[Day: Wednsday, July 7th. Time: 8:00 p.m.] [You're on your way to take down one Ricardo Kalifornia. Just one. There probably only is one anyhow. You gather in the hotel lobby! Except for Chie. She tried one of the local dishes, Marinated Sea Urchin, which didn't agree with her.] [Session Start!] * Asanjya is flipping through a paperback. Again. One-handed, too, how talented. In her other hand is her staff, and her hair is waving agitately despite the lack of breeze. * Maria is there, not looking around since she cased this place back when the group first arrived here. Doing it a second time would be redundant. * Rei isn't there! At least, she doesn't look like she's there. * Rei is now known as SpiritRei * Chomei comes down after talking to Chie. "So, what's up?" * SpiritRei is actually there, only in astral form. And since Chie isn't, none of you can see her. Bwahaha! She's floating in the air. ~We're off to see the wizard, Chomei! Did you bring presents?~ * Maria looks around for people listening in on the conversation. Then she looks worried. "Wait, he's a wizard too?" * Mechalink has joined #besm ~I hope not!~ ... Right. _ * SpiritRei spins, looking around. ~Lazar, where aaaare you?~ If you keep making that face, Chomei, it will stick that way. *flip* * Lazar looks around a large potted plant. "Right here." * Chomei raises an eyebrow. * Maria blinks. "Lazar, were you trying to be sneaky?" ~Oh, there you are. Had me worried for a moment. Thought it was one of those Albanian Rock Eating plants. Everyone ready to wreak some havoc?~ * Lazar lumbers back to the rest of the group. "No really. Hotel gift shop back there. Have slinkies." Two question before go. * Maria grins. "Havoc works." One: Think need change plan at all since little one seeing her food again, or do same plan? And two: Is little one going to meet us at plane, or we need come pick her up when done? ~Same plan sounds like a good plan. And it depends on how she's feeling. Hopefully, it won't be too much of an issue. She's got the communication device, so contacting her won't be trouble.~ * Chomei nods. * Asanjya turns the page. * Lazar nods. "Only ask because, if try keep subtle when going back to airport, no going be easy carrying around no concious werewolf." * Maria nods. ... which is other good reason why we doing this at night. ~Okay! Now is everybody ready?~ We could put him in a big sack... but that'd be even worse, really. Disguising a werewolf is no big issue. I'm not, yet. I gotta go change. Ah. Into sneaky suit? ( "No, into my swimsuit. Don't you know that swimsuits are best for dangerous covert missions?" "..." ) Yeah. I'm already wearing most of it, but I wanna get out of my street clothes and into something that covers my face and hands. Old habit. I'm off to do that. Rei, meet me on top of the hotel when it's time to go. Good luck. * Maria turns and trots off to her room! ~Yeah, okay! You guys know how to get there, right? I think I told you.~ (Please say yes so I don't have to make stuff up. ;P) * Lazar nods. Yeah, let's get going. ( We'll assume you did. =P ) * Asanjya turns the page and nods. * SpiritRei sits in the air thoughtfully. ~Well, wait five minutes, then move out. Maria should be done by then, so we should have a bit of a head start. We'll meet you there, then get a few minutes lead on you going in. Make sure everyone's got those earpieces.~ Already got mine set. Same. Also. ~Okay! See you there!~ * SpiritRei goes up! Straight up, through ceilings to the roof. * Will is now known as Skerrit ... right. So, you both know plan for when find guys with guns, yes? ( Smash, bash, snarl, kill? ) * Asanjya turns the page. "Hide behind you, if I remember right." Hide behind you and disable the gunmen. * Chomei shrugs. Yes and no. (Someone is reading 8-bit theater here...) Guns can hurt you. No so much me. So, in fight against gun people, best if both you find cover, shoot magic or arrows from there, while I hit repeatedly. ( Not me... ) If no can find cover to shoot from... think should find place hide, let golem take care of. Not appreciably different from our normal battle tactics. Is bit, yes. Normally, all little ones stay in battle zone, try help out. Which good. But here, if more than couple people with guns... I think better little ones hide and no fight than fight and risk get shot. I believe we all know what we're getting into. May we get on with it? *flip* * Lazar shrugs. "But I no in position to give orders. Just recommend." * Asanjya closes the book and tucks it away. "Has it been five minutes, yet?" Close enough. ... Right. 2d6 * Diceroshi throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6) and gets 6. 2d6+2 * Diceroshi throws the bones for Maria (2d6+2) and gets 8. 2d6+4 * Diceroshi throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6+4) and gets 16, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Death is temporary, only failure is forever. You may have just done both." * Asanjya stretches. "Then let's be on our way, shall we?" (ew.) * Chomei checks his watch. 5 minutes pass yet, GM? (Aww yeah, this is off to a good start.) * Lazar heads for the door. Once outside, in the darkness, his illusion shifts, his casual 'tropical clothes' being replaced by a dark-grey t-shirt, black cargo pants, and black sneakers. * Asanjya follows, her hair adjusting into a tighter bun. The demon inside squeaks a little. * Chomei goes along all sneaky-like. ( You walking? It's about 1.5 miles. ) (Are there cabs? <_<) ( Yep ) ( And a railway ) * Asanjya looks around for a cab to hail, and does so if one is evident. [One just happens to be there! It pulls up and stops by you. "G'day mate." It's an Australian guy, apparently.] * Asanjya opens the door and waits for Chomei and Lazar. * Lazar pops into the back seat. * Chomei gets in! "Where too, love?" * Asanjya slips into the front seat and eyes the driver. "The house of Ricardo Kalifornia." She doesn't dignify the rest with a response, and returns her gaze forward. * Chomei don't give a damn. "Woah, hold on, love. You're gunna need to get yourselves another cab. I ain't goin' there." ( Asanjya. Mistress of stealth and subtlety. ) Are you quite certain? 2d6-2 * Diceroshi throws the bones for Maria (2d6-2) and gets 8. 2d6 * Diceroshi throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6) and gets 9. (...) "You bet. Look at him funny and he'll hunt down yer entire family." I assure you, you will have no problems once you convey us to his house. If you refuse, we will merely have to convince you. "Hey, I'm not trying t' be rude or anything, but I got a wife and two kids. Crikey, I can't go gettin' my head blown off. " "How about I just drop you off some place next to the house, eh?" As close as you dare. Time is of the essence. "You bet, love." He starts to drive. "So, what do kids like you want with a guy like that, anyhow? Don't tell me you're gonna work for him." Of course not. * Maria comes in over your earpieces, saying quietly, "Three guards spotted, guys." * Lazar grunts in acknowledgement. * The guy drives on. "Yeah? Well, you just be careful, then." He stops eventually. "Here ya go. The processin' facilities are close to it." * Maria comes on again, adding "Two on the lower floor, one on the upper floor, left wing. That's where I'm starting." * Lazar turns to the others. "Who want pay?" 2d6 * Diceroshi throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6) and gets 11. [The guy waits.] ( Rei fails her paying the cabbie roll! ) [He also announces the cab fare.] (Pfah, cabbie?) * Asanjya pays the poor sap and gets out. * Lazar follows. [You're outside the processing facilities. Not far from there, you can see the lagoon. And on the other side of that, the mannor.] * Lazar waits for Chomei to get outta the cab... ( Chomei's been eaten by the cabbie! ) 2d6-2 * Diceroshi throws the bones for Maria (2d6-2) and gets 5. * Chomei gets out of the cab and looks around. [You're near a big factory.] ... right. So there big house. No think can just knock and get let in. Doubtful. We'd better find another entrance.\ Well, I can make place to enter. But it be kind of loud. Let's find an alternate entrance. (You should go to the house so you can get your enterance. ^_~) * Lazar nods, and heads for... THE HOUSE. * Asanjya follows! * Chomei HEADS TO HOUSE! [You eventually reach the house.] [The Kalifornia residence has a Mexican appearance, but seems like it's built like a British or French mannor. It's got two wings connecting at a large foyer. The entrence to the foyer has marble stairs leading up to large glass doors; at the bottoms of the stairs are two sculptures of some old Roman people you probably never heard of.] [There's six windows per floor, per wing. The house itself is well lit.] * Lazar whispers into the communicator thingee. "Still in left wing? Any sign of werewolf person?" * Asanjya looks around. "Pity we cannot just move in when he is gone." Well, on TV, when police take bad-guy stuff, they auction off. Maybe can buy? Perhaps. ( *Looks back in* Come on, Laz. You KNOW Maria's gonna steal everything she can carry. Possibly with your help. ) * Chie comes on over the communicator, quietly. ~Hey, guys. How's it going? Got room for one more?~ 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6-2) and gets 4. * Chomei responds. ~Sure. Boring as hell down here right now.~ ~Well, can't let you guys start the party without me. I'm on my way.~ 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-4) and gets -1. * Asanjya folds her arms. (You people *are* lame. Converse or something so you can move time along and I can show up. ^_~) * Chomei idly looks bored. * Asanjya glances over at Chomei. She looks bored, and less idly so. ( So... have I told joke where Rabbi goes into a-- Yes. ...right. ) (Hehe.) * Chomei shrugs. Have you ... read any good books lately? Nope. (So... let me know when I can show up, because god knows these people need help. ;p) I see. [Chie shows up!] * Chomei checks his watch and looks around for a Chie to show up. Hello, Chie. Hey Chie. What took you so long? * Maria comes in over the communicators, saying quietly "Goon on top floor down. Checking the place out." * Chie waves. "Hey, guys. Getting a cab around here is nigh-impossible." Tell me about it. * Chie replies. ~Gotcha. Just let us know when and where you need us.~ * Chie stretches. "Glad I haven't missed the ass-kicking." Yeah, that'd be a shame. Because I swear, it feels like forever since I've had a good fight, and I know that's not true. Yes. I fear I'm a little stressed, as well. * Chomei nods. "We're about due for another round." * Chie looks way too eager to kick someone's ass. This is, apparently, what she's choosing to focus on rather than any lingering traces of sickness she might feel. * Asanjya taps her staff on the ground impatiently. Definitely need some stress relief, although doin' the touristy thing earlier wasn't half-bad. Although the locals are pretty quiet. Having your very own druglord in residence kinda dampens most social situations. * Chomei nods. So what were you guys talkin' about before I got here? Chomei's wasteland of literary knowledge. Nothing and my lack of reading. In that order. (My way's better.) * Chie laughs. "Aww. You really haven't read anything, Chomei?" Haven't had the time to recently. You know that. Yeah, yeah. Well, if you ever wanna borrow some of mine, you're welcome too. Though a good part of it's in English. * Chomei smirks. "I've been learning." I know! You're comin' along pretty well. You should really develop the skill of reading while walking. * Chie grins. * Chie considers this. "Except I generally drive, not walk, and I talk while I walk, so I'd have to read while I talked and walked, and that might be a little too much division of my attention." (A run-on sentence worthy of Rei. She'd be so proud!) * Chomei nods. "I really don't see how that would be particularly helpful." I've increased my throughput of books by three times since I picked up the skill. Yeah, but are you actually enjoying them, or just getting through them? [The lights in the left upper wing go out.] ( Gimme awareness checks. ) Whoa, hold on a sec. ( Sight ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 9. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-4) and gets 5. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (2d6) and gets 8. I certainly a... hmm. Wonder what that's about? Think we should contact the others, or would that blow their cover? 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6) and gets 10. Waiting is perhaps the best option. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-2) and gets 8. * Chomei glances up. "Mmm... Don't know. Hope it's nothing important." Right, right. * Chie drums her fingers against her leg. * Chie eyes the house again. * Chomei glances around again. "I hate waiting." * Chie smirks. "Never woulda guessed, Chomei." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6) and gets 12, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "If I go crazy, will you still call me Superman?" (;_;) But still... I trust them, but I'm kinda nervous. (So, now that we're dead...) * Asanjya taps her staff again. * Chomei rolls his shoulders. Argh. Part of me wants to go in there and find out what the hell's goin' on, but the other part's reminding me that that could very well make things worse. I'm developing common sense and some self-control. Wonders will never cease. * Chie winks. * Chomei chuckles. "Better late than never, hmm?" What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. Although considering everything we've been through, I oughtta be at Laz's level by now. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-4) and gets 1. * Asanjya 's hair twitches. "I would be lying if I did not agree that I am antsy." If it was *really* something wrong, then they'd yell into the communicators. Or somethin' like that? Right? Right. * Chomei doesn't add an ellipse. Nope nope nope. ( Gimme sight checks! ) * Chie sighs and looks up at the building again. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-4) and gets 1. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 5. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (2d6) and gets 10. [Chomei and Chie see the other guard in the foyer draw a gun and start up the stairs.] ... Think we should head in? Or at least check up on them? * Chie looks at the others. "Guard's on the move. I think that's our cue to move in." * Asanjya nods. (Now what do we do about Lazar?) (Turn him into a baked potato?) ( Another sight check! ) 2d6 * Chomei summons Rownal. "Hey Lazar. Game face." * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (2d6) and gets 10. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 1. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-4) and gets 5. Hold on, guys. Got another one coming. Outta the right wing, heading for the foyer. * Asanjya frowns. * RDMgryphon has joined #besm * Chie watches to see where this one ends up. [He stops at the bottom of the foyer and calls up to them guy on top.] We should kill him. I thought we were going for the less messy approach. I have a hunch messiness has become inherent in the procedure. * Chomei peers at the figure. Is there any way to get a clear shot from here? I dunno. I'm actually leaning towards just KO'ing them. [It's far and through glass, but you can hit him.] Then do it, before he leaves our sight. I can take him down from here. * Maria comes over the communicator. "Two guards down, two more left." ~Might be one coming your way. With a gun. Be careful. We're tryin' to take care of another one down here in the foyer.~ * Chie looks at Chomei. "And taking down involves...?" I'll aim for the legs. Okay. You got a clear shot? * Chomei draws his bow and starts to line up a shot. "By the way, the secrecy we're enjoying will be gone. Shooting through glass will do that. You okay with that?" (Note: Get a phase arrow.) There will be one guard left according to Maria. We will be fine. * Chie draws her sword. "Okay. Guess it's showtime." * Chomei 's bow cackles with electricity as he fires the arrow for the mook's legs. If *anything*, it'll distract the attention away from Maria and Rei. ( Mmm... Make it a +1 ) (Including or not including called-shot?) ( Not including ) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-4) and gets 3. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-1) and gets 9. [The electric arrow flies through and shatters a glass window, but the impact causes it to fall short of the guard.] * Chomei curses. That won't do. Aww, dammit. Time for plan B. [Roll init whilst I describe] d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (d6+7) and gets 8. d6+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (d6+8) and gets 14. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (d6+6) and gets 11. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (d6+6) and gets 11. [Also, emerging from a room on the left wing there's one more guard and another guy in a brown suit. The latter is balding, has a mustache and is kind of overweight.] ( Mets were up 8-1, so I left after the 7th. HA HA SONNY. =P ) d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (d6+8) and gets 14. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (d6+7) and gets 12. ( Tied with Chomei! ) (Grrr!) [Order is Chomei, Maria, Lazar, Brownsuit, Rei, Asanjya, MiB1, Chie, MiB2, MiB3] [The guards haven't yet spotted you; they take up defensive positions.] [Chomei's turn!] * Chomei takes a defensive position behind some cover and lines up another shot. A gust of wind swirls around his bow as he fires another arrow at the guard, this one designed to take out the guard's shoulder, and with it any chance he has of firing properly. He fires, the white arrow flying forth with a visible tailwind. ( +2 this time ) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-4) and gets 0. [The arrow strikes the guard in the shoulder, causing him to nearly drop his gun.] [Maria's turn!] * Maria pokes her head out of one of the rooms on the upper floor, likely unnoticed. Who does she see? [Maria sees the guard who had come to check on her hurrying down the stairs.] * Maria bounds out of the room, into the foyer, and tries to tag the back of his head with a punch. ( This, too, is a called shot. ) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-4) and gets 1. [Down he goes.] [Lazar's turn] ( It'll take a round for anyone who wants to melee to get in range ) ( Or for ranged attackers to be able to get clear shots ) * Lazar is here! Really! To prove it, he charges forward at the guards, hoping to get and keep their attention! (So he charges forward and into the door... aren't we on the second floor?) [The guy in the brown suit changes! Into the ugliest warewolf you've ever seen. But, he's still a werewolf.] ( You are. All the guards save the one Maria dropped were not. ) * Chie looks around. "Okay, did that surprise anyone?" (Well, he does sell drugs.) * Maria wants to say 'no', but she's busy remaining stealthy. [Rei's turn] (Besides, Maria probly isn't close enough to hear?) ~Going down the stairs, Maria! I think there's more trouble. At the very least, I'm pretty sure I saw Lazar running outside.~ * SpiritRei goes straight through the center of the floor. So much for stairs. What's she see? [The back of the stairs.] * SpiritRei goes through the stairs then? [Rei sees two guards (one with an injured shoulder) and a rather pudgy werewolf.] ~Time for a little confusatory confusion! Release the rainbow peanuts!~ * SpiritRei makes an underhanded throw at the uninjured guard. Nope. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6-1) and gets 7. [Asanjya's turn!] (Do I see Rei now?) ( Chie sees Rei! ) ( Quick, shoot it! ) (Augh! Oh wait. I won't care.) (I am not amused.) (... You sure about that?) * Chie relaxes a little when she sees Rei arrive. * Asanjya starts her chanting! [MiB1's turn! He shoots the nose off a bust of Albert Einstein.] [Chie's turn] (Defilier of physicists! You shall pay for that!) (It'll come out of his salary.) * Chie starts heading in, making sure that she's still able to use Lazar as cover. [MiB2 shoots at Lazar, but hits the floor.] (MiB2's the injured one?) ( Yeah ) [Chomei's turn!] (Can I see anymore MiBs?) ( 2! ) * Chomei aims for MiB1 and fires a simple energy bolt at the guard's gun-hand. Afterwards, he gets behind the cover again. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 0, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "Fight! For everlasting love and peace!" [Ew. Chomei's shot connect's the guard's hand with the gun with the wall.] (I would say that's effective disarming.) [Maria's turn!] (And he's still alive. Mostly.) * Maria springs at the remaining mook, punches him across the back of the head (called blah blah blah), and then leaps up to the cieling. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-4) and gets 6. [And he goes down too. Only the werewolf's left now.] (Wow, those mooks were really... mookish!) [Lazar's turn!] ( They didn't even have defense rolls :P ) * Chomei calls over the comm. ~Werewolves can take anything not silver, right?~ * Lazar is still here! Really! To further prove it, he keeps on charging at, and hopefully through, the werewolf with a running forearm shiver. (Golem Rage) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets 8. ( ... DR! ) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets 4. (Getting Laz DR was the best use of a CP ever. ;p) ( Rassa frassin'... ) [Wham! Lazar collides with the were wolf, sending it through the back wall.] * Maria hopes there wasn't anything expensive on that wall. [It gets up, though, and charges! ... past him. (Body roll + speed modifiers to stop him if you want, Laz)] 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6+2) and gets 12. [The wolf zips past Lazar, towards Chie! Def roll, Chie!] (See, Lazzie shouldn't complain about me spending some time in his body!) (Why is it always me? ;_;) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 9. [Chie is surprised by the werewolf's sudden approach, and gets slashed across her stomach with its claws.] [Rei's turn!] (Great. Now Chie has contracted ANOTHER disease.) (Or, wait, no. Only natural lycanthropes can spread the curse. My bad. ^^;) ( Who says he's not natural? :P ) * Chie gets slashed and snarls back at him. "Oh, now you're gonna get it." ( And it's only spread via bite, I think. ) (I believe it's bite.) (Depends on what lore you go by, actually.) (Can we go by the lore that *doesn't* end in my getting lycanthropy?) ( Good plan! ) (Works for me!) * SpiritRei turns from her position half in the stairs. ~He sure is. Dancing posy parsnips!~ She makes another toss, this one at the werewolf. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6-1) and gets 5. ( But werewolf Chie is fun ;_; ) [Asanjya's turn!] * Asanjya busts loose with a Gripping Ring, probably boring the werewolf to sleep! (Werewolf chibby-Chie can chase baby Thalan. :P) ( Dammit, I just shaved my legs, and now this!) ( What are you doing with those chains, Chomei? It's not a full moon tonight. <_< >_> ) (... Right.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (2d6-2) and gets 5. [The werewolf gets gripped! He doesn't look happy about that.] [Chie's turn!] Have at him, Chie. ("Have at you!" "Gesundheit!") Having at. * Chie swings the flat of her blade at the werewolf's head, intending to KO him, although she definitely goes full-force. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-3) and gets 5. [Wham! He gets a headache, but is still up!] [Chomei's turn!] * Chomei pops out and takes a shot at the creature's shoulder. Mmm, non-lethal damage. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 7. [That's enough, and it loses consciousness.] * Maria blinks. "What, that's it?" * Lazar looks around. Any metal poles/fence bars he could wrap around the werewolf? * Maria hops down to the werewolf, and checks his pockets, if his clothes weren't shredded by his transformation. * Chie goes out of her fighting stance and puts her free hand on her stomach. "Okay. One KO'ed werewolf, as promised." Do not look the proverbial gift horse in the mouth. Want me to stick a ward on him? [Lazar doesn't really find anything that would bend without breaking.] ~Keep knocking him out as he regains consciousness. Let's see what he's got.~ * SpiritRei starts rifling through the guy's pockets. I'll ask you to tell me what that means later, Asanjya. Right now we've got a mansion to loot. * Chomei makes his way up to where the werewolf is. "So, this it?" Lazar, maybe you should sit on his face so he doesn't get up. I can do what did last time with werewolf. Hold in bear hug, headbutt whenever regain senses. [Neither Maria and Rei find much in his pockets. He's got some keys and a wallet full of money (although it's Nauruan money, so they aren't sure of its value), and what looks like a Rolex but is actually a Dakota.] ( ...Nauru has it's own currency? @_@ ) * Chie reaches into her bag and pulls out one of her wards with a chain. It's silver, of course. The orb must be somewhere. * SpiritRei oohs at the wallet and checks his ID. (XD) ... or could chop off legs with non-silver sword. No be fatal, since no silver, and eventually heal. ( Cavity search ) (...) ( ... ) (. . .) ( ^_^ ) ( ... Dem, I'm so proud. ;_; ) ( *hits Demo across the back of the head (called shot to KO)* ) * Chie dangles the ward in one hand. "I think he needs accessorizing. What about you guys?" Definetly. Sure. I'm gonna go look for the orb. * Maria hops back up to the second floor and starts checking rooms for valuables! Oh, and orbs. ... so which it be? Bear hug and repeat KO, or no legs? The first one, Laz. * Chie walks over to the werewolf and drapes the ward around his neck. "But this can't hurt. Well, it can't hurt us." * SpiritRei checks for an orb on him. ~Wait for me!~ * SpiritRei zips after Maria. * Chie examines her wound. "He got me, but it doesn't look horrible. I'll get Rei to look at it when she comes back." * Lazar nods, pulls the werewolf out of the stony hold into a bear hug, pauses, then headbutts it a few times, just to make sure it stays out for a while. ( Gimme a burglary (safe-cracking) roll, Maria ) * Maria sees a safe! And pulls out a stethoscope, taking off her mask and comm unit so she can insert the listening end to her ears. ... bit of a sissy werewolf. Too much fat, too little hunger. * Chomei glances over at Chie's wound. "You'd better not have contracted lycanthrope." he says in an even tone. 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-6) and gets 1. [Maria cracks the safe, finding money and a weird orb thing.] * SpiritRei looks over Maria's shoulder. ~Ooh, that must be it. That's gotta be it!~ * Chie looks at Chomei. "But that's only if he bit me, right?" Besides, you guys didn't save me from death by wyvern venom and then vamprisim only to have me get lycanthropy. It's just not gonna work that way. Only by bite. See? Laz'd know these things. Yeah, I think it is only contracted through biting. Still... maybe we should get bellodonna. Some strands of Lycanthrope do transfer through claws as well. * Chie had started to look rather worried for a second there, though. So you no going be furry unless you decide no shave for long time. * Lazar shakes head. "Is myth. Only through bite." * Chie snickers. Well, just to be safe... I oughtta get the wound cleaned regardless. ( Chie dies of Yellow Fever ;_; ) (Huh?) (We haven't fought the... no. Not going there. ;p) * Chomei raises an eyebrow at Lazar. "I do know what I'm talking about, you know. It certainly isn't as common, but it can happen via a claw wound." I live in Transylvania. We have were-sheep. I know what talking about too. Boys, boys. I'm afraid I have to throw in with Chomei. Not all the world is Transylvanian. ...you know, you are *not* makin' me feel any better. * Lazar headbutts the werewolf a coupla times, just to be safe. "Thankfully." * Chie looks over at Chomei. "So you said belladona? How hard's that to get?" * Chomei smiles sheepishly. "Sorry, let's get that wound cleaned up." ( WERE-sheepishly? ) * Chie smiles back at him. "S'okay. I know you're worried about me, and I appreciate your concern." * SpiritRei returns. ~Maria found the orb! The safe didn't look too hard to crap. Those are some nasty marks you got there, Chie.~ She floats over and lays a hand on Chie's stomach, a glow appearing and healing her wound. If we have the orb, we should leave. Thanks, Rei. Belladona's pretty common. It's known for its ability to cure lycanthropes, despite being mildly toxic... Most shops that deal in supernatural hunting should have it. Does it look okay? Okay, so we'll go talk to that Moe guy when we get back and pick up some. * Maria takes the money and stuffs it in her sack, and brings the orb down to show the others, grinning. * SpiritRei gives a thumbs up and a grin. ~Sure, no problem!~ By now, I should have built up an immunity to everything. Except sea urchin. That stuff was nasty, and I'm not sure what possessed me to try it. Of course, we could find out right now if you're furry since we technically have the orb. ...that's not literal, by the way. * Chie grins back at Maria. "All right!" * SpiritRei zips over to the guy with a hole in his hand, and heals up the hole, too. Because those are annoying. Way to go, Maria! * Chie looks at Chomei. "I'm sorry, what?" * Chomei chuckles. "Let's just get out of here. Don't overdo it Rei, I did shoot to wound, not kill... Oh, the orb allows transformations at will by lycanthropes, right Asanjya?" * Chomei shakes his head. "Forget I ever brought it up. We wouldn't want to use it anyways." * SpiritRei makes sure the guy's hand is healed, but not the bump on his head; he's still knocked out. That's the way it works. So it'd be an instant test as to whether or not I'm okay. * Lazar headbutts the werewolf a few more times for good measure. He's looking like he's enjoying this just a bit. Out of here first, then we play with the orb? Yes. Sure. Despite Lazar's manhandling of the subject, we still might encounter other resistance. I'd rather not. * Chomei heads out! Raaah! Wow, we were actually badass for once. Will wonders never cease? * Maria holds out the orb. "Now, someone take this so I can go back to looting this place." ~Sure thing! Lemme pick up my body on the way back.~ Invigorating as this fight was. * Chie snags the orb. One down, one to go. Let us hope the other goes as smoothly. * Maria goes back to looting! Loot loot loot. *headbutts every coupla minutes* * Chie is waiting until they're in a safe spot to mess with the orb. [Session End!]
