In a party that just got a whole lot deader...

Samuel tries one more time to raise some corpses to serve as minions!

[Intelligence roll: ?-1]

He seems to be missing something that he needs to do magic! Wonder what it could be?

Samuel will continue to attempt it. And if it fails, his next turn will be the same thing. And again. And again.

In the ruins of what was once a perfectly modest party...

Samuel is not one to be stopped by impossibility! He laughs at this foolishness! He HAS to be able to do it! He's undead, after all! He has to be able to make more!

He tries again! Nothing happens. And again! Dang. He waves his hands in odd patterns! He gyrates suggestively! He dances drunkenly!

[Persistence roll: 4]

He attempts to raise these lazy bastards with all his might! They don't rise. Lazy bastards, after all he's done for them! They must arise at his command, or he'll get really upset, and you don't want to see that happen!

[Intelligence roll: ?-1]

Well, something definitely is missing. Something crucial. Bah, it shouldn't matter! Rise, minions! Rise!

He makes funny movements until early in the morning, at which point he gets perilously bored! He appears to have made some progress, though! The dead guys now all seem to be decomposing! They'll become skeletons in no time!

Now to just figure out how to make them animated!

Samuel will...He will give up. Enough. Enough of all this nonsense. Is there any point to it? He's tired of being alone. There's not a single reason why he should be doing idiotic things. Sam will now try and locate Bernie...Perhaps by using the Scrying amulet? And he'll try to scry his old friends, Jordan and the like, too...

What use is that? Can't raise zombies...Can't raise demons...Can't save friends...

In a party that's dragged on for far too long...

Samuel, quite bored right now, decides to attempt to find some quality entertainment! He takes out the scrying amulet and attempts to find Bernie!

[Scrying roll: 6-1]

Drunk as he is, Samuel manages to find Bernie! He appears to be almost exactly where he left him! Great!

Samuel also feels a stirring on his magic map! It's plotted a course through what appears to be somewhat treacherous wilderness right back to Bernie's house! That's sort of cool. It'll take him about three days max to get there!

Next, Samuel attempts to locate Jordan!

[Scrying roll: 6-1]

He sees his head on the ground in a dark tomb! Looks pretty dead.

[Composure roll: 2-1]

He drops to his knees and attempts to scream in anguish! Failing that, he silently curses his lack of vocal chords!

Oh well. Next fellow.

[Scrying roll: 2-1]

The amulet finds a random vampire somewhere else! He appears to currently be receiving a horrible amount of punishment from a fellow with a sword-whip. There's a pentacle sticking out of his forehead. Hm. Next guy!

[Scrying roll: 5-1]

He sees a metal body lying motionless in the woods! Wonder who that is? Hm, let's see, who's left?

[Scrying roll: 5-1]

He spies a spectral fellow escorting an absolutely enchanting man through the woods. There is murder in his eyes! Well.

[Scrying roll: 6-1]

He locates a skeleton with a tail-arm currently looking triumphant at having opened a door through skill and finesse rather than brutal violence! Samuel can't help but feel for the guy.

Well, that takes care of those five guys.


In the quarters of some other researcher schlub...

Vincent immediately goes for the chest!

[Security measures roll: 6]

It's open!

[Loot roll: 1]

Probably because it isn't actually a chest! It's some kind of dirty illusionist trick! It shoots massive amounts of colorful illusionist lights at Vincent exactly like most dirty illusionist tricks do!

[Will roll: 2]

Ooh. Pretty lights. What's that? The lights want Vincent to jump out of a window? Sure!

[Window choice roll: 1]

It seems pretty urgent, so Vincent doesn't wait for an opportune window to show up! He goes through the wall instead!

[Building structural integrity roll: 6]

The wall suddenly gets all magical and stuff and bounces Vincent away!

[Vincent agility roll: 4+1]

He lands quite nicely, managing to stay completely unhurt! What luck!

Sam will go get anything he left in the cave back, then try to un-drunkenfy himself.

In the sordid remains of a once-acceptably raucous party...

Samuel finally realizes that he must have accidentally grabbed some kind of cavern-dwelling mammal instead! Easy mistake to make. He heads back to the cave!

[Navigation roll: 6-1]

Through perfectly retracing his steps drunken stumble after drunken fall, he manages to find the exact cave he was formerly in! He saunters in!

[Search roll: 5-1]

So that's where the cane was the entire time! Stuck beneath a bear's buttock! He knew he had the right idea the first time! He pulls the cane out!

[Bear sleep roll: 3]

The bear stirs slightly and rolls toward Samuel!

[Samuel agility roll: 3+1-1]

Samuel steps out of the way. Well, falls drunkenly out of the way. But the result is the same! He is away from the bear, cane in hand! Oh, sweet cane, how your daddy's missed you!

Samuel walks out of the cave and calls upon the power of the early morning to magically detox himself!

[Magic roll: 4-3]

He is no longer drunk! Oh no, it's much, much worse now!

Samuel is Magically Hungover!


Inside the quarters of a researcher of artifacts...

Vincent tries to shake the pretty lights from his head!

[Will roll: 2]

But... so pretty! He tries to jump out of a window again!

[Window choice roll: 2]

He jumps out of a window right above a pond!

[Fall damage roll: 2+1]

He lands like a sack of petrified potatoes in the putrid pond!

[Pond creature roll: 3]

A particularly large fish begins to nibble on one of his femurs!

Outside the Artifact Vault...

Vincent stands up from the pond and chooses to walk over to somewhere less fish-infested! He stands on the cobblestones for a short bit until an idea strikes him!

He tries to detach his head!

[Strength roll: 4]

He does so!

[Will roll: 2]

He feels incredibly weak all of a sudden! Oh my!

[Will roll: 4]

He does, however, manage to get himself together! In fact, he actually manages to separately control both parts of his body!

He puts his own head in his backpack!

...

Great, now he can't see a damn thing. Wonderful.
