Crystal Tokyo: Outward Bound

[Alathon]

Session 41 - part 2

[22:21] Mani: "So, if we do meet any angels, is everyone going to be shooting at them, procluding melee?"
[22:21] Alathon: And from what you all have seen, the lighter vehicles generally seat two, and the heavies either two or three.
[22:21] Sheena: "Spreading shells.. Incase i need to hit any one with a wave of power"
[22:21] * Reis taps her cross and swishes her sword out as it forms.
[22:21] Alathon: Martha: "I'll be shooting at them, that's for sure."
[22:22] Mani: "Well, I guess I'll just have to wait for any to close before joining in."
[22:22] Alathon: Martha: "That works.. I'm on Angel detail, unofficially."
[22:22] Alathon: Martha looks almost a little regretful.
[22:24] Sheena: "There a better fight then a bunch of wimps any way, right?"
[22:25] Alathon: Martha: "Yeah.. you could say that."
[22:25] Alathon: Martha will.. unexpectedly.. start to slow down a bit.
[22:25] Alathon: She's peering through the winshield at something.
[22:26] * Mani tries to see what she's looking at.
[22:26] * Reis frowns at that and tries to see as well.
[22:26] Alathon: At this distance it's hard to say, there's a lot of dust out front.
[22:26] Alathon: and bleah
[22:26] Kuonji: "It looks like there are some bikes coming back through the lines."
[22:27] Alathon: Martha looks over to Kuonji, surprised.
[22:27] Alathon: Martha: "Good eyes."
[22:27] Mani: ("I paid enough for them!")
[22:27] Alathon: Martha: "Yeah.. if they're back, it means we're close.. which means, we slow up a bit, and give Lysle some space to move without worrying about us."
[22:28] Alathon: Martha: "The hummers and bradlees will move up and dump rounds to get their attention.. once they follow, it'll be more the hogs game."
[22:28] Mani: (We have binoculars in our gear?)
[22:28] Alathon: On closer examination, around half of the hummers have a diffferent sort of gun mounted than the one this hummer has.
[22:28] Alathon: Yes.
[22:29] * Mani takes hers out and looks through them.
[22:29] Alathon: It's hard to find targets with the binocs, but when you do, they're much clearer.
[22:29] * Kuonji decides to copy mani
[22:29] Mani: (What, again?)
[22:29] Kuonji: (:D)
[22:30] Alathon: There's no gunfire yet.
[22:30] * Sheena focus for a moment
[22:30] Alathon: But the front line of vehicles has pulled away from the ridres and your car.
[22:30] Sheena: Roll 1d20+9 wide area search
[22:30] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+9 wide area search --> [ 1d20=17 ]{26}
[22:30] Sheena: "Come out come out where ever you are.."
[22:32] Kuonji: roll 1d20+11 spot
[22:32] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+11 spot --> [ 1d20=6 ]{17}
[22:32] Kuonji: (damn ;_;)
[22:34] * Kuonji sighs and puts the binoculars down
[22:34] Sheena: "The colum is still off a good bit but its just like martha called it"
[22:34] Sheena: "The rides are closeing in fast"
[22:34] Sheena: "I havn't spoted anything in the air yet but i can't search for magic"
[22:35] Alathon: Martha: "Hmm."
[22:35] Alathon: Martha: "Well.. if you want info on how these fights go, just watch."
[22:36] Alathon: Soon enough, the chatter of heavy machinegunf ire starts up.
[22:37] * Reis nods and watches.
[22:37] Alathon: Ken: "They're... damn."
[22:37] Alathon: Martha is, at this point, putting the hummer in a U-turn.
[22:37] Sheena: "First suprise attack worked, the texens havechanged formation and responed.
[22:38] Sheena: "Ya, they fell for it, there following the return"
[22:38] * Mani switches to and from the binoculars as appropriate to get the best view.
[22:38] Alathon: It's awfully hard to tell with all the dust and smoke getting kicked up.
[22:38] * Reis shakes her head and her sword speaks: 'Wahrheit'.
[22:39] Alathon: Soon, the front line of vehicles is falling back, with the riders slipping between them.
[22:39] Mani: "I think we might want to arrange for someone to be flying next time."
[22:39] Alathon: It's damned near impossible to see much past where the heavier vehicles were, with the cloud of bluish smoke obscuring everything.
[22:40] Sheena: "Ya, next time ill be in the air with that ring"
[22:40] Alathon: ((what ring?))
[22:40] Sheena: (the invisiblity one)
[22:40] Alathon: ((dude0)
[22:40] Sheena: (dont sakura hav eit?0
[22:40] Alathon: ((there is no invisibilty one))
[22:41] Reis: (No, Sak's invisibility is all-natural)
[22:41] Reis: (The ring Sakura got was 'meld with walls' or something)
[22:41] Sheena: (oh my bad, forgot that then i got it consued with the stone ring)
[22:41] Alathon: ((he means the shit that was done OOC after last session.. which was both ooc and stupid, AND wrong because I read off the wrong charts))
[22:41] Sheena: (no not that)
[22:41] Alathon: ((.. and wrong because it cheapened sakura's powers))
[22:41] Alathon: ((oh, okay ;p ))
[22:41] Sheena: (i got it confuwsed with the stone ring)
[22:42] Alathon: The next few minutes are stop and go.
[22:42] Kuonji: (what about my powers being cheapened?)
[22:42] Sheena: "ya, next time ill just be in the air, out of range"
[22:42] Alathon: ((handing out items that duplicate characters' signature powers is lame))
[22:42] Alathon: ((though sometimes random rolls will just do that.. but not gonna let it slide when I'm actually reading off the wrong chart ;p ))
[22:42] Alathon: Martha: "Might make sense, at that."
[22:43] Mani: "Mm. Think you should go up or I should? You're definitely faster, but I can take more punishment."
[22:43] Sheena: (oh good, so no blow the hell out of a mountan ring? or should sheena power be bouncyness?)
[22:43] Alathon: The clatter of light and heavy gunfire is pretty much unending."
[22:43] Sheena: "Lets wait thill some angles show up, then give em a suprise"
[22:43] Mani: "Not this battle, in any case. We've got to clear it with Lysle."
[22:44] Mani: "Just so someone can see clearly next time."
[22:44] Alathon: There's a huge burst of brightness through the smoke, off to the east.
[22:44] Alathon: Martha: "Fuck."
[22:44] Sheena: "I can see sorta clearly.. THe texans are woah"
[22:44] * Kuonji looks at the ball of fire
[22:44] Kuonji: "Whoah?"
[22:44] Sheena: "What the hell did that"
[22:45] Alathon: A fireball rises above the smoke...
[22:45] Kuonji: roll 1d20+11 spot
[22:45] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+11 spot --> [ 1d20=16 ]{27}
[22:45] Kuonji: "Remember what I said about plans and contact with the enemy?"
[22:45] Sheena: "Some one just took out a bunch of riders and one humvee with a blast of fire,"
[22:45] Sheena: "I think that was our cue,"
[22:46] Mani: "What do you say, Martha? Shall those of us who can maneuver out there go and lend a hand?"
[22:46] * Reis frowns. "Or was it an Evangelist...?"
[22:46] Sheena: "Shit!'
[22:47] Alathon: Martha: "I don't.. what?"
[22:47] Sheena: "There comming in way to fast, somethings wrong"
[22:47] Alathon: Martha: "That isn't necessarily somethign wrong.. that's really their only move."
[22:47] * Mani empowers her swords.
[22:47] Alathon: Martha: "We ought to be able to keep them at distance."
[22:47] Sheena: "Your men arnt"
[22:47] Sheena: "I ment very fast there being oven taken'
[22:47] Kuonji: "Hey mani, if you want some poison on that blade, now's the time."
[22:47] * Reis frowns and looks to Sheena.
[22:47] Alathon: Martha looks over her shoulder, surprised.
[22:47] Alathon: Martha: "You're kidding."
[22:48] Mani: "Let's not try applying poison to sharp objects in a vehicle moving offroad."
[22:48] Alathon: Martha: "I agree!"
[22:48] Sheena: "They got em"
[22:48] Kuonji: (/me mumbles "cowards")
[22:48] Sheena: "The texen colum has smashed into the arc of attackign hogs
[22:49] Alathon: Martha is at this point, revving up the humvee and making best speed away.
[22:49] Mani: "Just give the word if you want us to go."
[22:49] * Mani waits.
[22:49] Alathon: Martha: "I... damn."
[22:50] * Reis nods, cocking her head.
[22:50] Sheena: "We can take em out.. all of them"
[22:50] Alathon: Martha: "Fuck it, let's get out of this thing. We're all more powerful with some breathign room."
[22:50] Alathon: She slams the breaks on.
[22:50] Alathon: which is unpleasant for everyone, but managebale.
[22:50] Kuonji: "About time."
[22:50] Sheena: "Heh heh.." smiles oddly as she gets out
[22:50] * Kuonji cracks his neck
[22:50] Alathon: roll 1d10
[22:50] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d10 --> [ 1d10=7 ]{7}
[22:50] Mani: "Ok. Anyone who can't maneuver around moving vehicles--don't try!"
[22:51] * Mani gets out.
[22:51] * Reis shakes herself better and piles out of the humvee.
[22:51] Sheena: (death by cracking neck?)
[22:51] * Kuonji activates his invisibility and gets out
[22:51] Alathon: At this point, there's a whole mess of smoke to the east, with vehicles moving every which way...
[22:51] Kuonji: "Here's hoping I don't get hit with friendly fire."
[22:51] Mani: "Let me know if I'm attacking near you."
[22:51] * Sheena lets Dark heart form in front of her,
[22:51] Alathon: Several large covered trucks of an unknown make bust out through the clouds.. one is heading towards the party.. and for better or worse, spins out of control and falls on its side.
[22:52] * Reis twirls Swordbreaker, making sure she has a secure grip.
[22:52] Alathon: init
[22:52] Kuonji: ("Let's get wild!")
[22:52] Mani: (How hard would it be to dodge vehicles when heading to the action at Speed 1?)
[22:52] Sheena: "Sakura, wait for me to say hello first ok?"
[22:52] Kuonji: roll 1d20+14
[22:52] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{17}
[22:52] Sheena: Roll 1d20+5
[22:52] Kuonji: (god damn >_<)
[22:52] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{8}
[22:52] * Reis triggers a spell first, if she can.
[22:52] Sheena: (ROFL)
[22:52] Alathon: It wouldn't be that hard, unless they were moving at full speed. even then, it'd still be manageable.
[22:52] Kuonji: (al, I fucking hate your bot dude)
[22:52] Reis: (Or do I not have time?)
[22:52] Mani: roll 1d20+9
[22:52] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{15}
[22:52] Kuonji: (seriously)

[22:53] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+10 martha --> [ 1d20=8 ]{18}
[22:53] * Sheena flipps on her ct armor
[22:54] Alathon: ((after I say init, no actions that aren't on your turn, or free))
[22:54] Reis: (Darn)
[22:54] Reis: roll 1d20+6
[22:54] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{23}
[22:54] Alathon: Ken takes a bad spill getting off the roof of the Humvee.
[22:56] Mani: (And somehow manages to actually get run over by the parked Humvee.)
[22:57] Alathon: Fight order: Reis, Team 2, Martha, Kuonji, Mani, Eva, Team 3, Team 1, Sheena
[22:57] Alathon: Reis is up first.
[22:57] Alathon: The texans are piling out of their fallen truck, some of them taking cover behind it
[22:57] * Reis triggers a spell in a blur of light.
[22:57] Alathon: Just as you all are piling out.
[22:57] Sheena: (so did thoes other trucks stop or keep going?)
[22:58] Alathon: One of them kept going, the other isn't in your field of vision.
[22:58] Alathon: you done reis?
[22:59] * Reis moves back a bit to let the tougher ones get between her and any incoming smackery.
[22:59] Mani: "Activate uniforms!"
[22:59] Reis: (Done)
[22:59] * Reis pokes her uniform on too, if there's time for that.
[23:00] Alathon: activating uniforms is a free action
[23:00] * Kuonji activates his
[23:00] Reis: (Woot)
[23:00] Reis: (Well, NOW I'm done)
[23:00] Alathon: four texan riflemen, in what look to be camoflauge fatigues, open fire on the team
[23:00] Mani: (Except it has to be on your turn how Alathon's been ruling it.)
[23:00] Alathon: they're all firing at the nearest, most visible target -- which is Sheena, with her getup.
[23:01] Alathon: roll 4#1d20+7
[23:01] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 4#1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{15}, [ 1d20=8 ]{15}, [ 1d20=2 ]{9}, [ 1d20=19 ]{26}
[23:01] Alathon: dodge, ignore, ?
[23:01] Mani: (Retry?)
[23:02] Sheena: (Fail! no wait!)
[23:02] * Reis yells to Sheena, in Japanese: "Permission to use the big shots against the fire teams, senpai?"
[23:02] Sheena: Roll 1d20+7
[23:02] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{8}
[23:02] Alathon: ((okay.. you fail))

[23:03] Alathon: Sheena gets peppered with rifle shots. None of which so much as penetrate her schoolgirl outfit.
[23:03] Alathon: ... well fuck
[23:03] * Sheena shreaks "Granted!" as she guards herself
[23:03] Alathon: I just realized somethign ;p
[23:03] Kuonji: (penetrate and schoolgirl...)
[23:03] Sheena: (no outfit)
[23:03] Alathon: ((I thought you put it on?))
[23:03] Reis: (Heh, I was right, Sheens can tank against the rifles)
[23:03] Alathon: If you didn't.. well, a couple of those hurt
[23:03] Sheena: (oh, then relizse something else)
[23:04] * Reis nods, licking her lips and glaring at that particular team.
[23:04] Alathon: what I realized was that martha can blow up the friggin truck, and would do so in an instant ;p
[23:04] Sheena: (so can me and reis)
[23:04] Alathon: Martha takes aim and fires three bolts of lightning.. at the truck.
[23:04] Sheena: (trucks doomed any way you look at it)
[23:04] Alathon: roll 1d20+26
[23:04] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{31}
[23:04] Alathon: roll 1d20+21
[23:04] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{38}
[23:04] Alathon: roll 1d20+16
[23:04] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{17}
[23:04] Mani: (Yeah, but it's her turn now. :) )
[23:05] Alathon: sheena, gimme a reflex save
[23:05] Alathon: hmm.. now.. how does a truck do fort saves..
[23:05] Reis: (... Poor Sheena)
[23:05] Sheena: Roll 1d20+10
[23:05] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{19}
[23:05] Alathon: The third of Martha's bolts is errant. very errant. It just baarely misses Sheena.
[23:06] Alathon: The other two slam into the overturned truck's underside.
[23:06] Alathon: roll 2#1d20+5
[23:06] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{13}, [ 1d20=15 ]{20}
[23:06] Alathon: it explodes.
[23:06] Alathon: roll 10d8
[23:06] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 10d8 --> [ 10d8=58 ]{58}
[23:06] * Sheena leans back as the bolt flys by
[23:06] Sheena: "Hey now!"
[23:06] Alathon: The texans you see nearby are immolated.
[23:06] Alathon: The ones inside.. well, you can make a wild guess.
[23:07] Alathon: Martha looks over to Sheena.
[23:07] Alathon: Martha: "Shit! My bad."
[23:07] Alathon: ... and that accounts for all the texans in that truck. damn that was silly ;p
[23:07] Alathon: and you were right, anyone with an energy attack could have done the same
[23:08] Alathon: that's a good idea to keep in mind
[23:08] Alathon: Martha looks around.
[23:08] Mani: ("Ken! Stay by the Humvee!" ;) )
[23:08] Alathon: Ken isn't going anywhere, he's face down, unconscious.
[23:08] Kuonji: (...)
[23:08] Sheena: "Shall i take out the rest?"
[23:09] Kuonji: (heh, if ken dies, I'll laugh... OOC of course)
[23:09] Alathon: Martha: "You think you can pick them out from us in all this crap?"
[23:09] Sheena: "Easly"
[23:09] Alathon: Martha: "You know what? Go for it."
[23:09] Alathon: Martha: "Fuck 'em up."
[23:09] * Sheena girns as it gets darker around her
[23:09] Alathon: She sounds positively violent saying this.
[23:09] Sheena: "All right,"
[23:10] * Reis cheers Sheena on.
[23:10] * Sheena flys up about 200 feet and starts looking into the melee to see the magic
[23:10] * Mani activates her uniform.
[23:10] Sheena: "Dark Heart, can you identify the Bikers at all from the texans?"
[23:11] Alathon: Dark Heart; "xxxxxx"
[23:11] Kuonji: *Nobody can see it, but Kuonji looks very dissapointed
[23:11] * Sheena frowns to herself
[23:12] Alathon: Sheena, reflex save
[23:12] Sheena: Roll 1d20+10
[23:12] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{21}
[23:12] Alathon: Out of the corner of your eye, you pick something bright out.. and figure it can't be good, being up in the air like.
[23:12] Alathon: And you're right
[23:12] Alathon: roll 10d6
[23:12] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 10d6 --> [ 10d6=38 ]{38}
[23:12] Alathon: You eat 17 damage.. CT armor doesn't count against lightning bolts.
[23:13] Alathon: A bright blue-white streak of electricity goes right through Sheena.
[23:13] Sheena: "From the air or the ground?"
[23:13] * Reis tries to track the attack to its source.
[23:13] Sheena: ()
[23:13] Reis: (Do I see where?)
[23:13] * Mani looks also.
[23:13] Alathon: You all see the lightning bolt, since you all'd be lookgin up.
[23:14] Alathon: You have a general idea where it originated from.
[23:14] Mani: "Try not to blow me up..."
[23:14] Alathon: init
[23:14] Sheena: Roll 1d20+5
[23:14] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{12}

[23:14] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{34}
[23:14] Mani: roll 1d20+9
[23:14] Sheena: (aww i didnt get to say hello back?)

[23:14] Kuonji: roll 1d20+14
[23:14] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{18}
[23:14] Kuonji: (-_-)
[23:15] Kuonji: (an increase of one... ONE)
[23:15] Alathon: roll 1d20+10 martha
[23:15] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+10 martha --> [ 1d20=13 ]{23}
[23:15] Alathon: roll 1d20+6 ??? #1
[23:15] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+6 ??? #1 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{8}
[23:15] Alathon: roll 1d20+13 ??? #2
[23:15] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+13 ??? #2 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{26}
[23:15] Kuonji: "There's something invisible behind us with some sort of weapon."
[23:16] * Sheena coughs out a puff of smoke
[23:16] Sheena: "Found em!"
[23:16] Mani: "Where, and is it targeting us?"
[23:18] Kuonji: "It's a couple hundred feet behind us, I can't make it out too well from here."
[23:18] Alathon: Fight order: Mani, Reis, ??? #2, Martha, Kuonji, Sheena, ??? #1
[23:19] Alathon: Mani's up.
[23:19] Mani: "Keep an eye on it. It may not be an enemy, though."
[23:19] * Mani heads in the direction the lightning bolt came from, staying out of the line of the fire of her teammates.
[23:20] Alathon: Alright.
[23:20] Alathon: Anything else?
[23:20] Mani: (Everything's already on... So, unless I reach it this round, no.)
[23:20] Alathon: *nod*
[23:20] Alathon: Reis, you're up
[23:21] Sheena: "That was lighting so it my be friendly"
[23:21] * Reis goes that way as well at full speed, idly splitting out three other Reises.
[23:21] Reis: (Unless I make it now, that'll be it)
[23:21] Alathon: are you going on the ground, or in the air?
[23:21] Reis: (Whichever's quicker)
[23:22] Alathon: well, it was from the air, so going up diagonally would be fastest..a nd also most obvious
[23:23] Alathon: ((... ?
[23:23] Reis: (Air)
[23:23] Alathon: ((okay))
[23:23] * Mani is going on the ground, at speed, for now.
[23:23] Alathon: *nod*
[23:23] Alathon: roll 2#1d20+29-2
[23:23] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d20+29-2 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{43}, [ 1d20=7 ]{34}
[23:23] Alathon: roll 1d20+24-2
[23:23] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+24-2 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{24}
[23:23] Alathon: roll 1d20+19-2
[23:23] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+19-2 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{34}
[23:24] Reis: (Also, should I roll anything for my projections?)
[23:24] Sheena: (oh from the air?)
[23:24] Alathon: hmm
[23:24] Alathon: roll 1d4
[23:24] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d4 --> [ 1d4=2 ]{2}
[23:24] Sheena: (+29? *erk*)
[23:24] Reis: (Ie, 'This is how well-made they are, now you have to beat that with a Wis check to really see whether it's me')
[23:24] Alathon: Dodge one attack, Reis
[23:24] Reis: roll 1d20+24
[23:25] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+24 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{29}
[23:25] Alathon: roll 3d8+6
[23:25] Kuonji: (O_O)
[23:25] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3d8+6 --> [ 3d8=13 ]{19}
[23:25] Kuonji: (wtf, how many skill points did you put in that?)
[23:25] Alathon: The first two bolts of energy scream through one of your clones
[23:25] Reis: (Lots. And a whole shitload of Dex)
[23:25] Kuonji: (god damn it)
[23:25] Alathon: So does the third.
[23:25] Alathon: The fourth one actually hits you.
[23:26] Alathon: and yeah, the CT armor counts vs that
[23:26] * Reis winces in pain, and tries to reshuffle the Reises.
[23:26] Kuonji: "Yeah, there's no way that figure is a friendly."
[23:26] Alathon: Martha is up..
[23:26] Alathon: Martha looks around
[23:26] Alathon: "Where the hell?"
[23:26] Alathon: She looks up and down... and decides to hold her action.
[23:27] Alathon: Kuonji is up
[23:28] Kuonji: (well, I'm gonna sneak my ass toward that motherfucker... or tp and sneak, whichever would ultimatly be faster)
[23:28] Alathon: tp is your move action
[23:28] Sheena: (drrrr im looking at the wrong sheet)
[23:29] Reis: (Wait, do we know exactly where the bastard is?)
[23:29] Kuonji: (so... it'd get me further just to move then?)
[23:29] Kuonji: (I do)
[23:29] Reis: (I thought we just had a general direction)
[23:29] Alathon: ((you've still got teleport +1 right? not +2?))
[23:29] Mani: (Are you talking about the invisible thing?)
[23:29] Alathon: ((so, you can teleport 30 feet.. or more a lot more than that at Speed +1))
[23:30] Kuonji: (so yeah, speed it is)
[23:30] Kuonji: (hide and move silently checks?)
[23:30] Kuonji: (dunno if the guy can see invisibility after all...)
[23:30] Mani: (Wouldn't think you'd need move silenltly unless you're right next to someone on a battlefield.)
[23:30] Alathon: you sure as heck do Not need move silently
[23:31] Kuonji: (point)
[23:31] Alathon: you can make a hide check if you want
[23:31] Kuonji: roll 1d20+16 hide
[23:31] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+16 hide --> [ 1d20=4 ]{20}
[23:31] Alathon: *nod*
[23:31] Alathon: You think you do a.. okay.. job of hiding youself as you move toward your target at all speed.
[23:31] Alathon: Sheena, you're up.
[23:31] Kuonji: (oh god, I hope my combat roles get about single digits >_<)
[23:31] * Sheena looks over to find her target down range, do i see there magic?
[23:31] Mani: (Oh, I'm sure they'll get about single digits. :) )
[23:32] Alathon: You definately see magic
[23:32] Alathon: You can attack it, at a -4
[23:33] Alathon: It's quite bright, but still.. it's brightness against a cloudy sky with sun behind it
[23:33] Kuonji: (ABOVE)
[23:33] Kuonji: (god damn it T_T)
[23:33] Alathon: ((haha))
[23:34] Sheena: "Dark Heart, Shoot mode"
[23:34] * Sheena lets Dark heart reconfiger as she flys at her target at top speed
[23:34] Alathon: Dark heart will dutifully transform to a longer, more elegant version of itself.
[23:34] Alathon: done?
[23:34] Sheena: (thats both moves)
[23:34] Sheena: (done)
[23:36] Alathon: end of the round, top of the order
[23:36] Alathon: Mani is up
[23:37] Mani: (Have I found a target yet?)
[23:38] Alathon: which target?
[23:38] Alathon: the aerial one, or the ground one?
[23:38] Mani: (Well, only the aerial one had fired when I started, so I'd be heading that way. If I see another that looks like an enemy on the way, though, let me know.)
[23:39] Alathon: roll 1d4+1
[23:39] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d4+1 --> [ 1d4=2 ]{3}
[23:39] Alathon: You've have seen bursts of energy shoot up toward reis.
[23:39] Alathon: you can change your direction towards those if you want
[23:39] Alathon: there's still no obvious, visible enemy
[23:39] Mani: (Which seems to be closer to me?)
[23:40] Sheena: (ok guess im done, )
[23:40] Mani: (If I can tell.)
[23:42] Alathon: hm
[23:42] Alathon: nearer is the one on the ground
[23:42] Alathon: the one in the air is, well, up in the air some
[23:42] Alathon: or was around 12 seconds ago
[23:42] Mani: (And it hasn't fired since then?)
[23:43] *** Rockman_Zero has joined #crystaltokyo.
[23:43] Reis: (Morning, Rocko :P )
[23:43] Alathon: Not as far as you can tell
[23:43] * Mani heads for the ground one.
[23:43] *** Rockman_Zero is now known as Ken_Yamada.
[23:43] Ken_Yamada: (Argh! Finally, the power came back on. ><;)
[23:43] Reis: (Don't worry, you got knocked out dismounting the humvee ;) )
[23:43] Alathon: sorry RZ, but Ken's unconscious; he took a bad spill getting out of the humvee
[23:44] Ken_Yamada: (Ow.)
[23:44] Alathon: you'll get near where you think they were fired from
[23:44] Mani: (Do I see anyone?)
[23:44] Alathon: hmm..
[23:44] Alathon: Gimme a spot check
[23:44] Mani: roll 1d20+3
[23:44] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{6}
[23:45] * Sheena just stops in mid air and seems really pissed off.
[23:45] Alathon: You don't see anything of note.
[23:47] * Mani looks for more shots.
[23:47] Mani: (That's it.)
[23:47] Alathon: you're delaying action?
[23:47] Mani: (Yes.)
[23:47] Alathon: okay
[23:47] Alathon: Reis, you're up
[23:47] Reis: (Do I have a good idea of exactly where the guy in the air is?)
[23:48] Alathon: You know where the lightning bolt came from around 12 seconds ago
[23:48] Alathon: So you can make an educated guess
[23:48] Reis: (How far is it? Far enough to make it in one round of flying, or no?)
[23:48] Alathon: It's pretty near Sheena, but not right up against her
[23:48] Alathon: ((flight 1 or 2?))
[23:48] Reis: (2)
[23:48] Alathon: ((oh wait, you have 2))
[23:49] Alathon: ((You can get to about hwere it came from this round easy))
[23:49] Sheena: ( i woulndt have even freaking moves had i any clue there where that close)
[23:49] * Reis continues towards the guy who shot at Sheena, looking for where they are.
[23:50] Alathon: ((dude.. you were up there BEFORE she attacked))
[23:50] Alathon: you flew up, made a target of yourself, and got smacked
[23:50] Sheena: (thinking they are over a mile off damn it, i didnt attack becaus i figered shoot was sueless)
[23:50] Alathon: You can't see anything other than air and a pissed off Sheena
[23:50] Sheena: (IE shooting moode, and flying to get closer, not kiss her)
[23:51] * Reis looks around for the opponent.
[23:51] Alathon: My interpretation was that you were going for the +attack so you could hit a target you couldn't see perfectly.. but I see your point
[23:51] Alathon: Though I'll point out that you didn't know Exactly where the bolt originated from, just a good idea of the direction
[23:51] Alathon: You don't see anything
[23:52] Reis: (Dammit)
[23:52] Alathon: act? delay?
[23:52] Sheena: "You think thats funny? xxx xxxxx!! Ill ash you all!"
[23:52] * Reis puts all of her selves into line with Sheena.
[23:52] Sheena: (DAMN IT!)
[23:52] Reis: (Otherwise, delay)
[23:53] Alathon: okay.. mani and reis delayed
[23:53] Alathon: roll 2#1d20+29-2
[23:53] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d20+29-2 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{45}, [ 1d20=13 ]{40}
[23:53] Alathon: roll 1d20+24-2
[23:53] Sheena: (is reis near me or just her copies?)
[23:53] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+24-2 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{35}
[23:53] Alathon: roll 1d20+19-2
[23:53] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+19-2 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{22}
[23:53] Reis: (All of us)
[23:53] Sheena: (oy.. great.)
[23:53] Reis: (Hm?)
[23:54] Kuonji: (well I'm fucked)
[23:54] Alathon: ((I suspect DCG smells a fireball))
[23:54] Alathon: dodge, eat it?
[23:54] Kuonji: (how many shots do I have to dodge?)
[23:54] Alathon: four
[23:54] Mani: (Who's being attacked?)
[23:54] Kuonji: (oh jesus christ)
[23:54] Alathon: Kuonji
[23:54] Alathon: sorry, told him in PM since he can actually see this one ;p
[23:54] Mani: (Could eat the hard ones and try to dodge the easy.)
[23:55] Alathon: Four bolts of energy shoot out towards Kuonji
[23:55] Kuonji: roll 1d20+8
[23:55] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{13}
[23:55] Alathon: Mani, you see them coming from pretty darned close
[23:55] Kuonji: roll 1d20+6
[23:55] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{23}
[23:55] Kuonji: roll 1d20+4
[23:55] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{18}
[23:55] Kuonji: roll 1d20+2
[23:55] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{5}
[23:55] Mani: (What's shooting them?)
[23:55] Sheena: (ya, thats kinda poinless to even try and dodge that, more WTF)
[23:55] Mani: (And can I interpose myself?)
[23:55] Alathon: As far as you can see, nothing; they're coming outta thin air
[23:55] Alathon: and, no
[23:56] Alathon: roll 4#3d8+6
[23:56] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 4#3d8+6 --> [ 3d8=11 ]{17}, [ 3d8=15 ]{21}, [ 3d8=10 ]{16}, [ 3d8=13 ]{19}
[23:56] Kuonji: (So, am I dead yet?)
[23:56] Alathon: ... uh.. no?
[23:56] Alathon: you have 8 points of armor
[23:56] Alathon: that's 9+13+8+11
[23:56] Alathon: which is a lot less hp than you have
[23:56] Ken_Yamada: (So you only WISH you were dead instead. :P)
[23:56] Alathon: 41 points of damage
[23:57] Reis: (Do the rest of us see the energy attack with any precision?)
[23:57] Alathon: reis and sheena? no
[23:57] Kuonji: (I bet this guy has like +9000000 melee dodge too)
[23:58] Mani: (Enh. I'll still hit him. I managed to grab a dicebot once.)
[23:58] Alathon: ((he has good melee dodge, and sees invis, but not ultra uber. spiking your attack skill kinda limits how high your defenses can be))
[23:58] Mani: (Can I take a swing at it now?)
[23:58] Alathon: anyways
[23:58] Alathon: yes
[23:58] Alathon: Mani delayed.. you can get one swing per sword
[23:58] Mani: (Mm, what penalty?)
[23:58] Alathon: hm
[23:59] Alathon: any accuracy or blind fighting?
[23:59] Alathon: nope
[23:59] Alathon: hm
[23:59] Alathon: -6..
[23:59] Alathon: two less thant he usual -8, since you can smell 'em
[23:59] Mani: roll 2#1d20+29-6
[23:59] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#1d20+29-6 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{29}, [ 1d20=9 ]{32}
[00:00] Alathon: roll 1d20+19
[00:00] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{31}
[00:00] Alathon: roll 1d20+17
[00:00] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{19}
[00:00] Alathon: Your second swing hits
[00:00] Mani: roll 1d8+6 1AP
[00:00] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d8+6 1AP --> [ 1d8=7 ]{13}
[00:00] Alathon: penetrates
[00:00] Mani: roll 3d8
[00:00] Alathon: easily.. it feels like cutting through butter
[00:00] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=21 ]{21}
[00:00] Alathon: YOu can see the blood spray.
[00:01] Alathon: hmm.. reis is delaying, but presumably focusingo n sheena
[00:01] Mani: (I suppose that won't lower the penalty for subsequent attacks. ;) )
[00:01] Alathon: actually, I should think about that.. does blood count as a foreign liquid once it's left your body and is sticking to your lcothes... probably not
[00:01] Alathon: not like pouring oil or tar over an invisible target
[00:01] Alathon: anyways
[00:02] Alathon: Martha is up.
[00:02] Reis: (That and a snipe shot from a frigging mile away right next to an invisible _ally_... Doesn't seem too wise)
[00:02] Alathon: Martha: "Dammit!"
[00:02] Alathon: She's looking right at where Mani attacked.. but is holding back.
[00:02] Mani: (I'd think not. Might mark up the ground around it a bit, though.)
[00:02] Alathon: Martha then looks up to sheena, and delays.
[00:02] Alathon: Agreed, you'd see where the blood lands, and so would anyone else
[00:02] Alathon: Kuonji, you're up
[00:03] Alathon: You're close enough you can make al eap attack fi you want
[00:03] Alathon: otherwise its run up and one attack
[00:03] Alathon: it's obvious at this point that either this thing can see through your invisibility, or can sense you some other way
[00:04] Kuonji: leap attack
[00:04] Alathon: rollit up
[00:04] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled up --> error: malformed expression
[00:04] Kuonji: (kinda depressed there'll be no sneak ;_;)
[00:04] Mani: (Your dicebot accepts rollit as a command?)
[00:04] Alathon: rollyoupieceofshit
[00:04] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled --> error: malformed expression
[00:05] Kuonji: (it's been so long since I've gotten to use it)
[00:05] Alathon: apparently it does a str_prefix
[00:05] Mani: (That's what I thought.)
[00:05] Kuonji: (do I need to roll a jump check first?)
[00:05] Alathon: no
[00:05] Kuonji: (or just straight attack roll?)
[00:05] Kuonji: (ok)
[00:05] Alathon: this is a pretty standard up and down thing
[00:05] * Kuonji jump attacks the enemy
[00:05] Kuonji: roll 1d20+18
[00:05] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{19}
[00:05] Kuonji: DR
[00:05] Mani: (DR?)
[00:05] Reis: (...)
[00:05] Alathon: good call ;p
[00:05] Kuonji: roll 1d20+18
[00:05] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{19}
[00:05] Alathon: AHAHAHHAHA
[00:05] Kuonji: DR
[00:05] Mani: (Wow...)
[00:06] Kuonji: (thank god I got that second rank)
[00:06] Alathon: glad you bought that extra one?
[00:06] Kuonji: roll 1d20+18
[00:06] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{35}
[00:06] Alathon: roll 1d20+15
[00:06] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{16}
[00:06] Sheena: (yay!)
[00:06] Alathon: snerk
[00:06] Kuonji: (lol)
[00:06] Sheena: (LOL)
[00:06] Alathon: now that's some irony
[00:06] Mani: (Another 1 would have been hillarious.)
[00:06] Reis: (Hah!)
[00:06] Ken_Yamada: (Kuonji: Told ya it'd come in handy. ;P)
[00:06] Alathon: roll your damage, you hit
[00:06] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled your damage, you hit --> error: malformed expression
[00:06] Sheena: (well im not pissed any more.. im lauhgting to hard at the dice)
[00:06] Kuonji: roll 5d8+47
[00:06] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 5d8+47 --> [ 5d8=18 ]{65}
[00:07] Alathon: if anyone could see him, they'd see Kuonji aaaalmost spraining his angle twice while sprinting to jump, but just barely holding himself online.
[00:07] Sheena: (witch is every one but me!)
[00:07] Alathon: Everyone can see the explosion of blood from where his shadowsabre cleaves through the invisible attacker, howerever
[00:07] Alathon: yup, everyone but sheena
[00:07] Kuonji: (lol)
[00:08] Alathon: Sheena, you're up.
[00:08] Kuonji: "Take that, motherfucker."
[00:08] Mani: (Just to be clear, are Kuonji and I fighting different invisible opponents or the same one?)
[00:08] * Kuonji repeats it in abyssal, just in case.
[00:10] * Sheena barks out
[00:10] Sheena: "Dark Heart.. Proximity detonation, Full yield. "
[00:10] * Sheena while pulling a red shell out of her top
[00:11] Kuonji: "Hope you weren't too attached to your scapula."
[00:11] Kuonji: (oh, btw, can I write elbereth on the ground and take a breather? >_>)
[00:12] Sheena: Dark Heart: Error. A friendly life form is in the area of effect
[00:12] Alathon: ((uh, no, this isn't tolkien ;p ))
[00:12] Mani: (You try, but it comes out E?bere?h)
[00:12] Sheena: (hah!)
[00:12] Kuonji: (j/k, but uh, so did my regen kick in for my turn?)
[00:12] Ken_Yamada: (Never read tolkein)
[00:12] Kuonji: (heh)
[00:12] Alathon: regen takes place at the end of reach round
[00:12] Sheena: "WHat? Who?"
[00:12] Kuonji: (ever play net hack?)
[00:12] * Sheena summons her armor insted
[00:12] Kuonji: (ok)
[00:12] Sheena: (done)
[00:12] Sheena: (whats elbereth?)
[00:13] Mani: (So, about Kuonji & Mani's target(s)?)
[00:13] * Reis frowns. "Senpai, am I in the way?"
[00:13] Sheena: "Reis? Shit"
[00:13] * Sheena blinks around
[00:13] Mani: (It would be rather ironic if Sheena caught Reis in an area effect.)
[00:13] Sheena: "Damn it, I can't see shit. And you should know better to then run up to some one when they are trying to blow themselfs up"
[00:14] Sheena: (can't any more)
[00:14] Alathon: everyonew ho's looking up at this point.. which is Reis and Martha.. seens a red/white seed of energy streak down towards Reis and Sheena
[00:14] * Reis blinks. "... Blow yourself up?!"
[00:14] Reis: "Senpai!"
[00:14] Reis: "Above!"
[00:14] Alathon: roll 14d6
[00:14] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 14d6 --> [ 14d6=41 ]{41}
[00:14] Alathon: reis, save for half
[00:14] Reis: roll 1d20+23
[00:14] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{39}
[00:15] Reis: (Do I have a solid idea of where it came from?)
[00:15] Alathon: Reis easily moves with the blast.. Sheena isn't in a position to respond and takes full damage
[00:15] Alathon: 20 to reis, 41 to sheena
[00:15] Alathon: and
[00:15] Alathon: yes
[00:15] Sheena: "Xxxx xxx xx XXX!!"
[00:15] Alathon: you delayed before martha, so you get first crack ikf you want
[00:15] Alathon: -8 to hit
[00:16] Reis: (Will Accuracy cover that?)
[00:16] Alathon: No
[00:16] Alathon: accuracy doesn't apply to hitting targets you can't see, but rather, targets with cover.. or trick shots.. or called shots on targets
[00:16] Reis: (Figured)
[00:16] * Reis snarls and swings Swordbreaker forward. "Swordbreaker, shred it!" 'Quellefrost.'
[00:17] Reis: roll 1d20+26
[00:17] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{36}
[00:17] Reis: roll 1d20+21
[00:17] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{24}
[00:17] Reis: (And, two bigass AoEs)
[00:17] Alathon: ((quellefrost doesn't have flurry))
[00:17] Mani: (Is this battle almost over?)
[00:18] Alathon: ((it's getting there))
[00:18] Reis: (Yeah it does)
[00:18] Sheena: (how much longer am i blind?)
[00:18] Alathon: Special Attack Rank 8 - 8 MP. Focus Option, requires Swordbreaker. 8 EP to cast at full strength. 'Quellefrost'. This spell fires a wider and vaguely unfocused-looking stream of power. As soon as it hits something, its light containment bursts, unleashing a massive scattering of... even she's not really sure _what_ those little flashes of light are, but they cause extreme pain to the touch, and take about five seconds to fall to the ground after the burst.

[00:20] Reis: (But by the rules, that's technically only 4 miles)
[00:20] Alathon: two of the lightning bolts don't seem to hit anything.. one of them seems to abruptly lose poewr midair
[00:20] Reis: (Dunno exactly how far I can see, actually, that's GM ruling :P )
[00:20] Alathon: end of round, top of the order
[00:20] Alathon: Mani
[00:21] Alathon: You're right in front of the target you and kuonji cut up last round
[00:21] Alathon: and there's a lot of blood on the ground
[00:21] Kuonji: (so I get 1hp, right?)
[00:21] Alathon: yes
[00:21] Mani: "Sakura, let me know where you are!"

[00:23] Alathon: There's another nasty Pulp Fiction style spray of blood.
[00:24] Alathon: Reis is up
[00:24] Mani: (If I make a special roll, can I spell my name out with it? ;) )
[00:24] Alathon: ... no, but I'll consider that at epic levels ;p
[00:24] Kuonji: "Looks like you got him."
[00:24] Alathon: reis, roll your persistant damage

[00:25] Kuonji: (though if he's dead, wouldn't invis drop?)
[00:26] Mani: (Well, if there was the sound of it crumpling to the ground and a pool of blood forming... even if it stayed invis.)

[00:26] Mani: "It's dead?"
[00:26] Alathon: Your attacks hit where you aim.. and you can't quite tell if they're doing what you want, but they're sure smashing your target area.
[00:26] Alathon: Martha is up.
[00:26] Kuonji: "Looks it, I see seperated in lumps on the ground..."
[00:27] * Mani nods.
[00:27] Kuonji: "I suppose I could try for a decap, just to make sure."
[00:27] Alathon: She delays her action, as her target area is h eavily obscured by brilliant energy attacks, andd doesn't wanna fuck up and hit a teammate.
[00:27] Alathon: Kuonji, you're up
[00:27] Mani: "Good. Life force?"
[00:27] Mani: ("All over the place.")
[00:27] Alathon: ((heh))
[00:27] Kuonji: "Hmm... Looks like he's only mostly dead."
[00:27] * Kuonji fixes that.
[00:28] Mani: "If you could perform the coup de grâce."
[00:28] * Kuonji looks for a skull, then cuts where the spinal column indicates a neck.
[00:28] Reis: (Ya know... We've really got to work on this 'capture' concept)
[00:28] Kuonji: "Already on it."
[00:28] Alathon: You succeed.
[00:28] Kuonji: (we can't risk it, they can Dhop)
[00:28] Alathon: Sheena's up.
[00:28] Mani: (Ok. You capture the one you're fighting, then.)
[00:29] Kuonji: (and we have to place to interrogate)
[00:29] Reis: (Which is true, but still... :P )
[00:29] Kuonji: (no)
[00:29] Mani: "How are you holding up?"
[00:29] Kuonji: "I've been better, but I'm not in danger of keeling over yet."
[00:29] Kuonji: "You?"
[00:30] Sheena: (no check or anythign to break the spell?)
[00:30] * Sheena just waits looking pissed as ries is near by"
[00:30] Sheena: (no action)
[00:30] Alathon: Okay
[00:30] Reis: (I'm not in front of you, though)
[00:31] Sheena: (im totaly blind)
[00:31] Sheena: ( as in "Can't see shit captin" blind)
[00:31] Reis: (Ahhhhhh. That, I did not know. Which explains why you didn't know I was there :P )
[00:32] Mani: "Haven't been touched."
[00:32] Alathon: A bolt of lightning arcs out of the mess of energy that Reis hsa energated, arcing from Reis to Sheena
[00:32] Alathon: roll 14d6
[00:32] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 14d6 --> [ 14d6=61 ]{61}

[00:33] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{25}
[00:33] Alathon: heh
[00:33] Reis: (Does armour apply?)
[00:33] Sheena: (eat 30, then armor? or just the main 20?)
[00:33] Alathon: hooray for stacked reflex saves
[00:33] Alathon: CT armor does not
[00:33] Alathon: normal armor does
[00:33] Reis: (Dammit)
[00:33] Alathon: Martha, frustrated as hell, fires into the mess anyways
[00:33] Alathon: roll 1d20+29-16

[00:34] Alathon: roll 1d20+20 dodge
[00:34] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+20 dodge --> [ 1d20=17 ]{37}
[00:34] Mani: "Shit... I'd like to help, but no way I'm flying into that."
[00:34] Alathon: roll 1d20+18 dodge
[00:34] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+18 dodge --> [ 1d20=16 ]{34}
[00:34] Alathon: roll 1d20+16 dodge
[00:34] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+16 dodge --> [ 1d20=20 ]{36}
[00:34] Alathon: all three scream through the mess, doing nothing.
[00:34] Alathon: end of round, start of the next
[00:34] Alathon: Mani is up
[00:35] Sheena: (we really need to talk about this dnd vr besm stuff..)
[00:35] * Reis winces in pain and calls to Sheena: "How much distance do you need senpai?"
[00:35] Mani: (Can I see how Sheena's doing?)
[00:35] Alathon: ((you have any D&D caster beat hands down DPS and tank wise))
[00:35] Alathon: you can see her.. at a distance.. how's she carrying herself?
[00:35] Kuonji: (not ANY)
[00:35] Reis: (See how I'm doing. I'm real hurt :P )
[00:35] Sheena: "Reis.. Aim for me"
[00:35] Kuonji: (some of those epic spells are nasty...)
[00:36] Sheena: "Just point me in there direction"
[00:36] Kuonji: (and what if one casts protection against evil, then gate?)
[00:36] Sheena: "And make sure the line of fire is clear.."
[00:36] Mani: (You've really got to watch your wording, Sheena...)
[00:36] Alathon: ((generally speaking, epic spells aren't gonna play a role in this game for aLONG time.. if ever.))
[00:36] Kuonji: (can we take a Balor?)
[00:36] * Reis nods and starts narrating the enemy's rough location and directing Sheena.
[00:36] Mani: ("Aim for me." "Ok." *ZAP* "I didn't mean *at* me!!!")
[00:36] Alathon: ((I don't know, depends how smart it is, and how good your saving rolls are))
[00:36] Alathon: ((it'd be an ugly fight))
[00:36] Alathon: ((and how you go about it, for that matter))
[00:36] Mani: "I'd better see if they need healing."
[00:37] Sheena: (no.. i mean a gimp spell like blind, Takening out enchanced sight Witch cost me CP)
[00:37] Alathon: ((start off with mani and kuonji in range, and you could probably kill itb efore it got an action))
[00:37] Sheena: (thats what im talking about)
[00:37] * Mani flies toward them.
[00:37] Alathon: Dude.. power word blind is not a gimp spell
[00:37] Mani: "Coming to assist!"
[00:37] Alathon: reis, roll your persistant damage.
[00:37] Mani: (Can I reach them this round?)
[00:37] Alathon: hmm..
[00:37] Alathon: no
[00:37] Reis: roll 6d8
[00:37] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 6d8 --> [ 6d8=27 ]{27}
[00:37] Alathon: even though you're going up the hypotenuse
[00:38] Alathon: or whatever the long side of the triangle is called, that's shorter than the sum ofthe other two sides ;p
[00:38] Sheena: (does it take a turn for ries to aim for me?)
[00:38] Alathon: Reis's action is up
[00:38] Reis: (Does it take a full action to provide the info for Sheens?)
[00:39] Alathon: if you're aiming her arm, yes
[00:39] Reis: (What about directions?)
[00:39] * Sheena holds her staff out a bit so it can be adjusted by reis
[00:39] Alathon: directions would be utterly worthless without like.. 30 seconds to direct her ;p
[00:39] Reis: (... Actually, to get any precision, that'd be even slower...)
[00:40] Sheena: (genral dircet here)
[00:40] Sheena: (you can be vage)
[00:40] Alathon: spreading attack?
[00:40] Alathon: yeah, that'll work
[00:40] Sheena: (oh ya)
[00:40] Reis: (Okay, so vagueness will work?)
[00:40] Sheena: ( i did get DH into shooting mode)
[00:41] Sheena: (its ok reis, you can touch sheena's staff)
[00:41] Alathon: just ACT
[00:41] Alathon: decide for yourself ;p
[00:41] Alathon: which you think will work
[00:41] Mani: (I'm going to need to go to bed in a few minutes.)
[00:41] Alathon: *nod* we'll be finishing up shortly
[00:41] Alathon: one way or another ;p
[00:42] * Reis blurs over to Sheena's position and lays a hand on Dark Heart, pointing it towards the enemy while her split selves take a bit of distance to force the guy to shoot at just one if any.
[00:42] Alathon: Martha delays her action.
[00:42] Alathon: Kuonji, you're up.
[00:44] Sheena: (sakura's down from blood loss?)
[00:44] Alathon: Sakura delays.
[00:44] Alathon: Sheena, you're up.
[00:44] Reis: "Okay, senpai... Ready... And, shoot!"
[00:45] Kuonji: (oh shit, sorry
[00:45] Kuonji: )
[00:45] Kuonji: (bleh)
[00:45] Alathon: ((eh, its' pretty much all you can doa t this juncture.. sheena, blow this bastard away so we can finish up ;p ))
[00:46] Kuonji: (it's late, I got work at 10, I'm kinda zonin out)
[00:46] Sheena: (can do!)
[00:46] Sheena: (you gota move ? or do i ash em?)
[00:46] Mani: (So do.)
[00:46] Alathon: Your turn is up
[00:46] Alathon: act
[00:46] Reis: (Hm... Yeah, who rolls the aim?)
[00:46] Alathon: do whatever you're going to do
[00:46] Alathon: Sheena does, at -8
[00:46] Sheena: (typeing it!)
[00:46] Reis: (I mean, it's Sheena's 'blow them away', but my aiming)
[00:47] Alathon: hm
[00:47] Alathon: actually, I guess Reis would in this situation
[00:47] Sheena: "Dark Hear load one,then Obsidian"
[00:47] Reis: (Still -8?)
[00:47] Alathon: yeah
[00:47] Alathon: since you can't actually see your target
[00:47] Reis: roll 1d20+26-8
[00:47] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+26-8 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{27}
[00:47] Reis: (...)
[00:47] Alathon: and the flurry
[00:47] Sheena: (about my roll, i got 28 heh)
[00:47] Mani: (DR?)
[00:47] Reis: (DR.)
[00:48] Alathon: and yeah, you can DR that too ;p
[00:48] Reis: (I wants this dramatic moment)
[00:48] Alathon: what's wrong with a 9 anyways?
[00:48] Reis: roll 1d20+26-8
[00:48] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+26-8 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{31}
[00:48] * Sheena listens as a shell slams out for each shot
[00:48] Reis: (Ah, there's a flurry too?)
[00:48] Sheena: (1 spreading added to each)
[00:48] Reis: roll 1d20+21-8
[00:48] Sheena: (yes, AGAIN)
[00:48] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+21-8 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{15}
[00:48] Sheena: (gah)
[00:48] Reis: (Owie)
[00:48] Alathon: roll 1d20+14
[00:48] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{21}
[00:49] Alathon: roll 1d20+12
[00:49] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{19}
[00:49] Alathon: both hit
[00:49] Alathon: roll two damages
[00:49] Sheena: (thoes shoots have two ranks of spreading on them)
[00:49] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled two damages --> error: malformed expression
[00:49] Alathon: er, three ranks of spreading?
[00:49] Mani: (I guess Sheena rolls damage.)
[00:49] Alathon: oh wait.. only two? then only the 1st one hits
[00:49] Alathon: and yeah, sheena roll damage
[00:50] Sheena: Roll 8d8+4
[00:50] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 8d8+4 --> [ 8d8=28 ]{32}
[00:50] Alathon: With Reis aiming, Sheena launches one expanding column of purple-black energy, which surges a moment later into an even larger column of destruction
[00:50] Sheena: (how did he dodge a shoot 60 feet wide?)
[00:50] Alathon: I dunno, how do you save for half vs a fireball in midair?
[00:50] Alathon: it's just one of those mysteries ;p
[00:50] Mani: (Bad aim.)
[00:50] Sheena: (heh)
[00:51] Alathon: anyways
[00:51] Alathon: Reis is pretty sure you were on target.
[00:51] Alathon: THUD
[00:51] Alathon: roll 10d6
[00:51] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 10d6 --> [ 10d6=26 ]{26}
[00:51] Alathon: Martha: "Holy shit."
[00:51] Kuonji: (ouch, not even half damage)
[00:51] Mani: (Kuonji gets hit by a falling enemy for 26 pts of damage.)
[00:51] Alathon: Only a few feet from Martha, something hit the ground with a thud-splat sorta sound.
[00:51] Kuonji: (lol)
[00:51] Alathon: Martha coulda been, but figured that was highly unlikely
[00:52] * Reis grins and hugs Sheena from behind. "We did it, senpai!"
[00:52] Alathon: everyone else is either flying off to one side, or on the ground off to one side.
[00:52] Mani: (Ok. I'm going to bed.)
[00:52] Sheena: (knight!
[00:52] Alathon: gnight
[00:52] Sheena: (err night)
[00:52] Reis: (Night Yarr)
[00:52] Kuonji: (xp please)
[00:53] * Mani heals Reis & Sheena, though.
[00:53] Alathon: Martha feels around with her boot.. then promptly kicks whatever she was feeling for, repeatedly.
[00:53] * Reis will guide Sheena down to the ground, since she apparently can't see.
[00:54] * Kuonji runs over to martha, verbally warns her as he approaches, then will decap the thing if it's still alive, unless Martha wants it captured
[00:54] Alathon: it'll be a couple minutes before the blindness wears off, two and a half to be precise.. though we'll deal with that time span in the next game.
[00:54] Alathon: Martha: "Go ahead, fininsh it."
[00:54] Alathon: Martha: "I can't even see the thing to be sure of it."
[00:54] * Kuonji will decapitate it
[00:54] Alathon: You succeed.
[00:54] Alathon: and.. let's end here.
[00:54] * Sheena holds onto reis as they float down, "Thanks'
[00:55] Sheena: (k)
[00:55] *** Kuonji is now known as Ataru.
[00:55] Ataru: xp?
[00:55] *** Mani is now known as Yarrow.
[00:55] *** Sheena is now known as DCG.
[00:55] * Reis is rather elated here.
[00:55] Ataru: also, when will we resume next game?
[00:55] *** Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf.
[00:55] DCG: As a side note,
[00:55] DCG: FUCKING CLERICS
[00:55] Ataru: after enought time for me to heal? ;p
[00:55] Yarrow: Hnh. No one even attacked me.
[00:55] Alathon: right where we stopped
[00:55] Ataru: aww
[00:55] Alathon: and that was totally a mage that was pasting you ;p
[00:55] DCG: how does a mage how power word?
[00:55] Ataru: sorc or wiz?
[00:55] Ataru: uh...
[00:55] Ken_Yamada: Sorry about not having been there...
[00:56] Yarrow: Um, it's a mage spell, yes?
[00:56] Ataru: there are arcane words of power bro
[00:56] DCG: or am i just rusty
[00:56] DCG: ahh
[00:56] DCG: just rusty then
[00:56] Yarrow: That's blood.
[00:56] Ken_Yamada: Our house is a rental, and the owners decided that being over 50 years old, they needed to replace ALL of the electrical wiring. T_T
[00:56] Ataru: right
[00:56] Ataru: xp?
[00:56] Yarrow: Btw, +30 hp to Reis & Sheena.
[00:56] Alathon: and, that can suck
[00:57] Alathon: and yeah, add in the 30 hp on your sheets
[00:57] Alathon: but keep your hp the same
[00:57] Alathon: the battle's still going on around you
[00:57] Yarrow: Ep?
[00:57] DCG: Sheena's going rather well then
[00:57] Alathon: okay, one sec
[00:57] DCG: she's well above half
[00:57] Yarrow: No, I meant did you mean for them to keep their ep the same?
[00:57] Ken_Yamada: We didn't get power again until maybe five minutes before I logged back in.
[00:58] Alathon: 3024 exp

[Alathon]

Session 42

[18:07] Alathon: anyways
[18:07] Kuonji: shit, my mom still owes me 50
[18:07] Kuonji: she was supposed to pay me last friday
[18:07] Alathon: we left off last week with the party in the midst of a battle
[18:07] *** Yarrow is now known as Mani.
[18:07] Ken_Yamada: (And Ken having a nap.)
[18:07] Alathon: having finished their own relatively minor altercation somewhat west of the frey propper.
[18:07] Kuonji: huzza
[18:08] Alathon: Kuonji, Sheena, and Reis were all injured substantially.. with the latter two being healed somewhat as well.
[18:08] Alathon: as a note, let's get those hp totals
[18:09] Kuonji: 107 hp
[18:09] Reis: 63.
[18:09] Kuonji: (if we're outta combat though I should be getting 10hp a minute)
[18:09] Sheena: crap cleaned my desk top...
[18:10] Mani: Full.
[18:10] Alathon: Ken is full, though unconscious for the moment; he'll be waking up shortly
[18:10] * Reis continues directing Sheena back down to the ground.
[18:11] Sheena: 70 hp
[18:12] Alathon: Sheena is still blind at the moment..
[18:12] Kuonji: (woot, netflix sent wild zero)
[18:12] Sheena: (hmm thats to low,)
[18:12] Sheena: (eh.. i am?)
[18:12] Alathon: ((not really, you got fireballed, cone of colded, shot w/o jacket))
[18:12] Alathon: ((yes))
[18:12] * Sheena grumbles about littleshit mages and there blind spells.
[18:12] Alathon: ((it'll be a couple minutes until it wears off))
[18:13] Alathon: Around now, Ken wakes up. Ken, looking around, you can see that there's a whole mess of dust and smoke off to the east, and the party members are spread out
[18:13] Alathon: Mani is several hundred feet off on the ground, Sheena and Reis are up in the air, Reis apparently holding Sheena's hand.
[18:13] Mani: "How are you two doing?"
[18:13] Ken_Yamada: "...well shit."
[18:14] Alathon: Martha is on the ground near you, and Kuonji is nowhere to be seen
[18:14] Mani: (If I've just healed Sheena & Reis, I'd be by them.)
[18:14] * Ken_Yamada groans as he gets up and wal;ks over to martha to check up on her...
[18:14] Alathon: ahh, true
[18:14] Alathon: so everyone is at this point back near the hummer
[18:14] Sheena: "Bitchs blinded me at the start, i still can't see"
[18:14] Alathon: Martha looks fine
[18:14] * Reis winces. "Not that great, but I can still act."
[18:15] Alathon: those of you maintaining magical effects, remember to drop them, or burn the EP to keep em going
[18:15] * Ken_Yamada looks over to the party, and walks up to them, as he sends enigma out to search for Kuonji...
[18:15] Mani: (You added 30 to your hp from Mani's healing, yes?)
[18:15] Ken_Yamada: "It's obvious you're not okay, but do you have any serious injuries?"
[18:16] * Sheena lets the fuku drop but keeps dark heart out in shooting mode.
[18:16] * Reis shakes her head.
[18:16] Alathon: Martha is scanning the clouds, watching for any further signs of angelic interference
[18:16] Reis: (And yeah, that's when I _am_ healed)
[18:16] Sheena: "Im more pissed then hurt."
[18:16] Alathon: you all can still hear the gunshots off in the distance.
[18:17] Mani: "How about we wait until Sheena can see again and then drive closer to the action if it's still going on?"
[18:17] * Kuonji is scanning the battle field with his xray vision, in case there are anymore invisible opponents
[18:18] Alathon: the fired Texan truck is burning merrily
[18:18] Sheena: "Find there bodies?"
[18:18] * Ken_Yamada frowns for a moment and takes out his infantry plasma rifle...
[18:18] Ken_Yamada: "Driving doesn't seem to be an option."
[18:18] Alathon: Just as sheena says 'bodies', one appears not far from Martha.
[18:18] Mani: (Why not? Our vehicle is fine.)
[18:18] Sheena: (we have our own truck)
[18:19] Alathon: Martha: "I don't know that I'd want to get caught in a truck when it gets lit up, but there are two sides to the coin.."
[18:19] * Reis blinks. "... That works."
[18:19] Ken_Yamada: (Yeah, all of us snug inside of one, as a single target. :P)
[18:19] Alathon: She says this absently, still scanning the clouds.
[18:21] * Mani decapitates the grey's body if it still has a head.
[18:21] Kuonji: roll 1d20+11
[18:21] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{15}
[18:21] * Sheena blinks her eyes and looks around
[18:21] Kuonji: (I took care of it)
[18:21] * Reis glances at Sheena. "Are you all right now, senpai?"
[18:21] Kuonji: (also, why can't I ever get a roll in the god damn double digits?)
[18:21] Mani: (Ok. I wasn't sure about the one that fell.)
[18:21] Sheena: "Ya, i can see again."
[18:22] Ken_Yamada: "Ah, good."
[18:22] * Sheena stands up better and smiles at reis
[18:22] Sheena: "Thanks for the help"
[18:22] Sheena: "Now what about thoes other trucks that got past us? Only one stoped well fliped"
[18:22] * Ken_Yamada looks back, "Can't believe I fell and blacked out like that... I feel like *SUH* an ameteur."
[18:22] Alathon: The party sees something scurrying over towards them.. fortunately, it's just Yuuno.
[18:22] * Reis blushes and smiles back.
[18:22] Mani: (Oh, fine... Don't thank the person who healed you. :p )
[18:23] Ken_Yamada: "Hey Yuuno. 'Sup?"
[18:23] Alathon: Martha looks over at Ken.
[18:23] Ken_Yamada: ^Such
[18:23] Alathon: Martha: "Better a bump on the noggin than a broken neck."
[18:23] * Ken_Yamada nods, "Yeah, true enough."
[18:23] Alathon: everyone, spot check
[18:23] Alathon: Martha looks over to Sheena.
[18:24] Mani: roll 1d20+3
[18:24] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{4}
[18:24] Ken_Yamada: roll 1d20+17 (Ken)
[18:24] Ala-bot: Ken_Yamada rolled 1d20+17 (Ken) --> [ 1d20=15 ]{32}
[18:24] Mani: (Good. At least that's out of the way.)
[18:24] Sheena: Roll 1d20+5
[18:24] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{10}
[18:24] Alathon: Martha: "You're right.. we could try to catch them.. hm."
[18:24] Alathon: Martha glances upward.
[18:24] Reis: roll 1d20+6
[18:24] Alathon: Martha: "I'd ask you to fly up and take them out at range, but I'm not sure that'd be safe."
[18:25] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{20}
[18:25] Alathon: roll 1d20+8 matha's spot
[18:25] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+8 matha's spot --> [ 1d20=7 ]{15}
[18:25] * Sheena rubs her eyes a bit more
[18:25] Sheena: "damn punks"
[18:25] Mani: "Especially when they're already injured..."
[18:26] * Reis frowns and looks east.
[18:26] * Reis triggers a spell and keeps looking.
[18:26] Kuonji: roll 1d20+11
[18:26] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{17}
[18:27] Kuonji: (...)
[18:27] * Ken_Yamada points to the sky.
[18:27] Ken_Yamada: "Theres something glimering thataway!"
[18:27] Mani: ("Look! Up in the sky!")
[18:27] Alathon: Anyone who looks can, with some effort, pick it out.
[18:27] Ken_Yamada: "Over the battle."
[18:28] * Mani checks with her binoculars.
[18:28] Reis: "He's glowing..."
[18:28] * Sheena gives it a look to see magic
[18:28] * Sheena resummons her fuku in a flash spin.
[18:28] Sheena: "You got any one who can glo martha?
[18:28] Mani: "A glowing person."
[18:28] Sheena: "and fly?"
[18:28] Alathon: Around now, something happens that everyone can see.. a series of bright sparks seperate from the spot in the sky and streak downwards.
[18:28] Kuonji: brb
[18:29] * Mani tries to identify their targets.
[18:29] * Sheena fires to intercept them?
[18:29] * Reis idly splits out into four again.
[18:29] Reis: (I think he's giving us a 'cutscene' :P )
[18:29] Sheena: (ahh, shame)
[18:31] Alathon: anyways..
[18:31] * Reis stares. "Senpai! That's like you!"
[18:31] Alathon: as a side note, the body at your feet looks human, as far as you all can tell
[18:31] Ken_Yamada: "Huh?"
[18:31] Sheena: (fuck, im in no shape to fight off 'fate'"
[18:31] Sheena: ()
[18:32] Reis: (Don't worry. It's Vita)
[18:32] Sheena: (>_<)
[18:32] Alathon: ((... no, you're not gonna hafta fight the volkenritter, though I think one of them vs this party would probably be a reasonable match))
[18:32] * Reis idly forms a spinning pinwheel of light. "Our magic forms these patterns when we use it. There's a unique pattern under him."
[18:32] Alathon: Martha squints.. then curses profusely, before looking over to Reis.
[18:33] Reis: "Shoot?"
[18:33] Sheena: (can i shoot and interecp the shoots/)
[18:33] Alathon: After another series of sparks seperate from the figure and drop downwards.
[18:33] Sheena: (i ashed this a couple minago)
[18:33] Alathon: Martha: "If you have anything that can reach that far, Please!"
[18:33] * Sheena brings dakr heart around,
[18:33] * Reis nods and levels Swordbreaker. "Furieriss!"
[18:33] Sheena: "Full power!"
[18:33] Reis: roll 1d20+26
[18:33] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{41}

[18:34] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+24 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{32}
[18:34] Kuonji: (... T_T)
[18:34] Kuonji: (wolfie has all the luck)
[18:34] Alathon: Sheena and Reis can both see the figure clearly with their doubly enhanced vision.. and see that it doesn't dodge shit.
[18:34] Sheena: "Load spreeding!"
[18:34] Alathon: so roll your damage
[18:34] Sheena: Roll 1d20+15
[18:34] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{17}
[18:34] Sheena: oh dear.
[18:34] * Reis swings a pair of MASSIVELY long streams of magic into it with each swing as the sword is split into a breaker form.
[18:34] Mani: (Hey, his characters are the only ones who've gone below 0 hp in this campaign.)
[18:35] Reis: roll 7d8 AP 1
[18:35] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 7d8 AP 1 --> [ 7d8=26 ]{26}

[18:35] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 14d8 AP 1 --> [ 14d8=60 ]{60}
[18:35] Mani: (Like I said.)
[18:35] Alathon: ((Both his characters ;p ))
[18:35] * Ken_Yamada frowns and swaps out the prototype witn his Plasma rifle.
[18:35] Sheena: Roll 8d8+4 spread
[18:35] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 8d8+4 spread --> [ 8d8=32 ]{36}

[18:35] Kuonji: (14d8?....)
[18:35] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 8d8+4 spread --> [ 8d8=44 ]{48}
[18:35] Reis: (Can you even see him, Ken?)
[18:35] Kuonji: (I hate you T_T)
[18:35] Reis: (I critted)
[18:35] Ken_Yamada: (Can it hit that thing from this range?)
[18:36] Ken_Yamada: (Reis: I see a glimmer. That's enough.)
[18:36] Alathon: you can't tell, but you can take a shot
[18:36] Alathon: gimme a roll at -8
[18:36] Sheena: (Sheena and reis just have a magic orgy)
[18:36] Alathon: it looks like it's on the edge of plasma rifle range
[18:36] Ken_Yamada: (Alathon: -4 you mean. I have accuracy. :P)
[18:36] Alathon: ... okay, then roll it at -4
[18:36] Reis: (You can't see it to try trick shots :P )
[18:37] Reis: (That's closer to a blind-shot than a trick one)
[18:37] Sheena: (hope spreading is enought to hit the fireballs.. thats a lot of em)
[18:37] Ken_Yamada: roll 1d20+23-4 (Plasma Rifle)
[18:37] Ala-bot: Ken_Yamada rolled 1d20+23-4 (Plasma Rifle) --> [ 1d20=6 ]{25}
[18:37] Alathon: accuracy explicitly applies to shooting at long range
[18:37] Reis: (True enough)
[18:38] Kuonji: (hey, considering your twink factor, why are you giving him a hard time?)
[18:38] Alathon: After a few moments of humming, Ken's plasma rifle discharges, shooting a tight wad of superheated matter off into the sky.
[18:38] Mani: (Tightwad.)
[18:38] Ken_Yamada: roll 4d8+2 (AP 1)
[18:38] Ala-bot: Ken_Yamada rolled 4d8+2 (AP 1) --> [ 4d8=16 ]{18}
[18:38] Ken_Yamada: (Bah!)
[18:39] Kuonji: "Damn, no way I can hit that thing from here."
[18:39] Ken_Yamada: "Well, it looks like those attacks hit."
[18:39] Sheena: "Hah! Nailed him!"
[18:39] Reis: "Hit hard, it's flying east!"
[18:40] Reis: "Ken-san, sorry, it got out of range of your rifle."
[18:40] Sheena: "Did we stop the attack?"
[18:40] Ken_Yamada: "...well, crap."
[18:40] Alathon: Looking east, there are a handful of what look to be flashes of lightning.
[18:40] Sheena: "Martha! we need to head to the east, fast!"
[18:40] Reis: "I don't know if it's under control or not. It might have been thrown, or it may be flying under its own power."
[18:41] Mani: roll 1d20+3
[18:41] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{23}
[18:41] Ken_Yamada: "What is IT exactly?"
[18:41] Ken_Yamada: "All I saw was some weird glimmer."
[18:41] Sheena: "Its got controll again, Spread out!"
[18:41] * Reis stares at him. "You're asking _us_? It's a glowing human who seems to be a mage of similar style to Senpai and myself."
[18:41] * Sheena will fly up about 50 feet
[18:41] Alathon: Martha: "What?"
[18:41] Alathon: Martha: "A Crystal Tokyo mage?"
[18:42] Mani: "It's curving, flying up more than east."
[18:42] Alathon: She sounds surprised saying this.
[18:42] Reis: "No, our style is different."
[18:42] Ken_Yamada: "Oi! Don't give me that look! And a mage like you guys?"
[18:42] Alathon: Martha: "But I.. never mind."
[18:42] * Reis flies out away from Sheena and gets some distance, all four of her at different points."
[18:42] * Ken_Yamada snorts
[18:42] Kuonji: "Oh for the love of..."
[18:42] * Mani points where she's looking.
[18:42] Kuonji: "I'm going to pursue."
[18:42] Ken_Yamada: "Whatever... Let's get going."
[18:42] * Kuonji takes off at top speed on foot
[18:42] Reis: (Feel free to spread out, he can shoot back)
[18:43] * Ken_Yamada picks a orders Enigma to follow him and heads off as well...
[18:43] Mani: "Damn, it's fast..."
[18:44] * Reis frowns and suddenly BLURS across the first mile of distance.
[18:44] Sheena: "Im after it!"
[18:44] * Sheena disapreas in a blur as well
[18:44] * Reis appears again at a mile, and hops again.
[18:44] * Mani frowns.
[18:45] Alathon: ((okay one sec))
[18:45] Alathon: ((getting everything straightened out in my head, distance wise))
[18:45] Alathon: Martha: "Well.. damn."
[18:45] * Sheena : A faint grisly wing would be heard as sheena blurs out.
[18:46] Reis: (I'm happy. I'm _finally_ getting to put Reis in the kind of fight she was built for ;) )
[18:46] Alathon: ((one sec, need to calc sheena's speed))
[18:46] Ken_Yamada: (*Me bow to the twink-master*)
[18:46] Alathon: Martha: "Okay.. stay here, get closer, go after one of those fleeing trucks?"
[18:46] Alathon: Martha: "I'm in favor of anything that involve us displacing.. moving."
[18:47] Mani: "Hm. If they're going to be throwing around area attacks, I won't be able to engage that thing even if I can reach it..."
[18:47] Sheena: (as a side note, i am NOT getting up close to the thing.)
[18:47] Ken_Yamada: (As a note I'll at least have to get withing the range of my rifle)
[18:47] Mani: "Let's get closer to the action and see what things look like."
[18:47] Mani: "How fast can you run?"
[18:48] Reis: (Yeah, the battle's left you behind. We just crossed like two miles)
[18:48] Alathon: Martha: "Pretty damned fast.. not quite as fast as a hogg out in the open, but close."
[18:48] Mani: "Let's go on foot then, ok?"
[18:49] Sheena: (gota be wierd where running 50+mph is a normal thing and most can do it, )
[18:49] Alathon: ((does Ken have speed?))
[18:49] Alathon: ((if not, now's a good time to speak up))
[18:49] Mani: (He already headed off with Enigma.)
[18:49] Reis: ("I'm actually _here_ and I'm still getting left behind! ;_;")
[18:49] Ken_Yamada: (No)
[18:50] Ken_Yamada: (Base movement is 60/round)
[18:50] Alathon: Okay, so.. before combat time starts again, here's where everyone is
[18:50] Alathon: Mani and Martha are on the ground with Yuuno, near the truck
[18:50] Alathon: Ken is a couple hundred feet off towards the battle.
[18:51] Alathon: Reis is a speck off in the sky, with Sheena being a speck slightly behind her.
[18:51] Alathon: actually
[18:51] Reis: (How long passed? If it was over twelve seconds, I lept again if I needed to :P )
[18:51] Alathon: sheena is just taking off, since she has to actually activate Grisly Wing
[18:51] Alathon: 6 seconds
[18:51] Sheena: (im left behind at 500mph)
[18:51] Alathon: which is 4400 feet / round
[18:51] Alathon: whereas reis does 5280 feet / round teleporting
[18:52] Mani: "Maybe I should go ahead, actually..."
[18:52] Sheena: (doh)
[18:52] Alathon: actually nm.. cast, then move.. so you're about 800 feet short of Reis
[18:52] Alathon: okay
[18:52] Alathon: for sanity's sake, splitting rooms
[18:52] Alathon: Reis, Sheena, join #CT2
[18:53] Kuonji: (and kuonji doesn't even rate a mention T_T)
[18:53] Reis: (Well, he's invisible. Who'd know?)
[18:53] Ken_Yamada: (The GM?)
[18:56] Alathon: okay.. Martha and Mani rapidly catch up with Ken
[18:56] Alathon: do you stop to tell him what you've decided to do, or just blow by ;p
[18:57] Mani: (Actually...)
[18:57] Mani: "Let's see if I can catch up ..."
[18:57] Kuonji: (you gonna carry him? :P)
[18:57] Mani: roll 1d20+8 teleport
[18:57] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+8 teleport --> [ 1d20=2 ]{10}
[18:57] Ken_Yamada: (Blow by I think. T_T)
[18:57] Mani: (Bleh. I guess that's a no.)
[18:58] Kuonji: (ouch... one less and you woulda ended up telefragged :P)
[18:58] Mani: (Nah. Just somewhere else.)
[18:58] Kuonji: (somewhere else occupied)
[18:58] Ken_Yamada: (The sun's rather nice this time of year...)
[18:58] Alathon: roll 1d4
[18:58] Ken_Yamada: (:P)
[18:58] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d4 --> [ 1d4=3 ]{3}
[18:58] Alathon: roll 1d5280
[18:58] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d5280 --> [ 1d5280=764 ]{764}
[18:59] Ken_Yamada: (O_O)
[18:59] Alathon: Mani vanishes
[18:59] Ken_Yamada: (Al, you DO know I was joking, right?)
[18:59] Reis: (... Wow...)
[18:59] Kuonji: (she teleported to another plane)
[18:59] Ken_Yamada: (...crap, Yarrow's gonna kill me. T_T)
[19:00] Mani: (Idiots.)
[19:00] Kuonji: (it's feet, I know :P)
[19:00] Kuonji: (no need to be so serious, grouch)
[19:01] Ken_Yamada: (This is yarrow. She's only serious unless she's having fun at someone else's expense. ;P)
[19:01] Kuonji: (heh, sounds about right)
[19:02] Alathon: roll 1d60
[19:02] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d60 --> [ 1d60=53 ]{53}
[19:03] Sheena: ...
[19:03] Alathon: okay
[19:03] Alathon: Martha: "What the.."
[19:03] Alathon: Martha runs over to Ken.
[19:03] Alathon: Martha: "OKay.. Mani just vanished. Is that normal?"
[19:03] Alathon: Martha: "Or do we have some sort of body snatcher running around?"
[19:03] * Ken_Yamada looks back, "Wha?)
[19:04] Ken_Yamada: "Umm... She... Vannished?"
[19:04] * Ken_Yamada looks ahead and blink-blinks
[19:04] Ken_Yamada: "Well, she's never done that as long as I've worked with her..."
[19:05] Ken_Yamada: "Turning into a small and adorable fluffball, yes... but vannishing... That's news to me."
[19:05] * Ken_Yamada is still running as he says this by the way...
[19:07] Ken_Yamada: (*Waits for the GM to finish loading...*)
[19:07] Alathon: Around when you finish saying this, Mani will arrive from the south, running Very fast.
[19:07] Ken_Yamada: (Behind us?)
[19:08] Mani: "Ken? Why are you going on foot?"
[19:08] Ken_Yamada: "Ah, there she is..."
[19:08] Ken_Yamada: "Well, unlike Sheena and Reis, I don't have the luxuray of going at ludicrous speeds."
[19:08] Alathon: Martha looks a little antsy, but stops and waits to see who's going where.
[19:09] Reis: ("Or... anyone else in the party.")
[19:09] Mani: "There's always the humvee."
[19:09] * Ken_Yamada frowns, "That got totaled though... right?"
[19:09] Mani: "No, just you did. Let's grab it. I don't want you running around here alone."

[19:10] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d10 --> [ 1d10=9 ]{9}
[19:10] Ken_Yamada: "Aww, that's sweet... Okay, back to the hummer then."
[19:10] Alathon: Martha: "Good call, at least til we get close."

[19:10] Kuonji: roll 1d20+18
[19:10] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{36}
[19:10] Kuonji: (yay)
[19:10] * Ken_Yamada rubs his head...
[19:11] Ken_Yamada: "Dang, must've smacked my head something bad if I got THAT idea in my head."
[19:11] Sheena: (we told you twice)
[19:11] Kuonji: roll 5d8+47
[19:11] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 5d8+47 --> [ 5d8=25 ]{72}
[19:11] Kuonji: roll 6d6
[19:11] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=25 ]{25}
[19:11] Ken_Yamada: (Thankyou Sheena... for ruining my recovery. =_=)
[19:11] Kuonji: (aww so close to hitting tripple digits)
[19:13] Alathon: Anyways, you all will manage to get in the humvee and start making decent time eastward
[19:13] Alathon: it'll only take a couple minutes to get fairly close.. Martha stops it behind a busted up UST truck.
[19:13] * Ken_Yamada will ride on the turret
[19:13] Alathon: you'll have targets of opportunity before she parks it; do you shoot em up?
[19:13] Ken_Yamada: (Yep)
[19:13] Alathon: You can see from their uniforms that they're Texans
[19:14] Mani: (Btw, did you ask how much you healed up before we entered combat time, Kuonji?)
[19:14] Alathon: using the turret or your gun?
[19:14] Alathon: he did
[19:14] Kuonji: (yeah)
[19:14] Ken_Yamada: (The turret.)
[19:14] Mani: (Ok. Just checking. :) )

[19:18] Alathon: the rest get shot
[19:18] Alathon: wait.. wtf.. THREE of them got 20's?
[19:18] Kuonji: (damn, three crits dodges O_O)
[19:18] Alathon: one of them apparently saw it coming, and crouched.
[19:18] Kuonji: (lol)
[19:18] Kuonji: (he was tieing his shoe!)
[19:19] * Ken_Yamada makes a note to pay SPECIAL attention to the one who crouched...
[19:19] Mani: ("Ooh, a penny!")
[19:19] Ken_Yamada: (What's the damage? Or were those auto-kills? :P)
[19:20] Alathon: roll 3#2d8
[19:20] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3#2d8 --> [ 2d8=11 ]{11}, [ 2d8=11 ]{11}, [ 2d8=9 ]{9}

[19:20] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3#2d8 --> [ 2d8=12 ]{12}, [ 2d8=14 ]{14}, [ 2d8=9 ]{9}
[19:20] Alathon: roll 2#2d8

[19:21] Ken_Yamada: (Will be holding enigma's action until Ken's init)
[19:22] Alathon: okay fight order is Kuonji, Enigma Ken, Mani, Martha, Texans
[19:22] Alathon: with Ken, Martha, and Mani starting on or in the humvee
[19:22] Mani: (Just regular Texans around?)
[19:23] Ken_Yamada: (How far away are the texans btw?)
[19:23] Kuonji: (I beat ya to the evangelist :D)
[19:23] Ken_Yamada: (Yes yes, fuck you Kuonji... happy now? :P)
[19:23] Mani: (Enh, what do I care? I don't mind if you take him out all by yourself.)
[19:24] Alathon: as far as you can tell
[19:25] Alathon: just regular texans
[19:25] Alathon: anyways, a bit on what's going on
[19:25] Mani: (And they're unarmored, right?)
[19:25] Alathon: there's a pretty heavy mix of dust and gunsmoke in the air
[19:25] Alathon: which limits eyesight to a couple hundred feet at best.. or less
[19:25] Alathon: There's fires off in the distance, and plenty of gunfire still going on.
[19:26] Alathon: which somewhat overpowers the cries of the wounded and dying.
[19:29] Alathon: and, kuonji is doing something, then it'll be enigma/ken
[19:30] Kuonji: roll 1d20+18
[19:30] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{21}

[19:30] Kuonji: roll 6d6
[19:30] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=18 ]{18}
[19:31] Alathon: Alright, Ken & Enigma are up
[19:31] Reis: (Ah, sister has arrived)
[19:32] Ken_Yamada: (How far away are the texans right now?)
[19:33] Alathon: less than a hundred feet
[19:33] Kuonji: (you have a sister?)
[19:33] Kuonji: (is she hot and is she legal?)
[19:33] * Ken_Yamada takes out the prototype and aims at the closest texan as he orders Enigma to grab him...

[19:36] Ala-bot: Ken_Yamada rolled 1d20+18-2 (Infantry rifle, rapid shot) --> [ 1d20=3 ]{19}
[19:36] Alathon: anyways
[19:36] Alathon: you blow him apart
[19:36] Ken_Yamada: (Ah, right.)
[19:37] Alathon: the second shot, perfectly aimed, carges a hole in his upper chest.. leaving the head rather seperate.
[19:37] Alathon: martha splits attacks,a nd launches two lightning bolts at two different texans
[19:37] Ken_Yamada: (So I don't get my other two attacks?)
[19:38] Alathon: if you want them to be on something else, you gotta say ahead of time that you're splitting attacks
[19:38] Alathon: since the penalty applies to all shots
[19:38] Ken_Yamada: (Right)
[19:38] Alathon: roll 1d20+26-2
[19:38] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+26-2 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{28}
[19:38] Kuonji: ("Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!")
[19:38] Alathon: roll 1d20+21-2
[19:38] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+21-2 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{22}

[19:38] Alathon: She blasts two texans, leaving one left
[19:38] Alathon: Mani is up
[19:39] Ken_Yamada: (Video?)
[19:39] * Mani will head into the nearest group of Texans and split her attacks among a lucky few.
[19:39] Mani: (Or pair, if that's as many as I can manage.)
[19:41] Kuonji: ((Link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=8ufaBKdY60w)http://youtube.com/watch?v=8ufaBKdY60w)
[19:41] Alathon: there's only one left in the current group
[19:41] Alathon: if you wanna go after another one.. you can roll to spot one
[19:41] Alathon: or just follow the gunfire
[19:41] Mani: roll 1d20+3
[19:41] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{12}
[19:41] Alathon: it'll take a bit, but it looks like there's some off south a bit.
[19:41] * Mani heads over to them.
[19:43] Alathon: You'll reach them in time to get one attack off
[19:43] Alathon: per hand of course
[19:43] Mani: roll 2#1d20+29
[19:43] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#1d20+29 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{47}, [ 1d20=1 ]{30}

[19:44] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{5}
[19:44] Alathon: The guy looks... absolutely amazed to see a woman in crystal armor swinging swords at him.
[19:44] Mani: roll 1d8+6
[19:44] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d8+6 --> [ 1d8=6 ]{12}
[19:44] Alathon: Your offhand swing catches on something and you drop the sword, but it doesn't matter
[19:44] Alathon: this kills him.
[19:44] Alathon: er, penetrates
[19:44] Sheena: (stop picking on the norms)
[19:44] Alathon: the linked attack kills him ;p
[19:45] Mani: rell 3d8
[19:45] Alathon: or will if you don't roll a 3 ;p
[19:45] Mani: (Guess I'll leave it as rell, then.)
[19:45] Alathon: ...
[19:45] Alathon: rollit
[19:45] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled --> error: malformed expression
[19:45] Mani: roll 3d8
[19:45] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=11 ]{11}
[19:45] Alathon: that wasn't that hard ;p
[19:45] Alathon: only a 511 in 512 chance ;p
[19:46] Mani: (Enh. I figured if you said it killed him without me rolling, why roll.)
[19:46] Alathon: I looked at it and said "there's no way it'll do less than 4 damage",t hen remembered three crit dodges in a row earlier
[19:46] Kuonji: "Hnnn, looks like you dropped something taichou."
[19:47] Mani: "Oh, so this is where you vanished to?"
[19:47] Alathon: end of round, top of the order
[19:48] Alathon: so.. as things stand.. martha and ken are near the humvee, Mani is off a couple hundred feet to the south, barely visible
[19:48] Alathon: near what look to be a half a dozen texans,t hough it's hard to tell at distance
[19:49] Sheena: (and here she earns the nickname blenderchan among the ust0
[19:49] Sheena: ()
[19:49] Ken_Yamada: (She slices, She Dices, and she makes Juline fries!)
[19:49] Sheena: (Kuonji: its made of peoiple! Sheena: pass the katchup)
[19:50] Kuonji: (no, that's the frogs in Taro's games)

[19:52] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 5d8+47 --> [ 5d8=16 ]{63}
[19:52] Kuonji: roll 6d6
[19:52] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=25 ]{25}
[19:53] Alathon: One of the texans near Mani is sheared in half diagonally.
[19:53] Alathon: Ken/Enigma are up
[19:54] * Ken_Yamada gets enigma to grab another texan...
[19:54] Ken_Yamada: roll 1d20+9 (Telekinetic hold)
[19:54] Ala-bot: Ken_Yamada rolled 1d20+9 (Telekinetic hold) --> [ 1d20=9 ]{18}
[19:55] Alathon: blea
[19:55] Alathon: you're outta range for that
[19:55] Alathon: at least.. I think you are, one sec
[19:55] Ken_Yamada: ...
[19:55] Alathon: nearest enemy is ~200 feet away
[19:56] Ken_Yamada: (So not within Enigma's range then?)
[19:56] Alathon: wait, you are.. it's just less powerful
[19:56] Alathon: 2 ranks less powerful
[19:56] Alathon: since it's in the 50-500 ft range
[19:57] Ken_Yamada: (Okay... so then what?)
[19:57] Alathon: make the roll
[19:57] Alathon: enigma can try to grab him
[19:57] Ken_Yamada: roll 1d20+9
[19:57] Ala-bot: Ken_Yamada rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{19}
[19:57] Alathon: but he'll have a somewhat easier time trying to break the grapple if he gets a chance
[19:57] Alathon: which is, admittedly, unlikely ;p
[19:57] Alathon: no dodge, he can't possibly anticipate this
[19:57] Alathon: so, ken's turn
[19:58] * Ken_Yamada lines up a shot with the rifle, and fires
[19:58] Ken_Yamada: roll 1d20+23-2 (Infantry rifle, rapidshot)
[19:58] Ala-bot: Ken_Yamada rolled 1d20+23-2 (Infantry rifle, rapidshot) --> [ 1d20=3 ]{24}

[19:59] Ken_Yamada: roll 4d8+2
[19:59] Ala-bot: Ken_Yamada rolled 4d8+2 --> [ 4d8=17 ]{19}
[19:59] Alathon: you blast him
[19:59] Alathon: Ken and Mani see one of the nearby texans get shredded by plasma bolts.
[20:00] Ken_Yamada: "I love... this gun. Vindictive death in one sweet package!"
[20:01] Alathon: Martha runs up, fast, and blasts a single one with lightning
[20:01] Mani: (Gun: "Please insert 20 credits for 4 more shots.")
[20:01] Alathon: roll 1d20+26
[20:01] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{28}
[20:01] Alathon: roll 1d20+4
[20:01] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{18}
[20:01] Alathon: roll 7d8
[20:01] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 7d8 --> [ 7d8=29 ]{29}
[20:01] Alathon: Dead.
[20:01] Alathon: er
[20:01] Alathon: Mani does something first
[20:01] Alathon: technically speaking ;p
[20:02] Mani: (How many Texans are within reach?)
[20:02] * Mani picks up her sword.
[20:03] Alathon: having to pick up your sword, and move to some, you can split attacks and get a swing in on two
[20:03] Alathon: there's only three left
[20:04] Mani: (Ok. Penalty?)
[20:05] Alathon: -2
[20:05] Mani: roll 2#1d20+27
[20:05] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#1d20+27 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{35}, [ 1d20=1 ]{28}
[20:05] Mani: (3 ones and a two so far...)
[20:07] Alathon: ....
[20:07] Alathon: damn
[20:07] Alathon: that's some amazing un-luck
[20:08] Alathon: In your haste, you stumble and inadvertantly try to catch yourself on your swords.. which, while quite strong, are not spring steel and shatter.
[20:08] Alathon: the three remaining texans aim at Mani and fire.
[20:08] Mani: (Both?)
[20:08] Alathon: yes
[20:08] * Kuonji blinks
[20:08] Alathon: roll 3#1d20+7
[20:08] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3#1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{19}, [ 1d20=8 ]{15}, [ 1d20=10 ]{17}
[20:08] Alathon: They're kinda on target
[20:09] Mani: (Enh. I don't mind horrible luck against enemies like these. Best time for it, really.)
[20:09] * Mani ignores their shots.
[20:09] Alathon: ping..ping.. ping
[20:09] Alathon: roll 3#1d8+2
[20:09] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3#1d8+2 --> [ 1d8=7 ]{9}, [ 1d8=5 ]{7}, [ 1d8=7 ]{9}
[20:09] Alathon: Yeah, they aren't getting through
[20:09] * Mani idly comments, "Might want to run while you have the chance."
[20:09] Alathon: A couple of them look stupefied at this.. one of them looks pissed off.
[20:10] * Kuonji chuckles
[20:10] Mani: (1 round to create each sword, I suppose?)
[20:10] Alathon: Soldier: "Heathen demon!"
[20:10] Alathon: yeah
[20:10] Alathon: end of round, top of the order
[20:10] Alathon: Kuonji is up
[20:11] Kuonji: roll 1d20+18
[20:11] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{31}
[20:11] Ken_Yamada: (Wait, if the demon is a Heathern, doesn't that make it a good person?)
[20:11] Mani: (It's not a double negative, RZ...)
[20:12] Alathon: roll 1d20+3
[20:12] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{8}
[20:12] Kuonji: roll 5d8+47
[20:12] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 5d8+47 --> [ 5d8=22 ]{69}
[20:12] Kuonji: roll 6d6
[20:12] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=15 ]{15}
[20:13] Ken_Yamada: (69 Dudes!)
[20:13] Mani: (Hey, whatever you're into.)
[20:13] Kuonji: (lol)
[20:14] Alathon: The one with the big mouth loses his head.
[20:14] Alathon: The other two look like their about ready to bolt.
[20:14] Alathon: Ken, you're up
[20:15] Kuonji: "Remind me to add that one to the list later."
[20:15] * Mani says in a bored tone, "Uh huh..." as she focuses on her left hand and the crystal sword forming in it. (But not taking her attention completely off the Texans.)
[20:15] * Ken_Yamada swaps out for the Plasma rifle, takes aim at one of the two, and pulls the trigger...
[20:15] Ken_Yamada: roll 1d20+23 (Plasma Rifle)
[20:15] Ala-bot: Ken_Yamada rolled 1d20+23 (Plasma Rifle) --> [ 1d20=15 ]{38}
[20:15] Alathon: ((regular, or modified?))
[20:16] Ken_Yamada: (Regular)
[20:16] Alathon: ((nod)
[20:16] Alathon: Your rifle hums as it charges up.
[20:16] Kuonji: "Pssht, you're no fun."
[20:16] Alathon: Martha splits attacks to finish the last two off.
[20:16] Alathon: roll 1d20+26-2
[20:16] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+26-2 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{27}
[20:16] Alathon: roll 1d20+21-2
[20:16] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+21-2 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{34}
[20:16] Alathon: roll 1d20+4
[20:16] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{15}
[20:16] Alathon: roll 1d20+4
[20:16] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{6}
[20:16] Alathon: roll 2#7d8
[20:16] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#7d8 --> [ 7d8=26 ]{26}, [ 7d8=36 ]{36}
[20:16] * Mani was responding to the demon comment, btw.
[20:16] Alathon: and blasts both of them into steaming corpses, each iwth a bolt of lightning from one hand.
[20:16] Alathon: *nod*
[20:17] * Ken_Yamada sighs
[20:17] Kuonji: (oh)
[20:18] * Mani comments to the corpses, "Should have listened. Ah, well. I suppose it wouldn't have made much of a difference."
[20:18] Alathon: Martha: "Hmm..."
[20:18] * Ken_Yamada looks at Martha
[20:18] Alathon: a spattering of bullets come in everyone's direction
[20:18] Alathon: Martha catches one in the arm.
[20:18] Alathon: roll 1d8+2
[20:18] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d8+2 --> [ 1d8=7 ]{9}
[20:18] Alathon: Martha: "Augh.. dammit!"
[20:19] Ken_Yamada: "Shit! Martha!"
[20:19] Alathon: Martha: "I think the light show got us some attention."
[20:19] Kuonji: (it's a scratch)
[20:19] Mani: "Good. We were out of targets."
[20:19] * Mani works on creating her other sword as she heads in their direction.
[20:20] Alathon: you'll succeed
[20:21] Mani: (Ooh, simplified play. In that case, I kill all the enemy, too.)
[20:21] Alathon: you fail ;p
[20:21] *** Reis has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[20:21] Kuonji: ("Yay now is fighty time fighty time blood blood blood.")
[20:21] Ken_Yamada: (Well, it was bound to happen.)
[20:21] Mani: (Damn. I crit failed and got Reis.)
[20:22] Ken_Yamada: (That's because you tried using her as a human shield. ;P)
[20:22] *** Reis has joined #crystaltokyo.
[20:22] Alathon: anyways.. looking off tot he northeast, you can pick out muzzle flashes.
[20:22] Alathon: It's hard to say exactly where bullets are coming from..
[20:23] Alathon: but they seem to be the right direction, given that you heard cracks from that direction around when Martha got shot.
[20:23] Ken_Yamada: (Can I make a spot check with my enchanced vision?)
[20:24] Reis: (What'd I miss?)
[20:24] Ken_Yamada: (You died)
[20:24] Ken_Yamada: (;P)
[20:24] Kuonji: (I really wanted to say that IC, but I think Mani would have me up for a psych eval :P)
[20:26] Alathon: How do you all approach.. straight down their throats?
[20:26] Mani: (Mani will.)
[20:27] * Ken_Yamada will approach with Enigma positioned in front of him to take any oncomming fire...
[20:27] Ken_Yamada: (Only up until he can make them out that is)
[20:32] Alathon: pardon the delay
[20:33] Alathon: okay
[20:33] Alathon: how fast does mani go?
[20:33] * Mani goes at full speed.
[20:33] Alathon: okay
[20:33] Alathon: Mani will be up front.. Martha will follow her
[20:33] Alathon: Ken will, at this point, be way behind
[20:36] Alathon: hm
[20:36] Alathon: alright, init
[20:36] Ken_Yamada: roll 1d20+9 Ken
[20:36] Ala-bot: Ken_Yamada rolled 1d20+9 Ken --> [ 1d20=19 ]{28}
[20:36] Ken_Yamada: roll 1d20+9 Enigma
[20:36] Ala-bot: Ken_Yamada rolled 1d20+9 Enigma --> [ 1d20=7 ]{16}
[20:36] Alathon: as you all get closer, you'll actually be targeted competently, at ranges they can hopet o hit you at
[20:37] Alathon: they'll get one round of free shots before Mani gets in range, two before martha gets to melee (if she gets that close)
[20:37] Alathon: it'll be around.. hmm.. a good 4-5 rounds until Ken gets to where he can make out the targets in all the smoke
[20:38] Ken_Yamada: (Right)
[20:38] Ken_Yamada: (Will there be any cover once I do?)
[20:38] Alathon: hmm.. spot check
[20:38] Kuonji: (everyone?)
[20:38] Ken_Yamada: roll 1d20+17 Spot
[20:38] Ala-bot: Ken_Yamada rolled 1d20+17 Spot --> [ 1d20=1 ]{18}
[20:39] Ken_Yamada: (DR)
[20:39] Ken_Yamada: roll 1d20+17
[20:39] Ala-bot: Ken_Yamada rolled 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{20}
[20:39] Ken_Yamada: (Better than a fail T_T)
[20:39] Ken_Yamada: ^Critfail
[20:39] Kuonji: roll 1d20+11 spot just in case
[20:39] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+11 spot just in case --> [ 1d20=14 ]{25}
[20:39] Kuonji: (dude, waste of a DR)
[20:39] Mani: (I suppose, but if you only have 1 DR, a pretty minor thing to use it on, especially so early in the session.)
[20:40] Ken_Yamada: (Meh, I've never used DR before. :P)
[20:40] Alathon: You'll see what looks to be an abandoned Texan truck around two-thirds of the way there.
[20:40] Ken_Yamada: (Though, I'll keep that in mind from now on.)
[20:40] Alathon: or at least, somethign that's taking up a lotta space and isn't moving
[20:40] Alathon: anyways
[20:40] Mani: (Ooh, exploding cover! :) )
[20:41] Ken_Yamada: (Heh)
[20:42] Alathon: roll 1d20+4 Texans #1
[20:43] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 Texans #1 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{21}

[20:43] Alathon: roll 1d20+10 Martha
[20:43] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 Texans #3 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{11}
[20:43] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+10 Martha --> [ 1d20=16 ]{26}
[20:43] Alathon: mani, kuonji, init
[20:44] Mani: roll 1d20+9
[20:44] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{17}
[20:44] Kuonji: roll 1d20+14
[20:44] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{29}
[20:48] Alathon: alright
[20:48] Alathon: Fight order is: Kuonji, Ken, Martha, Texans #1, Mani, Enigma, Texans #2, Texans #3
[20:48] Alathon: and we'll do this fight after a short food break
[20:48] Mani: Wine break. :)
[20:49] Ken_Yamada: (Sorry, forgot to say... Ken is on Enigma's init. :P)
[20:49] Alathon: roll 30d6
[20:49] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 30d6 --> [ 30d6=107 ]{107}
[20:49] Ken_Yamada: (Meh, Wine's over-rated... and I say that on account of me never having ever had any.)
[20:49] Reis: (Owie...)
[20:49] Reis: (/me claps hands and prays for the poor soul)
[20:50] Ken_Yamada: (...that's the bus number I take home from class. o_O)
[20:50] Alathon: restart on the hour
[20:50] Ken_Yamada: (One hour break? Umm, okay.)
[20:50] Reis: (Huh. What a coincidence. He was rolling to see where the collateral damage from a Nanoha fight ended up)
[20:51] Ken_Yamada: (*Blinks as his house is blasted to atoms, leaving only him ansd his PC, covered in soot.)
[20:52] Mani: (Wow, I've never seen that kind of damage take the bus before.)
[21:03] Alathon: alright, we ready to roll?
[21:03] Mani: Sure.
[21:03] Alathon: all the texans get some shots off at mani while she's still closing
[21:03] Alathon: roll 18#1d20+7
[21:03] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 18#1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{24}, [ 1d20=2 ]{9}, [ 1d20=2 ]{9}, [ 1d20=4 ]{11}, [ 1d20=20 ]{27}, [ 1d20=17 ]{24}, [ 1d20=13 ]{20}, [ 1d20=1 ]{8}, [ 1d20=3 ]{10}, [ 1d20=1 ]{8}, [ 1d20=17 ]{24}, [ 1d20=10 ]{17}, [ 1d20=18 ]{25}, [ 1d20=10 ]{17}, [ 1d20=3 ]{10}, [ 1d20=8 ]{15}, [ 1d20=4 ]{11}, [ 1d20=19 ]{26}
[21:03] Alathon: do you try to avoid any or eat em?
[21:04] Mani: (Firing the same type of weapon as the others?)
[21:04] Alathon: it sounds like it
[21:04] Alathon: cracks, rather than the heavy booms that Handcannons make
[21:04] * Mani ignores them.
[21:05] Alathon: roll 15#1d8+2
[21:05] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 15#1d8+2 --> [ 1d8=8 ]{10}, [ 1d8=7 ]{9}, [ 1d8=8 ]{10}, [ 1d8=6 ]{8}, [ 1d8=2 ]{4}, [ 1d8=4 ]{6}, [ 1d8=8 ]{10}, [ 1d8=3 ]{5}, [ 1d8=4 ]{6}, [ 1d8=3 ]{5}, [ 1d8=1 ]{3}, [ 1d8=2 ]{4}, [ 1d8=1 ]{3}, [ 1d8=7 ]{9}, [ 1d8=7 ]{9}
[21:05] Alathon: roll 2d8+2
[21:05] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2d8+2 --> [ 2d8=14 ]{16}
[21:05] Mani: (Someone fired something bigger?)
[21:05] Reis: (Critted)
[21:06] Alathon: shot after shot ricochets off your armor.. which is actually quite unpleasant, as while they aren't penetrating, they do stagger you somewhat from just the force
[21:06] Alathon: by the end of this round you'll be within 200 feet of them..
[21:06] Alathon: andyways.. end of this round, start of the next
[21:06] Alathon: Ken is still 4 rounds out of sight range
[21:07] Alathon: Martha is trying to catch up with Mani
[21:07] Alathon: Kuonji is, as usual, nowhere to be seen
[21:08] Alathon: As everyone gets closer you can see that five trucks have been parked more or less near each other, circled, to provide cover
[21:08] Alathon: There are a number of texans visible, as well as the gleam of at least one Evangelist's armor
[21:08] Sheena: (thats when you call in an air strike)
[21:09] * Mani calls back, "Martha, want to take care of the cover?"
[21:10] Kuonji: (christ it's hot out_
[21:10] Alathon: Martha: "Gladly, just gimme a moment"
[21:13] Alathon: sorry for the delay
[21:13] Mani: (It's ok. Martha said it'd be a moment.)
[21:14] Ken_Yamada: (Back)
[21:14] Mani: (If all those trucks go up, there won't be any Texans left to fight... :) )
[21:15] Kuonji: roll 1d20+90
[21:15] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+90 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{93}
[21:15] Kuonji: (O_o)
[21:15] Kuonji: roll 1d20+22
[21:15] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+22 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{29}
[21:16] Ken_Yamada: (...where'd that +90 come from? O_o)
[21:16] Kuonji: roll 5d8+47
[21:16] Alathon: Jump roll
[21:16] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 5d8+47 --> [ 5d8=32 ]{79}
[21:16] Kuonji: roll 6d6
[21:16] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=18 ]{18}
[21:17] Kuonji: (damn, so close to trip digits again)
[21:17] Alathon: Ken, approaching the texans?
[21:17] Ken_Yamada: (Yep. I plan to take cover behind the wheel of the van.)
[21:18] Alathon: alright
[21:18] Alathon: Martha is up
[21:18] Alathon: she splits her attacks and targets three of the five trucks
[21:19] Alathon: roll 1d20+26-4
[21:19] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+26-4 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{39}
[21:19] Alathon: roll 1d20+21-4
[21:19] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+21-4 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{20}
[21:19] Alathon: roll 1d20+16-4
[21:19] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+16-4 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{30}
[21:19] Alathon: roll 3#7d8
[21:19] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3#7d8 --> [ 7d8=29 ]{29}, [ 7d8=36 ]{36}, [ 7d8=37 ]{37}
[21:19] Alathon: alright
[21:19] Alathon: all three of them go up
[21:19] Ken_Yamada: (Oh, and while I fire from a distance, enigma will go invisible and approach them)
[21:19] Alathon: roll 3#10d8
[21:19] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3#10d8 --> [ 10d8=53 ]{53}, [ 10d8=31 ]{31}, [ 10d8=38 ]{38}
[21:19] Kuonji: (so, how much damage do I take? ^^;)
[21:20] Alathon: the 2nd and 3rd ones
[21:20] Alathon: you're not close enough to the 1st truck to get hit
[21:20] Alathon: dex for half
[21:20] Alathon: DC uh.. 18
[21:20] Kuonji: (dex or reflex?)
[21:20] Alathon: reflex, sorry
[21:20] Kuonji: roll 1d20+14
[21:20] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{34}
[21:21] Kuonji: (great, a crit when a 10 would have sufficed >_<)
[21:21] Reis: (Doesn't that mean you take zip damage?)
[21:21] Kuonji: (uh... I don't think it does)
[21:21] Kuonji: (I could be mistaken though)
[21:21] Reis: (Gotta be something for a crit :P )
[21:22] Mani: (There is. He automatically makes the save.)
[21:22] Alathon: no
[21:22] Reis: (Well, if you could've made it anyway though ;) )
[21:22] Alathon: what mani said
[21:22] Alathon: and, second reflex?
[21:22] Reis: (Darn)
[21:22] Alathon: for the other explosion?
[21:22] Kuonji: roll 1d20+14
[21:22] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{18}
[21:23] Kuonji: (heh)
[21:23] Kuonji: (sigh, why can't besm have that awesome rogue feat?)
[21:23] Ken_Yamada: (Which one?)
[21:23] Mani: (No rogues. ;) )
[21:23] Kuonji: (the one that lets you take zip damage if you make the save, and half if you DON'T)
[21:23] Kuonji: (which is stupid)
[21:23] Kuonji: (there are some great anime theives)
[21:23] Kuonji: (Lupin for example)
[21:23] Ken_Yamada: (Dunno that one... then again, I don't play weakling rogues)
[21:24] Mani: (Idiot.)
[21:24] Kuonji: (Yeah, weak huh? Bet you play a dumb ass barb that eats transmutated people)
[21:24] Ken_Yamada: (Nope! I play fighters and Pallies! ^-^)
[21:24] Alathon: because that feat was sickeningly overpowered
[21:25] Reis: (Cost it as two feats or more?)
[21:25] Kuonji: (dude)
[21:25] Kuonji: (when you consider the fact that high level mages can rewrite reality)
[21:25] Kuonji: (it's not that bad)
[21:25] Alathon: hmm
[21:25] Alathon: roll 1d20+10
[21:25] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{16}
[21:25] Alathon: roll 1d20+8
[21:25] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{25}
[21:26] Alathon: As far as you can see.. the only texans left alive are busy burning to death, running around and screaming piteously.
[21:26] Kuonji: (Kuonji too)
[21:28] Alathon: anyways
[21:28] Alathon: what are people doing?
[21:28] Kuonji: (so how much damage did I take?)
[21:28] Alathon: Martha is gonna get a bit closer, and head around one way to blast the last two trucks.
[21:28] Mani: (The armored one is down, too?)
[21:28] Alathon: as far as you all can see, yeah
[21:29] * Mani goes over to look for and remedy any survivors.
[21:30] Alathon: hmm
[21:30] Alathon: the heat is pretty bad, but the armor will shield you from the worst of that.. when you get close, you realize smoke and lack of oxygen may be a problem.
[21:30] Ken_Yamada: (I guess Enigma will move up and throw the survivors into the burning debris or something)
[21:31] Sheena: (never heard of takening them alive for questioning?)
[21:31] * Mani will circle around to where she can get a view of the area without being in it.
[21:31] Alathon: Ken will have time to get into range.. and slowly approach
[21:31] Alathon: roll 1d20+26-2
[21:31] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+26-2 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{42}
[21:31] Alathon: roll 1d20+21-2
[21:31] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+21-2 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{20}
[21:31] Alathon: rofl
[21:31] Reis: (Owie...)
[21:31] Alathon: roll 2#7d8
[21:31] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#7d8 --> [ 7d8=31 ]{31}, [ 7d8=29 ]{29}
[21:31] Alathon: Martha lights off one of the trucks.
[21:31] Reis: (And herself)
[21:32] Alathon: man I'm not sure how to make that kinda crit work, nobody's really in the line of fire
[21:32] Alathon: okay yeah he is
[21:32] Alathon: reflex for half
[21:32] Ken_Yamada: (Who?)
[21:33] Alathon: Kuonji ;p
[21:33] Kuonji: roll 1d20+14
[21:33] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{33}
[21:33] Kuonji: (sigh)
[21:33] Kuonji: (am I dead yet?)
[21:33] Alathon: so, only 15 damage
[21:33] Alathon: I dunno, you ARE counting your hitpoints, right?
[21:33] Alathon: FFS cry more you have 140 and have taken less than half of that in damage
[21:34] Ken_Yamada: (Don't worry! When you die, we'll gather the dragonballs while you train with King Kai and rez you in a year! :D)
[21:34] Mani: (Hey, you don't see me crying about how much damage I've taken. ;) )
[21:34] Alathon: you've taken 15, 19, and 15 damage.. before your 8 points of armor
[21:34] Alathon: those are friggin love taps
[21:34] Sheena: (congrats sakura, your not a wuss any more.)
[21:34] Kuonji: (oh)
[21:37] Alathon: Martha: "Fuck."
[21:37] Alathon: After a bit, she'll light up the fifth truck.
[21:37] Alathon: roll 1d20+26
[21:37] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{36}
[21:37] Alathon: roll 7d8
[21:37] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 7d8 --> [ 7d8=36 ]{36}
[21:37] Alathon: really that's almost just a formailty
[21:37] Kuonji: (reflex save?)
[21:37] Alathon: no need
[21:37] Alathon: it's not one of the trucks you're close to
[21:37] Alathon: and.. it's starting to quite down a bit
[21:38] Alathon: the gunfire until recently was quite loud and steady.. now it's coming in sporadic bursts
[21:38] Alathon: with many more shots being the heavy, booming reports of Handcannons, rather than the sharp cracks of Texan rifles
[21:39] * Mani rejoins Ken and Martha.
[21:39] Mani: "Everything ok?"
[21:39] Ken_Yamada: "Yeah..."
[21:39] Ken_Yamada: "Do you hear that?"
[21:39] Alathon: Martha looks around."
[21:39] Alathon: Martha: "Sounds like it to me."
[21:39] Mani: "Could you be more specific?"
[21:39] Ken_Yamada: "It was so damn loud before... Now it's gone all quiet."
[21:40] Ken_Yamada: "Is this what real war is like?"
[21:40] * Mani shrugs.
[21:40] Mani: "This is what this is like."
[21:40] Ken_Yamada: "Sou-ka..."
[21:40] * Ken_Yamada lets out a sigh, and recalls Enigma...
[21:41] Mani: "Sakura, are you around?"
[21:41] * Kuonji decloaks and approaches... he looks singed, and his hair is sticking up
[21:41] * Kuonji coughs
[21:41] Ken_Yamada: "Medium rare?"
[21:41] * Mani glances at the burning trucks and then at Sakura.
[21:41] Kuonji: "Why is it I frequently get hurt more by my allies then my enemies?"
[21:42] Ken_Yamada: "Consider it an expression of love."
[21:42] Mani: "Because we don't know where you are or what you're doing?"
[21:42] Alathon: Martha winces.
[21:42] Alathon: Martha: "Mani has a point.. but, my appologies regardless."
[21:42] * Ken_Yamada says with a shrug...
[21:42] * Kuonji glares at Ken
[21:42] * Kuonji brandishes his shadowsaber
[21:42] Alathon: Martha looks at his hair for a moment, then winces again.
[21:43] * Mani looks around for any action nearby.
[21:43] Ken_Yamada: "It's cool... Well, he isn't. But as Long as he's got a pulse, no harm done, right?"
[21:43] Kuonji: "I'll show you an expression of love!"
[21:43] * Mani raises an eyebrow at Ken.
[21:43] * Ken_Yamada glances at Kuonji
[21:43] Ken_Yamada: "Sorry bub, I'm into women."
[21:43] * Kuonji looks ready to cut Ken into pieces
[21:43] Mani: "If that's how you want to define 'no harm', go ahead, but it works both ways."
[21:43] Kuonji: "Can I taichou? PLEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEE?"
[21:44] Mani: "Not right now."
[21:44] Mani: "Excuse me a moment."
[21:45] * Ken_Yamada jerks his thumb at Kuonji, "See? He's pretty lively. Don't worry, Mani'll kiss and make him all better."
[21:45] * Kuonji grumbles and dismisses the saber
[21:46] * Mani moves away (to something that obscures her from view a bit, if possible), and with her back to the others and texts a message to Reis & Sheena asking for their status.
[21:47] * Kuonji looks at Martha "You know, if you want to say, accidently throw one of those lightning bolts in his direction, I'll completly back you up and say you were attacking an enemy combatant when that idiot stepped in the way."
[21:48] Alathon: Martha first looks appalled, then realizes you're not serious.
[21:48] Alathon: Or at least, decides to believe you're not serious.
[21:48] Alathon: Martha: "Sorry, but no can do."
[21:48] Ken_Yamada: "Damn... I have to admit, I'm kind've dissappointed. I was expecting something somewhat more original at least," he mutters as he rolls his eyes.
[21:49] Ken_Yamada: "You'd think you'd be able to pull something more creative out of that head of yours."
[21:50] Mani: (Kuonji pulls an anvil out of Ken's head and lets go when it's above said head.)
[21:50] * Ken_Yamada looks over in the direction of where sheena and Reis headed off...
[21:50] Mani: (Did you catch that, Sheena, Reis?)
[21:51] * Mani returns to the others after a bit if there's no response.
[21:51] * Ken_Yamada looks at Mani
[21:51] Ken_Yamada: "Any word from our friends?"
[21:51] * Kuonji glares muderously at Yamada
[21:52] * Ken_Yamada ignores Sakura
[21:52] Sheena: (reponec sent)
[21:53] * Mani glances at Ken for a moment.
[21:53] Mani: "They're coming back with a captive."
[21:53] Ken_Yamada: "Ah, good."
[21:55] * Ken_Yamada briefly checks the ammo count on his rifle, and replaces the spent cells with fresh ones, and does the same with the IPrototype before stowing them...
[21:55] Mani: "We need to get back to the humvee and be ready to move out or join the others."
[21:55] Ken_Yamada: "Roger."
[21:55] * Ken_Yamada glances at Martha, "After you?"
[21:55] * Mani heads back.
[21:56] Mani: "Ken, make Enigma visible from the air."
[21:56] * Ken_Yamada does so.
[21:56] Ken_Yamada: "Any reason why?
[21:56] Mani: "So Sheena and Reis can see us easily."
[21:56] Ken_Yamada: "Okay."
[21:58] * Mani takes out her comm (shielded from Martha's direct view) as she goes.
[21:59] Alathon: Martha: "Hey, Mani, what's up?"
[22:00] * Ken_Yamada looks at Martha, "Those were some nice attacks by the way."
[22:00] * Ken_Yamada says in an effort to distract her.
[22:00] Alathon: the gunshots are pretty much a couple a minute, now, rather than a couple a second.
[22:01] Ken_Yamada: "Kind've a pity you stole my kills back there, still... they were very effective."
[22:01] Mani: "We're going to need to pick the others and their prisoner up. They're to the east. We'll need to hurry."
[22:01] Alathon: Martha pretty much ignores Ken.
[22:01] * Mani glances up and to the east.
[22:02] * Ken_Yamada looks at Mani
[22:02] Alathon: Martha: "Prisoners, huh?"
[22:02] Alathon: Martha: "Well then, let's go."
[22:02] Ken_Yamada: "Right, I'm on turret-duty again then."
[22:02] Mani: (Are we at the humvee yet?)
[22:03] Alathon: how fast are you going?
[22:03] Alathon: i.e. normal best speed, or Speed speed
[22:04] Ken_Yamada: (She said to hurry, so I guess best speed for me and Enigma.)
[22:04] Mani: (At speed speed. If need be, we can pick up Ken.)
[22:04] Mani: (Once we're rolling.)
[22:04] Alathon: okay.. you, Kuonji, and Martha will reach the humvee, get it going, and go back to pick up Ken.
[22:05] * Ken_Yamada climbs up to and sits in the turret once they arrive
[22:07] * Mani scans the sign for anything to follow.
[22:08] Mani: sign = sky
[22:08] Reis: (Conveniently enough...)
[22:08] Alathon: anyways..
[22:08] Alathon: roll 1d20
[22:08] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{5}
[22:08] Ken_Yamada: (Spot roll Al?)
[22:08] Alathon: along the way, you'll get trouble from a couple singleton texans.
[22:09] Alathon: who die quickly and without incident
[22:09] Alathon: you'll also run across a couple groups of half a dozen or more Riders, one of which flags Martha down. SHe stops.
[22:09] Alathon: Rider, grinning: "So, how many'd ya get?"
[22:09] Mani: "We can't wait if we want the prisoner to be alive."
[22:09] Alathon: Martha: "Big ones or little ones?"
[22:10] Alathon: Martha looks back, slightly annoyed, then looks over.
[22:10] Mani: "And she sounds like an important one."
[22:10] Sheena: (if you get a move on you get a very big one)
[22:10] Alathon: Martha: "Have to do my bragging later, I'm afraid.. doing a prisoner pickup."
[22:10] Alathon: Martha puts the humvee in gear without waiting for a reply.
[22:11] Sheena: (im thinking of the riders tailgateing now like after a sports game)
[22:12] Alathon: anyways.. after a good twenty minutes of searching, circling, and peering through thinning smoke, you'll spot Sheena and Reis.
[22:12] Sheena: (what happened to me capping a shot off? could do it more if needed)
[22:12] Ken_Yamada: "There they are..."
[22:13] Mani: (Yeah, was under the impression they were going to send up 'flares'.)
[22:13] Alathon: you'd have to do more
[22:14] Alathon: and th at's still mean at least 10 minutes worth
[22:14] Alathon: keep in mind the sheer distance you all traveled
[22:14] Alathon: you were going 4400+ feet per round
[22:14] Sheena: (right)
[22:14] Alathon: and driving the hummer around a battlefield is slow work ;p
[22:14] Reis: (Heh, indeed. We frigging blew past anything and everything)
[22:14] Sheena: (all thoes bodies, wait.. why are you going around them? *splat splat splat*
[22:15] Mani: (Who said we were. ;) )
[22:15] Mani: (The burned out trucks, on the other hand...)
[22:15] Ken_Yamada: (Because this isn't Carmageddon. :P)
[22:15] Alathon: anyways.. assuming she's shooting off flares, you'll get there in 10 minutes
[22:16] * Mani quickly checks on the prisoner.
[22:17] * Sheena waves them down
[22:17] Alathon: The prisoner is a woman of maybe thirty-some years, human in appearance.
[22:17] Alathon: She's wearing some sort of badly scorched clothing which feels vaguely plasticly.
[22:17] Alathon: she's inches from death.
[22:17] Ken_Yamada: "Yo. Bagged one huh." he says once they've driven up
[22:18] Mani: (Is she bound and gagged?)
[22:18] Reis: (Yep)
[22:18] * Kuonji growls in abyssal to Sheena
[22:18] Alathon: One arm and One leg each are utteryl mangled, her arm (left) having multiple compound fractures.
[22:18] Sheena: (my binds,)
[22:18] * Ken_Yamada looks at Reis and Sheena
[22:18] Ken_Yamada: "You two alright?"
[22:18] Sheena: "Of corse."
[22:18] * Mani takes out her crystal and heals her.
[22:18] * Reis nods slightly. "Tired... Might not be able to fight any further... But, okay for now."
[22:18] * Ken_Yamada nods, "Had to ask, but good to hear all the same.
[22:18] Sheena: "Carefull mani, she's really strong.Don't let her wake up"
[22:19] Sheena: "I had to slam her into the ground at full speed to finsh the fight,"
[22:19] * Ken_Yamada looks at the prisoner.
[22:19] Alathon: Martha: "She sure as hell doesn't look like she's getting up any time soon.."
[22:19] Kuonji: "Hmm, I may have something for that, if necessary."
[22:19] Alathon: Martha looks over at Kuonji.
[22:19] * Ken_Yamada whistles...
[22:19] Alathon: Martha: "But.. better safe than sorry."
[22:19] Mani: "Sounds good, Sakura."
[22:19] Ken_Yamada: "Wait... You did that from how high exactly?"
[22:20] Sheena: "umm.."
[22:20] * Sheena ponders
[22:20] Reis: "Um... Two miles?"
[22:20] Ken_Yamada: "....."
[22:20] * Kuonji nods and reaches into his frizzy pink afro
[22:20] Reis: "Maybe more."
[22:20] Sheena: " 2 or 3 miles"
[22:20] Kuonji: (holy shit, I'm Nabeshin XD)
[22:20] Alathon: Martha's eyes widen slightly.
[22:20] Ken_Yamada: "Right... Don't wake her up indeed."
[22:20] * Mani glances at Sheena.
[22:20] Alathon: ((at the miles comment))
[22:20] * Kuonji pulls out a corked vial
[22:20] Alathon: hm
[22:20] Reis: (Yeah, that '107' was her damage I think.)
[22:20] Alathon: Mani, what're you focusing the healing on?
[22:20] Reis: (And she's still ALIVE!)
[22:21] Mani: (I'm sorry, I don't understand the question.)
[22:21] Ken_Yamada: "You really begin to question mortality when someone survives something like that," he mutters whith a shocked/horrified expression
[22:21] Alathon: oh
[22:21] Alathon: hm
[22:21] Mani: "Does she need her hands and mouth free to use her powers or are they innate?"
[22:21] Kuonji: (I assume giving her the sedative won't kill her in this condition, right?)
[22:21] Alathon: do you want her leg fixed up some, or her arm?
[22:21]

[Alathon]

Session 42 - part 2

[22:21] Alathon: do you want her leg fixed up some, or her arm?
[22:21] Reis: (Dunno. Was she talking or gesturing?)
[22:21] Alathon: since they're both obviously badly damaged/
[22:21] Sheena: "No idea, but keep her bound'
[22:21] Alathon: or just spots where she's bleeding, or..?
[22:22] Alathon: you have some discretion over which of her crippling injuries are healed, if any
[22:22] Sheena: "This isn't the kinda person we can handle, the boss needs to know about this right away"
[22:22] Ken_Yamada: "So... any idea what her problem was?"
[22:22] Mani: (I wasn't aware the power was something that could/needed to be directed.)
[22:22] * Ken_Yamada addresses this to Reis
[22:22] Alathon: hm
[22:22] Alathon: I dunno, lemme check,t hat's how I'd always imagined it
[22:22] Sheena: "Hells i do it right now"
[22:23] * Sheena gets out her com not careing of Martha see's it and tpys off a message to send off
[22:23] Alathon: Martha watches, apparently curious.
[22:23] Alathon: Splitting her attention between Sheena and the captive.
[22:24] Kuonji: "So what's the word taichou, do I dose her?"
[22:24] Alathon: okay
[22:24] Alathon: I guess all her injuries just get a bit better, and stop bleeding
[22:24] Alathon: she's still gimped as hell and not walking anywhere anytime soon.. or crawling anywhere ;p
[22:24] Ken_Yamada: (Basically, she's stabilised)
[22:24] Reis: "With what, Sakura-san?"
[22:25] * Ken_Yamada looks at Sakura quizzicly, "Yeah, I'd like to know as well."
[22:25] Mani: "Mm, what does it do and how much do you have?"
[22:26] Kuonji: "It's a sedative meant to be administered orally. It'll keep her under. I've got about 6 doses of it."
[22:26] Mani: "Duration?"
[22:26] * Ken_Yamada ponders...
[22:26] Mani: "And how long does it need to take effect?"
[22:27] Ken_Yamada: "Are you sure it'll work? I mean... if what sheena said earlier is any indication, she's pretty damn tough... There's nothing to say her metabolism or immune system aren't as well."
[22:27] * Sheena sends the message puts her com away
[22:27] Ken_Yamada: "Would giving her a double-dose be a bad idea?"
[22:28] Alathon: Martha: "That's certainly possible.. we tend to shake off poisons rather easily. Us Riders, that is."
[22:28] Alathon: Martha: "Wouldn't be terribly surprising if one of them could too."
[22:28] Kuonji: (hang on, phone)
[22:30] Kuonji: "Well... There I could soften her up a bit first."
[22:30] Sheena: "I sent the boss a message,"
[22:30] Kuonji: (-There)
[22:31] * Ken_Yamada smirks
[22:31] * Reis frowns. "The problem is... That would endanger whether she survives at all."
[22:31] Mani: (Mani asked some questions about the sedative.)
[22:31] Sheena: "Any way, Lets grab her and get going if she is stable"
[22:31] Alathon: Martha: "I suppose how ruthless you're willing to be, is only limited by what position you want to take, interrogation wise."
[22:31] Ken_Yamada: "Heh, she looks pretty soft to me."
[22:31] Alathon: Martha: "If you've done something.. permanent.. to disable her, it may be somewhat harder to extract information."
[22:31] Alathon: Martha looks over to Ken.
[22:31] Alathon: Martha: "Oh, why? Because she's a woman?"
[22:31] * Sheena snorts
[22:32] Alathon: Martha: "Funny, that wasn't the impression I got from Sheena or Reis."
[22:32] * Reis just STARES at Ken.
[22:32] Ken_Yamada: "Nah, because Sheena pounded her hard."
[22:32] Sheena: "I wonder how soft you would be ken, if i just slamed you head first into the ground at 500 miles an hour"
[22:32] * Reis walks up to Ken and pokes him in the chest. "She survived a fall from nearly ORBIT."
[22:32] Ken_Yamada: "Anyone who falls that far that fast has to have a hell of a bruise."
[22:32] Reis: "She is still alive."
[22:32] * Ken_Yamada shrugs.
[22:32] Kuonji: "I can basically seriously hurt her endurance."
[22:32] Reis: "Nobody like that is 'soft'."
[22:32] Kuonji: "It's not exactly permanent, but it'd certainly prevent her from shaking of the sedatives."
[22:33] Sheena: "Chew out ken in the ride, lets get out of here!
[22:33] Mani: (It's kind of hard to make a decision without Sakura answering her questions...)
[22:33] * Sheena is tired and getting upset
[22:33] Ken_Yamada: "Meh, they usually are at the point of impact."
[22:33] * Reis nods and turns away from Ken. "The problem is... It might prevent her from surviving at all."
[22:33] Kuonji: (what was the question?)
[22:33] Ken_Yamada: "And yeah, chew me out later..."
[22:33] Mani: (Duration and time to take effect.)
[22:34] Kuonji: "It'll kick in after about 10 minutes, and will last for twelve hours or more."
[22:34] Kuonji: "A double dose would be a bad idea though."
[22:34] * Ken_Yamada nods
[22:35] Mani: "Let's hold off for now. And let's get out of here."
[22:35] Ken_Yamada: "It was just a suggestion... I don't know anything about drugs or poisons afterall."
[22:35] Kuonji: "Right."
[22:36] Mani: (I'm not good for much longer.)
[22:37] * Sheena is starting to slump on her staff a bit
[22:37] * Mani helps load the woman into the humvee.
[22:37] * Reis helps Sheena.
[22:38] * Ken_Yamada gets into the turret, and dismisses Enigma.
[22:38] Alathon: ((you know, those bindings shouldn't last forever))
[22:38] Alathon: ((SHeena's that is))
[22:38] * Reis will be supporting Sheena if she accepts the help.
[22:38] Alathon: Martha: "I'm thinking we should restrain her justa little bit more."
[22:38] * Reis idly points Swordbreaker at the woman and tosses off an Alt Forst.
[22:39] Reis: (Still had a bit in me ;) )
[22:39] Sheena: "Yes, please do"
[22:39] Ken_Yamada: (Would holding her telekinetically be just as effective?)
[22:39] Sheena: "I can't hold thoes binds up much longer"
[22:39] Mani: "Are you good at restraints, Sakura?"
[22:39] Alathon: Martha is a little surprised.
[22:39] Ken_Yamada: (nm)
[22:39] Alathon: Martha: "Just how tough are those, Reis?"
[22:39] Reis: (Don't worry, I just bound her :P )
[22:39] Mani: (What, with the permanent one?)
[22:39] Kuonji: "I'm a little rusty."
[22:39] Alathon: She's now wrapped in a whole bunch of what look like tree roots.
[22:40] * Reis shrugs. "Unless they're burnt or cut, I've never managed to destroy them."
[22:40] * Mani gives the woman a dubious look.
[22:40] Kuonji: "Though the issue appears to be moot."
[22:40] Ken_Yamada: "Get some rest you two, you've earned it."
[22:40] Sheena: "Damn.. if she wakes up she's gona be pissed"
[22:40] * Ken_Yamada addresses this to Sheena and Reis.
[22:40] Alathon: ((she was in the car when reis said she did that, so no, she's not stuck to the grond))
[22:40] * Reis recompresses Swordbreaker back down to her cross and continues supporting Sheena.
[22:40] Mani: "Not going to be much fun when we need to unbind her... Effective, though."
[22:40] * Kuonji says something in abyssal
[22:40] * Sheena gets a seat and leans on reis
[22:40] Alathon: Martha, to Mani: "I'll take your word for it."
[22:40] * Reis blinks and looks at Sheena. "Pissed, senpai?"
[22:41] Ken_Yamada: "Eh, Enigma's good with stuff like that."
[22:41] Alathon: By now, most of the smoke has blown away.. except for where it's rising from burning vehicles.
[22:41] Sheena: "Ya, she hates thoes things
[22:41] Alathon: The vast, vast majority of the burning vehicles appear to be Texan, at least in general shape.
[22:41] Mani: "You said she has friends coming, Sheena?"
[22:41] Alathon: It's been..hm... probably 20 minutes since the fight with her, btw
[22:42] Sheena: "Thats what she said, it might have been just a taunt, but lets move fast any way"
[22:42] Reis: (Right. Drivedrivedrive!)
[22:42] Alathon: Martha: "Move fast where?"
[22:42] * Ken_Yamada looks at the surroundings as they drive by, "Looks like the Riders really gave it to them."
[22:42] Mani: "She was working with the Texans, yes?"
[22:42] Alathon: Martha: "It'll be at least a couple hours before the platoon gets sorted out."
[22:42] Sheena: "I belive so, then we should rejoin the platoon?"
[22:42] Ken_Yamada: ^Walk
[22:43] * Reis frowns. "We _think_ so. She wasn't on our side, and she was shooting into the battle."
[22:43] Sheena: "Me and ries cna't handle another magic fight so soon"
[22:43] * Reis nods. "I have about two or three more spells in me, and that's it."
[22:43] Ken_Yamada: (Actually retcon that whole bit... ><)
[22:44] Mani: "Mm. So we may be attacked by a group of powerful people."
[22:44] Mani: "Let's rejoin the platoon and let (whatshisname) know."
[22:44] Kuonji: "Lovely."
[22:44] Sheena: "I let the boss know that to, "
[22:44] * Sheena yawns
[22:44] Alathon: Martha is slowly driving the humvee to the west, peering through the windshield, looking for something.
[22:44] Alathon: Lysle
[22:45] * Ken_Yamada keeps a lookout for any hostiles that might be around.
[22:45] Ken_Yamada: (What time is it now anyway?)
[22:45] Alathon: ((mid-afternoon, if I recall))
[22:45] Ken_Yamada: (Okay)
[22:46] Alathon: Martha: "Alright.. guessed right. We've got a camp setting up on the western edge."
[22:47] Alathon: Martha: "Once that's set up, hmm."
[22:47] Mani: "We'll need to be ready for an attack."
[22:47] Alathon: Martha: "If we have credible reason to expect another attack, we need to get on the move, regardless of the state of the platoon."
[22:47] * Sheena yawns again as she leans on reis
[22:47] Sheena: "Right,"
[22:47] Alathon: Martha: "We'll need at least a couple hours before that, however, to get everyone accounted for, and dig out anyone who isn't."
[22:48] * Reis reddens, but enjoys the contact.
[22:48] * Reis covers her mouth as she yawns herself.
[22:48] Alathon: She'll slowly drive the humvee into a small collection of vehicles. lOoking around.. there's a lot of work being done on bikes and humvees/bradlees, but oddly.. no wounded.
[22:48] * Ken_Yamada continues to ride in the turret... all alone, with only the wind to keep him company. ;P
[22:49] Mani: (Until Sakura reaches up and gives him a little boost. Then he has only the ground to keep him company.)
[22:49] Alathon: End here
[22:50] Kuonji: damn
[22:50] *** Kuonji is now known as Ataru.
[22:50] Sheena: weeee
[22:50] Ataru: ;_;
[22:50] Sheena: was fun
[22:50] Sheena: but damn that girl had an insane shield
[22:50] *** Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf.
[22:50] *** Sheena is now known as DCG.
[22:50] *** Ken_Yamada is now known as Rockman_Zero.
[22:50] Ataru: I'm currently trying to think of ways to kill ken and make it look like an accident
[22:50] * Rockman_Zero sighs...
[22:50] DCG: It took that drop from orbit just to break it!
[22:50] Pale_Wolf: Yeah... That was like THIRTY points of armour. Or maybe 40.
[22:50] Mani: Told you one of you should get a special attack that was lots of ranks of shield penetratioin.
[22:51] Alathon: it wasn't Signum's 'panzergeist', but something along those lines
[22:51] Pale_Wolf: Nope, it was Armour, not FF.
[22:51] * Rockman_Zero totally sucked at RP today.
[22:51] Pale_Wolf: Wasn't breaking.
[22:51] Mani: And/or combination attack. :)
[22:51] *** Mani is now known as Yarrow.
[22:51] Pale_Wolf: Sheens still needs to get that before we can :P
[22:51] Pale_Wolf: I have combo attack, but no friends! ;_;
[22:52] Ataru: question: are Ken and Reis still on their evaluation periods?
[22:52] DCG: ya that was a time for a combo attack if ther every was one.
[22:52] * Rockman_Zero does sort of wonder what the point of his character again...
[22:52] Yarrow: To annoy Sakura?
[22:52] Rockman_Zero: And Ataru I was about to ask the same.
[22:52] Pale_Wolf: We could've tried the chapter 12 version of it, actually.
[22:52] Pale_Wolf: Wouldn't have been AS pwnzage, but it would've seriously busted her up.
[22:54] DCG: gah
[22:55] DCG: I should have never showed al that pic of sheen'a next setup
[22:55] DCG: it gave him ideas
[22:55] Pale_Wolf: Heh.
[22:55] *** Rockman_Zero has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[22:56] Ataru: I'm still pissed I can't do what I want to do to him

[22:57] DCG: plant
[22:57] DCG: bah
[22:58] Ataru: but dosing him, stripping him, and hogtieing him from a tree would have been funny ;_;
[22:58] Yarrow: Not really.
[22:59] Pale_Wolf: Ah, xp?
[23:00] Ataru: if you don't think that's funny, you don't have a sense of humor

[18:55] Alathon: okay everyone, init
[18:55] Reis: roll 1d20+6
[18:55] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{10}
[18:55] Alathon: roll 1d20+9 ???
[18:56] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+9 ??? --> [ 1d20=16 ]{25}
[18:56] Sheena: Roll 1d20+4
[18:56] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{11}
[18:56] Sheena: (fraging init)
[18:56] Reis: (This might hurt. I still never got around to activating my +dex)
[18:56] Reis: (Unless I had a spare moment? ^_^ )
[18:56] Alathon: fight order is ???, Sheena, Reis
[18:56] Alathon: Currently your target is glowing blue, and moving rapidly upwards
[18:57] Alathon: Both of you can tell that you can catch her at this point, though it'll take another round to get close
[18:57] Alathon: She flies up
[18:57] Reis: (What's the range now?)
[18:57] Sheena: (can fire while moving)
[18:58] Alathon: range now is a bit over a mile
[18:58] Alathon: say, 6000 ft
[18:58] Sheena: (heading for orbit?)
[18:59] Alathon: maybe, you dunno
[19:00] * Sheena will keep chase and fire when she can
[19:00] Alathon: Okay.. Reis?
[19:01] Alathon: Sheena, unless the target does something, you'll be in range for your long range attacks next round
[19:02] * Reis braces all four of herselves and hops to the target.
[19:03] Alathon: You end up around 800 feet short of it.
[19:03] Reis: (Do I have a good view of her now?)
[19:05] Alathon: still have enhanced sight active?
[19:05] Reis: "Achtung, Hexe!"
[19:05] Reis: (Yep)
[19:06] Reis: <Alathon> okay
[19:06] Reis: <Alathon> end of round, top of the order
[19:06] Reis: <Alathon> and yeah, you can both make her out clearly at this range
[19:07] Alathon: [19:06] Alathon: end of round, top of the order
[19:06] Alathon: and yeah, you can both make her out clearly at this range
[19:06] Reis: Wrong window :P
[19:07] Alathon: looks to be a human woman, mid-thirties, wearing some kind of outfit that is at this point rather badly scorched
[19:08] Sheena: (scorched is one way to put it, wonder how many on the ground shit themselfs from that magic orgy above them)
[19:08] Alathon: Below her is a spinning triangular magical field of some sort, with spherical fields on each corner
[19:10] Sheena: (great)
[19:10] Reis: (Which means she's stopping to tank, apparently)
[19:10] Alathon: that is, in fact, exactly what she's doing
[19:11] Reis: (Lets hope my projections deflect all the pain. I didn't have a chance to put up my +dex)
[19:11] Alathon: She bursts into what look like thin, blue-white flames, which engulf her entirely.
[19:12] * Sheena just blinks at that as she watchs the magic
[19:12] Sheena: Roll 1d20+6 anyclue?
[19:12] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+6 anyclue? --> [ 1d20=20 ]{26}
[19:12] Sheena: (*beats head on desk for wasting a crit)
[19:12] Reis: roll 1d20+13 Knowledge Arcane
[19:12] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+13 Knowledge Arcane --> [ 1d20=17 ]{30}
[19:13] Reis: (Hey, it could give you all the weaknesses of the system if Dark Heart tells you or something)
[19:15] * Sheena gets in speaking range of rei.
[19:15] Sheena: "Dark heart, What the hell's a Velkan system doing on this planet?"
[19:16] Reis: (Wait, you recognized the whole thing? Heh)
[19:16] Sheena: (sheena did study it when making her cartrage system... fuck that means she's got them to)
[19:16] Alathon: anyways, Sheena, you're up
[19:16] Reis: (... Oh whee)
[19:17] Sheena: "Surender or die!"
[19:17] Sheena: Dark heart: Axel shooter.
[19:17] Sheena: Roll 1d20+20
[19:17] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{23}
[19:17] Reis: (Whoo, upgrade?)
[19:17] Sheena: Roll 1d20+15
[19:17] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{29}
[19:17] Sheena: Roll 1d20+10
[19:18] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{29}
[19:18] Sheena: (ya al smacked me around for being dum and not useing flurry)
[19:18] Reis: (Well, I was talking about the name, though the three-attacks-in-a-round is sweet too)
[19:19] Alathon: Eight pulses of energy, twice as many as Sheena used to fire, launch themselves at the target.
[19:19] Alathon: er, twelve rather
[19:19] Alathon: so three times as many
[19:19] Alathon: Reis, you're up
[19:19] * Reis blinks in surprise. "Nice, senpai!"
[19:19] * Reis flies at a more 'sane' speed this time, all four of her closing in to range and pointing at the target, Swordbreaker uttering 'Alt Forst'.
[19:19] Reis: roll 1d20+26
[19:19] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{44}
[19:22] Alathon: sorry
[19:23] Alathon: roll 1d20+16 dodge
[19:23] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+16 dodge --> [ 1d20=16 ]{32}
[19:23] Reis: (Nyahahahahah, trapped!)
[19:23] Alathon: Roots come out of nowhere and wrap all around her
[19:23] Alathon: She starts to slowly sink.. probably due to the weight
[19:24] Sheena: (I have to have figered defence wrong if my dodge is so slow)
[19:26] Alathon: no, you just have shit dex, ant shit int, so shit skill points, and hence poor dodge
[19:26] Alathon: anyways
[19:26] Reis: The Reises slip into a dancing pattern around the pinned woman, wondering how she'll react now.
[19:27] Alathon: roll damage, sheena
[19:27] Sheena: (magic girls can shorted on skill points any way)
[19:27] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled damage, sheena --> error: malformed expression
[19:27] Sheena: Roll 4d8+4 fp
[19:27] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 4d8+4 fp --> [ 4d8=21 ]{25}
[19:27] Sheena: Roll 4d8+4 fp
[19:27] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 4d8+4 fp --> [ 4d8=27 ]{31}
[19:27] Alathon: third one?
[19:27] Sheena: (hows she look? can sheena stop the last shots if she's fainted/outcold? )
[19:28] Alathon: you'd have to have announced that ahead of time
[19:28] Alathon: and chosen not to fire them
[19:28] Sheena: ( "Surender or die!"?)
[19:28] Sheena: Roll 4d8+4 fp
[19:28] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 4d8+4 fp --> [ 4d8=19 ]{23}
[19:29] Reis: (Well... She'll _probably_ survive if she's reduced below zero HP...)
[19:29] Sheena: (sheens' got a lot of questions,)
[19:29] Alathon: All twelve of the energy bolts slam into her, making a terrific explosion.. and apparently not penetrating whatever she's got.
[19:29] Reis: (As does Reis, thus the bind :P )
[19:29] Sheena: (they have FP!)
[19:30] Alathon: yes, they do
[19:30] Alathon: Now that you're fairly close, you can see she's a good bit scorched.. just how hurting is hard to say
[19:31] Alathon: She's struggling.. but not having much luck breaking the bonds.
[19:31] Alathon: she's still falling.. now at an increasing clip
[19:32] Alathon: Sheena, you're up
[19:32] * Sheena replaces her spreading clip with AP
[19:33] Sheena: "Lets try two ap rounds dark heart"
[19:33] * Sheena lets two shells load then fires at the women
[19:33] Sheena: Roll 1d20+24
[19:33] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+24 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{26}
[19:33] Sheena: (shesh, fragging dice)
[19:33] Alathon: You hit, she's not dodging
[19:34] Sheena: Roll 8d8+4 2ap
[19:34] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 8d8+4 2ap --> [ 8d8=40 ]{44}
[19:35] Alathon: Your column of black energy covers her
[19:35] Alathon: and when it's through, she looks noticeably worse for wear.
[19:35] Alathon: and the roots that were holding her are now ash
[19:35] Alathon: Reis is up.. if she's here
[19:35] Reis: (Wait, it was fire?)
[19:35] Reis: (Can't they only be broken by fire and cutting?)
[19:35] Reis: (;_; )
[19:36] Sheena: (what i figered, tho sheena's not even sure how her stuff's changing)
[19:36] Alathon: fire is heat, energy attacks generate heat
[19:36] * Reis descends to keep pace, and renews the bind. "Senpai, let's wait a bit... She won't be in any shape to ask anything if she we do much more of this."
[19:37] Reis: (Popping in and out)
[19:37] Sheena: "We just need to make sure she under stands that a friendly chat is the way to go"
[19:39] Alathon: so, does Reis do anything?
[19:39] Sheena: (said renews the bind but didnt roll)
[19:39] Alathon: oh
[19:39] Alathon: okay, roll it up
[19:39] Reis: roll 1d20+26
[19:39] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{43}
[19:40] Alathon: She sees it coming,a nd tries to respond with something..
[19:40] Alathon: roll 1d20+30
[19:40] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{45}
[19:40] Reis: (... Dammit)
[19:40] Alathon: and actually manages to succeed.
[19:41] Alathon: She blurs for a moment, then seems to streak up and back, leaving afterimages behind her.
[19:41] Sheena: (+30 hey thats my move! And it sure as hell isnt pluse 30!)
[19:42] Alathon: true
[19:42] Alathon: anyways, top of hte order
[19:42] Alathon: if you want, I'll share out her char sheet once she's dead or no longer relevant to the story ;p
[19:42] Reis: (Heh)
[19:43] Alathon: She rockets upward as fast as she was going before.. blue-green light spins under her, more green this time.
[19:43] Sheena: (does she still have her fire barrier?)
[19:43] Alathon: Nothing else happens.
[19:43] Alathon: Yes
[19:45] Sheena: "Not far enought!"
[19:45] * Sheena laods one ap with each shot
[19:45] Sheena: ROll 1d20+25
[19:45] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{42}
[19:45] Sheena: ROll 1d20+19
[19:45] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{27}
[19:46] Reis: (At least now we know the Obsidian Buster shreds my binds...)
[19:47] Alathon: roll 1d20+18
[19:47] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{21}
[19:47] Alathon: roll 1d20+16
[19:47] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{30}
[19:47] Sheena: Roll 8d8+4 ap
[19:47] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 8d8+4 ap --> [ 8d8=37 ]{41}
[19:47] Alathon: she gets hammered by the first one, but evades the second one.
[19:47] Alathon: reis is up
[19:47] * Reis simply waves a hand as she flies up after the woman. And all sounds in the area around her cease.
[19:48] Sheena: (you took silince?)
[19:48] Reis: (Yep ^_^ )
[19:48] Reis: (Ever since that guy pwnt us with silence/bind, I've been looking to turn it back on them)
[19:48] Alathon: power use roll
[19:48] Alathon: wait a sec
[19:48] Reis: (Damn, I actually have to roll a to-hit?)
[19:48] Alathon: you're not in range
[19:49] Alathon: no to-hit, just a roll to see how good your use is
[19:49] Reis: (... I'm not? ;_; )
[19:49] Alathon: she flew straight up and back
[19:49] Alathon: she's roughly 900 feet away
[19:49] Reis: (Right... just an Alt Forst then)
[19:49] Reis: roll 1d20+26
[19:49] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{46}
[19:49] Reis: (500 feet away)
[19:49] Alathon: It hits
[19:49] Reis: (I closed at max rate)
[19:49] Alathon: she's wrapped again, and slows down. again
[19:49] Alathon: wait a sec
[19:50] Alathon: is alt forst long ranged?
[19:50] Reis: (Nope, but I was at JUST 500 feet)
[19:50] Reis: (I closed in on her by 400 ft - one tenth of Sheena's max speed)
[19:51] Alathon: okay
[19:51] Alathon: math time
[19:51] Alathon: sigh
[19:51] Reis: (Ow. Sorry ;_; )
[19:52] Alathon: okay.. she was 880 feet away, so you got to around 440 feet away, and were in range
[19:53] Alathon: so.. end of round.
[19:53] Reis: (If I'd have been in range for Silence, that'd be sweet too :P )
[19:53] Alathon: woman: "xxx xxxxx xx!"
[19:53] Reis: (But, Alt Forst it is)
[19:53] Reis: (Darn, Was hoping she'd speak German)
[19:54] * Reis frowns. "Senpai... What's she saying?"
[19:54] Reis: (Huh. Maybe the 'Surrender or die' should've been in Abyssal)
[19:55] * Sheena smirks, "you pissed her off"
[19:55] Reis: "Senpai... Do you think she understood your demand?"
[19:55] * Sheena yells out "xxxxx xxx xx xx xxx xxxx!"
[19:58] Alathon: She quiets down for a moment..s he's still falling, so she's getting closer.
[19:58] Reis: "Senpai... What did you say?"
[19:58] Sheena: "xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx!"
[19:58] Alathon: She then laughs shortly.
[19:58] Reis: (Probably best to go for Axel Shooter this time, not melt off the 'she be helpless' bit)
[19:58] Alathon: And spits out somethign in Abyssal
[19:59] Reis: (Was kinda hoping she'd respond to me swearing at her in German, given that she's a Velka-user :P )
[20:02] * Sheena says more in abyssl and then switchs to japanese "She's a bit pissed at you and making threats,"
[20:02] Alathon: She responds in abyssal.. it sounds threatening as well.
[20:02] * Reis blinks. "What kind of threats?"
[20:02] Alathon: She's quite close now, though you can get further away if you want.
[20:03] Alathon: and falling fairly fast.
[20:03] Alathon: Her eyes are moving around rapidly, looking for something.
[20:03] Reis: (Is it our turn again?)
[20:03] Reis: (I'll shut her up if I have a move.)
[20:04] Alathon: Sheena's up
[20:04] Alathon: you can re-enter combat time when you want
[20:04] * Sheena switchs Dark heart to normal mode to start saving engery
[20:04] Alathon: actually, either of you can
[20:04] Sheena: Dark heart: Protection
[20:04] Sheena: (go ahead reis,)
[20:04] Alathon: Woman: "xxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxx!"
[20:04] Sheena: "There's more coming, finsh her quick!"
[20:05] Reis: "Seien sie ruhig," Reis comments as she waves her hand.
[20:05] Reis: (Just a German comment: "Shut up.")
[20:05] Alathon: She's falling pretty fast now.. unfortunately for her, while her flame shield is still up, it apparently isn't "flame" enough to actually burn through the Alt Forst
[20:05] Reis: roll 1d20+9 Power Use
[20:05] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+9 Power Use --> [ 1d20=6 ]{15}
[20:06] Sheena: (you should have attacked)
[20:06] Alathon: You succeed in silencing the space.. she was falling through.
[20:06] Reis: (... Dammit)
[20:06] Reis: (I can't focus it on her?)
[20:06] Alathon: you can target a space with it, not a moving target
[20:06] Sheena: (its area silince, isnt it?)
[20:07] Reis: (Damn. Wish I'd known that ahead of time)
[20:09] Alathon: we discussed that a few months back, when you got the power, but I don't blame you for forgetting it ;p
[20:09] * Sheena loads two more ap and fires another volloy
[20:09] Sheena: Roll 1d20+20
[20:09] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{38}
[20:09] Sheena: Roll 1d20+15
[20:09] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{23}
[20:09] Reis: (Heh, oopsie)
[20:09] Sheena: Roll 1d20+10
[20:09] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{30}
[20:10] Reis: (Any penalty to maneuver around and-not-destroy the binds?)
[20:10] Sheena: (they didnt last time0
[20:11] Alathon: they won't, they're not spreading or AE
[20:11] Alathon: or a botch
[20:11] Alathon: Reis is up
[20:11] Sheena: (still alive? even tho i didnt roll damage?)
[20:11] Alathon: well
[20:11] * Reis frowns at Sheena's 'more' comment and triggers another spell on herself.
[20:11] Alathon: your energy bolts don't get there until the end of the round
[20:11] Sheena: (oh duh)
[20:12] Sheena: (as a side note your evil Al,)
[20:12] Alathon: anyways.. roll your damage now, Reis went
[20:12] * Reis is still following the woman's fall.
[20:12] Sheena: Roll 4d8+4 ap

[20:12] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 4d8+4 ap --> [ 4d8=18 ]{22}
[20:12] Sheena: Roll 8d8+8
[20:12] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 8d8+8 --> [ 8d8=36 ]{44}
[20:13] Alathon: The first energy bolt splashes against the shield.. the second looks like it barely penetrates. The third one cuts into her.. she looks like she's in some serious pain.
[20:13] * Sheena lets the volly fly and takes a moment to catch her breath,
[20:13] Sheena: (counting the ap?)
[20:13] Sheena: (shesh)
[20:13] Alathon: counting two ranks of AP
[20:13] Reis: (Well, it's AP, not FP)
[20:14] Sheena: ( i switched to AP, when FP didnt work)
[20:14] Sheena: (why i took a turn to get out of shooting mode)
[20:17] Alathon: anyways, reis is up.. the woman isn't doing anything
[20:17] Alathon: er
[20:18] Alathon: sheena's up actually
[20:18] Alathon: top o the round
[20:18] Reis: (Might wanna let the fall smack her around too. She's coming from frigging ORBIT)
[20:19] * Sheena starts flying after the falling target and lets lose again
[20:19] Sheena: Roll 1d20+20
[20:19] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{31}

[20:19] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 4d8+4 ap --> [ 4d8=14 ]{18}
[20:19] Sheena: Roll 4d8+4 ap
[20:19] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 4d8+4 ap --> [ 4d8=20 ]{24}
[20:19] Sheena: "Any time you want to finshs this reis feel free!"
[20:20] Alathon: two cartridges again?
[20:20] Alathon: your second bolt of energy penetrates, but not by much.
[20:20] Sheena: (how much of a ponding is that sheild going to take?)
[20:21] *** Reis has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[20:21] Alathon: you don't know, other than that it's apparently wicked powerful
[20:22] *** Reis has joined #CT2.
[20:22] Reis: * Sheena starts flying after the falling target and lets lose again
[20:22] Reis: <Sheena> Roll 1d20+20

[20:22] Sheena: "xxxx xxx!"
[20:22] Reis: (Blah. What'd I miss?)
[20:22] Sheena: "Fucking fire! Reis finsh her, all ready!"
[20:23] Alathon: Woman: "xxxx xxxx xxxx.. xxxxxx xxx xx xxxxxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxx xxx"
[20:23] * Reis pauses for a moment for translation.
[20:24] Sheena: "Ries finsh this now we are are leaving!"
[20:24] Sheena: "Stop screwing around!"
[20:24] * Reis frowns. "No surrender, hm? Very well." 'Furieriss.'

[20:24] Reis: roll 7d8 AP 1
[20:24] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 7d8 AP 1 --> [ 7d8=31 ]{31}
[20:25] Alathon: Both shots connect.. the first one cuts through the flames and draws blood from one shoulder; the other looks like it tore a hole in the flames, but barely did anything.
[20:25] Reis: (Holy... How much FF does she HAVE?)
[20:25] Alathon: You're all still quite high in the sky at this point.. but she's falling pretty quick now
[20:25] Alathon: OOC, if it was FF it'd be down by now
[20:25] Reis: (Yeah... Was just about to ask that)
[20:26] Reis: (It's a massive Armour boost, isn't it?)
[20:26] Alathon: maybe
[20:26] Alathon: anyways.. sheena, roll your damage
[20:26] Alathon: ohp wait
[20:26] Alathon: she did
[20:27] Alathon: end of round, top of the order
[20:27] Alathon: and yes, if you need to ask, she looks like she's really hurting
[20:28] Sheena: (i can see where this is leading..)
[20:29] * Sheena will follow along the fall but save engery onw as she keeps an eye out for incoming.
[20:29] Alathon: Reis?
[20:29] * Reis follows as well. Maybe slamming into the ground will make her a bit more interested in talk.
[20:29] Reis: (Anything below us, where she's gonna land?)
[20:30] Sheena: (sheena hasnt been yelling at you to finsh it for shits and giggles,
[20:30] Alathon: The battle.. a mess of dust, gunsmoke, and pinprick flashes which are presumably guns
[20:30] Alathon: and what looks to be strokes of lightning here and there
[20:30] Alathon: hmm
[20:30] Reis: (I'm damn low on EP myself.)
[20:30] Alathon: you all were about 2 miles into the air when she got snagged
[20:31] Sheena: (damn shelds going to win a war of atration)
[20:31] Alathon: so.. you've still got a good.. 7 rounds or more before she hits ground
[20:31] Reis: (If the fall kills her, or at least lets us make her helpless and leave her there, it'll be best)
[20:31] Alathon: terminal velocity is 120 mph btw
[20:31] Alathon: so while Sheena can keep up, Reis cannot (in the long run)
[20:32] Alathon: and it's been what.. 2 rounds.. so she achieves like 95% terminal velocity on the 3rd
[20:32] Sheena: (will that kill her?)
[20:32] Alathon: you don't know
[20:32] Alathon: it's a long ass fall, that's for sure
[20:32] * Sheena catchs up to the falling women
[20:32] Alathon: common sense would say, "yes, she'll go splat", however it's worth noting that divers have survived parachute failures from 30,000 feet
[20:33] Alathon: albeit, not in good shape ;p
[20:33] Alathon: and not often
[20:33] Sheena: "Xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx"
[20:34] Alathon: Woman, harshly: "What's it to you?"
[20:34] Alathon: ((er, in abyssal))
[20:35] Alathon: Her eyes flicker down for a moment, then back up to Sheena.
[20:36] Alathon: Woman, "Myshaella"
[20:36] Sheena: (her name? or was that mysheidla)
[20:37] * Reis just guesses this is more abyssal and means nothing.
[20:38] Sheena: "Sheena, Now Myshaella, last chance. Give up and release your device or hit the ground"
[20:39] Sheena: (Planing to give her a 500 mph boost assist to the floor, is that posible?)
[20:39] Alathon: Woman, "xxx xxxxx xxxxxx xxx?"
[20:39] Sheena: (my line was in abyrll)
[20:39] Reis: (Yeah, simpler that way.)
[20:39] Reis: (If she's talking to me, I'll understand, otherwise 'WTF?')
[20:40] Reis: (Rather than popping between windows)
[20:41] Alathon: Okay.. 6 rounds to impact
[20:41] Sheena: (roger)
[20:42] Alathon: and yes, you could grab her and pull her up, though you'd probably wanna do it semi-slowly.. or risk tearing your arms off doing it
[20:42] * Reis continues following, though is probably falling behind at this point.
[20:42] Alathon: keep in mind, you have 120 mph to decelerate
[20:42] Alathon: and you've got 30 seconds left if you want to do it
[20:42] Sheena: (did she answer?)
[20:44] Alathon: Her eyes shift from side to side..
[20:44] Alathon: Woman: "xxxxx"
[20:44] Sheena: "Roger that"
[20:44] * Sheena will give her a 500mph send off to the ground
[20:44] Reis: "Senpai...?"
[20:45] Alathon: You'll get less than that, pushing against wind resistance, but she's going much faster now
[20:46] Alathon: 2 rounds until she hits
[20:46] Reis: (Ah. "Death.")
[20:46] Alathon: and if you don't want to hit yourself.. you'd better pull up
[20:46] Alathon: Woman: "xx xxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxxx!"
[20:46] * Reis heads down and attempts to put a silence field around where she's going to land.
[20:46] Sheena: (what was that?)
[20:48] * Sheena will pull up before its to late, "Xxx xxx xx xxxx!"
[20:48] Alathon: WHAM.
[20:48] Alathon: You can't see her landing clearly in all the smoke, but you can sure as hell hear it
[20:48] Reis: (She land on an Evangelist?)
[20:49] Reis: (And, darn. I couldn't get the silence field up before her landing?)
[20:49] Sheena: "Reis hurry up!"
[20:49] * Sheena heads down to the landing zone
[20:49] Alathon: When you get close, you'll realize the landing zone is kidna.. well.. occupied
[20:50] * Reis is hurrying up.
[20:50] Alathon: by Texans
[20:50] Alathon: anyways.. food break
[20:50] Alathon: we restart on the hour
[20:50] Sheena: (norms, elite?)
[20:50] Sheena: k
[20:50] Reis: ("Ah well. Quellefrost!")
[20:50] Alathon: No way to tell until you get closer, with the smoke clouding the field
[20:51] Reis: (Yo Al? Was I in range to silence the area while she was falling?)
[20:52] Alathon: not a chance
[20:52] Alathon: she was falling at ~370 mph
[20:52] Alathon: and your current speed is what, 100?
[20:52] Alathon: no, 50
[20:52] Alathon: at flight 2
[20:53] Reis: (Damn.)
[20:53] Reis: (Will I get to do it before we can actually see?)
[20:53] Reis: (Reis doesn't want to be greeted by a cannon attack)
[21:03] Alathon: we all ready to roll?
[21:03] Reis: (Yep)
[21:03] Sheena: here
[21:03] Sheena: break my but i was back reading the other room, heh
[21:08] Reis: (We starting, or are the others trying to catch up?)
[21:08] Alathon: starting here
[21:08] Alathon: You all see the root-wrapped woman vanish into the smoke, with a heavy thud following
[21:09] Alathon: Sheena is now close enough to see lots of texans moving around on the ground.. at least, you're pretty sure they are, as they aren't wearing Rider black jackets
[21:09] * Sheena has armor and a shield up, will follow
[21:09] Alathon: alerted by the falling body, some of them will shoot at you
[21:09] * Sheena will stop when shot at
[21:09] * Reis has her speed boost up and is following as well.
[21:09] Alathon: Reis.. at this point you're.. hmm.. roughly 2500 feet in the air
[21:10] Reis: (... I'm a whole mile behind? Darn...)
[21:10] * Sheena pulls a shell out of her top. having all the profe she needs about whos under her.
[21:10] Alathon: a mile would be 5280 feet
[21:10] Reis: (Ah, doh. I was using the numbers for yards :P )
[21:10] Reis: (I despise Imperial units)
[21:12] Alathon: heh
[21:12] Alathon: fair enough
[21:12] Alathon: almost nobody uses em these days
[21:12] Alathon: anyways.. init
[21:12] Sheena: Roll 1d20+4
[21:12] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{15}
[21:12] Reis: (Me too?)
[21:12] Reis: roll 1d20+18
[21:12] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{29}
[21:12] Alathon: roll 1d20+4
[21:12] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{16}
[21:13] Alathon: Reis, Texans, Sheena
[21:13] Reis: (Can Reis see the texans?)
[21:13] Sheena: (how can i multy target? Like rake a buster along the ground?)
[21:14] Alathon: reis can see a lot of smoke, and sheena
[21:14] Alathon: and not much else
[21:14] Reis: (That'd be the Spreading, probably)
[21:14] Sheena: (oh i got that,)
[21:14] * Reis continues down at max pace, then.
[21:15] * Sheena just floats in the air above the texans, the area around her is noticeable darker then the rest of ther sky and getting darker
[21:15] Sheena: (if this dont boost there "holy roller" angle im not sure what will"
[21:15] Sheena: ()
[21:15] Alathon: gonna attack?
[21:16] Alathon: or wait and see what comes?
[21:16] Reis: (Me? Ah, yes)
[21:16] Reis: (End turn. Reis doesn't even know there's an enemy down there)
[21:16] Sheena: (sheena will attack0
[21:17] Alathon: oh *Nod*
[21:17] Alathon: hm
[21:17] Alathon: okay
[21:17] Alathon: roll 12#1d20+7

[21:18] Alathon: roll 2#1d8+2
[21:18] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d8+2 --> [ 1d8=7 ]{9}, [ 1d8=5 ]{7}

[21:18] Alathon: hmm.. rofl.. none of them is strong enough to even drop your shield a rank
[21:18] Alathon: you're up sheena
[21:19] * Sheena aims dark heart at the darknesss gets deeper around her.
[21:19] Sheena: (how can i rake the ground with dark heart?)
[21:20] Alathon: what do you mean?
[21:20] Sheena: (drag the shot along the ground to hit more at once)
[21:21] Sheena: (or is the spreading enought?)
[21:21] Alathon: the spreading is enough
[21:21] Alathon: roll 2d8
[21:21] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2d8 --> [ 2d8=14 ]{14}
[21:21] * Sheena smirks, "Obsiden buster,"
[21:21] Alathon: hmm.. you have one rank of spreading, right?
[21:21] Sheena: (yes0
[21:22] Sheena: (one rank normal, 2 or 3 boosted)
[21:22] Alathon: okay you can hit.. um..7
[21:22] Alathon: did you use a cartridge?
[21:22] Sheena: (no)

[21:22] Sheena: Roll 1d20+20
[21:22] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{33}

[21:23] Alathon: roll 7#1d20+4 dodge
[21:23] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 7#1d20+4 dodge --> [ 1d20=13 ]{17}, [ 1d20=11 ]{15}, [ 1d20=13 ]{17}, [ 1d20=12 ]{16}, [ 1d20=17 ]{21}, [ 1d20=11 ]{15}, [ 1d20=9 ]{13}
[21:23] Alathon: yeah.. no
[21:23] Alathon: damage
[21:24] Sheena: roll 7d8+4
[21:24] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 7d8+4 --> [ 7d8=35 ]{39}
[21:24] Alathon: You launch a wave of purple-black energy at them, when spreads out to consume seven Texan soldiers, leaving nary a trace.
[21:26] Sheena: "Run,"
[21:26] * Sheena says this to the remaining lot
[21:26] Alathon: anyways
[21:26] Alathon: end of round, top of the order
[21:26] Alathon: Reis is up
[21:26] Alathon: you're now at 2060 ft
[21:27] * Reis spotted Sheena getting shot at, and responds with Quellefrost.
[21:27] Reis: roll 1d20+26 pwn the area
[21:27] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+26 pwn the area --> [ 1d20=2 ]{28}

[21:27] Alathon: they all die
[21:28] * Sheena sweat drops at that..
[21:28] Alathon: And that's a little close to Sheena for comfort ;p
[21:28] Reis: (Gah, if it'd have been in range of Sheens, tell me that. Reis would've seen)
[21:28] Sheena: "So.. so much for running,"
[21:28] Sheena: (sheena is fine)
[21:28] Sheena: (err right/)
[21:28] Reis: (They die again six seconds later ;) )
[21:29] Alathon: anyways.. texans are up.. and they're dead
[21:29] Alathon: we're outta combat time now
[21:29] * Reis continues with the rush-to-Sheena once she's done with that and no counterfire comes back.
[21:29] Alathon: so Reis can catch up with sheena in like 30 seconds
[21:29] * Sheena grumbles to herself as she watchs the mana below her boil.
[21:29] Sheena: "Damn it, if she melted that device..."
[21:30] Reis: (Don't worry, wouldn't damage a high-rank IoP)
[21:30] Reis: (It only lasted six second)
[21:30] Sheena: (sheena hasnt exctaly tried to melt dh so she dont know)
[21:30] Reis: (Heh)
[21:31] * Reis arrives, breathless. "You're okay, right senpai?!"
[21:32] * Sheena drops her "im a badass mask" and looks pooped to reis
[21:32] Sheena: "Im getting a bit tired there ries, if any one comes we leave instally, got it? Teleport out as fast as you can"
[21:32] * Reis takes a look at the ground and idly sweeps a silent zone across it.
[21:32] * Reis nods. "Right... I don't have much more either."
[21:32] Sheena: (will you stop doing that!)
[21:33] Reis: (Hey, if someone's alive down there... :P )
[21:33] Sheena: (its screws us just as much)
[21:33] Reis: (Not if we're outside the zone)
[21:33] * Sheena will head down to the velka's body after the manaburn clears
[21:33] Reis: (It only stops a spell from being started... though, I'll pull it off if you go there)
[21:34] * Reis follows, pulling the silence off.
[21:35] Alathon: When you get there, something is immediately obvious -- there's no body.
[21:35] Alathon: though there's a heavy structure of roots embedded through one texan.
[21:35] Alathon: spot
[21:35] Reis: roll 1d20+6
[21:35] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{13}
[21:35] Alathon: and sheena, at a +8
[21:36] Sheena: Roll 1d20+*
[21:36] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+* --> error: malformed expression
[21:36] Sheena: Roll 1d20+8
[21:36] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{26}
[21:36] Reis: (Wow... She DID land on the Evangelist?)
[21:37] Sheena: "This way ries,"
[21:37] * Sheena heads over to the east at the ready
[21:38] * Reis blinks and follows. "She ended up over there, senpai...?"
[21:38] Alathon: There's less gunfire now.. and it's mostly Harleyrider handcannons, rather than the sharp cracks of Texan rifles.
[21:39] Alathon: There don't seem to be any texans right near yout two, though there's some movement off to the south.
[21:39] Alathon: hard to tell in the smoke.
[21:39] Alathon: When you reach her.. she's on her side, with blood coming out of her mouth, and a couple other wounds.
[21:39] * Sheena tracks down the magic she see's
[21:39] * Reis carefully alights nearby, covering Sheena.
[21:40] Sheena: Abyssl: "Its over,"
[21:40] Alathon: No response.
[21:40] * Sheena points dark heart
[21:40] Sheena: (is she dead?)
[21:40] Alathon: She doesn't look terribly conscious.
[21:40] Reis: ("... Dammit. Wasted a dramatic line.")
[21:40] * Sheena looks for the knights device
[21:41] Alathon: You can't tell without getting close enough to check her pulse, or wach her chest for movement
[21:41] * Reis watches her chest.
[21:41] * Sheena moves to see if she is alive
[21:41] Sheena: Dark Heart, can you sense a device on her?
[21:41] Sheena: ""
[21:41] Alathon: Dark Heart: "xx xxx xx xxxxx xx xxxx"
[21:42] * Sheena checks to see if she is dead or just knocked out
[21:43] Alathon: She's breathing, and has a pulse.
[21:43] * Sheena checks for a device on her and looks for the magic
[21:43] Alathon: and is bleeding.. one arm and one legs are at clearly unnatural angles, the arm with bone sticking out.
[21:44] Alathon: And, incidentally, yeah the fire-shield is out
[21:44] Sheena: "Ring..weapon.. something"
[21:44] Alathon: gimme a search roll, +4
[21:44] Sheena: "Reis, look for a device on her"
[21:44] Sheena: Roll 1d20+6
[21:44] * Reis looks. "I'll take my time... Could you keep an eye out, senpai?"
[21:44] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{17}
[21:45] Reis: roll 1d20+10 Search roll, if I can't just take a 20.
[21:45] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+10 Search roll, if I can't just take a 20. --> [ 1d20=1 ]{11}
[21:45] Reis: (... FUCK that)
[21:45] Reis: DR.
[21:45] Reis: (If I have to roll)
[21:46] Alathon: you have to roll
[21:46] * Reis cocks a head and points Sheena to the woman's fingers. "She's wearing a pair of rings here, see?"
[21:46] Reis: (Damn)
[21:46] Alathon: you're still in the middle of a battle, you cannot take 20
[21:46] Reis: roll 1d20+10
[21:46] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{23}
[21:46] Reis: (Tolerable)
[21:46] Sheena: (how are we in battle?)
[21:47] Alathon: ....... I dunno, why don't you lie down and take a nap and see what happens?
[21:47] Sheena: (that may happen)
[21:48] Sheena: "Any thing?"
[21:48] * Reis frowns and drops the woman's hand, looking around the rest. "Nothing but those rings."
[21:48] Sheena: "Right"
[21:49] * Sheena binds her making sure to get gag the mouth and wrists
[21:49] Alathon: Searching her probably doesn't injure her much, but she's still bleeding?
[21:49] Alathon: er, no ?
[21:49] Sheena: (eh? We can't heal!)
[21:49] Reis: "Not sure whether they actually do anything though, senpai - could just be a fashion statement."
[21:49] Alathon: you could try to stabilize her though, that's just a medicine check
[21:49] * Sheena notices her com beed and replys
[21:49] Alathon: er, first aid
[21:50] * Reis tries to stabilize her.
[21:50] Reis: roll 1d20+6
[21:50] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{25}
[21:50] Sheena: "Remove the rings while your doing that"
[21:50] * Sheena answers mani
[21:51] Alathon: As far as you can tell, you succeeded.
[21:51] * Reis stabilizes her first just in case the rings are cursed or something, and nervously takes the rings off, hoping they don't blow her up or anything.
[21:51] Alathon: Though she's still obviously in very, very bad condition.
[21:51] Sheena: "got the rings?"
[21:52] Reis: (Al, tell me if I have any WTFs from touching 'em, otherwise I'm gonna play as if I just got 'em without incident)
[21:52] Alathon: You did
[21:52] Alathon: get them without incident
[21:52] Sheena: Roll 1d20+20 bind
[21:52] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+20 bind --> [ 1d20=18 ]{38}
[21:52] * Reis nods and stands, holding them out on her palm to Sheena. "Should I just put these away?"
[21:53] Alathon: She's bound.
[21:53] * Sheena looks tied after the spell but makes sure to get her good
[21:53] Sheena: "Ok reis give me a hand, we got to get out of here"
[21:54] * Reis nods and drops the rings in a pocket, securing them. "How are we going to do this senpai? Do we want to take her with us to the group, or just leave?"
[21:54] * Reis heads to support Sheena.
[21:54] * Sheena talks into her com for a moment and then with reis help flys off with there captive
[21:54] Alathon: Between the both of you, you realize something.
[21:54] Alathon: Your're both anemic and pathetically weak physically
[21:55] Sheena: (rofl)
[21:55] Reis: (I'm not... pathetic. Just kinda less-than-impressive...)
[21:55] Alathon: okay sheena is pathetic, you're just weak
[21:55] Reis: (Do we manage it with two working on it?)
[21:55] Sheena: (she's a women as well, both of us can't do it?)
[21:55] * Sheena tries to lift and sorta.. dont
[21:55] Alathon: she's not a wispy little thing.. hmm
[21:55] * Reis gives Sheena what help is necessary to lift the woman.
[21:55] Alathon: I think flight can usually carry your carry weight
[21:56] Alathon: okay
[21:56] Reis: (Well, we've got two ranks, so can't we go slower while carrying her?)
[21:56] Alathon: the two of you, together, can with effort get her off the ground.
[21:56] Alathon: yes
[21:57] Sheena: "This sucks!"
[21:57] Alathon: hmm..
[21:57] Alathon: roll 1d2
[21:57] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d2 --> [ 1d2=1 ]{1}
[21:57] Alathon: Reis, you notice blood dripping down one of your hands
[21:57] * Reis grunts with effort, and tries to support a bit more of the weight. "Yes... We really should have considered a bit more before taking a prisoner. Or something."
[21:57] Alathon: You've re-opened her wonds.
[21:58] * Reis frowns. "Senpai... The wounds are opening again."
[21:58] Sheena: Dark Heart:Physical training is required
[21:58] Sheena: "Shit, land land"
[21:58] * Sheena gets on her com
[21:58] * Reis goes down.
[21:58] * Reis will try to RE-stabilize her once they're on the ground.
[21:58] Reis: (Do I have to reroll?)
[21:59] Alathon: yes
[22:00] Reis: roll 1d20+6 sigh
[22:00] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+6 sigh --> [ 1d20=20 ]{26}
[22:00] Reis: (Woot!)
[22:00] Alathon: You manage it.. but examining her realize she's really damned close to dying.
[22:00] Alathon: Her breathing is slow, and shallow.
[22:00] * Reis frowns. "She's not in good shape senpai. We probably won't manage this on our own."
[22:01] Reis: "Perhaps Mani-san could heal her a bit and make her more likely to survive?"
[22:01] * Sheena is talking in her com
[22:01] Sheena: "Talking to mani now,"
[22:01] * Reis nods.
[22:02] Sheena: "Keep an eye out for guests reis,"
[22:02] * Reis nods and braces with an eye outward.
[22:02] * Sheena points her hand up and lets a shot fly off into the air for the others to see
[22:03] Sheena: (need to roll on it)
[22:03] Sheena: (?)
[22:03] Reis: (Not really a 'skill' matter, unless it's somehow possible to miss the sky)
[22:04] Alathon: crack.. crack... BOOM boom boom boom.. crack...
[22:04] Alathon: the gunfire is pretty quiet at this point.
[22:04] Reis: (... Dare I ask ah okay)
[22:05] Sheena: (sheena lunched one of her big glowing shots into the air,)
[22:05] Alathon: quite sporadic
[22:05] Alathon: with most of the 'cracks' being followed by a series of 'booms'
[22:05] Reis: ('Crack.' 'Boomboomboom, bitch!')
[22:05] Sheena: "Reis come over here"
[22:05] * Reis blinks and does so.
[22:05] * Sheena moves a bit so there sholder to sholder
[22:06] Sheena: "Just wanted to get you behind my protection sheild,"
[22:06] * Reis blushes and doesn't move. "R-right senpai... Thank you..."
[22:06] Sheena: "Dont need a stray shot ruining that pritty face of yours"
[22:06] * Reis flushes again.
[22:07] * Sheena talks into the com again "You guys see my shot or what?"
[22:12] Alathon: It's gonna be a while
[22:12] Alathon: keeping spells up?
[22:12] Sheena: (yes0
[22:12] Alathon: okay
[22:12] Alathon: 20 minutes worth of drain then
[22:13] Sheena: (wait,
[22:13] Reis: (Not on my part, nothing that's good for defence by suprise)
[22:13] Alathon: that's how long it takes for the humvee to come into view.
[22:13] Sheena: if its 20 freaking min i would drop the fuku
[22:13] Sheena: ()
[22:13] Sheena: (the shield stays up on its own tho)
[22:13] Alathon: well decide how long you'll keep it up then
[22:13] Sheena: (after a few, any more and sheena's on backup)
[22:13] * Sheena lets her fuku fade but don't dismess the shield
[22:14] Sheena: "where hte hell are they?"
[22:14] * Reis frowns. "I could send a sword into the air... It might not be very visible though."
[22:15] Sheena: "I guess we flew kinda far, I never expected to find a velka mage on this planet"
[22:15] Reis: (Yo Al? Would my 'fling-swords' attack be visible, or is it too dull?)
[22:16] * Reis blinks and looks to Sheena. "What's a Velka mage?"
[22:17] Alathon: anyways, back to the other room
[22:17] Sheena: "Its a type of magic used in other dimonsion, sorta rare i think)
[22:17] Sheena: ""
[22:17] Reis: "Ah... What does it do? Similar to our own?"
[22:17] * Reis blinkblinks. "And, how did you come across it senpai?"

Session 43

[18:12] Alathon: anyways
[18:12] *** Yarrow is now known as Mani.
[18:12] Alathon: we left off last week with the party a bit on the battered side, their Harleyrider companions in similar shape, and with an enemy combatant in custody
[18:13] Alathon: whether or not she answeres to a legitimate chain of command is as yet to be determined, however, she was definately wearing some sorta uniform.. albeit one that's quite scorched now
[18:13] Ken_Yamada: (Re-Entry would do that)
[18:14] Alathon: Reis and Sheena flew off to chase and capture her, while the rest of the party fought their way through Texan forces in the melee
[18:14] Alathon: we pick up with Martha driving the humvee into a makeshift Rider camp to the west of the battlefield proper
[18:15] Alathon: Martha is looking around, eying the riders she passes.. perhaps counting, to see how many were lost, or how many are confirmed alive.
[18:16] * Sheena looks tired from the flying crashing battle they just had
[18:16] Alathon: She'll eventually park the humvee near several others.. two of them looking much the worse for wear, and turn to address the party.
[18:16] Alathon: Martha hesitates a bit, then speaks up.
[18:17] Alathon: Martha: "What're your plans for.. her?"
[18:17] Alathon: Martha: "I'm going to fetch Lysle, and I'm sure he'd like to know what your position is."
[18:17] Mani: "We're not completely sure yet. I assume you've called this in, Sheena?"
[18:18] * Reis covers a yawn.
[18:19] *** Sheena is ~Pai@c-71-57-59-235.hsd1.il.comcast.net (Pai)
[18:19] *** Sheena is on: #crystaltokyo @#fukufics
[18:19] *** Sheena is using castleheck.tx.us.lunarnet.org Castle Heck, The Server of Generic Evil!
[18:19] *** Sheena has been idle 2 minutes, signed on at Tue Jun 26 17:24:48 2007
[18:19] *** End of /WHOIS.
[18:19] Sheena: "Sent a ergent message as soon as i had a chance, Im sure the boss and other will want to question this girl in the very lest."
[18:19] Alathon: Martha nods.
[18:19] Mani: "No reply yet, then?"
[18:19] Alathon: Martha: "Well.. either way, I'd suggest keeping her in the car for the time being."
[18:19] Sheena: "I hop they come get her, i asked them as much."
[18:19] Mani: "Sounds good."
[18:20] Alathon: Martha: "That might be best.. though speaking on behalf of the AFS, we'd definately like a look at any pertinent information you sweat out of her."
[18:20] * Sheena checks her com and puts it away
[18:20] Sheena: "Corse,"
[18:20] Alathon: Martha: "Keeping in mind that she's likely responsible for injuries to, or deaths of, our Riders."
[18:20] Mani: "How's her condition?"
[18:21] Alathon: Nobody here is a doctor, but if you had to make a guess, it'd be 'Serious but Stable'.
[18:21] Alathon: Two of her limbs are more or less wrecked, even after the healing, and she hasn't said a peep.
[18:21] Ken_Yamada: (Can I make a medical roll?)
[18:22] Alathon: sure
[18:22] Ken_Yamada: roll 1d20+7 Medical
[18:22] Ala-bot: Ken_Yamada rolled 1d20+7 Medical --> [ 1d20=18 ]{25}
[18:22] Alathon: You learn a bit more.. you can't rule out any continued internal bleeding, but her life signs do not seem to be fading any.. and while there's extensive bruising, there's no further bleeding, or obvious evidence of internal bleeding in her damaged limbs.
[18:23] Mani: (And very little chance of her waking up any time soon, I take it.)
[18:24] Ken_Yamada: "Can't rule out internal bleeding, but her life signs don't seem to be dropping. No other bleeding aside from the extensive bruising."
[18:24] Ken_Yamada: "In other words, she'll live."
[18:24] Mani: "And it sounds like we don't need to dose her right now."
[18:25] * Reis just nods, having stabilized her to begin with.
[18:25] Ken_Yamada: "Yeah... Whatever sheena did, totalled at least two of her limbs."
[18:25] Ken_Yamada: (THink it was both her arms)
[18:25] Alathon: Yuuno: "Hey, when she was in that fight, did you see her waving her arms around any when she was casting spells?"
[18:25] * Reis yawns slightly. "That would be slamming into the ground from orbital heights."
[18:25] Alathon: Yuuno: "If she needs both of 'em, that could be a good thing."
[18:26] Reis: (Did we? :P )
[18:26] Sheena: "Nope, no waving yuuno."
[18:26] Sheena: (if we did it was never said.)
[18:26] Alathon: If she was, it wasn't visible at the ranges youw ere fighting.
[18:26] Ken_Yamada: "Huh... That reminds me. Didn't she have some sort of weapon or something?"
[18:27] Sheena: "Eh Yuuno, There isnt any other ferret dudes running around handing out devices are there?"
[18:27] Alathon: Yuuno: "Hell if I know.. if there's really an infinite number of worlds, there's probably an infinite number of magical ferrets."
[18:28] Ken_Yamada: "Hmm, does that mean there's an infinite number of me's too?"
[18:28] Sheena: "Uh-huh, and there probly all named yuuno to. Like some kinda conspircy to get close to good looking women"
[18:28] Alathon: Yuuno: "Nah, that can't be.. I'd be hanging around with someone else in that case!"
[18:28] * Reis giggles.
[18:29] * Ken_Yamada snorts
[18:29] Ken_Yamada: "Yeah, and I'm the king."
[18:29] Sheena: "Any way, hmm... I got ..."
[18:29] * Sheena waps Yuuno lighty
[18:29] * Sheena ahem..
[18:30] Sheena: "Any way, I got a good look at the runic circles and power she used."
[18:30] Alathon: Martha: "What do those reveal?"
[18:30] Sheena: "Yuuno, it seemed like what was described for Velka magic."
[18:30] Mani: "Velka?"
[18:30] * Reis nods. "It was triangular in pattern, different from senpai's..."
[18:30] Ken_Yamada: "...Velka? Isn't that some sort of foot fungas?"
[18:30] Alathon: Yuuno: "You mean.. oh. Yeah.. if it looked similar, but with triangular patterns with circular embedded patterns, that would fit the bill."
[18:31] Alathon: Martha: "Where's Velka?"
[18:31] Alathon: Martha: "Somewhere across the western ocean?"
[18:31] * Reis stares at Ken. "If anything, it's closest to the word for 'squirrel'. Which is almost as confusing, but..."
[18:32] * Reis looks at Sheena and Yuuno.
[18:32] * Sheena shurgs
[18:32] * Ken_Yamada shrugs art Reis, "Sue me... So I'm a little rusty with my 'magical terminology' "
[18:32] Sheena: "No idea myself, i only know base things about there magic system"
[18:32] Mani: "In what language?"
[18:32] Reis: "German."
[18:33] Alathon: Yuuno glares at Reis.
[18:33] * Reis blinks.
[18:33] Alathon: Yuuno: "There's nothing squirrel-like about me."
[18:33] * Ken_Yamada raises an eyebrow...
[18:33] Alathon: Yuuno: "I'm one hundred percent....
[18:33] Alathon: Yuuno pauses.
[18:33] * Mani shakes her head.
[18:33] Alathon: Yuuno: "Ferret."
[18:33] * Reis shakes her head. "No no no no no sensei! The German word for 'squirrel' is 'belka'."
[18:33] Ken_Yamada: "And edible."
[18:33] Mani: "Really. Yuuno's a predator. A squirrel is prey."
[18:34] Alathon: Yuuno: "Oh. Okay then."
[18:34] * Ken_Yamada looks away innocently
[18:34] Mani: "As are you, Yamada."
[18:34] Alathon: Yuuno sort of nods his head in Mani's direction.
[18:34] * Mani looks slightly offended on Yuuno's behalf.
[18:34] Alathon: Martha raises an eyebrow.
[18:34] Alathon: Martha: "Hopefully you don't mean literally?"
[18:35] Alathon: She addressed that to Mani
[18:35] Mani: "Technically, Ken's as edible as Yuuno. And we're no more likely to eat one than the other."
[18:36] Ken_Yamada: "Hmm... but back to the matter. So you two didn't find any weapons or devices or anything on her?"
[18:36] * Ken_Yamada says a bit TOO quickly
[18:36] Sheena: "Maybe, we are unsure"
[18:36] Alathon: Martha looks like she's gonna respond, then chooses not to after Ken asks.
[18:36] Alathon: Martha: "You didn't find anything on her? Or.. you think she lost it in the fall?"
[18:37] Sheena: "She had some odd rings on, but she was so flooded with magic herself i couldnt pick anything out"
[18:37] Alathon: Martha looks a little concerned at that statement.
[18:37] Alathon: Martha: "Flooded with magic.. is she still?"
[18:37] Alathon: The answer is, no -- there's nothing overtly magical about her at this point.
[18:37] Sheena: (still is right?)
[18:37] * Ken_Yamada glances at the unconscious girl...
[18:38] * Reis frowns. "If it's a device, it might not be intrinsically magical anyway, but technological."
[18:38] Sheena: "No, seems it faded."
[18:38] Ken_Yamada: "Scaa-reee..."
[18:38] Alathon: Martha: "Well.. you might want to search her."
[18:38] Sheena: "True reis, you and me will ahve to go over all her gear"
[18:38] Alathon: Martha: "In the mean time, I should really go have a word with Lysle."
[18:39] Mani: "All right. Assuming you're not going to be gone for an overly long time, we'll wait here."
[18:39] Reis: "And we should take a closer examination of those rings as well, senpai."
[18:39] Alathon: Martha nods.
[18:39] Alathon: Martha: "With any luck, should just be a few minutes."
[18:41] Sheena: "So we search her from head to toe?
[18:41] Mani: "Better than being surprised later. Can you do it in here?"
[18:41] * Reis nods, blinking blearily, and starts taking a closer examination.
[18:42] Mani: (Reis blushes. "What an interesting piercing...")
[18:42] Ken_Yamada: "Want me to assist with Enigma?"
[18:42] Alathon: Martha heads off to track down her chapter head.
[18:43] Sheena: "She can't really move, so its mostly just a strip search, Look for any odd jewels or hell, anything small"
[18:43] * Reis shrugs. "I'm not exactly certain what Enigma can do unless you'd just prefer to remove everything rather than searching her..."
[18:43] Ken_Yamada: "Well, I can levitate her and make searching her easier that way."
[18:43] Mani: "How, exactly, are you planning to search her while she's wrapped in roots?"
[18:44] Ken_Yamada: "Once we get her free that is."
[18:44] Ken_Yamada: "Of course... I'd rather not risk freeing her right now. Maybe we can wait until we get a respoonse from Usagi?"
[18:45] Mani: "Well, I don't see us cutting her loose in the vehicle."
[18:45] Mani: "Let's wait until Martha gets back at very least."
[18:45] Ken_Yamada: "Yeah."
[18:45] * Reis shrugs. "If it helps, it seems she wasn't able to do much at all while bound."
[18:46] Sheena: "Reis, let me see thoes rings you took off her"
[18:46] * Ken_Yamada looks at Reis.
[18:46] * Reis pulls them out of her pocket and holds them out for Sheena to look at.
[18:46] Sheena: (what kinda check would i need to ID them? or figer out there devices?)
[18:46] Alathon: Well.. the first check is to see if they're magical. Which they're not
[18:47] Alathon: If they have any superpowers, they're either non-magical, or shielded from your view.
[18:47] Alathon: Do you examine them?
[18:47] * Reis examines them closer as well.
[18:47] Ken_Yamada: "Let's hope she can't cast spells without her arms."
[18:47] Sheena: (corse)
[18:47] * Mani shrugs.
[18:47] Reis: (Knowledge Arcane, Knowledge Mechanical...?)
[18:47] Mani: "I'm pretty sure she can't do much of anything in her current condition."
[18:47] Alathon: Each one is largely plain, looking to be made of gold, or some gold-like alloy.
[18:47] Sheena: (magical grius?)
[18:48] Alathon: Each ring has a single word inscribed on the inside, in abyssal script.
[18:48] Alathon: roll your mechanical + 2 per rank of mechanical genius
[18:48] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled your mechanical + 2 per rank of mechanical genius --> error: malformed expression
[18:48] * Reis points out the words. "Can you read those, senpai?"
[18:48] Sheena: (what do the words say?)
[18:48] Reis: roll 1d20+18
[18:48] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{36}
[18:49] Sheena: "There not common words i know,"
[18:49] Mani: "Do you know them, Yuuno?"
[18:49] Alathon: Yuuno examines the ring briefly.
[18:49] Alathon: Yuuno: "Hassan.. Djaric... um, nope."
[18:49] Mani: "Don't say them aloud."
[18:50] Alathon: Yuuno snickers softly.
[18:50] Sheena: Roll 1d20+12 device check
[18:50] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+12 device check --> [ 1d20=14 ]{26}
[18:50] * Reis frowns. "Names?"
[18:50] Alathon: Yuuno: "Could be.. some magical devices have names."
[18:51] Sheena: "Hmm, they just like very well made rings, It could be something else"
[18:51] Reis: "They don't look like they were made through normal smithcraft, at least... I can't really tell anything more here. Either there's nothing there, or it's so subtle we won't see without examining them closely."
[18:52] * Ken_Yamada kinda... zones out at this point.
[18:52] Sheena: "Ya, dark heart looks like a normal small gem most of the time."
[18:52] Mani: "Even to your senses?"
[18:53] Sheena: (good question)
[18:53] Sheena: (does it?)
[18:54] * Sheena peaks down her shirt rechecking
[18:55] Alathon: It looks like a magical gem.
[18:56] Alathon: Around this time, Martha makes her way back.. she opens the car door, and lets herself in, then closes it.
[18:56] Alathon: Martha: "So.. I take it you decided against freeing her to search her?"
[18:56] * Reis pockets the rings again.
[18:56] Ken_Yamada: "Duh."
[18:57] Ken_Yamada: "So, what's the word from Lysle?"
[18:57] Sheena: "I guess we should, Reis can all ways rebind after a good search"
[18:57] Mani: "For the moment. We can't do it in here and figured we'd wait for you to get back."
[18:57] Sheena: "Since these rings seem to just be well made, but not the device"
[18:57] Alathon: Martha nods.
[18:57] Alathon: Martha: "Device? Anyways."
[18:58] Alathon: Martha: "Lysle was of the same opinion as myself, regarding keeping her out of site."
[18:58] * Reis frowns and nods. "I can do another bind before conking out, though..."
[18:58] Alathon: Martha: "His Riders aren't without discipline.. but, there's a lot of pent up hostility, and one good kick to the head could rob us all of valuable intelligence."
[18:58] * Mani nods.
[18:58] Ken_Yamada: "So basically, it comes down to 'If you wanna deal with her, do it somewhere else' right?"
[18:59] Alathon: Martha: "Not necessarily.. just, no dragging her around without some sort of official notice."
[18:59] * Ken_Yamada nods
[18:59] Mani: "Think we could get a tent where we can search her?"
[18:59] Ken_Yamada: "Okay, that sounds reasonable."
[18:59] Mani: "Or are we moving out?"
[18:59] Alathon: ((hmm, one sec, I need to check a map
[19:00] Alathon: Okay
[19:00] Alathon: Martha: "We will be in a couple hours. We need to do a thorough search first. Make sure we don't leave anyone trapped under a vehicle or debris."
[19:01] Alathon: Martha: "Our wounded will be whole by then, and theirs will be dealt with."
[19:01] * Mani nods.
[19:01] Mani: "If there's anyone who needs healing beyond their normal abilities, let me know."
[19:01] Alathon: Martha nods.
[19:02] * Sheena checks her com again and tries to lay back abit
[19:02] Alathon: Martha: "Honestly.. I don't think it's likely, unless you can grow back eyeballs and hands."
[19:02] Alathon: Martha then looks kinda hopeful.
[19:03] Alathon: Martha: "Can you?"
[19:03] Reis: ("Dunno. DM hasn't said.")
[19:03] Mani: "Mmm... not yet, I'm afraid."
[19:03] Alathon: Martha looks slightly crestfallen.
[19:04] Alathon: Martha: "Well, yet.. that's something."
[19:04] Alathon: Martha: "If you could.. or any of your people could, and would.. well, that'd count for a lot with us."
[19:04] Mani: ("Maybe in a couple of sessions.")
[19:04] Alathon: Martha pauses for a moment, then continues: "We have a lot of people who are fit, but missing something they need to be combat effective."
[19:05] Ken_Yamada: "I have basic medical training... I could assist if you guys are short-handed."
[19:05] * Mani winces slightly at Ken's wording.
[19:05] Alathon: Martha shakes her head slightly.
[19:05] Ken_Yamada: "Err, Under-staffed. Sorry."
[19:05] Alathon: Martha: "Riders generally don't need help with the basics."
[19:05] * Ken_Yamada looks down, and scratches his head.
[19:05] Alathon: Martha: "But I appreciate the offer."
[19:06] Alathon: Martha: "I suppose whoever handles your policing don't always have fast healing?"
[19:06] * Mani shakes her head.
[19:06] Alathon: Martha looks a bit bemused at that.
[19:06] Alathon: Martha: "Hard to imagine.. all it'd take is one scuffle and a bit of bad luck, and that could be it."
[19:08] Alathon: Martha: "Soo..."
[19:08] Alathon: Martha: "If it's at all possible, Lysle would like to be present when you question her.. or at least have a representative present."
[19:08] Mani: "I'll pass that on once we get word back."
[19:09] Alathon: Martha nods.
[19:09] Sheena: "Right now it's likly best we keep her knocked out"
[19:09] Alathon: Martha: "I agree."
[19:09] Mani: "I'm not sure we could wake her if we wanted to."
[19:09] Alathon: Kuonji: "If she does come to, well.. I've got ways to keep her under."
[19:10] * Mani nods.
[19:10] Alathon: Martha, grinning: "She does look a little worse for wear, doesn't she."
[19:10] Mani: "I'm disinclined to dose her now. Do you agree, Sakura?"
[19:10] Alathon: Kuonji takes a moment to consider.
[19:10] Ken_Yamada: "If I didn't know she got those injuries from orbital re-entry... I wouldn't be so freaked out about her."
[19:11] Mani: "Well, you know more about your sedative. Is it something that could cause complications?"
[19:11] Alathon: Kuonji: "A sleeping draught would depress her system as a whole. I can't rightly say whether we're better off risking her waking up, or risking her dying, taichou."
[19:12] Alathon: Kuonji: "It could cause complications."
[19:12] Mani: "Mm. I think with us around, we're better off risking her waking up."
[19:12] Alathon: Martha: "Is there anything else? I ought to be out there.."
[19:12] Alathon: Martha looks to the east.
[19:12] Sheena: "Ok, but one of you girls get to drop her from orbit next time. Me and reis are drained"
[19:13] Mani: "I think that's it. Sheena and Reis should rest, mm, and I think the rest of us will keep an eye on her."
[19:13] Ken_Yamada: "Heh, no problems here."
[19:14] Alathon: Martha: "If you want to pitch a tent here to take a nap in, I don't think anyone would look askance"
[19:14] Alathon: Martha: "There will be a few up for those convalescing."
[19:14] Alathon: Martha: "Just keep in mind, it'll only be for a few hours."
[19:14] Alathon: Martha opens the door and heads out.
[19:15] Mani: "Hey, Sakura, if you can give instructions on how to dose her, would you like to help with the search? You have abilities that would be helpful in it."
[19:16] * Reis blinks herself back conscious. "Oh... If you're going to guard her, be warned. If she wakes up and can cast, her first action will probably be to initiate a massive field defence. If you don't get her out again before then, you _won't_."
[19:17] Mani: "Thanks."
[19:17] Alathon: Kuonji: "With all respect, Taichou, I was asked to keep these within my possession at all times."
[19:17] Mani: "All right, then."
[19:17] Alathon: Kuonji: "I will search, or guard, as you request."
[19:17] Mani: "Guard. If she starts to come around, the sedative is our best bet."
[19:18] Mani: "Ken, have Enigma ready, too, please."
[19:18] * Mani shrugs.
[19:18] Sheena: "Could all ways just smash her face in again while she's wakening up"
[19:18] * Ken_Yamada sighs, as Enigma fades into view.
[19:18] Mani: "Probably overkill, but better safe than sorry."
[19:18] Ken_Yamada: "Way ahead of you Mani."
[19:18] * Sheena pulls the cloak around herself and leans back for a nap
[19:19] * Ken_Yamada allows Enigma to fade out of view again.
[19:19] Alathon: Time will pass.. in the next hour, Riders will come and go from the camp.
[19:19] * Reis finds a patch of space and conks out.
[19:20] Alathon: After around an hour and a half, Sheena's communicator beeps.
[19:20] Alathon: Thirty seconds later, Mani's beeps.
[19:20] Alathon: ((I'm assuming Sheena isn't getting up instantly for a phone call ;p ))
[19:20] * Mani was about to wake Sheena or answer her communicator for her if it was in reach but answers her own instead.
[19:21] Mani: "Yes?"
[19:22] Ken_Yamada: ("Hello, this is demtel telemarketing, are you interested in our new steak kniv-" *Mani hangs up and goes back to sleep*)
[19:23] * Mani puts the call on speaker.
[19:23] Mani: "Sheena, wake up."
[19:23] Alathon: Usagi: "All right, can everyone hear me?"
[19:23] Reis: (Someone wake me up :P )
[19:23] * Mani shakes Sheena.
[19:24] Mani: "Let me wake up Sheena and Reis."
[19:24] * Mani shakes Reis, too.
[19:24] Ken_Yamada: "Yo! Usagi, how's things?"
[19:24] * Reis blinks. "Mani-san...?"
[19:24] * Sheena blinks and eye open and sorta halfglares before spotting mani
[19:24] Mani: "Usagi's on the comm."
[19:24] Sheena: "ghh.. Oh"
[19:24] * Mani sighs at Ken's greeting.
[19:24] Alathon: Usagi disregards it.
[19:24] * Reis yawns and sits up.
[19:24] Alathon: Usagi: "Correct me if any of this is incorrect."
[19:25] * Sheena sets up a bit and cracks her back a bit to get up
[19:25] Sheena: *wake
[19:25] Alathon: Usagi: "You have one of those 'angels' as a captive. Human, magic user of some sort, speaks a language Sheena speaks. Banged up but alive."
[19:25] Sheena: "She wasn't poseing as an angel, thoes are other creatures. But ya the rest is right"
[19:26] Ken_Yamada: "She's unconscious right now, and under wraps so to speak."
[19:26] Alathon: Usagi: "She wasn't? Then how was.. never mind."
[19:26] Alathon: Usagi: "What is the party's current status?"
[19:27] * Sheena looks over at reis then mani
[19:27] Mani: "We're in good shape. Sheena and Reis are tired. We have the prisoner unconscious and bound; her condition seems to be serious but stable."
[19:27] * Reis covers a yawn. "Tired, but uninjured."
[19:27] Sheena: "Used up a lota magic boss,"
[19:28] Mani: "We're at a temporary AFS camp. They plan to move out in a couple of hours."
[19:29] Alathon: Usagi: "Right.."
[19:29] Alathon: Usagi: "Yuuno, can you get them lot of you back to Crystal Tokyo?"
[19:29] Alathon: Yuuno: "No way.. CT's way out of my range, well.. way out of where I'd normally try to port."
[19:29] Alathon: Yuuno: "And Carson and even Erickson are too."
[19:29] Mani: "You have a path where you can make several jumps, don't you, Yuuno?"
[19:30] Alathon: Yuuno mulls this over a bit.
[19:30] Alathon: Yuuno: "Through Provo?"
[19:31] Sheena: "I don't believ any one around here would be able t containe a mage like this if she has aceses to her powers, i had to drop her from 3 miles up just to end the fight last time"
[19:31] Mani: "You learned a path to get back to CT by hopping from several islands, didn't you?"
[19:32] Sheena: (lest he used to)
[19:32] Alathon: Yuuno: "I did.. that's not hte problem."
[19:32] Reis: (Yep, though we're pretty far inland now...)
[19:32] Alathon: Yuuno: "I could make it back to Crystal Tokyo in three hops.. that's the most I can do in a day, and that's with a couple hours breather somewhere in there."
[19:33] Alathon: Yuuno: "Provo would be one hop, Carson the second.. at best, I could make it to one of those little mid-pacific islands."
[19:33] Sheena: "And then we let you rest for a day?
[19:33] * Mani looks at Usagi.
[19:33] Mani: "Would someone be able to pick us up from Provo, Carson, or an island?"
[19:33] Alathon: Usagi: "Just making it to Carson would probably be enough."
[19:34] Alathon: Usagi: "Exactly.. well, one moment."
[19:34] * Mani frowns.
[19:34] Alathon: Usagi sets the communicator down -- it's now looking at the ceiling.
[19:34] Mani: "Are Carson's teleport spots still usable?"
[19:34] Sheena: "Do we bring martha?"
[19:34] Alathon: There's some ruffling sounds and soft speech off camera..
[19:34] Alathon: Yuuno: "I.. think so."
[19:35] Alathon: Yuuno: "I had a spot behind one of those inns, I think."
[19:35] Alathon: Yuuno: "Oh, and the one way out in the fields south of town."
[19:35] Ken_Yamada: "Actually, I'm not sure. About bringing Martha that is."
[19:35] Alathon: Yuuno looks over to Sheena.
[19:35] * Sheena looks at ken
[19:35] Sheena: "Oh?"
[19:35] Alathon: Yuuno: "It'd be a strain, but.. I think I can do it."
[19:35] Mani: "Ah, ok. The one in the fields probably looks the same."
[19:35] Mani: "We'll pass on Lisle's request."
[19:35] Sheena: "And whats your problem with bringing martha, she was there for the battle after all"
[19:36] Alathon: ((when you port into a field during summer, you all take 6d8 damage from corn.))
[19:36] Ken_Yamada: "Well, we'd want to limit Yuuno's load as much as possible... And as for Martha, her place is here I think."
[19:36] Mani: ("I didn't expect it to be as high as an elephant's eye!")
[19:36] Sheena: (Hey kid, what you doing out here in this field.. wnad what odd hair you have)
[19:36] Ken_Yamada: "I'm not sure if Usagi would be at all happy with bringing her back home, after the conditions we were given for this mission."
[19:37] Sheena: "Your line of thinking confuses me,"
[19:37] Alathon: Kuonji: "Taichou? If we blow him off, how welcome would we be back here?"
[19:37] Mani: "As I said, we'll pass on the request and see what she says."
[19:37] Alathon: Kuonji: "Pass it on to the Princess?"
[19:38] * Mani nods.
[19:38] Mani: "Ultimately, it is her decision."
[19:38] Alathon: Kuonji: "Not the best word choice there, Taichou."
[19:38] Ken_Yamada: (Would you believe, I had a logical reason why we shouldn't bring martha along, but instantly forgot it the momenbt I started typing? ><)
[19:39] Alathon: A few moments later, the screen tilts, then shows Usagi's face.
[19:39] Ken_Yamada: (I do recall the mission brief mentioning something about not revealing too much about CT to the riders and stuff... We bring Martha back, and what's she gonna see?)
[19:39] Alathon: Usagi: "All right, I've got a ride to Carson."
[19:39] Alathon: Usagi: "We'll have to work out something to get you all back.. oh hell, you said they were moving on, didn't you."
[19:39] Mani: "Ok. Will the change in the city after the attack be a problem with you getting there?"
[19:40] Ken_Yamada: "Yeah."
[19:40] Alathon: Usagi: "Shouldn't be."
[19:40] Alathon: Usagi: "Where were you planning on meeting, that hotel that got trashed?"
[19:40] Mani: "Yes, they will be moving on. Also, the commander of the force we're with requested he have a represent for the questioning."
[19:41] Mani: "Yuuno has teleport locations behind an inn and in the fields south of the city."
[19:41] Alathon: Usagi: "A representative.. to what, listen in, or assist in the interrogation?"
[19:41] Mani: "Yuuno, would you be able to use the inn one safely?"
[19:41] Mani: "Listen in."
[19:42] Mani: "It wasn't explicitly stated, but that's certainly the impression I got."
[19:42] Sheena: "Heh.. im sure they would be happy to assiest to"
[19:43] Alathon: Yuuno: "The Inn one? I.. don't know. That'd k inda be asking for it, actually."
[19:44] Alathon: Usagi: "Hm."
[19:44] Alathon: Usagi thinks for a moment.
[19:44] Mani: "I think it'd be better if you could meet us south of the city, then, unless you want us carrying an unconscious injured woman wrapped in roots through the streets."
[19:45] Alathon: Usagi: "Right... hm. Could you describe the captive?"
[19:45] Alathon: Usagi: "And, is there anything I ought to know, or come prepared for?"
[19:46] Mani: "I could focus the comm on her. Reis, could you provide further description or warning."
[19:46] * Mani focuses the comm on the captive.
[19:46] Alathon: Usagi looks for a few moments, then comments: "Allright.. hm."
[19:47] Ken_Yamada: "Umm... she survived an orbital drop. So if itanything to keep her restrained for the questioning might be nice."
[19:47] Ken_Yamada: Retcon that
[19:47] Sheena: "She has a highly advanced magical shield or armor. Me and i spent all our power trying to take it down"
[19:47] Mani: (Me and i?)
[19:47] * Reis blinks and nods. "Um, she's capable of high-speed flight... some form of long-range attack... A _very_ powerful defensive shield..."
[19:47] Alathon: Usagi: "Right.. hm."
[19:47] Sheena: "We failed, so after reis got a bind i her, I slamed her into the ground a bit shy of 500ish"
[19:48] Alathon: Usagi: "Sheena, you said you spoke to her. How would you characterize your conversation with her?"
[19:48] Sheena: (*Me and Reis)
[19:49] Reis: (Father just got back from Trinidad. I might be in-outish for a while)
[19:49] Alathon: ((nod))
[19:49] Sheena: "Ittelgent, Spoke abyssly, Her words leave me to belive she's part of a team, she was quite she of her rescue and taunted me with the fact"
[19:50] Sheena: "Offering to let us go if we left then and there. SHe turned down offer of surrender even when i was flying with her towards to ground"
[19:50] Sheena: (*sure)
[19:51] Alathon: Usagi: "Hmm.. "
[19:52] Reis: (Blinkblink)
[19:52] Alathon: Usagi: "Mani, do you think you could get a male representative from the Harleyriders?"
[19:52] Sheena: (Reposting that in a readable way)
[19:52] Sheena: "Intelligent, Spoke abyssal, Her words leave me to believe she's part of a team, she was quite she of her rescue and taunted me with the fact"
[19:52] Sheena: "Offering to let us go if we left then and there, turned down offer of surrender even when I was flying with her towards to ground"
[19:52] Reis: (It's... my birthday)
[19:53] Alathon: ((no shit?))
[19:53] Alathon: ((happy birthday!))
[19:53] Reis: (Nope, no shit.)
[19:53] Ken_Yamada: (It is? Wow Happy birthday!)
[19:53] Sheena: (birthday punces?)
[19:53] Reis: (Just NOW realized... One hour, and I'll be 22)
[19:53] Ken_Yamada: (Ah)
[19:53] Sheena: "Male? Hmm, guess Martha messes out on the trip"
[19:53] Mani: "Male? Mm... our liason is female. I was told the commander himself would be interested in being there for the questioning, but I'm not sure how long he could leave his forces for. Or when."
[19:54] Alathon: Usagi: "If possible. If not, I have no objection to them having an observer."
[19:54] Mani: "May I ask why you'd prefer a male one?"
[19:54] Ken_Yamada: (She's single, lonely, and the men of CT bore her?)
[19:55] Alathon: Usagi, neutrally: "Because I want the parties questioning her to appear as threatening as feasibly possible."
[19:55] Alathon: ((it turns out that it's really what Ken said.. and she's heard good things about harleyrider stamina ;p ))
[19:55] Ken_Yamada: (haha)
[19:56] Ken_Yamada: (._.)
[19:56] Mani: "I see. How long would you expect it to be before the commander--Lilse--would be able to return?"
[19:56] * Sheena blinks at that
[19:56] Alathon: Usagi: "However long it takes Yuuno to recharge. That's twenty-four hours, correct?"
[19:56] Alathon: Yuuno: "Yeah.. gimme a good night's sleep and I'll be good to go."
[19:56] Sheena: "Hey.. I can look threatening. At lest i think.. And i did blast the crap out of her"
[19:56] * Sheena says mostly to hersef
[19:57] Alathon: Usagi smiles, chilly: "Oh, I don't doubt it, Sheena."
[19:57] Alathon: Usagi: "However, there are some threats you aren't particularly well equipped to imply."
[19:57] Ken_Yamada: "....................................."
[19:57] * Reis frowns and nods.
[19:57] * Sheena seems confused as she tries to figer out if thats a good thing or bad thing
[19:58] Ken_Yamada: "Now that's just nasty," he whispers to himself in some sort of shocked awe.
[19:58] Reis: (And they find these methods morally superiour to mindreading ;) )
[19:58] Alathon: ((that's a point very well worth considering))
[19:59] Mani: "I can't say I'm comfortable with such techniques... but I'll ask Lisle."
[19:59] Alathon: Usagi: "You shouldn't be."
[20:00] Mani: "Should I call you when we're ready to go to Carson?"
[20:00] Alathon: Usagi: "Feel free to make it clear to him that I'd like him there both as an observer, and as a representative of the people she's been killing."
[20:00] * Sheena figers out the topic and bluses some
[20:00] Alathon: Usagi: "I'll go ahead; I'm assuming it will be some time before you make the jump, and if the destination is south of town, I'll have some distance to travel."
[20:01] Mani: "Very well. We'll see you there."
[20:02] Alathon: Usagi: "Allright."
[20:02] Alathon: Usagi says her goodbyes, and hangs up.
[20:02] * Ken_Yamada looks at the captive...
[20:02] Mani: "Well. I'll go look for Lisle or Martha."
[20:02] Ken_Yamada: "I seriously wouldn't want to be her... ever."
[20:02] Alathon: She's unconscious, and wrapped in roots. And dirty, and somewhat bloody.
[20:03] Mani: "Keep in mind that they only plan to imply the threat."
[20:04] * Mani gets out and attempts to track down Lysle.
[20:04] Ken_Yamada: "Oh I know... I'd still hate to be her though. I don't see much of a future ahead for her afterall."
[20:04] Alathon: It'll take a few minutes to find out that he's out looking, but should be back within the hour -- they want to be moving (and less of a sitting duck target) by nightfall.
[20:04] Sheena: "You need to remember ken, she was about to rip loss on the battle fild. With a lot of power"
[20:05] Sheena: "And me and reis had not interceptect her attack they would be a lot more dead riders out there"
[20:05] Ken_Yamada: "I know, I know..."
[20:05] Ken_Yamada: "Yeah... I know it's not professional, but I still keep thinking 'What a waste' you know?"
[20:05] Sheena: "Pervert, thinking like that will get you killed"
[20:05] * Ken_Yamada sighs and checks his ammo count...
[20:06] Ken_Yamada: "Not like that... She's got all that tallent, and she's lived this long, just to have it end like this."
[20:06] Mani: (I imagine there's someone he'd see upon returning I could leave a message with?)
[20:06] Alathon: Yes
[20:06] Alathon: You can ask that he and/or Martha stop by and have a word with you
[20:06] * Mani does so.
[20:07] Alathon: Senior Harleyrider: "Allright, I'll do that. Shouldn't be all that long.. they've been out near on two hours."
[20:07] Mani: "Thanks."
[20:08] Ken_Yamada: "Still, she should've known better."
[20:08] Sheena: "Your being wierd, she's part of a team hired to do a job"
[20:08] Sheena: "She would has wasted you and not even given it any thought"
[20:09] * Mani returns to the humvee.
[20:09] * Reis shrugs, yawning a bit. "She knew the risks, and they're the same risks we face. She thought she was good enough to handle them."
[20:09] Mani: "He's out searching but should be back within the hour."
[20:09] * Ken_Yamada finishes checking his ammo, and stuffs his weapons away...
[20:09] Ken_Yamada: "Look, I'm not arguing that... I'm just-"
[20:10] * Ken_Yamada sighs...
[20:10] Ken_Yamada: "Oh hell... I don't know anymore."
[20:10] Mani: "What are you talking about--the misuse of power?"
[20:10] * Ken_Yamada shakes his head.
[20:10] Ken_Yamada: "It's nothing Mani, just me being an idiot. We good to go?"
[20:11] Mani: "Like I said, he's out searching right now. I asked that he see us when he returns."
[20:11] * Ken_Yamada nods
[20:12] * Reis frowns slightly, giving Velka-chan a look with her head cocked.
[20:13] Alathon: If there's nothing else to be said.. time will pass.
[20:13] * Ken_Yamada takes out two ration bars, and offers then to Sheena and Reis...
[20:13] Alathon: After around forty-five minutes, both Martha and Lysle will approach the car. Martha will open the door, and lean in.
[20:13] Mani: (Ken: "Sea urchin flavor.")
[20:13] Alathon: Martha: "Hey, could we have a word?"
[20:13] Ken_Yamada: "Dunno if these'll help, but I figured you could do with some food anyway."
[20:14] Ken_Yamada: (lol)
[20:14] Mani: "You bet. In here?"
[20:14] * Reis blinks and takes one with a thanks.
[20:14] Ken_Yamada: ("A prick with every bite!"
[20:14] Ken_Yamada: )
[20:14] * Sheena takes one
[20:14] Sheena: "Thanks"
[20:14] * Ken_Yamada shrigs.
[20:14] Ken_Yamada: ^shrugs
[20:14] Alathon: Martha: "If you reallyw ant.. it's a little cramped to fit the both of us.. oh, never mind that."
[20:14] Alathon: Martha: "Roll down the windows."
[20:15] * Sheena yawn and step out
[20:15] Mani: "Somewhere else is fine. Was just wondering if you were coming in or wanted me to get out."
[20:15] Alathon: Martha rolls down hers, then makes room for Lysle, whom after a short exchange sits down.
[20:15] Sheena: (or not)
[20:15] Alathon: Lysle; "In's fine by me."
[20:15] Ken_Yamada: "Heya Lysle."
[20:15] Alathon: Lsyle: "So.. I heard you caught yourselves a big one."
[20:15] Alathon: Lysle grins to Ken.
[20:15] * Sheena pulls a couple bottles of water out of her pack and passes one to reis after mixing it up
[20:16] Alathon: Lysle; "Heya yourself."
[20:16] Alathon: Lysle: "What's the word?"
[20:16] Alathon: He can't help but peer, curious, at the woman wrapped in wood a row of seats back from him.
[20:16] Ken_Yamada: ""Nothing much. Managed to take down a few texans while those two were off fishing."
[20:16] * Reis blinks and takes a sip. "It's good, senpai. Thank you."
[20:16] Alathon: Martha is leaning against the door of the humvee, looking in through the open window, listening.
[20:16] Mani: "Yep. And we've got instructions to take her in for interrogation. You're invited to be there, but you'll have to be away from here for about 24 hours."
[20:17] Alathon: Lysle: "Hmmm.."
[20:17] Alathon: Lysle tugs on his beard a few times, pulling the hair from his chin taught.
[20:17] Alathon: Lysle: "Away from here, where?"
[20:17] Sheena: "Rather far.."
[20:18] Mani: "Back in Crystal Tokyo. Our superior would like you there as both an observer and representative of the people our prisoner has been attacking."
[20:18] Alathon: Lysle's eyes widen a bit at this.. but his response is quick.
[20:18] Alathon: Lsyle: "All right, I'll be there."
[20:18] Alathon: Martha: "What? Lysle --"
[20:18] * Mani nods.
[20:18] Alathon: Lysle looks back.
[20:19] Alathon: Lysle: "You've got command. Go have a word with Dennis and tell him so."
[20:19] Alathon: Martha: "But --- !"
[20:19] Mani: "I'm sure you'll need to make arrangements and possibly oversee the moving of your forces. In fact, we're going to have to return to the spot we leave from..."
[20:19] Alathon: Lysle: "But nothing."
[20:19] Mani: "How long do you expect the move to take?"
[20:20] Alathon: Yuuno: "Not necessarily..."
[20:20] * Mani looks at Yuuno.
[20:20] Mani: "No?"
[20:20] Alathon: Yuuno: "Well.. we could move from here, pick another spot at distance from the battlefield, and Then port out."
[20:20] Alathon: Lysle: "There's nothing to arrange, the Adjutant here can handle things as well as I couldn."
[20:21] Alathon: ((could))
[20:21] Alathon: Martha looks profoundly troubled.
[20:21] * Ken_Yamada quetly watches the verbal tennis match between Lysle and Martha.
[20:21] Mani: "Right... But we'll have to return to a spot around here we've visited. If she <indicates the prisoner> does have friends coming, I don't think we want to pop in where they're likeliest to arrive."
[20:22] Sheena: "Some place back away from ust lines is best if posible"
[20:22] Ken_Yamada: "How about that last town?"
[20:22] Sheena: "We will have no idea if our return trip dumps us in the middle of a trop movment or an empty field"
[20:23] Alathon: Yuuno: "You've gotta point."
[20:23] Mani: "Of course, the further away we arrive from this unit, the longer it'll take us to rejoin it. But arriving in the middle of enemy troops would be problematic too..."
[20:24] * Mani looks at Lysle.
[20:24] Alathon: Lysle takes a moment to digest this.
[20:24] Mani: "Any suggestions for good spots to leave and return?"
[20:24] Alathon: Lysle: "Back at that forward base would be best, we aren't gonna abandon it any time soon, if we can help it."
[20:24] Mani: (How long would it take to get there?)
[20:25] Alathon: Lysle: "What sort of time frame are we operatin' in, here?"
[20:25] Alathon: ((that was more than a day away))
[20:25] Alathon: ((er, less than a day, but like 12-16 hours))
[20:26] Mani: "Well, we need to meet someone by Carson. I think she's expecting us to be there within several hours. I can contact her if we're going to be delayed; however, we really don't want our guest to wake up before we get there."
[20:26] * Mani thinks.
[20:26] Sheena: "Or die"
[20:26] Ken_Yamada: "So anywhere within the next 24 hours then."
[20:26] Alathon: Lysle: "Hm."
[20:27] Mani: "Sheena, how about you fly Yuuno to the base so he can get a fix, then come back here with him to teleport us?"
[20:27] Sheena: "Do able"
[20:27] Alathon: Lysle: "Oh? How long'd that take?"
[20:27] Sheena: "All tho im going to be upset if i get shot at'
[20:27] Mani: (I imagine it'd take *her* much less time to get there.)
[20:27] Alathon: ((answer.. not that long, but you don't have the EP for it))
[20:27] Alathon: ((keep in mind, keeping Grisly Wing up for an hour costs 240 EP))
[20:28] Ken_Yamada: "Aren't you still wiped out though Sheena?"
[20:28] Ken_Yamada: "You sure you can manage the trip?"
[20:28] Sheena: (an hour at 500 mph, how far is it?)
[20:28] Reis: (Well, how many miles away is it?)
[20:28] Alathon: ((.... 500 miles? oh
[20:28] Sheena: "I can't do full speed yet. Way to tired"
[20:28] Alathon: The base is only a bit over a hundred miles
[20:28] Sheena: (normal speed 50, mph. Grisly wing 500)
[20:28] * Ken_Yamada nods
[20:28] * Reis frowns. "That's about two hours."
[20:29] Mani: (12 minutes at grisly speed, then.)
[20:29] Alathon: Lysle: "two hours there, or round trip?"
[20:29] Reis: "Four-hour round trip."
[20:29] Alathon: ((which is to say, 48 ep))
[20:29] Mani: "And how long before you'd be rested enough to do it at full speed?"
[20:30] Reis: (48 ep? No...)
[20:30] Alathon: (( 8 mp for flight +2, 4 ep))
[20:30] Alathon: ((per minute))
[20:30] Reis: (It doesn't take any EP to fly normally)
[20:30] Alathon: ((it does to use a spell that increases your flight speed))
[20:30] Reis: (That's what I have without Magic at all)
[20:30] Sheena: "Eh.. with a nap an hour or so. Handing around more"
[20:30] Alathon: ((I was responding to Mani's 12 minute comment0)
[20:31] Mani: (Too bad your girlfriend hasn't taught you how to 'borrow' EP yet. :) )
[20:31] Reis: (Ah, gotcha)
[20:31] Alathon: ((that would be convenient, wouldn't it))
[20:31] Sheena: (The princess is worried about sheena enought,)
[20:31] Mani: "So, if you take an hour nap, you could do it in what, about half an hour?"
[20:31] Sheena: (And really, its only been twice. give it some moer time)
[20:32] Sheena: "Ya, should be able to"
[20:32] * Ken_Yamada takes out another ration bar, unwraps it, and takes a bite out of it...
[20:32] Sheena: "THen you guys meet me there? or do i head back"
[20:32] Sheena: "Flying around this side of the line probly isnt the best idea."
[20:32] * Sheena nods to the rooted girl
[20:33] Mani: "It'd take us almost a day to meet you there."
[20:33] Mani: "Actually, Yuuno should have enough power to teleport back here and then take us to Carson, shouldn't he?"
[20:33] Alathon: Lysle: "You might wanna stop a bit short if you're flying. Folks are liable to make assumptions if you get within sight range."
[20:34] Alathon: Yuuno: "Only with a few hours rest. Either here, or at Provo."
[20:34] Mani: (He can do three hops, right? One from the base, one to Provo, then one to Carson, yes?)
[20:35] Alathon: ((he can do 3 hops in a day, the 3rd requires several hours worth of ep regen))
[20:35] * Mani frowns.
[20:35] Alathon: ((15 ep per hop, and he has 42))
[20:36] Mani: "Well, if we want to get to Carson today and have the base as a return spot, I tihnk you'd need to fly there and back here, Sheena."
[20:37] Mani: "Though we could start driving toward the base while you rest so we're not still at the battle site."
[20:37] Alathon: Lysle: "If it's gotta be more than a day, I can work that."
[20:37] Alathon: Lysle: "Martha can handle things here. In fact.. that might be for the best."
[20:37] Alathon: Martha looks ready to dispute this, but holds her tongue."
[20:38] Mani: "I have to say I'm concerned about our prisoner."
[20:38] * Mani looks to the other party members.
[20:38] Alathon: Lysle: "Right."
[20:38] Mani: "Opinions?"
[20:38] Alathon: Lysle: "No use letting good intelligence slip through our fingers over piddlin' logistics questions."
[20:39] Alathon: Kuonji: "Lady Venus could, were she available, return us all to Kansas City."
[20:39] Sheena: "right then
[20:39] Alathon: Kuonji: "If not, perhaps Sheena-san could fly Yuuno over the western mountains to establish a teleport point."
[20:40] * Sheena down the rest of her bottle in a few chugs and pulls and the cloak around her more
[20:40] Sheena: "Just wake me up in a bit, and tell me where im flying to"
[20:40] * Ken_Yamada nods at Sakura before looking at Mani, "What he said."
[20:41] * Sheena leans back to try and nod off again,
[20:41] * Reis rests.
[20:41] Mani: "She could return us all home, for that matter."
[20:42] Alathon: Lysle: "As long as there's some way to be back here in, say.. three, four days.. it's fine by me."
[20:43] Mani: "Mm, Martha, Lysle, let's discuss this some more outside so Sheena can rest."
[20:43] Alathon: Lysle: "I can catch up with Martha and the rest back at supply."?
[20:43] Alathon: ((no ?))
[20:43] Alathon: Lysle opens a door and gets out.
[20:43] Alathon: Yuuno hops out a window, and clambers his way onto the roof of the hummer.
[20:43] Mani: "Ken, Sakura, please stay here in case our guest wakes up."
[20:43] Alathon: Kuonji: "Taichou."
[20:43] * Mani gets out.
[20:44] Ken_Yamada: "Ten-four and all that."
[20:44] * Mani quietly closes the door and moves far enough away that their voices won't keep Sheena up.
[20:44] * Ken_Yamada looks at Yuuno
[20:45] Sheena: (yuuno left(
[20:45] Mani: "Ok, it sounds like Sheena will fly to the base unless we come up with something better."
[20:45] Ken_Yamada: (Yuuno's on top of the hummer where I am though.)
[20:46] Mani: "What do you want to do about the humvee?"
[20:46] Alathon: Lysle shrugs.
[20:46] Alathon: Lysle: "Someone else will get it; Martha will get Mark or Ryan's hogg."
[20:47] Mani: "Well, like I said, I don't want us to wait here; should we accompany the rest as they move or head toward the base?"
[20:48] Mani: "Mm, probably going with the others would be best."
[20:48] Alathon: Lysle: "Waiting a quarter of an hour won't matter worth a damn."
[20:48] Alathon: Lysle; "Waiting a few hours will; it's getting late in the day, summer or no."
[20:48] Mani: "Going toward the base won't gain us any real time."
[20:49] Alathon: Yuuno: "We could just leave now, and sort out the whole returning thing later."
[20:49] Alathon: Yuuno: "I'm sure we could figure something out to get Lysle back in a few days."
[20:50] Mani: "Mmm. Have any thoughts on how we'd do that?"
[20:50] Mani: "Because I don't have any."
[20:51] Alathon: Yuuno: "Ask one of the senshi to port us back to Chicago or Kansas City?"
[20:51] Alathon: Yuuno: "Have Sheena fly over the mountains from Provo?"
[20:51] Alathon: Yuuno: "Have me port Sheena and I back here, and have her fly north and establish a point for us all to come in at?"
[20:51] Mani: (Fly over the mountains from Provo? I don't know the area well enough to understand the significance of that.)
[20:52] Alathon: Provo is the city the Yamahas held.. it's up against the Rocky Mountains, and a bit less than a thousand miles from where everyone stands.
[20:53] Ken_Yamada: "Well, regarding the Senshi, it's a bit of a stretch to assume that they'd be available to teleport us. I'm sure Usagi could arrange it, but I think it'd be better to assume that we can't count on them being available."
[20:53] Ken_Yamada: "Afterall, if we keep depending on the senshi from time to time for transport, what does that really say about us?"
[20:54] Alathon: Lysle: "What are these Senshi.. some sorta special forces?"
[20:54] Ken_Yamada: "Something like that, yeah."
[20:55] Mani: "Mm. We can't necessarily count on a teleport to Chicago or Kansas. And the other solutions sound like they'd be more effort later in exchange for about 90 minutes now."
[20:55] Ken_Yamada: (Only they're EXTRA special. ;P)
[20:55] Alathon: Yuuno: "Well.. effort in exchange for porting back behind friendly lines. nintety minutes won't get us into safe territory."
[20:56] Alathon: Lysle: "Porting... Teleporting? Moving from one spot to another without anything in-between?"
[20:56] Mani: "Yes."
[20:56] Alathon: Yuuno: "Um.. yeah, pretty much."
[20:56] Ken_Yamada: "Yep."
[20:56] Alathon: Lysle: "Right."
[20:57] Mani: (So, about Provo, would we be able to teleport here from there?)
[20:57] Mani: (Wait, of course we would...)
[20:57] Alathon: Yes, less than a thousand miles
[20:57] Mani: (Since we're planning on going there first.)
[20:57] Alathon: it's the only reason the Yuuno teleport is even an option
[20:57] Alathon: Carson is like.. 1600 miles away
[20:58] Alathon: Well, more like 1300
[20:58] Alathon: but same dif ;p
[20:58] Mani: "If we leave from here, we'd have to make our way to the forward base from Provo..."
[20:58] Alathon: Lysle: "Where's that?"
[20:58] Alathon: (Link: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl= ... image&cd=2)http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.onlineatlas.us/highway-map.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.onlineatlas.us/interstate-highways.htm&h=660&w=975&sz=142&tbnid=GI8iKELX_PSHhM:&tbnh=101&tbnw=149&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmap%2Bof%2Bthe%2Bunited%2Bstates%26um%3D1&start=2&sa=X&oi=images&ct=image&cd=2
[20:58] Alathon: an easy map to use for reference
[20:58] Mani: "Since if we came back here directly, we'd have to catch up to the rest of the unit on foot."
[20:58] Alathon: you all are a bit northeast of Okalhoma City
[20:59] Sheena: (hmm so what's the fliught path?)
[21:00] Alathon: provo to KC?
[21:00] Ken_Yamada: (...you Americans and your overcrowded continent! >:P)
[21:00] Alathon: east by southeast, around 800 miles
[21:00] Sheena: (oucch?)
[21:00] Mani: (Sending Sheena to the forward base before we go still seems the best way to me. Am I missing something obvious?)
[21:01] Alathon: the obvious thing is that you don't care about spending half a day later that much, as long as you get the captive into Senshi hands quickly
[21:01] Alathon: time spent now is more valuable than time spent then
[21:01] Alathon: as far as you know
[21:02] Reis: (Just a sec, how much EP does it cost Yuuno to go 100 miles?)
[21:02] Ken_Yamada: (Holy crap! I thought KC was like close to Carson... o_O;)
[21:02] Alathon: ((less, but he doesn't have a teleport point on this side of the rockies))
[21:02] Ken_Yamada: (Looking at a map of the US in detail for the first time here.)
[21:02] Alathon: ((he hasn't really spent a lot of time anwyhere))
[21:03] Mani: "Mm. Could have Sheena go to the base once we get back to Provo, though... Ok, let's go now."
[21:03] Alathon: ((yeah, we're halfway across the continent at this point))
[21:03] Reis: (Well, have Sheens do a one-way flight carrying him, teleport back, then run through the pattern)
[21:03] Reis: (Two hours added on only)
[21:03] Alathon: ((four hours round trip ;p ))
[21:03] Reis: (Nope, he teleports her back)
[21:04] Sheena: (isnt it a 12min trip?)
[21:04] Sheena: (there at lest)
[21:04] Mani: (There's no 100 mile increment. He doesn't have enough to do 3 1000 mile hops without a rest first.)
[21:04] Sheena: (then wait, and hour and come back)
[21:05] Mani: (If we wait an hour, Sheena can do it in 24 minutes round trip.)
[21:05] Mani: (If we go now, Sheena can teleport back here later, fly to the base to get a fix, then teleport the rest of us directly there once Yuuno's rested.)
[21:05] Reis: (An hour is just 6 EP or so)
[21:05] Reis: (That won't last long enough)
[21:05] Alathon: DM's note: don't angst over it
[21:06] Alathon: it won't decide the course of this story arc ;p
[21:06] Alathon: at most it'll mean a random encounter or two, one way or another
[21:06] Mani: "Ok, we'll go now. Do you need to do anything before we leave, Lysle?"
[21:06] Alathon: Lysle: "Ten minutes or so to run over things with Martha, Dennis, and the rest."
[21:06] * Mani nods.
[21:06] Mani: "Ok, we'll go when you get back."
[21:07] * Mani goes back to the humvee.
[21:07] Alathon: Lysle nods, and heads off, dragging a somewhat hesitant Martha with him.
[21:07] Alathon: Yuuno: "Allright.. so... Provo, then the fields south of Carson?"
[21:07] Alathon: Kuonji: "She hasn't moved an inch."
[21:07] Mani: "Don't bother sleeping yet, Sheena. We're going to go in about ten minutes and do the flight to the base on the return trip."
[21:07] * Mani nods to Kuonji.
[21:07] Mani: "Right, Yuuno."
[21:08] * Reis rouses slightly. "Ah... good to hear."
[21:09] Mani: "On the return trip, we'll go to Provo and rest. Then you can teleport back here. If it's safe, Sheena flies to the base and you get a fix there and come back to Provo and bring the rest of us to the base."
[21:09] Mani: "If it's not safe... you come back to Provo and we rethink things."
[21:10] Mani: "And if we can get a lift directly to someplace around here, all the better."
[21:10] Alathon: Yuuno: "Hmm.. that'll be like sixteen hours flying at normal speed.. but I think Sheena can manage that."
[21:10] *** Sheena is ~Pai@c-71-57-59-235.hsd1.il.comcast.net (Pai)
[21:10] *** Sheena is on: #crystaltokyo @#fukufics
[21:10] *** Sheena is using castleheck.tx.us.lunarnet.org Castle Heck, The Server of Generic Evil!
[21:10] *** Sheena has been idle 5 minutes, signed on at Tue Jun 26 17:24:48 2007
[21:10] *** End of /WHOIS.
[21:10] Mani: "I thought it was two hours."
[21:11] * Sheena jut mehs being half asleep
[21:11] Mani: "I was thinking you could teleport back to Provo from the base."
[21:11] Alathon: "I don't think she can keep her Grisly Wing up that long."
[21:11] Ken_Yamada: "Two hours if Sheena goes full grunt, sixteen if she's flying normally... Right?"
[21:11] Alathon: Yuuno: "Sure.. but we hafta get to that base first. And at like.. a bit less than a thousnd miles, that's a long flight at fifty miles an hour."
[21:12] Mani: "Hm? You teleport from Provo to here and then fly to the base."
[21:12] Alathon: Yuuno: "Reis could go with us for a bit more safety, if that's what you're worried about."
[21:12] Alathon: Yuuno: "... we could do that, as long as we're confident there won't be anybody sniffing around here."
[21:13] Alathon: Yuuno: "Me, Personally? I'd rather make a long flight through uncontested territory, than a short trip through land we know's hot."
[21:13] * Reis nods. "I'd be glad to support, though I should modify my programming a bit... I can't keep up senpai's pace for any length of time."
[21:13] * Ken_Yamada looks at Reis
[21:13] Ken_Yamada: "Programming?"
[21:13] Mani: "Mm, if you teleport in keeping an eye out for trouble, would you be able to teleport back out before anyone's likely to react to you?"
[21:14] * Reis fingers her crucifix. "I've had Swordbreaker set up for artillery purposes, and it hasn't really turned out to be USED very often..."
[21:14] Alathon: Yuuno: "Um.. not without throwing up a huge lightshow."
[21:15] Reis: (Metamagic: Quicken Spell!)
[21:15] * Ken_Yamada blinks, and nods
[21:15] Alathon: Yuuno ain't got it
[21:16] Alathon: and wouldn't have the EP to use it anyway
[21:16] Mani: "I don't care if they see you if you're gone before they can shoot at you."
[21:16] Alathon: Yuuno: "Let's just worry about that later. I get jittery hanging around near some chick Sheena actually sounds worried about."
[21:17] Ken_Yamada: "Amen to that, brother."
[21:17] Mani: "Sure. We're wating for Lysle to get back anyway."
[21:17] Alathon: Hhe, as always.. if you ust wanna wait, say so ;p
[21:17] Alathon: Lysle gets back.
[21:17] Alathon: Lysle: "I'm assuming you all can provide food and shelter in the interim?"
[21:17] Mani: (Well, from the characters' point of view, there's no reason not to discuss it until he returns. :) )
[21:18] Mani: (From my point of view, I haven't been getting nearly enough sleep lately...)
[21:18] Mani: "Of course."
[21:18] Alathon: We've spent an HOUR discussing how to manage the logistics of the situation
[21:18] Mani: (Well, believe it or not, that sort of thing is *important* to the characters, as their lives can depend on it. :p )
[21:18] Alathon: True
[21:18] Sheena: (i have had no problems with talking it over)
[21:19] Alathon: just seemed a little excessive here ;p
[21:19] Ken_Yamada: (Alathon: I've been in a game, where it took a whole day to get a combat done. Went out after my turn to go watch a movie, came back, and it was in time foir my next turn.)
[21:19] Alathon: those people sucked dick
[21:19] Alathon: sorry, but they did
[21:19] Alathon: that's not a game, that's a fucking job
[21:19] Mani: (You mean, you think that's what they were doing while he was at the movie?)
[21:19] Alathon: it's possible
[21:19] Mani: (And just acted like they were doing combat when he got back?)
[21:19] Alathon: but it wasn't the good kind of dick sucking, it was the bad kind
[21:19] Alathon: the Bubba kind
[21:19] Ken_Yamada: (The GM was an asshole who thought his interpretation of the rules was actually how the rules worked.)
[21:20] Alathon: heh
[21:20] Alathon: good RPG.net saying: no gaming is better than bad gaming
[21:20] Alathon: anyways
[21:20] Mani: (Yeah. RPGs are *not* like sex and pizza. :) )
[21:20] Alathon: Lysle: "Then I'm ready to roll."
[21:20] Ken_Yamada: "Cool."
[21:20] Mani: "Ok. Everyone out of the vehicle, please."
[21:21] Alathon: Kuonji ninja poofs out.
[21:21] Alathon: Lysle is a little startled, then hides it.
[21:21] Mani: (*watches as everyone lines up outside then taps her foot. "Forgetting something, are we?" Ken abashedly has Enigma get the prisoner out of the humvee)
[21:21] Alathon: Lysle: "You weren't kidding about teleporting."
[21:21] Sheena: "Nope
[21:21] Alathon: okay
[21:21] * Sheena grabs her gear and gets out
[21:22] Mani: "Wouldn't be a very good joke if we ended up not going anywhere."
[21:22] * Mani grins.
[21:22] Alathon: Okay
[21:22] Mani: "How's the load, Yuuno?"
[21:22] * Reis gets her things and slips out.
[21:22] Alathon: Yuuno: "Heavy. Right up against what I can manage, but, I oughta be able to."
[21:23] Mani: "Ok. If we need to lighten it, let me know."
[21:23] Alathon: Yuuno: "Only if you're leaving someone behind, and I don't quite see how to swing that."
[21:23] * Ken_Yamada does, in fact, retrieve the prisoner if people need him to.
[21:23] Mani: (No one's done it yet.)
[21:23] Alathon: Okay
[21:23] * Ken_Yamada will do so then
[21:23] Alathon: You all succeed at teleporting back to Provo.
[21:23] Alathon: Outside provo is.. different scenery, but not much.
[21:24] Alathon: Yuuno promptly teleports everyone to the next hop, south of Carson City.
[21:24] Mani: (Ok, you don't see Mani take a deep breath, close her eyes, and count to ten, then. :) )
[21:25] Mani: (Into a huge tent--the circus is in town!)
[21:25] Ken_Yamada: (Mani: "There's no place like home" *clicks heels together*, "There's no place like home" *clicks heels together*, "There's no place like home" *clicks heels together*)
[21:25] * Sheena yawns at the start and finshs as they end
[21:25] Alathon: When you get out of the teleports.. your only a few yards short of a tall patch of Corn.
[21:26] Alathon: Yuuno is lying on his belly, wheezing.
[21:26] Mani: (Mani: "I was having the most wonderful dream." <frowns> "But *you* were there, and *you* were there, and *you* were there.")
[21:26] Ken_Yamada: "You okay Yuuno?"
[21:26] * Reis crouches down to stroke Yuuno. "Sensei, are you all right?"
[21:26] Alathon: ((Mani: It was just supposed to be me and the Pink Panther!))
[21:26] * Sheena grabs yuuno up and gives him a better place to rest on her
[21:27] Sheena: "Thanks, yuuno"
[21:27] Reis: (... I assume I'm not still stroking him while he's in her cleavage.)
[21:27] Reis: (Damn the disadvantages of playing a shy character! :P )
[21:27] Alathon: Only if you don't wanna be ;p
[21:27] Ken_Yamada: (Notgonnacommentnotgonnacomment)
[21:27] Mani: "Nice work, Yuuno."
[21:27] Alathon: ((Reis: "I'm just stroking yuuno!" Sheena: "Suuuuuuure. Say, how do youf eel about threesomes?"))
[21:27] *

[Alathon]

Session 43 - part 2

[21:27] Alathon: ((Reis: "I'm just stroking yuuno!" Sheena: "Suuuuuuure. Say, how do youf eel about threesomes?"))
[21:27] * Reis blushes and pulls her hand back slightly.
[21:28] Alathon: Yuuno: "Thanks.. I'm gonna chill for a bit.."
[21:28] Ken_Yamada: ((Alathon: That's why I wasn't gonna comment. -_-))
[21:28] Alathon: Lysle is looking around, curious.
[21:28] Alathon: Lysle: "We're to the west, aren't we.. at least, a bit."
[21:28] Sheena: "A lot more then a bit"
[21:28] Mani: "Quite a bit. That's Carson City over there."
[21:28] * Ken_Yamada nods
[21:28] Alathon: Lysle shrugs.
[21:29] Alathon: Lysle: "Not that much.. the sun's higher in the sky, but it isn't noon or morning."
[21:29] Alathon: Lysle: "Not like we're on the other side of the world."
[21:29] Sheena: "Not yet at any rate"
[21:29] Mani: "Oh, that comes later."
[21:29] Reis: "No, that's next."
[21:29] * Ken_Yamada mutters, "Not yet anyway."
[21:29] Alathon: Lysle grins.
[21:29] Alathon: Lysle: "Right."
[21:30] Mani: "... Now that we're done with the chorus..."
[21:30] * Mani looks around for any sign of a welcoming party.
[21:31] Ken_Yamada: ((*AL Cappone suddenly bursts out of the fields with his goons!*))
[21:31] Mani: "Sakura, could you scout around. The natives would *not* take Lysle's appearance well, I think."
[21:31] * Sheena pets yuuno some and holds herself out a bit ro reis can do so as well
[21:31] Sheena: "Don't stop on my account'
[21:31] Alathon: Kuonji vanishes.
[21:31] Alathon: Kuonji's voice: "Hai, Taichou."
[21:31] Alathon: Lysle notices Kuonji vanishes,and looks around in vain, trying to spot him.
[21:32] Mani: "Stealth is his specialty."
[21:32] * Mani smiles.
[21:32] * Reis reddens and edges her hand a bit closer, but doesn't quite make it all the way.
[21:32] * Ken_Yamada looks at Reis...
[21:32] Mani: "Reis, could you come here for a moment."
[21:32] Ken_Yamada: "Umm... What're you doing?"
[21:33] Alathon: ((Guys really do have a lot of trouble portraying credible lesbians, don't they ;p ))
[21:33] Mani: (Yes.)
[21:33] Ken_Yamada: ((Yes.))
[21:33] * Sheena pushes her shades up a bit then ingores ken
[21:34] Alathon: ((it's because we empathize with them.. we love the idea of fucking women, and figure if they like fucking women, they must be more like us))
[21:34] * Reis nods and drops her hand in relief, going over to Mani.
[21:34] Sheena: (whats sex got to do with it?)
[21:34] Alathon: ((everything, IMO))
[21:34] Reis: (Sorry?)
[21:34] Sheena: (mabie sheena just wanted yuuno to get his pets in?)
[21:34] Alathon: ((eh, I have no objection to your playing your characters as very sexually aggressive)
[21:34] Alathon: ((it's just.. 95% of bisexual or lesbian female characters in RPGs are playd that way, mine included))
[21:34] Ken_Yamada: (Hmm... not really. I've never been interested in sex, so it's more weird to me than anything else.)
[21:34] Mani: (It's pretty sickening in PW's game, though...)
[21:35] Mani: (Anyway...)
[21:35] Sheena: (What? No one belives she innoncly wants yuuno petted?)
[21:35] Mani: "How are you feeling? Did you manage to get enough rest for the moment?"
[21:35] Sheena: (Hey! Totaly not my falt. Jane dont even have a freaking sex drive
[21:35] Mani: (Just a hard drive. :) )
[21:35] Ken_Yamada: (Yeah... She can't afford one yet. ;P)
[21:36] * Reis frowns. "I'm not ready for lasting combat, but, I've got a BIT in me."
[21:36] Alathon: ((Jane: "I didn't know people still used 3.5 inch floppies."
[21:36] Reis: (How many hours has it been since the fight? 2, 3?)
[21:36] Alathon: Two
[21:36] Mani: (Jane: "Oh, look--a thumb drive!")
[21:36] Ken_Yamada: ((Jane: Do you wanna establish a TCP/IP connection, or are you just happy to see me?))
[21:37] * Mani nods.
[21:37] Mani: "Good."
[21:37] Alathon: ((still, in all fairness, there ARE lesbian sluts out there in the world. they're just over-represented in cross-gender RPGs ;p ))
[21:37] Mani: (Lower percentage than straight ones.)
[21:37] Alathon: Yuuno: "So.. how long until Usagi gets here?"
[21:37] Reis: (That does sound reasonable)
[21:38] Alathon: ((you're still talking hundreds of thousands))
[21:38] Sheena: (sheena's gotton laied twice in the last few months and she's a slut?)
[21:38] Mani: "I'm not sure. She has to make her way through the city to get here."
[21:38] Sheena: "No idea,"
[21:39] Alathon: ((it's more the "touch my body" conduct that projects that))
[21:39] Mani: (By the way she acts, she seems like one.)
[21:39] Mani: (Regardless of how often she actually has sex.)
[21:39] Sheena: (to one person?)
[21:40] Mani: (And the whole thing with her breasts.)
[21:40] Reis: (It COULD be her being dense :P )
[21:40] Ken_Yamada: (Actually, can we break for lunch/whatever? I wanna go and grab a light lunch.)
[21:40] Alathon: Yuuno: "Does she actually know where we are, exactly?"
[21:40] Mani: (Food break once the princess gets here?)
[21:40] Alathon: Yuuno: "I don't think we've ever teleported with her to this exact point."
[21:40] Sheena: "Crap, your right"
[21:40] Alathon: ((depends, how long are we all good to go))
[21:41] Alathon: ((hate to burn 20 minutes if we only have an hour of time))
[21:41] Mani: "She might not..."
[21:41] Sheena: (im good for a while)
[21:41] * Mani sends a text message asking her to say when she's out the south gate so we can guide her to our location.
[21:41] Ken_Yamada: (I am too)
[21:42] Mani: (Beats me how long I'm good for.)
[21:42] Mani: (Sakura done scouting yet?)
[21:42] Alathon: He'll return shortly, and inform you that there's nobody around.
[21:42] Alathon: Whoever owns this field is either done for the day (kidna early) or somewhere else.
[21:43] Mani: (How far are we from the gate, btw?)
[21:43] Alathon: Several hours.
[21:43] Alathon: on foot.
[21:43] Mani: (How about at speed 1?)
[21:43] Alathon: you can't all do speed 1
[21:43] Mani: (Just need to send one person to guide her to us.)
[21:43] Sheena: "Some one message the boss?"
[21:44] Mani: "Just did."
[21:44] * Sheena strechs some
[21:44] Sheena: "I can go met her if need be"
[21:44] Sheena: "Top speed for this distance is simple"
[21:44] Mani: "Shouldn't be far even at your normal speed."
[21:45] Alathon: like five minutes or less at 50 mph
[21:45] Ken_Yamada: (Okay, gotta help mom with heavy lifting. So I'm afk for a bit)
[21:46] Ken_Yamada: (Sorry about this. :( )
[21:46] Mani: "I asked her to let us know when she's at the gate."
[21:46] Mani: (No problem. Let us know when you're done spotting.)
[21:47] Sheena: (ouc)
[21:48] * Mani checks her comm.
[21:48] Mani: "Never mind, she can find us."
[21:50] Alathon: In a couple hours, she will.
[21:50] Alathon: and, I'm game for a food break
[21:50] Alathon: we restart on the hour
[21:50] Alathon: which is in 10 minutes
[21:57] * Mani pours herself a glass of wine.
[21:57] Mani: This should help me think more clearly...
[21:58] Alathon: Look on the bright side, it'll help make you more psychologically capable of ignoring hte vicious brutality Usagi is about to inflict on a helpless prisoner
[21:59] Mani: Lylse hears what she wants to imply and refuses to have any part in it, deciding that CT is lacking in the ethics.
[22:01] Mani: Hm. Spicy wine.
[22:01] Alathon: Alright.
[22:02] Alathon: Usagi will arrive; she's wearing a standard Espionage uniform, tan, with no markings.
[22:02] Mani: "Ma'am."
[22:02] Alathon: Usagi: "Mani."
[22:03] Alathon: She'll greet the rest, and Lysle, doa quick examination of the prisoner, and promptly teleport the lot of you somewhere.
[22:03] Mani: (Usagi: "Why are the others just standing there staring into space?")
[22:03] Sheena: "Ma'am"
[22:03] * Reis greets Usagi.
[22:03] * Sheena while standing back up from sitting on the air
[22:04] Mani: (You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike.)
[22:04] Sheena: (
[22:04] Sheena: (>_<)
[22:06] Alathon: You're actually in.. crystal tokyo.
[22:06] Alathon: At least, it sure seems that way.
[22:06] Alathon: Based on the lighting, decor, etc.
[22:07] Alathon: Usagi, to Lysle: "Welcome to Crystal Tokyo. We're inside a Justice building.. that is, one of the buildings used by the branch of our government than handles criminals."
[22:07] * Reis eyes Lysle's response.
[22:07] * Sheena looks around a bit and hmm's
[22:07] Alathon: Usagi: "Best we have for this purpose, as we can have the procedings recorded for later analysis."
[22:07] Reis: ("I know this building well.")
[22:07] Alathon: The room is moderately large, but spare.
[22:08] Alathon: Larger than a comfortable livingroom, smaller than an auditorium.
[22:08] Alathon: There are rows of folding chairs set up, as wel as a couple tables.
[22:09] Mani: (Did she introduce herself by name to Lysle?)
[22:09] Alathon: Usagi promptly heads over to the front row of chairs and pulls one off the edge, setting it in a corner of the room, facing out.
[22:09] Alathon: ((she did back before teleporting.. didn'tw anna runt hrough more NPC-to-NPC talk))
[22:09] Mani: (Ok, I just wanted to verify it.)
[22:10] Alathon: Usagi: "Allright.. bring her over here, and strip her."
[22:10] Alathon: Usagi: "I've got a couple pairs of handcuffs."
[22:10] Alathon: She issues this to the general party, nobody in particular.
[22:10] * Mani frowns slightly and does so.
[22:10] Alathon: Lysle doesn't seem eager to do it.
[22:12] Alathon: It'll take some work.. but other than her uniform, and underclothes, she doesn't seem to have anything else with her.
[22:12] Sheena: "Hmmm.. no device then?"
[22:12] Sheena: "Or are the rings really it"
[22:12] Alathon: Kuonji and Lysle both seem to look away a bit.
[22:13] Alathon: Usagi will, with Mani's assistance, sit the woman on the chair, and cuff her arms and legs crosswise behind it.
[22:13] * Reis frowns a bit, gnawing on her lip.
[22:13] Alathon: i.e. left arm to right ankle, and vice versa. it's quite uncomfortable.
[22:14] Alathon: She takes a moment to examine her.. lifts one of her eyelids.. etc.
[22:14] Alathon: Then heads back to the party, which is presumably milling a bit away.
[22:14] * Mani follows.
[22:15] * Sheena fixs her gloves and shades a bit
[22:15] Alathon: She looks back to the woman for a moment, focusing intently.. for almost thirty seconds.
[22:16] Alathon: Usagi: "I've silenced the area around here; she won't hear a word we say."
[22:16] Alathon: Usagi waits a moment, then continues.
[22:16] * Mani nods.
[22:16] Alathon: Usagi: "Now, I'd like to make one thing absolutely, crystal, clear."
[22:16] Alathon: Usagi: "If we can't get anything out of her, I'll execute her. No more, no less.. no retribution."
[22:16] * Reis pays attention.
[22:16] Alathon: Usagi seems to be addressing this to Lysle.
[22:17] Alathon: Lysle: "Fine by me, I'd do the same."
[22:17] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[22:17] Alathon: Usagi: "Good."
[22:17] Sheena: "Now was interesting"
[22:17] Sheena: *that
[22:17] * Mani has a stony expression on her face.
[22:18] Alathon: Usagi: "I'll handle any coercion. Myself, and nobody else."
[22:18] Alathon: Usagi: "Is that clear?"
[22:18] Sheena: "Yes ma'am"
[22:18] Alathon: Kuonji: "Hai."
[22:18] Mani: "Yes."
[22:18] * Reis nods.
[22:18] Alathon: Ken: "Of course."
[22:18] Alathon: Lysle: "Fine by me."
[22:18] Sheena: "I may have to translate, She only spoke abyssal in the battle"
[22:18] Alathon: Usagi nods to Sheena.
[22:18] Ken_Yamada: (Back)
[22:19] Alathon: Usagi: "I'd appreciate it if you would.. but we should absolutely not assume that she is not capable of understanding us."
[22:19] Alathon: Usagi: "Don't say anything in english, or japanese, that you don't want heard. If you need to ask it secretly, motion, and I'll set up a field of silence."
[22:20] Alathon: Usagi: "And.."
[22:20] Alathon: Usagi: "Forgive me, but I'd appreciate it if you two could set your shyness aside for the duration, and keep your eyes on her."
[22:20] Alathon: She addresses this to Kuonji and Lysle.
[22:21] Alathon: Usagi: "I want her feeling off balance, uncomfortable, intimidated, and exposed."
[22:21] * Ken_Yamada raises a hand.
[22:21] * Mani asks flatly, "And try not to look ashamed or embarrassed?"
[22:21] Alathon: Usagi: "Exactly."
[22:21] Mani: "Or horrified."
[22:21] Alathon: ((er, Ken, Kuonji, and Lysle))
[22:21] * Ken_Yamada nods
[22:21] * Sheena summons dark heart to her side and grabs the staff, getting into scary magicalgirl mode
[22:21] Sheena: "Can do"
[22:21] Alathon: Usagi: 'I'm not going to be torturing her, if that's what you're asking."
[22:21] Ken_Yamada: "On the matter of her being able to understand us..."
[22:21] Alathon: Usagi: "Well... that's a lie. What we're doing is essentially torture."
[22:21] Ken_Yamada: "Would it be safe to assume she can read lips too?"
[22:22] Alathon: Usagi: "Yes, Ken."
[22:22] Mani: "No, but you want her to think we're willing to do horrible things to her."
[22:22] Alathon: Usagi, to Mani: "Exactly."
[22:22] Alathon: Usagi: "Keep in mind, there's a double edged sword here.."
[22:22] Alathon: Usagi: "If she really is part of some sort of mercenary team, she's likedly been exposed to.. well.. a wide variety of what life has to offer."
[22:22] Alathon: Usagi: "That may mean she's hardened to it.. or that she's particularly sensitive just to how far sentient beings can go."
[22:22] Alathon: Usagi: "We can't really know either way beforehand."
[22:23] Mani: "And if she does answer your questions?"
[22:23] Alathon: Lysle looks intent at this.
[22:23] Alathon: Usagi: "I don't know."
[22:23] Alathon: Usagi: "Any agreement would be contingent on her no longer being a factor in the war."
[22:23] Alathon: Usagi: "Enforceably so."
[22:24] Sheena: "Take away her device, if that is her type of magic"
[22:24] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[22:24] Alathon: Usagi: "If she has one, I'll attempt to get it."
[22:24] Alathon: Usagi: "Though.. I'm not entirely sure we should mention it, if she doesn't know we anticpate her having such a device."
[22:25] Mani: "Do you want us to talk at all?"
[22:25] Alathon: Usagi: "You're welcome to."
[22:25] Alathon: usagi: "Nothing sensitive or of any strategic value."
[22:25] Alathon: Usagi: "If something springs to your mind, that you feel I should ask, by all means suggest it."
[22:25] * Mani glances briefly at Ken and Reis.
[22:25] Mani: "Do you want all of us here?"
[22:26] Alathon: Usagi, to Mani: "Yes."
[22:26] Alathon: Usagi: "This is the sort of thing you all may need to handle without me in the future."
[22:26] * Reis frowns and nods.
[22:26] * Ken_Yamada nods with a grim expression
[22:27] * Sheena isnt suprised, just figered the boss wanted first dibs
[22:27] Alathon: Usagi: "Any questions?"
[22:27] Sheena: "No,Ma'am"
[22:27] Alathon: Usagi looks over to Sheena.
[22:27] Ken_Yamada: "None."
[22:27] Alathon: Usagi: "Her name is Myshaella, correct?"
[22:27] Alathon: She pronounces it carefully.
[22:28] * Mani looks at the others.
[22:28] Mani: "Don't feel you *need* to say anything, though."
[22:28] Sheena: "Well, she wont be happy to see me. Last thing she saw was me driving her into the ground"
[22:29] * Sheena smirks a bit
[22:29] * Mani nods, looking grim.
[22:29] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[22:29] * Reis frowns. "And I'm pretty sure she was spouting some rather impressive insults at me..."
[22:29] Alathon: Usagi: "Do your best to translate what I say, and what she says, in the spirit of what is meant."
[22:29] * Ken_Yamada says nothing
[22:29] Alathon: Usagi: "All right."
[22:29] Sheena: "Word for word boss, or as best im able to"
[22:30] Alathon: Usagi looks over towards the woman, and concentrates a moment, before walking over to her.
[22:30] Alathon: "Come stand over here.. in a circle around her, the seven of us, from wall to wall."
[22:30] * Sheena follows with dark heart at her side
[22:30] Alathon: The woman being situated on a folding chair in the corner.
[22:30] * Ken_Yamada does so
[22:30] * Reis nods and moves into a place/
[22:30] * Mani takes her position.
[22:31] Alathon: SHe's in... an embarassing position. Not one anyone with any modesty would willingly assume, and presumably, not one anyone who feared muscle cramps would assume either.
[22:31] * Sheena takes her place and lets dark heart pull in the light from near her
[22:32] Alathon: Usagi walks over, and reaches into.. somewhere.. and brings out a thing of duct tape. She promptly duct tapes Myshaella's mouth shut.
[22:32] Alathon: She then reaches out and places a glowing hand just below her neck.. seconds pass by...
[22:32] Sheena: (Usagi's been watching moveis with the outers again)
[22:32] Alathon: ((that, or she's been in charge of controlling CT's dissedents for centuries.. you never know ;p ))
[22:33] Mani: (So, was this how Tsukasa was interrogated? :) )
[22:33] Alathon: After a minute or so.. she stops. And waits.
[22:33] Alathon: ((No, that involved lots of leather and silicon ;p ))
[22:33] Ken_Yamada: (o_O)
[22:33] Sheena: (sheena: Tuska! And younever told me! *sobs*)
[22:34] Alathon: Then heals her some more... and waits..
[22:34] Reis: (... Wow, I missed that apparently)
[22:34] Alathon: Then heals her some more... and waits..
[22:34] Alathon: ((I didn't want to burden you with an overly traumatic in-character experience))
[22:34] Alathon: Eventually, she starts to come around, and Usagi promptly slaps her.
[22:34] Alathon: Usagi looks back to Sheena.
[22:34] Alathon: Usagi: "Tell her to wake the fuck up."
[22:34] Reis: (Heh, it makes some sense too. They don't really give a damn why she did it, they just give her the chance for her excuse and otherwise kill her :P )
[22:35] Alathon: Usagi looks... unpleasant. Not the sort of look you want to see on someone who sits one step from rulership.
[22:36] * Ken_Yamada keeps his rim expression
[22:36] Ken_Yamada: ^grim
[22:37] * Sheena In abyssal "Hey bitch, Wake up and gets a good look a hell"
[22:38] * Sheena taunts
[22:38] Alathon: Myshaella blinks.. focuses her eyes.. gets a look around.
[22:38] Alathon: Myshaella: "mm... mmm.. mmmpph!"
[22:38] Alathon: She struggles a bit, trying to free herself. That doesn't happen.
[22:38] Alathon: She the closes her eyes, and seems to concentrate for a moment.
[22:38] Alathon: Nothing happens.
[22:38] * Sheena grins
[22:39] Reis: (If it did: 'Swordbreaker.' "Alt Forst." :P )
[22:39] Alathon: Usagi: "Tell her, if she attempts to escape, she'll be killed, no questions asked, and to nod if she understands this."
[22:39] * Sheena tell her word for word
[22:39] * Reis nods to herself in thought.
[22:40] Alathon: Myshaella struggles for a few seconds more, then stops.. waits a few seconds.. and nods.
[22:40] Alathon: Usagi: "Good."
[22:40] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[22:40] Alathon: Usag reaches out and grabs her chin, and forces her to meet Usagi's eyes.
[22:41] Alathon: Usagi: "Tell her, the only reason she isn't a rotting corpse right now, is that she just might know something we want to know. Tell her to nod if she understands this."
[22:42] * Sheena can't keep an evil grin off her face from the way her boss is acting and explanes to Mysaella what Usagi said
[22:42] Alathon: Myshaella tries to nod.. and fails. She can't move her head.
[22:42] Alathon: Usagi: "Tell her she'd better nod in the next few seconds, or I might just decide she doesn't know anything."
[22:43] Sheena: "umm.. boss. She can't move her head your holding it"
[22:43] * Sheena tell her any way
[22:43] Alathon: Usagi looks back to Sheena.
[22:43] Alathon: Usagi: "What's your point?"
[22:43] Alathon: Myshaella tries to nod again.. and can't.
[22:44] Alathon: Usagi: "Tell her, if she's got anything of value to tell us, anything that just might mitigate our desire to see her worthless, murdering corpse swinging from a rope, that she's got seconds to relate it, before I twist her head a hundred and eighty degrees to the right."
[22:44] Alathon: Usagi keeps a firm grip on her jaw.
[22:45] * Sheena repeats usagi's lines word for word while dark heart flashs to the princess tone
[22:46] Alathon: Myshaella's eyes seem a bit wider at this point, though her expression isn't particularly scared.. and she's trying to nod, real hard.
[22:46] Alathon: Usagi lets go of her head abruptly, allowing her to nod vigerously for several seconds, before she cathers herself and stops."
[22:46] Alathon: Usagi: "Okay.."
[22:47] Alathon: Usagi reaches up, and carefully pulls the duct tape off her mouth. This doesn't look like it's much fun, but it's probably better than having it ripped off in one go.
[22:47] Alathon: Myshaella: "xxxxxx!"
[22:47] Alathon: Myshaella: "xx xxxx xxxxxx xx xxxxxx!"
[22:48] Sheena: "Ransom?"
[22:48] Alathon: She looks vaguely hopeful.
[22:48] Alathon: Usagi looks over to Sheena.
[22:48] * Sheena says questionly
[22:48] Alathon: Usagi: "Huh?"
[22:49] Sheena: "She said that the Skybolt's will pay ransom for her"
[22:51] Alathon: Usagi: "Huh."
[22:51] Alathon: Usagi: "Ask her how much she thinks she's worth."
[22:51] * Reis blinks, watching the proceedings.
[22:51] Sheena: abyssly: "Who would pay for some one worthless like you? Just how much do you think your worth?"
[22:52] Alathon: Myshaella: "xxxxxx! xxx, xxxxx xxxxxx... xxxx"
[22:52] Reis: (Wonder if that last one was '... I think.')
[22:53] Alathon: ((heh))
[22:53] * Sheena goes over that for a moment
[22:54] Sheena: "She thinks she's worth quite a bit, she said ""The 'bolts will pay"
[22:54] Alathon: Lysle laughs
[22:54] Sheena: "hmm, twelve hundred slews or fifteen hundred"
[22:55] Alathon: Lysle: "Who says we shouldn't take it out of her hide!"
[22:55] Alathon: He looks at her, hard.
[22:55] * Sheena looks pissed at that
[22:55] Alathon: Usagi looks over, and mouths the word 'slew?'.
[22:55] Sheena: "I didn't send my report in yet boss. A Slew is a mesurment of live force"
[22:56] Reis: "Standard Life Force Unit, I believe it's an acronym for."
[22:56] Mani: (She's seen the recording of the dinner with Celeste.)
[22:56] Sheena: "They use it as money"
[22:56] Alathon: Usagi looks back to Myshaella with a cold look on her face.
[22:56] Sheena: "As in life force they rip from people, or gather from kills"
[22:56] Alathon: Usagi: "Tell her, we won't accept blood in payment for blood spilled.. except her own."
[22:57] Reis: (Tsukasa: "Um, or our own.")
[22:57] * Sheena glars and repeats what the princess said
[22:57] Alathon: Myshaella: "xxx xxxxxx, xx xxxxx, xxx xxxxxx."
[22:58] Ken_Yamada: (I've been meaning to ask Al... do you actually have an Abyssal speech script? :P)
[22:59] Alathon: No, that'd be a whole lot of effort, for very little return.
[22:59] Sheena: "Now she's offering rare metals, Platinum, Gundanium?.. and others"
[22:59] Alathon: Usag, smirking: "Well, at least she has something to offer that we'd actually be willing to accept."
[22:59] Sheena: (sheena's gona need to loot some gundanium)
[23:00] Mani: (It's what they make gundams out of.)
[23:00] Alathon: Myshaella: "xxxxx! xxxxx, xxx xxxxxxxxxx."
[23:00] * Reis wonders what 'gundanium' is supposed to be.
[23:00] * Ken_Yamada wonders what Gundanium is...
[23:01] Sheena: (sheena can take a gundam)
[23:01] Sheena: (well.. one of the wussy ones, like that gay dude from the deser)
[23:01] Alathon: ((ironically.. of all the gundams, Sandrock is probably the one you're the most poorly equipped to take on))
[23:01] Sheena: (true, fraggin meleee)
[23:02] Alathon: ((it's got autofire machineguns and shit tons of armor, as well as melee weapons when it runs out of bullets))
[23:02] Ken_Yamada: ((Pity we won't be getting any mechs. Ah well...))
[23:02] Alathon: ((that's not a likely turn for this campaign, no0)
[23:02] Reis: (Getting to FIGHT, though...)
[23:02] Alathon: get the PM sheena?
[23:03] Sheena: "Oh here we go, She quite insisting that the ransom is only good if she is alive and undamage"
[23:03] Alathon: Usagi: "Oh, that's rich."
[23:03] * Sheena lets the darkness flood around her abit more
[23:03] Alathon: Lysle flips off his leather jacket and holds it in the air.
[23:03] Alathon: It has three two-inch wide holes in the back.
[23:03] Alathon: Lysle: "This sure as shit ain't undamaged."
[23:04] * Ken_Yamada looks at it, and looks at the captive with a glare
[23:04] Alathon: Lysle: "And neither were some of the folks she hit."
[23:04] Alathon: Lysle glares daggers at her.
[23:04] Alathon: Myshaella tries her best to look appologetic.. but it totally looks contrived.
[23:05] * Ken_Yamada cracks his knuckles
[23:05] Reis: (I can imagine. "Uh... Sorry you were so weak?")
[23:05] Alathon: Usagi: "Tell her.. we care a lot less about stuff like that, than something more useful.. like information."
[23:06] * Mani smirks, starting to look amused.
[23:06] Sheena: Abyssal: It seems they dont care much for stuff like that. Something more usefull will be needed. Like Information.
[23:06] Alathon: Her expression hardens.
[23:07] Alathon: Myshaella: "xxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxx xxx. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx x xxx xxxx xx xxxxx xxxxx"
[23:07] * Sheena as does sheena'a expect for the grin that reaching insane levels on her face
[23:08] * Reis cocks her head and awaits translation.
[23:08] * Ken_Yamada figures it amounts to a whole load of 'fuck you'
[23:08] Sheena: "Hmm, now thats a loaded one... give me amin"
[23:08] * Sheena works on it for abit
[23:09] Sheena: (and repeats what al said.. heh)
[23:09] Sheena: "I got, Guild Mercs don't roll over on their employers and hand out classified data. The guild can do worse to us than you can, in this life or the next."
[23:09] Alathon: Usagi turns her head away from the captive in time to hide the genuinely curious expression on her face.
[23:10] * Mani stares intently at Myshaella.
[23:10] Mani: "Be interesting to find out."
[23:10] Alathon: Usagi seems to think this over a bit.
[23:11] Sheena: (starting to wonder if dark heart has a way to gather slew now..)
[23:11] *** DCG has joined #crystaltokyo.
[23:11] *** Sheena has signed off IRC (Connection reset by peer).
[23:12] Reis: (Welcome back. We got your wondrance on slews)
[23:12] Ken_Yamada: (*Hands Sheena back over to DCG*)
[23:12] *** DCG is now known as SHeena.
[23:12] SHeena: that was the last bit
[23:12] Mani: (This is hangover Sheena. She wants you to be quiet.)
[23:13] Alathon: ((doh))
[23:13] Alathon: ((didn't miss anything))
[23:13] Alathon: Usagi: "Ask her, who is her employer."
[23:15] SHeena: Abyssal: "Who's your employer?"
[23:15] Alathon: Myshaella: "xxxxxxxxxx."
[23:15] SHeena: "Odd word, must be a name. ""Addington" "
[23:16] Alathon: Usagi: "Huh. Don't know it."
[23:16] Alathon: Usagi: "Hmm.. ask her, what nation does this Addington represent."
[23:17] SHeena: Abyssal: "What nation does Addington represent?"
[23:18] Alathon: Myshaella: "United States xxx Texas xxx"
[23:18] Alathon: Usagi, with her face to the party rather than Myashella, widens her eyes, then grins.
[23:18] Reis: (I wonder what the abyssal in there was...)
[23:18] Alathon: Usagi: "Hmm.. now I'm curious, ask her how she can tell us that, and not be rolling over on her employers."
[23:19] * SHeena leans on dark heart a bit while telling Myshaella what the boss wants to know
[23:19] *** Ataru has joined #crystaltokyo.
[23:19] Alathon: Myshaella, contemtuously: "xxx xxxx xxxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxx xxx xxxxxxxxxx xxx."
[23:19] Alathon: ((sup ataru))
[23:19] Reis: (Yo Ataru)
[23:20] Ataru: (holy shit)
[23:20] SHeena: (who did you hax now?)
[23:20] Ataru: (I've been trying to get on since fucking 5:30 PST)
[23:20] Ataru: (>_<)
[23:20] *** Ataru is now known as Kuonji.
[23:20] Reis: (Fuuuuuck. Bad internet, huh?)
[23:21] Kuonji: (yeah, I found ONE unprotected wifi network)
[23:21] Alathon: ((the scene is this.. the party, the captive (Myshaella), Usagi, and Lysle, have been teleported to a Crystal Tokyo Justice building))
[23:21] Kuonji: (but the connection is total shit, so sometimes it works, sometimes it don't)
[23:21] Alathon: ((Myshaella is naked, spread-eagled againsta folding chair, her arms and legs handcuffed together behind her back. She's being interrogated by Usagi, with Sheena interpreting.))
[23:21] SHeena: "Thats an interesting way of looking at things"
[23:21] *** SHeena is now known as Sheena.
[23:22] *** KotatsuNeko has joined #crystaltokyo.
[23:22] Sheena: "She said there mercenaries, not assassins, So things like there name, the company they work for,and there employer are not considered secreats"
[23:22] KotatsuNeko: (>_<)
[23:24] Alathon: ((sup.. we've got a game going, you're welcome to observe as an audience))
[23:24] Alathon: Usagi: "Huh."
[23:24] Reis: (That's Ataru :P )
[23:24] Ken_Yamada: (That's ataru dude)
[23:24] Alathon: ((it is? when'd he change from kuonji to konatsuneko?)
[23:24] Alathon: ((oh nevermind))
[23:24] *** Kuonji has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[23:25] Alathon: ((ghost y our old nick as soona syou get on pls))
[23:25] Alathon: Usagi: "So... if we want more.. we'll have to squeeze her something fierce."
[23:25] *** KotatsuNeko is now known as Kuonji.
[23:25] Kuonji: (it would need to be registered for me to ghost it)
[23:26] * Sheena just hmms
[23:26] Mani: "Mmmm..."
[23:26] * Mani is still watching her intently.
[23:26] Alathon: ((fucking register it dammit))
[23:26] Alathon: ((or somebody will steal it))
[23:26] Alathon: ((you know, kinda like how someone grabbed sakura?))
[23:26] * Reis gestures to Usagi.
[23:27] Alathon: Usagi loks back at her for a moment, considerignly...
[23:27] Kuonji: ("Bring out the gimp.")
[23:28] Alathon: Usagi: "Ask her if she can discuss the guild."
[23:28] Sheena: Abyssal: " Can you talk about this guild of yours?"
[23:28] Alathon: Myshaella: "xxxx xxxx".
[23:28] * Sheena nods to usagi
[23:29] Alathon: Usagi: "Ask her if she can discuss the market the guild operates in."
[23:29] Alathon: Usagi " Or rather.."
[23:29] Alathon: Usagi: "Ask her if she can discuss what the guild's current market is like."
[23:29] Sheena: Abyssl: "Can you discuss what the guilds current market is like?"
[23:30] Alathon: myshaella: "xxxxxxxxxxxx."
[23:30] Alathon: Myshaella: "xxxxx xxxx xxxxxxx"
[23:32] * Sheena riases an eyebrow at that.
[23:32] Sheena: "She said ""Absolutely", then wanted to know what it was worth to us."
[23:32] Alathon: Usagi: "Your continued, undamaged, existance."
[23:33] Reis: ("Hm... Maybe the chance for (Insert torment here) to use on you? Bear in mind we are VERY creative." :P )
[23:33] * Sheena grins again and passing on what the boss said word for word
[23:34] Alathon: Myshaella pauses for a few moments, then nods.
[23:34] Alathon: End here.
[23:35] Sheena: awww
[23:35] Alathon: to be clear, this scene would continue for quite a while
[23:35] Sheena: sheena was having fun
[23:35] Reis: ... I hope we get a datadump rather than a cliffhanger :P
[23:35] Alathon: but it honestly wouldn't involve participation by most of you
[23:35] *** Kuonji is now known as Ataru.
[23:35] *** Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf.
[23:35] Alathon: so it's gonna be fast-forwarded from this point
[23:35] *** Ken_Yamada is now known as Rockman_Zero.
[23:35] * Rockman_Zero feels like an idiot...
[23:35] Rockman_Zero: I know she's an NPC.
[23:35] Rockman_Zero: I know she isn't even REAL!
[23:36] Rockman_Zero: But damnit, I still feel so damn sorry for her.
[23:36] Rockman_Zero: ><;
[23:36] Alathon: you should
[23:36] * Rockman_Zero wishes he wasn't such a naive idiot....
[23:36] Alathon: ... it's not naive to feel compassion for people who are being treated like shit
[23:36] Alathon: even people who are being treated like shit ofr a reason
[23:37] *** Mani is now known as Yarrow.
[23:37] Rockman_Zero: I know... And heck, if someone like her went around killing people, I'd be all for justice as well.
[23:37] Alathon: of course.. where does justice stop, and vengeance start
[23:38] Rockman_Zero: Yeah...
[23:38] Alathon: and just how much is acceptable in the name of National Security
[23:38] Alathon: these are especially pressing questions for those of us in the States
[23:38] *** Ataru has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[23:38] Rockman_Zero: I know... I know all the logic behind it and stuff.
[23:38] Rockman_Zero: Doesn't make me feel any better about it. But that's life I guess.
[23:39] * Rockman_Zero sighs.
[23:40] Rockman_Zero: Sorry, I just have issues with RPing torture scenes and stuff... Combat is one thing, that though is another.
[23:40] Rockman_Zero: I can deal though.
[23:40] Rockman_Zero: -_-
[23:40] Alathon: ... I didn't go any further than I did, because I think most of us aren't comfortable with torture
[23:40] Alathon: even in purely fictional circumstances
[23:40] * Rockman_Zero feels it wouldn't be too ooc for ken to go and have a few drinks after this though...
[23:40] Rockman_Zero: Yeah.
[23:41] Alathon: not to mention, because the authorities in question do have standards
[23:41] Alathon: and no.. it's certainly be something for the party to think about.. that Usagi apparently considers this sort of scene,t o be something they should be responsible for handling in the future.
[23:41] Rockman_Zero: I've meen in a D&D game where they used what I call 'the black book'
[23:41] Rockman_Zero: I think you know the one I'm talking about.
[23:42] Sheena: usagi's a crouptive person
[23:42] Alathon: is that the Book of Vile Darkness? or just generally tring to drive everyone to the point wher they squick
[23:42] Sheena: sheena had no ideas about "questing" pepople
[23:42] Rockman_Zero: Sheena: No, Usagi's a realist, who doesn't believe in sugar-coating reality.
[23:42] Sheena: but now she's got planty
[23:42] Rockman_Zero: Alathon: Got it in one.
[23:43] Rockman_Zero: That GM was a sick and twisted bastard
[23:43] Pale_Wolf: Which one, former or latter?
[23:43] Rockman_Zero: Former
[23:44] Rockman_Zero: Then again, the latter too... If I didn't know anyt better, I'd say he really WAS trying to learn what we had for breakfast.
[23:45] Rockman_Zero: Mind you, it was one of the few games I liked, once I learned to block out the hideously graphic stuff...
[23:45] Alathon: well.. some people lovre gaming that stuff
[23:45] Alathon: running Cthulu campaigns, etc
[23:45] Alathon: I'm no fan of that genre, so, whatever
[23:45] Rockman_Zero: Indeed. Neither am I.
[23:45] Alathon: Yarrow, as the only actual woman here, did I take that scene too far?
[23:46] Yarrow: It didn't seem to go really far. There wasn't much of a real sense of fear or menace.
[23:47] Yarrow: There was potential for it at the beginning, but it dropped off really sharply after that.
[23:47] *** Ataru has joined #crystaltokyo.
[23:47] Alathon: okay, good
[23:47] Rockman_Zero: I do admit, I was kinda worried about Usagi at the start.
[23:47] Alathon: I'm willing to accept not being "real" enough, in return for not squicking players
[23:47] Alathon: last line, ataru?
[23:47] Rockman_Zero: Alathon: Look, it was fine.
[23:48] Rockman_Zero: I'm just an idiot for letting it all get to me too damn much. =_=
[23:48] Yarrow: Personally, I think it seems like it's heading toward reasonable and relatively civilized.
[23:48] Alathon: Eh, that's not entirely a bad thing
[23:48] Ataru: T_T
[23:48] Ataru: <Ataru> and I just got on NOW >_<
[23:48] Ataru: * Disconnected
[23:49] Yarrow: Wow. Just go to bed, Ataru...
[23:49] Sheena: Sheena: So when to we break out the hot pokers and thumb screws?
[23:49] Ataru: I'm on the west coast
[23:49] Alathon: okay
[23:49] Alathon: last line you got from us
[23:49] Alathon: we didn't see that one
[23:49] Ataru: <Alathon> but it honestly wouldn't involve participation by most of you
[23:50] Ataru: wait, what's this about people being "squicked"?
[23:50] Alathon: PM'd
[23:50] Alathon: well
[23:50] Alathon: the scene involved a female captive being spread-eagled naked against a folding chair, with multiple men there, including one Harleyrider male by request of Usagi
[23:51] Alathon: for the "am I going to be raped?" factor
[23:51] Yarrow: Of course, what happens when she doesn't want to say something Usagi really wants to know is where it'll get 'interesting'.
[23:51] Alathon: that's a fairly ugly concept, even in fiction

Sessoin 44

[18:04] Alathon: anyways
[18:04] Alathon: we left off last week mid-interrogation
[18:04] *** Yarrow is now known as Mani.
[18:04] Alathon: it went reasonably well, and didn't get particularly ugly
[18:04] *** Pale_Wolf is now known as Reis.
[18:04] Alathon: at least, it hasn't yet
[18:05] Alathon: a few useful bits of information came out, including various bits of info pertaining to Myshaella's involvement in the war -- as a member of what she termed a mercenary guild
[18:05] Alathon: Unless thre's a lot of interest in continuing to act out this scene, I'm inclined to skip the rest of it and just describe what happens and what's discussed, as it's essentially a lot of NPCs talking at you
[18:06] Alathon: if you have questions you want Usagi to ask, you're welcome to bring them up before i start rattling stuff off
[18:06] Alathon: as this would be an organic process
[18:06] Mani: I do.
[18:06] Alathon: *nod*
[18:06] Alathon: fire 'em off
[18:07] * Sheena would have questionings about her magic system.
[18:07] Mani: Does her mercenary guild have a list of things they won't do? Such as attacking civilians or targetting children? Anything that would make them drop an employer?
[18:07] Mani: If the employer did it.
[18:08] Alathon: They have a list of things they personally won't involve themselves in, as do most 'bonded' companies, as she terms hers
[18:09] Alathon: as for anyone elses, or anyone they're working for, that's not something she can say
[18:09] Mani: Another question. Just what does she think her guild can offer us that will be worth the lives of Lysle's friends and companions she'll put an end to if she's released to fight in this war again?
[18:10] Alathon: slews of life force, precious metals, and other commodities. vengeance won't help them win a war, materiel might.
[18:11] Mani: Vengeance has nothing to do with it. It's a question of the people she'll kill in the future.
[18:11] Alathon: further, it avoids any prolonged disputed with the company itself
[18:12] Sheena: How large is her company?
[18:12] Alathon: Lysle doesn't seem terribly impressed.
[18:12] Alathon: She is incapable of discussing such a topic.
[18:12] Alathon: literally, "I am incapable of discussing that."
[18:13] Reis: Compulsions?
[18:13] Alathon: "Binding oathes."
[18:14] Alathon: she doesn't dispute your characterization, but seems to be clarifying it
[18:14] Alathon: oh, missed something in mani's statement
[18:15] Sheena: Really? figered that would be a mater of pride how alrge they are.
[18:15] Alathon: she doesn't expect to be released until the end of the conflict
[18:15] Alathon: though she mentions that they could, perhaps, get a premium rate for an early release
[18:15] Alathon: rather
[18:15] Reis: Hm, so she'd take it on trust 'we won't kill you, but you pay us now'?
[18:15] Alathon: she states, "end of the Skybolt's contract"
[18:16] Alathon: Are you asking her, or me?
[18:16] Reis: Well, just that's what's implied by 'materiel might help win the war' - that they get it before said war ends.
[18:16] Alathon: bleah, I wasn't clear
[18:16] Reis: Clarification, basically, so I guess I'll ask her.
[18:17] Mani: You've started on the tequila, haven't you... :)
[18:17] Sheena: heh
[18:17] Alathon: she states that while it tends to be so when the Skybolts are involved, the end of a war and the end of their contract are not necessarily the same thing.
[18:17] Alathon: ((indeed I have, finishign up my first margarita now))
[18:19] Alathon: hmm..
[18:19] Alathon: sheena, you had something about magic?
[18:23] Sheena: Questions about her magic system
[18:23] Sheena: How common it is, do they all use devices? Is it only her group with it or did they give this stuff to the ust
[18:24] Alathon: Pretty much any question concerning either her, or other mercenary mages capabilities, are met with the response, "I am unable to discuss that."
[18:24] Sheena: And did she make that nifty fire shield herself or did it come with her drvice.
[18:24] Alathon: "I am unable to discuss that."
[18:25] Alathon: Over the course of the several hours this interrogation lasts, that phrase comes up a lot.
[18:25] Alathon: Especially when Usagi asks all manner of questions, direct and indirect, concerning the Texan forces and their inter-dim allies
[18:25] * Sheena does her best not to mutter about this not being a problem is tsuka didnt get chashed off.
[18:25] Alathon: She doesn't seem terribly unsurprised, but continues asking them regularly.
[18:26] Mani: Is her guild taking prisoners in this conflict or are they just killing people?
[18:26] Alathon: "I am unable to discuss that."
[18:27] Mani: Sounds like this whole ransom thing is rather one-sided, then.
[18:28] Alathon: Myshaella: "Many nations or organizations feel otherwise"
[18:29] * Mani doesn't seem overly impressed.
[18:29] Alathon: Do people have any further questions?
[18:30] Mani: I can't think of anything else at the moment.
[18:30] Reis: We might, depending on what the datadump prompts :P
[18:30] Alathon: Usagi will continue questioning her along a number of angles, including what's involved in actually ransoming a Skybolt.
[18:31] Alathon: To that, Myshaella quotes the names of their contacts in the bar, as well as a couple other places nobody else seems to have heard of.
[18:31] Alathon: "Aecthelion" and "Kzer'aah" are what they sound like.
[18:32] Reis: Owie. Then she's fucked even if we wanted to ransom her.
[18:32] Alathon: And information about proxy services for handling such transfers, "the ransoming party has to pay that fee traditionally", etc etc
[18:33] Mani: We'll need to get a proxy server?
[18:33] Alathon: She refuses to talk about anything vaguely relavent to the Skybolts military disposition, or composition in general
[18:33] * Sheena has been keeping track of interesting words and places to ask celeste about later
[18:33] Alathon: Apparently ;p
[18:34] Sheena: you know servers never run properly unthill they be anoted with blood.
[18:34] Alathon: Usagi asks if she's been ransomed before. Her answer, twice.
[18:34] Sheena: Normaly a gash when craming the hd in.
[18:35] Alathon: This prompts a series of somewhat more directly personal questions.. her age, how long she's been in the business (since adulthood), how long has that been (since I was fourteen)
[18:35] Reis: Well, not many women like talking about their age?
[18:35] Alathon: Usagi tries to work in more strategic questions while asking these.. a couple times, it looks like she starts to say something before saying "I am not capable of answer thing."
[18:35] Alathon: She's 38
[18:36] Sheena: No counter questions about sheena, and her type of magic be3ing her? Might think usagi's all ready hired on a compeating firm.
[18:36] Alathon: (9which begs the question, 38 whats ;p))
[18:36] Mani: ("We consider life to be priceless, therefore we cannot accept items of value for yours. You'll be executed in the morning. Have a nice night.")
[18:36] Sheena: *htere
[18:36] Sheena: bah
[18:36] Alathon: She asks no questions.. she's quite passive about this.
[18:37] Sheena: well ya, been there done that
[18:37] Sheena: she's got the tshirt
[18:37] Alathon: She's pretty much gotten over the original unpleasantness of the situation and seems to be treating this like a normal conversation.
[18:37] Sheena: witch is impressive considering her limbs.
[18:37] Sheena: Do i see any magic active around her?
[18:38] Mani: Maybe she's used to that position, too. :)
[18:38] Alathon: she points out that to be ransomeable, she needs ot be 'undamaged'.. which in her words means, having suffered no undue physical, mental, or spiritual hardship
[18:38] Alathon: No
[18:38] Mani: Just another Saturday night for her... :)
[18:38] Alathon: The magic that was visible around her has faded
[18:38] Alathon: if she's asked to clarify
[18:39] Alathon: she states that that is the bargaining position from which the Skybolts assume captors starts; excessive damage lowers her price
[18:39] Mani: They're willing to ransom any and all prisoners from their company?
[18:39] Alathon: Usagi asks if this bears some relation to slave trading; Myshaella responds that the Skybolts will beat any price she'd bring on the block.
[18:40] Alathon: They're willing to negotiate such, yes
[18:41] Sheena: if what she said about tracking her down in next lives was true they just might off her once they got her and bring her back later. The hasle for doing that means the lower price
[18:42] Alathon: She is unable to comment on that assertion.
[18:42] Alathon: Will go into a more roundabout line of questioning, concerning the mercenary business as done through 'the bar'
[18:43] Alathon: interesting tidbits that come up
[18:43] Alathon: 'bonded' means that, literally.. thye've posted a bond which would be paid out to their employers if they defaulted on a contract
[18:43] *** Dorin has signed off IRC (Quit: ).
[18:44] Alathon: this mission doesn't seem to be terribly atypical, from what she's said
[18:44] Alathon: or rather, I should say
[18:44] Alathon: what they've been doing as far as you know, matches up with descriptiosn she says are typical
[18:46] Sheena: Sheena would ask her to guess on how there emploryer found out about the bar and the abilty to hire them. Considering this is a rather "backwater" dim.
[18:46] Sheena: Not "know" guess.
[18:46] Alathon: She's incapable of discussing that sort of information about her current employers
[18:47] Mani: (Her employer was the last person from these parts Celeste dated.)
[18:47] Sheena: not even guessing with her only personal knowlage.
[18:47] Alathon: regarding contracts.. they are rarely open-ended, but rather are agreed to last until a certain goal is accomplished, a date is reached, or their employer is killed or otherwise incapable of paying what they owe
[18:48] Mani: I suppose she's unable to give more details about the terms of the contract... How about their employer's full name?
[18:48] Sheena: looking like we are going to have to whipe out the ust to keep nosey nabors from bringing there problems to our dim.
[18:49] Alathon: Addington was the only name he chose to give.
[18:49] Mani: He who?
[18:49] Reis: Addington :P
[18:49] Mani: (Not neccesarily. Could have been someone representing him.)
[18:50] Alathon: Their employer
[18:51] Alathon: ((she previously stated that he had contracted them, on behalf of the UST))
[18:51] Alathon: ((last session))
[18:51] Mani: Is she willing to say anything more abouth him?
[18:51] Alathon: Anything more than naming him could contribute to attempts to assassinate him, thus, she cannot.
[18:52] Alathon: strictly speaking, so does naming him, but that's part of what bonded mercenary companies do to distance themselves from assassination outfits -- only operate in the open
[18:54] Mani: (Well, it looks like our course of action is clear... infect her with a horrible magical virus and ransom her.)
[18:54] Alathon: Is there anything people want to ask at this point?
[18:55] Mani: Not that I can think of.
[18:57] Alathon: Usagi will eventually call everyone outside, except Kuonji.
[18:57] Sheena: no, can't think of much more that would get around the blocks
[18:57] Alathon: "Kuonji, if she does anything other than breath and yawn, decapitate her."
[18:57] Alathon: Kuonji: "Hai."
[18:57] Alathon: He vanishes.
[18:57] Mani: (Pity about that sneeze...)
[18:57] Alathon: ((heh))
[18:57] Alathon: Outside the room, Usagi has a few things to discuss.
[18:58] Sheena: (Sakura: Did you just blink? )
[18:58] Alathon: Usagi, to Lysle: "First off.. I'd like to make it clear to you, that we will *not* be ransoming her before the end of this conflict, whatever comes."
[18:58] Alathon: Usagi: "If we do at all."
[18:59] Alathon: Lysle: "Glad to hear that."
[18:59] Alathon: Lysle: "Not too keen on the idea, myself."
[18:59] Alathon: Usagi nods.
[18:59] Alathon: Usagi: "We will, however, be squeezing her for all she's worth. She seems to be under some sort of compulsion not to discuss anything strategically valuable.. we'll see about breaking that."
[19:00] Alathon: Usagi: "Without telling her, of course. Ohterwise she'll do a better job of guarding her words."
[19:00] * Sheena titles her head at that as she trys to run the magic needed for such thing around in her head
[19:00] Alathon: Usagi: "Mars will be handling that; she's much more experienced in such matters."
[19:01] Sheena: (soomething about turning sesative parts of the body into slow burning fires makes people talkative)
[19:05] Sheena: (drink reload?)
[19:05] Alathon: ((nah, trying tot hink things over))
[19:05] Alathon: stupid logistical questions
[19:06] Alathon: Usagi: "If you could give me a moment, I've got some arrangements to make."
[19:06] Alathon: She'll step away a bit and discuss something quietly with her comm unit.
[19:08] Sheena: (take your time)
[19:08] * Mani walks in the other direction for a bit.
[19:09] * Sheena dismmisses the lingering darkness around her and steachs her back. Looking menicening for so long gives you a stiff back.
[19:09] Alathon: Yuuno: "Way to flaunt 'em."
[19:09] Alathon: Lysle chuckles appreciatively.
[19:10] Alathon: Soon enough, Usagi comes back to the group.
[19:10] * Mani strolls back over.
[19:10] Alathon: Usagi: "Alright.. Saturn will be by shortly to shuttle the lot of you ot east of Carson. From there, it'll be up to Yuuno to get you all back."
[19:10] Alathon: Usagi: "I'll need to stay here until I'm relieved."
[19:11] * Sheena just blinks at yuuno questionly..
[19:11] * Sheena frows a bit at not having a chance to hit the store and restock.
[19:11] Mani: "So we'll need to stay overnight near Carson, then."
[19:11] Sheena: "Any one have any left over double dollers on them?"
[19:12] Alathon: Yuuno: "If you give me a couple hours, I can get us out to Provo. If we spend the night there, I'll have a full tank of gas for tomorrow."
[19:12] Alathon: Usagi: "As of yet, no updates on your mission, but expect a conference in the next week."
[19:12] Mani: "That sounds good."
[19:12] * Reis nods.
[19:13] Alathon: Usagi heads into the room.. a few moments later, the door opens and closes, then Kuonji appears.
[19:13] Sheena: "Yes, ma'am"
[19:13] Sheena: (doh)
[19:13] Alathon: I'll assume it went in before she left
[19:13] Mani: ("No, no... that's Sakura. I know, it's easy to confuse the two.")
[19:14] Alathon: ((The 'your highness' jokes won't start until Ataru is back to play em ;p ))
[19:14] Reis: (NOooooooooo!)
[19:14] Alathon: Lysle: "So, if you don't mind the asking, who's Saturn?"
[19:15] Sheena: (ma'am, didnt you just leave? Oh.. hey sakura... Ya know if you want us to stop thinking your the princess you should grow some boobs or something. *ahem* umm.. boss is behind me isnt she?)
[19:16] Mani: "One of the chief guardians of our nation. You'll meet her soon enough."
[19:16] Sheena: "Hmmm, well. You have your ace's right?"
[19:18] Alathon: Lysle: "Huh.. I'd kinda got the vibe that that's what you all were."
[19:18] Alathon: Lysle: "Or is this Saturn just a few rungs up the ladder?"
[19:18] Sheena: "Interesting way to put it"
[19:19] * Reis frowns and puts one hand around her waist. Then raises the other as high as she can get it. "Something like this..."
[19:19] Mani: "She's at the top of the ladder, yes."
[19:19] Alathon: Lysle: "
[19:19] Alathon: Lysle: "Well then, I'll consider myself honored, or somesuch."
[19:19] Mani: (Saturn, having just arrived (coldly): "I don't appreciate people making fun of my height.")
[19:19] Alathon: It'll be a few more minutes before Saturn arrives.
[19:20] Alathon: Kuonji watches her intently.
[19:22] Alathon: She's pretty much exactly as she was last time.
[19:22] Alathon: Tall, long hair in mini-braids Predator style, and Senshi
[19:22] Alathon: she walks up to the party, gives Lysle a once-over, then addresses you all.
[19:22] Alathon: Saturn: "Caught a live one, huh?"
[19:23] * Mani nods.
[19:23] * Reis nods slightly.
[19:23] Sheena: "Was a pain in the ass to hall in"
[19:23] Sheena: "err. Ma'am"
[19:23] Alathon: Saturn grins.
[19:23] Alathon: Saturn: "Biggest fish always are."
[19:24] Alathon: Saturn: "So, did the princess get anything interesting out of 'er?"
[19:24] Mani: (Someone's shooting fireworks that are making weird wailing noises. They're interesting my cat. :) )
[19:24] Mani: "The short of it is that she's part of a mercenary company."
[19:25] Alathon: ((shit, I should shoot some off as soon as it gets dark))
[19:25] Alathon: Saturn: "Huh."
[19:25] Mani: "Her company would be interested in ransoming her, and they've signed their contract with someone named Addington."
[19:25] Alathon: She seems a little surprised.
[19:25] Alathon: Saturn blinks.
[19:25] Alathon: Saturn: "Addington, you say?"
[19:25] Mani: "Yes. Do you know the name?"
[19:26] Sheena: "Some kinda of binding oath in the way of the good stuff"
[19:26] Reis: (Oh boy. Guys, my father is here, and he wanted to 'discuss' something that may well take a while. Bah)
[19:26] Sheena: (lag lag)
[19:26] Mani: (Finally getting 'the talk', huh? ;) )
[19:26] Sheena: (if he starts with "Boy, its time for you to become a man" Just run man run.)
[19:26] Sheena: (dont even look bac kjust take off runniing)(
[19:26] Reis: (... Wow, thankfully it's not that...)
[19:27] Alathon: ((damn.. well, do what you gotta ;p))
[19:27] Mani: (That drops us to two active players...)
[19:27] Alathon: Saturn: "It rings a bell. I'm sure the princess will have soemthing to say about that later.."
[19:27] Alathon: Saturn: "Oathes, huh?"
[19:27] Alathon: Saturn: "Well, Mars will have her cleaned and gutted soon enough."
[19:28] Alathon: Saturn seems generally amused at this.
[19:28] Alathon: So does Lysle.
[19:28] Alathon: Lysle: "I like the way ya think."
[19:28] * Reis blinks.
[19:28] * Mani looks startled for a moment.
[19:28] Alathon: Saturn looks at him for a moment, before responding.
[19:28] Alathon: Saturn: "And I like the way you dress, but isn't that a bit.. drafty?"
[19:29] Alathon: Lysle grins sheepishly.
[19:29] Alathon: Lysle: "I fix faster than my jacket does, I'm afraid."
[19:29] Sheena: "Annoying small arms fire...."
[19:29] Mani: (This from someone in a fuku?)
[19:29] Alathon: ((indeed ;p))
[19:29] Alathon: Lysle licks his lips like he's about to say something risky, but Saturn cuts him off.
[19:30] Alathon: Saturn: "I'll spare you the need to say something in response about 'drafts'."
[19:30] Alathon: She turns and looks to Mani.
[19:30] Mani: (risqué?)
[19:30] Alathon: Saturn: "Ready to roll/"
[19:30] Alathon: Either works ;p
[19:30] Alathon: risky or risque
[19:31] * Mani glances at the others briefly to make sure no one has any issues.
[19:31] Mani: "Yep."
[19:31] Alathon: Sakura looks faintly disturbed at the direction Saturn's conversation went.
[19:31] Alathon: Ken: "Good to go."
[19:31] Sheena: "Darn.. Well ya ok then"
[19:31] Alathon: You're all immediately surrounded by purple-black sparklies
[19:31] Mani: (The next day, Sakura turns up in a perforated leather jacket.)
[19:32] * Reis nods.
[19:32] Reis: (I'm back in)
[19:32] Alathon: When they fade, after an unpleasant sort of lurch in the stomach, you're all in a field somewhere.
[19:32] Alathon: It's well into night.. and it's dark, the sky is cloudy.
[19:33] Sheena: "Personalized tranfers... i gota work on that"
[19:34] Alathon: Saturn: "The fewer cargo runs we have to do, the better."
[19:35] Sheena: "Oh? Is it that draining?"
[19:35] Alathon: Saturn: "Nah, not really."
[19:35] Sheena: "I know it takes a lot out of yuuno.. but"
[19:35] * Sheena holds him up..
[19:35] Alathon: Saturn: "Just fucking inconvenient when I'm supposed to be somewhere else."
[19:35] Mani: "Their time is very valuable, though."
[19:35] Sheena: "Hisa bit on the small side"
[19:36] Alathon: Saturn: "That said.. I'll let Yuuno there handle things from here."
[19:36] Sheena: (Still lives the big question about just what the hell the senshi are doing, considering tokyo's small size)
[19:36] Sheena: "Yes, Ma'am"
[19:36] Alathon: Saturn: "Catch ya later."
[19:36] * Sheena salutes still hanging on to yuuno
[19:36] Alathon: She half waves to the party, and vanishes in a smaller cloud of purple sparks.
[19:36] Mani: (Who says they're staying in Tokyo?)
[19:36] Sheena: (well its a given there not)
[19:36] Mani: (And even if they are, there's a lot to do.)
[19:36] Sheena: (satarn does have her own castle after all, i guess she's repainting it)
[19:37] Mani: "And that was Saturn."
[19:37] Alathon: Lysle: "Huh."
[19:37] Alathon: Lysle: "So she answers to Usagi, right?"
[19:37] Alathon: Lysle: "And Usagi to..?"
[19:37] Mani: "More formally known as Lady Saturn or Sailor Saturn." (Assuming they still go by Sailor.)
[19:38] Mani: "I'm not sure exactly how her and Usagi's positions relate, but they both answer to Queen Serenity and King Endymion."
[19:38] Alathon: ((they do, now and then))
[19:38] Sheena: (sheena: We got a king?)
[19:38] Alathon: Lysle: "Right... good to know."
[19:39] Alathon: Lysle: "so.."
[19:39] Alathon: Lysle looks around.
[19:39] Alathon: Lysle: "Mind telling me where we're at?"
[19:39] * Mani looks around, too.
[19:39] Mani: (Where's Griselda when you need her?)
[19:39] Alathon: It's nearly pitch black. You're in a field.
[19:39] Mani: (You are likely to be eaten by a grue.)
[19:39] Alathon: hmm.. spot checks
[19:39] Sheena: (Usagi: Mom, im going to use my girls to take over texas cya later! Usagi: Bye dear have fun! )
[19:39] Alathon: actually nm, we have people with night vision don't we
[19:39] * Reis blinks. "Ah... We're outside Carson City, I think."
[19:39] Mani: (Yep.)
[19:40] Reis: roll 1d20+6 Spot
[19:40] Alathon: those of you with night vision can see a barn nearby. It takes a moment to identify where you are, but you remember it clearly enough once you do -- this is where Sailor Saturn tried to destroy that runeblade, Langrisser.
[19:40] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+6 Spot --> [ 1d20=9 ]{15}
[19:40] Alathon: Reis can't see shit ;p
[19:40] Alathon: Yuuno: "That'd make sense, I guess."
[19:40] Reis: (Doh, I missed the 'never mind' :P )
[19:40] Mani: "Mm. We're where Saturn dealt with that sword."
[19:40] Sheena: Roll 1d20+5
[19:40] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{21}
[19:41] Alathon: Sheena spots a barn. thjat's all you can really make out
[19:41] Sheena: "Hmmm, Well thats nothelpfull'
[19:41] Mani: "We may as well just rest here, since it'd take us as long to get someplace more comfortable."
[19:41] Mani: (Comfortable evening?)
[19:42] Alathon: It's kinda miserable
[19:42] Alathon: well
[19:42] Alathon: actually wait
[19:42] Alathon: it's just be damn, not that cold
[19:43] Alathon: Yuuno: "Yeah.. gimme a bit and we can sack out in Provo."
[19:43] Mani: (It's summer, right? What with the tall corn and all.)
[19:43] Alathon: Lysle kicks around a bit looking for something to sit on, and fails to finds omething.
[19:43] Alathon: yeah
[19:43] Mani: (And you meant damp, not damn, yes? :) )
[19:43] Alathon: meant damp, not cold
[19:43] * Sheena takes a look around for magical.
[19:44] Alathon: You see magic on all of you except Lysle
[19:44] * Mani looks around for any spots that look more comfortable.
[19:44] Alathon: largely in what look to be looted rings
[19:44] Alathon: and your own cloak.
[19:44] Mani: (Is the barn door open?)
[19:44] Alathon: It doesn't look it, but it wouldn't be that secure.. and you're at some distance.
[19:45] Alathon: If you head over that way, with Kuonji and Mani leading the party, you'll reach there without incident
[19:45] Alathon: and find the door unlocked.
[19:45] Mani: "Want to check out the barn? I don't want to break into someone's place, but if it's open, or better yet, abandoned..."
[19:46] Alathon: Inside, it's an empty barn, but it's dry.
[19:46] Mani: (Looks abandoned?)
[19:46] Alathon: Lysle: "Beats soaking our asses out here."
[19:46] Alathon: It looks unused, at the very least, and old.
[19:46] Alathon: Though not yet decrepit.
[19:46] * Mani nods.
[19:46] Alathon: Though it is somewhat odd that there's a barn here, but no farm house.. or tilled fields.
[19:46] Alathon: cultivated fields, rather
[19:46] Sheena: (We would have of corse handed off whatherfaces rings/device to the princess back there)
[19:47] Mani: "I thought it might be abandoned, considering we used it as a spot where nothing important would be damaged."
[19:47] Alathon: ((you really need to actually SAY that, but I'll let this one ride))
[19:47] * Mani figures any other structures that used to be here were probably destroyed in the past.
[19:47] Alathon: Lysle: "Doubt anyone will give a damn this time of night."
[19:48] Alathon: Kuonji: "I'll have a quick look around, just to be certain."
[19:48] Alathon: Kuonji vanishes from .. well.. nothing, only Mani could really see him before ;p
[19:48] Mani: "Sounds good."
[19:48] * Mani nods to Sakura.
[19:48] Alathon: Lysle plunks himself down on the ground, leaning against one wall.
[19:49] Alathon: Lysle: "Huh.. "
[19:49] Sheena: "Im still a bit drained so dont mind me"
[19:49] * Sheena drops her pack and sorta lays down on the air useing it as a headrest.
[19:50] *** Reis has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[19:52] Alathon: time will pass.
[19:52] Alathon: Lysle: "So..."
[19:52] Mani: "Sorry you didn't get to see very much of Crystal Tokyo."
[19:52] Alathon: Lysle: "Kinda disappointed about that. Something of a secret?"
[19:52] Sheena: "Didn't get a chance to hit a store and get some shopping done.. "
[19:52] *** Reis has joined #crystaltokyo.
[19:52] Reis: <Sheena> (We would have of corse handed off whatherfaces rings/device to the princess back there)
[19:52] Reis: <Mani> "I thought it might be abandoned, considering we used it as a spot where nothing important would be damaged."
[19:53] Reis: (Bleh, what'd I miss?)
[19:53] Alathon: PM'd
[19:53] Mani: "I think it was just a matter of the schedules of the few people who could bring us back here."
[19:53] Alathon: Lysle: "Either way's fine by me."
[19:53] Alathon: Lysle: "We've got our own rules too, ya know?"
[19:53] Alathon: Lysle: "specially since the cowfuckers started things up.."
[19:54] Mani: "I don't think it was because of secrecy."
[19:54] * Mani shrugs.
[19:54] Alathon: Lysle: "S'fine by me, but I'll take you at your word."
[19:54] Mani: "But that's just my opinion."
[19:55] Alathon: Lysle: "So.. what's this place, Provo, like?"
[19:55] * Reis perks up to listen.
[19:55] Alathon: It's essentially like Erickson or the rest of Nevada.. except a bit more run down in places, and very new in others
[19:55] Mani: (Beats me. I've never seen it in character.)
[19:56] Sheena: "Now sure how to discribe it, It's a lot less moterrized then your used to"
[19:56] Mani: "Mm, it's a Nevadan city that's had parts of it rebuilt recently, so it's a mishmash of old and new right now."
[19:56] Alathon: Lysle: "Huh."
[19:57] Sheena: "Most transport over here is done by horses"
[19:57] Alathon: Lysle snorts at that.
[19:57] Mani: "Not quite as advanced as your cities, technologically."
[19:57] Alathon: Lysle: "Surprised the Texans didn't swing up this way, they'd have had an easy time of it.."
[19:57] Sheena: "They tried"
[19:57] Alathon: Lysle: "Unless they have a whole bunch of something else to make up for it."
[19:57] Alathon: Lysle: "They use.. what?"
[19:57] * Sheena looks a bit hard at that.
[19:57] Mani: (The Yamahas took it from the Nevadans before they were driven out?)
[19:58] Alathon: It's never been clarified to your characters just who built Provo
[19:58] Alathon: it may have been there since the Black Rain for all you know
[19:58] Sheena: "Hmm, We're not sure it was the ust. But with what we have learned so far it seems so"
[19:58] Alathon: ... if you've consulted maps, which I'm pretty sure you have at some point, it in fact has been
[19:58] Mani: "It may not have been the Texans themselves, but someone tried to bring in some of the beings that are allied with the UST."
[19:59] Sheena: "A while back they slaughtered and burn to the ground many villages around here who couldnt defend themselfs"
[19:59] Mani: "Slaughtered a bunch of towns to do it."
[19:59] Sheena: "Use that to summon a invanding army"
[19:59] Alathon: Lysle: "That has Texan written all over it.. what they can't grasp, they 'purify in fire'."
[19:59] Alathon: He says the last few words with disgust, and a little anger.
[19:59] Mani: "Almost managed to do the same to the captital."
[19:59] Sheena: "Before we stoped em dead"
[19:59] Alathon: Lysle: "Good. Damned good."
[20:00] Mani: "Too many innocent people died, though."
[20:00] Sheena: "Meh.. wans't fast enought.."
[20:00] Alathon: Lysle: "Hate to face 'em on a second front.. bad enough they have the Confederacy."
[20:00] * Mani scowls, even though no one can see it.
[20:01] Alathon: Lysle waits a bit.. anyone have anything to ask/add?
[20:01] Mani: "Provo, however, was held by the Yamahas for a while."
[20:01] Alathon: You can hear Lysle suck in a breath at that.
[20:02] Alathon: Lysle: "A whole town of 'em.."
[20:02] Alathon: He sounds almost.. unbelieving.
[20:02] Sheena: "A lot more then that.."
[20:02] * Sheena remembers black sands.
[20:02] Alathon: Lysle: "Can't see how that could be. Not.. well. Just can't see it."
[20:02] Mani: "In addition to roving bands of them, I'm afraid. They gave Nevada serious problems."
[20:02] Alathon: Lysle: "We don't lose many."
[20:02] Sheena: "An army's worth, they took over the only oil refinery around here"
[20:03] Alathon: Lysle: "All of 'em Yamahas?"
[20:03] Alathon: Lysle: "I mean.. all of em with the gifts, and hogs, and the like?"
[20:03] Mani: "I'm not sure, to be honest. They could have recruited others, but so far as I know, they all had hogs."
[20:03] Sheena: "Well, can't say for sure, but big guns, hogs, jackets and stuff"
[20:03] Sheena: ya"
[20:04] Mani: "Speaking of which, I think it's probably best if you don't look like a Rider when we go to Provo."
[20:04] Mani: "The people there won't be able to tell the difference."
[20:04] Alathon: Lysle doesn't have a reply to that.
[20:05] Mani: (Has Sakura returned?)
[20:05] Alathon: Lysle: "If you don't mind me askin'.. how long back were they like that? With numbers like that?"
[20:05] Alathon: ((not yet, but it's only been like 10 minutes))
[20:05] Alathon: ((If you comm him, he'll text back that he's on his way back))
[20:05] Mani: (How long was it? Like 3 years?)
[20:05] Sheena: (how long has it been?)
[20:06] Alathon: Really bad in the last 3-5 years.. got a bit worse before that.. was just occasional raids before then
[20:06] * Mani answers Lysle.
[20:06] Alathon: Lysle: "Huh.."
[20:06] Alathon: He'll wait a bit more, before responding.
[20:06] Alathon: Lysle: "Heard a rumor or three."
[20:06] Sheena: "And then there was blacksands"
[20:07] Alathon: Lysle: "Black sands?"
[20:07] Mani: "The main reasons they were so difficult for the Nevadans to deal with was their heavier weapons and the mobility their bikes gave them."
[20:07] Mani: "And those of them with powers."
[20:09] Alathon: Does sheena reply to the question?
[20:09] Sheena: (yes..)
[20:09] Sheena: (ytpoeing9)
[20:09] Sheena: (err typeing)
[20:09] Mani: (Typoing? Sounds about par. ;) )
[20:10] Sheena: "Black sands is the only sorce of local oil and gas, Was takening over my the Yamahas. A lot of them)
[20:10] Sheena: *by
[20:10] Alathon: Lysle: "Oh."
[20:10] Alathon: He doesn't seem to have much more to add.
[20:10] Alathon: anything you wanna ask before 'time passes'?
[20:11] Alathon: Kuonji comes back, and reports that the area is devoid of anything other than the expected wildlife.
[20:11] Mani: "What do you do with Yamahas now?"
[20:11] Mani: (Lysle: "Send them this way.")
[20:12] Alathon: Lysle: "You mean, in the last couple years?"
[20:12] * Mani nods then remembers the darkness.
[20:12] Mani: "Yes."
[20:13] Alathon: sadly, "We've been giving 'em to the Oathtakers to deal with."
[20:13] Mani: "Mmm."
[20:13] Alathon: Lysle: "Not gonna execute 'em for something that ain't really their fault, like, but.."
[20:13] Alathon: he trails off.
[20:13] Alathon: Lysle: "Leastways, that's what I say. Not everyone thinks like that."
[20:14] Alathon: Lysle: "Three, five years back, you say?"
[20:15] *** Ataru has joined #crystaltokyo.
[20:15] Alathon: ((ahh, good))
[20:15] Mani: "Yeah."
[20:15] Alathon: ((got a net connection at your grandmas?))
[20:15] *** Ataru is now known as Kuonji.
[20:15] Kuonji: (sorry bout the delay)
[20:15] Mani: (Mm, do we have Nevadan money on us?)
[20:15] Alathon: ((you have some, Kuonji has it))
[20:15] Alathon: ((forgot to have him say that back in CT))
[20:16] Alathon: Anyways.. update is this: the interrogation finished, info was had, Saturn teleported everyone out to Nevada -- you're all in the barn near hwere Saturn tried to destroy Langrisser, waiting for Yuuno to regen enough EP to teleport the party to Provo
[20:16] Alathon: It's pretty much pitch black, and the party is sheltering in a barn, chatting a bit..
[20:16] Alathon: mainly about the yamahas, and the war
[20:16] Alathon: Lysle: "Heard a rumor or three.."
[20:17] Alathon: Lysle: "not ones I'd like to repeat, but I figure they might have bearing on this."
[20:17] Alathon: Lysle: "Southern chapters lost a lot of folks.. more'n anyone else, of course, but not just by a little."
[20:18] Alathon: Lysle: "They took the brunt of it, before we all started backing 'em up. Took us a few to figure out this wasn't another 'territorial dispute'."
[20:18] Kuonji: (did we lear anything from the interrigation)
[20:18] Alathon: Lysle: "Rumors say, more'n a few of those the chapters reckon as dead, weren't. Fled, headed west.. of their own accord."
[20:18] Alathon: Lysle: "or soemthing like that."
[20:18] Alathon: ((lots))
[20:18] Mani: "Mmm."
[20:19] Sheena: "Own accord huh?"
[20:19] Alathon: Lysle: "Or something like that."
[20:19] Alathon: Lysle: "Never figured I'd hear anything that'd make that sound like anything other'n a bunch of hogwash."
[20:19] Reis: (Well, Tsu's guy DID run, nothing like 'lost oaths' :P )
[20:20] Sheena: "There "random" attacks over here wiped out a ton of people. And crippled the lands around here"
[20:20] Alathon: Lysle, softly: "Ya don't say.."
[20:20] Sheena: "And that attack on the capital after ever thing was weakend?"
[20:20] Sheena: "Funny, if we didnt stop them there... You guys would be fighting a war on 3 sides"
[20:21] Sheena: "Insted of two?"
[20:21] Alathon: Lysle, a little angry: "So, you gonna throw in with us?"
[20:21] Alathon: Lysle: "You've seen what the deal is with the cowfuckers."
[20:21] * Reis frowns. "That's not our decision."
[20:21] Alathon: Lysle: "Ain't like a little water will slow 'em down much, and they ain't got another way to go, really."
[20:21] Sheena: "Oh, Not my call sorry."
[20:22] Sheena: "Not like i won't blow the crap outa any ust i see.. it's just not our choice for the big picture"
[20:23] Mani: (Step away for a moment to get a drink and that's the time Sheena decides to start provoking Lysle. :p )
[20:23] Alathon: Lysle: "Huh.."
[20:23] Alathon: ((heh))
[20:23] Alathon: Lysle: "Pity, that."
[20:23] Alathon: Lysle: "Can't say I minded your help this afternoon, not in the least."
[20:24] Mani: "Can't say we minded giving it."
[20:24] Alathon: Yuuno: "I think I'm good to go."
[20:24] Sheena: "It's not often we can let go like that"
[20:24] * Sheena floats to a standing and puts her pack back on under the cloak
[20:25] Mani: (Would Lysle still scream Rider if he removed his jacket?)
[20:25] Alathon: Without the jacket, he'd still be oversized, and have leather pants and boots.. but leather pants and boots are quite common out this way.
[20:25] Alathon: He could pass
[20:26] Mani: "Ok, then. I think you'll pass well enough if you take off your jacket, Lysle."
[20:26] Alathon: Lysle: "Huh."
[20:26] Alathon: He doesn't sound too thrilled, but you hear the rustle of clothing.
[20:26] Mani: "Can you hold it for him, Sakura?"
[20:26] Mani: "So it's out of sight."
[20:27] Sheena: "From big scary rider to... well big scary guy"
[20:27] * Sheena shurgs
[20:27] Sheena: "If any one around here remembers us i don't think they would try anything."
[20:28] Alathon: Yuuno: "Alright, someone whip out a flashlight so we can all get close and hold hands."
[20:28] Alathon: Ken does so, and you can all do so without incident.
[20:28] Alathon: Anything more to do before teleporting?
[20:28] Mani: (I assume the jacket's stashed away?)
[20:28] Alathon: PM'd
[20:28] Mani: (Ah, so I see.)
[20:29] *** Kuonji has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[20:29] Alathon: ((Le Sigh))
[20:29] Alathon: ((he's on some shitty long range other persons connection, isn't he))
[20:29] Mani: (Sakura gets 10xp for the session. :) )
[20:29] Alathon: Anyways
[20:29] Mani: (Nothing more to do.)
[20:29] Mani: (Afk a minute.)
[20:29] Alathon: Without further ado, Yuuno lights the room up with what looks like a brilliantly bright blue series of circles filled with runic markings spinning below the party.
[20:29] Sheena: (ya, i belive he was stealing wireless when he can)
[20:30] Alathon: And soon enough,t he party is outside Provo.
[20:31] Alathon: I'll assume you can all navigate the fairly simple matter of getting a room to sleep in
[20:31] Alathon: and probably sleeping in pretty late, since it's now well past midnight.
[20:31] Mani: (Back.)
[20:33] Sheena: (witch one is porvo again?)
[20:33] Sheena: (this sint the forest gernad wanted to burn is it?)
[20:34] Reis: (No, though he would've if he'd seen it)
[20:34] Alathon: Hm
[20:34] Alathon: anyone care to recap the interrogation for Kuonji?
[20:34] Alathon: haha
[20:34] Alathon: Provo is near the "black sands"
[20:34] Alathon: it's the easternmost major Nevadan City
[20:35] Alathon: it's main high point is that it's within one teleport hop of the camp you all spent a day waiting at
[20:35] Alathon: .. which incidentally simplifies things
[20:35] Alathon: you don't have to fly yuuno there or otherwise dicka round, he was there long enough to have a lock
[20:37] Alathon: mmm.. jalepenos
[20:37] Mani: (Are you going to have us play out returning?)
[20:37] Sheena: (heh)
[20:37] Alathon: hm
[20:37] Alathon: no
[20:37] Alathon: other than what you do after you get back to camp
[20:38] Mani: (Well, that will save us an hour or so. :) )
[20:38] Alathon: since it's essentially a trivial task
[20:38] Alathon: okay
[20:38] Alathon: interrogation wise, here's what happened
[20:39] Mani: (You know Ataru disconnected, right?)
[20:39] Alathon: we all found out a lot about mercenary guilds in general, a little about hers, how to ransom myshaella herself, her reasoning for why it's better than killing her (more profitable and useful in war), that they have offices in the bar, and two other locations noboyd has heard of
[20:39] Alathon: oh FUCK ME
[20:39] Alathon: sigh
[20:39] Alathon: I totally knew that
[20:39] Alathon: then brain farted and didn't
[20:39] Alathon: fucking alzheimers is coming for me.
[20:39] Mani: (Could be the margaritas, too...)
[20:40] Alathon: I forget words in the middle of sentences when I'm sober too..
[20:40] Alathon: anyways
[20:40] Alathon: unless there's anything you all wanna do in provo..
[20:40] Alathon: ?
[20:40] Mani: (Maybe you just need more sleep.)
[20:41] Mani: (In Provo? Just shower. :) )
[20:41] Alathon: you fail; they have no showers
[20:41] Alathon: but you can bathe yourself
[20:41] Mani: ...
[20:41] Alathon: they'd require the minimum of regular, running water
[20:41] Mani: (Barbarians. Fine.)
[20:41] Alathon: which Provo kinda doesn't have
[20:41] Alathon: yeah, pretty much
[20:42] Alathon: either way, you get cleaned up to the point where smelling yourself isn't painful
[20:42] * Mani almost never gets that filthy. :)
[20:42] Alathon: which is no small blessing after a few days ont he road and a battle
[20:42] Alathon: the rest of the party does, and you can't always be upwind ;p
[20:43] Alathon: Yuuno teleports the party to the forward staging area
[20:44] Alathon: Lysle promptly puts his jacked back on.. two inch holes and all.
[20:45] Alathon: It's pretty much how you remember it
[20:45] Sheena: "Thanks Yuuno"
[20:45] Alathon: Yuuno: "don't.. *wheeze*.. mention it."
[20:46] * Sheena picks up the furry taxis and puts him on her sholder
[20:46] Alathon: He lays there comfortably.
[20:46] Alathon: Lysle: "Hmm.. "
[20:46] Alathon: Lysle: "Suppose I better find you all accomodations, then corral a few heads to have a word with."
[20:47] Alathon: unless there are any objections, he'll do that.. and the party will have two large tents to spend waiting for Martha and the KC's 1st to return.
[20:47] Mani: "Sounds good. Let us know if you need anything."
[20:47] Alathon: Lysle: "Will do."
[20:47] *** Kuonji has joined #crystaltokyo.
[20:47] Mani: (Ah. I figured we'd be rejoining them instead of them returning here.)
[20:47] * Reis thanks him.
[20:47] Alathon: ((wb ;p ))
[20:48] Kuonji: (ugg >_<)
[20:48] Alathon: Official plan was to wait for them to return, sicne it'd be 2-3 days, and they don't have a perfectly planned route
[20:48] Alathon: ((my suggestion: dialup when visiting relatives. used to do that mysefl ;p ))
[20:49] Alathon: ((old people don't use the phone after 9pm anyways))
[20:49] Mani: (Is everyone here pretty much a rider or are there normal people there too as support?)
[20:49] Alathon: almost entirely riders.. there are normal people here and there, but they look to be transitory in nature
[20:49] Alathon: i.e. people involved in shipping something, or moving stuf
[20:49] Alathon: even staff positions are Riders
[20:50] *** KotatsuNeko has joined #crystaltokyo.
[20:50] Alathon: ((wb again))
[20:50] Reis: (Fuuuuuck. Your life is sucking Ataru. My sympathies)
[20:50] Alathon: soo...
[20:51] * Mani checks on the off chance anyone could use healing (normals or someone unlucky enough to get a noregen wound.)
[20:51] Alathon: is there anything in particular you all want to do while waiting in this rider camp?
[20:51] Alathon: there's nothing Ken wants to do.
[20:51] *** Kuonji has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[20:51] Alathon: You'll find more than a few 'walking wounded' among the regular human truckers and suchlike.
[20:51] *** KotatsuNeko is now known as Kuonji.
[20:51] Alathon: They'll deeply appreciate any help you can offer.
[20:51] * Mani heals them then relaxes and plays the harp a bit if nothing else comes up.
[20:51] Alathon: If you ask 'em.. a lot of those who are helpign out are volunteering to dow hatever they can.. since they don't have towns to go back to.
[20:52] * Sheena not being able to heal any one sets about finding a quite place to wait and works on her designs more.
[20:52] * Mani probably would make small talk while healing people.
[20:52] * Reis frowns and starts working on something in the tent, involving a lot of paper and scrawled blueprints.
[20:53] Alathon: you'll hear a lot of depressing stories
[20:53] Alathon: and a lot of stories that leave out bits that sound like they'd be depressing
[20:53] Alathon: like where people's folks are
[20:54] Sheena: "Hey reis"
[20:54] * Reis looks up. "Um, yes senpai?"
[20:55] * Sheena floats over a bit and shows reis her notes on the com/pdathing
[20:55] Sheena: "Thinking of redoing my armor more.. Hows about this"
[20:55] * Reis reads them.
[20:55] Reis: (What do I see?)
[20:55] Sheena: (what pick before rock fixed it)
[20:55] Alathon: *nod*
[20:55] Alathon: haha
[20:55] Sheena: (basicaly a hole lot of sheena and some bits of amaor tacked on)
[20:56] Reis: (Well, do I see the actual picture of you, or blueprints of the armour, or pure math that ends up denoting it...?)
[20:57] Sheena: (genrral blue prints over a light body outline, Enought to tell what goes where)
[20:57] * Reis blushes and looks up, eyes wide. "This looks... um..."
[20:59] *** Kuonji has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[21:00] Sheena: "I manged to incresse the over all armor covereage"
[21:01] Sheena: (not that it looks like it..)
[21:01] * Reis clears her throat and nods, still red. "It's a buffer field over the... rest?"
[21:04] Sheena: "Well you dont think that flimsy top or over done skirt stop bullets on there own do you ""
[21:04] Sheena: "We really need to get your some protection like that to.. hmm, mabie i can work somethign out"
[21:05] Mani: (Don't suppose anyone in the base who has an instrument of their own joins in with Mani when she's playing? :) Fiddle or flute would combine very well.)
[21:05] * Reis shakes her head to both. "I'm actually looking into that myself right now..."
[21:06] Sheena: "Really? You're gona have to show me when you get more done"
[21:06] Alathon: ((sadly, no))
[21:06] Sheena: "Oh, and don't worrie about that odd flash twirl effect thing.. I still havent found a way around it"
[21:07] Mani: (What kind of troops are these? :p )
[21:07] * Reis nods. "So, I should focus on its performance first, instead?"
[21:08] Alathon: hm?
[21:08] Alathon: largely Harleyriders
[21:08] Alathon: there don't seem to be much int he way of irregulars around
[21:09] Mani: (It was a rhetorical question in response to none of them having musical instruments. :) )
[21:09] Sheena: "Of corse! With your looks you hadly need to design around em. Just about anything will look great"
[21:09] Sheena: "So protection first"
[21:09] * Reis reddens. "Th-thank you senpai..."
[21:12] Sheena: (we can move on at any time unless you want sheena to tease reis more)
[21:12] Reis: (Well, if you wanted to ask about what Reis was working on...)
[21:12] Sheena: "You think this needs anything?"
[21:12] Sheena: (sheena said you would have to show her)
[21:12] Sheena: (need a biger hint that that?)
[21:13] Reis: (Well, she doesn't have a design for it yet :P )
[21:13] * Mani comes by when she's taking a break from playing.
[21:13] Mani: "Hey, any of you guys ever think of taking up a musical instrument?"
[21:13] * Reis cocks her head. "Not sure... Did any weak points reveal themselves last time, senpai?"
[21:15] * Sheena looks at mani
[21:15] Sheena: "Nope never"
[21:15] Mani: (Thought you were done with the conversation. Feel free to finish it up first if you're not.)
[21:15] Sheena: "Don't think i would be very good at it"
[21:16] Sheena: "Weak pointes? not really expect for getting hit to damn hard"
[21:16] * Reis frowns and nods.
[21:18] Reis: "What about... Area control, or momentum manipulation? Better anti-magic defences?"
[21:18] * Sheena sits up with her com
[21:19] Sheena: "Not sure, but its something to look at"
[21:19] Sheena: "And sorry mani, got caught up in tech talk"
[21:19] Sheena: "No i havent tried to play anything"
[21:19] Mani: "No problem. I didn't realize you were in the middle of something."
[21:21] Mani: "How about you, Reis?"
[21:21] * Mani would ask Sakura but gets the impression he's not all there at the moment.
[21:21] Mani: (And that it isn't something the DM can answer for him. :) )
[21:21] Alathon: heh
[21:21] Alathon: anyways
[21:21] * Reis frowns. "Music... I've never really considered it before. I'm sorry, Mani-san."
[21:21] Alathon: unless there's more.. I think it's time for time to pass ;p
[21:21] Mani: "There's no need to be sorry."
[21:22] Mani: "It's nice being able to create something pleasant, though. And sometimes it feels good to lose yourself in playing."
[21:22] Mani: "I bet you'd be good at it."
[21:23] * Mani smiles.
[21:23] Reis: "Thank you, Mani-san."
[21:23] Mani: "And multiple instuments sound a lot better than one alone."
[21:23] * Mani winks.
[21:24] * Reis nods. "I'll... think about it, Mani-san."
[21:25] Mani: "And playing with someone else is a lot of fun, too."
[21:25] * Mani sighs.
[21:25] Mani: "I miss it."
[21:25] * Mani stage whispers to Reis, "Flute and fiddle go very well with the harp."
[21:26] * Mani pauses.
[21:26] * Reis smiles. "I'll keep that in mind, Mani-san."
[21:26] Mani: "Don't try to play both at once."
[21:26] * Reis blinks and tries to figure out how it'd even be done.
[21:28] * Mani nods.
[21:28] Mani: (Ok, I'll let you fast forward now if you want. :) )
[21:28] Sheena: ( we good)
[21:28] * Sheena just loats around waiting on marhjto while doing her wsef
[21:29] Reis: (... Wha?)
[21:29] Alathon: ((heh))
[21:29] Alathon: anyways
[21:29] Alathon: time passes
[21:29] Alathon: two nights, two days.. until KC's 1st returns.
[21:29] Sheena: (drain fart)
[21:30] Mani: (I've never seen someone play the flute and fiddle at the same time, but I did see something that really impressed me once...)
[21:31] Alathon: They look similar in size.. so they don't seem ot have suffered any great calamity.
[21:32] Mani: (Irish tap involves vigorously moving the legs and feet around a lot, and the upper body does bounce a bit, but doesn't shake and sway much. Anyway, I saw a woman, for a short time, play the fiddle while doing Irish tap.)
[21:32] Alathon: ((that must require some effort))
[21:32] Alathon: She'll greet you all.. but promptly go looking for Lysle, whom she wants to have some words with.
[21:33] Alathon: er
[21:33] Alathon: Martha will
[21:33] Mani: (Yeah. And a hell of a lot of control. I expect most people would end up with a bow through their throat or up their nose...)
[21:33] Alathon: No request from home for a conference yet
[21:33] Sheena: "Poor guy"
[21:34] Alathon: ((incidentally.. with tomorrow being July 4th, does anyone have any responsibilities they have to be up early for?))
[21:34] Alathon: ((or do we have some time to work with?))
[21:34] Sheena: (got plnety of time)
[21:34] Mani: (I'm completely irresponsible. I can't promise I won't pass out, though.)
[21:34] Alathon: ((you obviously need more crystal meth ;p ))
[21:34] Sheena: (ill be up allnight any way, dogs...)
[21:34] Reis: (Same as Mani, except that my passing out will be in class)
[21:35] Alathon: ((.. that ain't good))
[21:35] Reis: (Don't worry 'bout it, fortunately I covered the early units of this with ease :P )
[21:35] Mani: (A 15 minute break at some point so I can go to the convenience store and get more drinks would be nice, though.)
[21:35] Alathon: ((okay, now's thet ime then))
[21:35] Alathon: Let's do a quick fifteen minute break
[21:35] Alathon: by quick, I mean.. 15 minutes, not 20 or 25 ;p
[21:35] Mani: As opposed to a slow... ok. :)
[21:36] Mani: If I'm late, it's due to circumstances beyond my control.
[21:36] * Mani gets dressed and goes to the store.
[21:46] *** Kuonji has joined #crystaltokyo.
[21:46] Reis: (Welcome back, presently on break)
[21:47] Alathon: fireworks kick ass
[21:48] Alathon: mmm
[21:48] Alathon: have to shoot off more later
[21:48] Sheena: You just notice this now?
[21:48] Alathon: wel
[21:48] Sheena: ahh got your own huh?
[21:49] Alathon: I noticed it while I was shooting off some roman candles and Saturn batteries
[21:49] Alathon: nothing special, but good exploding fun :)
[21:49] Sheena: can't have any in IL, got to smugle them in from indiana
[21:49] Alathon: hooray for Washington State
[21:49] Alathon: there's a tent down the street that sells a ton of em
[21:49] Alathon: from sparklers and blackjacks to mortars
[21:49] *** KotatsuNeko has joined #crystaltokyo.
[21:49] Alathon: welcome back again
[21:49] *** Kuonji has signed off IRC (Ping timeout).
[21:49] *** KotatsuNeko is now known as Kuonji.
[21:50] Sheena: cops dont really care once you hace them
[21:50] Sheena: but they do stop people at the borders
[21:50] Alathon: hmm
[21:50] Alathon: okay, we all here?
[21:50] Alathon: or do I need to go mix something else while we wait?
[21:50] Sheena: im guessing mani's in trafic
[21:50] Sheena: go ahead amdn mix something
[21:51] Kuonji: god I feel like shit
[21:51] Kuonji: any one want to bring me up to speed?
[21:51] Kuonji: a summary would be nice
[21:51] Alathon: the party is back int he forward camp
[21:52] Alathon: the one you departed from
[21:52] Alathon: and Martha's led the platoon you were with back
[21:52] Alathon: you've done some discussing with Lysle about the yamahas and the war
[21:52] Alathon: and reis and sheena discussed sheenas new (lack of) armor
[21:53] Kuonji: what did we learn from the prisoner?
[21:53] Mani: (Ok.)
[21:53] Alathon: um, lemme see
[21:53] Mani: (Yay. Managed to actually find a bottle of Honest Tea at the convenience store.)
[21:54] Alathon: [20:39] Alathon: we all found out a lot about mercenary guilds in general, a little about hers, how to ransom myshaella herself, her reasoning for why it's better than killing her (more profitable and useful in war), that they have offices in the bar, and two other locations noboyd has heard of
[21:54] Alathon: and more stuff besides, can't really summarize
[21:54] Alathon: but I will post logs
[21:54] Alathon: anyways.. we'll pick up late in the day, when Martha seeks the party out.
[21:54] Mani: (Fireworks don't do much for me, personally.)
[21:55] Alathon: ((that's a sign that you hate america. you should be ashamed!))
[21:55] Alathon: ((america is all about blowing shit up!))
[21:55] Reis: (Damn, I could get behind that)
[21:55] Mani: (Now, lightning.... Mmmmmmmmm.)
[21:56] Alathon: ((we obviously need satellites that destroy cities with enormous electrical discharges))
[21:56] Mani: (Oh. Mani wants to talk to each party member in private. Some point in the time before Martha returns would be the perfect time for that.)
[21:56] Alathon: how many conversations can you run simultaenously?
[21:57] Alathon: you can do that now if you want?
[21:57] Mani: (But since they're private talks and not everyone is/was here, how about we do them later.)
[21:57] *** Rockman_Zero has joined #crystaltokyo.
[21:57] Alathon: ((hello, RZ))
[21:57] Reis: (... Heya Rocko)
[21:57] Rockman_Zero: (Hello ><;)
[21:57] *** Rockman_Zero is now known as Ken_Yamada.
[21:58] Sheena: (mmm tacoie pizza)
[21:58] Ken_Yamada: (Sorry, I set my alarm to wake me as normal, but I just woke up to find that my phone battery had died. ><)
[21:59] Mani: (Doing them later sound good to people?)
[21:59] Mani: (Ie - when the game isn't actually in session.)
[21:59] Kuonji: (sure)
[21:59] Mani: (And I don't mean tonight after the game. ;) )
[22:00] Sheena: 9sure)
[22:00] Mani: (Great. Thanks.)
[22:01] Reis: (Yep, I'm good with it too)
[22:02] Sheena: (are we ploting an intervention on al to make him cope with thoes drinking problems?)
[22:02] Alathon: ((no, because drinking makes DMing more fun :))
[22:02] Reis: ("You see, I've found the root of our problems. God keeps getting drunk off his ass and sending things at us because he thinks it'd be funny.")
[22:03] Mani: ("Last session, he went on a bender and broke all the stars... :( I almost got run over by a giant ball that was somehow involved in fixing them...")
[22:04] Alathon: ((roll 1d20+18 Katamari init))
[22:04] Reis: (So wait, that literally was the plot of Katamari? God went on a bender?)
[22:05] Alathon: okay
[22:05] Alathon: discussions will be had
[22:05] Sheena: (no, the plot was thegathering of millioons of people and then murdering them by fire)
[22:05] Mani: (Yes.)
[22:05] Alathon: and after them, the party will set out. again.
[22:05] Alathon: well, wait
[22:05] Reis: (This game's coolness factor just went up by fifteen points)
[22:06] Alathon: Martha: "So.. you heading out with us again, or have something different to do?"
[22:06] Mani: (Though he's called the King of All Cosmos.)
[22:06] Mani: (Did Martha have anything to say to us or just Lysle?)
[22:06] Kuonji: (the King flashbacks in We Love Katamari are awesome)
[22:06] Sheena: "We may be called away next week, but for right now your stuck with us'
[22:07] Mani: "Until we get orders to the contrary, we're planning to stick with you."
[22:07] Alathon: Martha nods.
[22:07] Alathon: Martha: "We'll be heading out tomorrow."
[22:07] Mani: (Everyone glomps Martha.)
[22:08] Alathon: ((lysle was just... horrible.. thank god we have you back!))
[22:08] Alathon: Martha: "If you don't mind me asking, how did.. things.. go?"
[22:08] Mani: "Pretty ... peacefully, actually."
[22:09] Sheena: "Out of our hands now"
[22:10] Alathon: Martha looks like she wants to ask more, but supresses the urge.
[22:10] Alathon: Martha: "Right>"
[22:10] Alathon: Martha: "I'm off leadership duty and back as an attache."
[22:10] Alathon: "Or guide.. or, whatever."
[22:11] * Mani is assuming Lysle passed on the actual info that was gained.
[22:12] Mani: "Which duty do you prefer?"
[22:12] Alathon: Martha looks surprised.. then indicisive.
[22:13] Alathon: Martha: "... I can do either."
[22:13] * Mani nods.
[22:13] Sheena: "Well, Now that you know we can kick ass with the best of em you wont have to worrie about halling our asses out of a battle zone,"
[22:13] Sheena: "And move right on to the fun"
[22:13] Mani: "Each has its ups and downs, I'm sure.
[22:14] Ken_Yamada: "Some more than others."
[22:15] * Ken_Yamada looks at Martha, "So, where to now?"
[22:16] Alathon: Martha: "I don't know... we were scheduled for more skirmishing, hit and run patrols."
[22:16] Alathon: Martha: "Lysle said something had come up, and we might be heading west instead."
[22:16] Alathon: She looks bothered by this.
[22:16] Mani: (Martha: "Really? What are the ups to leadership?" Mani: "*sigh* I was hoping you knew of some...")
[22:16] Alathon: Martha: ".. if we're heading west, that'd mean an incursion."
[22:16] * Mani frowns.
[22:16] Ken_Yamada: "That's trouble alright."
[22:17] * Reis rubs her cross, frowning slightly.
[22:17] Sheena: "Wants to even the score a bit huh?"
[22:17] Alathon: Martha looks a bit happier on hearing Sheena's words.
[22:18] Mani: (Think we'll get to combat tonight, Alathon?)
[22:19] Alathon: ((yes))
[22:19] Alathon: ((very soon ;p ))
[22:19] Alathon: That's pretty much all she has to say, unless you have something to ask.
[22:19] Kuonji: (oh good... I feel really lost ^^;)
[22:19] Reis: (Damn, I was hoping I modded Swordbreaker during the rest period and could use it like that...)
[22:20] Mani: (Ok, one question that would be posed by Mani to Sakura, Sheena, and Reis would be if they could think of any solutions to an invisible Sakura getting nailed by friendly fire. If anyone has something, pipe up.)
[22:20] Reis: (... Thermal vision?)
[22:20] Ken_Yamada: "By the way before we set off, Kuonji, can I have a word with you in private?"
[22:21] * Kuonji eyes Ken
[22:21] Kuonji: "Yes?"
[22:21] Mani: (Ken looks at the rest of the party standing around them. "More private than this...")
[22:21] * Ken_Yamada nods and walks aways from the group a bit
[22:22] * Kuonji follows
[22:22] Alathon: alright
[22:22] * Ken_Yamada waits until Sakura catches up before speaking.
[22:22] Alathon: they'll have their talk.. and unless someone chooses to bring up an alternate plan, what gets laid out early tomorrow is this.
[22:23] Alathon: ((you can do this in PM's))
[22:23] Alathon: the regular Texan forces are making a push along the western edge of their 'bulge'.
[22:23] Mani: (They walk a good distance away, I take it?)
[22:26] Alathon: This is a problem, because while most of the people west of Okie city have been evacuated, there's real estate they really do Not want the Texans holding
[22:26] Alathon: and basing out of
[22:27] Alathon: ((god mapquest is fucking a pain))
[22:27] Alathon: They're currently pressing towards a town of moderate size, Clinton
[22:27] Ken_Yamada: (*Waits for Sakura to finish loading*)
[22:27] Kuonji: (use google maps)
[22:28] Mani: (Google added a nice new function to their driving directions.)
[22:28] Alathon: ((google is Microsoft's enemy. I will not touch their filth))
[22:29] Alathon: ((it is anathema to me))
[22:29] Mani: (You can drag the path on the map to make it take certain roads and it'll update the directions to take that into account.)
[22:29] Mani: (Afraid of getting hit by a flying chair, huh?)
[22:29] Alathon: ((heh))
[22:30] Alathon: KC's 1st, and two dozen other platoons are heading over that way in force
[22:30] Alathon: with more behind them.
[22:30] Alathon: They're hoping to make it there quickly enough to avoid house ot house fighting.. which results in a lot of property damage, and isn't as advantageous for the AFS forces.
[22:30] Alathon: Hence wakign you all up at dawn.
[22:31] Alathon: anything in particular you all wanna do/discuss long the way?
[22:31] Alathon: the accomodations are the same: humvee
[22:32] Ken_Yamada: roll 1d20
[22:32] Ala-bot: Ken_Yamada rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{19}
[22:32] Reis: (Good time to roll well)
[22:32] Ken_Yamada: (Great, I could've used that in combat. T_T)
[22:32] Mani: (Random number generators don't work that way. :p )
[22:33] Reis: (THIS way, all your combat rolls won't suck due to horrific modifiers)
[22:33] Alathon: After most of a day of travel.. word filters back.. that's not happening. They've got clinton.
[22:33] Alathon: And the AFS is gonna take it back from them.. which means some ugly house to house fighting.
[22:33] Alathon: The vibe you get off Martha (and any other Riders around) is that this is unfortunate, but no disaster.. they have the Texans measure, and can take them
[22:33] Mani: "Should we try to avoid leveling houses?"
[22:33] Alathon: Martha does, however, have a question.
[22:34] Alathon: Martha: "I.. generally, yes."
[22:34] Alathon: Martha: "Not so much because of the property damage, but because of the risk of friendly fire."
[22:34] Alathon: Martha, tired; "It's a foregon conclusion that by the time we've cleaned them out, a quarter of the town will be in flames."
[22:34] Sheena: "Hmm, So i can't just make half the city blow up? shame"
[22:35] Alathon: Martha shakes her head.

[Alathon]

Session 44 - part 2

[22:35] Alathon: Martha: "Nope."
[22:35] Mani: "Ok, so if we're sure there are no good guys in a house, it's no great loss if the house is flattened."
[22:35] Alathon: Martha: "Sure, just be careful."
[22:35] Alathon: Martha: "I've seen what you all can do.. you have attacks of a similar calibre to my own, and even Riders don't shrug those off."
[22:35] Sheena: "Duno, going door to door kicking ass sounds sorta fun"
[22:35] * Reis nods.
[22:36] Mani: "So, will there be civilians and other friendlies running around the town before we get there?"
[22:36] Alathon: Martha shakes her head.
[22:36] Alathon: Martha: "No, the town is clear.. it's just too valuable as real estate to allow them to hold and fortify."
[22:36] Alathon: Martha: "There's.. somethign else."
[22:36] Sheena: "Wait.. If the town is clear why dont reis and i do a fly by?"
[22:36] Mani: "Reis and Sheena have very good range. They could conceivably soften the enemy up a bit if we let them fire first..."
[22:36] Alathon: Martha: "Hm?"
[22:37] Ken_Yamada: "I get the impression that some of the real estate value comes from the buildings still standing."
[22:37] Alathon: Martha: "What sort of area effects can you generate? Enough to level quarter mile chunks?"
[22:37] Sheena: "Yes"
[22:37] * Reis frowns and nods. "We could probably wipe out a massive portion of enemy forces with bombardment fire."
[22:37] Alathon: Martha: "it does, Ken.. but.. tradeoffs could be made."
[22:37] * Reis shakes her head. "Not in one blow."
[22:38] * Ken_Yamada frowns and shakes his head.
[22:38] Alathon: ((if you add up how much territory you can level with yoru EP pools, it's actually not that much))
[22:38] Alathon: ((with radiuses of like 40 ft))
[22:38] Sheena: (oh?)
[22:38] Ken_Yamada: "You know, forget I said anything."
[22:38] Sheena: ahh, hmm
[22:38] Alathon: ((keep in mind that's essentially 2-4 houses per shot. in a city))
[22:38] Sheena: (what about my beam on spreading?)
[22:38] Mani: (Town, yes?)
[22:38] Alathon: ((town))
[22:39] Alathon: ((but not like.. wild west town with one street.. actually you should ask baout that))
[22:39] Ken_Yamada: "What kind of a town is this place anyway?"
[22:39] Alathon: Martha: "We'd like to keept he town intact, but if we can take it away from them with no loss of life.."
[22:39] Sheena: "What the towns layout like?"
[22:40] Alathon: Martha: "Um.. I've never been there. Nothing special, from what I've heard.. a few square miles of residential area, a commercial center.. some ranches and farms up against it."
[22:40] Mani: "If we could identify some large concentrations of the enemy, even blasts smaller than a quarter mile could be helpful."
[22:40] Sheena: "My explosions are ok.. But my real power is in the high engery beams like i used before"
[22:40] Sheena: "I could probly blast a path from one end of the city to the other, or at lest a mile into it."
[22:40] Sheena: "Not saying anything in the way would be dead.. but most. yes"
[22:41] Mani: (So Sheena has a kamehameha?)
[22:41] Sheena: (where have you been?)
[22:42] Alathon: Martha: "That's the trick, isn't it."
[22:42] Ken_Yamada: (And it's powerlevel is over NINE THOUSAND, right?)
[22:42] Sheena: (depends on how al handles the rules for spreading and range)
[22:42] Sheena: (his call)
[22:42] Sheena: "Another problem"
[22:42] Alathon: ((I'd have to rule that a spreading attack, that has really long range, doesn't spread wider over the course of that range))
[22:42] Sheena: "We should be on the look out for that mages teammates and other mercs"
[22:42] Alathon: ((it's not gonna blow up the whole city if you use it at the right angle))
[22:43] Alathon: ((if you want to level a city, you need multiple ranks of AE))
[22:43] Sheena: (Corse not, but blow a nice hole in it...)
[22:43] Sheena: (how multiple? sheena got 5 in her bra :P )
[22:43] Alathon: ((... it wouldn't go that far, even with AP.. structures have hp))
[22:43] Ken_Yamada: (Sheena wears a BRA!? O_O)
[22:44] Alathon: ((true, but you can't use five at once, not with the cartridge system you've currently got installed))
[22:44] Sheena: (right)
[22:44] Sheena: (and two isnt that big only 80 feet)
[22:44] Alathon: *nod*
[22:44] Alathon: in fact
[22:44] Alathon: knowledge, military sciences rolls everyone
[22:45] Alathon: that's 1+int for most of you, if not all of you
[22:45] Mani: roll 1d20+5
[22:45] Kuonji: roll 1d20+5
[22:45] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{8}
[22:45] Reis: roll 1d20+7
[22:45] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{23}
[22:45] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{26}
[22:45] Sheena: Roll 1d20+5
[22:45] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{21}
[22:46] Sheena: (sheena has MS, go fig)
[22:47] Ken_Yamada: roll 1d20+4 Millitary sciences
[22:47] Ala-bot: Ken_Yamada rolled 1d20+4 Millitary sciences --> [ 1d20=4 ]{8}
[22:48] Alathon: Martha: "I'm not sure how much that will help.:"
[22:48] * Sheena eyes narrow a bit
[22:48] Alathon: Martha: "The most you could hope to catch in any several buildings would be.. a few dozen."
[22:49] Sheena: "We really need to cut there numbers.. by a lot"
[22:50] Alathon: Martha: "We've been doing that for two decades."
[22:50] Alathon: Martha shakes her head.
[22:50] * Sheena pulls out her com and gets to work on something.
[22:50] Alathon: Martha: "It's a rare battle with them where we take less than ten of them for every one of us."
[22:50] Sheena: "Im sending these numbers to the boss along with this new info"
[22:50] Reis: ("Okay, seriously, these rednecks BREED too much!")
[22:51] Kuonji: (hey, maybe they took Bill Hicks advice and put centerfolds in the bible)
[22:51] Mani: (Time to bring in the biological weapons.)
[22:51] Kuonji: (Miss. Deutoronamy)
[22:51] Ken_Yamada: ("Umm... they're Rednecks.")
[22:52] Alathon: Martha: "The question I've got is this. Lysle wants me to run a squad. You all have shown you can handle yourselves.."
[22:52] Alathon: Martha: "As far as I'm concerned, you're free to position yourselves as you see fit.. assuming you have the good sense not to set youselves in a field of fire."
[22:52] * Sheena looks at mani.
[22:53] Sheena: "How about you give us a pice of town to clean. And we handle that."
[22:53] Mani: "Hmm."
[22:53] Sheena: "Less cross fire that way, personaly i dont wana get fried if i need to fly"
[22:53] * Mani sits back and thinks.
[22:54] Ken_Yamada: "And if the enemy get's smart and decides to concentrate on another part of town we're not in?"
[22:54] Alathon: Martha: "We'll handle them."
[22:54] Alathon: Martha: "With you or without you.. no disrespect intended."
[22:54] Reis: "Then the Riders kill them and are supported when we finish and move to join them,"
[22:55] * Ken_Yamada waves his hands dismissively
[22:55] Sheena: "Watch out for flying mages who magic looks like mine martha, like that one women we caught"
[22:55] Sheena: "They will be powerfull"
[22:55] Mani: "What's the terrain like around the town?"
[22:55] Alathon: Martha nods at Sheena.
[22:56] Alathon: Martha: "Mostly.. flat."
[22:56] * Mani frowns.
[22:56] Mani: "Mostly... Any hills or mountains nearby?"
[22:58] Alathon: Martha: "Not that much, in the scheme of things."
[22:58] Alathon: Martha: "Nothing like the western mountains."
[22:58] Alathon: ((I really can't tell from the maps of Oklahoma I'm looking at, just what sort of terrain is around Clinto))
[22:58] Mani: "What I'm looking for is a vantage point that could look down on the town."
[22:58] Alathon: ((so for the purpose of this session, it's flat. sigh))
[22:58] Alathon: Martha looks over at Sheena, then Reis.
[22:59] Alathon: "Why do you even need a vantage point, with fliers?"
[23:00] Mani: "Because much as I want us to help as much as we can in this fight, my orders make it clear that such is not our first priority."
[23:01] * Sheena frowns
[23:01] Mani: "If there's a vantage point that looks down on the city, this will be a very good opportunity to gather data. A flier is likely to attract f ire, and I'd rather not tie up one of us personally."
[23:01] Ken_Yamada: "Hmm, indeed. Also, a good vantage point would provide an excellent place to snipe from."
[23:01] * Kuonji frowns as well
[23:01] Alathon: Martha, doubtfully: "Um.. what can you gather?"
[23:01] Sheena: "Are secoundy orders tho... hmm"
[23:01] Alathon: Martha: "There's no line of sight past the nearest buildings."
[23:01] Mani: "If there's a spot where a recording device could be placed, that would allow all of us to participate."
[23:02] Alathon: Martha: "And they can see us coming readily enough to get out of the streets.."
[23:02] Alathon: Martha looks a little surprised at this.
[23:02] Alathon: Martha: "Um.."
[23:03] Alathon: Martha shakes her head
[23:03] Alathon: ((and now that I've got a map that works.. no.. it's flat))
[23:03] Alathon: ((a whole lot of flat))
[23:03] Alathon: Martha: "The best I can imagine is setting one up on a humvee, and that's really not much height."
[23:04] * Ken_Yamada frowns for a moment.
[23:04] Ken_Yamada: "You know... I might have an idea."
[23:04] Alathon: Martha: "Hmm?"
[23:04] Sheena: "We give martha and extra com and leave it on record?"
[23:04] * Ken_Yamada bends down, and micks up a rock, and holds it in his hand as enigma appears.
[23:04] Ken_Yamada: "If this is the comm..."
[23:05] * Ken_Yamada says as Enigma levetates it a good height off his hand."
[23:05] Mani: "Have Enigma hold it high in the air?"
[23:05] Ken_Yamada: "Yep."
[23:05] Mani: "That may well work if he can hold it high enough. And it's small enough that it shouldn''t be noticed."
[23:05] Alathon: Martha: "And he's invisible.."
[23:05] Alathon: Martha: "Isn't he?"
[23:05] * Mani nods.
[23:06] Mani: "He can be."
[23:06] * Ken_Yamada looks at Enigma as it fades out from view.
[23:06] * Ken_Yamada looks back at Martha with a small smirk
[23:06] Alathon: Martha: "Problem solved?"
[23:06] Ken_Yamada: "Well, let me just say this first."
[23:07] Mani: "How long before we get to Clinton? Ane more stops before then?"
[23:07] Ken_Yamada: "Enigma can only work from a limited range."
[23:07] Mani: "Range from you?"
[23:07] Alathon: Martha: "None.. we'll be hitting them just after dawn."
[23:07] Ken_Yamada: "Beyond that, and he... auto-dismisses."
[23:07] Mani: (We're on the road now or stopped?)
[23:07] * Ken_Yamada nods at Mani."
[23:07] Ken_Yamada: "Correct."
[23:07] Mani: "How far?"
[23:08] Ken_Yamada: "Enigma can only exist within one mile away from me, any firther and... I kinda lose contact and he auto-dismisses."
[23:08] Alathon: Yuuno: "So keep him a mile overhead?"
[23:08] Alathon: Yuuno: "Or three quarters of a mile, or something?"
[23:08] * Ken_Yamada nods
[23:08] Ken_Yamada: "Well, the thing is, he can't fly."
[23:09] Mani: "How high could he lift a comm?"
[23:09] Reis: "He can levitate things, including himself, can't he?"
[23:10] Mani: ("No! You need the flight attribute to do that!" :) )
[23:10] Ken_Yamada: "Hmm, well if he can lift about a hundred tons..."
[23:10] Sheena: "Wait what?"
[23:10] * Ken_Yamada frowns in thought, and blinks at Sheena...
[23:10] Sheena: "Ken.. You should have him with you chucking buildings around then"
[23:11] Ken_Yamada: "Huh? And get the Harleyriders all crushed with the Texans?"
[23:11] Mani: "Friendly fire."
[23:11] Alathon: Martha: "That's just the sort of thing we'd like to avoid."
[23:11] * Sheena sighs
[23:11] Sheena: "I did ask for our own area to clear, but ok"
[23:12] Mani: "Come on, Sheena. You should know by now that battles are never neat and organized."
[23:12] * Ken_Yamada has enigma lower the rock into his hand again and weighs it...
[23:12] Mani: "Fighting is going to spill from area to area."
[23:13] Sheena: "Guess i work on mutile targeting then"
[23:13] Sheena: "Noproblem"
[23:13] Mani: "And we still need to take this opportunity to get a good view of this battle."
[23:13] Ken_Yamada: "Hmm... It's about the right weight," he says as he does the math in his head.
[23:14] Ken_Yamada: "About 500 feet."
[23:14] Sheena: "I all ready got about a couple big reports being worked on mani"
[23:14] Ken_Yamada: "Enigma can lift the comm about up to about that high."
[23:14] Sheena: "Lots of info from the last battle, even tho i got distracted by that mage"
[23:14] Ken_Yamada: Is that good enough?"
[23:14] Mani: (Are there any lockouts we can set on a comm?)
[23:14] Alathon: hmmm
[23:14] Mani: (So it's not so useful if it's lost?)
[23:14] Sheena: (lockouts?)
[23:15] Alathon: and still have it recording? at this point no
[23:15] Alathon: that's something you should bring up with Usagi perhaps
[23:15] Alathon: As R&D could certainly mod them to have that capability, or write scripts that do that
[23:15] Alathon: actually..
[23:15] Ken_Yamada: (Enigma can always crush it if it ever comes to that)
[23:15] Alathon: reis could reasonably do that
[23:15] Mani: "It may be, Ken."
[23:15] Alathon: I think.. lemme check
[23:16] Alathon: nope
[23:16] Alathon: wait there it is
[23:16] Alathon: computer use
[23:16] Alathon: the answer is, not by default, but something like that could be scripted -- and reis could do it
[23:16] Alathon: so as far as you know, no
[23:17] Mani: "This is a different situation and a different type of battle, Sheena. Did you get an overview of the last battle we were in, by the way?"
[23:17] Reis: (So comment on how you'd like a lockout :P )
[23:17] Sheena: "Yes,"
[23:17] Sheena: "Like i said its a large report"
[23:17] Ken_Yamada: "Might wanna put a lockout on the comm, just in case it fell into the wrong hands and stuff.
[23:17] Ken_Yamada: "
[23:17] Mani: (Ken apparently has the ability to read ooc statements...)
[23:18] Ken_Yamada: (Gah, I thought that was said IN character for some reason. ><;)
[23:18] Ken_Yamada: Retcon that
[23:18] Mani: (In the future, when I ask the DM something before addressing it in character, I'd appreciate it if you'd let *me* bring up my idea in character when it becomes apparent that it needs to be done.)
[23:19] Mani: "Mmm. Would be nice if there was a way to lock out most of the comm's functions in case it's lost..."
[23:19] Ken_Yamada: (*crawls into a box in shame and dies*)
[23:20] * Reis cocks her head slightly. "I think I could write up a script for that..."
[23:20] Alathon: ((good god, Reroute to Remain sucks))
[23:20] Alathon: You've got time, so you can take a ten and succeed.
[23:20] Mani: (If you honestly thought it was mentioned in character, don't worry too much about it.)
[23:21] Alathon: Anyways..
[23:21] Alathon: Martha: 'Anyways.."
[23:21] Alathon: Martha: "Assuming you've got your reconnaisance situation under control.."
[23:21] Alathon: Martha: "I'm not going to be with you, unless you want me there."
[23:21] Mani: "It sounds like it. We'll have to figure out how Ken's going to operate, but the basic problem seems handled."
[23:22] Alathon: Martha: "strictly speaking, I've got standing orders to function as liason, and only an informal request to.."
[23:22] * Mani thinks.
[23:23] Mani: "The only problem I see if we separate is we don't really know who to talk to or what your standard practices are. Having you around would smooth things like that out, but if you'd really rather be somewhere else, I understand."
[23:24] Alathon: Martha looks a little relieved, even thankful.
[23:24] Alathon: Martha: "I'd rather not turn down the request.."
[23:24] Alathon: Martha: "And I wouldn't worry too much. None of you could pass muster as texan scum."
[23:24] Alathon: Martha: "And word's gotten around, at least a bit."?
[23:24] Alathon: ((no ?))
[23:25] Sheena: (it has?)
[23:25] Alathon: ((I dunno, you ask her))
[23:25] Mani: "I'm not really worried about that. I just forsee some confusion in finding out where to go and what to do. Nothing major, most likely."
[23:25] Sheena: "Oh? It has?"
[23:25] Alathon: Martha nods.
[23:26] Alathon: Martha: "Well.. once we've got control of the city, things will settle down.. we'll set up camp somewhere on the perimiter."
[23:26] Mani: "Among the other companies, too?"
[23:26] Alathon: Martha: "We should be able to hook up there."
[23:26] Alathon: Martha: "Well.."
[23:26] Alathon: Martha: "There've been a lot of rumors, since the first military observers.. your 'Marines', came over."
[23:26] Alathon: Martha: "So the uniform's nothing new."
[23:27] Alathon: Martha: "And people like hearing good news.. like to throw around stories that say someone will be throwing in with us."
[23:27] Alathon: Martha shrugs a little, as if to say it's not her fault.
[23:27] Mani: "Hnh. I thought people preferred to throw around bad news and rumors of doom."
[23:27] Alathon: Martha grins wryly.
[23:28] Alathon: Martha: "Oh, they do.. but we've had our fill of that, and then some."
[23:28] Alathon: Martha: "It's nice to have a change of pace now and then."
[23:28] Alathon: Martha: "Since Okie City, everyone's been in a bit of a funk.."
[23:28] Alathon: Her expression darkens.
[23:29] Sheena: "Improve moral by blowing the hell out of ust? Can do"
[23:29] Alathon: Martha: "That's how it works."
[23:29] * Sheena looks over at reis
[23:30] Sheena: "Think you can adjust for urben warfare and close rage combat?"
[23:30] Sheena: "Well.. close range in our case being a couple blocks"
[23:30] Reis: ("I did, but I don't have the character sheet vetted yet ;_;" )
[23:31] Sheena: (i got a street sweaper idea for DH in my mind to... heh)
[23:31] Mani: "Hm... from what you said about the size of the town, Ken could go a fair way into it if he needs to..."
[23:31] Alathon: ((wel, after this battle, you'll have lots of reason to understand why the changes were necessary reis ;p ))
[23:32] * Reis frowns and nods. "We've been doing it all but exclusively since I joined... I think I'm used to it, and my programming's been modified."
[23:32] Alathon: ((actually.. it looks likew e're not gonna get to the fight this week
[23:32] Alathon: ((sigh))
[23:32] Reis: ("Though you're not likely to see it.")
[23:32] Reis: (Should I feel bad for wanting to say 'Woot', given the circumstances?)
[23:32] Alathon: ((yes? ;p ))
[23:32] Mani: (I can live with that. At least I don't have to risk doing stupid things because I'm tired.)
[23:33] Ken_Yamada: "Maybe... I'd rather snipe from range all the same. Nothing I can do about that though."
[23:33] Mani: (Of course, that means next week I won't have an excuse. :) )
[23:33] Alathon: Martha: "Well.. Ken could go all the way into it, if your.. recorder.. is being held above it, right?"
[23:33] Mani: "He can't go more than a mile from Enigma."
[23:33] * Ken_Yamada nods
[23:33] Ken_Yamada: "Yeah."
[23:33] Alathon: Martha: "Well, if Ken keeps Enigma nearby.."
[23:33] Alathon: Martha: "Say, a bit back."
[23:34] Mani: "Mm. Won't get as much of the town in view, but could still get a bit."
[23:34] Alathon: Martha: "True.. I'll leave it to you."
[23:35] Mani: "We'll have to see how the battle goes."
[23:35] Alathon: Yuuno: "Hmm.. Sheena, how much do you want me to get into things?"
[23:35] Mani: "Is there a general plan of attack?"
[23:35] Alathon: YUuno: "I've been trying to keep a low profile, and save my strength for teleports in a pinch.."
[23:35] Ken_Yamada: "Well, if it means having to wander into the town a bit to get a good vantage point for the comm, I can handle it. I've got my new best friends and all."
[23:36] Alathon: Martha: "Plan of attack is to go in hard and fast.. we can bait them into stupid fights on the road, but they've long since learned better when they've got any sort of cover handy."
[23:36] Mani: "Frankly, *not* wandering into town will probably give the best vantage point."
[23:36] * Sheena goes still for a moment..
[23:36] Alathon: Martha: "Best we can do is get in the mix as fast as possible, to take heavy artillery out of the equation."
[23:36] Mani: "But if you need to go more than a mile into town, you can move Enigma in with you."
[23:36] Ken_Yamada: "Right."
[23:36] Sheena: "Yuuno, if you end up dieing on me again, there likly wont be much town left after me and ries finsh"
[23:37] Sheena: "Did you have something in mind tho?"
[23:37] Alathon: Yuuno: "Honestly.. not really."
[23:37] Mani: "Now, I don't want you to be alone, Ken. Especially if Enigma is busy with something besides protecting you."
[23:37] Alathon: Yuuno: "There's something I'd meant to discuss with you, but.. it won't really matter for a battle like this, at least, I don't think so."
[23:37] Sheena: "What, no new tricks hwile you where done?"
[23:38] Sheena: *gone
[23:38] Alathon: Yuuno: "Nothing that'll matter against thousands of enemies."
[23:38] Alathon: Yuuno: "More..w ell.. soemthing for isolating single, powerful enemies."
[23:39] Sheena: "Oh.. interesting"
[23:39] * Reis bows slightly. "I look forward to seeing it, sensei."
[23:39] Mani: "Would a position like a rooftop suit you, Ken?"
[23:39] Mani: "Or would you rather be mobile at ground level?"
[23:39] Alathon: Martha frowns.
[23:40] * Ken_Yamada looks at Mani
[23:40] Alathon: Martha: "I don't know about rooftops. IN the scheme of things, they're a lot more exposed than windows.. or even doorways."
[23:40] Alathon: Martha: "But that's just my two cents."
[23:40] Ken_Yamada: "If it's of sufficient elevation, that'd be perfect."
[23:40] Alathon: roll 1d20+4
[23:40] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{21}
[23:41] Mani: "Mm. Not much cover on the roofs, then?"
[23:41] Alathon: Ken remembers that if he can see them, they can see him ;p
[23:41] Ken_Yamada: "Unfortunately, there aren't any such buildings from memory... So, we can more or less toss that idea out the window.":
[23:41] Mani: "Fans, chimneys, etc."
[23:41] Mani: "Water tanks..."
[23:42] Alathon: Er, what do you mean? from memory? you've never been there
[23:42] Ken_Yamada: ([14:48] <@Alathon> Ken remembers that if he can see them, they can see him ;p <- Did I misinterpret that line?)
[23:42] Alathon: uh
[23:42] Ken_Yamada: (If so, forget what I just said.)
[23:42] Mani: (Mani: "Solar collector units, cell towers..." Martha: "What?")
[23:42] Alathon: it just means that if you are standing out on a high point.. and can see a lot of hte battlefield.. a lot of the battlefield can see you
[23:42] Alathon: and they have guns
[23:43] Sheena: "For the fight yuuno, just stay safe. And ready with your transfer"
[23:43] Alathon: Yuuon: "Right."
[23:43] Ken_Yamada: (Lemme ammend that then)
[23:43] Ken_Yamada: "If I can see them, it generally means they can see me too... and they have more guns than I do."
[23:44] Mani: "Mm. I was thinking there'd be cover on the roof, but I see that may not be the case."
[23:44] Mani: "Maybe we can find you an attic window or something."
[23:45] Sheena: "We are likly going to be going door to door"
[23:45] Alathon: Martha: "Just keep in mind that there won't be any static battle line.. at least, not for any appreciable period of time."
[23:45] Sheena: "Mani you canprobly walk down the middle of the street taking all comers."
[23:45] Mani: "Right. When he runs out of targets, he can move forward some."
[23:46] Mani: "I'll stay close, in case trouble finds him."
[23:46] Sheena: "Ken, You should arm for fast, close ranged combat"
[23:46] Sheena: "Use cover, and all that stuff"
[23:46] * Ken_Yamada nods.
[23:46] Ken_Yamada: "Gurrelia tactics. Gottcha."
[23:47] Mani: "What do you think, Ken? Take up a series of sniping positions or stay on the move, firing from cover as you can?"
[23:48] Mani: "We'll stay together, you and I."
[23:48] Ken_Yamada: "In this case, I'll stay on the move. It's better that way I think."
[23:48] * Ken_Yamada nods.
[23:48] Sheena: "Hmm, me and reis then. With sakura doing ninja stuff.."
[23:49] Mani: "All right. Unfortunately, you'll be short a comm, but I'll stay within earshot."
[23:49] * Reis nods. "Good luck, senpai."
[23:49] Ken_Yamada: "Right. I'll make sure to keep that in mind."
[23:49] Sheena: "We got some time... Reis how about a little late night strip and rebuild?"
[23:49] Sheena: "Me and you can see about cutting down some of these advancd numbers"
[23:50] Mani: "Sakura, I think it'd be best if you stay somewhat close to us."
[23:50] Mani: (Stop hitting on Reis! :) )
[23:50] * Kuonji nods
[23:50] Reis: "Yes, I've been working on that since the camp actually..."
[23:50] Sheena: "Oh good, Dark Heart is adjustable, i just never had a reason before"
[23:50] Ken_Yamada: (Hit on her any harder, and she'll have bruises!)
[23:50] Alathon: ((hickies?))
[23:50] * Kuonji hmmms
[23:51] Ken_Yamada: (Those too. ;P)
[23:51] Alathon: Yuuno: "Yeah.. this is gonna be confusing enough, we don't want any more.. um.. accidents."
[23:51] Alathon: Yuuno's looking at Martha when he says this.
[23:51] Alathon: She can't really tell, seeing as she's driving and looking forward.
[23:51] Mani: (How much longer do you think we'll go, Alathon?)
[23:52] Alathon: ((until this scene is done))
[23:52] Alathon: ((which is probably not very long, as it's pretty exhausted))
[23:52] Ken_Yamada: "Right... So, you'll be with us then, Proffessor?"
[23:52] Alathon: Yuuno: "Yup. Conveniently located behind something at all times."
[23:52] Mani: (Is he looking at Sheena's chest when he says tihs? :) )
[23:52] Ken_Yamada: "Right... Feel free to use me as a human shielf if the need arises," he says with a joking smirk.
[23:52] Alathon: Yes.
[23:53] Kuonji: (heh)
[23:53] Ken_Yamada: ^shield
[23:53] Reis: (Dunno, human shelf works too)
[23:53] Alathon: Anyways...
[23:53] Alathon: the discussion will continue on through the night, in patches.. as people decide how best to handle the coming battle
[23:54] Alathon: Sheena and Reis will no doubt find some time to hunker down over their devices making last minute adjustments
[23:54] Alathon: And..
[23:54] Alathon: End here.
[23:54] *** Kuonji is now known as Ataru.
[23:54] *** Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf.
[23:54] * Mani asks if anyone has come up with possible solutions to frying our inivisble ninja.
[23:54] Ataru: sorry I wasn't more involved... between the connection, and the fact that I feel like utter shit...
[23:54] Mani: Luckily, ending here will give people time to actually think about it. :)
[23:54] *** Mani is now known as Yarrow.
[23:54] Sheena: Well
[23:54] *** Ken_Yamada is now known as Rockman_Zero.
[23:55] Sheena: Sheena can't actuly shoot him any more
[23:55] Alathon: *nod*
[23:55] Rockman_Zero: Despite my late arrival, I'm happy.
[23:55] Ataru: she can't?
[23:55] *** Sheena is now known as DCG.
[23:55] DCG: "Nope
[23:55] Rockman_Zero: I managed to do two things I'm rather proud of.
[23:55] DCG: dark heart can not be used aginst any one from cystaly tokyo any more.
[23:55] Rockman_Zero: I've managed to get Ken to patch up things with Sakura...
[23:55] DCG: watching rei get her staff ripped away a couple times got sheena thinking about the dangers of that.
[23:56] Yarrow: What, completely? :)
[23:56] Rockman_Zero: And, I came up with an idea that totally fits in with the Role I intended for Enigma. ;_;
[23:56] Pale_Wolf: Oh?
[23:56] Rockman_Zero: I dunno if it was a good idea or not...
[23:56] Pale_Wolf: How'd you work that, DC?
[23:56] Rockman_Zero: But it's the sort of thing I had in mind for when I was making Enigma in the first place.
[23:56] DCG: sooo... ken's trying on the cursed gender ring to sleep bettter at night?
[23:56] Yarrow: The comm thing?
[23:57] Rockman_Zero: Yeah.
[23:57] DCG: In the iop listing wolf
[23:57] Rockman_Zero: Way I built Enigma, is that it's Ken's tool... and as such, it plays a mostly supportive role in things.
[23:57] Rockman_Zero: Or at least, it's meant to.
[23:57] DCG: you can add a CP to the price of the iop
[23:57] DCG: to restrict it in some way
[23:57] DCG: One of thoes ways is goddess...
[23:57] Rockman_Zero: It's why I got it the six ranks of Telekinesis I did.
[23:58] DCG: Witch led to sheena asking the pincess of her mom was a goddess, heh
[23:58] Ataru: is she?
[23:58] Ataru: if she is, then us not being able to get rez spells is bull
[23:58] * Ataru shakes an angry fist
[23:59] Rockman_Zero: Alathon: XP?
[23:59] Rockman_Zero: And do I get half for being late?
[23:59] Pale_Wolf: Well, that doesn't restrict targets.
[23:59] Pale_Wolf: That just restricts who can USE it.
[23:59] Pale_Wolf: Which is still real handy.
[00:00] Alathon: and yeah rz you get half
[00:00] Alathon: um
[00:00] Alathon: 2880 exp for the session
[00:01] Alathon: and lets talk about times to mod IoPs
[00:01] Rockman_Zero: so... 1440 for me then.
[00:01] * Rockman_Zero nods

[Alathon]

Session 45

[18:04] Alathon: anyways
[18:04] Alathon: lets get started
[18:04] Alathon: we left off last session on the eve of a nasty bit of fighting..
[18:04] *** Yarrow is now known as Mani.
[18:05] Alathon: With a force of a thousand or so harleyriders and the party moving to 'liberate' the town of Clinton from Texan forces.
[18:06] Alathon: Liberate in only hte most general sense, as the town was already evacuated. However, the Riders really don't want to allow the UST a forward base to stage out of, or allow them to push their lines in general.
[18:06] Mani: (Clinton vs the Texan enemy.)
[18:06] Alathon: Ken has arranged for Enigma to carry a comm unit well above the party, to observe the battle as a whole and record it
[18:06] Alathon: ((subtle, isn't it?))
[18:07] Mani: (I suppose whatever happens, Clinton will come out of it ok. :) )
[18:07] Sheena: (as a side note i love these bose headphones, omg they rock)
[18:07] Alathon: With this party there? dunno about that
[18:07] Alathon: Clinton can survive a lot, but high energy AE blasts.. I dunno ;p
[18:08] Reis: (Well... Presuming 'okay' is flexible enough to include massive trenches cut through the cityscape...)
[18:08] Alathon: Martha has explained what will happen, and the plan is very, very simple.
[18:08] Alathon: Drive up, dismount, and clear the town on foot.
[18:08] Sheena: (badass level riseing)
[18:09] Sheena: (corse i guess this is about whats expected from a gaint biker gang.
[18:09] Alathon: Martha: "I wish there were a better way, beyond a certain point, the hogs are more of a hinderance than help."
[18:09] Mani: (Tanks.)
[18:10] * Mani nods.
[18:10] Alathon: If it soudns wierd, ask why ;p
[18:10] Alathon: "Loud, large targets.. no cover.. and plenty of inertia to make getting shot off hurt even more."
[18:10] Sheena: "This is fine, We can handle it"
[18:10] Alathon: Martha: "Most of the Texans will be holed up inside buildings."
[18:10] * Reis nods. "It's hard to imagine them being useful in street-to-street combat..."
[18:10] * Sheena looks to the others,
[18:11] Sheena: "Just to be sure, There are no civilins remaining in town right?"
[18:11] Alathon: Martha: "None."
[18:11] Alathon: Martha: "If anyone stayed.. well.. odds are, the Texans found them."
[18:12] Sheena: (ahh crap)
[18:12] Sheena: " I see."
[18:12] * Reis frowns. "They... don't just capture civilians?"
[18:12] Alathon: Martha: "They capture them."
[18:12] Mani: "And they prefer to murder civilians?"
[18:13] Alathon: Martha: "And yes, they murder them. They prefer the term 'sacrifice for the glory of the Lord'."
[18:13] Alathon: Martha: "Murder's fine by me, though."
[18:13] Sheena: "Don't forget how there merc's are paid, Its not hard to imange what the prisons are used for"
[18:13] * Reis narrows her eyes. "I see."
[18:13] Mani: (Line recorded and ready to be used out of context. *beep*)
[18:13] Sheena: (heh)
[18:14] Alathon: Martha: "End result is.. if they aren't wearing Rider leathers or your own getup, you can reasonably assume they're hostile."
[18:14] * Sheena checks her gloves and boots and makes sure she has a couple extra power packs.
[18:15] Alathon: Martha: "There's a fair chance they'll have some feddies with them, for an operation of this size. Cannonfodder and all that."
[18:15] Mani: "They ever try to disguise themselves as civilians?"
[18:15] * Reis nods shortly, activating her sword.
[18:15] Alathon: Martha: "Hmmh."
[18:15] Sheena: "Feddies?"
[18:16] Alathon: Martha: "I don't think I've ever even heard of them doing that. Of course, their Eva's would probably vivisect them for wearing something unholy if they tried."
[18:16] Alathon: Martha: "Confederates."
[18:16] Alathon: Martha: "Conscripts."
[18:16] * Sheena summons dark heart to her in staff mode. It's missing the magzine and slide but nothign else is changed yet.
[18:16] Reis: (Hm. I didn't change the appearance.)
[18:16] Reis: (Gah! For that matter, I didn't design a fuku yet!)
[18:17] Sheena: (what kinda magical girl are ya!)
[18:17] Reis: (One who studies hard)
[18:17] Reis: (Ie, not a very good one)
[18:19] Alathon: Martha: "Probably.. ten, twelve minutes now before we hit the dirt."
[18:19] Reis: (Oh dear. Better hurry)
[18:19] Mani: "Conscripts, huh? Any reason to show mercy on them?"
[18:20] Alathon: Martha: "I'd feel bad for them if they weren't shooting at me."
[18:20] Alathon: Martha: "If they break, you can probably let 'em run."
[18:21] Sheena: "You takening off with another group still?
[18:21] Mani: "Ok. How can we tell them from the others?"
[18:21] Alathon: Martha: "Odds are it'll be hard for the Eva's to whip them back into line, fighting door to door."
[18:21] Alathon: "Grey uniforms."
[18:21] Alathon: "And yes, Sheena."
[18:21] Reis: ("That won't be a problem. Really, their difficulty will be in whipping them back into line while dead.")
[18:22] Sheena: "About how many eva's can we expect?"
[18:22] Sheena: "One or two a group?"
[18:23] Alathon: Martha, a little surprised: "For a force this size?"
[18:23] Alathon: Martha: "Hundreds."
[18:23] Sheena: (any one remember the rule for fireing at more then once target?)
[18:23] Alathon: Martha: "Rule of thumb, one Eva for every six Texans.. and probably another Eva for every dozen feddies, to keep 'em in line."
[18:23] Mani: "How do you and Reis plan to go into this, Sheena?"
[18:23] Reis: (Spreading. No penalties ;) )
[18:24] Alathon: if you can credibly hit them, -4 cumulative per additional target
[18:24] Sheena: "Walk door to door, you?"
[18:24] Alathon: i.e. if you're shooting a beam down a hallway, that works readily enough
[18:24] Alathon: we should probably discuss rules for combat vs mooks after this, depending on how the battle flows
[18:24] Reis: (Well, we honestly can't figure out the penalties and whatnot without knowing their level)
[18:24] Reis: (That's the big problem)
[18:25] Sheena: (i dont mind fighting mooks at all, story wise we got s lot of them to kill)
[18:25] Alathon: There's alternate suggested rules for mowing down low level characters in cinematic games.. but, we can discuss those later if they seem appropriate ;p
[18:25] Reis: (Yeah, I'm referring to those rules)
[18:25] Alathon: we haven't had a reall mass fight since.. um.. Northup
[18:26] Reis: (Without knowing the level, how can we calculate the penalties and all?)
[18:26] Mani: (We should have brought some convenient overturned trucks with us.)
[18:26] Sheena: (dm's suposed to, heh)
[18:26] Sheena: (if mani wants to blow them up that much im guessing these buildings to stillhave gas mains on the side of themn...)
[18:26] Reis: (I'll make great use of them ;) )
[18:26] Alathon: Martha: "I'd recommend giving the first few platoons time to head in first. They're picked crews, the best squads from up around Rapid City and Spearfish."
[18:27] Alathon: Martha: "Good enough to take it on the teeth from whatever the Texans have lined up at the outskirts and bounce back."
[18:27] * Sheena nods
[18:28] Alathon: Martha stops the humvee.
[18:28] Alathon: Around you, pretty much everyone is stopping.
[18:28] Sheena: "While i dont think we would have to much of a problem with it, you do know your trops better
[18:28] Alathon: If you look straight ahead, you can see the low rise of buildings not that far off.
[18:28] Mani: "Pretty much the same with Sakura scouting and Ken backing me up."
[18:28] Sheena: "Should we keep the coms on at all times guys?"
[18:28] Mani: "I figured you two might be planning to take to the air."
[18:29] Alathon: Martha starts to get out the air, then stops.
[18:29] Sheena: "I might, but i have adjusted for ground combat aginst well an army."
[18:29] Alathon: Martha: "If you do, be careful.. it's hard to mark someone at a few hundred feet in the air, and most of the fliers we've seen have been hostile."
[18:30] Alathon: Martha: "Anything else?"
[18:30] Mani: (They'll just make it a point to always wear hot pink in the air. Texan forces never wear hot pink.)
[18:30] Mani: "I suppose that's it."
[18:30] Sheena: "Not to much, cya when its over"
[18:30] * Reis nods.
[18:30] Alathon: Yuuno: "Be careful? Try not to get shot up too much?"
[18:30] Reis: (Side note, fuku is complete ;) )
[18:31] Alathon: Martha chuckles.
[18:31] Reis: "Good luck, Martha-san." She bows slightly.
[18:31] Mani: (You're in a humvee...)
[18:31] Reis: (Hey, it's doable ;) )
[18:31] Alathon: Martha: "Thank you Yuuno, Reis."
[18:31] Reis: (Tsu was bowing from a seated position from the entirety of the early sessions :P )
[18:31] Alathon: Martha: "Stay safe, and I'll meet you back here at the humvee in a day.. two, tops."
[18:32] * Reis turns to Mani, Ken, and Sakura, passing on the same sentiments.
[18:32] Mani: (And look what happened to her.)
[18:32] Mani: "Same to you, Martha."
[18:32] Alathon: Martha steps out, and closes the door behind her.
[18:32] Alathon: Kuonji: "Taichou, shall I accompany the forward elements and report?"
[18:33] Mani: "Ok, if you're staying on the ground, I think we should stay relatively close but probably target different houses in most cases."
[18:33] Sheena: "Right,"
[18:33] Mani: "Probably a good idea for now, Sakura. When the rest of us are ready to move out, I think scouting near us would be good."
[18:34] Sheena: "So, right or left side of the street?"
[18:34] Sheena: "Oh, sakura. Don't forget to recored what your watching if you can"
[18:34] Mani: "Doesn't matter to me. I suppose I'll take left."
[18:34] Mani: "Ken, remember to take cover whenever possible."
[18:35] * Sheena holds up her staff. "Dark Heart, war mode"
[18:35] Alathon: Sakura: "When have I ever forgotten something like that?"
[18:35] Alathon: Sakura vanishes. The door next to him opens, then closes.
[18:35] * Sheena : Dark Heart’s staff shrinks in on it self and seems to get a bit thicker. Dark Heart itself in surrounded by a 4 pronged grouping. The staff seems to darken a bit, Sheena’s uniform more so.
[18:35] Alathon: Ken: "Of course."
[18:35] Alathon: Yuuno looks a little surprised.
[18:35] * Reis watches Sheens's change, eager to see the new stuff in action.
[18:35] Alathon: Yuuno, impressed: "Been tinkering, have you?"
[18:36] Sheena: "Yes,"
[18:36] * Reis nods. "We both have, sensei."
[18:36] Reis: (Is this the 'lance' pic you've been tossing us, Sheens?)
[18:37] Sheena: "I looked over the numbers for the fight, and general planes. Has me a bit worried."
[18:37] Sheena: "Passes all that info on to the boss, but unless she pulls us out we should go in and help with what we can"
[18:37] Sheena: (no)
[18:37] Reis: (Gotcha)
[18:37] Sheena: (That lance and armor wont be thill sheena has time in CT, or al does something.)
[18:38] Alathon: You'll get time, sooner or later
[18:38] Sheena: (right, no hurrys. games well paced)
[18:38] Alathon: Off in the distance, the gunshots start.. first a few, then a lot.
[18:39] Mani: (No! Do not describe the battle in rhyme!)
[18:39] Sheena: "You ready reis?"
[18:39] Alathon: for combat purposes I'm not saying you haven't upgraded your armor spell
[18:39] Sheena: (props if you do0
[18:39] Reis: (Working it up ;) )
[18:39] Sheena: ()
[18:39] Alathon: seeing as you've paid the cp
[18:40] Alathon: the redesign and the increase in defensive power don't have to be synonymous unless you want 'em to be ;p
[18:40] Alathon: er
[18:40] Alathon: don't have to be linked, that is
[18:40] Sheena: (roger that)
[18:40] Alathon: Mani's comm beeps loudly, sakura's voice sounds proudly
[18:40] * Reis holds Swordbreaker forward. "Bandritter." "Jawohl."
[18:40] Alathon: "The Riders have engaged, against the texans war is waged."
[18:41] Reis: (Mani, you take the blame for implanting this thought)
[18:41] * Sheena Looks at dark heart for a moment..
[18:41] Sheena: "Dark Heart, Keep a body count would you? Myself, Reis, Mani, oh and ken if he manges."
[18:42] Alathon: Dark Heart: "xxxxxx"
[18:42] * Sheena smiles grimly
[18:42] * Reis raises an eyebrow.
[18:42] Alathon: If you look out the windows, most of the Riders have dismounted and are formed up in clumps.
[18:42] * Sheena opens her door to step out
[18:42] Sheena: "Shall we get some air?"
[18:43] Mani: "Ok. Give it a couple of minutes or so then come back and we'll go."
[18:43] Mani: (to Sakura)
[18:43] Mani: "Sounds good."
[18:43] * Mani gets out of the humvee.
[18:43] * Reis nods and steps out after Sheena.
[18:44] Alathon: Sakura: "It looks like the Riders are just shooting to provide cover.. they have already generated a good deal of gunsmoke."
[18:44] Alathon: Sakura, through the comm: "Columns of flame are being raised against some of them, and fields of spinning blades."
[18:44] Sheena: "I don't have a great deal of range any more but i can still open a door with the best of em"
[18:44] * Sheena says this to mani
[18:45] Mani: "I don't know... there's a fine art to being the perfect doorman."
[18:45] * Reis nods. "Don't worry senpai... My ranged abilities are still mostly intact. Please take care of me in short range."
[18:45] Alathon: Sakura, through the comm: "The Riders have reached the nearest buildings, and appear to be embroiled in melee combat."
[18:47] *** DCG has joined #crystaltokyo.
[18:47] Reis: (Gah. Welcome back)
[18:47] Reis: (Last line?)
[18:47] DCG: (you gota be shitting me, damn it wolfie dont pass your stuff around)
[18:47] DCG: 20:44] <Alathon> Sakura, through the comm: "Columns of flame are being raised against some of them, and fields of spinning blades."
[18:47] DCG: [20:44] <Sheena> "I don't have a great deal of range any more but i can still open a door with the best of em"
[18:47] DCG: [20:44] * Sheena says this to mani
[18:47] DCG: [20:46] * Sheena switchs hands with Dark heart for a moment and shakes off the other one.
[18:47] DCG: [20:46] * Disconnected
[18:47] Reis: (Not my fault!)
[18:47] *** Sheena has signed off IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by DCG))).
[18:47] *** DCG is now known as Sheena.
[18:48] Sheena: (got em)
[18:49] Sheena: "No problem reis, just stick close. And try to conserve magic"
[18:49] Alathon: Yuuno: "Alright.. I'm gonna try to stay in the background unless Sheena wants me to do something."
[18:49] * Reis nods.
[18:49] Sheena: "Just becarefull yuuno,"
[18:50] Alathon: hmm
[18:50] Alathon: theme music for this evening: Dark Tranquilty
[18:50] Alathon: .. tranquility
[18:51] Alathon: Anyways, time passes.
[18:51] Reis: (Where can one find it?)
[18:51] Alathon: At this part, the part is largely free to do what they will
[18:51] * Mani has Sakura return shortly if nothing worth staying with the Riders to watch is going on.
[18:51] Sheena: (i got cotton eye joe playing, it dont quite fit)
[18:52] * Reis will be trying to keep an eye on the battle, and waiting a little antsily for their time to go.
[18:52] Mani: (Oh, I should put that on, too. ;) )
[18:52] Alathon: dunno where you can find it for download, yhou can probably torrent it from somewhere
[18:52] * Sheena just waits near mani with dark heart at the ready, The cyrstal center hasn't dimmed since the shooting started"
[18:53] Reis: (No youtube videos with it or anything?)
[18:53] Alathon: Sakura, through the comm: "There looks to be something of a logjam at the outskirts."
[18:53] Alathon: Sakura, through the comm: "MOTHERFUCKER!"
[18:53] Reis: ((Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXlGldTPiPg)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXlGldTPiPg)
[18:53] Alathon: Sakura, a few moments later: "Pardon me, I was shot."
[18:53] Reis: (That?)
[18:54] Mani: (So much for the stealth training and high discipline of the ninja...)
[18:54] Alathon: yeah, but I'm listening to some of their more upbeat stuff
[18:54] Alathon: oh never mind.. and yeah, that
[18:54] * Reis 's eyes widen, and she leans over. "Are you all right?"
[18:54] Reis: (Wait, are they a group, not a song?)
[18:54] Alathon: ((They're a group))
[18:54] Mani: "Er, quite all right, Sakura. Anything serious?"
[18:54] Reis: (Which song in particular?)
[18:55] Alathon: well, I've got no beef with Lethe
[18:55] Alathon: Sakura, through the comm: "I will be in a moment. There's bullets everywhere.. I'm moving a bit north to get out of the way."
[18:56] Alathon: and, "Out of Nothing" was what I'd started with
[18:57] Sheena: "If you need backup just say so Sakura"
[18:57] Reis: (Wow, not one video with it on Youtube)
[18:57] Alathon: I don't know if they've done a video of it
[18:58] Alathon: Monochromatic Stains is pretty good too
[18:58] Alathon: Anyways.
[18:58] Alathon: Sakura pops into existance.
[18:59] Alathon: There's a noticeable series of red drips from a red splotch on his abdomen.
[18:59] * Mani looks him over.
[18:59] Mani: "Nice to heal fast, isn't it."
[18:59] Alathon: He looks fine, just.. a little irritated.
[18:59] Alathon: Sakura grins.
[18:59] Alathon: Sakura: "Yeah, it is."
[18:59] Sheena: "Cheaters"
[18:59] * Reis gasps. "Sakura-san..."
[19:00] Alathon: Sakura: "So.. what's our next move? It looks like the Riders are pushing through, but.. there's a lot of them."
[19:00] Alathon: Sakura: "Texans and Confederacy, I mean."
[19:00] Mani: (Are there areas we could go that aren't covered by the Riders?)
[19:00] Sheena: "Well, its only fair we go say hello to isnt it?"
[19:00] Alathon: You could certainly head around hte city from a different direction
[19:01] * Sheena makes sure her cloak is on tight
[19:01] Mani: (Other than that, we have to wait for the Riders to disperse into the city?)
[19:01] Alathon: Sakura: "Thinking of breaking up the Texan lines with a few big booms?"
[19:02] Sheena: "Or we can sneak around to an open side of the city, mani's call"
[19:02] Sheena: "Use'in the big stuff right now may type em off to call in heavy hitters of there own"
[19:02] Sheena: *tip
[19:03] * Reis nods. "Though... That may be a good thing, rather than getting caught in the city by _their_ heavy-hitters..."
[19:03] Alathon: Sakura: "If we do that, we risk having to fight large numbers of hostiles on our own.."
[19:03] Alathon: Sakura grins.
[19:03] Alathon: Sakura: "Not that that's a bad thing."
[19:03] Sheena: "Ya, the shame of it all"
[19:04] Mani: "We don't want to end up taking fire from our own allies."
[19:04] Sheena: "Dark heart, Add sakura to the score sheet if you can"
[19:04] Mani: "If we were to get in front of them."
[19:05] Alathon: Sakura: "Score sheet, huh? I like the sound of that."
[19:05] Alathon: Sakura: "Can it count decapitations too?"
[19:05] Sheena: "Do we want to deal with left overs tho? even if this isnt our fight. That would feel a bit.. insulting?"
[19:05] * Sheena holds up the altered dark heart. "I have no idea, Can you dark heart?"
[19:05] Alathon: Dark Heart: "xxxxxxx. xxxx."
[19:06] * Sheena riases an eye brow at that.
[19:06] Mani: "I expect the Riders will start thinning out as they get further into town."
[19:06] Sheena: "Well, dart heart has been move lively since the fighting broke out."
[19:06] Alathon: Sakura: "I can go back and have another look if you'd like?"
[19:07] Mani: "Yeah, why don't you do that."
[19:07] Sheena: "I think we should move in, soon"
[19:08] Alathon: Sakura: "Hai."
[19:08] Mani: "Look for someplace we can get into the action."
[19:08] Alathon: Sakura vanishes... a few minutes later, he'll report that the press is still on, with Harleyrider platoons rotating forward and back.
[19:09] Alathon: They've set up 'earthworks' from the enemy dead.
[19:09] Mani: "Well, it sounds like we either wait a while or enter the town elsewhere."
[19:09] Alathon: If you choose to wait, the Riders will break through in a bit over an hour.
[19:09] Sheena: "Nasty, but effecive i guess"
[19:10] Sheena: "If we make a move in another part of town, chance are they may pull forces away from the front. Making it easyer on them"
[19:11] Mani: "It could. They didn't exactly ask us to, though."
[19:11] Mani: "Nor did they send another force of their own around, either, so far as I know."
[19:11] Sheena: "They didn't ask us to do anything, its your call main"
[19:11] Sheena: "Tho i would really prefer to start blowing stuff up,"
[19:12] * Sheena hmms
[19:12] Mani: "Let's wait until it gets to the house to house phase and then start cleaning them out."
[19:12] Mani: "It doesn't sound like the Texans are using their heavy hitters yet."
[19:12] Sheena: "From what i seens of there type of planing so far, they seem to just work out the best ways to hit them head on."
[19:13] Alathon: Yuuno: "That's kinda wierd isn't it? Them not.. you know, flanking and stuff."
[19:13] Alathon: Yuuno: "Isn't that what armies usually do?"
[19:13] Alathon: ((er))
[19:13] Alathon: ((That was Ken speaking))
[19:14] * Reis frowns. "Weren't they doing it quite a bit in the battle on the plains? Their opening maneuvers were almost exclusively shooting from the flanks."
[19:14] Sheena: "Not all ways, Given how they heal and each mans general power. I guess there stratiges work with thoes in mind"
[19:14] Alathon: Ken: "Do you think it's some sort of baiting maneuver?"
[19:14] Mani: "Hm. Maybe they decided it'll be easier to sweep through the town if they just have one line."
[19:15] Alathon: Ken: "Or maybe it's another kind of baiting. If they think they've got a steady line where the Texans are willing to fight them in the open."
[19:15] Sheena: "well, bikers are out numbered. By a huge amout."
[19:16] Mani: "Mm. That's possible. The Texans might just break off and hide if they're hit from more than one direction."
[19:16] Mani: "I'd expect so. The usually consider ten to one a fair fight, don't they?"
[19:16] * Reis nods. "That would make sense... Their general mode of operation seems to go along the lines of 'we can outfight them regardless of numeric disadvantage'. A straight fight might appeal from that perspective."
[19:17] Sheena: "Its more then ten to one here, and they are rather sure of them selfs"
[19:17] Sheena: "From an end game point of view it don't look good, the ust could very well just be doing this to knock off some more of the riders numbers"
[19:17] Mani: "If what they're doing seems to be working, let's just record data and not do anything that would mess with their plans."
[19:18] Mani: "Did the Riders seem to be taking many casualties, Sakura? And were the Texans rotating out their forces too or just dying?"
[19:18] Alathon: Ken: "Roger that, I'll make sure Engima gets a perfect view."
[19:18] Alathon: ((rotating))
[19:18] Mani: (So both the Texans and Riders were?)
[19:18] Alathon: Sakura: "They've moving units forward and back.. looks like five, six minute shifts."
[19:19] Sheena: "You know.. where the hell is the marine force we have around here?"
[19:19] Alathon: ((oh, misread))
[19:19] Sheena: "There're not in this to are they?"
[19:19] Mani: "I'm sure it would have been mentioned to us if they were."
[19:19] Alathon: Sakura: "It doesn't look like the texans have much time to do any rotating.. most of their people don't survive more than a couple hits."
Session Close (#crystaltokyo): Tue Jul 10 19:19:39 2007


Session Start (irc.lunarnet.org:#crystaltokyo): Tue Jul 10 19:19:44 2007
[19:19] *** Initial topic: Next week: house to house urban combat. And probably lots of dice rolling, since there will be significantly fewer overturned Texan trucks to blow up with them standing nearby. All this and more on Tuesday, July 10th at 9pm EST / 6pm PST
[19:19] *** #crystaltokyo: Alathon Sheena Ala-bot Reis Stelas Mani
[19:19] *** #crystaltokyo was created on Fri Jan 20 20:56:31 2006.
[19:19] *** Mode change "+q Alathon" for channel #crystaltokyo by ChanServ.
[19:19] *** Mode change "+o Alathon" for channel #crystaltokyo by ChanServ.
[19:19] Mani: "Ah, that would make a huge difference, then."
[19:19] Alathon: ((sigh))
[19:19] Sheena: (?)
[19:19] Reis: (... What was wrong?)
[19:20] Alathon: hit escape ;p
[19:20] Alathon: anyways
[19:20] Alathon: Sakura will report on and off for a bit over an hour.
[19:20] Alathon: Eventually, the defenders break.
[19:21] Alathon: He reports that the Rides look to be forming two 'spikes', pushing into the city heading northwest and southwest.
[19:21] Alathon: Each spike emanating from one of the ends of their 'earthworks'
[19:22] * Sheena looks a bit impaitent
[19:22] Alathon: He reports something else: He thinks he's spotted an angel
[19:22] Mani: (Pretty much leaving the middle or west?)
[19:22] Sheena: (so much for mooks?)
[19:22] * Reis frowns and asks for details.
[19:22] * Mani asks him where.
[19:22] Alathon: He's felt a life-force flittering around rapidly, but hasn't been able to pin it down.
[19:22] Sheena: (thanks main you ruined the mook time)
[19:23] Alathon: Off to the northeast.
[19:23] Mani: (Hey, maybe you want to fill up on mooks, but I'd rather have something more substantial.)
[19:23] Alathon: Sakura: "Taichou, permission to take them out?"
[19:23] Reis: (Slaughtering mooks is fun ;_; )
[19:24] Mani: "If you think you can handle it, Sakura. Let us get in the general area first, though, in case there are complications."
[19:24] Alathon: Sakura: "Roger that."
[19:24] * Mani turns to the others.
[19:24] Mani: "Shall we?"
[19:25] Sheena: (mani dont care becaus she can keep going and ggoing and going.. there as reis and sheena get a couple huge shots and then have to stop)
[19:25] Alathon: Sakura: "I'm several blocks in, heading northwest.. following but not engaging."
[19:25] * Mani heads toward Sakura.
[19:25] Sheena: "Yes, lets go"
[19:25] * Reis nods and floats up into the air, then paces after Mani.
[19:25] * Sheena lifts off a bit and follows after mani
[19:25] Sheena: (heh, mani got wingmen"
[19:26] Mani: "You guys got something against exercise?"
[19:26] Reis: ("The fact that on the ground there's no way we can keep up with you?")
[19:27] Sheena: "Looks cooler like this when you got a badass cloak"
[19:27] Mani: (Since Ken doesn't have speed, I'm not going that fast.)
[19:27] * Mani mutters something about making her feel like a dark lord.
[19:27] Alathon: Ken keeps up.
[19:27] Reis: (Oh, I thought we were leaving him behind :P )
[19:28] Sheena: "Don't forget to make that armor of yours a dark color, hell black if you can do it."
[19:28] Sheena: "The insides of the buildings may be dark"
[19:28] Mani: "Yeah, yeah..."
[19:28] * Mani summons her armor in black.
[19:28] Sheena: (bwahaha we'll make a dark lady out of mani yet)
[19:28] Alathon: Ken: "Uh, right.."
[19:28] * Reis blinks. "Um... Oops, senpai?"
[19:28] Sheena: "yes ries?"
[19:28] Alathon: Anyways.. it'll take you a good ten minutes to make it to the outskirts.
[19:29] Alathon: There's a steady stream of riders heading forward, and a trickle coming back.
[19:29] Reis: "Mine's not..."
[19:29] Alathon: Most of those coming back are in threes, two carrying a third.
[19:29] * Sheena digs in her pack in mid air and slips out her flight mask, when she slips it on it darks a bit under the armor field
[19:29] Alathon: The pile of bodies is ghastly.
[19:29] Alathon: It's a mix of texan uniforms and grey confederacy uniforms.
[19:30] Sheena: "..."
[19:30] Alathon: Ken: "Damn."
[19:30] Mani: "Cute."
[19:30] * Sheena shakes off the sight and looks back at ries
[19:30] Sheena: "hat is it?"
[19:30] * Reis covers her mouth and nose from the smell, paling.
[19:30] * Sheena sighs
[19:30] Reis: (Um, armour's not dark :P )
[19:31] * Sheena slips off her mask and holds it out to reis
[19:31] Sheena: "Here, want this?"
[19:31] Sheena: "It won't block it totaly but should help"
[19:31] * Reis smiles faintly. "Thank you, senpai..."
[19:32] Sheena: "Now come on, get your amror on we are hitting the battle zone"
[19:32] Mani: "Moving on will help, too."
[19:32] Reis: (I presumed we were still waltzing through :P )
[19:32] Sheena: "Says the one who had us wait an hour?"
[19:32] Mani: "As opposed to standing by the corpses."
[19:33] Sheena: (did we stop or something?)
[19:33] Sheena: "ahh'
[19:33] Reis: (Yarrow came up with that on her own :P )
[19:33] Alathon: I'm assuming you're all going to head northwest.
[19:33] Reis: (_I_ certainly didn't)
[19:33] Mani: (Well, chatting seems to imply not moving at a good clip)
[19:33] Reis: (We're flying lazily along as-is ;) )
[19:33] Alathon: As you head northwest, the clatter of gunfire grows somewhat louder.
[19:34] Alathon: roll 1d2
[19:34] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d2 --> [ 1d2=1 ]{1}
[19:34] * Reis nods and triggers Swordbreaker. "Bandritter."
[19:34] * Reis glows slightly, and her clothing shifts to her first fuku. There's not too much material to it, though the 'important' stuff is all covered. Short blue skirt, blue top that covers her chest. Midriff, arms, back are pretty much bare and slightly flushed, and a pair of black stockings cover her legs.
[19:34] Sheena: "Once sakura gets the go ahead im guessing there numbers are going to start thining fast"
[19:34] Reis: Over this, there are enough emerald-green ribbons all across her body, tied dense enough around her, to almost comprise an outfit on TOP of the rest of it.
[19:34] Mani: (Yeah, you don't need those midriff and back organs.)
[19:35] * Sheena stumbles in midair as she turns to catch sight of that
[19:35] Reis: (Hey, armour field ;) )
[19:35] * Reis blushes under the appraisal. "Is... it all right, senpai?"
[19:36] * Sheena just nods dumly before coughting a bit
[19:36] Alathon: Ken: "...ain't it cold in that?"
[19:36] Sheena: "Ahem,, well i think you caught the ct spirt.. or something"
[19:37] * Reis reddens.
[19:37] Sheena: "And as long as it works as good as it looks'
[19:37] Sheena: "err, bah lets get to killing"
[19:37] Alathon: You'll run into some difficulty there.. it looks like the Riders have made some progress.
[19:37] Alathon: where are you all heading?
[19:37] * Sheena looks to mani
[19:37] Mani: (So, have houses we've passed been cleaned out?)
[19:38] Alathon: They look.. well, very cleaned out.
[19:38] * Reis giggles somewhat and nods, relieved once the attention passes from her.
[19:38] Alathon: Very wrecked.
[19:38] Alathon: roll 2d8+4
[19:38] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2d8+4 --> [ 2d8=6 ]{10}
[19:38] Alathon: And Reis catches a bullet.
[19:38] Mani: (Whoa! Impressive, Reis!)
[19:38] Alathon: after Reis gets, hit, you all hear a 'crack' from off to the north-ish.
[19:39] Mani: (Oh, not so impressive catching it that way. ;) )
[19:39] * Sheena checks on reis
[19:39] * Reis 's head jerks to the side, and she staggers somewhat under the impact, but rights herself easily enough and whirls in that direction - she's not even bruised.
[19:39] * Mani looks for the shooter.
[19:39] Sheena: "Oh good, it does work"
[19:39] * Reis seeks out the sniper.
[19:39] Alathon: gimme a spot
[19:39] Sheena: "Now lets go see who said hello"
[19:40] Sheena: Roll 1d20+5
[19:40] Reis: roll 1d20+6
[19:40] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{13}
[19:40] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{20}
[19:40] Mani: roll 1d20+3
[19:40] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{4}
[19:40] Alathon: Nobody is spotted.
[19:40] Mani: ("I found Waldo!")
[19:40] Reis: (Wha? Even my 20 didn't get anything?)
[19:40] Alathon: There are many, many buildings in any direction, which could house the sniper.
[19:40] Mani: (Shoot, duck behind cover...)
[19:40] Mani: (How about Ken's roll?)
[19:40] Alathon: Reis, are you using the Armor, or force field?
[19:40] * Sheena looks around to see any magic
[19:41] Reis: (That was the Armour - including the CT armour)
[19:41] Alathon: Ken is staring at Reis.
[19:41] Alathon: *nod*
[19:41] Mani: "Ken! Do something useful!"
[19:41] Alathon: Ken: "Huh? Wha?"
[19:41] * Reis nods. "Yes... I didn't particularly want to test it like that, but..."
[19:41] Sheena: (uhoh.. i dont think my vido card is suposed to gind like that..)
[19:41] Sheena: (by the way our ct armor is on)
[19:41] Reis: (Oh my)
[19:41] * Mani walks ahead, scanning the area as she goes.
[19:41] Alathon: a minute will pass.
[19:42] Sheena: "Come on all ready lets get to a place and get to work"
[19:42] Alathon: another minute will pass.
[19:42] Mani: (Doesn't that only last for 2 minutes or so before using up the power packs?)
[19:42] * Reis if she doesn't spot anybody, will continue on.
[19:42] Alathon: ((yes))
[19:42] Mani: (Which is why Mani hasn't turned hers on.)
[19:42] Alathon: ((if you want to turn them off before they run out, you're free to))
[19:42] Alathon: ((Anyone using magical armor, charge yourself the EP))
[19:43] Reis: (You kidding? I just got shot in a 'safe' area :P )
[19:43] Sheena: (Not useing magic powered amorr yet)
[19:43] Alathon: Safe? are you kidding me?
[19:43] Sheena: "Where the hells sakura and where the hell is the fighting at"
[19:43] Reis: (Point is, if I'm gonna get cannoned by various bullets, how smart is it to drop the armour?)
[19:43] Reis: (Reis'll switch powerpacks as they empty)
[19:44] Alathon: roll 1d20+3
[19:44] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{7}
[19:44] Alathon: roll 2d8+4
[19:44] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2d8+4 --> [ 2d8=12 ]{16}
[19:44] Alathon: *crack*
[19:44] Reis: (... See?)
[19:44] Alathon: Ken gets shot.
[19:44] Mani: (We're walking across a large town... You'll be going through packs every other block...)
[19:44] * Mani looks for the shooter.
[19:44] Alathon: Ken: "Aaaagh!"
[19:44] Sheena: (did we get a general direction?)
[19:44] Reis: (So? They're there to be used, and if I'm getting sniped every few milliseconds...)
[19:44] Alathon: listen checks
[19:44] Reis: roll 1d20+6
[19:44] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{7}
[19:45] Sheena: "Damn it mani! pick something for us to do all reayd becides walking down the middle of the fucking block)
[19:45] Reis: (Right, I hear nothing)
[19:45] Alathon: you heard a *crack*
[19:45] Sheena: thats a ""
[19:45] Mani: (What's the related stat?)
[19:45] Reis: (Wis)
[19:45] Sheena: Roll 1d20+2
[19:45] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{4}
[19:45] Sheena: (lol)
[19:45] Mani: roll 1d20+4
[19:45] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{10}
[19:45] Reis: (You also hear a 'crack')
[19:46] Alathon: roll 1d20+13 ken's listen ;p
[19:46] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+13 ken's listen ;p --> [ 1d20=10 ]{23}
[19:46] Alathon: Ken: "Aaaah... dammit.. to the north. That way."
[19:46] Alathon: Ken points just a bit west of north.
[19:46] * Reis turns that way and looks for the sniper.
[19:46] Mani: (Does he point to a specific building?)
[19:46] Alathon: Not really, no.
[19:46] Sheena: Roll 1d20+6 good sniper spot?
[19:46] Reis: roll 1d20+6 Spot
[19:46] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+6 good sniper spot? --> [ 1d20=20 ]{26}
[19:46] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+6 Spot --> [ 1d20=7 ]{13}
[19:46] Sheena: (oh dear)
[19:46] Alathon: Sheena spots some movement in a window.
[19:46] Sheena: (i coulda used that later)
[19:47] Alathon: You think it's the sniper..
[19:47] Mani: (Random number generators still don't work that way. ;) )
[19:47] Reis: (We need to develop a random number generator that does :P )
[19:47] Sheena: Roll 1d20+26 Obsiden buster
[19:47] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+26 Obsiden buster --> [ 1d20=16 ]{42}
[19:47] Alathon: It's a good ways north, up a street you haven't quite reached
[19:47] Sheena: (im saying hello any way)
[19:47] Alathon: ...
[19:47] Alathon: how are you aiming that?
[19:47] Alathon: er rather
[19:48] Alathon: describe where you're aiming
[19:48] Alathon: high, low, ?
[19:48] Reis: ('At the general area in which I saw movement'?)
[19:48] Sheena: (well she's flying a bit and aiming at where the show come from, She's aiming high to not cut a path alongg the ground)
[19:49] Alathon: Okay, good
[19:49] Sheena: (sheena does have a bit of common sense to not blow up the riders on the road)
[19:49] Alathon: roll 1d20+3
[19:49] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{5}
[19:49] Alathon: You shear a nice five foot wide hole through the room the sniper was in.
[19:49] Alathon: Ken: "Fuck..."
[19:50] Alathon: Ken: "Gimme a sec, I'll be fine."
[19:50] * Mani checks on Ken.
[19:50] Sheena: "Got em! ... i think"
[19:51] * Reis nods. "I hope so, senpai..."
[19:51] Alathon: Ken's tough, but the shot was well aimed.
[19:51] Alathon: He's still good to go, however.
[19:51] Mani: (He doesn't have regen, does he?)
[19:51] Alathon: Nope.
[19:51] Alathon: Ken: "Let's just.. move over to the side of the street, maybe?"
[19:51] Mani: "Ok. Want me to heal that?"
[19:52] Sheena: "We need to get some cover,"
[19:52] Alathon: Ken: "Go house to house and all that.. and yeah, please."
[19:52] Alathon: okay
[19:52] Alathon: mark a 3rd minute worth of EP cost for magical armor
[19:52] * Mani restores 20 hp to Ken.
[19:52] Sheena: (our armor's don't eat EP right now, they are on a low setting)
[19:52] Sheena: (at lest mine is)
[19:52] Alathon: ((yours is))
[19:52] Sheena: (umm.. no it isnt)
[19:52] Reis: (Bleh, if we keep this up I'm gonna run out of EP just WALTZING to the fight)
[19:53] Mani: (He was saying yours is on a low setting.)
[19:53] Sheena: (oh)
[19:53] Alathon: ((... ;p yeah))
[19:53] * Reis nods. "Walking down the street like this isn't working..."
[19:53] Alathon: Ken: "Thanks Mani, you're a lifesaver."
[19:53] Mani: "Ok, you guys take cover. I'll stroll in and draw fire."
[19:53] Sheena: "We are burning power just to be sitting ducks, any time you want to put us to work mani?"
[19:54] Sheena: "You may wana give sakura the go ahead as well, his waiting on your command'
[19:54] Alathon: Ken: "So.. we rush a bit, but get in the thick of things?"
[19:54] Mani: "Yeah."
[19:54] Mani: (Are we caught up to Sakura yet?)
[19:54] Alathon: You're not.
[19:54] Sheena: (sakura crying becaus your not letting him kill yet)
[19:54] Alathon: In point of fact, you're further behind, as Sakura's target is continuing to circle northwest.
[19:55] Alathon: Sakura: "It looks like this one is doing the same thing I am, scouting."
[19:55] Alathon: Sakura: "it's moving a speed, and jumping almost as well as I can."
[19:55] * Mani passes on their position to him and asks if there are places worth going nearby or a way to run into the circling angel.
[19:56] * Sheena is starting to look rather impaitent and upset
[19:56] Alathon: Sakura: "Uncertain. Nothing really stands out.. the Riders are taking streets across, rahter than down."
[19:56] Alathon: Sakura: "I mean.. they're taking a row of houses, and clearing the ones adjacent, then crossing the next street.. rather than proceding up and down streets."
[19:57] Alathon: four minutes
[19:57] Mani: To Sakura: "Have a suggestion of the best direction to go to hit uncleared houses?"
[19:57] Reis: (If we were standing in cover, I dropped the damn thing)
[19:57] Alathon: okay
[19:57] * Reis frowns. "So, should we take up their tactics? Going down the street certainly isn't working."
[19:57] Alathon: Sakura: "Anywhere north, it looks like the riders are pushing more west than north now.. I don't know what they're doing. Maybe there's some position they're aiming for."
[19:58] Sheena: "We hanvt been going down the street, we where walking around like idoits insted of cleaning out. Most of this area is clean to."
[19:58] * Sheena is grumbling to herself
[19:58] Mani: "Ok, we'll head north, then. Are you going to be staying by us or shadowing the angel?"
[19:59] Alathon: Sakura: "It's either or, at the speed it's moving. WIth your permission, I would like to take it out. It's stopping at irregular periods.. all I need is that first shot."
[19:59] Mani: "Ok, go for it. Let us know if you need us."
[19:59] Alathon: Sakura: "If I don't handle it, I doubt any of the Riders will see it coming, if it goes ont he offense."
[19:59] Alathon: Sakura: "Hai."
[19:59] * Mani ends the connection.
[19:59] * Mani heads north.
[19:59] Alathon: Ken: "So.. we bust our butts north?"
[19:59] Mani: "Let's go."
[20:00] Alathon: Ken follows.
[20:00] Sheena: "Woo"
[20:00] Alathon: Ken does his best to stay up against something.
[20:00] * Sheena flys again as main's wingmen
[20:00] Mani: "Yeah. You guys stick to shadows and cover when you can. I'll be bait."
[20:00] * Reis frowns. "Should we move at full-pace, instead of slowing down?"
[20:00] Alathon: As you head north, you can hear the battle propper moving west.
[20:00] Sheena: "Ken, how is your better half doing?"
[20:01] Alathon: Ken: "Enigma's doing fine.. oh, and Sakura's right about hte Riders."
[20:01] Alathon: Ken: "Looking down on them, it looks like they're closing a circle."
[20:01] Alathon: Ken: "The two spikes, that is."
[20:01] * Sheena looks around for magic near by
[20:01] Mani: "Makes sense."
[20:01] * Reis follows Sheena, and sticks to _cover_.
[20:02] Alathon: Should I assume you all keep going Until you meet opposition?
[20:02] * Mani blithely strolls down the street.
[20:02] Sheena: (witht he way mani is looking? ya)
[20:02] Alathon: You'll find it
[20:02] Reis: (Yep, apparently)
[20:02] Alathon: roll 24#1d20+4
[20:02] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 24#1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{24}, [ 1d20=4 ]{8}, [ 1d20=16 ]{20}, [ 1d20=16 ]{20}, [ 1d20=17 ]{21}, [ 1d20=1 ]{5}, [ 1d20=18 ]{22}, [ 1d20=9 ]{13}, [ 1d20=14 ]{18}, [ 1d20=3 ]{7}, [ 1d20=16 ]{20}, [ 1d20=2 ]{6}, [ 1d20=4 ]{8}, [ 1d20=9 ]{13}, [ 1d20=11 ]{15}, [ 1d20=3 ]{7}, [ 1d20=14 ]{18}, [ 1d20=4 ]{8}, [ 1d20=14 ]{18}, [ 1d20=1 ]{5}, [ 1d20=8 ]{12}, [ 1d20=1 ]{5}, [ 1d20=9 ]{13}, [ 1d20=20 ]{24}
[20:03] * Reis will reactivate her armour on the way.
[20:03] Alathon: when along the way?
[20:03] Sheena: (wooo)
[20:03] Alathon: you don't know how long it'll take to find a fight ;p
[20:03] Sheena: (use your force field, they stay up)
[20:03] Reis: (Even without continued EP influx?)
[20:04] Alathon: ((not if they're magic))
[20:04] Alathon: anyways
[20:04] Alathon: the scene looks a bit like this..
[20:04] Alathon: a narrow-ish street, in what looks to be a residential neighborhood with large (upper class?) two story houses.
[20:05] Alathon: Shots ring out from four houses, two almost directly to the left and right of mani, and two further up the street.
[20:05] Sheena: (That bait idea worked perfectly)
[20:05] Sheena: (i can see juptier chewing us out all ready)
[20:05] Alathon: A few of them are errants
[20:05] Alathon: er, errant
[20:05] Mani: (Aren't you glad those weren't aimed at you guys? ;) )
[20:06] Reis: (OH yeah)

[20:09] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+9 ken --> [ 1d20=16 ]{25}

[20:10] Alathon: ((only 16 armor ;p))
[20:10] Alathon: Anyways
[20:10] Mani: (So, 16 or was I able to activate it?)
[20:10] Alathon: where you all are is at your discretion, but I"m assumign the rest of you have at least some cover behind porches, shrubbery, and the like
[20:10] Alathon: 16
[20:10] * Sheena is just floating near mani
[20:10] Alathon: no way you could really activatre it in that time frame ;p
[20:11] Sheena: "Looks like that hurt"
[20:11] Reis: (Yeah, we're sitting there looking pretty :P )
[20:11] Alathon: anyways
[20:12] Alathon: mani's init?

[20:12] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+9 init --> [ 1d20=11 ]{20}
[20:12] Sheena: "Any way, you wanted the left, right?"
[20:12] Mani: "Left."
[20:13] * Reis has a similar response.
[20:13] Alathon: Fight order: Ken, Mani, Group #3, Reis, Group #4, Group #2, Sheena, Group #1
[20:13] Sheena: "Right, come on reis. Lets leave darth mani to her thing"
[20:13] Mani: "Armor up, everyone!"
[20:13] Alathon: The houses on the left and right are all quite close, 20 feet away or less
[20:14] Alathon: The houses further up with clouds of gunsmoke coming from them are a hundred feet or so
[20:14] * Reis cranks up the armour and the air around her crackles slightly as she swings around to the nearest house on the right, presumably in lockstep with Sheena.

[20:15] Alathon: Ken flips on his armor, and bolts left and a bit back, getting cover behind the house on the left.. and takes shots into the upper story windows ont he right.
[20:15] Alathon: It'll happen on your turn

[20:19] Mani: (Texan: "Run! It's the big bad wolf!!!")
[20:19] Alathon: You kick in the door at the doorknob. Most of the door only goes a few inches, and thre's a loud clatter, but the doorknob and the part you broke off take a good three feet of drywall with them.
[20:20] Alathon: Looking in, you can see the that door was barricaded with a sofa and some assorted furniture.
[20:20] Sheena: (was..)
[20:20] Alathon: There are no hostiles visible on the ground.

[20:59] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{27}
[20:59] Alathon: A dozen bolts of bright purple-black energy launch out from Sheena, angling past the wrecked house on the right.
[20:59] * Sheena caps off two shoots at the magic she was tracking
[20:59] Alathon: ((and that's +26/+21/+16 ;p
[20:59] Sheena: (two vollys that is)
[20:59] Alathon: ((oh right))
[20:59] Reis: ("So you're admitting to being Satan?")
[21:00] * Reis blinks. "Wait a second! Are you calling yourself the eyes of Satan?"
[21:00] Alathon: Nothing is forthcoming from the wrecked house on the left
[21:01] Alathon: Ken is up
[21:01] * Reis shrugs and looks for someone more responsive.
[21:01] Alathon: after the enrgy blasts
[21:01] Alathon: roll 1d20+12
[21:01] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{23}
[21:01] Alathon: roll 1d20+10
[21:01] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{22}
[21:01] Alathon: and he ain't dodging shit, roll damage
[21:01] Sheena: Roll 2#6d8+2 ff
[21:01] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 2#6d8+2 ff --> [ 6d8=34 ]{36}, [ 6d8=33 ]{35}
[21:02] Alathon: The figure you'd eyeballed runs past the side of the house and gets slammed by the bolts, but doesn't go down.
[21:02] Alathon: Ken shoots
[21:02] Alathon: roll 1d20+23-12
[21:02] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+23-12 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{21}

[21:03] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 4d8+2 --> [ 4d8=23 ]{25}
[21:03] Alathon: diagonally across the street, to the only house not under attack.
[21:03] Reis: (Wow, someone DODGED Ken this session. That's almost unnatural)
[21:03] Reis: (Let me fix that!)
[21:04] Alathon: Mani is up
[21:04] Alathon: do you head in?
[21:04] * Mani heads into the room full of targets.
[21:05] Alathon: When you get there, you see half a dozen riflemen facing outwards, a short-ish Evangelical in heavy, white-enamled armor, complete with flaming cross, and a rather traditional looking angel
[21:05] Alathon: androgenous, gleaming armor, flaming two-handed sword.. etc
[21:05] Alathon: You can get to any of em in time to make a regular attack
[21:05] Reis: (Holy shit, even an angel?)
[21:05] Mani: (Regular = 1 set?)
[21:05] Mani: (And have they noticed me yet?)
[21:05] Alathon: yes
[21:06] Alathon: and, the riflemen haven't
[21:06] Alathon: the angel is facing you, as is the revenant
[21:06] * Mani attacks the evangelist.
[21:06] Reis: (Feel free to call us in, Mani. I'm pretty sure I can avoid shooting you...)
[21:06] Sheena: (we had our coms open remembeR?)
[21:06] Alathon: you don't really have time to place phone calls in combat, unless you're willing to spend a round doing it ;p
[21:07] Mani: roll 2#1d20+30 1st AP
[21:07] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#1d20+30 1st AP --> [ 1d20=9 ]{39}, [ 1d20=12 ]{42}

[21:07] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{25}
[21:07] Alathon: roll 1d20+12
[21:07] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{21}
[21:07] Alathon: both connect
[21:07] Reis: (Yeah, but if she doesn't make a comment like 'Yo, Evangelists and whatnot here, gimme fire support' then we won't know to give it)
[21:07] Alathon: ... your poitn being?
[21:07] Mani: roll 2#1d8+8
[21:07] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#1d8+8 --> [ 1d8=7 ]{15}, [ 1d8=3 ]{11}
[21:07] Alathon: the first one is AP, right?
[21:07] Mani: (Yes.)
[21:07] Reis: (Responding to Sheena, not you :P )
[21:07] Alathon: first one penetrates, second one doesn't
[21:08] Mani: (Heavy armor all right.)
[21:08] Mani: roll 3d8
[21:08] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=8 ]{8}
[21:08] Sheena: (dink?)
[21:08] Alathon: He winces as you cut into him, and shouts, "Get the bitch! Bowl her over!"
[21:08] * Mani shouts, "Could use a hand up here!"
[21:08] Alathon: The riflemen turn around and rush Mani
[21:08] Sheena: (they got the window open, do we hear her?)
[21:09] Alathon: Yes
[21:09] Alathon: roll 6#1d20+2
[21:09] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 6#1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{3}, [ 1d20=7 ]{9}, [ 1d20=5 ]{7}, [ 1d20=1 ]{3}, [ 1d20=14 ]{16}, [ 1d20=20 ]{22}
[21:09] Reis: (Waitasec, didn't I just LEVEL group 3?)
[21:09] Alathon: Two of them trip over each other and fall down in a tangle of limbs.
[21:09] Mani: (I'm being attacked by the Keystone Cops...)
[21:09] Alathon: no
[21:09] Alathon: you levelled group 1
[21:09] Reis: (Ah, gotcha)
[21:09] Alathon: unless you're saying you levelled Mani too
[21:09] Reis: (Um... Nope? ^_^ )
[21:10] Alathon: gonna dodge the three that didn't whiff or crit?
[21:10] Mani: (I'll try.)
[21:10] Mani: roll 1d20+6
[21:10] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{10}
[21:10] Mani: roll 1d20+4
[21:10] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{18}
[21:10] Mani: roll 1d20+2
[21:10] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{14}
[21:10] * Sheena look over to ries, "Wana handle that guy while i check this out?"
[21:10] Alathon: You dodge two of them, but two of the others catch onto you
[21:10] Reis: (Question, btw. Given that I'm not using an AoE, can I shoot with some precision through the windows, ie not pwn Mani too?)
[21:10] Alathon: gimme a strength check
[21:11] Mani: roll 1d20+4
[21:11] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{16}
[21:11] Alathon: roll 2#1d20+1
[21:11] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d20+1 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{11}, [ 1d20=12 ]{13}

[21:12] Alathon: Revenant: "Taste the LORD's Vengeance!"
[21:12] Alathon: ((er
[21:12] Alathon: ((Evangelical) ;p
[21:12] Reis: (He'll have to be a revenant to talk soon enough ;) )
[21:12] Alathon: His right hand lights of with a painfully bright crimson glow, and he reaches out to hit you.
[21:12] Sheena: (shove a goon in the way)
[21:13] Mani: (Yeah, can I do that?)
[21:13] Alathon: um.. hm
[21:13] Alathon: while grappled?
[21:13] Reis: (Block Defence?)
[21:13] Mani: (Yeah. I made my str check.)
[21:13] Sheena: (she did beat there str)
[21:13] Mani: (They're holding me, but I'm balanced--apparently better than they are.)
[21:14] Alathon: okay, -4 penalty but you can try to dodge
[21:14] Mani: (Maybe an opposed str check to pull one into the attack?)
[21:14] Alathon: roll 1d20+8+6
[21:14] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+8+6 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{33}
[21:14] Sheena: (figers)
[21:14] Mani: (Well, now would be a dramatic time for a 20.)
[21:14] Mani: roll 1d20
[21:14] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{8}
[21:14] Mani: (Hmph.)
[21:15] Alathon: will save, DC 21
[21:15] Sheena: (will save?)
[21:15] Alathon: for half
[21:15] Alathon: of 120 damage
[21:15] Reis: (Blafarglurghis?!)
[21:15] Mani: (Mind shield bonus?)
[21:15] Alathon: no, it's just a 'resisting pain' thing
[21:15] Mani: roll 1d20+13
[21:15] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{31}
[21:15] Alathon: I actually don't know why Harm Other has a will save rather than fort
[21:16] Alathon: but you make it, and only take 60.. 44 after armor
[21:16] Mani: (Same bonus for both. :) )
[21:16] Alathon: It still feels like having a hot poker shoved into your chest, where he touches you.
[21:16] Mani: (CT armor doesn't work against it?)
[21:16] Alathon: No
[21:16] * Mani growls.
[21:16] Alathon: The angel hauls back and takes a nice hard swing at your head
[21:17] Alathon: or three
[21:17] Mani: "Is that all your lord's got?"
[21:17] Sheena: ( i guess ami made it in mind with cgetting shot often, and not running into some dnd larpers)
[21:17] Alathon: roll 1d20+20-8
[21:17] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+20-8 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{13}
[21:17] Alathon: roll 1d20+15-8
[21:17] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+15-8 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{27}
[21:17] Alathon: hahahahaa
[21:17] Sheena: (wait.. wtf?)
[21:17] Alathon: if that isn't luck, I dunno what is
[21:17] Alathon: the crit never happens
[21:17] Mani: (Don't suppose he loses his weapon on that 1st 1? ;) )
[21:17] Alathon: the botch ends the series of attacks
[21:17] Mani: (Yay! :) )
[21:17] Alathon: roll 1d12+12
[21:17] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d12+12 --> [ 1d12=6 ]{18}
[21:18] Alathon: He decapitates one of the texans you're fighting instead, then stops, pissed.
[21:18] Mani: "My hero!"
[21:18] Reis: ("... Thanks!")
[21:18] Alathon: Angel: "..."
[21:18] Sheena: (he has a thing for girls in plate)
[21:18] Alathon: Evangelical: "Vile whore!"
[21:18] Alathon: Reis is up
[21:18] Reis: ("Hey, his fault!")
[21:18] Reis: (Re my question?)
[21:19] Mani: (Maybe he was talking to the angel.)
[21:19] Reis: <Reis> (Question, btw. Given that I'm not using an AoE, can I shoot with some precision through the windows, ie not pwn Mani too?)
[21:19] Alathon: ....
[21:19] Mani: "Hey, don't be so hard on him..."
[21:19] Alathon: hm
[21:19] Sheena: (you can all ways fly up and shoot in)
[21:20] Alathon: Yeah, you can, as long as you fly over to right in front of it
[21:20] Alathon: otherwise there's no way you'll get an angle
[21:20] Alathon: so you can only make one attack
[21:20] Reis: (No Flurry anyway ;) )
[21:20] Alathon: your accuracy will counter the penalties for the gunsmoke and general cover
[21:20] Alathon: you can reasonably go after the evangelical or the two tripped riflemen
[21:21] Reis: (Well, it's a Spreading.)
[21:21] Alathon: ......
[21:21] Alathon: just, no
[21:21] Reis: (How many can I shoot in one go, sanely?)
[21:21] Alathon: or do it, if you really wanna
[21:21] Alathon: no, you cannot shoot a spreading attack into a melee
[21:21] Alathon: not without expecting to hit most of the people there
[21:22] Reis: (Heh. Right then :P )
[21:22] * Reis nods to Sheena. "Take care of Mani-san, senpai!" She levels Swordbreaker at the poor bastard Sheena was shooting and lets off a silver stream of power.
[21:22] Reis: roll 1d20+26
[21:23] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{31}
[21:23] Sheena: (you know Sheena just gona nuke the room right?)
[21:23] Sheena: (ahh well)
[21:23] Alathon: roll 1d20+12 dodge
[21:23] Reis: (Well... Not as SUCH...)
[21:23] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+12 dodge --> [ 1d20=16 ]{28}
[21:23] Alathon: nope, that's a hit
[21:23] Reis: roll 7d8 AP 1
[21:23] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 7d8 AP 1 --> [ 7d8=25 ]{25}
[21:24] Alathon: It slams into him, but doesn't drop him.
[21:24] Alathon: He runs behind the next building up on the right.
[21:24] Alathon: He doesn't appear to counter-attack
[21:25] Alathon: Three of those on the far, right house shoot at you (reis)
[21:25] Alathon: roll 3#1d20+2
[21:25] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3#1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{17}, [ 1d20=19 ]{21}, [ 1d20=18 ]{20}

[21:26] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{28}
[21:26] Reis: roll 1d20+8
[21:26] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{26}
[21:26] Alathon: yeah, they ain't hit shit
[21:26] Alathon: Sheena is up
[21:27] Sheena: "Ken, Give reis cover"
[21:27] Alathon: Ken: "Right!"
[21:27] * Sheena points dark heart on an angle to the window and decides that building dont really need that wall or roof.
[21:28] Sheena: Roll 1d20+26 Obsiden buster
[21:28] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+26 Obsiden buster --> [ 1d20=7 ]{33}
[21:28] Reis: (Well... I yield all responsibility :P )
[21:29] Sheena: (mani's got plenty of room)
[21:29] Alathon: roll your damage
[21:29] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled your damage --> error: malformed expression
[21:29] Sheena: Roll 7d8+2 a
[21:29] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 7d8+2 a --> [ 7d8=22 ]{24}
[21:29] Sheena: (damn it)
[21:29] Alathon: roll 1d2
[21:29] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d2 --> [ 1d2=2 ]{2}
[21:30] Sheena: (uh oh?)
[21:30] Alathon: You don't hit anyone in the room.. but while you smash the top of the house, you don't get the floor/ceiling directly above them. which promptly collapses.
[21:30] Alathon: roll 3d8
[21:30] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=12 ]{12}
[21:30] Alathon: reflex save for half mani ;p
[21:30] Alathon: or don't ;p
[21:31] Alathon: roll 1d20+6
[21:31] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{13}
[21:31] Mani: (Is there any point?)
[21:31] Alathon: roll 1d20+8
[21:31] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{28}
[21:31] Alathon: honestly, not really
[21:31] Mani: (I'll pass, then.)
[21:31] Alathon: either way, you'll need to burn a turn unburrying yourself ;p
[21:31] Alathon: roll 3#1d20+1
[21:31] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3#1d20+1 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{21}, [ 1d20=1 ]{2}, [ 1d20=6 ]{7}
[21:31] Alathon: on the plus side, you're no longer grappled
[21:31] Sheena: (whats with the goon crits?)
[21:32] Sheena: (angle boys sword has to be lost now to)
[21:32] Sheena: (oh wait he just cut some one up not droped it)
[21:32] Sheena: (damn)
[21:32] Alathon: alright
[21:32] Alathon: end of round, top of the order
[21:32] Alathon: as nothing appears to be forthcoming from the house up on the left
[21:33] Alathon: Ken shouts something really obscene, and flees a bit south for cover that won't get blown up and rain debris on him.
[21:33] Alathon: Mani, you're up.
[21:33] Reis: (You mean the pile of rubble up on the left? :P )
[21:33] Alathon: yeah, that pile of rubble ;p
[21:34] * Mani teleports out to the middle of the street a little higher than the floor she was on.
[21:34] Alathon: You'll succeed.
[21:34] Alathon: When you get outside you'll see the following
[21:34] Alathon: down the street, the house on the left is rubble
[21:34] Alathon: the house immediately across the street has a huge hole in it
[21:34] Alathon: Reis is facing a bit left of that one
[21:34] Alathon: Sheena is facing where the house you were in just got de-roofed
[21:35] * Mani asks conversationally, "Sheena, would you have any idea why a ceiling just collapsed on me?"
[21:35] Alathon: The house you just left now has rubble as a 2nd floor, but you can see the Angel pretty clearly, as well as various texan parts.
[21:35] * Sheena blinks and points at reis
[21:35] * Reis didn't see Sheena's gesture, given that she was facing the other way.
[21:36] Sheena: (not like the massive black beam didnt give her away)
[21:36] Alathon: okay
[21:36] Sheena: "Bad construction around here, all these houses just keep falling down!"
[21:36] Mani: (Mm, guess that's my action, since I can't cast another spell.)
[21:36] * Reis blinks at Mani's voice and turns to look.
[21:37] Alathon: The Evangelical spends the round getting himself out from under a bunch of crap
[21:37] Alathon: The angel on the other hand pretty much throws it off as it leaps up, flaps its wings once, and takes a swing at Sheena
[21:37] Mani: "By the way, incoming."
[21:38] Alathon: roll 1d20+20-6 (power attack 6)
[21:38] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+20-6 (power attack 6) --> [ 1d20=1 ]{15}
[21:38] Alathon: ...
[21:38] Sheena: (poor guy)
[21:38] Reis: (.... This angel ROCKS!)
[21:38] Mani: "Damn! What idiot gave that clumsy oaf a sword?!"
[21:38] Sheena: (ken has absobed all his badass ness)
[21:38] Alathon: He catches his foot on one of the last remaining bits of window-frame, pivots, and hits the ground face-first.
[21:39] Alathon: roll 1d6
[21:39] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d6 --> [ 1d6=6 ]{6}
[21:39] Sheena: "... xxx xx xxxxx?"
[21:39] Mani: (And then the rest of the ceiling falls on him. :) )
[21:39] * Reis blinks. "I thought they were supposed to be scary..."
[21:39] Alathon: angel, muffled: "xx."
[21:39] Alathon: Reis is up
[21:40] Mani: (Teleute: "Was he supposed to do that?")
[21:40] Sheena: "Hey reis.. that house is still standing.'
[21:40] * Reis points at the huge mass of Texans. "Let's try for a little more control this time, Swordbreaker." "Jawohl." Her ribbons twirl and lance out again.
[21:40] Reis: roll 1d20+26
[21:40] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{38}
[21:40] Mani: (Heh. Reis can literally be the dojo destroyer. :) )
[21:41] Reis: (Shooting at every one I can concievably get in one attack :P )
[21:41] Alathon: the remaining three riflemen in the building are not doding shit, and die.
[21:41] Alathon: roll 1d20+14 eva dodge
[21:41] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+14 eva dodge --> [ 1d20=10 ]{24}

[21:42] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 2#4d8 --> [ 4d8=23 ]{23}, [ 4d8=20 ]{20}
[21:42] Alathon: He gets knocked back by the magical energies, but is still standing.
[21:42] * Mani calls down, "You, with the wings! Surrender before you kill yourself!"
[21:42] Sheena: (lol)
[21:42] Sheena: (ya if i was that guy i would pack it in and go home while i was ahead)
[21:43] Reis: (Or at least... not too far behind)
[21:43] Mani: (It's so much fun playing Mani in a battle where she can taunt. :) )
[21:43] Alathon: The Evangelical who hid behind the house on the right peeks out, and tries to hit Reis with a bright beam of searing light.
[21:43] Alathon: roll 1d20+7+6
[21:43] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+7+6 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{18}

[21:46] * Reis simply turns around and watches it sputter and die in the air. "Did you REALLY want to give up your cover, Evangelist-san?"
[21:46] * Reis ignores them.
[21:46] Sheena: (where the heck they at?)
[21:46] Mani: (He doesn't deserve an honorific. :) )
[21:46] Reis: (Group 2, I believe)
[21:46] Alathon: far right house
[21:46] Alathon: The eva doesn't respond

[21:48] Mani: (Force field is applied before armor.)
[21:48] Alathon: ((its two ranks of forcefield right?))
[21:48] Reis: (Doesn't it take damage _per_ attack?)
[21:48] Alathon: .. er, what do you mean?
[21:49] Alathon: it's 10 pts of forcefield, it got hit for 4, 4, 6
[21:49] Reis: (It got hit for 4, deflected it. 4, deflected it. 6, deflected it.)
[21:49] Mani: (Remember Alathon's house rules?)
[21:49] Alathon: I've gone over this, that's.. yes.
[21:49] Alathon: Not how forcefields work on this game
[21:49] Mani: (It sustains the damage it deflects.)
[21:50] Mani: (Which each rank having 10 hp independent from each other layer.)
[21:50] Reis: (Wait, THAT rule I never heard. I know it dies if 10 damage is taken, but I didn't know attacks can be added up for it too.)
[21:50] Reis: (Bleh.)
[21:50] Mani: (It's been stated.)
[21:51] Reis: (Not complaining, but I'd had a different impression)
[21:51] Sheena: (house rule, or else dnd mages would take days to beat up)
[21:52] Mani: (Or force fields would be overpowered, too.)

[22:00] Mani: "You going to finish the eva?"
[22:00] Sheena: (to?)
[22:00] Sheena: "May as well"
[22:00] Mani: (Well, Sheena's the only one near her.)
[22:01] * Mani nods and flies at the angel, keeping out of Ken's direct line of fire.

[22:04] Alathon: From within you can hear something being said.
[22:04] Mani: (He's still up, I take it?)
[22:04] Mani: (The angel, I mean.)
[22:04] Alathon: yes
[22:05] Alathon: it turns and swings at you with all its might

[22:09] Alathon: it's in fair condition, but visibly injured
[22:09] * Reis swings Swordbreaker in two long slashes, unleashing a pair of silver beams at the eva who ducked from his cover. "If you'd like, feel free to die for the lord."

[22:14] Reis: (The SPELL is still active :P )
[22:14] Alathon: Nothing happens.
[22:14] Reis: (... Do I roll something, Al?)

[22:20] Alathon: ((and wtf, so is your IOP one))
[22:20] Alathon: so reis, eat that damage
[22:20] Reis: (... Can we fix that AFTER the session... I was planning based on this...

[22:30] Reis: ("Speaking of which...")

[22:30] Sheena: (funny how that works)
[22:30] Alathon: Ken aims for the angel, and launches three plasma bolts at it.

[22:37] Alathon: His lips move, but nothing comes out. And nothing happens.
[22:37] Alathon: He stands there dumbfounded

[22:38] Mani: (*sings, "You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I cant hear what youre saying.")
[22:40] Reis: "Sie tun mir leid."
[22:41] Alathon: An evangelical runs outs from cover behind the 2nd house up on the right, and stops around forty feet from the party.
[22:41] Alathon: Eva: "Bow down before HIS glory!"
[22:41] Alathon: will save, DC 20
[22:41] Alathon: and yes, mind shield counts for this

[22:42] Sheena: (my bonus is 26...)
[22:42] Alathon: roll it ;p you never know, you might get a 1; p
[22:42] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled it ;p you never know, you might get a 1; p --> error: malformed expression

[22:42] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{43}
[22:42] Mani: "Annoying little mouse."
[22:43] Alathon: all of you feel an unwholesome pressure against your minds, but resist the compulsion.
[22:43] Alathon: Sheena is up
[22:43] * Sheena just looks at him and luaghts hard as she takes off her glasses
[22:43] Reis: "Was that it for his glory? Kind of... limp."
[22:43] Alathon: It's hard to tell, but his body language looks kinda.. surprised.
[22:44] Sheena: (what i time to fail on witty lines)
[22:45] Mani: (Ok, now I've seen what Mani did to the angel. :D )
[22:45] Reis: (Heh)
[22:45] Sheena: Roll 1d20+26 Obsiden buster
[22:45] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+26 Obsiden buster --> [ 1d20=7 ]{33}

[22:46] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{20}
[22:46] Sheena: (lol)
[22:46] Alathon: against all odds, he manages to avoid the first one.. he so doesn't avoid the second one. roll damage
[22:47] Sheena: roll 7d8+2 ap
[22:47] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 7d8+2 ap --> [ 7d8=32 ]{34}
[22:47] Alathon: It slams him, hard, and it shows, though he's still good to go.
[22:47] Alathon: Ken: "Shit! Guys, help!"
[22:47] * Reis turns to look.
[22:47] * Mani looks at Ken.
[22:48] Sheena: (nnoooo not ken!)
[22:48] Mani: (17 angels surround him.)
[22:48] Alathon: He's being assailed by another angel, and this missing fourth evangelist.

[22:48] Mani: (Evangelist wounded?)
[22:49] Alathon: it doesn't look pristine, but, seems to be moving well enough
[22:49] Sheena: (i didnt see there magic?)
[22:49] Alathon: roll 1d20+8
[22:49] Alathon: roll 1d20+6
[22:49] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{21}
[22:49] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{13}
[22:49] Alathon: there were a number of spot checks,a nd no, nobody saw them
[22:49] Sheena: ( i rolled one..)
[22:50] Alathon: that was for the one that Reis just silenced
[22:50] Alathon: when it went and hid behind the house on the right
[22:50] Alathon: roll 2#1d12+15 AP+1
[22:50] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d12+15 AP+1 --> [ 1d12=5 ]{20}, [ 1d12=8 ]{23}
[22:51] Alathon: The angel's third swing catches in the shrubbery, and it loses its sword, but not before landing two hard hits on Ken.
[22:51] Alathon: ... and don't ask me how a shrubbery stops an AP sword
[22:51] Alathon: it just does
[22:51] Alathon: it's just really dense, like a bush
[22:52] Sheena: (like you said, its a good shurbbery)
[22:52] Mani: (Why do you think they're wanted so badly?)
[22:53] Reis: (The shrubbery is friggin badass)
[22:53] Alathon: roll 1d20+12+6
[22:53] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+12+6 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{38}
[22:53] Alathon: ..
[22:54] Reis: (... Fug. If you've gotta go out...)
[22:54] Alathon: The Evangelical reaches out with a dully glowing hand, and slaps Ken -- right in the face
[22:54] Alathon: roll 8d8+16
[22:54] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 8d8+16 --> [ 8d8=27 ]{43}
[22:54] Alathon: He shrieks in pain, and stumbles against hte deck near him, but is still standing.
[22:54] Alathon: End of round, top of the order
[22:54] Reis: "Mani-san! Please take the angel!"
[22:54] Alathon: just to be clear, here's how things are
[22:55] Alathon: there's an evangelical inf ront of the party in the middle of the street, another taking cover by the 2nd house on the right (silenced)
[22:55] Alathon: Ken, the angel,a nd the 3rd eva are a bit behind the party on the left, maybe 30 ft away
[22:55] Alathon: there are some riflemen further down the street
[22:55] Alathon: and, Ken is up
[22:56] Sheena: "Run ken!"
[22:56] Reis: (Seriously... someone's gotta own those riflemen. One of these days I'll get hit :P )
[22:56] Alathon: and Ken runs for his life
[22:56] Sheena: (we like you now dont die!)
[22:56] Mani: (And Ken ran and ran, right out of the town. Some say he's still running to this very day.)
[22:56] Alathon: He ducks past the angel, who's missing a sword, and runs towards the party
[22:57] Alathon: Mani is up
[22:57] Mani: (How badly hurt does Ken look?)
[22:57] Alathon: Very, very badly hurt
[22:57] Alathon: his face is a horrible, charred mess
[22:57] Alathon: it's like god smote his ass in the face with holy power ;p
[22:58] Alathon: and he's got two big gashes in his torso.
[22:58] Mani: (Hm. Bet he can outrun someone in heavy armor.)
[22:58] Alathon: that's a fair bet ;p
[22:58] Mani: (Can I run toward him and heal him as he passes by?)
[22:58] Alathon: can he outrun their spells? who knows
[22:59] Alathon: as he passes by? no.. but you could reasonably enough stop him and heal him.
[22:59] Alathon: he's in bad enough shape that he's sure as shit not gonna push you over, and you're stronger in the first place
[22:59] Mani: (Mm, but that would mean that the eva could probably catch up to him then, yes?)
[23:00] Alathon: from what you've seen, no
[23:01] Alathon: it is wearing heavy plate armor
[23:01] Mani: (Ok, I'll do that, then. +30 hp, as he's already gotten 20 today.)
[23:01] Alathon: *nod*
[23:01] Alathon: His face clears up a bit, and he momentarily stops bellowing in pain.
[23:01] Alathon: Reis is up
[23:01] * Reis braces herself.
[23:01] Reis: (Holding action ^_^ )
[23:02] Sheena: (say something)
[23:02] Alathon: sorry
[23:03] Alathon: The silenced one runs behind the building on the right
[23:03] Alathon: the eva in the street shouts something out, and gestures at Reis
[23:03] Alathon: fort save, DC 18
[23:03] Reis: roll 1d20+3
[23:03] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{9}
[23:03] Reis: (DR)
[23:03] Reis: roll 1d20+3
[23:03] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{20}
[23:04] Mani: (You only have a +3? Ewwww.)
[23:04] Sheena: (how far are mani and ken from that angle and eve?)
[23:04] Reis: (Yes. Ew.)
[23:04] Mani: (I'm going to have to go to bed soon.)
[23:04] Alathon: they're like 25-30ish feet from them
[23:04] Alathon: *nod*
[23:05] Reis: (Gah. 4 hours to waking up? I probably should too, very very soon at the least)
[23:05] Alathon: sheena is up
[23:06] * Sheena floats closer to reis while loading a defernt clip
[23:06] Sheena: "Looks like a chance to test out that idea of yours"
[23:06] Sheena: "Think you can keep up?
[23:06] * Reis nods. "Yes, senpai. I hope so."
[23:08] * Sheena aims with dark heartnear reis
[23:08] Sheena: "Full power?"
[23:08] Reis: "With this effort, why hold back?"
[23:08] Sheena: (combo attack,at the angle and eve.)
[23:08] Sheena: "Right,"
[23:08] Alathon: which spec attacks?
[23:08] Sheena: "Load two attack!"
[23:08] Reis: (Furieriss)
[23:09] * Sheena starts channeling power as the shells click off
[23:09] Sheena: (obsiden bustre)
[23:09] Mani: (I'll just picture it as a Team-up attack from Rival Schools for my own amusement. :) )
[23:09] Alathon: okay
[23:09] Alathon: which shells?
[23:09] Sheena: (damage)
[23:10] Alathon: so, (7+9)*2 = 32d8, two attacks
[23:10] Sheena: (sheena putting out 9d8 spreading and ap)
[23:10] Alathon: who has hte lower to-hit?
[23:10] * Reis shifts slightly, Swordbreaker extending out into the glowing serrated form.
[23:10] Reis: (+26)
[23:10] Sheena: (we both got +26)
[23:10] Alathon: okay
[23:10] Alathon: roll 1d2
[23:10] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d2 --> [ 1d2=2 ]{2}
[23:10] Alathon: Sheena, roll it
[23:10] Sheena: Roll 1d20+26
[23:10] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{27}
[23:10] Sheena: (DR)
[23:10] Reis: (...)
[23:10] Alathon: yeah, good call on that
[23:10] Alathon: too bad, dramatically blowing yourselves up woulda been great
[23:10] Sheena: (just a blood mist left in the air...)
[23:11] Reis: (You might've liked it, but...)
[23:11] Sheena: Roll 1d20+26
[23:11] Alathon: .. and you're damned lucky sheena got tha roll. since reis spent her DR ;p
[23:11] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{37}
[23:11] Alathon: second?
[23:11] Mani: (Yeah. I was thinking about that factor when you were deciding who rolled the attack. :) )
[23:11] Reis: (We get the second shot too? Woot!)
[23:11] Sheena: Roll 1d20+21
[23:11] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{29}
[23:11] Alathon: roll 1d20+16

[23:11] Alathon: roll 1d20+13
[23:11] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{19}
[23:12] Reis: (Nyahahah! He evades nothing)
[23:12] Alathon: When Reis and Sheena's attack discharge, instead of streaking out at their enemies, they bind together for a moment, in an incandescent silver-purple-black sphere of energy.
[23:12] Sheena: (this is what you get for fucking with ken)
[23:12] * Reis spares her left hand to wave him bye-bye.
[23:12] Mani: (Please. That sounds like punsihment enough. :) )
[23:12] Alathon: After one silent moment, the surface of the ball of magical power ripples, then shatters, spewing forth twin columns of silver-wreathed blackness.
[23:13] Sheena: (well this ken any way.. not that old one)
[23:13] Sheena: (i think we just blew our effects buget... all following shots are little blue dots)
[23:13] Alathon: The Evangelist manages to evade one.. the Angel evades neither.
[23:13] Alathon: roll two 32d8 damages
[23:13] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled two 32d8 damages --> error: malformed expression

[23:14] Sheena: Roll 32d8
[23:14] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 32d8 --> [ 32d8=149 ]{149}
[23:14] Mani: (You know what would have been hillarious? Reflection. :D )
[23:14] Alathon: The angel is annihilated utterly; only a soft sparkle of silver motes of light marks its passing.
[23:14] Sheena: (shhhh)
[23:15] Alathon: The eva is smacked back, through a house which is promptly destroyed, and into a charred mess of ash and rubble.
[23:16] * Sheena looks a bit pale even as dark heart shives brightly from the destruction
[23:16] Alathon: he stands up, shakily.. barely able to move a muscle, and tries piteously to heal itself.
[23:16] Alathon: Dark Heart: "xxxxxxx!"
[23:16] Mani: ("Their power level! It's off the scale!"?)
[23:16] Alathon: Dark Heart: "xxxxxxxxxxxx!"
[23:16] * Reis blinks. "Wow..."
[23:16] Reis: (Wonder what he's saying...)
[23:16] Alathon: roll 4d8+16
[23:16] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 4d8+16 --> [ 4d8=19 ]{35}
[23:17] Alathon: a bit of vitality returns to him, but that's it.
[23:17] Reis: (He even _succeeds_ piteously at healing himself.)
[23:17] Alathon: Ken shivers, before getting a hold of himself, and unloading on the evangelical behind the party.
[23:17] Alathon: roll 1d20+23
[23:17] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{30}

[23:17] Alathon: roll 1d20+13
[23:17] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{21}
[23:17] Sheena: "Dear serenity... Reis, We can't do that again with out some adjustments.."
[23:17] Alathon: roll 1d20+12
[23:17] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{29}

[23:18] Mani: ("Yeah... that damage was pitiful!")
[23:18] Alathon: Dropping it.
[23:18] Alathon: Yuuno, from somewhere: "daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!"
[23:18] * Reis shakes her head. "That was... Totally beyond what we predicted..."
[23:18] Alathon: Mani is up.
[23:19] Alathon: there's two enemies left, one eva hiding behind the building on the right, and the eva who attacked ken, nearby behind and to the left
[23:19] * Mani goes for the one who just got blasted.
[23:19] Mani: (1 set of attacks?)
[23:19] Alathon: yes
[23:19] Mani: roll 2#1d20+30
[23:19] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{44}, [ 1d20=15 ]{45}

[23:20] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#1d8+8 1stAP --> [ 1d8=2 ]{10}, [ 1d8=2 ]{10}

[23:20] Mani: roll 3d8
[23:20] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=8 ]{8}
[23:20] Sheena: "Reis.. that should ahve failed and triggered a Total protonic reversal.. Something saved our asses back there"
[23:20] Alathon: Reis is up
[23:21] Alathon: ((heh, yuuno's gonna have to give poor sheena a tongue-lanshing for her recklessness))
[23:21] Sheena: (as dark heart is loving it.. And people wonder why sheena's so screwed up)
[23:21] Mani: (Let's finish this quickly.)
[23:21] Alathon: ((we will))
[23:22] * Reis shivers. "Yeah... Something went wrong, antiproton-generation started..."
[23:22] Reis: (Is my silence field still clinging to the first guy?)
[23:22] Mani: (Reis... Kill something.)
[23:22] Sheena: (crap that was taped to.. )
[23:22] Alathon: You don't know
[23:22] Alathon: but you know they're stationary
[23:22] Reis: (And, he's not in the area of it)
[23:22] Alathon: and yeah just kill something, you've got one visible enemy that's almost down, drop it pls ;p

[23:23] Alathon: actually nm
[23:23] Alathon: that's enough by 1 hp
[23:24] Reis: (Heh)
[23:24] * Sheena loses a bit of her pankic attack as reis sploads that last guy nicely, Dark Heart is still shineing bright
[23:24] Alathon: A single lance of metallic silver energy reaches out from Swordbreaker and impales the Evangelical.
[23:24] Alathon: He stands there for a moment, as the beam fades, then falls over face first.
[23:25] Alathon: a few moments later, Sakura pops into existance twenty feet from the party.
[23:25] Alathon: Sakura: "Holy shit.. Ken, you okay?"
[23:25] Alathon: ((if you have any lines to sneak in, now's the time))
[23:25] * Reis turns back to Sheena. "But... There was a BIT of an antimatter reaction in there - just, not enough to make the detonation significant..."
[23:25] Alathon: Ken: "I... will be, just go fetch the other one."
[23:26] Alathon: Sakura: "The one that was running north? Too late."
[23:26] Alathon: Sakura grins.
[23:26] Alathon: Sakura's uniform has a couple rather obvious tears in it, showing flesh, but he seems to be hale and hardy.
[23:26] Sheena: "We can't do that often, lets go check on ken. He realy kicked ass today"
[23:26] Alathon: Sakura looks up at Reis and Sheena.
[23:26] Alathon: Sakura: "So.. how's things?"
[23:26] Mani: (I'm done.)
[23:27] Alathon: ((nod))
[23:27] *** Mani is now known as Yarrow.
[23:27] Reis: (Night Yarr)
[23:27] Alathon: ((I'm just waiting for anyone to say whatever they gotta before ending the session))
[23:27] Sheena: "We all most exploaded every atom in our bodies, but hey its all good"
[23:27] Yarrow: (No one's go
[23:27] Yarrow: (No one's gotta say nothing. Go to bed.)
[23:27] Sheena: (heh, oops? we can end here)
[23:27] Alathon: heh
[23:27] Alathon: Sakura: "Alright."
[23:27] * Reis nods and descends a bit. "Yeah... I hope he's okay."
[23:27] Alathon: End here
[23:28] *** Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf.
[23:28] Alathon: c
[23:28] Sheena: Combo attack is promply rated as over powered and we can never use it again
[23:28] Alathon: haha
[23:28] *** Sheena is now known as DCG.
[23:28] Alathon: just remmber to assign yourselves the ep cost for doing it
[23:28] Alathon: it isn't free
[23:28] Yarrow: Nah, he's just smirking that no one ever bothered to use it before.
[23:28] DCG: right
[23:28] Pale_Wolf: Yep, I did.
[23:28] Pale_Wolf: Well, nobody but me bothered to get it before ;)
[23:28] Alathon: and sorry I didn't close thigns down earlier yarrow, I (once again) underestimated how long a single fight would take
[23:29] Yarrow: Anyway, I'm going to bed. Good night.
[23:29] Pale_Wolf: Night Yarrs.
[23:30] Pale_Wolf: Xp?
[23:30] Alathon: um.. one sec
[23:30] Alathon: 3066
[23:31] Alathon: 3066 exp that is
[23:31] DCG: was a fun session.
[23:31] Alathon: good :) I thought so too

[Alathon]

Session 46

[18:03] Alathon: anyways
[18:03] Alathon: we all here I guess?
[18:04] DCG: looks that way
[18:04] Pale_Wolf: I'm in.
[18:04] DCG: We going to look for another player some time? or leave it be
[18:04] *** DCG is now known as Sheena.
[18:05] Yarrow: Well, it involves the two characters twirling, and facing each other before a heart silhouettes them and streaks toward the enemy before splitting into multiple hearts.
[18:05] Yarrow: I'm sure you'd all love it since I both my characters were female.
[18:05] Alathon: heh
[18:05] *** Pale_Wolf is now known as Reis.
[18:05] Alathon: HLS is always good... as long as it's not like in the saturday night live skit
[18:05] Yarrow: But probably not as much as the kiss power-ups.
[18:06] Yarrow: Bleh.
[18:07] Alathon: hopefully ataru will stop in
[18:08] *** Ala-bot has joined #crystaltokyo.
[18:08] Alathon: roll 1d20 test
[18:08] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20 test --> [ 1d20=13 ]{13}
[18:08] Alathon: ooh, lucky
[18:08] Sheena: ...
[18:08] Sheena: Can't be any worse then wolfs bot last week.
[18:08] Yarrow: Fun.
[18:08] Sheena: (yes i did just say that)
[18:09] Reis: ... You want to die?
[18:09] Alathon: the real question is, do you wanna live forever?
[18:10] Alathon: anyways
[18:10] Alathon: lets get started
[18:10] Reis: It'd be nice...
[18:10] Alathon: we left off last week with the party having just finished up with a Texan ambush
[18:10] *** Yarrow is now known as Mani.
[18:10] Alathon: four squads of seven each, plus a couple summoned beings that sure looked like angels.
[18:11] Mani: How many evas were there total?
[18:11] Alathon: Ken is in a bad way, he got caught out by the last of them and hit in the face with a nice crit on an inflict serious
[18:11] Sheena: (yes, i do want to live forever, kthx.)
[18:11] Alathon: four
[18:11] Mani: (Cause wound spells do double damage on crits?)
[18:12] Alathon: I know rays can
[18:12] Alathon: I assumed that anything that required a to-hit could result in a crit
[18:12] Alathon: whereas fireballs, lightning bolts, horrid wiltings, etc.. can't
[18:13] Sheena: ... you better keep that last one to yourself mister
[18:13] Sheena: where only level 16... ahh crap
[18:13] Alathon: ((yup, level 16))
[18:13] Mani: (Hm. Just seems strange because the damage isn't really from the impact.)
[18:13] Alathon: ((true))
[18:14] Alathon: ((I just can't think of a good reason why a damage spell that requires a to-hit, Shouldn't be able to do a crit))
[18:14] Alathon: especially in BESM d20 where you have spec attacks that anyone can get, which can crit, dealing similar damage
[18:15] Mani: (Well, my thought is just that you have to touch the person for the spell to go off. The spell isn't actually hitting them.)
[18:15] Alathon: in that case, a crit would reflect touching them somewhere particularly vulnerable.. face, neck, groin, etc
[18:15] Alathon: somewhere where even flesh damage would immediately be worse or more painful
[18:16] Mani: (Kind of seems that the to hit bonus for touch spells makes up for crit chance.)
[18:16] Alathon: though that raises the question, 'can you called shot an inflict wounds to the face?'
[18:16] Alathon: I'd always figured it was meant to make them useable at all by classes that get mediocre to-hits
[18:16] Alathon: and which are even further disadvatnaged in BESM d20 by having combat skills mostly out of class
[18:17] Alathon: anyways.. we can touch on this after game if it's worrying you
[18:17] Mani: Oh, I wouldn't say it worries me--unless you apply it to something like harm. :)
[18:18] Alathon: ((take 300 damage))
[18:18] Mani: (Yeah.)
[18:18] Alathon: Ken's in a bad way, Sakura looks like he's been cut up a bit but is good to go, and Reis and Sheena have both noted that they've expended a goodly chunk of their magical reserves.
[18:19] Alathon: There's a huge fringing double-trench where a combination attack oneshotted a summoned angel and mostly killed an eva.. and completely killed a couple houses.
[18:19] Alathon: It looks like a titan took a pair of binoculars and rammed 'em into the grown sideways.
[18:19] Alathon: ((.. the kind that are close togher, not the kind that are seperated))
[18:20] Alathon: anyways
[18:20] Mani: (Any enemy still around?)
[18:20] Alathon: there's gunfire off in the distance, but nobody seems to be shooting you.
[18:20] Alathon: Kuonji: "Is there anyone else around? I took out three with rifles after the armored one."
[18:20] Alathon: Ken groans.
[18:21] Alathon: Ken: "I hope not."
[18:21] * Mani keeps an eye open for more enemies as she walks over to Sheena and Reis.
[18:21] * Reis works to catch her breath.
[18:21] Mani: "We're really going to have to talk about this irrational hatred of houses of yours, Reis."
[18:21] * Sheena is still calming down after crossing the streams
[18:21] * Reis winces. "Um... sorry?"
[18:22] * Mani smiles slightly.
[18:22] Mani: "I think we can let it slide for now."
[18:22] Mani: "Anyway, I think we should head back to someplace safe and rest up."
[18:22] Sheena: "There's still "some" standing.."
[18:22] Alathon: Kuonji looks a little disappointed.
[18:22] Mani: "Yes, allow me to compliment you two on your restraint in not levelling the entire town."
[18:22] * Reis nods. "Yes... I certainly don't have much more in me... I should probably borrow a blaster from Ken-san."
[18:23] Alathon: Kuonji: "Sure? We could camp out in one of these for a while, if it's a breather we need."
[18:23] Alathon: Kuonji motions at one of the nearby, less damaged, houses.
[18:23] * Mani shakes her head.
[18:23] Sheena: "Drained myself, would be a bad idea to rush into another fight like that."
[18:23] Mani: "Ken's pretty badly hurt and I can't heal him more today."
[18:24] Sheena: "The next guy with a sword might not be such a clutz"
[18:24] Mani: "And we wouldn't be able to let our guard down as much here as back behind the AFS lines."
[18:25] * Reis nods. "I can put up a _little_ support with illusions, but not enough."
[18:25] * Mani nods.
[18:25] Mani: "So, unless anyone has a strong objection, let's head back now."
[18:25] Alathon: Ken stays quiet, but leans against a nearby pillar.
[18:25] Alathon: ((er, beam))
[18:26] Alathon: Kuonji: "Fair 'nuff."
[18:26] Alathon: Kuonji: "Shall I find us a route?"
[18:26] Mani: "Sakura, if you wouldn't mind scouting, I'll draw fire while everyone else stays to what cover they can."
[18:27] * Sheena checks out something on dark heart.
[18:27] Alathon: Kuonji: "Hai, Taichou."
[18:27] Alathon: Kuonji vanishes.
[18:27] * Reis frowns. "Should I give you the remainder of the party, Mani-san?"
[18:27] Sheena: "My armor's still strong, i take some normal shots still"
[18:27] Mani: "What do you mean, Reis?"
[18:28] * Reis flicks her fingers, and is flanked by herself, a Sheena, and a Ken.
[18:28] Mani: "Mm, if you want, but I wouldn't tire yourself any further over it."
[18:28] * Mani frowns as she goes over that wording in her head.
[18:28] Mani: "You can parade about and attract attention if you want, Sheena."
[18:29] * Reis shakes her head. "I can keep doing this for the whole day, I think."
[18:29] Sheena: "Your one to talk Darth-chan"
[18:29] Sheena: "Just need to make your blade red and we're good to go"
[18:30] Mani: "Can't change the color of the swords without making new ones."
[18:30] Mani: "So, let's go as is."
[18:30] * Mani looks around.
[18:30] Mani: "Once Sakura gets back."
[18:30] Alathon: You see.. houses. Oh, and wrecked houses.
[18:30] Alathon: Ken: "All-right.. I'm going to find a couch somewhere, if you don't mind."
[18:30] Sheena: (did they are lest trim the laws before they left?)
[18:30] Mani: (My God! Get away from the houses! She *hates* these houses!")
[18:31] Alathon: Ken heads off to one of the nearby houses that isn't trashed (right side of the road).
[18:31] * Mani goes with him to make sure nothing's lurking in it.
[18:32] Alathon: You'll find nothing except the evidence of a hasty departure.
[18:32] Sheena: "Come on reis, lets keep watch by them"
[18:32] Alathon: Here and there, things just aren't right..cabinets are left open, with half their contents piled on the floor beside them.
[18:32] * Sheena heads over after mani
[18:32] Alathon: Anyways.. you'll find the nearby area seems to be clear of hostiles.. at least, you don't find any, and none attack you.
[18:33] * Reis nods and follows.
[18:33] Alathon: Reis can keep her illusions up as long as she wants, and is willing to pay attention to them and concentrate on keeping them active.
[18:33] Alathon: Otherwise they'll be still-lifes.
[18:34] Mani: (5 minutes later, a pissed off Sakura comes in, more than a little annoyed to find he'd been talking to illusions for the past several minutes.)
[18:34] Mani: (Well, if he couldn't see life energy. :) )
[18:34] * Mani waits for Sakura to get back in touch.
[18:35] * Reis will focus on the illusions and resting if nothing distracts her.
[18:35] Mani: "Ken, if you go to sleep or get knocked out, does Enigma disappear?"
[18:35] Alathon: ((haha))
[18:36] Alathon: "Yes."
[18:36] * Mani nods.
[18:36] Alathon: Ken: "And yeah, I'm not taking a nap or anything.. I just want off my feet for a few."
[18:36] Alathon: "Figured I'd try to finda mirror too, and see if I can't bandage some of this."
[18:36] Alathon: Ken motions at his face, where there is still some obvious blistering.
[18:36] * Sheena is looking at dark heart and a odd looking data feed
[18:37] * Sheena hmms
[18:37] * Reis nods. "Probably a good idea... Do you have a spare blaster I could borrow, Ken-san? I'd rather not get in a fight like this, but if I do..."
[18:37] * Reis blinks and looks over. "Is something up, senpai?"
[18:37] Alathon: Kuonji, via comm: "Riders are pushing north in your direction, maybe half an hour at the crawl they're moving at."
[18:37] Alathon: Kuonji: "Once they're there, you should have a clear corridor to return."
[18:37] * Sheena blinks and looks up
[18:38] Alathon: Ken: "Um, sure. Actually, you can use my beam rifle if you'd like.. I know you don't rate one, but, it's not like it'd do any harm."
[18:38] Sheena: "Just going over the flow readings from that stunt we pulled."
[18:38] Alathon: Ken fishes around, and produces a standard CT beam rifle.
[18:38] Sheena: "I don't belive half of what im see'ing and dark heart wont go into it"
[18:38] * Reis blinks and nods, then takes it. "Um, thank you."
[18:39] * Mani sends to Sakura: "May as well wait, then, I guess. Coming back?"
[18:39] Alathon: Ken grins rakishly.
[18:39] Alathon: Ken then winces.
[18:39] Sheena: "Meh,"
[18:39] Alathon: Ken: "No problemo."
[18:39] Mani: "Don't do that until you're healed."
[18:39] Alathon: Ken: "Yeah, I figured that out."
[18:39] * Reis returns her attention to Sheena. "Yes... That went a little less well than we expected..." She takes a look to see what Sheens is seeing.
[18:39] * Sheena cuts the feed and gets back to keeping an eye out for magical engerys
[18:39] Reis: (Or not)
[18:39] Alathon: Ken produces his own modified plasma rifle, and starts swapping out power packs.
[18:39] Sheena: (or heh0
[18:40] * Mani swaps out armor power cells.
[18:40] Mani: (Deactivated once the fight ended, btw.)
[18:40] Alathon: ((nod))
[18:40] * Sheena notices reis try and peak
[18:40] * Mani looks around for a mirror.
[18:40] Alathon: ((there's a fair number of spent power cells between all of you though, just remember))
[18:40] Reis: (Indeed)
[18:40] Alathon: ((albeit not that big a chunk of what you have, since Ken is the only one who really goes through 'em))
[18:40] Sheena: "Ill get ya a print out after all this is over reis,"
[18:41] * Reis nods. "Thank you, senpai..."
[18:41] Mani: (I think I've used up one. :) )
[18:41] Mani: (Maybe.)
[18:41] Alathon: Yuuno pokes his head out from under a dresser.
[18:41] Alathon: Yuuno: "So.. Sheena, Reis.. you practiced that before.. right?"
[18:41] Sheena: (ninja ferrets, gota love up)
[18:41] Sheena: "umm..."
[18:41] Sheena: *em
[18:42] Alathon: Yuuno, accusingly: "RIGHT?"
[18:42] * Mani provides Ken a makeshift crystalline mirror if she doesn't find a real one.
[18:42] * Reis looks at the floor. "It was... very carefully checked... in theory..."
[18:42] * Sheena goes back to looking out the window
[18:42] Alathon: Yuuno: ".....right."
[18:42] Sheena: "ya.. a hole hour before the attack started"
[18:42] Alathon: Yuuno: "cuz it sure looked to me like it was about a nanosecond and a half from going really, really bad."
[18:43] * Reis frowns and nods. "Yes... something seems to have erred in it. We'll have to go over it and find out just what it was..."
[18:43] * Mani frowns.
[18:43] Alathon: Yuuno: "You'd... just, do that. Okay?"
[18:43] Alathon: He sounds almost pleading.
[18:43] Sheena: "Thats one way to put it, lets just say the ust problems may have been solved for what was left of navada.."
[18:44] Alathon: Yuuno: "Exxagerate much?"
[18:44] Sheena: (mass=Engery? Sure NP! *boom*)
[18:44] Sheena: "I hope so"
[18:44] Alathon: Yuuno: "Dont' forget, the power sources would be gone long before you could put out enough magical energy to project a shockwave that far."
[18:44] Alathon: Yuuno: "And by powersources, I mean you and Reis, shenna!"
[18:45] * Reis shakes her head. "Well... We started creating antiprotons... ... You know antimatter, right sensei?"
[18:45] * Reis nods.
[18:45] Alathon: ((you can describe it however you like, but don't expect a single d8 for it.. this isn't Exalted ;p ))
[18:45] Sheena: (right right)
[18:45] Reis: (Heh, natch)
[18:46] Reis: ("... In theory. As it happens, we only got one or two antiprotons." :P )
[18:46] Sheena: (It would have been BAD no mater the 'how")
[18:46] Alathon: Yuuno: "Anyways.. just, practice, okay?"
[18:46] Alathon: Yuuno: "With dinky stuff. Real dinky stuff."
[18:47] Sheena: "Well... we could go fishing yuuno. Go for some large tuna again?"
[18:47] Alathon: anyways, does Mani head out to the street with illusion-companions?
[18:47] Alathon: Yuuno, grumpily: "Sure, why not."
[18:47] * Reis nods fervently.
[18:48] Mani: (Hm, half an hour until the Rider line reaches us if we wait?)
[18:48] Alathon: well, more like 20 at this point
[18:49] Mani: (And has Sakura returned or is he out having fun lurking about still?)
[18:49] * Sheena notices Dark Heart's calmed down from all the fighting and is only has a dull glow to it now.
[18:50] Alathon: ((he's out and about))
[18:50] Sheena: (sakura is has his ninja time, he needs it now and then)
[18:50] Alathon: anyways
[18:50] Mani: "So, people feeling up to heading back?"
[18:50] Alathon: yeah, you can wait inside too, that certainlyw orks ;p
[18:50] Alathon: maybe even a little less dangerous ;p
[18:51] * Reis nods. "I'm ready whenever everyone else is, Mani-san."
[18:52] Mani: (I see it so clearly. We're going to waste an hour on this.)
[18:52] Sheena: "Good to go here"
[18:52] Alathon: ((haha))
[18:52] Alathon: ((just say what you do))
[18:53] * Mani leads the way back.
[18:53] Alathon: ((if it seems like nothing is happening, make something happening))
[18:53] Alathon: You succeed, and pick up Kuonji along the way.
[18:53] Mani: (Beats sitting in a house when the Riders kick in what's left of the door, anyway.)
[18:54] Alathon: You'll run into a number of Harleyrider squads along the way.. they seem to be operating in chunks of around 3-5 squads.
[18:54] * Reis heads back, taking cover and spreading illusions.
[18:54] * Sheena takes place as Mani's wingman again
[18:54] Alathon: They're a little jumpy, but no friendly fire incidents unless you initiate them.
[18:54] Alathon: If you choose to head back to the camp, you can do so.
[18:54] * Mani waves to groups when appropriate.
[18:55] * Mani heads back to the camp.
[18:55] Sheena: (hmmm, mani marching down the street.. in her armor, with that sword out? I don't think there waving back :P )
[18:55] Mani: (Hey, I'm sure it makes a better impression than white armor would. And I think she'd sheathe her swords for the walk.)
[18:56] * Sheena looks around to see the gernal damage to the town... not like she's compairing or anything.
[18:56] Mani: (Besides, the Riders wear black, too. :) )
[18:57] Mani: (*resets her hp to max.)
[18:57] Sheena: (...)
[18:57] Alathon: They'll ask for information about what you've encountered; I'm assuming you'll provide it.
[18:57] Mani: (Of course.)
[18:57] * Sheena just floats near mani with dark heart in war mode.
[18:58] Alathon: Okay.
[18:58] Alathon: You'll return to the camp without incident.
[18:58] Alathon: There's a semi-regular stream of harleyriders, usually in squad-strength, going forward and back.
[18:59] Mani: (Are tents and such set up?)
[18:59] Alathon: When you head back, you'll see that there's a substantial number of riders deployed around the area where the various vehicles were parked.
[18:59] Alathon: Only a few tents seem to have been set up, and on examination they appear to be for the greivously wounded.
[18:59] Alathon: Those with lost limbs or eyes are the most noticeable.
[19:00] Alathon: There aren't really many who look 'normally wounded'..
[19:00] Mani: "Mmm, I'd better see what I can do to help..."
[19:00] Alathon: 3ep per use of rank 3 healing magic w/ focus, I believe?
[19:01] Mani: "I'll catch up with you guys later."
[19:01] Alathon: You'll find several dozen.
[19:01] Mani: (rank 5 healing magic with focus. 1-5ep per use, depending on how much she heals.)
[19:01] Sheena: "Good luck with that mani, hmmm"
[19:02] * Sheena looks around a bit
[19:02] Alathon: Yuuno: "You know, you could learn that too, Sheena."
[19:02] Alathon: Yuuno says this almost reproachfully.
[19:02] Alathon: ((nod))
[19:02] Alathon: ((it's rank 3 to regrow imbs I think))
[19:02] Mani: (Any ep regenned since the fight?)
[19:02] Mani: (rank 5)
[19:02] Sheena: "I can?"
[19:02] Alathon: it's been less than an hour, so no
[19:02] * Reis blinks. "That... would certainly be helpful."
[19:02] Alathon: okay, we're both wrong
[19:02] Alathon: it's rank 4 to restore lost body parts
[19:02] Mani: (Yep. 4. :) )
[19:03] Sheena: "After my eyes i figered that mixing my engery with body would be a bad thing."
[19:03] Alathon: Yuuno: "Maybe.. you could have a point."
[19:03] Alathon: Yuuno: "Not everyone has a talent for that sort of work. And I don't know if Reis's style of energy manipulation would support it, either."
[19:03] Mani: (I suppose she'd get 1 hour worth of ep regen while healing people, yes?)
[19:03] Alathon: Back to Mani
[19:04] Alathon: If you want it, yes.. it's been around 40 minutes, and simply moving around the tents will take 20
[19:04] Mani: (Ok, what's the regen rate again? 1 + highest int/wis/cha mod?)
[19:04] Alathon: More than a few of the Harleyriders you heal, male or female, practically tackle you with hugs.
[19:04] Alathon: Crying.
[19:04] * Sheena nods, "Remember mani can craft detailed crystal from thin air, she just has a talent for hte details needed for that kinds stuff. Me and reis.. well. Blow shit up"
[19:04] Alathon: ((yes))
[19:04] Sheena: (ooop?)
[19:05] * Mani focuses on the ones missing bodyparts.
[19:05] Alathon: It will be quite obvious after only a handful of conversations that while healing talents are not unknown, that calibre of healing is legendary.
[19:05] Mani: (Eyes and limbs first.)
[19:06] Alathon: The only ones that are living but considered injured are those with missing body parts
[19:06] Sheena: (Darth-chan's getting legendary rep? heh)
[19:06] Alathon: There are fatalities as well, be laid out in orderly rows.
[19:06] Mani: (If anyone dies while she's there, she'll try to revive them.)
[19:06] Alathon: Nobody will.
[19:07] Alathon: Even the wounded that come back are semi-hardy.. if you think about it abit, the reason is obvious.. they can't regenerate the lost body parts, but they've been regenerating the whole time they've been travelling from the front.
[19:07] Mani: (Yep.)
[19:07] Alathon: After a while, a rather old-ish man tries to get your attention.
[19:08] Alathon: Harleyrider, grey streaked beard, a couple minor facial scars.. but otherwise typical of the Riders.
[19:08] * Mani gives it to him.
[19:09] Alathon: Man: "Ma'am.. you're one of the observers from, uh.. Toko, if I'm not mistaken?"
[19:09] Mani: "Yes, that's correct."
[19:09] Alathon: Man: "'msorry if my pronunciation's off.. only just heard mention of it a couple days back."
[19:10] Mani: "Don't worry about it."
[19:10] Alathon: Man nods.
[19:11] Alathon: Man: "Right.. I'm George Dorn, and it's a pleasure to meet you."
[19:11] Alathon: He'll offer you a handshake.
[19:11] Mani: "My name is Mani. What can I do for you <overlaps his introduction>"
[19:11] * Mani smiles and shakes hands.
[19:11] Alathon: George: "Well.. a whole lot, it looks like."
[19:11] Alathon: He motions toward whichever tent you most recently left.
[19:12] Alathon: George: "Heard tell you can grow back hands, eyes 'n such. That the case?"
[19:12] Mani: "Yes."
[19:13] Alathon: George smiles brightly.
[19:13] Alathon: George: "That's a blessed fine gift to have, if ever I've heard of one."
[19:13] Sheena: ("Good you see back in 69..*starts to unzip his pants*)
[19:14] * Mani nods.
[19:14] Mani: "I agree completely. It's good to be able to defend people who need your help, but it's great being able to heal them."
[19:15] Alathon: George nods.
[19:15] Alathon: George: "I wanted to ask.. um.."
[19:15] Alathon: George: "Mind you, this is me asking, not telling."
[19:15] Alathon: George: "But would you mind hanging back, rather than observing up-close and all?"
[19:15] Alathon: George: "We're liable to have a lot more casualties over the next couple days."
[19:15] * Mani thinks.
[19:16] Mani: "I don't have a personal objection to it, but I'll need to consult with my team and check my orders before I can give an answer."
[19:18] Alathon: George: "Right.. of course."
[19:18] Alathon: George: "And, thanks for everything you've already done."
[19:18] Alathon: George: "Just wanted to say it."
[19:18] * Mani nods solemnly.
[19:18] Mani: "It's my pleasure."
[19:19] Alathon: George: "Thank you."
[19:19] Alathon: He'll hesitate a moemnt, before heading off.
[19:20] Mani: (There are more people than she can heal in one shot with her ep pool, right?)
[19:20] Alathon: Yes.
[19:20] Alathon: By about a dozen, and there's more trickling in.
[19:21] Sheena: (Your working the ER, )
[19:21] * Mani lets someone handling the tent(s) that she's taking a break now but plans to return when she's had a chance to rest a bit.
[19:21] Mani: +know
[19:22] * Mani returns to the party.
[19:22] Mani: "How's everyone doing?"
[19:23] Mani: (Ken: "Zzzzz." The sound of a comm shattering is faintly heard.)
[19:23] * Reis looks up. "We're all right, Mani-san."
[19:23] Alathon: ((heh))
[19:23] Alathon: Ken: "Feeling a little stretched.. Enigma's right out near his limit."
[19:24] Mani: "Good. I have a question for you guys."
[19:24] Mani: "And if you start to get tired, retrieve the comm and rest, Ken."
[19:25] * Sheena looks up from her com and the report she was working on
[19:26] Alathon: Ken: "I think I'm good for a bit longer.. and it won't really be that long until sunset regardless."
[19:26] Sheena: "Whats going on now?"
[19:26] Mani: "It seems that I'd me more appreciated and probably more useful staying at the camp healing severe injuries."
[19:26] Mani: "Would you guys be all right going back into the battle without me?"
[19:27] Mani: "When you're rested, of course."
[19:27] Sheena: "Would you be safe backhere? what if they hit the camp hard."
[19:27] * Mani smiles slightly.
[19:28] Mani: "Sounds like it'd be better for me to be here if that happens."
[19:28] Mani: (There are a lot of Riders around camp, too, right?)
[19:28] Alathon: ((yes))
[19:28] Mani: "But the camp looks very well defended."
[19:29] Alathon: Looking around, it's fair to guess there's at least a hundred active riders.. plus a couple dozen that recently became un-wounded, and some comign in and out.
[19:30] Mani: "I'm more concerned with removing a decent bit of fighting power and all healing from our group."
[19:31] Alathon: Kuonji: "We've still got fighting power left.. but no healing."
[19:31] Alathon: Kuonji: "I can certainly operate on my own indefinately..."
[19:31] * Mani nods.
[19:31] Alathon: Kuonji: "Perhaps it would be wiser for Ken and myself to take responsibility for observation of this mission."
[19:31] Sheena: "You know me and reis don't really have to be there to blow something up,"
[19:32] Mani: "It may be possible for you to go with a group of Riders, too."
[19:32] Alathon: Ken: "Yeah.. actually."
[19:32] Alathon: Ken: "Maybe we should all stay here.. just keep an eye out for angels on high, and all that."
[19:32] Alathon: Ken: "I can take 'em at almost a mile with a standard plasma rifle, and Sheena and Reis can go even further.. right?"
[19:32] * Sheena hmms
[19:33] Sheena: "If i readjust again yes."
[19:33] Alathon: Ken: "Oh."
[19:33] * Reis nods. "I can reach four miles, though I can't actually see that far without a modification."
[19:33] Mani: "Ken, I'd be concerned about you going back in without Enigma or a melee fighter accompanying you."
[19:33] Alathon: Ken: "I'm not that bad off.. I can shoot just as well as ever, it's not like he got my eyes."
[19:34] Alathon: Ken is at this point bandaged over most of his face with gauze.
[19:34] Sheena: "Right now my ranged system is off line for this new war mode im field testing.. eh so far so good but it does drain a lot of power."
[19:34] Alathon: He rather looks like a mummy-face
[19:34] Alathon: Ken: "Oh."
[19:34] Sheena: "Reis and i would only be able to do one or two fights before having to retreat again"
[19:34] Alathon: He looks over at Reis.
[19:34] Mani: "No, and Sheena and Reis are great at taking out enemies, but sometimes you just can't beat having someone who can put herself between you and the enemy."
[19:35] Mani: "Ok. How does this sound? I'll offer my healing ability and we can ask whoever's in charge of this camp how your ranged abilities could best be used."
[19:35] Alathon: Kuonji, slowly: "If a major angel attack force came by, the city would be the target.. and there wouldn't be much for us to do against hundreds."
[19:36] Alathon: Kuonji: "We could do that.. if a minor force stopped by, like the ones that have attacked us.. in 2's and 3's.. if they're smart, they'd go after this camp."
[19:36] Alathon: Kuonji: "Smaller concentration, and lots of wounded."
[19:36] * Mani nods.
[19:36] Sheena: "And we would be waiting"
[19:36] Mani: "And coordination is very important in situations like this."
[19:36] Alathon: Kuonji grins.
[19:36] Alathon: Kuonji: "My thinking exactly."
[19:37] Sheena: "It does fit our observer roll a bit more."
[19:37] Sheena: "So far it seems that the city if full of standered ust forces, something they seem toi be having no problems with"
[19:38] Mani: "Well, that last battle was quite informative, but I think the service we can do here weighs more heavily than going back in."
[19:38] Alathon: Yuuno: "for what it's worth, I think we can do a lot more good in the rear, healing Riders who would never fight again, without our help."
[19:39] Mani: "Right."
[19:39] Alathon: Yuuno: "Ken can gather more intelligence with Enigma, right?"
[19:39] * Reis nods. "Going right in doesn't really play to our strengths... We barely make a dent in their forces."
[19:39] Alathon: Yuuno: "And... yeah."
[19:39] Alathon: Yuuno pauses for a moment.
[19:39] Alathon: Yuuno: "I didn't wanna say it outright, but.. yeah. You all took out what, like thirty of 'em?"
[19:40] Alathon: Yuuno: "And it's not like that's a small thing.. that's like, six for every one of you.
[19:40] Alathon: Kuonji: "Thirty-three."
[19:40] Sheena: "I agree,"
[19:40] Alathon: Yuuno: "Whatever."
[19:40] Mani: "Especially considering the angels and evas."
[19:40] Alathon: Yuuno: "Wait, thirty-three?"
[19:40] Alathon: Yuuno: "I thought there were, like.. maybe a couple dozen riflemen and then the evas and a couple angels?"
[19:41] Alathon: Kuonji grins.
[19:41] Alathon: Kuonji: "I bagged a few more."
[19:41] Alathon: Ken: "Oh, what Ever..."
[19:41] Mani: ("Sakura! No teabagging!")
[19:41] Alathon: Kuonji's still grinning.
[19:41] Alathon: ((... I really hope you didn't mean that in the sexual sense))
[19:42] Sheena: "Im a bit Iff'y about designing a better more efficent way to wipe out there normal troops. The bosses opion of me is rather low as it is"
[19:42] Alathon: (( or do I? ;p ))
[19:42] Mani: (In the immature multiplayer fps behavior sense.)
[19:42] Alathon: ((what does teabagging refer to? going for killshots?))
[19:43] Sheena: (sittong on there bodys head)
[19:43] Alathon: ((... so yeah, what I said ;p ))
[19:43] Mani: (Repeatedly crouching over the face of someone you just killed, from what I understand.)
[19:43] Alathon: ((and, hahahaha...))
[19:43] Alathon: ((Kuonji wouldn't quite do that.. unless they really had it coming, from what I can tell))
[19:43] Mani: (Well, not exactly. It was referring to gaming behavior based on the sexual sense.)
[19:43] Sheena: (... great now i think keys doing that while invisable over his kills)
[19:44] Alathon: ((you'll never know, will you ;p ))
[19:44] Sheena: (*kuonys bah! )
[19:44] Alathon: Ken: "But whatever.. yeah, that makes sense to me."
[19:44] Alathon: Ken: "I mean.. I'm ready to fight if we're going to, but I wouldn't mind a day off either."
[19:45] Mani: "Ok, we'll all stay at the camp, then."
[19:45] Alathon: ((heh.. you all can now tell that I just don't play many multiplayer fps))
[19:45] Sheena: "We still havn't gottin a reply from the boss, so i guess waiting is good"
[19:45] Alathon: Yuuno: "Reply? What were you askin?"
[19:45] Mani: (I don't play any. I just read sites that talk about them. :) )
[19:46] Sheena: ".. I sent off all the combat info for this fight when it was still a day off. Remember how the over all numbers look in the long term?"
[19:46] Mani: "Mmm, speaking of which, Sheena, not counting personal issues, could you forward me a summary of what you send back home, just so I'm not completely out of the loop on things?"
[19:46] Sheena: (or al just forgets about messages we send back..)
[19:47] Sheena: "Sure"
[19:47] Mani: "Thanks."
[19:47] Sheena: (then again i dont remember it all myself.. it's been two weeks)
[19:47] Alathon: ((I remember them, I just can't keep them all straight some of the time))
[19:47] Mani: "Same for the rest of you, actually."
[19:47] Alathon: Yuuno: "oh, right."
[19:47] Sheena: "A day off to recharge.. i can probly finsh the other reports on late on to"
[19:48] Sheena: "You want CC's of thoes as well?"
[19:48] Mani: "Anyway, I'll go let George know that we'll be staying in camp and ask him about coordinating with the camp leader."
[19:48] * Mani thinks.
[19:49] Mani: "I wouldn't mind it, actually."
[19:49] Sheena: "Ok"
[19:50] Alathon: Yuuno: "Have to admit.. I don't mind hanging back a bit."
[19:50] Sheena: "Just figered there was some things in there you would rather not know about"
[19:50] Alathon: Yuuno: "It doesn't take much, bullet wise, to do really ugly things to me."
[19:50] * Mani raises an eyebrow.
[19:51] Alathon: Yuuno looks up at Mani.
[19:51] Alathon: Yuuno: "Hey!"
[19:51] Mani: (At Sheena's words. :p )
[19:51] Alathon: Yuuno: "If you saw people shooting bullets that were, like.. a tenth of your body weight, you'd be worried too!"
[19:51] Alathon: ((heh))
[19:51] Alathon: ((yuuno misinterpreted that.. maybe intentionally ;p ))
[19:52] * Mani looks down at Yuuno, obviously having no idea what he's talking about. "What?"
[19:52] Alathon: btw mani, PM
[19:52] Mani: (Oh, so there is.)
[19:52] * Mani frowns.
[19:52] Alathon: Yuuno: "Well.. I mean, I know those hurt when they hit you."
[19:52] Alathon: Yuuno: "But I'm, like.. a twentieth of your size. They hurt me a helluva lot more."
[19:53] Sheena: "Do bettter in large scale magical fights huh yuuno? Or would you rather go back to teaching?"
[19:53] * Mani stands up.
[19:53] Mani: "Incoming."
[19:53] Alathon: Yuuno: "Well, I'd rather avoid large scale WHAT?"
[19:53] Sheena: "oh?"
[19:53] Alathon: Yuuno flashes around to look at Mani.
[19:54] * Sheena gets up and slips her shades back on, Dark Heart is still in war mode
[19:54] Alathon: Ken: "Aw, hell."
[19:54] Sheena: "Where?"
[19:54] * Mani energizes her swords and steps out into the open.
[19:54] Alathon: Kuonji vanishes.
[19:54] * Reis blinks and stands suddenly. "Really?"
[19:54] Alathon: Kuonji's voice: "Orders?"
[19:54] * Sheena looks around for magic as she follows Mani
[19:54] * Mani shouts, "Heads up! Something nasty's nearby!"
[19:55] Alathon: A number of harleyriders look over at you, surprised.
[19:55] Alathon: They then look around...
[19:55] Alathon: Nothing seems to be immediately amiss.
[19:55] Mani: "See if you can find it, Sakura."
[19:55] Alathon: voice of sakura, "Hai!"
[19:55] Sheena: (i see any magic around or do ineed to roll?)
[19:55] * Mani calls to the riders, "I don't know what or exactly where, but it's big and it's nearby. I can feel it."
[19:55] Alathon: Nothing jumps out at you..
[19:55] * Reis heads out of the tent after Sheena, prepping Swordbreaker and clumsily slinging the rifle over an arm.
[19:56] * Mani activates her uniform's armor.
[19:56] Sheena: (two hours EP regain?)
[19:56] Alathon: ((yes))
[19:56] Mani: (Not for me, I bet. But Mani didn't drain herself completely.)
[19:56] Alathon: As you look around, Riders are starting to respond to the alert call, and searching for a threat.
[19:56] Alathon: Mani's comm beeps.
[19:57] Alathon: Ken: "Allright, I'm ready to roll!"
[19:57] * Mani checks her comm.
[19:57] Sheena: "I wonder what they summoned up for us.. You read anything dark heart?"
[19:57] Mani: "Sakura found it."
[19:57] * Mani heads for the tents at a run.
[19:57] Sheena: "Lets go say hello.. hey wait!"
[19:57] Alathon: Right then, two greyfaces emerge from a tent several dozen feet in front of you all.. and a couple emerge from tents on your right.
[19:57] * Sheena flys after darthchan
[19:57] Alathon: init
[19:58] * Reis raises a shield and spreads illusions.
[19:58] Reis: (And I was typing that up before you said init :P )
[19:58] Mani: roll 1d20+9
[19:58] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{16}
[19:58] Reis: roll 1d20+6
[19:58] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{11}
[19:58] Sheena: Roll 1d20+4
[19:58] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{21}
[19:58] Sheena: (oh wow)
[19:58] Sheena: (highest init ever)
[19:59] Alathon: roll 4#1d20+12
[19:59] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 4#1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{18}, [ 1d20=7 ]{19}, [ 1d20=3 ]{15}, [ 1d20=19 ]{31}
[19:59] Alathon: ((you can get teh shield up, but no illusions))
[19:59] Reis: (Gotcha)
[19:59] Mani: (Yay. Everything for Mani up and running before the fight starts. :) )
[19:59] * Reis was close to Sheena during this time.
[20:00] Alathon: roll 1d20+9 Ken
[20:00] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+9 Ken --> [ 1d20=14 ]{23}
[20:00] Alathon: Ken stays back a bit, taking cover in a tent.
[20:00] Sheena: (im waiting for the bad guy that forgets to set a high init like normal players)
[20:00] Mani: (Hopefully not one full of greys. :) )
[20:00] Alathon: ((uh.. that's been like half of 'em, plus the mooks))
[20:00] Alathon: ((so... 4/5th of em))
[20:01] Sheena: (not from sheens'a point of view, then again she's last most every fight)
[20:01] Alathon: ((anyways.. pouring myself a drink, then combat order))
[20:02] Sheena: (oh dear)
[20:02] Sheena: (i got the advent children soundtrack going..)
[20:04] Alathon: ((heh))
[20:05] Alathon: ((I just want something ot suck on, so I'm ont taking a break when people are rolling and expect a response))
[20:05] Alathon: ((anywas))
[20:08] Alathon: Fight Order: Greyface #1, Ken, Sheena, Greyface #2, Greyface #3, Mani, Greyface #4, Reis
[20:08] Alathon: as a side note.. in the future, unless there's a really good reason to do otherwise, I'm doing the numbering by init order
[20:08] Alathon: since I think that makes it easier to tell who's who
[20:08] Alathon: in the future and now, that is
[20:08] Sheena: (k)
[20:09] Mani: (Oh, please... then *anyone* will be able to tell what's going on!)
[20:09] Sheena: "..Xxxx xxxx xxxx, Xxxx xxx xxx xx"
[20:09] Alathon: ((Serenity forbid!))
[20:09] Alathon: alright
[20:10] Sheena: (she just might)
[20:10] Alathon: Reis, you can catch sheena once she stops, otherwise she's faster than you
[20:10] Alathon: or chooses to slow down in the next round or whatever
[20:10] Alathon: greyface number one runs and leaps at Sheena
[20:10] Alathon: roll 2#1d20+28
[20:11] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{36}, [ 1d20=15 ]{43}
[20:11] Sheena: (thats higher then my dodge mod even if i crit 20)
[20:11] Mani: (Crit still dodges, though.)
[20:11] Alathon: ((if you crit it's a dodge regardless))
[20:12] Sheena: (true)
[20:12] Alathon: ((you can chooose not to dodge if you think it's wasted however))
[20:12] Alathon: in anticipation of later attacks that are more dangerous
[20:12] Sheena: (but i would prefer not to blow my power defence on something it wont dodge any way)
[20:12] Alathon: though.. it's all greyfaces ;p
[20:12] Alathon: *nod* there's also that
[20:12] Reis: (Well, try to dodge normally ;) )
[20:12] Sheena: Roll 1d20+7
[20:12] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{10}
[20:13] * Sheena sheena can't get out of the way and just takes it
[20:13] Alathon: roll 2#2d4+5

[20:13] Alathon: roll 2#1d8
[20:13] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d8 --> [ 1d8=2 ]{2}, [ 1d8=2 ]{2}
[20:13] Alathon: those claws sting like acid when they make it through both your own armor field, and the CT armor.
[20:13] Alathon: Ken is up.
[20:14] Sheena: (are they AP?)
[20:14] Alathon: Yes
[20:14] Sheena: (or burning?)
[20:14] Alathon: sorry, AP +1
[20:14] Alathon: and they just feel like they burn.. unpleasantness-wise
[20:14] Sheena: (ok, ap+1 is a bit more damage then zipo)
[20:14] Alathon: *nod*
[20:14] Alathon: ((heh, 8 damage total ;p ))
[20:15] Sheena: (what about the personal force field thats up?)
[20:15] Alathon: ((you put that up?))
[20:15] Sheena: (thats basical for flight? it gets drops in one hit right)
[20:15] Sheena: (Its not magical)
[20:15] Sheena: (its a low level one made for the high speed flight)
[20:15] Sheena: (IE-SHeena remembers what venus taught her)
[20:15] Alathon: ((ohhh right))
[20:16] Alathon: ((the first attack knocks it down since it's before armor, and the first 1d8 doesn't count as it doesn't penetrate))
[20:16] Sheena: (ya know.. bug's+face+flying=ewwwwww)
[20:16] Alathon: The second attack penetrates armor and deals 2+2 = 4 damage total
[20:16] Alathon: and, yeah ;p
[20:16] Sheena: (ok)
[20:16] Alathon: roll 1d20+23

[20:17] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3#4d8+2 --> [ 4d8=20 ]{22}, [ 4d8=20 ]{22}, [ 4d8=16 ]{18}
[20:17] Alathon: And eats three bolts of plasma.
[20:17] Alathon: Sheena is up
[20:18] Sheena: "Xxxx xxxx xxx xxxx, xxxx xxx xxx xxxx"
[20:18] Alathon: There's a greyface up in your face, and one on the ground that just got shot
[20:18] Alathon: the other two aren' in your immediate field of vision
[20:18] Mani: "Watch the collateral damage!"
[20:18] Alathon: Greyface: "xxxxx xxxxx"
[20:18] * Sheena raises her hand above her head and rips off a couple shots
[20:18] Alathon: Which one?
[20:18] Sheena: (what numbers on the ground?)
[20:18] Alathon: you see two, and know there's another two off to the left-ish somewhere
[20:19] Sheena: (so 1 and 2?)
[20:19] Alathon: 1 just got up in your face, 2 is on the ground closeby and just got shot
[20:19] Sheena: Roll 1d20+26 at #1
[20:19] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+26 at #1 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{27}
[20:19] Sheena: (DR....)
[20:19] Reis: (... Owie)
[20:20] Sheena: (shesh)
[20:20] Sheena: (these bots make freaking Dr mandatory)
[20:20] Sheena: Roll 1d20+26 at #1
[20:20] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+26 at #1 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{35}

[20:20] Sheena: Roll 1d20+20 at #2 Axel Shooter
[20:20] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+20 at #2 Axel Shooter --> [ 1d20=2 ]{22}
[20:20] Alathon: ((axel shooter or buster?))
[20:20] Alathon: ((okay))
[20:21] Sheena: Roll 1d20+16 at #2 Axel Shooter
[20:21] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+16 at #2 Axel Shooter --> [ 1d20=3 ]{19}
[20:21] Sheena: (WTF!! 1 2 and 3? )
[20:21] Sheena: (hax)
[20:21] Alathon: ((apparently))
[20:21] Mani: (Dropping by 6 then 4?)
[20:21] Alathon: Yeah I mentioned that before too ;p
[20:21] Alathon: correct your sheet ;p
[20:22] Sheena: (wait what? grrrr)
[20:22] Alathon: The bolts of energy shoot out, cruising towards the Greyface
[20:22] Alathon: Greyface number two delays his action
[20:23] Alathon: Greyface number three rushes forward at speed, blurring to reach Ken, and attacks.
[20:23] Alathon: roll 2#1d20+28
[20:23] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{32}, [ 1d20=4 ]{32}
[20:23] Alathon: roll 1d20+8
[20:23] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{15}
[20:23] Alathon: roll 1d20+6
[20:23] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{24}
[20:23] Mani: (1,2,3,4...)

[20:24] Alathon: roll 2#2d4+5 AP +1
[20:24] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#2d4+5 AP +1 --> [ 2d4=7 ]{12}, [ 2d4=8 ]{13}

[20:24] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d8 --> [ 1d8=5 ]{5}, [ 1d8=7 ]{7}
[20:25] Alathon: It tears into Ken, hurting him rather badly.
[20:25] Alathon: Mani is up.
[20:25] Mani: (Can I get a full set of attacks at the one on Ken?)
[20:25] Alathon: No, you were already heading for the tents
[20:26] Alathon: but at speed, youc an easily make it back to engage
[20:26] Sheena: "I got this Mani, go help ken"
[20:27] Mani: (Well, if I was starting toward the tents and one ran from the tents at Ken, who I was starting out by, I don't think I'd be that far from him, especially since the grey got to go before me.)
[20:27] Alathon: ((you're not))
[20:27] Alathon: however, you're not within, say, 5 feet of them
[20:27] Alathon: and that's how close you have to be to get a full round attack, with no move action necessary
[20:28] Mani: (Think I would have been able to engage it on the way if it ran past me to get Ken, but ok...)
[20:28] Alathon: keep in mind, the "full attack" requires the whole round... so you can't do more than adjust a little if you want to initiate it
[20:28] Mani: roll 2#1d20+30
[20:28] Alathon: it was one of the ones on the left
[20:28] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{40}, [ 1d20=3 ]{33}
[20:28] Alathon: #3 and #4 are
[20:28] Alathon: roll 1d20+18
[20:28] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{23}
[20:28] Alathon: roll 1d20+16
[20:28] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+16 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{21}
[20:28] Alathon: both connect
[20:28] Mani: roll 2#1d8+8
[20:28] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#1d8+8 --> [ 1d8=2 ]{10}, [ 1d8=4 ]{12}
[20:29] Alathon: both penetrate
[20:29] Alathon: ((and both are energized))
[20:29] Mani: (AP 1. Is it even armored?)
[20:29] Alathon: You cut into it easily, if it has armor, it sure didn't stop your swords.
[20:29] Mani: roll 2#3d8
[20:29] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#3d8 --> [ 3d8=7 ]{7}, [ 3d8=8 ]{8}
[20:29] Sheena: (..)
[20:29] Alathon: It's flesh temporarily brightens due to subdermal magic detonations.
[20:30] Alathon: Anyone who's looking sees Greyface number four makes a series of gestures....
[20:31] Sheena: (joy..)
[20:32] Mani: (WoW 'dancing'.)
[20:32] * Reis frowns and adjusts her own plans.
[20:32] Reis: (Is it saying anything?)
[20:34] Alathon: A cube of translucent visual distortion appears in an instant around Mani.
[20:34] Alathon: Reis is up.
[20:34] Reis: (Did it say anything to do that?)
[20:34] Reis: (Ie, general chanting...)
[20:35] Alathon: Reis doesn't know, she's not looking that way, and not close enough to hear anything
[20:35] Reis: (Bleh)
[20:36] * Reis moves up to support Sheena and smashes into Sheens's greyface with ribbons.
[20:36] Reis: roll 1d20+26
[20:36] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{38}
[20:36] Alathon: the one attacking her (#1), or the one she attacked (#2)
[20:37] Reis: (Um... Wasn't Sheena attacking the one in her face?)
[20:37] Alathon: ((oh wait))
[20:37] Alathon: You're right
[20:37] Sheena: (both)
[20:37] Alathon: she attacked the one in her face
[20:37] Alathon: sigh
[20:37] Alathon: she attacked #1
[20:37] Alathon: KEN attacked #2
[20:37] Reis: (Heh)
[20:37] Sheena: (umm i shot at both of em.. or can't i do that?)
[20:38] Sheena: (considering the sky above us if filled with black death at the moment...0
[20:38] Mani: (Gonna have the Riders nearby shoot at the greys, btw?)
[20:39] Alathon: Absolutely
[20:39] Alathon: assuming that they're not shooting at Other greys, of course
[20:39] Alathon: ((uhhhhhh whaaa? sheena?))
[20:39] Alathon: ((you used Axel shooter))
[20:39] Sheena: (yes)
[20:39] Sheena: (3 times, so there's many shots in the air..)
[20:39] Sheena: (didnt mean one huge blob :P)
[20:40] Alathon: this time they're all at #1, as that's the one you said
[20:40] Alathon: if you wanna hit both, you need to say so
[20:40] Alathon: as there's a penalty for splitting attacks
[20:40] Sheena: ...
[20:40] Mani: (It was specified.)
[20:40] Alathon: ok nm
[20:40] Alathon: you did
[20:40] Alathon: just scrolled back
[20:40] Alathon: one shot at #1, two at #2
[20:40] Mani: (But the penalty wasn't applied, so far as I know.)
[20:41] Alathon: I'll apply the penalty on the dodges
[20:41] Sheena: (There's a penalty for sliping normal attakcs, not bab shots.0
[20:41] Sheena: (on not? hmmm)
[20:41] Alathon: for splitting attacks there's always a penalty of +2 per additional target
[20:41] Alathon: cumulative
[20:41] Sheena: (ahh)
[20:41] Alathon: roll 1d20+18
[20:41] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{29}
[20:41] Alathon: ((er, 19))
[20:41] Alathon: Reis hits
[20:42] Alathon: ((there's actually rules for mooks that negate that, so you can attack a shit ton of mooks at once with no penalty.. but these are not mooks))
[20:42] Reis: roll 2#4d8
[20:42] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 2#4d8 --> [ 4d8=22 ]{22}, [ 4d8=23 ]{23}
[20:42] Sheena: (not if that one casted what i think it did)
[20:42] Alathon: sorry, I shoulda carried on the conversation while combat was continuing ;p
[20:42] Alathon: that's the sorta thing that drags out combat
[20:42] * Reis pounds a set of ribbons into him.
[20:42] Alathon: forcecage?
[20:43] Reis: (Hm?)
[20:43] Sheena: (i dont mind,)
[20:43] Alathon: They tear into the greyface, and bits of blood spray.
[20:43] Sheena: (yes, or that crystal prison one)
[20:44] * Reis floats up beside Sheena.
[20:44] Alathon: The Greyface #2 finally acts, and attacks.. the bolts of force coming at him.
[20:44] Alathon: roll 2#1d20+28
[20:44] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{45}, [ 1d20=20 ]{48}

[20:44] Alathon: roll 2#1d8
[20:44] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d8 --> [ 1d8=7 ]{7}, [ 1d8=2 ]{2}
[20:45] Sheena: (i forgot how to check my power.. hang on)
[20:45] Alathon: To destroy a stoppable atack you need to deal 3 damage per 1d8
[20:45] Alathon: so 12 per, and it succeeds
[20:46] Alathon: They greyface swings its claws out in succession, left and right each catching a series of magical bolts, and rending them into sparkles of power.
[20:46] Alathon: roll 1d20+17
[20:46] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{24}
[20:46] Alathon: Sheena, roll your damage on #1
[20:46] Alathon: The other greyface fails to dodge the attack, and eats them.
[20:47] Sheena: (umm al, 24 damage a shot)
[20:47] Alathon: ((hm?
[20:47] Sheena: (war mode)
[20:47] Sheena: (its 8x3=hp)
[20:48] Alathon: ((hmm
[20:48] Alathon: you're right
[20:48] Alathon: lets see
[20:48] Sheena: Roll 6d8+2 +#1
[20:48] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 6d8+2 +#1 --> [ 6d8=19 ]{21}
[20:48] Alathon: 9+7 == 16, doesn't kill
[20:48] Alathon: 14+2 == 6, doesn't kill
[20:48] Alathon: yeah, all three connect
[20:48] Alathon: wait
[20:48] Alathon: it still gets dodges.. but heh
[20:48] Alathon: roll 1d20+19
[20:48] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{31}
[20:48] Alathon: roll 1d20+17
[20:48] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{26}
[20:49] Sheena: (it attacked them how does it get to dodge after its swats fail to stop them?)
[20:49] Alathon: your attacks don't hit until end of the round
[20:49] Mani: (You get to dodge after you attack.)
[20:49] Alathon: it gets its normal actions before the round ends
[20:49] Alathon: and, what mani said, in general
[20:49] Alathon: it dodges the second, but not the first
[20:49] Sheena: (i know the rules, but pictureing the scene in my head it makes no sense at all)
[20:49] Alathon: so, it eats that 21
[20:50] Sheena: Roll 6d8+2
[20:50] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 6d8+2 --> [ 6d8=30 ]{32}
[20:50] Alathon: imagine it spinning, slapping claws out at the attacks while displacing sideways.
[20:50] Alathon: that's how I am ;p
[20:50] Alathon: the first one gets hurt, the second one gets more hurt.
[20:50] Alathon: Both attacks penetrate whatever armor the target possesses and bore into their flesh.
[20:51] Sheena: "Ill teach you to show proper respect for you're betters."
[20:51] Alathon: #1 is still looking reasonably good.. #2, betwen the plasma blasts and the axel shooter, is looking a little uneasy.
[20:51] Sheena: (where's sakura?)
[20:52] Alathon: You don't know
[20:52] Alathon: OOC she's not here so I don't have to roll another NPC's attacks
[20:52] Mani: (I'm sure he'll make his presence known shortly.)
[20:52] Alathon: oh, I mean he's ;p
[20:52] Mani: (Hmph.)
[20:52] Alathon: anyways
[20:52] Alathon: end of the round, top of the order

[20:53] Alathon: roll 2#1d20+18
[20:53] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{30}, [ 1d20=17 ]{35}
[20:53] Alathon: this is where flying is The Shit
[20:53] Alathon: even against jumpers, they don't get their full attack
[20:53] Sheena: (err did you mean that the other way around?)
[20:54] Alathon: ((er, +28 actually))
[20:54] Alathon: ... adn yeah I did
[20:54] Alathon: even AS jumpers
[20:54] * Sheena just watchs the thing jump up and down
[20:54] Alathon: you eat the attacks?
[20:55] *** DCG has joined #crystaltokyo.
[20:55] *** Sheena has signed off IRC (Connection reset by peer).
[20:55] Alathon: er
[20:55] Alathon: oh, wb
[20:55] *** DCG is now known as Sheena.
[20:55] Mani: (Strong attacks...)
[20:55] Sheena: (yesi guess i do)
[20:55] Sheena: (wait what?)
[20:55] Alathon: two attacks
[20:55] Alathon: a 40 and 45
[20:55] Alathon: do you try to dodge, or what?
[20:55] Alathon: your shield is down for a round to recharge
[20:56] Reis: (Yeah, but MY shield is up, baby!)
[20:56] Alathon: not until you catch up ;p

[20:56] Alathon: ...
[20:56] Reis: (Wait, didn't I just DO that? It took an extra turn?)
[20:56] Alathon: roll 2#1d8
[20:56] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d8 --> [ 1d8=7 ]{7}, [ 1d8=3 ]{3}
[20:57] Alathon: hmm
[20:57] Alathon: actually uou have a point
[20:57] Alathon: you said you moved up to melee the one attacking sheena
[20:57] Alathon: but why does your shield matter?
[20:57] Reis: ('cause it's extendable, and I would hold it out to protect Sheena too)
[20:58] Alathon: right
[20:58] Alathon: sigh
[20:58] Alathon: I need to create a reis lvl 14a char sheet
[20:58] Alathon: er 15
[20:58] Alathon: that actually has your updated IoP
[20:58] Alathon: anyways
[20:58] Reis: (Heh. Even _I_ haven't finished the 15, but it's got three ranks of FF :P )
[20:59] Mani: (Mm, did the riders damage our greys last round or are they occupied with others?)
[20:59] Alathon: There are gunshots
[20:59] Alathon: all around you
[20:59] Alathon: if they damaged the greys YOU are fighting, you can't tell
[21:01] Alathon: okay
[21:01] Alathon: anyways
[21:01] Alathon: moving on
[21:01] Alathon: the claws shatter the forcefield Reis projected, each one tearing through... with no damage dealt to Sheena.

[21:03] Sheena: (....)
[21:03] Sheena: (pwnt)
[21:03] Alathon: The greyface attacking him is rocked back by the plasma bolts, but still standing.
[21:03] Alathon: Sheena is up.
[21:04] Alathon: sitrep: greyface #1 just attacked you again, greyface #2 is semi-nearby but not really close, and there's somethig going on a good ways off to your left/back
[21:05] * Sheena waits
[21:05] Sheena: (hold action for now/reis turn)
[21:05] Sheena: "Thanks for the assist reis"
[21:06] * Reis smiles and nods her head. "It was my pleasure, senpai."

[21:06] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{48}

[21:08] Alathon: roll 1d20+4

[21:10] Alathon: No, and maybe.
[21:10] Alathon: Mani is up
[21:11] * Mani briefly pokes at the shimmering with her sword.
[21:11] Mani: (Solid, yes?)
[21:11] Alathon: Yes
[21:11] Alathon: It's like poking a crystal wall.
[21:11] * Mani attempts to teleport out of it and next to the grey that just downed Ken.

[21:14] Alathon: Sheena and Reis feel something.. aweful.
[21:14] Alathon: It's hard to describe, as if they've lived past lives as Lobsters, they don't remember it.

[21:16] Reis: (I mentioned it last night, I added a nonMagic rank to it)
[21:16] Sheena: *(fuck)
[21:16] Reis: (The rest wasn't done, but I mentioned that addition at least)
[21:17] Alathon: wait a sec
[21:17] Alathon: how did you make that change between session when you were in the middle of a combat zone?
[21:17] Sheena: (sheena dont like being cooked! it ruins her complexion)
[21:17] Reis: (It wasn't a change, I just levelled)
[21:17] Reis: (If you want me to explain how, I dunno how we level anything ELSE either)
[21:19] Alathon: ...
[21:20] Alathon: when did you last mail me a levelled up char sheet?
[21:20] Alathon: because in my mailbox it sure as shit looks like June 11th
[21:20] * Sheena wonders if its hot inhere or just her..
[21:20] Mani: (*checks her CPU temp.)
[21:20] Reis: (I hadn't finished it, but I just told you about that modification last night)
[21:20] Reis: (I was waiting on a ruling from you)
[21:21] Sheena: (speaking of cpu temp.. i just installed a biger fan. much quieter)
[21:21] Sheena: (if you discount the vacuum sound of rushing air)
[21:22] Alathon: If a level up is not mailed ot me it does
[21:22] Alathon: not
[21:22] Alathon: fucking
[21:22] Alathon: count
[21:22] Reis: (Right then, understood)
[21:22] Alathon: and at this poitn, where reis eats 43 damage by dehdration
[21:22] Alathon: I'll be crystal clear on this
[21:23] Alathon: I'm done asking, if I don't have the char sheet a day before the session, it just doesn't count, period
[21:23] Alathon: bullshit administrative tasks should NOT be part of running a game
[21:23] Reis: (Gotcha.)
[21:23] Alathon: if I wanted to be a secretary I'd try to get a paycheck for one
[21:23] Sheena: Woah al
[21:23] Alathon: okay
[21:23] Alathon: lets move on from that rant.
[21:23] Sheena: Calm down? We're the one's whojust got cooked ya know
[21:24] Sheena: (k)
[21:24] Sheena: (fucking d&d bull shit aside, whats the save for that sucker?)
[21:24] Alathon: 23
[21:25] Reis: (Right, so we're fucked)
[21:25] Sheena: (thats why i all ways make a rogue in dd..)
[21:25] Alathon: in the sense that you eat 43 - armor damage
[21:25] Alathon: and it hurts
[21:25] Alathon: I'm pretty sure that's non-fatal for both of you
[21:25] Alathon: oh, and the greyface steams too
[21:25] Alathon: just, not as much
[21:25] Sheena: (not fatal, but thats a big old chunk of hp0
[21:25] Alathon: regular/magical armor counts, CT armor does not
[21:26] Alathon: anyways
[21:26] Alathon: Reis is up
[21:26] Sheena: (im up)
[21:26] Sheena: (or reis)
[21:26] Alathon: ((and I'll discuss after game why this is such a big deal to me))
[21:26] * Reis shudders, poking the rifle into the face of the greyface clinging to her and pulling the trigger.
[21:26] Sheena: (since she's the stuck one)
[21:27] Reis: roll 1d20+9
[21:27] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{23}
[21:27] Sheena: (umm, why not teleport out?)
[21:27] Reis: roll 1d20+4
[21:27] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{6}
[21:27] Alathon: it does not dodge
[21:27] Alathon: ((two 1d10's))

[21:27] Reis: roll 1d10+23
[21:27] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d10+23 --> [ 1d10=9 ]{32}

[21:27] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d10+6 --> [ 1d10=10 ]{16}
[21:27] Mani: (Aside from you putting in a lot of effort to run the game and make sure you can be here for it and not seeming to get much effort from the people benefitting from you running the whole thing?)
[21:27] Mani: (Er... sorry. After the game.)
[21:27] Alathon: You cut it's hair off.. and not in

[Alathon]

Session 46 - part 2

[21:27] Alathon: You cut it's hair off.. and not in the stylish way.
[21:27] * Reis carves the irritating little bastard up.
[21:28] * Sheena tracks the magic back to its sorce and rips lose.
[21:28] Sheena: (that is if its my turn..)
[21:28] Reis: (Oh dear. I'm fucked next turn, I think)
[21:28] Alathon: It's hurting, but not quite dead.
[21:29] Reis: (Very fucked. He can get off a full-round attack from there, can't he?)
[21:29] Mani: (Well, he still has to hold on, doesn't he?)
[21:29] Alathon: While grappling you midair? not exactly
[21:29] Alathon: he can make a full attakc with one hand
[21:29] Alathon: but not with both
[21:29] Reis: (That's some salvation)
[21:29] Reis: (But with my current HP count, still fuckage)
[21:29] Alathon: sheena went earlier in the round
[21:30] Alathon: reis is the last in the batting order
[21:30] Sheena: (wtf)
[21:30] Reis: (No, she saved her action)
[21:30] Sheena: (no i did)
[21:30] Sheena: (didnt)
[21:30] Alathon: hm
[21:30] Alathon: sigh
[21:30] Alathon: you're correct
[21:31] Alathon: Sheena has an action to use before end of round
[21:31] Alathon: I should write an app to handle this
[21:31] Alathon: rather, all of sheena's actions (move/standard) are still available
[21:31] Sheena: (i just finhed getting the new adibo to make us standered sheets)
[21:32] Alathon: sitrep is: #1 on the ground, #2 hanging off Reis, #3 and #4 are out of visual range unless you look around
[21:32] Sheena: (can i shoot at the magic i see? IE the mage that just blasted us)
[21:32] Alathon: the rtf one? it's a d&d sheet, it kinda doesn't fit BESM d20 unfortunately
[21:32] Alathon: if you take a moment to look around, sure
[21:33] Alathon: you'd recognize it via magical sight
[21:33] Sheena: (do i need to roll?)
[21:33] Alathon: or at least, you'd see a figure that looks suspiciously magical off to the left and back
[21:33] Alathon: no
[21:33] Alathon: if you look around, you'll see one obviously magical figure, one with some magic by the tent you just left and ken,a nd the two near you.
[21:34] Sheena: I do so then and shoot at it twice
[21:34] * Sheena aims dark heart at the mage and one hand at Ries
[21:34] Sheena: "Now reis.. Don't move."
[21:34] * Reis doesn't.
[21:34] Sheena: (is the mage 3 or 4?)
[21:35] Sheena: (so i can make targeting easer for ya)
[21:35] Mani: (*waits for the inevitable 1.)
[21:35] Alathon: the mage is #4 ;p
[21:35] Sheena: (And yes i corrected my rolls, 3 times)
[21:36] Sheena: Roll 1d20+12+10+4 #4 Axel shooter
[21:36] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+12+10+4 #4 Axel shooter --> [ 1d20=10 ]{36}
[21:37] Alathon: I don't doubt that you have it right
[21:37] Sheena: -2 to that one as its two targets
[21:37] Alathon: ...
[21:37] Alathon: sigh ;p
[21:37] Sheena: Roll 1d20+7+10+4-2 #4 Axel shooter

[21:39] Alathon: End of round, top of the order.
[21:39] Alathon: Greyface #`1
[21:39] Reis: (Fuuuuck. He survived. Shit)
[21:39] Reis: (Your shield back up, Sheens?)
[21:40] Alathon: Sheena's forcefield regenerates.

[21:40] Sheena: (tho its likly to get ate here)
[21:40] Alathon: Greyface #1 runs off, dodging through tents.
[21:40] Alathon: Ken bleeds.
[21:40] Mani: (Which one is #1?)
[21:41] Alathon: The one that was leaping at Sheena previously
[21:41] Reis: (I won't complain if it saves me from #2)
[21:41] Alathon: Sheena is up.
[21:42] Alathon: Sitrep is... #1 is running away through the tents, #2 is hanging off Sheena, you can't see #3 and #4
[21:42] * Sheena uses a moment to com Sakura about the runner and its path, (movement turn?)
[21:42] Alathon: ((hmmmmm.... honestly
[21:42] Alathon: ((event texting something is a full round action))
[21:43] Alathon: You can choose not to do that if ou want
[21:43] Sheena: (how about speaking?)
[21:43] Sheena: (ok..)
[21:43] Alathon: just whip out a cellphone, even one built for texting...
[21:43] Alathon: or say aloud "Sakura, we need a hand here"
[21:43] Alathon: and that's most of a 6 second round
[21:44] Sheena: (so no..)
[21:44] Alathon: Yeah, that's a no, unless you want to give up your standard (combat) action

[21:51] Sheena: "Ries!"
[21:52] Alathon: Mani, where did you teleport?
[21:52] Sheena: (wait shouldnt thoes be 1d4? and where the hell did the 1d8 modifer come from?)

[22:00] Alathon: Mani and the greyface trade swipes.. the greyfaces sorta hurt Mani, but Mani's swords REALLY hurt the greyface.. and the bright magical detonations below it's skinf inish it off.
[22:00] Reis: (Yeah, but... just... pwn)
[22:00] Sheena: (ewwww)
[22:01] Reis: (Did you upgrade your linked attack?)
[22:01] Sheena: (mani's doing samuri X shit again)
[22:01] Mani: (Nope.)
[22:02] Mani: (Do I need to say my turn is done? :) )
[22:02] Alathon: nope ;p
[22:02] Alathon: The last greyface makes a number of gestures, and vanishes.
[22:02] Alathon: Reis is... bleeding. lose a hp
[22:02] Reis: (Save me Mani!)
[22:02] Sheena: (Do thoes tracking shoots follow him where ever her left?)
[22:03] Mani: (I'll get to you.)
[22:03] Alathon: #2 tries to leap off and evade Sheena's bolts of energies
[22:03] Alathon: roll 1d20+19-4
[22:03] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+19-4 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{28}
[22:03] Alathon: It succeeds
[22:03] Alathon: roll 1d20+19
[22:03] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{39}
[22:03] Alathon: roll 1d20+17
[22:03] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{37}
[22:03] Alathon: ...
[22:03] Alathon: wtf?
[22:03] Sheena: (...)
[22:03] Alathon: ooooooookay
[22:04] Alathon: Sheena's eight bolts of purple-black force streak towards the vanished mage, curve.. and slam into the ground, throwing up clods of dirt.
[22:04] Alathon: End of round
[22:04] Sheena: "You won't get away from me!"
[22:04] Alathon: top of the order
[22:04] Sheena: (umm al)
[22:04] Sheena: (there homeing)
[22:04] Alathon: ((hm?))
[22:04] Mani: (At least those 20s weren't attacks on the downed Reis.)
[22:04] Alathon: *nod*
[22:04] Sheena: (his not out of the woods yet)
[22:04] Alathon: they're gonna come back
[22:05] Sheena: (k)
[22:05] Alathon: roll 1d20+4
[22:05] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{6}
[22:05] Alathon: The greyface that ran off continues running.
[22:05] Alathon: Ken bleeds
[22:05] Alathon: Sheena is up
[22:05] Alathon: There's still a greyface half-riding Reis' unconscious body.
[22:06] Sheena: "XXxxx xxx"
[22:06] * Sheena snaps her fingers
[22:06] Alathon: Another was cut down by mani, and one is off to the left.
[22:06] Sheena: Roll 1d20+12+10 Bind
[22:06] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+12+10 Bind --> [ 1d20=12 ]{34}
[22:06] Alathon: which one?
[22:06] Sheena: The one in reis so it can't dodge my return attack)
[22:07] Sheena: (it is the only one left right?)
[22:07] Alathon: roll 1d20+19
[22:07] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{27}
[22:07] Alathon: it is bound
[22:07] Alathon: Bands of bright magent energy appear around the greyface, then tighten around it.
[22:07] Alathon: roll 1d20+4
[22:07] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{5}
[22:07] Alathon: haha
[22:07] Alathon: It concentrates for a moment, and nothing happens.
[22:08] Alathon: it then tries to force off the bonds
[22:08] Alathon: roll 1d4+5
[22:08] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d4+5 --> [ 1d4=3 ]{8}
[22:08] Sheena: (close)
[22:08] Alathon: ((er.. it's a 8 hp bind, it actually *&#$ing succeeded))
[22:08] Sheena: (no wait it ties ya)
[22:08] Sheena: ( was thinking 2d8 my bad)
[22:08] Alathon: The greyface flexes, tears, and rips the energy bands into nothing.
[22:08] Alathon: #3 is dead
[22:09] Alathon: Mani is up.
[22:09] Alathon: sitrep.. dead greyface at your feet, dying Ken at your feet
[22:09] * Mani attempts to stabilize Ken.
[22:09] Alathon: very hostile greyface off to Your right
[22:09] Alathon: gimme a medic roll
[22:09] Sheena: (the mage dissapered?)
[22:09] Alathon: er yeah
[22:09] Mani: roll 1d20
[22:09] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{18}
[22:09] Alathon: it's no longer visible, but presumably still somewher thereabouts
[22:10] Alathon: You succeed in staunching the worst of Ken's bleeding.
[22:10] Alathon: Stabliized
[22:10] Sheena: (... then sheena would still be able to see and shoot him, Invisibitly magic is sorta pointless against her)
[22:10] Alathon: its not pointless, ujust.. not as effective
[22:10] Sheena: (since ya know.. she can see the magic being used..)
[22:10] Alathon: there are situations where it'd be same diff.. just not most of em
[22:10] Alathon: *nod*
[22:12] Alathon: Mani, fort save
[22:12] Sheena: "Mani!"
[22:12] Alathon: DC 21

[22:13] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{27}
[22:13] Alathon: roll 3d6
[22:13] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3d6 --> [ 3d6=10 ]{10}
[22:13] Alathon: take 10 damage, armor doesn't count
[22:13] Mani: (That wasn't a slay living, was it?)
[22:14] Alathon: finger of death
[22:14] Sheena: (ouch)
[22:14] Alathon: Reis... does not bleed.
[22:14] Mani: (Do I see where it came from?)
[22:14] Sheena: (...)
[22:14] Reis: (I don't?)
[22:14] Sheena: (wait, thats bad isnt it?)
[22:14] Reis: (... Ah yes. I'm outta water in my body or something?)
[22:15] Sheena: (huh?)
[22:15] Reis: (Well, we just got dehydrated)
[22:15] Alathon: just kidding
[22:15] Alathon: Reis does bleed ;p
[22:15] Sheena: (i hate that spell)
[22:15] Alathon: that's a bad joke for the DM to tell
[22:15] Reis: (Damn, mean DM)
[22:16] Alathon: Sheena's bolts of force come around for another pass
[22:16] Alathon: sheena, roll two attacks
[22:16] Alathon: -8
[22:17] Alathon: Actually.. no -8
[22:17] Alathon: we should discuss that after game
[22:17] Sheena: Roll 1d20+12+10+4
[22:17] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+12+10+4 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{31}
[22:17] Alathon: but for now, the 2nd attack on a Homing attack does NOT include penalties for invisibility
[22:17] Sheena: Roll 1d20+7+10+4
[22:17] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+7+10+4 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{27}
[22:17] Alathon: roll 1d20+19
[22:17] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{27}

[22:18] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 6d8+2 --> [ 6d8=32 ]{34}
[22:18] Alathon: Two sets of purple force bolts curve up out of a trench of dirt they've torn up.. one of them slams into something, the other screams off into the air, hitting nothing.
[22:18] Sheena: (does sheens see it impact behind her?)
[22:18] Alathon: nice roll
[22:18] Sheena: (i mean mani)
[22:18] Alathon: Mani would, sheena would not

[22:19] Alathon: roll 1d20+4
[22:19] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{5}
[22:19] Sheena: (wait)
[22:19] Alathon: hmmm?
[22:19] Sheena: (that guy on reis gets blasted)
[22:20] Sheena: (unelss his dead by now)
[22:20] Mani: (What is that roll you keep fumbling, Al? :) )
[22:20] Alathon: dim hop
[22:20] Sheena: (crit fail a run check?)
[22:20] Alathon: they suck at fleeing
[22:20] Sheena: (didnt that guy just expload all over then?)
[22:20] Alathon: sigh one sec
[22:21] Alathon: roll 1d20+19
[22:21] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{33}
[22:21] Alathon: Sheena's last four bolts of energy streak off, swerving between tents.. and to who knows where.
[22:21] Alathon: fromlast round
[22:21] Alathon: end of round now, for real.. and thanks for pointing that out
[22:22] Alathon: Greyface #1 continues .. well.. you don't know what, he's getting out of immediate visual range
[22:22] Alathon: among the tents and humvees and Bradlees and such
[22:22] Alathon: Ken does not bleed, he's stabilized
[22:22] Alathon: Sheena is up
[22:22] Mani: (I can't imagine a greyface being in good shape if it's fumbled like 3 dimension hop rolls. :) )
[22:23] Alathon: there's still one standing over Reis' body, now on the ground.
[22:23] Alathon: the one you bound, and which clawed its way out
[22:24] Sheena: "XXX!"
[22:24] Sheena: Roll 1d20+12+10+4 axel #2
[22:24] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+12+10+4 axel #2 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{35}
[22:24] Alathon: ((Sheena: "America! Fuck yeah!"))
[22:24] Sheena: Roll 1d20+7+10+4 axel #2
[22:24] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+7+10+4 axel #2 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{24}
[22:25] Sheena: (WHATS WITH THESE LOW ASS ROLLS?)
[22:25] Alathon: ((eh, there's nothing wrong with a 9 ;p ))
[22:25] Sheena: (oy..)
[22:25] Alathon: roll 1d20+4
[22:25] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{22}
[22:25] Sheena: (no third shot)
[22:25] Alathon: The one you're attacking vanishes.
[22:25] Alathon: Mani is up.
[22:25] Sheena: (...)
[22:25] Alathon: finally fucking hit a simple dim hop check ;p
[22:26] Alathon: they've been trying to run ever since they figured out they weren't gonna win
[22:26] * Mani runs to the spot where Sheena's shots impacted before and tries to sense something to attack.
[22:26] Alathon: Reis is left without a hostile straddling her
[22:26] Alathon: hmmm
[22:26] Reis: ("Yay!")
[22:26] * Sheena screams in rage and as seems to darken a bit
[22:26] Sheena: (can i alter my shots?)
[22:26] Alathon: Mani, gimme a search check.. +4 for smell
[22:27] Alathon: no
[22:27] Alathon: you shot them off, then it vanished
[22:27] * Mani uses her senses and looks for footprints, too.
[22:27] Sheena: (damn)
[22:27] Alathon: downside of the whole 'stoppable' thing
[22:27] Sheena: (well i still got one shot following that runner)
[22:27] Mani: roll 1d20+8
[22:27] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{9}
[22:27] Alathon: ... no luck
[22:28] Alathon: You smell what you'd expect in a camp of humans; human latrines.
[22:28] * Mani stays on guard and waits.
[22:28] * Mani listens for any sign of it casting a spell or attacking.
[22:29] Mani: (Though I suppose it'll probably just quietly d-hop out.)
[22:29] Alathon: you hear the signs of a spell being cast.. above you.
[22:29] Alathon: not that far, you can hear 'em.
[22:30] Mani: (Can I attack?)
[22:30] Alathon: and a spay of white snowflakes and sleet erupts from a spot above you.
[22:30] Alathon: No.
[22:30] Alathon: its a good thirty feet up in the air.
[22:31] Alathon: roll 15d6
[22:31] Mani: (I can fly, you know. But not that fast to attack this round, huh?)
[22:31] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 15d6 --> [ 15d6=58 ]{58}
[22:31] Alathon: hm
[22:31] Alathon: ... not this round no
[22:31] Alathon: but
[22:31] Alathon: we might wanna discus that after this game
[22:31] Alathon: i.e.
[22:31] Alathon: 'what sort of action does a spot check cost'
[22:31] Alathon: when mid combat
[22:32] Alathon: reflex for half, DC 20
[22:32] Mani: roll 1d20+8
[22:32] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{25}
[22:32] Alathon: I've been operating on the assumption that doing something like searching for someone takes at least a move action
[22:32] Alathon: you avoid the worst of the cone of cold.
[22:32] Alathon: 28 damage.. -16 = 12 ;p
[22:32] Mani: (And that should pinpoint the caster. :) )
[22:32] Alathon: Reis bleeds.
[22:33] Alathon: ... in the sense of, knowing where the cone originated from, yeah
[22:33] Alathon: end of round, top of the order
[22:33] Reis: ("Bleedbleed.")
[22:33] Alathon: roll 1d20+4
[22:33] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{11}
[22:33] Alathon: nothing anyone sees happens
[22:33] Alathon: Ken is stable
[22:33] Alathon: Sheena is up.
[22:33] Sheena: (didnt he explaod from that 1 or get hit yet?)
[22:34] Alathon: hm?
[22:34] Mani: (Don't suppose I hear a puff of air rushing into a suddenly empty spot above me?)
[22:34] Alathon: nothing close to you mani, at least, nothing you perceive
[22:34] Sheena: (he failed a dim hop with a 1, and has one of my shots after him)
[22:34] Alathon: wasn't that shot targeted on #2
[22:34] Alathon: which was clinging to Reis?
[22:34] Alathon: your last attack was #4 #4 #2
[22:34] Alathon: and #2 left last round
[22:35] Sheena: (yes, but you had it case off after one that turn,)
[22:35] Sheena: (insted of hitting him)
[22:35] Alathon: its went nowhere
[22:35] Sheena: (i duno why, but thats the action you listed and followed0
[22:35] Alathon: its target was lost
[22:35] Alathon: bleah
[22:35] Sheena: (this was before it teleported out..)
[22:35] Alathon: I'll try to be more clear
[22:35] Sheena: (im not making it up.. =\ as you didnt give me a following roll)
[22:36] Alathon: sigh
[22:36] * Sheena "XXxxx" Dark heart pops off two shells as sheen target the mage
[22:36] Alathon: I know why
[22:36] Alathon: I just rolled it's dodge
[22:36] Alathon: and used your previous roll
[22:36] Alathon: which it beat easily
[22:36] Sheena: (ok)
[22:37] Alathon: another thing to discuss post session -- how should rolls be alotted to 2nd attacks by homing spec attacks
[22:37] Alathon: .... it's a moot point, the one that was fleeing had 100+ hp anyways
[22:37] Sheena: (one last check, that mage is in the air right? from its cone of cold atttack)
[22:37] Alathon: yes
[22:37] Alathon: and you can reasonably pick it out, by a glow of magic
[22:37] Sheena: roll 1d20+12+10+4 Obsiden buster
[22:37] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+12+10+4 Obsiden buster --> [ 1d20=6 ]{32}
[22:37] Sheena: roll 1d20+7+10+4 Obsiden buster
[22:37] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+7+10+4 Obsiden buster --> [ 1d20=5 ]{26}
[22:38] Alathon: roll 1d20+19
[22:38] Sheena: (WHAT THE FUCK)
[22:38] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{22}
[22:38] Alathon: roll 1d20+17
[22:38] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{21}
[22:38] Alathon: both hit
[22:38] Sheena: (6..5. 4..3? oh come on)
[22:38] Sheena: (the dice is fuckign with us)
[22:38] Sheena: Roll 2#9d8+2
[22:38] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 2#9d8+2 --> [ 9d8=43 ]{45}, [ 9d8=40 ]{42}
[22:39] Alathon: YOu can't really see what happens, but you can sure as hell see your Obsidian Buster tear through the spot that mage was occupying.
[22:40] Alathon: Mani is up
[22:40] Mani: (Body falling or anything like that?)
[22:40] Alathon: YOu saw a huge friggin column of black flame just fly over your head.
[22:40] Alathon: Nothing you can see, no
[22:40] Mani: (No flash of impact or anything either?)
[22:41] Alathon: not really
[22:41] * Mani flies up and tries to find a target.
[22:41] Alathon: nothing seemed to really impede it much... and, reasonably, the attack is so large it'd be hard to identify a single point within it that was blocked
[22:41] Mani: (If I don't find anything, I'll attack at the origin of the cone.)
[22:41] Alathon: gimme a search, +4 for smell.. this is retardedly hard, you have a targe 'somewhere' in midair, after dodging attacks
[22:41] Mani: roll 1d20+8
[22:41] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{25}
[22:42] Alathon: no dice
[22:42] Alathon: go for the attack sagainst point of origin.
[22:42] Mani: (Any bonus for hearing its passage?)
[22:42] Alathon: mmm
[22:42] Alathon: not really
[22:42] Mani: roll 2#1d20+30
[22:42] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{50}, [ 1d20=16 ]{46}
[22:42] Alathon: that's like identifying which wheel is squeeky on a locomotive passing by ;p
[22:42] Alathon: ....
[22:42] Alathon: okay
[22:43] Alathon: I'll give you the cit
[22:43] Alathon: sometimes, y ou just get lucky ;p
[22:43] Alathon: crit
[22:43] Mani: (Mani feels her sword sink into something when she moves it clear after the strike? "What the hell was that?" :) )
[22:43] Alathon: apparently ;p
[22:43] Mani: roll 2d8+8
[22:43] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2d8+8 --> [ 2d8=13 ]{21}
[22:43] Alathon: penetrates
[22:43] Mani: roll 3d8
[22:43] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=8 ]{8}
[22:43] Sheena: (thats one hell of a strong mage, what kinda life that guy got?)
[22:44] Alathon: Your sword cuts into something.. oddly, you can feel your power flowing through the sword, but.. do not see the usual flash of magic.
[22:44] Alathon: the kinda life you get when you have good con
[22:44] Sheena: (bah!)
[22:44] Alathon: roll 1d20+4
[22:44] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{19}
[22:44] Mani: (Well, at least this should help me keep track of him from now on.)
[22:44] Mani: (If he was still on the dimension...)
[22:45] Alathon: Guerilla warfare sucks ass to fight, doesn't it?
[22:45] Alathon: anyways...
[22:45] Alathon: no attacks are pending.
[22:45] Alathon: there's still some gunfire nearby.. a fair bit, actually.
[22:45] Mani: (End of combat?)
[22:45] Alathon: though it tapers off within about 30 seconds.
[22:45] Alathon: Yes
[22:46] Sheena: "Mani! We need help!"
[22:46] * Mani lands and speeds over to Reis.
[22:46] Sheena: "That son of a bitch got away!"
[22:46] Alathon: Reasonably speaking, only Sheena has the speed to reach one of the other fights, and that doesn't seem like what she'd be doing.
[22:46] Sheena: (sheena has 7 normal ep left and 20 back up)
[22:46] Alathon: *nod*
[22:46] Sheena: (she isnt gona to chance it with reis on the line)
[22:47] * Mani tsks as she takes out her crystal.
[22:47] Mani: "Supposed to keep this stuff inside you, Reis."
[22:47] Alathon: Reis chooses not to reply with a witty comeback.
[22:47] * Sheena pulls out her com and contacts Sakura
[22:47] Mani: (She's really bad, yes?)
[22:47] Alathon: Sakura does not immediately respond.
[22:48] Mani: (Reis's health, that is.)
[22:48] Alathon: She will die within ten minutes or less if not aided
[22:48] Alathon: it's immediately apparent that she's been mortally wounded, and is bleeding her life out.
[22:50] * Mani pours magic into the crystal which converts it to healing energy.
[22:50] Mani: (+20 hp)
[22:50] * Reis doesn't move.
[22:51] Mani: "Mmm."
[22:51] * Sheena floats over mani and reis looking worried
[22:51] * Mani sends a smaller burst of magic.
[22:51] Mani: (+10)
[22:51] Sheena: "Sakura? ... dman it"
[22:51] * Mani eyes Reis critically.
[22:51] Alathon: Still no response from Sakura.
[22:52] * Reis coughs slightly, dropping her head to the side and spitting out blood.
[22:52] Sheena: (ooops? heh)
[22:52] Mani: "Are you with us, Reis?"
[22:52] * Reis 's eyes flutter open, and she looks up at Mani and Sheena. "This... is becoming a bad habit of mine, isn't it...?"
[22:52] Mani: "Waking up after severe injuries? No, that's a good habit."
[22:53] Sheena: "Reis!"
[22:53] * Sheena zips down near the pair
[22:53] Sheena: "You idoit!"
[22:53] * Reis smiles weakly at Sheena. "Sorry, senpai... I let him get too close."
[22:53] Mani: "Excuse me if I don't heal you more right now, but I have almost nothing in reserve and I'd rather hold the last of my energy in case it's the difference between life and death for someone."
[22:54] Sheena: "Fuku fuku fuku! Damn it girl i told you about just trusting your reflexs"
[22:54] * Reis nods and waves a hand. "I... should be all right with this, for now."
[22:54] Alathon: The greyface on the ground a few yards from Sheena, Reis, and Mani abruptly loses its head.
[22:54] Mani: "Sheena, it can wait."
[22:55] * Mani gives Reis some water.
[22:55] Alathon: ((er, a few yards back by Ken))
[22:55] Reis: ("Well... I thought I'd be safer with the enemy dead first?" :P)
[22:55] * Sheena still looks a bit worried but isnt yelling any more"
[22:55] * Reis weakly takes the... whatever it's in... and sips slightly, looking up at Sheena. "I'm sorry, senpai..."
[22:56] Mani: (Canteen.)
[22:56] Reis: (Roger that)
[22:56] Alathon: There's a fair amount of noise in the camp now, Riders moving around, searchign for hostiles, calling out when they find slain riders. etc.
[22:56] Alathon: Sakura appears.
[22:56] Alathon: He's visible for a couple moments standing, then sits down aruptly.
[22:57] Alathon: Kuonji: "Sorry I wasn't here, Taichou.. got detained."
[22:57] * Mani sighs at the calls about dead riders.
[22:57] Alathon: Kuonji promptly coughs up some blood.
[22:57] Mani: "Well. Today seems to be a day for tasting our own blood."
[22:57] Alathon: Kuonji spits some of his out.
[22:57] * Mani pauses.
[22:57] Mani: "That *is* your own, right?"
[22:58] Alathon: If you look, his entire abdomen is slick redness.
[22:58] * Sheena is all most growling in anger now
[22:58] * Mani looks.
[22:58] Mani: "Guess it is."
[22:58] Alathon: Kuonji weakly nods.
[22:58] Sheena: "Thoes little shits think they can do this and run..."
[22:58] Alathon: Kuonji: "Fuckers can run.. got two of em good."
[22:58] Alathon: Kuonji: "Just disappeared."
[22:58] Mani: "Good thing you're a fast healer. Let me know if it doesn't heal on its own."
[22:58] * Mani goes over to check on Ken.
[22:58] Alathon: Kuonji coughs some more.. they dont' sound too good, but he gets out of it.
[22:59] Sheena: "We got 4 of em rather well, but they all got out expect one."
[22:59] Alathon: Kuonji: "Yeah.. just gimme a few."
[22:59] Alathon: Ken is unconscious.
[22:59] Alathon: He seems to be stable, breathing shallowly... but he has very, very serious wounds.
[22:59] Alathon: And he looks pale.
[23:00] Mani: (Probably should be healed, huh?)
[23:00] Alathon: I dunno, you tell me ;p
[23:00] Alathon: you can try a medicine roll if you want
[23:00] Mani: roll 1d20
[23:00] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{5}
[23:00] Alathon: just, tell me what you're trying to figure out
[23:00] Alathon: ...
[23:00] Alathon: the answer is, you don't know ;p
[23:01] * Mani heals him for 20 hp.
[23:01] Alathon: he gets a bit of color back.. and at least to your hearing, it sounds like he's breathing deeper, but it's hard to tell.
[23:01] Mani: (Not like I had enough to do a super-heal on anyone who needed one, anyway.)
[23:01] Alathon: Kuonji: "Taichou.. how is he?"
[23:01] Mani: (Wait. Cancel that. I can't heal him.)
[23:02] Mani: (He's already had his max healing for the day.)
[23:02] * Sheena lands near the other mostly unhurt and rather pissed
[23:02] Alathon: *nod*
[23:02] Alathon: good point
[23:02] Alathon: sigh
[23:02] Alathon: that was too big a martini ;p
[23:02] Mani: "Not good. We should get him to the doctors."
[23:03] Alathon: Kuonji walks, slowly, over to him, and looks down.
[23:03] * Reis just lays back on the grass and rests, for now.
[23:03] Alathon: Kuonji: "Asshole.. how am I supposed to kick your ass when you're like this?"
[23:03] Mani: "I'll go see if they have a stretche we can use."
[23:03] * Mani heads over and checks.
[23:03] Alathon: It'll take a couple minutes, the camp is in an uproar, but you'll find one.
[23:04] Alathon: You can get Ken some medical care without incident.
[23:04] * Mani goes to the area where Enigma was to recover the comm.
[23:04] Alathon: Yuuno: "Should we... I dunno.. damn."
[23:04] Mani: (After getting that care without incident.)
[23:04] Alathon: Yuuno: "Even at my best, I can't get him back home. Too many hops."
[23:04] * Mani mentions in passing that she'll be able to heal him more tomorrow.
[23:05] Alathon: Yuuno relaxes a little.
[23:05] Sheena: "Yuuno, think you can find the com Ken's thing had?"
[23:05] Alathon: Yuuno: "Good.. I dunno, I'm no doctor.. but he looks like he'll last the night to me."
[23:05] Sheena: "Most of this will be worthless if we lose that information"
[23:05] Alathon: Yuuno looks over at Sheena.
[23:05] Alathon: Yuuno: "Um.. I could go look personally. I don't have amy spells to just find it."
[23:06] Alathon: Mani, search check, +4 for smell
[23:06] Mani: roll 1d20+8
[23:06] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{11}
[23:06] Sheena: "It was near by when all this started"
[23:06] Sheena: (at lest it shoulda been(
[23:06] Alathon: Yuuno: "You sure? I thought he was keeping Enigma up close to the action?"
[23:06] Sheena: "Oh? well shit)
[23:06] Sheena: ""
[23:07] * Sheena looks around a bit for more magic
[23:07] Alathon: There's a few points of magic on the beheaded corpse of a greyface.
[23:08] * Mani returns with the comm.
[23:09] Mani: "Got it."
[23:10] Mani: "Looks like it's in good shape."
[23:10] Mani: ("But Ken forgot to start it recording.")
[23:10] * Sheena relaxs a bit
[23:10] Sheena: "Ok, lets find a place where you all can get some rest"
[23:10] Alathon: There's no more gunfire nearby at this point..
[23:11] Alathon: the distant thunder of combat canstill be heard off tot he west.
[23:11] Mani: "If there's nothing that demands my immediate attention, I think I should get some sleep."
[23:11] Sheena: "All stand watch long as i can and let the boss know our status"
[23:11] Sheena: *il
[23:11] Alathon: Yuuno: "You need sleep too, Sheena..."
[23:11] Alathon: Yuuno: "Don't forget that. I'll stay up with you and whoever."
[23:11] Mani: "I agree with Yuuno."
[23:11] Mani: "The people who need to recover magical energy need to rest first."
[23:11] * Sheena Dark Heart flashs for a moment and the glow flows into sheena
[23:12] Sheena: "Im good for a while yet"
[23:12] Sheena: (tapped back up)
[23:12] Sheena: "Your more important right now"
[23:12] Sheena: "cides, Im to pissed off to sleep"
[23:12] Alathon: Kuonji, breathing a bit easier now: 'If needed, I will stand guard."
[23:12] Mani: (We know of anyplace to sleep other than the humvee?)
[23:13] Alathon: not really
[23:13] Alathon: the tents were for the wounded
[23:13] Mani: "Let's go to the humvee."
[23:13] Alathon: it's late in the afternoon now, but not night yet.
[23:14] Mani: (Is Reis with us or in a med tent?)
[23:14] * Reis will get up and go with them.
[23:14] Alathon: If she's getting care, it's at one of those tents.
[23:14] Alathon: if you ask to stay with you, it'll be allowed
[23:14] Alathon: there's more tents than there are wounded at this point.
[23:14] Reis: (I presumed I was sitting and lying on the ground :P )
[23:14] Mani: (Up to you, Reis.)
[23:15] * Reis frowns. "I should probably crawl off to the medical tents."
[23:15] Mani: (This is the sort of situation where a rank 5 healer who doesn't use magic to do it would be invaluable.)
[23:15] Alathon: Yuuno: "Why don't we all.. those things seem to be targeting them."
[23:15] Alathon: Yes
[23:15] Alathon: ... practically anything that isn't tied to magic is invaluable after a protracted fight, really
[23:16] Alathon: but healing probably more than anything
[23:16] Mani: (That's why I took regen 1 from the start. :) )
[23:16] Alathon: Yuuno: "Figures.. they want to sneak in, murder, and sneak out.. the more helpless targets they can find, the better."
[23:16] Alathon: Yuuno sounds more irritated than disgusted.
[23:17] Mani: "Yeah..."
[23:17] Sheena: "Hey Sakura, come some things here"
[23:17] * Sheena will point out the points of magic on the left over body
[23:17] Alathon: Kuonji: "Oh?"
[23:17] Sheena: *got
[23:17] Alathon: Kuonji: "Are they safe to handle?"
[23:17] Mani: "Reis, want to go to the tent or sleep with me in the humvee?"
[23:17] Alathon: I choose not to riff off that line
[23:18] Reis: (Thank you)
[23:18] * Reis frowns. "I think I'll be fine in either, Mani-san."
[23:18] Mani: "Come to the humvee, then."
[23:18] * Reis comes to the humvee.
[23:18] Alathon: Yessssss.. embrace the warm, explodey flames of gasoline!
[23:18] * Mani lets Reis arrange herself comfortably.
[23:19] * Reis finds herself a spot and conks out.
[23:19] Alathon: does Kuonji get a response from Sheena?
[23:19] * Sheena Roll 1d20+12 arcane, loot?
[23:19] Mani: "Not a bad example of speed sleeping."
[23:19] Sheena: Roll 1d20+12 arcane, loot?
[23:19] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+12 arcane, loot? --> [ 1d20=18 ]{30}
[23:19] * Sheena looks over the magic
[23:20] Alathon: the first item, a pendant, has some sort of mind-altering magic on it.
[23:20] Alathon: another roll for the next item?
[23:20] Sheena: Roll 1d20+12 arcane, loot
[23:20] Alathon: There's another magical item, a single large gemstone.
[23:20] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+12 arcane, loot --> [ 1d20=2 ]{14}
[23:20] Alathon: It's rather pretty
[23:20] * Mani curls up as a cat by Reis out of plain sight and uses her cat powers to immediately go to sleep.
[23:20] Alathon: On further examination, it seems to be a gem which, on command, can create light.
[23:20] Mani: (Used primarily in jokes about light beers.)
[23:20] Alathon: cat powers? hmm.. I'll allow it ;p
[23:21] Sheena: (is the pendant cursed?)
[23:21] Alathon: it doesn't look to be
[23:21] Alathon: neither does the gem, which seems to have three different settings of 'light'
[23:21] Mani: (Cats can go from 0 to sleep in like 4 seconds. :) )
[23:21] Alathon: Kuonji: "So?"
[23:21] Sheena: "That pendant has some mind magic on it, so dont handle it. The gem seems to have a light effect and is safe"
[23:24] Alathon: Kuonji: "right."
[23:24] Alathon: Kuonji stuffs the gem behind his ear.'
[23:24] Alathon: "What do you want to do about the pendant?"
[23:25] Sheena: "We shouldn't leave it around, and it may be handy for the girls back home to find ways to defend aginst it? I duno"
[23:25] Alathon: Kuonji: "Hm.."
[23:25] Alathon: Kuonji breaks out a pair of kunai, anda baggie.
[23:25] Alathon: He procedes to cut the pendant free of the greyface, and flip it into the baggies with the kunai.
[23:25] Alathon: He then pockets it.
[23:26] Alathon: Kuonji: "Alright. I'll have a quick look around, then settle down for guard duty with you until Mani and Reis are up for it."
[23:26] Alathon: Kuonji: "Sound good?"
[23:28] Sheena: "Ya, We will alter betwen the humvie and the medical tents"
[23:28] Alathon: Kuonji: "Fine by me."
[23:29] Alathon: With no further objection.. afternoon fades into evening, evening into night, and eventually night into dawn.
[23:29] Sheena: "Ill let the boss know whats up, how are you right now?"
[23:29] Alathon: The gunfire from the town never really stops.. but thankfully, there are no further hostile interruptions.
[23:30] Sheena: (Sheena would have sent a message off to usagi about there current status and how the attacks goin so far)
[23:30] Alathon: *nod*
[23:30] Sheena: (a long with checking to see if thye even get anything back yet)
[23:30] Alathon: nothing yet
[23:30] Alathon: anyways
[23:30] Alathon: End here
[23:30] *** Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf.
[23:30] Sheena: yay
[23:30] Sheena: That was a fast and nasty fight
[23:30] *** Sheena is now known as DCG.
[23:31] * Mani yawns and stretches.
[23:31] Alathon: it was nasty for everyone involed.. you, the greyfaces, kuonji, and the riders ;p
[23:31] *** Mani is now known as Yarrow.
[23:32] Alathon: the poor greyfaces weren't counting on serious opposition ;p
[23:32] Alathon: quick in, cut some throats, lay down a fire fireballs, and quick out
[23:32] Yarrow: Glad I had some EP left.
[23:33] Yarrow: Btw, from examing the gray bodies, do they appear to have natural armor?
[23:34] Alathon: Yes
[23:34] Yarrow: That's good to know.
[23:34] Alathon: The single grey that was slain, when you examine it, has skin which is markedly different from the greys you've previously fought
[23:35] Alathon: wonder where Ataru is
[23:36] Alathon: even before he left to visit san fran he hadn't been in IRC much.. kinda wonder if he's got enough going on IRL that he doesn't really wanna be here anymore
[23:36] Yarrow: Maybe he's in transit back home.
[23:36] Alathon: possible
[23:36] Alathon: I guess I figured he's say if he wasn't gonna make it
[23:36] DCG: he normaly does pop in just to tell us that
[23:36] DCG: may have missed it
[23:36] Yarrow: His schedule is all screwed up. May have figured he already gave advance notice.
[23:38] Yarrow: I'm tired. Is there anything significant to be discussed now?
[23:38] Yarrow: Btw, I didn't care for the spells we were hit with tonight. :)
[23:39] Alathon: force cage, horrid wilting, greater invisibility, finger of death, and cone of cold?
[23:39] Alathon: I don't think anyone would care to be hit with those ;p
[23:39] Yarrow: Well, I didn't care much about the cone of cold.
[23:39] Alathon: okay
[23:39] Pale_Wolf: Horrid wilting was pretty horrid.
[23:39] Alathon: going forward, homing attacks get one roll
[23:40] Alathon: this is so a 2nd or 3rd attack thats homing doesn't get a 1st attack BAB on it's 2nd pass when the caster chooses to do some non-combat action
[23:40] Yarrow: You'll add that to the house rules, yes?
[23:40] Alathon: it actually doesn't say one way or another, but yeah
[23:41] Alathon: okay..
[23:41] Alathon: there was something else
[23:41] Yarrow: Consideration?
[23:41] Alathon: oh!
[23:41] Alathon: search/spot in combat
[23:42] Alathon: the answer is, I don't know.. I'll have to look up what D&D 3.5 says, since I'm 90% sure the SRD doesn't say anything about using skills like that mid combat
[23:43] Alathon: it could credibly either be a move action, a standard action, a full round action, or even a free action, depending on the circumstances...
[23:43] Alathon: bleah
[23:43] * Yarrow nods.
[23:43] Alathon: I think there was some third thing I deferred to after session
[23:43] Yarrow: Character sheets and such.
[23:44] Alathon: oh yeah
[23:44] Alathon: and
[23:44] Alathon: smaller thing
[23:44] Alathon: okay, going forward, homing attacks made at a target which is not invisible when it's attacked, will not suffer penalties if the target goes invisible
[23:44] Alathon: if the target is invisible at the time of the attack, they suffer the penalty
[23:45] Alathon: and, regarding character sheets.
[23:45] Alathon: I really cannot keep track of "what you told me yesterday", especially when what you told me yesterday isn't on a char sheet that has a cp cost attached and calculated against the char's available CP
[23:45] Alathon: so
[23:46] Alathon: as I've said before, unless I receive a character sheet 24 hours before start of game, that is monday 9pm EST / 6pm PST, they previous character sheet I have will define what a given character is capable off
[23:46] Pale_Wolf: Gotcha.
[23:47] Alathon: on a slightly different topic
[23:48] Alathon: we did IoP modding fairly informally sof ar. in the future, Please just send me your char sheet with the new IoP
[23:48] Alathon: I already have to keep track of all the NPCs, being able to know exactly what's going on with your characters really helps keep things going smoothly
[23:48] Pale_Wolf: Heh, roger that.
[23:48] Alathon: anyways
[23:48] Alathon: any questions, on that, or anything else?
[23:50] Alathon: DCG is ona taco run, and I'm not hearing anything, so I guess tha's a no ;p
[23:51] Yarrow: Nothing from me.
[23:51] Yarrow: I'll annoy you later if I think of something. :)
[23:52] Alathon: hmm
[23:52] Alathon: what do people expect out of reincarnation?
[23:52] Alathon: an Experience, or just "my character is playable in 1d4 weeks" or what?
[23:52] Yarrow: Um... coming back to life?
[23:52] Alathon: the attribute is really vague, but implies it's not definate/total
[23:52] Yarrow: Well, an experience is always more fun to play than no experience.
[23:53] Alathon: but I wanna know what people want from it
[23:53] Yarrow: Especially if we have to sit out of a number of sessions while dead.
[23:53] Alathon: *nod*
[23:53] Alathon: there is that
[23:54] Alathon: though.. I dunno how a new character could be introduced any sooner than a reincarnated character could be
[23:54] Alathon: I mean.. if there's a situation on hand that precludes waiting, that'd go for picking up a new recruit too
[23:55] Alathon: also.. do people expect there to be an exp cost? the current exp cost for dying has been substantial
[23:55] Alathon: well
[23:56] Alathon: "leaving the party" has been substantial, and by design
[23:56] Yarrow: Who's died?
[23:56] Alathon: nobody ;p
[23:56] Alathon: Strat and RZ came the closest, with characters getting kicked
[23:56] Alathon: essentially using the rules I had in mind for characters dying, i.e.
[23:57] Yarrow: No, the xp cost is already paid by anyone who's bought reinc.
[23:57] Alathon: you drop to the minimum exp for that level
[23:57] Pale_Wolf: And I've had about... geez, HOW many near-death experiences now?
[23:57] Alathon: three
[23:57] Yarrow: Or are you talking about the cost for the new/replacement character?
[23:57] Alathon: hmmm
[23:58] Alathon: reincarnation really, I already know what the rules are for dying
[23:58] Yarrow: Then I'd say no xp cost.
[23:58] Alathon: and that you've already paid CP is a fair point
[23:58] Alathon: game time lost is moot, it's gonna be the same as if the char died in the vast majority of circumstances
[23:58] Alathon: but you've been playing with X CP less
[23:59] Alathon: though, is there a Cp cost associated with being able to continue playing the same char if it dies?
[23:59] Alathon: or is the whole thing a premium for staying where you're at exp wise.. .meh
[23:59] Alathon: ...
[00:00] Yarrow: It seemed clear to me that a character without reinc who died was gone.
[00:00] Alathon: *nod*
[00:00] Alathon: they are
[00:00] Alathon: unless they literally die right in front of Queen Serenity
[00:00] Alathon: or some entity of her calibre willing to ressurect them
[00:00] Yarrow: And having her right in front of you pretty much ensures you're not going to die at that moment.
[00:00] Alathon: you'd like to think that anyways ;p
[00:01] Alathon: I'd think if you were in combat right in front of her, that'd increase your odds
[00:01] Yarrow: Unless you're the one who started it. :)
[00:02] Pale_Wolf: You honestly never know with Usagi.
[00:02] Alathon: of dying, I meant ;p
[00:04] *** Ala-bot has signed off IRC (Quit: ).
[00:05] Yarrow: Xp?
[00:05] Alathon: 3133 exp

Session 47

[18:07] Alathon: alright, let's get started
[18:07] Alathon: yarrow had to stay late at work, so she'll be along whenever the commute's over
[18:07] Alathon: in the mean time.. it's the next day
[18:08] Alathon: it wasn't a very peaceful night, with the sounds of battle echoing from the town of Clinton, but there were no more attacks on the camp
[18:08] Alathon: Ken was quite quiet.. apparently being near-dead spares him the need for nightmares.
[18:08] Alathon: other peoples' nights were as restful, or not restful, as they choose
[18:09] Reis: (Convenient, that...)
[18:09] * Reis had a cat lying on her chest. Aside from breathing troubles, it was as peaceful as can be.
[18:09] Alathon: the humvee's a little smelly from multiple battle-stained people sleeping in it
[18:10] Alathon: nothing much seems to be happening.. Mani is still quite asleep.
[18:10] Kuonji: (er, can I get a little recap?)
[18:10] *** Yarroway is now known as Yarrow.
[18:10] Alathon: or awake, if she wants ;p
[18:10] Alathon: ooooh right
[18:10] *** Yarrow is now known as Mani.
[18:10] Alathon: both weeks, or just last week?
[18:11] Alathon: the log for 3 weeks ago has been up, but I only just put up the log for 2 weeks ago this morning
[18:13] Kuonji: (ah)
[18:13] Kuonji: (I never even think to check the site ^^;;)
[18:13] Alathon: okay
[18:14] Sheena: (short recap is sakura's been a ninja, )
[18:14] Alathon: the team moved into the town.. Kuonji split off to scout, and later to engage a scouting 'angel' of some sort. Short, nasty fight, both of you were injured, it fled.
[18:15] Kuonji: (heh, if my charachter had died while being NPCed, I think I'd be pretty pissed)
[18:15] Alathon: the rest of the team was ambushed by four Evangelist lead squads, had a fight of their own.. Ken was almost killed, Reis and Sheena almost killed themselves doing a combo-attack but pulled it out
[18:15] Alathon: Kuonji picked off a fleeing revenant and some riflemen after that, and came back
[18:15] Kuonji: (since he's gone, why not change almost killed to KIA?)
[18:15] Alathon: the party was pretty beat after that, so they waited for the Rider lines to move up a bit before heading back to camp
[18:15] Alathon: back in camp, Mani healed a number of eyeless and limbless harleyriders, before the party was attacked again
[18:16] Alathon: this time by greyfaces, one of them a powerful mage
[18:16] Mani: (Because I healed him.)
[18:16] Alathon: there's really no need to disappear him particularly quickly
[18:16] Mani: (He was using some strange system called fair die rolls or something.)
[18:16] Alathon: and I'm not gonna fudge the mechanics to make it happen
[18:16] Sheena: (ken kicks ass man, just wait and see)
[18:17] Reis: (Yeah, the guy pwnt a squad on his own. Seriously...)
[18:17] Alathon: in the ambush, ken was cut up very badly, unconscious and dying.. Reis was severely injured as well, and unconscious before healing
[18:17] Alathon: Ken is still out..
[18:17] Mani: (You guys better get Mani something really nice for her birthday. ;) )
[18:18] Alathon: anyways
[18:18] Reis: (We'll find you the highest-quality yarn ball the world has ever seen)
[18:18] Alathon: you all sacked out in the humvee after that, and the night was quiet
[18:19] Mani: (Cashmere.)
[18:19] Mani: (Can we reset ep to max?)
[18:19] Kuonji: (we'll get here some catnip)
[18:19] Alathon: yes
[18:19] Kuonji: (her)
[18:20] Alathon: everyone is healed for their level of hp
[18:20] Alathon: i.e. 15-16
[18:20] Alathon: and has full EP
[18:20] Mani: (or max hp if you have any regen)
[18:20] Kuonji: (heh, am I behind everyone level wise now?)
[18:21] Reis: (Hahahahaah, I've finally reached 'over 20 hp'! :P )
[18:21] * Sheena has a smirk on her face, something interesting must be going on in her head
[18:21] Reis: (Don't think so, Reis at least was newly level 15)
[18:21] Alathon: no, you're still behind sheena/mani and ahead of reis
[18:22] Alathon: ...
[18:23] Alathon: nothing happens
[18:23] Mani: (Do you want us to take action with it being morning now, or do you have more set-up?)
[18:23] Alathon: the sun gets a little higher in the sky
[18:23] Alathon: I'm done
[18:23] Mani: (Ok... Just let us know next time so we know to act. :) )
[18:24] * Reis stirs slightly, opening her eyes but preferring not to move.
[18:24] * Mani looks around to see if there's enough open space in the humvee to turn back into a human without becoming overly friendly with someone.
[18:24] Alathon: not without moving Ken
[18:24] Kuonji: (so who is where exactly?)
[18:25] Mani: (I think Ken's in the med tent.)
[18:26] * Mani stretches.
[18:26] * Kuonji blearily picks his head up and looks around his immediate area
[18:27] Mani: "Hmmmm."
[18:27] Alathon: I don't believe there was any mention of putting him somewhere else...
[18:27] Mani: (I thought there was, with him being at negative hp and all.)
[18:27] Sheena: (I belive they put him in the medical tent, as sheena and sakura spent the next on shift guarding both)
[18:28] Alathon: okay, actually they did, yeah
[18:28] Alathon: found it
[18:28] Alathon: heh
[18:28] Alathon: [23:03] Alathon: Kuonji: "Asshole.. how am I supposed to kick your ass when you're like this?"
[18:29] Mani: (Ooh! Now you do Alathon, Kuonji!)
[18:30] Mani: (So, does that man there's enough room now, or is everyone else sprawled about too much?)
[18:30] Alathon: roll 1d2
[18:31] Mani: ...
[18:31] *** Ala-bot has joined #crystaltokyo.
[18:31] Alathon: roll 1d1
[18:31] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d1 --> [ 1d1=1 ]{1}
[18:31] Alathon: roll 1d21
[18:31] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d21 --> [ 1d21=8 ]{8}
[18:31] Alathon: ...
[18:31] Alathon: roll 1d2
[18:31] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d2 --> [ 1d2=2 ]{2}
[18:31] Alathon: yes
[18:31] Alathon: everyone who's in the humvee is sleeping right-side up
[18:31] Mani: ("d4!" "d6!" "d8!" "d10" "d12!" "d20!" "By your powers combined, I am Ala-bot!")
[18:32] * Mani takes a few moments to groom herself then shifts into human form.
[18:33] * Mani then proceeds to inspect Reis to see how much more healing she needs.
[18:33] * Reis still needs almost two days worth more.
[18:33] Mani: (hp/max?)
[18:34] Reis: (32/105)
[18:34] * Reis blinks and looks up at Mani. "Ah... good morning, Mani-san."
[18:34] Mani: "Hmm. Really got your ass kic--oh, you're awake. Good morning."
[18:34] * Kuonji snickers
[18:34] Kuonji: "Mornin'"
[18:35] * Mani takes out her crystal.
[18:35] * Reis flushes. "Sorry..."
[18:35] Mani: "This might help a little."
[18:35] Mani: "No, no, you did fine."
[18:36] * Mani focuses her energy into it, causing it to bathe Reis in healing energy. (+60 hp)
[18:36] * Reis blinks, smiling. "Thank you, Mani-san... I'm a lot better now."
[18:37] * Kuonji yawns and exits the humvee to stretch a bit
[18:37] * Mani smiles back.
[18:37] Alathon: ((shouldn't that be +50? at rank 5 healing?))
[18:37] * Kuonji cracks his neck "Sleeping like that is pretty uncomfortable."
[18:37] Mani: (Yes. make that 50.)
[18:38] Reis: (Darn)
[18:38] Mani: (*mutters about DMs who don't let you take an extra rank when you feel like it.)
[18:38] Mani: "Good. I'd better check on Ken and then Sheena."
[18:38] * Reis suddenly loses a bit of energy in a blur of temporal paradox.
[18:39] * Reis nods and maneuvers herself out of the humvee. "I'll get out of your way then, Mani-san..."
[18:39] Mani: (Is Sheena here with us?)
[18:39] Sheena: (yes)
[18:40] Mani: "Oh, wait, I'll check out Sheena while I'm here."
[18:40] * Mani checks Sheena's condition.
[18:40] * Sheena spent all of the night some of the dawn playing guard and is rather pooped. But has a odd smile on her face none that less.
[18:40] Mani: (hp?)
[18:40] * Reis keeps an eye out to see how she is, but tries to stay out of Mani's way nonetheless.
[18:41] Sheena: (112-23)
[18:41] Sheena: (just a bit banged up)
[18:41] * Mani gives Sheena a minor dose (+20).
[18:42] Mani: "All right."
[18:42] * Mani gets out and goes to check on Ken.
[18:42] Reis: "Good morning, senpai..."
[18:42] Mani: (Did Sheena even wake up? :) )
[18:43] * Kuonji goes through a routine of stretches to loosen up his muscles
[18:43] Reis: (I'm not sure either... We'll presume Reis only said that if she's actually awake :P )
[18:44] Alathon: Ken is still in a bad way.
[18:44] Alathon: He's beeing looked after, along with a number of injured harleyriders.
[18:44] Mani: (But healable again now?)
[18:44] Alathon: They're largely in good shape, but missing something.
[18:45] Sheena: (like legs(
[18:45] Alathon: and yes
[18:45] * Mani heals him for +50hp.
[18:46] Sheena: "em... Not morning for me it ant"
[18:46] * Sheena covers up with her cloak a bit more.
[18:46] Alathon: Ken is still unconscious, but his wounds look much better.
[18:46] Kuonji: (who's missing what now?)
[18:47] Kuonji: (oh, not a PC... nm)
[18:47] * Reis flushes and lowers her head. "True... I can take a shift tomorrow night, at least..."
[18:47] Mani: ("You look so *cute* when you cover yourself with your +cha cloak!")
[18:47] Kuonji: (heh)
[18:48] Mani: (What was the name of the guy who asked Mani to stay and heal people yesterday?)
[18:49] Alathon: George Dorn
[18:49] * Mani looks around for George.
[18:50] Alathon: he isn't in evidence
[18:51] Mani: (Is someone there who seems to be in charge of the tent for now?)
[18:51] Alathon: Yes
[18:52] * Mani goes up to them and asks where she can get breakfast and find whoever's in charge of the camp.
[18:52] Alathon: The mess tent, everyone can give you directions to.
[18:53] Alathon: you'll be directed to find someone from a particular chapter first, but eventually you can find the commander.
[18:53] Alathon: who is identified as Adjutant Kenneth Sykes.
[18:54] * Mani picks up the rest of the group (that's awake) on the way to the mess tent and then finds Sykes after breakfast.
[18:54] Mani: (Do you want to play out breakfast first?)
[18:55] Alathon: ((nah, nobody seems to have much to say))
[18:55] Kuonji: (Up to you guys)
[18:55] Kuonji: (heh)
[18:55] * Sheena yawns and leans on her staff as she follows Mani, half awake.
[18:56] Alathon: You'll get plenty of food, it's mediocre but filling.
[18:56] * Reis trails after, rubbing a few remaining bruises.
[18:56] Alathon: a lot heaver on meat than the breakfasts you're used to, but quite edible.
[18:56] Alathon: heavier
[18:56] * Mani has no objection to meat.
[18:57] Alathon: You'll find Kenneth's assistant first, who will, after a few minutes wait, usher you in to see him.
[18:57] Kuonji: (/me snickers)
[18:57] Alathon: He's in a large-ish tent filled with folding tables, chairs, and paper.
[18:57] Kuonji: (I'm reminded of a Lords of Acid song...)
[18:57] Alathon: Kenneth looks to be in his late thirties by non-CT standards.. a few grey hairs, but otherwise dark haired.
[18:58] Alathon: Kenneth is a little short, and to the point.
[18:58] Alathon: Kenneth: "What would you like?"
[18:59] Mani: "Good morning. I'm Mani, leader of the Crystal Tokyo observers group. I was asked to remain at the camp to heal the wounded rather than go back into the town and I'd like to coordinate with you the best way the rest of my team can help defend the camp while we're here."
[19:01] * Sheena pushs up her glasses and glars at the man, its far to earler in the morning to put up with some ass
[19:01] Alathon: Kenneth: "Right.. hmm."
[19:01] Alathon: Ken doesn't seem to notice Sheena's irritation.
[19:01] Sheena: (or was that evening?)
[19:01] Alathon: it's morning
[19:02] Alathon: Kenneth: "We've got a perimeter set up, and the odds of the texans making a push through are highly unlikely, given the reports we've got coming in from Clinton.'
[19:02] Alathon: Kenneth: "So.. defense wise, our only real concern is the angels."
[19:02] * Mani nods.
[19:02] Mani: "And their gray friends."
[19:03] Alathon: Kenneth creases his brow a bit at that.
[19:03] Alathon: Kenneth: "Yes... them. Hm."
[19:03] Alathon: Kenneth takes a moment to think something over, before speaking.
[19:04] Alathon: Kenneth: "How much do you know about them? They certainly seem to be in the same sort of league as the angels, but they're the first we've seen that weren't cloaked in a pretty-boy illusion."
[19:05] Sheena: "At lest you know about the illusion"
[19:05] Mani: "Well, the angels we've encountered so far seemed to use their swords as their primary weapons. Some of the grays use their claws whereas others seem to be pretty powerful spellcasters."
[19:05] Mani: "I believe that when a gray does damage with its claws it gets healed somewhat."
[19:05] Alathon: Kenneth: "Hmm... like the Evas?"
[19:06] * Mani thinks.
[19:06] Mani: "I haven't seen enough of the Evas spellcasting to know."
[19:07] Mani: "The grays seem to focus mainly on highly damaging spells."
[19:07] Mani: "One attempted to imprison me in some sort of magical prison."
[19:07] Alathon: Kenneth: "Whereas the Evas tend to mix those up with summonings and healing."
[19:08] Mani: "One of the grays also combined flight and invisibility, which made it difficult to deal with."
[19:08] Mani: "Oh, and when hard pressed, they seem to be able to vanish back to wherever they come from."
[19:08] * Reis frowns. "There was also that barrier wall the one in Carson used, Mani-san."
[19:08] * Sheena grumbles about that
[19:09] Mani: "Mmm... and a deadly cloud of some sort."
[19:09] * Mani thinks.
[19:09] Mani: "I'd be very wary of spells that inflict a lot of damage in a large area."
[19:10] Reis: "There was the 'web' thing he used to pin us down... And senpai, wasn't there something he tried to do to you?"
[19:10] Mani: "Along with ones that incapacitate."
[19:10] Mani: "On the bright side, they don't seem to be nearly as well-armored as Evas."
[19:10] Alathon: Kenneth nods slowly.. then grabs a piece of paper, flips it over, and starts taking notes.
[19:11] Kuonji: "It's also a good idea to be careful withthing they might be carrying... We ran into a rather nasty sword capable of possesing those that touched it."
[19:11] Mani: "They're smart."
[19:11] Kuonji: (with anything)
[19:11] Alathon: Kenneth scowls at the mention of a mind-controlling sword.
[19:12] Alathon: Kenneth: "Hmm.."
[19:12] Alathon: He writes down some more stuff.
[19:12] Mani: "Oh, and we've been decapitating them once they're down to be sure they can't heal themselves."
[19:12] Alathon: Kenneth writes that down too, then looks up.
[19:12] Mani: "We haven't *seen* one recover, but some of us have reason to believe they might be able to."
[19:12] Mani: "We might want to observe the next one we take down to see if there is anything to that."
[19:12] Alathon: Kenneth: "Hmm. This all matches with what else I've gathered.. and with substantially greater detail."
[19:13] Reis: ("We generally killzinated them first. Ya know, just to be sure, eh?")
[19:14] Mani: "And, yes, their jewelry tends to be magical."
[19:14] Sheena: "The bottles they carrie on them as well"
[19:14] Mani: "We have encountered some that are 'cursed'."
[19:14] Alathon: Kenneth: "Hmm.. maybe best to just burn 'em, clothes and all, and be done with it."
[19:15] Alathon: Kenneth: "Now.. for healing, you'll want to speak to.."
[19:15] Mani: "Maybe. Some of their magic items can be very useful, but there is the risk of getting hold of a bad one."
[19:15] Alathon: he fishes around on his desk for a moment, before finding a piece of paper.
[19:16] Alathon: Kenneth: "Hmm? How do you tell the good from the bad?"
[19:16] Mani: "Sheena here, along with some of our people back home, can identify them, given some time."
[19:16] Mani: "We try to avoid physical contact with them until we can figure out what they do."
[19:17] Alathon: Kenneth looks over to Sheena.
[19:18] * Sheena raises an eyebrow
[19:18] Alathon: Kenneth: "Would you mind having a look over a couple corpses.. I believe there's two, other than the one you all got."
[19:18] Sheena: "Sure"
[19:19] Alathon: Kenneth will give you directions to find them, give Mani advice for where to go to find the injured and who's in charge, before coming back to the topic of defense.
[19:19] Mani: (Would that be George, btw?)
[19:19] Alathon: Kenneth: "Defense wise, if you all would be wiilling to sleep in shifts, off to the side-ish of the camp, that might be a good idea."
[19:20] Alathon: Kenneth: "Avoid getting you caught in an opening salvo, if they do decide tow ork things like at KC."
[19:20] Alathon: Nope.
[19:20] Alathon: If you bring up George, you'll learn that he's been rotated to the front.
[19:20] Alathon: he was one of the assistants in charge of that yesterday
[19:21] Sheena: (like kc?)
[19:21] Alathon: Ask if you're curious.
[19:22] Mani: (Sheena asking?)
[19:22] Alathon: Kenneth: "Beyond that, I'm slow to advise.. you know your own tactics better than I do."
[19:22] Alathon: Kenneth: "Though.. I'd suggest not flying around too much.. makes folks twitchy."
[19:23] Sheena: "Like KC?"
[19:24] Alathon: Kenneth looks a little surprised, before his expression hardens.
[19:24] Alathon: Kenneth: "Wasn't long after the whole 'heavenly host' showed up."
[19:24] Alathon: He speaks of the 'host' with both contempt, and a little loathing.
[19:25] Alathon: oh dammit
[19:25] Alathon: meant to say Oklahoma City
[19:25] Alathon: sigh
[19:25] Alathon: OK city
[19:26] Alathon: ((do you want to ask about that, or not?))
[19:26] Sheena: (yes)
[19:26] Kuonji: (wait... weren't we there?)
[19:26] Sheena: (hmm?)
[19:26] Kuonji: (or am I thinking of somewhere else)
[19:26] Alathon: ((you were in Kansas City.. I meant to say Oklahoma City,w hich is now in texan controlled land))
[19:26] Alathon: ((I misspoke))
[19:27] Alathon: Kenneth: "Anyways.. we dug in, figured between the Riders, the militias, and everyone else taking up arms, there was no way they'd dig us out."
[19:27] Alathon: Kenneth, a little bitterly: "Guess they thought the same. The 'host' rained down fire on the entire city for the better part of an hour."
[19:27] Alathon: Kenneth: "Weren't many survivors, Rider or otherwise."
[19:28] * Reis narrows her eyes, frowning.
[19:28] Alathon: Kenneth: "Don't mind saying I'm a little worried about this here push.. we're making an awful large target of ourselves."
[19:29] Alathon: Kenneth: "Can't let 'em have Clinton, but.. massing like this works against us. Damned either way."
[19:30] Mani: "Well, if they try that sort of thing here, we'll see if we can give them something other than making fiery rain to worry about."
[19:31] * Mani frowns.
[19:31] Sheena: "Sounds like a nie big target in the sky to me"
[19:31] Alathon: Kenneth: "If it's something you can handle, damned straight."
[19:32] Alathon: Kenneth: "if it's a few hundred... well. I don't think you'll do us or your folks back home any good as floating ash."
[19:32] * Reis cocks her head, gnawing on her lip. "At the least, we'll provide counter-battery fire."
[19:33] Sheena: "Can i get the details of that attack from you?"
[19:33] Sheena: "Or is that it?"
[19:33] Alathon: Kenneth: "That's really pretty much it. They didn't come close.. they stayed up where only the stormcallers could get at 'em."
[19:34] Alathon: Kenneth: "And from what I've heard, things just happened too fast for them to make a real dent."
[19:35] Alathon: Kenneth: "Not sure what more to say."
[19:36] Sheena: "Hmm, well thanks for what you did say. It should be usefull"
[19:36] Alathon: Kenneth nods.
[19:36] Alathon: Kenneth: "I oughta add, we do all appreciate what you all are doing."
[19:37] Alathon: Kenneth: "An army'd be better, but you've done your share and then some.. especially the bit with the healing."
[19:37] Mani: "We're glad to help. And whenever it doesn't conflict with our mission, we'll do what we can."
[19:39] Alathon: Kenneth nods.
[19:39] Alathon: Kenneth: "Appreciate it. Stay safe."
[19:39] * Mani smiles slightly.
[19:39] Mani: "Safe as we can in this line of work, at any rate."
[19:40] Alathon: Kenneth, grinning: "Right you are."
[19:40] Mani: "You take care, too."
[19:40] Alathon: Kenneth: "Try my best."
[19:40] * Sheena will head off to the bodies after mani is done
[19:41] Mani: "Well, we should let you get back to the fun and exciting work of keeping this camp running."
[19:41] * Reis nods and whispers a well-wishing, then follows the others as they leave.
[19:41] * Mani gives a little bow and leaves.
[19:41] Alathon: They're a mess.. it looks like they suffered a LOT of blunt force trauma, after the bullet wounds that likely took their lives.
[19:42] * Mani checks in with the person she's supposed to see.
[19:43] Alathon: They'll be more than glad to set you up healing the mained.
[19:43] Alathon: maimed, rather
[19:43] Alathon: there's less than there were yesterday, but only by a few.
[19:43] Alathon: it looks like it'll be a good.. two to three days worth of healing to get to them all.
[19:43] Alathon: actually, wait
[19:44] Alathon: factoring in regen
[19:44] Mani: (Assuming no more come in...)
[19:44] Alathon: more like a day and a half
[19:44] Alathon: and yeah, assuming no more come in.
[19:44] Alathon: hmmm
[19:44] Alathon: time to do some random rolling for loot
[19:44] Alathon: one sec
[19:45] Alathon: the first body has two items which glow with magic; a dagger, and a necklace
[19:45] Sheena: ("you find a cursed ring of breast reduction" *sheena hissss at it and back away*)
[19:46] Alathon: the second one has a rod and a ring
[19:46] Alathon: gimme four knowledge, arcane rolls.. +2 per rank of magical genius
[19:47] Sheena: Roll 4#1d20+18
[19:47] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 4#1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{36}, [ 1d20=11 ]{29}, [ 1d20=5 ]{23}, [ 1d20=11 ]{29}
[19:47] Sheena: (1oskill 2int 6mg)
[19:48] Alathon: *nod*
[19:48] Alathon: and, those are all good enough
[19:49] Alathon: the dagger is enchanted to cut more sharply than physically possible
[19:49] Alathon: it's AP+1
[19:50] Mani: (A crystal sword would have been a much better choice on the gray's part. :) )
[19:50] Alathon: the amulet looks to have some sort of anti-scrying ward
[19:50] Kuonji: (ooooh)
[19:50] Kuonji: (would help against those fucking mage ambushes, eh?)
[19:51] Alathon: the rod is a little more complex.. it's obvious that it can create clothes, and something else much bigger.. and feels a bit like Sheena's cloak as well
[19:51] Mani: (If we all huddle *really* close...)
[19:51] Alathon: ((heh))
[19:52] Kuonji: (rod of wonder or something?)
[19:52] Alathon: ((yes))
[19:53] Sheena: (Rod of wonder?)
[19:53] Alathon: the final ring protects the wearer against lightning attacks
[19:53] Mani: (Wonder or splendor?)
[19:53] Mani: (Well, no matter.)
[19:53] Alathon: 10 points of armor vs lightning damage
[19:53] Alathon: points, not ranks ;p
[19:53] Reis: (Awwwww.... You sure? ;) )
[19:53] Kuonji: (splendor)
[19:53] Mani: (meanie.)
[19:53] Kuonji: (wonder would be much more bad ass)
[19:54] Alathon: er
[19:54] Alathon: its' splendor, not wonder
[19:54] Alathon: do you loot em, or not?
[19:54] Sheena: (ahh, darn was hoping it had 100dlayed blast fireballs.
[19:54] * Sheena would indeed
[19:55] Alathon: man, sheena's getting lucky on these treasure rolls.. TWO +cha items now
[19:55] Kuonji: "Safe to touch the stuff?"
[19:57] Alathon: it sure looks it to sheena
[19:57] Sheena: "Ya, this stuff is safe"
[19:57] * Sheena holds up a dagger
[19:57] Alathon: The guards don't seem inclined to dispute your looting 'em.
[19:58] * Reis looks at the stuff, frowning. "What do they do...?"
[19:59] * Kuonji picks up the rod and spins it around
[19:59] Kuonji: "What's this sucker do?
[19:59] Kuonji: "
[19:59] Sheena: "This one seems to have some magic on it to bypass some armor? Usefull to you or is your blade better?"
[19:59] Mani: (*poof* Kuonji is now wearing a dress.)
[20:00] Alathon: Nothing happens when he spins it around.
[20:00] Sheena: "That's rather complex for just looking like ametal stick, So far i can see it makes clothes of kind, there's something else to but im not sure"
[20:00] Kuonji: "Hmm... It'd make a better delivery for my poisons then my kunai, but my shadowblade is better over all."
[20:00] Kuonji: (Shouldn't I have gotten a lot more attractive? :P)
[20:01] Sheena: (but on the dress and you might be to sheena)
[20:01] Alathon: I don't think anyone who likes guys is standing anywhere near you to reflect that ;p
[20:01] Alathon: or does sheena notice?
[20:01] * Sheena hands over the dagger
[20:01] Sheena: (sheena wouldnt say if she did)
[20:01] Kuonji: (Huh, the way you described the cloak made it seem like people would notice a shift)
[20:01] Alathon: Sheena would notice his features becoming a bit more attractice.. even more bish ;p
[20:01] * Reis blinks at the +cha-schock, and averts her eyes for a moment.
[20:02] Sheena: "This amulte here seems to block scanes and search magic"
[20:02] Sheena: "Seems handy unless the boss is looking for us"
[20:02] Sheena: "And this ring effects lighting, but im not going to go test out how much just yet"
[20:03] Sheena: (does the rod use ct designs?)
[20:03] Alathon: Yuuno pipes up, "Hey, I bet Martha could help you with that."
[20:03] Sheena: (would be odd to end up in old world stuff)
[20:03] * Reis blinks. "That's... probably a good one to keep away from the enemies, given the Rider stormcallers..."
[20:03] Sheena: "Ya, i think so to yuuno"
[20:03] Alathon: the rod isn't of any obvious make you recognize
[20:03] Alathon: Yuuno: "... probably why the greyface had it, really."
[20:04] Sheena: "Here let me see that rod back'
[20:04] Kuonji: "Sure"
[20:04] * Kuonji passes it to Sheena
[20:04] Kuonji: (is she wearing her cloak? :P)
[20:04] Sheena: (of corse)
[20:04] Sheena: (its a badass looking cloak,)
[20:05] * Kuonji blinks and blushes before turning his head and attempting to discreetly adjust his pants)
[20:05] Alathon: and yes, sheena is even more fuckable
[20:05] Mani: (At least in their minds.)
[20:05] Alathon: I mean.. she's not even five feet tall, you could practically carry her around doing it.
[20:06] * Reis chokes and discretely makes sure she didn't nosebleed.
[20:06] Kuonji: (she's under five feet? that's a little creepy)
[20:06] Alathon: the guards are talking to each other quietly (both are male))
[20:06] Sheena: (think ranmachan size)
[20:06] Alathon: ((ranma-chan isn't that short except in a few scenes))
[20:06] Kuonji: "Uhhh... Sheena...."
[20:06] Sheena: (well thats how i was trying to base the hight(
[20:06] * Sheena blinks and looks up from her study of the long metal rod.
[20:07] Sheena: "Yo?"
[20:07] Kuonji: "Please, for my sake, pick the cloak or the rod and stick with ONE."
[20:07] * Sheena blinks for a moment
[20:07] Sheena: "Ahh! So thats what the effect is. Duh, I shouldnt have remember that bit from the cloak"
[20:07] * Reis nods helplessly. "Hard to... concentrate."
[20:07] * Sheena waves it off
[20:08] Sheena: "It will pass in a moment
[20:08] Sheena: (you do know Reis still has more char then sheena does now?)
[20:08] Sheena: (whats the rod? +4?)
[20:08] Reis: (Heh)
[20:08] Alathon: ((yes))
[20:08] Kuonji: (Reis has +9? and that disgusting dex and int?)
[20:08] Kuonji: (what the fuck?)
[20:09] Kuonji: (damn twink)
[20:09] Alathon: the rod is +4 to the stat, so it's +2 to the bonus
[20:09] Alathon: anyways
[20:09] Sheena: (Sheen has 24 now)
[20:09] Kuonji: (ah)
[20:09] Alathon: moving on.. I assume you all gather together later?
[20:09] Sheena: "Well lets go check on mani and ken"
[20:10] Reis: (Hey, I only have +6. Just 22)
[20:10] Kuonji: "right."
[20:10] Reis: (And the dex is only disgusting when it's magically boosted? :P )
[20:10] * Reis nods and lines in behind Sheens.
[20:10] Mani: (Hm. You know, so far, this is yet another session where I like Ken better than when he was being player run.)
[20:11] Mani: (Ok, ok... just kidding...)
[20:12] Alathon: you'll find each other without incident
[20:12] Alathon: Mani will be finishing up with her first batch of healing.
[20:13] * Sheena will wait quitly as mani works
[20:13] Mani: "There you go. Try ... not to lose it again."
[20:13] * Mani smiles at her patient.
[20:14] Alathon: She takes the joke remarkably well.
[20:14] Alathon: She drawls, "I'll keep that in mind."
[20:14] Mani: (Well, right after you heal someone from crippling injury *is* the time to tell jokes of that quality.)
[20:14] Alathon: ((btw side note.. I think my video card may be going.. getting screen flickers and such.. so if I log off for like half an hour, that's me replacing my video card.. I'll be back))
[20:15] Mani: (Got it.)
[20:15] Reis: (Righto)
[20:15] Mani: (Nice to have a replacement on hand when that happens. :) )
[20:15] Sheena: (i should be getting my new card tomaro)
[20:18] Sheena: (horrid ping time..)
[20:18] Alathon: anyways
[20:18] Sheena: "How's it going mani?"
[20:19] Mani: "Good. How are things with you?"
[20:20] Kuonji: "She picked up some new toys."
[20:20] Sheena: "Some interesting stuff off the greys,"
[20:21] * Kuonji mummbles something
[20:21] Sheena: "Really makes me wonder where they are from with all the wierd stuff we are finding on them"
[20:21] Mani: (What's he mumbling? :) )
[20:21] Kuonji: (who's got super hearing? :P)
[20:21] Mani: (The one who's asking. :p )
[20:21] Kuonji: (just you?)
[20:22] Mani: (Well, Kuonji does, but I assume he knows what's being said anyway.)
[20:23] Mani: "Well, I need a break."
[20:24] Sheena: "Lets go dig up some lunch?"
[20:24] Kuonji: "Is it lunch time already?"
[20:25] Mani: "I'm not that hunrgy yet, but we should decide where we're going to set up and how to arrange shifts."
[20:25] Mani: (Doubt it. Even healing someone only every 2 minutes would drain Mani in about an hour and a half.)
[20:26] Mani: "Let's head back to the humvee."
[20:26] Sheena: "Ya, if we are going to be on guard duty while you work as a healy we should set up some place insted of stinking up the humvi more"
[20:27] Mani: "That's for sure."
[20:27] * Kuonji nods
[20:27] * Mani starts walking back toward it to give the wounded some peace.
[20:27] * Reis nods fervently, following Mani.
[20:28] * Sheena checks her com as they walk back, still nothing?
[20:29] Alathon: ((well shoot.. I suspect it's my monitor going, not the video card.. if I vanish, well.. probably Not coming back ;p ))
[20:29] * Mani leans against the side of it.
[20:29] Sheena: (hang in there al!)
[20:30] Alathon: Yuuno: "So.. what next?"
[20:30] Sheena: (may a recomand a nice wide screen flat for 300ish? Mine wtfpwns)
[20:30] Reis: (Damn... Good luck!)
[20:30] Alathon: Probably what I'm gonna do.. well, not sure about the widescreen, but maybe
[20:30] Sheena: "Well, i got 'another' report to send the boss"
[20:30] Alathon: Yuuno: "About the last fight?"
[20:30] Sheena: "I wonder if im just pissing her off tho, havent got a single reply yet"
[20:30] Sheena: "yes"
[20:30] Alathon: Yuuno: "Heck if I know."
[20:31] Mani: "Mm. I should send the data we got from Ken's comm, too."
[20:31] Sheena: "Ya"
[20:31] Sheena: "Hell, ill finsh up my other reports are well, that makes hmm like 3 to send now. And 2 i sent before"
[20:31] Mani: "By the way, I'm keeping a little of my energy in reserve when I do healing rounds, just in case trouble comes up."
[20:32] * Mani nods.
[20:32] Alathon: Yuuno: "Good call."
[20:32] Mani: "Remember that I'd like a copy or at least a summary."
[20:32] Sheena: "Sure sure, ill cc em"
[20:32] Mani: "Thanks."
[20:32] * Mani nods to Yuuno.
[20:33] Mani: "Yeah. Would have been stuck in that magical cube if I hadn't kept enough to teleport."
[20:34] Mani: "Ok... Would I be correct in assuming you'd like to get some more sleep now and take your shift tonight, Sheena?"
[20:34] Alathon: Yuuno: "Wish I'd gotten a closer look at that."
[20:34] * Reis blinks. "Good thing you did..."
[20:34] Alathon: Yuuno: "Rang a bell.. but.. I just can't remember."
[20:34] * Reis raises a hand. "I can take a shift tonight as well, Mani-san."
[20:35] Kuonji: "I'll take my shift whenever."
[20:35] Sheena: "Im all ready up mani, Ill be good for a while yet. But some time before my shift tonight would be good"
[20:37] Mani: "Hmmm. Who has nightvision?"
[20:38] * Mani glances at Sakura then Sheena.
[20:38] * Reis frowns. "I'm looking through a new revision to Swordbreaker... I can include it and have that much ready within three hours, Mani-san."
[20:38] Mani: "Anyone?"
[20:38] Mani: "That would be great, Reis."
[20:39] Mani: (Your monitor took out DCG and Ataru, Alathon!)
[20:39] Alathon: ((apparently))
[20:39] Sheena: (sorry was looking it up)
[20:40] Sheena: "I can see magic night or day, Normaly helpfull aginst these guys"
[20:40] Kuonji: "I do."
[20:40] * Mani nods.
[20:40] Mani: "Well, it sounds like we don't necessarily need nightvision from you, Reis."
[20:41] Mani: "Mmmm... I think it'd be best if you and Sheena are on different shifts so we always have someone who specializes in magic up."
[20:41] Mani: "Do you agree or is there a more compelling reason for the two of you to be working together?"
[20:42] * Mani asks both Sheena & Reis.
[20:42] Sheena: "We have been shelding each other latly, and thats worked well'
[20:42] * Reis frowns. "We DO have a number of coordinated techniques."
[20:42] Sheena: "But its not like i wont wake the rest of you up if anything does happen"
[20:42] * Mani nods.
[20:43] Mani: "When we sleep, we should set our comms so they can wake us up quickly if one of the others sends an alert to it."
[20:44] Sheena: "Ya that should work, much better then my idea"
[20:44] * Reis nods. "I'm not that heavy a sleeper... I can get up."
[20:45] Sheena: "Oh right, hey mani."
[20:45] * Sheena pulls out the amulet
[20:45] Sheena: "This seems to block searching and spy magic."
[20:45] Sheena: "Not sure if its just one person or an area,"
[20:45] Sheena: (or am i?)
[20:46] Kuonji: (brb, gotta take a leak)
[20:46] Alathon: ((it's one person))
[20:46] Sheena: (fix that line then
[20:46] Alathon: *nod*
[20:46] Sheena: *It's only good for one, so up to you how ya want it use
[20:47] Mani: "Hmm. Doesn't sound really useful to us unless you found several more, but it could be useful to someone back home."
[20:47] Alathon: Yuuno: "Especially someone else in Espionage."
[20:47] Sheena: "Well.. if sakura behind enime lines, this could help keep him hidden'
[20:47] Alathon: Yuuno: "But.. yeah, actually, you got a point."
[20:47] Sheena: "True"
[20:48] Sheena: "But we have yet to get word back, let alone work out any pick up points"
[20:48] Mani: "Or maybe a senshi."
[20:48] Alathon: Yuuno: "Um.. pickup points? I kinda figured I'd be taking us all back."
[20:48] Mani: "It sounds like it'd be best if Sakura wore it for now."
[20:49] * Reis nods.
[20:49] Kuonji: "Sounds good to me."
[20:49] Mani: "As for the shifts, since we don't want to be going into heavy battle as individuals, I think it'd be better if Sheena and Reis are on different shifts so we have someone who is good with magic, can fly fast, and has a strong ranged attack on each shift."
[20:49] * Sheena hands it over
[20:51] Sheena: "Ok"
[20:51] Kuonji: (oh god, the retards Leno digs up...)
[20:51] * Reis frowns. "Mani-san, I'll need some time to revise Swordbreaker. I'm presently set up for short-range battle, and don't have an excessively high speed."
[20:52] Mani: "Hmm. How long would that take you?"
[20:52] Alathon: how many cp worth of modification are you making?
[20:52] *** Sheena has signed off IRC (Connection reset by peer).
[20:53] *** DCG has joined #crystaltokyo.
[20:53] *** DCG is now known as Sheena.
[20:53] Reis: (Dunno... I think one rank of magic, and possibly some other stuff.)
[20:54] Reis: (Ten hours for the speed alone, a little further for the stuff I'd need to SURVIVE it)
[20:54] Alathon: hm?
[20:54] Alathon: it's 10 hours base per cp... decreased by the modifier from the appropriate Genius
[20:54] Reis: (Aka, the high-atmosphere Adaptation, no need to breathe...)
[20:54] Alathon: mechanical, in this case, since Swordbreaker was mechanical last I heard
[20:55] Reis: (Yeah, I have rank 2 Genius, x4 modifier, so 4 CP modified, a rank of magic, takes 10 hours)
[20:55] Alathon: oohh.. so, five ranks of speed?
[20:55] Alathon: er x4?
[20:55] Reis: (That's the modifier listed under it, if I remember right)
[20:55] Alathon: at rank two, it's 5x
[20:55] Alathon: so, 2 hours per cp
[20:55] Reis: (Ooooh, bonus!)
[20:56] Reis: (Wootness. 8 hours for the speed alone then - presuming a rank of Flight and one of Speed, plus some other stuff)
[20:56] Alathon: and keep in mind, you need to roll for these
[20:56] Reis: (Yeah)
[20:56] Alathon: DC is 10 + 2*IoP rank
[20:56] Alathon: so that's.. uh.. 18 for swordbreaker I think
[20:56] Alathon: pretty easy for you with your electronics rolls ;p
[20:56] Reis: (Heh, yep)
[20:57] Alathon: anyways
[20:57] Alathon: EXACTLY what changes do you want to make?
[20:57] Reis: (And of course, the other stuff like the 'I don't need to breathe' for working up there)
[20:57] Alathon: what are you replacing?
[20:57] Mani: "Keep in mind that we're not sure what sort of encounter we may be facing, so I'd recommend keeping it somewhat balanced between ranged and close if you can."
[20:57] Reis: (PMed my planned total configuration)
[20:57] Sheena: "And keep that neat uniform"
[20:57] * Reis nods. "I think I have a good revision in mind..."
[20:58] * Reis blushes.
[20:58] Mani: "But I leave the details up to you, as you know your own abilities best."
[20:59] Sheena: "I need to do something about thoes shits running off to.. hmm"
[20:59] Sheena: (ever make a call on that burning Al?)
[21:00] Mani: "Are you planning to include nightvision, Reis? If so, I'll put you on the night shift, otherwise it'll be Sheena."
[21:00] Alathon: uh, wha?
[21:00] Alathon: what about burning?
[21:00] Sheena: (guess not(
[21:01] Kuonji: (man, I almost forgot to call my friend to wish him luck for tomorrow)
[21:01] Sheena: (Well it was two weeks ago, but i asked if we could use it)
[21:01] Mani: "Oh, I can see fine at night, too, by the way."
[21:01] Alathon: sure
[21:01] Kuonji: (good thing he's in cali, or I would have felt like a dick)
[21:01] Alathon: and, yeah
[21:01] Alathon: he have a job interview or something?
[21:02] Kuonji: (surgery)
[21:02] Alathon: ahh
[21:02] * Reis frowns. "I probably should include it. But senpai's magical vision is likely more dependable for the invisible enemies."
[21:02] Kuonji: (his third, and hopefully his last)
[21:02] Alathon: anyways
[21:02] Alathon: you all have 8 hours to play with for making item changes today
[21:02] Kuonji: (they're gonna get rid of his colostamy bag too)
[21:02] Alathon: so decide what 4 CP worth of changes you're trying for today, if any
[21:03] Alathon: okay, gimme four knolwedge, electronics + 2*mech genius rolls, reis
[21:03] * Mani waits for a definite answer.
[21:03] Alathon: and yeah, decide so we can move on ;p
[21:03] Reis: roll 4#1d20+18
[21:03] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 4#1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{33}, [ 1d20=20 ]{38}, [ 1d20=11 ]{29}, [ 1d20=18 ]{36}
[21:03] Alathon: what exactly did you swap out for the speed?
[21:04] Mani: (slowness! :) )
[21:04] Reis: "I'll focus on the speed for tonight, Mani-san, if senpai's magic vision is enough for tonight at least."
[21:04] Alathon: or waqit
[21:04] Alathon: you had those 4 IP to spend didn't you
[21:04] Alathon: okay
[21:04] Reis: (No, I spent them)
[21:04] Alathon: now you have two ranks of speed on the base form of Swordbreaker
[21:04] Mani: "That's fine. In that case, I think Sheena and Sakura should take the night shift."
[21:06] * Kuonji nods
[21:06] Sheena: "The way these fights are turning out it may be a bad idea to take after one of them like that again"
[21:07] Mani: "Yeah. Especially if they can pull out when things go bad and we can't."
[21:07] Alathon: Yuuno: "We can, you know.."
[21:07] Mani: "Let's set up our comms for the wake-up code before we forget."
[21:07] Alathon: Yuuno: "Just say the word. And.. get bunched up."
[21:07] Mani: "Only if we're all together, Yuuno."
[21:07] Alathon: He says the second part less than enthusiastically.
[21:08] * Mani takes out her comm and configures it with the others.
[21:08] Mani: (Assuming there isn't a Rider standing 3 feet away. :p )
[21:08] Alathon: You can get some distance easily.
[21:09] Mani: "Anything else we need to work out now, besides finding a location and setting up a tent or something?"
[21:10] * Sheena looks that rod she got over, hmmm
[21:10] Sheena: "Nah, not in a warzone like this
[21:10] Mani: "What's that, Sheena?"
[21:13] Alathon: apparently nothing
[21:13] Kuonji: (heh)
[21:13] Sheena: "Oh, wondering about this rod we got."
[21:13] Mani: (Don't make me use caps!)
[21:14] Mani: "Hm? What do you know about it?"
[21:14] Sheena: "It makes clothes, and something else thats rather big"
[21:14] Sheena: "Has an effect like the cloak as well"
[21:14] Mani: "Makes clothes?"
[21:15] Alathon: Yuuno: "Sounds like a magical sex toy.. makes you pretty, gives you clothes, and 'something else big'..."
[21:15] * Sheena nods at what yuuno says
[21:15] Sheena: "Why im not about to test it out in a warzone"
[21:15] Sheena: "Tho once we get a break.."
[21:15] Alathon: Yuuno: "Yeah, no kidding.. it's not like you don't get enough attention as it is."
[21:15] Mani: "Ooookaaaaay...."
[21:16] * Reis is probably lucky to have been focusing mostly on her plans for Swordbreaker.
[21:16] Sheena: "I have no idea what you talking about"
[21:16] * Kuonji mumbles something again while shaking his head
[21:16] Kuonji: (same thing as last time :P)
[21:16] * Sheena looks around a bit, just how much attention are they getting?
[21:16] Mani: "You might not want to carry both that and the cloak around unless you watn a lot of ... yeah, attention."
[21:16] Mani: "From the men around here."
[21:16] Alathon: You've observed plenty of male attention.. even more than Reis, and that takes some doing.
[21:17] Sheena: "Funny thing is mani, I have experinced a incress in my magic regeneration from the cloak alone. With the rod now?"
[21:17] Alathon: plenty of under-the-breath comments between guys, punctuated by short laughter
[21:17] Sheena: "Hey, Since your healing so much do you want to use it?"
[21:17] Mani: "If it'd help, certainly."
[21:18] Mani: (+cha items and guy magnet. Not a healthy combination. :) )
[21:18] Sheena: (how much would it help?)
[21:18] Mani: "May I see it?"
[21:18] Sheena: "Sure"
[21:18] * Sheena hands it over
[21:18] Mani: (Not at all, but Mani will have to discover that.)
[21:18] Alathon: Sheena is abruptly a bit less attractive to those who find her so.
[21:18] * Mani holds off on accepting it.
[21:19] Alathon: Those who are capable of finding a female humanoid attractive, find Mani moreso.
[21:19] Alathon: ((or.. not))
[21:19] Sheena: "Hmm?"
[21:19] Mani: "Could you guys get between me and anyone else around first?"
[21:19] Alathon: You're in the middle of a camp.
[21:19] Mani: "I don't need any new admirers."
[21:19] Alathon: there are, howerever, tents you could use.
[21:19] Mani: (Humvee on one side. I figured the others could block the other.)
[21:19] Kuonji: (could I try raising a ring of shadow?)
[21:19] Alathon: oh, you're by the humvee? then sure
[21:19] Kuonji: (or a wall?)
[21:19] Sheena: (why wouldnt that help mani recover?)
[21:19] Alathon: and absolutely, kuonji
[21:20] Kuonji: "Hmm... Give me a second..."
[21:20] Alathon: it would only help if it put her charisma bonus above her int bonus, which it wouldn't
[21:20] Mani: (And my wis could keep it from raising my max ep.)
[21:20] Alathon: this will be a fairly tricky feat, raising a ring rather than just an area
[21:20] * Kuonji takes a deep breath
[21:20] Reis: (Hey, take a ten and just 'pull it off' ;) )
[21:21] Kuonji: (I don't think a 14 would cover it)
[21:21] Alathon: his mod isn't that good.. yeah
[21:21] Kuonji: roll 1d20+4
[21:21] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{23}
[21:21] Kuonji: (woo :D)
[21:21] Alathon: You manage it, pretty much exactly as you imagined.
[21:21] Alathon: there are a few shouts of alarm from outside.
[21:21] Alathon: "the hell?"
[21:21] Alathon: "What's going on?"
[21:22] Sheena: "Just testing something"
[21:22] Kuonji: "Perhaps I should have thought that through a little better."
[21:22] Alathon: voice: "Who's in there?!"
[21:22] Kuonji: (can I stick my head through the ring without disrupting it?)
[21:22] * Mani takes the rod.
[21:22] Alathon: Yes
[21:22] Mani: "Drop the shadow, Sakura."
[21:22] Kuonji: "errrr"
[21:22] * Kuonji stares a mani
[21:22] Kuonji: "right."
[21:22] * Kuonji drops it
[21:23] Alathon: YOu see a good two dozen riders, in various states of armament, converging on the location, rather agitated.
[21:23] Alathon: They slow up when they see it's you all.
[21:23] Alathon: There's a mix of relief and annoyment.
[21:23] * Kuonji scratches the back of his nervously "Sorry about that."
[21:23] Alathon: One of the riders at the front: "A little warning next time, please!"
[21:23] Sheena: "We didn't know it worked like that, First time testing."
[21:24] Mani: "Yes, please excuse us. Yes, we should have given you advance notice before trying something that could have such an effect."
[21:24] Mani: (- 1 yes. :) )
[21:24] Alathon: They mutter a bit, and disperse
[21:24] Sheena: (-1?)
[21:25] Mani: (Yes. One two many 'yes'es.)
[21:25] Alathon: anyways
[21:25] Alathon: moving on..
[21:26] Kuonji: (meanwhile Kuonji is thinking of cold showers)
[21:26] Alathon: if people take stations, not much will happen during hte afternoon.
[21:26] Alathon: Mani, do you heal more people as you recharge, or do that tomorrow, or what?
[21:26] Reis: (Poor man... does ANYONE hanging around have a lower-than-20 cha right now?)
[21:26] * Mani tries carrying the rod around for a while before declaring that it doesn't seem to help her.
[21:27] Mani: (Hm. Are new ones coming in?)
[21:27] Sheena: "It don't help huh?"
[21:27] Sheena: "Thats wierd, I wonder why it works for me"
[21:27] Alathon: slowly, yes
[21:27] Alathon: Yuuno: "Maybe it has something to do with your vanity?"
[21:27] Mani: (Will I still be able to get to them all in a day and a half or so?)
[21:28] Alathon: if you don't use your recharge, it'll be more like 3 days
[21:28] * Reis giggles slightly into her hand, thinking it over.
[21:28] Mani: (I'll heal people as I recharge but boost my reserve by 5 ep.)
[21:28] Alathon: *nod*
[21:29] * Sheena takes the rod back if mani's not useing it
[21:29] Mani: "Do you want this back or should someone else hold onto it?"
[21:29] * Kuonji looks rather miserable
[21:29] Sheena: "Eh, so you say yuuno"
[21:29] Mani: (Actually, Mani's cha is average.)
[21:29] Sheena: "I guess ill use it since it does help"
[21:30] Kuonji: (give it to yuuno :P)
[21:30] Kuonji: (suddenly he'll look even more delicious to mani)
[21:30] Sheena: (yuuno's pimp enought as it is)
[21:30] Mani: "All right. If you get too much attention... well, try not to kill anyone."
[21:30] * Mani smiles.
[21:30] Kuonji: (he needs a pimp cane)
[21:30] Mani: (Not possible, Kuonji. ;) )
[21:30] Kuonji: (and a little hat and cape)
[21:30] Kuonji: (purple... and the hat needs a feather)
[21:30] Sheena: "All these big strong men and little old me?"
[21:30] * Sheena grins
[21:31] Sheena: "Right, don't want to give you more to heal"
[21:31] * Reis giggles. "They wouldn't stand a chance."
[21:31] * Kuonji mumbles under his breath, but a little louder then he intended "someone please kill me now"
[21:31] * Mani returns the rod in a spot without people around to see.
[21:32] Sheena: (the first normal women Sakura finds his gona marrie on the spot, and then quite the team and move as far away as posible)
[21:32] Reis: (Heh. 'Normal' in which sense?)
[21:33] Mani: (If we gave Yuuno a hat and a cane, will he start dancing and singing Hello My Baby?)
[21:33] Alathon: anyways.. anything else of import before retiring for the evening?
[21:33] Sheena: (thats a bad tthing to ask sheena considering who/what her girlfriend is)
[21:33] Alathon: He might.
[21:33] * Sheena will take a quick nap before her shift
[21:33] * Kuonji will rest as well
[21:34] Alathon: so, what're the shifts?
[21:34] * Mani heals when she can, plays the harp a bit, eats lunch... Nothing of real import, though.
[21:34] * Reis will focus on getting at least the first bit done in her revision, then take a rest as soon as it's up.
[21:35] Sheena: (i think its sheena and sakura at night)
[21:35] Alathon: ((doesn't have to be one night shift, but that's your call))
[21:36] Mani: (I wonder if any women will cautiously approach Sheena or Reis (or possibly even Mani, though she isn't as charismatic)... after all, they may not have the same prejudice that most of the other Riders have...)
[21:36] Alathon: this could certainly provoke it
[21:36] Alathon: but.. it'd require bucking a lot of cultural prejudice in this case
[21:36] Sheena: (unlikely given the soicalclimet they have)
[21:36] Sheena: (ya)
[21:37] Alathon: sadly, it's a lot more likely they'd just find some personal time, then feel really guilty about it
[21:37] Sheena: (sheena and sakura for half the night?)
[21:37] Mani: (You're kidding. You think that *everyone* their is straight? It doesn't work that way, even if the society has a strong taboo against it. :) )
[21:37] Mani: (there...)
[21:37] Kuonji: (hah, they'll approach Sakura so they only need to feel half guilty)
[21:37] Reis: (I think he means that they'll be conditioned against even propositioning. Just... as he said, 'find some personal time then feel guilty about it')
[21:38] Alathon: nope
[21:38] Alathon: but everyone does their best to act straight
[21:38] Mani: (Well, I imagine they'd carefully sound them out and then possibly approach in private.)
[21:38] Alathon: though you raise a fair point
[21:39] Reis: (Well, there's also the fact that even the ones who aren't straight are going to have the prejudice themselves without a lot of soul-searching)
[21:39] Alathon: outsiders could be viewed as a potentially 'safer' set of people to approach
[21:39] Mani: (And it has the benefit of if things don't work out, they can claim it was a cultural misunderstanding.)
[21:39] Alathon: especially if word got around that they were 'like that'
[21:39] Sheena: (will we break soon? )
[21:39] Alathon: yes
[21:39] Alathon: 10 minute break now
[21:40] Reis: (Oh, is your monitor still kicking?)
[21:40] Sheena: (word got around eh? it might but i dont think from whats hername)
[21:40] Alathon: its still acting funky, but still working
[21:40] Mani: (Good. I think I'll open my bottle of kriek lambic. :) )
[21:41] Alathon: incidentally.. if you bring this up in character and discuss it, it'd certainly be in contrast to the AFS' otherwise healthy society
[21:41] Alathon: though one might ask.. in a society heavily influenced by mind-binders.........
[21:45] * Mani sips her drink.
[21:45] Mani: Mmmm, yummy.
[21:46] Mani: Not something Mani would bring up without reason.
[21:47] Alathon: heh, I've got three buck chuck
[21:47] Alathon: but.. could have a y ummy martini after
[21:48] Alathon: but probably shouldn't if I'm gonna run a fight
[21:48] Mani: What?
[21:48] Mani: Don't hafta run a fight. :)
[21:48] Alathon: Charles Shaw wine.. Trader Joe's house brand
[21:48] Alathon: much better than the price suggests, but certainly not a 'quality' wine
[21:48] Mani: Ah, cheap wine.
[21:48] Alathon: that's the thing
[21:48] Alathon: it doesn't taste like cheap wine
[21:49] Alathon: it tastes likea decent 10-12 dollar bottle
[21:49] * Mani looked it up on wikipedia while you were typing that.
[21:49] Mani: Hm.
[21:50] Alathon: its funny, but.. honestly, it's quite decent
[21:50] Alathon: even according to people with more developed palettes than I..
[21:50] Alathon: an uncle of mine brought a couple bottles to our family get-together at cape cod last year without saying, and my parents rather liked it ;p
[21:51] Alathon: anyways
[21:51] Alathon: we all here?
[21:52] Reis: (Yup)
[21:53] Mani: (Bleh. Almost all of them near me don't carry liquor.)
[21:53] * Mani gets a refill.
[21:53] Alathon: yeah, connecticut is like that.. grocery stores can't sell wine
[21:53] Alathon: or beer
[21:53] Sheena: here
[21:53] Alathon: it's really friggin weird after being out on the west coast for a few years
[21:54] Alathon: alright
[21:54] Alathon: so
[21:54] Alathon: exactly who is on duty for the first half of the night, and who is on duty for the second half of the night
[21:54] Alathon: I'm assuming you're all staying fairly close
[21:54] Sheena: (sorry, tossed toghtre a chille and onion pizza,)
[21:54] Alathon: other than Ken, who is in a medical tent
[21:55] Sheena: (im asuming its sheen and sakura first watch, we alter from the tent to the humvie uneless we got ourself our own tent)
[21:56] Mani: (You two have the whole night.)
[21:56] Alathon: You can get one if you want
[21:57] Sheena: (we should have by now, got a tent that is)
[21:59] Alathon: If you want one, you have it
[21:59] Alathon: shit, you have your own in the humvee you could set up
[21:59] Alathon: so... sheena and sakura are up all night?
[21:59] Alathon: and napping during the afternoon/early evening?
[21:59] Sheena: (seems that way)
[21:59] Mani: (Tent shment. I want a pavilion!)
[21:59] Alathon: you'll get that later ;p;
[22:00] Sheena: (heh..)
[22:00] Sheena: (funny ou should say that0
[22:00] Kuonji: (back)
[22:00] Alathon: dude, 10 minutes, not 20 ;p
[22:00] Alathon: smoke a cig not a cigar ;p
[22:00] Kuonji: (I said I'd rest til my shift)
[22:00] Reis: (Would that be an Environmental Change of some sort? :P )
[22:00] Kuonji: (I smoked 2)
[22:00] Kuonji: (they're american spirits)
[22:00] Kuonji: (take a long ass time to burn)
[22:00] Mani: (I thought you were quitting.)
[22:00] Alathon: ... so naturally, without the ammonia, you need twice as many to get the same fix you get from a marlbory
[22:00] Kuonji: (yeah well, my friend died and I started chain smoking)
[22:00] Alathon: marlboro that is
[22:01] Kuonji: (I'm going to try again though)
[22:01] Alathon: you already succeeded once, you can do it again
[22:01] Alathon: and odds are your friend wouldn't want you puffing on his behalf
[22:01] Mani: (Ah. I knew I didn't have to tell you that you should do that. :) )
[22:01] Alathon: anyways
[22:02] Kuonji: (I know, but it was pretty stressful)
[22:02] Kuonji: (and I was with my friend who also smokes)
[22:02] Alathon: I won't knock you for that
[22:02] Kuonji: (so we were chaining them back to back for a while... I did finally learn how to blow rings)
[22:02] Mani: (Congratulations. You can blow smoke. :) )
[22:02] Kuonji: (but yeah, I know I gotta quit, especially since once I've quit for a month or so I'd like to enroll in capoeira classes)
[22:03] * Sheena hits the alert on her com
[22:03] Sheena: "Hey Sakura somethings up"
[22:03] Reis: (Is that the 'Yo everyone, wake up!' alert?)
[22:03] Sheena: (yes it is)
[22:03] Kuonji: (in MA they can't sell booze after 11pm >_<)
[22:03] Kuonji: ( I wish they'd change that)
[22:03] * Mani is awakened by the shrill sound from her comm and rushes out of the tent.
[22:03] Sheena: (ahem..)
[22:04] * Reis glerks and wakes up, thrashing to pull herself out of her bedroll, though she calms down slightly once she's sure she doesn't hear explosions, and heads out after Mani, drawing Swordbreaker.
[22:04] Kuonji: (was I with Sheena on her watch, or am I with the others?)
[22:04] Alathon: near-ish to sheena, presumably
[22:04] * Reis looks for the others.
[22:04] Alathon: really, you'd get pretty bored without someone to talk to
[22:04] * Sheena lets dark heart form and points the direction to the others
[22:04] * Kuonji looks around
[22:04] Kuonji: "What's up?"
[22:05] Sheena: "We got incoming that way"
[22:05] Kuonji: "Should we alert the riders?"
[22:05] Mani: "Close?"
[22:05] * Reis taps Swordbreaker, and spools up a spell.
[22:05] * Mani looks in that direction.
[22:05] Sheena: "No idea what it is yet, its headed this way slowly"
[22:05] Kuonji: "Actually... want me to head that way and scope out the situation?"
[22:05] Mani: "Yes, but be careful."
[22:06] Alathon: by the time everyone is up and together.. you see who's coming
[22:06] * Kuonji pulls up his ninja mask and activates his invisibility
[22:06] * Kuonji will leap into a tree, if possible
[22:06] Alathon: one heavily armed firgure with an oversized war-maul, and several other slim figures with her
[22:06] Alathon: there are no trees, sorry ;p
[22:06] * Mani energizes her swords.
[22:06] Alathon: but you can leap up on a humvee ;p
[22:06] Kuonji: (ah, Mani's old playmate?)
[22:06] Reis: "... Her. Again."
[22:06] Sheena: "Oh great, Her again?"
[22:06] Kuonji: (ah, damn, keep forgetting were on a fucking plane)
[22:06] * Reis sighs and triggers as many prep-spells as she can.
[22:06] Kuonji: "Oh, it's Mani's playmate."
[22:07] Kuonji: "Or was that chew toy?"
[22:07] Alathon: The woman says something
[22:07] Alathon: WOman: "xxx xxxxxx xxxx xxx, xxxx xxxxx xxxx xxxxxx."
[22:07] Kuonji: "Hey Taichou, we should probably sound the alarm, eh?"
[22:07] Kuonji: (how much of that can I understand?"
[22:07] Mani: "Yes."
[22:07] Alathon: init

[22:09] Alathon: roll 1d20+12 armored woman
[22:09] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+12 armored woman --> [ 1d20=20 ]{32}
[22:09] * Reis spreads her illusionary selves out, and taps Swordbreaker. "Try this... CQC Mode, Bandenritter."
[22:09] Sheena: (YOU BITCH)
[22:09] Alathon: ((hahahahhaahhahahahahaha))
[22:09] Reis: (Hey, I don't mind her spending her DR on that...)
[22:09] Alathon: ((wasn't sure if it was worth it on an init roll. but yeah. it was so worth it))
[22:09] * Mani activates her CT armor.
[22:09] Kuonji: (oh you fucker)
[22:09] Sheena: Roll 1d20+6
[22:09] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{13}

[22:10] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+9 greyface #3 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{26}
[22:10] Reis: Swordbreaker shortens into something more like a dagger as Reis's 'fuku' forms around her (as described last session), and she moves up to support Sheena.
[22:10] Alathon: roll 1d20+6 ???
[22:10] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+6 ??? --> [ 1d20=2 ]{8}
[22:11] Kuonji: "Reis... Do us a favor and light 'em up"
[22:11] Mani: (If this is the middle of the night, should I assume I have full ep?)
[22:11] Sheena: (there is only 4 of us.. being over powered is bad enought,)
[22:11] Kuonji: "No buildings to knock down here..."
[22:12] Alathon: by now, you'd have full ep
[22:12] * Reis nods. "Affirmative, Sakura-san."
[22:12] Alathon: enough hours passed
[22:12] * Mani shouts, "Attackers on the xxxx side!"
[22:12] Reis: (Me, I'm happy. I got all my pre-battle prep done ^_^ )
[22:15] * Reis maneuvers her 'dagger' swordbreaker and works to launch an attack, but given her init roll, won't be tossing it off before the others get into it.
[22:15] Alathon: sorry for the delay, just prepping the scoreboard
[22:15] Kuonji: (already used your two spells?)
[22:16] Reis: (Neither was actually a spell. An alt form shift and setting up projections)
[22:16] Mani: (It's ok. I'm just sitting, waiting to get pounded.)
[22:16] Reis: (If either one of those is a free or move action though, I can certainly toss off a bit more pain ;) )
[22:16] Kuonji: (One would think you'd be in a different position for that"
[22:16] Kuonji: )
[22:17] Alathon: Fight order: Armored woman, Mani, Greyface #1, Greyface #2, Greyface #3 (ordered for ease), Reis, Kuonji, sheena, ???
[22:17] Reis: (Is mister triple-question-mark the guy in full armour from last time we fought chainmail-chan?)
[22:17] Alathon: You won't know until you see ???
[22:18] Reis: (Oh, not in range yet? Gotcha)
[22:18] Alathon: that's what makes it a ??? ;p
[22:18] Alathon: anyways
[22:18] Kuonji: (3rd to last? uggg)
[22:18] Reis: (This bodes ill, I'm beginning to think...)
[22:19] Alathon: the armored woman sprints forward, leaps,a nd brings her hammer down on Mani.
[22:19] Alathon: roll 1d20+30
[22:19] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{32}

[22:19] Alathon: ((wow, what a shitty roll))
[22:19] Mani: roll 1d20+5
[22:19] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{14}
[22:19] Reis: (What's really scary is that if I remember Mani's bonus right... yeah, she'll hit anyway)
[22:19] Alathon: roll 3d6+42
[22:19] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3d6+42 --> [ 3d6=16 ]{58}
[22:20] Alathon: She brings the hammer down with tremendous force on Mani. Doesn't look fun.
[22:20] Alathon: ((no AP))
[22:20] Mani: (Does she have the same armor she did last time?)
[22:20] Alathon: Yes.. plate in some spots, chain in others
[22:20] Kuonji: (looks like I'm gonna need to drain some con)
[22:20] Alathon: Mani is up
[22:20] * Mani aims for the chain.
[22:20] Mani: (-4?)
[22:20] Alathon: yeah
[22:21] Mani: roll 2#1d20+30-4
[22:21] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#1d20+3

[22:22] Alathon: yes
[22:22] Sheena: (ok dice rape, Not what i need for a good rp night)
[22:22] Alathon: Okay.. Mani goes to tear into the woman, just as she's bringing her hammer across in a heavy parry. Mani loses both her swords.

[22:27] Alathon: roll 1d8
[22:27] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d8 --> [ 1d8=6 ]{6}
[22:27] Sheena: (out power, out numbered, and dice rape? >_<)
[22:27] Reis: (We MIGHT be able to manage this. Depends...)
[22:27] Alathon: 21 total damage on mani
[22:28] Alathon: Reis is up
[22:28] Alathon: yeesh, don't be so defeatest.. you're in the middle of a camp of allies ;p
[22:28] Sheena: "One at a time reis, none of them get to leave this time"
[22:28] Mani: (Don't worry. Those of us with teleport have a good chance of surviving. ;) )
[22:29] * Reis frowns and turns to the hammer-woman, aiming with the dagger. "Stop coming after us. Alt Forst."
[22:29] Mani: (Pervert.)
[22:29] Reis: roll 1d20+28
[22:29] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{32}
[22:29] Alathon: roll 1d20+22
[22:29] Kuonji: (heh)
[22:29] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+22 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{31}
[22:29] Alathon: DR
[22:29] Kuonji: (hehehehe)
[22:29] Alathon: roll 1d20+22
[22:29] Reis: (... I'm gonna save the DR. And, woot!)
[22:29] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+22 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{42}
[22:29] Reis: (Haaaaaaaaah? ;_; )
[22:29] Kuonji: (wtf)
[22:29] Kuonji: (al hax!)
[22:30] Reis: (I just... but I... ;_; )
[22:30] Alathon: you're telling me you wouldn't burn DR to evade that?
[22:30] Kuonji: (that bot is fucking rigged)
[22:30] Reis: (Well, I sure would, but I wanted my badassery ;_; )
[22:30] Alathon: Roots reach up out of the ground, and grasp the woman in armor, before she slithers free at the last moment.
[22:30] Alathon: Kuonji is up.
[22:31] Alathon: Woman: "xxx xxxx xxxxx!"
[22:31] Kuonji: (so, what kind of roll would I need to force feed her an entire vial of poison and break it in her throat? -_-)
[22:31] Alathon: uh.. that's not happening ;p
[22:31] Alathon: she's got a helm on ;p
[22:32] Mani: (Well, first you'd need to remove her armor...)
[22:32] Kuonji: (even if she gets bound?)
[22:32] Mani: (Then you could try to remove the helm. :) )
[22:32] Reis: (Would I be able to do a disarm check to smash the helmet off her face? ;) )
[22:32] Alathon: ... no ;p
[22:32] Reis: (Worth a try...)
[22:32] Alathon: that's more something you could do while grappling
[22:32] Kuonji: (hang on... shit)
[22:33] Reis: (Ah well, I'll pin her, then you snag it. Might wanna focus on the peeps around you, though.)
[22:33] Alathon: yeah, teleporting to avoid full round attacks is a good strategy
[22:33] * Kuonji leaps straight up and comes down hard on one of his attackers
[22:33] Alathon: you can't leap attack them
[22:33] Alathon: you're after them in the init order
[22:33] Kuonji: (I can't?)
[22:33] Kuonji: (you can only leap attack the people you're before? I did not know that)
[22:34] Mani: (Yep.)
[22:34] Alathon: bad time to find that out, but, yes
[22:34] Reis: (Heh, Rocko's been smacked with that many many times :P )
[22:34] * Kuonji teleports behind the guy behind mani
[22:34] Kuonji: (er do I get one attack or two?)
[22:35] Alathon: one when teleporting, that's a move action
[22:35] Alathon: but you get the sneak attack
[22:35] Alathon: and it'll be dodging flat-footed
[22:35] Kuonji: (damn... so what's teleport when it's a spell, full action?)
[22:35] Kuonji: roll 1d20+18
[22:35] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{23}
[22:35] Alathon: yes
[22:35] Kuonji: (fuck me)
[22:35] Alathon: or rather, a spell is a standard action
[22:36] Alathon: roll 1d20+14 dodge
[22:36] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+14 dodge --> [ 1d20=9 ]{23}
[22:36] Alathon: ...
[22:36] Alathon: it evades, barely
[22:36] Kuonji: (T_T)
[22:36] Alathon: sigh
[22:36] Alathon: Sheena is up
[22:36] Mani: (That was flatfooted, too?)
[22:36] Alathon: yeah
[22:36] Alathon: it's normally +19 on first dodge
[22:36] Alathon: things are lookin' shady for the Aqua Teens
[22:36] Alathon: btw ffs
[22:36] Alathon: FLY UP
[22:36] Kuonji: (do I get 1hp or is that the next round? T_T)
[22:36] Alathon: at the end of the round
[22:36] Kuonji: (I can't fly)
[22:37] Alathon: I meant sheena/reis
[22:37] * Sheena is covered in a flash of magic as her fuku is formed and dark heart shifts to warmode
[22:37] Reis: (Definitely gonna consider it :P )
[22:37] Alathon: Sheena's transformation is just in time
[22:37] Alathon: roll 1d20+24
[22:37] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+24 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{36}
[22:37] Alathon: roll 1d20+19
[22:37] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{36}
[22:37] Alathon: roll 1d20+14
[22:37] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{26}
[22:38] Alathon: as three bright orange balls of flame streak out of the sky towards her
[22:38] Kuonji: (I have the horrible feeling this will bbe the end of the campaign)
[22:38] * Sheena looks up at the magic and just raises an eyebrow
[22:38] Kuonji: (or at least, these charachters... looks like Usagi's gonna need to do some recruiting)
[22:38] Alathon: the first two slam into the forcefield
[22:38] Alathon: roll 3d8+8
[22:38] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3d8+8 --> [ 3d8=12 ]{20}
[22:38] Alathon: roll 3d8+8
[22:38] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3d8+8 --> [ 3d8=15 ]{23}
[22:38] Alathon: knocking down both layers
[22:38] Alathon: you only need to dodge the 3rd
[22:39] Alathon: that was reis' forcefield btw
[22:39] Sheena: (hmm, can't reflect after useing the fuku can i..)
[22:39] * Reis smiles and turns to take a look at what just attacked.
[22:39] Alathon: no
[22:40] Alathon: You can't tell in the darkness, though with your improved vision, you can pick out a figure up in the air blocking the starlight.
[22:40] Sheena: Roll 1d20+10
[22:40] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{20}
[22:40] Alathon: nope
[22:40] Alathon: roll 3d8+8
[22:40] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3d8+8 --> [ 3d8=19 ]{27}
[22:40] * Sheena fails at side steping and takes it
[22:40] Alathon: the last bolt of energy slams into Sheena's forcefield and shatters it
[22:41] Alathon: ((you're in war mode right? or not?))
[22:41] Sheena: (yes)
[22:41] Alathon: end of round, top of the order
[22:41] Alathon: those with regen, gain a hp
[22:41] Alathon: the armored woman takes a full set of swings at Mani
[22:41] Alathon: roll 1d20+30
[22:41] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{46}
[22:41] Alathon: roll 1d20+25
[22:41] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{36}
[22:41] Alathon: roll 1d20+20
[22:41] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+20 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{21}
[22:41] Alathon: her third is .. unfortunate
[22:42] Mani: roll 1d20+5
[22:42] Alathon: dodge the first two though ;p
[22:42] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{17}
[22:42] Mani: roll 1d20+3
[22:42] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{23}
[22:42] Alathon: haha
[22:42] Sheena: (is there any one we fight that dont out level us? heh)
[22:42] Alathon: nice
[22:42] Alathon: you wouldn't be heros if you fought mooks
[22:42] Alathon: roll 3d6+30
[22:42] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 3d6+30 --> [ 3d6=14 ]{44}
[22:42] Reis: (Sure... we can slaughter a nice army of mooks. I wouldn't mind!)
[22:42] Mani: (You want to start earning 200 xp per session? :p )
[22:42] Reis: (Glark. Me dun wanna fights her)
[22:42] Alathon: Her first swing connects solidly on Mani.. unfotunately, it connects solidly enough to move mani out of her second swing's math.
[22:43] Alathon: Her third swing is a desperate attempt to correct, and sh e loses her grip on her warhammer.
[22:43] Sheena: (Sheena wants a change to spend all the crid then suposedly have earned so far)
[22:43] Alathon: it knocks over a tent.
[22:43] Mani: (And a humvee...)
[22:43] Alathon: Mani is up.
[22:43] Mani: (And another thent...)
[22:43] Reis: (They're both disarmed now! :P )
[22:43] Alathon: heh
[22:43] Sheena: "xxxx xxxx xxxx!"
[22:43] Alathon: it wasn't that kinda botch.. it just sorta wobbled from her fingers.
[22:43] * Reis really rather does wish she knew what everyone was talking about.
[22:44] * Mani streaks over to her swords and grabs them.
[22:44] Alathon: You succeed.
[22:44] Alathon: nobody's really in range to attakc normally, though you could crystle shoot someone, I suppose
[22:44] Mani: (They're exchanging witty and vicious barbs. "You eat boogers!!" "No, you do! You do!")
[22:44] Alathon: The woman is already moving for her lost weapon, and shouts over her shoulder: "xxx xxx xxxxx xxxxx xxx!"
[22:44] * Mani heals herself for 50 hp.
[22:45] Alathon: even better choice
[22:46] Mani: (Used up all my actions. next.)
[22:46] Alathon: Greyface #1 runs straight at Reis.. one of the reises, anyways. Unfortunately, it's the right reis.
[22:46] Alathon: roll 2#1d20+28
[22:46] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{37}, [ 1d20=15 ]{43}
[22:46] * Reis frowns and moves to evade.
[22:47] Reis: (Which dodge? Ranged given the lead-up time, or unarmed/melee?)
[22:47] Sheena: (thats with the -4-6 pently for two hand attacks?)
[22:48] Reis: roll 1d20+2+12
[22:48] Reis: roll 1d20+2+10
[22:48] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+2+12 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{34}
[22:48] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+2+10 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{27}
[22:48] Reis: (This is presuming Ranged works. If not, subtract it to +2 and +0 respectively)
[22:48] Alathon: melee range
[22:48] Reis: (Either way, no dodge)
[22:48] Alathon: roll 2#2d4+5 AP +1
[22:48] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#2d4+5 AP +1 --> [ 2d4=7 ]{12}, [ 2d4=4 ]{9}
[22:48] Reis: (Oh, I critted one, cool)
[22:48] Alathon: nice
[22:49] Alathon: you dodge the first clawswip
[22:49] Alathon: the second one barely pentrates your new armor, but stings like heck
[22:49] Alathon: roll 1d8
[22:49] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d8 --> [ 1d8=2 ]{2}
[22:49] Alathon: 4 total damage ;p
[22:49] Alathon: oh wait
[22:49] * Reis actually manages to interpose her dagger-swordbreaker between herself and the right hand block.
[22:49] Kuonji: (... make me some of that armor please)
[22:49] Alathon: 8 total damage ;p
[22:49] Reis: (Total of 16 armour. So, 5 damage.)
[22:49] Alathon: greyface #2 ports over to Kuonji again, and attacks
[22:49] Sheena: (you want a fuku? Well.. we got the ring you know)
[22:49] Reis: (Unless the 12 was the one that hit)
[22:49] Alathon: roll 2#1d20+28
[22:50] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{32}, [ 1d20=14 ]{42}
[22:50] Alathon: the 12 was
[22:50] Alathon: since it was only one attack, the 2nd one was non-existant
[22:50] Reis: (Bah humbug :P )
[22:50] Kuonji: roll 1d20+15
[22:50] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{18}
[22:50] Kuonji: roll 1d20+13
[22:50] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{27}
[22:50] Alathon: roll 2#2d4+5 AP +1
[22:50] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#2d4+5 AP +1 --> [ 2d4=5 ]{10}, [ 2d4=8 ]{13}
[22:50] Sheena: "Get some air reis, Mani and sakura can handle these things"
[22:50] Alathon: roll 2#1d8
[22:50] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d8 --> [ 1d8=7 ]{7}, [ 1d8=4 ]{4}
[22:51] Alathon: 34 total damage
[22:51] Kuonji: (oh shit)
[22:51] Alathon: greyface #3 goes for Sheena
[22:51] Kuonji: (two more attacks and I'm dead)
[22:51] * Reis nods. "Working on it now, senpai!"
[22:51] Alathon: ((you can't seriously have that little hp))
[22:51] Alathon: ((you've taken like.. 80 total))
[22:52] Alathon: ((oh.. yeah actually, I guess two more could do you))
[22:52] Alathon: ((unconscious, not dead, though))
[22:52] Alathon: roll 2#1d20+28
[22:52] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{42}, [ 1d20=1 ]{29}
[22:52] Alathon: haha
[22:52] Reis: (It's a border I know well ;) )
[22:52] Alathon: still, dodge one
[22:52] Reis: (... Hah? Does it rip its own claw off?)
[22:53] Mani: (Any sign of help from the Riders yet?)
[22:53] Alathon: there's noise, and people getting up
[22:53] Alathon: you can reasonably assume there will be help Real Soon Now
[22:53] * Sheena dont even bother to dodge a 42, the DM is its clearly nuts
[22:53] Alathon: what, you skip your 5% chance at a crit? okay ;p
[22:53] Alathon: roll 2d4+5 AP +1
[22:53] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2d4+5 AP +1 --> [ 2d4=4 ]{9}
[22:53] Alathon: roll 1d8
[22:53] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d8 --> [ 1d8=7 ]{7}
[22:54] Alathon: doesn't penetrate far, but stings
[22:54] Sheena: (nothing and nothing)
[22:54] Alathon: hm?
[22:54] Alathon: you have 16 armor, right?
[22:54] Reis: (Spanged off your FF?)
[22:54] Alathon: your FF is down
[22:54] Sheena: (im sitting with 5 ranks of armor on)
[22:54] Reis: (Glarkle?)
[22:54] Reis: (Woweee)
[22:54] Sheena: (ahh ok 16 so i guess it strings0
[22:54] Alathon: uh
[22:54] Alathon: wait a sec
[22:55] Alathon: hm
[22:55] Alathon: three, plus 1, plus CT armor
[22:55] Alathon: you're right
[22:55] Alathon: it doesn't penetrate
[22:55] Alathon: Reis is up
[22:56] Alathon: it's other attack whiffs hard, and it falls off balance, and lands on it's face.
[22:56] * Reis rises into the air alongside Sheena, and takes her second shot at chainmail-chan.
[22:56] Reis: roll 1d20+28
[22:56] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{42}
[22:56] Alathon: roll 1d20+22
[22:56] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+22 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{27}
[22:56] Reis: (Heheheheh. She'll almost need a crit to dodge THIS, baby!)
[22:56] Reis: (And have I tapped out her DR?)
[22:56] Alathon: She's bound in roots. Again.
[22:57] Alathon: This time she doesn't get out.
[22:57] Alathon: Woman: "XXXXXXXXXX XX XX XXXXXXXX X XX XXXXXXXXXXX XX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX!"
[22:57] * Reis flips her the finger and turns to the next one.
[22:57] Alathon: Kuonji is up
[22:57] * Sheena laughts hard and sligly crazed as she brings dark heart around
[22:57] Kuonji: (fuck)
[22:58] Kuonji: (hang on arrggg)
[22:58] Reis: "Out of curiousity senpai, did she say anything particularly interesting? Some of that was... impassioned."
[22:58] Sheena: "Couldn't say, that not quite what i studied"
[22:58] Kuonji: (anyone in range of me standing still?)
[22:58] Mani: (The ones that attacked you?)
[22:59] Sheena: (that guy you backstabed? oir the one that cut you up?)
[22:59] Reis: (Hey, you can take your attack, THEN teleport away ;) )
[22:59] Alathon: the one that just attacked you is right next to you
[22:59] Reis: "Oh... That's a pity."
[23:01] Reis: (... Ya know, this'd be a great time for Yuuno to take mister all-but-dead into a pocket dimension)
[23:01] Sheena: "Wana see me make the one in the sky dance?"
[23:01] Reis: "Always. Though perhaps our friends on the ground would appreciate a bit of fire support too."
[23:02] Reis: "I'll follow your lead."
[23:03] Alathon: act or forfeit your turn.
[23:04] * Kuonji teleports behind one of the grey faces and attacks
[23:04] Kuonji: (err strike that)
[23:04] Kuonji: (I teleport behind the bound bitch)
[23:04] Alathon: ((and seriously. decide what you're going to do in the 5-10 minutes when it's not your turn))
[23:04] Alathon: ((okay))
[23:04] Kuonji: roll 1d20+15
[23:04] Reis: (Yank her helmet off, I wanna see her face :P )
[23:04] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+15 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{21}
[23:04] Kuonji: (I asked if I could, and I can't)
[23:04] Reis: (Plus it makes her much more killable)
[23:04] Reis: (In-combat you can't)
[23:05] Reis: (She's bound now though.)
[23:05] Mani: (You couldn't when she wasn't bound.)
[23:05] Kuonji: (no, I can't)
[23:05] Kuonji: (I JUST asked)
[23:05] Sheena: (Great, now i can't nuke the area)
[23:05] Alathon: ((it's non-trivial.. it could, possibly, be done, but it'd be a bitch))
[23:05] Reis: (I thought Al was responding to my 'shoot it off her face' thing)
[23:05] Alathon: ((if you nuked the area it'd burn away the bind ;p ))
[23:05] Sheena: (oh would it?)
[23:05] Reis: (Would it be a standard action?)
[23:05] Sheena: (ok nm then)
[23:05] Reis: (To rip the helmet off, I mean)
[23:05] Kuonji: roll 5d8
[23:06] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 5d8 --> [ 5d8=13 ]{13}
[23:06] Alathon: sneak attack
[23:06] Kuonji: roll 6d6
[23:06] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 6d6 --> [ 6d6=20 ]{20}
[23:06] Kuonji: (I fucking hate your dice)
[23:06] Alathon: It tears through her armor
[23:06] Reis: (Just thinking that if it were, she'd be a lot more killable all of a sudden)
[23:06] Kuonji: (I'm serious, I fucking hate them)
[23:06] Alathon: Sheena is up
[23:07] Alathon: er why attack the bound, borderline helpless one anyways?
[23:07] Sheena: "Well sakura has her, so."
[23:07] Kuonji: (because I'm guaranteed a hit)
[23:07] * Sheena looks up and points at her target
[23:07] Sheena: "Axel"
[23:07] Kuonji: (with the way the dice are treating me, doing guaranteed damage before I go out is better then doing no damage before I go out)
[23:07] Sheena: Roll 1d20+26 Shooter
[23:07] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+26 Shooter --> [ 1d20=13 ]{39}
[23:08] Sheena: Roll 1d20+20 Shooter
[23:08] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+20 Shooter --> [ 1d20=19 ]{39}

[23:08] Alathon: roll 1d20+16+4
[23:08] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+16+4 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{26}
[23:08] Alathon: roll 1d20+14+4
[23:08] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+14+4 --> [ 1d20=1 ]{19}
[23:08] Alathon: er
[23:08] Alathon: that doesn't happen right now, but it will ;p
[23:08] * Reis nods. "I'll work on clearing out the others, senpai. Good luck."
[23:08] Alathon: Sheena's bolts of purple light scream out towards the night sky.
[23:09] Sheena: "Don't forget the clutz down behind me"
[23:09] Alathon: roll 1d20+24
[23:09] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+24 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{38}

[23:10] Alathon: all three slam into Sheena, hurting her.. but not too badly
[23:10] Reis: (Dammit... Maybe make an 'extra' of each member of the party, next time, though that'd be hell to control)
[23:11] * Sheena has a rather odd grin as the takes the fire and directs her attacks
[23:11] Alathon: last time they all hit forcefields ;p

[23:15] Sheena: (looking at the wrong thing)

[23:15] Reis: (... Two-thirds laugh?)
[23:15] Alathon: all three sets of energy bolts slam into some barely discernable target in the sky, exploding brighntly.

[23:18] Alathon: no, necklace of fireballs
[23:18] Reis: (All three of those are attacks on us?)

[23:20] Alathon: one of the greyfaces actually gets rather scorched
[23:20] Mani: (I meant necklace of fireballs. :) )
[23:20] Alathon: having caught it on the hair
[23:20] Alathon: the other two are hardly burnt
[23:21] Reis: (Fuck, she's freed, isn't she...?)
[23:21] Alathon: Yes
[23:21] Alathon: Man is up

[23:22] Alathon: ((... I'm sorry, but that cracks me up, I'd totally shoot some off))
[23:22] Alathon: ((I' have all these that I' havent' got a chance to)
[23:22] Kuonji: (Oh shit)
[23:22] Sheena: (shit man, you missed that one game of wolfs, some idoit started a fire in the midle of the street, Lit off fire works later, and then the cops showed up in force or my brother as he was useing my backyard)
[23:23] Kuonji: (sounds like someone's about to get their fuckin ass kicked :D)
[23:23] Kuonji: (I love living in a mob neighborhood)
[23:23] * Mani streaks past the armored woman and picks up the hammer with a grunt.
[23:23] Kuonji: (the trouble makers don't get to make trouble for long)
[23:23] * Mani grins at her and then vanishes.
[23:23] * Reis sighs. "I so need to reprogram that..."
[23:23] Sheena: (thats creative)
[23:24] Reis: (Heh. Indeed)

[23:24] Alathon: Woman: ".....xxxxxx"

[23:25] * Reis remembers the curse word.
[23:25] Mani: (I wonder if she said, ".....typical")
[23:25] Mani: (Remember, she has to use Alathon's dicebot, too, so she's used to things going wrong. :) )
[23:25] Alathon: Greyface #1 looks around briefly, then settles for teleporting over to reis. The right reis.

[23:26] Mani: (See?)
[23:26] Alathon: what it thought was the right reis
[23:26] Alathon: it whiffs hard.
[23:26] * Reis blinks as it teleports up into midair, slashes at a fake her, then falls back to mother earth.
[23:26] Kuonji: (damn, I want to go watch the fight)
[23:26] Sheena: (even the npcs fear the bot)
[23:26] Sheena: (go takea look)
[23:26] Reis: "Um... Kyaaa?"

[23:29] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{43}

[23:31] Sheena: Roll 1d20+10
[23:31] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{20}
[23:31] Sheena: "Whats that ries?"
[23:31] * Sheena looks down
[23:31] Alathon: it grabs a hold of Sheena's ample chest.
[23:31] Sheena: "Oh him"
[23:31] * Reis whirls as the greyface goes after Sheens, and prepares to smash it the FUCK off.
[23:31] Mani: (Mani picks the hammer up with a grunt and cries, "So cute! I'll call you Yves!" before vanishing.)
[23:31] Alathon: ((.. Mani then removes the wig, revealing her curly, blonde hair?))
[23:31] Kuonji: (LOL)
[23:31] Alathon: Reis is up
[23:31] Reis: (Can I make a shot with the autofire on the guy glomping her?)
[23:32] Sheena: (eh.. rip lose sheena dont care)
[23:32] Mani: (Does Yuuno bite it on the nose, making it let go in surprise? :) )
[23:32] Alathon: if you botch it, it'll so hit her, but sure

[23:34] Reis: (d10s for hitting the head, or d8?)
[23:35] Alathon: d10's
[23:35] Alathon: you called the shot

[23:35] Sheena: (sheena has a lot of chest to dodge on)
[23:35] Reis: (Hahahaahah!)
[23:35] Alathon: the ribbons tear the fuck out of the greyface, shearing off hair, scalp... and maybe some skull as well
[23:36] Mani: (Reminds me of the cinematic of Baal attacking the man in front of the keep in the Diablo II expansion, too.)
[23:36] * Reis does NOT say 'mine' or anything of the like, just pulps the fool.
[23:36] * Sheena catchs some blood splatter but dont mind
[23:36] Alathon: its not dead, but hurt quite badly
[23:36] Mani: (Yuuno screams. :) )
[23:36] Alathon: heh
[23:36] Alathon: Kuonji is up
[23:36] Alathon: at this point, kuonji and mani are the only targets on the ground
[23:36] Alathon: er, party members ;p
[23:37] Sheena: (chillie and onion pizza turned out rather well)
[23:37] * Mani is not visible currently.
[23:37] Alathon: true
[23:37] Alathon: you don't know whether mani is on the ground
[23:37] Kuonji: (can I see mani?)
[23:37] Alathon: no
[23:37] Kuonji: (shit)
[23:38] Kuonji: (think reis could support my weight? >_>)
[23:38] Mani: (Sorry to leave you as the only ground target, Kuonji, but trust me when I say you would *not* want to get hit by that hammer.)
[23:38] Reis: "Sakura-san, get up here!"
[23:38] Kuonji: "Right."
[23:38] * Kuonji leaps up to reis and grabs ahold
[23:39] Kuonji: (do I need a roll, or does my insane jump skill take care of that?)

[23:40] Alathon: alright, roll your unarmed attack
[23:40] Alathon: he can't.. too late in the order
[23:40] Reis: (Nah, the aerial guy is absolute last)
[23:41] Reis: (Whatever it is. Dragon or whatnot)
[23:41] Alathon: the ??? that only Sheena sees?

[23:41] Alathon: Sheena is up
[23:41] Kuonji: "Err, sorry."
[23:41] * Kuonji whispers to Reis
[23:41] Sheena: (more shots)
[23:42] Mani: (It's the newest craze...)
[23:42] * Reis glurks slightly at the weight, but lets her magic take the weight and flushes. "... It's okay Sakura-san."
[23:42] * Reis whispers back.
[23:42] * Sheena ingores the thing on her and fires into the sky once again

[23:43] Reis: (Fuuuuck. This's gonna hurt you, Sheens, isn't it?)
[23:43] Sheena: (Not if this mage is and idoit)
[23:43] Alathon: three flaming balls of orange energy atempt to answer them, aiming to destroy them.

[23:44] Alathon: three sets of purple-black bolts slam into three flaming balls, with resulting explosions.
[23:44] Sheena: (he missed one)
[23:45] Reis: (Heh, he didn't do enough damage on any of them anyway ;) )
[23:45] Alathon: uh
[23:45] Alathon: 18 damage to destroy
[23:45] Reis: (18?)
[23:45] Alathon: 3* d8
[23:45] Mani: (Didn't he miss two? Or is he detonating them for a nearby area effect?)
[23:45] Reis: (Oh, doh. My error.)
[23:45] Alathon: it's not an opposed roll
[23:46] Sheena: (how so?)
[23:46] Mani: (Oh. That would make a difference...)
[23:46] Alathon: er... how would it be? it's aiming for targets in flight that don't dodge
[23:47] Sheena: (homing dont dodge? and who says they have to dodge, he just missed)
[23:47] Sheena: (eh, whatever)
[23:47] Mani: (Your attack rolls don't indicate how hard your shots are to hit.)
[23:47] Sheena: (i see)
[23:47] Alathon: end of round, top of the order
[23:47] Mani: (They just show how hard it is for him to dodge them.)
[23:47] Alathon: Reis and Sheena's forcefields snap back into existance

[23:49] Alathon: Mani is up.
[23:49] Kuonji: (LOL)
[23:49] Mani: (The humvee's lights start blinking and an annoying sound starts repeating.)
[23:50] * Mani reappears somewhere near where she left from.
[23:50] Alathon: (("Please stand away from the car. Please stand away from the car. Please standa way from the car."))
[23:50] * Reis blinks at chainmail-chan.
[23:50] * Mani has her swords in hand. The hammer is nowhere in sight.
[23:50] Alathon: You can see one greyface nearby on the ground, but not within melee range.
[23:50] Alathon: the woman is off a good dsitance by a humvee
[23:50] Mani: (Can't attack after teleporting anyway.)
[23:50] Alathon: the other two greyfaces aren't in evidence

[23:54] Mani: (Like I said, these guys are used to things going horribly wrong. ;) )
[23:54] Alathon: then it loses its grip and falls
[23:54] Alathon: roll 4d6
[23:54] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 4d6 --> [ 4d6=12 ]{12}
[23:54] Alathon: wham
[23:55] Alathon: it hits the ground.
[23:55] Mani: (The ground wins.)
[23:55] Alathon: Reis is up
[23:55] * Reis nods to herself.
[23:55] Alathon: You've got a Kuonji hanging off you.
[23:55] Alathon: it's Season Four all over again
[23:56] * Reis pauses and waits.
[23:56] Reis: (Hold action 'till Kuonji goes)
[23:56] Alathon: alright, Kuonji is up
[23:56] * Sheena looks down and wipes some smead greyface off her chest
[23:56] Kuonji: (shit)
[23:56] Mani: (He certainly is.)
[23:56] Alathon: hmm.. being grappled by clawed creatures should really inflict damage
[23:56] Alathon: but nm
[23:56] Alathon: thats for another session
[23:57] Mani: (Well, she has armor anyway, yes?)
[23:57] Alathon: yeah
[23:57] Reis: (Did the guy who just hit the ground die?)
[23:57] Alathon: though the claws are AP, they'd be unlikely to pierce 20 poitns of armor in that situation
[23:57] Alathon: no
[23:57] Alathon: its still moving
[23:57] Kuonji: (my turn?)
[23:57] Kuonji: (whose is it?)
[23:57] Alathon: Yes
[23:57] Reis: (Yuppers)
[23:57] Alathon: it's Kuonji's turn
[23:58] Reis: (And then I'm moving after Kuonji)
[23:58] Kuonji: (I swipe at her twice, while holding onto reis)
[23:58] Kuonji: (is there a shot penalty?)
[23:58] Kuonji: (by her I mean the armor chick)
[23:58] Alathon: um?
[23:58] Alathon: hm
[23:58] Mani: (And using the con drain?)

[23:59] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{20}
[23:59] Alathon: nod
[23:59] Mani: (That would have been really embarrassing...)

[23:59] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+22 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{32}

[23:59] Alathon: she evades both
[23:59] Kuonji: (so'k)
[23:59] * Reis just grins and points at her again. "Alt Forst!"
[23:59] Alathon: Reis is up
[23:59] Reis: roll 1d20+28
[23:59] Sheena: (with sheena's grand totaly of 10 dodge she needs that armor)

[23:59] Alathon: roll 1d20+18
[23:59] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{35}
[23:59] Reis: (Heheheheh. Pwnt)
[23:59] Alathon: She's encased... again
[23:59] Kuonji: (HAH!)
[00:00] Mani: (Well, at least we're spared any bad puns about her getting drained and becoming 'tired'...)
[00:00] Mani: (With a tire this time.)
[00:00] Alathon: The woman bellows something, "xxxxxxx, xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxx!"
[00:00] Sheena: (you know hummer timers are rather freaking big, i wouldnt want to be hit by it)
[00:00] * Reis laughs out loud. "Sorry, sorry, but you're just such a tempting target!"
[00:00] Alathon: Sheena is up
[00:00] Mani: (I'd still rather be hit by it than her preferred massive warhammer.)
[00:01] * Reis knows she probably just moved HERSELF up the list with that remark.
[00:01] Sheena: "Yuuno, Can you do something to keep her here?"
[00:01] Alathon: you're midair
[00:01] Alathon: no way he's gonna hear you
[00:01] Sheena: oh well
[00:01] Reis: (Isn't he in her chest or something? Or yell it?)
[00:01] * Sheena uses her biger gun on the mage in the air
[00:01] Alathon: ... and regardless, the only thing he can really do is try to suck her into an alternate dimension
[00:01] Alathon: not during a fight, that'd be suicide
[00:01] Sheena: "Block this!"
[00:01] Sheena: (only?)
[00:02] Mani: (I think Mani's still at the top of her list. Especially after stealing her weapon. But Reis is probably a very close second. :) )
[00:02] Reis: (Well, she can walk out of THAT dimension too, potentially)
[00:02] Sheena: (i like how you can put only and alternate dimension in the same line,)
[00:02] Alathon: ((heh))
[00:02] Sheena: Roll 1d20+26 Obsidian Buster
[00:02] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+26 Obsidian Buster --> [ 1d20=4 ]{30}

[00:03] Alathon: roll 1d20+16+4
[00:03] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+16+4 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{36}
[00:03] * Reis whispers more to Kuonji. This 'tag team on the chest' thing actually seems to be working, frighteningly enough.
[00:03] Alathon: no dice
[00:03] Sheena: (sigh(
[00:03] Mani: (Oh, good. We're safer without those.)
[00:03] * Kuonji snickers "We should try this more often"
[00:03] * Reis blushes. "Um..."
[00:03] Alathon: two somewhat larger balls of orange-red fire shoot down from the sky... towards the armored woman

[00:04] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{39}

[00:04] Alathon: ((that's the THIRD time that's happened tongiht))
[00:04] Kuonji: (mostly in your favor)

[00:05] Alathon: and a bunch of tents
[00:05] Alathon: and the humvee, which explodes
[00:05] Sheena: (with ap to?)
[00:05] Alathon: it was an AE attack, not the 3d8 AP 3x attack
[00:05] Mani: (And she was still near that, yes?)

[00:06] Mani: (Any more fireballs on her necklace, btw? :) )
[00:06] Alathon: she's staggered by the multiple explosions that light upt he night
[00:06] Alathon: nope
[00:06] Alathon: if she had them, she'd have used them for sure
[00:06] Alathon: itw as a crappy type I
[00:07] Alathon: the harleyriders turn to face the greyface behind them, and unload

[00:08] Alathon: there's further clamor as the camp springs to life
[00:08] Alathon: end of round, top of the order

[00:09] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d4+30 --> [ 1d4=3 ]{33}
[00:10] Alathon: The tire bounces off Mani's armor, but not without bruising her some.
[00:10] Alathon: The woman then goes scrounging for something better, eventually settling on a tent pole.
[00:10] Alathon: Mani is up
[00:10] Mani: "Shall we dance?"
[00:10] * Mani attacks the grey that attacked her.
[00:10] Alathon: ... and no, the spare tire is not AP

[00:13] Mani: (Sorry, + 40, not +8)
[00:13] Sheena: (oh dear..)
[00:13] Mani: (Forgot to multiply it by the # of attacks.)
[00:13] Reis: (Rurouni Kenshin once more...)
[00:14] Mani: (So 126)
[00:14] Alathon: Mani's swords cut bloody valleys in the greyface's flesh.
[00:14] Mani: "I'll lead."

[00:15] Mani: (And its morale just plummeted. :) )
[00:15] Alathon: well shit
[00:15] Alathon: that one just insta-died, past negative max hp
[00:16] Alathon: the first two claws go into the chest, yanking the rider forward, so the next four clawsipes can utterly shred its neck.
[00:16] Mani: (Couldn't have been anyone important if it didn't even have a gender.)

[00:21] Mani: (Low visibility?)
[00:21] Reis: (... Oh yeah, _I_ have a ring of protection. Eheheheh?)

[00:23] Alathon: and explode against the forcefields
[00:23] Alathon: they're down, but the attack does zero damage
[00:23] * Sheena must be liighting up the sky nicely with all the shit blowning up
[00:23] Alathon: the harleyriders back away from the greyface a bit, and shoot at it
[00:23] Alathon: roll 5#1d20+11
[00:23] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 5#1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{16}, [ 1d20=20 ]{31}, [ 1d20=19 ]{30}, [ 1d20=20 ]{31}, [ 1d20=9 ]{20}

[00:24] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 5#1d12+4 --> [ 1d12=1 ]{5}, [ 1d12=8 ]{12}, [ 1d12=1 ]{5}, [ 1d12=4 ]{8}, [ 1d12=3 ]{7}
[00:24] Alathon: but still doesnt' seem too badly off
[00:24] Mani: (Counted the crits?)

[00:25] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{20}
[00:25] Alathon: and she vanishes.
[00:25] Mani: (Saw that coming.)
[00:25] Reis: (FUCK!)
[00:25] * Reis sighs. "Expected, but... disappointing."
[00:25] Alathon: Mani is up
[00:25] Kuonji: "Fuck."
[00:25] Mani: (Not like we had a reasonable way to whittle down all those hp before she did that.)
[00:26] Reis: "Sheisskopf!"
[00:26] Alathon: Hm?
[00:26] Sheena: "Annnoying, Dark heart we shall have to get mean in the future"
[00:26] * Mani goes after her dance partner.
[00:26] Alathon: you can whittle down a LOT of hitpoints in a round as a party
[00:26] Mani: (1 set of attacks?)
[00:26] Reis: (Well, we could've tried to knock her out or something)
[00:26] Reis: (Remember, killing her's no good. She comes BACK)
[00:26] Kuonji: (I'm sad)
[00:26] Alathon: the downside is, you'd have to be willing to trade blows
[00:26] Mani: (Sure, if we all have the luxury of focusing on her.)
[00:26] Kuonji: (but now we're prepared for next time :D)
[00:26] Mani: roll 2#1d20+30
[00:26] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{34}, [ 1d20=11 ]{41}

[00:26] Sheena: (next time? Where's our nemmises bonus? heh)
[00:27] Alathon: roll 1d20+19
[00:27] Sheena: (oh god, midboss)
[00:27] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{34}
[00:27] Alathon: roll 1d20+17
[00:27] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{28}
[00:27] Alathon: dodges one, the other connects

[00:27] Mani: roll 1d8+8
[00:27] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 1d8+8 --> [ 1d8=7 ]{15}
[00:27] Mani: roll 3d8
[00:27] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 3d8 --> [ 3d8=19 ]{19}
[00:27] Reis: (I am SO finding out how to get Dimensional Anchor.)
[00:27] Alathon: it's Almost dead
[00:27] Reis: (Seriously, she's pissing me off :P )
[00:27] Alathon: the greyface by the harleyriders tears into another one
[00:27] Mani: (I only get one set of attacks or do I get more?)
[00:27] Alathon: roll 2#1d20+28
[00:27] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2#1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{31}, [ 1d20=1 ]{29}

[00:28] Mani: (Awww. ;) )
[00:28] Alathon: you'd have to move to get to the one you were fighting (or anyone) as they both fled on foot
[00:28] Alathon: roll 1d20+8
[00:28] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{17}
[00:28] Alathon: roll 2d4+5+1d8
[00:28] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 2d4+5+1d8 --> [ 2d4=2 1d8=2 ]{9}

[00:29] Mani: (It *really* has to go.)
[00:29] Alathon: greyface #2.....
[00:29] Alathon: roll 1d20+4
[00:29] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{6}

[00:29] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{19}
[00:29] Alathon: vanishes
[00:29] Alathon: Reis is up
[00:29] Sheena: "Ok this is getting really freaking annoying"
[00:30] Alathon: sitrep.. there's one greyface on the round killing harleyriders
[00:30] Alathon: one running from Mani
[00:31] Alathon: and there's a spellcaster somewhere up in the sky
[00:31] * Reis points her dagger at the greyface fucking with the Harleyriders. "Band Flintenlauf." Five ribbons lance out for its skull.
[00:31] Reis: roll 1d20+28
[00:31] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 1d20+28 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{34}
[00:31] Alathon: it fails to dodge, being stuck in the latrine.. again
[00:31] Alathon: five hits
[00:32] Reis: roll 5#4d10
[00:32] Ala-bot: Reis rolled 5#4d10 --> [ 4d10=24 ]{24}, [ 4d10=26 ]{26}, [ 4d10=22 ]{22}, [ 4d10=18 ]{18}, [ 4d10=18 ]{18}
[00:33] Alathon: the ribbons tear into it.. not as badly as they did the last one, but still for substantial bodily harm.
[00:33] Alathon: Kuonji is up
[00:33] Sheena: (sakura must have a good grip to be able to hang onto clothing thats used as a weapon)
[00:33] Kuonji: "Sorry Reis, you're going to need to put up with me a little longer."
[00:34] Reis: (He might be holding onto the flesh :P )
[00:34] Kuonji: (He's a fucking ninja)
[00:34] Reis: (Or maybe the clothes that aren't flying around)
[00:34] * Kuonji takes aim for the mage and attempts his shadowmaul
[00:34] Reis: (It's just the ribbons that're flying, she's wearing SOMEWHAT more ;) )
[00:34] Kuonji: roll 1d20+11
[00:34] Ala-bot: Kuonji rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{22}

[00:34] Alathon: both are dodged
[00:34] Kuonji: (OH fucking blow me)
[00:35] Alathon: Sheena is up
[00:35] Reis: "That's all right Sakura-san, as long as you're not getting killed down there..."
[00:35] * Reis flicks a bit of Sakura's blood off her fingers.
[00:36] Sheena: Roll 1d20+26
[00:36] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+26 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{36}
[00:36] Sheena: Roll 1d20+21
[00:36] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{26}
[00:36] Alathon: which attack?
[00:36] Sheena: (WTF)
[00:36] Sheena: (buster again)
[00:36] Alathon: roll 1d20+14+4-2
[00:36] Reis: (On the plus side, Sakura's distracted him. That first one is almost an autohit)
[00:36] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+14+4-2 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{29}
[00:36] Alathon: roll 1d20+12+4-2
[00:36] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+12+4-2 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{21}
[00:36] Alathon: both hit
[00:36] Sheena: ( i have yet to break 15 in these last 10 rolls)
[00:36] Reis: (Nyahahah?)
[00:36] Sheena: (err huh?)
[00:37] Sheena: Roll 2#7d8+2
[00:37] Ala-bot: Sheena rolled 2#7d8+2 --> [ 7d8=21 ]{23}, [ 7d8=26 ]{28}
[00:37] Alathon: the harleyriders keep shooting the stuck greyface
[00:37] Alathon: roll 5#1d20+11
[00:37] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 5#1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{29}, [ 1d20=11 ]{22}, [ 1d20=10 ]{21}, [ 1d20=6 ]{17}, [ 1d20=14 ]{25}
[00:37] Sheena: (thoes are both AP)

[00:38] Alathon: *nod*
[00:38] Alathon: they hurt whatever's up there.. but you don't see a falling body
[00:38] Alathon: it's pretty near dead
[00:38] Alathon: roll 1d20+5
[00:38] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{23}
[00:38] Reis: (And escapes, eh?)
[00:39] Reis: (SO wanting Dimensional Anchor...)
[00:39] Alathon: sorry, but learning dyn sorc from an alt form of an IoP is just Wrong
[00:39] Sheena: "Serenity damn them!"
[00:40] Kuonji: (no, you want protection from evil and dimension door :D)
[00:40] Alathon: end of round, top of the order
[00:40] Sheena: "Target lost!"
[00:40] Alathon: Mani is up
[00:40] Kuonji: "Took the words right out of my mouth."
[00:40] * Mani attempts to finish off her grey.
[00:40] Mani: roll 2#1d20+30
[00:40] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{49}, [ 1d20=14 ]{44}

[00:40] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+17 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{24}
[00:40] Alathon: both hit
[00:40] Mani: "A poor dance partrner."
[00:41] Mani: roll 2#1d8+8
[00:41] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 2#1d8+8 --> [ 1d8=7 ]{15}, [ 1d8=5 ]{13}
[00:41] Alathon: both penetrate
[00:41] Mani: roll 6d8
[00:41] Ala-bot: Mani rolled 6d8 --> [ 6d8=28 ]{28}
[00:41] Alathon: it goes down in a spray of blood.
[00:41] Reis: (Well, alt form not necessarily, but... SOME kind of 'special attribute'. They've got 'run between universes with just a success roll', I wouldn't mind 'pin them in universes with just a success roll'...)
[00:41] Alathon: Formulate strategy in response.
[00:42] Alathon: roll 1d20+4
[00:42] Ala-bot: Alathon rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{13}
[00:42] Alathon: the one fighting the riders vanishes
[00:42] Mani: (All targets gone?)
[00:42] Alathon: As far as youc an tell, yeah
[00:42] * Reis snarls.
[00:42] Alathon: there's two corpses on the field.. one Rider, and one greyface.
[00:42] * Mani runs over to the riders.
[00:42] Mani: (Out of combat rounds, btw?)
[00:43] * Reis lowers slowly, preparing to let Kuonji off.
[00:43] Alathon: oh, and burnt out tents that the riders scrambled out of, and a burning humvee
[00:43] Kuonji: "Thanks for the ride."
[00:43] * Kuonji deactivates his invis
[00:43] * Reis flushes. "It's... okay..."
[00:43] Alathon: yes, out of combat
[00:43] * Kuonji looks at himself "What a mess."
[00:43] * Mani kneels by the dead rider.
[00:43] Alathon: it's been less than a minute
[00:43] Kuonji: "Sorry

[Alathon]

Session 47 - part 3

[00:43] Alathon: it's been less than a minute
[00:43] Kuonji: "Sorry about the blood."
[00:43] Alathon: the camp is still wakign up... more and more riders are approaching, in squads.
[00:43] Mani: (How does he/she look?)
[00:43] * Kuonji jumps down from reis
[00:44] Alathon: if you want to bring her back for interrogation or something.. you could.
[00:44] * Reis shakes her head. "No... I don't mind. At least you don't have your spleen hanging out..."
[00:44] Alathon: she's dead, but not by that much
[00:44] Mani: (The rider...)
[00:44] Alathon: ooooh
[00:44] Alathon: hm, lemme check
[00:44] * Sheena floats down with reis
[00:45] Sheena: "Im really getting pissed off with them running away like that"
[00:45] Mani: (It was just claw attacks, so the damage shouldn't be too massive, I'd think.)
[00:45] * Reis stalks towards the greyface to check on it. "As am I, senpai..."
[00:45] Alathon: ...
[00:45] Alathon: nope
[00:46] Alathon: he's braindead.. reduced to less than negative max hp
[00:46] Mani: (As opposed to writhing energy bolts that vaporized someone.)
[00:47] Mani: (Rank 5 should be able to revive someone braindead.)
[00:47] Mani: (So long as they aren't blown to bits.)
[00:47] Alathon: ...
[00:47] Mani: (I'd think. Let me reread things.)
[00:47] * Sheena lets dark heart reform into a full staff and walks over to mani, Darkness forming around and behind her as the jewel glows angerly
[00:47] Alathon: the only comment on 'deadness' is that rank 3 can restore someone who is clinically dead but not braindead
[00:48] Reis: (There's this bit: One with Rank 5+ can restore massive damage, such as putting a character together who was literally cut in half. No healer can repair someone who was blown to bits, disintegrated, or dead for more than a few minutes, however.
[00:48] Alathon: Yuuno scurries out from under a tent, looking rather scorched, but still mobile.
[00:48] Mani: (Yeah, but it also says rank 5+ can restore someone cut in half. If that's not dead, I don't know what is.)
[00:48] Reis: "It's just... feels so wrong that they can just walk in, kill as they please, and then mosey out once things start getting slightly uncomfortable!"
[00:49] Alathon: Yuuno: "I shoulda barriered them.. I just.. I wasn't sure if you needed backup."
[00:49] Kuonji: "Well, we've got a plan that will help take the hammer bitch down faster next time."
[00:49] * Reis growls and stomps the ground, kneeling down next to the pwnt greyface.
[00:49] * Reis nods. "And I'll see if I can reprogram Alt Forst to resist heat somehow..."
[00:50] Sheena: "Thats ok yuuno,"
[00:50] * Reis examines the damn bastard.
[00:50] Sheena: "Durning a fight like that isnt the best time to test new moves, if the other riders didnt show up it might have ended bad for us"
[00:50] Alathon: it's slowly healing.
[00:50] * Reis nods. "Yes... Don't get yourself hurt like that again, sensei."
[00:51] * Reis frowns. "Well... they definitely heal."
[00:51] Kuonji: "Anyway sheena, next time we run into her, I think we can get her helmet off..."
[00:51] Alathon: its still pretty wounded.. Mani put it will below zero.
[00:51] * Reis aims Swordbreaker. "We should wait for Mani-san..." Her ribbons shiver, just WAITING to smash into its face the moment it stirs.
[00:52] Kuonji: "Hmmm... So are we going to take that one for questioning?"
[00:52] * Reis nods. "Get the helmet off, and I'll put a hole in her head."
[00:52] * Reis shrugs. "Possibly... At the least, we have the option right now."
[00:53] Kuonji: "I was hoping to jam an entire vial of poison down her neck... Then hit her in the throat."
[00:53] * Kuonji grumbles
[00:53] Alathon: anyways.. it's getting late
[00:53] Alathon: Yuuno: "Yeah, but still..."
[00:54] Kuonji: "Never a dull moment, eh?"
[00:55] Sheena: "She was here for us"
[00:55] Alathon: End here.
[00:55] Sheena: "Some one.. ok
[00:55] Reis: (Hey, it's a great line to leave off on :P )
[00:55] *** Reis is now known as Pale_Wolf.
[00:55] Alathon: definately ran late
[00:55] *** Mani is now known as Yarrow.
[00:55] Sheena: ya
[00:55] Yarrow: Yeah.
[00:56] Alathon: I wish we could get a timeslot that'd allow a bit more time
[00:56] Yarrow: Well, Mani got a trophy out of this fight.
[00:56] *** Kuonji is now known as Ataru.
[00:56] Alathon: and heh, yeah
[00:56] Sheena: Usagi's looking like a bad boss becaus al dont care about field reports
[00:56] *** Sheena is now known as DCG.
[00:56] Alathon: um, she cares, she just doesn't respond to every single one
[00:56] Alathon: my boss certainly doesn't reply to every status report ;p
[00:56] Pale_Wolf: Heh, I hope she at least doesn't come back with another one of those damn things :P
[00:56] DCG: i,,
[00:56] DCG: ok granted
[00:57] Ataru: Yeah, but your status reports don't usually involve life or death situations
[00:57] Alathon: true
[00:57] DCG: but the alst report about the prebattle planing, and then the report after our attack in the city
[00:57] Yarrow: I'm sure the armored woman is losing her enthusiasm for fighing us again. :)
[00:57] DCG: normaly would get something
[00:57] Alathon: but... what's she supposed to say? keep not dying?
[00:57] DCG: heh
[00:57] Alathon: well, don't worry
[00:57] DCG: Yes, Yes she should
[00:57] DCG: "Good job, Try not to die"
[00:57] Alathon: the report of this fight will get something ;p
[00:57] DCG: help moral
[00:57] Pale_Wolf: Okay, Al, how would we go about getting a 'dimensional lock' ability?
[00:57] Ataru: there's gotta be some sort of equipment CT can send us
[00:58] Ataru: healing items of some kind?
[00:58] DCG: we got field kits
[00:58] Alathon: you actually have some looted healing potions, I believe
[00:58] Pale_Wolf: SOMETHING that can block the damn things from just running away after paying for a 1-CP attribute.
[00:58] Ataru: we left that for research
[00:58] Alathon: oh yeah
[00:58] Alathon: and the one since got smashed
[00:58] DCG: ya shame we can't by dim hop
[00:58] DCG: i mean where we gona jump?
[00:58] DCG: celeste place?
[00:58] Ataru: hey can we use the potions like chemists in FFT? :P
[00:59] Pale_Wolf: The fact that these guys can just pay a single CP and suddenly become able to run away at perfect will, and there's not a DAMN thing we can do to stop them...
[00:59] Alathon: I dunno, if you really wantd to, you could try to convince her to show you a few places
[00:59] Pale_Wolf: It's frustrating.
[00:59] Alathon: try planning around that
[00:59] Alathon: what about this fight allowed them to get away?
[00:59] Ataru: the fact that we can't stop them?
[00:59] Yarrow: Not killing/koing them fast enough. :)
[00:59] DCG: every thing blowing up?
[00:59] Pale_Wolf: We CAN'T. If they're sentient enough to be questioned, for instance, they can take a single action to get away, and we're left with air.
[01:00] Alathon: well for one.. I'd suggest looking at this as an in character problem, not a "I want to spend CP to fix it" problem
[01:00] Alathon: because this is a fairly fundamental aspect of this campaign right now
[01:00] Pale_Wolf: They just have a pwnz-all attribute that they can use at will. Unless we kill them in like one round or get lucky with their failed rolls, they can ALWAYS escape.
[01:00] Alathon: that you're facing interdmensional invaders
[01:01] Yarrow: Concentrating attacks could help, but it was hard to manage in this fight.
[01:01] Alathon: YOU CAN ALWAYS FUCKING KILL THEM IN ONE ROUND IF YOU WOULD FUCKING BE DISCIPLINED ENOUGH TO ATTACK ONE TARGET
[01:02] Yarrow: We don't want to establish a precedent. :)
[01:02] Alathon: this fight, like pretty much every fight ever, was people attacking whichever target they decided was convenient or most important
[01:02] Ataru: he'll start doing it anyway
[01:02] Alathon: I already have done that
[01:02] Alathon: they couldn't really in this fight because of the forcefields and flight
[01:04] Yarrow: On the bright side, since I said it right before the DM shouted at us, if we do start doing it, we won't just be doing what the DM told us to. ;)
[01:05] Yarrow: Anyway, I should go to bed.
[01:05] DCG: ya figered setting that precedent was a bad idea,
[01:05] Alathon: 3100 exp
