Yay 20 Turn anniversary! Also: Overshoots are much more satisfying to write.
Turn 20heal toaster
| You take a look at Toaster's ankle and finally, you succeed with your telekinetic healing ability. You reassemble the tissue to ist normal state. You feel much more confident in your skills now.
Chuck the hammer through the weapon store window (which it has one, I hope) and find a beter weapon.
| You swing your warhammer, as mighty as Thor himself, take aim and throw it at the main window of the weapon shop. It crashes loudly as the hammer is hardly slowed down by the glass, leaving a hammer-shaped hole in it before the glass spiderwebs and most of the pieces fall to the ground, making even more noise. The hammer flies further in an almost straight line and destroys two wooden weapon racks in its path, littering their contents on the floor, before it embeds itself in the back wall of the shop. If the shop owner was at home and asleep, NOW he surely isn't asleep anymore.
cast a spell of healing at my ankle, unless someone else heals me. Otherwise, go loot the weapon shop through the broken window, looking for something light (mace, short sword, etc).
| You cautiously put your weight on your other foot, but the pain is gone. You thank Ochita for the heal and crawl through the freshly opened window
| again injuring yourself in the process on jagged glass edges. The cuts you suffer are not deep though, but your shirt now has some extra holes in it.
I go in shadows to the hamerite building and look for a good place to blow up the hamerite building with one bomb
| You walk over to the mysterious all steel building on the side of the street. You hear humming and clanking of some machinery and follow this sound around a corner. There you see a small window overhead that is barricaded with iron bars. You take one of your gunpowder bombs and try to fit it through those bars. It goes just through and you cautiously lower your surprise into the room behind holding it by the fuse. You feel more competent with handling explosives, now you just need something to light the fuse on fire.
Meld into the shadows and begin sneaking towards the eye.
| You leave the scene and sneak in the shadows towards the great hammerite cathedral. The majestic building is towering high in front of you, but you are hardly impressed and continue on. You avoid the front entrance and search for a weak point in the wall surrounding the whole complex. Suddenly you have an idea: You sneak back into the main street and start hauling boxes toward a particular dark corner near the wall.
| After you have assembled a nice stack, you easily climb over the wall and
| land safely and in the dark cathedral cemetery without even making the tiniest noise.
Sneak around and follow Frelock towards this eye thingy
| You decide to follow Frelock and as he starts assembling boxes and crates to a tower, you help him doing so.
| You climb right after him, although you take your time and
| land right next to him in the cemetery on the other side of the wall.
learn how to constently read thoughts thus knowing exactly how to defend against attacks having read the enemies mind
| You read the thoughts of those around you, but since noone is intending to attack you, you cannot gain any predictions about harmful intentions. Thus the excercise is in vain.
look arround again for a weapon of some description, preferable of the ranged variety
| There are enough weapons in the store, but seeing how Toaster got injured right again by the sharp window remains, you decide to wait for him to open the front door from the inside instead of climbing right after him.

Locations:
Side street: A small street branching out from the main street. The walls of the neighboring houses are made from rough stone, reinforced by steel girders. Your exit is here.
Main street: A market street, devoid of people but crowded with crates and wagons. There are several shops here: An armor shop, a clothing store, a bakery, an alchemy store, a weapon store and possibly more.
Clothes shop: This two story building contains a shop selling high quality clothing. The inside is unlit. The side window on the ground floor is open.
Weapon shop: This two story building houses a weapon shop. There is an open window on the backside, 1st floor. A pile of shirts is nearby as well as, the top half of another warhammer, one dead hammerite paladin and 3 unconscious ones. The front window is broken.
Guardhouse: A small office for the city watch. Contains a cell and two beds for the guards.
Tavern: A big building right next to the bridge and the guardhouse.
Cathedral: The Hammerite cathedral proudly presents a new relic: A mysterious gemstone called "The Eye". The front gate is watched by 2 hammerite guards, a paladin and a bowman. It is surrounded by a wall (some crates stacked against from the outside) and accompanied by a cemetery and various other buildings that are part of a larger complex.
Cathedral street: This street lies parallel to the main street and leads to the cathedral, too. One hammerite paladin patrols there somewhere.
Alchemy store: This shop is accompanied by a small, walled off herbal garden. It lies exactly between the main street and Cathedral street.
Hammerite building: A building only 1 story high but with walls of steel. Humming noise coming from inside, probably from machinery.

Background: [2] You fail to spot anything of interest.
=====
I think it might be helpful to recap the lore for a second:
The eye is some sort of gemstone, probably cursed, that knows levitation and has the unnerving habit of teleporting itself at will and was thus encased in a reliquary and magically warded by the hammerite priesthood right over the high altar of the cathedral.
Oh, and please check your statuses...
