<Brett> [Day: Sunday, June 22nd.  Time: 11: 51 p.m.]
<Brett> [You're inside an old convent in the Black Forest.  Outside there's like
a gajillion demons, but Clyde, Masaru and Xuan are holding them off pretty good. 
The inside is simple enough: A long corridor leads to a set of double doors. 
The corridor itself is lined with single doors.  It's all lit by torch light.]
<Brett> [You've got 9 minutes left to stop Mitsuji Ueda from sacrificing Cyra
and opening a portal to hell.]
<Brett> [Start]
* Roseli only has nine minutes, so she moves pretty fast, jogging down the hall
with her gun in both hands and looking for any signs as to getting close(r) to
them.
<Brett> ( Oh yeah, you're all in top condition due to Felias's magikes. Except
Rose, who still looks beat up from the last time.] )
<Brett> ( And gimme sight checks )
* Togo heads forward towards the double doors, sweeping left and right to check
the doors they pass by. "Luana, cover our backs, make sure nothing comes outta
these doors."
<Togo> 2d8
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8) and gets a natural 9 for a result of
9.
<Togo> ( Nope )
<Keiko> 2d8-2
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result
of 8.
<Keiko> (Make by 2.)
<Jamie> 2d8-2
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 7 for a result
of 5.
* Luana replies, "On it," and spins around, hurrying awkwardly backwards in
order to keep an eye on things.
<Luana> 2d8
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8) and gets a natural 6 for a result of
6.
<Jamie> (Could I listen instead?)
<Brett> ( No )
<Jamie> (Damn perfectly silent things.)
<Jamie> (... And it's been so long I've forgotten which stat that's running on)
<Roseli> 2d8
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8) and gets a natural 8 for a result
of 8.
<Roseli> (Made!)
<Brett> [Rose, along with most of the rest of you, notice the thin piece of
razor-sharp wire across the hallway.  Luckily, since Rose is in the lead, she's
able to stop before running into it and losing one or more legs.]
* Roseli stops the others and points out the wire, then... steps over it. It's
very high tech.
<Togo> Nasty. *steps over; keeps moving*
<Brett> d6
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d6) and gets a natural 6 for a result of
6.
<Brett> ( Togo! Gimme a hearing roll! )
* Luana faces forward to step over it, then turns around again.
<Jamie> 2d8-10
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-10) and gets a natural 10 for a
result of 0.
* Keiko wraps her arms around herself, floating along. She says weakly,
"Telepathy... he's blocking it."
* Jamie moves to the side of the passage. "Above."
<Togo> 2d8-6
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-6) and gets a natural 10 for a result
of 4.
<Togo> ( Made by 3 )
<Brett> [Togo notices a ninja drop down from above, just as he tosses a shuriken
at him.  Gimme a ranged def roll, Togo!  And everyone roll init.]
<Togo> 2d8-3
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result
of 6.
<Roseli> 2d8+8
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+8) and gets a natural 10 for a

<Brett> ( Waiting for Heinrick. )
<Heinrick> 2d8+8
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8+8) and gets a natural 14 for a
result of 22.
<Brett> [Order is: Jamie, Eiji (who's undoubtedly the ninja), Heinrick, Keiko,
Luana, Rose]
<Brett> [Jamie!]
* Jamie shoots the swooping thing from above! (Probably Eiji)
<Jamie> 2d8-2
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 6 for a result
of 4.
<Brett> [Jamie shoots him as he drops! ............. But on closer inspection,
she actually shot a log.  The real Eiji appears from behind, swinging a
kusari-gama at Heinrick, who needs a defense roll at +1]
<Heinrick> 2d8-5
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-5) and gets a natural 6 for a
result of 1.
* Heinrick instinctively reacts, throwing up his cybernetic arm in the way to
block the incoming sickle-chain.
<Brett> [Heinrick blocks the sickle with his arm.  The blade scrapes off some of
the skin, but doesn't cause any serious damage.
<Brett> ]
<Brett> [Togo!]
* Togo swaps out for his shotgun and fires a round off at Eiji. "Tip from a
vet... pajamas make bad bodyarmor."
<Togo> 2d8-3
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 4 for a result
of 1.
<Togo> ( Made by 8 )
<Brett> [He tries to dodge out of the way, but Togo catches him with a grazing
shot.]
<Brett> [Heinrick!]
<Luana> (I thought Togo meant veterinarian at first and was very confused.)
<Togo> ( I have other character that will spay and neuter, but notsomuch Togo. )
* Heinrick takes out some of the bonding solution vial out and throws it towards
the ninja. Best way to track a ninja is to get it to stay in one place.
<Heinrick> 2d8-4
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 9 for a
result of 5.
<Brett> [Heinrick covers the guy's leg in the stuff.  He's still moving, but
looks like he's been slowed a little.]
<Brett> [Keiko]
* Keiko frowns and sidesteps, a concrete block coming out of her cloak before
rocketing at the ninja. "Go away. We have places to be."
<Keiko> 2d8-3
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-3) and gets a natural 7 for a result
of 4.
<Keiko> (Make by 3.)
<Brett> [And Keiko clips him on the shoulder with a concrete block.]
<Brett> ( This guy's not as much of a challenge as I thought he'd be >.> )
<Brett> [Luana!]
<Keiko> (We're rolling well.)
<Keiko> (Give it a second.)
* Luana is still trying to keep an eye on the area they came from, just in case,
but she splits her attention long enough to fire a shot at the ninja. (Homing
Bullet)
<Luana> 2d8-7
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-7) and gets a natural 10 for a result
of 3.
<Brett> [And Luana catches him witha homing bullet.  He's not looking too good.]
<Brett> [Rose!]
* Roseli glances at the floor, then steps back and to the side of the ninja,
firing with both hands.
<Roseli> 2d8-4
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-4) and gets a natural 7 for a result
of 3.
<Roseli> (Get!)
<Brett> [And Rose puts another hole in him. He collapses.]
* Roseli walks over to him and checks his pulse. Dead, y/n?
<Brett> [But that's not the end! A blond woman rushes out of the room nearest
the double doors and screams "Eiji!" Then she shouts something in what sounds
like Latin, and jagged columns of ice spring up around you.  Everyone gimme a
ranged def roll]
<Luana> 2d8-4
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-4) and gets a natural 5 for a result
of 1.
<Roseli> (Me too?)
<Jamie> 2d8-2
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 9 for a result
of 7.
<Roseli> 2d8-3
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-3) and gets a natural 12 for a
result of 9.
<Togo> 2d8-3
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 5 for a result
of 2.
<Jamie> (I'm hit!)
<Togo> ( Made by 5 )
<Heinrick> 2d8-4
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 7 for a
result of 3.
<Brett> ( Not Rose )
<Roseli> (I missed anyway. :D)
<Keiko> 2d8
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8) and gets a natural 10 for a result
of 10.
<Keiko> (I have to crit on a d20 or better to dodge without telepathy. Hits the
shield.)
<Brett> [Most of you manage to avoid the ice storm.  Not Jamie and Keiko,
though.  Jamie gets an icicle stuck through her arm, and Keiko's shield nearly
shatters.  Rose is almost impaled, too, but the ice stops before reaching her.]
<Brett> [Jamie!]
* Jamie tries to pull her arm of the icicle and then shoot at the woman because
she does have two actions after all.
<Jamie> 2d8-2
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result
of 8.
<Jamie> (On the dot for the shooting at least)
<Brett> [Jamie hits! .... some kind of force field.]
<Brett> [Togo!]
* Togo swaps out his shotgun for his shieldbreaker and fires at the woman.
"Finish off the damn ninja while I break through her shield!"
<Togo> 2d8-3
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d8-3) and gets a natural 10 for a result
of 7.
<Togo> ( made by 2 )
<Brett> [And that seems to work. Something around her crumbles like glass.]
<Brett> [Heinrick!]
* Heinrick notices the ninja out of the side of his eyes and notes Roseli
checking him over. While she's doing that, he focuses on throwing a dagger at
the now broken shield.
<Heinrick> 2d8-4
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-4) and gets a natural 11 for a
result of 7.
<Brett> [And hits her in the arm.  She screams! "Murderers! I won't let you
through!"]
<Brett> [Keiko]
* Keiko reaches out and tries to grab her by the throat and apply pressure. "You
will let us through, before you kill Cyra."
<Keiko> (Telekinetically.)
<Keiko> 2d8-4
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8-4) and gets a natural 9 for a result
of 5.
<Keiko> (Make by 2.)
<Jamie> (Is Keiko going to have to force choke a bitch?)
<Keiko> (TK crush damagewise, so 18ish.)
<Brett> [Apparently.  One hand goes to her throat.  In her other's a staff, in
case I forgot to mention.]
<Brett> [Luana!]
<Heinrick> I do *apologize* but I believe that releasing demons into the world
qualifies you as slightly larger potential murderers than the rest of us.
* Luana fires off another shot at the woman. (Homing Bullet)
<Luana> 2d8-7
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Luana (2d8-7) and gets a natural 3 for a result
of -4.
<Brett> [And Luana shoots her in the shoulder.]
<Brett> [Rose!]
<Roseli> (What's the penalty for shooting her in the hand so she drops the
staff?)
<Brett> ( +8 )
<Roseli> (Ew.)
<Keiko> (Yeah, Tristat is a dick.)
* Roseli aims for the woman's staff hand and shoots at it in an attempt to get
her to drop the thing.
<Roseli> 2d8-2
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8-2) and gets a natural 11 for a
result of 9.
<Roseli> (Aw. :()
<Brett> [Rose... misses!]
<Brett> [Between choking and bleeding, the woman manages to desperately point
her staff towards Keiko, and a wall of ice starts forming around her.  Gimme a
ranged def roll Keiko]
<Keiko> 2d8
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Keiko (2d8) and gets 16, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!!
"Death is temporary, only failure is forever. You may have just done both."
<Keiko> (Still no.)
<Brett> ( :O )
<Brett> [Keiko suddenly finds herself frozen in a block of ice, the shock of
which ruins her concentration for telekinesis.]
<Brett> [Jamie!]
<Keiko> (... well, wake me up when combat's over, then.)
* Jamie tries to shoot the woman twice, because she's not much for one girl
rushes at the door.
<Jamie> 2 2d8-2
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2 2d8-2) and gets a natural 3 for a
result of 7 1.
<Jamie> (And both maybe hit)
<Brett> [And that pretty much finishes her off.  She collapses, uttering. "No...
Mitsuji...."]
* Togo tosses Heinrick a set of shackles as he moves with another set to the
ninja. "Let's make sure we don't get any surprises."
* Heinrick frowns slightly. "Luana, could you melt Keiko out of that as quickly
as possible?"
* Heinrick catches the shackles.
* Roseli glances at her watch, then looks ahead.
* Jamie hurries to the door because there's what, six minutes to the end of the
world at this point and she hasn't played enough video games to know that's when
you do all the side questing.
<Brett> [4!]
* Togo shackles the ninja, right wrist to left ankle and vice versa.
* Heinrick goes to shackle the woman.
* Luana is already trying to melt Keiko out.
<Luana> (It's totally time to breed chocobos, guys.)
<Roseli> Let's move.
<Brett> [As Jamie passes one of the doors, a bald guy with an eyepatch emerges
and says "Wait! I'll give you a Mjollnir if you go to Zurich and bring me 10 raw
goblin hides!"  Actually that doesn't happen, but would it really surprise you
if it did?]
<Keiko> (We just lost _5 minutes_ taking out two people?)
<Togo> ( Dude, I want a Mjolner )
<Togo> ( er, Mjolnir )
<Brett> [You shackle the ninja and woman, both of whom are apparently still
alive.]
* Keiko finally gets melted out and rubs her shoulders, shivering. "Too cold for
cold." She looks to Lu and smiles a little. "Thank you."
<Brett> ( Also.... Jamie, gimme a sight check )
<Luana> No problem, come on.
<Jamie> (Why couldn't I get some other sense, like touch or taste or hearing?)
* Keiko floats forward with a soft chuckle. "Yes'm."
<Jamie> 2d8-2
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Jamie (2d8-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result
of 8.
* Heinrick makes his way for the ready.
<Jamie> (If that's a body stat, no)
<Brett> [Jamie stops before running into another wire.]
* Jamie steps over it. "Another wire."
* Roseli moves and steps over the wire, nodding to Jamie.
* Togo steps over the wire and keeps moving.
<Brett> [You reach the double doors!]
* Roseli ... opens the double doors.
<Brett> [They're wood, with iron wings, and quite wide.  And, as Rose discovers,
apparently barred on the other side.]
<Jamie> (Remind me what happens if Crya dies early?"
<Togo> ( We dunno. Prolly not good. )
<Keiko> (We still apparnetly lose.)
<Jamie> (Damn)
* Luana gets to burning through the doors.
<Brett> [They start burning!]
* Keiko says quietly, "Let me help," and moves near to Luana, extending her own
hand and flicking the wrist slightly, to help spread the fire and press against
the weakening door.
<Brett> [And the fire spreads.  The door burns. But not instantly.]
<Jamie> Heinrick?
* Heinrick glances at Jamie for a moment. "Yes?"
* Roseli frowns. And reaches to the fire, to see if it burns her.
<Brett> [It doesn't!]
<Jamie> Break it?
<Heinrick> Well if it wasn't on fire currently, I would.
* Jamie thinks about that for a moment, and then nods and tries to do something
about the hole in her arm.
* Luana twists her hand to the side, and the fire dies.
* Luana looks to Heinrick.
* Heinrick flexes his metallic fingers. "One moment." He works on punching
through the door underneath the bar and then lifting the bar.
* Keiko lets it go too, then closes her eyes.
<Heinrick> (Preferably part of the door weakened by fire)
<Brett> ( Gimme a strength roll, +2 )
* Roseli throws herself at the other door, trying to just break it down.
<Heinrick> 2d8-6
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Heinrick (2d8-6) and gets a natural 11 for a
result of 5.
<Heinrick> (By 1)
<Brett> [Heinrick punches through the door!]
<Brett> ( And Rose, gimme a body roll at +4 )
<Roseli> 2d8+4
* Dicesuke throws the bones for Roseli (2d8+4) and gets a natural 11 for a
result of 15.
<Roseli> (Ha, no.)
<Brett> [Rose fails to batter down the door.]
* Heinrick lifts the bar out of the way then.
<Brett> [Heinrick lifts it pretty easily.]
* Heinrick puts his shoulder into shoving the door then. Ramming speed.
<Brett> [Heinrick easily breaks through the door now that it's been weakened and
the bar is out of the way.  Behind it is the end of the session.]
