City in the Sky - Zephyran Academy (BESM RPG)

DarckRedd · Aug 24, 2009

Since Ray failed to save the conversation, here is a brief summary of events.

After a demonic force invades the Academy, three survivors gather in Observatory. The sky is stained purple, and a crimson moon hangs in the sky.

Aloysius, a veteran and instructor at the school. A retired soldier who has seen much violence in his life, and now devotes himself to training novices in the ROTC.

Doctor Sophia Montressor, a surgeon, chemist, biologist, and medical doctor who is obsessed with furthering science. She is currently the head nurse of the Academy, and has something of a reputation as an eccentric.

And PSS-001B, an asexual shapeshifter who can adopt the form of a young swordswoman, Lia, or a wizard, Jerid. Currently, it is shaped like Lia: an innocent, playful girl with a sword.

These three meet suddenly, with little warning. They introduce themselves, and promptly start arguing.

However, a sudden sound in the Observatory proper catches their attention. They go to investigate (Aloysius in the lead). More noises emanate from the inside, from the ceiling of the structure. Suddenly, a dead wizard plunges from the ceiling! A quick examination from Sophia quickly reveals that he was partially devoured.

As they discuss the body, three monstrous Shahan fall from the ceiling. They are quickly dispatched by the party in a charge led by Aloysius' vicious assault rifle. Sophia examines the dead Shahan, but learns little about it.

However, a new threat reveals itself. A in golden armor man named Gilgamesh appears, takes responsibility for the brutal invasion of Melena, and vanishes mysteriously.

The party heads down to the library, hoping to meet up with the battalion of military wizards who guard it. However, they only find more danger there.

A strange young girl named Alyssa arrives with an offer to 'play'. Lia eagerly accepts, and Alyssa begins the game by attacking the party with a blast of blue magic! Aloysius and Sophia both evade this attack, but Lia is hit.

Alyssa vanishes, but three Child-wraiths appear and attack the party with barrage attacks! Aloysius, Sophia, and Lia fight back, killing one. At this moment, Jonah arrives. A snarky and antisocial exorcist, she remains hidden in the shadows at the beginning of the battle, fighting with her ghostly familiars. However, an opportunity to strike down a wraith presents itself, too juicy to pass up.

The fight quickly goes sour as the party sustains severe damage from multiple Area of Effect attacks. First Lia is brought down, but is saved by Sophia's Restoration of Human Flesh technique. She returns in her Jerid form. A second wraith is dispatched by Jonah, prompting the last one to commence a vicious barrage of attacks! Sophia dies, leaving the party without a healer. However, she comes back with half health via a Reincarnation Circle.

However, as all seems lost, the themesong kicks in, prompting a +2 bonus to all of the party's rolls! It all comes down to a single strike -- if the Wraith hits the party, it's the end of the game. The entire team is near death, bleeding from multiple wounds. The surviving Wraith launches her attack. Jerid neutralizes the attack, Sophia and Jonah both dodge, but Aloysius is hit!

He seems lost.

But, in a supernatural feat of toughness, he survives with 5 hit points remaining! As he raises his rifle, aiming at the terrified Wraith, he says: "That. Fucking. HURT!" He unloads on her twice, blasting the Wraith into oblivion!

After a long and desperate battle, Sophia heals herself and the rest of the party. Jonah joins after some prodding and multiple threats of violence. As it stands, they continue through the library, ready to face new and more horrific threats at any moment...

Pretty rad so far. :mmm:

Alyssa, dude, Alyssa. :headbanger:

Well, you've already robbed Touhou blind, so I took some liberties.

:blink: The hell?!

Christopher Robin · Aug 25, 2009

Well, I wanna apologize to to everyone. You likely weren't counting on me or anything, but I obviously took too long (like two weeks without finishing a character, doesn't show much enthusiasim, does it?) and want to say I'm sorry about that.

DarckRedd · Aug 25, 2009

@Halibel

A lot of the songs he used were taken from Touhou. Also, I have no doubt that Alyssa is going to start using laser-spamming area of effect attacks on us by next session.

@Robin

No need to apologize! Seriously, take your time. We'll have no trouble writing you into the plot when you get your character ready.

If you want to want to brainstorm or discuss ideas, we could chat on the IRC/messenger of your choice.

Rooster455 · Aug 25, 2009

Me and DarckRedd consider horrible possibilities.

EDIT: I have added a drawing of Viper, everyone's favourite XM8 Assault rifle, to my Character Sheet. ^_^

Oh, Aloysius is in it too, I guess. But who cares about him.

Pretty crappy drawing, but I was bored as hell in between my normal RPs, sleeping and working, so....yeah.

Urdarum · Aug 29, 2009

Ok Ray, I made some changes in Lia, i hope you approve them.

On related news, I'll be coing capping for the weekend with my family. I'm suposed to be back Sunday between 5 o'clock and 5:30 so don't wait me if I'm late, It probably means I'm trapped in the traffic.

Halibel Lecter · Aug 29, 2009

Are we going to have a cool text-based thing like A Few Good Women did? Or is it strictly IRC?

Magic Library
[2009-08-30 17:27:39] <GIRUGAMESH> Aloysius, Sophia, and Jerid (Jerid was
your last form, right?) make their way through the empty halls of the library
of magic, their footsteps echoing along the hallowed floors.

with arcane lore.

[2009-08-30 17:29:33] <GIRUGAMESH> (PROTIP: Since you totally forgot about
it the last time... this is a *library*. A *magic* library. Full of
*grimoires* and *magic books*. Which you can *read*.)
[2009-08-30 17:29:34] <PSS-001B> "Finding some data on Reality Pulses sounds
like a good idea"
[2009-08-30 17:29:50] <Sophia> (Yeah, Ray, that's what I'm trying to do.)
[2009-08-30 17:29:56] <Aloysius> "You're right. Let's go."
[2009-08-30 17:30:01] <Sophia> "Gentlemen, this way," Sophia says, turning a
right.
[2009-08-30 17:30:29] <PSS-001B> Jerid follows her
[2009-08-30 17:30:54] <Sophia> I search the R's for anything about Reality
Pulses.
[2009-08-30 17:31:11] <PSS-001B> I'll help with the search
[2009-08-30 17:31:14] * Aloysius follows as well, occasionally turning to
check their backs incase they are being followed.
[2009-08-30 17:32:10] <GIRUGAMESH> The library is the size of a small town.
[2009-08-30 17:32:19] <GIRUGAMESH> You're nowhere near the R's.
[2009-08-30 17:32:45] <Sophia> Well then, how about we get walking?
[2009-08-30 17:32:50] <GIRUGAMESH> As it is, you've advanced a fair bit.
[2009-08-30 17:32:52] <PSS-001B> "... Does aybody knows were the 'R' is?"
[2009-08-30 17:33:06] * Aloysius growls. "This will take forever at this
pace."
[2009-08-30 17:33:07] <Sophia> "I have visited this institution on many
occasions. Indeed, I know it well!"
[2009-08-30 17:33:27] <GIRUGAMESH> Section G: (Gray, Gleimore, Gleeening,
Glastoid, Glamprey?, Glenions)
[2009-08-30 17:33:41] <PSS-001B> "It's my first time here so I'm a bit lost"
[2009-08-30 17:33:44] <GIRUGAMESH> (Alanna, if you want to make an intro,
you can always show up from behind a bookshelf)
[2009-08-30 17:34:04] <GIRUGAMESH> (You could, yanno, try to get info from
the section you're actually in)
[2009-08-30 17:34:24] <Sophia> Wait...
[2009-08-30 17:34:24] <Sophia> Alright, I see what you want us to do.
[2009-08-30 17:34:24] <Sophia> I search for Gilgamesh!
[2009-08-30 17:34:46] <Aloysius> [Beat me to it.]

[2009-08-30 17:35:21] <Sophia> B)
[2009-08-30 17:35:48] <GIRUGAMESH> Sophia finds a massive book written in
strange, arcane writing.
[2009-08-30 17:36:11] <GIRUGAMESH> On the title reads, translated through an
enchantment: "The Epic of Gilgamesh"
[2009-08-30 17:36:26] <Sophia> OK...
[2009-08-30 17:36:27] <Sophia> I read it.
[2009-08-30 17:36:31] * Alanna hums a mournful tune as she wanders the vast
library, seeking aimlessly among its many tomes.
[2009-08-30 17:36:49] <Aloysius> "An Epic? So this guy stole the name of
some big story-wait. Did you hear that?"
[2009-08-30 17:37:06] * Sophia is totally absorbed by the prospect of a new
book.
[2009-08-30 17:37:07] * Aloysius peeks around the corner for the source of
the humming.
[2009-08-30 17:37:26] <PSS-001B> *Jerid follows Alysius
[2009-08-30 17:38:04] <Alanna> "...Hold your head up high-for there is no
greater love..."
[2009-08-30 17:38:06] <GIRUGAMESH> "BEHOLD, that Gilgamesh and Enkidu bound
through chains the Bull of Heaven, which was as a God, and together they
brought their wrath upon the beast whose footsteps sundered the Earth from
the Heavens and brought low Uruk, nation of greatest might..."
[2009-08-30 17:38:27] <Sophia> "An archaic myth. Curious."
[2009-08-30 17:38:33] <Alanna> "...Think of the faces of the people you
defend..."
[2009-08-30 17:39:01] <Sophia> "I am sure that our 'Gilgamesh' was fully
aware of the implications of his choice of moniker."
[2009-08-30 17:39:05] * Aloysius listens to the voice get closer and flicks
the safety off on his rifle.
[2009-08-30 17:39:13] <Alanna> "...And promise me, they will never see the
tears within our eyes..."
[2009-08-30 17:39:23] <GIRUGAMESH> "And so Ishtar, goddess of Heaven,
Princess of Wonder, was displeased. BEHOLD, then, that Enkidu, friend of
Gilgamesh, had thus a dream..."
[2009-08-30 17:39:28] <GIRUGAMESH> The next lines are untranslated.
[2009-08-30 17:39:48] <Alanna> "...Although we are men, with mortal sins,
angels never cry..."
[2009-08-30 17:39:54] <Sophia> Can I try to translate them with my towering
intellect?"
[2009-08-30 17:40:06] <GIRUGAMESH> DC 18-

[2009-08-30 17:40:52] <Alanna> "...So bury fear, for fate draws near..."
[2009-08-30 17:41:25] * Aloysius waits until the person is about to walk by,
then steps out, aiming his rifle at the person's head. "Hold it right there."
He growls.
[2009-08-30 17:41:32] <GIRUGAMESH> "And so in the Dream, the GODS decided
that someone must pay for the slaying of the Bull of Heaven, and yea, by the
will of Ishtar was Enkidu in his dream brought low, just as he was in reality."
[2009-08-30 17:41:40] <PSS-001B> "This sounds like some kind of spell... I
don't like it"
[2009-08-30 17:42:13] * Alanna stops and looks at the man holding the gun
curiously, continuing to sing quietly.
[2009-08-30 17:42:19] <Alanna> "..And hide the signs of pain..."
[2009-08-30 17:42:24] <GIRUGAMESH> "And so Enkidu journeyed into the House
of Dust, and BEHOLD, for there there is no light, and the birds there eat
naught but clay and have no freedom but the cage."
[2009-08-30 17:43:12] * Aloysius peers down the sights at the woman's face.
"Who are you?"
[2009-08-30 17:43:44] <GIRUGAMESH> "And Gilgamesh saw this, and he
despaired. And he KNOWS that he must avoid Enkidu's fate, that he must never
make that journey himself into Dust. And so Gilgamesh defied the Gods and
journeyed out for the forbidden fruit..."
[2009-08-30 17:44:00] <GIRUGAMESH> The next pages are an unreadable mess of
blotted ink and charred paper.
[2009-08-30 17:44:08] * Alanna cocks a brow, and continues to sing. "...And
I am Winter born..."
[2009-08-30 17:44:23] <GIRUGAMESH> After that is a two-hundred page long
dissertation on the usage of cake as a palliative for erectile disfunction.
[2009-08-30 17:44:24] <Sophia> "Horrific! THIS BOOK HAS BEEN DEFACED!"
[2009-08-30 17:44:29] <GIRUGAMESH> *ka-ching*
[2009-08-30 17:44:43] <GIRUGAMESH> Sophia has acquired Item: Epic of
Gilgamesh!
[2009-08-30 17:44:47] * Sophia looks up from the book.
[2009-08-30 17:44:54] <PSS-001B> *Jerid steps back and prepares an ice
attack " who are you?"
[2009-08-30 17:45:00] <Sophia> "Who is this woman?" she says, frowning at
Alana.
[2009-08-30 17:45:10] <Alanna> "...Without denying, a faith in God..."
[2009-08-30 17:45:30] <Alanna> "...That I have never known..."
[2009-08-30 17:45:36] <Aloysius> "You have three seconds to answer before I
put a bullet in your skull."
[2009-08-30 17:45:43] <Alanna> "...I hear the angels call my name..."
[2009-08-30 17:45:54] <Alanna> "...And I am Winter born..."
[2009-08-30 17:45:54] <Sophia> "Calm yourself, Aloysius."
[2009-08-30 17:46:28] <PSS-001B> *Jerid readies himself to counter a
possible spell*
[2009-08-30 17:46:30] <GIRUGAMESH> (Energy Bonus lvl. 2 (+10 EP), Unknown
Power (?))
[2009-08-30 17:46:44] <Sophia> (Energy bonus?!)
[2009-08-30 17:46:50] <Sophia> (Sweet!)
[2009-08-30 17:47:03] <Sophia> (How much do I have total?)
[2009-08-30 17:47:09] * Alanna stops singing, and continues watching
Aloysius quietly."
[2009-08-30 17:47:12] <GIRUGAMESH> (Alanna, keep it up and I'm going to make
you roll Diplomacy to see whether Aloysius snaps and shoots you)
[2009-08-30 17:47:20] <GIRUGAMESH> (Ah, there we go.)
[2009-08-30 17:47:39] <Aloysius> "Identify yourself."
[2009-08-30 17:49:01] <GIRUGAMESH> (Well? RP!)
[2009-08-30 17:49:02] * Alanna speaks, her voice slightly rusty from lack of
use. "Have I not already told you?" Pausing, she examines the small group.
"I am winter born."
[2009-08-30 17:49:18] <Sophia> "Precision, my dear, precision. That is what
we need."
[2009-08-30 17:49:27] <PSS-001B> "A spirit... ?"
[2009-08-30 17:49:44] <Sophia> "Unless your name is, in fact, Winterborn;
however, if so, you have been quite imprecise about conveying that fact to us."
[2009-08-30 17:50:03] <Sophia> (Ray, does the energy bonus apply to me or
just the book?)
[2009-08-30 17:50:12] <Aloysius> "I don't like this. I say I shoot her so we
can move on."
[2009-08-30 17:50:25] * Alanna murmers quietly, "Names have power in this
place."
[2009-08-30 17:50:47] <PSS-001B> "Could you explain that?"
[2009-08-30 17:50:54] <Sophia> "Indeed. Elaborate."
[2009-08-30 17:51:08] <Aloysius> "Fine. I am Instructor Craft."
[2009-08-30 17:51:46] * Alanna stares at the group, one brow arching
incredulously. "This is a realm of magic and wonder. The Name of something
is not an instrument to be used lightly."
[2009-08-30 17:52:07] <Sophia> [GIRUGAMESH ANSWER QUESTION PLS]
[2009-08-30 17:52:12] <Sophia> "I beg to differ. A name is an arbitrary
designation."
[2009-08-30 17:52:25] <Aloysius> "A name is a name. I'm not going to call
you 'winter born'."
[2009-08-30 17:52:45] <Alanna> "Your instructor Craft asked for an
identifier. Winter Born is as good as any."
[2009-08-30 17:52:49] <Sophia> "If my comrade here were named Craft or
Cruft, would it make any difference at all?"
[2009-08-30 17:53:00] <PSS-001B> "Wait, she could be of those that
manipulate things by names"
[2009-08-30 17:53:48] * Alanna smiles at the man. "I am not one of
those...I have no magic. But you...I do not know you, and I would not be
bound to serve."
[2009-08-30 17:54:07] <GIRUGAMESH> (Would a book have EP, Darck? Would it
really?
[2009-08-30 17:54:25] <Alanna> (Yes! Items can have EP and HP, and a book
is an item!)
[2009-08-30 17:54:30] <Aloysius> "Serve? Dammit! Will nobody around here
speak plainly!?"
[2009-08-30 17:54:57] * Alanna sighs. "I will not be a slave, Instructor
Craft."
[2009-08-30 17:54:57] <PSS-001B> "What are you exactly?"
[2009-08-30 17:55:02] <GIRUGAMESH> (Except this one doesn't have the Object
restriction for the EBonus, so no)
[2009-08-30 17:55:27] <Aloysius> "Who said anything about you being a slave?"
[2009-08-30 17:55:30] <GIRUGAMESH> Alanna, roll Mind, DC 12, to see if
you're being convincing enough for Aloysius not to get agressive.
[2009-08-30 17:55:41] <GIRUGAMESH> Alternatively, roll Body, DC 12, and let
your tits do the talking.
[2009-08-30 17:55:48] <Alanna> 2d6+4
[2009-08-30 17:55:50] <Asuka> Alanna, 2d6+4: 13 [2d6=5,4]
[2009-08-30 17:55:54] <PSS-001B> "Bound to serve... maybe she is a rogue
summon?"
[2009-08-30 17:55:54] <Sophia> (Well, it also has Unknown Power. Maybe the
EP would be used to fuel the unknown power!)
[2009-08-30 17:56:34] <Alanna> "No one has said anything, Instructor Craft,
but ask for my Name. And in a real of magic...names have power."
[2009-08-30 17:56:53] <Alanna> "Power enough to bind, to compel."
[2009-08-30 17:56:55] <GIRUGAMESH> (No they don't. No such thing as True
Name cheese in this story)
[2009-08-30 17:57:10] <Alanna> (Yes, but does Alanna know that?)
[2009-08-30 17:57:51] <GIRUGAMESH> (Oh, I never said she couldn't say it. I
was just making the point clear in case any of you get ideas from her words)
[2009-08-30 17:58:05] <Aloysius> "Alright, if you won't tell us you name,
can you answer what you're doing here?"
[2009-08-30 17:59:45] <GIRUGAMESH> (Btw, Alanna succeeded in her Diplo roll,
so either she's being convincing, or her tits are reaaaally nice to look at,
but Aloysius should be less agressive)
[2009-08-30 18:00:01] * Alanna looks behind herself, and then around. With
muted amusement clear in her voice, she speaks, "I appear to be wandering
around a library singing. Would you mind not pointing your weapon at me?
Being shot would be somewhat discomfitting, and not avail yourself very much."
[2009-08-30 18:00:13] <Aloysius> (This /is/ less agressive. This is polite.)
[2009-08-30 18:01:11] <Aloysius> "Are you friend or foe?"
[2009-08-30 18:01:42] * Alanna blinks, mouth slightly agape. "..Are you
serious? Does anyone ever actually answer that question foe?"
[2009-08-30 18:02:35] <Aloysius> "If they have an uniform, you don't even
need to ask. But since your evading most of my questions I might as well be
as blunt as possible."
[2009-08-30 18:02:43] <Aloysius> you're*
[2009-08-30 18:02:45] <PSS-001B> "... she has got a point... anyway, how did
you get here?"
[2009-08-30 18:03:41] <Sophia> "I propose we resume our journey. It is still
a long way out of the library, sir, and I doubt this woman means us any harm."
[2009-08-30 18:03:47] * Alanna looks at the group, counting on her hand.
"There's four of you, and you're actively threatening me...with a modified
XM8, and you seriously expect me to answer as anything other than 'Friend'?
And I walked."
[2009-08-30 18:03:52] <GIRUGAMESH> (Sophia: You're in G: Grimoires)
[2009-08-30 18:04:09] <GIRUGAMESH> (Which means that just about every, well,
grimoire that has "Grimoire" in the title will be here)
[2009-08-30 18:04:20] <Aloysius> (What section are the battallion by?)
[2009-08-30 18:04:26] <GIRUGAMESH> (They're books on magic that talk about
magical phenomena. Maybe you could try here?)
[2009-08-30 18:04:30] <GIRUGAMESH> (Not telling you)
[2009-08-30 18:04:33] <Alanna> (So how many shelves are in this section?)
[2009-08-30 18:04:35] <Sophia> Hmm...
[2009-08-30 18:04:46] <Aloysius> (Isn't Aloysious supposed to know?)
[2009-08-30 18:04:48] <GIRUGAMESH> (3 on each side, then the path forks)
[2009-08-30 18:04:51] <Sophia> I search for any grimoire that involves
reality pulses.
[2009-08-30 18:05:37] <GIRUGAMESH> DC 16, since there's no way they're
explicitly titled as such.
[2009-08-30 18:05:42] <GIRUGAMESH> (Roll Mind)
[2009-08-30 18:05:44] <PSS-001B> "Look, what i want to know is how you
survived the 'attack'"
[2009-08-30 18:05:52] <Sophia> 2d6+10
[2009-08-30 18:05:53] <Asuka> Sophia, 2d6+10: 17 [2d6=6,1]
[2009-08-30 18:05:57] <Sophia> B)
[2009-08-30 18:05:59] <GIRUGAMESH> (Rooster: no. The Library is guarded by
the Battallion, but the Battalion isn't based there)
[2009-08-30 18:06:00] <Alanna> "Played dead. You?"
[2009-08-30 18:06:22] <Aloysius> (....Damn)
[2009-08-30 18:06:49] <GIRUGAMESH> "Grimoirius Realitus Feiklatinus"
[2009-08-30 18:06:55] <PSS-001B> "... I was in a safe zone"
[2009-08-30 18:07:12] <GIRUGAMESH> It is a small tome, and every inch of the
cover is carved with intricate, twisted diagrams.
[2009-08-30 18:07:21] <PSS-001B> "Do you know something about the spirits
that seem to have taken over this place?"
[2009-08-30 18:07:40] <Sophia> I read the book.
[2009-08-30 18:09:00] <Alanna> "I'm afraid not. They do seem powerful, and
there are quite a few of them." Unconsciously, her hand moves to her
stomach, where smooth, perfect skin can be seen through a large, bloodstained
slash.
[2009-08-30 18:09:58] <GIRUGAMESH> It is widely ascertained, as posited by
Blaise Pellaeon and Ignius Moon (grandfather of my most esteemed sponsor,
Ishmael Moon), that reality as we know it can be manipulated on a grander
scale than the magic we currently wield.
[2009-08-30 18:09:59] <Aloysius> "Well that answers what side your on. How
bad is the wound?" He asks, lowering his weapon slightly.
[2009-08-30 18:10:55] <GIRUGAMESH> Though to an extent all our spells bend
or break the laws of reality temporarily, it is said that there might be ways
to change them in their entirety, that is to say, to use magic to turn an
area of the world into something else.
[2009-08-30 18:11:07] <Alanna> "Wound?" She asks, then looks down.
"Oh...just a nick...helped me quite a bit, actually, for verisimilitude in
playing dead.
[2009-08-30 18:11:34] <GIRUGAMESH> To create, shall we say, a world within a
world, either by transmutating the field, or separating it from reality in
its entirety.
[2009-08-30 18:12:34] * Aloysius doesn't turn his head but calls to the
surgeon. "Sophia? Find anything?"
[2009-08-30 18:12:51] <PSS-001B> "May I suggest then an alliance to help
each other from them?"
[2009-08-30 18:12:57] <Alanna> "Would you mind lowering your weapon?" She
asks lightly.
[2009-08-30 18:12:58] <GIRUGAMESH> The first, and theoretically easiest,
would be to manipulate the boundaries of the surrounding area into new forms.
However, the extent of the rule one would have over reality would be limited,
as the new field would still be bound to the World.
[2009-08-30 18:13:04] <PSS-001B> "I mean to protect"
[2009-08-30 18:13:52] <GIRUGAMESH> The second way would be a simple
separation, essentially ripping a part of the World from itself. While easier
than just about anything else, it would be incredibly limited, as the laws of
reality would be unchanged.
[2009-08-30 18:14:01] * Aloysius steps back, out of immediate striking
range, and lowers his rifle slowly.
[2009-08-30 18:14:08] <GIRUGAMESH> The field would no longer be in the
World, but the rules of the World would still, mostly, affect it.
[2009-08-30 18:14:16] <GIRUGAMESH> This is what we would call a Reality Pulse.
[2009-08-30 18:14:40] <GIRUGAMESH> The final, and most difficult theorem,
would be a combination of the first two.
[2009-08-30 18:15:38] <GIRUGAMESH> The walling out of a piece of the World,
and then using the ensuing separation to facilitate utterly supplanting the
rule of natural law for the rule of the magus controlling it.
[2009-08-30 18:16:04] <Alanna> "Thank you, Instructor Craft." She smiles
kindly at him. "I am no threat to you and yours."
[2009-08-30 18:16:06] <Sophia> Sophia shuts the book. "Aloysius. Our
difficulties are greater than we ever conceived of."
[2009-08-30 18:16:11] <GIRUGAMESH> It would be incredibly hard, as
everything indicates that the World would immediately attempt to crush such
an affront and bring the separate field back to itself.
[2009-08-30 18:16:53] <GIRUGAMESH> Success, however, would result in the
creation of a "perfect universe", for the caster. A private field that obeyed
only the whims of the wizard's soul.
[2009-08-30 18:16:58] <GIRUGAMESH> A Reality Marble.
[2009-08-30 18:17:06] <GIRUGAMESH> The book goes on to describe other,
unrelated topics.
[2009-08-30 18:17:17] <Sophia> "Aloysius, a word. In private."
[2009-08-30 18:18:12] * Aloysius gives Alanna a parting glance then steps
back into the narrow corridor between the bookshelves, over to Sophia. "What
is it?" He whispers.
[2009-08-30 18:18:28] <Sophia> "We have very grave problems. Graver than we
might suspect."
[2009-08-30 18:18:51] <Aloysius> "How bad?" He asks.
[2009-08-30 18:19:02] <Sophia> "Gilgamesh is trying to perform very advanced
type of magic. An aberrant type of magic, that defies even the laws of magic."
[2009-08-30 18:19:31] <Alanna> "I would have no real problems joining with
you, good sir...there is safety in numbers."
[2009-08-30 18:19:45] <Sophia> "He is attempting to create a universe-within-
the-universe, so to speak. A "bubble" of reality placed inside our own,
totally separate from the outside."
[2009-08-30 18:20:04] <Sophia> "This inner world will be entirely subject to
his whims. He will be a 'god', as he claimed."
[2009-08-30 18:20:15] <Sophia> "And we will be trapped inside."
[2009-08-30 18:20:25] <Aloysius> "So he's doing this to be a god? Great."
[2009-08-30 18:20:36] <PSS-001B> "Good, the more we are the safer we will be"
[2009-08-30 18:20:52] <Sophia> "Aloysius, we need to leave soon. Exuent
omnes."
[2009-08-30 18:21:06] <Sophia> Sophia's hands are trembling slightly.
[2009-08-30 18:21:41] <Aloysius> "Where do we need to go? Out the front door?"
[2009-08-30 18:22:17] <Sophia> "I do not know!" she snaps. "I only know
this: we need to get as far from here as we can. Perhaps we could steal a
transport, I don't know!"
[2009-08-30 18:22:34] <Sophia> "All I know.. I'm deathly afraid. This is the
most fearful I have ever been in my life."
[2009-08-30 18:22:38] <Sophia> "We will be his toys."
[2009-08-30 18:22:59] <Aloysius> "Calm down." He says sternly.
[2009-08-30 18:23:43] <Sophia> "Calm down? How am I to be tranquil?!"
[2009-08-30 18:24:00] <Sophia> "Please, Aloysius... let us go. Now. I cannot
bear to remain still for another second!"
[2009-08-30 18:24:47] <Aloysius> "Fine, but I don't need you freaking out on
me." He says walking back to the other two. "We need to go. Now."
[2009-08-30 18:25:19] * Alanna arches a brow. "Something wrong?"
[2009-08-30 18:25:41] <PSS-001B> "Are we been traced?"
[2009-08-30 18:25:59] <Sophia> "No, no nothing at all," says Sophia, voice
slightly shrill. "Just let us begin walking, and find an egress in a
forthwith manner!"
[2009-08-30 18:26:18] <GIRUGAMESH> The party moves on through the library.
[2009-08-30 18:26:42] * Alanna begins humming and singing again quietly.
[2009-08-30 18:27:04] <Alanna> "...With noble acts, the bravest souls..."
[2009-08-30 18:27:12] <GIRUGAMESH> The shadows of the massive bookcases
tower over you as you walk through the labyrinth of books, going down floor
to floor. G, F, E, D...
[2009-08-30 18:27:12] <PSS-001B> *Jerid moves looking around, expecting an
ambush*
[2009-08-30 18:27:24] <Alanna> "...Endure the heart's remains..."
[2009-08-30 18:27:33] <GIRUGAMESH> Finally, you reach an open space, a large
rotunda.
[2009-08-30 18:27:53] <Alanna> "...Discard regret, that in this debt..."
[2009-08-30 18:28:08] <Alanna> "...A better world is made..."
[2009-08-30 18:28:15] * Aloysius stops and looks around. "I don't like the
looks of this place." he says, looking for an ambush.
[2009-08-30 18:28:39] <GIRUGAMESH> The dome above is decorated with
beautiful paintings. Man discovering magic. Man mastering nature.
[2009-08-30 18:28:43] <GIRUGAMESH> Man becoming...
[2009-08-30 18:28:46] <GIRUGAMESH> There is a sound of thunder!
[2009-08-30 18:29:06] <GIRUGAMESH> The party rears back as a flash of light
shines in front of their eyes and a new enemy appears.
[2009-08-30 18:29:13] <GIRUGAMESH> "Hello!"
[2009-08-30 18:29:13] <Alanna> "...That children of a newer day might
remember..."
[2009-08-30 18:29:23] *** Jonah (aca53d4b@widget.mibbit.com) joined
[2009-08-30 18:29:32] <Sophia> [Huzzah!]
[2009-08-30 18:29:42] <Jonah> [Sorry! What I miss?]
[2009-08-30 18:29:48] <GIRUGAMESH> (Just in time for the boss fight)
[2009-08-30 18:29:53] * Aloysius winces at the light, then whips his rifle
up. "Who the hell are you!?"
[2009-08-30 18:29:55] <Jonah> [Lovely...]
[2009-08-30 18:29:56] <GIRUGAMESH> It's Alyssa, the ghostly girl from before.
[2009-08-30 18:30:04] <Alanna> "Good eve."
[2009-08-30 18:30:25] <GIRUGAMESH> Her long black hair swims in a
nonexistant breeze, and her ghostly eyes stare down at you with undisguised
amusement.
[2009-08-30 18:30:32] <PSS-001B> "...you!"
[2009-08-30 18:30:57] <GIRUGAMESH> Alyssa blinks in confusion.
[2009-08-30 18:30:59] * Jonah growls under her breath. "Not again.."
[2009-08-30 18:31:01] <Alanna> "Not a friend, I take it?" Alanna asks, a
touch of bemusement in her voice.
[2009-08-30 18:31:12] <GIRUGAMESH> "Who are *you*, da ze? Where's Lia?"
[2009-08-30 18:31:38] <PSS-001B> "She is not available for the moment"
[2009-08-30 18:32:00] <Aloysius> "Not at all." He growls to Alanna.
[2009-08-30 18:32:11] <GIRUGAMESH> "How annoying," Alyssa answers with a
girlish frown. "Oh well."
[2009-08-30 18:32:16] <Sophia> "You. Girl. Did Gilgamesh create you? Answer
me immediately."
[2009-08-30 18:32:35] * Alanna sighs, and facepalms.
[2009-08-30 18:32:48] <GIRUGAMESH> "The ugly man in the gay armor?" Alyssa
answers innocently.
[2009-08-30 18:33:00] <Sophia> "Yes. Him."
[2009-08-30 18:33:01] <GIRUGAMESH> "Nah. I only serve Lady Kanako. But maybe
she serves him, da ze."
[2009-08-30 18:33:19] <Aloysius> "And who is Lady Kanako?"
[2009-08-30 18:33:21] <GIRUGAMESH> "Anyways..."
[2009-08-30 18:33:22] <Sophia> "I see. I must speak with Lady Kanako. Can
you bring her here?"
[2009-08-30 18:33:28] <GIRUGAMESH> "Nah."
[2009-08-30 18:33:38] <Sophia> "In that case, you are of no use to us."
[2009-08-30 18:33:48] * Alanna looks up at the ghost. "Is this the time for
the fight, or is there a way we can perhaps avoid it?" She asks the ghostly
girl.
[2009-08-30 18:34:03] <GIRUGAMESH> "But anyways..." Alyssa smiles. "It looks
like you beat my toys back there."
[2009-08-30 18:34:03] <GIRUGAMESH> "That's no fair," she pouts, "I still
want to play."
[2009-08-30 18:34:03] <Sophia> "Aloysius. Dispose of her."
[2009-08-30 18:34:25] * Jonah glances to one side at Sophia, alarm bells
beginning to ring. "Want help, sir?"
[2009-08-30 18:34:26] <GIRUGAMESH> "Oh, yeesh," Alyssa rolls her eyes, "you
guys have no sense for the dramatic..."

damned ghost. He pushes the pain to the side and raises his rifle to try again.

twice!, thrice!.
[2009-09-06 17:19:51] <GIRUGAMESH> Aloysius' rifle has one shot left!
[2009-09-06 17:20:01] <GIRUGAMESH> Calc'ing damage...
[2009-09-06 17:21:11] <GIRUGAMESH> Alyssa is hit for a whopping 192 damage!
This is the last time I'm letting a player get away with having an assault
rifle like this!
[2009-09-06 17:21:21] <Sophia> [Oh, come on.]
[2009-09-06 17:21:28] <Sophia> [You wouldn't hesitate to use one on us.]

[2009-09-06 17:21:39] <GIRUGAMESH> Alyssa is at 33 HP! Ectoplasmic blood seeps
from her wounds!
[2009-09-06 17:22:19] <GIRUGAMESH> (Grats, you crossed her HP threshold. Did I
mention that Spellcards are defined by how much damage the boss takes, not
their actions?)
[2009-09-06 17:23:04] <GIRUGAMESH> "Damned... mortal..." she mutters, nearly
falling from her floating position, "damn you all!"
[2009-09-06 17:23:07] * Aloysius peers through the smoke from the discharges
and growls when he sees the ghost is still alive. "You're going down!" He
snarls, emptying the purple clip at the ghost.
[2009-09-06 17:23:07] <GIRUGAMESH> Alyssa regenerates!
[2009-09-06 17:23:14] <GIRUGAMESH> For 100 HP!

[2009-09-06 17:24:25] <GIRUGAMESH> Alyssa floats even higher towards the
cupola! "You know," she says, and her voice has a slightly deranged quality to
it, "I thought I'd keep you as my toys after this... but in retrospect, I'm
going TO BREAK YOU ALL!"
[2009-09-06 17:24:28] <GIRUGAMESH> -SECOND SPELLCARD-

[2009-09-06 17:25:17] <Sophia> [We're just too hardcore for him]
[2009-09-06 17:25:25] <GIRUGAMESH> Runic circles gather across Alyssa, then
spin around her before positioning themselves, locking, like bullseyes, on each
member of the party.
[2009-09-06 17:25:31] <GIRUGAMESH> [The computer always cheats]
[2009-09-06 17:25:40] <Sophia> [you're a computer?]

[2009-09-06 17:27:20] <GIRUGAMESH> Then circles spin, energy gathering around
their intricate centers. Thousands of bullets choke the air with magic,
covering the wide hall in deadly projectiles shaped like cherry blossoms!
[2009-09-06 17:27:20] <Sophia> [that was pretty epic]
[2009-09-06 17:27:27] <GIRUGAMESH> [No, wait till the final spellcard]

[2009-09-06 17:38:57] <GIRUGAMESH> She's used up her regeneration!
[2009-09-06 17:39:02] <GIRUGAMESH> Jonah is dead!
[2009-09-06 17:39:05] <GIRUGAMESH> Alanna's turn!
[2009-09-06 17:39:08] <GIRUGAMESH> You have two actions!
[2009-09-06 17:39:18] <Sophia> [for the love of god, don't set off another
spell card]
[2009-09-06 17:39:33] * Alanna growls low in her throat and presses in on
Alyssa, not intending to let her have any breathing space.
[2009-09-06 17:40:02] <GIRUGAMESH> "I don't breathe!" Alyssa breaks the fourth
wall to answer back, "I'm a ghost!"
[2009-09-06 17:40:09] <@Alanna> 2d6+12 energy blade.
[2009-09-06 17:40:12] <Asuka> Alanna, energy blade.: 20 [2d6=4,4]
[2009-09-06 17:40:14] <Aloysius> [...]
[2009-09-06 17:40:41] <GIRUGAMESH> ...you're using your melee energy blade on
a floating target.
[2009-09-06 17:40:55] <@Alanna> [...I can Fly, ray.]
[2009-09-06 17:40:56] <GIRUGAMESH> A target floating easily 20 meters above you.
[2009-09-06 17:41:14] <@Alanna> [What's more, I can fly 30 meters a round.]
[2009-09-06 17:41:30] <GIRUGAMESH> Not denying that, but wouldn't it be a lot
easier to just, you know, shoot her?
[2009-09-06 17:41:43] <@Alanna> [...Ghost? Insubstantial?]
[2009-09-06 17:41:49] <Aloysius> [The blade is multidimensional.]
[2009-09-06 17:41:58] <@Alanna> [Only weapon I have tagged as Multi-D is the
energy blade?]
[2009-09-06 17:42:11] <GIRUGAMESH> Goddamit, what is it with you people
actually using your brains. >_<
[2009-09-06 17:42:31] <Sophia> [DM: outsmarted].
[2009-09-06 17:42:50] <GIRUGAMESH> Silence, or Sophia will get auto-hit come
the next spellcard.
[2009-09-06 17:42:57] <Aloysius> [We have to do /something/ to not get creamed.]
[2009-09-06 17:43:14] <GIRUGAMESH> 2d6+12
[2009-09-06 17:43:15] <Asuka> GIRUGAMESH, 2d6+12: 20 [2d6=5,3]
[2009-09-06 17:43:22] <GIRUGAMESH> Half damage!
[2009-09-06 17:43:56] <GIRUGAMESH> Alyssa takes 27 damage!
[2009-09-06 17:44:15] <GIRUGAMESH> [Alyssa: 82 HP]
[2009-09-06 17:44:18] * Alanna reserves her next action to attempt to disrupt
Alyssa's next attack.
[2009-09-06 17:44:29] <GIRUGAMESH> ...good luck.
[2009-09-06 17:44:41] <Sophia> [shoulda attacked]
[2009-09-06 17:44:48] * Alanna shrugs. Stabbing people in the nexk usually
distracts them fairly well.
[2009-09-06 17:45:14] <GIRUGAMESH> [he can still use the reserved action to
counterattack and end the fight if she manages to defend in the next barrage]
[2009-09-06 17:45:48] <GIRUGAMESH> Alyssa grunts in pain, bringing her hands
to her multiple wounds.
[2009-09-06 17:46:03] <GIRUGAMESH> "Idiots... no matter how hard you try, you
can't kill something that's already dead..."
[2009-09-06 17:46:05] <GIRUGAMESH> Sophia's turn!
[2009-09-06 17:46:09] <GIRUGAMESH> She has 3 actions!
[2009-09-06 17:46:15] <Sophia> Restoration of All Flesh!
[2009-09-06 17:46:55] <GIRUGAMESH> [...rp it!]
[2009-09-06 17:47:16] * Sophia sprays the party with industrial hoses, soaking
them thoroughly with soapy healing solvent.
[2009-09-06 17:47:27] <Sophia> "Mein Gott! I knew that these would be useful!"
[2009-09-06 17:47:40] <Sophia> "But would the Research Institute approve funds
for me to develop the technology?"
[2009-09-06 17:47:42] <Sophia> "NO!"
[2009-09-06 17:47:45] <Sophia> "Philistines, one and all!"
[2009-09-06 17:47:59] * Sophia soaks herself.
[2009-09-06 17:48:09] <GIRUGAMESH> Wet t-shirt!
[2009-09-06 17:48:21] <Sophia> "Ahh... simply sublime; sublimely divine, and
it makes my mammary glands appear larger!"
[2009-09-06 17:48:22] * Aloysius sighs in relief as the pain vanishes.
"Sophia. You are the most beautiful thing on the face of the planet." He says,
rising to his feet.
[2009-09-06 17:48:47] * Sophia blushes, grinning slightly. "Well, good sir,
you are quite well-proportioned yourself."
[2009-09-06 17:49:01] <Sophia> "Indeed, your nose is scaled perfectly to your
face."
[2009-09-06 17:49:17] * Jonah raises one arm, a thin smile on her face. "An' I
agree with Gunny over there... completely non-sexual way of course."
[2009-09-06 17:49:19] <GIRUGAMESH> 90 HP HEAL TO ALL THE PARTY
[2009-09-06 17:49:24] <GIRUGAMESH> Jonah has returned!
[2009-09-06 17:49:28] <GIRUGAMESH> Jerid has returned!
[2009-09-06 17:49:31] * Aloysius rolls his eyes. "C'mon, lets finish this
little bitch off."
[2009-09-06 17:49:58] <PSS-001B> "I'm getting tired of been shot down...
anyway thanks Sophia"
[2009-09-06 17:50:04] <GIRUGAMESH> [Player Status: Sophia (85 HP), Aloysius
(95 HP), Jerid (60 HP), Alanna - Combat (85 HP), Jonah (60 HP)] 21:27
GIRUGAMESH [Alyssa: 225 HP]
[2009-09-06 17:50:06] * Sophia bows, formally.
[2009-09-06 17:50:12] <GIRUGAMESH> Jonah's turn!
[2009-09-06 17:50:26] <GIRUGAMESH> She has three actions!
[2009-09-06 17:50:39] <Sophia> HEY
[2009-09-06 17:50:42] <PSS-001B> [Hey wasn't Alyssa HP 82]
[2009-09-06 17:50:43] <Sophia> My turn isn't over!
[2009-09-06 17:51:17] <@Alanna> [He hasn't updated his copy/paste for that
part yet. ^.^]
[2009-09-06 17:51:25] <GIRUGAMESH> [guh, really sorry. Everytime somebody uses
an ultimate move, I instantly assume their turn is over]
[2009-09-06 17:51:33] <GIRUGAMESH> Ahem!
[2009-09-06 17:51:40] <GIRUGAMESH> Reality Retcon!
[2009-09-06 17:51:47] <GIRUGAMESH> Sophia's turn!
[2009-09-06 17:51:50] <GIRUGAMESH> She has two actions left!
[2009-09-06 17:52:08] <Sophia> [factoring in the book, can I use my ultimate
again in this round?]
[2009-09-06 17:52:35] <Sophia> [fight, I should say?]
[2009-09-06 17:53:11] <GIRUGAMESH> [No. You can only heal people up to your
attribute limit once a fight]
[2009-09-06 17:53:22] <Sophia> [OK.]
[2009-09-06 17:53:24] <Sophia> Hmm...
[2009-09-06 17:53:29] <Sophia> Jonah's next?
[2009-09-06 17:53:37] <Jonah> Mhm.
[2009-09-06 17:53:55] <GIRUGAMESH> [Teeechnically speaking, you could ult to
heal yourself for like 20 HP, and Alanna for like 10, since they weren't healed
up to the full 90HP/restored to life]
[2009-09-06 17:54:07] <GIRUGAMESH> [Don't see the point of wasting 40 EP for
that, though]
[2009-09-06 17:54:31] <GIRUGAMESH> Sophia has 45 EP left!
[2009-09-06 17:54:41] <GIRUGAMESH> *Actually, no...
[2009-09-06 17:54:53] <GIRUGAMESH> Make that 25. You've used two syringes this
far.
[2009-09-06 17:55:00] <GIRUGAMESH> And each has Deplete -1.
[2009-09-06 17:55:21] <Sophia> OK...
[2009-09-06 17:55:45] <Sophia> And Jonah is next? I want to be absolutely sure.
[2009-09-06 17:55:51] <@Alanna> [Why you use Charges instead of deplete. ^.^]
[2009-09-06 17:55:52] <Jonah> Yes.
[2009-09-06 17:56:11] <Sophia> OK. Superstrength and Anphetimine on Jonah.
[2009-09-06 17:56:18] <Sophia> Pwn this bitch with your sword!
[2009-09-06 17:56:37] <Jonah> Actually... wait, is it on the ground now?
[2009-09-06 17:56:58] <GIRUGAMESH> ...no.
[2009-09-06 17:57:03] <PSS-001B> no, but can't you exorcise her?
[2009-09-06 17:57:08] <GIRUGAMESH> ...yes.
[2009-09-06 17:57:23] <Jonah> Hmm.
[2009-09-06 17:57:25] <GIRUGAMESH> Jonah's turn!
[2009-09-06 17:57:33] <GIRUGAMESH> She has four actions!
[2009-09-06 17:57:39] <GIRUGAMESH> Sophia is at 5 EP!
[2009-09-06 17:57:50] <Aloysius> [Summon your soldier!]
[2009-09-06 17:57:57] <GIRUGAMESH> Sophia is nearly knocked out!
[2009-09-06 17:58:11] <Sophia> [Just exorcise the fuck out of her]
[2009-09-06 17:58:16] <GIRUGAMESH> -3 to all rolls this turn, Sophia!
[2009-09-06 17:58:17] <GIRUGAMESH> <_<
[2009-09-06 17:58:43] <GIRUGAMESH> Watch your EP... seriously. 0 EP means you
fall unconscious and become a tasty warm meal for the Shahan.
[2009-09-06 17:59:10] * Jonah grins and gets to her feet, wringing her
shirttail out a little as a spirit rises behind her. "Now then... you and I
need to have one hell of a come-to-Jesus meeting, ghost. However... it can wait
for a second." A body covered in runes materializes next to Sophia and kneels
beside her, energy flowing from its mutilated hands.
[2009-09-06 17:59:12] <Jonah> Heal.
[2009-09-06 17:59:29] <Sophia> .................
[2009-09-06 17:59:36] <Sophia> [Oh.]
[2009-09-06 17:59:39] <Jonah> Three left, correcT?
[2009-09-06 17:59:50] <GIRUGAMESH> ...er-
[2009-09-06 18:00:19] <GIRUGAMESH> Sophia is at full health, and your Spirit's
Healing doesn't heal EP.
[2009-09-06 18:00:38] <Aloysius> {I could use some some health]
[2009-09-06 18:00:42] <Jonah> Ah.
[2009-09-06 18:00:44] <GIRUGAMESH> Waste of an action!
[2009-09-06 18:00:48] <GIRUGAMESH> The DM laughs!
[2009-09-06 18:00:54] <Jonah> But she-- ....hrm.
[2009-09-06 18:01:01] <GIRUGAMESH> Jonah has three actions left!
[2009-09-06 18:01:16] <GIRUGAMESH> (Don't worry, you've actions up the wazoo.
The spirit only had the one action, though)
[2009-09-06 18:01:21] <Sophia> [just exorcize!]
[2009-09-06 18:01:49] * Jonah glances back to the spirit. Ah well. She draws a
single rune in the air and whispers a word of power, calling forth Demonic
Strike to excorcise the spirit.
[2009-09-06 18:02:04] <GIRUGAMESH> *digs for Exorcism rules*
[2009-09-06 18:03:56] <GIRUGAMESH> Alright Jonah, roll Soul + Exorcism level!
[2009-09-06 18:04:14] <Jonah> Okay.
[2009-09-06 18:05:02] <Jonah> 2d6+15
[2009-09-06 18:05:03] <Asuka> Jonah, 2d6+15: 21 [2d6=2,4]
[2009-09-06 18:05:13] <GIRUGAMESH> 2d6+10
[2009-09-06 18:05:14] <Asuka> GIRUGAMESH, 2d6+10: 18 [2d6=5,3]
[2009-09-06 18:05:19] <GIRUGAMESH> Alyssa is hit!
[2009-09-06 18:05:23] <GIRUGAMESH> 40 damage!
[2009-09-06 18:05:27] <GIRUGAMESH> She can't regenerate!
[2009-09-06 18:05:35] <Sophia> [You can finish her!]
[2009-09-06 18:05:42] <GIRUGAMESH> GIRUGAMESH [Alyssa: 42 HP]
[2009-09-06 18:05:51] <Sophia> [Ray will try to pull something out of his ass,
but do it anyway!]
[2009-09-06 18:06:04] * Jonah grins and jumps, her sword flashing down in a
single, near-silent stroke.
[2009-09-06 18:06:50] <GIRUGAMESH> ...can you jump 30 meters? <_<
[2009-09-06 18:06:58] <GIRUGAMESH> But whatever, I'll let it fly. Roll attack!
[2009-09-06 18:07:13] <Jonah> My deepest thanks.

[2009-09-06 18:07:34] <@Alanna> [wrong channel. ^.^]
[2009-09-06 18:07:34] <GIRUGAMESH> ...er?
[2009-09-06 18:07:45] <Jonah> [...heh.]
[2009-09-06 18:07:55] <GIRUGAMESH> That was 2d6+12, Jonah...
[2009-09-06 18:08:15] <Jonah> No, 12's defense and 6's attack. *holds up Post-
it*
[2009-09-06 18:08:44] <GIRUGAMESH> We're both wrong, actually
[2009-09-06 18:08:45] <GIRUGAMESH> 4 12 Melee Attack (Sword)
[2009-09-06 18:08:54] <GIRUGAMESH> 6+4+1 Accurate on your blade.
[2009-09-06 18:09:01] <GIRUGAMESH> equal to 2d6+11
[2009-09-06 18:09:01] <Jonah> So....11?
[2009-09-06 18:09:05] <GIRUGAMESH> Yes.
[2009-09-06 18:09:07] <Jonah> 2d6+11
[2009-09-06 18:09:08] <Asuka> Jonah, 2d6+11: 16 [2d6=4,1]
[2009-09-06 18:09:50] <GIRUGAMESH> Alyssa screams as she sees her doom coming
towards her, and puts her arms over her face as she makes a wild attempt to
dodge!
[2009-09-06 18:09:52] <GIRUGAMESH> 2d6+12
[2009-09-06 18:09:53] <Asuka> GIRUGAMESH, 2d6+12: 19 [2d6=3,4]
[2009-09-06 18:10:53] <GIRUGAMESH> She dodges successfully, careening away
from Jonah. In a final, vengeful move, her ghostly, energy charged leg slams
against Jonah's face, sending the exorcist falling away from her!
[2009-09-06 18:11:01] <GIRUGAMESH> "No, no, no, no, NO!"
[2009-09-06 18:11:31] * Aloysius swears when the ghost evades her doom.
[2009-09-06 18:11:35] <GIRUGAMESH> Alyssa's face looks desperate. Her
expression is ragged, tired, her eyes utterly disbelieving.
[2009-09-06 18:11:36] * Jonah yelps in surprise, pupils dilating as her mind
tries to make sense of the reversal.
[2009-09-06 18:11:55] <GIRUGAMESH> "No, no, I won't die to petty little humans
like this... I... Lady Kanako!"
[2009-09-06 18:12:05] <GIRUGAMESH> -SPELLCARD THRESHOLD!-
[2009-09-06 18:12:10] * Sophia adjusts her collar, thoughtfully. "There is no
one coming to help you, girl."
[2009-09-06 18:12:17] <Sophia> "You are at an end."

[2009-09-06 18:13:25] <GIRUGAMESH> Alyssa floats even higher, reaching the
very tip of the cupola. As she reaches out for inside herself for energy,
something dark and amazing begins to coalesce over her chest... a red gem,
perfectly cut, glowing like a hundred suns!
[2009-09-06 18:13:29] <GIRUGAMESH> It's her Boss Core!
[2009-09-06 18:13:50] * Alanna sees a target of oppurtunity!

threatens, "I'll be back... but..."
[2009-09-06 18:14:11] <GIRUGAMESH> "If I have to go, for however long..."
[2009-09-06 18:14:17] <GIRUGAMESH> "...I'LL TAKE YOU ALL WITH ME!"
[2009-09-06 18:14:26] * Alanna wishes to slam the emitter array of her sword
against the red gem!

has time.
[2009-09-06 18:15:26] <Aloysius> [Heh]
[2009-09-06 18:15:58] <GIRUGAMESH> There are no runic circles, no sign of

[2009-09-06 18:16:40] * Alanna wonders what the voice in her head means about
no warning...after all, she was monologuing and pulled an ultimate item out of
hiding just when she was about to die.

[2009-09-06 18:17:44] <GIRUGAMESH> THE WHOLE PARTY DODGED!
[2009-09-06 18:17:46] <GIRUGAMESH> FINISH HER!

[2009-09-06 18:18:41] <@Alanna> [Not me, I missed.]
[2009-09-06 18:18:56] <GIRUGAMESH> ...nah, this is too epic to let it pass.

slow for bullet time)
[2009-09-06 18:20:39] <GIRUGAMESH> Alyssa appears to dodge, but...
[2009-09-06 18:20:46] <GIRUGAMESH> Alanna, roll Soul.
[2009-09-06 18:20:54] <@Alanna> [Hey, my good stat...]

[2009-09-06 18:21:15] <GIRUGAMESH> You scraped the DC. You pass.
[2009-09-06 18:21:28] <GIRUGAMESH> The energy blade slams into the Boss Core!
[2009-09-06 18:22:09] <GIRUGAMESH> The red gem cracks and breaks!
[2009-09-06 18:22:23] <GIRUGAMESH> Alyssa has fallen!
[2009-09-06 18:22:34] <GIRUGAMESH> A brilliant flash of light envelops the
room...
[2009-09-06 18:22:35] * Sophia applauds politely.
[2009-09-06 18:23:01] * Aloysius pumps his fist. "Fuck yeah! Good hit!!"
[2009-09-06 18:23:05] <GIRUGAMESH> When it clears, Alyssa is nowhere to be
seen, and the party stands, battered but alive, in the center of the hall.
[2009-09-06 18:23:18] <PSS-001B> "great job"
[2009-09-06 18:23:23] * Jonah grins. "We won?"
[2009-09-06 18:24:00] * Alanna hovers silently in midair for a short moment,
then silently falls to the ground, absorbing the impact easily.
[2009-09-06 18:24:09] <GIRUGAMESH> Alyssa dropped Multicoloured Crystal!
[2009-09-06 18:24:37] <PSS-001B> Jerid turn into Lia who runts to the crystal
[2009-09-06 18:24:50] <GIRUGAMESH> It's a clear cut prism gem, shining all the
colors of the rainbow.
[2009-09-06 18:25:00] <GIRUGAMESH> It's purpose is unknown... maybe a magical
matrix?
[2009-09-06 18:25:08] <Sophia> Sophia grabs Lia by the shoulder. "No, stay
back."

[2009-09-06 18:25:11] <Jonah> "Hmm, sparkly... do we get to keep it?"
[2009-09-06 18:25:26] <GIRUGAMESH> [It's the boss drop, guys. The reward.]
[2009-09-06 18:25:28] <PSS-001B> Lia looks at the crystal "Alyssa, you there?"
[2009-09-06 18:25:31] <GIRUGAMESH> [It's safe.]
[2009-09-06 18:25:44] <Sophia> I analyze it with my towering intellect!
[2009-09-06 18:25:59] <GIRUGAMESH> Roll mind.
[2009-09-06 18:26:10] <Sophia> 2d6+10
[2009-09-06 18:26:11] <Asuka> Sophia, 2d6+10: 19 [2d6=4,5]
[2009-09-06 18:26:31] <PSS-001B> she pokes the crystal "Hey Alyssa, you say we
would play. So come to play something nicer"
[2009-09-06 18:27:38] <GIRUGAMESH> Sophia's intellect reasons that the crystal
is clearly a magical matrix of some sort... an energy container used to cast a
powerful spell that might be too much for a wizard's body otherwise.
[2009-09-06 18:27:39] * Aloysius loads a regular magazine into his rifle and
steps over to them. He doesn't look at the crystal, instead he sweeps their
surrounding for any more enemies.
[2009-09-06 18:27:48] <GIRUGAMESH> A spellcaster ought to know how to use it.
[2009-09-06 18:27:53] <GIRUGAMESH> *wink, PSS, nudge*
[2009-09-06 18:28:07] <Sophia> "It is a magical matrix, designed to contain a
powerful magic."
[2009-09-06 18:28:12] <Sophia> "Jerid, I need you."
[2009-09-06 18:28:38] <PSS-001B> "Fine... I'll bring him" Lia turn int Jerid
[2009-09-06 18:28:51] <Sophia> "Jerid, examine this for me."
[2009-09-06 18:28:56] <@Alanna> A cracking sound echos through the room, and
Alanna falls to her knees as her exoskeletal shell cracks open, revealing
seared flesh and occasional patches of bone. The material liquifies and sinks
into her body, leaving her kneeling on the ground, her clothes tattered and
torn; with raw, burned looking flesh quickly healing over.
[2009-09-06 18:28:56] <Sophia> Sophia drops the crystal into his hand.
[2009-09-06 18:29:45] <PSS-001B> Jerid attempts to examine the crystal
[2009-09-06 18:29:48] <GIRUGAMESH> [G'dammit guys, brb]
[2009-09-06 18:29:55] <GIRUGAMESH> [Jerid, roll Mind, DC 12]
[2009-09-06 18:30:03] * Aloysius approaches Alanna. "What are you?" He asks,
warily.
[2009-09-06 18:30:24] * Jonah blinks. Something like that would need a very
powerful spell... either that or she isn't human at all.
[2009-09-06 18:30:25] <Sophia> "She is a regenerator, plainly." Sophia stalks
over. "A truly remarkably scale, I must say."
[2009-09-06 18:30:29] <PSS-001B> 2d6+7
[2009-09-06 18:30:30] <Asuka> PSS-001B, 2d6+7: 14 [2d6=5,2]
[2009-09-06 18:30:44] <@Alanna> "I was human, once." She says, quietly.
[2009-09-06 18:30:50] <Jonah> "Are you guys sure you should eb that close?
That presents something of a biohazrd---'
[2009-09-06 18:31:00] <PSS-001B> "I know that feeling"
[2009-09-06 18:31:07] <Sophia> "Tell me, Winterborn, how have you achieved
such an astounding feat of human regeneration?"
[2009-09-06 18:31:19] <Sophia> "I must know."
[2009-09-06 18:31:22] <Sophia> "MUST."
[2009-09-06 18:31:26] <Sophia> "KNOW."
[2009-09-06 18:31:33] <@Alanna> "I was altered. By a madman, who wanted a
weapon."
[2009-09-06 18:31:56] <Aloysius> "So, you're a bioweapon?"
[2009-09-06 18:32:19] <Sophia> "I do not care about WHY, I must know HOW!"
[2009-09-06 18:32:25] <@Alanna> "No. I am a person. He -wanted- a weapon."
[2009-09-06 18:32:32] <PSS-001B> "Most likely no, just an altered person"
[2009-09-06 18:33:17] <Aloysius> "Sophia, calm down." He turns back to Alanna.
"Did he fail? You seem to be pretty effective in combat to me."
[2009-09-06 18:34:11] <@Alanna> "Failure is...relative. I have free will. I
choose to regard myself as a person, once human, instead of nothing but a
weapon."
[2009-09-06 18:34:48] <@Alanna> "As for the details of what he did...I don't
know them. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you."
[2009-09-06 18:35:01] <Sophia> "Curses, foiled again!"
[2009-09-06 18:35:03] <Sophia> Sophia stalks off.
[2009-09-06 18:35:23] <PSS-001B> "We agree on that, detail of that kind of
experiments must be destroyed"
[2009-09-06 18:35:50] * Jonah rolls her eyes, glancing after the scientist
with a shy glare as if she barely has the right to do so. "Tact, much?"
[2009-09-06 18:35:53] * Alanna watches her walk away, cradling her left wrist
in her other hand, eyes wary.
[2009-09-06 18:37:08] * Aloysius nods. "That is why you were so hesitant about
giving your name. You didn't want to be a tool." His grins, but there is
something more in the expression than friendly understanding. "Now I better
calm the crazy doctor." He says, walking after her.
[2009-09-06 18:37:48] <Jonah> "Good luck, sir."
[2009-09-06 18:37:51] <@Alanna> Standing, Alanna watches the group quietly.
[2009-09-06 18:38:18] * Jonah tilts her head at her, eyes narrowing at the
corners. "...are you hurt?"
[2009-09-06 18:38:42] <@Alanna> "Not for long." She says, a slight trace of
bitterness in her voice.
[2009-09-06 18:38:43] * Sophia begins to rant. "All I wish to do is collect
all of the data I can. I wish to arrange it into neat rows, analyze it and
study it in an exhaustive and scientific fashion. Is it so wrong that my vast
and prodigious intellect wishes to understand?"
[2009-09-06 18:39:06] <Sophia> "But, I have been consistently stymied in my
efforts!"
[2009-09-06 18:39:20] <Sophia> "I... did not wish to harm anyone."
[2009-09-06 18:39:22] <GIRUGAMESH> "Meh, everyone knows you're just one of
those smart-speaking idiots."
[2009-09-06 18:39:31] <GIRUGAMESH> The voice echoes... from the crystal?
[2009-09-06 18:39:33] * Sophia freezes midstep.
[2009-09-06 18:39:46] * Aloysius approaches Sophia. "Now you know why we have
whole divisions devoted to collect intelligence. It's valuable and /very/ hard
to come b-what the fuck!?"
[2009-09-06 18:40:28] * Jonah twitches. "...Lovely, it talks. What next, the
candlestick starts singing about France?"
[2009-09-06 18:40:40] <GIRUGAMESH> "Oy, mortals. Object of destruction dropped
by your last opponent. Pay attention. And hello, Lia. As you might know, I'm
your new spell matrix."
[2009-09-06 18:41:08] <GIRUGAMESH> "And watch it, exorcist. You couldn't even
kill me that last time, your smart talk is getting empty."
[2009-09-06 18:41:28] <PSS-001B> "can't be, won't she stop giving me
trouble... you are Alyssa right?"
[2009-09-06 18:41:31] <Sophia> Sophia rushes over, grinning manically.
[2009-09-06 18:41:36] <Jonah> "I resent that, I am not an Excorcist. I'm a
fully certified necromancer."
[2009-09-06 18:41:42] <Sophia> "I MUST KNOW HOW THIS WORKS I MUST KNOW HOW
THIS WORKS I MUST KNOW HOW THIS WORKS I MUST KNOW HOW THIS WORKS"
[2009-09-06 18:41:48] <GIRUGAMESH> "Whatever."
[2009-09-06 18:41:51] <Sophia> She shakes the crystal. "TELL ME HOW YOU WORK!"
[2009-09-06 18:41:56] <GIRUGAMESH> "Say, Lia? How about we play a game?"
[2009-09-06 18:42:03] <GIRUGAMESH> "It's called 'point and shoot'."
[2009-09-06 18:42:09] * Aloysius walks up and puts a hand on Sophia. "Calm.
The Fuck. Down." He orders.
[2009-09-06 18:42:15] <GIRUGAMESH> "You point, I shoot, this stupid... stop
shaking me! Scientist dies."
[2009-09-06 18:42:25] * Alanna watches the crystal. A slight trace of
amusement enters her voice, as she speaks in an undertone to Jonah. "You
know..it's really not that far to the sun..I could pop out of here, drop the
crystal off in a nice degrading orbit..."
[2009-09-06 18:42:41] <PSS-001B> Jerid turn into Lia "But Jerid said not to
hurt the scientist"
[2009-09-06 18:42:54] <Jonah> "Possibly... but how long would ti take you,"
she mutters.
[2009-09-06 18:43:11] <GIRUGAMESH> "That's funny, nano-girl. You'd slam full-
force into the Reality Pulse before you even left the Academy building."
[2009-09-06 18:43:19] <@Alanna> "Hmm...I don't have detailed astrographics in
this sector, but no longer than an hour or two."
[2009-09-06 18:43:23] <GIRUGAMESH> "I'm sure watching you gosplat would be
pretty."
[2009-09-06 18:43:25] <@Alanna> "REality pulse?"
[2009-09-06 18:43:30] <PSS-001B> "Hey! I'm not letting you throw her, she is
my new friend"
[2009-09-06 18:43:33] <Aloysius> "....You know about the Reality Pulse!?"
[2009-09-06 18:44:01] <GIRUGAMESH> "You're lovely, Lia. When Lady Kanako kills
you all, I'll ask her to spare you so we can keep playing."
[2009-09-06 18:44:08] * Jonah facepalms. "I knew it! I knew it-- okay, bring
out the talking candlestick. Come on, let's get him on stage already."
[2009-09-06 18:44:24] <Aloysius> "Who is Lady Kanako?"
[2009-09-06 18:44:30] <PSS-001B> Lia covers the Crystal
[2009-09-06 18:44:48] <GIRUGAMESH> "My mistress- hey, quit doing that, I can't
see!"
[2009-09-06 18:44:53] <@Alanna> "Crystal shatters fairly easily, as well."
She murmurs.
[2009-09-06 18:45:15] <PSS-001B> "Oop sorry" Lia stops covering the crystal
[2009-09-06 18:45:19] <Aloysius> "Everyone shut up! We need information that
this thing might provide."
[2009-09-06 18:45:37] <GIRUGAMESH> "Try me, nano-girl. The magic explosion
from breaking a soul crystal like the one I've been regressed to would turn you
into atoms."
[2009-09-06 18:45:51] <GIRUGAMESH> "And I'm not a thing."
[2009-09-06 18:45:58] <PSS-001B> "I need something to carry you while you are
able to see..."
[2009-09-06 18:46:24] <GIRUGAMESH> "I'm a *girl*. And a pretty one, at that.
Yeesh, I should've just killed you all when I had the chance. Except you, Lia.
You have nice breasts."
[2009-09-06 18:46:43] <@Alanna> "And that's supposed to frighten me?" She
laughs. "I've been looking for a way to die."
[2009-09-06 18:46:53] <PSS-001B> "Isn't that how men talk?"
[2009-09-06 18:46:57] <Jonah> "Hey now, don't go suicidal yet..."
[2009-09-06 18:47:25] <PSS-001B> "Onee-chan shouldn't try to kill herself" Lia
pouts
[2009-09-06 18:47:51] <Sophia> "'Onee-chan' would have enormous difficulty
killing herself. A curious paradox."
[2009-09-06 18:47:54] <GIRUGAMESH> "Yeah, yeah, emo-me-lonely. When you've
been immortal for as long as I have, whiny people who want to die start grating
on your nerves."
[2009-09-06 18:47:57] <@Alanna> "It's just nice to have the option."
[2009-09-06 18:48:00] * Aloysius sighs. "Well, Alyssa. What can you tell us
about this Reality Pulse, and your Mistress?"
[2009-09-06 18:48:09] <GIRUGAMESH> "Shut up. Enjoy it. You're cute and there's
lots of women around."
[2009-09-06 18:48:22] <GIRUGAMESH> *the crystal "blushes" a deep red*
[2009-09-06 18:48:30] <@Alanna> "Humans aren't meant to live this long."
[2009-09-06 18:48:50] <GIRUGAMESH> "Au contraire. What did you think I start
out as, a dog?"
[2009-09-06 18:48:58] <GIRUGAMESH> *started
[2009-09-06 18:49:15] <@Alanna> You're also dead. I presume the rules are
different for spirits and ghosts."
[2009-09-06 18:50:56] <PSS-001B> "Hmm... sorry to ask by Jerid wants to know
what is you matrix supposed to do or something"
[2009-09-06 18:51:03] * Jonah facepalms and wonders what Aickman would say
about this. He would give her that long-suffering look of his, wave his bloody
forceps at her and say, "Jonah m'dear, spirits are tricky. You're afraid
because you gotta learn when it's time to worry and when it's time to run..."
This seems a good time to run, she notes, sneakers sliding backwards on the
stone.
[2009-09-06 18:51:44] * Aloysius steps in Jonah's way. "Where are you going?"
[2009-09-06 18:53:25] <Jonah> "....nowhere?"
[2009-09-06 18:53:54] <Sophia> "Your stastical odds of surviving alone are
less than six percent." Sophia is still pouting. "Remain with us."
[2009-09-06 18:54:00] <Sophia> *statistical
[2009-09-06 18:54:29] <@Alanna> "Instructor Craft, were you not interrogating
the spirit crystal?" Alanna says, easily.
[2009-09-06 18:54:34] * Jonah twitches and lowers her head, but doesn't make
another move to leave. Aickman will just have to get mad at her in the next
lifetime...
[2009-09-06 18:54:36] * Aloysius grins. "Can't disagree with the odds. Say,
are you here alone, or were there others with you?"
[2009-09-06 18:55:02] <Jonah> "There... were. She's right sir... the crystal
demands your attention."
[2009-09-06 18:55:59] <PSS-001B> "So Alyssa, what does that matrix thing does?"
[2009-09-06 18:56:14] <@Alanna> "I find your sense of discretion admirable."
Alanna murmurs, for Jonah's ears only. "Most people lack sufficinet
precognition to recognize a quiescent danger."
[2009-09-06 18:56:17] * Aloysius nods. "Yeah, first things first." he walks
over to Lia and crouches down. "Lia, can you ask about this 'Mistress' and the
Reality Pulse as well?"
[2009-09-06 18:57:13] <GIRUGAMESH> "Well, Lia, you have two spell matrices as
that other dude, right? Count me as a third, except you can actually use me in
your pleasant, curvy, large-breasted form. Isn't that nice?"
[2009-09-06 18:57:17] <Jonah> "Recognize is relative.... usually in my line of
work we rush in headlong anyway." She glances at Alanna from the corner of one
eye. "And what about you... are you alone? Or did you...escape?"
[2009-09-06 18:57:54] <PSS-001B> "But what does that matrix does... summon? a
special power?"
[2009-09-06 18:57:55] <GIRUGAMESH> "And anyways, I don't know about the
Reality Pulse except that some guy put it up and Lady Kanako's helping him for
some reason. I haven't seen my Lady in weeks..."
[2009-09-06 18:58:14] <GIRUGAMESH> "...take off your shirt and I'll tell you."
[2009-09-06 18:58:19] <@Alanna> "Caught by surprise and eviscerated in the
initial attack." She shrugs, keeping her voice too low forthe others to hear.
"I only recovered a short while ago."
[2009-09-06 18:58:46] * Aloysius blinks. "A lesbian ghost. Now I've seen
everything." He mutters.
[2009-09-06 18:59:03] <PSS-001B> "But what is a Lady Kanako... can't really
take the shirt of, Jerid wouldn't be too pleased"
[2009-09-06 18:59:13] * Jonah barely stifles her urge to wince. "And your...
creator? Modifier?"
[2009-09-06 18:59:43] <@Alanna> "I'm almost entirely certain his long dead.
And, at the least, not in this plane of existence."
[2009-09-06 18:59:48] <GIRUGAMESH> "I can't tell you about Lady Kanako,"
Alyssa says, her voice echoing from the crystal, "I want the rest of your team
to die gruesome deaths fighting her."
[2009-09-06 19:00:06] <@Alanna> "Well, at least it's honest."
[2009-09-06 19:00:10] <GIRUGAMESH> "That won't happen too easily if I let you
know everything about her. But anyways..."
[2009-09-06 19:00:17] <Jonah> "Yeah, no kidding..."
[2009-09-06 19:00:35] <Sophia> "You have no conception of what a reality pulse
is?" asks Sophia, finally coming out of her funk.
[2009-09-06 19:01:03] <GIRUGAMESH> "...your shirt. In fact, you three other
idiots can take your shirts off, too. Then send the soldier away, or something."
[2009-09-06 19:01:15] * Aloysius wishes Alyssa had a body he could
'interrogate' more forcefully.
[2009-09-06 19:01:53] * Jonah cracks her knuckles, shouldering her necromancy
kit and stretching. "Hey, don't we need to keep moving?"
[2009-09-06 19:02:22] <GIRUGAMESH> "I'm insubstantial," Alyssa retorts, again
breaking the fourth wall through spontaneous GM-induced mind reading, "the
closest you'd come to interrogating me would be sticking your hands in my body."
[2009-09-06 19:02:30] <PSS-001B> "Can't we know something about Lady Kanako,
so it becomes like the knights in fairy tales that know they are going against
and undefeatable dragon or wizard"
[2009-09-06 19:02:39] <GIRUGAMESH> "Then the cold ectoplasm would give you
frostbite and your fingers will fall off."
[2009-09-06 19:02:58] <Jonah> "...cold ectoplasm?" Jonah's ears perk up. "How
could it be cold?"
[2009-09-06 19:03:18] * Aloysius starts and glares at the crystal. "Well, you
can read my mind, but not effectively."
[2009-09-06 19:03:21] <GIRUGAMESH> "I'm a ghost. Ghosts are cold. Ghosts are
made of ectoplasm. Do the math."
[2009-09-06 19:03:42] <Jonah> "Hmmf."
[2009-09-06 19:03:53] <@Alanna> "I'm not sure why you're bothering to question
her," Alanna says, in a more normal volume, "We have no way to confirm anything
she tells us. And anything she says is going to be a warped truth or a lie
designed to make us easier prey for this Lady Kanako.
[2009-09-06 19:04:04] <Sophia> "I have a proposal."
[2009-09-06 19:04:25] <GIRUGAMESH> "Anyways, Lia, if you put me between your
cleavage," Alyssa continues, "you'll be able to carry me easily, and I'd still
be able to see."
[2009-09-06 19:04:29] <Jonah> "And that would be...?
[2009-09-06 19:04:29] <GIRUGAMESH> "Isn't that nice?"
[2009-09-06 19:04:29] <Aloysius> "Can you give a proposal in a low volume?"
[2009-09-06 19:04:30] <Sophia> "We leave her here, since she is clearly an
recalcitrant child who cannot be relied upon."
[2009-09-06 19:04:43] * Jonah snickers.
[2009-09-06 19:04:50] <Jonah> "Seconded.'
[2009-09-06 19:04:57] <@Alanna> "And, what's more, a serious breach in
operational security." Alanna says ina low tone.
[2009-09-06 19:05:20] <GIRUGAMESH> "Or... I could just detonate my spiritual
core and kill you all."
[2009-09-06 19:05:24] <PSS-001B> "No! I don't want to leave her... besides
Jerid said he wanted to do something" Lia changes into Jerid
[2009-09-06 19:05:33] <GIRUGAMESH> "I'd reincarnate as another crystal,
anyways. Your loss."
[2009-09-06 19:05:47] <GIRUGAMESH> "Hey! Where did the breasts go? Mouuuu..."
[2009-09-06 19:05:55] <PSS-001B> Jerid returns to his examination of the crystal
[2009-09-06 19:05:56] * Alanna shrugs. "You wouldn't get Lia."
[2009-09-06 19:06:01] * Jonah sighs. "Damn..."
[2009-09-06 19:06:33] <PSS-001B> [Do I have to roll again?]
[2009-09-06 19:06:39] * Aloysius pinches the bridge of his nose. "Fucking
ghost is more trouble than she's worth." He growls under his breath.
[2009-09-06 19:06:44] <GIRUGAMESH> [No, Jerid passed his Mind Roll]
[2009-09-06 19:07:12] <GIRUGAMESH> "Oh, jeez, just examine me already so we
can go back to your tits. These other forms you have are really ugly, Lia..."
[2009-09-06 19:07:19] <GIRUGAMESH> Jerid sees...
[2009-09-06 19:07:58] <GIRUGAMESH> Netherworld Matrix (Weapon: Weeping Barrage
(Weapon lvl. 6, Insidious 5, Autofire 3, Range 2, Area 4, Deplete -4)
[2009-09-06 19:08:27] <GIRUGAMESH> Also, he gets an inkling that there is
perhaps something more to Alyssa's crystal than readily apparent. Perhaps a
chance to summon her back?
[2009-09-06 19:08:27] *** Brandon quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC

[2009-09-06 19:08:57] *** Rooster (47703238@widget.mibbit.com) joined
[2009-09-06 19:09:11] *** Rooster changed nick to Brandon
[2009-09-06 19:10:14] <GIRUGAMESH> "...well?"
[2009-09-06 19:10:22] <PSS-001B> "Examination ready. But I won't be changing
places with Lia anytime soon,I don't like how you talk to her"
[2009-09-06 19:10:36] <GIRUGAMESH> "Pft. You guys suck."
[2009-09-06 19:10:41] * Aloysius looks around, remembering why they came to
the library. "We need to keep searching for the Battalion."
[2009-09-06 19:10:58] <GIRUGAMESH> "Those dudes?
[2009-09-06 19:11:05] <Sophia> "Agreed. Let us no lose sight of our purpose."
[2009-09-06 19:11:06] <PSS-001B> "Right, forgot about that"
[2009-09-06 19:11:10] <Sophia> *not
[2009-09-06 19:11:17] <GIRUGAMESH> "The Reality Pulse caught most of them in
limbo, I think. Just like nearly everyone else."
[2009-09-06 19:11:24] <Jonah> "....So, go east?"
[2009-09-06 19:11:44] <GIRUGAMESH> "Those unlucky enough to stay in this world
probably got eaten already, or something."
[2009-09-06 19:12:01] * Aloysius pauses. "So they're....dead?"
[2009-09-06 19:12:25] * Jonah blinks at that, directions and floor plans [thus
far] leaving her mind. Everyone but them...?
[2009-09-06 19:12:27] <GIRUGAMESH> "I dunno. Probably. Might be a chance some
of them managed to survive like you did."
[2009-09-06 19:12:45] <Jonah> "How much of a chance... high? Low?"
[2009-09-06 19:13:06] * Alanna shrugs. "Minimal, would be my guess.
[2009-09-06 19:13:09] <GIRUGAMESH> "High," another voice grumbles in the
distance.
[2009-09-06 19:13:14] <PSS-001B> "A chance is good enough, we should keep
looking"
[2009-09-06 19:13:26] * Alanna looks towards the new voice.
[2009-09-06 19:13:37] <PSS-001B> Jerid turns to the new voice
[2009-09-06 19:13:59] <GIRUGAMESH>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_2kqPl9DIs&fmt=18 (Voile: Unthinkable Natural
Law)
[2009-09-06 19:14:06] * Aloysius snaps his rifle in the direction of the voice.
[2009-09-06 19:14:23] <Sophia> "Another one? This grows tiresome."
[2009-09-06 19:14:28] <GIRUGAMESH> From behind the destroyed ruins of a
bookshelf appear three figures, each dressed in long violet coats.
[2009-09-06 19:14:36] <GIRUGAMESH> Two men and a woman.
[2009-09-06 19:14:38] <GIRUGAMESH> Meet.
[2009-09-06 19:14:43] * Jonah turns as well, using the distraction to push
away any thoughts of Matt, Aickman, or Gibbs twisted and broken in the shadows.
Always a chance...
[2009-09-06 19:14:51] <@Alanna> "Easy, Instructor Croft. The implication is
tht they are survivors, not attackers."
[2009-09-06 19:15:00] <GIRUGAMESH> -Battalion Captain-
[2009-09-06 19:15:10] <GIRUGAMESH> AENEAS MAGEARM
[2009-09-06 19:15:18] <GIRUGAMESH> -Battalion Wizard-
[2009-09-06 19:15:34] <GIRUGAMESH> JULIUS BRUNESTUD
[2009-09-06 19:15:42] <GIRUGAMESH> -Battalion Specialist-
[2009-09-06 19:16:09] * Aloysius drops his rifle's aim. "Thank God." He
breaths, recognizing the uniforms. "Man, am I glad to see you!"
[2009-09-06 19:16:13] <GIRUGAMESH> GIOVANNA KIRISHIMA
[2009-09-06 19:16:27] <Aloysius> [Do I recognize any of the Battalion members?]
[2009-09-06 19:16:33] <PSS-001B> "Do you know them?"
[2009-09-06 19:18:12] <GIRUGAMESH> Aeneas steps forward. He is a tall, well-
built man with long black haired arranged in the traditional braid. He's
obviously seen some rough spots - a diagonal cut, still bleeding slight,
crosses his olive skinned face.
[2009-09-06 19:18:26] <GIRUGAMESH> His uniform, once pressed clean, is ripped
and dirty at places.
[2009-09-06 19:18:47] <GIRUGAMESH> Still, he seems completely self controlled
as he extends his hand in greeting.
[2009-09-06 19:18:53] <GIRUGAMESH> "Instructor Croft, I presume?"
[2009-09-06 19:19:27] <GIRUGAMESH> [Aloysius recognizes Aeneas - the guy leads
the section of the Battalion that guards the library. They've talked a few
times.]
[2009-09-06 19:20:29] <Aloysius> "Craft." He corrects, grasping the hand
warmly. "It's nice to see another familiar face." He looks at the other two.
"Are there anymore of you guys?" He asks, fearing the answer.
[2009-09-06 19:21:08] <GIRUGAMESH> [Both Julius, an orange-haired man with a
sad faced look on him, and Giovanna, a stoic blonde with her hair arranged in
the same braid as Aeneas, are unknown to him.]
[2009-09-06 19:21:51] <GIRUGAMESH> Aeneas shakes his head. "None that we've
met, at any rate. Who are these people. I do believe I've been treated by the
lady over there the one time I went to the medical wing, but I don't recognize
the rest."
[2009-09-06 19:22:22] <Sophia> Sophia raises her hand, wearily. "Sophia
Montressor, head nurse. I am far too depressed to rattle off the entire list."
[2009-09-06 19:22:43] <GIRUGAMESH> "Want a tissue?" Alyssa snaps sarcastically.
[2009-09-06 19:22:46] * Aloysius shakes his head. "Damn. Well these are other
survivors I've run into. Only Sophia is of teh Academy."
[2009-09-06 19:22:47] * Alanna smiles slightly at Aeneas and nods her head.
"I am winter born."
[2009-09-06 19:23:24] <PSS-001B> Jerid puts Alyssa away "I'm Jerid"
[2009-09-06 19:23:43] <GIRUGAMESH> "Poetic," Giovanna mutters behind Aeneas.
"At any rate, sir, we ought to get going."
[2009-09-06 19:24:06] <Aloysius> "Where are you guys headed?"
[2009-09-06 19:26:18] <GIRUGAMESH> "OI! I can't seee!"
[2009-09-06 19:26:52] <PSS-001B> "You won't be able to see until you behave"
[2009-09-06 19:27:42] <GIRUGAMESH> "I could detonate right now and take your
manhood with me, you imbecile. You don't want to negotiate with me."
[2009-09-06 19:28:06] <GIRUGAMESH> *Ahem*
[2009-09-06 19:28:20] * Jonah tenses to run before leaning over next to PSS-
001B. "Spoiled brat much?"
[2009-09-06 19:28:29] <Sophia> "And yet, I suspect you will do no such thing."
[2009-09-06 19:28:49] <GIRUGAMESH> Aeneas clears his throat. He and his
wizards seem thoroughly unfazed by Alyssa, almost as if they were familiar with
such antics.
[2009-09-06 19:28:59] <PSS-001B> whispers to Jonah "So it seems"
[2009-09-06 19:29:29] * Jonah smirks
[2009-09-06 19:29:52] <GIRUGAMESH> "We've been scouring Voil? for survivors,
but the Magic Library has so far yielded nothing. We've been thinking of
heading out to the medical wing."
[2009-09-06 19:30:23] <@Alanna> "More the merrier?"
[2009-09-06 19:30:29] <Sophia> "Ah, yes, I would also like to return to my
office."
[2009-09-06 19:30:35] <Aloysius> "Sorry sir. We just picked that 'crystal'
up." He nods. "Medical wing sounds like a good idea. Mind if we join you?"
[2009-09-06 19:30:45] <Sophia> "I seem to recall storing some restoratives
beneath my desk."
[2009-09-06 19:31:45] <GIRUGAMESH> "You've come up across some amusing company
indeed, Croft," Aeneas mutters with a smile. "Very well, Giovanna, Julius,
these people will follow us. Two of them are members of the Academy faculty, so
it's our duty to watch them as best we can."
[2009-09-06 19:31:49] <GIRUGAMESH> They start walking.
[2009-09-06 19:31:56] <Jonah> "Restoratives of the intravenous variety?"
[2009-09-06 19:32:14] <GIRUGAMESH> "And for the Lady's sake, Julius, put some
emotion into that face, you look like a zombie..."
[2009-09-06 19:32:17] <GIRUGAMESH> -SCENE SEGUE-
[2009-09-06 19:32:22] <Aloysius> "It's Craft." Mutters Aloysius, falling into
formation with them.
[2009-09-06 19:32:24] <Sophia> "Some, and some that are not."
[2009-09-06 19:32:28] <Sophia> "Mostly are."
[2009-09-06 19:32:32] * Alanna falls back to Jonah's position, and asks, in a
quiet tone, "What can you tell me about the effects of a Reality Pulse? don't
have the context..."
[2009-09-06 19:32:33] <GIRUGAMESH> -STAGE 2-
[2009-09-06 19:32:51] <GIRUGAMESH> [OY ASSHOLES. SCENE SEGUE. TRANSITION. TIME
HAS PASSED.]
[2009-09-06 19:33:06] * Jonah shakes her hea.d "I don't know. I came up here
to investigate some claims of paranormal activity with my team... we just got
here."
[2009-09-06 19:33:32] <GIRUGAMESH> -Lunatic Medical Wing-
[2009-09-06 19:34:26] <Sophia> Sophia does a little twirl. "Ah, my lovely
place of occupation! I adore it so!"
[2009-09-06 19:34:50] * Jonah chokes. It smells just like the mortuary...
[2009-09-06 19:34:58] <Aloysius> [Give us a scene so we can continue to argue
and bicker, ignoring all plot cues.

]
[2009-09-06 19:35:01] <GIRUGAMESH> As you enter the medical wing, you notice
that the entire place is trashed.
[2009-09-06 19:35:12] <Sophia> "MY OFFICE!"
[2009-09-06 19:35:17] <PSS-001B> Jerid tries, and fails to look calm when they
enter
[2009-09-06 19:35:20] <Sophia> "ZEY VILL PAY!"
[2009-09-06 19:35:22] <GIRUGAMESH> Hospital beds crashed into walls, blood
staining the floor...
[2009-09-06 19:35:31] <GIRUGAMESH> The whole place smells of death.
[2009-09-06 19:35:41] <GIRUGAMESH> You're also not yet near Sophia's office.
[2009-09-06 19:35:42] * Aloysius examines his surroundings with a critical
eye. "this place looks worse than after the Paper Clip/Rubber Band War." He
comments grimly.
[2009-09-06 19:35:46] <GIRUGAMESH> That's at the end of the corridor.
[2009-09-06 19:35:52] <Sophia> [Her place of work, I should say.]
[2009-09-06 19:37:20] <Jonah> "Not to mention the smell..."
[2009-09-06 19:37:49] <Sophia> "I just had it cleaned and buffed to the utmost
condition!"
[2009-09-06 19:38:06] * Alanna just shrugs, apparently slightly uncomfortable
with something.
[2009-09-06 19:38:13] <GIRUGAMESH> Aeneas brings a hand to his nose. "Quite
disgusting, though it doesn't quite rival the last time I was here... I do
believe you tried to insert a multi-purpose pocket knife implant into my hand,
Miss Montressor."
[2009-09-06 19:38:28] * Aloysius looks for any bodies, maybe even survivors.
[2009-09-06 19:39:02] <Sophia> "Indeed. But I removed it at your request, did
I not?"
[2009-09-06 19:39:04] <Sophia> "No harm done!"
[2009-09-06 19:39:17] * Jonah sighs. She's just like Aickman.

[2009-09-06 19:39:49] <GIRUGAMESH> As the party keeps bickering, Aeneas
suddenly tenses.
[2009-09-06 19:40:06] * Alanna starts looking around.
[2009-09-06 19:40:10] <GIRUGAMESH> Slowly, he turns around, hand pulling his
magic gun out of his coat.
[2009-09-06 19:40:14] <GIRUGAMESH> Giovanna does the same.
[2009-09-06 19:40:34] * Aloysius notices Aeneas pull his gun and raises his
rifle. "What is it?" He asks at a whisper.
[2009-09-06 19:40:39] <GIRUGAMESH> In the center of the room, Julius is
simply... standing there, doing nothing.
[2009-09-06 19:40:51] <PSS-001B> Jerid looks around searching for enemies
[2009-09-06 19:41:03] <GIRUGAMESH> His hands shake slightly, his eyes seem
shot with red veins.
[2009-09-06 19:41:10] <Sophia> Sophia glances behind her, face hardened in
malevolence. "I will autopsy the beings responsible for this disarray."
[2009-09-06 19:41:12] * Alanna sighs.
[2009-09-06 19:41:44] <GIRUGAMESH> "Julius? Is there something wrong?" Aeneas
points his gun at the wizard, "Answer me, man!"
[2009-09-06 19:41:45] <Jonah> "Be quiet please, ma'am."
[2009-09-06 19:41:46] <PSS-001B> "Is ,huh, that man in the center of the room
alright?"
[2009-09-06 19:42:02] * Alanna looks for cover.
[2009-09-06 19:42:20] <GIRUGAMESH> The wizard keeps shaking, and a sinister
scene begins to develop, as... *something* appears to be crawling under his
flesh.
[2009-09-06 19:42:28] <GIRUGAMESH> "GLEARGH."
[2009-09-06 19:42:33] * Aloysius raises his weapon at the wizard as well.
"What the hell is that!?"
[2009-09-06 19:42:38] <@Alanna> "I hate it when this happens."
[2009-09-06 19:43:01] <GIRUGAMESH>

[2009-09-06 19:43:24] <GIRUGAMESH> "GLEEEARGH....!" The wizard screams one
last time as the thing under his flesh bursts out, ripping from his body!
[2009-09-06 19:43:58] <GIRUGAMESH> The vile creature screams and shakes as
Aeneas and Giovanna unload on it, but their bullets appear to have no effect!
[2009-09-06 19:44:09] <GIRUGAMESH> "Lord above...!"
[2009-09-06 19:44:22] * Jonah winces. Of all her years as a necromancer, the
worst were the few when her threshold wasn't so high, and in truth, she never
got past a deep hatred of stuff like this. "Crap, wh-what is that?!"
[2009-09-06 19:44:33] <Sophia> [Out of the way, NPCs! This enemy requires plot
armor.]
[2009-09-06 19:44:51] <Sophia> "A parasitic-magical organisms that roosts in
the host-body to incubate. Fascinating!"
[2009-09-06 19:44:53] <@Alanna> "Bad news." Alnna says, taking what cover she
can.
[2009-09-06 19:44:59] * Aloysius steps back, away from the splatter. It's just
like being on the Terrica Front again. His weapon trains on the creature trying
to judge it.
[2009-09-06 19:44:59] <GIRUGAMESH> As if just to screw with Jonah more, a deep
screech issues from the other end of the corridor.
[2009-09-06 19:45:07] <GIRUGAMESH> Rushing towards your exposed backs are...
[2009-09-06 19:45:39] * Jonah whirls toward the sound, stifling the urge to
shut her eyes against it.

[2009-09-06 19:46:20] * Alanna sighs again. 'Guess I can't stay out of this
one,' she thinks.
[2009-09-06 19:46:25] <GIRUGAMESH> "Deal with the others," yells Aeneas,
"we'll take... what's left of Julius!"
[2009-09-06 19:46:43] <GIRUGAMESH> R-r-r-rooooll Initiative!

[2009-09-06 19:46:56] <Aloysius> "Yessir!" Aloysius says, turning on the new

Halibel Lecter · Sep 11, 2009

Glad to have you aboard, are you using those eyelids of yours at the moment?
And on another note, do we get a cool text-based thing or not?

Christopher Robin · Sep 13, 2009

To be honest, I have no idea what you just said.

Ray · Sep 13, 2009

Kill Shield (the one inside Rose's Power Flux). The day I let someone get away with having a DCV of 18 cows will fly and men will rain.

Also regarding your attributes outside Rose: you might want to consider siphoning a few points off somewhere to add Duration 3 to Rose's Power Flux. Otherwise, you have to wait a full minute (about 6 rounds, if memory doesn't fail me) to switch between spells, which is pretty much inviting death.

Kill a level in EA. I'm not letting anyone get more than 3 actions a round, either, unless you want boss-level mobs to become the norm.

I'd like to know where you got the Superstrenght stated in your damage multiplier, since your profile doesn't have it elsewhere (and there's really no reason for a 16-year-old mage to have it naturally without first needing to cast a spell).

Also, Rose's magic: every spell needs to have the Deplete defect. No exceptions. If it's not magic, but still uber-awesome, they might have Charges defect instead, your choice. Also:

Yeah right. At Weapon lvl. 12 that's easily Deplete -3 or -4, at least. Fortunately, you can use the points you'll get from killing that level of EA to pump an Energy Bonus attribute.

Read the bottom of the OP for the Weapon/Magic rules.

Finally,

I'm a laid-back guy. I'll allow most of everything. But if I find myself having to deal with a 16-year-old teenage sparklepire... well, you'll get to keep him. But beware: just as your assault on my mind will be brutal, so too will be my retribution once the time comes to put your character's combat survivability to the test.

All-around, though, good job. Just fix what I said and you're good to go.

Christopher Robin · Sep 13, 2009

No Shield at all, or did I just have too much of it?

Wait, okay, how does this work? I know the default Duration is already 3, how do you buy it down?

I forgot to delete a line from an older version where I had Superstrength, because when I was using Alternate Form.

Joke form the fact I originally intended to do a male Flandre.

Ray · Sep 13, 2009

Shield: the maximum ACV or DCV I allow is 12 (counting Accurate bonuses). Pick and choose how to get there.

Check the book, page 71:

So blowing 3 points on Duration would put it down to Duration 0, which means no time between flux switches.

Updated it. Can't use Google Docs at the moment, and I'm too lazy to convert it to plain text right now.

[17:15] <GIRUGAMESH> After the start of a seemingly hopelessly battle, and the grievious wounding of Aloysius, Sophia uses her extensive knowledge to allow the party to retreat through a secret exit into the surgical operations wing of the medical bay.
[17:16] <GIRUGAMESH> The party is being relentlessly pursued on all sides by zombies and Shahan. Meanwhile, the beast that spawned off NPC Julius' corpse slipped into the air ducts and is nowhere to be seen.
[17:17] <Sophia> "Ah, if only the headmaster could see us now! He did not believe it would be cost-effective to install a clandestine egress route!"
[17:17] <Jonah> "Kindly shut it."
[17:17] <GIRUGAMESH> You start in a destroyed operations room. The place is filled with destroyed hospital beds and life support systems. The lone corpse of a doctor is impaled to the wall by what appears to be a hail of metal needles.
06[17:17] * Aloysius stumbles along with the group, holding his bleeding wound, his face angry and pained.
[17:18] <GIRUGAMESH> In the corner, there is a lone magical computer, looking almost intact.
[17:18] <Sophia> I tend to Aloysius' injuries.
[17:18] <GIRUGAMESH> Aloysius is healed. In the background, you can hear the moaning sound of zombies and the roaring of Shahan.
[17:19] <GIRUGAMESH> You must flee! There is one exit out of the room that leads into an unexplored set of hallways. The computer also looks usable.
[17:19] <PSS-001B> Lia walks to the computer to check what is it there for
[17:19] <GIRUGAMESH> The computer is off, displaying no information. You'll have to turn it on and try to navigate the database.
[17:19] <Sophia> "Hey! That is my data processing unit!"
06[17:19] * Aloysius grunts a thanks and crouches, aiming at the doorway, ready for anything that might enter.
[17:19] <Sophia> Sophia guards her computer jealously.
06[17:20] * Jonah sighs, eyeing the entrance they just came through distrustfully. "...and what's to stop them from cornering us in here once they find us?"
[17:20] <GIRUGAMESH> It's a magical steampunk PC. It's glued to the ground and fed energy by a huge array of tubes.
[17:20] <PSS-001B> "Sorry, do you think you can use it to close some door or something behind us?"
[17:20] <Sophia> "I will see."
[17:20] <Sophia> Sophia boots that mother up.
[17:20] <GIRUGAMESH> The whole thing is bigger than a modern PC, and substantially less wieldy. There is no taking it out of the room.
[17:21] <GIRUGAMESH> The computer turns on.
[17:21] <GIRUGAMESH> "Access key?" it displays.
[17:21] <GIRUGAMESH> Sophia, roll Mind DC 16 to see if you can manage to crack it.
[17:21] <Sophia> 2d6+10
[17:21] <Asuka> Sophia, 2d6+10: 16 [2d6=5,1]
[17:21] <Sophia> \m/
[17:21] <Aloysius> [Nice]
[17:22] <GIRUGAMESH> Though the computer isn't hers, Sophia knows most of the access codes for the medical bay's database, and easily cracks the key.
[17:22] <GIRUGAMESH> The screen changes to display...
[17:22] <GIRUGAMESH> Wizardsoft Hogwarts 3.1
[17:22] <GIRUGAMESH> Press Start to access the menu.
[17:23] <Sophia> Press start.
[17:23] <GIRUGAMESH> Press Run to run an application.
06[17:23] * Aloysius attempts to move some of the beds and medical equipment into a makeshift barrier to give them cover should the zombies or the Shahan
[17:23] <GIRUGAMESH> - Access Control Panel - Access Hogwarts Explorer - Access My Networks
[17:23] <Aloysius> arrive.
06[17:23] * Jonah helps Aloysius since she has nothing better to do.
[17:23] <PSS-001B> "Let me help" Lia starts helping Aloysius
[17:24] <Sophia> Alright, I try to use the computer to seal the passage behind us.
[17:24] <GIRUGAMESH> ...computers aren't that advanced.
[17:25] <Sophia> Alright, in that case... I try to pull up a floorplan of the school.
[17:25] <GIRUGAMESH> It's the equivalent of a PC. It can handle part of the information database, but like hell it will run a security system.
[17:25] <GIRUGAMESH> Roll Mind DC 16.
00[17:25] <Ziann> GIRUGAMESH rolled Mind DC 16. --> error: malformed expression
[17:25] <Aloysius> [Heh. Two ladies, helping me make the beds move.

[17:25] <Sophia> 2d6+10
[17:25] <GIRUGAMESH> Gtfo, you loose bitch.
[17:25] <Asuka> Sophia, 2d6+10: 18 [2d6=2,6]
[17:25] <Sophia> \m/
[17:25] <GIRUGAMESH> Sophia accesses ZephyranAcademy.jpg!
[17:25] <Jonah> [Ow. Ow... Damn it, Al.]
[17:26] <GIRUGAMESH> Unfortunately, a good bit of the file seems corrupted. Some of it is still viewable, however...
[17:26] <GIRUGAMESH> [wtf, Jonah?]
[17:26] <Jonah> [Ohhh nothing.]
[17:28] <GIRUGAMESH> The Medical Bay has three areas. The Surgical Rooms (where you are), which are a network of hallways that hold surgery rooms and the Head Surgeon's office, the doctor's offices, and the equipment bay.
06[17:29] * Aloysius finishes making the makeshift barrier with the help of Jonah and Lia. He settles behind it, rifle aimed at the door. "How's the hacking coming, Sophia?" He asks over his shoulder.
[17:29] <Sophia> "I found a floorplan of the school. Most of it is corrupted, unfortuitously."
[17:29] <GIRUGAMESH> From the Medical Bay, particularly the Surgeon's office, one can access the Palamere Hall, which is the area used by the school for parties and large events.
[17:30] <GIRUGAMESH> RP your discoveries, yeesh.
[17:30] <Sophia> "From here, we can access Palamere Hall! You know of that, of course."
[17:30] <Sophia> [where does Palamere lead to?]
[17:31] <GIRUGAMESH> Corrupted.
06[17:32] * Jonah leans against the barricade, rubbing her forehead. This isn't good. By the time they're considering escape, the outlook is /never/ good...
[17:32] <Aloysius> "Hmm, Palamere Hall." Aloysius considers the advantages of heading to the hall. Maybe there are other survivors there.
[17:32] <Sophia> "That is the only direction in which we can proceed. Once we get their -- if my memory serves -- we could try to escape through the front door. Failing that, we could always double down into the catacombs."
[17:33] <GIRUGAMESH> As Sophia says this, the computer ominously crashes.
[17:33] <GIRUGAMESH> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_323DlA-W1c&fmt=18 Breach
06[17:33] * Aloysius turns to Sophia. "Is there any place to get some supplies. Additional equipment. Something but what we currently have on us?"
[17:33] <Sophia> "Windsoft is a truly terrible operating system. I always use Sorcerlux."
06[17:33] * Jonah is over at the edge of the group in a second, blinking. "Did you say...Catacombs? Real ones?"
[17:34] <Sophia> To Aloysius: "No, most of the details on the map were corrupted out."
[17:34] <PSS-001B> "Ca,catacombs? Aren't those places the last ones want to be when running from dsomthing?"
[17:34] <PSS-001B> *something
[17:34] <Aloysius> [There was an equipment room]
[17:34] <Sophia> To Jonah: "Indeed. There is an extensive net of catacombs beneath the city. They exit at literally hundreds of points outside."
[17:34] <GIRUGAMESH> "Oh, come on, catacombs aren't that bad," Alyssa mutters.
[17:35] <GIRUGAMESH> "I've been buried before! Hell, I'm buried right now. But it's between your tits, Lia, so it's awesome!"
[17:35] <Sophia> "Of course, the tunnels are a last resort."
[17:35] <GIRUGAMESH> The crystal flashes an unashamed red.
[17:35] <Jonah> "...and how many bodies, would you say, just...just ballpark?"
[17:35] <GIRUGAMESH> "Oh, around seven million are the more conservative estimates," Alyssa quips.
[17:35] <Sophia> Hmm... Sophia searches for chemicals and medical supplies in the operating theater.
[17:36] <GIRUGAMESH> The computer flashes back the Blue Screen of Death.
[17:36] <GIRUGAMESH> FATAL ERROR
[17:36] <GIRUGAMESH> Just as that shows up, the door shakes as a loud scream fills your ears!
06[17:36] * Jonah presses her shirttail to her mouth to avoid openly drooling. If only if only...
[17:36] <Jonah> "Gyaah, what the hell?!"
06[17:37] * Aloysius snaps his gaze to the door. "That doesn't sound good. We either fight or run."
[17:37] <GIRUGAMESH> The empty eye sockets of a Shahan meet Jonah from the door's window.
[17:38] <PSS-001B> Lia takes Blood Flower and prepares to fight
[17:38] <GIRUGAMESH> There is a cacophony of at least a dozen screams, and the door is banged on again and again! The Shahan beside the window stares at Jonah, licking the window as if trying to get at her face.
[17:38] <PSS-001B> "Huh, maybe we should run?"
[17:38] <Sophia> [so did I find anything or what?]
06[17:39] * Jonah twitches. "....eep."
06[17:39] * Aloysius quickly looks at the room, the door, their position, and the listens to the screams. "This place is not good for a fight. We need to go. Now."
[17:39] <GIRUGAMESH> "Uh, yeah, Lia, that sounded like there's more than a few," Alyssa mutters between Lia's cleavage, "I'd rather get at least one good chance to grope you when I reincarnate into a new ghost body, so we should probably..."
[17:39] <GIRUGAMESH> The door creaks under the strain.
[17:39] <GIRUGAMESH> "...run. Like, now."
[17:39] <Sophia> "GENTLEMEN." Sophia takes off down the hall. "LADIES."
[17:40] <PSS-001B> Lia runs behind Sophia
06[17:40] * Jonah tears her eyes away with a shudder, running after Sophia. What the hell was that thing...
[17:40] <GIRUGAMESH> The screams follow you as you run out into the hallway!
06[17:40] * Aloysius stands and takes trail position as the group follows Sophia.
[17:40] <GIRUGAMESH> There is a loud roar, and from a nearby room burst two Shahan!
[17:40] <GIRUGAMESH> [Shahan 1 (80 HP), Shahan 2 (80 HP).]

[17:41] <Jonah> "Damn it. Now what? We're trapped!"
06[17:41] * Aloysius swears, skidding to a halt and raising his weapon at the new opponents.
[17:42] <GIRUGAMESH> Just as Jonah says this, another group of monsters bursts out from behind you!
[17:42] <Sophia> Sophia wields her lancets. "Demons. I shall be curious to see their intestines."
[17:42] <GIRUGAMESH> [Shahan Impaler (80 HP), Zombie Nurse (105 HP)]
[17:42] <Sophia> [fml. Everyone, unload on the nurse.]
06[17:42] * Aloysius spins and faces the new group, seeing as he's in the back. He growls when he sees a creature similar to the one that stabbed him before.
[17:42] <GIRUGAMESH> *Nymphomaniacal Zombie Nurse
[17:43] <PSS-001B> "Surrounded... I don't like been surrounded"
[17:43] <GIRUGAMESH> The Nympho Nurse blows a kiss at Aloysius from her decomposing lips!

06[17:49] * Nello hears a lot of noise outside, and peeks through a door. "Ah. Not good." He bursts out the door and then realizes he's behind the Shahan and Nurse... seperate from the group. "Oops." [How's that?]

[17:54] <GIRUGAMESH> Begin!
06[17:54] * Aloysius scowls when he sees a new opponent behind the Impaler and the creepy zombie. "Fuck you Murphy. Fuck you." He mutters.
[17:55] <GIRUGAMESH> The Shahan Impaler rushes towards Aloysius, a screech issuing forth from its maw as its tongue sprays filth everywhere, bladed tail swishing through the air as its starsteel skeleton screeches with every move!
[17:55] <Aloysius> 2d6+11
[17:55] <Asuka> Aloysius, 2d6+11: 13 [2d6=1,1]
[17:55] <Aloysius> [Motherfucker]

[17:56] <GIRUGAMESH> Both critfails clash, and the Shahan misses!
[17:56] <GIRUGAMESH> [Totally for real]
[17:57] <Sophia> [that just blow my mind.]
[17:57] <Aloysius> [I'll take it!]
06[17:57] * Sophia bursts into laughter.

[17:59] <Aloysius> [Ah hell. Fuck you Murphy.]
[17:59] <GIRUGAMESH> Even through the small slash, the Impaler could still feed poison into Aloysius' flesh! Aloysius will take 1/5th weapon damage for the next three rounds! This effect doesn't stack!
[18:00] <GIRUGAMESH> 1/5th of the original 60 dmg = 12.
[18:00] <GIRUGAMESH> Aloysius takes 12 damage!
[18:00] <GIRUGAMESH> [Enemies: Shahan Impaler (80 HP), Zombie Nurse (105 HP), Shahan 1 (80 HP), Shahan 2 (80 HP).]

[18:01] <GIRUGAMESH> [I recommend switching. No point in wasting them]
[18:01] <Aloysius> [I reloaded regular rounds after the boss fight.]
[18:02] <Aloysius> [That clip was empty anyways.]
[18:02] <GIRUGAMESH> [Alright then]
[18:03] <Aloysius> Pissed at lossing the initiative in a second fight, Aloysius quickly raises his rifle and opens fire on the Nurse before she can make a move.
[18:03] <Aloysius> 2d6+13

[18:08] <Nello> "Wow, that's one tough janitor."

[18:28] <Jonah> "Damn it.... q-quit talking. If you're going to heal me then do it..." The shadows and monster in font of ehr blur, and she she grits her teeth audibly. Why, oh why, did she need to insult the team medic? The reason vanish under the pain and warm, quickly cooling blood soaking her jeans and spattering the floor, and she quickly loses her legs.

06[18:31] * Aloysius blinks as the claws sweep past his kevlar neck plate and tear through his neck. He gurgles and coughs out blood. The liquid stains his teeth.
[18:32] <GIRUGAMESH> [Init:[Aloysius, Lia, Sophia, Shahan 1, Shahan 2, Jonah, Nello]
[18:32] <Sophia> [just strike, they'll probably both be dead by the time my turn rolls around. If not, I'll heal you.]
[18:32] <GIRUGAMESH> Jonah's turn! She has 3 actions! Hang on, Jonah!
[18:32] <Aloysius> [Attack]
[18:32] <Sophia> [unload on that bastard]
[18:33] <Jonah> [A bit hard to do at the moment.]
[18:33] <GIRUGAMESH> [You can still move]
[18:33] <Aloysius> [No it's not. Just attack.]

06[18:34] * Jonah sfeels her strength returning a bit as the pain becomes a little more background noise. She can still fight, and she can still give them hell for this. She stands and draws her sword.
[18:34] <GIRUGAMESH> [FSN reference ahoy!]
[18:34] <Aloysius> [Yarr!!]
[18:34] <Jonah> "Now then..."
[18:34] <Sophia> "Onward, noble soldier! Strike them down, and maybe you will prove your adulthood to me!"
[18:34] <Aloysius> [*Snerk*]

06[18:38] * Aloysius slumps against the nearby wall, hand at his throat in a futile attempt to staunch the flow of blood. Even with the wound he watches the battle with alert eyes and maintains a firm grip on his rifle.

[18:43] <PSS-001B> [That's it, damage the other one]
[18:44] <Aloysius> [Hit the other one!!]
06[18:44] * Jonah turns to the other one, the end of the last stroke coming down in a sideways arc to flick the demon's blood from her blade. It gives a faint glow as if it's angry-- and a blessed blade it is, so maybe it is a little mad. She charges the second demon, pain all but gone in the adrenaline of the enemy bowing to one's weapons.

06[18:49] * Aloysius looks at the kid, wishing, in the back of his mind, that he hadn't recognized him and just shot him.
06[18:49] * Nello draws forth his wand with a flourish, pointing it at the Shahan dramaticly, cape blowing in the wind. "My darling Rose, would you please Shoot the Bullet?" Light forms at the tip of his wand, before blasting forth in a burst of magical bullets.

06[18:54] * Sophia claps.
06[18:55] * Aloysius turns to Sophia and points at the collapsed Jonah, indicating he should heal her first.
[18:55] <Aloysius> she should*
[18:55] <PSS-001B> Lia looks at the magic user "Sorry but, who are you?"
[18:55] <Sophia> I attend to Jonah's and Aloysius' injuries.
[18:56] <Nello> "Ho ho, do you not recognize me? I am Nello Crimson, student of this school."
[18:56] <GIRUGAMESH> "He doesn't have tits and speaks like a Frenchman," crystal!Alyssa mutters from her snug seat between Lia's breasts. "I say we shoot him."
06[18:56] * Aloysius coughs when his neck is healed. "He's right. I've seen the little brat around." He croaks.
[18:56] <Sophia> Do I recognize him?
06[18:57] * Jonah blinks, eyes clearing to see Sophia. "Grandma.... thanks... remind me to teach you necromancy someday." She stretches. "How can I help?"

[18:57] <Sophia> "Indeed, some adroit dodging would do well for our entire caravan. No?"
[18:58] <GIRUGAMESH> "It would," a voice rings out from the darkness.
[18:58] <Jonah> "Don't call me dear please. And, dodging is for sissies."
[18:58] <GIRUGAMESH> Quickly, Sophia, roll defense with a -3 surprise penalty!

[18:59] <Sophia> Sophia shrieks and stumbles back, clutching her neck.

[19:00] <Sophia> ...motherfucker.

06[19:03] * Aloysius takes in the new opponent.
[19:03] <GIRUGAMESH> From the ceiling falls, catlike, a tall, feminine figure.
[19:04] <PSS-001B> "Alyssa, that Weeping Barrage how do I do it!"
06[19:04] * Aloysius snaps his rifle up at the figure.
[19:04] <Aloysius> [Initiative, or can I engage?]
[19:05] <GIRUGAMESH> She possesses unearthly beauty of form, her one-piece dress hugging to a body most people would kill to touch. Her face holds an unearthly beauty, but her eyes are covered by a strange blindfold made of runic metal.
[19:05] <Sophia> [And now he's ripping off FSN.]
[19:05] <GIRUGAMESH> From her head fall long tresses of silky lavender hair, so long they reach her ankles.
[19:05] <Nello> [... you used Rider? ARGH.]
[19:05] <GIRUGAMESH> [I've been ripping off FSN since this RP started.

[19:08] <Aloysius> [*Bitchslap Jonah*]
[19:08] <Jonah> [*ducks counterstrike*]
[19:08] <GIRUGAMESH> The imposing woman circles the party like a cat that has a mouse at its mercy.
[19:08] <Jonah> [I dodge your pathetic slap.]
[19:10] <GIRUGAMESH> "I must admit," she says to the sound of chains as her steel boots clack against the floor, "that I'm not surprised that you've got here. You possess commendable tenacity, and I do suppose we've been going easy on you."
[19:10] <Aloysius> "We?"
[19:10] <GIRUGAMESH> "Easy?" Alyssa mutters from Lia's cleavage, "I wasn't easy!"
[19:10] <Sophia> "You were to be quite frank, somewhat easy."
[19:11] <GIRUGAMESH> "Gilgamesh does not work alone," Medusa replies, running a hand through her lavender hair, "he'd never manage it. And oh, is that you, Alyssa?"
[19:11] <Nello> "La, what a thing to say about a lady."
06[19:11] * Jonah groans. Damn it, out of the frying pan...
[19:12] <GIRUGAMESH> "It's me," the crystal shines blue from between Lia's cleavage, "I suppose you're the hired help."
06[19:12] * Aloysius tracks her every movement, his rifle aimed at her neck to teh recoil will bring the rounds up to the opponents face.
[19:12] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa licks her lips. "I'll be so delighted when I show you what Kanako has become."
[19:12] <GIRUGAMESH> The light from the crystal wavers. "...what?"
[19:13] <PSS-001B> Lia gets ready to fight
[19:13] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa ignores her, turning to look at the party. "A student, an incompetent necromancer, a shapeshifter that tries hopelessly to act human, a washed up old veteran, and an even more pathetic excuse for a medic."
[19:14] <GIRUGAMESH> "You'll be death before the next moonrise."
[19:14] <GIRUGAMESH> *dead
[19:14] <Sophia> Sophia stares back, defiant, even as she clutches her wounds.
[19:14] <Jonah> "Incompetent?! Why you little---"
06[19:14] * Aloysius grins. "I'm washed up because I waded ashore with the rest of the team at Cerentan."
[19:15] <Nello> "Ah, to be thought so little of by a maiden... I am in despair." Nello sighs deeply.
[19:15] <PSS-001B> "I'm not trying to act human. This is MY personality!"
[19:16] <GIRUGAMESH> "You're pretty," Medusa retorts, "ditch the accent and I might just consent to put you under my boot once or twice, if you get what I mean."
06[19:16] * Aloysius shifts so he his between the new opponent and the wounded Sophia.
06[19:17] * Jonah growls. She did /not/ go through all those years of training, flying under the radar, hopelessly watching her parents cast her away, for some second-rate hack of a judge to call her frikkin incompetent. Aickman never even stooped that low. Just as soon as she can get a second for her medic to heal Sophia, everything she has is going to that bitch's death.
[19:17] <Nello> "Oh dear, I fear you may be neither maiden nor proper lady... looks like I shall have to show you your place."
[19:17] <Sophia> "I will delight in autopsying your body."
[19:18] <GIRUGAMESH> "Shame," she mutters to Nello, "I have such a hard time finding men who like being dominated. Or women, for that matter. In fact, I often find that I have to force them..."
[19:19] <GIRUGAMESH> "But nevermind. You're the stereotypical rag-tag band of adventurers. I am your chosen opposition. You'll be surprised, however, that I am not easy prey!"

[19:32] <PSS-001B> "Ok" Lia points at Medusa "Break! Border of Life!"
[19:33] <GIRUGAMESH> Roll attack, Lia!

[19:33] <GIRUGAMESH> [Count the thing as having a +3 accurate whenever Lia's using it, to compensate for her lack of ranged attack]
[19:33] <GIRUGAMESH> [so it's +10]
[19:34] <GIRUGAMESH> [Jerid loses the bonus (assume it's powered by Alyssa's love for Lia's cleavage), but afaik he has Ranged Attack: Magic, so it's fine]

[19:36] <PSS-001B> "Ugg, it takes lots of energy"
[19:37] <GIRUGAMESH> The attack utterly destroys the area Medusa stood in, and nearly causes the woman to lose her balance, once or twice. In the end, however, she comes out unscathed, having dodged the attacks in a seamless display of acrobatics.
[19:38] <GIRUGAMESH> "I guess you really were easy, Alyssa," Medusa taunts, holding up one of the ends of her nail-chain.
[19:38] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa counterattacks!

[19:45] <GIRUGAMESH> Calc'ing...
[19:46] <GIRUGAMESH> 120 damage!
[19:46] <GIRUGAMESH> Thank god for armor...
[19:46] <Aloysius> [Do I have any shots left?]

[19:47] <Nello> [Magic armor.]
[19:47] <GIRUGAMESH> [Superhumanly tough skin. This isn't an average chick.]
[19:47] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa lands, clutching at her wounds, bare skin showing from the ripped holes in her dress.
[19:47] <GIRUGAMESH> "Couldn't even manage to kill me," she mutters, "pathetic."
[19:47] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa counterstrikes!

[19:50] <Aloysius> [I can still shoot from the flooooor!]
[19:50] <GIRUGAMESH> Aloysius is unconscious! He loses his actions for this round and will lose the next round if somebody doesn't heal him!

[19:51] <Sophia> [please, autofire this bitch.]
[19:51] <GIRUGAMESH> "Oh my, the french exchange student is up next," Medusa mutters, "you'd have made for such a good little bitch, too. I must sigh."
[19:52] <Nello> Nello eyes the fallen Aloysius for a moment before facing Medusa and finally speaking normally. "Tch. Looks like I'll have to be serious. I'll turn you into dust, maggot."
[19:52] <Sophia> brb, roll defense for me. If my turn comes around, health spray for me]
[19:52] <GIRUGAMESH> "Not before I turn you to stone."
[19:53] <Nello> Nello points his wand at Medusa and it glows blue. "Rose, put this trash on ice... Perfect Freeze!" An icy blast of energy flies forth.
[19:53] <Nello> 2d6+10
[19:53] <Asuka> Nello, 2d6+10: 20 [2d6=6,4]
[19:53] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa smiles.

[19:56] <Asuka> Nello, 2d6+9: 17 [2d6=2,6]
[19:56] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa's acrobatic dodging, already superhuman before, turns insane as she becomes a blur, literally dancing around the attack at speeds faster than sound.
[19:57] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa lands with a smug smirk on her face. "You're going to need more strenght for that, frenchboy."
[19:57] <GIRUGAMESH> Calc'ing Nello's EP loss.
[19:58] <GIRUGAMESH> Nello is at 110 EP.
[19:58] <GIRUGAMESH> (There is no way the Deplete costs are right on that for the damage you deal. Up them.]
[19:59] <GIRUGAMESH> Nello has two actions left!
[19:59] <Sophia> [Back.]
[19:59] <Nello> [What? It's Level 6, right above frickin' mudane swords. And that should be like a -2?]
[20:00] <GIRUGAMESH> [It's not just the Weapon lvl. You have to include Autofire and Accurate. I'd say -2 for Freeze and -3 for Shoot the Bullet]
[20:01] <Nello> [That throws my costs all the hell off. That's a hell of thing to bring up mid-game.]
[20:01] <GIRUGAMESH> [Don't do it now.]
[20:01] <GIRUGAMESH> [I'll let you get away with it for this session.]
[20:01] <Nello> [Eh, alright.]
[20:02] <GIRUGAMESH> Anyways, Nello has two actions left!
[20:02] <Nello> Nello scowls and points his wand again. "You're annoying... hold still!" He fires off another frozen blast.
[20:02] <Nello> 2d6+10
[20:02] <Asuka> Nello, 2d6+10: 19 [2d6=6,3]

[20:03] <Asuka> GIRUGAMESH, 2d6+13: 21 [2d6=5,3]
[20:03] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa weaves around the attack.
[20:03] <Nello> "I'm not French, dipstick. It's called f-a-k-i-n-g, you should be familiar with it."
[20:03] <GIRUGAMESH> "You're starting to become less interesting by the second. I guess I'll turn you into a statue first..."
06[20:04] * Aloysius is unconcious and unconciously bleeds on the floor.
[20:04] <Nello> [Don't look at me, I ain't the healer.]
[20:04] <Sophia> [Don't look at me, it's not my turn.]
[20:04] <Jonah> [Not my turn.]
[20:05] <PSS-001B> [Nor mine]
[20:05] <GIRUGAMESH> Nello has one action left!
[20:05] <Aloysius> [Jeez, I was just RPing. Not much I /can/ do besides bleed unconciously.]
06[20:05] * Nello gather magic at the tip of La Vie en Rose. "Alright, let's try something else then... Rose, Master Spark!" He unleashes a beam of rainbow colored energy at Medusa.
[20:05] <Nello> 2d6+10
[20:05] <Asuka> Nello, 2d6+10: 21 [2d6=6,5]

[20:06] <GIRUGAMESH> "Oh my."
[20:06] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa is overwhelmed by the Master Spark! Calc'ing damage...
[20:07] <GIRUGAMESH> 40 damage!
[20:08] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa is at 50 HP!
[20:08] <GIRUGAMESH> SPELLCARD THRESHOLD!
[20:08] <Sophia> [Nice one.]
[20:10] <Aloysius> [Wait....she started with 250. I dealt 120. He did 40. She should have 90 left!]
[20:11] <GIRUGAMESH> [Sum'va bitch, you're right, I calc'ed it with the full damage without reducing armor. Anyways, her threshold was 100 HP so you're fucked anyways.]
[20:11] <Aloysius> [Oh, Lia did 36 as well.]
[20:11] <Aloysius> [So she's at 54]
[20:11] <GIRUGAMESH> [Lia never hit her, afaik]
[20:11] <Jonah> [I'll be back in a second, sorry!]
[20:12] <GIRUGAMESH> http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=JP&hl=ja&v...ECVO91sw&fmt=18 Night Falls - Evening Star
[20:12] <PSS-001B> [true, I missed]
[20:12] <Aloysius> [Oh. Oops, wrong person being damaged.]
[20:12] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa's smirk widens as she steps out of the Master Spark's destruction.
[20:13] <GIRUGAMESH> She has taken heavy damage, her dress is ripped in several places, showing that she really wore nothing underneath. She looks, however, superbly confident.
[20:13] <GIRUGAMESH> "You should've killed me with that blow," she mutters. Now there's nothing keeping me from turning you to stone!"
[20:14] <GIRUGAMESH> FIRST SPELLCARD
[20:14] <Nello> Nello mutters, "Well, that didn't work the way I hoped".
[20:14] <GIRUGAMESH> Mystic Eyes ~ And So Was Felled the Flower
[20:15] <GIRUGAMESH> With a grunt, Medusa cleaves a nail into her stomach! Blood flows forth, and she smears her hand with it before bringing it up to her blindfold and charging forwards at Nello!
[20:15] <GIRUGAMESH> She sweeps through the distance between them at superhuman speed, and with a smile on her beautiful face, uses her blood-smeared hand to remove the blinfold!
[20:16] <GIRUGAMESH> Her eyes are a strange, mystic purple, her pupils square like nothing a human has ever seen. Nello finds himself suddenly cold, freezingly so, cold, unmoving... he's being turned to stone!
[20:16] <GIRUGAMESH> Alright Nello, roll Body + Resistance level, DC 20.
[20:17] <Nello> 2d6+8
[20:17] <Asuka> Nello, 2d6+8: 13 [2d6=3,2]
[20:17] <GIRUGAMESH> Nello is turned to stone this round and the next!
[20:17] <Nello> [Ugh, crap.]
[20:17] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa brings her nail forward to finish it!
[20:18] <GIRUGAMESH> Nello, roll Soul, DC 20, to see if your inner strenght can keep the stone together against the blow.
[20:18] <Nello> 2d6+12
[20:18] <Asuka> Nello, 2d6+12: 19 [2d6=5,2]
[20:18] <Aloysius> [Ouch]
[20:18] <Nello> [ARGH.]
[20:19] <PSS-001B> [Not good]
[20:19] <GIRUGAMESH> [Just one... >_<]
[20:19] <GIRUGAMESH> The nail cleaves into the stone, decapitating Nello's statue!
[20:20] <Nello> [Well, I didn't last very long.]
[20:20] <Sophia> [Eh, I can probably bring you back.]
[20:20] <GIRUGAMESH> His body returns to flesh in a shower of blood falling to its knees as Nello's head, still bearing an expression of hideous surprise, rolls to Medusa's feet!
[20:20] <Jonah> [Don't worry, you cna come back.]
[20:20] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa grabs Nello's head by the hair, then brutally slams her nail against both eyes before licking the blood that bursts for.
[20:21] <Aloysius> [Tasty.]
[20:21] <Sophia> [Omm nom nom.]
[20:21] <GIRUGAMESH> "Delicious," she mutters, putting her blindfold back on and throwing the head away.
[20:21] <GIRUGAMESH> Nello has fallen!
[20:21] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa has lost 50 HP from using her spell!
[20:22] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa is at 40 HP!
[20:22] <Aloysius> [Dammit, shouldn't have corrected him.]
[20:22] <GIRUGAMESH> Initiative Order: Medusa, Lia, Aloysius, Nello, Jonah, Sophia
[20:22] <GIRUGAMESH> Jonah's turn! You have three actions!
[20:22] <GIRUGAMESH> (And 18 HP, watch it.)
[20:22] <Sophia> [For the love of god, don't set off another spell card.]
[20:23] <Sophia> [Maybe you should reserve your actions now, so I can heal everyone. Then, you can counterstrike with full health.]
[20:23] <Jonah> [Now I know we had this discussion, but, one action to summon the medic and it heals them without taking up another. Correct? And Spohia: I can heal as well, grandma.]
[20:23] <Aloysius> [That seems like a good plan.]
[20:24] <Sophia> [I think it would take two actions to summon then heal.]
[20:24] <Sophia> [I dunno. Ray?]
[20:24] <Aloysius> [The summon has it's own actions i thought.]
[20:24] <PSS-001B> [I believe it takes two as well]
[20:24] <GIRUGAMESH> [Summon has its own action. Jonah only needs to summon it.]
[20:24] <Jonah> [Good.]
[20:24] <Sophia> [OK, I guess. Go ahead.]
[20:25] <GIRUGAMESH> [Healing lvl. 7 can restore someone who was cut in two. Nello was decapitated and then stabbed through the head, which is a tad harder, I think. You can bring him back, but at 35 HP]
[20:26] <Sophia> [Which is a good reason to let me do it.]
[20:26] <Sophia> [Seriously, reserve your actions, let me Health Spray+Heal Nello, and then you can attack.]
[20:27] <GIRUGAMESH> [I should've reserved a counterattack.]
[20:27] <Aloysius> [We need to be fit to fight if we trigger another spell card.]
06[20:27] * Jonah presses her hand to the ground and one of her bound spirits rises from the floor. The healer gives ehr a disapproving glare for binding it to its body but hands rough with Aramaic runes close over first her stomach then the wounds in Sohpia's flesh. "There."
[20:27] <Jonah> [Fine, but you need strength to heal him, ne?]
[20:27] <Sophia> [Not really?]
[20:27] <Sophia> [Health Spray would put us all in good condition.]
[20:27] <Jonah> [No? Odd that. How much am I down?]
[20:28] <GIRUGAMESH> [The current spellcard will keep triggering on Medusa's turn until the next threshold. The next will trigger when she "dies" for the first time. Careful.]
[20:28] <GIRUGAMESH> [You're at 18 HP, Jonah.]
[20:28] <Jonah> [But if it healed both of us?]
[20:28] <Aloysius> [It only has one action.]
[20:28] <Jonah> [F---]
[20:29] <Sophia> [Just res Nello and I'll spray next turn. Go go go.]
[20:29] <Jonah> [Fine.]
[20:29] <Jonah> Heal Nello back to full.
[20:30] <GIRUGAMESH> The spirit appears, using up one of Jonah's actions, then uses up its own action to crudely reattach Nello's head!
[20:30] <GIRUGAMESH> Nello is back! At 35 EP and 40 EP!
[20:30] <Jonah> [Crudely?!]
[20:30] <GIRUGAMESH> "Amusing."
[20:30] <Sophia> "Oh, confounded ghost! I will need to do this properly."
[20:30] <Nello> "Argh... that maggot..."
[20:30] <Sophia> "Never trust a spirit to do a surgeon's job!"
[20:30] <Jonah> "Bah."
[20:32] <GIRUGAMESH> Jonah has two actions left.
[20:32] <Sophia> [now start slashing!]
[20:33] <PSS-001B> [Yes, take her down!]
06[20:33] * Jonah rushes forward, blade flashing for Medusa's throat.

[20:35] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa dodges again, taking the opportunity to pat Jonah's ass as she draws back.
[20:35] <GIRUGAMESH> "Dealing with imbeciles is so boring."
06[20:36] * Jonah turns pink, glaring. "Why you little---!"
[20:36] <GIRUGAMESH> "Me little what? Finish your sentences," Medusa taunt, "or are you so ignorant you can't even manage that?"
[20:36] <GIRUGAMESH> *taunts

[20:37] <Sophia> Restoration of All Flesh!

[20:41] <Sophia> [So Nello's going next? Or Medusa?]
[20:42] <GIRUGAMESH> [No, Medusa. That's the init for the next round. Nello already went this round]
[20:42] <Sophia> [OK. Hmm...]
[20:42] <Sophia> Extra Actions on Aloysius.
[20:42] <GIRUGAMESH> Nello, you just got decapitated and then brought back from the dead. RP a bit, why dont'cha.
[20:42] <GIRUGAMESH> Aloysius gains a level of Extra Actions!

[20:43] <Sophia> [You've got to be shitting me.]
[20:43] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa dodges both attacks!
[20:43] <Nello> [Oh, sorry, wrong window.]
[20:44] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa smiles.
[20:44] <GIRUGAMESH> "You really should've used the time you had to kill me."
[20:44] <Nello> Nello groans a bit and rubs his neck. "That maggot is a real pain... and she talks too much."
[20:44] <GIRUGAMESH> She brings one of her nails to her abdomen again.
[20:44] <GIRUGAMESH> "Too bad for you."
[20:44] <GIRUGAMESH> FIRST SPELLCARD
[20:44] <Sophia> "The spirit put it on slightly askew. Remind me to correct that later."

[20:45] <Jonah> "I didn't see you suturing, Grandma."
[20:45] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa stabs herself in the stomach!
[20:45] <GIRUGAMESH> Blood flows forth, which she smears on her hand before rushing towards Aloysius!
[20:45] <Sophia> "I had business to attend to. And, for the record, I am still at the nubile age of 31."
[20:45] <Jonah> "That's old."
[20:45] <Nello> "Look at!"
06[20:45] * Aloysius blinks and swears.
[20:45] <PSS-001B> "Those eyes again?"
[20:45] <Nello> out*
[20:45] <Aloysius> 2d6+11
[20:46] <Asuka> Aloysius, 2d6+11: 22 [2d6=6,5]
[20:46] <GIRUGAMESH> [There's no defending from a look, Aloysius]
[20:46] <GIRUGAMESH> Aloysius barely has time to blink before his eyes meet Medusa's deathly gaze!
[20:46] <GIRUGAMESH> Roll Body + level of Resistance, Aloysius, DC 20!
00[20:46] <Ziann> GIRUGAMESH rolled Body + level of Resistance, Aloysius, DC 20! --> error: malformed expression
[20:47] <Aloysius> [Mind shield does nothing?]
[20:47] <GIRUGAMESH> [No.]
[20:47] <Aloysius> [Fuck, then I need a goddamned perfect roll. Again.]
[20:47] <Aloysius> 2d6+6
[20:47] <Asuka> Aloysius, 2d6+6: 13 [2d6=2,5]
[20:48] <Aloysius> [Actually perfect wouldn't have helped.]
[20:48] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa smirks as Aloysius is turned into a statue, then brings her nail down!
[20:49] <PSS-001B> Lia tries to get i the way
[20:49] <PSS-001B> *in
[20:49] <GIRUGAMESH> Aloysius, roll Soul, DC 20!
[20:49] <GIRUGAMESH> Alright then.
[20:49] <GIRUGAMESH> 2d6+13
[20:49] <Asuka> GIRUGAMESH, 2d6+13: 19 [2d6=1,5]
[20:49] <GIRUGAMESH> Roll defense, Lia!

[20:49] <PSS-001B> 2d6+11
[20:49] <Asuka> PSS-001B, 2d6+11: 20 [2d6=3,6]
[20:49] <Aloysius> [I can't make that even if I tried and you fucking know it.]
[20:49] <GIRUGAMESH> [That's why the card only hits one member of the party at a time.]
[20:50] <GIRUGAMESH> Lia takes the hit for Aloysius!
[20:50] <GIRUGAMESH> 72 damage!
[20:50] <GIRUGAMESH> Alyssa screams as the nail slams right into Lia's throat!
[20:50] <GIRUGAMESH> Lia has fallen!
[20:50] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa is at 0 HP!
[20:50] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa has used up her first lifebar!
[20:51] <PSS-001B> [72 damage from a nail!]
[20:51] <GIRUGAMESH> SPELLCARD THRESHOLD!
[20:51] <GIRUGAMESH> [By "nail", I mean "huge pointy metal spike".]
[20:52] <PSS-001B> [ok then]
[20:52] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa's wounds begin to regenerate as she pulls back, putting her blindfold back on.
[20:52] <GIRUGAMESH> Boss Lifebar 2: 250 HP
[20:52] <Nello> [Oh yeah, this sucks.]
[20:52] <GIRUGAMESH> "You really are pathetic," Medusa mutters. "I wonder, should I kill you now, or wait until later?"
[20:53] <Jonah> [Guys, how long are we going?]
[20:53] <GIRUGAMESH> [this session is almost over. I'm just deciding whether Medusa pulls back or stays so you can keep fighting her next sunday]
[20:53] <Sophia> [/votes for pull back.]
[20:53] <PSS-001B> [likewise]
[20:53] <Aloysius> [I vote for a pull back]
[20:53] <GIRUGAMESH> "On the one hand, if I leave now, anticipation is the best condiment. On the other, I don't like to leave a meal unifinished."
[20:54] <GIRUGAMESH> [This isn't a democracy.

[20:54] <Jonah> [Me too...]
[20:54] <Alanna> "...And in the fury of this darkest hour..."
[20:54] <Jonah> [...damn it.]
[20:54] <GIRUGAMESH> "Yes, I suppose you aren't so lucky."
[20:54] <GIRUGAMESH> Medusa brings her nail to her wrist!
[20:54] <GIRUGAMESH> SECOND SPELLCARD
[20:54] <Alanna> "...I will be your light..."
[20:54] <GIRUGAMESH> [Cliffhanger ending!]
