Ask them if they are Samuel and Nik, if so tell them the pastor needs them.

: Excuse me gentlemen. I do hope I'm not intruding on you.

: Ah, my boy. Please, join us. My friend and I have simply been musing over the intricate practice of, what he calls, time-varying magnetic fields. I'm not quite sure of the details, but it is a most fascinating conundrum.

: Bez obzira, Samuel, I've been trying to explain it to you for three hours now and you still won't listen.

: No matter indeed.

: Oh. So. Excuse us, sir. Please, tell us. What seems to be the matter of which you urgently need our attention?

: Well, I'm not sure I'm the man to explain this, and so I apologize on behalf of my lack of understanding, but in the church there is some smoke most foul emitting from whatever it was beneath that sheet. I don't know what it is, but I reckon it's bad. The pastor told me to come and find you gentlemen.

: Jebeni pakao!



Nik runs out of the bookstore in a hurry to see the pastor.

: Son, you seem shaken. Is something the matter?

: In truth, sir, I haven't the faintest notion to what's been going on around here. I awoke on a train headed here before breakfast without a thought in my head as to who I was or where I was going. Then I saw the most ghastly thing you'd ever see. It had glowing red eyes and flo-

SMACK!



: Almighty! Son of a bitch, what was that!?

: Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today.



: Christ, not again. Stand back, Samuel. I've handled these gal-boy sucking infestations before!



: Today is clearly not a day to be found of.

COMBAT INITIATED

Oh boy!

Oh stuff. You dont have a voodoo weapon.

PREACH!


Preach like the richardens

Oh stuff. You dont have a voodoo weapon.

PREACH!

For the sake of this battle, I'm going to do something for you.

Remember, you're at level 1 overall. Meaning, you can put a +1 attack bonus on one skill in this encounter. Once allocated it cannot be changed to another skill until another encounter and it's all or nothing (meaning no divvying).

Considering you have only one skill that would actually do damage to these starfishs, for the sake of this battle, I'm going put it in preach for you. But remember this next time!



Rolled 9 + 1 = 10 - success

Roll d10 for damage: 10 + 1 = 11


You have gained +1 experience points in Preach

: I have had more than my fill of you you eternal gutter trash. By the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit, I cast you in the fiery depths of damnation itself! And if you should crawl your sorry ass back to this world, then I will insight the wrath of God himself and smite you where you stand, you demon-eyed hog. I'll rench your waste and feed it to the dogs!

: GGGGAAAHH. YOU INFERNAL FLESH-BEAST! YOUR WORDS ARE LIKE FIRE!

Apparition loses -11 HP!

Apparition's Health: 9/20

The other spirit looks at you, no words spoken.

: And what you of you, you slimey piece of hell? Do my words not move you?

The creature says nothing. It is apparent that this spirit cannot speak. However, it makes no indication that the words hurt it.

The attack fails to work on the Poltergeist!

: Oh hell.

You have gained +1 experience points in Preach

You fire a shot at the poltergeist first. The shot sadly passed through him without much of hint of doing damage.

However, you do manage to scrape a bit of one of the books away. This poltergeist seems discouraged.



You then belt out a quick, impromptu exorcists' prayer.

: You are quite the ugly varmint, aren't you? Be gone, evil spirit! Leave this place! It hath been commanded by God to send you back to Satan and his minions! May you rot in peace!

: FLESSSHHH. SO MUCH WASTED FLESSSSHHH.

He Rolled 17 - success

His book hits you.

OH NO!

You current HP has reached 0! In Deadrock's RPG system, that means you've been bloodied and are now unconscious! You can't move nor attack while bloodied and you have until -(negative)5 HP before you're truly dead.

What should you do? (even though you really can't do anything)

Menen: Open portal and save him


Samuel and Nik: come to the rescue


Use REST
restore some health every turn

Use REST
restore some health every turn

That's actually a good idea, but in this RPG the only people who have power to restore health are those who have magic.

While it might be possible for Nathan to learn magic down the road, right now he's just a plain ol' Level 1 preacher.

You need at least a level 5 to learn blessings (holy spells). But once you gain that high a skill, I'd certainly suggest we look into learning those.



The two ghastly spirits look over your unconscious frame and prepare to end it, once and for all.

: FINALLY! A FLESHBAG ALL TO MYSELF.

KA-CRACK!



Was that a... a gunshot?

Apparition is at 0 HP. Ghosts do not bloody, and thus is instantly sucked back into the void from whence it came.

KA-CRACK!



Poltergeist's Health: 1/10



: Alas, you foolish fiends. Fear the force of my frightening firearm!

The Apparition, clinging to the skin of the realm, lets out a (re)dying breath:

: CLAUDIUS HEWITT!? NO! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. YOU'RE DOWN HERE, WITH US! YOU WERE DAMNED TO DOWN HERE!

: The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
