[Day: Unknown. Time: Unknown] (Did someone catch the number of that f*****' bus?) ( 8675-309! ) (It was the redline) (Goes from the airport to downtown.) [Wherever you were, you're not there now! Instead, you're in a fairly wide pass between two mountains. The ground is partially barren, partially grassy. It looks like it opens up ahead, but there's a low fog that makes it a little hard to tell. Gawan and describe yerselfs.] [Do stuff!] * Jinx is a young cowboy tossing a pair of dice with a practiced ease in his right hand. Although his hat shields his eyes, he is clearly identifiable as an Injun by his brown skin, his long black hair, which hangs a bit below his shoulders, and the tomahawk on his belt. His worn brown duds are nothing much to look at, aside from an attractive turquoise and silver bracelet, and a few match pieces. [Continued...] While he looks to be quite healthy and fit, he's not at all alluring. his body is covered with far more scars than a person his age should bear, this contributes to an almost palpable sense of risk that surrounds him. However, the man himself, the tomahawk, the shotgun on his back, and the revolver doubtless hiding beneath his jacket, seems no more intimidating than your average gun slinger. (Knew I saved that in the character sheet for something. :P) [You all realize Jinx is an Injun, whatever that is.] * Jinx draws his shotgun and warily scans the area. * Naoki is a bit short, only 5'3. She's got short, dirty-blond hair, and wearing what looks to be old, faded samurai armor. Her eyes are black, but bright with a spark of something that could be mistaken as insnaity. She's got an 8-foot long sword strapped to her back, and is wearing white robes underneath the armor. It's hard to make out any other featrues than those beneath everything she's wearingm, though. * Rina blinks, looking around. "Okay, what just happened, and which universe am I in now? This is getting stupid. Joe? If this is a joke or something, I'm kicking your ass!" She's a pretty teenager, about five feet tall, with a nicely fit body. Her dark purple hair is done up in a ponytail, she has blue eyes, and she's wearing white gloves, silver bracers, lavander t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. Around her neck is a purple pendant. * Mogin is a moogle. Yes, you know, the kind that Square might have thought up. Except he's black, stands about 3'8", and isn't *quite* as pudgy as his SD counterparts. He's wearing a baseball cap (red) with a little tuft of furr sticking out the hole. He also wears a blue jacket, and no pants. Imagine that. His eyes are they typical red that moogles have, and he's cute. Really cute in a stuffed-animal sort of way. He looks around. * Naoki is also face-first on the ground. She hasn't bothered to pick herself back up just yet. (OST page updated.) * Mogin finds himself popped up in the air, but floats down to the ground on his, actually sizable, impish pink wings. ( My first ever OST. I'm so proud ;_; ) * Rina spots Jinx. Okay. She spots Naoki. O-kay. She spots Mogin. "Moogle!" * Jinx looks over the others for a minute. "Huh..." ( Rina's been hanging out with Jackie :P ) * Naoki groans. "Ittai...." (Over the course of a year or something, yes!) * Spirited is announced by the clip-clop of hoofs on the barren ground, anyone who cares to look at first sees what looks like a winged knight upon a green horse, on second glance they realize that the horse and rider are the same being, and is wearing a suit of green laqqurred platearmor. Strapped to his flanks are a halberd and quiver of spears, his human face looks like might grow into a bishie, but not yet. * Rina ignores the horse thing and scurries over to Mogin. "Wow, so cool." Jackie'd flip. Wonder if she's here. Um, hi. * Rina holds her hand out to the moogle. ( You don't know the half of it :P ) * Mogin takes the hand and shakes it. "What's shakin'?" * Rina grins. "Your hand. You're an honest-to-goodness moogle, right?" * Jinx holds his shotgun in one hand and points it at the ground. "Well.. this is a first. Even for me." Figures I'd be sent to Final Fantasy Land and Jackie wouldn't be here to see it with me. It's all *her* fault I know this stuff, anyway... * Mogin smiles cutely. "Of course I am." ^_^ Wow, that's so cool. I need a camera. At least I can take a picture for her or something. Final Fan- Ah, right. Those fuckin' Square guys came around and took a bunch of pictures of us for it. * Rina giggles. "Oh, so *that's* how it works." Anyway, I'm Rina. Rina Arai. Nice to meetcha. * Naoki picks herself up, and sits on her kness, looking around. Upon sighting Rina: ... Moving on to Mogin: "Kawaiiii!" Spirited: "KAWAAIIII!" And blinks slowly upon sighting Jinx. Mogin. Nice to meet ya too. (Naoki's jealous 'cause I'm prettier than she is.) * Spirited blinks at Naoki. Good afternoon...or at least I presume it is afternoon. * Jinx walks glances over at Naoki, he doesn't really react to her blinking. "So, you a Samauri?" * Mogin chews some gum. "Hey, we like the checks they send us ever week. And people wondered why that move sucked so bad." He smiles. Ano.... I've seen some wierd people before... but where am I now? Is this the tournament? Well, whatever it is. * Rina nods sagely. She digs out a notepad and starts taking notes. Jackie'll dig this. (The things I do for my best friend.) I was honestly hoping one of you would be able to tell me, I seem to be lost. * Spirited shrugs his wings. So, you know where this fuckin' place is? Huh? No, I was hoping you'd know. * Rina looks to the others. "Maybe they're local. Hey!" She waves. * Naoki jumps up at Jinx's question. "Of course!" Then toes the ground. "Not too good at the fighting part, but I am invincible! ^_^v" This must be the work of demons then. [Ze path ahead, she beckons.] Do they never learn? * Mogin shrugs and walks over to them, looking waaaaay up at all of them. "Hey, who's the horse-man?" No idea? * Rina walks over to them, smiling brightly. "Hi! Does anyone have any clue where the hell we are? Besides on a big grassy field. I figured that part out." * Jinx grins with a faint trace of smirk. "Invincibility, helpful trait that. You Shomuran?" No, m'lady I do not, I fear the work of demons. Oh. Demons, huh? * Naoki blinks. Then blinks again. "Used to be! Then I was somewhere else, and there was going to be a tournament, and now I'm here.... am I back?" Yeah. Green's nice, but it lacks some important shit. Like a damn arcade. Who else would drag us to a place such as this with no warning or explination? * Rina holds her hand out to the horse... guy. Up to the horse guy. Then she pauses and looks over at Mogin. ... You really gotta meet a friend of mine. * Jinx seems vaguely cheered by Naoki's comments. "Damned if I know. This isn't any sort of magic I'm familar with," ( Gimme awareness checks! Sight rolls ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6) and gets 7. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6-2) and gets 5. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-4) and gets 5. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Naoki (2d6) and gets 10. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Spirited (2d6) and gets 11. [Those who made it think they've seen something moving perpendicular to them up ahead.] Hey, I bet it's that way! *points down Ze Path* * Jinx shrugs and gets walking that way. Somethin's stalkin our asses. * Naoki runs to Ze Path. Who cares about some moving thing that she didn't notice, anyways? * Rina shrugs. [You see something move again! It's hard to tell what...] * Rina looks around, trying to get a better look at whatever it is. "Where?" I am called Spirited, but I belive further introdutions will have to be delayed. * Mogin points at it. "Perpendicular to the frickin' path." * Spirited draws and readies a spear. Uh... Ano? What's going on? * Jinx notices something off in the fog and runs off for a minute. Shortly there after he rides back on a mare. Prancy-horse-boy's gonna charge the damn thing. * Rina peers thataway. Only a fool would attack what he cannot see. * Naoki follows Jinx. (Naoki goes into the mist, then returns!) ( Carrying a pineapple thats ticking! ) You callin' your mother a fool? * Jinx rides forwards along the path, he strokes the side of the horses neck as he does so. "Good Lightning. Don't know where here is, but glad you came." * Spirited looks down at the unruly mascot, "If she were to run off foolishly, then yes." ( Gimme mind rolls. ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6) and gets 6. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Spirited (2d6) and gets 5. * Naoki watches the horse. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Naoki (2d6) and gets 2, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "Fight! For everlasting love and peace!" * Mogin is an unruly mascot, and damn proud of it, too. "So, what's this friend ya want me to meet?" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6) and gets 3. (nope) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6) and gets 9. Oh, Jackie. She's my best friend. [You move forwards out of the mountains and into the field, where you notice, it's not something you saw, it's some things. Actually, it's people. ] (Not a brain trust, this group) * Rina blinks, but keeps talking quietly. "She'd love ya. And she's this genius when it comes to games." * Mogin grins. "Game genius? I'd take her on anyday." ( You'd lose :P ) (Would I really?) ( Yes :P ) Ano... games? What kind of games? (She's got more than a -9 modifier?) Like, card or dice games? Whatever. ^_^ ( -8, but higher stats :P ) Perhaps a bored game. Are they those .. uh. Vertuah Slasher helmets? Those are fun. ^_^ (Meh... Don't make me make this guy have that many CP, Brett. :P) [They're all wearing red clothes or red armor, and are armed with swords, spears or pikes. From out of nowhere, someone yells, "Cao Cao will advance from the East, and Sun Jian from the West! The volunteer forces may move as they like!" And those who made the mind roll suddenly get a very loud thought: "Victory Condition: Defeat Zhang Bao. Defeat Condition: Lu Zhi defeated"] ( .... oh dear. ) (... You did NOT.) [The guys in red are rushing to your right, towards a bridge!] (Wrong strat game, wonderfull, I'm from a turn based game too) ( ^^ ) ... What is this, fuckin' Dynasty Warriors? * Naoki 's eyes light up, and she draws her nodachi in one smooth motion, pointing it at the general direction of the guys in red. "Which one of you is Zhang Bao?" * Jinx stops trotting forward. "Ok, Shomuran clan wars. Think I'll stay here." (*scrolls up* Well, then the difference isn't that big and Mogin has a chance of winning. It'd be a good watch. ^_^) (Got DR?) [The guys in red seem to ignore Naoki] * Rina was snapping her fingers, trying to remember where she saw it, and then, "Oh! Dynasty Warriors 25!" ( Gawd, Naoki would excel here. ... if she had an army of her own, that is. ) * Spirited nods "That is the best place for gunners." * Jinx watches the battle in a disinterested manner. Damn straight. Nobody's gonna listen to you... The AI's a bunch of morons. [Another thought flashes through your minds: "30 minutes remaining!"] Okay, so if this is Dynasty Warriors and... thirty minutes? For what? To kick Zhang Bao's ass. None of you... so where is he? * Rina blinks. "Is he the guy dressed in a chicken suit?" Yeah, him! Perhaps he has some sort of weapon that will go off in that time. Cool. * Naoki looks around. Does their side have troops? She's good at telling people what to do. Someone overcompansating for his small penis with a red flaming stick. * Rina snickers. * Spirited snorts. [A guy on a white horse in gold armor rides up. Sever men in red rush around him towards the bridge. Floating over his head are the English-Teck- whatever letters for "Sun Jian"] Okay. If anyone else is stuck here, they're probably heading to that guy, too. * Naoki turns, and blinks at Mogin. So, just need to figure out where he is. Thanks! Like the color of your antenna? * Jinx narrows his eyes. "Huh.. this is strange.. alright could someone explain to me the rules of this particular game?" * Rina eyes Sun Jian, tightens her ponytail, and decides he's on their side. "Okay. You kill a lot of people, and then kill the leader of the opposing army, and then everyone else runs away and you win." The end. * Mogin points at his little-glowing pom-pom thing. "What about it? Cool, ain't it?" Oh, is that all? That sounds like fun. ^_^ * Spirited nods, "Simple enough." Yeah. Let's kick butt. We did make it to the tournament! I thought it'd be a smaller scale, though. [Sun Jian shouts, "Show them the might of our army!"] * Jinx seems rather nonplussed. "Alright.. someone who knows who the enemy is lead on." And, uh, people are generally mooks, but archers suck. Even Jackie thinks they're overdone. Anyway. [Sun Jian's morale is rising!] And generals are stronger than everyone else. That's the people with names. * Rina can feel the morale boost already! Archers... Fuckin' Archers never get those arrows out of their asses. * Spirited looks a bit nervious at the mention of archers. So, does anyone have a map? * Rina starts looking around. Maybe there's a map button. * Naoki eyes Spirited, and Sun Jian. Ah.. kill the text guys. And no, not that I'm aware. * Mogin flies up for a good view... "Uhhh... Yeah!" ( Nobody brought a laptop :P ) * Mogin opens up his GBA-SP and puts in DW25. * Rina grins. "Scout!" [Lu Bu appears on the screen and taunts Mogin.] * Naoki runs over to Spirited, and jumps on! Tries to, anyways. * Jinx nods and rides forward towards the bridge." * Mogin flicks Lu Bu off. Hey, wait for me! * Mogin flies to the Bridge! * Rina runs after Jinx. Keeping up quite easily, even. * Mogin is easily able to mantain pace. Flight does that. [The fliers find that they can't seem to fly more than six feet off the ground.] * Spirited twists around to glare at Naoki, "I...am not a horse, but fort this..I will make an exception. Hold on!" Yeah! Ok... this is just fucking weird. ::He turns to Rena:: Alright, you need a ride? * Spirited leaps a short distance into the air. * Rina facepalms. And forgets to watch where she's going, so she trips and falls into the river. [You get to the bridge! There, you you see several guys in yellow fighting the guys in red. The guys in yellow have clothes tied around their heads and aren't as heavily armored, but use the same arms and seem to fight just about as effeciently.] * Mogin finds he can't do that, and keeps going on anyways... "The fuck's up with this?" (Hehe.) * Jinx slows up and leads Lightning over next to Rina. I do not know. Evil magics of this place perhaps. * Rina swims to shore and climbs back out, in front of Jinx. "No, I'm okay. Just wet." She smiles sheepishly. "Natural state and stuff?" * Spirited flys onward. [Actually, Rina can't fall in the river.] [It's like there's a wall in front of it.] (... You could've told me before? Oh well.) * Rina hit the wall? * Mogin takes out a pinball and chucks it into the fray, trying to ricochet it off of as many mooks as possible. ( I'm a bit busy @_@ ) * Naoki blinks, and shrugs. Alright.. so need a ride? I'm thinking no based on your running speed, but.. * Naoki holds up her nodachi high into the air, and rushes at the red mooks, yelling "Hyyaaaaaaaah!" Well, uh. I've never ridden a horse. And I'd probably fall off. [A buncha the guys in yellow run towards you. And now we go to init.] [It's Naoki's turn!] So I guess not. Can you take me riding later? * Rina notices the fighting. "C'mon!" She runs over thataway. * Jinx smiles slightly, "Sure." And does the same. Mook killing awaits! * Naoki charges! And if she can get into Melee doing so, ends with a jump into the air, going to vertically bissect the nearest red mook! (Chanbara) ( roll attack :P ) ( And Full Attack, too. ) * Spirited shakes his head as Naoki leaps off and runs. 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Naoki (2d6-5) and gets 1. ( Full attack is -2 or -1 bonus? ) ( -2. I think. ) (-2. -1 makes it not worth it.) [Naoki doesn't bisect the guy; in fact, there's no blood. But he does fall over and vanish.] [Mogin's turn!] ... What? I was CHEATED! What kinda tournament IS this?! * Spirited nods, "They are supposed to spin and explode." * Mogin pulls out some pinballs and chucks one of them at the nearest mook, intending to richochet it off of him into another. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6-4) and gets 2. * Jinx mutters to himself. "Great.. more psychos." * Rina looks up at Jinx. "I am not." Why you callin' a fuckin' psycho, ya cowboy? * Naoki curtsies to Jinx. "Why thank you." ^_^ [Mogin makes the one mook fall down] (Uh, what now Brett? You want me to roll another attack or what?) ( Roll it at +4 ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6) and gets 9. * Jinx smiles at Rina "Wasn't refering to you." He ignores Mogin for the moment although he does nod and grin to acknowledge Naoki's curtsy. (Nope.) [That's all he does! Spirited's turn!] * Spirited chucks the spear he's holding at another Mook. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Spirited (2d6) and gets 7. ( >_> How DO you people get sickening ACVs? ) [Spirited eliminates the mook! That's all of the ones chasing you. Plenty of others are fighting the guys in red, though.] (I don't know. My ACV's 6.) (Spent two CP. :P ) (I don't have a sickening ACV.) (But the rest of me is sickening, I assure you.) ( Guys in red? I thought we were fighting the guys in red? ) (No, we were fighting yellow.) [One guy runs past the combat to a fresh group of mooks all on his own. He's shirtless, with spikey hair and a feathered headband, red pants, and a really big sword. "Gan Ning" is above his head. But he's fighting the yellow guys, so he must be on your side.] (Nah. We're fighting yellow. Red's the good guys. As is blue, and green.) Ano... We're on a time limit, right? * Rina lets out a sigh and closes her eyes. Her clothes shift into Chinese-style silk and cloth battle garb, though the gloves, bracers, and amusingly sneakers stay the same. She opens her eyes and starts running again. "There, now I blend in!" Yeah, let's go. [Some guy in yellow robes and a weird hat, wielding a long, straight sword, attacks the spikey-haired guy. "Bo Zhang" is above his head in Red Letters, as opposed to the Blue Letters above Gan Ning's.] These punk-asses are goin' down! * Rina points. "General!" Change course. Get the general! [Rina's turn!] * Naoki runs to the yellow mooks. Then stops, and evaluates the newcomer, and changes course thattaway. * Mogin flies straight at the general, drawing a deck of cards... [And as you approach him, a long wooden wall of a fortress comes into view, with a tall wooden gate closed tight up ahead.] * Jinx has guides Lightning charge the general. * Rina runs straight for him, and not really caring about any honorable duel between Gan Ning and Bo Zhang (because frankly, nobody else does), attempts to punch him in the kisser. ( Heck, in that game people try to steal your kills all the time :P ) 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-5) and gets -3, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "My momma always said, you gotta take the good with the bad. Here's some good." (Yeah, really! Ooh.) Kill the fucker to open the gate! (... Dicesuke is feeling REALLY generous today.) (yes he is) [Youch! Bo Zhang goes flying! Rina finds herself shouting "Enemy officer defeated!"] ( .... He's saving his critfails for the final boss. ) [Meanwhile, when Bo Zhang vanishes, a shield appears where he was. And the big wooden gate opens all by itself.] Buff! * Mogin flies for it! * Jinx rides through the gates. * Rina blinks. Then grabs the shield. * Naoki dosen't care about shields. Shields are for wusses. And goes onwards through the big wooden gates. Mine, moogle boy! I hafta save the world anyway. Dammmit! * Spirited flys through the gate, and draws his pole-axe on the way. * Mogin flies through the gate. ["Defense +1" appears over Rina's head!] * Rina powerposes! I get the next shield. * Rina then runs through the gate. Or sword. Or whatever. Stupid greedy moogle. Hey, you would be too. [Meanwhile, Cao Cao is being stalled by Zhang Bao's magic!] [Cao Cao shouts, "There is a way to stop these winds! Keep advancing!"] * Spirited calls to the arguers over his shoulder, "We can fight eachother later!" [But meanwhile, you enter the gate. There's not very many troops inside.] * Rina blinks, then clears her throat and yells, "We must fight harder!" * Naoki stands at the gate, and yells, "Come on, you yellow-bellied yellow cowards! Are you too chicken to face us? C'mon, C'MON! Quit with your stupid winds!" * Mogin flies straight forward at full speed, possibly making about walking- distance headway. [They rush at you, but the red guys move in to fight them, including a woman dressed in a silk chinese shirt, carrying twin chakram. "Sun Shang Xiang" is above her head.] Aww, it didn't work. Oh well. * Naoki dosen't wait for a response to that, and goes charging in anyways. (Whee) * Jinx keeps charging in. He doesn't seem particularly excited as games are fun and all, but there's no one to bet with about it. * Rina runs after Jinx. She's having fun, at least. * Spirited flys into the wind and then drops to the ground and begins to make a bit better time. * Mogin flies after Jinx. This is better than any of the shit Square or Koei ever shitted out. [As you rush in, a number of faded men in yellow appear! One of the red troopers takes a swing at one and... falls right through him. "Wha-? What are you?" The faded troop walks slowly towards him. Another guy in red slashes at his back, but his sword goes right through, with no effect. The guy on ground shouts, "Stay back!" Then he's messily killed. "Aaah!" Except for some reason you don't see the mess.] [Anyhow, several phantom troops come after you! Eek!] * Rina blinks. Uh. That's a little creepy. Yeah. Too bad they're not real. ( everyone give me a def roll! ) ( Unarmed/melee/close etc. ) 2d6-4 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6) and gets 7. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Naoki (2d6-2) and gets 3. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-4) and gets 4. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6-2) and gets 10, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Maybe you should consider sacrificing some barnyard animals?" 2d6-2 ( Whatever floats your boat :P ) * Dicesuke throws the bones for Spirited (2d6-2) and gets 2. (... Ah hell. DR1) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6-2) and gets 1. [Jinx gets slashed by three of them. The attacks feel like pinpricks.] [Jinx's turn!] * Jinx laughs. "Well, not so bad here afterall." He then blasts as many as he can with his shotgun. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6-4) and gets 4. (Make by 3. So double barrel potential) [Jinx hits! ... Or, he should have. But the troops don't seem to have noticed.] [Naoki's turn!] [Meanwhile, Sun Jian yells, "Behind every spell, there is always some gimmick. Focus on finding the source!"] * Naoki blinks at them. Guessing that her nodachi probably won't work, she runs right through them. * Jinx seems more than a little surprised. "Wow, Millie would love these guys." Huh? Who's she? ( Def roll, Naoki! ) Outta my way, you tonberries! 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Naoki (2d6) and gets 8. Coworker, good with a rifle. Tonberries! Hah! My neighbor's a tonberrie. (dood, if these were tonberries we'd be so dead) Oh. I know some people who are good with guns. Nobody uses rifles, though. And she's not so good with the undead. (Or is it tonberry.) [Naoki runs through them, literally. But they still swing at her, and a few manage to hit. The attacks pass through her armor like it's not even there.] * Rina wrinkles her nose. "Oh." [Mogin's turn!] * Mogin flies straight ahead, looking for the thing to break the spell (Read: pots). "This is so much cooler when you're actually wasting their fuckin' asses." ^_^ * Naoki 's battle cry through them turns into a scream of pain somewhere in the middle of it. [Mogin, gimme a def roll] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6-2) and gets 2. [Mogin manages to avoid getting hit. Spirited's turn!] ( Um, if you're all gonna run, just gimme the def roll ) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-4) and gets 7. * Spirited heads the called advice and charges past the ghosts and looks for the soucre of their spell. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Spirited (2d6-2) and gets 6. [Rina gets cut up a bit, but makes it through. It doesn't hurt that much.] [Jinx is the only one who's still back there.] [The guys in red are trying to fight the phantoms, and failing.] * Rina winces in anticipation, then blinks. "That was... weak?" Their moves are lame. They are naught but shadows. ( Jinx, gimme def roll! ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6) and gets 3. (Yeah) [Jinx makes it through, too!] [As you run forwards, you notice two large pots. There's also a bearded man with a spear, named "Zhou Cang", some solid mooks, and some phantoms.] * Jinx reloads his shotgun and nonchallantly rides around. "So, we looking for a general-mage?" [The pots are glowing funnily.] Yup. Okay, some of us gotta take out the spear guy, and the rest of us take out those pots. Because they're glowy. They must be evil. I belive we have found him. * Naoki eyes Spear Guy. * Jinx charges the spear guy. [Zhou Cang takes the opportunity to attack Mogin! Def roll Mogin!] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6-2) and gets 10, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "I can recommend some good Dice Cleanser, if you like." (... DR2.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6-2) and gets 8. That *HURT* me! You're going to feel my pain! NOBODY hurts me! NOBODY! [Mogin gets smacked by a three hit combo, which hurts significantly more than the mooks' attacks, from what he heard.] (He just don't like the trash-talkin' moogle.) * Rina sweatdrops. "She's got issues." [Naoki's turn!] * Jinx snorts. "I've seen worse. Much worse." * Mogin goes flying from the last hit and lands with his back on the ground. "Fuckin' charge attacks!" Yeah, me too. She's got issues. * Rina blinks. "Wait, who's worse?" ( Wasn't a charge attack, was just a three-hit combo. The computer uses 'em all the time :P ) * Naoki grins ferally. Where'd she suddenly get Anime Fangs from? And starts swinging her nodachi at Spear Guy, in an almost random pattern, with her eyes half-lidded. (... Wait, you're right. ^^) (Meh, just stick a charge attack on the end.) ( You sure? ) ( Ok.... ) (Nah.) d5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d5) and gets 5. [Rina, ranged defense!] ( No 'tack rollage? ) ( Roll it after Rina's defense. Or before, either way ) ( And Full Attack Again, too. ) 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Naoki (2d6-5) and gets 6. (Use those defense rolls you never used, Rina!) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-4) and gets 2. [Rina dodges Mogin as he goes flying past her from the fourth charge hit] [Meanwhile, Naoki slashes him] [Spirited's turn!] * Rina watches him go. "Yeah." ( I wonder if you can parry a flying body? ) ( You can't block it, but maybe you can parry it. ) ( I'll have to try sometime. ) Why can noone BLEED properly? They're computer sprites! * Mogin gets up. * Rina stares at Naoki. "... uh. You're... kinda obsessed?" Edge away. ( They're not sprites. They're polygons :P ) (Close enough. They were sprites in Reboot. :P) (By the way, theme music for this session is "Straight Ahead" from DW4) * Spirited yells "Dance with the winds!" as he charges the named baddy. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Spirited (2d6) and gets 10. * Spirited thrust his halberd at him, but misses by a few inches. * Jinx doesn't seem to really notice Naoki's bloodlust anymore. He gets acclimated quickly to that sort of thing. [Rina's turn!] ... * Rina decides to stay away from Naoki and runs over to one of the pots, jumping up to deliver a vicious kick. 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-5) and gets 3. [Rina hits the pot with a vicious kick! But it's still stan... sitt... floating, actually. And spinning, too.] [Jinx's turn!] * Jinx charges at and fires at the guy with a spear. He tries to get a solid guy in the spray if possible, cause he likes to share the love. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6-4) and gets 3. [Blam! He falls over and turns into a sword! Jinx yells "Enemy office defeated!"] [Someone else named Jiang Wei shouts back, "We must try harder as well!"] * Naoki blinkblinks at the sword. "Sword! Mine!" * Jinx tries to run over the sword. Sure people told him not to steal Samauri swords, but hey.." * Mogin flies straight at the sword! [Mogin's turn!] I have no use for it. Sword! (Greedy boogers.) [Jinx gets there first. "Attack +1" appears over his head, and the sword itself vanishes.] (Damn straight.) * Naoki shakes her Nodachi at Jinx. That was supposed to be mine! * Mogin shrugs, and uses his wings to slow his momentum and chuck a pinball at the big jar-thingie. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6-4) and gets 6. * Rina takes some time to beat up a jar. Stupid glowing jar. * Jinx shrugs and gets to reloading his gun. "I killed him." * Naoki kicks the dirt where Spear Guy was. Stupid not-bleeding people. [Mogin strikes the big glowing jar! thwack. Still there, though. And there's two of those jar things, by the way.] [The mooks attack! Mogin, Rina and Spirited, gimme def rolls (melee)] 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-4) and gets 0. (Hooah.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Spirited (2d6-2) and gets 6. [And Rina hits the jar again :P] (Stupid jar!) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6-2) and gets 2. * Naoki notices the jars. "Maybe there's another in one of those!" [None of you get hurt.] [Naoki's turn!] * Naoki dosen't lose the glinting, feral look, as she runs, jumps and goes to cleave the shiny jar in twain. (More Chanbara!) [The jar shatters. One more to go!] (Remember. Jars take exactly 7 hits to kill... Or was it 9?) (Well, that's too many. Just hit it a few times.) ( I'm not gonna worry about attack rolls for the jars. It's late :P ) (We don't have those combo attacks anyway.) [Mogin's turn!] (Yeah, that's true.) * Mogin chucks another pinball! * Naoki stares at where the jar used to be. "This isn't making any sense...." (At the Jar, of course.) ( You guys suck. Most of the Dynasty Warriors characters have 3 extra attacks. Some have 4 or 5. :P ) Yup. Go figure. It's a game. You think it's gonna make sense? (...) ( Who needs extra attacks when you're a TANK? ) (Well, excuse me for being from the wrong game) [Mogin hits the jar! Spirited's turn!] (You wanted 35 CP max characters without 4 levels of EA. :P) Games make more sense than life most of the time. (Yeah, Brett. :P) ( Ard: Oh, that was just so I could make fun of you :P ) (;_;) * Spirited leaps at the remaining jar and swings his halberd at it (chanbara over here too) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Spirited (2d6-4) and gets 3. (You blasted Chanbara masters...) [Spirited smacks the jar! Still there! Rina's turn!] (mhm pain) (but not enough ;_;) * Naoki turns her gaze to the remaining jar, calming down. "That takes all the fun out of it." * Rina dashes over and punches the thing, not even flinching when fits hits metal. 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-5) and gets 3. [Of course not; it doesn't hurt.] (Even if it did, she wouldn't. ^^) [Rina hits the jar!] * Rina spins and kicks it, too. 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-5) and gets 4. (Extra Attacks?) [The jar shatters!] (Oh yeah.) (Geeze.) ( EA = Yum. ) [The phantoms then vanish.] [Still a few mooks, though. Jinx's turn!] [Meanwhile, Sun Jian shouts, "The illusions will vanish now. Charge!"] [Sun Jian's morale is rising!] [Pang Tong is goofy-looking!] * Jinx draws a revolver and fires it at one of the mooks well before he has a chance to aim. (quickdraw +3 penalty) 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6+1) and gets 10. (dr1) 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6+1) and gets 9. (dr2) 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6+1) and gets 8. (...) (Go Jinx go! :P) (dr3) 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6+1) and gets 6. (Anybody see a pattern here?) (hit!) ( I get the same thing with Ryuhi. >_> ) (It was just a matter of principle, wasn't it?) [Jinx takes a long time to kill a mook.] (Damn straight) [Luckily for you, the guys in red arrive just as the gate opens up.] [Gonna fight or run through?] Let's... Go go go! Thank you, drive through! * Rina runs! * Mogin flies! Onward! * Naoki goes for the gate. As there's probably plenty more to slash and cut and stuff that way. * Spirited galops off. (Naoki falls behind!) [You run! Beyond the gate is a camp. Plenty of mooks here. Gonna fight 'em or run past?] (Silly person wearing armor. Yesh... Everyone KNOWS the less is more rule applies here.) * Rina tries to run past. Gotta find the next general. * Jinx puts his pistol away and reloads his shotgun as he rides forward. You'll never get away! We'll slash every last one of you! * Mogin keeps an eye out for the next general. ( Heh, yeah. ) Where is the next named foe? * Mogin runs past. (Less Is More applies? I should shift to a bikini.) [Everyone running past gimme a def roll] (Why do you think the Moogle's not wearing pants?) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6) and gets 8. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-4) and gets 0. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6-2) and gets 4. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Spirited (2d6-2) and gets 7. * Naoki is staying behind to terrify some poor mooks. (Use your usless announce option!) (Yeah! "I am NAOKI!") We must not fall behind! ( She already did! ) Why do people keep saying that? [Naoki finds she's forced to go with everyone else because the GM is unwilling to make this game splitscreen!] 'Cause it's funny. [Meanwhile, Jinx and Spirited get cut a bit. Minor wounds, considering what they should have been.] * Naoki claws and scrapes against the invisibel side-scrolling wall that keeps her from racking up points on innocent mooks. ;_; 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Naoki (2d6-2) and gets 6. [Naoki does too!] (Man, I'm gonna have to use this character in a non-DW OST, though...) [You run past and find the next guy, who looks suspiciously like the guy you just killed. He must be different, though, because his name is Cheng Yuanzhi. He stands in front of a large gate set into a stone wall.] * Jinx gives a slight grin. "Must be humor that's too sophisticated for me." [Naoki's turn!] You! You robbed me of my rampage against those mooks! * Naoki runs up and tries to cut him up with her 8-foot long sword. Not a full attack this time, though. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Naoki (2d6-3) and gets 4. [Meanwhile, God gets angry and smites Pei Yuanshao.] "That should stop those winds!" [Cao Cao shouts, "Hmph! In the end, it is all cheap trickery."] [Meanwhile, Naoki slashes him hard; he goes flying back but somehow sommersaults in mid air and lands on his feet.] [Mogin's turn!] * Naoki eye's light up. He didn't bleed, but he looked cool recovering! That was cool! But how come you're not bleeding? [He doesn't answer!] * Mogin flies up into his face, quickly drawing a deck and throwing the bladed cards real-fast, one at a time, at him. "Ya like that?" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6-3) and gets 6. [Mogin hits him with a card. He responds by rushing at... Rina. Gimme a def roll, Rina!] (Gotta love the AI.) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-4) and gets 8, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "My momma always said, you gotta take the good with the bad. Have a little bad." (Woot!) (Go Ard! GO!) (Want me to DR that Ard?) (If you want. ;P) (... Naaah. :P) (Woot!) ( Mya. Lotsa DR'rs. ) (You're a tank, you can take it.) [Yeowch! Rina gets smacked 1... 2... 3... 4 times, then hit up into the air! Cheng jumps up after her and smacks her again back to the ground!] (Well, yes. Rina is a tank.) [Spirited's turn!] * Rina goes flying with a yelp of surprise, is smacked, and then hits the ground with a loud clang? "That hurt!" She sounds more annoyed than in pain. * Spirited yells, "Two can play that game!" as he charges Cheng and tries to get his special to go off again. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Spirited (2d6) and gets 10. (...) (...or not) ( Two tanks, two Chanbaras, two DR'rs... How many fliers? @_@ ) (Only one flyer.) (Dude, you're one of those characters that nobody can hit with.) (Nah, I fly too) (Your range must be wonky or something.) [Spirited misses ;_;] (Ah. You're right. ^_^) [Rina gets her chance for revenge] (I need to put a level or three of accurate on that ;_;) (Two japanese people.) (two video game types) (Or get some skill in the attack.) * Rina pushes herself to her feet and runs at the stupid spear guy, trying to punch him in the gut. 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-5) and gets 6. (Two swearers... I'm sure Jinx swears.) [Rina punches him!] (Yeah, but not like Mogin. Hell, Tairan doesn't swear like Mogin) * Rina then spins around him and tries to grab him, throwing him to the floor. Serves him right, the jerk. 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-5) and gets 4. ( Thanks. ^_^) ( Mogin doesn't swear like Makoto :P ) (Hey... Throws DO work in DW4. ^_^) (Yes, they do!) ( Damn straight, fucker.) [He falls down and vanishes. Rina shouts, "Enemy officer defeated!"] Kill stealer! (Yeah, Jinx has most every vice, he just keeps them in moderation) Ano. * Rina sticks her tongue out at Mogin. [Gan Ning replies, "Kick ass, dude!" He wouldn't normally, but he does now!] [The gate opens!] Always did like Gan Ning. Damn straight! Does it matter? [Pang Tong is still goofy-looking!] Fuck no. (Brett's starting to lose it. Hee. ^^) * Jinx charges forward through the gate. "Nice one." [Sun Jian's morale is rising!] * Mogin grabs whatever the sprite dropped. [He's the happiest man on earth!] * Naoki looks confused, now. But goes a charging! [Mogin gets a box.] * Rina powerposes and Mogin steals her item. "Sun Jian at Disney World!" She runs after them. * Spirited charges through the gate. * Mogin grins and runs to... THE PLACE TO KILL MOOKS! [You run through the gate! The red guys team up with some blue and green guys to fight the troops inside, so you can run past if you like, or fight them.] * Jinx rides past. * Mogin runs/flies past. * Spirited just flys past. * Rina dashes past. Next general! * Naoki stops in front of the Yellow Mooks, and runs right through them, laughing inanely, waving her sword about. Then joins up with the rest. [Moving around a large house, you see another sword-wielding scholarly type with a freaky aura. "Zhang Bao" is above his head. There's also another guy who looks like a mook. "Gate Captain" is over his head. And then there's a whole buncha mooks themselves.] [Jinx's turn!] * Rina lights up. "Target acquired," she says in her best machine-like voice. Which isn't very. ( Jackie could do a better voice. She's played Deus Ex :P ) * Jinx charges at Zhang Bao, leaping over and around mooks as best he can... "Why bother with anyone else." He unloads his gun into Zhang Bao's gut. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6-4) and gets 4. [Jinx shoots Zhang Bao!] * Mogin grins. "Some grade-A punk-ass whupping is goin' down." [The mooks attack! Everyone roll defense!] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Naoki (2d6-2) and gets 6. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6-2) and gets 0, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "I'm down with that. You know me." 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Spirited (2d6-2) and gets 6. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jinx (2d6) and gets 9. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-4) and gets 2. (Hey... They DO have counters in DW4, too.) [Jinx and Naoki get hurt, Mogin uses a parry and kills a bunch of mooks.] [Naoki's turn!] (Moogle parry! Kupo!) (Kupo!) You're the boss? Maybe they'll have enough of a budget to make you bleed! BLEED! Kupo, biatch! * Naoki runs, jumps, and reverses her grip in mid jump, ending up using the nodachi like a lance. (Total Attack, Called Shot-Chest) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Naoki (2d6-3) and gets 4. [Naoki impales him through the chest! But it doesn't seem to have done any more damage than a normal attack. Still, a hit is a hit, eh?] ( Impalation? Yey! ) You suck. You know that? You really really suck! [He retaliates by pointing a palm at Mogin. Mogin, ranged defense!] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6-2) and gets 6. (DR3.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6-2) and gets 5. [Mogin gets hit and falls over.] [It's his turn!] * Jinx smirks slight. "Well.. that's a shame." * Mogin gets up. "Wanna play that way, huh?" He quick-pulls a large dart and throws it straight at the guy's chest. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mogin (2d6-5) and gets 5. AGH! Not even the boss bleeds right! * Rina glances at Jinx, then snickers. "No blood?" [Mogin shoots him in the chest. Ehn, no big deal.] [Spirited's turn!] (... How do you shoot with a dart?) (Very carefully.) * Brett shoots a dart at Mogin and hits, 'cause he's the GM. (....) * Spirited grumbles about needing to train more, and just slashes at boss-type. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Spirited (2d6-4) and gets 4. * Jinx shrugs and grins. "Y'know, we may want to scram after this, before people start checking if we bleed." (Ahh, of course, when I don't try for it I get the numbers I need) Hah! I'm invincible! [Spirited slashes the boss!] [Rina's turn!] Noone can beat me! ^_^v ( Mogin only has 8 games :P ) Yeah. * Mogin laughs. "No shit, sherlock!" That is good to hear. (That's ON him, Brett.) (And he still has a minor item not spent. I could just get more.) * Rina runs at Zhang Biao, trying to smack him up in the air, then kick him across the scree- er, field. Combos work for Dynasty Warriors! 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-5) and gets -2. 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-5) and gets 3. ( And this is where him still being impaled slides right out like in insubstantial imporerly rendered one? ) (Punt up, score?) (SCORE!) (It's GOOOD!) (I wonder if I can get a goal?) [Rina hits him with both attacks! He flies across the field then falls to his knees, then to his face, saying, "Fate can be cruel..."] Scoooooorrrreeee! * Rina powerposes. Hmph. [Rina shouts, "Enemy officer defeated!" You all pose! Allied Forces Triumphant!] He wasn't so tough. * Rina was already posing! She's ahead of the game. * Rina eyes Naoki. * Naoki poses! Which involves her doing a fancy spin, and falling flat on her face. * Spirited rears up on his hind legs, wings spread, and halberd raised to the sky, "The Shining Force is Triumphant!" Ittai... [Suddenly you're in a room with a screen. There's a map on it that shows a quick replay of what you did.] * Mogin poses! Which involves him flicking the camera off. * Jinx has lightning rear up and the sun to his back when posing. Cause it makes it harder to see him. :P Then he's in the room. * Mogin looks around the room. What...just happened? [Mogin's box opens to reveal a level 1 dragon amulet.] * Rina settles and watches. "Oh, this is the aftermath thing. When they tell you how cool you are." * Naoki picks herself up off the ground, and examines the map. ...Oh. * Jinx reloads his shotgun. He doesn't bother to look confused, no point really. Yeah. Rina KS'ed us though. * Mogin puts the Dragon Amulet on. * Rina lets her clothes shift to black jeans, a blue t-shirt, and a black leather jacket. She leans back on her elbows and looks back at Jinx. "So, you gonna take me riding- hey!" If you weren't so slow at killing them, I wouldn'tve had to do your job for you! [Rina gains several ranks and a new outfit for having defeated the most officers (actually, it's the same as her other outfit, just a different color).] * Rina giggles. * Mogin laughs. "What are you, an android?" * Naoki fiddles with the map to try and enable Blood: On. Rina's fists are now level 2! * Jinx leads Lightning over to her and offers a hand up. "Sure." That was fun. Nice to meet you all. ^_^ [And then it's over! And you're not there! The End!]
