[Day: Tuesday, May 5th. Time: 3:00 p.m.] [Klaus Kohler opens the door, revealing a boiler room. The boiler is making lots of noise, but at least there's nobody here. Karin, Cyra, Gertrude, Odval and Sebastian are quick to follow him as he heads for the door at the opposite end of the room.] [Session Start] * Keiko still has her shield up as she walks after them, still guarding Luana's hurt side. * Togo follows along, staying a few paces ahead of Keiko and Luana. * Luana is pale and has one arm in a sling, but she's got a gun in the other hand and a determined look in her eyes. She follows Togo, as usual. [Klaus opens the door, which opens out into a corridor running perpendicular. Klaus motions back at you towards the left path, then he and his crew go off cam-- uh, they go right.] * Togo nods and heads left. "Stay several paces behind me when we get to corners, okay?" * Luana says, "Right," and does so as they go around the corner. ( So Luana's going to the right? ) * Heinrick stays on the quiet path and looks down the way to the left, whispering to Togo. "So you're taking point? Recall, the sound proofing ends soon..." (I think we're all going where we're supposed to. It's been a few weeks. ;) * Keiko frowns at Togo's dumb advice, but it's not like she's got veto power. (Ah, I pictured it wrong. Never mind.) * Togo nods at Heinrick. "I've got two silenced rifles and flash grenades numbering in the triple digits." [You head left. The corridor passes a number of other doors before it turns to a stairway leading up. There's also an elevator.] * Togo motions towards the stairs, drawing his assault rifle (with silencer!). "Heinrick, keep an eye out for tripwires. I ain't gonna spot 'em." (I'm on scan for humans.) (With my SUPER MENTAL MENTALNESS.) * Heinrick glances at Togo for a moment and then shakes his head before looking for tripwires. Silently. Unlike a certain other someone. * Luana looks down at her gun, then up at Togo. She whispers, "I forgot a silencer. Can I borrow one?" * Heinrick stays close to Togo, ready to grab him if something goes awry. * Togo pulls out his SMG, silencer attached, and hands it to Luana. *whisper* "No pistol silencer." * Luana smiles happily as she holsters her pistol and take the SMG. * Togo keeps movin' on up. * Brett has quit IRC (Ping timeout) (I killed the GM!) ( You win some, you lose some... ) * Brett2 has joined #MC4 ( 'ey Ard ) (Hey. ^^) (And Togo's wrong. We went left. Therefore we're on the West Side, not the East Side.) (I believe there's some kind of Story to go along with that. But I could be wrong.) * Brett2 is now known as Brett * ChanServ sets mode: +o Brett ( This is going to be fun. Someone catch me up. ) ( Ah, but if we were facing south, and went left, we would indeed be going towards the east side ) ( Mecha, where's the log at again? ) [You head up the stairs! At the top is the foyer of the Reichstad. There's another staircase up near you, buuuuut.... Sight checks!] 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 5. ( ... made. ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-2) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 4. (I'm here, right?) ( Yah ) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 10. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 13. (Nope) (Fail, yay!) (We are twins in failure!) 2d8-8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-8) and gets a natural 6 for a result of -2. (Or close relatives, at least!) ( Anyone who made it spots the two guys patrolling the first floor foyer. Luckily, they don't spot you. Yet. There are some plants, pillars and desks to hide behind.] ) * Togo motions for everyone to get behind some nearby cover, holds up two fingers, then points to where the guards are. (Cousins, perhaps?) * Roseli hardly looks for the guards, instead moving quickly and ducking back under a desk. (People are here! Maybe distracted.) ( Stealth (Concealment) rolls ) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 3. * Heinrick makes his way quickly out of sight once he spots them without Togo's interjection. ( made ) 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-5) and gets a natural 4 for a result of -1. ( Bah, you and your "eyes" ) 2d8-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-1) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 7. (And my ninja skills?) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 4. (... how'd I make that?) (How the hell did I make that?) * Luana hides! (The blue dress of obiliviousness?) * Keiko knew they were there beforehand, and so actually succeeds at stealth! Who says you can't sneak around in a dress. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-2) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 3. (Oh yeah.) (We are Team Ninja.) ( Dear god. This may be a first in MC group stealth roll history ) (NINJA GUARDIANS) * Brett has quit IRC (Ping timeout) ( WE BLEW BRETT'S MIND ) (Even Brett's a ninja! I can't even see him anymore!) * Brett has joined #MC4 * ChanServ sets mode: +o Brett ( orz ) ( re. We all made our stealth rolls. ) [Woo. You all manage to hide.] [The guards apparently get a call on the radio, or something, because they suddenly dash upstairs. Luckily for you, they didn't notice you on the way.] ( Remind me where in the building we're headed? ) ( First office on the second floor.] ) * Togo waits a few moments for the guys to go up the stairs and go to where they're going, and then motions for everyone to head to the stairs. * Roseli glances out, glances around, and gets her move on. * Luana follows along. * Heinrick reaches in to ready himself to pull his arsenal and nods to Keiko before proceding himself. [You head to the second floor. As you're partway up the stairs, you see a man run past the opening. Seconds later, he shouts, "Sir! They're coming in from the roof."] * Togo stops and ducks down. * Roseli ducks back for a moment. * Keiko does indeed proceed as far as she should, and no farther! * Heinrick stays back as well. * Keiko thinks at the people she can, ~They're getting panicked at the roof intrusion. Freidrich seems to be getting ready to bust it.~ * Togo waits a bit longer, then starts slowly creeping up the stairs, listening for any additional movement/shouting/etc/ [Togo hears shouting! So do the rest of you. It's van Trier. "Freidrich, stop! I don't want to die!"] * Keiko 's lips curl into more of a frown. ~And there it goes.~ (Are those guys on our side or not? Sorry, trying to find them on the list and it's not working...) (van Trier is the wanna-be rapist. Freidrich is the crazy terrorist with the virus.) (Gotcha.) (Stolt, right? Freidrich Stolt?) (I know him more by the latter name than the former) ( Is the shouting coming from a room or the hallway? ) * Roseli breaks into a run towards the shout, wherever it is, because their job is to keep everyone from dying. (There, that solves that problem!) ( From around the corner. It COULD be from a room. ) * Togo follows, pulling a flash grenade from his coat as he runs. * Heinrick chases after Rose, because that's what you do with people on your team that are running. [Rose runs ahead, where she spots a terrorist staring into the Vice President's room, with a scared look on his face.] (This a terrorist we happen to know? ;P) * Keiko follows too, the frown slipping into a slight smile as she thinks, ~I'm glad that the guardians do that. If I did that I'd get grounded for a month.~ (+At Luana.) (Silly Keiko.) (Think it'd only be for a month.) (She was picking an arbitrary length of time.) * Luana follows at the back. ~I don't know. If I did something awesome in the process, I'd probably only get a, 'Be more careful in the future.'~ ( And by 'grounded', Heinrick means 'chained to the floor' ) * Keiko thinks back, ~Togo's not Heinrick or Lydia.~ (Obvious, but true!) ( He's not. ) ( ... or is he? *dramatic chord* ) (He's not. The eyes have it) * Roseli rushes the terrorist, grabs him, and pulls him to the side with a gun to his head. Dice willing, she does all of that *and* gets to look into the room. ~And thank goodness for that. Er, no offense.~ 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-4) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 2. (I don't see why she'd be offended!) [Rose grabs the terrorist, and gimme init rolls. ] 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+8) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 14. 2d8+12 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8+12) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 18. (Really now. Heinrick doesn't want to be Heinrick.) (Lu likes to err on the side of polite.) 2d8+14 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8+14) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 20. 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+7) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 12. (I R SLO) 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+8) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 17. [Order is: Freidrich, Togo, Luana, Heinrick, Rose, Keiko, Terrorists 1-3, Thomas] [Rose sees into the room. One of the terrorists has his gun pointed at the Vice Chancellor. The other one was focussed on Stolt, but not so much now. Freidrich himself has the viral cannister in hand, with van Trier behind him.] [But not for long. Freidrich grins at Rose. "About time." And then he tosses the cannister over his shoulder. Van Trier catches it clumsily, with a look on his face like he can't believe he's holding the damn thing. "Thomas. Make yourself useful and run as far as your fat little legs can before that thing goes off."] [Togo!] ( Well, so much for a flash grenade, now that we're all looking in. =P ) * Togo pushes the doors open, and fires a burst at Stolt with his assault rifle. "Don't run." 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 7. ( amde by 2 ) [Stolt holds up his hand, and Togo's bullets bounce off a translucent wall. "Wasn't planning to."] [Luana!] * Luana flings a fireball at Stolt from the back of her gun-wielding hand. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-4) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 2. (Make) (A flaming backhanded slap!) [Luana's flames meet with much the same result as Togo's bullets.] [Heinrick] * Heinrick goes to intercept van Trier instead, going for a grapple. "I'm afraid I can't let you do that." 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-2) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 6. [Heinrick grapples Thomas, who shrieks as he drops the cannister. It rolls along the floor, winding up under the VP's desk. ] ["Let me go! You'll kill us all!"] [Rose!] * Heinrick smiles slightly and says quietly. "Well then. At least it stays here, doesn't it?" [Rose has a guy. Terrorist #2] * Roseli pulls the trigger and kills terrorist #2, then mashes buttons on her bracelet as she runs for the cannister under the desk. ( That's a bit much for one action >.> ) (I dunno. I'm moving and doing an action, which is pretty normal. I can leave out the drug activation.) ( You don't even know that guy's dead til you make the roll :P ) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-4) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 0. (Okay!) [K, he's dead. Rose runs towards the virus! But she's not gonna make it this turn.] [Keiko] * Keiko takes in the scene as everyone goes, then tries to grab the two mooks that are alive, van Trier, and hey, why not the hostage as well. ~Stolt screwed up. Ignore everyone else, take him out, you may live.~ van Trier gets, ~Don't struggle or you'll get crushed,~ and the hostage gets, ~Run while you can.~ (Yay for Targets PMV!) (Terrorist #1, Trier, Hostage, since #3 is apparently unallowed.) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-4) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 10. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-4) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 0. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-4) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 8. (Make, make, make. 0, 10, and 2 respectively.) (A penalty of 1 to their resistance rolls.) [Well, that seems to work, since Terrorist #1 suddenly turns his gun on Stolt, shrieking, "You madman! You're going to get us all killed!" And as crappy as his aim is, one of the bullets actually hits Stolt in the back. Hits, doesn't bounce off anything.] [The VP gets up and runs out of the room.] ( Good job, Keiko! You get... well, nothing. ) ( VC, rather. ) (Rewards are for real people. Not freaks.) [Terrorist #3, um, opens the VC's liquor cabinet and pours himself a drink. "This should be interesting."] 2d8+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+2) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 15. [And Thomas struggles against Heinrick. Futily.] [Meanwhile, Stolt glowers at the man who shot him in the back. "I was saving this for a surprise, but...." And suddenly his eyes glow red. He hunches over, and his shirt explodes under the stress of the two black bat wings that pop out of his back. A single, large horn sprouts out of his head. "You fools have no idea of the power I've been given!"] (Well, it's still a surprise!) ( Is it a blonde horn? ) * Keiko glances to the third guy, frowning a little, but then Stolt kinda draws her attention back to him. She mutters, * Luana thinks blandly at Keiko, ~I'm surprised.~ [The terrorist screams and drops his gun. Then he stops screaming Stolt's fingers extend, going clear through his face.] * Heinrick glances at Stolt for a moment. "You...do realize that no sentence that begins with "you fools" never ends well, right?" [That must have pissed him off, because Stolt cries, "YOU don't end well! and extends his other hand to do the same to Heinrick!] (So's your face!) ( YOUR MOM ends well! ) ( It COULD be your face when he gets done with you ) (Remember, kids! Demonic transformation ruins your brain!) (Block defense with van Trier?) (:D) ( Go for it. ) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-3) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 5. (Or...well it's something like that! I probably would have gotten a bonus or something but make!) [Thomas van Trier screams as he's interposed between Freidrich and Heinrick. And then he's disembowled.] (Ew.) (Couldn't happen to a scummier bag.) [Terrorist #3 winces. "Oooooooooooh. NAHSty."] [Togo!] Well. You're right. That *didn't* end well... (Okay, can I make a roll to know anything about this particular brand of demonish thing?) * Togo swaps out his assault rifle for a Winchester, takes aim, and fires off a round at Stolt. (Deuce of Winchesters) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 5. ( made ) ( Occult +4 ) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 8. (Made it!) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 12. ( nope on the occult ) (Because all demons look alike.) * Keiko flinches slightly, but a thin satisfied smile slides onto her face when she looks back forward. (Racists.) [Togo's attack hits Stolt's shield. And shatters it.] 2d8+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+4) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 15. ( Dammit. Now I gotta make crap up again. ) ( With GM power comes GM resposibility ) [Luana!] * Luana glances to Terrorist #3 briefly before backhanding another fireball at Stolt. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-4) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 2. [Luana hits him, setting him on fire! Though he hardly seems too worried about that at the moment.] ( My programming calls for me to fight... but the German in me wonders what Terrorist #3 is drinking. ) [And then, just in case you thought there weren't enough NPCs, another shows up. "How interesting. It seems you've decided to start without me." The man in question is a tall, somewhat handsome guy in glasses. He wears dark blue clothes under a sky-blue trenchcoat, that's open but held on with a chain, of all things. And he's got a staff. Not a bo, just a piece of gnarled wood.] ( Hope that got through ) ( Another member of the Trenchcoat Brigade! ) (It did.) [But enough with descriptions. He points the staff at Friedrich. "You can call me Adam. Stolt! You've disobeyed the Society for the last time. Your contract and life are terminated!"] (Well, he's in your brigade, Tog. You talk to him.) (Togo) ( I'm sorry, but a sky blue trenchcoat? Bleh. ) [A magic miss--- ball of light streaks forth from the staff, striking Freidrich square in the chest. He growls. "A priest? Working for the Society?"] ( If Togo could see color, he'd be horribly offended. ) ( Not everyone can be in a black trenchcoat. ) ( Togo's is brown. =P ) ( Since Togo can't see color, all he sees is a guy in a trenchcoat held on by a chain. That probably makes him pretty badass. ) [Heinrick!] [Heinrick has guts on him.] (Is van Trier, uh...in any position to do anything?) ( Bleed? ) [He's putting all of his effort into bleeding on you.] (It's hard to ruin your clothes that well.) [He's all like OMFG Nuuuuuuu!] * Heinrick drops van Trier like a bad habit and wipes the guts off himself. Rose is going for the cannister so he readies himself just in case one of them terrorists turn on them. But for now, if they're infighting, let them infight. (Held action, but he's throwing if any of the terrorists try to take a shot at us or go for the cannister.) [They don't SHOOT at you. But what does happen is Eileen Rhodes appears in front of Keiko with a big axe. "Miss me?" And she totally swings it, too.] (There she is!) (That's enough to trigger a held action too. :P) (WHY AXES WHY) ( But you're gonna have to go after. She teleported in ) ( Meanwhile, Keiko needs to avoid getting cut. ) 2d8-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-1) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 10. (Hits shield.) ( That's not avoiding. ) (Not particularly no.) [Crushes the shield, more like. And chops a good deal into Keiko's shoulder, too.] [Now Heinrick can go.] * Heinrick throws his dagger at Eileen, since that's what he had readied. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 6. [And he almost hits! But she's able to block it with the axe head.] [Rose!] (Gonna reboot real quickly. Catch me up when I get back someone?) * Roseli scrambles for the cannister, ducking down under the desk. If she finds it, she checks it over for anything unusual (that would, for example, set the virus loose). * Heinrick has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [It's got a digital counter that says :55 on it.] (That's bad!) [And a buncha wires 'n stuff.] [In the meantime, Keiko!] * Keiko cries out in pain at being cut in the shoulder, and then fixes her eyes on her as she tries to establish telepathic contact and her shield comes back up. She breathes out, "You're not going to keep getting away from me..." [Terrorist #3 grins, seemingly wider than a normal human should be able to grin. "So many different agendas in this one fight. Amusing." He sips his drink.] * Keiko grits her teeth as she does it, too, because we know what this involves. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 13. [Freidrich! He motions at Adam with one hand, and does the finger-extending. "Your Society is weak! You seek to control everything, but you have NOTHING!" Adam's able to dodge out of the way, though.] [But what about Rose? She's his next target. "And you! The virus will go off. You will not stop it!"] * Heinrick has joined #mc4 * Roseli ducks down under the desk, because she's already pretty much there. Holy crap. (Would block defense count for that?) ( Lemme check ) ( I think it would, yeah. ) 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-5) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 7. (Wow, hate. Miss by one.) [Rose dives under the desk! But not far enough, and Stolt's fingers go clear through her leg. Ouch.] (Too bad her no-sell shield probably doesn't work against physical fingers) ( She was already injured, too. Rose is very much not in good condition. ) ( very, very not in good condition ) [Togo!] * Roseli grimaces and barely manages not to scream, but she doesn't drop the cannister. * Keiko starts to breathe heavier through her teeth as she stares back at Eileen with slightly widened eyes, face starting to flush. Her body starts to shake slightly as she squeezes her duck deathly tight. * Togo fires another round at Stolt from the Deuce of Winchesters. "Luana, get that crazy bitch off of Keiko!" 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 5. ( made ) ( Crap. I got that one confused with the shield breaker ) ( Oh well. ) [Togo blasts Stolt, who staggers back, a burned, steamy gouge appearing in his chest. He snarls.] [Then it's Luana's turn!] ( It happens. I have a few different guns, after all. =P ) (Infinity! I have infinity guns!) * Luana 's breathing because heavier with every injury her team suffers but she seems to be maintaining her calm fairly well. She moves forward and tries to get between Eileen and Keiko while throwing a fireball at the crazy bitch. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-4) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 2. ( I've roughly calculated how much ammo Togo carries. It's a lot. ) (I wish I were rollin' like you, WD!) (Shhh, you'll jinx me! :D) [Luana manages to set her on fire!] * WeightofTaki has joined #mc4 (HOORAY.) (I live! Mostly) (New people for the combat order!) (Run! Run! Run!) [And then it's Adam's turn. "There are no words for you, Stolt. You've sold your soul for revenge, and you won't even get that." He twirls the staff, ending with it pointing at Friedrich again. "You're going to die." A bunch of needle-thin lights spread from his staff, many of them striking Freidrich. But not necessarily just him. Togo and Heinrich, gimme a defense roll at +1!] (Jamie, I'm getting beaten up and I only have fifty-five seconds to disarm the cannister virus bomb. :() ( Actually 50 now :P ) (Noooo!) (Work faster!) (That's some wide spread, considering Heinrick's not even near him. And the weapon changed his name too!) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 4. * WeightofTaki is now known as Jamie 2d8-2 ( umm ) ( um indeed ) *** Signoff: Dicesuke (Ping timeout) ( orz ) ( He got Dicey! ) (The bastard!) (That's your fault for picking a villian with indiscriminate targetting) ( Why should he care about you? Your his enemy too :P ) (he's back!) (Not in this fight! We haven't even targetted him yet!) * Togo has quit IRC (Ping timeout) (But we sure as hell *now* will. ;P) ( :X ) [Well, Heinrick avoids. He can go while we wait for Togo to get back. ] ( And Jamie can roll init or somethhing ) 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8+7) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 19. * Heinrick steadies himself from his dodging and shakes his head. "This indiscriminate killing is just getting *sloppy* now.." He then peers over his glasses at Eileen. "But I know that you're targetting us at least. And you're less occupied.." He throws the liquid nitro at her. Standard procedure dealing with Eileen really. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 0. ( You sure you wanna do that when she's on fire? ) * JesseLman has joined #MC4 ( re ) * JesseLman is now known as Togo 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 8. ( Yeah, that attack hit me ) ( Last I saw was the call for a defense roll ) ( Yep ) (Guess I missed the fire part.) [Sooo.. Heinrick avoids the flashy light needles! Togo does not. They stick out of his back and burn like bad acupuncture.] (We'll swap that for incidiary then. Though more fire's not necessarily worse when you're already on fire. Of course this is Eileen so...MORE FIRE) [Eileen is (still) on fire!] [Rose! Who's close to passing out and is bleeding all over the nice carpet.] * Roseli drags her leg with the rest of her and sits heavily behind/under the desk. With shaky fingers, she punches a code into her bracelet. Her hands steady and she focuses on disarming the bomb. (Can I make the first roll now or does that wait until next turn?) ( She can make one now. ) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 7. (Made.) ( Oh, kickass. My GPA was high enough first semester that my program's gonna pay half my tuition for this semester. ) (Also, bump me up by ten on the init. ^^) [Rose gets the top off of the casing without making the damn thing explode. Or release gas, rather.] (There's schools that actually do that?) ( Apparently. ) (Sweet!!) (Rock on. :D) ( I sure wasn't expecting it. But that's an extra $9k. ) (Congrats!) ( I can maybe afford to eat out more than once a month! =P ) [And suddenly Eileen is gone! But just for a second. Then she reappears behind Kaeko, who needs an unarmed (grabs) roll.] (So she appears inside of my skin-tight shield?) (To grab me?) ( Your shield which isn't up? ) (She broke it, remember?) (It is up. I explicitly regenerated it.) ( And Keiko put it back up. ) (She put it up last turn; it was her action.) (Ah) ( Oh. Then she just goes for the axe again :P ) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. (Miss by 1.) [And Keiko almost avoids getting another chunk out of her shoulder. Almost.] [She's not looking so great, that one.] [But it is Keiko's turn.] * Keiko lets out a cry of pain at the second cut, before panting open-mouthed as she thinks at her, ~Do you ever stop feeling this? Ever shake off these dreams?~ Her action? Unsurprisingly, pushing her shield up in the hopes that one day she'll make a defense roll and get the chance to act. [Terrorist #3 pilfers the VC's liquor.] [Rose!] ( Terrorist #3 is my new hero. ) * Roseli keeps with the bomb disarming until there is no bomb to disarm anymore. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 2. [Rose cuts some wires! Just a few more to go.] (Bomb explodes. No more bomb to disarm!) (I do think that'd cause her to stop.) (And leap over the desk, grab Heinrick, and go, 'Well, if I'm gonna go out...') ('Might as well commit some adultry on the way!') [But can she do it? After Stolt lifts up the desk with one and and extends his fingers at her with the other?] (How the hell are these people completely ignoring the people actually killing them? ._.) ( Could be he really wants the bomb to go off. ) (Surprise, fear, a fanatical devotion to the pope, and nifty red uniforms?) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 9. (Stolt doesn't hate me as much as dicey.) (Funny. Most people want to not die.) [Ooooo... That's not good. Rose takes a stabbin through the gut and loses consciousness. The cannister rolls on the floor with :45 remaining.] ( Oooooooh bugger ) ( Hey, Heinrick's done it. Stolt tried to kill him, but he's been focussing on Eileen. :P ) [Togo!] (Stolt tried to kill him once. ;) (Togo needs to get her off the ground with his healy thing!) (That's because someone else was trying to kill Stolt. And yes.) (If he can.) (... I hope you've got Demolitions, or everybody but the wards is about to bite it!) (Heinrick can freeze the timer in liquid nitro? :D) (That'd be one hell of a bit of precision work.) (I just dropped wire cutters too if anybody needs! ;P) (Cool, but man.) (Yeah. It's pretty impractical but hey.) (It'd probably blow once it lost signal anyhow, so wouldn't be worth risking) * Togo fires another round from his Winchester at Stolt. "We've got a problem!" 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 7. ( made ) [Stolt staggers under the attack again! He's starting to look like he's getting worn down.] [Jamie!] * Jamie returns to the real world with a cry of anger and loss when Rose goes down, both of her large helecopters roar out of the hallway where they'd be waiting and fire at Stolt. She can't quite see him with her own tearfilled eyes, but that's what all the cameras on the copters are for. (Ward first) 2 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2 2d8-3) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 2 7. ( Jamie finally wakes up after a nice long nap >.> ) (Both potential hits10 ( Oh, and the fire on Stolt has gone out by now. ) [Freidrich's not much for dodging, and takes both hits dead on. He's still up though.] [Luana!] * Luana brings her gun up and fires at Eileen. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-3) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 3. [Luana fires at Eileen! But she's able to avoid it.] [Adam! We all like Adam, don't we? Someone probably does. "Hm... This is taking too long." He fires a ball of light, which hits Freidrich in the foot. Fredrich himself is looking almost ready to topple.] [Heinrick!] * Heinrick looks at Eileen then Adam, then shakes his head. "Togo. When you can, toss me one of your packs." He runs towards Rose and the bomb. Bomb first. [Eileen, then, who takes another swing at Keiko. "Haha. You and I are going to have SUCH fun."] (My vision's getting blurry, I need to go to bed.) (I would like to try to use a push CP to up my level of force field by 1 temporarily.) (In lieu of dodging.) (Sorry guys. Goodnigght.) (Sleep well, WD. ^^;) (G'night WD) ( Hoookay. Night ) * Luana has quit IRC (Quit: Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com) ( I guess we could stop here if you want. It'd make next session awkward, though ) (Awkward how?) ( Not necessarily. Next session is finish fight, disarm bomb, aftermath. Might be a bit short, though. ) ( This fight probably won't go on much longer. ) (Well, we can go a little forward.) (Maybe we'll finish it before Lu's init comes up again.) ( Alrighty. ) (Can I try the push?) (And if she does come up, someone could autopilot her, essentially. I mean, she's fighting Eileen; she'll probably keep doing it. ;P) ( Well, I'm getting tired myself. I knew this would be a long fight. ) ( Let's see if we can finsih this quickly. ) ( Anyhow, Keiko can try the push, yeah, but it's a permanent thing She's spending the TP ) ( CP ) ( Thing ) ( gah ) (Right.) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 14. (Why do you hate me, dicesuke.) (CP spent, push failed. Thank you, dice.) [Ouch. That doesn't go over so well. Keiko gets chopped with an axe. She's out. And fairly bloody to boot.] ( Or is she? Let me check my math :X ) (55 HP through shield in 3 hits. Crazy. @_@) * Togo has quit IRC (Ping timeout) (Either she's got penetrating or she just did 115 damage+ to me. ._.) (In 3 hits or one?) (In 3.) (Well granted, that's doable.) ( Keiko's still up. BARELY. ) (Barely is good.) [Keiko's turn, too!] * JesseLman has joined #MC4 ( rere ) * JesseLman is now known as Togo ( Last I saw was Brett saying 'oy' about the CP thing ) ( I didn't say oy ) ( Do I look Jewish? ) (Keiko got hit but she's still barely up. And it is now her turn.) * Keiko bleeds down her dress, staring up at Eileen with face flushed, eyes wide, and mouth gasping for breath. She then manages to swallow and say back at her, weakly, at the same time she thinks, "~Yes we will, Eileen... on my terms.~" And then she takes a shot at a TK push, back into Stolt. ( Who's she TKing? ) (Eileen.) (Probably the same grapple roll we always use.) ( Eileen's in the opposite direction from Stolt. She teleported behind Keiko. ) (Eileen into Stolt was what I saw.) (Oh, I thought you cancelled that teleport because you couldn't grab.) ( Nope, she still teleported to get around Luana. ) (Alright. s/back into Stolt/back into the wall, then.) (It doesn't matter where she ends up, she can teleport anyway. Just thought it'd be a dramatic crush.) (ACV + Unarmed (Grapple) vs DCV + Unarmed Defense (Grapple), blah blah hands penalties, is how we did it before.) ( Is it? Unarmed strikes makes more sense for a push. ) ( Guess it doesn't really matter though. ) (It's a throw.) (It's the only grapple move you're allowing with TK as of yet. The TK crush damage (of 15). ^^;) (And grappled.) (That's how you ruled that the TK 'damage' ability had to be.) (Short of me throwing something, anyway.) (Anyway.) ( I'm too tired to argue ) (I'm just referencing what you did before. ^^;) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-3) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 10. [Suddenly a Buddha attacks.] ( Erm ) (Of course, it doesn't matter, because I _cannot roll below a 10_.) (If you meet Buddha on the road... kill him, because he is a zombie.) [Keiko manages to destroy a nice vase.] [Terrorist 3 sips his drink. He grins widely. "Heh. Heh heh heh heh heh."] [And then we're back to Stolt, who, if you remember, is holding the desk. Well, not no more! He flings it at Adam and Jamie. Adam manages to dive out of the way, but what about Jamie?] [Meanwhile, he also takes a shot at Heinrick, screaming, "Don't you dare touch that virus!"] 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 7. (I eat table) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 3. [Jamie eats table. OW.] (It is full of fiber.) (Fiber is good for you. Rose would agree.) [Heinrick doesn't eat fingers though. ... Wait, that totally doesn't sound right.] [Togo!] * Togo fires off another shot at Stolt. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 10. ( ARGH ) [orz. Togo MISSES!] [Jamie! Someone will show you to your table shortly.] (Nail him to the wall! For (childlike) love and justice!) * Jamie has been shown to her table, in fact she's currently somewhat crushed under it, but that just made her madder and he didn't take down her helecopters. She does her best to fill Stolt full of gyrojets. 2 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2 2d8-3) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 3 8. (That second one missed) ( orzzzz ) (Tears do make it hard to dodge.) [And Jamie does shoot him! Once. It's not enough.] [Then Luana fires at Eileen, I guess?] [And misses.] [Adam doesn't miss, though. He holds his staff like a harpoon and yells, "Die, monster! You don't belong in this world." The staff flies forward, trailing a point of light. It impales Freidrich through the chest, then vanishes, reappearing in Adam's right hand. He 'hmph's and pushes his glasses up with his left.] ( And gets +3 CP for finishing a major baddie with a cool pose. ) [Heinrick!] (I do all sorts of cool stuff! Where's my extra CP. ;_;) (Me too.) ( You don't pose! ) (I do so!) * Heinrick scoops up the cannister and then goes to Roseli. "Now, Eileen, if you could kindly just lay off my ward, we might actually get out of her alive." (I posed every time I did stuff! With many lines!) (Here I mean. We don't want Eileen in her.) ( Eileen would wear a Keikoskin suit. ) (I'd be a little small on her.) ( Oh, right. ) [Eileen smirks. "No." And swings the axe at Keiko! Again.] (Oh... she's just gonna kill me.) ( I could've sworn she had 2 attacks, too :P ) (Okay!) (Eileen has outmatched Keikof or a long time. ^^;) (Congrats on concentrating on the weakest character!) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-3) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 2. (... I DODGE.) (AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA.) [Keiko dodges! Somehow.] [Terrorist #3 sighs. "Looks like this party's just about over. A pity.] [Togo!] (It's my turn!) ( Also, the cannister now says :35 ) * Togo reaches into his coat, tosses the nanomedpak to Heinrick, and then turns to Eileen, leveling his assault rifle at her. "Back off. Now." * Keiko steps aside from her swing, her shield coming up naturally with it having been down a round! She grins weakly from under her now-mussed hair, blood heavily staining her favorite dress. She then replies, ~"I said... on my terms, Eileen. You... won't be the only one enjoying this..."~ ( End turn, 'cause I can't toss and shoot at the same time. ) (Same slam attempt.) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-3) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 4. (And finally a success by 3.) I thought not. But it never hurts to try to be the reasonable one. Togo. Kill her if you have the chance. [Keiko actually doesn't slam Eileen again. Not this time.] [Jamie] (Damn!) (I finally get some rolls and they're not on my side.) [Luana also suddenly passes out from the pain of her injury. Woo.] * Jamie 's emptied half of her gyrojets into Stolt and he's still standing and Rose is still down AND THAT IS JUST NOT RIGHT! 2 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2 2d8-3) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 3 7. ( No he's not. ) (Stolt is down, I think.) (Pair of maybe hits!) (But not on Stolt!) [Jamie shoots Freidrich's lifeless corpse.] (... although that's also fitting.) (;_;) [Adam levels his staff at you. "Sorry. I can't let you kill Eileen. After all, she is my ticket out of here."] [Heinrick.] * Heinrick catches the medpak and makes his way to rez Rose, kneeling down and jamming her with juice. "Well we can't let her kill us unprovoked, so I suppose we are at an impasse here." He looks down. "But there are more important matters..." [Adam nods. "Mmm, yes. The virus." Then he shrugs. "Oh well. Have fun with that."] [He glances towards his ally. "Eileen."] [Eileen looks at him, then Keiko, and snarls. "Someday soon. Very, very soon." Then she moves over to Adam, and teleports them both. Somewhere.] ( "Then we are at an impasse." "Indeed. I am no match for your numbers, and you cannot hope to compete with my magical powers." "You're that good?" "You've heard of Merlin? Raistlin? Gandalf?" "Yes?" "MORONS." ) (What? Herman's in the house?) * Keiko shudders as she says and thinks after her, ~"I'll be there... with your axe..."~ and then once she's gone, she drops to her knees, the only thing actually keeping her _standing_ being gone, as all the pain rushes in. (We <4 you Herman!) ( And my bo!) ( Actually, I think this is the only time Eileen has used an axe. ) ( I'm certain she used an axe last time.) * Togo goes over to check on Luana and Keiko. "We have got to get you some armored clothes, kid." ( I don't remember. It doesn't really matter. ) (This pattern of 'cuts in the shoulders' is in no way new to me. ^^;) ( She likes bladed weapons. Not necessarily an axe. ) ( She just enjoys cutting things off. ) (It may have been sword last time.) ( I think once she had elastic/blade hands. ) (And is Rose up and att'em now?) [Rose wakes up! But not for several seconds. She comes around just as the cannister reaches :15] * Keiko wraps her arms around herself, shuddering as she starts to cry. She starts to murmur things in Japanese. * Roseli blinks open her eyes, sees Heinrick, and immediately asks, "Situation?" [Keiko leaks various fluids!] (Show her the timer!) (That's the situation!) * Keiko is ignoring Togo's comment, too. She might be wittier if she wasn't in shock. * Heinrick does just that showing the timer. "We wouldn't have woken you from your peaceful sleep otherwise." [Luana actually seems in better condition than Keiko or Rose! But worse than Jamie. Who's still trapped under a desk.] But at least you don't have people firing at you this time. (The funny thing is most of the conversation probably would have taken way more than 50 seconds.) (DBZ effect, baby.) * Roseli spots the timer (as it's shoved in her face and all) and grabs the cannister as she reaches for where she dropped the wire cutters. She sits up and gets to work as quickly as she can, completely ignoring all of the bleeding she's still doing. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 5. (Woo hoo!) ( The past several minutes have taken about 4 hours :P ) (Sure, if you type it all out and do dice rolling and people ping all over the place!) * Togo moves to get the damn desk off of Jamie, then comes back to Keiko, pulls out some towels, and tries to put pressure on the worst of the wounds to staunch the bleeding. * Keiko then takes a weak breath as she manages to fix her eyes on Luana's fallen form. Before Togo gets there and does all his patching, she floats herself over near Luana just enough to fall against her prone form. [Rose cuts the wire and the gas is RELEASED! PEOPLE MELT! DOGS HOWL AS THEIR EYEBALLS ROT! CHILDREN COUGH UP THEIR OWN LUNGS! THE ENTIRE CITY SUFFERS AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAUok I'm just kidding, she disarms the bomb.] * Heinrick nods and looks over the situation and sees Togo moving at lightning speed to handle all of it, so instead goes over to Mr. Terrorist. "You seem to have an interesting involvement in all this." * Keiko is therefore unconscious when Togo gets to her and patches her up! [Holy crap, you remembered him!] (I remembered him!) (My character's just kinda in shock.) Heinrick, toss me the medpak? * Heinrick chucks it that way, barely taking his eyes off the guy to do it. [He grins widely at Heinrick. "Don't I? Want a drink?" He holds out the bottle to Heinrick. "I don't think Mr. Neuman will care."] * Jamie crawls to her feet after Togo removes the desk and doesn't even stop to thank him as she makes her way over to check up on Rose. * Heinrick smiles. "Possibly not. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I don't drink. Whether or not it would end up being poison." * Togo catches it, places it on Keiko's arm, and presses the button. "... man, we've gotta stop getting these kids nearly killed." * Roseli does, in fact, disarm the bomb. She makes an attempt to stand and pretty much fails, so she settles for sitting on the floor and taking in the situation as she cradles the cannister. (Just as soon as you can file retirement papers for us.) (At the ripe old age of 16.) [He grins. "It would be amusing if the Vice Chancellor kept poison in his cabinet. Perhaps in case he wanted a promotion, hmm?"] * Heinrick idly adds to Togo. "Or ourselves at that." * Roseli nods to her ward as she approaches. "Jamie. You okay?" ( Rose has all of 3 HP ) That would help, too. (Yeah, I'm not really moving.) ( She was at -17? Wow. ) (But I saved another city, so it's all good.) (She's a toughie!) ( Keiko has 23 hp! ) * Jamie nods, and is a bit bruised and battered, and her voice is all rough for some reason, but she's in much better shape than her Guardian. "I'm.. I... are you okay?" * Heinrick nods slightly. "I do have to tend to my ward, afterall." He takes out his pipe and lights it. Damned the consequences. ( This team needs a vacation... obviously, this calls for a hot springs episode. ) [Terrorist #3 finishes his drink, and puts the bottle back down. "Well, it looks like you've won another round. Congratulations! I'll see you next time. Cheerio." He walks casually out the door.] * Roseli watches the conversation... well, more like Heinrick's pipe, and she responds to Jamie: "Okay as I need to be." Wonder if the others got the hostages out okay... *pulls out his shotgun; chambers a round with a KA-CHAK* Please stay. We have so much to talk about. * Keiko groans weakly as she is recovered, flopped wherever she is, and murmurs in Japanese against Luana's back, [He laughs on the way out. "Nah."] (I'm totally imagining him doing that without looking.) (The shotgun thing.) [Keiko gets Luana all bloody.] * Jamie nods and brings over her helecopters so she can reload. ( I almost siad her clothes, but she's barely wearing any. ) (Togo can do anything without looking!) * Togo strolls out of the room after him. "I insist." (It's true!) (He can!) * Heinrick sighs and shakes his head at Togo. "Please. The posturing helps none..." He goes over to Keiko. "She'll be alright. You're the one who took serious hits though.." [Togo follows the guy out, only to find he's not out in the hallway.] * Roseli brings her hand up to her ear and coms, "Section two blue team reporting. Cannister acquired. Stolt and van Trier down." ... oh for the love of... *looks left; looks right; sighs and walks back in* He teleported away. *pauses* Ah, fuck 'em. *sits down; leans back against the door* ( Actually he just ran around the corner really fast. ) Teleporters seem to be a theme nowadays. * Keiko brings up an arm to try to grab Luana around the body, like clutching at a pillow, and says, "Don't... wanna be awake... Heinrick...?" her body shakes again. * Heinrick nods slightly. "If you don't mind being carried out..." [Klaus Kohler responds. "Understood. We've secured the hostages on our end."] ("And we didn't have any interference on *our* end so neiner neiner neiner.") * Keiko murmurs confusedly, "But school... so far away..." * Roseli coms, "Good to hear. Neuman was being held here, but he ran once we arrived. His current location is unknown. Had a run in with two Society members. Will fill you in later." ( End? ) (Good to me.) ( Sure ) [Session End]
