<@Brett> [Date: Sunday, April 3rd.  Time: 3:00 p.m.  Location: The Mozambique
Channel.]
<@Brett> [You're still on a boat!  Nearing the border of Mozambique and South
Africa.  The weather's a bit chilly above deck.  For no particular reason, or
maybe out of boredom, you're gathering in the common room again.  Currently on
TV: Old (OLD) reruns of Happy Days.]
<Sonia> (Does that mean this country we're going to is around the horn, on the
west side of the southern part of Africa?)
<@Brett> (But soon to be followed by the Simpsons season 108)
<@Brett> ( Yep. )
<Gordo> (Proof that this game is about to jump the shark.)
<@Brett> [Start!]
<@Brett> [Alysha's spent most of her time holed up in her room doing top secret
things! Unless you're Shiho. Then it's not so secret.]
<@Brett> ( Zakanar's basically located at what's currently the northern part of
Angola. )
<@Brett> ( I kinda thought Angola was further south than it is though, but too
late for that now. )
<@Brett> ( I forgot about Namibia. )
<@Brett> ( Also we're mission a session 44 :o )
<Sonia> (I'm aware. Summary of Session 44: people re-met, we got forced to get
on a boat.)
* Wingdance is now known as Shiho
* Dreol is now known as Nigel
<@Brett> ["Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy," says the Fonz.]
* Nigel is actually not watching TV. Instead, he is reading, as usual. But he is
sitting in a chair in the common room.
* Montana is in the common room, because the GM said so. But he seems to have
gotten thoroughly bored of the reruns, ad he's seated and snoozing with his hat
over his face.
* Shiho is watching tv and eating ice cream, her legs thrown over the side of
the chair.
* Gordo 's watching a Battle of Britain remake that's at least as old as the
show on the TV on his tablet.
<Shiho> (We are chillin)
<@Brett> [Apparently no one has anything to say to each other, so moving on....]
<Montana> (I'm nappin!)
<Sonia> (What a nerd.)
<Shiho> (Shiho runs out of ice cream. She panics.)
<Gordo> (Sorry, I'm kinda really out of it.)
<@Brett> [Suddenly there's a blaring siren.]
<@Brett> [It totally blares.]
* Nigel says, without looking up from his book. "Interesting fact about Happy
Days, The Fonz and Mr. Cunningham are the only characters to appear in every
episode."
<Nigel> (Move that)
* Nigel then looks up. "Huh... That's not good." He gets up and leaves the
common room, heading above deck."
* Montana jumps up suddenly, already reaching for his gun. "What's going on?"
<@Brett> [Nigel nearly bumps into Alysha on the way out the door.]
* Gordo pockets his tablet without bothering to turn it off. "Dunnae know yet.
Deck's the place to for a headcount."
* Gordo goes upward.
* Nigel steps back. "Miss Johnson... What's the commotion?"
<@Brett> [Alysha starts heading upstairs. "I'm trying to find out myself! It's
impossible to study with this noise."]
* Shiho grabs her sword from where it was leaning against her chair and rebelts
the sheath. "Boss, in the middle of the group, please."
* Shiho heads up and makes sure Alysha isn't at the front of the group.
<@Brett> [Alysha pauses, then steps back to let Nigel go first. "Okay."]
* Nigel bows slightly, draws his sword and heads up.
* Sonia says, over comms, ~Fuck, that was way too loud. What was that for?~
<Nigel> (We hit an iceburg. We now get to reinact the titanic)
<Nigel> (reenact, rather)
* Montana comms, ~Fuck if I know. We're in the common room.~
<Sonia> ~On my way up.~
<@Brett> [You (Nigel, Gordo and Shiho, anyhow) get to the upper deck.  There you
see the ship's crew gathering at the railings. They've got rifles in hand. 
Alysha spots Captain Burns at one end, and starts making her way to him.]
* Shiho stays by Alysha's side
<@Brett> [She looks about ready to say something when someone else cuts her off
on a megaphone, in thickly accented English. "I repeat. Lower your arms and
prepare to be boarded.  You will not be harmed."]
<@Brett> [Alysha looks to him. "Captain?"  He turns around, frowning. "Ms.
Johnson.  I'm afraid we've run into a bit of a problem."]
<Gordo> ... Arn't we too far south for pirates?
* Montana heads up once Sonia gets there, so hopefully they will all end up in
the sameish place!
* Nigel draws his crossbow as well and smirks before calling back. "We make no
such promises about your health and well being, so you may want to rethink your
bloody offer and carry on, eh?"]
* Shiho says lowly, "Boss, you should hole up in your room. It'll be safer."
<@Brett> [For convenience sake, they do! The same place, in fact! The captain
clears his throat. "Maybe a decade ago.  Cheeky bastards've been expanding since
South Africa cut back on its naval patrols back in the 90's.]
<@Brett> [Alysha looks at Shiho, then nods. "Alright. Kick some ass for me."]
<@Brett> [Meanwhile, the man on the megaphone shouts again, "This is your last
warning! Lay down your weapons or you will die!"]
* Shiho draws her sword. "Will do."
<@Brett> ( Cliffhanger! Nah, not really. )
* Sonia comes up with Montana, peering a little. "Well, this is bloody
ridiculous..."
<Gordo> Sonia, Captain, neither a you would happen to have an RPG or three
stashed about would you?
* Nigel nods. "You got some demons and a couple of dark gods on board? Because,
if not, I've faced worse!"
<@Brett> ["Unfortunately, no," he says.  "Good news is, I dont' think they do
either. Bad news is, there's a lot of them.  At least 30 by my count."]
<@Brett> [Burns eyes Nigel. "Beggin' yer pardon?"]
* Sonia rolls her eyes behind her shades and looks to Montana before saying,
more loudly, "Do you care if I just blow a hole at the waterline of their ship?
I mean, it might take me a few minutes."
* Nigel looks to the captain and shrugs. "Long story, captain... Probably not
the best time. I wrote a book. You are welcome to a copy."]
<@Brett> [Alysha heads below decks! Before I forget that.]
<Gordo> I'm in favor.
<Montana> Thinkin' that may be the captain's call.
<@Brett> ["By all means," the captain says, and walks back towards the railing.
"Pick a ship. I count at least four."]
* Montana has his hands in his pockets, looking around.
* Sonia groans a little, then says, "Okay, I'm good, but not getting shot while
I try to blow up 4 ships is a hell of a push."
* Gordo grins. "let me fetch my sniping gear."
<@Brett> [The captain frownss. "Big problem is those miniguns mounted on their
ships."]
<Montana> Lookin' like some form of surrender is unavoidable, if you're
outgunned that bad.
* Sonia nods slightly, glancing around a moment before saying, "So if they
decide you ain't worth it anymore, they just tear the ship in half?"
<@Brett> [Burns eyes Montana. "And what? Lose my reputation, my job, your cargo.
You know they'll probably take Miss Johnson with them, too.  No, we ain't
surrenderin'."]
<Nigel> (The fact that this guy is named Burns is making me read these actions
very strangely)
* Sonia bites her lip a moment, then says, "So you need to buy time so they
can't order the miniguns on ya."
* Gordo goes below to get said gear.
<Sonia> While we blow 'em up.
<@Brett> ( Should I change his name to Ahab? )
<Nigel> (No)
<Sonia> Sound 'bout right?
<@Brett> [Before he can answer, shots ring out! As his men return fire, Abraham
yells. "I dunno, but whatever yer doin', do it fast!"]
<@Brett> ( And gimme init rolls! )
<Nigel> 2d6+5
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Nigel and gets a natural 7 for a result of 12.
<Sonia> 2d6+5
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Sonia and gets a natural 8 for a result of 13.
<Shiho> 2d6+11
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+11 for Shiho and gets a natural 4 for a result of 15.
<Gordo> 2d6+7
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Gordo and gets a natural 9 for a result of 16.
<Montana> 2d6+8
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+8 for Montana and gets a natural 6 for a result of 14.
<@Brett> ( Wow. )
<@Brett> ( dem rolls )
<Sonia> (pretty average)
<Montana> (Oh crap, did I not send you Montana's updated sheet?  I just got the
CT we talked about, where I can grab weapons I disarm with whip.)
<@Brett> ( Nope )
<@Brett> ( dun got it )
<Montana> (D:  And I take it it doesn't take effect.  Ugh, and I updated it last
session, too.)
<@Brett> [Gordo, Shiho, Montana, Sonia, Ship 1, nigel, Ship 2, Ship 3, Cargo
Crew, Ship 4]
<@Brett> [Gordo!]
<Gordo> (Do they have anybody maning the miniguns?)
<@Brett> [The pirate ships are significantly smaller than the cargo ship.
Faster, too, no doubt.  And yes, they do. The miniguns are mostly doing
suppressive fire.]
* Gordo runs back up from below decks with his riffle and aims it over the side
of the boat at the gunner on ship #1.
<Gordo> 2d6+7
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Gordo and gets a natural 9 for a result of 16.
<@Brett> ( Oh, I should mention the ships are at long range here. )
<@Brett> ( Which shouldn't matter for Gordo's rifle, but. )
<@Brett> ( Let me look up range penalties quick )
<Gordo> ('ve got range 3 AND extended range.)
<Gordo> (Also deadeye and steady hand. I give no fucks about intervehicle combat
with guns)
<@Brett> ( Oh dear. )
<@Brett> ( they made ranges more complicated in 3e :< )
<@Brett> ( lasdkfjlafjkldsjkfasd;lfjk )
<Montana> (That's a lot of letters.)
<@Brett> ( Why can't they just make this simple. )
<@Brett> ( Ok. The ships are all between 501-1000 meters away. )
<@Brett> ( why they have to make this so confusing is beyond me. Anyhow that's a
-3 penalty for most people, reduced by far shot and extended range. )
<@Brett> ( As for Gordo )
<Gordo> (Right, I'm actually taking -1)
<@Brett> ( I don't think so. Your rifle has extended range, no? )
<Gordo> (Range 3 + extended which doubles it So I"m good out to 400 meters
without penalty)
<@Brett> ( Ugh. I must be reading this wrong. )
<Gordo> (Page 144?)
<@Brett> ( Ok, let's say the ships are 200-400 meters out then. )
<Gordo> (Alright, no penalty for me!)
<@Brett> ( these dang rules give me a headache )
<Gordo> (Well, we usually fight in melee ranges anyway)
<@Brett> [Anyhow, Gordo shoots the guy right in the chest. He grimaces and falls
out of his chair, and the minigun from ship 1 becomes inactive.]
<@Brett> [Shiho!]
<@Brett> ( Yeah. That's why when something like this comes up.... ; ; )
* Shiho draws her pistol and, grimacing at the distance, fires at whoever's
handling the minigun on ship 2.
<Shiho> 2d6+4
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+4 for Shiho and gets a natural 5 for a result of 9.
<@Brett> [Unfortunately the bullet goes *ping* off the deck next to the man.]
<@Brett> [Montana!]
* Montana also pulls out his pistol and aims, then fires at the guy on ship 2,
for whatever that's worth.
<Montana> (Full attack so as to deal with this penalty.)
<Montana> 2d6+7
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Montana and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14.
<@Brett> [Montana hits the man!  He slumps forward in his chair.]
<@Brett> [Sonia!]
* Sonia nods to herself, seemingly, and then goes running for the side of the
boat. She comms, ~I'm going for waterlines, then, while you hold their
attention,~ and then takes a flying leap off a boat.
<@Brett> [Sonia falls off a boat!]
<Gordo> (Slightly harder than falling off a log!)
<@Brett> [The pirates on ship 1 move into action.  Some of them fire grapnel
lines, catching at the side of the ship, and start climbing up them.  The rest
fire to provide them cover.]
<@Brett> 20d20
* Dicesuke rolls 20d20 for Brett and gets a natural 217 for a result of 217.
<@Brett> ( Oops )
<@Brett> ( That totally didn't work )
<Gordo> 20 d20
* Dicesuke rolls 10 1d20 for Gordo and gets a natural ( 13 6 7 8 1 1 5 13 20 10
) for a result of ( 13 6 7 8 1 1 5 13 20 10 ).
<@Brett> ( Thanks, but I decided just to use a d6 instead :P )
<@Brett> 4 d6
* Dicesuke rolls 4 1d6 for Brett and gets a natural ( 1 2 6 2 ) for a result of
( 1 2 6 2 ).
<@Brett> ( Gordo, Montana x2 and Sonia, gimme defense rolls )
<Gordo> 2d6+5
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 5 for a result of 10.
<Montana> (I full attacked... uh, what does that mean for defense? ^^)
<Gordo> (-3)
<Sonia> 2d6
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6 for Sonia and gets a natural 10 for a result of 10.
<Montana> (Thanks!)
<Sonia> (+6.)
<Montana> 2d6+3
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+3 for Montana and gets a natural 3 for a result of 6.
<Montana> 2d6+2
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+2 for Montana and gets a natural 7 for a result of 9.
<@Brett> [Bullets fill the sky as the pirates fire.  One ricochets off a
container, near Gordo's head.  Another pings off the side of the boat, where
Sonia is.  And one grazes Montana's side.]
<@Brett> [Nigel]
<Nigel> (How far away are these guys shooting guns? Are they still 200 meters
away?)
<@Brett> ( Yeah )
<@Brett> ( They have assault rifles, though )
<@Brett> ( No penalty for range 3 weapons. )
<Nigel> (Nigel's crossbow is range 1)
<Nigel> (So what would the penalty be?)
<@Brett> ( ._. a lot. Though he can shoot at the guys on the Grapnel lines
instead. )
<Nigel> (That sounds better. Sure)
<@Brett> ( I'm gonna guess it's a -3 penalty for that. )
<Montana> (Seems right!)
<@Brett> ( I don't know. I hate this table ; ; )
* Nigel aims at one of the pirates on a grapnel line and fires a crossbow bolt.
<Nigel> 2d6+4
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+4 for Nigel and gets a natural 9 for a result of 13.
<Gordo> (I ... don't think you can hit them from here. Hand crossbow has a max
range of 10 meters. @_@)
<Nigel> (There. Took care of the penalty on my side)
<Nigel> (Blargh... that may be.)
<Nigel> (Can I hold the attack and fire when they get in range?)
<Nigel> (Man... I really to finish stating out that new crossbow)
<@Brett> ( Sure. Or you could just use your sword and cut the tables. )
<@Brett> ( cables >.> )
<@Brett> ( cut the cables. )
<@Brett> ( No table cutting )
<Nigel> (sure. That's fine)
<Nigel> (Retcon that attack)
* Nigel rushes up to one of the cables and slices at it with his sword.
<Nigel> (Do I actually need to make an attack roll? I don't know...)
<@Brett> ( Yes, because it's a thick cable. )
<Nigel> 2d6+6
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Nigel and gets a natural 11 for a result of 17.
<Nigel> (Okay)
<@Brett> ( Though actually it'd probably be a body (strength roll), but that's
fine either way. )
<@Brett> [Nigel cuts a cable, and the man on the other end screams as he
plummets to the water.]
<@Brett> [Ship 2 and 3, which seem to have less crew than ship 1 because the GM
messed up his numbers bad, fling their own cables, 2 each. joining the 5
remaining ones from Ship 1.  The other men open fire on the cargo ship crew. I
totally forgot the name of your ship, so it's "the cargo ship" now.]
<@Brett> ( Oh, the Abercrombie )
<@Brett> [Some of the Abercrombie's crew are injured, but they return the favor
afterwards.  Meanwhil, ship 4 fires its own grapnels, for a total of 11 cables
on your ship.]
<@Brett> [Gordo!]
<@Brett> ( Miniguns still up on ships 3 and 4. )
* Gordo runs to the other side of the ship to take care of that little
oversight!
<Gordo> 2 2d6+7
* Dicesuke rolls 2 2d6+7 for Gordo and gets a natural ( 7 11 ) for a result of (
14 18 ).
<@Brett> [Gordo's expert marksmanship takes out both gunners.]
<@Brett> [Shiho!]
* Shiho runs over to a cable to cut it down.
<Shiho> 2d6+8
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+8 for Shiho and gets a natural 12 and a modified 20, a
CRITICAL SUCCESS! "Astonishing! May I borrow your pituitary gland for a moment?
You'll get it back good as new, I promise!"
<Shiho> (I CUT DOWN ALL THE CABLES AT ONCE)
<@Brett> [Shiho manages to cut through both of ship 3's cables in a single
stroke.]
<Montana> (WOO)
<@Brett> [Montana!]
<Gordo> (Shiho makes it rain men)
<Shiho> (Yessss)
<Montana> (Any pirates on our ship yet?)
<@Brett> ( Not yet! )
<Montana> (Okay, what are my options for targets? ^^)
<@Brett> ( Any of the 7 guys climbing the cables, or the riflemen on the ships.
There's about 20 of them left.] )
<Montana> (Same penalty regardless?)
<@Brett> ( Yep! )
* Montana fires at one of the riflemen, as Nigel and Shiho seem to have the
cables largely in hand.
<Montana> (Full attack again!)
<Montana> 2d6+7
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Montana and gets a natural 5 for a result of 12.
<@Brett> [Montana hits! The man clutches his chest and falls over backwards.]
<@Brett> [Sonia!]
<Sonia> (Land on my boat and begin zooming off to lay traps?)
<@Brett> ( Looking up her boat speed )
<Sonia> (100 kph)
<@Brett> ( K )
<@Brett> [Sonia lands on her boat and begins zooming off to lay traps.]
<@Brett> [Ship 1 opens fire!]
<@Brett> 2 d5
* Dicesuke rolls 2 1d5 for Brett and gets a natural ( 5 2 ) for a result of ( 5
2 ).
<@Brett> ( >.> )
<@Brett> ( Montana and Sonia, gimme def rolls! )
<Sonia> 2d6+6
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Sonia and gets a natural 6 for a result of 12.
<Montana> 2d6+3
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+3 for Montana and gets a natural 3 for a result of 6.
<@Brett> [Sonia speeds by a bullet! Or a bullet speeds by Sonia. Either way.
She's fine. Montana, not so much. He takes another shot in the side, and should
be thankful his armor beared most of the hit.]
<@Brett> [Nigel!]
<@Brett> [Now that they're closer, you can see the men on the cables are using
technologically advanced reverse-ziplines, zooming quickly up towards the
Abercrombie.  They'll be there soon!]
* Montana is forever thankful for his armor.
<@Brett> [He's not doing so hot, though.]
<Nigel> (Are they close enough for me to shoot yet? If not I'll just cut cables
again)
<@Brett> ( Not yet. But next round they will be. )
<Nigel> (How many lines are there?)
<@Brett> ( 7 more )
<@Brett> ( Wait )
<@Brett> ( 9 more. My bad )
<Nigel> (How close together are they? Could I take a penalty or something to try
to cut two at once?)
<@Brett> ( Nah, they're too thick. You'd need a miracle (or crit) to cut more
than one. )
<Nigel> (Okay)
* Nigel turns and slices at another of those lines!
<Nigel> 2d6+6
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Nigel and gets a natural 10 for a result of 16.
<@Brett> [Nigel cuts through the line, and the man drops into the ocean.
<@Brett> [Ship 2, 3, 4 and the Abercrombie crew exchange fire! And I need a
defense roll from Gordo]
<Gordo> 2d6+5
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 5 for a result of 10.
<@Brett> [Gordo easily takes cover before a pirate shoots his eye out.]
<Gordo> (Good, if I got an eye patch I might have to switch sides.)
<@Brett> [And the zipliners get closer!]
<@Brett> [Gordo's turn]
* Gordo turns his gun onto the guys on the ziplines!
<Gordo> 2 2d6+7
* Dicesuke rolls 2 2d6+7 for Gordo and gets a natural ( 8 11 ) for a result of (
15 18 ).
<@Brett> [And Gordo shoots two of the guys off the lines.]
<@Brett> [Shiho!]
* Shiho cuts at one of the lines that still has a guy on it.
<Shiho> 2d6+8
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+8 for Shiho and gets a natural 7 for a result of 15.
<@Brett> [And another guy drops into the ocean. 5 left!]
<@Brett> [Montana!]
* Montana fires at a zipliner, a little more mindful of his own surroundings
this time.
<Montana> (Same peanlty?)
<@Brett> ( Yeah )
<Montana> 2d6+4
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+4 for Montana and gets a natural 7 for a result of 11.
<@Brett> ( Er wait. )
<@Brett> ( Should be lower now, they're closer )
<Montana> (Probably a -1 then, so make it a 13. ^^)
<@Brett> ( We'll say they're like 20 meters away )
<@Brett> [Montana hits a man, and he falls into the sea!]
<@Brett> [Sonia!]
<Sonia> (Do I get to a boat to plant an explosive trap?)
<@Brett> ( Yep )
<Sonia> (THEN I WILL DO SO.)
* Sonia can be seen in the distance, for those looking, but not swimming.
Rather, she's driving a silvery boat along the choppy inter-boat waters,
skimming right up near one of the edges and appearing to just about hit the boat
with a swing of her arm. Ish.
<@Brett> [Shortly after there's a loud boom! And the boat has a hole in it. And
a lot of panicky pirates.]]
<@Brett> 3 d5
* Dicesuke rolls 3 1d5 for Brett and gets a natural ( 3 5 5 ) for a result of (
3 5 5 ).
* Sonia comms, "Tell 'em the explosions will continue until they break the hell
off.~
<@Brett> [And apparently the pirates took note, because several the pirates open
up on Sonia.]
<@Brett> ( 2 def rolls from Sonia, one from Nigel )
<Sonia> 2d6+6
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Sonia and gets a natural 7 for a result of 13.
<Sonia> 2d6+5
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Sonia and gets a natural 3 for a result of 8.
<Sonia> (I am in motion, so there should be speed penalties for them, but.)
<@Brett> ( Looking it up )
<Nigel> 2d6+6
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Nigel and gets a natural 9 for a result of 15.
<Gordo> (You'll want the errata page for 154)
<@Brett> ( Yeah, the one that has me ask if Sonia is running or sprinting x.x )
<@Brett> ( Why it can't just have a table with penalty by kph.... x.x )
<Sonia> (It does in teh errata.)
<Sonia> (100 kph is -1.)
<@Brett> ( Where? )
<Sonia> (I have no idea where to get the errata anymore, I'll put them
upsomewhere.)
<@Brett> ( Alright. Meantime... )
<Gordo> (Used to be here http://guardiansorder.livejournal.com/ )
<@Brett> [Everyone gets missed. Woot?]
<Sonia> ( http://besm.sandwich.net/BESM3_page154.pdf and 168)
<@Brett> [Nigel's up.  And the four men from ship 1 are now on the deck. What
do?]
* Nigel turns towards one of the man and swings at him with his sword.
<Nigel> 2d6+6
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Nigel and gets a natural 7 for a result of 13.
<@Brett> [And no sooner does he get on deck than Nigel cuts him down.]
<@Brett> [The last man from ship 3 makes it on deck while the pirates and
Abercrombie crew exchange fire.  The men of the Abercrombie are wounded and
weary, but so are the pirates. Most of the gunners are out now.]
<Gordo> (Wait, I missed one?)
<@Brett> ( Shiho got 3, you got 2 )
<@Brett> ( That leaves 1. )
<@Brett> [Gordo's turn, though.]
* Gordo shoots that laster gunner twice.
<Gordo> 2 2d6+7
* Dicesuke rolls 2 2d6+7 for Gordo and gets a natural ( 7 7 ) for a result of (
14 14 ).
<@Brett> ( Erm wait )
<@Brett> ( Sorry, by gunners I meant riflemen. I meant one guy from the cables
made it to the ship. )
<Gordo> (Oh.)
* Gordo shoots two of the riflemen instead.
<@Brett> ( Oh right, you already rolled :x )
<@Brett> [Gordo sends them to Davey Jone's locker.]
<@Brett> [Shiho!]
* Shiho redirects her attention to one of the boarders and greets him in her
usual way. By trying to cut him open with her sword.
<Shiho> 2d6+8
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+8 for Shiho and gets a natural 9 for a result of 17.
<@Brett> [Shiho succeeds! And since these pirates are made of paper, he goes
down easy.]
<@Brett> [And that's when there's a cry in an unknwon language, and the boarders
start grinning at each other.  Alysha marches onto the deck, her hands held up. 
She's flanked by two 9 or ten year old boys with assault rifles, one of whom
keeps prodding her in the back.  He shouts again, and Captain Burns turns and
looks in confusion.]
* Montana turns to see that. "Fuck," he says, "Kids? Seriously?"
<@Brett> [Alysha stumbles forward as she's prodded again. "Ugh, they had jet
skies sneak up beside the boat. These two got below deck when no one was
looking."]
<@Brett> [One of the pirates on the ship grins widely. "And fine soldiers they
make, too.  All of you drop your weapons, or I'll have them kill her."]
<@Brett> ( Out of init, by the way. At least for the moment :o )
<@Brett> ( And by killing init, I seem to have killed the game. :| )
* Gordo holds up his rifle. "Let's not do anything hasty."
<Montana> (I think some people are figuring out what to do.)
* Montana holds his gun up, then slowly and obviously puts it on the ground.
<Sonia> (La la la, I'm not on the ship.)
<@Brett> [The crew look at each other, then the captain.  The Captain himself
looks down, eyes hidden behind his cap.]
<Sonia> (La la la, explosions in the distance.)
<Montana> (Hahaha XD)
<@Brett> ["Well?" The spokesman says.]
<@Brett> ( Is Sonia still blowing things up? :P )
<Sonia> (Well, yes, nobody told her to stop.)
<Montana> (I don't think she even knows this is happening.)
<@Brett> [Another ship explodes, and the man glances thataway, then towards the
captain. "Tell your man out there to stop, or else."]
* Nigel makes muttering sounds in japanese like he's cursing.
<@Brett> [Alysha says something, as well, also in a language most of you don't
recognize.]
* Gordo takes a hand off his gun and comms. ~ Oi, Sonia they've got the boss
hostage.~
* Sonia comms back, ~Well, okay, sure.~
<@Brett> [Then she says something else. And the man glares at her. "Shut her
up."]
* Shiho says slowly, in English," Whatever you say, boss," and acts like she's
going to lower her sword.
<Sonia> (Also, Brett, I'm going to put them on as traps and not detonate them
immediately from now on, then.)
<Sonia> (I can make hostages too.)
<@Brett> ( Okay )
<Sonia> (I'm glad I have the Trap modifier on some of those. Heh.)
<@Brett> [~Sonia,~ Alysha says, in English.]
<@Brett> [She has a defeated look, and the man grins widely.  Then Alysha
matches that grin with one of her own. ~Blow them the fuck up.~ And she drops to
the floor, her captors momentarily shocked.]]
* Nigel fires a crossbow bolt at the kid on Alysha's left.
* Shiho darts in to stab the shit out of the kid on Alysha's right.
<Nigel> (You want attack rolls?)
<@Brett> ( Yep )
<Shiho> 2d6+8
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+8 for Shiho and gets a natural 4 for a result of 12.
<Nigel> (I am full attacking then. Because I am sure as shit not missing)
<Nigel> 2d6+10
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+10 for Nigel and gets a natural 8 for a result of 18.
* Gordo laughs and shoots the guy who was doing all the talking.
<Gordo> 2d6+7
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Gordo and gets a natural 3 for a result of 10.
<Gordo> (DR)
<Gordo> 2d6+7
* Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Gordo and gets a natural 9 for a result of 16.
<@Brett> [Shiho stabs the kid in the gut. He gurgles over his own blood then
falls to the ground.  Nigel hits the other kid in the shoulder with a crossbow
bolt, and he drops his gun and screams, hand covering the wound.  The speaker
for the pirates starts to issue an order to his men, but then Gordo puts a
bullet in his head.]
<@Brett> [Which leaves 3 guys still on board, panicked expressions on their
face, and the men on the ships, who are getting ready to exchange fire again.]
<Gordo> (And then Sonia blows up the rest of their boats hella sweet)
<@Brett> ( Unless she does that... o/~ )
<@Brett> ( Which would be pretty dramatic o/~ )
* Sonia listens to orders, then, and triggers her planted traps, then! Hopefully
she got both of them.
<@Brett> [Sonia managed to get two of the ships, which explode in spectacular
fashion.  The guys on the last boat take one look at what's left of their fleet,
and drop their weapons.  Same with the three remaining pirates on board the
Abercrombie.]
* Nigel nods. "Next time... bring dark gods..."
* Montana scoops his gun off the deck before putting a hand to his comm. ~Nice
work, darlin'.~
<@Brett> [The crew of the Abercrombie cheer. "Hurrah! Hurrah!" Or at least
that's what they'd have said 400 years ago. Instead it's just incoherent
howling.]
* Nigel moves over to Alysha. "Are you okay, Miss Johnson?"
<Shiho> ~Great job, everyone.~
* Sonia replies, ~Been practicing putting shit on a ship for a few days, boy.
Rarely get to dance in the waves, though.~ Montana can probably tell she's at
least slightly pleased.
<@Brett> [Alysha gets up from her position on the ground, grinning at Nigel.
"Never better.  I have to be honest, though, I was a bit scared you weren't
going to be able to shoot a kid."]
* Gordo makes his way over to the captain. "We've a brig?"
* Nigel shrugs. "Kid was a pirate."
<@Brett> [The captain shakes his head. "Nope, but we can make one."]
* Montana doesn't look at the kids, or whatever. He just goes to collect weapons
from the pirates.
* Shiho stands near the surrendered pirates with her sword out. "Anyone have zip
ties or rope I can use?"
<@Brett> [Alysha nods.  "It's a problem in Africa. Still, you saved my life. 
Being killed by a nine year old would have been embaressing." She looks at the
kid still screaming with a crossbow bolt in his arm. "I suppose we should get
him some first aid."]
<@Brett> [Captain Burns nods at Shiho. "We've got some in storage." He motions
at some of the crew to go get it.]
* Gordo nods and starts helping fish pirates that survived the drop out of the
sea.
<@Brett> [Meanwhile other members of the crew are getting first aid kits or
tending to the wounded.]
<Gordo> (AFK feeding cats)
<@Brett> ( cats nuuuuuu )
* Nigel nods. "That is my job, Miss Johnson. And... oddly enough, it looks like
we had the same plan... You sure -you're- not psychic?"
<@Brett> [Montana gains weapons! AK-47s, in fact. Old, old guns. But still
plentiful.
<@Brett> ]
<@Brett> [Alysha answers Nigel with a grin, then looks past him to the Captain.
"So what do we do with them?"]
<@Brett> ["Make a stop in South Africa," says Abraham. "I don't wanna deal with
the Mozambique government, and technically these are international waters. That
makes them international criminals."]
* Nigel smiles and steps away, letting Alysha deal with the Captain while he
walks over to Shiho. "Really glad I learned Japanese now."
<Gordo> (back)
<@Brett> ( Yay )
<@Brett> ( Though I think we can end when you guys are ready. I don't have much
else to do at this point )
* Montana hands the guns off to people who take care of confiscated goods,
because he can't carry them all day, and looks around, taking stock as he
adjusts the hat on his head.
* Shiho is tying people up. "Good language skills tend to be helpful in a
variety of situations."
<@Brett> [The guns look over 100 years old!]
* Nigel nods and grabs some of the rope and helps Shiho tie people up.
<@Brett> [Apparently some members of the crew are trained in first aid, as they
bandage others up. One offers to help Montana. It'd be nice if it was a sexy
redheadded woman, but it's actually a burly dark-haired man.]
* Montana blinks. "Oh, yeah. Thanks." He shifts, peeling layers of clothes and
armor so he can actually be effectively bandaged.
<@Brett> [He disinfects the wounds and bandages Montana up, informing him he's
lucky to be alive.]
* Montana informs the man that he can certainly appreciates all the luck he's
got.
<@Brett> ( So if no one else has anything to say, I'm ending it. )
<Nigel> (Go ahead)
<Gordo> (Sorry, I'm pretty out of it.)
<@Brett> [Session be Ended!]
