(TFT) SOLO III, 007

SOLO III
Demon World
Part 007

  "I think he is ready." Rebecca says.
In the back of the large room, from what looks like a kitchen, Ada comes walking out carrying a necklace with a flouresent gem on it. She walks up and presents it to you. "This is apophyllite. Your most favorite gem." She places the necklace over your head and settles it on your shoulders. You raise your head and take up the gem with your right hand. It is warm and echos your own heart beat, back into your palm. 
  "Place it under your shirt next to the skin" she says.
  You do so and silvery veins spread all over your body.
"You now have skin of iron." she says. And she is right. It is amazing. You can scrape the knife over your arm and nothing happens. Except for the streaking sound of metal on metal. Rebecca comes and stands directly in front of you. She speaks, "Uncle. We want to take out a demon tonight at midnight. We want to re-equip you with some of your favorite gear. Show you how it works, and use you as a first strike weapon." They open a box on the table. Inside is a thorny dragon's heart, along side a leather glove with silver rivits. "When you handle this some of your memories may come back." She points to the dragon's heart. The muscles of the heart have thorns and it looks like it will be painfull just to handle. "But the heart wont work unless you handle it with this." And she points to the glove. 

  Here is Uncles character sheet, and new equipment.

You are sure that you used to be a lot smarter, and know lot more spells. But apparently coming back from the dead over and over has left you a shadow of your former self. You can almost feel all those other spells at the edges of your mind. Other than that, you still have no real memory of this place. Hours are spent learning how to use the equipment. How to turn on and off the flaming gloves, How the 30 point strength battery should be used to power the long-distance teleport "As an exit strategy." And how to attack someone by punching them with the glove while holding the dragon heart at the same time. The glove does different damage depending on how much work you put into it. The hammer touch enchantment on the glove can receive work and multiply it into damage. When fighting a demon they reccomend the 7d+3 attack. "It might knock 'em down for a second" Rebecca says. "But it will drain a lot of your strength away. Equivalent of a 5 hour work out instantly. So use the battery to power that too." 

glove, flaming, +4 damage, and hammer touch damage by fatigue spent
   1+5
1   3+3
2   4+3
3   5+3

  Next: straight to the demon.
