http://gryphon.sandwich.net/logs/psMC4charswereevil.txt <@Brett> [Date: Saturday, April 23rd. Time: 9:30 p.m. probably. I forgot] <@Brett> [You're on a boat! You found the kidnapped Tilda in the dining hall, only to discover it was a trap by the flamey shapeshifter, Leonard Warwick, who seemed ready for a showdown. Then Sonia blew a hole in the floor and he fell to the lower deck. <@Brett> Afterwards, Sonia and Montana got sprayed by acid, and Montana decided to jump down the ho'. The rest of you are standing in a burning dining room, with a ship full of guards with acid guns alerted to your presence.] <@Brett> [Start!] 2d6+10 * Diceroshi rolls 2d6+10 for Montana and gets a natural 9 for a result of 19. * Sonia 's left arm is now disabled, apparently. It's great, probably. * Sonia asks, ~So where is Tilda, really?~ ~I think it's down the hole, or we'll 'ave ta fight the lot of 'em here.~ ~That just gets us trapped.~ * Sonia inspects her own arm. ~We need to get out. Maybe even with the girl.~ ~You alive down there Monty?~ <@Brett> [Sonia might not feel pain, but her arm doesn't look very good. Bits of artificial skin are missing and revealing corroded steel beneath.] * WeightofTaki is now known as Gordo (also, it's apparently not working) (Ahaha) (took you a while to recognize it) (I R SMRT) <@Brett> [Montana seems unresponsive at the moment.] 2d6+10 * Diceroshi rolls 2d6+10 for Montana and gets a natural 10 for a result of 20. <@Brett> [What's more, the dining room, being made of wood and other flammable substances, is on fire.] Bolloxs. If he can't come up, and we can't go down, we may 'ave ta leave him there. And that's no a decision I want ta make. * Sonia says, ~Boy knows how to stay hidden. We don't. Let's start moving.~ * Shiho murmurs, "On the bright side, being in the ocean, the fire won't spread once the ship's burned down." ~Right. Pick a door Ma'am.~ * Dreol (Dreol@50-83-68-125.client.mchsi.com) Quit (Ping timeout) (Uh, do we have a lot of door options?) * Montana (ardweden@50-83-68-125.client.mchsi.com) Quit (Ping timeout) (At least two on the top and at least two on the bottom plus the hole in the floor.) (jesus.) * Dreol (Dreol@50-83-68-125.client.mchsi.com) has joined #mc5 ~You see the hallway clear? We should move down it, then.~ (Dre: You okay? Welcome back?) * Gordo checks. ~Nobody here yet.~ (I think that was an auto-reconnect) (Ah okay) <@Brett> ( As Gordo said. ) <@Brett> ( Pausing a bit til they get fully back ) (Dre's asleep.) * Ardweden (ardweden@50-83-68-125.client.mchsi.com) has joined #mc5 <@Brett> ( Eating some Pepero ) <@Brett> ( Ah? ) * Ardweden is now known as Montana (He told you three times that he wasn't feeling well and was going to bed. o_o) <@Brett> ( I was off getting pizza :| ) <@Brett> [Anyhow Nigel was there, too.] <@Brett> ( Problem solved. ) <@Brett> ( There's 3 doors actually. ) <@Brett> ( The one you came through on the upper deck, and left and right on the lower one ) (Oh, then it's probably better to take a new door.) * Montana comms: "Tilda ain't on the ship. They're looking for her in town. Nyssa's goin' after some 'Indian bitch'." * Gordo perks up immensly. ~Yer alive!~ * Montana comms back, ~Ain't suicidal, Gordo. Let's get offa this ship. Warwick might be headin' back to ya; he drugged himself up.~ * Sonia frowns. ~What kinda Indian? P--Ice is from India. Let's get out of here.~ * Gordo runs down the stairs as dropping from balconies is not a thing he plans to do if he can help it. * Shiho heads down with Gordo. <@Brett> [You go down into the burning dining room. Good choice, because parts of the balcony crackle and fall.] ~I agree it's time ta be elsewheres. Left door?~ * Sonia heads towards one of the doors. Left, sure! ~Second I get above the water line, I am out of here. Get up to the surface in a hurry, Monty.~ * Montana comms, ~Movin'.~ * Gordo heads for the doors too. <@Brett> [You head out the door! It opens into a hallway. To your right you can see stairs leading up. The bad news is there's a small security bot in the way. "*Beep! Neutralizing targets*] <@Brett> ( Gimme init rolls :D ) 2d6+11 * Diceroshi rolls 2d6+11 for Shiho and gets a natural 5 for a result of 16. 2d6+5 * Diceroshi rolls 2d6+5 for Sonia and gets a natural 9 for a result of 14. 2d6+6 * Diceroshi rolls 2d6+6 for Gordo and gets a natural 5 for a result of 11. (Oh, whups that's +7 for a 12) <@Brett> [Shiho!] <@Brett> ( Y'all beat the bot ) * Shiho draws her sword while she's running and swings at the bot with the intention of creating bot bits. (Part of a delicious and neutricious breakfast!) 2d6+10 * Diceroshi rolls 2d6+10 for Shiho and gets a natural 12 for a result of 22. <@Brett> ( Huh ) (BOT BITS) (Nice!) <@Brett> [Shiho slices the bot in half. "ERROR! ERRORrrrrrrrrr----*"] * Shiho continues running without letting some dumb robot slow her down. Good one! <@Brett> [Srsly that's it. It lies there in two chunks, sparking.] Hah, thanks! * Sonia continues after them as well. She takes the opportunity to grab half of the bot for spare parts as she goes. You never know when you'll need more stuff. * Gordo runs past. (Haha, you guys are amazing. XD) <@Brett> [It's good quality stuff, too! You run up to the top deck, Where the corridor promptly turns inwards again.] 2d6+10 * Diceroshi rolls 2d6+10 for Montana and gets a natural 11 for a result of 21. <@Brett> [That corridor leads to a large set of doors, that lead out onto deck. But in front of them are two guards. They don't seem to have noticed you yet, though.] (You know what you must do Shiho!) * Shiho pulls out her sword to turn them into... guard bits? (I get a free attack on one?) <@Brett> ( Sure do! ) 2d6+10 * Diceroshi rolls 2d6+10 for Shiho and gets a natural 11 for a result of 21. <@Brett> ( Just 'cause this isn't supposed to take all night :P ) (No deff roll for getting taken by surprize.) <@Brett> [By the time they've noticed Shiho, she's cut the arm off one of them. Ouch. Yet he doesn't seem to be in terrible pain. Come to think of it, neither were the other guards. huh.] <@Brett> [Anyhow, same inits as before. Shiho's first.] * Shiho tries to take the same guy down. 2d6+10 * Diceroshi rolls 2d6+10 for Shiho and gets a natural 10 for a result of 20. <@Brett> [Shiho succeeds. The other guy brings his gun up, but not before Sonia has a chance to attack.] * Sonia swings around her metal-wrapped fist at the guy as she runs. It's holding the remnants of a bot, but that probably won't make it LESS effective. (full attack) 2d6+9 * Diceroshi rolls 2d6+9 for Sonia and gets a natural 9 for a result of 18. <@Brett> [Sonia socks the guy in the face. He staggers, but his headgear absorbs enough damage that he manages to keep his footing.] <@Brett> [Gordo!] * Gordo shoots the guard(?) who's still standing. He's like the team sweeper. 2d6+7 * Diceroshi rolls 2d6+7 for Gordo and gets a natural 6 for a result of 13. (Twice) 2d6+7 * Diceroshi rolls 2d6+7 for Gordo and gets a natural 11 for a result of 18. <@Brett> [It's a good thing he shot twice, because Gordo missed the first time. But the second bullet brings the guy down.] <@Brett> [And then Montana was there too!] * Montana comes up from behind. "Evenin'," he says, still moving ahead. Welcome back. Good ta see you 'gain. * Montana might grin, but it's hard to see. Still, warmth in his voice: "Good ta be back. Let's move." He does just that. * Sonia doesn't need to be told once. She's movin' on up. To the deckside. <@Brett> [You head up to the deck! It's much like you left it. But fewer guards.] * Gordo triese to be sneaky-like as he head for the railing, so they can get down to the Dreamer and out of here. * Sonia comms, lowly, ~I'll get the boat ready.~ Then she runs towards the side and just jumps, not for distance, as the armor suit folds off of her into boat form. YEAH BOAT. * Montana runs, too, for BOAT. <@Brett> [A wild boat appears!] (I waste it with my crossbow!) <@Brett> ( It dies. You're stuck on the ship ) * Gordo straps his guns down tight and then jumps off into the water. * Sonia lands in the boat, and says under her breath, "Yeah, you are." <@Brett> [Gordo gets wet. <@Brett> ] * Gordo swims to the boat. * Shiho follows the same path as Gordo - water, then boat - since it seems the way that is less likely to result in her injuring herself. <@Brett> [Y'all make it on the boat.] * Sonia starts the boat up and turns it towards the mainland. "Damn her. help for once in her damn life." <@Brett> [Zoom! You head towards the mainland.] <@Brett> [The good news is, you made it out alive! The bad news is.... well, now what?] (Gordo plans to go back to his hotel room and disassemble/dry out his guns while we come up with a new plan. And maybe Sonia comes up with her frenimies phone number.) (WEll, we know they're also looking for Tilda.) (It's true. They're after Ice and Tilda.) (Do we have contact info for a real Tilda?) <@Brett> ( That is a question ) <@Brett> ( Let's ask Monty! ) (Do I?) <@Brett> ( you ought to discuss it in game :P ) (I know, but if I'm going to be asking you anyway, Brett. XP) * Sonia turns to look at her arm more carefully with gritted teeth. Dreamer can drive. For a moment or three, anyway. "They'll have to hit pretty hard to pin Ice down." Yeah. Any idea where she is? * Montana pulls his phone out from a compartment and starts messing with it. "Think I got a contact for Tilda somewhere in here..." With a bit luck we've just burnt their base to the waterline so they'll have ta call it all off. * Sonia sighs and shakes her head. "I ain't gonna be able to convince her." <@Brett> [On further observation, Sonia's arm isn't that badly damaged. No critical components were hit, and she should be able to make it functional with a little repair work. Getting new skin grafts, on the other hand... not so readily available. <@Brett> ] * Sonia will get some repairwork on, at least. So she looks like a freak, just another Tuesday. * Montana dials someone. Possibly Tilda. He puts the phone to his ear. * Shiho pulls out her phone and winces at the water dripping from it. (The hole in your arm matches the holes in your eyes!) (my eyes are fine) <@Brett> ( Who's Shiho calling? Or is she just checking to see if her phone logged the water. I mean, is waterlogged. ) * Gordo pulls out his tablet. "Let's see if that ten meters of water resistance was a truth." <@Brett> [It's probably fine. They make better phones in TEH FUTURE.] (Checking the water logs.) * Montana speaks into his phone. "Yeah, well, this is kinda an emergency. Remember those assholes that tried ta take the statuette from both of us?" * Montana rolls his eyes behind his mask. "No. They convinced us that they had ya prisoner on that ship 'a theirs, though, an' I got hit by some acid that ate right through my goddamn suit." "It was a distraction. They're lookin' for ya." * Montana moves the phone away, and a screeching noice can be heard over it. * Montana waits until that's over and puts it back to his ear. "Yup. Yer partner, actually." "Huh. He's way worse at pretendin' ta be you. Anyway, figured I'd give you the heads up. Lemme know if you need back up, all right?" * Gordo starts to fidget in his wet, uncomfortable clothes. (Gordo's on a boat!) * Shiho takes her phone apart to make sure the inside's not messed up. <@Brett> ( Mmmm..... ) <@Brett> ( This is really mean but... ) (?) <@Brett> ( Nah, I won't. It's too mean :P ) (Yay?) (...Shiho ruins her phone by opening it?) <@Brett> [Shiho's phone seems fine! Yay for technology.] * Montana snorts. "Pretty sure you can afford yer own dinner," he says, vaguely amused, and then hangs up. "She's fine," he tells the others, "but that wasn't no Natsuki that ran into us." * Shiho sighs and puts it back together. * Sonia frowns a touch, then says, "Makes sense." Ugh. Tryn' ta plan around a shapeshifter's a pain. Yeah. So first, we should probably check where she was. See if there's any damage. * Montana scratches at the bottom of his mask, thinking. "... there was another boat durin' the scout. Probably it." (I need to get medicine for Dre.) (Oh dear. Just how bad is he feeling?) <@Brett> ( Yikes ) (Pretty bad. Mind if I AFK to do that?) <@Brett> ( Go ahead. I don't think this will go much longer anyhow ) (Drive safe.) (Okay! Back after regardless!) <@Brett> ( In fact, do you guys just want to end here? ) (Might be a good idea.) <@Brett> ( Alright. ) <@Brett> [And then they got back to Hong Kong.] <@Brett> [End]
