((Sort of, you get the defensive and offensive bonuses from wielding a halberd. However, you are far from proficient with your new body.))
In the deep, dark caves untouched by the light of the sun...Leon, on the ground and faced with a whole lot of monster to kill before the day is done, goes stabbity-stab at it!
[Leon vs. Thing: 5+1 vs. 2]
And a mighty stabbity-stabbing it is indeed, with some additional chopping and dicing included! The thing reels! It oozes! Its limbs get hacked off one by one! The thing drops to the ground, emitting a final chitter-shriek before it goes motionless and silent!
[Acclimatization roll: 2]
Leon is so busy basking in the joy of victory that he doesn't notice himself getting carried off again! Honestly, he's starting to get used to it! He gets dumped inside the room with the slab again!
[? roll: 1]
The great beast descends on him once more and strips off the flesh from his bones! All of it! Once he gets skeletonized, he is immediately picked up and taken to the other side of the room! Here he gets restrained and placed into some kind of loosely form-fitting bed of stone. Hm, wonder why they-
A stream of molten metal pours over Leon!
[Will roll: 5]
He holds on to his dear unlife with almost supernatural conviction, letting the metal flow over his restrained body and harden! After a short while, the metal rapidly cools for some reason! Then it heats up once more and something begins to hammer it!
[Craftsmanship roll: 3]
After a long period of time, Leon feels air rush inside his head! Two eye holes seem to have been made on his face! Also, he can move his halberd arms and legs now, which have been similarly exposed and resharpened! His leg joints are even stiffer than before, however.
Leon is now a
Metal Guardian!
Before he can get used to his limbs, however, he is taken back to the room with the sounds by ten sets of claws! After some more clacking, clicking and whistling, the things load him onto a wheelbarrow of some kind and rapidly transport him somewhere!
After about ten minutes of high-speed movement, he gets deposited on the ground in total darkness! He hears a *KER-CLACK* as something is slapped around his neck!
Meanwhile on university grounds...James is glad that he is not a piece of crushed infested vampire flesh right now! So glad, in fact, that he decides to get back to what he is here for in the first place! He looks for weak points in any faculty buildings!
[Building choice roll: 2]
[Search roll: 2]
He walks to the Magical Botany Department and takes a look around! Pretty secure, it seems. No obvious glaring weaknesses. Damn those botanists and their slow, careful approach to science!
