[Harry Baldman]

Inside the mind of a totally crazy person...

James looks around for a bit.

He's still in the room with the pillars and the chessboard floor. No old man in sight. He still has the plate, however. And the Penultimate Book of Magic.

Well, at least he's in control of his mind. Otherwise it might seem like he's made no progress at all, and we can't have that!

[miauw62]

Mike will board the ship until he rested

[Harry Baldman]

Mike will go aboard the ship if it goes in the direction of Yellowgen.

((It goes south. Yellowglen is southeast. What do you want to do, then?))

[Harry Baldman]

Above the Sea of Death...

Mike flies over to the ship and rests in the crow's nest. It's what it's there for, right?

[Resting roll: 2]

Unfortunately, the awful wind and the constantly yelling lookout prove non-conducive to an optimal resting experience.

[Sea of Death activity roll: 2]

"Cap'n! There be beasties ahead!"

[Captain roll: 6]

"FIRE THE BALLISTAE!"

[Ship's Ballistae vs. Sea Beasties: 2 vs. 2]

Mike hears projectiles hitting the water.

"We missed, Cap'n!"

[miauw62]

Mike will find a better resting spot and leave when he's rested

[Harry Baldman]

On a ship on the Sea of Death...

Mike tries to find a more quiet place to rest in!

[Search roll: 6]

He flies right into a barrel of sauerkraut just as someone is about to put a lid on it! The sailor doesn't notice a thing and just closes up the barrel.

Mike finds the barrel to be rather slimy, plus it smells like the most awful thing ever, but it does have several advantages - it's very warm, it's dark and it is rather soundproof. Just goes to show you - when given the choice where to sleep, always choose the barrel of sauerkraut.

[Resting roll: 5+1]

Mike slips into a nice, long nap. Nothing could wake him up now!

[Ballistae vs. Beasties: 6 vs. 6]
[Beasties vs. Ship: 6 vs. 6]
[Ballistae vs. Beasties: 5 vs. 3]
[Beastie persistence roll: 6]
[Beasties vs. Ship: 5 vs. 6]
[Ballistae vs. Beasties: 3 vs. 2]
[Beastie persistence roll: 1]

Yep. Everything's going great for Mike. The warmth of the sauerkraut is greatly comforting, plus the stench kind of grows on you after a while. Perhaps literally.

He wakes up sometime later! He feels extremely well-rested, but he seems to have also run into a certain problem - the barrel's still closed.

[Firelordsky]

Take his tusks and set off to find a store to rob.

[miauw62]

Mike will telekinetically open the barrel and continue.

[Harry Baldman]

On the streets of Er...

Vincent tries to steal the tusks right off the man!

[Halberd use roll: 1]

Hey, this isn't real ivory at all! This guy's tusks seem to be made of steel! What a faker! Not only does Vincent fail to saw off the man's tusks, he also somewhat dulls his halberd! Now it won't be quite as good as a chopping weapon!

Disappointed, he sets off to find more places to loot!

[Search roll: 3]

Well, there's a food market. That's pretty much the only place that actually has anything to rob. Anything at all, not even something valuable.


On a ship voyaging along the Sea of Death...

Mike tries to telekinetically open the barrel he's in!

[Telekinesis roll: 1]

Oh gods, the sauerkraut is closing in! It begins to suffocate Mike, and is clenching ever tighter!

[Mike endurance roll: 3]

Oh dear. Mike seems to be struggling for air, though he does still have time left!

[miauw62]

Mike will try again!

[TopHat]

Take control of my real body, not the mind-body.

[Harry Baldman]

Inside a claustrophobic barrel of sauerkraut...

Mike tries to figure out what went wrong with the previous telekinesis attempt!

[Intelligence roll: ?]

Oh, right. Push outwards, not pull inwards! What an easy mistake to make.

[Telekinesis roll: 6+1]

Mike creates a massive telekinetic explosion around him! Superheated sauerkraut flies through the room, covering the nearby sailors and setting them on fire!

[Sailor fire safety roll: 4]

They quickly extinguish themselves before the sauerkraut leaves any permanent marks! They also make sure to extinguish any nearby sauerkraut fires!

"See, I told you this would happen one day, but did you listen? No, you didn't!"

"Well, excuse me if spontaneously exploding sauerkraut didn't sound like the most plausible idea at the time!"

"Man, when you've seen what I've seen, spontaneous sauerkraut barrel explosions will seem like basic arithmetic. On the Ocean of Dreams stuff like that happens every day."

"Every day?"

"Every. Single. Day."

[Sailor perception roll: 4]

The two sailors suddenly look at the sauerkraut-stained crow in the middle of where the explosion was!

"Hey, Tom, what do you make of a crow in the exploding sauerkraut barrel?"

[Reaction roll: 2]

"Same thing I make of any other crow, George. The most delicious damn stew on the Five Oceans!"

"Shall we get it, then, Tom?"

"Sure, George. Won't even have to marinade it this time, what with the thing already soaked in sauerkraut."

"Ooh, I can almost taste it already!"

The men begin to advance toward Mike, obviously trying to look inconspicuous!


In the mind of a madman...

James has a niggling thought in the back of his mind. Something about taking over his real body. Hm.

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

You know, he really begins to suspect that he might not be in control of his real body after all, and this is but a mentally constructed avatar for mental navigation. He tests this theory!

[Will roll: 3+1]

He grows two legs and his tails become arms. Well, that proves that. He most definitely is a mental avatar. Therefore, he should probably go on and take over his body. But how?

[Firelordsky]

Set off in another direction and try to find Barry.

[miauw62]

Mike will use his ghostly ventriloquism to scare them off and continue his journey.
