[Harry Baldman]

Inside Bernie's tomb...

Samuel knows that he needs to provide a lot of exposition right now. His head hurts, his hands are shaking and he feels nauseous, yet completely unable to vomit! But he must communicate! He must dance!

[Interpretive dance roll: 4-1]

He dances as well as he can, which is to say not very well at all, but he thinks he gets the point across!

"You got drunk and now had a hangover. Well, it happens, you know. Don't tell me you haven't had a hangover before! Wait, how did you get drunk, anyway? You've got no digestive system, for gods' sakes!"

Samuel makes magical gestures!

"Your hangover's magical? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!"

Samuel feels offended, quite frankly! He points out that Bernie's sister is quite badly hurt at the moment and could have been in mortal peril if it wasn't for his help!

"Wait, Sis is hurt? Crap!"

He runs back to the cottage, not waiting for any further elaboration!

[Firelordsky]

Grab the hammer and see what happens.

[Harry Baldman]

Inside Experimental Area the Ninth...

Vincent, not having had enough of dimensional travel, picks up the hammer once more!

[Hammer roll: 4]

He blinks into a realm of pure, ancient light for a few seconds! It causes a rather nasty burning sensation!

[Vincent will roll: 3]

Vincent lets go of the hammer after a short while and is once more returned to the area! Oh my, it still stings quite a bit!

[TopHat]

Terrify the bowman, beaversnailgoat them.
((I've pretty much given up on diplomacy))

[Caerwyn]

Sam will follow him! And, uh, pray to the god of Luck to bless him.

Being hungover doesn't stop prayer!

Right?

...Uuugh///

[Firelordsky]

Wait a little while and then grab the hammer again.

[Harry Baldman]

Inside the Magical Weaponry and Armor Department...

James tries to look as menacing as possible!

[Intimidation roll: 1]

He only manages to look ridiculous, really!

[Bowman reaction roll: 6]

The bowman begins to laugh with him! Wait, no. At him. Definitely at him. It makes James feel dreadfully insecure! Time for easy self-affirming violence!

[James vs. Bowman: 5 vs. 4]

He latches onto the bowman after giving himself a boost with his two legs and flying through the air! Beaversnailgoating time!

[Beaversnailgoating roll: 2]

He fumbles and messes up the order of actions, completely ruining the effect! The bowman shakes him off and retreats!

"Gah! Get off me, you dirty monster!"

[Bowman vs. James: 2+1 vs. 2-1]

He manages to shoot James right below the shell-line, which hurts like a right bastard, to tell the truth!


Inside Bernie's tomb...

Samuel follows Bernie out of the tomb and back to the cottage! Once there, he sees Bernie at his sister's side!

"What happened to you, sis?"

"Oh, I tripped on the carpet and broke my leg in two places, it seems. The skeletal fellow fixed my leg quite nicely, I must say."

"You broke it in two places? How?"

"Well, it wasn't so much the fall that did it. Really, I got up too fast and then it broke. And broke again. And then I accidentally twisted it around."

"Sounds suspicious. You wouldn't be lying to me, would you?"

"I wish I was, since that would make me far less of an idiot."

"Ah, don't be so hard on yourself. Could happen to anyone!"

"Of course it could."

"Yeah, not a very good excuse, that. So, you fell down, then broke your leg like an idiot. Anything I can help with?"

"Not really. I've already got the leg set and put in a splint."

"Okay, I'll be going back to the tomb, then. Send this moron if you need help," he says, pointing at Samuel.

[Bernie attention roll: 1]

He goes back to the tomb without even noticing the passed out and bleeding man on the floor!

While they're engaged in dialogue, Samuel tries to think of a god of luck to pray to!

[Intelligence roll: 2]

There is no actual god of luck he can think of in the Five. Weird, but true.


Inside Experimental Area the Ninth...

After waiting a while, Vincent comes to the conclusion that third time's the charm! He grabs the hammer again!

[Hammer roll: 1]

He finds himself in an alien landscape. Nothing around him seems to make a whole lot of sense. Oh well, this place seems to be a dud. Better let go of the hammer.

He doesn't have the hammer anymore. Oh crap.

[Firelordsky]

Take the tin sword out of my backpack.

[Caerwyn]

Samuel will follow Bernie, and relay the previous offer! Amulet for knowledge of the Necromatic Arts, and for this bloody hangover to be permanently dispelled!

[TopHat]

Terrify then beaversnailgoat

[Harry Baldman]

Inside the cottage...

Samuel follows the oblivious Bernie and attempts to hawk his scrying amulet to the necromancer!

[Nonverbal communication roll: 1-1]

He follows Bernie, but the guy doesn't seem to be keen on stopping! Very well, then.

Samuel tackles Bernie on the mausoleum stairs! Both go tumbling down the stairs!

[Samuel agility roll: 2]
[Bernie agility roll: 6]

Bernie manages to avoid any direct harm by tumbling like a deranged, magically enhanced acrobat! He expertly uses Samuel to break his fall at the end of the stairs!

[Samuel endurance roll: 3]

Samuel's ribcage is totally crushed from the impact! Well, that's pretty awkward. Bernie stands over him, hatred in his eyes!

[Bernie rage roll: 5+1]

Bernie unleashes necromantic magic on him!

[Bernie magic roll: 2+1]

Samuel feels his spirit twist and deform painfully for a few seconds, but that's really it, to tell the truth!

"Just as well, I suppose. Saves me the effort it takes to bind another hopeless minion."

He walks off, seething with hatred! Well, doesn't look like any dialogue will be formed with him in the near future!


In an alien dimension...

Vincent takes the tin sword out of his backpack! He poses heroically with it for a second!

Yes, now he will be safe! If only he knew what the damn thing does!


In the Magical Weaponry and Armor Department...

James tries some more intimidation!

[Intimidation roll: 4]

He snarls and rasps at the fellow threateningly!

[Bowman intelligence roll: ?]

The man is confused by this! He didn't know snails could snarl! Or make sounds of any kind!

[James vs. Bowman: 5 vs. 1]

James leaps at the man's face and rasps it up into a fine paste! The man screams horribly and bleeds everywhere!

[Bowman endurance roll: 4]

He attempts to kick James away!

[Bowman vs. James: 1-1 vs. 1-1]

He misses James! James is confused!

[Beavergoating roll: 5]

However, now that the man is sufficiently harmed and terrified, James begins his dark routine!

It works very well! The man is soon left hairless, white, bloodless and covered in slime! James is starting to really feel confident in his abilities!

[Caerwyn]

Sam will cringe, and head back to the sister. Ask her if she knows anything about Magic.

[Harry Baldman]

At the bottom of the tomb's stairs...

Samuel goes up the stairs, lamenting his now-crushed ribcage! He gets back to Bernie's sister and attempts to ask her if she knows anything about magic!

[Nonverbal communication roll: 6-1]

"Magic? Why are you asking me about magic? I'm more of an anatomy specialist, really. Can't help you a whole lot with magic. I do have some knowledge on how to use magical artifacts, though that's mostly from experience."

[TopHat]

Loot corpse and practice beaversnailgoating.

[Caerwyn]

Samuel will ask her if she can help...Liberate him from his magically-induced hangover. Offer her the scrying amulet as a reward.
