[Harry Baldman]

Inside the Crab Temple...

Samucane has a thought! These idiots probably haven't traded with anyone for ages! They'll probably trade him all of their possessions for mere trinkets if he offers to!

~Care for a trade, my good crab compatriots? I have many canes, and information if you desire it!~

[Crab reaction roll: 6]

~OF COURSE WE'LL TRADE WITH YOU! TRADE IS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR SOCIETY!~

~What have you got?~

[Stuff roll: 3]

~OH, WE HAVE MANY NICE-LOOKING SHELLS AROUND. THE PEOPLE ON THE SURFACE LOVE THEM, OR SO THE TRADERS THAT COME HERE SAY.~

~Anything I could carry? Anything magical?~

~OH NO, WE SOLD MOST OF THAT OFF AGES AGO. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE WHEN WE HAD THAT BIG SALE TWO CENTURIES AGO. THE ENTIRE BLACK CIRCLE OF MAGIC WAS HERE, BUYING LIKE MAD! THEY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT DIVINE POWER AT THEIR FINGERTIPS OR SOMETHING, I HAVE NO IDEA. RUSHED OFF IN A HURRY, TOO. LEFT US WITH A FORTUNE IN SURFACE ITEMS, THOUGH. TOO BAD I SOLD ALL OF THEM ABOUT FIFTY YEARS BACK. SOMETHING CALLED A RING OF MAGICAL OMNIPOTENCE, BOOKS OF NECROMANTIC LORE AND A MAGICAL CANE ENHANCER, PLUS MANY OTHER THINGS! TRADED THEM ALL FOR SURFACE FURNITURE, WHICH WAS MUCH NICER TO LOOK AT, TO TELL THE TRUTH.~

The Ancient One points to several terraces full of beautiful antique furniture!

~WE ALSO HAVE A STEEL MAN AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE. STILL WORKS, I THINK. HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SELL THE DAMN THING YET.~


Inside the Library...

James rolls over to a shelf and steals all manner of books! He then proceeds to roll over to the Zoology Department! Wait, where was it, anyway?

[Search roll: 1]

James absentmindedly speeds along the grounds until he slams into the Metamorphosis Department!

[Magical bounce roll: 4]

There is a slight sound of bumping and he rolls away! Hey, you could make a fine safety net out of magic!

Spoiler: GM Note (click to show/hide)

((is there any way to cure this? Ah, well, at least I can actually beat the living daylights out of someone now. And do I get my arms back?))

((If you find a spell to separate snail flesh from human flesh, sure. Regeneration won't work, though. Regeneration repairs your existing body, whatever that may be.))

[TopHat]

Look at map, head back to armoury.

[Harry Baldman]

Rolling along the University of Magic...

James fishes around for his map!

[Inventory management roll: 6-1]

He finds it easily and takes a look! Yep, the Magical Weaponry and Armor Department should be nearby!

[Search roll: 5+1]

He finds it easily! And smashes right into it!

[Building structural integrity roll: 2]

The building shakes and begins to crumble as James goes right through the wall! Better not destroy much more, James thinks!

[Caerwyn]

"Does the steel man work? Can he fight, and take orders?"

[TopHat]

Search for a map of the armoury.
And loots.
((did that spell gieve me my arms back?))

[Harry Baldman]

Inside the Crab Temple...

Samucane is intrigued by this "steel man"!

~Say, does the steel man work? Can he fight and take orders?~

~HELL IF I KNOW. BEEN 50 YEARS SINCE I DUG THE BASTARD UP. FOR ALL I KNOW IT COULD HAVE RUSTED TO PIECES. SAY, I'LL GET IT OUT RIGHT NOW. NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT, I ALWAYS SAY. BRING OUT THE STEEL MAN, DISCIPLES!~

There is a great commotion from somewhere deeper in the temple! The sounds of clanking metal and falling wood ring out through the temple! Ten minutes later, six crabs carry out a fairly rusty-looking construct! The Ancient One taps it with his claw!

~WORK, DAMMIT, WORK!~

[Steel man roll: 5]

The construct springs to life in a second!

"HOW MAY I SERVE YOU, SIR OR MADAM?"

~YEP, WORKS FINE! WANT IT?~


Inside the Magical Weapons and Armor Department...

James rolls down a corridor in search of a map! And loot!

[Search roll: 4]

No map! There is a door that says "To Weapon Showroom", though!

[TopHat]

Walk through the door, brandishing the sword and the bow.
((do I have my arms back? And can I hold stuff with my tails?))

[Caerwyn]

"Sure! What can I offer you? Do note that I am a floating cane, but I can try and divulge knowledge and information, as best as I can.

Slimes?

...Slimes...

[Harry Baldman]

Inside the Magical Weaponry and Armor Department...

James rolls inside the showroom door, making sure to open it with his tails first! Wouldn't want to make more noise! He also brandishes his bow and sword and swaggers as well as a ball of flesh can (not very)!

[Room roll: 5]

Oh dear. Swords everywhere. Axes everywhere. Crossbows everywhere. Every weapon known to man, enchanted in at least six different ways and showed off in order of exhilarating pimpness! All manner of great treasures lie before him in this fine showroom!

[James will roll: 2+1]

A tear of joy forms in his eye and runs down his misshapen flesh!


Inside the Crab Temple...

Samucane is eager to barter for this creature!

~I do indeed want this fine construct! What can I offer you? Do note that I am a floating cane, but I can try and divulge knowledge and information, as best as I can.~

[Asking price roll: 6]

~WELL, IT IS QUITE RUSTED AND UNATTRACTIVE! SUPPLY US WITH A MORE APPEALING CONSTRUCT AND YOU HAVE A DEAL!~

The steel man just stands around and looks confused!

Spoiler: GM Note (click to show/hide)

((do I have my arms back? And can I hold stuff with my tails?))

No, you don't have arms. You lost those before you became a snail, so you still don't have any after the fusion. You can, however, make do with your many tails.

[TopHat]

Grab a bunch of all the best weapons, and practice wielding them in my many tails.
((like the chimp but on a larger scale. Preferably including two crossbows and all manner of nasty slicy smashy killy things for melee))

[Harry Baldman]

Inside heaven itself...

James giggles and rolls around the room looking for the best stuff!

[Shopping roll: 5]

He grabs a hammer that shoots lightning! A sword that apparently can cut diamonds! Two crossbows, one that shoots projectiles made of pure force, another that shoots fireballs! An axe that, once thrown, can split the very earth beneath one's feet! A spear that, when stabbed into someone's heart, makes them explode! All kept in unlocked display cases! Oh my, James might faint if he keeps it up!

For his next trick, he practices wielding ALL SIX WEAPONS AT ONCE!

[Practice roll: 3]
[Random destruction roll: 5]

It's a bit awkward swinging them around like this! Fortunately, nothing explodes! Yet!

[TopHat]

((yes...yes...))
Look for some kind of practice chamber to practise in.
If found, practice 6 weapon wielding in it.
If not, head outside and practice.

[Harry Baldman]

Inside the happiest place in the world...

James, though he is loathe to leave this magnificence, decides to practice somewhere else!

[Practice space location roll: 3]

Well... no practice chamber that he can find! Guess he'll practice outside! Plenty of space there! He rolls out of the Magical Weaponry and Armor Department and begins practicing!

[Practice roll: 1]
[Weapon roll: 1]
[Severity roll: 6]

He is so bad at hextuple-wielding that he hits himself with the lightning hammer! He isn't seriously harmed, but the spasms in his hands make him lose his grip on the earthquake axe! It flies off in the distance!

[Random flight roll: 3]

It flies into the Magical Zoology Department!

[Destruction roll: 5-1]

The building shakes mightily, but remains standing! A testament to its construction!

[TopHat]

Head inside the magical zoology dept. to reclaim my axe.
((oops. Anyway, how will this be resolved in combat, many different attacks or one big bonus
(like the chimp)?))

[Caerwyn]

Sam will offer up the cane man, stating that "He's a top-notch Decorative human; - Not very useful, but one of a kind! You truly will NOT find another anywhere in the world. Would that be a worthy trade? I need something that can protect me, and you need beauty and decoration, correct?
