Piss Poor #38

[17:59]	Rabtar	as our group heads north with the rather odd Captain Maverick Renegade and his crew, Elektron thought it would be nice to fix the ventilation..... and he was attacked by something that was definitely not a zergling. So he's alive and has just been kicked out of the engine room.....
[18:00]	Ragebrew	had returned to the bow of the ship after applying a few band aid to Elektron's slashed up face, lashed to the guardrails by rope. She was singing under her breath as she watched the river banks roll by. She had nothing left to purge, so she just ignored that feeling and tried to enjoy herself.
[18:01]	Merciful_Devotion	was still reading that book, giggling occasionally. "Hey Rage, you feeling better?"
[18:02]	Spectre	remains asleep in his bunk/hammock. Sleepy batpony is sleepy
[18:02]	PAL-	looks about the world, taking in the sights.
[18:02]	Ragebrew	made a painful wretching sound, holding onto the rail for a moment. She spat out a bit of off yellow fluid into the water. "Nope..."
[18:03]	Elektron	goes to the crew's quarters and lays down in a hammock with a small groan
[18:03]	Midnight_Hour	sulks in the corner feeling awful and trying to drown out the world with a book.
[18:04]	Merciful_Devotion	"Ugh... Too bad we don't have some crackers... They always settled my stomach when I got sick."
[18:04]	Ragebrew	undid her cord, mouth hanging open as streams of drool poured out of her mouth, ever so often wretching again. "I'm gonna go see what Elektron found. Maybe not *HURK* die on the way...."
[18:05]	Merciful_Devotion	"Maybe you should rest Rage... I can check on him."
[18:07]	Ragebrew	shook her head "Couldn't sleep if I wanted." She stumbled across the deck down to the hold. Her head popped up a moment later "And be careful with that book." Away again, down into the crew quarters.
[18:07]	Merciful_Devotion	rolls her eyes. "Oh Rage..."
[18:10]	Ragebrew	swings open the crew doors, pointing to Elektron. "Evil thing that slashed yer face. Where? Know ya goo'ed it, but I wanna see where anyways."
[18:11]	-->|	Silver_Shackles ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
[18:12]	Elektron	groans, sitting up slightly and points in the direction of the engine room "In a ventilation shaft. You can ask Mrs. Checkers, I'm not sure if you'd fit in the vent though."
[18:14]	Ragebrew	nodded. "Well, I'll see if she's got any spare grease floating around I could use. Plus, did ya tell her what it was? Figure the ship gear head might wanna know what the fucks crawling in her pipes." She looked over at Midnight_Hour, and didn't say a word, seeing her expression. It was shared between them.
[18:14]	=-=	Silver_Shackles is now known as P-86_MK3
[18:15]	Elektron	shakes his head "No, I'll tell them later. Besides, Mrs. Checkers didn't seem all that interested"
[18:18]	Ragebrew	nodded and stopped. "Well, fuck it then. This ain't my boat..." She crawled into one of the hammocks and covered her eye with her leg. "Tell me when the world stops spinning..." She settled in, but just couldn't actually sleep. She just laid there, groaning time to time, wiping the edge of her mouth with her fwuff.
[18:21]	Merciful_Devotion	closes the book and decides to lean back and rest her eyes
[18:25]	-->|	Lostshot ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
[18:35]	Rabtar	the group manages to get a couple hours worth of rest in before the boat shutters from the force of several 'small' explosions...
[18:35]	Ragebrew	groans and pulls her leg from her eyes. She flung herself out of the bed and trotted up to the deck. "Right then...."
[18:36]	Elektron	flails around in the hammock before landing on the floor with a small thud "Whats going on?"
[18:36]	=-=	P-86_MK3 is now known as Silver_Shackles
[18:37]	Ragebrew	"Something. Move it."
[18:37]	Ragebrew	"Spectre! On yer hooves." She flinged a tin can at the sleeping batpony.
[18:37]	PAL-	gets up from where it had been sitting. "Status, unknown. Warning."
[18:37]	PAL-	clanks about looking for what caused the explosion
[18:38]	Spectre	snaps awake "I cant get a day of sleep can i..." he mutters and flops out of the bed, dragging himself up onto the deck
[18:38]	Merciful_Devotion	groans and unties herself. "Damnit... I was having a hot dream too..."
[18:39]	Elektron	quickly trots up to the main deck to find the source of the explosions
[18:39]	Ragebrew	"No, no ya can't. Welcome to working pony hours, Spectre." She trotted up onto the main deck, O'Neigh resting against her chest.
[18:43]	PAL-	cannot find the Source so instead shuts down.
[18:45]	Rabtar	the group spills onto the deck as another set of explosions just barely missing the boat. The Captain is on deck with Mr. Spork, who at this time decides to get on the intercom "RED ALERT! ALL..... HANDSTO BATTLESTATION!"
[18:47]	Ragebrew	slammed into something hard as the explosion rocked the boat. "DAMNIT! ALWAYS HAS TO BE SOMETHING!" Her eyes darted around, looking for something to kill for disturbing her attempts at slumber.
[18:47]	Elektron	looks around "What the heck is going on?!" he asks, ducking down with wide eyes
[18:49]	Ragebrew	looked over to Merciful_Devotioin "Main gun! Now!" She grabbed Elektron by the scruff of the neck and picked him up. "A fight is what going on! Ya wanna take a swim? No? THEN GUNS AT THE READY!"
[18:50]	Elektron	gulps and nods, pulling out the Plasma Defender
[18:50]	Spectre	scurries over, low to the groun and takes a look around then to rage "Can i borrow a potion or two? If the opportunity presents itself i may board the enemy ship"
[18:51]	Rabtar	"We have..... pirates! Approaching a stern!" And lo and behold there are indeed a number of small boats coming up on the Good Ship Lolipop. A low boxy thing, three tiny looking one pony jobs and a larger boat about twho thirds the size of the Lolipop....
[18:51]	Silver_Shackles	On the bow of the main ship there stand 4 ponies with the gun pointing between the legs of one of the crew. Behind this there stands something odd, a pristinelty clothed and acrtully clean raider waveing a cutless around and quietly on the wind something can be hear getting louder by the moment "We're men, MANLY men, we're men in tights. Yeah! We roam the sea just looking to FIGHT!"
[18:54]	Ragebrew	just looked at the sight for a moment. She passed Spectre a pair of potions and a single piece of rolled paper, with odd pink dust inside. "Chew that up if ya need a killer boost. Be careful. It's not fun to get hooked on."
[18:55]	Spectre	"Thank you very much
[18:55]	Spectre	"
[18:58]	Ragebrew	looked to Merciful "Aim for the one with the gun. We'll handle boarder."

[19:22]	=-=	kanku_000_ is now known as Silver_Shackles
[19:33]	Rabtar	Midnight_Hour goes and hides below deck because the GM don't want to deal with a magic user
[19:36]	Spectre	runs into the brdige, looking fora nice dark place and prepares, pulling out a mine and popping the chem rage gave him, "Whoa..."
[19:36]	Silver_Shackles	swings around, bounding from ponyt back to pony head, danceing in time with a non existance music "We may look like pansies, but don't get us wrong or else we'll put out your lights.
[19:36]	Silver_Shackles	We're men, we're men in tights (TIGHT tights)" belted out above all the sound of the sea faring boat. "Fire on them Blinkin!" the capatain yells "Keep your eyes Peeled! The scurvy mules might be tricky...YAR!!"
[19:39]	Rabtar	the gunna nods and starts firing wildly, completely missing the Lolipop.... but he manages to kill one of his own...
[19:40]	Rabtar	the mane boat also moves closer...
[19:43]	Elektron	quickly looks around and pulls out the Magical Energy Rifle, and fires a shot at the main boat before hesititating "Theres... theres so many!" he shouts around the gun "How are we supposed to face them?"
[19:47]	Rabtar	a pirate bows low in his dance, causing the shot to miss...
[19:48]	Ragebrew	blinked at the sight of the gunner mowing down one of his own. She burst out laughing as she rested O'Neigh on one of the boat rails, steadying her aim before letting out an aimed burst at the advancing jetskier. "SINK THE BOAT FOR ALL I CARE!"
[19:50]	Rabtar	Rage's shots make a pretty pattern in the nasty water, but do little more than that
[19:52]	Rabtar	the little jet skis all gun it. Firing there machine guns as they close the distance
[19:54]	Rabtar	a few of rounds hit the aft end of the boat, thankfully only doing superficial damage...
[19:59]	Rabtar	the boxy things gain aswell, firing a burst from it's bow mounted grenade machine gun
[20:00]	Rabtar	a single grenade hits the Lolipop, only causing minor damage...
[20:02]	Rabtar	the Captain holds the ship "We can't out run them! I'm.......... openforsugestions!" as he slams the throttle to full
[20:02]	Rabtar	ship steady*
[20:02]	Ragebrew	"GET ME CLOSER SO I CAN SHOT THEM WITH MY BIG GUN!"
[20:02]	Spectre	"Closer, much closer!" he grins from beside the pony "I want to drain them dry of blood"
[20:07]	Merciful_Devotion	runs to the ship's gun and turns around, aiming her cannon towards the main pirate ship and firing. "Captain! Get us closer! Elektron, aim for that pony manning the grenade launcher! Rage, keep up with the fucking jet skis!"
[20:10]	Rabtar	the teddy is torn to shreds as it strikes the boat, doing nothing to it...
[20:10]	Spectre	eyes the captain "TUrn this thing around, and keep this area clear and dark" and with that he vanishes in a puff of shadowy smoke.
[20:15]	Rabtar	the mine bounces off of one of the pirates and rolls out the door, falling overboard into the water...
[20:15]	Rabtar	then Spectre blinks back to the Lolipop
[20:16]	Silver_Shackles	stamps his hoof "Damn it Blinkin...I said shoot thme not us! Aim you fool!? he grumbles as he climbs behind trhe gunner and starts to help him aim, yelling left, right or fire into his ear even as the crew on the bow keep dancing away! Mad ponies they are!
[20:17]	Spectre	returns and looks at the boat, frowning "OH COME ON!" he yells at the lack of... /anything/ happening on the other ship

[20:20]	Spectre	"Right. I need something bigger, and more reliable"
[20:20]	Rabtar	the Pirate Captains assistance seems to help, a number of rounds hit the Lolipop, causing the engine to sputter and start to loose power. Checkers comes over the intercom "Can't tek much more Captin!"
[20:23]	Elektron	nods at Mercy and fires two carefully aimed shots at the pony manning the grenade launcher
[20:24]	Rabtar	he doesn't even hit the boat
[20:25]	Ragebrew	groans as the boat shudders and they can't seem to hit shit. She just kept firing on the closest targets, the jetskis.
[20:28]	Rabtar	the jets ski pony looses control and crashes, going ass over teakettle into the toxic water
[20:30]	Ragebrew	gives a snarl and a smile. "Suck it."
[20:31]	Rabtar	the remaining jet ski continue to close and fire
[20:32]	Rabtar	they hit a little but still do almost nothing, why are they even here?
[20:33]	Rabtar	the sanpan closes aswell fireing more grenades
[20:37]	Spectre	glares at the captain "Turn this thing around so we can fire at it with your main gun!"
[20:39]	Rabtar	a pair of grenades hit the wheel house, rocking the ship, sadly PAL was near the wheel house and goes tumbling overboard, the rope unable to support it's weight. The intercom crackles to life "Medic to the bridge!"
[20:44]	Rabtar	the Captain brings the ship about, wiping away some blood from his brow and turning to Spectre "Get him below deck!"
[20:47]	Merciful_Devotion	clambers into the gun turret and swings it around to aim at the main pirate ship, giving it as much firepower as the turret would allow her. "Fire in the hole!" She sports a manic grin as she presses the trigger down
[20:51]	Rabtar	and the lucky mare misses
[20:56]	Spectre	looks at the capatain "No... Just wait for the puffy one to get here" he growls and charges out, pulling out a certain launcher and a rocket
[21:00]	Rabtar	the RPG sails towards the mane boat.... and explodes halfway there....
[21:00]	Spectre	snarls "I swear! SUNBUTS CURSED ME!"
[21:04]	Silver_Shackles	growls "OI You trying to blow me up! You bastard." he grumbles a bit "SING BOY SING!" he bellows and the crew all yell back "And we all sing together!" he goes on with the song, pushing the boatr as hard and fast as it will go "If yee bee wantan' a chicken contest...then lets go! Unfurl the sails and let loose the mizzenmast! GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT!"
[21:05]	Rabtar	and then Blinken opens fire
[21:06]	Rabtar	and his guns promptly jam "What's going on? Who talking?"
[21:07]	Elektron	tries once more to hit the pony on the grenade launcher, firing two careful shots
[21:10]	Rabtar	he hits the gunner! Giving him a nasty burn on his shoulder.
[21:11]	Ragebrew	swore up a storm as she pushed away from the railing, bolting for the wheel house, healing potion unclicked from her harness. She looked at the wounded Spork, and just crammed a potion into the gaping hole in his head, letting some get to work before cramming the rest down his throat. "No logic in dying!"
[21:13]	Rabtar	he heals the stoic stallion, stopping him from dieing. But he isn't going to be waking up soon.
[21:14]	Ragebrew	braced O'Neigh on the wheel house window, and emptied the magazine at the jetskiers.
[21:15]	Rabtar	and he misses
[21:18]	Rabtar	the jet skis place themselves in between the Lolipop and the mane boat, firing at the wheel house now
[21:21]	Rabtar	there shots peppering the wheel house with machine gun fire, hitting everyone and everything
[21:23]	Ragebrew	shrugs off the pepper spray of bullets to her chest, only wincing slightly as one sank into her plot.
[21:24]	Rabtar	the sanpan continues to slose, firing more grenade at the damaged Lolipop
[21:25]	Rabtar	and they miss completely
[21:26]	Rabtar	the Captain pushes hit ship onwards! Pulling out a energy pistol and firing it at Silver_Shackles
[21:28]	Rabtar	and he hits! Putting a nice burn on his coat...
[21:29]	Silver_Shackles	falls down behind the gun man squealling loudly, and heard very eaisly over everything, sounding like a small cold just got hurt " OW OW OW I"M DIEING I got hit and I;m dieingggg" He crys out for a little bit
[21:29]	Merciful_Devotion	cackles madly and slams on the trigger once again. "Ahahahahaha! You will all feel my power!"
[21:32]	Rabtar	and she misses horribly... again!
[21:37]	Midnight_Hour	finally pulls herself together at the sounds of gunfire and explosions, to get out of bed. Muttering something about going to regret it, she casts her shield spell, leaves the room, and climbs onto the deck, looking pale.
[21:37]	Midnight_Hour	"Celestia damn it, I'm trying to sleep!" she shouts before firing a shot from the stairwell leading below deck.
[21:38]	Rabtar	the bolts hits the sanpan, starting a small fire....
[21:42]	Spectre	reloads the launcher and takes carefull aim, trying to ignore the nagging voice in his head to just jump over and start slicing them all in a bloody mess, muttering a quick prayer to luna he fires
[21:42]	Rabtar	and the sanpan just decintrigates in a big ass explosion!
[21:44]	Silver_Shackles	0x01ACTION shakes himself off as the crew yell that he is perfecty fine, and he should murder them all for marring his wonderfull coat! Slowly he stands back up and shakes his head "You...monster....YOu dare to attack me! Insolence!" He yells "Ramming speed!" His horn starts to glow casting a shield in a sharp pointed cone in front of the ship, covering the crew slightly and aimed for stabbing before him and the crew brace for the
[21:45]	Silver_Shackles	crew brace for the coming impact
[21:45]	Rabtar	Blinken fumbles and flails at his guns "I have no idea what is going on!"
[21:47]	Elektron	's eyes widen as he realizes the ship going to try to ram them and fires two precise shots at Silver_Shackles, hoping thats a channeled spell
[21:48]	Rabtar	and the colt misses again
[21:49]	Ragebrew	pulled out her colt .45, and opened fire on the jetskiers. "Glad ya could join us Midnight! Hope ya can nuke that shield of his!"
[21:51]	Rabtar	and another jet ski goes tumbling
[21:52]	Rabtar	the last remaining jet ski pirate pulls around and throws a grappling hook up, latching on and starting to pull themselves up on deck
[21:54]	Rabtar	the Captain continues to steer his boat towards Silver_Shackles \, firing his pistol at the pirate captain again
[21:57]	Rabtar	and Silver_Shackles is hit again! His head almost bursting into flames as the energy bolt strikes him
[22:00]	Merciful_Devotion	laughs maniacally. "You are nothing! You're shield will crumble before us! Midnight, blast their shield to hell and back with me!" She unleases the full power of her turret again
[22:08]	Rabtar	Mercy guts the boat, knocking out it's engine and killing a few crew who were below deck, it also pop Silver_Shackles spike shield. The stricken vessel still has enough inertia to be moving at a good pace though... and then her guns promptly jam...
[22:10]	Midnight_Hour	growls. "You're all giving me a splitting headache!"
[22:12]	Midnight_Hour	summons a swarm of blue magical knives before launching them at the captain and squewering him.
[22:12]	Rabtar	Silver_Shackles is stabbed.... a lot....
[22:23]	Spectre	takes to the air and fires his anti pony grenade rifle twice at the mass of ponies on the boat
[22:24]	Rabtar	the bat pony blows the group at the aern of the ship into tiny bacon bits
[22:29]	Silver_Shackles	0x01ACTION growls standing once more "You ornery bastered...." he was a deep green with rageing red eyes and a brilliant crimsion jacket over his body and remarckably unharmed even after everything that had happened "I Dont care what happens! BRING ME ALL THEIR HEADS!!" he yells loudly takeing his blunderbuss and fireing at the flying pony. and takeing bothg his swords out prepaird to jump onto the boat as soon as it hits while tak
[22:29]	Silver_Shackles	while takeing out a potion and dowing the drink and one go.
[22:35]	Rabtar	Spectre goes down hard, crashing into the toxic water, thankfully he floats a little... for now...
[22:48]	Rabtar	the two boats hit eachother head on! Most of those on board both vessels stay up, but two of Silver_Shackles remaining pirates go flying, one into the drink the other into the Lolipop's wheelhouse smashing into the Captain and knocking him out. And poor Mercy is jarred and twisted about in the seat, her hoof getting caught in the controls, twisting her leg in a bad way...
[22:51]	Elektron	steadies himself after the collision and notices Spectre go down. He quickly pulls out the Plasma Defender and opens fire onto the Silver_Shackles
[22:54]	Rabtar	he misses and his weapon starts sparking as he fires again, hitting the pirate captain
[22:55]	Ragebrew	roared in blind rage as Spectre took it hard to the chest. "MIDNIGHT!" She looked at the "captain" dropped her pistol, and whipped out the Samaritan. She slammed in an color coded speed loader. Green, Red, Green Red. BLAM
[22:59]	Rabtar	the shot hit's Silver_Shackles solid, almost knocking the wind out of him
[23:03]	Merciful_Devotion	screams in pain as her left foreleg is wretched around. "Fuck!" She winces and struggles back into the turret seat, taking careful aim at the captain with the massive gun before firing.
[23:03]	Mad_Modd	sadly she can not depress the guns enough to shoot him, but one of his crew farther back can be shot up
[23:04]	Mad_Modd	and they're jammed...
[23:07]	Merciful_Devotion	groans and hops around, aiming at the captain with her LMG and firing. "I will DESTROY YOU, YOU INSOLENT BASTARD!"
[23:09]	Rabtar	her shots go wizzing right by the captains head...
[23:10]	Midnight_Hour	growls, firing a lightning bolt at the pirate captain before trying to teleport Spectre back onto the deck.
[23:13]	Rabtar	the captain goes down smoking and twitching, hitting the deck quite dead. Midnight_Hour even manages to teliport Spectre back to her, he's in bad shape though..... the gunshot and the toxic water not having done him any favors...
[23:14]	Rabtar	the last remaining pirate yells a piratey battlecry and charges at Midnight_Hour, trying to cut her with his sword
[23:14]	=-=	Silver_Shackles is now known as Blinkin
[23:15]	Rabtar	and his attack just bounces off her shield
[23:15]	Midnight_Hour	glares at the pirate. "Really?"
[23:16]	Blinkin	strandss agast "M..master NOOO" he yells loudly before chargeing foward grabing the glowing purple cutless, charges at Elektron in a blind dash swinging the sword randomly
[23:18]	Rabtar	the blind pony hits Elektron in the right rear leg, giving him an odd multicolored cut...
[23:22]	Elektron	cries out in pain and fires four shots at the pony with the cutlass
[23:23]	Rabtar	the blind pirate is blown away, dropping the sword to the deck with a dull thunk
[23:24]	=-=	Blinkin is now known as dead
[23:26]	Ragebrew	galloped over to Spectre, quickly checking his pulse and his breathing. Finding one was good enough. She pulled out a pair of potion. One of the huge gaping hole in his chest, the other to cram down his mouth.
[23:29]	Ragebrew	"No dying bat brain! I burnt down a circus to free yer sorry plot!"
[23:30]	Merciful_Devotion	growls and unleashes another burst of aimed autofire at the final late
[23:30]	Merciful_Devotion	*pirate
[23:32]	Rabtar	a few rounds actually hit him, giving him a few fresh bullet wounds
[23:34]	Midnight_Hour	glares at the pirate. "Just die so I can go back to sleep!" she snarls before lobbing two balls of balefire at the lone sea raider.
[23:35]	Rabtar	he decintrigrates in a ball of balefire
[23:36]	Elektron	quickly rushes over to where Ragebrew and Spectre are, giving a small wince whenever he walks on his hindleg and asks "Is he going to be okay?"
[23:37]	Merciful_Devotion	sits down and bites into her right hoof to muffle a scream of pain, them manages to stagger over to the rest of the group. "You... Got him, Rage?"
[23:38]	Ragebrew	was busy wrapping Spectre in a roll of bandages, tapping him lightly on the cheek "Wakey wakey bat brain."
[23:43]	Ragebrew	looked up "He'll live, barely... I need a proper set of medical tools to fix everything. But he ain't gonna die..." She looked to Merci, and her leg. "Oh hell... Hold still, this is gonna hurt, but I can reset it..."
[23:44]	Merciful_Devotion	"I'll be okay for a moment... Check on the others first, okay?"
[23:44]	Ragebrew	nodded, then checked on the captain and Spork.
[23:45]	Elektron	looks over at his hindleg "Hey Rage, its not important but... do you know why this cut is ... coloured?" he says, sticking it out at him
[23:46]	Ragebrew	paused and looked at Elektron "What?" She looked down at the cut, and her eyes went wide. "Oh Sisters...." She looked up at Elektron "That's.... Taint. Wash it off. NOW." She pulled off her canteen and shoved it at him.
[23:47]	Midnight_Hour	just stands there, shifting her glare between the pile of glowing ash and the twitching dead body of the pirate captain before screaming. "I hate boats!"
[23:47]	Elektron	's eyes widen "WH-WHAT? BUT IT WAS ON A SWORD... WHY WOULD THEY PUT IT ON A SWORD?!" He shouts, desperately trying to wash it off
[23:49]	Merciful_Devotion	hobbles over to Midnight_Hour. "Easy there hun. I'm none to fond of them any more either, mmkay?"
[23:50]	Ragebrew	looked at the mentioned sword. "Because evil fucked up ponies are evil and fucked up?" She waited for Elektron to clean out the wound before looking at it. "It's not deep, it'll heal on it's own shortly... And calm down. Ya didn't explode into cancer, so yer not gonna die."
[23:50]	Midnight_Hour	smoulders with hate.
[23:50]	Elektron	gulps "Are you sure?- I'm not going to die a slow death as something inside me slowly dies?"
[23:51]	Merciful_Devotion	sighs. "Look Midnight, I know we're not exactly friends... But please, it's alright now."
[23:52]	Ragebrew	looked to Elektron. "Well, I got tainted a while ago and I started to itch real badly before I fwuffed the fuck out. SO maybe ya will die in the next few hours, days, whatever. But hey, that's already a given in the waste. Now calm down. I need to check on the crew."
[23:53]	Elektron	nods and sits down, looking over at his leg every few seconds
[23:54]	Ragebrew	trotted by the sword, looked at it for a moment, and just tapped the handle with her stone hoof. Can't taint rocks... Right? Into the water it goes.
[23:59]	Rabtar	the group is stuck on what has become a floating hulk, drifting the wrong way down river..... 7500xp for getting through this fight..... mostly
