THE PACK Message Boards

Every once in awhile, the lurkers of chat.psionics.net:6667 #paradice will game live. The transcripts of the games that I run will go here, so that I have a place to refer to for older information (I'll also stick them on my old forum too).

I say the lurkers, because we're the ones who see each other the most in the channel to game together. If there's not a game in progress, then it serves as a great place to chat.

[19:18] <@Baphnedia> whoops
[19:18] <Ralith> and we might get more idlers!
[19:18] <@Baphnedia> that wasn't what I needed.
[19:18] <@Baphnedia> aye
[19:18] <@Baphnedia> Arr!
[19:18] <Ralith> good idea
[19:18] * Ralith enables logging
[19:18] <@Baphnedia> I just cleared the buffer
[19:18] <@Baphnedia> on accident
[19:19] <Ralith> sorry, say that again?
[19:19] <Ralith> did the same
[19:19] <@Baphnedia> so I'm going to post the last few lines, beginning with Whoops
[19:19] <Ralith> o.O
[19:20] <Aki> buffer?
[19:20] <Ralith> Aki: chat text display, sort of
[19:21] <Lupin> Scrollback buffer. The onscreen history of the chat.
[19:21] <@Baphnedia> yep
[19:21] <Ralith> Baphnedia: so when do we begin?
[19:21] <@Baphnedia> sry for the grammar
[19:21] <Ralith> augh, brb
[19:21] <Ralith> give me a minute or two
[19:21] <Aki> ah, thought it might be that
[19:21] <@Baphnedia> I posted an example in the RP section of the PACK
[19:21] <@Baphnedia> I'm catching up on the boards now...
[19:22] <Ralith> back
[19:23] <Ralith> er.. explain again what the purpose of that paste is?
[19:23] <Ralith> posting those lines?
[19:26] <@Baphnedia> oh - just making sure that it'll work
[19:26] <Ralith> what, pasting?
[19:26] <@Baphnedia> say for instance, someone clears the chat room text right before a game starts
[19:26] * Ralith is lost
[19:26] <@Baphnedia> then the game takes place, then it concludes. We copy and paste the lines (instead of doing hundreds of posts)
[19:27] <Ralith> ah, yeah
[19:27] <Ralith> and let me get this clear
[19:27] <@Baphnedia> as one post in a thread. That way, gamers who weren't here can add their message input and progress the game, in between sessions
[19:27] <Ralith> seems like that might be hard to coordinate
[19:27] <Ralith> as we can really get far in a realtime cha tlike this
[19:28] <@Baphnedia> It shouldn't be too hard... except that if a game is going on while they post - there's gonna be a conflict.
[19:28] <Ralith> well, we'll see.
[19:28] <Ralith> so
[19:28] <@Baphnedia> Or, it might be better if we post the chat logs of the game
[19:28] <Ralith> shall we begin from scratch?
[19:28] <@Baphnedia> so that we remember where we were
[19:28] <Ralith> that too
[19:28] <@Baphnedia> and everyone can read our tipos
[19:29] <Ralith> hehe
[19:29] <Ralith> right then
[19:29] <Ralith> I think it might be best if we start over, for the sake of the log posting
[19:29] <@Baphnedia> Aye... I don't think I'll use much of a system to it yet
[19:30] <@Baphnedia> though here we can if we want
[19:30] <Ralith> just freeform with the added randomness of the occasional d20 is fine with me
[19:30] <Ralith> but if you want to do something else I'll go along happily
[19:30] <@Baphnedia> Lupin? Aki?
[19:31] <Aki> Either way is find with me.
[19:31] * Ralith looks expectant
[19:32] <@Baphnedia> hehe... someone's eager to game
[19:32] <Lupin> I hadn't entered the first one.
[19:32] <@Baphnedia> no problemo
[19:32] <Ralith> I'm here, and have arranged things so I"m not expected elsewhere
[19:32] <Ralith> just idling would be annoying
[19:32] <@Baphnedia> too true
[19:32] <Ralith> Lupin: we're starting over, I think
[19:32] <@Baphnedia> yep.
[19:32] <Lupin> Okay
[19:33] <@Baphnedia> Instead of me just running off the cuff completely, I need to know just a couple things
[19:33] <@Baphnedia> Wolf, werewolf, or human?
[19:34] <Ralith> the second
[19:34] <Lupin> Werewolf I suppose.
[19:34] <@Baphnedia> Aki?
[19:34] <Aki> Werewolf
[19:34] <Ralith> that was easy
[19:34] <@Baphnedia> I suppose that didn't require much. Hehe. I hope you three studied for this test. :{
[19:34] <@Baphnedia>
[19:35] <@Baphnedia> Next question: Magic or technology, or modern?
[19:35] <Ralith> modern as in present day, normal?
[19:35] <@Baphnedia> modern is present day
[19:35] <Ralith> I'm all for modern, with a physical setting of somewhere remote
[19:36] <Lupin> I have no prefrence.
[19:36] <Aki> Me either, so I guess that lands modern by default.
[19:36] <Ralith>
[19:37] <@Baphnedia> Modern... wilderness
[19:37] <@Baphnedia> hmm
[19:37] <@Baphnedia> this could be fun
[19:38] <@Baphnedia> jesus I have a lot of PMs
[19:38] <@Baphnedia> Oh, everyone is familiar with GodNotes (tm)
[19:38] <Ralith> o.O
[19:38] <Ralith> what?
[19:39] <Ralith> you can interperete that as a "no, I'm not familliar with them"
[19:39] <@Baphnedia> historically, the practice of writing on a small scrip of paper and handing it to the DM without anyone else seeing it. In the forums we used PMs for such
[19:39] <Ralith> ah
[19:39] <Ralith> might I suggest /notice in this case?
[19:39] <Ralith> doesn't open a seperate window
[19:39] -Ralith- yup
[19:39] <@Baphnedia> so /notice <username> message
[19:40] <Lupin> Yes.
[19:40] <Ralith> exactly
[19:40] <@Baphnedia> way cool
[19:40] * Baphnedia rolls dice behind his DM board
[19:40] * Ralith wanders in from the kitchen and hands out soda
[19:41] <@Baphnedia> Or not.
[19:41] <Ralith> dicebots not responding to PM?
[19:41] <@Baphnedia> Snakeeyes will not interperet /notice so it seems
[19:41] <@Baphnedia> nope
[19:41] <@Baphnedia> which is fine
[19:41] <Aki> hehe. /notice yourself, its fun.
[19:41] <Ralith> hehe
[19:41] <Lupin> Then try /msg
[19:41] <@Baphnedia> I get to freak everyone out by rolling them
[19:41] <Ralith> :\
[19:41] <@Baphnedia> @d20
[19:41] <SnakeEyes> Baphnedia Rolled d20 for a Total of 11
[19:42] <@Baphnedia> Ralith: "What's Baph rolling for?"
[19:42] -Lupin- and if you really want to annoy people in mIRC, you can do this.
[19:42] <Ralith> hehe
[19:42] <Ralith> what's mirc do?
[19:42] <Aki> Woah. What the..?
[19:42] <Lupin> Ralith: Beeps.
[19:42] <Aki> Yeah
[19:42] <Ralith> ah
[19:43] <@Baphnedia> whoops
[19:43] <@Baphnedia> using /msg on yourself is funny. I just finished a full-blown conversation with myselves
[19:43] <Ralith> hehe
[19:43] <Aki> haha
[19:43] <@Baphnedia> I wonder if I should call back AB in a few minutes...
[19:44] <Ralith> are we ever gonna start?
[19:44] <@Baphnedia> Aye. I'm going to start everyone out in a fun little locale.
[19:44] * Ralith is suddenly nervous
[19:44] <Aki> hehe
[19:45] <Lupin> Hmm...
[19:45] <@Baphnedia> I'm still answering PMs (dear god!)
[19:45] <Ralith> o.O
[19:46] <@Baphnedia> yay! My forum isn't dead! Someone other than me posted! :)_
[19:47] <Ralith> heh
[19:47] <@Baphnedia> Ok...
[19:47] <@Baphnedia> Modern times... werewolves,
[19:47] <Ralith> remote locale
[19:48] <@Baphnedia> remote locale... hehe... now I just need to pull out my name generator.
[19:48] * Ralith should stop telling the DM what to do
[19:48] <@Baphnedia> lol
[19:48] * Ralith dodges a lightning bolt
[19:48] * Baphnedia snorts
[19:49] * Ralith hides in a cave
[19:49] <@Baphnedia> I'll check with one other room, see if I can't get a few more players...
[19:49] <Ralith> nothing wrong with 3 players :/
[19:49] <@Baphnedia> not at all... they have two minutes to get here.
[19:49] <@Baphnedia> I'm brainstorming at the moment
[19:51] <@Baphnedia> Ooooh... here we go...
[19:51] * Ralith is worried
[19:51] <@Baphnedia> Now I'm just finishing up a post (on my forum) in response to funerals vs barbeques.
[19:51] <Ralith> O.o
[19:52] <Lupin> Okay, those aren't things that normally go together.
[19:53] <Aki> O_O
[19:53] <Ralith> cremation? ^_^
[19:54] <@Baphnedia> lol
[19:54] <@Baphnedia> I'll send two links as soon as I have the post written
[19:55] <Lupin> 26 minutes until this torrent finishes
[19:55] <Ralith> of what?
[19:55] <Lupin> Ralith: The Billy West interview.
[19:55] <Ralith> ah "{
[19:55] <Ralith> *
[19:56] <@Baphnedia> http://www.paradice.net/index.php?name= ... opic&t=211 (the first post(s)
[19:56] <Lupin> I'm downloading it to my server, then I'll grab it from there.
[19:57] <@Baphnedia> http://www.paradice.net/index.php?name= ... opic&t=255 (and my retort)
[20:00] * Baphnedia is on phone
[20:00] * Ralith will brb
[20:04] <Ralith> back
[20:05] * Ralith gives Baphnedia another expectant look
[20:11] <Ralith> at this rate we'll all be asleep before we begin
[20:12] <Aki> hehe
[20:21] * Ralith pokes Baphnedia
[20:21] <Ralith> how long can a phonecall take?
[20:24] <Aki> 692344 years.
[20:24] <Aki> give or take a few..
[20:26] <Lupin> If it's anything like phonecalsl I've been on, several hours.
[20:28] <Ralith> mrh
[20:28] <@Baphnedia> w00t!
[20:28] <Ralith>
[20:28] <@Baphnedia> Done with phone call!
[20:28] <@Baphnedia>
[20:28] <Ralith>
[20:28] <Lupin> yay
[20:28] * Ralith runs circles around Baphnedia
[20:29] * Baphnedia looks at Ralith, interpereting the expression on his face
[20:29] * Ralith looks expectant
[20:29] * Lupin trips Ralith
[20:29] * Ralith picks him self up and turns to Lupin, growling
[20:30] <@Baphnedia> Phonecall has turned into an email (geez, I seem to always be working)
[20:30] <Ralith> grah!
[20:30] <Ralith> can we get started any time soon?
[20:30] <@Baphnedia> Yeah
[20:30] <@Baphnedia> Another one of those 'wake up' secens....
[20:30] <@Baphnedia> *scenes
[20:31] <@Baphnedia> A crsip breeze cuts through your fur, heralding the arrival of morning.
[20:32] <@Baphnedia> The ruins of Sundown Lutheran Church surround you and gave plenty of protection from the wind last night when you laid down to sleep...
[20:32] <@Baphnedia> but now, the wind is slicing through the gaps on the other end of the building, the rainbow colors of the twilight zone giving way to sunrise
[20:33] <@Baphnedia> You smell three distinct scents. Cow pie on the wind, and the scents of two others in the ruined church with you
[20:34] <@Baphnedia> (done)
[20:35] <Ralith> (ooc: which form am I/are we in?)
[20:35] <Aki> (OOc: One of the ones with fur, obviously. )
[20:36] <Ralith> (ooc: that leaves two possibilities...)
[20:36] <Ralith> (ooc: for lower surface area and therefore better heat retention I'd pick wolf; anything to say, baph?)
[20:37] <Ralith> (ooc: whatever. Let's just get on with this.)
[20:37] <@Baphnedia> (you're you - whether wolf or werewolf, I'm fine either way)
[20:38] * Ralith rises, stretching breifly before standing and surveying his surroundings
[20:39] <@Baphnedia> The floor of the church has grass growing in the cracks between what used to be a polished wooden floor. The pews that gave so much shelter now seem to only protect you up to perhaps your waist
[20:39] <@Baphnedia> as you look out upon the farm fields. You can hear a tractor out in the distance.
[20:40] * Ralith sniffs the air breifly, following the stronger of the two other scents
[20:40] * Aki yawns and gets up slowly and lazily, rubbing his eyes, and muttering curses at the wind.
[20:41] <@Baphnedia> In a corner, against a ruined wall lies another were...
[20:42] * Lupin sits up, yawns and tries to get over the usual morning amneisia.
[20:42] <Ralith> (ooc: did we know eachother were here when we arrived last night?)
[20:43] <@Baphnedia> (yes)
[20:44] <@Baphnedia> (but feel free to describe each other a bit, or seomthing)
[20:45] <@Baphnedia> Your stomach growls as the realization that dinner didn't happen yesterday sets in.
[20:45] * Ralith sits upon a decrepet pew, and breaks the silence. "So, Lupin, why exactly are we out here?"
[20:47] * Lupin looks at Ralith, "Well, it's not like there are that many places that are empty and provide cover from the wind."
[20:48] <@Baphnedia> The farmer driving his tractor makes another turn in his field, far away from the church.
[20:48] * Ralith sighs. "You know perfectly well what I meant."
[20:49] *** Darkmoon (~chatzilla@*.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net) joined
[20:49] <Ralith> (a bit late :/)
[20:50] * Lupin smirks, "Oh, so you wanted an existential discussion?"
[20:51] * Aki laughs.
[20:51] * Ralith rolls his eyes, "Fine, be that way."
[20:52] * Ralith breifly glances at the distant tractor, then returns his gaze to Lupin. "So what now? I'd be partial to a little breakfast, myself, but you seem to have other plans..."
[20:53] <@Baphnedia> Birds twitter in the morning light. It seems that there is a fourth scent now... but the location is indeterminate.
[20:54] * Lupin yawns again and gets up to stretch "Eh, they can wait. I'm hungry too."
[20:54] * Ralith gives Lupin a final questioning glance, then raises his nose to the wind, ears perked.
[20:55] * Aki nods. "Some breakfast would be great."
[20:57] <Ralith> (*pokes Baphnedia* waiting for some sensory input here)
[20:57] <Lupin> (Poke Darkmoon while you're at it.)
[20:58] <Ralith> (*pokes Darkmoon* and who are you/where are you from?)
[20:58] <Darkmoon> (considers herself poked)
[20:58] <@Baphnedia> (gah phone)_
[20:58] <Ralith> (again? dangit!)
[20:58] <Ralith> (Darkmoon: so what brings you to #paradice?)
[20:58] <@Baphnedia> The wind shifts direction and the fourth scent is recognizable
[20:58] <Darkmoon> I'm Darkmoon...from the Pack...
[20:59] <Ralith> (oh, didn't recognize you )
[20:59] <@Baphnedia> It happens to be Darkmoon.
[20:59] * Lupin walks over to Ralith "Well it's easier to think on a full stomach. Plus I didn't get anthing to eat last night."
[20:59] * Ralith glares slightly. "And we did? You didn't leave time for that."
[21:00] <@Baphnedia> There are a number of inviting barns that you can see from the church. One of them is a dairy.
[21:00] <Ralith> "Can you see anyone around that dairy?"
[21:00] <Lupin> "Nope. Aki?"
[21:01] <Darkmoon> (heheh..i'm too afraid I'll mess this up..I have no skill with computers..*lurks* sorry to interrupt)
[21:01] <Aki> "Not really.."
[21:02] <@Baphnedia> (feel free to watch and read Darkmoon )
[21:02] * Ralith gives the tractor another look. "Looks like that guy won't be back for another few hours yet; let's check for anyone inside."
[21:02] <@Baphnedia> The tractor turns again, the lights facing the church. It's more than a football field away.
[21:02] <Aki> "Spoke too soon..."
[21:02] <Ralith> "Huh?"
[21:02] <@Baphnedia> The wolves move in the direction of the dairy (away from the tractor). Roll a d20 (dex/awareness)
[21:03] <Ralith> (each of us?)
[21:03] <@Baphnedia> (yes)
[21:03] <Ralith> @d20
[21:03] <SnakeEyes> Ralith Rolled d20 for a Total of 2
[21:03] <Aki> @d20
[21:03] <SnakeEyes> Aki Rolled d20 for a Total of 18
[21:03] <Lupin> @d20
[21:03] <SnakeEyes> Lupin Rolled d20 for a Total of 13
[21:03] * Ralith shrugs and jumps out of cover, moving in a light jog towards the dairy
[21:03] <@Baphnedia> After crossing the decrept unkempt mud road infront of the church
[21:04] <@Baphnedia> As Ralith is moving towards the dairy, a splut is heard. Ralith is still standing (wait for msg).
[21:05] <@Baphnedia> (done)
[21:06] * Lupin looks bak at Ralith. "What was that?"
[21:06] <Lupin> (Aargh, laptop keyboard.)
[21:06] * Ralith snarls lightly, slowly raising his foot from the brown goo.
[21:06] <@Baphnedia> (hehe, we know what you meant)
[21:06] <Ralith> "Euch."
[21:07] * Ralith attempts to wipe it off on some nearby grass, but the scent clings to his fur
[21:07] <@Baphnedia> The smell permeates everyone's nostrils. A freshly opened cold Cow Pie. Hopefully a cow will taste better.
[21:08] <Lupin> "You can scent roll later. Come on."
[21:08] <@Baphnedia> (scent roll?)
[21:08] <Ralith> (roll in a scent)
[21:08] <@Baphnedia> (ah)
[21:08] <Lupin> (It's when wolves roll in something stinky to show it to the rest of the pack.)
[21:08] <Aki> (haha)
[21:09] <@Baphnedia> The group begins to make it's way towards the dairy, being mindful of the additional mines in the field.
[21:09] * Ralith resumes movement after Lupin, growling quietly to himself
[21:10] <@Baphnedia> The dairy looms closer, the occasional noise from the cows (and the pervasive smell) are percieved.
[21:10] <@Baphnedia> The stench of humans is also present. It's before dawn, but someone's up.
[21:11] * Ralith slows down to a quiet walk, alert for sound or sight (not to mention keeping an eye out for some water to rinse his foot off with)
[21:11] * Lupin mutters to himself "Hmm, the farmer is up. But hopefully he is being up somewhere else."
[21:12] * Ralith speaks quietly, "You're being awfully incautious."
[21:12] <@Baphnedia> You are all approaching the side of the barn. From here it's hard to tell which end has the main doors. How will you enter (if that's what you plan?)
[21:13] * Aki whispers, "So, what do we do if'n he's in there?"
[21:13] * Ralith whsipers, "I say we try to get a look without drawing attention to ourselves"
[21:14] <Ralith> "The question being, how to do so?"
[21:14] * Ralith glances up, checking for windows
[21:15] <@Baphnedia> There are indeed a few windows on this side of the barn, shuttered, but there are windows
[21:16] <Lupin> (Shutters on the outside?)
[21:16] <Ralith> (how high are they?)
[21:16] <@Baphnedia> (5 feet off the ground)
[21:17] * Ralith attempts to quietly draw open one shutter
[21:17] *** Baphnedia changed topic to Game In Progress. You're welcome to watch, or join in. If you just want to chat, go to #dnd3e to do so. www.paradice.net
[21:18] <Ralith> (good idea)
[21:18] <@Baphnedia> the shutter opens, and creaks a little bit. The cows don't seem to care. The lights are off.
[21:18] * Lupin whispers to Ralith, "See anything?"
[21:18] * Ralith is visibly relieved. "Nope; looks empty. The doors are to the left. Shall we head in?"
[21:20] * Aki nods, "Lead the way."
[21:20] * Ralith looks to Lupin
[21:20] * Lupin whispers "Yeah, let's go"
[21:21] <Lupin> (Sorry, was checking something in another window)
[21:21] <@Baphnedia> The main door to the barn looks to be a big sliding door, and there is a more normal door beside it. Both are closed.
[21:22] * Ralith walks up the the smaller door and tries the handle
[21:23] <@Baphnedia> The handle is locked. The noise of the small padlock rattling when you pull on the the handle thunders in your ears.
[21:23] * Ralith sighs, and looks around again, checking for anyone nearby
[21:24] <@Baphnedia> You can see the house from here, almost 50 yards away. The downstairs lights are on.
[21:25] * Lupin keeps an eye on the house, and procededs to gently try the larger door.
[21:26] <@Baphnedia> The larger door dosen't budge. It's not stuck, but it might be barred somehow. It seems that it will unlock from the inside.
[21:26] * Ralith pauses a moment in thought, then shrugs. He takes ahold of the smaller door's handle again, turning it until it reaches the edge of its free rotation, at which point he slowly forces it onward
[21:28] <@Baphnedia> (in explanation: The handle of the other door is non-mechanical - as stated before there is a padlock, securing two peices of metal. One peice of metal is a backplate on the wall (not large) and the other is a hinged peice of metal that fits over a ring on the wall.)
[21:29] <Ralith> (the idea is to rip one of the bits from the wood, which you earlier mentioned wasn't in best condition)
[21:29] <Lupin> (Sounds like it.)
[21:30] <@Baphnedia> (thanks for telling everyone )
[21:30] <Ralith> (I thought it was obvious )
[21:30] <@Baphnedia> (I rather hoped it was...)
[21:30] <Ralith> (oh, that wasn't sarcastic )
[21:31] <Ralith> (anyway, should I roll for noise and/or success?)
[21:32] <@Baphnedia> (if you're the one yanking off the metal... roll a d20)
[21:32] <Ralith> @d20
[21:32] <SnakeEyes> Ralith Rolled d20 for a Total of 19
[21:33] <Ralith> (*whew* a 2 there could have been catastrophic)
[21:33] <@Baphnedia> The metal itself was easy to rip off of the wall.
[21:34] <@Baphnedia> It came off almost silently, and the cows still don't seem to care. Maybe they're still asleep.
[21:34] <@Baphnedia> The scent of breakfast is heavy in the air.
[21:35] * Ralith pushes the door inwards and slips in, surveying the interior (and again looking for any convenient water to rinse off his foot with)
[21:36] <Ralith> (*pokes Aki and Lupin * why do I feel like I'm doing a 1:1 RP?)
[21:36] <@Baphnedia> A coiled hose and a bucket are sitting in the far left corner. The cows are in a large pen on the right side
[21:36] * Lupin gives one last glance at the house and goes in after Ralith
[21:37] * Ralith makes a beeline for the hose, turning on the water and playing the stream over his befouled limb, removing the remenants of the hideous smell
[21:37] * Aki heads in after Lupin, quietly closing the door behind him.
[21:37] <@Baphnedia> It's warmer inside. The cows and a couple of heaters mounted in the ceiling seem to keep the place nice and toasty.
[21:37] <@Baphnedia> "moo?"
[21:38] *** Darkmoon quit (Connection reset by peer)
[21:38] <@Baphnedia> *snort* A cow seems to have woken up... and is sniffing the air.
[21:38] * Ralith turns the water off again, and shakes his leg free of the majority of the water. He turns towards the sound, ears perked
[21:38] <Ralith> "We may have a problem, you two..."
[21:39] * Lupin also turns to look at the cow "Yep."
[21:39] *** Darkmoon (~chatzilla@*.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net) joined
[21:39] * Ralith grins. "Well, we're going to have to do something about that, aren't we?"
[21:39] <@Baphnedia> (wb Darkmoon)
[21:39] <@Baphnedia> *snort* "MoooOOo."
[21:39] <Darkmoon> hehe...my internet hates me
[21:40] <Darkmoon> (darkmoon wonders how one joins the game...aka...how does one make the italic things?)
[21:40] * Aki grins, "Breakfast time."
[21:40] <Aki> (ITalic things?)
[21:40] <@Baphnedia> It's obvious which cow it is, one of the ones near the door).
[21:40] <Lupin> (/me <stuff>)
[21:40] <Ralith> (Darkmoon: see my IRC tutorial)
[21:40] <Darkmoon> where! *gets excited*
[21:41] <@Baphnedia> (hrm my client doesn't do italics, alternate font colors instead)
[21:41] <Lupin> (Are we in front or behind the cow?)
[21:41] * Baphnedia looks on the Pack forum for the tutorial
[21:41] <Ralith> ( http://calypso-blue.com/werewolf/viewtopic.php?t=1695 )
[21:41] <@Baphnedia> (in front)
[21:41] <Darkmoon> ooo..coool I'll go do that and stop bugging ya'll
[21:42] <@Baphnedia> (if you want to join in, please let me know)
[21:42] * Ralith nods to Lupin
[21:42] <@Baphnedia> "Mooo!"
[21:42] * Lupin slowly starts to advance on the cow, trying to circle around behind it.
[21:42] <Ralith> "Just get it over with before the damn thing starts making too much noise."
[21:43] <@Baphnedia> By going over the fence into the cow enclosure, there is only a little bit of room to manuever. You do manage to get around behind it, as it isn't going anywhere. It's spooked, but it can't see.
[21:43] *** Darkmoon quit (Connection reset by peer)
[21:43] <Lupin> "Fine"
[21:44] <@Baphnedia> (roll an attack... d20 please)
[21:44] <Lupin> @d20
[21:44] <SnakeEyes> Lupin Rolled d20 for a Total of 18
[21:44] <@Baphnedia> (and how is it that you're attacking? Keep the roll, future ref: @d20 <stuff>)
[21:45] * Lupin rushes at the cow's neck fangs bared.
[21:45] <@Baphnedia> @d20 (misc check)
[21:45] <SnakeEyes> Baphnedia Rolled d20 for a Total of 5 (misc check)
[21:46] <Ralith> (so how'd his attack go?)
[21:46] <@Baphnedia> "M!" The cow was just about to raise an alarm, but you crushed the voicebox and caused the cow to start chocking. The cow begins to back up, bumping into two other cows that start to shift their feet.
[21:47] <@Baphnedia> (lotsa typing)
[21:47] <@Baphnedia> The cow is gurgling, and kneels to the ground, unable to stand.[
[21:48] * Ralith sighs, walking into the enclosure and slamming a closed fist down onto its head
[21:48] <@Baphnedia> @20 cow's head
[21:49] <@Baphnedia> @d20 cow's head
[21:49] <SnakeEyes> Baphnedia Rolled d20 for a Total of 7 cow's head
[21:49] * Ralith looks embarassed
[21:49] <@Baphnedia> The thump is heard, the cow is definitely not concious anymore.
[21:49] <Ralith> (err... maybe I don't look embarassed afte rall.)
[21:50] <@Baphnedia> (I was rolling to see how good the cow was able to withstand the thump)
[21:50] <Ralith> (aaahhhh)
[21:50] <@Baphnedia> Blood is still oozing out from where Lupin hit it in the neck.
[21:50] * Ralith gives the remandier of the herd one last look before digging in voraciously
[21:50] <@Baphnedia> The cows behind it start shifting their feet, and reply, "Moo?"
[21:51] <@Baphnedia> "Mo moo."
[21:51] * Ralith motions Lupin and Aki to hurry up
[21:51] * Lupin licks the blood off his lips, and digs in as well.
[21:52] * Aki looks anxiously back at the door, then digs into the cow
[21:52] <@Baphnedia> There is a bit of noise as this is happening. The smells of blood and wolf are becoming more prevalent.
[21:53] <@Baphnedia> "MoooOO."
[21:53] <@Baphnedia> Several other cows begin shifting their feet and anxiously moving about the pen.
[21:53] * Ralith looks up
[21:53] * Lupin becomes increasingly aware of the agitated cows. He continues eating, however.
[21:54] <Ralith> "Get your fill, you two. We'd better be off before someone notices this..."
[21:54] <@Baphnedia> "Moo."
[21:54] <@Baphnedia> A cow nervously farts. Not that the cow cares.
[21:55] * Ralith glances around one last time. "Let's go; we're pressing our luck."
[21:55] <@Baphnedia> The cows begin to congregate at the far end of the pen, one of them starts pushing against the pen.
[21:55] <Lupin> "Well after that little present from the cow, I'm done."
[21:55] * Lupin gets up.
[21:55] <@Baphnedia> The pen's wall begins to rattle. "Moo!"
[21:55] <Lupin> "Aki, come on."
[21:56] * Ralith starts jogging towards the smaller door
[21:56] <@Baphnedia> You're not sure if the rattling, or your odors are what's spooking the cows at this point. It's apparent that some of the cows are pushing against the walls of the barn too.
[21:56] <@Baphnedia> @d20
[21:56] <SnakeEyes> Baphnedia Rolled d20 for a Total of 7
[21:56] <@Baphnedia> @d20

[21:56] <@Baphnedia> @d20
[21:56] <SnakeEyes> Baphnedia Rolled d20 for a Total of 2
[21:56] <Ralith> (:|)
[21:56] * Aki growls and gets up, ripping off one last chunk of flesh in his teeth.
[21:56] <@Baphnedia> The pen rattles loudly
[21:56] <@Baphnedia> The small door remains closed
[21:56] <@Baphnedia> more cows are making a ruckus, a door slams in the distance
[21:57] <Ralith> "s***!"
[21:57] <Ralith> (the exit faces the house, right?)
[21:57] <Lupin> (Yes)
[21:57] <@Baphnedia> (yep)
[21:57] * Ralith looks around frantically for another way out
[21:57] <Lupin> (Where was that window in relation to the house?)
[21:57] <@Baphnedia> There are four windows beside the pen.
[21:58] <Ralith> (should be about 90 degrees seperated)
[21:58] <@Baphnedia> Facing away from the house, towards the Church
[21:58] <Ralith> (any glass in them?)
[21:58] * Lupin points to the window "Better use one of those, quick."
[21:58] <Ralith> (or just shuttered?)
[21:58] <@Baphnedia> there is glass
[21:58] * Ralith swears under his breath, and rams his shoulder into the window
[21:58] <@Baphnedia> At this point, any additional noise might not matter too much. The cows are making a caucophony
[21:59] <Ralith> @d20 window shatter
[21:59] <SnakeEyes> Ralith Rolled d20 for a Total of 13 window shatter
[21:59] <@Baphnedia> The glass gives easily. The glass shatters along with the pane frame, the shutter opens up to the outside, giving a view of the church in the dawn light.
[22:00] * Ralith half climbs, half jumps through the window, looking back inside breifly before turning and running towards the church
[22:00] * Aki hurries through the window after Ralith and takes off running after him.
[22:00] * Lupin jumps though the window as well, and heads off
[22:01] <@Baphnedia> Footsteps can be heard running to the door. If you're outside the barn...
[22:01] <@Baphnedia> ...the door swings wide open, the lights come on.
[22:01] * Ralith dives behind a wall in the church
[22:02] * Lupin reaches the church and dives behind a pew
[22:02] <@Baphnedia> You see that the lights are on as your looking backfrom the church
[22:02] <Ralith> (Aki?)
[22:02] <@Baphnedia> There is a beeline trail going from the barn to your haven.
[22:02] <Ralith> (trail? as in, trampled grass or wheat or something?)
[22:03] <@Baphnedia> (grass, it's obvious to you, but maybe not obvious to others)
[22:03] <@Baphnedia> @d20
[22:03] <SnakeEyes> Baphnedia Rolled d20 for a Total of 10
[22:03] <@Baphnedia> @d8
[22:03] <SnakeEyes> Baphnedia Rolled d8 for a Total of 8
[22:04] <@Baphnedia> The famer exits the barn, holding a shotgun. The sun has risen, and he begins to circle the barn to look for what killed his cow.
[22:04] * Ralith looks around, searching for Aki
[22:05] * Lupin whispers, "You know I don't think it'd be a good idea to stay here long."
[22:05] <Ralith> (dangit Aki, where are you?)
[22:05] <Ralith> (in fact...)
[22:05] * Aki stealthily moves through the ruins of the church. Away from the barn.
[22:06] * Ralith is visibly relieved as he catches sight of Aki
[22:06] <@Baphnedia> The farmer is out of sight. He is somewhere between the barn and the house.
[22:06] <Ralith> (Any rules applying to shifting?)
[22:06] <@Baphnedia> (I'll go for 1 TF/day)
[22:06] <@Baphnedia> (like in the other game)
[22:07] <Ralith> (Mrh. Wouldn't want to be stuck as a wolf for the rest of the day; speech is useful)
[22:07] <Lupin> (What's behind the church?)
[22:07] *** Darkmoon (~chatzilla@*.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net) joined
[22:07] <@Baphnedia> wheat fields, part of what that tractor is harvesting
[22:07] <@Baphnedia> (wb darkmoon)
[22:08] <Darkmoon> (hi)
[22:08] * Ralith drops to all fours and bounds away from the church and barn, doing his best to stay out of sight of the tractor
[22:09] <@Baphnedia> There are other buildings that you are heading towards, but you have a wide berth in these fields.
[22:09] <@Baphnedia> How far will you run?
[22:09] <Ralith> (what's in the distance?)
[22:09] * Lupin checkes to see if the farmer is still hidden, then follows after Ralith
[22:09] <@Baphnedia> hills, and more farms
[22:10] * Aki folllows as well, hoping the farmer can't follow their trail.
[22:10] <@Baphnedia> There is a pond with sheltering bushes up ahead
[22:10] <@Baphnedia> you see it after you pass the first two farms.
[22:10] * Ralith changes his course slightly towards it, aiming for one bush in particular
[22:10] * Ralith slows, being careful not to leave a trace
[22:11] <@Baphnedia> The bush looks inviting.
[22:11] <Ralith> (o.O)
[22:11] <@Baphnedia> (/me yawns... all sleepy)
[22:11] <Darkmoon> darkmoon will join now?
[22:12] * Ralith slips into the cluster, trying to find a position in which he'll remain hidden and be granted a good view of where he came from
[22:12] <Ralith> (Darkmoon: msg'd baph?)
[22:12] <Darkmoon> no?
[22:12] <@Baphnedia> You smell a new scent
[22:12] <@Baphnedia> (np)
[22:12] <@Baphnedia> the same one you smelled once before at the church
[22:12] <@Baphnedia> (is everyone at the pond I'm guessing?
[22:13] <Ralith> ( Lupin ? Aki ?)
[22:13] <Lupin> (I was just following Ralith, so yes.)
[22:13] <Aki> (Yeah)
[22:13] * Ralith ignore the scent for now, trying to determine if they'd been followed
[22:13] * Lupin breaks off to locate the scent.
[22:13] <@Baphnedia> (kk - feel free to keep freestyling - I'm going to bed for a bit)
[22:14] <@Baphnedia> (I will post the log up to this point and post it on the pack and www.paradice.net)

Here's the continuation of that after Baph left and I took over. Hope I didn't screw anything up too badly in my first time DMing


Nov 05 20:14:51 <Baph_sleep> (hehe... Ralith, you're in charge... it's farm country, you're at an artificial pondd)
Nov 05 20:15:09 <Baph_sleep> (night!)
Nov 05 20:15:16 <Ralith> (You expect me to DM and play a PC simultaneously? :/)
Nov 05 20:15:18 <Ralith> (night)
Nov 05 20:15:30 <Ralith> (right, let's give this a try)
Nov 05 20:15:58 <Ralith> Lupin: the scent is originating from another bush cluster a few meters away
Nov 05 20:16:11 * Darkmoon <had been sleeping in the quiet shade of the bushes when she was awakened by the sound of people running through the foliage. Instantly she sprang up, ears twiching franticaly, blinking in sleepy surprise at the appearance of the others>
Nov 05 20:16:43 <Ralith> (the <>s aren't necessary )
Nov 05 20:17:05 <Darkmoon> (ooo ok..i'll work on that)
Nov 05 20:18:09 <Ralith> (Lupin, are you going to act, or shall we call a halt for the night?)
Nov 05 20:18:19 * Lupin approaches the cluster of bushes slowly, trying not to startle whoever is within them.
Nov 05 20:18:46 <Lupin> (Sorry, I'm kinda watching TV as well.)
Nov 05 20:18:53 <Ralith> (Grr.)
Nov 05 20:18:53 * Aki hangs back cautiously, watching Lupin aproach the bushes
Nov 05 20:19:11 * Ralith , having come to the decision that they'd made an escape, turns towards the bushes
Nov 05 20:19:44 <Lupin> (Darkmoon, your move, I guess?)
Nov 05 20:19:55 <Darkmoon> pokes her head out, nose to nose with Lupin. She yelps and springs back in surprise.
Nov 05 20:20:08 <Ralith> (you DO need the /me. Didn't you see my example? )
Nov 05 20:20:24 * Lupin is startled and jumps back a bit.
Nov 05 20:20:33 <Ralith> "Well, this is a surprise. Who're you?"
Nov 05 20:20:47 <Darkmoon> (yesh... *grins sheepishly* I'll get it eventually )
Nov 05 20:22:08 * Darkmoon blinks and stutters "I...I"m Darkmoon...who are you?"
Nov 05 20:22:35 <Lupin> "I'm Lupin. I'll let the others introduce themselves."
Nov 05 20:22:43 <Ralith> "Ralith."
Nov 05 20:23:18 <Aki> "Aki."
Nov 05 20:24:19 <Ralith> "What're you doing here in the middle of a field like this?"
Nov 05 20:25:24 * Darkmoon looks around and squints at the field. "I didn't think I'd come this far"
Nov 05 20:25:50 <Ralith> "What, did you sleepwalk?"
Nov 05 20:27:23 * Darkmoon snorts "No, I...um...was running away..."
Nov 05 20:27:50 <Aki> "From what?"
Nov 05 20:27:55 <Ralith> (err... I feel like an idiot, but... are you male or female?)
Nov 05 20:28:12 <Lupin> "Hmm, this seems to be a popular hangout for that."
Nov 05 20:28:20 <Darkmoon> (female)
Nov 05 20:28:53 * Ralith motions to Darkmoon's teeth and claws. "Running away? What would you need to run away from?"
Nov 05 20:30:45 * Darkmoon looks down at her feet "heh..funny actually...I was hungry...ya' know? and...well..hehe..and there was these dogs...yah..big..scary scary...and..well..heh..." her voice trailed off
Nov 05 20:31:12 <Ralith> "New to all this, hmm?"
Nov 05 20:32:00 * Darkmoon swallowed and looks Ralith in the eyes "Just a little..."
Nov 05 20:32:01 <Ralith> A tractor's engine begins to become clear over the background noise
Nov 05 20:32:52 <Ralith> ( *pokes Luping and Aki again* don't abandon us here )
Nov 05 20:32:57 * Lupin looks in the direction of the tractor noise.
Nov 05 20:33:11 * Darkmoon jumps at the sound, ears twitching nervously
Nov 05 20:33:28 <Lupin> (How thick are these bushes.??)
Nov 05 20:33:30 * Aki turns towards the sound of the tractor
Nov 05 20:33:37 <Ralith> The vehicle appears to be following its normal route, moving up and down the field
Nov 05 20:34:00 <Ralith> (Lupin: mmm... say, good cover from 10+ meters away)
Nov 05 20:34:26 <Ralith> It looks like it'll come dangerously close soon
Nov 05 20:34:52 <Lupin> "I think we should move from here."
Nov 05 20:34:56 <Ralith> (Lupin: just to make this clear, YOU are in charge of our little group of 3; I don't want to be both DM and alpha )
Nov 05 20:35:20 <Lupin> (Got it.)
Nov 05 20:35:22 * Ralith eyes the tractor nervously. "Yeah..."
Nov 05 20:35:41 * Darkmoon nods
Nov 05 20:35:42 <Ralith> (Oh god, now I've got to come up with some descriptions )
Nov 05 20:35:58 * Ralith looks to Lupin
Nov 05 20:36:04 <Lupin> (Yes. Those other bushes how are they.)
Nov 05 20:36:09 <Ralith> "Where to?"
Nov 05 20:36:25 <Ralith> (Similar to this clump; decent cover so long as noone's looking too close)
Nov 05 20:37:00 <Ralith> (Take note that these are just a small cluster around an artificial pond; it's open land all around, omitting the occasional building)
Nov 05 20:37:01 <Lupin> (Anything else?)
Nov 05 20:37:26 <Ralith> A highway is visible in the distance
Nov 05 20:37:38 <Ralith> a car passes by every few minutes
Nov 05 20:38:01 <Ralith> past it there lies a forest
Nov 05 20:38:44 <Ralith> The sound of the tractor's engine grows clearer
Nov 05 20:38:46 * Lupin points to the clump of bushes furthest from the oncoming tractor. "There, then after he's turned around, we'll head for the forest."
Nov 05 20:39:12 * Ralith nods and slips to it
Nov 05 20:39:17 * Darkmoon springs for the clump
Nov 05 20:39:37 <Ralith> roll d20 for attention-getting, Darkmoon
Nov 05 20:39:45 * Lupin heads off with Ralith and Darkmoon
Nov 05 20:39:48 * Aki hurries towards the clump, staying low and as out of sight as possible
Nov 05 20:40:01 <Darkmoon> (how does one roll?)
Nov 05 20:40:10 <Lupin> (@d20)
Nov 05 20:40:10 <SnakeEyes> Lupin rolled d20 for a Total of 12
Nov 05 20:40:17 <Ralith> (@<number>d<sides>, for example, @1d20)
Nov 05 20:40:19 <Ralith> (or like that)
Nov 05 20:40:42 <Darkmoon> @d20
Nov 05 20:40:43 <SnakeEyes> Darkmoon Rolled d20 for a Total of 4
Nov 05 20:40:59 <Darkmoon> (ooo that hurts)
Nov 05 20:41:04 <Lupin> (Huh, so it parses it inside things as well.)
Nov 05 20:41:09 <Ralith> Darkmoon: you slip on landing and fall into a bush, making a moderately loud crash
Nov 05 20:41:41 <Ralith> the tractor pauses for a moment as its driver looks over, but seeing nothing, resumes its course
Nov 05 20:41:53 <Ralith> It reaches the end of the row and turns.
Nov 05 20:42:10 * Darkmoon curses softly, she still doesn't quite know how to use this body yet
Nov 05 20:42:29 * Ralith glares at Darkmoon
Nov 05 20:42:40 * Lupin peeks out of the bushes at the high way, looking for traffic.
Nov 05 20:42:50 <Ralith> @d20
Nov 05 20:42:50 <SnakeEyes> Ralith Rolled d20 for a Total of 4
Nov 05 20:43:11 <Ralith> there's a widely-spaced but steady stream of cars passing by
Nov 05 20:44:02 <Ralith> (Aki, stop being so passive already )
Nov 05 20:44:36 <Lupin> "I say we wait for the next car to pass, then head out after it's done."
Nov 05 20:44:54 <Lupin> "er... gone"
Nov 05 20:45:28 <Ralith> "You sure we can make that without being seen?"
Nov 05 20:45:51 <Aki> "Who'll believe some country hick driving only slightly after dawn?"
Nov 05 20:46:20 * Lupin turns to Ralith "Would you rather get spotted by the guy on the tractor?"
Nov 05 20:46:26 <Ralith> "That's not what worries me. It's the shotgun in the back of must contry hick's trucks that worries me."
Nov 05 20:46:48 <Lupin> "They still have to stop and turn around."
Nov 05 20:47:25 <Ralith> "That's still quite a risk we'd be taking"
Nov 05 20:47:41 <Ralith> "They have plenty of room to turn, after all"
Nov 05 20:47:49 * Darkmoon sits silently, feeling nervous at the talk of guns...
Nov 05 20:48:02 <Ralith> "And what if they have something that can go offroad?"
Nov 05 20:48:19 <Aki> "How about we jump the next one and highjack it?"
Nov 05 20:48:30 <Lupin> "Well, we can always wait if it is."
Nov 05 20:48:42 * Ralith looks like he's about to disagree with Aki, but pauses.
Nov 05 20:48:55 <Ralith> "You know, that's actually not such a bad idea."
Nov 05 20:49:21 <Ralith> The tractor is approaching the end of its row, and will be turning back soon
Nov 05 20:49:50 <Lupin> "And what about that shotgun?"
Nov 05 20:49:51 * Darkmoon doesn't like this idea...too much...but she stay silent
Nov 05 20:50:12 <Darkmoon> (gah I cannot type fast...)
Nov 05 20:50:23 <Ralith> "Good point. We'd also need to find some way to get them to stop..."
Nov 05 20:50:27 * Ralith looks back to Aki
Nov 05 20:50:38 <Aki> "Hm. Step out in the road and go 'Rawr'?"
Nov 05 20:51:04 <Ralith> "That's more likely to get you ran over."
Nov 05 20:51:13 <Aki> "Yeah."
Nov 05 20:51:26 <Lupin> "Hmm."
Nov 05 20:51:44 <Darkmoon> we..we're werewolves right..can't one of us just..change into a full wolf...and like..
Nov 05 20:52:10 <Darkmoon> pretend to be an injured animal...the person will stop to look...and ..umm we can take the car?
Nov 05 20:52:16 <Ralith> "Not much use. You'd get ran down just as likely"
Nov 05 20:52:17 <Lupin> "Yeah, but you'd be stuck like that for the rest of the day."
Nov 05 20:52:25 <Ralith> "Remember what sort of people we're dealing with here"
Nov 05 20:52:34 <Aki> "They'll shoot the wolf quicker than a Gestalt. The gestalt gives you the factor of ..scaryness."
Nov 05 20:52:47 <Aki> "But they'll shoot that too. But not as quickly."
Nov 05 20:53:02 <Ralith> "But they'd ignore a 'wounded' wolf, and run down either happily."
Nov 05 20:53:23 <Ralith> "We can't take that sort of risk of exposure."
Nov 05 20:53:26 * Darkmoon doesn't like all this talk of getting shot and being run over
Nov 05 20:54:04 <Ralith> The tractor is approaching the end of its row, and will be turning back soon
Nov 05 20:54:35 * Lupin looks at the tractor, "Well we need to do something soon."
Nov 05 20:54:57 <Aki> "What about human form, It'll be awkward..but maybe they'd stop for that...?"
Nov 05 20:55:17 <Ralith> "Again, remember who we're dealing with. But they wouldn't run you down..."
Nov 05 20:55:54 <Lupin> "How about we try to cross, and if they see us and stop, then we try to hijack the car."
Nov 05 20:56:05 <Aki> "Works for me.."
Nov 05 20:56:07 <Ralith> "Sounds good."
Nov 05 20:56:11 * Darkmoon shivers
Nov 05 20:56:16 <Ralith> "We'd better hurry..."
Nov 05 20:56:24 <Lupin> "Yes."
Nov 05 20:56:24 <Darkmoon> fine
Nov 05 20:56:45 <Ralith> (Darkmoon: use quotes when speaking, please)
Nov 05 20:57:08 <Lupin> (Has the farmer turned yet?")
Nov 05 20:57:10 <Darkmoon> (yah...i realized that after i hit send... sorry)
Nov 05 20:57:21 <Ralith> Lupin: (nope, but you're /really/ short on time.)
Nov 05 20:57:36 * Ralith looks back at the tractor, agitated
Nov 05 20:57:45 <Lupin> (And the cars on the highway?)
Nov 05 20:57:46 <Ralith> "Are we going or what?"
Nov 05 20:57:56 <Ralith> (Still in the same nature as before
Nov 05 20:57:58 <Ralith> )
Nov 05 20:58:38 * Lupin waits for the next car to pass, and gets down the road far enough not to notice, then darts out of the bushes for the forest across the road.
Nov 05 20:58:51 <Ralith> roll 1d20 for stealth
Nov 05 20:58:58 <Lupin> @d20
Nov 05 20:58:58 <SnakeEyes> Lupin Rolled d20 for a Total of 19
Nov 05 20:59:29 <Lupin> (Wow, the bot really likes me.)
Nov 05 20:59:31 <Ralith> Lupin slips across the road directly behind the last car, smoothly evading notice, and enters cover on the other side.
Nov 05 20:59:41 * Ralith dashes after Lupin
Nov 05 20:59:44 <Ralith> @d20
Nov 05 20:59:44 <SnakeEyes> Ralith Rolled d20 for a Total of 18
Nov 05 21:00:04 <Ralith> Ralith follows, the next car still out of sight.
Nov 05 21:00:05 * Aki swiftly follows after the other two.
Nov 05 21:00:11 <Ralith> Aki: roll
Nov 05 21:00:12 <Aki> @d20
Nov 05 21:00:12 <SnakeEyes> Aki Rolled d20 for a Total of 14
Nov 05 21:00:57 <Ralith> Aki makes it across without event
Nov 05 21:01:06 * Darkmoon wines unhappily, closes her eyes, drops down on all fours, and races across
Nov 05 21:01:16 <Ralith> The tractor turns
Nov 05 21:01:17 <Darkmoon> @d20
Nov 05 21:01:17 <SnakeEyes> Darkmoon Rolled d20 for a Total of 9
Nov 05 21:01:23 <Ralith> -5
Nov 05 21:01:29 <Ralith> =4
Nov 05 21:02:02 <Ralith> The tractor grinds to a halt as its driver stares, open-mouthed, at what just ran across the highway.
Nov 05 21:02:05 <Lupin> (brb switching computers)
Nov 05 21:02:16 <Ralith> The next car crests the rise
Nov 05 21:02:28 <Ralith> (Darkmoon: you going to get under cover or not?)
Nov 05 21:02:54 * Darkmoon rucks her tail between her legs and dives for cover
Nov 05 21:03:07 <Ralith> (For future information: it'd probably be best not to roll until I say so, in case I have some modifier to mention like the -5.)
Nov 05 21:03:22 <Ralith> The car slows as it passes, but doesn't stop
Nov 05 21:03:58 <Ralith> @d20
Nov 05 21:03:58 <SnakeEyes> Ralith Rolled d20 for a Total of 3
Nov 05 21:04:18 <Ralith> The tractor starts again, breaking from its pattern and heading straight for the highway where you crossed.
Nov 05 21:05:26 <Lupin> (back)
Nov 05 21:05:40 <Ralith> (need a recount?)
Nov 05 21:06:16 <Lupin> (No, I can see it.)
Nov 05 21:06:23 * Darkmoon joins the others, panting and staring wide-eyed at the tractor
Nov 05 21:06:27 <Lupin> (screen++)
Nov 05 21:06:35 <Ralith> (I love that tool )
Nov 05 21:07:04 * Ralith glares at Darkmoon. "That guy's seen us, and who knows how clear a look he got! You've got to be more careful!"
Nov 05 21:07:40 <Lupin> (Yeah, I have irssi attached to several different instances on different computers.)
Nov 05 21:08:14 <Aki> "Don't be so hard on her, she was the last one to cross, it wasn't entirely her fault."
Nov 05 21:08:47 <Ralith> "She should've gone sooner. In fact, we probably all should have gone simultaneously."
Nov 05 21:09:21 <Lupin> "Yes, but it's too late for that now.
Nov 05 21:09:46 <Ralith> "So now what?"
Nov 05 21:10:04 <Ralith> The tractor's reached the edge of the highway, and it doesn't look like the farmer's going to stop.
Nov 05 21:10:25 <Lupin> "We move deeper into the forest, so the famer doesn't see us when he gets over here."
Nov 05 21:11:27 * Darkmoon nods her approval
Nov 05 21:11:38 <Ralith> "Well then, are we going?"
Nov 05 21:12:14 * Lupin looks at Ralith, and heads deeper into the forest.
Nov 05 21:12:26 * Ralith follows
Nov 05 21:12:42 * Darkmoon glances back before following
Nov 05 21:13:13 * Aki follows as well
Nov 05 21:13:30 <Ralith> Darkmoon: you see that the farmer's crossed the highway, and is inspecting where you were just hiding. Sunlight reflects off something metallic in his hands
Nov 05 21:14:23 * Darkmoon moves faster into the woods
Nov 05 21:14:42 * Ralith notices Darkmoon's sudden acceleration
Nov 05 21:14:45 <Ralith> "See something?"
Nov 05 21:15:20 <Ralith> (*note to self: msg player-specific things to specific players >.<)
Nov 05 21:16:01 <Lupin> (heh)
Nov 05 21:16:09 <Darkmoon> "ummm...you know that type of person we were talking about earlier...welll that farmer seems to be one of them"
Nov 05 21:16:24 <Ralith> "Huh?"
Nov 05 21:16:31 <Aki> "Shotgun totting Redneck."
Nov 05 21:16:39 <Ralith> "Oh."
Nov 05 21:16:59 <Ralith> A cliff looms ahead
Nov 05 21:17:07 <Lupin> "Hopefully he won't go all Elmer Fudd on us."
Nov 05 21:17:35 <Ralith> "I wouldn't mind being able to hand him a stick of dynamite..."
Nov 05 21:18:02 <Ralith> You've reached the cliff; there' s no obvious way around
Nov 05 21:18:18 <Ralith> it's not too high; only 5 meters or so
Nov 05 21:18:35 <Ralith> err
Nov 05 21:18:41 <Ralith> think backwards cliff
Nov 05 21:18:44 <Ralith> we're on the bottom
Nov 05 21:19:08 <Lupin> ('The bottom of the cliff')
Nov 05 21:19:17 <Ralith> (right, thanks >.<)
Nov 05 21:19:32 <Darkmoon> (boo ya! this is where my Pack nickname as wallcrawler comes in handy!)
Nov 05 21:19:47 <Ralith> (Remember, you're not comfortable with this body yet)
Nov 05 21:19:59 <Ralith> (you can't even jump smoothly)
Nov 05 21:20:05 <Darkmoon> (yah...so true)
Nov 05 21:20:17 <Ralith> (Do you attempt to climb it?)
Nov 05 21:21:00 * Lupin looks up, then back in the farmer's direction. "We should try climbing it, I guess."
Nov 05 21:21:30 <Darkmoon> (hehe..if it were really me I'd try...)
Nov 05 21:21:38 <-- Darkmoon has quit (Connection reset by peer)
Nov 05 21:21:43 <Ralith> :/

Nov 05 21:23:35 <Ralith> (You miss peer and slash open Darkmoon's router, shattering the circuitry)
Nov 05 21:23:44 --> Darkmoon (~chatzilla@*.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net) has joined #paradice

Nov 05 21:23:51 <Ralith> (hehe)
Nov 05 21:23:53 <Ralith> (we waited)
Nov 05 21:23:56 <Lupin> (Hahaha)
Nov 05 21:24:12 <Ralith> Lupin: roll d20 for climbing
Nov 05 21:24:22 <Lupin> @d20
Nov 05 21:24:23 <SnakeEyes> Lupin Rolled d20 for a Total of 14
Nov 05 21:25:53 <Ralith> You heave yourself up the rock face, losing your grip for a moment, but safely swing yourself over the top
Nov 05 21:26:38 <Lupin> "Well, that wasn't so bad. I've been in trees that were worse."
Nov 05 21:26:42 * Aki tries to climb up after Lupin
Nov 05 21:26:48 <Ralith> roll 1d20
Nov 05 21:26:51 <Aki> @d20
Nov 05 21:26:51 <SnakeEyes> Aki Rolled d20 for a Total of 2
Nov 05 21:27:01 <Aki> (Ow..)
Nov 05 21:27:29 * Ralith cringes as Aki looses his grip half way up and falls back, as if in slow motion, landing on Darkmoon
Nov 05 21:28:05 <Ralith> You can hear someone crashing through the brush a fair ways off behind you
Nov 05 21:28:51 * Darkmoon yelps in pain as she is crushed by Aki. "Soft landing?" she growls angrily at him.
Nov 05 21:29:15 <Ralith> Aki, Darkmoon: You're both dazed from the fall.
Nov 05 21:29:52 * Ralith , hearing the approaching noises, gives the two on the ground a look and then leaps onto the rock face himself
Nov 05 21:29:55 <Ralith> @d20
Nov 05 21:29:55 <SnakeEyes> Ralith Rolled d20 for a Total of 2
Nov 05 21:29:59 <Ralith> >.<
Nov 05 21:30:00 * Aki moans in pain, rolling off Darkmoon. "Sorry."
Nov 05 21:30:05 <Aki> (lol!)
Nov 05 21:30:20 <Aki> (Perpare to join us.. >:D)
Nov 05 21:30:25 * Lupin looks at everone else and sighs. "Oh boy."
Nov 05 21:30:25 * Ralith looses his grib and falls, landing on his tail in a thorned bush
Nov 05 21:30:40 <Ralith> "Ouch..."
Nov 05 21:31:14 <Ralith> The crashing of crushed undergrowth is growing nearer
Nov 05 21:31:37 * Ralith pulls himself out of the bush, bleeding from numerous scratches
Nov 05 21:31:56 * Aki tries to climb up again
Nov 05 21:32:02 <Ralith> roll 1d20-5
Nov 05 21:32:06 <Aki> @d20-5
Nov 05 21:32:06 <SnakeEyes> Aki Rolled d20-5 for a Total of 1
Nov 05 21:32:11 <Aki> Gah.
Nov 05 21:32:14 <Ralith> (oooooooh s***.)
Nov 05 21:33:05 <Ralith> You shakily attempt to scale the face again, but grab ahold of a deceptively loose rock for a handhold, and fall straight downward, crashing into the rocks at the bottom
Nov 05 21:33:17 * Ralith looks up to Lupin. "A little help here?!"
Nov 05 21:33:30 <Ralith> "Find a thick vine or something, we're not going to be able to get up!"
Nov 05 21:33:37 * Darkmoon blinks dizzily and stands up, growling softly under her breath. "My turn" She starts climbing, hoping that her past experience as a rockclimber will get her through this one...
Nov 05 21:34:00 * Aki groans, growling and cursing at the rocks, and slowly gettings up from where fell, aching all over.
Nov 05 21:34:04 <Aki> where he*
Nov 05 21:34:10 <Ralith> Darkmoon: roll 1d20-8 (-5 for dazed state, -3 for lack of skill)
Nov 05 21:34:17 * Lupin looks for a vine he can use to pull the rest of them up.
Nov 05 21:34:22 <Darkmoon> (grins)
Nov 05 21:34:35 <Darkmoon> d20-8
Nov 05 21:34:42 <Darkmoon> (oops)
Nov 05 21:34:54 <Ralith> Aki: you're badly bruised and having trouble holding yourself steady
Nov 05 21:35:08 <Ralith> Darkmoon: come on, roll
Nov 05 21:35:10 <Darkmoon> @d20-8
Nov 05 21:35:11 <SnakeEyes> Darkmoon Rolled d20-8 for a Total of 6
Nov 05 21:35:21 <Ralith> Darkmoon: hold it there for a moment
Nov 05 21:35:30 <Ralith> (camera cuts to Lupin )
Nov 05 21:35:43 <Ralith> Lupin: Nothing presents itself immidiatley.
Nov 05 21:35:53 <Lupin> (Oh great.)
Nov 05 21:36:49 * Lupin tries to figure out some other way of getting everyone else up here, while still searching.
Nov 05 21:37:07 <Ralith> (I'm the DM, not your muse. Work something out yourself)
Nov 05 21:37:25 <Lupin> (Yeah I know, I'm thinking.)
Nov 05 21:38:52 * Lupin finds a fairly sturdy tree branch and rushes back to the others.
Nov 05 21:39:08 * Darkmoon clings to the rock, about halfway up, shaking, her eyes squeezed closed. "Oh crap, oh crap..oh crap..." she mutters, realizing that climbing without human feet is very very hard...
Nov 05 21:39:22 <Ralith> (heey, nice timing )
Nov 05 21:39:49 <Ralith> Darkmoon's feet slip as she scrabbles for a hold; her weight is supported only by her hands
Nov 05 21:40:28 * Darkmoon yelps in fear "LUPIN!!"
Nov 05 21:41:10 * Lupin drops to the ground and grabs Darkmoon's hand.
Nov 05 21:41:35 <Ralith> roll 1d20, Lupin
Nov 05 21:41:43 <Lupin> @d20
Nov 05 21:41:43 <SnakeEyes> Lupin Rolled d20 for a Total of 8
Nov 05 21:41:54 <Lupin> (Ah crap)
Nov 05 21:42:08 <Ralith> You snatch for her hand, managing to secure an unsteady grip on her fingers.
Nov 05 21:42:13 <Ralith> Darkmoon: roll the same
Nov 05 21:42:27 <Darkmoon> @d20
Nov 05 21:42:27 <SnakeEyes> Darkmoon Rolled d20 for a Total of 4
Nov 05 21:42:37 <Darkmoon> (awww crud)
Nov 05 21:42:39 <Ralith> (oh god, are we EVER going to get up this cliff?)
Nov 05 21:43:04 <Ralith> (fine, cameo muse appearance.)
Nov 05 21:43:06 <Darkmoon> (lets just attack the hunter already!)
Nov 05 21:43:20 <Ralith> (you've already shown to be far too timid; you ran from mere DOGS.)
Nov 05 21:43:47 <Darkmoon> (i don't mean me...i get to cower in fear!)
Nov 05 21:44:07 <Ralith> Lupin: Her hand slips from your grip, and she now hangs by only one, the section of rock to which its claws are dug into slowly coming loose. You remember the branch.
Nov 05 21:45:17 <Ralith> (Darkmoon: and we think he has a shotgun. As strong and posessing-of-pointy-bits as we might be, that's longer range.)
Nov 05 21:46:08 * Lupin fumbles around behind him, grabbing the branch and extending it to Darkmoon
Nov 05 21:46:12 <Darkmoon> (I know...but realistically he would have caught up by now...which would be a bad thing)
Nov 05 21:46:35 <Ralith> (We're werewolves; moving on all fours we can do excess of 40mph)
Nov 05 21:46:52 <Darkmoon> (do i have to roll to see if i get the branch...?)
Nov 05 21:47:13 <Ralith> yes; 1d20+5 (it's a branch; they're easy to grab)
Nov 05 21:47:22 <Lupin> (Not to mention our hearing is a lot better, so he's a lot father out.)
Nov 05 21:47:28 <Ralith> (exactly)
Nov 05 21:47:40 <Darkmoon> @d20+5
Nov 05 21:47:40 <SnakeEyes> Darkmoon Rolled d20+5 for a Total of 15
Nov 05 21:47:48 <Ralith> (*whew*)
Nov 05 21:48:02 <Ralith> Darkmoon manages to secure a hold on the branch with her free hand
Nov 05 21:48:28 <Lupin> (Finally.)
Nov 05 21:48:39 <Darkmoon> (no kidding)
Nov 05 21:49:03 <Ralith> (Lupin: you gonna just leave her hanging there?)
Nov 05 21:49:19 * Lupin begins to pull D arkmoon up the cliff.
Nov 05 21:49:33 <Lupin> (I was in the middle of typing as you said that.)
Nov 05 21:49:45 <Ralith> (oh, sorry. I get impatient too easily )
Nov 05 21:50:23 * Ralith looks up to Lupin. "Can we get a hand down here?"
Nov 05 21:50:55 * Darkmoon is pulled up to the top, where she sits down to rest.
Nov 05 21:51:33 <Ralith> (Aki: ping)
Nov 05 21:51:56 <Aki> (Ralith: Pong)
Nov 05 21:52:01 * Lupin lowers the branch down again "Well, I was looking for something to pull you guys up with, but this is all I found."
Nov 05 21:52:08 <Lupin> "Seems to work well enough."
Nov 05 21:52:14 <Ralith> "It'll do."
Nov 05 21:52:22 --> Darkmoon_ (~chatzilla@*.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net) has joined #paradice
Nov 05 21:52:28 <Darkmoon_> (growls angrily at computer)
Nov 05 21:52:43 * Ralith takes a few steps back and leaps towards the branch
Nov 05 21:52:52 <Ralith> @d20+5
Nov 05 21:52:52 <SnakeEyes> Ralith Rolled d20+5 for a Total of 24
Nov 05 21:52:56 <Ralith> (:D)
Nov 05 21:53:14 * Ralith hits latches onto it and clambers up, pulling himself over the edge
Nov 05 21:53:26 <Ralith> "Thanks."
Nov 05 21:53:43 <Lupin> "No problem."
Nov 05 21:53:47 <Ralith> By now the movement through the brush is evidently quite near
Nov 05 21:53:48 <Lupin> "Okay Aki, your turn"
Nov 05 21:53:50 * Aki jumps up and grabs at the branch
Nov 05 21:53:56 <Ralith> roll 1d20+5
Nov 05 21:53:59 <Aki> @d20+5
Nov 05 21:53:59 <SnakeEyes> Aki Rolled d20+5 for a Total of 22
Nov 05 21:54:18 * Ralith sighs in relief as Aki grabs a secure hold on the branch
Nov 05 21:54:52 * Lupin pulls Aki up on to the cliff.
Nov 05 21:55:12 <Ralith> "Let's get out of here before that guy shows up!"
Nov 05 21:55:35 * Lupin nods "Good idea."
Nov 05 21:55:49 <-- Darkmoon has quit (EOF from client)
Nov 05 21:55:49 --- Darkmoon_ is now known as Darkmoon
Nov 05 21:56:14 * Lupin looks at Darkmoon "You ready?"
Nov 05 21:56:43 <Ralith> The movement through the brush is nearly here
Nov 05 21:57:19 <Lupin> (Earth to Darkmoon, do you read?)
Nov 05 21:57:23 * Darkmoon nods
Nov 05 21:57:23 <Ralith> "I don't know about you all, but I don't want to be here when that guy shows."
Nov 05 21:57:39 * Lupin sets off.
Nov 05 21:57:43 * Ralith follows
Nov 05 21:57:48 * Darkmoon follows
Nov 05 21:58:00 * Ralith drags Aki along by the scruff of his neck
Nov 05 21:58:12 <Aki> (:P)
Nov 05 21:58:24 <Ralith> @d20
Nov 05 21:58:24 <SnakeEyes> Ralith Rolled d20 for a Total of 7
Nov 05 21:58:57 <Ralith> The man runs up to the rock face, clearly out of breath
Nov 05 21:59:19 <Ralith> he looks around, and notices some fur caught on a bush to his right
Nov 05 21:59:49 <Ralith> glancing over the scene once more, he sets off in that direction at a more maintainable pace
Nov 05 22:00:03 * Ralith slows
Nov 05 22:00:07 <Ralith> "Sounds like he left."
Nov 05 22:00:28 * Lupin sniffs the air "Yep. His scent is getting weaker."
Nov 05 22:00:46 * Ralith comes to a halt
Nov 05 22:01:02 <Ralith> "Now that that's over with, why did you bring us here in the first place?"
Nov 05 22:01:11 <Ralith> (hehe, bet you'd forgotten about that!)
Nov 05 22:01:31 <Lupin> (Nope.)
Nov 05 22:02:04 * Lupin points at Darkmoon. "Simple. I smelled her."
Nov 05 22:02:20 <Ralith> (bah, cheapskate.)
Nov 05 22:02:39 <Ralith> "Why've you been so cryptic about the whole thing"
Nov 05 22:02:42 <Ralith> "?"
Nov 05 22:02:57 * Aki grins, "So, you follow the scent of any female you smell?"
Nov 05 22:03:18 <Lupin> "When am I ever not cryptic?"
Nov 05 22:03:30 * Ralith sighs.
Nov 05 22:03:49 * Darkmoon stares at them...sniffing the air
Nov 05 22:04:17 <Darkmoon> "smell me" she grumbles to herself
Nov 05 22:04:47 <Ralith> Darkmoon: You smell the usual forest background; trees, dirt, animals (in absence for the most part due to the recent commotion)
Nov 05 22:05:42 * Lupin turns to Aki, "Well, it's not exactly prudent to let an inexpirenced shifter run around all by themselves."
Nov 05 22:05:55 <Lupin> "Just look at what happened with the farmer."
Nov 05 22:05:58 <Ralith> "Good point, that. She almost got us all caught."
Nov 05 22:06:10 * Ralith glares
Nov 05 22:06:56 <Ralith> "So what's your story, anyway?"
Nov 05 22:07:15 <Ralith> (to Darkmoon)
Nov 05 22:07:31 <Darkmoon> (hehe quick thinking)
Nov 05 22:08:54 <Ralith> (or not so quick thinking, that works too )
Nov 05 22:09:36 <Darkmoon> (*grumbles* one sec one sec..let me type..)
Nov 05 22:10:52 <Darkmoon> "I...I don't know.." She said, staring down at her clawed hands. "It started a a couple months ago..f"
Nov 05 22:11:42 <Ralith> "Monthis ago? You seem much less adjusted than that would indicate"
Nov 05 22:12:30 <Darkmoon> "little stuff...I could see better, smell better" she shook her head "I thought...I don't know...I thought is was cool but nothing..well" she stuttered... "then i was hungry..really really hungry"
Nov 05 22:12:59 * Ralith nods knowingly
Nov 05 22:13:44 <Lupin> "Yeah, I hated that."
Nov 05 22:14:08 * Aki nods in agreement.
Nov 05 22:14:54 <Darkmoon> "I don't really remember...but...I left home, went away, lots of walking... then-- " she shuddered I was so hungry...and I went for the cow...at least I think it was a cow..."
Nov 05 22:15:20 <Ralith> "But who bit you? Why weren't they helping you through it?"
Nov 05 22:16:35 * Darkmoon shook her head "no one bit me...at least I don't think anyone did..."
Nov 05 22:17:41 <Ralith> "/Someone/ had to. But without your noticing...?"
Nov 05 22:17:44 * Lupin looks at Darkmoon, puzzled. "But that's how it's always been spread..."
Nov 05 22:18:43 <Darkmoon> "I am adopted. So maybe..somehow... I don't know..."
Nov 05 22:18:58 <Ralith> (How old is your char?)
Nov 05 22:19:07 <Darkmoon> (no really..i am adopted )
Nov 05 22:19:17 <Ralith> (How old is your char?)
Nov 05 22:19:18 <Aki> "Heridity then, I'd wager. Passed down from the parents."
Nov 05 22:19:27 <Ralith> "How old are you?"
Nov 05 22:19:50 <Darkmoon> (i'm saying 18.. still a senior in high school)
Nov 05 22:20:01 <Lupin> "That's really really rare though, Aki."
Nov 05 22:20:31 <Ralith> "At least in cases where they don't know."
Nov 05 22:20:43 * Ralith turns back to Darkmoon
Nov 05 22:20:51 <Ralith> "Do you know anything at all about your birth parents?"
Nov 05 22:21:57 <Ralith> "They couldn't've been killed; humanity is still ignorant of us."
Nov 05 22:22:29 <Aki> "They could have died in a accident. You know, stuff that kills normal people. Like car Crashes."
Nov 05 22:22:43 <Darkmoon> " I'm...18...at least I think I am...I don't know my birthday for sure"
Nov 05 22:23:05 <Lupin> (grar Aki took what I was going to say )
Nov 05 22:24:14 <Lupin> "There's also the possiblity that your parents themselves didn't know."
Nov 05 22:24:29 <Lupin> "But that would be even more rare."
Nov 05 22:24:49 <Ralith> (@Aki) "Possible, I suppose, but still unlikely. It'd have to be something pretty major, and it doesn't follow that something that scale would leave her fine"
Nov 05 22:24:50 <SnakeEyes> Ralith rolled
Nov 05 22:24:55 <Ralith> (hehe)
Nov 05 22:25:57 <Darkmoon> " I...I don't know anything about them..my birth parents, my parents never really talked with me about it."
Nov 05 22:26:09 * Ralith turns to Lupin. "The chances of that are astronomical. It takes so many coincidences for the genes to be inactive in both parents, but activate in her..."
Nov 05 22:26:39 <Lupin> "Yeah I know. But it is still non-zero."
Nov 05 22:27:15 <Lupin> "This is all a moot point right now anyway."
Nov 05 22:27:24 <Ralith> "Huh?"
Nov 05 22:28:16 * Lupin looks at Ralith, "Well, right now it doesn't really mater how she got here, she's here isn't she?"
Nov 05 22:28:41 * Ralith cedes the point. "Still, it's intruiging..."
Nov 05 22:29:25 <Lupin> "Yes, it something that deserves looking into."
Nov 05 22:30:50 <Lupin> (Feel free to interrupt us at any time Darkmoon, and Aki)
Nov 05 22:32:34 <Ralith> (is anyone typing anything?)
Nov 05 22:32:56 <Darkmoon> (hehe..trying to think how to finish my story)
Nov 05 22:33:49 <Darkmoon> (hard to jump from your scientific conversation back to it.. maybe a little...help?)
Nov 05 22:34:09 * Lupin looked back at Darkmoon
Nov 05 22:34:20 * Ralith gives Darkmoon an expectant look
Nov 05 22:34:25 <Lupin> "Sorry about that, finish please."
Nov 05 22:36:26 * Darkmoon shudders continuing her story "But when the man chased me...with the dogs... I was scared...and still hungry...I killed the dogs...I remember that.." she closed her eyes momentarily "but the man...I can't remember..." she stopped her story, unable to continue and swallowed, "I ran, for a long time, untill I coudn't run anymore...then...I saw you guys"
Nov 05 22:37:05 <Ralith> (after falling asleep under a bush )
Nov 05 22:37:29 <Darkmoon> (yay for shrubbery!)
Nov 05 22:37:51 * Ralith looks worried. "How good a look at you did this guy get?"
Nov 05 22:37:59 <Lupin> (Heh.)
Nov 05 22:38:46 <Lupin> (And now for something completely different: Jeez, this guy on TV is like professor Exposition.)
Nov 05 22:39:45 * Darkmoon shook her head "I..can't really remember...but I...I think i could recognize his...his, sent"
Nov 05 22:40:51 <Ralith> (present tense )
Nov 05 22:41:25 <Ralith> "This is important. Did he get a clear look at you?"
Nov 05 22:43:13 <Darkmoon> "I don't know...it was dark... and...I don't think I looked like this when he saw me"
Nov 05 22:43:44 * Darkmoon holds out a clearly half-human half- wolf hand to demonstrate her point
Nov 05 22:43:47 <Ralith> "When did you shift?"
Nov 05 22:43:55 <Lupin> "Ah, that answers my next question."
Nov 05 22:44:18 <Lupin> "Was that the first time you had shifted?"
Nov 05 22:45:29 <Darkmoon> "I belive so"
Nov 05 22:46:26 * Lupin looks at Ralith "If it was the first time she shifted, then I'm almost certain that it was full wolf."
Nov 05 22:46:58 <Ralith> "Good point. That's probably safe, then."
Nov 05 22:47:27 * Ralith turns to Darkmoon. "Again; when did you shift?"
Nov 05 22:49:17 <Darkmoon> "when...?... I..I think two days ago, I ran alot... during the daytime too, that's when I changed into this"
Nov 05 22:49:32 <Lupin> "Darkmoon, during the First Change, we usually go to full wolf."
Nov 05 22:50:09 <Lupin> (I'm borrowing that from Freeborn.)
Nov 05 22:51:15 <Ralith> "I'm a little lost here. You shifted two days ago, tried to find food, attacked a cow and some dogs, then ran away from a guy with a shotgun?"
Nov 05 22:51:32 <Ralith> "I'm missing some time there. When'd you shift to Gestalt?"
Nov 05 22:52:28 <Darkmoon> ( on second day...gestalt...not frist day)
Nov 05 22:52:58 <Darkmoon> (cuz yall said one tf per day..i think)
Nov 05 22:53:27 <Lupin> "Okay, so you shifted, went to find food, attacked the farmer, ran, then shifted again the next day?"
Nov 05 22:54:38 <Darkmoon> (umm Sure! ...cut me some slack...i'm working on a time crunch.. it's hard to think up an entire plot in seconds...)
Nov 05 22:55:04 <Ralith> "Which would be yesterday. You were running for a whole day? No wonder you were so asleep..."
Nov 05 22:56:39 <Darkmoon> (usually i'm less random...when I have time to think through all my...mistakes...so sorry to mess ya'll up and whatnot...go..go..place the focus on someone else...my creativity is exhausted)
Nov 05 22:56:46 <Lupin> "Yeah, we have pretty good endurance, but a shift and then running the rest of the day would still be taxing."
Nov 05 22:57:16 <Ralith> (no problem; it's got no holes, and from someone in your condition it'd be expected to be confused)
Nov 05 22:58:24 <Ralith> "Where are you from, anyway?"
Nov 05 22:58:34 <Ralith> (in fact...
Nov 05 22:58:43 <Ralith> (hmm. don't answer that.)
Nov 05 22:59:01 <Ralith> "You must've came pretty far..."
Nov 05 22:59:47 <Ralith> "We should find somewhere to rest for a while."
Nov 05 23:00:02 * Ralith turns to Lupin. "You brought us here. Do you know the area?"
Nov 05 23:00:43 * Darkmoon yawned
Nov 05 23:01:30 <Darkmoon> (oops past tense again..sorry though..i am tired...rest is sounding good to me)
Nov 05 23:02:15 * Lupin points (ehhh...) eastish. There should be a cave and an oucropping that way that should provide some cover.
Nov 05 23:02:20 <Ralith> (hehe. Maybe we should break off for the night? Aki seems to have dropped asleep)
Nov 05 23:02:36 <Ralith> "Alright; let's head over there."
Nov 05 23:02:43 * Ralith takes off eastish
Nov 05 23:02:57 * Lupin heads in the direction he pointed.
Nov 05 23:03:06 <Aki> (I'm still here..)
Nov 05 23:03:28 * Aki follows the other two.
Nov 05 23:03:33 <Lupin> (Oh, well it helps to speak.)
Nov 05 23:04:08 * Ralith looks back to Darkmoon. "Coming?"
Nov 05 23:04:10 * Darkmoon follows sleepily, feeling better now that she has been able to talk out her problems with someone
Nov 05 23:04:50 <Ralith> "You're lucky Lupin scented you. Who knows what could've happened if you messed up and got caught..."
Nov 05 23:05:33 * Darkmoon shudders at the thought
Nov 05 23:06:02 <Ralith> You arrive at the cave.
Nov 05 23:06:52 <Lupin> "Well, at least you learned something. We were all young once."
Nov 05 23:07:45 <Darkmoon> "yah..." she sniffs at the entrance to the cave
Nov 05 23:07:54 <Ralith> "It's just that it's exceptionally rare for someone to have to go through their first shift alone and unprepared"
Nov 05 23:09:00 * Darkmoon looks up at Ralith, smiling sadly, "well, good thing I found you guys...or better put..you found me.."
Nov 05 23:09:10 * Ralith nods
Nov 05 23:09:31 <Ralith> "Now, I suggest you get some rest. We'll keep an eye out."
Nov 05 23:09:43 <Ralith> And with that, I think we can draw tonight's game to a close.
Nov 05 23:09:55 <Darkmoon> yup!
Nov 05 23:09:57 <Lupin> Sounds good.
Nov 05 23:10:39 <Aki> yep
Nov 05 23:11:42 * Darkmoon curls up in a fuzzy ball, puts her tail over her nose...and falls asleep

Cool.

Good god! No wonder I've never attemped to RP, I would have a hard time figuring out the IRC let alone the game mechanics!

We hardly have any game mechanics beyound do random stuff, roll some dice and pray it does something good.

roll some dice and pray it does something good

lol..yah... and when it doesn't...keep rolling it until it does...

That's the first time I've ever used IRC...the guys helped me struggle through it. (Thanks for putting up with me ) It was fun!

It works pretty well until the bot decides to hate you.

14:21:31 < SnakeEyes> Aki Rolled d20 for a Total of 18 Does both hate Ralith? (lower than ten = no, higher = yes)
14:21:35 < Aki> lol
14:21:51 < Ralith> thought so.
14:21:51 < Lupin> Hahaha
14:21:59 * Lupin stabs the bot
14:22:01 < Lupin> @d20
14:22:02 < SnakeEyes> Lupin Rolled d20 for a Total of 17
14:22:22 * Lupin plunges the knife deep within the bot's chest.
14:22:24 * Ralith goes for the bot's throat
14:22:26 < Ralith> @d20
14:22:26 < SnakeEyes> Ralith Rolled d20 for a Total of 12
14:22:32 * Ralith damages it
14:22:54 * Aki fires a rocket at the bot
14:23:01 < Aki> @d20+4
14:23:01 < SnakeEyes> Aki Rolled d20+4 for a Total of 15
14:23:13 * Aki causes much boomy-ness...
14:23:30 * Lupin jumps out of the way
14:23:32 < Lupin> @d20
14:23:32 < SnakeEyes> Lupin Rolled d20 for a Total of 8
14:24:04 * Lupin however, isn't fast enough and gets caught in the explosion.
14:27:07 < Aki> @d20 Damage to Lupin
14:27:07 < SnakeEyes> Aki Rolled d20 for a Total of 1 Damage to Lupin
14:27:16 < Aki> haha. Lucky.
14:27:45 * Lupin 's tail is singed.

Yeah - well the bot hates me too... I'm so glad that Vilkacis is doing such a great job writing a new one.

And the (small) bit that happened after that:

23:14:41 < Ralith> (got it; hope I don't fsck things up.)
23:15:09 < Ralith> "Did you see anything?"
23:15:51 < Aki> "Three hunters, one was the guy from before."
23:16:14 < Ralith> (As in the farmer on the tractor, or the guy we killed the cow of? Or both?)
23:17:02 < Aki> (The farmer from the tractor, I guess, Baph never specified)
23:17:13 < Ralith> (right.)
23:17:18 < Aki> (Crap. Gotta go. )
23:17:30 <@Baphnedia> (yeah tractor guy)
23:17:39 <@Baphnedia> (good night!)

[21:22] *** Baphnedia changed topic to Game In Progress. You are welcome to watch. If you'd like to join, please /notice Baphnedia, and he will help you do so. This is the official chat of www.paradice.net
[21:22] * Baphnedia gets comfortable
[21:24] <@Baphnedia> To clarify, there were three hunters seen last night.
[21:24] <@Baphnedia> </timespan "?">
[21:25] <@Baphnedia> It is late morning. The guy from the tractor and his two cronies kept following the cliff in the direction of the creek.
[21:25] <Ralith> (er, that was still morningish)
[21:25] <Ralith> (yeah)
[21:25] <@Baphnedia> Aki is resting, and is not showing much interest in two butterflies that are sitting on a log in front of his face.
[21:26] <@Baphnedia> (if I recall correctly, someone brought the deer back to the cave?)
[21:26] <Ralith> (Nope, but let's just pretend Lupin did for our sanity's sake)
[21:27] <@Baphnedia> Darkmoon, you wake up from your slumber.
[21:28] <@Baphnedia> There are branches where the cave entrance once was, and the smell of something good is wafting through the gaps.
[21:29] <@Baphnedia> The familiar smells of several wolves you know are also present.
[21:29] *** Darkmoon quit (EOF from client)
[21:29] <@Baphnedia> (done?)
[21:29] <@Baphnedia> (she's gone - continuing)
[21:30] *** Darkmoon (~chatzilla@*.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net) joined
[21:30] <@Baphnedia> The deer looks tasty, no other scents or noises of humans are in the area. You seem to be alone.
[21:30] <Darkmoon> (uuugggg my interent needs to DIEEE!)
[21:31] <@Baphnedia> (you didn't miss anything)
[21:31] <Darkmoon> (what are ya'll doin?)
[21:32] <@Baphnedia> (I just established that everyone is back at the cave, Aki is looking at butterflies, and there is fresh late-breakfast outside for you.)
[21:33] <Darkmoon> (ok)
[21:34] <@Baphnedia> (shall I assume that everyone eats, or at least Darkmoon eats, and move on?)
[21:34] <Ralith> (sure)
[21:34] <Lupin> (Yeah)
[21:35] <Darkmoon> (ok)
[21:36] <@Baphnedia> A breeze begins to pick up.
[21:36] <@Baphnedia> The clouds in the sky aren't terribly bright, this overcast day looking like it's going to be on the news quite a bit.
[21:36] * Ralith sniffs the air
[21:38] <@Baphnedia> The temperature starts to drop and the clouds turn a greenish hue.
[21:38] * Darkmoon sniffs the air and opens one eye. When she sees the deer her stomach rumbles. While she still is not used to the idea of eating raw meat, she is too hungry to care. She looks at the others sleepily and starts eating.
[21:38] * Lupin looks around at the sky.
[21:40] <@Baphnedia> The breeze picks up to a wind, the clouds rotating slowly, menacingly.
[21:40] * Ralith looks nervous. "Hey, I've read that this sort of thing precedes tornadoes..."
[21:40] * Darkmoon eats faster, feeling tense. She looks at the sky and shdders. She knows what clouds like that mean.
[21:41] <@Baphnedia> A farm house (complete with grain tower) is discernable through the moving branches, on the far side of the highway.
[21:42] <@Baphnedia> The butterflies fly over the cliff.
[21:42] <@Baphnedia> (which isn't as stunning as if they jumped off the cliff.... oh well)
[21:43] <@Baphnedia> Lightning flashes over the farm house, the electric tongue from the sky touching the tip of the grain tower.
[21:43] * Ralith turns to Darkmoon. "You're from around here, aren't you?"
[21:43] <Lupin> "Wow. I hope he has insurance."
[21:44] * Darkmoon jumps at the flash of light and stops eating "yah..."
[21:44] <Ralith> "What's this sort of weather indicate?"
[21:45] <@Baphnedia> (gets the door..bah)
[21:47] * Darkmoon sniffs at the stormy air. "A sever storm, when the sky turns that color it almost always means horrible weather. It wasn't too humid before...but if this cold air is cold enough, and the hot air before was hot enough...welll... there could be a tornado. I don't see any funnel clouds however...yet..."
[21:47] <Darkmoon> "Either way shelter would be a good idea...and I'm not sure that this cave will cut it"
[21:48] <Lupin> "Well, If there is a tornado, there isn't much that would cut it anywa'
[21:48] <Lupin> (y)
[21:48] * Ralith pokes his head inside the cave, trying to estimate how deep it goes
[21:49] <@Baphnedia> maybe ten feet
[21:49] <@Baphnedia> The cave is roomy enough it might fit everyone, but someone is going to be cold and wet
[21:50] <Ralith> "Anyone have a better idea?"
[21:51] <@Baphnedia> With an audible pitter-patter, a wave of rain hits the forest with a definitive splat.
[21:51] <Lupin> "Other than hiding out in someone's barn, not really."
[21:51] <@Baphnedia> Thunder rolls across the sky just before another tounge of lightening licks the grain tower.
[21:52] <Ralith> "If this gets bad enough, it's not like a barn would do us any good..."
[21:52] <@Baphnedia> However, the lightning rod that was really an old TV antenna, did not suck in the charge and send it to ground.
[21:52] <@Baphnedia> Warm, cozy firelight begins to emanate from the grain tower.
[21:53] * Ralith moves into the cave and sits against the back wall
[21:53] * Darkmoon sniffs "Do any of you smell smoke?"
[21:53] <@Baphnedia> Rain pats Aki's head, and he follows Ralith
[21:53] * Lupin follows Aki and Ralith
[21:54] <Lupin> "That last lightning strike probably hit something."
[21:54] <@Baphnedia> Lightening flashes across the sky again.
[21:55] <Lupin> !d20
[21:55] <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 for a total of 17.
[21:55] <Ralith> "How long does this sort of thing take to blow over?"
[21:55] <@Baphnedia> Lupin seems to be the only one with a clear view from the cave.
[21:55] * Lupin looks outside "Well it seems to have come in pretty fast, probably a few hours"
[21:56] * Baphnedia fast forwards a little
[21:57] <@Baphnedia> An obvious funnel has formed far off to the right of the farmhouse. The grain tower there is burning like a giant Olympic Torch.
[21:58] <@Baphnedia> The funnel cloud touches down, to the right of the farm ahead, and begins to pick up grass, fences, cow pies, and all the ugly stuff from the fields and whirls it around.
[21:59] <Ralith> "If that keeps up we won't have to worry about our hunters any more."
[21:59] * Ralith grins
[21:59] <@Baphnedia> The tornado moves inevitably towards the farm, where the grain tower sides fly off, the grain igniting as it takes flight.
[21:59] <Lupin> (Hey, I think I see the cow pie Ralith stepped in earlier!)
[22:00] <Ralith> (*growl*)
[22:00] <Ralith> "Hehe, this isn't such a bad show."
[22:00] * Ralith relaxes and enjoys the sights
[22:01] <@Baphnedia> The tornado misses the tower itself, but the flames erupting from the tower circle around most of the tornado, almost forming a ring of fire(tm).
[22:02] <@Baphnedia> The twister moves on the barn, tearing through the center of it, the livestock were quite obviously stuck inside.
[22:03] <@Baphnedia> The front side of the barn falls to the middle, of it's own accord as the twister begins making short work of an age-old farm house.
[22:03] * Darkmoon ears drop back against her head, she can smell the smoke and hear the screaming of the cattle, and her instincts are going crazy, telling her to run away. Dimmly she also wonders if there are people trapped near this tornado.
[22:03] <@Baphnedia> It occurs to you that the wood of these two buildings probably came from the same forest you're in now...
[22:04] <@Baphnedia> (humans usually have basement/bunkers that they hide in, for general knowledge)
[22:04] * Ralith notices Darkmoon's unrest, and attempts to soothe
[22:04] <Darkmoon> (yah...but that is usually not a good place to be when there is fire)
[22:04] <@Baphnedia> House siding and shingles take flight as the lights go out for the last time from Frederick's Farm.
[22:05] <@Baphnedia> Several of the trees near the tornado are smoldering, the ring of fire continuing to help burn what isn't thrown into the air by the tornado.
[22:05] <Ralith> "Hope that doesn't spread."
[22:06] * Darkmoon whimpers at the thought.
[22:06] <@Baphnedia> The walls themselves don't stand much longer than the siding or shingles, as this twister tears the structure from it's foundation. Sheets and clothes and the like fly up to meet their fiery fate before falling back down to the ground.
[22:07] <@Baphnedia> The frame of the house tumbles onto it's side, and lays rather skewed, that what's left of the structure is barely keeping itself from falling inward completely.
[22:07] <@Baphnedia> The ring of fire goes out, as the grain silo runs out of fuel.
[22:08] <@Baphnedia> The tornado continues it's noisy path of destruction off into the distance.
[22:08] * Lupin watches the fire go out "Well, now all we have to worry about is the debris from the tornado."
[22:08] <Ralith> "Eh, we'll be fine in here."
[22:09] <Darkmoon> (ahhh people = dead...poor people what a horrible way to go...trapped in a basement quickly filling with smoke...suffocating... you can't get out cuz the wall collapsed on top of your cellar..ugg that was my worst fear as a child...)
[22:09] <@Baphnedia> An annoying whine is heard over the tornado. Can't quite place it - but it sounds like it's not coming from the farm.
[22:10] <@Baphnedia> (my god, I'm sorry Darkmoon, I didn't need to put that situation in context...)
[22:10] * Ralith flattens his ears. "What IS that noise?"
[22:10] <@Baphnedia> It's constant - sort of like overpowering your speakers and getting just a LITTLE feedback. But, it's not too loud where you are, but annoying.
[22:11] <Darkmoon> (haha no...i lived in MN my whole life *almost* my worst fear as a child was tornados...i was one form in front of my eyes once...)
[22:11] <Darkmoon> (i saw..not dyslexic...noo not at all)
[22:11] <Lupin> "I don't know but I'm beginning to get a headache."
[22:12] <@Baphnedia> (ahh...)
[22:12] <@Baphnedia> The annoying stops for a minute.
[22:12] * Darkmoon cocks her head to the side, slowly shaking it back and forth, not realizing how silly she looks.
[22:12] <Ralith> "Whew."
[22:13] <@Baphnedia> (wow I can skip entire words and you still know what I'm saying... I should start madlibbing....)
[22:13] <@Baphnedia> (gah)
[22:14] <Darkmoon> "What was that?"
[22:14] <@Baphnedia> The whine starts up again, crescendoing from near silence to full annoying volume. When it was heard before, it could be barely heard over the tornado.
[22:14] <Ralith> (Heh. You get the meaning across; I ddin't even notice anything was gone. My brain filled in the spaces )
[22:14] * Ralith flinches, ears flattened again
[22:14] * Lupin doubles over "AAUGH"
[22:15] * Baphnedia fast forwards the weather
[22:15] * Ralith attempts to block out sound with paws
[22:15] <@Baphnedia> The rain stops, the ground is really wet, but you haven't had to endure this noise for several hours to wait for it to stop.
[22:15] <Ralith> (er, what? the noise is still happening?)
[22:16] <@Baphnedia> It starts, then stops, then starts again, every couple minutes
[22:16] * Darkmoon feels even more nervous than she did during the storm, her eyes are watering from the pain in her head. "What is this!?" She looks at the more experienced werewolves expectantly, hoping that they can explain it.
[22:16] <Ralith> "Ok, we've got to find out what this is. I can't stand it!"
[22:16] <@Baphnedia> (it doesn't hurt that much, so I'd hoped)
[22:17] <@Baphnedia> It is definitely too high for a human to hear.
[22:17] <Ralith> (you're thinking annoying, we're thinking high, screeching, peircing, painful)
[22:17] <Ralith> (disorienting)
[22:17] <@Baphnedia> Crawling out of the cave, the direction of the noise is definitely coming from deeper in the forest.
[22:17] * Darkmoon keeps shaking her head in a silly way, trying to get rid of the sound.
[22:18] <@Baphnedia> (oh, it'll get to that point... don't worry. It really is quite loud. Just not where you are.)
[22:18] * Ralith looks towards the source
[22:19] <@Baphnedia> It is beyond the valley, and at least over the next ridge.
[22:19] * Lupin starts walking towards the source.
[22:20] * Ralith heads towards the ridge, hoping to get a view of what's causing it
[22:20] <Ralith> "Let's see if we can't put a stop to this."
[22:20] <Darkmoon> (is it a tornado siren?...those things are horrible sounding...even for a human)
[22:21] <Ralith> (it's too high for humans, remember?)
[22:21] <@Baphnedia> Far ahead, the sound of helicopters is evident. Eventually, the sound fades off to the right hand side. Every now and then you can see two small black shapes in the air, getting smaller.
[22:21] <Darkmoon> (ahh right, good point)
[22:22] <Ralith> "Huh. I wonder what those're doing around here, especially so soon after that storm. Aircraft normally try to avoid this sort of thing."
[22:23] <@Baphnedia> You crest the next hill, and the full spectrum of the sound hits you. They are klaxons alright, but they don't sound like any tornado sirens that you've ever heard.
[22:24] * Ralith flinches, whimpering slightly as he is hit by the sound
[22:24] <@Baphnedia> There is some light emanating from over the next hill (which by the way, there's another valley and hill)
[22:24] * Ralith tries to get a clear view of the source
[22:25] * Darkmoon growls, widening her eyes and backing away from the sound.
[22:25] * Lupin grabs the top of his muzzle and closes his eyes ."Bizarre. Humans don't usually produce anything that radiates this loudly in a frequency they can't hear"
[22:25] <@Baphnedia> The light itself is halogen-style lighting, giving away that there is still power for the lights and the klaxons.
[22:25] <@Baphnedia> The full sound can indeed be heard by humans. The siren seems to be meant for human ears.
[22:26] <@Baphnedia> There may be some problem with the sirens themselves, being overpowered or something that is producing the high-pitched whine.
[22:27] <Ralith> "Shouldn't the electricity to that place have been knocked out when the tornado hit the power lines?"
[22:27] <@Baphnedia> losing power
[22:27] <@Baphnedia> (me, not the game)
[22:27] <@Baphnedia> (lights are flickering here...)
[22:27] <Lupin> (Oh fun.)
[22:27] <Lupin> "They most likely have back up power."
[22:27] <@Baphnedia> (I'll keep going till I get kicked)
[22:28] <@Baphnedia> The sirens quit, once again.
[22:28] <Ralith> (how long did they stay off last time?)
[22:28] * Darkmoon sighs with relief
[22:28] <@Baphnedia> (about 1 minute)
[22:28] * Lupin sighs and shakes is head. "Though I don't know what would be important enough out here to have sirens and backup power."
[22:29] <@Baphnedia> (my lights have stopped flickering, yay!)
[22:29] * Ralith looks around frantically for something to block out the sound with when it resumes
[22:29] <@Baphnedia> (thanks for telling my energy provider about the concept of backup power... it's working!)
[22:29] <Ralith> "I don't care what it is, we're shutting it down!"
[22:30] <@Baphnedia> The place still seems to be over the next hill.
[22:30] * Darkmoon nods "It's so wierd..In rural areas sirens are worthless...the homes are too far apart for them to alert anyone.."
[22:30] <Lupin> "Well the thing is, if it's important enough to have sirens and backup power, it's important enough to have someone *protecting* it"
[22:31] <Ralith> "Nah, I bet it's just some research building."
[22:31] * Ralith continues searching for something to block out the sound with when it resumes
[22:31] <@Baphnedia> There are leaves on the ground.
[22:31] <@Baphnedia> Not too much help on the forest floor.
[22:32] <@Baphnedia> Leaves, wet leaves.
[22:32] * Darkmoon shudders.."protecting it...with...helicopters?"
[22:32] * Ralith shakes his head, and heads towards the next rise
[22:33] * Ralith gives Darkmoon a questioning glance. "Helicopters?"
[22:33] <Ralith> "Oh, those."
[22:33] <Ralith> "What makes you think they're related?"
[22:33] * Baphnedia has been too nice. The siren starts up again.
[22:34] <Lupin> "Well we're in -- GAAH-- farm country."
[22:34] * Ralith winces
[22:35] <Ralith> "They're likely just some transport that landed for safety during the storm."
[22:35] <Ralith> "Why does this thrice-damned thing keep alternating like that?!"
[22:36] <@Baphnedia> The siren cuts out abruptly. Along with it, so do the lights.
[22:36] * Darkmoon snarls loudly in frustration, pinning her ears back with her paws. "But they were flying away from the structure."
[22:36] <Ralith> "Whew. Hope that doesn't start up again."
[22:37] * Ralith accelerates towards the top of the hill
[22:37] * Darkmoon quickens her pace to keep up, even though she knows that being closer to the sound will only make it worse.
[22:38] * Lupin picks up speed torward the source of the sound "Yeah. Well it's out now."
[22:38] <@Baphnedia> Below the three of you,
[22:39] <@Baphnedia> is a darkened helicopter pad. No birds are on it at this time, though there are a couple of dry shapes in the pavement.
[22:39] <Lupin> "Darkmoon was right. They did take off from here."
[22:39] * Ralith looks around for any other constructions
[22:40] <@Baphnedia> There is a tiny shed in one corner of the pad with a closed door. The sirens were coming from around this pad, from large bullhorns mounted on polls at the corners of the pad.
[22:40] <@Baphnedia> There is a dirt road that leads to closed gate in the fence. The fence itself consists of a lot of razor wire.
[22:41] * Ralith heads down to the gate, which he examines
[22:41] <@Baphnedia> Whoever built this place could get into a lot of trouble with the EPA should some wild animal get stuck.
[22:41] <@Baphnedia> There are two ruts leading up to the gate - now covered by bushes. It looks that ground transportation from here hasn't been used in quite some time.
[22:41] <@Baphnedia> (I'm assuming you are all sticking together?)
[22:41] <Lupin> (Yes)
[22:41] * Ralith examines the gate itself
[22:42] <@Baphnedia> The gate is made of steel, painted with a dull grey paint and lined with lots of razorwire, even along the lengths of the beams and crossbeams.
[22:43] <Ralith> "Seems like an awful lot of security for an out-of-the-way place like this."
[22:43] * Lupin looks through the fence, wonder where the lights he saw earlier came from.
[22:43] <@Baphnedia> It is a heavy gate, without a heavy wall to support it. Excluding the polls that support the gate, the rest of the 'fence' consists of interlacing coils of razor wire.
[22:43] * Darkmoon reluctantly follows, thinking that this is foolish, but not wanting to be left behind. She eyes the razorwire unhappily. " Yah, Looks like they don't want visitors."
[22:43] <Lupin> "Yeah. They really don't want people getting in... or out."
[22:43] <@Baphnedia> On the polls with the bullhorns, there are Halogen(tm) lights.
[22:44] <Ralith> "Now this sort of thing makes me plain curious. I've always wondered where all those conspiracy theories come from."
[22:45] <@Baphnedia> There isn't even a 'no tresspassing' sign, or a sign designating what this place is.
[22:45] * Ralith grins. "So, for me, the only question remaining is, how do we get in?"
[22:46] * Ralith slips a claw into the gap between the gate and the fence, and pulls
[22:46] <Darkmoon> "Whoa...wait..you want to go in!?"
[22:46] <Ralith> "Are you going to let them get away with being that much of a nuisance to us?"
[22:47] <@Baphnedia> The fence is flexible, but snaps back to the gate as soon as you release pressure.
[22:47] <Lupin> "Not really, but they really don't want people getting in."
[22:47] <Ralith> "Besides, don't you wonder what needs such secrecy and security? Now that I think about it, those helicopters didn't look like any standard commercial vehicles."
[22:48] <Lupin> "I wonder, but I also prefer not having bullet wounds."
[22:48] <@Baphnedia> (anyone here have non-commerical backgrounds?)
[22:48] * Ralith releases the fence, and reinserts the claw into the gate itself, jiggling it
[22:48] <Ralith> (nope )
[22:48] <Lupin> (No)
[22:48] <@Baphnedia> The gate rattles lightly, but isn't giving.
[22:49] <Ralith> (I fear we're going to see some terribly accurate millitary descriptions soon )
[22:49] * Ralith pauses, heeding Lupin's words, and sniffs the air
[22:49] <Darkmoon> "well...it's not like they know creatures like us exist..." she swallowed nervously..."right? So it's not like they're intentionally doing it..." she kept trying to persuade them not to go in. "so umm we have nothing to worry about...so lets just go..ok?"
[22:50] <@Baphnedia> The door of the shed (not facing towards the gate) swings open abruptly, to bang against the corner of the shed.
[22:50] * Ralith gives Darkmoon a surprised look. "Aren't you curious in the least?"
[22:50] * Ralith mentally curses to himself, diving into the trees
[22:51] <@Baphnedia> Any sort of doorknob is already missing from the door, a body is tossed out onto the tarmac.
[22:51] * Lupin drops to the ground and hides.
[22:51] <@Baphnedia> It begins to pathetically crawl away.
[22:51] <@Baphnedia> A large hand with some kind of gun extends out from inside the shed.
[22:51] * Ralith positions himself behind a large bush, poking his head above slightly and relying on his natural coloring to keep him hidden as he views the happenings
[22:51] <Darkmoon> Though she wouldn't admit it, Darkmoon was just as curious as the others. But she jumps in fear at the sound and hides with the others.
[22:52] <@Baphnedia> A single, audible BANG is heard and the body stops crawling away from fate.
[22:52] * Ralith flinches at the sudden noise
[22:52] * Ralith thinks, "I wish they'd stop doing that sort of thing. Are they TRYING to piss us off?"
[22:53] * Darkmoon squeaks in fear, clapping her hand over her mouth, eyes darting around, she's crying. She has never seen anyone killed before.
[22:53] * Ralith sniffs the air
[22:53] <@Baphnedia> The sounds of someone climbing some sort of ladder are heard from within the shed.
[22:54] * Ralith cautiously exits his cover, joining Lupin
[22:55] * Lupin tries to position himself to get a better view of what is in the shed.
[22:55] <@Baphnedia> The door to the shed hangs there... there is some debris on the ground under the door. From here it's kind of hard to tell what it was.
[22:55] <Darkmoon> "ohmygodohmygodohmygod" Darkmoon mutters silently to herself, still shocked by what she has seen. She follows the others blindly.
[22:56] <Ralith> (whispered) "Now that's just scary. What is this place?" (rhetorical question)
[22:56] * Ralith listens carefully for any more noises
[22:57] <@Baphnedia> Walking around the perimiter, you can get quite close to the shed.
[22:57] <@Baphnedia> The shed shows no signs of power generation, no means of powering the sirens or the lights that were on before.
[22:57] * Lupin whispers back "Well, whatever it is, you don't get out of it very easily."
[22:58] <Ralith> "Must be one huge underground complex."
[22:58] <@Baphnedia> Under the door, there is a normal door handle, along with bits of wood. It appears that it was shot out at some point, possibly during the storm.
[22:58] <@Baphnedia> *click!* *bzzzzzzz...*
[22:59] <@Baphnedia> The lights begin to power up, they'll be illuminating the helipad once again in the next couple of minutes.
[22:59] <Lupin> "Uh-oh"
[22:59] <Lupin> "If the lights are on..."
[22:59] <Darkmoon> "then the sound..."
[23:00] * Ralith dashes away
[23:00] * Lupin runs for the saftey of the forrest as well.
[23:01] <@Baphnedia> (I'm assuming Darkmoon follows?)
[23:01] <Darkmoon> After a moment of hesitation Darkmoon runs after them
[23:01] * Ralith drops to all fours, determined to put as much distance between him and the building as possible
[23:02] <@Baphnedia> The forest provides all kinds of protection against many things.
[23:02] <@Baphnedia> (are you running in the direction of the cave - or somewhere else?)
[23:02] <Lupin> (Right now I'm just running away from the pad.)
[23:02] <Ralith> (same; just dashed AWAY)
[23:03] <@Baphnedia> Even at the distance you've run, you hear the siren warming up, followed by a *click* *pop* none too different than someone hanging up a telephone.
[23:03] <@Baphnedia> !d8
[23:03] <Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d8 for a total of 2.
[23:03] * Ralith dives behind a boulder
[23:03] <@Baphnedia> The birds begin to twitter after a startled silence and observing new company
[23:03] * Lupin positions himself behind a tree, and covers his ears hands his hands.
[23:04] * Darkmoon looks around for cover, and braces herself against a tree trunk
[23:04] <@Baphnedia> The silence, is booming.
[23:04] * Ralith curls up, preparing for the worst
[23:05] * Ralith holds the position for a few moments, then pokes his head up
[23:05] <Ralith> "Uh... it's not starting?"
[23:05] <Lupin> "...huh. It isn't."
[23:06] * Darkmoon darts a quick glance at her companions before poking her head out from behind the tree.
[23:06] <@Baphnedia> The forest is still relatively silent.
[23:07] * Ralith cautiosly heads back
[23:07] <@Baphnedia> The lights illuminate the helipad.
[23:07] * Lupin is careful to stay out of the area illuminated by the lights.
[23:07] <@Baphnedia> Except for the body, everything else is the same as before.
[23:08] <@Baphnedia> It is day out, btw.
[23:08] <Lupin> (Then what are the lights for?)
[23:09] * Darkmoon follows them
[23:09] * Ralith approaches as close as he can get while remaining out of the brighter circle of illumination, and tries to get a good look at the body
[23:10] <@Baphnedia> The body is of an older human male.
[23:10] <@Baphnedia> Balding, with a circlet of light brown hair, now rather bloody.
[23:10] <@Baphnedia> He is dressed in shoes, slacks, and a white surcoat.
[23:11] <Ralith> "Huh. I wonder what he did to get killed."
[23:11] * Darkmoon nods. Rrather than be disgusted by the body, she is now angry, and curious.
[23:12] * Lupin sniffs the air. "Yeah."
[23:12] <@Baphnedia> The fence looks as forgiving as it was before.
[23:13] * Ralith cocks his ears forward, listening carefully for any movement
[23:13] <Darkmoon> "Something about this feels very...wrong. " Darkmoon mutters
[23:14] <@Baphnedia> (Aaand Area 51 thought that they were ALL THAT and a bag of chips... ball's in your court)
[23:15] <Ralith> (Am I going to get any sound info?)
[23:15] <@Baphnedia> (sound? the loudspeakers are off.)
[23:15] <Ralith> (*points to his earlier listening action*)
[23:15] <Ralith> (What do I hear?)
[23:16] <@Baphnedia> (oh, whoops... you hear the sounds of the forest, and the light hum of the lights. There must be something blocking any noise coming from inside the shed.)
[23:17] * Ralith returns to his earlier position at the fence, this time inserting his full set of claws and pulling hard, attempting to bend it out of place
[23:18] <Lupin> (I'm going to go get a soda, AFK for a bit.)
[23:18] <@Baphnedia> (roll a d20 for strength)
[23:18] <Ralith> !d20
[23:18] <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 for a total of 14.
[23:18] <@Baphnedia> !d20
[23:18] <Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 13.
[23:18] * Darkmoon shifts her weight from paw to paw uncomfortably, before inserting her claws and adding her strength to Ralith
[23:18] <@Baphnedia> (roll Darkmoon)
[23:18] <@Baphnedia> (cya when ya get back Lupin!)
[23:18] <Darkmoon> (eep i forget how!)
[23:19] <Ralith> (just like we did just now )
[23:19] <Darkmoon> !d20
[23:19] <Lycaon> Darkmoon rolled d20 for a total of 14.
[23:19] <Ralith> (14 for the win)
[23:19] <@Baphnedia> (28 vs 13+x, a winning combination for the visiting team)
[23:20] <@Baphnedia> The razorwire fence buckles and breaks away from the riveted points on the gate.
[23:20] * Ralith grins
[23:21] <@Baphnedia> The fence looks like it isn't new. It hasn't been touched up or anything in years.
[23:21] * Ralith glances back at Darkmoon, then moves into the enclosure, and begins to search the body
[23:21] <@Baphnedia> The man was shot in the back of the head, execution style.
[23:21] * Ralith goes through his pockets
[23:21] * Darkmoon wrinkles her nose at the smell of blood
[23:22] <Ralith> "If we're lucky, he'll have some ID on him..."
[23:22] <@Baphnedia> In his pockets, you find his wallet. Walter Sommers reads his name on a scan/ID card.
[23:22] * Ralith gives the card a quizzical look. "Odd. Doesn't look like any driver's license I've ever seen."
[23:22] <@Baphnedia> There is no money in his wallet, but pictures of him and his presumed family.
[23:22] <@Baphnedia> The ID card has a magnetic strip and a gold chip in it.
[23:23] * Ralith passes it to Darkmoon. "Ever seen something like this before?"
[23:23] <@Baphnedia> He has three sons, one of whom you recognize as the farmer from the tractor.
[23:23] <Ralith> "Looks like he's a local."
[23:23] <Lupin> "Ooh, smart card"
[23:24] <Lupin> (Okay now I'm really going)
[23:24] * Darkmoon looks at the card shaking her head. "Hehe..maybe in a Sci fi movie..."
[23:24] <Ralith> (bah, hurry back Lupin )
[23:24] <@Baphnedia> He has a miscellaneous nametag, with the same name on it.
[23:24] * Ralith rolls his eyes
[23:24] * Ralith grabs the card back. "That's a lot of help."
[23:25] <Darkmoon> (hey...wouldn't there totally be security cameras out here..I mean, if this place is so well guarded...)
[23:25] <@Baphnedia> The light from the tarmac shines into the shed a bit. All the shed features is a manhole with a ladder leading down.
[23:25] <@Baphnedia> (roll a kind of search check)
[23:25] * Ralith flips the card over, looking for any details on the back
[23:25] <Ralith> (which of us?)
[23:26] <@Baphnedia> (Darkmoon)
[23:26] <@Baphnedia> The card has a funny barcode looking thing.
[23:26] <Darkmoon> !d20
[23:26] <Lycaon> Darkmoon rolled d20 for a total of 10.
[23:26] <@Baphnedia> Darkmoon, you don't see any cameras.
[23:27] <@Baphnedia> Kind of like a UPC barcode, but a bit skewed... might be fun to scan this at the supermarket.
[23:27] * Ralith goes to slip it into a pocket, then remembers that he's 'naked'. 'Some habits never die...'
[23:28] * Ralith stands, then approaches the shed, examining it in detail
[23:28] <@Baphnedia> Except for covering the manhole, the shed seems to have no purpose.
[23:28] <@Baphnedia> There is a fire extinguisher sitting next to a small metal pail in the corner.
[23:29] * Darkmoon laughs quietly, moving past the body to poke the manhole cover curiously.
[23:29] <Lupin> (Back)
[23:29] <@Baphnedia> (there is no cover to the manhole)
[23:30] * Ralith follows Darkmoon inside, peering down the ladder.
[23:30] <Darkmoon> (oo oook)
[23:30] <@Baphnedia> Whoever built the place probably lost it, so they built a shed instead of getting another manhole cover. Common sense loses again.
[23:30] <Lupin> (How do you lose a manhole cover? )
[23:31] <Ralith> ("...peering down the ladder.", Baphnedia.)
[23:31] * Darkmoon laughs again, looking down. " If curiosity kills the cat, what does it do to the wolf?"
[23:31] <@Baphnedia> There is no light emanating from the hole.
[23:32] <@Baphnedia> The hole seems to suck all light into it.
[23:32] * Lupin looks at the pail and fire extinguisher
[23:32] * Ralith looks surprised.
[23:32] <@Baphnedia> The pail is filled with a viscous (Vilkacis?) liquid. It is labeled 'Dirty Oil'
[23:32] <Ralith> "Hey, can either of you see anything down here?"
[23:33] * Lupin looks down the hole "Nope."
[23:33] <@Baphnedia> Direct light might be needed.
[23:34] <Ralith> "Odd. There should be enough light even just reflecting down there..."
[23:34] * Ralith examines the roof of the shed
[23:35] <@Baphnedia> There is a light bulb hanging just below the ceiling. The pull cord is short (a couple inches) but should be enough to turn on.
[23:35] <Ralith> (Hehe, I had something a little more destructive in mind, but that'll do.)
[23:35] * Ralith yanks the cord
[23:35] <@Baphnedia> A dull lightbulb pops to life. The light showing the metal ladder leading down to a very small room. A metal door is in the room.
[23:36] * Ralith looks to Lupin
[23:37] <@Baphnedia> To the right of the door is a small display, complete with a camera.
[23:37] <Ralith> (btw, it'd be convenient for me if we came to a place to pause for the night, so if any of you also need to go soon...)
[23:37] <Ralith> "Well, I'm not going down there like this. Whoever runs this place has shown they're more than willing to use firepower."
[23:37] <Ralith> "And we don't exactly look friendly..."
[23:38] <Lupin> "Yeah. And they're going to know we're coming"
[23:38] <Ralith> "So just how badly do we want to get in here?"
[23:39] <@Baphnedia> (we'll know exactly how badly next time, if now is a good time to quit for the night)
[23:39] <Ralith> (what do you two say?)
[23:39] <Darkmoon> (good idea)
[23:39] <Lupin> (Now is fine)
[23:39] * Baphnedia desperately hangs onto the suspense
[23:39] <Ralith> (hehe. Alright, see you all t'morrow)
[23:39] <Darkmoon> (wants to know what is down there)
[23:39] <Darkmoon> (will ya'll be here tomorrow?)
[23:40] <Ralith> (yup)
[23:40] *** Baphnedia changed topic to No game in progress. Keep it clean. Keep it Civil. Keep it Sane? Two of these rules are from DND3E. This is the official chat for www.paradice.net
[23:40] <Lupin> (Yeah)
[23:40] <@Baphnedia> (yeah)

[14:33] <@Baphnedia> Ralith gets the grab, a claw to the wolf's throat. He is holding a gun to your head. "You might kill me with that claw. I will kill you with this gun." He snarls.
[14:33] <Ralith> (whee, this is one fscked up standoff)
[14:34] * Ralith chooses to ignore, for the time being, the threat to his life. "What is this place?"
[14:34] * Darkmoon dashes behind Ralith and stops dead. She growls angrily as her desire to protect her pack mate surfaces.
[14:35] <@Baphnedia> "Now it gets interesting." Growls the wolf. "AROOO!"
[14:35] <@Baphnedia> "I'm glad you have friends."
[14:36] * Ralith snarls, clamping a hand around the wolf's muzzle
[14:36] <@Baphnedia> "I have friends too. Friends don't let friends die."
[14:36] <@Baphnedia> muffles the wolf.
[14:36] <Ralith> (wow, he's good at speaking through his nose)
[14:36] <Lupin> (Heh)
[14:36] <@Baphnedia> (I love your timing .... hehe)
[14:36] <Ralith> "Let's get out of here."
[14:36] <@Baphnedia> Various howls can be heard down the hallway.
[14:36] * Ralith runs out of the passage, dragging the unknown with him
[14:37] * Lupin follows Ralith
[14:37] <@Baphnedia> The wolf grabs Ralith's Arm
[14:37] <@Baphnedia> !d20
[14:37] <Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 7.
[14:37] <@Baphnedia> Not too well...
[14:37] <Ralith> ( )
[14:37] <Ralith> "Give me a hand getting him up the ladder!"
[14:38] <@Baphnedia> "HALT!"
[14:38] <Lupin> (Which end are you dragging?)
[14:38] * Ralith shifts his hold around the uknown's throat to a more sturdy grip, and starts to climb as fast as he can
[14:38] <Ralith> (the top)
[14:38] <@Baphnedia> "Or I will shot you!"
[14:38] * Darkmoon looks over her shoulder
[14:38] * Lupin grabs the wolf's legs and starts pushing.
[14:38] <Ralith> (how far up are me and Lupin? )
[14:38] <@Baphnedia> (you ran away a second ago - implying that you let go of the wolf)
[14:38] <Ralith> (I mentioned that I dragged him along :+ )
[14:38] <Ralith> ( * )
[14:39] <@Baphnedia> (arg)
[14:39] <@Baphnedia> (as an administrative note, you're doing all this with a gun pointed at your head?)
[14:40] <Darkmoon> (yah i was wondering that)
[14:40] <Ralith> (I started running rather suddenly, and he did that faliling grab; I presume he at least lost it's aim, if not the gun entirely)
[14:40] <Ralith> (flailing*)
[14:41] <Ralith> (I'm relying on him not expecting sudden motion.)
[14:41] <@Baphnedia> (erm... you started running, while dragging him along, with a gun to your head... some of this really isn't adding up)
[14:41] <Ralith> (Hey, if someone grabbed me around the neck and started dragging me, I'd have a hard time holding a gun to their head.)
[14:41] <@Baphnedia> A loud clang from outside draws your attention away from the wolf.
[14:42] <Ralith> (so how far up the ladder are me and Lupin? )
[14:42] <@Baphnedia> (So would I, I would've shot them by now)
[14:42] <Ralith> (well, he didn't. )
[14:42] <@Baphnedia> There is something covering the manhole.
[14:42] <Lupin> "Oh s***."
[14:42] <Ralith> "s***!"
[14:42] * Ralith slams his shoulder against it
[14:42] <@Baphnedia> In the relative darkness, you can hear the breaths of several others.
[14:42] <@Baphnedia> The manhole cover and whatever is on top of it don't budge.
[14:43] <@Baphnedia> Your shoulder is sore.
[14:43] <@Baphnedia> A booming voice echoes from down the hallway.
[14:43] <@Baphnedia> "WELCOME STRANGERS."
[14:44] <@Baphnedia> The wolf in Ralith's grip relaxes.
[14:44] * Darkmoon flattens herself against the wall, hiding in the pure darknes between two pipes. She hopes that her strange black/silvertipped fur will blend her in perfectly with the shadows.
[14:45] <@Baphnedia> Several wolves can be clearly seen in the dim light, one of them a muscular grey wolf.
[14:45] * Ralith wraps one arm around a rung of the ladder, shifting a claw of the other back to his hostage's throat.
[14:45] <Ralith> "What is this place?"
[14:45] <@Baphnedia> The hostage is visibly relaxed.
[14:45] * Darkmoon does not trust any of these others, and she watches the scene from her hiding spot.
[14:45] <@Baphnedia> "You came to my home. My coven. I will ask questions first." He looks to Ralith to see if he is understood.
[14:46] * Ralith snarls, but remains silent
[14:46] <@Baphnedia> "Good."
[14:46] <@Baphnedia> An eerie silence stretchs.
[14:47] <@Baphnedia> "Odd, you don't smell familiar. Join me for some coffee?"
[14:47] <@Baphnedia> The wolf smiles, "There is obviously a lot to talk about."
[14:47] * Ralith nudges Lupin and cautiosly climbs down again.
[14:47] * Lupin climbs down as well. "Fine."
[14:48] <@Baphnedia> The grey wolf whispers to one of his associates and the associate whispers back.
[14:48] * Ralith cocks his ears forward
[14:48] <@Baphnedia> "If you will all please follow me, and don't mind the armed escort - you are still holding onto D3257.
[14:49] <@Baphnedia> Would you mind letting him go?"
[14:49] * Ralith looks to Lupin
[14:49] <Aki> "....D3257? Thats a .....odd name."
[14:49] * Darkmoon stays flattened against the wall, and her ears prick up when the wolf calls his partner by a number rather than a name.
[14:49] * Lupin slowly lets down his legs. "D3257? Is that a name, or a title?"
[14:50] <@Baphnedia> We'd rather think of it as our new names. I'm A627, the eldest surviving member."
[14:50] <Ralith> "Member? Of what? And what's with the numbers, and the crazy security?"
[14:51] * Darkmoon eyes continue to get wider at this strangeness, something about these wolves feels wrong to her.
[14:51] <@Baphnedia> "Oh, and welcome to NORAD Silo 17. All hell's broken loose down here."
[14:52] * Lupin looks around at the pipes and thinks to himself "No s***."
[14:52] * Ralith sighs and lets go of his captive, realising that it's not doing them any good, and their captors don't seem to have any immidiate agressive intent. "Just tell us what's going on."
[14:52] <@Baphnedia> "We'll sit at a table and talk about what's going on in more detail. I don't know we're being monitored right now.:
[14:52] <@Baphnedia> "
[14:53] <Ralith> (what? He doesn't know if we are being monitored?)
[14:54] <@Baphnedia> Short version - Murphy's Law went into effect. We destroyed the opening mechanisms for one of the silos to save a few lousy lives. In repayment for our efforts, we're killed left and right. But, a bloody hallway isn't the best place to speak of such things."
[14:55] <Ralith> "You stopped an ICBM launch?"
[14:55] * Darkmoon squishes herself back even closer to the wall, she feels nervous at the strange behavior of these wolves (ugg i gotta go eat lunch i'll bb very soon. For all intensive purposes, I'm still hidden... I'll catch up when i get back)
[14:55] <@Baphnedia> The captured guard looks at A627. He is promtly told to resume his post. "D3257, your restraint proved to be very good, let us hope that it does not fail you."
[14:55] <@Baphnedia> (sounds good)
[14:55] <@Baphnedia> "Temporarily, yes."
[14:56] <Ralith> "There isn't even a war on. Why would someone be trying to launch an ICBM? And what do you mean by temporarily?"
[14:57] <@Baphnedia> "Let us speak in a safer place." A627 turns around and begins leading a procession to an elevator, ahead.
[14:57] * Ralith gives the wolf a quizzical look, but follows.
[14:57] * Lupin follows, still glancing around the hallway.
[14:57] <@Baphnedia> "Please pardon the lighting. We can see a lot better than 'they' can.
[14:58] <Lupin> "The lighting is fine."
[14:58] <@Baphnedia> The elevator is a large service platform, big enough to fight a two car garage on.
[14:58] <@Baphnedia> Blood stains, bullet holes, claw marks, and burn marks litter this hallway.
[14:58] * Ralith relaxes, seeing that despite the initial happenings, their host seems friendly enough.
[14:59] <@Baphnedia> The elevator doors open. The procession goes in first.
[15:00] * Ralith follows
[15:00] * Lupin gets in the elevator as well.
[15:00] * Aki is apprehensive of the marks on the hallway walls, but follows
[15:01] <@Baphnedia> The elevator grates/doors close on one side, and the elevator starts slowly moving down.
[15:01] <@Baphnedia> One of the associates holds up a small hand-held radio. "Stop us at level 7."
[15:03] <@Baphnedia> A627 continues, "We control the elevator shafts, the entrance, and the first seven levels. However, we don't have any armories or other permanent supplies of weapons save our claws."
[15:03] <Ralith> "This still isn't making any sense to me.
[15:03] <Ralith> "
[15:03] <Aki> "Or me..."
[15:03] <Ralith> "Who are you all, and where are you from?"
[15:05] <@Baphnedia> One of them answers,
[15:06] <@Baphnedia> "In all seriousness, all we have is our designations. We were constantly being tested in one form or another. Tell me something, how long have you been werewolves?"
[15:06] <Ralith> "I was born."
[15:06] <@Baphnedia> He hangs his head a little, "the time of testing came to an end, where increasingly lethal tests were being used against us."
[15:07] <Darkmoon> (I'm back)
[15:07] <@Baphnedia> "The implications of those three words are going to haunt me tonight. All the records we could recover from here only date back a few years."
[15:08] <@Baphnedia> (wb darkmoon)
[15:08] <Aki> (wb)
[15:08] <Ralith> "You're saying you were /created/?
[15:08] <Ralith> "
[15:08] <Lupin> "I was born as well. It made puberty all kinds of confusing"
[15:09] * Aki counts off on his figners.. "I've been one for seven years, give or take...."
[15:09] * Ralith grimices in memory
[15:09] <Ralith> (grimaces*)
[15:09] <@Baphnedia> "How have you been one for seven years?"
[15:10] <Lupin> "It can be transfred two ways."
[15:10] <Lupin> "Either from your parents, or someone can bite you."
[15:11] <@Baphnedia> "We've observed the biting method ourselves. Some of us don't speak a lot of English yet - since it seems that we come from all over the world."
[15:12] <Ralith> (how slow is this elevator?)
[15:12] <Lupin> "If you don't mind me asking, how many of you are there here?"
[15:13] <@Baphnedia> "We'll answer that in a safe place."
[15:13] <@Baphnedia> The associate's radio crackles.
[15:14] <@Baphnedia> "There is a girl up here somewhere. I can still smell her."
[15:15] <@Baphnedia> The associate responds, "Fine. Unless she approaches you, just stay wary, we have eyes on the situation now."
[15:15] * Ralith glances at Lupin. "Hey, where'd Darkmoon get to?"
[15:16] <Lupin> "She was with us in the hallway, but she dissappeard after we made a break for it."
[15:17] <@Baphnedia> The associate asks, "Is she one of yours?"
[15:18] <Ralith> "We just ran into her a few hours ago; she only just hit her change, and she wasn't prepared. She got seperated from her parents somehow, and had no idea what she was..."
[15:18] * Darkmoon slides out of her hiding place, which is slightly behind D3257 when she hears the radio
[15:19] <Ralith> "By the way, if you don't have any weapons... where'd that gun the guard have come from?"
[15:19] * Baphnedia gets swamped by IMs (Nooo!)
[15:21] <Lupin> "He just said they don't have a permanent suply"
[15:21] <Ralith> "Oh, right."
[15:22] * Darkmoon snarls softly to get his attention
[15:22] <@Baphnedia> "Bullets are kinda expensive - we usually pay for them with blood." The nice bit is that the helicopter crews should be back with more supplies from the US Army."
[15:22] <Ralith> "Wait, who's fighting who here?"
[15:22] <@Baphnedia> -!- "Where are you?!"
[15:24] <Darkmoon> (where am i?)
[15:24] <Lupin> (Hallway)
[15:24] <Ralith> (behind him squished between some pipes)
[15:24] <Lupin> (We seem to be in a very slow elevator)
[15:24] <Darkmoon> (noo i meant...is he talking to me?)
[15:25] <@Baphnedia> (yes)
[15:26] <Darkmoon> (well I said I slid out behind him..so he should be able to turn around and see me)
[15:27] <@Baphnedia> (the elevator arrives)
[15:27] <Ralith> "Great. Now can you explain what's going on here?"
[15:27] <@Baphnedia> The guard turns around flustered. "What do you want?!"
[15:27] <@Baphnedia> "If you'll follow me, friend, to the cafeteria."
[15:28] <@Baphnedia> (I need to be /noticing darkmoon)
[15:28] <Ralith> (can you keep Darkmoon's bit to notice)
[15:28] <Ralith> (good)
[15:28] * Baphnedia pokes darkmoon
[15:28] * Ralith is surprised at being addressed as friend after the earlier incident, and follows
[15:28] <@Baphnedia> The elevator doors open to a lit hallway.
[15:28] <Darkmoon> (is poked)
[15:29] * Aki follows a bit faster at the mention of a cafeteria, and thus, possible food...
[15:29] <@Baphnedia> A proud "Level 6" displays itself in red lettering on the far wall. The procession takes a left.
[15:29] * Lupin follows along with the procession, since he has no idea where he's going.
[15:30] <Darkmoon> (what do i do?)
[15:30] <@Baphnedia> (/noticed)
[15:31] <@Baphnedia> The procession then takes a right into a large room with tables, a fountain drink machine, and cafeteria music playing softly.
[15:31] <Darkmoon> (feels foolish..so how do I send one back?)
[15:31] <Lupin> (/notice nick stuff)
[15:31] <@Baphnedia> (/notice Baphnedia <type message>)
[15:32] * Baphnedia checks on the launwet.
[15:32] -Darkmoon- Darkmoon shakes her head, "where are my friends?"
[15:33] * Baphnedia notices that the launwet still isn't dry.
[15:34] <@Baphnedia> With a sigh of relief, A627 sits down and beckons all to take a seat.
[15:34] * Ralith obeys
[15:35] * Lupin sits
[15:35] -Darkmoon- Darkmoon nods akwardly. She reaches the elevator and pushes the button.
[15:35] <@Baphnedia> The elevator starts to go up. You can hear the doors slam shut from the cafeteria.
[15:35] * Aki takes a seat
[15:36] <Ralith> "Just explain things from the start."
[15:36] <@Baphnedia> "I've never really gotten to tell this story before, since you are the first outsiders to my pack that I haven't killed."
[15:36] <Ralith> (whee, flashback time!)
[15:36] <Ralith> "Flattered."
[15:36] <@Baphnedia> (oh my fingers are gonna kill you for all this typing! Gah! Death By Text!)
[15:36] -Darkmoon- Darkmoon hears the elevator comming up
[15:36] <Ralith> no they're not, they're too tired to kill me
[15:37] <Ralith> (er, put that in parenthesis)
[15:37] <@Baphnedia> (hehe)
[15:37] <@Baphnedia> (everything considered storytime... not using quotations much.
[15:37] <@Baphnedia> )
[15:38] -Darkmoon- When the doors open, Darkmoon steps cautiously in and tells it to go to level 6
[15:38] <@Baphnedia> We were an experiment, begun some years ago to redefine the idea of a 'Soldier'.
[15:38] <@Baphnedia> The Army had a lot of interest in the project.
[15:38] <@Baphnedia> But, thousands of test subjects died.
[15:39] <@Baphnedia> They couldn't get the mix right.
[15:39] <@Baphnedia> They finally get it right - then they realize, 'oooh! They have a natural resistance to radiation!'
[15:39] -Darkmoon- Darkmoon waits impatiently for the elevator to go down
[15:40] <@Baphnedia> (The elevator stops, the doors open).
[15:41] <@Baphnedia> So, to keep the lid on what they're doing, they start moving the research facilities all over the Dept of Defense
[15:42] <@Baphnedia> Any facility that was out of the way, already invisible, etc, was a candidate, especially if nuclear materials were stored or used there.
[15:42] * Darkmoon steps out of the elevator, sniffing, her ears standing straight up to pick up any sounds that might indicate the others presence.
[15:42] <@Baphnedia> In hopes of creating a fusion between intelligent security forces and workers that could live around Uranium.
[15:42] <@Baphnedia> (the scent of the others leads to the left)
[15:43] <@Baphnedia> Knock out two birds with one stone. There was just one problem. The forumula required a lot of additional testing.
[15:43] <@Baphnedia> So, they began to ferry folks who could 'afford' to disappear to these testing sites. This silo is not one of those testing sites.
[15:44] <@Baphnedia> Illegal aliens, things of that sort.
[15:44] * Darkmoon follows the left hallway. She stops in the doorway and catches the last part of the conversation...
[15:44] <@Baphnedia> As for us, many of us are ex military that was 'hired' by the Defense Contractor...
[15:44] <@Baphnedia> Ah. Hi.
[15:44] <@Baphnedia> Please have a seat.
[15:45] <@Baphnedia> (he is indicating to Darkmoon, btw)
[15:46] * Darkmoon jumps when A627 addresses her, she remains standing in the doorway, her arms crossed.
[15:47] <Ralith> "So why don't you have names?"
[15:47] <@Baphnedia> A627 sighs.
[15:47] <@Baphnedia> Well, the lot of us here were 'hired'. Ex-military, in many cases. But, all we know of our former lives is whatever we wrote on our resumes.
[15:48] <@Baphnedia> Whereas while we were captive here, we referred to, by these designations.
[15:48] <Ralith> "You lost your memories?"
[15:48] <@Baphnedia> Yep.
[15:49] <@Baphnedia> That's why I was so curious as to how long you've been werewolves.
[15:49] <@Baphnedia> So far as we can tell, we only have five to six years of memories.
[15:49] <Ralith> "This doesn't make any sense. You say the military created you completely..."
[15:49] <@Baphnedia> No. I didn't say that. The military changed us.
[15:50] <Ralith> "Right."
[15:50] <Lupin> "This makes me wonder if the military knows about us."
[15:50] <@Baphnedia> A lot of us are ex-military, retirees if you will.
[15:50] <@Baphnedia> We wanted to stay in the defense business, and were all top cookies in our old fields, whatever they were.
[15:50] <@Baphnedia> A mix of a lot of war vets.
[15:50] <Ralith> "I mean, that would indicate that we're completely independant; I know for sure that we've been around for hundreds of years."
[15:50] <Ralith> "Hey, can you shift?"
[15:51] <@Baphnedia> This company, Lica Corp took us in.
[15:51] <Lupin> "'Oh hey, let's make wolfmen' doesn't exactly sound like something you'd hear at a meeting."
[15:51] <Ralith> "There's that too."
[15:51] <@Baphnedia> We had to go through a '
[15:51] <@Baphnedia> (whooops)
[15:52] <@Baphnedia> The first memories we have ourselves are here. Yes, we can shift.
[15:52] <@Baphnedia> Did you see a couple helicopters fly out this morning?
[15:52] <Ralith> "Yeah."
[15:52] <@Baphnedia> Those are all members of my pack, shifted back in human form.
[15:52] <Ralith> "I thought you lost your memories?"
[15:53] <@Baphnedia> We can shift back to what we once looked like, and we have the same skills we had before.
[15:53] <@Baphnedia> So far as we can tell.
[15:53] <Lupin> "But the specifics are gone?"
[15:53] <@Baphnedia> People, places, times. Anything like that is gone.
[15:54] <@Baphnedia> My guys are going on a supply run. They'll be back. We have all the right documentation - and being from where we are - the armories don't ask questions.
[15:54] <Lupin> "And the sirens? We could hear them from several miles away. That's why we came snooping."
[15:55] * Ralith takes a closer look at A627, trying to discern any blatant physical differebces.
[15:55] <Ralith> (differences*)
[15:55] <@Baphnedia> Yeah. I'm releived to say that the sirens are no longer necesary for a little while.
[15:55] <Ralith> "What were they for?"
[15:55] <@Baphnedia> Oh, that was simply the imminent launch warnings.
[15:56] <@Baphnedia> When I said that we shut down the doors, that was this morning.
[15:56] <Lupin> "Simply. heh."
[15:57] <Ralith> "Which reminds me. Why was someone trying to launch an ICBM in the middle of peacetime?"
[15:57] <@Baphnedia> Yeah. It isn't going to last long.
[15:57] <@Baphnedia> Oh, to ensure the continuation of a select few.
[15:57] <@Baphnedia> We think.
[15:57] <Ralith> "Huh?"
[15:57] <Lupin> "Few what?"
[15:57] <Ralith> "Now I'm just lost. Help someone survive by blowing someone up?"
[15:58] <@Baphnedia> At the same time thousands of us (the few of us that were hired by Lica Corp and the rest illegal aliens), we think there was another group being inoculated for something else.
[15:58] <@Baphnedia> The ICBMs were converted from a nuclear paylod to a biological paylod.
[15:59] <@Baphnedia> The non-FDA Approved 'Anthrax Vaccine' that Capitol Hill and some members of the military got wasn't for Anthrax.
[15:59] <@Baphnedia> It's for whatever the hell is inside that ICBM.
[16:00] <@Baphnedia> The theory is, launch the ICBM (blame it on some technical error - god knows that happened often enough in the Cold War), and the Earth is 'cleansed' of humanity.
[16:00] * Ralith is speechless
[16:01] <Aki> ".....lovely...so how do we stop it?"
[16:01] <Lupin> "..."
[16:01] <@Baphnedia> The great thing about it is that the world population of humans drops from several billion to under one million.
[16:01] <@Baphnedia> Most other forms of life will be unaffected. When the virus runs out of food - it dies off.
[16:02] * Darkmoon blinks in shock and confusion
[16:02] <Ralith> "You know... that might not actually be such a bad thing, now that I think about it."
[16:02] <@Baphnedia> Keeping the ICBM here, and keeping that group of wackos stuck downstairs. If they finish bypassing the conrol stations up here, they can launch the missle with the doors closed.
[16:03] <@Baphnedia> Except the fact that you haven't been given the vaccine, neither have we.
[16:03] <Ralith> "Though I can't say I trust the higher-ups who have it
[16:03] <@Baphnedia> We 'might' die with the rest of humanity, or we might not.
[16:03] <Ralith> "Do I look human to you?"
[16:03] <@Baphnedia> A627 shifts to human.
[16:03] <Lupin> "I'd prefer not to see if I'm immune to it"
[16:03] <Ralith> "I admit I don't exactly want to test that with my life..."
[16:03] <@Baphnedia> "Do I look human to you?"
[16:04] <Ralith> "Point taken. So if we remained in lupine form for the duration of the virus...?
[16:04] <Ralith> "
[16:04] <@Baphnedia> He is a stocky bald man with a hard expression on his face.
[16:04] <@Baphnedia> A627 shifts back.
[16:04] <Darkmoon> (one tf per day?)
[16:04] <@Baphnedia> I don't know.
[16:04] <@Baphnedia> (oh - Monday y'all get two)
[16:05] <@Baphnedia> (eventually you'll have so many you won't know what to do with them all)
[16:05] <Ralith> "As far as I know, we're biologically identical to our form."
[16:05] <Ralith> (oh, they stack?)
[16:05] <@Baphnedia> (yep)
[16:05] <Ralith> (ahh.)
[16:06] <@Baphnedia> We can hope. So, who wants to roll those dice?
[16:06] <Ralith> (by the way, what came of my checking for discrepancies between our forms?)
[16:06] <@Baphnedia> (oooh wait Ralith... no. They don't stack when you don't use them... you justget awarded more)
[16:06] <Ralith> (huh?)
[16:06] <@Baphnedia> (a full werewolf, nothing off at all)
[16:07] <@Baphnedia> Anyway, you asked how many of us there are.
[16:07] <Ralith> "I suppose it would need to be tested. Let's leave that for a moment. Who are these wackos you referred to earlier?"
[16:07] <Ralith> (just finish what you were going to say, and answer me after)
[16:08] <@Baphnedia> The wackos are part of a supremacy group - that infiltrated the right parts of the military.
[16:08] <@Baphnedia> They are the cloak and dagger in the shadows, partially responsible for the gas prices, and many other things.
[16:08] <Ralith> (or not)
[16:08] * Baphnedia conspires
[16:09] <@Baphnedia> They aren't the KKK, they're something more subtle than that.
[16:09] <Ralith> "So why's this in the same facility as you all?"
[16:09] <@Baphnedia> As for how many of us we have - we're down in our numbers to about 15. I'm not including the group that went on the supply run until they get back.
[16:10] <Darkmoon> "But..who would want most of humaity gone? I mean, humans are a huge network, take all that away and what is left would be fored to return to primitve lifestyles."
[16:10] * Ralith glances to Darkmoon. "Something wrong with that?"
[16:10] <@Baphnedia> Maybe. I don't know all the answers.
[16:10] <Ralith> (er, who's that responding to?)
[16:10] <@Baphnedia> That might be where we weres fit in.
[16:10] <@Baphnedia> (ralith)
[16:11] <Lupin> "Well I do kind kinda like eating every day, Ralith"
[16:12] <Ralith> "Yeah? We'd get along fine without humanity in the way. We've done perfectly well hunting for ourselves today, and in the past, and without humans decimating the population..."
[16:12] * Ralith turns back to A627. "So you're saying that you were supposed to be humanity's replacement?"
[16:12] <@Baphnedia> True. But you haven't considered the full scope - nor am I sure these guys have; if they have, then I truly am scared.
[16:13] <@Baphnedia> What happens when hundreds (if not thousands) of the worlds nuclear reactors go up due to lack of maintenance?
[16:13] <Darkmoon> (ok..to clarify...these people created A627 and his friends, they found out about the people and their desire to kill off humanity so they rebelled?)
[16:13] <@Baphnedia> I'm only probing one possibility. I'm not even going to think what could happen when the seals at the Center of Disease Control break down.
[16:14] <@Baphnedia> (they rebelled because the experiments were successful, these people didn't need excessive lab mice running around anymore)
[16:14] <Ralith> "Remember that those diseases evolved for humanity in the first place. They'd die off as quickly as this biological weapon."
[16:15] <@Baphnedia> Some yes, but the CDC also has a lot of quarantined diseases that have nothing to do with humans.
[16:15] <Ralith> "The reactor faliure could be a problem, but only relatively localized. Besides, if these people's conspiracy is so thorough, I suspect they'd have thought of that."
[16:15] <Lupin> "Nothing says that those disease can't mutate, either"
[16:16] <@Baphnedia> That is what I'm afraid of. I think that they will inject themselves with lycanthropy when they move to launch their little love rocket.
[16:16] <Ralith> "The probability of a random disease mutating spontaneously to become compatible with another host is miniscule."
[16:16] <@Baphnedia> For we, for some reason, are naturally resilient to radiation.
[16:16] <Aki> "....and theres the fact that you killed billions of people if you let that thing launch. Can you live with that guilt?"
[16:16] <Ralith> "Ahh, I think I see. So lycanthropy is basically their vaccine?"
[16:17] <@Baphnedia> Against the radiation - they alraedy have used the vaccine against the virus itself.
[16:17] <@Baphnedia> if you will
[16:17] <@Baphnedia> Since we're just a bunch of lab rats - they don't want us in their 'club'
[16:17] * Ralith glances at Aki. "There is always loss. What is important is what comes of it."
[16:18] * Darkmoon sighed "What about the man that was shot?"
[16:18] <Ralith> "You're suggesting that they don't have some safe shutdown setup for the reactors, and some extermination system for the diseases?"
[16:19] <@Baphnedia> If we heat this place up to, lets say, 1800+ degrees, we can probably kill the virus that way, through incineration. The only problem is that all the reactor controls are down below.
[16:19] <@Baphnedia> I plan to blow this place sky high with a spear of nuclear fire to cleanse the world of the threat inside ICBM tube 2.
[16:20] <Lupin> "Even if they do, it's not something that should be found out."
[16:20] <@Baphnedia> Point.
[16:20] <Ralith> "You know, there are much more graceful ways to do away with such things. Even if destorying it is a good idea."
[16:20] <@Baphnedia> Yeah - sending that ICBM into the sun. That would be fun.
[16:21] <@Baphnedia> We should've thought of that this morning.
[16:21] <Ralith> "I'm still not seeing why we shouldn't just let that ICBM launch, then take care of the 'elite' if they cause trouble for is."
[16:21] <Ralith> (us*)
[16:22] <@Baphnedia> Hmm...
[16:22] <Aki> "Because, A we can die, and B, You're murdering billions. Who have only the lack of lycanthropy as a difference from you."
[16:22] <@Baphnedia> Let me show you something - that gives me reason to doubt your theory that we are immune.
[16:22] <Darkmoon> "You want the world to change?" Darkmoon said softly to Ralith
[16:23] * Ralith glances to Darkmoon. "You don't?"
[16:23] <@Baphnedia> A627 stands up, and walks through a back door in the cafeteria, "Follow me.
[16:23] <@Baphnedia> "
[16:23] * Aki follows...
[16:23] * Ralith turns back to Aki. "The world would be better off without those billions."
[16:23] * Ralith follows
[16:24] * Lupin follows behind Aki
[16:24] <@Baphnedia> "Like I said before - we rebelled because the tests they were doing to us were becoming lethal. We think that they were testing the virus on us, until we took control."
[16:24] <Ralith> "Ah..."
[16:24] <@Baphnedia> He leads you down a narrow hallway, to a set of stairs.
[16:24] <Lupin> "It might possibly be better, but it's not our place to decide"
[16:24] <Ralith> "Who's is it, then?"
[16:24] <@Baphnedia> After a series of turns on level 5, he leads you into the morgue.
[16:24] * Darkmoon follows slowly, staring down at her feet and ignoring the question "Up untill a few days ago I thought I was one of thoes billions, all of my friends and family are one of those billions...."
[16:25] <Aki> "Says you. We're the same as them. The ability to become a wolf or gestalt does not inherently make you any better."
[16:25] <Ralith> "But we are fewer, and can survive perfectly well without society."
[16:25] <@Baphnedia> Walking to the back of the Morgue (the cold storage area), A627 waves his hands. "Pick any one of these chambers."
[16:26] <Lupin> "Someone with the ability to undo it if they've seen they've made a mistake?"
[16:26] <Lupin> "I don't know about you, but I don't have that."
[16:27] * Darkmoon picks the last chamber
[16:27] <Ralith> "Undoing such a thing would not be possible, unless you plan some sort of slow-acting poison and a matched antidote."
[16:27] <@Baphnedia> A627 walks over to it, and opens it, sliding an occupied spineboard with a sheet covering the body.
[16:27] <@Baphnedia> The body has an undeniable snout.
[16:27] <Darkmoon> "let us see what there is to see here" Darkmoon whispers
[16:28] <@Baphnedia> Respectfully, A627 slides the sheet off.
[16:28] <Ralith> "Ah. Well, that puts an end to that line of discussion."
[16:28] <@Baphnedia> "It helps that I used to be the Mortician, according to my resume."
[16:28] <@Baphnedia> "At least, that's what I was hired for."
[16:29] <@Baphnedia> The body is of a muscular black werewolf.
[16:29] <Lupin> "So how did he die?"
[16:29] <Ralith> "I think we know that already."
[16:29] <@Baphnedia> The whites of the eyes are filled with blood.
[16:29] <@Baphnedia> Boils cover the skin, about a quarter in size each, and caused the hair to fall off in many places.
[16:29] <Lupin> "The virus would be a why. I want to know how."
[16:29] * Darkmoon grimaces. "That looks...painful"
[16:30] <@Baphnedia> The jaw is open, showing boils within the mouth and a tongue lolling out the side.
[16:30] * Ralith grimaces
[16:30] * Aki winces
[16:30] <@Baphnedia> "You missed the show."
[16:30] <@Baphnedia> "At first, you start to twitch, as the body's nervous system is under attack."
[16:30] * Lupin grimaces as well
[16:31] <@Baphnedia> "The screams and howls could be heard beyond the 'sound proof' chambers.
[16:31] <@Baphnedia> Once the virus is finished causing the nervous system, boils form on your skin and the surfaces of your internal organs.
[16:31] <@Baphnedia> Where the virus becomes communicable by air, touch, and fluid.
[16:32] <@Baphnedia> Each boil feels like a hot poker being stuck into you.
[16:32] <Ralith> (and he would know this how? )
[16:32] <@Baphnedia> The convulsions worsen, sometimes the patient would break free of his bindings.
[16:33] <@Baphnedia> And flap like a dying fish on the floor.
[16:33] <@Baphnedia> Around this time, the tounge swells.
[16:33] <@Baphnedia> The lucky ones choke to death.
[16:33] <@Baphnedia> A627 hangs his head and covers the body.
[16:33] * Darkmoon growls under her breath. "I wouldn't wish this on anyone..even my worst enemy..."
[16:33] <@Baphnedia> "The unlucky ones..." his voice trails off.
[16:34] * Ralith looks away. "Alright. We'll put a stop to this."
[16:34] <@Baphnedia> He finishes covering the body and closes the chamber. "I'm not even sure who this one was. I only got to watch him die."
[16:35] <Darkmoon> "got to watch him die?"
[16:35] <@Baphnedia> A627 slowly walks back to the cafeteria.
[16:35] * Ralith tries to move the topic along, feeling slightly ill. "So why are you so similar to us, if your instance of lycanthropy is indipendant of ours?"
[16:35] * Ralith is following
[16:35] <@Baphnedia> "I was labeled 'unruly'. Rather than kill me, they showed me how they were performing new 'tests'."
[16:36] <@Baphnedia> "I don't know. The animals downstairs might know the answer to that."
[16:36] <@Baphnedia> A627 re-enters the cafeteria.
[16:36] <Aki> "So, how many of them are down there, roughly?"
[16:37] * Ralith gives A627 a questioning look.
[16:37] <@Baphnedia> "In the morgue or downstairs?"
[16:37] <Ralith> "What are they?"
[16:37] <Aki> "Downstairs."
[16:37] <@Baphnedia> "They're human. But I consider them to be rather animalistic - in their vile treatment of others. Barbaric might be a better fitting term."
[16:38] <Ralith> "Oh, right, them."
[16:38] <Ralith> "So we're going to have to do something about them, and if at all possible, capture them alive. After all, did you really believe this to be the only missile site?"
[16:39] <@Baphnedia> We think that they've been using some other access point to this facility to rally in support, or worse, move the virus to other missle silos.
[16:39] <Ralith> "I take it they've sealed all entrances from here?"
[16:39] <Lupin> "Any idea how large this facility is?"
[16:39] <@Baphnedia> I doubt a plan as complete as theirs would rely on only one site.
[16:39] <@Baphnedia> At least 29 floors deep... that's the height of the ICBM.
[16:40] <@Baphnedia> I don't know how many of them there are down there.
[16:41] <@Baphnedia> "But, a plan as daring as theirs might only be able to afford one ICBM."
[16:41] <@Baphnedia> "One can always hope?" A627 looks up hopefully.
[16:41] <Ralith> "Might. Would you risk everything on that?"
[16:41] <Ralith> "I take it they've sealed all entrances from here?"
[16:42] <@Baphnedia> "They have either sealed all entrances except our helipad, or are using one other entrance themselves. I don't know.
[16:42] <@Baphnedia> "
[16:42] <@Baphnedia> "Oh, I don't think I've heard the pleasure of your names?"
[16:43] * Darkmoon growls even louder, gums pulling back to show her teeth, "How could anyone come up with such a horrible way to kill someone, and then think to implement it on men women... children..?" She shuddered at the thought of her little brother dying the way A627 described. "My name is Darkmoon, and I am willing to do anything to help you stop them." Her eyes took on a hard merciless look.
[16:43] <Lupin> You can call me "Lupin".
[16:44] <Aki> "I'm Aki."
[16:44] * Ralith nods. "I'm Ralith. Consider me dedicated to your cause. While I might support the basic idea, the end does not justify the means..."
[16:45] <Darkmoon> (or is it the means don't justify the end ;) )
[16:45] <@Baphnedia> "Very well. There might be better ways of creating #paradice."
[16:45] <@Baphnedia> (sorry, had to plug ;) )
[16:45] <Ralith> "If it is to be done at all, the method should follow more along the lines of removing reproductive capacity..."
[16:45] <Ralith> "But this is a discussion for another time."
[16:46] <@Baphnedia> "Yes."
[16:46] <Darkmoon> "They tried that in India.. it didn't work very well"
[16:46] <@Baphnedia> "As you know, I am A627, and as you may have guessed, I am the Alpha of this pack."
[16:46] <Ralith> 'So are there any entrances to the lower levels from here?"
[16:46] <@Baphnedia> "If you are willing, I welcome you to the Pack."
[16:47] <@Baphnedia> "Stairs, elevators, etc, many of them are either barricaded or blocked off."
[16:47] <Ralith> "Many? But not all?"
[16:48] <@Baphnedia> "Nope. Not all. We still go down there to see just how many of these self-rightous goons or pawns of the government we can kill in an hour."
[16:48] <Ralith> "I take it that hasn't been going too well?"
[16:49] <@Baphnedia> Not too great. They have access to all the armories down there - grenades, heavy weapons, etc, while we have pistols.
[16:49] <@Baphnedia> "It could be going better."
[16:50] <Ralith> "When should the helicopters be back?"
[16:50] <Lupin> (Bleh another phone call.)
[16:51] <@Baphnedia> (10 min warning)
[16:51] <@Baphnedia> "In a couple days."
[16:52] <Ralith> "Ah. And how long until the guys downstairs manage to crack the controls?"
[16:52] <@Baphnedia> "Heck if I know. So long as the doors stay shut - they might not launch. If they launch with the doors closed, we're all screwed."
[16:53] <@Baphnedia> "I think this is their only missle right now, because they haven't gone ahead and risk launching it thruogh the door controls.
[16:53] <Lupin> "Yeah, but these people don't seem to be the most logical people I've known."
[16:53] <Aki> "Since we're out gunned, can't we attempt a infiltration?"
[16:53] <Ralith> "They did set up that elaborate conspiracy."
[16:53] <Lupin> "To destoy humanity."
[16:53] <Ralith> "Hey, do they know if that scientist you killed on the helipad is dead?"
[16:54] <Ralith> (to Lupin) "That's not as illogical a goal as it seems."
[16:54] <@Baphnedia> "I think after he didn't come back, yeah."
[16:54] <Darkmoon> "why did he come up in the first place?"
[16:55] * Lupin looks at Ralith, "It would be for a regular person."
[16:55] * Ralith grins
[16:56] <@Baphnedia> "Hmm. I don't think that it was for a breath of fresh air."
[16:56] <Darkmoon> "Annnd you killed him before you figured out what he was up to?"
[16:57] <@Baphnedia> "He did use a nasty acidic concoction to melt the flesh from the bones of three of us, and tried to go as deep as he could."
[16:57] <Ralith> "Still seems like an awfully large risk for them to take.
[16:58] <@Baphnedia> "Yes. They've boobietrapped themselves with various things in the past."
[16:58] <Lupin> "Like what?"
[16:58] <@Baphnedia> "I think he pissed off the wrong people down there - and they sent him in as a suicide."
[16:59] <Ralith> "I wonder what he did..."
[16:59] <@Baphnedia> "Sometimes they'll come with things so simple as household cleaners to try to make as much cyanide as they can in the upper floors."
[16:59] <@Baphnedia> "One reason why the air recycler is off while we don't have *all* parts of it secure.
[17:00] <Ralith> "Have you considered doing something like broadcasting the situation here to the branches of the military or government, or even other governments, that aren't infiltrated by the conspiracy?"
[17:00] <@Baphnedia> "Yes."
[17:00] <Ralith> "And?"
[17:01] <@Baphnedia> "If there is another silo, another missle out there with the virus, making it public knowledge might spook them, and cause them to launch."
[17:01] <Lupin> "This might not be their only plan"
[17:01] <Ralith> "Good points, both of them..."
[17:02] <@Baphnedia> "My body is weary. I will bid you all a good afternoon. C1918 will help you with accomodations. It just so happens that we have three new rooms available."
[17:03] <Ralith> "New?"
[17:03] <@Baphnedia> "Slightly used. Pre-furnished!"
[17:03] <Lupin> "New to us"
[17:03] <@Baphnedia> A627 grins wryly. "Sometimes you just have to see the good in every situation."
[17:04] * Baphnedia ends the game for now.
[17:04] <Ralith> alrighty
[17:04] <Darkmoon> ok
[17:04] * Baphnedia copies the buffer

[22:52:53] <@Baphnedia> Ok... we left off...
[22:53:05] <@Baphnedia> Please wait.
[22:53:06] <@Baphnedia> .
[22:53:07] <@Baphnedia> ..
[22:53:08] <@Baphnedia> ...
[22:53:09] <@Baphnedia> ....
[22:53:10] <@Baphnedia> .....
[22:53:12] <@Baphnedia> ......
[22:53:13] <@Baphnedia> .......
[22:53:15] <@Baphnedia> ........
[22:53:16] <Ralith> congrats, you can count periods today!
[22:53:33] <Lupin> Hahaha
[22:53:39] <@Baphnedia> (I always wanted to do that)
[22:53:41] <Darkmoon> niccceee....
[22:53:57] <Aki> O.o
[22:54:26] <@Baphnedia> After your discussion with A627, he left the cafeteria on lvl 6 to do some administrative work.
[22:54:48] <@Baphnedia> A bunch of werewolves -3 +5 means a net profit.
[22:55:24] <@Baphnedia> Another werewolf, a deep grey fur coat and sinister claws, beckons.
[22:55:56] <@Baphnedia> "I'll show you to your accomodations. There are only 3 rooms available at present, though things will get more cramped when the helo crews get back with more supplies."
[22:56:15] <@Baphnedia> B1167 looks on at the lot of you.
[22:56:20] <@Baphnedia> The coffee machine looks inviting.
[22:56:32] <@Baphnedia> (the DM is eating more halloween candy and is hyper tonight)
[22:57:06] <Lupin> (That explains the adjectives. Are there werewolves without sinister-looking claws?)
[22:57:51] <@Baphnedia> (these claws are just a little more sinister than the common fare - they can open cans, armored cars, and maybe even tanks!)
[22:57:55] <@Baphnedia> (done)
[22:58:13] <@Baphnedia> (the current time, btw, is around noon)
[22:58:33] <Vilkacis> (Is B1167 the beckoning werewolf?)
[22:58:41] * Ralith nods and moves towards the beckoner
[22:58:45] <Lupin> "Well, it does beat sleeping outside."
[22:58:54] <@Baphnedia> B1167: "When the hunters get back from the forest, lunch will be served. The morning weather helped a lot with finding food."
[22:59:05] <Ralith> (brb, grabbing haloween candy ^_^)
[22:59:26] <Darkmoon> (yah..you made me want candy too..)
[22:59:31] <@Baphnedia> He leads you out into the hallway, the grey bulkheads of the interrior of the facility showing few signs of battle.
[22:59:41] <@Baphnedia> (munch munch snarf!)
[23:00:22] <@Baphnedia> Going down the hallway, he leads you to a section where the doors are closely spaced.
[23:00:29] <Ralith> (back)
[23:01:11] <@Baphnedia> "Here is the quarters area, for the most part. What we have for an armory is here at the end of the hall, though each of us usually sleeps with a weapon."
[23:01:22] * Ralith eyes the cramped confines. "Well, at least it's dry."
[23:01:40] * Darkmoon follows slowly behind him. "A weapon?"
[23:01:53] * Ralith walks towards the end of the hall, examining the available weaponry
[23:01:56] <@Baphnedia> B1167 opens a door to the right.
[23:02:10] <@Baphnedia> (the armory is behind a closed door)
[23:02:16] <Ralith> (oh )
[23:02:25] <Ralith> (right then, I'm still with the group)
[23:03:17] * Darkmoon looks past the door into the room.
[23:03:23] <@Baphnedia> "Do you three need to move any belongings here?" Behind the door to the right, a small room (12x12 or so) has 3 cots in it, complete with blankets and other stuff.
[23:03:34] <@Baphnedia> *do you five
[23:04:13] <Ralith> "No, we're pretty much self sufficient."
[23:04:25] <Lupin> "I don't have anything. It's not like we can carry much like this."
[23:04:36] <Aki> "Yep. I got nothin'."
[23:04:39] <@Baphnedia> "True."
[23:05:03] <@Baphnedia> This is one of the rooms that's open. The beds in here belonged to the three that we lost last night.
[23:05:56] <@Baphnedia> "There are more rooms with bunks, and I'll show whomever doesn't want this room, who they'll be sharing with.
[23:06:10] * Ralith pauses breifly, then sighs, and turns back to the rest of the group. "So who sleeps where?"
[23:06:15] <Lupin> "This room is fine for me."
[23:06:29] * Darkmoon shurgs
[23:06:34] * Ralith nods
[23:06:51] <Aki> "I'm good with this room, or any other. Don't care really."
[23:06:52] <@Baphnedia> The radio cackles briefly.
[23:07:12] <@Baphnedia> B1167 calmly turns to the end of the hall. "We'll resume this boring crap later!"
[23:07:16] * Ralith glances at the guide curiously
[23:07:21] <Ralith> "What was that?"
[23:07:33] <@Baphnedia> (everyone roll listen checks)
[23:07:37] <Ralith> !d20 listen
[23:07:37] <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 for a total of 14 listen
[23:07:41] <Lupin> !d20 listen
[23:07:42] Lycaon Lupin rolled d20 for a total of 4 listen
[23:07:50] <@Baphnedia> (d20+x, Vilk, you currently have a 0 modifier)
[23:07:51] <Darkmoon> !d20 listen
[23:07:51] <Lycaon> Darkmoon rolled d20 for a total of 13 listen
[23:08:04] <Ralith> (oh, right, most of us get +1)
[23:08:09] <Vilkacis> (Eh? Am I with them, then?)
[23:08:19] <Ralith> (roll, vilk)
[23:08:22] <@Baphnedia> yeah - I'm starting you off with the group - to keep it simple
[23:08:26] <Vilkacis> !d20
[23:08:26] <Lycaon> Vilkacis rolled d20 for a total of 15.
[23:08:32] <Vilkacis> (I see)
[23:08:40] <Aki> !d20
[23:08:40] <Lycaon> Aki rolled d20 for a total of 5.
[23:08:58] Baphnedia (ok, since the majority got what was needed, Aki and Lupin, cover your eyes)
[23:08:58] <Ralith> (waitasec, we should actually brink vilk in, not just pretend he's been here from the start)
[23:09:10] <@Baphnedia> (aye, I'm /noticing him now)
[23:09:21] <@Baphnedia> (otherwise, it'd take all night)
[23:10:27] * Baphnedia pauses
[23:10:41] <Aki> 025+
[23:11:30] <Aki> (woops)
[23:12:36] <@Baphnedia> \notice Vilkacis Names in this complex, known as Silo17, has 29 levels that you know of. Right now, the wolves control the top 7 and the elevator shafts.
[23:12:49] <Ralith> (hehehehe)
[23:14:00] <Aki> (hehe)
[23:14:08] * Baphnedia smacks his forehead.
[23:14:10] <Lupin> (heh)
[23:14:22] <Ralith> (he)
[23:14:32] * Vilkacis is now known as Vilkacis|A1465
[23:15:26] <@Baphnedia> ack
[23:15:55] <Ralith> (*wonders why time has suddenly stopped*)
[23:16:11] * Baphnedia is still /noticing
[23:16:29] * Baphnedia is whispering to another player... right next to you.
[23:16:55] <@Baphnedia> B1167 leads you to the end of the hall.
[23:16:59] <@Baphnedia> "The Armory."
[23:17:24] <@Baphnedia> "Something is happening on level 7. We're not sure what they're trying to do. But, they're trying to do something.
[23:18:01] <@Baphnedia> B1167 goes to the door at the end of the hallway and keys it open.
[23:18:20] <@Baphnedia> "Everyone, this is A1465. Our dear Armorer"
[23:18:46] * Vilkacis|A1465 , in human form, turns to greet the group.
[23:19:01] <@Baphnedia> "Our Armorer, hallowed be thy flame."
[23:19:08] * Aki nods to A1465
[23:19:18] <Vilkacis|A1465> "Greetings," he states, simply.
[23:19:28] <@Baphnedia> "We need stuff. Something's up on the floor below."
[23:19:30] <Lupin> "Hello"
[23:19:41] <@Baphnedia> "Small arms, details are still coming in."
[23:19:52] <Vilkacis|A1465> "Very well"
[23:19:59] * Darkmoon looks at A1465 curiously.
[23:20:14] * Ralith nods to A1465, then looks around, trying to get a good idea of what's stored here
[23:20:28] <@Baphnedia> The armsroom is lined with M16 semiautomatic rifles, pistols
[23:21:02] * Vilkacis|A1465 is a somewhat tall, fairly well-built man, with dark hair and dark eyes.
[23:21:10] <@Baphnedia> Smoke grenades, frag grenades, flash/bang grenades...
[23:21:28] <@Baphnedia> (btw everyone is in gestalt)
[23:21:36] <@Baphnedia> (aside from A1465
[23:21:41] <Ralith> "I thought you said you didn't have much in the way of arms?"
[23:22:17] <@Baphnedia> B1167: "This isn't much. The big stuff is downstairs. This is stuff for the guards and the helicopter crews."
[23:22:35] * Vilkacis|A1465 nods in agreement.
[23:23:00] <Ralith> "Big stuff?"
[23:23:03] <@Baphnedia> The radio cackles again. "They're bringing a vulcan!"
[23:23:14] * Ralith gives the guide another questioning look
[23:23:25] <Aki> "That sounds like big stuff to me.."
[23:23:40] <Ralith> "Vulcan? I'm not exactly versed in weaponry..."
[23:24:02] <@Baphnedia> B11167: "No time to talk. Get stuff. Meet others at the cafeteria. I have a place to be and I should already be there."
[23:24:22] * Baphnedia is now known as Baph
[23:24:39] <Aki> "Big a** gattling gun type deal, if I remeber right..."
[23:24:41] * Vilkacis|A1465 starts passing arms out amongst the group members, as necessary.
[23:24:46] <@Baph> (just changed my nick for easier /notices
[23:24:55] * Darkmoon glances at the weapons, looking for something that she would know how to use.
[23:24:57] <Ralith> (tab completion, remember?)
[23:25:14] * Baph oohs!
[23:25:28] <Lupin> (Heh, forgotten already.)
[23:25:34] * Ralith takes what A1465 hands him and turns it over in his hands, examining it
[23:25:43] <@Baph> You have an M16.
[23:25:49] <Vilkacis|A1465> (Is that a hint, though? Want me to make mine shorter? Heh
[23:26:08] <@Baph> Rather, an M16/M203. A rifle with a grenade launcher attached to it.
[23:26:18] <@Baph> (nope - I forgot about tab completion'
[23:26:36] <@Baph> B1167 has left the corridor.
[23:26:36] <Vilkacis|A1465> (kk)
[23:26:47] * Vilkacis|A1465 strides after him.
[23:26:57] <@Baph> Your ears perk up as there is shooting off to the left.
[23:27:09] <@Baph> "They're coming up the elevator shaft!"
[23:27:18] * Vilkacis|A1465 readies his weapon.
[23:27:26] * Darkmoon holds the gun she is given like it is a snake, she looks for something she knows how to use, like a hunting knife...
[23:27:43] <Darkmoon> (not that that would be useful )
[23:27:44] <@Baph> There is a hunting knife
[23:27:49] * Aki raises his M16 rifle...
[23:27:59] * Ralith glances over the weapon, searching for the correct protrusion, then pulls it back, cocking it
[23:28:15] <Ralith> "Shouldn't we get to the shaft?"
[23:28:15] <@Baph> The elevator isn't on the 6th lvl... it seems to have either gone up... or down...
[23:28:25] * Lupin turns to the direction of the weapons fire, and raises his weapon "Hm, I supoose that's where the elevators are"
[23:29:03] <@Baph> (big stretch here - does the group go to the elevators?)
[23:29:24] <Lupin> (Do we have anywhere else to go?)
[23:29:31] <Ralith> (I'd say so. But then again, I have to go, so my opinion can't say too much right now.)
[23:29:39] <Ralith> (we could make it another suspenseful ending )
[23:29:55] <@Baph> (Cafeteria, or the stairs, or other stuff)
[23:30:03] <@Baph> (other stuff being exploration)
[23:30:17] <@Baph> (I've got to go too.. like I said, today is a shortened game)
[23:30:24] <Ralith> (alright... suspense it is )
[23:30:31] <Ralith> (let's all try to be here earlier tomorrow)
[23:30:33] <Lupin> (Fine with me.)

Whee! Another new [s]victim[/s] player
22:23:31 <@Baphnedia> Clearing buffer...
22:23:49 <@Baphnedia> (clearing buffer means that we're going in character)
22:25:08 <@Baphnedia> The racket was coming from the elevator shaft indeed. Flashes of light were acompanied by the sounds of gunfire, loud in your ears in this confined space.
22:25:42 * Ralith turns to A1465. "What do we know about the situation down there?"
22:26:11 < Vilkacis|A1465> "Absolutely nothing."
22:26:29 < Ralith> "Except the vulcan?"
22:26:36 <@Baphnedia> A1465: "Vulcan cannon, they're assaulting at least one staircase and the elevator shafts. Might be that they want to see daylight like that late doctor.
22:27:01 * C7651 crawls out of a ventilation shaft to the left in the shadows into the room
22:27:03 <@Baphnedia> "If we can get our hands on that vulcan, I'm sure that our 'supply' crews can get ammunition for it."
22:27:14 < Lupin> "Hmm, If they have another exit, why would they be doing this? "
22:27:19 < Lupin> "A distraction?
22:27:19 < Lupin> "
22:27:34 < Ralith> "I think it might be best if we got to the staircase. I don't trust a space as open as the elevator shaft, especially if they've got heavy weapons."
22:27:55 <@Baphnedia> "I wonder about the silo doors."
22:28:04 < Ralith> "Huh?"
22:28:24 <@Baphnedia> "If they're attacking us so we can't do anything to the missle doors."
22:28:28 < Lupin> "How did you stop those from opening, anyway?"
22:28:30 <@Baphnedia> "It's just a thought."
22:29:06 <@Baphnedia> "I think we cut power to them. I don't know - I was repairing some M16's at the time. Watch your claws on them rifle stocks."
22:29:13 * C7651 greets the crew "Hi-O crew. My designation is C7651. My entire unit was wiped out in the floor below..."
22:29:30 <@Baphnedia> "Crap."
22:29:33 < C7651> "I was the only survivor"
22:29:39 <@Baphnedia> "Staircase 1, 2, 3 or 4?"
22:30:41 * Darkmoon clutched the hunting knife tightly in her hand. The gun, which she has slung over her shoulder, bumps clumsily against her leg as she walkes slowly behind the others. She studies the new werewolf silently.
22:31:33 * C7651 lowers his rifle from his shoulder and approaches the group
22:32:02 <@Baphnedia> A1465 stealths down the hallway, motioning the group to follow. "We're going to hit them from behind. Last I heard Stairwell 3 is under attack, so we should be able to move behind them from the cafeteria."
22:32:10 < Ralith> "Isn't this the 6th level?"
22:32:13 <@Baphnedia> "oh, how rude of me."
22:32:31 <@Baphnedia> "Yes. The 'bunkers' for each stairwell are on the 7th level."
22:32:39 < Ralith> "And if the 7th level WAS under our control... it seems it might not be any longer."
22:32:47 * Ralith gives C7651 a questioning look.
22:32:57 <@Baphnedia> "We control one stairwell to the 8th level... yes."
22:33:07 < C7651> "Unfortunately my unit was completely annihilated on 7"
22:33:15 <@Baphnedia> "Oh, I'm sorry. Ralith, this is C7651."
22:33:24 <@Baphnedia> How many?
22:33:27 * Ralith nods towards C7651
22:33:35 < C7651> "the humans have taken over most of it"
22:33:53 < C7651> "I saw at least 10 or 20 standing down there"
22:34:20 <@Baphnedia> "Great. We can't let them have this level. It's our only place to store food cold, among other things."
22:34:26 < C7651> they have barracaded the stairwells, which is why I had to use the ventilation shaft"
22:34:40 <@Baphnedia> "You still have your radio?"
22:34:57 < C7651> "It seems to be broken..."
22:35:09 * C7651 tosses the radio over
22:35:47 <@Baphnedia> A1465 catches it.
22:35:48 * Ralith turns to the armorer. "We've no experience strategising in this sort of situation; it'd probably be best if you just showed us where to go."
22:36:01 <@Baphnedia> Hmm. It took a bullet hit. Nothing we can do with it.
22:36:02 < Ralith> (aren't you going to let vilk play his charachter at all? )
22:36:15 <@Baphnedia> (yes - he's welcome to butt in at any....)
22:36:22 <@Baphnedia> (OMG I'm so sorry Vilk!)
22:36:27 < Vilkacis|A1465> (he)
22:36:30 < Aki> (lol)
22:36:30 < Lupin> (Heh)
22:36:33 < Vilkacis|A1465> (I was wondering...)
22:36:43 <@Baphnedia> (GM screwup... thanks Ralith)
22:37:03 <@Baphnedia> (When the GM screws up that royally... something good happens.)
22:37:27 < Ralith> ( )
22:37:28 <@Baphnedia> (whenever you roll a die Vilkacis, add an extra .5 to the modifier)
22:37:36 <@Baphnedia> (my god I'm so sorry)
22:37:40 < Vilkacis|A1465> (k)
22:38:00 <@Baphnedia> (I've never used serial numbers for my NPC names... much less had two players with them.... gah!)
22:38:16 < Vilkacis|A1465> (You already lost one NPC completely...)
22:38:23 < Ralith> (heh. We should get them real names sometime soon)
22:38:37 < Lupin> (It would help to keep track of them)
22:39:25 < Vilkacis|A1465> (Last session, C1918 turned into B1167)
22:39:55 * Ralith pauses, then looks back to the armorer again. "You go by the designations given by the humans still, and yet I was told you had access to your personal information. Why not use the name found there? I can't say I'm comfortable referring to someone as a number."
22:39:56 <@Baphnedia> (hehe glad someone's keeping track)
22:40:48 < Vilkacis|A1465> "I don't really associate with that name anymore."
22:41:04 <@Baphnedia> Gunfire continues to spit back and fourth from lips cold as steel.
22:41:15 < Lupin> "Then perhaps you should find one of your own."
22:41:57 < Vilkacis|A1465> "I don't care what I'm called."
22:42:10 < C7651> "I would love to ponder names but we better do something about that gunfire below"
22:42:19 < Vilkacis|A1465> "Indeed."
22:42:33 < Ralith> "We're following you."
22:42:45 < Lupin> "Yes. We don't really have any expirenece with this sort of situation, though."
22:42:57 < Aki> "Yeah."
22:43:07 < C7651> "Now there is also a service shaft next to the elevator shaft we can use if we can't use the stairs..."
22:43:31 < Aki> "Now that Vulcan....if we shot a grenade at it....."
22:43:37 < Aki> "Boom?"
22:44:14 < Ralith> "I would think capturing it would be a better idea. It could be quite useful."
22:44:32 < Lupin> "If we could get ammo for it."
22:45:25 < Ralith> "Do we have radio contact with the team going to gather supplies?"
22:45:36 < Aki> "It'd be easier to blow the hell out of it."
22:45:58 < Vilkacis|A1465> "At this point, we need whatever resources we can get our hands on."
22:46:17 < Ralith> "So we capture it."
22:46:18 < Lupin> "Probably but it would still be nice to have heavy (?) weaponry"
22:46:43 < Ralith> "Now, how are we going to go about that?"
22:46:48 < C7651> "Agreed. They've seemed to be sealing themselves up good right now and we can use anything and anything we can get"
22:47:01 <@Baphnedia> Shots ring out. One of the werewolves stagger into your view from the elevator shaft, blood soaked in his right shoulder. He leans against the wall (around the corner from the gunfire) and slumps a little. Looking in your direction, he shouts over the din of battle "They're coming in!"
22:47:32 < C7651> "We gotta pull him up now!"
22:47:44 < Lupin> "Right!"
22:47:49 * C7651 goes to assist the wounded werewolf among the gunfire
22:48:00 * Vilkacis|A1465 follows right behind, to lend a hand.
22:48:09 < C7651> "Anyone have any medic training here?"
22:48:30 * Lupin goes with the other two to help
22:48:31 * Ralith shakes his head, and glances at Aki and Lupin
22:48:38 <@Baphnedia> You'll have to cross that open hallway to get to the werewolf.
22:48:51 < Ralith> "Where are they coming from?"
22:49:01 <@Baphnedia> It's only 6ft wide. With the occasional bullets coming through.
22:49:17 * Vilkacis|A1465 ducks down low and takes a quick look around the corner.
22:49:23 <@Baphnedia> Bullets that *ping* off the wall to the right.
22:49:39 * Darkmoon swallows and hangs back, she feels like she's not quite cut out for this, but she gazes at the hurt werewolf. "I...I have some medical training, a EMT class I took for collage credits..."
22:49:52 <@Baphnedia> There are 3 humans, and 2 more climbing over the edge.
22:50:02 <@Baphnedia> Armed with rifles and pistols.
22:50:17 * Ralith crouches, shouldering his rifle, and opens fire
22:50:40 < C7651> "Darkmoon, anything you could do would be great"
22:51:06 * C7651 looks over to the wounded werewolf..."You're gonna be okay buddy"
22:51:20 * Aki raises his rifle, unable to decide what to do..
22:51:21 <@Baphnedia> The humans duck behind bulkheads in the walls for cover.
22:51:33 <@Baphnedia> Then return fire towards Vilkacis and Ralith.
22:51:53 * Ralith dives to the side, going prone and quickly bringing his weapon to the ready again
22:51:55 <@Baphnedia> The wounded werewolf looks up, in a slight daze.
22:51:57 * Vilkacis|A1465 swears loudly.
22:52:04 < C7651> "We need grenades now. Do we have any grenades?"
22:52:23 < Ralith> "I think this thing has a launcher. How do I operate it?"
22:52:30 <@Baphnedia> Two more humans finish their clambering over the edge and run for cover behind the bulkheads.
22:52:39 * Ralith desperately searches for the correct mechanism on his rifle.
22:52:54 <@Baphnedia> There is a small lever/thing to the left.
22:52:54 * Darkmoon glances at the bullets whizzing past the entry... she doesn't really wanna go over there. "bring him over here and I'll take a look."
22:53:01 < Ralith> (shouldn't I roll?)
22:53:16 < Ralith> (ah well.)
22:53:19 <@Baphnedia> (sure why not - roll Weapons Lore, we'll call it)
22:53:20 * Lupin helps carry the wounded werewolf over to Darkmoon
22:53:26 < Ralith> !d20 weapons lore
22:53:26 < Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 for a total of 10 weapons lore
22:53:33 < Ralith> (whee, that's helpful )
22:53:53 <@Baphnedia> Ralith hasn't figured out how to operate the grenade launcher yet.
22:54:07 * C7651 notices that his rifle is jammed and runs over to Ralith
22:54:12 <@Baphnedia> The humans fire at Lupin and the wounded were.
22:54:15 <@Baphnedia> !d20
22:54:15 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 16.
22:54:22 < Ralith> (not jammed, I just haven't the slightest clue how to fire the launcher)
22:54:27 <@Baphnedia> !d3
22:54:27 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d3 for a total of 1.
22:54:30 < Ralith> "How do I operate this thing?!"
22:54:32 < C7651> (no mine is jammed)
22:54:34 <@Baphnedia> !d100
22:54:34 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d100 for a total of 7.
22:54:38 < Ralith> (ooo)
22:54:42 <@Baphnedia> (not damage)
22:54:52 < Lupin> (Heh, 7)
22:54:54 <@Baphnedia> The wounded were takes a bullet to the ankle.
22:54:57 < C7651> "Anything on the view screen there?"
22:55:05 <@Baphnedia> As Lupin carries him across No Man's Land.
22:55:18 * Ralith gives C7651 a frantic look. "A little help here?!"
22:55:19 * Aki fires at the humans while they're shooting at Lupin and the wounded were
22:55:29 < Darkmoon> (gah...is he near me yet?)
22:55:34 < C7651> "Ah, pull the red tab to the left and push the yellow button on top"
22:55:42 <@Baphnedia> Lupin reaches Darkmoon.
22:55:45 < C7651> "It should power on and lock on to target"
22:55:58 < Ralith> "Fancy."
22:56:04 <@Baphnedia> (y'all are too high tech for me )
22:56:06 < Lupin> (Great.)
22:56:20 * Ralith yanks the tab, sights along the barrel towards the attackers, then hits the yellow button.
22:56:20 < Aki> (hehe)
22:56:27 <@Baphnedia> FOOM!
22:56:29 < Ralith> "Now what?"
22:56:34 < Ralith> (oh, wait, that fired it?)
22:56:40 < Darkmoon> Immediately Darkmoon drops down on her knees and looks at the injured werewolve's shoulder.
22:56:42 * Ralith jolts in surprise
22:56:43 < C7651> (yep)
22:56:48 <@Baphnedia> A huge cloud of smoke and fire comes out the back end of the launcher.
22:56:58 * C7651 coughs from the smoke
22:57:00 < Ralith> (erm, remember, this IS an in-rifle thing.)
22:57:02 <@Baphnedia> Everyone roll a DUCK!
22:57:04 < Ralith> (it's no RPG)
22:57:09 < Vilkacis|A1465> !d20+.5
22:57:10 < Lycaon> Vilkacis|A1465 rolled d20 + .5 for a total of 19.5.
22:57:11 < Lupin> !d20 duck
22:57:11 < Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 for a total of 4 duck
22:57:14 < Ralith> !d20 duck
22:57:14 < Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 for a total of 13 duck
22:57:18 < C7651> !d20 duck
22:57:18 < Lycaon> C7651 rolled d20 for a total of 14 duck
22:57:20 <@Baphnedia> (it was an in-rifle thing - till it got a viewscreen and buttons...)
22:57:26 < C7651> (oops)
22:57:31 < Darkmoon> !d20 duck
22:57:31 < Lycaon> Darkmoon rolled d20 for a total of 8 duck
22:57:36 < Ralith> (bah. So I have an RPG AND a rifle. Whee, I feel like a rambo.)
22:57:37 < Aki> !d20 Duck
22:57:37 < Lycaon> Aki rolled d20 for a total of 4 Duck
22:58:00 < Lupin> (I don't feel so bad now)
22:58:15 <@Baphnedia> (it shouldn't be - but I'm ok with that... if a grenade launcher gets a viewscreen and other stuff, the payload increases...)
22:58:32 < Ralith> (so I'm not exactly maneuverable.)
22:58:32 <@Baphnedia> Everyone gets hit by a duck.
22:58:38 < Ralith> >.<
22:58:41 < Darkmoon> ( i have no idea what just happened)
22:58:53 * C7651 yelps
22:59:06 < Lupin> (That reminds me, I need to find mine.)
22:59:09 <@Baphnedia> The blast of the primer to launch the grenade had to go somewhere, immediately followed by a huge BOOM in the shaft.
22:59:20 * Ralith coughs in the fumes, then tries to get a good look at the effect of the explosive
22:59:23 * C7651 looks ahead to see through the smoke if the humans are still there behind the bulkhead
22:59:35 <@Baphnedia> Firing grenades at close range tends to put you in range of the blast radius.
22:59:54 <@Baphnedia> Aki was hit with a peice of shrapnel, as was the wounded wolf.
23:00:14 <@Baphnedia> Darkmoon now has two GSWs and a shrapnel wound to work on.
23:00:32 * C7651 runs out to Darkmoon to hand over a pair of forcips
23:00:42 <@Baphnedia> The bulkheads ahead in the hallway are bloody and pitted with shrapnel everywhere. It seems that all five of the humans were in the kill radius of the grenade.
23:01:00 * Darkmoon growls argrily and yells "Does anyone have any sort of medical supplies!?"
23:01:07 * Aki curses loudly, his white fur soaking crimson from the wound. "Well, at least we got 'em."
23:01:22 <@Baphnedia> Blood is pooling in the center of the hallway, the lowest point, coming from both sides behind the bulkheads.
23:01:27 * Ralith looks relieved for a moment, then notices the injuries.
23:01:37 * Ralith gives the injured a regretful look
23:01:57 <@Baphnedia> !d20-5
23:01:57 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 - 5 for a total of 6.
23:02:02 < C7651> "Ok I know there is a medkit somewhere on this floor"
23:02:32 < C7651> (are we all supposed to roll?)
23:02:39 <@Baphnedia> The wounded wolf whispers, "The kitchten, and the infirmiry downstairs."
23:03:14 <@Baphnedia> (by the way - there is a clock running...)
23:03:17 <@Baphnedia> 5.
23:03:35 < C7651> "It's my fault for calling for the 'nade. I should be the one risking it to get to the medkit"
23:03:44 < C7651> "
23:03:53 < C7651> "I owe it to you"
23:04:10 <@Baphnedia> 4.
23:04:14 < Lupin> "You and A1465 are the only ones who know where the kitchen are anyway."
23:04:27 * Ralith is visibly relieved as C7651 takes the blame, and begins searching for another RPG round to load.
23:04:29 * Darkmoon looks at the injured wolf and rips off part of the lab coat she still is carrying wither her. She presses it over the wound on his shoulder cursing under her breath.
23:04:29 <@Baphnedia> (The kitchen is by the cafeteria...)
23:04:48 < Vilkacis|A1465> "I'll go with you."
23:04:55 <@Baphnedia> 3.
23:04:58 < Vilkacis|A1465> "We have to hurry!"
23:05:02 < Ralith> (shall I roll for finding a RPG round?)
23:05:04 < Darkmoon> (what is the counting?)
23:05:05 < C7651> "Okay let's go!"
23:05:08 <@Baphnedia> (you find one)
23:05:13 < Lupin> (There's a clock)
23:05:23 <@Baphnedia> (the cafeteria is on this floor, further down the hall)
23:05:23 * Ralith attempts to fit it into the launcher
23:05:36 <@Baphnedia> (roll weps lore Ralith)
23:05:36 * C7651 splits off with A1465 to run to the cafeteria
23:05:40 < Ralith> !d20 wep lore
23:05:41 < Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 for a total of 19 wep lore
23:05:43 < Ralith> (yay)
23:05:58 <@Baphnedia> (you learned something about the launcher. You can now load it like a pro!)
23:06:01 * Ralith slips the round smoothly into place, locks it, then looks up
23:06:04 <@Baphnedia> 2.
23:06:21 <@Baphnedia> You arrive at the cafeteria
23:06:26 < Ralith> "I've got this apprehensive feeling..."
23:06:47 < C7651> "In the kitchen, it's in an orange box"
23:06:48 <@Baphnedia> The wounded wolf closes his eyes and sighs.
23:06:54 * Lupin raises his weapon.
23:06:55 <@Baphnedia> 1.
23:06:59 < Aki> "For the Record: Bad feeling sounds cooler."
23:07:01 < Ralith> "Are we sure that it's clear?"
23:07:13 < Lupin> "No."
23:07:19 * Ralith listens for any movement from the kitchen
23:07:38 * C7651 runs back out with A1465 and the kit...
23:07:38 <@Baphnedia> there is no movement.
23:07:49 <@Baphnedia> You arrive at the wounded werewolf.
23:07:53 <@Baphnedia> 0.
23:07:54 * C7651 dodges stray bullets
23:08:03 <@Baphnedia> Darkmoon, are you monitoring pulse?
23:08:06 < Darkmoon> (no movement from my injured wolf?)
23:08:13 < C7651> "It's here! It's here!"
23:08:27 < Darkmoon> (gah! I can't type fast enough to keep up with ya'lls posts!)
23:08:28 <@Baphnedia> No. He's stopped moving (this doesn't mean that he's dead).
23:08:43 < C7651> "There's some adrenaline and heart electric paddles in here! Is he breathing?"
23:08:52 <@Baphnedia> (don't worry, enough IRC RP and you will. )
23:09:05 * C7651 pulls out some large bandages also
23:09:11 < Lupin> (It would most likely be an AED)
23:09:31 * Darkmoon struggles with the wounded wolf. She is very focused on him, and realizes that he is losing consiousness. "Most likely he is going into shock..." She growls, "He's losing too much blood!
23:09:33 < Lupin> (Automated External Defibulator)
23:09:37 <@Baphnedia> (how many are helping the werewolf?)
23:09:38 * C7651 turns to Darkmoon... "What can I do?"
23:10:03 * Vilkacis|A1465 is keeping an eye out on the surroundings.
23:10:28 * Darkmoon panics. " Hold this!" She points to the bandage where she was applying pressure and examines the other wounds
23:10:31 <@Baphnedia> Aki continues to bleed from the shrapnel wound, but not profusely. It hurts like heck.
23:10:36 * Lupin over by the werewolf but has his weapon raised at the elevator shaft.
23:10:51 * C7651 holds it in place for Darkmoon
23:11:26 <@Baphnedia> The GSW to the ankle blew right through the bone and he has arterial bleeding. There is a peice of shrapnel sticking out of his Diaghphram.
23:11:27 < Ralith> (is there still gunfire audible from the shaft?)
23:11:48 <@Baphnedia> Gunfire is audible from the floors below, but you can hear it through the shaft.
23:11:53 < C7651> "He's chocking! He can't breath!"
23:12:47 * Ralith looks back at the group again. "Is there anything I can do?"
23:13:06 * Aki leans against the wall, watching the others tending to the wounded Werewolf...
23:13:36 * Darkmoon keeps continues panicking.. "I...I wasn't trained for this...he's losing way too much blood...I don't think I can do anything... more."
23:13:42 * C7651 helps tie a turnicate for the ankle
23:14:00 < C7651> "You're doing good! We've got to keep this up! We can do this!"
23:14:35 < C7651> "You've gotta get him breathing!"
23:14:51 < C7651> "Think back to your training..."
23:15:01 <@Baphnedia> (Darkmoon, roll medical with a +8)
23:15:25 < Darkmoon> !d20 +8
23:15:25 < Lycaon> Darkmoon rolled d20 + 8 for a total of 24.
23:16:19 <@Baphnedia> You think back to your training, and use the jaw thrust method and find that his throat is not blocked. However, he doesn't seem to be breathing,.
23:16:57 < Lupin> "Try CPR!"
23:17:04 * Darkmoon looks nervous. "His anatomy isn't human!" She groans inwardly
23:17:09 < Lupin> (How would one do CPR with a muzzl anyway...)
23:17:20 < Ralith> (90 degree rotation?)
23:17:32 < C7651> (it has been done with dogs some way or another)
23:17:36 <@Baphnedia> (biggest thing would be compressing the lungs)
23:17:48 < C7651> "push here"
23:17:51 <@Baphnedia> (oh, how can I /notice more than one person at a time?
23:18:03 < Ralith> (no idea )
23:18:11 <@Baphnedia> (lotsa typing for me!)
23:18:14 < Lupin> (You can't really)
23:18:15 < C7651> "Here you thrust and I'll help with the breaths"
23:18:26 < Ralith> (I know my client has a scrollable (up/downarrow) history thing that makes it easy enough to repeat similar commands)
23:18:35 * Darkmoon knows she needs to remove the metal, but that would leave an even bigger puncture in the diaphram
23:18:48 < Lupin> (Yeah, that's pretty much the only way to do it quickly)
23:18:50 < Vilkacis|A1465> (Get them together in a temporary channel)
23:19:37 <@Baphnedia> (I won't this time)
23:19:45 < C7651> "We could get him breathing with a breathing tube if we need to"
23:20:11 <@Baphnedia> (is someone doing abdominal thrusts?)
23:20:20 <@Baphnedia> (or are y'all just talkinjg about it?)
23:20:33 * C7651 pulls out the tube and mouth kit
23:20:53 * C7651 turns towards Darkmoon
23:20:55 * Darkmoon grabs for the medkit and makes a quick decision. She pulls out the metal shard.
23:21:14 <@Baphnedia> The admomen of the ww starts to bleed.
23:21:32 * C7651 curses loudly
23:21:47 <@Baphnedia> The other two wounds are not bleeding.
23:21:53 * Darkmoon needs a way to close the wound. "What else is in that kit?"
23:22:03 * Ralith continues to focus upon the elevator shaft, ears perked
23:22:07 * C7651 rummages
23:22:19 < C7651> "I don't know what all this stuff is!"
23:22:26 <@Baphnedia> There is still gunfire soundign from downstairs.
23:22:31 * C7651 hands it off to Darkmoon hopefully
23:22:51 < C7651> "Empty it onto the floor, anything, just find something!"
23:23:29 * Darkmoon grabs a bandage, hoping to close the wound better when they the wolf is stable
23:23:49 * C7651 helps Darkmoon hold the wound closed
23:24:01 <@Baphnedia> Ralith, are you looking down the elevator shaft, or looking down the hallway that leads to the shaft?
23:24:12 < Ralith> (down the hallway.)
23:24:38 * Darkmoon wraps the bandage around the were's abdomen
23:24:47 <@Baphnedia> A human hand grips the edge, now slick with blood. A rifle and another hand rise up over the edge of the floor.
23:25:06 < Lupin> "Are those ours!?"
23:25:09 * C7651 turns his head to focus on the human hand
23:25:25 <@Baphnedia> Someone is pulling himself up.
23:25:36 < Ralith> "Hey! Who is that?"
23:25:42 * Vilkacis|A1465 readies his weapon, just in case.
23:25:44 * C7651 squints
23:25:51 * Aki raises his rifle, cursing under his breath how much it hurt to do so.
23:26:06 * Ralith aims his rifle carefully at where he predicts the head will appear
23:26:19 < Ralith> " C7651! Do we know who that is?"
23:26:51 < Darkmoon> As soon as that bandage is secure she grabs two more. She wraps the were's shoulder, deciding to stich it up later, as the bleeding has slowed and does not seem to be too dangerous. She checks his pulse.
23:26:56 < C7651> "Look on the lower left arm! If its one of my guys he'll be tattooed with his id number"
23:27:05 < C7651> "See a number?"
23:27:12 * Lupin looks at the man's arm
23:27:37 < C7651> "A designation C?"
23:27:41 < C7651> "Anything?!?"
23:27:49 < Lupin> (Baph?)
23:27:52 <@Baphnedia> There is no tatoo.
23:28:12 < C7651> "I can't see anything from here"
23:28:14 < Lupin> "No. I don't see anything."
23:28:33 < Ralith> "Should we open fire?"
23:28:40 < C7651> "IT would be there. It's not one of us I know of then"
23:28:43 <@Baphnedia> A human head pokes over the edge and he immediately sees Ralith. and his head ducks below
23:28:53 * Lupin opens fire on the elevator shaft
23:28:54 < C7651> "Identify yourself"
23:29:02 < Vilkacis|A1465> (lol)
23:29:13 <@Baphnedia> The rifle dissapears. Clatter of metal against a metal ladder is heard.
23:29:14 < Ralith> (*bangbangbangbang* identify yourself!)
23:29:36 < Ralith> "Well? Do we assume he's enemy?"
23:29:37 <@Baphnedia> "Screw you Beast!"
23:29:41 < Ralith> "s***!"
23:29:46 < C7651> "Get him!"
23:29:56 * C7651 attempts to unjam his rifle
23:29:56 * Ralith starts letting off shots
23:29:57 <@Baphnedia> "There are three of em up there with a grenade launcher"
23:30:07 < Ralith> "Heeey..."
23:30:13 <@Baphnedia> The other hand dissapears.
23:30:27 * Ralith drops his rifle and readies the launcher, arming it and this time aiming it towards the back of the shaft
23:30:34 < Ralith> "Can I get this thing to curve down?"
23:30:50 * Ralith nudges C7651
23:30:51 < Aki> "I don't think RPG's curve that quickly.."
23:30:55 < C7651> "I don't know I've only used it in basic training"
23:30:58 <@Baphnedia> You can at least aim down a little with it.
23:31:05 < C7651> "I only used it in straight lines"
23:31:37 * C7651 comtinues to nervously fudge with the firing mechanism
23:31:50 * Ralith sights carefully towards the back of the shaft (as opposed to the barrier he blew up earlier), hits the targeting stud, and fires
23:32:08 * C7651 aims it away from everyone and test fires...
23:32:19 * Darkmoon stares sadly at the wounded were's shattered foot. There isn't really anything she can do about it, but she pulls out the bullet and braces the ankle with a splint from the kit. She then warps it with the bandage, continually checking on his breathing and heart rate.
23:32:38 <@Baphnedia> FOOM!
23:32:40 <@Baphnedia> BOOM!
23:32:55 < Lupin> (Two now?)
23:33:07 * Ralith prays that the rocket found a target and started to arc down towards it before hitting the back wall
23:33:10 <@Baphnedia> (C7651, what are you testfiring?)
23:33:14 < Ralith> (a rifle)
23:33:17 < Lupin> (His rifle)
23:33:21 <@Baphnedia> (ahh)
23:33:29 < C7651> (the (un)jammed? rifle)
23:33:33 < Ralith> (the foom is the launch, the boom is the detonation)
23:33:38 * Baphnedia takes the BOOM! back.
23:33:43 < Ralith> (or not)
23:33:48 * Baphnedia then makes a Bang!
23:33:56 * Ralith ducks
23:34:03 <@Baphnedia> (roll ducks!)
23:34:03 < C7651> "Okay I think this thing is working"
23:34:07 < Ralith> !d20 duck
23:34:07 < Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 for a total of 18 duck
23:34:08 < Lupin> !d20 duck
23:34:08 < Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 for a total of 3 duck
23:34:16 < Vilkacis|A1465> !d20 + .5
23:34:16 < Lycaon> Vilkacis|A1465 rolled d20 + .5 for a total of 7.5.
23:34:19 < Aki> !d20 duck
23:34:19 < Lycaon> Aki rolled d20 for a total of 12 duck
23:34:22 < C7651> !d20 duck
23:34:22 < Lycaon> C7651 rolled d20 for a total of 19 duck
23:34:22 < Lupin> (Wow, I really suck at ducking.)
23:34:28 < Aki> (lol)
23:34:37 < Darkmoon> (do i duck too?)
23:34:37 < Ralith> (don't forget that it SHOULD have hit the back wall, meaning less shrapenal over here)
23:34:49 < Ralith> (you should probably roll to decide how well the rocket obeyed my wishes)
23:35:05 * C7651 edges up with his rifle to the side opposite Ralith
23:35:15 < Darkmoon> !d20
23:35:15 < Lycaon> Darkmoon rolled d20 for a total of 10.
23:35:18 <@Baphnedia> (don't need to.. area effect)
23:35:20 < C7651> "I'm right up here with ya bud"
23:35:45 < Ralith> (It's a really wide shaft, isn't it? and if everything went properly it curved down into it a little bit)
23:36:02 < Ralith> (can we discover what happens before our timeline gets too fscked up? )
23:36:08 <@Baphnedia> Shrapnel clatters through the hallway. A couple peices ricochet and smack Lupin upside the head. Breaking the skin.
23:36:20 < Aki> (haha)
23:36:27 <@Baphnedia> (no clocks running at the second)
23:36:31 < C7651> "Oh s***! It got Lupin!"
23:36:34 < Aki> (*smack!*)
23:36:41 < Lupin> "Ouch"
23:36:46 < Ralith> "You alright?"
23:36:49 < C7651> "You okay?!?"
23:37:00 <@Baphnedia> Various things clatter about from the elevator shaft.
23:37:13 * Darkmoon sits still, looking at the werewolf, then at the shooters, shuddering. She checks on the bandages of her patient.
23:37:15 <@Baphnedia> A few seconds later, a few wet smacks echo up the shaft.
23:37:16 < C7651> "We have to get down there and get them before they come up to get us"
23:37:23 * Ralith peers through the smoke, ears perked
23:37:28 < Ralith> "Hehe, sounds like that worked out."
23:37:35 < Lupin> "Yeah, I'm fine."
23:37:40 < C7651> "Did we get 'em?"
23:37:49 * Ralith turns to the armorer. "Got another round for this thing around here somewhere?"
23:38:07 < Vilkacis|A1465> "Hell. As if I'd give you another!"
23:38:13 <@Baphnedia> No gunfire is coming from below.
23:38:20 < Aki> "Heh."
23:38:26 < Ralith> "Hey, I've taken care of both our threats entirely so far."
23:38:31 < C7651> "I think this is a good time to make our move!"
23:38:40 < Vilkacis|A1465> "And nearly killed us in the process!"
23:38:41 < Lupin> "You've also managed to hit me and Aki "
23:39:07 < C7651> "Guys we can sit here and bicker or we can get this thing done!"
23:39:11 <@Baphnedia> The wounded wolf is stabilized and breathing, through the efforts of Darkmoon and C7651.
23:39:11 < Ralith> "Fine, then you use it! I don't think it'd be a great idea to leave our heaviest weapon behind!"
23:39:38 < Ralith> "It was your decision to give me, who warned you that I"m inexperienced, the big gun."
23:40:07 < Vilkacis|A1465> (I never gave you anything but an M16...)
23:40:17 < Ralith> (I ended up with an RPG. Don't ask me how.)
23:40:18 < C7651> "Now I came up through the service shaft, and that goes down to the 10th level down, stopping at each level via a hatch"
23:40:36 < Lupin> (It shifted into an M16 anda grenade launcher a while back.)
23:40:49 < C7651> (That was an oops on my end)
23:40:51 < Lupin> (Maybe Ralith bit it or something.)
23:40:56 < Vilkacis|A1465> (heh)
23:40:56 < Ralith> (hehe)
23:41:00 < C7651> (lol)
23:41:11 < Aki> (lol)
23:41:21 * Ralith snarls angrily, then tosses the RPG to the A1465. "Just find someone to carry the thing. We shouldn't leave it behind!"
23:41:21 * Vilkacis|A1465 walks over to Ralith and retrieves the weapon.
23:41:21 * Darkmoon stands up, feeling shaky. "And what about him?" She points at the wounded werewolf.
23:41:34 < Ralith> "Good question."
23:41:48 < C7651> "We can lower him down. I have rope and a harness"
23:42:09 <@Baphnedia> (ok quick pause)
23:42:13 < Lupin> "It would be better to call someone who can take him."
23:42:26 <@Baphnedia> (in explanatino - Ralith has an M16/M203 grenade launcher
23:42:36 < Ralith> (I thought I had an M16 AND a RPG?)
23:42:47 < Lupin> (He originally had that.)
23:42:49 <@Baphnedia> (The minimum safe distance for firing is about a third of a football field.)
23:42:52 < Ralith> (I started out with the combo weapon, but as said, they split up along the way.)
23:43:24 <@Baphnedia> (I went along with the view screen and other buttons, and went for the combo wep conceot later, when it was brought up)
23:43:37 < Ralith> (Ah. So what did I just give vilk?)
23:43:40 <@Baphnedia> (you were firing it less than half that distance)
23:43:52 < Ralith> (and is this an RPG or a simple launcher?)
23:44:09 < Ralith> (if it's an RPG, is it dumb or guided?)
23:44:14 <@Baphnedia> (he's got an M16/M203. Simple launcher.) Dumb.
23:44:23 < Ralith> (ok)
23:44:39 <@Baphnedia> (probably simpler that way)
23:44:44 < Vilkacis|A1465> (so I'll trade him my regular M16, then...?)
23:44:49 <@Baphnedia> (sure)
23:44:50 < Ralith> (sure)
23:45:02 * Baphnedia gets back into the game.
23:45:05 < C7651> "Does anyone have a functioning radio. Mine is blown to pieces as you saw..."
23:45:33 * Vilkacis|A1465 passes Ralith his M16, "Here, you'll need something."
23:45:42 * Vilkacis|A1465 mutters under his breath.
23:45:49 * Ralith looks sheepish
23:46:01 < C7651> "We need one if we're to call someone... and is there someone we can call?"
23:46:33 * Lupin looks at A1465
23:46:57 * Darkmoon keeps checking on the injured werewolf and starts taking inventory of the med pack.
23:47:41 < Ralith> "You should probably pack that up again and take it with us. We're not likely to get away without any other injuries."
23:47:56 < C7651> "Maybe we can patch up the radio enough to call someone?"
23:48:11 < C7651> "Anyone good with electronics?"
23:48:17 < Darkmoon> "My thoughts exactly" she grumbled at Ralith
23:48:24 * Ralith nods hesitantly.
23:48:54 < Ralith> "Let me take a look at it."
23:48:58 * C7651 passes it to Ralith
23:49:11 * Ralith levers open the case, examining the insides.
23:49:30 < Ralith> (baph, you good enough with electronics to give me a description, or should I just roll and improvise from there?)
23:49:30 < C7651> "The darned thing took a bullet for me"
23:49:33 <@Baphnedia> !howl 5 5
23:49:33 * Lycaon howls loudly, "AWOOOOO!"
23:49:43 <@Baphnedia> A howl echoes from the shaft.
23:49:58 < Ralith> (*pokes Baphnedia *)
23:50:00 <@Baphnedia> (roll improv)
23:50:06 < Ralith> !d20
23:50:06 < Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 for a total of 16.
23:50:08 < Vilkacis|A1465> !d20 + .5
23:50:08 < Lycaon> Vilkacis|A1465 rolled d20 + .5 for a total of 8.5.
23:50:25 < C7651> !d20
23:50:25 < Lycaon> C7651 rolled d20 for a total of 18.
23:50:25 < Ralith> (mrh... not very defenitive. Let's see what I can do.)
23:50:31 < Lupin> (I have the strongest urge to say "What is it boy!? Did Timmy fall down the well!?")
23:50:43 -!- Darkmoon [~chatzilla@*.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net] has quit [Connection reset by peer]
23:50:46 < C7651> "Ho there! Identify yourself!"
23:51:00 -!- Darkmoon [~chatzilla@*.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net] has joined #paradice
23:51:05 < C7651> (wb)
23:51:10 < Darkmoon> (growls at internet connection)
23:51:14 < Ralith> "We're lucky. The boards aren't cracked, and the IC's look intact. The case took most of the hit, but most of the wiring's been dislodged."
23:51:26 < C7651> "Can you fix it?"
23:51:39 < Ralith> "I can only do so much without a soldering iron..."
23:51:46 < Ralith> "Darkmoon, can I see that knife?"
23:52:04 * C7651 calls to the werewolf down below again
23:52:06 <@Baphnedia> A familiar voice echoes down the shft. "Y'all done making a ruckuss down there?"
23:52:10 * Darkmoon nods, picking it up and handing it to Ralith
23:52:19 <@Baphnedia> (the werewolf's voice is from above)
23:52:43 * Ralith mutters to himself, "Am I glad that color-coding is standard these days..."
23:52:58 * C7651 , looking confused... "hey up there!"
23:53:00 <@Baphnedia> "Yeah?"
23:53:00 < C7651> "What's your status?"
23:53:22 * Ralith strips insulation from the ends of the torn wires, and twists matched colors together, being careful to keep the exposed metal away from other contacts.
23:53:33 <@Baphnedia> "I just finished a game of solitare... while sticking an occasional round through the head of the idjits who tried to climb the shaft."
23:54:11 * Ralith snaps the case back together, and hands it to C7651. "Don't jolt it suddenly; it could short circuit. So long as the more delicate bits are intact it should operate fine."
23:54:21 < Lupin> Wait.
23:54:30 * C7651 turns to Lupin
23:54:42 * Lupin takes some tape from the medkit. "Use this to insulate the wires."
23:55:00 < C7651> "Good idea"
23:55:00 < Ralith> "Great!"
23:55:09 * Ralith snatches the radio back, opens it, and applies the tape to the connections.
23:55:26 < Ralith> "That should help it hold together too."
23:55:26 * C7651 calls up to the werewolf above..."You sound familiar..."
23:55:26 <@Baphnedia> "Y'all got a radio down ther?"
23:55:33 < Lupin> "It's not going to be very useful applying bandages to fur anyways."
23:55:35 * Ralith shouts up, "In a moment!"
23:55:41 <@Baphnedia> "Yeah, I'm 'the Greeter"
23:55:51 * Baphnedia forgets the Greeter's designation.
23:56:03 * Ralith checks the connections one last time and snaps it together again.
23:56:15 < Ralith> "This should do nicely now."
23:56:29 < C7651> "Okay we're cookin' now"
23:56:41 <@Baphnedia> "You guys should hide that M203 and don't tell the boss who fired it. He's gonna ream the 'SOB' that blew the crap out of the elevator shaft."
23:56:52 * Ralith flinches
23:57:19 < Lupin> (Sorry, real-life McGuyvering instincts showing through.)
23:57:52 < Ralith> "It was a tradeoff between minor shrapnel risk and damage to the shaft, and having to deal with 10 or so assaulting humans. What would you have done?"
23:57:54 < C7651> "Turn to frequency 12!"
23:58:04 <@Baphnedia> "He says for all teams to assemble in the Cafeteria when the coast is clear, and to leave three members at each post, two in sight of the entrance, one around some kind of a corner, as usual."
23:58:25 < C7651> "Anyone up there able to pull an injured out?"
23:58:28 <@Baphnedia> "Oh, probably the same thing."
23:58:51 <@Baphnedia> "Out to where? The infirmiray is below you."
00:00:14 * C7651 turns to the group "We don't have time to sit in the infirmary with him..." back on the radio... "he's patched up good enough for now but he aint movin on his own"
00:00:19 <@Baphnedia> "As for the elevator, it'll be operational once A627 gives me the green light."
00:00:23 < Lupin> "Well, I was thinking the cafeteria. Better than laying in hallway"
00:00:35 < C7651> "Roger"
00:01:19 * Darkmoon cursed under her breath. "You guys have any medics here?"
00:01:34 < C7651> "You know, a name just came to me just now... Nick... I recall something about the name Nick..."
00:01:41 * C7651 tosses Darkmoon the radio
00:01:42 <@Baphnedia> A voice cackles on the radio. "C7651, were you anywhere near today's Rambo?!"
00:01:54 < Ralith> "Whatever. It's better than a number"
00:02:00 * Baphnedia hangs his head.
00:02:02 * Ralith looks slightly embarassed again
00:02:22 < C7651> (am I confusing things more?)
00:02:27 <@Baphnedia> (no)
00:02:39 * Lupin looks at Ralith, "Well it's not like you had any idea what you were doing."
00:02:43 <@Baphnedia> (the command to change your name is /nick Nick... just thought it funny)(
00:03:07 < C7651> "I was the only one in my unit to survive the assault from underneath
00:03:23 < Ralith> "And it did work out rather well. Except for that arterial injury, but that's taken care of now."
00:03:44 * Darkmoon holds out the radio for everyone to speak into.
00:03:57 < C7651> "Nick... Nick......why do I know that name?"
00:04:39 < Ralith> "Apparently their memory wiping wasn't as thorough as they'd tried for. Probably a good thing; perhaps there's even some chance of you recalling most of your memory eventually?"
00:04:41 <@Baphnedia> The wounded werewolf is sleeping, breathing steadily.
00:04:41 < Lupin> (Oh crap. That reminds me. I need to identify to that nickname (Nick) on another server.)
00:04:44 < Lupin> (brb)
00:05:02 < C7651> "Nick Torrent, that was it! Torrent was my name!"
00:05:18 -!- C7651 is now known as Torrent
00:06:02 < Torrent> "The question is, is it better to remember or forget?"
00:06:28 < Ralith> "Can your history be that bad? From what I've heard it'd take quite something to trump what you've been through in these labs..."
00:06:35 * Baphnedia sets a 10 minute timer... gotta go to bed soon
00:06:48 < Ralith>
00:06:51 < Torrent> (it is 1:15 am here lol)
00:07:02 < Darkmoon> (wow late)
00:07:04 < Ralith> (it's friday! you can stay up!)
00:07:11 < Torrent> (heehee)
00:07:12 < Lupin> (Then you'r clock is like 8 minutes off)
00:07:15 * Baphnedia has to work tomorrow
00:07:17 < Lupin> (you're)
00:07:30 < Lupin> (your)
00:07:33 < Darkmoon> (work on sat...that stinks)
00:07:40 < Lupin> (I fail at spelling)
00:07:40 < Ralith> (bah, on a sat?)
00:07:47 < Ralith> (anyway, let's resume the game.)
00:07:53 <@Baphnedia> (yeppers... Mon-Sat, back to game)
00:07:59 < Torrent> "I dunno. What I do know is we should meet the other group"
00:08:15 < Ralith> "Right. I'm following you."
00:08:17 <@Baphnedia> A627 cackles on the radio. If you have three men at your post, everyone else report to the cafeteria!"
00:08:45 < Ralith> "Alright then."
00:09:13 * Ralith turns to Lupin. "Let's get over there."
00:09:20 < Lupin> "Yes."
00:09:21 < Torrent> "Who should stay?"
00:09:26 < Vilkacis|A1465> "I'll remain."
00:09:40 < Aki> "I'll stay."
00:10:06 < Torrent> "I guess I'll hold post as well"
00:10:24 < Ralith> "It might be best for us four to get to the cafetria, as we've the least idea what's going on."
00:10:48 < Ralith> "Are three necessary for this area?"
00:10:54 <@Baphnedia> The Greeter cracks over the radio: "Everything's green up here boss. Would someone be so kind as to bring up some dinner?"
00:11:03 < Aki> "He did say three men.."
00:11:21 < Ralith> "On the other hand, we could really do with a proper breifing."
00:11:28 < Lupin> "Yes but we only have 2 1/2 with any real expirenence."
00:11:29 <@Baphnedia> A627 replies: "What? So you don't have to interrupt your game of cards? I don't think so. We'll send a replacement up shortly."
00:11:58 < Lupin> "And the half is sleeping."
00:12:31 < Torrent> "Perhaps I should swap with someone less military-oriented?
00:13:30 < Torrent> "Either way we've gotta find out what's going on"
00:13:57 < Ralith> "Perhaps we can get some relief sent in for you three."
00:14:20 < Darkmoon> "I need to stay with this man" Darkmoon rests her hand on the injured werewolf, "And I think that I will need almost all of you to help me move him. We have to get him somewhere where I can do a better job of patching him up...maybe save that foot."
00:14:44 * Lupin points to the wounded were "We should probably carry him to the cafeteria."
00:14:57 < Torrent> "Yeah we really need the update asap"
00:15:10 < Torrent> "Plus someone might be able to help there too"
00:15:10 * Ralith grins briefly to Darkmoon. "It shouldn't be troubling him for more than a few weeks. Remember that we've got a bit of a healing ability?"
00:16:19 < Torrent> "Okay we'll keep a look out for more humans"
00:16:33 * Ralith motions to the injured werewolf. "Anyway. So should we all just bring him in together?"
00:16:44 < Vilkacis|A1465> "At least one of us should stay."
00:16:59 < Ralith> "True."
00:17:05 < Torrent> (straws?)
00:17:11 < Ralith> "Darkmoon, do we really need 6 people to move him safely?"
00:17:26 < Vilkacis|A1465> "I can do it. I'll stay here."
00:17:37 < Ralith> "Thanks."
00:17:41 < Torrent> "We are short on time... there's bound to be another wave of humans coming soon"
00:17:44 < Lupin> (I thought Torrent, Aki and A1465 were staying)
00:17:53 <@Baphnedia> kkk
00:17:55 < Ralith> (we're still discussing it)
00:18:18 < Ralith> (now it's just A1465, as we're needed to carry in the injured werewolf)
00:18:30 <@Baphnedia> (I've got to bow out - feel free to end the game once you've figured it out, and if someone would be so kind to post to the Pack, it'd be appreciated)
00:18:43 < Lupin> (I can post it.)
00:18:47 < Ralith> (we can just end here, I think.)
00:18:49 <@Baphnedia> (oh, how do I make one of you an Op?)
00:18:51 < Torrent> (c ya Baph)
00:18:53 < Lupin> "I don't really think it would take 6 of us to carry it)
00:18:55 < Ralith> (/op nick)
00:19:06 < Ralith> (him, not it >.<)
00:19:10 < Lupin> (er...)
00:19:13 -!- mode/#paradice [+o Lupin] by Baphnedia
00:19:19 <@Lupin> "I don't really think it would take 6 of us to carry him..."
00:19:28 <@Lupin> (Mixing sentences!)
00:19:35 < Torrent> "Naw you seem to be a strong bunch"
00:19:41 < Ralith> "It's Darkmoon's say; she's the most qualified."
00:19:45 -!- Baphnedia is now known as Baph-away
00:19:51 < Torrent> "But we must make haste either way"
00:19:53 < Ralith> "I think it's more a question of providing stability than weight tolerance."
00:19:54 <@Baph-away> (cya later!)
00:19:58 < Ralith> (cya)
00:20:01 < Vilkacis|A1465> (later)
00:20:03 <@Lupin> (Bye!)
00:20:04 < Torrent> (bye)
00:20:12 < Ralith> (is Darkmoon here?)
00:20:23 * Darkmoon isn't sure how extensive the damage is but she thinks that maybe the werewolf will be ok being moved be less people
00:20:27 < Aki> (bye!)
00:20:45 < Darkmoon> (by less *)
00:20:47 < Vilkacis|A1465> "I think as many of us as we can spare ought to stay behind."
00:21:06 < Ralith> "Remember that us newcomers would benefit greatly from a proper breifing."
00:21:16 < Torrent> "Very true"
00:22:14 <@Lupin> (:| have to reboot the downstairs computer)
00:22:21 < Torrent> (doh)
00:22:34 < Ralith> "I don't want to be telling anyone what to do, but perhaps you two should stay behind while we bring the injured to the cafeteria?"
00:22:48 < Torrent> "I'll buy that"
00:22:57 <@Lupin> "Sounds fine with me."
00:23:00 < Torrent> "If that's alright with the others"
00:23:14 * Darkmoon nods, "I need at least two others with me, but the more I have the more comfortable he'll be"
00:24:14 < Torrent> "You take care of yourselves... we'll hold everything up on this end"
00:24:22 < Ralith> "Thanks."
00:24:32 <@Lupin> "Okay. Thanks."
00:24:33 < Ralith> (and with that, I think we can end it. Alright with you all?)
00:24:38 <@Lupin> (Yep)
00:24:42 < Torrent> (sure)
00:24:42 < Aki> (yup)
00:24:43 < Vilkacis|A1465> (Sounds good.)

Nov 19 18:36:40 --- Baphnedia has changed the topic to: Game in Progress. You are welcome to watch. If you want to join, /notice Baphnedia and he may work you in. This is the official chat of www.paradice.net.
Nov 19 18:36:59 <Baphnedia> (Akela are you here?)
Nov 19 18:37:17 <Baphnedia> We left off with the group about to move to the Cafeteria.
Nov 19 18:38:18 <Baphnedia> A627 called over the radio, "Leave three at each post."
Nov 19 18:38:28 <Baphnedia> The wounded were is still on the ground, but stable.
Nov 19 18:38:43 <Baphnedia> Aki's wounds are stable, if his albino fur is a bit bloodied.
Nov 19 18:39:21 <Baphnedia> A were is approaching the group, coming from the cafeteria, holding an M16 with a broken stock.
Nov 19 18:39:51 <Baphnedia> "A1465, I bashed some guy's head in with this thing. Could 'ya fix it?" Says B1223.
Nov 19 18:40:05 <A1465> "Sure. I'll take a look at it."
Nov 19 18:40:20 <-- Akela has quit (Quit: Leaving)
Nov 19 18:40:26 <Baphnedia> B1223 hands you the rifle. The stock is shattered, the ends of the wood colored a deep red.
Nov 19 18:40:31 --> Akela (~Alexander@*.hsd1.mi.comcast.net) has joined #paradice
Nov 19 18:40:34 <Baphnedia> (wb)
Nov 19 18:40:47 <Torrent> "Ha! if this is the rifle I can't imagine the guy's face"
Nov 19 18:40:49 <Baphnedia> (Baphnedia has 1 hour to play)
Nov 19 18:41:16 <Ralith> ( )
Nov 19 18:41:22 * A1465 examines the rifle closely, seeing what he might be able to do about it.
Nov 19 18:41:23 <Baphnedia> "He didn't see me coming." Smiling, the were turns around, heading towards the cafeteria.
Nov 19 18:41:52 <Torrent> "Okay guys tell us if you learn anything new"
Nov 19 18:41:54 <Baphnedia> The rifle just needs a new stock. Otherwise, you shouldn't have to get bent out of shape to fix it.
Nov 19 18:42:01 * Torrent holds his post
Nov 19 18:42:41 <A1465> "I can fix this without too much trouble, when I get back to the armory."
Nov 19 18:43:06 <Baphnedia> "Sounds good, man!"
Nov 19 18:43:10 <Torrent> "Hell of a fight I heard over there"
Nov 19 18:43:43 <Torrent> "Downstairs that is"
Nov 19 18:43:48 <Baphnedia> "O2 is cooking up somethin special for us. Rumor has it that there are a few new food-tasters here. Would all of you be them?"
Nov 19 18:44:02 <Baphnedia> "Yeah, a helluva fight."
Nov 19 18:44:19 <Baphnedia> "Half of my team is in the infirmiry."
Nov 19 18:44:23 <Ralith> "Food tasters?"
Nov 19 18:44:33 <Baphnedia> Speaking of, does this guy need to be moved there?"
Nov 19 18:44:53 * Ralith gives B1223 an incredulous look
Nov 19 18:44:58 <Baphnedia> "Oh, you must be new. We used to have two cooks, because we couldn't trust them with anything else."
Nov 19 18:45:28 <Baphnedia> "It used to be a joke, until O1 made some salad dressing with Wolfsbane."
Nov 19 18:45:37 <Baphnedia> "Which is why we only have O2 as a cook now."
Nov 19 18:45:45 <Ralith> "...ah."
Nov 19 18:46:13 <Ralith> (I'm gald you're using shorter names now )
Nov 19 18:46:22 <Baphnedia> "It never set in anyone's stomachs right, just how that panned out."
Nov 19 18:47:04 <Baphnedia> "Anyhow, you guys need C447 moved to the infirmary?"
Nov 19 18:47:22 * Darkmoon nods
Nov 19 18:48:04 <Baphnedia> "Ok." With that, B1223 slowly picks up the wounded wolf, placing him in a fireman's carry, and heading towards the cafeteria.
Nov 19 18:49:06 * Torrent , at his post, notices a flicker of light coming from the elevator keypad, and his ears perk up before the keypad grows dim again
Nov 19 18:49:41 * Ralith follows behind
Nov 19 18:49:43 * Darkmoon eyes widen at this less than gentle method of moving the wounded werewolf, and she follows him quickly.
Nov 19 18:50:43 * Torrent radios to the other group... "So is someone workin on this elevator or what? I'm seein the keypad flickering on a bit over here"
Nov 19 18:50:48 <Baphnedia> B1223 bursts into the cafeteria, and moves straight for the staircase.
Nov 19 18:51:19 * Ralith stops and looks around
Nov 19 18:51:25 <Baphnedia> "We use a manual part of the system and pulleys, to deny the humans access."
Nov 19 18:52:08 <Torrent> "Hmm... soooo... the fact that it's telling me the thing is moving up... is that supposed to be happening?"
Nov 19 18:52:32 <Baphnedia> A small number of weres walk into the cafeteria, following B1223, who is carrying a wounded wolf. (descriptions please) The room is crowded with many wolves seated or getting coffee, or generally not getting anything done. They seem to be waiting for something.
Nov 19 18:52:57 * Darkmoon doesn't stop and follows B1223, wanting to ensure that the wounded werewolf is settled before she returns to the cafeteria
Nov 19 18:53:10 <Baphnedia> "Yes. The elevator didn't crash - we usually keep it between the 3rd and 1st levels during an attack."
Nov 19 18:53:20 * Ralith searches for somewhere to sit
Nov 19 18:53:21 <Baphnedia> "We're sending up the relief for the Greeter."
Nov 19 18:53:21 <Torrent> "Roger"
Nov 19 18:53:35 <Torrent> "Got it"
Nov 19 18:53:59 <Baphnedia> The greeter responds on the radio, "About time you tards! God, I thought you were just trying to spite me! On the good side, I've won a few more hands of solitaire while I was waiting."
Nov 19 18:54:17 <Aki> "Heh..."
Nov 19 18:54:23 * Torrent chuckles... "What a character..."
Nov 19 18:54:26 <Baphnedia> There are open seats at several tables.
Nov 19 18:54:39 * Ralith takes a seat at the nearest
Nov 19 18:55:11 * Aki does likewise
Nov 19 18:55:51 <Baphnedia> Ralith and Aki are sitting next to a small group of muscle-bound weres. One of them remarks, "You in my pack?"
Nov 19 18:56:27 <Ralith> "We're from outside."
Nov 19 18:56:37 <Baphnedia> A627 turns his head in your table's direction.
Nov 19 18:57:04 * Ralith looks up towards him
Nov 19 18:57:05 <Baphnedia> The werewolf replies, "Outside? None of us are outside. That's the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard."
Nov 19 18:57:19 <Baphnedia> A627 seems to just be observing at the moment.
Nov 19 18:57:49 <Aki> "Beleive it or not, there are - you just haven't had the opurtunity to meet some until now."
Nov 19 18:58:02 <Baphnedia> "Hmmph."
Nov 19 18:58:12 * Ralith remains focused on A627. "We're natural werewolves."
Nov 19 18:58:19 <Baphnedia> "I'll believe it when I see it."
Nov 19 18:58:29 <Baphnedia> I don't feel natural. This isn't a natural place."
Nov 19 18:58:42 <Ralith> "And we're not from it."
Nov 19 18:58:52 <Ralith> "You'll believe it when you see it? Look at me."
Nov 19 18:59:18 <Baphnedia> "I am looking at you." This gruff werewolf replies.
Nov 19 18:59:24 <Baphnedia> At this point A627 stands up.
Nov 19 18:59:40 <Ralith> "I don't know what this corporation's been doing to you, or how you were created, but we were born this way."
Nov 19 19:00:01 <Ralith> "Or bitten, in the case of a few."
Nov 19 19:00:21 * Darkmoon ears flick toward the rest of her packmates and she abandons her pursuit of B1223 and wanders over to stand behind them, realizing that she may very well be the only female in this place, which is proof enough that they come from outside.
Nov 19 19:00:36 <Baphnedia> A627 intergects himself into the conversation. "Quiet. B369."
Nov 19 19:00:46 <Baphnedia> B369 looks at darkmoon and sniffs the air.
Nov 19 19:01:01 <Ralith> "Believe us now?"
Nov 19 19:01:01 <Baphnedia> An unusual expression crosses his face.
Nov 19 19:01:22 * Aki raises a eyebrow...
Nov 19 19:01:42 <Baphnedia> B369 looks at A627 before opening his maw, "Erm. Yeah."
Nov 19 19:01:53 <Ralith> "Good."
Nov 19 19:02:04 * Ralith returns his focus to A627 again.
Nov 19 19:02:26 <Baphnedia> A627 speaks.
Nov 19 19:03:23 <Baphnedia> "There was a point behind that attack.
Nov 19 19:03:36 <Baphnedia> I want three groups to go and find out what it is.
Nov 19 19:03:50 <Baphnedia> One group to check Silo A.
Nov 19 19:03:55 <Baphnedia> One group to check Silo B
Nov 19 19:04:08 <Baphnedia> One group to go down the elevator shaft.
Nov 19 19:04:43 <Baphnedia> In the silos, I want to know that all of that biological weapon is still in the missles.
Nov 19 19:04:59 <Baphnedia> Which means that someone who has been in there, needs to go on each team.
Nov 19 19:05:40 <Baphnedia> However, since I think that they've been moving the weapon elsewhere, I would like the third group to find their exit.
Nov 19 19:06:22 <Baphnedia> It may be a lot more fun to trap them down there, starve them to death if we have to.
Nov 19 19:06:42 <Baphnedia> We cannot afford the possibility that..."
Nov 19 19:06:53 <Baphnedia> A small red light in the wall begins to blink.
Nov 19 19:06:56 * Torrent offers some water back at the post to A1465... "I hope we've got ourselves a plan, and a bit of luck too. "
Nov 19 19:07:03 <Ralith> "What's that?"
Nov 19 19:07:22 * Ralith feels a growing sense of foreboding
Nov 19 19:07:22 <Baphnedia> A small clock next to it blips on with 60:00:00
Nov 19 19:07:39 * A1465 accepts the water and takes a swig, "Luck favors the well-prepared."
Nov 19 19:07:59 <Baphnedia> "Crap. Well, I knew that they'd reroute power to their controls sooner or later. THe doors are still closed, but I guess that doesn't matter any more."
Nov 19 19:08:11 <Torrent> "I have a feeling we're about to find out how well prepared both sides are."
Nov 19 19:08:18 <Baphnedia> "Change in plans."
Nov 19 19:08:28 * Ralith stands. "I might be able to do something with the launch and detonator electronics."
Nov 19 19:08:34 <Baphnedia> "Group 3, you are still to find their exit and take control of it."
Nov 19 19:08:37 <Ralith> "Are the silos safe?"
Nov 19 19:08:57 <Baphnedia> "No. We don't control them, and there's not a lot of cover in them."
Nov 19 19:09:35 <Baphnedia> "Group 3, you will consist of all the new guys, including the ones that are holding at the elevator."
Nov 19 19:09:44 <Baphnedia> "I will send replacements to hold that position."
Nov 19 19:09:49 <Ralith> "I won't be able to do anything without being in there unless someone happens to have a detailed wiring plan for the place. How hard would it be to take them?"
Nov 19 19:10:08 * A1465 just grunts.
Nov 19 19:10:23 <Ralith> "Wouldn't it be best if we could remove the threat for good?"
Nov 19 19:10:30 * Torrent begins nervously flipping a coin he found on the floor
Nov 19 19:10:31 <Baphnedia> "B369, you will be in charge of groups 1 and 2."
Nov 19 19:10:57 * Ralith sighs and sits down
Nov 19 19:11:07 <Baphnedia> "Groups 1 and 2, you have the mission of disabling those missles. I don't care how you do it."
Nov 19 19:11:39 <Baphnedia> "Once the missles are disabled, and we can block their exit, then we will all form one assualt team set to overload their reactor."
Nov 19 19:11:55 <Baphnedia> "I'm telling you this now, because I might not be alive when you all get back."
Nov 19 19:12:18 <Baphnedia> "Do not let them know that, that is our ultimate purpose."
Nov 19 19:13:04 <Baphnedia> "Akela, you and A1465 will go with the outsiders in group 3.
Nov 19 19:13:15 <Baphnedia> "I will take group 1. B369 will take group 2."
Nov 19 19:13:33 * Darkmoon sighs with relief when she realizes that B369 won't be traveling with them. She looks apprehensively at the others before shouldering her gun and medpack.
Nov 19 19:13:42 <Baphnedia> The control group will stay here and jam the doors, and do anything else it takes to keep them out of our territories."
Nov 19 19:13:47 * Torrent stops flipping the coin, and angrily throws it down the hallway
Nov 19 19:13:59 <Baphnedia> (oops)
Nov 19 19:14:07 <Baphnedia> "Torrent, you will be in group 3."
Nov 19 19:14:14 <Ralith> (over radio?)
Nov 19 19:14:15 <Torrent> (I figured)
Nov 19 19:14:31 <Torrent> (yes I'm by the elevator)
Nov 19 19:14:55 * Torrent looks to A1465 "Godspeed"
Nov 19 19:14:56 <Baphnedia> "Take a radio with you, but do not use it, unless you are the last survivor. Otherwise, keep radio silence until you return. We will not respond by radio and give away our position."
Nov 19 19:15:45 <Baphnedia> "If you're on lvl 7 or higher, you can use the radio. But, below level 7, we have to raise the power of our transmitter, and we don't like doing that."
Nov 19 19:16:04 <Baphnedia> "So long as they don't know where our main radio is, they can't screw with our communications."
Nov 19 19:16:53 <Baphnedia> Group 3, head up to the infirmary before you head out. We have eyeballs and fingers in freezepacks to gain access to some of the restricted areas."
Nov 19 19:17:01 <Baphnedia> "An eye for an eye, a nail for a nail."
Nov 19 19:17:40 <Baphnedia> The clock reads $58:16:00
Nov 19 19:17:50 <Baphnedia> *58:16:00
Nov 19 19:18:15 <Baphnedia> "Move out!"
Nov 19 19:18:52 <Baphnedia> Groups one and two assemble quickly in the cafeteria. No formation, but just a gather. They start talking strategy and whatnot. Many of them leave their weapons sitting on tables or chairs.
Nov 19 19:20:35 <Baphnedia> A627 moves over to one of the clusters, B369 moves to the other cluster of wolves, and the din of preparation is getting louder.
Nov 19 19:20:49 <Baphnedia> !d60
Nov 19 19:20:50 <Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d60 for a total of 58.
Nov 19 19:21:02 <Baphnedia> 57:58:00
Nov 19 19:21:29 * Darkmoon checks her equipment one more time, slinging the backpack on and hooking her knife in one of the outside loops. She looks up at the others in her group questioningly.
Nov 19 19:22:04 * Ralith stands. "So where shall we start?"
Nov 19 19:22:48 <Aki> "Well, we're the group heading down the elevator shaft. So there I guess."
Nov 19 19:22:48 <Baphnedia> B1223 walks over.
Nov 19 19:23:00 * Torrent awaits the group's return along with A1465 by the elevator
Nov 19 19:23:03 <Ralith> (no, we're the group looking for an exit >.<)
Nov 19 19:23:19 <Baphnedia> "The other groups are using ventilation shafts."
Nov 19 19:23:37 <Baphnedia> "The elevator shaft is probably the quickest way down."
Nov 19 19:23:56 <Baphnedia> "I've got to go though, I'm supposed to replace the greeter."
Nov 19 19:24:09 <Baphnedia> B1223 walks down the hallway to A1465.
Nov 19 19:24:26 * A1465 notices him coming and acknowledges his presence.
Nov 19 19:24:29 * Ralith looks around for whoever's supposed to be leading this group
Nov 19 19:24:44 <Baphnedia> "A1465, mind calling the elevator down to us? I've got to replace the greeter."
Nov 19 19:25:19 <A1465> "Torrent, mind if I borrow that radio for a moment?"
Nov 19 19:25:28 * Torrent looks to A1465 and B1223, handing over the radio
Nov 19 19:25:51 <Baphnedia> !howl
Nov 19 19:25:51 * Lycaon howls loudly, "AWOoOOooOooOooooooooooooo!"
Nov 19 19:25:57 <Baphnedia> The greeter is howling
Nov 19 19:26:21 * Torrent looks upwards
Nov 19 19:26:21 <A1465> "Hey! Can we get the elevator down here?"
Nov 19 19:26:40 <Baphnedia> "Yeah, sure. We'll be down there in a sec!"
Nov 19 19:26:56 <A1465> "Good."
Nov 19 19:27:01 <Baphnedia> You hear the clanging of equipment being loaded on the elevator.
Nov 19 19:27:08 * A1465 hands the radio back to Torrent.
Nov 19 19:27:16 <A1465> "Thanks."
Nov 19 19:27:26 <Baphnedia> B1223: "Thanks A1465."
Nov 19 19:27:32 <Baphnedia> The elevator starts moving down.
Nov 19 19:27:32 * Torrent puts the radio back away
Nov 19 19:27:40 * A1465 grunts his acknowledgement.
Nov 19 19:27:51 <Baphnedia> (the other groups in the cafeteria go downstairs)
Nov 19 19:28:13 <Baphnedia> (groups 1 and 2)
Nov 19 19:29:12 <Baphnedia> The noisy elevator stops. The three of you manning the post see several men in fatigues begin carrying boxes to the armory.
Nov 19 19:29:24 <Baphnedia> B1223 gets on the elevator.
Nov 19 19:29:45 <Torrent> "Do it up"
Nov 19 19:29:57 <Baphnedia> "roger."
Nov 19 19:30:14 <Baphnedia> The elevator starts taking B1223 up."
Nov 19 19:30:24 <Baphnedia> He winks at no one in particular
Nov 19 19:30:53 * Baphnedia wonders when the group will get together....
Nov 19 19:31:15 <Lupin> (Hi)
Nov 19 19:31:16 * Torrent awaits the group's return
Nov 19 19:31:19 <Baphnedia> he rises out of sight in the dark shaft.
Nov 19 19:31:29 <A1465> (Hiya', Lupin)
Nov 19 19:31:37 <Baphnedia> (hiya, you're in the cafeteria)
Nov 19 19:31:43 <A1465> (Wait)
Nov 19 19:31:47 <Baphnedia> (with darkmoon, ralith and aki)
Nov 19 19:31:56 <A1465> (Weren't there supposed to be 3 by the elevator?)
Nov 19 19:32:05 <A1465> (So, he would've stayed?)
Nov 19 19:32:16 <Baphnedia> (wounded werewolf, A1465 and Torrent)
Nov 19 19:32:21 <A1465> (k)
Nov 19 19:32:48 <Baphnedia> (or Lupin can be the third, since the wounded were was taken away)
Nov 19 19:32:59 <A1465> (Those were my thoughts)
Nov 19 19:33:09 <Baphnedia> (Lupin, choice is yours, where you start - elevator or cafeteria)
Nov 19 19:33:23 <Lupin> (Cafeteria)
Nov 19 19:33:27 <Ralith> (we took the wounded were with us, didn't we?)
Nov 19 19:33:32 <Lupin> (Yes)
Nov 19 19:33:33 <Baphnedia> (yes)
Nov 19 19:33:33 <Torrent> (yes)
Nov 19 19:33:40 <Lupin> (Let me just cactch up...)
Nov 19 19:34:06 <A1465> (We'll be meeting back up in just a second, so I suppose it doesn't really matter either way)
Nov 19 19:34:06 * Baphnedia imposes a 5 minute (or when he's done) little men's room break.
Nov 19 19:36:51 <Lupin> (Okay, caught up.)
Nov 19 19:38:17 * Baphnedia resumes
Nov 19 19:38:35 <Baphnedia> !d60
Nov 19 19:38:35 <Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d60 for a total of 55.
Nov 19 19:38:43 <Baphnedia> 56:55
Nov 19 19:39:00 * Torrent stares at the number on his arm while waiting for the rest of the group to return
Nov 19 19:39:29 <Torrent> "Funny... to them we're just a number... nothing more..."
Nov 19 19:39:55 <Baphnedia> !d60
Nov 19 19:39:55 <Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d60 for a total of 28.
Nov 19 19:40:02 <Baphnedia> 55:28
Nov 19 19:40:09 <Ralith> (that was fast)
Nov 19 19:40:45 <Baphnedia> (I'm going slower than realtime... mostly... the more typing I have to do, the more time between intervals)
Nov 19 19:40:50 * Ralith looks around, trying to get an idea of where he's supposed to be
Nov 19 19:40:53 * A1465 shifts his weight from one leg to another.
Nov 19 19:41:01 <A1465> "Sure are taking long enough."
Nov 19 19:41:10 <Baphnedia> A1465 has a watch.
Nov 19 19:41:27 <Torrent> "Yup. I hope everything's going o.k. over there"
Nov 19 19:41:50 -Baphnedia- You're supposed to get together with the rest of the party at the elevator.
Nov 19 19:42:01 * Ralith heads to the elevator
Nov 19 19:42:07 <Ralith> (I'll brb)
Nov 19 19:42:08 <A1465> "It's been nearly 5 hours since they left."
Nov 19 19:42:34 <Baphnedia> A1465's watch says 54:47
Nov 19 19:42:40 <Torrent> "Is that all?"
Nov 19 19:42:50 <A1465> (well, now more than 5 hours...)
Nov 19 19:43:00 * Torrent smirks sarcastically
Nov 19 19:43:31 <Torrent> "They did say they were coming back over here right?"
Nov 19 19:43:42 <Baphnedia> Ralith arrives (eventhough he's AFK).
Nov 19 19:43:50 <Baphnedia> at the elevator.
Nov 19 19:44:04 * Baphnedia pokes all users.
Nov 19 19:44:07 <Ralith> (back)
Nov 19 19:44:09 <A1465> "About time," A1465 swears.
Nov 19 19:44:11 <Lupin> (Hm?)
Nov 19 19:44:14 * Darkmoon is following the group
Nov 19 19:44:20 <Aki> (*pokes back*)
Nov 19 19:44:26 <Torrent> "Shoot I was getting anxious here"
Nov 19 19:44:27 <Baphnedia> Darkmoon arrives with Ralith
Nov 19 19:44:33 * Baphnedia gets poked.
Nov 19 19:44:48 <A1465> "I hope you thought to bring some food!"
Nov 19 19:44:52 <Ralith> (5 minutes, not hours )
Nov 19 19:44:55 <Baphnedia> (cafeteria crew - are you gonna clean the dishes or what?!)
Nov 19 19:45:01 <A1465> "No matter how terrible. I'm starved."
Nov 19 19:45:10 * Ralith looks embarassed. "Food? All I saw was some drinks."
Nov 19 19:45:29 <Torrent> "I could've sworn I smelled something cooking..."
Nov 19 19:45:32 <Baphnedia> (Baphnedia forgot to introduce O2 while in the cafeteria.)
Nov 19 19:45:43 <Baphnedia> (O2 is cooking something.)
Nov 19 19:45:49 <Ralith> (Ah.)
Nov 19 19:46:03 <Baphnedia> (the vampire's favorite dish - stakes.)
Nov 19 19:46:17 <Aki> (heh!)
Nov 19 19:46:18 <Torrent> "Well no matter we have work to do"
Nov 19 19:46:20 <A1465> (Probably just as deadly)
Nov 19 19:46:32 <Lupin> (Haha)
Nov 19 19:46:43 <Baphnedia> (Aki and Lupin, did you two go to the elevator?)
Nov 19 19:47:06 <Aki> (yup)
Nov 19 19:47:09 <Lupin> (I think so, yes.)
Nov 19 19:47:25 <Baphnedia> (please say so - I was waiting on yas)
Nov 19 19:47:29 <Baphnedia> Everyone is at the elevator
Nov 19 19:47:39 <A1465> (Woo!)
Nov 19 19:47:42 <Baphnedia> Half of whom know the mission.
Nov 19 19:48:28 <Ralith> (Lupin, as our old leader, I think it's your job to take the responsibility to explain.)
Nov 19 19:48:34 <A1465> "So, what were the lot of you taking your sweet time doing in there?"
Nov 19 19:48:50 <Lupin> (:| I'm still playing catch-up.)
Nov 19 19:49:15 <Torrent> "Indeed."
Nov 19 19:49:34 <Ralith> (thought you said you were done)
Nov 19 19:49:37 <Torrent> "So what are we gonna do?"
Nov 19 19:49:53 <Torrent> (5 minute warning for me)
Nov 19 19:50:01 <Baphnedia> (gotcha)
Nov 19 19:50:17 <Lupin> "They've restored power to the doors."
Nov 19 19:50:43 <Baphnedia> (btw, once a player leaves, the character becomes invincible, but also cannot affect what is going on. If he has some key equipment, like a radio, then that stays with the group.)
Nov 19 19:51:08 <Darkmoon> "And we are charged with the task of locating and blocking the exit of our human..'.friends' "
Nov 19 19:51:12 <Torrent> (ok)
Nov 19 19:51:38 <Torrent> "Sounded reasonably complicated enough"
Nov 19 19:51:58 <Lupin> "We're also sending out two groups to disable the missiles."
Nov 19 19:52:50 * A1465 nods in acknowledgement.
Nov 19 19:53:13 <Lupin> (Anything that I've missed?)
Nov 19 19:53:29 * Baphnedia has no idea.
Nov 19 19:53:51 <A1465> (We're supposed to go down the elevator shaft.)
Nov 19 19:54:02 <Ralith> "So how deep are we going?"
Nov 19 19:54:13 <Torrent> (time to go... I'll catch the logs later)
Nov 19 19:54:18 <A1465> (Later)
Nov 19 19:54:19 <Baphnedia> 53:13
Nov 19 19:54:22 <-- Torrent has quit (Quit: IceChat IRC Client - http://www.icechat.net)
Nov 19 19:54:24 <Baphnedia> (later)
Nov 19 19:54:26 <Baphnedia> (ack)
Nov 19 19:55:01 <Baphnedia> There is an upward draft coming from the elevator shaft.
Nov 19 19:55:15 <Baphnedia> It smells of blood, charred flesh, and gunpowder.
Nov 19 19:56:21 <Lupin> (The work of Ralith's rambo streak?)
Nov 19 19:56:27 <Aki> "Eck."
Nov 19 19:56:27 <Ralith> (hehe)
Nov 19 19:56:35 <A1465> "We ought to drop by the armory before we take off anywhere."
Nov 19 19:56:52 <A1465> "At the very least, I have something to drop off."
Nov 19 19:57:05 <Lupin> "Hmm, I wonder what that could be."
Nov 19 19:57:06 * A1465 indicates the rifle with the broken stock.
Nov 19 19:57:27 <Ralith> "Did the team sent for weaponry return?"
Nov 19 19:58:33 <Ralith> (gah, dinner, bbiab)
Nov 19 19:58:34 <A1465> "A team came and dragged several boxes to the armory."
Nov 19 19:58:53 <A1465> "That's all I know."
Nov 19 19:58:54 <Darkmoon> (dinner for me too..gotta go)
Nov 19 19:59:04 <Baphnedia> (ack - who's left?)
Nov 19 19:59:08 <Lupin> (I am)
Nov 19 19:59:17 <A1465> (me, too)
Nov 19 19:59:31 <Baphnedia> (Akela?)
Nov 19 19:59:37 * Akela Wakes up
Nov 19 19:59:40 <Baphnedia> (Aki?)
Nov 19 19:59:51 <Akela> Heh heh, sorry guys I fell asleep a while ago
Nov 19 19:59:56 <Baphnedia> (lets keep going)
Nov 19 20:00:11 <Baphnedia> (gee thanks. ;) )
Nov 19 20:00:29 <Baphnedia> 52:48
Nov 19 20:01:04 <Aki> (I'm here)
Nov 19 20:01:50 <Baphnedia> The team emerges from the Armory and calls up B1223 on the radio, "We're ready for the next load."
Nov 19 20:02:24 <A1465> (The box-carrying team?)
Nov 19 20:02:48 <Lupin> (Is that the helicopter team from earlier?)
Nov 19 20:02:49 <Baphnedia> (yes)
Nov 19 20:02:53 <Baphnedia> (yes)
Nov 19 20:02:54 <A1465> (k)
Nov 19 20:03:06 <Baphnedia> "So guys, umm, what's up?"
Nov 19 20:04:22 <Baphnedia> The elevator makes it's trek down, several boxes loaded on to it.
Nov 19 20:04:38 <Baphnedia> As it arrives, the soldiers immediately pick up the boxes and carry them to the armory.
Nov 19 20:05:12 <Baphnedia> 51:37
Nov 19 20:05:42 * Lupin follows the team to the armory.
Nov 19 20:06:14 <Baphnedia> The team just stacks the boxes in a back room, and turns around for more. "Would you like to help us?"
Nov 19 20:06:30 <Lupin> "Sure."
Nov 19 20:06:55 <Aki> "Whats in the boxes?"
Nov 19 20:06:58 * A1465 grumbles under his breath.
Nov 19 20:07:05 <Baphnedia> "Ok." The team emerges from the armory again, and calls for the elevator. The elevator starts rising, empty.
Nov 19 20:07:19 <Baphnedia> 50:55
Nov 19 20:07:26 <Baphnedia> "Ammo mostly."
Nov 19 20:07:57 <Baphnedia> "A couple of replacement stocks, lubrication oil, etc."
Nov 19 20:08:45 * A1465 rummages around, gathering the supplies he needs.
Nov 19 20:09:18 <Baphnedia> The army base supply guys asked us what we use so much ammo for. We told them that we're hunting werewolves.
Nov 19 20:09:37 <A1465> "Hah!"
Nov 19 20:09:57 <Lupin> "Heh."
Nov 19 20:10:11 <Baphnedia> "Joke's on them."
Nov 19 20:10:21 <Baphnedia> 49:34
Nov 19 20:10:28 <Ralith> (back)
Nov 19 20:10:28 <Aki> "Hhehe"
Nov 19 20:10:32 * A1465 sits down for a few minutes, and takes his time dismantling and repairing the broken rifle.
Nov 19 20:10:49 <Lupin> "Well, it is techically correct, which is the best kind of correctness. We are werewolves, and we are hunting."
Nov 19 20:11:05 <Baphnedia> (wb)
Nov 19 20:11:44 -Baphnedia- you might want to take charge - they've been sitting and joking while you've been gone.
Nov 19 20:11:45 <Ralith> "Heh."
Nov 19 20:11:54 >Baphnedia< yeah, just caught up.
Nov 19 20:11:54 <Baphnedia> 48:58
Nov 19 20:12:10 <Ralith> "Let's all load up on ammo and get moving."
Nov 19 20:12:30 <Darkmoon> (back)
Nov 19 20:12:41 <Baphnedia> One of the soldiers asks, "Y'all going on a mission? Good luck then. We'll be here when you get back!"
Nov 19 20:12:41 * A1465 finishes up with the rifle, and places it with the rest of the M16's in the armory.
Nov 19 20:12:44 <Ralith> (are you following me, Darkmoon?)
Nov 19 20:12:57 <Akela> (Darkmoon is AFK)
Nov 19 20:13:04 <Ralith> (read up a few lines)
Nov 19 20:13:18 <Ralith> (she leaves when I leave, comes back when I come back... o.O)
Nov 19 20:13:31 <A1465> (Would there be any of this M16 cum grenade-launcher ammo around here?)
Nov 19 20:13:37 <Baphnedia> (I think she's wathcing you Ralith)
Nov 19 20:13:54 <Darkmoon> (yes...I'm stalking you...you've discoved my evil plot *evil laugh*)
Nov 19 20:14:02 <Baphnedia> (yeah, you pick up a bandolier of 12 rounds)
Nov 19 20:14:13 <Ralith> (ooo... enough for some real havok-wreaking)
Nov 19 20:14:23 <Baphnedia> 47:44
Nov 19 20:14:53 * A1465 digs around for a moment before coming back up with a bandolier of ammo for his grenade launcher.
Nov 19 20:15:05 <A1465> "Heh."
Nov 19 20:15:24 * A1465 eyes Ralith warily.
Nov 19 20:15:47 <Ralith> "I'll leave the explosives to you this time. Looks like you've got enough to demolish a building there..."
Nov 19 20:15:56 <Baphnedia> There is a ladder in the elevator shaft.
Nov 19 20:16:16 <A1465> "Yeah. Let's hope it doesn't come to that, now."
Nov 19 20:16:36 <Ralith> "It might just be the best way to seal off their entrance."
Nov 19 20:16:49 <Ralith> "So are we gonna call the elevator, or climb down?"
Nov 19 20:17:13 <A1465> "Climb down."
Nov 19 20:17:23 * Darkmoon pokes her nose back into the armory and picks up a few more knives as well as a ammo for her m16. She then exits the armory and rejoins the group.
Nov 19 20:17:59 * Ralith glances at Darkmoon. "Why all the knives? Your claws aren't just for show, you know."
Nov 19 20:18:09 <Baphnedia> 46:45 with 22 floors (at max) to go.
Nov 19 20:18:29 * Darkmoon snorts. "I'm good at throwing them..." she grumbles softly.
Nov 19 20:18:54 <Ralith> "I suppose that might be useful if for some reason we can't use a rifle."
Nov 19 20:19:08 <A1465> "C'mon. We haven't got all day. If we're going to do this, better now than later."
Nov 19 20:19:14 <Aki> "Yeah"
Nov 19 20:19:25 <Baphnedia> (somebody roll an intelligence check)
Nov 19 20:19:25 * A1465 strides off in the direction of the elevator.
Nov 19 20:19:32 <Baphnedia> (please)
Nov 19 20:19:32 <Ralith> !d20+1
Nov 19 20:19:33 <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 8.
Nov 19 20:19:37 <Ralith> (grah)
Nov 19 20:19:57 <A1465> (Someone else roll an intelligence check :Ppppp)
Nov 19 20:19:58 <Baphnedia> (it might take most of your time to climb down the ladder. There are faster ways of going downward)
Nov 19 20:20:10 <Baphnedia> (someone else roll - that's fine)
Nov 19 20:20:22 <Ralith> "What about that service shaft? Perhaps we could use it?"
Nov 19 20:20:22 <Lupin> !d20+1
Nov 19 20:20:23 <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 12.
Nov 19 20:22:15 <Baphnedia> Rappelling might take about 10 minutes instead of 20 or more to get down.
Nov 19 20:22:52 * A1465 turns around. "You guys coming, or what?"
Nov 19 20:23:25 * Lupin grabs his M16 and some extra ammo and gets up to leve "Yeah."
Nov 19 20:23:45 <Ralith> (Lupin, you gonna suggest the rappelling?)
Nov 19 20:23:58 <Darkmoon> (I'm a rock climber...I do lots of spelunking...lots of rappelling..good yah..know how to set up an anchor yah...)
Nov 19 20:24:02 <Lupin> (Sure)
Nov 19 20:24:06 * Aki grabs a few extra clips of ammo for his M16 and a spare pistol.
Nov 19 20:24:06 * Ralith grabs several clips of ammunition
Nov 19 20:24:23 <Lupin> "How abut we repel down the shaft? It might be faster."
Nov 19 20:24:40 <Aki> "sounds good to me"
Nov 19 20:24:42 <A1465> "Got some rope handy?"
Nov 19 20:25:07 <A1465> "If not, there's some right there in the armory."
Nov 19 20:25:25 <A1465> "But hurry while you're at it."
Nov 19 20:26:24 * Lupin grabs the rope, "Got it."
Nov 19 20:26:58 <Baphnedia> The ladder looks like a sturdy tieoff.
Nov 19 20:28:01 <Ralith> (can you stop giving us such obvious hints? )
Nov 19 20:28:16 <Lupin> (Heh)
Nov 19 20:28:21 <A1465> (Not so obvious, really. The ladder would be a bad place to tie it, wouldn't it?)
Nov 19 20:28:37 <A1465> (You don't want to repel with a ladder under your feet.)
Nov 19 20:28:41 * Darkmoon goes back to the armory to look for gear, she also grabs rope ascenders and descenders as well as locking carabineers for the anchor.
Nov 19 20:28:43 <Akela> (He could say the Ladder looks like it could support about five pounds )
Nov 19 20:29:22 <Baphnedia> (everything I say is based on perception)
Nov 19 20:31:30 <Lupin> (Ah.)
Nov 19 20:31:40 <Baphnedia> The equipment is there at the elevator.
Nov 19 20:32:00 * Darkmoon gets to work setting up an anchor on the ladder.
Nov 19 20:32:05 <Baphnedia> (ack - I misread darkmoon's post!)
Nov 19 20:32:23 <Darkmoon> (hu?)
Nov 19 20:32:26 <Lupin> (Which equipment?)
Nov 19 20:33:20 <Baphnedia> (rappelling equipment)
Nov 19 20:33:28 * Baphnedia smacks himself
Nov 19 20:33:56 <Baphnedia> 45:36
Nov 19 20:34:32 <Ralith> "So how do we do this? I've no experience with mechanically assisted rock climbing, or anything of the sort."
Nov 19 20:35:12 <Lupin> "Darkmoon seems to know what she's doing."
Nov 19 20:35:25 * Darkmoon loops the rope through the heavy nylon anchor, clipping it in place with the carabineers and knotting the ends.
Nov 19 20:37:28 <Ralith> "I'm still at a loss as to what I'm supposed to do."
Nov 19 20:37:53 * Darkmoon tosses harnesses at the group. "Frist put this on."
Nov 19 20:38:11 * Aki puts on the harness
Nov 19 20:38:12 * A1465 starts strapping on the harness.
Nov 19 20:38:13 * Lupin puts his harness on
Nov 19 20:38:21 * Ralith straps it on
Nov 19 20:39:42 <Lupin> "Okay, now what?"
Nov 19 20:40:34 <Darkmoon> "We will use these" she holds up the descenders, which look like metal loops in the shape of figure eights "to lower ourselves down."
Nov 19 20:40:58 <Lupin> !1250-1234
Nov 19 20:40:59 <Lycaon> Lupin rolled 1250 - 1234 for a total of 16.
Nov 19 20:42:32 <Darkmoon> "So who wants to go first?" she asks
Nov 19 20:42:44 <Baphnedia> (do you start going down?)
Nov 19 20:42:54 <A1465> "I'll head down first."
Nov 19 20:42:59 <A1465> (about to?)
Nov 19 20:43:16 <Lupin> "I'll follow after him."
Nov 19 20:43:38 <Aki> "I'll go next"
Nov 19 20:44:09 <Baphnedia> You start going down, bounding off of the side of the elevator shaft. Blood spatters line the walls with many pock marks from shrapnel.
Nov 19 20:44:26 <Ralith> "I guess I'm last, then."
Nov 19 20:44:46 * Ralith descends after the rest of the group
Nov 19 20:45:15 <Baphnedia> Eventually, you return to the 'normal' part of the elevator shaft, where few dings or bullet holes line the shaft.
Nov 19 20:45:33 <Baphnedia> (A1465 roll vision)
Nov 19 20:45:51 <A1465> !d20
Nov 19 20:45:51 <Lycaon> A1465 rolled d20 for a total of 6.
Nov 19 20:45:59 <A1465> ( :/ )
Nov 19 20:46:13 <Baphnedia> There is nothing out of the ordinary.
Nov 19 20:46:20 <Baphnedia> (Lupin roll vision)
Nov 19 20:46:23 <Ralith> "So where're we headed?"
Nov 19 20:46:31 <Lupin> !d20+1
Nov 19 20:46:31 <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 19.
Nov 19 20:46:34 <Aki> "Down."
Nov 19 20:46:42 <Baphnedia> There is nothing out of the ordinary.
Nov 19 20:46:53 <Baphnedia> (Aki roll vision)
Nov 19 20:47:00 <Aki> !d20
Nov 19 20:47:01 <Lycaon> Aki rolled d20 for a total of 17.
Nov 19 20:47:13 <Ralith> "I guessed that much. Any particular distance down, or do we keep going until we hit bottom?"
Nov 19 20:47:14 <Baphnedia> There is nothing out of the ordinary.
Nov 19 20:47:31 <Lupin> (7 werewolves replling down an elevator shaft, yeah, 'ordinary'.)
Nov 19 20:47:33 <Baphnedia> (Ralith roll vision)
Nov 19 20:47:39 <Ralith> !d20+1
Nov 19 20:47:39 <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 4.
Nov 19 20:47:42 <Baphnedia> (haha)
Nov 19 20:47:42 <Ralith> (>.<)
Nov 19 20:48:02 <Baphnedia> Ralith doesn't see seven werewolves.
Nov 19 20:48:25 * Ralith is idly examining the rope
Nov 19 20:48:25 <Aki> (lol)
Nov 19 20:48:34 <Lupin> (Well of course not. He'd only be able to see six.)
Nov 19 20:48:45 <Lupin> (And maybe his own muzzle.)
Nov 19 20:48:50 <Baphnedia> (technicalities, technicalities)
Nov 19 20:49:10 <Baphnedia> The floors pass by smoothly.
Nov 19 20:49:32 <Ralith> (well, having been a werewolf for several years now, spending most of my time in Gestalt, I don't really notice my muzzle anymore.)
Nov 19 20:49:43 <Baphnedia> Some light illuminates across the shaft several floors below as a light is turned on near a door open to the shaft.
Nov 19 20:50:35 * A1465 signals for everyone above to stop. (I hope they're watchin')
Nov 19 20:51:04 * Ralith bumps into Aki and comes to a halt
Nov 19 20:51:13 <Baphnedia> (roll silence)
Nov 19 20:51:17 <Baphnedia> !d20
Nov 19 20:51:17 <Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 8.
Nov 19 20:51:18 * Darkmoon stops
Nov 19 20:51:19 <Ralith> !d20+1 silence
Nov 19 20:51:19 <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 18 silence
Nov 19 20:51:20 <A1465> !d20
Nov 19 20:51:20 <Lycaon> A1465 rolled d20 for a total of 8.
Nov 19 20:51:29 <Baphnedia> (sry just those that bumped)
Nov 19 20:51:33 <Ralith> (yay for the noise muffling properties of fur)
Nov 19 20:51:35 <Lupin> !d20+1 silence
Nov 19 20:51:35 <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 16 silence
Nov 19 20:51:46 <Aki> !d20 Silence
Nov 19 20:51:46 <Lycaon> Aki rolled d20 for a total of 15 Silence
Nov 19 20:51:59 <Ralith> (aki, you get +1 too)
Nov 19 20:52:02 <Aki> Doh
Nov 19 20:52:03 <Lupin> (Oh. whoops)
Nov 19 20:52:11 <Aki> !d20+1 Silence
Nov 19 20:52:11 <Lycaon> Aki rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 15 Silence
Nov 19 20:52:11 * Darkmoon stares down at the bottom
Nov 19 20:52:16 <Aki> (lol)
Nov 19 20:52:19 <A1465> (heh)
Nov 19 20:52:21 <Baphnedia> A shadow of a human is upside down to you, siloutted against one side of the shaft
Nov 19 20:52:22 <Ralith> (whispered) "Whoops. Sorry, should be paying more attention."
Nov 19 20:52:23 <Baphnedia> against the light.
Nov 19 20:52:43 <Baphnedia> he looks up, his rifle held in a relaxed grip.
Nov 19 20:52:47 <Baphnedia> pointing at the wall
Nov 19 20:53:10 <Ralith> (how visible are we?)
Nov 19 20:53:20 <Ralith> (and how uniform is the shaft?)
Nov 19 20:53:31 <Baphnedia> the shaft is dark, but pretty uniform.
Nov 19 20:53:54 * Baphnedia looks for wamer clothes, brb
Nov 19 20:56:18 <Baphnedia> brr!
Nov 19 20:56:43 <Baphnedia> The human walks away. from the shaft. The light remains on, the door remains open.
Nov 19 20:56:44 <Ralith> (*bites Baphnedia*)
Nov 19 20:56:50 <Ralith> (have some fur)
Nov 19 20:57:00 <Baphnedia> (hehe)
Nov 19 20:57:51 * Baphnedia shifts into gestalt and warms up. Then destroys keyboard by using claws to type.
Nov 19 20:58:16 <Baphnedia> The shaft continues below the light.
Nov 19 20:58:16 <Lupin> (Oh great. We need him to be able to type so he can advance the plot.)
Nov 19 20:58:32 <Baphnedia> *beyond the light
Nov 19 20:58:52 <Ralith> (type softly! those claws're sharp!)
Nov 19 20:59:20 * Darkmoon looks at the others, and whispers "We need to remain undetected down here as long as possible...that means holding off on big weaponry until we need it."
Nov 19 20:59:24 <Baphnedia> (I don't know which letters are where anymore! I've got nine keys impaled on my claws!)
Nov 19 20:59:34 <Aki> (onscreen keyboard ^_^ )
Nov 19 20:59:38 <Ralith> (I'm sure you can touchtype by now.)
Nov 19 20:59:55 <Ralith> (the claws should at least make it easier to tap the sensors without a key in place)
Nov 19 21:00:07 * A1465 whispers, "Yes, but the fact still remains, we can't go down until this situation is resolved."
Nov 19 21:00:09 <Baphnedia> (Aye ZZzzzT!)
Nov 19 21:00:11 * A1465 continues,
Nov 19 21:00:28 <A1465> "If we go down, they'll be able to see the ropes, even if we pass safely."
Nov 19 21:00:34 <Ralith> (whispereD) "Anyone got a silencer?"
Nov 19 21:01:10 <Baphnedia> !d1 silencers are in the group
Nov 19 21:01:10 <Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d1 for a total of 1 silencers are in the group
Nov 19 21:01:18 <Lupin> (...)
Nov 19 21:01:28 <Ralith> (...)
Nov 19 21:01:45 <Lupin> (Did you really need to roll a d1 for that?)
Nov 19 21:01:50 * Darkmoon looks down, judging the distance to the ground
Nov 19 21:01:52 <A1465> !8ball Do I have it?
Nov 19 21:01:52 <Lycaon> A1465: The magic 8-ball answers: Do I have it? Don't count on it.
Nov 19 21:02:21 <Ralith> !8 how 'bout me?
Nov 19 21:02:21 <Lycaon> Ralith rolled 8 for a total of 8 how 'bout me?
Nov 19 21:02:28 <Ralith> (er)
Nov 19 21:02:29 <Baphnedia> Past the light, it's indeterminate, since the light keeps you from seeing the end of the shaft.
Nov 19 21:02:33 <Darkmoon> !8ball Do I have it?
Nov 19 21:02:34 <Lycaon> Darkmoon: The magic 8-ball answers: Do I have it? You may rely on it.
Nov 19 21:02:38 <Akela> !8ball Is it in my possesion?
Nov 19 21:02:38 <Lycaon> Akela: The magic 8-ball answers: Is it in my possesion? Better not tell you now.
Nov 19 21:02:45 <Ralith> (there we go)
Nov 19 21:03:17 * Ralith whispers, "Darkmoon! See if you can tell how many of them there are!"
Nov 19 21:03:18 <Baphnedia> you're probably a few floors up from the bottom, when you stopped.
Nov 19 21:02:17 * Darkmoon studies the walls of the elevator shaft to see if there are nice things to climb on
Nov 19 21:04:17 <Baphnedia> There is a nice looking ladder. There are also nice looking vertical Ibeam supports and other things that might also work.
Nov 19 21:05:41 <Darkmoon> After lookinbg at the walls she then tries to see if she can tell how many people are down there.
Nov 19 21:06:40 <Baphnedia> (roll listen)
Nov 19 21:06:51 <Darkmoon> !d20 listen
Nov 19 21:06:52 <Lycaon> Darkmoon rolled d20 for a total of 6 listen
Nov 19 21:06:54 <A1465> (everyone?)
Nov 19 21:07:15 <Lupin> (I think just Darkmoon.)
Nov 19 21:07:18 * Ralith listens carefully in an attempt to estimate the number of guards
Nov 19 21:07:33 <Baphnedia> (roll Raliths)
Nov 19 21:07:38 <Ralith> !d20+1 listen
Nov 19 21:07:39 <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 15 listen
Nov 19 21:07:41 <Baphnedia> (ack *ralith)
Nov 19 21:07:55 <Ralith> (...for a total of 15 raliths )
Nov 19 21:08:04 <Ralith> (*clones self*)
Nov 19 21:08:09 -Baphnedia- You think that there are five guards.
Nov 19 21:08:51 <Aki> (lol)
Nov 19 21:08:55 <A1465> (I, at least, wouldn't mind stopping soon...)
Nov 19 21:08:55 <Ralith> (whispered) "Sounds like there are several of them; if we want to take them out, it'll have to be quick and efficient/"
Nov 19 21:09:28 <Ralith> (how effectively can we fall in gestalt form?)
Nov 19 21:09:49 <Baphnedia> (just as good as anybody else... the landing might go better.)
Nov 19 21:10:41 <Baphnedia> (shall we go ahead and call it a night?)
Nov 19 21:10:45 <Ralith> (that's what I'm referring to. How effectively can we absorb shock?)
Nov 19 21:11:33 <Baphnedia> (there's one way to find out... I think it will hurt a lot. Inertia can kill humans with as little as 7 feet)
Nov 19 21:11:39 <Lupin> (Which floor is this on?)
Nov 19 21:12:04 <Ralith> (only if they roll a 1.)
Nov 19 21:12:15 <A1465> (heh)
Nov 19 21:12:20 <Baphnedia> (23rd floor)

Nov 19 21:12:38 <Ralith> (but being reasonably experienced as a werewolf, don't I get to know at least vaugely how well I can take a fall?)

Nov 19 21:12:49 <-- Darkmoon has quit (Connection reset by peer)
Nov 19 21:12:53 <Lupin> !6*12
Nov 19 21:12:54 <Lycaon> Lupin rolled 6 * 12 for a total of 72.
Nov 19 21:13:00 * Ralith whispers down to A1465, "How many floors does this complex have?"
Nov 19 21:13:00 --- Darkmoon_ is now known as Darkmoon
Nov 19 21:13:11 * A1465 whispers back up, "29."
Nov 19 21:13:12 <Lupin> "29"
Nov 19 21:13:21 <Lupin> (Er.. that was a whisper.)
Nov 19 21:13:29 <Baphnedia> (ok)
Nov 19 21:13:44 <Lupin> (So then we'd fall 6 floors... 72 feet.)
Nov 19 21:14:17 <Baphnedia> (it'll be rather difficult to stand once you land)
Nov 19 21:14:23 <Ralith> (ok, it's a moot point atm, but I'd still like to know how far I can take a well executed fall.)
Nov 19 21:14:40 <Ralith> (as in, prepared, careful launch, landing on all fours with joints bent)
Nov 19 21:15:01 <Baphnedia> (maybe 80 feet - and that's a big stretch)
Nov 19 21:15:16 <Ralith> (alright, I don't trust my luck enough to roll >15 )
Nov 19 21:15:17 <Baphnedia> (this is something that can be done, improbable, but possible)
Nov 19 21:15:56 <Lupin> (Well it's assuming the standard 8ft from floor to ceiling, plus another 4ft for floors and ceilings.)
Nov 19 21:16:00 <Baphnedia> (what are ya gonna do?)
Nov 19 21:16:19 <Ralith> (whispered) "Ideas? We can't go past them without being noticed, we'll have a hard time taking them out without drawing too much attention, and we can't leap safely."
Nov 19 21:16:47 <Baphnedia> (wb Darkmoon)
Nov 19 21:17:35 * Ralith whispers to Darkmoon, "Do you think we could continue down the ladder? If they're being inattentive we might get away with that..."
Nov 19 21:17:53 <Baphnedia> The smell of blood and death is on the wind coming upward through the shaft.
Nov 19 21:18:09 * Lupin whispers, "Could we just close the door?"
Nov 19 21:18:13 <-- Darkmoon has quit (Connection reset by peer)

Nov 19 21:18:37 <Darkmoon> (growl)
Nov 19 21:18:44 <Baphnedia> (wb again)
Nov 19 21:18:48 <Ralith> (did you get my whisper?)
Nov 19 21:19:14 <Lupin> "Well they do close automatically. No-one really thinks about that."
Nov 19 21:19:49 <Ralith> "Oh, it's an automated door?"
Nov 19 21:20:14 * A1465 whispers, "I think it would have closed by now, though."
Nov 19 21:20:44 <Ralith> (just assume whispered until I say otherwise)
Nov 19 21:21:01 <Baphnedia> (I figured as much)
Nov 19 21:21:11 <Ralith> "If it's automatic, they'd likely pass it off as unreliable wireing due to the fighting"
Nov 19 21:21:23 <Ralith> "I think we could get away with it if not caught in the act."
Nov 19 21:21:25 <Lupin> "Makes sense."
Nov 19 21:21:36 <Ralith> (Darkmoon, you with us?)
Nov 19 21:21:46 <Baphnedia> A klaxon sounds momentarily, then it cuts off abruptly.
Nov 19 21:21:47 <Darkmoon> (yup)
Nov 19 21:22:04 <Lupin> "If we get noticed, we just close it, open it, then close it again."
Nov 19 21:22:04 <Baphnedia> The noise echoes up and down the shaft, and the light goes out.
Nov 19 21:22:44 <Ralith> "Well, that took care of our problem for us, I guess. Probably best to ease it shut anyway. I wonder what the alarm was for..."
Nov 19 21:23:00 <Lupin> "Yeah."
Nov 19 21:23:20 * Ralith waits for the group to resume motion
Nov 19 21:23:23 <Darkmoon> "The other goups must be attacking"
Nov 19 21:23:29 <A1465> "we have to hurry, before the emergency lights come on.
Nov 19 21:23:31 <A1465> "
Nov 19 21:23:44 <Lupin> "Okay, let's go."
Nov 19 21:24:12 * A1465 continues to repel downward, closer to the entrance.
Nov 19 21:24:13 * Lupin starts decending again.
Nov 19 21:24:29 * Ralith slides the door shut as he passes
Nov 19 21:24:32 * Darkmoon contines to repel
Nov 19 21:24:42 * Aki follows
Nov 19 21:24:50 <Baphnedia> The emergency lights come on, spilling no light into the shaft.
Nov 19 21:25:11 <Ralith> "Whew."
Nov 19 21:25:17 * A1465 hopes no one was standing around the door to notice that it's now closed.
Nov 19 21:25:36 <A1465> "Let's hurry, I want to get as close to the ground as possible."
Nov 19 21:25:42 * Ralith nods and accelerates
Nov 19 21:25:51 * A1465 rappels faster.
Nov 19 21:26:04 * Darkmoon lets more rope slide through, moving faster
Nov 19 21:26:09 * Lupin descends faster as well.
Nov 19 21:26:18 * Aki also goes faster
Nov 19 21:26:33 <Baphnedia> (everyone roll landing)
Nov 19 21:26:37 <Ralith> (mmm, redundancy)
Nov 19 21:26:37 <A1465> !d20
Nov 19 21:26:37 <Lycaon> A1465 rolled d20 for a total of 15.

Nov 19 21:26:43 <Ralith> !d20+1
Nov 19 21:26:44 <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 5.

Nov 19 21:26:58 <Lycaon> Darkmoon rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 18 landing
Nov 19 21:27:04 <Aki> !d20
Nov 19 21:27:04 <Lycaon> Aki rolled d20 for a total of 6.
Nov 19 21:27:15 <Aki> (Ow..)
Nov 19 21:27:27 <Baphnedia> Everyone except for Lupin and Darkmoon land soflty on the concrete.
Nov 19 21:27:34 <A1465> (uh, oh. We're all gonna' be inna' heap on top of these smelly dead bodies when those two land on us.)
Nov 19 21:27:48 <Darkmoon> (waaaaat i rolled an 18!)
Nov 19 21:27:51 <Baphnedia> Lupin manages to get a foot stuck in the belly of one of the bodies.
Nov 19 21:27:55 <Darkmoon> (hehehe)
Nov 19 21:27:57 <Ralith> (perhaps we're steadied by Lupin and his almost-perfect roll?)
Nov 19 21:28:30 <Baphnedia> Darkmoon's foot crushes (and is covered by) goo from one man's chest cavity, his heart squishing between her toes.
Nov 19 21:29:08 <Baphnedia> Most of the others get a little blood on their footpads, as blood is everywhere.
Nov 19 21:29:47 * Ralith resumes speaking in a normal volume
Nov 19 21:29:47 * Darkmoon makes a face amd tries not to puke.
Nov 19 21:29:49 * Lupin looks at his foot. "Great."
Nov 19 21:29:50 <Baphnedia> (I wonder if I shoulda placed cow pie down here...)
Nov 19 21:29:52 <Aki> "Hey, I think we found those guys Ralith blew ta hell..."
Nov 19 21:30:26 <Ralith> "Heh. You're going to have to learn to be a little less squeamish, Darkmoon..."
Nov 19 21:31:02 <Lupin> "Remember, these people were trying to kill us."
Nov 19 21:31:14 * A1465 is glad he's in human form. The stench is bad enough as-is.
Nov 19 21:31:20 * A1465 wrinkles his nose.
Nov 19 21:31:25 <Baphnedia> Two feets are sogged in blood and other fluids.
Nov 19 21:31:29 <A1465> "Smells like they're still tryin'."
Nov 19 21:31:57 * Darkmoon has a deep desire to get away
Nov 19 21:32:08 * Ralith turns to Darkmoon. "There's going to be a lot more of this before the day's out. Not to mention that your digestive tract is now much happier with fresh meat."
Nov 19 21:32:20 <Ralith> "Than what you're used to, that is."
Nov 19 21:32:51 <A1465> (Where's the exit in relation to us? Slightly above? Closed?)
Nov 19 21:33:16 <Baphnedia> There is a pair of elevator doors about 6ft up, and they are closed.
Nov 19 21:33:24 <Ralith> "You'll find fruit and such to be quite inappetizing."
Nov 19 21:33:41 <Lupin> "So what is on the 29th floor?"
Nov 19 21:33:42 <Baphnedia> There is a little sliver of emergency light peeking through the gap to place a line of light on the far wall of the shaft.
Nov 19 21:34:00 * Darkmoon cruls her nose up and shudders
Nov 19 21:34:13 <Ralith> "You'll have to get used to it eventually."
Nov 19 21:34:19 * Ralith attempts to clamber up to the doors
Nov 19 21:34:28 <Aki> "Looks like the door's busted...usually they don't have gaps like that.."
Nov 19 21:34:45 * Lupin looks at Darkmoon, "You're still thinking with a human nose. This doesn't smell as bad as you think."

Nov 19 21:35:35 <Lupin> (Hey)
Nov 19 21:35:41 <Ralith> "If it weren't for the scorching, it might even be appetizing. Don't try to apply your old human prejudices to scents."
Nov 19 21:36:50 <Ralith> (should I roll for climb success?)
Nov 19 21:36:55 * Darkmoon pulls her foot up and shakes it off
Nov 19 21:36:55 <Baphnedia> The feet that were stuck in the corpses are quite gooey.
Nov 19 21:36:59 <Baphnedia> (nah)
Nov 19 21:37:17 * Ralith perks his ears, listening carefully while simultaneously trying to get a view through the gap
Nov 19 21:37:18 <A1465> "We shouldn't have any trouble forcing the door open, but we should be cautious."
Nov 19 21:37:31 * Lupin wipes off his back leg on one of the shaft walls.
Nov 19 21:37:33 -Baphnedia- roll listen
Nov 19 21:37:40 <Ralith> !d20+1 listen
Nov 19 21:37:40 <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 19 listen
Nov 19 21:37:45 <Ralith> (:D)
Nov 19 21:38:14 -Baphnedia- there is the noise of a high pitched whrrr, and a slight breeze coming through the gap.
Nov 19 21:38:40 <Baphnedia> Some of the blood and guts come off onto the concrete wall of the shaft.
Nov 19 21:38:58 <Ralith> "Sounds like some sort of machinery; might just be ventilation."
Nov 19 21:39:05 <Ralith> (Do I see anything through the gap?)
Nov 19 21:39:36 -Baphnedia- you see the edges of a lit hallway and a doorway ahead.
Nov 19 21:39:45 >Baphnedia< empty?
Nov 19 21:39:48 <Baphnedia> (/noticed raltih)
Nov 19 21:39:53 -Baphnedia- yes
Nov 19 21:40:13 <Ralith> "Can't see anything from here; there's another doorway. Shall I lever these open?"
Nov 19 21:40:38 <A1465> "Just a second."
Nov 19 21:40:46 * A1465 climbs up beside Ralith.
Nov 19 21:40:54 <A1465> "Okay, let's go."
Nov 19 21:41:04 * Ralith heaves on the one half of the door
Nov 19 21:41:14 * A1465 heaves equally on the other half.
Nov 19 21:41:18 -Baphnedia- roll strength
Nov 19 21:41:27 <Ralith> !d20+1
Nov 19 21:41:27 <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 20.
Nov 19 21:41:29 <A1465> !d20
Nov 19 21:41:29 <Lycaon> A1465 rolled d20 for a total of 5.
Nov 19 21:41:32 <A1465> ack
Nov 19 21:41:35 <A1465> (ack*)
Nov 19 21:41:43 <A1465> (maybe not so equally )
Nov 19 21:42:18 <Baphnedia> Ralith pulls his half of the door wide open, causing light to spill on the gorey mess that is Darkmoon and Lupin. A1465 barely made his side budge.
Nov 19 21:42:35 * Ralith smiles slightly to himself
Nov 19 21:42:40 <A1465> "Grr. I think it's stuck."
Nov 19 21:42:44 <Aki> "Heh. Sure."
Nov 19 21:42:49 <Ralith> "This is wide enough."
Nov 19 21:42:51 * Ralith climbs through
Nov 19 21:43:00 <Baphnedia> Darkmoon and Lupin have splattermarks of blood all over their legs, mainly on whatever foot got stuck in any of the five bodies at the bottom of the shaft.
Nov 19 21:43:04 * A1465 follows right after.
Nov 19 21:43:14 <Ralith> "See, having more experienced werewolves on your team has benefits."
Nov 19 21:43:30 * Darkmoon puts a knife between her teeth and climbs up.
Nov 19 21:43:38 <A1465> "At least I can shoot a grenade launcher without killin' folks."
Nov 19 21:43:50 <A1465> (/me facepalms)
Nov 19 21:43:52 <Baphnedia> The room you're in is a single metal door, that opens like an elevator door. Obviously reinforced.
Nov 19 21:43:54 <Lupin> "Uh, isn't that a bad thing."
Nov 19 21:44:09 <Baphnedia> (lol)
Nov 19 21:44:10 <A1465> "Teammates," A1465 growls.
Nov 19 21:44:15 <Ralith> "And I can use one to take out the entire force assaulting us."
Nov 19 21:44:16 * Ralith grins
Nov 19 21:44:28 <Ralith> "Hey, noone got any unrecoverable injuries."
Nov 19 21:44:29 <Baphnedia> Next to the door is a retinal scanner, so you think.
Nov 19 21:44:38 <Baphnedia> It consists of a small camera behind glass.
Nov 19 21:44:45 <Ralith> "Anyone grab a frozen eye?"
Nov 19 21:45:00 <Lupin> "Hm, looks like the one at the entrance.
Nov 19 21:45:27 * Darkmoon looks around the room for security cameras
Nov 19 21:45:32 <Ralith> "I guess not."
Nov 19 21:45:43 <A1465> "Well, we can always grab one from those bodies in the shaft."
Nov 19 21:45:55 <Ralith> "Darkmoon, since you're already gory and you'd do well to get over your aversion to it, go back and grab one."
Nov 19 21:46:20 <Darkmoon> !d20 vision
Nov 19 21:46:20 <Lycaon> Darkmoon rolled d20 for a total of 8 vision
Nov 19 21:46:33 <Baphnedia> Nice, red, prints are highly visible on the floor wherever Lupin and Darkmoon walk.
Nov 19 21:46:52 <Baphnedia> Darkmoon's leg is spattered in blood.
Nov 19 21:47:24 <Lupin> "Hmm, we need to get something to clean this off."
Nov 19 21:47:28 <Ralith> (this is what, the third time you've said that? )
Nov 19 21:47:32 <Ralith> (@baph)
Nov 19 21:47:43 <Baphnedia> (it was in response to Darkmoon's vision roll)
Nov 19 21:47:47 <Ralith> "Just wipe yourself off on their clothes or something."
Nov 19 21:48:43 * Lupin wipes his feet off again on the dry parts of the clothes in a body in the shaft.
Nov 19 21:48:58 * Darkmoon growls unhappily, looking down at the bloody track she is making. She turns around and walks back to the bodies.
Nov 19 21:49:00 <Baphnedia> It seems to work a lot better than wiping your leg on concrete.
Nov 19 21:49:33 <A1465> "C'mon, c'mon. Hurry it up a bit."
Nov 19 21:49:39 * A1465 glances at his watch.
Nov 19 21:49:42 <Baphnedia> Standing over the bodies, which eye?
Nov 19 21:49:50 <Ralith> "Grab the left one."
Nov 19 21:49:58 <Darkmoon> (ewwwww...eyes...)
Nov 19 21:49:59 <Baphnedia> 32:46
Nov 19 21:50:24 <A1465> (Just pretend they're peeled grapes ^_^ )
Nov 19 21:50:27 <Aki> "Just don't squish 'em when ya rip em out..."
Nov 19 21:50:59 * Darkmoon is doesn't think that she can get it without messing it up
Nov 19 21:51:07 * Ralith grins maliciously. "You might do best do dig through the face to leave it undamaged."
Nov 19 21:51:18 <Baphnedia> (darkmoon you have a medkit, right?)
Nov 19 21:51:23 * Darkmoon winces
Nov 19 21:51:24 <Ralith> "You're physically strong enough to break the skull."
Nov 19 21:51:27 <Darkmoon> (yes)
Nov 19 21:52:00 <Baphnedia> (just making sure)
Nov 19 21:52:02 <Ralith> "Particularily if you take advantage of your jaw muscles."
Nov 19 21:52:45 <Lupin> "Ralith, if make her to do that, she's liable to throw up."
Nov 19 21:52:49 <Darkmoon> "I'm also strong enough to do this." She growls loudly, picking up one of the less bloody bodies and throwing it up.
Nov 19 21:53:03 * Ralith sighs
Nov 19 21:53:08 <A1465> "Heh!"
Nov 19 21:53:25 <Ralith> "She /does/ need to get over her squeamishness. Perhaps we should take her on a hunt when all this is over."
Nov 19 21:54:10 * Darkmoon climbs up after it and drags it over to the others
Nov 19 21:54:25 * Ralith shakes his head at Darkmoon.
Nov 19 21:54:27 <Aki> "Oh right...we don't have to remove it."
Nov 19 21:54:36 <Aki> "Saves much trouble."
Nov 19 21:54:39 <Darkmoon> !d20+1 vision
Nov 19 21:54:39 <Lycaon> Darkmoon rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 18 vision
Nov 19 21:54:53 <Lupin> "Nope, that's how we got into this mess to begin with."
Nov 19 21:56:10 <Darkmoon> " Uhh..guys? We might have a problem.." She points at a camera that she has seen on the wall
Nov 19 21:56:29 <Baphnedia> The camera is still, behind it's little pane of plexiglass.
Nov 19 21:56:42 <Baphnedia> A twinkle in it's iris.
Nov 19 21:56:49 <A1465> (heh)
Nov 19 21:57:05 * Ralith swears under his breath. "We should have noticed that. Well, perhaps it lost power, or isn't being monitored."
Nov 19 21:57:26 <Ralith> "The lighting is under emergency power, after all."
Nov 19 21:57:32 <A1465> "Too late now, anyway. Our only options are to continue or go back up a level or two."
Nov 19 21:57:33 * Darkmoon shakes her head. "I think I saw it move when I came back up here"
Nov 19 21:57:39 * Aki gives the camera the finger off just to be safe.
Nov 19 21:57:55 <Ralith> "Yeah, nothing we can do now."
Nov 19 21:57:56 <Aki> (*removes that mispalced off*)
Nov 19 21:58:02 <Baphnedia> The camera doesn't appreciate being flipped off.
Nov 19 21:58:16 <A1465> (* The camera is pouting.)
Nov 19 21:58:23 * Ralith approaches the door, ears perked, listening for any motion beyond it.
Nov 19 21:58:26 <Baphnedia> (oh haha )

Nov 19 21:58:54 <Ralith> (hello there. Who're you?)
Nov 19 21:58:55 <Baphnedia> (welcome)
Nov 19 21:58:59 <Lupin> (Hi)
Nov 19 21:59:22 -Baphnedia- there is no motion behind the door that you can sense.
Nov 19 21:59:40 * Darkmoon studies the machine
Nov 19 21:59:49 <Baphnedia> There is a small whirring noise coming from the camera.
Nov 19 22:00:39 <Ralith> "Can't hear anything back there."
Nov 19 22:00:53 * Ralith tries to get an idea of where the breeze he felt earlier originated
Nov 19 22:01:03 <A1465> "Let's get on with it, then. Time is even more crucial than before."
Nov 19 22:01:26 * Darkmoon stares back at it, grinning. She knows that the humans must be curious about a female that they can't remember "creating"
Nov 19 22:01:29 <Baphnedia> Feeling the air, there is a slight bit of air coming through the ceiling panels.
Nov 19 22:01:43 <Lupin> "Yeah, the more we wait here, the bigger chance of someone seeing us with that camera."
Nov 19 22:01:46 <Aki> "Just obscure the Camera's vision with some blood if need be."
Nov 19 22:01:52 <Ralith> "Good idea. Darkmoon?"
Nov 19 22:02:21 * Lupin goes under the camera, and uses his gun to adjust the camera so it points at the ceiling.
Nov 19 22:02:32 <-- Racine (~Necator@*.pntiac01.mi.comcast.net) has left #paradice
Nov 19 22:02:37 * Darkmoon growls grumpily at Ralith
Nov 19 22:02:38 <Ralith> (o.O)
Nov 19 22:02:39 <Baphnedia> (invalid: The camera is behind a pane of glass)
Nov 19 22:02:51 <A1465> (That's what I thought...)
Nov 19 22:02:57 <Aki> (Cover the glass. XP)
Nov 19 22:03:00 <Lupin> (Oh, I thought it was the scanner that was behind the glass.)
Nov 19 22:03:15 * Ralith grins at Darkmoon. "You'll be getting these tasks until you've overcome your squeamishness. No complaints, now."
Nov 19 22:04:06 * Darkmoon gives Ralith an evil look before wiping some of the blood off her foot and transferring to the glass.
Nov 19 22:04:46 <Ralith> "Better wipe the rest of that off somewhere. Tracking it all over the place won't do good things for our subtlety."
Nov 19 22:05:12 * Darkmoon uses the clothing of the body to wipe off the rest of her foot and hand
Nov 19 22:05:25 <Baphnedia> A computer voice speaks up from around the camera. "Authorization code accepted."
Nov 19 22:05:37 <Baphnedia> "Have a nice day."
Nov 19 22:05:45 * A1465 readies his weapon.
Nov 19 22:05:58 <Aki> "...What in the hell..?"
Nov 19 22:06:03 <Ralith> "Huh? Noone entered any code..."
Nov 19 22:06:04 * Lupin raises his weapon.
Nov 19 22:06:09 * Aki raises his rifle in any case.
Nov 19 22:06:14 * A1465 moves to the wall beside the door, weapon aimed at the entrance.
Nov 19 22:06:17 <Baphnedia> The door opens.
Nov 19 22:06:21 * Ralith moves rapidly to the wall, where he crouches and raises his rifle
Nov 19 22:06:25 <greatimp> Donot shoot
Nov 19 22:06:32 <greatimp> Please I mean no harm
Nov 19 22:06:34 * Lupin presses himself against the wall.
Nov 19 22:06:41 <Ralith> (erm, description?)
Nov 19 22:06:45 * greatimp lays on the floor
Nov 19 22:06:54 <greatimp> I was just trying to help
Nov 19 22:07:00 <Ralith> (what is he? human? gestalt werewolf?)
Nov 19 22:07:59 * A1465 , seeing no immediate danger, keeps his weapon trained on the door.
Nov 19 22:08:26 <Ralith> (*pokes baph* we need a description really badly here...)

00:08:26 * Darkmoon looks at the person curiously.
00:08:27 < greatimp> We were told to watch you and attempt to trap you
00:08:31 <@Baphnedia> (I'm giving greatimp the opportunity to describe himself)
00:08:35 < Ralith> (ok, I'm assuming human.)
00:08:40 <@Lupin> "We?"
00:08:43 < greatimp> Then I found out you are Werewolves
00:08:54 * Ralith emits a low growl, sniffing the air
00:09:08 < greatimp> On the floor is a man with slight grey hair standing close to six feet
00:09:19 < Ralith> "Keep talkin'."
00:09:26 < greatimp> He appears to be in good shape,
00:09:40 < greatimp> I was hired as a security personel
00:09:49 < greatimp> I would like to help you escape
00:10:03 < Aki> "Why?"
00:10:10 * greatimp stands
00:10:17 < greatimp> Because I am like you
00:10:24 < greatimp> I am a werewolf
00:10:40 < Ralith> "You're natural?"
00:11:04 * Darkmoon grins at him "Do we look like we're trying to escape?"
00:11:28 < greatimp> Well the security teams have prepaired a trap for you
00:11:37 < greatimp> They are waiting
00:11:48 < Aki> "How do we know we can trust you?"
00:11:48 < greatimp> Yes I am a natural Werewolf
00:12:11 < Ralith> (assuming that when sniffing the air I smelled that he's actually a werewolf)
00:12:13 < greatimp> Well first I have not tried to hurt or kill you in any way
00:12:38 < A1465> "That can mean very little."
00:12:40 <@Baphnedia> (yes, he's a were)
00:12:46 < Ralith> "You could be trying to capture us."
00:12:58 < greatimp> Second I have gotten ready to blow up the labs that you were made in
00:13:13 < greatimp> The science here is medaling in affairs not ment for man
00:13:34 < Ralith> "We weren't made. A1465 and <theotherguy> were, but not us."
00:13:55 < greatimp> I know not all of you were produced here
00:14:00 < greatimp> Yet some have been
00:14:02 [Users #paradice]
00:14:02 [@Baphnedia] [ A1465] [ Aki ] [ greatimp] [ Ralith ]
00:14:02 [@Lupin ] [ Akela] [ Darkmoon] [ Lycaon ] [ Testbot]
00:14:02 -!- Irssi: #paradice: Total of 10 nicks [2 ops, 0 halfops, 0 voices, 8 normal]
00:14:18 < greatimp> I have been trying to assist the test subjects to escape and live free
00:14:31 < Ralith> "There is nothing 'meant for' or 'not meant for' man. However, this place deserves destruction for its cruelty."
00:14:42 < Ralith> "How do we know you're being truthful?"
00:14:51 < A1465> "Regardless, there are more important issues here."
00:15:01 < greatimp> If you do not want my help I can forget I ever saw you and leave you to the plan you have consturcted
00:15:01 <@Baphnedia> 26:02
00:15:13 < Darkmoon> "But why would they want to trap us? Why not just kill us? There seems to be plenty of that going on around here."
00:15:16 <@Lupin> "Shift."
00:15:16 < Ralith> "Tell us the detail sof the trap. If you turn out to be telling the truth, you're with us. If not, you die."
00:15:29 < Ralith> (Lupin: we can smell that he's a werewolf.)
00:15:41 <@Lupin> (I know that.)
00:15:51 < greatimp> I do not know all of the trap perticulars
00:16:08 < greatimp> The trap will kill many of you but one or two might survive
00:16:30 <@Baphnedia> The hallway beyond this man leads to a T intersection, not unlike the one on lvl 6.
00:16:30 < greatimp> The trap is set in the Labs
00:16:44 < greatimp> That is where most of the security is set
00:17:00 <@Lupin> "And in the other direction?"
00:18:33 < greatimp> The left of the t junction is traped and the right leads to the controll area.
00:18:46 < Aki> "Do you know of any escape routes down here? Anything they could use to get out through?"
00:18:54 < greatimp> The right has many security forces manning the equiptment
00:19:27 < greatimp> I have none yet
00:19:45 * Ralith turns to the group. "Anyone have a grenade?"
00:20:12 < A1465> "Of course."
00:20:15 < greatimp> Here is one
00:20:18 * Baphnedia hangs his head
00:20:28 < Ralith> (?)
00:20:38 * greatimp hands Ralith a large softball grenade
00:20:41 <@Baphnedia> (someone seems eager to blow stuff up)
00:20:48 <@Lupin> "Heh."
00:20:48 < Ralith> (hehe.)
00:20:59 <@Lupin> "Here we go again..."
00:21:01 < A1465> "Woah, geez. Don't give that to HIM!"
00:21:03 < Ralith> (how long is the hallway?"
00:21:07 < Ralith> )
00:21:19 <@Baphnedia> (20ft, to the t-intersection)
00:21:29 * A1465 starts moving toward the elevator shaft -- safety.
00:21:44 * Ralith grins breifly, then hands it to A1465. "Not like I'd know how to use it very well. I suggest you lob it down there and bounce it around the corner.
00:21:50 * greatimp followes A1465
00:22:07 < A1465> "Bounce it around the corner?"
00:22:14 < A1465> "BOUNCE it around the corner???"
00:22:23 * Darkmoon grumbles under her breath "Stupid males and their explosives..."
00:22:24 * A1465 throws up his hands
00:22:24 * greatimp clears the area entirely
00:22:37 * Lupin heads back into the shaft as well.
00:22:48 < Ralith> "Well, how else do you plan on getting it over there?"
00:23:01 <@Lupin> "I'm not going to do this again!
00:23:02 <@Lupin> "
00:23:12 * greatimp walks back
00:23:15 < Ralith> "I assume it's not some ultra-impact-sensitive explosive, or made out of something with no inertia."
00:23:23 < A1465> "I suggest a less explosive way of dealing with this situation."
00:23:23 < greatimp> Give me the grenade and I will use it
00:23:46 < greatimp> They will not expect me to blow them up
00:23:46 < A1465> "Fine."
00:23:46 < greatimp> I work with them afterall
00:23:55 < Ralith> 'You'd have a hard time getting far enough away to not be injured in the process."
00:24:06 * greatimp slowely heads down the hall
00:24:07 * A1465 hands the device back to greatimp.
00:24:12 < greatimp> I will be fine
00:24:23 < Ralith> "Good luck, I guess."
00:24:34 * Ralith grins at Darkmoon. "You'll enjoy the aftermath of this."
00:24:39 * greatimp approches the right split
00:24:51 <@Baphnedia> A door opens on the right side.
00:25:20 < Ralith> "A1465, that launcher of yours might come in handy for the other branch."
00:25:32 * Darkmoon shoves Ralith, putting her ears back and puffing out her fur indignantly.
00:25:34 < A1465> "I know that."
00:25:58 * Ralith dances out of the way
00:26:15 < A1465> (/me sighs)
00:26:16 * greatimp grabs cecil
00:26:23 < Ralith> (cecil?)
00:26:36 <@Baphnedia> (/noticed)
00:26:51 * Lupin walks back into the hallway, since Ralith no longet has the high explosives.
00:27:32 <@Baphnedia> (my attention is divided between each group)
00:28:03 * Ralith glares at Lupin. "I'm not stupid enough to take risks like that without any experience with this stuff, you know."
00:28:21 < A1465> "Says the one who's already done it twice."
00:28:32 * Darkmoon waits for greatimp to do his job while trying to ignore her packmates
00:28:34 <@Lupin> "Oh yes. that's why you were firing them into the elevator shaft earlier, right?"
00:29:17 < Ralith> "It was kind of a desperate situation. We'd likely all be dead if I hadn't. Besides, I was ordered to!"
00:29:42 <@Baphnedia> (still /noticing)
00:29:47 * Darkmoon listens with amusement
00:29:49 < Aki> "Guys, this really isn't a good time for this..."
00:29:57 <@Baphnedia> 23:02
00:30:25 * Ralith returns to his earlier grin. "Hey, it passes the time while we wait for that security guy to do his job."
00:30:36 <@Lupin> "I am just joking, you know."
00:31:29 < Ralith> (yes, I do know. this is all in friendly, joking, tones. Despite the subject matter. We ARE packmates, after all.)
00:32:00 <@Lupin> (Actaully, I was speaking to Aki)
00:32:11 * Darkmoon wonders how greatimp is doing
00:32:40 * Aki shrugs.
00:32:49 < greatimp> brb
00:32:59 < Ralith> (oh, right.)
00:33:08 < Darkmoon> (i gotta go to sleep soon..so tired)
00:33:12 <@Baphnedia> Everyone roll listen (except greatimp)
00:33:16 < A1465> !d20
00:33:16 < Lycaon> A1465 rolled d20 for a total of 8.
00:33:17 < Ralith> !d20+1
00:33:17 < Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 10.
00:33:25 <@Lupin> !d20+1
00:33:25 < Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 20.
00:33:29 < Darkmoon> !d20+1
00:33:29 < Lycaon> Darkmoon rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 17.
00:33:31 < Ralith> (nice)
00:33:47 <@Lupin> (Remind me to send that check to the bot after this.)
00:34:08 < greatimp> (lol)
00:34:13 < Aki> !d20
00:34:13 < Lycaon> Aki rolled d20 for a total of 10.
00:34:34 <@Baphnedia> (if you didn't get a message from me, you didn't hear anything but each other's chattter)
00:35:01 < Ralith> (aki, you forgot your +1 again)
00:35:07 * A1465 is watching the hallway that greatimp went down.
00:35:08 <@Baphnedia> Greatimp turns the corner of the T intersection
00:35:12 <@Lupin> "Hmm, sounds like something happened."
00:35:18 * Darkmoon jumps slightly at the distant booming sound
00:35:22 < greatimp> I got the command room
00:35:42 < Ralith> "Good. The trap should be easy enough for A1465 to take care of at range now that we know where it is."
00:35:56 < Ralith> "Assuming they haven't disbanded it in light of what just happened."
00:36:07 < greatimp> There are many traps down the left side
00:36:09 < greatimp> Not just one
00:36:29 < Aki> "Lovely..."
00:36:31 < Ralith> "There are many grenades for our launcher."
00:36:42 < greatimp> (lol)
00:36:42 < A1465> "And only so many of us..."
00:36:52 < Ralith> "And again, who knows how much disruption the destruction of the command room caused?"
00:36:55 < greatimp> You are quite and explosive personality
00:37:05 < Ralith> "Hey, it gets the job done."
00:37:18 < greatimp> Well lets get the other two command silos before heading to the labs
00:37:21 < greatimp> comon
00:37:21 < Ralith> (use quotes for speech, please; unquoted we usually keep for description.)
00:37:34 < Ralith> "Other two command silos?"
00:37:38 < greatimp> (sorry about that folks)
00:37:45 * Ralith gives greatimp a suspicious look, his earlier worries returning.
00:38:05 < Ralith> "You didn't say anything about another two command silos."
00:38:08 < greatimp> "well yes there are two other command controll locations to the right I got the main one"
00:38:26 < Ralith> "Will this halt the missile launch?"
00:38:28 < A1465> "The radio receive light is blinking," A1465 reports.
00:38:49 < greatimp> "The one I just took out was the main command. The other two are backups"
00:39:16 < greatimp> "Come on we can get both together We just need two more grenades"
00:39:26 < Ralith> "So if we take them out the launches will be halted?"
00:39:33 * greatimp walks back down the hall
00:39:46 < greatimp> "It should not be a problem once they are gone"
00:40:07 < Ralith> "Is that a yes?"
00:40:21 < greatimp> "Well that is a yes"
00:40:23 * A1465 swears to himself.
00:40:32 < Ralith> "Great."
00:40:34 * Ralith pauses
00:40:50 < Aki> "This seems way too easy...."
00:40:57 < Ralith> "A1465, weren't we told not to use radio unless the situation was desperate?"
00:41:06 <@Lupin> "We were."
00:41:19 < A1465> "Well, nice of you to wait until now to mention that."
00:41:24 < A1465> "Anyway, we have a message."
00:41:41 <@Lupin> "We're to maintain radio silence unless we were the last survivor in the group."
00:41:41 < Ralith> "Let's hear it. This might be important to our next actions."
00:41:44 < greatimp> "Well are we going to finsh what you started?"
00:41:49 < A1465> "A627:B369. ICBM no bio wep. ICBM no bio wep."
00:41:57 < Ralith> "s***!"
00:42:03 < A1465> "All:A627 return return return. No wep in ICBM>"
00:42:09 < Ralith> "What now?!"
00:42:11 < A1465> ICBM1*
00:42:19 <@Lupin> "We need to find their exit."
00:42:32 < Aki> "And close it off."
00:42:38 * Ralith turns to greatimp. "Where is it?"
00:42:52 < Ralith> "The control rooms aren't important any more!"
00:43:38 < A1465> (I would like to stop now, if you don't mind)
00:43:47 < Darkmoon> (me too)
00:43:58 < Darkmoon> (sleepy)
00:43:58 < Ralith> (alright)
00:44:04 <@Baphnedia> (ok)
00:44:08 <@Lupin> (Yeah.)
00:44:17 <@Baphnedia> copied buffer
00:44:27 < Ralith> posting it?
00:44:29 < Aki> (That was fun. ^_^ )
00:44:31 -!- Baphnedia changed the topic of #paradice to: No game in progress. This is the official chat room for Paradice Net... www.paradice.net

00:45:20 -!- Darkmoon [~chatzilla@*.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net] has quit [Quit: Chatzilla 0.9.68.5.1 [Firefox 1.0.6/20050716]]
00:45:21 < greatimp> Night Darkmoon
00:45:22 <@Baphnedia> We've been typing for several hours
00:45:26 <@Baphnedia> np greatimp
00:45:26 < Ralith>
00:45:27 <@Baphnedia> oh
00:45:30 -!- A1465 is now known as Vilkacis-sleep
00:45:34 <@Baphnedia> how did y'all like the game tonight?
00:45:43 < Aki> 'twas great.
00:45:43 < greatimp> Not bad at all
00:45:44 < Vilkacis-sleep> I think I did better this time around.
00:45:47 <@Lupin> Good.
00:45:58 < greatimp> Except I have a cat right in front of me now
00:46:08 <@Baphnedia> cool. I'm still going mostly off the cuff - but gaming several times a week allows me to do that.
00:46:09 <@Baphnedia> lol
00:46:10 <@Lupin> I just needed a bit of time to get into it after coming into the middle.
00:46:15 <@Baphnedia> Which one?
00:46:24 <@Baphnedia> Aye I know how that goes.
00:46:34 <@Baphnedia> Which cat?
00:46:39 <@Baphnedia> Skitty Kitty?
00:46:40 <@Lupin> That reminds me. Cruise control is one of the greatest things mankind has ever invetned.
00:46:48 <@Baphnedia> aye
00:46:48 < greatimp> Mookie is stoping me frm typing
00:47:00 <@Baphnedia> lol... brb - posting logs
00:47:24 < greatimp> ok things are a little better
00:47:25 <@Lupin> I was playing with it on the the way to dinner.
00:48:09 <@Baphnedia> ack
00:48:18 <@Baphnedia> anyone have the logs before 23:13?
00:48:22 <@Baphnedia> I can't copy it all
00:48:28 <@Lupin> Define 23:13
00:48:32 < Vilkacis-sleep> I should have it all logged.
00:48:33 <@Baphnedia> time
00:48:36 <@Lupin> (What time is it now?)
00:48:39 < Ralith> I have the logs for the entire time I've been in here
00:48:41 <@Baphnedia> 12:49
00:48:46 < Ralith> my client's set to write them to disk
00:48:50 <@Baphnedia> sry.... an hour and a half ago.
00:48:51 < Ralith> I just have to find where we started >.<
00:49:19 <@Baphnedia> ok. If yours writes to disk, then we'll let you post the logs
00:49:28 < Ralith> if I can find the beginning
00:49:30 <@Lupin> Heh.
00:49:31 <@Baphnedia> If I post the log, everything from 2100-2313 will be lost.
00:49:33 < Ralith> I have several megs of raw text here
00:49:38 <@Baphnedia> lol
00:49:46 <@Lupin> I can flush my buffer, just a min.

Nov 19 22:08:35 * Darkmoon looks at the person curiously.
Nov 19 22:08:36 <greatimp> We were told to watch you and attempt to trap you
Nov 19 22:08:40 <Baphnedia> (I'm giving greatimp the opportunity to describe himself)
Nov 19 22:08:44 <Ralith> (ok, I'm assuming human.)
Nov 19 22:08:49 <Lupin> "We?"
Nov 19 22:08:53 <greatimp> Then I found out you are Werewolves
Nov 19 22:09:03 * Ralith emits a low growl, sniffing the air
Nov 19 22:09:18 <greatimp> On the floor is a man with slight grey hair standing close to six feet
Nov 19 22:09:29 <Ralith> "Keep talkin'."
Nov 19 22:09:35 <greatimp> He appears to be in good shape,
Nov 19 22:09:50 <greatimp> I was hired as a security personel
Nov 19 22:09:59 <greatimp> I would like to help you escape
Nov 19 22:10:13 <Aki> "Why?"
Nov 19 22:10:19 * greatimp stands
Nov 19 22:10:26 <greatimp> Because I am like you
Nov 19 22:10:34 <greatimp> I am a werewolf
Nov 19 22:10:50 <Ralith> "You're natural?"
Nov 19 22:11:13 * Darkmoon grins at him "Do we look like we're trying to escape?"
Nov 19 22:11:37 <greatimp> Well the security teams have prepaired a trap for you
Nov 19 22:11:46 <greatimp> They are waiting
Nov 19 22:11:58 <Aki> "How do we know we can trust you?"
Nov 19 22:11:58 <greatimp> Yes I am a natural Werewolf
Nov 19 22:12:21 <Ralith> (assuming that when sniffing the air I smelled that he's actually a werewolf)
Nov 19 22:12:23 <greatimp> Well first I have not tried to hurt or kill you in any way
Nov 19 22:12:48 <A1465> "That can mean very little."
Nov 19 22:12:50 <Baphnedia> (yes, he's a were)
Nov 19 22:12:56 <Ralith> "You could be trying to capture us."
Nov 19 22:13:08 <greatimp> Second I have gotten ready to blow up the labs that you were made in
Nov 19 22:13:23 <greatimp> The science here is medaling in affairs not ment for man
Nov 19 22:13:44 <Ralith> "We weren't made. A1465 and <theotherguy> were, but not us."
Nov 19 22:14:05 <greatimp> I know not all of you were produced here
Nov 19 22:14:10 <greatimp> Yet some have been
Nov 19 22:14:28 <greatimp> I have been trying to assist the test subjects to escape and live free
Nov 19 22:14:41 <Ralith> "There is nothing 'meant for' or 'not meant for' man. However, this place deserves destruction for its cruelty."
Nov 19 22:14:52 <Ralith> "How do we know you're being truthful?"
Nov 19 22:15:02 <A1465> "Regardless, there are more important issues here."
Nov 19 22:15:11 <greatimp> If you do not want my help I can forget I ever saw you and leave you to the plan you have consturcted
Nov 19 22:15:11 <Baphnedia> 26:02
Nov 19 22:15:23 <Darkmoon> "But why would they want to trap us? Why not just kill us? There seems to be plenty of that going on around here."
Nov 19 22:15:26 <Lupin> "Shift."
Nov 19 22:15:27 <Ralith> "Tell us the detail sof the trap. If you turn out to be telling the truth, you're with us. If not, you die."
Nov 19 22:15:39 <Ralith> (Lupin: we can smell that he's a werewolf.)
Nov 19 22:15:51 <Lupin> (I know that.)
Nov 19 22:16:01 <greatimp> I do not know all of the trap perticulars
Nov 19 22:16:19 <greatimp> The trap will kill many of you but one or two might survive
Nov 19 22:16:40 <Baphnedia> The hallway beyond this man leads to a T intersection, not unlike the one on lvl 6.
Nov 19 22:16:40 <greatimp> The trap is set in the Labs
Nov 19 22:16:55 <greatimp> That is where most of the security is set
Nov 19 22:17:11 <Lupin> "And in the other direction?"
Nov 19 22:18:43 <greatimp> The left of the t junction is traped and the right leads to the controll area.
Nov 19 22:18:57 <Aki> "Do you know of any escape routes down here? Anything they could use to get out through?"
Nov 19 22:19:04 <greatimp> The right has many security forces manning the equiptment
Nov 19 22:19:38 <greatimp> I have none yet
Nov 19 22:19:55 * Ralith turns to the group. "Anyone have a grenade?"
Nov 19 22:20:23 <A1465> "Of course."
Nov 19 22:20:26 <greatimp> Here is one
Nov 19 22:20:29 * Baphnedia hangs his head
Nov 19 22:20:39 <Ralith> (?)
Nov 19 22:20:49 * greatimp hands Ralith a large softball grenade
Nov 19 22:20:52 <Baphnedia> (someone seems eager to blow stuff up)
Nov 19 22:20:59 <Lupin> "Heh."
Nov 19 22:20:59 <Ralith> (hehe.)
Nov 19 22:21:10 <Lupin> "Here we go again..."
Nov 19 22:21:12 <A1465> "Woah, geez. Don't give that to HIM!"
Nov 19 22:21:14 <Ralith> (how long is the hallway?"
Nov 19 22:21:18 <Ralith> )
Nov 19 22:21:30 <Baphnedia> (20ft, to the t-intersection)
Nov 19 22:21:40 * A1465 starts moving toward the elevator shaft -- safety.
Nov 19 22:21:55 * Ralith grins breifly, then hands it to A1465. "Not like I'd know how to use it very well. I suggest you lob it down there and bounce it around the corner.
Nov 19 22:22:02 * greatimp followes A1465
Nov 19 22:22:18 <A1465> "Bounce it around the corner?"
Nov 19 22:22:25 <A1465> "BOUNCE it around the corner???"
Nov 19 22:22:34 * Darkmoon grumbles under her breath "Stupid males and their explosives..."
Nov 19 22:22:35 * A1465 throws up his hands
Nov 19 22:22:35 * greatimp clears the area entirely
Nov 19 22:22:49 * Lupin heads back into the shaft as well.
Nov 19 22:23:00 <Ralith> "Well, how else do you plan on getting it over there?"
Nov 19 22:23:12 <Lupin> "I'm not going to do this again!
Nov 19 22:23:14 <Lupin> "
Nov 19 22:23:23 * greatimp walks back
Nov 19 22:23:26 <Ralith> "I assume it's not some ultra-impact-sensitive explosive, or made out of something with no inertia."
Nov 19 22:23:34 <A1465> "I suggest a less explosive way of dealing with this situation."
Nov 19 22:23:34 <greatimp> Give me the grenade and I will use it
Nov 19 22:23:46 <greatimp> They will not expect me to blow them up
Nov 19 22:23:54 <A1465> "Fine."
Nov 19 22:23:54 <greatimp> I work with them afterall
Nov 19 22:24:07 <Ralith> 'You'd have a hard time getting far enough away to not be injured in the process."
Nov 19 22:24:17 * greatimp slowely heads down the hall
Nov 19 22:24:19 * A1465 hands the device back to greatimp.
Nov 19 22:24:23 <greatimp> I will be fine
Nov 19 22:24:34 <Ralith> "Good luck, I guess."
Nov 19 22:24:45 * Ralith grins at Darkmoon. "You'll enjoy the aftermath of this."
Nov 19 22:24:51 * greatimp approches the right split
Nov 19 22:25:03 <Baphnedia> A door opens on the right side.
Nov 19 22:25:31 <Ralith> "A1465, that launcher of yours might come in handy for the other branch."
Nov 19 22:25:44 * Darkmoon shoves Ralith, putting her ears back and puffing out her fur indignantly.
Nov 19 22:25:46 <A1465> "I know that."
Nov 19 22:26:10 * Ralith dances out of the way
Nov 19 22:26:26 <A1465> (/me sighs)
Nov 19 22:26:28 * greatimp grabs cecil
Nov 19 22:26:35 <Ralith> (cecil?)
Nov 19 22:26:42 <Baphnedia> (/noticed)
Nov 19 22:27:03 * Lupin walks back into the hallway, since Ralith no longet has the high explosives.
Nov 19 22:27:44 <Baphnedia> (my attention is divided between each group)
Nov 19 22:28:02 * Ralith glares at Lupin. "I'm not stupid enough to take risks like that without any experience with this stuff, you know."
Nov 19 22:28:33 <A1465> "Says the one who's already done it twice."
Nov 19 22:28:44 * Darkmoon waits for greatimp to do his job while trying to ignore her packmates
Nov 19 22:28:46 <Lupin> "Oh yes. that's why you were firing them into the elevator shaft earlier, right?"
Nov 19 22:29:30 <Ralith> "It was kind of a desperate situation. We'd likely all be dead if I hadn't. Besides, I was ordered to!"
Nov 19 22:29:54 <Baphnedia> (still /noticing)
Nov 19 22:29:59 * Darkmoon listens with amusement
Nov 19 22:30:01 <Aki> "Guys, this really isn't a good time for this..."
Nov 19 22:30:09 <Baphnedia> 23:02
Nov 19 22:30:37 * Ralith returns to his earlier grin. "Hey, it passes the time while we wait for that security guy to do his job."
Nov 19 22:30:49 <Lupin> "I am just joking, you know."
Nov 19 22:31:42 <Ralith> (yes, I do know. this is all in friendly, joking, tones. Despite the subject matter. We ARE packmates, after all.)
Nov 19 22:32:13 <Lupin> (Actaully, I was speaking to Aki)
Nov 19 22:32:23 * Darkmoon wonders how greatimp is doing
Nov 19 22:32:53 * Aki shrugs.
Nov 19 22:33:02 <greatimp> brb
Nov 19 22:33:12 <Ralith> (oh, right.)
Nov 19 22:33:21 <Darkmoon> (i gotta go to sleep soon..so tired)
Nov 19 22:33:24 <Baphnedia> Everyone roll listen (except greatimp)
Nov 19 22:33:29 <A1465> !d20
Nov 19 22:33:29 <Lycaon> A1465 rolled d20 for a total of 8.
Nov 19 22:33:29 <Ralith> !d20+1
Nov 19 22:33:30 <Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 10.
Nov 19 22:33:37 <Lupin> !d20+1
Nov 19 22:33:38 <Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 20.
Nov 19 22:33:42 <Darkmoon> !d20+1
Nov 19 22:33:42 <Lycaon> Darkmoon rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 17.
Nov 19 22:33:44 <Ralith> (nice)
Nov 19 22:34:00 <Lupin> (Remind me to send that check to the bot after this.)
Nov 19 22:34:21 <greatimp> (lol)
Nov 19 22:34:26 <Aki> !d20
Nov 19 22:34:26 <Lycaon> Aki rolled d20 for a total of 10.
Nov 19 22:34:47 <Baphnedia> (if you didn't get a message from me, you didn't hear anything but each other's chattter)
Nov 19 22:35:14 <Ralith> (aki, you forgot your +1 again)
Nov 19 22:35:20 * A1465 is watching the hallway that greatimp went down.
Nov 19 22:35:22 <Baphnedia> Greatimp turns the corner of the T intersection
Nov 19 22:35:25 <Lupin> "Hmm, sounds like something happened."
Nov 19 22:35:31 * Darkmoon jumps slightly at the distant booming sound
Nov 19 22:35:35 <greatimp> I got the command room
Nov 19 22:35:55 <Ralith> "Good. The trap should be easy enough for A1465 to take care of at range now that we know where it is."
Nov 19 22:36:09 <Ralith> "Assuming they haven't disbanded it in light of what just happened."
Nov 19 22:36:20 <greatimp> There are many traps down the left side
Nov 19 22:36:23 <greatimp> Not just one
Nov 19 22:36:42 <Aki> "Lovely..."
Nov 19 22:36:44 <Ralith> "There are many grenades for our launcher."
Nov 19 22:36:55 <greatimp> (lol)
Nov 19 22:36:56 <A1465> "And only so many of us..."
Nov 19 22:37:06 <Ralith> "And again, who knows how much disruption the destruction of the command room caused?"
Nov 19 22:37:08 <greatimp> You are quite and explosive personality
Nov 19 22:37:18 <Ralith> "Hey, it gets the job done."
Nov 19 22:37:32 <greatimp> Well lets get the other two command silos before heading to the labs
Nov 19 22:37:34 <Ralith> (use quotes for speech, please; unquoted we usually keep for description.)
Nov 19 22:37:34 <greatimp> comon
Nov 19 22:37:47 <Ralith> "Other two command silos?"
Nov 19 22:37:51 <greatimp> (sorry about that folks)
Nov 19 22:37:59 * Ralith gives greatimp a suspicious look, his earlier worries returning.
Nov 19 22:38:19 <Ralith> "You didn't say anything about another two command silos."
Nov 19 22:38:22 <greatimp> "well yes there are two other command controll locations to the right I got the main one"
Nov 19 22:38:40 <Ralith> "Will this halt the missile launch?"
Nov 19 22:38:41 <A1465> "The radio receive light is blinking," A1465 reports.
Nov 19 22:39:02 <greatimp> "The one I just took out was the main command. The other two are backups"
Nov 19 22:39:30 <greatimp> "Come on we can get both together We just need two more grenades"
Nov 19 22:39:39 <Ralith> "So if we take them out the launches will be halted?"
Nov 19 22:39:46 * greatimp walks back down the hall
Nov 19 22:39:59 <greatimp> "It should not be a problem once they are gone"
Nov 19 22:40:20 <Ralith> "Is that a yes?"
Nov 19 22:40:35 <greatimp> "Well that is a yes"
Nov 19 22:40:36 * A1465 swears to himself.
Nov 19 22:40:46 <Ralith> "Great."
Nov 19 22:40:48 * Ralith pauses
Nov 19 22:41:04 <Aki> "This seems way too easy...."
Nov 19 22:41:11 <Ralith> "A1465, weren't we told not to use radio unless the situation was desperate?"
Nov 19 22:41:20 <Lupin> "We were."
Nov 19 22:41:33 <A1465> "Well, nice of you to wait until now to mention that."
Nov 19 22:41:38 <A1465> "Anyway, we have a message."
Nov 19 22:41:55 <Lupin> "We're to maintain radio silence unless we were the last survivor in the group."
Nov 19 22:41:55 <Ralith> "Let's hear it. This might be important to our next actions."
Nov 19 22:41:58 <greatimp> "Well are we going to finsh what you started?"
Nov 19 22:42:03 <A1465> "A627:B369. ICBM no bio wep. ICBM no bio wep."
Nov 19 22:42:11 <Ralith> "s***!"
Nov 19 22:42:17 <A1465> "All:A627 return return return. No wep in ICBM>"
Nov 19 22:42:23 <Ralith> "What now?!"
Nov 19 22:42:25 <A1465> ICBM1*
Nov 19 22:42:33 <Lupin> "We need to find their exit."
Nov 19 22:42:46 <Aki> "And close it off."
Nov 19 22:42:52 * Ralith turns to greatimp. "Where is it?"
Nov 19 22:43:06 <Ralith> "The control rooms aren't important any more!"
Nov 19 22:43:53 <A1465> (I would like to stop now, if you don't mind)
Nov 19 22:44:01 <Darkmoon> (me too)
Nov 19 22:44:12 <Darkmoon> (sleepy)
Nov 19 22:44:13 <Ralith> (alright)
Nov 19 22:44:18 <Baphnedia> (ok)
Nov 19 22:44:22 <Lupin> (Yeah.)
Nov 19 22:44:31 <Baphnedia> copied buffer
Nov 19 22:44:41 <Ralith> posting it?
Nov 19 22:44:44 <Aki> (That was fun. ^_^ )
Nov 19 22:44:46 --- Baphnedia has changed the topic to: No game in progress. This is the official chat room for Paradice Net... www.paradice.net

21:07:51 -!- Baphnedia changed the topic of #paradice to: Game in progress. If you wish to watch, that's fine. If you wish to join, please /notice Baphnedia. || We have two rules: Treat everything here with respect, and don't eat sentient beings on my website regardless of how tasty they may be with Tobasco sauce. || This is the official chat of www.paradice.net
21:07:59 <@Baphnedia> My god that thing is getting long
21:08:02 < Lone_Wolf> (woohoo!)
21:08:08 < Lone_Wolf> (Baph rocks!)
21:08:14 <@Baphnedia> Ok - who is going to post this session?
21:08:18 < Lupin> I will
21:08:18 < Lone_Wolf> (yeah its monterous)
21:08:22 <@Baphnedia> Ok.
21:08:26 <@Baphnedia> Fade to black
21:08:31 <@Baphnedia> Ready...
21:08:34 < Ralith> (topics tend to do that)
21:08:42 <@Baphnedia> Action!
21:08:49 <@Baphnedia> (better than counting periods?)
21:08:58 < Lone_Wolf> (either way)
21:09:04 <@Baphnedia> The crackle of the radio died down.
21:09:05 < Lupin> (It works)
21:09:06 -!- Lone_Wolf is now known as Torrent
21:09:31 <@Baphnedia> The startling news from A627 meant that something dire took place.
21:09:46 <@Baphnedia> The canisters holding the virus, were no longer in the missles.
21:10:26 <@Baphnedia> With the main command room hopefully blown to bits, or torn to shreds by a grenade's shrapnel, the ICBMs probably weren't going anywhere.
21:11:31 <@Baphnedia> You are on the 29th floor.
21:11:35 <@Baphnedia> Going down?
21:11:47 < Ralith> (huh?)
21:11:49 < Lupin> (Going down? How can we. There's no more floors)
21:12:06 < Torrent> (I thought there were 32?)
21:12:20 < Lupin> (No... The ICBM was 29 floors tall.)
21:12:28 < Torrent> (k)
21:12:50 < Lupin> "We need to find that exit."
21:13:08 < Ralith> "And get after them, assuming they took the virus with them."
21:13:35 < Torrent> "Time is something we don't have"
21:14:20 < Lupin> "So how do we go about finding the exit? It's not like we can search all of the floors."
21:14:25 <@Baphnedia> The light is dim down here. To the right, screaming ensues as humans find dead bodies.
21:14:32 < Torrent> "Naw no time for that"
21:14:41 < Torrent> "OH #$%^!"
21:14:44 <@Baphnedia> To the left, traps are somewhere.
21:14:46 < Ralith> (grr, greatimp is kind of central here; can you play him, Baphnedia?)
21:15:19 * Torrent tries to count the number of humans there
21:15:20 <@Baphnedia> (nope - he's not here = you don't have any additional knowledge from him... but, he was making most of what he did last night up)
21:15:29 < Ralith> (oh.)
21:15:37 <@Baphnedia> (how are you doing this torrent?)
21:15:45 < Torrent> "How many do you recon that sounds like?"
21:15:50 < Torrent> (by sound)
21:16:19 * Ralith listens carefully
21:16:37 < Torrent> "I can't tell"
21:17:14 <@Baphnedia> (both roll Listen)
21:17:23 < Torrent> !d20 listen
21:17:23 < Lycaon> Torrent rolled d20 for a total of 1 listen
21:17:24 <@Baphnedia> !3d10
21:17:24 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled 3d10 for a total of 9.
21:17:44 < Torrent> (oops)
21:17:50 < Ralith> !d20 listen
21:17:50 < Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 for a total of 12 listen
21:18:47 * Baphnedia /notices
21:20:01 < Ralith> "It's a really big group. I don't want to risk encountering them."
21:20:03 < Torrent> "Okay we have to decide how we want to go about this. I can't tell how many are there... could be dozens"
21:20:11 < Torrent> "Agreed"
21:20:14 < Lupin> "Yes."
21:20:36 < Torrent> "So how about we try to avoid them and find those virii"
21:20:52 < Ralith> "Right. Can we safely assume that they took them out the exit?"
21:21:06 < Torrent> "Unless you can think of a better way"
21:21:08 < Lupin> "Don't fprget the traps."
21:21:29 < Lupin> "I don't see what else they could have done with them, Ralith."
21:21:53 < Torrent> "Alright we've gotta hurry. And be careful!"
21:22:32 < Ralith> (so we have this guy who knows about the traps, we need to go that way, and we don't ask him? come on baph )
21:23:49 < Torrent> "I believe the new guy was talking about traps that were set. Explosives and such. Don't fall into them. Tell everybody if you suspect something!"
21:23:59 < Torrent> "I say we move out now!"
21:24:18 < Torrent> (input?)
21:24:41 < Ralith> "We'll have to go slowly to avoid them..."
21:24:57 < Ralith> "And we'll be in line of sight to the human group, unless the left hallway turns soon"
21:25:09 * Torrent preps a hand grenade to throw in event it is needed
21:25:11 < Lupin> "I wonder what kinds of traps they would be that we set them off and they don't."
21:25:29 <@Baphnedia> (who has been into the hallway at the 'top' of the T?)
21:25:37 < Ralith> (greatimp)
21:25:43 < Torrent> "Well that would be the key huh"
21:26:03 < Ralith> "Unless they just trapped the hallway thoroughly and used a different route themselves
21:26:04 < Torrent> "But weren't some of them secretly werewolves as well?"
21:26:18 < Ralith> "Greatimp was at least, and he didn't get trapped, clearly."
21:26:23 * Torrent points at Ralith "I'm bettin' on that"
21:26:28 < Lupin> "I thought it was just Greatimp"
21:26:42 <@Baphnedia> (roll INT)
21:26:46 < Ralith> "So at the very least they're human-operated"
21:26:48 < Ralith> (who?)
21:26:53 <@Baphnedia> (any one player)
21:26:55 < Lupin> !d20
21:26:56 < Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 for a total of 17.
21:26:59 < Ralith> (not bad)
21:27:14 < Lupin> (Nice to know the bot still likes me.)
21:27:21 < Torrent> (heh)
21:27:40 <@Baphnedia> (hehe)
21:27:51 < Lupin> "Hmm, what if they're going through the AC system?"
21:28:25 < Torrent> "There are extensive ventilation shafts in here"
21:28:39 < Torrent> "I found you guys that way after all"
21:29:24 < Lupin> Does it go outside?
21:29:30 < Torrent> "only the main shafts are big enough for people though"
21:29:46 < Lupin> "Ah."
21:29:49 < Torrent> "Uhh... it goes to a ventilation room separate from the building"
21:30:18 < Torrent> "But... there are huge circulating fans in that building that would rip them apart..."
21:30:31 < Torrent> "Meaning they would have to shut them off first"
21:30:48 < Ralith> "They could do that."
21:31:02 < Lupin> "Well didn't A627 kill the air recirculation?"
21:31:06 < Ralith> "Hey, I wonder if the controls for them were in the room we fragged..."
21:31:34 <@Baphnedia> (someone else please roll another Intelligence check)
21:31:42 < Torrent> !d20 intelligence
21:31:42 < Lycaon> Torrent rolled d20 for a total of 5 intelligence
21:31:47 < Torrent> (bah!)
21:31:51 < Ralith> !d20
21:31:51 < Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 for a total of 19.
21:31:54 < Ralith> (:D)
21:31:59 < Ralith> (*feels smart*)
21:32:02 < Torrent> (some ONE!)
21:32:10 < Torrent> (poke)
21:32:14 < Ralith> (whoops )
21:32:28 < Torrent> (heehee)
21:32:57 < Torrent> (looks to Baph)
21:33:04 * Baphnedia is /noticing
21:34:46 * Baphnedia is done
21:35:01 < Torrent> "Well guessing by the mugginess in the air the fans are not functioning normally at the least"
21:35:10 < Ralith> (aww, I don't work anything out? )
21:35:34 <@Baphnedia> (nope)
21:35:49 < Ralith> "Let's give the vents a try, then. Keep an eye out for traps, though. Shouldn't be too hard to spot in a ventilation shaft, but even so..."
21:36:03 < Torrent> "indeed"
21:36:19 < Torrent> "Alright there's an entry point we can use near the elevator"
21:36:52 * Torrent starts towards elevator area
21:36:58 * Lupin follows Torrent
21:37:07 <@Baphnedia> The elevator area is still a gory mess.
21:38:17 * Torrent grunts "Damn it... I still wish there wasn't so much killing going on..."
21:38:18 * Ralith steps carefully
21:38:27 < Ralith> "It's necessary."
21:38:28 <@Baphnedia> There is a grate over the vent.
21:38:32 < Torrent> "...I like these boots though"
21:38:45 < Ralith> (huh? aren't you in gestalt?)
21:38:58 < Lupin> (I thought he was...)
21:39:10 < Torrent> (err... scratch that)
21:39:21 < Torrent> (replace with...)
21:39:45 < Torrent> "...all this crud between my toes is disgusting"
21:40:15 * Ralith waves towards a corpse. "That guys pants seem clean enough if you want to wipe it off."
21:40:25 < Torrent> "naw... no time"
21:40:34 < Torrent> "You think the vent could be a trap?"
21:40:36 < Lupin> "We're going to crawl around in an air vent."
21:40:44 < Torrent> "okay okay"
21:40:49 < Lupin> "We're not having tea with the queen of england."
21:41:03 * Torrent wipes off his feet as if the corpse were a welcome mat
21:41:17 < Ralith> "Let's be off, then."
21:41:23 * Ralith attempts to lever the grate off the wall
21:41:28 < Torrent> "okay... how to tell if the gate is booby trapped.."
21:41:29 < Ralith> (make that pull, with claws)
21:41:35 < Torrent> "Wait Ralith!"
21:41:39 * Ralith jumps back.
21:41:40 < Ralith> "What?"
21:41:44 * Baphnedia stops typing
21:41:47 <@Baphnedia> (dang)
21:41:48 * Torrent dives in anticipation
21:42:04 * Torrent looks in Ralith's hands
21:42:09 * Ralith looks in his hands
21:42:15 <@Baphnedia> Torrent lands on the floor slick with bodily fluids
21:42:17 * Lupin looks at Ralith's hands.
21:42:19 < Torrent> (is the grate in your hands?"
21:42:21 < Torrent> )
21:42:24 < Ralith> "Uh... is there something wrong with my hands?"
21:42:34 < Ralith> (no, I jumped back, remember?)
21:42:51 < Lupin> "I dunno. That's just where Torrent was looking."
21:42:54 < Torrent> "That thing could've been a trap and blown off those paws of yours!"
21:42:57 * Ralith hands Torrent a fragment of metal.
21:43:22 < Torrent> "Screw this... no time... I'm gonna nade it"
21:43:22 < Ralith> "Well, do you have a better idea?"
21:43:26 <@Baphnedia> There are a couple of fist-sized holes in the grate.
21:43:41 < Ralith> "Aren't I the explosives-crazy rambo here?"
21:43:48 < Torrent> "Ha!"
21:43:51 < Lupin> "Heh."
21:43:57 < Torrent> "Besides that might destroy the shaft"
21:44:06 * Torrent wipes himself off
21:44:08 < Ralith> "Or at least make it unsafe to move through."
21:44:16 < Lupin> "And just where are we supposed to be while you're doing this?"
21:44:24 < Ralith> "It's in your fur, Torrent. Yer screwed until we get some water."
21:44:25 < Torrent> "Exactly"
21:44:34 * Torrent sighs
21:44:41 < Torrent> "Just jumpy"
21:44:47 < Torrent> "Let's move through"
21:45:00 * Ralith looks around for something to throw through the grate.
21:45:04 <@Baphnedia> The front half of Torrent is covered with small splotches of blood and guts.
21:45:08 < Ralith> "Maybe if we lob something through it..."
21:45:20 * Lupin looks for something on the corpses.
21:45:42 < Torrent> "How about this guy's boot?"
21:46:00 < Lupin> Sounds good to me.
21:46:26 * Torrent throws the boot... and it bounces off the grate
21:46:34 < Torrent> "Gah!"
21:46:42 <@Baphnedia> The grate rattles and sounds big and hollow.
21:46:42 * Ralith picks it up again and tosses it a little, getting a feel for the weight
21:47:34 * Torrent gets sick of this and opens fire around the perimeter of the grate
21:48:07 < Lupin> "Well jeez, I could have done that..."
21:48:15 < Torrent> "Yeah well..."
21:48:27 < Ralith> "I think I've lost my position as Rambo."
21:48:32 * Ralith salutes Torrent
21:48:36 < Torrent> "Okay throw it now"
21:48:47 * Ralith takes careful aim and lets fly
21:49:03 * Torrent listens to the grate fly off
21:49:16 < Ralith> (hey now, that's the DM's job to decide on success)
21:49:22 < Torrent> (oh)
21:49:38 < Torrent> (sorry!!)
21:49:52 <@Baphnedia> The screams from down the hallway have stopped.
21:50:08 < Torrent> "Shoot now they've heard us
21:50:10 < Torrent> "
21:50:10 <@Baphnedia> The grate gracelessly falls to the floor.
21:50:15 < Ralith> "Whoops. I hope we haven't given our location away."
21:50:16 < Torrent> "Go go go!"
21:50:22 * Ralith leaps forward into the shaft
21:50:28 < Torrent> "I'll head up the back"
21:50:29 < Ralith> (er, vent)
21:50:30 * Lupin heads into the vent
21:50:45 < Torrent> (some excitement was needed ;) )
21:50:47 * Ralith scrabbles forward loudly, then quickly checks himself.
21:50:49 * Baphnedia on the phone
21:51:00 < Ralith> "Gah. Claws and echoey metal do not mix."
21:51:09 * Ralith moves more slowly, putting his weight on his pads
21:51:35 * Torrent heads up the back jamming the body into the shaft opening
21:51:45 < Torrent> (corpse)
21:52:04 <@Baphnedia> (??)
21:52:13 < Lupin> ("??"?)
21:52:19 * Ralith gives Torrent an odd look
21:52:22 <@Baphnedia> The shaft leads straght for as far as you can see."
21:52:27 < Torrent> (there was a corpse from before and I used it to block the entrance)
21:52:44 < Lupin> "Anyone have a flashlight?"
21:52:56 < Ralith> "With that body in there, it is a bit hard to see..."
21:53:02 * Ralith glances back at Torrent.
21:53:09 < Ralith> "I've got nothing but myself."
21:53:12 * Torrent hands Lupin a penlight off the body
21:53:28 < Lupin> "Great."
21:53:37 * Ralith grins. "Stealing from the dead, Torrent?"
21:53:41 * Lupin shines the light down the shaft, around Ralith.
21:53:49 < Torrent> "Woulda done the same to me"
21:54:00 < Torrent> "Should be a left turn up ahead"
21:54:01 * Ralith holds out his hand to Lupin. "Perhaps I should weild that."
21:54:11 < Ralith> (gah, DM's job to describe the terrain too )
21:54:24 < Torrent> (But butb but)
21:54:27 * Lupin hands the light to Ralith "I'd thought you'd never ask"
21:54:27 < Ralith> (well, unless your char has a reason to know it)
21:54:32 < Torrent> (I was in the vents before)
21:54:35 < Ralith> (oh, right)
21:54:47 <@Baphnedia> The shaft extends straight for about 20 feet.
21:54:55 <@Baphnedia> Then it comes to an intersection.
21:55:00 < Torrent> "all the floors I was on had the same layout"
21:55:00 * Ralith shines it along the vent, trying to see any abnormalities along it
21:55:19 <@Baphnedia> (no abnormailities present themselves)
21:56:07 * Ralith starts moving forward again, slowly and being careful to remain quiet
21:56:25 * Torrent edges forward
21:56:42 < Torrent> "This is where having claws suck"
21:56:51 * Lupin follows Ralith, making sure his claws don't make any noise.
21:56:57 < Torrent> "I mean damn... "
21:57:03 * Torrent follows Lupin
21:57:07 < Ralith> "I'm willing to make the sacrafice, myself."
21:57:13 <@Baphnedia> The taps of the claws are very obvious
21:57:25 < Torrent> "Okay we've gotta do something"
21:57:31 <@Baphnedia> You reach the intersectino
21:57:33 < Ralith> "It's not like we need to traverse vents in our natural environment"
21:57:46 < Ralith> (Torrent, are you wearing anything?)
21:57:54 < Torrent> (no)
21:57:54 < Ralith> (your char, I mean )
21:58:00 < Ralith> (right.)
21:58:04 < Torrent> (oh... still no)
21:58:07 < Torrent> (j/k)
21:58:07 < Lupin> (Heh)
21:58:10 < Ralith> (eek.)
21:58:37 < Ralith> "We're inside the walls; so long as we remain careful, we're fine."
21:58:38 <@Baphnedia> (what? No sniffing?)
21:58:50 < Ralith> (whee, blatant hints.)
21:58:53 * Torrent sniffs
21:58:54 * Ralith inhales deeply
21:59:02 * Baphnedia hangs his head
21:59:06 < Torrent> "Any trail?"
21:59:06 * Lupin sniffs, and smells... Ralith
21:59:14 < Ralith> (*growl*)
21:59:37 < Ralith> (I need to get used to having smell as a primary sense.)
21:59:49 < Lupin> (Actually it should be all the Torrent, since he has blood all over him)
21:59:50 < Torrent> "Better hurry before the humans remove the corpse from the vent and follow us"
22:00:05 * Ralith lowers his muzzle to the bottom of the vent, sniffing carefully.
22:00:19 < Torrent> "Don't you guys know how to separate scents?"
22:00:26 <@Baphnedia> There is a draft going to the right.
22:00:44 * Torrent continues blabbing "It's in your mind"
22:00:53 < Lupin> "It's one of the first things you learn."
22:00:58 < Ralith> "Yeh, but it can be a pain when you've got a tight space and lots of strong scents."
22:01:07 < Ralith> "Particularily with stagnant air..."
22:01:16 * Baphnedia hopes nobody farts.
22:01:20 < Torrent> "that doesn't help"
22:01:49 < Torrent> "So what do you feel or smell up there?"
22:01:52 < Ralith> (so am I gonna smell anything?)
22:02:01 < Lupin> (Just a draft, it seems.)
22:02:14 <@Baphnedia> (ack - roll smell)
22:02:17 < Ralith> !d20 smell
22:02:17 < Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 for a total of 18 smell
22:02:18 <@Baphnedia> (lots of faint stuff)
22:02:22 < Ralith> ( )
22:02:22 < Golem> ( Error: That is not a valid number Ralith.
22:02:29 < Ralith> (o.O)
22:02:30 < Torrent> (lol)
22:02:40 < Ralith> ( :4 )
22:02:41 < Lupin> (Heh)
22:02:52 < Lupin> ( )
22:02:53 < Golem> ( Error: That is not a valid number Lupin.
22:03:09 < Ralith> ( :4
22:03:10 < Lupin> 2 )
22:03:12 < Ralith> ( 4
22:03:18 < Ralith> :4 )
22:03:18 < Torrent> (ah its the emoticons)
22:03:23 < Torrent> ( )
22:03:25 < Lupin> (Whee for parse errors!)
22:03:33 < Torrent> (anyhow)
22:03:51 < Ralith> "There've definitley been humans passing through here."
22:04:06 < Ralith> (baph, how am I supposed to know that they're going in one specific direction?)
22:04:08 < Torrent> "Which way did they go?"
22:04:11 < Ralith> (think about how smell works.)
22:04:18 < Ralith> "How am I supposed to tell?"
22:04:23 < Torrent> "I didn't see the option to go right on the other levels"
22:04:46 < Lupin> "On the other level where did the left fork go?"
22:05:05 <@Baphnedia> (ralith roll wit)
22:05:13 < Ralith> !d20 wit
22:05:13 < Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 for a total of 19 wit
22:05:14 <@Baphnedia> (oh, and use yer bonueses...)
22:05:15 < Ralith> (wit?)
22:05:21 < Ralith> (right, just add 1 to that)
22:05:25 <@Baphnedia> (you'll get used to it)
22:05:27 < Ralith> (yay, the bot likes me again)
22:05:32 < Torrent> "There was a slope then a ladder to go to the next floor"
22:05:39 < Lupin> (Forgot about that compteletly)
22:06:09 < Torrent> "Those ladders are quiet slippery though... almost fell clear off"
22:06:15 < Ralith> "To the next floor above?"
22:06:18 < Ralith> "Or below?"
22:06:40 <@Baphnedia> (apologies for spelling and grammar)
22:06:55 < Torrent> "Oh... up, but like I said the other floors didn't have the other direction to go"
22:07:47 * Ralith motions right. "Smells like the control room was over there"
22:08:11 * Torrent smells his fur... "Oh gawd... I smell like rot"
22:08:15 * Ralith turns left. "That means that this must eventually connect to the processing plant."
22:08:28 < Ralith> "Not to mention that the air's flowing that way."
22:08:49 < Lupin> "I'd say right. If left goes up, I doubt they'd go that way"
22:09:04 < Torrent> "too obvious you mean?"
22:09:26 < Ralith> "Do you think they'd put the processing plant underground?"
22:09:33 < Lupin> "Well it just gets them to the next floor. They could use the stairs for that."
22:09:39 * Ralith shines the light in each direction.
22:09:50 <@Baphnedia> To the right, the shaft turns up
22:09:56 <@Baphnedia> straight, it stays level
22:10:08 < Ralith> (oh, it goes straight too? I thought it was another T )
22:10:19 < Lupin> (So did I)
22:10:29 <@Baphnedia> to the left, it turns down at about a 45 degrees
22:10:33 < Torrent> (same here)
22:10:38 <@Baphnedia> (Intersection +)
22:10:44 < Torrent> (ahhh)
22:10:45 < Ralith> "Well, Torrent, this isn't like the other floors."
22:10:50 < Ralith> "It's going down."
22:10:54 < Torrent> "No it ain't"
22:11:15 < Torrent> "But this IS the bottom floor, right?"
22:11:26 < Lupin> "That's what A627 said."
22:11:28 < Torrent> "I mean, it shouldn't be getting LOWER"
22:11:40 < Torrent> "Could we be wrong?!?"
22:11:56 < Lupin> "Yes."
22:12:12 < Torrent> "Okay follow your instinct then"
22:12:20 * Torrent mumbles to himself
22:12:41 * Ralith shrugs.
22:12:49 < Ralith> "Well, let's find out."
22:13:02 * Ralith goes down there a short ways, then sniffs the bottom again
22:13:03 <@Baphnedia> The shaft indeed goes lower.
22:13:04 < Torrent> "Yup. Let's go."
22:13:38 <@Baphnedia> Ralith, you smell the odors of the ww's behind you, and there is a very definite draft, since your form takes up most of the passageway
22:13:46 * Lupin follows Ralith down the shaft looking around as he goes for some odd reason
22:13:52 <@Baphnedia> A soft wooshing sound is caused by this.
22:14:01 < Ralith> "Meh. Airflow's wrong to get a decent scent."
22:14:11 * Ralith glares breifly at Torrent
22:14:12 < Torrent> "Hey that sounds like......fans?"
22:14:21 < Lupin> (Oh)
22:14:36 <@Baphnedia> The wooshing sound is constant, like wind, like... the wind going past your ears
22:14:37 * Ralith shines the light ahead, again checking for abnormalities
22:14:41 < Lupin> ([16:39] <@Baphnedia> At least 29 floors deep... that's the height of the ICBM. )
22:14:50 < Ralith> (at LEAST? )
22:15:05 <@Baphnedia> There is a small bright green square ahead on the floor - about 20 feet further down
22:15:08 < Torrent> "I hear something.... maybe its just the pressure of the situation"
22:15:17 * Baphnedia groans
22:15:21 < Lupin> (Well the elevator shaft doesn't go any deeper.)
22:15:41 < Torrent> "What's that up there guys?"
22:15:47 < Ralith> "I see something...'
22:15:53 < Ralith> "Seems to obvious for a trap."
22:15:54 < Lupin> "What is that?"
22:15:56 < Torrent> "Can't see behind you're big butts"
22:15:58 <@Baphnedia> (how close do you get to it?)
22:16:01 < Torrent> (your)
22:16:13 < Ralith> (holding still atm)
22:16:23 * Ralith growls a warning at Torrent
22:16:48 < Ralith> (is it glowing green, or just brightly colored?)
22:16:56 < Torrent> "Oh puhleaze. I'm trained in combat. I'll take you any day."
22:16:56 <@Baphnedia> (brightly colored)
22:17:45 < Torrent> "Anything?"
22:17:45 < Ralith> "You're trained in combat with firearms and a human body, much of which you don't remember. I've 20 years of experience like this. Rethink yourself a little."
22:17:50 < Lupin> "Can we save the dominance battle for a time we're we're not in a tiny tube?"
22:18:18 < Torrent> "Alright alright. Fair enough. We can kill each other another day."
22:18:18 * Ralith snorts. "It's a bright green square."
22:18:21 * Torrent winks
22:18:45 < Ralith> "Can't tell anything past that."
22:18:56 * Lupin rolls his eyes "I've been hanging around Ralith too much. He's starting to become cryptic."
22:18:59 < Ralith> "Should we approach it?"
22:19:05 < Ralith> "Hah."
22:19:31 < Torrent> "well is it raised off the surface?"
22:19:36 < Lupin> "Well we don't have anything to throw at it."
22:19:49 * Ralith squints, trying to get a better look at it.
22:19:51 < Ralith> !d20 sight
22:19:51 < Torrent> "At this rate they'll get away for sure"
22:19:51 < Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 for a total of 3 sight
22:19:58 < Torrent> (lol)
22:20:07 * Ralith shakes his head and approaches carefully.
22:20:13 < Lupin> (Maybe you should point the flaslight at it too.)
22:20:18 < Ralith> (approaches to ~5 feet, make that.)
22:20:23 < Ralith> "It's not raised."
22:20:37 < Torrent> "Well I have no idea"
22:21:22 < Lupin> "Does it look like it's new, or has it been there for a while?"
22:22:07 < Torrent> "I don't know of anything green like that"
22:22:16 < Ralith> "It looks like some sort of label."
22:22:41 < Ralith> "Three black triangles and a circle around them. It's that color that glow-in-the-dark chemical makes things."
22:23:03 < Lupin> "Fallout shelter?"
22:23:17 * Ralith shrugs
22:23:21 < Torrent> "is there a panel near it that pops out?
22:23:26 * Ralith looks
22:24:26 < Torrent> "If so could be a way in"
22:24:26 < Ralith> "Nothing."
22:24:28 < Lupin> (Or is 'Fallout shelter' three yellow trangles in a black circle...)
22:24:33 < Torrent> "Gah"
22:24:40 < Torrent> "I'm out of ideas"
22:24:42 < Ralith> "Screw caution."
22:24:46 < Torrent> "Up to you"
22:24:46 * Ralith goes right up to it.
22:25:08 * Torrent grimaces in anticipation of a blast
22:25:41 * Lupin contemplates the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.
22:26:03 < Ralith> (42)
22:26:04 * Torrent wonders if he'll ever remember his past
22:26:09 < Torrent> (heh)
22:26:21 < Lupin> (forty-two, actually.)
22:26:31 < Ralith> "There's a warning written in small print. "If found glowing, indication of radiation leak positive. If not glowing, then nominal containment status acheived. Placed on date _____ (5 months ago)""
22:26:57 < Ralith> "Containment status acheived?"
22:27:00 < Ralith> "Sounds like something irradiated this place and they sealed it off"
22:27:17 < Torrent> "Eek!"
22:27:18 < Lupin> "Well this is a facility that is supposed to house nuclear material."
22:27:28 < Torrent> "I say move on"
22:27:42 < Torrent> "If we don't hurry many people will die"
22:27:45 < Ralith> "And they're supposed to know how to take care of it, not leave it out in the open. Let alone bathe a place in it."
22:27:54 * Ralith starts moving along at a normal pace.
22:27:55 * Lupin turns to look at Torrent "What are you 'Eek!'-ing about, you have an increased resistance to radiation."
22:28:03 * Lupin continues after Ralith.
22:28:20 < Ralith> "Know anyone named Cecil White?"
22:28:23 < Torrent> "Not me! All those...people... its a horrid way to die"
22:28:36 < Ralith> "I'm curious why they'd have a radiation risk here..."
22:28:40 < Lupin> "Nope"
22:28:41 < Torrent> "Can't say I do"
22:28:51 < Ralith> (that question was at Torrent, btw.)
22:29:00 <@Baphnedia> The tunnel flattens out and goes straight for almost a hundred feet, then begins to corkscrew upwards.
22:29:01 < Ralith> (dangit, we need greatimp )
22:29:16 < Ralith> "Now this is getting downright odd. Who'd shape a vent like this?"
22:29:26 <@Baphnedia> (roll intelligence, real high-like)
22:29:29 < Lupin> "Yeah."
22:29:31 < Torrent> (oops)
22:29:32 < Ralith> !d20+1
22:29:32 < Lycaon> Ralith rolled d20 + 1 for a total of 6.
22:29:53 < Lupin> (And everything is back to normal.)
22:30:02 < Ralith> (yup )
22:30:25 * Ralith accelerates, paying no mind to the noise his claws make against the vent, as they're quite distant from the humans by now.
22:30:39 < Torrent> "Yeah we gotta go faster"
22:30:42 * Lupin picks up his speed too, trying not to get dizzy.
22:30:50 * Torrent heads up the back
22:30:51 * Ralith shakes his head breifly, as if clearing it of something.
22:30:53 <@Baphnedia> The vent itself doesn't flex here like it did in the beginning. There is something reinforcing it.
22:31:09 * Ralith pauses, then punches the side of the vent, hard
22:31:13 < Lupin> "Hmm I wonder."
22:31:20 < Torrent> "what?"
22:31:28 <@Baphnedia> Your hand hurts a lot. There isn't so much as a dent.
22:31:37 < Lupin> "You could use a vent like this to exchange heat with the soil outside."
22:31:46 < Ralith> "Ok, now that's just not right. Vents are made out of cheap, flimsy metal!"
22:31:54 * Ralith goes at it with his claws
22:31:57 <@Baphnedia> The clatter of the claws is no longer booming and thunderous, though it still echoes
22:32:10 < Torrent> "This is very odd"
22:32:12 < Ralith> "Are we even suspended any more?"
22:32:14 <@Baphnedia> the metal of the side of the vent gives way to something else.
22:32:26 * Ralith stops, and takes a closelook
22:32:40 < Torrent> "Why are we stopping?"
22:32:44 <@Baphnedia> Ralith's claws made a couple of marks in a very dull substance
22:33:07 <@Baphnedia> It doesn't give itself, nor is it reacting to claws very much.
22:33:17 <@Baphnedia> It feels dully warm.
22:33:24 < Lupin> (...)
22:33:43 < Ralith> "This isn't any normal vent any more."
22:33:45 * Ralith examines it closely
22:33:47 < Ralith> (brb)
22:33:55 < Torrent> "Could this lead somewhere above ground?"
22:34:16 <@Baphnedia> It is lead. The lead is warm.
22:34:46 < Lupin> "No it isn't. Normally air vents aren't lead-shieded."
22:34:47 <@Baphnedia> Maybe, 80-90 degrees to the touch.
22:34:58 < Torrent> "What the?"
22:35:09 < Torrent> "Lead?"
22:35:14 * Lupin sniffs.
22:35:21 < Torrent> "This is getting strange"
22:35:36 <@Baphnedia> (where is Lupin in relatino to the rest of the group?)
22:35:41 < Lupin> (Between Ralith and Torrent.)
22:35:59 < Torrent> (I am in the back behind the other players not here)
22:36:21 < Ralith> (back)
22:36:24 <@Baphnedia> (for all intents and purposes, you're behind Lupin)
22:36:34 < Torrent> (k)
22:36:51 < Ralith> "And why is this so warm?"
22:37:04 < Ralith> "Lead is used for radiation shielding, and there was that warning back there..."
22:37:11 < Torrent> "A reactor?"
22:37:31 < Lupin> "But why would an air vent go through a reactor?"
22:37:31 < Ralith> "But the warning indicated a specific event irradiated the area."
22:37:37 < Ralith> "And why would the vent be shielded?"
22:37:59 < Ralith> "Besides, reactors are well shielded themselves."
22:38:06 < Torrent> "Hmm"
22:38:17 < Lupin> "Then why is this tube so warm?"
22:38:18 < Ralith> "But above all, why is this so /warm/?"
22:38:25 < Ralith> (heh)
22:39:03 < Ralith> "It's as if they conducted a nuke test here, then built a vent inside the cavern for some reason.
22:39:24 < Torrent> "To bypass something?"
22:39:39 < Ralith> "Sorry?"
22:39:50 < Lupin> "Bypass what?"
22:40:12 < Torrent> "Got me. I'm finding this odd to begin with"
22:40:14 < Ralith> "Why would they go through a place like this to bypass it, anyway?"
22:40:23 < Ralith> "And none of this explains why it's warm."
22:40:27 * Torrent looks blankly
22:40:33 <@Baphnedia> (is everyone still moving upwards?)
22:40:36 < Ralith> (nope)
22:40:41 < Ralith> (we stopped where I attacked the vent)
22:40:47 <@Baphnedia> (just checking, thx)
22:41:34 < Lupin> "So should we keep going?"
22:41:41 < Torrent> "Well you think we're going the right way?"
22:41:46 < Torrent> "I have no clue"
22:41:50 < Ralith> "I'm curious what's in here..."
22:42:02 < Ralith> "Radiation shouldn't be a problem for us. Should we take a look?"
22:42:12 < Torrent> "I'm game"
22:42:13 < Lupin> "Ralith, does it smell like they've come this way?"
22:42:15 < Lupin> "Okay"
22:42:15 < Ralith> "If anything, it'll do well to keep the humans from following us."
22:42:25 * Ralith sniffs the vent
22:42:40 < Ralith> "Show them a hole in radiation shielding and they'll freak."
22:42:51 < Ralith> "It doesn't..."
22:43:01 * Ralith shrugs, and starts scraping at the lead with his claws
22:43:27 < Lupin> "Is that really the best idea?"
22:43:32 * Torrent looks on
22:43:37 < Ralith> "Hey, we're safe, aren't we?"
22:43:39 <@Baphnedia> The lead isn't very forgiving, but after a moment, it begins to fall away from the wall of the shaft.
22:43:54 < Lupin> "I hope so."
22:43:55 < Ralith> (lead is quite soft, remember)
22:44:12 < Ralith> "It's radiation shielding. Radiation isn't a problem to us."
22:44:29 < Torrent> "Any progress up there?"
22:44:32 <@Baphnedia> (shielding isn't always pure lead... sometimes it's an alloy)
22:44:36 < Ralith> (true)
22:44:46 * Lupin tries to point back at Torrent "No, it's not a problem for them."
22:45:07 <@Baphnedia> With each swipe, Ralith takes a few slivers of lead out of the shielding.
22:46:05 < Torrent> "At this rate we'll be here hours if its thick"
22:46:29 < Ralith> "Can't be that thick, if they needed that sticker back there."
22:46:32 * Ralith steps up the pace
22:46:36 <@Baphnedia> The claw marks grow deeper steadily.
22:46:38 < Torrent> "Huh...
22:46:39 < Torrent> "
22:46:45 <@Baphnedia> The lead grows hotter
22:46:51 < Ralith> (how much hotter?)
22:47:03 < Ralith> "This is getting pretty warm..."
22:47:13 < Torrent> "How're your claws holding up?"
22:47:34 < Ralith> "Er, fine. They're only bone..."
22:47:43 * Torrent chuckles
22:48:29 <@Baphnedia> Ralith digs a few inches into the sheilding.
22:48:46 <@Baphnedia> A claw gets stuck in the lead.
22:49:05 * Ralith grunts and pulls downward, hard
22:49:13 < Lupin> "What do you need several inches of lead shielding for, anyway"
22:49:31 < Ralith> "What needs several inches of lead shielding and makes this kind of heat?"
22:49:37 <@Baphnedia> A sliver of green light shines through where you just drew your claw.
22:49:50 < Ralith> "Oh god, I feel like I'm in some cheap sci fi movie."
22:49:53 < Torrent> "whoa... I can see that back here"
22:50:06 < Lupin> "Jeez, what is that?"
22:50:18 * Ralith forces two claws into the hole, and pulls in opposite directions.
22:50:22 < Ralith> "We'll know in a moment."
22:50:50 <@Baphnedia> The lead gives way, another wall about a meter in front of you.
22:51:06 * Ralith pokes he head through, looking around
22:51:18 < Torrent> "The verdict?"
22:51:22 <@Baphnedia> There is a thin, iridescent strcker two inches wide, going from right to left.
22:51:31 <@Baphnedia> It is glowing a very bright green.
22:51:52 < Lupin> (Same sticker as before?)
22:52:27 <@Baphnedia> There is a floor, made of a metal grate. It is really hot, and there are pillars with a coil of sorts wrapped along them, going upwards.
22:52:38 <@Baphnedia> Two to the right, three to the left.
22:52:55 <@Baphnedia> The pillars are covered in more shielding.
22:53:15 <@Baphnedia> There are grate floors every 10-12 feet, going from pillar to pillar.
22:53:18 * Ralith repeats the description to the others
22:53:24 < Torrent> (lol)
22:53:25 < Lupin> (A coil like the vent we're in?)
22:53:52 < Ralith> "Well, there's quite some radiation here..."
22:53:55 * Torrent looks even more perplexed
22:53:58 < Ralith> "Now I'm really curious."
22:53:58 <@Baphnedia> There is a bright green stripe about halfway between each floor of grates.
22:54:04 < Torrent> "But... what is it?"
22:54:31 * Ralith digs away at the edges of the hole until he can slip though
22:54:35 < Lupin> "So, we have just drop into the Twilight Zone."
22:54:40 < Lupin> "I wonder where Rod is."
22:54:53 < Torrent> "And will it help us get to the virus?"
22:54:59 <@Baphnedia> Standing on the metal grate floor, you find that there is another wall, about a meter to the other side of your 'pillar'.
22:55:02 < Torrent> "Rod? Who's Rod?"
22:55:30 * Lupin looks at torrent as he follows Ralith in. "Sterling. He was the 'host'."
22:55:44 < Torrent> "Ah..."
22:55:45 <@Baphnedia> To the far right, you can see that at some point, further down, there is a heck of a lot of wreckage.
22:55:45 < Ralith> (huh? Am I supposed to know about htis?)
22:55:55 < Ralith> (I still don't get what you're talking about.)
22:56:06 < Lupin> (What who is talking about?)
22:56:15 <@Baphnedia> (what who where?)
22:56:21 < Torrent> (lol)
22:56:26 <@Baphnedia> Ack- I meant to /notice that
22:56:31 < Lupin> (I'm just adding color commentary.)
22:56:31 < Ralith> (lupin, I mean)
22:56:34 < Ralith> (host to what?)
22:56:38 < Ralith> (oh, right)
22:56:40 < Lupin> !wiki Twilight Zone
22:56:51 < Ralith> (yeh yeh)
22:57:00 < Ralith> (I really need to go soon... )
22:57:06 < Torrent> (me too)
22:57:51 < Lupin> (Great, that means I can go watch TV>)
22:57:56 < Ralith> (bah)
22:58:01 < Torrent> "So what IS this place"
22:58:07 <@Baphnedia> (does everyone enter into the new place?)
22:58:18 < Ralith> (I say we end it just as we enter)
22:58:22 < Lupin> "No idea."
22:58:23 < Ralith> (parents getting pissed )
22:58:25 <@Baphnedia> The creepy green light seeps into the shaft.
22:58:28 < Torrent> (lol)
22:58:41 <@Baphnedia> Ok
22:58:43 <@Baphnedia> We can halt for now
22:58:52 -!- Baphnedia changed the topic of #paradice to: No game in progress. || We have two rules: Treat everything here with respect, and don't eat sentient beings on my website regardless of how tasty they may be with Tobasco sauce. || This is the official chat of www.paradice.net

22:18:32 -!- Baphnedia changed the topic of #paradice to: Game in progress. /notice Baphnedia if you'd like to join.

22:18:54 * Baphnedia types really fast
22:19:14 <@Baphnedia> We left off with you in a dark hallway, angled slightly upwards.
22:19:27 <@Baphnedia> Most had dropped to all fours.
22:19:44 <@Baphnedia> Once they saw "Exit 2km" painted on the floor.
22:19:59 <@Baphnedia> One of you has a flashlight showing either the left or right wall.
22:20:21 <@Baphnedia> The air here is stale.
22:20:21 < Lupin> (Me. And, it would be the right wall.)
22:20:22 <@Baphnedia> And cool
22:20:57 < Ralith> (and we're all going rather fast forward, except for the armorer, who's human and with the explosives)
22:21:12 <@Baphnedia> Someone else somehow has the explosives, since he's not responding at the moment.
22:21:17 * Baphnedia pokes Guest2
22:21:33 <@Baphnedia> We'll worry about that when he 'reaches' the exit.
22:21:35 < Ralith> (he's "gone")
22:21:46 < Ralith> (we can just take them from him when needed )
22:22:13 <@Baphnedia> The clicking of your claws on the floor and the sound of your breathing are about all that there is to hear.
22:22:26 <@Baphnedia> This hall has been silent for a long time. Probably ever since it was constructed.
22:23:11 <@Baphnedia> (done)
22:23:15 * Ralith maintains a watch for tracks through the dust and/or fresh scents
22:24:39 <@Baphnedia> in the dim light, you can make up more words on the floor as you're running.
22:24:49 <@Baphnedia> *you can see more letters
22:24:56 * Ralith slows slightly to interpret them
22:25:29 * Lupin slows as well, and tries to reposion the light in his mouth
22:25:57 * Aki likewises slows, as to not get ahead
22:26:21 <@Baphnedia> In big yellow block lettering...
22:26:26 <@Baphnedia> "Exit 1km"
22:27:26 * Lupin speeds up again after reading the sign.
22:27:32 * Ralith resumes his earlier speed
22:28:49 <@Baphnedia> The hallway finally comes to a halt ahead.
22:29:02 < Ralith> (I take it I saw no signs of use anywhere?)
22:29:05 <@Baphnedia> There is a ladder, and a metal landing.
22:29:15 <@Baphnedia> ('exit this way...')
22:29:21 <@Baphnedia> (nothing else)
22:30:03 < Lupin> "Well I guess we go up again."
22:30:11 * Ralith nods
22:30:13 * Lupin starts climing up
22:30:18 * Ralith follows
22:30:20 <@Baphnedia> the ladder is rather short.
22:30:32 <@Baphnedia> the walls become almost a cavernours
22:30:37 <@Baphnedia> *cavernous
22:30:56 < Lupin> (Cavernous is an adjective)
22:30:57 <@Baphnedia> Upon the landing, the wall is a single peice of metal.
22:31:14 <@Baphnedia> (yes, me speketh Inglish gud)
22:31:36 * Ralith looks around, searching for traces of activity
22:31:54 <@Baphnedia> A large wheel, not unlike one that might be used on a boat, is in the center.
22:32:18 <@Baphnedia> Nothing has passed through here in a very long time.
22:32:54 < Ralith> "Odd."
22:32:59 < Aki> "The silence is deafening..."
22:33:01 * Lupin examines the wheel closer
22:33:03 < Ralith> "Doesn't look like an exit to me..."
22:33:09 <@Baphnedia> It looks like a huge bank vault door.
22:33:22 < Ralith> (oh, I thought it was freestanding >.<)
22:33:33 < Ralith> "They certainly did keep this place sealed off..."
22:33:56 < Lupin> "Yeah, this is a fairly large door."
22:34:15 < Aki> "Wonder why this place is so damn big in comparison.."
22:34:23 * Ralith shrugs
22:34:30 < Ralith> "Well, nothing to do but open it."
22:34:34 < Lupin> "Yep"
22:34:47 * Ralith grabs it and pulls counterclockwise
22:35:01 * Aki helps
22:35:12 <@Baphnedia> the wheel turns slowly.
22:36:04 <@Baphnedia> You finally hear a small click, as the wheel can no longer be turned.
22:36:15 < Ralith> "That should do it."
22:36:26 * Ralith pulls back
22:36:53 <@Baphnedia> The door doesn't seem to open in your direction.
22:37:13 < Aki> "Push it."
22:37:31 * Ralith pushes
22:37:32 < Lupin> "Yeah, if this were an emergency exit, it would open out"
22:37:39 < Ralith> "Good point."
22:37:49 < Ralith> "Not that the rest of the route seemed designed for speed."
22:38:27 < Lupin> "Well it might be so you get some distance between whatever it was back there, and yourself."
22:38:31 <@Baphnedia> the door creeps open
22:39:03 * Lupin sniffs the air coming through the doorway
22:39:17 <@Baphnedia> on the far side, you can smell cigarette smoke
22:39:41 < Lupin> "...I think there's someone ouside."
22:39:54 * Ralith stops
22:39:59 <@Baphnedia> !d12
22:40:01 < Ralith> "One of ours?"
22:40:02 <@Baphnedia> @d12
22:40:02 < SnakeEyes> Baphnedia Rolled d12 for a Total of 8
22:40:30 < Lupin> "All I smell is cigarette smoke."
22:40:49 * Aki readies his weapon just in case.
22:40:51 <@Baphnedia> The smell of exhaust creeps into your sense of smell.
22:41:01 * Ralith sniffs carefully
22:41:08 <@Baphnedia> (roll smell)
22:41:13 < Ralith> !d20+2 smell
22:41:17 < Ralith> @d20+2 smell
22:41:17 < SnakeEyes> Ralith Rolled d20+2 for a Total of 22 smell
22:41:23 < Ralith> ( )
22:41:25 < Lupin> (Nice)
22:42:10 < Ralith> "It's a human."
22:42:23 < Ralith> "Smells like a car's readied too."
22:42:41 < Lupin> "Just one?"
22:42:43 < Ralith> "This could be the group with the bioweapon. Do you think we've been noticed?"
22:42:45 < Ralith> "Just one."
22:43:01 < Aki> "I'm shooting out his tires, just in case."
22:43:08 < Lupin> "I don't think so."
22:43:08 < Ralith> "I think there might be others, but I can't smell anything of them"
22:43:14 < Ralith> "Don't.'
22:43:27 < Lupin> "We might need the car."
22:43:36 < Ralith> "If there is just one, maybe we can capture him."
22:43:37 < Aki> "He could get away though..."
22:43:39 < Ralith> "Has he noticed us?"
22:44:11 <@Baphnedia> You can hear the engine go into gear. The tires grate against the gravel a little bit.
22:44:21 < Ralith> "s***!"
22:44:27 * Ralith starts heaving on the door again
22:44:29 < Lupin> "I think we need to make our move now"
22:44:41 * Lupin readies his weapon
22:44:44 <@Baphnedia> The car swithces gears again, and drives off into the distance. A Ping is heard as a peice of gravel strikes corrugagted metal.
22:44:47 <@Baphnedia> *corrugated
22:45:07 < Ralith> "Damn..."
22:45:14 * Ralith sighs
22:45:31 < Aki> "This is one of those times I wish I had a sniper rifle.."
22:45:44 <@Baphnedia> (is the door still getting opened?)
22:46:00 < Lupin> (Yes, unless it's finished.)
22:46:31 <@Baphnedia> The door is open enough for you to see a little bit (it's very heavy, designed to hold back a meltdown, you suppose)
22:46:50 <@Baphnedia> It opens into a large shed/warehouse.
22:47:10 <@Baphnedia> There are boxes and crates stacked along the wall near you. The floor's been swept recently.
22:47:39 <@Baphnedia> As the door continues to open, ahead you can see a small disheveled nightstand with an ashtray on it.
22:48:12 <@Baphnedia> A cigarette is smoldering amongst it's brethern in the ashtray
22:48:21 <@Baphnedia> the door continues to open.
22:48:52 <@Baphnedia> You see a pair of feet against the side of the nightstand.
22:48:54 < Ralith> (I wonder if it's continuing to open?)
22:49:00 <@Baphnedia> Old worn shoes.
22:49:02 <@Baphnedia> (yes)
22:49:08 < Ralith> (whispered) "Looks like there was another..."
22:49:12 <@Baphnedia> The door opens further, you can enter the room now.
22:49:22 * Ralith looks to Lupin
22:49:29 * Lupin sniffs again before entering.
22:49:36 <@Baphnedia> THere is a light pitter-patter noise
22:49:57 < Lupin> (Like feet?)
22:50:01 <@Baphnedia> Smelly human = defacation
22:50:11 <@Baphnedia> (no - like water)
22:50:19 < Ralith> (haha)
22:50:20 <@Baphnedia> cigarette smoke
22:50:24 < Lupin> (Heh)
22:50:28 * Ralith grins. "I think we've caught him unprepared..."
22:50:29 <@Baphnedia> burnt flesh
22:50:42 <@Baphnedia> blood
22:50:53 <@Baphnedia> *pitter*
22:50:56 <@Baphnedia> *patter*
22:51:13 * Lupin raises his weapon and walks through the door.
22:51:19 * Ralith follows warily
22:51:29 * Aki follows
22:51:43 <@Baphnedia> There is a single, unshaven miscreant slumped back in a folding chair.
22:51:52 <@Baphnedia> It's a wonder that the whole affiar hasn't collapsed to the ground yet.
22:52:22 <@Baphnedia> A gun is on the floor, black.
22:52:28 < Ralith> (he still hasn't noticed us?)
22:52:28 <@Baphnedia> Rather, a pistol.
22:52:36 <@Baphnedia> The man's eyes are open in terror.
22:52:41 < Ralith> (oh.)
22:52:52 * Ralith dashes forward, grabbing the gun.
22:53:04 * Aki keeps his gun focused on the man
22:53:07 <@Baphnedia> But the fact that there's a whole in his head lends you to believe that he wasn't scared of you.
22:53:17 <@Baphnedia> *pitter*
22:53:21 <@Baphnedia> *patter*
22:53:30 < Aki> "...what the hell?"
22:53:34 < Lupin> "Well, that explains the blood."
22:53:44 < Ralith> "This getting weirder..."
22:53:45 <@Baphnedia> Whatever, or whomever, he was scared of, scared him to death.
22:54:10 < Lupin> "Never assume it can't get weirder."
22:54:37 <@Baphnedia> The disheveled nightstand (it looks like it'd been kicked around a little), has some papers stuffed in the drawer.
22:54:41 < Ralith> "I thought the humans were on the same side."
22:54:55 * Ralith walks over, pulling out the papers and examining them.
22:55:14 * Lupin looks around the rest of the warehouse
22:55:39 <@Baphnedia> Copies of large checks to a Don Walter are on top of the stack.
22:55:53 <@Baphnedia> The rest of the warehouse has stacks of stuff, boxes, crates, etc on pallets.
22:56:04 <@Baphnedia> The whole thing is made of wood and corrugated steel.
22:56:27 <@Baphnedia> Underneath that, there is a paper that has a strip map.
22:56:38 <@Baphnedia> All it has are five little circles spread around the page.
22:56:57 <@Baphnedia> An "H" with a circle around it is adjacent to the rightmost circle.
22:57:08 <@Baphnedia> The small circles have small numbers next to them, 1-5
22:57:29 <@Baphnedia> Lastly, there are six squares in one row of six, kind of in the middle.
22:57:37 < Ralith> "The exits?"
22:57:48 < Lupin> "Possibly"
22:57:57 < Lupin> "We shoud take that with us."
22:58:30 * Ralith nods, and stuffs it in one of the armorer's pockets when he's not looking
22:58:32 <@Baphnedia> Oh, the pistol, on closer examination is a 9m Beretta
22:58:40 <@Baphnedia> *9mm
22:58:47 < Ralith> (whee, that'd be fun)
22:58:57 < Ralith> (handheld orbital bombardment weaponry)
22:59:07 < Lupin> (Heh)
22:59:33 < Aki> (hehe)
23:00:12 <@Baphnedia> (hehe)
23:01:35 < Ralith> (did you mention the exit?)
23:01:57 <@Baphnedia> There's a corrugated metal door, next to a corrugated metal garage-door.
23:02:03 <@Baphnedia> (thx)
23:02:19 * Lupin walks over to the door.
23:02:24 * Ralith opens the door
23:02:36 < Ralith> (time to tell us what tiem of day it is)
23:02:36 -!- Baphnedia is now known as the_door
23:02:38 * the_door is opened
23:02:48 < Ralith> (time*)
23:02:48 < Aki> (haha)
23:03:08 -!- the_door is now known as Baphnedia
23:03:23 <@Baphnedia> The sun has set.
23:03:32 <@Baphnedia> The stars are out, and it's very cold outside.
23:03:39 <@Baphnedia> There is a light dusting of snow on the ground.
23:03:39 * Lupin sniffs the ouside air
23:04:01 <@Baphnedia> dairies, cows, grains, cold.
23:04:26 < Aki> "Oohh..snow. Cool..."
23:04:28 < Ralith> "Here again?"
23:04:45 * Ralith looks around for the car's tracks
23:04:48 < Lupin> "Well there isn't that much else in a farming community."
23:05:01 <@Baphnedia> The car's tracks stand out very well.
23:05:20 <@Baphnedia> However, once the snow melts, it might be harder to find it.
23:05:28 <@Baphnedia> If the snow melts.
23:05:56 < Ralith> "We'd better get going; we might be able to catch up. They can't be moving too fast in this snow."
23:06:04 < Lupin> "Yeah"
23:06:10 * Ralith drops to all fours again and starts running along the tracks
23:06:22 * Lupin drops to all fours and starts running again.
23:06:28 * Aki drops to all fours and follows after
23:07:08 <@Baphnedia> The tracks curve off of the fields onto a farmer's road.
23:07:34 <@Baphnedia> Once you're on the straight road, you can see a car turn, waaaaaay ahead.
23:08:18 * Lupin picks up speed after he sees the car.
23:08:18 * Ralith comes alongside Lupin, not slowing. "So what're our priorities? There's a decent chance of us getting seen."
23:08:56 < Aki> "Better to have some farmer hicks see a bunch of werewolves with guns than let that virus loose."
23:09:20 * Ralith nods. "True."
23:09:33 < Lupin> "Aki has a point. Plus they're not going to see very much, human night vision is terrible compared to ours."
23:09:34 < Ralith> (er, maybe I don't nod. That'd be kind of hard to do while moving like that.)
23:09:57 < Ralith> "Oh, right. Forgot about that."
23:10:18 < Ralith> "If anything we'll probably be mistaken for normal wolves."
23:11:10 < Lupin> "Yeah."
23:11:10 < Ralith> (time warning; not sure how long, but soonish I'll have to go)
23:11:13 <@Baphnedia> (let us know when)
23:11:20 < Ralith> (of course.)
23:11:37 <@Baphnedia> The car is leaving sight off to the right hand side, going behind a farm on another country road.
23:12:21 * Ralith executes a rapid turn, knocking snow into the air, and follows.
23:12:49 < Ralith> (nothing like the direct route)
23:12:53 * Aki quickly runs after Ralith
23:13:07 * Lupin turns as well, keeping up with Ralith
23:13:20 < Ralith> (hehe, why is it that in this sort of thing the chase scenes tend to be the most boring?)
23:13:37 < Lupin> (All of this farmland)
23:13:40 <@Baphnedia> The cold wind bites
23:13:46 <@Baphnedia> into your fur coats
23:13:47 < Aki> (no big explosions ^_^ )
23:13:54 <@Baphnedia> and this four line haiku
23:13:56 <@Baphnedia> is finished
23:14:01 < Aki> (haha)
23:14:03 < Ralith> (Things might get more interesting when they notice us.)
23:14:11 < Lupin> (Heh)
23:14:18 < Ralith> (is the car still in a relatively straight line ahead of us?)
23:14:18 <@Baphnedia> You are heading right onto a farmer's property
23:14:41 <@Baphnedia> you see the car emerge behind the house and barn continuing on that country road
23:14:44 <@Baphnedia> everyone roll sight
23:14:49 < Ralith> !d20+2 sight
23:14:53 < Lupin> @d20+2 sight
23:14:53 < SnakeEyes> Lupin Rolled d20+2 for a Total of 10 sight

23:14:59 < Aki> @d20+2 sight
23:14:59 < SnakeEyes> Aki Rolled d20+2 for a Total of 5 sight
23:15:02 < Aki> O.o
23:15:05 < Ralith> (this bot likes me)
23:15:19 < Aki> (hates me.)
23:15:44 < Ralith> (grr! right as things are starting to get rapid-paced, I have to go )
23:15:46 < Ralith> "FENCE!"
23:16:02 * Ralith tries his best to stop immidiatley
23:16:26 <@Baphnedia> (cya soon Ralith)
23:16:30 * Lupin puts the breaks on, digging his claws into the dirt.
23:16:34 < Ralith> (or not so soon.)
23:16:39 < Ralith> (try to save me some action, ok? )
23:17:04 < Lupin> (Got it.)
23:17:05 * Aki tries to stop as quickly as possible
23:17:54 <@Baphnedia> There is a light buzzing sound coming from the fence
23:18:31 <@Baphnedia> You skid to a halt a breath away from the wires
23:18:40 < Lupin> "Oh great, an electric fence."
23:19:13 < Lupin> "I wonder if these wire cutters from that tool box are insulated enough to cut through them?"
23:19:21 <@Baphnedia> It looks like it was designed to keep the cows in from a nearby farm.
23:19:35 <@Baphnedia> The car is getting away
23:20:07 < Aki> (how high is it?)
23:20:17 <@Baphnedia> 3 feet
23:20:41 < Aki> "We could probably jump this..."
23:20:42 <@Baphnedia> On all fours, you almost went face first into it.
23:21:16 < Lupin> "Yeah."
23:21:48 * Lupin backs away from the fence, gets a running start, and leaps over the fence.
23:22:14 < Lupin> (log post time)

23:22:22 * Aki backs away some, runs and jumps the fence as well
23:22:29 <@Baphnedia> The other side of the fence looks better.
23:22:45 <@Baphnedia> You are in an enclosed field. The car is leaving view, faar ahead and to the right.
23:23:09 * Lupin drops to all fours again and continues after the car.
23:23:38 * Aki follows Lupin, ucrsing
23:23:41 < Aki> cursing*
23:24:08 < Lupin> "Well have to do this again on the other side of the field I bet."
23:24:20 < Aki> "Prolly."
23:24:31 <@Baphnedia> Roll Sight
23:24:42 < Lupin> @d20+2 sight
23:24:42 < SnakeEyes> Lupin Rolled d20+2 for a Total of 15 sight
23:24:57 < Aki> @d20+2 sight
23:24:57 < SnakeEyes> Aki Rolled d20+2 for a Total of 11 sight
23:25:15 <@Baphnedia> You see the fence again... ahead of you.
23:25:29 < Lupin> "Here we go again."
23:25:52 * Lupin picks up speed, and leaps over the fence.
23:26:23 * Aki speeds up and jumps over the fence
23:27:12 <@Baphnedia> You clear the fence, and have about 100ft of yard to cross before you reach the road. Squares of light illuminate the yard a little, as the lights are on in some of the rooms of the farm house that you're about to pass.
23:29:04 * Lupin heads for the road trying to avoid the light as much as possible
23:29:07 <@Baphnedia> To run through the squares, or to run around them?
23:29:14 <@Baphnedia> The car is still gaining distance.
23:29:43 <@Baphnedia> Light flicks off of Lupin's coat every once in awhile (there are only a few squares), as he runs to the road.
23:29:49 <@Baphnedia> Lupin and Aki reach the road.
23:30:30 * Lupin resumes his original speed, following the car.
23:31:08 * Aki follows the car, speeding up some
23:31:08 <@Baphnedia> A small plume of white trails behind the car as you start trying to close with it.
23:31:26 <@Baphnedia> The car is an old Cadillac, a dark color, maybe black. It has tinted windows.
23:32:36 < Lupin> "That's an odd vehicle to be out in the middle of nowhere."
23:32:40 -!- Figarou [Figarou@*.satx.res.rr.com] has joined #paradice
23:32:46 < Aki> (hey fig!)
23:32:54 < Lupin> (Hi Fig.)
23:33:06 < Figarou> Yo!!
23:33:14 < Figarou> Wait are you guys role playing?
23:33:20 <@Baphnedia> (hiya fig)
23:33:25 < Lupin> (Yes.)
23:33:34 < Figarou> oh...count me out
23:33:49 <@Baphnedia> (you're welcome to watch)
23:34:21 <@Baphnedia> The caddy makes another right turn, running a decrepit stop sign.
23:34:34 < Figarou> no thanks. I've seen it in real life. (White wolf role playing.) Its not my cup of tea.
23:35:07 * Lupin turns right, ignoring the sign as well.
23:35:17 <@Baphnedia> (hehe that stuff ain't my cup of tea either...)
23:35:35 <@Baphnedia> The stop sign is bright red. Despite this, everyone seems to ignore it.
23:36:03 <@Baphnedia> The car is only going about 25mph on the snow. The road beneath is gravelly.
23:36:03 < Lupin> (Well, the sign applies to vehicles, not werewolves.)
23:36:23 <@Baphnedia> (just you wait - I swear I'll pull you over!)
23:36:42 <@Baphnedia> (hehe we ran a red light in a horse drawn buggy tonight)
23:37:01 <@Baphnedia> Lupin and Aki are gaining on the cadillac
23:37:03 < Lupin> (Was that the horse's idea, or yours?)
23:37:16 < Aki> (heh)
23:37:16 <@Baphnedia> (the driver's)
23:38:01 * Lupin slows down a bit, trying to match the speed of the cadillac.
23:38:12 <@Baphnedia> Your muscles appreciate the break.
23:39:25 < Aki> "So. What do we do? Tail it...or try and stop it?"
23:39:35 <@Baphnedia> The plume of snow behind the caddy (thanks to a light dusting) is probably screening you.
23:40:07 < Figarou> Well, I'm going to experiment with my PC's video card. I want to see if I can hook it up to my HDTV.
23:40:29 < Lupin> "I'm going to tail it. They might be heading the other exit."
23:40:56 < Figarou> So long everyone.
23:40:59 <@Baphnedia> (sounds good Fig, some of us will be here when you're done)
23:41:02 < Aki> (Bye fig)
23:41:05 < Lupin> "And if we try to stop it, and aren't successful, they might alert the other people"
23:41:06 <@Baphnedia> (catcha later!)
23:41:09 < Lupin> (later)
23:41:18 < Figarou> ok later. signing off.
23:41:22 -!- Figarou [Figarou@*.satx.res.rr.com] has quit []
23:41:58 < Aki> "Good point...but two werewolves following a car might alert them too."
23:42:24 <@Baphnedia> The car keeps rolling ahead
23:42:30 <@Baphnedia> It IS cold out here.
23:42:40 < Lupin> "That's why we're following them this far behind."

23:45:26 < SnakeEyes> Baphnedia Rolled d97 for a Total of 5
23:45:46 <@Baphnedia> You continue to tail the car?
23:45:49 * Lupin contiunes tailing the car, turning left
23:46:08 * Aki continues tailing the car as well
23:46:16 <@Baphnedia> It is passing farms, and more farms, etc. Very boring scenery.
23:46:25 <@Baphnedia> The cows are all inside.
23:46:59 <@Baphnedia> There are power poles with power and telephone wires going down the right side of the road.
23:47:04 <@Baphnedia> @d96
23:47:04 < SnakeEyes> Baphnedia Rolled d96 for a Total of 86

23:48:22 <@Baphnedia> Several minutes go by.
23:48:24 < Lupin> "Hmm, we can't tail them through the town."
23:48:37 <@Baphnedia> Another sign reads "Edgerton 2 miles"
23:48:58 <@Baphnedia> Another sign shortly thereafter "Welcome to Welco County"
23:49:32 < Aki> "Yeah."
23:49:33 <@Baphnedia> A minute later you see a billboard, lit, with Wel-Co, premium source of water."
23:49:52 < Lupin> "Aki, I think if they get within that last mile, we should take the car."
23:49:52 <@Baphnedia> @d94

23:50:53 < SnakeEyes> Baphnedia Rolled d92 for a Total of 68
23:51:07 * Lupin starts picking up speed, closing distance with the car.
23:52:01 * Aki speeds up too. "So how we gonna do this? Jump on the back?"
23:52:02 <@Baphnedia> The car is still going forward
23:52:56 < Lupin> "Yeah."
23:53:07 <@Baphnedia> (roll jump)

23:53:49 <@Baphnedia> You both miss the car completely and land in the road, the car gaining distance
23:53:52 < Lupin> "s***."
23:53:58 <@Baphnedia> there is still time for another chance

23:56:09 < SnakeEyes> Aki Rolled d20+2 for a Total of 8 Grab
23:56:13 < Aki> (>_<)
23:56:36 <@Baphnedia> you tried to grab the bumper, but your claws slip and you wind up hitting the gravel.
23:56:48 <@Baphnedia> Granted, there's a little bit of snow to cusion your fall.
23:57:03 <@Baphnedia> The car, and Lupin are going away from you - you might be able to get onto the car before twon.
23:57:23 * Aki growls and gets up, running to catch the car.
23:58:01 <@Baphnedia> You see the car pickup speed.
23:58:22 <@Baphnedia> It will take 2 minutes to catch up to it... by then you'll be in town, but so will Lupin.
23:59:08 < Lupin> (1/4?)
23:59:52 <@Baphnedia> (pardon me while I have fun... )
23:59:59 * Aki yells, "Lupin, stop the damned thing already!"
00:00:20 * Lupin takes out his 9mm pistol reaches over the side and fires at the rear right tire.
00:00:20 <@Baphnedia> The car is zipping past houses in a residential area.
00:00:29 <@Baphnedia> (roll fire)
00:00:47 <@Baphnedia> The sound of the gunshot echoes through the quiet streets of this peaceful town.

00:01:38 -!- Guest2 [~Vilkacis@*.nw-tel.com] has quit [Connection reset by peer]
00:01:42 < Lupin> (This bot just does not like me.)
00:01:45 <@Baphnedia> PSSHHHHhhh

00:03:05 < Lupin> (Hmm, TV when out, looks like it's going to rain.)
00:03:06 <@Baphnedia> The car lurches to the right as the rear right tire goes instantly flat.
00:03:24 < Lupin> (went)
00:03:41 <@Baphnedia> The driver tries to compensate and the vehicle goes into a four wheel slide down the road.
00:03:45 <@Baphnedia> Lupin, roll grab.

00:03:52 <@Baphnedia> Aki, you can try to jump onto the car now.
00:04:13 * Aki jumps for the car
00:04:15 <@Baphnedia> With the gun in hand, you were unprepared for the car to lurch like it did and got flung.
00:04:22 < Aki> @d20+2
00:04:22 < SnakeEyes> Aki Rolled d20+2 for a Total of 3
00:04:30 < Aki> (Oi...)
00:04:43 <@Baphnedia> Rolling in the street, you see that your gun isn't in your hand anymore, and your side is rather painful.
00:04:56 <@Baphnedia> Aki misses the car completely, and passes Lupin
00:05:25 <@Baphnedia> (you two roll as bad as I do!)
00:05:35 < Lupin> (Well normally the bot likes me)
00:06:06 * Lupin searches for the his gun, not wanting to use his rifle in this area.
00:06:08 <@Baphnedia> Someone is trying to break out the back window, and cracks are starting to show across it, as the driver regains control of the car and speeds up again.
00:06:45 <@Baphnedia> (roll sight)
00:06:51 < Lupin> @d20+2 sight
00:06:51 < SnakeEyes> Lupin Rolled d20+2 for a Total of 11 sight
00:06:56 < Aki> @d20+2 sight
00:06:56 < SnakeEyes> Aki Rolled d20+2 for a Total of 18 sight
00:07:07 <@Baphnedia> The gun is sitting next to a car parked on the side of the road.
00:07:24 * Lupin grabs the gun, and takes off after the car.
00:07:47 <@Baphnedia> The car is speeding through stopsigns
00:08:09 < Lupin> (Lighting!)
00:08:24 <@Baphnedia> (bzzrt!)
00:09:00 * Aki speeds after the car, saying to Lupin "Cops are nearby."
00:09:01 <@Baphnedia> Emergency lights flash asthe town's sherriff pulls out onto the street from the parking lot.
00:09:28 <@Baphnedia> The siren of the squad car is painful to the ear, the lights distracting.
00:09:34 < Lupin> "Crap"
00:09:45 <@Baphnedia> The squad car is between you and the cadillac, but it's chasing the caddy.
00:11:14 * Lupin tries to stay out of sight of the squad car
00:11:40 < Lupin> (Whee, that DDoS attack is still going on.)
00:11:53 * Aki does likewise.
00:12:53 <@Baphnedia> (are you still chasing, or more hiding?)
00:13:09 < Lupin> (Chasing)
00:13:53 <@Baphnedia> The squad car gives chase.
00:14:08 <@Baphnedia> You can hear several shots ring out. (roll dodge)

00:14:45 < Aki> (heyza)
00:14:47 <@Baphnedia> the front left headlight of the squadcar goes out.
00:14:53 <@Baphnedia> (hiya)
00:14:56 < Lupin> (hey)
00:14:57 < Vilkacis> (heya1)
00:15:00 < Vilkacis> (heya')
00:15:21 <@Baphnedia> Two other bullets richochet off the street but fly past both of you.

00:15:37 -!- Lycaon [~DiceBot@*.nw-tel.com] has joined #paradice
00:15:43 < Vilkacis> (I'm not sure what's going on right now)
00:15:50 < Lupin> (Chase scene.)
00:16:08 < Lupin> (We found a car at the exit, and we're going after it.)
00:16:30 < Vilkacis> (I think I'll sit out this time, until I can read the logs.)
00:16:50 < Vilkacis> (I've got something I'm working on right now anyway)
00:17:02 < Lupin> (The first part is posted in the threadm and I'm about to post the second in a few minutes.)
00:17:54 <@Baphnedia> The driver's window rolls down and an armed arm sticks out, placing bullets on the cadillac.
00:18:47 <@Baphnedia> You hear another tire go PSSSSSSSHHHhhhh and this time, the caddy swerves to the left.
00:19:30 <@Baphnedia> It runs straight into a lightpole. Two men fly through the windshield.
00:19:42 <@Baphnedia> (villains never are safe drivers)
00:20:12 <@Baphnedia> The officer pulls up and crouching behind the door, shouts "Everyone out of the vehicle NOW!!"
00:20:54 < Lupin> (Log post time again.)
00:24:05 <@Baphnedia> (ok.... good stopping point)
[LINE OMITTED]
00:24:22 <@Baphnedia> The previous line does not need to go in the logs.
00:24:34 < Aki> hehe
00:24:37 < Lupin> Heh
00:25:01 <@Baphnedia> I have a lot of describing to do for this scene, though it isn't the only thing that you could've done today...

{several hours later}

22:52:55 * Baphnedia is off the phone
22:53:03 < Vilkacis> *gasp*
22:53:04 <@Baphnedia> let us celebrate!
22:53:14 <@Baphnedia> And *gasp* I need something to consume!
22:53:21 * Baphnedia runs off to get food and drink
22:55:06 < Lupin> Yay
22:56:37 <@Baphnedia> Now that my mind is fried.
22:56:45 <@Baphnedia> I am in a condition to run a game.
22:57:27 < Aki> hehe
22:57:36 * Baphnedia is out of his mind.
22:57:49 < Lupin> Uh-oh
22:58:00 < Darkmoon> ooo that can't be good
22:58:02 <@Baphnedia> And so is the sherrif of Edgerton
22:58:25 <@Baphnedia> A quick scene description
22:58:33 <@Baphnedia> since we have many rejoining the group.
22:59:03 <@Baphnedia> The group found an 'interesting' part of the facility.
22:59:16 <@Baphnedia> If you haven't read the logs, then you need to do so - because everyone is affected by it.
22:59:59 <@Baphnedia> The group chased a car, a black cadillac
23:00:00 < Lupin> (Lets if I can load the log page in IE...)
23:00:12 < Darkmoon> i read it..took quite a long time too
23:00:12 <@Baphnedia> down a couple of old farm roads.
23:00:22 <@Baphnedia> This great.
23:00:28 <@Baphnedia> Anyone else need to play catchup?
23:00:40 < Vilkacis> (I've read everything)
23:00:45 <@Baphnedia> great.
23:01:04 <@Baphnedia> Current scene - the caddy with both rear tires blown out, swerved and hit a light pole.
23:01:18 <@Baphnedia> The driver and front passenger exited the vehicle peacefully through the windshield.
23:01:42 <@Baphnedia> *hit either a light pole or something else...
23:01:57 <@Baphnedia> The two in the back are still in the back of the caddy.
23:02:29 <@Baphnedia> The sherriff yells, pointing his gun at the vehicle, taking cover from his driver's door, "Get out of the car now!!"
23:02:46 <@Baphnedia> So far, you don't think he's noticed you.
23:03:09 < Vilkacis> (Are we going to deal with the fact that there's no way I could have kept up in human form, but no way I could have carried everything if I shifted, or shall we just ignore that?)
23:03:09 <@Baphnedia> You are all a ways off to his left, further down the street, where you were trying to hide from him and prying eyes.
23:03:28 <@Baphnedia> Vilkacis, you all put it in Darkmoon's backpack ;)
23:03:49 < Vilkacis> (Okay, so I'm shifted now, then)
23:03:53 <@Baphnedia> (yep)
23:03:55 < Darkmoon> (yay me... the pack mule!)
23:03:56 < Vilkacis> (Awoo)
23:04:03 < Aki> (haha)
23:04:18 <@Baphnedia> (the pack mule carring plastic explosives... or... did they tell you what that stuff was?)
23:05:03 < Darkmoon> (heheh..BOOOM!)
23:05:07 <@Baphnedia> (is anyone else with us?)
23:05:10 <@Baphnedia> (hehe)
23:05:26 -!- Vilkacis is now known as A1465
23:05:28 < Lupin> (I assume she knows what it was)
23:05:37 <@Baphnedia> (she read the logs)
23:05:41 < A1465> (She would have been there with us)
23:05:59 <@Baphnedia> So, what is everyone's action? This is going action by action as it plays out, by the way.
23:06:19 < Lupin> "We need to get the sheriff away from the car."
23:06:20 * A1465 slows down a bit.
23:06:40 < A1465> "I'd rather not be seen."
23:06:58 < A1465> "But we can't let them get away, either."
23:07:07 < Lupin> "Well, that's a given. But we still need to get to the men in the car."
23:07:30 <@Baphnedia> You are on a residential street, houses to either side. A light, here or there, is coming on. The flashing of the cop's lights are bringing undue attention to the scene unfolding.
23:07:54 * A1465 looks around for options, perhaps places to hide.
23:08:16 <@Baphnedia> There are plenty of cars parked on either side of the road, or the gaps between houses look inviting.
23:08:34 < Aki> (mumbled) "Arwoooo..Werewolves of Edgerton..."
23:08:49 < A1465> "We either need to take him out fast, or get out of sight."
23:09:14 * Lupin nods "Yeah. But how?"
23:09:19 <@Baphnedia> The sheriff yells, "GET OUT OF THE CAR!!"
23:09:40 <@Baphnedia> He tenses up, he looks like he's going to make a run over there, and extricate them himself.
23:09:42 < A1465> "He's not paying attention to what's behind him. It would be easy."
23:09:56 <@Baphnedia> He grabs a radio, and calls the station for the deputies to come out and help him.
23:10:35 * A1465 curses.
23:10:37 < Lupin> "Oh crap, he's bringing in backup."
23:11:02 < A1465> "It's unfortunate, the officer may get hurt, but we need to act now."
23:11:11 < Lupin> "We need to take him out, yes."
23:11:15 <@Baphnedia> He puts the radio down, and resumes yelling at the car.
23:11:29 <@Baphnedia> The car, as expected, doesn't listen.
23:11:45 <@Baphnedia> *editorial fix: yelling at the people in the car.
23:12:01 * A1465 starts sneaking up behind the officer, moving as silently as possible, with great care.
23:12:13 <@Baphnedia> (roll sneak)
23:12:13 * A1465 is ready to pounce the moment he is seen.
23:12:20 <@Baphnedia> !d20 paying attention
23:12:20 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 18 paying attention

23:12:33 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 15 reaction
23:12:37 * Darkmoon watches
23:13:05 < A1465> (How close am I?)
23:13:07 <@Baphnedia> He flips around, staring at A1465, with bug eyes, pointing a gun at you with one hand, and he's reaching for his discarded radio.
23:13:20 * A1465 rushes forward, as quickly as possible!
23:13:21 <@Baphnedia> !d30
23:13:21 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d30 for a total of 3.
23:13:24 * A1465 leaps!
23:13:38 <@Baphnedia> A1465, you connect with him, his gun goes off!
23:13:46 <@Baphnedia> !d20 firearms

23:14:35 <@Baphnedia> !d6.5+6.5
23:14:35 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d6.5 + 6.5 for a total of 10.5.

23:15:19 < A1465> !d20+2.5 whatchamacallit
23:15:19 < Lycaon> A1465 rolled d20 + 2.5 for a total of 7.5 whatchamacallit
23:15:29 < A1465> (/me beats Lycaon with a stick.)
23:15:45 < A1465> (These are just terrible rolls!)
23:15:45 <@Baphnedia> A bullet grazes by you, passing through an ear.
23:15:57 <@Baphnedia> The pain is intense, an eardrum may have popped.
23:16:10 * A1465 growls fiercely in pain.
23:16:17 <@Baphnedia> But, you have him pinned between you and the car door.
23:16:34 <@Baphnedia> Noises are also coming from the people in the car.
23:16:36 * A1465 claws the arm carrying the gun.
23:16:49 <@Baphnedia> !d20 grab
23:16:49 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 20 grab
23:17:15 <@Baphnedia> He's hanging on to that gun for dear life... but right now he can't seem to point it at you.
23:17:51 * A1465 attempts to choke him with the other arm, whilst keeping him pinned and fending off the officer's gun arm.
23:18:00 <@Baphnedia> You hear the lights before you see the sirens of the deputies departing the PD.
23:18:06 * Darkmoon removes the bright orange backpack and moves slowly toward the car, careful to remain in the shadows.
23:18:09 * Lupin goes around A1465 and the sheriff and tries to start opening the back door of the car
23:18:35 <@Baphnedia> There are two guns pointed in Lupin's face.
23:18:44 <@Baphnedia> One in the posession of each passenger.
23:18:54 < Lupin> "Crap."
23:19:07 <@Baphnedia> The driver and front passenger are still in front of the car.
23:19:15 <@Baphnedia> Along with the windshield.
23:19:24 <@Baphnedia> One of the passengers fires!
23:19:29 <@Baphnedia> !d20 against Lupin
23:19:29 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 3 against Lupin
23:19:39 < Lupin> (Roll dodge?)
23:19:43 <@Baphnedia> The rear door glass shatters as they fire and...
23:19:47 <@Baphnedia> (don't bother)
23:20:08 <@Baphnedia> (I think you have at least a +2 bonus anyway)
23:20:23 < Lupin> (3, I thought.)
23:20:39 < A1465> (It is three, as I recall)
23:20:41 <@Baphnedia> ...the bullet finds its way into a house.
23:20:44 < Lupin> (17:29:35 <@Baphnedia> Lupin 3)
23:20:54 <@Baphnedia> (that's why I said at least 2)
23:21:01 <@Baphnedia>
23:21:17 <@Baphnedia> A1465, is pinning the sherriff.
23:21:24 <@Baphnedia> Darkmoon, is sneaking around.
23:21:37 <@Baphnedia> Lupin, is getting shot at, trying to kindly let the passengers out.
23:21:41 * A1465 does his best to 'roar' ferociously in the sheriff's face, trying to intimidate him.
23:21:53 <@Baphnedia> Marvelously, it works.
23:22:03 <@Baphnedia> You can hand the sheriff a pacifier now.
23:22:09 <@Baphnedia> Your ear is bleeding, btw.
23:22:11 < A1465> (lol)
23:22:26 * Aki readies his rifle and aims it at the passenger that fired, before returning fire.
23:22:29 <@Baphnedia> Lights come on all over the neighborhood.
23:22:37 < A1465> (does the officer drop the gun?)
23:22:39 <@Baphnedia> (roll fire)
23:22:42 < Lupin> (Aargh, I keep getting disconnected from SSH )

23:22:51 < Lycaon> A1465 rolled d20 + 2.5 for a total of 17.5 fire
23:22:55 <@Baphnedia> (we don't see you disappearing)
23:23:08 <@Baphnedia> (sry, I meant Aki)
23:23:13 <@Baphnedia> (Aki rol fire)
23:23:14 < Lupin> (I know, but it's still annoying to me.)
23:23:15 < Aki> !d20+3
23:23:15 < Lycaon> Aki rolled d20 + 3 for a total of 23.
23:23:22 < Aki> (O.o )
23:23:33 < Lupin> (Wow)
23:23:45 <@Baphnedia> You hit him in the head. He ain't waking up. The other guy in the car tries to fire at Lupin!
23:23:49 <@Baphnedia> !d20 against Lupin
23:23:49 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 17 against Lupin
23:23:51 * A1465 attempts to throw the officer behind him to the ground.

23:24:02 < Lupin> !d20+3 dodge
23:24:02 < Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 3 for a total of 20 dodge
23:24:16 <@Baphnedia> That bullet finds it's way into a Suburban.
23:24:18 < A1465> (away from the gun, btw)
23:24:34 <@Baphnedia> The sheriff gets thrown on the ground. Rather, discarded.
23:24:40 * Darkmoon yelps at the sound of the guns going off, pinning her ears back she slinks even deeper into the shadows. She comes up on the other side of the car and throws the door open.
23:24:59 <@Baphnedia> The man has his back to you, Darkmoon
23:25:06 <@Baphnedia> (roll pin A1465)
23:25:09 * Lupin takes this oppertunity to get out of the line of sight of the people with the guns.
23:25:13 < A1465> !d20+2.5 pin
23:25:13 < Lycaon> A1465 rolled d20 + 2.5 for a total of 9.5 pin
23:25:13 < Darkmoon> (yup)
23:25:15 <@Baphnedia> (he was pacified... but that's changed now)
23:25:25 <@Baphnedia> !d20 wrestle sheriff
23:25:26 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 15 wrestle sheriff
23:25:35 <@Baphnedia> A1465, you aren't able to pin him.
23:26:03 <@Baphnedia> He tries to reverse the pin, but that doesn't work either.
23:26:26 * A1465 claws at his arms
23:26:27 <@Baphnedia> Darkmoon, the man in the car is just realizing the door was opened behind him, eventhough he's still aiming for Lupin.
23:26:34 <@Baphnedia> The sheriff screams!
23:26:45 <@Baphnedia> (ok so that's not much of a surprise....)
23:26:49 <@Baphnedia>
23:26:59 * Darkmoon doesn't want the man to fire at Lupin if she attacks him.
23:27:04 * A1465 bashes him in the temple with his elbow
23:27:24 * A1465 growls menacingly
23:27:34 < Lupin> (Darkmoon, I've already left the doorway of the car.)
23:27:41 * Darkmoon also wants the man alive so that he can tell her, and the others his plans.
23:27:44 <@Baphnedia> Seeing that Lupin is out of his sight now, he points his gun behind him blindly and fires!
23:27:50 <@Baphnedia> !d20 attack Darkmoon
23:27:50 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 5 attack Darkmoon

23:31:26 * Baphnedia pokes Akela
23:31:39 < Lupin> (Back, ssh disconnected again)
23:31:51 < A1465> (She'll probably be back in a moment)
23:31:57 < Lupin> (Her internet is flaky.)
23:32:02 <@Baphnedia> (do you still have the log... or does someone else need to post that?)
23:32:07 <@Baphnedia> (true)
23:32:12 < Lupin> (I still have it.)

23:32:33 <@Baphnedia> Darkmoon grabs the man's shoulder, and has him by her teeth. He drops the gun on the floor of the car.
23:32:35 < A1465> (/me continues)

23:32:37 < Lupin> (wb)
23:33:19 * A1465 puts on an angry-face and stares down the sheriff.
23:33:21 <@Baphnedia> The deputies are rushing to the scene in their cars, sirens blazing. They're about half a dozen blocks away.
23:33:54 * Darkmoon utters a muffled snarl and drags the man backwards out of the car where she can get a better grip on her prey.
23:34:27 < Aki> "We really reeally need to get out of her fast-like..."
23:34:28 <@Baphnedia> The man looks at Darkmoon with a confused, scared expression. "I.. I.."
23:34:29 * Lupin quickly rushes around and grabs the other perosn in the car
23:34:39 <@Baphnedia> 5 blocks away.
23:34:49 * A1465 is starting to get worried.
23:34:57 <@Baphnedia> Lupin grabs the man with a GSW to the head.
23:35:04 <@Baphnedia> 4 blocks away.
23:35:21 <@Baphnedia> They might be able to see you from where they are.
23:35:32 * Darkmoon keeps her teeth in the man, trying to ignore the taste of his blood. She continues to haul him backwards out of the light.
23:35:45 * Lupin upon seeing the wound drops him. "We need to go, NOW"
23:35:53 * Aki nods
23:35:54 * A1465 tenses.
23:36:06 * Lupin looks around for an exit.
23:36:45 <@Baphnedia> Exits are the road, the road is partially blocked by the cop car and the caddy
23:36:56 <@Baphnedia> There are all the backyards.
23:37:04 <@Baphnedia> This is a residential area.
23:37:06 <@Baphnedia> 3 blocks
23:37:18 < Lupin> "Between the houses, now."
23:37:21 * A1465 leaps up, scooping up the sheriff's gun.
23:37:29 <@Baphnedia> (left or right?)
23:37:39 * A1465 takes a few parting shots at the sheriff's vehicle's tires.
23:37:40 <@Baphnedia> (or both?)
23:37:44 < Lupin> "Left!"
23:37:49 * Aki rushes for the space between the houses to the left
23:37:52 * Lupin takes off
23:37:52 * A1465 rushes after them.
23:38:10 <@Baphnedia> 2 blocks. The deputies are starting to slow down a little bit.
23:38:24 <@Baphnedia> The sheriff rolls over onto his belly painfully.
23:38:30 * Darkmoon pulls the man backward with her, hooking the backpack with her paw as she follows the others.
23:38:31 < A1465> !d20+2.5 did I hit any tires?
23:38:31 < Lycaon> A1465 rolled d20 + 2.5 for a total of 21.5 did I hit any tires?
23:38:39 <@Baphnedia> (yeah)
23:38:55 <@Baphnedia> (the sheriff's car has a couple flats now to... trendy around here.)
23:39:22 <@Baphnedia> The houses you're between have siding, and rather cheap siding at that.
23:39:26 * A1465 hopes we haven't been seen, but highly doubts it.
23:39:31 <@Baphnedia> The siding is of light homey colors.
23:39:48 <@Baphnedia> Trimmed with white wood.
23:40:09 <@Baphnedia> The foundations are concrete. The backyards aren't fenced.
23:40:17 < A1465> (That's nice)
23:40:20 < Lupin> "It's not so much, if we've been seen, but what they though they saw."
23:40:50 <@Baphnedia> The sheriff sure will have an interesting story to tell.
23:40:59 <@Baphnedia> Place your bets now on what institution he goes to!
23:41:05 < A1465> (heh)
23:41:12 < Lupin> (Haha)
23:41:16 <@Baphnedia> The prisoner that Lupin is holding is quiet.
23:41:25 < A1465> (Well, I clawed up his arms pretty good...)
23:41:56 < Darkmoon> (lupin got a prisoner?)
23:42:00 <@Baphnedia> The one that Darkmoon is holding grumbles every now and then. If he speaks, he starts with "I.." and trails off.
23:42:15 * A1465 hurries along.
23:42:19 <@Baphnedia> 1 block.
23:42:23 * A1465 looks behind him every so often.
23:42:41 <@Baphnedia> (hurries along to where? through the backyards?)'
23:42:46 < A1465> (yes, yes)
23:42:54 < Lupin> (yes)
23:42:54 <@Baphnedia> (just chekcing )
23:43:18 < A1465> (Just trying to impart a sense that we are actually moving, or something )
23:43:34 <@Baphnedia> (glad to know it... I thought you were watching from the gap...)
23:43:42 <@Baphnedia> (the whole group is going?)
23:43:47 <@Baphnedia> (following A1465?)
23:44:00 < A1465> (I was following them. I assumed we were running...)
23:44:02 * Darkmoon spits the man out and hauls him up on his feet, placing a hand on his mauled shoulder and pushing him along.
23:44:11 < A1465> (Or hobbling)
23:44:39 < Lupin> (Following me.)
23:44:40 <@Baphnedia> "Yow!~ he yells for a moment.
23:44:56 * A1465 growls!
23:45:04 <@Baphnedia> The man shuts up.
23:45:13 < Lupin> (Not that I have idea where I'm going, other than away.)
23:45:15 <@Baphnedia> !d20 dark spot
23:45:15 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 3 dark spot
23:45:47 <@Baphnedia> The backyards have the usual amenities.

23:46:07 < Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 3 for a total of 9 navigation
23:46:27 < A1465> (What are you doing? Leading us in circles? :Pppp)
23:46:44 < Lupin> (Well it's not like I have a map)
23:46:52 < Lupin> (Well, a labeled map, anyway)
23:47:21 < A1465> (We should have taken the police car. Heh. That would've been hilarious.)
23:47:45 < Lupin> (Yeah, we keep forgetting to take the cars.)
23:47:54 <@Baphnedia> (take the bus!)
23:47:58 <@Baphnedia> (*ahem)
23:48:08 <@Baphnedia> !d8
23:48:08 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d8 for a total of 3.
23:48:16 * Baphnedia hmms
23:48:37 <@Baphnedia> Lupin leads the group in the direction that he thinks will lead you out of town the fastest.
23:48:45 <@Baphnedia> You pass backyard after backyard.
23:48:54 <@Baphnedia> The ruckuss of the scene from behind you dies down."
23:48:55 * A1465 's ear is troubling him even more now.
23:48:58 <@Baphnedia> (not literally)
23:49:13 * A1465 sighs under his breath.
23:49:21 <@Baphnedia> Your ear really hurts. Almost to the point of affecting your balance.
23:49:36 * A1465 drops to all fours to compensate.
23:49:47 <@Baphnedia> This position seems better.
23:50:09 <@Baphnedia> You know you're going to have to find a doctor... a vet... something. Maybe in the infirmary?
23:50:38 <@Baphnedia> You all pass more houses, that give way to a trailer park, ahead of you.
23:51:14 < Lupin> (Well if we had some clothing someone could always pretend that A1465 was their dog after he shifted to full wolf.)
23:51:15 <@Baphnedia> It's called 'Gentle Pines' but you haven't seen a pine tree in this area at all.
23:51:35 < A1465> "We have to find some way back to the Silo," A1465 calls quietly ahead.
23:52:04 * A1465 wonders what we left back in the car.
23:52:29 < Lupin> "And we still need to find whatever they did with that virus"
23:52:43 < Aki> "Well, we still got a living prisoner.."
23:53:26 < A1465> (There are two, right? Wasn't Darkmoon dragging one, too?)
23:53:46 < Lupin> (Yes.)
23:53:47 <@Baphnedia> Lupin is dragging a prisoner.
23:53:57 < Darkmoon> (he is?)
23:54:01 <@Baphnedia> (yes, Lupin and Darkmoon)
23:54:07 < Aki> (the guy I nailed in the head. ^_^ )
23:54:08 < Darkmoon> (oook)
23:54:08 <@Baphnedia> (yeah, his got shot in the head)
23:54:21 < A1465> (dead or alive?)
23:54:21 < Darkmoon> (and he is...alive?)
23:54:28 <@Baphnedia> (no one has checked yet)
23:54:33 < A1465> (lol)
23:54:34 <@Baphnedia> (he just grabbed 'em)
23:54:44 < Darkmoon> (ah..i see..)
23:54:45 < A1465> (well, maybe there's something on the body)
23:54:47 <@Baphnedia> Darkmoon, yours might make an upstanding ww someday.
23:55:02 < Darkmoon> (cuz i bit him?)
23:55:13 <@Baphnedia> (so now he's dead? Is somebody gonna check Lupin's prisoner?)
23:55:22 <@Baphnedia> (why else Darkmoon?)
23:55:56 * Baphnedia taps the keyboard.
23:56:04 < Lupin> (Well, except for the fact that he tried to shoot at me and all...)
23:56:28 * Lupin slows a bit to see if the person he's carrying is still alive.
23:56:43 < A1465> "Come on, we need to hurry. What are you doing?"
23:56:50 * A1465 is getting irritated.
23:57:02 < A1465> (Mostly due to his injury)
23:57:18 * A1465 growls under his breath.
23:57:19 <@Baphnedia> There is a little hole above his left eye, and a big hole in the back of his head. You're past the trailer park. Now moving into more houses.
23:57:34 <@Baphnedia> Lupin's prisoner is not breathing.
23:57:40 <@Baphnedia> But the body is still kinda warm.
23:58:16 * Lupin sighs "Well, it's Kennedy all over again." and resumes his pace.
23:59:00 * Darkmoon keeps prodding her prisoner to move faster.
23:59:04 <@Baphnedia> Finally, you cross what you think is the last row of houses.
23:59:28 <@Baphnedia> Only to find, MORE HOUS... the first farm ahead, across the next street.
Day changed to 28 Nov 2005
00:00:23 < Lupin> (log post)

00:00:25 <@Baphnedia> The chase went on for a few miles, and you're not sure where the silo is from wher eyou are.
00:00:35 * Lupin looks around for somplace dark.
00:01:02 <@Baphnedia> There is a long row of shade trees ahead.
00:01:10 <@Baphnedia> A good distance from the farmhouse.
00:01:13 * Darkmoon keeps moving, looking up at the sky to see if she can tell which direction they are moving in.
00:01:34 <@Baphnedia> (roll navigation Darkmoon)
00:01:35 < A1465> "We need to find a good place to hide for a moment so we can interrogate the prisoner and ditch any dead weight."
00:01:48 < Darkmoon> d20+3 navigation
00:01:58 < Darkmoon> (oops)

00:02:05 < Darkmoon> d20 +3 navigation
00:02:17 <@Baphnedia> (ok, now I can laugh)
00:02:19 < Lupin> (needs more !)
00:02:23 < A1465> "How much dead weight there is will depend on how well he talks," A1465 growls at the living prisoner.
00:02:27 < Darkmoon> (nooooo y must i not be able to type!)
00:02:28 <@Baphnedia> !d20+3 navigation Darkmoon
00:02:29 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 + 3 for a total of 13 navigation Darkmoon
00:03:32 * Baphnedia forgot to mention that blood is a pretty red in the snow in Edgerton...
00:04:11 < A1465> (There's snow, then?)
00:04:30 < Darkmoon> (i thought it was a light dusting)
00:04:39 < A1465> (I don't remember)
00:04:52 < A1465> (kk, good to know)
00:05:19 * Darkmoon looks at her prisoner and agrees with A1465. "We should stop here."
00:05:31 <@Baphnedia> You reach the shade trees.
00:05:49 <@Baphnedia> !d20 prisoner reaction
00:05:49 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 5 prisoner reaction
00:06:08 * Lupin stops, dumps the body, and starts going through his pockets.
00:06:33 <@Baphnedia> You find a wallet. You find keys, otherwise, you don't find much.
00:06:52 * A1465 starts scooping up as much clean snow/ice as he can gather.
00:07:38 * A1465 applies it to the hole in his ear after gathering a good handful.
00:08:15 * A1465 grimaces.
00:08:33 <@Baphnedia> The coolness comforts a little.
00:08:34 * Lupin starts going through the wallet.
00:08:39 * Darkmoon shoves the prisoner against a tree trunk
00:08:42 <@Baphnedia> At least it's a change from the throbing.
00:08:54 < A1465> "Hopefully this will slow the bleeding a bit."
00:08:59 <@Baphnedia> The prisoner has a hardened expression on his face.
00:10:20 * A1465 turns his head sideways, trying to drain any blood that might have filled his ear-canal.
00:11:17 <@Baphnedia> Ice and snow, colored crimson, falls out of A1465's ear as he turns his head.
00:11:39 * Darkmoon looks at the prisoner in the eyes, staring him down.
00:11:50 * A1465 swears loudly (but not too loudly )
00:12:24 <@Baphnedia> !howl
00:12:24 * Lycaon howls loudly, "AwooOOooooOOoo!"
00:12:26 <@Baphnedia>
00:12:46 <@Baphnedia> Lycaon draws the attention of all the town's dogs!
00:12:59 < A1465> ( )
00:13:02 <@Baphnedia> (j/k... Lycaon can't play)
00:13:31 <@Baphnedia> (done /noticing)
00:13:31 < A1465> !echo /me pouts. No fair!
00:13:31 * Lycaon pouts. No fair!
00:13:42 <@Baphnedia> (lol)
00:13:44 < Aki> (lol)
00:14:05 < Lupin> (Haha)
00:14:41 <@Baphnedia> (5 min warning)
00:14:47 * Darkmoon continues to look coldly at the man, but she speaks softly to him. "Do you know what we want?"
00:14:55 * A1465 crawls/walks on all fours over to a good place to sit, and then sits there, facing the man.
00:15:24 * A1465 puts on a I-might-kill-you-just-for-fun face.
00:15:33 * A1465 is in a bad mood.
00:16:00 * Lupin walks over to the man and gives a nice, toothy grin.
00:16:14 * Darkmoon strains to hear him. "Why you killed who?"
00:16:35 * Aki just sits down, yawning.
00:17:12 <@Baphnedia> "The sod in the shed?"
00:17:41 <@Baphnedia> "He was late."
00:18:08 < Lupin> "Late with what?"
00:19:09 <@Baphnedia> "Hell if I know. He was supposed do something for the boss, and he didn't get it done. So, we did it for him, and he died for his troubles."
00:19:47 <@Baphnedia> The prisoner sighs.
00:20:13 <@Baphnedia> "Now that effing police department has all of the goods." He looks away at the road.
00:20:25 * A1465 swears.
00:20:29 < Lupin> "What goods?"
00:21:08 <@Baphnedia> "What? You some kind of psychic? Like I'll live to tell you that."
00:22:00 <@Baphnedia> The prisoner sighs again, more painfully. He reaches up, and touches his shoulder with his other arm.
00:22:12 * Darkmoon tilts her head sideways and looks at him curiously. "What do you mean by that?"
00:22:14 * Lupin growls "If I were a psychich, I wouldn't be asking you this."
00:22:58 <@Baphnedia> "..."
00:23:20 < Lupin> (psychic, yeah.)
00:23:21 <@Baphnedia> "I'm gonna probably die anyway. So what use is it to you to know?"
00:24:20 < Darkmoon> "We need to know if we should go back and get it."
00:25:14 * Lupin chuckles "From that bite there? Oh no, that wasn't anywhere deep enough."
00:25:15 <@Baphnedia> "Oh sure... I'll believe that when I see it!"
00:25:59 <@Baphnedia> "Hell if I know what was in the packages. I just enforce. That's it."
00:26:33 < Lupin> (You know, it's amazing that he's being this sassy when surounded by three fairly angry werewolves.)
00:27:05 < A1465> (If he thinks he's gonna' die anyway, he has no reason not to act exactly as he wishes)
00:28:02 * Darkmoon growls softly. "Were were you going to take the packages?"
00:28:46 <@Baphnedia> "Back to the boss's place, but that's all gone to crap now hasn't it?"
00:30:07 < A1465> (I'm tired. How about we stop right here?)
00:30:12 <@Baphnedia> "So where were you all going in such a rush, or do you just like to chase cars?"
00:30:30 <@Baphnedia> (that's fine - we're 10 minutes past the 5 minute warning. )
00:30:38 < Lupin> (Sounds fine to me.)
00:30:46 < Darkmoon> (good)
00:31:06 < Lupin> (I can't think up any more ways to intimidate him right now anyway.)

20:50:30 <@Baphnedia> In Baphnedia's brain.
20:50:33 <@Baphnedia> Please wait.
20:50:34 <@Baphnedia> .
20:50:35 <@Baphnedia> ..
20:50:37 <@Baphnedia> ...
20:50:37 <@Baphnedia> ....
20:50:38 <@Baphnedia> ......
20:50:40 <@Baphnedia> drat
20:50:44 < Torrent> (lol)
20:50:49 < Akela> Something's wrong..
20:51:00 * Baphnedia Fzzkrk!
20:51:00 < Lupin> Heh
20:51:03 * Akela notices Baphnedia's phone hasn't rung yet
20:51:08 <@Baphnedia> !phone
20:51:08 * Lycaon shouts to get everyone's attention, "Baphnedia's phone is ringing!"
20:51:10 < Lupin> (Amazing!)
20:51:17 < Torrent> (something IS wrong then)
20:51:25 * Baphnedia dials numbers randomly
20:51:47 * Baphnedia pauses for dramatic effect.
20:51:50 < Lupin> (There is a great disturbance in the force)
20:52:40 * Baphnedia feels this disturbance. It manifests itself in his left ear with a "beep Beep BEEP. The number you have dialed is not in service. Please check the number and dial again."
20:53:38 * Baphnedia misinterperets the disturbance in the force.
20:53:48 < Akela> Actually it's "I sense a disturbance in the force" but whatever
20:54:13 * Baphnedia thinks that the disturbance was caused by a cancelled phone line. Meanwhile, a planet blows up.
20:54:30 < Lupin> (It would be if I were quoting it.)
20:54:38 < Torrent> (/me snaps himself into character)
20:54:47 <@Baphnedia> The shade trees provide amicable cover from prying eyes.
20:55:06 * Baphnedia snaps at Torrent for no particular reason.
20:55:10 < Akela> There is no great disturbance though, it's just a normal disturbance
20:55:14 <@Baphnedia> (oops, I misread that one)
20:55:22 < Torrent> (lol)
20:55:53 < Akela> Ooo, we're starting
20:56:05 <@Baphnedia> The breeze is coming into the town over you.
20:56:15 <@Baphnedia> (everyone roll REAL HIGH on Intelligence)
20:56:22 * Akela must go in T-Minus.... 300 seconds
20:56:30 < Torrent> (???)
20:56:31 <@Baphnedia> crikey!
20:56:39 < Lupin> (Roll now?)
20:56:45 <@Baphnedia> (gopher it)
20:56:57 < Lupin> !d20+3
20:56:58 < Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 3 for a total of 12.
20:57:07 < Torrent> !d20+2 intel
20:57:07 < Lycaon> Torrent rolled d20 + 2 for a total of 22 intel
20:58:14 <@Baphnedia> (akela?)
20:58:40 < Torrent> (did we lose him... that brings the group to 2 )
20:58:44 < Akela> (I must leave for about 2 hours in roughly one minute)
20:58:58 < Torrent> (roll?)
20:59:06 <@Baphnedia> (gah, ok... who else will be here in 2 hours?)
20:59:13 < Torrent> (not I)
20:59:16 < Lupin> (I might.)
20:59:22 < Torrent> (that's when I leave lol)
20:59:33 <@Baphnedia> (hmm.. well there were three of you in here when we started.)
20:59:43 <@Baphnedia> (we probably won't go 2 hours tonight... take it easy Akela!)
20:59:44 < Torrent> (fudging the rules are we ;) )
20:59:56 <@Baphnedia> (I'm the GM. It's my job to fudge)
20:59:56 < Torrent> (cya Akela)
21:00:00 < Torrent> ( )
21:00:00 < Golem> ( Error: That is not a valid number Torrent.
21:00:04 < Akela> (Oops, I gotta go now)
21:00:12 < Torrent> (bye)
21:00:12 <@Baphnedia> (later!)
21:00:23 < Lupin> (Bye)
21:00:48 <@Baphnedia> (done /noticing)
21:01:22 < Torrent> (continuing from last time) "So where is this boss of yours?"
21:01:57 <@Baphnedia> "Oh, in the cemetary."
21:02:05 * Torrent snarls
21:02:16 < Lupin> "As in waiting or buried?"
21:02:56 <@Baphnedia> "More of... I-flew-through-a-windshield-headfirst-into-a-telephone-pole-what-do-you-think?"
21:03:34 < Torrent> "Well what was gonna happen to the stuff after you dropped it off at his place?"
21:03:35 <@Baphnedia> "Which one of you blew out that first tire anyway?"
21:03:51 <@Baphnedia> "Oh, it was going to get distributed, and sold."
21:03:56 < Lupin> "Why do you care?"
21:04:08 < Lupin> (Two can play at being difficult.)
21:04:27 < Torrent> "It woulda been me if I'd done it first"
21:04:39 < Torrent> "What the hell were you thinking?"
21:05:05 < Torrent> "Do you have any idea..."
21:05:10 <@Baphnedia> "What was I thinking? About what? Selling the stuff? Or...?"
21:05:27 <@Baphnedia> "Oh, I care for now, because three of my friends are dead."
21:05:29 < Torrent> "Do you even know what you had?!?"
21:05:43 <@Baphnedia> "Thank you very much." He glares at Lupin
21:06:09 < Torrent> "Friends?!?"
21:06:11 * Lupin holds up a hand (er... paw.) "Wait. We don't even know if that was the stuff we were looking for."
21:06:12 <@Baphnedia> "Yeah. I sniffed it myself."
21:06:25 <@Baphnedia> "What's it to ya?"
21:06:34 <@Baphnedia> He sniffs/
21:06:51 * Torrent looks over to Lupin
21:07:00 < Torrent> "We are all talking about the same stuff right?"
21:07:05 <@Baphnedia> "So, what the heck are you two looking for anyway?"
21:07:29 < Lupin> "I'm talking abbout the stuff in the warhead. I'm not sure what he's talking about."
21:07:37 <@Baphnedia> "Because I'm thinking that I sniffed too much, watching three of my friends die to a pack of werewolves."
21:07:47 <@Baphnedia> "Warhead?"
21:08:04 <@Baphnedia> "And I thought I smoked some effed up stuff."
21:08:18 <@Baphnedia> (rated PG!)
21:08:20 <@Baphnedia> (hehe)
21:08:21 < Lupin> "Yes. Warhead."
21:08:31 < Torrent> "You arrogent ****"
21:08:33 <@Baphnedia> "What, like a nuke?"
21:08:44 < Torrent> "That wasn't any drugs you fool..."
21:08:52 <@Baphnedia> His expression turns serious.
21:08:53 < Lupin> "And no you're not halucinating."
21:09:12 < Torrent> "Think end of life, civilization, everything"
21:09:19 <@Baphnedia> He looks at his arm.
21:09:23 * Torrent shakes his head
21:09:38 <@Baphnedia> "Is this before or after I turn into the Beast?"
21:10:30 * Lupin grins "With a bite like that... Before."
21:10:34 < Torrent> (have we established how/ if lycanthropy can be acquired this way?)
21:10:47 <@Baphnedia> (it's called - you-find-out)
21:11:05 < Lupin> (Yes.)
21:11:09 < Lupin> (Aki was bitten.)
21:11:13 < Torrent> (k(
21:11:33 <@Baphnedia> "I wonder.... so what's this stuff you're talking about?"
21:11:43 < Torrent> "Ya know, I don't think you need to know"
21:11:47 <@Baphnedia> You hear barking in the distance.
21:12:01 * Lupin sniffs the air.
21:12:05 <@Baphnedia> Well, I'd like to know what I shot up my nose.
21:12:05 < Torrent> "Shoot we've gotta go team!"
21:12:19 < Lupin> (So Darkmoon, myself, Aki, and Ralith can transmit it, but I dunno about the others.)
21:12:29 <@Baphnedia> The noise of the dogs is downwind from you, further in town.
21:12:32 < Torrent> "Virii that'll make you die in the worst way known"
21:12:46 < Torrent> "Slowly... inside out..."
21:13:02 < Torrent> "Do we take him with us?"
21:13:13 < Torrent> "We've gotta get outta here"
21:13:21 < Lupin> "Yeah."
21:13:25 <@Baphnedia> "Uh.. great. So, I guess the next question is, how do I know if I'm infected?"
21:13:39 < Torrent> "You'll find out soon enough"
21:13:52 <@Baphnedia> "Glad to have you here with me then!"
21:13:59 <@Baphnedia> He smirks.
21:14:07 <@Baphnedia> The sound of the hounds grows closer.
21:14:12 < Torrent> "Still a wise-cracker..."
21:14:15 * Torrent sighs
21:14:19 <@Baphnedia> "Ya know, you two don't smell all that great.
21:14:30 < Torrent> "That's nice"
21:14:37 <@Baphnedia> "The snow melting in your fur conveys a nice 'wet dog' smell."
21:14:59 * Torrent picks up the wise cracker and carries him...
21:15:04 < Lupin> "Just be glad I'm not going to shake it off on you."
21:15:14 <@Baphnedia> "Hey!"
21:15:24 < Torrent> "You're coming with us"
21:15:28 * Lupin starts heading off, away from the dogs.
21:15:32 <@Baphnedia> "Ok, fine."
21:15:32 < Torrent> "Okay let's go"
21:15:56 * Torrent follows Lupin
21:15:59 <@Baphnedia> (Lupin roll Navigation d12)
21:16:03 <@Baphnedia> (plus bonus)
21:16:12 < Lupin> !d12+3 navigation
21:16:12 < Lycaon> Lupin rolled d12 + 3 for a total of 8 navigation
21:16:40 <@Baphnedia> You start putting more distance between you and the town.
21:17:02 < Torrent> "Do any of you know your way around here?"
21:17:58 <@Baphnedia> "Where are ya goin?"
21:18:17 < Torrent> "Away from them"
21:18:38 < Lupin> "We do need to head back to the silo, but he wouldn't know where that is."
21:18:38 <@Baphnedia> "It's just farms out that away"
21:18:55 <@Baphnedia> He doesn't say anything.
21:19:22 < Torrent> "Damnit..."
21:20:21 <@Baphnedia> You continue to walk...
21:20:29 <@Baphnedia> (who got their ear shot? last time?)
21:20:45 < Torrent> A1465
21:20:48 < Torrent> (oops)
21:21:55 * Torrent scratches the top of his head...
21:22:51 < Torrent> "This would be so much easier if I didn't have to carry you"
21:22:59 <@Baphnedia> (while he's walking, he drops to all fours, not for speed, but for balance)
21:23:13 < Lupin> "Yeah, but we don't want him to run off."
21:23:19 <@Baphnedia> "What? You callin me fat?"
21:23:42 <@Baphnedia> "Heh. Would I run off on a group like you?"
21:23:54 < Torrent> "I'm calling you an inconvenience. We'd be much better off without such an inconvenience."
21:23:55 < Lupin> "Yes."
21:24:09 < Torrent> "You try to pull anything... and we'll fix you good"
21:24:17 * Torrent puts the man down
21:24:28 <@Baphnedia> The man stands up, and brushes his coat.
21:24:30 < Torrent> "Now follow!"
21:24:50 <@Baphnedia> "Oh, fine. What a roll reversal. So much for being man's best friend eh?"
21:25:05 < Torrent> "That's a dog. I'm no pooch."
21:25:09 -!- Baphnedia is now known as The_man
21:25:23 < Lupin> (Heh)
21:25:49 <@The_man> "Yeah, you can can it, unless you want them dogs to hear us as well as smell you."
21:26:15 < Torrent> "Same goes for you... one yelp and you're done"
21:26:31 < Lupin> "If they do, the only one who'll have a problem running off is you."
21:26:31 <@The_man> "Great. Fine boss."
21:26:33 * Torrent winks at him
21:26:42 < Torrent> "You're learning"
21:27:10 <@The_man> "In my business, you got to learn when to shut up, and I've about reached that point."
21:27:14 < Torrent> "Now Lupin, do you know a way around to get back to the silo"
21:27:15 -!- The_man is now known as Baphnedia
21:27:26 * Baphnedia was the man!
21:27:33 < Torrent> "Nice to know you're not as dumb as I thought"
21:27:44 * Torrent gives a toothy smile
21:27:58 <@Baphnedia> "Deceiving, aren't I?"
21:28:07 * Torrent chuckles
21:28:11 < Lupin> "No. I'm not familiar with this area, and things got turned around after we started running."
21:28:50 < Torrent> "Alright well I figure we've gotta make the police dogs lose our scent first off"
21:28:57 <@Baphnedia> The man is not running as fast as the group. Might just be the bite in his shoulder, or the fact that he's just a human.
21:29:14 < Torrent> "Speed up a bit /please/"
21:29:31 <@Baphnedia> "I'm not a dang cheetah!"
21:29:43 <@Baphnedia> "They catch me, and I won't see daylight again!"
21:29:43 < Torrent> "Oy vey"
21:30:03 < Torrent> "Okay well just hurry it up"
21:30:09 < Lupin> "All the more reason to run faster"
21:30:14 < Torrent> "Do YOU know where we are?"
21:30:16 <@Baphnedia> As the group is running, the man suddenly stops.
21:30:19 <@Baphnedia> "No."
21:30:25 * Torrent pauses and turns
21:30:25 <@Baphnedia> "Screw this..."
21:30:31 <@Baphnedia> "Get down you guys."
21:30:32 < Torrent> "Don't be stupid"
21:30:40 <@Baphnedia> "I'm not running away from no effing dogs no day."
21:30:54 < Torrent> "What the heck are you doing?"
21:31:13 < Lupin> "Oh for the love of..."
21:31:19 <@Baphnedia> "Well, neither of you two frisked me..."
21:31:24 < Torrent> "Never a dull moment eh?"
21:31:27 <@Baphnedia> "I'm going to kill their hounds."
21:31:42 <@Baphnedia> The man lies down in the field.
21:31:47 < Torrent> "Can you even see them yet?"
21:32:05 * Torrent kneels
21:32:08 <@Baphnedia> He reaches into the small of his back, and pulls out a really nice looking pistol.
21:32:16 <@Baphnedia> "I usually only save this for executions.:
21:32:29 < Torrent> "Don't be pointing it back here"
21:32:31 * Lupin kneels and looks at Torrent "No. This day is getting progressivley weireder."
21:32:40 < Torrent> "If you say so"
21:32:44 <@Baphnedia> "I just haven't had a chance to fire it in awhile."
21:32:56 <@Baphnedia> The pistol is also rather big too.
21:33:06 < Torrent> "And you expect to hit the dogs? Are you kidding me"
21:33:15 < Torrent> "Can you even aim?"
21:33:28 <@Baphnedia> "I'm an enforcer... it's my job to aim. Now Lie Down!"
21:33:34 * Torrent sighs
21:33:44 < Lupin> "I'm more worried about what happens after he hits the dogs."
21:33:47 <@Baphnedia> "I want them running straight at me. If I run, you can chase me down."
21:34:03 <@Baphnedia> "Oh, this will take out any of their caretakers too..."
21:34:09 * Torrent turns to Lupin
21:34:12 <@Baphnedia> "It's my CopKiller(tm)."
21:34:21 < Torrent> "Magic beans more like it"
21:34:33 * Torrent rolls his eyes, clearly unimpressed
21:34:43 < Lupin> "mmm-hmm"
21:34:56 <@Baphnedia> He starts randomly rattling off some things about the shiney revolver.
21:35:02 < Torrent> (sorry stole a line from Brothers Grimm)
21:35:11 <@Baphnedia> (lol)
21:35:18 < Lupin> (Heh)
21:35:37 <@Baphnedia> "Are you two going to get down, or is this going to be more complicated than I need it to be?":
21:35:46 < Lupin> "You know if we wanted to take them all out, we could just give Ralith the grenade launcher."
21:35:58 < Torrent> "I'm as low as I'm gonna get. I wanna be able to bolt if need be"
21:36:08 * Lupin nods. "Same here."
21:36:12 < Torrent> "Ralith would kill us all in the process"
21:36:30 < Lupin> (I hope that line makes it on the stats.)
21:36:31 <@Baphnedia> "Which one of you is he?" (The whole group is quasi-present)
21:36:39 <@Baphnedia> (rofl )
21:36:58 < Torrent> "That you'll find out when you need to"
21:37:05 < Torrent> "Which is not now"
21:37:08 <@Baphnedia> "fine."
21:37:13 < Lupin> "He's the one we keep taking the explosives away from."
21:37:18 < Lupin> "You'll figure it out."
21:37:25 <@Baphnedia> He turns his attention to the dogs that are breaking into a run across the snow.
21:37:26 * Torrent snickers
21:37:49 <@Baphnedia> He looks along the ground... "I count four pups."
21:37:53 <@Baphnedia> "You see any pigs?"
21:37:53 < Torrent> "Oh boy. This doesn't smell right"
21:38:13 < Torrent> "Yeah, they're flying above yer head right now"
21:38:16 * Lupin sniffs
21:38:26 <@Baphnedia> "Haha... very funny."
21:38:40 < Torrent> "Any year now"
21:39:15 <@Baphnedia> He pulls the hammer back with a thumb, one hand on the pistol grip, the other holding the firing arm down.
21:39:25 * Torrent shifts to full wolf in case the need arises
21:39:25 <@Baphnedia> BLAM!
21:39:59 < Lupin> "Took you long enough. Any longer and they would have died from old age."
21:40:07 <@Baphnedia> A long flame licks out of the pistol, over a foot long, melting the snow on the ground for several inches. The dog in the back of the pack falls over.
21:40:15 <@Baphnedia> BLAM!
21:40:39 <@Baphnedia> Another long flame licks out from the muzzle. The dogs are perhaps 50 feet away.
21:40:54 <@Baphnedia> Another dog keels over, the snow has melted about six inches away from the gun.
21:40:57 <@Baphnedia> BLAM!
21:40:59 * Torrent growls "You better git em faster"
21:41:13 < Torrent> "They're gettin close"
21:41:20 <@Baphnedia> The snow melts another couple inches from the gun, another dog falls over.
21:41:30 <@Baphnedia> !d20 + Unknown.
21:41:30 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 16 Unknown.
21:41:36 <@Baphnedia> BLAM!
21:42:05 <@Baphnedia> The final dog gets hit so hard in the head, the dog stops completely, before slumping to the ground.
21:42:23 < Torrent> "How many officers?"
21:42:37 <@Baphnedia> There are two cops running up with their little pistols, firing in your general direction.
21:42:42 <@Baphnedia> !d20 cops
21:42:42 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 10 cops
21:42:49 <@Baphnedia> !d20 The Man
21:42:49 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 16 The Man
21:43:05 <@Baphnedia> The cops fire, and bullets whiz by.
21:43:40 <@Baphnedia> The Man fires, BLAM!, and one of the cops is knocked onto his arse, then falls completely on his back.
21:43:57 < Torrent> "Get ready to move outta here"
21:44:03 < Torrent> "One left"
21:44:05 <@Baphnedia> The man starts reloading. The other officer dives for cover as he starts hollaring "Man Down! Man Down!"
21:44:22 < Torrent> "Oh... that can't be good"
21:44:23 <@Baphnedia> "1.. 2.. 3.. ok that's enough."
21:44:49 * Torrent shifts back to gesalt
21:44:52 < Lupin> "Well, it was either that or have them catch up with us."
21:44:52 <@Baphnedia> The officer corrects his report, "Officer Down! Officer -" BLAM!
21:45:14 <@Baphnedia> !d20 unkown
21:45:15 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 20 unkown
21:45:35 <@Baphnedia> (wow... I should play in my own games more often!)
21:45:40 < Torrent> (lol)
21:45:44 < Lupin> (Heh)
21:46:04 <@Baphnedia> He sits up on his knees... "See anyone else?"
21:46:15 < Torrent> "Maybe you wouldn't be such a bad addition to our kind after all"
21:46:38 <@Baphnedia> "Like I said, if I ever get caught, I wouldn't see the light of day again."
21:47:10 < Torrent> "Ah, the criminal mind"
21:47:15 <@Baphnedia> "I'm just making the best of a bad situation."
21:47:16 < Lupin> "Well the same goes for us, though for completely different reasons."
21:47:34 < Torrent> "Alright well we have something in common. Good. Now let's move back to the silo"
21:47:56 <@Baphnedia> He looks partially confused. "Silo?"
21:48:13 < Lupin> "If we can get back to the road we came in on, we could always scent our way back."
21:48:17 < Torrent> "well where do you thing the warheads were gonna launch from?"
21:48:24 < Torrent> "Yeah lets do that"
21:48:25 < Lupin> "Well where else would you keep a missle?"
21:48:31 < Torrent> "Exactly"
21:49:05 * Torrent motions back the way they came
21:49:12 < Torrent> "Let's go"
21:49:30 * Lupin heads off with Torrent.
21:49:38 <@Baphnedia> The Man follows behind.
21:49:45 < Torrent> "Say, what am I to call you?"
21:49:47 <@Baphnedia> (ya know, I think I'm gonna keep that as his nickname)
21:49:54 < Torrent> (oh okay)
21:50:02 < Lupin> (Heh)
21:50:05 <@Baphnedia> (j/k)
21:50:41 <@Baphnedia> "Eh, you'll know it about the same time as I know which one of you Ralith is."
21:50:49 <@Baphnedia> "Boss."
21:51:40 <@Baphnedia> You get the scent of yourselves, and begin to follow it.
21:52:03 <@Baphnedia> You reach a country road. (roll sight)
21:52:11 < Lupin> !d20+3 sight
21:52:11 < Lycaon> Lupin rolled d20 + 3 for a total of 14 sight
21:52:59 <@Baphnedia> There is a fresh set of tire tracks in the snow here.
21:53:37 * Torrent looks at the tracks
21:54:01 < Torrent> !d20+2 sight
21:54:01 < Lycaon> Torrent rolled d20 + 2 for a total of 6 sight
21:54:08 < Torrent> (ouch)
21:54:09 <@Baphnedia> You see a road.
21:54:20 <@Baphnedia> (whoops... I erm... forgot to /notice)
21:54:27 < Torrent> ( )
21:54:48 < Torrent> "Now what?"
21:55:26 <@Baphnedia> The Man stops behind you two.
21:55:30 < Lupin> "We follow it back to the warehouse"
21:55:30 <@Baphnedia> !d20 sight
21:55:30 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 4 sight
21:55:50 <@Baphnedia> "Geez... you guys found Walter?"
21:55:58 <@Baphnedia> He begins walking down the road.
21:56:10 < Lupin> "I assume Walter is the man with the two extra holes in his head?"
21:57:17 < Torrent> "So you thought this was a drug shipment?"
21:57:32 < Torrent> "Oh they really got you in deeper than that"
21:57:55 <@Baphnedia> "Great. Just great."
21:58:23 < Torrent> "So you're not part of that ...group... trying to end the human race then?"
21:58:47 <@Baphnedia> The snow makes a small crunching underneath your pads (and his shoes) as you walk. A1465 is still on all fours.
21:59:06 <@Baphnedia> "Hah! There'd be no profit in it!"
21:59:48 * Lupin sighs. "Too bad those sirens won't be going off."
22:00:03 < Lupin> "It' be real easy to find the silo then."
22:00:27 < Torrent> "We'll see what you're profit will be when you've got fur all over you"
22:00:34 < Torrent> *your
22:00:51 < Torrent> "Yeah the sirens would save us a lot of time"
22:01:07 <@Baphnedia> "I have no idea what you're talking about.
22:01:16 < Lupin> "Well it's not all bad. I manage to lead a fairly normal life when I'm not out saving the world."
22:01:40 < Lupin> "The launch warning sirens. We can hear them from miles away."
22:02:31 < Torrent> "I wish I remembered my life before..."
22:02:38 <@Baphnedia> "I must've been missing out on something then."
22:03:13 * Lupin looks at the man, "In that form? Yes. You miss out on a bunch of stuff."
22:03:47 <@Baphnedia> "Ha! My girlfriend is going to freak the next time I tell her in Vegas that we're doing it 'doggie style'!"
22:04:09 <@Baphnedia> He grins. "I just hope she says 'bite me' sometime before that!"
22:04:11 * Lupin rolls his eyes.
22:04:53 < Torrent> "Ah you are a funny one har har"
22:05:22 <@Baphnedia> There is an odd silence.
22:06:02 <@Baphnedia> The snow crunches underfoot, between that and the sound of the breeze digging it's icy fingers into you.
22:06:04 < Lupin> "Anyway, I'm not sure about where we go until after we get to the emergency exit."
22:06:28 < Lupin> "I suppose we could go back through that disaster zone, but I'd really prefer not to."
22:06:32 <@Baphnedia> !d20 int
22:06:33 < Lycaon> Baphnedia rolled d20 for a total of 18 int
22:06:47 < Torrent> "Let's try not to if we can"
22:06:58 <@Baphnedia> "Soo... let me put two and two together... there's an exit to a missle silo in that werehouse?"
22:07:13 < Lupin> "Kind of."
22:07:20 < Torrent> "Erm... close enough...for now"
22:07:28 < Lupin> "That exit is sealed off inside the silo."
22:07:53 <@Baphnedia> "I hope the door is still open."
22:08:25 < Lupin> "Well we're not planning to go back in that way."
22:08:30 < Torrent> "You know the way we went... if you don't shift by then you might be fried like an egg"
22:08:57 <@Baphnedia> "Great...."
22:09:31 < Torrent> "Your openmindedness thus far I must admit has suprised me"
22:09:56 <@Baphnedia> "It just might be a way to keep from ever being fingerprinted again."
22:10:57 < Torrent> "hehehe"
22:11:06 <@Baphnedia> The tracks in the road make a turn to the left, up ahead.
22:11:48 * Lupin sniffs the road
22:12:36 * Lupin follows the tracks off to the left.
22:12:57 * Torrent follows Lupin and ushers the rest of the group to follow
22:13:22 < Torrent> (how fast can shifting occur after a bite shall we say?)
22:13:32 <@Baphnedia> (you don't know)
22:13:41 < Akela> (neither do I)
22:13:48 < Torrent> (ok)
22:13:54 <@Baphnedia> (wb)
22:13:57 < Lupin> (wb)
22:14:05 < Torrent> (wb)
22:14:24 < Torrent> (care to join in?)
22:14:57 < Akela> (I defeated the forces of Sauron slightly sooner than expected, I got an FAQ to read brb)
22:16:05 <@Baphnedia> The man follows.
22:16:10 < Torrent> "How's that bite treating ya?"
22:16:20 < Lupin> (This takes a lot longer now that we're not running after a car.)
22:16:22 <@Baphnedia> "Like crap."
22:16:26 < Lupin> (Log post)
