[OREOSOME]

Use Expeditious Retreat to escape the statue! That or try to fight the statue, but
Only if he gets too close.

[Caerwyn]

Sam's going to ask people where the king is.

[Greenstarfanatic]

URGH. Keep trying! Use a little more force if necessary!

[Harry Baldman]

On the road to Bernie's...

Alaric tries to run as fast as possible to escape the homicidal piece of granite!

[Escape roll: 3]

He runs and he attempts to hide, but the statue is quickly gaining on him!

"DON'T RUN. IT'LL HURT MORE."

Spurred on by the statue's words, Alaric tries to run faster!

[Escape roll: 4]

Well, the statue doesn't get any closer! That's good! Alaric tries to remember how to cast magic!

[Remembrance roll: 2]

Nope. Magic is still as elusive to him as the day he was born! Damn all that time he's spent being dead! If only he could have taken his focus with him!

[Escape roll: 2]

The statue tears forward with a magical discharge and gets into almost melee range! Oh well. Time to fight!

[Alaric vs. Marcus: 4 vs. 6+1]

The statue hovers above Alaric, meeting his telekinetic ability with his own! Oh dear! He begins to really push back now!

[Counter attack: Marcus vs. Alaric: 3+1 vs. 5]

However, Alaric proves skilled on the defensive, successfully pushing back enough to disrupt the statue for a second! However, it will take more than that to defeat it!

[Marcus vs. Alaric: 6+1 vs. 3]

Alaric is launched into a tree at an extreme speed!

[Will roll: 2]

He is so shocked at this that he completely forgets he's intangible! He smacks into the tree very much like any normal human would, feeling slightly ashamed when he realizes his mistake!

[Beautiful Man magic roll: 5]

The beautiful man spreads his fingers! His eyes glow! The statue shakes slightly! Odd. It looks weaker, somehow!

"Hahahah! Fuck you, eh!"


In a city of some kind...

Samuel decides to search for somebody more competent to tell him where the king is!

[Search roll: 6]

He walks outside and runs into a guard!

[Reaction roll: 4]

"Hello... citizen? Can I help you with anything?"

[Nonverbal communication roll: 2]

Samuel gestures wildly a whole lot!

"The theater? That's over on Queen Street."


Inside the home of Bernie...

Jordan must man up! This is a matter of life or death!

[Wake-up roll: 5]

He holds up his dog-leg!

"I say, speak, boy!"

That dog is a barking machine! It barks and it barks and it barks!

[Sleep roll: 6-1]

Damn, Bernie's sister sleeps like a hibernating bear. There is no waking her up!

[Greenstarfanatic]

Maybe waking up Bernie could help. Ask him!

[Caerwyn]

Samuel will sigh, and try to gesture for a pen and paper, writing "I must find the king! It is of the most dire urgency!

[Harry Baldman]

Inside the home of Bernie...

Hm, it appears that Bernie's sister will take special measures to awaken. Jordan asks Bernie for advice!

[Bernie benevolence roll: 3-2]

"Get the hell out of here with your freaking barking dog leg and I'll consider not killing you when I wake up."

Well.


Near an unusually helpful guard...

Samuel tries to express his need for paper!

[Nonverbal communication roll: 6]

He shows the guard that he needs ALL THE PAPER. RIGHT NOW. And a pen, too. That would be nice.

The guard slowly backs away into a booth. After a short while he returns and uneasily hands Samuel a notepad and quill.

[Literary eloquence roll: 6]

I must find the king! It is of the most dire urgency that I find His Majesty! A matter of national, perhaps even universal security! If the king is not immediately warned, he will be in extreme danger! A demon invasion threatens the land, and only I can stop it!

[Guard reaction roll: 2]

"Citizen, if you do not abandon this nonsense, I will have to arrest you. Now, can we forget this incident and go our separate ways?"

[Greenstarfanatic]

Try one last time to wake her up, and if it fails, just leave the books there and leave a note telling her what they are.

[TopHat]

Climb up and enter through one of the windows. Then LOOT the bodies, looking especially for their focuses/foci.

[Caerwyn]

Samuel will hold up the cane, and inform the guard that this is, in-fact, the Crowning Sceptar, and there is a very hefty reward for it's find. Sam'll split the reward 60-40 with the guard, if he's just shown the way. Mention that he doesn't care too much about the cash, he just wants in the king's favor.

[Harry Baldman]

Outside the Life Studies Department...

James, after making a mental note to pat himself on the back later, attempts to climb inside the department!

[Agility roll: 6+1-1]

He scales the building easy-peasy, sliding inside the window like a cat covered covered in oil! He rolls inside and strikes a heroic burglar pose! Well, maybe not heroic, strictly speaking, but impressive nonetheless!

[Ambush roll: 4]

Nobody seems to be attempting to kill him! Awesome! He tries to loot the bodies!

[Looting roll: 3]

Those dead guys don't seem to have a whole lot on them! Not even a focus! They do have 18 copper coins between the three of them.

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

That makes no sense! How did they cast spells if they didn't have foci? The mystery continues!

While searching the last dead lifemage, he notices the unconscious body of the chimp!

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

It's motionless! Could it be? Could this have been the ignoble fate of his longtime companion? Could the Heavily Armed Chimp have died to this pathetic lifemage?


Inside the home of Bernie...

Jordan decides to try one last time to awaken Bernie's sister!

[Wake-up roll: 4]

He pokes her, slightly more assertively than last time!

[Sleep roll: 1]

She sits up in bed immediately, hitting her head on the ceiling!

"Wha- ow, damn it!"

"Watch the language!"

She rubs her head for a few seconds, then speaks!

"Oh, it's you. What do you want?"

"Milady, I brought you your anatomy books!"

"And this couldn't wait? You HAD to wake me up?"

"I felt it was a matter of great urgency, milady!"

"And where are the other things I asked for?"

Jordan shrugs!

"Leave them on the table, please. And please leave me alone now. I'd like to get back to sleep, you know."


Near a strangely unperturbed guard...

Samuel writes a brand new bit of shameless lying on a piece of paper!

[Literary eloquence roll: 1]

This cane is EXPENSIVE. I want to PAWN IT to the KING. YOU will take me THERE. YOU are an IDIOT, so you will get NO MONEY for assisting ME.

He presents it to the guard!

[Guard reaction roll: 2-1]

"You're coming with me, sir. Insulting an officer of the law is grounds for execution."

He attempt to grab Samuel!

[Samuel agility roll: 5+1]

Samuel, however, slips out and runs!

[Firelordsky]

Knock on the door of the Demonic Studies Building and hide and see if anyone tries to answer or come out.

[TopHat]

Check for a pulse.
If there isn't, see if there's anything in the medical kit that can help.

[Greenstarfanatic]

Head back into the graveyard area and practice my chopping skills. Maybe try to perform a bit of magic.

[Harry Baldman]

Inside the Life Studies Department...

Oh no! Chimp! Not you too! James runs up to his old friend and attempts to practice medicine!

[Medicine roll: 6]

Well, it's not dead! Great! Does look a bit under the weather, though. Time for the universal treatment!

"THE GOOD DOCTOR PRESCRIBES LEECHES!"

James screams to the ceiling as he unleashes his stolen jar o' leeches on the unsuspecting chimp! The worms start sucking on the creature's blood at a rapid rate!

[Chimp waking up roll: 5]

The chimpanzee wakes up and, upon noticing the leeches on its body, starts jumping around and hollering and pulling them off!

"Don't fight the treatment, friend! The worms are there to help you!"

The chimp, however, does not really understand human speak and does not stop until every leech is removed from its body!

[Chimp idea roll: 6]

It begins eating the little bloodsucking bastards! Serves them right, it thinks! Within a few moments, the leeches are all gone and the chimpanzee sits down, chewing contentedly!


Outside the Demonic Studies Department...

Vincent knocks on the door, not allowing the savage condition of the university get in the way of old-fashioned politeness!

[Reaction roll: 3]

Nobody seems to reply. There is someone inside, though!


Inside the home of Bernie...

Jordan, satisfied at a job well done, goes outside and enters the mausoleum to practice his chopping!

[Search roll: 3]

He finds a skeletal corpse and throws it in the air!

[Practice roll: 5]

He chops it in half! Then he throws one half in the air and chops that in half! Then he takes the quarter and chops it in half once more!

After two hours, Jordan has gotten down to a single intact fingerbone! He chucks it in the air and easily slices it in half! There! Not a single bone in this skeleton's body has gone unchopped!

Jordan is now a Precision Axeman!

Satisfied at his performance, he attempts to perform a bit of magic!

[Jordan magic roll: 2-2]

After about two hours of pointless gesturing and expressive axe-swinging, Jordan is exceptionally disappointed to find out that he can't cast magic! Poor show, indeed! He is now Aggressively Ignorant About Magic.
