

[Caerwyn]

Samuel, since he can't hear (Doesn't really have any ears) can't be bothered by sounds! The city will be jolly! Tally-ho!

[Harry Baldman]

On the outskirts of a formerly nice city...

Samuel fully intends to get jolly in this city! He looks for someplace fun!

[Search roll: 4-1]

He finds a large stone building that's brightly lit up! Ooh, looks like a party of some kind is going on in there! He goes right in, stumbling on the way!

Hm, lots of robed people inside! They look pretty serious! However, they do seem to be swilling wine and having a feast! Every once in a while, they seem to bow their heads and say something!

[Samuel perception roll: 1-1]

They appear to be complimenting the party!

Samuel is unsure of this. The place looks pretty dead. Perhaps some livening up is in order?

[Cane control roll: 5-1]

His cane remains docile, surprisingly enough! Not so tough now, are you, cane?


In the awful, awful between-life...

Jordan attempts to signal Bernie!

[Instant telepathy roll: 3]

Well, he can't send any messages to him, but he can make him feel slightly nauseous! Serves the bastard right!

[Caerwyn]

Samuel will send his cane to party, and summon a few more!

You know, is it really a downside causing world-wide destruction when I fail a spell? Because I sorta like it. Okay, not too much, I actually hate failing spells. Makes me feel inept. Wait, scratch that, I hate failing ANYTHING.

[Harry Baldman]

Perilously near a downer of a party...

Samuel sees the party, and he deems it not wild enough! He has to improve it somehow! He sends his cane to mingle with the party guests! No, wait, he'll multiply his cane, then send it to mingle with the party guests!

Samuel waves his hands, approximately duplicating familiar arcane gestures!

Well, it looks like his cane has multiplied before his very eyes! So have the party guests! The entire room seems to have multiplied three times, actually!

[Cane mingling roll: 3-1]

The cane doesn't appear to like the party guests much, as it remains standoffish and somewhat grumpy!

[Party reaction roll: 1]

The party cheers at the new guest! The cane seems to take this well. A little too well! It gives one of the party guests a hug! And a kiss as well, it seems! The party guests scream with delight!

[Cane mingling roll: 2-1]

Having sufficiently spread the love to one person, who seems to be overcome to the point of paralysis by all the joy going around, the cane goes on to hug and kiss someone else! It's really good at this party business! The next hugged person also seems to be paralyzed with delight! Yeesh, these guys get set off by the tiniest thing!

One fellow drops to his knees and begins to say something!

[Perception roll: 1-1]

He appears to be thanking Samuel for livening up the party! How nice of him! Samuel gives him a hug! He is amazed at how magic can instantly breathe life into even the deadest place!

[Cane mingling roll: 6-1]

Three canes seem to have had enough of hugging people, and they go off to the table to get themselves a snack!

[Cane eating roll: 2]

They eat two full plates of food! Don't seem very eager on eating any more, it seems.

[Party guest reaction roll: 4]

Three of the party guests pick up three chairs and advance towards the three canes!

[Cane reaction roll: 6-1]

The canes examine a few choice pieces of cuisine on the table!

You know, is it really a downside causing world-wide destruction when I fail a spell? Because I sorta like it. Okay, not too much, I actually hate failing spells. Makes me feel inept. Wait, scratch that, I hate failing ANYTHING.

The downside when you fail a spell isn't that you cause horrible destruction in itself, it's that you cause horrible destruction when you don't really want to.

Also, the horrible destruction bit is actually caused by the skull on top.

[Greenstarfanatic]

((Ugh. I give up. There's absolutely no way I can get back as Jordan, is there?))

[Harry Baldman]

((Nope. You be dead.))

[Caerwyn]

Samuel will gracefully practice his magic arts of necromancy on these guys! Wouldn't THEY like to be skeletons too? All their skeletons have to do is rip out of those fleshy meat-suits!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh. That's what the gem-skull-thingy-I-forgot-what-it-is does!

Also: I CAN resurrect Jordan, right? With enough skill?

[Harry Baldman]

In a party that seems to have slightly livened up...

Samuel attempts to practice necromancy on all the people around here!

People don't seem to be jumping out of their skins! There is a lot of blood, though! It must be working!

[Cane mingling roll: 4-1]

The two canes at the table glance at the two people with two chairs advancing on them! They glare suspiciously!

[Party guest morale roll: 4]

The party guests try to drive the canes away from the table!

[Party Guests vs. Canes: 6 vs. 4+1]

The canes are synchronously poked with the chairs by the two guests! They back away slightly!

[Cane mingling roll: 1-1]

The canes proceed to spread some more love and joy!

[Canes vs. Party Guests: 5+1 vs. 4]

The canes give the guests kisses! The guests are quite delighted! They proceed to run back to their compatriots!

[Party Guest morale roll: 1]

The party guests seem to have had enough for the night, as they seem to be eager about vacating the building! They leap out of some nearby windows! Every single one of them! Samuel can hear their cries of joy in the distance!

It feels great to contribute to society!

[Caerwyn]

No! They MUST be turned into skeletons! Do not give up, Samuel! Never give up! Or, if needed, they could become those smelly zombies...

[Greenstarfanatic]

I just realized. All that's left is for Samuel or Vincent to get the scrying amulet. Then the mission is over. And maybe Alaric can resurrect me. Or at least find me and get Bernie to.

[Harry Baldman]

In a party that's deader than most of its two participants...

Samuel attempts to skeletonize or at least zombify some people!

Well, they do look pretty dead. That's a start.

[Cane idea roll: 2]

The four canes decide to wander outside!

[Samuel intelligence roll: 6-1]

Hey, wait a second, canes aren't supposed to have free will! Why are they wandering around? And they do seem awfully large, hairy and irritable, unlike the canes Samuel has seen before! Samuel begins to suspect that he may have retrieved the wrong cane from the cave!

Spoiler: GM Note (click to show/hide)

Samuel actually has the scrying amulet, you know. Doesn't seem like he is about to deliver it any time soon, though!
