[Day: Wednsday, May 27th. Time: 4:05 p.m.] [You're attacking some terrorists holed up in a nuclear power plant. Yay. They're raising reactor levels to critical, but their real plan, according to some kid you just met, is to use a mind control device to take over Blitzkrieg agents. Yay.] [Fortunately, you let him go deal with that problem whilst you headed towards the control room to stop a meltdown. Which is going to happen in about 5 minutes. Oh my.] [Start] * Keiko had just told Luana to keep her as close as she dared before heading forward with Rose and peoples! * Wingdance is following the leaders, gun in hand. * Wingdance is now known as Luana (...) (Who's THAT?!) (It was Luana in an alternate form. Duh.) (The world may never know.) * Roseli is rushing for the control room. Let's go there already! * Togo follows along. * Jamie is running after Rose, and trailed by her helecopters, someday in the future may she'll mount an arm on one so they can open doors. * Heinrick is heading there too. We really should get a travel montage going. ( So let me get this straight. Everyone's following Rose except Heinrick, who's going to the same place. ) (I just said I was following. Not who I was following. P) (I'm _with_ Rose.) (I'm not a lemming. I'm a human being.) (I'm behind her, a) I can't run as fast and b) Natural instinct.) (Exactly.) [Since Heinrick asked for a montage, you pass this: http://blog.usa.gov/roller/govgab/resource/images/Biohazard.png] (... biohazard, not nuclear? Well, hell.) (That is an awesome icon by the way.) (It was nice knowing me!) (It's a metroid!) (Deadly organic hazards! My only weakness!) (Better than deadly organic vegetables) (SKREEEEEE) (Could combine them. E-broccoli.) [Shortly, you come to a door that says "Control Room" over it. Hmm.] (That pun only works if you change the pronounciation of broccoli, Jesse. -2 points) * Heinrick checks for traps, first and foremost. (It wasn't a pronounciation pun, it was a spelling pun.) * Keiko pulls her duck out of her coat as Heinrick checks, licking her lips as she presses it against her midsection hard. * Jamie isn't quite sure what she supposed to do, so she just feels out the systems on the other side of this door. (I check the door for traps!) ( Gimme trap checking rolls ) (Which would be...?) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 9. (Modified with whatever it needs to be modified with!) ( I dunno. ) ( Trapchecking ) (Well there's an electronics one. Anyhow, make) (Prob. perception and stuff.) ( Yah, let's go with mmmmmm.... ) ( Well, how's Heinrick checking for traps? ) (I think there's Electronics (traps)) Just seeing how the door's wired, checking the frames and around it. Not much he can do for the other side, but Jamie's got that) ( I think that's just intrusion/security ) ( Ahh ) (Intrusion/Security is more hacking) ( It's in mechanics ) (Then that's an ultra make. By 5.) [There's no traps. :P] * Roseli hits the coms, saying over it, "Blue Team outside of the control room. Now would be a great time to tell us how to shut a reactor down." * Luana is bouncing on the front of her feet. * Heinrick turns to Togo quietly. "Door doesn't appear to be wired." * Togo nods, and whispers. "Everyone take a step or two back. I'll open and toss in a flash grenade." * Jamie takes more than a few steps back and covers her ears with her palms. * Luana steps back quickly and covers her eyes. * Keiko closes her eyes, squeezes her duck tight a moment, and then puts it back in the coat. * Heinrick turns to Togo and nods. "Tear gas might flush them out as well." "At least some of them." *whisper* And it might keep us from going in. * Togo pulls out a flash grenade, and motions for everyone to look away as he tries the doorhandle... * Roseli follows directions, stepping back. * Heinrick shrugs slightly. "Very well then." 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets 12, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "If I go crazy, will you still call me Superman?" (...harr.) (Can I open the door, Brett?) [Togo finds that he's unable to open the door because the room hasn't loaded yet because the GM is way too busy with everyone asking questions at once.] (Heh. Okie.) (The grenade bounces off the nothing and blinds Togo! ... Wait...) [Meanwhile, Gertrude says, "Ok, what model computer are they using?"] (And I'll answer that when we get in!) (Because Togo tossing a grenade will take all of a few seconds.) ( K, then yes, Togo can open the door. ) * Togo opens the door, clears his throat to get the attention of whoever's in there, and tosses in a flash grenade. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 7. * Heinrick whispers. "I should be able to figure it out once I get in there." [Togo opens the door, behind which is a fairly-large-but-not-that-great-for-a-fight room with a complicated looking computer like the one Homer Simpson has to use, and a buncha monitors on that. Also there is a holophone, with a scientist-looking guy in it. He's wearing a lab coat and glasses, and has fuzzy white hair, so he must be a scientist. He's saying, "And anyway, I still need more time to...." When Togo clears his throat and (clears his throat and) (Clears hi.. what he said) ( X: ) When Togo clears his throat and gets his attention.] [Who's he talking to? Another old guy. One you've seen before, a man with a long white mustache and a hooded cloak. Look it up. He's probably a bad guy, 'cause he's holding Karin by the head in one hand. Karin looks unconscious, the color drained from her face.] [There's no reaction by the old guy to the flash. Maybe he just blinked or something.] (Those am some big hands) [But the scientist on the phone, he says, "Uh, let me know how the device works out, Harcourt. The leader will be real interested." And signs out.] * Togo sighs and steps inside. "So much for that. Wanna let her go?" (Remind me which old guy this is?) (I think he's the one who turned into a puddle? If I'm remembering right.) (Harcourt, but that doesn't help.) ["Not particularly." The old guy turns to you. "Blitzkrieg, Section 2. You folk are becoming a nuisance. But your genetic modification technology is lightyears behind ours. You'd be wise to surrendur."] * Keiko floats out, peering at him. "That's... not a great argument," she says, with disdain. * Roseli murmurs, "Watch your fire." She steps in, raises her gun, and nods to Heinrick, covering him so he can get to the compys or whatever. * Togo motions for everyone else to come in. "So you're gonna stand there and hold her while we shut things down?" [He smiles. "Yes. I suppose it won't be easy to convince you. You've had it easy up until now, haven't you? But you should know, I'm one of the Society's top operatives. Facing me is a death sentence."] * Heinrick nods slightly and readies himself for an opportunity to get to them once the confusion starts. * Jamie orders the helecopter with the power ward launcher on it to rise above her so it can shoot into the room. * Luana has her gun up and pointed at the guy as soon as she's in the room. [He shakes his head. "No. First I'm going to finish draining the girl." He looks back at her. "Karin Oswald. A foolish child who thinks she knows something about magic."] * Roseli reaches to her bracelet and taps out a code. "Jamie. Fire." * Jamie shoots him with the power wards, or at least tries to. (I would like to grab Karin away from him as this goes down.) 2 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2 2d6-3) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 4 4. ( K, roll for it. ) (One step ahead of you, both potential hits) ( Actually ) ( Roll init :P ) (Oh, crap) 2 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2 2d8-3) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 2 3. 2d8+14 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8+14) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 21. 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+7) and gets a natural 15 for a result of 22. (Even better!) (There, two potential hits with the right sized dice) 2d8+12 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8+12) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 25. 2d8+18 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+18) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 27. 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8+7) and gets a natural 15 for a result of 22. 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+8) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 13. (...have I *ever* gotten a decent init roll this game?) (I don't recall!) (Dunno!) ( Hokay ) [Jamie shoots, plugging him with two wards. He totally doesn't react.] [Rose!] ( Oh, uh ) ( Who did Togo heal earlier? ) ( I think I forgot to mark that ) (I don't think I got the chance to heal anyone. I was about to when we got 'reactor going critical'.) ( Oh my ) (Yeah, imagine us reacting to REACTOR GO BOOM, YOU AM DEAD) * Roseli charges in, going to grab the dude in an attempt to force him to release Karin. (It's like we're roleplaying actual people!) (Especially since we ony have 5 minutes to go as we are.) (Ha, dude. Rose doesn't care about dying! We're gonna die anyhow!) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-4) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 6. (Yeah, made that.) (Who wants to live forever o/~) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 14. (Oh my god, that SUCKS.) (I, uh, fail by seven.) [Rose runs in and grabs Harcourt!... annnnnnd starts sinking in.] [Luana!] (Block Power doesn't help here?) (Like, slowly sinking in? Or just kinda goes through?) ( Like quicksand. ) ( Well, not sinking ) ( Just kinda stuck ) * Roseli 's eyes widen. "" she shouts in Portuguese, and despite the drugs, she actually sounds kind of panicked. (So one of my arms is sunk in?) ( Yep! ) (Okay!) * Luana 's pauses for a moment, then when no more of Rose sinks in, shoots. 2d8-3 ( ._. ) * Dicesuke has quit IRC (Ping timeout) (...um) * Dicesuke has joined #mc4 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. (Welcome back, Dicey...) [Luana shoots him! Though he doesn't react to it much.] [Keiko] (As I said, try to pull the hostage awaY?) ( You can try. ) (As a... TK roll? Grab roll?) ( Unless you're planning to use a giant crane. Then it'd probably be mechanics or something ) (Which one? You've ruled that they're all seperate skills. ^^;) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-3) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 8. ( TK with grabbins. Unless Keiko was planning to run in and grab with her hands.] ) (As a TK or Grab roll, that's a make by 2. As a grapple attack roll, it's a miss by 1. As a DISARM roll, it's a miss by 3.) (TK, so you made!) (Hooray!) (What about as a purple nurple roll?) [Keiko attempts to pull Karin from Harcourt's grasp, but she just ends up turning Karin's body into a tug of war. Between her head and feet. Ouch.] [Jamie!] (What would the called shot penalty be to shoot his arm?) * Keiko doesn't do anything visibly except look towards Harcourt as she floats into the room, shield up. ( +4 ) * Jamie brings her other helecopter into firing position and carefully lines up her shot before taking it. (Spending one of my actions to aim.) [Harcourt has a Kindly Old British Grandfather face. He'd probably make a great politician if he wasn't trying to kill you.] 2d8-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-1) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 9. (... Misssed by 1 >.<) [Jamie's bullet ricochets around the room.] [Togo!] (Wait! Riffle is accurate! I HIT!) (omg!) ( Ara ) (Yeah, that's made by one.) ( Okaaaay then, I got another question ) (Yeah?) ( When exactly did you raise your ACV to 8? ) (Accurate is -2.) (In dX.) (When Rose spent the TP... I haven't sent you the updated char sheet have I? *facepalm*) (And aiming gives you what bonus again?) (-2) ( No, no you haven't. ) (Skill is -2 spec is -1) [That said, Jamie's bullet still misses.] [Togo] (Curses, foiled again) * Jamie puts a gyrojet into something expensive. * Togo pulls out a Winchester rifle that's a bit spiffier looking than the one you've seen him use before, and fires off a shot, sending a bolt of white energy streaking towards the guy. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 4. (made) (*opens the old version of the char sheet) [The blast from the rifle also disappears into Harcourt's body.] [For his part, Harcourt.... does nothing! ... Nope, that's not true. Karin gets even paler. Her lips are turning blue.] [Heinrick!] * Heinrick makes his way quickly for the computers and looks for the type and model so he can relay it to Gertrude. [The computer console is marked RAD-icle Mk. XVII A++. Really, like I know anything about these types of computers.] [Rose! Is stuck.] [She might be able to escape by gnawing her arm off, but that would hurt.] (Can I make an occult roll to know, uh, anything about wtf this guy is and how to hurt him?) ( Sure, at +... 4 ) (What spec?) * Heinrick relays the computer stats to Gertrude and starts typing. "I'll get on it right away. Though I'm pretty sure I can figure out the proper procedure." ( Hum.... Good question. ) ( Go with Witchcraft, I guess. ) 2d8+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+1) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 7. 2d8+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8+1) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 7. (Made by three.) (made exaactly) ["Alright, if you've got it covered. We're still a bit busy mopping up these grunts."] 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 9. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 11. Be careful out there. I'll call if things go sour. * Roseli tries to tug her arm out, fails, and just shoots him in the head. At pretty much point blank! (Auto hit, I'm assuming.) 2d8+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+4) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 12. (I still fail at pulling my arm out!) [Rose shoots him right in the center of the forehead. It makes a big hole. Harcourt sighs, shaking his head. "Children just don't listen these days." The hole closes up.] [Luana] * Luana takes a deep breath, tries to keep steady, and shoots him again. (Fire Bullet) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-3) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 10. (Laaame) (We're all sucking the dice rolls tonight) [Luana sets the paper cups in the water cooler on fire. ] [Keiko] * Keiko frowns at his hand harder and tries to make the mystery 'get Karin away' check again! (Is it an attack roll?) (Because if so, I'd like to full attack.) ( I think so. Though whether it's grabs or wrestling up up for debate. ) 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-5) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 8. (Hnn.) (There is no wrestling spec, so it all works out!) (Can't buy a roll today.) (As I said. Dicey hates all of us tonight) (Same results as last time.) [Well, Keiko's in luck. She manages to pull Karin away this time. As soon as she's out of his grasp, Karin's eyes pop open and she inhales deeply, like she's been holding her breath for several minutes.]] [Jamie!] * Keiko flinches slightly as she manages to pull her away, checking over her mind real quick to see if there's something important she's thinking other than breathing. * Jamie tries for the quantity over quality aproach to following orders. (Total attacking on both of these because I have two defences to burn!) 2 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2 2d8-5) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 6 1. (Both maybe hits) ( With the gyrojets? ) (... I forgot the accurate AGAIN, yes the gyrojets) * Keiko comms, lips pressed together, "She's confused." (*makes the text on accurate BIGGER) [Jamie hits Harcourt twice with the gyrojets! He dodges for crap. Well actually, he's not even trying. They just sink into him like the rest.] [Togo!] * Togo swaps out his Winchester for his shotgun, and fires a cold iron round at the guy. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. (Can we make a second mind roll to know anything, or was that our one shot? ^^) (made) ( That's pretty much it. ) [Togo blasts him! But the cold iron doesn't seem to work well either. It just sinks in.] * Togo curses. "Okay, not a fey..." (I smacked him with a pair of powerd soul wards on the first round of combat, he's either not supernatural or cheating like all fuck >.<) * Roseli shakes her head, then yells, "Heinrick! Not to distract, but how do you stop a pile of goop!" [Harcourt sighs. "I wasn't finished with Oswald." Then he shakes his head. "Fine. Let's just get this underway." And something starts swimming under his skin, from the center of his forehead, down the side of his face, and under his collar.] [He thrusts out his arm. "I believe these are yours."] ( Hokay.... This gonna take some rolling ) (Hey, I've been looking for those keys! Thanks, mysterious goop man!) ( Togo, Luana, Keiko and Jamie, gimme a ranged def at +1. In addition.... ) (Some rolling?) 5 d5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (5 d5) and gets a natural 1 for a result of 1 1 5 1 1. (And I assume he's mindshielded?) ( Hooooooo boy. ) ( Um... Heinrick, gimme 4 ranged def rolls. Togo, gimme 1. ) 2d8+5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8+5) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 12. ( Yah ) 2d8+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+2) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 11. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 8. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-3) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 4. (Love how we randomly get to target non-combatants!) (... I forgot my skill, but I got hit anyway.) (Yeah, that wasn't happening.) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 8. (Missed both) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 1. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 8. 2d8+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+4) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 11. 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+8) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 20. (One make, 3 misses) ( Ouch ) (Actually I'm kind of glad. We may not find out how that crit fail works. :D) (And don't ouch me. Since when has anyone really been able to make 4 defense rolls in a row unless they pump on the extra defenses?_ [Well, suffice it to say... All that crap you shot at him comes back out his hands at a high speed. Rose is lucky enough to be so close as to avoid any of it, but the rest of you... Luana manages to avoid the, um, regurgitation of buckshot, and Keiko's shield easily fends it all off.] (Ha. Neat trick.) (Just out of curiosity, who got hit by the wards?) [Jamie and Togo, not so lucky. But fortunately for you, neither of you are fey. Plus most of Togo's armor absorbs the impact.] ( Nobody, they're stuck on him. They're just not affecting him.] ) (Ah, okay) (Heinrick's still shot up from the robots too. ;_;) [Togo gets shot with a gyrojet. I have no idea how much damage that does, because I can't find it on Jamie's sheet. ] (20 + acv) ( Op, there it is ) [K, so... That inda hurts Togo.] [Heinrick is in luck, because I missed that those things have unreliable.] [So he only gets shot twice. Down side being they go through his leg and the side of his stomach and very nearly put him down for the count.] [Woo! And that's that attack done with.] [Heinrick!] * Heinrick winces in pain and slumps for a moment, reaching for some liquid nitrogen. "This might help. But you would have to make sure it breaks before contact..." He struggles with speaking and tries rolling it towards whoever's nearest, because he needs to work on getting that reactor under control. (Luana or Togo probably.) [Meanwhile, Karin manages to sit up. "S... ss..." Then she falls on her hands and knees and vomits. Gross.] [Rose! Is stuck] * Roseli would express more concern for Karin, but she's busy struggling to get out of The !Blob's grip. (Same roll?) ( Yep ) (C'mon Karin, at least vomit ON HIM. Get in the game!" 2d8+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+4) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 9. (Nope. I do need to roll a 2 or 3, so.) (Gonna be a while!) [Rose is still goo'd] ( Not that long I hope. That reactor's goin. ) [Luana!] (Five minutes.) (That's fifty rounds! Approximately.) ( It was five minutes when you started the session :p ) (I live in time limbo. ;_;) (Then why isn't everybody who isn't Rose being mind controlled?) ( Because Raidou Kuzunoha is on the case! ) (Yeah, and he doesn't have to fight the goop from hell.) (Only it's not from hell because we didn't have to make a demons occult roll. XP) ( He has to fight some even tougher boss character, though. One that's never showed up before and whom you'll never meet because Raidou's going to kill him. ) ( This is so simple. All you have to do is figure out how to beat the British. XD ) * Luana ignores the vial and holsters her gun while throwing a fireball. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-4) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 4. (Obviously, we need the Boers.) (Tony Blair British, King George III British, or Winston Churchill British?) (Because there's no way we're taking out the third.) (Daylight bombing of LONDON!) (We're Germans!) [Luana sets his shoulder on fire. And that actually causes him to cry out and start beating at it. Probably a good sign. The bad news is Rose is still connected to him.] ( Tony Blair British is too much of a giveaway ) * Roseli is tugged with. Small price to pay, really. ( You'd just send a monkey after him to win. ) [Rose is on fire, too.] (Hey, you didn't mention that part!) [Keiko!] * Luana curses loudly. ( Well, Luana set him on fire, and you're attached, so it follows.... ) (Fast spreading fire!) (Yeah, very quick!) (Pfft. Luana's fire is magic.) (MAGIC FIRE is FAST FIRE!) ( I'm not going to try to calculate the rate fire spreads for you ¬.¬ ) (I'm teasing you. ;P) * Keiko ignores all his shotting, instead scooping up the vial that everyone's ignoring casually and then floating to cut off line of sight to Heinrick, as she tries to aid Rose's pull-away attempt. Telekinetically and stu. ( Ooookay... That's a -2 bonus? ) (Works for me!) ( Dammit. How did we do that? ) ( We'll just go with that. ) [Jamie!] * Jamie aims, and holds her action trying to time her next shot to try and help Rose next time she tries to break free. (Aimed+full attack+accurate should be enough to offset whatever penalties you give me) * Roseli sees what's happening and calls, "Jamie, don't shoot him!" * Jamie ... doesn't shoot him then. [Togo!] (Woot, orders!) ( Togo > I wouldn't advise shooting him with a LAW. Just sayin' ) (He used it up in the first combat) * Togo is saddened to find a problem that cannot be solved with bullets. Quickly getting past this, he runs over and tries to pull Rose free. "Luana, keep it up!" (What's the roll, Brett?) ( On Rose's next turn she'll get a -4 bonus ) (Ok) ( Also, Togo's on fire. XD ) (From touching part of her arm that's not in him? Seriously?) [Harcourt, for his part. Makes his way towards Luana. He doesn't move like goo. Actually he moves pretty well for a guy with a person stuck in him. He makes a grab for Luana.] ( Nah. Not yet, anyhow. ) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-4) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 10. (I don't slow him down at all? Damn.) (Luckily, I don't care if I'm on fire!) (Clearly, he's a 4e ooze.) (Moving when grappling? No problem!) [Luana is grabbed! And doesn't catch fire! But she needs a soul roll.] 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 13. [Meanwhile it's Heinrick's turn.] (...Yeah, that wouldn't have gone well anyway. Soul of 5.) [Harcourt picks Luana up off the ground, and much like with Karin, her eyes dialate and her skin starts draining of color.] * Heinrick keeps working on the computer, all hard and serious concentration. Because if the reactor goes, they all go. [Heinrick fiddles with the computer, manaaging to fill up a red meter even further. The computer beeps angrily at him.] [Rose!] * Roseli tries to tug herself free! (Question! Can I full attack getting free?) (Press the A button faster!) (That's drinking contests) (ALSO filling red meters.) * Heinrick frowns at that. He doesn't believe that filling red meters are good. ( You can, sure. ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-2) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 10. (God DAMN.) (Fail by three. >_<) * Roseli fails, and she nevertheless yells, "Karin! If you have any fire spells, use them!) ( Be glad it wasn't a crit fail ) (s/)/") (Yeah, that would have been awesome.) ( Oh schnap. I skipped Karin ) [Well, in response, Karin looks up at Rose. She tries to say something, but it doesn't work.] (Well, she can go now and SET HIM ON FIRE.) [Luana!] (Aw.) ( No she can't. She's a wind mage :P ) (To be fair, Rose has NEVER seen her fight. ;P) ( She fought in the restaurant. ) ( She used an automatic pistol. XD ) (There, see? ;P) ( Machine pistol ) ( Which wouldn't help you much here. ) * Luana shudders all over, then her entire body goes up in flames. (Awesome++.) [Keiko!] (Does he react to that?) [He grimaces and drops Luana.] * Keiko grins a bit madly and says, "You need to stop that now." She gathers up the fire that Luana just bursted, and focuses it all on him. (TK all means TK fire too! Have some fire.) (Jerk.) [That's silly, but it works. He's totlaly on fire.] [Jamie!] (How is that silly?) (It's true!) (There's fire! I get to move about the fire to make him more firey. I can take fire off Rose and put it on him! More fire!) (Fire for everyone, but mostly the jerk!) (Yes!) * Jamie can't shoot him, has no real physical strength to pull on her guardian with, so she hurries over to Heinrick to help him with the computers. (Do I get to roll anything for that or just hope the red guages go down?) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 5. (Not quite an anti-crit fail but it'll do!) [Togo!] * Jamie points to one of the dials Heinrick twisted. "I ah. um. This one's not right." (INSOLENCE WILL BE PUNISHED.) * Togo keeps trying to pull Rose free. "Pour it on, Luana!" ( Whoops ) * Luana responds by coughing heavily. [We're already back to Harcourt? Oookay.] * Heinrick goes to adjust it, taking a deep breath. "I suppose I did not have it quite as much as I'd thought..." [Well, given that his options are kind of slim at this point, he just settles for throwing a punch at Rose's face.] (Goo fist!) (brb five) ( It's hard goo. ) (If he critfails, does he punch himself in the face and get his fist stuck in his head?) ( No :P ) (I, uh, can't avoid.) (Because I full attacked last round.) (You could still crit!) ( Oh. Dang, that's right. ) (That just eats one of your defences) [Rose gets punched in the face. Her nose is bleeding.] (Is it broken? ;P) d2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d2) and gets a natural 2 for a result of 2. ( Nope! ) (Broken noses are Daegal's schtick) ( But it's on fire. ) [Heinrick!] (Quick, someone spit in her face!) * Roseli can't help but let out a scream of pain, because getting burned in the face is kind of shitty. * Heinrick gets to work adjusting the console, with Jamie's direction, since he knows her stuff. He's not moving very quickly due to his injuries though. * Jamie winces and looks over at Rose, her desire to help more directly clearly written on her face. (Togo agrees) [A teenage girl tells a brilliant scientist how to operate a nuclear reactor.] (back) (Such is the luck of dicey) [Meanwhile, Karin manages to recover her voice, slight. "Salt! Use-" she coughts, "Use salt!"] [Rose!] (Salt! I'm not a salt shaker!) (Shake it like a salt shaker o/~) (Slug man!) * Roseli spits blood. She reaches back and tries to pull a salt shaker out of Togo's pocket, which is right next to her. Let's see what happens! ( Oh man... Uh... ) ( Soul roll I guess ) * Togo has quit IRC (Quit: Switching comps. BRB) ( Oh crap ) (Want me to wait for Jesse?) ( Rose can't pull anything from Togo now. ) (I'll wait for Jesse. He'll be right back. ^^) ( K ) * JesseLman has joined #MC4 * JesseLman is now known as Togo ( re ) ( What'd I miss? ) (Hey, Jesse! I'm trying to pull a salt shaker out of Togo's coat.) (Do I need to make any wacky rolls to try to do that or whatever? Brett said soul roll, so I'ma at least do that.) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 12. ( Nope. Soul roll sounds fine for the person not wearing it. ) (Hahahaha. Fuck you, dicey.) (Rose gets a Sargent Pepper CD instead?) [Rose pulls out a crank for starting one of those really old cars.] [Luana!] ( Rose gets Togo's stash of braille ASCII pr0n ) * Luana is shivering uncontrolably and still on fire, but reaches out and TKs the fire off of Rose's face. [Rose is less on fire now.] [Keiko!] * Keiko glances to Luana, glances to the guy, and then the grin slips away completely as she reaches into her coat, pulls out a blue bag of rock salt, and lifts it over his head before tearing it open. "Time to melt away, annoying man," she says flatly. ( Now we get to look up whether or not salt is flamable. ) [Just kidding. He screams, "I'm mellllllllting!" as he melts. Hey, Rose is free! And still on fire. And Harcourt turns into a puddle.] * Roseli pulls away and rolls to put out the fire, because holy shit. * Luana pulls the rest of the fire off of Rose and continues coughing and shivering. [Rose puts out the fire.] I'm re-really s-sorry! * Keiko looks at his puddle for a few more moments, and then shudders and floats over to Luana, crouching down and sshing as she thinks at her. ~I--I'm here. Be warmer.~ * Roseli stands. She's burned all over, yes, and she has a bloody nose, but she says, "Happens." She spits blood to one side, then asks Heinrick and Jamie, "Got the situation in hand?" [Nobody comes over to help Karin warm up. How sad.] * Heinrick doesn't respond until he knows where the dials at. Because meltdown bad. (I could set her on fire too?) * Jamie feels a great deal less stress now that her guardian isn't in so much danger and in charge again. "I maybe?" She goes back to helping Heinrick. (You didn't tell me she was feeling cold. You told me she was confused!) * Togo walks over to Luana. "You did damn good. Fought through that, kept your wits about you, got the job done." [Eventually Heinrick manages to get things under control. Or rather Jamie manages to direct him to do it properly.] [Karin coughs. "Sssss.... Cyra?"] * Roseli goes to help up Karin now, yes. "Cyra?" she asks. [Karin coughs again. "Where?"] * Roseli shakes her head. "When we got here, you were in his hands." She hits the coms: "This is Blue Team. We found Karin, but not Cyra. Anyone have her location?" [Then her eyes widen. "M....Ma..."] * Roseli blinks at Karin. * Jamie only feels a brief burst of panic at that name. [And then the puddle that was Harcourt bubbles. "Iiiii woooon't gooooo quiiiiieeeetlyyyyy. Blitzkriiiiiiieeeeg.... I curssssssssssssse youuuuuuuuuuuuu!"] (oh no, is this the part where we lose all our powers?) (FROM HELLS HEART I STAB AT THEE! *gets murdered by Dre) [And then there's a bright flash of green light, and everyone is gone! Except Rose and Karin, who's still clutching at her.] ["Magic." She faints.] [End]
