[Day: Tuesday, May 5th. Time: 2:40 p.m.] [You're outside the Reichstag, which is essentially the Congress, for Germany. It's been taken over by that one guy you just can't seem to get rid of, Freidrich Stolt. He's there along with van Trier, about 20 goons, a lot of hostages (including the vice-Chancellor), and a cannister of virus (Cut: a cannister of virus) [Nearby you are Karin, Cyra and Sebastian. Not so near you are Klaus (who's in charge of this operation), Odval, Kranz, Adela, Gertrude, annnnnnd... um.... that other guy whose name I forgot. The fat guy.] [Werner Gruen. That's his name.] [There's also a number of section 1 squads and a whole lot of police, who have put up a perimiter around the building.] (And the dude who hit on Keiko and Hotaru and stuff!) * JesseLman is now known as Togo [He's around there somewhere, too, yeah.] (He r dork.) [Asians are totally his type.] (He is. I order you to seduce him and gather section one's secrets.) ( And by 'seduce', you mean 'break', correct? ) (The blood, she goes everywhere.) (ANYWAY.) [Anyhow, Stolt has demanded the bodies of Wolfgang Bauer, Ludwig Bernstein and Woltheim Schoener. Go look them up. Also, the Society has told you they're planning to take care of Stolt. Whatever that means.] [But you have a plan to get at him before that. Hope you remember it!] [Start] ( As I recall, we were going to stage a distraction with section 1 to look like they were gonna try the roof while we went through the sewers. ) (Hey, isn't there some chick they released who Keiko's trying to pull over the line?) (She was about to, more or less, which is why I was checking range.) (Which she's not in yet.) So, any objections to using a feint by Section 1 towards the roof to distract them while we go through the sewers? * Keiko glances to Heinrick and mutters, "You want me to pull her across the line before something goes wrong?" * Jamie says nothing. * Roseli shakes her head, then glances at Keiko. * Heinrick sighs. "It's too dangerous to leave her loose if she's infected." He nods to Keiko. (Huh.) * Togo nods, and sets about informing whoever he has to inform while Keiko does her thing. ( Whomever? ) (Yes. Also, that'd be Klaus.) * Luana nods at Togo, but is partially glaring at the guy with the Asian chick fetish. (Say Brett, is the vaccine Heinrick made earlier only short term or is it vaccinated permanently?) (Because I totally don't remember who got the vaccinations.) * Keiko moves over to attempt to get within 10 meters so she can drag the woman across the line, her lips pressed together in a slight frown. ( Sorry, had to step away. ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 15 for a result of 13. ( Mmm ) * Togo walks over to Klaus and does any informing he needs to do. ( Lesseeee... Keiko, gimme a body roll to get through the rest of the people bunched up around that area :P ) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 8. (Keiko, just fly over them. :P) (Fail. But I could have told you that. There's 10 meters of people?) (Unless we're trying not to show powers. I wasn't clear on that.) (Neither was I, hence the initial low key approach.) (Frankly, she wouldn't even try to push through. Too much body contact.) ( K, welll... Keiko gets there. ) [Meanwhile, Togo approaches Klaus, who's still talking with the others. Actually, it's Kranz talking now. "So if we just put some skilled men around the fake bodies, they'll be able to walk right up to the front door. Then a lightning strike..."] * Keiko gets close enough, and then tries grabbing the woman and moving her to the line that she can be hustled into custody or whatever. ( Gimme a grabbin's roll at -4 bonus ) (She's... resisting? Okay...) * Jamie looks away from the building and subconciously rubs at her ears. 2d8-7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-7) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 0. (Make by 7.) [Keiko succeeds.] [Klaus discusses with Kranz, "That will get your men to the front door, but then what? The cannister's on the second floor."] * Togo clears his throat. "I have an alternate proposal." * Keiko pulls the distraction across the line, then, so that things don't go horiffically awry with people rushing past the line, and then just turns her back and heads back to the group. [Kranz argues, "We'll use silenced weapons and take down the guards quietly. If we can do that without alerting them..."] On the off chance they won't be watching the front door? [Both Klaus and Kranz look at Togo. Well, Kranz glares, more like.] [Klaus nods to Togo. "Let's hear it."] * Roseli walks up behind Togo, silently backing him up. She's so intimidating, all 5'5" and female. (Also crazy. Ssh.) ( Adela isn't that tall, and she's freakin' scary! ) Section 1 feints towards the roof. Make preparations like you're going in full bore. Bring in a coupla choppers, rope, the whole works. Get them looking up while my people sneak in through the sewers. It's no guarantee, but a small force has a better chance of sneaking in. * Heinrick gets closer to the crowd to make sure that things don't go horribly wrong. It helps to have an authoritativishish person around. In theory at least! * Jamie hangs back. She's good at it. * Keiko mutters, "There," before petting her duck. AFter a moment, she thinks at Luana and Jamie, still with that thin frown on her face, ~Eileen sent me a message through the Society woman who escaped. Torturing girls.~ [Gruen jabs a finger at Togo. "'Your people', eh? This isn't time for some glory contest. Lives are at stake!"] If you would get over your section one and two hang ups, we'd be able to do this. Lives are at stake. Togo's plan is solid. * Roseli looks at Klaus. * Jamie glances at Keiko and then tries to hear what Rose is saying over the crowd. * Luana 's gaze snaps to Keiko. ~God. ...Can you reach one of the guardians, tell them?~ [Gruen responds. "Yeah? Well maybe MY people should go in through the tunnels while you be the decoys. My men have years of experience in combatting terrorists. How about your section, huh? I say we can't leave the lives of those innocents up to a unit that only exists for experimentation."] * Keiko shakes her head slightly, thinking back at Luana, ~Heinrick already knows. He was there.~ [Gertrude snickers. "I've been doing this almost as long as you, Gruen."] * Roseli has left #mc4 * Roseli has joined #mc4 A team of six people, with three teenage girls, makes for a pretty lousy distraction force. ( Jeez Rose, you don't have to get THAT upset over it. ) * Roseli nods. "No intimidation in numbers." [Before Klause can say anything, there's an explosion! D'oh.] You folks have numbers, guns and equipment. You look the part of a breaching for- *turns* * Roseli turns as well. Yeees? * Jamie ducks and clamps her hands over her ears. [The explosion occured right near the ambulances. Ambulae. Whatevers.] (There are people closer to check it out, then?) * Roseli puts a hand on Jamie's shoulder. Aw. * Luana covers her ears at the noise, then turns to Togo. * Jamie flinches slightly at the touch and looks up at Rose. The hell was that? Did they fire something from the building? [Then Stolt starts talking over the external PA system. "We're getting tired of waiting. Give us the bodies, or other hostages will meet the same fate as that woman."] * Keiko starts, then closes her eyes and says quietly, right as Stolt starts talking, "The woman." * Roseli looks at Klaus. "Well?" [Klause nods to Rose. "It's a solid plan, and we're out of options."] They wired the hostage. Jesus... * Roseli looks to Gertrude. "Let your team know." * Heinrick shakes his head slightly. "It would seem they're willing to use *any* means necessary. This is not going to be easy." [Kranz stares at him, "But-!" But Klaus cuts him off. "Choybalsan and I will accompany you." He turns to Adela. "Moller, you're in charge out here." And then to Kranze and Gruen. "You two, gather your men. You're going to be the decoy."] (Random e's!) * Togo nods, salutes, and goes to gather everyone up. * Roseli nods and goes to do the same, heading over to Karin, Odval, and co. [Gruen grumbles, "Yes sir." But not Kranz. "This is outrageous! You're risking all our lives here, Klaus! Section 2's already shot my men in the back once. Even your mentor Gabriel turned on them."] (Hey! I shot him in the front!) [They continue talking while you go away. Gertrude comes with you, as does Odval.] * Jamie takes a few steps twords following Rose. (Okay, to be clear, he wants all of sec. 2, along with Odval and himself, to go through the tunnels?) ( Yep. ) (That's what I thought!) ( It's a big building, so you're probably going to end up splitting up. ) ( Plus he's not comfortable with having only one chemist there. ) * Roseli gets to Karin and Sebastian and whoever else is there. "Section one is creating a distraction, and we're going through the tunnels with Odval and Klaus." They're not happy about it, but no time. (Quick! All the women together! It always works in horror movies!) (These women? You should see the guys we dislike. ;P) ( Before you enter the tunnels, you must don the Helmet of Justice ) Ready to go. (Turn to the lef... no your other left!) [Karin nods. "I understand."] * Heinrick heads back for the group. "It would seem we have a plan now?" * Roseli nods at Heinrick. "Going through the tunnels." Section 1's feinting towards the roof to distract them, Section 2 is... exactly. * Heinrick nods back. "We don't have any time to waste then. Do we have a schematic?" (Note to self: holographic projectors are awesome, get one.) * Togo turns to Luana. "Obvious, but stealth is key, so fire instead of the pistol." [Gertrude smirks. "Sure you wanna come, Oswald? There's no room for you to hide down there."] (Also, Klaus should have realized that if we're down *there*, we can't shoot them in the back!) [Karin glares at Gertrude. "Cyra and I can handle ourselves in close quarters just fine, Gertrude."] (Well, Jamie still could but...) (Klaus isn't the problem. ;P) * Luana takes her hand off her gun and sighs. "Yes, sir." ( Jamie has a schematic. In her head :X ) (The other K guy then) ( Klaus? He's still talking with Kranz. Unless you wanna try to step in. ) (I've already got one from the last time somebody asked me to get a map of the place.) [Odval frowns. "I-I've never been in an operation this big before. Usually I just do lab work."] ( Oh, Odval. You'll be 30 and still single by the time this game is over ; ; ) You'll be fine. You're good for this operation; why he sent you. * Togo patpats Luana. "Hey, I don't get to use any grenades, so it's disappointing for me too, but you'll make do." * Heinrick smiles faintly. "Well, the important thing is to make sure you don't die. Then that they are incapacitated before anyone else can die as well." * Keiko rolls her eyes slightly at Togo before thinking at Jamie, ~Do you have that map on-mind?~ Oh, I have a question about grenades for later. Please remind me if I forget. * Jamie nods. ~Yes.~ [Klause comes over. "I've got a schematic for the tunnels." He hands out datacubes. "They were built in 1941 as a means of emergency escape during the war. We'll enter from the sewers a block away. They connect to the sewers here," He points. "We'll have to pass through an old World War II bunker here (he points again) before we get into the tunnel proper. They'll come out in the basement here," he points again. (Grabbed them just before the session ended last week.) ( Hope that got through. ) (He points again.) ( Also, I totally made up that BS about the war. Wouldn't surprise me if it was true though :P ) * Roseli takes the cube and... er... activates it? * Heinrick nods and takes one. "Excellent. Do you have any suggestions for once we get in?" * Togo nods at Luana, and listens to the tunnel description. [Once we get there, we'll need to split up into two groups. One will go after Stolt and the virus. The other will head towards the meeting room, here," point, "where the majority of the hostages are being held."] * Roseli nods. [He passes the cube around. "Your group will go after Stolt. You have more experience in dealing with him. I'll take Choybalsan and Section 2's Red team to free the hostages."] Understood. ["The tunnels are sound proof, so if there are guards, we should be able to disable them without problem. But make sure none escape."] [[[*Tutorial*: How to stealthily take down enemies. Sneak up slowly behind them and press the :D button.]]] (:D :D :D :D :D) [[[*Note: Doesn't work if you're controlling Keiko or Jamie, 'cause they're WEAK]]] * Heinrick nods slightly. "Though I would have suggested Keiko to help keep the hostages silent. I'll go with your decision though." (Like Kieko need... wait, when do her powers ever actaly work?) (It's a good question!) [He glances back at the building briefly. "We have to be through the tunnel in 15 minutes. Let's move."] (Quiet. Mechanical effectiveness doesn't negate IC suggestions of use of powers!) * Roseli nods, gestures for Jamie to come with her, and gets a move on. * Togo gets with the moving. ( FF? ) * Heinrick moves as well. * Jamie moves it on down. * Luana gets on with gettin' on. [Shortly, you reach the sewer entrance on the next block. It stinks down there.] * Roseli moves the manhole aside, manhole cover willing, and goes through the sewers. Ew, seriously. [All the npcs get into the sewers. No I am not lazy.] (Heinrick could pick it up and use it as a thrown weapon.) (YOU ARE SO) * Jamie covers he noes and mouth with her hands and is turning faintly green. (he noes? Or her nose?) (Oh noes!) (Nose) (Heightened Senses FTL! x_x) * Heinrick snorts as he starts to enter in. "If I had known we were coming here, I would have mixed something more...fragrant to compete with the smell." * Luana can't voer her nose since she wants both hands ready to rock, but she looks like she might be sick. (*cover) * Keiko doesn't look pleased either, putting her duck to her mouth and thinking at Luana, ~Be glad you can't sense Jamie.~ * Togo pulls out his assault rifle (with silencer!) once they get down into the sewers. He also pulls out a handful of car air fresheners and holds them out. [You run into 0 alligators in the sewers. Plenty of rats, though.] ~Yuck.~ (Assault rifle! WITH SILENCER! 10 bullets a second... OF SILENCE.) * Roseli does her best to breathe and move normally. * Luana tucks an air freshener around her wrist. * Jamie follows along in the dark, the normaly overwhelming pine scent not actualy helping any. * Heinrick does too. For his complaint, he seems to be handling it pretty well. [But eventually the sewers lead into a path with no water. You could call it a tunnel. Har har. It ends at a thick door with a wheel, kinda like an old vault.] * Roseli walks to the door and looks it over. "Just turn the wheel?" she asks Klaus. [Klaus nods. "It leads to the bunker."] * Roseli nods. "Heinrick?" He's the one with the arm. [Gertrude is too!] * Heinrick heads over. He's the powerhouse of the party! And the scientist. Wait. (Sure, but I don't interact with Gertrude on a regular basis. Thank goodness.) * Heinrick also goes to turn the wheel! (Heinrick's more likeable than Gertrude. And you *know* you have problems if Heinrick's the more likeable option.) ( Gimme a strength roll at +2 ) 2d8-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-6) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 2. [Heinrick opens the heavy door! Fshhhhhh.... is the noise it makes.] [Klaus walks in, sweeping his flashlight around. "looks empty."] * Roseli steps in after him, shining her own light. "Hm." * Keiko keeps her brane senses out. Hopefully with her footballfield+ range, she can keep them from being surprised! * Heinrick looks around, asiding to Klaus. "Were you expecting it not to be?" He doesn't take out *his* flashlight, because that'd just be silly. * Jamie 's just glad to be out of the sewer. * Togo follows the others in. [He nods. "If you were going to prepare an ambush in the tunnels, this would be the place for it.] [Karin, Odval and Cyra bring up the rear.] (And then GERTRUDE AND SEBASTIAN AMBUSH US) (Betcha didn't see that coming!) (THOSE BASTARDS *falls over dead*) * Luana floats a small fireball next to her head for light. * Heinrick nods slightly. "Sometimes, people don't take the expected place precisely because it's expected though. We should keep our guard." ( Gimme an awareness check aaat.... +6 ) (What sense?) 2d8+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+6) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 13. (Yeah no!) ( Sight ) 2d802 2d8+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d802) and gets a natural 721 for a result of 721. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+4) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 17. (Err...) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-2) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 7. (Yeah, no.) 2d8+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8+4) and gets a natural 15 for a result of 19. (Yis!) (So close to critfail!) 2d8+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8+2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 12. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 14. (Not so much) ( Nope ) * Heinrick glances around and then peers, before hissing quickly. "From above." * Roseli looks up, training her gun thataway too while she's at it. * Heinrick readies his daggers as well and also looks for cover. ( Wheeeee... Everyone gimme a ranged defense roll at +2 ) (Jamie, tell me you brought your choppers with you, at least. ;P) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-2) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 9. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-2) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 6. (No) (Can I just try to put my shield up?) (The armed ones ae a bit big...) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 6. 2d8-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-1) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 6. (Yes.) (Yes.) (Missed by 1) 2d8-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-1) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 6. ( made ) 2d8+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+2) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 15. (Quick. Someone punch Jamie and heal her.) (Nearly guaranteed miss. Did I mention 'Can I put/have my shield up'?) ( Maul of Healing! ) ( Rose and Togo are actually still injured from the last mission ) ( So's Luana ) ( Although Rose is the only one with any kind of severe injury ) ( Where me damn rules? :X ) (I'm so very awesome like that. But I got to eat hot dogs.) (So, Brett, can I make some retro active piloting/driving rolls to get something armed down here?) (If you were Nasira, it'd be time to jump off a building.) (While on fire.) (So you could set somebody else on fire.) (Yes, in the sewers. Why are you looking at me like that?" (Woo hoo, I wanna play S3 again!) ( Go ahead. ) ( And everyone roll init, too. ) ( Man. These rolls. >.> ) 2d8+14 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8+14) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 18. ( All the NPCs made it except Odval :X ) 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8+7) and gets a natural 3 for a result of 10. 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+8) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 18. (So, I do hope these are robots or big super-mind-shielded freaks.) 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+7) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 18. 2d8+12 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8+12) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 22. 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+8) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 15. ( Too many npcs >.< ) ( Shoulda had the ambush after we split up. =P ) (But then we wouldn't have had glorious exposition!) [Order is: Sebastian, Luana, ???, Gertrude, Togo, Heinrick, Keiko, Hans, Cyra, Rose, Karin, Odval, Jamie] ( I hope I didn't miss anyone. ) (Klaus.) ( Oh. ) (And by Hans you mean Heinrick?) ( No Heinrick is Heinrick ) (no. Heinrick's in there too.) ( Hans is Klaus :X ) (OH. Okay.) ( Hokay.... This will take a sec ) [Something with a Fsssst! sound comes hurtling your way from above. Heinrick, Rose, Togo, and, um, most of the npcs manage to dive out of the way. Karin's able to push Cyra away, as well. Jamie, Luana, Keiko and Odval, aren't though, and die horrible horrible deaths. ] [Or rather, they just get covered with something. Something extremely sticky. Ewwwwww.] ( Please don't let it be the big muscular guy in the speedo up there. ) ( Nah, that comes later. ) (I'm eww.) ( Attacks and defense are at a +2 due to the lack of lighting. ) (I thought that was Stolt.) ( And all the wards and odval are tangled. ) ( Stolt doesn't wear a speedo. Just really tight pants. ) ( Even for me? ) (Brett: Heightened senses/blindfighting help with that? And I presume that Togo's immune) ( Blindfighting does. Heightened senses doesn't though. ) [Sebastian reacts first, flinging a globe of light towards the eight red dots on the ceiling. The ball misses them, but when it strikes the ceiling, it bursts, creating a small area of light that lasts just long enough for you to get a look at your attacker. The eight dots are the eyes of an enormous black spider, one that looks like it has jaws made of razors, and claws on the end of its feet.] [Luana!] ( Tangled means +4 to attack, no defense and no complicated movement, by the way. ) ( +4 to physical attacks, anyhow. ) (Like mechanical looking spider or actual spider spider?) ( An actual spider. ) (Good to know.) ( Not every monster in this game has to be mechanical :X ) (ZOMG, time for charm animal to acutaly WORK!) * Luana sets herself on fire in an attempt to burn off the goo, lighting up everywhere except for an area roughly the outline of a sports bra and shorts. A girl's gotta have her modesty, after all. Incidentally, this probably lights things up slightly. ( Luana's armored clothes are at least flame retardant, so they shouldn't immediately burn up ) [Luana burns off much of the web! Mostly what's left are a few burning tatters, and a whole bunch of web in the outline of a sports bra and shorts.] (How's movement?) [She does light up the area around herself significantly, though. Enough to get rid of the penalty, we'll say.] ( She can move. It's not a very high level special attack ) (Isn't there rules for destroying tangle?) [Unfortunately for Luana, setting herself on fire also seems to have gotten the spider's attention. It falls from the ceiling, armored claws up, ready to impale her.] ( The entanglement has 10 hp per level of special attack. ) ( And lasts until its hp is brought to 0 ) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-4) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 5. (Make) [Luana rolls out of the way as the spider hits thr ground, its claws creating two small craters where she was an instant ago. But no sooner does it land than it takes a swipe at her again.] 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-3) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 5. (Ha!) [Luana avoids the spider as it swipes at her a second time! But it's a quick bugger, and tries for a third!] (Hell's bells) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-2) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 7. (Made.) (At least I'm eating up its attacks, I guess) (Wow, woman. How many levels of extra defenses do you have?) ( Well, there's only one of it, and like 10 of you. I had to give it something to make it a bit of a challenge :P ) (Wait, how much less is it for every defense?) (I thought it was +4?) (oooh) ( I thought it was +2 >.> ) (+4 for each defense after the first, assuming no ED.) ( o: ) (Then I'm getting smacked around) (Nope. Tri-Stat is FREAKING BRUTAL.) ( Araaaaaaaaa... Hokay..... ) (Nevermind!) (That's why two attacks a round knocked Rose out super fast, remember?) ( Lesse.... ) (+2 wouldn't have been so bad. x.x) ( Luana still made the 2nd, right? ) (es) ( Yah, so just the last. ) (Well, at least I'm on fire. TAKE THAT, SPIDER.) [Just when Luana thought she was save, the spider jabs her with its claw. Ouch. What's worse, the claws are apparently flame retardant. But probably worse of all, they've also got some sort of stickiness to them that's keeping Luana attached.] (Where'd I get stabbed?) ( Oh, I nearly forgot! The spider is a -2 bonus to hit due to its size. ) ( mmmmm.... We'll say the arm. ) [Gertrude fires on the spider with a pistol. "God damn it! No wonder they didn't have anyone guarding the tunnels."] ( And she hits! ) (So that makes us null, doesn't it, Brett?) (Since there's a +2 lighting penalty?) * Luana screams and starts crying when it pulls her around. ( Well, it gives you a -2 bonus since Luana's lighting up the area nice and good. ) (Yeah.) [Togo!] (Gotcha) * Togo sees the spider focusing on Luana and fires a fusilade up at it from his assault rifle. "Someone cut off that limb that has Luana!" 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-5) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 4. ( made by 5 ) ( Dammit, I could have sworn I had Togo's combat stats marked somewhere. ) ( Ok, here we go ) ( Togo has a separate combat sheet I worked up. ) [Togo puts a number of holes in the spider's flank.] ( Yeah, but I dunno what I did with it. ) [Heinrick!] * Heinrick takes out one of his knives and throws it at the beast's eye while he moves to an area with slightly more cover. "Wish I could, but I'm not exactly equipped for that." 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 9. [Heinrick's knife flies just barely past the eye.] [Keiko!] * Keiko 's shield comes up to at least protect her, even if the goo's still weighting her down. She then looks towards Luana and the Spider and grips her duck tight as she yells at it, mentally and out loud, ~"Let her GO."~ (Animal Control! Maybe it'll even work.) ( I knew you'd do that. ) (Knew she'd use her powers in a way that they were meant to be used? OH REALLY?) ( Actually, I'm not so sure that's the way they were meant to be used. ) ( Thanks to the incredible vagueness of Tristat and that power in particular. ) ('Command them to do simple activities'. I believe 'let go' is simple.) (And he's inside my area PMV.) (Let go should work. It's not like she's asking it to do algebra. ^^) (If he has above 2 mind, the attribute may no longer work (since that's Tristat's definition of 'animals') but then we get into the fact that it's _intelligent_, and mind control suddenly should become viable.) (It says it's like Mind control for animals in the second sentence.) ( That's not what it says. ) ( It says "Human control is covered by the Mind Control Attribute." That's not the same. ) ( I'm going to treat it as mind control ) (It's a good approach!) ( So roll for control :P ) (Using PU (Mind Control) or PU (Animal Summon/Control) ?) (Do the levels of Animal Control count as Mind Control levels do, so that I'm rolling at -1, and it's defending at +1?) ( Animal ) ( It's not going to have much of a defense, but yeah ) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-3) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 10. (... bare make. Thank you, game.) (*smacks the dice upside the head*) [Whether or not that worked, well... You'll find out. If I don't forget.] (It... can't let go?) (No its turn) (^not even) [Meanwhile, Klausdraws his twin-bladed swords and hacks away at one of its legs.] [And carves it off, for that matter. I guess? >.> No rules for that, either.] [Cyra also puts a big sized hole in it with the power of her sniper rifle.] [Which brings us to Rose!] * Roseli strafes to get a clear shot at the spider and fires her pistol. 2d8-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-6) and gets -4, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "A WINNER IS YOU!" (Yeah okay.) ( Araaaa. ) (Boom! Headshot!) [Rose manages to put out an eye! That spider's not looking too good now.] (She forgot the headlock part!) (One out of eight!) [Karin shouts something in a language none of you understand and thrusts her hand out, and the leg sticking Luana is cut in half by an unseen force. Which is good since she's not being dragged around anymore. And bad because it's still attached and cutting into her.] [Odval, um, squirms in web.] [Jamie!] * Jamie strugges with her webbing, not to escape, but to draw the pistol Rose gave her, she shoots and... 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 5. (Scores!) (Aw, that's my girl!) ( Did you remember the +4? :P ) (She has blindfight.) (That's only on melee attacks!) ( She's tangled. ) ( No, it's physical attacks ) ( She can't aim very easily when she's tangled. ) (*rereads and misses. ;_;) [Sooooo... Jamie doesn't shoot so well.] * Jamie 's helecopter on the other hand. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-3) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 7. (Onnadanose) ( The one with the wards? ) (Nope, the one with the riffle.) (Rifle!) [That works too! Jamie riffles it. The unsteady spider sways on its 5 legs.] (She's not assuming demon spider, but I suppose she should be.) (Rose could talk to her about targets!) [Until Sebastian buries a sword between the eyes, anyway.] [Gertrude folds her arms. "What a waste of time that turned out to be."] * Roseli walks over to Jamie, pulls out a knife, and starts cutting her out of the web. [It's almost a victory pose! But not.] [Odval squirms. "Someone see to Luana?"] * Jamie stays still for that, not that it's hard. * Luana is still laying on the floor, ineffectually trying to pull and burn the spider leg out of her arm. * Luana is still crying as well, which isn't helping her very much. [Klaus does. He moves over to Luana and looks at the wound. And the attached leg. "Who's got medical training?"] * Roseli keeps with the cutting, being as efficient as she can about it, and gets to Odval once she's done. "Some," she says to Klaus as she works. * Keiko tries to tear at her bonds with her telekinesis to get free, eyes locked on Luana. She's shaking too. Get it out, getitout, pleaseplease * Heinrick turns to Keiko. "You on it?" I'll be good forever, please, get it out get it OUT * Togo moves over to Luana and crouches down next to her. "Relax, kid, relax. We'll have it out inna sec, and then we'll have ya good as new." 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-2) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 9. (Made.) (Can I get myself free?) * Heinrick goes over to Luana, then looks at Togo. "Do you want me to put her out to calm her down?" * Luana stops struggling, though she's shaking. "Promise?" she whispers. ( Nope. ) (Awesome.) 'course. Get past the fact that it was a giant spider, and it's just a stab wound. And I've been stabbed more times than I can count by things nastier than a giant spider, and I'm only kinda broken. (Who'd think that being able to do 15 damage a round couldn't do 15 damage a round.) [Klaus frees everyone, though, just 'cause.] (Didn't know Keiko was still trapped. Sorry. ^^;) * Luana starts breathing easier. "Like what kind of stuff?" (Obviously if I had, Heinrick would have freed her first.) * Roseli finishes working on Odval and then goes to take a look at Luana. "You'll be okay," she says as she kneels and gets a better look at what's going on. * Keiko pulls ineffectually at her bonds before muttering, "They're not budging." Klaus eventually gets her free, and she takes a step or two towards Luana, but manages to keep herself from pushing through the crowd. Heinrick, Odval, take a look at this. Kraken with sharpened tentacles, for one. * Heinrick looks at Klaus. "How much time do we have?" * Jamie takes the time to reload her helecopter, and then try to check the security cameras upstairs to see how the other team is doing. What's a kraken? The most evil calamari you've ever seen. [Klause checks his watch. "Nine minutes."] * Roseli puts a hand on Luana's forehead, checking her temperature. After a few more seconds, she barks, "CHEMISTS, get over here." [Odval steps over and takes a look at that.] * Keiko instead looks down to her duck and thinks at her, ~You feelin' alright, Lu?~ [She winces as she does. "That's.... not good."] Can't remove the blade. It's attached here... * Heinrick goes over to Rose and checks it out. Fifty feet long, angry as all hell... and I was on a damn dingy. * Roseli points at the goop keeping the blade in. "If we force it out, Luana loses her arm. Cook something up. We're on a time limit." ~Togo says I'll be okay.~ [Odval nods. "It's almost like a tree sap. Hang on."] * Togo turns back to Keiko and waves for her to come over next to Luana. * Luana closes her eyes. "You guys should go save the hostages. Rose and Togo said I'll be okay." * Keiko grits her teeth a moment, starting to glare at Togo before blinking and drifting over nearer to Lu. She smiles weakly down at her, then looks over at Togo to reply quietly, "What?" That's right, Luana. You'll be fine. How'd you kill it? 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-5) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 7. 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-5) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 6. * Togo thinks to Keiko. ~She's on the verge of panicking. Try to keep her calm while we help her. Please.~ We used an advanced tactic known as 'shoot it and stab it until it dies'. * Keiko thinks back, face tensing, ~You're doing fine. She trusts you enough.~ * Roseli chuckles, a little. She glances over at Heinrick and Odval to see how they're doing. * Jamie finishes checking on things and tries to push the big heavy door closed so she doesn't have to smell the sewer as much any more. [Sebastian raises his claymore. "I crushed its skull."] You can kill -anything-, can't you? ~You're her friend. That means something.~ [He nods. "Hell yeah!"] (This calls for Eyes of Direct Death!) (Quick! Kill the Poision!) (Poor Sebastian. Thinks everything's about him.) * Heinrick looks it over and frowns. "I think I could make something...it won't be pleasant though." He looks at Rose and then Togo. "I don't believe there'd be any long-term scaring but..." * Keiko crouches down anyway, though, to gently grab Luana's hand, and thinks back to Togo, ~I'm not you.~ How long, Heinrick? [Odval pulls out a mini chemistry set. "I'll work up a pain killer, Doctor. You work on the solvent. We should be able to do this in about two minutes. ] ~Exactly my point. I can order her to calm down, but you can actually make her feel calmer.~ * Roseli nods and looks to Klaus for the go ahead. I can use my medpak to help close the wound once it's removed. * Keiko makes a frustrated noise and thinks back at Togo, ~You idiot. You don't need to order her to do anything.~ Right. I'll get to work right away. Klaus? * Luana rolls her eyes at Sebastian, but doesn't say anything. [Klaus nods. He looks at Karin. "Oswald, you and your ward wait here. The rest of us will make sure the tunnel is secure."] * Heinrick takes out his chem pack and gets to work on it. And can probably get it done in half the time that Odval said! Haha! * Luana grips Keiko's hand and gives her a pained smile. ["Let's move, people." He moves!] [Sebastian grins. "I'll try to save you some terrorists." Then he and Gertrude follow.] * Roseli nods once again, then smiles a bit at Luana. "You're a tough girl. You'll be fine." She stands. "Let's go, Jamie." And moves with the Klaus, for she is people. * Keiko smiles back, also weakly, then thinks at Luana, ~Not a fan of arachnids?~ * Togo nods slowly at Keiko, and hands her the medpak. "Use this once they take the thing out." * Jamie goes with Roseli, her chopper hanging far back so the sound of its blades don't give too much warning. * Keiko floats Togo's medpack near to her, replying in a quiet voice, "Hai." * Luana smiles. "Good luck. I'm sorry for being a burden." ( Spider was supposed to be even nastier D: ) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-3) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 7. * Togo looks down at Luana. "I'll be right back, kid. And don't worry about that... everyone gets hit hard once in a while." ( Let's get everyone but Luana and Heinrick in #Onward ) ~It's gross and disgusting and I hate it.~ * Heinrick starts to work. "Togo, can I speak to you for a moment?" * Togo stands up and heads out. ( Ermn ) ( Scratch that. ) (Sorry!) * Jamie leaves one of the small helecopters here. ( Let's just get Luana and Heinrick in #Bunker ) ( Bit easier :X ) (It's worth noting that I'm still kinda attached to Luana.) ( Well, whoever's staying behind. ) (Also, I think Heinrick had something to say to the Togo.) * Togo nods at Heinrick as he stands up, and walks over. "Yes?" * Heinrick keeps his voice low, for now at least. "I just wanted to let you know. She's not going to be able to use her arm if we use the painkiller. Far too numb. But without it, there'd probably be a lot of pain." ( Togo into #Bunker, then :P ) * Heinrick lets out a breath. "She's your ward, so your call. Whether you want me to tell her or you..." [Meanwhile, the rest of you press on.] * Jamie is still following Rose onward. (Rose would say ditch the painkiller and rub some dirt on it!) [Beyond the bunker are the tunnels under the Reichstag, which thankfully are lit, albeit not that well.] [But well enough for the npcs to turn off their flashlights. Gimme sight checks at +2] 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 5. (That's a make!) (I have a flashlight. Must I also have a +2?) * Togo rubs his neck. "If you take that out without the painkiller, she'll be in no condition to help us anyway. Use the painkiller, and if she's in good enough shape to help, bring her along. If not, contact me on the comms and I'll talk to her." (Wrong channel, sir.) ( The comment I'm replying to is here, though... ) ( Yes, Rose. The +2 is for hard-to-spotiness ) ( Okay, nevermind ) 2d8+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 12. (We're in the process of moving it over.) (Fail!) * Jamie says softly. "Stop." ( Let me know when I catch up. ) * Roseli immediately stops and holds out a hand for everyone else to. She looks to her ward questioningly. * Jamie points at a few tiny red dots on the walls. "Traps." [Klaus nods. "Can you disable them?"] * Jamie reaches out for them with her mind, trying to find the sensors and the the tiny electronic minds waiting for them to change states. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-4) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 5. [The red dots turn black.] * Jamie nods. Then she reaches farther up the tunnel, searching for the next set of traps. ( "Am I in the room where everyone's casting spells?" ) [You press forward. Eventually, Togo joins up! Then the path begins to turn, sometimes branching. Klaus follows a specific route, until you come to a corner. He motions for everyone to keep quiet.] ( Stealth rolls (move silently) ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 10. (Wiffed by miles) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 5. ( made ) ( Roseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ) (Was AFK starting the laundries.) 2d8-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-1) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 4. (Yup!) (By lots.) [As you approach the corner, you can hear voices around the other side. Then Jamie kicks a pebble, and the voices abruptly stop.] ( "Don't mind us, we're just harmless sewer rats!" ) * Jamie freezes. * Roseli also freezes. Maybe if nobody makes any sound, they'll go back to chatting! [Klaus looks back at you lot, holds up three fingers, then points at the corner. Wonder what that means? Either way, he's brought his weapons low, ready to strike.] * Roseli nods and draws her pistol. Time to rock and roll. * Togo gets into a crouching position and readies his assault rifle. (Clearly in three years we strike at dawn!) [A guy comes around the corner, looking at you wide-eyed. And then Klause charges forward, impaling the man through the gut and carrying him into the wall beyond.] ( Gimme init rolls. ) 2d8+14 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8+14) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 23. ( Make it quick, this isn't going to be a long fight. (I really, really hope) ) 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8+7) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 15. ( Hokay.... ) 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+8) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 17. [Sebastian literally flies around the corner, and there's a scream. Then it's Togo's turn] ( Can I round the corner, see what's there, and attack this turn? ) ( Yep ) * Togo stands up and strafes around the corner, rifle at the ready... [And sees one guy who's a bloody mess on the end of Sebastian's sword, and another guy who looks like he's ready to run.] * Togo fires a burst at the guy who's trying to run, on the theory that the guy impaled on the sword ain't getting away. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 15 for a result of 12. ( ... wow, no ) [Togo shoots a bunch of holes in the wall behind the man.] [Rose!] * Roseli also dashes around the corner, see the guy who's about to run, and runs right for him, trying to tackle him to the ground and stick a gun to his head. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-4) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 3. (Booyah.) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 12. [Rose captures him!] (Shazam! Only I can't shoot him in the head until next turn.) * Roseli glares down at the man. "Quiet." Oh, he'd better be. [He says nothing!] (Good man. What's everyone else doing?) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 13. [Klaus and Sebastian are cleaning weapons. Gertrude's walking around the corner. "Just slit his throat."] * Jamie 's listening for anybody else that might be around. * Togo steps to cover the area ahead while the others deal with the remaining guards. * Roseli flips her pistol around in her hand and whips the guy right in the head, hopefully knocking him out. [He's out.] * Roseli frisks him quickly for anything remotely useful, then stands and pulls out her switchblade. She tosses it to Gertrude. "He had sense. Can at least die unconscious." [Klaus moves over and handcuffs the guy, then duct-tapes his mouth. "Or we can just pick him up later."] 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-4) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 2. [Gertrude snorts. "Whatever."] 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 8. * Roseli nods to Klaus, then gets her knife back from Gertrude (one would hope!) and waits for the others to get ready to move. * Jamie is currently stareing up the hall. Jamie? * Jamie blinks and then looks at Rose. "Y... yes?" [Klaus gets up. "Four minutes."] What's wrong? * Jamie looks back up the hall. "Was was a trap." * Roseli blinks. "What?" [Klase presses forward. Gertrude and Sebastian follow.] (Because seriously, that makes no sense.) * Togo follows, pressing a fresh clip into his rifle as he walks. * Roseli gets going and waves for Jamie to, too, assuming she doesn't say anything seriously to the contrary. * Jamie swallows and tries for more complete sentance, and points up the hall "There was a trap." * Jamie then follows her own finger and moves on. ( ... we need to get Jamie an octopus head if she's gonna say that with any regularity. ) It's gone now? * Jamie nods. * Roseli frowns a little and nods, herself, because that's not cool. * Jamie gives Rose a worried look. "Did... did I do something wrong? Should I have told you first?" No. Just watch for more. (Also, four minutes and Luana's not better yet?) [You move forward! Woot! Klaus leads you down a few more paths, til you get to a thick locked door. "Beyond here is the basement."] * Jamie nods and looks ahead for the next set of traps, or at least as far as she can with all the interfearance she's getting down here. ( Well, they have to catch up ) (We should hopefully be catching up nowish!) (Truth.) [In fact, they do!] [Klaus waits for everyone to arrive before speaking, "This puts us at the south side of the building. From here, we split up to complete our objectives. Operation commences in two minutes."] (The operation is us working on our objectives?) * Roseli nods. * Keiko is walking alongside Luana, shield up as she guards her bad side, duck in her own hands! * Togo nods as he drops back towards Luana, pulling a sling out of his pack. "Lemme help ya get your arm into this." ( Yeah ) * Luana looks a little pale, but at least there's no spider leg in her arm. "Kay." ["Beyond here, soundproofing ends. Make sure you're not discovered before you reach Stolt."] * Heinrick nods slightly to Klaus. We'll do our best. [Time passes. Klaus watches his, um, watch carefully. "Thirty seconds."] ["3."] ["2."] * Togo helps Luana get her arm into the sling! "Stay close to cover if it's tactically feasible." ["1."] [Session End!]
