Inside the cottage of Bernie's sister...

Samuel tries to ask Bernie's sister to help him get rid of his magical hangover!

[Nonverbal communication roll: 5-1]

"So you inflicted a magical hangover upon yourself, huh? Have you tried using a magical purgative?"

Samuel looks at her questioningly!

"It's like a normal purgative, but works with magical energy instead. Should remove your curse. At least I think it should, I'm not very well-read on that whole magic nonsense. Bernie only lets me read his alchemy books. He seems to be awfully protective of his magic books. It's a guy thing, I think. Or a mage thing. Or both."

She looks at the ceiling thoughtfully for a bit.

"Anyway, magical purgative. I think I made one way back when as practice. Never tried it. Might work, I guess. It should still be in my lab."

Samuel quickly nods and produces the scrying amulet of the Head Diviner! He hands it to her!

"Oh! The scrying amulet! How nice! At least I won't be bored while lying here. My, aren't you a useful fellow!"


Inside the Magical Weaponry and Armor Department...

James gets to looting his not-so-noble adversary!

[Looting roll: 4]

Ooh, he has 8 silver coins, an elegant handkerchief and a whole bunch of magical-looking arrows! His bow looks pretty great, too! James takes all of it!

James also thinks about practicing his beaversnailgoating, but he currently seems to lack any living human subjects. It's no fun without living human subjects!

Search for more loot!

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.

Inside the Magical Weaponry and Armor Department...

James goes looking for some more loot!

[Search roll: 1]

He is, however, accosted by a man in black full plate armor! He wields what appears to be a long steel rod!

[Reaction roll: 3]

He, just like the bowman, appears totally confused by the snail-like creature in front of him! At least, that's all that James can tell from his oddly expressive body language!


Inside the cottage of Bernie's sister...

Samuel nods gratefully and runs off!

"Be careful now, dear!"

He runs inside the lab of Bernie's sister and looks for something like a magical purgative!

[Search roll: 3-1]

Oh gods, so many bottles! This will take forever!

[Search roll: 4-1]

He searches through the entire lab and narrows the purgative's location down to one of six bottles, all unmarked.

[Intelligence roll: ?-1]

Well, it's not the one on the far right, definitely. Too thick for drinking. So, five left.

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.

Inside the lab of Bernie's sister...

Samuel throws caution to the wind and drinks the liquid on the far left! It sizzles and smells of brimstone as it comes in contact with Samuel's spine!

[Samuel endurance roll: 1]

It burns right through his spinal cord, causing him to lose his head once more!

[Samuel will roll: 3]

He isn't quite dying yet, though his body has become very difficult to control now!

Inside the lab...

Samuel tries to pick up and attach his skull!

[Reattachment roll: 2-2]

His body kicks his head into a shadowy corner! Oh great, now he can't see a thing.

[Retrieval roll: 6-2]

His head is easily retrieved, however! Round two!

[Reattachment roll: 1-2]

He fumbles the head placement and it slams down on the table, breaking all of the bottles and spilling their contents everywhere!

[Spilling roll: 1]

The contents of all the bottles mix together in the most horrible way imaginable!

[Explosion roll: 1]

The explosion that results is quite horrible indeed! Samuel's head gets completely destroyed in the carnage! The lab is completely ruined! Samuel's body is blasted out of the door!

[Samuel will roll: 1-1]

Samuel's life essence is leaving him extremely rapidly! Only the most desperate effort of will can save him now!

[Samuel will roll: 5-2]

He doesn't die! Yet! He is in very bad shape though, completely headless, banged up and STILL HUNG OVER.

[Samuel will roll: 4-1]

He doesn't seem to get any worse, though! Not much better, however! He can barely move! Well, could be worse. Could be utterly dead.

[Alarm roll: 1]

A frighteningly angered Bernie runs to the lab!

[Reaction roll: 5]

"Oh, gods, you had better hope you're dead, because if I see you get up and walk again, you are taking the fast track to the afterlife!"

He storms off!

Sam...Is tired. He tried. And now, he will try one last thing: He will store his remaining life essence into the head of the cane. Everything will be poured into it. Thoughts, memories, emotions...That is the final act of Samuel.

Outside the destroyed lab of Bernie's sister...

Samuel curses his lack of a proper body!

Wait, here's an idea! He mustn't WIELD the cane, he must BECOME the cane! He attempts to become the cane!

[Becoming the Cane roll: 5-1]

He successfully leaves his broken undead body and becomes the cane! Sweet! He appears to have lost the effects of the magical hangover! Plus, you know, legs and arms and stuff. But he believes he could float around of his own free will now, if he used the magic well enough! It's too bad he can't use the wizard robe anymore, though! That thing was pretty pimp. Oh well, it didn't work quite as well without the hat, and that was incinerated anyway.

Samuel is now Samucane!

Samucane will now float up to Bernie, just...Just to mock him.

Outside the destroyed lab of Bernie's sister...

Samucane flies over to good ol' Bernie! It attempts to mock him!

[Mockery roll: 4]
[Magic roll: 6+1]

It forms giant letters out of magical canes in the air that say:

SCREW YOU, BERNIE!

Bernie looks up!

"What in the... what's going on here?"

He doesn't get an answer to his question, as the canes immediately all fall on him, burying him in a pile of magical wooden sticks!

[Bernie endurance roll: 1]

Hm, there doesn't appear to be any response from inside the pile.

[Intelligence roll: ?]

He's probably just unconscious. Samucane didn't hear any bones cracking, anyway. His face was pretty funny to look at, though.

Samucane, quite adept with magic, will now fly around and get used to moving as a cane!

This feels like my own, personal RTD. And...And I like that. It's fun!
