[Day: Sunday, Nov. 9th, 2081. Time: 6:20 p.m.] [You went a Japanese restaurant with Karin and were having a nice dinner when it suddenly exploded.] (*waits for more information about _how_ it exploded*) [Possibly, you thought I was kidding when I ended the session on that note. Surprise!] [Session Start. Everyone give me the average of acrobatics (body) and soul.] (Average?) (Ah, I see.) ( Yah ) (Tumbling spec?) ( Add them up and divide by two :P ) ( And yes. ) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 8. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 11. (Fail by one.) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 8. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 13. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 7. (Fail by 4) (Fail by 4.) (Made by 1) (Bloody miss by 1.) [In the resulting blast, Luana is lucky to get off with no noticable injuries, but the rest of you are thrown wildly around the room, injured. Most of the patrons of the restaurant were downright killed; one or two groans painfully. Rubble is strewn about, and there's fires in two opposite corners.] (Do I manage to keep ahold of the bag with Ten in it?) ( Body roll! ) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hotaru (2d8) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 13. (That would be a no) [Karin groans and manages to pull herself to her hands and knees. One side of her face is covered in blood from a cut in her forehead; she reaches up to feel it, and looks shocked when her hand comes away red with blood.] (Do I actually have to hold onto my plush the same way?) * Roseli tries to roll with the blast and ends up slamming against a wall. She grimaces and climbs to her feet, dazed. "Hotaru," she says sharply as she tries to orient herself and find any potential baddies or the source of the blast, "are you conscious?" ( Yep! ) [Hotaru loses track of her bag!] (If it's str, I autofail.) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 10. * Roseli is bleeding quite badly, but she seems inclined to ignore it. (Can I react to the being thrown with my shield?) (So I absorb some of the wall impact?) * Heinrick tries to pull himself up and narrows his focus, looking around for the source of the explosion. "It seems some object to people having a good meal." He then looks around. "Is everyone alright?" * Hotaru wails. "I can't find Ten!" She's also feeling the area around herself for the bag. [Your injuries aren't *too* bad, considering. You were on the far side from the blast, so you got off better than most of the people in the restaurant.] ( And no, that happened too fast. ) (Glasses intact?) * Luana tumbles but lands mostly unscathed. She looks around for whatever could have caused the blast and calls out uncertainly, "I'm fine." When she hears Hotaru cry out, she starts looking for Ten as well. ( By some miracle, they are! ) ~Keiko, are you okay?~ * Hotaru is burnt and bleeding, and if anybody didn't already know, the blast knocked her shades off to reveal that she's got no eyes, or sockets for that matter. * Roseli says quietly to Heinrick, "Get the wards out. Going to get patrons." At that, she runs towards where the blast was to haul injured folks out. (Pfft. PCs clothing and equipment only get injuries when dramatically appropriate.) * Keiko cries out in pain in both the explosion and the impact, tearing her dress in places. As she regains her senses, she says, weakly, "Kiyoshi..." and then her shield comes over her. After a moment she thinks back, ~Alive.~ [Five men rush in through what remains of the door. They're wearing white clothes, kevlar vests, and infrared goggles. Four have automatic weapons, the fith has some sort of funky looking pistol. That one is screaming something, but most of you can't understand the language.] [They don't look friendly though, so roll init!] 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+7) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14. 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8+7) and gets 23, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "The gods giveth, and the gods taketh away. This time, they taketh away." (AWESOME!) * Roseli spins and presses a few buttons on her bracelet. (Or...not.) 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+8) and gets a natural 3 for a result of 11. 2d8+12 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8+12) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 22. (Yeah, F you too, Dicey.) (Wow, Ten and Luana are getting initty. Heinrick and I are going never.) (Holy crap, combat.) * Keiko also says, slghtly less weakly, "No..." as Luana gets, ~Not them...~ * Heinrick looks on those approaching. "We may not have time for that, it looks like. We might have to clear the area first." (Sec, asking Brett for clarification.) 2d8+18 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+18) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 32. ~What? Keiko, are you okay?~ [Order is: Roseli, Ten, Luana, Shooters 1-4, Keiko, Karin, Shooter #5, Heinrick] (Holy shit, that's some init.) (Hoo-DAMN, that's init!) (Is Karin conscious?) ( She is ) ( She's just not talking 'cause I'm busy ) [Anyhow, Roseli go!] (Oh, this is so not going to work, but I'm going to try anyway...) * Heinrick gets prepared, reaching in his coat. "Karin, can you escort our wards to safety?" * Roseli curses in Portuguese and wastes no time, running for the pistol guy with her own gun in hand. She tries to grab him in a hold, putting the gun to his head. [Karin nods. "If we can get out of here. But they'll deffinately have the back covered.] 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-2) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 7. (Made!) If they can't, then this works as a training exercise. But I would have liked more preparation than this. [The man seems surprised by Roseli's sudden attack, but he manages to weave his way around her. Now that she's up close, Roseli can see that he looks much older than the rest of the men.] [Ten!] * Hotaru flails blindly as she tries tries to find her backpack! (They all grouped close together?) ( They are! But so's Roseli now. ) (Yes, that's the concern.) (Hey, I had a great idea! Too bad he dodged.) (It was.) ( Sorry, but he rolled a 4 ^^; ) (:() [Hotaru doesn't manage to find her bag just by feeling around for it.] [Luana!] * Luana looks around for the bag o' Ten. [Luana spots it! it landed near the sushi bar, about ten feet away.] * Luana goes for the bag! "Hotaru, I found her!" [Luana gets to it easily enough, but it takes up her turn :(] * Hotaru stops searching and sits back. "Where?" By the bar, I'll get her to you in a sec! [The guy with the pistol backs away from Roseli, but surprisingly enough, he doesn't shoot her. He turns and fires at Keiko instead. And maybe hits, too.] 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 8. (Hits the shield.) [Lucky for her, the dart bounces off. The man snarls something, but again in a language most of you can't understand.] * Roseli scowls at that. * Heinrick narrows his eyes at that as well. [The other shooters open fire! One aims at Roseli to deal with her, while the other two speard bullets around the room, targetting seemingly at random.] [But actually at Luana and Heinrick. Gimme def rolls, you two.] [Third guy doesn't hit anyone.] 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-2) and gets a natural 15 for a result of 13. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-2) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 3. ( Roseli needs one also, sorry if I wasn't clear. ) (Yeaaaaano.) [Luana dodges, and the bullet ricochets off the back of the bench next to her. Heinrick doesn't, and the bullet ricochets off his shoulder.] 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 8. (Nope. Shitty roll. :P) (My name is Heinrick and I have metal joints! Beat me up for 15 silver points! o/~) [And Roseli also has a bullet graze her side.] [Keiko!] * Roseli doesn't seem to notice particularly much. * Keiko gets herself fully to her feet, and looks towards the man that tried to shoot her, and the people around him. She then narrows her blue eyes and moment as she reaches out mentally to grab all their minds. she replies, in Russian. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-3) and gets a natural 15 for a result of 12. (Fail!) (Wow, Dicey is FULL of hate today.) (Yeah. I need my plush back.) [Nothing Happens. Meainwhile, Karin kicks over a table and takes up position behind it, like in an old western. She produces an automatic pistol from her jacket and fires, yelling "Wards, get behind me and head for the kitchen in back!"] [She hits one of the men, but the bullet doesn't seem to do much damage with his kevlar.] [The fifth shooter laughs, says something aloud in Russian, and opens fire on Keiko.] [The one with the pistol swears.] 2d8+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+2) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 13. (More shield hitting.) [They hit her shield some more, but it's starting to weaken under the impact.] [And a bullet ricochets off the ground in front of Hotaru, seemingly fired from nowhere.] [Heinrick!] * Hotaru starts and covers her ears. "Aaah!" * Keiko flinches at the impacts, shrinks back, and says to all the wards and guardans with open minds, ~I can't take them alone...~ * Roseli doesn't "hear" Keiko, but she does yell, "Wards, move now! Follow Karin's order!" * Heinrick tightens his mouth a bit at the pain and approaches the one that just shot at Keiko swiftly, trying to grapple him and hold his weapon so it stays pointed at the air away from people. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 8. (Make) [Heinrick succeeds! But it leaves him horribly exposed.] [Roseli!] (Exposed? I have a human shield. o/~) ( No, your pants came off when you made that maneuver. ) * Roseli shoots the leader. Tranq this. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. (Ha, so made that.) [Roseli shoots him in the shoulder. Her bullet manages to penetrate his armor, and he swears viciously at her in Russian.] [Ten!] * Hotaru doesn't know which way the exit is, so she waits and cowers for now. [Luana!] * Luana gets the bag over to Hotaru as quickly as possible and shoves the bag into her hands while pushing gently on Hotaru's back with her other hand. "Come on, we need to go. This way." * Hotaru grabs the bag and clutches it tightly. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hotaru (2d8) and gets 16, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Death is temporary, only failure is forever. You may have just done both." (Hotaru fails at bag grabbing.) [Hotaru catches it with her face.] (At least she's still pushed!) ( Oh whoops! Thought that was something else. ) ( Welll.... that happens anyhow! ) * Hotaru gets a bag in the face and pushed the right direction. [Meanwhile, the guy with the pistol swaps ammunition and fires at Keiko again.] (...) (Say, Brett?) ( ? ) (Just to let you know, I accidently used my ranged weapons roll, not my ranged defense roll. ^^;) (Still would have been a miss, just letting you know.) ( Ok. >.> ) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 12. (No dodge.) [The bullet impacts on Keiko's shield! But unlike the last one, it releases a small cloud of greenish gas when it hits.] ( Gimme a body roll at... ) ( Base body roll, sorry ^^; ) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 10. (Fail.) [Keiko woozes, then goes out like a light.] * Keiko is shocked a moment, and then gets out a weak, ~No...~ and then she collapses. [One of the other shooters runs forward and grabs her. Meanwhile, the one dealing with Roseli fires at her again, and the one fighting Heinrick struggles for his weapon, but fails to break free.] * Heinrick doesn't look pleased with this turn of events. He doesn't look pleased at all. "Luana! Can you help her out of her?" (Oh. Err, grabbed. Well...) ( Roseli needs a def roll ) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. (Made that.) [Roseli avoids AUTOMATIC MACHINEGUN FIRE!] (HOORAYE!) ( Tune in next week when we see if she can avoid semi-automatic machinegun fire. ) (Lack of holes is a good thing.) (Okay, so Keiko's grabbed.) (And unconscous.) [Karin opens fire on the man who grabbed Keiko! She only hits with one bullet, though, and like before it does little to slow him down.] [Shooter #5 waits, clearly watchin the man who has Keiko to give him cover.] [Heinrick!] * Heinrick reaches into his coat while struggling with the man, taking out a vial of colorless liquid and holding it close to the man's nose, keeping a close eye on the one running with Keiko. 2d8-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-6) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 3. *** Signoff: Keiko (Quit: Moving while unconscious! I'm tricky.) [Heinrick succeeds! But the man struggles, not out for the count yet.]] [Roseli!] * Roseli steps around the man with the pistol while he's distracted by shooting at the wards and makes another attempt at grab 'n' barrel to head. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-2) and gets a natural 3 for a result of 1. (Oh, I so made that.) (Go Rose!) [This time, Roseli succeeds in grabbing him!] [Ten!] * Roseli presses her pistol firmly to his temple. "Drop the gun. Call them off. Or die." * Hotaru clutches her bag and tries to move in the direction she got pushed she also talks to herself in a soft and freverent voice. "I need you Ten, answer me." [He yells something, but they either don't hear, don't care, or he's not yelling what Roseli told him too. Honestly, he might not even understand what she's saying.] [Luana!] (Is there stuff burning near the guy with Keiko?) ( Sure! ) (Explosion: Convenient.) * Luana makes a sharp gesture with her arm, hoping to move some of the fire to the guy's clothes. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 5. (Made~) (You burn my ward, I speak with Dr. Kerner.) [And she does! He drops Keiko in a panic and starts beating out the flames. Meanwhile, the guy who was covering him runs forward and grabs Keiko in his stead.] (DX) *** Keiko (mlink@ip68-13-21-94.om.om.cox.net) has joined channel #mc4 (I will set you all on fire, bitches!) (You missed pass the Keiko!) (I'll catch it on the logger.) (Aha.) [The guy with the pistol struggles against Roseli. Gimme an opposed body - unarmed (grabs). The second shooter, who was on Roseli, holds as he tries to decide between trying to shoot her and covering the guy who's running. The third beats at the fire on his pants leg, and the fourth struggles against Heinrick, but doesn't manage to push him off.] ( Whoooooo, longwinded ) (Your struggles against Dr. Engels are FUTILE.) [Karin gets out from behind her table to chase after Keiko, but comes to an abrupt stop as a bullet ricochets off the floor behind her. "Sniper!"] ( behind = beside ) ( Anywho, waiting on Ros ) ( Rossssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ) (She's pingin'.) *** Signoff: Roseli (Ping timeout) ( Ten didn't though ) ( Boo ) (I"m in California dood) ( Ohes ) ( Ok, well, in the meantime.... ) ( brb drink! XD ) ( Back, and there's still a lack of Ard ) ( orzzzzzzzzzzzzz ) (Uh...) (If it's just a reactive roll, could you do it?) (I mean her numbers'll be the same. So unless you're looking for a reaction...) ( Actually, I can just go until her turn, since it's just 2 NPCs and Heinrick. ) [Soooo! Shooter #5, who's got Keiko, runs towards the door with her.] [Heinrick!] * Heinrick readjusts his grip on the guy he's holding and drops chloroforming him a second to reach into his coat. He quickly throws a green vial at the back of the one holding Keiko while trying to keep his hold on his quarry. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-2) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 9. 2d8+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+1) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 11. (Bleh. Missed both.) [The vile strikes a booth inches from the man. It shatters, and the liquid inside hisses as it eats away the bench.] (Ard's computer crashed, she's logging back on) ( Nice timing ) *** Roseli (ardweden@12-207-214-234.client.mchsi.com) has joined channel #mc4 ( Hurray! ) (Sorry, comp crashed. x.x Someone catch me up?) ( Rose, you need an opposed body - unarmed grapple (attacks), and then it's your turn. ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 8. (Miss by one.) [The man manages to push the gun so that it's not facing his head.] [Roseli!] (Right, but I still have him in a hold?) ( Yep ) (How hard is it to put the gun back to his head and fire? :P) ( Another opposed body - unarmed (grabs) ) * Roseli frowns. She tries to wrestle her gun back to his temple and fire. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-2) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 6. (Made by one.) [His head nearly explodes. Roseli gets brain matter on her. Yuck] [Ten!] * Roseli reaches up with her now free hand and wipes brain off her face, letting the Russian dude drop. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hotaru (2d8) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 5. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hotaru (2d8) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 14. [Luana!] * Hotaru flinches at the gunshots and makes her way blindly for the exit. * Luana starts running toward the guy that has Keiko now and attempts to set him on fire too. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 13. (Nooo) [Luana doesn't manage to do it, though.] [Shooter #1 strafes for the exit behind the one carrying Keiko, laying down surpressive fire at Luana. She needs a def roll.] ( Sorry, that's #2 ) [#3 manages to get the fire out and stands, readying his gun.] [#4 attempts to free himself from Heinrick. Heinrick, gimme opposed unarmed (grabs) at +4] 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-2) and gets a natural 3 for a result of 1. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-2) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 7. (Make by 1) [Heinrick keeps a hold of him.] [And Luana manages to avoid getting shot, which is good.] [Karin fires on Shooter number 2, hitting him twice, but her attack is largely absorbed by the kevlar. She swears.] (Yay not being shot!) [And her swear turns into a cry of pain as the sniper hits her calf. Meanwhile, the shooter carries Keiko out the door. Outside, a van opens its side door, where another man, similarly dressed but lacking a helmet, waits with a gattling gun. He's big, bald, and has a thick handlebar mustache.] [Heinrick!] (Door open?) ( Yes, but #1 is blocking it. ) ( And the guy you're grappling is still conscious. ) (Can I throw past him?) ( You can try. I'll say... +3 ) (Even if I say screw the grappling?) ( Yeah, the guy's standing right in the door. You'd have to aim around him ) * Heinrick looks out the door and then throws the guy he's grappling away. Hard. He runs towards the door and throws a vial of tear gas out at the guys at the van. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 12. (...WHAT THE HELL, DICEY?) [Sadly, it lands too far away to do anything to them.] [Roseli!] (Dicy doesn't like Ten or Keiko) (Yeah, it's angry I was away last week.) (Okay, can I get around #2 to the outside?) ( You can go out the window. It'll take up your turn though. ) (Right.) * Roseli runs for the outside and more or less dives through the window, rolling to her feet on the other side, getting blood and brains everywhere. [Ten!] 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hotaru (2d8) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 6. (FINALY!) [Ten is revivafied!] * Hotaru freezes for a moment and then makes a beeline for the backdoor. [Luana!] * Luana follows Roseli out the window! [Shooter #1 makes his way out, running to the van. #3 heads towards the back, firing on Hotaru as he goes. And #5 also runs for the door, shooting at Heinrick.] ( Ermm... wait ) ( That's #2 instead of #1 and #4 instead of #5 ) ( Either way, youse guys needs defense rolls ) 2d8-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hotaru (2d8-1) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 9. (I'ma shot!) [Hotaru is shot! D:] * Hotaru whimpers but doesn't stop running. [Karin makes for the door too, firing at #4. She hits him, causing him to stagger.] [And #5 gets in the van, taking Keiko with him. No sooner are they in then the van begins to take off. The man with the gattling gun fires a spray of bullets as they go. Roseli and Luana, gimme defense rolls.] 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 10. (Nope.) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-2) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 3. [Luana manages to dive behind a mailbox, which absorbs the impact for her. Roseli, not so much. She's not looking too good right now.] [A bullet pings off the mailbox Luana is hiding behind.] [Heinrick!] * Heinrick can't go after the van, so concentrates on what he can do. He pulls out a throwing knife and throws it with his left arm at the one targetting Hotaru, while yelling, "Keep running!" 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-3) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 8. [Heinrick hits the man. The kevlar, being designed to stop bullets more than edged weapons, doesn't offer up as much resistance and the knife hits his forearm, drawing blood.] [Roseli!] * Roseli ignores the bullets and the blood and the brains and the ow - especially the ow - and runs after the van as she fires at the exposed gatling guy. "HOTARU! Control the van! DO NOT let them get Keiko!" 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 8. (Make.) [The bullet hits the guy, causing him to cry out and momentarily fall back inside the van.] [Ten!] (Dorkus. XD) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-4) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 8. [The van swerves out of control. Luana!] * Luana runs after the van and tries to jump in the open side door, if that's possible? ( Gimme an acrobatics roll ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-2) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 3. (So made!) (Impressive.) [Luana makes it inside the van! In there is the big man, shooters #2 and #5 and a driver.] (And Keiko?) ( And Keiko ) [Shooter #2 wastes no time in firing on Luana, whislt #3 fires at Hotaru again. #4 runs off in the opposite direction of the van.] 2d8-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-1) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 11. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-2) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 5. (I get shotted some more) (Made) (Man, stop picking on the girls who are running the hell away) [Hotaru takes another bullet. She's bleeding pretty badly right now. Luana, however, avoids getting shot!] (I wasn't running!) [Karin makes her way out the door, and shouts, "Roseli!" She flings the keys to Blitzkrieg's vans at her. "I'll take care of the sniper." Then she closes her eyes and starts saying words that make no sense.] (Can I catch them without a horrible body roll? ;P) ( Ok :P ) (Sweet!) * Roseli catches the keys with her free hand. [Shooter #5 also takes a shot at Luana, and the bald guy tries to kick her out of the van. She needs two defense rolls.] 2 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2 2d8-2) and gets a natural 15 for a result of 3 13. (Made one and not the other.) [The driver yells something in Russian, by the way.] (Good for him!) [Luana avoids getting shot, but she's kicked out of the van. A bullet grazes the ground next to her.] [Heinrick.] ( Both Ten and Roseli are in bad condition, by the by. ) (Unlike my previous two MC characters, Rose cannot heal.) (I can't heal myself yet.) ( That's why Blitzkrieg employs doctors. ) (Stupid no TP) (Is Shooter #3 the only one that can aim for Hotaru?) ( Yes ) ( He's the only one still in the 'raunt ) * Heinrick goes after him then and grabs him much like he did the other one. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-2) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 5. (At least I can make THOSE.) [Heinrick totally grabs him.] [Roseli!] (The van's still out of control and slowed down?) ( Yep ) *** Signoff: Keiko (Ping timeout) (Can I get in and fire, or does getting in take a whole turn?) ( It's far enough away that getting in would take up your whole turn. ) (Okay. Going to get the Blitz van and start it up and gather people will take too much time, so...) *** MLINK_AFK (mlink@ip68-13-21-94.om.om.cox.net) has joined channel #mc4 * Roseli runs, doing her best to keep up with the van well enough to fire inside and hit whichever shooter seems most injured. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 3. (And make.) *** MLINK_AFK is now known as KEiko *** KEiko is now known as Keiko [Roseli shoots a guy. He screams!] (He's not dead yet? :() [Ten!] ( Not quite! ) (Cuuuuuurses.) (He can dance and he can sing!) ( Actually most of these guys aren't injured very much at all. Up til now, Karin's been the only one dealing any damage ) ( Aside from the guy who got burned and the guy who lost his brains. ) ( And the bald guy too ) 2 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2 2d8-4) and gets a natural 6 for a result of -2 2. (Tasty crit) (Oh dear.) [The van moves into reverse, and the driver curses as the airbags deploy.] (About bloody fucking time.) [Luana] (Ow, driver out!) (RIGHT IN THE FACE!) ( He's still conscious, just..... yeah ) (Airbags in the face is the anti fun.) * Luana is going back in again! And can maybe stay in longer this time. (On the downside, I probably got tossed or something.) (I doubt I'm strapped in.) (They wouldn't have had the time.) (Is it stopped or still moving back?) (And the guy with the cut forearm.) [Yeah, Keiko gets tossed around. But she doesn't notice.] (I sleep like a rock. Sweet.) (Sorry, but you wouldn't want me to let them get away would you?) (Well, it's not like I'll remember any of it.) [Luana's close enough to just get back in without trouble.] ( At least until they start shooting again. ) * Luana is going to grab Keiko and get the hell out, then. ( There's two guards in front of her, though ) (...Only in present tense instead of future.) * Luana punches the nearest guy. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. (Made by one) [There's a crack as his nose breaks.] [The two guys in the van fire on Luana again, while the bald guy gets up and readies the gattling gun.] (This is a huge van.) (It's a van from THE FUTURE.) (4 people, moving about freely?) (Damn huge van.) 2 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2 2d8-2) and gets a natural 15 for a result of 6 13. (Made one and not the other, and I am never leaving without a gun again!) (Nah. It actually has a portal-space in it. There's only 2 people appearing at a time.) [Guard number three struggles against Heinrick. Gimme an opposed unarmed roll!] 2d8-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-6) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 4. [Luana takes a bullet. Ouch!] (Going nowhere!) [The guard doesn't get free of Heinrick, though ] [Meanwhile, Karin disappears over the rooftops, and Shooter #4 turns a corner and is gone.] [Heinrick!] * Heinrick pulls out another knife from his coat and holds it across the guy's throat. "Do you speak German? " He says each in their respective language. (Wait for him to answer in any he can. If he doesn't, throat slash!) [He freezes.] [Roseli!] * Roseli narrows her eyes, curses in Portuguese again, and fires at the gatling guy. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 7. (Make.) [Roseli hits him again. He curses up a storm.] [Ten!] 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-4) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 5. (Bonk) * Hotaru gets behind the restruant and sits down to bleed. [The van starts driving away again, but the sudden shift in gears knocks everyone inside about. Luana, gimme a body - acro (balance)] 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-2) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 3. (Woot!) (Go you!) [Luana is unperturbed by the sudden shift in gears. Her turn!] (Can I get to Keiko well enough to grab her yet?) * Keiko gets knocked about again! She's taking a lot of punishment today, for not doing anything. (How are the shooters when the gears shift?) (And gatling guy.) ( All knocked off balance. ) (Sweet!) (So Luana can get to Keiko, since it's not like anyone can stop her?) ( Sure ) * Luana grabs Keiko and gets out! Hopefully onto grass or something. [Nope, just pavement.] (Owww) (It's not doing well at going quick, though.) (You'll probably be fine.) (I'm more worried about Keiko, really) (Eh, I probably won't die unconscious.) [The shooters get back to their senses, along with the bald guy. Meanwhile, #3 holds up his hands "..."] (But thank you for thinking about me!) [Heinrick!] * Heinrick nods and pointedly pushes the knife closer to his throat. <"Good decision! Smart. Explain this then. Who arranged this?"> (Intimidation or Interrogation?) ( Intimidation for now. ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-2) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 4. (Every good guardian needs both intimidation and interrogation.) (Absolutely!) [He licks his lips. ""] [Roseli!] (BAD ANSWER.) * Heinrick presses it enough to his throat to draw a trickle of blood. <"Ah ah. One last try."> (Or may next round, depending on time. Either way!) * Roseli presses a few buttons on her metal bracelet and moves to cover Luana and Keiko. "HOTARU! Keiko is out! Take care of the van!" (Done.) [Ten] (I love that Ten's immediately after me.) (It is convenient.) 2 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2 2d8-4) and gets a natural 3 for a result of 5 -1. [The van crashes into a nearby building.] (It is!) (it is made of tasty and OWNED) [Luana! Looks like one shooter and the bald guy survived the crash, though neither looks in good condition.] * Keiko is a still a giant fleshy lump of not moving! That's not gonna help Luana get anything done. *** Signoff: Luana (Read error: Connection reset by peer) (Wah!) ( orzzzzzz ) *** Luana (WD@71.88.203.126) has joined channel #MC4 * Luana looks around for anything moderately resembling cover and pulls Keiko to whatever looks safest. ( There's a hotdog stand! ) (That's our new hidey place, then!) [The shooter and the guy climb out of the van. The shooter takes a shot at Luana, while the bald guy pulls out a pistol and fires at Roseli.] 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 3. (Made.) [Roseli avoids!] 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-2) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 12. (Noooo) [Luana... not so much. She takes a shot in the foot.] [Keiko finally wakes up!] (Ouchitude.) ( Actually, Luana's still in better condition than the rest of you. ) (Oh, I know I'm probably in awful condition. BUT AWESOME.) (Does Luana drop me?) ( Nah ) (Even Heinrick I think.) *** Signoff: Luana (Read error: Connection reset by peer) (Well, technically Keiko's unharmed.) *** Luana (WD@71.88.203.126) has joined channel #MC4 (Except for being thrown initially.) ( Nope, she got caught in the explosion ) * Keiko groans and then coughs, still weak. She should really speak in English, not Japanese. (Ah, yes.) * Luana thinks a bit desperately, ~Hey, hey, are you okay?~ [Heinrick!] (Last action! Does man answer? * Keiko starts responding, ~Luana... that's you? I'm okay, I just... I think...~ and then she opens her eyes and turns her head, to look up at Luana from her being held position. ~... oh. Hi.~ [He licks his lips. ""] <"The one with the pistol?"> * Keiko manages a little smile at Luana, then, she suddenly asks, ~... where are the bastards?~ [He nods.] [Oh, and Roseli, go!] (That's all I get? ^^;) ( Yep! ) ~Still shooting at us. But I stopped you from being kidnapped, and their van is a bit of a wreck, so I think we're winning.~ (s/I/we) * Keiko 's hands suddenly grip Luana tighter. ~... and where is Kiyoshi? Do they have Kiyoshi? Let... let me down, I have to hurt them.~ *** Signoff: Luana (Read error: Connection reset by peer) * Roseli fires at the shooter who just hit Luana. "Keiko, is that you? Awake?" 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 3. (Make.)( * Keiko does look awake and moving around a little! [The bullet bursts through his kevlar, killing him instantly.] (Yea, it'd be nice if you SAID something. :P) (She did say something!) (In Japanese.) [Ten!] * Roseli glances back, sees the movement, and says sharply, "Take the bald one. Alive." *** Luana (WD@71.88.203.126) has joined channel #MC4 (Er, and it's 'Kioshi', not Kiyoshi. Dumb me.) (And WHY does the internet hate me.) ~I knew this whole 'having dinner out' thing was a bad idea.~ [Luana] * Luana releases Keiko. ~I'm going to have to stay here. My foot's injured, so I can't run with you, and I don't have a gun, so I can't cover you if you want to head back right now, so you should probably stay with me too.~ (Hold action) [The bald guy fires at Roseli!] 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 3. (I win!) [Roseli dodges!] [Keiko!] * Roseli just looks vaguely annoyed at this point. And bloody and brain covered, but really, who does he think he's going to hit? (Who's live within 10 meters/) ( Just the bald guy ) (Roseli looks like a yummy zombie feast!) * Keiko slips off Luana's shoulder, feeling around a moment, seeming a little slack... but then her whole body stiffens, her eyes locking on the bald guy, and attempting to grab his mind hard. One on one... shouldn't be a problem, right! 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-3) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 8. (Make by 2.) [It shouldn't be... but he doesn't seem to fall for it.] [Heinrick!] * Keiko just continues to stare at him, as she says quietly, "I'm still weak... Kioshi..." * Heinrick switches gears and decides to be nice and knock the guy out with chloroform instead of killing him. He was cooperative at least. 2d8-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-6) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 2. [Down he goes.] [Roseli!] * Roseli follows her own advice, running over and trying to grab baldy, pressing her pistol against his head. Third verse, same as those first two. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-2) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 5. (Make.) [It happens again.] [Ten!] * Roseli tells baldy calmly, "You've lost. I know I said to keep you alive, but if you don't cooperate, I am going to kill you." [Luana!] ( Actually, we're pretty much done with combat. ) (The sniper got taken care of?) [The bald guy halts. He says something in Russian.] (Karin got him.) ( He hasn't been firing for a while. ) (*nods* Was just checking.) * Luana carefully moves until she's sitting. "I'm hungry," she murmurs. * Roseli presses her gun more solidly to his head. "Drop the gun." She repeats her phrase in Spanish, English, and Portuguese. * Heinrick makes sure to kick the weapon well out of reach of the unconscious guy just in case and goes to check on Hotaru. [He drops the gun, and says in English, ""] * Keiko starts to walk over to him, a flat look on her face, and will just try to grab his mind again. * Roseli kicks the gun towards the girls. "Luana, pick that up." * Hotaru is sitting behind the restraunt with her back against the wall and bleeding all over her clothes and Ten, which she has clutched to her chest. * Luana leans over and grabs it, smiling. [Karin returns. As she lands, she stumbles on her wounded leg, wincing. "I couldn't get him, sorry. The sniper got away."] [Her wings vanish as she does.] * Ten looks up at Heinrick. "They still have a sniper, somebody picked off that runner." 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. Also, could you fix my priestess before she bleeds out on me? * Roseli nods. "I think we got the leader, or one of them. Call for interrogation and clean up?" [You begin to hear sirens in the distance.] She's been very brave, but dead is useless. * Heinrick nods. "I agree. Unfortunately, I don't have medical training." He looks her over. "Can she make it to the van?" * Keiko smiles thinly, then says out loud, to Roseli, "You can leave him alone. He is mine now." Beat, then, "We're going to go get Kioshi." * Ten looks at Hotaru. "She would like assistance." ( Can end when you're ready ) * Luana stands, trying not to put weight on her injured foot. "Can I do anything else to help?" she asks Roseli patiently. * Roseli nods and releases her hold. As soon as she takes a few steps away, she staggers and nearly falls, almost dropping her gun. "Not... much. Get to the van. Everything else-" She takes a moment to yawn. "Taken care of." (Ready whenever you are.) [Karin staggers a bit. "Uh... Someone else is going to have to drive."] ( Ok then ) (I'm done) * Heinrick nods and picks her up to help her to the van. [Session End!]
