In a house in Emlocke...
Luke keeps the happy blasphemy ball rolling with yet more inflammatory proclamations directed at the gods.
~SO YOU GODS THINK YOU CAN PLAY DICE GAMES WITH MY FATE? NO LONGER AM I BOUND BY YOUR RULES!~
He attempts to transcend something. It's what nascent gods are supposed to do or something, right?
[Intelligence roll: ?]
Shouldn't be too difficult. It's probably all a question of MORE POWER, as usual.
[Pink magic roll: 6-1]
He devotes all the power he has to stop the shrinking process, then gives it a little more! Hah! He is no longer shrinking! He has transcended momentary destruction!
Well, that's great, he supposes. Not being entirely dead feels kinda good and all. However, Luke does not quite feel up to beating up a god or anything just yet. He isn't even sure gods even have proper asses to kick, really. Or what good would it do to kick them, either. But in case he wants to, anyway, he is pretty sure he heard something about transcendence in one of the deeper corners of his mind. It's certainly an option, he believes.
In the streets of Emlocke...
Tom, now in the possession of a functional hand and sort-of functional legs, attempts to find a butcher shop in the area!
[Search roll: 3]
No such thing that he can see, unfortunately. However, there is a taxidermist's around here, judging by all the stuffed animals visible from the window.
Unfortunately, his musings on the contents of the shop are quite rudely interrupted by that ridiculous one-legged skeleton grabbing him and attempting to drag him back to the place where the octopus was so hideously murdered!
[Mark strength roll: 1]
Mark grabs and pulls Tom from behind in an attempt to take him by surprise! Tom, still somewhat unsteady on his improvised legs, responds by falling right onto the skeletal medicine enthusiast, then getting up and shaking his skull disapprovingly. Tom then goes about his business as Mark lies around in a generally humiliating fashion.
Inside a well-secured house...
Darren, suddenly conscious of his mission, starts to look harder for that silly guy he's supposed to scare off.
[Search roll: 3]
Okay, so he's most decidedly not on the second floor. And Darren's latest venture has proven that nobody's in the attic, either. So he has to be on the first floor. He floats downstairs and looks around. Nobody in immediate sight.
[Darren perception roll: ?]
And nobody around that he can hear. How mysterious.
