[Day: Sunday, June 22nd. Time: 12:00 p.m.] [You're all in space! I mean under the sea. Actually, you're in a very large undersea lab. You got here the Gepetto way, and that's how you're going to get out, but only if you can finish your mission in four hours. After that, you're on your own.] [Said mission? Eliminate the Society and stop the launch of the mind controlling satellite. It's over there!] [Ha ha made ya look.] (Hey Brett? The link for session 07 points at 95) ( Yah, I saw. ) (Also, Togo ate a sandwich.) ( A really good sandwich ) [Right, well. Remaining members of the Society are Outer Circle assassins Adam, Eve, and Eileen Rhodes and Inner Circle members Cyra Koenig, Doctor Doctor Schuhmacher and Tavin von Haupt. Supposedly Doctor Akira Shibamura is there, too.] [Also, Togo ate the best sandwich of his life.] [Anyhow, you're in a room with an airlock. There's only one obvious exit. That'd be the door. You could probably make another exit through the glass dome if you wanted, but... do you really want to? Didn't think so.] [Go!] * Roseli makes her way to the door and takes a look at how to, er, open it. [It's got a large, obvious Pull Me handle.] * Jamie tries to reach for the security on the door and behind it, as softly and lightly as she can. Hopefully none of the fakes will hear her and realize she's here. * Togo stands a few steps back from the door and Rose, silenced SMG in hand to cover the doorway once it's opened. 2d8-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-6) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 6. * Keiko floats forward, scanning for people with telepathy. There might even be some! * Roseli glances to Jamie to see if she's got it. * Jamie nods. * Heinrick keeps an eye out for additional security both interior and exterior and anything that might be tracking their movement. He makes sure he at least has his knives at the ready. * Keiko says, quietly, "I don't--Section 1?" She seems surprised. "Oscar Jung." * Keiko adds, "Wounded, but not captured." * Heinrick raises an eyebrow. "As an infiltrator or a co-conspirator?" He then nods with her other statement. * Roseli places her hand on the lever and waits for Keiko to answer the question before she uses it. * Keiko looks to him, and murmurs, "Thinking like infiltrators." * Heinrick nods slightly. "It'll have to do." He then nods to Rose. * Roseli pulls the lever! [It explodes! Erm, I mean it opens. That's all. It just opens. Into a corridor that's about a hundred feet long and boring gunmetal grey. Actually, it looks like the innards of a naval ship. It's brightly lit by lights running across the corners, and you can see all the way to the door at the other end. There's no apparent branching pathways, but give me sight rolls! At +4] 2d8+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+6) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 11. (Any chance I could hear at that instead?) 2d8+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8+4) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 12. (Er, wait. Sorry. Misread. +6 means +2 for me, so it's a make by 3.) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 8. (We're too used to 3e) (I had to reformulate too) 2d8+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+4) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 8. (Dude, I MADE that.) (Brett?) ( No, you can't hear it. ) 2d8+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8+2) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 10. (No.) * Roseli peers at the walls. "Slits?" Hmm? * Heinrick holds out his arm before advancing and nods to Roseli. "Slits. Movement based you think?" (Note that's (before anyone else advances). Heinrick's not advancing) * Jamie blinks and looks at them curiously. [Heinrick instantly dies and... awww.] Traps, you think? * Roseli shakes her head. She doesn't know. "Jamie?" * Jamie listens behind them, with both her ears and her extra senses. [Jamie hears "Hehehe once the heroes step into this trap, they're doomed! Muahahahahahaoh wait no she doesn't.] * Heinrick whispers lightly. "There should be enough room to crawl underneath. And I would not want to take any more chances of detection than need be. Come on." (;_;) * Heinrick crouches down and goes flat on the ground, crawling underneath the slits. * Jamie shakes her head. * Keiko does not crawl. She floats just off the ground, facing downward, along with Jamie and GreyedOut!Luana. It's easier! * Roseli makes with the crouching and the moving, because otherwise, well. (We're hovercrafts!) (Woob woob woob woob.) (MY HOVERCRAFT IS FULL OF EELS!) * Togo gets down on his belly and crawls, bringing up the rear. "Like being back in basic." [No sooner do you crawl a few inches, then there's a click, and buzzsaws pass overhead from both in front of and behind you.] ... old school. I approve. ( Meanwhile the GM really wishes Luana would be here :X ) (If skip thou must, then skip thou shouldst. ^^;) [Eventually, you get to theother door.] (No more buzzsaws above our head?) ( Nope. ) * Roseli glances up for more slits before she stands. * Jamie repeats her performance of trying to blind and deafen the next room from the fakes with their notice. * Heinrick is the first to reach the other side and thus the first to get up and dust himself off. "I suppose it's an interesting countermeasure, but still..." People nowadays expect lasers and deathbots and such. The classics can be surprisingly effective. 2d8-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-6) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 1. ( Hearing rolls! ) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 11. * Keiko murmurs quietly, "Know your adversary." 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-2) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 7. 2d8-10 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-10) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 2. (Mkb3.) (Make by lots) 2d8-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-6) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 5. ( Made by 2 ) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 4. (Mkb7) * Togo stands at the end of the hallway, and rolls his shoulder a few times, kneading where the shoulder meets the neck. [You hear gunshots in the next room!] * Jamie looks back at Rose, questioningly. *quietly* ... well, so much for stealth. Shall we? What's going on? Guns. [The gunfire stops.] It's stopped now. That's...usually not a good thing. * Heinrick nods to Togo and readies his knives. * Togo motions to Rose to open the door. * Roseli gets to her feet and... opens the door! * Keiko murmurs, "Not all dead yet." [The door opens, revealing a large round room. It's srsly big, man. There's a desk at one end and a few plants and chairs near the walls, and a water cooler, but otherwise it's big and mostly empty. There are a lot of doors leading to the room, presumably leading to other air locks. In the center is a tube with a door built in; probably an elevator. Also in the room are..] [Blitzkrieg agents! Strewn about the floor and bleeding and/or dead, that is. And one side of the elevator you spot Adam, the man with the blue trenchcoat, staff and glasses, standing idly. Nearby is Eve, the red-headed assassin who's currently wearing a Blitzkrieg uniform.] [Eve's arms are currently extended, holding onto two knives jammed into Adela Muller's gut. Muller appears to be floating in a ball of light.] [They both look your way. Adam grins. "Hmph. More of them. Don't worry, this won't take long."] * Roseli reaches to her bracelet and presses the requisite buttons, shooting herself up in a different sense. [Eve removes her knives with a jerk, causing Adela to cry out in a choked gutterance.] ( Gimmie init rolls. ) 2d8+18 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+18) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 28. 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8+8) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 16. 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+7) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 12. 2d8+14 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8+14) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 19. 2d8+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+8) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 14. [Also, a slime monster suddenly ambushes you from behind! Luckily Luana turns her attention to it.] ( gawd. ) [Order: Rose, Eve, togo, Jamie, Adam, Heinrick, Keiko] [Rose!] * Roseli moves quickly, forward and to the side, giving other people room to enter as she fires at Eve. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-4) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 3. [Eve doesn't move. She apparently doesn't have to, because Rose's bullet stops a foot in front of her, still spinning. She smirks. "Little girl, you don't know who you're dealing with."] [Then the bullet flies towards Rose. Rose, gimme a def roll!] 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 15 for a result of 12. (Fail.) [Ouch. Rose is hit by her own bullet.] (Also, srsly, I highly doubt Eve is that much older/taller than Rose is!) ( She's actually younger and shorter. XD ) [Togo!] (Really? Rose isn't that tall - but I believe it.) ( Oh. Dang, I'm wrong ) ( She's slightly taller. ) (Also, you can anybody call Rose little girl when Lu and Jamie are there?) * Roseli looks surprised and takes the bullet in the shoulder, but the armor mitigates some of that and she's not screaming in pain. * Togo enters the room and circles the other way, firing a burst from his SMG at Adam. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. ( Made by 3 ) [Togo's bullets meet with much the same effect Rose's did. Though luckily for him, they don't fly back at him. Yet. For now, they just hover there in mid air, spinning.] [Jamie!] Oh for fuck's sakes. * Jamie tries to shoot Eve then. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-3) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 10. (And wiffs badly!) * Jamie tries again with a second shot! 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-3) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 3. (By 5!) [Jamie's first bullet doesn't stop. It just hits the wall. Her second does, though.] [Adam grins. "We know all about you. Up until now, you've had it easy. You've never had to deal with soldiers of our calibur." He points his staff, and the ball of light - with Adela in it - flies towards Jamie.] (Ranged deff I assume?) ( Yeah. ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 6. (On the dot. ._.) [Jamie avoids Adela, who simply crashes into a wall instead. Jamie still gets covered with Adela's blood, though.] [Adela collapses to the floor, the ball of light disappating. Unfortunately for the rest of you, Adam's not done. He points his staff your way, and tendrils of light arc in your direction. Everyone but Rose, gimme a ranged def +1] 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. 2d8-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-1) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 6. 2d8+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8+1) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 14. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-2) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 5. ( made ) (Thank Ten, I made it again.) [Most of you manage to avoid the light as it burns holes into the door frame. Keiko doesn't though, but luckily her shield absorbs most of it. Most, not all.] [Heinrick!] * Keiko hisses slightly as she is singed by the light. * Heinrick reaches into his coat after shifting away from the light and gets into position. He doesn't pull anything out just yet though, seeming to be watching the both of them, then glancing at Roseli. Maybe he has an idea. (Readied action, until before Rose's turn) [Keiko] * Keiko looks towards the two assassins and remains floating slightly off the ground. She grits her teeth as she just stares. Good times. ( /gets out the mind combat rules again. ) 2 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2 2d8-5) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 7 4. (Make by 3, Make by 6.) [Heinrick!] * Heinrick finally gets in position and pulls out what he was reaching for, launching the explosive vial quickly in the air to the edge of Eve's forcefield. It almost looks like he's *letting* her catch it, but it's more inbetween the two of them. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 9. (>_<) [It's between, but it also doesn't reach. Heinrick creates a firey pit between the two of you.] [Rose!] * Heinrick scowls and immediately reaches in again. "That alone isn't going to do it." * Roseli runs around the fiery pit and for Adam, going for the grab and hold (and gun! Guns are fun!). 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-4) and gets a natural 15 for a result of 11. (Oh my LORD Dicey.) [Y'all ain't having much luck. Fortunately the walls are extremely thick, so you don't drown yourselves.] [Meanwhile, Eve looks at the bullets floating on front of her and Adam with a smug grin on her face, and they fly backwards. (Jamie, gimme a def roll. Togo, gimme a def. roll against autofire.) ] 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. ( Made by 3 ) (... I'm out of defences. What's the penalty per?) ( -1 for the first ) [Togo's lucky enough to avoid all of his own bullets.] ( It's +2. ) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 11. ( Or is it +4? Crap. ) ( Right, not 3e. ) (I'm hit!) ( It's +4 ) (It's +4 because Tri-Stat is BRUTAL when it comes to multiple defenses.) [Jamie is shot! By herself!] (DAMNIT TOGO, why must you give me hurtfull guns with which to injure myself! ;_;) ( What say we end after this round? ) ( Shoot harder. They'll get through. ) [Togo!] (Sure? Tired?) ( Yeah, a little. And I gotta get up early. ) * Togo swaps out his SMG for the Deuce of Winchesters, chambers a round with that nifty lever-action, and fires a burst of white energy at Adam. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 1. ( Made by 9 ) (!) ( Errrrm...... I don't see that on Togo's sheet. ) ( There's a Jack of Winchesters. ) ( Whoops, sorry. Mislabeled. ) ( That's the one ) ( K. ) ( It was originally Deuce, but I upgraded it and renamed it. ) [Togo's beam of light is stopped in mid air. It's still spinning, but ok just kidding. There's a bright flash in front of Adam as the blast from Togo's rifle hits a shield of light. But it manages to penetrate through and since Adam's shoulder. He grimaces in what's more like anger than pain.] [Jamie!] (Ha, now your shoulder's hit, too! See how you like it!) * Jamie tries shooting Adam, there's a chance that his field is down. (Spending an action to aim because man.) 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-5) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 4. (Hey! A maybe hit) [Jamie fires off an excellent shot! That stops in mid air, a foot away from Adam's chest.] [Adam himself doesn't look amused. His shield returns, glowing brightly for a minute, then he points his staff towards Togo, firing his own beam of white energy.] (Do you mean a second? Because I doubt his turn's a whole minute. :D) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 1. ( Made by a lot ) ( No. He waits a whole minute and you can't do anything in the meantime because it's his turn, goddammit. ) (What a jerk.) ( That delaying bastard! ) (Stupid turn-based RPGs) [Togo avoids the blast, which only seems to infuriate Adam further.] [Heinrick!] * Togo smirks lightly as he sidesteps. * Heinrick releases his arm suddenly, withdrawing nothing. "I'll come back to that plan. For now..." He tries to quickly get within Eve's guard and shove her into the fire with a shoulder slam. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-2) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 9. (Good lord, what is it with these one off rolls?) [That doesn't work so well for Heinrick.] [Keiko!] * Keiko floats there with a thin frown on her lips, apparently figuring Heinrick's got such a good idea, she'll try the same thing with her mind. Or maybe she was planning on it anyway. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-4) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 0. (Make by 7.) [That actually works, and Eve staggers into the fire, screaming as she gets a hot foot.] [To be continued!]
