[Harry Baldman]

In a pit beneath the surface of the earth...

Maps writes a polite "thank you very much" in the book!

[Book reaction roll: 3]

He feels his regeneration quicken somewhat! Oh, joyous day! See where a bit of common human niceness can lead you?

Next spell, now! Speed-climbing! He takes the bits of blood he still has and tries to write in the book!

[Spell taking roll: 6]

Surprisingly, it works! The book must like him now! Speed Climbing spell obtained!


In a cave full of evil...

Vincent opts to tactically retreat now! After all, that thing seems like it's cave adapted. If it's taken outside, it might be distracted enough to be easily killed!

[Escape roll: 1+1]

Unfortunately, after Vincent begins to retreat, the creature chooses to pounce!

[Pouncing roll: 6]

It hits Vincent straight on, making both of them roll out of the cave and into daylight!

[Creature daylight survival roll: 1]

The creature begins to smoke and bubble beneath the surface of its chitinous body! The fluids inside don't seem to have time enough to escape the exoskeleton!

[Explosion roll: 4]

There is a loud bang as one of the creature's plates shatters, flying off along with most of its internal anatomy in a high-pressure stream! Well, this thing certainly shouldn't be allowed outside a cave! Somebody could get hurt that way!

[TopHat]

Cast speed climbing.
Climb out of pit.

[Harry Baldman]

In a pit of pure darkness...

Maps tries to cast his brand-new speed-climbing spell!

[Magic roll: 1-1]

He chants it once! Nothing. He chants it again! Nothing. He chants it again and again and again! Nothing.

Useless magic! Why do you not work? Ah, forget it, better just climb out on his own!

As soon as Maps puts one of his tails on the rocks, he rockets upward! That would be all well and good, but he flies far too fast, reaching the surface in a matter of seconds, then flying about half a mile into the air, then flying all 2.5 miles back down again!

[Fall damage roll: 1+1-2]

He lands as poorly as an individual possibly could, crushing his legs, tail and most of his snail-flesh into a bloody pulp! Oh dear.

[Maps will roll: 6]

He still manages to survive very nicely, though! Lucky him, stuck as a mangled piece of meat at the bottom of a pit!

[TopHat]

Cast heal me now, please.
Then cast speed climbing and try again.

[Harry Baldman]

In a pit down under...

Maps kindly casts his self-authored healing spell!

[Magic roll: 3-1]

Dammit, nothing! What is going wrong here?

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

Maybe the "please" needs to be more emphatic?

[Magic roll: 3-1]

Well, it's not that! What could it be?

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

What indeed! Again!

[Magic roll: 4-1]

He's not bleeding anymore! He still doesn't have any lower body, though!

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

Again! Again!

[Magic roll: 3-1]

Nothing happens. Crap. What's the problem?

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

Maybe a different spell? How about Regeneration?

[Magic roll: 4]

That's more like it! Maps' lower torso begins to slowly reshape itself! After a while, his snail-boulder lower half has regenerated! Now for some speed-climbing!

[Magic roll: 5-1]

He gains the ability to rapidly and easily climb walls! He tries to climb the wall!

[Climbing roll: 4+2]

He rapidly scales the side of the rock! He manages to get up to some kind of tunnel! There appears to be light coming from the end of it!

[TopHat]

Go through the tunnel.

[miauw62]

Mike will bludgeon the woman's subconcious to death with his potion catalog!

[Harry Baldman]

At the edge of a pit, at the end of a tunnel...

Maps proceeds through the tunnel, following the light! It looks vaguely... pinkish? No matter, it's unusual, therefore its mysteries must be delved into! It's only the duty of a true adventurer!

As Maps reaches the end of the tunnel, he finds an astonishing sight! Fields everywhere, covered in curious plant life! Organic-looking farmhouses are all around, and people seem to be going about their daily business in a manner not unlike the habits of surface dwellers! In the distance Maps sees a city, a magnificent one from the looks of it.

[Perception roll: 1]

Well, nothing suspicious here. In fact, he's probably on the surface right now. Wouldn't make any sense otherwise.


In the subconscious of a mostly unsuspecting woman...

Mike, dissatisfied with his previous performance, but not dissuaded from his intentions, decides to try shenanigans again! He takes his always-implied, seldom-used potion catalog and tries to bludgeon the woman's subconscious to death with it!

[Mike vs. Woman's Subconscious: 1+1 vs. 2]

Despite being armed, Mike doesn't manage to hit the woman single time. The woman doesn't even try to dodge or even make any indication that she knows Mike is there!

Mike might soon develop hurt feelings if this keeps up!

[Onyxjew944]

[Perception roll: 1]

Well, nothing suspicious here. In fact, he's probably on the surface right now. Wouldn't make any sense otherwise.

((I think I remember you saying you hid Intelligence rolls because knowing you had a one would spoil the false knowledge you earned. Doesn't the same argument apply to perception checks? Wouldn't rolling a one then saying "Nothing suspicious" imply the area is completely suspicious?
</random thought rambling>))

[TopHat]

Utilise the vast reserves of botanical knowledge Maps never knew he had to surmise what these strange plants are.

[Harry Baldman]

On what is presumably the surface of something...

Maps tries to draw on the botanical knowledge he can't remember!

[Memory roll: ?]

Well, these plants don't look all that unusual. He's definitely seen their like in lots of places. There's something off about them, but Maps can't quite put his finger on it! The flowers are blooming vibrantly, the birds are chirping, the sun is shining... it's a good day to be alive. Really, why is he dwelling on botany when there are so many more interesting things he could be doing?

((I think I remember you saying you hid Intelligence rolls because knowing you had a one would spoil the false knowledge you earned. Doesn't the same argument apply to perception checks? Wouldn't rolling a one then saying "Nothing suspicious" imply the area is completely suspicious?

Good point! From this time onwards, the results of Perception, Intelligence and Memory rolls will be hidden!

[TopHat]

Take a plant sample, examine it.

[miauw62]

Mike will try to seduce the woman's subconcious!

[Harry Baldman]

In an underground realm...

Maps goes up to one of the fields and grabs a plant sample!

[People alarm roll: 4]

Nobody seems to mind. Time for examination!

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

Well, it's just as pink as any plant around the world. Pink leaves, pink fruit, pink everything. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary there.


Inside a woman's subconscious...

Mike tries to practice his smooth moves on the woman's subconscious!

[Mike seduction roll: 5]

After a bit of smalltalk and flirtation followed by lots of schoolgirl-like giggling, Mike finds that he has enslaved the woman's subconscious mind entirely through sheer smoothness!

He's a lover, not a fighter, it seems!

Now that the woman's subconscious is enslaved, Mike can easily take control of the woman's mind should he wish to!

[TopHat]

Look around for the local fauna.
