PwotMoose: Brigs or Dave? Igfig: shrug handofevil: We're just finishing up a few things right now Igfig: whoever you've been using so far PwotMoose: Brigs then handofevil: Oh, I finally remembered how to RP Holdr Ace_Justice: I want to make it clear that dill pickle chips are the best chips ever made Thorn: Nein. Heronius_Napalm: I want to be clear that drinking anything other than coke-cola is an offense. Ace_Justice: That is true Ace_Justice: but coke with dill pickle chips is the snack of gods Heronius_Napalm: I prefer burnt kettle chips. Heronius_Napalm: the more rock-like the better. Ace_Justice: Urgh Ace_Justice: burnt chips are horrible Heronius_Napalm: you are the worst person. Ace_Justice: Have you ever tried the chilli recipe Captain Bravo posted on the forums a little while ago? Ace_Justice: Actually I'm pretty sure bravo is in this dnd group Heronius_Napalm: He was Heronius_Napalm: he left. Ace_Justice: oh yeah Ace_Justice: shame Ace_Justice: still Ace_Justice: you should totally try that chilli Ace_Justice: it is just amazing Ace_Justice: I grew a beard after finishing it Heronius_Napalm: I already have a beard. Ace_Justice: it will get bigger Ace_Justice: Texas bigger Igfig: you have impelled me to go get a bite to eat. Igfig: back in a sec Heronius_Napalm: hmm Heronius_Napalm: the admin at plothook pmed me. Heronius_Napalm: asked if I was going to join a game on that site. Heronius_Napalm: odd. Thorn: Dun dun duns. Ace_Justice: He did that for me too Brigsby: I'm not sure why, but that just reminded me that my LOTRO account is suspended for the next three days Heronius_Napalm: I suppose he just wants to know if my account is inactive or not. Igfig: back Ace_Justice: you missed a montage Igfig: I saw it Igfig: when you mentioned plothook and games it reminded me of my old days at Sigil Prep Ace_Justice: nerrrrddd Igfig: now I have to go look and see what they're up to these days Igfig: Sigil Prep is the best campaign I have ever been part of Ace_Justice: what is it Igfig: It's basically a college movie Igfig: set at an adventurer's college in Sigil Igfig: the city at the center of the multiverse Ace_Justice: oh neat Igfig: it's sort of a double parody but also genuine Igfig: huge cast of great players, awesome DM Igfig: would take weeks to read it all though Slim_Bankshot joined #pwot_dnd2. Thorn: Ta das. Brigsby: TEAM SABOTAGE IN THIS THREAD Thorn: All two + oen of us. Heronius: So are we on the planet? Thorn: one* Brigsby: Yeah, we're going around back Thorn: I think we have to shuttle down. Valet: "Alright. Does your master have a specific destination in mind?" Brigsby: right Valet: Oh wait Valet: Bam. Red Valet: Alright Valet: "Did your master have a specific destination in mind?" Brigsby: "I'm to be taken to the band's entrance, I'm not sure about them." Valet: "Very well." Valet: The space limo circles around back. Heronius_Barvo: we are all to go there, we have preperations to make. Valet: "Band entrance." Brigsby: "Thank you", I say as I get off. I tip him a gold piece or something Valet: "Thank you sirrah." Heronius_Barvo: I exite. Heronius_Barvo: looking imperious Thorn: I follow, looking gnollish. Valet: The space limo pulls off Brigsby: Alright, what are you two gonna do? Because I'm gonna get rid of this band Heronius_Barvo: we will help you with that, then we are going to go find a ship to steal Heronius_Barvo: and some mischief to cause Brigsby: Sounds good Thorn: Likely setting up the ships we don't steal to explode. Brigsby: Ready? Brigsby: (Oh shit, I need to come up with some lyrics) Heronius_Barvo: all set Thorn: Always. disembodied_narrator: There's a bouncer at the entrance Brigsby: Is he as big as the one in the other chat? Other_bouncer: "Can I help yout?" Other_bouncer: He is Heronius_Barvo: good, means he is dumb as hell. Brigsby: Hi, we're the band. Brigsby: in quotes Brigsby: "Hi we're the band" Other_bouncer: "Which band." Brigsby: "The one that's playing for the Officers tonight." Thorn: "The band that gets booed off the stage before Illin takes the stage. Brigsby: "What he said." Other_bouncer: "You don't look like you're in a band." Heronius_Barvo: We are to be humiliated before the crowd Heronius_Barvo: for being non elven Other_bouncer: "What's your name." Thorn: The Lesser Races. Other_bouncer: The bouncer checks his clipboard Other_bouncer: "You're not on here." Heronius_Barvo: Commander Eltas added us Heronius_Barvo: as a surprise for the generals Heronius_Barvo: bluff check Heronius_Barvo: with glib tongue Other_bouncer: Roll it Heronius_Barvo: 1d20+10 Fortuna: Heronius_Barvo, 1d20+10: [20] = 30 Heronius_Barvo: bitch Ace_Justice: whoa Other_bouncer: HOLY CRAP Ace_Justice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EvcItjITGk Brigsby: damn straight Other_bouncer: "Pardon me sirs. How could I be so stupid." Other_bouncer: "Head on in." Other_bouncer: The bouncer steps aside." Heronius_Barvo: Thank you my good sir. Other_bouncer: As you step in, you can see your other comrades mingling Other_bouncer: or whatever they're doing Brigsby: (Due to lack of spontaneous lyric ideas, I will instead sing a modified version of Catullus 16) Heronius_Barvo: give him a diplomacy check to make him second guess himself in case of a struggle later on. Heronius_Barvo: 1d20+10 Fortuna: Heronius_Barvo, 1d20+10: [14] = 24 Other_bouncer: The bouncer ushers you back stage through a door. Brigsby: what was the General's name? Other_bouncer: Amarear Heronius_Barvo: right Other_bouncer: (It translates to beautiful unicorn) Brigsby: Wonderful Heronius_Barvo: of fucking course it does Ace_Justice: We're in, make sure you get your side done, we can't stay disguised forever Thorn: I wonder if he tastes like unicorn, probably not. Heronius_Barvo: doubtful Other_bouncer: The band is sitting around Other_bouncer: praticing Heronius_Barvo: anyone else around? Other_bouncer: Nope Heronius_Barvo: perfect Brigsby: Are we backstage? Other_bouncer: Yes you are Brigsby: I'm guessing yes Heronius_Barvo: also, are there any hooded cloaks nearby? Thorn: How soundproofed is this space? I suppose the party would cover up most noises all the same. Other_bouncer: You could probably cut the curtain Thorn: Also how many band members are there? Brigsby: Let's not do that, those are probably really expensive Heronius_Barvo: either of you good at sewing? Other_bouncer: All that's between you and the party is a curtain and a wall Other_bouncer: Also, there's 4 Thorn: So we'd be relying on party noises to cover up any noise, so best to be quiet. Brigsby: All my attacks are Thunder or Lightning, so it's hard for me to be discrete Heronius_Barvo: stealth checks for quiet Thorn: Yeah. Other_bouncer: Give me a sec, I need to find where I put their stats Heronius_Barvo: I doubt they are high level brigs Heronius_Barvo: you could give them a little song to distract. Other_bouncer: There they are Heronius_Barvo: Thorn could get some backstabs in Heronius_Barvo: I can get some magical missiles Thorn: I have two backstabs an encounter. Brigsby: Yeah, I can go onstage with a microphone and sing a nice, pretty Draconic song to cover up you two beating the tar out of the other band Other_bouncer: The other leader notices you and stands up. Zawyn: "Can I help you?" Thorn: "Our apologies, we're just, awed, to see you." Zawyn: He blushes Zawyn: "Oh why thank you." Brigsby: There are microphones out there, right? Zawyn: Si Thorn: "We're The Lesser Races, a rather paltry band compared to one of such fame as yours." Heronius_Barvo: wait, he is in to thorn? Thorn: Some elves are into weird things, they do love nature. Zawyn: Wait what? Zawyn: Yes he is Zawyn: "I do quite love gnolls." Brigsby: Alright, I go out there, other chat? Zawyn: "Maybe you and me could spend some... quality time together." Zawyn: Yeah Thorn: "Perhaps we could. You should bring a friend." Zawyn: "Mmmm. I'd like that." Heronius_Barvo aside to the elf Heronius_Barvo: "thorn here is very, VERY skilled. Zawyn: He smiles Heronius_Barvo: you should be very excited to be chosen" Zawyn: "Of that I have no doubt." Zawyn: "Oh believe me I am." Zawyn: "And- Wait, what's your friend doing?" Heronius_Barvo: Nothing at all. Heronius_Barvo: Hypnosis! Thorn: "A bit of our band's job, we were hired to be booed off stage." Zawyn: Hold on, Slim wants area names Zawyn: Back Zawyn: "Yes, but shouldn't you all be up there?" Thorn: "He'll be fine, I'd much rather get my hands on some elf meat." Thorn suggestively winks. Zawyn: "Mmmmm. Sounds good." Heronius_Barvo: alright then. Heronius_Barvo: so how many of the band follow thorn? Ace_Justice: What the hell is going on in this other chat Thorn: Zawyn and one other band member I think. Zawyn: One other Heronius_Barvo: okay Heronius_Barvo: so that leaves me alone with two of them? Zawyn: "Rhyala! Come!" Thorn: And some cover noise from Brigsby on stage I believe. Zawyn: Yeah Brigsby: singing now Heronius_Barvo: okay, time for some serious wizarding. Thorn: He rolled a 30, so you should be good for plenty of fire. Thorn: Right, to the other room with the elves quickly then. Zawyn: Try and avoid the curtains though Zawyn: They're very nice Heronius_Barvo: haha Heronius_Barvo: Actually Heronius_Barvo: it is time for item number 3 Heronius_Barvo: Mind Control Zawyn: Oh crap Zawyn: That sounds hilarious Heronius_Barvo: so who are the two remaining band members? Zawyn: You have no idea Zawyn: One is playing the harp and the other a flute Heronius_Barvo: The one plaing the flute suddenly hears whispered in her ear "slut" flute_girl: "Who said that!" Heronius_Barvo: said what? flute_girl: "Was it you?!" Heronius_Barvo: me what? flute_girl: She storms up to you flute_girl: "You better not have just called me a slut!" Ace_Justice: Hero is awesome Heronius_Barvo: I take a quick glance over her shoulder. Lucas_Strongbow: A romance blossoms Heronius_Barvo: I cast Charm of misplaced wrath on the harpist. Heronius_Barvo: 1d20+9 Fortuna: Heronius_Barvo, 1d20+9: [12] = 21 Heronius_Barvo: vs will flute_girl: Hit flute_girl: I sometimes forget you guys are only level 6 Heronius_Barvo: She attacks the flautist Heronius_Barvo: with a +4 to damage flute_girl: 1d20+11 v AC Fortuna: flute_girl, v AC: [18] = 29 Ace_Justice: I thought we were level 4 Brigsby: Alright, I'm going to sing something in Common next, when I sing the word FIRE, is when you guys come onstage flute_girl: She grabs a bottle and smacks the flutist Heronius_Barvo: "oh my!" flute_girl: 2d6+10 Fortuna: flute_girl, 2d6+10: [5, 6] = 21 Brigsby: we're level 6 you idiot flute_girl: Yes I know Ace_Justice: oh hey so we are Heronius_Barvo: "Why would you do that?" Ace_Justice: I hardly look up at that part of my character sheet Heronius_Barvo: The harpist is dazed flute_girl: "Ow!" Heronius_Barvo: and cannot speak Brigsby: did you guys get the Fire message? Heronius_Barvo: so I ghost sound her voice infront of her mouth Heronius_Barvo: SLUT! Heronius_Barvo: oh my Thorn: Yes we heard. Heronius_Barvo: Off to the stage then. Thorn: Or, Hero heard. flute_girl: The flutist and the harpist are now wrestling on the ground flute_girl: Tearing each other's hair and such Heronius_Barvo: well, that went swimmingly! Heronius_Barvo rubs hands together Thorn: Right, so over in the room with me and the two elves then? flute_girl: Yeah Heronius_Barvo: yup Heronius_Barvo: also, I take whatever valuables they might have had. Zawyn: They only had their instruments and a few bottles of rum Zawyn: "Mmmm. So now that we're alone, what do you wanna do to me?" Brigsby: I SAID FIRE COME UP COME UP Zawyn: Hero is out there now Heronius_Barvo: wait, why would hero be on stage? Heronius_Barvo: ahh whatever Zawyn: Oh Zawyn: Nevermind then Zawyn: It hought you went out Zawyn: Brigs wants fire though Heronius_Barvo: on it Thorn: "I need a bit of time to prepare, I'd like you to get started though, could you kiss each other?" Zawyn: "I'd rather kiss you." Thorn: "I know, but I have to get in the mood first." Thorn: "Please, the wait will be worth it." Zawyn: He looks slightly disappointed Zawyn: "Fiiiiiine" He sighs Zawyn: And does exactly that Thorn: Right, and while they're doing that I'd like to take this moment to stab them both through the neck at the same time. Thorn: Can I do that? Zawyn: Of course Thorn: Awesome, so, combat advantage, backstab, all that fun stuff. Thorn: 1d20+18 vs. AC Fortuna: Thorn, vs. AC: [2] = 20 Thorn: Oh wow.

Zawyn: Not really. It's average for their level Zawyn: Which is your level Ace_Justice: shouldn't we hear the fighting/ Ace_Justice: ? Thorn: Guess it comes with being a band member. Thorn: I'm in a backroom further away from the backstage. Zawyn: Nope. Brigs is up on stage Zawyn: I think Thorn: Zawyn himself suggested it was a "quiet place" to do stuff in. Ace_Justice: aah Ace_Justice: okay then Thorn: "What, not in to gore Zawyn?" Zawyn: "How dare you." Zawyn: He whips his hair and sends out a sparkling bolt Zawyn: 1d20+10 v Ref Fortuna: Zawyn, v Ref: [11] = 21 Thorn: Hit.

Thorn: I think it would be a good time to throw that general off the trail of this fight perhaps, since I'm assuming that he caught a whiff of it. Thorn: Or should I wait for that for once Slim gets back? Zawyn: Wait til slim is back Thorn: Alright, I'll save the action point for that then. Thorn: Next. Zawyn: Z then Zawyn: Throws his hair back and gleams with beauty Zawyn: 2#1d20+12 v AC Hero Thorn Fortuna: Zawyn, v AC Hero Thorn: [1] = 13; v AC Hero Thorn: [3] = 15 Zawyn: Oh crap Zawyn: Blast back Heronius_Barvo: miss Thorn: Miss.

Zawyn: Perfect Zawyn: He collapses in a pile of glitter Heronius_Barvo: Fun. Zawyn: And thus the battle ends Heronius_Barvo: Now Thorn. Thorn: Yes boss? Heronius_Barvo: Let's go find something large and expensive to break. Thorn: That sounds like a wonderful thing to do. Zawyn: You happen to be in a very large and expensive place Heronius_Barvo: Nice, but I was thinking more like battleships. Heronius_Barvo: first though, I want to rig up this place to burn. Brigsby: If the procedure was the same as us, all the battleships are in orbit Heronius_Barvo: hmm Thorn: What about a control tower of some sort? Thorn: Like the place that security guy messages us from? Heronius_Barvo: We shall need to survey the area. Heronius_Barvo: perhaps we can get a fight to break out? Ace_Justice: try that ghost sound thing again Ace_Justice: that was clever Thorn: Right, I have an idea. Zawyn: Please do what I'm thinking Zawyn: It'd be hilarious Thorn: What are you thinking? Heronius_Barvo: tell usss! Thorn: I love hilarious things. Zawyn: You could find out where the rest of the party is Zawyn: Ghost sound there Ace_Justice: oh god no Ace_Justice: IT WILL BLOW EVERYTHING Zawyn: BUT YOU DIDN'T HEAR THAT FROM ME Zawyn: Yes, but hilarious Ace_Justice: nor did you hear that we are about to get vital information from me Thorn: I think the whole sudden rock music thing will be good enough to blow their cover, we have explosions and mischief of a military scale to set up. Zawyn: Aye. That you do Heronius_Barvo: the rock shall be our distraction Thorn: Maybe set up a little time delayed something here though before we go? Thorn: So the band gets a bit of pyrotechnics even while we're gone. Heronius_Barvo: Most certainly Heronius_Barvo: I shall set up an elaborate magical contraption that will slowly burn away, and in exactly 8 minutes, (fakey rp time) Heronius_Barvo: shall unleash a blast of glorius spaks Heronius_Barvo: which will most certainly catch on the delicate curtains. Heronius_Barvo: 1d20+16 Fortuna: Heronius_Barvo, 1d20+16: [10] = 26 Zawyn: Yeah that works Heronius_Barvo: perfect! Heronius_Barvo: let's be off. Heronius_Barvo: brb Thorn: Awesome, now perhaps we can get some directions to that tower the random security guy messages our ship from. We should be able to locate shuttles up from there for us and the band and possibly a way to get the ships to shoot eachother, except ours. Zawyn: So what are you doing to get that Thorn: Well, not sure. Heronius_Barvo: A skill challenge! Thorn: Ask the bouncer probably. Zawyn: You could do that Heronius_Barvo: Hello my good chap. Heronius_Barvo: I've recived word from my master. bouncer: "Good day. How may I help you?" Heronius_Barvo: we are to proceed to the security tower and speak to the good elf there about the orbit of our ship Heronius_Barvo: we need to leave earlier than expected. bouncer: "Ah. Well the security tower is on the other island. Heronius_Barvo: I see. Heronius_Barvo: how do we get there? bouncer: "If you're looking for your shuttles though, they're in the theme park about 5 blocks over." Thorn: "We just need to contact the ship on behalf of the commander, let them know to prepare for departure ahead of time." Heronius_Barvo: Also, the commander requires certain...preparations for when he returns. bouncer: "Your master should have his relay." Heronius_Barvo: we need to see that they are begun immediately Heronius_Barvo: It has proven to be faulty. Heronius_Barvo: That is why we are sent running. bouncer: "Well I recommend you see if you can get a ride over to the tower via shuttle." Heronius_Barvo: Thank you good sir. Heronius_Barvo: we are off for our shuttle. Thorn: Indeed. bouncer: So over to the theme park then bouncer: ? Heronius_Barvo: wait! Heronius_Barvo: insight check on the bouncer Heronius_Barvo: check him for lies Heronius_Barvo: 1d20+10 Fortuna: Heronius_Barvo, 1d20+10: [13] = 23 bouncer: There are indeed no lies Lucas_Strongbow: We are in the middle of Operation Gatecrasher, and you two are going to a theme park bouncer: Of course! Heronius_Barvo: off we go bouncer: They want to ride the ferriswheel Thorn: Course we are. Rollercoasters are awesome. bouncer: So you arrive a smallish theme park, there's a few kiddie rides and a massive roller coaster. As well as a ferris wheel. Thorn: How massive a roller coaster? Also where are the shuttles? Brigsby: this better turn out glorious or you guys are in big trouble when/if we all escape from this Heronius_Barvo: haha Thorn: Do you not see the word massive in front of the word roller coaster? bouncer: Massively Massive. You can't see any from where you're at Heronius_Barvo: hmm Thorn: So either we ask where the shuttles are, or we ride the ferris wheel or rollercoaster and try to spot them from there. bouncer: Up to you Ace_Justice: We may need an emergency exit in a few minutes Ace_Justice: So uh, prepare lots of fire Thorn: Right, so, it'd probably be quicker to ask then do a ride. Heronius_Barvo: I have several fires preapared at all times bouncer: Hero is going to blaze a track on the rollercoaster Heronius_Barvo: Indeed Thorn: Sounds good, lets go. Brigsby: you're all jerks Heronius_Barvo: Two tickets, FAST! Ticket_person: "Welcome to Fun Land (Trademark)!" Ticket_person: "Yes sir!" Ticket_person: "Here you go!" Heronius_Barvo: Thanks. Heronius_Barvo: now move. Heronius_Barvo: Climb into the car with thorn. Thorn: Goody goody. Ticket_person: Are you on the roller coaster? Brigsby: tremendous jerks Heronius_Barvo: yup Ticket_person: "Please keep your hands, er paws, inside the cart at all times." Ticket_person: "Fire is strictly forbidden." Ticket_person: "Enjoy your ride." Ticket_person: The Operator steps back and flips a switch Ticket_person: Your cart clancks up the coaster slowly Ticket_person: And just as you reach the top, you spot the shuttles Ticket_person: Way at the other end of the park. Ticket_person: And then you zoom down Thorn: This is the best way to find shuttles ever. Heronius_Barvo: whoosh Brigsby: need Barvo on drums random_kid: "Weeeeeeeeeeeeee" Ace_Justice: Kill that child Ace_Justice: this mission is too important for any sentiment Heronius_Barvo: MAgic Missile! Heronius_Barvo: to his face. Thorn: Ace, you aren't here, also you have no tongue. Ace_Justice: oh yeah Heronius_Barvo: when we get near enough, scorchin burst to blow the track out. Ace_Justice: do a rad jump random_kid: You blast the kid out of the cart random_kid: He screams off into the sunset random_kid: You're approaching the height of the track now random_kid: This would be the place to do a rad jump Thorn: Oooooh. Heronius_Barvo: As we reach the peak Heronius_Barvo: I do a rad explosion beneath and behind our little car. Heronius_Barvo: Propelling us toward our shuttles. Ace_Justice: 1d20 explosions Fortuna: Ace_Justice, explosions: [11] = 11 Thorn: Ace, no, bad Ace. random_kid: YOU DON'T ROLL random_kid: 1d20 big explosions Fortuna: random_kid, big explosions: [17] = 17 random_kid: You succeed random_kid: Now you need to roll a coolness check random_kid: So you don't look Thorn: Any modifiers?

Thorn: Towards the shuttles I believe. random_kid: Hmmmm random_kid: I'm trying to figure out what you would roll to alter the course Brigsby: Arcana? Ace_Justice: I'm pretty sure that is physically impossible random_kid: I suppose it would be arcana Ace_Justice: maybe arcana to boost them in one direction with magic Thorn: Shush Ace. Heronius_Barvo: 1d20+16 Fortuna: Heronius_Barvo, 1d20+16: [2] = 18 Ace_Justice: like what I did on the mountain Heronius_Barvo: reroll! Heronius_Barvo: 1d20+16 Fortuna: Heronius_Barvo, 1d20+16: [7] = 23 random_kid: SUCCESS random_kid: You arc towards the shuttles random_kid: and then slam into one Heronius_Barvo: Here we are. Valet: "What the heck!" Thorn: I wonder if the others are having as good a time as us. Ace_Justice: Nope Ace_Justice: We are playing on stage for our lives Thorn: Tot he security tower, fast! Heronius_Barvo: Hello. Thorn: "To the security tower, fast!" Heronius_Barvo: What he said. Valet: "I- What?" Heronius_Barvo: this is an emergency. Heronius_Barvo: GO Now! Valet: "Okay okay!" Valet: "Get in the shuttle." Heronius_Barvo: pile in Thorn: Same. Valet: And off it goes Valet: Over the ocean Valet: In the distance you can see the security tower Valet: The valet picks up his radio Valet: "This is the LTV Space Limo requesting permission to enter your air space." Thorn: "Remember, this is an emergency." Valet: "My passengers say it's an emergency." Valet: You can hear the other operator say something Valet: "He wants to know what the emergency is" Heronius_Barvo: It is a matter of ELVEN DIGNITY Thorn: We dare not share the information with any but the second in command on our master's ship. Valet: "It's a matter of elven dignity." Valet: ... Valet: "Yes sir I know." Valet: "He says he can't let us through." Heronius_Barvo: why not? Valet: "Why not?" Valet: ... Valet: "Protocol." Heronius_Barvo: Give me that radio! Valet: You grab the radio Valet: "Who is this!" Heronius_Barvo: Listen here, you sniveling piece of low ranking military trash. Heronius_Barvo: we are representatives of the honorable commander (erthras?) Security_Guy: Close enough Heronius_Barvo: And you will let us through, or the entire might of the elven navy shall come down upon your head! Heronius_Barvo: Do you understand me!? Security_Guy: "The commander has no authority over this post." Security_Guy: "State your business." Thorn: "We must contact his ship at once." Security_Guy: "The commander can contact the ship himself." Heronius_Barvo: The commander is in an important meeting. Heronius_Barvo: and cannot concern himself with the likes of you. Security_Guy: "Well that is his problem. He has no authority over this post." Heronius_Barvo: (thorn, get some intimidate on this.) Thorn: "You will let us land!" Thorn: 1d20+12 Fortuna: Thorn, 1d20+12: [7] = 19 Thorn: Well crud. Security_Guy: "No. Protocol demands that your commander be present." Heronius_Barvo: I try a bit of diplomacy Heronius_Barvo: 1d20+10 Fortuna: Heronius_Barvo, 1d20+10: [14] = 24 Heronius_Barvo: Our commander is unable to be present. Heronius_Barvo: please just make an exception this one time. Heronius_Barvo: your rewars will be great Security_Guy: The security guy sighs Security_Guy: "Fine." Security_Guy: "You are cleared to land." Heronius_Barvo: Thank you. Security_Guy: So you land on a small island with a large tower Thorn: Apparently my intimidation is less in my voice and more in my demeanor. Heronius_Barvo: Travel up the tower. Security_Guy: "Now then. What message do you wish to convey." Heronius_Barvo: Well you see... Heronius_Barvo: FIRE TO HIS FACE11 Heronius_Barvo: !! Security_Guy: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"" Security_Guy: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" Security_Guy: He runs around screaming and topples off the balcony Thorn: "This job is awesome." Heronius_Barvo: "Indeed." Heronius_Barvo: Get to the controls. Ace_Justice: Well, it all went to hell Heronius_Barvo: for you maybe. Ace_Justice: and we can blame lucas Thorn: "So, I'm thinking we try and get the elven battleships to start shooting at eachother, except for ours perhaps." Thorn: Wait. Thorn: What is the status on the general's ship? Thorn: That has to be a nice ship. Security_Guy: You don't know Thorn: We're at the controls, lets look it up. Computer: "How may I help you?" Thorn: "Status on General Amaraer's vessel please." Brigsby: we're busting out of there, so whatever you're doing, make it snappy Heronius_Barvo: we are at the controls Heronius_Barvo: just let us work. Computer: "Classified Information." Heronius_Barvo: Maximum clearance override! Computer: "Classified Information." Heronius_Barvo: Computer, status of all vessels accessible with current security clearance. Computer: "Current Security Clearence: Civilian. You are privileged to public knowledge of vessels. Which vessel would you like information on?" Thorn: Largest class ship currently in orbit over the planet please. Computer: "The Largest ship currently in orbit is the HMS Zaonna- Royal Keeper in Common Tongue. It's commander is General Amaraer. It possesses considerable fire power." Heronius_Barvo: How can we take over this computer? Computer: "Impossible. Lowly non elvish races such as yourselves are inferior to all things." Thorn: "Even their computers have attitude. Thorn: " Heronius_Barvo: That was not a question for the computer. Heronius_Barvo: just the DM Heronius_Barvo: what kind of check? Computer: Hmmmm Thorn: Arcana maybe? That's what they use for ships. Thorn: Why not for other stuff? Computer: I must confer Lucas_Strongbow: destroy their ships, stick to the on we have. And then FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SEND US AN ESCAPE CRAFT Heronius_Barvo: We are trying Brigsby: You can probably see the fire from the tower, just for RP's sake Computer: I'm talking with Ig Heronius_Barvo: to get control over things Heronius_Barvo: I am pleased with the fire. Heronius_Barvo: we are only slightly behind schedule. Thorn: And they're slightly ahead. Computer: Alright Computer: You can but it takes multiple checks. You can do arcana, thievery, maybe social skills. Heronius_Barvo: alrighty Heronius_Barvo: one arcana for me Heronius_Barvo: one thievery for thorn Heronius_Barvo: then we shall see Heronius_Barvo: 1d20+16 Fortuna: Heronius_Barvo, 1d20+16: [16] = 32 Thorn: 1d20+12 Thievery Fortuna: Thorn, Thievery: [13] = 25 Ace_Justice: huh Igfig: The security tower has pretty good security, oddly enough Computer: "Clearence upgraded. You now have access to communications." Heronius_Barvo: perfect Heronius_Barvo: contact our ship, get the shuttle launched. Computer: "Please state the name of your ship." Lucas_Strongbow: PLEASE Brigsby: ...shit Thorn: Hey, we have access to communications, can we shut off all off the planet communications? Igfig: hahaha did you seriously not check what this ship was called Computer: hahahaha Computer: This is hilarious Heronius_Barvo: it was c something Computer: I told them the name of the ship.

Heronius_Barvo: also, get the - quiet dave- get the battlechip ready for departure. Alek: "DAVE go get the shuttle launched please." Alek: "Yes sir." DAVE_THE_ROBOT: DAVE WILL LAUNCH THE SHUTTLE Heronius_Barvo: okay, we are going to start sending out fake calls to the other ships Heronius_Barvo: trying to get them to start fighting each other. Heronius_Barvo: if anyone calls you, tell them the general's ship has gone rogue. Heronius_Barvo: end call. Heronius_Barvo: Next Heronius_Barvo: call each ship we know on the record. DAVE_THE_ROBOT: ... is DAVE flying the shuttle down there? Because he isn't that good at acrobatics Computer: Smash into the building DAVE_THE_ROBOT: Acrobatics check to fly the ship to the mansion, I guess Computer: You only know the general's ship Heronius_Barvo: Call it. DAVE_THE_ROBOT: 1d20+5 Acrobatics Fortuna: DAVE_THE_ROBOT, Acrobatics: [12] = 17 Heronius_Barvo: We have the public records. Computer: Into the other chat Heronius_Barvo: of the other ships in the area. Computer: Dave goes that is DAVE_THE_ROBOT: I'm guessing I succeeded?

You aren't elven." Heronius_Barvo: Oh Gods! Heronius_Barvo: There has been an insurrection Heronius_Barvo: Several of the generals are defecting. Heronius_Barvo: they are questioning the authority of the great general aemurar Acting_Captain: "Who are you. State your name." Heronius_Barvo: (shit) Thorn: "We were the only ones to be spared, the superior elves are all being called for the fight." Heronius_Barvo: I am but a lowly servant of his grace commander elthas Thorn: "We are but lowly lower races sir, not worthy of our names." Heronius_Barvo: we were sent from the tumult to bring you our message. Heronius_Barvo: I fear for the safety of the most glorious general. Heronius_Barvo: (turn the camera to show the fires.) Heronius_Barvo: look! Heronius_Barvo: the devastation is horrible. Acting_Captain: You hear a beep Heronius_Barvo: soon, the other generals will mount their battleships and attempt most horrid destruction. Acting_Captain: "Incoming call from DEFENSE TURRETS" Acting_Captain: "I'm not buying it." Heronius_Barvo: buying what? Heronius_Barvo: can't you see the fires! Acting_Captain: "If you were sent from the Gala, then where is the security operator hmmm>" Heronius_Barvo: he has been killed! Heronius_Barvo: assassinated in the uprising. Thorn: "We were followed by insurrectionists." Thorn: "He died, to save us, an honor we did not deserve." Acting_Captain: "And how do I know that you didn't kill him! I'm hanging up now and summonin gthe main fleet." Heronius_Barvo: we had to dispatch the horrid creatures that were sent here. Acting_Captain: *beep* Heronius_Barvo: dammit. Thorn: "Well fuck."

Heronius_Barvo: ? turrets: "We have detected a launch from the HMS [ship name that I can't remember] turrets: "Shall we target and destroy?" turrets: That's your ship Heronius_Barvo: negative Heronius_Barvo: that is friendly craft Thorn: "Those are reinforcements en route." Heronius_Barvo: for emergency evacuation Heronius_Barvo: also reinforcement turrets: "Standing down." turrets: The coml ine goes down Heronius_Barvo: but certainly evacuation of VIPs Heronius_Barvo: so what other ships can we see? turrets: Into the other chat Thorn: Alright then.
