Inside a cave of some kind...Mark tries to pull out one of the crystals in the ground, giving it a mighty tug!
[Mark strength roll: 1]
He tries his very hardest, pulling as intently as a skeleton with a tree for a head possibly could, which is quite intently indeed! However, the crystal remains steadfastly secured to the ground. Guess he'll have to leave now, defeated, his tree-head hung low. His spirit crushed, he is now destined to wander the world, reflecting on his failure.
Or he
could try to break the crystal off! Yeah! That's a great idea! He kneels down and pushes on the crystal with his metal shoulder, hoping to break off at least the top!
He is, however, interrupted by the cave ceiling, lined with stalactites mirroring the ones on the ground, falling on him suddenly! Then the ceiling rises. Then it falls again.
[Mark endurance roll: 2+
1]
This does quite a number on his body, as you may imagine, the stalactites and stalagmites deforming his metallic skeleton to a significant degree! After a few more times of that, he is seized by an armlike object and hurled deeper into the cave, where he is compressed in a very tight space that seems to be moving him along!
Outside a cave entrance...Tom attempts to burn down the tent!
[Pyromaniac destruction roll: 4]
The tent being made of canvas, this works nicely. It is soon burnt down without much issue. Now, where could the owner have gone?
[Intelligence roll: ?]
Probably inside the cave, Tom guesses. After all, why else would he or she build the tent here, right next to the entrance, then make off with any other valuable possessions that were no doubt here once upon a time?
