Wait until they just stop noticing me and sneak around looting things.

Inside the Artifact Vault...

Vincent opts to wait until people stop paying attention to him!

[People attention roll: 6]

The wizards cluster around him and begin examining him in very intimate detail! Oh dear, this is getting uncomfortable!

"It does have a tail-arm! How bizarre! Wonder how it got it."

"Some things are best left unknown, I think."


In the less-brigand-infested woods...

Samuel resumes his heroic journey!

[Speedy traveling roll: 3]
[Encounter roll: 5]

He walks at a reasonable pace. After about eight more hours of walking, he is outside Bernie's cottage! Hooray!

Under observation by many researchers...

Vincent suddenly shrugs!

[Shrugging roll: 3]

It's sort of a halfhearted shrug at best!

[Researcher reaction roll: 5]

The researchers back away slightly!

"It just moved!"

"Yeah, definitely! Do you think it'll move again?"

"No idea. Go check it out."

"You check it out, you're less important."

"Screw you, you're less important!"

"Wait a minute, let's not argue. Let Bob do it. He's less important than either of us!"

"Screw you both, I'm not going near that thing! Besides, when's the last time you had a breakthrough experiment? Huh? I'm listening!"

"Oh, so that's the way it's going to be, is it?"

They begin a heated argument over who has to touch the skeleton! Vincent, despite feeling a bit objectified, seems to once more have slipped their minds!


Outside Bernie's cottage...

Samuel goes right into the cottage! Oh my. There seems to be an oddly beautiful bleeding man on the ground, Bernie's sister (also on the ground) looks quite hurt and Alaric is floating around somewhat shiftlessly! No Bernie, though. Wonder where he could be.

Samuel will clack around, and stem the man's wounds with a goods cane-ing!

Inside the cottage...

Samuel, hung over and lacking patience to deal with such foolishness, decides to help the bleeding, but beautiful man with a good caning to the shoulder!

[Therapeutic caning roll: 6]

Samuel is about to administer crushing punishment to the guy's shoulder, but he has a better idea! He brings his cane down on the fellow's ankle, breaking it entirely!

[Beautiful man endurance roll: 5]

The beautiful man yells in pain! He becomes slightly more lucid from the sudden jolt of pain!

"Ow, motherfucker! You broke my fucking ankle, you son of a bitch!"

[Beautiful man reaction roll: 6]

His face suddenly becomes frozen in a mask of horror!

"Holy fuck, you're the motherfucking grim reaper himself, aren't you! Holy fuck! I'm going to fucking die now, is that it? Fuck me!"

With that last sentence, he seems to faint! He is still bleeding, it seems.

[Sis endurance roll: 1]

Bernie's sister seems perfectly content to lie where she is! She occasionally groans in pain, but otherwise doesn't really do anything. Maybe she needs help as well?

[Beautiful man endurance roll: 4]

The bleeding on the beautiful man seems to have lessened slightly. Maybe the fact that he seems to have calmed down has something to do with that?

((Samuel saves the day. Hopefully Sis doesn't get a heartattack. On another note, do we actually know her name?))

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.

Uncramp jaw, practice speaking again.

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.

Near a furious argument between artifact researchers...

Vincent gets up and begins to loot gloriously!

[Search roll: 1]

He runs into another researcher strolling down a hall!

[Researcher attention roll: 5+1]

The researcher jumps back from Vincent with great rapidity!

[Researcher reaction roll: 5]

"Dreadfully sorry, sir, but you startled me. No need to get any more excited, I suppose. On your way."

He walks off! What a nice chap. Vincent continues searching!

[Search roll: 3]

He finds a filing room in the Catalog wing! He goes right in!

Not a lot of stuff worth looting, it seems, but there is a catalog of all the stuff he could steal from the vault!


Inside the Magical Weaponry and Armor Department...

James goes for another attempt at speaking! But first, he has to uncramp his jaw!

[Physical therapy roll: 3]

He massages his jaw with one of his snail heads and tries to make it better! However, it doesn't really help a lot. Maybe he's doing something wrong? He attempts to speak anyway.

[Practice roll: 2-1]

Oh gods, that was a bad idea. Such a bad idea. Now it hurts a lot more than before!
