[Spinal_Taper]

"Oh. Give me a second, guys."
Ghost to the other side and unlock it. If there isn't a lever or something of the like, try and use telekinesis to manipulate the tumblers.

[Harry Baldman]

Inside a metal house...

Darren, not even missing a beat, gets to unlocking the door right away with telekinesis! And he does all this from the outside of the house!

[Telekinetic lockpicking roll: 4]

It takes him a few minutes and a lot of intense concentration, but the door is completely and utterly unlocked in due time!

"Um, not that that wasn't impressive, but maybe you could've just gone downstairs and asked the guy to unlock it?"

Well, yeah, he could have, but it's just way cooler this way.

[Onyxjew944]

Ponder the crystals. Meanwhile try to light the other districts on fire.

[Harry Baldman]

In the streets of Emlocke...

Tom spends a moment pondering the crystals he carries with him and their particular brand of glowiness.

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Well, considering that it started to glow when he was attempting to break off a piece back in the caves and right now when it was near a whole lot of heat being given off by an entire district of the town going up in flames, he would have to say it probably reacts to energy directed at it or into it. Since the glow gets brighter and brighter from more energy and slowly subsides afterwards, it is entirely plausible that it would have some point where it could store no more.

One might ask, what happens then? Well, Tom is of the opinion that there is only one way to find out - try it. Though there is also other urgent business to attend to. Such as burning.

Upon looking at the brick houses in one neighborhood, Tom realizes that he can't really burn them down - sure, he can try to set fire to their interiors, and he'd probably ruin some carpets and furniture this way as well as any stray books and other flammable things, but this is hardly practical for one of such sheer mass-destructive ambitions as Tom. For one, he'd have to set fire to each individual house, of which there are assuredly many, and that would take freaking forever. Secondly, there still aren't any people around to scream in terrible pain for the effort to be worth it. All in all, for a pyromaniac, the situation is indeed grim.

[Tomcost]

((He rolled a five in intelligence, right?))

[Harry Baldman]

No, he actually rolled a one and all the information he has received is completely and utterly false. Or he rolled a six and came to some hasty deductions that seemed entirely reasonable at the time.

[miauw62]

((I'm guessing six. Because for this RTD exploding crystals seem totally plausible.))

[Onyxjew944]

((Hmm, so how does one go about accessing these energy reserves...))

Search around the upper-class houses for interesting goodies. Interesting being defined as 'able to in some way cause destruction or inordinate amounts of ridiculous awesome.'

[Xantalos]

((Hmm, so how does one go about accessing these energy reserves...))

Search around the upper-class houses for interesting goodies. Interesting being defined as 'able to in some way cause destruction or inordinate amounts of ridiculous awesome.'

((They're grenades when exposed to enough energy.))

[Onyxjew944]

((So, what you're saying is...

I should go into that crystal cave...

Start a huge bonfire...

Let the crystals near the entrance absorb radical amounts of energy...

And start a chain reaction destroying the underground cave system and possibly killing everyone in the area through the seismic backlash!

Let's do this.))

[Harry Baldman]

In the streets of Emlocke...

Tom takes a walk around the neighborhood and searches for fun things. Explosive, flammable, inexplicable or otherwise amazing fun things!

[Search roll: 4]

Well, he does see one particularly opulent house. It looks fairly mystical, therefore likely to contain strange artifacts that may be of use to an engine of destruction cleverly disguised as a mockery of a human being!

[House lack of security roll: 4]

And it's got an open window on the ground floor. Almost too good to be true, really.

And it really is - most of the house has been ransacked almost entirely. Blasted mages and their sticky fingers. Leave something for the people who can't alter reality on a whim, will ya? His search does eventually turn up something - a glass flask in the shape of a human skull filled with a silvery liquid hidden in a particularly fiendish cupboard. Not much, but it's something, at least.

[Spinal_Taper]

"Well, what if he was dead? Or what if the murderer was down there?"
Onwards

[killerhellhound]

so I have a ghost who I thought was a player and a pyro who I thought was tom?
so I carnt get other players to follow me damm
anyway send everyone else forward first and prepare to defend my self

[miauw62]

((I figured the crystals out! You rolled a 1! They're soul crystals, like in the elder scrolls. They glowed in the cave because you killed that lady, and Harry noted that you killed someone by burning those houses down. Ergo, they store souls. How to get them out tough...))

[Harry Baldman]

In a bloody square...

Since snakes are hardly his specialty, Mark withdraws from immediate combat and sends his buddies forward first!

[Ghost Dude telekinesis roll: 4]

The ghost dude lifts up a snake with the power of his mind and chucks it away into the distance, making it land on a nearby roof!

[Snake 1 recovery roll: 2]

The snake looks to be too scared of heights to come down. Heh.

Meanwhile, the four Gofites engage another snake in honorable melee combat!

[Gofites vs. Snake 2: 4+3 vs. 3+1]

They grab it by the head and tail, then start beating it up with their armored gauntlets! This, naturally, makes the snake quite disoriented. As they do so, the pyromaniac weirdo strikes up a conversation with a particular snake!

"So, you come here often?"

[Snake 3 will roll: 1]

The metal snake is completely paralyzed by his advances! Oh my!

[Snake 4 vs. Gofites: 6+1 vs. 4+3]

Another snake tries to strangle a Gofite, but finds it awfully impractical, considering how armored the Gofites are!

[Snake 5 vs. Pyromaniac Weirdo: 6+1 vs. 3]

A different snake, however, is highly successful in removing the pyromaniac weirdo's legs rather violently!

The four other snakes attempt a bravely coordinated attack on Mark!

[Snakes 6-9 vs. Mark: 6+3 vs. 6+2+1]

They try to surprise him, but Mark's too fast! He successfully fends off the four snakes, managing to prevent them from causing any damage!


In a metallic house...

Darren, upon thinking over the implications of going down to the basement, replies concisely.

"Well, what if he was dead? Or what if the murderer was down there?"

"Damn, good point, dude! Better skedaddle!"

And they do, walking past the empty square full of blood and gore. Hm, where to go now.
