((Five points between both categories or five points for each category?))
"Right, so, wyrm's gone, people. Like, totally."
Possibly partial level-up: +1 Guns, +4 Adept Magic, +1 Agility, +4 Mind. Extend mind toward the orange things, try to determine their properties.
You extend your mind towards them. Even from a distance, you can feel their power. [adept=4+1] You feel traces of evil on the surface, but it is not the artifact itself that is evil, more like it was handled by an evil person. You can't seem to penetrate the artifact's surface, but it feels as if there is an entity struggling inside.
As you pull back your senses and regain the use of your eyes, you see that the cubes are glowing much more strongly now. It seems you've activated them, somehow.
Harvey takes the rock and hugs it like a baby.
"ROCKYYYYYYYYY. I name you rocky the rock!!!!"
(( I have big plans for my pal rocky.
Go look inside the church, see if the way down is intact.
(( We still need the artifact right? ))
((Level up: Agilty +3, Mind +2, Guns +2, Adept Magic +3))
Eleanor pulled herself slowly to her feet still visibly shaken from what had just happened. A smile formed on her face however as she looked around, they had done it they were still alive. She barely noticed Harvey's crazy ranting as she just felt so happy to be alive. Her smile faded though as she laid eyes on the church, they still had a job to do. Finding the artefact and even though it didn't seem that hopeful now try and find that poor girl's mother as well.
Eleanor retrived her gun and then headed into the church with Harvey
You both head towards the church, passing the now strongly glowing cubes on your way. Once there, you see that there isn't much left of the church but a pile of rubble. Two explosions and a giant worm monster will do that to ancient architecture. Getting to the hatch would take ages of clearing rubble.
((Level up: Mind+5, Elemental Magic+5, and do I get to choose a new element now or later? Because if now I'll choose Earth. [I want to add stoneskin-type things to my transformations 
]))
"I like him better." she says simply, giving Harvey a long and creeped-out look as he hugs his rock. Looking up at her new guard, she shrugs. He seems a bit more stable and less likely to break out in moleman fits or name his weapons, and stability is what this whole place lacked.
((The former CAT TORTURER is considered the most stable member of the team?? Fuckbiscuits))
Terry un-fleshblobs himself and then turns to ask Lilia if she still has that key she grabbed.
"I'm pretty sure that key was for that mansion place. Y'know the one with the walls that shifted? Could contain our artifact, seeing as its pretty much impossible to get into without the key."
You unblob, and pester people for the key. You do not get said key. This makes you sad.
LEVEL UP! +1 to Mind, +2 to Endurance, +2 to Perception. +5 to Adept Magic.
Lilia could no longer decide if Harvey was polite, a jerk, insane, childish, or simply completely and utterly unpredictable and she was tired of trying to figure it out. This seems to shake her a bit from her apathy and she makes the conscious decision to hang around by Terry.

Without another word, Lilia seems to assimilate with Terry's shadow. If he goes into the church, she'll quietly follow. If he makes a protest, she'll tag after him anyway. As much as separating from the entire group would appeal since everyone acts mostly crazy, the incident with the bloated key corpse suggested that solo missions weren't the best way to preserve oneself, and suicide wasn't first on her agenda yet.
You follow Terry, pestering people for a key. He does not get his key. You are fine with this.
The cubes are now sitting there, pulsating with an orange light.
The spectres seem to departing. Many go to a certain place or have a brief chat with a fellow spectre. Then they just vanish.
((@patrick. Yes, If level ups continue'd like this it would stack up rather fast. However, enemies will be becoming stronger and the next levelup will have less points. Diminishing returns, if you will. Also, I may have looked over it, but I didn't find your levelup?))
