Inside a manor of some kind...

Darren, flushed with triumph, tries to write yet another song. Clearly, an album is in the making here.

[Composition roll: 5-1]

Powering through the infectious nature of his previous song, Darren composes a new piece - not quite as catchy, not quite as crowd-pleasing, not nearly as likely to become a hit with the pub crowd, but a rather lovely piece no less.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

In a stone manor of some kind...

Darren takes a look out of the house.

It looks quiet. Too quiet. Something's up around here.

Wait, did that shadow just move? And what was that sound?


Next to a mighty thunder lizard...

Since magic has failed him for the umpteenth time, Mark decides in favor of doing things the old-fashioned way - with knives and climbing!

[Climbing roll: 6+1]

Mark runs up to the lizard and starts to climb like only a metal skeleton with a tree for a head could, which is to say very fast and assisted by knives. He rapidly scales up the beast's leg, getting up to the middle of its back!

[Shaking: Thunder Lizard vs. Mark: 6 vs. 5]

The thunder lizard begins to shake so rapidly that Mark begins to lose his grip!

[Climbing roll: 6]

He keeps on climbing, though, stabbing his knives into the beast's back and getting up on its neck!

[Shaking: Thunder Lizard vs. Mark: 4 vs. 2]

The lizard smashes its head into a nearby building, causing one of Mark's hands to slip, his body flapping about in the air!

[Mark climbing roll: 6-1]

He doesn't give up, though, and recovers quickly from the trouble he finds himself in, grabbing onto the lizard fully once again. On days like this, it certainly is good to be made of metal. He climbs up the neck and gets on the back of the lizard's head, preparing to unleash stabbing death on the creature.

[Shaking: Thunder Lizard vs. Mark: 6 vs. 5]

The lizard starts to swing its head rapidly, making Mark suffer through the giant lizard equivalent of a rodeo! During this, Mark tries to get at the creature's eyes!

[Mark eye attack roll: 2-1]

Mark readies his knife and leaps toward the eye, trying to execute a somersault of knifing fury!

Unfortunately for him, the lizard is a bit too quick, throwing him upwards as he lets go and knocking him away with its head! Mark flies away sideways, moving at a great speed! He tries wind magic! It doesn't work. He tries force of will!

Mark, feeling the rush of wind disappear, looks around. He seems to have stopped mid-air. No magic, nothing. He's just... stopped. Cool, he's got superpowers now!

In the air...

Rather than question what exactly is happening here, Mark flies on to the lizard!

[Flight roll: 4]

It's not as quick as he would have hoped, but it's certainly good enough! The lizard is certainly surprised to see him flying about!

[Mark eye attack roll: 5]

Mark plunges his sword right into the creature's eye, stabbing it right out! He then repeats this process several times until the creature is rendered blind!

[Thunder Lizard vs. Mark: 5+2-2 vs. 5+2]

As the lizard waves its jaws around and shakes, Mark positions himself at a safe distance. Now the lizard will find it much harder to harm anyone!

In the air around a giant thunder lizard...

Mark tries to fly into the creature's brain and stab it to end this silliness.

[Brain attack roll: 5]

He flies into the eye of the creature, piercing through several layers of soft flesh and totally ruining its brain with a sword. The lizard twitches, then starts to fall. Mark gets out as quickly as he can and watches as the carcass of the beast falls to the ground. Yep, that thing is surely dead.

In the air above Emlocke...

Mark flies over to the tower and goes in through a conveniently-placed window. He is back in the room with the Artiste! He performs an impressive walk.

[Impressive walk roll: 4]

It doesn't look too shabby, actually! The people in the room applaud his posture and grace.

"You're simply amazing, Mark! The very best minion a man could ever ask for. You may have your cake."

The cake, made of soil and rich in plant nutrients, beckons Mark to sink his roots into it.

Inside the tower of the Artiste...

Mark sinks his roots into the cake. Yum. It's all soil-like and everything. Yeah. Feel those nutrients soaking into his root system. Feels good, man.

As Mark gorges on the cake, he is tapped on the shoulder by the Artiste.

"Enjoy your cake, Mark. After that, I think we'll all be hitting the sack. It's been a long day. You should rest, too."

You know, come to think of it, he is feeling kinda tired. He'd yawn if he had a mouth.
