[Day: Tuesday, May 30th. Time: 8:00 p.m.] [You're all in the clubroom, except Lazar and Makoto. Where are they? Nobody knows! It's the night after the fun fun battle with the tigerfish, and Naomi isn't there yet, so you're just chillin'] [Session Start] * Rei hums cheerfully, playing with the evil black box again. She's fitting dials onto it. * Chomei is leaning against a wall tapping his foot. "Where are those two?" Somewhere else! Duh. * Chie sits at the table this time, working on a man's silver necklace chain. They don't love us anymore. How sad. I don't know if they ever loved us in the first place though. (figaro chain) * Maria is perched on a chair again. They missed out on some great fun last night. * Rei shifts her position on the desk. "Well, mebbe they were eaten by space aliens with mayo and ketchup and cottage cheese." * Chie grins. Maybe they weren't Rei. * Maria smirks. "They sure did." And chocolate ice cream. Mmm, I could go for some chocolate ice cream. If Naomi doesn't show in the next fifteen minutes, wanna get chocolate ice cream? * Chomei scratches his head. "Sure. * Chie eyes the necklace. "'Kay, that oughtta do it... and ice cream sounds great." Sure, I guess. * Chomei looks at the necklace. "What do ya have there?" * Peter has his nose buried in a book. Something from my other job. * Maria notices the necklace, and eyes it distractedly. I'm a jeweler. Oh really? * Maria grins. * Chie pulls a small bag out of her larger bag, and tucks the necklace inside. Yep! Pretty cool, I wish I had another job than 'student.' I do custom stuff along with repairs. So if you ever want anything, just let me know. * Rei blinks, then looks over at Chie. She oohs and hops off the desk, moving in for a closer look. "You are? Cool. I never met a jewler before. You must be really good." I'm tryin'. * Chie gathers her tools and tucks them inside the bag as well. ( If Rei never met a lawyer before, would she consider the first one she met good? ) (But she already met at least one lawyer. ^^) * Chie points to her necklace, a black ribbon choker with a silver spiral charm hanging from it. "I made this one. Thinking about doing earrings to match. What do you think?" * JesseLman has joined #besm (Just got home. Gonna eat quick, and I'll be here. x_x Very nice. Pretty. Do it! ( Yay! Time to stall! :P ) * Chomei looks. "That looks pretty nice." * Chie smiles. "Thanks. Guess I've got earrings to do now." * Maria chuckles. Yes, you do. I'd ask you to do stuff for me, but I never really wear jewelry. I don't have my ears pierced, anyway. But maybe for Mom's birthday or something. Custom stuff is already really neat. ^^ Anytime. And I could do clip-ons for you if you wanted. I'll bet you could come up with some really cool designs. Don't clip-ons hurt, though? And I heard they fall off, too. I guess I could *try* them, but... * Maria shrugs. Depends on how heavy you want to make them, I guess. Or you could bite the bullet and get 'em pierced. I don't have my equipment with me, though. Seki-kun has fits when I take stuff out of the shop. * Chie grins. "But what he doesn't know doesn't hurt him." * Maria chuckles. * Rei covers her ears and howls. "Ow, the pain! The pain of the thought! They hurt my sensitive earlobes like anything but actually getting them pierced do! Ooh, oooh!" She falls over. ... You can get up now. No way. * Chie laughs. "Yeah, some people are sensitive about that. Obviously, I'm not." She points to her left ear and winks. * Maria blinks at Rei. "Are you al... wait, of course you are." * Rei sticks her tongue out at Chie from her spot on the floor. * Chie chuckles. * Peter is doing his very best not to notice all of this. You should pierce Chomei's ears. He's a big tough strong guy. He can handle it. * Maria hops out of her chair and goes over to read over Peter's shoulder. Heh. How 'bout it, Chomei? * Chomei shakes his head. "No way I'm getting my ears pierced... My mom would kill me." Aww, c'mon, Chomei-kun. What's a little death between family? Awww. But parental annoyance is fun! * Rei giggles. Hehehe... Very funny, but you haven't met my mom. Bet she's not as scary as mine. * Chie tilts her head and looks like she's listening to someone. "Well, it *is.* And I'm not corrupting them!" * Chomei looks at Rei. "Try me." * Maria continues looking over Peter's shoulder. "What language is that?" * MarkPoa has joined #besm Latin. ( *blinkblink* HIya, MP. ) * Rei grins and sits up, turning to look at Chomei. "She can turn all ninja stealth invisible and BAM! Before you know it, you're caught! Nobody can sense her, not even Dad, when she wants to be that way." (Don't mind me. I'm just lurking. :)) Ah. Never heard of it. [Naomi walks in about now, yawning.] * Kirby is now known as Naomi * Chomei sighs, "I dunno, maybe." * Rei waves at Naomi. "Morning!" H'lo, Boss. * Chie rolls her eyes and continues listening to the unseen person. "Geez. Of course I'll be careful. Stop worrying so much!" * Chomei looks at Naomi. "Hey, look who's here." * Peter looks up and places a bookmark in the book. "Good morning." * Naomi gives Rei a tired look before addressing everyone in general. "Hey." * Maria hops back over to her seat. * Chie shakes her head and looks over at Naomi. "Yo." Morning? It's eight at night thou- Wait, that wouldn't stop you, would it. * Rei reaches back and pulls her backpack off a chair and onto the floor alongside of her. She follows suite with the little black box. (*kicks the Typo Demon*) * Naomi cracks her knuckles. "Hope you guys had a good rest waiting for me, because we don't have much time." * Peter blinks and peers at his watch. "Goodness. You're right. Good evening then." What's up? * Maria raises an eyebrow. "Much time for what?" Eh? What're we doing tonight? What's up? Was my prediction about aliens and chocolate ice cream right? Sometimes I hate it when I'm right. * Peter simply stares at Naomi, waiting for an explanation. ( Back. x_x) * JesseLman is now known as Lazar Tonight, you're going to the Sky Garden Museum. They just gained a new exhibit, a tomb of some old German king, or something. Anyhow, it's inhabited by a white tiger spirit. That's what you need to get rid of. German king? Which one? Oooh, spirits. That's my department. White tiger, spirit? Dunno. Probably not important. * Chie rubs her hands together. * Lazar wanders in. * Naomi looks up and over at Lazar. "Good. One more." * Rei blinks with one eye, then the other. "I dunno, maybe it is important." She yanks open her backpack and pulls out a miniature laptop. * Maria grins. "Museums. That's my department." Yo, Laz. We're just about to get started. 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (2d6-6) and gets 2. Heya, Laz. * Chomei takes a look at Lazar, "What's happening?" At any rate, I won't be going with you tonight, and neither will Makoto. On the way over, I got an emergency call about an insane were-panther biker, so we'll be taking care of that." * DemoGaming is now known as Demota Sorry I am late. Doing research, forgot time. A were-panther biker? And you're not inviting me? Aww! * Rei pouts. Bah, you can go with her in spirit... literally. Oh yeah! But I really shouldn't refuse orders from my superior on the second day of the job, even though biking after the panther in astral form would be awfully unbelievably cool... What we hunting? * Maria chuckles. Tiger spirit. Some tiger-spirit. * Peter looks deep in thought. ... that new one to me. * Chie reaches into her bag and pulls out a small silver medallion (without a chain) that has a few kanji carved into it. "Yep, wards are ready." * Chamelaeon has joined #BESM * ChanServ sets mode: +o Chamelaeon (Paper wards are boring. ;p) * Rei sighs. "Let's see about this tiger guy." She activates the computer, which has BOX written on the top in big, shiny tape letters. Yosh! Curious.. This is similar to a legend I have heard before.. ( Sorry about this. /msg stuff ) * Chie raises an eybrow. "What's that, prof?" Oh really? Please say not... what word... hands pass through it... Intangible? * Maria frowns. "That would make things trickier." Invincible? Wait no... Incorporeal. Like me, right? Intangible. That it. * Rei types. Hate intangible. No can hit. ( The GM types too x.x ) ( "The GM types also." ) Possibly. I don't know much about it. * Peter thinks. "It's a common legend, and this fact that been backed up by various reports and books, that white tigers are spotted at the tombs of leaders or kings." * Chie nods. "Well, that'd make sense." So, what's the catch? * Rei blinks and looks up at Peter. "Really? Funky. What Chomei said." ( Once I find out.. ) (Gotcha) They are.. spirits, but unique ones. * Chomei listens. They can and will attack, even while being exorcised. Oh, *fun*. Aww, crap. * Lazar moves to sit down... and promptly breaks the chair. "... always do that." That's, different. Wonderful. * Rei blinks. "Waitaminute. Crap. If they're spirits, can they hurt me? That'd really suck. I'm not big on this pain thing." Well, you guys get to play cover for me. Wards and holy weapons allow them to be harmed. Righto. Anyhow, you know the details. Just stick Lazar in front. * Lazar stands. "Holy weapons... it undead?" Oh, why the rush? They only recorded weapon they have are razor sharp claws. Don't assume that is all they have however. * Naomi hands Peter an paper with the address of the Sky Garden Museum. "Can't stay and chat. Work it out amongst yourselves." Not undead, but not really living either. You've got until morning to kill it. * Peter nods at Naomi. "Good luck." * Naomi leaves in a hurry. * Naomi is now known as Kirby Right, good luck Naomi. * Maria shrugs and waves. "Later, Boss." Bye Naomi! Seeya. * Lazar snaps his fingers, which produces a grinding sound rather than an actual snap. So, can we get a floorplan of this museum? * Peter calmly removes his Chu Ko Nu from his backpack and begins changing bolts. * Chomei looks at Rei. "I think that's her department." * Lazar turns the Chie. "Just make it hittable. Then I hit." * Rei hums and chews on a pen, which she apparently pulled out for the express purpose of chewing on. "Sure, gimme a second." If we know where is shows up, I can stick wards around the room. (it) * Maria hops over to where Rei's sitting, and looks over her shoulder this time. Hey hey! No lookin' into the box! It'll probably show up around the tomb. * Peter examines one of the bolts. "I have a small supply of blessed bolts." * Rei waves Maria away. Awww. You're no fun. You can't peek. * Rei sticks her tongue out. * Maria sticks her tongue out, too, and goes back to her own seat. If you are quite finished, I think we have a job to do. Yeah, let's get this over with. Shall we meet at the museum? Guy on display is Wolfgang von Krauser. German king in the eighteenth century. He built a castle or something, but that's about it. Kinda boring. Why'd a tiger spirit wanna stalk him? 'Cause it's bored? Spirits get bored pretty easily. Trust me. He'd have to be really bored. Couldn't he stalk, I dunno, Hitler or something? * Chomei shrugs "I dunno" Maybe Krauser's got a good sense of humor or somethin'. Well, who has a car, cuz' I'm not riding a cycle this time. * Chie mock-pouts. "Aww, Chomei. You don't love us anymore, either?" * Lazar puts the pieces of the broken chair aside. "Van suffer again, Peter?" I've got a van, Chomei. Chomei, you wuss! ( Agh! Slow down ;_; ) Not wuss, just sane. You're just afraid of a coupla giiiiiirls. Wuss. ^_^ See? Maria called you a wuss. You must be a wuss. * Rei presses a key and grins. "Got 'em!" * Maria nods. "Yup." ... We're mostly harmless. 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (2d6-6) and gets 1. I'm afraid so Lazar. You weren't when you got me up on the stage last time. * Maria looks back t Rei. "*Now* can I look?" Aww, you loved it! * Lazar grins. "Harmless? Speak for self." Wolfgang von Krauser you say? How interesting.. let me see what I can remember about him. (*facepalms* Now I know why that name sounds so familiar. ;p) No, I didn't. How.. strange.. If I remember correctly, this man did nothing of interest, and was in fact, of a deluted bloodline. Just wait until next time, Chomei. We'll have you knockin' em dead! All reports of white tiger spirits appear on pure royal tombs. How strange.. Hm. Weird, I guess. * Chie has been grinning the entire time, that not-quite-demented-but-darned- close grin of hers. Or at least, royal blood. This man would not have fit the description. You're not getting me up there again. Maybe it's confused? * Chomei shrugs. Anyway, we are on a time limit, so let us hurry. * Chie turns to Peter. "Maybe all the good tombs were taken? I could ask it when we get there, but I don't think it'll be too cooperative." Could it be a fake tiger spirit thing? ( It's... a guy in a mask! ) * Lazar slaps Chomei in the back. "Come, little one! Ride in suffering van with Lazar and Peter!" * Chie turns back to Chomei. "We'll see." She winks. I'm all for it. * Maria chuckles. It could. It could also be a different creature. Anyway, let us discuss it more once we reach there. * Peter heads for his van. Alright. Guess we'll see when we get there. How far to the place? Right. Onward! * Lazar follows. ( Brett? How far? ) * Chomei walks to the van. ( Umm.... 20 minute drive. ) (Rei?) * Maria follows everyone down to the parking lot. ( Ard seems to have vanished. ) (She's talkin' to Dad) * Peter hops into the driver's seat and starts the van, waiting for heavy-boy and the others. Who're you ridin' with, Maria? You, I guess. Don't think I've ridden on your deathtrap yet. Heh. S'not a deathtrap. Least, not compared to Rei's. * Chomei takes sits the passenger seat. (in) * MarkPoa has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [And so, they arrived at the museum by 9:00.] * Maria smirks. "All vehicles are deathtraps. 'S why I prefer going on foot." [The museum is a fairly wide building, with two floors. It's nice and large, and makes for a great dungeon ^^] (Did we find any floorplans?) * Maria studies the exterior. (Do not question the floorplans.) * Chomei gets out of the van after it's parked. * Lazar exits the van after Chomei. The van whimpers. (Well, I would like to know the floorplans so I can figure out where to stick wards.) * Rei comes driving on in, like the maniac she is. "Hi guuuuuuuuuuys!" she yells as she passes, skids around, and stops next to the van. * Chie pulls up next to the others. * Chomei looks at the crazy girl. "Do you always do that?" * Chie takes off her helmet and vaults off her bike. "Made it." It's the only way to fly. * Mariah is now known as Amanda Now see, Maria, it could have been worse, couldn't it? * Chie points at Rei and winks. * Maria hops off of Chie's bike. "That was so... sedate, I guess, after riding with Rei." * Rei hops off and yanks open her backpack. She pulls out a few crumpled papers. "Floorplans. You silly people decided to go without me and your map." * Peter pulls the van up and parks it. (I jumped out of a moving van? =P) * Chie studies the floorplans. (Details, o illustrious GM? ^_~) * Peter steps out of the van and pulls his crossbow into ready. (I jumped out of one that was parked.) * Maria pulls on a pair of black gloves and grins at the museum. (Well, you exited after Chomei, who said he got out after it was parked... so Peter's just a bit slow. ;p) Can I have one of those maps, Rei? [The museum is big and pretty straight-forwards. You're going to some room on the east side, second floor.] (How many walls does it have?) Sure, I got a few copies. (Standard four? ^_~) * Rei hands one of them to Maria. Heavens only knows how they got so messed up in such a short amount of time. Are we going to hit the lights once we get inside? It's a spirit, Chomei. It doesn't care if it's dark or not. [It's a big square] * Maria looks at the map, noting the location of the display they're going to, as well as anything else valuable. Good, I ment turn them on though. They can *all* see in the dark? Man. I suck even more than your average spirit. * Chomei chuckles, "No, you're just special." Not all. But a tomb-guarding spirit most definitely would. Hey, did anyone check with Naomi to see if they turned off any traps or whatever while the spirit's there? Nope. * Chomei shakes his head. "Didn't think of it." Getting caught on video would kinda suck for Interpol. Especially since most of them don't even know we exist. Aww, man. I can have a look and see, if you want. * Chie raises an eyebrow. "So we could have security to deal with, too?" Just don't get caught on tape, right? * Maria grins. "Leave any security to me." Hey, no way! You might screw up. I think Maria probably knows what she's doing, Rei. I hope she does, and if she doesn't, we don't know her. * Chie chuckles. "You're so trusting, Chomei." I know, isn't it great? * Rei sticks her tongue out at Chie. "Okay, okay, but I'm goin' with her." * Maria eyes Rei. "I've taken on tougher security systems than this, thank you very much. I've done this for... nevermind." Just try not to alert the spirit. I not very subtle... should I wait? Sure! I'm quiet as quiet can be! Yeah, Laz. * Chomei raises his eyebrow. * Peter raises an eyebrow at Maria. This is just recon. We'll be going in later once it's save. (Safe) Okay. Tell me when need something hit. * Rei opens the van and sits on the step up into it. She rips open her backpack. "Okay, Maria? Can ya carry some stuff for me?" A little. Why? 'Cause I might be a ghost, but I can't cut wires without wire cutters. ^^ Unless you've got your own kit. Then we don't need to bring mine in. That'd be kinda cool, actually. I have my own, but it never hurts to have a spare. One sec. * Maria reaches into her backpack and pulls out a vest with many pockets, made of some strange black material. * Lazar shakes his head. "Wires and cameras as security. So many things different..." Cool outfit. * Rei blinks, then peers at the vest. "That doesn't look standard. It do anything funky?" * Chomei looks "Heh, cool, what's id do?" * Maria hands the vest to Rei. "Stuff 'em in here while I change. And yeah, it goes with another outfit of mine." * Peter idly watches the two thi.. err, "security system checkers." (*Shoots Mr. Typo) (id made Doom, Wolfenstein...) Gotcha. Ninja catsuit, here we come! * Maria smirks. "Bingo." Now, outta the van so I can change without the boys leering. More. * Rei snickers and hops out of the van, settling on the pavement instead. * Peter blushes. "I would never..." * Chomei turns away from the van. * Lazar picks Peter and Chomei up. "Privacy for lady." *walks away* Prof, you pervert! What'd I do? Not you, him! Sure you would. You've got... nevermind. * Rei shakes her finger at Peter. * Chie smirks. * Lazar sets both men down about 30 feet away from the van. Com'on, I'm not that stupid... she'd kick my ass if I peaked. * Peter shakes his head and sighs. "Those girls will be the death of me." * Rei pulls a couple small boxes out of her backpack. She opens them, then starts taking tools and putting them in the vest pockets. No, right now we're working on making sure you don't get a criminal record. Keep it straight. * Maria hops into the van, closes the doors, and comes out a few seconds later in a black and indigo hooded catsuit that fits her like a glove. A very tight glove. She holds her hand out to Rei. "Got everything in there?" * Chie looks over at Rei. "Anything I can do to help?" * Rei looks up. "Aww, cool! It do anything special? I want one!" Hey Lazar, are they done? Umm. Well, not really. Unless you can. I really don't know. * Lazar picks up Chomei and Peter and walks them back to the van. "Done." * Chie looks at Maria. "Niiice." * Maria chuckles. "It does, actually. Keeps pesky cameras and sensors from noticing me. Now all I have to worry about is eyes, and I'm good enough at avoiding those." * Rei closes the last pocket and hands the vest to Maria. "All done! Might be a little heavy. I put a lot of stuff in there." * Maria poses. * Chomei takes a look... "Nice." [Maria does not avoid Chomei's eyes.] * Maria puts the vest on, zipping it up over her chest. Sorry, guys. * Chomei turns his eyes away once Maria notices. Good luck. Don't get killed. * Maria eyes Chomei. * Rei climbs into the van, pulling her backpack after her. She sits, calms her breathing, and goes into that disturbingly quiet state. Ready to go, Rei? * Rei doesn't respond. Can't imagine why. ^^ Um, yeah, good luck you two... And don't get caught, okay? * Rei is now known as SpiritRei ~Getting caught's for ameteurs.~ ( You guys just can't do anything the easy way, can you? ;_; ) Take care, you guys. I suppose you have a point. (Absolutely not.) (We're careful. And thorough.) ( Ok, into #Kirbymuseum ) (Of course not, that'd be... well... easy.) * Maria slips on some goggles, pulls the hood tight around her face, ans is not completely covered. "Never been caught before." * Lazar nods at the people going in. "Be safe." * SpiritRei lightly tugs Maria towards the museum. ~Let's boogie!~ Right. * Maria boogies! * SpiritRei boogies, too! And then zooms towards the museum. ^^ * Chomei leans against the van. "Well, how long do you think this'll take?" * Maria is gone, yo. Assuming they are not caught or mauled to death, maybe half an hour. You guys are so positive. I wouldn't worry about being caught, but mauled would be very possible. Someone has to counteract Rei's disturbing amount of cheerfulness. And it takes two of us to do it. Next time, remind me to bring something to do. Hm. I wonder if the tiger wanders the whole museum, or if it just sticks to the tomb chamber? I don't want to start warding the room and have the stupid thing be *outside.* Spirits lazy. Like staying in one place. Heh, I would guess it would be in one place, but that's just me Prof? That sound about right? 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6) and gets 5. Unless they wandering spirits. Wandering spirits pain in tuchas. I can imagine. Yeah. They really are. * Peter nods. Most spirits are focused in a single place. Some are not, but they are very rare. These white tiger ghosts frequent the tombs, and rarely move around. * Chamelaeon has quit IRC (Quit: reboot ) Good. Then I can trap it in the room, if I can get the wards up fast enough. We'll try to cover for you, though I don't know how much good it'll do. 'Course, that'd probably trap Rei as well. Hm. That's something to consider... * Chomei frowns. "I don't think she'd like that at all." No, I would imagine not. Take down wards after hit spirit lots. Rei can leave. Do the wards directly hurt the spirit, or do they just keep them from passing through a doorway? They hurt if directly applied. Otherwise, it just keeps them from passing through. * Chomei nods. "And if they're set up?" Spirit can't get out. Unless it's really strong. In which case, the ward gets destroyed. Ah, shouldn't be a problem then, unless we can't take them down. But if we can't take them down, we have bigger problems. I'll ask Rei when she gets back... I could leave one of the walls unwarded so she could have an exit. * Maria is suddenly right next to Peter. "Someone else has already broken in. I think they took out all the security already, but Rei's checking to be sure." 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6-5) and gets 2. * Chie blinks. "Wait, somebody else is in there?" * Peter jumps in surprise. Someone.. is already there? This is not good. Dammit, that just made things more complicated. * Chomei blinks "What?" * Lazar scowls, and grabs his pendant, shimmering before revealing his golem form. "Not good." Someone else *has* been in there, at least. The skylight was opened, and the security was off, so. Let's hurry. * Chomei puts his hand out to the left and summons his bow. Alright, you know the way Chie? * Chie slings her bag over her shoulder. "Okay, let's move." * Peter has his crossbow out already. * Lazar follows Chie. * Chie pulls out a map. "Yeah, second floor, east side." * Maria heads for the museum without a sound. (Is the inside dark or light?) * Chie enters the museum. * Chomei follows Chie. ( It's dark inside. ) * Chomei slips on a pair of goggles. * Peter follows. Should we go for the lights? Sure, I really don't like using these things. * Maria says quietly, "If you don't mind informing the other thief we're here, then go right ahead." [Inside the museum is the information desk, and behind that, the security office. There's a staircase up to the second floor, and archways to the left or right. There's also someone sitting in the information desk's chair, but you can see who it is because the chair's facing away from you.] Okay, lights off, then. ... Right. * Chie whispers that. * Chie pulls out her small flashlight, but doesn't turn it on yet. * Peter peers at the information desk's chair. * Chomei tries to get a good look at the chair, but can't tell who it is. * Maria stays out of sight. * Chie hangs back with the others. * Lazar scowls, walks up to the desk, and knocks gently on it. ( Lazar's knocking earns him a +! ) * Brett sets mode: +v Lazar [The person in the chair doesn't respond.] * Lazar walks around the desk to the chair. * Peter keeps his crossbow aimed at the chair. * Chomei trains his bow at the seat. [Lazar sees a life-sized puppet sitting in the chair. He can make a cultural arts: theatre roll to find out what kind.] Lazar? What is it? (Or I can turn the chair around so the other can see it. =P) *does so* ( Everyone else can do the same thing :P ) What... is it? 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (2d6-6) and gets -2. * Chie frowns. "That's... weird." Hmm. Doll. Odd. * Maria blinks. "What's that?" It's a puppet used in a Japanese puppet play. What the heck is it doing here? ...someone doesn't take this museums's security very seriously. * Chie concentrates. "It's not a spirit." That doesn't mean it couldn't come to life on us, though. And maybe it's the calling card of the other thief. * SpiritRei float-runs in and sits on the desk. ~Maybe it is.~ Welcome back, Rei. Find anything? Well, what do you say we do what we came here to do? * Maria fehs. ~Someone shut off all the security systems. I took a look at the exhibit we're going for through the cameras, and nothing's missing. I think.~ Strange.. Hey, Rei. Perhaps we just came at the same time as an actual criminal. ~Nothing's even out of place.~ If I ward the room, you're not going to be able to get out. * SpiritRei shrugs. You want me to leave an opening? ~You sure? Every other time I was able to just wake up... I don't need to actually run back to my body. But I've never delt with wards before. Uh...~ (*shoots the Typo Demon*) * Chamelaeon has joined #BESM * ChanServ sets mode: +o Chamelaeon Or not theif. Just snoop. I react to you the same way I react to any other spirit, so I'm thinking the wards'll affect you too. ~Oh, that'll so suck. Maybe I should just sit this one out, then. You don't wanna risk it getting away.~ Why would they snoop when they could just come when everyone else does? * Maria frowns. Shy? Doubtful. It's up to you. I could do three of the walls and leave the fourth open, if you wanted. [Everyone make a hearing roll.] Nah. If they're here after hours, they're taking something home with them. Truse me on this, Laz. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6) and gets 3. 2d6+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6+3) and gets 12. (Any modifiers?) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-2) and gets 9. ( Uhh.... hearing :P ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6) and gets 6. (Made it) - ( ...damn tou to hell, Dice. ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6) and gets 8. (I missed... badly.) (You're nearly deaf, man! :P) ( And I mean that in the nicest way. ) (Mmm. No.) (True, too much rock.) [Everyone who made it hears voices coming from the west.] (Wait. Heightened Awareness come in?) * SpiritRei tilts her head. ~Someone's over there. I'm gonna check it out.~ ( yeah ) You do that. * Lazar turns to the west. *whisper* "Voices. That way." * SpiritRei floats up and zooms to... the west! * Maria frowns. ( Mrgh. Now I'm gonna have to describe these people twice x.x ) * Chomei looks... that way. (*checks* Well, even with the bonus, I missed.) ( The [WEST]!!) * Maria sneaks to the west! (Almost as good as THE FUTURE!) ( Go west, young thief. ) (THE FUTURE!) ( The future? ) (THE FUTURE!) (*nods* THE FUTURE!) ( THE FUTURE! ) * Chie follows the others. To the west. ( Ok, whoever's going that way go in #Kirbymuseum ) Mmm... on second thought, I'll let the thieves take care of that. * Chie holds back. * Peter decides to wait for the scouts to return. [Chie calls Rei and Maria thieves. For the record :P] (sub "sneaky people" for "thieves" ;p) (I thought that was odd.) (I wasn't thinking.) (Player slip. ;p) (And I started typing the substitution comment before what Brett said. ;p) 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-5) and gets 4. * Lazar sets his feet, in a vaguely 'ready to charge' position. (Yeah, I'm your atypical DnD rogue. ^^) * Chie silently wishes that she were a sneaky person as well. ^_^ (And you can take that however you want. ;p) * Peter doesn't have a book to read. * Chie waits. She hates waiting. * Chomei leans against a wall and taps his foot impatiently. * Chie sighs. "Do you think we should go see what's up?" * Chomei nods. "Let's." *nods* * Lazar walks foward semi-quickly. Comming Peter? * Chomei walks a little behind Lazar. * Chie follows Chomei. ( Ooooh kay. ) (/me waves his hand in front of Peter's face. "Hello, ya there?") Are... you sure? * Peter follows then. ( Yes, I am. ((_^; ) (Alrightie.) [Following in the direction Maria went, you head into the african exhibit. Everyone who has burglary can make a breaking-and-and entering roll.] * Peter doesn't. * Chomei lacks skill in that as well. (How about just a break roll? =P) ( No ) (;_;) [Then you notice nothing unusual :P] (Now look, you made him sad.) * Chomei shrugs, "Let's keep moving." ( How about the poor GM, huh? When do -I- get sympathy? ;_; ) * Lazar nods, and continues at his quickened pace. (When we get into one group again. :P ) * Chie continues to follow. * SpiritRei zooms in, not that anyone can see her other than Chie. ~PROF!~ she yells in all your heads. ~You've gotta come, quick! Maria's hurt and she's bleeding and she might be dying and I couldn't do anything and damnit, I suck, come on!~ A ghostly hand *grabs* Peter by the arm and yanks him down the hall. * Chomei keeps following. Oh, *shit*! Damn! * Peter runs. Well... right. * Chomei runs. * Chie breaks into a run, drawing her sword as she goes. * Peter is yanked too, but he runs. * Lazar RUNS. * SpiritRei keeps pulling Peter down the hall, up stairs, and towards a certain room with a skylight. * Amanda has quit IRC (Quit: Octothorpe break your glowstick! Octothorpe eat your candy! ) * Chomei follows the pulled Peter. [Rei leads everyone to a room with a big skylight, where Maria is on the floor leaking icky red stuff.] * Lazar follows, thudding footsteps (presumably) echoing through the hall. (Is anyone else still there?) * Lazar growls. "Who do this? Where?" [Nope] * Chomei looks at Maria. "Peter, can you patch her up?" Dammit, they're gone! * Peter checks on Maria. Rei, what happened? * Chomei looks for who did this after Peter starts checking on Maria. * Maria groans. "'Malright." Who? 2d6 ~I'm sorry, this shouldn't have happened, it's all my fault, maybe if I did something else or didn't chase them or maybe if I stopped Maria from pulling on the rope...~ She's babbling, oh yes she is. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (2d6) and gets 7. * Peter stops the bleeding, but that's about all. What happened? * Maria gets shakily to her feet. "only hurts when I breathe." Rei! Calm down! Look, she's up. * Peter looks at Maria. "We're getting you back to my van right now. You're badly hurt." * Lazar turns to Maria. "You all right walking, or need me to carry?" * Maria blinks. "Nice trick. And it was more thieves. They didn't break in, since they were talking about how nice it was everything was down." * SpiritRei blinks. ~She's up. She's up! Wait. She's up.~ ~Sit back down, Maria! You don't wanna hurt anything!~ * Chomei blinks. "What?" Girl in green, wannabe blonde in red pants. Bastard had katanas. Wasn't bad with 'em, either. Lazar, Chomei, Chie, can you stop those thevies? I've got to get Maria back to the van. Well, crap. As if everything wasn't complicated enough already. I'm tempted to just get the hell out of here and leave the stupid spirit. * Lazar growls. "... I rip off their arms and feed them to wolves. WHich way?" * Chomei cracks his knuckles. "I don't think we have a choice in this." Wait, they're still here? * Maria points to the skylight. "Good luck catchin' 'em, boys. But I think they're gone." Rei, can you show them the way? If they are, they're dead meat. ~They already got away. I screwed up again and didn't undo the rope.~ There's a pause. ~I'm sorry.~ ... we no split up no more, I think. * Retrieving #besm info... * Chie lets out an angry breath. "S'okay, Rei. Don't think any of us were expecting this." Not your fault Rei. It was the spur of the moment. * Peter peers at Lazar. "We can't keep Maria with us. She's hurt enough as is." * Maria shakes her head as if to clear it. "Don't worry about it, Rei." Yeah, don't let it get ya down. I just hope Maria isn't hurt too badly. * Sonny is now known as Sonny|Sleeping|HnGMADNESS ... not now, Peter. For future. 'Lbe fine. * SpiritRei whirls on Maria. ~Are you crazy? You're going back to the van, even if I have to carry you! More like drag. But whatever. You're not going after any old spirit. It'll kill you!~ Good idea. Rei's right, you're beat up way too badly. * Maria tries to stare Rei down, but has a hard time of it, what with the invisibility and all. "...fine. Back to the van." ~And if I'm out of the way, then Chie can ward the whole room. No problems.~ * Chie nods. * Demota is now known as DemoX-Com I'll take Maria back to the van. I'm not much of a fighter anyhow. * Chomei nods. "Alright, we'll take care of whatever it is we need to take care of." I can make it on my own, Peter. ~I'll go with Maria. I'm even less of a fighter. They'll need your extreme ghostly knowledge anyway, prof.~ Maybe, but if the spirit decides to ambush you, I can .. well.. maybe I can distract him by.. uh.. yelling a lot. * Peter peers at Rei.. or as best he can. "Okay. If anything should happen, come running quick." * Maria chuckles. "Appreciate the thought." * Maria winces, since chuckling hurts. ~Gotcha. I'm good at running. Let's go.~ We make this quick. Pretend spirit theives. Be careful. Take care. * SpiritRei helps Maria out of the room. * Chie puts her sword away and pulls out a ward. "So. Let's do this." She looks as serious as anyone's seen her. ( Outside, Maria and Rei get in the van. Then it's eaten by Godzilla :P ) ( ;_; ) (Yummy) (Darn, again? ;_;) (Accursed kaiju!) Okay... Where do we need to go again? The tomb of the German king. * Chomei nods, "How do we get there though?" * Chie pulls out her map. "Two rooms over that way." She points east. Let us go. * Mina|Away is now known as Schminable Let's move. * Chie describes tactics as she walks. Guys. * Chomei follows Chie. Yeah? I'm gonna ward the doors first, then the remaining wall. Once the spirit shows up, I'm gonna try exorcising it. Like the prof said, it can still attack. So cover me. Please. Alright, but I don't know how much cover I'd be able to provide. Watch out for yourselves, too. *follows'n stuff* I am cover, remember? * Chomei looks back. "Oh yeah, how could I forget." Yeah, Laz. I'm countin' on that. She smiles a little. (ergh. that last part should be an action) (sigh... typing skills are always the first to go ;p) (gives Chie a type-up.) Just stay behind me, little one. I smash spirit like thing which gets smashed. [Inside, the room looks like the tomb of some German guy. Recreated, though the artifacts are real.] How does a spirit look when it's smashed? Bad. [It comes complete with a sarcophagus] * Chie immediately turns around and sticks a ward to the doorframe of the entrance they just came in. She whispers a few words, it glows, and she removes her hand. Oh. It's here. Where? Right near the sarcophagus. * Chie hurries over to the north entrance and pulls out another ward. * Chomei looks, but doesn't see anything. * Lazar follows Chie around the room. [Chie slaps the ward on the north enterence just as the tiger appears pearched on the sarcophogus.] * Chie finishes applying that one, then heads over to the east wall. [It roars. Everyone roll init.] * Peter aims at the tiger. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (d6+7) and gets 9. * Schminable is now known as Minaku 2d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (2d6+6) and gets 11. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (d6+6) and gets 10. ( Sorry. ) d6+7 d6+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (d6+7) and gets 9. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (d6+8) and gets 9. ( bah. ) (Blah is right.) * Minaku is now known as Schminable [Peter, Tiger, Chie, Lazar, Chomei] [Peter's turn] * SpiritRei is now known as Rei * Peter aims with his crossbow at the adorable tiger-chan, and fires a blessed bolt at it. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (2d6-3) and gets 5. ( Made it. ) [Peter fires, but the tiger leaps over the bolt with amazing agility. Presumeably, it's leaping for him, but Lazar's in the way, so... Lazar needs a defense roll] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 6. (Nope.) * Schminable is now known as Schneeble [Lazar gets scratched, and amazingly, it SHOWS.] * Lazar grunts. [Chie's turn] * Chie extends her hands and chants. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-3) and gets 2. *A white light extends from Chie's hands, striking the ground underneath the tiger and forming a circle. [With that, the tiger seems more corporeal. Lazar's turn] (LAZAR SMASH!) * Lazar throws a right hook at the tiger. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 7. ( Woo! Go Lazar Go! ) (Hit. Barely.) [Lazar makes good use of Chie's abilityu to let him actually hurt the thing, and socks the tiger in the kisser.] [Chomei's turn] * Chomei aims at the tiger and fires an energy bolt at the big cat. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 6. (Hit) [Chomei's bolt strikes the tiger.] [Peter's turn] * Peter fires again. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (2d6-3) and gets 5. [This time Peter hits, lodging a blessed bolt in the tiger just above it's hind leg.] [Tiger's turn] [The tiger looks like it would LOVE to get at Peter. But Lazar's still in the way, so it slashes at him again.] (Defense?) ( Yeah. Sorry ^^ ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 5. (Made it.) [Lazar bats the tiger's attack aside this time.] [Chie's turn] * Chie continues chanting. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-3) and gets 4. [Chieko keeps it up. The tiger's starting to look pretty annoyed at this by now.] * Cait`Sith has quit IRC (Quit: New Game? Continue? ) [Lazar's turn] * Lazar tries for an overhand right this time. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 7. (Another barely hit. ^_^;;) (S'okay. A hit's a hit. Unless it's a critical. But that's another matter entirely. ;p) [The tiger nimbly hops to the side, avoiding being pounded.] ( Could be worse. You could be Gwen. ) (Gwen?) [Chomei's turn] (Gwen?) ( Mecha? You wanna tell them about Gwen? ) * Chomei aims at the tiger and unloads another shot at it. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 6. (*WONK* OW! *WONK* OW! *WONK* Who keeps putting these lampposts here!) (Another hit.) [Chomei sends another bolt into the tiger. It's starting to tire.] [Peter's turn] * Peter fires again, thankful for the lovely protection of his rocky ward. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (2d6-3) and gets 2. [Peter puts another bolt in the tiger. It looks really unhappy now, so it turns and leaps at Chie, who's the main reason it can be hit in the first place.] (It can't attack me. I'm exorcising it.) [Luckily for Chie, it misses, landing next to her.] ( Normally, spirits can't ^^ ) (But it missed, so that's a moot point. ;p) ( You forgot that this one's different ^_^ ) (Remember, he said this one could.) (Oh, right. *^^*) (I have no brain. Really.) [Chie's turn] ( None of us do, tonight. ^_^ ) (Sure you do. It's just a waffle made with name brand syrup right now.) * Chie keeps with the exorcising. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-3) and gets 4. (Well, at least it's name brand. I'd hate for it to be generic syrup.) (Hope it's not the no-sugar kind.) [The exorcising looks like it's going well. The tiger seems like it's straining to keep itself on earth.] [Lazar's turn] * Schneeble is now known as Minaku * Minaku has quit IRC (Quit: ) * Lazar steps towards the tiger, trying to put himself between it and Chie, and tries to field-goal-kick it. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 8. (...) (Dicey doesn't like you today, does he?) (He must've forgotten the bribe.) [Lazar's foot passes over the tiger. He should really stop trying these upward-swinging motions.] [Chomei's turn] (Golems apparently don't play football, either.) * Chomei shoots again at the tiger. (Guess not.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 6. (Hit) (Golems are made of the earth. Thus, they should not aim for the sky. =P) [Chomei's the lucky on of the night. He hasn't missed yet, and sticks another bolt in the weary-looking tiger.] (So you pound them into the ground instead?) (*smacks Lazar*) [Peter's turn] * Peter fires another bolt. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (2d6-3) and gets 5. ( Wow. Another 5. ) (I think the Dice are adding up to eight a bit too much tonight.) * MarkPoa has joined #besm [Peter launches another bolt into the tiger. It looks like it can't take much more, but makes a swipe at Lazar anyhow.] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 0, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "I wish I got to hand out more of these, really." (Woo!) (Heh...) (I think he did remember that bribe) [Lazar just pounds it into the ground, and it doesn't get back up.] [The body eventually disappates into nothingness.] * Lazar runs his fingers across the gouges left in his chest. "Sharp claws." Amazing. * Chie stops chanting and exhales. * Chomei blinks. "Did we just do that?" Whew. Good work, guys. You okay, Laz? Indeed we did. And yeah, Chomei, that was us. * Peter walks over to Lazar. "Are you okay? Will.. those heal?" Okay. Golem no feel much pain. Will heal... with time. Part of magiks. * Chomei walks over to the rest of the group. Good. Good to hear. Shall we leave now? * Chomei looks at the marks. "Wow, the kitty did a number on ya." If not, I buy spackle. ( A character who can't heal. That'd prolly be about 6 points in defects @_@ ) * Kirby has quit IRC (Quit: ) Yeah, I think we should. * Chie quickly walks over to the north door and whispers a few words. The ward comes off. ( More like 10. @_@ ) ( 6? Jesus. More like 1.. yeah. ) Let's see how Maria's doing. (Yeah, if not more.) * Chie removes the ward from the west door as well. * Lazar grins at Chie. "Price of good cover." (err, Chomei, even) ( Woo. We almost done? I'm starting to get tired. ) Heh, I bet. ( Yeah. We can stop now if you like ) You'll be okay, though, right? * Chie looks back at the others. "Thanks, Laz." I be fine. Like I say, Golem no feel much pain. Just... makes me tired. Let's head out, then. I think even I'm gonna turn in early tonight. I agree, that was definetly an adreniline rush. ( Shall I call it an end? ) (Sure.) (No problem to end it here.) (Okay.)
