<@Brett> [Date: ? Time: ? Location: "Pandemonium". Apparently.] <@Brett> [The last thing that made sense: You were fighting a guy who turns himself into shadow (or possibly is made of shadow) at the diamond mine in eastern Zakanar, when he shoved Alysha into a portal. So naturally you went after her.] <@Brett> [Next you knew Shiho and Montana were travelling via pickles, Sonia missed out on hot lovin' with a stud and Gordo was cleaning the rooms and cross-dressing at the same time. You also came across Natascha, the MMO lady who's tried to kill you on certain occasions before. But apparently you're taking a break from that while you're in here because she knows how to navigate the place.] <@Brett> [Indeed, she leads you from the hotel to an upside down Oval Office to some greasy guy's autoshop to a Van Couver set piece.] <@Brett> [And then to a movie theatre, which is completely empty save for one person, Nigel, who's watching a fascinating (for him, anyway) documentary about the 72 demons of the Lesser Key of Solomon. He doesn't seem to realize he's wearing jeans and a T-shirt under a tan jacket, as well as a tan cowboy hat. And he seems to have stolen Montana's stubble.] <@Brett> [Start!] (it's gettin' sexy up in here) * @Shiho snaps and points at Nigel's face. "Found your almost-beard."

* Shiho sets mode: -o Shiho (That's right! Who's the master thief, now? Nigel stole Montana's stubble. That's like some Carmen Sandiego shit.) (Sibling rivalry at its worst) * Montana snorts. "Didn't know he could grow one. Hey!" he calls, trying to break Nigel's attention. Now, if we coul just find my pants, or a real kilt. * Nigel looks back from the movie. "Hm? Ah? Cheers?" He stands up and his eyes land on Gordo. "What the bloody hell are you wearing?" * Sonia frowns a touch as she looks around. "Just live with it." * Gordo deadpans. "A joke." Could be askin' you the same thing. You stole my stubble. <@Brett> [Natascha is glancing at the exits. She picks one: The emergency exit at the front of the theatre. "If you're done..."] * Nigel looks down and his eyes widen. "Huh.." his hand moves to his face? "Well that's bloody weird, that is." Short version, we're in not quite Hell. Natascha here knows the way out, a' sorts. Still haven't found the boss lady or an explination for the outfits. * Nigel shrugs and follows Natascha? "So have you folks figured out where we are yet?" (Swap those?) (Yeah.) * Nigel nods and smirks. "Brilliant?" * Shiho smooths out her skirt at the mention of the outfits. She's barefoot and still wearing a fancy, low-cut dress with a corset, though the skirt of it's been torn to let her move around. * Nigel looks over to Shiho? "Would you um? like some shoes, Shiho?" He tries very hard to not stare anywhere inappropriate. * Montana is still in a tuxedo, with a hat. And clean shaven. Well, at least he cleans up nicely. His clothing has not been torn up! And his shoes are super shiny. * Sonia looks like she goes fast. Her car is missing, and she's still idly twirling her helmet on her hand. * Shiho ignores Nigel trying not to stare at her chest/legs/whatever he considers inappropriate. "I'm fine, thanks." * Sonia also heads Natascha's way. (ankles) <@Brett> ( Her ears, obviously. ) * Gordo goes thata way. <@Brett> ( :o ) * Nigel nods. "Okay? I could at least give you my socks or something if you wanted. I mean barefoot in hell, while a great title for a novel, does not sound particularly fun." (Damn her sexy ears, enticing people everywhere) (Right?) (They're really nice ears, okay.) (If you've got a thing for attached earlobes anyway.) I'd probably just slip, I'll be okay. <@Brett> [Natascha opens the door. Presumably you follow her into a peculiar castle that's something like an M.C. Escher painting. Hilarious hijinks ensue as you all get lost in a maze of perception before eventually getting back together and follow her to the next area, some sort of garden with a well in it.] * Nigel nods. "Well? if you change your mind?" He continues on... (Swap those!) * Montana at least didn't lose his new hat in the maze! It was close once or twice. Ugh. I'm nae cut out for the space progam. Down has ta pick a direction. Yeeeah, let's not do that again. <@Brett> [Natascha steps towards the well. "This is the exit. In a matter of speaking. Beyond lies Hell. If you want to turn back, now's the time." She smirks. "Of course, that means dooming your kiddie-boss."] * Montana shrugs, not looking especially bothered by the thought of Alysha's untimely demise. "Where else's there to go to?" he asks. * Gordo walks over to the well and looks in. "There's the matter of pride, an' paychecks." Is there anything else we need to know before we go in? * Nigel shrugs. "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate." He smiles? ("Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here" that is, but in the original Italian. Nigel would use the original italian.) (Yeah, I recognized it. Too much Dante.) (Haha) <@Brett> [Natascha grins. "Try not to attract attention." Then she jumps into the well.] * Shiho follows after. * Nigel jumps in after. Fat chance'a that. * Montana peers in the well, hesitating. * Gordo shrungs and then, jumps in as well, using a hand to keep the front of his skirt down so he can see where he's falling. * Sonia looks over at Montana not jumping in, then says, "What you 'fraid of, boy? You wanna go back through the garden that ain't?" No, I just... * Sonia smirks a little. "Got so much to live for?" * Montana laughs at that. "No." He looks over at Sonia. "It's just there ain't no other way *to* go." Maybe I'm makin' a choice where there ain't none. * Sonia shrugs a little, then gestures idly at the well. "Yeah... we both know this ain't our thing. But there it is." * Montana frowns at the well. "Yeah." You think that really goes to Hell? Like... Hell Hell? That's what everyone's sayin'. I mean, the one chick jumped in. It can't be that bad. Who fucking knows? 's not like she's givin' us the all clear signal. * Sonia is silent a moment, then sighs and says, "Like you said. Ain't got much of a choice. C'mon, boy." <@Brett> ( Should I start another channel? :P ) * Sonia hops the well and jumps in. (You could have, but we're doing this instead!) <@Brett> ( K ) * Montana watches Sonia jump in, sighs and removes his hat to wipe at his forehead, and then puts it back on his head. * Montana jumps in afterwards. <@Brett> [You jump in da hol. Surprisingly you don't splatter on anything. Instead you get spit out of a portal sideways, and everyone lands in a big heap. And now you're in Hell! ... maybe? It doesn't look like hell, other than it's red. Very red. You're on a plain with knee-height red grass everywhere, across rolling hills. Red rocks and red, leafless trees dot the landscape. The sky's red, too, as <@Brett> if the area's locked in dust.] (Do Montana and Sonia end up there when everyone else does, or is there time lag?) <@Brett> [There's a time lag! It lasts just long enough for Shiho, Nigel and Gordo to begin to untangle themselves before Montana and Sonia plow into them.] * Shiho oofs. * Nigel scrambles to his feet and looks around, nodding? * Montana tries rolling off the others and getting to his feet. It's easiest for him because he got there last. "Uh." He picks up his hat, dusting it off. "I expected it to be warmer? Or colder, maybe." Augh! Stop stepping on my bloody wounds! (Are we back in our normal stuff?) (And is my car there?) 2d6+12 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+12 for Nigel and gets a natural 7 for a result of 19. (Megan just came home with a 4 hour old puppy with 3 legs.) (Aww, puppy. :() <@Brett> [You are indeed back to your old selves. And yes, Sonia's car is there.] <@Brett> [As for Natascha, how she got so far away when (some of) you jumped in just after her is anyone's guess, but she somehow got about 40 ft away. On one of those rocks. On a hill. And she has her gun out in one hand. Her other is wrapped around Alysha's neck, who, despite struggling and kicking, doesn't seem to be giving Natascha a hard time at all. Natascha laughs and shouts. "Look who I found!"] * Nigel looks around momentarily and appears about to say something before spotting Natascha and drawing his crossbow. * Sonia has her car wrapped around her, and says, very flatly, "Good for you." * Montana blinks at his hat, realizing it's ACTUALLY his hat, and then looks up and- what. What the fuck. The gun is out, although he's not aiming it at her yet. (Did wasserface Alysha's friend in the cheerlearder outfit jump in the portal with us, and does she still have my pistol?) <@Brett> ( She did and she does. And she's not there. ) (Check) * Shiho mutters nastily. <@Brett> ["It was fun working with you!" Natascha shouts. "But I've got an appointment to keep!"] * Gordo resists the urge to use his riffle as an aid to get back to his feet. "Thanks, very kindly. Now let'r go." * Shiho puts a hand on her sword but doesn't draw it. "I will cut you in -half-." <@Brett> ["Of course, comrade. If I were to bring her with me, she wouldn't be much use as a distraction, would she? I need her to stay here. And scream." And with that, Alysha howls as Natascha shoots her in the side. As soon as she does she turns and starts running over the crest of the hill, leaving Alysha to slip off the rock and onto the grass below. Which is shorter there, so you can see her curl <@Brett> up and clutch at her wound.] <@Brett> ( And if you guys want to make attack rolls, you've got time for one before she's gone from sight ) <@Brett> ( She does have a cover bonus though ) (Sec while I check mods) * Shiho runs to Alysha without attacking. "Boss!" <@Brett> ( Also gimme hearing checks. Sonia at a -4. Yes, -4. Because you'll find out ) * Montana takes off after the woman, running as fast as he can and firing as he goes. Because he can run pretty damn fast. (Suuuure? I will called shot at her leg? What's the penalty on that?( (-4 penalty, or -4 bonus?) (Okay, shooting at Natascha +3 for full attack -3 for cover) 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural 8 for a result of 15. 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Gordo and gets a natural 11 for a result of 18. <@Brett> ( if he doesn;t have steady hand, there's a penalty on that Monty ) (Seriously, um, Montana's got Fast and body 6, if that counts for anything on keeping pace.) 2d6+3 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+3 for Nigel and gets a natural 4 for a result of 7. <@Brett> ( Prob -4 normally, but her legs are pretty much hidden behind the hill. ) (Also, he does.) (That was hearing) This next one's the hearing check) <@Brett> ( She was 50 ft away, remember, and there's a hill between you. ) (Just shoot at her normally then.) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 9 for a result of 14. 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Nigel and gets a natural 3 for a result of 10. 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Sonia and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14. (apply that -4 appropriately, Brett.) (Full attack because obviously.) 2d6+10 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+10 for Montana and gets a natural 6 for a result of 16. <@Brett> ( sorry, looking up rules @_@ ) (Hearing:) 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 2 and a modified 8, a CRITICAL FAILURE! "Excellent! We've been looking for a test subject. Hold on to this horseshoe and penny while I alert the Leprechaun Entrapment Brigade, we'll have you fixed in no time..." (Um... okay, I don't hear anything! Moving onward, seeing if I can keep up!) <@Brett> [As she vanishes over the hill, Natascha stumbles, probably hit by either Gordo or Montana, hard to tell which. (Though actually it was Gordo). Montana races up the hill after her, but stumbles a bit when he hears the sound of gunfire and for a split second thinks it's Natascha firing back at him (it's not).] * Montana falters briefly, glancing, but then keeps racing after her. * Nigel runs after Alysha after taking his shot. <@Brett> ( Um. I don't see Fast on Montana's sheet ) * Gordo limps down to where Alysha landed. <@Brett> ( I'm trying to figure out whether he's faster than Shiho or not @_@ ) * Sonia advances forward, but doesn't join in the barrage of fire, instead looking around carefully. You never know when hell is gonna be, well, hell. <@Brett> ( Oh. Shiho has fast, so he's not :P ) (We both have fast.) (So it comes down to who has the higher body score, better traction, whatever.) (Did you send him the wrong char sheet?) <@Brett> [Shiho reaches Alysha first. She discovers the girl lying curled in a ball, clutching her right side. "... Hurts," she mumbles.] (... me?) (Yeah, he's saying he can't find fast on it.) <@Brett> ( Oh, it's under the suit. Nevermind ) (Aha) * Shiho kneels down next to Alysha and strips her shirt to press it against the wound. "It's fine, you'll be fine." <@Brett> ( Shiho's shirt or Alysha's? :P ) (Shiho's. She's wearing a black sports bra underneath, I should probably mention.) (Where is the wound again?) <@Brett> [Montana reaches the top of the hill as well, seeing Natascha a good distance away already, racing towards a small canyon between two hills across a field beyond.] (Ah her right side okay) <@Brett> ( Right side near the stomach. ) * Montana jumps after her, clearing the way down the hill faster than he could run it and keeps with the chase. * Gordo asks Shiho. "She going to be alrigh?" * Nigel rips his tie off as he approaches Shiho and Alysha and then tosses it to Shiho. "Tie it on with this." <@Brett> [So you'd think! But Montana only takes a few steps before a monster bursts out of the ground directly in front of him! It's made of white stone, hunched like a gorilla with arms longer than legs, and its head is shaped like a demon's, a yellow glow coming from its eyes and mouth. It howls unintelligably.] <@Brett> ( Init time :D ) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Sonia and gets a natural 7 for a result of 12. 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Gordo and gets a natural 8 for a result of 15. * Shiho grabs the tie and starts tying the shirt to Shiho. "Of course she will," she says, but it sounds like it's more for Alysha's benefit than anything else. (Self bondage. Nicely done.) 2d6+11 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+11 for Shiho and gets a natural 9 for a result of 20. 2d6+8 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+8 for Montana and gets a natural 3 for a result of 11. <@Brett> [The wound looks bad. Quite very bad.] Good, I'd bes... Now bloody what? (*Alysha (what a lovely typo)) <@Brett> ( Also Shiho, gimme a first aid roll? ) (haha yeah right) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Shiho and gets a natural 10 for a result of 15. (ty dice) <@Brett> [Shiho patches up Alysha as best she can. Seems she does a decent job for someone with no medical training. But who can tell? (Someone with medical training, probably)] (AFK a bit) <@Brett> ( Need init from Nigel ) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Nigel and gets a natural 4 for a result of 9. (Hang on? Going to pop into the other room and send you these sheets. I thought I had them over here, but these are not the updated versions) <@Brett> ( ok ) <@Brett> [In the meantime, Shiho's turn!] (I'm back) <@Brett> ( wb ) * Shiho finishes with Alysha's 'bandage' and fires at the monster from her current position. 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural 2 and a modified 9, a CRITICAL FAILURE! "Excellent! We've been looking for a test subject. Hold on to this horseshoe and penny while I alert the Leprechaun Entrapment Brigade, we'll have you fixed in no time..." <@Brett> ( @_@ ) <@Brett> [Shiho's gun jams. That keeps happening to you guys.] (You know, I'd totally forgotten tha Gordo has DRs, I never use them.) <@Brett> [Gordo!] * Gordo hopes that normal bullets work on large angry stone things... and that Nigel knows what this is. 2 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2 2d6+7 for Gordo and gets a natural ( 2 6 ) for a result of ( 9 13 ). (... Uhm... I critfailed on that first one.) <@Brett> ( ._. ) <@Brett> [Gordo pulls the trigger twice! Only to discover he didn't realize his gun was out of ammo.] <@Brett> ( Because I can't just keep jamming your guns >.< ) <@Brett> [Sonia!] * Gordo curses his inability to count. 2d6+12 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+12 for Nigel and gets a natural 12 and a modified 24, a CRITICAL SUCCESS! "Ah, then this IS the reality where you're kicking ass. My apologies, I'll amend my notes." (Dicy is swingy today) (how dare you steal our luck) (Noooo kidding.) (Oh sure that I get a crit success on? I better get this thing's biography complete with a list of allergies and turn ons) (thanks for eating my shot) <@Brett> ( It's allergic to Frenchmen and thinks ears are sexy ) (SHIHO) (SEDUCE THE MONSTER) * Sonia levels her gun at the demon and shoots. "Damn fool boy. First he don't wanna jump, then he runs." (I DO HAVE A LEVEL OF SEDUCTION) * Montana glances back at Sonia's words and has the sense to FUCKING DUCK at least. (full attack) 2d6+9 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+9 for Sonia and gets a natural 2 and a modified 11, a CRITICAL FAILURE! "Excellent! We've been looking for a test subject. Hold on to this horseshoe and penny while I alert the Leprechaun Entrapment Brigade, we'll have you fixed in no time..." (OH MY GOD.) (NO STOP THAT) (? I think it's broken) <@Brett> ( I'm running out of ways to handle these >.< ) <@Brett> [Apparently you're not completely back to normal yet, because Sonia's gun fires beans.] <@Brett> [Montana!] * Montana gets hit by one of the beans. Okay... He puts some distance between him and the monster, moving to one side. "How the fuck do you hurt this thing!" he yells at Nigel. (Hold action for Nigel's response.) <@Brett> d5 * Dicesuke rolls 1d5 for Brett and gets a natural 1 and a modified 1, a CRITICAL FAILURE! "We've developed an implantable luck generator you could try, if you aren't using that liver..." (AHAHAHA) <@Brett> [The demon doesn't wait, though. It raises its arms, making as if to crush someone like a gorilla. But instead of coming down, the ground comes up, launching at Gordo in a tidal wave of dirt and stone.] 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 7 for a result of 12. (... That's an average roll. Whut?) <@Brett> [With no time to dodge, the wave plows into Gordo, hurting more than you might think dirt would, as well as bowling him over and getting in his eyes, blinding him.] <@Brett> [Nigel!] <@Brett> ( I just remembered Gordo was previously hurt. And have no idea how much. ) (He got shot twice) (We can't tell you, since that tends to be secret!) (So awkward. ^^; ) * Nigel raises his crossbow. "It's weak in the eyes and mouth!" levels his crossbow at the thing's mouth and fires. <@Brett> ( Yeah, but that doesn't help me with numbers :( ) (His wounds got dressed, too.) (I don't know what the called shot modifier is on a giant mouth) <@Brett> ( -2 ) (And then undressed.) * Montana mutters, "Glowin' areas, right." and also fires at the thing's mouth, as it's roaring and such. 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Nigel and gets a natural 10 for a result of 15. (15 then) <@Brett> ( It's got big yellow Fuck Me Here lights ) (Sec, I forget the modifier reduction chart. *grabs book*) (Uhm, that chart's broken) (You need the errta PDF) <@Brett> ( Send it to me too, then :P ) (And that is where?) http://besmresourcesite.net23.net/3/fmtemplates/downloads3/erratafiles/BESM3_page154.pdf (I reduce penalties by one grade, so...) (-2 is not on here. XD In my book, anyhow. It's -1 or -3.) (Also the pdf is taking forever to load.) (Brett, would you say Dead Eye ignores penalty?) (In this instance?) (As it moves -3 to -1.) <@Brett> ( Looking it up ) <@Brett> ( Ok we'll go with that ) (Okay!) 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Montana and gets a natural 8 for a result of 15. (Sorry that took so long. Carry on.) <@Brett> [Nigel and Montana shoot simultaneously, and the beast reels back, making a sound like Godzilla.] <@Brett> [Shiho] * Shiho keeps talking soothingly to Alysha as she clears her jam. (And that is the turn.) <@Brett> ( "You'll be alright." *BLAMBLAMBLAM!* "It doesn't look that bad." *ROOOAAARGHGIGHGJGHG!* ) <@Brett> [Gordo!] <@Brett> [Shiho clears her jammed pistol.] * Gordo spends one action reloading, and then uses a piece of the rubble he's semiburid in to help line up a shot. <@Brett> [Sonia!] * Sonia no longer has a functional relevant weapon, and so she moves over to Shiho to keep Alysha guarded and says, in a low voice, "Get up in there, bodygirl, she ain't goin' nowhere." <@Brett> [Montana!] <@Brett> [Alysha responds with a grimace.] I. Right. <@Brett> [Montana?] * Montana circles around a bit, getting another shot at the demon's mouth. 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Montana and gets a natural 4 for a result of 11. (If that missed, I'll DR it.) <@Brett> ( Yup thassa miss ) (DR1) 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Montana and gets a natural 6 for a result of 13. (Eh, averageish, I guess I'll take it. ^^) <@Brett> [Montana shoots the creature again. It staggers, shaking it's head. Then it responds by pointing at him with one hand. The rock Alysha fell off of tears itself from the ground and flings itself at Montana.] 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 5 for a result of 11. (DR2!) 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Montana and gets a natural 6 for a result of 12. (PFFT whatever dice. XD) <@Brett> ( @_@ ) (I think Dicy wants the rock demon to win.) <@Brett> [Montana moves quick, unable to fully avoid the rock as it clips his shoulder. But at least he doesn't get crushed by it.] Shit! <@Brett> [Nigel!] * Nigel loads one of his blessed bolts and fires at the demon's mouth again. 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Nigel and gets a natural 5 for a result of 10. (I assume that misses?) (So I'll DR) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Nigel and gets a natural 7 for a result of 12. <@Brett> [Nigel Sends a bolt into the demon's mouth. It shrieks in agony, smoke billowing up from its....... um, mouth.] <@Brett> [Shiho!] * Shiho leaves her gun with Alysha and draws her sword to cut the shit out of the monster as she runs in toward it. 2d6+8 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+8 for Shiho and gets a natural 5 for a result of 13. <@Brett> [Shiho hits the monster! But given that it's made of rock, she doesn't get much penetration.] <@Brett> [Gordo! Who's still blinded] (Shotting the monster+1 for round aiming, +3 total attack, -6 invisable target) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 7 for a result of 12. <@Brett> ( Is it -6 for blind? o.O ) (-6 is a pretty ridiculous penalty.) ("Target is beyond melee range and: Invisible 6) <@Brett> ( It's not invisible ) (Sure as hell is to me!) <@Brett> ( It's only a -1 penalty. ) <@Brett> ( -1 for each level of flare. And it's got 1 :P ) (OH!) (Fuck that noise, called shot to the mouth) 2d6+9 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+9 for Gordo and gets a natural 4 for a result of 13. (DR) 2d6+9 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+9 for Gordo and gets a natural 6 for a result of 15. (... Whatevs dicy) (Bullets for breakfast, bullets for lunch...) (And a normal shot) 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Gordo and gets a natural 5 for a result of 11. <@Brett> [Gordo hits, his high-powered rifle hitting the monster directly in the mouth. His second shot hits as well, though it gets much less penetration through the monster's stone body.] <@Brett> [Sonia!] * Sonia is still unable to do anything effectively, so that's that! She'll keep her ears out. <@Brett> [Should she check, Sonia might discover her bean gun is fixed...] <@Brett> [In the mean time, Montana!] * Montana fires at the monster's mouth again! Third time's the charm. 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Montana and gets a natural 9 for a result of 16. <@Brett> [Montana hits the monster in the mouth! It reels back, smoke still billowing forth from when Nigel shot it. It decides to take a swipe at Shiho, arm sweeping across at her like a giant stone tree trunk.] 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural 3 for a result of 10. (DR) 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Shiho and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14. <@Brett> [Shiho is nearly hit, but manages to flip safely over the arm as it sweeps at her, with acrobatic finery.] <@Brett> [Nigel!] * Nigel loads another blessed bolt and fires it at the creature's mouth! 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Nigel and gets a natural 5 for a result of 10. (Man? DR2) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Nigel and gets a natural 7 for a result of 12. <@Brett> ( I gotta ask... What's with all the question marks? ) (Am I tossing out a bunch of question marks?) (It may be X-Chat) <@Brett> [Nigel shoots the creature in the mouth again. It howls at the sky, large amounts of smoke coming from its mouth.] <@Brett> ( Yeah, tons of 'em ) <@Brett> [Shiho!] (Weird. Yeah. I bet it's XChat) (I don't see anything weird here, but I'm also on a Mac IRC client.) (AFK feeding cats) * Shiho stabs up at, and hopefully into, the monster's mouth. 2d6+6 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+6 for Shiho and gets a natural 11 for a result of 17. <@Brett> [Shiho makes an expert thrust into the creature's mouth. It stumbles back a bit, starting to look tired. As tired as a rock monster can, anyhow.] <@Brett> [Gordo!] (When does flare wear off?) <@Brett> ( This round, actually @_@ ) (Full attack to the mouth) 2d6+8 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+8 for Gordo and gets a natural 11 for a result of 19. (Normal attack to the mouth) 2d6+5 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+5 for Gordo and gets a natural 6 for a result of 11. * Gordo does his best to shoot the rock monster from inside a pile for rocks! <@Brett> [Gordo shoots the monster in the mouth. It stumbles a bit, trying to keep its balance, then collapses into a pile of rocks, the lights in its face dying.] * Montana keeps his gun trained on the demon until those lights are good and dead. <@Brett> [It seems fairly dead.] <@Brett> [Needless to say, Natascha is long gone now.] * Gordo lets his gun slide off the rock. "Medic..." * Nigel puts his crossbow away. "So? as I was about to say when we arrived, this is Orobas' hell? He's a powerful demon. Loyal to Lucifer. Bad news." Uh huh. <@Brett> ( It's your commas. Your commas are coming out question marks. ) (Weird) * Sonia speaks up to ask, "He got a lotta things that sound like eagles in his hell?" <@Brett> [Alysha shivers and coughs. "Sorry guys. I messed this up bad."] * Montana glances back at Alysha and gives her a half-smile. "Good to hear you're alive, ma'am." He climbs up to the top of the hill again, trying to get his bearings. * Shiho hurries back over to Alysha. "She needs actual medical attention." * Nigel shakes his head to Sonia. "Not that I recall? He's usually depicted as a horse." I heard an eagle too, before. When ya get a chance, little help. 2d6+7 * Dicesuke rolls 2d6+7 for Sonia and gets a natural 11 for a result of 18. * Sonia frowns from her crouch on the ground, then says, "We got incoming from the ground. We can't stay here." * Nigel heads over to Shiho and Alysha and sighs? * Montana pulls his mask over his face for any additional sensory information. (Brett, what've I got?) <@Brett> ( A cool hat? ) * Sonia stands and bounds towards Gordo, one of her arms whirring so she can get the rocks off of him as fast as possible. <@Brett> [Montana picks nothing up on Infrared. Or Night Vision for that matter.] <@Brett> [Sonia frees Gordo before long.] * Nigel nods. "Miss Johnson, we need to move you and get somewhere more safe." * Gordo works his way to his feet and starts to check himself over. "We've what we came for, where's out?" <@Brett> [Alysha shivers. "Nigel, you're a good guy.... Sorry I got you involved with this. Sh...Shoulda told you b-before.] (Right, but besides that, he's up on a hill and is trying to see if he can find something for hiding or cover or whatever.) <@Brett> [Montana sees a small canyon between two hills up ahead. Aside from that there's only rolling plains, grass, and the occasional rocks and dead trees.] * Shiho says sharply, "Stop that dying-words crap. You're not going to die in Hell, that's ridiculous." * Nigel shakes his head and grins. "Me? You're apologizing to me? I'm the only one here who has any experience with this stuff. Anyway? save the apologies for later. Let's get you moving, yeah?" He reaches down to lift her up. <@Brett> [Alysha grins, wincing at the same time. "Heh. Always knew I'd end up here eventually."] * Montana points out the canyon. "That's the closest thing remotely resemblin' cover," he says. "And where Natascha ran off to." * Montana jogs back. "She good to move?" he asks of Alysha. * Nigel shakes his head and lifts Alysha and tries to keep her wound pressed against his body to continue to stop the bleeding while he walks towards the canyon. "Let's head that way, then." <@Brett> [Nigel gets blood on his suit.] (Eh? ) <@Brett> ( 'cause she's bleeding :P ) * Sonia says, "We're still down two people. But the guys, uh, in the ground? They're still comin' in fast. Move." (Makes sense? If you don't get blood on your suit in hell, you're doing it wrong) * Montana takes that as a yes, as Nigel does tend to talk by him. He drops his hat on Sonia's head and starts shedding clothes as they go, quickly ending up in just his gray suit with mask and vest. Dude clearly knows how to strip on the go. * Gordo starts limping thataway. "Not m'best idea." <@Brett> [You begin heading towards the canyon, and safety! Hopefully. But between Nigel, burdened with Alysha, and Gordo's injuries, their progress is slowed signifigantly. They're only about halfway across the field when more rock monsters arrive. The same as the one they just fought. But now there's four of them, surrounding them from all sides.] * Gordo looks around, and then starts to reload. "S'been a pleasure ladies, gentlemen." * Montana 's eyes widen behind his mask, and he takes this opportunity to disappear - quite literally. <@Brett> [Then a lightning bolt strikes the ground in front of them, leaving behind a woman, kneeling in the grass. She's caucasian, with a long face and long black hair. Pretty, though not beautiful. She's wearing a tunic that seems white, but shimmers into various colors for brief moments, and sandals strapped up to her knees, and a silvery tiara around her head. She has a short sword at her hip, <@Brett> and carries a full metal spear and a shield. Her weapons have angular grooves carved in the metal, which in itself is a strange shiney light blue. And her shield has an intricately carved lion's head in relief.] <@Brett> [She stands up slowly, then looks at you and grins.] <@Brett> ( Annnd do we want init, or just end? ) (It's pretty late. And I'm invisible!) (Up to you, but yeah. It's late) (It is and you are.) (I vote sleep.) <@Brett> ( Ok ) <@Brett> [WE END HERE]
