[Day: Tuesday, Dec. 8th, 2081. Time: 7:45 p.m.] ( Heinrick and logger, join.... uh.... Where would Heinrick be at this time of night? ) (Probably the lab.) ( Join #Thelab ) [You guys are in the rec. room, several days after the incident, doing whatever it is you do best together. Arguing, probably. But you're there whether you like it or not, so nyah.] [Start] [Incidently, Red Team is off on another mission dealing with Muslim insurrectionists. If you're wondering.] * Ten is helping Hotaru study, if helping means standing on an open book on the table while Hotaru sits in a chair with her hands in her lap untill Ten needs her to turn a page. * Keiko is currently having a swarm of marbles float around her duck's head. With the duck on a perch, so that's easy. She's holding the box that the marbles were in before. Hey, Heinrick's gifts aren't wholly forgotten! * Keiko wears purple today. Well, it's half blue! * Luana is dividing her attention between reading a book about Tai Chi and watching cartoons on the tv. She's wearing a plain brown dress today. (They never show anything good on TV.) [There's the New Adventures of Captain Playstation] * Hotaru evedentaly has to post about the color of her clothes. She's wearing very light grey dress. [Boo!] (Er, Parens.) (I have not brackets.) * Keiko frowns and lifts the duck and marbles orbital system off the ground. She scrunches her eyes a little as she turns her body, and the plush solar system towards the TV. ~Seem distracted,~ she thinks at Luana. (If only I was the other Ten, I could rant at the TV about how it totaly doesn't work that way.) * Luana thinks absently, ~Hm? Me, or Ten?~ [Starring Captain Playstation, Crash Bandicoot, Sonya from Battle Arena Toshinden, an Armored Core mech, Daxter (but not Jak), and the Princess of the video game world (who's blond and bears no relation to any other princesses of the video game world)] * Ten takes a few steps off the book. * Hotaru turns the page. * Keiko snorts to herself as she and Dusk System Beta float towards Luana's place. ~Ten can't seem anything. She is or she isn't. Not very expressive. I meant you.~ (Why would it have Crash Bandicoot AND Daxter? They're essentially the same.) ( I don't know, I never played either of those games.] ) [Oh, and Lara Croft.] ( If you rather, it can have Jak instead of Daxter. He'd talk like a surfer. "Gnarly, dude!" ) (Heh.) ("Reaganomics!") (Only if the US is currently run by Reg-bot 4.6) (*Reag-bot) ~Oh, well, I don't have to have to have this book read right away, and this show is.... distracting.~ [None of that really matters right now, anyway, because you're interrupted by a disembodied voice. Or, y'know, the PA system. Or whatever they use in the future. "Blue team, please report to briefing room #2. Blue team, please report to briefing room #2.] * Keiko gets closer and thinks back, ~I don't know about that, it doesn't--oops, the masters call.~ Someday, when I actualy have a power base, I shall make interupting my priestesses studies a killing offense. ( The masters have decided to get a move on with the plot after 18+ sessions of dragging their heels D: ) * Hotaru picks up her book, slides it under Ten's tray, and starts for the door. * Luana stands and stretches, then turns off the tv and continues reading her book as she walks out. * Keiko opens her wooden box and all the marbles fly into it, before she slams it shut. "Good luck on that," she murmurs dryly. The duck floats atop the box, and then she makes sure she's holding both in her arms as she also goes. She peels off to go into her room for a moment, though. (Yes, sadly the PCs are full of mysterious disappearance.) * Hotaru drops off the book and heads to room #2. [Luana will never find out who shot Pa Rappa. :(] (Chop Chop Master Onion of course. He always was a little shady.) [Anywho, you go to the room. Lydia is already there, waiting.] * Keiko gets rid of her wooden box, putting it on her bed, and then proceeds to briefingland. * Heinrick arrives promptly from *MYSTERIOUS LOCATION*, his arms behind his back as he nods his greetings to Control. * Keiko doesn't nod. Just holds the duck. She maintains a thin frown as she sits down. Why have you summoned us? ( To eat your brains! ) ( But not Luana's. She gets a cookie. ) (Then why is Ten here?) (Not to complain, but why do I get the cookie? Also, what kind?) ( Cheddar. ) (Because, goddess brains are superior) (Actually, they just need something to floss their teeth with afterwards.) [Lydia waits until everyone is in. "Good evening. I hope you've had ample time to rest after your first mission." She waits for no comments. "We have a situation."] * Luana closes the book and puts it on her lap, then looks up attentively. * Heinrick looks at her curiously. "I would suspect you would not call us here unless it was." He gets a more somber look. "What's the situation?" Go on. * Keiko just maintains her silence. [She certainly does! "Right now, a small Zukunft facility on the east edge of town is under attack." As she speaks, a monitor flips on, showing what looks like a corridor that runs maybe 30 feet, then ends in a T-intersection. A red light flashes repeatedly, and a guard wearing the Zukunft logo on his back runs down the corridor, turning the corner to the right. Almost imediately, he reappears, flying across the intersection to the left ( That get through? ) (to the left) (to the left) side.] (So close!) Do you have footage of the attackers? [A man steps around the corner. He's maybe in his mid-thirties, ruggedly handsome, with unkempt brown hair and a face that hasn't been shaved for a day or two. He wears a brown trenchcoat and carries a sword that almost seems to shine, even through the camera. He just looks at the camera, however, and the transmission ends abruptly.] How rude. [Lydia rewinds to where he turns towards the camera and pauses. "We don't know who this man is or what he's capable of. Obviously, he has some sort of paranormal ability. Also..."] * Keiko smiles thinly. "Wouldn't you?" [The screen zooms waaaaaaaaaaaay in on the sword. It's kinda fuzzy. "We've just recieved this footage, so we can't comfirm this yet, but that sword may be Durandal. Proceed with extreme caution until we can learn more about it."] ( Gimme history rolls! Woo! ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-2) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 4. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 11. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 8. (kerfailed) (Succeeds by 2.) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-2) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 12. (I r teh smrt) (Har. Just failed.) (Made~) (*basks in the ignorance with Heinrick) (I feel bad for H.) What do you know now? (He had, like, a 90% chance of success.) (*shrugs* The dice fall where they may.) This is all the information you have then? What in the facilities was the target? [While you're doing that, I'll move on a bit. The screen changes again to an outside camera. "More footage." Spotlights roam the ground around a fenced perimiter. Four silhouettes appear. The spotlights whip towards them, focusing on the same man. You can also just barely catch a glimpse of a girl in cargo pants and a sleeveless black shirt. She couldn't be older than her mid teens. But her left arm bears a strange fingerless gauntl ( Oh man. ) * Luana asks weakly, "-The- Durandal?" ( That sooooooooooooo didn't get through. ) (No, no it didn't) (fingerless gauntl) (strange fingerless gauntl) ( Wow, that far. ) fingerless gauntlet that runs as far as her elbow. It's grey, but with red tendrils running from a red spot that looks like an eye on the back of her hand. And it seems to be pulsating, like it were alive.] [Lydia pauses the video again, and points at her. "Based on this footage, we're assuming these are members of Claude Sherman's terrorists. However, reports indicate that Sherman isn't among them."] ["And yes, Durandal. Assuming it's not a fake, it's highly dangerous, especially in the wrong hands.] * Heinrick nods slightly to Luana. "Good. It seems you know of it." He pushes up his glasses. "Do we have a diagram of the facilities on file? I would like to know all accessible routes, if possible." *** Signoff: Luana (Read error: Connection reset by peer) *** Luana (WD@24-151-190-56.dhcp.kgpt.tn.charter.com) has joined channel #MC4 [Lydia waves a datacube. "Already taken care of. You can look at it on the way. Right now the guards at the facility are slowing them down, but they need reinforcements. Get over there quickly. Stop the attackers. Try to capture them alive, if possible. We need to interrogate them."] As you will it. Yes, ma'am. * Heinrick nods to Lydia and takes the datacube. "Understood." He turns to the rest of them. "If any of you need to make preparations, make it quick. I will meet you down in the garage shortly." [Lydia nods. "Mr. Johnson will provide you with a car. See if you can't keep the damages to a minimum this time. The Minister of Defense wasn't happy about the civilian vehicle you ruined last mission."] * Heinrick looks at Lydia and rubs his nose. "If we hadn't, the damage caused by the perpetrator may have been much worse. But we'll keep it in mind." He makes his way off. Given that these are supernatural opponents, and have yet to show signs of being bullet resistant, I do not belive I shall have to resort to such crude methods. * Keiko licks her lips and stands, petting her duck as she takes off. "Better get the communication things." * Luana stands up and nods, then heads back to her room to get changed into a T-shirt and slacks before heading to the garage. * Hotaru stands and goes. [One spinning MC4 logo later, you're on your way! IF there's any stuff you wanna say in the car, now's the time.] * Heinrick is busy driving. He's passed the data cube on to Tentaru so she can analyze any security/electronics systems they may need to know about. Besides, it's hard to use it himself while driving. (One car!) * Ten analizes the cube, and has Hotaru pop it in a cube player if there's one in the car. * Keiko is sitting in the car. "Durandal... how real do you think the fairy tales are, Luana?" [The facility isn't particularly big, so it doesn't take long to memorize.] I don't know... doesn't it seem a bit overkill to use it for something like this? Perhaps this is a field test. * Ten looks for info on the other two intruders. * Heinrick glances at Luana. "You seem to have been studying it, Miss Hall. What do you know about its potential then?" ( Ten, gimme aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..................... electronics (security) roll, I guess. ) I've only read about it in passing. It supposedly cut through a mountain in France. (I do so much better with computers rolls) 2d8-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-1) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 5. (Made by 3 if I can't apply power usage to that) [Ten catches a radio message that briefly describes "Four intruders: A man with a sword, a guy who might be a ninja, and..."] * Heinrick hmms at that. "Let's hope it's only legend then. What does it weigh?" * Keiko murmurs, "Yeah. No mountains here." I'm unsure, sir. Do you think Keiko could lift it? * Keiko glances to Heinrick a moment, then back. "Lifting it and pulling it from the guy are two different things." * Heinrick nods. "It is. Nevertheless, if it is as dangerous as the legends, it seems only fitting that it be a priority and an attempt made." What do the legends say about its capabilities? * Heinrick smirks slightly at Ten. "I believe "cut through a mountain in France" is sufficient information to take caution." (Whups, missed that line, add an "else" to mine) (Understood. Eliminate Heinrick snark then. Party pooper. ;_;) (Aww, your line still works) (Yeah, it does.) ( /me wonders how long this session will take. ) (True. We'll leave it then.) * Keiko has a brief smile at that, which fades away quickly. She moves her head slightly so she is looking into the rearview mirror and at Heinrick, and runs two fingers up the bridge of her nose. (As long as it takes for you to say we arrive. Anyway, I've now got some info on two of the three.) [You arrive! You're like totally there, man. Fer sure.] * Ten tilts her head. "The third memember of their team is being described as a ninja." * Heinrick glances in the mirror and gives a brief nod. [The facility is a one floor building, surrounded by a possibly electric fence with barbed wire at the top. Nothing seems wrong off hand, but you can hear a blaring siren, and gunfire!] [And there's the crushed remains of two security bots outside the building.] * Ten checks the area for fuctioning security bots o/~ [Zilch!] * Heinrick makes sure the car is parked well out of sight before stepping out of the vehicle and taking a glance around. * Heinrick looks for any available entrances. * Hotaru starts to unpack her helecopter collection. ( Hmm... I could save a lot of time if I just.... o/~ ) (Surpise! NINJA!) * Keiko expands her senses a little telepathically. Because it's good to detect things. (Actualy, that should be "And suddenly ninja! Everywere! One of them!) *** Luana_ (WD@24-151-190-56.dhcp.kgpt.tn.charter.com) has joined channel #MC4 *** Signoff: Luana (Read error: Connection reset by peer) * Keiko also says, "This is ours, isn't it? Or are they definitely waiting for us by now?" Our facility? Yes. Though we cannot assume that we still hold it. Somebody is still fighting. [Heinrick spots one in front of the building. It draws his attention, because six figures come running out of it. Two are the ones you saw on film previously. The third does indeed look kind of like a ninja. He's wearing a long coat with Chinese buttons, and a collar so high it covers his mouth. He's got a scar over one eye, though the eye itself seems to be intact. He has no obvious weapons, but hell if that means anything. ] ( That get through? ) (yep!) (Yes.) [The fourth figure is a burly man in his fourties, with blond hair and long side burns. He's got a very large automatic gun and a bandolier of bullets around one shoulder, and also carries a hammer at his side. ] [But right now he's mostly focussed on helping the last two to stand up: A man in his early twenties and a woman in her early thirties. Both have dripping wet hair and seem to be wearing nothing more than long white blankets. Neither seems to be able to stand very well.] ( K, done! ) [The rugged man with the possibly deadly sword takes the vanguard. He halts when he sees you, as do the others.] (How far away are they?) ( About... 50 ft. ) * Luana_ waits for orders, although she does start breathing very evenly and shifts her posture to that her weight is balanced. [The man in front speaks. "We're not looking for a fight. Let us go and we won't trouble you."] * Hotaru continues to unpack, ignoring everything. * Heinrick takes a deep breath and mutters. "Well then. So much for the element of surprise." He turns to Ten. "Make sure the exit's are blocked or at least prepared to be." He steps forward and speaks to the group. "You seem to have been doing enough fighting already though." ( They're already out of the building. ) (But there's still the perimeter.) ["They troubled us."] ( Which is a fence. Ten can't do much about that :P ) (Unless they plan on jumping the wire or just bulldozing through it. * Keiko steps forward with Heinrick, the air around her distorting slightly. (So they're just going to run through/cut an electric fence. It's still going to slow them down more than going through an open exit. :P) ( They might be able to do it. They have more magic swords than you do. ) * Hotaru gets the two larger helecopters prepped for flight. Obviously. You seem to be in the process of kidnapping. ["More like a rescue."] * Heinrick snorts. "Only if they asked to be rescued. I do not recall any such orders." ["Of course not. They don't tell you what really goes on at these labs, do they? And I bet you don't bother to ask."] * Keiko starts to bite her lip, hard. * Ten snorts. * Heinrick sighs and shrugs his shoulders slightly. "It's really none of my concern. But I suppose you know all about it and are willing to share the whole story then? Perhaps over a cup of tea." * Luana_ smiles slightly, just for a moment. [The girl with the gauntlet suddenly yells "No way! I'm staying!"] [Then without warning, the "ninja" tosses something at the ground, ans smoke billows up around them. Gimme init!] (Doe she sound like she wants to stay or like she wants to go?) 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8+7) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 16. 2d8+12 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana_ (2d8+12) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 20. 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+8) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 12. (Dear LORD, Dicey.) ( She sounds upset. ) 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+7) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 17. (Is she being carried by them or what?) ( No, this is the one with the gauntlet. ) ( The teenager. ) (Yeah, the subjects are just toweled/clothed.) (I am wholy confused then, but I think that's how we're supposed to be at this point so it's acceptable!) ( Um... I might be hearing thunder. ) (And if Dicey gives me one more shitty roll, it's officially going to upgrade to "Jesus fuck") (And that's ungood.) ( Hard to tell. Could be a car in the distance. ) (Thunder bad) (Check the weather service?) ( It says partly cloudy. ) ( But if it starts raining or I hear deffinate thunder, I'm gone. ) (check) [Ninja, Luana, Guy-With-Sword, Brute, Man, Woman, Keiko, Ten, Teen, Heinrick] [Thanks to the smoke, you have pretty much no idea what the ninja is doing. Luana!] (Can I call out something or do I have to wait for init?) ( If it's brief. ) * Heinrick calls out after the smoke bomb, covering his face when he can. "First priority is the hostages. Make sure they remain unharmed!" (Brief enough?) ( Yah ) ( That's deffinately thunder.... Maybe it will go by though. It's way in the distance. ) ( Hahaha. ) ( "Partly Cloudy" changed to "Thunder in the vicinity" in the last 5 minutes. ) (>.<) (Are we stopping, then?) ( Not yet ) (kay) ( I'd really like to finish this, if possible. ) * Luana_ pulls her shirt over her nose and mouth and rushes into the smoke to strike the first non-toweled person she finds. Hopefully the ninja. [They're some distance away, so that'll take some time.] (...) (Um, what's Luana's Body?) (Kay! Just rushing towards them, then. ^^) (8) (Because she can run that in m per round, can't she? 50 feet isn't many meters) ( orz. Screwy metric system. ) (If she has a 3 body, she can sprint that distance.) (In a round.) (I think she's got a bit more than that.) (It's 6 meters a body.) ( That puts them way the hell closer than I wanted, though. Probably way the hell closer than you want, too. But ok. ) (You can change it to 50m if you want.) (That would make Ten much happier) (Jesus, 50 m? I'll never get there. ;_;) (Look on the bright side. They'll never get to you.) ( I'ma do that. ) (Sadly, Luana can still make it within 5 meters, which is melee range.) [The other guys are also hidden by the smoke, so we'll skip on down to Keiko.] (Yes, she can.) (I have no idea how well she'll hit at top speed into smoke, but! (Well, she'll take the sprinting penalty unless she has the Combat Mastery Feat) ( Ok. ) ( Look, my judgement of measurements isn't good, I admit. ) ( But even I know that nobody has a 5 meter long arm. ) (I can wait a round, it's okay!) (Snerk. It's not arm length.) (Let's just wait the round and move. Next!) (It's that melee combat takes place at that abstract range. Anyway.) [Right. Keiko's turn.] ( Fine. You're 55 meters away :P ) (Snerk.) * Keiko runs forward a bit, because she also has to get closer. She is not a sniper. [That's going to take even longer! Twice as long as Luana, in fact. Ten!] * Ten sends the helecopters in to try and blow the smoke cloud back twords the building! [They'll also take some time to get there. And the teen's also hidden, so... Heinrick!] (/me does division about three meters per second) ( About two rounds. ) ( Two rounds of movement, that is ) * Heinrick runs forward towards the smoke, trying to use all his senses. He judges where Luana is going and pulls out one of his many vial, trying to throw it in their vicinity but well away from Luana. (Tear gas, btw.) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-3) and gets -1, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "That was close. One cycle later and you'd have fit nicely into a sandwich." (Win) (Hooray!) (o/~) (Two bad rolls, one good one.) ( Almost win. I'm not quite sure what you mean by in the vicinity, but away from Luana, since Luana IS in the vicinity. ) (Two wrongs -do- make a right!) (....) (She's at least 5-10 meters away or something!) (He can throw PAST? It's gasious. It spreads.) (gaseous) [Hokay. Well, you deffinately hear screams.] (Do I have any idea of how long the tear gas will take to dissipate? 'Cause I'm not running into a cloud containing one of his vials.) ( Anyone got heightened senses: sight? ) (o/~) ( Roll it aaatt.... Eh, it's a secret. ) (No, I have fragging telepathy.) (I have heightened awareness?) (I just am not close enough.) ( Only sight, not awareness. ) (Nope, I've just got six eyes) (And night vision) (So only roll with the sight bonus?) ( Ten can make an awareness check too, then. At another secret penalty :D ) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 5. ( Yah ) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 0. (Make by 11 if Mind, 6 if Body) (Definatly missed if on body, might have made if the penatly for mind isn't more than 3) [Both Ten and Heinrick spot the ninja to the left of the smoke cloud, well away from the tear gas. Just in time to see him hurl a pellet that lands between Heinrick and Keiko. Both of you gimme def rolls.] (What the hell is with everyone using gas.) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 0. ( Just that kinda night. ) (I don't know, but I'm glad I've got helis) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 9. (Miss by 4.) (Can I try to pull her with me?) (Defend others rule. Not sure if I can if I don't have extra defenses though) (You'll have a hard time grabbing the force field.) ( I'll let you do it, but with the +2 penalty. ) ( Oh yeah. ) ( Nevermind that :P ) (Yep. Nevermind!) [Heinrick reacts in time to evade! Keiko... Not so much. And wouldn't you know it? It's bleedin' tear gas. Keiko's at a +2 to stuff.] (This is why you need an air tight FF) [Luana!] (Some of us need air to breathe.) (Details) (It's times like this I wish I had more than one gas mask. Alas...) * Luana_ , having not seen the ninja, continues running and hits the first non-toweled person she finds. ( Now, Luana, gimme an awareness roll, at +4 ) * Keiko coughs and shields her eyes with one arm. "Damn... *cough* ... gas..." 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana_ (2d8) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 6. (Made~) *** Luana_ is now known as Luana 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-4) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 5. [Luana notices something sharp and pointy beneath the gas. Actually, a lot of somethings sharp and pointy. She probably decides not to continue.] (Ooh, nevermind, then.) (Freaking ninjas.) (Damn caltrops.) ( You can revise your action if you want. ) * Luana skids to a stop and backs up, waiting to see if anyone comes out of the cloud. (Hold action.) (How much can we see each other now or is the smoke still fairly thick?) ( It's still fairly thick. This is only the second round. ) (*nods* So only Luana knows the caltrops are there, right?) ( Yeah ) [Nobody else emerges from the cloud. Ten's choppers, however, need defense rolls.] (How many?) ( 2 ) 2 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2 2d8-2) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 8 9. (Compleatly blew both of them. This is what I get for relying on the small size for defense ;_;) [One of Ten's choppers suddenly collides into another with such a force that they both fall to the ground, disabled.] *** WD (WD@24-151-190-56.dhcp.kgpt.tn.charter.com) has joined channel #MC4 (Which ones have I lost?) *** Signoff: Luana (Read error: Connection reset by peer) *** WD is now known as Luana ( How many did you send out? ) (The two big ones and three of the small ones) 2 d2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (2 d2) and gets a natural 2 for a result of 1 2. ( A big one and a little one. ) (Son of biznach) [Keiko] * Keiko coughs as she continues to advance. If she gets in telepathy range, she might even try to get a lock on the people in the crowd as she tries to disperse some of the gas. HEy, you know what you can move with crappy TK? Air! (Her TK's not THAT crappy anymore. :P) ( Keiko sweeps the air in Heinrick's direction. d'oh! ) (I mean, she can't lift a person yet but...) (It's still pretty lousy. Anyway.) (I'm amaized that they keep making the +6 penalty ranged attacks to hit the bitty copters ;_;) (Plus I think blind shooting still only negates half the vision penalty) *** Signoff: Luana (Ping timeout) [Ten!] *** Luana (WD@24-151-190-56.dhcp.kgpt.tn.charter.com) has joined channel #MC4 * Ten has the remaining larger heli hang back and try to help Keiko blow her cloud away and has the remining bitty ones gain altitude to try and out range the forefield user that just smashed two of them. ( Gimme.... Hmmmm.... ) * Ten also uses the radio. "They also have a forcefieled user." ( Awareness rolls at.... +....8 ) 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8+8) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 17. (no) (With or without Sight as well?) ( You can use sight ) 2d8+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+2) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 8. (Make if mind, miss if body) * Keiko responds, ~Two *cough* hostiles in the cloud, and the *cough* experiments.~ (And you should tell me which it is so I don't keep asking that. :P) ( Sorry, I should have said sight rolls ) ( But then people would ask if awareness counted, so :P ) ( Anyhow, 2 other people need to make 'em. ) (I meant body or mind. :P) ( Oh. Usually mind. ) ( Pretty sure body's mainly for touch and taste senses. That's how I read it, anyhow. ) 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+8) and gets 10, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "I'm a child of extremes. Have a crit, and a nice day to go with it." 2d8+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8+4) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 17. (I sense well.) (I am non-sense.) * Heinrick frowns as he looks at the ground and speaks into the sets. "Keep your eyes on the ground as well. There appears to be a moving shadow. Miss Hanano, you especially." [Keiko spots it right away. Woo.] [Heinrick's turn] * Luana says into the radio, "Caltrops on the ground inside the cloud, I think." * Heinrick takes a gas mask out of his coat and puts it on, since he hasn't been effected by the gas yet (sorry Keiko!). He's heading in the direction of where the hostages are, mindful of the caltrops now if Luana's message gets through in time. (s/are/were. He's not sure if they're still there but headed in that general direction with the hopes that he can spot them when he gets close) [Heinrick doesn't get very far before the ninja tosses a kunai at him. Gimme a defense roll, Heinrick! ] 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 4. (I are the defender.)

(Heinrick made his defense.) [Heinrick does not get kunai'd. And this needs to wrap up soon. Luana] ( We'll finish this round, I guess. ) * Luana takes out her gun and shoots at the ninja. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-3) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 8. (Fail) [He does not get shot.] [The guy with the sword stumbles out of the cloud, also to the left. "You're making a big mistake." He coughs. He doesn't do anything. Yet.] [Keiko!] ( Keeeeeeiiiiko ) [Ten] * Keiko turns her mental attention towards the coughing man, adding another brain to her telepathic selection. And then reaches out to thw two enemies she's managed to find and bends. "Drop your weapons," she mutters, before coughing. (Fucking christ, Brett.) ( You took ages, dude >.> ) (3 minutes max.) (Wheras Luana's pose was 2 minutes, max.) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-2) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 12. (Lots of fail! Go tear gas, you made me fail.) [Phail] (Never let it be said irritants didn't do anything.) [Ten!] * Ten searches for the mysterious moving shadow! ( Sight roll at +4 ) 2d8+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8+4) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 12. (Wiff) ( Actually... Night vision probably wouldn't help you find a shadow anyhow. ) [Ten finds it not.] (Use the other action to make sure the gas is moving away from Keiko) [Keiko is clear of gas now.] [She also sees the shadow glide across the ground towards Ten.] [Heinrick] * Heinrick looks in the direction of the guy. "Really now. I wasn't aware we were the ones who made the first agressive move." He makes his way back to the hostages to help them back into the building and lead them out of the cloud. (The one with the sword who commented.) [Heinrick sees no hostages. For that matter, he sees no big burly guy.] ( And... Ten! Your big chopper needs a defense roll. ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-2) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 4. (made!) * Heinrick makes a brief sound under his breath. [Ten's chopper suddenly darts towards the ground with an unseen force, but she manages to regain control in time to keep it from turning into scrap metal.] [Session on hold.]
