In Emlocke...

Mark runs along back to the Artiste to report of any recent happenings that have... happened. Yeah. He gets back to the house.

Well, at least he thinks it's the same house. Hard to tell, what with it now being some kind of spacewarped ivory-colored tower that menaces the surrounding area with the sheer improbability of its construction and location. The address is the correct one, at least. But there's no entrance in immediate sight. How is Mark supposed to get in?

"Hullo, there. Are you sentient?"

Approach the bear. If it can't talk, kill it.

Outside an odd tower...

Mark walks up to the tower and knocks politely.

[Response roll: 2]

Nobody seems particularly eager to respond to him. Probably because he's so low to the ground, while the Artiste is probably at the top. That is, unless he is a non-traditionalist. In that case, perhaps the top of the tower is simply trapped. Well, better write up a note, then.

[Writing roll: 3]

Found one minion. Dead. Don't know where the rest are.

Simple, but effective, he thinks.


Over a pit of death and darkness...

Tom walks up to the bear and asks a perfectly reasonable question.

"Hullo, there. Are you sentient?"

The bear turns to him, black fluid seeping from its jet black eyes and open mouth, strange black tendrils reaching toward Tom from its stomach. It replies immediately in quite a pleasant voice.

"Why, yes. Yes, I am. Did you have a question? Or is it something else you wanted? Don't be shy, I'm all ears."

Some of the tendrils reshape themselves into open horns to accentuate the bear's point.

((I think I'm proud to say that I have been faithfully watching this game since my character died! And to think, Jordan was the second last of the original characters to finally die. He was only outlived by the glory that is Samuel/Samucane/Samuskull.
((SHould you not sign up again, chap? I would think we could use another Jordan.))

Oh, why not?

Name: Alec and Alice McMasterson
Gender: Male AND Female
Archetype: Zombie?
Biography: Alec and Alice were a pair of delightful young twins, born to a lovely pair of parents, Adrian and Beth McMasterson. They lived in a glorious Victorian-Era mansion, as one of those picturesque families you see in Coffee-Table books. However, they weren't as cute and innocent as they might have seemed. They were constantly pulling pranks around the house. The parents thought it was cute, and let them keep doing it. That is, until they managed to kill the dog. The parents, being the naïve pair that they were, considered it an unfortunate accident. They got another one, and went on with their business. However, at this point, the twins had turned their sights on their own parents. They felt...constricted. They wanted freedom from curfews, and vegetables, and grounding. So they decided to do something about it. It started out with a few unsuccessful attempts, such as kicking a chair out from under their father while he was changing a lightbulb, and littering the stairs with toys while their mother was collecting the fine china from her room. They finally found their method of madness in the basement while getting food for their dog. A box of Rat Poison. Alice went out to distract the dog and make it bark, so Alec could pour the poison into the nightly Soup while their mother was busy attending to the dog. They felt the plan was foolproof. But they forgot one tiny detail...
They had to eat dinner too.
You know what they say, 'The family that Dines together, DIES together.'

The parents were buried by the local undertaker next to the house, in separate graves. The children were buried at the cemetery, by the parents' will.

((This good enough? 1 Billion Interweb points if you get the reference.))

Outside a tall ivory tower of probable doom...

Mark, not one to take a cold shoulder lying down, begins to whack the side of the tower with his shovel!

[Tower damage roll: 5]

It is not even scratched by the shovel. Whatever the tower's made of, it's hard. Really hard.

[Response roll: 1]
[Mark dodge roll: 4+1]

Mark narrowly dodges a sign falling down from up top! It appears to be made of metal and possesses sharpened edges! As it falls down, it embeds itself in the ground. The lettering on it is a bit hard to read, but the intent is clear - "NO SOLICITORS".

Hm, that's a bit weird. How is he supposed to... wait. Mark has forgotten something! Something crucial!

He takes out his explanation note and adds the essential missing detail.

PS: got eaten as well.

Perfect! Now, where was he?
