Well fuck. Time to start regenerating so I can do orders again...
Leave the presence of the toxistick.
You wander away from the poison stabby stick over toward the south and away from the now raging metal bear.
Grab rock, do stuff.
You run down stairs and snatch up the late Grin's staff as the Heavy metal bear tears shit up near by.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WORKED!
Add two points to channeling, a point to endurance, and a point to potency.
Stuff
You would do that stuff you were gonna do but it turns out that when you blew the head off of Grin you kind of piss off his giant metal bear. And this is a bad thing.
The Bear leaps over to you, landing with a thud that shakes the ground beneath your feet and attempts to bite off the top 2/3rds of your body.

[Bear dex:3]
You flop down on your stomach as fangs bigger then your arm scythe overhead.
"What the hell? Where am... NO FUCKING WAY! I'm in Perplexicon! Which means that the grimoire I bought at that convention... 'Property of Ferin Lepus Hydrus Larry'! This isn't just an imitation of Hydrus' grimoire. It IS Hydrus' grimoire! Oh, man, my friends are gonna be so jealous... they can probably see me on the TV now! Hey, Jackson, go and get Mom and Dad and tell them that I'm on TV! Now, how the hell do I get down from here? Aww man, this is so damn cool! And... HELL YEAH! Jackson, if you're still there, get those two thousand dollars ready! You'll never make a bet jokingly ever again!"
Climb down from the pillar and head to the north stairs. If anyone attacks me, spaz out and punch them in the throat.
You clamber down the pillar and run on over to the north stairs. All looks fine so far, no spaz throat punches.
"So, this is happening right now. Brilliant. And here's a book of some kind. Full of gibberish, too."
Stroll around and take inventory of all the things in the area.
On the third floor looks like there's a lot of nothing going on. No objects, no people, no murder. It's snores-ville daddio.
Well, at least it's not bleeding internally any more.
Not what I wanted! "Gee, if you wanted to play with me, why'd you block me in here?"
Will my left arm via staff to become not mangled and not useless. Sneak out the top around to the north stairs.
[will:3+2]
Your left arm jerks and twists and snaps back into place. You wiggle your electric fingers and grin. That helps.
[dex:4+2]
You commando crawl around on the second floor until you reach the north stairs.
"I would have thought stone wouldn't stop you." Null shouts, still looking at the other stairs, "But perhaps I need to give you some incentive to get serious."
[Null pot:2+3]
His right arm glows for a moment and points of fire begin appearing all around him. They swell and darken, reforming and changing until over a dozen large crows or ravens are flying in a tight circle around him. Trails of fire burn behind their wings and each bird seems to glow like a furnace behind their black feathers. The birds fly in a swarm, away from him and over to the east stairs. They dart down into the stairwell and then come back up, squawking.
Null spins to face the north stairs As the birds charge toward you, a black cloud of fire and feathers.
