[Caerwyn]

Samuskull will focus his past Cane energies, any last remnants, and combine them with his current Skull powers. He WILL Create an anchor, or add to the existing one. HE WILL.

[miauw62]

Mike will try his telekinesis again, this time to break the jug!

[Harry Baldman]

In the darkest of voids...

Samskull attempts to focus his energy and make the anchor better somehow!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Well, maybe adding more skulls would help? It always has before.

[Magic roll: 4+1]

Well, now it's an even bigger amalgamation of skulls getting pulled toward an object. In fact, they're nearing each other even faster due to the extra mass added!

[Distance roll: 2]

Oh crap. Collision imminent.

[Collision roll: 6]

The sphere of skulls is entirely submerged in the molten sphere of silver and lead! The sphere begins to spin from the impact! As it does so, the skull golem dives out from the molten surface!

[Sphere cooling roll: 2]

Doesn't look like it will cool off any time soon. The golem looks pretty content, if a bit covered in molten lead and silver.

[Golem endurance roll: 1+1]

That is, until it sinks beneath the surface of the sphere again. Uh oh. Doesn't look like it's about to come up any time soon. Well, it's pretty lucky that it doesn't need to breathe. Well, at least Samskull thinks it doesn't.


Someplace nasty...

Mike tries to break the Jug O' Souls and get free with telekinesis!

[Telekinesis roll: 4]

He pulls the jug out of the woman's hands and smashes it against the ground!

[Jug endurance roll: 2+1]

Well, there's a dent on the metal surface now. That's not half bad.

"Ooh, look! It moved!"

"Yes."

"No change in the plan?"

"Yes."

"Okay, master!"

She carries the jug off to one side of the room and sticks it inside a box!

[Box roll: 1]

The jug is encircled by energy and immediately shattered! Mike and the rest of the souls find themselves in a transparent glass box! A woman in her sixties is eying them curiously! Behind her there is a throne. A dog is sitting in it. Odd. The woman speaks!

"I was right! There were souls in it!"

The dog on the throne replies shortly!

"Yes."

"What do we do with them?"

"What?"

[Master intelligence roll: ?]

"Do we sell them to demons or what?"

"Demons."

"Brilliant idea, master!"

The woman walks over to a drawn-on door in the wall and begins chanting!

[miauw62]

((Hey, atleast i'm going to be the first person in the entire RTD to meet a demon!))
Mike will wait.

[TopHat]

Thank man, memorise map using glasses, head into Yellowglen.

[Caerwyn]

Sam will now create some floating, laughing skulls to amuse himself with!

Also, Miauw, I did sorta meet the Lord of Lies, who teleported me to hell, surrounded by his minions, so...?

[miauw62]

((Ooh, right. How did i forget that?))

[Harry Baldman]

In the lair of the Dogmaster...

Mike taps a nonexistent foot and whistles as he waits for something to happen!

[Woman demon summoning roll: 4]

After a while, the drawn-on door begins to glow quite interestingly! With a piercing shriek it opens, and a figure steps out! It looks like a whirlwind of metallic spheres!

"YOU HAVE CALLED ME. DO YOU WISH TO TRADE FOR SOMETHING?"

"Yes."

"SOULS AGAIN?"

"Yes."

"IN THE BOX OVER THERE, I PRESUME?"

"Yes."

"GOOD."

"Yes."

"HAVE A TREAT."

One of the spheres escapes the whirlwind and flies into the dog's open mouth! Its eyes glow for a few seconds!

"Jolly good."

"I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT."

"Me too."

The whirlwind approaches the box!

"I COUNT FIFTY-SEVEN SOULS INSIDE THIS BOX. THAT IS QUITE A LOT. ONE OF THEM IS ANCIENT, TWO ARE ALREADY OWNED."

"How unfortunate."

"STILL, FIFTY-FIVE SOULS ARE NOTHING TO SCOFF AT. YOU WILL BE RICHLY REWARDED."

"Marvelous, that."

"RIGHT, LET'S GET TO BUSINESS."

The demon pulls out all of the souls inside the box and concentrates them into a single golden sphere that sticks out among the rest. Mike and Ted are both left behind in the box!

The whirlwind goes back to the portal and emits a high-pitched whistle!

Several metallic crates come out of the portal and set themselves down next to the door!

"NOW, I BELIEVE WE ARE DONE WITH OUR TRANSACTION. I BID YOU GOOD DAY."

The whirlwind disappears through the door, taking the fifty-five compatriots of Mike with it! The door itself disappears shortly afterward.

"I'm glad that worked out to our advantage!"

"Yes, quite."

The woman pulls out a crowbar and tries to open a crate!


On the road to Yellowglen...

James thanks the man for his assistance and tries to memorize the map!

As he studies it, the glasses begin to charge up.

[Will roll: 1]

He gets totally mesmerized by the map's beauty while he looks at it! Oh my.


At the edge of the universe...

Samskull tries to summon some floating, laughing skulls other than himself!

[Magic roll: 5+1]

He summons a whole lot of them! After gravity starts pulling on them, they go off to live on the silver-lead planetoid!

[Society building roll: 1]

Somehow, they begin to wage violent war on one another! After one side sends their agents to sabotage the planetoid's core, they manage to blow the planetoid in half! Both sides are now rapidly moving away from one another, but seem likely to slow down soon.

[miauw62]

((Wait. One of them is ancient, that's Ted. Two of them are already owned. That's me (Bernie) and who?))
Mike will tap the energy barrier and form the words "What about us?".

[TopHat]

((maybe you've got it wrong. She probably took the ancient one, and that means Ted is also owned))
RapidKineticImpulseTherapy myself to snap myself back into action.
Then try again.

[Caerwyn]

Samuskull is tired of this. He's going to create a Skull Door, a literal door made of skulls that leads to...Well, anywhere! Problem is, it can only teleport skulls or bones. So don't jump in there if you're living.

[miauw62]

((maybe you've got it wrong. She probably took the ancient one, and that means Ted is also owned))

((Yeah, but Ted said that he's been in there the first, that means he must be the ancient one.))

[Harry Baldman]

Inside a Soul Box...

Mike tries to form words by trying to tap the magical glass wall of the box!

[Telekinesis roll: 3]

He manages to make some chains rattle somewhere!

[Woman reaction roll: 1]

"AAGH! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!"

[Master intelligence roll: ?]

"Shut it."

"Okay. It's probably nothing, I guess."

"Definitely nothing."

She resumes prying off the lid of the box!

[Box treats roll: ?]

She pulls out an odd-looking contraption from the box! It has a crank and a large pipe coming from it!

[Woman caution roll: 2]

She begins to turn the crank, pointing it at the wall! The box begins to crackle with tamed lightning! Soon enough, it charges up quite a lot!

[Discharge roll: 4]

It discharges into a metallic pillar, passing into the ground harmlessly!

Mike is suddenly distracted by Ted!

"So, you managed to get the jug destroyed. Good job, man. Good job. We're all mortal now. Well, not the ones the demon carried away. The two of us are now mortal, I mean. Next body we possess, we had better make it last."

"Well, it was a stupid plan anyway. I mean, seriously, possessing people instead of dying properly gets really old after the first thousand years. Four thousand years I've procrastinated. I really should have moved on by now."

"Honestly, the things I've done to avoid honoring a bargain."

He hears a sigh emanate from Ted!


In the woods...

James tries to summon enough power to punch himself! In the face!

[Will roll: 4]

He successfully manages to punch himself and tear himself away from the map!

[Opportunism roll: 6]

A guy, a new guy, seems to be standing next to him!

"You okay, man?"

James ignores him and switches the glasses on!

[Will roll: 3]

He now has the map partially memorized!

[Mesmerizification roll: 4]

He drools a bit, but remains entirely conscious and unstupefied!


In the void...

Samskull tries to create a Skull Door!

[Magic roll: 3+1]

He manages to make a magnificent door of skulls! It has no doorknob. It does have a doggy door, though! He floats through it!

[Door roll: 3]

He finds himself exit another door that's formed on one of the silver-lead half-planets!

[TopHat]

Sign for the man to shush, finish memorising map, turn and ask man what he wants.
((key word is Tim said.))

[Caerwyn]

Interesting. Time to create some life! Skulls with sentience! Er, floating skulls, that is.
