Mike will telekinetically smash the boulder into Bernie and stick his face in to smile.

[Harry Baldman]

Next to the Fountain of Visions...

Mike, facing a violent problem, chooses to go with his Problem-Solving Plan A, which is to perform telekinetic violence on the offending problem until it is solved.

[Telekinesis roll: 3]

He manages to make the boulder roll menacingly towards fake Bernie for a few feet! Fake Bernie doesn't look impressed. In fact, he looks rather amused.

[Fake Bernie magic roll: 4]

Mike suddenly feels like his soul is getting pulled in five different directions! The pain is rather awful, if he may say so himself! Bernie laughs for a bit, then goes quiet and thoughtful for a few seconds.

"Now let me think, to kill or not to kill?"

[Bernie mood roll: 2]

He scratches his head for a bit, allowing Mike to recover! Mike does believe that he won't be able to take much more of this, however!

"Eh, I suppose I'll finish the job."

He is about to gesture at Mike again!

[Yoink]

"Aw hells Tom, aw noes, why ya gotsta be fallin' aparts just now?! 'Snot a real good time for it..."
Timothy grimaced as he rushed over to the fallen Tom's side, wracking his brains for what meagre knowledge of medicine he possessed and then wracking them to figure out how it might apply to a person made of straw.

"Mediiiiiiiic!" He cried out, abruptly.
"Stretcher bearers!"
He frowned at himself and shut up, clearing his throat sheepishly. Seemed like some of that earlier, rather anachronistic heroism was still in his system... Oh well, now was not the time to worry about that.

>Telekinetically piece poor Tom back together!

>Use bits of leaves and twigs and grass as necessary. Leaves and twigs and grass are basically what straw is, right?

...Right?

[Harry Baldman]

In a surprisingly deadly forest...

Upon seeing the mouse melt, Timothy decides that there is no point dwelling on that and instead opts to try and help Tom!

"Aw hells Tom, aw noes, why ya gotsta be fallin' aparts just now?! 'Snot a real good time for it..."

Now, let's see, what are you supposed to do in this situation?

"Mediiiiiiiic! Stretcher bearers!"

Okay, not that. Timothy considers how much he knows of medicine.

[Medicine roll: 6]

The lower torso definitely should go back on the scary-crow, he decides. Yes. That is a sound plan.

[Telekinesis roll: 2]

Damnation! The torso seems to almost fall apart as he picks it up! What's a scary-crow to do?

That was a rhetorical question, by the way. Clearly, the answer is improvize!

[Telekinesis roll: 1]

He manages to pull various bits of plant and animal life out of the forest and drop them all on Tom! The result is... not pretty. After the animals are done, very little is left of Tom.

[miauw62]

Telekinetically behead him! Now!

[Harry Baldman]

Inside the Dream Palace...

Mike tries to behead that pesky fake Bernie before he causes further trouble!

[Telekinesis roll: 2]

It turns out pulling off someone's head with magic is harder than it looks!

[Bernie magic roll: 5]

Bernie gestures at Mike again, striking at his very soul! Mike twitches, turns and convulses like mad!

[Mike will roll: 1]

He begins to feel very awful!

[Mike will roll: 3-1]

Although soul magic is really painful, as Mike finds, it is not immediately fatal! It is only fatal in the short term, whatever comfort that brings.

"Come on and die already. I'm getting sick of this."

[miauw62]

DE-IMAGINE BERNIE!

[Harry Baldman]

Inside the Dream Palace...

Mike tries to de-imagine fake Bernie!

[Imagination roll: 2-1]

But how would he do this? How would it work? Does he imagine a lack of Bernie, ignore him, what? He wracks his brain thinking about this!

[Will roll: 5-2]

Fortunately, it distracts him sufficiently to prevent him from dying just yet!

"Alright, now you die. For real this time!"

[Bernie magic roll: 4]

Mike feels a horrible twisting at his very core! Oh, the humanity!

[Will roll: 2-2]

This final twist is sufficient to extinguish all life left in him! Mike is left a horrible, twisted, lifeless wreck of what was formerly a crow! Fake Bernie kicks at him just to be sure.

"Well, looks pretty dead to me, whatever that thing was."

After glancing around to make sure nobody he knows can see him, he does a little dance atop Mike's remains. As he does so, he opens Mike's jaw and sees his own face within!

"Good gods," he says, looking shocked.

"Was I always that ugly?"

Mike has been thoroughly killed by a figment of his own imagination!

He does, however, awaken shortly after in the realm of the Demon of Light!

"RISE AND SHINE, MINION, IT'S A BRAND NEW DAY! WELL, IN A RELATIVE SENSE. IT'S NEVER DAY IN THE REALM OF ETERNAL DARKNESS! HOWEVER, NOW IS THE TIME FOR YOUR NEW LIFE IN THE SERVICE OF ME, THE DEMON OF DROWNING!"

"Wait, so you WEREN'T the Demon of Light?"

"GODS, NO. DID YOU HONESTLY THINK I WAS?"

"Uh... no?"

"GOOD! NOW LET'S GET TO WORK."

"What am I going to have to do?"

"THINGS I CAN'T BE ARSED TO DO MYSELF, MOSTLY. LIKE FISH CORPSES OUT OF THE NEVERENDING PITS OF DROWNING."

"Oh."

Mike and his new master fly off into the lack of a sunset (or any light, actually). Mike sighs sadly, realizing that it's going to be a long eternity. Well, hopefully the Neverending Pits of Drowning aren't as bad as they sound.

"I KNOW YOU MUST HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS ON YOUR MIND NOW, BUT THE FOREMOST OF THOSE ARE PROBABLY THESE: ARE THE NEVERENDING PITS OF DROWNING AS BAD AS THEY SOUND AND CAN I KEEP ANY VALUABLES I FIND ON CORPSES? WELL, THE ANSWER TO BOTH OF THOSE QUESTIONS IS YES."

Well.

Spoiler: GM Note (click to show/hide)

Considering that four out of six PCs are dead and none of them stand a chance of achieving their objective, new chapter will be coming soon.

[miauw62]

"Is there any way so i could do something else?"
((Goddamnit this chapter was deadly. I'm kinda sad that I don't get to see the perks.))

[Harry Baldman]

In the realm of the Demon of Drowning...

Mike tries one last time to avoid fishing corpses out of the Neverending Pits of Drowning!

"Is there any way I could do something else?"

"NO. WELL, NOT UNTIL YOU WORK IN THE PITS FOR A FEW HUNDRED YEARS. THEN YOU MIGHT GET PROMOTED. BUT YOU PROBABLY WON'T. I HEAR THE SHIFT SUPERVISOR THERE IS A REAL JERK."

"Wait, you get to work in shifts?"

"NO. SO I HAVE NO DEA WHAT HE'S DOING THERE TO BEGIN WITH. SEEMS COMFORTABLE, THOUGH."

((Goddamnit this chapter was deadly. I'm kinda sad that I don't get to see the perks.))

And you didn't even get to the intended deadly part. I promise I'll stop being so murderous next chapter, though. As to the perks you would have received, let me think... I suppose you would have gotten Easy Possession, Extended Imagination or Master Ventriloquist.

The thing about the imagination powers, by the way, was that if you used them successfully ten times, you would lose the -1 penalty. Sort of an open-your-mind kind of deal.

[miauw62]

((Either way, it's been a great first RTD for me, I guess i may return later.))
"Sure you don't need someone to make, like, potions? Else I guess I'll head there."

[Harry Baldman]

((Either way, it's been a great first RTD for me, I guess i may return later.))

((Wasn't your first RTD Roll to Defend Reality? Didn't last long, sure, but still.))

[miauw62]

((Either way, it's been a great first RTD for me, I guess i may return later.))

((Wasn't your first RTD Roll to Defend Reality? Didn't last long, sure, but still.))

((Yup, I didn't count that due to it only lasting 13 turns. Either way, you still haven't submitted this into the RTD library. You should really do that.))

[Harry Baldman]

((Yup, I didn't count that due to it only lasting 13 turns. Either way, you still haven't submitted this into the RTD library. You should really do that.))

((I did. The library just hasn't been updated yet.))

((Oh, alright. I guess i'll stop derailing this thread now. 'Twas nice.))
