umbrafer (8:41:15 PM): Sorry for the delay, I was being an internet relay for that friend driving out here
umbrafer (8:41:28 PM): His current ETA is sometime around 1:00 AM, so it shouldn't interfere with the game.
Thematrian1 (8:42:52 PM): awesome. Let's get this party started
umbrafer (8:43:42 PM): When we last left our antiheroes…
umbrafer (8:43:58 PM): Spider was invading a teenager's room? Or had he moved on? *Digs for logs*
CirclMastr (8:44:21 PM): I don't recall if he was done there or not.
umbrafer (8:44:52 PM): *Is buried under a profusion of windows*
umbrafer (8:45:30 PM): So has anyone else been having one of Those™ weeks?
CirclMastr (8:45:38 PM): (Gah, dinner, brb)
CirclMastr has left the chat room.

umbrafer (8:45:54 PM): (We didn't meet last week, right?)
Thematrian1 (8:46:07 PM): (Don't think so)
umbrafer (8:46:56 PM): Oh, wow, I've already uploaded this log. How strange.
umbrafer (8:47:04 PM): Anyway, yes, Spider was investigating the cloaks.
umbrafer (8:48:26 PM): Gem, meanwhile, was…
umbrafer (8:49:26 PM): Chatting with Xeric.
Thematrian1 (8:49:49 PM): ah yes
Thematrian1 (8:49:54 PM): gaming him, or trying to
umbrafer (8:50:49 PM): Gaming him, or being gamed. But in the end, is there really a difference? Before we realize that there is, we'll move on,.
umbrafer (8:50:52 PM): *-,
umbrafer (8:52:12 PM): Actions? To what end do you bend the ear of Xeric?
Thematrian1 (8:52:52 PM): Aw, I just want to be liked. Actually, I want an invite to something, anything, that's happening sooner than next week
umbrafer (8:54:22 PM): Well then, let's see Etiquette.
Thematrian1 (8:54:44 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 4 2 1 6 6
Thematrian1 (8:54:47 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 2
Thematrian1 (8:54:50 PM): bam
umbrafer (8:54:54 PM): (Tonight will be light on acting talent, because I'm exhausted. My apologies.)
Thematrian1 (8:55:13 PM): (Total -4TN thanks to Good Reputation, Friendly Face, and Aptitude)
umbrafer (8:56:19 PM): (Aw man, I think I broke my dieroller.)
umbrafer (8:56:23 PM): (Oh wait, never mind)
umbrafer (8:56:47 PM): (Just forgot I'd changed its output)
umbrafer (8:57:23 PM): What was your Charisma again?
umbrafer (8:57:27 PM): 7?
Thematrian1 (8:57:35 PM): yep
umbrafer (8:58:18 PM): You work your magic. The good news is, he wants you to come back.
Thematrian1 (8:58:26 PM): ok...
umbrafer (8:58:33 PM): The bad news is, it's to Thursday. If there's anything happening before, he isn't letting on.
umbrafer (9:01:04 PM): He /does/, however, seem to be feeling out your commitment to the Elvish Lifestyle. What's your general feedback?
Thematrian1 (9:01:14 PM): I am pro-Elvish
umbrafer (9:04:30 PM): But how? Are you giving off vibes like you're thinking of getting your ears surgically altered and moving in, or just that you're attracted to the lifestyle and want to hear more, or what in that sort of sense?
Thematrian1 (9:05:16 PM): oh. Definitely column B. I am trying to hold out the hope that if he only invests enough time and effort with me, I'll move into column A
umbrafer (9:06:56 PM): He does, additionally, mention a cookout Saturday week, and that he'd just love it if you'd come along. Perception.
Thematrian1 (9:07:09 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 5 2 3 2 1
Thematrian1 (9:07:11 PM): eh
umbrafer (9:08:27 PM): He then turns to Erendahl and asks him to go check on the oven.

umbrafer (9:12:16 PM): Bothersome.
umbrafer (9:12:21 PM): What was the last thing you got/
umbrafer (9:12:23 PM): *?
Thematrian1 (9:12:48 PM): umbrafer: He then turns to Erendahl and asks him to go check on the oven.
umbrafer (9:13:04 PM): Erendahl does so promptly.
umbrafer (9:14:25 PM): He then turns back to you. "Well? Can you make it?"
Thematrian1 (9:14:41 PM): I sure can! Also, now that we're alone I'll flirt with him a bit more.
umbrafer (9:15:02 PM): *Flirt flirt* Perception again.
Thematrian1 (9:15:08 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 1 5 3 1 5
Thematrian1 (9:15:11 PM): better, better

umbrafer (9:16:56 PM): Where were we.
umbrafer (9:17:05 PM): You had a 6 to reroll.
Thematrian1 (9:17:10 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
Thematrian1 (9:17:15 PM): I was flirting to assassinate
umbrafer (9:18:38 PM): Hm?
Thematrian1 (9:19:07 PM): Well, our ultimate goal is to kill this guy, right?
umbrafer (9:19:22 PM): Assuming you want to get paid
Thematrian1 (9:19:27 PM): yep
umbrafer (9:19:28 PM): Well, by your employed
umbrafer (9:19:31 PM): *employer
Thematrian1 (9:19:34 PM): well, ok, at the moment I'm just flirting
umbrafer (9:19:37 PM): Well, anyway, long story short is he appears to be responding. You're not /totally/ sure you can trust that, though.
umbrafer (9:20:58 PM): Also, you notice that Tahlrhan over in another clump of people is looking a little less cheerful than previously.
Thematrian1 (9:21:35 PM): Yes, well, when he's not dead, perhaps he'll be happier
umbrafer (9:21:59 PM): She, actually
CirclMastr has entered the chat room.

Thematrian1 (9:22:17 PM): oh, her
Thematrian1 (9:22:21 PM): got it
CirclMastr (9:22:44 PM): (What'd I miss?)
umbrafer (9:23:24 PM): (Gem is now working to eradicate the vermin of non-Elven lifestyles, beginning with Shadowrunners.)
Thematrian1 (9:23:41 PM): (There's a bomb in the van. Chunky Salsa FTW)
CirclMastr (9:24:37 PM): (There's a what?)
umbrafer (9:24:46 PM): (Somebody set you up the bomb.)
CirclMastr (9:24:57 PM): (Seriously?)
Thematrian1 (9:25:02 PM): (No)
CirclMastr (9:25:52 PM): (Do the logs say where the spider is?)
umbrafer (9:26:01 PM): (Gem chatted up Xeric and may get free food. Spider is in the teenager's room.)
CirclMastr (9:26:30 PM): (Did it find anything cool?)
umbrafer (9:26:44 PM): (Muddy cloaks)
CirclMastr (9:26:52 PM): (Ah right. Search behind 'em.)
CirclMastr (9:27:01 PM): (Rather, ) *searches behind them*
umbrafer (9:27:39 PM): (You did that. Nothing in particular behind them, but a case for an OMC in one of the pockets)
umbrafer (9:27:43 PM): (No actual OMC in it, though)
CirclMastr (9:27:48 PM): (Ah, right.)
CirclMastr (9:27:59 PM): (I'm guessing there's no way to know who's cloak it is?)
umbrafer (9:28:15 PM): (Presumably the person who lives in this room, but that information is as yet obscure)
CirclMastr (9:29:43 PM): *searches under beds, in closet, etc.*
CirclMastr (9:29:57 PM): *still fighting the serious temptation to laser shit*
umbrafer (9:30:23 PM): All done. You found…
umbrafer (9:30:49 PM): Under the bed: femurs, at least one of which is plastic
umbrafer (9:30:58 PM): Some books bound in faux-leather with Latin names
Thematrian1 (9:30:59 PM): oh, well, that's ok then
umbrafer (9:31:21 PM): A big box that, through the transparent walls, appears to be full of dirt
umbrafer (9:31:26 PM): And some pornography
CirclMastr (9:32:20 PM): I'll investigate the big box further, especially in regards to finding a way to open it and see what the dirt contains.
umbrafer (9:32:37 PM): It'd be easy to open if you were a human, with a human's hands
umbrafer (9:32:41 PM): And strength
umbrafer (9:32:46 PM): Unfortunately, you're just a very small spider.
umbrafer (9:32:56 PM): You could burn through it easily, but that would be obvious. And smell bad.
CirclMastr (9:33:06 PM): Smell bad?
umbrafer (9:33:25 PM): Burning plastic.
CirclMastr (9:33:55 PM): Ah.
umbrafer (9:34:30 PM): (Spider might not care, but the inhabitant of the room would probably notice even if he or she didn't look under the bed)
CirclMastr (9:34:35 PM): Well, spider has no nose. I'll see about cutting through a hinge and levering the box open before I resort to that, though.
umbrafer (9:36:01 PM): The lid is pretty solid—nothing terribly special, but there probably isn't anything to make burning through it better than burning through the wall.
umbrafer (9:36:16 PM): (It's one of those snap-on lids you see on big plastic storage containers)
CirclMastr (9:36:22 PM): Oh. Crap.
CirclMastr (9:37:59 PM): Well, the temptation and weirdness combined are too great for Hound to resist. He cuts out a hole for further investigation.
umbrafer (9:38:10 PM): Dun dun dunnn…
umbrafer (9:38:15 PM): How big a hole?
CirclMastr (9:38:26 PM): Big enough for the spider to investigate though, and no bigger.
umbrafer (9:39:06 PM): Above the dirt-line, then?
CirclMastr (9:39:24 PM): Yeah. I was figuring through the top, if the spider could reach the top.
umbrafer (9:39:29 PM): Done.
umbrafer (9:39:32 PM): *Sizzle*
CirclMastr (9:40:04 PM): *hisszzzzzzzzzzzzz*
umbrafer (9:40:05 PM): Wisps of smoke curl up. This must be barrier rating -1 or something, so it takes very little time.
umbrafer (9:40:16 PM): (Yes, -1. Bullets get /stronger/ as they pass through it.)
CirclMastr (9:40:34 PM): (Ah, so it's made of phlebotinum? heh)
CirclMastr (9:41:07 PM): Once the hole is done, spider checks it out.
umbrafer (9:41:53 PM): *Check check check*
umbrafer (9:42:06 PM): It's dirt. Do you have a dirt-related knowledge skill, or something specific you're looking for?
umbrafer (9:42:31 PM): I'd accept certain farming-related skills as defaults.
CirclMastr (9:42:35 PM): Well, Hound would anticipate finding something buried in the dirt.
umbrafer (9:42:59 PM): *Dig dig dig* Your little spider isn't very good at digging. Roll… oh man.
CirclMastr (9:43:06 PM): SotSW.net is being rather uncooperative..
umbrafer (9:43:07 PM): What does a Spider roll to dig in dirt?
CirclMastr (9:43:31 PM): Actual spiders can dig through dirt, I don't see why a mecha-spider couldn't.
umbrafer (9:44:06 PM): Well, because "digging through dirt" isn't generally a feature required of surveillance-oriented walker drones
Thematrian1 (9:44:21 PM): OTOH, it's dirt.
CirclMastr (9:44:26 PM): Yeah.
Thematrian1 (9:44:35 PM): there are lots of things that aren't meant for digging that can nevertheless be used for dig
Thematrian1 (9:44:38 PM): ging
CirclMastr (9:44:38 PM): How hard is it to scoop with 2-4 legs and stabilize itself with the remaining 4-6?
CirclMastr (9:44:59 PM): (The forum is giving me bad mojo)
umbrafer (9:44:59 PM): Anyway, roll Mechanical Arms or Walkers.
CirclMastr (9:45:09 PM): CirclMastr rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 5 6 3 6 6
umbrafer (9:45:10 PM): (The forum got some evil juju)
CirclMastr (9:45:13 PM): CirclMastr rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 4 1
umbrafer (9:45:27 PM): *Dig dig dig*
CirclMastr (9:45:29 PM): (That's still some massive successes, esp. if VCR bonus applies, as it likely should.)
CirclMastr (9:45:40 PM): <_<
CirclMastr (9:45:41 PM): Heh
umbrafer (9:46:11 PM): (I'm sorry, your TN was 44. Digging through dirt is harder than buying a battleship on the open market.)
umbrafer (9:46:13 PM): (I kid.)
umbrafer (9:46:49 PM): You dig down an inch, then another half an inch. No signs of anything. Keep digging? (No need for another roll yet, not until it gets deep enough that you risk cave-ins)
CirclMastr (9:46:59 PM): (Anyway, I can't check to see what Knowledge skills Hound has aside the obvious Mech-related one(s).)
CirclMastr (9:47:10 PM): How deep is the dirt?
Thematrian1 (9:47:27 PM): (Dreamhost appears to be shitting the bed, as we say at work)
umbrafer (9:47:30 PM): There's about ten inches of it, depth-wise
CirclMastr (9:47:52 PM): I'll aim for five, digging out a conical shape as best as possible to mitigate cave-in factor.
umbrafer (9:47:58 PM): (Static stuff is still coming up just fine, which means we can access my utterly useless front page at will)
Thematrian1 (9:48:16 PM): (kickin'. But, ok, their database server is see above)
umbrafer (9:48:43 PM): (Well, yeah. I mean, there's a reason I included "utterly useless" in the list of stuff we can access)
umbrafer (9:49:01 PM): ("list" should be "description"
umbrafer (9:49:02 PM): *)
umbrafer (9:49:12 PM): You do some digging.
umbrafer (9:49:16 PM): In your digging, you find:
umbrafer (9:49:21 PM): Two small stones
umbrafer (9:49:22 PM): A twig
umbrafer (9:49:25 PM): Five pine needles
Thematrian1 (9:49:45 PM): (I can get through to sr3r.net, sort of)
umbrafer (9:49:47 PM): And that's it.
CirclMastr (9:50:05 PM): ...
CirclMastr (9:50:08 PM): WTF?
Thematrian1 (9:50:25 PM): (Maybe she's going to put a plant in it at some point?)
CirclMastr (9:50:30 PM): #Gem, is there anything magically significant about two small stones, a twig, and five pine needles in a box of dirt?#
Thematrian1 (9:50:52 PM): #I guess there could be.# "You're so right, Xeric! Giggle"
umbrafer (9:53:57 PM): "I can't take credit. It's being with others who have helped share in and refine my ideals—I couldn't have done it without them.)
CirclMastr (9:54:41 PM): Hound opts to laser the twig and pine needles out of spite.
CirclMastr (9:54:53 PM): As in burninate, not carve into.
umbrafer (9:55:25 PM): *Sizzle*
umbrafer (9:55:41 PM): They're pretty damp, but the laser does its thing before too long.
umbrafer (9:55:55 PM): Well, that's if you take partial burnination. Total will be a sustained effort.
CirclMastr (9:57:35 PM): Total for the pine needles, that shouldn't take long. Partial for the twig.
umbrafer (9:58:11 PM): Done.
umbrafer (9:58:44 PM): "I'm going to grab one of those cookies. Want one, Lindsey? They're delicious—it's hard to get good ingredients here, but Aerphaendra has a magic touch."
Thematrian1 (9:59:19 PM): I sure do.
CirclMastr (10:00:24 PM): And now, to depart for better lands.
CirclMastr (10:00:38 PM): Spider sneaks out and heads for the next room.
umbrafer (10:01:24 PM): He ducks off momentarily, then returns with two cookies, one of which he offers to you. If you want you can roll a cookie- or baking-related knowledge skill.
umbrafer (10:01:33 PM): Spider: *scuttle scuttle scuttle*
umbrafer (10:02:16 PM): Unfortunately, the next room down has a door much more closely set—you're pretty sure you won't be able to get under, not without doing something like lasering out a piece of the door.
CirclMastr (10:02:17 PM): It's poison! *scuttle scuttle*
CirclMastr (10:02:26 PM): How far away is the guard?
umbrafer (10:02:41 PM): Two doors down. There's a good chance he would notice lasering.
umbrafer (10:04:22 PM): Meanwhile, downstairs, the gathering slowly thins.
CirclMastr (10:05:32 PM): On to the next door?
umbrafer (10:05:42 PM): *Scuttle scuttle*
CirclMastr (10:06:11 PM): #I bet I can hang out here after the meeting and overhear something.#
umbrafer (10:06:15 PM): This is the last door in this area.
Thematrian1 (10:06:36 PM): #Good. It looks like I'm going to have to leave soon, unless I want to vamp someone tonight.#
umbrafer (10:06:50 PM): (Essence Drain Xeric!)
CirclMastr (10:06:54 PM): #I'd recommend against it.#
CirclMastr (10:07:12 PM): #Though I wouldn't be entirely averse to it of course, heh.#
umbrafer (10:07:15 PM): The hallway opens into a little sitting-room sort of area with several bookshelves and couches and a little fireplace.
CirclMastr (10:07:54 PM): Any chance of reading some book titles to see what sort of library it is?
Thematrian1 (10:07:57 PM): #No, I don't think it's wise.# Missing or ignoring the double entendre
umbrafer (10:09:06 PM): Sure. You've got some treatises on farming techniques, nature guides, some historical inquiries into the role of Elves in mythology, about three different copies of the Silmarillion…
Thematrian1 (10:09:20 PM): of course they're Tolkien fans
umbrafer (10:09:31 PM): Some other books in a language that you may or may not recognize depending on what you know about Sperethiel…
CirclMastr (10:09:48 PM): Hound's first guess would be that it's Sperethiel either way.
CirclMastr (10:10:11 PM): Anything else of note?
umbrafer (10:11:00 PM): There are also some ornamental suits of armor
CirclMastr (10:11:45 PM): Hound resists the urge to make a RenFaire joke, given his own obsession with mecha.
CirclMastr (10:12:13 PM): And otherwise (unless something further is described) vacates.
umbrafer (10:12:53 PM): The other things are another hallway on the far side (at a right angle to the original hallway) and that door you passed by to get here
CirclMastr (10:13:21 PM): #How much time until the meeting breaks up?#
umbrafer (10:14:48 PM): Your estimate is that it isn't long. Assuming constant rate of trickle it'll be no more than twenty minutes, but it'll probably be more like ten or fifteen with the last few people leaving en masse as the gathering gets too small to
umbrafer (10:14:51 PM): sustain visitors
CirclMastr (10:15:35 PM): Now to just wait for Gem to tell Hound that, heh.
Thematrian1 (10:16:52 PM): #Maybe twenty minutes?#
CirclMastr (10:17:38 PM): #Alright, I'll go into standy mode then.# I'm/Hound is guessing the best place to wait to hear stuff is in or near Fierelle's room. So he'll try sneaking into Fierelle's room again.
umbrafer (10:17:49 PM): *Skitter skitter skitter*
umbrafer (10:18:19 PM): Stealth and then Walkers. Gem, doing anything?
CirclMastr (10:18:47 PM): CirclMastr rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 3 4 4 4 1
CirclMastr (10:18:49 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
umbrafer (10:18:49 PM): (They appear to have turned off the suck over at Dreamhost)
CirclMastr (10:18:51 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
CirclMastr (10:18:59 PM): 15, 4x3 for Stealth
CirclMastr (10:19:02 PM): CirclMastr rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 5 2 4 5 6
Thematrian1 (10:19:02 PM): Having secured the cookout invite, I'm good to go
CirclMastr (10:19:03 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
CirclMastr (10:19:12 PM): 10, 5x3, 4 for Walkers, before VCR.
umbrafer (10:20:02 PM): umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 6 6 6 2 6 2 3 4 6 4 5 2 4 2 6
umbrafer (10:20:09 PM): umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 1 1 4 5 3
umbrafer (10:20:12 PM): umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
umbrafer (10:21:08 PM): The guard glances over your direction. He makes a strange face. You're certain you've been spotted, when all of a sudden he sneezes.
CirclMastr (10:21:21 PM): Mwaha.
umbrafer (10:21:29 PM): Several times in sequence. By the time he's finished, you're under the door and away.
CirclMastr (10:21:29 PM): Any change in Firelle's state?
umbrafer (10:21:38 PM): No.
CirclMastr (10:22:30 PM): Spider will wait (motionless as possible) near the door, in the hope of hearing what might be said outside the door while also seeing what goes on inside the room.
umbrafer (10:24:32 PM): Being motionless is quite easy for Spider.
CirclMastr (10:25:04 PM): *wait wait wait*
umbrafer (10:25:14 PM): Gem's clearing out? Hanging around? Eating her cookie? Discreetly disposing of it on the way out?
Thematrian1 (10:25:38 PM): I'll eat the cookie. I'll clear out after that.
CirclMastr (10:25:47 PM): Roll Body
umbrafer (10:25:51 PM): Done. It's a pretty decent cookie, a little heavy on the soy.
Thematrian1 (10:25:53 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 2 5 4
CirclMastr (10:25:56 PM): Heh
umbrafer (10:26:12 PM): The soychocolate increases your cholesterol slightly.
Thematrian1 (10:26:22 PM): aw
CirclMastr (10:26:27 PM): What, they can't even afford real carob?
CirclMastr (10:26:36 PM): (As foul as carob is as a chocolate substitute...)
umbrafer (10:27:22 PM): (You can do solid things with carob, though it's still a bit dry)
umbrafer (10:27:34 PM): (If you try to just use it like you'd use chocolate, though, bad news.)
CirclMastr (10:29:10 PM): (Anyway)
umbrafer (10:29:58 PM): (If you want to know whether the cookie has carob, it'll be a baking-related knowledge skill (or asking Xeric or someone). Otherwise, we move on.)
umbrafer (10:30:08 PM): Where does Gem go after leaving?
Thematrian1 (10:30:33 PM): Some nearby cafe or something, in case I'm followed.
umbrafer (10:30:45 PM): *Stroll stroll stroll*
umbrafer (10:31:35 PM): There's not much in terms of cafes in this area, though there are a few coffee vending machines.
umbrafer (10:32:42 PM): Meanwhile, Spider lurks.
umbrafer (10:32:48 PM): Spider /abides/.
CirclMastr (10:33:03 PM): The Spide abides.
umbrafer (10:34:16 PM): Perception.
CirclMastr (10:34:21 PM): CirclMastr rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 4 4 5 6 4
CirclMastr (10:34:23 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
CirclMastr (10:34:25 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
CirclMastr (10:34:40 PM): 16, 5, 4x3
umbrafer (10:34:58 PM): Someone stops by and says something you can't quite make out. The guard says "No problems."
CirclMastr (10:35:15 PM): *can guess the question*
umbrafer (10:36:03 PM): The other voice says "*mumble mumble* in an hour."
CirclMastr (10:36:34 PM): *silently curses the sound-buffering qualities of the door*
umbrafer (10:37:05 PM): The other voice walks away and the guard makes a disgusted noise.
CirclMastr (10:37:20 PM): *sticks with Plan A for now*
umbrafer (10:39:56 PM): Some time passes. Several sets of footsteps go by the door.
umbrafer (10:40:06 PM): Gem wanders the streets.
Thematrian1 (10:40:15 PM): yep
CirclMastr (10:41:23 PM): Maybe Plan A was a bad plan.
CirclMastr (10:44:41 PM): *tick tock tick tock*
umbrafer (10:46:22 PM): *Tick tock tick tock*
CirclMastr (10:46:49 PM): *tries to hit Fast Forward button*
Thematrian1 (10:47:07 PM): (Sorry, I'm finding out about this morgue thing)
CirclMastr (10:47:34 PM): (What thing?)
Thematrian1 (10:47:42 PM): (I don't know yet)
umbrafer (10:50:05 PM): More footsteps.
umbrafer (10:50:17 PM): More time passes. How long are you waiting?
Thematrian1 (10:50:17 PM): (Not mission related, as it turns out)
Thematrian1 (10:50:23 PM): (Probably time to withdraw)
CirclMastr (10:51:02 PM): (Until Hound feels the need to sleep, at which point he tells the spider to record and the van to drive him home.)
CirclMastr (10:51:26 PM): (Spider is also set to detonate if something messes with it.)
CirclMastr (10:51:39 PM): (When on its own, that is.)
umbrafer (10:51:49 PM): (Well, IIRC Gem is counting on you for transportation)
umbrafer (10:51:54 PM): (I mean, she could call Glitch)
Thematrian1 (10:52:43 PM): (He's right)
Thematrian1 (10:52:50 PM): (But nwo that I'm out and about, I can find him)
CirclMastr (10:52:53 PM): (Oh. Then when Gem returns to the van, Hound does the above.)
umbrafer (10:53:48 PM): Done and done. About an hour from the first voice, if you haven't felt the need to sleep by then, another set of footsteps comes through.
umbrafer (10:53:53 PM): "Everything ok?"
umbrafer (10:54:04 PM): "Yeah, she's quiet tonight. I think it might be over."
umbrafer (10:54:14 PM): "We can hope."
umbrafer (10:54:26 PM): "Any cookies left?"
CirclMastr (10:54:37 PM): *record record*
umbrafer (10:54:51 PM): "Yeah, I think there were a few."
umbrafer (10:55:03 PM): "All right."
umbrafer (10:55:05 PM): *Footsteps*
CirclMastr (10:56:01 PM): *silent profanity*
CirclMastr (10:56:39 PM): Spider would follow if it wasn't for the assumption that the guy is going for cookies and not something noteworthy.
Thematrian1 (10:56:45 PM): No, no, something's badly wrong with F-bomb. This is good intel.
CirclMastr (10:58:08 PM): I still vote for explosives to just kill them all.
Thematrian1 (10:58:19 PM): No ear bonus
CirclMastr (10:58:26 PM): Spider waits, still. Do something, K-Rod!
umbrafer (11:00:07 PM): K-Rod does not appear to do anything, I think
umbrafer (11:00:13 PM): I'm not totally clear on who K-Rod is.
umbrafer (11:00:36 PM): umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 1 6 2 1 3 4 6 4 3 3 3 2 2 5
umbrafer (11:00:41 PM): umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 4
umbrafer (11:01:55 PM): An hour passes. Nothing happens.
CirclMastr (11:01:56 PM): Firelle = K-Rod
umbrafer (11:02:14 PM): I see. I'd be interesting in knowing how, at some point.
CirclMastr (11:03:28 PM): (Local oddity with the Angels. We've got a closing pitcher nicknamed K-Rod, despite the fact that his name is Francisco Rodriguez.)
umbrafer (11:03:34 PM): Another hour. Actions?
CirclMastr (11:03:59 PM): Sigh with exasperation?
Thematrian1 (11:04:06 PM): Get that poor thing out of there. We've got nothing
CirclMastr (11:05:22 PM): Yeah. Spider withdraws.
umbrafer (11:05:50 PM): Done. You slip under and, with a Stealth roll, out.
umbrafer (11:05:53 PM): Where are you headed?
umbrafer (11:06:07 PM): It's about 1:20 AM.
CirclMastr (11:06:23 PM): CirclMastr rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 1 6 5 2 4
CirclMastr (11:06:25 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
CirclMastr (11:06:26 PM): CirclMastr rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
umbrafer (11:06:31 PM): umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 2 2 6 6 3 5 2 4 2 5 3 5 1 6
CirclMastr (11:06:32 PM): 14, 5x2, 4
umbrafer (11:06:36 PM): umbrafer rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 3 1
umbrafer (11:06:43 PM): You slip past a tired-looking guard.
CirclMastr (11:07:18 PM): On home.
umbrafer (11:07:59 PM): By what path?
CirclMastr (11:08:12 PM): Uh
CirclMastr (11:08:21 PM): By spider entering the van, and Hound driving the van home?
umbrafer (11:08:40 PM): Well, Spider's in a hallway
CirclMastr (11:08:50 PM): Oh
CirclMastr (11:08:56 PM): By way of the air vent it entered?
CirclMastr (11:09:06 PM): Or whatever it was.
umbrafer (11:09:09 PM): It actually came in through a door that was open (to the roof)
CirclMastr (11:09:29 PM): ...Crap.
CirclMastr (11:09:46 PM): Spider enters its own Survival Horror situation.
Thematrian1 (11:09:49 PM): heh
CirclMastr (11:10:01 PM): Let's start with the hallway still unexplored.
umbrafer (11:11:52 PM): There are three doors on either side and a door at the end. It looks like the hallway corners at the end and goes parallel to the one you came down (with F-bomb/K-Rod/Fierelle's room)
CirclMastr (11:13:14 PM): Let's explore around the corner.
umbrafer (11:14:26 PM): That corner leads to a short hallway with a door at the end. The door is ajar; it leads onto a tight spiral staircase.
umbrafer (11:14:38 PM): Well, not spiral as such
CirclMastr (11:14:48 PM): Up or down?
umbrafer (11:14:55 PM): But it twists around in a fairly tight square. Down.
CirclMastr (11:15:34 PM): Down we go!
umbrafer (11:16:25 PM): *Scuttle scuttle scuttle*
umbrafer (11:17:20 PM): You emerge into what appears to be the kitchen. There are signs that it was once two rooms, but the dividing wall has been knocked out and a certain amount of impressive-looking, if aging, equipment has been installed.
CirclMastr (11:18:07 PM): Through the kitchen I scuttle, looking for an exit.
umbrafer (11:18:50 PM): Fortunately, the kitchen has a vent van. Its filters have seen better days, so out you go.
umbrafer (11:18:53 PM): Spider returns to the van.
CirclMastr (11:19:34 PM): Vent van?
umbrafer (11:19:41 PM): Vent fan.
umbrafer (11:19:57 PM): It's a little van that drives air out of the building and then pumps it out.

CirclMastr (11:21:56 PM): Ah well. Escape to the van, drive home.
umbrafer (11:22:10 PM): Done.
umbrafer (11:22:23 PM): And that's it for tonight. Next week, chaos and destruction!
umbrafer (11:22:32 PM): Also, possibly KC this weekend.
CirclMastr (11:23:25 PM): Heh
