Outside the blacksmith's shop of Emlocke...Luke, now possessing both a hammer and some nails, realizes that he really needs to get some wood! It is, after all, absolutely integral to his plans. He proceeds to look again, but harder this time!
[Search roll: 6]
He sees something off in the distance! It looks to be made of wood, and it is shaped very much like a tower! It also seems to be moving toward the village. Looks like he won't even need to go out to get it! What luck!
Inside the luxury inn inhabited by Bernie...Not ones to be left behind by their compatriots,
Mark and the enigmatic
Yorinnsud go out as well, united in their purpose to loot the smithy! They follow the trail of Luke and get there in no time, then proceed to patronize the establishment in a most adventurer-like manner. That is to say, they immediately engage in the twin joys of pillage and disrespect for personal property.
[Mark search roll: 3]
Mark's nonexistent eye is caught by the sight of a few nice-looking daggers lying around the area. There's also a steel shaft, probably part of an incomplete weapon, lying near the forge.
Yorinnsud, meanwhile, tries to repair his blade in the forge!
[Smithing skill roll: 3]
He tries heating it up, then hammering on it a bit, but it doesn't work particularly well. His sword does look slightly shinier now, though its chopping abilities remain rather questionable.
As the new wave of adventurers arrives at the forge,
Tom shakes his head and leaves to find a tannery of some kind! After all, you can't be a proper warrior without some leather to go with the whole "I have a large sword and I'm itching to use it to achieve personal gain" look.
[Search roll: 5]
It turns out the tannery is quite close by, and it still seems to have various leather things lying around in it. The servi were probably removed in a hurry, considering the sheer amount of things lying around. Well, their loss, Tom supposes.
Outside a Temple of Velusius...Not particularly bothered by the rather strange temple before him,
Darren goes right in to look for cool stuff!
[Search roll: 6]
After entering, he hears a heavy door close somewhere within the temple! Somebody else around, maybe? Time to investigate! He heads over to where he heard the sound and, right as rain, finds an elaborately decorated steel door covered in skull and bone reliefs. He briefly considers how best to open this door, but then remembers that he can just phase through things, what with being a ghost and all. He takes a look inside.
Where to start. Well, firstly, the door is about two feet thick. Secondly, the walls around it are thicker. Thirdly, inside there is more treasure than Darren has ever seen in his life - vast amounts of gold, jewelry, elaborate weaponry, armor and many other things are lying around in the area beyond the door, obviously a treasure chamber. Lastly, it seems that another guy knows this as well, being inside the room and currently helping himself to generous handfuls of interesting things.
[Perception roll: ?]
Judging from the fact that he's wearing a robe, Darren wagers that the plunderer wields some kind of magic, though he isn't entirely certain what kind exactly.
In the screaming villager-infested woods...Vincent, not entirely discouraged by his previous failure, tries to fly up and go for another swoop!
[Swoop roll: 5]
He takes off, soars high above the woods, then performs a very impressive-looking aerial charge down from the sky like a bony angel of perhaps not-so-righteous vengeance and terror. An angel of Velusius, then.
[Vincent vs. Villagers: 4+1+
1] vs. 2+1-1]
Swinging his staff in a wide arc and enjoying the additional force from his charge, Vincent hits the chief, not so much bashing his skull in as making it forcefully explode and endanger three other villagers with bloody, bony shrapnel.
[Villager 1 dodge roll: 5]
[Villager 2 dodge roll: 5]
[Villager 3 dodge roll: 3]
Only one of the villagers is hurt to a significant degree, getting hit with several pieces of bone in the chest while the rest only get mildly grazed! The hit villager falls down, but immediately tries to get back up!
[Villager morale roll: 3]
One of the villagers stops in her tracks and runs over to mourn over the corpse of the chief while the remaining five resume running!
[Vincent swoop roll: 1]
He goes for another swoop, rising far above the woods, then flying down in a graceful arc! Well, except for the whole "graceful arc" part. He just flies down. Straight down.
[Vincent fall damage roll: 4+1]
Fortunately, he remembers that he does have wings and uses them to slow his fall to a very manageable velocity, landing remarkably softly! Guess he should be more careful with that kind of thing.
They guy who got hit by a cart and was raised from the dead by his spouse, for evil spousal things that conflicted with his rotting zombie nature. 
Like I said, I lost interest even after posting it. I applied on a whim after all,with no real thought or effort.
I tend to be very awkward like that. I prefer watching.
So, do you want to be on the waitlist or not? You'd be first if you did, since you applied before miauw and Xantalos.
Also, if anyone else thinks they should be on the waitlist, remind me, please.
