Charlie's cheeks flare a deep crimson red. "The Great Dictator?! THE GREAT DICTATOR?! That was HIM! HIM! THE USURPER! THE DOPPELGANGER!" Charlie lets out a long *sigh* and his color returns to normal. "Ah well, what's in the past is past. You'll learn that soon enough. If the witch wants you to get the locket maybe I can help. Who knows, maybe we can break a deal and get her to change us back to humans...First things first though, I need to find my dad. He'll get ate by a rat if I'm lucky, but until then I have to keep an eye out for him...Come, this way."
Charlie leads you down a winding corridor of wires and pipes, dust bunnies and mold. It all smells wonderful but you resist the urges as best you can. It feels like you've walked the corridors for hours but Charlie assures you that only about a minute has gone by. Time passes by more slowly for roaches it seems.
You hear something ahead. *Crunch cRunch CRUNCH crunch CRUCH CRUNCHCRUNCH* "Shit!" Charlie stops you with one of his legs. "Be quiet, that's the sound of a rat eating..." The two of you inch up to the corner and peak around.
"Dammit Dad...I told you not to run..." Charlie whispers...
A rat the size of a van sits on its haunches eating the guts out of the abdomen of what you guess was Charlie's dad. It's impossible to tell. All that's left is a couple legs, an antenna and the juicy orange goo filled abdomen that the rat has its muzzle buried in. It smells delicious...
The rat perks it's ear and it's cold red eyes scan the air around it. It lets out a chitter and a SQUEEL! before something unseen wrenches its jaw open. You hear a CRACK as the rat's jaw shatters and its body swells unnaturally with some unseen mass as it begins to expand and swell like a balloon being filled with air.
"What in the hell is happening to it?" Charlie says as you both watch in horror. Something is ripping the rat apart from the inside...
*SQUICK SPLORT SPLASH RrriiiIiIP SQUISH*
Long black leech-like tentacles, dozens of them, squish from the rats belly, writhing in an almost intelligent fashion as they hoist the rats body upwards and begin...moving your way!
"We've got to run...RUN! RUN!!!" Charlie shoves you hard as he moves past you and drags you bodily behind him. You glance back in horror and watch as long oozing black tentacles slap the wall behind you and drag the dead rat in your direction. Dead? No, not dead...you can still here it whimpering pathetically...
You need to run but you're still not 100% comfortable in this new roach body! I'm going to be rolling against you at a difficulty of three as the rat abomination lurches it way towards you. What will you do now?

I am going to roll my dice that's what I'll do!
I'll roll my three discipline: 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 = (3) + (4) + (6) = 13 and I will increase my excaustion from two to three: 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 = (6) + (4) + (5) = 15

Pain 1d6 = (6) = 6
Pain 1d6 = (4) = 4
Pain 1d6 = (2) = 2
Your rolls:
Discipline:   
Exhaustion: 
Successes: 1@Exhaustion(6,5,4)
My rolls:
Pain: 
Successes: 1@(6,4)
Results:
You succeed with 1 success (ties go to the protagonist) and exhaustion dominates on 6,5,4.
You'll need to raise your exhaustion another point!
Since we know the results, I'm going to pass the narration of what happens over to you. Just remember, you're successful, but it takes it toll on you in the form of making you more exhausted  Let's see how you deal with the tentacled rat-thing!

Charlie wait!
Where is Charlie? Charlie!!!
I start running with all my power but it's confusing with so many legs. I take a step forward then to the left then backwards. My legs are tripping on each other while I try to keep an order, I am sure that some legs haven't even move yet. The tentacles are hitting the floor hard as they try to smash me but they can't hit me while I breakdance like this.
As I try to move every unknown part of my body I feel like I hovered for a second. Of course! I have wings! And just as I realised it I burst forward! Weeee, being a cockroach is the best.
Staaaak! A tentacle hits me but I manage to hold my body high and continue flying. I need to get into something narrow, that's what we cockroaches do, isn't it?
Ftaaaang I feel maybe a tentacle or something grabs me and nails me on the wet floor and I struggle to keep moving forward flapping wings and pushing with those fragile legs.
mmuuuaaaaaaaaaa cratch, cratch aaaaaaaaaaaa I escape the grab and I feel like somenting tore apart my insides but I am a bit lighter and I fly faster than before, deeper in the sewer... I am so dizzy from the fear and all the slapping... and the pain. I can hear the rat throwing it's tentacles in the air but I get further away each second and what's more important I see a place I can hide!
It looks like a red carpet from some kind of a movie premiere leading into a cave and so I land on it without second thoughts. It's soft and bouncy but shorter than a real red carpet, two steps away a narrow tunnel goes deeper inside this place. I squeeze myself inside and crawl to an opening that smells weird. Not bad, just weird. It looks like a large cave filled with some kind of acidic liquid. For a moment I re-evaluate my decision to hide in here when I realise that the rat is trying to eat his way inside. Scriam, slitch... And at the same time I look down at half of my body missing... bitten away! Well that's just great!
BANG, BANG, BANG. I hear muffled gunshots and then a person talking loud. ''Don't you mess with my body you stupid rat.'' I hear an old man's voice, he is talking to himself I think. ''I need all of his fingers and stuff. He is getting married today. Hehehehehe! Now look here what you did you filthy rat, you bit his fat belly, damn...''
''F**k where did I put my book. Wow, rats are getting weirder every day in this place. Well, as long as they don't taste funny, heeheeheeheehee!''
I suddenly feel that I am being dragged away along with my hiding place.

All this motion causes the lake of acid in this strange cave to move unexpectedly towards me so I decide that I don't won't to have my remaining coackroach body melt away in that slime.
I crawl back up to the opening and look around. It's closed. Oops, the hole that I got in is closed with some big white rocks.
Well, I have no intention of getting of my hiding place anyway, not while that man protects it so I follow a second small hole inside a passage that leads in a substance that feels like a sponge. A wet sponge. And I make my self comfortable there. It's kind of peacefull...
I can just hear the man singing something that goes like that:
''The book, the book, the magic-magic book
it keeps as alive while death is on the bay.
And can I explain the words that you mistook
two lovers one day, the world has come astray
You dead, you sleep, there's not a thing between
and all the people knew she was a creature deep
Two lovers, one day, one year and some decay
the world you knew is not so let me just explain
Hey ladies! Your head is on the way''
(to be continued - for just another scene)

After some heavy doors have opened and closed and some jerking around (not for me really I am all tucked in but for my host) I notice that the temperature is starting to fall rapidly and then all movement stops!
The old man is shouting loudly to someone about a book ''$%#&*!'' and not long after I hear him mumbling words that don't make any sense.
''A billfold approaches an environmental territory''
Should I go now? Should I try to get out and find a way to the wedding and hopefully the amulet?
''The chapel stimulates an approaching gospel''
The words are coming through distorted and it's like a chant.
Hmm, maybe now is my chance to...
''The evolutionary rescue pockets the offended bug''
No, it's nice here I will stay just for a little while.
For some reason I can hear the words clearly now and they are soothing, I won't move.
''The clarifying editor hurts beneath a tune''
Actually I can't move, my body parts are being absorbed by that substance that I am in. I feel soft like that sponge and I am being swallowed inside. And the chant continues, I feel comfortable like returning home and warm and... yes, inside a dead body all along but... mum?
''When will the cheek withdraw into the crash disaster?''
- Bliss - total absent of sound - a baby's sudden cry that cuts off in mid-breath -
