[Day: Thursday, Oct. 11th. Time: 10:00 p.m.] [Togo is missing! To find him you'll have to travel around the world jumping on koopas to find stolen monuments and historical junk, in a lameass SNES adven-- wait, that's not right.] (Thank christ for that, my calves can only stand so much jumping.) [Togo is missing! He was on his way to see a mysterious woman at the club Dancing Fiend when he was kidnapped by a bunch of women from Covenant. Fortunately, the client is miffed about him missing thier appointment and has provided you with the location of one of their headquarters.] [So after a long road trip, you reach the coastal city Brighton, where Togo is presumably being held. The Covenant HQ is supposedly within the Church of Saint Peter, a building located at the end of a dead end street.] * Pocky-kun (Pocky-kun@ACB836CC.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Ping timeout) [You can see from the intersection, despite it being up a hill and night time. The lights keep the street bright. But it doesn't look like there's parking there.] [Anyhow, session start] (Did we all pile in the van, sigh?) ( I don't know >.> ) (AIYAH.) * Pocky-kun (Shinobinez@ACB836CC.ipt.aol.com) has joined #besm (If peopel wanted to let, uh, Alys drive, they piled in the van.) * Griff_Khalil doesn't need parking. Because he's flying! Go him! (Otherwise I had to odrive.) (Did we call for taxies? Walk? Think happy thought?) (Driving!) ( You got there. My part is done <.< ) (Alys and Ashley have a locomotion problem without Lukas driving.) (Brett: Uh, no.) (But Alys can drive Ashley,, right? (He wouldn't mind!) (Yes, that works fine.) (God, no. Your place or mine, honey-buns?) ( orz. You all decided to take the bus. Woo! ) (There's a difference between driven by and ridden by o/~ ) (Yep. One of Herman, Ashley, or Alys rides with me, I rode my motorcycle, Khalil flied.) (Only if you're picky. Hot-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha!) (That's about what my statement was.) * Lukas drives up on his motorcycle! Claim your spot behind him before it's too late! He stands it up for a second, looking up the hill. (I drove, okay? I can drive. Honest. If someone else gives me something to drive.) (Like the van?) (You can take the van!) (Sure.) (I can drive a van.) (It totaly has weels and stuff!) (I'm just that talented.) * Ashley is totally riding Lukas. WITH Lukas, with Lukas. Right. * Herman drove the bloody van because nobody else can bloody well drive. Except Alys, and we are so not going there. * Ten rides along with Lukas and does the whole "Don't mind me, I'm a cute inanimate object and certainly not a rogue AI or anything like that act." (You're in your box.) (Remember? You have your own box on the back.) (What's in the box? I AM! Because I'm awesome like that!) * Alys hops out of the van, still 'dressed' in the clubbing outfit. "You drive too slow, Pipe Guy. Red lights are suggestions! You don't -have- to stop." * Lukas mutters, "Dear god," and dismounts. The bike. Not Ashley. This isn't an unrealistic porn flick. (More the sadness for us. ;_;) ( 'Course not. It's plenty realistic ) * Griff_Khalil lands on a nearby lamppost and inspects Alys's argument with Herman. "Trouble?" We lost the race! [The church looms intimidatingly at the top of the hill. A sign at the bottom of the church says "Bakesale Sunday!"] (Because, you know, the thought of pasteries and yeast is very intimidating.) Oh, excellent! A bake sale. And just when I was feeling a little peckish. (* Alys eyes the church. "Don't you loom at -me-.") * Calculus (jrenken@tofu.sandwich.net) has left #BESM (*thud*) (Only during passover! NO LEVENING FOR Jew!) * Lukas walks back around and undoes Ten's box, taking her out and adjusting her wings slightly while muttering under his breath, "You were feeling something alright." * Ashley looks angelic. (It could be like Yumi and gloom instead.) * Ten nods. * Lukas holds the Ten in the standard cradling and glances around. "Oh, good. Nobody died." He looks up at the church. "So how do we do this? Chances are we'll be identified the second we walk in." Or fly in. * Ashley waves, and Lukas suddenly looks like Bea Arthur. "Or we could go the alternative route." * Herman glances back at Alys and stops. Not at a red light. "Then think of it as me following the suggestion." He turns off the van and gets out. * Lukas looks at Ashley funny. "Uhwhatnow?" * Ten nods again. * Pocky-kun (Shinobinez@ACB836CC.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Ping timeout) * Ashley conjures a mirror for Lukas. "Positively golden, if I do say so myself." * Lukas half-reaches up to his head before seeing the mirror and saying, "... what the hell is this? Am I going to the bake sale to contribute? Ten is not a cookie tin." Unless they have someone who can smell us. Which would make me worry about the organization as a whole. But it is possible. I'm pious! I look very religious. Usually. Sort of. Well, I could if I wanted to. SHe could be. * Ten shake her head. "There's no room for cookies in me! I'm, like, full of me!" She could make a very passable nutcracker. * Herman climbs out and looks at everyone assembled. "What's going on now?" It's a bake sale, not a movie. * Ashley pokes at Ten, who now appears to be a very stylish cookie tin. Norman Rockwell, even. * Ten makes hollow tinking noises when poked now? I'm having a blast, that's what's happening. Would you like blue hair or just the dentures package, Herman? * Lukas glances down at her. "Oh, come on. That's a total downgrade." Hey! My hands! I had hands! They were totaly awesome hands and now they're go.. oh, just invisable. This's, like weird. * Lukas pats Ten on the... er... house painting. Sorta. How can we be certain the disguises meet the atmosphere? * Lukas looks over at Khalil. "It's... a... bake sale?" Correction, it says it is. I believe that being around Ashley long enough should tell you appearances may not be all that they seem. * Ashley raises an eyebrow. "Unless it's a Bake Sale of the Damned, I believe we'll be fine." * Griff_Khalil pauses. "That is precisely what I am afraid of." * Herman groans. "Just pick disguises and be done with it, Ashley. Or don't bother. We're running out of time here." May I also note that it is not Sunday? * Alys holds her arms out to the side to display her outfit to Ashley. "Good, or do you feel like changing it?" * Ashley whooshes his arms, and now we all look like Granny-goes-on-a-trip. A veritable group-home outing. Khalil has a walker, and Herman's hair is clearly a blue wig. I'm old and senile! Hooray! * Pocky-kun (Shinobinez@ACB836CC.ipt.aol.com) has joined #besm * Griff_Khalil blinks and comes down off the lamppost. Grandpa climbing way up there could bring up questions. * Lukas runs... uh, her hand through her hair. Her big hair. "Yeah. Hooray." And if they know it's us, we're at least no worse off than before. * Ten still looks like she's full of goodies for the kids, or possibly horrible lingering death, you never know with some people. (Ten is full of food poisoning goodness.) * Herman now has a blue wig of hair. "Great. Done?" Quite. * Lukas starts walking. Bea Arthur and her purse and her cookie tin. Just got off her hog and is goin' to the bake sale. * Alys follows, bent over slightly and looking very old. "I can repeat things and pretend I have dementia. This is excellent." Don't pretend, dear Alys. BE demented. Feel it. Pretend? * Herman hobbles along, using his pipe as a walking stick. * Griff_Khalil walks slow. He isn't much used to walking slow but he tries his best. * Pocky-kun (Shinobinez@ACB836CC.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Ping timeout) * Alys glances at Khalil. "Hey, no insulting me when I 'm prtending to be feeble. (>.<) * Ashley , for the record, is dressed as a wrinkly yet spry gentleman, who is dressed in a comically oversized sweater and slacks that might have fit his build four years ago. * Griff_Khalil chuckles. Then tries an old man cough. To play the part. [You approach the church, confirming that the sign deffinately says, "Bakesale Sunday!" as you do. The Church is ornate and Christian Catholic. That in itself is unusual, seeing as how it's in England. But there's a small smattering of non-Protestant structures here and there. 'Specially here.] (http://img.4cham.net/c/characters/ashley.png) [Anyhow, the big double doors are closed.] (*giggles*) (So cute.) ( http://gryphon.sandwich.net/giavatar/tim.png ) * Ashley hangs back from the door, busily maintaining the illusion [The door fails to see through Ashley's illusion. (I thought Tim had other colored hair.) ] ( Tim dyes his hair and the blue wore out) * Griff_Khalil comes up to the door. "Alright. Who wishes to be the spokesperson for our venerable group?" * Pocky-kun (Pocky-kun@ACB836CC.ipt.aol.com) has joined #besm Ooh, I'll do it! Me! * Lukas chuckles. "Khalil already sounds like he's sixty. He can do it." * Griff_Khalil stares at Lukas. "I what?" ( Oooh, burned. ) * Lukas replies, "You just said 'spokesperson for our venerable group' and not 'old dude talkin'." He's got a point. You have to admit, Khalil, you exude a certain ... antiquity. * Griff_Khalil sighs. "But I am no good at deception..." And I am being called antique by someone who is possibly ten times my age at least. Wonderful. I like acting! Me! Just tell me what to say and I'll do it! * Lukas smirks. "You can have it in any color you want, as long as it's black, huh Alys?" * Alys is jumping around more than an old woman probably should be. ... Maybe if you stop jumping, they'd believe you can't. * Ten giggles, which is an odd thing for tin of ... whatever to be doing. * Alys stops jumping. "Didn't get that at all, Volt. Plainer talk, please?" Old car reference. Doesn't matter. It's no problem, Khalil. Just keep it slow and addled. I do believe Alys would make a better candidate in this case... * Griff_Khalil looks awfully fidgetty for someone with a walker. See? Perfectly addled. * Pocky-kun (Pocky-kun@ACB836CC.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Ping timeout) (Ha ha. Man, we're slamming people around like roller derby.) I believe you just wish me in this position to make play at my expense. * Herman rubs at his lower back and winces. "Fine. Alys, think you can do this?" He sounds like he just wants to go already. Like, maybe we could go find Togo? * Pocky-kun (Pocky-kun@ACB836CC.ipt.aol.com) has joined #besm Hush, Pepperidge Farm. Yes, I can. Fine. Go. * Alys hobbles up to the front and tries to open the doors. * Ten attempts to extrude an aura of tinness. [The doors creak open, revealing a large antechamber, lined with pews. There's a stage at the far end with two chandeliers, and altar, icons, and the woiks.] * Alys walks in and starts poking around, little-old-ladylike. * Griff_Khalil walks in, with his walker, staring around at the sanctuary of the infide--er, atmosphere of the church. Right. [A guy comes out of a door on the far left of the room, near the altar. He looks middle-aged, has short black hair and wears a black habit. He approaches, asking when he gets close, "I say. What are you folkes doing here at this time of night?"] (... Okay I'm now going to refer to Lukas as Swessus.) You! There you are, there you are. * Alys hobbles over to the man. "We have a nice tin for the bake sale. Where should we go put it?" (*falls out of his chair* I must find a way to record these) (Hell's GRANNIES!) (We're awesome.) [He raises an eyebrow. "I'm sorry? The bakesale isn't until Sunday."] Eh? What's that? Speak up, speak up. * Ashley becomes exceedingly interested in one of his own thumbs. [He speaks louder, not yet shouting. "I said, the bakesale is Sunday!"] * Lukas holds her tin. Well, of course it is! Now, where should we put the tin? * Herman peers at the pew. It's such a nice pew. [The pew is totally wood.] (Dude.) (It's wood. That's deep or something.) [He does the loudspeak again. "The bakesale is Sunday. Today is Thursday! You've come too early!"] Young man, you don't expect us to bring it the morning of the sale, where someone could take it? There are young hooligans about at bake sales! We'll just leave it somewhere safe until then. * Lukas rolls her eyes. Cause she's a tough old broad. * Griff_Khalil starts to look around the pews a little. He crouches somewhat as he goes through, as if he's looking for something. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Griff_Khalil (2d8-3) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 5. [He looks around Alys to the rest of you. "Are you all together?"] * Ashley looks up sharply. "Queen to Knight's six!" Of course we are! You don't expect me to make delightful treats by myself, do you, hm? I've got arthritis! * Griff_Khalil lets out a feeble "Hrrm? What?" and stands up a little at the question. Poor dears have gone off a bit in the head, but that never stopped no one from baking. ( Gimmie Performing Arts (Fast Talking) ) 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alys (2d8-5) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 8. (For the record, the disguises are 5-sense, as per usual.) ( Yah. But disguises can't hide your acting :P ) (RIght. Just for everyone else's benefit.) ( And that's performing arts from everyone ^^ ) (Even the inanimate object?) (But we're not talking! Not even fast!) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8-2) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 7. (Yeah, well, I'm a fucking natural. Make.) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ashley (2d8) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 12. 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Griff_Khalil (2d8-3) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 3. (Ouch.) (...yes, kinda made that. ^_^) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-3) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 4. (I am so totaly at one with the cookies.) * RowynSleepyn (rowyn2001@adsl-69-107-102-181.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) has joined #besm ( /poke Herman. ) [The priest looks somewhat skeptical, but he holds out his hand. "I'll put them in a safe place. Erm... Where did you folkes come from? Do you need me to call a taxi?"] * Griff_Khalil (rowyn2001@adsl-69-107-102-181.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) Quit (Ping timeout) * RowynSleepyn is now known as Griff_Khalil * Alys glares at him. "We can't very well leave them with you! You might eat them before the sale! No no, we'll need to put them away ourselves. Come on, dearies." She starts shuffling past the priest. * Griff_Khalil looks up slowly, notes Alys is leaving and then drags along after her. [He moves in front of Alys. "Now, hold on a second. Ma'am, do you know where you are?" He looks like he wants to add, "Do you know WHO you are?" but doesn't 'cause he's polite.] * Alys stops. "I am in the church, young man. The house of God!" She gives him a cautious look. "Do -you- know where you are? Do you have a fever, dear?" ["Ma'am, I'm the priest of this church. Surely you must realize that?"] * Grydlish (Grysar@pool-138-88-65-147.res.east.verizon.net) has joined #besm * Herman shuffles after Alys, then stops because she stopped. He looks very confused. The fleece of the church? Are you sure you don't mean priest? ["That's what I said."] ( Ten and the Tenjonaughts. Go find the Fleece Ten. ) (Kay!) Did you? Ah, well, my hearing isn't so good. Where did you say we should put the tin? (nauts. Tengonauts.) ( Oh, you can't wear clothes while doing it. *runs* ) (She's a doll. Not a realdoll. c.c;) ["You can give it to me. I'll keep it safe until the bakesale."] We can't very well leave them with you! You might eat them before the sale! No no, we'll need to put them away ourselves. * Alys waves a hand awkwardly. "Bea, go on and find a safe spot for the tin. Ashley, dear, you go with her." [He rubs his forhead. "Very well. You can put them in my chambers. Come." He walks back to that room he came out of and opens the door, holding it open for you lot.] (Strike that, then. ^^) * Alys follows slowly. * Dave (CCD@216-229-75-230-cablemodem-roll.fidnet.com) Quit (herring.sandwich.net sourdough.sandwich.net) (That explains that.) * Griff_Khalil follows as well, without missing a beat. * Lukas follows, looking a little bitter. Grr. She has a tin in one hand, and is reaching into her purse with the other. Perhaps it's comforting? * Herman stands there, looking all awkward and confused and lost in his blue wig. Aw. * Ashley follows! "Thumbs." [The priests chambers look like a priest's chambers. Whatever that looks like. We'll say there's a fancy window or two, a bookcase, a chair and desk, a holy-looking tapestry, a potted plant, a dresser, and a door in the back that leads to a bathroom.] * Dave (CCD@216-229-75-230-cablemodem-roll.fidnet.com) has joined #besm [Oh, and a grandfather clock.] [And some candles, although there is an electric light that's on.] * Calculus (jrenken@tofu.sandwich.net) has joined #BESM * Lukas pulls out his pistol from his 'purse' and, uh, fires it at the back of his neck at near pointblank range. Does it look like a pistol? Who knows. Hope the priest has eyes in the back of his head? Sure. (TIRED OF TALKING.) (Wow...awesome Calc..) [Lukas shoots a priest.] [He collapses with a thud.] [What is the world coming to?] * Lukas puts the gun away, saying, "That took long enough." Thank christ, if I had to be senile a moment longer I might have retched from the pablum. * Griff_Khalil looks at the priest and breathes a deep sigh of relief. "Thank you." * Alys straightens up. "Oooh, thank goodness. Ouch." * Ashley points to Alys, then Khalil. "You, and you? Bloody naturals." * Herman watches the priest thud to the ground. "Forgive me, Father, for I have witnessed a sin and am not going to do a damn thing about it." Anyhow, I did find a bit of the trail. Togo has been here. But it is faint. I am not sure exactly where to pick it up again. * Lukas laughs sharply at Herman's comment, then, "Look for a secret passage." Thank you! (Calc, explain the RFM situation) * Herman goes to open the door to the back, now standing straight and holding his pipe like... well, like a pipe? * Griff_Khalil stares at Ashley and just bows his head a little. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 8.

"Safe to drop the disguise, do you think?" * Lukas replies, "Probably. Better look for a secret passge." Even if it is not, I would much prefer simply to knock someone out than to act old again. * Alys looks through anything that's on the desk. * Ashley waves and the illusion drops. * Ten gives her hand an experemental wave. "That was weird." [There is! The desk has a fountain pen, two stacked books, and a third open book.] * Alys stops for a moment. "Hey, I have smooth, non-wrinkly skin again. Gone are the old age spots! I do not miss them." She continues looking. * Alys looks at the book titles. Anything interesting? [Nope. It's all religious stuff.] * Lukas walks out into the church proper and goes to the door. To relock it. * Herman ... opens the door in the back? [Herman finds a bathroom.] * Griff_Khalil looks at the open book and starts to read it, flipping through slowly. Hey, Lukas. How long's the father gonna be out? * Alys switches to looking through the bookcase in hope of a stereotypical secret book that will open a secret passage. She's read way too many bad mystery novels. Hour or two? More? Depends too much. That's what you get with the cheap stuff. * Griff_Khalil (rowyn2001@adsl-69-107-102-181.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) * Lukas looks around the altar area. Great place for a secret passage. [The open book is an uninteresting documentation of some monk's life in some abbey somewhere. No, he's not going to be reading a book about how to open the secret passage to his own base.] * Griff_Khalil (rowyn2001@adsl-69-107-102-181.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) has joined #besm * Ten nods. [Alys does not discover a secret passageway in the bookcase. But she does find a secret book in the bottom corner entitled "Tek War and Why It Should Stay Banned"] * Ashley sniffs around. [Lukas finds no passageway around the altar.] ( Gimme awareness checks at +3 ) 2d8+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alys (2d8+3) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 8. (Any particular sense?)

(Naw.) [Those who made it notice something strange about the floor, like the thinnest of cracks in a square area around the clock.] Hmm. That's an odd floor. * Griff_Khalil glances at Ashley. "Hmm? How so?" * Ten leans over to look. "Didja find something? Huh? Huh?" * Ashley points to the floor at the clock. "Panel, perhaps?" * Griff_Khalil walks over and inspects the floor around the clock. How much of it's exposed? [Ashley and Khalil, gimme awareness checks] (Still no sense applies?) ( Yep ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Griff_Khalil (2d8-2) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 5. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ashley (2d8) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 10. (Just made) * Alys takes the neat secret book and pockets it before looking over by the clock. (No sense, nonsense, this song doesn't make any sense o/`) [The both of them also notice the clock has four chimes. The first and third are lower than the second and fourth, but otherwise they're all on exactly the same level.] (... so they'rre different but otherwise they're the same?) ( Roight ) (... no.) * Griff_Khalil stares at the clock for a bit then tries to tug on the chimes. (a ha Sanctuary is back ^^) (Except for how they're different, they're identicle!) ( Chimes usually aren't at the same height. ) (But they're NOT at the same height!) (You just said so!) ( Some of them are :P ) ( so 1 = 3 , 2 = 4.) ( Right. ) [As Khalil pulls the second chime down, the first and third rise.] * Dave is now known as CCD Kind of a strange clock, too. * Herman looks back at what's going on. "Huh." (A math puzzel and I'm not awake enough for Ten to solve z_Z) Yes. Though I am tempted to try just lifting the entire clock from its place. A puzzel! Awesome! Do ya think they design video game dungions here? * Griff_Khalil lets go of the chime and steps back. "Likely, the proper solution is getting them all at the same height." [The chimes are currently: Up, down, up, up.] * Herman watches him step back, then sighs and approaches the clock. He tries pulling the first one. * Jex is now known as Jexless [The first chime goes down when it's pulled. The second one rises.] * Herman tries chime number three! A ha. (You all just stand around while I play with the puzzle.) * Ten watches Herman solve for pie. [The chime goes down, bringing the second and third one with it. The clock's hands go all the way around until they hit midnight, then the clock chimes, and then the floor moves down like an elevator.] * Herman blinks. "Okay. We're going to Hell." * Griff_Khalil glances at Herman in a "speak-for-yourself" manner. "Why do you say that?" Where else is directly down from a church? If I believe in Hell, will it still believe in me? (*don't believe) * Lukas chucklesa little. Hell has security cameras? The local brothel? * Herman looks at Alys. "I think that Hell bloody well believes in you, Alys." Hell certainly does believe in you. [You get to hell! No, wait, you get to a sekrit passage. The clock stops, leaving you at a corridor that's built of reddish stone, aligned with pillars and covered with a red carpet. Torches light the way down the corridor, but they're made of fake fire; the real light comes from small points behind them, and from small lights at the bottom of the walls. It's kinda like a movie theatre, before they turn the lights off for the movie.] What sort of things can you bribe demons with? Because I don't really fancy a trip there. ( That get through? ) (Yup!) There, see? Hell. Or, uh, a mock up of Hell. The fuck. Hell looks kind of cheesy. [There's a turn some distance ahead. ] You can possibly place a ward on them and kick them in the shins. Blimey.

Meep.] [It's at the far corner, fixated on the entry way.] * Alys stares back. "I could smash that. Or we could hurry.

Or perhaps both. [Around the next corner is another corridor. This one ends in a staircase, though just before the stairs is a branching corridor to the left. There's a camera at the intersection, moving to scan all three passages.] Sure, sorry. Wait, do cameras make noise? Do they have a camera language? * Herman glances back at Ashley before turning the corner, indicating up towards the camera. * Ashley does his thing! ... the illusion thing, not the thing with the naked and the sweating. * Griff_Khalil stops and holds up his hand. * Herman waits. * Griff_Khalil nods to the stairs and whispers. "Quickly. Down there. Someone's coming." * Herman hisses back, "Then go!" * Lukas nods in acknowledgement and goes! Screw you not going people! * Alys goes! * Griff_Khalil nods and moves along quickly, but stealthily. His ears are turned slightly towards the passage on the left, so that's probably where they're coming from. * Herman does, too. Down the stairs! Go stairs! * Ten goes with Lukas! It's not like she has a choice! (YOU ARE TRAPPPED BY MY EVIL THIEVING HANDS.) * Ashley follows! What's going on? Only people who aren't dead know. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 8. [You manage to make it down the stairs before whoever's coming comes! There's a turn left immediately at the bottom, and this path goes straight for a while, passing some rooms.] * Griff_Khalil keeps up his bloodhound tracking mode, following the traces of Togo's stench. I mean scent. * Herman follows Khalil. He can't smell Togo from a hundred yards away. Thank God. (You mean to his manly perfume? It's Obsession.) * Alys has half forgotten what they're doing here by now, but she follows anyway. Sheeeep. ( Ponies!) (*Ashley dresses Alys up like a jockey) (It's simple. They're punishing the people that carelessly left a book off the shelf and out of place.) (The disorderly book people must burn! If this were true, Alys's player would be crispy fried!) * Lukas looks a little out of it as he walks. Lemming? Perhaps. * Ashley looks around, quietly reminiscing. [You pass doors! They don't have windows, but lights are on inside them.] (Another scent/hearing roll, Brett?) ( Sure ) 2 2d8-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Griff_Khalil (2 2d8-6) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 1 8. (Just made on that hearing. But I'd say the smell is a....peeyou, wish Togo would stand downwind.) * Griff_Khalil mutters. "It sounds like almost all of Covenant really -are- women." * Griff_Khalil ignores the doors and keeps walking. [The corridor ends with a turn to the right, directly to another staircase.] What a surprise. Yes. * Lukas shakes his head slightly and continues walkin'. "Maybe Hell really is just walking with nowhere to go." * Griff_Khalil heads down the maze of staircases. "My main worry at this point is not finding Togo. It is how are we going to get back -out-?" * Ashley yawns. "Hell is a little less contrived and a lot more on fire." ( Do you want a random encounter or what? >.> ) ... We use a door. (No, but it doesn't mean we can't joke about it!) There's a fuck of a lot of doors. * Griff_Khalil snickers slightly. "I apologize. I am used to doing things the mundane way." [Down these stairs is a small corridor with a single room at the end, with two large double doors leading to it.] There could be a map. 'You are here. Exit is there. Danger is in these various places. Have a nice day.' ( Khalil, hearing check, +2 ) There could be. But there is not. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Griff_Khalil (2d8-4) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 0. Like a Fake-Hell Directory? Sure! (Dr. Mario FOR THE WIN! XD) Even in Pseudo-Hell, you gotta know where the coffee shop is. Are you kidding me? Where do you think Starbucks got started? If this really is Hell, there'd be a bloody coffee shop every other room. In a true Hell, they certainly would at least have that annoying mu-- * Griff_Khalil 's ears perk up and he lets out a low hissy-snarl before walking more cautiously forward for a second. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Griff_Khalil (2d8) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 10. * Griff_Khalil springs forward from his pounce and starts flies towards the door. (flying) * Lukas draws his gun. "Let's hope he didn't run into Griffon Catnip." A strike, perhaps? 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Griff_Khalil (2d8-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 8. * Herman runs after him, pipe in hand. "He is part cat. Guess it'd work." * Ashley follows along, amiably. * Alys takes out her chains and follows. * Griff_Khalil flies towards the door, fully intent on smashing right through it. [The door fairly explodes inwards, revealing a large square room. There's a stage and altar at the far end, much like in the church above, but the sides of the room have two large computers. ] 2d8-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8-1) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 4. [Also in the room are three people: Togo, unconscious and tied to a chair; Rachel, everyones favorite reoccuring villianess; and a new woman you haven't seen before. ] [The new woman is tall, though whether naturally or because of the sturdy jet black platemail she's wearing, who can say? The armor covers her entire body, save her head. Her hair is black, and her left eye is green. Her right eye is covered by an eyepatch and a vertical scar. She also has a double-headed battleaxe, which she's removing from her shoulders upon the intrusion. "Well, well. Here they are."] ( Gimme init rolls! ) 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8+7) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14. 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Herman (2d8+7) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14. 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8+7) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 14. 2d8+14 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Griff_Khalil (2d8+14) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 21. (IT IS 7 DAY.) (It really is.) 2d8+13 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alys (2d8+13) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 21. 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ashley (2d8+7) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 13. (Motherfuckers.) [Rachel, Khalil, Alys, Helga, Ten, Herman, Lukas, Ashley] [Rachel gathers a large ball of light in her hands. "I told you they'd be here, Helga. Stupid bitch." She flings the energy at you guys, which promptly explodes in your midsts. Gimme def rolls! Alla ya] 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alys (2d8-2) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 5. (Ranged?) ( Yes ) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ashley (2d8) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 4. (Made, so suck it) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Griff_Khalil (2d8-2) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 9. ( And if you don't make it, body rolls +2 ) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-4) and gets a natural 15 for a result of 11. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Herman (2d8) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 10. (Actually, wouldn't flight make it +2 to hit?) 2d8+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8+2) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 9. (Haha, no.) 2d8+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Griff_Khalil (2d8+2) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 7. ( Not in this case. ) (Also missed) (But I'll do that anyhow, and make) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8-2) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 5. (WOO I MADE ONE.) ( I don't allow the swift escape = bonus, on account of I do allow successful defense = no AoE damage. ) (I don't suppose the +4 due to dimunuitive would have helped) ( Where as normally, you'd still take damage even if you made the def roll. ) * Dreol (RubedoKuka@pool-70-18-141-214.pghk.east.verizon.net) Quit (Ping timeout) ( Not for an AoE ) (Kay, I failed both of them!) [Most of you manage to escape the initial light burst, though Khalil, Herman and Ten are caught in it. It burns! Khalil manages to shield his eyes, but Ten not so, and her ... uh.... optics? Are scrambled. And Herman? We dunno yet, he didn't roll body.] 2d8+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Herman (2d8+2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 12. (I missed that. And missed it... again?) [Herman is momentarily blinded too!] [Khalil!] (How does Ten not share my dodge roll? *snickers*) * Herman grunts and winces as he's hit by the blast. He tries to open his eyes and then grimaces, rubbing at them. "Holy fuck." (I was looking the wrong way!) * Griff_Khalil screechs as he shields his eyes and then loosens his talons. "That was a mistake." He makes a beeline at Rachel to pin her with the claws, using the momentum to shove her back into the computers if he makes. (That counts as a grapple for skill check, yes or no?) ( Yeah ) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Griff_Khalil (2d8-3) and gets a natural 3 for a result of 0. [Khalil does just that. Rachel grimmaces as she's slammed into the computers.] [Alys!] (How do I do a called attack?) ( It's attack roll +8, -2 for every level of accuracy you have. ) (Well, +4 for a non-vital, right?) (Actually, yeah. +8 is only vital spots or small weak points.) ( O. ) (And disarms I think?) (... That O with just a period is oddly frightening.) (Hang on, opening Tri-Stat.)\ (It's like 2/3 of an emote.) (It's okay, I changed my mind. I'll just look it up later.) (Disarm and Partial Armor are +4.) (Vital is +8.) (Weak Point is +6/+4/+2 depending.) (There!) * Alys grins and rushes at Rachel. "Haven't gotten to use these in a while!" 2 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alys (2 2d8-2) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 5 10. (Made one.) [Alys strikes Rachel with one chain and makes sparks fly from the computer with the other! Rachel is sad :(] * RowynSleepyn (rowyn2001@adsl-69-107-102-181.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) has joined #besm [Helga grins. "Ok Rach, you handle those two." She darts forward surprisingly quickly, swinging the axe at Lukas.] (What!) (I'm no threat!) (You shot the priest!) (He's fine!) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 13. * Griff_Khalil (rowyn2001@adsl-69-107-102-181.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) Quit (Ping timeout) (She wants a doll just like me!) (Lukas is tall and not blinded. :P) * RowynSleepyn is now known as Griff_Khalil (Damn prejudices.) (Your fault. You should have drank more caffeine at an earlier age.) [Ouch. Lukas steps back and avoids being cut in half at the waist, but he doesn't move quickly enough to avoid getting a decent-sized hole in his stomach. What's more, Helga whirls 180 degrees and brings the axe down towards Ashley! Oh noes!] (I exercise the millenia-old fae self-defense and pre-emptively die.) * Lukas clutches at his stomach with one hand, and with Ten in the other, he's sorta... very busyhanded, causing him to drop his gun. 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ashley (2d8) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 6. (Shock, a fail. Who. Ever. Would. Have. Guessed.) [Ashley loses a good chunk of his shoulder.] [Ten!] * Ashley seems decidedly upset about this. (What's the penalty for trying anthing while blinded?) (Pfft. He can at least make it seem like he hasn't!) ( +4 ) ( Unless you've got blindshooting/blindfighting ) (Going to try a blind shove at the lady in plate!) (..... FSK) 2d8+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8+1) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 12. (Ahahahah, no) [Herman!] (Does my blindness count as a spell cast on myself?) ( Nope, just when aiming is involved. ) (No! You fail to touch yourself!) (Wait, I'm confused.) ( Oh, I see what you're saying. But no, it doesn't. It's a flash effect, not magical blindness. ) (Oh, damn. Then I'll just stand like an idiot.) * Herman backs away from the fighting and shakes his head, rubbing at his eyes and trying to regain his sight. It probably doesn't work. [Nope! Lukas!] (I KNOW. I can throw my AoE spell blindly! That's sure to hit something!) (Yes. Most likely us!) * Lukas lets Ten go! She can take it. And he steps back slightly, with one hand clutching his slicey. (Holding action to being fucked up again.) (Yay!) [Ashley!] * Ten falls to the ground and... stays there. * Ashley vanishes! [Rachel! Her hands envelop in a bright white light (rhyme!), which she presses into Khalil's sides unless he lets go of her.] * Griff_Khalil would definitely pull back after that. The main thing was the slam. Holding isn't that important. ( Still need a def roll ) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Griff_Khalil (2d8-4) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 8. (I figured.) (And grah.) [Khalil doesn't quite move out of the way in time, and the white-hot light burns his sides.] (Where's that 7 NOW when I need it?) [Khalil!] * Griff_Khalil screeches at the pain and glares at Rachel before snapping at her wrist. That's right, biting grip. (Smack her down!) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Griff_Khalil (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. (Chomp!) [Rachel screams as Khalil bites into her. Ouch.] [Alys!] * Alys does her best to smack the horrid, evil, bitten woman. 2 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alys (2 2d8-2) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 7 12. (Made one, again.) [Alys smacks her again. She screams at that, too.] [Helga! With Ashley gone, she turns her attention to Herman, swinging the big ol' axe at him.] (Wow. She just can't get around the concept of 'finish them off', huh?) (Finish who off? Ashley disappeared like the cowardly fae he is.) (*bleeds on the floor*) ( Herm? ) (Lukas decided he didn't like axes as much as advertised.) (Er, Ashley.) (Oh, I can defend!) (... Is that a +4 to defend while blind?) ( Yes ) (Oh lordy.) 2d8+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Herman (2d8+1) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 9. (No.) (Dicy doesn't like us.) [Ouch. Herman takes an axe blow to the side. Helga then turns her attention back to Lukas, swinging at him again, too!] (Fuck THAT.) (I'm taking my held action to preempt her.) (Bitch.) ( Kayo ) * Lukas sees her coming around, grits his teeth, and dives straight for her, empty hand outstretched. What the hell's he doing? (... I parsed that horribly. KYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!) (Answer: He's getting a total -8 to hit.) (Tristat rules are funny.) * Herman takes it. He doesn't even see it coming! Imagine that. (It's dramatically appropriate.) (Trying to touch the target and fire a point-blank blast into her.) * Grydlish (Grysar@pool-138-88-65-147.res.east.verizon.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) 2d8-8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8-8) and gets a natural 6 for a result of -2. ( That a total attack? ) (It's a 'Touching the Target' rule. Which I don't know if you like or not. Without it, it's just my raw combat check (-2) which is still a make.) (See page 67 (72 in PDF)) (Er, 66, sorry.) (Anyway. Zeus' Hand. Lightning blast. Screw her. >_<) ( Hmmmmm.... Well, I'm tempted to say no for your sakes :P ) ( I'll worry about it later. ) (Whatever. And it's actually -4, sorry, it's accurate.) (He made regardless, it looks like.) (Yeah. A 6 is a make for me without any mods.) (And I get a -4. So.) (Now I'm really glad I'm somewhere the fuck else.) [For now, Helga gets fried! She spasm on her feet and staggers back a few steps... And keeps standing. She's not smiling anymore as she swings her axe towards Lukas.] 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8-2) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 9. (And I get the higher roll on that one.) (That's a get chopped.) [Lukas gets chopped again. His wounds look pretty serious. He's still conscious, though, barely.] [Ten!] 2d8+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8+1) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 10. [Herman!] (I'm still blind!) ( Yep! ) (Yes, you have quite effectively screwd us on that one!) ( It only hit two people >.> ) (The combat people.) (You mean Herman, our biggest gun, and Ten, who disarms people? Yeah. ^_~) (I'm a big gun? Dude!) (I thought Togo was our biggest gun. :P) (He's not awake.) (Togo's out!) (Or at least owned them.) * Herman coughs, clutches at his side (which is bleeding something fierce, and all over his nice leather coat, too), and decides he heard enough to try to hit the lady in plate, wildly swinging his pipe for wherever she probably is. He likely makes a fool of himself. Oh well, it's not like he can see it. 2d8+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Herman (2d8+1) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 11. (Yup!) (What a surprise.) [Herman makes a fool of himself!] [Lukas!] (We're awesome and BLIND!) (I just went through a pointless dialogue in my pose. It was pretty awesome.) (Pointless dialogue is fun!) * Lukas clutches his side and spits out blood to join his on the ground before saying, "I fucking hate that you make me do this shit," and then he reaches out a bloody hand towards her. This time, a bright crack of lightning is visible as it flies from his hand and... 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8-4) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 2. (... GIVE ME THAT ON DEFENSE CHECKS. >_<) (Ahem. Another hit.) [Amazingly enough, Helga manages to step to the side, letting the blast fly past her.] (*tosses up his hands and bleeds to death* Wake me up when the person with the giant axe is slower than someone who's a foot away. ^_~) (...Does this mean I'm going to have to fix myself now? ;p) [Even more amazingly, that blond woman from before, who was with Rachel when you guys fought frog dude, steps out of a portal between Rachel and Alys, throwing a punch at her!] ( They do get def rolls >.> ) * Pocky-kun (Pocky-kun@ACB836CC.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Ping timeout) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alys (2d8-2) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 11. * Herman , blind, nevertheless turns his head towards the lady who stepped out of the portal. (Hah, no.) (Yeah. She must have extra defenses, I guess.) [Alys is punched! The punch doesn't feel that hard, but it's almost like a second force hits her after the first one, and she's sent tumbling over backwards a few feet.] ["Linnae?" Rachel gasps as the woman grabs her. "What are you doing here?" She responds, "Artemis command sensed you were in danger. We can't afford to lose you." And she vanishes as quickly as she came, bringing Rachel with her.] [Khalil!] (...) (Or...um...I guess not?) (So. Close. To no more Rachel.) (Was Khalil clinging to Rachel?) (Yes ^_^;) ( I kinda forgot :P ) (Then how'd she, uh. ^^;) (With his FACE!) (He's pulled in with her!) (Whups.) ( /me scratches his head. Well. ) (Fuck no!) (No deus ex for you!) (Brett, fix it?) (I refuse for him to be pulled in!) (More rescue missions when I'm dead are not allowed.) (But it'd be funny.) (It'd be Khalil.) (Surrounded by hot women.) [Rachel's arm begins to glow and heat up as the new portal appears! Unless Khalil lets go his mouth will be burned off! Oh noes!] (Well, I rather doubt she'd be able to drag Rachel and Khalil together without a fight anyhow.) * Griff_Khalil doesn't. But he would kick off Rachel as a final insult. 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Griff_Khalil (2d8-4) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 6. (Finally makeage) ( /me boggles. He doesn't let go? ) (Doesn't hold on. Sorry, misread) ( Right. ) (Khalil's kind of attached to his tongue) [Khalil kicks off of Rachel, knocking her out just before she's pulled through the portal.] * Pocky-kun (Pocky-kun@ACC06DA7.ipt.aol.com) has joined #besm [Khalil's turn! I'm allowing that as a free action on account of my own blunder :P] ( /poke Khalil ) * Griff_Khalil hisses out in a gutteral lion growl. "Figures." He glances towards Helga and notes people kinda, uh, bleeding, and goes to try and grab the ax midswing and rip it from her grasps. (Disarm) ( Unarmed (wrestling) ) (Accuracy counts for that, right?) (Okay...) 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Griff_Khalil (2d8-3) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 3. [Khalil manages to pull the axe right out of Helga's hands, though she curls her gauntlet fingers into fists almost immediately.] [Alys!] * Griff_Khalil has an axe now! He gets an unusually wicked gleam in his eyes for Khalil. * Alys turns to looks for the next person to fight and sees all the wounded people and lack of Ashley. "Ah, shit." She runs at Helga to attack. 2 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Alys (2 2d8-2) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 6 5. (Made both!) [Alys strikes Helga with her chains. She staggers back, and lifts her fists to retaliate... and runs out of strength. She falls down with a clanky *thud*] (Also, doesn't change Khalil's actions, but is the portal still open or is it one of those "Close immediately after" things?) ( Close immediately after. ) (Figured.) ( It wouldn't be a good idea to go through anyhow. Trust me on that ^^ ) (End combat?) ( Yeah. Nothing left to fight. ) * Griff_Khalil looks at Helga and gives her an extra knock on the head with the butt of the ax just in case. * Herman hears the clang waits for a few seconds, and then asks, "Is it over?" * Ten waits for somebody to respond to Herman! ( Herman's sight returns momentarily, as does Ten's. ) Yes. Though this is getting annoying. * Lukas clutches his stomach and says weakly, "Only if I don't get to a hospital." * Alys kicks Helga in the stomache before looking to Lukas, worried. "Can I do anything to help?" * Ten sits up. "You've gotta heal Lukas! He's all hurt and it's bad and I CAN SEE! AWESOME!" He will. He will. Just calm down, Ten. * Herman blinks a few times, rubs his eyes again, and then says, "Yeah. Me too." He looks down at all the... blood. "Fuck." [Alys hurts her foot. Armor, y'know.] * Griff_Khalil wipes his mouth with the back of his feathers. "Her wrist tasted awful." * Herman pulls off his backpack and starts looking through it for a bottle of water, which he finds momentarily. This is followed by removing his own coat. "Someone check on Togo." * Alys hops around a bit. "Ow ow ow, fuck! I hate her!" Hey, there's computers here, right? All over the bloody place. Like my blood. Bloody's right. Lots! So fix Lukas so he can work on them! Some of them are still operational, I believe. Tell me what I can do to help! Do we have fixing-wounds things? I'm at a severe loss at what to do, here. * Herman pulls off his shirt. Whoo, half-naked Herman! "I'll get to it," he says, annoyance clear. [Not the one that got banged up.] * Griff_Khalil heads over towards Togo. He smells like burnt fur and feathers. Eww. * Lukas coughs again. "You know, this job doesn't have near enough pay for this crap." * Herman pours some water on the gash and more on his hand, then runs it over the wound, muttering in that guttural tongue. [Togo seems fine physically, though it's apparent he's been drugged up with some strange drug. Or nyquil.] * Griff_Khalil releases Togo from whatever stuff is holding him. Except the drugs. Kind of hard on that account. ( Can end when you're ready. ) * Ten runs across the floor to Herman and tugs on his pants. "Luuuuuuukaaaaas!" * Lukas looks down at Ten. "You're gonna... get your clothes all bloody." * Herman allows the bleeding to slow and eventually stop, though the gash itself is still there, along with bruising. He refrains from kicking Ten. "I know, I know." * Lukas shifts his eyes to Herman. "I was talking to the doll. I pay for her clothes." * Herman walks over to Lukas and kneels to take a look at him, water bottle in hand. "Wow, she carved you up." Beat. "Strip." * Ten lets go of Herman quickly. I was talking to the doll, too. * Alys sighs and glares at Helga. She doesn't have much else to do. * Lukas smirks a little. "Okay. Must be a bit woozy." I'm so not gonna get them all bloody! * Herman glances back at Helga, and then he helps Lukas remove his clothes, since he's woozy. But not his pants. (Yet, anyway.) So, who fried the bitch? * Lukas lets Herman help him remove his clothes, focusing on trying to keep his hands on his cuts. Hooray for not bleeding to death! * Alys checks to see if the woman's wearing anything under her armor. (Alys caught the gay.) [Um, yes ¬.¬] (WE KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN.) (Woot! I told you I was contagious!) * Griff_Khalil addresses Herman, putting Togo over his shoulder. "Which one?" The one in the armor. [She's wearing simple clothes underneath. Armor chafes, y'know] * Alys starts taking off her armor. No reason to leave her slightly defended if she manages to wake up. I dunno, I totaly couldn't see anything! It sucked! ~ Alys got the final blow, if that's what you are meaning. * Herman pulls Lukas' shirt off of him and then frowns as he sees how bad the bleeding is. He washes the slice in Lukas' stomach out with a liberal amount of water. [Alys removes her armor. Helga might be related to Togo; she's missing an eye. \ ] No, I mean *fried*. You don't get burns from yo-yos. Normally. [No sign of Ashley.] Ah. That, I do not know. I am afraid I was too busy avoiding getting burnt. * Herman looks around. "Also, where the fuck is Ashley? Did he get kidnapped, too?" * Ten runs across the floor to the nearest computer that didn't get caught in the crossfire. * Griff_Khalil looks about. "I had not noticed." [Herman heals Lukas! ... A little. Goddamn, those injuries were deep.] Haven't seen him. I guess this isn't really my size, huh? * Lukas grits his teeth for a second before answering, "Was too busy being turned the second best sliced thing since sliced bread." * Herman shakes his head, pours on more water, rubs it in with the blood, and keeps chanting. * Griff_Khalil walks over near Ten. "No it is not. Is it customary in your culture for you to steal someone's clothing while they are unconcious?" * Lukas looks down at his stomach. "... isn't it supposed to be worked by now?" 2d8-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-3) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 6. I dunno. Do you want her to have armor on if she wakes up? * Herman responds in Anglo-Saxon. Or maybe that's just part of the spell. That is a point. However, she is minus one ax. Which I suspect is part of the reason there is so much blood. * Alys kicks Helga properly. Does it trully matter though? If she is part of this Artemis thing as well, she will most likely end up like the others. Also so I can do that. (Woo to RFM.) * Lukas looks over at her warily. "Shit. Artemis system. I wish I knew more about that one." (z_Z) [Lukas gets fully healed! Though he's still tired.] ( Like I said, can end whenever :P ) ( Though Ashley's still missing ) (I'm not going to be hard to find. Illusion only has a set range - follow the blood.) * Herman stops with the healing, removing his hands. "There." He gets up a little shakily and walks back to his clothes, picking up his ripped shirt and pulling it back on. * Ten turns around and walks back. "Aww, even their computers deleate themselves. It's not cool!" (Strangely, Khalil doesn't much care!) No way to recover the data? * Lukas lets go of his stoamch and looks at Herman with a faint smile. "Uh, thanks for the pick-me-up." He bends over to pick up his own jacket and put it on, so at least he's not WHOLLY shirtless. * Calculus (jrenken@tofu.sandwich.net) Quit (Quit: *thud!*) Welcome. * Herman glances at the armored lady and her electric burns, shakes his head, and shrugs on his jacket. He puts the nearly empty water bottle away and picks up his pipe again. Maybe we should get out of here. And take the armored chick with us for Togo's buddies. Just a guess. * Lukas 's head swivels to Ten for a second, then he looks back to picking up his bag. "Sounds good. Don't really want to have to apologize to the padre." Has Alys finally stopped trying to get armor her size? * Ten drags her feet the rest of the way back to Lukas. Hey, armor's not bad to have. I can't help it that I'm kinda shortish. You'd stick out if Ashley's not around. Which he isn't. No. Your size is fine. Besides, I cannot picture you in armor. * Lukas shrugs. "Hey, what do you want from the guy?" A slight weak grin. "Some of us just aren't built for bleeding." Where is Ashley anyways? You would suspect if he were still around that he would know the fighting is over. Not here. It would suck if Ashley was kidnapped. For them, I mean. He'd probably spend all his time making people look silly. Nobody'd get any work done. * Herman starts to walk out. "Trust me. He's not here." I suspect they would know how to deal with the fair folk there. [I won't bore you with the details of how you managed to exit the secret base without being seen by any guards, but you find Ashley near the vehicles.] * Lukas follows, rubbing his stomach a little on the way. * Ten climbed Lukas or Alys at some point so she wouldn't have to walk out. [Lukas looks like he just ate a good meal.] * Herman spots him. "*There* you are. What the hell, Ashley?" * Atom (Chris@141.151.24.136) Quit (Ping timeout) * Ashley is holding his shoulder and bleeding. "A rather apt description." * Herman sighs and reaches into the backpack, pulling out a water bottle. (I heal him and we drive away! End? ;P) (Sounds good!) Well, you look better than I did, eh? [End!]
