Sam looked to Zoey, "Don't pass any cemeteries on the way."

Avoiding any and all cemeteries along the way, Zoey drove straight to her home.

End Scene

New Scene:

Meeting at Zoey's.

Sam is fast asleep. Rory arrives first.

Zoey, Rory and Sam are there as well as Otto.

Rory was waiting outside while checking the messages on his phone.

Zoey sighed with relief seeing her best friend waiting for them.  She got out of the car and waved to Rory as she went to the other side to help Sam.  "Hey Rory.  You doing okay?"

She helped Sam up the stairs into her apartment and set him on the couch.  "So, what do we do?"

Rory assisted Zoey as she was helping Sam get up the stairs. "I'm OK, I still hear everything people are thinking but I think that I can deal with it now."

Rory thought about the question for a few moments but didn't have an immediate answer. "About all the chaos you mean? It seems to be the dark Pharaoh's doing. He seems to think that it is some kind of gift."

"A gift? What the hell is that supposed to mean?  If this is a gift, can we return it?"

She walked over to the sink and got herself some water.  "Susan and Allura will be here shortly too.  Hey Sam, do you mind if I tell Rory what's going on with you?"

Sam mumbles something in his sleep.

Rory laughed at Zoey's joke. "Somehow, I get the impression that it doesn't work like that."

"Too bad."

Zoey frowned a little but let Sam sleep on the couch.  She turned to Rory and quietly spoke to her closest friend, "At the hospital, people were being cured or coming back from the dead.  Sam is a healer and I believe it was him.  But it's taking a major toll on him Rory.  He practically passed out on me there."

She told him about the woman and her mother, and how the older woman was dead one minute and then when they went into the room the older woman was alive again.  "I had to take the long way here so I wouldn't go by any cemeteries just in case.  And Susan said something weird happened with Allura, but it was her story to tell.  This goes beyond weird."

Susan pulled up with Allura.   She got out after parking,  looking at Rory with relief.
"DID you get my text?   I was having trouble with coverage,  for some reason. "

Rory looked at Sam, trying to assess his situation. "That makes sense, everyone seems to be supercharged and unable to control the boost in power. An ability like Sam's would be draining to begin with, it would only be made worse if he has been using it on everyone around. I'm sure that he'll be OK."

As Susan asked about the text Rory shook his head. "Sorry, I don't get signal in the temple. What text are you talking about?"

Susan smiled sheepishly.
"Um...actually it was to meet us here.  So no harm done, I guess?"
She shrugged.
"Alls well that ends well, I suppose."

"Im glad you two made it safely.  So what's going on with you, Allura? You ok?"  Zoey got herself another drink of water as the four friends talked.

"Ive never seen Sam this bad before."

The scene changes to the hospital and a figure is scene hooked up to all kinds of life support machines.

The figure tearing themselves free of the devices and body cast,

"I'm back." Alex Tridwell smiled.

The scene moved back to the leads at Zoey's.

Zoey was standing by the sink drinking her fourth glass of water, "Any ideas on what to do about this 'gift'?  Honestly, Im kind of curious to see what else I can do and just how boosted I am."

"I think that the only one who can stop this is the Pharaoh." Rory continued. "We need to stop him or convince him to stop... But I don't know if we can do either."

Susan looked at Rory curiously.
"The Pharaoh?   Are your sure?  Why would he want to do something that might potentially help us?"

Rory clammed up slightly upon being asked the question, clearly hiding something from the others. "I don't know."

Susan frowned, and the audience could clearly see her trust in Rory,  as well as her reluctance to hurt him, warring with her obvious curiosity and impatience with withholding information.
After a second,  she stepped closer to Rory,  her big brown eyes looking up at him beseechingly
"I know this is very personal for you, Rory,  and I'd never want to hurt you, but is there anything else you can tell us?  you know we'd never lose faith in you"

Rory shook his head, apparently unaffected by Susan's charms, he clearly didn't want to blurt out what he knew in front of everyone. "Sorry, I don't know anything that could help with this."


Total: 22 (original roll) with a potential D12 for WT.
Re-Roll: 18

OoC: I have a D12 trouble for you to buy if you want WT.
Edit: Sorry, it has been a while and I forgot to tick the record each die option so the rolls only appeared at the top of the page. I made a re-roll and am happy to use either result depending on people's preference. I also messed up my attractive roll, it should have been a d6 rather than a d8. I really shouldn't post before my coffee. :S

10:37, Today: Rory Terrance rolled 2 using 1d6.  Attractive.
10:29, Today: Rory Terrance rolled 29,3 using 4d12,d8 with rolls of 6,10,8,5,3.  Re-roll.
10:26, Today: Rory Terrance rolled 28,7 using 4d12,d8.  Challenge Truth, Susan, Attractive.
10:26, Today: Rory Terrance rolled 28,7 using 4d12,d8 ((1,12,10,5,7)).

Hands Rory a plot point.  Good work on reminding people about challenges ^_^
Poor Susan takes some stress.

OOC : does the stress mean that I suspect he's hiding something?

(It could be that or it could be feeling bad that he is not straight with you, or feeling insecure that you asked too much.)

OOC :   got it.
