Turn 29Wake up, collect the warhammer, and check out my surroundings.
| That hammer hit you so hard, you see stars in your dreams. You don't manage to collect your thoughts and wake yourself.
I run to the cathedral an hide in the mob
| The pain is agonizing. You barely manage to stand, supporting your weight on the axe. Even just the thought of walking makes you sick.
Wait for the priest to have his back to me and smack him with my hammer. If I take him out I research the requilary some more
| The priest does have his back to you, but before you can follow him and get in range, he darts off and is gone through one of the side entrances.
| You stand at the lectern again, but the scripture evades your attempts to understand it with a flurry of artfully arranged serifs and ancient english vocabulary.
activate haste and improve my sight with tk then I go to tha citadel with my zombie
| You haste yourself to get all these tasks done, but neither have you any idea, how to apply telekinesis to your eyesight, without risking to pop them out of their sockets, nor do you get the zombie to move along with you. Thus you remain where you stand.
Find a way inside to the eye chamber
| And by "eye chamber" you mean: cathedral. However, the walls of the cathedral look climbable, but you do not have the courage to scale it. The front door is still locked from inside and the mob is blocking it from the outside.
| Also, dodging a stray arrow fired from above in your direction seemed more important at the time.
Ready my dagger as a throwing knife should the priest show his face.
| You fasten your grip on your dagger, but the priest does not look behind the altar. Instead he turns to the side entrance and runs away. You think of throwing your dagger at his back, but until you manage to stand up, he is already gone.
Keep pushing towards the Mob and yell "Some of you get tools to knock the door down, the rest, ORGANISE YOUR SELVES!
| You stay where you are and take a deep breath. All that shouting was really exhausting.
Grab some of the spines ive shed(throwing them could be effective ranged), and find the group, if i still have time try to figgure out what the frick my new eyes do
| You run back to the ruined power house, collect a few of your spines and return to the cathedral entrance all in under 3 minutes. Wow, you should sign up for the mutant olympics.
| However, you have no clue what other capabilities your eyes have.

NPCs:
Zombie: [2] The zombie just stands there next to jozilla, staring with empty eyes right through him to some point in the distance.
Angry mob: [2] They still bang on the doors without coordinated effort and without proper tools. The peasants in the cemetery run away from the explosion and the furious hammerites. Without their leader, they are scattered and freightened and asking themselves in what mess they managed to get themselves.
More Hammerites: [5] They are thoroughly shocked, but quickly regain their wit and start chasing after the peasants in their cemetery.
Priest2: [3] He runs away and out of sight.
Paladin 1: [Auto: 2] Well, neither the zombie, nor jozilla move in for the kill. He stays unconscious.
Paladin 2: [1, attacker: 5] Having disarmed his enemy is not doing him much good. He is strangled to death with bare hands.
Bowman 1: [6] He starts firing shots at the crowd in front of the cathedral entrance. [crowd dodge: 3] He aims randomly and only scores a few hits into arms and legs. One arrow goes into the direction of Ochita, but he dodges in time.
===
Environment:
The fire is gone, the armory is, too. The dust envelops the cemetery and only settles slowly.

=====
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 inside: The reliquary is suspended in the air by two chains and flanked by two giant, menacing statues, each raising a hammer.
Armory: The armory... is no more.
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 generator building: A building only 1 story high but with walls of steel. Wrecked on the inside, door and barred window are lying on the street. The outside is intact except for some scorchmarks where the window used to be.
=====
Background: [6] The noise of incoming angry hammerite fanatic troops intensifies. They prepare to storm the cemetery and the cathedral!
=====
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.
