Dragcrell (8:32:57 PM): *Walks in with a body bag in hand* ummmmm just in case >_>..........<_<
Thematrian1 (8:33:05 PM): hey, hey
Thematrian1 (8:33:10 PM): why would you be worried about that?
MilesMk1 (8:33:32 PM): Yeah. You regenerate.
Dragcrell (8:33:51 PM): lets see 9 floor fall >_> would like to see much of ANY THAING walk away from that one
MilesMk1 (8:33:59 PM): Of course, you also seem to get hurt a lot more...
Dragcrell (8:34:19 PM): *cough* ya and theres that *cough*
MilesMk1 (8:34:52 PM): I'd probably survive it, if we used the cannon companion rules...
Thematrian1 (8:35:00 PM): how do those go again?
Thematrian1 (8:35:11 PM): I only remember the hard-core death-for-tripping-on-the-sidewalk ones
MilesMk1 (8:35:14 PM): Power = 1/2 distance in meters fallen
Thematrian1 (8:35:28 PM): code, though?
MilesMk1 (8:35:50 PM): Damage level L for 1-2 meters, M 3-6, S 7-20 and D 21+
Dragcrell (8:35:59 PM): hehehehe well with Trick only haveing a 4 in bod >_> *shivers* I see him going SPLAT!
MilesMk1 (8:36:06 PM): Half impact armor applies.
Umbrafer (8:36:18 PM): Just to let everyone know: Bron's having some trouble logging in, he should be here in at most ten minutes.
Thematrian1 (8:36:22 PM): 9 stories, that'd be in the 12-14D range, I'd think
Thematrian1 (8:36:30 PM): that's good. And Adam?
Umbrafer (8:36:31 PM): (It's the old "you have been logging on and off too frequently" message.)
Umbrafer (8:36:51 PM): Adam no word from. He called me about forty minutes ago, but I missed it and he didn't leave a message. My return call was not answered.
MilesMk1 (8:37:34 PM): Between high body, combat pool, and Karma, I could soak it down to a serious. Probably.
Umbrafer (8:37:34 PM): He just called
Umbrafer (8:37:47 PM): Running late, ~15 minutes.
Dragcrell (8:37:54 PM): ya that could suck tho the bugs *snorts* hell there no worry well..................as long as its only stays the 3 >_>
Umbrafer (8:38:19 PM): The code is, as you noticed, basically the ramming code divided by ten.
MilesMk1 (8:38:54 PM): So... Yeah. If anyone needs to jump, I'd reccommend getting down to ~7th floor first.
Thematrian1 (8:39:26 PM): good advice this
Dragcrell (8:39:40 PM): lol well then again what are the chances of me rolling a 1 or would it be a 1-2 in that case?
MilesMk1 (8:39:51 PM): 16.666%
Umbrafer (8:39:59 PM): :)
MilesMk1 (8:40:08 PM): Can you re-roll that with Karma?
Thematrian1 (8:40:20 PM): no
MilesMk1 (8:40:24 PM): Ouch.
MilesMk1 (8:40:33 PM): Poor shifters. :P
Thematrian1 (8:40:36 PM): well, it's not instant death
Umbrafer (8:40:42 PM): Well, arguably you can. Most people call it a "Hand of God", though.
Thematrian1 (8:40:51 PM): yeah, ok
Thematrian1 (8:40:54 PM): that would do the job, all right
Dragcrell (8:40:58 PM): *shackes head* nope tho good part on that one I well need a shit load of medical treatment
Dragcrell (8:41:23 PM): its the force weapons that is just plane ass nasty
MilesMk1 (8:41:38 PM): Force weapons?
Dragcrell (8:41:42 PM): fail that sucker insto dead
Umbrafer (8:42:07 PM): Whatsitcalled. Weapon foci.
MilesMk1 (8:42:10 PM): Ah.
Dragcrell (8:42:20 PM): hell dont even get to roll for regn unless you sussed the first roll
MilesMk1 (8:42:27 PM): I was wondering why he was worried about getting hit with orbital particle beams. :P
Dragcrell (8:42:37 PM): lol
Dragcrell (8:43:36 PM): I'm just glade being forced throew a ward is only ForceD stun
Dragcrell (8:46:16 PM): tho a GM I know hates that idea *chucles*
MilesMk1 (8:46:37 PM): I just looked through the section on spirits. I have to say, I was happier before I did.
Dragcrell (8:46:48 PM): lol
Thematrian1 (8:46:52 PM): and bug spirits are special
Thematrian1 (8:46:57 PM): all kinds of special
MilesMk1 (8:46:59 PM): ...yeah.
Dragcrell (8:47:25 PM): hehehehe just call me Mr. All you can SUCK
Thematrian1 (8:51:07 PM): so, I successfully rocked out today, thank you all for your recommendations
MilesMk1 (8:51:23 PM): Congratulations.
MilesMk1 (8:51:31 PM): What did you go with?
Dragcrell (8:51:32 PM): *chcucles* thats good passed then I take it
Thematrian1 (8:51:34 PM): hey, it doesn't come naturally
Thematrian1 (8:51:53 PM): something by Monster Magnet, if you've even heard of them (I hadn't)
Dragcrell (8:52:18 PM): nope but then I'm not in to keeping taps on stuff like that
MilesMk1 (8:52:51 PM): Heard the name, but that's about it.
Thematrian1 (8:53:02 PM): called 'All Shook Out' It's about nuclear war and hedonism
Dragcrell (8:53:17 PM): ahhh ok
Umbrafer (8:53:51 PM): Is anyone here familiar with debugging strange AIM/Gaim connection issues?
Dragcrell (8:54:10 PM): nope
MilesMk1 (8:54:11 PM): Meh. The idea of performing in public... *painful memories of being forced to participate in grade school productions surfacing*
Thematrian1 (8:54:14 PM): nay
Thematrian1 (8:54:16 PM): heh
MilesMk1 (8:54:21 PM): Nope.
Thematrian1 (8:54:30 PM): I've performed in public in exchange for money, even. But not rock, God no.
Thematrian1 (8:54:42 PM): Good old S&G, Kris Kristofferson, that's the way
MilesMk1 (8:55:16 PM): So, did you wear a leather jacket?
MilesMk1 (8:55:25 PM): Tie anything around the microphone?
Thematrian1 (8:55:34 PM): leather vest; couldn't borrow a leather jacket in anyhing approximating the right size
MilesMk1 (8:56:10 PM): Was the "surprising" haircut of any help? :p
Thematrian1 (8:56:47 PM): hell no
Thematrian1 (8:56:50 PM): I wore a wig
Thematrian1 (8:56:54 PM): I should do that all the time
MilesMk1 (8:58:31 PM): Heh... I'm usually not too worried about haircut mishaps, since I can live with the way I look with my head shaved.
MilesMk1 (8:58:45 PM): So I have that to fall back on. :)
Thematrian1 (8:59:06 PM): good call. With a shaved head I look like Lex Luthor on his worst day
Dragcrell (8:59:06 PM): lol
Dragcrell (8:59:21 PM): the EVIL GM look eh
MilesMk1 (9:01:19 PM): I should lose weight, though... My face is a little too round for really short hair right now.
MilesMk1 (9:01:31 PM): And it'd be so convenient...
Thematrian1 (9:02:00 PM): mmm. Do you have to worry about a sunburned scalp?
MilesMk1 (9:02:11 PM): I don't burn that easily...
MilesMk1 (9:02:34 PM): I haven't done it in a while, though.
MilesMk1 (9:02:52 PM): But it'd be so convenient...
Thematrian1 (9:04:13 PM): sounds like you know what you want
Umbrafer (9:04:20 PM): (He's downloading another client as a stopgap measure)
Thematrian1 (9:04:42 PM): We need some Gedeon...ah
Thematrian1 (9:06:30 PM): but yeah, normally my policy is "if we're only missing one person, go on without them unless it's the GM"
Thematrian1 (9:06:53 PM): for this...encounter, I'd like the whole group in on it
EverGuard4 has entered the chat room.

Umbrafer (9:07:08 PM): Man, we can go on without the GM.
EverGuard4 (9:07:11 PM): okies... sorry about that, everyone
MilesMk1 (9:07:15 PM): Well, yeah it'd be good for Gedeon to be present for this.
MilesMk1 (9:07:22 PM): np
Thematrian1 (9:07:53 PM): meanwhile, everyone go find out what your initiative was and post it
Umbrafer (9:08:31 PM): 30, IIRC.
EverGuard4 (9:08:35 PM): 14?
Thematrian1 (9:09:22 PM): Jon, would you please post the run if you haven't?
MilesMk1 (9:09:53 PM): I think I was at 23/
Dragcrell (9:09:55 PM): easy 8 as we was comenting on how it was better then a 1 lol
MilesMk1 (9:09:59 PM): There's Gedeon.
MilesMk1 (9:10:05 PM): I thought Rock had 11.
Gedeon Ogoun has entered the chat room.

Thematrian1 (9:10:20 PM): greater than ten, I remember that
MilesMk1 (9:10:31 PM): Yeah, definitely.
Umbrafer (9:10:54 PM): I will, I don't think I have.
Gedeon Ogoun (9:11:16 PM): hello...sorry, I had to make a deal with the devil to get in here tonight
Thematrian1 (9:11:27 PM): Gedeon, what was your initiative?
Gedeon Ogoun (9:11:45 PM): I believe it was 20
Thematrian1 (9:11:57 PM): ok then
Thematrian1 (9:12:08 PM): The giant fucking mosquito acts first
Dragcrell (9:12:20 PM): (ya go me last woot lol)
MilesMk1 (9:12:38 PM): Ah, good. I'm so glad I volunteered to go first.
Thematrian1 (9:12:48 PM): Hey, Alex goes before you
MilesMk1 (9:13:04 PM): I meant, first in line down the stairs.
Thematrian1 (9:13:09 PM): ah
MilesMk1 (9:13:26 PM): ...which you might not have remembered until I brought it up.
Thematrian1 (9:13:28 PM): that's true. Trickster was pulling rear guard, I think?
Dragcrell (9:13:36 PM): yep
Gedeon Ogoun (9:13:45 PM): I'm somewhere in the middle
Umbrafer (9:13:48 PM): It's up.
Thematrian1 (9:13:53 PM): It's zipping down the stairs toward Gedeon's battered spirit, but switches attention to Trickster as it approaches
Thematrian1 (9:13:55 PM): thank you Jon
Thematrian1 (9:14:26 PM): Trickster, it tries to plunge its proboscis into your chest. Melee combat!

Umbrafer (9:16:05 PM): Blake: 23
Thematrian1 (9:16:07 PM): Trickster, you almost dodge. Instead of getting stuck in the heart, it plunges into your upper arm. Resist 10M
Dragcrell (9:16:22 PM): >_> oh thats good
Umbrafer (9:16:27 PM): And Trickster with his 8.
Thematrian1 (9:16:34 PM): Thank you.

EverGuard4 (9:17:15 PM): (then I mis-reported... or some other factor affects me that I didn't know about... *shrugs*)

Thematrian1 (9:17:25 PM): Next in line is Alex.
Umbrafer (9:17:31 PM): Oh holy…
Umbrafer (9:17:45 PM): Did anyone Speak A Word at me? *Hint hint*
MilesMk1 (9:17:46 PM): I think he means for actions, not getting stuck.
Umbrafer (9:17:56 PM): No, I mean
Thematrian1 (9:17:59 PM): yeah, Alex gets an action now
Umbrafer (9:18:00 PM): The thing moved before me.
Thematrian1 (9:18:07 PM): Trickster: what's your impact armor?
Thematrian1 (9:18:09 PM): that's true
Thematrian1 (9:18:10 PM): it sure did
Dragcrell (9:18:42 PM): *thinks* what coat was I useing >_> the long coat or the duster cna't remvber

Thematrian1 (9:19:10 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 1 4 5 1 3 5 3 4 4 2 4 4 1 6

Dragcrell (9:19:42 PM): 2
Dragcrell (9:19:48 PM): for impact
MilesMk1 (9:19:51 PM): #Bugs.#
Umbrafer (9:20:02 PM): Deploying a Strato-9.
Thematrian1 (9:20:17 PM): Trickster: you take an L. Getting stabbed by a proboscis is less painful than you'd expected
Dragcrell (9:20:51 PM): (*sigh* can't wait untill I can get enufe cash saved up for the new comp case yay)
Thematrian1 (9:21:06 PM): Your Strato-9 roams free.
Thematrian1 (9:21:08 PM): Blake
MilesMk1 (9:21:40 PM): I engage the mosquito, making a Willpower attack with the staff.
MilesMk1 (9:22:10 PM): What's my friends in melee mod?
Thematrian1 (9:22:14 PM): ok. The stairwell is only wide enough for two, or one mosquito
Thematrian1 (9:22:17 PM): 1 point
Thematrian1 (9:22:30 PM): raising or lowering?
Umbrafer (9:22:38 PM): At least it's only wide enough for one mosquito.
MilesMk1 (9:23:00 PM): Can't I do both? Use 2 points of reach to raise his, and then the last point to lower mine to 3?
Thematrian1 (9:23:08 PM): indeed
MilesMk1 (9:23:14 PM): I do that, then.
MilesMk1 (9:23:19 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 8 6-sided dice: 6 2 2 1 6 4 2 2
Thematrian1 (9:23:19 PM): so, 3 for you, 6 for him? Roll 'em.
MilesMk1 (9:23:26 PM): Son of a...
Thematrian1 (9:23:27 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 5 6 6 5 2 6 5 4 1 4 3 6 3 5
Thematrian1 (9:23:35 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 2 3 5 1 3 4 1 2 3 3 4 4 3 1 5
Thematrian1 (9:23:42 PM): 3 successes?
MilesMk1 (9:23:48 PM): Yeah.
Umbrafer (9:23:53 PM): Heh, and I was going to suggest lowering yours by two, raising his by one.
MilesMk1 (9:24:08 PM): I think my approach was statistically sound...
Umbrafer (9:24:34 PM): That's probably true, which is why I ended up not saying it. *Dig*
Thematrian1 (9:24:37 PM): You try to whack the mosquito, but it's astonishingly agile in the fair. It bobs away, then closes and slashes at you with its legs. Resist 10M
Thematrian1 (9:24:49 PM): (It is. If he has more dice than you, you want to raise his TNs)
MilesMk1 (9:24:50 PM): Grr.
MilesMk1 (9:25:12 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 12 6-sided dice: 2 1 3 3 5 5 3 2 4 4 4 2
Umbrafer (9:25:21 PM): (And that last point halves his successes, too. Yeah, it was the call.)
Thematrian1 (9:25:36 PM): (It was correct, it just didn't work)
Thematrian1 (9:25:42 PM): ouch. How much impact does Blake sport?
MilesMk1 (9:25:47 PM): 7
MilesMk1 (9:25:50 PM): :D
Thematrian1 (9:26:05 PM): ah, ok. He never touches your face, and nothing else matters.
Thematrian1 (9:26:13 PM): Gedeon, it's all you
Gedeon Ogoun (9:26:53 PM): do I have a melee attack?
Gedeon Ogoun (9:26:59 PM): with bonuses?
Thematrian1 (9:27:15 PM): there's no room, unless one of the other two drops back
Gedeon Ogoun (9:27:23 PM): ok...manabolt
Thematrian1 (9:27:34 PM): go for it
Gedeon Ogoun (9:27:36 PM): force 6
Gedeon Ogoun (9:27:42 PM): serious level
Gedeon Ogoun (9:27:49 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 12 6-sided dice: 5 4 3 6 2 2 3 1 6 4 2 1
Thematrian1 (9:27:51 PM): all right

Thematrian1 (9:28:15 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 5 3 1 1 5 6 4 1 5 6 3 2 6 2
Gedeon Ogoun (9:28:23 PM): no drain
Gedeon Ogoun (9:29:52 PM): *zap*
Thematrian1 (9:29:55 PM): check. Your manabolt connects. The bug sizzles, and emits a terrible stench.
Thematrian1 (9:30:20 PM): Rock's action. IIRC he was with Alex?
EverGuard4 (9:30:31 PM): he stayed upstairs...
Thematrian1 (9:31:14 PM): ah. So you're with Samantha? What were you doing up there?
EverGuard4 (9:31:34 PM): just chilling.
Thematrian1 (9:31:43 PM): Rock chills. Trickster
EverGuard4 (9:31:45 PM): If I realize the others have engaged, I'll begin moving towards them.
Umbrafer (9:31:49 PM): Rock is one chill dude.
EverGuard4 (9:31:53 PM): If not, *chill*
Dragcrell (9:32:16 PM): any more bugs close to my location?
Thematrian1 (9:32:36 PM): just the one that stabbed you
Dragcrell (9:32:59 PM): still alive or dead?
Thematrian1 (9:33:04 PM): it's alvie
Dragcrell (9:33:16 PM): *nods* sluge the sob then

Gedeon Ogoun (9:34:45 PM): 17, 9, 8
Gedeon Ogoun (9:35:05 PM): oooh...sorry
Thematrian1 (9:35:07 PM): The buzzing sounds of the mosquitos' wings suddenly intensifies, but only Blake notices.
Thematrian1 (9:35:51 PM): Trickster: you punch the mosquito in the eye. It doesn't really seem to notice, though
Dragcrell (9:36:26 PM): (weeee ^_^)
Thematrian1 (9:36:31 PM): back around to the mosquito

Dragcrell (9:37:24 PM): (eww >_>)
Umbrafer (9:37:58 PM): (Some staircases have windows. Not this one, I take it?)
Thematrian1 (9:38:42 PM): oh yuck. Trickster, resist 10S
Thematrian1 (9:38:50 PM): (Not here. On a landing above, you remember passing one)
Dragcrell (9:38:52 PM): *wences*

MilesMk1 (9:40:42 PM): #A window one landing up from us, on the <x> floor.#
Thematrian1 (9:40:57 PM): Trickster gets a proboscis thicker than his thumb right to the throat
Thematrian1 (9:41:13 PM): Gedeon, you get a great view of the tip sticking out the other side, then retractign
Dragcrell (9:41:15 PM): >_< oooo going to be filling that one for a bit
Umbrafer (9:41:19 PM): Oww…

Thematrian1 (9:43:10 PM): you know that they're on a staircase. Beyond that, you've got nothing
Dragcrell (9:43:27 PM): (Trick loves PAIN can't you tell lol)

Thematrian1 (9:44:42 PM): zoom. How high up are you going?
Thematrian1 (9:44:53 PM): Meanwhile, Blake gets an action
Umbrafer (9:45:32 PM): Up to about the area they'd be at. I knew the floor they were leaving and that they haven't gone far, so I should be able to get close enough that my vertical distance doesn't matter, I'd think
MilesMk1 (9:45:42 PM): Another willpower attack on the mosquito. This time, lowering my TN to 2 and raising his by 1. Oh, and do I have a clue where I am?

Thematrian1 (9:49:36 PM): you smash it in the eye, which explodes with a burst of green fluid. It falls to the staircase, and stops moving.
MilesMk1 (9:49:48 PM): Yay!
Thematrian1 (9:50:14 PM): Gedeon
Gedeon Ogoun (9:50:25 PM): can I attack the one in front of me with sword?

Gedeon Ogoun (9:52:52 PM): oooh...so sorry...
Gedeon Ogoun (9:53:14 PM): four
MilesMk1 (9:53:23 PM): You get to re-roll one more die, though.
Umbrafer (9:53:27 PM): He did
Thematrian1 (9:53:29 PM): he did
Umbrafer (9:53:30 PM): That was the one
MilesMk1 (9:53:32 PM): Doh.
Gedeon Ogoun (9:53:59 PM): how bad is it?
Thematrian1 (9:54:10 PM): yeah. You stab at it with your monosword, but it jigs above you and goes for the face. Resist 10S
Umbrafer (9:54:22 PM): Yow.

Umbrafer (9:55:44 PM): Phew.
Gedeon Ogoun (9:55:58 PM): "Sucka!"
Thematrian1 (9:56:01 PM): 4 successes. Instead of planting a proboscis in your eye, it gets one over the collarbone. No fun at all, but you're alive
Gedeon Ogoun (9:56:17 PM): (bad pun intended)
Thematrian1 (9:56:35 PM): (The war-serving battlemage punster. Oh yes)
Thematrian1 (9:56:53 PM): Rock resembles a villain.
Thematrian1 (9:56:57 PM): Trickster doesn't act
Umbrafer (9:57:18 PM): Neither does the skeeter, hopefully…
Thematrian1 (9:57:23 PM): mosquito goes. A mosquito passes through the ceiling above, but it isn't close enough to attack, yet
Thematrian1 (9:57:34 PM): (Heh, it goes before Alex. It's got actions to spare)
Umbrafer (9:57:59 PM): (I meant the one that crashed to the floor)

MilesMk1 (10:07:46 PM): Good...
Thematrian1 (10:07:54 PM): It acts, attacking Gedeon yet again.
Thematrian1 (10:07:58 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 3 2 3 1 4 6 3 6 6 4 1 4 2 5
Gedeon Ogoun (10:08:04 PM): friend in melee?
Thematrian1 (10:08:13 PM): belay that; Gedeon, what do you want to do with FiM?
Thematrian1 (10:08:14 PM): yes
Gedeon Ogoun (10:08:22 PM): up his...
Thematrian1 (10:08:35 PM): oh yes; Gedeon, roll Willpower versus TN 7 and tell me how many successes you come up with

Thematrian1 (10:11:02 PM): You shred a wing. This doesn't prevent the mosquito from flying, though.
Dragcrell has left the chat room.

Thematrian1 (10:11:27 PM): Meanwhile, the other other mosquito is swooping down toward Trickster, but it can't act this Turn
EverGuard4 (10:11:38 PM): (in a few minutes I'll have to disappear for 10-15 as I change location)
Umbrafer (10:11:38 PM): (Did he just leave twice?)
Thematrian1 (10:11:44 PM): (Sure did)

EverGuard4 has left the chat room.

Dragcrell (10:16:11 PM): (7 fun >_> well can't get much worse at lest)
Thematrian1 (10:16:14 PM): The mosquito fighting Blake and Gedeon goes astral, and slips through the wall.
Thematrian1 (10:16:50 PM): The fresh one wants to pass Trickster, but there isn't space. It attacks him instead.

Thematrian1 (10:20:56 PM): ok. Blake?
Umbrafer (10:20:56 PM): Other than that, not much I can do.
MilesMk1 (10:21:17 PM): Currently, there's only one visible mosquito, the one fighting Trickster, right?

Thematrian1 (10:22:47 PM): Gedeon?
Gedeon Ogoun (10:23:05 PM): with astral perception I still can't see the missing bug?
MilesMk1 (10:23:29 PM): Unpleasant? We have new and entirely different stanards for unpleasant since our last job. ;)
Thematrian1 (10:23:35 PM): it's on the wrong end of the wall
Thematrian1 (10:23:37 PM): true
Thematrian1 (10:23:47 PM): it's far less unpleasant than most of the zombie stuff
Gedeon Ogoun (10:23:47 PM): manabolt the one I can see

Dragcrell (10:25:00 PM): ya but you wasn't IMPALED!
Umbrafer (10:25:21 PM): (I was thinking in terms of the undead mages. If we hadn't had that thermite…)
Thematrian1 (10:25:24 PM): the mosquito fries again. This time you get to see the oozing eye-stuff carmelize. Still less nasty than the zombies, though
Gedeon Ogoun (10:25:40 PM): still alive???
Thematrian1 (10:25:44 PM): yep
Gedeon Ogoun (10:25:47 PM): bugger
Thematrian1 (10:25:51 PM): yep
MilesMk1 (10:26:09 PM): Heh... I had to resist D damage twice in the wasp fight... But yeah, I know you meant the mages. BRB.

MilesMk1 (10:30:53 PM): What do we do about Rock?
Umbrafer (10:31:01 PM): I continue doing what I was doing until informed of the end of the fight, then check in on the area around the van.
Dragcrell (10:31:23 PM): drag his ass down? *sruges*

MilesMk1 (10:31:57 PM): "Aw, shit."

Gedeon Ogoun (10:33:29 PM): "Ogoun will track down the bugs, and extract justice"

MilesMk1 (10:34:23 PM): *looks confused*
MilesMk1 (10:34:44 PM): #Still in the staricase, bugs ran for it, trying to herd everyone down. Rock's draggging ass.#

MilesMk1 (10:35:45 PM): #And this new guy seems to be talking about himself in the third person now after getting bitten.#
Thematrian1 (10:35:46 PM): you descend a level; there's a window on the landing
Gedeon Ogoun (10:35:48 PM): (keeping astral perception on, watching for more buggers)
MilesMk1 (10:36:05 PM): *tells Alex what he can see through the window*
MilesMk1 (10:36:31 PM): *tries to stay positioned in a way that'll let him protect as many people as possible if the bugs come back*
Umbrafer (10:36:44 PM): Going to try to use that to locate them.
Thematrian1 (10:37:28 PM): All right. You circle the building and spot a window. It's tinted, but you pick out some heat signatures on the other side.
Thematrian1 (10:40:09 PM): You all hang out on the seventh floor landing. It's a bit crowded, but not drastic
Umbrafer (10:40:14 PM): #Found you. Let's get out of here.#
Gedeon Ogoun (10:40:24 PM): *keeping moving*
Umbrafer (10:40:32 PM): I follow along, roughly. Everything quiet back at the van?
MilesMk1 (10:40:51 PM): "Alex finally located us... If they come back, she can help out." *keeps running*
Dragcrell (10:41:04 PM): *makes shoure Rock's with the group and keeps with the others*
Gedeon Ogoun (10:41:31 PM): *wonders who this mysterious Rock is, and how useful he is in a fight*
Thematrian1 (10:41:55 PM): (You met him very briefly last week. Big musclar hispanic guy, six feet tall, screwy aura)
Gedeon Ogoun (10:42:07 PM): *still wondering....*
Thematrian1 (10:42:31 PM): You hit the streets. Nothing tries to kill you
MilesMk1 (10:42:45 PM): *covers the retreat to the van*
Gedeon Ogoun (10:42:58 PM): "Where did you put the boxes?"
MilesMk1 (10:43:09 PM): Oops.
MilesMk1 (10:43:21 PM): I assume I picked them up when they stopped trying to kill us.
Gedeon Ogoun (10:43:31 PM): no, you had carried them down prior to me leaving
MilesMk1 (10:43:35 PM): True.
MilesMk1 (10:43:46 PM): They're in the back of the van, then.
Thematrian1 (10:43:49 PM): yep
Gedeon Ogoun (10:43:54 PM): "What about my car?"
MilesMk1 (10:43:59 PM): Along with a few hundred pounds of drones and weapons.
Thematrian1 (10:44:01 PM): It's there too
Thematrian1 (10:44:04 PM): looking much as it was
MilesMk1 (10:44:10 PM): "You have a car?"
Gedeon Ogoun (10:44:14 PM): *starts up jackrabbit*
Gedeon Ogoun (10:44:26 PM): "Yes, very good car"
Thematrian1 (10:44:34 PM): whirr, voom, cough, sputter, die
MilesMk1 (10:44:43 PM): "Ah. Well, I can give you the boxes, or they can stay in the van, it's armored..."
Gedeon Ogoun (10:44:48 PM): "Ahem..." *restarts car*
Gedeon Ogoun (10:45:04 PM): "Yes, I must deliver them to a friend. It is a necessity."
Thematrian1 (10:45:06 PM): whirr, vroom, cough, cough, cough, vroom
Gedeon Ogoun (10:45:27 PM): "He is not far away" (how far?)
Dragcrell (10:46:01 PM): "I think your car is on its last legs" *looks at the car*
MilesMk1 (10:46:04 PM): "Hold on a moment... Are you hurt?"
Gedeon Ogoun (10:46:39 PM): "Me? No, of course not."
Gedeon Ogoun (10:46:45 PM): "Are you?"
Gedeon Ogoun (10:47:02 PM): "Last legs? No, this is a good car.:
MilesMk1 (10:47:11 PM): "No. All right, let's go, then - tell Alex where we can find the friend of yours, and we'll escort you there."
Gedeon Ogoun (10:47:19 PM): *gives address*
EverGuard4 has entered the chat room.

Gedeon Ogoun (10:47:29 PM): "Shall I lead?"
Dragcrell (10:48:01 PM): *enters the van and sits down takeing dmg assesment of his clothing*
Thematrian1 (10:48:02 PM): (It's not far, you drove for about ten minutes, at low speeds yet)
MilesMk1 (10:48:05 PM): "Sure. Let me ride shotgun, though, the streets are not exactly safe right now..."
Gedeon Ogoun (10:48:20 PM): "It would be an honor, warrior."
Gedeon Ogoun (10:48:28 PM): "You fight very well."
Gedeon Ogoun (10:48:55 PM): *gets in driver's seat of rabbit*
Umbrafer (10:49:07 PM): I'm reeling in and stowing the Strato.
MilesMk1 (10:49:17 PM): "Uh, thanks. As do you." *jogs back to the van and comes back with an assault rifle with a grenade launcher and a couple of extra bulges in his jacket*
Thematrian1 (10:49:18 PM): reel, reel, get out, stagger, stow
Gedeon Ogoun (10:50:19 PM): *starts driving to location*
Thematrian1 (10:51:00 PM): Alex: Gedeon drives much more slowly than you do.
Umbrafer (10:51:20 PM): *Doesn't notice, being too busy trying to figure out how he's driving at all*
Gedeon Ogoun (10:51:21 PM): Blake: "Hope you like dub music"
Gedeon Ogoun (10:51:59 PM): *plays some righteous dub*
Umbrafer (10:52:26 PM): *Notices that it appears to get more righteous all of a sudden, though*
MilesMk1 (10:52:35 PM): "Sure. Anything with a decent rhythm."
Gedeon Ogoun (10:52:51 PM): "The rhythm of the universe, my friend...."
MilesMk1 (10:53:04 PM): "Ah."
Thematrian1 (10:53:11 PM): But, eventually, he gets there. It's the first few floors of an aprtment building, with boarded up windows and the door hanging off its hinges.
Gedeon Ogoun (10:53:27 PM): *gets out, goes to door, knocks*
Gedeon Ogoun (10:53:40 PM): *holding shotgun, looking menacing*
MilesMk1 (10:54:09 PM): *stands close by, scanning the area for threats*
Gedeon Ogoun (10:54:45 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 4 2 6 2 2 1 1
Gedeon Ogoun (10:54:50 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Gedeon Ogoun (10:55:06 PM): calling out "Hello, Ekiele??"
Gedeon Ogoun (10:55:16 PM): to blake: "something is amiss"
Umbrafer (10:55:46 PM): Incidentally, I also limbered the turret.
Gedeon Ogoun (10:56:11 PM): "I hear sirens..."
Thematrian1 (10:56:12 PM): You see no threats.
Gedeon Ogoun (10:56:24 PM): I go inside
MilesMk1 (10:56:27 PM): "Something mundane, or... Sirens?"
Thematrian1 (10:56:33 PM): it's easy to push the door out of your way
MilesMk1 (10:56:44 PM): #Alex, Gedeon says he's hearing sirens.#
Gedeon Ogoun (10:56:46 PM): "Ekiele?"
MilesMk1 (10:56:58 PM): "As in, police sirens?"
Umbrafer (10:57:06 PM): *Listening for sirens with the van's capabilities*
Umbrafer (10:57:09 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 3 2 4 4 3 2 4
MilesMk1 (10:57:23 PM): *Follows after Gedeon*
Dragcrell (10:57:24 PM): *looks around out the van windows*
MilesMk1 (10:57:30 PM): Do I hear anything?
Umbrafer (10:57:32 PM): *Takes a nap instead, apparently*
MilesMk1 (10:57:33 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 6 3 3 3 3
MilesMk1 (10:57:36 PM): MilesMk1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
Dragcrell (10:57:47 PM): Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 1 6 3 1 5 6 3
MilesMk1 (10:57:53 PM): (Well, you don't have your wound mods anymore, right?)
Dragcrell (10:58:00 PM): Dragcrell rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 2
Thematrian1 (10:58:11 PM): (Not as many, at least)
Gedeon Ogoun (10:58:14 PM): *begins poking around first floor*
MilesMk1 (10:58:16 PM): (So at least those aren't negative numbers :) )
Thematrian1 (10:58:54 PM): Gedeon: the place is as you left it, but no Ekiele
Umbrafer (10:58:58 PM): (Somehow I take little solace in a modified 2, though at least the van sensors ought to help)
Thematrian1 (10:59:17 PM): there's a plastic table sitting in front of a metal sink
EverGuard4 (10:59:22 PM): ^^
MilesMk1 (10:59:27 PM): *comes with, scanning the place for anything unusual*
Gedeon Ogoun (10:59:31 PM): *sits in corner of kitchen, nods off*
Thematrian1 (11:00:10 PM): let's see: who entered besides Blake and Gedeon?
MilesMk1 (11:00:17 PM): Exactly.
Dragcrell (11:01:01 PM): still in the van
Thematrian1 (11:02:07 PM): you're in thevan. It's kinda warm
Dragcrell (11:02:37 PM): much to see out the windows?
Thematrian1 (11:02:49 PM): The bleakness of the Noose
Thematrian1 (11:03:29 PM): A short, extra-burly troll ambles across the street, watching the van and keeping his distance.
Gedeon Ogoun (11:03:37 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 6 2 6 2 4 3 5
MilesMk1 (11:03:38 PM): "Uhh... Gedeon?"
Thematrian1 (11:03:44 PM): Gedeon lies there.
Gedeon Ogoun (11:03:45 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 4 6-sided dice: 5 3 1 5
Thematrian1 (11:03:50 PM): No reaction.
Gedeon Ogoun (11:03:56 PM): Gedeon Ogoun rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 1
MilesMk1 (11:04:12 PM): #Ok, now he sat down, and fell asleep, or into some kind of trance. I hope he's projecting...#
MilesMk1 (11:04:29 PM): #Anything going on outside?#
Gedeon Ogoun (11:05:34 PM): *standing up*
Umbrafer (11:05:37 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 6 4 5 2 2 5 4
Umbrafer (11:05:40 PM): Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 1

Umbrafer (11:05:45 PM): Is there/
Umbrafer (11:05:47 PM): *?
Gedeon Ogoun (11:05:56 PM): "He is gone...I don't know if we should leave the food for him, or not."
Thematrian1 (11:06:03 PM): The aforementioned burly Trog. Other than that, nada.
Gedeon Ogoun (11:06:07 PM): "Someone else will just take it."
Gedeon Ogoun (11:06:56 PM): "We can leave now....I am sorry to have lead you on a wild goose chase"
MilesMk1 (11:07:06 PM): "We can probably get more food later if you want to risk it. Or we can try it sometime later."
MilesMk1 (11:07:22 PM): "It's allright."
MilesMk1 (11:07:35 PM): #Guess the friend isn't here... Coming out.#
Gedeon Ogoun (11:07:40 PM): *goes outside*
Umbrafer (11:07:42 PM): #We've got a stocky troll out here.#
Umbrafer (11:07:55 PM): #Doesn't look like he's going to tangle with us, though#
MilesMk1 (11:08:19 PM): *goes out, looking for any signs of danger, AR ready but not aimed*
Thematrian1 (11:08:30 PM): troll goes on his way
Thematrian1 (11:08:40 PM): check. Blake, roll perception
Gedeon Ogoun (11:08:46 PM): me too...

MilesMk1 (11:09:13 PM): 9,8,5,4
Gedeon Ogoun (11:09:25 PM): 8,8,5,4,4
Gedeon Ogoun (11:10:11 PM): "Well, I was told that you folks had a way out of the city, no?"
MilesMk1 (11:10:45 PM): "Well... We have resources. And the will to get out."
Gedeon Ogoun (11:11:11 PM): "The barricades are strong."
Gedeon Ogoun (11:11:37 PM): "We will need many men, perhaps an army....a militia."
MilesMk1 (11:12:02 PM): "A way we're going to have to work on, after we get in touch with some more people - some of who we need to take with us, others that might be able to help us... An army?"
Gedeon Ogoun (11:12:13 PM): *nods somberly*
MilesMk1 (11:12:35 PM): "What did you see of the barricades? We tried the perimeter, but that was two days ago."
Gedeon Ogoun (11:13:27 PM): "I have a transceiver...shall we link frequencies, so that we can be in communication? My friend, Ekiele, visited them astrally. He said that the entire city has been cordoned off."
MilesMk1 (11:14:05 PM): #What now, Alex? Do we take him back to Sigrun, or do we try to locate my guys and Shojo first, since we're already out an about?#
Umbrafer (11:15:16 PM): #How banged up are you all?#
Umbrafer (11:15:42 PM): #If we're ready to roll, let's see if we can't collect a few more people.#
MilesMk1 (11:15:45 PM): "Sure, that could be useful." *tells Gedeon one of our frequencies but keeps a private channel with Alex just in case, and tells Alex about it.*
Gedeon Ogoun (11:15:53 PM): *fiddling with transceiver* "I have encryption, someone who knows something about these things might have to tune it."
MilesMk1 (11:16:08 PM): "Let me see..."
MilesMk1 (11:16:12 PM): Electronics?
Thematrian1 (11:16:40 PM): hm. You guys are unencrypted, right?
MilesMk1 (11:16:57 PM): I wanted to be, but could never make much sense of the rules.
MilesMk1 (11:17:17 PM): Back when I first made Blake.
Umbrafer (11:17:47 PM): Sadly, yes. I've got Rating 4 on my radio, but that does little good when Blake's running bare. Maybe we can steal some.
MilesMk1 (11:18:03 PM): #I'm unhurt, Gedeon says he's fine as well.#
Umbrafer (11:18:12 PM): "Anyone back there hurt?"
Dragcrell (11:18:30 PM): "Other then my clothing no I'm fine
Thematrian1 (11:18:33 PM): Heh. Maybe, maybe. For now, you are just all unencrupted
Gedeon Ogoun (11:19:05 PM): "I guess I will have to follow along behind your van....but we can establish an encrypted link, Alex, no?"
Umbrafer (11:19:42 PM): #Yep. If there's sensitive info, relay it through [alternate channel]#
Gedeon Ogoun (11:19:57 PM): #yep this thing is working okay#
Umbrafer (11:20:17 PM): (Which makes four out of my twelve available prearranged channels used. Good times.)
Umbrafer (11:20:34 PM): #We need to pick up some more radios for the rest of the crew.#
Umbrafer (11:20:49 PM): Out of the following, what is closest:
MilesMk1 (11:21:16 PM): #Yeah, that we do.#
Umbrafer (11:21:23 PM): Sigrun's place, Shojo's place, Alex's place, Zbyhnev's place, [Blake's contacts' places]
Gedeon Ogoun (11:21:25 PM): #everywhere will have been looted by now...warlords are already establishing themselves around the city, if my guess is correct.#
Umbrafer (11:22:54 PM): #People move fast when order breaks down. I wonder if anyone's tried to storm the barricades yet…#
Gedeon Ogoun (11:23:34 PM): #probably, but they were unorganized if they did. The already-established hierarchies will take over first...street gangs, mafia, yaks...#
EverGuard4 (11:23:54 PM): (#tricked out runners#)
Umbrafer (11:24:04 PM): :)
Gedeon Ogoun (11:24:30 PM): # I have seen this happen before, in my homeland, when the government abandoned the people#
Gedeon Ogoun (11:25:07 PM): *begins following van in jackrabbit*
Umbrafer (11:25:30 PM): *Remembers to slow down for the Jackrabbit*
Umbrafer (11:25:40 PM): Well
Umbrafer (11:25:42 PM): Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 2 2 1 2 5 2 2 2
Umbrafer (11:25:46 PM): Woah.
Thematrian1 (11:25:51 PM): well crap
Umbrafer (11:25:54 PM): *Does /not/ remember to slow down for the Jackrabbit*
Thematrian1 (11:26:01 PM): Gedeon, Alex' van blazes off into the distance
Gedeon Ogoun (11:26:02 PM): #slow down#
Thematrian1 (11:26:14 PM): you're pretty sure the laws of physics don't permit what you just saw
Umbrafer (11:26:22 PM): #Sorry.# *Comes to a near-halt, lets it catch up*
Gedeon Ogoun (11:26:31 PM): *turns up the dub*
Umbrafer (11:26:50 PM): Does the Jackrabbit get faster with more dub? ;)
Thematrian1 (11:26:52 PM): dub dub dub dub dub
MilesMk1 (11:26:55 PM): #Yeah, we ran across some... looters... already.#
Thematrian1 (11:26:57 PM): not noticably
Thematrian1 (11:27:02 PM): Where is the van going?
Thematrian1 (11:27:11 PM): (ran across some, were some, it's all one)
Gedeon Ogoun (11:27:15 PM): it doesn't get faster..it gets slower!
Umbrafer (11:27:30 PM): (Ran over some…)
Umbrafer (11:27:35 PM): (Well, not this time.)
MilesMk1 (11:27:47 PM): (Hey, we didn't loot. We robbed looters.)
Umbrafer (11:27:58 PM): Can I get an answer as to which of the above was closer?
Umbrafer (11:28:04 PM): (Sooth.)
Thematrian1 (11:28:31 PM): closest is Zbyhnev's, furthest is Shojo's...well, Martha's
Umbrafer (11:29:08 PM): #I'm going to drop in, see if a friend needs help. He might have some gear we could use.#
Umbrafer (11:29:21 PM): Headed for Zbyhnev's place.
Gedeon Ogoun (11:29:24 PM): #righteous#
Thematrian1 (11:29:35 PM): all right then. Here we break.
Thematrian1 (11:29:46 PM): Next time: the secrets of the vowel-less contact
Umbrafer (11:29:57 PM): :D
Dragcrell (11:30:02 PM): hehehehehe
Thematrian1 (11:30:04 PM): well, ok, vowel-poor
Gedeon Ogoun (11:30:17 PM): I'll say...is that a real name?
Thematrian1 (11:30:22 PM): yep
Umbrafer (11:30:26 PM): Indeed it is.
Thematrian1 (11:30:28 PM): Slavic
Umbrafer (11:30:35 PM): Zbynhev Miklosko.
Gedeon Ogoun (11:30:55 PM): will he have military tanks?
Thematrian1 (11:31:21 PM): it seems unlikely
MilesMk1 (11:31:23 PM): I would tend to doubt that.
Thematrian1 (11:31:28 PM): but hey, he's a resourceful guy
Gedeon Ogoun (11:31:29 PM): we need tanks
Thematrian1 (11:31:41 PM): so steal them from the UCAS army
Gedeon Ogoun (11:31:45 PM): and attack helicopters...and some ICBM's
Thematrian1 (11:31:53 PM): wait, ICBM's?
Gedeon Ogoun (11:31:59 PM): *nod*
MilesMk1 (11:32:00 PM): There is a guy of mine we need to get in touch with that'd probably be our best chance of getting weapons.
Umbrafer (11:32:05 PM): The ICBMs not so much, but the rest there are plenty of outside
Dragcrell (11:32:09 PM): >_> ummm that would be kinda over kill dont you think?
Gedeon Ogoun (11:32:10 PM): to hit the place after we get out
Umbrafer (11:32:20 PM): We've got chemical weapons, though Gedeon doesn't know that
Gedeon Ogoun (11:32:48 PM): well, until next time then...
Gedeon Ogoun (11:32:53 PM): good night
Thematrian1 (11:32:55 PM): chemical weapon, singular
MilesMk1 (11:32:57 PM): Russian chemical weapons. Which might not work, but are much more evil.
Thematrian1 (11:33:02 PM): assuming no tried to loot it
MilesMk1 (11:33:03 PM): Good night.
MilesMk1 (11:33:08 PM): Hey!
Umbrafer (11:33:11 PM): We could subdivide it
Thematrian1 (11:33:21 PM): in which case you have some corpses with expressions of agony upon their cold features
Thematrian1 (11:33:23 PM): sleep well
EverGuard4 (11:33:33 PM): *waves* night everyone
EverGuard4 has left the chat room.

MilesMk1 (11:33:38 PM): Actually, you have a couple of blocks wiped out...
Gedeon Ogoun has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (11:33:45 PM): Potentially quite a few corpses, depending on who was in the area
Thematrian1 (11:33:50 PM): lots of corpses, etcetera
MilesMk1 (11:33:57 PM): Mhmm.
Umbrafer (11:33:59 PM): Man that stuff is fun.
MilesMk1 (11:34:06 PM): Damn, I'd feel bad about that.
Umbrafer (11:34:31 PM): And depending on what sort of protection against it they have, it may just be our ticket out of the city.
MilesMk1 (11:35:08 PM): I actually - and this is crazy, and I think it's because I had some actual real-world stuff on my mind last week - spend a bunch of time feeling bad about the troll I blew away.
MilesMk1 (11:35:13 PM): spent
Umbrafer (11:35:43 PM): Yeah, I know what you mean.
Umbrafer (11:35:46 PM): Well
Umbrafer (11:35:52 PM): Not about the troll. He was asking for it.
Umbrafer (11:36:21 PM): But whatsisname, the Russian woman's ex-partner
Umbrafer (11:36:30 PM): I still occasionally feel bad about him.
Dragcrell (11:36:48 PM): oh ya him the one we decapitated >_>
Umbrafer (11:37:00 PM): We didn't end up doing that.
MilesMk1 (11:37:09 PM): Even him... The whole goofy tuxedo bit... Just didn't quite feel he deserved to die out of hand.
Umbrafer (11:37:19 PM): We took pity on him and just shot him square in the back of the head with a high-caliber rifle round.
Dragcrell (11:37:22 PM): mmmm tho did shoot him in the back
Umbrafer (11:37:26 PM): 'Strue.
Thematrian1 (11:37:36 PM): After telling him he could walk away.
Umbrafer (11:37:38 PM): Shooting him in the back was part of the "taking pity on him" part.
Dragcrell (11:38:17 PM): well have to amit what Trick did to the poor bastered with the blowtorch and all *cough*
Umbrafer (11:38:20 PM): The idea being that he'd never know he was going to die. I guess whether or not that's better is as much a philosophical question as anything :)
MilesMk1 (11:38:26 PM): Not that I was willing to risk Alex getting clubbed by a troll, especially at this point...
MilesMk1 (11:39:01 PM): But I just felt guilty that I didn't do the sensible thing, and tell him to get lost at gunpoint before things escalated.
MilesMk1 (11:39:09 PM): and told him
MilesMk1 (11:39:33 PM): Trying to be less violent actually backfired in the end.
Umbrafer (11:39:39 PM): Yeah. Really, it was as much my error rolling the window down as anything.
Umbrafer (11:40:37 PM): And the guy with the rocket launcher.
Umbrafer (11:40:47 PM): If he'd only been shocked enough to actually drop it…
MilesMk1 (11:40:57 PM): Or had the sense to run for it...
Umbrafer (11:41:39 PM): Mm… I might have tagged him if he'd still been carrying it. I know I probably could have dodged, but it would have been an excessive risk.
Umbrafer (11:41:53 PM): As soon as it's out of his hands, though, he's free to go.
MilesMk1 (11:43:26 PM): And then you end up wondering whether they were a bunch of violent thugs, or just some idiots who had what seemed like a good idea...
MilesMk1 (11:43:50 PM): Though he did try to stop us from driving away...
MilesMk1 (11:44:17 PM): Oh well. See you guys Thursday?
Thematrian1 (11:44:29 PM): Thursday
Umbrafer (11:44:32 PM): Indeed.
MilesMk1 (11:44:38 PM): 'Night.
Umbrafer (11:44:41 PM): *Waves* Take care
MilesMk1 has left the chat room.

Thematrian1 (11:44:51 PM): wrap. And before midnight. I feel good.
