Umbrafer (8:35:48 PM): j0
Dragcrell (8:37:35 PM): mmmmmmmm wounde what all kinda fun I can have to day lol
Thematrian1 (8:37:41 PM): so: when we left the group, Alex, Blake, and Trickster had all gotten inside Sigrun's garage. Rock had an invitation from one of the trolls
EverGuard4 (8:37:52 PM): hm?
EverGuard4 (8:37:56 PM): to go inside?
Thematrian1 (8:38:00 PM): right
EverGuard4 (8:38:13 PM): (I managed to get all of the bodies into the van, right?)
EverGuard4 (8:38:21 PM): (and what happened to the gibbering troll?)
Thematrian1 (8:38:48 PM): (He's still gibbering)
EverGuard4 (8:39:14 PM): (did those gathered in Sigrun's place have any intention of retrieving him, as far as I could determine?)
Thematrian1 (8:39:47 PM): (You're not sure the one person they've sent outside even noticed him)
MilesMk1 (8:40:56 PM): Before they close up, I'd like to a) Check up on the person that was being carried away by a wasp I blew away and b) Gag, and blidnfold the "cops" and bring them inside.
EverGuard4 (8:41:18 PM): (the female troll with the Panther?)
Thematrian1 (8:41:23 PM): (The very same)
EverGuard4 (8:41:39 PM): *gestures to gibbering troll*
Thematrian1 (8:41:42 PM): Blake: no one tries to stop you as you leave.
Thematrian1 (8:41:59 PM): Oh Lord. I'm going to have to switch locations. With luck I won't lose wireless. Back in a moment.
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

Thematrian1 declined your invitation to chat.

Thematrian1 (8:50:46 PM): wow, sorry about that
Umbrafer (8:51:00 PM): No worries, what 'appened?
Thematrian1 (8:51:16 PM): thirty-five 14-year-old girls invaded the cluster I was using
Umbrafer (8:51:28 PM): …?
Thematrian1 (8:51:31 PM): there was...something of a racket
Thematrian1 (8:51:33 PM): anyway
Dragcrell (8:51:54 PM): (lol)
Thematrian1 (8:52:17 PM): Blake: you walk down the street a ways and
MilesMk1 (8:52:32 PM): (I take my gun with me unless someone stops me)
Thematrian1 (8:52:53 PM): you walk down the street and find the guy easily
MilesMk1 (8:53:23 PM): Dead?
Thematrian1 (8:53:45 PM): He's lying face-down in a pool of his own blood. The wasp is not in evidence
MilesMk1 (8:54:15 PM): I check for vital signs.
Thematrian1 (8:54:26 PM): roll biotech
Thematrian1 (8:54:33 PM): first aid, IIRC you have it
MilesMk1 (8:54:38 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 5 3
Thematrian1 (8:55:53 PM): he's alive. No neck or spine injuries as far as you can tell, which is a bit surprising given how far he fell. His body is unusually limp, though
MilesMk1 (8:56:21 PM): Muscle-relaxing properties of the venom, perhaps?
Thematrian1 (8:56:27 PM): could well be
MilesMk1 (8:56:52 PM): I try to stabilize him if he needs it right now, if not, I carry him back.
EverGuard4 (8:57:27 PM): (points out gibbering troll to female w/ Panther)
Thematrian1 (8:57:46 PM): He doesn't seem to need it: major injuries are a bunch of punctures in the stomach, and maybe the foot
Thematrian1 (8:58:03 PM): Rock, are you heading inside then? When she came out, she grabbed Alex and returned, essentially
EverGuard4 (8:59:04 PM): (the female troll?)
Umbrafer (8:59:13 PM): *Tries not to bleed internally too much*
Thematrian1 (8:59:17 PM): (The very same)
EverGuard4 (8:59:25 PM): (o...)
EverGuard4 (8:59:27 PM): (um
EverGuard4 (8:59:30 PM): ... sec.)
EverGuard4 (8:59:51 PM): (van still outside?)
Thematrian1 (8:59:59 PM): Alex: There's a small crowd of people standing around you, but even in their present blurry state you're sure that none of them are Sigrun
Thematrian1 (9:00:01 PM): (Yes)
Umbrafer (9:00:36 PM): Can I identify what any of them are doing?
Thematrian1 (9:01:48 PM): 'Standing around and staring', pretty much
Umbrafer (9:02:05 PM): *Focuses on the not-bleeding-internally part*
Thematrian1 (9:02:09 PM): Trickster: you did see someone slip away into one of the back rooms when Alex was brought in
Thematrian1 (9:03:26 PM): Rock re-enters the garage
Thematrian1 (9:03:33 PM): Blake carries the limp guy back.
EverGuard4 (9:03:46 PM): (isn't this my first time inside?)
Dragcrell (9:03:53 PM): "Where did that one go?" *turns and looks at the guy*
Thematrian1 (9:04:06 PM): Rock enters the garage
EverGuard4 (9:04:31 PM): *Spanish Spanish Spanish*
MilesMk1 (9:04:35 PM): "It's the one the was was carrying." *to the crowd* "Is this one of yours?"
Dragcrell (9:05:39 PM): *looks the guy Blake is carrying*
MilesMk1 (9:05:46 PM): (the wasp was carrying, rather)
Thematrian1 (9:07:10 PM): One short human guy makes a noise halfway between a shout of joy and a sob. When he can speak again: "Yes, he's mine."
MilesMk1 (9:07:35 PM): *in Spanish* "Rockpleaseusethetranslationmagic. Sigh."
MilesMk1 (9:08:00 PM): "He's still alive, but it looks like he's got a lot of their venom in him."
Thematrian1 (9:08:30 PM): Short Human Guy whispers something too low to catch. Another voice from the crowd: "It doesn't kill, it just paralyzes."
Dragcrell (9:09:02 PM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 2 2 2 4 4 3 3
Thematrian1 (9:09:08 PM): "Michael, take care of him." SHG takes the wasp victim from you, Blake, unless you prevent him, and lays him out beside Alex
Dragcrell (9:09:09 PM): (ewww)
EverGuard4 (9:09:44 PM): *pauses and mutters to self in Spanish*
MilesMk1 (9:09:50 PM): *helps if possible, or just lets the guy do his thing*
EverGuard4 (9:10:00 PM): "A gibbering troll remains outside, along with several casualties."
EverGuard4 (9:10:04 PM): (speaking to Blake)
Thematrian1 (9:10:23 PM): He seems to know what he's doing, and he carries the body without apparent effort.
MilesMk1 (9:10:51 PM): "Oh. Right. Yeah, there's another one outside... Short for a troll, seemed frightened out of his wits, or something."
EverGuard4 (9:11:45 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 3 2 2 3 1 2 3 1 6 6
EverGuard4 (9:11:49 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 1 1 1 3 3 5 6 6 2 2
EverGuard4 (9:11:52 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 5 4 1 5 6 1 6 6 1 1
EverGuard4 (9:11:56 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 2 2 3 5 3 5 1 3 4 6
EverGuard4 (9:11:57 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 4 5 1 6 2 6 5 1 1 1
MilesMk1 (9:12:00 PM): "One of you guys want to get him? I need to take care of a couple of passengers of ours."
EverGuard4 (9:12:01 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 10 6-sided dice: 5 6 4 5 5 4 6 4 3 6
MilesMk1 (9:13:01 PM): *heads out to the van to blindfold and gag the maybe-cops, then knocks them out (not using the shock gloves, or hitting all that hard), and drags them inside by their collars.*
Thematrian1 (9:14:40 PM): Blake beats the cops unconscious and drags them in. Meanwhile, two more faces from the crowd head out to the troll. They kneel beside him and speak in low tones.
EverGuard4 (9:15:00 PM): *watches*
Thematrian1 (9:15:41 PM): trying to listen in?
Dragcrell (9:15:46 PM): *trys to work out what all the hell happned and how the bugs fit in*
Thematrian1 (9:15:54 PM): Meanwhile, inside: "Is there anything else that needs to get taken care of right away?"
MilesMk1 (9:16:33 PM): Is that one of them asking us?
EverGuard4 (9:16:53 PM): just watching
EverGuard4 (9:17:04 PM): *raises hand slightly*
Dragcrell (9:17:22 PM): *points to Alex* "get her some help and some sleep woudl be good been one hell of a night."
Thematrian1 (9:17:22 PM): It is. Specifically, the guy who was talking earlier
Thematrian1 (9:18:45 PM): Apologizing for the hostile welcome, and so forth
Thematrian1 (9:19:59 PM): A voice from the back: "Arty's still unconscious, I didn't want to stim him without..."
MilesMk1 (9:19:59 PM): "I think we're good. Just find these *points to the cops* a closet, and if you have someone who can take care of Alex, I'd want to sit down somewhere now..."
MilesMk1 (9:20:46 PM): "Although..." *points at Rock*
Thematrian1 (9:21:30 PM): To Blake: "Pull up a hunk of wreckage, then."
MilesMk1 (9:22:25 PM): *gets his guns back together, sits down, and peels off his bloody t-shirt to get a look at the wasp stings*
Thematrian1 (9:22:38 PM): He turns to the guy yelling from the back: "You did right, Machen."
Thematrian1 (9:23:17 PM): "Is Alex going to die without medical care?"
MilesMk1 (9:24:08 PM): (Is she? What happens to people who suffered a Deadly wound, then were stabilized and brought back to consciousness?)
Thematrian1 (9:24:37 PM): The deep-voiced troll notices, then studiously ignores, your wasp stings. They don't seem terribly deep, even if it is hard to breathe.
Thematrian1 (9:24:53 PM): (She won't die or get better without hospital care.)
Umbrafer (9:25:33 PM): (The answer in game mechanics is "no". The answer in-game is probably more like "probably".)
Umbrafer (9:25:41 PM): (But not soon)
Thematrian1 (9:26:12 PM): (Right)
MilesMk1 (9:26:38 PM): "I don't think she's in any immediate danger, but she definitely needs a doctor to look at her as soon as possible."
Thematrian1 (9:27:27 PM): "We have a sorcerer. He wore himself out fighting the wasps. When he's awake and functional, I'll ask him to try and heal her."
Thematrian1 (9:27:54 PM): "In the meantime...who are you all?"
MilesMk1 (9:27:59 PM): "Thank you."
EverGuard4 (9:28:17 PM): "Business associates."
EverGuard4 (9:28:25 PM): "... of Alex's."
MilesMk1 (9:29:32 PM): "I'm Blake. Part of Alex' crew, I guess you'd say, though I don't know if she'd call it that."
Thematrian1 (9:29:47 PM): Alex: you can hear this conversation
MilesMk1 (9:30:09 PM): (It seems like we've been working for ages - I guess in-game, it hasn't been that long.)
MilesMk1 (9:30:20 PM): (working together)
Umbrafer (9:30:38 PM): (A few months and what, a half-dozen jobs? In the Shadows, that's ages of sorts)
Thematrian1 (9:30:40 PM): (About a month, though it's been an intense month)
Umbrafer (9:30:53 PM): (IIRC we started mid-June, so that'd be two months)
Thematrian1 (9:31:02 PM): ( ::nod:: )
Thematrian1 (9:31:16 PM): "And the rest of you?" His attention is mostly on Rock.
Thematrian1 (9:31:23 PM): Trickster goes comparatively unnoticed
EverGuard4 (9:32:26 PM): "As previously mentioned, I entered a mutually beneficial agreement with Alex."
EverGuard4 (9:32:40 PM): (tries to keep a straight face as he claims this) ;-)
Thematrian1 (9:32:52 PM): "And your name?"
EverGuard4 (9:33:00 PM): "Rock."
Dragcrell (9:33:03 PM): "Triskster and I just help out where I can."
Umbrafer (9:33:27 PM): ("Trickster and I"? Got multiple personalities now?)
Thematrian1 (9:33:36 PM): (Dragcrell: Typo, or are you trying to imply that Rock's name is TRickster, or...?)
MilesMk1 (9:33:43 PM): (Imagine a comma after Trickster, I think...)
Thematrian1 (9:33:54 PM): (Ah, good call)
Dragcrell (9:33:55 PM): ((typo sorry))
Thematrian1 (9:34:31 PM): He nods. "And what do you know about the wasps?"
MilesMk1 (9:35:04 PM): "They're spirits of some sort. Focused will hurts them more than bullets..."
MilesMk1 (9:35:34 PM): "Or at least they feel the way a spirit would in a fight."
Thematrian1 (9:35:50 PM): From the dozen or so person crowd still hanging around: "What Arty was saying..."
Thematrian1 (9:36:03 PM): "None of you are mages, anything like that?"
Umbrafer (9:36:25 PM): (*Everyone points at Rock*)
MilesMk1 (9:36:34 PM): "Rock is."
EverGuard4 (9:36:45 PM): *pause*
EverGuard4 (9:37:48 PM): "I cannot explain the distinction, but I am not a mage."
MilesMk1 (9:39:43 PM): *shrugs* "Hey, as far as I'm concerned, if it walks like a duck... though I'm sure you're right. I'm hardly an expert on this."
EverGuard4 (9:40:08 PM): *looks @ Blake* "I am not a duck, either."
Dragcrell (9:40:21 PM): *chucles*
Thematrian1 (9:40:43 PM): The crowd laughs nervously
MilesMk1 (9:41:06 PM): "Figure of speech..."
EverGuard4 (9:42:09 PM): (to interrogator) "I am unfamiliar with most English idioms."
Thematrian1 (9:42:52 PM): "I can see that." He adds something in Spanish.
EverGuard4 (9:44:04 PM): "Si."
Thematrian1 (9:45:42 PM): He replies with more Spanish. Meanwhile, a guy who's maybe 14 is sidling up to Trickster and Blake
EverGuard4 (9:45:56 PM): *Spanish Spanish Spanish*
Dragcrell (9:46:52 PM): *looks at the sidling guy* "Yes?"
MilesMk1 (9:47:18 PM): *looks over at the sidling guy*
Thematrian1 (9:48:55 PM): "You guys are shadowrunners, right?"
Dragcrell (9:49:44 PM): (lol and some of us a bit more ;3)
Dragcrell (9:50:02 PM): *looks at blake*
Umbrafer (9:50:57 PM): (If Blake becomes a role model, I may have to cry.)
Umbrafer (9:50:59 PM): (Though he is the best person on the team for it.)
Thematrian1 (9:51:30 PM): (Shojo was playing role model)
Umbrafer (9:51:39 PM): (Which was terrifying.)
MilesMk1 (9:51:42 PM): *chuckles* "Guess that's one way to call it..."
EverGuard4 (9:51:45 PM): ... a right fucking good role model @ that.
EverGuard4 (9:51:47 PM): (sorry)
Dragcrell (9:51:50 PM): (well I'm deffetly out unless the guy as hope to live in the woods or something)
EverGuard4 (9:51:52 PM): (Sam cried out)
MilesMk1 (9:52:58 PM): "Though your friends here seem to have more heavy hardware than we do." *smiles slightly*
Thematrian1 (9:53:38 PM): "But they don't do anything, they just stay here."
Thematrian1 (9:53:39 PM): He's addressing Blake, but keeps glancing at Trickster.
MilesMk1 (9:55:36 PM): "Well... That seems like a pretty good idea to me for the moment." *grins*
Dragcrell (9:56:13 PM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 2 4 5 2 3 3 4
Dragcrell (9:57:27 PM): *nods* "ya kinda a zoo out there at the moment"
Thematrian1 (9:57:37 PM): He seems uncertain, suddenly.
EverGuard4 (9:57:40 PM): Look who's talking...
Dragcrell (9:57:55 PM): lol
MilesMk1 (9:59:06 PM): "So, what do you around here, since they won't let you go anywhere?"
MilesMk1 (9:59:22 PM): *winces a bit as he checks on the wound on his ribs*
MilesMk1 (9:59:50 PM): (BTW, can you do First Aid on yourself, and if so, are there penalties?)
Thematrian1 (10:00:05 PM): (IIRC, yes and no respectively. Jon?
Umbrafer (10:00:08 PM): (You can and there aren't, IIRC. The penalty is that you've got your own wound mods.)
MilesMk1 (10:00:28 PM): (Ah. Right. Guess I'll wait for someone who knows what they're doing, then. ;))
Thematrian1 (10:00:50 PM): The Spanish conversation is over. The boy seems about to answer, but the troll speaks up first: "We don't have any food here, but we do have some cots in the back rooms.Stay there if you like."
MilesMk1 (10:01:23 PM): "Thanks. Where are you guys putting up Alex?"
Umbrafer (10:01:40 PM): (Note to self/team: knock over stuffer shack for food at first opportunity, if any are left standing.)
MilesMk1 (10:02:14 PM): (We need to knock over some place that carries food and tasers.)
EverGuard4 (10:02:47 PM): (mm... tasers.)
Umbrafer (10:02:52 PM): (Wal*Mart, then?)
EverGuard4 (10:02:52 PM): (mm... good.)
Thematrian1 (10:03:30 PM): "Alex gets one of the cots." His manner is apologetic.
Dragcrell (10:03:45 PM): (na Kmart)
Thematrian1 (10:03:46 PM): "We'll leave her near Sigrun."
Umbrafer (10:04:00 PM): (Kmart doesn't stock weaponry last I checked)
Thematrian1 (10:04:12 PM): The short man watching over the wasp prisoner you dragged in looks up at that.
Dragcrell (10:04:23 PM): (eh true)
MilesMk1 (10:04:34 PM): "Sounds good... Just want to be able to keep an eye on her in case she gets worse."
MilesMk1 (10:05:57 PM): "By the way... Do you guys have someone who could do something about these? *points to the wasp stings* I'm what passes for a medic here, and I'm feeling that venom enough that I'd probably do more harm than good."
Thematrian1 (10:06:23 PM): "Anyone?"
EverGuard4 (10:07:03 PM): *makes a small me-too gesture*(
Thematrian1 (10:07:24 PM): There is a resounding silence.
MilesMk1 (10:08:15 PM): "Heh. Allright, I guess you guys have plenty to worry about..."
MilesMk1 (10:08:21 PM): *breaks out the medkit*
Dragcrell (10:08:48 PM): (mmmmmm that was good liver and onions,beets, and mashpotatos)
MilesMk1 (10:09:31 PM): (Interesting. Not what I'd think of as American cuisine.)
Thematrian1 (10:09:44 PM): (insofar as there is such a thing)
Dragcrell (10:09:55 PM): *motions to where the cots are* "I'm going to get some sleep." *heads to the cots*
Thematrian1 (10:10:33 PM): The cots are stacked wherever they will fit in the maze of back rooms. It's not clear where they came from
Dragcrell (10:10:57 PM): (hehehehe ^_^ out here we even grind up the deer hearts to use in sandwiches like you would tuna fish)
MilesMk1 (10:11:00 PM): Looks like my TN is 4: +1 for the wound, -1 for high body.
MilesMk1 (10:11:16 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 4 6
MilesMk1 (10:11:21 PM): Yay!
MilesMk1 (10:11:32 PM): Now, for Rock...
Dragcrell (10:11:32 PM): *picks one that looks like its out of the way and trys to get some sleep*
Thematrian1 (10:11:48 PM): You Aid yourself. Your injuries are soothed, and won't give you much trouble anymore
MilesMk1 (10:12:00 PM): First Aid on Rock.
MilesMk1 (10:12:04 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 2 4
MilesMk1 (10:12:06 PM): Doh.
MilesMk1 (10:12:09 PM): Sorry.
EverGuard4 (10:12:29 PM): ...
MilesMk1 (10:12:39 PM): (Unless you have a body of 7+?)
MilesMk1 (10:12:59 PM): (To counteract that "patient is awakened" problem?)
Thematrian1 (10:13:12 PM): Those are successes
MilesMk1 (10:13:38 PM): They are? Great.
EverGuard4 (10:13:44 PM): nifty
MilesMk1 (10:14:35 PM): *makes a trip to the van for junk food and ammo before they lock down, then settles down to clean his gear and weapons, and rest a bit*
MilesMk1 (10:15:23 PM): Oh, and I also check to make sure the cops haven't choked on vomit or anything before I do.
Dragcrell (10:15:34 PM): (lol)
Thematrian1 (10:15:42 PM): They haven't. They look profoundly unhappy, but they're asleep.
Umbrafer (10:15:53 PM): (Just to double-check, what was Rock's damage level?)
Thematrian1 (10:15:54 PM): One random guy over your shoulder:
Thematrian1 (10:15:58 PM): "What happened there?"
Thematrian1 (10:16:00 PM): (5 boxes)
Thematrian1 (10:17:11 PM): The guy is clearly referring to the cops
MilesMk1 (10:17:28 PM): "Ran into them trying to leave town... First kept them as insurance for getting back in, then because their stories didn't quite add up."
MilesMk1 (10:18:15 PM): "Didn't have a chance to get rid of them in the rush to get Alex to safety..."
MilesMk1 (10:19:10 PM): "Say, you wouldn't happen to have a bug scanner around, would you? I checked them over pretty well with the van sensors, but I'd like to double-check..."
Thematrian1 (10:19:16 PM): "What're you gonna do with 'em?"
Thematrian1 (10:19:24 PM): Alex: you're being carried somewhere.
Umbrafer (10:20:01 PM): I'm going to attempt to verify that it does not appear to involve bugs or hostile people.
MilesMk1 (10:20:15 PM): "Was planning on talking it over with Alex and the rest of the bunch, actually."
MilesMk1 (10:20:45 PM): "Went to so much trouble not to kill any cops at that damn checkpoint, it seemed like a shame to just do away with them."
Thematrian1 (10:21:10 PM): You're being carried gently, by something with arms. The face above you, you do not recognize
Umbrafer (10:21:22 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 4 6 3 5 3
Umbrafer (10:21:25 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Umbrafer (10:21:29 PM): I'm going to accept it for the moment.
Thematrian1 (10:21:48 PM): You're lying on something. It's very soft and pleasant.
Thematrian1 (10:23:47 PM): The random guy nods and withdraws. He seemed more curious than anything
Thematrian1 (10:25:21 PM): It sounds like everyone takes a nap?
MilesMk1 (10:25:39 PM): I check in on Alex first, but yeah, I'm all for that.
Thematrian1 (10:26:43 PM): Alex is as you left her.
Umbrafer (10:27:06 PM): Not quite. A bit less tense, a lot more mostly-asleep. Other than that, yes.
EverGuard4 (10:27:16 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 1 5 2 6 4
Thematrian1 (10:29:13 PM): You all sack out on adjacent cots near Alex, it sounds like. Maybe half a dozen people remain in the garage proper
Umbrafer (10:30:40 PM): *Sleeps soundly for a few hours, fitfully thereafter*
Thematrian1 (10:31:37 PM): The time was, IIRC, about 3am. Four hours later, everyone rolls Perception.
Umbrafer (10:31:43 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 4 3 1 3 5 4 3
Dragcrell (10:31:53 PM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 3 1 1 1 3 5 4
Umbrafer (10:31:54 PM): -2 is my best adjusted result.
Umbrafer (10:31:56 PM): Wait!
Umbrafer (10:31:58 PM): Stun!
Thematrian1 (10:32:06 PM): Yeah, roll off that stun
MilesMk1 (10:32:11 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 5 3 6 1 6
MilesMk1 (10:32:16 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 2
Umbrafer (10:32:24 PM): We assuming that my half-hour for Box 9 ended at about the time we started the 4 hours?
MilesMk1 (10:32:25 PM): 9,8,5
Thematrian1 (10:32:33 PM): Yeah, that sounds fair.
Umbrafer (10:32:48 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 5 2 3 3 3
Umbrafer (10:32:51 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Thematrian1 (10:32:52 PM): Blake awakens to the sound of what sounds like huge, fat raindrops bouncing off of the roof.
Umbrafer (10:33:01 PM): 7 boxes at +1 hour
Umbrafer (10:33:04 PM): Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 4 6 6 5 3

Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

Thematrian1 (10:40:58 PM): could everyone repeat the last few messages please:
Thematrian1 (10:40:58 PM): ?
MilesMk1 (10:41:26 PM): "You guys hear that? *points to the roof* Any idea what's going on?" (this to both Rock and the locals)
Thematrian1 (10:42:00 PM): Jon pasted it for me, thank you
Thematrian1 (10:42:16 PM): "Yeah, we hear it."
MilesMk1 (10:43:25 PM): "So, any clue what it is that's hitting the roof? Sounds a bit heavy for rain."
Thematrian1 (10:44:13 PM): "Wasps, maybe."
Thematrian1 (10:44:22 PM): It doesn't sound heavy enough for wasps. Maybe this is humor.
Thematrian1 (10:44:27 PM): The guy's tone makes it hard to tell.
MilesMk1 (10:46:21 PM): "Mhh-hmm... Seriously, what is it?"
Dragcrell (10:46:26 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 4 5 4

Dragcrell (10:47:15 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 4 6 5
MilesMk1 (10:49:06 PM): "Right, then..." *walks off to a nearest window - or, if as I suspect, this place has no windows, back to the cots.*
Thematrian1 (10:49:28 PM): There were windows, but they're covered with trash bags just now.
MilesMk1 (10:50:05 PM): Ah. Well, unless someone objects, I peel off a corner of a bag enough to look out, then stick it back.
Thematrian1 (10:50:26 PM): No one objects. There's some movement behind you.
Dragcrell (10:50:41 PM): Dragcrell rolled 4 6-sided dice: 2 6 6 6
Thematrian1 (10:50:49 PM): Rock can see that the three have brought their weapons up to aim at the doorway.
EverGuard4 (10:50:57 PM): which doorway?
Thematrian1 (10:51:10 PM): The one that Blake is peeking under the garbagebag at
EverGuard4 (10:51:10 PM): the garage door/doors? or a human-sized doorway?
MilesMk1 (10:51:27 PM): *Quickly takes a look outside before covering the window*
Thematrian1 (10:51:32 PM): Blake sees some brightly-colored pages fluttering through the air
Thematrian1 (10:51:41 PM): human-sized, beside the garage doors
Thematrian1 (10:51:48 PM): Someone has closed the garage doors, by the way

Thematrian1 (10:55:14 PM): The three watch you expectantly, and un-aim their various weapons
MilesMk1 (10:56:01 PM): "They're dropping fucking leaflets... Probably more bullshit about how this all is a HMHVV outbreak and the need to cooperate with the authorites..."
Thematrian1 (10:56:47 PM): There is a collective sigh
MilesMk1 (10:57:27 PM): "I guess they'll still be there in the morning... I don't know about you, but I'm not curious enough to go out and get one just now."
Umbrafer (10:57:49 PM): Would they be heavy enough to cause the noise from the roof?
Thematrian1 (10:57:57 PM): The lady troll nods.
Thematrian1 (10:58:06 PM): They were, yes, though not terribly loud.
Thematrian1 (11:00:14 PM): Actions from anyone elsE?
Dragcrell (11:00:58 PM): *twiches arm in sleep*
Thematrian1 (11:01:52 PM): Trickster: you awaken to see a man you don't recognize standing over Alex. He's wearing a long white coat with a bunch of really gaudy runic-looking things dfrawn on in silver paint
Thematrian1 (11:03:08 PM): Blake, Rock, doing anything exciting?
Dragcrell (11:03:21 PM): "who are you and what is it your doing?"
Thematrian1 (11:03:28 PM): He startles.
EverGuard4 (11:03:36 PM): (sorry)
MilesMk1 (11:03:39 PM): *goes back to the cots*
EverGuard4 (11:03:40 PM): (sec)
Thematrian1 (11:03:43 PM): (k)
MilesMk1 (11:03:55 PM): "Ah... You're the sorcerer they told us about, right?"
Thematrian1 (11:03:59 PM): "Hi, I'm Arty." He turns around; he looks boyish.
Thematrian1 (11:04:02 PM): He startles again.
Thematrian1 (11:04:05 PM): "Yes."
MilesMk1 (11:04:29 PM): "Heard them say you figured those bugs for spirts too. Or something like it."
EverGuard4 (11:04:32 PM): *searching for food and/or signs of the now-departed (or now-hiding) others*
Dragcrell (11:05:12 PM): *looks Arty over*
Thematrian1 (11:05:29 PM): Rock searches. They are neither departed nor hiding, they are merely asleep in various corners. You find a refridgerator; it contains a half-empty bottle of Aztehol.
EverGuard4 (11:05:51 PM): *sighs*
Dragcrell (11:05:51 PM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 6 1 5 2 3 4 1

Thematrian1 (11:06:14 PM): "Yes, I'm sure of it."
Thematrian1 (11:06:20 PM): He extends a hand for Blake to shake.
MilesMk1 (11:06:26 PM): *shakes hand*
Thematrian1 (11:06:59 PM): Arty's grip is weak. Rock walks in on this scene.
Thematrian1 (11:07:04 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 2 4 1 2 6 6 2 6 4 2 3 5 4 4
Thematrian1 (11:07:35 PM): Arty studies Blake carefully for a moment, then Trickster, then Rock as he enters.
EverGuard4 (11:07:47 PM): *assense*
Thematrian1 (11:08:01 PM): roll it
Dragcrell (11:08:02 PM): "so how she doing?"
Thematrian1 (11:08:16 PM): His gaze lingers on Rock. He looks perplexed.
Thematrian1 (11:08:55 PM): "I didn't try to heal her, yet."
Thematrian1 (11:09:07 PM): "She...it's not going to be easy."
Dragcrell (11:09:31 PM): "Oh?"
EverGuard4 (11:09:52 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 6 5 4 6 3 5 3 6 6
EverGuard4 (11:10:01 PM): damn...
EverGuard4 (11:10:07 PM): why do I roll well solely when assensing?
Umbrafer (11:10:10 PM): (.24 Essence. Oh yeah.)
Thematrian1 (11:10:21 PM): "It's harder, the more disconnected a person is from their natural state. On you it would be easy." ::he indicates Trickster:: "On you, hard." ::indicates Blake::
Thematrian1 (11:10:45 PM): "On her?" He looks deeply unhappy, like a puppy without his toys.
Dragcrell (11:11:02 PM): (lol dame rock should beable to pin point neary every thaing abotu the guy with that roll :3)
EverGuard4 (11:11:06 PM): "Cheer up."
MilesMk1 (11:12:46 PM): *raises an eyebrow expectantly*
Dragcrell (11:12:51 PM): "You can help right?"
Thematrian1 (11:13:22 PM): "I can try."
Thematrian1 (11:13:34 PM): Sigrun has apparently been moved at some point, by the way; she's not in the room anymore.
Umbrafer (11:13:59 PM): Was she hurt? *Not sure if he missed something*
Thematrian1 (11:14:25 PM): She was unconscious in the room. No visible injuries.
MilesMk1 (11:14:31 PM): Sigrun was around? Huh.
Thematrian1 (11:14:41 PM): Yes, they explicitly put Alex near her.
MilesMk1 (11:15:17 PM): I sort of missed that too, in the confusion...
Umbrafer (11:15:18 PM): I'd gotten that part, it was the being in a state where she'd get moved instead of moving herself that I hadn't caught.
Thematrian1 (11:15:26 PM): Ah, sorry.
Dragcrell (11:17:02 PM): *looks at Blake and Rock* "what got you two up anyway?"
Thematrian1 (11:17:20 PM): Arty turns back to Alex and makes a great show of examining her.
EverGuard4 (11:17:43 PM): *watches Arty*
MilesMk1 (11:18:27 PM): "There were leaflets being dropped - heard them on the roof, got up to take a look."
Thematrian1 (11:19:24 PM): The astrally aware see Arty's aura flare as he casts a spell:

Dragcrell (11:20:07 PM): *nods then watches Arty work* "Well hope he can help dont like the idea of being stuck here."
Thematrian1 (11:20:56 PM): Alex: you awaken. Your head feels much clearer than last night, and your injuries don't hurt nearly as much.
Thematrian1 (11:21:35 PM): (Alex recovers two boxes of physical damage. She's now at a mere +5 or so for wound mods)
Umbrafer (11:21:53 PM): *Doesn't open eyes, is shaking slightly*
Dragcrell (11:22:50 PM): "Hey you ok there?"
MilesMk1 (11:23:24 PM): "How are you feeling?"

MilesMk1 (11:24:04 PM): *glances over at Arty*
Umbrafer (11:24:19 PM): *Very long pause* "Like I got run over by a train."
Umbrafer (11:25:03 PM): *Opens eyes* "What… happened?"
Thematrian1 (11:25:27 PM): Arty steps out of the line between Alex and her teammates
MilesMk1 (11:26:50 PM): "Just now? One of Sigrun's guys tried to heal you - I guess it worked?"
Dragcrell (11:27:27 PM): "longer the one cop hit you twice with something hit me as well."
Umbrafer (11:27:41 PM): *Turns head slightly, looks at Arty*
Umbrafer (11:27:44 PM): Do I recognize him?
Thematrian1 (11:27:59 PM): No.
Umbrafer (11:28:49 PM): "New guy, huh? Thanks…"
Thematrian1 (11:29:19 PM): He looks like he's about to speak, but restrains himself.
Umbrafer (11:30:25 PM): *Grits teeth, mostly closes eyes for a second, shaking intensifies slightly and is then brought under control again* *Shifts attention back to Blake* "What happened to the cops?"
MilesMk1 (11:32:15 PM): "Still have them around, actually. And I'm not convinced they're really cops."
Umbrafer (11:32:45 PM): "Yeah…"

Dragcrell (11:34:09 PM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 1 6 2 1 2 4 3
Dragcrell (11:34:26 PM): Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
Thematrian1 (11:37:10 PM): He doesn't reply.
Dragcrell (11:37:38 PM): "why did you cast the detection spell?"
Thematrian1 (11:38:09 PM): "I'm just looking around outside the building."
EverGuard4 (11:38:33 PM): EverGuard4 rolled 9 6-sided dice: 3 1 5 1 2 5 5 6 5
Umbrafer (11:39:12 PM): "If Sigrun put him here, he's clean. Don't worry."
MilesMk1 (11:39:35 PM): "Detection spell? Does this have something to do with the problems you've had earlier when your friends turned on you?"
Dragcrell (11:39:49 PM): "if you seen some the shit we did out side you woudl be wonderign as well."
Thematrian1 (11:40:43 PM): Arty focuses on Blake. "It's not that. I did that when I met you, tried at least. It's just a simple clairvoyence spell."

Dragcrell (11:41:57 PM): (lol ^_^
MilesMk1 (11:42:28 PM): "All right."
Dragcrell (11:42:49 PM): "Bullshit!"
Thematrian1 (11:42:54 PM): "I'll let you get acquainted. I'll try to..."
Thematrian1 (11:43:00 PM): He stumbles to a stop when Trickster speaks
Dragcrell (11:43:24 PM): "Whats realy going on?"
Thematrian1 (11:43:53 PM): "I told you the truth." He shudders momentarily. "There, the spell's off."
Dragcrell (11:44:20 PM): "like hell you did"
MilesMk1 (11:44:35 PM): "What's the problem, Trickster?" *looks over at Rock to see his reaction to all this*
Dragcrell (11:45:00 PM): "He lie thats what and I want to know why"
Thematrian1 (11:45:28 PM): "It's a simple spell. And if you want to talk about lying..." He cuts himself off.
MilesMk1 (11:46:07 PM): "What do you mean? Lie about what?" *leans in to whisper* "You have been known to overreact in the past..."
MilesMk1 (11:46:40 PM): "What about lying, Arty?"
MilesMk1 (11:46:53 PM): *reaches up to rub his temples*
Thematrian1 (11:47:01 PM): Arty's, or your own?
Dragcrell (11:47:05 PM): "he lied about it all thats what and after all the shit thats going on I want to kow why he cast it."
MilesMk1 (11:47:32 PM): Heh. Mine.
EverGuard4 (11:47:47 PM): *waves* out for tonight
EverGuard4 has left the chat room.

Thematrian1 (11:49:26 PM): "I came in here to heal your friend, after I woke up from fighting bug spirits. That's all." He looks hurt.
MilesMk1 (11:50:30 PM): "And we're grateful... I'm sure you have your reasons for doing... whatever that was with the clairvoyance spell."
Dragcrell (11:51:25 PM): *just glares at Arty*
Thematrian1 (11:51:45 PM): Arty edges toward the door. Unless someone stops him, he leaves
MilesMk1 (11:51:52 PM): "Thank you!"
Thematrian1 (11:52:04 PM): He gives Blake a quick smile.
MilesMk1 (11:52:26 PM): *leans over to Trickster* "What did he lie about? Why he cast the spell? Or what he cast?"
Dragcrell (11:52:49 PM): "both somethings going on here"
MilesMk1 (11:53:29 PM): "Can you try to explain this better? Are you sure he's not just being careful around strangers?"
MilesMk1 (11:54:09 PM): *whisperring* (and talking quitely the whole time, actually) "If these people were out to get us, they could have done it when we were all sleeping, right?"
Dragcrell (11:55:00 PM): "it was a detection spell of some kind but not the one he said it was and it was not for the resion he stated he was Nervous and groggy as well."
MilesMk1 (11:55:50 PM): "Well, they said he was tired from fighting the wasps earlier... That'd explain groggy..."
MilesMk1 (11:57:10 PM): "I think he was just checking up on us to make sure we weren't... Bug-tainted, or whatever."
Dragcrell (11:57:47 PM): "Wish we had foudn out what and why I just hope your right."
Umbrafer (11:58:02 PM): *Sits up* "Is… is there a bathroom around?"
MilesMk1 (11:58:49 PM): "Hold on, I'll check." *goes to ask the natives about it, and arrange a female escort if Alex needs help walking*
Umbrafer (11:58:54 PM): *Lies back down, tries sitting up again but much more slowly*
Dragcrell (11:59:01 PM): *grunts* "I dont like it when a mage lies to you."
Thematrian1 (12:00:01 AM): The natives direct you to a bathroom. Finding a female person is more work, but you eventually locate one in one of the shops, doing something to an Ares Alpha and swearing a lot.
Thematrian1 (12:02:18 AM): Alex is conveyed to a bathroom, and eventually back.
Thematrian1 (12:02:36 AM): Unless there's something more that needs doing right away, see you all next week?
MilesMk1 (12:02:42 AM): Sounds good.
Umbrafer (12:02:58 AM): *Tries to avoid dripping too much blood from hands along the way, probably doesn't succeed too well*
Dragcrell (12:03:00 AM): ^_^ ok hehehehe no one gets a fur hat to night at lest ;3
Umbrafer (12:03:02 AM): Sounds good.
MilesMk1 (12:03:38 AM): Just one thing... Do we get Karma for anything, by any chance?
Umbrafer (12:04:19 AM): (Or karma pool refreshing)
MilesMk1 (12:04:24 AM): Blood? I don't think Alex is bloody, as such... All she has in terms of external injuries are dart wounds, no?
Thematrian1 (12:05:05 AM): Ah, good point. Karma pools refresh, and everyone gets 6 karma for the events of the last few game hours, most notably the rescue at Sigrun's.
Umbrafer (12:05:23 AM): And several new gashes across her palms, which she's trying to avoid making known.
Thematrian1 (12:05:58 AM): ::drip drip drip::
Thematrian1 (12:06:11 AM): Blake's impression matches your own, Matt.
Dragcrell (12:07:00 AM): hehehe ok well have fun ^_^
Dragcrell has left the chat room.

MilesMk1 (12:07:27 AM): Gashes across palms? Is this something that'll kill us all horribly?
MilesMk1 (12:07:37 AM): Bah. I guess Blake has no clue.
Thematrian1 (12:07:50 AM): IF so, it's not something that Blake...right,
MilesMk1 (12:08:22 AM): All right, see you guys Thurday, probably.
Thematrian1 (12:08:29 AM): ok, sleep well
Thematrian1 (12:08:37 AM): come to that, I'd better go home and get to bed
MilesMk1 (12:08:58 AM): Good night.
MilesMk1 has left the chat room.
