Inside the Illusion Department...Jordan considers 5 seconds more than enough time to get ready for receiving vast amounts of axe-related injuries!
"I say, should we start our duel now?""Duel? What are you-"[Jordan vs. Exp. Illusionist 1: 5+1 vs. 6-1-1]
Jordan swings the axe, slicing across the illusionist's abdomen! There is a lot of blood, but the illusionist is not really impeded by the wound!
[Exp. Illusionist 1 magic roll: 4+1]
The illusionist turns himself invisible! Oh my! The other two illusionists also begin to wave their hands in arcane gestures!
[Exp. Illusionist 2 magic roll: 1+1]
[Exp. Illusionist 3 magic roll: 2+1]
But their gesturing proves fruitless as Jordan strikes first!
[Jordan vs. Exp. Illusionist 2: 4+1 vs. 2-1-1]
He manages to axe the illusionist in the shoulder, putting sufficient strength in the axe to cleave through all that pesky bone, and thus manages to reach his heart! The illusionist falls down bleeding! Well, he won't be getting up from that one!
[Exp. Illusionist 3 magic roll: 6+1]
[Exp. Illusionist 1 magic roll: 4+1]
The only visible illusionist turns himself invisible! And everybody else in the room as well, corpses included! Also, a strange circle of light appears around Jordan!
[Jordan will roll: 4]
It doesn't seem to do anything, though! Well, aside from a teensy tingling sensation in Jordan's skull. Odd.
Outside the Magical Zoology Department...James, sticking to a method that proved effective the first time, tries to build a battering ram!
[Siege engineering roll: 2]
There doesn't seem to be a whole lot around to make use of to build a battering ram! And using himself as a wrecking ball really, really hurt the first time! Having exhausted those two methods, James is totally stumped on how to proceed! Perhaps a more traditional break-in is in order?
[Search roll: 3]
Well, there is an open window. An attic window. It's pretty small.
Outside the scorched and ruined Divination Department...Samuel has made a decision! He will go to Fiverock! Hopefully Dirk is as imaginary as he believes, though. Otherwise there could be trouble.
[Samuel will roll: 4]
Nah, how could he be real? That's impossible, considering that Samuel made him up not six hours ago. Hopefully.
He goes down the road to Fiverock, looking for nature to blast on the way!
[Blastable nature roll: 3]
There's a few squirrels in the trees! They must DIE!
[Samuel magic roll: 6]
Twenty flaming canes shoot out of Samuel's magic focus! They beat the squirrels to death! They beat the trees to death! They attempt to beat the ground to death! Everything is on fire!
[Fire roll: 4-
1]
Well, the fire doesn't appear to be burning very fiercely, despite being magical. That's good. Must be the fact that it's winter. Oh well, time to raise him some undead minions of his own!
[Samuel magic roll: 4+1-1-
2]
The squirrels steadfastly remain dead! Damn it all!
Inside the Metamorphosis Department...Alaric has a perfect strategy to get the beautiful man over to Bernie's sister! He'll lie like nobody's lied before!
[Lying roll: 6]
"Greetings, my beautiful friend! I am here to bring you great news! Your great beauty has made you beloved by Narcillicus, Beloved Son of the Five, god of beauty and industry!""Well, fuck me! I guess all that work has finally paid off!""Fuck you indeed! You must follow me to the Temple of Beauty immediately! There you will be inducted into the ranks of the Chosen!""Fuck yeah! Let's roll!""We have no time to waste! Let us rush like there was no tomorrow!"They get to the barricade!
[Beautiful man magic roll: 1]
The beautiful man waves his hands, turning the barricade into an elephant! It looks slightly angry.
Somewhere unknown...Leon checks his body! Well, everything is still in place. That's good. He attempts to communicate with the men!
[Nonverbal communication roll: 1-
1]
He attempts to gesture with his halberd arms and finds out he has a very limited communication range, being unable to speak and having no fingers! To hell with it, then, everyone must die!
[Leon vs. Man 1: 4+1 vs. 1+1-
1]
He stabs the man through the skull! The man, predictably, falls to the ground and dies.
[Men morale roll: 2]
The other two begin clicking and clacking and leap through a nearby window!
[Man? 2 agility roll: 1+1]
[Man? 3 agility roll: 3+1]
Leon hears a loud THWACK come from outside, along with a dragging sound! Well, goes to show that improvisation doesn't always work.
