Session One
[21:28] <Pale_Wolf> And, I believe everyone's ready?
[21:28] <Aika_Fawkes> yep.
[21:28] <Pale_Wolf> Okay, I'll take the silence as a yes.
[21:28] <Jane> gtg
[21:28] <Pale_Wolf> Session Start:
[21:29] <Pale_Wolf> (I read that as 'got to go' for a second)
[21:29] <Aika_Fawkes> (YAY!)
[21:29] <Jane> Dice bot?
[21:29] <Aika_Fawkes> (Fate)
[21:29] <Fate> Konban wa.
[21:29] <Jason_Naruhodo> (PW, is the shotgun 2d6, or 2d8?)
[21:30] * Varuni stretches, pops back))
[21:30] <Pale_Wolf> (Which one? The Remington's 2d8+2, the Neostead's 2d6+2)
[21:30] <Pale_Wolf> Now, for the last few weeks, you've been in Iraq, around the city of Basra.
[21:31] <Jason_Naruhodo> (Hmm, I'll go with the neostead)
[21:31] <Pale_Wolf> You were training in desert survival alongside team two, under one Michael Asher (former 23 SAS).
[21:32] <Jane> (a mostly women group in iraw for over a month, that couldnt have been fun)
[21:32] <Pale_Wolf> (Indeed)
[21:32] * Spok_cooking is now known as Spokavriel
[21:32] <Aika_Fawkes> (Women with ridiculously large guns. Don't forget the guns)
[21:32] <Pale_Wolf> Then your briefing officer - a man technically not part of the SAS, but in on the supernatural - called you and team two in.
[21:33] <Jason_Naruhodo> (Okay, Sword, UMP< and Neostead is my loadout. )
[21:33] <Pale_Wolf> Basic story: In and around the southeastern portion of Iraq - particularly the desert area west of Basra - civilians have been going 'missing'. Nothing's turned up on them.
[21:33] <Aika_Fawkes> (Oh dear.)
[21:33] <Pale_Wolf> Anyone who travels through the area has a good chance of disappearing.
[21:34] <Pale_Wolf> Now, first this was assumed to be the work of Al Qaeda. So, a detachment from the Royal Green Jackets regiment went out to investigate.
[21:34] <Pale_Wolf> They were, as they say, pwnt.
[21:34] <Pale_Wolf> Only two survivors came back, both of them raving about 'monsters'.
[21:35] <Pale_Wolf> This is where you come in.
[21:35] <Yarrow> (You're the monsters.)
[21:36] <Pale_Wolf> The two teams are to each independently search the area - masquerading as helpless civilians (hide your guns, you guys don't wear armour), each to support the other as necessary.
[21:36] <Aika_Fawkes> (Your Mission,should you choose to accept it [and you have no choice] is to:)
[21:36] <Pale_Wolf> Identify what's been going on, and bump all hostile targets. Further support is available from HQ, including air support.
[21:37] <Pale_Wolf> Now, you've been patrolling that area of the desert for a day or two.
[21:37] <Pale_Wolf> The nights were really freaking cold - Aika almost came down with a case of laryngitis.
[21:37] <Jason_Naruhodo> (Do we have clearance to do said bumping in any way we choose? ;P)
[21:37] <Pale_Wolf> (With minimal collateral damage, otherwise yes)
[21:37] <Aika_Fawkes> (heh.)
[21:38] <Pale_Wolf> You haven't found what's up yet, but you're making decent progress at casing the desert.
[21:38] <Yarrow> (No grinding.)
[21:38] <Jane> (oh look, more sand!)
[21:38] <Aika_Fawkes> (We're in the middle of the desert with no nearby collateral targets?)
[21:38] <Pale_Wolf> (Actually, it's a rocky desert. Very little sand)
[21:38] <Pale_Wolf> (And, most astute of you
)
[21:38] <Pale_Wolf> Flash forward, you are now cleaning up your camp from last night.
[21:39] <Pale_Wolf> (Free RP, establish group dynamics and suchlike
)
[21:39] <Aika_Fawkes> "Ugh. I hate cold nights. Don't you Murray?"
[21:39] <Pale_Wolf> Murray: "Love 'em. They piss you off."
[21:39] <Jason_Naruhodo> "Oh come on, it wasn't THAT cold."
[21:40] <Aika_Fawkes> "Damn oversized Chicken."
[21:40] * Jane lays out on the hevey roabs she's forced to wear durning the day to "blend in"
[21:40] <Pale_Wolf> "Damn undersized monkey."
[21:40] <Aika_Fawkes> "You know bigger monkeys than me?"
[21:40] <Pale_Wolf> "Was talking about your chest, actually."
[21:40] * Jason_Naruhodo snorts back a chuckle, and grins, as he continues packing up.
[21:40] * Aika_Fawkes lays out her ridiculous burkha
[21:41] <Jason_Naruhodo> (Your what?)
[21:41] * Varuni beats off her clothes and grumbles. "Bad shoes, and stupid primitivie living conditions. I want my i-pod." She was eyeing the skyline, wrapped bundle in her lap.
[21:41] <Jane> "Can you two give it a break all ready?"
[21:41] <Jane> "Its only been a few minites since your last "banter""
[21:41] <Aika_Fawkes> "You hear that Murray? Jane says shut up."
[21:41] <Pale_Wolf> "Bah. Well, since you asked, babe..." The buzzard leers at you in what would be a rather disturbing manner even on a human, let alone a buzzard.
[21:42] <Jane> (witch you?)
[21:42] <Jason_Naruhodo> "So, sleep well Murray?"
[21:42] <Pale_Wolf> (Guess. You're 'babe', Aika's 'bitch'
)
[21:42] * Aika_Fawkes proceeds to look at her giant black sheet in disgust
[21:42] * Jason_Naruhodo says as he begons folding the tent canvas...
[21:42] * Aika_Fawkes steadfastly ignores the Chicken.
[21:42] <Pale_Wolf> "Like a baby. Desert's awesome."
[21:42] * Varuni eyes the group. "Do you guys mind?"
[21:43] <Aika_Fawkes> Mind what?
[21:43] * Jason_Naruhodo grins, "Yeah, it's not too different from home for me, so it is pretty nice."
[21:43] <Aika_Fawkes> *"mind What?"
[21:43] <Jason_Naruhodo> "Hmm?"
[21:43] <Varuni> "Shutting up! This is supposed to be an elite unit, not kindergarten."
[21:43] <Aika_Fawkes> "Awww... You know you love us Varuni."
[21:43] <Pale_Wolf> (Well, you _are_ pretending to be civilians...
)
[21:43] * Jason_Naruhodo twitches, "Oy, enough about my age already!"
[21:44] * Varuni flashes a sincerely sarcastic smile. "Yeah, love you so much."
[21:44] <Aika_Fawkes> "Well, either that or the opportunity to behead monsters almost indescriminately."
[21:44] <Varuni> "That's always fun too."
[21:45] <Pale_Wolf> "There're things making it all worthwhile. Even getting shot at."
[21:45] <Aika_Fawkes> "Heh. So? Anyone know where we're off tothis time? the desert to the left? or the Desert to the right?"
[21:45] <Varuni> "Bah, what're bullets compared to soul-sucking demons and what not?" Looks back out at the skyline.
[21:45] <Aika_Fawkes> "and shut it you lecherous Chicken."
[21:46] <Pale_Wolf> "Bah."
[21:46] <Jane> "Every ones so talkitve, I hope that engery last you as we spend the day walking about this wasteland."
[21:47] <Jason_Naruhodo> "Please... I didn't get this far just to faint in a dessert," he says with a snort.
[21:47] <Pale_Wolf> (Rocko, Fort save
)
[21:47] <Varuni> "Yes, more walking through rocks and heat. Maybe we should've 'commendered' a jeep and followed a group of civies. What if this thing only attacks people who speak Arabic, or whatever it is they speak here?"
[21:47] <Jason_Naruhodo> (...are you SERIOUS!? ><;)
[21:47] <Pale_Wolf> (Nope)
[21:47] <Jason_Naruhodo> (Well, good. ;P)
[21:48] <Pale_Wolf> As it happens, all of you notice... 'something'... in the distance. Four figures are moving. Not human - animal-size.
[21:48] <Aika_Fawkes> "Look! Rabid Wolverines!"
[21:48] * Jane pulls a holster from her pack and straps it to her right thigh, Then removes a large hand gun and starts slidding in round one by one.
[21:48] <Pale_Wolf> Murray stares. "Wolverines?"
[21:48] * Varuni slips the cloth wrap off her sword a little to expose the hilt. "Wolverines out here, now that would be something."
[21:49] <Jane> "On the clock ladies, it's about time to get started."
[21:49] * Jason_Naruhodo looks at Murray and shrugs, "This is the girl that shot at ya remember?"
[21:49] * Aika_Fawkes pulls out the Deadly cannon, transforms, and pulls out his C-8
[21:49] <Pale_Wolf> "True, suppose you can't expect too much from her."
[21:49] * Jason_Naruhodo takes out his trusty shotgun ...
[21:49] <Pale_Wolf> They begin approaching, moving together. As they get closer, you can recognize them as hyenas - spotted hyenas, specifically.
[21:50] <Pale_Wolf>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Spotted_hyena2.jpg
[21:50] <Aika_Fawkes> (Spot check on what the fuck they are?)
[21:50] <Pale_Wolf> (Nah, I just told you)
[21:50] <Aika_Fawkes> (Are they in range of my rifle?)
[21:50] <Varuni> "Don't those things live in the uh...what's it plains?" She frowns, peering close as possible.
[21:50] <Aika_Fawkes> "Whatever they are they look hostile."
[21:50] <Pale_Wolf> (However, yes. Wilderness Lore check: /msg Fate sendroll Pale_Wolf 1d20+(Wilderness Lore Mod) )
[21:51] <Jane> "Oh look, Lesser meatbag life forms. In the wrong envorment no less"
[21:51] <Aika_Fawkes> "Though I suppose if they just wanna eat Murray we should let em."
[21:51] <Pale_Wolf> (Actually, hyenas _are_ native to the area)
[21:51] <Jane> (not open deserts)
[21:52] <Aika_Fawkes> (rocky wastelands)
[21:52] <Aika_Fawkes> "Those Hyenas are Sotted. They aren't native. These might be our monsters."
[21:52] <Aika_Fawkes> *Spotted
[21:52] <Aika_Fawkes> (Are they in Range of my Rifle yet?)
[21:52] * Jane gets up and puts on her buster top and digs out her gloves
[21:53] <Jason_Naruhodo> "Let them eat my buddy!? Nevah!"
[21:53] <Pale_Wolf> The hyenas continue to close. One of them's drifting within range of the rifle, though.
[21:53] <Aika_Fawkes> (I fire at the Hyena)
[21:53] <Varuni> "Well I guess it want to blow them away, for it." Moves his fingers slightly, ready to unleash her magic if it was called for. She couldn't run the distance to hit those things, sadly.
[21:54] * Jane steps over near the rest and gives the chamber of her bull a spin, then flicks her rest slaming it home
[21:54] <Pale_Wolf> (You don't need to roll your attack stuff privately)
[21:54] <Aika_Fawkes> "Anyone Remember the briefing. Ghul'sshapeshift into Hyenas."
[21:54] <Pale_Wolf> roll 1d20+4
[21:54] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 1d20+4 --> 5,0[ 1d20=2 ]5,0{6}
[21:54] <Jane> "I say we kill them just for making us wait so long"
[21:54] <Pale_Wolf> The hyena doesn't dodge shit.
[21:54] <Pale_Wolf> Roll your damage.
[21:54] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 your 5,0damage. --> error: malformed expression
[21:55] <Pale_Wolf> (Doh)
[21:55] * Varuni hits on Google, "Surrender the sheet!"))
[21:55] <Pale_Wolf> roll 4#1d8+1 Aika's pwnzage
[21:55] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 4#1d8+1 5,0Aika's pwnzage --> 5,0[ 1d8=6 ]5,0{7}, 5,0[ 1d8=4 ]5,0{5}, 5,0[ 1d8=1 ]5,0{2}, 5,0[ 1d8=7 ]5,0{8}
[21:55] <Aika_Fawkes> roll 2d8+2
[21:55] <Fate> 5,0Aika_Fawkes rolled a :5,0 2d8+2 --> 5,0[ 2d8=9 ]5,0{11}
[21:55] <Aika_Fawkes> "Deadly Blaster!"
[21:56] <Pale_Wolf> (Ah, were you firing single-shot?)
[21:56] <Aika_Fawkes> (I shouldn't no. let me add the damageof the other)
[21:56] <Aika_Fawkes> DoubleTap
[21:56] <Aika_Fawkes> roll 1d8
[21:56] <Fate> 5,0Aika_Fawkes rolled a :5,0 1d8 --> 5,0[ 1d8=8 ]5,0{8}
[21:56] <Pale_Wolf> (Hm? Little late to say that now
)
[21:56] * Jane wonders if any one else hears Aika's shouting over her gunfire.
[21:56] <Aika_Fawkes> (Awww...)
[21:57] <Pale_Wolf> The hyena takes four of your five rounds, including the first one charged with pink magic.
[21:57] <Pale_Wolf> It screeches a loud, laughter-like cackle as it dies.
[21:57] <Pale_Wolf> The other three look alarmed, and move further away.
[21:57] <Pale_Wolf> (Out of range. Do you close or act?)
[21:57] <Aika_Fawkes> "Does anyone else find that not good?"
[21:57] * Varuni frowns. "Yeah, that was too easy."
[21:57] <Aika_Fawkes> (I have Farshot)
[21:57] <Pale_Wolf> (They're still in view)
[21:57] * Jane looks behind them
[21:58] <Yarrow> (What, slaughtering helpless wildlife?)
[21:58] <Jason_Naruhodo> "You ladies COULD just be over-reacting you know," he mutters with a sigh.
[21:58] <Pale_Wolf> (Send me spot rolls)
[21:58] <Jane> (send you?)
[21:58] * Varuni rises, casting off the silk wrap to her sword and looks about.
[21:58] <Pale_Wolf> (/msg Fate sendroll Pale_Wolf 1d20+(Spot mod) )
[21:58] <Pale_Wolf> Okay, Aika, Jason?
[21:59] <Aika_Fawkes> I just did
[21:59] <Jason_Naruhodo> (I did too.)
[21:59] <Pale_Wolf> Both of you notice that the 'hyenas' don't look very hyena-ey anymore.
[21:59] <Pale_Wolf> And they're growing.
[21:59] <Pale_Wolf> Big.
[21:59] <Jane> (why do that sending stuff?)
[21:59] <Pale_Wolf> As in elephant-size.
[21:59] <Pale_Wolf> (So nobody knows if they critfailed a roll
)
[21:59] <Aika_Fawkes> "Is it just me, or are those Hyenas Way to Damn Large?"
[21:59] * Jason_Naruhodo frowns, "I take that back," he says as he holsters his shotgun and draws his sword...
[22:00] <Pale_Wolf> (Gonna change? _They're_ taking the time to transform)
[22:00] <Pale_Wolf> They don't look like hyenas more actually.
[22:00] <Aika_Fawkes> "Murray. Try and Exorcise em."
[22:00] <Pale_Wolf> "Hah? You kidding bitch? They're totally mundane critters, you'll have to do the hard work yourself."
[22:00] <Varuni> "Great...we had to be right..." she mumbles, assuming her classic attack stance, knees bent, sword spun under her arm.
[22:00] <Pale_Wolf> Right now, they look rather humanoid.
[22:00] <Aika_Fawkes> "Mundane creatures my Ass! Those are Ghul!"
[22:00] <Jason_Naruhodo> (Retcon that line then...)
[22:01] * Jane just snorts and starts walking to the things
[22:01] * Jason_Naruhodo frowns, "I take that back," he says as he holds out his hand as Model-S appears within it...
[22:01] <Jason_Naruhodo> "Model-S... Setup!"
[22:01] <Pale_Wolf> They look rather thin and emaciated. Hungry, boney. Sunken skin, hunched over...
[22:02] <Pale_Wolf> Also, a light brown tone that's a little 'off' for being human. Even presuming they weren't elephant-size.
[22:02] <Pale_Wolf> They turn, and begin running right back at you.
[22:02] <Pale_Wolf> Everyone, init rolls.
[22:02] <Aika_Fawkes> (Any within range?)
[22:02] <Aika_Fawkes> (init is dex + improved Init right?)
[22:02] <Pale_Wolf> (Yep.)
[22:03] <Aika_Fawkes> roll 1d20+4
[22:03] <Fate> 5,0Aika_Fawkes rolled a :5,0 1d20+4 --> 5,0[ 1d20=19 ]5,0{23}
[22:03] <Pale_Wolf> "Model-S' 'eye's and the crystal embeded in it's face seem to flicker weakly before they glow strongly as a bright glow flashes around Jason...
[22:03] * Jason_Naruhodo is now known as Saber
[22:03] <Jane> Roll 1d20+7
[22:03] <Fate> 5,0Jane rolled a :5,0 1d20+7 --> 5,0[ 1d20=13 ]5,0{20}

[22:03] * Aika_Fawkes is now known as Pretty_Deadly

[22:04] <Pale_Wolf> roll 1d20+11 Dorin init
[22:04] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 1d20+11 5,0Dorin init --> 5,0[ 1d20=18 ]5,0{29}
[22:04] * Pale_Wolf changes topic to 'Ghul battle. Order: Varuni, Aika, Jane, Ghul #2, Ghul #1, Saber, Ghul #3'
[22:04] <Yarrow> (Pretty Deadly? That sounds awfully familiar...)
[22:04] <Pale_Wolf> Varuni, your move.
[22:04] <Pretty_Deadly> "You damn Chicken. Exorcise those Ghul!"
[22:05] <Saber> (Too familiar... Strat, I'm gonna kill you. ><;)
[22:05] <Pretty_Deadly> (quiet Rockman ZX)
[22:05] <Pale_Wolf> "Like I told ya bitch, the power of the lord don't compel 'em."
[22:05] <Varuni> Stupid thing won't surrender my sheet! Grr))
[22:05] <Pretty_Deadly> "You aren't Catholic you Chicken!"
[22:05] <Pale_Wolf> (Don't worry, I've got it.)
[22:05] <Pale_Wolf> (Tell me what you're doing)
[22:06] <Pale_Wolf> "Same diff. And who're YOU to know? We met in Rome, home of the Catholic."
[22:06] <Pretty_Deadly> (murray doesn't get an init?)
[22:06] <Varuni> Avoid and Sword Flash the closest I suppose for now))
[22:06] <Pale_Wolf> (Indeed)
[22:06] <Pretty_Deadly> "You're A BIRD!"
[22:06] <Pale_Wolf> (Not sniping with Azure Dragon?)
[22:06] <Saber> (I'm gonna start off by dashing to the closest one, and making sashimi out of it...)
[22:06] <Varuni> Not at the moment no))
[22:07] <Pale_Wolf> (Okay, wait up, let's get this done. Varuni's evading, Aika?)
[22:07] <Pale_Wolf> roll 1d20+0 Murray init

[22:07] <Pretty_Deadly> (they in range for a deadly Shot?)
[22:07] <Pale_Wolf> (Yep)
[22:07] <Saber> "Guys, fight now! Argue later!", he grumbles, his voice now electronically synthesised...
[22:08] <Pretty_Deadly> roll 1d20+9 "DEADLY SHOT!"
[22:08] <Fate> 5,0Pretty_Deadly rolled a :5,0 1d20+9 5,0"DEADLY SHOT!" --> 5,0[ 1d20=1 ]5,0{10}
[22:08] <Pretty_Deadly> ...
[22:08] <Pretty_Deadly> "Fuck."
[22:08] <Yarrow> (As the tone is set for the rest of the campaign.
)
[22:08] <Varuni> That's deadly alright...))
[22:08] <Saber> (Yarrow: lol)
[22:08] <Jane> ( i see wolfie uses the same dice bot)
[22:08] <Pale_Wolf> Well... Um, Pretty Deadly's bullet ends up pretty deadly to Saber who was charging... Saber, roll dodge.
[22:09] <Yarrow> (Don't fumble.
)
[22:09] <Jane> (saber roll damage?)
[22:09] <Pale_Wolf> (Dodge first)
[22:09] <Varuni> And Saber trips over his own feet and smashes fast first into the ground))

[22:10] <Yarrow> (Obviously, he deflects the shot back on target.
)
[22:10] <Pretty_Deadly> (Two Crits. Nice...)
[22:10] <Pale_Wolf> Saber apparently displays preternatural instincts, smoothly evading a bullet from _behind_ without ever seeming to notice it was coming.
[22:10] <Pale_Wolf> Jane?
[22:11] * Jane starts walking to the targets and readys her gun
[22:11] <Varuni> There, sheet is up...))
[22:11] <Pale_Wolf> (Firing? You're in medium range)
[22:11] <Jane> "Enemies Confirmed"

[22:15] <Jane> (+1d6 is the HP effect)
[22:16] <Pale_Wolf> Two of the most powerful handgun rounds in the world tear downrange at the huge thing. Unfortunately... Its skin is surprisingly tough. The hollow-points kind of clunk into it without piercing anything.
[22:16] <Jane> (rats)
[22:16] * Jane notices the lack of effect and holsters her gun
[22:17] <Pretty_Deadly> (but my Magic Killed Em?)
[22:17] <Pale_Wolf> (Size change. They're tougher now)
[22:17] <Pale_Wolf> Ghuls #2 and #1 are charging forward at an unbelievable rate - they've already eaten up almost four fifths of the distance.
[22:17] <Pretty_Deadly> (Fuck.)
[22:17] <Jane> (HP rounds suck on armor)
[22:17] <Pale_Wolf> However, they do not attempt any kind of attack.
[22:17] <Pale_Wolf> Saber is charging to meet them as well.
[22:18] <Saber> (Can I make a fly-by attack with the saber?)
[22:18] <Pale_Wolf> (You're not in-range)
[22:18] <Pale_Wolf> (Next turn you should be though)
[22:18] <Pretty_Deadly> (hah. Melee.)
[22:18] <Saber> (Damn... What about with the beam laser?)
[22:19] <Pale_Wolf> (Well... it's static. You can take retcon-damage from no longer being able to avoid Deadly Shot...)
[22:19] <Pale_Wolf> (You can use a gun though)
[22:20] <Saber> (Hmm, machine pistol then.)
[22:20] <Pale_Wolf> (That's not even _issue_. UMP?)
[22:21] <Saber> (Yeah, the UMP)
[22:21] <Pale_Wolf> (+6 is your mod)
[22:21] <Pale_Wolf> (Roll it up)
[22:21] <Saber> roll 1d20+6
[22:21] <Fate> 5,0Saber rolled a :5,0 1d20+6 --> 5,0[ 1d20=9 ]5,0{15}
[22:22] <Pale_Wolf> roll 1d20 whichever ghul is dodging.
[22:22] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 1d20 5,0whichever ghul is dodging. --> 5,0[ 1d20=4 ]5,0{4}
[22:22] <Pale_Wolf> (Which were you shooting?)
[22:22] * Spokavriel is now known as Spok_book
[22:22] <Saber> (Closest one I guess.)
[22:22] <Pale_Wolf> (They're about even)
[22:23] <Saber> (The one in the middle then)
[22:23] <Pale_Wolf> roll 3#1d8+4 Ghul #2 pain
[22:23] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 3#1d8+4 5,0Ghul #2 pain --> 5,0[ 1d8=5 ]5,0{9}, 5,0[ 1d8=8 ]5,0{12}, 5,0[ 1d8=5 ]5,0{9}
[22:23] <Saber> (One of the ones in the middle. You pick)
[22:24] <Saber> (...shouldn't I be rolling damage? o_O)
[22:24] <Pale_Wolf> One of the ghuls staggers slightly as three rounds from a UMP-45 slam into it.
[22:24] <Pale_Wolf> (Did it for ya
)
[22:24] <Saber> (Right, thanks.
)
[22:24] <Pale_Wolf> In fact, it's staggering quite heavily.
[22:25] <Pale_Wolf> The third huge human-ey thing approaches as well, the ground actually 'thudding' under his steps.
[22:25] <Pale_Wolf> End round, Varuni again.
[22:25] <Pretty_Deadly> (no Murray?)
[22:25] <Pretty_Deadly> (not even a force field?)
[22:25] <Varuni> Judge Opponent, which one is weakest?)
[22:26] <Pretty_Deadly> probably the one staggering in pain?
[22:27] <Varuni> Nah, he's playing opposum)
[22:27] <Pretty_Deadly> *()
[22:27] <Pale_Wolf> Action?
[22:27] * Varuni blue-white power crackles up her arm, sending her Azure Dragon downrange at #2 (assuming I'm in range, yes?)
[22:27] <Pale_Wolf> (Yep, you were in-range from last round)
[22:28] <Saber> (Please don't roll a 1. -.-)
[22:28] <Varuni> roll 1d20+11 Die #2!
[22:28] <Fate> 5,0Varuni rolled a :5,0 1d20+11 5,0Die #2! --> 5,0[ 1d20=14 ]5,0{25}
[22:28] <Pale_Wolf> roll 1d20
[22:28] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 1d20 --> 5,0[ 1d20=4 ]5,0{4}
[22:28] <Pale_Wolf> It tries to dodge. It fails.
[22:28] <Pale_Wolf> (Roll your pain)
[22:28] <Pretty_Deadly> (Wait. my Deadly Cannon is Accurized with Lazer sight and scope...)
[22:29] <Varuni> roll 2d8
[22:29] <Fate> 5,0Varuni rolled a :5,0 2d8 --> 5,0[ 2d8=8 ]5,0{8}
[22:29] <Pretty_Deadly> (that's +3 that I didn't roll last time...)
[22:29] <Jane> (the scope only counts if you take a turn to aim)
[22:29] <Pale_Wolf> The dragon-shaped energy blast 'thuds' into it, caving in its shoulder slightly. It's still coming though.
[22:29] <Jane> (less metagaming more blasting)
[22:29] <Pretty_Deadly> (+2 then)
[22:29] <Varuni> "Damn!"
[22:30] <Pale_Wolf> Aika.
[22:30] <Pretty_Deadly> "Deadly Shot!"
[22:30] <Pretty_Deadly> roll 1d20+11
[22:30] <Fate> 5,0Pretty_Deadly rolled a :5,0 1d20+11 --> 5,0[ 1d20=9 ]5,0{20}
[22:30] <Pale_Wolf> roll 1d20
[22:30] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 1d20 --> 5,0[ 1d20=20 ]5,0{20}
[22:30] <Pretty_Deadly> (er. +10 rather)
[22:31] <Pretty_Deadly> (no. it is +11)
[22:31] <Varuni> But he dodges anyway))
[22:31] <Pretty_Deadly> (Damn crits.)
[22:31] <Pale_Wolf> Ghul #2, stirred to excellence by his wounds, manages to jump OVER all Aika's rounds, thumping back to the ground and still coming.
[22:31] * Jane calms draws C-8 and sholders it as the thing keeps charging.
[22:31] <Pale_Wolf> Jane.
[22:31] <Pretty_Deadly> "Fucking Asshole Ghuls!"
[22:32] <Pale_Wolf> (Firing?)
[22:32] <Varuni> "What I wouldn't give for a grenade or five!"
[22:32] <Jane> (yes)
[22:32] <Jane> "Ordinance adjusted"
[22:33] <Jane> Roll 2#1d20+12-2 rappid and auto fire.
[22:33] <Fate> 5,0Jane rolled a :5,0 2#1d20+12-2 5,0rappid and auto fire. --> 5,0[ 1d20=1 ]5,0{11}, 5,0[ 1d20=12 ]5,0{22}
[22:33] <Jane> (fack)
[22:33] <Pretty_Deadly> (they in Grenade Range?)
[22:34] <Jane> (as are me and saber you nut)
[22:34] <Pale_Wolf> (Not yet)
[22:34] <Pale_Wolf> (Ow. Um... I really don't wanna make Saber roll a dodge _again_, so...)
[22:34] <Pale_Wolf> (Wait. He has a healer. Saaaaaabeerr....)
[22:34] <Saber> (...fuck.)
[22:34] <Jane> (he can't be in both out paths)
[22:35] <Pale_Wolf> (Well, it's a critfail, it's going around totally at random)
[22:35] <Jane> (were not fighting on a small 4fot lane road)
[22:35] <Pale_Wolf> (Fair enough. All right, no Saber dodge. Instead, the gun jams on the first blast of autofire. Jane doesn't try something insane like firing the second just yet)
[22:36] <Pale_Wolf> (However, you still have an attack, you can get off some rounds from the Bull)
[22:37] * Jane drops the jamed gun and redraws her sidearm
[22:37] <Jane> ROll 1d20+1 nothing fancy here
[22:37] <Fate> 5,0Jane rolled a :5,0 1d20+1 5,0nothing fancy here --> 5,0[ 1d20=17 ]5,0{18}
[22:38] <Pale_Wolf> roll 1d20-2 Ghul dodge
[22:38] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 1d20-2 5,0Ghul dodge --> 5,0[ 1d20=2 ]5,0{0}
[22:38] <Pale_Wolf> It barely even _moves_ in your arc of fire.
[22:38] <Jane> Roll 2d8+1d6+2
[22:38] <Fate> 5,0Jane rolled a :5,0 2d8+1d6+2 --> 5,0[ 2d8=14 1d6=4 ]5,0{20}
[22:38] <Pretty_Deadly> (YAY!)
[22:39] <Varuni> Ooorah!))
[22:39] <Pale_Wolf> Over 70% of the bullets energy is lost as it deforms on the goddamn thing's tough skin. However... 30% is enough to drop it, moaning as it slides across the rocky desert floor.
[22:40] <Pretty_Deadly> (Yay! and really. Hollowpointson armor?)
[22:40] <Pale_Wolf> (Hey, it was what was loaded)
[22:40] <Saber> (Hmm was that the one I shopt previously?)
[22:40] <Pale_Wolf> (Yep)
[22:40] * Jane starts walking up to the thing keeping her gun on it.
[22:40] <Pale_Wolf> Ghul #1 trumpets in rage and slows its charge at Jane slightly. 'Slow' for this thing being faster than anyone bar Varuni.
[22:41] <Saber> (... you sonnova! You stole my kill!
)
[22:41] <Pale_Wolf> It crosses most of the distance in one go, and swipes at Jane with both of its huge clawed arms.
[22:41] <Jane> (ahh i figered we droped em both)
[22:41] <Pretty_Deadly> (Your kill, her kill. The things Dead. I hope.)
[22:41] <Pale_Wolf> roll 2#1d20+3
[22:41] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 2#1d20+3 --> 5,0[ 1d20=3 ]5,0{6}, 5,0[ 1d20=2 ]5,0{5}
[22:41] <Pale_Wolf> (It's alive, but moaning in agony)
[22:41] <Pale_Wolf> (Melee dodge, Jane)
[22:42] <Varuni> This is hardly the time for a pissing contest over who killed what
))
[22:42] <Pretty_Deadly> (Coup de gras?)
[22:42] <Pale_Wolf> (You can do that when you're not fighting for your lives
)
[22:42] <Pale_Wolf> (Or now, but...)
[22:42] <Jane> Roll 1d20+4
[22:42] <Fate> 5,0Jane rolled a :5,0 1d20+4 --> 5,0[ 1d20=19 ]5,0{23}
[22:42] <Jane> Roll 1d20+2
[22:42] <Fate> 5,0Jane rolled a :5,0 1d20+2 --> 5,0[ 1d20=5 ]5,0{7}
[22:42] * Jane just slides around the swings
[22:43] <Saber> (lol)
[22:43] <Saber> (My turn?)
[22:43] <Pale_Wolf> The ghul howls in anger as it tries but doesn't quite manage to hit her.
[22:43] <Pretty_Deadly> (I should get Improved Critical...)
[22:43] <Pale_Wolf> And, yep.
[22:43] * Saber notices ghul #2 attacking Jane.
[22:43] * Saber slaps the UMP to his waist, where it attatches nanomechanically, before drawing and ignigting his saber, and attacking the ghul in one clean motion...
[22:43] <Pale_Wolf> (Leap attack, or regular?)
[22:44] <Pretty_Deadly> (is leap added damage with a ranged weapon?)
[22:44] <Pale_Wolf> (Actually... You can't _do_ Leap on #1 anyway, it's got higher Init)
[22:44] <Saber> (Eh, leap attack, I guess... What do I do?)
[22:45] <Pale_Wolf> (And, not unless it's a weapon based on that sort of motion)
[22:45] <Pale_Wolf> (Never mind, you can only Leap Attack #3. Just roll a normal attack)
[22:45] <Pretty_Deadly> (like what? a catapult?)
[22:45] <Saber> (...huh? dude, I got Leap-attack because I thought it applied to my be4amsaber!)
[22:45] <Pale_Wolf> (I mean, a weapon that actually involves a forceful melee motion)
[22:45] <Pale_Wolf> (Leap Attack requires you to have a higher Init)
[22:45] <Pretty_Deadly> (That's MeleeIt counts Rock))
[22:45] <Saber> (...and A beamsaber does?)
[22:45] <Pale_Wolf> (You could do it on #3, but #1 has a higher Init than you)
[22:46] <Pretty_Deadly> (Beam SaberIs Melee It'll work)
[22:46] <Pale_Wolf> (I was talking to Strat about using it on a ranged attack)
[22:46] <Saber> (Forget it, I'll go standard.)
[22:46] <Pale_Wolf> (+10)
[22:46] <Saber> roll 1d20+10 Beamsaber
[22:46] <Fate> 5,0Saber rolled a :5,0 1d20+10 5,0Beamsaber --> 5,0[ 1d20=11 ]5,0{21}
[22:46] <Pale_Wolf> roll 1d20
[22:46] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 1d20 --> 5,0[ 1d20=5 ]5,0{5}
[22:47] <Pale_Wolf> The ghul's too distracted by Jane, even when it makes a vague attempt at dodging.
[22:47] <Saber> roll 4d8
[22:47] <Fate> 5,0Saber rolled a :5,0 4d8 --> 5,0[ 4d8=22 ]5,0{22}
[22:47] <Saber> "HIYAH!"
[22:47] <Pale_Wolf> The ghul SHRIEKS as Saber's light-blade carves a massive furrow into its back.
[22:49] <Saber> (Does a whole lotof blood gush out in gratitious amounts? ;P)
[22:49] <Pretty_Deadly> (You don't wanna get a Demonic VD do you Rock?
[22:49] <Pale_Wolf> Sure, sure, lotsa blood pours out. It's normal red, not blue or anything. Splashes all over Saber's armour.
[22:50] * Fate has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
[22:50] <Pale_Wolf> Ghul #3 alters its charge and attempts to reward Saber's heroics. Its head launches forward, neck stretching to accomodate it as it crosses nearly ten meters to try and snap him up in its jaws.
Session Close: Fri Jun 01 22:50:21 2007
[22:50] <Pale_Wolf> (Which it will find much easier with a dicebot)
[22:50] <Pretty_Deadly> (Oooh! Creepy!)
[22:50] * Fate has joined #magicalgirlcontract
[22:50] <Pale_Wolf> roll 1d20+9
[22:50] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 1d20+9 --> 5,0[ 1d20=18 ]5,0{27}
[22:51] <Pretty_Deadly> (Wow. Even your Bot's Connection sucks.)
[22:51] <Pale_Wolf> (Dodge, Saber-man)
[22:51] <Saber> roll 1d20+4 Dodge! Dodge like the wind!
[22:51] <Fate> 5,0Saber rolled a :5,0 1d20+4 5,0Dodge! Dodge like the wind! --> 5,0[ 1d20=10 ]5,0{14}
[22:51] <Saber> (>.<0
[22:52] <Pale_Wolf> Saber dodges a little more like the earth.
[22:52] <Varuni> Dodge like the wind into the jaws of death...)
[22:52] <Pretty_Deadly> "murray you Lazy Asshole! Shield Them! Or someone!"
[22:52] <Pale_Wolf> (Saber's out of range for it anyway. Only you gunners who weren't charging will work for that. And he will)
[22:52] <Pale_Wolf> roll 1d3+1d6+14
[22:52] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 1d3+1d6+14 --> 5,0[ 1d3=3 1d6=2 ]5,0{19}
[22:53] <Pale_Wolf> Its fangs 'chomp' into Saber's armour, and through it without too much trouble.
[22:53] <Pale_Wolf> (Any actions, like screaming in pain?)
[22:54] <Jane> (take it like man!)
[22:54] * Saber lets off a stream of expletives, many of which he picked up in the SAS...
[22:54] <Varuni> Real robots don't scram)
[22:54] <Saber> (I'm not a real robot. ;P)
[22:54] <Pale_Wolf> Murray snorts and flaps his wings. "Looks like you girls'll need a whole _lotta_ help."
[22:54] <Varuni>
Then by all means whine like Akane))
[22:54] <Pale_Wolf> roll 3d8
[22:54] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 3d8 --> 5,0[ 3d8=14 ]5,0{14}
[22:55] <Saber> "Who're you calling a girl!"
[22:55] <Pale_Wolf> Saber feels a sudden sense of relief as _most_ of his wounds seem to seal over. Though the thing's still got him in its jaws.
[22:55] * Pretty_Deadly has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
[22:55] <Varuni> ...)
[22:55] <Pale_Wolf> (Bah.)
[22:56] * Stratagemini has joined #magicalgirlcontract
[22:56] <Pale_Wolf> A pink wall of light expands out from Murray, encompassing Jane and Aika and Varuni.
[22:56] * Stratagemini is now known as Aika_Fawkes
[22:56] <Pale_Wolf> (Welcome back Strat)
[22:56] <Pale_Wolf> End of round. Varuni.
[22:56] <Aika_Fawkes> (nice.)
[22:56] <Saber> (Retcon my line back there. ;P)
[22:56] <Pale_Wolf> (Heh)
[22:57] <Jane> (janes ahead of the rest closer to them and saber)
[22:57] <Varuni> "Ah damn, can't join in melee...Oh well" chucks off another blast, this one #3 [and chars Saber in the process]
[22:57] <Pale_Wolf> (Hm. 'kay then)
[22:57] <Pale_Wolf> (Yeah you can. You know you can walk right through the forcewall)
[22:57] <Pale_Wolf> (It's just the _other_ way that's blocked)
[22:58] <Varuni> Ah; what's the range?)
[22:58] <Pale_Wolf> Real close. You can make it to melee with either of them with no penalties.
[22:58] <Varuni> okay; then dash out and try hitting #3 with Sword Flash)
[22:59] <Pale_Wolf> Especially given YOU. You've got friggin speed. You could've crossed liked the _entire_ gap in the first round with no penalties.
[22:59] <Pale_Wolf> (Not the all-but-dead one attacking the gunner?)
[22:59] <Pale_Wolf> (Righto, roll it)
[22:59] <Varuni> roll 1d20+12
[22:59] <Fate> 5,0Varuni rolled a :5,0 1d20+12 --> 5,0[ 1d20=5 ]5,0{17}

[23:00] <Fate> 5,0Varuni rolled a :5,0 3d8+3 --> 5,0[ 3d8=8 ]5,0{11}
[23:00] <Pale_Wolf> (Which one are you attacking?)
[23:00] <Jane> (heh,shield was a bitmuch)
[23:00] <Varuni> The one Saber)
[23:00] <Varuni> on saber)
[23:01] <Pale_Wolf> It kinda yelps at you, but doesn't seem _too_ incredibly bothered. It's good to go still.
[23:01] <Pale_Wolf> Aika.
[23:01] <Aika_Fawkes> roll 1d20+9 Doubletap "Deadly Shot!" (on the undamaged Ghul)
[23:01] <Fate> 5,0Aika_Fawkes rolled a :5,0 1d20+9 5,0Doubletap "Deadly Shot!" (on the undamaged Ghul) --> 5,0[ 1d20=5 ]5,0{14}

[23:01] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 1d20-2 --> 5,0[ 1d20=17 ]5,0{15}
[23:01] <Aika_Fawkes> (DAMN FUCKING SHIT!)
[23:01] * Varuni hugs poor Strat))
[23:02] <Aika_Fawkes> (Why won't you let me do 6D8?)
[23:02] <Aika_Fawkes> (I could annihilate them... but no...)
[23:02] <Pale_Wolf> (Um... You sure you WANT to be firing that off now? You don't have many, and there's worse waiting for you)
[23:02] <Saber> (And how would that be fun for the REST of us!?)
[23:02] <Pale_Wolf> The damn thing - still holding Saber high in its mouth - ducks back and all-but-ignores the two bullets.
[23:03] <Saber> (And yeah... Save the special stuff for later.)
[23:03] <Pale_Wolf> Jane.
[23:03] <Aika_Fawkes> (I have plenty of EP thanks to Energy Bonus)
[23:03] <Pale_Wolf> The ghul in front of you is moaning in pain, but still coming.
[23:03] * Jane stand still and reloads her bull
[23:03] <Jane> "Adjusting munitions, Reloaded. "
[23:04] <Jane> Roll 2#1d20+10 #3
[23:04] <Fate> 5,0Jane rolled a :5,0 2#1d20+10 5,0#3 --> 5,0[ 1d20=6 ]5,0{16}, 5,0[ 1d20=18 ]5,0{28}

[23:04] <Aika_Fawkes> (EP cost is what? equal to the Rank?)
[23:04] * Jane caps two rounds off at the thing chewing on her teammate
[23:04] <Pale_Wolf> (Times two)
[23:04] <Pale_Wolf> (Ah, not the one attacking you?)
[23:04] <Jane> Roll 2#2d8+2

[23:05] <Jane> (just wait)
[23:05] <Pale_Wolf> The ghul tries to dodge as the chunks of lead fly in at it, but largely fails.
[23:05] <Aika_Fawkes> (You sure? damn. just 1 left.)
[23:05] <Pale_Wolf> (And, there're still two around. One extremely wounded)
[23:05] <Pale_Wolf> The ghul gnawing on Saber rears back under the bullets, but is still in the game.
[23:05] * Jane smirks are she turns and puts two more into the one near her
[23:06] <Pale_Wolf> (Ah, the lower BAB?)

[23:06] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 1d20-2 --> 5,0[ 1d20=10 ]5,0{8}
[23:06] <Jane> roll 2d8+2
[23:06] <Fate> 5,0Jane rolled a :5,0 2d8+2 --> 5,0[ 2d8=15 ]5,0{17}
[23:07] <Pale_Wolf> The ghul behind her snorts and tries to charge while her back's turned. Conveniently, that's about when she fires at it. The first shot's a little sloppy as she was turning, and doesn't take more than a twitch to evade, but the second is dead on.
[23:07] <Pale_Wolf> As it happens, the bullet REALLY FUCKING HURTS. At least, given that its ribcage sorta explodes, you _assume_ it hurt.
[23:07] <Pale_Wolf> (Dead and frigging pwnt)
[23:08] <Jane> "Taunting statement: Owned bitch. "
[23:08] <Pale_Wolf> (Saber?)
[23:08] <Aika_Fawkes> (What's the range on them from me? are they point Blank range?)
[23:08] <Aika_Fawkes> (30 ft)
[23:09] <Pale_Wolf> (Nah, they're point-blank to Jane, but you're still in short range)
[23:09] <Saber> (Am I still being snacked on?)
[23:09] <Jane> (htis is fun, i like jane)
[23:09] <Aika_Fawkes> (Yep! Robot. The other... metalic meat.)
[23:10] <Pale_Wolf> Yep. You can attack at a -4 bonus, or try to escape (roll str or dex modified by Unarmed Defence)
[23:10] <Saber> (Hmm, what's the mod for slicing off it's lower jaw? ;P)
[23:10] * Alathon has joined #magicalgirlcontract
[23:11] <Pale_Wolf> -4. It's a little hard to get around its jaws on you, but probably manageable.
[23:11] <Saber> (And with the beamlaser?)
[23:11] <Pale_Wolf> Also -4, I'll say.
[23:11] <Saber> (Okay...)
[23:12] * Saber mutters, "Heh, eat this!" as he triues to slice the things lower jaw off...
[23:12] <Saber> roll 1d20+10-4 Beamsaber
[23:12] <Fate> 5,0Saber rolled a :5,0 1d20+10-4 5,0Beamsaber --> 5,0[ 1d20=20 ]5,0{26}
[23:12] <Pale_Wolf> roll 1d20 does it spit you out in time?
[23:12] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 1d20 5,0does it spit you out in time? --> 5,0[ 1d20=11 ]5,0{11}
[23:12] <Pale_Wolf> (Damage)
[23:12] <Pale_Wolf> (8d8)
[23:12] <Saber> roll 8d8
[23:12] <Fate> 5,0Saber rolled a :5,0 8d8 --> 5,0[ 8d8=34 ]5,0{34}
[23:12] <Saber> "Yah!"
[23:13] <Aika_Fawkes> (His jaw? That's a whole Head.)
[23:13] <Saber> *Vwoom*
[23:13] <Pale_Wolf> Saber's slash at its jaw kinda... 'slips'. A good slip though, given that the friggin thing carved through the jaw... then its entire torso, cleaving it in half.
[23:13] <Aika_Fawkes> (At least I killed one by myself...)
[23:14] * Saber lands on his feet with a flip.
[23:14] <Pale_Wolf> (Well, you can execute the survivor
)
[23:14] <Pale_Wolf> Murray snorts. "Hah! Didn't need my help, huh?"
[23:14] <Pale_Wolf> (Actually... Reflex save
)
[23:14] <Aika_Fawkes> "Yeah. Loads of help you were. Heal Rock up you damn chicken."
[23:15] <Saber> (Rock?)
[23:15] <Saber> (Who's rock?)
[23:15] <Aika_Fawkes> (*Saber)
[23:15] <Saber> roll 1d20+8 reflex
[23:15] <Fate> 5,0Saber rolled a :5,0 1d20+8 5,0reflex --> 5,0[ 1d20=8 ]5,0{16}
[23:15] <Pale_Wolf> Murray stares at him. "... Well, ya know, I _would_, but he's not actually scratched, bitch."
[23:15] <Pale_Wolf> (You pull off that move
)
[23:15] <Varuni> Such a nice cannary you have there))
[23:15] <Saber> "He's right you know," he mutters as he lets out a breath.
[23:16] <Aika_Fawkes> "Didn't he just get Bitten?"
[23:16] <Saber> "Err... Model-S can... You know. I'm not even gonna bother."
[23:16] <Pale_Wolf> (You don't know that yet Saber
)
[23:16] <Aika_Fawkes> "Oh right.freaky ass healing thingy."
[23:16] <Pale_Wolf> (As far as you guys know, he's taken a few scratches and relatively light wounds, had a kinda quick healing rate.)
[23:16] <Aika_Fawkes> (Retcon that statement then)
[23:16] <Jane> "Still on the clock ladies!"
[23:17] <Pale_Wolf> (But, nothing like this)
[23:17] <Jane> "We got one left,"
[23:17] <Saber> (yeah.)
[23:17] <Pale_Wolf> The surviving ghul moans slightly.
[23:17] * Jane starts nearing the downed Ghul with her gone drawn
[23:17] <Aika_Fawkes> "Right. execution style then? It's not going anywhere."
[23:17] <Jane> "Give up or do i end you?"
[23:17] * Varuni mumbles and turns to the remaining, "Whatever floats your boat."
[23:17] <Jane> (Are these things even ittlegent?)
[23:17] <Aika_Fawkes> (Do GhulsHave intelligence?"
[23:18] <Pale_Wolf> The ghul just _snarls_ at Jane.
[23:18] * Jane waves her very big gun a bit
[23:18] <Pale_Wolf> (Childish level at best)
[23:18] <Varuni> "Just kill it." Runs a hand over her forehead.
[23:18] <Jane> "Where are the others."
[23:19] <Jane> "I find it hard to belive these three took out so many soilders by them selfs"
[23:20] <Jane> "For having made so many kills they are all so oddly under fed and weak"
[23:20] <Pale_Wolf> It whimpers a little at the sight of the gun, but doesn't seem to know how to respond.
[23:20] <Pale_Wolf> (It knows you're interrogating, but doesn't know what you're asking)
[23:20] <Varuni> "You have a point." Grabs the wrap and runs it back around the sword.
[23:20] <Aika_Fawkes> "Shoot the thing already. It can't understand you Jane."
[23:21] * Varuni pauses and gestures to the thing. "Thought, maybe there's something bigger out there?"
[23:21] <Saber> "Pity we can't drag it back to HQ," he says as he detransforms, Beamsaber disappearing with his armour...
[23:21] * Saber is now known as Jason_Naruhodo
[23:21] <Jason_Naruhodo> "Everyone alright?"
[23:21] <Aika_Fawkes> "You want Murray To Stash it in Gunspace?"
[23:21] <Jane> "Leave it, We can follow it later when it limps back to its current home"
[23:22] <Pale_Wolf> (Speaking of HQ, you gonna call the Head Shed?)
[23:22] <Pale_Wolf> (Report in that you made contact?)
[23:22] * Jason_Naruhodo does.
[23:22] * Jane reloads her sidearm with spare rounds and holsters it
[23:22] <Jason_Naruhodo> "And Jane, thanks."
[23:22] * Aika_Fawkes reloads teh Deadly cannon and her rifle
[23:23] <Jason_Naruhodo> (Lemme know who else tried to kill the thing biting me... ;P)
[23:23] <Pale_Wolf> (Okay, RP for now - tell me when you're actually making the call. We'll act it out)
[23:23] <Varuni> Me
))
[23:23] <Pale_Wolf> (And, Jane and Varuni and Aika all attacked it)
[23:23] <Jason_Naruhodo> (Fuck. =_=;)
[23:23] * Jason_Naruhodo thanks them all then
[23:24] <Jane> "Be more carefull in the future."
[23:24] <Jason_Naruhodo> "I will."
[23:24] * Jason_Naruhodo will make that call now...
[23:24] <Pale_Wolf> Static crackles slightly on the radio, then a smooth, husky female voice drifts across the line. "Team Three, we read you, over. Do you have a report?"
[23:24] * Aika_Fawkes knocks the Ghul unconscious.
[23:24] <Varuni> Tosses her sword over her shoulder, holding the tie string for its cover, smoothing down her robes with a sigh. "Yeah, don't need you turning into cornedbeef so soon." She winked.
[23:25] * Jason_Naruhodo grins back.
[23:25] * Jane heads over to retrive her C-8 and the two unspent Hollow point rounds she ejected earler.
[23:25] <Aika_Fawkes> "Yeah. Ran into some Ghuls. We've dispatched them all and have one Prisoner."
[23:25] <Jason_Naruhodo> (I'm, talking here. :<)
[23:26] <Pale_Wolf> The woman sounds like she's frowning, and you hear the rustle of pages turning. "Ghuls? Hm... That's the Arabic-type desert demon, right? What happened?"
[23:26] <Aika_Fawkes> (you wanna do the debrief Saber?)
[23:26] <Jason_Naruhodo> (You know... you go ahead Strat. Only next time when I say I'm making the report, LET ME!!!)
[23:26] <Jason_Naruhodo> (><;)
[23:26] <Pale_Wolf> (Everyone can talk in, it's a big radio)
[23:27] * Jane Examines the guns frame and chamber. 鏑ast time I trust standard issue,・she grins at the idea of adjusting the C-8
[23:27] * Jason_Naruhodo will describe the combat, and will give a visual description of all three... If that's entirely neccessary.
[23:27] <Aika_Fawkes> "They approached us disguised as Hyenas. I Dispatched one. they transformed and my teamates Dispatched 2 more. We have one Unconscious currently and donot believe these were the culprits."
[23:28] <Jason_Naruhodo> (If not, he'll stick with a basic description of how they looked like Hyenas before becoming humanoidish..)
[23:28] <Pale_Wolf> "Understood... How did you know they were ghuls? I mean - Ahhhhh. That makes sense."
[23:28] <Jane> "One remains, We will attemp to follow it back to its current burrow pending a change in orders"
[23:28] <Jason_Naruhodo> "Err, that is to say SHE doesn't think they're related. It's still a possibility."
[23:28] <Pale_Wolf> "All right... Very good, guys. I'll call in and let Team Two know."
[23:29] <Jason_Naruhodo> "Roger."
[23:29] <Aika_Fawkes> "Have Team Two encountered anything?"
[23:29] <Pale_Wolf> "Well, even if they're not the culprits, they're still a threat to everyone if they'll even attack armed people."
[23:29] <Varuni> "And we get to investigate the burrow before we can call in airsupport." She mumbles.
[23:29] <Pale_Wolf> "Haven't heard anything."
[23:29] * Jane puts the c-8 away somehow and gathers her gear
[23:30] <Aika_Fawkes> "Roger. Any additional Orders?"
[23:30] <Pale_Wolf> "I'm calling in to the satellite observer too. Now that we know we're looking for hyenas, it should be easy to locate their den or whatever."
[23:30] <Pale_Wolf> "For now, continue your patrol. Or you can do that plan of following the ghul home."
[23:30] <Aika_Fawkes> "Roger."
[23:31] <Pale_Wolf> Murray snorts. "That thing ain't gonna get up again without a medic."
[23:31] <Jason_Naruhodo> "Hmm, what do yiou guys think?" he asks looking at his team.
[23:31] <Aika_Fawkes> "Thanks for Volunteering Murray!"
[23:31] <Pale_Wolf> "Anything else, guys?"
[23:31] <Aika_Fawkes> "Nothing currently. Over and Out."
[23:31] <Pale_Wolf> "Roger that, over and out."
[23:31] <Jason_Naruhodo> "Nope. Will report on further findings as we come across them."
[23:32] <Jason_Naruhodo> (...)
[23:32] <Aika_Fawkes> "Okay. Let's get out of detection range for the Ghul and Murray can fly above it and healit."
[23:32] <Jason_Naruhodo> (you know... I kinda wanna roll 4d8 damage on Akia now. There's taking charge, and there's over-zealousness... =_=;)
[23:33] <Pale_Wolf> Murray snarls slightly at Aika, but doesn't actually disobey.
[23:33] <Varuni> "I'd rather surgically put a bomb in it's chest first."
[23:33] <Pale_Wolf> (You do have plastic explosive you can strap to it.)
[23:33] <Pale_Wolf> (You'd need a triggered detonator and a demolitions roll though)
[23:33] <Jane> "It seems a soild plan, Mr.Murray can you follow the creature from the air?"
[23:33] <Aika_Fawkes> (We have any Detonators to go with that Plastique?)
[23:33] <Jason_Naruhodo> "I was thinking the same," he says taking out some C-4 and a detonator.
[23:33] <Jason_Naruhodo> (Umm... Why wouldn't we?)
[23:34] <Pale_Wolf> (Yep, assume these are satchel charges for now)
[23:34] <Aika_Fawkes> (OOh. That's aLot of Damage.)
[23:34] * Varuni just grins, then frowns. "Hopefully it doesn't blow itself up before hand, or harm innocents."
[23:35] <Pale_Wolf> (Well, that's why you hope you succeed at the demolitions roll, and have no shame in taking a 20 to get it right
)
[23:35] <Aika_Fawkes> (We have time. It's unconscious)
[23:35] <Jane> (no one saw my line)
[23:35] <Aika_Fawkes> (Anyone have Demolitions as Class skill?)
[23:35] <Jason_Naruhodo> "Hmm, that's a point... So, who's the best at this out of all of us?"
[23:35] <Pale_Wolf> (And make sure to tie it tight, or he can remove it
)
[23:35] <Jason_Naruhodo> (Jane: I did.)
[23:35] <Varuni> Same here))
[23:36] <Aika_Fawkes> (And I)
[23:36] <Pale_Wolf> Murray grins and nods to Jane. "Sure thing babe."
[23:36] <Pale_Wolf> (Sorry, had a bunch of other stuff to respond to
)
[23:36] <Jason_Naruhodo> "Actually, I have a suggestion, as gruesome as it seems..."
[23:36] * Aika_Fawkes mutters under her Breath "Lecherous Chicken"
[23:36] <Jason_Naruhodo> "How about we implant the explosive in it's wound, and then heal it over?"
[23:36] <Aika_Fawkes> "I can keep in contact with Murray Silently through Mindspeak."
[23:37] <Aika_Fawkes> "So we can maintain silence while stalking it."
[23:37] <Aika_Fawkes> *Radio Silence)
[23:37] <Jane> "I think it may notice something the size of a large pack having been shoved under its skin"
[23:37] <Pale_Wolf> (You're all about even at demolitions. +2 mod)
[23:37] <Aika_Fawkes> (What's teh Atribute?)
[23:37] <Jason_Naruhodo> "Well, you only need a small charge to destroy it's heart though."
[23:38] <Pale_Wolf> (Int, I believe)
[23:38] <Jason_Naruhodo> (Lemme do it, since I have a plan)
[23:38] <Aika_Fawkes> (My int is +2)
[23:38] <Jason_Naruhodo> (So is mine.)
[23:38] <Pale_Wolf> (Everyone's is, but nobody has Demolitions skill)
[23:38] <Varuni> "Well, whatever we do, let's get on with it." Curses her sportsbra and turns around to adjust the thing.
[23:38] <Aika_Fawkes> (Ah. Do it Jason)
[23:39] <Pale_Wolf> (Taking a 20, or rolling it?)
[23:39] <Aika_Fawkes> (We have time)
[23:39] * Jason_Naruhodo fashions a small charge that should be powerful enough to ruin the thing's insides nicely, and packs it in near the heart...
[23:39] <Jane> "的nteresting idea,But worry not. I do believe the base has people to help you over come this need to stick foren objects in hostel creatures. "
[23:39] <Jason_Naruhodo> roll 1d20+2 demolitions
[23:39] <Fate> 5,0Jason_Naruhodo rolled a :5,0 1d20+2 5,0demolitions --> 5,0[ 1d20=13 ]5,0{15}
[23:39] <Pale_Wolf> (Righto, then, unless it's _really_ insane, you succeed - though the others should hold it down for you so it doesn't thrash in its sleep)
[23:40] * Jane will not
[23:40] <Jason_Naruhodo> "Haha... funny," he mutters drily, as he goes about his work.
[23:40] <Pale_Wolf> (I'd advise you to take a 20, no roll, just succeed
)
[23:40] <Pale_Wolf> (Best to take your time when you aren't in a rush)
[23:40] * Jason_Naruhodo will ask Murray to heal the thing's wound closed once he's done.
[23:41] * Jason_Naruhodo takes 20...
[23:41] <Pale_Wolf> Murray raises a wing in a salute, and a grey ball of light crosses the distance to the ghul.
[23:41] * Jane wasn't joking and will be fileing a report question the sainty of some party members.
[23:41] <Pale_Wolf> roll 3d8
[23:41] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 3d8 --> 5,0[ 3d8=14 ]5,0{14}
[23:41] * Aika_Fawkes leaves to get out of range before the Ghul waes up)
[23:42] * Jason_Naruhodo does so too...
[23:42] <Pale_Wolf> It doesn't quite seal over the bomb, so Murray sends another ball.
[23:42] <Varuni> And Saber blows himself up)
[23:42] <Pale_Wolf> roll 3d8
[23:42] <Fate> 5,0Pale_Wolf rolled a :5,0 3d8 --> 5,0[ 3d8=19 ]5,0{19}
[23:42] * Jane has regeared and put on her traveling cloak.
[23:42] <Jason_Naruhodo> (What's the effective range of the detonator?)
[23:43] <Pale_Wolf> (I'll say about long range. And you guys should probably be watching it yourself - you _do_ have binoculars)
[23:43] <Aika_Fawkes> (Can Murray Detonate it?)
[23:43] <Pale_Wolf> (He lacks hands)
[23:43] <Pale_Wolf> Murray takes to the air as the ghul stirs slightly.
[23:43] * Jason_Naruhodo will be...
[23:43] <Aika_Fawkes> (oh yea...)
[23:44] * Aika_Fawkes takes out a C-8 with a Scope and Grenade launcher and watches the Ghul)
[23:44] <Pale_Wolf> (Okay, everyone is off in the distance now?)
[23:44] <Aika_Fawkes> (I am)
[23:44] <Varuni> Indeed)
[23:44] <Pale_Wolf> (Don't bother with the C-8, you're not in range for it. Don't you have an AWS?)
[23:44] <Aika_Fawkes> I have everything)
[23:45] * Jason_Naruhodo will be sure to not be out of the detonator's range...
[23:45] * Varuni performers spotter dity
[23:45] <Varuni> *duty too
[23:45] * Aika_Fawkes uses the AWS instead
[23:46] <Pale_Wolf> It takes a while, but _eventually_ the ghul - totally healed up from the fight - stirs and rises.
[23:46] <Pale_Wolf> Its head whips around, looking for the people who hurt it.
[23:46] <Pale_Wolf> When it doesn't see anything, it yips in confusion.
[23:47] <Pale_Wolf> It moans slightly, bringing its right hand up to its heart - about where the bomb is.
[23:47] <Pale_Wolf> It can feel it.
[23:47] <Aika_Fawkes> Mindspeak "Murray, you ready to follow it?"
[23:47] <Pale_Wolf> "Was ready before you were."
[23:47] <Aika_Fawkes> "asshole"
[23:47] <Pale_Wolf> However, the ghul just scratches at the strange sensation.
[23:48] <Pale_Wolf> It doesn't seem desperate enough to plunge its claws into its chest, probably because it doesn't know about the human habit of sticking stuff into people.
[23:48] <Aika_Fawkes> (you make it sound so dirty)
[23:48] <Varuni> It should come to our next party; ball bearings and marbles))
[23:49] <Pale_Wolf> It yelps slightly, and looks around again.
[23:50] * Jane watchs the thing off in the distance and makes a mental note to question her teammates sanity in hre report.
[23:50] <Pale_Wolf> Once it's assured that it really IS safe, it sets off northward, loping along fast. Very, very, very frigging fast. Varuni can keep up, but everyone else will lose ground.
[23:50] <Aika_Fawkes> Whisper "Come on. Move you damn bastard."
[23:51] <Varuni> "Damn..." She mutters.
[23:51] * Aika_Fawkes follows keeping contact with Murray
[23:51] <Pale_Wolf> (Varuni? Split up from the group?)
[23:51] <Aika_Fawkes> "Should have put a tracker on it."
[23:51] * Jane starts off after it in a run
[23:51] <Pale_Wolf> (Not actually a problem, there _are_ satellites around
)
[23:52] <Varuni> "I can go ahead, it can't outrun me."
[23:52] <Aika_Fawkes> "Someone contact HQ and tell them to follow it Via Sat."
[23:52] <Jane> (i would ausme tracks are easy to spot as it just left)
[23:52] <Pale_Wolf> (Indeed)
[23:52] * Jason_Naruhodo will...
[23:52] <Pale_Wolf> The lady takes your message and passes it on to the satellite peeps.
[23:53] <Pale_Wolf> The ghul keeps running, Varuni pacing after it.
[23:53] <Pale_Wolf> Time passes.
[23:53] <Pale_Wolf> Murray: "Shit! It's stopped, bitch!"
[23:53] <Aika_Fawkes> "The Ghulhas Stopped!"
[23:54] <Aika_Fawkes> Mindspeak "And Varuni? What's her position?"
[23:54] <Jason_Naruhodo> (What does the GPS say, assuming I have one, and that's where the satelite is sending coords to?)
[23:54] <Aika_Fawkes> (The Ghul stopping announcement was to the party at large)
[23:55] * Jane has been running after the tracks as well
[23:55] <Pale_Wolf> (The GPS says it's stopped somewhere in the middle of the Syrian desert.)
[23:55] <Jane> (tho not as fast as varuni)
[23:55] <Pale_Wolf> (No apparent importance to it)
[23:55] * Aika_Fawkes keeps following towards Murray's location
[23:56] <Jason_Naruhodo> "Last time I listen to Akia," he mutters with a sigh, and puts the GPS away...
[23:56] <Aika_Fawkes> (What did I say this time?)
[23:57] * Jason_Naruhodo catches up to jane and the rest in that case
[23:57] <Aika_Fawkes> To Murray "Anything else? Can you see Varuni?"
[23:58] <Aika_Fawkes> (Pale? Murray?)
[23:58] <Pale_Wolf> (I'm talking privately with Varu, sorry)
[23:58] <Pale_Wolf> "Yeah, I see her. There's something the dumb grunt's sniffing at."
[23:59] * Aika_Fawkes relays this info to the others
Session Close: Sat Jun 02 00:00:00 2007
Session Close: Sat Jun 02 00:00:00 2007
[23:54] <Pale_Wolf> The ghul stopped when it saw something lying in the middle of the desert.
[23:54] <Pale_Wolf> Zoom in on 'something'?
[23:55] <Pale_Wolf> Yo?
[23:55] <Varuni> Indeed, biconiculars able to pick it up?
[23:55] <Pale_Wolf> Yep. It's a humanoid form lying in the road.
[23:56] <Varuni> Oh joy, any specifics?
[23:57] <Pale_Wolf> Looks like a female, you can't tell much more at this range. Other than that she's paler than normal for the region, wearing long brilliantly-dyed blue robes, and is exhibiting the classic signs of dehydration in her face.
[23:57] <Varuni> The ghul leaving her alone, or getting curious?
[23:58] <Pale_Wolf> The ghul is _looking_ at her.
[23:58] <Pale_Wolf> It's a little wary, skittering around.
[23:58] <Pale_Wolf> But, it's getting closer.
[23:58] <Varuni> Will observe.
