MAGIC"I say we stay here for a bit longer... Just to see if there's anything else interesting in here. But when that's done, we should move on." Zathyran said to the large Knight, before slowly closing his book and standing up to continue searching.
*puts on cape* Oh i finally have an cloak, YES! oh and you wanna stay here or take the next room?"
WEAR THE HAT! NOTHING BAD CAN COME FROM THIS!
Continue searching for valuable (though preferably useful) literature!
SCIENCEFriar Greenmore peruses the bookcase, then pokes through the fireplace with his mace, and finally opens the cabinet.
Search the Room!
Steel myself, pushing the fear away, place my hand on the whip and push forward and regroup with the others
Zathyran and Malleus spoke quietly for a moment as the magician finished his book. He closed it with a quiet thump and left it on the table while he resumed his search. Claire was not done looting yet either! (Z: 1-1 Repeat Search. M: 4+1-1 Repeat Search. I assume Malleus is searching, anyway... C: 4-1 Repeat Search.) Zathyran promptly tripped and went right through a table, breaking it in half and raising a cloud of dust and woodchips. Malleus, distracted by the noise, walked over and gave him a hand up. The pirate was undeterred however and, after poking through one of the desks, came up with a bag o' gold! This went into an inside pocket of her coat. Across the way, Pierre decided 'screw it' and removed his current hat in favor of the witch hat...
And promptly had to lean on the wall for balance as he underwent a magic-based change in his physiology.
Within mere moments, where the fabulous French mercenary stood, was now a rather attractive French witch! No one could quite believe it... especially not Pierre, who had an expression something like o.O as he looked down at himself. Taking the hat back off reverted him to normal, but he decided to put it back on for the moment. Why not, right? (Witch's hat: When wearing this, Pierre becomes a witch! While his HP, MP, and skills/evos remain the same, he doesn't use his normal equipment. Instead he uses a Broom (+1 Acc/+1 Dam) for physical attacks and his subweapons are Magic Book: Light Lv1 and a healing spell. The healing spell takes 2 MP and heals for 1d8. Finally, every skill and evo he has that targets female enemies now instead targets males.)
Meanwhile, in the Tower of Science, Frenz re-entered, sparing a glimpse towards Wymar's corpse. Thankfully, it was still present, and he moved towards the door he had last seen the friar enter. Inside, Biernat and Greenmoore were tearing the place apart. (G: 6. B: 8.) The bookcase was of slight interest to Greenmoore, but truthfully it would have been more relevant to his daughter. He was a man of faith, not science. He saw nothing worth keeping and turned his attention to the fireplace, using his mace to sift through the ashes. It looked like someone had been burning books, or at least pages, here recently. There was also a familiar smell he couldn't quite place; it was somewhat pleasant, but distracted him trying to remember it. Finally, he turned to the cabinet and opened it. It appeared to be a wine cabinet, mostly, but tucked among them was a vial of sulfuric acid. What was it there for? Regardless, the friar pocketed it. (Sulfuric Acid does 1d8+2 physical damage when used and has to beat a movement roll to hit.) Finally, Biernat was conducting his own search by lifting up the furniture and looking under it. Apparently someone had let an oddly-shaped stone roll under one of the couches, and he picked it up. (Biernat gets: Odd stone! He doesn't know what it does.)
Frenz walked in the door and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a loud thump from the fireplace. Placing a hand on his whip, he took a step forward to see what it was... and it turned out to be a dead body, rotted through, with a few parts replaced by mechanical ones. Another fell from above onto it and both rolled out of the fireplace. Hearing a groan behind him, Frenz turned and saw a third corpse blocking the door as it staggered towards them... and as if activated by the sound, the other two began to stand as well!
