Use all that chanting calmness to HIT THAT POET IN THE EGO! IT SEEMS TO BE HIS WEAKNESS!
((no. I'm just trying to get rid of the poet-thing.))

[Harry Baldman]

Suspended and quadriplegic...

Mike tries to possess the body of the falling Ekim! She tries to leave her body!

[Will roll: 2]

Hm, it seems that leaving her body voluntarily does not come as easily to her as she might have supposed! Ekim quickly plummets out of sight as Mike strains to concentrate on her current task!


Inside the mind of John "Maps" Johnson...

Maps tries to remember what it was he was doing!

[Memory roll: ?]

Was he just going for one of those introspective trips? Those are quite popular these days. It would explain how he feels oddly bodiless at the moment! Yeah, that's probably it.

Boy, Maps is glad he solved that problem. That's what introspective journeys are for, right? Solving problems?

[TopHat]

((insert flashing lightbulb eureka moment))
Inform the poet how stupid he is - challenge him to FIND THE EXACT VALUE OF PI!
Proceed to mercilessly taunt him about his ignorance when he fails

[Harry Baldman]

In the mind of a disturbed individual...

Maps tries to remember who this poet fellow he's so peeved about might be!

[Memory roll: ?]

Doesn't ring a bell, to tell the truth.

~HAVING FUN?~

~Who are you?~

~OH, I'M THE PRESTIDIGITATOR. YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW ME, EVEN THOUGH YOU CURRENTLY OCCUPY A DISTINCT PORTION OF MY MIND. I WAS THINKING OF GIVING YOU MY BODY WHEN I'M DONE WITH IT.~

[TopHat]

Root around the memories in this portion of the mind.
((pretty please can there be stuff saying he's James in there...))

[miauw62]

Mike will just continue falling, and aim her head UP, so she doesn't split her skull like he did last time, it's not like she can feel any pain in her lower body anyway.

[Firelordsky]

Just walk away and look for a blacksmith.

[Harry Baldman]

Inside the bloody head of a bloody lunatic...

Maps searches through a few of the recesses of his memory! Maybe there's something cool in here!

[Search roll: 6]

He finds a room filled with filing cabinets! Compared to the rest of his memories, which only date back a day, these seem to date back to, well, the day of his birth! Awesome!

Too bad all of it's blocked off by a giant steel door marked "ENTRY PROHIBITED BY DECREE OF JOHN "MAPS" JOHNSON ON THE GROUNDS OF CONTAINING IRRELEVANT AND INCORRECT DATA". The door is locked, and there is no keyhole in sight! In fact, you could just as well call this door a wall, considering that there doesn't seem to be a way of opening it!


In a grey void...

Mike chooses to continue falling, relaxing her telekinetic grip on herself!

She falls and falls, remembering to aim her head up! After about an hour of falling, she lands on something!

[Fall damage roll: 4-1]

It's Ekim! He's dead from an overdose of ceramic to the body. Makes for a nice landing pillow, though! Mike doesn't feel a thing! Her pelvis might be totally shattered, but she feels totally okay!

Well, except for the fact that she is now on an endless ceramic surface and covered in bear gore. Those are definitely not okay!


In a town of some kind...

Vincent discreetly leaves the scene of the grisly bit of manslaughter and heads for the blacksmith!

He enters along with his metal companion and finds a tall, very thin and pale, though still soot-covered individual! Judging by his clothes and the tools in his hands, he must be the blacksmith! He definitely doesn't look the part physically, though!

[miauw62]

Mike will look around for anything of significance.

[Onyxjew944]

Vincent discreetly leaves the scene of the grisly bit of manslaughter and heads for the blacksmith!

I see what you did there.

Had to acknowledge pun. I'll return to lurking now.

[TopHat]

Sod this! I am a LIVING BOULDER OF SNAIL MUSCLE! WALLS MEAN NOTHING. DOORS MEAN NOTHING. RAMMING SPEEEEEEEEEED!

[Firelordsky]

Greet the blacksmith and ask if they have any rapiers.

[Harry Baldman]

On an endless ceramic plain...

Mike, despite being unable to move anything but her head, tries to scope out the plain around!

[Perception roll: ?]

She sees odd canyon-like depressions off in the distance, stretching off into the distance! That's certainly interesting!


Next to a seemingly insurmountable mental block...

Maps realizes that he didn't get as far as he has in life to be stopped by a petty door! He rolls back a bit, then tries to ram into the steel door!

[Ramming roll: 4]

He gets up to a decent speed and smacks into the steel door!

[Maps vs. Steel Door: 4 vs. 1+2]

The door loosens from the frame visibly, displaced by Maps' mighty charge! Again, again!

[Ramming roll: 3]

Feeling more confident in his weight than before, Maps doesn't try quite so hard this time! He still rams into the steel door, but it lacks a certain... barbaric force that the previous charge had!

[Maps vs. Steel Door: 4-1 vs. 5+1]

As such, it fails to displace the door in any way! In fact, it kind of hurts! Again!

[Ramming roll: 3]

He rams in the exact same manner once again, not one to learn from his mistakes!

[Maps vs. Steel Door: 3-1 vs. 2+1]

Predictably, it doesn't work. Maybe Maps should change his strategy?

[Ramming roll: 4]

He tries to ram harder this time!

[Maps vs. Steel Door: 6 vs. 3+1]

And it works! The door slides backwards a bit, with one corner popping out of the frame!

[Ramming roll: 2]

Maps pauses to compliment himself on a job well done!


In the Town of Eviscerated Urchins...

Vincent tries to ask the blacksmith if they have any rapiers!

[Nonverbal communication roll: 5]

Through a lot of pantomimed swashbuckling, he manages to express that a rapier is indeed what he wants!

[Blacksmith attention roll: 4+1]

The blacksmith watches intently for a bit, then nods!

[Blacksmith exotic sword roll: 5]

He produces three masterfully-crafted, deadly-looking rapiers from a cabinet nearby!

[Blacksmith nonverbal communication roll: 1]

He then makes various gestures detailing impolite and awful things he's done with Vincent's mother lately!

[TopHat]

hit the door with a force bolt not its sufficiently weakened.
Then look through memories.

[Harry Baldman]

Next to a sufficiently resilient mental block...

Maps, realizing that sheer muscle might not be the best way to take down a steel door, tries to use his force crossbow the finish the door off!

[Maps vs. Door: 4+1 vs. 2]

The door is heavily dented enough to fall right out of the frame! It now looks like an unusually thick soup bowl on the ground! Maps passes through the now-open doorway and goes on to search his memories for something funny and/or useful!

[Memory search roll: 4]

Okay, so, according to the files here, his name used to be James Lanthorn, he served a certain Bernie von Glautzenheiser, he was gifted with incredible misfortune and he seems to have encountered a female version of himself at some point in his adventures. Plus a rampaging dentist stole his teeth. And he managed to rally a peasant revolution through practicing his speaking. And he was sliced into bits by a six-armed scalpel-wielding chimp.

[Belief roll: 2]

Yeah, right. That totally happened and is not just the invention of a diseased mind. Yeah.
