In a demonologist's house...

Mark, discovering the top floor to be utterly boring, heads downstairs into the basement to find some people!

The basement looks pretty spacious, actually. It is full of strange symbols drawn in what appears to be blood, two bloodless corpses sitting in the corner, one an old man, the other a fairly young fellow, and a dark-haired individual standing about and looking at a book in his hands. All the makings of a fiendish ritual, Mark thinks!

[Dude perception roll: ?]

He seems totally oblivious to Mark's presence, which is rather good, to tell the truth. He also looks to have started a chant of some kind.


In the streets of Emlocke...

Tom looks at the sordid remains of Tom for a few seconds, then heads out in search of superior armaments.

[Will roll: 6+1]

He makes sure to stop and demonstratively laugh at some intersections once in a while.

[Search roll: 3]

Well, there aren't any weapons just lying around. At least, none better than a metal rod that used to serve as an improvised leg. That thing is pretty strong, you know.


In a partying crowd...

Yorinnsud begins her jolly hunting for something. She looks at prospective donors in the crowd. Oh, there's a healthy and strong-looking one... wait, he's melting. And that lady over there... no, also melting. What about him- no, he's started to melt as well.

Damn it, it's hard to hunt for limb donors when they're all burning and melting. And all the screaming really hurts her concentration! These people sure are inconsiderate.

Mark sneaks up and breaks the chanting mans neck then closes the book with out looking at it
If he spots me run at him trying to get the book away from him.

Why, what's this kind of thinking! Surely this isn't what Mark taught her? If they have melted, that just makes the blob that remains perfect for bulking up! And even if that doesn't work, the bones would only be charred, not melted. NOW GET TO WORK!!!

In a demonologist's house...

Mark tries to sneak up to the man standing about reading!

[Mark's Stealth vs. Dude's Perception: 6-1 vs. 5]

Though the man is quite undoubtedly engaged in his task, the sound of metal feet touching the ground and leaves faintly brushing up against the ceiling is a bit of a giveaway! He looks at Mark just as the latter tries to snap the man's neck!

[Grapple: Mark vs. Dude: 1+1 vs. 4]

He easily slips out of Mark's grasp, rolling backwards and attempting some magic!

[Dude magic roll: 5+1]

Nothing happens! Ha-hah! Silly magic-user! Let Mark take that book off your hands!

[Mark agility roll: 1+1]

Mark's attempt is rudely interrupted by a staircase. The staircase he just descended from, actually! He proceeds to tumble down it in a generally noisy and unpleasant fashion, getting some of his branches caught in the steps at the end of his descent. The guy in the room seems quite amused by this.

1 hour and 50 minutes left.


In a partying crowd...

Yorinnsud, not one to be dissuaded by burning, melting and screaming, decides to loot some flesh anyway.

[Perception roll: ?]

As she reaches out one of her skeletal arms to grab a handful of goop, it looks like it starts to burn as well. That's pretty weird. And the air seems a bit... acrid here.

Pick up my old leg. Or whatever quantum mechanics would have me known as. Look for something dense.

Mark grabs a stone or something from the floor then gets up and kills the magic man, throwing the stone at him if he starts casting(what would happen to the ritual if he stops chanting? or messes up the words I wonder?)

((I read all this thread, and this game is amazing. Congratiulations for having created a new and complex world, but hilarious at the same time.
If you don't mind accepting new characters for the final chapter, I would really enjoy to be in this game.))

In the streets of Emlocke...

Tom is about to pick up the leg he is currently holding.

Well, that was easy. Suspiciously easy. He hardly had to do anything at all, actually. Now to find something dense.

[Will roll: 4+1]

You intersections can still go screw yourselves, by the way.

[Search roll: 3]

Anyhow, there are rocks around here. They're in walls and stuff. And the walls might be a bit dense as well as a result. The cobblestones look dense, too. They'd have to be. They're cobblestones, after all. And you might say that Tom himself is pretty dense. In relation to the air, of course. Not in any other obvious way.


In a literally bloody basement...

Mark's cave-tree instincts activate, causing him to look for a rock!

[Rock roll: 1]

Zero rocks around! Not a very rocky place, this basement. In fact, there is nothing at all except for the corpses, and they're a bit icky, so Mark will just hold off on chucking them for now. Since his cave-tree instincts have failed him, he goes for the next best thing - his fighting instinct. And that old thing is currently telling him to charge. So he does!

[Mark agility roll: 4+1]

This time, he does not tumble down the stairs! He remains standing at the top! Aha! Your evil plan has been foiled, mage!

[Dude magic roll: 2+1]

Nothing seems to happen that Mark can see. Then again, that's what he thought the first time as well. Hm.


In a square full of melting people...

Yorinnsud realizes that pH negative forces are at work here, and those just happen to be the exact sort of forces she does not want to deal with today! It is time to make a tactical advance directly away from the area!

She seems to be rather successful. At least, it doesn't look like anything is following her.

[Perception roll: ?]

Although it still burns a bit.

Actually, it burns quite a lot! It is definitely a very unpleasant sensation, oh yes!

((Thank you for accepting me. I'm looking foward to the final duel between the mages that are still alive. As far as it goes, it seems that the survivors are the Leather mage, the Fork mage, the transformation guys in the basement, the Magic Tunes, the guy in the metal house, and probably the mage who created that moving black tower/stickman/doom machine))

((I dunno, the Fork mage seems to be using a source of power like the Pink: disconnected from normal magic.))
