[Alathon]

Session 62 - part 2

[17:00] <Reis> (Gah. Have fun at the party, Mani)
[17:00] <Alathon> There are injured people on the ground
[17:01] <Alathon> (and, later yarrow)
[17:01] <Reis> (All righty... will it take any special called shot to NOT hit the bystanders with
a single-shot attack?)
[17:01] <Yarrow> (Thanks. Good luck and have fun slaughtering.)
[17:02] <Alathon> If it's a beam, it's impossible to judge that
[17:02] <Alathon> If it's a bolt of energy, that's a -4
[17:02] <Sheena> Dark Heart: Civilins in are of effect, Alternate attack recomanded
[17:02] <Reis> (All righty)
[17:02] <Yarrow> (Watch me drive 40 minutes and fail to find the place...)
[17:03] * Reis narrows her eyes on seeing them, and opens fire with a pair of slung lances of
silver - both for the not-looter, aiming between all civilians.
[17:03] <Reis> roll 1d20+29
[17:03] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+29 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{35}

[17:03] <Reis> (Accuracy is a VERY nice attribute, as always)
[17:03] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+26 shoot.
[17:03] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+26 shoot. --> [ 1d20=10 ]{36}
[17:03] <Alathon> It's flat-footed, but not entirely surprised -- it's a hostile environment.
[17:03] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+21 shoot.
[17:03] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+21 shoot. --> [ 1d20=19 ]{40}
[17:03] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+17 shoot.
[17:03] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+17 shoot. --> [ 1d20=13 ]{30}
[17:04] <Reis> (All righty. Autohit, or does it get to roll defence?)

[17:05] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 2#6d8 AP 20 --> [ 6d8=37 ]{37}, [ 6d8=26 ]{26}
[17:05] <Alathon> It stumbles over oneo f the people it just killed and fails ot dodge everything.
[17:06] <Alathon> Both your attacks hit cleanly, without hitting a civilian
[17:06] <Alathon> Sheena, go ahead and roll your damage as well
[17:08] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+20
[17:08] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{26}
[17:08] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+19
[17:08] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{34}

[17:09] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 3#3d8+4 FP --> [ 3d8=13 ]{17}, [ 3d8=16 ]{20}, [ 3d8=16 ]{20}
[17:10] <Alathon> all three hit, but to little effect.. they penetrate the angel's breastplate,
but don't rock it back the way Reis's attacks did.
[17:10] <Sheena> "Great spead patter and homding, but it seem we need to up the impact"
[17:10] <Sheena> Dark Heart: Effect noted
[17:10] <Alathon> Mani crouches a little, swords ready.

[17:12] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{15}
[17:12] <Alathon> And is rocked back as it explodes in her face.
[17:12] <Reis> (Ack, that was her?)
[17:12] <Alathon> roll 12d6
[17:12] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 12d6 --> [ 12d6=37 ]{37}
[17:12] <Reis> (... OW.)
[17:13] <Alathon> She falls on her ass.
[17:13] <Alathon> SHe doesn't even have time to cuss, she's stunned.
[17:13] * Sheena blinks at that
[17:13] <Alathon> The flash of energy was an emerald green.
[17:13] <Alathon> Anyways, init for everyone.
[17:13] <Sheena> (oh come ON, its her Mom and she dont have DR?)
[17:13] * Reis glances over suddenly, evaluating whether she's all right.
[17:13] <Reis> roll 1d20+9
[17:13] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{19}
[17:14] <Alathon> (she doesn't spend it on stuff that wouldn't threaten or cost her life)
[17:14] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+4 init roll!!
[17:14] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+4 init roll!! --> [ 1d20=4 ]{8}

[17:14] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+5 Usagi --> [ 1d20=20 ]{25}

[17:15] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#1d20+9 Angels --> [ 1d20=3 ]{12}, [ 1d20=20 ]{29}, [ 1d20=19

[17:15] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+10 Mani --> [ 1d20=3 ]{13}
[17:18] <Alathon> (okay this is a waste of time, next week I use that script to do it all in one
line)
[17:18] <Reis> (Heh)
[17:19] <Alathon> Alright
[17:20] <Alathon> Fight order: Angel #2, Usagi, Angel #3, ???, Reis, Sakura, Mani, Angel #1,
Sheena
[17:20] <Reis> (Which one have we been abusing?)
[17:20] <Alathon> Angel #2 drops its looting sack and thunders down the street towards you all,
sword raised, bull-rushing civilians out of the way, but doesn't make it this turn.
[17:20] <Alathon> (#1)
[17:21] <Alathon> Usagi blinks a bit, then stands up slowly, and does something
[17:21] <Alathon> Namely, put her hands together over her heart, and glow a bit.
[17:21] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[17:21] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{41}
[17:21] * Reis nods on seeing that Usagi's mobile, and turns her attention back to the angels.
[17:21] <Alathon> roll 2d8
[17:21] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2d8 --> [ 2d8=5 ]{5}
[17:21] <Alathon> roll 5d8+12
[17:22] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5d8+12 --> [ 5d8=28 ]{40}
[17:22] <Alathon> She looks a lot less shaky when she finishes.
[17:22] <Reis> (Did that just heal her entirely?)
[17:22] <Alathon> Angel #3 follows Angel #2's suit, but doesn't reach the party.
[17:22] <Alathon> oh yeah,
[17:22] <Alathon> roll 4d6
[17:22] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 4d6 --> [ 4d6=12 ]{12}
[17:23] <Alathon> (forgot something)
[17:23] <Alathon> anyways
[17:24] <Alathon> Sakura, y ou're up
[17:24] <Alathon> wait
[17:24] <Alathon> no, reis goes first
[17:25] * Reis spares her left hand for a moment to adjust her glasses, narrows her eyes,
vanishing from sight and flashing into view behind Angel #2, lancing the ribbons from her
uniform into the back of his head.
[17:25] <Reis> roll 1d20+33
[17:25] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{39}
[17:26] <Alathon> roll 1d20+22 flat-footed
[17:26] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+22 flat-footed --> [ 1d20=19 ]{41}
[17:26] <Reis> (Bastahd)
[17:26] <Alathon> Against all odds, he senses the attack, and shoves off a civilian to get outta
the way.
[17:27] <Alathon> (which attack was that?)
[17:27] <Reis> (Point-blank Banden Schwert)
[17:27] <Alathon> okay, gimme a 1d20 and make it good
[17:28] <Reis> roll 1d20
[17:28] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{14}
[17:28] <Alathon> a spreading autofire attack in a street full of civilians...
[17:28] <Reis> (NO way, I was doing just a single shot with it)
[17:28] <Reis> (Just limiting it to shoot the one)
[17:28] <Sheena> (you dont have the max defecton it do you?0
[17:28] <Reis> (No)
[17:29] <Alathon> (since when could you remote attributes from an attack, though?)
[17:29] <Alathon> (remove)
[17:29] <Alathon> (okay, nm)
[17:29] <Alathon> (for that attack, you succeeded in doing so)
[17:29] <Alathon> (we'll discuss it post-game)
[17:30] <Reis> (Okay... for the remainder of this session, I won't be able to restrict it to
non-spreading, then. Right)
[17:30] <Alathon> (wait a sec
[17:30] <Alathon> (no
[17:30] <Alathon> (I meant the auto-fire
[17:30] <Alathon> (there's no way a spreading attack just instantly becomes a non-spreading attack
[17:30] <Alathon> (we've had that discussion like twice)
[17:31] <Reis> (Gah. Right, we'll discuss it after-game then)
[17:31] <Alathon> roll 2d6
[17:31] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2d6 --> [ 2d6=6 ]{6}
[17:31] <Alathon> roll 6#1d20+5

1d20=12 ]{17}, [ 1d20=7 ]{12}, [ 1d20=10 ]{15}
[17:32] <Alathon> One young man in your lane of fire trips over the curb of the street and falls
out of the way
[17:32] <Alathon> The other five get blown the fuck away.
[17:32] <Reis> (God dammit... If I'd known that ahead of time I wouldn't have ever FIRED the damn
thing.)
[17:32] <Alathon> Sakura, you're up
[17:32] <Alathon> (dude
[17:33] <Alathon> (we've discussed this, repeated, with both you and sheena
[17:33] <Alathon> (you can reduce an attribute if it's not maximum force but not just make it go
away)
[17:33] <Alathon> (and sure as hell not one like ae or spreading)
[17:34] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+28
[17:34] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{41}
[17:34] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+23
[17:34] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{36}
[17:34] <Kuonji> (WTF)
[17:34] <Alathon> (whats wrong with those/)
[17:34] <Kuonji> (two identical rolls?)
[17:34] <Reis> (Bleh. I bought that under the impression I'd be able to make it more SPECIFIC.
Can I retcon it?)
[17:35] <Alathon> (heh, and 13's too))
[17:35] <Kuonji> roll 2#6d8
[17:35] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 2#6d8 --> [ 6d8=36 ]{36}, [ 6d8=29 ]{29}
[17:35] <Kuonji> roll 2#6d6
[17:35] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 2#6d6 --> [ 6d6=18 ]{18}, [ 6d6=24 ]{24}
[17:35] <Alathon> (next time roll that as 2#6d8+6d6 pls, easier to add up vs armor, but no biggie)
[17:36] <Alathon> (And
[17:36] <Alathon> (okay
[17:36] <Reis> (All right, thank you. I guess I took a swing and just missed, then?)
[17:36] <Alathon> (on the assumption you simply made a mistake in good faith, you shot a
Furieriss right by his head, blow the sign off the Hog's Hed pub.)
[17:36] <Reis> (Gotcha)
[17:37] <Alathon> Anyways, Mani is up.
[17:38] <Alathon> She will move a few feet forwards, positioning herself to block the charging
angels from reaching Usagi
[17:39] <Reis> (What'd Sakura do? I know he damaged someone, at least)
[17:39] <Alathon> You don't know
[17:39] <Reis> (Ah, we didn't see? Gotcha)
[17:40] <Alathon> The injured angel raises his flaming sword, almost in a salute, then slams it
to the ground straight forward.
[17:41] <Alathon> A brilliant orange-yellow burst of flame seems to leap from the sword and race
along the ground, scorching civilians on its way towards Reis, where it explodes up from the
ground into a pillar of flame.
[17:41] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27
[17:41] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{29}
[17:41] <Reis> (Dodge?)
[17:41] <Alathon> (yeah)
[17:41] <Reis> roll 1d20+31
[17:41] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{33}
[17:41] <Alathon> Which Reis evades.
[17:41] <Alathon> He then starts running forward
[17:41] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[17:41] * Reis whirls to evade that, and GROWLS, low in her throat.
[17:42] <Sheena> "Strike frame, Open" Dark Heart: Gigiblade Forming"
[17:43] * Sheena moves by mani an takes a guard postion as dark heart reforms
[17:43] <Sheena> (done)
[17:43] <Sheena> (command uses a turn)
[17:43] <Alathon> (nod)
[17:43] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order
[17:44] <Alathon> Angel #2 runs a bit more, before leaping into the air with a beat of its wings,
and divebombing right over Mani towards Usagi..
[17:44] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27
[17:44] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{40}
[17:44] <Alathon> Usagi, naturally, tries to get the hell outta the way
[17:45] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[17:45] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{31}
[17:45] <Alathon> ...
[17:45] <Reis> (...)
[17:45] <Kuonji> (...)
[17:45] <Reis> (Usagi, someone HATES you)
[17:45] <Alathon> She zigs where she shoulda zagged.
[17:45] <Alathon> The Angel correctly identifies which way she was going, and brings its sword
down in a heavy two-handed leap-attack.
[17:46] <Reis> (Oh dear)
[17:46] <Alathon> roll 3d8+22+34
[17:46] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3d8+22+34 --> [ 3d8=16 ]{72}
[17:46] <Reis> (Fuuuuuuuck)
[17:46] <Sheena> (she didnt DR that?)
[17:46] <Reis> (... I think she's DRing the next)
[17:46] <Alathon> And cuts Usagi deeply from shoulder to shank. SHe stumbles back, horrified.
[17:47] <Alathon> She's up, and clasps her hands again, this time in front of herself
[17:47] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[17:47] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{37}
[17:47] <Alathon> ... whoa that was close
[17:47] <Alathon> roll 2d6
[17:47] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2d6 --> [ 2d6=7 ]{7}
[17:47] <Alathon> A translucent bubble of force appears around her.
[17:48] <Alathon> Angel #3 repeats #2's performance, this time targeting Sheena
[17:48] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27 leap-attack at sheena
[17:48] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27 leap-attack at sheena --> [ 1d20=5 ]{32}
[17:49] <Alathon> (melee defnese)
[17:49] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+22+2
[17:49] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+22+2 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{27}
[17:49] <Sheena> (...)
[17:49] <Alathon> And connects
[17:49] <Alathon> roll 3d8+22+34
[17:49] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3d8+22+34 --> [ 3d8=18 ]{74}
[17:49] <Alathon> (no AP)
[17:50] <Sheena> (force field and armor in the way.)
[17:50] <Alathon> (nod)
[17:50] <Alathon> It shatters against the forcefield, but the field shatters as well.
[17:50] <Alathon> ??? is up.. one sec
[17:50] <Sheena> (canlced out or the rest gets past?)
[17:50] <Alathon> (cancelled out)
[17:50] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27-4
[17:50] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27-4 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{38}
[17:50] <Alathon> roll 1d20+22-4
[17:50] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+22-4 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{31}
[17:50] <Alathon> roll 1d20+17-4
[17:50] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+17-4 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{32}
[17:50] <Alathon> roll 1d20+12-4
[17:50] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+12-4 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{13}
[17:51] <Reis> (... Oh dear)

[17:53] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{47}
[17:53] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28
[17:53] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{47}
[17:53] <Alathon> wait a sec

[17:53] <Sheena> ...
[17:53] <Alathon> okay..
[17:54] <Alathon> lets see how much DR he has
[17:54] <Kuonji> (god damn it, I got distracted by RL shit)
[17:54] <Sheena> (we've been away from the dice for to long, It's clearly making up for lost time)
[17:54] <Alathon> well, roll your two rerolls
[17:54] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+20
[17:54] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{40}
[17:55] <Kuonji> fuck
[17:55] <Kuonji> it's 29
[17:55] <Kuonji> I typoed
[17:55] <Alathon> it's 34, you have it down on your sheet wrong ;p
[17:55] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+27
[17:55] <Reis> (Wow. Now that's a good reroll either way)
[17:55] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{38}
[17:55] <Alathon> either way, you dodged all four attacks
[17:55] <Kuonji> I do>
[17:55] <Kuonji> ?
[17:55] <Alathon> yeah
[17:55] <Alathon> you have a melee defense skill of 20, 7 dex, and a bace combat modifier of 8
(17/2)
[17:55] <Alathon> so it's actually +35
[17:55] <Alathon> anyways
[17:55] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[17:56] <Alathon> There's one angel near you, the wounded one
[17:56] <Alathon> The other two are in melee with Usagi and Sheena
[17:58] <Sheena> (i can do mutliy attacks with the blade since its melee right? Or would i need
to stack flurry on the iop as well?)
[17:59] <Alathon> (it's a speck attack, you'd need flurry)
[17:59] <Sheena> (fuck)
[18:00] <Reis> (Question in PM, Ala)
[18:01] <Alathon> (well, you could go around the one in your face and lance the one down the road)
[18:01] <Sheena> (ya)
[18:01] <Sheena> (was thinking that butchering the angle infront of me would be peacy kean tho.
Ohh well)
[18:02] * Reis glances back at the others, frowning, then glares at the angel. "Cartridge eject!"
Swordbreaker drops two cartridges from the revolver ring around the handguard, and Reis slashes
out for her angel's neck.
[18:02] <Reis> roll 1d20+30
[18:02] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{42}
[18:02] <Reis> (Sorry for the wait)
[18:03] <Alathon> roll 1d20+29 parry
[18:03] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+29 parry --> [ 1d20=11 ]{40}
[18:03] <Alathon> It tries its best to parry, but misses
[18:03] <Reis> (Vital spot?)

[18:59] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[18:59] <Alathon> only angel left is the one meleeing you
[19:00] <Sheena> (question, if im shooting right down on top of it, is a buster safe to use?)
[19:00] <Sheena> (sheena not really worried about a new tunnel being dug, just about civials
getting vaped)
[19:00] <Alathon> Yes
[19:00] <Alathon> if you fly up, you can definately do that
[19:00] <Alathon> won't flurry though, since you'll have to move
[19:01] <Alathon> .. and not too far up ;p
[19:01] <Sheena> "Looks like i should stop playing around"
[19:01] <Sheena> Dark Heart: lets shoot

[19:03] <Alathon> ...
[19:03] <Reis> (... Seconded)
[19:03] <Alathon> It lurches to the side as fast as it can, and gets outta the way
[19:04] <Alathon> anyways
[19:04] <Alathon> end of round, top of the order
[19:04] <Alathon> #1 countinues burning
[19:05] * Sheena ends up diging a new hole in the earth
[19:05] <Sheena> "xxxx!"
[19:05] <Sheena> (is there still another target after this guy?)
[19:05] <Reis> (There's someone tangling with Kuonji, though he might be dead by now)

[19:09] <Alathon> You jerk out of the way of all four attacks.
[19:09] <Reis> roll 1d20+26 Knowledge Arcane, what did Usagi just do?
[19:09] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+26 Knowledge Arcane, what did Usagi just do? --> [ 1d20=10 ]{36}
[19:10] <Alathon> unfortunately, there's really no way to know -- you haven't seen that spell
before. It could have been some sort of paralyzing or death attack tha failed, however.
[19:10] <Sheena> (is there another target after this angel? I wana test the breaker)
[19:10] <Alathon> anyways
[19:10] <Alathon> roll 1d20+4
[19:10] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{22}
[19:10] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[19:11] <Reis> (Question in PM)
[19:13] <Reis> (Hm. If I shoot UP at the angel, will a Spreading hit Sheena?)
[19:14] <Alathon> absolutely
[19:14] <Reis> (Damn)
[19:15] * Reis frowns as she examines the situation with Sheena, ejects the next two cartridges,
and flashes over to Sheena's position.
[19:15] <Reis> (Just ejecting and moving)
[19:16] <Reis> (I can't attack well, or I'll get in her crossfire. Bah)
[19:17] <Reis> (That's it for my turn)
[19:17] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28
[19:17] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{42}
[19:18] <Alathon> roll 6d8+6d6+47
[19:18] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 6d8+6d6+47 --> [ 6d8=36 6d6=23 ]{106}
[19:19] <Reis> (Blink)
[19:19] <Alathon> Out of nowhere, the last remaining angel is cut in half right through the belly.
[19:19] <Reis> (Remind me NOT to piss Kuonji off)
[19:19] * Reis blinks, and salutes Kuonji with her own blade, flashing back down to the ground.
[19:19] <Alathon> the cut is diagonal sideways, starting below it's right armpit and finishing a
bit above his left hip
[19:19] <Alathon> He then appears.
[19:19] <Alathon> Kuonji: "Fucker inside ran away."
[19:20] <Alathon> Kuonji looks around, then speaks: "How did things go out here?"
[19:20] <Sheena> "There's planenty more for us"
[19:20] * Sheena lands by Sakura.
[19:20] * Reis frowns. "Usagi-san took a severe injury, and that scheisskopf killed a few
civilians..."
[19:20] <Sheena> Dark Heart: Dark Impulse
[19:21] <Sheena> (triggered regen)
[19:21] * Reis moves around to the areas she ejected shells, and starts picking them up and
dropping them in her pockets.
[19:21] <Sheena> "The boss got a hurt but we took them out."
[19:21] * Sheena starts heading to usagi
[19:22] <Alathon> (nod)
[19:22] <Alathon> Usagi finishes healing herself, drops the bubble.
[19:22] <Alathon> and, end here
[19:22] * Reis will probably finish collecting her shells soon, and will then head over to Usagi,
pulling a few out of the sword and adjusting the order.
[19:22] * Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf
[19:24] <Alathon> alright.. that was a bit jerky, and I hated having to bail mid-game like that
to take a call
[19:25] <Alathon> but the battle went well enough, and I think the conversationw as.. at least
okay
[19:26] <Alathon> 3550 exp

Session 63

[12:09] <Alathon> Alright.. Ataru's had ten minutes, and said he'd be late, so lets get started
[12:10] <Alathon> we left off last week after a brief and moderately dangerous fight with three 'angels'
[12:10] * Yarrow is now known as Mani
[12:10] <Alathon> Usagi has dragged the party off to battle in the Alliance of Free States, in the city of Chicago
[12:11] <Alathon> On first blush this appears to be a terror strike of some sort; the entire horde isn't here, just several dozen hostiles wrecking up the place
[12:11] <Sheena> (and usagi kicked her own ass)
[12:12] <Alathon> (and then got her ass kicked too.. it wasn't a good fight for the firstborn of serenity)
[12:13] <Mani> (Firstborn? There are others? :) )
[12:13] <Sheena> (lest she gets to see what her crew deals with all the time)
[12:13] <Alathon> (not as far as any of us know ;p )
[12:13] <Mani> (Fostered out to the Kuonjis?)
[12:13] <Reis> (Ahhh, now that explains much)
[12:14] <Alathon> (Usagi: You were the best little sister I could have hoped for.. but there were security needs, so.."
[12:14] <Sheena> (ouch)
[12:15] <Alathon> Anyways.. the team checked out the embassy here and verified that it wasn't under attack or already trashed
[12:15] <Mani> ("Uh... I'm a guy." "Don't worry, the spell will reverse itself on your 50th birthday.")
[12:15] <Alathon> and Usagi is now directing the team to eradicate the UST forces still remaining in Chicago.
[12:16] <Alathon> Your first battle was with three of the heavily armored, large, two-handed sword wielding types
[12:16] <Alathon> (and dammit, ataru still isn't back)
[12:17] <Alathon> Anyways
[12:17] <Alathon> We'll pick up here
[12:17] <Reis> (Vital to the next bit?)
[12:17] <Alathon> (I suppose not)
[12:17] <Alathon> All three angels are down..
[12:17] <Alathon> Usagi finishes healing herself, and dispells the forcefield she'd erected.
[12:18] * Mani makes sure any angels near her aren't going to get back up.
[12:18] <Alathon> Several seconds after you behead each of them, their angelic forms waver and vanish.
[12:18] * Reis moves around finishing off some of them, just in case they regen.
[12:19] * Sheena floats back by usagi
[12:19] <Sheena> "You ok boss?"
[12:19] <Alathon> Two of them are revealed to be the large, fleshy type that cut a bus in half several months ago.
[12:19] <Alathon> Another looks.. more or less human.
[12:19] <Sheena> (magic on em?)
[12:19] <Alathon> Usagi looks decidedly angry, but her flesh is whole.
[12:20] * Reis sighs, looking around at the civilians who got blasted.
[12:20] <Alathon> You can tell it's whole, too; the massive leap attack slash she took earlier left behind a tear from shoulder to groin, and most of her left breast is exposed.
[12:20] <Sheena> (wonder what it will take for her to stop playing around and break out the black lightning of pwnt)
[12:20] <Alathon> There's still a red-pink line down her body, but it's fading even as you watch.
[12:21] <Alathon> She doesn't seem to have noticed, she's walking over to you.
[12:21] <Alathon> Usagi: "As okay as I can expect to be after being practically cut in half."
[12:21] * Mani comes over to Usagi.
[12:22] * Sheena triggers dark impluse again healing some more
[12:22] <Alathon> Usagi, to everyone: "Good job, by the way."
[12:23] * Reis rejoins the main group, reloading her sword.
[12:23] <Alathon> Usagi, frowning: "I certainly didn't do my best.."
[12:23] <Mani> "I think I should stay closer to you from now on. We know they've had orders to target you in the past. And, mm, could you use a pin or somesuch for your clothing?"
[12:23] * Ataru is now known as Kuonji
[12:24] <Alathon> Usagi looks down, then looks up quickly to see how many people are staring at her.
[12:24] <Reis> (Heyas Ataru)
[12:24] <Alathon> Thanksfully, it's pretty much nobody other than the team; everyone else has better places to be.
[12:24] <Alathon> Even so, she has a bit of color high on her cheeks.
[12:24] <Alathon> She pulls the uniform closed, looking decidedly irked.
[12:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "Lovely."
[12:25] * Mani offers a crystal 'hook' that should serve as a safety pin.
[12:25] <Alathon> SHe accepts it, and tries to work it into the uniform for a moment, before giving up.
[12:25] * Sheena pulls lose her big cloke and holds it up,
[12:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "Damn, I should know better than to try to do that to armorcloth."
[12:25] <Alathon> Usagi pauses.
[12:25] <Sheena> "Here, this can cover you"
[12:25] <Alathon> Usagi shakes her head.
[12:26] <Mani> "That was armorcloth?"
[12:26] <Alathon> (she's wearing the same uniform as the team)
[12:26] <Mani> (Ah.)
[12:26] <Mani> "Sakura, do you have a spare uniform in storage space?"
[12:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yeah.. hey, Sakura, you got a spare in your hair?"
[12:27] * Sheena just swings the cape out hwat back on and looks over the bodies
[12:27] <Kuonji> "Yeah, I should, hang on."
[12:27] * Kuonji roots around for a bit before pulling out a spare uniform
[12:27] <Sheena> "Just noticed something odd"
[12:27] <Alathon> Usagi will accept it when offered... then vanish.
[12:27] <Mani> (Don't look at Sheena when she puts the cloak on, Reis! :) )
[12:28] <Alathon> her ripped uniform flops onto the ground near where she was standing... and a few seconds later, she appears again, wearing Kuonji's spare.
[12:28] <Sheena> "This is the first group of outerdim enimes we downed that are not loaded with magical crap"
[12:28] <Reis> (Heh, I won't! :P )
[12:28] <Alathon> WHich is rather tight on her, but better than her busted one by far.
[12:28] * Reis blinks, looking over. "They're not, Sheena-san?"
[12:28] <Alathon> Usagi, a little distracted: "Damn. Nothing?"
[12:28] <Mani> (Usagi: "Enh... Too tight in the chest. And too loose in the waist.")
[12:29] <Kuonji> "That was a neat trick."
[12:29] <Alathon> She leans over and grabs the busted one, and rolls it up into a ball.
[12:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "Thanks.. could you stash this?"
[12:29] <Alathon> She offers it to Kuonji.
[12:30] * Kuonji nods and stores it away
[12:30] <Kuonji> "Of course Usagi-sama."
[12:30] <Sheena> "Nothing that's showing up as magical to me"
[12:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "Thanks."
[12:31] <Alathon> Usagi pauses, then looks at Mani.
[12:31] <Alathon> Usagi: "And.. that might not be a bad idea."
[12:31] <Alathon> She then looks at the nearest fallen 'angel', and walks over to examine it.
[12:31] * Mani nods and accompanies her.
[12:31] <Alathon> It's one of the really big aliens
[12:32] <Kuonji> "So... do you think this is more merc action, or are we now just getting the psychopaths?"
[12:32] <Alathon> It's quite dead.. it was armed with some sort of heavy metal sword, and thick metal breastplate, greaves, vambraces, and hte like.
[12:32] <Alathon> Usagi, not looking back: "Maybe a little of both?"
[12:33] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'd think any dimension-faring people would have the good sense to pick a fight in a smaller town if they were just out to get off on violence.."
[12:33] * Mani nods.
[12:33] <Mani> "I was thinking that, too. And also, why would they disguise themselves as angels in that case?"
[12:33] * Reis frowns. "Probably closer to mercenary... I don't think they have any reason to dress as angels on their own."
[12:35] <Alathon> Usagi tucks in her new shirt, re-attaches the connections to the power pack, etc..
[12:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "Maybe it's part of their contract?"
[12:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "The illusion, I mean.."
[12:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "The UST has an illusion of godliness to maintain internally, after all."
[12:37] <Mani> "Sure, but that still implies that they're still working as mercenaries."
[12:37] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[12:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "Well.. the original intel was that they'd be hiring the scum of the multiverse, right?"
[12:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "I suppose this --"
[12:38] <Alathon> Usagi motions to the city.
[12:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "Is what they'd be useful for, other than mass actions that depend on numbers.."
[12:38] * Mani frowns.
[12:39] <Mani> (We never did check out the original ad, did we?)
[12:39] <Reis> (Heh)
[12:39] <Alathon> (I don't think so)
[12:39] <Mani> "We forgot to check the original ad..."
[12:39] <Alathon> Usagi: "Either way, people are dying while we chat. Sheena, another wide area search."
[12:39] <Reis> (To be fair, the classifieds were so big we'd be there for centuries)
[12:39] * Mani sighs and shakes her head.
[12:41] * Sheena brings dark heart around her and points it up letting the search rip
[12:41] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+12 Wide area search
[12:41] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+12 Wide area search --> [ 1d20=8 ]{20}

[12:44] <Sheena> "Im picking up threee major groups left, two of them are fighting the riders"
[12:45] <Sheena> "the last pack is around half a mile from our location
[12:45] <Sheena> "No one slowing them down at the moment"
[12:45] <Mani> "I imagine we'll take the one that's unopposed, unless one of the others in much closer?"
[12:45] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[12:46] <Alathon> Usagi will ask for (and presumably get) directions, then lead the party in that direction.
[12:46] <Mani> "How large is the pack?"
[12:46] * Reis follows the group, teleporting to keep up if necessary.
[12:47] <Kuonji> "Shall I move ahead?"
[12:47] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[12:47] <Alathon> Usagi: "Do so.
[12:47] <Alathon> Usagi breaks into a quick jog.
[12:47] * Sheena follows on wing
[12:47] <Alathon> Usagi, along the way: "I wonder.. why they're... looting stuff here?"
[12:47] <Sheena> "Current count is six or so"
[12:48] * Kuonji turns invisible and takes the lead
[12:48] <Kuonji> (actually, I'll take to the rooftops if possible)
[12:48] <Mani> "Hard to say without knowing what they're looting, but works of art are valuable, even in the bar."
[12:49] * Reis frowns. "Maybe the UST wants it? Compensating with something the mercenaries care about?"
[12:51] <Mani> "Hmmm. Pretty small numbers if they're searching for a specific item."
[12:51] * Mani shakes her head.
[12:51] <Mani> "No, I think we'll have to see what it is they're taking before we can come up with any reasonable ideas."
[12:51] <Alathon> Usagi: "What could.. they be.. looking for.. here?"
[12:51] <Mani> (Does she seem out of breath?)
[12:52] * Reis nods. "True, but they might be exchanging things of local monetary value for more life force... You're right though, Mani-san."
[12:52] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+15
[12:52] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{25}

[12:54] <Kuonji> Text: Additional hostile on roof attempting to hide, permission to engage?

[12:55] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{16}

[12:55] <Kuonji> (dr)
[12:55] <Kuonji> (per session, not day, right?)

[12:56] <Mani> "I don't think there's anything more important he needs to do instead."
[12:57] <Alathon> Usagi taps something back on her comm, slowing a little as she does it.
[12:57] <Kuonji> Text: At least two armed with firearms, and two with swords
[12:58] <Mani> "Firearms? That's new."

[13:00] <Kuonji> Text: No clue, they're just shaped a bit like rifles and are obviously not melee weapons
[13:00] * Reis frowns. "Sounds like they might be using their own technology."
[13:01] <Alathon> You're getting pretty close to the target now
[13:01] <Kuonji> (me or them?)
[13:01] <Alathon> Any preparation for this fight youw anna do should be done in the next few seconds.. you're only like two turns away
[13:01] <Alathon> and you're there

[13:02] * Mani activates her armor and energizes her swords.

[13:03] <Reis> (All righty, starting up the force field)
[13:04] <Alathon> Almost none, everyone's gone inside by now, you see a lot of people looking out the corners or edges of windows.
[13:04] <Alathon> There are corpses on the ground here and there.. or badly wounded civs.
[13:04] <Alathon> which mode is dark heart in?

[13:12] <Mani> (You know, Al's just waiting for the exclamations of surprise when an angel comes out swinging a giant arch. :) )
[13:12] <Alathon> The party isn't around the last corner, so right now, the only hostile you have LoS on is the sniper
[13:12] <Reis> (Hah!)
[13:13] <Reis> (Which goes first, me or the Swordies?)
[13:14] <Alathon> (one sec)

[13:15] <Kuonji> (WTF)
[13:15] <Mani> (But they aren't on the scene yet, are they?)
[13:15] <Alathon> (so, Kuonji goes first
[13:15] <Mani> (Of course, there's always simul.)

[13:21] <Mani> (Usagi?)
[13:21] <Kuonji> (when you said kuonji is first, I thought you were prompting me to act)
[13:21] <Reis> (Yay I'm not last!)
[13:21] <Alathon> oh right, Usagi ;p
[13:21] <Mani> (I still think simultaneous actions in case of ties is more interesting. :) )
[13:21] <Alathon> okay so.. actually Usagi is first ;p
[13:22] <Alathon> Her first act is to shoot another one of those green rays at the sniper.
[13:22] <Kuonji> (sigh, if I need to make a new attack roll, it better not be worse then the first ;_;)
[13:22] <Alathon> nah, we can go with that one
[13:23] <Kuonji> (also, I wish I could do a Dragoon style jump... that'd be awesome... go up for a round, then come down the next one XD)
[13:23] <Reis> (Think about it this way - you've got a good shot of rolling better, considering it was a low roll right there :P )

[13:25] <Mani> (I guess that wasn't a save, then...)
[13:25] <Alathon> Anyways, Kuonji leaps up, then comes almost straight down at the angel. Except nobody sees this.

[13:32] <Alathon> (that's not his ranged dodge)
[13:32] <Reis> (I see :P )
[13:32] <Alathon> The sniper seems to hesitate for a moemnt, before returning fire at sheena.

[13:51] <Alathon> (you still hit)
[13:51] <Alathon> (same way Kenshin does)
[13:51] <Kuonji> roll 6d8+47
[13:51] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 6d8+47 --> [ 6d8=28 ]{75}
[13:51] <Reis> (And also, wow, low anti-melee dodge. Sweeeeet)
[13:52] <Mani> (Why do you think he's up on a roof? :) )
[13:52] <Reis> (Yeah, there he goes)
[13:52] <Alathon> And the sniper goes down in a spray of blood.
[13:52] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[13:52] * Mani checks around the corner.
[13:52] <Alathon> They look to have put together a semi-organized defensive line
[13:53] <Alathon> One angel is in the back-ish
[13:53] <Alathon> In front of him and to the left and right are two Sword-angels
[13:53] <Alathon> You can see another two angels with guns taking cover against the walls of buildings.
[13:54] <Mani> (How far away are the various angels?)
[13:54] <Alathon> they're all about two hundred feet down the street
[13:56] <Sheena> "Can you spot any civialns around them?"
[13:56] <Alathon> There are no runners.. a few bodies.
[13:56] * Mani frowns.
[13:57] * Mani calls, "Take out the ranged attackers first."
[13:57] * Mani looks at Usagi.
[13:58] <Alathon> Usagi: "I took a shot at the one in the center, he look hurt?"
[13:58] * Mani checks.
[13:58] <Reis> "Mani-san, if there are no civilians, I can hit pretty much all of them simultaneously."
[13:58] <Mani> "So long as you don't do much damage to the buildings."
[13:59] <Kuonji> (ask sakura, he actually saw it :P)
[13:59] <Sheena> "Same here, but it will leave me open for there counter"
[13:59] * Sheena has a pair of yellow and red shells in her hand marked hazardious
[14:00] <Alathon> (time is passing.. act or don't)
[14:01] <Mani> (Well, I checked to see if the one she attacked looked hurt and was waiting for an answer.)
[14:01] <Alathon> Not particularly hurt, though it's 200 ft away
[14:01] <Mani> "Not that I can tell from here."
[14:01] * Mani holds action.
[14:01] <Mani> (Well, whatever she has left. :) )
[14:02] <Alathon> Sheena is up
[14:02] * Sheena renews her protection
[14:02] <Sheena> (done_
[14:02] <Alathon> (hm?)
[14:02] <Alathon> (you can't just recast the shield)
[14:02] <Alathon> (it's already cast, and down; it'll regen in it's own time)
[14:02] <Sheena> (err ok)
[14:02] <Alathon> (err duh, a forcefield being bought with magic doesn't add extra powres to it)
[14:03] <Sheena> (So i still wait on recasting it?)
[14:03] <Mani> (If there's nothing else you want to do.)
[14:04] <Alathon> (you don't have to recast it
[14:04] <Sheena> "If we could set up a defence here me and reis can open up on them"
[14:04] <Alathon> (it'll regen automatically over the rounds it's down)
[14:05] <Sheena> "Load cartrage"
[14:05] <Mani> "Can you combine an area attack? And, again, without doing too much damage to the buildings?"
[14:05] <Reis> (Sheens, it'll have to be Spreading rather than AoE)
[14:06] <Sheena> (how wide is the street?)
[14:06] <Reis> (I'm counting something in the range of 20d8. Probably not)
[14:06] <Alathon> (like 30ish feet wide)
[14:07] <Sheena> (then the spreading sheena all ready has would cover it right? Or is a shell needed)
[14:07] <Alathon> (spreading covers it)
[14:07] <Alathon> (well.. it'd only be +1 spreading)
[14:08] <Sheena> "I need a moment to recover my protection, but.."
[14:08] <Reis> (And, don't forget the buildings thing)
[14:08] * Sheena says hello to the princess target
[14:08] <Alathon> (so it could only hit 1 extra target)
[14:08] <Reis> (Isn't that one extra target per rank?)
[14:08] <Reis> (Ie, per rank of the attack?)
[14:08] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+26
[14:08] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{37}
[14:09] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+21
[14:09] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{26}
[14:09] <Alathon> Are you going around the corner, or flyign up?
[14:09] <Sheena> (Shooting from the corner, its normal shots not the beam.)
[14:09] <Sheena> AP'ed 1
[14:10] <Alathon> the energy shots fly out
[14:11] <Alathon> (this corner is getting really crowded)
[14:11] <Alathon> that's three people peeking around it)
[14:11] <Sheena> (sheena will fly up next time then(
[14:11] <Reis> (Heh)
[14:12] <Alathon> The gun angels don't seem to do anything.. but it's a fair bet the archangel did something, 'cuz suddenly the wood of the storefront is steaming and dessicating.. and so is everyone nearby
[14:12] <Alathon> roll 20d6
[14:12] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 20d6 --> [ 20d6=66 ]{66}
[14:12] <Mani> "Let's not bunch up too much."
[14:12] <Reis> (Wow. Good thing I didn't go there yet)
[14:12] <Alathon> DC 25 fort save for half
[14:12] <Alathon> everyone eats it except Kuonji
[14:13] <Reis> (Eh? But I didn't even go up to the corner yet?)
[14:13] <Mani> roll 1d20+13
[14:13] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{27}
[14:13] <Reis> roll 1d20+9 Fort
[14:13] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+9 Fort --> [ 1d20=6 ]{15}
[14:13] <Mani> (I seem to recall armor works against this spell)
[14:13] <Alathon> (it's a pretty wide radius)
[14:13] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+6
[14:13] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{26}
[14:13] <Reis> (CT armour applies?)
[14:13] <Alathon> (and yes, armor applies)
[14:13] <Sheena> (woot)
[14:13] <Alathon> (not CT armor)
[14:14] <Sheena> "xXxxx! not this shit again!"
[14:14] <Alathon> roll 1d20+13 Usagi
[14:14] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+13 Usagi --> [ 1d20=18 ]{31}
[14:14] <Alathon> so, 66 pre-armor damage to reis, and 33 pre-armor damage to mani/sheena/usagi
[14:14] * Reis opens her mouth in a soundless scream.
[14:14] <Alathon> Usagi whimpers in pain.
[14:15] <Sheena> (Sheena and mani have been there done that..)
[14:15] <Reis> (I lost nearly half my HP in one thwack, of course it hurt)
[14:15] <Alathon> Reis, you're up.
[14:15] * Mani glances at Usagi.
[14:16] <Alathon> She's cringing, with her eyes closed.
[14:16] * Reis teleports to the OTHER CORNER, and peeks around it to get a view of the attackers.
[14:16] <Mani> (Does she look badly hurt?)
[14:16] <Reis> (I presume I see them, so...)
[14:16] <Alathon> She looks like she's hurting, but not about ot keel over.. it's hard to judge though, this isn't an open wound after all.
[14:17] <Alathon> actually, if you want, you could juse your Judge this round
[14:17] <Mani> (Me?)
[14:17] <Alathon> Reis, you see what Mani saw -- a defensive formation of three angels in the middle of the street, with one angel across thew ay diagonally taking cover against a storefront.. and presumably the other two you can't see from this angle on your side of the street.
[14:17] <Alathon> (yeah)
[14:17] <Mani> (Ok.)
[14:18] * Reis sticks behind the corner for cover, and unleashes a burst of ribbons at all the angels in the street, taking some effort to keep the burst high and ABOVE the bodies.
[14:18] <Reis> (Any penalty for trying to keep it highish?)
[14:19] * Mani says softly, "I know it hurts, but try not to close your eyes in battle. It's a really bad idea."
[14:19] <Alathon> nah
[14:19] <Alathon> She opens them immediately, looking almost horrified.
[14:20] <Reis> (All righty, then, aiming for the heads)
[14:20] <Alathon> fire it up
[14:20] <Reis> roll 1d20+33
[14:20] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{44}
[14:21] <Alathon> Nobody dodges.. and they don't have to.. all the energy attacks slam into what looks to be a backwards-slanted plane of force, spending their fury on the air.
[14:21] <Sheena> "Shit, so thats what it is. They got some major fields up as well"
[14:22] <Reis> (Bah. Roll damage to down the field a tad?)
[14:22] <Reis> (How many was I shooting at? I've got like 50 ribbons inbound at max)
[14:22] <Alathon> The sword angels hold their position.. and as the round ends, Sheena's dozens of magical globes slam into it as well, without affect.
[14:22] <Mani> (Assuming it's a barrier that takes damage.)
[14:22] * Reis frowns, ducking back a bit more, and eyeballs the position a bit more.
[14:24] <Sheena> (that thing dont even get damaged?)
[14:24] <Mani> "Can you tell if it's both sides or just this one, Sheena?"
[14:24] <Alathon> (nope)
[14:25] * Reis frowns. "Hm... I think I slammed into one of those. I don't think it's breakable, but it's just a wall."
[14:26] <Alathon> (they can't hear you unless you're shouting)
[14:26] <Alathon> (you're across the street)
[14:26] <Reis> (Righto, well, I can't hear them asking, so... we mutter at ourselves :P )
[14:26] <Mani> (Was that nope to the barrier taking damage or to Sheena being able to tell about both sides?)
[14:26] <Alathon> (nope to the barrier taking damage, as far as sheena can tell)
[14:27] <Alathon> (I pm'd the rest ot sheena)
[14:27] <Sheena> "It looks like a slanted wall of force, angled back over there heads
[14:27] <Reis> roll 1d20+26 Knowledge Arcane to analyze?
[14:27] <Alathon> anyways
[14:27] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+26 Knowledge Arcane to analyze? --> [ 1d20=16 ]{42}
[14:27] <Sheena> "Dont think our attacked even scratched it,"
[14:27] <Alathon> Usagi heals herself
[14:27] <Alathon> roll 5d8+12
[14:27] <Mani> "Is there one behind them, too? And are they protected from attacks directily above?"
[14:27] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5d8+12 --> [ 5d8=13 ]{25}
[14:28] <Alathon> Sakura, you're up
[14:28] <Sheena> "Its slanted above them"
[14:28] <Sheena> "I can't tell behind"
[14:28] <Sheena> "It's a bad idea to try from this side, and we're open to his attacks"
[14:28] <Mani> "Find out. Attack from long range."
[14:29] <Sheena> "I just said its covering them from above as well"
[14:29] <Mani> "I know. I was talking about behind."
[14:29] <Reis> (Uh... attack from long range? In urban terrain?)
[14:29] <Mani> (Angling down?)
[14:29] <Reis> (Only long-range attacks we can do would be straight up or down)
[14:29] <Reis> (Ah, indeed)
[14:30] <Sheena> "Easy enought for me, waiting here is leaving you and the boss open however, why not move and attack from the buildings? "
[14:30] <Mani> (We are on a street, after all.)
[14:30] <Reis> (True, though I dunno, is the defensive formation backed up against a building?)
[14:30] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[14:30] <Reis> (Or are they in the open?)
[14:30] <Mani> "Good idea, if we can get in."
[14:30] <Alathon> (their position is not backed up against anything as far as you can tell
[14:31] <Reis> (All righty... Excellent. And Sheens has the speed to get to long range without difficulty)
[14:31] <Mani> (Does it look like we could get close by going into/through buildings?)
[14:32] <Alathon> (not particularly, they'd have to be interconnected)
[14:32] <Alathon> And
[14:32] <Alathon> each round is six seconds
[14:32] <Alathon> you've done your talking for this one
[14:33] * Mani says to Usagi, "We should move out of spell range."
[14:33] * Mani waits for her.
[14:34] <Mani> (That's it for now)
[14:34] <Alathon> She takes a moment to thinka bout it, then nods.
[14:34] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[14:35] <Mani> (She hasn't used her movement for this round, so she can go now, yes?)
[14:35] * Sheena turns her com on and slips it into her fuku top
[14:35] <Sheena> "My coms on, ill move around, meet ya there"
[14:35] * Sheena flys back and up to the roofs to circle around
[14:35] <Sheena> (keeping out of sight,)
[14:35] <Alathon> (... uh, what?)
[14:35] <Alathon> (how do you keep out of sight flying around on roofs?)
[14:36] <Sheena> There tall buildings right?
[14:36] <Alathon> (2-3 stories)
[14:36] <Sheena> just how theheck do they see me from the street with buildings in the way?
[14:36] <Alathon> (so, you stay above the street, below the rooftops?)
[14:36] <Reis> (Well, she can just fly through the side streets)
[14:36] * Reis pulls out her comm and asks what the current plan is.
[14:36] <Reis> (Since as Al said we can't hear each other :P )
[14:37] <Sheena> (Yaaa, Its not like sheen'a flying 10 feet aboove the builds right next to the street, It would quite simple to break there los)
[14:37] <Alathon> ((okay
[14:37] <Alathon> (then don't say you're going ON the roofs)
[14:37] <Alathon> (say you're staying below them)
[14:37] <Alathon> And, what're you doing, circling around behind these angels?
[14:38] <Alathon> Okay, you can go pretty fast without breaking the sound barrier.. just not too fast or you won't be able to corner in the space of streets
[14:38] <Alathon> even so, you can make it down a block and maybe halways up one.. say you're halfway to being around to their backs
[14:39] <Alathon> The gun angels don't fire
[14:40] <Alathon> But a glowling, burning cloud appears around Mani and Usagi
[14:40] <Alathon> Shot through with flashes of read and white, it's smokey and choking, and burns
[14:41] <Kuonji> (ouch)
[14:41] <Alathon> roll 4d6
[14:41] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 4d6 --> [ 4d6=12 ]{12}
[14:41] <Mani> (Were we able to move at all? Like I said, Usagi healed herself but could still move for that round, yes?)
[14:41] <Sheena> (cloud kill? fuck)
[14:41] <Alathon> DC 23 reflex for half
[14:41] <Alathon> (she didn't move)
[14:41] <Sheena> (drag her ass out of htere)
[14:41] <Alathon> (Incendiary cloud, actually)
[14:41] <Mani> roll 1d20+13
[14:41] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{14}
[14:41] <Alathon> well, that 12 damage doesn't exactly penetrate your armor ;p
[14:42] <Alathon> roll 1d20+11
[14:42] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{27}
[14:42] <Alathon> and Usagi seems to have avoided breathing the sparks in or anything.
[14:42] <Alathon> embers, rather
[14:42] * Mani grabs Usagi and heads away at Speed 1.
[14:42] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[14:42] <Mani> (Using that held action now.)
[14:43] <Alathon> hmm.. with your strength, I'll allow it
[14:43] <Alathon> She struggles for halfa second before figuring out your thinking, and goes iwth it.
[14:43] * Reis vanishes, teleporting to on top of a building behind them and crouching low so as to be covered, and not spotted.
[14:44] <Alathon> gimme a hide roll
[14:44] * Reis pulls out her comm and asks what the current plan is.
[14:44] <Alathon> (just dex if you don't have it)
[14:44] <Reis> roll 1d20+15
[14:44] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{16}
[14:44] <Reis> DR.
[14:44] <Reis> roll 1d20+15
[14:44] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{32}
[14:44] <Mani> (Ah, you just narrowly avoided that weak patch on the roof. ;) )
[14:44] <Reis> (Well, there goes my DR for today. On the plus side, I might just avoid being pounded :P )
[14:46] <Alathon> Alright
[14:46] <Mani> (Do we get out of the cloud quickly, btw? Not about to talk while we're still in it.)
[14:46] <Alathon> The sword angels hold their position
[14:46] <Alathon> Yes, it was only around twenty feet to get out of it
[14:46] <Alathon> As you leave if, if you look back, you can see buildings smouldering and igniting.
[14:47] <Mani> "Damn. It's clear those barriers are two-way, so only their mage can use indirect spells."
[14:47] <Alathon> Usagi coughs a couple times.
[14:47] <Alathon> usagi: "If it's what I think it is, yeah."
[14:47] <Alathon> Usagi: "Maybe we should just back the hell off and wait for some backup."
[14:47] <Mani> "We either find a way around them or we wait for them to go down. Or for that mage to burn their cover down... Or, we could teleport in."
[14:48] <Alathon> Usagi heals herself again.
[14:48] <Alathon> roll 2d8+10
[14:48] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2d8+10 --> [ 2d8=9 ]{19}
[14:48] <Reis> (Does anyone recieve my comm call and tell me what everyone's doing?)
[14:48] <Mani> "If we just wait, they may just finish gathering loot and then teleport home."
[14:48] <Alathon> Usagi frowns, a little angrily.
[14:49] * Mani puts Usagi down after they've travelled a distance that seems safe from further spells.
[14:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "I could put up one of those barriers for us to use for cover, but it wouldn't block indirect spells.."
[14:49] * Mani uses the warped wood as a guide to the mage's range.
[14:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "And we still haven't seen the other three gunners fire."
[14:50] * Mani checks her comm.
[14:50] <Alathon> The warping seems to go a bit over 50 feet.
[14:50] <Mani> Comm: "We don't have one yet."
[14:50] <Alathon> Sakura, you're up
[14:50] <Kuonji> (hmm)
[14:50] <Reis> Com: "Sheena-san went off to the side... is she moving around to the back? I'm presently in position behind the angels, they don't seem to have seen me."
[14:51] <Mani> Com: "Yes. She's checking if their rear is protected."
[14:51] <Reis> (And, OOCly, it'd be very useful to know that Usagi can cast that same spell :P )
[14:51] <Mani> (Tell me when I can't talk any more this round, Alathon.)
[14:51] <Alathon> Are you texting or talking?
[14:51] <Reis> (I'm talking)
[14:51] <Sheena> (...)
[14:51] <Reis> (Whispering, really)
[14:51] <Sheena> (!)
[14:51] <Reis> "Understood, I'm at a shorter range, I can open fire but it'll expose me to counterattacks."
[14:52] * Mani asks Usagi, "Is that spell only a single plane?"
[14:53] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yes, but you can angle it however you want, and it'll block anything short of disentegration attacks.. or powerful dispelling magic."
[14:53] <Mani> Com: "Let me know if you see any alleys that look like they may lead into the shielded area."
[14:53] <Reis> (Do I?)
[14:54] <Sheena> (its Chicago.. there's a TON. Well now days at lest :P)
[14:54] <Sheena> (we got alleys going every fucking way)
[14:54] <Alathon> (unfortunately, this is neo-chicago)
[14:54] <Sheena> (unless the great lakes are gone its a flood plane, AKA alleys)
[14:54] <Mani> (So, any neo-alleys, then? ;) )
[14:54] <Alathon> (and this is a previously prosperous commercial district.. there's just chunks of shops
[14:55] <Mani> "This would be a great time to have Enigma around..."
[14:56] <Reis> (And giving him that gun of theirs would help, too :P )
[14:56] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[14:56] <Alathon> (eh, it's a straight 3d8 gun)
[14:56] <Alathon> (well 3d8 AP+1)
[14:56] <Mani> (So... no alleys?)
[14:56] <Reis> (Ah, the +10 was from Massive Damage?)
[14:57] <Alathon> No obvious ways through the block of buildings Sheena is circling
[14:57] <Reis> (None I can see either?)
[14:57] <Alathon> There's nothing closer than the next main street
[14:58] * Reis reports that then
[14:58] <Mani> "Unless you have a better idea, let's keep moving around the block. We might find a way through a building. If you were to teleport all of us in, we could probably take out the mage quickly, but would be open to counterattacks from the others."
[14:59] <Alathon> Usagi: "Fine by me!"
[14:59] <Alathon> Usagi keeps moving.
[14:59] * Mani will stick with Usagi.
[14:59] <Reis> (Heh, I guess nobody saw fit to tell Reis that Usagi can cast the spell. Ah well, no uber-cover)
[15:00] <Mani> (Two-way uber cover.)
[15:00] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[15:00] <Reis> (I can duck around the side of it - not PERFECT cover, but, it will cause them some trouble ;) )
[15:00] <Mani> (And our opponent can cast around them.)
[15:01] * Sheena returns dark heart to blasting mode and moves into place
[15:01] <Mani> (I'm kind of surprised Sheena can't see the walls.)
[15:01] <Sheena> (sheena can)
[15:01] <Sheena> (i kinda pointed it out what it was when the shots bounced)
[15:02] <Alathon> alright
[15:02] <Mani> (So, wouldn't she know if there was one behind them, too?)
[15:02] <Reis> (Then, feel free to report whether or not it's one-sided ;) )
[15:02] <Alathon> you can take a single shot this round if you want, sheena
[15:02] <Sheena> (once she's behidn them to see, yes)
[15:02] <Sheena> (kinda hard to tell from the first side)
[15:03] <Sheena> (Are the shields back iup?)
[15:03] <Sheena> (sheena's that is)
[15:03] <Alathon> one next round
[15:03] <Alathon> this was the third since they were knocked down
[15:03] <Sheena> (none right now?)
[15:03] <Alathon> yeah
[15:03] <Sheena> (crap)
[15:04] * Reis glances back, and presumably sees when Sheena takes her position? Where is said position, high up and way way back?
[15:04] <Alathon> actually, sheena
[15:04] <Alathon> hide
[15:04] <Alathon> er, hide roll
[15:05] <Reis> (Oh dear.)
[15:05] <Sheena> with a building in the way? and down the block? damn ninja angels
[15:05] <Alathon> (wait
[15:05] <Alathon> (you don't get LoS on them?
[15:05] <Alathon> (then you don't know what the plane of force looks like
[15:06] <Sheena> (oy)
[15:06] <Alathon> Okay
[15:06] <Alathon> where exactly did you stop?
[15:06] <Alathon> and have you looked to see what the barrier looks like?
[15:07] <Sheena> (ok, sheena not in the open yet, since she had to move so much
[15:07] <Alathon> okay
[15:07] <Sheena> ill peak/action next turn
[15:07] <Alathon> Nobody has LoS on the angels except reis, so only sees what happens.
[15:08] <Sheena> (dark heart switchs back, done)
[15:08] <Alathon> (back to what?)
[15:08] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[15:09] * Reis sends out a comm message: "The angel just cast a spell, no visible effect."
[15:10] * Reis tries to draw a bead on the angels. (Aka, aiming)
[15:10] <Alathon> *nod*
[15:10] <Reis> "I've been spotted! Closing contact!"
[15:10] * Reis slips the comm away.
[15:11] <Mani> "Let's get to the back so we can support her if there's no shield there."
[15:15] <Sheena> (hmm?)
[15:15] <Sheena> (its not my turn)
[15:16] <Alathon> no
[15:16] <Alathon> end of round, top of the order
[15:17] <Alathon> Usagi heals Sheena the rest of the way
[15:17] <Alathon> roll 2d8+10
[15:17] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2d8+10 --> [ 2d8=7 ]{17}
[15:17] <Alathon> er
[15:17] <Alathon> no
[15:17] <Alathon> Mani
[15:17] <Mani> (Well, that'll do it.)
[15:18] <Mani> (Is it much faster if I carry Usagi, btw?)
[15:18] <Alathon> Yes
[15:18] <Alathon> you can only move like.. half speed
[15:18] <Alathon> but that's still faster than her
[15:19] <Mani> "May I carry you again? It'll be faster."
[15:19] <Alathon> it'll take you three rounds to get around.
[15:19] <Alathon> Usagi: "Alright."
[15:19] * Mani does so.
[15:19] <Sheena> (the boss is begin a re let down so far)
[15:20] <Kuonji> (can you repeat that in english?)
[15:20] <Mani> (As what, a fighter? She never claimed to be one.)
[15:22] <Kuonji> ("Are you sure the black moon family was that big a threat? I mean, you've been a little... well, underwhelming...")
[15:22] <Alathon> Anyways
[15:22] <Alathon> Sakura, you're up
[15:26] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+20
[15:26] <Alathon> (roll hide)
[15:26] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{21}

[15:26] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+20
[15:26] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{26}
[15:26] <Kuonji> (T_T)
[15:26] <Alathon> alright
[15:26] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[15:26] <Mani> (Hm. I'm tempted to send a text message but realize there's no way I can do that while running as fast as I can while carrying a princess. :) )
[15:26] <Alathon> Your forcefields are back up
[15:27] * Sheena takes a look
[15:27] <Sheena> (spot reis, there set up?)
[15:27] <Reis> (Does Sheena see me, or do I see Sheena?)
[15:27] <Alathon> You see sheena, sheena is looking the wrongw ay to see you
[15:27] <Alathon> and, roll your hide sheena
[15:27] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+5
[15:27] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{22}
[15:27] <Sheena> (wow, not bad)
[15:28] <Alathon> Alright
[15:28] <Alathon> the gun angels are up
[15:28] <Reis> (Huh, the dice don't hate someone :P )
[15:28] <Alathon> and lets see
[15:28] <Alathon> only one of them notices sheena, and unloads at her
[15:28] <Alathon> albeit at a penalty for the cover
[15:28] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+29-2-4
[15:28] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+29-2-4 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{34}, [ 1d20=16 ]{39}
[15:28] <Alathon> roll 1d20+24-2-4

[15:29] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+14-2-4 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{23}
[15:29] <Alathon> (... okay, go ahead?)
[15:29] <Reis> (I don't think she's gonna need to hide after all :P )
[15:30] <Reis> (Or rather, get the chance)
[15:30] <Alathon> you can attack or whatever, but that angel is gonna take a shot regardless
[15:30] <Sheena> (ok)
[15:30] <Sheena> (full attack?)
[15:30] <Alathon> (yes)
[15:31] <Sheena> Com: Is the street clear? I got a shot, releaseing saftys
[15:31] <Reis> (You don't see any of us, and Sakura never answers his comm anyway :P )
[15:32] <Alathon> Apparently nobody answers immediately
[15:32] <Mani> (I can't answer, but Usagi could.)
[15:32] <Alathon> if you're gonna wait for answers that's gonna mean waiting until next round
[15:32] <Reis> (Reis is a bit busy with the ones who see HER :P )
[15:32] <Kuonji> Text: I'm on the building behind the angels
[15:32] <Alathon> (Usagi doesn't know, she's not there)
[15:32] <Kuonji> Text: try not to level it
[15:32] * Sheena snaps out two shells and blases with power, (max spell, targeting the middle of the group)
[15:33] <Mani> (Well, I figured Sheena was asking if WE were in the way.)
[15:33] <Sheena> ROll 1d20+30 EAT IT
[15:33] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+30 EAT IT --> [ 1d20=6 ]{36}

[15:34] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+25 buster EAT IT --> [ 1d20=16 ]{41}
[15:34] <Mani> ("What do you mean, they store the city's oil supply beneath this street?!?")
[15:34] <Alathon> (which shells?)
[15:34] <Reis> (That's if she critfails)
[15:34] <Alathon> anyways
[15:34] <Sheena> Damage, It's all ready AP'ed
[15:34] <Sheena> Dark heart: Obsidian Buster
[15:35] <Alathon> all the angels dodge, but most of them are off balance, only one of them saw you shooting.. the others just see a big beam of death
[15:35] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+34 gun angels 3 and 4
[15:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+34 gun angels 3 and 4 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{52}, [ 1d20=2 ]{36}
[15:35] <Alathon> (er.. those are +22.. damn)
[15:35] <Sheena> (...)
[15:35] <Sheena> (was about to freak)
[15:35] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34 gun angel 2
[15:35] <Sheena> (would take us hours to hit a +34)
[15:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 gun angel 2 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{45}
[15:36] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+20 gun angels 3 and 4
[15:36] <Sheena> (da hell)
[15:36] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+20 gun angels 3 and 4 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{26}, [ 1d20=11 ]{31}
[15:36] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32 gun agnel 2
[15:36] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32 gun agnel 2 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{41}

[15:36] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+22 sword angels --> [ 1d20=15 ]{37}, [ 1d20=8 ]{30}
[15:36] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+20 sword angels
[15:36] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+20 sword angels --> [ 1d20=18 ]{38}, [ 1d20=9 ]{29}
[15:36] <Reis> (Wow. Is that... +12 Dex?)
[15:36] <Alathon> (yes)
[15:36] <Sheena> (da fuck)
[15:36] <Alathon> (it's not cheap, but its' what they do)
[15:37] <Reis> (Damn, gotta backshoot those suckers soon)
[15:37] <Alathon> roll 1d20+33 archangel
[15:37] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+33 archangel --> [ 1d20=12 ]{45}
[15:37] <Alathon> roll 1d20+31 archangel
[15:37] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+31 archangel --> [ 1d20=16 ]{47}
[15:37] <Sheena> ...
[15:37] <Mani> (Are these dodges or saving throws?)
[15:37] <Alathon> (dodges)
[15:37] <Reis> (A sword angel eats the first, everyone but the arch eats the second, the arch dodges all with the powers of an... archangel)
[15:37] <Reis> (Dodges)
[15:38] <Sheena> (serriously, wtf?should i just go home?)
[15:38] <Mani> (Ah. Spreading, not area?)
[15:38] <Sheena> (It's spreading ya_
[15:38] <Alathon> (you shouldn't be surprised, you're fighting enemies of comparable level)
[15:38] <Sheena> (-1 for them, heh)
[15:39] <Sheena> (comparable level with they got +14 on us?)
[15:39] <Mani> (Dex bonus.)
[15:39] <Sheena> (damn wings!)
[15:39] <Reis> (Think about it this way: they have much higher dodge than you, but they also have generally lower Boom than you)
[15:39] <Alathon> First beam hits gun angel #4 and sword angel #2
[15:40] <Alathon> (64 damage per beam, right? 8d8 maxed?)
[15:40] <Sheena> (well some of thoes bitchs are getting hit with 72 ap1, and hopfully more hten once)
[15:40] <Sheena> 9d8
[15:40] <Sheena> (2 shells, 1 in DK
[15:40] <Sheena> (dh)
[15:40] <Alathon> (ahh yup)
[15:41] <Reis> (Yeah, gunner #4 is getting OWNED. He'll survive, they all will, but not easily :P )
[15:41] <Alathon> The second beam hits everyone except the archangel
[15:43] <Alathon> Everyone but the archangel is hurt, a couple of them (gun angel 4 and sword angel 2) severely
[15:43] * Sheena floats there in a dark storm of power with a rather fearl grin
[15:43] <Alathon> naturally, all three gun angels return fire, shouting obscenities in abyssal
[15:44] <Alathon> one already rolled
[15:44] <Sheena> "xxx xx xxxx!"
[15:44] <Alathon> here's the other two
[15:44] <Mani> (Angels: "Telemarketer! Lawyer!")
[15:44] <Alathon> roll 4#1d20+29-2
[15:44] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 4#1d20+29-2 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{33}, [ 1d20=15 ]{42}, [ 1d20=5 ]{32}, [ 1d20=16 ]{43}
[15:44] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+24-2
[15:44] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+24-2 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{41}, [ 1d20=10 ]{32}
[15:44] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+19-2
[15:44] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+19-2 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{22}, [ 1d20=17 ]{34}
[15:44] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+14-2
[15:44] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+14-2 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{29}, [ 1d20=10 ]{22}
[15:44] <Alathon> so, that's a total of 15 attacks
[15:44] <Alathon> the first few were rolled up top
[15:44] <Kuonji> (holy shit)
[15:44] <Reis> (Shooting at Sheens?)
[15:44] <Alathon> yeah
[15:44] <Sheena> (cripes)
[15:45] <Reis> (Uh... wow?)
[15:45] <Reis> (... You've got your armour up, right?)
[15:45] <Sheena> (dont suposed i can flash move eh?)
[15:45] <Sheena> (yes)
[15:45] <Sheena> (like flash move at mach 5)
[15:45] <Alathon> you can for one of the attackers
[15:45] <Mani> (How much does it absorb again?)
[15:45] <Alathon> but not all three
[15:45] <Reis> (These'll barely scratch)
[15:45] <Reis> (... Ah, never mind, forgot the +10, that's more than a scratch :P )
[15:45] <Alathon> (they're 3d8+10 ap+1, so they'll hurt)
[15:46] <Reis> (Armour's 20, so she gets 10 AR against them)
[15:46] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+26 flash move
[15:46] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+26 flash move --> [ 1d20=5 ]{31}
[15:46] <Mani> (So, basically, 3d8 final damage per attack.)
[15:46] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+25
[15:46] <Alathon> (16 actually.. she's only got 12 + ct)
[15:46] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{27}
[15:46] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+23
[15:46] <Reis> (Yup. Presumably 13 or 14.)
[15:46] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{38}
[15:46] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+21
[15:47] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{23}
[15:47] <Reis> (And, ow. This IS gonna hurt.)
[15:47] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+19
[15:47] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{32}
[15:47] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+17
[15:47] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{27}
[15:47] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+15 Look mah im daceing!
[15:47] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+15 Look mah im daceing! --> [ 1d20=13 ]{28}
[15:47] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+13
[15:47] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{18}
[15:47] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+11
[15:47] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{27}
[15:47] <Alathon> Your flash move evades 3 of the 5 shots from the first gunner (I think he had the lowest rolls)
[15:47] <Alathon> and two more defenses
[15:47] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+9
[15:47] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{19}
[15:47] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+7
[15:47] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{27}
[15:47] <Sheena> (woot, a crit!)
[15:48] <Reis> (Well, dodged one at least...)
[15:48] <Alathon> eight of the next ten hit
[15:48] <Alathon> so, ten total shots connect
[15:48] <Alathon> the first three shatter against your forcefields
[15:48] <Kuonji> (this burn is annoying as hell)
[15:48] <Reis> (Good thing you waited for 'em :P )
[15:49] <Mani> (21d8?)
[15:49] <Sheena> (ya)
[15:49] <Alathon> roll 7#3d8+10 AP+1
[15:49] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 7#3d8+10 AP+1 --> [ 3d8=19 ]{29}, [ 3d8=17 ]{27}, [ 3d8=13 ]{23}, [ 3d8=21 ]{31}, [ 3d8=11 ]{21}, [ 3d8=11 ]{21}, [ 3d8=18 ]{28}
[15:49] <Alathon> (so, after sheena's 16 armor, -10 for ap, taht's.. 23 21 17 25 15 15)
[15:49] <Sheena> (ya. ouch)
[15:50] * Sheena screams as she get shot down
[15:51] <Mani> (Gently fluttering down like a feather?)
[15:54] * Reis narrows her eyes, choking back a yell.
[15:54] <Alathon> heh
[15:54] <Alathon> yeah, no falling damage (though she wasn't super high regardless) since she's got a featherfall ring
[15:54] <Reis> (A, uh, hole-riddled feather? :P )
[15:55] <Sheena> (hey.. Dont her rejuve go into effect next turn?)
[15:55] <Alathon> (yes)
[15:55] <Sheena> (woot)
[15:55] <Reis> (Handy)
[15:55] <Alathon> anyways.. the gun angels are done
[15:55] <Alathon> so someone else has an action
[15:55] <Alathon> and they do soemthing
[15:57] <Alathon> and, he's done
[15:57] <Reis> (The time this is taking to type up frightens me, es

[Alathon]

Session 63 - part 2

[15:57] <Reis> (The time this is taking to type up frightens me, especially since I'm the only target they have right now)
[15:57] <Kuonji> (fuck, I've been made)
[15:57] <Alathon> and, Reis, you're up
[15:59] * Reis levels Swordbreaker out, and it lets off two detonations, ejecting the spent shells. Then, a whole LOT of ribbons come shooting off from her dress, perforating the angels in the street.
[15:59] <Reis> roll 1d20+33 head aims.
[15:59] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+33 head aims. --> [ 1d20=17 ]{50}
[15:59] <Reis> (Damage cartridges)
[16:00] <Reis> (Any chance they're still flatfooted? :P )
[16:00] <Alathon> Gun angels 2-4
[16:00] <Alathon> (no ;p )
[16:00] <Alathon> (they just got burned from an atack from that direction)
[16:00] <Reis> (Aww)
[16:00] <Reis> (Heh, gotcha)
[16:00] <Alathon> roll 3#1d20+30 gun angels 2-4
[16:00] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#1d20+30 gun angels 2-4 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{45}, [ 1d20=11 ]{41}, [ 1d20=14 ]{44}

[16:01] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+23 Sword Angels --> [ 1d20=12 ]{35}, [ 1d20=20 ]{43}
[16:01] <Alathon> The last sword angel evades them all
[16:02] <Reis> (So, how many hits? 1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 0?)
[16:02] <Sheena> (gotas leave some one for mani to butucher)
[16:02] <Reis> roll 6d10 AP 10 Gun #2.

[16:03] <Sheena> (Wonder if sheena gets a change to get up before the boss see's how its done)
[16:03] <Sheena> (fuck, thats a lot of ribons.. reis in her undies now?)
[16:04] <Reis> (Fortunately, they retract :P )
[16:04] <Alathon> A lot of the ribbons manage at least one strike
[16:04] <Reis> (Though, for a moment they probably got a show)
[16:04] <Mani> (So, you're now dressed in blood coated clothes?)
[16:04] <Sheena> (holy blood!)
[16:04] <Alathon> Which leaves all the gun angels very wounded, one of them critically, the arch-angel blooded, and the first sword angel seriously wounded.
[16:04] <Reis> (Ugh. Now that I consider it, yuck)
[16:05] <Alathon> (and yup, you're yucky as hell when they return)
[16:05] <Sheena> (all that and there still not down?)
[16:05] <Mani> (Don't use that attack against things with acid blood.)
[16:05] <Alathon> The sword angels, having shit init, can't leap attack anyone
[16:05] <Reis> (Gun #4 is at 12 HP :P )
[16:05] * Reis waves slightly, and vanishes.
[16:05] <Reis> (Teleporting to Sheena's position behind the STREET)
[16:05] <Alathon> but they are still hella fast, and leap-fly onto a nearby building to attack someone
[16:05] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+27 two-handed slash
[16:05] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+27 two-handed slash --> [ 1d20=19 ]{46}, [ 1d20=20 ]{47}
[16:06] <Alathon> ... and one of them is just plain perfect
[16:06] <Reis> (Fuck, poor Kuonji)
[16:06] <Mani> "Sounds like the fight is joined. And we're going to arrive a bit late."
[16:06] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+35
[16:06] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+35 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{54}
[16:07] <Alathon> Luckyl, Kuonji is on the ball and evades the other swing
[16:08] <Alathon> roll 3d8+22
[16:08] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3d8+22 --> [ 3d8=15 ]{37}
[16:08] <Alathon> no AP
[16:08] <Alathon> so.. what's that, 29?
[16:08] <Mani> (Damnit, Kuonji, get off that thing and tiptoe like a proper ninja!)
[16:08] <Alathon> And.. that's it for this round.
[16:09] <Alathon> Top of the order..
[16:09] <Alathon> Usagi is being carried by Mani, and comms, "We're two thirds of the way there, try not to get killed before we arrive!"
[16:09] <Alathon> holding action
[16:09] <Alathon> Mani.. I assume you're keeping moving?
[16:09] <Alathon> Sakura, you're up
[16:09] <Alathon> (.. actually Sakura is before mani regardless)
[16:10] <Mani> (Teleport + move would gain some time, yes?)
[16:10] <Kuonji> (so, what am I looking at here?)
[16:10] <Alathon> three wounded gun angels, one very wounded.. a healthy archangel, and two rather wounded sword angels all up in your kool-aid
[16:11] <Alathon> you know from exerperience that these ones HURT when they have time to unload leap attacks or full attacks
[16:12] <Alathon> And yeah, Mani, if you teleport.. you can reach your destination next round with time to make a single attack
[16:12] <Alathon> rather than just reaching it
[16:13] <Kuonji> (can I leap attack the archangel from here?)
[16:13] <Alathon> You could
[16:13] <Mani> "Teleporting."
[16:13] * Mani does so.
[16:13] <Sheena> (sucide?)
[16:13] <Kuonji> (heh, ignore the sword guys and go straight for the mage)
[16:13] <Reis> (Gah, disengage, we've all got heal abilities! :P )
[16:14] <Mani> "When we get near, I may need to move away from you to engage."
[16:15] <Alathon> Sheena bleeds (-1 hp)
[16:15] <Alathon> roll 3#1d20+4
[16:15] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{9}, [ 1d20=12 ]{16}, [ 1d20=14 ]{18}
[16:16] <Sheena> (eh? it was sheena turn?)
[16:16] <Alathon> after mani ran and teleported
[16:16] <Alathon> she's busy bleeding
[16:16] <Alathon> oh right
[16:16] <Alathon> rejuvenation
[16:16] <Alathon> play it out
[16:16] <Sheena> (yes)
[16:16] <Alathon> and.. those gun angels haven't vanished yet
[16:17] <Reis> (Reis is standing in midair next to Sheena's drifting body, btw)
[16:17] <Sheena> Dark heart: We are not done yet.
[16:18] <Mani> "If I do, please try to keep a low profile and act defensively."
[16:18] * Sheena jerks as dark heart sends a serg of dark power along andinto her, she rolls over coughing and gets the hell out of the way
[16:18] <Sheena> (can move at lest, right?)
[16:19] <Alathon> Usagi: "I.. alright."
[16:19] * Reis blinks. "Eh, Sheena-san? You looked worse off..."
[16:19] <Alathon> you can move, no combat actions
[16:19] <Mani> "I don't doubt your abilities, but if they are under orders to target you and concentrate their attacks..."
[16:20] * Sheena flys, long the gound to reis voice and past her a bit
[16:20] <Alathon> alright
[16:20] <Alathon> two gun angels vanish
[16:20] <Alathon> one doesn't
[16:21] <Sheena> com: -I hit them hard, *choke cought splatter* but there isnt much of me left for another go.
[16:21] <Reis> (Nah, I teleported into place right next to where you were drifting down :P )
[16:21] <Reis> (Which ones vanished?)
[16:21] <Alathon> #3 and #4
[16:21] <Mani> "I'll put you down when we're near the last corner."
[16:21] <Alathon> Actually.. are you behind the store, reis?
[16:21] <Alathon> Sheena was just past it
[16:21] <Reis> (Behind which store? I don't know which building is which)
[16:21] <Alathon> you'd have to be in th eir line of sight, to see them
[16:22] <Alathon> the one Sheena was getting cover from
[16:22] <Reis> (Yeah, I was asking OOC actually)
[16:22] <Reis> (And, yes, I'm behind it now)
[16:22] <Alathon> okay, then nobody knows what happens
[16:22] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[16:23] * Reis pulls out the comm: "Why not reorganize for a second attempt? Usagi-san can heal us up, and the angels are getting worn down."
[16:23] * Reis peeks up, very slightly, from behind cover.
[16:23] <Reis> (Ie, trying to stay hidden, and get a view)
[16:23] <Alathon> okay
[16:23] <Alathon> roll hide
[16:23] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled hide --> error: malformed expression
[16:23] <Reis> roll 1d20+15
[16:23] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{22}
[16:23] <Alathon> roll 1d20+16
[16:23] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{21}
[16:24] <Alathon> gah, that was supposed to be hidden.. but either way, you're in luck
[16:24] * Reis observes the situation, and reports it.
[16:24] <Alathon> You see one gun angel standing there, aiming their gun at the window of a store.
[16:24] * Sheena is a bloody mess on the street
[16:25] <Mani> (I assume I hear the comm but can't respond personally, btw?)
[16:25] * Reis takes aim.
[16:25] <Alathon> The two sword angels spread out and fly up, looking for targets
[16:26] <Reis> (So, it's gun and Arch down in the street?)
[16:26] <Alathon> It looks like one of 'em spotted you, Reis/Sheena, but it doesn't have time to act
[16:26] <Reis> (Or, is Arch gone?)
[16:26] <Alathon> The only one you saw left was the Gun Angel
[16:26] <Alathon> no archangel
[16:26] <Reis> (Gah)
[16:26] <Reis> (And he didn't hop out...)
[16:27] <Alathon> (you don't know that any of htem hopped out)
[16:27] <Alathon> (for all you know, they're in the houses)
[16:27] <Reis> (I can guess OOCly, but yeah, Reis doesn't know :P )
[16:27] * Reis whispers: "Two of the gunners and the mage aren't in my line of sight."
[16:29] <Alathon> Reis, do you do anything?
[16:29] <Reis> (Anyway, I believe that's it for my turn, taking aim at the swordy that saw me)
[16:29] <Alathon> alright
[16:30] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order
[16:30] <Alathon> This round, Mani and Usagi round the corner and will come up to (and pass?) Sheena/Reis
[16:30] <Alathon> Mani, you'll see that Sheena is very, very badly wounded.
[16:31] <Alathon> And there's a sword angel only liket wenty feet away bearing down on 'em both.
[16:31] <Alathon> Reis is moving like she's hurt, but not any worse than she was after the Horrid Wilting.
[16:31] <Alathon> Mani looks like she's carrying usagi.. except there's no Usagi, btw.
[16:31] <Mani> (How badly wounded does the sword angel look?)
[16:32] * Reis blinks at the sight.
[16:32] <Alathon> pretty seriously, but not about to fall down and die
[16:32] <Alathon> Judge?
[16:32] <Mani> (And Reis is taking aim?)
[16:32] <Mani> (If it won't take an action.)
[16:32] <Reis> (Yup)
[16:32] <Alathon> (one free judge per round as a free action)
[16:32] <Mani> (Yes, then.)
[16:33] <Reis> (I'll judge 'im too)
[16:33] <Mani> (Would I be able to heal Sheena and then us my extra attack on the angel if he got close that round?)
[16:34] <Alathon> hmm.. yes
[16:34] <Alathon> you'd move, act once (healing magic) and hold the second action
[16:34] <Alathon> Sakura, you're up regardless
[16:34] * Mani does that.
[16:35] <Alathon> (so, +50 hp to Sheena)
[16:37] <Reis> (... Kuonji's turn now?)
[16:38] <Alathon> (yeah, he just finished)
[16:38] <Alathon> so, mani goes, heals SHeena
[16:38] * Sheena isnt bleeding all over now
[16:38] <Alathon> and is holding her next action
[16:38] <Reis> (Yay!)
[16:38] <Alathon> roll 1d20+4
[16:38] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{24}
[16:38] <Reis> (Wow.)
[16:39] <Alathon> actually wait
[16:39] <Alathon> Sheena is first
[16:39] <Alathon> you're up
[16:39] <Alathon> there's a sword angel coming down at you
[16:39] <Alathon> and another one up in the air a bit back
[16:40] * Sheena coughs again
[16:40] <Sheena> "Fuck, that"
[16:40] * Sheena rasies a arm to the angels in the air
[16:40] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+26 bind!
[16:40] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+26 bind! --> [ 1d20=1 ]{27}
[16:40] <Sheena> ...
[16:40] <Sheena> DR
[16:40] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+26 bind!
[16:40] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+26 bind! --> [ 1d20=6 ]{32}
[16:40] <Sheena> (OH COME ON)
[16:40] <Mani> (Oh, good. I was having images of all of us getting bound.)
[16:41] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27
[16:41] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{29}
[16:41] <Mani> (*smirks.)
[16:41] <Reis> (That would've been... less than ideal)
[16:41] <Sheena> (pfft..)
[16:41] <Reis> (... Wow. It WORKED?)
[16:41] <Alathon> (wait a sec, didn't you already use your DR?)
[16:41] <Sheena> (the dice hates ever one the same)
[16:41] <Sheena> Sheena got more the one
[16:41] <Alathon> no, she does not
[16:42] <Sheena> meh
[16:42] <Sheena> fine what ever.
[16:43] <Reis> (Yeah, it's not you getting bound, it's ME :P )
[16:44] <Alathon> okay
[16:44] <Alathon> yeah, reis, dodge
[16:45] <Reis> roll 1d20+31
[16:45] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{42}
[16:45] <Alathon> you evade the errant bind.
[16:45] <Mani> ("I didn't heal you for that!" *bap*)
[16:46] <Alathon> hmm.. spot roll, Sheena
[16:46] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+10
[16:46] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{12}
[16:46] <Sheena> .....
[16:47] <Alathon> Well, sheena misses something.. but nobody misses this:
[16:47] <Reis> ("I'm blind!")
[16:47] <Reis> (We're clumped up. Horrid Wilting?)
[16:48] <Kuonji> (why
[16:48] <Kuonji> (er ignore that)
[16:48] <Reis> (Because the arch angel is presumably somewhere :P )
[16:50] <Alathon> (sorry, phone call)
[16:50] <Alathon> (sigh)
[16:51] <Reis> (Ah, okay, that's a lot less scary than imagining you were taking that long to type it up :P )
[16:51] <Alathon> (gah, was about to hit you all with prismatic spray, then remembered my promise to go easy on the death effects)
[16:51] <Kuonji> (sigh indeed, I need to go get some food at some point, it's already 8pm and I haven't eaten yet... also need to drop my rent off across the street x_x)
[16:51] <Alathon> (we're breaking after this battle)
[16:51] <Reis> (All righty)
[16:52] <Alathon> two thin green rays spring out of nowhere, one aimed at Reis, the other at Sheena
[16:52] <Alathon> roll 1d2
[16:52] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d2 --> [ 1d2=2 ]{2}
[16:52] <Alathon> The one aimed at sheena reaches them first, and hits reis' area forcefield, destroying it
[16:53] <Alathon> roll 1d20+33+6
[16:53] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+33+6 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{48}
[16:53] <Alathon> the other ray is coming right at reis
[16:53] <Sheena> (wtf?)
[16:53] <Reis> (Invis penalty, or...?)
[16:53] <Alathon> (actually, there's an invis penalty too
[16:53] <Alathon> (tack a -4 on your dodge)
[16:53] <Alathon> (the +6 is for the touch attack)
[16:54] <Reis> roll 1d20+31-4 Deflection.
[16:54] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+31-4 Deflection. --> [ 1d20=18 ]{45}
[16:54] <Mani> (Aw, a little disintegration beam never hurt anyone.)
[16:54] <Reis> (FUCK)
[16:54] <Reis> (Especially with a comment like that from Mani.)
[16:55] <Mani> (Not like he'd really throw an instakill spell at you right after saying he's going easy on death effects.)
[16:55] <Reis> (True. But I only have like 84 HP right now.)
[16:55] <Alathon> Anyways.. fort save, DC 23
[16:55] <Reis> roll 1d20+9
[16:56] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{23}
[16:56] <Alathon> (wow)
[16:56] <Alathon> (nice time to roll good)
[16:56] <Alathon> roll 5d6
[16:56] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5d6 --> [ 5d6=18 ]{18}
[16:56] <Alathon> that'll sting like hell after armor, but isn't lethal :)
[16:56] <Alathon> anyways, Reis, you're up
[16:56] <Alathon> and the ArchAngel is visible now, right down the street
[16:56] <Reis> (Armour applies? Including CT?)
[16:57] <Alathon> (yes, and no)
[16:57] <Mani> (How far?)
[16:57] <Sheena> (why are we fighting uber angels with a uselsss boss any way?)
[16:57] <Alathon> (about 80 feet)
[16:57] <Alathon> (Usagi suggested retreating, and was pooh-poohed)
[16:58] <Sheena> (when the hell did usagi suggest retreating?)
[16:58] <Alathon> (it was to Mani, right after they left the incendiary cloud)
[16:58] <Sheena> (i dont seem to remember that)
[16:58] <Reis> (HP 75)
[16:58] * Reis holds action for a moment. (Waiting 'till Swordy acts)
[16:58] <Reis> (Back after we first ran into 'em)
[16:59] <Kuonji> (she could have, you know, ordered us to retreat)
[16:59] <Reis> (She suggested it, Mani brought up a good counterpoint? :P )
[16:59] <Sheena> (That was hardly a freaking call to retreat, it looked way more like it was a good idea to move away from the conor)
[17:00] <Mani> (Enh. Our job isn't to run away when we're not clearly overmatched if we can find a way to attack our opponents.)
[17:00] <Alathon> Sword Angel #1 has seen the action, and comes down in a dive, swinging at Reis; #2 continues on swinging at Sheena
[17:00] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27 at reis
[17:00] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27 at reis --> [ 1d20=19 ]{46}
[17:00] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27 at sheena
[17:00] <Mani> (Let me know when I get my attack.)
[17:00] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27 at sheena --> [ 1d20=15 ]{42}
[17:00] <Reis> roll 1d20+29 Deflect
[17:00] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+29 Deflect --> [ 1d20=9 ]{38}
[17:00] <Alathon> (you'll get it right after their actions
[17:00] <Reis> (Gah. I'm hit)
[17:00] <Alathon> roll 3d8+22 on reis
[17:00] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3d8+22 on reis --> [ 3d8=19 ]{41}
[17:00] <Reis> (And, I'll be after Mani I guess)
[17:01] <Alathon> Sheena, dodge?
[17:01] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+25
[17:01] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{29}
[17:01] * Reis winces heavily. (46 HP)
[17:01] <Sheena> ....
[17:01] <Alathon> roll 3d8+22
[17:01] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3d8+22 --> [ 3d8=16 ]{38}
[17:01] * Sheena scream from the hit, but then glars up at the two
[17:01] <Alathon> So.. both get cut, and both are still up.. and both are hurting
[17:01] <Sheena> "Heh.. we got you now fuckers"
[17:02] <Alathon> Mani, you're up -- one swing
[17:02] <Mani> (Do I have my choice of targets, or just the one that attacked Sheena?)
[17:02] <Alathon> just the one that attacked sheena
[17:02] * Mani coughs politely.
[17:02] <Alathon> which was the slightly more wounded one
[17:02] <Mani> "I don't believe we've met."
[17:03] <Mani> roll 1d20+31
[17:03] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{38}
[17:03] * Mani thrusts a sword at it.
[17:03] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27+2 block
[17:03] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27+2 block --> [ 1d20=12 ]{41}
[17:03] <Alathon> it blocks your thrust with the wide blade of it's sword.
[17:03] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[17:04] * Reis 'blinks' out and slips into place behind Mani's one, attempting to shove her sword into its heart.
[17:04] <Reis> roll 1d20+30
[17:04] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{31}
[17:04] <Reis> ...
[17:04] <Reis> (Outta DR.)
[17:05] <Reis> (Sorry.)
[17:05] <Sheena> (fucking a)
[17:05] <Sheena> (and you both mess up sheen'a shot0
[17:05] <Reis> (Vengeance? And hey, there's another one to shoot at :P )
[17:05] <Alathon> okay
[17:05] <Alathon> roll 1d2 mani or sheena
[17:05] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d2 mani or sheena --> [ 1d2=2 ]{2}
[17:06] <Reis> (Ow. Sorry Sheens)
[17:06] <Alathon> alright.. sheena, dodge that one, flatfooted
[17:06] <Reis> (Uh... can I hold back when I see where it's going?)
[17:06] <Alathon> (i.e. no dex bonus.. melee dodge)
[17:06] <Sheena> ..
[17:06] <Mani> (I don't suppose I can attempt to deflect it, huh?)
[17:06] <Alathon> (uh, no?)
[17:06] <Alathon> Not where everyone's standing
[17:06] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+20
[17:06] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{32}
[17:06] <Reis> (Sure, Defending others rules?)
[17:06] <Sheena> .......
[17:06] <Reis> (And, you managed it, good :P )
[17:06] <Sheena> (the fucking dice bots going to give me a heart attack)
[17:07] <Alathon> (sheena, where do you get +20?)

[17:10] <Sheena> or when ever we picked up

[17:11] <Alathon> anyways
[17:11] <Alathon> Reis, it hits; roll your damage
[17:11] <Reis> (Can I hold back?)
[17:11] <Alathon> no
[17:11] <Reis> (Gah. Okay... this'll hurt)
[17:11] <Alathon> you weren't holding back when you aimed at the angel
[17:11] <Alathon> you mis-aimed

[17:12] <Mani> (Seems like a fair fight to me.)
[17:12] <Alathon> (yes, to -6)
[17:12] <Rockman_Zero> (...)
[17:12] <Alathon> (Hi.)
[17:12] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order.
[17:13] <Alathon> Usagi.. well, nobody knows what she does.
[17:13] <Alathon> Sakura, you're up
[17:13] <Mani> (That's because she runs Espionage. ;) )
[17:13] <Reis> (Any healing would be beloved at this point :P )
[17:14] * Reis gasps. "I'm sorry Sheena-san!"
[17:15] <Mani> "Reis, fall back. You don't want to go toe to toe with these guys."
[17:16] <Reis> "Right Mani-san, I'll be out in a second."
[17:19] <Alathon> Alright, Mani, you're up
[17:20] <Alathon> everyone sees an invisible man with very visible orange-yellow flames burning merrily on him step just a little out into the intersection between you all and hte angel
[17:20] * Mani attacks the angel she swung at last round (and tries to keep the other one between her and the mage, if possible).

[17:22] <Alathon> roll 1d20+13-2
[17:22] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+13-2 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{23}
[17:22] <Alathon> wait
[17:22] <Alathon> okay
[17:22] <Reis> (Hm? Isn't that a critfail?)
[17:22] <Alathon> He only manages to block one
[17:22] <Alathon> the other five hit
[17:22] * Kuonji deactivates the invis first chance he gets
[17:22] <Kuonji> (not like it's any use right now)
[17:22] <Alathon> You can do that immediately.. it's now kuonji who's on fire, but not screaming or smoking
[17:23] <Mani> roll 5#1d8+8
[17:23] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 5#1d8+8 --> [ 1d8=4 ]{12}, [ 1d8=1 ]{9}, [ 1d8=8 ]{16}, [ 1d8=8 ]{16}, [ 1d8=5 ]{13}

[17:23] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 15d8 --> [ 15d8=69 ]{69}
[17:23] <Mani> (AP 1 on the initial attacks, if it matters, btw.)
[17:23] <Alathon> (it does)
[17:23] <Reis> (Yeah, he's all-but dead)
[17:23] <Alathon> (did, rather)
[17:24] <Alathon> he's actually dead, just falling unconscious on the last burst
[17:24] <Mani> "I, on the other hand, *love* going toe to toe with these guys."
[17:24] <Reis> (Ah, I see :P )
[17:24] * Reis nods. "I'll see about distracting the mage."
[17:24] <Alathon> Sheena.. bleeds
[17:25] <Alathon> The archangel jogs forward several yards, and looses a cone of freezing snow and ice down the street.
[17:25] <Alathon> roll 15d6
[17:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 15d6 --> [ 15d6=54 ]{54}

[17:26] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{29}

[17:27] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{16}
[17:27] <Alathon> The sword-angel eats the blast as well
[17:27] <Reis> (28 HP)
[17:27] <Alathon> The archangel follows the spell with a really offensive screed at the sword-angel to retreat already.
[17:27] <Mani> (I'd ask if him being in front of me helps, but I know better. :) )
[17:27] <Alathon> (in abyssal)
[17:29] <Alathon> and, Reis is up
[17:30] <Mani> (I assume Sheena was hit by that attack, too?)
[17:30] <Alathon> (yes)
[17:30] <Alathon> (no save, since she's unconscious)
[17:30] <Mani> "Get Sheena out of here."
[17:30] * Reis teleports into place behind the archangel, chopping down for his neck.
[17:30] <Reis> roll 1d20+30
[17:30] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{38}
[17:30] <Reis> (Ah, dammit)
[17:31] <Reis> (Can Mani have said that before I moved?)
[17:31] <Mani> (Diverting the mage's attention should work, too.)
[17:31] <Alathon> roll 1d20+33 flatfooted
[17:31] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+33 flatfooted --> [ 1d20=14 ]{47}
[17:31] <Reis> (All righty)
[17:31] <Alathon> It evades, apparently being pretty familiar with the whole teleport-attack thing.
[17:31] <Reis> (And, figured he'd dodge. Ah well, I'm just keeping him busy)
[17:31] <Alathon> Sword Angel #2, having lost its target, turns and hacks at Mani
[17:31] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27
[17:31] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{46}
[17:32] <Alathon> (that's it, one swing)
[17:32] <Alathon> (since it has to move to engage)
[17:32] <Mani> roll 1d20+34
[17:32] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{41}

[17:32] <Alathon> roll 3d8+22
[17:32] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3d8+22 --> [ 3d8=14 ]{36}
[17:32] <Alathon> (apparently not)
[17:32] <Alathon> No AP, just straight damage
[17:32] * Mani just smiles at him.
[17:32] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order
[17:33] <Alathon> Sakura, you're up
[17:33] <Reis> (Gah. Sounds like invisiusagi got herself pwnt)
[17:33] <Sheena> (isnt there heal pots in the pink hair zone?)
[17:33] <Mani> (Or ... you just can't see what she's doing.)
[17:33] <Kuonji> (how close is the mage?)
[17:34] <Alathon> the mage is almost right up in your face, like 10 ft away
[17:34] <Alathon> not close enough to flurry, but very close
[17:34] * Kuonji jump attacks him
[17:34] <Mani> (Ninja jumps mage!)
[17:34] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+28
[17:34] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{37}
[17:34] <Reis> (Has he turned around to face me at this point, giving Kuonji a flatfooted attack? :P )
[17:34] <Alathon> (no ;p )
[17:35] <Alathon> (most of his enemies are in front of him)
[17:35] <Reis> (Awwww. Well, he's between us, so he's gonna have to give his rear to someone ;) )
[17:35] <Alathon> (right now, that's you
[17:35] <Mani> (Pervert.)
[17:35] <Alathon> roll 1d20+38 dodge
[17:35] <Reis> (Yay!)
[17:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+38 dodge --> [ 1d20=16 ]{54}
[17:35] <Alathon> He easily evades the leap attack
[17:35] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[17:35] <Reis> (And, I know, I was trying to think of the least perverted way to say it :P )
[17:35] <Kuonji> (jesus tap dancing christ)
[17:35] * Mani attacks the angel on her.
[17:36] <Kuonji> (how the fuck do you even get a dodge that high?)
[17:36] <Alathon> (start by being level 20)
[17:36] <Reis> (By being the boss of this session)
[17:36] <Mani> roll 2#1d20+31
[17:36] <Reis> (Yeah, that helps)
[17:36] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{47}, [ 1d20=1 ]{32}
[17:36] <Reis> (... Gah)
[17:36] <Mani> (Do I still get my extra attack?)

[17:36] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27+2 block
[17:37] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27+2 block --> [ 1d20=16 ]{45}
[17:37] <Mani> roll 1d8+8 ap1
[17:37] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d8+8 ap1 --> [ 1d8=2 ]{10}
[17:37] <Alathon> Your first hit connects, but the second one is not only blocked, but disarmed by the force of the block.
[17:37] <Alathon> roll burst
[17:37] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled burst --> error: malformed expression
[17:37] <Kuonji> (I'm fighting someone three levels higher then me... I'm fucked)
[17:37] <Mani> roll 3d8
[17:37] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=13 ]{13}
[17:37] <Alathon> It's hurt, but still got a bit of fight left in it
[17:38] <Reis> (No, WE'RE fighting someone three/two levels higher than us ;) )
[17:38] <Alathon> alright.. Sheena bleeds
[17:39] <Alathon> The archangel turns sideways and does a couple quick shorthops backwards, soboth of you are in front of it..
[17:39] <Alathon> and launches a very bright bolt of lightning at Kuonji, afterw hich a lesser bolt arcs from Kuonji to Reis
[17:39] * Sheena the bleeding sheena points out that it would have made the dodge even on the old sheet, but it comes across as a gurgle splurt
[17:40] <Alathon> roll 20d6
[17:40] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 20d6 --> [ 20d6=66 ]{66}
[17:40] <Mani> ("Don't try to talk, Sheena." ;) )
[17:40] <Alathon> roll 10d6
[17:40] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 10d6 --> [ 10d6=45 ]{45}
[17:40] <Kuonji> (too bad the cone of cold earlier didn't activate the curse)
[17:40] <Sheena> ....
[17:40] <Reis> (Reflex for half?)
[17:40] <Alathon> DC 23 for half
[17:40] <Reis> roll 1d20+11
[17:40] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{27}

[17:40] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+16
[17:40] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{22}

[17:40] <Alathon> (and.. 66 to kuonji before armor)
[17:40] <Reis> (14 damage, 14 HP)
[17:41] <Kuonji> (what the fuck man)
[17:41] <Alathon> And, Reis, you're up
[17:42] <Kuonji> (77hp)
[17:42] <Reis> (Can I hop back to his rear and still get a flurry?)
[17:42] <Alathon> no
[17:42] <Reis> (Right)
[17:43] * Reis teleports right back behind him.
[17:43] <Reis> roll 1d20+30
[17:43] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{46}
[17:43] <Alathon> roll 1d20+31 flat footed
[17:43] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+31 flat footed --> [ 1d20=6 ]{37}
[17:43] <Alathon> (hit)
[17:43] <Reis> roll 8d10 AP 20.
[17:43] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 8d10 AP 20. --> [ 8d10=53 ]{53}
[17:44] <Alathon> This hit connects.. and for the first time, this angel looks meaningfully injured.
[17:44] <Reis> (Whoo! Finally!)
[17:45] <Alathon> Sword Angel #2 unloads on Mani
[17:45] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27

[17:45] <Alathon> roll 1d20+12
[17:45] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{19}

[17:46] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order
[17:46] <Alathon> +120 hp to Sheena
[17:46] * Mani looks bored.
[17:46] <Alathon> Sakura, you're up
[17:46] <Reis> (That should at least wake Sheena up, right?)
[17:46] <Alathon> (she was at -49 I believe)
[17:46] <Alathon> (so yes)
[17:47] <Mani> (If DCG was DM, she'd wake up by hugging and kissing Usagi while murmuring, "Oh, Celeste..." :) )
[17:47] <Kuonji> (has the mage been speaking to cast spells?)
[17:48] <Reis> (Heh. Actually, that's Tsukasa's trick ;) )
[17:48] <Alathon> (yes)
[17:51] * Kuonji tries another jump attack
[17:51] <Kuonji> (nevermind
[17:51] <Kuonji> )
[17:51] <Kuonji> (retcon please, delay action)
[17:51] <Alathon> okay
[17:52] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[17:52] <Alathon> and missing your off-hand sword
[17:52] <Mani> (I assume getting it would preclude a flurry?)
[17:52] <Alathon> yes
[17:52] * Mani attacks with her single sword.
[17:52] <Mani> roll 1d20+31
[17:52] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{39}
[17:52] <Mani> roll 1d20+26
[17:52] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{27}

[17:53] <Mani> roll 3d8
[17:53] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=7 ]{7}
[17:53] <Alathon> penetrates
[17:53] <Alathon> Hurting a little more..
[17:53] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[17:53] <Alathon> You just woke up, and are staring at the sky
[17:53] <Mani> (Sheesh. Still up? Hmph.)
[17:54] <Sheena> "ow"
[17:54] <Sheena> (that angel still above me fighting mani?)
[17:54] <Alathon> right near you are a sword angel and mani, dueling.. mani doesn't have swords
[17:55] <Sheena> (can i shoot up and hit it but not her?)
[17:55] <Alathon> Yes
[17:56] * Sheena coughs
[17:56] <Sheena> "Ap.."
[17:56] * Sheena adjusts her angle to not hit mani
[17:56] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+24

[17:57] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 7d8 ap --> [ 7d8=32 ]{32}
[17:57] <Alathon> The black beam of energy washes over the angel, and... it's just barely clinging to life when it passes.
[17:58] <Alathon> The Archangel turns and backs away again, to get LoS Reis without leaving Kuonji at its back.. it makes a series of gestures, and..
[17:58] <Alathon> Nothing happens.
[17:58] <Sheena> (.. out of regs?)
[17:59] <Alathon> You don't know, but it looks pissed.
[17:59] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[17:59] <Mani> (He then looks puzzled and raises his hand peer at it, whereupon it shoots a burst of energy into his face.)
[18:00] <Kuonji> (teehee)
[18:00] <Mani> (Looney Tunes d20)
[18:00] <Kuonji> (ninja season! angel season! ninja season! angel season fire!)
[18:00] * Reis blinks, grins, and flashes back to beside Kuonji. "Swordbreaker, Cartridge Load, AP mix." The sword's system cycles three times, and then the ribbons lance out.
[18:00] <Reis> roll 1d20+33 Heart.
[18:00] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+33 Heart. --> [ 1d20=2 ]{35}

[18:02] <Alathon> Sakura, you're up
[18:03] <Kuonji> (hmm)
[18:03] * Reis sighs. "Sorry I missed that shot, Sakura-san."
[18:03] <Kuonji> (I forget, can I flurry if I tp or no?)
[18:03] <Alathon> no
[18:03] <Kuonji> (damn)
[18:03] <Reis> (16 HP, fear my power! :P )
[18:03] <Kuonji> (guess I'll make it waste its dodge)
[18:04] <Mani> (You could crit.)
[18:04] <Reis> (... Wait, my shield's GOT to be back by now)
[18:04] <Reis> (We're good for the round :P )
[18:04] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+15 shadowbind

[18:04] <Mani> (I said crit, not critfail!)
[18:04] <Kuonji> (... ANOTHER CRIT FAIL)
[18:04] <Reis> (Indeed)
[18:04] <Alathon> ...right
[18:04] <Alathon> Reis, dodge that 11
[18:04] <Reis> (Yeah, someone HATES us...)
[18:04] <Kuonji> (that's my thirdone this session, what the fuck is going on?)
[18:05] <Alathon> (there has been a lot of rolling)
[18:05] <Reis> (Can I use a lower dodge and save my max for angel-man?)
[18:05] <Alathon> (no)

[18:05] <Reis> roll 1d20+31
[18:05] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{50}
[18:06] <Reis> (... Fuck you, I want to save that for when I'll actually NEED it)
[18:06] <Reis> (Ah well)
[18:06] <Mani> (Random number generators don't work that way...)\
[18:06] <Alathon> You evade the spreading web of shadows.
[18:06] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[18:06] <Kuonji> (wait, do did the mage dodge twice at least?)

[18:07] <Mani> (grab...)
[18:07] <Alathon> (nod)
[18:07] <Kuonji> (... bah, he shouldn't even get that dodge)

[18:08] <Alathon> A lightning bolt finishes it off.
[18:08] <Reis> (Usagi's voice, I hope? :P )
[18:08] <Alathon> Usagi appears, over on the other side of the street.
[18:08] * Sheena spits out some blood and glars at the next taret
[18:08] <Alathon> She's got some slight cover behind a wood awning support.
[18:08] * Mani keeps an eye out for any threats to Usagi.
[18:09] <Sheena> (pink lighting?)
[18:09] <Alathon> (actually, I need to roll this don't I..)

[18:09] <Reis> (... Holy fuck)
[18:09] <Reis> (This one actually IS an angel)
[18:10] <Alathon> It's at five.. fucking.. hitpoints
[18:10] <Kuonji> (you are an evil, evil man with evil, evil dice)
[18:10] <Reis> ('cause there's SOME god looking out for him...)
[18:10] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[18:10] <Mani> (And you wear an evil, evil hat and live in an evil, evil house.)
[18:10] <Alathon> Usagi is flabbergasted that she broke stealth to wing it.
[18:11] * Sheena switchs holds and swings dark heart

[18:12] <Sheena> (FUCK YOU LONG AND HARD DICE BOT)
[18:12] <Kuonji> (...)
[18:12] <Alathon> sigh
[18:12] <Alathon> alright
[18:12] <Alathon> The Archangel looks a little spooked, and flies straight up, then angles a bit to land on a nearby three story building.
[18:12] <Alathon> It then makes a series of gestures, and points at Reis.
[18:13] <Kuonji> (uhoh)
[18:13] <Alathon> roll 10d6
[18:13] <Kuonji> (byebye reis)
[18:13] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 10d6 --> [ 10d6=33 ]{33}
[18:13] <Alathon> DC 20 reflex for half
[18:15] * Reis cocks her head and watches it ping off her forcefield.
[18:15] <Reis> (GOOD time to have it back up ;) )
[18:15] <Reis> (It actually might've been back for the chain lightning or cone of cold, but I forgot to count)
[18:15] <Reis> (My move?)
[18:15] <Alathon> (major lag there reis)
[18:15] <Reis> (Wow, really?)
[18:15] <Alathon> and, yes
[18:15] * Reis vanishes, and makes every effort to shove a sword into his heart from behind.
[18:15] <Reis> roll 1d20+30
[18:15] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{41}

[18:16] <Reis> roll 1d20+5 ?
[18:16] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+5 ? --> [ 1d20=11 ]{16}
[18:16] <Alathon> Alright, good
[18:16] <Alathon> you stumble a bit, but avoid tripping over some sort of vent on the roof.
[18:17] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order.
[18:17] <Alathon> Usagi vanishes.
[18:17] <Alathon> Sakura, you're up
[18:17] <Alathon> Archangel, in abyssal: "How many more can you block?"
[18:17] * Kuonji holds action
[18:17] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[18:18] * Mani shakes her head and attacks.
[18:18] <Mani> roll 1d20+31
[18:18] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{45}

[18:19] <Mani> (He's dead, anyway.)
[18:19] <Alathon> It blocks the middle three, but not the first or last
[18:19] <Mani> (I don't need to bother rolling, do I?)
[18:19] <Alathon> yeah you do
[18:19] <Alathon> because it determines how many rounds it can be down before it regens to consciousness
[18:19] <Mani> roll 2#1d8+8 AP1
[18:19] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d8+8 AP1 --> [ 1d8=3 ]{11}, [ 1d8=1 ]{9}

[18:20] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 6d8 --> [ 6d8=43 ]{43}
[18:20] <Alathon> It goes down, and hwen it hits the ground, a small spurt of blood sprays into the air.
[18:20] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[18:21] <Sheena> (do i need to recast protection?)
[18:21] <Alathon> (no)
[18:21] * Sheena leans on her staff some,
[18:21] <Alathon> (actually, yes)
[18:22] <Sheena> "Damn it, these guys are a bitch."
[18:22] <Alathon> (it lasts 10 rounds, and you were unconscious when it renewed)
[18:22] <Alathon> (you have your normal lvl 1 forcefield up though)
[18:22] <Sheena> (ok)
[18:22] * Sheena flys up and takes a shot at the big angel.
[18:23] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+26 bind
[18:23] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+26 bind --> [ 1d20=19 ]{45}

[18:23] * Sheena crys
[18:23] <Sheena> (hows he at full dodge again?)
[18:23] <Alathon> (nobody's attacked him this round)
[18:23] <Kuonji> (no one attacked him)
[18:24] <Alathon> He turns to fire at Reis
[18:24] <Alathon> Archangel, in abyssal: "Then let's count.. one, two, three!"
[18:24] * Kuonji tries to silence him again
[18:24] <Alathon> It gestures, speaks, and launches three deem crimson streaks of flame at Reis.
[18:24] <Kuonji> (god damn)
[18:25] <Alathon> hmm
[18:25] <Alathon> gimme a 1d20 kuonji
[18:25] <Kuonji> (I can't add my skill mod?)
[18:25] <Alathon> (no, this is just to determine if you timed it right)
[18:25] <Kuonji> roll 1d20
[18:25] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{12}
[18:25] <Alathon> (>10 succeds)
[18:25] <Alathon> (and, you succeed)
[18:25] <Alathon> He finishes the spell, and nothing happens.
[18:25] <Alathon> Reis, you're up.
[18:26] * Reis grins, and pops out, hovering in midair over the street. "See? All I needed."
[18:26] <Reis> roll 1d20+33 "Banden Schwert."

[18:26] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+36 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{45}
[18:26] <Mani> (Obviously, this mage is deranged, breaking into counting games in the middle of battle.)
[18:26] <Alathon> It evades.. again.
[18:27] <Alathon> It's good at that.
[18:27] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order.
[18:27] <Alathon> Nothing happens.. Sakura, you're up
[18:27] * Kuonji holds again
[18:28] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[18:28] * Mani retrieves her other sword, and after glancing to be sure nothing's menacing the princess, teleports next to the mage.
[18:28] <Alathon> balance roll
[18:28] <Mani> (Unless, of course, something is menacing her...)
[18:28] <Alathon> nothing is
[18:29] <Mani> roll 1d20+10
[18:29] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{17}
[18:29] <Alathon> as far as you can tell, she's invisible again
[18:29] <Alathon> And.. Mani manages to evade the plumbing vent as well.
[18:29] <Mani> (Oh, Extra attack?)
[18:30] <Sheena> (that evil vent)
[18:30] <Alathon> after picking up the sword, and teleporting? no
[18:30] <Mani> (Fair enough.)
[18:30] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[18:32] <Sheena> "Dance fucker"
[18:32] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+26
[18:32] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{33}

[18:32] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+21
[18:32] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{33}
[18:32] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+17
[18:32] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{20}
[18:33] <Sheena> (normal shots)
[18:33] <Alathon> They streatk out towards the angel.
[18:34] <Alathon> The angel hops down from the building and lands down the street a bit, and starts making a series of gestures.
[18:35] <Mani> (Don't suppose any of us can stop him from hopping by all of us?)
[18:35] <Alathon> no
[18:35] <Alathon> Kuonji, do you do anything?
[18:35] <Kuonji> (can I see him?)
[18:35] <Alathon> yes, he's just down the street
[18:36] <Kuonji> (silence)
[18:36] <Kuonji> (want me to roll something?)
[18:37] <Alathon> yeah, a 1d20 for timing, or do you do it as soon as he starts gesturing?
[18:38] <Kuonji> as soon as he starts
[18:38] <Alathon> *nod*
[18:38] <Alathon> he dives through a plate glass window into a store.
[18:38] <Kuonji> (probably should have just rolled)
[18:38] <Kuonji> (damn)
[18:38] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[18:38] <Mani> (With tonight's dice?)
[18:39] <Kuonji> (oh wait... nm)
[18:40] <Reis> (Next round my shield's back, right?)
[18:40] <Alathon> Yes
[18:41] <Kuonji> (FUCK)
[18:41] <Kuonji> (mouse in my room)
[18:41] <Alathon> (eh, kick it a fw tiems)
[18:41] * Reis coughs slightly, and carefully approaches the store - trying to get a view in without shoving my unprotected self right in his face.
[18:42] <Alathon> do you get a view, or do you stay out of view
[18:42] <Alathon> that's an either-or question
[18:42] <Alathon> cuz if you can see something, it can see you
[18:42] <Reis> (I get a view, I just don't try to rush right in and give him a backshot at me)
[18:43] <Alathon> You see the angel grappling with what looks to be a middle-aged woman.
[18:43] <Alathon> Do you act, or are you done?
[18:43] <Kuonji> (O_O)
[18:44] <Reis> (Can I teleport and attack?)
[18:44] <Alathon> you just moved
[18:44] <Reis> "Scheiss! He's got someone in there!"
[18:44] <Reis> (Didn't think so... just teleport in behind him then)
[18:44] <Alathon> so no
[18:44] * Reis flashes across to behind the archangel.
[18:44] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order
[18:45] <Alathon> Sakura, you're up
[18:45] <Sheena> 9ahem)

[18:45] <Alathon> roll 3#1d2
[18:45] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#1d2 --> [ 1d2=2 ]{2}, [ 1d2=2 ]{2}, [ 1d2=2 ]{2}
[18:45] <Alathon> ...
[18:45] <Alathon> yeah, all three slam into various parts of the store, inside and out
[18:45] * Kuonji run to the store to get a look at the situation
[18:45] <Alathon> Which makes atremendous mess of it
[18:45] <Sheena> (... then i want a refund on homing)
[18:46] <Alathon> (dude, they're also stoppable, and he got cover)
[18:47] <Sheena> 9ok)
[18:49] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[18:49] * Mani flies into the store.
[18:49] <Mani> (Can I attack?)
[18:49] <Alathon> hmm
[18:49] <Alathon> yes, if you want
[18:49] <Alathon> you'll see the angel strugglign with a middle-aged woman, a knife in his hands
[18:50] <Reis> (And Reis behind him, drawing back her sword :P )
[18:50] <Alathon> Reis is directly behind him
[18:50] <Alathon> Sakura is off to the side.
[18:51] * Sheena on a roof some place
[18:53] * Mani takes a single swing at the angel.
[18:53] <Mani> roll 1d20+31
[18:53] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{45}
[18:54] <Alathon> that'll be a.. hm.. -4 penalty to hit without hitting the woman
[18:54] <Alathon> roll 1d20+38+4-4-2
[18:54] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+38+4-4-2 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{55}
[18:54] <Alathon> The angel is hampered by the woman, and the confined space
[18:54] <Alathon> But still avoids
[18:54] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[18:56] * Sheena jets down to the window and notices whats going on inside.
[18:57] <Alathon> and?
[18:57] * Sheena points dark heart at the women, Dark Heart: Protection
[18:57] <Sheena> (and hits her with a shield)
[18:57] <Kuonji> (if you critfail and hit him, I'll murder you)
[18:57] <Alathon> (you can only cast it on yourself)
[18:57] <Alathon> (if you get close, you can try to get her within the shield
[18:58] <Sheena> (... Since when? )
[18:58] <Sheena> (ok.. )
[18:58] <Alathon> (since the first really big fight with the yamahas)
[18:58] * Sheena does so then
[18:59] <Sheena> roll 1d20+26 bind after moving
[18:59] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+26 bind after moving --> [ 1d20=19 ]{45}
[18:59] <Sheena> (gah!)
[18:59] <Alathon> roll 1d20+36-4-2
[18:59] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+36-4-2 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{37}
[18:59] <Alathon> He's bound.
[18:59] <Kuonji> (NICE)
[18:59] <Sheena> (...zomg)
[18:59] <Alathon> roll 1d20+4
[18:59] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{6}
[19:00] <Alathon> And his eyes bug out when he tries to do.. something.. and it fails. Instead, he tears at the bind.
[19:00] <Alathon> roll 1d4+5
[19:00] <Reis> (Wtf? She HIT?)
[19:00] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d4+5 --> [ 1d4=3 ]{8}
[19:00] * Kuonji uses his silence ability on him
[19:00] <Sheena> (how many actions this uber guy have?)
[19:00] <Alathon> The entire room is silencesd.
[19:00] <Alathon> (count how many things he's done this round)
[19:01] <Reis> (Gah! There goes my spell :P )
[19:01] <Alathon> Reis, you're up.
[19:01] <Alathon> The woman runs the fuck away from him, as soon as he's tangled.
[19:01] <Alathon> She heads upstairs.
[19:01] <Kuonji> (she's going to come back down with a gun XD)
[19:01] * Reis tries to teleport out of the room and toss her own bind in from outside.
[19:02] <Reis> (Can I do that?)
[19:02] <Alathon> (okay, wait a sec
[19:02] <Alathon> (Sheena, you haven't had a bind since your last respec)
[19:05] <Alathon> okay, you know what
[19:05] <Alathon> this has gone on forever.
[19:05] <Reis> (... Joy)
[19:05] <Alathon> Session End.
[19:05] * Sheena beats head on desk
[19:05] <Alathon> We'll pick up next week with this maybe-hostage-situation.
[19:05] <Kuonji> ok
[19:05] * Kuonji is now known as Ataru
[19:05] <Sheena> gah
[19:06] <Reis> All right.
[19:06] <Ataru> thank god, I can get some grub now
[19:06] <Sheena> i've had to crap for so long.. now i just dont any more.
[19:06] <Ataru> I'm fucking STARVED
[19:06] <Sheena> think i should go to the er or something...
[19:06] <Alathon> I'm going to get food as well, bbiaf.
[19:06] <Mani> Ewww
[19:06] * Sheena is now known as DCG
[19:06] * Mani is now known as Yarrow
[19:06] <Reis> ... Did NOT need or want to know that, DC.
[19:06] * Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf
[19:06] <Rockman_Zero> ...
[19:07] * Rockman_Zero is now known as Gas-mast_RZ
[19:07] * Gas-mast_RZ is now known as Hazmat_RZ
[19:34] <Yarrow> Dicebot was really annoying tonight.
[19:35] <Pale_Wolf> Indeed, it hated us.
[19:36] <Pale_Wolf> ... And I'm still at 19 HP, so I'm on a cliffhanger :P
[19:45] <Yarrow> I'm sure Reis will be all right. Especially if she backs off to finish the downed sword angels or somesuch.
[19:46] <Pale_Wolf> Yeah, I've got a fairly good chance of surviving, especially since I'll keep regenning unless the angel takes a few rounds to finish me.
[19:49] <Ataru> well, I got a kill at least
[19:49] <Ataru> and some loot
[19:49] <Pale_Wolf> Oh? You got loot too?
[19:49] <Ataru> one of those guns, and some potentially magical gear
[19:50] <Pale_Wolf> Ah, nice, I was gonna go and retrieve that guy's gun if you hadn't :P
[19:50] <Ataru> hah, what kind of person do you take me for?
[19:50] <Yarrow> Well, I'm happy the princess hasn't gotten killed. :)
[19:50] <Ataru> of course I looted him
[19:50] <Pale_Wolf> I got a bunch of near-kills, plus I'm the only one who's actually hurt the archangel :P
[19:50] <Pale_Wolf> Heh, roger ;)
[19:50] <Ataru> I usually play rogues
[19:50] <Ataru> I figured a ninja was as close as I'd get in this sort of game
[19:51] <Ataru> and I'm the only one who's kept the archangel from killing you :P
[19:51] <Pale_Wolf> Yes, very handy ;)
[20:10] <Pale_Wolf> Heh. If we can get him fuzzed up for a turn, we'll be able to DEMOLISH the bastard.
[20:12] <Yarrow> You mean get him drunk? :)
[20:12] <Pale_Wolf> Yup, drunk on attacks to dodge :P
[20:17] <Ataru> ...
[20:17] <Ataru> god damn fucking mouse
[20:17] <Ataru> little bastard is fucking FAST
[21:37] <Pale_Wolf> Hm, Alathon, you back yet?
[22:06] <Hazmat_RZ> Ny the way, PW....
[22:06] <Hazmat_RZ> If you ever get around to playing Exteel... My handle is Valsion
[22:07] <Pale_Wolf> Heh. What, want me to take Ferlion? :P
[22:07] <Hazmat_RZ> I don't know what the hell that even is. ;P
[22:08] <Pale_Wolf> Lat's final mech :P
[22:09] <Ataru> ?
[22:09] <Hazmat_RZ> Ah.
[22:10] <Hazmat_RZ> Ataru: A game called Exteel...
[22:10] <Hazmat_RZ> It's free to download and play. :D
[22:10] <Ataru> ?
[22:10] <Ataru> ?
[22:10] <Ataru> that tells me nothing about it
[22:10] <Hazmat_RZ> http://www.exteel.com/us/
[22:10] <Hazmat_RZ> That should.
[22:37] <Yarrow> I'm guessing Alathon was really hungry.
[22:39] <Ataru> maybe he choked to death
[22:40] <Yarrow> And wouldn't you feel great if it turned out he had. :p
[22:41] <Ataru> eh, not like we'd ever know
[22:41] <Ataru> he just wouldn't show up any more
[22:41] <Pale_Wolf> Indeed, unless a relative sees his IRC window and decides to tell us.
[22:45] <Yarrow> I want a beam katana.
[22:46] * Pale_Wolf blinks. Yarrow, has Rocko taken over your window?
[22:47] <Yarrow> It's the main character's weapon in No More Heroes.
[22:47] <Ataru> she's probably been playing no more heros
[22:47] <Ataru> ...
[22:47] <Ataru> looks like I was right
[22:48] <Pale_Wolf> Heh.
[22:50] <Yarrow> Ok, if it comes down to it, I have no use whatsoever for a beam katana.
[22:51] <Pale_Wolf> Awww, you don't?
[22:51] <Ataru> sure you do
[22:51] <Ataru> I know I do
[22:52] <Yarrow> What would you do with one?
[22:53] <Ataru> kill people, what else?
[22:55] * Yarrow doesn't have a need for that at present.
[22:57] <Ataru> bah, lies
[22:57] <Ataru> I'm sure there's a coworker or aquaitance you
[22:57] <Ataru> 'd love to mutilate
[22:58] <Ataru> there always is
[23:07] <Yarrow> Btw, beam katana: http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb30 ... 95916c.jpg
[23:10] <Hazmat_RZ> ...
[23:10] <Ataru> best part about having one of those is that forensics wouldn't know what the fuck
[23:10] <Hazmat_RZ> Looks more like a beam potato-peeler if you ask me. ;P
[23:10] <Pale_Wolf> ... Eh? Why's it a katana?
[23:10] <Yarrow> Because that's what it's called. :P
[23:11] <Yarrow> And that just means you can call your opponent/victim "Potato", Zero.
[23:12] <Hazmat_RZ> Heh.
[23:13] <Yarrow> Of course, the downside to using one is that it has a limited charge and you have to stop and shake it rapidly to charge it again. Kind of inconvenient in the middle of a fight. Especially a boss fight...
[23:25] * Yarrow thinks.
[23:25] <Yarrow> roll 1d20
[23:25] <AlaBot> Yarrow rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{17}
[23:25] * DCG slaps AlaBot around a bit with a large trout
[23:25] * DCG slaps AlaBot around a bit with a large trout
[23:25] <Yarrow> DCG's back! And he's got trout!
[23:26] <DCG> ya
[23:26] <DCG> i fell asleep
[23:26] * Hazmat_RZ steals the trout and eats it.
[23:29] * Yarrow thinks of bluefish in mustard sauce.
[23:36] * Yarrow thinks.
[23:36] <Yarrow> Did Reis take anyone do

[Alathon]

Session 63 - part 3

[23:36] <Yarrow> Did Reis take anyone down this session (besides Sheena)?
[23:42] <Pale_Wolf> No, I damaged the healthy ones :P
[23:43] <Pale_Wolf> There was nobody appropriate for me to finish off ;)
[23:43] <Yarrow> You mean 'nobody else'.
[23:44] <Pale_Wolf> Well... debatable how appropriate that was, though since she HAD just fired a bind at me... :P
[23:45] <Yarrow> You know what the bright side of ending while in combat with the boss is? We get our DR restored. ;)
[23:45] <Pale_Wolf> Oh, yes. That IS nice...
[23:45] <Yarrow> I suppose I should pick up more of it when I can, what with all the attacks I throw out per round...
[23:46] <Pale_Wolf> Yeah, more DR can't be anything BUT a benefit.
[23:46] <Yarrow> Still, can't match the time I double critfailed when swinging both swords at once.
[23:46] <Pale_Wolf> ... Speaking OF next level, what's our XP? :P
[23:47] <Yarrow> We get to roll a d20 for it. The higher the roll, the more xp we get.
[23:50] * Yarrow goes to bed.
[23:54] <Pale_Wolf> Yeah, we're fucked :P
Session Time: Sun Feb 03 00:00:00 2008
[00:09] <Alathon> just woke back up.. bleah
[00:09] <Alathon> what a stupid way to use a saturday night

Session 64

[12:17] <Alathon> alright
[12:18] <Alathon> it now having been 15 minutes
[12:18] <Alathon> and us having three, lets get started
[12:18] <Pale_Wolf> Righto.
[12:18] * Pale_Wolf is now known as Reis
[12:18] * Ataru is now known as Kuonji
[12:18] * Yarrow is now known as Mani
[12:18] <Alathon> we left off last week mid-battle
[12:18] <Mani> (At least Sheena won't suddenly vanish from battle.)
[12:19] <Kuonji> (I might dissapear briefly after the battle to take care of some shit, but I'll be back shortly if that's the case)
[12:19] <Alathon> The team has driven off or killed all but one of a large-ish group of hostiles, suffering a casualty of their own in the process.
[12:19] <Kuonji> (wait, say what?)
[12:19] <Alathon> (sheena got knocked unconscious twice, remember?)
[12:19] <Kuonji> (oh... but she's up now)
[12:19] <Alathon> (true)
[12:19] <Kuonji> (I thought you meant someone was still down)
[12:20] <Reis> ('Suffering a casualty of their own in the process... twice...')
[12:20] <Alathon> The remaining hostile, an 'angel' with spellcasting capabilities, has just taken refuge in a shop.
[12:20] <Alathon> Reis has teleported inside; everyone else is still outside
[12:21] <Mani> (I was inside, having attacked once, when we left off.)
[12:22] <Alathon> (yes, I'm rolling it back to the start of the round)
[12:22] <Mani> (Ah, ok.)
[12:22] <Alathon> fight order: (Usagi, Sakura, Mani, Sheena, Archangel, Reis)
[12:23] <Alathon> Usagi is up first.. and being invisible again, nothing happens.
[12:23] <Alathon> Mani, you're up.
[12:23] <Alathon> er
[12:23] <Alathon> no
[12:23] <Alathon> Sakura's up ;p
[12:23] * Kuonji teleports to the store front and holds his remaining action
[12:24] <Alathon> alright, Mani is up
[12:24] * Mani flies in and attacks the angel.
[12:25] <Mani> (1 attack + extra?)
[12:25] <Alathon> gimme a.. um.. straight dex roll
[12:25] <Alathon> and, yes
[12:25] <Alathon> DC is 14
[12:25] <Mani> roll 1d20+3
[12:25] <Mani> (Bot!)
[12:25] <Alathon> ...
[12:25] <Alathon> sigh
[12:25] <Alathon> it's just as wel, that should actually be a reflex save
[12:25] <Alathon> one sec
[12:26] * AlaBot (~nlennig@c-67-170-72-202.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[12:26] <Mani> roll 1d20+8
[12:26] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{22}
[12:26] * Rockman_Zero (~Zero@124-169-140-53.dyn.iinet.net.au) Quit (Connection reset by peer)
[12:26] * Rockman_Zero (~Zero@124-169-140-53.dyn.iinet.net.au) has joined #crystaltokyo
[12:27] <Reis> (Wow, she saved so hard it peered Rocko)
[12:27] <Rockman_Zero> (Gah... Alright, I'm off to bed. Best of luck to you all, and I hope everyone has a good time. :D)
[12:28] <Alathon> (gnight)
[12:28] <Reis> (Night Rocks)
[12:28] <Mani> roll 2#1d20+31
[12:28] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{43}, [ 1d20=3 ]{34}
[12:28] * Rockman_Zero (~Zero@124-169-140-53.dyn.iinet.net.au) has left #crystaltokyo
[12:29] <Mani> (At least neither was a 1...)
[12:29] * Alathon changes topic to 'Fight Order: Usagi, Sakura, Mani, Sheena, Archangel, Reis'
[12:29] <Alathon> he's flatfooted, so you've got a chance
[12:29] <Alathon> roll 1d20+22
[12:29] <Alathon> roll 1d20+20
[12:29] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+22 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{40}
[12:29] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{21}
[12:29] <Alathon> Both hit
[12:29] <Alathon> (er, wait)
[12:29] <Alathon> (sigh)
[12:30] <Reis> (Wow, his dodge went way... down. Darn.)

[12:30] <Alathon> roll 1d20+33
[12:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{51}
[12:30] <Alathon> roll 1d20+31

[12:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{32}
[12:30] <Alathon> (.....right. anyways.)
[12:30] <Reis> (... The same rolls?)
[12:30] <Mani> (Well, you didn't need to reroll to change the bonus, but it works out the same... :) )
[12:30] <Alathon> (cool, only a 1 in 400 chance of that)
[12:30] <Kuonji> (what the fuck?)
[12:30] <Mani> roll 1d8+8 AP1
[12:30] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d8+8 AP1 --> [ 1d8=2 ]{10}

[12:31] <Mani> roll 3d8
[12:31] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=18 ]{18}
[12:31] <Kuonji> (I'm pretty sure your dicebot is posessed dude)
[12:31] <Alathon> He snarls at you as you cut him, and the flesh beneath his skin is torn by your magic, but keeps focusing on subduing the civvie.
[12:32] <Alathon> Sheena is up, she'll fly to the outside of the store, peek in, then hold her action.
[12:32] <Reis> (Aw, no bind? :P )
[12:33] <Alathon> (I'd rather DCG gets to decide, assuming he just happens to come in in the next couple minutes)
[12:33] <Alathon> The archangel struggles with the woman..
[12:33] <Alathon> roll 1d20+23
[12:33] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{27}
[12:33] <Alathon> roll 1d20+10
[12:33] <Mani> (Well, he did it last time, and I think he'd want to do it to try to protect the woman...)
[12:33] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{30}
[12:33] <Reis> (Good thing his roll is suck.)
[12:33] <Reis> (... Wow.)
[12:33] <Mani> (Who needs no protecting...)
[12:34] <Alathon> Who manages to get a thumb in his eye and break free of the grapple.
[12:34] <Mani> (No one relax--last session started out well, too. ;) )
[12:34] <Alathon> She promptly staggers/sprints to the back and up a flight of stairs.
[12:34] <Alathon> Reis, you're up.
[12:34] <Reis> (Yeah, but if it's the ally NPCs who're critting, that means the luck isn't used up for us yet :P )
[12:35] * Reis starts cutting, and will then interpose herself between the angel and the stairs.
[12:35] <Reis> roll 1d20+30
[12:35] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{38}
[12:35] <Reis> roll 1d20+25
[12:35] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{26}
[12:35] <Reis> DR.
[12:35] <Reis> roll 1d20+25
[12:35] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{44}
[12:35] <Reis> roll 1d20+20
[12:35] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{32}
[12:35] <Reis> roll 1d20+15
[12:35] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{17}
[12:36] <Alathon> roll 1d20+29
[12:36] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+29 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{30}
[12:36] <Alathon> DR
[12:36] <Mani> (Oops.)
[12:36] <Alathon> roll 1d20+29
[12:36] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+29 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{38}
[12:36] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27
[12:36] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{30}

[12:36] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{34}
[12:36] <Alathon> roll 1d20+23
[12:36] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{33}
[12:37] <Reis> roll 8d8 AP 20
[12:37] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 8d8 AP 20 --> [ 8d8=38 ]{38}
[12:37] <Mani> (2 rounds into the game and 2 DRs have been used. And now I'll shut up about die rolls.)
[12:37] <Mani> (Er, 1 round.)
[12:37] <Alathon> Stumbling over the stuff he'd knocked over already, he almost falls right onto your sword, before jerking himself to the side and evading three of the four swings.
[12:37] <Reis> The one time the sword connects, it shakes hard, blowing out a chunk of flesh, and Reis then moves to block his path to the stairs.
[12:38] <Reis> (Considering how close we are, that should work for a five-foot hop?)
[12:38] <Alathon> it doesn't 'blow out a chunk of flesh', but it's a solid hit.
[12:38] <Kuonji> (if DCG isn't going to use his held actin now, I'll use mine if possible)
[12:38] <Reis> (Awww. Not even nonvital flesh? :P )
[12:38] <Alathon> sure, but gimme a reflex save, dc 12, to avoid trippingo n all the shit in th is messed up place.
[12:39] <Alathon> (you don't know, Kuonji)
[12:39] <Mani> (Fly?)
[12:39] <Kuonji> (hm?)
[12:39] <Reis> (Unless he just fires a bind in from outside)
[12:40] <Kuonji> (yeah, I was going to try and hit the dude with a bind)
[12:40] <Kuonji> (and who was the reflex roll directed to? me or wolf?)
[12:41] <DCG> (@@%$!@ !@@## F'in A!!)
[12:41] <Reis> (Ah, that's a good question. I was presuming Kuonji)
[12:41] <Reis> (IS it me?)
[12:41] <Alathon> (wolf)
[12:41] <DCG> (Ghad damn! that was like being traped on a suck ass rpg quest line for two hours
[12:41] <Reis> roll 1d20+11
[12:41] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{30}
[12:41] <Reis> (... Give me those rolls on ATTACKS. Or dodges.)
[12:41] * DCG is now known as Sheena
[12:42] <Mani> (*gives DCG a pork bun.)
[12:42] <Sheena> (Sorry guys, Seems my grandpa's idea of a shoping list deal with 'nuts-mixed-green' Icecream-cow')
[12:42] <Reis> (... Wow, I don't even think I dare try to understand that.)
[12:43] <Alathon> okay
[12:43] <Alathon> Kuonji, you held your action first; do you go before the end of the round?
[12:44] <Kuonji> (yep)
[12:44] <Alathon> go for it
[12:44] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+15 shadowbind
[12:44] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+15 shadowbind --> [ 1d20=12 ]{27}
[12:44] <Alathon> (and btw, kuonji/reis, remember that teleporting is your move action if you use it in the future.. there wsa a bit of 'I teleport then I also move' last game)
[12:45] <Kuonji> (Not me dude, I know :P)
[12:45] <Alathon> roll 1d20+21 flatfooted
[12:45] <Reis> (Hm? I gave up my entire action for the round to do that, didn't work?)
[12:45] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+21 flatfooted --> [ 1d20=11 ]{32}
[12:45] <Kuonji> (gay)
[12:45] <Alathon> The widening web of darknesses passes just over the angel as he ducks.
[12:45] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up.
[12:45] <Alathon> You're just outside the store, peering in.
[12:46] <Sheena> (ok)
[12:47] <Sheena> (lets test htis out0
[12:47] <Kuonji> (it's a ball of darkness that breaks open on contact ;_;)
[12:48] <Reis> (For some reason, that statement fills me with fear.)
[12:48] <Reis> (Especially considering how DCG was considering a tentacle bind last night...)
[12:48] <Sheena> (now its dark tentacles from the neather.)
[12:48] <Sheena> (lol)
[12:48] <Reis> (/me sweatdrops. Doing it, eh?)
[12:48] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+27 Bind!
[12:48] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 Bind! --> [ 1d20=5 ]{32}
[12:48] <Sheena> "Hold still!"
[12:49] <Alathon> roll 1d20+24
[12:49] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+24 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{27}
[12:49] * Sheena moves as needed to fire, flying
[12:49] <Reis> (Wow, his roll blew even harder.)
[12:50] <Alathon> You connect, roll your damage and describe it.
[12:50] <Alathon> (and no, it cannot be tentacle raping him.)
[12:50] <Sheena> Rol 2d8
[12:50] <Reis> (The fact that we need to specify this disturbs me :P )
[12:50] <Sheena> Roll 2d8
[12:50] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 2d8 --> [ 2d8=2 ]{2}
[12:51] <Sheena> (wasnt going to do that.... wtf0
[12:52] * Sheena points dark heart at the area the angel is in, Dark bands of power reach out from the shadows and grab on to it.
[12:52] <Alathon> He's now tangled.
[12:52] <Alathon> and burning too
[12:52] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order
[12:53] <Alathon> roll 5d8+12
[12:53] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5d8+12 --> [ 5d8=18 ]{30}
[12:53] <Alathon> Sheena, you're healed for 30
[12:53] <Alathon> Sakura, you're up
[12:53] * Kuonji moves in for a head strike
[12:53] <Kuonji> (what's the penalty for called shot head?)
[12:53] <Reis> (-8)
[12:54] <Alathon> (-8)
[12:54] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+20
[12:54] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{29}
[12:54] <Alathon> roll 1d20+38
[12:54] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+38 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{55}
[12:55] <Mani> (There's no dodge penalty for being bound?)
[12:55] <Kuonji> (wait, what the fuck, I thought he was bound?)
[12:55] <Mani> (Not that it'll matter in this case...)
[12:55] <Reis> (Yeah... isn't he flatfooted?)
[12:55] <Mani> "Reis, the sword angels are going to revive soon. Can you take care of them quickly?"
[12:55] <Alathon> (he's tangled, not bound.. the dodge penalty is actually um.. -4)
[12:56] <Kuonji> (...)
[12:56] <Alathon> (tangle does NOT make someone unable to move or act)
[12:56] * Reis blinks and nods. "Right Mani-san, I'll be back in ten seconds."
[12:56] <Alathon> Mani is up.
[12:56] <Kuonji> (fuck dcg for naming that attack bind then)
[12:56] * Mani attacks.
[12:56] * Sheena (~PyroRaven@c-24-1-32-70.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout)

[12:57] <Alathon> (and it's definately not flatfooted, you're wawlking up to him glowing with faerie fire)
[12:57] <Reis> (Looks like someone did as you asked, Ataru)
[12:57] <Kuonji> (seriously, fuck him.)
[12:57] <Mani> roll 1d20+26
[12:57] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{45}
[12:57] <Mani> roll 1d20+21
[12:57] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{37}

[12:57] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{33}
[12:57] <Mani> (Done attacking)
[12:57] <Alathon> He tries to evade, as much as the ropes of shadow will let him.
[12:59] <Alathon> roll 1d20+31
[12:59] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{39}
[12:59] <Alathon> (apparently it actually just removes dex penalty)
[12:59] <Alathon> (and limits movement and other shit)
[12:59] <Alathon> roll 1d20+29
[12:59] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+29 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{41}

[13:00] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 4#1d8+8 --> [ 1d8=4 ]{12}, [ 1d8=5 ]{13}, [ 1d8=5 ]{13}, [ 1d8=6 ]{14}
[13:00] <Mani> (AP 1. Or do you want me to say AP 10?)
[13:00] <Alathon> All four penetrate, though your sword encounters some resistance.
[13:00] <Alathon> (AP 1.. as in, one rank)
[13:00] <Mani> roll 12d8
[13:00] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 12d8 --> [ 12d8=54 ]{54}
[13:01] <Alathon> He's starting to look more frightened then angry..
[13:01] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up.
[13:01] <Mani> (But she's not here.)
[13:01] <Reis> (And peered)
[13:01] <Alathon> Sheena.. once again, holds her action.
[13:01] * DCG (~PyroRaven@c-71-57-59-109.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[13:01] <Alathon> (or not
[13:01] <Mani> (But not for very long.)
[13:02] <Reis> (... Or, she doesn't. Cool.)
[13:02] * DCG is now known as Sheena
[13:02] <Alathon> (Sheena, you're up; Mani cut the angel up a good bit)
[13:02] <Sheena> (droped at the headshoot)
[13:02] <Alathon> (Reis is heading outside on Mani's command to finish off one of the barely-dead sword angels)
[13:02] <Sheena> (sheena get a comand?)
[13:02] <Kuonji> (dude, naming that attack bind was very missleading)
[13:02] <Kuonji> (I'm a tad irate)
[13:03] <Sheena> (?)
[13:03] <Alathon> (nope)
[13:03] <Mani> (Nope.)
[13:03] <Kuonji> (nope?)
[13:03] <Sheena> (well neather rape didnt sound like something to yell in front of the princess, )
[13:03] <Alathon> (no, sheena doesn't have a command)
[13:04] <Kuonji> (howabout tangle? since, you know, that's what it is)
[13:04] <Mani> (I assume it's called bind in the source material?)
[13:05] * Sheena holds dark heart out as it shifts
[13:05] <Sheena> (done, shiting modes)
[13:05] <Sheena> (*shifting..(
[13:06] <Alathon> (that's the default names for spells that do that in Nanoha, yeah)
[13:06] <Alathon> alright
[13:07] <Alathon> The Arch-angel is up.. and he's gone from pissed, to afraid, and right back to pissed.
[13:07] <Alathon> roll 1d20+40
[13:08] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+40 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{47}
[13:08] <Alathon> so much so that he drops a maximized fireball at his feet.
[13:08] <Kuonji> (fuck)
[13:08] <Sheena> (... well i can't compalne, ive done that before)
[13:08] <Alathon> roll 2dd10
[13:08] <Alathon> roll 1d10
[13:08] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2dd10 --> [ 2d1=2 2d10=13 ]{13}
[13:08] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d10 --> [ 1d10=2 ]{2}
[13:08] <Alathon> dammit
[13:08] <Alathon> roll 2d10
[13:08] <Alathon> okay
[13:08] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2d10 --> [ 2d10=9 ]{9}
[13:08] <Alathon> anyways
[13:08] <Alathon> that's 60 damage, reflex is DC 20 for half, CT armor applies
[13:09] <Mani> roll 1d20+8
[13:09] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{27}
[13:09] <Reis> (Gah. And it wasn't my turn yet, so I couldn't leave! ;_; )
[13:09] <Reis> roll 1d20+11
[13:09] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{16}
[13:09] <Reis> (And, I'm gone.)
[13:09] <Alathon> roll 1d20+11 angel
[13:09] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+11 angel --> [ 1d20=4 ]{15}
[13:09] <Reis> (Bye! :P )
[13:09] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+16
[13:09] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{30}
[13:09] <Sheena> roll 1d20+13
[13:09] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{21}
[13:09] <Sheena> (woo..)
[13:10] <Kuonji> (50hp)
[13:10] * Reis shrieks, and it fades away as she collapses... gently.
[13:10] <Kuonji> (wait, ct armor applies? how many points does that eat?)
[13:10] <Mani> (4)
[13:10] <Kuonji> (cool, 54)
[13:11] <Alathon> The angel itself is almost th rown off its feet, as it staggers, smoking, out the exit of the building -- tangle was burned up.
[13:11] <Alathon> the entire store is a flaming inferno at this point.
[13:11] <Mani> (Wouldn't it have to go through us to get out?)
[13:11] <Mani> (I mean, since we came in behind it.)
[13:12] * Sheena makes a mental note to huge drvile(whats her name) for the mask and glasses when they get home
[13:12] <Alathon> it's a store, and the window is long since blown out -- there's really no way to block it, the area is way too wide
[13:12] <Alathon> (Dr. DeVry)
[13:12] <Alathon> (Maria DeVry I think)
[13:12] <Reis> (Talia)
[13:12] <Alathon> (ahh, yeah)
[13:13] <Reis> (... Wait, DeVry? You named Marius after her? Doh, how'd I not notice that?)
[13:13] <Alathon> The angel looks like it caught the business end of that fireball pretty solidly.. unsurprisngly since it was the closest
[13:13] <Alathon> Anyways.. Reis is down, the store's a burning disaster, and, End of round, top of the order.
[13:15] <Alathon> This place is lit up something fierce, and a very unhealthy place to be.
[13:15] <Alathon> Sakura, you're up.
[13:16] <Kuonji> (shit, chase the angel, or make sure the civvie gets out ok?)
[13:16] <Alathon> (the civvie is upstairs now btw)
[13:16] * Mani calls in New English, "The way out down here is clear! Get out of the building!"
[13:17] * Kuonji pursues that angel and attacks
[13:18] <Sheena> (as mani and sheena stand in the middle of the flames in there armor... think any one running down the staries is going to see that and hall ass right back up)
[13:19] <Alathon> (go for it, kuonji)
[13:20] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+28
[13:20] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{37}
[13:20] <Alathon> (btw, how are you pursuing?)
[13:20] <Kuonji> on foot
[13:20] <Alathon> roll 1d20+38
[13:20] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+38 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{51}
[13:20] <Alathon> He evades.
[13:20] <Alathon> Mani, you're up.
[13:21] <Kuonji> (this is the gayest fight ever)
[13:21] <Reis> (Of course he's got a high dodge, he needs it to take on a whole freaking party)
[13:21] <Mani> (Really? Just what are you attacking him with, Kuonji?)
[13:22] <Mani> (But the whole, cast and run so no one can get more than one melee attack at him in most rounds does seem a bit ... odd. Anyway...)
[13:22] * Mani pursues the angel and attacks.
[13:22] <Mani> "Someone be sure to get Reis out."
[13:23] <Mani> roll 2#1d20+31
[13:23] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{32}, [ 1d20=11 ]{42}

[13:23] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{44}

[13:24] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[13:24] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{41}

[13:24] <Alathon> Second attack hits.
[13:24] <Mani> roll 1d8+8
[13:24] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d8+8 --> [ 1d8=7 ]{15}

[13:24] <Mani> roll 3d8
[13:24] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=12 ]{12}
[13:24] <Alathon> The one thrust that catches him, hurts him.
[13:25] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[13:25] * Sheena flys over and drags reis out of the store
[13:26] <Sheena> (thats it)
[13:26] <Alathon> An excellent choice.
[13:26] <Reis> Sheens, you'll see a faint glow of fractal patterns over the various injuries, as they're slowly sealing themselves.
[13:27] <Alathon> Then angel will promptly fly up, and..
[13:27] <Alathon> roll 1d20+40
[13:27] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+40 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{60}
[13:27] <Sheena> (i vote new dice bot...)
[13:28] <Kuonji> (oh, fucking lovely)
[13:28] <Alathon> Make several gestures, resulting in
[13:28] <Alathon> (it's not like that does anything othe than half his ep cost)
[13:28] <Mani> (And this is why you were silencing him last session...)
[13:28] <Kuonji> (his escape, or sakura's instant death)
[13:28] <Sheena> (oh?)
[13:28] <Mani> (So, that wasn't a concentration check for casting in the bind before?)
[13:29] <Alathon> (no, I forgot that. Sigh. )
[13:29] <Alathon> roll 1d20
[13:29] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{13}
[13:29] <Alathon> (but he would have at least made it)
[13:30] <Alathon> and, it's another maximized fireball at everyone near the storefront
[13:30] <Alathon> which is.. actually, everyone
[13:31] <Alathon> roll 2d10
[13:31] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2d10 --> [ 2d10=15 ]{15}
[13:31] <Sheena> (bitch is in the air now..)
[13:31] <Alathon> roll 1d20+11 usagi
[13:31] <Reis> (... Darnit, and Reis got dragged to 'safety'...)
[13:31] <Mani> (Mm, can he actually get out of the blast radius in the limited time/movement he had?)
[13:31] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+11 usagi --> [ 1d20=5 ]{16}
[13:31] <Alathon> (DC 20 for half.. )
[13:31] <Reis> (/me subtracts sixty more HP from Reis...)
[13:31] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+16
[13:31] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{34}
[13:32] <Alathon> (your armor still applies)
[13:32] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+13
[13:32] <Alathon> (so htat's 48)
[13:32] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{24}
[13:32] <Mani> roll 1d20+8
[13:32] <Reis> (-74)
[13:32] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{15}
[13:32] <Kuonji> (so... 26 damage if you make the check?)
[13:32] <Alathon> His eyes widen as he realize that TWO maximized fireballs haven't taken down all the enemies.
[13:32] <Reis> (The funny thing is that if she was left in the burning building she'd be perfectly fine now :P )
[13:32] <Alathon> (if you make hte check, it's 30 minus armor)
[13:33] <Kuonji> (so yeah, 26 :P)
[13:33] * Reis is scorched badly, given how she can't defend herself.
[13:33] <Mani> (I want to see the look on his face if he's actually not out of the blast radius. :p )
[13:33] * Sheena rips off the now over heated glasses and mash, glaring up at the angel with dark glowning eyes
[13:33] <Alathon> (he's out of blast radius ;p )
[13:33] <Alathon> (he'd risk KOing himself if he wasn't)
[13:33] <Alathon> and.. end of round, top of the order.
[13:33] <Mani> (I know. What is the radius, anyway?)
[13:34] <Alathon> (20 ft)
[13:34] <Mani> "Silence him."
[13:34] <Alathon> roll 5d8+12
[13:34] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5d8+12 --> [ 5d8=23 ]{35}
[13:34] * Sheena brings out to red shells with yellow hazzard markings on htem
[13:35] <Alathon> Sakura, you're up.
[13:35] <Mani> "Sheena, ok for me to close before you fire?"
[13:35] * Kuonji holds action
[13:37] <Sheena> "Dont get to close"
[13:37] * Mani waits until Sheena's attack goes off before closing and attacking.
[13:37] <Sheena> (whats the aoe range per use again? 10 yards? then 30?)
[13:38] <Alathon> (something like that)
[13:38] <Alathon> (you only really need one rank to hit him ;p )
[13:38] <Sheena> (two shots)
[13:38] <Reis> (Heh, Sheens is just going with overkill for fun I guess :P )
[13:38] <Sheena> (hmm, make that one with the ep left, max'ed)
[13:39] <Kuonji> (you better not hit me in the fucking blast)
[13:39] * Sheena slids the shell into Dark heart and aims at the nice target in the air.
[13:39] <Sheena> (are you next to it? in the air?)
[13:40] <Alathon> (the angel is ~30ft up)
[13:40] <Alathon> (sakura is on the ground)
[13:40] <Sheena> (what i figered)
[13:40] <Alathon> (so aim high)
[13:40] <Sheena> "xxxx xxxx xxx xxx!"
[13:40] <Sheena> (aoe, do i roll?)
[13:41] <Sheena> (maxed as well)
[13:41] <Alathon> (no, it hits)
[13:41] <Alathon> (which attack?)
[13:41] <Mani> (Sheena: "Lick cake, you ass!")
[13:41] <Sheena> (buster)
[13:41] <Alathon> (so, 64 damage?)
[13:41] <Mani> (The angel is sufficiently confused by this 'taunt' that he fails to dodge.)
[13:41] <Alathon> (and dc 26 reflex for half)
[13:41] <Sheena> (yes)
[13:41] <Alathon> roll 1d20+11
[13:41] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{29}
[13:41] <Alathon> (yeesh)
[13:41] <Sheena> (doh!)
[13:42] <Mani> (Firing 1 64 damage attack or two?)
[13:42] <Alathon> SHeena launches a globe of purple-black energy rather than a beam; it explodes only a few feet above the angels head, spraying purple-black flames.. the Angel angles itself to ride the blast rather than eat it face first, but is still severely hurt
[13:43] <Alathon> (wait, you're in shooting mode, right?)
[13:43] <Alathon> (so.. 72 damage / 2?)
[13:44] <Sheena> (yes)
[13:44] <Alathon> (and no ap)
[13:44] <Sheena> (no ap or fp ormassive)
[13:44] <Alathon> The angel is seriously hurting, and..
[13:45] <Alathon> Sakura/Mani have held actions, do you take them?
[13:45] <Mani> (Yes.)
[13:45] * Mani flies up and attacks.
[13:45] <Mani> roll 2#1d20+31
[13:45] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{46}, [ 1d20=19 ]{50}
[13:45] * Sheena drops to a knee and leans on her staff trying to catch her breath
[13:45] <Alathon> roll 1d20+38
[13:45] <Kuonji> (has he made his move yet? I'm waiting to preempt him)
[13:45] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+38 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{51}
[13:45] <Alathon> roll 1d20+36
[13:45] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+36 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{45}

[13:45] <Mani> roll 3d8
[13:45] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=16 ]{16}
[13:46] <Alathon> He's right on the edge of death, but not quite there.
[13:46] <Alathon> Sakura?
[13:46] * Kuonji will silence him
[13:46] <Alathon> You succeed.
[13:47] <Alathon> He flies up further, out of the silence, and casts another spell.
[13:47] <Kuonji> (oh fuck this)
[13:47] <Alathon> roll 1d20+40
[13:47] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+40 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{59}
[13:47] <Alathon> roll 2d8/2
[13:47] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2d8/2 --> [ 2d8=8 ]{4}
[13:48] <Kuonji> (can you have him cast an instant death spell on me? it'll save me much frusteration in the grand scheme of things I feel)
[13:48] <Alathon> He launches three streaks of flame straight at Mani's face; maximized scorching rays
[13:48] <Alathon> (no, sorry, I said I'd go easy on death effects ;p )
[13:48] <Alathon> roll 3#1d20+33+6-8
[13:49] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#1d20+33+6-8 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{34}, [ 1d20=11 ]{42}, [ 1d20=6 ]{37}
[13:49] <Kuonji> (easy doesn't mean never using them)
[13:49] <Mani> roll 1d20+22
[13:49] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+22 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{42}
[13:49] <Mani> roll 1d20+20
[13:49] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{37}
[13:49] <Mani> roll 1d20+18
[13:49] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{33}
[13:49] <Alathon> Mani easily evades the first, but the second two are better aimed and connect.
[13:49] <Sheena> (nice crit)
[13:49] <Alathon> 32 fire damage each; CT armor applies
[13:50] * Mani smiles at him.
[13:50] <Alathon> Reis.. regens a point.
[13:50] <Mani> (It isn't a pleasant smile.)
[13:50] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order.
[13:50] <Reis> (Yay! :P )
[13:51] <Alathon> roll 1d20+21+6
[13:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+21+6 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{43}
[13:51] <Alathon> roll 1d20+33-4
[13:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+33-4 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{34}
[13:51] <Alathon> A dull green ray streaks up past Mani and impacts on the chest of the Angel.. nothing happens.
[13:52] <Alathon> Usagi becomes visible after casting it.
[13:52] <Alathon> Sakura, you're up.
[13:52] <Kuonji> (hold action, I guess, not really anything I can do)
[13:52] <Alathon> Mani
[13:53] <Alathon> he's flown up and back another ~30 feet
[13:53] <Alathon> And now he's speeding up a little
[13:53] * Mani glances at Sheena and lets her take a shot before she attacks.
[13:53] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up
[13:54] * Sheena grunts and gets up, her wings snap out as dark ones form on her feet
[13:55] <Mani> (No more area attacks? :( )
[13:55] <Sheena> "Ready dark heart? Lets use full speed, his not getting away from us after all that"
[13:56] <Sheena> ROll 1d20+27 Gigiblade
[13:56] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 Gigiblade --> [ 1d20=14 ]{41}
[13:56] <Sheena> (charge)
[13:56] * Sheena dissapears in a blur
[13:57] <Alathon> roll 1d20+36
[13:57] <Sheena> (Just about out of EP so no more big aoes =\ )
[13:57] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+36 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{56}
[13:57] <Sheena> (OH FUCK YOU)
[13:57] <Alathon> ... yeah, he evades it.
[13:57] * Mani attacks.
[13:58] <Mani> roll 2#1d20+31
[13:58] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{37}, [ 1d20=5 ]{36}
[13:58] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[13:58] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{48}
[13:58] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32
[13:58] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{51}
[13:58] <Alathon> He evades both of these too.
[13:58] <Alathon> Sakura, you have a held action
[13:59] <Sheena> (There only so much that can go on before bad luck turns into plot aginst you)
[13:59] <Mani> (Silence him when he tries to cast?)
[13:59] <Kuonji> (hang on phone call)
[14:03] <Kuonji> (fucking hell, my dad won't shut up)
[14:03] <Sheena> (dads do that)
[14:03] <Alathon> (well just say what you're doing and I'll do it)
[14:03] <Sheena> (why i get mine drink when we hang out, keeps the chatter lower)
[14:03] <Mani> (Mine hasn't said a word to me for years...)
[14:04] <Kuonji> (finally, yeesh)
[14:04] <Kuonji> (I envy you Yarrow, I really do)
[14:04] <Mani> (Well, he is dead...)
[14:05] <Kuonji> (considering how close I've come to killing mine on multiple occassions)
[14:05] <Kuonji> (my envy stands)
[14:05] <Kuonji> (we're talking about a guy who thinks setting me on fire as a child is funny0
[14:06] <Kuonji> (that said, kuonji does nothing because well, he can't do anything)
[14:06] <Kuonji> (actually, I guess he'll go and make sure the burning building is evacuated)
[14:06] <Mani> (You can't silence him when he tries to cast?)
[14:07] <Alathon> (actually, going after the burning building is a good idea)
[14:07] <Alathon> (because the angel is getting out towards the edge of Kuonji's range of environmental control)
[14:09] * Kuonji heads to the burning building to make sure everyone has gotten out
[14:11] <Alathon> Alright
[14:11] <Alathon> The Angel is up, and it tries one more thing.
[14:11] <Alathon> roll 1d20+40
[14:11] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+40 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{57}
[14:11] <Alathon> roll 1d10/2
[14:11] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d10/2 --> [ 1d10=10 ]{5}
[14:12] <Alathon> will save, DC 20, Mani
[14:12] <Sheena> ( / works? does * as well)
[14:12] <Alathon> (probably)
[14:12] <Alathon> roll 1d20*2 test
[14:12] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20*2 test --> [ 1d20=20 ]{40}
[14:12] <Mani> (Mind control bonus apply?)
[14:12] <Alathon> (yes)
[14:12] <Mani> (And I'll take that roll, please.)
[14:13] <Reis> (... He critted his TEST?)
[14:13] <Reis> (Seriously, how does that even work?)
[14:13] <Mani> roll 1d20+15
[14:13] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{35}
[14:13] <Mani> (Thank you.)
[14:13] <Alathon> (apparently the bot is not content to score, it must spike too)
[14:13] <Alathon> Reis continues to regen
[14:13] <Alathon> and, end of round, top of the order
[14:13] <Alathon> roll 5d8+12
[14:13] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5d8+12 --> [ 5d8=24 ]{36}
[14:14] <Mani> "Hit him with anything you can, Sheena."
[14:14] <Alathon> Usagi crouches by Reis's unconscious body, and heals her for 36.
[14:15] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[14:15] * Sheena pulls out another red shell
[14:15] * Mani lets Sheena take her shot first.
[14:15] <Sheena> "Ok, but don't complane when your draging me home
[14:16] * Sheena Slides it in as dark heart triggers it.
[14:16] <Sheena> "Obsidian"
[14:16] <Sheena> Roll 9d8 buster!
[14:16] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 9d8 buster! --> [ 9d8=39 ]{39}
[14:17] <Alathon> (one shot or two?)
[14:17] <Sheena> (math.... i got that feather fall ring right?)
[14:17] <Alathon> (and, AE?)
[14:17] <Alathon> (yes, you have the feather fall ring)
[14:17] <Sheena> (yes aoe)
[14:17] <Sheena> (ok two)
[14:17] <Sheena> Roll 9d8
[14:17] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 9d8 --> [ 9d8=43 ]{43}
[14:17] <Mani> (And that should do it.)
[14:18] <Reis> (Goood night!)
[14:18] * Sheena unlaods with every thign she had left, and starts to drop soon after
[14:18] <Sheena> (ko'ed no engery)
[14:18] <Sheena> (or would that be fainted?)
[14:18] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+11 reflex saves
[14:18] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+11 reflex saves --> [ 1d20=19 ]{30}, [ 1d20=3 ]{14}
[14:19] <Alathon> he evades most of the first one, and hence survives it.. but catches the full one straight on.
[14:19] <Alathon> There's a brief, deafening explosions of darkness against the dull, cloudy sky, after which the angel falls to the ground, trailing smoke.
[14:20] * Mani immediately heads for the sword angels to finalize them.
[14:20] <Reis> (Off battle time?)
[14:20] <Alathon> Yes
[14:20] * Sheena 's armor fades away as she hits the ground
[14:20] <Mani> (Do I manage to do that before they recover?)
[14:20] <Alathon> You have about 12 seconds to get the almost regenned one down, so you'll get there in time
[14:20] <Alathon> since it's just down the street
[14:20] * Reis almost immediately thereafter starts coughing up blood, jerking up to a seated position and glancing wildly around.
[14:21] <Alathon> Usagi's leaning over you, with one hand on your chest.
[14:21] <Alathon> SHe'll continue healing you, now in smaller increments
[14:21] <Alathon> it'll take a minute-ish to get you fully healed.
[14:21] * Mani quickly comes over and asks Usagi, "Finish off the mage or are we taking him prisoner?"
[14:21] <Alathon> You'll all see Kuonji appear on the street with a young, ten-year-old boy, then vanish.
[14:21] <Alathon> Usagi shakes her head.
[14:22] <Alathon> Usagi: "After all that? too risky."
[14:22] * Mani nods and speeds over to the mage, calling to Sakura, "Need any help in there?"
[14:22] * Reis blinks and looks up, frowning and rubbing her burns. "... Sorry Usagi-san, I'll be back to normal in about thirteen minutes on my own..."
[14:22] * Mani then decapitates the mage.
[14:22] <Alathon> Usagi, angrily: "Besides.. I think I know what we're going to do next regardless."
[14:23] <Mani> (Upgrade our comm system for battle!)
[14:24] * Kuonji comms back... "I don't think so, just keep an eye on the kid"
[14:24] <Sheena> (drag's sheena's burt, staped, bullet ridenn body home?)
[14:24] * Mani comms, "Ok. Call me if you need emergency healing for anyone."
[14:24] * Mani checks on the boy and Sheena.
[14:24] * Reis is slowly but visibly healing, and her injuries are starting to vanish as if they never were.
[14:24] <Alathon> Kuonji appears again, this time with a middle-aged woman with two pillow cases full of something or other.
[14:25] <Mani> (The one the angel had?)
[14:25] <Alathon> The boy is a little freaked out by the lady with the translucent green crystal skin, but at least it distracts him from his house burning down.
[14:25] * Sheena is bloddy, shot up, and has a nice blade wound from reis, looks like she's kept toghter by a healing spell,
[14:25] <Sheena> (37/152)
[14:25] <Alathon> Usagi gets to work healing everyone
[14:25] <Mani> (Well, I can't heal her again today.)
[14:26] <Kuonji> "I'm regenerating just fine, I'll be in top shape in a few."
[14:26] <Reis> (How much further does she heal me, and how long do I have to heal up? Like I said, thirteen minutes on my own and I'll be great)
[14:26] * Kuonji checks on the mother and child "You two uninjured?"
[14:26] <Alathon> It'll take her several minutes. She shrugs when Kuonji declines healing, and moves on.
[14:26] <Alathon> She's kinda staring at he shop burning now, too.
[14:26] <Alathon> her
[14:26] * Sheena is drained, and even dark heart is out
[14:26] <Alathon> She shakes her head without comment
[14:27] <Alathon> (er.. I went from talking about Usagi, to the middle-aged woman)
[14:27] <Mani> (Yeah...)
[14:27] * Mani goes to Usagi.
[14:27] <Alathon> Usagi: "Alright, lets get back to the Embassy. Enough of this."
[14:27] * Kuonji sighs
[14:27] <Mani> "We need to check out what they were gathering."
[14:27] <Alathon> Usagi blinks.
[14:27] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yeah.. Sheena, Kuonji, get anything magical you can off their bodies."
[14:28] <Alathon> Usagi: "Reis, Mani, lets go find that bag."
[14:28] <Mani> "It's over there."
[14:28] * Mani points it out.
[14:28] <Alathon> Usagi heads over there.
[14:28] * Reis stands up, stretching, and nods. "Understood Usagi-san."
[14:28] * Mani goes with her.
[14:28] <Alathon> Usagi pauses at the woman.
[14:28] * Reis heads thataway.
[14:28] <Alathon> She grabs her shoulder, and says, "Call the fire department."
[14:28] <Alathon> Then keeps going.
[14:29] * Kuonji will go with sheena to loot the magical stuff
[14:29] <Mani> (Mm, is Sheena awake?)
[14:29] <Sheena> (nope
[14:29] <Reis> (Nope, she's pwnt of EP.)
[14:30] <Sheena> (Need at lest an hour)
[14:30] <Kuonji> (... -_-)
[14:30] <Mani> (Does Usagi retcon that or should I respond to it?)
[14:30] <Alathon> Usagi apparently missed this as she kept going.
[14:30] <Alathon> (respond)
[14:30] <Reis> (That's literally what we call a double-knockout :P )
[14:30] <Mani> "Um, Sheena's passed out."
[14:31] <Alathon> Usagi stops.
[14:31] <Alathon> She then turns around, and marches back to Sheena.
[14:31] <Mani> "From overexertion."
[14:31] * Sheena 's out of it and even dark heart is dim'ed
[14:31] <Alathon> She'll slap her cheeks gently, try some magic.. and nothin' happens.
[14:31] <Alathon> Usagi curses quietly.
[14:31] * Reis blinks and looks back. "... Eh? I'll be good for perhaps one more battle by the way, Mani-san."
[14:31] <Alathon> Usagi: "Alright.. Mani, guard Sheena. Reis, Sakura, and I will go looting."
[14:32] <Mani> "Yes, ma'am."
[14:32] <Kuonji> "Ok."
[14:32] * Reis nods, and moves where Usagi puts her.
[14:32] <Alathon> It'll go slower than usual, since Usagi has to do something over every corpse.. but you'll collect a large assortment of magical stuff from this crowd.
[14:32] <Mani> (Btw, did Usagi heal my wounds or have I just regenned on my own? Ie - can I set hp to full?)
[14:32] <Alathon> Including a bag.
[14:32] <Alathon> (she'd have healed them)
[14:33] <Reis> (Just a sec, phone)
[14:33] <Alathon> With the sword angels dead, they revert to their oversized, ugly-ass natural forms.
[14:33] <Reis> (Back)
[14:34] <Alathon> The Mage's natural form is a bit different.. it's quite human-like, with human toned skin and features, except for the head; it has oversized ears, a ridge running above its eyes, and seems to have two 'lobes' protruding above each eye for maybe half an inch
[14:34] * Reis will assist with the looting and shove things into Kuonji's hair.
[14:34] <Mani> (Mani amuses herself by quietly draining Sheena's ep as they recover.)
[14:35] <Reis> (... DOH!)
[14:35] <Sheena> (Hah! I love how usagi says "im going looting")
[14:35] <Reis> (That first fireball wouldn't have even hit us. I had a FORCE FIELD. ;_; )
[14:36] <Reis> (This is why players must always keep track of their abilities.)
[14:37] <Mani> (With great powers come great bookkeeping requirements.)
[14:37] <Alathon> Anyways..
[14:38] <Reis> (Indeed.)
[14:38] <Alathon> The looting will take a little while, but thankfully there's nof urther hostiles arriving.
[14:38] <Reis> (But DAMN, it's such a doh moment to realize I shouldn't have gone down at all :P )
[14:38] <Alathon> The party will be able to make its way back to the embassy without incident.
[14:38] <Reis> (What were the angels looting? Did we check that?)
[14:38] <Mani> (Did we discover anything interesting about what they were taking? And what did we do with their loot?)
[14:38] <Alathon> it's all in what seems to be a bottomless bacg.
[14:38] <Alathon> So unless you poured it out on the street, youd on't know yet.
[14:39] <Alathon> Sakura has everything except the bag, which Usagi has.
[14:39] <Reis> (Heh. The bag of holding had to show up sooner or later :P )
[14:39] <Alathon> She felt it would be a bad idea to have it put in Sakura's hair space; she didn't explain why.
[14:40] <Mani> (She muttered something about 'first edition rules' but refused to elaborate.)
[14:40] <Alathon> (well, wait)
[14:40] <Alathon> (Ataru, you still want that death effect?)
[14:40] <Reis> (... Uh... Oh dear.)
[14:40] <Alathon> (I can't imagine th ere being much that's more fatal than having your hair turn into a rift between dimensions)
[14:41] <Sheena> (would make it hard to shampoo)
[14:41] <Mani> (A vital organ doing it?)
[14:42] <Kuonji> (aw come on, what's wrong with putting a bag of holding inside a bag of holding? :P)
[14:42] <Mani> (Why am I imagining that once the attack is over we'll discover that the woman has filed a complaint against us for 'destroying her store'?)
[14:43] <Alathon> (Anyways, I'll take that as a 'no')
[14:44] <Kuonji> (It's tempting, but I have a feeling you'd make any new charachter I roll up level 17 just to piss me off)
[14:44] <Kuonji> (that and I'd like to check out kuonji's unison form at some point :P)
[14:44] <Mani> (Pervert.)
[14:45] <Alathon> (hey, isn't that everyone's dream? to find fantastic new alien races.. and fuck them?)
[14:45] <Alathon> (Jay had it right!)
[14:45] <Kuonji> (...)
[14:45] <Reis> (Only the attractive ones. I'm not much into cthulhoids.)
[14:45] <Kuonji> (There he goes... homeboy fucked a martian.)
[14:45] <Mani> (In any case, a character that fits in well with the rest of the party isn't something to sneeze at.)
[14:45] <Alathon> and
[14:46] <Alathon> I think now's a good time for a 15 minute food break
[14:46] <Alathon> We'll pick up on the hour
[14:46] <Reis> (Righto.)
[14:46] <Mani> For a moment there, I thought you said in an hour. :)
[14:46] <Kuonji> (http://www.interq.or.jp/pluto/bureido/pic/c1.jpg)
[14:47] <Kuonji> (http://www.interq.or.jp/pluto/bureido/pic/c2.jpg)
[14:47] <Kuonji> (cthulhu-tan
[14:47] <Kuonji> )
[14:47] <Reis> (Then I'll rephrase that to say that illithids don't do it for me)
[14:49] <Mani> What, you didn't like the plate of them that Celeste served you?
[14:49] <Sheena> hah
[14:51] <Mani> And that last battle was a long, annoying one, but it sure was satisfying to win it.
[14:51] <Sheena> the battle was fun
[14:51] <Sheena> the dice just got annoying
[14:52] <Kuonji> it might have been fun for you guys
[14:52] <Kuonji> it just made me want my charachter to die
[14:53] <Reis> (Hm, even I enjoyed it, despite the fact that I wasn't actually sure whether character death was a minute away :P )
[14:58] <Mani> I never know when Mani's going to get in trouble. She has good armor and a lot of hp, but she's always getting right up in the faces of enemies that can do an incredible amount of damage in a short time.
[15:00] <Sheena> eh
[15:00] <Sheena> if mani wanted some fun she should have jumped out in front of thoes 3 gunners
[15:01] <Reis> (That's why Reis took shots from cover :P )
[15:01] <Alathon> (heh)
[15:01] <Mani> Well, if she were in communication with Sheena and knew the situation IC, she would have suggested more than one person moving in at the same time.
[15:02] <Reis> (I was there too, but they just fired at Sheena.)
[15:02] <Kuonji> i just felt rather useless
[15:02] <Alathon> (you were very effective when timing silences, not so much when you were making single attacks)
[15:03] <Alathon> (and you did well enough last game)
[15:03] <Alathon> Alright
[15:03] <Reis> (Yeah, the two of us were owning a guy who was 3 and 2 levels above us, once we hit our groove :P )
[15:03] <Alathon> lets get started
[15:04] <Mani> (And sometimes a fight won't be suited for a particular character type. Other times, that character will be vital.)
[15:04] <Alathon> we left off with Usagi having lead the team back to the embassy after the fight, Sheena being carried.
[15:05] <Mani> (I imagine that duty fell to me. :) )
[15:05] <Kuonji> (did we give the woman back the shit that the angels stole from her?)
[15:05] <Alathon> (most likely, yes)
[15:05] <Kuonji> (that or we stuck sheena in my hairspace :P)
[15:05] <Alathon> (they didn't really loot anything from her in particular)
[15:05] <Kuonji> (ah, ok)
[15:05] <Alathon> (her shop was up on top of the 'I' of the roads that battle took place on
[15:05] <Mani> ("I thought she was getting better..." "Maybe if she'd had some air.")
[15:06] * Reis would've hung on guard the whole way, frowning to herself somewhat.
[15:07] <Alathon> With no wide area search, Usagi starts finding out what's happening the old fashioned way
[15:07] <Kuonji> (I assume kuonji is at full health by now)
[15:07] <Alathon> by making phone calls
[15:07] <Alathon> (yes, everyone is at full health)
[15:07] <Alathon> (ep is the same, it's been half an hour)
[15:07] * Sheena snores
[15:07] <Alathon> (Sheena's still unconscious, yeah)
[15:09] <Mani> (Celeste: "She always falls asleep afterwards.")
[15:09] <Alathon> It'll take Usagi some time to make contact, but she'll find out that the Riders managed to kill or drive off (mainly the latter) the remaining hostile forces.
[15:11] <Alathon> She'll spend another half hour in discussion with several embassy staffers, leaving the party on guard.
[15:11] <Mani> (*looks back at the mage description that she glossed over before. We fought a ferengi?)
[15:11] <Alathon> (yes)
[15:12] <Sheena> (and you DIdnt let me use a tentacle bind on it? heh)
[15:12] <Alathon> (the ones with the tentacles are the Centauri, not the Ferengi)
[15:12] <Kuonji> (... I was right... wow, that's depressing)
[15:12] <Kuonji> (I hate star trek and i knew what that was)
[15:13] <Kuonji> (I need to get out more)
[15:13] <Alathon> (HAH hah *nelson laugh*)
[15:13] <Alathon> Anyways.. we pick up now, about when Sheena wakes up.
[15:14] <Reis> (Me, I didn't even know there were ones WITH tentacles)
[15:14] <Alathon> I'm sure she's glad to wake up in the land of the living, and not in the flaming pits of hell, or wherever psychotic magical girls go when they die)
[15:14] <Mani> (Bad video game adaptions.)
[15:15] <Alathon> (where they die over and over because they're being played by 8 year olds)
[15:15] <Sheena> (No dilblo-kun dont run off we're just getting started! *wakes up*)
[15:15] <Alathon> (.... dilblo-kun? I know you meant diablo, but that's a pretty absurd typo)
[15:15] <Mani> (It could have been much, much worse...)
[15:15] <Alathon> (the l is nowhere near the a)
[15:15] <Reis> (... Disturbing, actually. And, yes...)
[15:15] <Sheena> (Sure is it!)
[15:16] <Reis> (The t and s are pretty far apart too :P )
[15:16] <Mani> (DCG has his keyboard in alphabetical order. That explains a lot, actually.)
[15:16] * Sheena would have stayed asleep if dark heart didnt insist she wake up with a jolt, so a sleeepy sheena pries herself up from where ever they dumped her
[15:16] <Alathon> they put you on a couch
[15:16] <Alathon> it's reasonably comfortable
[15:17] <Alathon> and being really short, you fit nicely; no legs over the side or anything.
[15:17] * Sheena goes right back asleep on the softness
[15:17] <Mani> (Couch of napping, +2)
[15:17] <Kuonji> (SOUNDS LIKE A SIMS ITEM)
[15:17] <Alathon> You'll wake up five minutes later, when someone is shaking you gently.
[15:18] <Kuonji> (whoops caps lock)
[15:18] <Alathon> When you wake up, Usagi's face is right up in yours, like 2 inches away.
[15:18] <Alathon> She's looking at your eyes.
[15:18] <Mani> (Are the rest of us there?)
[15:18] <Alathon> (you'd be arond)
[15:18] <Sheena> (isnt that like.. pink on pink, relfecting pink?)
[15:18] <Sheena> (that much pink can be dangrous)
[15:18] <Mani> (Mmmm, pink chamagne...)
[15:19] <Reis> (Assuming that was 'champagne'... they make it in that colour?)
[15:19] <Sheena> "mng, soft.. err"
[15:20] <Alathon> She blinks.
[15:20] <Sheena> (you know for usagi to be that close she's like pressing up aginst sheena's chest)
[15:20] <Alathon> Then backs away.
[15:20] <Alathon> (she is, a little)
[15:20] <Sheena> "Oh, hey boss"
[15:20] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hey, Sheena. How many fingers am I holding up?"
[15:20] <Alathon> She holds up two.
[15:20] <Kuonji> (...)
[15:21] <Kuonji> (I'm trying to not read anything dirty into that and I'm failing miserably)
[15:21] * Sheena yawns and tries to cover her mouth and gives a muffled Two
[15:21] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[15:21] <Alathon> Usagi: "Sorry to interrupt your nap, but it's time for a discussion."
[15:22] <Sheena> "So that last shot helped? Used what ever i had left in it"
[15:22] <Mani> "It took him out."
[15:22] * Mani smiles at Sheena.
[15:22] * Sheena moves to sitting up, but she's clearly still tired
[15:22] * Reis frowns, looking over. "Sheena-san... sorry."
[15:22] <Sheena> "Sweeet"
[15:23] * Sheena looks over a bit
[15:23] <Sheena> "huh?"
[15:23] <Mani> (Reis: "I-I lost my temper after you almost bound me and...")
[15:23] * Reis shakes her head. "I hit you in the confusion... I apologize."
[15:23] <Kuonji> "Y'know, I'd like to start working with this Unison thing pretty soon, it might be helpfuly next time we run into a battle where we need to rely on Sheena and Reis to deal the majority of the damage."
[15:23] <Reis> (Yeah, that was actually funny. The dice gave me vengeance! :P )
[15:24] * Reis purses her lips and nods. "I've been working on reading up on the books, and once we get back we should see about running some tests on it, if you're willing, Sakura-san."
[15:26] <Kuonji> "... I did just suggest it, didn't I?"
[15:26] * Kuonji sticks his tongue out at Reis
[15:26] <Sheena> "OOhh ya, that"
[15:26] * Sheena chest her chest where the stabby happened
[15:26] <Sheena> "That hurt.. i think"
[15:27] * Reis sighs. "... Sorry, Sheena-san."
[15:27] * Sheena shurgs a bit
[15:27] <Sheena> "was a good shot
[15:29] <Mani> (Did we lose the DM or is Usagi just being quiet for now?)
[15:30] <Mani> (Looks like it may be the former.)
[15:31] <Kuonji> (maybe she's guilting over the fact that she drastically lowered the team's combat effectivness :P)
[15:31] <Alathon> (she was giving you all time to talk, then I got distracted)
[15:31] <Mani> (Well, without her, we wouldn't have gotten to Chicago in the first place. :p )
[15:31] <Sheena> "Im still drained from all that shooting,"
[15:31] * Sheena looks around
[15:31] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[15:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "Right, no more fights today."
[15:32] <Alathon> You're in a general waiting room/lounge in the embassy.
[15:32] <Sheena> "Any thing to drink? This blood and smoke taste gets old fast"
[15:32] <Alathon> Presumably the rest of the team is there, doing whatever they do to burn time.
[15:32] * Mani reaches for her canteen before realizing she isn't in full gear.
[15:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hmm.. good idea."
[15:33] * Reis goes to take a seat again, leaning forward.
[15:33] <Alathon> Usagi will get one of the embassy staffers to get you all a meal.
[15:33] <Alathon> (and her, three meals)
[15:33] * Kuonji is sitting cross legged at a table playing solitaire
[15:33] <Mani> (You're a ninja--cheat, damnit. ;) )
[15:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "Anyways.. the gist of what all happened is this."
[15:34] <Kuonji> (who says he isn't? you just don't notice :P)
[15:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "About three dozen hostiles flew down, set fire to a single large building, then spread out in teams of varying sizes."
[15:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "These teams attacked civilian and military forces both, damaged property, looted property, and largely retreated when faced with organized resistance."
[15:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "In our case, I suspect more of them would have fled if our battles had been more protracted."
[15:36] * Reis frowns, nodding. "Do you know what building was destroyed, Usagi-san?"
[15:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "Some corporate headquarters, apparently."
[15:37] <Alathon> Usagi: "That's where we're heading once Sheena's steady on her feet. I want a look at it."
[15:37] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Kuonji.
[15:37] * Reis nods.
[15:37] <Alathon> Usagi: "You remember where it is, right?"
[15:39] <Kuonji> "Yes Usagi-sama."
[15:40] <Alathon> Usagi: "And you mentioned that it bore some resemblance to our embassy building?"
[15:41] <Kuonji> "Yes, a bit... Think they may have fouled up their intel and hit the wrong building?"
[15:41] <Alathon> Usagi: "That's what I want to check out."
[15:42] <Alathon> Usagi: "Less than two months ago we knocked off one of their elder statesman, blew away a third of their inter-dim mercenary force, and we haven't been sitting on our thumbs since then, either."
[15:42] <Reis> "It sounds like it... if they were just looting and ran so easily, that almost sounds like they thought they were done with their mission."
[15:42] <Alathon> Usagi: "Some sort of response was expected.."
[15:42] <Alathon> Usagi nods at Reis.
[15:43] <Alathon> Usagi: "It rather does.. though, I'm rather curious as to what they found here that was worth looting."
[15:43] * Mani nods.
[15:43] <Alathon> Usagi: "At least as I understood it, stuff like silverware and jewelry wouldn't have any real value on the inter-dim market."
[15:43] <Mani> "We'll need to go through what we recovered and then see about turning it over to someone who can find the rightful owners."
[15:44] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[15:44] <Mani> "Like I said before, works of art will still be valuable."
[15:44] <Alathon> Usagi: "There is that.."
[15:45] * Reis nods. "Should we check what they were recovering, at least in generalities, before we leave?"
[15:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "We'll pour that thing out and see what they got when we get back."
[15:45] * Reis nods.
[15:45] <Kuonji> "Out of curiosity, why is it a bad idea for me to try and store that sack?"
[15:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "Well.. your hair has some sort of access to some sort of folded space, right?"
[15:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "That's what this sack has too, and sticking two of those together.. I don't know. It just seems like the sort of thing that'd be a Bad Idea."
[15:47] * Mani nods.
[15:47] * Reis blinks, and winces.
[15:47] <Mani> "Wouldn't want the sack and your head to explosively void their contents."
[15:47] <Mani> "Er... I mean your storage space."
[15:49] <Sheena> "eww"
[15:50] <Alathon> Usagi: "Or maybe just stop working.. or get stuck so they only open into each other, or.. I don't know."
[15:50] <Alathon> Usagi: "It just seemsl ike a Bad Idea."
[15:50] <Kuonji> "Hmm... That's too bad..."
[15:50] <Alathon> Usagi: "Maybe we can test it out if we find another one of these things."
[15:50] <Kuonji> "After all, I can use other people's hair as a medium as well."
[15:50] <Alathon> Usagi: "Bud I'm not terribly keen on testing it out on your hair."
[15:51] <Alathon> (but)
[15:51] * Reis blinks. "Test it out on the next angel we meet?"
[15:51] <Kuonji> "So if it's something that I could use to make someone else's head explode... Well, that'd be pretty useful."
[15:51] <Alathon> Usagi: "Well.. I suppose you could test it out on, yeah.. but your hand would still be right there."
[15:51] <Mani> "It could aslo inflict backlash on the power user."
[15:51] <Mani> "So, don't assume there's no risk just because it isn't your hair."
[15:52] <Kuonji> "You never know when a situation might arise where that would be a necessary sacrafice."
[15:53] <Alathon> Usagi, a little cross: "Either way, lets not fool with it just yet."
[15:53] * Reis nods. "But, we should do the testing ahead of time so we know what's involved."
[15:53] <Alathon> Usagi then looks over at Sheena.
[15:53] <Alathon> Usagi: "Sheena, are you good to go?"
[15:53] <Sheena> "I can move"
[15:54] <Sheena> "Just don't ask me to nuke any small towns for a while, im down to poking things if we get into something"
[15:54] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[15:54] <Alathon> Usagi: "So noted."
[15:54] * Sheena calls dark heart to her hands and gets up with its help
[15:54] * Reis stands.
[15:56] <Alathon> Usagi will lead the party out, follow Kuonji's directions, and in around fifteen minutes you'll all arrive at the burned building.
[15:56] <Alathon> Along the way, the party has attracted a bit more attention than you all usually do; a lot of it neutral or concerned.
[15:56] <Alathon> People are a little on edge and less than comfortable with 'others' after something like this going down.
[15:57] <Kuonji> (am I still glowing?)
[15:57] <Alathon> (no, that faded like a minute after the dude died)
[15:57] * Sheena slips on a pair of back up shades as they move along
[15:58] <Alathon> In contrast to how it was last time, Chicago is a lot less bustling.
[15:58] <Alathon> There are people out, but not nearly as many as there were before.
[15:58] <Alathon> Not as many riders as before, either, and they're moving in groups of no less than four.
[15:59] <Alathon> When you get there, you're not the only ones interested.. there are still a couple fire trucks.
[15:59] * Reis strides along with the rest of the group.
[15:59] <Alathon> glancing at the building.. there's a striking resemblance.
[15:59] <Alathon> It's gutted and charred, and one corner has fallen in a bit.
[15:59] <Alathon> However, the overall size and shape of the building is quite close to that of the CT Embassy.
[16:00] * Mani hms.
[16:02] <Alathon> Usagi just stares at it for a couple minutes, taking in the scene.
[16:02] <Sheena> "From the looks of it we might have been the target&qu

[Alathon]

Session 64 - part 2

[16:02] <Sheena> "From the looks of it we might have been the target"
[16:02] * Reis purses her lips, nodding to herself.
[16:03] <Mani> "I wonder how serious an attack it was. Just setting it on fire or levelling the place?"
[16:03] <Kuonji> "I imagine this will not be good for CT/Chicago relations."
[16:04] * Reis nods. "That could have easily been the entire purpose behind it... They wouldn't even have to actually destroy the right building, just one that they could have concievably mistaken for it, and then cause havoc..."
[16:05] * Sheena looks over at reis
[16:05] <Mani> "Hard to say how the people will react. It could conceivably have the opposite effect."
[16:05] <Alathon> Usagi: "Destroying it wouldn't be necessary to kill those inside."
[16:06] <Sheena> "We need to put some more work into portable power emiters"
[16:06] * Mani sniffs the air.
[16:06] <Sheena> "Our embassy seem to be open targets"
[16:07] <Mani> "People definitely died in this fire."
[16:07] * Reis frowns and nods. "Even if they're not, the marines need the firepower..."
[16:07] <Alathon> Usagi looks down when Mani mentions the deaths.
[16:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "Some company that sold furniture. Don't even remember the name."
[16:08] * Reis closes her eyes.
[16:08] <Alathon> Usagi looks up.
[16:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "I think we've seen enough."
[16:09] <Alathon> Without further comment, she turns and heads back towards the embassy.
[16:09] * Kuonji follows
[16:10] * Reis opens her eyes, nods, and turns to follow.
[16:10] * Sheena heads along as well
[16:11] <Alathon> When you get back, she goes and fetches the bag of holding.
[16:11] * Mani turns and follows, not looking especially disturbed by the case of mistaken identity, though still not happy about the people in there dying.
[16:11] <Alathon> Usagi: "I suppose we might as well get this over with."
[16:13] <Alathon> She'll go pester the embassy staff some more, and they'll provide a canvas tarp.
[16:13] <Alathon> She upends the bag, dumpst he contents out... and it takes a while
[16:13] * Reis assembles around the tarp, and will back away if it starts overflowing.
[16:14] <Alathon> The pile is a good three feet high of assorted housewares and stuff that's obviously loot, before more interesting stuff starts falling out.
[16:15] <Reis> (... Housewares? Dare I ask what the swag was?)
[16:15] <Alathon> something close to a solid foot of mixed gold, silver, and other metallic coins pour out on top of the loot.
[16:15] <Sheena> "Thats.. a bit much"
[16:15] <Alathon> Mixed with various paper notes.
[16:15] <Alathon> None of them are legible to anyone in the party; they're not in abyssal.
[16:15] * Reis blinks. "..."
[16:15] <Mani> (Are they local currencies?)
[16:16] <Alathon> two dozen knives of various design fall out; all have metal blades, with varying wraps on the hilts.
[16:16] <Mani> "Hmmm. Looks like this may be their stash from previous jobs, too..."
[16:16] <Alathon> After that come several more weapons, then a barrage of more household items, this one much shorter.
[16:17] <Alathon> Some of them don't seem to serve any particular purpose that you all recognize.
[16:17] * Reis shakes her head. "... Clearly, it's been a while before they unpacked their luggage."
[16:17] <Alathon> Usagi is a little irked by how long this is taking, but keeps going.
[16:18] <Alathon> A number of capped tubes fall out, followed by several dozen bound paper books.
[16:18] <Alathon> Then eight or nine glass (?) vials with colored liquids inside.
[16:18] <Alathon> Then a steady stream of clothes.
[16:18] <Alathon> The clothes go on for some time.
[16:18] <Kuonji> (hah, it's like Al is making up for an entire games worth of missed loot)
[16:18] <Alathon> They're much finer than anything you've seen made in the AFS.
[16:18] <Mani> "One use they could have for generic loot could be to sell or barter for local goods that are for immediate consumption or that would actually bring a profit off-world."
[16:19] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Mani.
[16:19] <Alathon> Usagi: "I think you've got a point.. I've been overlooking something."
[16:19] <Alathon> Usagi: "That bar isn't the only market.. there's all the dimensions themselves. And I'm sure precious metals are worth a lot in some of them."
[16:20] * Reis nods. "Especially dimensions that aren't in contact with the bar. The SLU would hold zero value there."
[16:20] <Alathon> Usagi keeps dumping.. assorted knick-knacks fall out.
[16:20] <Kuonji> "So, what's our cut?" *Sakura asks jokingly
[16:20] <Mani> "If Addington's death did end some contracts, it's possible that smaller groups could splinter off and look for profit on their own. And have a grudge against us for messing up their nice job."
[16:21] <Alathon> Usagi: "Or maybe consider us the only credible local threat."
[16:21] <Reis> (Hm. Hey, wasn't there another bag of swag from the first group we tangled with? :P )
[16:21] <Alathon> Usagi: ".. but, I don't know."
[16:21] <Mani> "Maybe, but in that case, they'd just need to hit a different city."
[16:21] <Alathon> (they had regular sacks)
[16:21] <Reis> (Aww. Roger ;) )
[16:21] <Alathon> (they're long since split up by the locals, and/or stolen)
[16:21] <Sheena> "We're going to need omre people to sort all this..."
[16:22] <Alathon> Eventually, the bag peters out.. it's now created three large piles of stuff.
[16:22] <Mani> (Reis eagerly volunteers to build a sorting golem.)
[16:22] <Sheena> (brb bio)
[16:22] <Alathon> Sorting all this crap out will end up taking hours, even with help, and with Sheena and Usagi identifying the magical items to be set aside.
[16:23] <Alathon> The clothes aren't all male; some of them look to be unisex or feminine.
[16:23] * Reis shakes her head in awe at the sheer AMOUNT of stuff.
[16:24] <Alathon> There's a lot of magic stuff, and an awful lot of it doesn't have an immediately obvious purpose.
[16:24] * Kuonji whistles
[16:24] <Alathon> Usagi eventually prioritizes just getting all the AFS stuff off to one side, so they can pack it up and hand it off to be someone elses problem.
[16:24] <Kuonji> "R&D is going to have their work cut out for them"
[16:25] <Alathon> Usagi looks up.
[16:25] <Mani> "I wonder if this was a small mercenary group acting on their own."
[16:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "No kidding.."
[16:25] * Mani muses aloud.
[16:25] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Mani.
[16:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "That.. would make some sense."
[16:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "Did any of you pick up any of what their leader said?"
[16:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "... I'm assuming the spellcaster was the leader."
[16:26] <Kuonji> "most of what I heard was cursing and orders to retreat."
[16:26] <Mani> "I'd assume so, too. I think he told one of the sword weilders to retreat already."
[16:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "Huh.. yeah, that does sound more like some sort of organization.."
[16:27] <Alathon> Usagi: "... I still kinda wonder why he didn't dim-hop out sooner."
[16:27] <Mani> "He didn't have the bag."
[16:27] <Alathon> Usagi: "I only landed an anchor on him right at the end, when he had no clue where I was."
[16:27] * Reis blinks. "Ah, so that's what that spell was?"
[16:28] <Mani> "I thought that's what you hit him with, from the expression on his face."
[16:28] * Mani grins.
[16:28] <Kuonji> "He might have tried it a couple of times, I did get to stop a few of his spells."
[16:28] <Alathon> Usagi: "Huh.. I suppose that'd make sense. About the bag, I mean.. figured he could fly over, grab it, and bamf out.. or something."
[16:28] <Alathon> Usagi: "He looked pretty bad then.. and, he freaked out when it landed?"
[16:28] <Kuonji> "If he didn't realize it was me, he might have been hoping to take out whoever was silencing him."
[16:28] <Mani> "Yeah."
[16:29] <Alathon> Usagi nods at Kuonji.
[16:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "That, or perhaps he had some sort of contingency."
[16:29] <Mani> "If this was his entire life savings, he'd be very reluctant to leave it. And if he figured he could teleport out at the last second if needed... A contingency?"
[16:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "A.. scripted spell, you could say. One cast so it will activate when something happens. Like, say, him being knocked unconscious."
[16:30] * Mani whistles.
[16:30] * Reis cocks her head. "But, if he did... it didn't."
[16:30] <Mani> "An incredibly useful spell. And, yeah, that would explain his actions."
[16:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "I suppose there's no way to find out now."
[16:30] <Mani> "He expected to get yanked home, but the anchor stopped him."
[16:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "So, one guess is as good as another."
[16:31] <Alathon> Usagi: ".. but, yeah, that'd fit."
[16:31] <Alathon> Usagi shrugs a little.
[16:31] * Reis nods. "I suppose that makes sense."
[16:33] <Alathon> Usagi sighs.
[16:35] <Sheena> (back)
[16:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "We've been.. I don't know. I'll need to talk to, well.. everyone about this. Dammit."
[16:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'm not making any sense."
[16:35] * Mani looks curious.
[16:35] * Reis cocks her head.
[16:36] <Alathon> Usagi massages her forehead.
[16:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "And I have a call I need to make. Mom is going to freak out."
[16:37] <Kuonji> (so what're we going to do with the non AFS non magical loot?)
[16:37] <Alathon> Usagi: "And.. she kinda has a point. It was damned obvious you all had to spend almost as much time covering my ass as dealing with the threat in front of you."
[16:37] <Mani> (Give it to the AFS to deal with, I imagine.)
[16:37] <Reis> (Either give it to peeps, or sell it on the interdim market :P )
[16:37] <Mani> (Oh, non-AFS. Misread it.)
[16:38] <Alathon> Usagi doesn't look terribly thrilled admitting that.
[16:38] <Kuonji> (Sakura will probably want to give some to the people whose house/store got burned down, he feels kind of bad)
[16:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "We'll discuss that later. For now.. four piles. All the looted stuff that came out first, magical stuff, non-magical stuff that we know what it is, non-magical stuff that we don't."
[16:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll be back in a few."
[16:39] * Sheena nods and settels down on a sofa to rest again
[16:39] * Mani nods and works on it.
[16:39] * Reis nods, and proceeds to her task.
[16:39] <Alathon> You've got some time to discuss whatever, while Usagi's off explaining to mom why she ran headfirst into a fight with only one team for backup.
[16:40] <Mani> (We were her backup? I thought she was our ride. :) )
[16:40] <Alathon> (that's a little closer to the truth)
[16:40] <Reis> (Heh.)
[16:40] <Alathon> (she's a badass level twelve, but that's still level twelve)
[16:40] * Mani doesn't have much to say at the moment.
[16:40] <Reis> (Well, the healing and dim anchors were fragging awesome :P )
[16:41] <Mani> (And she doesn't have a dedicated combat build.)
[16:41] <Alathon> (true, and true)
[16:41] <Sheena> (no fuku change for her?)
[16:41] <Sheena> (man she's been slacking, )
[16:41] <Alathon> (sadly, lunar princesses don't level up terribly fast unless they're doing really high exp stuff like saving the universe)
[16:42] <Sheena> (so her mom horded all the xp? heh)
[16:43] <Mani> (Senshi: "Don't worry, princess, we have her!" *ZAP! BOOM!* Usagi: "Kill stealers!")
[16:45] <Alathon> Anyways
[16:45] <Alathon> I'm assuming you all just make various comments about the stuff you're sorting.
[16:46] <Reis> (Apparently.)
[16:46] <Reis> (A good chunk of which is 'What the FUCK is this?')
[16:46] <Sheena> (anythign that sticks out as somethign we woudl want?)
[16:47] <Alathon> (I may end the game a bit early, I'm honestly feeling a little lethargic and tired)
[16:47] <Sheena> (Ok here, i really need to go lay down to)
[16:47] <Alathon> (but we'll see how I feel after my first scotch.. it's almost five, so I can start drinking ;p )
[16:47] <Alathon> there's an assortment of magical rings, some of which could potentially be useful
[16:47] <Alathon> there's other magical gear t hat could be as well
[16:47] <Alathon> none of the non-magical gear really stands out
[16:48] <Alathon> though you do find a bunch more powerpacks for the gun that Kuonji looted
[16:48] <Alathon> He can identify those.
[16:48] * Kuonji will bring out the stuff looted to be added to the piles, being careful not to tocuh the magical stuff with bare hands
[16:49] <Alathon> Since one of you mentioned it, I'll assume he reminded the rest of you to use the same caution.
[16:50] <Reis> (Indeed, we'll be working with gloves lots :P )
[16:50] <Alathon> Anyways.
[16:51] <Alathon> Usagi will come back later, looking a bit happier and relieved.
[16:51] <Alathon> She'll help you all finish the sorting.
[16:51] <Alathon> When she's done, she rustles up some staffers to deal with this.
[16:51] <Mani> "I take it things didn't go as badly as you'd feared?"
[16:51] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yeah."
[16:52] <Alathon> Usagi: "Definately better."
[16:52] * Mani smiles.
[16:52] <Mani> "That's good."
[16:53] <Alathon> Usagi: "So.. here's what's going to happen."
[16:54] <Sheena> (consdereing usagi was calling 'mom' in the middle of the night she lucked out)
[16:54] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hikaru, Jun.. sack up all that stuff, and get it over to the Rider Hall. It's their problem."
[16:54] <Alathon> SHe points to the looted AFS stuff."
[16:55] <Mani> (Commendations for everyone! :) )
[16:55] <Alathon> Usagi: "Larry, sack up all that stuff, label the sacks, and stash them in the storage room."
[16:55] <Alathon> Usagi: "The rest of this, we're going to sack up and take with us."
[16:56] <Alathon> Usagi: "Tomorrow, anyways.."
[16:56] <Reis> (Which was the second batch she pointed at?)
[16:56] <Alathon> (the known, but non-afs stuff... mostly clothing and currency, and some weapons)
[16:56] <Reis> (Gotcha)
[16:57] * Reis nods. "We're staying here for the night, Usagi-san?"
[16:57] <Alathon> The staff get on with their tasks, and complete them promptly in workmanlike fashion.
[16:57] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yeah."
[16:57] <Mani> "And picking up Yuuno on the way back tomorrow?"
[16:57] <Mani> "Or will she go home on her own?"
[16:58] <Alathon> Usagi: "It's not going to take long for people to put two and two together, and figure out we were the target of.. and maybe the impetus for.. this attack."
[16:58] <Alathon> Usagi startles.
[16:58] <Alathon> Usagi: "Crap, I forgot."
[16:58] <Kuonji> "..."
[16:58] * Reis sweatdrops.
[16:59] * Sheena sits up fast
[16:59] <Sheena> "Ahhh crap"
[16:59] <Sheena> "yuuno's going to be pisssed"
[16:59] <Reis> "Um... do you want me to make my way out and pick Yuuno-sensei up?"
[16:59] <Alathon> Usagi: "Comm her, tell her to return to Crystal Tokyo as soon as she's able."
[16:59] <Alathon> Usagi then looks over at Reis.
[17:00] <Reis> "I can move about a mile every five seconds, so it shouldn't take me long."
[17:00] <Alathon> Usagi hesitates.
[17:00] <Mani> "It would be good for her to have a memorized location in Chicago..."
[17:00] <Alathon> Usagi: "Good point."
[17:00] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yeah.. comm her, let her know you're on her way, and fetch her."
[17:00] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'm going to be busy most of the night, I think."
[17:00] * Reis nods. "Thank you Usagi-san, I'll be back soon."
[17:01] * Reis walks out of the embassy, writing up a comm message to Yuuno.
[17:01] * Reis draws her sword, looks up to the sky, and starts hopping, at a pace that won't give her motion sickness.
[17:02] <Alathon> Usagi: "Mani, how much healing 'umph' would you say you've got left in you this evening?"
[17:02] <Mani> "We might want to ask some of our AFS contacts what they think the public response will be to us being the target of the attack. They might resent us, but it's also possible they could feel closer to people who were the target of their hated enemies."
[17:02] <Mani> "If I fuel my spells with the energy of my patients and take breaks, it's virtually unlimited."
[17:03] <Mani> "With the normal need for sleep applying, of course."
[17:04] <Alathon> Usagi frowns.
[17:04] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'd like to avoid that."
[17:04] <Alathon> Usagi: "I mainly want you along for regrowing arms, eyes, and the like. I can handle most of the rest."
[17:05] * Mani cocks her head slightly.
[17:05] <Mani> "Well, healing wounded after a battle or disaster is the main use for this power..."
[17:06] <Mani> (phone - distracted.)
[17:06] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hmm.. well. We'll discuss it along the way."
[17:06] <Alathon> Usagi: "Sheena, get some rest."
[17:07] <Sheena> "Oh good
[17:07] <Alathon> Usagi: "Kuonji, if you could keep on eye out here at the embassy until we return, I'd appreciate it."
[17:07] <Kuonji> "Any orders for me?"
[17:08] <Alathon> (Er, Sakura, rather)
[17:08] * Sheena just flops on the sofa she was on and starts snoozing fast
[17:09] <Mani> (Ok, off the phone. My mother loved the play. :) )
[17:09] * Kuonji nods
[17:09] <Kuonji> (what play?)
[17:10] <Mani> (Macbeth. Teller's (as in Penn &) Macbeth. :) )
[17:10] <Kuonji> (... Shit, now I want to see it)
[17:10] <Kuonji> (I've seen penn and teller live, they're fucking amazing)
[17:11] <Kuonji> (actually... I still have their autograph somewhere)
[17:11] <Alathon> Anyways
[17:12] <Alathon> We'll end here; I'm tired, DCG's aching
[17:12] <Mani> (Teller wasn't in the play, but he designed and produced it, along with Aaron Posner. There were 3 moments of magic in it. It was very good. Lively and bloody, rather than dry & cerebral.)
[17:12] <Alathon> And this is a reasonable stopping point, as there are two solo sessions to be done before we continue
[17:12] <Reis> (All righty)
[17:12] <Alathon> Mani and Reis
[17:12] <Reis> (And, heh)
[17:12] <Reis> (Gotcha)
[17:12] <Kuonji> (I like shakespeare, and I like Penn and Teller, it sounds awesome)
[17:12] <Kuonji> (yay, kuonji gets to fall even FARTHER behind)
[17:12] <Kuonji> (woot)
[17:13] <Alathon> (er
[17:13] <Mani> Nah. No xp for solo sessions.
[17:13] <Alathon> (solo sessions don't grant exp)
[17:13] <Kuonji> (ah)
[17:13] <Alathon> speaking of which
[17:13] * Mani is now known as Yarrow
[17:13] <Alathon> lets see
[17:13] * Kuonji is now known as Ataru
[17:13] * Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf
[17:13] <Alathon> 2738 exp for the session

[Alathon]

Session 65

[12:27] <Alathon> anyways
[12:27] <Alathon> lets get started
[12:27] * Pale_Wolf is now known as Reis
[12:27] <Yarrow> Sakura's always vanishing, anyway. :)
[12:28] <Reis> (Heh)
[12:28] <Ataru> (sorry, overslept)
[12:28] * Ataru is now known as Kuonji
[12:28] <Alathon> We left off last week with the party having finished their battle against the second squad of 'angels' and returned to the embassy
[12:29] * Sheena snores cutely
[12:29] <Alathon> Mani and Usagi went off on their own to do some healing at AFS hospitals, and Reis went south to pick up Yuuno
[12:29] * Yarrow is now known as Mani
[12:29] <Alathon> Sheena napped, Kuonji stood watch.. eventually, everyone got back without apparent injury
[12:30] <Alathon> Unless there's something someone wants to do late that evening, we'll be picking up on the morning after.
[12:30] <Alathon> Anyone?
[12:30] <Mani> (Sleep.)
[12:30] <Reis> (Hm, nope, Reis will study a lot of her books, but nothing special)
[12:31] * [1]Rockman_Zero (~Zero@124-169-136-224.dyn.iinet.net.au) has joined #crystaltokyo
[12:32] <Alathon> in that case, everyone sleeps.
[12:32] * Rockman_Zero (~Zero@203-59-194-154.dyn.iinet.net.au) Quit (Ping timeout)
[12:32] * [1]Rockman_Zero is now known as Rockman_Zero
[12:32] <Alathon> Usagi insists that everyone, staff included, sleep in the bunker beneath the embassy.
[12:32] <Alathon> She delegates someone to carry Sheena down ;p
[12:32] <Rockman_Zero> (Alrighty then!)
[12:33] * Rockman_Zero is now known as RZ_[Zzzz]
[12:33] <Alathon> The bunker is.. a bunker. Spartan furnishings, heavy metal doors, a couple flights of steps.. etc.
[12:34] <Mani> (Muzak that can't be turned off...)
[12:34] <Alathon> They have sleeping mats rather than propper beds, but odds are, everyone is tired enough to sleep well regardless of their bedding.
[12:35] * Reis sleeeeeeps.
[12:35] <Reis> (EP reload?)
[12:36] <Mani> (Mats are perfectly comfortable. Especially if you can turn into a cat. ;) )
[12:37] * Sheena gets a soild night of sleep having needed just that
[12:37] <Kuonji> (we're going to wake up an mani is going to be on someone's face)
[12:38] <Sheena> (usagi grabed her up? heh)
[12:38] <Mani> (You're thinking of Varuni from Pale's game.)
[12:38] <RZ_[Zzzz]> (Wow, Sakura has.... odd expectations. ;P)
[12:38] <Alathon> Anyways
[12:39] <Alathon> There are no explosions in the night, and everyone doesn't die in their sleep from poison gas, or anything like that.
[12:39] <Reis> (Whoo! What a surprise)
[12:39] <Alathon> Operations pick up at around 8am tomorrow morning, as Usagi goes around waking people up (if they aren't already) and informs them that breakfast is available upstairs.
[12:40] <Kuonji> (what, you've never had a cat curl up on you face while your asleep?)
[12:40] <Mani> ("Wait, the princess is waking us? Then how can there be any breakfast left?")
[12:40] * Reis wakes up fairly easily, blinking a bit as she sits up, fixes her hair, and slips on her glasses. She heads up to snag breakfast.
[12:41] <Sheena> (Usagi: Secound breakfast is ready, you better hurry. party: secound breakfast..?
[12:41] <Mani> (She's a hobbit. :) )
[12:41] <Reis> (Heh, I sleep on my side so mine has never managed it. She goes for the legs while I'm asleep, or will just start crunching my ribcage if I'm awake)
[12:41] * Sheena gets up when poked and leaves off in hunt of the bathroom.
[12:42] * Mani gets up and sees if there's anything Usagi needs done before heading to breakfast.
[12:43] * Kuonji goes to get food before the princess eats it all
[12:43] <Alathon> (She needs a sponge bath while she does paperwork. It saves her 5 minutes)
[12:44] <Kuonji> (hmm I wonder if usagi has pocket dimension: stomach)
[12:44] <Alathon> Otherwise.. no, she doesn't, yet.
[12:44] <Reis> (Hm, that could actually be a kinda cool power. Eat anything, and then spit it out and use it later.)
[12:44] <Alathon> (there's an anime about that, I think ;p )
[12:44] <Reis> (Heh)
[12:44] * Sheena wanders into breakfast having washed up a bit and handled basic needs, having burt up all her enger the day before she pulls a usagi and takes out a good bit of food.
[12:44] <Alathon> Breakfast is pretty good.. though the staff in general are a little on the edgy side.
[12:45] <Mani> (Reminds me of a short story where an alien came to Earth and had a portal in his stomach and was sending food back home. I think he was attacked by the owner of a buffet.)
[12:45] * Reis eats significantly, but nowhere near Usagi.
[12:47] <Mani> (I assume Yuuno is here with us now?)
[12:47] <Reis> (Yuppers)
[12:48] <Alathon> Yuuno is here, and in good health.
[12:48] <Alathon> Anyways.. Breakfast is had, and Usagi isn't much for talking until it's finished.
[12:49] <Alathon> Her mouth is otherwise occupied.
[12:49] <Mani> "So, did you run into any excitement, Yuuno?"
[12:49] <Alathon> Yuuno chews, swallows, and responds.
[12:49] <Alathon> Yuuno: "None, thankfully."
[12:50] <Mani> (Hopefully in that order.)
[12:50] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I really wasn't in any shape to handle trouble.. I'm woefully out of shape magically."
[12:50] <Alathon> Yuuno looks a little mournful.
[12:50] * Sheena looks up from her food
[12:50] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'll need to fix that ASAP."
[12:50] * Reis swallows, and nods. "We'll give you a hand if you need it, Yuuno-sensei."
[12:51] * Mani nods.
[12:51] <Sheena> "Carefull there sensei, your normal training ideas might react deferntly with that body"
[12:51] <Sheena> "Might not be the kind core you can channel and focus to grow"
[12:51] <Alathon> Yuuno frowns.
[12:52] <Alathon> Yuuno: "That.. hadn't even occured to me."
[12:52] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Not like I've had time to actually find out."
[12:52] <Mani> "Well, it'll be a learning experience. Not like you shouldn't use some caution when you're training, anyway."
[12:52] * Sheena snorts at yuuno and caution
[12:52] <Kuonji> (man, I hate oversleeping, I'm fuckin starving))
[12:53] <Mani> (But you still have gourmet food in the apartment, right?)
[12:53] <Kuonji> (lobster)
[12:53] <Kuonji> (it's way too messy to eat near my laptop)
[12:54] <Sheena> "Ill help anything i can yuuno, just ask"
[12:54] * Sheena moves her sholder a bit stiffly,
[12:54] <Alathon> Yuuno nods.
[12:56] <Sheena> "as it is, ill need to strech out for a while this morning. All thoes holes and the stabwound are annoying"
[12:56] <Alathon> Yuuno looks a little alarmed.
[12:56] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Holes? Stab wound?"
[12:56] <Alathon> Yuuno looks over at Reis.
[12:56] <Alathon> Yuuno, reprovingly: "You didn't mention those.."
[12:57] * Sheena nods and keeps eating
[12:57] * Reis wilts a little. "Uh... sorry, I didn't want to worry you and I thought it had gotten healed up..."
[12:58] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'm more thinking about how she got them."
[12:58] <Alathon> Yuuno looks over at Sheena.
[12:58] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You *are* alright now.. right?"
[12:59] <Sheena> "Well, I got shot down after bombbarding the target's digin. Dark heart revived me, then i got nailed didnt see what that time. I think the princess saved me there. Then the angle doddged and i caught a reis in the heart.. think the prinecss saved me "again"... "
[12:59] * Sheena over to yuuno and smiles
[12:59] <Sheena> "Ya, just bit stiff."
[13:00] * Sheena looks over to usagi as well
[13:01] <Sheena> "Thanks for that healing boss, it really saved me thoes couple times"
[13:02] <Alathon> Usagi mmphs, then looks ashamed, and finishes eating.
[13:02] <Alathon> Usagi: "Uh.. you're welcome."
[13:02] <Alathon> Usagi: "It was mostly the best I could do in a fight like that.."
[13:02] * Sheena thinks for a bit trying to go over the fight
[13:02] <Mani> "Well, it certainly helped."
[13:02] <Alathon> Usagi: "None of them looked terribly inclined to stand still and let a big glowing pink heart hit them in the face."
[13:03] <Sheena> "Hey mani, think you saved me once to. Thanks... damn. just how many times did i get wasted in that battle?"
[13:03] <Mani> (What if the session had been on Valentine's Day? :) )
[13:03] <Alathon> Yuuno is a bit apalled at Sheena's nonchalant "I got fucked up repeatedly but I'm okay now" description, and went back to eating.
[13:03] <Mani> "Just twice, I think."
[13:04] * Reis nods. "Yes... thank you for healing me up as well, Usagi-san."
[13:04] * Sheena finshed her grub and sets her stuff down.
[13:04] <Mani> "Once when Dark Heart revived you and when Reis got you."
[13:05] * Reis wilts further. "I'm sorry about that... lost control of the sword..."
[13:05] <Sheena> "Sure felt like more.."
[13:05] * Sheena shudders a bit thinking on the feeling
[13:06] <Mani> "Accidents happen in battle. It didn't look like you were being careless, Reis."
[13:08] <Sheena> "Ya, it's no problem reis"
[13:08] <Sheena> "I shouldnt have let myself get into that position in the first place, and speaking on that"
[13:09] * Sheena pulls her come out of her top, its probly busted(bladed)
[13:09] <Mani> (Her what? Oh, comm.)
[13:09] <Sheena> "These are useless for battels like that, and all most a libility"
[13:09] <Sheena> *com
[13:09] * Mani nods.
[13:10] * Reis purses her lips, nodding. "Yes... The angels heard me, and that's the whole reason they were turned to face Sheena-san when she came out..."
[13:10] <Mani> "I think we all noticed that. We should probably discuss it when we're back home."
[13:10] * Sheena rubs a stop on her shoilder
[13:11] <Kuonji> "It's why I usully just text."
[13:11] <Sheena> "Any body stop and grab one of thoes guns? They packed a hell of a punch"
[13:12] <Kuonji> "Yep."
[13:12] * Reis nods. "Most of them escaped with them, but Kuonji-san got one... I'd definitely like to take a look at that thing back in the lab."
[13:12] <Sheena> "I mean, i had two combat barriers up, a flight barrier, and my inhanced armor and still.. "
[13:12] * Sheena shudders a bit again and then drains her drink
[13:12] <Alathon> Usagi: "Good."
[13:12] <Alathon> Usagi: "..that you got one of those guns, I mean, Kuonji."
[13:13] * Sheena looks up at yuuno
[13:13] <Alathon> Usagi, to Sheena: "And you've got a point about the comms.. they're clearly impractical for actual combat operations."
[13:13] * Reis hums to herself. "I wonder if the technology's compatible with our crystal tech... using principles from that might benefit our own equipment."
[13:14] <Sheena> "Sensei, we can't trust out barrier spells to work on stuff like that."
[13:14] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll speak with Jupiter and ask what she has her spec-ops teams equipped with, and if she doesn't have a good answer, we'll work something out."
[13:14] <Alathon> Yuuno frowns.
[13:14] <Alathon> Yuuno: "To work.. or to be sufficient?"
[13:14] <Sheena> 'hmm"
[13:15] * Reis nods. "The ideal would be something we could get messages across just by subvocalizing - quicker than text, but quieter than speaking..."
[13:15] <Alathon> Yuuno: "If they actually don't stop anything, that's one thing.. if they're being overpowered.. well, that suggests we need to develop more powerful barriers.. or better evasive maneuvers."
[13:15] <Mani> "You can never count on your armor or force field or jacket to completely stop attacks."
[13:15] <Sheena> "Sufficient i think.. dark heart would have the details but i could tell the barriers did do something, before failing"\
[13:15] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't know about that, but even a headset would have been better. Or, for that matter, a propper set of handsigns."
[13:16] <Alathon> Usagi: "Old World armies had those, I think."
[13:16] * Reis nods. "Most of it was the sheer _volume_ of fire."
[13:16] <Alathon> Yuuno looks a little relieved.
[13:16] <Reis> "The guns themselves were good, but not even on the level of our current technology."
[13:16] * Sheena pulls out dark heart and passes her to yuuno
[13:16] <Sheena> "Here, you can go over it yourself."
[13:17] <Alathon> Yuuno hesitates a moment, before accepting Dark Heart.
[13:17] <Alathon> Yuuno: "...she's been quiet lately, hasn't she?"
[13:17] <Mani> (Dark Heart: "Transfer of ownership accepted.")
[13:17] * Sheena nods
[13:17] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hmm."
[13:17] <Sheena> "Consdering what came up? I understand"
[13:18] <Alathon> Usagi: "Still, I think it's fair to assume these angels' guns didn't depend on an infrastructure like ours."
[13:18] <Alathon> Usagi: "Which is probably the biggest limitation we're currently facing with Crystal Tech."
[13:18] <Mani> "Maybe a focus for the wielder's energies?"
[13:19] * Reis purses her lips. "That's true, but didn't they rely on power cells just like ours do outside of range?"
[13:19] <Sheena> (Just how much tech/magic genius to we need to ccome up with pylons any way? :P )
[13:19] <Alathon> Yuuno holds the deep magenta orb almost gingerly, but closes her eyes and concentrates on it.
[13:20] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't know.. Sakura, they have anything like that on first glance?"
[13:21] <Reis> (Well, as I remember Sakura's loot included power cells, correct me if I'm wrong :P )
[13:22] <Kuonji> (like what?)
[13:22] <Alathon> (power cells)
[13:22] <Alathon> (or batteries)
[13:22] <Alathon> (or cartridges)
[13:23] <Kuonji> "Eh? Well, the guns have some sort of power cells, I snagged a couple of those as well."
[13:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "Good."
[13:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "We'll definately want to look those over."
[13:26] <Alathon> Usagi finishes the last of her fifth plate of breakfast.
[13:27] <Alathon> Then rubs her belly contentedly.
[13:27] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'm stuffed.. should be good to go for a few hours at least."
[13:27] <Mani> (This is how she builds up the power she'll have when she eventually becomes queen.)
[13:27] * Sheena just rasies an eyebrow at her knowing the correct time the meal will last her..
[13:28] <Sheena> "Do we happen to have a small gym or anything here?"
[13:28] <Alathon> She wasn't eating small servings either.. they were hearty helpings of scrambled eggs, fried potato chunks, biscuits with a heavy pork sauce, and the like.
[13:29] <Alathon> Usagi shakes her head.
[13:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "When we actually get around to building our own embassies, we will."
[13:29] <Alathon> Usagi motions at the buiding around her.
[13:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "This place, we bought."
[13:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hmm..."
[13:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "Alright, plans for today are pretty simple."
[13:31] * Reis nods and listens.
[13:31] <Alathon> Usagi: "I've got a couple meetings with Rider highers-up before we can bail."
[13:31] <Kuonji> (fuck you al)
[13:31] <Kuonji> (make me hungrier... you fuck)
[13:31] <Alathon> (haha
[13:32] <Alathon> (we'll have a food break in like an hour, I need to cook myself a lunch)
[13:32] <Reis> (He's a GM. Evil IS the job description)
[13:32] <Mani> (Last time I tried to GM, I was told I was overqualified... :( )
[13:33] <Reis> (/me pats Yarrow. Don't worry, your qualifications have been a GREAT help to my game.)
[13:34] <Sheena> (yarrow does help me hit the evil quota for my game just by hanging around)
[13:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "Anyways, once I get those out of the way, we're heading home."
[13:35] * Sheena listens to the boss while takign a glance ar yuuno
[13:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "We'll get all the magical stuff to R&D for prompt identification.."
[13:35] <Sheena> "We evac'in this emassies?
[13:35] * Reis nods. "Are we to escort you?"
[13:35] <Alathon> Usagi shakes her head.
[13:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "no."
[13:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "And... yes, I suppose you better."
[13:36] <Alathon> Usagi doesn't look thrilled at the idea.
[13:36] <Mani> "Should I return to the hospital during your meetings?"
[13:36] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[13:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "You should have plenty of time, I doubt I'll be done before noon."
[13:37] <Mani> "Good. I should be able to rely on my own energy, then."
[13:37] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[13:37] <Alathon> Usagi: "That would be for the best."
[13:38] <RZ_[Zzzz]> (Alright, I'm off to bed for real... take care everyone, and I hope you all have fun.)
[13:38] <Alathon> (gnight)
[13:39] <Kuonji> (I need a smoke back in a minute)
[13:39] * RZ_[Zzzz] (~Zero@124-169-136-224.dyn.iinet.net.au) Quit (Quit: Like VS.net's GUI? Then try HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <-)
[13:40] <Alathon> Usagi: "Anyways.. rest of the day, you'll all be free to do whatever. I'll have plenty to do, so if you want to do a post-battle wrapup, work on your magic.. whatever.."
[13:40] <Alathon> Usagi: "It'll be up to you."
[13:40] <Alathon> Usagi: "Either tomorrow, or day after tomorrow, I suspect we'll have another mission."
[13:41] <Sheena> "Don't you need us all on escort?"
[13:41] * Reis nods. "Understood, Usagi-san."
[13:41] <Reis> (Rest of the day, the part after that :P )
[13:41] <Sheena> (ahh)
[13:42] <Alathon> Usagi: "Anyways.. Reis, Sheena, Kuonji, you have about halfa n hour to get cleaned up if you haven't already."
[13:42] <Alathon> Usagi: "Mani, you're free to go whenever.. talk to the staff if you want a ride, they can arrange it."
[13:43] <Mani> (How far away is the hospital, btw?)
[13:43] * Sheena gets up and grabs her pack
[13:44] <Mani> "All right. Should I return here if I finish first or join up with the others?"
[13:44] <Sheena> "Roger that, be fresh and cool for escort later"
[13:44] * Reis nods, standing and moving to do her cleanup.
[13:44] * Sheena looks at the norms
[13:44] * Mani thinks.
[13:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "Any questions, concerns, or the like?"
[13:45] <Mani> (Just the one I asked)
[13:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "Return here, we'll be across town."
[13:48] * Mani nods.
[13:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "Alright then."
[13:49] <Alathon> Usagi stands up.
[13:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "Let's get to it."
[13:49] * Mani gets up.
[13:49] * Reis nods. "Understood, Usagi-san."
[13:49] <Mani> "I think I'll get a ride. No reason to make the wounded wait. Maybe I'll walk back and see if I can get a feel for the city's mood."
[13:50] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[13:50] <Alathon> Usagi heads off to do her prep work.
[13:50] * Mani goes off to arrange a ride.
[13:51] <Mani> ("No, don't wake him. It'll be more fun to see his reaction when he wakes up later and has his arm back."0
[13:51] * Sheena heads off to shower and change, any one working in on her or the locker room would catch sheena working throught some long streches before washing up
[13:51] <Mani> ("I don't know... it wasn't so funny when he woke up yesterday to find it gone...")
[13:51] <Kuonji> (back... my roommate is watching My Girl... I just realized the teacher is the first guy to get ripped appart in american werewolf in london)
[13:51] * Reis does her own preparation, gets herself cleaned up and fresh enough to not embarass CT.
[13:52] * Kuonji freshens up as well
[13:52] <Alathon> Anyways, to sum up the mornings activities, they go without incident
[13:53] <Alathon> The meetings are closed door, so you don't know what goes on in them, but Usagi seems content with the outcome.
[13:54] <Alathon> Or at the very least, if she's not, she's not showing it.
[13:54] <Alathon> Mani will be able to handle the remaining wounded at the second hospital.
[13:54] <Reis> (What seems to be the mood towards us from the Harleys?)
[13:54] * Sheena is rather good at just standing there looking scary.
[13:54] <Alathon> (mixed, but generally positive)
[13:54] <Alathon> (there's still a bit of the general apprehension that's been there as long as you've known of the AFS)
[13:55] <Mani> (Doubt they'd be the ones who'd be angry at us for upsetting the Texans by standing up to them.)
[13:55] <Reis> (Indeed, worth knowing at least :P )
[13:56] <Alathon> The overall attitude is positive though.. for that matter, while the civilian population of Chicago is quite unhappy, the Riders seem to be largely in good spirits
[13:56] <Alathon> Likely on account of the gains they've made in the south.
[13:57] <Alathon> If you listen, there's a certain amount of talk about their 'undying general' who's leading the march south.. and between him, and the increasing presence of overseas allies, they're bullish on finally being able to finish this war.
[13:57] <Alathon> Which is a big change from a month ago.
[13:58] <Sheena> (who did they dig up again? )
[13:58] <Alathon> When the Riders were in general pissed off and a little scared.
[13:59] <Alathon> You don't know
[13:59] <Alathon> It's a 'he', that much you know from the use of pronouns.
[14:00] <Reis> (Did he have a name?)
[14:00] <Alathon> not that you've heard
[14:00] <Alathon> it's mostly "The General"
[14:00] <Reis> (Heh.)
[14:00] <Reis> (Guess everyone knows who he is anyway :P )
[14:00] <Alathon> apparently
[14:00] <Alathon> that, or he doesn't have a name, or that's the only name people know him by
[14:01] <Mani> (Or that is his real name and his mother was very sure of his destiny. Is it confirmed that he actually is a he, btw?)
[14:01] <Alathon> You haven't seen his naughty bits, so no.
[14:01] <Alathon> But everyone uses 'he' 'him' 'his'.
[14:02] <Mani> (Ok. Any different impressions from the city folk in general)
[14:02] <Kuonji> (what, like the dude in Catch-22? Major Major Major Major?)
[14:02] <Alathon> They're about what you'd expect from people who mostly haven't seen combat, and got a faceful.
[14:03] <Alathon> Unhappy, scared, angry.
[14:03] <Alathon> The Riders considered it more or less inevitable that their city would be targeted sooner or later.. the rest of the population may have acknowledged it in theory, but didn't really understand that it'd mean that out of nowhere, there'd be people killing their neighbors.
[14:06] <Mani> (Is there much talk of them thinking we're to blame?)
[14:06] <Alathon> Is there anything people want to accomplish in particular while they're stillin Chicago?
[14:06] <Alathon> No, there's really none
[14:06] <Alathon> However, it's been less than twenty-four hours.
[14:06] <Alathon> It's unlikely that the connection has been made between the targeted building and the embassy just yet.
[14:07] <Alathon> And certainly that hasn't made it into their newspapers yet.
[14:07] <Reis> (Hm. I don't think there's anything in particular we have to check up on or do in Chicago, nope.)
[14:08] <Mani> (Hm. Nothing's coming to mind...)
[14:08] <Sheena> (grab some pizza for home?)
[14:08] <Sheena> (other then that no)
[14:08] <Sheena> (hey.. what ever happen to our bikes)
[14:09] <Alathon> (The ones you looted back in Nevada?)
[14:10] <Alathon> (I think they'd be at the.. um.. Erickson chapterhouse)
[14:10] <Alathon> (that's off thet op of my head0
[14:12] <Sheena> "I wonder what ever happned to thoes bikes we had"
[14:13] <Alathon> (Kuonji and Reis would presumably be there with you, wherever you're waiting)
[14:13] <Alathon> (or are you asking back at the embassy later?)
[14:13] <Sheena> (later when we're all back)
[14:13] <Alathon> (then mani and yuuno would be there too)
[14:13] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Um.. my memory's a bit hazy, but wouldn't they be back somewhere in Nevada?"
[14:13] <Sheena> "I can fly faster.. but there's just something about ridding on them"
[14:14] <Alathon> Yuuno deadpans: "Let me guess, the vibration."
[14:14] <Kuonji> (sheena on a harley... talk about easy rider...)
[14:15] * Reis sweatdrops at that.
[14:15] <Sheena> "Hah.. so funny"
[14:15] <Sheena> "More like there where just fun to drive, pervert sensei"
[14:16] <Alathon> Yuuno grins.
[14:16] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well, I wouldn't know, I never got a chance."
[14:16] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Being a ferret doesn't count."
[14:16] * Sheena hmm's
[14:16] * Mani just relaxes on the couch.
[14:17] <Sheena> "Well, i bet your learning all about vibration now.. we can get another hog some time"
[14:17] <Kuonji> "..."
[14:17] <Reis> "..."
[14:19] <Alathon> Yuuno goes with the flow.
[14:19] <Sheena> "Any way,"
[14:19] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well, I've learned a bit.."
[14:20] <Alathon> Yuuno, dropping the topic: "But whatever."
[14:21] <Sheena> "The children are getting embarsed"
[14:23] <Alathon> Anyways...
[14:23] <Alathon> You'll have a few minutes more, but soon enough, Usagi will be along and ready to depart.
[14:23] * Kuonji rolls his eyes
[14:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "Anything left to do on this continent?"
[14:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "Speak now, or you'll be bugging Yuuno for a lift."
[14:24] <Kuonji> "Pick up some beef?"
[14:24] <Alathon> Usagi: ".. you know, that's a really good idea."
[14:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "Lets."
[14:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "I've got some AFS bills."
[14:25] * Reis blinks, and nods. "It'd be worth it to have some back home."
[14:26] <Alathon> She'll procede to get directions toward the nearest butcher (and you better believe the local staff know where they can get BEEF for cheap).
[14:27] <Kuonji> (heh)
[14:27] <Mani> "Any luck on getting live cattle to raise?"
[14:27] <Alathon> Usagi: "Honestly, we haven't even really gotten started there."
[14:27] <Sheena> "What do they got to drink about here that we don't?"
[14:27] <Mani> "Cow milk."
[14:27] <Kuonji> "Milk?:
[14:27] <Kuonji> (EFB)
[14:28] <Mani> (Hm?)
[14:28] <Kuonji> (edit: fuck, beat)
[14:28] <Sheena> "We got fake milk, anything we just dont have? "
[14:28] <Alathon> Usagi: "Nothing I've had that's good."
[14:28] <Kuonji> (white russians)
[14:28] <Mani> "Coffee."
[14:28] <Sheena> "darn"
[14:28] <Alathon> Usagi grimaces.
[14:29] <Kuonji> (... now I want some coffee flavored icecream)
[14:29] <Mani> (Eat you lobster and stop complaining. :p )
[14:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "Either way, we've got plenty to carry back."
[14:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "We've got a couple sackfulls, remember.."
[14:30] <Alathon> Usagi: "So this is probably enough."
[14:30] <Alathon> She motions to the very large bag of various cuts of beef she's got.
[14:30] <Alathon> She's actually struggling with it a little.. it looks to be 30+ pounds.
[14:31] <Mani> "Would you like me to carry that?"
[14:31] <Kuonji> "Want me to stow it?"
[14:31] <Alathon> She hesitates, then offers it to Mani.
[14:31] <Kuonji> (what's usagi's str?)
[14:32] <Alathon> Usagi, to Kuonji: "I don't know which way gravity works in your hairspace.. and I don't think we'd want cow blood all over your other stuff."
[14:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "Either way.. let's get back to the Embassy, I think we've detoured enough for today."
[14:32] <Alathon> Usagi grins.
[14:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "It'll be worth it though."
[14:33] * Reis smiles and nods.
[14:33] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'm guessing you'll have Kuonji's folks cook your shares?"
[14:34] <Kuonji> "Hooray for delicious, delicious mutacow okonomiyaki."
[14:34] <Sheena> "That mutacow made for some damn good okonomiyki"
[14:34] <Sheena> "I think thats a great idea boss"
[14:36] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[14:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll probably hit up Jupiter.. she usually does this lovely sukiyaki for birthdays."
[14:36] <Mani> "I think I'll give mine to Maebh. I'm sure she'll love the opportunity to make something with it. And everyone else will love the opportunity to eat it."
[14:37] <Sheena> (maebh?)
[14:37] <Mani> (An O'Loinsigh I just made up.)
[14:38] <Kuonji> (sukiyaki...)
[14:38] <Kuonji> (/me drools)
[14:38] <Alathon> Anyways.. you'll all reach the Embassy
[14:38] <Kuonji> "Sukiyaki? How is that?"
[14:38] <Alathon> and Usagi will quite easily teleport the party, their beef, and their loot back to Tokyo
[14:39] <Alathon> and, let's break for 20 minutes here
[14:39] <Alathon> so we can get some food
[14:39] <Reis> (Righto)
[14:39] <Alathon> and I *mean* 20 minutes, we'll be starting promptly at 3pm PST / 6pm EST
[14:40] <Reis> (Yes, my lord!)
[14:40] <Mani> (1 xp penalty for every second you're late! :) )
[14:40] <Reis> (... I've been getting back to Code Geass mood, apparently.)
[14:45] <Reis> And, I'm fooded up.
[14:54] <Sheena> (good here)
[14:56] <Mani> I'm still around.
[14:57] <Mani> Which is apparently more than I can say for Audiosurf's servers. :)
[14:59] <Sheena> that sukiyaki line's going to have me driving out to that mall yarrow found tommaro
[14:59] <Alathon> heh
[15:00] <Alathon> Alright, lets get rolling
[15:00] <Alathon> The teleport back is much nicer than the teleport to Chicago was; apparently, Usagi either has some sort of specialized ability to return to Crystal Tokyo, or she just did it better this time.
[15:01] <Kuonji> (back)
[15:02] <Kuonji> (I want some sukiyaki now too)
[15:02] <Alathon> (so do I ;p )
[15:02] <Kuonji> (mmmm cooked beef dipped in raw egg is great)
[15:02] <Mani> (I don't care about sukiyaki, but I've been wanting okonomiyaki for over a week now...)
[15:02] <Alathon> Usagi will promptly lead the party to what's apparently her office.. or suite of offices, rather.
[15:03] <Reis> (Stop taunting me, it'll be a week before I can get out and get anything ;_; )
[15:03] <Alathon> One of them, unsurprisingly, has a very large refridgerator in it.
[15:03] <Reis> (Heh)
[15:03] <Kuonji> (walk in?)
[15:03] <Mani> (Instead of a wet bar, it has a salad bar.)
[15:03] <Alathon> She spends a couple minutes moving things around to make space, before stuffing the meat in.
[15:03] <Mani> (Drive in)
[15:03] <Kuonji> "So, what's this sukiyaki like?"
[15:03] <Kuonji> (heh)
[15:04] <Mani> (Wouldn't he know what it is? I mean, it is a traditional Japanese dish...)
[15:05] <Reis> (I think he means this specific sukiyaki :P )
[15:05] <Alathon> Usagi hmms.
[15:06] <Alathon> Usagi: "It's a single pot dish.. you cut the beef really thin, and cook it with a bunch of other stuff."
[15:06] <Kuonji> "It sounds good."
[15:07] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[15:07] * Sheena wonders just how big a pot something for usagi would need
[15:07] <Alathon> Usagi: "It is."
[15:07] <Kuonji> (do we have chickens?)
[15:07] <Alathon> Usagi: "You don't actually need beef for it."
[15:07] <Alathon> Usagi: "But, it's really only good with beef.. well, if you ask me, anyway."
[15:07] <Alathon> and yes, chickens
[15:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "Anyways, after cooking all the stuff, you dip it in beaten eggs, just a little, before you eat it."
[15:09] * Reis is making an 'mm' sound in the background.
[15:09] * Kuonji tries not to drool a bit
[15:10] <Mani> "So, thin beef, stuff, and eggs? Ok."
[15:10] * Mani doesn't sound overly interested.
[15:11] <Sheena> "Not somethign i've tried to cook, i should give it a shot some time"
[15:11] <Alathon> Usagi: "Stuff, yeah.. vegetables, spices.. etc."
[15:11] <Alathon> Usagi: "Honestly, I'm not big on cooking myself."
[15:12] <Mani> "Me, either."
[15:12] <Sheena> (Got +9 cooking here :P )
[15:12] <Mani> (Got no hands in my natural form, here. ;) )
[15:12] <Kuonji> "Eh, it kinda runs in the family."
[15:12] * Reis sighs. "I mostly live off instant food, I'd love to learn at some point but never had the time."
[15:13] <Kuonji> (+12 :P)
[15:13] <Reis> (Heh. +5 from stats, but... no actual skill :P )
[15:13] <Mani> "Come over for dinner more."
[15:13] <Kuonji> "Aren't you learning martial arts from my family?"
[15:13] <Kuonji> "You could probably ask for a lesson or two."
[15:14] <Kuonji> "I could even teach you a bit."
[15:14] * Reis smiles, nodding. "True... I should try to free up some time for that."
[15:14] <Reis> (But no, Swordbreaker will not become a battle spatula. ... Not regularly, anyway.)
[15:16] <Alathon> Usagi finishes up with the beef, having situated it all so it won't drip on anything else.
[15:16] <Sheena> (heart would likly blast some one, probly sheena)
[15:16] <Alathon> Usagi: "You're all welcome to grab a sixth whenever."
[15:16] <Alathon> Usagi: "Just comm me, and I'll buzz you in. Or you can grab it now, actually."
[15:17] * Sheena nods
[15:17] <Alathon> Usagi: "We just need to take all this looted gear over to Talia and I'll be done with you for the day."
[15:17] * Reis nods. "All right, thank you Usagi-san."
[15:17] <Sheena> "When ever you think its a good time to hit your folks up for some cooking sakura"
[15:18] <Mani> "Well, if we're taking the gear over to Talia first, I won't take any beef now."
[15:21] <Kuonji> "Yeah, I'll come back back for it later."
[15:22] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[15:22] <Alathon> Anyways.. you can accomplish ferrying a few bags of stuff to another room in the building easily enough.
[15:22] <Alathon> Usagi will part ways with the party, having her own obligations to attend to.
[15:22] <Alathon> And.. you're all free to do.. well, whatever, at least until tomorrow.
[15:23] * Reis ferries the stuff, pondering whether she should snag anything to analyze in her own lab.
[15:24] <Mani> ("Reis, where are you going with that rump roast and that cloning kit?")
[15:24] * Sheena waits thill she's in the clean and then goes about shakeing off her near death experince.
[15:24] <Reis> (Heh.)
[15:25] <Kuonji> "Hey Reis..."
[15:25] * Reis blinks and looks up. "Yes, Sakura-san?"
[15:26] <Kuonji> "When would be a good time to start working on my cursed form for you?"
[15:26] * Reis purses her lips, nodding. "We should probably try to do that as soon as possible, we have a mission tomorrow and it will be useful to at least know how to handle your abilities..."
[15:27] * Kuonji nods
[15:27] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I have to admit.. I'm kinda curious myself, I never did a unison.. that was always Shamal's thing."
[15:27] <Reis> "Give me a little while to read a bit more on the theory and set up equipment, and we should be able to do it today."
[15:27] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well.. shamal, and hayate."
[15:27] <Reis> (Shamal? Not Vita?)
[15:28] <Alathon> Yes
[15:28] <Alathon> (er
[15:28] <Alathon> (not sahama
[15:28] <Alathon> (sigh
[15:28] <Alathon> (not shamal.. Signum)
[15:28] <Sheena> (hmm.. shamal would look kinda cool)
[15:28] * Reis blinks, and smacks her forehead. "YOU were the one who wrote that report... I can't believe that never registered, Yuuno-sensei."
[15:29] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah."
[15:29] <Reis> (And yeah, I was thinking that'd be a darn cool image. Though Reinforce probably can unison with Sham-Sham.)
[15:29] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well, it's not like you had a reason to suspect it before I spilled the beans."
[15:30] * Reis nods. "That's true... I guess a Unison Device was in your circle of friends, Yuuno-sensei?"
[15:32] <Alathon> Yuuno nod.
[15:32] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Rein."
[15:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Er, Rein and Agito, I guess.. we never really got on though."
[15:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Um, me and Agito, I mean. SHe was kinda.. abrasive."
[15:33] <Sheena> (set his tail on fire)
[15:34] * Reis smiles. "I see..."
[15:35] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Anyways.. I'd like to watch at least, if that's cool?"
[15:35] <Alathon> Yuuno looks to Reis, then Sakura.
[15:36] * Reis shakes her head. "I'd love to have your help, Yuuno-sensei."
[15:36] <Kuonji> "I'm sure your experience in the matter would be a great help."
[15:37] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well, we'll see."
[15:37] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I've still got a few cobwebs to brush away, you know."
[15:37] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Mani, you wanna come along?"
[15:38] <Reis> (I guess Sheena's over the Sea of Japan making as much of it evaporate as she can)
[15:39] <Sheena> (thats the image she's trying to put out, good to see its working)
[15:39] <Alathon> Sheena's back from deployment, of course she's going to see her woman ;p
[15:39] <Reis> (Well, either that or she went to Celeste's house to get an affirmation of her life now that she's come so close to death)
[15:40] <Mani> "Hm? I don't know that I'd have anything much to offer, and I can understand if Sakura would rather not be gawked at, but if it's ok with him, sure."
[15:40] * Mani glances at Sakura.
[15:40] * Kuonji shrugs
[15:40] <Kuonji> "It's probably for the best that everyone get used to it before we use it in combat"
[15:41] <Mani> "Ok. When are you planning to start, Reis, and how long do you expect to go?"
[15:42] * Reis purses her lips. "I'd like a little while to go over the theory again, but once I'm done that and setting up, I should be ready to start right away. The unison itself, I can't say how long it would take - that depends on how easy it is for Sakura-san to get a hold of it."
[15:43] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well.. at least in theory, it ought to come naturally."
[15:44] <Alathon> Yuuno: "But on the other hand, I've never heard of a unison device that wasn't created as one."
[15:44] <Kuonji> (you can come unnaturaly? what's that like?)
[15:44] <Alathon> (see Urutsokidoji)
[15:44] <Kuonji> "well, we'll find out."
[15:44] <Alathon> (or any 14 year old's lemon fanfics)
[15:45] <Alathon> Yuuno: "So.. where are we gonna try this out."
[15:45] <Alathon> Yuuno: "We'll need some space for Reis to test her attacks, if you plan to."
[15:46] <Sheena> (see Utawarerumono?)
[15:46] <Sheena> (didnt we set up building a big training base before we stoped playing a good whiel back?)
[15:47] <Alathon> (yes)
[15:47] * Reis purses her lips. "I'd say test it out in the lab first. We can gather data and get Sakura-san used to outright unisoning, and then once we've done that we can test out its effectiveness."
[15:48] <Alathon> Yuuno: "That makes sense.. you may want to unison and disjoin a couple times just to get a feel for it, before doing anything further."
[15:48] * Reis nods. "Especially if it doesn't come naturally to him... he'd need to develop the reflex to do it."
[15:49] <Alathon> Yuuno nods.
[15:49] <Alathon> Yuuno: "So.. grab a quick lunch, then head over/"
[15:50] * Reis nods. "That should work, I can access the PDA and read things over while we're there."
[15:51] <Alathon> Yuuno nods.
[15:51] <Alathon> Anyways.. you'll succeed at getting a lunch.
[15:51] <Alathon> I think you can manage that much without a random encounter.
[15:52] <Reis> (I wouldn't be so sure... :P )
[15:52] <Mani> (Roll for special of the day! ;) )
[15:53] <Alathon> roll 1d20
[15:53] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{7}
[15:53] <Alathon> It's a soup.
[15:53] <Sheena> (pwnt)
[15:55] * Reis will, very early during lunch, look up and gesture to Yuuno. "Yuuno-sensei, I took a minute to research that thing about meat we were talking about yesterday. I think I've got an answer."
[15:55] <Alathon> Anyways.. at the lab, Vanyel is busy at work.
[15:55] <Alathon> He's been cranking out crystal cartridges for the last couple days.
[15:55] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Hmm?"
[15:56] <Mani> "Meat?"
[15:56] <Alathon> Yuuno looks over to Mani.
[15:56] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well.. since I got this body, I've rather lost my taste for meat. Even beef."
[15:56] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Which has been rather wierd.. I was certainly a carnivore as both a human and a ferret."
[15:56] * Reis shows Yuuno the PDA screen. "Apparently some elf species have an... 'intimate connection with nature', it makes them uncomfortable eating animal flesh."
[15:56] <Kuonji> "That... sucks."
[15:57] <Reis> "No biological problems, just psychological distaste."
[15:57] <Alathon> Yuuno reads it, and still looks puzzled.
[15:57] <Kuonji> "Can you still eat it as a ferret?"
[15:57] <Alathon> Yuuno: "What's that supposed to mean, though? I hug trees?"
[15:57] <Mani> "Ah. Probably to offset its incredible tolerance for alchohol."
[15:57] <Alathon> Yuuno looks over at Kuonji.
[15:57] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I haven't been a ferret lately.. I don't know."
[15:57] <Sheena> (going to laught of yuunochan hugs a tree and falls into it)
[15:58] <Kuonji> (why'd we have to get a deedlit instead of a pirotess? pirotess is better)
[15:58] <Alathon> (because crystal tokyo is still mostly japanese descent and they're really racist, and yuuno doesn't need that on top of everything else)
[15:59] <Alathon> (but seriously, because she's more oriented around being funny than badass)
[15:59] <Mani> "I'm not sure we can just divide things into biological and psychological. Not when magic can be a factor, too."
[15:59] <Alathon> Yuuno looks over at Mani, nodding slightly.
[15:59] <Mani> "Whatever, exactly, magic is..."
[15:59] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You've got a point.."
[16:00] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It's a function of the universe, like any other.. like gravity."
[16:00] <Alathon> Yuuno: "A function of many universes, for that matter."
[16:00] * Reis nods. "That's true, but, there isn't any mention of actual physical problems like poisoning or health risks - that's what I meant, the consequences are psychological rather than biological."
[16:00] <Mani> "Ok. I'm just not sure what exactly would classify something as being magical."
[16:01] <Alathon> Yuuno: "That which possesses magical energy."
[16:01] <Alathon> Yuuno: "At least, that's the definition I was tought."
[16:01] <Mani> "Thanks... In that case, what exactly defines energy as magical in nature."
[16:01] <Alathon> Yuuno: "that energy being defined by the means of detecting it, and how it interacts with other energies, and.. well, you get the gist."
[16:04] <Mani> "By the way, speaking of alchohol tolerance and your multiple forms, your blood alchohol level will probably remain constant when you change, but your forms probably have vastly different tolerance and toxicity levels."
[16:04] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Like we say what visual light is, based on what our eyes can see.."
[16:04] <Alathon> Yuuno scratches her head.
[16:04] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Hmm.. that's how it works for Moon Cats?"
[16:05] <Mani> "Yeah."
[16:05] <Mani> "I'm guessing ferrets probably don't handle alcohol well at all, and considering how much your elf body can consume without trouble..."
[16:05] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Thanks.. I'll keep that in mind.. it makes sense."
[16:05] <Alathon> Yuuno looks a little troubled.
[16:05] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You've got a point."
[16:06] * Mani frowns and nods.
[16:06] <Mani> "And when you throw in that your transformation in involuntary..."
[16:06] * Mani smiles at Yuuno.
[16:06] <Mani> "Be careful, ok?"
[16:07] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah.."
[16:07] * Reis winces, nodding.
[16:07] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I suppose all it'd take would be one spilled flask of hot sake.."
[16:07] <Alathon> Yuuno looks over at Sakura.
[16:07] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It works with wine, right?"
[16:08] <Kuonji> "I believe so."
[16:09] <Sheena> (that would be amusing, yuuno has to spend a couple weeks running back in a new ferret body becuas of an drinking OD)
[16:10] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well."
[16:10] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'll be more careful, for sure."
[16:11] <Alathon> Around now, the subway will arrive at your stop, a few blocks from the training area.
[16:11] <Alathon> There isn't anyone else in the car you're in at this point.
[16:13] <Alathon> When you get off, you'll find the place largely fininshed, but unpopulated.
[16:13] <Alathon> And when you go inside.. it's less finished.
[16:13] <Alathon> The outer structures have been done, the inner stuff.. not so much.
[16:13] <Mani> (So, this is after trying things out at the lab?)
[16:14] <Alathon> (... sigh)
[16:14] <Alathon> (okay, scratch that bit)
[16:14] <Alathon> (got mixed up)
[16:15] <Alathon> Anyways..
[16:16] <Alathon> setting is the lab.. you know, the one you arrived at, with Vanyel working some machinery ;p
[16:16] <Alathon> sigh
[16:16] <Kuonji> (?)
[16:16] <Alathon> He'll give a brief wave, before going back to focusing on forming another crystal cartridge.
[16:16] <Alathon> (He's Reis and Sheena's techie minion)
[16:17] <Kuonji> (aww, I want a minion)
[16:17] <Reis> (Only 2 CP :P )
[16:18] <Sheena> (ya we paied 2 cp a pice)
[16:18] <Mani> (I have 3! :D )
[16:18] <Kuonji> (you do? O_o)
[16:18] <Kuonji> (doing what?)
[16:18] <Reis> (Us :P )
[16:18] <Kuonji> (oh, har har)
[16:18] * Reis returns the wave, and takes the party into her area of the labs, quickly moving to set up a test area for unison. (Whatever safety precautions she can do, recording instruments, etc. Plus lots of clear space to actually do it.)
[16:19] <Kuonji> (it's a shame Sakura can no longer easily drop mani with stat attacks)
[16:20] <Alathon> Yuuno, to Reis: "That's probably enough.."
[16:21] * Mani occupies herself trying to make a crystal marble while Reis sets up.
[16:21] * Reis flushes, and nods as she finishes getting it into place. "I suppose, I'd just rather have done too much preparation than not enough."
[16:22] * Reis grabs a pitcher of water, and hands it to Kuonji.
[16:22] <Alathon> A crystal marble, huh.. that's something of a challenge ;p
[16:22] * Kuonji strips to his stretchy underclothes and stows the rest
[16:22] <Kuonji> (a crystal marble?)
[16:23] <Mani> (Small sphere.)
[16:24] <Kuonji> (yes, is there some sort of joke I'm missing?)
[16:24] <Kuonji> "Reis, maybe you'd better pour it, I don't want the pitcher to fall on me."
[16:24] <Alathon> (crystal doesn't readily shape to non-angular shapes)
[16:24] * Reis nods, and pours until he changes.
[16:26] * Mani looks up from her work when Sakura changes. (Any luck?)
[16:27] * Kuonji changes
[16:27] * Kuonji starts to splutter
[16:27] <Kuonji> "That's enough Reis"
[16:28] * Reis stops pouring when he changes, and smiles a bit at the cute chibi.
[16:28] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Awww... how adorable!"
[16:28] <Kuonji> ...
[16:28] <Alathon> Yuuno does a fake sparkly-eyed look.
[16:29] * Kuonji starts sending off sparks
[16:29] <Alathon> Yuuno squeals too, for good measure.
[16:29] * Kuonji glares at Yuuno
[16:29] <Alathon> Yuuno stick her tongue out at you.
[16:29] <Mani> "What's wrong with people thinking you're cute?"
[16:29] <Alathon> Yuuno: "nnnn!"
[16:30] <Alathon> Yuuno looks over at Mani
[16:30] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Problem is, it's not the right kind of cute."
[16:30] * Kuonji is giving off quite the light show
[16:30] * Mani shifts to cat form and goes over to Yuuno, looking up with wide eyes.
[16:31] <Kuonji> (is Mani related to Puss in Boots?)
[16:32] <Mani> (Only if Luna and/or Artemis are.)
[16:32] <Alathon> (who's puss in boots?)
[16:33] <Reis> (The one from Shrek, I think he means.)
[16:33] <Alathon> (haven't seen them)
[16:33] * Mani rubs against Yuuno's leg, lightly butting it with her head if no reaction is forthcoming.
[16:33] <Kuonji> (so, mani is related to luna and artemis?)
[16:33] <Alathon> Yuuno looks down, but doesn't pet you or rub behind your ears or anything.
[16:33] <Alathon> All moon cats are descended from Luna and Artemis
[16:33] <Kuonji> (ah)
[16:34] <Alathon> This would be common knowledge
[16:35] <Alathon> Anyways..
[16:35] <Alathon> Yuuno: "So... anyways."
[16:35] <Alathon> Yuuno: "As I understand it, to initiate a Unison, the mage in question must already have some type of magical effect active."
[16:35] * Mani tosses her head and walks away from Yuuno, back to her vantage point.
[16:35] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Typically a barrier jacket, but I don't think it matters."
[16:36] * Reis nods.
[16:36] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It's something for the device to latch onto, and follow back to their core."
[16:36] <Kuonji> "Ok..."
[16:36] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Or at least, that's what I recall deciding on."
[16:36] <Alathon> Yuuno: "So.. Reis, if you would?"
[16:36] * Reis puts the pitcher away, and then moves to the center of the testing area, slipping her glasses off and bringing her Device out, quickly transforming into her armour setup. "All right Sakura-san... whenever you're ready."
[16:36] <Alathon> (you might want to describe your attire and colors again for everyone)
[16:37] <Reis> A dense mass of green RIBBONS are all around her, comprising most of the outfit. And, other than the ribbons - which cover an amazing amount on their own - there's not much else to the outfit. Black stockings covering her legs, a short blue skirt, and a blue top covering her chest under the ribbons - midriff remains bare, as do her arms and pretty much all of her back.
[16:37] <Alathon> So remember, boys and girls.. every time she does that ribbon attack, she's flashing everyone.
[16:37] <Alathon> And she's done that like four times in the last day.
[16:38] <Reis> (No, she's wearing clothing under it.)
[16:38] <Mani> (And getting smeared in blood when they wrap themselves around her again.)
[16:38] <Reis> (Less than even the Senshi wear, but it IS clothing)
[16:38] <Alathon> (Yeah, Reis has some serious kinks going on ;p )
[16:38] <Alathon> (bah, humbug ;p )
[16:39] * Kuonji floats over to Reis
[16:39] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah.. you'll need to get pretty close. You don't have to be touching, but a foot or less would be best."
[16:40] * Reis nods, closes the rest of the distance, and holds out her left hand - figuring it might be easier for him if touching anyway.
[16:41] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Now, Sakura, how do you feel?"
[16:41] <Kuonji> "Its... odd."
[16:41] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Hm?"
[16:41] <Kuonji> "Like standing at the edge of a building, facing away from the drop."
[16:42] <Kuonji> "I can feel it behind me, but I can't see it."
[16:42] <Alathon> Yuuno nods.
[16:42] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Good, good!"
[16:43] * Kuonji floats to Reis extended hand and touches it
[16:43] <Alathon> (Kuonji forgot to let his aura die down.. Reis's hair all sticks out straight)
[16:43] <Reis> (Cracklebzzzt.)
[16:44] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Now.. all you should really have to do, is just.. fall backswards, I guess."
[16:44] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Agito and Rein both described it with different analogies, but the idea was the same."
[16:44] * Reis braces.
[16:45] <Alathon> Yuuno: "They couldn't describe what they actually did to trigger it though.. they just said that they triggered it. Sort of like how you'd say you blink, but probably can't identify what muscle groups are involved."
[16:45] * Kuonji concentrates and tries visiualizing falling backwards
[16:48] <Alathon> Nothing happens.
[16:48] <Kuonji> "Hmmm."
[16:48] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Hmm?"
[16:48] <Kuonji> "I dunno, any ideas?"
[16:48] <Alathon> Yuuno: "No luck?"
[16:48] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well.."
[16:49] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Rein described the process as embracing someone, but from the inside."
[16:49] * Reis cocks her head, blinking at that image.
[16:49] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Which I know sounds really wierd, and not anatomically feasible.."
[16:49] <Alathon> Yuuno: "What did you try?"
[16:50] <Mani> "Maybe just try willing what you want to happen?"
[16:50] <Sheena> (what ever you do dont roll on it!)
[16:50] <Kuonji> "I tried visualizing falling back... Kind of stupid I suppose."
[16:51] * Reis purses her lips. "Or wait... It's as if you're about to fall, right? Maybe you need to just let it happen, rather than actively try?"
[16:52] <Kuonji> "It's not like I'm about to fall... Rather, like I can sense there's a drop behind me."
[16:53] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You could try focusing more on Reis.."
[16:53] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You know, falling.. into her.."
[16:53] <Alathon> Yuuno frowns, as that doesn't really sound... right.
[16:53] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Er."
[16:53] <Alathon> Yuuno: "There's no sexual component to the unison."
[16:53] <Alathon> Yuuno: "At least, none that Rein or Agito ever mentioned."
[16:54] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Just to be clear on that."
[16:54] * Kuonji sweat drops
[16:54] * Reis flushes, not having actually thought of it in that sense.
[16:54] * Kuonji tries focusing on falling "into" Reis
[16:55] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Any luck?"
[16:56] * Reis frowns. "I don't feel anything on my end... Is there something _I_ should be doing, Yuuno-sensei?"
[16:56] <Kuonji> "Sort of... it's closer at least."
[16:57] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Um.."
[16:57] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You'll feel a sort of pressure in your chest, or gut, or wherever you conceptualize your 'center'."
[16:57] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You'll just need to relax your resistance to it when you feel it.."
[16:57] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I figured we'd get to the part where you feel it first."
[16:58] * Mani grooms herself.
[16:58] * Reis nods. "All right... I suppose I should be relaxing, rather than bracing then..."
[16:58] <Alathon> Yuuno nods.
[16:58] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Definately."
[16:58] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Remember, you're taking another person into yourself, actually into your magical core, as I understand it."
[16:59] * Reis nods.
[17:01] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Give it another try or three, Sakura?"
[17:02] * Kuonji nods
[17:02] <Kuonji> ok
[17:02] * Kuonji tries again
[17:03] * Reis 's eyes widen. "I feel something!"
[17:04] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Relax, and do your best to relax and accept that sensation."
[17:04] <Kuonji> (this sounds so wrong)
[17:05] * Reis nods, closes her eyes, and breathes out slowly. "Okay... Ready."
[17:05] <Alathon> (That's why Yuuno spoke up.)
[17:05] <Reis> (Heh)
[17:05] <Kuonji> "That... was decidedly unpleasant."
[17:06] * Reis blinks. "Eh, Sakura-san? Did I do something wrong?"
[17:07] <Alathon> After a moment, it looks like you're doing something
[17:07] <Kuonji> "Keep. Going."
[17:07] <Alathon> Because Sakura flares, electricity coruscading over his form...
[17:07] * Reis blinks, nods, and relaxes again for the next one.
[17:08] <Alathon> Then one wide spark seems to leap from him to Reis, a streak of blue-white energy almost as tall as he is, and Sakura vanishes.
[17:08] <Alathon> For a moment nothing happens.
[17:08] <Alathon> (and, ataru, pw, join #CT2)
[17:09] <Reis> (Yo, Al?)
[17:10] <Alathon> (yeah?)
[17:10] <Mani> (Anything going to be happening with the rest of us this session?)
[17:10] <Reis> (Was waiting on you in #ct2.)
[17:10] <Alathon> (yes)
[17:10] <Alathon> (and yes, stuff was happening with DCG too ;p )
[17:12] <Alathon> anyways
[17:13] <Alathon> Unsurprisingly, Reis is pretty much covered with lightning.
[17:13] <Alathon> There's a loud crackling sound, faint smell of ozone.. the works.
[17:13] <Sheena> (ya sheena got her stuff done, one stop closer to the dark side)
[17:13] <Alathon> Oddly, none of it arcs away from her or toward anything grounded
[17:14] <Reis> "Yes... It's... very warm."
[17:14] * Reis cocks her head. "Pressure...? It feels more like something is... in place?"
[17:15] <Alathon> Yuuno grins widely.
[17:15] <Alathon> Reis apparently doesn't notice the lightning just yet ;p
[17:15] * Reis has her eyes closed, easier to relax that way.
[17:15] <Alathon> After a few seconds.. it settles down, and Reis and her clothing are noticeably different.
[17:16] <Alathon> The greatest change is her hair.. it's gone from a sharp, anime red, to very light lavender sort of color, and is glowing ever so slightly.
[17:17] <Alathon> Bits of electricity arc among the strands of hair, apparently without making it stick out or straighten.
[17:17] <Alathon> The rest of her body demonstrates occasional arcs of electricity as well, often in short-lived rings around her arms, legs, and torso.
[17:17] <Alathon> The pupils of her eyes, if you look, have a tiny, bright blue-white spark in the center.
[17:18] <Alathon> Her barrier jacket, composed largely of green ribbons, has lightened to turquoise.
[17:18] <Sheena> (radian? heh)
[17:18] <Alathon> The sparking energy moving along Reis's body is just barely audible.
[17:18] <Alathon> (and, done with description.)
[17:18] <Alathon> Yuuno pumps her fist.
[17:18] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yatta!"
[17:19] <Alathon> Vanyel has put down whatever he was doing, and is staring from across the room.
[17:19] * Reis opens her eyes, and just blinks at the lightning.
[17:19] <Reis> "Apparently... wow..."
[17:20] * Reis looks herself over a bit.
[17:20] <Alathon> The 'cloth' of your jacket retains its previous feel.. you don't even feel the small lightnings.
[17:23] * Reis draws a bit of her hair forward, blinking at the colour. "This is amazing... I feel so different."
[17:23] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Any pain or nausea?"
[17:24] * Reis shakes her head. "No, nothing."
[17:24] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Any sense of vertigo or light-headedness?"
[17:25] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Or anything that doesn't feel good, in general?"
[17:25] <Alathon> Yuuno: "If not.. give it a couple minutes, then let's give it a spin!"
[17:26] * Reis starts moving around a little bit to see if she just didn't NOTICE the vertigo. "No... it's all very pleasant."
[17:26] <Alathon> (hmm.. do turquoise and lavender work together?)
[17:26] <Alathon> (fuck if I know)
[17:26] <Reis> (Hey, I don't have a picture either :P )
[17:26] <Reis> (Let's say they do :P ()
[17:26] <Mani> (Probably not.)
[17:26] <Sheena> (when your kicking ass and flinging around lighting, the image works and no one would dare say otherwise)
[17:26] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Now I wanna try it.. but first."
[17:28] <Alathon> Yuuno procdes to the computers, and does a whole bunch of messing around, presumably recording data.
[17:28] <Alathon> This will take a few minutes..
[17:28] <Alathon> When he's done, he's still pretty stoked.
[17:28] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Now I totally want to feel this in action.. but I suppose seeing it will be enough for today."
[17:30] * Reis blinks, and nods. "Oh... Sakura-san, how much can you tell about what's going on outside?"
[17:31] <Alathon> Yuuno: "So.. wanna head down to the range and try a few things out, Reis?"
[17:32] * Reis nods, grinning. "If it _feels_ like this, I'm so eager to see how it actually works."
[17:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well, let's head over."
[17:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: ".. if you don't midn, would you be willing to maintain the unison along thew ay?"
[17:33] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It'll be something of a spectacle, but I'd like to see if there's any sort of time limit."
[17:34] * Reis purses her lips, nodding. "I don't have any problem with that."
[17:34] <Reis> "It doesn't feel like it's taking any effort to sustain."
[17:35] * Reis blinks, cocking her head. "Yuuno-sensei... Kuonji-san sees something in here, he described it as two... 'paths'. Do you know what that might be?"
[17:36] <Reis> "Ah, he just saw a third."
[17:36] <Alatho

[Alathon]

Session 65 - part 2

[17:36] <Alathon> Yuuno nods.
[17:36] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Right, of course!"
[17:36] <Alathon> Yuuno: "If that's the analogy that best describes how these powers feel to him, let's work with it."
[17:36] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Those 'paths' he feels, would be where he can channel his magic, to reinforce yours."
[17:36] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Or to reinforce you."
[17:37] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Simply by virtue of having unisoned, your barrier jacket will be stronger."
[17:37] * Reis nods. "All right... You're getting this, right Sakura-san?"
[17:37] <Alathon> Yuuno: "But hes hould be able to do more than that.. absorb injuries you take, and power up physical and magical attacks, at the very least."
[17:38] * Reis nods. "He said he sees three paths - the third one is just out of reach at the moment though."
[17:40] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Hmm."
[17:41] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Well.. my best guess, and mind you, this is a guess.."
[17:41] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Would be that he has some other powers beyond those I've stated, that he'll need to figure out ot master."
[17:41] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Anyways.."
[17:41] * Reis stretches out. "Okay... I think we're done here, right? Should we head out to the training area?"
[17:41] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Tell him not to try anythhing until we have some space to work with."
[17:41] <Alathon> Yuu nods.
[17:42] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah.. He should be able to attack on his own, with those lightning attacks."
[17:42] * Reis nods. "He can hear us out here, but it doesn't seem you can hear him. He's getting everything but vision."
[17:42] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Damn.. how's he supposed to aim, then?"
[17:42] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Anyways, he should be able to do those.. and I'd rather he didn't reach for something else, and get those instead, in here."
[17:43] * Reis chuckles. "Yes... that would get... uncomfortable."
[17:43] <Alathon> Anyways.. do you depart for the training grond?
[17:43] * Reis snags a long coat to cover up most of the spectacle, and THEN departs.
[17:44] * Mani assumes human form again before tagging along.
[17:44] <Alathon> Thankfully, the sparks apparently aren't enough to trash the coat, or set it on fire.
[17:44] <Alathon> You'll reach your training grounds having attracted plenty of attention, but without incident.
[17:45] <Alathon> And you'll totally wreck a bunch of targets, create an awesome lightshow.. etc etc.
[17:45] <Alathon> I'll sum it up; you can see it in action in the next fight :)
[17:45] <Reis> (Heh.)
[17:45] <Alathon> It takes some work, but Kuonji manages to master both of the powers Yuuno mentioned.
[17:46] <Alathon> Yuuno helps out; it turns out he's got a 'shoot' spell similar to Sheena's, albeit of a stunning, non-lethal variety.
[17:47] <Alathon> And not only does your barrier jacket proove tougher when in Unison, but Sakura is able to take the hits for you, when he so chooses.
[17:47] <Alathon> He can also power up your attacks, even normal swings of Swordbreaker, or (if you test it) normal or crystal physical weapons.
[17:47] <Alathon> It takes a little out of him, so he can't do it an infinite number of times
[17:48] * Reis will test that out after realizing that normal swings are powered up too.
[17:48] <Alathon> Physical attacks are wreathed in lightning as you swing, and the crackle as th at lightning vents into your targets on contact is quite audible.
[17:50] <Alathon> Magical attacks shift from their usualy silvery-white hue to a more bluish-white, the slower ones having a noticeable electric corona to them.
[17:50] * Reis stares at the fairly impressive level of destruction they're wreaking.
[17:50] <Alathon> (in mechanics terms, +2 ranks of armor to the barrier jacket, unison device can choose to absorb damage when damage is applied to reis, and can add four dice to the base damage of magical and melee attacks)
[17:51] <Alathon> (at a cost of 1 ep per attack made)
[17:51] <Alathon> (er 1 ep per series of attacks, or spell)
[17:53] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Still feel good, reis?"
[17:53] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Aside from the magical strain from casting all those spells, of course."
[17:54] * Reis stops. "I'm still good, but Sakura-san's starting to feel tired, Yuuno-sensei."
[17:54] <Alathon> Yuuno frowns.
[17:54] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You should probably disjoin, then."
[17:55] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I think we've accomplished plenty for today, regardless."
[17:55] * Reis nods. "And... 'stretched' - maybe reaching the end of the time limit? We should do an endurance test with nobody exerting later, I suppose."
[17:56] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Definately."
[17:56] * Reis moves to a clear space where Kuonji can actually come out.
[17:56] <Kuonji> (he's six inches tall)
[17:57] <Reis> (This is true :P )
[17:58] <Alathon> The disjoin happens with much less in the way of fireworks.
[17:58] <Alathon> There's an arc of lightning from Reis' sternum, which forms into Kuonji.
[17:58] <Alathon> The glow and lightnings about Reis's body and hair fade, and the colors return to normal.
[18:00] * Reis breathes out, blinking slightly. "That was... quite the rush, Sakura-san."
[18:00] <Kuonji> (is sakura naked?)
[18:00] <Alathon> (fully clothed)
[18:00] <Alathon> (in the stretchy stuff)
[18:00] <Kuonji> "I
[18:00] <Kuonji> 'm pretty tired now"
[18:00] <Alathon> Yuuno nods.
[18:00] <Kuonji> "It was interesting though
[18:00] <Alathon> Yuuno: "That's to be expected.. you made substantial use of new capabilities."
[18:02] <Kuonji> "Hmmm... Think this would work with Sheena?"
[18:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It should.. and with me, for that matter."
[18:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Though.. there's a question of how well tuned you are to us."
[18:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: "From the way you've described it, you're a perfect fit for Reis."
[18:02] * Reis flushes. "Eh?"
[18:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: "We might not be.. the fact that she practices something at least similar to Velkan style magic probably works in her favor."
[18:03] <Alathon> Yuuno, faux-irritated: "Not that way."
[18:03] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You might be able to Unison with us, but find that the Unison is less efficient."
[18:03] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Either way it's definaty worth finding out... on another day."
[18:04] * Kuonji nods...
[18:04] <Alathon> Yuuno will have, by now, finished packing up the recording gear he brought.
[18:04] <Kuonji> "So, who has the hot water?"
[18:04] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Um..."
[18:04] * Reis blinks. "Uh... There should be a tap nearby, I'll get some."
[18:04] <Alathon> The water is on, but apparently the heaters haven't been installed.
[18:04] * Reis deactivates her jacket and seeks out a cup and tap.
[18:05] <Alathon> Or haven't been wired.
[18:05] * Reis sweatdrops. "... The heaters aren't ready yet. This curse is determined, Sakura-san. I'll go back to the lab for a moment."
[18:05] * Reis teleports out to get water from _there_ :P
[18:06] <Mani> "Why not just tele...port us all to the lab?"
[18:06] <Alathon> (you'll need to make several teleports each way, but you can be back in.. a few minutes, I guess, with hot water)
[18:06] <Alathon> Yuuno shrugs.
[18:06] * Mani looks at Yuuno and shrugs.
[18:06] * Reis returns soon, with water!
[18:06] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I suppose I could, but we might as well wait."
[18:06] <Alathon> Yuuno: "no particular hurry after all."
[18:08] <Alathon> Sakura will encounter no difficulty changing back with the aid of hot water.
[18:08] * Kuonji will stretch himself out a bit and get dressed
[18:08] * Reis will have brought his clothes too :P
[18:09] <Kuonji> (no need, kuonji stashed them)
[18:09] <Reis> (Righto)
[18:10] <Kuonji> (dude, I gotta go
[18:10] <Kuonji> )
[18:10] <Kuonji> (this is gay)
[18:10] <Reis> (Eh?)
[18:10] * Kuonji (~Pervert@c-71-232-118-220.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: )
[18:11] <Sheena> (something happened)
[18:11] <Mani> (Well, from his comment, I guess that something was him falling for a man.)
[18:11] <Reis> (Yeah... apparently)
[18:15] <Alathon> (that seems unlikely, but I suppose we'll find out)
[18:15] <Alathon> Anyways..
[18:15] <Alathon> everyone will get a comm message from Usagi.
[18:15] <Alathon> Asking them to dial in for a conference call a bit later this evening.
[18:16] <Alathon> well, not dial literally.. but you know what I mean ;p
[18:16] * Reis will blink and nod. "I suppose this will be our briefing for the next mission."
[18:17] * Sheena calls in from her current location
[18:17] <Sheena> (Wonder if its visual?)
[18:18] * Reis will dial in when the time comes.
[18:18] <Alathon> It is, it's a videoconference, using the holovid capabilities of your comm units
[18:18] <Alathon> (heh, so what's Sheena look like?)
[18:18] <Sheena> (after that day? G i wonder)
[18:18] <Reis> (I have a sudden chill down my spine)
[18:19] <Reis> (Though it IS winter in Canada, that could just be it)
[18:19] * Sheena has sound only going for now
[18:20] <Alathon> Usagi: "Sheena, is your comm unit busted?"
[18:20] <Alathon> Usagi: "I think I've got this thing set for video - all."

[18:30] <Alathon> Alright
[18:30] <Reis> I just got that, I was sitting around and wondering what was going to start.
[18:31] <Alathon> Usagi: "Sheena, is your comm unit busted?"
[18:31] <Alathon> Usagi: "I think I've got this thing set for video - all."
[18:31] <Sheena> "Ug, one moment boss!"
[18:31] <Alathon> Usagi: "Uh.. alright."
[18:31] * Sheena cloths russle, trip fall, door shut.
[18:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "This won't be long regardless, I suppose it doesn't matter."
[18:32] * Reis sweatdrops and flushes.
[18:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "I just wanted to give you all a heads-up."
[18:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "You'll have tomorrow and the day after, but after that, we're going to be going after the UST hard and fast."
[18:32] * Sheena Turn her video back on, She's in a black and white living room, in ill fitting mussed up grey clothes.
[18:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "We'll officially be at war, and... I didn't know these things had black and white.. no, wait."
[18:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "Er, never mind."
[18:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "ANYways."
[18:32] <Reis> "..."
[18:33] <Alathon> Usagi: "We're officially going to be at war with the UST, until such time as all UST leaders which sanction the use of life-draining churches and hte like are dead or incarcerated."
[18:34] <Mani> "What, exactly, will being at war mean?"
[18:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "And a few other things.. restitution to Nevada and the UST, and hte like."
[18:34] * Reis nods.
[18:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "There will be substantial shifts in workforce and production allocation, hikes in compensation for all security related positions, a call-up of retired Marines."
[18:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "And a lot more stuff that mostly won't affect us in the short run."
[18:36] <Reis> (Did she just say we're making more money? :P )
[18:36] <Sheena> (bling bling yo)
[18:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "For your team specifically, you and several Espionage and Marine meta squads will be accompanying the Senshi in attacks on the leadership and warmaking infrastructure of the UST, and to a lesser degree the Confederacy."
[18:36] * Reis nods. "Strike and assassination missions like what we did to Addington?"
[18:37] <Alathon> Usagi shakes her head.
[18:37] <Sheena> "Or blowing the crap out of eveyr thing"
[18:37] <Sheena> "?"
[18:37] <Alathon> Usagi: "Assassination is too.. yes."
[18:37] <Alathon> Usagi, quickly: "Within reason!"
[18:37] * Sheena eyes glow a bit at that tho she gets pouty at being yelled at
[18:37] <Alathon> Usagi: "But yes, we'll be pursuing a policy intended to rapidly behead the UST and Confederacy, without necessitating a large scale slaughter of hteir people."
[18:40] <Alathon> Usagi: "Your team will be paired with one of Mercury, Venus, Mars, or Jupiter... probably not the latter, I expect she'll want to accompany one of her own teams."
[18:40] <Sheena> (no one going to bring up sheena trying to fit into celesta clothes?)
[18:40] <Alathon> (oh, they'll bring it up.. right after the screen goes blank)
[18:40] <Sheena> (hah)
[18:41] <Alathon> (with the size disparity you've got going on, you're probably showing nipple ;p
[18:41] <Reis> (I don't quite get that, and I'm not sure whether or not I want to)
[18:41] <Mani> (We're going to war and you want people to comment on what you're wearing? :p )
[18:41] <Sheena> "How about you boss?"
[18:41] <Alathon> Usagi shakes her head slightly.
[18:41] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll be warming a chair here in Crystal Tokyo."
[18:42] <Alathon> Usagi: "Myself, Mom and Dad, and the outers will be here to respond in the case of a large scale response."
[18:42] * Reis nods. "Like another angel swarm chasing us back across the ocean?"
[18:42] * Mani nods.
[18:42] <Alathon> Usagi: "Anyways.. I figured you'd all want to know before Mom and Dad hit the waves with the announcement."
[18:42] <Mani> "Thanks."
[18:43] <Alathon> Usagi: "No problem."
[18:43] <Alathon> Usagi: "...and fuck's sake, Sheena, you'd look more dignified naked."
[18:43] <Alathon> Usagi grins, then cuts the feed.
[18:43] <Mani> "And, of course, we shouldn't say anything before the official announcement."
[18:43] * Reis sweatdrops at that.
[18:43] * Mani says that even though Usagi's gone.
[18:44] * Sheena looks over to her side and does a blink blink
[18:44] <Alathon> She was apparently not interested in taking questions, seeing as she quit abruptly.
[18:44] <Sheena> "Well sine the princess said so."
[18:44] * Sheena takes off the ill fitting top and says goodbye on the line
[18:44] <Alathon> In a few moments, your comms will beep.. you've got a briefing day after tomorrow on the specifics of your assignments, and the overarching strategy and reasoning for the war."
[18:44] <Alathon> Kuonji rolls his eyes, but doesn't avert his gaze.
[18:45] * Reis would've averted her gaze, but apparently Sheena closes down the line before she really needs to.
[18:45] <Alathon> (that's not how I read her description ;p )
[18:46] <Alathon> anyways..
[18:46] <Alathon> (anything else on the videoconference?)
[18:46] <Reis> (Nope, don't think so.)
[18:46] <Mani> (I suppose not.)
[18:47] <Alathon> the,
[18:47] <Alathon> End here
[18:47] <Sheena> (no crack from mani about useing protection?)
[18:47] <Reis> Roger-oh.
[18:47] * Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf
[18:47] * AlaBot (~nlennig@c-67-170-72-202.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: )
[18:47] <Mani> No, we didn't have time to put any on. Next time, Sheena should give advance warning.
[18:47] <Sheena> lol
[18:48] * Sheena is now known as DCG
[18:48] * Mani is now known as Yarrow
[18:48] <DCG> i wonder if celeste is starting up a goth trend in CT
[18:50] <Alathon> I think it's likely goth has been in and out over the centuries
[18:51] <Pale_Wolf> ... Did the actual goths dress in goth style? That's what I wonder.
[18:52] <DCG> Good goth stile, the kind that catchs your eye and makes ya think, hey she's hot. Not the emofreak over makeup kids.
[18:52] <DCG> Heh.. got yuuno calling rocko's guy emoduck.
[18:52] <Pale_Wolf> Only because he didn't bother telling his real name :P
[18:53] <Pale_Wolf> Or, I didn't catch him bothering :P
[18:57] <Yarrow> *bing* "Emoduck, the self-pitying pokemon."
[18:58] * Kuonji (~Pervert@c-71-232-118-220.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[18:58] <Pale_Wolf> (Yo.)
[18:58] * Kuonji is now known as Ataru
[18:58] <Ataru> so what'd I miss?
[18:59] <Ataru> sorry bout that
[18:59] <DCG> is it scary that my mind just played that line in the correct voice?
[18:59] <Yarrow> No problem. Did you have fun?
[18:59] <Ataru> it was fucking lame as hell
[18:59] <Pale_Wolf> What'd _we_ miss? You all right over there?
[18:59] <Ataru> yeah
[18:59] <DCG> you ok ataru?
[18:59] <Ataru> I'm fine
[18:59] <Ataru> it was nothing big
[18:59] <Yarrow> Lame fucking, nothing big... It sounds like I was right.
[19:00] <Ataru> my roommate's comp is broken, and he just broke his phone too
[19:00] <Ataru> so when he and his friend are here
[19:00] <Ataru> I'm like the go to guy for phone and internet
[19:00] <Ataru> it sucks
[19:01] <Ataru> "Hey can I borrow your computer? Let me see your phone. blah, blah blah"
[19:01] <Ataru> I was getting sick of them repeatedly asking, so I gave in to shut them up
[19:01] <Ataru> it sucks
[19:02] <Ataru> especially when I get phonecalls from people I don't know looking for my friend
[19:02] <Alathon> anyways
[19:03] <Pale_Wolf> All righty, log PMed.
[19:03] <Alathon> you missed a netsplit, and a video conference
[19:03] <Pale_Wolf> (Yeah, I sent him the log)
[19:05] <Alathon> hmm
[19:06] <Alathon> 3700 exp for the session

[Alathon]

Session 66

[12:02] <Alathon> anyways
[12:02] <Alathon> I do believe we're all here
[12:02] * Yarrow nods.
[12:02] <Alathon> so let's get started
[12:03] <Pale_Wolf> Yuppers.
[12:03] * Pale_Wolf is now known as Reis
[12:03] * DCG is now known as Sheena
[12:03] * Ataru is now known as Kuonji
[12:03] <Alathon> last session, you all tied up loose ends in Chicago and returned home.
[12:03] <Yarrow> Ah, well. My Aztecs will finish off the Americans later.
[12:04] * Yarrow is now known as Mani
[12:04] <Alathon> substantial testing of Sakura's unison device cursed form was done, and a good bit learned about it
[12:05] <Alathon> And the team got a heads-up concerning the upcoming state of war via video conference.
[12:06] <Alathon> We left off right as that conference ended, with Sheena flashing the team after Usagi bagged on her obviously post-romp clothing choice
[12:07] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+10
[12:07] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{30}
[12:07] <Sheena> (oh shit, crit flash(
[12:07] <Reis> (/me blinks.)
[12:07] <Alathon> (what's this, your success in removing your shirt before usagi gets off the line?)
[12:07] <Sheena> (sheena has +10 preform :P)
[12:08] <Sheena> (well i was fooling around with the preform, stuff but thats a funny crit)
[12:08] <Reis> (... Indeed)
[12:08] <Kuonji> (... figures you'd get a crit for that... the dice hate us.)
[12:08] <Alathon> Sheena hardly has to tug on the grey cloth before something behind her back gives away and it falls right off in her hands.
[12:09] <Mani> "Good night, Sheena."
[12:09] * Reis blinks and simply averts her gaze, red-faced.
[12:09] <Mani> "Does anyone have anything else to add, or is this conference over?"
[12:10] * Reis shakes her head. "Um, no, Mani."
[12:10] <Kuonji> "..."
[12:10] <Kuonji> "huh? Oh, no taichou."
[12:10] <Mani> "In that case, I'll see you all later."
[12:11] * Mani disconnects. (Quit)
[12:12] * Sheena covers her mouth and yawns a bit
[12:12] * Reis nods. "Um... Vanyel has a bunch of cartridges finished that need charging, Sheena-san, whenever you have time."
[12:12] <Reis> "Later."
[12:12] <Sheena> "Thats good, ill be in early tommaro and get started"
[12:12] * Reis closes the connection.
[12:12] * Sheena waves and cuts the conn
[12:13] * Kuonji closes his com
[12:13] <Kuonji> "..."
[12:13] <Sheena> (its not often you crit flash the princess as she's logging off)
[12:13] <Kuonji> "You'd think I'd be used to it by now." *Kuonji says to himself
[12:13] <Alathon> Alright.
[12:14] <Alathon> With the teleconference over, the day will continue as it was for several hours.
[12:14] <Mani> (Awww. I really wanted to see a Ping timeout from Reis.)
[12:15] <Alathon> Anyone watching the holovid news this evening, or checking the net, will find that there's a press conference tomorrow announced by the Crown
[12:16] <Alathon> Naturally there'll be a lot of talking head speculation
[12:16] <Kuonji> (oh? what are they speculating?)
[12:16] <Alathon> the assumption is that it has something to do with establishing closer relations with either the AFS or Nevada
[12:17] <Reis> (In a roundabout sense, perhaps...)
[12:17] <Mani> (Except Kitsune News, which is predicting that Tsukasa has returned.)
[12:17] <Sheena> (We ever get to beat up the talking heads? they freak me out)
[12:17] <Kuonji> (lol yarrow)
[12:18] <Kuonji> (oh come on, a couple of their songs are ok...)
[12:20] <Alathon> Anyways, do people give a damn about the press conference tomorrow?
[12:20] <Alathon> You already know more or less what's gonna be said
[12:20] <Alathon> or is this a 'lets get together and watch and comment' thing?
[12:20] * Mani will watch it if not required elsewhere.
[12:21] * Sheena sheena would paus in her work to check it out,
[12:21] <Reis> (We'll watch it)
[12:21] <Sheena> (would be interesting to see how the queen says "lets go to war")
[12:21] * Reis would find a moment to watch it as well.
[12:21] <Mani> If Sakura & Sheena are planning to watch too, she'll invite Reis to come over and join them.
[12:21] <Kuonji> (of course)
[12:21] * Reis would, then, come over.
[12:22] <Alathon> You're not requied to be anywhere until tomorrow
[12:22] <Alathon> er
[12:22] <Alathon> day after tomorrow
[12:22] <Kuonji> (bad movie, we're not watching it)
[12:23] <Alathon> Alright
[12:24] * Mani decides snacks are in order and asks one of the skilled cooks in the household if they could make some.
[12:24] <Alathon> You've all seen press conferences before, so I won't go into detail about what hte setup is
[12:25] <Kuonji> (I guess Kuonji will make the snacks)
[12:26] <Alathon> you can take a ten if you want, or roll for it ;p
[12:27] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+12
[12:27] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{15}
[12:27] <Kuonji> (ouch)
[12:27] * Kuonji whistles as he cooks
[12:27] <Sheena> (and sheena onlyhas 6 cooksing)
[12:28] <Mani> (Well, 15 is still good.)
[12:28] <Kuonji> (... wtf is my roommate watching...)
[12:29] <Alathon> anyways, the snacks are pretty good
[12:29] <Alathon> the salsa is a little bland though
[12:29] * Reis thanks Kuonji.
[12:29] <Alathon> eventually, Queen Serenity and King Endymion make their way to the microphones -- they're giving the conference together.
[12:30] * Mani thanks the cook, too.
[12:30] <Alathon> Serenity: "I thank you all for your attendance here today, and will procede directly to the matter at hand."
[12:30] <Kuonji> "You're welcome... Salsa came out a little bland though."
[12:31] <Mani> "That's fine. Mine comes out of a jar."
[12:31] * Sheena thanks the cook by eating the goods
[12:31] <Sheena> "Ya know, there's something i still don't get"
[12:31] * Sheena says while watching the screen
[12:32] <Alathon> Serenity: "With a sorrowful heart, I must announce that as of twelve A.M. tomorrow morning, Crystal Tokyo will officially be in a state of war against the United States of Texas and their Confederate allies."
[12:32] <Alathon> cue the reporters quieting, and a few gasps. the press room is dead silent now, and she continues.
[12:32] <Kuonji> "Bet they didn't see that coming."
[12:33] <Alathon> Serenity: "We now acknowledge officially what has been increasingly obvious: that the Texans represent a clear and present danger to the security of this state."
[12:33] * Reis nods. "Well... nobody was thinking it last night, if the news was any indication."
[12:33] <Mani> "Especially since they haven't seen what we have."
[12:34] <Alathon> Serenity: "This has been borne out repeatedly, most notably in the Texan backed attack on Our embassy in Carson City, in another such attempted assault on Our embassy in Chicago.."
[12:35] <Alathon> Serenity: "In over two decades of unremitting hostility and bloodshed on their own continent, during which they conquered one neighbor, invaded another, and launched brutal terror strikes against a third."
[12:36] <Mani> (Sentence fragment. She needs a new speech writer.)
[12:36] <Alathon> Serenity: "Further, we have verified that the leadership of the United States of Texas practices demonic energy siphoning on a grand level; all of their citizens are subject to it, so as to fuel the powers of their elite."
[12:37] * Sheena looks over at sakura
[12:37] <Alathon> Briefly after Serenity finishes, Endymion continues.
[12:37] <Sheena> "Seems that info we dug up was usefull"
[12:37] <Kuonji> (oh fuck me)
[12:37] <Alathon> Endymion: "We face a terrible threat.. but unlike the events of nigh thirty years past, we have the option to take the initiative.. and we will!"
[12:38] <Reis> (Uhh... Okay?)
[12:38] <Sheena> (?)
[12:38] <Kuonji> (forgot a couple things since I just woke up)
[12:38] <Sheena> (cat on fire?)
[12:38] <Mani> (You're taking him up on that offer, Reis?)
[12:38] <Reis> (Heh, probably not)
[12:38] <Kuonji> (1: I don't have to leave early because I weasled my way out of dinner and 2. I need to go to my landlords and sign some papers like, right now)
[12:39] <Kuonji> (it's just across the street though, so it should be pretty quick)
[12:39] <Mani> (Good time to go, I think.)
[12:39] <Alathon> Endymion: "In the interest of ensuring the safety and security of Crystal Tokyo, we will act decisively to prevent this conflict from reaching our shores."
[12:39] <Alathon> (nod, you can read scrollback)
[12:39] <Alathon> (how long you gonna be gone?)
[12:40] <Alathon> Endymion: "We will NOT allow our beautiful city to be turned into a battlefield again!"
[12:41] <Kuonji> (dunno, shouldn't be long, need to get dressed run across, sign shit, run back)
[12:41] <Alathon> (well, do it now)
[12:41] <Alathon> (you'll actually be doing shit later)
[12:42] <Alathon> Endymion: "But we cannot do this without your aid."
[12:42] <Alathon> Endymion: "All of you will be called upon to do your part."
[12:43] <Alathon> Endymion: "For most, this will not mean military service."
[12:43] <Kuonji> (heh, is CT going to be like WWII USA?)
[12:44] <Alathon> Endymion: "But rather embracing a shift in our Crystal Tokyo's economy to a war-time footing."
[12:45] <Mani> (It's a good thing Texas became such a threat when they did--we were just about ready to invent an external enemy.)
[12:45] <Alathon> Endymion: "But for those who wish to defend our city more directly, we will gladly accept your aid."
[12:46] <Alathon> Serenity continues briefly after Endymion leaves off.
[12:47] <Sheena> "Wonder if there going to mention the metaforces at all"
[12:47] <Alathon> Serenity: "We must endure these troubling times as best we can, and preserve through them that which we hold dear. That is our goal in this declaration of war: that we face head-on the tribulations which we would endure one way or another, and master them."
[12:48] <Alathon> She finishes on that note.. there are, naturally, a whole shitload of questions.
[12:49] <Alathon> Reporter #1: "Under what conditions would you consider this war won?"
[12:50] <Alathon> Endymion and Serenity half-look at each other, then Serenity answers.
[12:51] <Alathon> Serenity: "There are three conditions which must be met to end this threat. First, the vast majority of UST leaders above the local level must be killed."
[12:51] <Alathon> Serenity: "Second, their network of energy-sapping devices must be dismantled in its entirety."
[12:52] <Alathon> Serenity: "Third, mercenary forces under their command, which have been utilized repeatedly for deep strikes against us, must be dispersed or destroyed."
[12:53] <Alathon> Reporter #2: "Will the Senshi be taking the field against --"
[12:53] <Alathon> Serenity: "Yes."
[12:53] <Alathon> Endymion: "Yes."
[12:53] <Alathon> They both smile a little and look at each other.
[12:54] <Sheena> "Woah, Didn't think the queen would come right out and say we're going to kill them all'
[12:55] <Alathon> Asian Correspondant Trisha Takanawa: "What will this mean for those in the Marine Reserve, who have trained and served, but now pursue other carreers?"
[12:55] <Mani> "We learned our lesson from Wiseman."
[12:55] * Sheena just nods to that
[12:58] <Alathon> Endymion: "We will be calling up the reserves. However, it is our intent that the majority of reservists function in support of the current, active Marines."
[12:58] <Alathon> Endymion: "We cannot make any promises in this respect, but we intend that they largely assume the 'home guard' duties the Marines usually fill."
[12:59] <Alathon> There are three more questions about economics, jobs, credit rates, and the like.. and after three brief answers, Serenity calls the conference to a close.
[12:59] <Alathon> Serenity: "More in-depth information on these topics will be published to government sites within the hour."
[12:59] <Kuonji> (well ttaht was gay)
[13:00] <Alathon> (wasn't there?)
[13:00] <Kuonji> (office must be closed on the weekends, I'll need to try monday)
[13:00] <Reis> (Bah, that blows.)
[13:00] <Kuonji> (lol, asian correspondant trisha takanawa)
[13:01] <Alathon> Serenity: "Throughout the course of this war, conflict allowing, we will have regular conferences with longer Q&A segments."
[13:01] <Alathon> Serenity: "The first of these will be three days from now."
[13:01] <Alathon> Serenity: "Thank you all for coming here today."
[13:01] <Alathon> They leave.. and the talking heads go to work.
[13:02] <Kuonji> "Hmmm. Think they'll change the child bearing laws? We don't exactly have a large population, and our birthrates are pretty damn low."
[13:02] <Alathon> (if it isn't obvious, reporters actually learned from the Old World failures who claimed they were reporters, and actually ask pointed questions when people say they're going to war now)
[13:03] <Reis> (Whoooo!)
[13:03] <Mani> "It's certainly a possibility."
[13:03] <Sheena> "Why sakura? want a kid so soon"
[13:05] <Kuonji> "No, not really, but it's not exactly a new topic."
[13:06] <Sheena> "Hell, he probly have the cridet for something like that all ready. I've never bothered to check'
[13:07] <Mani> "You're lucky you only have to save up enough for one at a time."
[13:08] <Kuonji> "Oh? There's no bulk discount for moonkittens?"
[13:09] <Mani> "I'm afraid not. They probably figured that giving a discount to people wo have the most children would probably be counterproductive. So to speak."
[13:09] <Sheena> "hmm, fore to six kida in one go? I can see why you chose field work. Gettting shit in the face by magical fire is much less painfull"
[13:10] * Mani smirks.
[13:10] <Sheena> *shoot
[13:10] <Reis> (Uh... shot, right?)
[13:10] <Mani> "Oh, it's not anywhere near as painful for cats as it is for humans."
[13:11] <Kuonji> (getting shit in the face? are we going to be deployed in germany?)
[13:11] * Reis sweatdrops. "Well... that's certainly to the good."
[13:14] * Mani nods.
[13:15] <Mani> "So. I suppose we'll all probably be spending time with loved ones tonight?"
[13:15] * Reis nods. "Yeah..."
[13:15] <Kuonji> ("You have loved ones?")
[13:15] * Kuonji nods
[13:16] <Sheena> "A good idea, i wanted to go shopping with celeste any way. She finds the most intereting places in town'
[13:17] * Sheena makes a mental note about reis
[13:17] <Reis> (Probably for the best that Reis is not a telepath)
[13:17] <Mani> (Especially considering what happened to your last telepath...)
[13:18] <Reis> (Well, that's not even an issue at this point, me, I'm just scared of that mental note)
[13:18] <Mani> "Well, unless there's something people want to talk about, I'm going to call mine and make arrangements."
[13:19] <Sheena> (consdering what sheena's girlfriend is you should be more worried about what she's learned to do to telepaths)
[13:20] * Mani leaves the scene if no one stops her.
[13:20] <Sheena> "Ok, just call me if any thing comes up. Ill stop by the labs and get some work done on our ammo. Then probly hang out with celeste"
[13:20] * Sheena gets up and brushs herself off, damn chips
[13:21] * Reis nods. "Right, Sheena-san... See you later, everyone." Reis stands and heads off.
[13:21] * Kuonji will clean up the dishes (you lazy bastards) and then call his family
[13:22] <Sheena> (isnt it the konuchi's job to clean up?)
[13:23] <Kuonji> (sakura isn't a kunoichi)
[13:24] <Sheena> (have you check the job app filed? On the system in the building we're sheena has lab level clerance? ^^ )
[13:25] <Alathon> Anyways
[13:25] <Alathon> You all have more or less two days of time to do with as you see fit before you've got a briefing scheduled
[13:25] <Sheena> (what the general reaction from the population we would see?)
[13:26] <Kuonji> (... if sakura finds out you fucked with his file like that, you'd better expect retribution)
[13:27] <Alathon> People are nervous, even a little afraid
[13:27] <Alathon> those under 30 not so much
[13:27] <Alathon> but everyone older is on edge.
[13:28] <Alathon> Younger people are stoked that CT is gonna take the initiative to prevent "all that bad stuff" that happened before they were born
[13:28] <Alathon> Everyone who's older is mainly remembering "all that bad stuff"
[13:30] <Mani> (Whereas the mooncats are eagerly anticipating all the additional paperwork that will be created.)
[13:31] <Alathon> ("Death certificates for everyone!")
[13:31] <Alathon> anyways.. how do you all spend htose two days?
[13:31] <Sheena> ("What do you mean i need to file it in tripcite!")
[13:31] <Alathon> and do you do anything as a group during that time that we need to play out?
[13:32] <Reis> (Reis will be spending time with her family, and a massive whack of time in the lab working on various things)
[13:33] * Sheena would spend time with celeste, and "try' to go shoping with her for some good clothes. Other then that it's time at the lab making the shells
[13:33] <Kuonji> (kuonji will spend time with family, helping at the restraunt and generally just being with them... probably don't need to play it out unless there's something you want to adress with sakura)
[13:33] <Alathon> *nod*
[13:33] <Kuonji> (and... Reis has a family?)
[13:33] * Mani spends some time with her family & clan and work on crystal crafting skills.
[13:33] <Reis> (Yeah, Reis isn't an orphan or anything)
[13:35] <Kuonji> (wow... I thought she was... I think this is the first time I've seen them mentioned)
[13:36] <Reis> (Heh.)
[13:37] <Reis> roll 1d20+23
[13:37] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{41}
[13:39] * RZ_[WoW] (~Zero@124-169-127-78.dyn.iinet.net.au) Quit (Ping timeout)
[13:39] <Mani> (You succeed on your disconnect Zero attempt.)
[13:39] <Reis> (Nyahahahah, fear my POWER!)
[13:39] <Kuonji> (heh)
[13:40] <Reis> (I wonder if I can use that skill on enemy bosses)
[13:40] <Alathon> anyways, if anyone inquires.. Yuuno now has a propper device
[13:40] <Mani> (Sure. If you want to disconnect the DM...)
[13:40] * Rockman_Zero (~Zero@124-169-106-185.dyn.iinet.net.au) has joined #crystaltokyo
[13:40] <Alathon> not an uber one like some people, but she'll be able to pitch in a little more in combat
[13:41] <Kuonji> (hmmm Sheena should build a doctor device...)
[13:42] <Reis> (A doctor device? That frightens me and I don't know why)
[13:42] <Kuonji> (it should)
[13:42] <Sheena> "Well lets see it yuunochan"
[13:43] <Rockman_Zero> (a sonic screwdriver DCG? :P)
[13:43] <Alathon> Yuuno will first hold up what looks like a playing card.. except instead of suits and numbers, it's just got a glittery blue border with an X through the middle on each side
[13:43] * Rockman_Zero is now known as RZ_[WoW]
[13:44] <Alathon> She flips it in her hands, and it turns into a longish staff, a bit over four feet.
[13:44] <Alathon> It's made out of an indeterminate dark grey material, with what looks like a winged blue lantern on the top.
[13:44] * Sheena does a blink blink
[13:44] * Reis grins. "How does it handle, Yuuno-sensei?"
[13:45] <Sheena> "Smooth mater transfer, and extra points for stile"
[13:46] <Alathon> Yuuno looks pleased.
[13:46] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Pretty well.. especially for your having to come up with a lot of it on your own, and neither of us having the original schematics."
[13:46] <Alathon> Yuuno: "This is a bit like one of the devices Chrono used to use, back in the day.. nothing special, just amplifies magic, but it'll work well enough for what I need it for."
[13:47] * Reis smiles and bows. "Thank you, glad you like it."
[13:47] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+8 ohmy
[13:47] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+8 ohmy --> [ 1d20=18 ]{26}
[13:48] <Reis> (You... make a roll to say 'Oh my'?)
[13:48] <Kuonji> (... if you got another good roll for doing something dumb, I'm going to stab you)
[13:48] <Alathon> (she impersonated Kasumi perfectly)
[13:49] <Reis> (Yay!)
[13:49] <Alathon> anyways
[13:50] <Mani> (So well that she's stuck in that character for the rest of this session.)
[13:50] <Kuonji> (...)
[13:50] <Alathon> anything else anyone wants to hit before your briefing?
[13:50] <Kuonji> (try unisoning with sheena?
[13:50] <Kuonji> )
[13:50] <Mani> (Nothing much on my part, I guess.)
[13:50] <Alathon> Is sheena up for it?
[13:50] <Alathon> Yuuno seems to have forgotten; presumably he's been busy getting a device built.
[13:51] * Reis will suggest Kuonji not exerting himself too much beyond 'try it out' parameters, so they can see how long he can keep it up passively.
[13:51] <Sheena> (sheena's would be game)
[13:52] <Sheena> "As long as it don't ruin the new dress, or should i go fuku for it?"
[13:52] <Kuonji> "I think Yuuno said you'd need a barrier jacket up."
[13:53] <Sheena> "Ok, so do we record this or something?"
[13:54] * Kuonji shrugs "Up to you I guess, there's not much I could do with the footage."
[13:54] <Reis> "You'll need to have a barrier jacket up, some kind of magic for Sakura-san to latch onto."
[13:54] <Mani> (So far as I know, I wouldn't be there, so I'm not saying anything.)
[13:54] * Sheena hmms for a bit
[13:55] <Sheena> "Are you sure this will be safe? My magic isn't excatly made up of sunshine and kittens you know"
[13:55] * Sheena lets a bit of dark power float around her hand
[13:55] <Kuonji> "... I'm a God damn ninja."
[13:55] * Sheena titles her head some
[13:55] <Sheena> "oh, ya duh'
[13:56] <Kuonji> (anyone else here, or is it just me and sheena?)
[13:56] <Reis> (Reis too, it's our lab I presume :P )
[13:56] <Alathon> if it's in the lab, vanyel will be there, dutifully cranking out crystal cartridges
[13:56] * Reis nods and starts up the recorders.
[13:57] * Kuonji strips to his elastic skivvies and stows his stuff in hairspace
[13:57] <Sheena> "Ok then, should we head to the long range target corse then? My power has interesting effects on the user, when a 'god damn ninja" gets there hands on it we should have room"
[13:57] <Kuonji> "That's assuming we can even unison in the first place."
[13:58] <Reis> "We should try to gather as much data as we can from the unison itself, then we can head over."
[13:59] <Sheena> "Ok then"
[14:00] * Sheena sergers with a dark glow and shifts to her fuku, Dark heart in hand she sets the staff to the side, just incase
[14:00] <Sheena> "So how do we go about this?"
[14:00] <Kuonji> "So, who's got the water?"
[14:00] * Sheena says floating a bit off the ground
[14:01] <Kuonji> "Ask Reis, I can only tell you what it was like on my end."
[14:01] <Alathon> You can get hot water from a tap in the lab ;p
[14:01] * Reis goes and gets water, while explaining to Sheena. "You'll feel a tug on your magic - you need to be relaxed, don't resist it, and let Sakura-san do his thing."
[14:02] <Kuonji> (we need cold water)
[14:02] <Reis> (Doh. Reis gets both types :P )
[14:02] * Sheena nods
[14:03] <Sheena> "I can bring up my mana easy enought
[14:03] <Kuonji> "That sounded so... Dirty."
[14:03] <Reis> (And pours it on Kuonji when he's ready, no need to narrate THAT many details)
[14:03] <Kuonji> (yeah, pour away)
[14:03] * Reis blinks, and reddens. "Um..."
[14:03] <Reis> (Whee Sakura's changed!)
[14:03] * Kuonji snickers before getting drenched
[14:03] * Reis steps back to man the instruments.
[14:03] <Kuonji> "You... didn't have to pour THAT much."
[14:04] <Reis> "Sorry, I got distracted..."
[14:04] * Kuonji will float over to sheena and put a tiny hand on her shoulder
[14:05] * Sheena pulls up her magic, a dim dark glow around her
[14:06] * Reis preps the recorders, and sits back to watch the show.
[14:06] * Kuonji will start trying to recreate what he did with Reis
[14:08] <Kuonji> "Hmm, I feel like I'm getting some resistance."
[14:08] * Kuonji will keep trying
[14:08] <Mani> (It's Celeste's taint!)
[14:08] <Alathon> It'll take a couple more tries, but you'll succeed soon enough
[14:09] <Sheena> "That would be dark heart, let me try and... "
[14:09] * Reis purses her lips. "The compatibility thing Yuuno-sensei was talking about?"
[14:09] <Alathon> Kuonji vanishes.
[14:10] <Alathon> Sheena's powerup is.. different.
[14:11] <Alathon> Her outfit, being gold, pink, magenta, and black, is a good bit different when powered up than Reis's was.
[14:11] <Sheena> (can we take a break in a bit? there's something i need to handle... tho im not moving thill i see how this unison looks)
[14:11] <Alathon> Her hair darkens from bright red to magenta
[14:11] <Alathon> (and yeah, we can take a food break)
[14:12] <Alathon> as do her eyes
[14:12] <Alathon> the blacks in her uniform stay black, albeit with a faint bluish aurora around them.
[14:12] <Alathon> the gold parts shift to a blueish silver, with the sparks most noticeably dancing over these
[14:12] <Sheena> ( http://www.brandflakesforbreakfast.com/ ... 702548.jpg )
[14:13] <Reis> (She's got the whee-crackling-lightning thing too?)
[14:13] <Alathon> the pink parks lighten to a blueish white, and yes, she's got hte lightning thing going on.. but it seems to hover mostly over the bluish-silver parts, like the wings and kneecaps
[14:14] * Reis nods, whistling slightly. "How do the both of you feel?"
[14:14] <Sheena> "Woah,"
[14:14] <Alathon> the purple leg and arm segments darken almost entirely to a deep blue
[14:15] <Reis> "Ah, you'll have to pass anything from Sakura-san on to me, I can't hear him out here."
[14:15] <Sheena> (ill have to brb >_< )
[14:15] <Alathon> the end result is an outfit that is mostly blue and blueish-white, with silvery accents
[14:15] <Alathon> (how long?)
[14:15] <Sheena> (10 ish? ill rush)
[14:15] <Alathon> (okay, 15 minute food break)
[14:15] <Alathon> (we start up at half past)
[14:15] <Reis> (Roger)
[14:22] <Reis> (All righty, back)
[14:29] <Kuonji> (back)
[14:35] <Sheena> here
[14:35] <Sheena> (damn anbasol is a godsend when your teeth hurt0
[14:35] <Reis> (Gah, had to head out and buy it?)
[14:35] <Sheena> ya
[14:36] <Kuonji> (... heh...)
[14:36] <Kuonji> (what about oil of clove?)
[14:36] <Sheena> (half my face is num now, and man thats great)
[14:36] <Kuonji> (http://youtube.com/watch?v=dG5Qk-jB0D4)
[14:37] <Reis> (Heh. Yeah, the numbing stuff is great for 'You WILL work!', though I prefer advil to retain sensation if it'll work right :P )
[14:37] <Alathon> sigh
[14:38] <Reis> (Delayed?)
[14:38] <Alathon> hopefully I'm the last to return?
[14:38] <Alathon> yeah
[14:38] <Reis> (Dunno whether Yarrow's in, but the rest of us are)
[14:39] <Sheena> ya im feeling a lot better now
[14:39] <Sheena> Sorry about that
[14:39] <Reis> (Don't worry, if you're a mess, get medicine :P )
[14:40] <Mani> (I'm around.)
[14:41] <Alathon> alright
[14:41] <Alathon> anyways
[14:41] * Reis nods, whistling slightly. "How do the both of you feel?"
[14:41] <Reis> "Ah, you'll have to pass anything from Sakura-san on to me, I can't hear him out here."
[14:41] <Alathon> picking up where we left off, Sheena and Sakura are figuring out the whole unison thing.
[14:42] * Sheena strechs a bit and looks herself over, running a hand throught her changed hair
[14:44] <Alathon> its a bit gaudy, really ;p
[14:44] <Alathon> and the hair is only an average match to the outfit at best
[14:45] <Alathon> but it's certainly different
[14:45] <Sheena> "Body's the same, odd colors, can feel sakura in my magic now, thats kinda cool.."
[14:46] <Kuonji> "It's not so bad in here. Not quite as comforting as Reis, and a little warmer, but that's about it."
[14:47] <Reis> (Well, I can't hear that, so feel free to tell me Sheena ;) )
[14:47] * Reis nods and works on a more detailed scan of the unison form, just gathering data for now.
[14:47] <Sheena> "Says its not so bad, but your was more comforting"
[14:47] <Sheena> "Seem's i run a bit warmer or how ever that feels to her"
[14:48] * Reis blinks and reddens. "Ah... maybe it's the compatibility thing Yuuno-sensei mentioned."
[14:48] * Sheena nods
[14:48] <Sheena> "Should i ask for clerance to use the test range?"
[14:49] <Kuonji> "Her?"
[14:50] <Kuonji> "You getting your pronouns mixed up or something?"
[14:50] * Reis finishes up. "We should be able to find something we can use to test on without too much trouble - I can teleport us out to there so we don't draw attention in the streets... Ah, yes." Reis finds a timer and starts it up to measure how long it goes.
[14:51] <Sheena> (isnt the tiny fiary form female?)
[14:51] <Reis> (Uh... nope, it's a male fairy)
[14:52] <Sheena> (ahh, oops?_
[14:52] <Reis> (Fairies are by definition male, in one sense :P )
[14:52] <Alathon> Anyways
[14:52] <Alathon> you'll find that the unison with sheena isn't as efficient
[14:53] <Sheena> "We should call the boss and ask, since that war declration this morning. Ripping lose might caus problems"
[14:53] * Reis shrugs and calls her up to get permission, then.
[14:53] <Alathon> You'll get it
[14:53] <Alathon> the training facility you set up is pretty far out
[14:53] <Alathon> so it'll cause a minimal disturbance
[14:53] <Reis> (Heh, roger)
[14:55] <Kuonji> "Hehehhehe... Let's blow some shit up!"
[14:56] <Alathon> (PM that stuff to sheena, nobody else can hear you)
[14:56] * Reis will teleport them out to the facility, and then settle back to watch them blow shit up and gauge the effects of the shit blown up.
[14:56] <Sheena> "Hell ya,"
[14:56] <Alathon> Kuonji will be able to use his ball-lightning attack as normal
[14:57] <Alathon> when boosting sheena's attacks however, he won't be able to boost as much.. -1 die of bonus damage
[14:57] <Reis> (Hm, 3d8 then?)
[14:57] <Alathon> (yeah)
[14:57] <Reis> (Ah, he was able to use his lightning attack while he was in me too, right?)
[14:58] <Reis> (... Which raises the question of how he aimed it.)
[14:58] <Alathon> (the answer is: poorly)
[14:58] <Alathon> (at present, he's firing blind)
[14:58] <Alathon> (-8 on the to-hit)
[14:58] <Kuonji> (-8 or -6?)
[14:58] <Reis> (Ah, all righty. Well, he's a ninja, there's some chance of having blind-shoot)
[14:58] <Kuonji> (well, I have blind fight)
[14:58] <Reis> (Never got shoot since you didn't shoot anything before, eh?)
[14:59] <Kuonji> (I didn't even realize there was a feat for it)
[14:59] <Kuonji> (too bad I can't unison with the princess... being able to boost her heal spells would be damn useful)
[15:00] <Reis> (Heh. And yeah, that would be handy - IS there any way to boost heals or regens or force fields? Or is that more of a 'Higher levels if anything' thing?)
[15:00] <Alathon> (if there is, you haven't found it yet)
[15:01] <Alathon> (the research you got suggested yes)
[15:01] <Alathon> (at higher levels)
[15:01] <Reis> (Heh, roger)
[15:01] <Kuonji> (man, maxing this is going to burn through, what, 4-5 levels of epic? we might not even make it that far, yikes)
[15:02] <Alathon> (well, even just going to rank 3 would provide a noticeable benefit)
[15:02] * Reis nods. "Hm... about 75% the efficiency of last time."
[15:02] <Reis> (Indeed)
[15:02] <Alathon> (being able to simultaneously add damage and either ap or fp)
[15:05] <Alathon> alright
[15:05] <Alathon> I'll assume you have your fun, blow shit up.. Kuonji starts getting fatigued around the two hour mark
[15:06] <Alathon> unless you draw down his EP first
[15:06] <Kuonji> (ok, works for me)
[15:06] <Sheena> "Woo"
[15:06] <Reis> (All righty then)
[15:07] * Reis checks the timer once Kuonji reports his tiredness. "All right... looks like you're good for about two hours unless you get tired out beforehand, Sakura-san."
[15:09] <Kuonji> "Hey Sheena, let's get back to the lab so I can change back."
[15:10] * Reis brought the hot water and Kuonji's clothes with them this time :P
[15:11] <Kuonji> (again, kuonji keeps his clothes stashed in hairspace... so that's a neat trick :P)
[15:11] <Sheena> "Ok, lets haed back so we can change"
[15:11] <Reis> (Doh, I forgot that. Well, I bring the hot water this time, at least :P )
[15:13] <Alathon> either way, the change back is accomplished
[15:14] * Reis takes 'em back and pours the water on Kuonji and suchlike, and then returns back to the range to work on something of her own in the free time remaining.
[15:16] * Kuonji changes back into his clothes
[15:17] <Alathon> anything else before we move on to the next day?
[15:17] <Reis> (Nope, just working on my stuff for the moment)
[15:18] <Kuonji> (Sakura's good)
[15:21] <Reis> (So, advance to our next thingy I suppose?)
[15:21] <Alathon> yes
[15:21] <Kuonji> (yay)
[15:22] <Alathon> the next thing is your briefing on your next mission.
[15:22] <Alathon> When y ou arrive, Usagi and Mercury will already be there, talking quietly.
[15:24] * Reis slips in, and will greet them if they pay attention, but otherwise not distract them right away.
[15:24] <Alathon> Soon after you arrive, Yuuno will catch up, looking like she was rushing a bit to get here on time.
[15:24] <Alathon> The stop talking when everyone gets here.. Usagi greets you all, and asks that you seat yourselves.
[15:24] * Reis smiles and waves when Yuuno gets in. "How'd it go, Yuuno-sensei?"
[15:24] * Reis nods and finds herself a seat.
[15:24] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Pretty well.. I still don't have my old endurance, but I'll get it back."
[15:24] * Mani takes a seat.
[15:24] <Alathon> "That'll take more than just a couple days, I'm afraid."
[15:25] * Kuonji takes a seat
[15:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "Alright."
[15:25] * Reis nods. "Good to hear it's going well, and good luck with it."
[15:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "To be clear, I will only be discussing your team's mission, rather than overarching strategic goals."
[15:26] <Kuonji> (FUCKING CHRIST)
[15:26] <Kuonji> (why does my roommate's friend always have to drop by on saturdays?)
[15:26] * Sheena takes a seat qan listens to the bost)
[15:26] <Kuonji> (It's already starting, "Hey man, let me use your computer")
[15:27] <Reis> (... Mein gott.)
[15:27] <Alathon> "It's our intent that each team know the least they need to accomplish their goals, to prevent any captures from compromising the safety of other teams."
[15:27] * Reis nods.
[15:27] <Alathon> (dude, why haven't you told him "I've got shit from like 3 until 10 on saturdays")
[15:27] * Mani nods.
[15:28] <Kuonji> (because then I'd have to explain, and that ain't fucking happening)
[15:28] <Alathon> (dude, that's weak)
[15:29] <Sheena> (just tell em you got a game going)
[15:29] <Sheena> "Makes sense'
[15:29] <Reis> (Well, if you don't tell him, he's just going to keep doing it, it's not like he's gonna stop doing what you let him do unless you tell him to)
[15:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "Obviously, you'll be paired with Sailor Mercury for these first missions."
[15:30] <Mani> ("And if you do well, you'll advance to better senshi." :) )
[15:30] <Alathon> Mercury: "The reasoning behind this choice is that your teams long range and wide area affects best compliment my own shorter range capabilities."
[15:30] <Kuonji> (I'd rather miss a little of the game then open myself up to a whole world of humiliation IRL)
[15:30] <Alathon> Mercury's demeanor is.. very businesslike.
[15:30] * Reis blinks, and nods. "Understood, ma'am."
[15:30] <Alathon> (humiliation? that sounds like a personal problem)
[15:31] <Reis> (Humiliation? What's humiliating? You don't need to tell them every single detail of it.)
[15:31] <Alathon> (and I don't like people bailing mid-game)
[15:31] <Alathon> (and fuck, you're not in middle school)
[15:31] <Reis> (Just say: 'I have something scheduled. It's a committment, something I'm doing with other people. I'll give you your time later.')
[15:32] <Reis> (You hardly need to tell them all the details and that you're playing a Sailor Moon RPG :P )
[15:33] <Sheena> (just remember the /clear comand)
[15:35] <Kuonji> (...)
[15:35] <Kuonji> (that was quite the derail)
[15:36] <Reis> (Well, if you're annoyed by it, you don't need to just let him use your comp, dude.)
[15:36] <Reis> (Seriously, you've got a whole range of options from complete disclosure on down to 'fuck off, I'm not telling you anything')
[15:38] <Sheena> "Yes ma'am, Is there a stile of fighting your prefer that we should adjust to?"
[15:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "That will depend on circumstances."
[15:40] <Alathon> Usagi: "Your first mission will be the removal of senior UST representatives in the Confederacy."
[15:41] * Reis nods. "Like the Addington mission, Usagi-san?"
[15:41] <Alathon> Usagi: "Somewhat, yes."
[15:41] <Alathon> Usagi: "The bulk of your targets reside in their consulate. Levelling it will deal with them."
[15:42] <Alathon> Usagi: "That will be Reis and Sheena's responsibility at the start."
[15:42] * Reis nods. "Understood."
[15:42] * Sheena grins
[15:42] <Sheena> "Will do"
[15:43] <Alathon> Usagi: "After that, our plan is that you move as a team to take out several more UST strongpoints."
[15:43] <Alathon> Usagi: "This will, ideally, be accomplishes within a span of twenty minutes or less."
[15:43] <Alathon> Usagi: "At which point you will be withdrawn."
[15:44] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Mercury slightly as saying that.
[15:44] <Alathon> Usagi taps a series of buttons on the table, bringing up a low 3d map of some city in the center of hte table.
[15:44] * Reis leans forward to observe the map.
[15:44] <Alathon> Most of it is a dim blue, with four groups of structures in red.
[15:45] <Alathon> Two of them have crosses superimposed on them.
[15:47] <Sheena> "Are we worried about civilian targets in these zones?"
[15:47] <Alathon> Usagi frowns.. and Mercury speaks up.
[15:47] <Alathon> Mercury: "Within the consulate? no."
[15:48] <Alathon> Mercury: "In the two target cathedrals, and their boot camp, there is no particular need to target obviously non-combatants."
[15:49] * Sheena nods
[15:49] <Sheena> "
[15:49] * Reis purses her lips. "What scale is this map, ma'am?"
[15:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "Um.."
[15:50] <Sheena> "I was more worried about the effects of our Explosive shells and the area's we would effect"
[15:50] <Alathon> Mercury: "7,481 to 1"
[15:50] * Reis nods.
[15:50] <Alathon> Yuuno looks a little queasy, but speaks up.
[15:50] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Thinking of using a combination attack?"
[15:51] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I don't have any beam attacks to pitch in, but.. the two of you ought to be more than enough."
[15:51] <Sheena> "..."
[15:51] <Sheena> "That's all ways risky, but the effect.."
[15:51] * Reis purses her lips. "... That would get the job done, if we could keep the collateral damage down. I was thinking AoE bursts."
[15:52] * Sheena nods
[15:52] <Sheena> "We do have a good stock pile of AoE shells now, much more then the normal 4 per mision"
[15:53] * Reis measures out the rough radius of the embassy. "I spent most of my free time making Yuuno-sensei's new device, so I couldn't get any cartridges charged - do you mind if I borrow some of yours?"
[15:53] <Sheena> "Not at all"
[15:54] <Sheena> "We we did use a joint attack, it may link us to that last guy we pasted"
[15:54] <Sheena> "Sliver bolts from heaven would be hard to forget"
[15:54] * Reis nods. "Well... nothing wrong with making them think the fires of heaven or whatever decided to destroy their embassy too."
[15:55] <Alathon> Mercury: "Given that we will be carrying out similar attacks until we've killed off all their leaders, that is not likely to matter."
[15:57] <Alathon> Mercury: "Are you concerned that such a link will draw undue attention to your team?"
[15:57] * Reis shrugs. "They already sent a horde of angels after us, I think they're paying attention already."
[15:58] <Mani> "And they saw what came of that."
[15:59] * Reis nods.
[15:59] <Alathon> Mercury: "Our enemies do not appear to be terribly rational. Their mercenaries might be, however."
[15:59] <Sheena> "Im mostly worried about some one getting the bright idea to send such an attack back at us"
[16:00] <Mani> "What do you mean?"
[16:01] <Alathon> Yuuno: "A reflective shield?"
[16:01] <Alathon> Yuuno: "... it's certainly possible. I can do it. With an attack of that magnitude, I don't know, but... it's theoretically possible."
[16:01] <Alathon> Mercury frowns.
[16:01] <Alathon> Mercury: "Is this a field you can establish to last over a long period of time on a structure, or rather, a presonal field?"
[16:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Personal.. but I've seen structures which had such defenses."
[16:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: "They're not easy to build, though."
[16:02] <Mani> "And would it work against area effect attacks?"
[16:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: ".. I don't know."
[16:02] <Alathon> Mercury: "Perhaps, test the building with one lesser attack before launching the greater?"
[16:03] <Alathon> Mercury has maintained the same cool expression and even tone throughout the meeting.
[16:03] <Mani> "Perhaps, but that could allow targets with teleportation ability to escape."
[16:03] * Reis frowns. "That would definitely be a danger if they could do it... Yes, that should work, and if nothing else we can attempt to evade."
[16:03] <Mani> "Would Sheena be able to detect such a shield?"
[16:03] <Sheena> "I should be able to see it, if its magic based that is"
[16:03] * Sheena pushs up her glasses a bit
[16:04] <Alathon> Mercury: "That simplifies things."
[16:04] <Mani> "Perhaps Yuuno could create one so Sheena can familiarize herself with it."
[16:05] * Reis purses her lips. "We can also have field defences up, that should at least nullify a shot if it comes back at us, even if we can't evade."
[16:05] <Alathon> Mercury: "It is likely that I would detect such a magical construct as well. However, we need an alternate plan should there be such in place."
[16:06] <Reis> "Walk in and go room to room?"
[16:06] <Mani> "Drop explosives on it?"
[16:07] <Mani> "Mm. I suppose it really depends on exactly how the shield works."
[16:07] <Sheena> "We can handle close combat easy enought, and hell mani and sakura would just be terriors"
[16:07] <Alathon> Mercury: "Given the size of the complex, going room to room would be unaviseable."
[16:08] <Alathon> Mercury: "That would substantially extend our stay."
[16:08] <Mani> "Perhaps Sakura could plant explosives inside. Though it would be a risk for him."
[16:08] <Alathon> (Mercury: "So I'll bring a few tactical nukes I nipped from the U.S. after they fell apart)
[16:09] <Alathon> Mercury looks over to Sakura.
[16:09] <Alathon> Mercury: "Do you have demolitions training?"
[16:09] <Alathon> Mercury: "Barring an explosion which would damage a wide area outside the compound, precisely shaped and placed charges would be necessary."
[16:10] * Kuonji waits for a pause before raising his hand
[16:10] <Alathon> (She just asked you a question)
[16:10] <Kuonji> (oh shit, I completly missed that)
[16:10] <Kuonji> (scratch that last line)
[16:11] <Alathon> (nod)
[16:12] <Kuonji> "I have some training in disabling explosives, but not in planting them, something I should probably rectify."
[16:13] <Sheena> "Hmm, i guess we check for protection and then hit them hard"
[16:13] <Alathon> Mercury nods.
[16:14] <Sheena> "If speed is our goal, should we try out that unsion system for more band?"
[16:14] <Alathon> Mercury: "Hmm? Unison system?"
[16:14] <Kuonji> "I was actually just about to ask that Sheena."
[16:14] * Reis blinks, nodding. "That would almost certainly be a great help, if you want to, Sakura-san."
[16:14] <Kuonji> "It doesn't sound like my other abilities will be particularly useful for this mission."
[16:15] * Reis looks up at Mercury. "Um... Sakura-san picked up a cursed form, which allows him to enhance a mage's combat powers."
[16:15] <Alathon> Usagi: "Other than the other three targets where you'll be going hand-to-hand, all too likely."
[16:15] <Sheena> (hand to hand at the other 3 targets?)
[16:16] <Reis> (Yup)
[16:16] <Reis> "We ran a few experiments with it since our last mission, and we're fairly sure we can do it safely."
[16:16] <Alathon> Mercury: "Enhance in what sense?"
[16:17] <Alathon> Mercury: "Unless there is some obvious disadvantage to such, I leave it at your discretion."
[16:19] * Reis shakes her head. "No disadvantage except that Sakura-san's not able to do his own job on the outside - the enhancement is primarily to power and defences at the moment, though apparently other things are possible."
[16:21] <Mani> "And it does require him assuming his alternate form, so if no hot liquid is available afterwards, he won't be able to assume his natural form."
[16:22] <Alathon> Mercury nods.
[16:22] <Sheena> "It would boost your body for close combat as well right?
[16:22] <Alathon> Mercury: "I am familiar with the basics of Sakura's alternate form."
[16:22] <Alathon> Mercury: "Sakura, you carry miniaturized thermoses of hot water in your hairspace, do you not?"
[16:23] <Kuonji> "I can always store a thermos in my pocket dimension"
[16:23] <Kuonji> "Err, yes."
[16:23] <Alathon> Mercury: "Good. That is an acceptable risk, then."
[16:24] * Mani looks thoughtful for a moment.
[16:24] <Alathon> Mercury: "Though it does raise the question of whether this particular mission should be scrubbed in case of heavy rain."
[16:24] <Mani> "Did you ever test if the merged form is affected by hot water?"
[16:25] <Kuonji> "Come to think of it, I don't believe we did."
[16:25] * Reis blinks. "... No, it didn't occur to me. Sorry."
[16:27] <Alathon> Mercury: "Do that."
[16:29] <Alathon> Mercury: "That said, we still do not have a functional alternate plan."
[16:29] * Reis nods. "When will we start the mission? Do we have time to test it and then make sure Sakura-san's rested?"
[16:29] * Sheena hmms for a bit
[16:29] <Alathon> Mercury: "Tomorrow afternoon, so as to carry out the mission during the early morning hours in Confederate time."
[16:30] * Reis nods.
[16:30] <Mani> "Hm. It'd be possible to set the building on fire, but it wouldn't be fast or sure..."
[16:30] <Sheena> "I can attemp to distrupt any shelds we find"
[16:30] <Sheena> "It should work, but this would be the first time i try this new system in battle'
[16:30] <Alathon> Mercury: "Attempt? Can you succeed?"
[16:31] <Alathon> Mercury shakes her head.
[16:31] <Alathon> Mercury looks over at Reis.
[16:31] <Alathon> Mercury: "You are capable of generating a similar forcefield, are you not?"
[16:32] <Sheena> "Yunno can as well, Shoud be simple to test"
[16:33] * Reis nods. "Sheena-san is as well, if an attack is deflected at us the shield should nullify it."
[16:33] <Alathon> Mercury: "Reis, if you would?"
[16:34] <Kuonji> "Wow, I need to step up my game."
[16:34] <Alathon> Out of nowhere, a thin blueish visor appears over Mercury's eyes.
[16:34] * Reis blinks, nodding, and holding out her hand. "Stahlmauer." Nothing visibly happens.
[16:35] * Sheena looks over her shades
[16:35] <Alathon> Mercury seems to see whatever Reis did; she's looking at it intently for a moemnt, before looking back to Sheena.
[16:36] <Alathon> Mercury: "Disurpt it."
[16:36] <Alathon> (disrupt)
[16:36] * Sheena holds her hand to the side and lets dark heart form"
[16:36] <Mani> (She was speaking to Sheena in her native tongue.)
[16:36] * Reis narrows her eyes, focusing on holding it up.
[16:36] <Sheena> "It should be a massive area disurpting, If there's anything we dont want effected in here..?"
[16:37] <Kuonji> (hmm... maybe I should get Sakura a forcefield...)
[16:37] <Reis> (It's a good buy, if you want it)
[16:38] <Alathon> (er.. how would a ninja have a forcefield?)
[16:38] <Alathon> Mercury frowns.
[16:38] <Mani> (I knew that was coming. :) )
[16:38] <Alathon> (er.. you can totally target it on a single effect)
[16:39] <Kuonji> (a shadow forcefield of course!)
[16:40] <Reis> (Shadows reaching up to protect you? :P )
[16:41] <Alathon> (eh, yeah, that'd work)
[16:41] <Mani> (Could have a bonus/penalty based on lighting conditions.)
[16:42] <Kuonji> (theoretically, if I did get a forcefield, would I be able to boost a forcefield via unison?)
[16:42] <Sheena> "Ok, do it dark heart"
[16:44] <Sheena> Dark Heart: Ok, System disruption.
[16:44] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+20
[16:44] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{37}
[16:45] <Alathon> And.. nothing happens, as far as any of you can see.
[16:45] <Alathon> Mercury nods slightly, and smiles a little.
[16:45] <Alathon> Mercury: "That should suffice against most magical constructs.
[16:45] <Sheena> "Thats good to hear"
[16:45] * Sheena takes her hand off the staff leaving it standing there
[16:45] <Kuonji> (so al, can I boost forcefields?)
[16:46] <Alathon> (you don't have that power yet)
[16:46] <Kuonji> (yes, but I meant theoretically)
[16:46] * Reis winces. "That was fairly unpleasant..."
[16:46] <Alathon> (yes)
[16:47] <Sheena> "Sorry reis,"
[16:47] <Alathon> Mercury: "At what range can you make that particular attack?"
[16:48] <Sheena> (whats the range? single target is if i can see it right?)
[16:49] <Alathon> (it's 100 + 10*caster level, so 300)
[16:49] <Alathon> (feet)
[16:51] <Sheena> "Estmated about 300 feet"
[16:51] <Sheena> "We my current level of speed i don't think it will be to much of an issue
[16:51] <Alathon> Mercury: "Then, we have a plan."
[16:52] <Alathon> Mercury: "If there is any defensive field, cancelling it will be your responsibility."
[16:52] <Alathon> Mercury looks over at Reis.
[16:53] <Alathon> Mercury: "Reis, you are capable of point to point teleports, carrying several passengers, are you not?"
[16:53] * Reis nods. "Range limit is one mile, and I can carry about four passengers of normal human mass."
[16:54] <Alathon> Mercury nods.
[16:54] <Alathon> Mercury: "You will be responsible for moving Mani and Kuonji until we land at our second target, here."
[16:55] <Alathon> She points out one of the buildings with a cross.
[16:56] * Reis nods. "Understood, ma'am."
[16:58] <Alathon> Mercury: "Our targets at the second and third locations will be UST clergy, 'evangelists', and anyone under arms."
[16:59] <Alathon> Mercury: "As well, I will destroy their energy collection devices."
[17:00] <Sheena> "That will be a hard fight, thoes evangelists have giveing us problems in the past"
[17:00] <Sheena> "There more then willing to use heavy hitting mental attacks"
[17:00] <Alathon> Mercury: "Our fourth target, and one which we may choose to skip should there be an exceptionally strong UST response, is this boot camp outside of town propper."
[17:00] <Kuonji> "I'm more worried about the mercs."
[17:01] <Alathon> Mercury: "That is what I speak of."
[17:02] <Alathon> Mercury: "Should more than a handful show up, I will withdraw us immediately."
[17:02] * Reis nods. "Right."
[17:02] <Alathon> Mercury: "As such, it is imperative that we keep a tight formation throughout."
[17:02] <Alathon> Mercury: "Should a manageable number arrive, we will kill them as well."
[17:03] <Alathon> Mercury: "An ideal outcome of this mission would be the destruction of all four targets, as well as attrition of their interdimensional mercenary forces."
[17:03] <Sheena> "I don't supose any ones come up with somthing better then our standered coms's for battles in the last few days?"
[17:03] <Kuonji> "The evangelists seem to split down the middle fairly easily. The mercs not so much."
[17:03] <Alathon> Mercury pops a brief smile at Kuonji's description of the evangelists, before continuing with Sheena.
[17:04] <Alathon> Mercury: "Yes, you will have headsets which can be keyed into your comm units."
[17:04] <Mani> "Good."
[17:04] <Alathon> (Mercury: "Sorry, but they're not bluetooth compatible.")
[17:04] <Kuonji> (woo, got the icequeen to smile)
[17:04] * Reis smiles and nods. "Excellent, thank you ma'am."
[17:06] <Sheena> "Can't wait to use em"
[17:11] <Kuonji> (am I still connected?)
[17:12] <Mani> (You're connected to me, at least.)
[17:12] <Reis> (Yup)
[17:12] <Sheena> (ya)
[17:12] <Kuonji> (k, cool)
[17:13] <Kuonji> (having some site troubles)
[17:13] <Mani> roll 1d2
[17:13] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d2 --> [ 1d2=1 ]{1}
[17:13] <Mani> (And we have AlaBot.)
[17:14] <Alathon> (yeah, I got distracted looking through logs for something)
[17:14] <Alathon> (sigh)
[17:14] <Alathon> (didn't think it'd been ten minutes)
[17:14] <Reis> (No problem)
[17:15] <Alathon> Mercury: "You mentioned mental attacks.. mental commands to paralyze the muscles, for example?"
[17:16] <Reis> (Well, Reis didn't get hit with any mindfucking, so I'll leave it to Sheens :P )
[17:17] <Kuonji> (most of the fucking seems to be done to or by Sheena)
[17:21] <Alathon> (Sheena? Mani?)
[17:21] <Alathon> (Anyone?)
[17:21] <Mani> (I was never hit by one.)
[17:21] <Sheena> "Im not sure, They tried it on me and failed"
[17:21] <Kuonji> (I'm waiting on them)
[17:21] <Reis> (Yup, I was waiting on someone who actually got hit by it)
[17:21] <Mani> (There was one command attempt, but everyone saved.)
[17:21] <Sheena> "Im propmtly reduced them to a smear for the attempt"
[17:22] <Kuonji> "Jeez... It's been a while since they've tagged me with one... I was able to break out of it fairly quickly though"
[17:23] <Sheena> "I belive it was durning that sige they tried on the riders city, It's likly recored along with the rest of that battle"
[17:24] <Mani> "I think I was hit by something like that once, but it was from a Yamaha a long time ago."
[17:24] <Alathon> Mercury nods.
[17:24] <Alathon> Mercury: "In any case, I have defenses against such, which they are unlikely to be able to penetrate."
[17:24] <Alathon> Mercury: "I will watch for an aid anyone so affected."
[17:25] * Reis nods. "Understood, thank you."
[17:25] <Sheena> (if i remember right that vid would all so show sheena' blowing up a house mani was in and then point at reis)
[17:26] <Mani> (What is it with you guys and blowing up houses? :) )
[17:27] <Mani> (Well, at least you're the right two for this next assignment.)
[17:27] <Reis> (^_^)
[17:27] <Alathon> Mercury: "Are there any questions or concerns that have yet to be addressed?"
[17:28] <Kuonji> "Exit stratagy in case everything goes south?"
[17:29] <Alathon> Mercury: "I teleport us all out."
[17:29] <Mani> "Other than specific details, such as where the rest of us will be waiting for Sheena and Reis, and how we'll approach the subsequent targets, no. Will we be discussing those now or later?"
[17:30] <Alathon> Mercury: "We will not be seperating while they make their attack."
[17:30] <Mani> "I see."
[17:31] <Kuonji> (I like how her exit stratagy doesn't have back ups in case she's incapacitated)
[17:31] <Mani> (Yuuno teleports us out. :p )
[17:31] <Alathon> (well, I can think of two...)
[17:31] <Alathon> (ask in character if it's an interesting question)
[17:32] <Kuonji> (oh hell no)
[17:32] <Reis> (Her reason: "... Incapacitated? Me? Heh.")
[17:32] <Kuonji> (ah... what the hell, why not)
[17:33] <Kuonji> "and if you should be incapacitated Mercury-sama? Or what if we become seperated, do we have a rally point for the extraction?"
[17:34] <Alathon> Mercury: "Yuuno has a teleport destionation in Chicago which is within her range of Atlanta, does she not?"
[17:34] <Alathon> She looks over at Yuuno.
[17:35] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah.. I could hit Kansas City too."
[17:35] <Sheena> "What's every one's normal flight speed? So reis and myself can adjust'
[17:36] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'm pretty quick.. I can manage a bit over a hundred fifty kilometers an hour."
[17:36] <Reis> "I've reduced my flight speed to a fairly low level, I use teleports to get around at about 600 miles per hour."
[17:37] <Reis> "I can increase it if I need to keep up, though, it'll just take some modification of Swordbreaker."
[17:37] <Mani> "About 15 kilometers per hour."
[17:37] <Sheena> "Huh, guess ill be hitting orbit some time with out you reis"
[17:38] * Reis shrugs. "Well, as long as nobody tires out, they can make orbit even if they're moving at 2 miles per hour."
[17:39] <Kuonji> "Am I the only one that can't fly?"
[17:39] * Kuonji looks around
[17:39] * Mani nods.
[17:40] <Alathon> Mercury: "I had thought you could fly in your alternate form?"
[17:40] <Sheena> "All the grown up's can"
[17:40] <Mani> "Can't let the birds get complacent."
[17:40] * Kuonji nods "While I can fly in my alternate form, I''d rather not depend on that, since I'm quite a bit more fragile in that form."
[17:41] <Alathon> Mercury: "You will need to be in it to boost Reis and Sheena's attacks regardless, will you not?"
[17:41] <Kuonji> "Hopefully the only time I'll see combat in that form is Unison form"
[17:41] <Alathon> Mercury: "And once we have landed after our first attack, flight will not be necessary."
[17:41] <Alathon> Mercury's brow creases.
[17:41] <Kuonji> "Yes, but in unison form I won't be a target."
[17:41] <Alathon> Mercury: "Your capabilities differ while.. in what sense?"
[17:42] <Kuonji> "The unison takes me into the magical core of the... host, umm, I guess host."
[17:42] <Kuonji> (scratch the last host)
[17:43] <Alathon> (hm?)
[17:43] <Kuonji> (just meant to say it once)
[17:43] <Reis> (I think she meant why are you more frail?)
[17:44] <Kuonji> (Really? the because it came a bit after I mentioned the frail part... and I think the reduction in size would be a fairly obvious reason... I have con of like 4 in that form)
[17:46] <Alathon> Mercury: "Wait.. so..?
[17:46] <Alathon> Mercury: "You do not have a physical form when so-engaged?"
[17:46] <Alathon> She's a little more animated, maybe even curious.
[17:47] * Kuonji nods "Yes Mercury-sama."
[17:47] <Alathon> Mercury: "Hm."
[17:47] * Reis blinks, nodding. "Ah... he's absorbed into our magical core when he activates that ability."
[17:47] <Alathon> Mercury: "So, we have one less low-speed flyer when you are 'unisoned'?"
[17:48] * Kuonji nods
[17:48] <Alathon> Mercury: "In that case, it would definately be best that you remain so until we reach the second objective."
[17:48] <Kuonji> "Hai, Mercury-sama."
[17:49] * Reis nods. "We know his maximum endurance is about two hours - we haven't checked how quickly Sakura-san can recover that yet, though."
[17:49] <Mani> "If I take my natural form, I can be carried by a faster flier, also."
[17:49] <Alathon> Mercury frowns.
[17:50] <Alathon

[Alathon]

Session 66 - part 2

[17:50] <Alathon> Mercury: "Do you retain your armor in that form?"
[17:50] <Mani> "Yes."
[17:53] <Alathon> Mercury: "In that case, it would make sense."
[17:55] <Alathon> Mercury: "regarding action at the second and third objectives, there is at least a fair chance that we may take one or both objectives while they are unwares."
[17:55] <Alathon> Mercury: "It would be ideal if we can catch them in their pajamas literally, but we should not count on it."
[17:55] * Sheena hmms
[17:55] <Alathon> Mercury: "I do not believe it likely that the fourth objective will be unprepared, given that at least ten minutes, give or take, must elapse completing the first three."
[17:56] <Sheena> "If i take the safties off my spells i can over load them with power, This Will blow the crap out of our targets."
[17:57] <Sheena> "Problem is it would drain rather fast, leaving me with close combat and basical the rest of the fight in a support roll"
[17:57] <Alathon> Mercury: "It would be best if you avoided that, unless a particularly important target, such as a mercenary spellcaster, presents itself."
[17:57] * Sheena nods
[17:59] <Alathon> Mercury: "Bear in mind, our goals at the second and third objectives are the deaths of UST combatants and leaders, and hte destruction of their energy storage devices."
[17:59] <Alathon> Mercury: "Physical destruction of the building would interfere with the mission, in that we would have to dig through the rubble to gain access to their crosses."
[17:59] * Reis nods.
[18:00] <Mani> "If a choice is necessitated, does either have a higher priority?"
[18:00] <Alathon> Mercury: "Also, while it would be preferable to engage selectively at the fourth objective, flattening it is an option."
[18:00] <Alathon> Mercury: "Their leadership; 'Evangelists' and clergy."
[18:00] <Alathon> Mercury: "Their network will be irrelevant should their leadership be deceased."
[18:00] <Reis> "Level it if their response looks like it will be getting us fast, ma'am?"
[18:00] * Mani nods.
[18:00] <Alathon> Mercury, quickly: "Rather, that is our supposition."
[18:01] <Alathon> Mercury: "That decision will be made at the time of engagement."
[18:01] <Alathon> Mercury: "Based on the perceived opposition, and condition of the team."
[18:01] * Mani thinks.
[18:01] * Reis nods.
[18:02] <Mani> "If we're staying close together for the fourth objective, that will leave us particularly vulnerable to area attacks."
[18:02] <Sheena> "We'll turn the first target into a smoking stain on the earth before they can blink, that shoudl give us a good start"
[18:02] <Alathon> Mercury: "True. That is the downside to maintaining a formation which can be rapidly evacuated."
[18:05] <Sheena> "Has there been any luck in reproducting thoes healing drinks we took from them?"
[18:06] * Kuonji perks up a bit "Oh, and come to think of it, has R&D sifted through any of our new goodies?"
[18:06] <Alathon> Mercury: "I do not know.. Usagi?"
[18:06] <Alathon> She looks over at Usagi questioningly.
[18:06] <Alathon> Usagi: "The healing potions? There has been theoretical progress, but no actual replication yet."
[18:06] <Kuonji> ("Fuck, bastards had to put me on the spot")
[18:07] <Alathon> Usagi: "As for your stuff, R&D is glutted.. they're working through it as fast as they can, but between your haul, and what other teams have brought it.. it'll be a few more days at the least."
[18:07] * Sheena shurgs
[18:07] <Sheena> "Good for us in the long run"
[18:07] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[18:07] <Mani> ("We've decided to go with clever marketing and packaging to make people think they feel better when they drink it.")
[18:07] * Reis nods. "I guess we'll be taking a look at it after this mission, then."
[18:08] <Alathon> usagi: "I'd be a lot more comfortable sending teams out with healing elixers, so they can at least stablize injured members before evacuating."
[18:08] * Mani nods.
[18:08] * Sheena pulls out her com/PDA and add's to her work list
[18:08] <Sheena> "Damn our list just keep getting biger reis,"
[18:09] <Alathon> Mercury: "For the record, I agree with your position on automated weapons emplacements."
[18:09] <Sheena> "Pylons.. antimater.. Devices.."
[18:09] * Sheena looks up and smiles at that
[18:09] <Sheena> "It's powering them right?"
[18:10] <Alathon> Mercury: "It simply has not been feasible to produce the support for them necessary to place them outside the Japanese island."
[18:10] <Alathon> Mercury: "Correct."
[18:10] * Reis purses her lips, nodding. "Hm... This isn't mission-related, but I had an idea about how to fix the endurance problem our soldiers have - should I work on it, or focus on other tasks?"
[18:10] <Alathon> Mercury: "What sort of idea?"
[18:12] <Reis> "I've just been bouncing ideas for now, but I was thinking of enhancing soldiers who volunteered - there are a number of technologies and spells that could achieve that kind of result."
[18:12] <Sheena> (mecury running on magical genius 16 ish or something)
[18:12] <Reis> "Ideally we could train them all to be mages like Sheena-san and I are, but... there's no information on how to _identify_ a potential mage." She shakes her head. "It might be doable, but it'd likely be slow, so direct enhancement seems a better option."
[18:13] * Kuonji narrows his eyes a bit at Reis
[18:13] <Kuonji> (damn magists)
[18:14] <Mani> (Reis: "There is a small chance of subjects going berserk and rampaging out of control, but that's what self-destruct implants are for.")
[18:14] <Alathon> Mercury: "Enhancing?"
[18:14] <Alathon> Usagi frowns a little.
[18:14] <Sheena> (reis wants to makea robo cop)
[18:14] <Kuonji> (oh great, are we going to get another Tsukasa?)
[18:15] <Kuonji> (mad scientist Reis performing demented human alteration experiments)
[18:15] * Reis blinks at Kuonji's reaction. "Um... there are a few things, like the barrier jacket spells Sheena-san and I use for armour... I'd have to take a closer look into it to get an idea of exactly what would be involved."
[18:16] * Reis shrugs. "I thought I should pass the basic idea by you first to see if I should even bother putting in the research time."
[18:17] * Sheena thnks about it and nods
[18:17] <Mani> "So, these would be long-lasting or 'packaged' spells, rather than actual modification of people?"
[18:17] <Sheena> "You don't need to be able to toss around giant beams of power to mataine a barrier jacket"
[18:17] <Sheena> "It's a rather low drain"
[18:18] <Sheena> "Even if there's only a few others that could do it, it would help protect them from a lot off the stuff we've faced so far"
[18:19] <Reis> "Ideally - I've also had some ideas with prosthetics, but that would be a lot riskier and less widely usable, since I don't imagine there would be many volunteers for even enhanced limbs."
[18:20] <Reis> "I could put the research in to see if we can restore lost-limb victims to an even higher level of performance, but something that's useful for everyone is probably more useful."
[18:20] <Alathon> Mercury has been mulling this over for a bit, and finally responds.
[18:21] <Alathon> Mercury: "The barrier jacket idea.. as you describe it, that would be a form of training, rahter than a modification."
[18:21] <Alathon> Mercury: "And an excellent idea if it pans out."
[18:21] <Alathon> Mercury: "As for prosthetics and.. 'higher levels of performance'.. that is a direction best not explored."
[18:22] * Reis blinks and nods. "All right, understood ma'am."
[18:22] <Alathon> Mercury: "This is a topic that we have discussed at length, and the use of combat modifications are not something we believe would be an appropriate policy for Crystal Tokyo."
[18:23] <Alathon> (ew, that sentence sounded horrible.)
[18:23] <Kuonji> (aww, we could have totally made this game cyberpunk)
[18:23] <Alathon> (you can still have the punk park.. the punked by senshi part)
[18:23] * Reis nods. "Right, the idea had some iffy points, which is why I thought I'd ask before putting days into putting together the technology."
[18:23] * Sheena wonders if she should bring up that antimater thing
[18:23] <Alathon> Mercury nods.
[18:24] * Reis nods. "Finding people who can use the magic Sheena-san and I do will be the ideal option, I just need to isolate a way to identify them... that will probably be the most troubling part, since we have no idea where to start on it."
[18:25] * Sheena looks over to yuuno
[18:25] * Reis blinks. "Ah... have I made the magical texts we picked up offworld available to your labs yet, ma'am?"
[18:25] <Sheena> "Can't you do that yuuuno? I mean you found me"
[18:25] <Sheena> "Or rather, landed on me"
[18:25] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It can be done.. but the strength required to power a barrier jacket is non-trivial."
[18:26] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I don't know how much crossover there'd be between mages who have real potential, and people who are interested in being Marines."
[18:26] * Reis nods, frowning. "Do you know of any way to identify them, Yuuno-sensei?"
[18:27] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yes.. I could show you if you want."
[18:27] <Alathon> (but it'll cost a cp)
[18:27] <Reis> (Heh)
[18:27] <Mani> (Other than just checking out people with obvious personality disorders.)
[18:27] <Reis> (When I level up maybe :P )
[18:27] <Alathon> (that has a surprisingly high return on investment ;p )
[18:27] <Reis> "I'd appreciate that."
[18:27] <Mani> (I've noticed.)
[18:28] <Reis> (... Reis doesn't have an obvious personality disorder.)
[18:28] <Reis> (They're all hidden under the surface.)
[18:28] <Alathon> Mercury: "Anything else?"
[18:29] * Reis cocks her head, frowning to herself. "Have I made the magical texts we picked up offworld available to the main R&D department yet?"
[18:29] <Alathon> (uh..w hat/)
[18:29] <Alathon> (you're asking her if you've done something ;p )
[18:30] <Reis> (Heh.)
[18:30] <Alathon> Mercury frowns.
[18:30] <Alathon> Mercury: "What do you mean?"
[18:30] <Sheena> "There's all that work we've done on the midichan system as well, tho thoes notes are in abyssl"
[18:31] <Reis> "We picked up a few textbooks on a magical style called the Velkan style - the intermediate and advanced texts are the original material, but the more basic things are secondhand sources."
[18:31] <Alathon> Mercury: "To my knowledge, you haven't.. and you'll need to translate them out of abyssal for them to be useful."
[18:32] <Mani> "What sort of opposition should we expect at the churches?"
[18:32] * Reis blinks, nodding. "Ah... right, we'll need to work on that and get them to the labs as soon as feasible..."
[18:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "Our intelligence indidicates a cadre of evangelicals, supported by a platoon of UST regulars."
[18:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "Their own churches are not typically guarded so well.."
[18:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "They're quite unpopular in the Confederacy, and from what we have gathered, tend to be subject to arson when not guarded."
[18:35] <Mani> "Any idea how big the cadre is?"
[18:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "Likely a dozen."
[18:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "Though I wouldn't expect any of them to be among their best."
[18:37] * Reis nods.
[18:40] <Alathon> Usagi: "And.. I believe that covers everything."
[18:41] * Sheena thinks and nods as well
[18:41] <Alathon> Usagi: "You'll have time tomorrow to discuss anything else before deployment."
[18:41] * Mani nods.
[18:41] <Alathon> Mercury: "Sakura, would you remain for a few minutes? I would like to discuss the capabilities of your 'unison' mode."
[18:41] <Alathon> (it'll be offscreen, she just wants to know all thes tuff you already know)
[18:42] * Reis nods. "I've been doing research on the technical details, and have some data - do you want that as well, ma'am?"
[18:42] <Sheena> "We've recored lab, and fireing rage data"
[18:43] * Sheena checks her com tomake plans for the night
[18:44] <Alathon> Mercury: "I would appreciate it, yes."
[18:45] <Alathon> Usagi and Mercury both stand up.
[18:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "I wish you all luck.. and sorry I won't be there to back you p."
[18:46] <Mani> ("Don't feel bad, ma'am. We're actually glad you won't be there.")
[18:47] <Alathon> Usagi: "Dismissed."
[18:47] <Alathon> End here.
[18:49] <Sheena> next weeks going to be nuts
[18:49] <Sheena> cant wait
[18:50] * Mani is now known as Yarrow
[18:50] <Reis> Heh, it should be excellent fun ;)
[18:50] <Yarrow> Depends on the dice. :)
[18:50] <Reis> Heh.
[18:51] <Sheena> true
[18:51] * Sheena is now known as DCG
[18:51] <Alathon> heh, the dice are half the fun ;p
[18:51] * Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf
[18:52] <Alathon> turn a 'sure thing' into 'ohgod how are we gonna salvage this'
[18:52] <Pale_Wolf> Yup ^_^
[18:52] <DCG> we end up doing that salvage thing a lot
[18:52] <Alathon> (and damn it hurts getting wine down the wrong pipe
[18:52] <Pale_Wolf> Gah, owie.
[18:52] <Yarrow> It's when they turn it into a 'we can't salvage this' that it gets bad.
[18:52] <Yarrow> Not as bad as hot sauce.
[18:52] <Pale_Wolf> That's always troubling indeed.
[18:53] <Alathon> and hot sauce isn't as bad as battery acid
[18:53] <Yarrow> Stomach acid is the worst.
[18:58] <Kuonji> (fucking christ)
[18:58] * Kuonji is now known as Ataru
[18:58] <Yarrow> Btw, is Sakura's merged form hot water test going to be done off-camera or played out?
[19:01] <Ataru> hmm too bad I didn't see that til after I checked the log :P
[19:01] <Yarrow> Hm?
[19:02] <Ataru> your comment
[19:03] <Ataru> I read the backscroll
[19:03] <Alathon> off camera
[19:03] <Alathon> the result is that his curse does nota pply to people he's unisoned with
[19:03] <Ataru> heh
[19:03] <Ataru> that's good.. though would have been kinda funny
[19:04] <Yarrow> Oh, good. I don't begrudge the others doing stuff that leaves me doing absolutely nothing, but three sessions in a row would be a bit much.
[19:04] <Pale_Wolf> Heh, and yeah... the effect of the curse would have been strange to imagine.
[19:05] <Pale_Wolf> Hm, xp?
[19:05] <Yarrow> Kills both of them instantly.
[19:05] <Pale_Wolf> That was on the list of potential effects, yes.
[19:06] <Alathon> and yarrow, keep in mind that it was your choice not to participate in those things
[19:07] <Alathon> just like it was your choice to do something different than the rest of the crew with your beef
[19:07] <Alathon> if you choose to set yourself aside.. don't be surprised that you're aside
[19:08] <Yarrow> Enh. I commented a bit about the experimentation last session, but it's not something that it'd make sense for her to say or do much about.
[19:09] <Yarrow> The others all knew something on the subject and had their own things to do with it. Mani didn't.
[19:09] <Yarrow> As for this session, she wouldn't have been at the lab in the first place.
[19:10] <Yarrow> So, yeah, it's my choice not to participate, but I think it's a better one than thrusting myself into the middle of something I really have nothing to do with.
[19:11] <Alathon> the lab segment was like.. 1/6th of this session
[19:11] <Alathon> so you definately weren't uninvolved for most, or even half of it
[19:11] <Yarrow> I didn't say I was. I just said three sessions in a row would be a bit much.
[19:12] <Alathon> three sessions in a row where... there was a small fraction of the session where you weren't involved?
[19:13] <DCG> sheena had some away time in it as well
[19:13] <DCG> but that was well spent, bwahaha
[19:13] <Alathon> last week, you missed out on a pretty big chunk
[19:14] <Alathon> (er.. nm I was thinking of sheena)
[19:14] * Yarrow shrugs.
[19:16] <Yarrow> Kind of sounds like you're saying I should feel bad about expressing satisfaction that I won't be sitting here for an hour+ with absolutely nothing to do next session.
[19:17] <Alathon> no, but the way I read it, it sounded like you felt you hadn't really been able to participate for the last two sessions at all
[19:17] <Yarrow> Nope. You were reading into it.
[19:19] <DCG> eh, next session is likly to be blenderchan going to town for most of it
[19:20] <Ataru> yeah, and sakura gets minimalized even more in combat as a power up
[19:20] <Ataru> should still be fun though ^^
[19:22] <Pale_Wolf> Heh, you're just a powerup for the 'level the area' pieces ;)
[19:26] <Alathon> Anyways.. I do strive to speed along segments where people don't get to do anything.
[19:26] <Alathon> and.. lets seee
[19:27] <Alathon> 2775 exp for the session

[Alathon]

Session 67

[12:17] <Alathon> anyways
[12:17] <Alathon> last week, we left off after a long-ish briefing with Princess Usagi and Sailor Mercury, the latter of which the team has been paired with for the purpose of this mission.
[12:17] * Pale_Wolf is now known as Reis
[12:17] * DCG is now known as Sheena
[12:18] <Alathon> "This mission" being to blow up an embassy, raid two cathedrals, and trash a United States of Texas army recruitment center / boot camp.
[12:18] * Yarrow is now known as Mani
[12:18] <Alathon> Basic plans have been set: approach the embassy from the air, all together; smash it, fly to the next target location, land, and engage together as a team from there
[12:19] * Ataru is now known as Kuonji
[12:19] <Alathon> And a date has been set as well: tomorrow afternoon
[12:19] <Alathon> Translating into early morning in the target location
[12:20] <Alathon> so, you've all got 24 hours to carry out any final tasks before the mission
[12:21] <Alathon> well
[12:21] <Alathon> less than that
[12:21] <Alathon> since it's already afternoon today, and you need to assemble around noon
[12:22] <Mani> (Don't think I have anything worth mentioning to do.)
[12:23] * Sheena adjusts her staff for a heaby bombardment of the embassy and war time melee, does a gear round up and cartrage check, and spends a quite night with celeste.
[12:23] <Reis> (Sorry, got called up)
[12:23] <Alathon> (nod)
[12:24] <Sheena> (is that minor adjustment text i sent in good al? Only changed a couple things on the staff.)
[12:24] * Reis will be working on cartridge setups to try and get a few more good to go.
[12:26] <Alathon> (no, because I didn't get it yesterday)
[12:27] <Alathon> Yuuno, if anyone checks, will be on the range practicing offensive spells
[12:28] <Alathon> He's either only got two, or is only practicing two: a basic 'shoot' attack, and a more showy 'rain of swords' attack
[12:28] <Alathon> (and to be clear, yes, that means you'll have to do the combo attack as a normal combo rather than with the combo attribute)
[12:29] <Reis> (Eh? Sheena didn't have Combo attack on the main character?)
[12:29] <Mani> (Is this a character change issue or a mechanical/magical genius thing?)
[12:29] <Sheena> (... Its a magical genius thing.)
[12:29] <Alathon> (she ditched it at the last respec)
[12:30] <Sheena> (As you pointed out, it was on the staff last respec.)
[12:30] <Alathon> (well, apparently Celeste occupied you so thoroughly today, and left you so exhausted, you simply couldn't get it done)
[12:31] <Mani> (Well, if it's a character issue, I can totally see where you're coming from. If it's a genius thing, I thought that was supposed be done in-game.)
[12:32] <Sheena> (Right... fuck it lets go.)
[12:35] <Sheena> (no really, im ready to go any way. Lets go get raped by the dice)
[12:35] <Kuonji> (that dice bot IS pretty evil)
[12:35] <Alathon> (generally, the IoP modification has been going on offscreen with the assumption that they're taking tens to get it right
[12:36] <Alathon> (I'm trying to track down where I set down rules for modifying shit on the fly, because I know they're there somewhere
[12:36] <Alathon> (was like.. base time of 10 hours per cp modified, with a roll per cp.. but can't remember the dif
[12:36] <Alathon> (was something like 10 + IoP rank * 2 + total CP change
[12:37] <Sheena> (sheena's at 17 ranks of arcane and 3 ranks of genius, for a 4 pt change.)
[12:37] <Sheena> (i know the dice hate me, but i dont think they do that much(
[12:38] <Alathon> (well, like I said, you've got time.. and you need 4 hours total)
[12:38] <Alathon> (well.. 4 hours if you succeed on each)
[12:39] <Alathon> So, DC is 26, and you need four successes, each takes an hour
[12:40] <Alathon> and you've got probably.. 8-10ish hours, more if you choose to pull an all nighter (with associated penalties for, you know, not sleeping)
[12:40] <Alathon> (roll your knowledge arcane)
[12:40] <Alathon> (a botch blows away previous successes)
[12:41] <Kuonji> (ouch)
[12:42] <Sheena> (ya ouch(
[12:43] <Alathon> (you're rolling at +19, that's not exactly hard)
[12:43] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+23
[12:43] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{36}
[12:43] <Sheena> (isnt it +2 for each rank of genius?)
[12:43] <Alathon> (+25 rather, including +2 per magical genius)
[12:43] <Sheena> (ok)
[12:43] <Alathon> (you left out your int bonus btw)
[12:43] <Reis> (Yeah the only way to fail IS to botch :P )
[12:44] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+25
[12:44] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{27}
[12:44] <Sheena> ...
[12:44] <Kuonji> (which would hbe pretty easy with these dice :P)
[12:44] <Alathon> a
[12:44] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+25
[12:44] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{35}
[12:44] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+25
[12:44] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{42}
[12:44] * AlaBot chants, "Botch.. botch.. botch!"
[12:44] * Sheena sighs as she finshs on dark heart..
[12:44] <Alathon> Anyways, you succeed.
[12:46] <Alathon> anything else, or shall we move on to the gathering pre-mission?
[12:46] <Reis> (Gathering, I think - Sheena _does_ have the combo attack now?)
[12:46] <Sheena> (ya)
[12:46] <Kuonji> (I kinda forgot what the hell I was planning on doing, if anything)
[12:47] <Mani> (Nothing to do here.)
[12:47] <Reis> (Nothing more on my end)
[12:51] <Alathon> Alrighty then
[12:52] <Alathon> (sorry, was jotting stuff down in other window and lost some time)
[12:52] <Alathon> Anyways.. you all gather tomorrow around noon.
[12:53] <Alathon> There's no catering, and this time the 'meeting' is rather larger
[12:53] <Alathon> Your team has a corner of the telepad room
[12:53] <Alathon> There are three other senshi present, apparently with their teams as well
[12:53] <Sheena> (any one we know)
[12:53] <Alathon> Jupiter is, unsurprisingly, with the team Amiko is on
[12:54] <Sheena> (no ryu?)
[12:54] * Reis walks in, looking around at the other teams.
[12:54] <Alathon> (Ryu is with the other Marine Spec Ops team, which is apparently going with Mars)
[12:55] <Alathon> You will recognize the people on that team from the briefing you all gave to the Ops department several months back
[12:55] <Kuonji> (I'm kinda surprised we ended up with mercury, and not venus)
[12:55] <Alathon> (Well, they gave a reason -- better complement to each others power sets)
[12:56] <Mani> (Ryu?)
[12:56] <Alathon> (I think he means Ken)
[12:56] <Mani> (Ah, ok.)
[12:56] <Alathon> (or is there another ryu I'm forgetting?)
[12:56] <Sheena> (ya my bad)
[12:56] <Alathon> (The only Ryo got killed early)
[12:56] <Sheena> (no i fooled up)
[12:56] <Reis> (The one in the other game :P )
[12:56] <Mani> (Ryo?)
[12:57] <Alathon> (Kyo, actually)
[12:57] <Alathon> Anyways.. the teams are all largely doing the same thing.. talking quietly.
[12:57] * Sheena pushs her shades up a bit as she watchs the other group, dark heart standing at her side.
[12:57] <Mani> (*sigh* ... Kyo?)
[12:58] <Alathon> (he was one of Venuses metahuman aides)
[12:58] * Reis flexes her hands nervously.
[12:58] <Mani> (Ah. So, Mars, Venus, & Jupiter are also there with teams?)
[12:58] <Alathon> Yes
[12:59] <Alathon> Mercury will greet you all quickly and with a minimum of fuss.
[12:59] <Alathon> She's the only Senshi in the room with a weapon.
[13:00] <Sheena> (whats she packing?)
[13:00] <Alathon> It's a large, even oversized sci-fi looking monstrosity; what looks to be the business end of it has an aperture a bit over two inches wide
[13:01] * Reis kinda... blinks at that thing.
[13:01] * Sheena wonders if that's what happned to the antimater the boss took from her
[13:02] <Alathon> It does however look businesslike.. no glowy, shiny panels or spinny sparks or anything to give away the user's location
[13:02] <Alathon> And she doesn't seem to have any trouble holding it with one hand.
[13:02] <Reis> (Now now, antimatter weapons with a bore like that are gigaton-range weapons, not to be used in many operations.)
[13:02] <Reis> (If it were antimatter-based, it'd have a really narrow barrel :P )
[13:03] <Alathon> (unless it needs that wide a bore to permit for the passage of whatever field contains the antimatter to its destination
[13:03] <Reis> (That's true, it'd blow if the antimatter burst the moment it left the barrel)
[13:03] <Alathon> Mercury, a little distracted: "Is it safe for me to assume that all powerpacks, armor, weaponry, and other necessary accoutrements are accounted for?"
[13:04] <Sheena> "Yes ma'am"
[13:04] * Reis nods, drawing Swordbreaker.
[13:04] * Sheena takes a moment to slip on a flight mask
[13:05] <Alathon> Mercury: "Excellent. My own preparations are made."
[13:05] * Kuonji nods but runs a final check anyway
[13:06] <Sheena> (how many DR's you have there reis?)
[13:06] <Sheena> (cass there's no way in hell we're trying a combo shot with out one)
[13:06] <Alathon> Mercury: "Does our plan of battle need refreshing?"
[13:07] <Mani> "It never hurts."
[13:08] <Reis> (I've got mine ready, yes ;) )
[13:11] <Alathon> Incidentally, the weapon she has looks a lot like the Link Gun from UT2k4 (http://ut2004.gameamp.com/weapon/viewWeapons)
[13:11] <Alathon> (just without the shiny)
[13:12] <Alathon> Mercury: "We will arrive several miles outside Atlanta propper, in a naturally sheltered area."
[13:13] <Alathon> Mecury: "We will fly up to a height of no less than a thousand feet, and fly over our first target, the United States of Texas embassy to the Confederacy."
[13:13] <Alathon> Mercury looks over at Reis.
[13:13] <Kuonji> (awww, I was hoping she haad a redeemer)
[13:13] <Alathon> Mercury: "You are responsible for moving Mani."
[13:14] * Reis nods. "Understood."
[13:14] <Alathon> Mercury: "Kuonji will be unisoned which ever of Sheena and Reis you three deem the most appropriate for this mission."
[13:14] <Alathon> Mercury: "At the Embassy, Sheena and Reis will destroy it; we will then procede to the nearest Cathedral."
[13:15] <Alathon> Mercury: "There, we will neutralize any UST military or clerical opposition, and destroy their energy collection artifact; the same at the third."
[13:16] <Alathon> As she talks, she's fiddling with a small keypad on the side of her gun.
[13:16] <Alathon> Mercury: "At our fourth target, a UST military recruitment and training facitily, we will destroy the facility and neutralize UST military forces."
[13:17] <Alathon> Mercury: "Throughout the operation, we will remain close, such that I can rapidly evacuate our force should we encounter overwhelming opposition, most likely in the form of their inter-dim mercenary forces."
[13:17] * Reis nods.
[13:18] <Mani> "How far can we get from you?"
[13:18] <Alathon> Mercury: "This operation is designed to be completed within twenty minutes of insertion, so as to minimize the likelihood of such opposition, as well as to minimize the opposition we will face at our targets."
[13:18] <Alathon> Mercury finishes with her gun, and looks up.
[13:18] <Alathon> Mercury looks to each of you.
[13:18] <Alathon> Mercury: "Are there any questions?"
[13:19] <Reis> (There was Mani's one :P )
[13:19] <Sheena> "Good to go here,"
[13:19] * Reis shakes her head. "No ma'am."
[13:21] <Alathon> (missed it)
[13:21] <Alathon> Mercury: "I am not assigning any hard, set time."
[13:21] <Alathon> (er.. distance)
[13:22] <Alathon> Mercury: "For good measure, I recommend no greater distance than what you can cover in the space of a half dozen seconds."
[13:22] * Mani nods.
[13:22] <Alathon> Mercury: "We cannot expect more than a brief window of opportunity for escape before hostiles acquire us as targets and engage."
[13:22] <Sheena> (eh.. how much is that at 5000mph?)
[13:22] <Alathon> Mercury: "At which point, being bunched would be most unfortunate."
[13:22] * Reis nods.
[13:23] <Reis> (And, DCG, it's MILES.)
[13:23] <Alathon> (if you break the sound barrier in front of the party, you'll deafen everyone)
[13:23] <Alathon> (and you'd know this, so keep it subsonic ;p )
[13:23] <Sheena> (ahh right)
[13:23] <Reis> (Well, a mile still works at subsonic paces.)
[13:23] <Alathon> (I mean.. if you're up in the sky and a few hundred feet from everyone, that's one thing.. but going right to the party.. bad mojo ;p )
[13:24] <Alathon> (700 feet, DCG)
[13:24] <Sheena> (yaa mecury wouldnt like that one)
[13:24] <Alathon> Mercury: "One reminder.. I would encourage you all to avoid contact or even close proximity to their energy storage artifacts."
[13:26] * Reis blinks, and nods. "How are we to destroy them?"
[13:26] <Alathon> Mercury: "You are not; I will."
[13:26] <Alathon> Mercury pauses.
[13:26] <Alathon> Mercury looks over at Sheena.
[13:26] <Alathon> Mercury: "A reminder; you are responsible for dispelling any defensive screens these targets have in place."
[13:27] <Sheena> "Roger"
[13:30] <Sheena> (hmm, sheena's a little vader-tan there in the uniform, cloak, and flightmask.)
[13:30] <Reis> (Heh)
[13:31] <Mani> (Mod the flight mask to alter her voice appropriately.)
[13:31] <Alathon> (heh)
[13:31] <Alathon> (anyways)
[13:32] <Alathon> Around now, you'll all notice Queen Serenity and King Endymion arriving together at the door to the telepad chamber.
[13:32] <Alathon> Pretty much everyone else notices too; conversion stutters and comes to a halt, as everyone turns to face them.
[13:32] * Reis blinks and turns immediately, eyes wide.
[13:32] <Alathon> If anyone has been keeping track of time, it's barely a minute until the scheduled departure time.
[13:33] * Sheena is rather suprised by that to.
[13:33] <Sheena> (bad time to be a vadertan!)
[13:33] <Mani> (Endymion: "We want you all to know that you have our trust, gratitude, and best wishes, even though it's likely that all of you won't return." Usagi elbows him. "Er--that *some* of you won't return!")
[13:33] <Alathon> Serenity: "Time is short, so I will be brief."
[13:34] <Alathon> Serenity: "Yours will not be the first blows landed against the UST by us."
[13:35] <Alathon> Serenity: "However, we are confident that the tasks you all underate this day will be telling blows."
[13:35] <Mani> (undertake?)
[13:35] <Alathon> (... yes ;p )
[13:35] <Alathon> (she apparently only had eight scrambled eggs and a slab of bacon this morning and is rather hungry)
[13:36] <Reis> (Heh)
[13:36] <Sheena> (where the hell she get the pig at? Do we even want to know what mutapigs look like?)
[13:36] <Mani> (Her daughter was passing through and grabbed the other half.)
[13:36] <Alathon> (swine are still available)
[13:37] <Alathon> (They're well evolved for rooting through the debris of a fallen civilization)
[13:37] <Mani> (Is rat on most people's menu, too?)
[13:37] <Alathon> Endymion: "Stick tight, stay safe.. keep it professional."
[13:38] <Alathon> Endymion: "Do not allow the pain they have caused many of us to prompt you to vengeance beyond the scope of mission parameters."
[13:38] <Alathon> Endymion: "No matter that there are many outside those parameters who surely 'have it coming'."
[13:39] <Alathon> Serenity: "We wish you all the best.. and will await your return."
[13:39] <Alathon> Mercury: "Hai."
[13:39] <Alathon> Mars: "Hai."
[13:40] <Alathon> Jupiter: "Hai."
[13:40] <Alathon> Venus: "Jawohl!"
[13:40] <Alathon> Serenity briefly loses her stern look, but recaptures it, this time with a hint of a smile.
[13:40] * Reis blinks.
[13:41] <Alathon> Mercury turns back to the team.
[13:41] <Alathon> Mercury: "It's time."
[13:41] * Kuonji smirks
[13:41] <Kuonji> "So, should I change here or over there?"
[13:43] <Sheena> "We have you at a two hour safe zone, mission time is 20 or so at most, may as well?"
[13:43] * Reis nods.
[13:43] <Alathon> Mercury: "That sounds best."
[13:44] <Kuonji> "I should probably Unison with Reis, it's more efficient."
[13:44] * Reis nods. "Whichever you prefer, Sakura-san."
[13:44] * Kuonji will change to his elastic skivies and store his things in hair space
[13:45] * Kuonji takes out a canteen, "So, who wants the honors?"
[13:45] * Reis takes the canteen, and pours when ready.
[13:48] <Alathon> So.. I assume you two unison?
[13:48] <Alathon> You'll succeed, and it'll look pretty much like it did last time.
[13:48] <Alathon> Which gets some attention.
[13:48] <Alathon> Soon after, the teams start vanishing in sprays of shiny particles
[13:48] <Mani> (Everyone looks toward our team and sighs. "They're at it again...")
[13:49] <Alathon> Mercury: "Teleporting in six seconds."
[13:49] * Reis draws in a breath as the unison initiates, stretching slightly. "Roger ma'am."
[13:49] <Alathon> And.. you're all teleporting.
[13:49] <Sheena> (sure the gossip about our team is amusing)
[13:49] <Alathon> And then, you're there.
[13:49] <Alathon> And it'd be pitch black if Reis wasn't glowing.
[13:50] <Alathon> (except of course for those with low-light or heat vision)
[13:50] <Alathon> Mercury looks around briefly.
[13:50] * Reis blinks at that and looks to make sure the glow isn't making them too visible.
[13:50] <Alathon> Oh, it's making you plenty visible.
[13:51] <Sheena> (Can we break in 30 to 40 ish? It's a shrimp and steak dinners today. really dont wana miss that shit)
[13:51] <Reis> (Heh.)
[13:51] * Sheena floats a bit and holds her staff ready
[13:51] <Reis> (And, good to know that ahead of time)
[13:51] <Reis> (Where'd we teleport to? Directly to-target?)
[13:52] <Alathon> (and yeah, we should be able to)
[13:52] <Alathon> (I'll probably want to start something cooking for dinner, and I'm guessing other people will want food too)
[13:52] <Mani> (Mercury: "We will arrive several miles outside Atlanta propper, in a naturally sheltered area.")
[13:52] <Kuonji> (I need a cigarette real bad)
[13:52] <Reis> (Indeed.)
[13:52] <Alathon> No, you're outside Atlanta, in a wooded copse
[13:52] <Kuonji> (haven't had one today)
[13:52] <Reis> (Ah, missed that.)
[13:52] <Alathon> (that's a good thing ;p )
[13:52] <Reis> (Indeed)
[13:53] <Alathon> It's apparently cloudy, as it's pitch friggin black looking up.
[13:53] <Alathon> No moon, no stars, no nothing.
[13:53] <Alathon> And you can't really see the horizon due to trees being in the way
[13:53] <Mani> (Bleh. Forgot about a wine tasting I wanted to go to before the game.)
[13:54] <Sheena> "Good cover"
[13:55] * Reis frowns. "Makes us pretty visible, though..."
[13:55] <Alathon> btw, kuonji & reis, join #CT2
[13:55] * Reis glances down at her glowing-ness. "At least, I am."
[13:55] <Alathon> and remember you have to talk through reis kuonji ;p
[13:56] <Alathon> Mercury: "Indeed. We will procede with haste. Disjoin as soon as we reach our second target."
[13:56] <Alathon> Mercury flies up.
[13:56] <Mani> "Can Sakura still manipulate darkness?"
[13:56] <Alathon> Mercury: "Reis, follow me. Everyone else follow Reis."
[13:57] <Alathon> (he can, but he can only do static areas, not moving fields)
[13:58] <Sheena> (Sheena can do moving fields)
[13:58] * Reis nods. "Understood... Mani, I think I'm supposed to take you?" (Or at least, Mercury just told me that)
[13:58] <Alathon> Mercury will fly up.. high. It's hard to tell how high.
[13:58] <Sheena> (tho she's never 'pumped' it out before)
[13:58] * Mani shifts to cat form and flies to Reis to be carried.
[13:59] <Kuonji> (a flying cat...)
[13:59] <Alathon> (yeah, it really is an abomination that needs to be killed)
[13:59] * Reis carefully holds Mani up against her shoulder, and then flashes up after Mercury.
[13:59] <Mani> (Got to keep the birds from getting smug.)
[13:59] <Alathon> Anything you all want to do along the way, or procede to the target?
[14:00] <Reis> (Uh... what WOULD we do along the way? I'll put up my force field when we're nearby)
[14:00] <Alathon> As you fly over the city, you can see that it's dimly lit.
[14:01] <Alathon> If they have electricity, it isn't being used on a large scale
[14:01] <Alathon> There appear to be street lights in a handful of areas.
[14:01] <Alathon> Mercury at least seems to know where she's going, though.
[14:01] * Reis looks over the city, mapping it out in her head as well as she can.
[14:01] <Sheena> "The ground all ways seems to peacefull from uphere'
[14:02] <Alathon> You honestly can't map shit, other than a handful of lit streets
[14:02] <Alathon> Mercury: "Sheena, do you see it as well?"
[14:02] * Reis frowns. "It's just harder to see everything that's going on from a distance..."
[14:03] <Sheena> "Oh ya"
[14:04] <Alathon> Mercury slows down, and stops, not apparently over anything in particular.
[14:04] * Reis blinks, looking around. (I do have thermal vision active at the moment, so I could technically see it...)
[14:04] <Sheena> "Shesh, they may as well sround the place in flood lights with a set up like that"
[14:04] <Alathon> She then points at a set of structures.. it's vaguely, sorta, kinda, looks like the structures you were assigned to destroy.
[14:04] * Reis blinks. "What is it?"
[14:04] <Alathon> It doesn't seem terribly lit up to anyone else though.
[14:05] <Sheena> "I'll have to flash close, shatter the shield, and flash out"
[14:06] <Mani> "Let me know if you want some space, Reis."
[14:06] <Alathon> Mercury: "Do so."
[14:06] * Reis frowns, nodding. "I should be fine, but could you anyway, Mani?"
[14:07] * Mani drifts away a bit.
[14:07] <Sheena> "Start preping reis"
[14:07] <Sheena> Dark Heart: Grizzly Wing
[14:07] * Sheena is just gone after thats said.
[14:07] * Reis nods, cycling Swordbreaker to the appropriate cartridges.
[14:07] <Mani> (Roar!)
[14:08] <Sheena> (DAMN IT
[14:08] <Sheena> (I fixed that spelling on my sheet, who keeps altering it!)
[14:08] <Kuonji> (lol)
[14:08] <Reis> (Heh)
[14:08] <Alathon> (somehow I doubt it's me)
[14:08] <Sheena> (It's al's falt. Microsofts word is out to get me)
[14:09] * Sheena Stops as the distance needed and takes apart the defences she can see.
[14:09] <Alathon> Go ahead and roll your caster level
[14:10] * Reis braces for the sonic boom when Sheena gets back.
[14:10] <Sheena> (+26 isnt it?)
[14:10] <Alathon> (+20)
[14:10] <Alathon> (no bonus for magical genius)
[14:10] <Sheena> ROll 1d20+20
[14:10] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{27}
[14:10] <Sheena> (what about arcane? heh)
[14:10] <Alathon> (no, it's a straight caster level check)
[14:11] <Sheena> "Ahh fuck"
[14:11] <Sheena> 'Again!"
[14:11] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+20
[14:11] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{38}
[14:12] <Sheena> "More? shit!"
[14:12] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+20
[14:12] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{34}
[14:12] * Sheena keeps her range needed
[14:12] * Reis can, thanks to the wondrous headsets, actually hear this cursing.
[14:12] <Sheena> "Return!"
[14:13] * Sheena flahs out as dark heart kicks it in gear
[14:13] <Sheena> *flashs
[14:13] * Reis braces so she doesn't get bowled over by Sheena's concussion wave when she returns at 6.5.
[14:13] * Sheena spares reis a sonic boom in the face
[14:13] <Alathon> (are you seriously going supersonic?)
[14:14] <Alathon> (okay, good)
[14:14] <Reis> (Good, thank ya :P )
[14:14] * Reis nods. "Ready, Sheena-san?"
[14:14] <Alathon> Mercury: "Be quick about it; I see several mana-imbued individuals moving within."
[14:14] <Sheena> "Ya i woke em up, Full power reis"
[14:15] * Sheena slides in two shells and braces dark heart for the joint attack
[14:15] * Reis nods. "Time to go, Sakura-san. Swordbreaker, Cartridge Load."
[14:15] <Reis> The sword barks 'Jawohl' as it fires three cartridges, ejecting the empty shells, and Reis brings it back.
[14:16] <Alathon> (which three?)
[14:16] <Reis> (Two AoE, one d8 shell)
[14:16] <Alathon> (nod)
[14:16] <Sheena> (two Aoe here)
[14:16] <Alathon> (which attacks you each using?)
[14:16] <Reis> (Furieriss)
[14:16] <Sheena> (buster 8d8)
[14:16] <Reis> (So, one Flurry, two AP, 7d8 plus the d8 shell)
[14:16] <Reis> (What area will that give us?)
[14:17] <Alathon> (no ap)
[14:17] <Kuonji> (factoring in Kuonji's +4d8?)
[14:17] <Reis> (Eh? Sheens has an AP on her attack - I know that one of mine will go to waste though)
[14:17] <Reis> (And, yeah, add in the 4d8.)
[14:17] <Alathon> (there's no innate AP on the buster)
[14:17] <Reis> (Eh?)
[14:18] <Sheena> (No ap for this shot then)
[14:18] <Reis> (Righto)
[14:18] <Reis> (Should add up to a 40d8 once combo-ed)
[14:18] <Sheena> (The ap was swithced out for the combo option)
[14:18] <Alathon> (so, 8 + 7 + 4 == 19 * 2 = 38)
[14:18] <Mani> (Why do you want to use AP when you're trying to trash an unarmored building, anyway?)
[14:18] <Reis> (I have a d8 shell going too, so 8 + 8 + 4)
[14:19] <Reis> (AP makes building destruction easier :P )
[14:19] <Alathon> (the building still has armor, representing the toughness of it's structure)
[14:19] <Reis> (What's the area of effect?)
[14:19] <Sheena> (40x5 x2 x2 x2 x2)
[14:19] <Alathon> (furieriss does 6d8 base)
[14:19] <Reis> (7d8, I levelled it a while ago, remember?)
[14:19] <Mani> (Strange. I would have thought it'd all be just hp when you're attacking the building itself.)
[14:19] <Reis> (I KNOW I got the sheet into you before last week)
[14:20] <Kuonji> (and once again, don't forget that I can boost each attack 4d8)
[14:20] <Alathon> sigh
[14:20] <Alathon> (you can only boost reis's)
[14:20] <Alathon> (and yeah, I was looking at the wrong sheet, it's 40d8.. fuckint too many updates)
[14:21] <Reis> (Sorry ^^; )
[14:21] <Alathon> (so, whoever has a lower to-hit roll the attack)
[14:21] <Reis> (That's Sheena I believe)
[14:21] <Kuonji> (I was referrring to Reis attacks... didn't she make a couple?)
[14:21] <Alathon> (it's a big friggin building, even at night, so you just need to not botch)
[14:21] <Reis> (What area of effect can we do? Enough to blow down the whole building in one go, or should we make multiple shots?)
[14:21] <Alathon> (she's casting one furieriss spell.. that's a spec attack with one rank of flurry.. you only need to pay once to enhance the entire thing)
[14:22] <Reis> (Yuppers, so only a few EP to do the boom.)
[14:22] <Alathon> (this is a combo attack, with 2x AoE)
[14:22] <Sheena> (so 40x5 x2 x2)
[14:22] <Alathon> (hm?)
[14:22] <Sheena> (... thats fucking huge)
[14:23] <Sheena> (aoe is 5 feet a d8 x2 a rank of aoe)
[14:23] <Alathon> (each additional one doubles it ;p )
[14:23] <Sheena> (right)
[14:23] <Alathon> (and the AE isn't being doubled by the spec attack, just like AP isn't, etc)
[14:23] <Alathon> (so it's 20 * 5 * 2 = 200 ft radius)
[14:23] <Alathon> (which is a bit big.. but hey, shit happens)
[14:23] <Alathon> (shouldn't live next to texans)
[14:24] <Reis> (Roger, that'll get the entire facility?)
[14:24] <Sheena> (ahh ok)
[14:24] <Alathon> (keep in mind the campus is rectangular, with radii of 100-150 feet or so)
[14:24] <Alathon> so, in short
[14:24] <Reis> (If it's too large, we can dial down the AoE a bit)
[14:24] <Alathon> yes you can blow it all up
[14:24] <Kuonji> (you know what the best part of having the death penalty in texas is?)
[14:24] <Mani> (Reis gets put back on area effect probation again. :) )
[14:24] <Sheena> (Sheena's roll is +27)
[14:24] <Alathon> if you dial it down to half that, you'll need to make multiple attacks to get it all
[14:24] <Kuonji> (less texans)
[14:24] <Reis> (+29)
[14:24] <Alathon> sheena, rollit
[14:24] <Sheena> (ok here goes..)
[14:25] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+27
[14:25] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{34}
[14:25] <Reis> (And, only full ranks? Can't dial it down by feet instead? Gotcha)
[14:25] <Alathon> Alright.
[14:25] <Sheena> (gah close)
[14:25] <Alathon> (no)
[14:25] <Alathon> anyways
[14:25] <Alathon> Here's what happens
[14:25] <Sheena> (that much power in sheena's hands? its all going :P)
[14:25] <Alathon> (gonna do the flurry or not?)
[14:25] <Mani> (Right before it hits, another reflective shield pops up.)
[14:25] <Alathon> (also, don't forget the 4 ep cost per for comboing)
[14:25] <Kuonji> (is there a mushroom cloud of magic?)
[14:26] <Sheena> (FLurry? Sure why not)
[14:26] <Reis> (Uh... would wait a second to confirm the destruction, first. Reis would fire a second one if it didn't look owned enough)
[14:26] <Alathon> (you'd have to pay the ep again though)
[14:26] <Sheena> (cant do that)
[14:26] <Alathon> (but you can do another combo after this one if you want to)
[14:26] <Alathon> (you can't hold a flurry off to see if you want to use it orn ot)
[14:26] <Reis> (All righty, just blow it all to hell then. Whee!)
[14:27] <Sheena> (we're nuking alanta)
[14:27] <Sheena> (may as well do it right(
[14:27] <Alathon> Sheena points Dark Heart, which glows an angry sort of magenta, and launches two beams of darkness; Reis aims Swordbreaker and launches two bright silver-white crackling electric streams; each fuse with the other in a corkscrewing swirl and head straight down..
[14:28] <Alathon> (roll the flurry)
[14:28] <Reis> (The damage?)
[14:28] <Sheena> ROll 1d20+27
[14:28] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{44}
[14:28] <Sheena> (woot)
[14:28] <Alathon> One mixed beam hits a fraction of a second after the other
[14:28] <Alathon> (roll two damages, 40d8 each)
[14:28] <Reis> roll 2#40d8
[14:28] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 2#40d8 --> [ 40d8=188 ]{188}, [ 40d8=176 ]{176}
[14:28] <Alathon> okay
[14:28] <Alathon> fort save, DC 14, everyone
[14:29] <Reis> (Oh dear.)
[14:29] <Alathon> roll 1d20+8 Yuuno
[14:29] <Kuonji> (even me?)
[14:29] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+8 Yuuno --> [ 1d20=16 ]{24}
[14:29] <Alathon> (actually, sheena doesn't)
[14:29] <Reis> roll 1d20+9
[14:29] <Alathon> (since she's got shades)
[14:29] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{12}
[14:29] <Alathon> (and neither does kuonji)
[14:29] <Reis> DR.
[14:29] * Sheena shudders at the power being shot out
[14:29] <Mani> roll 1d20+12
[14:29] <Reis> roll 1d20+9
[14:29] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{24}
[14:29] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{17}
[14:29] <Sheena> (shades... oh shit, LOL)
[14:29] <Alathon> There's a terrible, blue-white flash when they hit ground.. for a moment everyone sees stars, but it fades.
[14:30] <Alathon> After the thunderous cracks of the detinations.. you now hear a whole lot of smaller clatter.
[14:30] <Alathon> off to the sides, where all the rubble is landing.
[14:30] * Reis looks to confirm the damage, bringing Swordbreaker back just in case.
[14:30] <Alathon> The compound is completely cratered.
[14:31] <Alathon> There's fuck all left... and while the actual blast crater only spread a bit beyond the compound, buildings for probably a mile in every direction have sustained damage from the debris.
[14:31] <Alathon> Mercury: "Excellent."
[14:31] <Alathon> Mercury: "Primary objective completed; let's procede to the first secondary objective."
[14:31] <Sheena> Dark Heart: Target Obliterated
[14:31] * Reis grabs Mani.
[14:32] <Sheena> "Woo hoo!"
[14:32] <Mani> "A polite 'Come here' would have sufficed."
[14:32] * Sheena huges dark heart and flys back close to reis and merc"
[14:32] <Reis> "... Sorry, Mani."
[14:32] <Alathon> Mercury quickly flies off.. it's a little hard to follow her with your night vision fucked, but I'll assume you can manage it.
[14:32] <Alathon> Since Reis has heat vision, and everyone else can follow reis's glowyness.
[14:33] * Reis follows rapidly.
[14:33] * Sheena keeps pace easy enought
[14:33] * Sheena still hugging dark heart and giggling quite madly to herself
[14:33] <Alathon> Mercury will lead you all down to one of the few lit streets.
[14:33] <Alathon> It's very dimly lit, but lit nonetheless.
[14:34] <Alathon> There's a reception waiting outside the Cathedral.
[14:34] <Alathon> And.. let's break here.
[14:34] <Reis> (Heh, righto.)
[14:34] <Reis> (... Is it a reception for us, or...?)
[14:34] <Alathon> (for you)
[14:34] <Alathon> DCG, how long you think you need.. 25 minutes goo?
[14:34] <Reis> (Whee!)
[14:35] <Sheena> (i got called with an "all most ready" so i can leave now)
[14:35] <Sheena> (25 sounds grand)
[14:35] <Alathon> (Alright, lets pick up on the hour)
[14:35] <Mani> (Hostile reception, I assume?)
[14:36] <Alathon> (it's the UST, what do you expect?)
[14:36] <Kuonji> (neeed food and smokes)
[14:36] <Alathon> (southern hospitality was so last millenium)
[14:36] <Alathon> well, get it now
[14:36] <Mani> (Ok, well, assuming Mercury didn't lead the group in at high speed, Mani would pretend to be a human again before landing.)
[14:36] <Kuonji> (why not just do another combo attack and plow right the fuck through them?)
[14:36] <Mani> (Since she has little desire to start any fights as a cat.)
[14:37] <Kuonji> (I just had a funny thought, since mani can fly)
[14:38] <Kuonji> (what if she's adopted? as in, she's not really a moon cat.)
[14:38] <Kuonji> (ever play Lunar? Mani needs a breath weapon)
[14:39] <Mani> (I haven't played it, but I wouldn't turn down a free destructive breath weapon.)
[14:44] <Reis> (Heh. Mani's related to Ruby and Nall?)
[14:45] <Reis> (And, combo attack probably wouldn't be that good an idea, it'd destroy the church too and make us dig our way through)
[14:51] <Kuonji> (yeah... mani gets a dragon form... heh)
[14:51] <Kuonji> (also, PLAY LUNAR AND LUNAR 2)
[14:51] <Kuonji> (emulate it, steal a console, doesn't matter, just get them)
[14:51] <Mani> (I'm going to be busy. SSBB comes out next week.)
[14:51] <Reis> (Played Lunar 2, have played some of Lunar, just not finished it :P )
[15:00] <Reis> (Yo)
[15:01] <Alathon> alright
[15:01] <Alathon> we all here?
[15:01] <Reis> (I am)
[15:01] <Mani> (I and my cat are.)
[15:02] <Reis> (My cat was, but just left :P )
[15:04] <Kuonji> (my roommate and I are here, though he has no clue what I'm doing)
[15:04] <Reis> (Have you dealt with his buddy?)
[15:04] <Kuonji> (we're about to make some seven seven)
[15:04] <Kuonji> (he's not here ^_^)
[15:04] <Reis> (I meant told him, 'Don't come around on Saturdays, I've got a thing' :P )
[15:04] <Reis> (Though him not coming on his own is handy too)
[15:06] <Sheena> back
[15:06] <Alathon> Alright
[15:06] <Alathon> we pick upw here we left off
[15:06] <Kuonji> (I've never had a seven seven before)
[15:06] <Sheena> (sorry about the 5min, stoped to feed the dog on the way in)
[15:06] <Alathon> Everyone has hit ground.. and there's a dozen or so UST troopers out front of the church looking rather hostile.. and a bit afraid.
[15:07] <Alathon> Reis and Kuonji are still unisoned
[15:07] <Alathon> and, init
[15:07] <Mani> (Mm, which form am I in?)
[15:07] * Sheena lets the darkness gather tighter around her
[15:07] <Alathon> (human)
[15:07] <Mani> roll 1d20+9
[15:07] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{26}
[15:07] <Reis> roll 1d20+9
[15:07] <Alathon> roll 1d20+2 soldiers #1
[15:07] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{25}
[15:07] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+2 soldiers #1 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{16}
[15:08] <Alathon> roll 1d20+2 soldiers #2
[15:08] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+2 soldiers #2 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{6}
[15:08] <Alathon> roll 1d20+5 Yuuno
[15:08] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+5 Yuuno --> [ 1d20=6 ]{11}
[15:08] <Alathon> roll 1d20+13 Sailor Mercury
[15:08] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+13 Sailor Mercury --> [ 1d20=6 ]{19}
[15:08] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+2 woot!
[15:08] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+2 woot! --> [ 1d20=4 ]{6}
[15:08] <Kuonji> (do I need to roll while Unisoned?)
[15:08] <Sheena> (:( )
[15:09] <Alathon> (yes)
[15:09] <Alathon> (because you can shoot lightning bolts)
[15:10] <Alathon> (and to boost an attack you need to use your turn.. so that could mean either you delaying to reis's turn, or reis delaying to your turn)
[15:11] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+14
[15:11] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{25}
[15:11] <Reis> (Hah!)
[15:11] <Reis> (No delay after all)
[15:11] <Kuonji> (lol)
[15:12] <Alathon> Alright.. fight order is Mani, Kuonji, Reis, Mercury, Soldiers #1, Yuuno, Sheena, Soldiers #2
[15:12] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[15:12] <Alathon> They've got rifles, and are aiming 'em at the lot of you
[15:13] <Alathon> you're a couple dozen feet away
[15:13] <Sheena> (some one got slower then me?)
[15:13] <Alathon> (yeah.. same roll, same init mod, same dex.. so gave the tiebreaker to you since you're coming outta the sky ;p )
[15:13] <Mani> (Possible to engage one/some of them in melee without blocking teammates' shots?)
[15:14] <Alathon> there's one short line up in front of the door to the cathedral, the other is a bit closer
[15:14] <Alathon> so yeah you'd sorta be in the way, unless you picked one off the edge of one of the lines
[15:15] * Mani goes for one at the edge (unless someone tells her to wait for an area attack to go off).
[15:16] <Mani> (Ok, then. Single set of attacks, I assume.)
[15:16] <Reis> "Mani, give me a moment to saturate the area."
[15:16] <Mani> "Sure thing."
[15:16] <Alathon> kuonji/reis are up
[15:16] * Sheena waves bye bye to the shoilders
[15:17] * Mani prepares to go right after Reis's attack ... if there's anything left.
[15:20] <Sheena> (ping?)
[15:20] <Mani> (I'm here.)
[15:20] <Sheena> (Some ones sapping our reis)
[15:20] <Kuonji> (sorry, we're working on it :P)
[15:21] <Mani> (Hm. All of us but Ataru are on the same server.)
[15:21] <Alathon> (no, reis is just trying to be cute and kill them all in one go)
[15:21] * Reis swings Swordbreaker out to the side, which blows one cartridge. A silver triangle of runes appears underneath her, swirling. "Adlern Richter." The ribbons lance out from her clothing, insanely fast and in erratic, swirling flight patterns, ripping up the line near the cathedral.
[15:21] <Reis> roll 1d20+29+12
[15:21] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+29+12 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{45}
[15:21] <Alathon> roll 6#1d20+10
[15:21] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 6#1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{27}, [ 1d20=10 ]{20}, [ 1d20=14 ]{24}, [ 1d20=7 ]{17}, [ 1d20=18 ]{28}, [ 1d20=15 ]{25}
[15:21] <Alathon> all hit
[15:22] <Reis> (Aiming for their heads, btw - gimme a sec to calculate the damage)
[15:22] <Kuonji> (you're supposed to mention that BEFORE the attack dude :P)
[15:22] <Sheena> (i dont think it maters)
[15:22] <Alathon> (okay seriously.. we'll talk about this after game, but there will not be any more 'aiming for heads' with spreading, AE, or autofire attacks)
[15:22] <Alathon> (for now, it's cool)
[15:23] <Reis> (Right, all righty)
[15:23] <Reis> (How many hits? Four and five and four and five and three and four?)
[15:23] <Alathon> sure
[15:23] <Reis> roll 4#4d10
[15:23] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 4#4d10 --> [ 4d10=24 ]{24}, [ 4d10=15 ]{15}, [ 4d10=24 ]{24}, [ 4d10=22 ]{22}
[15:23] <Reis> roll 5#4d10
[15:23] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 5#4d10 --> [ 4d10=15 ]{15}, [ 4d10=17 ]{17}, [ 4d10=16 ]{16}, [ 4d10=24 ]{24}, [ 4d10=29 ]{29}

[15:23] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 4#4d10 --> [ 4d10=23 ]{23}, [ 4d10=24 ]{24}, [ 4d10=24 ]{24}, [ 4d10=24 ]{24}
[15:23] <Alathon> you only really need 2 per guy to put them down, they're all now dead as doornails.
[15:23] <Reis> (... That oughta do it.)
[15:24] <Mani> "Well, now that your outfit is fed..."
[15:24] * Mani energizes her swords.
[15:24] <Alathon> Mercury steps forward a bit, raises her rifle, and fires a thin beam of blue-white energy, playing it across the second line.
[15:25] <Mani> (Oh, I missed that she only took out one of the lines.)
[15:25] <Alathon> roll 1d20+42
[15:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+42 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{61}
[15:25] <Alathon> roll 6#1d20+10
[15:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 6#1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{21}, [ 1d20=16 ]{26}, [ 1d20=7 ]{17}, [ 1d20=9 ]{19}, [ 1d20=14 ]{24}, [ 1d20=3 ]{13}
[15:25] <Sheena> (O_O)
[15:26] <Alathon> roll 8d8
[15:26] <Reis> (Well, she IS a Senshi. Now we know what to aim for)
[15:26] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 8d8 --> [ 8d8=41 ]{41}
[15:26] <Alathon> Wounds or kills em all, and leaves a scorch mark across the front of the church.
[15:26] <Alathon> She walks forward quickly towards the doors, but doesn't reach them.
[15:27] <Alathon> Yuuno follows her, then casts a spell that judging by appearances, created a forcefield around her.
[15:27] <Alathon> (around Yuuno)
[15:27] <Alathon> Sheena, you'reup
[15:27] <Alathon> We're still in combat time
[15:28] <Alathon> (er.. by wo unds or kills.. I mean knocks unconscious or kills outright)
[15:28] <Alathon> (all visible hostiles are down)
[15:29] * Mani advances with Mercury & Yuuno. (I suppose I'll have to wait until next round to charge the other sword?)
[15:29] * Sheena flys along putting up her shield
[15:29] <Sheena> Dark heart: Protection
[15:29] * Mani activates her uniform's armor.
[15:29] <Alathon> (yeah)
[15:30] <Alathon> (btw, you using created swords? or did you give your heavy ones to kuonji to carry, or what?)
[15:30] <Alathon> Alright
[15:30] <Mani> (The heavy ones. I assumed they vanished like all my other worn equipment when I shifted.)
[15:30] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order
[15:30] * Reis follows the advancing group.
[15:31] <Alathon> (er, given that there's no CP paid for that, I'd always assumed it was strictly a 'clothes' thing)
[15:31] <Alathon> (for now, assume you have your heavy blades)
[15:31] <Alathon> (something else to discuss post game)
[15:31] <Mani> (As I've never been standing in a pile of gear, it really hasn't been.)
[15:32] <Alathon> (when have you ever carried a pile of gear in the entire game?)
[15:32] <Alathon> (the closest you've ever come was backpacks
[15:32] <Alathon> (and you never changed during the arc where you wore those)
[15:32] <Mani> (Yep. Plus weapons, comm, and anything else worn on belts and such.)
[15:32] <Mani> (When I travelled with Usagi to that other town that got destroyed.)
[15:33] * Mani looks for any trouble approaching and charges her other sword.
[15:33] * Mani otherwise continues advancing.
[15:34] <Alathon> There are a handful of people opening doors.. presumably to find out what the huge bang was a minute ago.
[15:34] <Alathon> Mercury: "I will breach the doors; everyone else, prepare to enter."
[15:34] <Alathon> Reis/Kuonji you're up
[15:34] * Reis nods and readies her sword. Hold action.
[15:35] <Alathon> (you're not gonna disjoin?)
[15:35] <Kuonji> (hold as well)
[15:35] <Alathon> (okay)
[15:35] <Reis> (Kuonji wants to wait until we're less exposed so he can get his stuff in gear off combat time)
[15:35] <Alathon> Yuuno moves up the steps, and moves over a few feet to the side of the door.
[15:35] <Alathon> Sheena is up.
[15:36] * Sheena flanks yuuno across from yuuno
[15:36] <Reis> (Wow, cool technique that.)
[15:37] <Sheena> (need we remind reis that she's current covered head to toe in ribbios of gore?)
[15:37] <Reis> (Heh.)
[15:37] <Reis> (Now now, just the outer layer of clothing is gorey :P )
[15:37] <Alathon> With everyone ready, Mercury toggles something on her gun and fires at the door.
[15:38] <Mani> (Give her some slack. If she doesn't feed that outfit regularly, it will eat her.)
[15:38] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+42
[15:38] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+42 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{53}, [ 1d20=2 ]{44}
[15:38] <Alathon> roll 1d20+37
[15:38] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+37 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{56}
[15:38] <Alathon> Fortunately, she doesn't fuck up and hit you guys.
[15:38] <Alathon> The bright blue-white balls of something or other hit the doors
[15:38] <Alathon> roll 3#8d8
[15:38] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#8d8 --> [ 8d8=46 ]{46}, [ 8d8=37 ]{37}, [ 8d8=37 ]{37}
[15:38] <Reis> (Though she comes close...)
[15:39] <Alathon> The first one punches through the door on the left, knocking it open; the second two splinter most of the door on the right, largely leaving that side open.
[15:40] <Alathon> Mani and Reis can see in; PM'd
[15:40] <Alathon> any further actions this round?
[15:40] <Mani> "Welcoming party."
[15:42] * Sheena is grining, and oddly enought dark heart seems to be to as there close enought to enjoy the blast, but not get pwnt by it
[15:42] <Sheena> (we get a move?)
[15:42] <Mani> (Entering will be next round, yes?)
[15:42] <Reis> (Or does everyone have an action ready? I think Yuuno, Sheena, and Reis all have actions still)
[15:42] <Alathon> if you haven't moved you can move now
[15:43] <Mani> (I acted already.)
[15:43] * Sheena steps into view of the new hole dark heart at the ready
[15:43] <Reis> "All right, breaching, don't hit me."
[15:43] * Reis will let Sheena fire her buster first if she wants to though :P
[15:43] <Sheena> (duno, whats it look like?)
[15:44] <Mani> (I suppose if I can advance to draw fire, I will, though.)
[15:44] <Sheena> (ya thats reason to fire)
[15:44] <Sheena> "Say hello dark heart"
[15:45] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+27 Obsidian Buster along her side
[15:45] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 Obsidian Buster along her side --> [ 1d20=11 ]{38}
[15:45] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+22
[15:45] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+22 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{25}
[15:45] <Sheena> (gah)
[15:46] <Alathon> alright
[15:46] <Alathon> roll 7#1d20+10+4
[15:46] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 7#1d20+10+4 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{17}, [ 1d20=9 ]{23}, [ 1d20=9 ]{23}, [ 1d20=11 ]{25}, [ 1d20=10 ]{24}, [ 1d20=15 ]{29}, [ 1d20=15 ]{29}
[15:46] <Alathon> roll 7#1d20+10+4
[15:46] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 7#1d20+10+4 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{27}, [ 1d20=17 ]{31}, [ 1d20=6 ]{20}, [ 1d20=2 ]{16}, [ 1d20=7 ]{21}, [ 1d20=11 ]{25}, [ 1d20=19 ]{33}
[15:47] <Alathon> A handful manage to evade the second wave of darkness, but the first one hits all
[15:47] <Alathon> roll your damages
[15:47] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled your damages --> error: malformed expression
[15:47] <Sheena> Roll 7#8d8
[15:47] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 7#8d8 --> [ 8d8=36 ]{36}, [ 8d8=39 ]{39}, [ 8d8=37 ]{37}, [ 8d8=31 ]{31}, [ 8d8=39 ]{39}, [ 8d8=50 ]{50}, [ 8d8=34 ]{34}
[15:47] <Alathon> And at this point, the doorway is open All The Way
[15:47] <Reis> (Do we get a better view in now?)
[15:47] <Alathon> (you don't need to roll them seperately
[15:47] <Sheena> ROll 8d8+4
[15:47] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 8d8+4 --> [ 8d8=41 ]{45}
[15:47] <Sheena> (ok)
[15:48] <Alathon> You can see that Sheena's attack tore out a nice chunk of right-center pews, and judging by bodies here and there, scored some kills
[15:48] <Alathon> Reis?
[15:48] * Reis braces her sword in both hands, and the blade starts oscillating rapidly, triangle swirling out beneath her. She vanishes. (Teleporting in and behind the guy in white, slashing for his neck, boosted by Kuonji)
[15:49] <Alathon> At this point, damn near anyone with an ounce of self-preservation is taking cover
[15:49] <Reis> (That works?)
[15:49] <Alathon> no, it fails pretty miserably
[15:49] <Alathon> you teleport your ass right into the cross
[15:50] <Reis> (Eh? He's right in front of that?)
[15:50] <Reis> (Wouldn't I have noticed it?)
[15:50] <Alathon> I told you exactly what you saw
[15:50] <Alathon> you got A GLIMPSE of some white armor
[15:50] <Alathon> you chose to gamble and go right behind it
[15:50] <Reis> (Gotcha)
[15:51] <Kuonji> (thanks reis)
[15:51] <Mani> (Psst. Teleporting based on a glimpse may not be a great tactic in the future.)
[15:51] <Alathon> okay.. reflex save, DC 20
[15:51] <Reis> (Well... I thought I had at least a reasonable idea of where he was, but, all righty)
[15:51] <Reis> roll 1d20+11
[15:51] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{23}
[15:51] <Alathon> good
[15:51] <Alathon> roll 10d8
[15:51] <Sheena> (lucky)
[15:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 10d8 --> [ 10d8=51 ]{51}
[15:51] <Alathon> you take half that
[15:52] <Reis> (25, doesn't even register.)
[15:52] <Alathon> As you realize you've come in contact with something hard and dark.. it isn't dark anymore. it lights up.
[15:52] <Alathon> roll 10d8
[15:52] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 10d8 --> [ 10d8=40 ]{40}
[15:52] * Reis winces. "Gah!"
[15:52] <Alathon> you also lose half that in EP before you get the fuck away from it
[15:52] <Reis> (Ouchies. Gotcha)
[15:52] <Alathon> Kuonji, you also lose 20 ep
[15:52] <Kuonji> ...
[15:53] <Alathon> anyways.. hm
[15:53] <Kuonji> (does that kill me? or am I just unconcious?)
[15:53] <Alathon> (huh?)
[15:53] <Alathon> (you have more than 20 ep)
[15:53] <Kuonji> (oh wait, I have a couple left)
[15:53] <Reis> (... Eh? You've only spent like 4 so far.)
[15:53] <Alathon> (you have like 50some in unison form)
[15:53] <Kuonji> (8)
[15:53] <Kuonji> (I do?)
[15:53] <Reis> (Gotcha)
[15:53] <Kuonji> (I thought I had 36)
[15:54] <Alathon> (56, there's a rank of extra energy)
[15:54] <Kuonji> ah
[15:54] <Alathon> and.. okay
[15:54] <Alathon> reis, concentration check to manage to cast that spell despite getting burnt and drained
[15:55] <Reis> roll 1d20+24
[15:55] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+24 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{38}
[15:55] <Alathon> you easily make it
[15:55] <Alathon> go ahead and roll the to-hit
[15:55] <Reis> roll 1d20+30
[15:55] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{35}
[15:56] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30 flatfooted
[15:56] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 flatfooted --> [ 1d20=12 ]{42}
[15:56] <Alathon> Alerted by the cross lighting up, the armored figure manages to evade the attack.
[15:56] <Alathon> (btw.. you had a forcefield up for the flames, right? so that's down, but 0 damage?)
[15:56] <Reis> (Ah, yes, I did.)
[15:57] <Alathon> alright
[15:57] <Reis> (Would've taken about 5 damage if it wasn't up though)
[15:57] <Alathon> Mani, anything else?
[15:58] <Mani> (Well, I energized my 2nd sword as an action, so unless someone's close enough for me to stab with my extra attack, I don't think I have anything left.)
[15:58] * Reis mutters into the headset. "Found the cross, stay away from where I went in."
[15:58] <Alathon> (nod)
[15:58] <Alathon> Alright then
[15:58] <Alathon> Yuuno peeks in the now much-closer-to-him entrance, and casts a spell, pointing her staff in.
[15:58] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Shoot!"
[15:59] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[15:59] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{37}
[15:59] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25
[15:59] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{28}
[15:59] <Alathon> roll 1d20+20
[15:59] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{32}
[15:59] <Alathon> roll 1d20+10
[15:59] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{20}
[15:59] <Alathon> roll 1d20+8+4
[15:59] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+8+4 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{16}
[15:59] <Alathon> roll 1d20+6+4
[15:59] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+6+4 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{26}
[15:59] <Alathon> He manages to peg one of the soldiers taking cover behind a pew with three globes of greenish energy.
[16:00] <Alathon> roll 3#5d8+10
[16:00] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#5d8+10 --> [ 5d8=21 ]{31}, [ 5d8=22 ]{32}, [ 5d8=22 ]{32}
[16:00] <Alathon> The solder goes down.
[16:00] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order
[16:00] <Alathon> Mani is up
[16:00] <Alathon> wait
[16:00] <Alathon> roll 1d20+2 soldiers
[16:00] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+2 soldiers --> [ 1d20=20 ]{22}
[16:00] <Alathon> ...
[16:00] <Alathon> you're shitting me
[16:00] <Reis> (... Wow.)
[16:00] <Reis> (Well, at least they don't crit on anything valuable.)
[16:00] <Alathon> oh, like this will do them any good
[16:00] <Alathon> roll 1d20+9 ??? #1
[16:00] <Kuonji> (pew pew pew_
[16:00] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+9 ??? #1 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{18}
[16:01] <Alathon> roll 1d20+5 ??? #2
[16:01] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+5 ??? #2 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{13}
[16:01] <Alathon> Alright
[16:02] <Alathon> new fight order: Soldiers, Mani, Kuonji, Reis, Mercury, #1, #2, Yuuno, Sheena
[16:03] <Sheena> (oh joy, and sheena's in the doorway)
[16:03] <Reis> (And Reis is in the CHURCH.)
[16:03] <Alathon> Something like two-dozen heads pop up
[16:03] <Reis> (One of us is gonna get shot at :P )
[16:03] <Alathon> All of them are apparently attached via torso to rifles.
[16:03] <Reis> (Arms in there?)
[16:03] <Alathon> roughly half open fire on reis, and the other half open fire on sheena
[16:03] <Alathon> yup, arms too
[16:04] <Mani> (Do I draw any fire?)
[16:04] <Reis> (Was wondering if we were up against cyborgs or something for a moment.)
[16:04] <Alathon> nope, you're presumably a bit back from sheena since she was shooting energy blasts forward
[16:04] <Alathon> and sheena's a great target, really
[16:04] <Alathon> have you seen that outfit? If I saw that shit, you better believe I'd go for the headshot
[16:04] <Alathon> anyways
[16:04] <Alathon> roll 12#1d20+9 at reis
[16:04] <Kuonji> (wow)
[16:04] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 12#1d20+9 at reis --> [ 1d20=20 ]{29}, [ 1d20=11 ]{20}, [ 1d20=2 ]{11}, [ 1d20=20 ]{29}, [ 1d20=3 ]{12}, [ 1d20=1 ]{10}, [ 1d20=8 ]{17}, [ 1d20=7 ]{16}, [ 1d20=5 ]{14}, [ 1d20=9 ]{18}, [ 1d20=3 ]{12}, [ 1d20=6 ]{15}
[16:05] * Rockman_Zero (~Zero@203-59-214-145.dyn.iinet.net.au) has joined #crystaltokyo
[16:05] <Alathon> (two are perfectly aimed)
[16:05] <Alathon> (dodge 10)
[16:05] <Kuonji> (seven sevens are good)
[16:05] <Alathon> (er, dodge nine.. one shot another dude in front of him)

[16:06] <Alathon> yup, you dodge 'em all
[16:06] <Alathon> roll 2#2d8+2
[16:06] * Reis whirls with her sword, deflecting the bullets off into the sides.
[16:06] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#2d8+2 --> [ 2d8=12 ]{14}, [ 2d8=14 ]{16}
[16:06] <Alathon> except for those two shots
[16:06] * Reis blinks and doesn't actually notice the ones that hit.
[16:06] <Alathon> roll 12#1d20+9 at Sheena
[16:06] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 12#1d20+9 at Sheena --> [ 1d20=4 ]{13}, [ 1d20=6 ]{15}, [ 1d20=6 ]{15}, [ 1d20=12 ]{21}, [ 1d20=5 ]{14}, [ 1d20=8 ]{17}, [ 1d20=10 ]{19}, [ 1d20=11 ]{20}, [ 1d20=7 ]{16}, [ 1d20=13 ]{22}, [ 1d20=1 ]{10}, [ 1d20=8 ]{17}
[16:06] <Alathon> (no crits, one botch.. dodge 11)
[16:08] <Sheena> (ouch..)
[16:08] <Sheena> "Oh shi-"
[16:08] <Mani> (Unless you've totally ignored your ranged defense, it shouldn't be too bad.)
[16:08] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+27
[16:08] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{32}

[16:10] <Alathon> not even one rank
[16:10] <Sheena> "Who do you little shits think your shooting at!"
[16:10] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[16:10] <Sheena> (FP)
[16:10] <Alathon> You can go around Sheena easily enough if you wanna get into melee with the soldiers
[16:11] <Alathon> the door is nicely widened
[16:11] <Mani> (Is there a clear path to the guy in armor--assuming it isn't just an empty suit of armor?)
[16:11] <Alathon> There's some debris you'd have to climb over, but with speed you oughta be able to make it
[16:11] <Reis> (Well, given that even flatfooted he dodged at +30, I _think_ it might be a real guy.)
[16:12] <Mani> (It's just very aerodynamic armor.)
[16:12] <Alathon> (It's a Mobile Doll)
[16:12] * Mani goes for him.
[16:12] <Mani> (1 set of attacks?)
[16:12] <Alathon> He's pretty close to the now flaming cross, with reis between it and him.
[16:12] <Alathon> Yes

[16:15] <Reis> (PM question, Ala)
[16:17] <Alathon> Your cuts injure him, but not enough to slow him down yet.
[16:17] <Alathon> Kuonji/Reis you're up
[16:18] * Reis starts her sword vibrating again, and makes a sincere effort to slow him down.
[16:18] <Reis> roll 1d20+30

[16:19] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+24+2 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{43}
[16:20] <Reis> (Gah, going for the neck head area, and WOW, what astounding luck.)
[16:20] <Reis> (He JUST dodged each of them.)
[16:20] <Alathon> He manages to block all three attacks with a heavy shield, deflecting your attacks aside.
[16:20] <Reis> (Four attacks, though that one probably won't hit either :P )
[16:20] <Alathon> roll 1d20+22+2
[16:20] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+22+2 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{30}
[16:20] <Alathon> blocks that one two, sliding it off.
[16:21] * Alathon changes topic to 'Soldiers, Mani, Kuonji, Reis, Mercury, #1, #2, Yuuno, Sheena'
[16:21] <Alathon> Mercury hesitates for a moment, aiming her gun at the melee around the white-armored figure, before deciding against firing into it.. and raking a beam of blue-white energy across some of the soldiers
[16:22] <Alathon> roll 1d20+42
[16:22] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+42 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{53}
[16:22] <Alathon> She gets.. let's see
[16:22] <Alathon> roll 2d6
[16:22] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2d6 --> [ 2d6=10 ]{10}

[16:22] <Reis> (Well... there are some soldiers left for Yuuno to kill at least)
[16:22] <Alathon> None ofem are lucky enough to get away
[16:22] <Alathon> roll 8d8
[16:22] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 8d8 --> [ 8d8=44 ]{44}
[16:22] <Alathon> And various important body parts are sheared away.
[16:23] <Kuonji> (can
[16:23] <Alathon> Can you waht?
[16:24] <Kuonji> (can I unison with yuuno? might be something to check out later)
[16:24] * Reis frowns.
[16:24] <Alathon> (you tested it last game I think)
[16:24] <Alathon> (it worked, but same limitation as with sheena.. -1 dice because he practices midchildan magic rather than velkan)
[16:24] <Reis> (Yuuno wanted to, but forgot)
[16:24] <Alathon> (oh, nm)
[16:24] <Alathon> (well.. heh.. you know what'll happen now)
[16:24] <Reis> (Got too busy with the device)
[16:27] <Alathon> anyways
[16:27] <Alathon> The Evangelical that Reis and Mani have been fighting turns all the way to face Reis, raising his voice in an invocation... his right hand glows with crackling black lightning, and he reaches out for Reis.
[16:28] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30 harm
[16:28] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 harm --> [ 1d20=7 ]{37}
[16:28] <Sheena> (ouchy)
[16:28] <Reis> roll 1d20+5 NOT harm.
[16:28] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+5 NOT harm. --> [ 1d20=13 ]{18}
[16:28] <Reis> (Ah, +15)
[16:28] <Reis> (Still hits, though)
[16:28] <Alathon> yeah
[16:28] <Alathon> that's 150 damage
[16:28] <Alathon> You know those drill bits with wide blades, for making holes a couple inches wide?
[16:28] <Mani> (I thought there was a save for 1/2)
[16:28] <Sheena> (O_o)
[16:28] <Alathon> It feels like he's shoving one of those into your heart.
[16:29] <Alathon> actually yup
[16:29] <Alathon> will for half
[16:29] <Kuonji> (hoooooly fuck)
[16:29] <Alathon> DC 21
[16:29] <Kuonji> (150)
[16:29] <Reis> roll 1d20+11
[16:29] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{24}
[16:29] <Alathon> and you make it, so only 75 damage
[16:29] <Sheena> (o_O)
[16:29] * Reis chokes. "Gah!"
[16:29] <Reis> (Armour, only 55 damage)
[16:29] <Alathon> The lightning discharges into Reis' torso.
[16:29] <Sheena> ( i belive thats the cue to evack)
[16:31] <Reis> (Ala, question for you in #ct2)
[16:32] <Alathon> Alright
[16:32] * Reis blinks. "... Sakura-san? Thank you, and... sorry."
[16:32] <Alathon> Reis, Mani, Sheena, you'll see another white armored figure stand up in what looks to be a balcony on the right side of the church.
[16:32] <Sheena> (no reason for sakura to eat the damage, reis has a lot of health(
[16:33] <Reis> (137 isn't exactly a lot, it works though)
[16:33] <Kuonji> (eh, why not?)
[16:33] <Alathon> Evangelical, "In the name of our LORD, perish in HIS holy fire!"
[16:33] <Kuonji> (Sakura is a noble guy)
[16:33] <Mani> "Evangelist in right balcony!"
[16:33] <Alathon> roll 16d8
[16:33] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 16d8 --> [ 16d8=75 ]{75}
[16:33] <Alathon> A wide sheet of flame explodes outward from the busted down door, engulfing Mercury, Yuuno, and Sheena
[16:34] <Alathon> With no real effect on Yuuno or Sheena since they have forcefields
[16:34] * Sheena just stands in the flames laughting
[16:34] <Alathon> Though it's probably a little scary. Yuuno at least, cringes.
[16:35] <Sheena> (speaking of scary)
[16:35] <Sheena> "Not holy enought fool!"
[16:35] * Sheena mixs her dark with the flames (Frightful Presence)
[16:35] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25
[16:36] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{26}
[16:36] <Alathon> yeeeeesh
[16:36] <Reis> (Pansy. He whimpers and runs away?)
[16:36] <Alathon> Mercury, apparently quite curious as to how the whole spellcasting thing works for the evangelicals.. just sorta stands still watching it
[16:36] <Sheena> (hah)
[16:37] <Alathon> And does nothing to avoid the worst of the flames. She gets a bit scorched.
[16:37] <Reis> (Heh)
[16:37] * Reis blinkblinks.
[16:37] <Alathon> She's still in excellent health.
[16:37] <Mani> (Her return shot should be something to see, though.)
[16:37] <Alathon> Yuuno is up
[16:37] <Sheena> (mecury:THink thats hot? should see mars in the sack)
[16:38] <Alathon> He aims at the second evangelical and fires off three green bolts of energy.
[16:38] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You'll pay for that! SHoot!"
[16:38] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[16:38] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{36}

[16:38] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{28}
[16:38] <Kuonji> (lol)
[16:38] <Mani> (Eva: "Put it on my tab.")
[16:38] <Alathon> his aim sucks a fat one, but he still manages a lucky hit
[16:38] <Reis> (And one HITS, how embarrassing.)
[16:38] <Alathon> roll 5d8+10
[16:38] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5d8+10 --> [ 5d8=24 ]{34}
[16:39] <Alathon> It rocks the eva back, but doesn't seem to hurt them too badly.
[16:39] <Kuonji> (lol, eva)
[16:39] <Kuonji> (is he being pioleted by a japanese teenager?)
[16:40] <Reis> (Time to shoot, Sheena-chan!)
[16:40] <Alathon> yup, Sheena's up
[16:40] <Alathon> There's a bit over a dozen soldiers left.
[16:40] <Sheena> (DC 27 on that FP )
[16:41] <Alathon> huh, what?
[16:41] <Mani> (Frightful presence.)
[16:41] <Reis> (Frightful Presence)
[16:41] <Sheena> (frightful presence)
[16:41] <Kuonji> (Frightful presence)
[16:41] <Alathon> (oooh)
[16:41] <Mani> (Who are you and what have you done with DCG?)
[16:41] <Sheena> (lulz)
[16:41] <Reis> (Just had to get in on that, Kuonji?)
[16:41] <Reis> (And wow, you SPELT it right. That's... unnatural.)

[16:42] <Alathon> The first eva doesn't even seem to notice
[16:42] <Reis> (He's got TWO heroes in there.)
[16:42] <Alathon> yeah, hehe
[16:43] <Alathon> the second eva.. well he's up in the balcony, but apparently still a little chilled
[16:43] <Reis> (Conveniently, that was the one she was aiming to scare ^_^ )

[16:45] <Reis> (Ah, that works too.)
[16:45] <Mani> (Enh. The soldiers are non-threats.)
[16:45] <Sheena> (true)
[16:45] <Alathon> you could, but remember structural integrity ;p
[16:45] <Kuonji> (afk for a few)
[16:45] <Alathon> you go throwing around beam attacks inside buildings, and they're gonna be condemned pretty soon
[16:45] <Sheena> (Our ninja, got ninja'ed!)

[16:53] <Kuonji> wtf

[16:54] <Reis> (Gah?)
[16:54] <Alathon> (curious)

[16:54] <Kuonji> (for some bizzre reason IRC always stays in front unless I minimize it)
[16:54] <Mani> (When's the memorial service, and where should we send the flowers?)
[16:55] <Kuonji> (positive)
[16:55] <Sheena> (reboot dude?)
[16:55] <Reis> (Gah, that's strange.)
[16:55] <Alathon> (do that after the game ;p )
[16:55] * Reis ignores them. "Schweigen sie, scheisskopf."
[16:55] <Mani> "Back up a bit while I carve this turkey, Reis."
[16:56] <Alathon> (use alt+w to switch between this window and pms or ct2
[16:56] <Alathon> roll 13#1d8+2
[16:56] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 13#1d8+2 --> [ 1d8=5 ]{7}, [ 1d8=5 ]{7}, [ 1d8=2 ]{4}, [ 1d8=5 ]{7}, [ 1d8=6 ]{8}, [ 1d8=1 ]{3}, [ 1d8=3 ]{5}, [ 1d8=1 ]{3}, [ 1d8=5 ]{7}, [ 1d8=4 ]{6}, [ 1d8=1 ]{3}, [ 1d8=5 ]{7}, [ 1d8=6 ]{8}
[16:56] <Alathon> roll 2d8+2
[16:56] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2d8+2 --> [ 2d8=6 ]{8}
[16:56] <Alathon> and you'll absolutely be rocked by those impacts
[16:56] <Alathon> but not damaged
[16:57] <Alathon> Mani is up
[16:57] * Reis gets skidded back a bit, conveniently giving Mani her space.
[16:57] * Mani attacks her knight in shining armor.
[16:57] <Mani> roll 2#1d20+31
[16:57] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{32}, [ 1d20=15 ]{46}

[16:57] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{51}

[16:58] <Alathon> heh
[16:58] <Alathon> your crit hits, and your last hit connects normally
[16:58] * Kuonji (~Pervert@71.232.118.220) Quit (Connection reset by peer)
[16:58] <Reis> (He critted, but paid for it :P )
[16:59] <Alathon> He brushes aside most of your attacks with the shield, but two slide by his defenses and cut into armor and flesh.
[16:59] <Mani> roll 2d10+8
[16:59] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2d10+8 --> [ 2d10=7 ]{15}
[16:59] <Mani> roll 1d10+8
[16:59] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d10+8 --> [ 1d10=9 ]{17}
[16:59] <Mani> (AP 1)
[16:59] <Alathon> both penetrate
[16:59] <Mani> roll 6d8
[16:59] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 6d8 --> [ 6d8=28 ]{28}
[16:59] <Alathon> This time he's a bit more hurt
[17:00] <Mani> "Keep some space between you and him, Reis." (Japanese, of course)
[17:00] <Alathon> Kuonji/Reis are up
[17:02] <Reis> "Just a second..." She skips around a little to the side, and works on slicing the guy's vital parts up with her vibroblade, keeping enough space to dodge with.
[17:02] <Reis> roll 1d20+30
[17:02] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{33}
[17:02] <Reis> roll 1d20+25
[17:02] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{29}

[17:03] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+18+2 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{36}
[17:03] <Alathon> first one connects, the rest he deflects with the shield.
[17:03] <Reis> roll 8d10
[17:03] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 8d10 --> [ 8d10=31 ]{31}
[17:03] <Reis> (AP 2)
[17:03] <Alathon> That hurts him a good bit.
[17:03] <Alathon> He gasps in pain.
[17:05] <Alathon> Mercury switches targets, firing up into the balcony at Eva #2
[17:05] <Alathon> roll 1d20+42
[17:05] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+42 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{49}

[17:06] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27+2 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{47}
[17:06] <Sheena> (isnt that guy at -2?)
[17:06] <Alathon> (that's actually only on attacks and saves, not defenses)
[17:06] <Sheena> (ahh ok)
[17:06] <Alathon> (I was wrong last round)
[17:06] <Reis> (Hm. I forgot to include Kuonji's boost, but I guess I'll just presume he reserved it for now :P )
[17:07] <Alathon> The two energy blasts that hit, hit vital spots.
[17:07] <Alathon> roll 2#8d10
[17:07] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#8d10 --> [ 8d10=38 ]{38}, [ 8d10=43 ]{43}
[17:07] <Alathon> That one's hurting a good bit now.
[17:09] <Sheena> "Keep em dancing senei"
[17:10] <Alathon> Eva number one makes a series of gestures... and.. something happens.
[17:10] <Alathon> Reis's barrier jacket vanishes.
[17:10] <Alathon> Kuonji appears, in Human form.
[17:10] <Alathon> Mani's armor vanishes, and the light in her swords goes out.
[17:11] * Reis blinks, wincing.
[17:11] <Alathon> He draws a mace from his belt.. and is done.
[17:11] <Mani> (My armor isn't summoned by spell, btw)
[17:11] <Alathon> (true)
[17:11] <Alathon> He shouts, "Get her, now!"
[17:12] <Alathon> (and Kuonji delays action I guess ;p )
[17:12] * Reis raises her sword and preps to defend.
[17:12] <Reis> (Apparently)
[17:12] <Mani> (Is the cross still burning?)
[17:12] <Alathon> No, it went out
[17:13] <Reis> (The burning flames were only when I hit it?)
[17:13] <Alathon> yeah
[17:13] <Alathon> I shoulda been clear on that
[17:14] <Alathon> ... and oh yeah
[17:14] <Alathon> Mani's a cat
[17:14] <Alathon> sigh, can't believe I forgot that THAT's her natural form
[17:14] <Alathon> I think it's fair to assume that she lands on all four legs
[17:15] <Alathon> #2 is focused on other matters
[17:15] <Alathon> namely, Sheena, Mercury, and Yuuno
[17:15] <Reis> (Like his life, I suppose)
[17:15] <Mani> (Well, he doesn't want to miss the ending.)
[17:17] <Alathon> Eva #2 raises his hands in an invocation to his god, and a column of flame erupts beneath Sheena.
[17:17] <Alathon> roll 15d6
[17:17] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 15d6 --> [ 15d6=53 ]{53}
[17:17] <Alathon> DC 20 reflex for half
[17:17] <Mani> (I suppose Eva #1 probably didn't even notice the shapechange, seeing how he's fixated on Reis...)
[17:18] <Alathon> Presumably he will at some point, but he's definately facing Reis, given that Reis last attacked him
[17:18] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+12
[17:18] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{18}
[17:18] <Sheena> (rats)
[17:18] <Alathon> and.. I believe that drops your last forcefield rank
[17:18] <Alathon> Eva #2 however, isn't thrilled that you aren't on fire.
[17:18] * Sheena still laughts a bit madly
[17:18] <Alathon> Eva #2: "Damn you!"
[17:19] <Mani> (Why's he want to set her on fire? She's scary when she's on fire. :) )
[17:19] * Sheena lets her shades slide down as she looks at the eva with dark glowing pink eyes
[17:19] <Sheena> "Oh no old man, Im here to damn you"
[17:19] <Alathon> Yuuno fires three more energy bolts without comment.
[17:19] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[17:19] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{41}
[17:19] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25
[17:19] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{29}
[17:19] <Alathon> roll 1d20+20
[17:19] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{38}
[17:20] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25+2
[17:20] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25+2 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{32}
[17:20] <Alathon> roll 1d20+23+2
[17:20] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+23+2 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{26}
[17:20] <Alathon> and all three connect
[17:20] <Alathon> roll 3#5d8+10
[17:20] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#5d8+10 --> [ 5d8=27 ]{37}, [ 5d8=23 ]{33}, [ 5d8=23 ]{33}
[17:20] <Alathon> They don't hurt as much as Sheena or Mercury's bolts of energy do, but they do hurt him (no AP)
[17:21] <Alathon> Sheena is up
[17:21] <Sheena> (eva 1's used up a lot of doge right?)
[17:22] <Alathon> it's used some
[17:22] <Reis> (Yuppers, he's down to like +16)
[17:22] <Reis> (Your own guy is down to +21)
[17:22] <Reis> (Not counting their shields of course)
[17:23] * Sheena flashs behind eva one swinging to knock this one out of the park, (or to the cross)
[17:23] <Mani> (Brilliant...)
[17:23] <Alathon> (which eva?)
[17:23] <Sheena> (problem?)
[17:23] <Alathon> Okay
[17:23] <Alathon> yeah
[17:23] <Reis> (#1)
[17:23] <Alathon> when you get about three meters away
[17:23] <Reis> (... Oh dear. I guess Mani and I are the only ones who guessed that was an antimagic field)
[17:23] <Alathon> you lose flight, and hit the grond
[17:23] <Alathon> you lose your barrier jacket
[17:23] <Sheena> (ahh ai field huh?)
[17:23] <Alathon> all the glowy lights go out
[17:24] <Sheena> (not dispell)
[17:24] <Reis> (Dispel takes a roll ;) )
[17:24] <Sheena> (does an attack still work?)
[17:24] <Alathon> dude.. you were flying across the room, and lost flight.. you fly into something
[17:24] <Alathon> roll 1d20
[17:24] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{20}
[17:24] <Alathon> not the cross :)
[17:24] <Sheena> (reflex?)
[17:24] <Mani> (Probably doesn't work right now, anyway.)
[17:25] <Alathon> eh, no need, you land on something soft
[17:25] <Sheena> (i means sheens no cow on her feet, odd tumble or not)
[17:25] <Reis> (Well... legs don't really work to support you at Mach 2.)
[17:25] <Reis> (You can't decelerate THAT fast)
[17:25] <Alathon> (I'm still working on the assumption that she's not breaking the sound barrier in close proximity to party members ;p )
[17:26] <Sheena> (you sure? sheena has some very fine legs, or so its said)
[17:26] <Reis> (Heh.)
[17:26] <Alathon> Anyways
[17:26] <Alathon> here's what happens is this
[17:26] <Alathon> despite going REALLY fast, sheena is lucky as hell, and slams into a pew that was blown sideways by one of the earlier energy attacks.. probably her own.
[17:27] <Alathon> She lands flat against the seat cushion and it absorbs most of the crash.
[17:27] <Alathon> however, that's it for this round.
[17:27] <Reis> (Two more attacks)
[17:27] <Alathon> yup
[17:27] <Alathon> roll 1d20+21+2
[17:28] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+21+2 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{31}
[17:28] <Alathon> roll 1d20+19+2
[17:28] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+19+2 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{32}
[17:28] <Sheena> (hits)
[17:28] <Sheena> (or doi rerol?)
[17:28] <Alathon> First one hits, second one misses
[17:28] <Alathon> (no reroll)
[17:28] <Alathon> roll damage for one
[17:28] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled damage for one --> error: malformed expression
[17:28] <Sheena> (its was 34 on the dc)
[17:28] <Alathon> Of the two energy bolts that missed last round, one manages to hit Eva #2 this time.. the other, he deflects.
[17:28] <Reis> (34 and then 19)
[17:29] <Sheena> Roll 5d8+4
[17:29] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 5d8+4 --> [ 5d8=20 ]{24}
[17:29] <Alathon> anyways.. end of round, top of the order
[17:29] <Alathon> the soldiers unload at reis again
[17:29] <Sheena> "Wooaaa oofff, What the fuck?""
[17:29] * Reis breathes deep, and attempts to channel her inner jedi.
[17:29] <Alathon> Kuonji delayed through.. for a moemnt, it looked like he was concentrating on something, but nothing happened (last round).
[17:30] <Mani> ("I'm trying to think, but nothing's happening!")
[17:30] <Alathon> (it's possible, he's apparently pretty wasted ;p )
[17:30] <Reis> (Heh)
[17:30] <Alathon> roll 14#1d20+9 Reis
[17:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 14#1d20+9 Reis --> [ 1d20=10 ]{19}, [ 1d20=20 ]{29}, [ 1d20=20 ]{29}, [ 1d20=4 ]{13}, [ 1d20=18 ]{27}, [ 1d20=14 ]{23}, [ 1d20=10 ]{19}, [ 1d20=19 ]{28}, [ 1d20=19 ]{28}, [ 1d20=20 ]{29}, [ 1d20=14 ]{23}, [ 1d20=4 ]{13}, [ 1d20=14 ]{23}, [ 1d20=11 ]{20}
[17:30] <Reis> (... Wtf?)
[17:31] <Sheena> (can atttacks still work in these field?)
[17:31] <Alathon> (three crits)
[17:31] <Mani> (Whoah.)
[17:31] <Alathon> (dodge 11)
[17:31] <Reis> roll 1d20+31
[17:31] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{43}
[17:31] <Reis> roll 1d20+29
[17:31] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+29 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{49}

[17:31] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{36}

[17:31] <Reis> roll 1d20+23
[17:31] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{42}

[17:31] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{16}
[17:31] <Alathon> three regular hits, and three crits
[17:31] <Reis> (Three hits, three crits)
[17:32] <Alathon> roll 3#1d8+2
[17:32] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#1d8+2 --> [ 1d8=4 ]{6}, [ 1d8=4 ]{6}, [ 1d8=3 ]{5}
[17:32] <Alathon> roll 3#2d8+2
[17:32] <Reis> (CT armour apply?)
[17:32] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#2d8+2 --> [ 2d8=12 ]{14}, [ 2d8=14 ]{16}, [ 2d8=9 ]{11}
[17:32] <Alathon> and.. sadly, it does not. the armor's just fine, but it's got no power
[17:32] * Reis winces under the bullets that hit. "Antimagic effect, Sheena-san!"
[17:33] <Alathon> (58 damage total)
[17:33] <Reis> (Yup)
[17:33] <Alathon> Mani is up
[17:34] * Mani darts away from the evangelical, shifting to human form as soon as it works.
[17:34] <Alathon> It works just over three meters away from him.
[17:34] <Mani> (Can I do anything else this round?)
[17:34] <Alathon> You'll also find that, you don't have to shift
[17:34] <Alathon> you're immediately back in human form, with armor, and your swords glow again.
[17:35] <Alathon> you can makea reflex save ;p
[17:35] <Alathon> DC 12
[17:35] <Mani> (Mm, for human form?)
[17:35] <Alathon> Yeah
[17:35] <Alathon> to avoid getting tripped up by the instant change
[17:35] <Mani> roll 1d20+8
[17:35] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{12}
[17:35] <Alathon> and, it's close, but you keep your footing and don't slam into anything
[17:35] <Reis> (Heh, just made it)
[17:36] <Alathon> hmm
[17:36] <Alathon> roll 1d3
[17:36] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d3 --> [ 1d3=3 ]{3}
[17:36] <Alathon> since your speed is back on, you can get to up to three of the soldiers
[17:37] <Mani> (Can I split attacks among all three? And can I position myself between the rest and Reis?)
[17:37] <Alathon> yes at -4
[17:37] <Alathon> and.. not really
[17:37] <Alathon> they're spread out across a bit over half the room
[17:37] * Mani snarls in new English, "Now, I'm pissed."
[17:37] * Mani splits her attacks.
[17:37] <Reis> (There's a reason we call her Blender-chan...)
[17:38] <Mani> roll 3#1d20+31-4
[17:38] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3#1d20+31-4 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{47}, [ 1d20=16 ]{43}, [ 1d20=17 ]{44}

[17:38] <Alathon> One perfectly aimed crit
[17:38] <Alathon> roll 2#1d20+10
[17:38] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{30}, [ 1d20=9 ]{19}
[17:38] <Alathon> One perfectly dodged attack.
[17:38] <Alathon> and one regular hit
[17:38] <Mani> (Not that it matters, but they should be at -2 defense, yes?)
[17:38] <Mani> roll 2d10+8
[17:38] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2d10+8 --> [ 2d10=17 ]{25}

[17:38] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d10+8 --> [ 1d10=4 ]{12}
[17:39] <Alathon> (er for what, I don't think thye've defended against anything)
[17:39] <Mani> roll 2#3d8
[17:39] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#3d8 --> [ 3d8=9 ]{9}, [ 3d8=15 ]{15}
[17:39] <Mani> (FP)
[17:39] <Reis> (The Presence attack)
[17:39] <Alathon> does not affect defense rolls; attack rolls and saving throws
[17:40] <Alathon> er.. it affects attack rolls and saving throws only
[17:40] <Reis> (Actually, they should've been at that when shooting me, shouldn't they? Hm.)
[17:40] <Alathon> anyways.. your sword slides right into the first one's heart, putting him down instantly.
[17:40] <Alathon> The second one doesn't go down until the flashes show up through his skin.
[17:41] * Mani glares at the one who ducked at just the right time.
[17:41] <Reis> (Kuonji holds?)
[17:41] <Alathon> Kuonji follows Mani's lead and gets right the hell away from Eva #1.. and changes back into Unison form.
[17:41] <Alathon> He promptly ducks under a pew.
[17:41] <Alathon> Reis is up
[17:42] * Reis darts back to a bit past the three-meter mark.
[17:42] <Mani> (At least she should be able to outrun a guy in heavy armor.)
[17:42] <Reis> (Refreshes all magical effects?)
[17:42] <Sheena> (run a LOT farter then that)
[17:42] <Sheena> (we got two fights after this, keep track of the hp drain)
[17:42] * Mani keeps an eye on how close to her eva 1 gets.
[17:43] <Reis> (Reis will be continuing to back up if the Evangelist approaches, she doesn't want to get caught in that field if it follows him)
[17:43] * Reis takes aim at the guy on the balcony. "Adlern Richter!"
[17:43] <Reis> roll 1d20+41 Vital spots.
[17:43] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+41 Vital spots. --> [ 1d20=11 ]{52}
[17:45] <Reis> (Yo?)
[17:45] <Alathon> was looking up the name, since I didn't recognize it
[17:45] <Reis> (Ah, the ribbon attack, sorry)
[17:46] <Alathon> The ribbons simply vanish when they get within about three meters of him.
[17:46] <Reis> (The one on the balcony?)
[17:46] <Alathon> sigh
[17:46] <Alathon> so much for attention to detail
[17:46] <Alathon> no, that works fine
[17:46] <Alathon> roll 1d20+31+2
[17:46] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+31+2 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{49}
[17:46] <Alathon> One hit
[17:46] <Reis> roll 4d10 AP 2
[17:46] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 4d10 AP 2 --> [ 4d10=29 ]{29}
[17:47] <Alathon> And cuts him.. he's hurting quite badly now.
[17:48] * Reis continues backing away if Eva #1 gets any closer to her.
[17:48] <Alathon> Mercury switches targets, firing at Eva #1
[17:48] <Mani> (Go, tech!)
[17:48] <Alathon> roll 1d20+42
[17:48] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+42 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{48}
[17:48] <Alathon> roll 1d20+37
[17:48] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+37 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{54}
[17:48] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32
[17:48] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{46}
[17:48] <Reis> (Hopefully it's not Crystal Tech, 'cause we know that doesn't work)
[17:48] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30+2
[17:48] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30+2 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{41}
[17:48] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28+2
[17:48] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28+2 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{34}
[17:48] <Alathon> roll 1d20+26+2
[17:48] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+26+2 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{43}
[17:49] <Mani> (Not exactly. We know the battery didn't work in the field.)
[17:49] <Alathon> He blocks a bit slower than he did a moment ago.
[17:49] <Alathon> roll 3#8d10
[17:49] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#8d10 --> [ 8d10=46 ]{46}, [ 8d10=28 ]{28}, [ 8d10=46 ]{46}
[17:49] <Reis> (Hm, true enough. And I suppose now we know this works, whatever it is :P )
[17:49] <Alathon> All three hit him in vital spots.. he's hurting pretty bad now.
[17:50] <Reis> (Sheena, dodge, he's got a mace and you're nearby, I think)
[17:50] <Mani> (Now all he has to do is shout, "This cannot be!" and his immediate death is assured.)
[17:51] <Alathon> (hmm..
[17:51] <Alathon> Yup
[17:52] <Alathon> Reis is in luck, the Eva isn't fast enough to catch her on foot.. and knows it
[17:52] <Alathon> So he goes for Sheena
[17:52] <Alathon> he rushes over, and takes a single heavy swing at Sheena's head
[17:52] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30-4
[17:52] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30-4 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{35}
[17:52] <Alathon> (this is with a mace btw)
[17:53] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+24
[17:53] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+24 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{33}
[17:53] <Alathon> and he cracks you upside the head with it
[17:53] <Sheena> Dr,
[17:53] <Alathon> (okay)
[17:53] <Sheena> eh ok nm
[17:53] <Sheena> crack away
[17:53] <Alathon> roll 1d10+4
[17:53] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d10+4 --> [ 1d10=4 ]{8}
[17:53] <Reis> (Heh. How badass :P )
[17:53] <Alathon> It hurts, but certainly isn't fatal.
[17:53] * Sheena gets cracked..
[17:54] <Sheena> "Thats it? I know a ferret that hits harder!"
[17:54] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Hey!"
[17:54] <Alathon> roll 5d8+16
[17:54] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5d8+16 --> [ 5d8=25 ]{41}
[17:54] <Alathon> Eva #2 does osmething, then hits the deck, vanishing from sight from the floor.
[17:55] <Sheena> (.. travel spec'ed?)
[17:55] <Alathon> Yuuno promptly flies up just short of the ceiling, and fires a single energy bolt down at him
[17:56] <Alathon> (he's in a balcony, when he's taking cover he's pretty impossible to see at the angle you have from the 1st floor)
[17:56] <Sheena> (ohh healing)
[17:56] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[17:56] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{47}
[17:56] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25 flatfooted
[17:56] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25 flatfooted --> [ 1d20=5 ]{30}
[17:56] <Alathon> roll 5d8+10
[17:56] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5d8+10 --> [ 5d8=16 ]{26}
[17:56] <Alathon> the energy bolt apparently hits him, judging by the groan of pain.
[17:57] <Alathon> Sheena is up
[17:57] <Alathon> You've got a big armored dude up in your face, and no magic
[17:58] * Sheena learned from mercs attacks and scramps back out of field range and behind a pew
[17:58] <Sheena> (Black impact into pew, Pew into eva. doable?)
[17:58] <Alathon> hmm
[17:59] <Sheena> (considering his like right there)
[17:59] <Alathon> go for it
[17:59] * Sheena brings dark heart back crackling with power and smalls it into the pew in front of her.
[17:59] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+27
[17:59] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{43}
[17:59] <Sheena> *slames...)

[18:00] <Kuonji> (god damn it)
[18:00] <Alathon> roll 1d20+4
[18:00] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{21}
[18:00] <Kuonji> (this is a brand new computer, what the fuck is going on?)
[18:00] <Alathon> He isn't knocked by by the flying pew, but does get hurt by it
[18:00] <Kuonji> (sorry guys, give me a few, I need to straighten some shit out)
[18:00] <Alathon> um.. say, 4d8
[18:00] <Reis> (Welcome back Ataru. Gimme a sec to PM)
[18:00] <Kuonji> (thanks dude)
[18:00] <Alathon> (did it actually conk out?)
[18:01] <Sheena> roll 4d8
[18:01] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 4d8 --> [ 4d8=21 ]{21}
[18:01] <Alathon> it seems to hurt him
[18:02] <Alathon> and.. end of round, top of the order
[18:02] <Sheena> (isnt the DC knock back 28?)
[18:02] <Alathon> (should be 10 + 2*rank
[18:03] * Kuonji (~Pervert@c-71-232-118-220.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
[18:04] <Alathon> anyways.. the soldiers keep doing what they were doing.. though now they're looking a little less filled with fervour
[18:04] <Alathon> and more just trying to drop their targets so the horror will stop
[18:04] <Alathon> roll 9#1d20+9 at Reis
[18:04] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 9#1d20+9 at Reis --> [ 1d20=4 ]{13}, [ 1d20=5 ]{14}, [ 1d20=1 ]{10}, [ 1d20=7 ]{16}, [ 1d20=15 ]{24}, [ 1d20=11 ]{20}, [ 1d20=14 ]{23}, [ 1d20=12 ]{21}, [ 1d20=12 ]{21}
[18:04] <Alathon> one manages to jam his gun, panicking
[18:04] <Alathon> dodge 8
[18:04] <Reis> roll 1d20+33
[18:04] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{45}

[18:04] <Reis> roll 1d20+23
[18:04] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{26}
[18:04] <Reis> (Darn.)
[18:05] <Reis> (Ah well, force field up, and 12 armour anyway.)
[18:05] <Reis> (I was just trying to save the field :P )
[18:05] <Alathon> roll 5#1d8+2
[18:05] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5#1d8+2 --> [ 1d8=5 ]{7}, [ 1d8=1 ]{3}, [ 1d8=5 ]{7}, [ 1d8=4 ]{6}, [ 1d8=8 ]{10}
[18:05] <Alathon> *nod* the field goes down.. and your armor blocks the rest
[18:05] <Alathon> Mani is up
[18:05] <Mani> (So, 1 next to me. Any others in clusters reachable?)
[18:06] <Alathon> I'd say you can get to at least 2
[18:06] <Mani> (Ok, is that including the one near me?)
[18:06] <Alathon> no
[18:06] <Alathon> you can get to a bunch of 2
[18:07] <Mani> (Ok. Is it a choice between him and those two, or can I use the extra against him and the normal pair of attacks vs the others?)
[18:08] * Reis frowns, glancing at the soldiers. "Cease fire and run you cowards! We don't care about you!"
[18:09] <Alathon> you hae to attack then move, or move then attack
[18:09] * Mani stares him in the eye and says, "Don't make me come back for you."
[18:09] * Mani goes for the other two.
[18:10] * Mani splits her attacks.
[18:10] <Mani> roll 2#1d20+31-4
[18:10] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 2#1d20+31-4 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{34}, [ 1d20=4 ]{31}
[18:10] <Mani> (Mm, should I pick one for the extra attack now?)
[18:10] <Alathon> (yeah)
[18:11] <Mani> roll 1d20+31-4 #2
[18:11] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+31-4 #2 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{44}
[18:11] <Alathon> (it's only -2... but I think we allk now they're not dodging unless they crit)
[18:11] <Alathon> roll 1d20+10
[18:11] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{17}

[18:11] <Alathon> roll 1d20+8
[18:11] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{12}
[18:11] <Reis> (Heh, indeed. Even if they DO crit, they're not goint to get a roll that good)
[18:11] <Alathon> and indeed, they don't
[18:11] <Mani> roll 3#1d10+8
[18:11] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3#1d10+8 --> [ 1d10=1 ]{9}, [ 1d10=1 ]{9}, [ 1d10=8 ]{16}

[18:11] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3#3d8 --> [ 3d8=20 ]{20}, [ 3d8=9 ]{9}, [ 3d8=12 ]{12}
[18:12] <Alathon> dead, and dead.
[18:12] <Mani> (Looks like I split those up the right way. :) )
[18:12] <Reis> (Indeed)
[18:12] <Alathon> Despite the relatively weak physical attacks, the bursts of magical within their flesh are telling.. and fatal.
[18:12] * Mani takes a half second to glance back at the soldier she left.
[18:12] <Reis> (Kuonji available?)
[18:12] <Reis> (Rather, is the player at the keyboard :P )
[18:13] <Alathon> he's not in the room, so I dunno
[18:13] <Mani> (Since he disconnected, I don't think so.)
[18:13] <Reis> (Gah, didn't notice he'd left again)
[18:13] <Alathon> either way, he's not visible
[18:13] <Mani> (Well, he may be at the keyboard, but it doesn't help us.)
[18:13] * Reis teleports into place on the balcony and makes a sincere effort to shove a sword into balcony man's heart, trying to keep Yuuno's field of fire clear too.
[18:13] <Reis> roll 1d20+30
[18:13] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{41}
[18:13] <Alathon> (er, are you doing this blind, or what?)
[18:14] <Alathon> (you cannot see where he is)
[18:14] <Reis> (Well, I know where he WAS, and I'm teleporting up to that position and then looking.)
[18:14] <Mani> (So, teleporting into the air above and then launching an attack?)
[18:14] <Alathon> which attack?
[18:14] <Alathon> wait.. ribbons?
[18:14] <Reis> (Was going for the sword attack, but, teleport up and do the ribbons, yeah)
[18:14] <Alathon> or sword
[18:15] <Alathon> okay
[18:15] * Reis makes sure to keep Yuuno's field of fire clear.
[18:16] <Reis> (That work? I'm basically teleporting to get a clear view, and then launching the attack)
[18:16] <Alathon> (yes)
[18:17] <Reis> roll 1d20+41 Adlern Richter
[18:17] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+41 Adlern Richter --> [ 1d20=2 ]{43}
[18:17] <Reis> (Wow, can I take the old 11 and just add to it instead? :P )
[18:17] <Alathon> (yes, no need to reroll)
[18:17] <Sheena> (the guy up there's weaker, but way smarter)
[18:17] <Reis> (Yay! 52)
[18:18] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25+2
[18:18] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25+2 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{32}

[18:19] <Alathon> The ribbons pierce him, and with a spray of blood, he stops moving.
[18:19] <Alathon> Mercury keeps firing at EVA #1
[18:19] <Alathon> roll 1d20+42
[18:19] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+42 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{58}

[18:19] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+37 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{55}
[18:19] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32
[18:19] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{40}
[18:19] * Reis exhales, glancing up to give Yuuno a thumbs-up.
[18:20] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30+2
[18:20] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30+2 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{52}

[18:20] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28+2 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{41}
[18:20] <Alathon> roll 1d20+26+2
[18:20] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+26+2 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{40}
[18:20] <Alathon> amazingly, he manages to deflect two of the three shots.
[18:20] <Sheena> (eh? dont you mean one)
[18:21] <Mani> (I'm surprised that shield is still intact.)
[18:21] <Alathon> (he critted the first block
[18:21] <Alathon> (it'd be scrap metal about four rounds ago without Deflection)
[18:21] <Alathon> and he got a 40 vs her 40 on the 3rd
[18:21] <Alathon> roll 8d10
[18:21] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 8d10 --> [ 8d10=47 ]{47}
[18:22] <Alathon> He's hurting even worse now..
[18:22] <Alathon> And apparently realizes it.
[18:22] <Alathon> Evangelical: "Infidels! You who defile this house, the LORD's house... Shall never leave it alive!"
[18:23] <Alathon> and.. waves of flame fill the entire room, setting everything on fire
[18:23] <Reis> (Yeah, this would've been a good time to have a force field up.)
[18:23] <Alathon> roll 18d6
[18:23] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 18d6 --> [ 18d6=63 ]{63}
[18:23] <Mani> (How can he do that in an amf?)
[18:23] <Alathon> (he dropped it)
[18:24] <Alathon> (otherwise he'd.. actually.. you know.. I don't know if you can spellcast within an AMF as long as the effects are outside)
[18:24] <Alathon> (that'd bea kinda cool strategy)
[18:24] <Alathon> (but for the purpose of this battle, he dropped it)
[18:24] <Alathon> DC 23 reflex for half
[18:24] <Reis> (Yeah, that would win disturbingly well)
[18:24] <Reis> roll 1d20+11
[18:24] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{13}

[18:25] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+12
[18:25] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{13}
[18:25] <Sheena> (toasty!)

[18:25] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+12
[18:25] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{20}
[18:25] <Sheena> (bah)
[18:25] <Mani> roll 1d20+8
[18:25] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{12}
[18:25] * Reis 's jaw drops. "You... what in HELL?!"
[18:26] <Alathon> The entire place is, in the space of a few seconds, lit up and burning.
[18:27] <Alathon> Mercury's voice: "Everyone, clear out immediately."
[18:27] <Mani> (What about him?)
[18:27] * Sheena floats above and in the fire
[18:27] <Alathon> he doesn't even attempt to reflex save, and dies
[18:27] * Mani checks to see if everyone can make it out on their own power.
[18:27] * Sheena with the target down does as ordered
[18:27] * Reis frowns, nodding, and will go up to help teleport Yuuno out if she's having any trouble getting out.
[18:28] <Alathon> roll 1d20+16 Yuuno
[18:28] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+16 Yuuno --> [ 1d20=18 ]{34}
[18:28] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25 Mercury
[18:28] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25 Mercury --> [ 1d20=17 ]{42}
[18:28] <Alathon> Yuuno remains safe behind her forcefield, though she sure as hell flinches.
[18:28] <Alathon> She flies the hell outta the church as ordered.
[18:28] <Alathon> Mercury doesn't seem to have been affected.
[18:28] <Alathon> Sheena is up
[18:28] <Sheena> (where's sakura?)
[18:28] <Alathon> Kuonji, via comm: "I'm okay and invisible, clearing out."
[18:29] * Reis looks for Kuonji, and nods once he reports, preparing a triangle spinning underneath her.
[18:29] <Sheena> "hooo shit that guys hotter them the other fool, Reis Evak!"
[18:29] * Sheena flys out as well
[18:29] <Reis> (That would necessitate it being my turn)
[18:29] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order.
[18:30] <Alathon> The place keeps burning.. and it's now Mani's turn.
[18:30] * Mani exits, still annoyed.
[18:30] * Sheena is smoking a bit in places
[18:30] * Reis grits her teeth and teleports out.
[18:31] <Alathon> Soon after everyone is out, there's a sort of 'thump'
[18:31] <Alathon> and all the windows are blown out... by steam.
[18:32] <Alathon> A huge burst of hot, wet steam sprays out the front door-hole
[18:33] * Sheena gets that shower fresh feeling, then takes off her shades to whipe them off
[18:33] * Reis looks around to see how everyone else is doing - she herself seems to be fairly pained, but her wounds are regenerating with a visible runic pattern over them.
[18:33] * Mani paces around angrily; if she were a cat currently, her tail would be thrashing about.
[18:33] <Alathon> About a dozen seconds pass.. and there's a very loud, sharp crack.. proceded by duller crunching sounds as Mercury flies bodily through the front of the cathedral, across the street, and slams into a storefront.
[18:33] <Alathon> Sheena, fort save, DC 16
[18:33] * Mani rushes over to Mercury.
[18:34] <Sheena> (ahh hell)
[18:34] * Reis 's eyes widen, and she moves over to check on Mercury and assist her if necessary.
[18:34] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+5
[18:34] <Alathon> medical roll, I'm guessing, to see how she is?
[18:34] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{20}
[18:34] <Mani> roll 1d20+11 med
[18:34] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+11 med --> [ 1d20=8 ]{19}
[18:35] * Sheena turns away from the remains of the church fast covering her eyes
[18:35] <Sheena> "Ahh hell!"
[18:36] <Sheena> "fucking shit, Damn lame ass god! take them off for one moment!"
[18:37] <Alathon> roll 1d20+8 yuuno
[18:37] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+8 yuuno --> [ 1d20=17 ]{25}
[18:37] <Alathon> Yuuno is saying something similar, just not in a language any of you recognize.
[18:37] * Sheena puts her shades back on and decides to only take em off for certent people.
[18:38] <Sheena> "Mani! That was a magic overload blast, How's lady mecury doing?"
[18:38] * Mani focuses some energy into Mercury.
[18:38] <Alathon> Mercury will be shaky for a bit
[18:38] <Alathon> But make her way to her feet in less than a minute.
[18:38] * Reis blinks and looks over. "Yuuno-sensei, Sheena-san, what happened? Are you all right?"
[18:38] * Kuonji (~Pervert@c-71-232-118-220.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[18:38] <Kuonji> (...)
[18:38] <Alathon> She looks a little peeved.. her gun is trashed.
[18:38] <Reis> (Welcome back)
[18:38] <Kuonji> (now what did I miss? -_-)
[18:38] * Sheena feels better as dark heart triggers its healing
[18:38] <Mani> (Oh, nothing much...)
[18:38] <Reis> (Finished in the church, the evangelist dick blew it up himself)
[18:39] <Alathon> Mercury looks around, visor down over her eyes.. she seems to stop and look at a spot where there's nobody for a moment, before continuing to check out the rest of the party
[18:39] <Kuonji> (kuonji dead?)\
[18:39] * Reis is a bit of a mess, but getting better by the moment.
[18:39] <Reis> (No, you got out under GM control)
[18:39] <Alathon> Mercury: "...I will take a moment now, to reiterate my admonission against approaching, or attempting to destroy, those energy gathering crosses."
[18:39] <Reis> (Heck, you didn't even recieve damage, I don't think)
[18:40] * Mani is healing up.
[18:40] <Alathon> She's blinking a bit much, but seems to have the hang of speaking normally.
[18:40] <Sheena> "Roger that, im still see'ing that image from the overload"
[18:40] <Alathon> Mercury: "Has anyone suffered wounds requiring evacuation?"
[18:40] <Kuonji> (I took damage for you)
[18:40] * Reis rubs her throat, nodding. "I didn't see the gottverdamnt thing... Wouldn't have done that if I'd known it was there."
[18:40] <Sheena> "May i sugest high explosives next time?"
[18:40] <Alathon> (btw, Kuonji you're in normalf orm now)
[18:40] <Alathon> (you got booted from the unison mode by an antimagic field)
[18:40] <Mani> "I haven't. Do you need healing, Sheena?"
[18:41] <Sheena> "Reis needs it more"
[18:41] <Mani> "Reis will heal on her own."
[18:41] <Alathon> (then doused yourself in hot water, went invis, got your gear on, and then teleported out of the church after it got firestormed
[18:41] * Reis shakes her head. "No, I'm injured, but still viable and getting better. Mani, could you give me a hand though? I'll take too long to heal on my own."
[18:41] <Alathon> (you're burned but regenning)
[18:41] <Sheena> "I could use a bit mani, that last blast of fire caught me off guard"
[18:42] <Mani> "I can, Reis, but I can only heal a given person so much in a day... Are you sure you want to use some of that up now?"
[18:42] <Alathon> Mercury then taps something on her headset, and speaks again.
[18:42] <Reis> "It'd take me about... ten minutes. That's half our operational time right there."
[18:42] <Mani> (10 minutes? She's down 100?)
[18:42] * Reis nods. "I'll just make sure not to get injured again, Mani."
[18:42] <Reis> (Yeah, LOTS.)
[18:43] <Reis> (It was the 58 under AMF that hurt most)
[18:43] <Alathon> Mercury: "Notice to all teams; remove all Espionage and Secial Operations personell from cathedral grounds before disabling energy storage devices."
[18:43] <Mani> "Very well."
[18:43] * Mani goes over to Reis and restores 50 hp.
[18:44] <Alathon> Mercury taps the headset again, and returns her attention to the team.
[18:44] * Reis smiles, nodding. "Thank you."
[18:44] * Mani checks on Sheena. (How much is she down?)
[18:44] <Alathon> She moves her busted up gun behind her back, and.. it didsappears.
[18:44] <Alathon> Mercury then faces.. nobody.
[18:44] <Mani> (It's Tsukasa! She's back ... again.)
[18:44] <Alathon> Mercury: "Kuonji, you carry your teams crystal tech weaponry with you, correct?"
[18:45] <Kuonji> "Hai, Mercury-sama."
[18:45] <Alathon> Mercury: "Be prepared to deploy it should we encounter another such suppressive field."
[18:45] <Sheena> (sheena's down 38)
[18:45] * Mani heals Sheena to full.
[18:45] <Kuonji> "I also carry some melee weapons should it prove necessary"
[18:45] <Alathon> (hmm, suppose we better find out how much Kuonji is down)
[18:45] * Reis frowns. "Sakura-san, do we have a beam weapon in stock?"
[18:46] * Mani sighs and turns to Mercury.
[18:46] <Alathon> Mercury: "Good. Let's procede to the third target."
[18:46] <Sheena> "Good to go"
[18:46] <Alathon> Mercury looks over to Mani.
[18:46] <Mani> "I'm afraid I'll be useless in such a field."
[18:46] <Alathon> Mercury: "Yes?"
[18:46] <Alathon> Mercury frowns.
[18:46] <Kuonji> (do we have a beam weapon?)
[18:47] <Sheena> (next level, alt form KIttydragon)
[18:47] <Reis> (I'm thinking the sword and the like - Reis can't do much damage just swinging the sword, at the moment)
[18:47] <Alathon> (you have whatever you were rated.. which is probably beam rifles, but no plasma rifles)
[18:47] <Mani> (How will another alt form be useful in an amf?)
[18:47] <Sheena> (dont make it with magic)
[18:48] <Kuonji> (/yeah, to bad I gave way the weapons I looted to R&D)
[18:48] <Alathon> Mercury: "You handled it correctly in this case; withdraw, and engage other targets. Barring that.. retreat and gain cover."
[18:48] <Reis> (How much time are we getting to heal, Ala?)
[18:48] * Mani nods.
[18:48] <Alathon> (you don't know, but very little, you know you're on the clock)
[18:48] <Alathon> Mercury starts walking.
[18:48] * Sheena follows
[18:48] <Alathon> Mercury speeds up to a fast jog.
[18:48] * Reis follows Mercury.
[18:48] * Mani follows.
[18:49] <Alathon> Mercury, over her shoulder: "It is possible, but unlikely, that such a suppression field could affect my capabilities as Senshi. In that case, I would do the same."
[18:49] * Mani deactivates her uniform's armor for now and lets her AP spells drop.
[18:49] <Alathon> And.. let's end here
[18:49] <Sheena> "Basic phsics works just fine mani, make one of your crystal and small the fool with it.
[18:49] <Sheena> k
[18:49] <Mani> "I understand. I just wish I could even fall back to a gun like the others could."
[18:50] <Mani> (small?)
[18:50] <Sheena> smash
[18:50] <Sheena> bah
[18:50] <Reis> (Smack)
[18:50] * Reis frowns. "Next time we'll need to bring along some of the beam melee weapons... I know I'm better with them than firearms."
[18:51] <Mani> "And how am I supposed to do that as a cat, Sheena?"
[18:51] <Alathon> (and, I need to be afk for a few.. but you'll have about two minutes transit time to the next destination)
[18:51] <Alathon> (so you hae time for a conversation along the way)
[18:52] <Reis> (How long were we talking?)
[18:52] <Sheena> "... from a distance? lady mecury's projectiles and that bench i slammed into the fool crosed the field just fine"
[18:52] <Kuonji> "Well, you might be able to hold a kunai in your mouth taichou..."
[18:52] <Kuonji> "You could always leap for the neck."
[18:52] * Kuonji grins
[18:52] <Mani> "If I'm at a distance, I can use a gun. Just saying there's nothing much I can do while actually inside such a field."
[18:53] * Reis chuckles. "Well... at least the evangelists are nearly worthless in there as well."
[18:53] <Mani> "Which is kind of ironic, as I'm the one here who uses nonmagical swords..."
[18:53] <Kuonji> "My sword isn't magic."
[18:53] * Reis smirks. "I could too... it wouldn't DO anything through the armour I don't think, but I could use it."
[18:54] <Mani> (Is Sakura's just a normal sword without any powers? I thought he used a special attack.)
[18:54] <Kuonji> "But yes, I have beam weapons to distribute should the need arise."
[18:54] <Kuonji> (special attack !=magic)
[18:54] <Mani> (It does with regard to amf.)
[18:54] <Mani> (At least in this session it did.)
[18:55] <Kuonji> (oh? that doesn't make much sense)
[18:55] <Kuonji> (because you could even have a tech special attack)
[18:55] <Mani> (I imagine one based purely on tech or skill wouldn't, though.)
[18:57] <Mani> Ok, I guess we're done chatting.
[18:57] <Kuonji> "Oh hey, Sheena..."
[18:58] <Kuonji> "I forgot to ask you something the other day."
[19:03] <Rockman_Zero> ("Will you marry me?" ;P)
[19:05] * Mani is now known as Yarrow
[19:05] <Reis> (... Apparently he forgot to ask it today too.)
[19:06] <Kuonji> (yarrow bailing?)
[19:06] <Yarrow> Well, Alathon did say "let's end here" a while ago.
[19:06] <Kuonji> he did?
[19:06] <Kuonji> <Alathon> (and, I need to be afk for a few.. but you'll have about two minutes transit time to the next destination)
[19:06] <Kuonji> <Alathon> (so you hae time for a conversation along the way)
[19:06] <Kuonji> is the last thing I saw
[19:07] <Yarrow> About 3 minutes before that.
[19:07] <Reis> (I think he means the real session's over, but we can talk some while we go)
[19:07] <Yarrow> Yeah. And since that seems to have died out and I have some things to do...
[19:08] <Kuonji> DCG seems to have vanished
[19:09] <Reis> (I suppose Sheens has vanished, yeah. So no answer to your question, poor Kuonji.)
[19:09] <Kuonji> (it's not an important question :P)
[19:09] <Sheena> (iumn here)
[19:10] <Sheena> (was just refiling the drink)
[19:10] <Alathon> sorry about bailing, pressing biological needs and allt hat
[19:10] <Kuonji> heh
[19:11] <Reis> (Heh, no problem)
[19:11] <Alathon> 4625 exp for the session

[Alathon]

Session 68

[12:11] <Alathon> anyways
[12:11] <Alathon> lets get started
[12:11] <Alathon> we left off last game with the party in mid-assault.
[12:11] <Alathon> You've taken out your primary target, the embassy, and your second target as well, one of the UST's cathedrals.
[12:12] <Alathon> The first went down pretty easily, the second.. not so much, and the team is a little worse for wear
[12:12] <Alathon> You also found out that, to nobodys surprise, those crosses are bad mojo
[12:12] <Alathon> At least, judging by the part where Mercury got sent flying through the front wall of the church when she destroyed it.
[12:13] <Pale_Wolf> (And the 'erupt in flames when I touched it' bit.)
[12:13] <Alathon> You also encountered something particularly troublesome: an anti-magic field, or anti-supernatural field..
[12:13] <Alathon> whatever it was, it was a substantial hinderance to any team member who entered it, especially Mani.
[12:14] <DCG> (good hting that oldman hit like an..oldman.)
[12:14] <Alathon> well, he was still +4 on damage, which is up near the top of normal human capability ;p
[12:14] <Alathon> he just didn't hit like a supernatural monster
[12:15] <Alathon> Mercury is now leading the party at a fast jog to their next destination.
[12:15] <Alathon> And we left off as you all rounded the corner to it, and saw your reception party.
[12:16] <Yarrow> (Time in transit for those of us with regen?)
[12:16] <Alathon> (roughly two minutes)
[12:16] * Yarrow is now known as Mani
[12:16] * Pale_Wolf is now known as Reis
[12:16] <Alathon> (so, +20 hp per rank of regen)
[12:16] <Alathon> (that means you reis ;p )
[12:16] * Mani activates her uniform's armor (do we still have to say that?) and charges her swords.
[12:17] <Reis> (Righto.)
[12:17] <Mani> (Are we in combat time yet?)
[12:18] * DCG hits her armor again, annoying antifirelds
[12:19] <Alathon> (as of now-ish, yes)
[12:20] <Alathon> What you see is a lot less worse than it could be
[12:21] * Ataru is now known as Kuonji
[12:21] <Reis> (Well, that's a good sign)
[12:21] <Alathon> It looks like.. at least twenty-ish UST soldiers are taking cover behind bushes, stairs, or other buildings, preparing to fire at you
[12:21] <Kuonji> (wait, what's my condition?)
[12:21] <Kuonji> (hp/ep wise?)
[12:22] <Alathon> (ep wise you have like 15, hp wise you should be full)
[12:22] <Alathon> Directing the soldiers are two sword-angels.. though, they're not nearly as massive as the ones you've fought previously
[12:23] <Alathon> They're more human sized, and instead of flaming greatswords, they have large shields and what look to be warhammers.
[12:24] <Kuonji> (waaagh)
[12:24] <Reis> (Heh)
[12:24] <Alathon> (to be clear, that's the kind with a spike rather than a hammer ending)
[12:24] <Alathon> (a warpick would be a better description)
[12:25] <Alathon> anyways, Init
[12:25] * Reis purses her lips, evaluating one of the... hammer-angels. (Judge Opponent)
[12:25] <Reis> roll 1d20+9
[12:25] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{16}
[12:25] <Mani> roll 1d20+9
[12:25] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{27}
[12:25] <Mani> (Range to enemy?)
[12:25] <DCG> roll 1d20+2
[12:25] <AlaBot> DCG rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{22}
[12:25] * DCG is now known as Sheena
[12:25] <Reis> (... Wow, impressive Sheens)
[12:25] <Sheena> (woot)
[12:26] <Alathon> Mercury: "Mani and I will distract them; Reis, Sheena, keep cover and support fire, no AE's.. Kuonji, asist where yous ee fit."
[12:26] * Reis nods. "Understood."
[12:26] <Alathon> Yuuno: "And me?"
[12:27] <Alathon> Mercury: "Support as well."
[12:27] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+14
[12:27] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{19}
[12:27] * Mani judges the angels when she's able, as well.
[12:27] <Kuonji> (where I see fit? >_>)
[12:28] <Alathon> (I'll get to the judges in a moment)
[12:28] <Alathon> roll 1d20+1 SOldiers #1
[12:28] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+1 SOldiers #1 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{19}
[12:28] <Alathon> roll 1d20+1 Soldiers #2
[12:28] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+1 Soldiers #2 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{5}
[12:29] <Sheena> (oh great my nets getting wonky
[12:29] <Mani> (Well if it gets really bad, at least you can just run off to the party.)
[12:29] <Alathon> roll 1d20+9 Sword angel #1
[12:29] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+9 Sword angel #1 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{14}
[12:29] <Alathon> roll 1d20+9 Sword angel #2
[12:29] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+9 Sword angel #2 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{11}
[12:29] <Sheena> (ill have to head there in a bit any way,)
[12:30] <Alathon> roll 1d20+4 ???
[12:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+4 ??? --> [ 1d20=13 ]{17}
[12:30] <Reis> (Hah! And I thought my roll sucked.)
[12:30] <Mani> (Aren't they hammer angels? :) )
[12:30] <Alathon> (yeah ;p )
[12:31] <Kuonji> (stop... hammer time.)
[12:31] <Alathon> Also immediately noticeable is that they don't wear the heavy armor that the sword angels preferred, but rather a mix of gleaming golden and silvered chainmail.
[12:33] <Mani> (Ah. Angel posers.)
[12:34] <Mani> (Would be hillarious if the angels saw we had an actual senshi with us and fled, leaving the soldiers there. :) )
[12:34] <Alathon> roll 1d20+5 Yuuno
[12:34] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+5 Yuuno --> [ 1d20=14 ]{19}
[12:34] <Reis> (Either that or they're MORE badass than the ones we fought before :P )
[12:34] <Alathon> roll 1d20+13 Mercury
[12:34] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+13 Mercury --> [ 1d20=12 ]{25}
[12:34] <Alathon> (and, who's judging the angels?)
[12:34] <Mani> (I am!)
[12:34] <Reis> (Me)
[12:35] <Kuonji> (so hungry, but so broke)
[12:35] <Alathon> Fight order: Sheena, Mani, Mercury, Kuonji, Yuuno, Soldiers #1, ???, Reis, Angel #1, Angel #2, Soldiers #2
[12:35] <Kuonji> (shouldn't have spent 10 bucks on blow last night.. did get a pretty sweet deal on it though)
[12:37] <Alathon> And, Sheena is up
[12:37] <Alathon> They've all seen you, but none of them reacted fast enough to get the first shots off
[12:38] <Alathon> Since a lot of 'em were looking down the street in the opposite direction
[12:39] <Sheena> "Fire support, can do"
[12:39] * Sheena rakes fire down one side of the street
[12:40] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+27 buster
[12:40] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 buster --> [ 1d20=20 ]{47}
[12:40] <Alathon> (hah!)
[12:40] <Mani> (Double crit...)
[12:40] <Alathon> (second attack?)
[12:40] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+22 ... buster
[12:40] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+22 ... buster --> [ 1d20=1 ]{23}
[12:40] <Mani> (Figures.)
[12:40] <Sheena> (LOL)
[12:41] <Sheena> (ill save the dr for whem im gone, so i dont come back to sheena dead)
[12:42] <Alathon> okay, roll damage on first and second
[12:42] <Kuonji> (...)
[12:42] <Reis> (... For the record, I am behind Sheena, not in front :P )
[12:42] <Kuonji> (she going to nail merc or mani?)
[12:42] <Sheena> Roll 16d8+4
[12:42] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 16d8+4 --> [ 16d8=72 ]{76}
[12:43] <Reis> (Or herself?)
[12:43] <Sheena> Roll 8d8+4
[12:43] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 8d8+4 --> [ 8d8=19 ]{23}
[12:43] <Mani> (Just don't KO her again if she sends a blast your way, Reis. :p )
[12:43] <Reis> (Well, I'll TRY...)
[12:43] <Sheena> (sheena whent first so she should be up front)
[12:43] <Alathon> Alright
[12:44] <Alathon> you pretty much annihilate the first group of soldiers, the ones whow ere taking cover on the steps
[12:44] <Mani> (And by blind luck, take out the ???! ;) )
[12:44] <Alathon> You manage to catch the 2nd angel as well, and it feels it
[12:44] <Alathon> Your second beam drifts a little.. and you catch the front of the church.
[12:45] <Alathon> Having knocked out most of the beams, the front third of the church collapses into rubble.
[12:45] <Sheena> (oops?)
[12:45] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[12:46] * ChanServ sets mode: +oa Alathon Alathon
[12:46] <Mani> (Can I reach anyone to attack this round?)
[12:46] <Sheena> "Ahh hahah.. shit! Mybad."
[12:46] * Sheena watchs the molted ground cool and dust settel
[12:46] * Alathon changes topic to 'Sheena, Mani, Mercury, Kuonji, Yuuno, Soldiers #1, ???, Reis, Angel #1, Angel #2'
[12:46] <Alathon> (yes
[12:47] <Alathon> (at speed you can run up to any of 'em)
[12:47] * Mani goes for the wounded angel.
[12:47] <Mani> roll 3#1d20+33
[12:47] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3#1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{34}, [ 1d20=13 ]{46}, [ 1d20=1 ]{34}
[12:47] <Reis> (...)
[12:47] <Reis> (Someone hates us.)
[12:48] <Kuonji> (al. al hates us)
[12:48] <Reis> (Someone really, really, hates us.)
[12:48] <Mani> (No DR)
[12:48] <Alathon> roll 1d20+38+2
[12:48] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+38+2 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{46}
[12:48] <Reis> (Just... wow. Three critfails in the first round...)
[12:49] <Alathon> The Angel is quick to recognize your style of attack.. it slides to the side, jamming its shield down on your wrist, disarming you of one sword.. parries the second attack with the pick, then curls it around the third attack and yanks the other sword out of your hand.
[12:49] <Mani> (I can see it now... I charge forward and part of the church falls on me...)
[12:50] <Alathon> Mercury leaps forward.. literally.
[12:50] <Mani> (Of course it would be hillarious if he then critfails and I disarm him.)
[12:50] <Alathon> As she goes airborne, those still back at the corner can see each of her arms shimmering blue-white.
[12:51] <Alathon> She comes down at the other angel with what looks like a solid spike of ice encasing her right forearm, and a heavy cestus and bracer on her left.
[12:51] <Alathon> roll 1d20+42 leap attack
[12:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+42 leap attack --> [ 1d20=5 ]{47}
[12:51] <Alathon> roll 1d20+38+2 block
[12:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+38+2 block --> [ 1d20=9 ]{49}
[12:52] <Alathon> The angel sees it coming, and diverts the force of the attack off to the side with a heavy but fast swing of it's shield; mercury stumbles a bit as she catches her balance.
[12:52] <Alathon> Kuonji, you're up
[12:52] <Kuonji> (am I invis/armored? if not I'll use my turn to do that)
[12:53] <Alathon> (you were invis at the end of last game)
[12:53] <Alathon> (so yes you're invis)
[12:53] <Alathon> (and you're armored now)
[12:53] <Alathon> (so you can act0
[12:53] * Kuonji will jump attack the angel that disarmed Mani
[12:54] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+30
[12:54] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{43}
[12:54] <Alathon> roll 1d20+36+2 block
[12:54] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+36+2 block --> [ 1d20=4 ]{42}
[12:55] <Alathon> It's just a liiiiitle slow with the shieldblock though.. your shadowsabre slides by.
[12:55] <Alathon> (so roll damage)
[12:56] <Kuonji> roll 6d8+59
[12:56] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 6d8+59 --> [ 6d8=27 ]{86}
[12:57] <Alathon> (er kuonji.. how'd your attack get to 30?)
[12:58] <Alathon> (I don't have a level 18 char sheet from you)
[12:58] <Kuonji> (say what? O_O)
[12:58] <Mani> (Did you check the old email address?)
[12:58] <Alathon> (I just checked both the live.com and the comcast.net)
[13:00] <Alathon> Alright
[13:00] <Alathon> slight change; the angel manages, just barely, to block the attack.
[13:00] <Kuonji> (whoah, whoah whoa WHAT?)
[13:00] <Alathon> (dude)
[13:00] <Alathon> (you never sent me a levelled up char sheet)
[13:01] <Alathon> (you're at +28)
[13:01] * AlAtWork (~nlennig@tide505.microsoft.com) Quit (Ping timeout)
[13:01] <Kuonji> (what the fuck? I have this right here in my sent box dated FEB 12)
[13:01] <Kuonji> (You want me to screen shot this for you?)
[13:01] <Alathon> (actually yup, you'r right)
[13:02] <Alathon> (it was buried under all the spam in the comcast account)
[13:02] <Alathon> so yeah, you hit, and cut it pretty fierce
[13:03] <Mani> (Does it seem like it can see Sakura?)
[13:03] <Alathon> It moved to face wherever the attack came from.
[13:04] <Mani> (Too bad you didn't instakill it. That had potential for some great lines. Mani: "Don't make me use that attack again.")
[13:04] <Alathon> Yuuno moves a bit around hte corner, and starts chanting.. usual spinny green circle and all that
[13:04] <Alathon> (and sorry about that, I should have realized that just checking the first four pages of the account didn't guarantee seeing it)
[13:05] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Stinger sword... execution shift!"
[13:05] <Kuonji> (no prob)
[13:06] <Sheena> (bad yuuno, and no one can call her on it)
[13:07] * AlAtWork (~nlennig@tide534.microsoft.com) has joined #crystaltokyo
[13:08] <Alathon> (dammit, I thought I had that image posted, but apparently not)
[13:08] <Alathon> (Everyone who's watched nanoha knows what this looks like.. except it's glowy green instead of glowy blue-white)
[13:08] <Mani> (Ok...)
[13:08] <Mani> (Doesn't matter, since I'm not facing that way, anyway.)
[13:08] <Reis> (Roger ;) )
[13:09] <Alathon> For those that don't.. a couple dozen small circular bands of runed energy appear in Yuuno's vicinity.. and energy swords grow within them.. as he finishes the attack, the blades spin to face the remaining texan soldiers, then launch
[13:10] <Alathon> roll 12#1d20+1
[13:10] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 12#1d20+1 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{19}, [ 1d20=18 ]{19}, [ 1d20=20 ]{21}, [ 1d20=11 ]{12}, [ 1d20=13 ]{14}, [ 1d20=14 ]{15}, [ 1d20=5 ]{6}, [ 1d20=17 ]{18}, [ 1d20=18 ]{19}, [ 1d20=20 ]{21}, [ 1d20=11 ]{12}, [ 1d20=20 ]{21}

[13:10] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#6d8+10 --> [ 6d8=35 ]{45}, [ 6d8=27 ]{37}, [ 6d8=28 ]{38}
[13:10] <Alathon> (even if they all make their saves, they're still down)
[13:10] <Mani> (The dicebot really doesn't like us today...)
[13:10] <Alathon> The swords swarm across the distance, jamming into soldiers.. they all pretty much hit the ground.
[13:11] <Alathon> Mani, Kuonji, you're close enough to see that none of the soldiers who were hit are bleeding.
[13:11] * Reis blinks. "Wow, impressive, Yuuno-sensei."
[13:12] <Alathon> hmm.. spot checks, everyone
[13:12] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28
[13:12] <Mani> roll 1d20+13 spot
[13:12] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{33}

[13:12] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{17}
[13:12] <Mani> (typo: +12, not +13)
[13:12] <Alathon> (nod)
[13:12] <Reis> roll 1d20+16
[13:12] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{19}

[13:13] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+5
[13:13] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{24}
[13:13] <Alathon> Alright.. you all notice a figure standing up on the roof one building down from where the front of the cathedral used to be.
[13:13] <Mani> (King Endymion!)
[13:14] <Alathon> Yuuno, Reis, and Sheena in particular, notice the shiny, spinning blades cutting into their flesh
[13:14] <Alathon> DC 21 reflex for half
[13:14] <Alathon> roll 16d6
[13:14] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 16d6 --> [ 16d6=57 ]{57}

[13:14] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{21}
[13:14] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+12
[13:14] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{15}
[13:14] <Alathon> As a field of spinning shards of metal appears around the corner area.. turning the edge of the wooden building it encompasses into sawdust
[13:14] <Reis> (Yay for forcefields)
[13:15] <Alathon> It looks almost like a spinning halo of steel
[13:15] <Alathon> as it flattens into something close to a disk
[13:16] <Alathon> just.. a fairly tall disk ;p
[13:16] <Alathon> It pretty much entirely cuts off this intersection, unless you wanna go through it
[13:16] <Alathon> and speaking of which, you'll probablyw anna get out of it too ASAP
[13:16] <Alathon> anyways.. Reis is up
[13:17] <Alathon> Nobody takes damage thanks to forcefields, but the forcefields other than yuuno's are down
[13:18] * Reis teleports up above the field of metal-ey stuff, and slings a burst of ribbons at the dude on the roof.
[13:18] <Reis> roll 1d20+42
[13:18] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+42 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{48}

[13:19] <Reis> roll 4d8 AP 2
[13:19] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 4d8 AP 2 --> [ 4d8=20 ]{20}
[13:20] <Alathon> The ribbons cut into what turns out to be an evangelical's armor, drawing blood.
[13:20] * Reis tries to get a better view of him while she's shooting at him, too.
[13:21] <Alathon> Angel #1 takes a series of swings with its warpick at Mercury
[13:21] <Alathon> roll 1d20+33

[13:21] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+47+2 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{67}

[13:22] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+41+2-4 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{56}
[13:22] <Alathon> And succeeds at blocking all of them
[13:22] <Alathon> Angel #1 hesitates for a moment, before going after Mani, swinging its warpick for her head.

[13:23] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+37 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{41}

[13:23] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+35 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{38}

[13:23] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{47}

[13:23] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d10+10 AP 1 --> [ 1d10=8 ]{18}
[13:23] <Alathon> roll 1d8+10 AP 1
[13:23] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d8+10 AP 1 --> [ 1d8=4 ]{14}
[13:24] <Alathon> And both will penetrate armor.. at which point, you're shocked by massive bursts of electricity
[13:24] <Alathon> roll 2#5d8
[13:24] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#5d8 --> [ 5d8=30 ]{30}, [ 5d8=31 ]{31}
[13:24] <Reis> (... They're ripping off Mani.)
[13:24] <Alathon> (she's not the only being in the whole universe that can proc ;p )
[13:25] <Mani> (Is that initial damage 1d10+10 or 1d10+8?)
[13:25] <Alathon> (they greys do it too ;p )
[13:25] <Mani> (Er, 1d8+10)

[13:25] <Alathon> roll 1d10+10
[13:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d10+10 --> [ 1d10=6 ]{16}
[13:25] <Alathon> one was a crit, one was normal.. both were headhsots
[13:25] <Alathon> both are AP 1
[13:26] <Mani> (Well. Good thing I brought that up...)
[13:27] <Alathon> And.. that's end of the round, top of the order
[13:27] <Alathon> Sheena, you're up, and there's spinning metal in your face
[13:28] * Sheena flys up out the blender
[13:30] <Sheena> (do i need to redo protection or is that still up from last fight?)
[13:30] <Alathon> (if it's up you'd have been paying for it for several minutes)
[13:30] <Alathon> (so, y our call)
[13:31] * Sheena redoes her sheidl
[13:31] <Sheena> Dark Heart: protection.
[13:32] <Alathon> (alright)
[13:32] <Alathon> (btw when do you need to leave for that party?)
[13:32] <Sheena> (and with that i have to take off)
[13:32] <Alathon> (we can do a food break then so you miss as little as.. heh)
[13:32] <Reis> (Now, works. :P )
[13:32] <Alathon> (okay.. we finish this round, then food break)
[13:32] <Sheena> (Soon if im goign to show up at all)
[13:32] <Alathon> (actually fuckit)
[13:32] <Alathon> (I'm hungry too, I haven't had breakfast)
[13:32] <Reis> (Heh)
[13:32] <Alathon> Break now... after which, Mani is up
[13:32] <Sheena> (ok, ill be back asap, but it is a bit of a ride)
[13:32] <Alathon> we'll pick up on the hour
[13:32] <Kuonji> gotcha
[13:32] <Mani> (Can I regen during the break? ;) )
[13:33] <Mani> And long break.
[13:33] <Mani> Enough time to try a Zack & Wiki level. :)
[13:33] <Alathon> heh
[13:33] <Alathon> good.. on my end, I wanna go out and get a propper meal
[13:59] <Mani> Ok, I've figured out most of what I need to do. I just don't have enough time to do it now.
[13:59] <Reis> Heh.
[13:59] <Reis> And, I'm in too.
[14:01] <Kuonji> (bizzack)

[14:03] <Alathon> will be ~10 minutes
[14:03] <Reis> Gah.
[14:03] <Mani> Ow.
[14:03] <Mani> At least it was the old one.
[14:17] <Alathon> yeah
[14:17] <Alathon> if it were my new one I'd be fucking furious
[14:18] <Alathon> right now I'm just.. a little infuriated
[14:18] <Alathon> since I wasted 400 bucks to get the thing repaired so I could sell it in the first place, and now it's all messed up
[14:18] <Alathon> someone friggin rammed the hell out of it.. turned it 45 degrees in the parking spot, and shoved three other cars over, domino style
[14:19] <Alathon> supposedly it was a white suburban.. police have already been, I think everyone knows nothing will come of it without a license plate
[14:19] <Reis> Bloody hell, that sucks.
[14:19] <Alathon> anyways
[14:20] <Alathon> we all here now, except for sheena?

[14:20] <Reis> Yuppers.

[14:22] <Kuonji> yo
[14:23] <Alathon> alright
[14:23] <Alathon> we left off mid-combat, with Sheena having flew up out of the blade barrier, and put up a forcefield.
[14:23] <Alathon> Mani is up
[14:23] <Alathon> She's got an angel in her face, and her swords on the ground.

[14:24] <Alathon> roll 1d20+36+2
[14:24] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+36+2 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{49}
[14:24] <Alathon> It deflects both attacks with it's shield.

[14:26] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32+2 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{35}
[14:26] <Alathon> The angel is on the ball, sliding the attacks off with it's shield.. right up until she lands one perfectly square on it's center and through it.
[14:27] <Alathon> roll 4d8+10
[14:27] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 4d8+10 --> [ 4d8=17 ]{27}
[14:27] <Alathon> It's hurt by the spike, but not too badly.
[14:27] <Alathon> Kuonji, you're up
[14:27] * Kuonji jump attacks the same angel again
[14:27] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+30
[14:27] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{33}

[14:28] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34+2
[14:28] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34+2 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{46}
[14:28] <Alathon> This time, he gets the shield around fast enough to block the shadowsabre.
[14:28] <Alathon> Yuuno aims at the severely injured angel and shoots.
[14:28] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Shoot!"
[14:28] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30

[14:28] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{28}
[14:29] <Reis> (Uh... does Yuuno get out of the aura of blades?)
[14:29] <Alathon> (no)
[14:29] <Reis> (Gotcha)
[14:29] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32+2

[14:29] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28+2 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{38}
[14:29] <Alathon> Something a little scary happens.. cuz the Angel not only deflects the energy bolts, but spins them right back at Yuuno!
[14:30] <Alathon> roll 1d20+33 reflection
[14:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+33 reflection --> [ 1d20=10 ]{43}

[14:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 reflection --> [ 1d20=12 ]{40}
[14:30] <Alathon> roll 1d20+23 reflection
[14:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+23 reflection --> [ 1d20=18 ]{41}
[14:30] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Ack!"
[14:30] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[14:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{45}

[14:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{36}
[14:30] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[14:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{34}
[14:30] <Alathon> He only manages to dodge the first one
[14:30] <Mani> (She'd better hope her field doesn't go down in there...)
[14:30] <Alathon> roll 2#5d8+10
[14:30] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2#5d8+10 --> [ 5d8=26 ]{36}, [ 5d8=20 ]{30}
[14:30] <Alathon> Both attacks splash on the forcefield, but it weakens.
[14:31] * Reis blinks, glancing to see that. "Yuuno-sensei!"
[14:31] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'll be fine!"
[14:31] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Just take them down!"
[14:32] <Alathon> (er, She only manages to dodge.. ;p )
[14:32] <Alathon> roll 16d6
[14:32] * Reis nods, turning her focus back on the enemies.
[14:32] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 16d6 --> [ 16d6=66 ]{66}
[14:32] <Alathon> The blades continue whirling.. and shattering on Yuuno's forcefield, which continues to weaken.
[14:33] <Alathon> Evangelical: "LORD, gird my earthly frame with your indomitable strength!"
[14:34] <Alathon> He does something.. and begins to glow, wisps of white energy drifting up from his body
[14:34] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[14:34] * Reis frowns and teleports into place behind the Evangelist, slashing down in an attempt at removing his head.
[14:34] <Reis> roll 1d20+31
[14:34] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{44}

[14:35] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27 flatfooted dodge --> [ 1d20=12 ]{39}
[14:35] <Reis> (Hm? What's my caster level?)
[14:35] <Alathon> (2 * ranks of magic)
[14:35] <Reis> roll 1d20+16
[14:35] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{35}
[14:36] <Alathon> Your blade cuts right through the field of energy protecting him; roll damage
[14:36] <Reis> roll 8d10 AP 2
[14:36] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 8d10 AP 2 --> [ 8d10=40 ]{40}
[14:36] <Alathon> He looks awfully surprised.
[14:36] <Alathon> And pretty hurt, too.
[14:36] <Alathon> One angel unloads on Mani, the other on Mercury
[14:36] <Alathon> roll 1d20+33 at mani
[14:36] <Reis> "SCREW your lord."
[14:36] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+33 at mani --> [ 1d20=10 ]{43}
[14:36] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28

[14:37] <Alathon> roll 1d20+18
[14:37] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{38}
[14:37] <Alathon> (whoa, hot damn)
[14:37] <Alathon> (dodge two)
[14:37] <Mani> (Wait... he used up his full round attack on reflections.)
[14:37] <Alathon> (actually, you're right)
[14:37] <Alathon> (forgot, he doesn't have extra attacks for that)
[14:37] <Alathon> so, mani lucks out and odesn't get hit with two crits
[14:37] <Alathon> lets see about mercury
[14:37] <Alathon> roll 1d20+33
[14:37] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{53}
[14:37] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28
[14:37] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{34}
[14:37] <Alathon> roll 1d20+23
[14:37] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{27}
[14:38] <Alathon> roll 1d20+18
[14:38] <Reis> (...)
[14:38] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{25}
[14:38] <Alathon> (one crit, and three crap rolls)
[14:38] <Mani> (Can we have a dicebot reset?)
[14:38] <Alathon> roll 1d20+47+2
[14:38] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+47+2 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{50}
[14:38] <Alathon> (heh.. I should add an option to let people reseed the RNG)
[14:38] <Reis> (... Owie.)
[14:38] <Alathon> She tries to block the attack with her ice-bracer.. and her eyes widen as the pick shears through it.
[14:39] <Alathon> The subsequent attacks go through as well
[14:39] <Alathon> roll 2d8+10 AP 1
[14:39] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 2d8+10 AP 1 --> [ 2d8=14 ]{24}

[14:39] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#1d8+10 --> [ 1d8=4 ]{14}, [ 1d8=6 ]{16}, [ 1d8=7 ]{17}
[14:39] <Mani> (I didn't think critfailing a defense let all subsequent attacks go through. I could be misremembering, though.)
[14:39] <Kuonji> (resed RNG?)
[14:39] <Alathon> The first attack just barely pokes through her armor.. delivering a mighty jolt
[14:39] <Alathon> roll 5d8
[14:39] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 5d8 --> [ 5d8=28 ]{28}
[14:39] <Alathon> The other three don't penetrate
[14:40] <Alathon> She's forced back by the strength of the blows, however, and her hair frizzes a bit as the electricity flows through her body.
[14:41] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order.
[14:41] <Reis> roll 1d20+27
[14:42] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{32}
[14:42] <Mani> (Whazzat?)
[14:43] <Reis> (Knowledge Arcane roll)
[14:43] <Alathon> Sheena changes targets, gunning for the Evangelical.
[14:43] <Alathon> Sheena: "You clal that a nattack, Ill show you a realone!"
[14:43] <Mani> (Well, I'm glad she's not attacking those dead soldiers again. :) )
[14:44] <Reis> (Uh... wait a sec, is she gonna fire a spreading attack while I'm right behind him?)
[14:44] <Alathon> Sheena: "Dark Heart.. twilight Rondo!"
[14:45] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27+4
[14:46] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27+4 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{34}

[14:46] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+22+4 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{39}
[14:46] <Alathon> roll 1d20+17+4
[14:46] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+17+4 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{23}
[14:46] <Alathon> Three swarms of purple-black specks of energy streak towards the evangelical.
[14:46] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[14:46] * Mani scowls and attacks the angel.
[14:46] <Mani> roll 1d20+33
[14:46] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{43}
[14:46] <Mani> roll 1d20+28
[14:46] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{45}
[14:46] <Mani> roll 1d20+23
[14:46] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{39}
[14:46] <Mani> roll 1d20+18
[14:46] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{32}
[14:47] <Mani> roll 1d20+33
[14:47] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{36}
[14:47] <Mani> (Done)
[14:47] <Alathon> roll 1d20+38+2
[14:47] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+38+2 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{58}
[14:47] <Alathon> roll 1d20+26+2
[14:47] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+26+2 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{46}
[14:47] <Alathon> (er, 36)
[14:47] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34+2
[14:47] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34+2 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{56}
[14:47] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32+2
[14:47] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32+2 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{54}
[14:47] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30+2
[14:47] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30+2 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{33}
[14:47] <Mani> (About that dicebot reset...)
[14:47] <Mani> roll 1d10+9 AP1
[14:47] <Alathon> It's going so well, dodging every one of them.. right up until Mani's sword slides past the shield, gashing it's arm, and cutting one of the shield straps as well.
[14:47] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d10+9 AP1 --> [ 1d10=3 ]{12}
[14:47] <Alathon> Penetrates
[14:48] <Mani> roll 3d8
[14:48] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=16 ]{16}
[14:48] <Reis> (Wow, the crappiest roll was the one that actually hit.)
[14:48] <Alathon> It's very, very close to falling.. it's barely on it's feet.
[14:49] <Alathon> Mercury steps back a little, and changes her strategy..
[14:49] <Alathon> She reaches her arms rather oddly, as if cradling somethign.. and a blue white harp of ice appears.
[14:49] <Alathon> As she strums it, three jets of what look to be rapidly freezing water streak out from the strings towards the angel a few feet from her.
[14:49] <Mani> (How does it sound?)
[14:50] <Kuonji> (heh)
[14:50] <Alathon> Like a well tuned harp, strummed once
[14:50] <Alathon> roll 1d20+42
[14:50] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+42 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{56}
[14:50] <Alathon> roll 1d20+37
[14:50] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+37 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{48}
[14:50] <Alathon> roll 1d20+32
[14:50] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+32 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{41}
[14:50] <Alathon> The angel, lacking its shield, can't reflect them.. and so tries to dodge.
[14:50] <Alathon> roll 1d20+38
[14:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+38 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{39}
[14:51] <Alathon> It only realizes that it can't use it's shield at the last minute, and doesn't have time to get outta the way.. of any of them.
[14:51] <Mani> (Ah, the dicebot thinks the angels switched sides.)
[14:51] <Reis> (And fails miserably)
[14:51] <Alathon> roll 3#9d8
[14:51] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 3#9d8 --> [ 9d8=43 ]{43}, [ 9d8=36 ]{36}, [ 9d8=35 ]{35}
[14:51] <Alathon> roll 1d20+10
[14:52] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{12}
[14:52] <Alathon> The force of the blasts of ice send it skidding away from mercury
[14:53] <Alathon> It looks pretty battered after that, but still ready for af ight.
[14:53] <Alathon> Kuonji, you're up
[14:54] * Kuonji tries a horizontal slash followed by a stab
[14:54] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+30
[14:54] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{33}
[14:55] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+25
[14:55] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{34}
[14:55] <Kuonji> (-_-)
[14:55] <Alathon> roll 1d20+28
[14:55] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{29}
[14:55] <Alathon> wow
[14:55] <Reis> (Heheheh)
[14:55] <Kuonji> (hah!)
[14:55] <Alathon> It doesn't even see them coming, distracted by mani; roll damage
[14:55] <Mani> (Toldja. ;) )
[14:55] <Reis> (They've critfailed three defences in a row... just, wow.)
[14:55] <Kuonji> roll 2#6d8
[14:55] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 2#6d8 --> [ 6d8=29 ]{29}, [ 6d8=26 ]{26}
[14:56] <Alathon> As your first slash shears through it.. you feel a sudden lessening of resistance.
[14:56] <Alathon> The entire thing, body, weapon, shield and all.. vanishes into a spray of golden motes of light.
[14:56] <Alathon> Your second slash cuts air.
[14:56] <Mani> "Very nice."
[14:56] <Kuonji> "What the hell?"
[14:56] <Alathon> A fine mist of dust settles to the ground where it was
[14:57] <Alathon> It kinda sparkles
[14:57] <Reis> (Well, it IS a Sailor Moon monster of the week.)
[14:57] <Reis> (Congrats Kuonji, you're the first of us to moondust a MotW!)
[14:57] <Alathon> It must run in the family
[14:57] <Alathon> Anyways.. Yuuno switches from that one, to the one fighting Mercury
[14:58] <Alathon> roll 1d20+30
[14:58] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{39}
[14:58] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25
[14:58] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{41}
[14:58] <Alathon> roll 1d20+20
[14:58] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{40}
[14:58] <Alathon> One of his shots is just plain perfect; the other two, the angel tries to dodge.
[14:58] <Alathon> roll 1d20+36
[14:58] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+36 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{45}
[14:58] <Alathon> roll 1d20+34
[14:58] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+34 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{51}
[14:58] <Alathon> And dodges with alacrity
[14:58] <Alathon> roll 10d8+10
[14:58] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 10d8+10 --> [ 10d8=38 ]{48}
[14:58] <Alathon> The one shot that connects, though, is telling
[14:59] <Alathon> Reis, the Evangelical you're fighting turns to you.. his hand arcing with black power.
[14:59] <Alathon> "LORD, let your divine might SMITE this unholy spawn!"
[14:59] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27+6
[14:59] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27+6 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{44}
[15:00] <Alathon> He reaches out and tries tot ouch you
[15:00] <Reis> roll 1d20+35
[15:00] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+35 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{41}
[15:01] <Alathon> will save, DC 21
[15:01] <Reis> roll 1d20+11
[15:01] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{27}
[15:01] <Alathon> 75 damage
[15:01] <Reis> (Shield's back up.)
[15:01] <Reis> (And back down.)
[15:01] <Alathon> He looks mighty pissed as the energy slides along your body, not inflicting mortal wounds.
[15:02] * Reis cocks her head at him, and starts endeavouring to sever his head from his shoulders. (Only the first strike is the vibrating blade though)
[15:02] <Kuonji> (Where's your God now?
[15:02] <Reis> roll 1d20+31
[15:02] <Alathon> Reis is up
[15:02] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{33}
[15:02] <Reis> roll 1d20+26
[15:02] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{39}
[15:02] <Reis> roll 1d20+21
[15:02] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{31}
[15:02] <Reis> roll 1d20+16
[15:02] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{27}
[15:03] <Alathon> roll 1d20+31+2
[15:03] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+31+2 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{42}
[15:03] <Alathon> roll 1d20+29+2
[15:03] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+29+2 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{40}
[15:03] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27+2
[15:03] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27+2 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{44}
[15:03] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25+2
[15:03] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25+2 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{41}
[15:03] <Alathon> He knocks them all aside with shieldblocks
[15:03] * Reis smiles. "Behind you."
[15:03] <Alathon> Evangelical: "You'll not find this servant of the LORD such an easy mark, harlot!"
[15:04] * Reis cocks her head. "Why do you people yell all the time? Who are you trying to convince?"
[15:04] * Reis is still waiting on the twilight rondo coming in from behind him :P
[15:04] <Alathon> Mercury's Angel, on seeing Kuonji dust the other one, gives a shout of rage and practically blurs across the pavement to attack Kuonji
[15:05] <Alathon> roll 1d20+33 headshot
[15:05] <Kuonji> "Oh shi-"
[15:05] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+33 headshot --> [ 1d20=14 ]{47}
[15:05] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+37
[15:05] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+37 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{45}
[15:05] <Alathon> And Kuonji is just a smidge too slow
[15:05] <Alathon> roll 1d10+10
[15:05] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d10+10 --> [ 1d10=6 ]{16}

[15:05] <Alathon> (.... right)
[15:06] <Alathon> anyways
[15:06] <Kuonji> (...)
[15:06] <Alathon> 32 total damage makes it through your armor and the CT armor
[15:06] <Reis> (... Wow, that's impressive.)
[15:06] <Alathon> As a lightning proc courses through your body.
[15:06] <Alathon> aaaaand.. Sheena's energy bolts streak towards the evangelical
[15:07] <Kuonji> (there is nothing random about your dice bot)
[15:07] <Alathon> Who having thoughfully been warned by Reis, turns a little to try to deflect the energy attacks.
[15:07] <Kuonji> (it has some sort of sick sense of humor)
[15:07] <Alathon> roll 1d20+23+2
[15:07] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+23+2 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{43}

[15:07] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+19+2 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{30}
[15:07] <Reis> (Damn, I was trying to leave that timing as 'warn him the moment it hits' :P )
[15:07] <Alathon> And deflects all three of the energy blasts.
[15:08] <Alathon> Instead of just dissipating, however, they curve andc ome back at him.
[15:08] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order.
[15:08] <Alathon> Sheena: "you like three will try six!"
[15:08] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27+4

[15:08] <Alathon> Three more swarms of energy bolts streak towards him
[15:09] <Alathon> Mani, you're up
[15:09] <Alathon> You've got an angel practically in front of you, attacking Kuonji
[15:09] <Mani> (How badly hurt does it look?)
[15:11] * Mani heals herself then attacks it once.
[15:11] <Mani> roll 1d20+33
[15:11] <AlaBot> Mani rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{35}
[15:11] <Alathon> roll 1d20+38
[15:11] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+38 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{57}
[15:11] <Alathon> It evades the attack
[15:12] <Alathon> Mercury forms her ice spike again, and leaps into the air, aiming for the angel fighting Mani and Kuonji
[15:12] <Alathon> roll 1d20+42
[15:12] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+42 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{47}
[15:12] <Alathon> roll 1d20+36
[15:12] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+36 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{39}
[15:12] <Alathon> Which can't evade shit
[15:13] <Kuonji> (?)
[15:13] <Alathon> roll 4d8+10+42
[15:13] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 4d8+10+42 --> [ 4d8=12 ]{64}
[15:13] <Alathon> This time, her strike is true, and she slams it down into the torso of the angel, and quickly withdraws it. It's really hurting now.
[15:13] <Reis> (Wow, suck roll, but that still hurts)
[15:14] <Alathon> actually
[15:14] <Alathon> it's gone
[15:14] <Alathon> not quite enough armor to sustain that strike, and it vanishes in a spray of golden sparklies as well.. mist coating the ground where it stood.
[15:14] <Kuonji> (aww, I was hoping I could get a line in and kill it myself... oh well)
[15:14] <Kuonji> "Never seen 'em do THAT before."
[15:14] <Alathon> Kuonji is up; the only obvious hostile remaining is up on the rooftop fighting Reis
[15:15] <Kuonji> (how many feet away?)
[15:15] <Alathon> like a couple dozen.. you can jump it
[15:15] <Alathon> or teleport it
[15:15] <Kuonji> (as in jump to it or jump attack it?)
[15:15] <Alathon> either
[15:16] <Kuonji> (can I make out reis position? and what directions sheena's blasts will be coming in?)
[15:16] <Alathon> (yes, and they're the homing ones)
[15:16] <Alathon> You can't really tell for sure
[15:16] <Alathon> they tend to curve around a bit
[15:17] * Kuonji jump attacks the evangelical and attempts to angle his landing on to what he believes is a clear side
[15:18] <Alathon> (rollit)
[15:18] * Reis maneuvers around from where Kuonji's coming in, attempting to box the eva in between the two of them. (Presuming my thermal vision can see him)
[15:18] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+37
[15:18] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+37 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{40}
[15:18] <Alathon> (the roof would block your line of sight until he's up there)
[15:18] <Alathon> (and you hafta move on your turn ;p )
[15:18] <Kuonji> (sigh)
[15:18] <Reis> (Ah, all righty)
[15:18] <Alathon> roll 1d20+31
[15:18] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{49}
[15:19] <Kuonji> (fucking hell)
[15:19] <Alathon> (er, that's +27 actually, since flatfooted)
[15:19] <Alathon> (etiher way)
[15:19] <Alathon> Something warns him, and he has time to get outta the way.. just barely)
[15:19] <Alathon> (er, +37?)
[15:19] <Alathon> (thought it was +30?)
[15:19] <Kuonji> (it is)
[15:20] <Alathon> Anyways.. he evades the leap attack
[15:20] <Kuonji> (I fucked up)
[15:20] <Alathon> (ahh, nm)
[15:20] <Kuonji> (and rolled my dodge roll)
[15:20] <Reis> (Heh)
[15:20] <Alathon> He remains focused on Reis, and raises his hand again, speaking an invocation to the lord.. this time, rather than arcing with black energy, it glows that way.
[15:20] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27+6
[15:20] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27+6 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{43}
[15:20] <Alathon> DR
[15:20] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27+6
[15:20] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27+6 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{41}
[15:20] <Alathon> (haha)
[15:21] <Alathon> (well, it's still 43 to dodge)
[15:21] <Reis> (... Wait, wha? Why'd he DR a decent roll?)
[15:21] <Reis> roll 1d20+35
[15:21] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+35 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{47}
[15:21] <Mani> (Because he *really* hates you and has plenty to spare?)
[15:21] <Reis> (Heh)
[15:21] <Alathon> Reis evades the attack, and the glow on his hand fades.
[15:21] <Alathon> Reis, you're up
[15:21] <Reis> (Eh? Where's Yuuno?)
[15:22] <Alathon> Yuuno flew out of the blades and took cover ;p
[15:22] <Reis> (Excellent move :P )
[15:22] * Reis continues slashing and stabbing for various precious parts, only the first strike being charged.
[15:22] <Reis> roll 1d20+31
[15:22] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+31 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{44}
[15:22] <Reis> roll 1d20+26
[15:23] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{39}
[15:23] <Reis> roll 1d20+21
[15:23] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{34}
[15:23] <Reis> roll 1d20+16
[15:23] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{18}
[15:23] <Alathon> roll 1d20+31+2
[15:23] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+31+2 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{52}
[15:23] <Alathon> roll 1d20+29+2
[15:23] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+29+2 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{50}
[15:23] <Alathon> roll 1d20+27+2
[15:23] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+27+2 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{32}
[15:23] <Alathon> roll 1d20+25+2
[15:23] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+25+2 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{46}
[15:23] <Reis> roll 1d10
[15:23] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d10 --> [ 1d10=6 ]{6}
[15:23] <Alathon> Only one of the strikes makes it past his shield
[15:23] <Reis> (Ping.)
[15:23] <Alathon> And it just digs against his armor.
[15:23] <Alathon> now he has to dodge the six energy attacks
[15:23] <Alathon> first, last rounds
[15:23] <Alathon> roll 1d20+23+2
[15:23] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+23+2 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{36}
[15:23] <Alathon> roll 1d20+21+2
[15:23] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+21+2 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{34}
[15:24] <Alathon> roll 1d20+19+2
[15:24] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+19+2 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{34}
[15:24] <Alathon> It blocks two of the three
[15:24] <Alathon> roll 1d20+17+2
[15:24] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+17+2 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{28}
[15:24] <Alathon> roll 1d20+15+2
[15:24] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+15+2 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{29}
[15:24] <Alathon> roll 1d20+13+2
[15:24] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+13+2 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{24}
[15:25] <Alathon> But the next three, that sheena launched this round, it just can't handle.
[15:25] <Alathon> roll 4#5d8+4
[15:25] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 4#5d8+4 --> [ 5d8=25 ]{29}, [ 5d8=20 ]{24}, [ 5d8=24 ]{28}, [ 5d8=20 ]{24}
[15:25] <Alathon> He shudders under the energy attacks, as they slam into him.
[15:26] <Alathon> He's in pretty bad condition now.
[15:26] <Alathon> End of round, top of the order.
[15:26] <Alathon> Sheena switches Dark Heart into Strike Flame mode, and is done.
[15:26] <Alathon> Mani is up.
[15:27] <Mani> (Mm. Can I see what sort of shape the eva is in?)
[15:27] <Alathon> Not really, but you've seen it take a couple nasty hits
[15:27] <Mani> (And is there room for me to attack, in any case?)
[15:27] <Alathon> um.. if you really wanna, yeah
[15:28] <Alathon> though you'd risk being in sheena's firing path
[15:28] * Mani holds action.
[15:29] <Alathon> Mercury leaps up towards the evangelical, and comes down with an ice spike aimed at his head.
[15:29] <Alathon> roll 1d20+42
[15:29] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+42 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{46}
[15:29] <Alathon> roll 1d20+31+2
[15:29] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 1d20+31+2 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{38}
[15:29] <Alathon> He doesn't see it coming..
[15:29] <Alathon> roll 4d8+10+42
[15:29] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled 4d8+10+42 --> [ 4d8=16 ]{68}
[15:29] <Alathon> and gets a new hole in his helm.
[15:29] <Alathon> (dead)
[15:30] <Alathon> Mercury immediately moves toward the cathedral, and starts looking for a way through the rubble.
[15:30] * Reis blinks, lowering her sword for a moment and looking around to see if there are any further signs of opposition.
[15:30] <Mani> "Does anyone need healing?"
[15:31] <Kuonji> "Mercury-sama, why don't we just teleport in?"
[15:31] <Alathon> Sheena lands, still glowing darkly.
[15:31] <Alathon> Sheena: "Nah im good."
[15:31] <Mani> "Anything magic on the body, Sheena?"
[15:31] <Alathon> Mercury looks over at Kuonji.
[15:31] <Alathon> Mercury: "Long experience has shown blind teleporting into hostile areas to be a costly endeavor."
[15:31] <Kuonji> "X-ray vision."
[15:31] <Kuonji> "Give me a minute."
[15:31] <Alathon> Mercury: "Besides which.. it should not be difficult to make our own entrance on the side."
[15:32] * Kuonji will scope the building out
[15:32] <Alathon> There's a few people inside.. they seem to be huddled (praying?) near the cross.
[15:32] <Kuonji> "I suppose that is one of the benefits of massive strength or firepower."
[15:32] * Reis floats down from the roof and towards the church area again.
[15:32] <Kuonji> "OK... I see some people huddled near the cross."
[15:32] <Kuonji> (do they have weapons on them?)
[15:32] <Alathon> Mercury: "All of you, wait out here; I will be back shortly."
[15:32] <Alathon> (you can't tell)
[15:33] <Kuonji> (anything else?)
[15:33] <Alathon> (not that's useful)
[15:33] <Alathon> (You can certainly see the cross )
[15:33] * Reis nods and backs away so Mercury doesn't fly into her.
[15:33] <Alathon> Mercury will blur over to the side of the Cathedral building, and procede to make her own entrace with the ice spike.
[15:34] <Sheena> (back, Sorry about taking so long. They wouldnt let me go thill i finshed a load a pitcure of margrates)
[15:34] <Reis> (Heh, welcome back Sheens)
[15:34] <Sheena> (That was one badass ninja party! It was like they jacked a mecian one and dumped in a load of metillica)
[15:35] <Alathon> (hahahaha)
[15:35] <Alathon> (Glad it was fun)
[15:36] <Alathon> Mercury leaps out the hole she made just thirty seconds ago, and sprints out onto the street.
[15:36] <Alathon> Mercury, loudly: "Fire in the hole!"
[15:37] * Mani makes sure she's not near the hole or anything that might fall on her.
[15:37] * Reis starts moving away.
[15:37] * Sheena takes cover on the side of the street
[15:37] <Alathon> Yuuno, who was looking up standing on a roof, ducks behind a chimney.
[15:38] <Alathon> There's a loud thump.. and those with magic sight will see a huge flash as well.
[15:39] * Reis winces... and blinks in surprise.
[15:39] <Sheena> (*beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* "Mommy, why is the cross making that funny sound" "Its a message from god dear" *beeeeeeeeeBOOOM* )
[15:40] <Alathon> There's a few shouts of exultation from nearby windows after the cathedral collapses entirely.
[15:40] <Alathon> "Fuck yeah!"
[15:40] <Alathon> "Yeah baby, yeah!"
[15:40] <Alathon> And suchlike.
[15:40] <Sheena> "Wooo... huh?"
[15:40] * Sheena looks up from her cover
[15:40] * Kuonji blinks
[15:40] <Mani> "Occupied territory."
[15:40] <Alathon> There are people looking out windows, wherever there's residential buildings
[15:40] <Kuonji> "Ah, right."
[15:40] * Reis looks over, raising an eyebrow. "Well... puppet state, not very popular."
[15:40] <Alathon> And they range between stunned and thrilled.
[15:41] * Mani collected her other sword, btw.
[15:41] <Alathon> Mercury: "Indeed. Mani, do you believe your team is in sufficient health to procede to the fourth target?"
[15:41] <Alathon> (nod)
[15:42] * Mani looks around.
[15:42] <Alathon> (people, describe your condition)
[15:42] <Sheena> "Good to go, here"
[15:42] <Sheena> (no idea!)
[15:42] <Alathon> Yuuno flies down, and is uninjured.
[15:42] <Mani> "Does anyone here have wounds that won't heal themselves within a few minutes?"
[15:42] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'm fine."
[15:42] * Reis looks fairly tired, but still energetic enough to work, and only slightly injured and getting better by the second.
[15:42] <Mani> (How long has it been since the last fight ended, btw?)
[15:43] <Kuonji> "I should be all healed up in a few."
[15:44] * Reis purses her lips. "Condition aside, it seems the mercenaries are starting to mobilize."
[15:44] <Mani> "I think we should be fine, provided we have a few minutes before we have to fight."
[15:45] <Kuonji> "What was with the light show those two angels put on?"
[15:46] <Sheena> "Ya, didnt leave ungly grey bodyes behind this time"
[15:46] <Kuonji> (hang on afk)
[15:47] <Alathon> (not very long, like 30 seconds)
[15:47] <Alathon> Mercury: "I do not believe they were the mercenaries we have faced previously."
[15:48] <Alathon> Mercury quickly walks over to where one of the angels dies, and pulls some sort of swab out of nowhere and scrapes in the angel dust, before stashing it nowhere."
[15:48] <Alathon> Mercury: "Gather here."
[15:48] * Mani gathers.
[15:48] * Reis nods and steps over.
[15:49] <Alathon> She movres in with the rest of the party.
[15:49] <Alathon> Yuuno gathers as well.
[15:49] <Alathon> Mercury: "Reis, Sheena, how many combination attacks of the magnitude you used against the embassy, do you believe you have the strength to carry out?"
[15:50] * Reis purses her lips. "If I'm ready to knock myself out, I'll be able to do about four or five. I'll be worthless afterward though."
[15:50] <Alathon> Mercury: "We will be withdrawing immediately afterwards. Sheena?"
[15:50] * Reis shakes her head. "I only have enough cartridges for two though."
[15:51] <Sheena> "I can handle that output"
[15:51] <Sheena> "I have more shells reis"
[15:51] <Reis> (Actually, retcon that line, I miscounted what I had anyway :P )
[15:53] <Sheena> "As long as we don't push past the cutoff i can give melee support as well if needed"
[15:53] <Sheena> (damn mercs nasty)
[15:54] <Kuonji> (back)
[15:56] <Alathon> Mercury: "Right."
[15:57] <Alathon> Mercury: "Change of plans; We teleport to the insertion point, fly over the fourth objective, flatten as much of it as possible, and withdraw."
[15:57] <Alathon> Mercury: "... my gut feeling is that we should leave this place with haste."
[15:57] * Mani nods.
[15:57] <Alathon> Mercury: "Are you all prepared?"
[15:57] * Reis nods. "Yes ma'am."
[15:58] <Sheena> "ready"
[15:58] <Kuonji> "Yes, Mercury-sama"
[15:58] <Mani> "Yes."
[15:58] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yes."
[15:58] <Alathon> The air fills with blue-white sparklies... and it's dark.
[15:58] <Alathon> You're back in the copse you started in, and this time, Reis isn't glowing.
[15:58] <Alathon> It's damned near pitch black.
[15:59] <Alathon> Mercury: "Kuonji, change."
[16:00] <Mani> (Oh, no! Grues!)
[16:00] <Mani> (Ah, Mercury saw the danger, too.)
[16:00] <Kuonji> "Hai."
[16:00] * Kuonji deinvises, strips and stores his stuff, and hands reis a canteen
[16:00] <Alathon> Mercury: "Unison or not, as you see fit."
[16:00] * Reis holds the canteen, and will pour when Kuonji indicates.
[16:01] * Kuonji changes
[16:01] <Kuonji> "Well Reis, should we unison?"
[16:02] <Alathon> (Reis: "mmm.. yes.. I need you inside me, Sakura!")
[16:02] * Reis purses her lips. "I'd appreciate the help, but are you in good enough shape for it?"
[16:02] <Reis> (Heh)
[16:04] <Kuonji> "Well, I can boost a few more attacks, and I can steal take damage for you."
[16:04] * Kuonji will fly over to Reis and initiate a unison
[16:04] * Reis nods. "All right then, thank you."
[16:04] * Mani shifts for easy carrying and hovers nearby.
[16:05] * Reis breathes in as the union triggers, and glances over at Mani. "I'm ready, Mani."
[16:05] <Alathon> (its a devil cat. KILL IT!)
[16:06] <Alathon> Reis is once again shiny.
[16:06] <Alathon> and the copse is lit dimly by her sparkliness
[16:06] <Alathon> Mercury: "Follow me."
[16:06] <Alathon> Mercury will fly straight up.
[16:06] * Sheena floats a bit and gets ready to.. well jets after merc it seems
[16:06] * Mani has Reis carry her.
[16:06] * Reis holds Mani on her shoulder and proceeds to follow Merc.
[16:08] <Alathon> Mercury flies quickly, and stops abruptly.
[16:08] <Alathon> As you look down, Atlanta is off a bit to the side.
[16:08] <Alathon> And seems to be brightening, as more andm ore lights come on.
[16:09] * Reis looks around, restarting her shield before things get loud again.
[16:09] <Alathon> Yuuno does so as well.
[16:09] <Alathon> There are lights below you as well, though not terribly bright.. but you can, with some effort, make out the outlines of rows of buildings.
[16:09] <Alathon> Mercury: "That one first.. then those, then those.."
[16:10] <Alathon> She points out clusters of buildings she wants flattened.
[16:10] * Mani moves away from Reis.
[16:11] * Reis nods, prepping cartridges.
[16:11] <Kuonji> (ok you said I had 15 ep as sakura... how much in unison)
[16:11] <Kuonji> (?)
[16:11] <Reis> (Area? How much would it take to flatten, one cartridge or two?)
[16:11] <Alathon> (35)
[16:14] <Alathon> well
[16:15] <Alathon> what now?
[16:15] <Sheena> Dark heart: A targeting solution has been queued. Objective: Flatten, obliterate, Scorched earth?
[16:15] * Sheena pulls some shells and moves into place
[16:15] <Reis> (Dunno how many cartridges to load to blow up e

[Alathon]

Session 68 - part 2

[16:15] <Reis> (Dunno how many cartridges to load to blow up each building cluster)
[16:15] <Alathon> this is a large area.. I'd recommend two per)
[16:16] * Reis borrows a few AE cartridges from Sheena, and moves into her own position, bringing Swordbreaker back.
[16:16] <Sheena> (we got about 4 shots them)
[16:17] <Alathon> then rollem up.. don't botch ;p
[16:17] <Reis> (Jawohl, I've got two shots with my own carts, more if I borrow from you as I did :P )
[16:17] <Sheena> (my roll first? then switch?)
[16:17] <Alathon> you're aiming at static targets, so all you really need to do is not botch
[16:17] <Sheena> (errr botch.. did you use that dr?)
[16:17] <Reis> (Nope.)
[16:17] <Sheena> (oh good)
[16:17] <Reis> (You've still got it. Don't blow me up.)
[16:17] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+27 Scorched earth it is.
[16:17] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 Scorched earth it is. --> [ 1d20=17 ]{44}
[16:18] <Alathon> You flatten the first target.
[16:18] <Reis> (Sending one area burst at each cluster? We've got two attacks after all)
[16:18] <Alathon> Mercury points out the next.
[16:18] <Alathon> The first one was a large cluster of two and three story buildings.. administrative, maybe?
[16:18] <Alathon> this second one is a long series of rows of single story buildings.. barracks, probably.
[16:19] <Kuonji> (or mercury is having us kill the civilans of this occupied town for not rebelling and simply accepting their lot)
[16:19] * Sheena is wide eyed is breathing faster from the power flow, even as she calls up more.
[16:19] * Reis forms the spinning triangle underneath her, and swings Swordbreaker, unleashing a stream of power at the second target.
[16:19] <Sheena> "All right! next"
[16:19] <Alathon> Mercury: "It's unfortunate we don't have the time to be more particular.. however, this is a UST recruiting center."
[16:19] <Reis> roll 1d20+29 My turn to not botch.
[16:19] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+29 My turn to not botch. --> [ 1d20=13 ]{42}
[16:20] <Alathon> Mercury: "If they don't get a 'fair fight' with us, and die in their sleep.. well, Sun Tzu would be proud."
[16:20] <Alathon> You blow away most of the buildings
[16:20] <Alathon> She points to the next long double-row
[16:20] <Alathon> There's four total.. it looks like you'll only get half.
[16:21] * Reis turns and prepares to fire on Sheena's mark.
[16:21] <Mani> "Fair fights are for duels, not war."
[16:21] <Alathon> Not all of them are sleeping.. there's movement below, and several shots are fired up, but they don't come close to anyone.
[16:21] * Sheena pulls more dark into dark heart and herself as she rips another shot off
[16:21] <Sheena> Roll 1d20+27
[16:21] <AlaBot> Sheena rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{36}
[16:21] * Reis purses her lips. "They declared it... and they're the ones opting to fight, fairness wasn't part of the rules."
[16:22] <Alathon> this third blast finishes off the second row in entirety;; it was slightly shorted, just enough that the radius of the blast encompasses all the buildings. They're gone.
[16:22] <Kuonji> "Fair and fights don't go together, not even in duels."
[16:22] <Kuonji> (well, only Reis hears that)
[16:22] <Alathon> Mercury: "Right, then. Let's be going."
[16:22] <Sheena> "hoooo.. anything goes"
[16:22] <Alathon> The air fills with blue-white sparks...
[16:23] <Alathon> The cracks of rifle shots below become louder, as more and more shots are fired into the air.
[16:23] <Alathon> A few whiz nearby, but none connect.
[16:23] * Sheena brings dark heart across her in a guard, the gem is glowing brightly from the fighting.
[16:23] <Alathon> And... with an unpleasant twisting jolt in the unending blackness, you reappear on the telepad.
[16:23] * Reis nods. "Out of cartridges, so I suppose that's it for now..."
[16:24] <Alathon> You're apparently the first to return.
[16:24] * Reis winces at the sensation, and lowers her sword from its guard position.
[16:24] <Alathon> Serenity lets out a held breath as she sees Mercury and the rest of you.
[16:24] <Alathon> Mercury: "We got the first three, and most of the boot camp."
[16:24] * Kuonji deunisons
[16:24] <Alathon> Mercury: "I got a bad vibe on staying longer."
[16:25] * Reis looks around, breathing deeply.
[16:25] * Sheena stops floating and leans on dark heart a bit, taking her glases and mask off, then a deep breath.
[16:25] * Mani assumes human form.
[16:25] <Alathon> Serenity is about to respond, then watches the de-unison with interest, as does Endymion.
[16:25] * Kuonji will wait for a pause before asking for hot water
[16:25] <Alathon> After a moment, she speaks.
[16:25] <Alathon> Serenity: "Understandable.. and we are glad to see you all back in one piece."
[16:26] * Reis will go to get Kuonji his water.
[16:26] <Alathon> Serenity snaps her fingers, and you're briefly under a raincloud about two feet wide.
[16:26] <Alathon> And drenched with warm water.
[16:26] <Alathon> She then giggles, for just a moment, before sobering up.
[16:26] <Alathon> Serenity walks over."
[16:26] * Reis blinks. "... Thank you, your majesty?" (I probably got caught in it too :P )
[16:26] <Alathon> Serenity: "Allow me to see to those.."
[16:27] <Alathon> She'll be quick about healing your wounds, at 150 hp a pop it only takes her a few moments for each of you
[16:27] * Kuonji is now in soaked while wearing incredibly tight spandex esque clothes
[16:27] * Reis is mostly okay, and visibly getting better, three minutes would more or less do it even without her.
[16:28] * Sheena is now healed, and still pumped from blowing shit up
[16:28] <Alathon> It feels.. remarkably similar to Usagi's healing.
[16:28] <Sheena> "Thank you'
[16:28] <Alathon> Serenity: "You're welcome, Sheena."
[16:29] <Alathon> She pauses for a moment, looking at Sheena.. almost looking for something, before moving on to the next party member.
[16:29] <Kuonji> (a soul?)
[16:29] <Sheena> (Gah, she knows my name! *runs*
[16:29] <Kuonji> (Sakura: "Mommy?")
[16:30] <Alathon> Endymion: "Remember, we're splitting this.. if you're going to do the first two teams entirely, I've got the second two."
[16:30] <Kuonji> (Serenity: For the last time, I'm not your mother!)
[16:30] <Alathon> Serenity looks vaguely annoyed, but it passes.
[16:30] <Kuonji> ("...I'm not your grandmother either, it's coincidence, get over it!")
[16:30] <Sheena> (Endymion: Stop hoggin the xp damn it!)
[16:31] * Kuonji looks surprised but says nothing
[16:31] <Alathon> Mercury: "I'll be at my post for the duration."
[16:32] <Alathon> She walks to the door, then turns to face the team.
[16:32] <Alathon> Mercury: "Good fighting; in my estimation, your performance was commendable."
[16:32] * Reis smiles. "Thank you, ma'am."
[16:33] * Kuonji looks like he isn't paying too much attention
[16:33] * Mani lets Reis speak for the group.
[16:34] <Alathon> Mercury then walks out, quickly.
[16:34] <Reis> (Poor Mercury lost her gun :P )
[16:34] <Alathon> It's not long before another pair of senshi take her place.. almost at the same time, Mars and Venus arrive, with their teams in tow."
[16:34] * Sheena stands up strgher, droping the fuku change and slings dark heart across her back
[16:35] * Reis looks over the teams - how do they look?
[16:35] <Alathon> Both look to be in fairly good condition; Serenity tends to Mars' people, and Endymion to Venus'.
[16:35] <Sheena> "Thats a good thign right?"
[16:35] * Sheena asked mani
[16:35] <Alathon> They each give a report; short version, mission completed.
[16:35] <Mani> "Yes."
[16:36] <Sheena> (serenity was looking at sheena funny caus she was in the fuku..)
[16:36] * Kuonji waves to Venus
[16:36] <Alathon> She's distracted for a moment, then notices it, and smiles, waving back briefly.
[16:36] <Kuonji> (Sakura was looking at serenity funny for reasons that may or may not be mentioned later)
[16:37] * Reis blinkblinks and lets down her barrier jacket, sword back to cross and on her neck.
[16:37] * Mani checks to make sure the party isn't in the way.
[16:38] <Alathon> I'm assuming you're getting outta the middle of the telepad.
[16:38] <Kuonji> (so, we just waiting on jupiter?)
[16:38] <Alathon> Yeah.
[16:38] <Alathon> Both the senshi take their teams with them, leaving the room.
[16:39] * Reis gets out of the way if she's in it.
[16:40] <Kuonji> "So... is there somewhere we need to go for debriefing or something?"
[16:40] * Kuonji is looking to Mani
[16:40] <Mani> "Excuse me, your majesty, is there anything else required of us?"
[16:40] <Sheena> "Should we wait for the last team? We need need to leave fast for support"
[16:40] <Alathon> Serenity: "There should not be."
[16:41] <Alathon> Serenity: "And, Makoto's team should be back --"
[16:41] <Alathon> Right about now.
[16:41] * Reis blinks at the timing.
[16:41] <Alathon> Except there's only three of them, counting Jupiter, who collapses to the floor as soon as they come through.
[16:41] <Alathon> One of them is unconscious, the other staggering carrying her.
[16:42] <Alathon> The unconscious one is Amiko.. it look like.. well, something tore her guts out.
[16:42] <Alathon> Jupiter's in a bad way as well; the reason she couldn't keep her feet is obvious.
[16:42] * Mani goes to heal whichever one the monarchs don't go to.
[16:42] <Alathon> One of her thighs is badly charred, the fuku gone.
[16:42] <Alathon> She also seems to have suffered a number of lacerations, including one on her neck.
[16:42] * Reis 's eyes widen, and she steps back and the HELL out of the way.
[16:43] <Alathon> Jupiter is gritting her teeth to keep from screaming, and you can see a couple tears making their way down her face.
[16:43] * Sheena floats to the side and at the ready.
[16:43] <Alathon> Serenity goes for Amiko, then gets held up by Endymion; they share a look, and she heads for Jupiter.
[16:43] <Kuonji> (Wow, I'm fucking glad we didn't run into whatever the fuck they ran into)
[16:44] <Alathon> Endymion focuses on healing Amiko... and this will take a bit, as he needs to correct some fairly serious problems with her torso in general.
[16:44] <Alathon> Mani, you go to the third? or one of the ones they're dealing with?
[16:44] <Reis> (Bets that we're not going to be sent to complete the mission? :P )
[16:44] <Alathon> The third one is wounded as well, but not badly enough to prevent him fron standing.
[16:44] <Sheena> (there missing some one0
[16:45] <Kuonji> (please be gerand, please be gerand)
[16:45] <Kuonji> (The missing one that is)
[16:45] <Alathon> (they;'re missing two)
[16:45] <Sheena> (isnt one ken? or gunboy)
[16:45] * Reis watches on, face slightly pale.
[16:45] <Alathon> Serenity gets to healing Jupiter, and they start talking quietly.. Jupiter isn't that quiet though, and in between gasps of pain, you can make out some of what she says.
[16:45] <Reis> (Nope, don't think so - he's in Espionage, not the marines, I think)
[16:46] <Kuonji> (I should be able to make out most if not all.. >_>)
[16:46] * Mani asks Endymion, "Can I help?"
[16:46] <Kuonji> (gotta loves the hearing)
[16:46] <Alathon> (those with improved hearing, of course, get it all)
[16:46] <Alathon> Endymion, distracted; "Hold these entrails in for a moment, and push the pancreas over a bit.. that thing."
[16:46] <Alathon> He points out the pancreas.
[16:46] * Mani assists.
[16:47] <Alathon> Amiko is, blessedly, unconscious.
[16:47] <Alathon> And you can tell she's breathing because of the bloody bubbles on her lips.
[16:47] <Mani> "I have access to a powerfu healing spell, also."
[16:47] <Kuonji> (which is a blessing in any situation with her, from what I've been told)
[16:47] <Alathon> Endymion pauses for a second, before responding: "Get her lungs."
[16:47] <Reis> (Indeed it is.)
[16:47] <Mani> (Nah, she wasn't all bad.)
[16:48] * Mani heals Amiko, focusing on her lungs.
[16:48] <Mani> (Of course, this spell should put together someone cut in half...)
[16:48] <Alathon> And to answer the earlier question, Ken was on the other spec ops team.
[16:48] <Alathon> Not the one with Jupiter
[16:49] <Alathon> He made it back a little banged up, but otherwise good to go.
[16:49] <Alathon> Amiko is missing a LOT of hitpoints.. and a lot of flesh, but your healing helps a lot there.
[16:49] <Mani> (Jupiter: "Our *gasp* plan worked. They *groan* captured Gerand.")
[16:49] <Kuonji> (lol)
[16:49] <Alathon> If you wipe the blood off her lips, she'll stop blowing bloody bubbles.
[16:49] <Alathon> Endymion: "Thanks.."
[16:49] <Alathon> Anyways..
[16:50] <Alathon> Without going into further gory details.. it'll be a couple minutes of bloody business as Endymion puts the rest of Amiko back together.
[16:50] <Alathon> With Mani's assistance holding stuff in place.
[16:51] <Alathon> Jupiter: "... ready for us... got Rove, one of the others.."
[16:51] <Alathon> Serenity asks about a 'hand' or something.
[16:51] <Alathon> Jupiter shakes her head.
[16:51] * Mani helps the others (if needed) once she's not needed with Amiko.
[16:56] * Sheena wonders if they need a fast recovery team sent
[16:56] <Alathon> Serenity "... others..?"
[16:56] <Alathon> Jupiter shakes her head.
[16:56] <Alathon> Endymion, after laying Amiko on the ground, moves on to the tallish man who was holding her.
[16:57] * Reis frowns, looking on but not really able to do anything.
[16:57] <Alathon> Serenity keeps talking with Jupiter, however Endymion realizes you've kinda been left at odd ends.
[16:58] <Alathon> Endymion: "Mani, your team can stand down."
[16:58] <Mani> (Am I done helping with any healing, btw?)
[16:58] <Alathon> Endymion: "Take one of the suites upstairs, there ought to be a couple open.. ask at the deks."
[16:58] <Sheena> "No need for a recover op?"
[16:59] <Alathon> He closes his eyes, and looks REALLY tired for a moment.
[16:59] * Sheena says while still floating near by at the ready
[16:59] <Alathon> Jupiter apparently heard this.
[16:59] <Alathon> Jupiter: "No."
[16:59] * Reis winces.
[16:59] <Alathon> Serenity stands up, with one of Jupiter's arms over her shoulder.
[16:59] <Alathon> Serenity's previously pristine white dress is liberally smeared with blood.
[17:00] <Mani> (I'll assume I am.)
[17:00] <Mani> "Yes, sir."
[17:00] <Alathon> Yes
[17:00] * Mani turns to the others.
[17:00] <Mani> "Let's go."
[17:00] <Alathon> Endymion: "Good work, and.. there'll be a debriefing. Later."
[17:00] * Sheena lands near mani
[17:00] * Reis closes her eyes, nodding, and goes with Mani.
[17:01] * Mani leads the way to the desks and follows Endymions instructions.
[17:01] <Alathon> He checks again on Amiko, before striking up a discussion with the other surviving Special Ops team member.
[17:02] * Kuonji follows
[17:02] * Sheena follows mani to there room
[17:03] * Reis continues following.
[17:03] <Alathon> When you get there, you'll find water has been set out.
[17:03] <Alathon> You'll find out because Kuonji, despite his general grace, manages to knock it over on himself, changing.
[17:04] <Alathon> Yuuno has been entirely quiet for the last few minutes, and looks.. grave.
[17:04] * Kuonji sighs
[17:05] * Sheena takes a seat on air neat the table and gets a glass of whats left from sakura's bath
[17:05] <Kuonji> "Is there a tap nearby?"
[17:05] <Mani> "Wouldn't be much of a suite without a bathroom."
[17:05] * Mani checks out the place.
[17:06] <Kuonji> "What's wrong Yuuno?"
[17:07] * Reis blinks at the water curse, and goes to find a seat to slump in heavily. "... I know we managed to win three out of four, but..."
[17:07] <Alathon> You can change back if you want.
[17:07] <Alathon> Yuuno, seriously: "Three and a half out of four, really."
[17:07] <Alathon> She sits herself down heavily.. and just sits, the staff Reis made for her held between her legs.
[17:08] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I don't know... nothing."
[17:08] * Mani cleans herself up.
[17:08] <Mani> "Excuse me."
[17:09] * Sheena reclines on her air lazy boy and lets dark heart fade
[17:09] <Kuonji> "Can you grab me some hot water Taichou?"
[17:09] <Sheena> "Seems they got the jump on lady luptiers team"
[17:09] * Reis blinks and looks across at Yuuno. "Oh... I think I figured out that thing you were teaching me yesterday evening, Yuuno-sensei."
[17:10] <Alathon> (Yuuno, surprised: "You mean, Asura's Fingers?")
[17:10] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Oh.. you mean, the second sight?"
[17:11] <Kuonji> "Second sight?"
[17:11] * Reis nods. "Yes... I was able to see the magical flow while I was looking at that shield the evangelist had up."
[17:12] * Sheena looks over with her pink eyes
[17:12] <Sheena> "I see you left the spechal effects out"
[17:12] * Kuonji hmmm
[17:13] <Kuonji> "I... Don't suppose any of you noticed anything about the Queen?"
[17:13] * Reis blinks. "Hm? What do you mean, Sakura-san?"
[17:14] * Mani comes back shortly, having washed the blood off.
[17:14] <Kuonji> "I... I don't know, I think maybe I should speak with Usagi-sama before saying anything."
[17:15] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Nothing I noticed."
[17:16] <Sheena> "Like looking into a magical nova here"
[17:16] * Mani returns when the DM cues her.
[17:16] <Sheena> "A smileing one... Tho when she kept looking at me i started to wonder if i got carried away on the mission"
[17:16] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah.. I haven't seen that sort of magical potential in, well.. ever."
[17:17] * Kuonji remains quiet
[17:17] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Carried away? It was Sailor Mercury who actually ordered you to attack that camp with bombardment spells!"
[17:17] <Alathon> She doesn't seem too thrilled by this.
[17:19] <Sheena> "Yes, well. i dont think im suposed to enjoy doing that stuff so much."
[17:19] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah, well, that's neither here nor there."
[17:20] <Sheena> "Seems like it should be some "grim duty" and im doing my best to keep from laughting out loud"
[17:20] * Sheena lets it drop when yuuno does
[17:20] <Sheena> "Oh, Dips on shower next"
[17:20] <Sheena> *dibs
[17:21] <Alathon> Right when you say that, Mani opens the door and comes out.
[17:21] <Kuonji> "Could you run the water and let me change first?"
[17:21] <Sheena> "Any one's welcome to join me"
[17:21] * Sheena floats up and over to the door
[17:21] <Sheena> "Sure sakura come on,"
[17:21] * Kuonji floats after her
[17:22] * Mani shifts to cat form and takes a seat.
[17:22] * Reis blinks at that, and simply slumps in her chair.
[17:23] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'm not saying you shouldn't have done it or anything.. I mean."
[17:23] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I dunno.. I don't even know what my point is, except that it didn't feel cool."
[17:23] <Mani> "What's this?"
[17:23] * Kuonji calls back
[17:23] <Alathon> Yuuno opens her mouth, looking over at Mani, then pauses for a moment.
[17:23] * Sheena pokes her head out from the room with her uniform top off as she taking her gear off
[17:24] <Kuonji> "If they WERE expecting Jupiter's team... Does that mean we have an informant in our ranks?"
[17:24] <Alathon> Yuuno: "... just the whole war thing, I guess."
[17:24] <Sheena> "It could be that body your in. I remember a little ferret who would have been cheering me on"
[17:24] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Wasn't that long ago I was a cop, or at least worked with cops. Doesn't sit right.."
[17:24] * Sheena ducks back in and does her shower thing after saying that
[17:25] <Alathon> Yuuno looks kinda pissed for a moment.
[17:25] <Mani> "Doubtful, Sakura, considering how few people knew about our targets."
[17:25] <Alathon> Yuuno gets over it pretty quickly though, and responds.
[17:25] <Alathon> Yuuno: "You know I wasn't in my right mind!"
[17:25] * Reis frowns. "... Certainly wasn't enjoyable, but... I think it made sense."
[17:26] <Kuonji> (I'm starting to smell a conspiracy)
[17:26] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Who's Sun Tzu, anyway?"
[17:26] <Sheena> Loud: Oh? So you get some memoires back and all of a sudden my sensei and friend was just some crazed ferret?"
[17:26] <Kuonji> (youma, a possible leak, and the queen...)
[17:26] <Alathon> Yuuno, yelling: "And I'm still your friend, and I'm NOT A FERRET!"
[17:27] * Kuonji steps out of the bathroom now that's he's full size again"
[17:27] <Kuonji> "Sun Tzu wrote The Art of War."
[17:27] <Reis> "Chinese military strategist and philosopher, Yuuno-sensei."
[17:28] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Some sort of warmonger, then?"
[17:28] <Sheena> (gah, damn hippy elfs)
[17:28] <Sheena> "Ahh right, You did make your choice. Ok i won't bring it up again"
[17:29] * Sheena sets water running soon after that, oddly enought the door isnt shut
[17:29] * Reis shakes her head. "No... Military consultant, approximately."
[17:29] <Kuonji> "Yuuno... When was the last time you were in your uncursed form?"
[17:30] <Alathon> Yuuno looks over at Kuonji.
[17:30] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Um... "
[17:30] <Alathon> Yuuno has to think about it for a moment.
[17:30] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Like.. a couple weeks, at least?"
[17:30] <Sheena> (uhoh..)
[17:30] <Alathon> Yuuno: "... cold showers suck."
[17:30] <Kuonji> "We don't really know to much about these curses... Maybe you should try taking a break for a little bit."
[17:30] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Why?"
[17:31] * Reis purses her lips, frowning. "... Are you suggesting it's affecting his mind, Sakura-san?"
[17:31] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Take a break from not being a friggin' animal?"
[17:31] <Sheena> (Yuuno: Im not a guy!)
[17:31] * Reis frowns, nodding. "Yeah... I can see why you'd prefer to stay like this."
[17:31] * Kuonji shrugs
[17:32] <Kuonji> "It couldn't hurt to err on the side of caution."
[17:32] <Mani> "It might be a good idea."
[17:32] <Alathon> Yuuno frowns.
[17:32] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Why, is there something wrong with staying in your cursed form for a long time?"
[17:32] <Reis> "... It _has_ been affecting what you find palatable, so... it's not out of reason that it's mind-affecting."
[17:32] <Mani> "We don't know."
[17:32] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I mean, not that it's *really* a curse.."
[17:33] <Alathon> Yuuno, muttering, "More like a blessing if you ask me."
[17:33] <Mani> "We're not sure exactly how the magic works."
[17:33] * Reis shakes her head. "... We'd need to figure out so much more before really relaxing..."
[17:33] <Mani> "Why not sleep in your own form tonight?"
[17:33] <Alathon> Yuuno looks a little displeased.
[17:34] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I guess that wouldn't be too bad.. I'll think about it."
[17:35] * Kuonji will send the princess a message that he would like to speak with her when she has a chance
[17:35] <Alathon> It'll send, but you won't get an immediate reply.
[17:35] * Reis purses her lips. "... Do you mind if I try and analyze the magic currently on you, Yuuno-sensei?"
[17:35] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I.. no, of course not."
[17:35] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Go ahead."
[17:36] * Reis nods, leaning forward and carefully sorting through everything she can see.
[17:36] <Reis> (Take a 20, or roll?)
[17:36] <Alathon> roll
[17:36] <AlaBot> Alathon rolled --> error: malformed expression
[17:36] <Alathon> unless you wanna spend a few hours on this ;p
[17:37] <Reis> roll 1d20+27
[17:37] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{32}
[17:37] <Reis> (Few hours will work for later :P )
[17:37] <Reis> (This is just a quick check to see what turns up)
[17:39] * Reis frowns. "... There's something other than the Jusenkyo change on you, Yuuno-sensei."
[17:39] <Reis> "I... can't tell what it is, I can barely glimpse it right now."
[17:39] <Reis> "It's... very, very tightly tied in to your core."
[17:42] <Alathon> Yuuno frowns.
[17:42] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Not exactly what I wanted to hear.. but I suppose if it's as powerful an effect as Sakura has made it out to be, it makes sense."
[17:42] <Alathon> Yuuno: "At least that suggests that it'd be difficult for it to be dispelled."
[17:43] * Reis nods slowly. "... If you have some time, we could stop in at the lab and I'd examine in more detail, so we can at least know what it is."
[17:43] <Mani> "But not impossible, as we saw."
[17:43] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah.. and, I don't know.
[17:43] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I've seen magic suppression fields before.. and sometimes you can fight through them, sometimes they're just too strong."
[17:46] * Sheena walks out of the bathroom with her uniform on loosely, the top undone, and a towle working over her hair getting way to long
[17:46] <Sheena> "Rooms open, waters still good"
[17:47] * Reis looks to see if anyone else wants to go first, not exactly planning to walk out of the current conversation.
[17:48] <Alathon> Yuuno jumps up and takes the opportunity to walk out of the current conversation.
[17:48] * Sheena does the air seat thing again
[17:48] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Dibs!"
[17:48] <Alathon> She quickly closes the door behind her.
[17:49] <Sheena> "Oy, Sakura do you have an spare big brush? I just got a little one in my pack"
[17:49] * Reis sighs, leaning back. "... Things seem to be racking up by the minute today."
[17:50] <Mani> "Well, we did just go to war."
[17:51] <Kuonji> "You seem to be implying I have any sort of brush."
[17:51] <Kuonji> "You actually think I take care of this beyond just washing it?"
[17:52] <Sheena> "Do you really want me to bring that up in front of reis?"
[17:52] <Kuonji> (huh?)
[17:52] <Kuonji> "Uh... what"
[17:52] <Kuonji> ?
[17:53] <Sheena> (you forget the jokes they've pulled before? it was back in the nevada branch)
[17:54] * Reis blinks at that, cocking her head.
[17:54] * Sheena adjusts the airlazy boy, and shakes the mess lose.
[17:54] <Sheena> "meh, fine. be that way"
[17:55] <Kuonji> (he has a lot on his mind, cut him slack)
[17:55] <Mani> "So, how is everyone holding up?"
[17:56] <Kuonji> "I'm rather concerned."
[17:56] <Kuonji> "You guys over heard what Jupiter-sama was saying, right?
[17:56] <Kuonji> "
[17:56] * Reis frowns, shaking her head. "Just snippets..."
[17:57] <Reis> "But it still has me worried anyway."
[17:57] <Mani> (In theory, but the DM hasn't passed it on.)
[17:57] <Sheena> "I missed it"
[17:57] <Kuonji> "A couple things seemed to stick out to me."
[17:58] <Kuonji> "They were either waiting or just very well prepared for such an attack."
[17:58] <Kuonji> "Her team was repulsed entirley by Texan forces, and not Mercs."
[17:58] <Kuonji> "And the angel lookalikes were in fact Youma."
[17:59] <Kuonji> (Do we know what youma are?)
[17:59] * Reis blinks. "... What?"
[17:59] <Reis> (What ARE youma? :P )
[17:59] <Reis> (As far as we know, that is.)
[17:59] <Alathon> (they were enemies that the mythical sailor moon faught)
[18:00] <Alathon> (generally looked like monsters, but not much known beyond that)
[18:00] <Sheena> "Youma? Like in thoes old manga's?"
[18:01] * Reis raises an eyebrow. "... Something that old is coming to cause problems?"
[18:01] <Mani> "Who knows. Maybe they're just another extradimensional race."
[18:02] <Mani> "I would advise not getting too worked up about it at this time. We'll find out more soon enough."
[18:03] <Sheena> "Ya, worked up"
[18:03] * Sheena kicks the airlazy in full recline and puts her feet up
[18:04] * Reis sighs. "Nothing we can do about that for now, I suppose..."
[18:04] <Mani> "Right. There's not even much we can say about it with the few snippets we have."
[18:04] * Mani checks the local time.
[18:05] <Alathon> Local time is... not quite 3pm
[18:05] <Alathon> No word yet on the comm on when you'll be dragged in for debriefing
[18:05] <Mani> "Let's see about ordering up a meal."
[18:06] * Mani attempts to do just that.
[18:06] * Reis nods slowly. "I guess... I'll wash off first, though."
[18:06] <Sheena> "Something good to drink to if posible, im still a bit jumpy from the battle
[18:06] <Alathon> You can get something catered, it'll take a while if you want something hot, but if you just want deli stuff they can have it up here in 20 minutes.
[18:07] <Alathon> The suites have minibars
[18:07] <Mani> "Nothing too strong. We don't know when we'll be debriefed."
[18:07] <Alathon> Anyways, if there's anything anyone wants to bring up on conversation, now's the time
[18:07] * Mani orders some deli stuff as an appetizer and a good hot meal for the group when it's ready.
[18:07] <Alathon> otherwise, we'll be ending when the food arrives
[18:07] <Alathon> Your orders are noted.
[18:08] <Reis> (Nothing in particular, Reis will take a shower once Yuuno's out)
[18:08] <Sheena> "Just some light sake, and i guess this bottle of j&D for yuuno"
[18:08] <Alathon> Yuuno's taking her time, but Reis will get her turn soon enough.
[18:09] * Reis gratefully removes the various chunks of both her and other people that got on her.
[18:10] <Mani> (At least you didn't have Amiko under your fingernails. ;) )
[18:10] <Reis> (Ugh, indeed. The glories of not being a field medic)
[18:12] <Alathon> Anyways..
[18:12] <Alathon> End here
[18:12] * AlaBot (~nlennig@c-67-170-72-202.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: )
[18:13] <Alathon> while not as much happened this game than some, hopefully some interesting seeds have been planted
[18:13] * Kuonji is now known as Ataru
[18:14] * Sheena is now known as DCG
[18:14] <DCG> and sheena's totaly wondering why the quenen was staring at
[18:14] <Ataru> I'm betting one of the senshi or Usagi is a traitor ^_^
[18:14] <Alathon> why'd they only get one of the teams then?
[18:14] <Ataru> hmm
[18:14] <Ataru> good point
[18:15] <Alathon> plausible deniability?
[18:15] <Ataru> but the queen seems to be fading
[18:15] <Reis> Oh dearie.
[18:15] <Alathon> making sure it's not too obvious, until they get can more senshi in one place?
[18:15] <Ataru> so a coup is not out of the question
[18:15] * Reis will, btw, try to get Yuuno aside for a moment in private, if I have time to before next session.
[18:16] <Alathon> Hmm
[18:16] <Alathon> You can probably manage that
[18:16] <Alathon> the suites have side rooms, you could have a quick private chat
[18:18] <Ataru> I just hope Saturn isn't a traitor ;_;
[18:18] * Mani is now known as Yarrow
[18:19] <Yarrow> I don't know why you think there's a traitor.
[18:19] <Ataru> I don't know why you think there isn't
[18:19] <Reis> Well, one of the toughest of the assault units got, more or less, pwnt. By mook-local forces.
[18:20] <Ataru> Youma are involved
[18:20] <Reis> It's true that it could be a generic fuckage, that happens all the time in military play, but, it could also be something else.
[18:20] <Ataru> Usagi already did it once
[18:20] <Ataru> The queen's power seems to be very strained (though out of the team, only sakura seems to currently know this)
[18:21] <Yarrow> Who said mook-local? There just weren't any mercs. That could mean 2 dozen high level evas.
[18:21] <Yarrow> So, then why are you telling all the rest of us, even OOC?
[18:21] <DCG> the king did give hints away
[18:21] <Ataru> yeah
[18:22] <DCG> cides
[18:22] <DCG> didn you hear yuuno and sheena
[18:22] <Ataru> besides, it's not like Sakura's planning on keeping you all in the dark
[18:23] <Reis> Heh, that's a point Yarrow. Suppose it depends on what they were hitting.
[18:24] <Ataru> but UST is somehow now in touch with youma, and it at least APPEARED that they may have been expecting it
[18:24] <Ataru> sure, it could all be coincidence
[18:24] <Ataru> I'm just saying it may very well not be
[18:24] <Ataru> especially when you start getting meta about it
[18:24] <Reis> Well, we DID have that Yamaha chapter leader way back when, running all the way to the north pole...
[18:25] <Ataru> after all, the game is going to wrap up sometime this year
[18:25] <Ataru> a traitor senshi would be one hell of an end boss
[18:25] <Reis> Heh. Indeed.
[18:26] <Yarrow> Nah, we all know it's going to be Tsukasa. :)
[18:26] <Alathon> they hired her, and she used her monster spawning abilities for them
[18:26] <Yarrow> Monster spawning?
[18:28] <Reis> That's against her ethics. Or at least, her ethics as of the last time we met, though she's had a couple thousand years or so since :P
[18:28] <DCG> Sheena: I duno we're she learned that from but it wasn't me! all thoo...
[18:32] * DCG (~PyroRaven@c-24-14-45-38.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
[18:33] * DCG (~PyroRaven@c-24-14-45-38.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #crystaltokyo
[18:33] <Reis> Welcome back.
[18:34] <Ataru> damn it
[18:34] <Ataru> I'm so hungry
[18:35] <Ataru> can't afford food til tomorrow though
[18:35] <Ataru> spent my last ten bucks on drugs
[18:35] <Ataru> it was worthit
[18:35] <Ataru> in fact, I think I'll finish it off
[18:36] <Alathon> haha
[18:36] <Ataru> for $10 I got fucking hooked up
[18:36] <Alathon> whatever happened to, like, saving some of that money you got from your grandma?
[18:37] <Ataru> went to rent and electricity
[18:37] <Alathon> doh
[18:37] <Alathon> can't exactly argue with that
[18:37] <Ataru> and a cab ride to work because I was going to be really late otherwise
[18:38] <Ataru> I'm gunning for a promotion though, so hopefully I'll soon be making more money
[18:38] <Yarrow> That would be good.
[18:38] <Ataru> even just an extra buck an hour would be good
[18:38] <Yarrow> Oh, btw, xp?
[18:38] <Reis> Indeed.
[18:38] <Alathon> um.. let's see
[18:38] <Alathon> 3750 exp

[Alathon]

Session 69

[12:37] <Alathon> alright
[12:37] <Alathon> we left off last week after the team completed their mission in the Confederacy, returned.. and witnessed the aftermath of an aborted mission.
[12:38] <Alathon> You don't know all the details, but from what you've heard, it involved the 'Hand of God'.. whom you'll have heard referenced as the leader of the UST.
[12:39] <Pale_Wolf> (Oh, we hadn't heard 'of God', just 'Hand' :P )
[12:39] <Alathon> A couple from the involved Special Operations team were lost, and Amiko and Sailor Jupiter were both seriously wounded.. Amiko moreso; Mani assisted King Endymion in healing her
[12:39] * Yarrow is now known as Mani
[12:39] * DCG is now known as Sheena
[12:39] * Pale_Wolf is now known as Reis
[12:41] <Alathon> Your mission, however, was a success. Despite some fairly serious injuries, the energy collectors in both cathedrals were destroyed, as were the local clergy, the embassy was flattened, and the UST boot camp was partially destroyed
[12:41] * Rockman_Zero is now known as RZ_[AFK]
[12:41] <Alathon> The team has presently retired to a suite in the Espionage building to get cleaned up
[12:42] <Alathon> And, we'll pick up there, with everyone having finally got their showers, clean clothes, and the like taken care of.
[12:42] <Alathon> Yuuno's a smidge sulky from all the talk about her switching back to ferret form for any length of time.
[12:42] * Reis was, I believe, the last one to snag the showers, and spent a while in there, but came out eventually and drew Yuuno into a chat for a while.
[12:42] <Alathon> (nod)
[12:43] <Alathon> (that discussion has taken place)
[12:43] <Reis> (Roger-oh)
[12:43] <Mani> (And a meal is on the way, unless we've skipped past that.)
[12:43] <Reis> (Just figured everyone else would know at least that we were off talking in private for a while)
[12:44] <Alathon> The meal will have arrived just a couple minutes ago, so if you're hungry, there's food.
[12:44] <Alathon> Pretty good food too; not gourmet, but it ain't cafeteria food neither
[12:44] * Sheena is back in uniform sitting near the table, a bit off the ground.
[12:44] <Mani> (After that kind of action? I'd be amazed if everyone isn't.)
[12:45] * Mani shifts to a from with opposable thumbs to eat.
[12:45] * Reis will certainly be eating.
[12:46] <Alathon> Yuuno reluctantly stuffs herself with non-meat helpings.
[12:47] <Sheena> (good thing cats never got that hole thumb thing down)
[12:47] <Mani> (Wouldn't be any humans if we had.)
[12:48] <Reis> (Nah, they'd still keep us around for strokeys and servants - why work when you can sleep?)
[12:48] <Kuonji> (sure there would, cats have short attention spans)
[12:48] <Kuonji> (and they're too damn lazy to conquer the world)
[12:49] <Mani> (Actually, I think they tend to focus an things. A cat might sit outside a hole a mouse went into for hours, staring intently.)
[12:49] <Kuonji> (phonecaal blllaaarg)
[12:49] <Mani> (Of course, they focus on relaxing or sleeping a lot of time, too. :) )
[12:49] <Sheena> (get caller ID?)
[12:49] <Mani> (Was everything with Yuuno pretty much resolved for now?)
[12:50] <Sheena> (this meat things new)
[12:50] <Sheena> "Ok there yuuno?"
[12:50] <Mani> (ie - there's no point asking her what's wrong/is she ok/etc?)
[12:51] <Kuonji> (my mom needs help with her computer -_-)
[12:51] <Kuonji> (I'll probably just go over some time this week)
[12:51] * Reis will be looking intently at Yuuno while she works on her food.
[12:52] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah.."
[12:54] * Mani lets Yuuno have her privacy if she doesn't want to talk.
[12:54] <Sheena> "I don't remember you as a picky eater, im sure a building like this has a medroom you can grab a bottle of the pinkstuff outa"
[12:55] * Reis blinks and glances at Sheena. "Didn't it come up, Sheena-san? The elven physiology is reducing Yuuno-sensei's taste for meat."
[12:55] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'm not picky, I just.. don't want to eat any of the meats."
[12:55] <Alathon> "Okay?"
[12:55] <Mani> "I remember it being mentioned."
[12:56] <Reis> (I thought I did too, I was wondering if that was me misremembering a private thing or what :P )
[12:56] * Sheena shurgs
[12:56] <Sheena> "Was just checking,"
[12:57] <Alathon> Yuuno looks speculatively at the chicken tempura, but ultimately goes for the veggies.
[12:58] <Mani> "I suggest trying not to let it bother you. I mean, when I'm in human form, I have a strange desire for *vegetables* and *fruits*."
[12:58] * Mani makes a face.
[12:58] <Alathon> Yuuno grins at that.
[12:59] <Sheena> "Green stuff, bleh "
[12:59] * Reis snickers slightly.
[12:59] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I can kinda see how that would be uncomfortable."
[12:59] <Mani> "It's weird, but no big deal unless you make it into one."
[13:00] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I suppose.."
[13:00] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'm just used to being either an omnivore or a carnivore."
[13:00] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I suppose I'll get over it."
[13:01] <Alathon> Yuuno hesitates a bit, before continuing.
[13:01] <Alathon> Yuuno: "..what do you think happened with Jupiter's team?"
[13:01] <Mani> "I think they ran into a very strong defense probably consisting of a lot of evangelicals."
[13:02] * Reis frowns. "... I don't know, but if they ran into a particularly dangerous group of locals..."
[13:02] <Reis> (By the way, what did the injuries look like? Claw, sword, mace, bullet?)
[13:02] <Mani> (Jupiter had a very bad burn, I remember.)
[13:03] <Reis> (Yeah, I'm figuring fire and magic's a given :P )
[13:03] <Alathon> (Jupiter had a really bad burn, and assorted lacerations; most of the injuries to the other two were lacerations and contusions)
[13:03] <Reis> (All righty)
[13:03] <Sheena> "Thoes eva's can be a problem. A good sized group could layer there area attacks on an location"
[13:03] <Sheena> "Be screwed sitting in that"
[13:04] * Mani nods.
[13:04] <Alathon> Yuuno: "That would explain it.. I kinda wonder how good Amiko is now, if she'd be able to dispel those attacks.."
[13:04] * Reis purses her lips. "That's certainly a dangerous attack, though the injuries didn't look right for magical bombardment."
[13:04] <Mani> "Don't forget their cloud of blades spell."
[13:04] <Mani> "And those pillars of flame."
[13:05] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah, the blades were what I was thinking of.."
[13:05] <Sheena> (gah!
[13:05] * Reis nods. "That's true - the blades are a possibility."
[13:05] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It at least seems like they're using a common set of powers."
[13:06] <Alathon> Yuuno: ".. for that matter, Reis, what was that one you were fighting up on the roof doing?"
[13:06] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I saw a bloom of magic, but, couldn't make out what happened."
[13:06] <Reis> "Yes... I suppose it's because they have a training program for their magic, everyone trained the same way would explain a lot of commonalities..."
[13:06] * Reis blinks. "Um... there was a defensive spell, magical suppression."
[13:07] <Alathon> Yuuno wrinkles her nose at that.
[13:07] <Reis> "It didn't work, it wasn't anywhere near as strong at the last one, but it did allow him to continue casting."
[13:07] <Mani> "Obviously not the same thing the one inside the church was using, though."
[13:09] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah.."
[13:09] <Alathon> Yuuno: "that was a really powerful anti-magic field."
[13:09] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I don't think I coulda punched it.. certainly not if it worked on Sheena's barrier jacket."
[13:10] * Mani ponders.
[13:11] <Mani> "I wonder what form you would have ended up in inside that field."
[13:11] * Reis frowns, nodding. "Sounds like either non-magical attacks or simply using magic to create a physical effect and sending it in from outside of the radius are the way to go."
[13:11] * Reis ... blinkblinks.
[13:12] <Mani> (A pile of 1,000 old dust. :) )
[13:12] <Mani> (year)
[13:12] <Reis> (Heh)
[13:12] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Um.."
[13:13] <Sheena> (back, sorry)
[13:13] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I actually don't know. Um.. probably a ferret, though."
[13:13] <Kuonji> "So... what about those Youma?"
[13:14] * Reis cocks her head. "You don't think it'd affect Nanoha-san's spell?"
[13:14] <Alathon> Yuuno: "... I kinda suspect that whatever nanoha did to me was deeper than a permament spell.. more like, an actual transmutation."
[13:14] <Mani> "I think it might disable it in the field itself but not break it."
[13:14] <Mani> "As for youma, not much to say."
[13:14] * Reis frowns. "... That's possible, and could explain why you're not back..."
[13:15] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I've got no clue on that one."
[13:15] <Alathon> Yuuno: "The Youma thing, I mean.. I've never heard of 'em."
[13:15] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Er, I mean.. I never heard of 'em until I came here."
[13:15] * Reis nods to Mani. "All we really know is that something from before the fall apparently showed up... Maybe some survived?"
[13:16] * Mani shrugs helplessly.
[13:16] <Mani> "We have no information to work with."
[13:17] <Sheena> "I heard some wierd things when asking about my uniform upgrade, but nothing soild"
[13:18] <Kuonji> (lol, my roommate is listening to rob zombie)
[13:18] * Reis blinks and looks questioningly at Sheena.
[13:18] <Kuonji> (more human then human)
[13:18] <Reis> (Heh)
[13:18] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Hm?"
[13:18] <Alathon> Yuuno: "What sorta thing?"
[13:20] <Sheena> "Something about youma, generals, old enimes, I really didnt get much at all. It's like getting half a story you have no background on that's an INjoke,"
[13:20] <Sheena> "Tho it sure wasn't the ha ha kind"
[13:20] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Oh.."
[13:20] <Mani> (Anything in the CT book to shed light on those?)
[13:21] <Alathon> If you look through it, yes; they'll be mentioned.
[13:21] <Reis> (Well, we DID have a book report - what'd it tell us?)
[13:21] <Alathon> They were demonic beings created by a faction hostile to the Senshi, known as the Dark Kingdom; in some universes they date back to anti-Silver Millenium forces, in others they're recent arrivals
[13:22] <Kuonji> (in other words, the good guys)
[13:22] <Alathon> They were used as foot soldiers and mobile life-energy collectors to provide power for the Dark Kingdom's forces, and in some cases, for their patron being, 'Metallia'
[13:22] <Mani> (Nah, bad guys can fight each other.)
[13:22] <Reis> (Being hostile to the bad guys does not mean you're the good guys :P )
[13:22] <Reis> (Stalin and Hitler hated each other :P )
[13:23] <Alathon> Generally speaking, the Senshi stomped them.
[13:23] <Reis> (Gah! Dammit, I invoked Godwin's Law ;_; )
[13:23] <Alathon> There's passing mention of 'rogue youma' achieving freedom, but it's mentioned as a fluke
[13:23] <Mani> (Out! *points to the exit)
[13:24] * Reis frowns. "... Maybe the UST figured out how to make them?"
[13:25] <Kuonji> "Somehow, I doubt it."
[13:26] <Kuonji> "I think an easier explanation would be that there is someone pulling the UST's strings, or at the very least aiding them."
[13:26] <Alathon> Supposedly, they were eradicated along with the Dark Kingdoms leadership.. which typically consisted of a 'Queen Beryl' and four 'Generals', whom the Senshi were often involved with romantically.
[13:26] <Sheena> (that part of the plot never did make much sense)
[13:26] <Alathon> The generals, not the Queen ;p
[13:26] <Alathon> though it's mentioned that she had a great deal of interest in Endymion
[13:27] <Sheena> "Usefull book, I ended up a bit distracted by the others i bought"
[13:27] <Reis> (Serenity's left out in the cold :P )
[13:27] <Kuonji> (no, that's Venus)
[13:29] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Hmm?"
[13:29] <Alathon> Yuno: "Oh, you mean the ones about Celeste?"
[13:30] <Sheena> "Ya"
[13:30] <Sheena> "You give it a read at all?"
[13:31] <Alathon> Yuuno shakes her head.
[13:31] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Honestly, with everything.. I didn't even remmber you had them."
[13:32] * Sheena nods
[13:33] <Sheena> "Could use your opion on some of it"
[13:34] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I'll make a point to have a look, then."
[13:34] <Alathon> Yuuno: "I mean.. I was gonna, but I'll try to do it sooner, rather than later."
[13:34] <Sheena> "Thanks, yuunochan"
[13:34] <Alathon> She lets the -chan go without comment.
[13:35] <Sheena> "Ya i figered you would sooner or later, can't let one of thoes books get away from you"
[13:38] <Alathon> (anything else anyone wants to hit on before lunch is over?)
[13:38] <Mani> (Nope.)
[13:38] <Kuonji> (nope, not really)
[13:38] <Reis> (Not especially, nope)
[13:39] <Alathon> In that case.. lunch is over.
[13:40] <Alathon> Because you get a call to come down for a debriefing.
[13:40] <Alathon> Which will be with the King, Queen, Princess, and the four Inner Senshi.
[13:40] <Alathon> Fortunately for anyone who's stage-fright inclined, they mainly expect Mercury to do the reporting -- which she does.
[13:40] <Mani> (How does Jupiter look?)
[13:40] * Sheena reists the erge to point at yuuno, yell she did it, and then run
[13:41] <Alathon> Hale and hardy.
[13:42] <Alathon> Mercury's report goes into substantial depth, as she covers pretty much everything she observed.
[13:42] * Reis will be, as Al described, stage-fright-inclined.
[13:42] <Alathon> Including some things you weren't aware of, such as how she destroyed the crosses.
[13:42] * Sheena hopes no one notices her eyes closed behind her shades
[13:42] <Alathon> In both cases, she froze them to make them more brittle; in the first case, she attempted to destroy it with a sustained blast from her tachyon rifle before hand, which failed.
[13:43] <Alathon> She destroyed the first one with a point blank melee attack.. and found that method to be unreasonably dangerous.
[13:43] <Reis> ("Wheeeeee!")
[13:43] <Alathon> The second she froze it and used an explosive whose name only Kuonji will recognize.
[13:44] <Reis> (Did she report on the people cheering us on? :P )
[13:45] <Alathon> She mentioned a 'positive reaction by some residents.'
[13:45] <Mani> (I *knew* she'd describe it as that. :) )
[13:46] <Reis> (Heh, yeah)
[13:46] <Alathon> Mars and the Queen both shoot her a look when she explains her decision to flatten some of the boot camp.
[13:46] <Alathon> There's a short pause, Jupiter looks like she's a little angry and about to say something.. and Mecury just continues.
[13:47] * Reis blinks at that reaction, cocking her head somewhat curiously.
[13:47] <Alathon> She specifies that she had you target what she judged to be barracks and command structures.
[13:47] <Alathon> had Reis and Sheena, rather.
[13:48] <Alathon> Venus was a little bothered by the embassy being destroyed, but also looked a little.. speculative.. at Reis and Sheena.
[13:48] <Mani> (Oh! They'd make such a cute couple!)
[13:48] <Alathon> The queen largely runs the debriefing; the King is doing something on his comm most of the time.
[13:48] <Kuonji> (playing Snake)
[13:49] <Mani> (Football game.)
[13:49] <Sheena> (king's com: *boom head shot!* Queen: *glars* ahem)
[13:52] <Sheena> (venus still looking at us funny)
[13:53] <Alathon> Nah, that was a passing thing.
[13:53] * Reis kinda... blinks at Venus's look.
[13:53] <Alathon> Anyways.. soon enough, they'll fininsh with Mercury.
[13:54] <Alathon> The Queen faces Mani, then the rest of the party.
[13:54] <Alathon> Serenity: "Are there any observations any of you would like to add?"
[13:54] <Kuonji> (we were just following orders!)
[13:54] <Alathon> Mercury has accurately described how things went down, without any editorialization or value judgements.
[13:54] <Mani> (I suppose any obvious onse were already given by Mercury?)
[13:55] <Reis> (Did she mention the evangelist antimagic ability?)
[13:55] <Alathon> Yes
[13:55] <Kuonji> (did she mention the youma?)
[13:55] <Alathon> Nobody seemed surprised by it.
[13:55] <Reis> (WE didn't see youma, we saw angels who dissolved :P )
[13:55] <Alathon> Yes, and again, nobody seemed surprised by it.
[13:55] <Alathon> She described them as 'consistent with the Youma archetype' however.
[13:56] <Kuonji> (heh)
[13:56] * Reis would have blinked at that one, pondering stuffs.
[13:56] <Alathon> Serenity: "or questions, for that matter."
[13:56] <Alathon> Serenity: "bear in mind that this was the first such mission your team has been assigned, and that it will not be the last."
[13:57] <Mani> (*thinks)
[13:57] * Reis purses her lips, thinking.
[13:57] <Alathon> They're all looking at you five.
[13:57] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Um.."
[13:58] <Alathon> Yuuno raises her hand.
[13:58] <Alathon> Serenity smiles a little.
[13:58] <Alathon> Serenity: "Go ahead.. speak up."
[13:58] <Sheena> (gah!
[13:58] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Aren't you worried about retaliation?"
[13:59] <Alathon> Yuuno continues quickly, "I mean.. not just against us, but against the Alliance?"
[13:59] <Alathon> Jupiter responds quickly, and a little severely: "Yes, but they've already demonstrated a willingness to go that far."
[14:00] <Alathon> Jupiter: "Better by far to have these fights on their turf, where it's their people suffering collateral damage."
[14:00] <Alathon> Jupiter: "If cities are to be destroyed, it should be theirs and theirs alone."
[14:00] <Alathon> Jupiter looks over at Mars, who's about to say something, a little challengingly.
[14:00] * Reis blinks, frowning slightly.
[14:01] * Mani raises a hand if the answer seems to be done.
[14:02] <Alathon> If this were an anime there'd be some sparks flying.. but it isn't, so there aren't.
[14:02] <Alathon> Endymion looks up, and speaks: "We've been over this already.."
[14:02] <Alathon> Both of them look at him, a little irritated.
[14:03] <Alathon> Endymion, "And when we go over it again, it should be Later."
[14:03] <Alathon> They seem to accept this.
[14:03] <Mani> ("Not in front of the children.")
[14:03] <Alathon> Queen: ".. yes, Mani?"
[14:03] <Sheena> (gezz, some one just shoot me)
[14:04] <Mani> "At both churches, we encountered armed groups outside. Is this typical for the area we were in, or do you think they'd been informed of our declaration of war and stated goals and posted guards on likely targets?"
[14:05] <Kuonji> (hmm too bad we don't have apollo justice around, he could see if anyone was nervous :P)
[14:05] <Reis> (Heh)
[14:06] <Alathon> Queen: "It's typical.. their cathedrals in the Confederacy are garrisoned."
[14:06] <Alathon> Queen: "And typically have at least one Evangelical to serve as both military and spiritual leader."
[14:07] <Alathon> Queen: ".. though as far as we can tell, those two are one and the same."
[14:07] <Alathon> (btw, this was brought up during the mission briefing, that if they didnt' garrison them, the churches tended to get burned down)
[14:07] <Reis> (Heh, yup, I was figuring that)
[14:07] <Alathon> Queen: "Unfortunately, this ensures that none of the Cathedrals outside of the UST propper will be 'soft' targets.
[14:08] <Alathon> Jupiter butts in, "And with the Evangelicals around, we can't expect normal troops to be effective."
[14:09] <Alathon> The queen faces Jupiter and nods a little in response.
[14:10] <Alathon> Mars, a little disgusted, "I can't believe we're burning churches.."
[14:10] <Alathon> Jupiter starts to respond, but Mars cuts her off.
[14:10] <Alathon> Mars: "I know, I know.. "
[14:10] <Alathon> Mars: "not the same thing.. whatever."
[14:11] <Alathon> Venus: "personally, I'm more worried about the long-term ramifications of us targeting what are su pposedly diplomatic installations."
[14:11] <Alathon> Mars, a little grudgingly, "There's that, too.."
[14:12] <Alathon> Endymion, his voice sounding rather off: "You would prefer another target, a military target?"
[14:12] * Reis blinkblinks.
[14:12] <Alathon> Jupiter snerks, and almost starts laughing.
[14:12] <Reis> (Hahahahahahah!)
[14:13] <Alathon> Venus bites her lip, Mercury cracks a smile as does the Princess
[14:13] <Alathon> The Queen looks mortified for a moment, and Mars looks.. a little agitated.
[14:13] * Reis blinks at the reactions, and decides that she just doesn't get the joke.
[14:13] <Alathon> Mars: "Real classy."
[14:14] <Kuonji> (lol)
[14:14] <Kuonji> (knowledge old world roll to get the joke? :P)
[14:15] <Alathon> Go for it, but it'll be a high diff
[14:15] * Sheena is just glad the sun's she sitting infront of are amused and not pissed
[14:15] <Alathon> Lines from Star Wars are fairly obscure by this year.
[14:15] <Reis> roll 1d20+6 Go for the GOLD!
[14:15] <AlaBot> Reis rolled 1d20+6 Go for the GOLD! --> [ 1d20=17 ]{23}
[14:15] <Mani> (I thought you said Star Wars was still known (and presumedly available))
[14:16] <Alathon> It is, but it wouldn't have a hundreth of the media penetration that it has for our generations
[14:16] <Reis> (Did that roll have me get it?)
[14:16] <Kuonji> roll 1d20+6
[14:16] <AlaBot> Kuonji rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{25}
[14:17] <Kuonji> (heh, there goes my only good roll for the session)
[14:17] * Reis blinkblinks, and snerks as she figures out what he was referencing.
[14:17] <Alathon> For a moment it looks like the meeting is going to dissolve into bickering, but the Queen intervenes and restores order.
[14:17] <Alathon> Serenity: "Ahem.."
[14:18] <Alathon> Serenity: "Our appologies..
[14:18] * Kuonji stifles a grin
[14:18] <Sheena> (yuuno kept sheena far away from thoes evil movies with lightsabers in them)
[14:18] <Alathon> She directs this towards the party.
[14:18] <Mani> ("We'll let it slide--this time.")
[14:19] <Sheena> (hey, whats the correct term for queen here, just -sama?)
[14:19] <Alathon> yes, but you don't need to add suffixes unless you wanna denote something abnormal about your speech
[14:19] <Sheena> (Line: "Not at all, nova-sama"
[14:19] <Sheena> (that cover the slipup im going for?)
[14:20] <Reis> (Heh, I've been adding them as a natural reflex thing :P )
[14:20] <Kuonji> (eh, kuonji adds suffixes all the time)
[14:20] <Mani> (He's unusual. :) )
[14:20] * Reis looks mortified, and shakes her head to the apology.
[14:20] <Sheena> (well does it?)
[14:20] <Reis> (I was going for it as 'completely bog-standard' :P )
[14:21] <Sheena> (ahh well)
[14:21] <Alathon> (... er, what do you mean by cover?)
[14:21] <Sheena> (fit? work?)
[14:22] <Sheena> (sheena's thinking of her as a magical nova, wanted that to slip into the talking)
[14:22] <Alathon> (uh.. if you want to say that, then say that)
[14:22] * Sheena shakes her head a bit as well
[14:22] <Sheena> "umm.. Not at all nova-sama"
[14:24] <Sheena> (hmm?)
[14:27] <Alathon> She looks a little perplexed, but nods in response.
[14:28] <Alathon> Serenity: "With all that said.. for better or worse.."
[14:28] <Alathon> She shoots a quick look at Endymion, who is looking back down at his comm.
[14:28] <Alathon> Serenity: "The floor is open for questions or comments."
[14:31] * Mani has no questions or comments she doesn't consider obvious.
[14:31] * Sheena probly should have a bunch but can't think of any when given the chance
[14:31] * Reis frowns in thought, and shakes her head.
[14:32] <Reis> (I've got some questions, but figure they're tangential at best, and risk mission security at worst :P )
[14:32] * Kuonji also has no questions
[14:32] <Alathon> (risk mission security?)
[14:33] <Reis> (Asking about the details of another mission? Would be a little troublesome since we were keeping the information segregated so nobody getting interrogated could bust another team :P )
[14:33] <Kuonji> (I have a question... but it's about game mechanics, so I'll ask you in pm :P)
[14:35] <Sheena> (hmm)
[14:35] <Reis> (Reis figures if it's going to be relevant to us, we'll be told in a later briefing, and if it's NOT, then us knowing will endanger the team that it is relevant to)
[14:35] <Alathon> Serenity: "If not, then we're done. Dismissed."
[14:36] <Sheena> (rats, my mind totaly blanked there)
[14:36] <Sheena> (couldnt come up with anything)
[14:36] * Reis salutes, and when the rest leave she does as well.
[14:36] * Kuonji salutes and follows Mani
[14:37] * Mani does the proper leaving thing and leaves.
[14:38] * Sheena bumps into a chair getting up, then sqinting she follows mani
[14:39] <Alathon> The senshi will get up and promply clump up in one corner of the room, having a quiet but heated discussion.
[14:39] <Alathon> Usagi follows you all.
[14:39] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hey!"
[14:39] <Mani> "Yes?"
[14:39] <Alathon> Usagi: "Just wanted to ask if you could spare a few minutes."
[14:39] <Sheena> "Ya boss?"
[14:39] <Alathon> Usagi: "Er, I mean, you all."
[14:39] <Mani> "Of course."
[14:40] <Sheena> "ya,"
[14:40] * Sheena takes off her shades and rubs her eyes a bit
[14:40] * Reis blinks, nods, and turns back to Usagi. "Of course, Usagi-san."
[14:40] <Sheena> "Its nice being able to see again"
[14:44] <Alathon> Usagi: "I just wanted to ask you a few more things.."
[14:44] * Reis nods curiously.
[14:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "You staying upstairs?"
[14:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "We could head up there for a few."
[14:45] <Mani> "Yes."
[14:45] * Mani leads the way to the suite.
[14:45] <Alathon> Usagi will follow.
[14:45] * Reis heads along.
[14:46] <Sheena> (am i lagy?)
[14:46] * Sheena heads along of corse
[14:46] <Alathon> (Don't think so.. I'm just going slowly)
[14:49] <Alathon> I'll assume you manage to reach your room without incident, or conversation
[14:50] <Alathon> The leftovers from the meals have been cleaned up and wheeled out.
[14:50] <Alathon> Your clothes haven't been though, so the place is still however much a mess you left it
[14:51] <Sheena> (we're not that messy..)
[14:51] <Alathon> In that case, the room isn't a mess ;p
[14:51] <Alathon> Usagi: "Okay.. first of all.."
[14:51] <Alathon> Usagi reaches for Mani and gives her a quick hug.
[14:52] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'm damned glad to see you all back here."
[14:52] <Alathon> She'll procede to give everyone hugs, including a rather surprised Yuuno.
[14:52] * Mani returns it.
[14:52] * Sheena is a bit suprised but happly goes with it.
[14:52] <Sheena> "Glad to be back,"
[14:53] * Kuonji returns the hug as well, though he looks slightly uncomfortable
[14:53] <Mani> "I'm sorry so many of Jupiter's group didn't make it, but it's good so many of us did come back."
[14:53] * Reis blinks at the hug in surprise, and nervously returns it.
[14:54] <Alathon> Usagi: "Anyways.."
[14:54] <Alathon> Usagi: "I just wanted a more informal impression of things.. Mercury can be so.. clinical."
[14:54] <Alathon> Usagi: "And more than that, I want your gut feelings.. the vibes you got off, well."
[14:55] <Alathon> Usagi: "The whole thing, for one."
[14:55] <Alathon> Usagi: "Does this seem like a sustainable sort of strategy to you?"
[14:55] <Alathon> Usagi: "Can you do this half a dozen times in a week?"
[14:55] <Kuonji> (hold on brb, my roommate is doing... something)
[14:55] <Kuonji> (jesus fucking christ)
[14:56] <Mani> "Sooner or later, groups will run into large groups, or out of luck."
[14:56] <Alathon> (something with a needle?)
[14:56] <Alathon> (or just being an idiot?)
[14:56] <Sheena> (his trying to fly again and ataru left the window open)
[14:56] <Alathon> Usagi frowns, and nods slowly.
[14:57] <Sheena> "I don't mind blowing the crap outa stuff if you want me to, but half dozen would be pushing it"
[14:58] <Mani> "Wars are fought largely with troops for a reason. These tactics are good to use in conjunction with them, but they can't be used in place of them."
[14:58] * Reis frowns, nodding. "We don't really have the numbers to sustain a long-term war - bad luck will end up hittng us all."
[14:58] <Sheena> "At that rate me and reis would just about gather our magic back, before shipping out again."
[14:58] <Alathon> Usagi: "What reason, though.. to occupy the UST?"
[14:58] <Alathon> Usagi: "We can't do that. I mean, literally, we don't have the capability to do that, without depopulating it."
[14:58] <Alathon> She's asking Mani this, in response to her troops statement.
[14:59] <Mani> "Because a small group can be wiped out easily and doesn't have enough necessary duplication in abilities, such as healing or teleportation."
[14:59] <Alathon> Usagi: "let me play devil's advocate for a moment, though.."
[14:59] <Alathon> Usagi: "The same is true of any normal human troops we send.. which is all we have."
[15:00] <Alathon> Usagi: "We don't have an equivalent to the Harleyriders."
[15:00] <Alathon> Usagi: "Humans just don't survive fights with metahumans."
[15:00] * Reis nods. "Yes, the problem is that we don't have enough metahumans to sustain a long-term war effort - and normal troops, will have problems against evangelists and angels..."
[15:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "So.. is the answer to risk our entire metahuman force, along with the Senshi, in massed attacks?"
[15:02] <Mani> "Well, small strike forces can only be sent in infrequently, when we have intelligence that a target is lightly defended."
[15:02] <Mani> "Co-ordinating with the AFS would certainly help both of us out."
[15:02] <Alathon> Usagi: "What do you mean lightly defended.. along the lines of the groups you fought earlier this afternoon?"
[15:02] * Reis shakes her head. "No, the problem is that strike missions are the best use of the metahumans... but, with small teams, bad luck will eventually start running our numbers down."
[15:03] <Alathon> Usagi: "We'd like to do that."
[15:03] <Alathon> Usagi then cuts herself off..
[15:03] <Mani> "It may be possible to restructure the teams to allow for better survivability."
[15:03] <Kuonji> (lovely)
[15:04] <Alathon> (what now?)
[15:04] <Kuonji> (he has work in an hour and he's wasted)
[15:04] <Alathon> (.... not good)
[15:04] <Alathon> (can he call in sick?)
[15:04] <Kuonji> no, he's planning on going)
[15:04] <Alathon> (or plead family emergency, or otherwise find some reason not to go in drunk and get fired?)
[15:04] <Reis> (Gah, indeed. This your roommate?)
[15:04] <Kuonji> (yes)
[15:05] <Kuonji> (the reason I went afk is because I heard stomping
[15:05] <Kuonji> )
[15:05] <Alathon> Usagi: "Maybe.."
[15:05] <Kuonji> (He's stomping empty cans)
[15:05] <Sheena> "We don't even controll our own island totaly let alone a land that far away, Would it be better to just hit prim, or open targets making a door for the riders?"
[15:05] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'm not sure how much better we can do.. keep in mind how few metas there are who not only have combat relevant powers, but effective defensive powers."
[15:06] <Alathon> Usagi: "that's part of what we're doing."
[15:06] * Reis frowns, nodding. "Working as fire support for a larger force would work, I think - if we can take down the evangelists and the angels in an enemy group, Harleyriders or Marines will sweep over them."
[15:06] * Mani thinks.
[15:07] <Alathon> Usagi: "There is that.."
[15:07] <Mani> "Well, being able to strike targets anywhere in the areas the control will make it hard for them to effectively defend them."
[15:08] <Mani> "I think if we're going to continue attacks like this, the most important thing would be good intelligence on the targets."
[15:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "We have people on the ground doing their best.."
[15:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "This afternoon's mission.. could it have been done better?"
[15:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "In a meaningful way, I mean."
[15:09] <Mani> "I'm just saying. We can't go in not knowing whether there will be a handful of soldiers and an evangelist or six evangelists and two dozen soldiers."
[15:09] <Sheena> "We did get lucky with that antimagic field"
[15:09] <Alathon> Usagi runs a hand through her hair.
[15:09] <Kuonji> "Jupiter-sama's mission does come to mind."
[15:09] <Sheena> "That quickly became a major problem for our group, "
[15:09] <Alathon> Usagi: "We can't count on ever having that sort of precision intelligence."
[15:09] <Mani> "Well, having an extra healer along would be great--if we have any to spare."
[15:09] <Alathon> Usagi: "Not without penetrating them to the highest levels, and that will take years."
[15:10] <Mani> "Unless we can arrive in a safe spot nearby and are able to scout the position in advance."
[15:11] <Alathon> Usagi shakes her head a little.
[15:11] <Mani> "And I'm sure it's going to be standard procedure now, but we need a medical team on-hand at the return teleport site."
[15:11] <Alathon> Usagi: "That poses two problems."
[15:11] <Alathon> Usagi: "And yeah.. that'll probably be me from here on out."
[15:11] <Alathon> Usagi, a little irritated: "Seeing as I'm not going to be going along."
[15:11] <Mani> "Just you?"
[15:12] <Alathon> Usagi raises an eyebrow.
[15:12] <Alathon> usagi: "Volunteering?"
[15:13] <Mani> "We had the king, the queen, and , by luck, myself there this time when Jupiter's team arrived, and we were hard pressed to handle it. If there'd been more wounded, we may not have been able to.
[15:13] <Alathon> Usagi sighs.
[15:13] <Mani> "I'm assuming the king and queen won't be waiting there every time."
[15:13] <Alathon> usagi shakes her head.
[15:14] <Alathon> Usagi: "I can try to get Venus to release.. oh, hell, what's her name, that empath."
[15:14] <Alathon> Usagi: "But we just don't have many people who can heal."
[15:14] <Alathon> Usagi: "We could have regular medics, I suppose."
[15:14] <Mani> "A standard medical team would be a big help, too. They could help stabilize people."
[15:14] <Alathon> (er..)
[15:14] * Reis frowns, nodding. "Even regular medics would be important, if they could keep people alive long enough for the healers to get there."
[15:15] * Mani frowns.
[15:15] <Mani> "Don't underestimate medics who don't have special powers."
[15:15] * Reis nods.
[15:17] <Alathon> (I don't think the game mechanics actually support that, unlesss you have like 4 people who are each 1 hp from dying)
[15:18] <Alathon> Usagi: "It's possible.. I'm not sure, though.. I can toss off one healing every.. five, six seconds."
[15:18] <Mani> (They can't stop people from losing hp until someone with a healing power can get to them?)
[15:18] <Alathon> (they can)
[15:18] <Alathon> (but you're talking for a period of time of 6-18 seconds)
[15:18] <Alathon> (since healing takes place instantly, and takes a round to activate)
[15:18] <Alathon> (use, rather)
[15:19] <Mani> (And it's ridiculous to say that modern medical aid can't help injured people, regardless of what the rules say or don't say.)
[15:19] <Alathon> Usagi: "But it wouldn't hurt.. and we have a lot more doctors than we have healers."
[15:19] <Alathon> (uh, how so?)
[15:19] <Alathon> (given that modern medical aid has all sorts of limits that magical healing doesn't?)
[15:19] <Mani> (The rules didn't support what you had Endymion doing last time, either, so far as I know. :) )
[15:19] <Mani> (How so what?)
[15:20] <Alathon> (that was a dramatic description of him doing a lot of 1d8+10s, when it comes down to it.)
[15:20] <Alathon> (er, +5's rather)
[15:20] <Mani> (How can medical personnel help injured people?)
[15:20] <Alathon> (can they help them in a meaningfully better way that soomeone who is capable of rapid magical healing?)
[15:21] <Reis> (Well, medical aid can reattach limbs...)
[15:21] <Reis> (Better? Nope. But, existent? Yup, and that's an advantage with so few healers)
[15:22] <Mani> (The can help them in conjunction with it, and if the magical healers are busy.)
[15:22] <Alathon> (okay.. regardless, Usagi isn't going to rule out getting medics stationed)
[15:22] <Alathon> (and we can compare magical healing to nonmagical healing after the game)
[15:23] <Alathon> Usagi: "But either way, it's one more step we can take."
[15:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "Going back to the intelligence thing.."
[15:24] <Alathon> Usagi: "We can only count on so much."
[15:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "And we have more targets that need hitting, for us to have any real impact on the UST, than we have targets on which we can have perfect intel."
[15:25] <Alathon> Usagi: ".. to me, that suggests that if we want to avoid risk, it'll mean utilizing you two a lot more."
[15:25] <Alathon> She looks from Reis to Sheena.
[15:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "Jupiter and Mars as well.. though god she'll be pissed."
[15:26] * Reis purses her lips. "Can we use observation time? It'd slow down the pace of assaults a bit, but if we observed our targets from long range, we'd have advance warning of what's there."
[15:26] <Alathon> Usagi looks over at Sheena.
[15:26] <Reis> "Just a few seconds to snipe from outside of their range can entirely alter the fight."
[15:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll answer that question with another question.. Sheena, what's it look like magically when we teleport?"
[15:29] <Reis> (/me cues the Jeopardy theme)
[15:31] <Kuonji> (DCG? you there?)
[15:32] <Alathon> Anyways
[15:32] <Alathon> She'll explain that they're very noticeable magically.
[15:32] <Alathon> Usagi: "The problem is that if we did that, we'd need to abandon insertions by teleport."
[15:33] <Alathon> Usagi: "And for that matter, any scouting would carry with it the additional risk of being spotted resulting in a counter-attack."
[15:33] <Alathon> Usagi bites her lip.
[15:34] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'm not sure our chances are really any better factoring the risks of losing the element of surprise."
[15:35] * Kuonji mumbles "Assuming we have sruprise on our side in the first place."
[15:35] <Sheena> (yes_
[15:35] <Sheena> (sorry ran to the can again)
[15:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "It's hard to maintain that when we're hitting four targets in one city."
[15:36] <Alathon> Usagi: ".. I don't know, but I suspect we'll be scaling back the number of targets per insertion, for that reason among others."
[15:37] <Sheena> "So more hit and runs? I mean.. me and reis really didnt leave much of anything of our targets left."
[15:37] <Alathon> Usagi: "it's not my call to make anymore, but, I think so."
[15:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "We need to hurt them quickly and badly."
[15:38] <Alathon> Usagi: ".. ideally, we would have decapitated their government today. That didn't happen."
[15:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "And I don't know when we'll get our next chance if they go to ground."
[15:39] * Reis frowns. "Is it still possible to make a strike, Usagi-san?"
[15:39] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hmm? What do you mean?"
[15:41] <Reis> "... Is there a chance of following up and succeeding at the strike that didn't work?"
[15:41] <Alathon> Usagi shakes hre head a little.
[15:41] <Alathon> usagi: "Even if there were, we wouldn't take it."
[15:41] * Sheena sighs a bit
[15:41] <Alathon> Usagi: "According to Jupiter, they were already massed.. the Evangelicals, I mean."
[15:41] <Sheena> "And i wanted to try and push for oribit.."
[15:42] * Reis nods. "Understood, we don't have an opening at all then?"
[15:42] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't think there ever was an opening.. and if there was, we missed it."
[15:43] <Alathon> Usagi: "Bear in mind, we knew there would be stiff opposition.. that's why Jupiter and her team were on that mission."
[15:43] <Kuonji> "Why didn't we just attack en masse instead of gooing after multiple targets?"
[15:43] <Alathon> Usagi: "They *were* the best the Marine meta squads had to offer, and Jupiter's the best fighter among the Inner Senshi."
[15:43] * Reis purses her lips. "How massed are they? Is there a chance that a sniper strike from kilometers away could do it? I know I'm down to about twenty percent, but I can still shoot."
[15:44] <Reis> "If we could just ignore the Evangelists from outside their range, that would be ideal."
[15:44] <Alathon> Usagi looks at Reis.
[15:44] <Alathon> Usagi: "Just.. no. No, I won't authorize it, nobody in their right mind would."
[15:44] * Reis nods. "Understood."
[15:44] <Alathon> Usagi: "Never mind that we don't even know where their Hand is now."
[15:44] <Sheena> "Im feeling rather drained at the moment,
[15:44] <Mani> "If they detect your teleport, how long would it take to call in a swarm of a thousand angels? For that matter, who's to say they don't already have them present?"
[15:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "And we don't know where all their mercenaries are."
[15:45] <Alathon> Usagi gives a quick nod to Mani for making the same point.
[15:45] <Alathon> Usagi then looks over at Kuonji.
[15:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "As for attacking en-masse, there's a couple reasons."
[15:45] * Reis nods. "I'm just trying to think of a way to get the target before he goes to ground... But I suppose if he's already out of sight, there's no point anyway."
[15:46] <Alathon> Yuuno: "It's been hours already.."
[15:46] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Maybe we should have acted sooner, but now?"
[15:46] * Reis nods, sighing. "Would've been nice to be able to get that much of the war done within the first day."
[15:47] <Kuonji> "Speaking of mercenaries, have we checked our drop box?"
[15:47] <Alathon> Usagi: "For one, while the Senshi can teleport a lot of people, they need to be tightly massed.. and keeping more than a handful of our people tightly together in combat is a very, very risky proposition."
[15:47] * Reis shakes her head. "Not yet, I've been busy preparing for the upcoming war."
[15:47] <Alathon> Usagi: "Not unless you have."
[15:47] <Reis> (It's only been a couple days though)
[15:47] <Alathon> (it's been like.. 6 I think)
[15:47] <Reis> (Yeah, not that long)
[15:48] * Reis purses her lips. "Should we do so? It's been almost a week."
[15:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yeah.. tomorrow, after you've recuperated."
[15:49] <Alathon> Usagi: "Anyways.. Sakura, the other reason is that just decapitating their government wouldn't nearly be enough."
[15:49] * Reis nods. "Right."
[15:50] <Alathon> Usagi: "They have a deeply entrenched power structure."
[15:50] <Reis> "Bureaucracy and apparatchiks?"
[15:50] <Alathon> usagi: "Worst case, we'd just create a martyr and they'd keep chugging along. We need to eradicate this evangelical church in it's entirety."
[15:50] <Alathon> Usagi shakes her head a little.
[15:50] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'm thinking more along the lines of the Evangelicals."
[15:50] <Alathon> Usagi: "Junior and senior both."
[15:52] <Alathon> Usagi: "We've accomplished a lot already, though."
[15:52] <Alathon> Usagi: "Don't let that one failure get you down.. YOUR team succeeded."
[15:53] <Alathon> Usagi: "We've sent as strong a message as we can to the Confederacy that the Texans are on the way out."
[15:53] <Alathon> Usagi: "And simultaneously taken out a handful of their Evangelicals."
[15:54] * Mani nods.
[15:54] * Reis nods as well.
[15:54] <Alathon> Usagi: "Three of our four teams completed their objectives."
[15:55] <Alathon> Usagi: "And Jupiter's team was not entirely unsuccessful either."
[15:55] <Alathon> Usagi: "They took a good chunk out of the senior Evangelicals."
[15:56] * Mani thinks.
[15:56] <Alathon> Usagi: "... and honestly, I hear you when it comes to the risk."
[15:56] <Alathon> usagi: "especially the question of numbers."
[15:56] <Alathon> Usagi: "We're keenly aware of just how quickly things could go south if they have a few Evas in the pocket, or some of their mercs show up inf orce."
[15:57] <Mani> "With regard to churches, would it be reasonable to destroy them with a ranged attack, like we did the embassy? It seems to me that the cross would be either destroyed, buried, or exposed and undefended."
[15:58] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll suggest that we test that."
[15:58] <Alathon> Usagi: "We already know that Jupiter's thundershowers aren't sufficient.. but they aren't nearly as focused."
[15:59] * Reis frowns. "Aim through the church and try to snipe the cross, instead of blowing up the entire church?"
[15:59] <Alathon> Usagi: "That would simplify things, certainly."
[15:59] <Alathon> Usagi purses her lips, then shakes her head.
[16:00] <Alathon> Usagi: "Short run.. maybe."
[16:00] <Alathon> Usagi: "Long run... well.. Actually."
[16:00] <Alathon> Usagi: "it might be better to leave the structures alone."
[16:00] * Reis blinks, cocking her head curiously.
[16:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "If we succeed in changing things in the UST, they'd be a poignant reminder of the past."
[16:01] <Alathon> Usagi: "Whether that's good or bad, I don't know."
[16:01] <Alathon> usagi: "Could go either way... hm."
[16:01] <Alathon> She mulls that over a bit.
[16:02] <Alathon> Yuuno: "That's a bit of a gamble.."
[16:03] * Reis nods. "And if we leave the structure mostly intact while we destroy the crosses, if it doesn't work, we can still perform a full assault, instead of having to dig through the rubble."
[16:03] <Mani> "Does the version of their religion they tell the normal citizens doesn't include life draining and slaughter?"
[16:04] <Mani> (-doesn't)
[16:05] <Alathon> Usagi: "It'll be interesting to see how we can convey that to them."
[16:05] <Alathon> Usagi: "At the very least, there should be obvious physical changes for them."
[16:05] <Alathon> Usagi: "That sort of thing is a huge tax on their physical stamina."
[16:06] <Sheena> "We did get cheered on for blowing that secound church up"
[16:06] <Sheena> "Not every one buys there stories
[16:06] <Mani> "Too bad we can't secretly replace the crosses with nonfunctional ones... Hm, would the evangelicals realize what we've done or just think they'd stopped working?"
[16:07] <Alathon> Usagi: "That was in the Confederacy, though."
[16:07] * Sheena hmms
[16:07] <Sheena> "Bombing from orbit?"
[16:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "We used to be able to do that.. militaries, I mean."
[16:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "But.. can you see through clouds at that range?"
[16:08] <Alathon> Usagi: "Heck.. don't you need tobreath?"
[16:08] * Reis nods. "That one's a puppet state, occupying forces are rarely popular... Usagi-san, what were the Confederacy churches for? Texans who were present, or Confederate 'converts'?"
[16:08] * Sheena shurgs
[16:09] * Reis raises a hand. "I've got an environmental spell that handles that for me."
[16:09] <Sheena> "Before we pushed to war time i was working a bit on making a push into the stratospeah."
[16:09] <Reis> "I don't have that visual range personally, though... do we have any long-range infrared scopes?"
[16:10] <Alathon> Usagi: "That can reach miles, through weather? No."
[16:10] <Alathon> (and no, a telescope wouldn't make your infravision super long ranged)
[16:10] <Reis> (I wouldn't think so :P )
[16:11] <Reis> (I guess CT doesn't have IRST systems, then? :P )
[16:11] <Alathon> (They don't have much int he way of artillery, so if it's related to that, no)
[16:11] <Alathon> Usagi: "If it were feasible, that would be ideal."
[16:12] <Reis> (Aircraft technology, actually, they've got a 15km system mounted on the Mig-35 :P )
[16:12] <Alathon> Usagi: "precision strikes with minimal risk, and perhaps even better, with no way for them to retaliate against the attackers."
[16:12] <Alathon> Usagi: "That's decidedly demoralizing."
[16:12] * Sheena nods
[16:12] <Mani> "What about teleporting in bombs?"
[16:12] <Sheena> "We need something like that, Or every one gets bisy and we tripple the population"
[16:13] <Sheena> "We're just not a civilation that can do "war' as it is"
[16:13] <Alathon> Usagi: "Bombs are.. problematic. Without someone weakening one of the crosses, I don't think we have anything that can destroy magical artifacts of that magnitude."
[16:13] <Alathon> Usagi: "We could keep the collateral damage to a minimum with shaped charges, but.."
[16:14] * Reis purses her lips, nodding. "I remember reading a few things... Perhaps I could work on a long-range infrared system... With that and long-range attackers, we can bomb them apart from the air."
[16:14] <Mani> "Could be good for non-churches. Teleport in, arm it, teleport out."
[16:14] * Reis nods. "Or just softening up the Evangelists guarding it."
[16:14] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[16:14] <Alathon> Usagi: "Definately."
[16:14] <Reis> "Set off a bomb in the church, teleport back in and destroy the cross..."
[16:14] <Alathon> Usagi: "Ultimately, we wouldn't even need teams for that; the Senshi could handle that entirely."
[16:14] <Mani> "How about gas?"
[16:15] <Alathon> Usagi: "Gas is awfully uncontrollable, even released in a structure."
[16:15] <Mani> "Ture, but if we have protection and they don't, it can only help."
[16:16] <Alathon> Usagi, doubtfully: "there is that."
[16:16] <Mani> "Hm. For that matter, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea for me to carry around a few grenade, if possible."
[16:16] <Kuonji> "If we can figure out how to manufacture one of thise eversmoking bottles, that would help."
[16:17] <Alathon> Usagi nods to both the suggestions.
[16:20] <Alathon> Usagi: "On a higher level.. any ideas how to go about getting rid of the Texan leadership?"
[16:20] <Alathon> Usagi: "Mind you.. insurrection isn't really an option. We've explored that.. not happening."
[16:21] * Reis frowns. "Without an insurrection, long-term change isn't really possible - they'll still want to act the exact same way once their leaders aren't around."
[16:21] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[16:22] <Sheena> "It seems the riders are set on wiping that out'
[16:22] <Sheena> "Right?"
[16:22] <Alathon> Usagi: "However, without the magical infrastructure, they won't have the means to do anything with that desire."
[16:22] <Alathon> Usagi nods.
[16:22] <Mani> "I wonder how difficult it is for them to make their crosses and how much the energy gained from them helps them."
[16:22] <Alathon> usagi: "and.. that. If we can end this quickly, there's at least some hope that the AFS occupation that follows will be, if not benevolent, at least not overly brutal."
[16:23] * Mani ponders.
[16:23] * Reis frowns, nodding. "That's true, but if even one Evangelist gets out, he can train up a second rising of them..."
[16:23] <Alathon> Usagi: "Puu thought it likely that they need the huge energy influx from those crosses to produce them in numbers."
[16:23] <Mani> "What happens to the energy once the cross takes it? Is it removed on-site, transmitted, or what? If it's transmitted, maybe we could interfere with that."
[16:23] <Alathon> Usagi: "I don't know.."
[16:24] <Reis> "Should we try to just steal one, take it home, and examine it?"
[16:24] <Mani> "Do we know if any exotic materials are used in their manufacture? If there is, and we can limit their access to it..."
[16:25] <Mani> "They seem rather sensitive to touch..."
[16:25] * Reis nods. "We'd have to figure out how, but, do we want to? If we could examine it in-depth, we could answer any questions we have."
[16:25] <Mani> "Maybe if we brought Ken on a mission..."
[16:25] <Alathon> Usagi: "What for?"
[16:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "oh, wait.. to carry one."
[16:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "Right."
[16:26] * Sheena seems to still be thinking on something.
[16:26] * Mani gets an odd expression on her face.
[16:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "..it could be worth our while to take one. Thus far, I think we've just been thinking in terms of getting rid fo them all."
[16:26] <Alathon> Usagi: "There can't be more than a couple thousand, tops."
[16:27] <Sheena> "Thats quite a lot,"
[16:27] <Mani> "Not that I'm suggesting anything along these lines, but I wonder how much one would go for at the Bar."
[16:27] * Reis nods. "Even if that's the end objective, having one to examine would make it easier to both get rid of them all, and possibly even make it so we can find a way that doesn't necessitate attacking every single village church in Texas."
[16:28] <Sheena> "Hmm, somthing like a linked critical failur reis?"
[16:28] <Sheena> "Set em all off"
[16:28] <Alathon> Usagi looks surprised, speculative, then worried.
[16:29] <Alathon> (at mani's comment)
[16:29] <Alathon> Usagi: "I hope they don't think of that and start pawning them."
[16:29] * Reis shrugs. "Possibly, or if we could simply broadcast on the right frequency to jam energy transmission..."
[16:30] <Reis> "Or find out where specifically it's supposed to be going."
[16:32] <Alathon> Usagi nods slowly.
[16:32] <Reis> "Either way, our biggest problem has always been not knowing quite enough."
[16:35] <Alathon> Usagi runs a hand through her hair again, before continuing.
[16:35] <Alathon> Usagi: "Ain't that the truth."
[16:36] * Mani nods.
[16:36] <Alathon> Usagi: "Anyways.."
[16:36] <Kuonji> (fuck, I think it might be too late to do laundry now)
[16:36] <Alathon> usagi: "Think you'll be up for a lighter mission tomorrow?"
[16:37] * Reis thinks for a moment, then nods. "I believe I will, Usagi-san."
[16:37] <Alathon> Usagi: "Probably early morning-ish, don't want to hit at the same time as before, and dusk is a pretty good time."
[16:37] <Mani> "Yes."
[16:37] <Alathon> Usagi: "Good."
[16:37] <Alathon> Usagi then frowns.
[16:37] <Alathon> She shakes her head a little, as if shaking off an idea.
[16:37] <Alathon> Usagi: "Anyways.."
[16:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "Anything you want from me before I go pester mom and dad?"
[16:38] <Reis> "Should we also hit the bar, after the mission?"
[16:38] <Kuonji> "Can I talk to you privately briefly?"
[16:38] <Alathon> Usagi: "Yeah.. I was almost thinking before."
[16:39] <Alathon> Usagi: "Uh, sure."
[16:39] <Alathon> Usagi: "Right now, or later, or wh at?"
[16:39] <Mani> ("Don't worry. You'll get it some day.")
[16:39] * Sheena looks up from her ploting
[16:39] <Sheena> "I can't think of anything."
[16:40] <Kuonji> "What ever works best for you, I suppose."
[16:41] <Sheena> (is yuuno around?)
[16:41] <Alathon> She's there.
[16:42] <Alathon> (hmm.. do people feel like a short or long game today?)
[16:42] <Reis> (I'm good for long)
[16:42] <Sheena> (im good for what ever)
[16:43] <Mani> (Mm, I guess long is ok, if we have a break.)
[16:43] <Kuonji> (short would be awesome because there's a fetish night at a club tonight and I need to do laundry)
[16:44] <Alathon> Alright
[16:45] <Alathon> Usagi: "Hmm."
[16:45] <Reis> (... Fetish night. Uh, good to know.)
[16:45] <Kuonji> (it should be fun, lots of freaks)
[16:45] <Mani> (Sounds like it could be fun.)
[16:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "You know.. hm."
[16:46] <Alathon> Usagi: "Sheena, Reis, how much does dim-hopping take out of you?"
[16:46] <Mani> (Now Usagi wants a fetish night.)
[16:46] <Alathon> (who says she doesn't already get them?)
[16:46] <Sheena> "Not much at all"
[16:46] <Sheena> "It more skill then power"
[16:47] <Mani> (She wants one with us.)
[16:47] <Reis> "Very little. About... 1% of my reserves, at full extension."
[16:48] <Alathon> Usagi: "Okay, visit the bar first."
[16:48] <Sheena> "It's the quatum math and adjustments that make it a pain"
[16:48] <Alathon> Usagi: "Tomorrow morning.. very early. Five, six a.m. to allow you time to get there and back, and prep."
[16:49] * Reis nods. "Right."
[16:50] <Mani> "Go there, retrieve messages, and return?"
[16:50] <Alathon> usagi nods.
[16:51] <Alathon> Yuuno, hesitantly: "Mani, do you mind if I don't come along?"
[16:51] <Mani> "I don't have a problem with it if Usagi doesn't."
[16:51] <Alathon> Usagi looks curious for a moment, then seems to 'get it'.
[16:51] <Alathon> Usagi shakes her head.
[16:51] <Alathon> Usagi: "of course not."
[16:52] * Reis nods.
[16:53] <Alathon> Usagi: "In fact.. right."
[16:53] <Alathon> Usagi drops the thought mid-sentence.
[16:53] <Alathon> She then looks over at Kuonji.
[16:53] <Alathon> Usagi: "Sakura, now's just fine, if you wanna head over to my office?"
[16:54] * Kuonji nods
[16:54] <Alathon> Usagi: "if there's nothing else, let's do that.. and everyone, get a good night's sleep."
[16:55] <Reis> "Right, Usagi-san."
[16:55] <Alathon> She grins after saying the second part.
[16:55] * Mani nods.
[16:56] <Mani> "You, too, if you can."
[16:56] <Alathon> Usagi: "I'll do my best!"
[16:56] <Alathon> She'll then leave, presumably with Sakura in tow.
[16:57] <Sheena> "Hmm, oy yuunochan"
[16:57] <Alathon> Is there anything you all want to accomplish in the few hours you have before bedtime?
[16:57] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Yeah, Sheena?"
[16:57] * Sheena walks over to the elfgirl as they go
[16:57] <Sheena> (ya)
[16:57] <Kuonji> (turn yuuno back into a ferret)
[16:57] <Sheena> "Do you know anything about space travel with our systems of magic?"
[16:58] * Reis blinks. "Environmental protection, and then just increase the speed, wouldn't that be it?"
[16:58] <Sheena> "I mean.. i could just hit the breach and flood my core out and see what happen, but something sain may be easyer"
[16:58] * Sheena hmm at what reis says
[16:59] <Sheena> "Problem with that is what happens if we hit a nul field? Or lose power?"
[16:59] <Sheena> "I rather not feel what exploseive decompresion is like"
[16:59] <Alathon> Yuuno starts to talk, stops, listens, then starts again.
[16:59] <Alathon> Yuuno: "So, you need something more permanent"
[16:59] <Reis> "Well... anything we wanted to do magically would run into that problem if we hit an antimagic field, wouldn't it?"
[16:59] <Alathon> Yuuno: "Something that isn't dependant on magical fields?"
[16:59] * Sheena nods
[16:59] <Sheena> "Right,"
[17:00] * Sheena takes off her glasses
[17:00] <Sheena> "And we do have profe such an effect is posible"
[17:01] <Alathon> Yuuno: "an effect.. that's immune to anti-magic fields? No."
[17:01] <Alathon> Yuuno: "magically crafted non-magical gear that stands up to the rigors of outer space, absolutely."
[17:01] <Sheena> (that fiels didnt effect her eyes did it?_)
[17:01] <Alathon> (it did while you were in it)
[17:02] <Sheen
