In an alleyway in Emlocke...

Darren stares at the cat for a short bit and tries to possess it! After all, being intangible is known to be, according to most experts, "a lame thing for losers". He concentrates on the cat!

Nothing happens, though. Aw, damn it all. Guess he needs something special to actually possess people. Or animals. He can sort of pretend to possess inanimate objects through telekinesis and ventriloquism, if that makes him feel any better.

The cat is currently giving him a dirty look with its one eye.


In a blacksmith's shop...

Hardly missing a beat, Luke immediately begins to plot against good ol' Bernie with the lady!

"We''ll help you on two conditions, you ask our master for an alliance and one way or another get him killed, if you do that and survive I'll be happy to be your assistant when this is over."

[Fire Lady reaction roll: 2]

"Uh, I'm going to have to pass on that. No offense, but I'd prefer not to associate with someone immediately ready to betray their allies for a random stranger who just crawled out of a furnace. Doesn't seem wise, you know. You are probably either lying to me or you are a chronic backstabber and I'm better off without your help. Nothing personal, I just prefer not to associate with scum."

[Fire Lady idea roll: ?]

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be leaving."

She starts to walk away from the two undead fellows.

[Spinal_Taper]

"Stupid cat."
Throw a can at it, then fly off.

((Possesion is an ability that comes with some disadvantages. The fact that you can't be a ghost anymore, for example. And the only way it has been caused so far is by an artifact known as the Jug O' Souls, created by the Demon of Light, altough the Demon of Darkness has also been observed to give a previously possesive spirit this power back. [/LBADtrivia]))

Essentially this means you need an anchor to keep your soul from drifting away after it leaves your body. This allows you to A) possess new bodies and B) be immortal as long as the anchor exists. This anchor can be anything, from an object to a person, but you usually need a demon's level of command over souls to perform this procedure.

Also, you can still be a ghost. You just need to possess one. Like Dick, the guy who Mike replaced in the jug did. In fact, Dickmike is still at large, considering that nobody's killed him yet.

"He's not my ally, he soul bounded me or something, please your my only hope, I can tell you where he's hidden."
Anti Burnie conspirator two: The conspiring.

[Onyxjew944]

'Why ever does that zombie hate Josh so? All I think he wanted us to do was brutally murder this young furnace-woman. That isn't so hard. She is horrifically boring after all.'

Use the opportunity my less-than-trustworthy friend is giving me and kill the fire mage.

In an alleyway...

Darren questions the cat's intellectual abilities, then attempts to telekinetically launch a piece of junk at it.

[Telekinesis roll: 4]

A small metal object of uncertain origin is launched at the cat and hits it right in its impertinent hindquarters. The cat, thus punished, yelps and opts to make an exit before further humiliation is visited upon its humble form. Darren draws great delight from its escape, then leaves. Where exactly, not even he knows.

[Destination roll: 5]

He spots something interesting in the distance, slightly outside the town. It looks like a temple. Judging by all the skulls, bones and black marble, it is probably dedicated to Velusius, God of Death and Magic, the Odd One of the Five. It looks rather striking, to tell the truth.


Inside the blacksmith's shop...

Luke, not very good at taking rejection from a lady, tries to conspire some more!

"He's not my ally, he soul-bounded me or something, please, you're my only hope, I can tell you where he's hidden!"

[Fire Lady reaction roll: 3]

"Ugh, will you give it a rest? I'm not killing him! Well, not yet, anyway. I suppose I-"

[Tom vs. Fire Lady: 6+2 vs. 5-1]

She doesn't get to finish her sentence due to a blade suddenly slicing across her neck, nearly chopping her head off and killing her instantly! As her corpse falls to the ground, Tom lifts up a skeletal hand for a high five to celebrate his and Luke's teamwork. Luke briefly contemplates whether to leave him hanging.

[Onyxjew944]

'Good show! Now I wonder what she was carrying...

Proceed to wait for high-fivery. Regardless of whether that succeeds, commence gentlemen-ly looting!

[anailater]

"Eh we'll maybe we'll get recognition from mage douche for this, hi five!
Hi- five, take body to Burnie, look for hammer again.

[Harry Baldman]

In a blacksmith's shop...

As Tom holds his skeletal hand up, flush with the joy of sudden murder, Luke decides that what the hell, he'll reciprocate. He gives his skeletal buddy a high-five. The two adventurers then proceed to divide the duties fairly between themselves - Tom does the looting, Luke does the corpse-lugging.

[Tom looting roll: 2]

The dead lady, sadly, has nothing too valuable on her aside from a book with boring fire magic spells in it. Tom is clearly above such boring methods of killing and picks the book up, then disdainfully throws it out a different window than the hammer.

[Luke strength roll: 4+1]

Luke, meanwhile, picks up the lady's corpse and solemnly carries it back to Bernie, then presents it.

"Mages are here already? Well, shit. I suppose you'll have to be more careful, then."

Luke looks at Bernie expectantly.

"What, do you want a medal? Kill 20 more and then we can talk. There's going to be, like, hundreds of these assholes around."

Luke sighs, then goes back to find a hammer. If only he had a hammer.

[Search roll: 3]

He finds his trusty hammer back where he left it, which is to say on a bed of glass shards outside the smithy. Better be careful where he throws that. Somebody could have gotten hurt, you know.

A Quest for wood 2: The hardening Searchening.

[killerhellhound]

Look for some armor and wepoens in the smith mabye a broadsword and some platemail

[Firelordsky]

Continue to swoop down on them as they run.

[Spinal_Taper]

Go in. Look for doohickeys and armor suits and other vaguely human looking things. Oh yeah, and demons and mages and stuff.

[Onyxjew944]

Try to find a tannery, preferably without finding any more magi.

"Oh, just as well. I would most likely have killed her with or without a vaguely implied order to do so. She was a very uncouth and boring person. Can't too many of have them around."
