Sark: "Ugh, my torso." dreyrugr: Just so I have it in the logs. 18:11 Slim_Bankshot You open your eyes slowly and what looks like glass slides down past them with a steamlike hiss 18:11 Igfig oh, right 18:11 Slim_Bankshot You are lying on a white mattress thing in what seems like a small pod Slim_Bankshot: And while you can move, you feel as if you have been asleep for days Sark: "Wait, where in the hell?" Slim_Bankshot: What the hell was that? Slim_Bankshot: Oh. Sark: Dialogue? Slim_Bankshot: OK. Slim_Bankshot: No dialog yet. As you sit up, you see other, identicle pods containing each of your bandmates Sark: Oh, alright Slim_Bankshot: None seem to be in any pain or danger, all are sleeping peacefuly Slim_Bankshot: Wilco is snoring Slim_Bankshot: There are two doors in the room, they are white like the rest of it Slim_Bankshot: The only way you can tell they are doors is by the creases at the top and bottom of them monoxx: Someone give me a link to the map-OOC thing please Sark: http://astro.uwaterloo.ca/~igfich/pwotdnd/ monoxx: Danke Slim_Bankshot: So, how do you react to your situation, sark? Sark: Stark incredulism Slim_Bankshot: Uhh... Sark: I don't believe this shit Slim_Bankshot: Oh. Sark: Dialogue now? Slim_Bankshot: At the end of each of the pods, there is a small tablet with strange blinking lights and moving lines Sark: NM Slim_Bankshot: (Remember, you've never seen this shit before. It's all way weird) Slim_Bankshot: Are you gonna try and wake up your bandmates or anything? Igfig: fuck it Igfig: you hear a hissing noise from a nearby pod Sark: I pound on the pod and shout Slim_Bankshot: The cover slides away and Drey sits up slowly dreyrugr: "What in the goddamn fuck?" Sark: "Drey? Can you hear me?" Igfig: more hisses from pods down the line Slim_Bankshot: One after the other, the rest of the pods begin to open. dreyrugr: "Yes. Let's leave before wilco get's up" Wilco: I get up Heronius: I glance around. Wilco: "Dick" Slim_Bankshot: Wait Wilco Slim_Bankshot: When it reaches Wilco, a calm female voice is heard: "Extended sleep protocals initiated. Subject to remain in hibernation." Sark: hahaha Wilco: ... why Slim_Bankshot: Kidding Wilco: okay Wilco: Good thing I'm out of the pod Igfig: when you're all awake, the pods snap shut agaon Igfig: again Igfig: and seem to melt back into the floor and wall Slim_Bankshot: Once you are all grouped in the middle of the room, part of the wall moves away, dreyrugr: "WHAT IS THIS WIZARDRY?" Slim_Bankshot: revealing the vast emptyness that is space Sark: "...In the fuck?" Slim_Bankshot: A place previously only seen when you looked up at the night sky Slim_Bankshot: Also, you are all wearing like, plain white pajamas Brigsby: "I don't remember the sky having so many rocks." Heronius: "Where are my robes?" Igfig: you appear to be skirting along the edge of a field of huge tumbling rocks dreyrugr: "White does not suit me at all" Slim_Bankshot: "Your robes are here!" Calls a strange voice Heronius: "!?" Slim_Bankshot: The doors hiss open revealing several tall figures. Slim_Bankshot: The figure holds up a hand and you are thrown back with the group Slim_Bankshot: "Cautionary protocals initiated" Says the female voice Igfig: more of the horrible, terrifying spiny figures from earlier Heronius: "I don't recognize these spells." Slim_Bankshot: A tall clear hexagon comes down around all of you Slim_Bankshot: And the figures move forward Slim_Bankshot: The one holding your clothes opens his mouth to speak. Chesty: Holy shit I was drunk. Hey guys, what happened? Chesty: Holy shit, WHAT IS THAT?! Gratch: "Hello, warriors." Heronius: "Hello." Sark: "You speak Common?" Wilco: "uhh... hi" Lucas_Strongbow: "Or Elvish?" Wilco: "Yeah how do you speak our language?" dreyrugr: I say in draconic "What do you want?" Gratch_Leader: His voice sounds both distant in near, as if it was shouted softly Heronius: "I have been many places in the astral plane, but I have never seen creatrues like you before. Chesty: "Holy fuck" Gratch_Leader: "We are the Gratch" Wilco: "We are THE SHETLAND FIRESTORRMMMM" Gratch_Leader: "We heard of you from some fire elementals on the planet sweden" Sark: "That is not a race I am familiar of." Sark: "Shut it, Wil." Chesty: "Guy where the fuck did you take me?" Gratch_Leader: "We require your great power. Your great power... OF ROCK!" dreyrugr: "Do you have any beer?" Chesty: "And their pony?" Heronius: I see. Gratch_Leader: "Our world is under siege," Heronius: hmmm. Gratch_Leader: "A evil power has marked those who rock as traitors and they are executed Chesty: "Man guys seriously is this some elaborate joke or something? How long did I faint for?" Gratch_Leader: "We require the aid of such powerful rockers to restore our home to it's former glory." dreyrugr: "Am I drunk still?" Sark: "This has taken a turn for the abnormal." Wilco: "You've come to the right people" Heronius: "How long do you think that will take? Gratch_Leader: "Please, will you help us save our home!" Igfig: "This is no joke and you are not drunk," the larger of the figures behind the leader says. Heronius: "Quiet you lot, I am doing calculations." Chesty: "Oh boy" Lucas_Strongbow: What's the pay? dreyrugr: "Can I have some beer then?" Heronius: "So that is, one planet to save, hostile environment, hazard pay, and sustenance, plus multiple concerts." Gratch_Leader: "We witnessed your abilities at the Battle of the Bands on your homeworld." Heronius: The fee will be... Gratch_Leader: "You are the only ones who can save us!" Heronius: 150,000 gold pieces, plus meals. Fortuna: Heronius, gold pieces, plus meals.: [] = (150, 0) Heronius: Shut up Fortuna Igfig: oops Igfig: the smaller, greener one goes to one of the bright panels on the wall, and starts doing something with it Chesty: "Wait, didnt you guys tank the battle?" Brigsby: "Hero, the fee will probably be 'Do it or we throw you out the window.'" Chesty: "DONT GIVE THEM ANY IDEAS" Gratch_Leader: The leader pauses Gratch_Leader: "Yes, 150,000 it is." Heronius: Good. Heronius: Then we have a deal. Chesty: "You guys knew that by oath I am bound to help you, right?" Heronius: "Everyone, meet our new clients" Brigsby: "Jeez, they accepted that pretty quick. They were probably originally going to make us princes of the planet or something." Gratch_Leader: "So you will help save us?" Igfig: The female voice sounds again: "Cautionary protocols relaxed" Heronius: Clents, we are Shetland Firestorm. Wilco: "Yes" Brigsby: "Thanks a lot, Heronius." Far-Walker: Far's finally calmed down enough to stop talking solely in Thri-Kreen. Heronius: We are at your service dreyrugr: "We'll totally help" Far-Walker: "There is no answer but yes." Heronius: I have no use for royalty. Chesty: "I had no plans anyway" Gratch_Leader: "Very well." Igfig: and the clear hexagon rises back into the ceiling Gratch_Leader: The clear sheild lifts, and your clothes are returned Wilco: "So can we have our clothes back?" Chesty: "What the fuck? Im naked!" Wilco: "You should be used to waking up naked by now!" Chesty: "Yeah but there's no puke anywhere" Igfig: the other one comes back, with a large plate covered with what appear to be some kind of foamy beverage, in silver open-topped cans Wilco: "True" Chesty: "BEER!" dreyrugr: "GIMMIE! Chesty: "MOVE IT, PRINCESS" Heronius: You will have to excuse them dreyrugr: "SHUT UP I'M GOING TO GET DRUNK Heronius: They are fond of alcohol Slim_Bankshot: "Please enjoy this sustaining beverage. It tastes like that which you desire." Sark: "None for me." Igfig: "Come, let us continue this in the hydration lounge." Heronius: Indeed Chesty: Holy shit you guys have a bar? Chesty: Dudes this is the best quest Ive been on. Igfig: the hydration lounge is the next room over Igfig: one wall is all window, looking out onto the asteroids Chesty: "Astero..." Chesty: "Holy FUCK" Igfig: the room itself is also stark white--you think they just like the colour-- Igfig: but furnished with a number of comfortable-looking, if overly-tall, backless stools and benches Brigsby: "How did they get those rocks to float?" Igfig: the tall, greyish one says Chesty: "amateur" Slim_Bankshot: A tiny device decends from the ceiling and cleans the vomit off of Wilco Wilco: "I like this place" Sark: "These things. They don't seem to be powered by any arcane arts." Heronius: "So what edtails can you give us about your planet and what we have to do. Heronius: details* Sark: "They just seem to exist." Slim_Bankshot: "Some time ago, a man came to power." Slim_Bankshot: "It wasn't until he had power that wer found out he hated rock." Igfig: crap, brb Slim_Bankshot: "Loathed it, even." dreyrugr: "Reminds me of a certain bar owner." Slim_Bankshot: "He forced it from our lives with threats of violence and imprisonment." Lucas_Strongbow: Lucas_Strongbow/ helps Brigsby into the chair Wilco: "That bastard!" dreyrugr: "I will tear him limb from limb! Slim_Bankshot: "We fight his rule as best we can, Chesty: "What a wanker" Slim_Bankshot: But with the military might at his disposal we simply cannot overthrow him" Heronius: hmmm...Military is it? Slim_Bankshot: "We have been traveling the galaxy for some time now, searching for rockers to bring hope" Heronius: Well, you've come to the right group. Heronius: These maniacs live rock so hard I'm concerned they might burst into violence or song at any given moment. Slim_Bankshot: "I shall not lie. Many have tried to rock, that many, have been imprisoned, sodomized, and killed." Slim_Bankshot: "Not always in that order." Heronius: Sodomy you say? Sark: "Sodomy?" Slim_Bankshot: "Do you have any questions we can answer?" Heronius: Sex in the bottom sark. Lucas_Strongbow: What's a galaxy? Wilco: "Why us? Surely there are billions of rockers in this universe" Heronius: I thought you knew about that dreyrugr: "What currency do you use on your... what did you call it? A planet or something?" Sark: "I understand the concept, Heronius." Heronius: That is a relief Wilco: "Sark has first hand experience" Heronius: I didn't really want to go into detail. Slim_Bankshot: "As I said," Slim_Bankshot: "Many have rocked before you." Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20+10 intimidate. Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, intimidate.: [16] = 26 Slim_Bankshot: "But when we heard of your ability, we had to investigate if it was true." Chesty: "Wait, did someone mention sodomy'" Slim_Bankshot: "After that battle, we believe you can do it." Heronius: Ahh yes, the fire elementals. Heronius: A trifle really. Chesty: "The pony dudes?" Igfig: back Igfig: sorry, phone call Heronius: Just speak brigsby. Brigsby: "Are we there yet?" Heronius: This is not a schoolhouse Lucas_Strongbow: Do some magical shit, they'll notice that Igfig: The gratch all burst out laughing Igfig: "There yet! Are we there yet!" Slim_Bankshot: "You sir." Lucas_Strongbow: Gratch laughter is a horrifying sound Heronius: Heronius looks on with growing horror. Slim_Bankshot: "?Do you require the restroom?' Igfig: gratch have an odd sense of humour Brigsby: "Oh, no, I just wanted to ask that question." dreyrugr: "Mr. Gratch. What currency do you use on your... what did you call it? A planet or something?" Chesty: "Oh shit, can I use the can? There beers are going full on aggro on my kidney" Igfig: "If you have any more questions of such hilarity, more would be welcome," the grey one says to brigsby Igfig: "We use gold, much as everybody else." Slim_Bankshot: "We use the same gold as you, great rocker." Slim_Bankshot: Dammit ig Heronius: Perfect. Igfig: oops Wilco: So about that deal, with this talk of danger and a military Sark: "I have a question. How is it that you speak Common?" Wilco: How about you raise it to 200,000? Brigsby: "Wait, you're calling Drey a great rocker? She just posed for the one poster we made." Heronius: I am the producer, I will negotiate the deal. Wilco: 1d20+9 diplomacy Fortuna: Wilco, diplomacy: [16] = 25 dreyrugr: "And will we getting any new weapons when we arive?" Heronius: Dmn it Wilco: WHAT THE FUCK Wilco: (sorry, ignore that, lag on my end) Igfig: "Most beings in the universe speak some form of Common, as a matter of fact." Chesty: "Except elves" Chesty: "Stupid elves" Slim_Bankshot: "Elves suck. Do not compare us!" Sark: "Well, I guess it is called 'Common' for a reason." Heronius: Good, something we all can agree on. Igfig: "Indeed, there are a few other language groups: Elven, Dwarven, and the like. There are perhaps a dozen languages in all, plus dialects." Lucas_Strongbow: What to do the Gratch actually look like? Slim_Bankshot: Uhh... Igfig: they're tall, greyish browinsh green Igfig: covered in spikes Igfig: spines, rather Igfig: have you ever seen a howler? Heronius: no Thorn_the_Gnoll: Nope. Igfig: google it Igfig: howler D&D Wilco: so like this? http://www.uni.uiuc.edu/library/blog/blog_images/howler.jpg Lucas_Strongbow: That's the most terrifying creature I have ever seen Igfig: thanks wilco Igfig: yes, that Wilco: Dear god how are we not screaming in horror? Slim_Bankshot: Only on two legs? Igfig: I did tell you guys they were nightmarish Chesty: AAAAHHH Heronius: I am a wizard, I've met glaberezu. Chesty: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Wilco: CHESTY CALM DOWN Sark: "I've seen worse out in the wild." Igfig: also they have a sort of semitransparent mucus that occasionally trails from their mouths and down their chest Igfig: s Igfig: keeps them moisturized Chesty: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Far-Walker: The giant bug-man is not perturbed. dreyrugr: "Mr. Gratch. When will we be getting our weapons?" Heronius: Half of the band drools like that. Igfig: they've been licking themselves occasionally during the conversation Wilco: eww Chesty: "Thanks for the nudge, little man. Needed it" Far-Walker: That's like a -10 to all diplomacy checks Chesty: And plus 10000 for intimidate Igfig: "Your weapons are in the next room over. Do not worry." Heronius: Ahh good, I feel odd without my wands. Chesty: And without me old sword. Sark: "And my maces." Lucas_Strongbow: I feel like we should get going. We're getting paid, what more do we need to know? dreyrugr: "And my axe!" Heronius: Going where? Slim_Bankshot: If that was an intentional pun I will stab you drey Igfig: "Perhaps we should divide this conversation, Captain? I could be of enlightenment to those of our guests with questions about space and the similar, so you can focus on the situation at hands." Slim_Bankshot: "Yes." Slim_Bankshot: "For the rest of you," Igfig: okay, science/setting/space questions in the other chat Slim_Bankshot: "I am Captain Franxnaliag." Heronius: I am Heronius Napalm XVI Wilco: I am sir Wilco III Sark: "I am Sark" Heronius: Producer of the band and manager of finances and contracts. Chesty: "Chesty at your service, horrible beer producing space horrors" Slim_Bankshot: "Have you any questions about your mission?" Sark: "I play drums" Chesty: "Im the muscle" Wilco: What do you want us to do? Chesty: "Who do I hurt?" Lucas_Strongbow: I am Lucas Strongbow, hunter, rhythm guitarist and future recipient of gold Slim_Bankshot: Back in a sec dudes Heronius: Do you have a plan? dreyrugr: "I am Dreyrugr Nott. Cover Girl and Back up singer." Far-Walker: "I am Far-Walker, maker of the low sounds." Thorn_the_Gnoll: "I'm Thorn." Slim_Bankshot: OK. Here. Slim_Bankshot: "We have been unable to establish a firm plan," Wilco: what is the basis of our mission? Slim_Bankshot: "As the movements and actions of leader in question are quite unpredictable." Slim_Bankshot: "Take power from him by any means neccesary." Slim_Bankshot: "RESTORE ROCK TO IT'S FORMER GLORY!" Lucas_Strongbow: What is your leader's name? Is he a Gratch like yourself? Heronius: Indeed. Wilco: How do you recommend me go about this? You know more about this man than we do Sark: "Would a mace to the skull help in any useful function?" Chesty: "I could punch his face in" Chesty: "With my fists" Wilco: Not everything can be solved with a fist you know Slim_Bankshot: "His name." Chesty: "Annoying little men can, Wilco" Slim_Bankshot: "Is Emperor Procos." Slim_Bankshot: "He is...." Slim_Bankshot: "An elf." Wilco: SONOVA BITCH Chesty: "WE MUST KILL HIM" Wilco: Chesty, I know that sometimes we don't see eye to eye, but today. For this mission, we need to work together to take down that fucking elf Slim_Bankshot: "We place the future of rock in your hands, great warriors." Chesty: Lets kill this wanker Wilco: Deal Wilco: Where is the planet? Heronius: I suppose we will just charge in without any sort of strategy, as usual. Lucas_Strongbow: We need a planning montage. Wilco: I agree dreyrugr: "Fuck that. Let's just charge in and kill everything we see." Chesty: Here's the plan Chesty: Stay behind me Heronius: Wait until we arrive, and gather intelligence. Wilco: Chesty I swear to god if you-- sigh Chesty: And I'll burn his face with my powers Wilco: wait Heronius: Then we can formulate a solid strategy. Sark: "That may not be a smart course of action, Drey" Wilco: Maybe brigsby can sneak in there and gather some info for us Lucas_Strongbow: I agree, we need tact with this mission. Look how the Battle of the Bands turned out. Wilco: see where their defences are week Chesty: "Wait, I have an idea" Wilco: weak* Slim_Bankshot: "We approve of your courage," Chesty: "HEY CAPTAIN FRANKY" Slim_Bankshot: "But a reckless charge is foolhardy." Heronius: (I require cake, I shall return.) Wilco: Do you have some sort of map of the planet? Chesty: "Yo skipper, any chance of me getting some new bitching armor and weapon for free?" Chesty: "To fight for rock and against elves, of course" Slim_Bankshot: "WAIT!" Slim_Bankshot: "I have a bad feeling about this..." Heronius: (cake attained) Chesty: "About giving me free stuff?" Igfig: "Captain, you have heard it too? Our sensors are detecting something." dreyrugr: I'm gonna do an insight check on the gratch before they leave dreyrugr: 1d20+1 Fortuna: dreyrugr, 1d20+1: [7] = 8 Slim_Bankshot: "Of what threat level?" Igfig: "Threat level remarkable, Captain!" Sark: "Remarkable? What does that mean exactly?" Heronius: That sounds... reamarkable. Slim_Bankshot: "Establish defensive actions!" Chesty: "Holy shit Heronius, your with knows no end" Wilco: What does this mean? Chesty: *with Chesty: AGH *wit Slim_Bankshot: "We must protect our rockers!" Wilco: "How can we help?!" Heronius: Indeed. dreyrugr: "Fetch me my sword!" Chesty: "WE MUST PROTECT THE ROCKERS" Lucas_Strongbow: Hey, you're paying us! We protect you Heronius: Contract says we start when we arrive. Chesty: Hey YOU are paying me to bodyguard! Let me help! Igfig: You can see it now, outside the windoe Igfig: w Slim_Bankshot: "We are paying you to save our planet!" Wilco: "Dammit I won't stand by while there is a fight to be had!" dreyrugr: "OH GOD A GIANT ROCK" Igfig: from behind a colossal asteroid, a massive ship suddenly swings into view Igfig: even larger than your own Wilco: "OOOHHH FUUUUUCCKKKK" Chesty: "DEAR TIAMAT, WHAT IS THAT" Heronius: 250,000 Fortuna: Heronius, 250,000: [] = (250, 0) Sark: "We may need a larger vessel." dreyrugr: "BY MORADIN'S BEARD WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!" Brigsby: "I've seen bigger." Igfig: oops Slim_Bankshot: Bright lights shoot from the fromnt of the enemy ship. Chesty: "Hey, they're doing magic! At us!" Igfig: how do I insert a picture? Slim_Bankshot: Not unlike magin spells cast by [group spelcaster] dreyrugr: Just copy past ig dreyrugr: paste* Sark: "A very astute observation, Chesty." Chesty: Totally called it Slim_Bankshot: Copy paste the URL Chesty: "Where's our mage?" Wilco: "Where are the escape pods?!" Heronius: I am a wizard. Brigsby: "Uh... that'd be me?" Heronius: Not some two-bit mage. Chesty: "Boss, shoot at them!" Igfig: it's an image on my computer Chesty: "Brigs, you too!" dreyrugr: Upload it Slim_Bankshot: Wilco, how do you know what an escape pod is? dreyrugr: And then copy paste the direct link Sark: Upload it to Imgur dreyrugr: Or, you can put it on the map Chesty: or tinypic.com Igfig: ah, the map Brigsby: Ig, upload it to a image host, then paste the link Wilco: I don't know dreyrugr: TO THE MAP Wilco: ignore that Wilco: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH Wilco: ELVEN ARMADA Sark: "ELVES" Chesty: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH dreyrugr: SHIT Wilco: THOSE FUCKING ELVES Chesty: BOSS, SHOOT IT Chesty: CAST MAGIC AT IT Sark: "Even their starships look fruity." Igfig: image host is too slow dreyrugr: "Is that some fucking space butterfly? Heronius: I suggest we evade. Chesty: "Boss, Heronious, what the fuck are you doing, dude! Shoot at it!" Wilco: "SOMEONE DO SOMETHING" Chesty: "Like, fireballs or something" Heronius: There is a large pane of glass between us and it. Chesty: "Should I break the glass?" Heronius: If I break it, we will die horribly. dreyrugr: "Break the glass!" Thorn_the_Gnoll: "EVERYBODY CALM DOWN." Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20+10 Intimidate Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, Intimidate: [8] = 18 Sark: "That may not end well for us." Chesty: Who are you intimidating Far-Walker: And Far-Walker's back to swearing in Thri-Kreen Heronius: Breaking the glass would result in death. Thorn_the_Gnoll: The people freaking out, or everyone, maybe everyone. Thorn_the_Gnoll: It's a gnoll thing. Chesty: Ok, that gave me an idea Heronius: What do the gratch have to say about our defence? Chesty: Where's the captain? Igfig: "Actually it would not, due to air envelopes... although a flitter would shoot you, and then you would die." Chesty: Hero, can you summon some, uh, magical something to communicate with them? Wilco: SHIT Heronius: I am a destruction based wizard, not a summoner. dreyrugr: "Then destroy their ship!" Igfig: The captain is up on the bridge, probably Chesty: Well, can you destruct us some way to communicate with them? Wilco: I run up to the bridge Igfig: The Armada starts disgorging a number of small ships, fighter-size Wilco: "Captain what do we do? Wilco: " Heronius: I will pretend you didn't say that Igfig: also looking like butterfly things Chesty: Can you do anything at all? They're shooting butterflies at us! Heronius: hmm, we may have guests soon. Heronius: We will see then. Slim_Bankshot: The captain is ignoring you, rushing to and fro attending to things. Chesty: Well, maybe they're friendly dreyrugr: "I think it's giving birth!" Igfig: You can hear grinding noises as your own guns are deployed, and start firing back Igfig: but your guns are smaller and fewer Igfig: and also there's the fighters Igfig: your ship is big, but not as big as theirs Heronius: We seem to be limited to observation at this time Igfig: not at all Chesty: And yelling at each other Heronius: But if our hosts have some suggestions on how we can help, NOW WOULD BE THE FUCKING TIME TO MENTION THEM Wilco: guys dreyrugr: "FETCH ME MY SWORD!" Lucas_Strongbow: This is out there, but can I make a perception check to look for weak spots on their ship? Wilco: do you think if we smash the window, we can ride the air that gets sucked out to their ship, and break in? Igfig: "Gentlefriends, I believe it may come to this. Your lives are valuable, so I will suggest that you take the shuttle and escape the hell out of here right now." Chesty: "That's a shitty plan" Chesty: "lets call that PLAN S" dreyrugr: "let's do it!" Chesty: "for shitty" Wilco: "At least I'm suggesting!" Chesty: "We should fight!" Far-Walker: "What's a shuttle?" Heronius: I doubt the band will agree to run away. Wilco: "Alright let's get the shitting fuck shit out of this shit" Heronius: They are rather.. hot-blooded. Chesty: "A CAVALIER DOES NOT RETREAT FROM BUTTERFLIES AND ELVES" Heronius: I have an idea. dreyrugr: "Fly me closer! I wish to hit them with my sword!" Igfig: "If you dislike that, then seek the airlocks and prepare to repel boarders Igfig: " Wilco: "HE DOES IF IT IS FOR THE GOOD OF AN ENTIRE PLANET" Brigsby: "Is there a plan that doesn't involve shoving all nine of us into a smaller thing, then blasting us into an asteroid field? Brigsby: " Wilco: "You know what, let's kick their ass, where are the airlocks?" Igfig: "This way." Far-Walker: "Where's our things?" Lucas_Strongbow: We need to prove ourselves to these people, what better way than defending them? Brigsby: "Maybe we should think about this?" Igfig: "We will fight them as we must can, but if we are losing there is no negotiation. You must survive." Heronius: Shetland Firestorm is not known for thinking. Chesty: Or winning battles Wilco: "Our will is strong, but our mind is frail" Heronius: I know I must survive. Heronius: I will throw you at them if I think it will help. Brigsby: "We're more known for one or two guys jumping into battle, and the rest getting dragged along." Chesty: "Dont worry boss, it's my duty to protect all of you little men" Heronius: (brb) Brigsby: While we're waiting for the boarding parties to get here, do I have time to identify my sword? Wilco: "Do you think these guys have some super advanced weapons?" your_lasers: Yeah Wilco: OUR LASERS TALK Brigsby: So arcana? 1d20+6 Brigsby: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Brigsby, 1d20+6: [8] = 14 Chesty: Yo, space monsters, any chance of getting some new sword? dreyrugr: Fortuna. I love you. Please give us good rolls. Chesty: Like a magical one made of lasers? Wilco: I agree with that Lucas_Strongbow: I look for weakness on the alien ship, like ones the lasers could shoot at 1d20+11 perception Lucas_Strongbow: 1d20+11 Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20+11: [11] = 22 Wilco: did you just roll your passive perception? Wilco: or your modifier? Slim_Bankshot: Suddenly. Lucas_Strongbow: Modifier. I am crazy perceptive Wilco: wow Slim_Bankshot: There is a loud crash and the entire ship shakes Wilco: "fuck" Chesty: So hey how about we assume some kind of defensive position or something? For once they board? Slim_Bankshot: Sparks shoot through the ceiling in several places and start moving in a cirle Slim_Bankshot: *circles dreyrugr: "WHAT WIZARDRY IS THIS" Heronius: Our guests have arrived. Chesty: Fuck this Chesty: I ready my sword Chesty: Looking at the ceiling Sark: "That is certainly an unconventional entrance" Slim_Bankshot: Large chunks of the ceiling fall in and cans are dropped which quickly start spewing a thick gray smoke Heronius: I ready an action Heronius: I will use scorching burst on the first thing that I see in that area Slim_Bankshot: Hang on guys Slim_Bankshot: Getting my shit together Slim_Bankshot: As the smoke begins to clear, large shapes drop through the holes in the ceiling Slim_Bankshot: Their feratures obscured by the haze Slim_Bankshot: *features Heronius: Scorching burst! dreyrugr: Can I charge? Wilco: Defender aura! Wilco: wait Wilco: we should roll initiative Igfig: I think init, yes dreyrugr: 1d20+1 Fortuna: dreyrugr, 1d20+1: [1] = 2 Igfig: since nobody's really surprised dreyrugr: OH COME ON Wilco: ad20 Wilco: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Wilco, 1d20+6: [11] = 17 Brigsby: 1d20+5 Fortuna: Brigsby, 1d20+5: [16] = 21 Sark: 1d20+5 Fortuna: Sark, 1d20+5: [12] = 17 Heronius: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Heronius, 1d20+6: [14] = 20 Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20+9 Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, 1d20+9: [1] = 10 Lucas_Strongbow: 1d20+7 Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20+7: [7] = 14 Heronius: oops Sark: Tiebreaker, Wilco Heronius: that's +2 Wilco: huh?
