In combat with a bunch of tribesmen...Vincent sighs mentally and swings his staff with that third arm of his.
[Vincent vs. Tribesmen: 1+2 vs. 6+2]
He swings the staff at the tribesmen, but they have already retreated some distance away from him!
[Staff ability roll: 5]
That proves to not be much of a problem, as the torus on the staff quickly detaches and flies toward the people!
[Torus of Murder roll: 5]
It sails through the air and splits into three flying chakrams, each embedding itself in a tribesman, then flying back to Vincent's staff! Vincent briefly glances from his book with interest, then turns right back as the torus reforms at the staff's tip.
[Tribesman 1 endurance roll: 3]
[Tribesman 2 endurance roll: 6]
[Tribesman 3 endurance roll: 4]
Though three of the tribesmen were wounded, only one seems to slump slightly and take a break. Another seems to be taking it better. However, the third one just loses it and runs at Vincent in a berserk fury!
[Tribesman 2 vs. Vincent: 6+
1 vs. 4+3]
Vincent looks upon him with the utmost disinterest and steps aside.
[Metal Guardian vs. Tribesman 2: 2+2 vs. 4-
1]
The metal guardian gives the foolish tribesman a good, firm slap to the face! This seems to knock some of the craziness out of him, strangely enough.
[Tribesman 2 intelligence roll: ?]
He decides that perhaps picking a fight with a heavily-armed skeleton and a metal man was perhaps not the best idea and decides to run back to his comrades. Despite the gravity of the situation, some of his compatriots can't help but laugh at the turn of events just then.
[Tribesmen morale roll: 6]
The tribesmen then decide to charge at Vincent once again, since it worked so well the first time!
[Tribesmen vs. Vincent: 5+1+1 vs. 3+3]
They charge at Vincent and stab at him while Vincent does his very best to look totally nonchalant. One of them stabs him in the eyesocket, which is rather unpleasant. Not too bothersome, though.
[Vincent vs. Tribesmen: 2+2 vs. 6+1]
He swings the staff once again, letting the Torus of Murder fly!
[Torus of Murder roll: 1]
The close distance means it doesn't have time to split apart, so it merely hits one of the tribesmen in its blunt form. The tribesman grabs it and holds it with a fearful expression!
[Counterattack: Tribesmen vs. Vincent: 1+1 vs. 1+3]
[Tribesmen vs. Vincent: 5+1 vs. 6+3]
The two groups look at each other perplexedly for a moment, then resume battle. As the tribesmen advance once more, Vincent decides that he might have to kill them the old fashioned way.
[Counterattack: Vincent vs. Tribesmen: 4+2 vs. 5+1]
The bastards get out of the way before he can, though. Well, at least they retreated a bit.
[Metal Guardian vs. Tribesmen: 6+2 vs. 1+1]
The metal guardian decides it's had enough of this. It nonchalantly walks up to the group of tribesmen, who look at it suspiciously and try to step back. However, just as they are about to do this, the guardian breaks into a rapid sprint, getting to the group in a split second!
It then proceed to pick up a tribesman and pull him apart like a poorly-made ragdoll, punch another's head clean off his shoulders, headbutt the ribcage of one more into a bloody pulp, stabs a fifth in the heart with his own forcibly removed jawbone and rips off the head of a sixth. It then chucks the head at an escaping seventh, catching him in the back of the head. It then walks up to the unconscious tribesman, removes his arm with its steel hands and proceeds to slowly beat him to death with it.
Vincent might even have been shocked by this unusual violence on the part of his metal friend if he wasn't too busy studying his charcoal symbol-book at the time.
[Intelligence roll: ?]
He believes he might be able to cast magic from these symbols! All he needs is the blood of an innocent! But where to get some?
In the Lethal Woods...Timothy unconvincingly promises the increasingly-mutilated remains of Tom a safe delivery to where he was supposed to go!
"Whooops. Dun' worries, I's getcha outta this, Tom." He then attempts to pick up the remains with telekinesis!
[Telekinesis roll: 6]
He picks them up
hard. Hard enough to make them fly through the air and off into the direction of the castle Bob lives in! Well, hopefully they flew past the moat. Otherwise he might be in trouble.
[Flight roll: 6]
Timothy chooses to follow the remains, and, not one to be outdone even by himself, flies at an incredible speed, screeching like the howling spirit he undoubtedly is!
[Spooky Howling roll: 4]
His screech echoes throughout the area, sending chills through the bones of farmers and animals alike! In less than ten minutes, he has reached the castle! He looks around for the remains of Tom!
[Tom's remains flight roll: 5]
They seem to have landed on the roof of Bob's house! Is that the luckiest shot of Timothy's life or what?
[Fred and Jim competence roll: 1]
Fred and Jim are nowhere to be seen, however. Could they really have screwed up going down a straight road?
Wait list, please.

Biography: Rather boring person in life hsi only accoplishments being a loving husband and three adopted children from a war long past. He loved them dearly. He was hit by a cart whilst fetching them bread.
He was at peace.
Unfortunatley his husband loved him a little too much and was an accomplished mage with a long hidden inability to accept loss.
...Yeah, let's just say when he walked out three months later that he was thankful that zombies are a host to a meltingpot of virulent diseases.
*Rather poetic I think, saxon for one who has been vanquished. =D
Been reading this for the last two days, and may have three cracked ribs from laughing so hard.
Thank you so very much for creating it! =]
Got it. And thank you for the kind words.
((Heeeey, I'm totally going to complete the mission! Er, once I finish 'helping' everyone else in the land, that is...))
There's still at least one town for you to go past and then Lake Victory itself, which is a different story entirely. Plus you have no Enchanted Box of Bernie Summoning.
