  1. Jan 05 20:13:57 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7yy8iZunoU
  2. Jan 05 20:14:55 <StarmanTheta> Last time, our heroes bid farewell to a friend, but hello to another. In their respite at the small hamlet, they came across an eevee by the name of Kailee who was being pursued by more of Fang's goons.
  3. Jan 05 20:16:56 <StarmanTheta> After a brief battle, the pursuers were defeated and Kailee joined up with the group, but a more daunting task laid ahead. Having learned that the pokemon hellbent on slaying them all had holed up in Blossom Grove--their previous hope of safe haven--the heroes set about a daring plan.
  4. Jan 05 20:18:11 <StarmanTheta> Heading towards the town, they sought to disrupt the mightyena's information network by abducting his adviser, a fennekin oracle. Through a combination of stealth, coordination, daring, and dumb luck, they were able to abscond with the fennekin to the angered howls of Fang
  5. Jan 05 20:18:59 <StarmanTheta> But they're not safe yet. It's only a matter of time before Fang and his goons catch up. The party must keep running for now, hoping that they may engage him somewhere to their liking. But who can tell?
  6. Jan 05 20:19:03 <StarmanTheta> So this is where we resume
  7. Jan 05 20:19:46 <StarmanTheta> Shouts and cries clamor in the distance as you make a break from Blossom Grove! With you, is a very very scared and uncooperative fennekin!
  8. Jan 05 20:19:50 <StarmanTheta> What're you guys gonna do?
  9. Jan 05 20:20:17 * Scabbard is huffing as he runs ahead. "Need... to find... a place... to hide..."
  10. Jan 05 20:20:43 <Kailee> "Alright, is there anyplace around here that's safe?" she asks as she follows behind.
  11. Jan 05 20:20:48 * Arthur- realizes the possible consequences of this daring plan and is constantly looking over his shoulder to spot any pursuers or other trouble. "K-keep running, I guess?!"
  12. Jan 05 20:20:55 * Getter looks about them. It is night after all. "A place to hide as well as wash away the scent we have. Were rivers a thing in this area it would be a keen idea."
  13. Jan 05 20:21:25 <StarmanTheta> Survival or ed general?
  14. Jan 05 20:21:33 <Carbink> "No! Don't go to the river! They will know we plan to go to the river and get rid of our scent!"
  15. Jan 05 20:21:39 <Scabbard> 3d6+3
  16. Jan 05 20:21:39 <CritSenpai> 3d6+3: 9 [3d6=4,1,1]
  17. Jan 05 20:21:43 <Scabbard> (Survival)
  18. Jan 05 20:22:17 <Arthur-> "What if they known that we know that they know, Carbin?"
  19. Jan 05 20:22:31 <Carbink> "The fennekin might know."
  20. Jan 05 20:22:51 <Carbink> "Ah, let's the dark type decide then!"
  21. Jan 05 20:23:17 <StarmanTheta> Scabbard thinks someplace out of the open air would be a good place to hide, in case there's fliers. But where?
  22. Jan 05 20:23:31 <Kailee> "I vote river. Doubtful they're already at the river ahead and it's not like they'll have an easy time finding us after we're gone from it."
  23. Jan 05 20:23:40 <Scabbard> "Need to find some place out of the open... fliers..."
  24. Jan 05 20:23:41 <Arthur-> "I t-think she's got her hands full with keeping the Fennekin occupied."
  25. Jan 05 20:23:59 <Scabbard> "River would leave us open to Water types! We need someplace sheltered! A cave! A building!"
  26. Jan 05 20:24:00 <Arthur-> "Back in the woods, I guess? But they could probably follow a trail through the woods..."
  27. Jan 05 20:24:16 <StarmanTheta> The fennekin is currently biting and trashing in Alma's grip, but the sneasel seems to have it under control
  28. Jan 05 20:24:25 <StarmanTheta> Well
  29. Jan 05 20:24:28 <Kailee> "That's why we leave the river afterwards. The first step is to make sure they can't follow us to our hiding place."
  30. Jan 05 20:24:50 <Carbink> (How far is the place where we make trap holes?)
  31. Jan 05 20:24:56 <StarmanTheta> It's pretty far away
  32. Jan 05 20:25:07 <StarmanTheta> It would be a long run to get there.
  33. Jan 05 20:25:21 <Arthur-> I'm assuming there are no convenient rivers nearby.
  34. Jan 05 20:25:41 <StarmanTheta> Joseph is panting but keeping up with you all. Helps to have a long stride, but he's checking his pokedex as he does. "Let's see...huff...I think there's...yes, this should do perfectly!"
  35. Jan 05 20:26:12 <Arthur-> Does anything at all stick out about the landscape, apart from the forest and Blossom Grove?
  36. Jan 05 20:29:14 <StarmanTheta> Pulling up the map function as he runs, he taps on something. "This route...huff...it leads to a main road...huff...that was use for commerce! There's a tunnel...huff...we might be able to hide there..." He pants a few times to catch his breath. "I think there's...huff...a stream on the way?"
  37. Jan 05 20:30:14 <Carbink> "No better choice! Go, go, go!"
  38. Jan 05 20:30:49 <Getter> "Indeed, and if nothing else...a tunnel works far better as a funnel."
  39. Jan 05 20:31:33 <Arthur-> "Hustle! Just, uh, let's... oh god, we'll be cornered, but..."
  40. Jan 05 20:31:53 <Kailee> "Sounds perfect! We can set up traps in case they show up behindus."
  41. Jan 05 20:32:02 <StarmanTheta> "It...huff...should be j ust this way!" He points through underbrush, but at least it's got a canopy of trees to protect from the prying eyes of flying types. True to the map, as you crash through, you eventually come across a small stream. Not terribly big, but enough to wash the scent off you.
  42. Jan 05 20:33:17 * Scabbard dives in to wash off his scent.
  43. Jan 05 20:33:45 * Kailee frowns before running into the stream,allowing the water to wash over her. After a moment, she walks out from the other side, shaking her fur to get the water off, "Alright, to the tunnel!"
  44. Jan 05 20:33:51 * Arthur- stares blankly for a moment before realizing. "Oh! I guess it's kind of like a bath."
  45. Jan 05 20:33:57 * Carbink splashes in water.
  46. Jan 05 20:34:16 <Scabbard> "Don't soak the girl!"
  47. Jan 05 20:34:52 <Carbink> "Why?"
  48. Jan 05 20:35:10 <Arthur-> "She's a fire type, Carbin! We didn't kidnap her to kill her!"
  49. Jan 05 20:35:24 <StarmanTheta> Joseph shudders as he runs in--the water only comes up to about his waist so he has to duck down to get the rest of him. Alma, on the other hand, has no such reservations. The fennekin protests loudly at this, but is cut short as Alma quickly dunks her under and keeps it moving.
  50. Jan 05 20:35:34 <Carbink> "She will die at the touch of water?"
  51. Jan 05 20:35:40 <StarmanTheta> The fennekin sputters and looks dazed, but other than that she's fine.
  52. Jan 05 20:35:41 <Arthur-> "I... guess not!"
  53. Jan 05 20:35:48 <Kailee> "Of course not! It'll just be uncomfortable!"
  54. Jan 05 20:35:54 <StarmanTheta> "Don't worry, she'll be fine. Let's go!" Joseph cries
  55. Jan 05 20:35:56 <StarmanTheta> by the way
  56. Jan 05 20:36:02 <StarmanTheta> could you all give me athletics checks?
  57. Jan 05 20:36:09 <Arthur-> 2d6
  58. Jan 05 20:36:09 <CritSenpai> 2d6: 9 [2d6=5,4]
  59. Jan 05 20:36:20 <Carbink> 4d6+2
  60. Jan 05 20:36:20 <CritSenpai> 4d6+2: 16 [4d6=2,3,5,4]
  61. Jan 05 20:36:22 <Kailee> 2d6 runnin'
  62. Jan 05 20:36:22 <CritSenpai> runnin': 10 [2d6=5,5]
  63. Jan 05 20:36:27 * Getter simply jumps and then walks out the other side.
  64. Jan 05 20:36:32 <Getter> 2d6+2
  65. Jan 05 20:36:32 <CritSenpai> 2d6+2: 13 [2d6=5,6]
  66. Jan 05 20:36:46 <Getter> woops looked at the wrong thing.
  67. Jan 05 20:36:52 * Arthur- nervously peaks into the tunnel, looking for rogue bugs and other unpleasantries
  68. Jan 05 20:36:54 <Getter> 3d6+2
  69. Jan 05 20:36:54 <CritSenpai> 3d6+2: 18 [3d6=6,6,4]
  70. Jan 05 20:36:57 <Arthur-> (peeks)
  71. Jan 05 20:36:59 * Getter needs to GET IT TOGETHER.
  72. Jan 05 20:40:39 <StarmanTheta> You run on and on and on, underneath the starlit sky. You eventually come to a road, much bigger than the one near the Verdant Cafe, though still as dilapidated. It seems like it was used as a big thoroughfare. But racing along the treeline just out of view of the sky, you come across...what luck, it seems like it cuts through a tunnel in a large, sharp hill!
  73. Jan 05 20:42:28 * Arthur- is still looking over his shoulder constantly but is otherwise following the group's lead
  74. Jan 05 20:42:47 <StarmanTheta> Joseph runs to the entrance, beckoning you all in. "Come on, hurry, hurry!"
  75. Jan 05 20:42:48 <Scabbard> "This way!"
  76. Jan 05 20:43:30 <Carbink> "Don't stop! We are almost there!"
  77. Jan 05 20:43:51 * Getter runs in very quickly looking about the cave, up down...all around...just checking the place out.
  78. Jan 05 20:44:09 * Kailee runs into the cave, past the human. She stops herself, panting heavily, "O... okay..."
  79. Jan 05 20:45:12 * Arthur- picks up the pace at seeing the others run in
  80. Jan 05 20:46:04 <StarmanTheta> The cave is...pretty dark! Some emergency lights still function, giving parts of the tunnel a pale sad glow, but for the most part illumination is pretty much gone.
  81. Jan 05 20:47:30 <Arthur-> Does the fennekin provide enough illumination to be used as a torch?
  82. Jan 05 20:47:37 <Getter> "Hmm...I wonder how long these lights will last...and how long they've lasted already?"
  83. Jan 05 20:48:17 <Kailee> "Probably not long. we should secure the perimeter, set up some traps outside in case the legion makes it here as well."
  84. Jan 05 20:48:26 <StarmanTheta> Fennekin does not have the glow capability though
  85. Jan 05 20:48:45 <Arthur-> Curses.
  86. Jan 05 20:49:09 <Arthur-> "We could construct, uh, what're they called... battlements! And post someone to keep watch while we get the fox to talk, maybe?"
  87. Jan 05 20:49:14 <StarmanTheta> Alma is having no problem at all seeing. Anyone else with darkvision would be fine
  88. Jan 05 20:49:30 <StarmanTheta> Well you're just in the entrance to the tunnel. You'd have to go deeper in
  89. Jan 05 20:49:38 <StarmanTheta> before posting battlements
  90. Jan 05 20:49:45 <Scabbard> "...We don't have time. And we have no idea where these tunnels go..."
  91. Jan 05 20:49:51 <Carbink> "Sounds like a plan, but we should get deeper."
  92. Jan 05 20:50:17 <StarmanTheta> also if you have any sort of illumination, that also helps. The pokedexes have a basic flashlight app but it kinda sucks
  93. Jan 05 20:50:41 * Scabbard is not a lightning bug.
  94. Jan 05 20:50:59 <Arthur-> "In we go, then!"
  95. Jan 05 20:51:10 <Kailee> "Exactly. Once we know we're safe, we can make sure that we stay safe whiletalking to the Fennekin." she follows behind the group.
  96. Jan 05 20:51:11 * Getter reaches into his tatters and his scarf pulling out a pair of goggles and places them on. Darkvision goggles. "If nothing else...it is very dark...its better then nothing."
  97. Jan 05 20:51:54 <StarmanTheta> Joseph leans against a wall, trying to catch his breath. After a few seconds, he adjusts his glasses. "That sounds like a plan. A substation or something would be our best bet."
  98. Jan 05 20:52:08 <StarmanTheta> The fennekin is still struggling with Alma
  99. Jan 05 20:52:58 <Carbink> "hmm, I should drill some random holes around to create some rough terrain for our pursuers."
  100. Jan 05 20:52:59 * Arthur- has no idea where he's going and stumbles around, eventually finding Getter. "W-would you mind if I held onto to you?"
  101. Jan 05 20:53:47 <StarmanTheta> And you all head deeper within the tunnel. Your pokedex flashlights kinda suck, but they're enough for now. The place is littered with debris and cars either wrecked or abandoned. On some of the walls, graffiti from a time long past stands like some sort of bizarre mural.
  102. Jan 05 20:54:12 <Arthur-> 2d6+3 general to see if I recognize it
  103. Jan 05 20:54:12 <CritSenpai> general to see if I recognize it: 9 [2d6=1,5]
  104. Jan 05 20:54:16 * Getter places a hand on Arthur's side. "I would not at all friend."
  105. Jan 05 20:54:39 <StarmanTheta> Can't really tell. Probably just like gang signs or something.
  106. Jan 05 20:54:55 * Scabbard looks at the grafitti.
  107. Jan 05 20:54:59 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt8rixyjp6I
  108. Jan 05 20:55:27 <Scabbard> "What is this place?"
  109. Jan 05 20:55:36 <StarmanTheta> looks something like http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_duXLDL63uvg/TKC_mx4k9WI/AAAAAAAAAkA/IQBrKFGdMAk/s1600/tunnel-graffiti.jpg
  110. Jan 05 20:55:47 <StarmanTheta> Anyway, perception checks if you would
  111. Jan 05 20:55:58 * Getter looks about "A relic of the past...man made most likely."
  112. Jan 05 20:56:04 <Scabbard> 2d6
  113. Jan 05 20:56:05 <CritSenpai> 2d6: 8 [2d6=3,5]
  114. Jan 05 20:56:07 <Carbink> 2d6
  115. Jan 05 20:56:07 <CritSenpai> 2d6: 8 [2d6=2,6]
  116. Jan 05 20:56:08 <Arthur-> 2d6+3
  117. Jan 05 20:56:08 <CritSenpai> 2d6+3: 9 [2d6=2,4]
  118. Jan 05 20:56:17 <Getter> 1d6+1
  119. Jan 05 20:56:17 <CritSenpai> 1d6+1: 4 [1d6=3]
  120. Jan 05 20:56:18 <Kailee> 3d6+2
  121. Jan 05 20:56:18 <CritSenpai> 3d6+2: 17 [3d6=4,5,6]
  122. Jan 05 20:56:34 <Carbink> (4,5,6)
  123. Jan 05 20:56:36 <Kailee> (That'd be great if it weren't for the fact I can barely see)
  124. Jan 05 20:56:45 * Scabbard is trying to resist the urge the comfort the struggling Fennekin. This... whole experience is giving him an uncomfortable sense of Deja Vu.
  125. Jan 05 20:57:06 <Carbink> (nam flashback?)
  126. Jan 05 20:57:30 <StarmanTheta> Through your various searching, Kailee stumbles across something on one of the walls. Blowing the dust off of it, it is, on closer inspection, a general map of this stretch of tunnel. It seems like there's a rather large underpass, and it intersects in a couple ways--looks like there's more than one road in and out of this place
  127. Jan 05 20:58:05 <StarmanTheta> It marks out a few maintenance stations too.
  128. Jan 05 20:58:12 * Kailee studies the map for a moment, "G-guys, I think I found something that could help us!"
  129. Jan 05 20:59:02 * Getter looks on. "What is it Kailee? "
  130. Jan 05 20:59:06 <Carbink> "Great! What is it?"
  131. Jan 05 20:59:15 * Arthur- perks up expectantly
  132. Jan 05 20:59:20 <Kailee> "A map of the series of tunnels, it seems."
  133. Jan 05 20:59:51 <Scabbard> "Is there a place we can hide?"
  134. Jan 05 21:00:25 * Arthur- makes a note to come back and see if any of this tech could be salvaged or repurposed in some way. "Maybe in one of these side room things?"
  135. Jan 05 21:00:25 <Kailee> "Erm..." she says as she attempts to figure out a safe location in the tunnels.
  136. Jan 05 21:00:30 <Carbink> "Or ambush?"
  137. Jan 05 21:00:36 <Kailee> 1d6 This'll go great.
  138. Jan 05 21:00:36 <CritSenpai> This'll go great.: 5 [1d6=5]
  139. Jan 05 21:02:27 <StarmanTheta> what were you rolling?
  140. Jan 05 21:02:43 <Kailee> (Oh survival. Thought I mentioned that)
  141. Jan 05 21:02:52 <StarmanTheta> and in the cars, there's plenty of various whatnot. They are cars, so you could dismantle them I guess.
  142. Jan 05 21:03:29 <StarmanTheta> Kailee thinks maybe a side room? But she's not entirely sure which one would be the best fortified...hard to tell. from the map.
  143. Jan 05 21:03:35 <StarmanTheta> Maybe someone could assist her?
  144. Jan 05 21:03:38 * Scabbard can!
  145. Jan 05 21:03:42 <Scabbard> 3d6+3
  146. Jan 05 21:03:43 <CritSenpai> 3d6+3: 17 [3d6=5,6,3]
  147. Jan 05 21:03:50 * Arthur- rummages around for anything useful or scrap metals. He's no good at this hiding place stuff.
  148. Jan 05 21:03:57 <Kailee> "Seems there are a few siderooms, but it's hard to tell in this light. Can someone else take a look at it?"
  149. Jan 05 21:04:15 * Scabbard holds up his DexLight to the map.
  150. Jan 05 21:05:16 <StarmanTheta> Scabbard thinks one of the maintenance rooms is out of the way enough to hide and has an easily dependable entrance and one for egress. Might be good to stay there.
  151. Jan 05 21:05:26 <StarmanTheta> Studying the map, he uploads a copy to his Pokedex
  152. Jan 05 21:05:55 <Scabbard> "...Here. Easily defendable exit, hard to notice exit so we can escape."
  153. Jan 05 21:06:36 * Kailee nods, "Alright, so that's our best option. Let's hurry up and get there."
  154. Jan 05 21:06:41 <Carbink> "... Hmm, okay. I can dig a hole at the entrance then."
  155. Jan 05 21:07:04 <Arthur-> "I trust you guys, let's get going."
  156. Jan 05 21:07:32 <Scabbard> "This way!"
  157. Jan 05 21:07:40 * Scabbard leads the way, with his map's help.
  158. Jan 05 21:07:54 <StarmanTheta> You all bustle along, towards where the map points. Along the way there's plenty more cars, as well as some parts of the roof that have started to break apart, though thankfully it seems stable enough
  159. Jan 05 21:08:00 <StarmanTheta> Arthur could you give me a technology check?
  160. Jan 05 21:08:06 <Arthur-> 4d6+3
  161. Jan 05 21:08:06 <CritSenpai> 4d6+3: 14 [4d6=1,4,5,1]
  162. Jan 05 21:08:30 <StarmanTheta> 1d2+2
  163. Jan 05 21:08:31 <CritSenpai> 1d2+2: 3 [1d2=1]
  164. Jan 05 21:09:41 <StarmanTheta> Along the way, rummaging through the cars, you obtain about 700 poke in scrap from electronics and stuff like radios, GPS's, and other appliances. You also come across a half-spent super potion and two unused road flares
  165. Jan 05 21:11:09 <StarmanTheta> Eventually, you come across a door marked "no-entry" but, well, who gives a crap about that now? Pushing inside, the room is chilly and mostly concrete, with a rag tag mattress and a pile of assorted trash in the corner of the room and various meters and maintenance devices on the far side.
  166. Jan 05 21:11:36 <StarmanTheta> Another door lays in the opposite corner. It's spacious enough to sit down, and there's a stack of pallets
  167. Jan 05 21:11:45 <Scabbard> "...Does... someone live here?"
  168. Jan 05 21:12:55 <StarmanTheta> Doesn't look like anyone's been here for awhile
  169. Jan 05 21:13:11 <Arthur-> "I hope not... It'd be really rude considering the guests we might have soon."
  170. Jan 05 21:13:19 * Getter goes and places his paw upon the mattress seemingly testing it a moment. "Hmm...We could use this the bar the door, if only a little."
  171. Jan 05 21:13:25 <Carbink> "I will lock the door."
  172. Jan 05 21:13:35 <Scabbard> "Arthur, how long will a barrier hold up?"
  173. Jan 05 21:13:38 * Kailee glances around, "Alright, everyone do a quick scan of the surroundings. Then we'll get to talking with... her."
  174. Jan 05 21:13:48 <Scabbard> "...She has a name."
  175. Jan 05 21:14:13 <Arthur-> "Against a concentrated attack? Probably not too long, but we would get plenty of advance warning."
  176. Jan 05 21:14:34 <Kailee> "I had assumed so. Not that I'd know it. We'll get acquainted in a moment."
  177. Jan 05 21:14:35 * Scabbard looks for things to help block the door, or to set traps with.
  178. Jan 05 21:14:53 <Carbink> "I will dig a hole in front of the door too."
  179. Jan 05 21:15:04 <StarmanTheta> There's the mattress and the pallets. A small tool chest on wheels, a chair...
  180. Jan 05 21:15:09 * Arthur- waits until other junk has been placed in front of the door. Once that's happened he boxes it in with a barrier.
  181. Jan 05 21:15:19 <Scabbard> (Cover it with an old box or pallet?))
  182. Jan 05 21:15:38 <Carbink> (Cardboard box would do just fine in this darkness, probably)
  183. Jan 05 21:16:03 <Arthur-> (But we need the cardboard box for our stealth missions in the future! Use a pallet!)
  184. Jan 05 21:16:35 * Carbink use a weakened pallet as cover.
  185. Jan 05 21:17:03 * Kailee waits for a few moments until she walks over to Alma and the Finnekin, "Erm... I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry for this. Are... are you hurt at all?" she asks the fire-type.
  186. Jan 05 21:17:04 * Arthur- props up the chair against the doorknob or whatever is used to open and close the door.
  187. Jan 05 21:18:43 <StarmanTheta> Alma has finally had enough of being bit, and unceremoniously plops the fennekin down as she goes to lick her bites. The fennekin gets to her feet, arching her back as if you spew flame at you all...but seeing as she's outnumbered 7-1, she quickly reconsiders this and sighs hopefully.

  189. Jan 05 21:18:51 <StarmanTheta> *hopelessly
  190. Jan 05 21:18:54 * Scabbard looks through the chest. He has no idea of what is inside, but...
  191. Jan 05 21:19:01 <StarmanTheta> "It is over. I am finished. I never expected it to end like this."
  192. Jan 05 21:19:03 <Scabbard> "...Arthur, can you use any of this?"
  193. Jan 05 21:19:11 <Scabbard> "..."
  194. Jan 05 21:19:19 * Scabbard looks up from the chest. "...We're not going to harm you."
  195. Jan 05 21:19:30 * Getter just sits on the mattress mostly and thinks. He says to the girl "You are not dead or mad yet, so it is not over."
  196. Jan 05 21:19:34 <Kailee> "It's true. I don't want to see anyone get hurt, not even you."
  197. Jan 05 21:19:56 * Arthur- takes a look, making note of anything useful before starting to study the Fennekin closely. Noting how she speaks, scrutinizing her in the event she lies. "It's true! We just didn't want to, uh, d-die. Y'know?"
  198. Jan 05 21:19:57 <Getter> "In truth. We only wish to talk..."
  199. Jan 05 21:20:04 * Scabbard decides he can't make sense of the metal bits and also sits down.
  200. Jan 05 21:22:14 <StarmanTheta> The fennekin looks like, despite her current situation, she has been grooming herself quite well, something you'd expect more out of those books of pokemon contests than most pokemon you've encountered--for instance, her ear fur is braided like pigtails. About her head, she wears a fancy cyane circlet.
  201. Jan 05 21:22:34 * Kailee takes the opportunity to look over the Fennekin, ensuring she wasn't harmed during their travels, "Well, let's start with your name. Mind telling us?"
  202. Jan 05 21:22:46 <StarmanTheta> She brings a paw to her forehead in an overly dramatic swoon and speaks with a despairing, though somewhat noble, voice
  203. Jan 05 21:23:39 <StarmanTheta> "My name is Serenade, and oh! To think it would end like this! Even if you do not kill me, I fear it only a matter of time before that fool Fang...oh, what am I to do?"
  204. Jan 05 21:24:11 <Kailee> "Why would Fang do anything to you? You'd think he'd want you back, right?"
  205. Jan 05 21:24:23 <Arthur-> 4d6+2 intuition
  206. Jan 05 21:24:23 <CritSenpai> intuition: 13 [4d6=2,4,2,3]
  207. Jan 05 21:24:39 <Getter> "The world is a very different place. One patch of dirt is no different from another. Simply choose a direction and walk...or follow the light that splits the sky."
  208. Jan 05 21:24:45 * Kailee clears her throat, "Oh, sorry, I forgot to give my name as well. I'm Kailee."
  209. Jan 05 21:25:06 <Carbink> 3d6+3 intuition
  210. Jan 05 21:25:07 <CritSenpai> intuition: 13 [3d6=4,1,5]
  211. Jan 05 21:25:14 <StarmanTheta> It seems like she's sincere in thinking she's up shit creek without a paddle, though she seems...slightly relieved.
  212. Jan 05 21:25:18 <Scabbard> 3d6+2 intuiton
  213. Jan 05 21:25:19 <CritSenpai> intuiton: 15 [3d6=5,6,2]
  214. Jan 05 21:25:29 <Getter> "But....if you too consider fang a fool. Why give him what you did?"
  215. Jan 05 21:25:38 <Scabbard> "...I'm not going to let that idiot kill you, if I can help it."
  216. Jan 05 21:25:45 <Carbink> "Tell us your story."
  217. Jan 05 21:26:00 <StarmanTheta> When Getter says this, she looks at him curiously. "You follow the light that splits the sky? Oh, the tragedy! Truly, this is an unbearable irony!"
  218. Jan 05 21:26:41 <Getter> "What are you talking about?" he asks his interests peaked.
  219. Jan 05 21:27:06 <Arthur-> "..?
  220. Jan 05 21:28:10 <StarmanTheta> She sighs, sitting on her haunches. "Very well. My story starts far to the southwest, through the emerald lands to a land lush with life. And in that land! The clan from which I hail..." She seems to speak both with wistfulness and annoyance. "Those fools! Passing me up for that pampered brat! Why, I was the most brilliant fortune teller! Sure, my visions were cloudy sometimes, but-"
  221. Jan 05 21:29:11 * Kailee tilts her head slightly as she listens to Serenade's story.
  222. Jan 05 21:29:19 <StarmanTheta> "That was no reason to scorn me so! Why, that brat only had the position he has because of his father, and he--! Oooh, just thinking about it incenses me to no end!" and to punctuate the point, she spews a small ember upon the ground.
  223. Jan 05 21:29:22 <StarmanTheta> Intuition please
  224. Jan 05 21:29:31 <Arthur-> (from everyone?)
  225. Jan 05 21:29:35 * Scabbard instinctively recoils from the ember.
  226. Jan 05 21:29:35 <StarmanTheta> if you want
  227. Jan 05 21:29:42 <Arthur-> 4d6+2
  228. Jan 05 21:29:42 <CritSenpai> 4d6+2: 14 [4d6=3,5,3,1]
  229. Jan 05 21:29:43 <Kailee> 3d6+3
  230. Jan 05 21:29:43 <Scabbard> 3d6+2
  231. Jan 05 21:29:43 <CritSenpai> 3d6+3: 12 [3d6=1,2,6]
  232. Jan 05 21:29:44 <CritSenpai> 3d6+2: 12 [3d6=1,4,5]
  233. Jan 05 21:29:56 <Carbink> 3d6+3 intuition
  234. Jan 05 21:29:56 <CritSenpai> intuition: 10 [3d6=4,2,1]
  235. Jan 05 21:30:04 <StarmanTheta> You all get the feeling she's a bit too in love with her own voice and is gonna keep rambling unless you're direct.
  236. Jan 05 21:30:50 * Arthur- glares. "Why did you tell Fang to kill us?"
  237. Jan 05 21:30:56 <Scabbard> "...Miss, your story is tragic and heartbreaking and all, but we don't have a lot of time before..."
  238. Jan 05 21:30:59 <Scabbard> "...That."
  239. Jan 05 21:31:17 <Kailee> "Wait, wait." she interrupts, "Be more specific. Where are you from and who are you talking about?"
  240. Jan 05 21:32:05 * Getter is mystified that such places as she describe are still around...then again all he has really known are the wastes...well, what can be said one would guess.
  241. Jan 05 21:32:10 <Carbink> "We heard that you told Fang that by killing us, he would gain great power or something. We met at the umm... What that place call?"
  242. Jan 05 21:32:45 <Arthur-> "Verdant Cafe, I think."
  243. Jan 05 21:32:52 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STLwWTQ7bwY
  244. Jan 05 21:33:18 <StarmanTheta> "Oh, the humiliation! I was ejected from my clan and...Oh, right right. I was getting to that. Sheesh, you are pushy kidnappers!"
  245. Jan 05 21:34:07 <Kailee> "Just... continue, alright? Try to avoid insignificant details."
  246. Jan 05 21:34:24 <StarmanTheta> Serenade adjusts her ear fur before continuing. "Simply put, I am from a clan of oracles of the Delphox line, yet, sadly, I was deemed only a branch member. Thus infuriated, I set out to put my services to use elsewhere! That is when I discovered..."
  247. Jan 05 21:34:39 <StarmanTheta> She beams with a bit of pride. "That I could see it! That wonderful spark!"
  248. Jan 05 21:35:10 <Scabbard> "...Spark?"
  249. Jan 05 21:35:35 <StarmanTheta> "Ah, but deary me! I wasn't accustomed to the open road, and then I ran into that mightyena..." she spits. "Damnable creature of darkness! If only I could have read him more clearly!"
  250. Jan 05 21:36:01 <StarmanTheta> "He was intent on killing me, but I proposed a deal--I would offer him my oracular services, and he would spare me."
  251. Jan 05 21:36:47 <StarmanTheta> "Of course, I'm flattered that SOMEONE appreciated my talents, even if it was a lowly dark-type" she says, practically glaring at Alma as she speaks, 'But he became incredibly interested when I mentioned I could see those with this Spark"
  252. Jan 05 21:37:08 <Scabbard> "What spark?"
  253. Jan 05 21:37:22 <Arthur-> "... People -with- the spark?"
  254. Jan 05 21:37:31 <Kailee> "Shh. Stop interrupting. Let her get to that."
  255. Jan 05 21:37:38 <StarmanTheta> "I...I didn't quite understand WHY. I'd seen it in a few creatures before, and saw it in him. A sort of...oh, how to describe it! A spark of light, an Essence of spirit! It shone through so lovely!"
  256. Jan 05 21:38:05 <StarmanTheta> "It is the most beautiful thing to behold! Though sadly so rare."
  257. Jan 05 21:38:40 <Carbink> "Does it do anything to the creature with it?"
  258. Jan 05 21:38:48 <Scabbard> "...You're saying... he's after us because of... this spark?"
  259. Jan 05 21:39:12 <StarmanTheta> "And so, he so graciously proposed--by which I mean he threatened my life if I refused--that I use my divinations to find these people with this Essence. I didn't really understand, but I did as he told; it would be a waste for someone like me to die so cruelly slain!"
  260. Jan 05 21:39:21 * Scabbard pats at his chest.
  261. Jan 05 21:39:44 * Arthur- has an expression that is best described as "?????"
  262. Jan 05 21:39:57 * Getter simply stares on. "And that leads to us."
  263. Jan 05 21:40:02 <StarmanTheta> She nods. "I know not what it does, but he wanted to find it. I divined my first user--some poor normal--and Fang went to find him immediately. And then!"
  264. Jan 05 21:40:28 <StarmanTheta> She covers her eyes. "Oh, the horror! I cannot even begin to speak of the things he did to that poor creature! Even now it makes my stomach churn!"
  265. Jan 05 21:41:04 <StarmanTheta> She...actually seems to be trembling. Like legit trembling.
  266. Jan 05 21:41:10 <Kailee> "So you guys have this 'spark' as well then?" she asks the group, "That's why Fang wanted to kill you?"
  267. Jan 05 21:41:21 * Carbink calm Serenade down.
  268. Jan 05 21:41:59 * Kailee turns back towards the Fennekin, "Listen, it'll be okay now. You're safe from the Legion with us. In fact, if you want... I could bring you somehwere where you'll always be safe."
  269. Jan 05 21:42:09 <StarmanTheta> It takes her a second to calm down. "Yes, my apologies. That seems to be what he was after. And when he...well, when he finished the poor thing off, the most curious happening!"
  270. Jan 05 21:42:11 * Scabbard steps over to the Fennekin and sits down. "...I know what he does. And... I won't let it happen to you. I promise."
  271. Jan 05 21:42:39 * Getter remains where he is. He's not seemingly the very cuddly type it seems.
  272. Jan 05 21:44:16 <StarmanTheta> "The light!" she cries out. "Oh, that beautiful Essence, I thought would dull! But when he drew his final breath, it was blinding!"
  273. Jan 05 21:44:26 <StarmanTheta> "Streaking up to the sky!"
  274. Jan 05 21:44:50 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoh-Z_TS_xE
  275. Jan 05 21:45:29 * Arthur- puts a paw to his chin as his jaw drops. "S-so that means, when the light goes across the sky..."
  276. Jan 05 21:45:41 <Scabbard> "...Someone has died..."
  277. Jan 05 21:45:53 <StarmanTheta> "Every one!" she cries. "The birds! The darks! Even the humans! That light shot up to the sky!"
  278. Jan 05 21:46:00 * Getter furrows his brow. "W-what?"
  279. Jan 05 21:46:04 <Carbink> "The light that split open the sky..."
  280. Jan 05 21:46:06 <StarmanTheta> "It was so beautiful, yet so terrifying!"
  281. Jan 05 21:46:44 * Scabbard looks shocked. "But... what... what does that mean? Are they going to Paradise? Or..."
  282. Jan 05 21:46:54 <StarmanTheta> Despite your comforting words, Serenade seems to be shaking again. "It was like...something perverse! I could not explain it!"
  283. Jan 05 21:47:10 <StarmanTheta> "B-but each time, when it was through, that light within Fang..."
  284. Jan 05 21:47:58 <StarmanTheta> Joseph seems at a complete loss for words, his mouth agape and eyes wide.
  285. Jan 05 21:48:33 * Arthur- shakes his head and closes his eyes. "Don't tell us it got brighter. Please don't tell us it got brighter!"
  286. Jan 05 21:49:18 <StarmanTheta> She takes a second to compose herself, if only barely enough to speak. She fearfully nods, and continues, "B-but I got some of them wrong. There were too many humans--I kept messing it up. He was angry at me, and wanted more...I...I saw you all in a vision, and then I..."
  287. Jan 05 21:49:50 * Kailee bites her bottom lip as she anticipates the Fennekin's next words, "G-go on..."
  288. Jan 05 21:50:00 * Scabbard bites down on the edge of one of his scythes. He doesn't... he can't... why...
  289. Jan 05 21:50:21 * Getter seems...unperturbed actually.
  290. Jan 05 21:50:27 <StarmanTheta> "I had to! You see, I'm terribly sorry! I had no choice, I wanted no part in it!"
  291. Jan 05 21:50:53 <Getter> "In this vision you saw of us. What else did you see Serenade?"
  292. Jan 05 21:50:58 <Scabbard> "..."
  293. Jan 05 21:51:04 <Scabbard> "There's no way he's the only one doing this..."
  294. Jan 05 21:51:08 <Kailee> "It's... okay. I can't blame you for any of that. It's Fang that did it."
  295. Jan 05 21:51:10 <Scabbard> "The lights..."
  296. Jan 05 21:51:17 <StarmanTheta> "I saw...all I saw was you converging in that Cafe..."
  297. Jan 05 21:51:24 <Carbink> "Divination is a blessing and a curse."
  298. Jan 05 21:51:24 <Arthur-> "They've been around for longer, right? So..."
  299. Jan 05 21:51:25 <StarmanTheta> "I didn't think you'd escape..."
  300. Jan 05 21:52:46 <StarmanTheta> "Please, please please please, keep him away from me! I...if you guys escaped my visions before, you can do it again, right? RIGHT?"
  301. Jan 05 21:52:59 <Getter> "We did however...and this has lead all back to you... now. Hm...So...that's the way it is. The lights in the sky are simply the death of those with sparks is it? I'd rather not believe it."
  302. Jan 05 21:53:07 <Scabbard> "...What does your next vision say? What is he about to do?"
  303. Jan 05 21:53:10 <Arthur-> "Wait, again?! What do you MEAN again?!"
  304. Jan 05 21:53:39 <Carbink> "I am starting to see my destiny now. It all make senses."
  305. Jan 05 21:53:39 <StarmanTheta> "M...my next...he's...I, um..." she bites her lip. "I don't..."
  306. Jan 05 21:53:57 <StarmanTheta> "I...I mean I can't...He's one of those...I can't read...them..."
  307. Jan 05 21:54:12 <Getter> "...Could you read those around him?"
  308. Jan 05 21:54:25 <Kailee> "Of course we'll help." she says with a nod, "I may not understand any of this 'light' stuff, but one thing I do know is that you're in danger and I can't allow that to happen without me doing something about it."
  309. Jan 05 21:54:30 <StarmanTheta> "I...I! I could...p-possibly?"
  310. Jan 05 21:54:51 <Arthur-> "D-do you know what's about to happen? Right here in this room?"
  311. Jan 05 21:55:01 * Scabbard stands up to face the door.
  312. Jan 05 21:55:15 <StarmanTheta> "I--I'll do a reading now! Right now!" She says. "J-just give me a bit of room..."
  313. Jan 05 21:56:01 * Kailee takes a few steps away from her, "Alright, whenever you're ready."
  314. Jan 05 21:56:38 * Arthur- leaves her be, rummaging through the tool chest quietly to try and distract his mind for a moment.
  315. Jan 05 21:56:50 * Carbink is furthest from the group.
  316. Jan 05 21:57:21 * Getter remains on the bed.
  317. Jan 05 21:57:25 <StarmanTheta> She steps away, still trembling...but like a lady she closes her eyes. The air around you seems warm as her hair rises. She looks to be in a trance
  318. Jan 05 21:57:33 * Scabbard is staring at the door, as if Fang might burst through at any moment... or maybe he's just having trouble processing all of this... or...
  319. Jan 05 21:57:50 <StarmanTheta> Yet, it only last the better part of half of a minute, if at that, before she cries out and crumples to the floor, shaking.
  320. Jan 05 21:57:55 <Scabbard> "...!"
  321. Jan 05 21:58:09 <Scabbard> "Serenade!"
  322. Jan 05 21:58:18 <Carbink> "wow, divination are rough."
  323. Jan 05 21:58:19 <StarmanTheta> "B-..." She mutters. "B-blood, the smell of blood...w-we have to get out of here! Anywhere but here! Don't let him near me!"
  324. Jan 05 21:58:29 * Kailee rushes over towards her, "Are you alright?!" she asks as she looks her over for any injuries.
  325. Jan 05 21:58:47 <StarmanTheta> She doesn’t seem to be physically injured, but she's definitely shaken up and a sobbing mess.
  326. Jan 05 21:58:52 <StarmanTheta> Whatever she saw, she really did NOT like it
  327. Jan 05 21:59:05 <Kailee> "Then yeah, let's get out of here right now."
  328. Jan 05 21:59:20 <Scabbard> "Don't panic. ...We've got to get out of here."
  329. Jan 05 21:59:37 <Carbink> "I guess it can't be helped if the divination show that."
  330. Jan 05 21:59:58 * Scabbard thinks he knows exactly what it showed.
  331. Jan 05 22:00:08 * Arthur- tries to speak but can't manage to get any words out. He grabs something, anything that's within arm's reach and scrambles onto Scabbard's shoulder.
  332. Jan 05 22:00:32 <StarmanTheta> Inside of the tool chest, most of the tools are rusted over, but you find a small set of wrenches and screwdrivers that are still usable
  333. Jan 05 22:00:46 <Kailee> "Can you walk? If you struggle, feel free to lean on me." she tells Serenade.
  334. Jan 05 22:01:19 <StarmanTheta> "J-just don't let him near me..." she says quietly, struggling to get to her feet and leaning on Kailee
  335. Jan 05 22:01:19 <Scabbard> "This way... There's an escape route... Serenade, if anything happens, hide. "
  336. Jan 05 22:01:56 * Getter moves to stand up wordlessly. His quest has been...is this all the light really was? Where did that light go.
  337. Jan 05 22:14:24 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysPtBjY8o_A
  338. Jan 05 22:15:21 <StarmanTheta> With a panicked Fennekin in tow, you guys make way through the back exit. But these past few days have been rough--unsettling revelation after unsettling revelation. Where is there to go? What to do? All you can do is try to survive for now.
  339. Jan 05 22:16:45 * Scabbard is trying to stay focused, but he's got a bit of a thousand yard stare going right now...
  340. Jan 05 22:17:05 <StarmanTheta> Making your way through the dirty tunnels, you wonder where is safe. Every stray noise startles you, and you can never tell if it's just your imagination or paws beating upon the ground towards you.
  341. Jan 05 22:17:08 <Getter> "...Lets keep moving." Getter says simply. He seems to be taking this very well.
  342. Jan 05 22:17:17 <StarmanTheta> But eventually you come along a stretch of the road...
  343. Jan 05 22:17:30 * Carbink is very motivated.
  344. Jan 05 22:17:33 <StarmanTheta> Look to the roll20, if you would
  345.  
  346. FanaticRat (GM): Up ahead, in the dim light, you see that part of the tunnel has collapsed. Moonlight trickles through, but the rubble is far too steep to traverse. Fortunately, since Kailee found the map earlier, you know there's a sewer line maintenance tunnel that is nearby, that you can use to circumvent the rubble.
  347. Serenade is huddled close to Kailee, and Marigold has a dour expression.
  348.  
  349. Dr. Joseph Marigold: "It seems we'll have to make a detour," he says flatly. You get the feeling it was supposed to be an uplifting joke, but it just comes off as devoid of feeling
  350.  
  351. Scabbard: "...This feels wrong."
  352.  
  353. Dr. Joseph Marigold: Anyway ya'll can move yourselves
  354.  
  355. Arthur: "I don't think anything's going to feel right again for a long while."
  356.  
  357. Nyaa: (Are there two square hole in front of us?)
  358.  
  359. FanaticRat (GM): no it's the road
  360.  
  361. Getter moves forward and simply states "It is the way of things. Nothing more."
  362.  
  363. FanaticRat (GM): Also sorry that the map is kinda derpy
  364.  
  365. Kailee: "Don't worry, Serenade. I've seen everyone here fight and I trust them with my life. We'll be completely safe." she comforts the scared girl as they move up,
  366.  
  367. FanaticRat (GM): Carbink and Getter see the door to the sewer maintenance area. Serenade nods meekly as she follows you.
  368.  
  369. Scabbard: "..."
  370.  
  371. Scabbard pulls out his flashlight, shining it at the rubble, looking for dust hanging in the air.
  372.  
  373. Carbink opens the door
  374.  
  375. FanaticRat (GM): You open the door, and it seems safe. Just a steel grated set of stairs leading down
  376.  
  377. Getter opens the door to the tunnel obviously and makes his way in. "As sad as the situation is, it is what it is."
  378.  
  379. Arthur: (Er, is Serenade not keeping up?)
  380.  
  381. Scabbard is trying to figure out if this was moved recently...
  382.  
  383. Carbink: "You all go ahead, I will grab a pipe over and shut it last"
  384.  
  385. Arthur: "O-okay.."
  386.  
  387. Carbink look for pipe thing in rubble
  388.  
  389. FanaticRat (GM): There's plenty of rebar and such sticking out of the rubble, as well as pipping. Would be a bit of a hassle to pull out but you can do it
  390.  
  391. Carbink pull a strong one out.
  392.  
  393. Kailee: (Hey, to make it easier, I suggest you give me control of Serenade and I'll move both of them along.
  394.  
  395. Arthur aids with a little telekinetic push
  396.  
  397. FanaticRat (GM): yeah ok
  398.  
  399. Arthur: rolling 2d6+2 focus if applicable (2+3)+2= 7
  400.  
  401. FanaticRat (GM): athletics from carbink, focus from arthur
  402. You can control serenade now
  403.  
  404. Carbink: rolling 4d6+2 (5+1+5+5)+2= 18
  405. FanaticRat (GM): With a heave and a ho, you get out a respectable looking pipe! But damn do you make a lot of noise when you do so.
  406.  
  407. Getter moves forward to check out the next area. More importantly. He just keeps moving forward.
  408.  
  409. Scabbard: "...Looks like we don't have a choice now!"
  410.  
  411. Carbink: "Everyone move in! I am piping this door down forever!"
  412.  
  413. Kailee: "Don't worry, we're coming." she replies.
  414.  
  415. FanaticRat (GM): Stepping in, the first thing you notice is the sound of rushing water. This was probably once a minor drainage to keep from flooding, but it seems like something has happened in the recent years where the current has picked up big time. The water looks real deep too
  416.  
  417. Scabbard: "...Too deep to wade through..."
  418.  
  419. Carbink struck the pipe and door shut.
  420.  
  421. Getter: "And not all of us can fly over."
  422.  
  423. Arthur: "I'm not 100% sure a barrier would support our passage, either."
  424.  
  425. FanaticRat (GM): "Hm...there were some planks, wren't there?"
  426. "Or there must be some mechanism for completing the passage
  427.  
  428. Arthur looks around for any kind of control or other mechanism that might be relevant
  429.  
  430. FanaticRat (GM): There's some old pallets and planks laying around
  431. On the wall there is a sort of drawbridge mechanism
  432.  
  433. Scabbard: "...I can fly some of you over, but I'm only strong enough to lift a few of you..."
  434.  
  435. Arthur: rolling 4d6+3 tech to see if I understand it (5+1+3+3)+3= 15
  436.  
  437. FanaticRat (GM): Hm...it seems straight forward enough. You crank it, the bridg extends
  438.  
  439. Arthur relays this to everyone. "I'm.. not exactly strong, but I don't think many of us have suitable, well, hands."
  440.  
  441. Dr. Joseph Marigold: "Here, let me try," he says, walking to the crank.
  442. The good doctor gives it a all he's got! It's rusty, and it seems like he's making no progress...
  443. ...But soon the crank, bregrudingly, starts moving.
  444. And a small bridge is extended!
  445. ...Though the walkway seems kinda old. Probably shouldn't all get on it at once.
  446. "Whew, that was harder than I thought...who should be first across?"
  447.  
  448. Scabbard: "...Joseph, you and I are probably the heaviest aside from Carbink. I can fly you across?"
  449.  
  450. Carbink: (Is there a crank on the other side?)
  451.  
  452. Dr. Joseph Marigold: There's a crank on the other side.
  453.  
  454. Getter moves to walk across "I'll test it."
  455.  
  456. Carbink: I can fly some of you across too
  457.  
  458. Dr. Joseph Marigold: "I don't think that would be wise--you probably wouldn't be able to carry me well. Besides, it looks like it will support my weight."
  459. "We just have to go one at a time"
  460.  
  461. Arthur: "And Carbin floats. I can't imagine the rest of us are too heavy."
  462.  
  463. Dr. Joseph Marigold: Getter walks across, and the old rusty bridge...
  464. Stays intact! He makes it to the other side without incident
  465.  
  466. Carbink: "We can lift you up a little while you cross so to reduce your weight a little."
  467.  
  468. Scabbard: "...Serenade? I can carry you safely if needed."
  469.  
  470. FanaticRat (GM): "Ah, telekinesis? That might help mitigate some of my weight! Good thinking, Carbink."
  471. Imagine Joseph said that
  472. Serenade looks timidly at the water, gulps, and says, "J-just don't drop me, ok?"
  473.  
  474. Carbink: "And my floating too"
  475.  
  476. Arthur: "E-er, do you mean mine? I'm... not the best at it."
  477.  
  478. Dr. Joseph Marigold: "You don't need to carry me completely, just pull on me a little and it will keep some of my weight off."
  479.  
  480. Carbink: "Exactly."
  481.  
  482. Arthur nods
  483.  
  484. Kailee glances towards Serenade, "Alright, be careful." she says before following.
  485.  
  486. Dr. Joseph Marigold: Alma goes across and dgaf
  487.  
  488. Arthur: (Of course.)
  489.  
  490. Scabbard offers to help her up, pressing her to his chest for added support. "Hold on tightly."
  491.  
  492. FanaticRat (GM): She holds on as tight as she can
  493.  
  494. Getter gives Alma a small nod. He looked deep in thought as the others found their ways across.
  495.  
  496. Scabbard flies her across!
  497.  
  498. FanaticRat (GM): The two of you get across no problem
  499.  
  500. Arthur pushes the doctor up a tiny bit.
  501.  
  502. FanaticRat (GM): which leaves Carbink, Arthur, Kailee, and the good doctor
  503.  
  504. Carbink: "Kailee, you are next"
  505.  
  506. Kailee takes a deep breath, "Alright, here I go..." she says before carefully walking across.
  507.  
  508. FanaticRat (GM): It seems dangerous at first, but Kailee makes it across
  509.  
  510. Carbink: "Okay, here we go."
  511.  
  512. Arthur takes a deep breath and helps Joseph across as best he can
  513.  
  514. FanaticRat (GM): What is Carbink's power anyway
  515.  
  516. Carbink: 7
  517.  
  518. FanaticRat (GM): not bad
  519.  
  520. Kailee: "Thanks for helping Serenade out," she tells Scabbard when she's across, "It might be dangerous if you stay with him and he has to fight. Of course, it's your choice."
  521.  
  522. FanaticRat (GM): So with the help of you both, Marigold sets across the walkway
  523. ...perception check, if you would
  524.  
  525. Arthur: rolling 2d6+3 (2+1)+3= 6
  526.  
  527. Scabbard: rolling 2d6 (4+2)= 6
  528.  
  529. Kailee: rolling 3d6+3 (6+1+3)+3= 13
  530.  
  531. Carbink: rolling 2d6 (2+5)= 7
  532.  
  533. FanaticRat (GM): No one else notices, but Kailee hears...splashing. Coming closer
  534.  
  535. Kailee pauses, "Guys, I hear something in the water. We need to leave now."
  536.  
  537. Dr. Joseph Marigold: "Something in the water? You don't mean--"
  538.  
  539. FanaticRat (GM): But she does mean
  540.  
  541. Carbink: "Doc, run!"
  542.  
  543. Arthur runs too!
  544. FanaticRat (GM): Before you have time to move very far
  545. There's a crashing spray!
  546. A croconaw, larger than any you've ever seen, leaps from the water right at you! Spurred on by the current, it's only for an instant that you can see the scizor wing branded into his side
  547. At which point...
  548. The doctor pushes you two out of the way as the leaping beast crashes into him
  549.  
  550. Scabbard: "NO!"
  551.  
  552. Carbink: "Noooooo!"
  553.  
  554. Getter: "Oh no!"
  555.  
  556. Dr. Joseph Marigold: "Gah!"
  557.  
  558. Kailee grits her teeth, "Serenade, get behind us!" she orders, staring at the Croconaw.
  559.  
  560. Dr. Joseph Marigold: The duo are carried a bit further down by the current, the doctor only barely managing to hang on to a strap in the wall.
  561. "Forget about me, I'll be fine!"
  562.  
  563. Scabbard is 2 seconds from flying out to try and save him. "But... Doc!"
  564.  
  565. Getter yells to him "Are you sure? We better see you after this!"
  566.  
  567. Carbink: "No, we are not leaving you!"
  568.  
  569. FanaticRat (GM): The croconaw laughs, clawing at Marigold. "Hah! Only one, but it ain't bad!"
  570.  
  571. Dr. Joseph Marigold: "We'll meet up again! Just stay--"
  572. He can't finish the sentence before the croconaw swings his oversized claw at him, sending them both underwater
  573.  
  574. FanaticRat (GM): And just like that
  575. they're gone
  576.  
  577. Scabbard reaches out a scythe toward the water, falling to his knees.
  578. Scabbard: "...N-no..."
  579.  
  580. Arthur: "... We could've done something! W-why!"
  581.  
  582. Carbink: "Go, go, go! we need to get outside!"
  583.  
  584. Arthur reluctantly walks across
  585.  
  586. Getter simply hums slightly. "Arthur...Scabbard...get up. We're moving."
  587.  
  588. Scabbard: "..."
  589.  
  590. Scabbard picks up Serenade. "...C-come on."
  591.  
  592. Carbink: "We have to catch them outside!"
  593.  
  594. FanaticRat (GM): Serenade seems shocked. "Th-that could have been..." she quiets herself and nods
  595.  
  596. Arthur: "Let's get going. it's what he would've wanted."
  597.  
  598. Carbink rushing to get out
  599.  
  600. Getter: "Its what he does want Arthur."
  601.  
  602. Arthur: "I.. I'm sick of this. Sick of this world. I want justice. We need to make that happen.That's how we'll really find paradise."
  603.  
  604. Carbink: "First step is to save doc! Hurry!"
  605.  
  606. Kailee continues to follow the group in stunned silence.
  607.  
  608. Arthur: "The road.."
  609.  
  610. FanaticRat (GM): Back on the road again, this part seems in as bad shape as the other. Numerous broken down cars line the area, and plenty of places the ceiling has collapsed. But you only get a few steps in, when you hear a howl
  611.  
  612. Getter: "...Scabbard, do you know that sound?"
  613.  
  614. FanaticRat (GM): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roogi8khXCw
  615. From the north, from the moonlight that emanates from a hole in the roof...
  616.  
  617. Kailee took in a gasp of air as she looked around, searching for the source of the howl, "Do you guys... see anything?"
  618.  
  619. FanaticRat (GM): There is a quadrupedal silhouette
  620.  
  621. Scabbard: "...Serenade. Hide."
  622.  
  623. Arthur: "YOU!"
  624.  
  625. Fang: The quadrupedal form stands defiant, before leaping down the rubble to growl at you all.
  626.  
  627. Getter wordlessly removes the tatters that he covers himself with and lets his scarf be seen freely as he throws them to the side.
  628.  
  629. Fang: And as it does, more pokemon emerge from hiding behind cars and rubble
  630.  
  631. Fang laughs a mocking, laugh that wears its cruelty like a badge. "Finally! Finally I've tracked you down!"
  632.  
  633. Fang: "Did you think you could get away, huh? Did you think you could run forever!?"
  634. He growls again as his goons menace you. "I'll show you your place! You'll all be begging for death when I'm done with you!" He glares at Serenade, "You and the bug, a little bit longer."
  635.  
  636. Scabbard: "..."
  637.  
  638. Getter: "You will be doing no such thing. Not as long as I am here."
  639.  
  640. Scabbard readies his scythes. "...If this is where I die, so be it."
  641.  
  642. Carbink: "No, you will the one who begs for forgiveness when I am done with you!"
  643.  
  644. Scabbard: "But you're not laying a single hand on ANYONE ELSE."
  645.  
  646. Fang: He howls again. "I'll decorate my den with your wings, you worthless traitor!"
  647. You know what time it is
  648.  
  649. Kailee glances towards the blue Zangoose and puts on a fake smile, "Oh, hey buddy! How have you been? I hope you healed from that last beating!" she taunts him,
  650.  
  651. Arthur points. "You will die. You WILL die."
  652.  
  653. Carbink declares, "Usually, I defend others, but today, I DEFANG!"
  654.  
  655. Scabbard: "I had hoped I would never have to look at your ugly face again, Fang..."
  656. "I take it that Scizor doesn't know about your little escapade out here? Planning to take the old man down?"
  657.  
  658. Fang: rolling 1d3 (3)= 3
  659. rolling 1d2 (1)= 1
  660.  
  661. Arthur: "He doesn't deserve trash talk, Scabbard. He's below being worthy of it."
  662.  
  663. Fang: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_r0D5sUzUQ
  664. Let's get this show on the road!
  665. Alma's going to stick close with serenade
  666. Who is a shivering mess. They retreat back!
  667. and Fang goes
  668.  
  669. Fang laughs. "That old fool doesn't know a damn thing! And once I take you down, I'm going after your old man next!"
  670.  
  671. Carbink: (cross sword/fang!)
  672.  
  673. Fang: He rushes forward, and his body surges with energy. "Lemme show you what I've learned, boy! DIE!"
  674.  
  675. Arthur whispers "We need to keep the Aurorus away from Scabbard at all costs!"
  676.  
  677. Fang: rolling 1d20 thunderfang vs Scabbard (4)= 4
  678.  
  679. Getter too...for similar reasons.
  680.  
  681. Scabbard: ((!))
  682.  
  683. Fang: AC 3
  684. so no go
  685.  
  686. Kailee: Helping hand on Scabbard.
  687. +2 accuracy +10 damage
  688. Spending four AP to give everyone +5 damage with Cheerleader.
  689.  
  690. Scabbard barely manages to deflect the attack with his scythe, though he's clearly shocked. In the emotional way.
  691.  
  692. Scabbard grits his teeth however.
  693. Scabbard: "This... is for JOSEPH! YOU MANGEY SON OF A BITCH!"
  694.  
  695. Scabbard uses ROCK SMASH
  696. Scabbard: rolling 1d20+2 (10)+2= 12

  699.  
  700. Scabbard: rolling 2d6+8+15+15 (4+3)+8+15+15= 45
  701.  
  702. Scabbard 's scythes glow with their own energy as he brings them both down onto the Mightyena with all his strength.
  703.  
  704. Fang: He roars in pain as you smash into him! "I'LL RIP YOUR FUCKIN' GUTS OUT!"
  705. anything else?
  706.  
  707. Scabbard flies up just out of his reach, leading him away from the more vulnerable types.
  708. Scabbard: "COME AND GET ME!"
  709.  
  710. Fang: Arthur is up
  711.  
  712. Arthur doesn't say anything but does use Barrier.
  713.  
  714. Arthur: "Block their passage. Fang will die alone."
  715.  
  716. Carbink: "You got it!"
  717.  
  718. FanaticRat (GM): Zangoose moves there. Tries to crush claw Scabbard!
  719. rolling 1d20 (6)= 6
  720. ac 3

  748. Getter is up
  749. you can intercept if you want though
  750.  
  751. Getter moves foward and says "Do not worry, you'll make ammends soon" to Fang before going for Karate Chop, as usual with "...The Second Circle...VENUS STRIKE."
  752.  
  753. Carbink: (nah)

  1017.  
  1018. Scabbard holds up his weighted scythes as Fang's electrically charged teeth sink into one. He barely manages to shake him off.
  1019.  
  1020. Kailee closes her eyes and mumbles a chant under her breath. She turns towards Getter, focusing on him as she uses WISH.
  1021. Kailee: (So heal for half his max HP his next turn. My turn's over.)

  1098.  
  1099. Scabbard: ((...WARP MEGA EVOLVE INTO MEGA AXEW?))
  1100.  
  1101. Getter figures that he has to end this quickly. If he gets rid of Fang...the others should lose confidence...and that means Scabbard can focus...and more importantly, put himself behind the Axew so he can deal with the Zangoose.
  1102.  
  1103. Getter repeats himself.
  1104.

  1119. Fang: Scabbard looks like he's in trouble
  1120. uh, that's a wall
  1121.  
  1122. Carbink: huh?
  1123.  
  1124. Fang: this is a wall
  1125. part of the tunnel
  1126.  
  1127. Arthur: we're i- yeah
  1128.  
  1129. Carbink: (oh)
  1130.

  1156. Fang: howling in blind rage, he tries to viciously bite Scabbard
  1157. rolling 1d20+2 thunder fang! (12)+2= 14
  1158.  
  1159. Carbink: Intecept
  1160.  
  1161. Fang: ok
  1162.  
  1163. Carbink: knock scabard right
  1164.  
  1165. Fang: rolling 2d6+10+28 phys electric damage (4+6)+10+28=48
  1166. Scabbard!
  1167. now's your chance
  1168.  
  1169. Carbink: (18 dmg)
  1170.  
  1171. Fang: (don't fuck up)
  1172.  
  1173. Scabbard: ((To take out Fang?))
  1174. ((...Lemme roll before I do anything dramatic.))
  1175. rolling 1d20+2 (14)+2= 16
  1176.  
  1177. Arthur: "JUSTICE!"
  1178.  
  1179. Fang: that'll hit
  1180. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdxQjJpMKB4
  1181.  
  1182. Scabbard: "You never understood, did you Fang?"
  1183. "Strength isn't something to be taken. It isn't something to be used to dominate."
  1184. "At the end of the day, all you are are the same scared pup you were when you joined the legion..."
  1185. "So let me show you..."
  1186. "WHAT REAL STRENGTH IS!"
  1187. rolling 2d6+8+30 (3+1)+8+30= 42
  1188.  
  1189. Scabbard IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!
  1190.  
  1191. Fang: Scabbard slams down again at Fang, and there's a sickening crunch!
  1192. Light or not, Fang's been fighting past his limits, and that's the blow that seals it
  1193. Reeling and coughing blood, he staggers. The light intensifies
  1194.  
  1195. Scabbard: "I'm sorry it had to end this way..."
  1196.  
  1197. Fang: "N--no...I can't..."
  1198. "Not here...! Not this traitor!"
  1199. "I'll kill you! I"ll KILL YOU ALL! PARADISE IS MIIIIIIIIIIIINNNEEEEEEE!"
  1200. With a final howl, his body is completely enveloped in light and a bright flash fills the tunnel, shooting out of holes in the ceiling!
  1201. Fang: But before it abates, it curiously begins to coalesce, swirl, and shoot off, into each and every one of you.
  1202.  
  1203. Getter shields his eyes a little...but does his best not to look away. "This light..."
  1204.  
  1205. Fang: As Fang's lifeless body falls to the ground, never to rise again
  1206. The zangoose, seeing his boss fallen, freaks out and bolts
  1207. you can go after him if you want but this battle is, for all intents and purposes, over
  1208. And strangely
  1209.  
  1210. Carbink: (nah, we already got a prisoner)
  1211.  
  1212. Fang: when that light absorbs into you, your pokedexes beep with a notification
  1213.  
  1214. Arthur: ..?
  1215.  
  1216. Jan 06 00:14:24 <StarmanTheta> Everyone gains 97 EXP and 10 Career EXP from that battle
  1217. Jan 06 00:14:28 * Kailee looks over herself after the light enters her, "What the..." she mumbles to herself before pushing it out of her mind and walking towards Serenade's hiding spot, "Hey, are you okay?" she asks.
  1218. Jan 06 00:15:00 * Getter looks confused for the most part...feeling over where the light entered. What...what was that...
  1219. Jan 06 00:15:14 * Scabbard flutters to the ground. "...We'll show everyone. Paradise... can be a place on Earth..."
  1220. Jan 06 00:15:23 <Carbink> "Just like... Mother's warm..."
  1221. Jan 06 00:15:23 <Scabbard> "Joseph... Gwen..."
  1222. Jan 06 00:15:39 <StarmanTheta> huh that's just 3 short. Make it 100 exp
  1223. Jan 06 00:15:45 <Getter> "We are alright Kailee...it would appear it is over...and he's dead. I wonder if...no. No we couldn't have."
  1224. Jan 06 00:16:15 <Getter> "It doesn't matter now I guess."
  1225. Jan 06 00:16:18 <StarmanTheta> The light feels...invigorating. Like some sort of high you've never felt before.
  1226. Jan 06 00:16:19 * Arthur- is shaking, recovering from the sheer rage and adrenaline rush he endured. "I... feel different, now, and not just because of the light."
  1227. Jan 06 00:16:29 <StarmanTheta> But it is gone soon after. Still, your pokedexes are all beeping
  1228. Jan 06 00:16:31 <StarmanTheta> will you check them?
  1229. Jan 06 00:16:36 * Arthur- checks
  1230. Jan 06 00:16:37 * Scabbard checks his Pokedex.
  1231. Jan 06 00:16:40 * Carbink check
  1232. Jan 06 00:16:55 <StarmanTheta> Checking it, it seems you have a new notification
  1233. Jan 06 00:16:56 <StarmanTheta> it reads
  1234. Jan 06 00:17:42 <StarmanTheta> "Two new apps are now installed:
  1235. Jan 06 00:17:50 <StarmanTheta> -ESSENCE.EXE
  1236. Jan 06 00:17:56 <StarmanTheta> -TENACITY.EXE
  1237. Jan 06 00:18:16 <StarmanTheta> Further instructions can be found on the app page."
  1238. Jan 06 00:19:01 * Getter moves to get his tatters once again and then tell Serenade "There is no more reason to fear...the past has come to terms."
  1239. Jan 06 00:19:21 <StarmanTheta> Serenade finally peeks out. "It's...over? You, you really beat him?"
  1240. Jan 06 00:19:30 <Getter> "More then that."
  1241. Jan 06 00:19:43 <Arthur-> "He's gone. Streaked across the sky, I presume."
  1242. Jan 06 00:19:46 <Carbink> "Course we do, we are a bigger spark together."
  1243. Jan 06 00:19:54 * Scabbard is breathing pretty heavily as he puts his dex back.
  1244. Jan 06 00:20:11 <Kailee> "Yeah, something like that. But you're safe now, which is more important.Now come on, let's get out of here."
  1245. Jan 06 00:20:34 <StarmanTheta> Serenade breathes a sigh of relief, her trembling stopping. "Thank you...I, I suppose you all aren't so bad after all."
  1246. Jan 06 00:21:01 <StarmanTheta> "...let us be quit of this place," she says, walking out. She turns her nose up at Fang's corpse with a "Hmph," and waits for you all to lead the way
  1247. Jan 06 00:21:09 <Carbink> "It's okay, you are part of the family now." Carbink reach out its ears.
  1248. Jan 06 00:21:14 * Arthur- inspects Fang's corpse, specifically for a Pokedex.
  1249. Jan 06 00:21:19 <StarmanTheta> Oh right
  1250. Jan 06 00:21:22 <Kailee> "We just protected you and all we get is a 'not bad'?" she chuckles, "There's just no pleasing you, is there?"
  1251. Jan 06 00:21:28 <StarmanTheta> Fang's corpse has no pokedex, but it does contain the following:
  1252. Jan 06 00:22:11 <StarmanTheta> 1 rope, 3great balls, 1 super potion, 1 rawst berry, 1 pecha berry, 1 enigma berry, 5000 PYU
  1253. Jan 06 00:22:14 <Arthur-> "We're the best there is, as far as I'm concerned."
  1254. Jan 06 00:22:23 <StarmanTheta> he also is carrying a Razor Fang
  1255. Jan 06 00:22:28 * Scabbard is trying not to look at anyone. Though he is shaking ((http://i.ytimg.com/vi/jcWuiwZYGP4/mqdefault.jpg))
  1256. Jan 06 00:22:53 <Getter> "...Scabbard...you don't look okay. What is the matter?"
  1257. Jan 06 00:23:15 * Arthur- hugs Scabbard's leg, nuzzling up.
  1258. Jan 06 00:23:46 <Scabbard> "...I... was hoping I didn't have to kill him, is all..."
  1259. Jan 06 00:23:54 <Scabbard> "It was unavoidable, I just..."
  1260. Jan 06 00:23:58 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEB56tk7I88
  1261. Jan 06 00:24:00 <Scabbard> "...And... Joseph... and..."
  1262. Jan 06 00:24:30 <StarmanTheta> It doesn't take long for you guys to reach the surface. There's a burden lifted from your shoulders, knowing that the one pursuing you is now gone...
  1263. Jan 06 00:24:31 * Scabbard picks up Arthur and hugs him, as gently as someone with bloody, blunt instruments for hands can.
  1264. Jan 06 00:24:58 <StarmanTheta> But in its place is an even bigger cloud of uncertainty. What is this Essence? Why are you getting this notifications? Will anyone else come after you?
  1265. Jan 06 00:25:11 <Getter> "He 's waiting for us later on. Joseph hasn't lied to us yet. He has no reason to start...besides. He's been walking about just as we had. He is not like us...but that does not make him less."
  1266. Jan 06 00:25:14 <StarmanTheta> So many questions, and Marigold's fall only compounds it.
  1267. Jan 06 00:25:29 <StarmanTheta> The morning comes as you exit...but what will the dawn bring?
  1268. Jan 06 00:25:38 <Carbink> "We will find the alligator next."
  1269. Jan 06 00:26:02 <StarmanTheta> But in any case
  1270. Jan 06 00:26:05 <Arthur-> "If he doesn't survive, they'll be bringing down us upon them. We haven't faltered yet, and I doubt we will anytime soon."

  1272. Jan 06 00:26:12 <StarmanTheta> That's a wrap for this session
