  1. 01[20:17] <Botherer> Day 18. Before the sudden intrusion of the strange Cosmoknight figure, Mother Swanna had given our young heroes their next instructions. Disruptions in the Dream World had been tracked back to within the Eternal Nightmare, a ruinous mess of a dark, decrepit void, where near all that lurks within is dread, despair, and enough horrifying messes of things to make little girls tremble in fear... Amongst all that other good stuff. Given directions to a contact in Port Town who could safely bring them into the Eternal Nightmare, they set off in pursuit of this contact, a man who only goes by the name of "The Cap'n."
  2. 03[20:19] * Falcon is now known as Michael

  4. 06[20:22] * Michael struts along with the group, all his pokemon out save for one conspicuous pokeball that remains strapped on his belt

  7. [20:23] <Michael> "I really hope this meeting goes smoothly, the fact that we were attacked before we even set out is troublesome"
  8. 02[20:23] * Rainy (b@sux-C5665C08.sub-166-249-132.myvzw.com) Quit (Ping timeout)
  9. 03[20:24] * Rainy (b@sux-AB438A8F.sub-166-249-129.myvzw.com) has joined #Dreamscape
  10. [20:25] <Rainy> "Are we theeeerrrreeee yet?" Rainy's less exasperated and more excited. But she's not really sure what they're supposed to be doing because she paid zero attention to the speech on the matter. "Are we going for ice cream?"
  11. 02[20:25] * Addy (b@sux-3B0805A0.sub-166-249-130.myvzw.com) Quit (Ping timeout)
  12. [20:28] <Michael> "Heh, I don't think there will be ice cream where we are going Rainy, but you never know, we just might get lucky"
  13. 06[20:29] * Michael frowns slightly as he remembers the cosmo knight's Vannilish
  14. [20:29] <Michael> "Heh...lucky"
  15. [20:30] <Rainy> "Really? My dad says getting lucky helps you get wine. Or maybe that's backwards? But that's why some people eat wine juice with bread because they think the luck god will bless them."
  16. 01[20:30] <Botherer> You arrive at the main entrance to the town, and, well... At least on the outside it doesn't seem all too bad a place, contrary to what Lecia had been told previously. A fine stone pathway set and sealed leads the way to the port, and all around you can see that the town seems to be bustling with life. Young women singing and dancing from atop their balconies in harmony with the like of Delcatties and Ledian, all kinds of street performers and artists littering the streets... It really does seem much more lively with a more fun feel to it than Ye Olde Town did.
  17. 01[20:31] <Botherer> ... Until you look down one of the stray paths, anyways. It's as if someone painted over those dark alleyways with a paintbrush of pure, unbridled despair, beggars and homeless in tattered clothing pleading for change or beating each other senseless over things that seem trivial.
  18. 06[20:31] * Michael pokerfaces at Rainy. As always this little girl has seen and heard too much and understands blessed little. Just what were her parents thinking

  22. 06[20:33] * Michael doesn't know much about what it's like to be poor, for all he knows this is what it's always like
  23. [20:34] <Michael> "Life sure is weird sometimes"
  24. [20:34] <Rainy> "Can you juggle, Mimi?"

  27. [20:38] <Michael> "I...uhh, I don't know. Never tried"
  28. [20:39] <Rainy> Rainy sends out a swarm of magnemites. She has a pile float over near her and starts trying to juggle them.
  29. [20:39] <Rainy> 1d20-6 DEXTERITY
  30. [20:39] <DiceMaid-9001> Rainy, DEXTERITY: -4 [1d20=2]
  31. 06[20:39] * Michael pokerface
  32. 01[20:40] <Botherer> Rainy tries to juggle. She just ends up throwing the Magnemite 6,8Help-help! Col-lis-ion! Col-lis-ion immin-nen-tent!
  33. 01[20:40] <Botherer> They kind of just end up stuck to the metal in the balconies and the like.
  34. [20:40] <Rainy> "Hey guys, use your weird magnet stuff to pull them back, kay?"
  35. [20:42] <Michael> "That might be a problem... Hey ninja...any chance you can help them out?"

  38. 01[20:44] <Botherer> 1,8<Anything to assist my Master.> Ninjamolga starts crackling with electricity. E...ventually, they all wrangle themselves together, gravitating around the Emolga. 6,8MagMag wish, oh they wish... That you not, not do that!
  39. [20:44] <Rainy> "Sorry guys! I thought I'd be better at juggling because I practiced with fruit but they were rotten fruit that's how I got them for free and when I dropped them they went squishsplosh everywhere and it was kinda gross and I had to clean it up so I had Nini use dragon rage and then there was nothing left."
  40. [20:45] <Michael> "Good Job Ninja."
  41. 06[20:45] * Michael grins
  42. 01[20:46] <Botherer> 1,8<I am merely fulfilling my service to you, Master.>
  43. [20:47] <Michael> (man I need to get him something. Second most loyal pokemon. And that's only because Malto has a sideways 8)
  44. 06[20:49] * Michael nods "Appreciated nonetheless. There ya go Rainy, Ninja rounded em up for you"
  45. [20:50] <Rainy> "Are we going to get cotton candy?"
  46. [20:50] <Rainy> "Oh, and thank you Mister Nin nin!"
  47. [20:51] <Lecia> ONE LATENESS LATER...well, it definitely seems like she's looking at those terrible looking spots more than the rest, but she seems really keen on just finding this Cap'n fella. Not about to hold people back for her own things! She totally is quiet though.
  48. [20:52] <Michael> "Right then, mama said we were looking for a captain, so maybe down by the docks?"
  49. 03[20:52] * Yumeko (70c72a9a@sux-11491D6B.mibbit.com) has joined #Dreamscape
  50. 01[20:52] <Botherer> Incident aside, you walk through the town, catching glimpses of much of the same, though you probably do take notice of a few oddities along the way. Perceptions after the word blitz. The path leads you straight to the port, wooden docks, burly muscular sailors, storage warehouses, and most importantly, pirate ships, abounding.
  51. [20:53] <Rainy> 1d20+8 perception
  52. [20:53] <DiceMaid-9001> Rainy, perception: 27 [1d20=19]
  53. [20:53] <Lecia> 1d20+2 COMMENCE BANDWAGONROLLING.
  54. [20:53] <DiceMaid-9001> Lecia, COMMENCE BANDWAGONROLLING.: 19 [1d20=17]
  55. [20:54] <Michael> 1d20
  56. [20:54] <Michael> ...
  57. [20:54] <DiceMaid-9001> Michael, 1d20: 8 [1d20=8]
  58. [20:55] <Rainy> "Hey, how come everybody magically turns into a hobo if they walk down this street?"
  59. [20:56] <Michael> "Huh, what?"
  60. 06[20:56] * Michael looks around confused
  61. [20:56] <Rainy> "See, that guy? He looked all happy and clean and now he's dirty and sad."
  62. [20:57] <Rainy> "I have the bestest eyes in the world so I notice stuff like that without even using dragon rage."
  63. [20:58] <Michael> ...
  64. [20:58] <Lecia> Well whatever she saw, it clearly has Lecia looking hard, too. Now she's less paranoid about the place and more...rightfully paranoid of the place. "...We should hurry. Maybe when we're done over there, we can investigate this, but..."
  65. 06[20:59] * Michael walks over to the alley
  66. [20:59] <Rainy> "This reminds me of the time Miss Myuumyuu was in the Eating People Guru's belly and she looked all sad and didn't do anything and then a little lighty glowy thing jumped into her and she came back to normal and stuff!"
  67. [20:59] <Rainy> "Only opposite."
  68. 01[21:00] <Botherer> Michael, do you walk into the alley?
  69. 01[21:00] <Botherer> Or just towards it?
  70. 06[21:00] * Michael stops

  73. [21:01] <Michael> "Rainy, what?"
  74. [21:01] <Michael> (I was going to walk into it, yes, but RAINY WAT.) *
  75. [21:02] <Lecia> "...Oh right, I had nearly forgotten! Something like that did happen! Need to ask about that...but less talking, more searching for someone that sticks out as a Cap'n sort of person!"
  76. [21:03] <Michael> "But...this alley..."
  77. 06[21:03] * Michael puts a hand to his forehead
  78. 03[21:03] * DiceMaid-9001 is now known as Jessie
  79. [21:04] <Michael> "Something is clearly not right here"
  80. [21:04] <Rainy> "Hey, if you go in, you might turn into a hobo!"
  81. [21:04] <Lecia> "...Is there...hmmmm..." Lecia pays attention to people going in allies, along with people leaving them. If people, you know, ever leave them.
  82. [21:05] <Michael> "Hmm, maybe"
  83. 06[21:06] * Michael sighs and goes back to the group
  84. [21:06] <Rainy> "Oh! I know!"
  85. [21:06] <Rainy> "Mimi, go in the alley, and if you turn into a hobo, we'll use water to clean you off."
  86. [21:06] <Michael> "This eternal nightmare thing is probably more important anywa-"
  87. [21:06] <Michael> "What?"
  88. 06[21:06] * Michael is so confus
  89. [21:07] <Lecia> "...Oh! There we go. If we have to go in those, leaving should return you to normal. It just might make you dirty and miserable or something."
  90. [21:07] <Rainy> "How would you feel about being dirty and miserable, Mimi?"
  91. 03[21:08] * Jessie is now known as DiceMaid-9001
  92. [21:08] <Lecia> "...But would a Cap'n be in one of those things? Hmm...does seem likely, though I wouldn't put it past a captain to be at a more joyous tavern or something..."
  93. [21:09] <Rainy> "Why would a Captain want to be at a sad tavern, after all! Is a tavern an alley?"
  94. [21:09] <Rainy> "Because I don't see any captains in there I think."
  95. [21:10] <Michael> ...
  96. [21:10] <Michael> "Im curious"

  99. 06[21:10] * Michael walks into the alley to try and find the kid
  100. [21:11] <Lecia> "...Be careful!" Worry worry.
  101. [21:11] <Rainy> Rainy makes VWOOOOOSH sound effects with her mouth. Just in case it's actually a portal.
  102. 01[21:13] <Botherer> As Michael's body begins to work its way through, the results are almost instantaneous. He can feel his body begin to wither, his muscular construct turning into that of a flabby, withered, aged appearance; dirt and scrape wounds rapidly adorn his body, and his clothes look as if they'd run smack into a wall of twenty years' worth of aging, nearly falling to pieces. He looks back, and you can see his haggard, worn appearance as if he suddenly turned fifty. He also has a filthy grey beard now.
  103. 01[21:13] <Botherer> No glamorous sparkle effects, just *BAM*
  104. [21:13] <Michael> !?!hrng
  105. 06[21:14] * Michael walks the fuck back out
  106. 01[21:14] <Botherer> Aaand as quick as he retreats, the effect seems to instantly reverse itself.
  107. 06[21:15] * Michael touches himself to make sure everything is back in place
  108. [21:15] <Michael> "...that was...weird"
  109. [21:15] <Lecia> "...Yeeeep! Just like I expected, it'd be something like that! ...did those cuts hurt?"
  110. [21:16] <Michael> "they..felt like it yes. I felt a lot of pain...like I was really tired all of a sudden"
  111. [21:16] <Rainy> "I don't wanna go in there! I'm 11! I'm not supposed to be an adult for at least, like, two years!"
  112. [21:17] <Michael> "I felt...old"
  113. [21:17] <Lecia> "And of course it's weird. This place is...ooh, let's just find the Cap'n already! Should we head for the ships, look for a tavern..." NOT BE HERE seems foremost on Lecia's mind. Perhaps she has the same outlook as Rainy.
  114. 06[21:18] * Michael frowns, his face a mix of confusion and slight pain
  115. [21:18] <Michael> "Yea...lets do that"
  116. 06[21:19] * Michael looks back at the alley for a moment and then makes an about face and doublestep towards the docks
  117. [21:19] <Lecia> TO THE SHIPS! Clearly, a captain would be with his boat! And if not, he seems famous enough to be known by a sailor there, right? Onwards!
  118. 01[21:22] <Botherer> You make a quick double-up to the port. You see sailors and their Machoke and Poliwhirl and Poliwrath all hauling things off the port, as well as Wailmer and Mantine and Mantyke shooting out from the waters. A Pelipper scoops an unfortunate Remoraid out from the waters into its mouth and flies off into the still rising "morning" sun.
  119. 01[21:24] <Botherer> Your venture takes you to a rather massive, wooden ship, with what appears to be giant feathers sprouting out from the sides. An aged man, scar across his right eye, sporting a fine tuft of chest hair, bulging muscles that seem to have muscles of their own, most of which are visible if only because he wears a single sleeveless vest, and with one of those wooden pipes in his mouth... Basically, a man who some might say would define manliness, stands in front of this boat, staring off into the distance.
  120. [21:25] <Michael> (teach me master)
  121. [21:26] <Rainy> "HIIIIIII ARE YOU THE CAPTAIN, MISTER?"
  122. 01[21:28] <Botherer> The man turns to you. "Aye. Indeed I be the cap'n! These be some scary lands, little girl! You should be careful where ya step foot!"
  123. [21:29] <Rainy> Rainy checks her feet, "I don't see any poochyena doodoo anywhere, so I think it's okay! Are you gonna take us to... The..." She looks at the others for guidance, not remembering where they're going, "Was it the ice cream shop?"
  124. 01[21:30] <Botherer> Incoming terrible. Y/N?
  125. [21:30] <Lecia> Would I ever say N to terrible?
  126. [21:30] <Lecia> I wouldn't.
  127. 06[21:31] * Michael braces for impact
  128. 01[21:32] <Botherer> The pirate lets a merry smile out and ruffles Rainy's hair. "You better watch who ya say things like that to, little girl! If I were any like the scourge an' filth round here, I might hafta take ya up on that request!"
  129. 01[21:33] <Botherer> He did say terrible.

  133. [21:33] <Michael> :I
  134. [21:34] <Michael> "HI Captain, I'm Michael Humbridge, Mamma sent us?" Michael says, putting forth his shaking hand
  135. [21:34] <Lecia> Some people might not get it. But Lecia is too smart for her own good. Aaaaaaa. "W-we're looking for a way to get to the Eternal Nightmare!" Just blurt it out before it gets any worse!
  136. [21:34] <Rainy> Rainy feels like she's missing something. She leans over to Lecia and whispers, "I don't get it..."
  137. [21:35] <Rainy> "Would he take me to a poison ice cream shop?" she whispers.
  138. 01[21:37] <Botherer> "So yer the lotta kids the Big Mamma told me 'bout, eh? Was wonderin' when ya'd get here! Doubt you've weathered any big storms yet, but I got faith in the Mamma!"
  139. [21:37] <Rainy> "Storms are the best because then it rains!"
  140. [21:37] <Lecia> "Well, scourge and filth means not good people, and a not good person wouldn't take you to an ice cream shop at all! Or the person would, but then the person would kidnap you and not give you anything good to eat at all."
  141. [21:38] <Michael> :I
  142. [21:38] <Rainy> Rainy looks at Lecia for a few moments. "So, like that guy who promised me french toast but then never gave it to me?" FLASHBACK involving Josh.
  143. 01[21:41] <Botherer> The Cap'n removes himself from atop Rainy, taking up a stance, hands at his waist and chest overbearing that does little to hide his muscular composition. "So, yer all goin'a the Eternal Nightmare, are ya? Ain't the kinda place I'd go 'cept to make some lilly-livered scoundrel walk a plank or two, y'know!"
  144. [21:41] <Lecia> "If that's all that guy did, that's just a jerk. Not as bad as scourge and filth!"
  145. [21:41] <Michael> "Well, we have quite a few stories if you ever have the time to listen. But I'm sure you have a few of your own."
  146. [21:42] <Michael> "Don't worry, we can handle ourselves, right Malto?"
  147. [21:42] <Rainy> "Right! ...Oh, Malto. Sorry, I thought you said Rainy and Malto."
  148. [21:43] <Lecia> "...But right, business, we are, the nightmare shall bend before us! Or at least not bend us."
  149. [21:43] <Rainy> "Just kidding! But he's right!"
  150. 01[21:45] <Botherer> Malto pops up outta nowhere and wags his tail. 5<Yes. We have beaten several monsters before, as well as a dragon and a mean candle that tried to punch us in places that we should not be punched. Malto would have helped but he was too fat to be of assistance.>
  151. 01[21:46] <Botherer> <Cap'n> "Heheh! I like yer spirits, kids! Now, c'mon board! We got ourselves a Nightmare to venture into!"
  152. [21:46] <Rainy> "Oh, aren't nightmares bad?"

  159. [21:50] <Rainy> "Oh, cool. I'll beat evil up."
  160. 01[21:51] <Botherer> <Cap'n> "Aye, they be quite the terrors, y'know! You'd do well to stay clear a things like them! 'course, don't think y'got much of a choice what with the Big Mamma sendin' ya this way!"

  163. [21:53] <Rainy> "Evil knows to fear my Dragon Rage! Plus, we have a secret weapon evil doesn't even know about yet." Rainy winks at Lecia.
  164. [21:53] <Michael> ...
  165. [21:53] <Lecia> "Hehe, yep~"
  166. 01[21:56] <Botherer> You step aboard the ship, and if it didn't seem massive from the outside, its spaciousness on the inside sure makes it seem that way.
  167. [21:56] <Michael> "Nice ship"
  168. 01[21:57] <Botherer> The deck seems large enough that a massive arena of sorts is painted onto it, and myriad faceless grunts work tirelessly in an attempt to patch things up and make them run smoother.
  169. [21:57] <Rainy> "Nice boat."
  170. [21:57] <Michael> "Oh sweet an arena"
  171. [21:58] <Lecia> "Yep~" Not a spaceship, but it's still a ship! "Oh, an arena? Maybe we can warm up~"
  172. [21:59] <Michael> "Sounds like a great idea"
  173. 06[21:59] * Michael stretches
  174. [22:00] <Lecia> "...Should we talk before warming up, not warm up...oh, how long do you think the trip is gonna be, Cap'n?"

  176. 01[22:01] <Botherer> <Cap'n> "Ah, you fancy my arena, do ya? Well, lootin' an' pillaging merchant vessels upon the high seas is quite the thrill, but sometimes we just need t' kick back an' have ourselves some fun! When we ain't doin' any a' that piratin' stuff, we run ourselves a Gym aboard this ship!"
  177. [22:02] <Rainy> "Oh! Gyms have types, right? Are you a pirate-type gym?"

  179. [22:03] <Michael> "A...Rainy...I don't think that this is that kind of gym"
  180. [22:03] <Michael> "...Is it?"
  181. [22:03] <Lecia> "Oooh, a Gym, so they're things over here~ Maybe I'll open my own someday~" Maybe she'll build one in her secret base. Who knows!
  182. 01[22:04] <Botherer> "Of course we're a pirate gym! What make ya think otherwise?"
  183. [22:04] <Rainy> "Nothing! Because I knew it! What type of pokemon are pirate pokemon?"

  186. 01[22:08] <Botherer> The ship starts to move, the feathers on the sides rowing the pirate ship along. "Pirate Pokemon... They be fierce, brutal, terrifying... Strike swift and spare no mercy for the weak!"

  190. [22:12] <Lecia> Lecia idly wonders if they're actually riding on the boat of a villain for a moment. "I see, I see, that sounds like fun~" In other news, Lecia totally asked how long the trip was gonna be earlier.
  191. 01[22:13] <Botherer> Oh, the trip? I'd take a guesstimate of... Well, if it matters any, it doesn't seem as if you've been travelling for more than a minute that you can just barely see Port Town as more than a black speck behind you.

  195. [22:16] <Lecia> So clearly, the answer is 'not a long time'! That works well enough for her! "...I'm on a boat~" Everybody look at her, cause she's sailing on a boat! Take a good hard look at the motherfucking boat.
  196. 01[22:18] <Botherer> Gangrisu seems to have taken to the cannons. ... Well, he's running over there before Ninjamolga stops him. 1,8<One must learn to curb their frivolous desires to become a more whole entity.>
  197. [22:18] <Lecia> ...Sure, why not? She sends out Ignis and Nirvana, since Ignis is the least likely to get in trouble (The hard to say name Ferroseed might rip a hole in it by virtue of being a spikeball), and Nirvana is her daughter so WHY NOT?
  198. [22:20] <Rainy> Rainy sends out Chao-Chao. He's kinda piratey!
  199. 01[22:21] <Botherer> Nirvana pops out with her baby, and Ignis decides it's time to swap out her hats!
  200. 01[22:21] <Botherer> This time she pulls out what appears to be a veil, and as Nirvana starts running in place, Ignis puts it atop her.
  201. 01[22:22] <Botherer> She starts falling through the floor, and at the same time her face goes *poof*
  202. [22:24] <Lecia> "D-don't go overboard, Nirvana!" Worry worry worry.
  203. 01[22:25] <Botherer> You can hear Nirvana down below crying out in confusion. Seems the silly phased through the floor.
  204. [22:25] <Michael> ;-;
  205. 01[22:25] <Botherer> Chao Chao looks around at this strange vessel.
  206. 01[22:26] <Botherer> 1,10<Yes... A vessel such as this... Allowing rapid and efficient transportation across aqueous gaps... Commandeering such a vessel would prove EXCEPTIONALLY useful towards my plans for WORLD. DOMINATION!>
  207. [22:26] <Rainy> "We'll beat the gym later, Chao-Chao. We got other stuff to do right now!"
  208. [22:29] <Lecia> "Y-you can run back up...right? Right?" Worry worry worry. She starts looking for a way down in the meantime.
  209. 01[22:30] <Botherer> "Maaa!" Nirvana's totally able to scrawl back up to the top relatively quickly. His face is still missing, though.
  210. 01[22:30] <Botherer> ... Well, most of the time, anyways. Occasionally bits and pieces of it shimmer back into view as gusts of wind blow past.
  211. 06[22:31] * Michael notices nothing as he is busy tumbling around the decks with Malto
  212. 01[22:33] <Botherer> As you begin to travel, you feel the boat rock. 5"Malto enjoys being on the water because the water is where fish are made and fish are tasty. Malto wishes Michael would take him out to the ocean and feed him fish some time. Though he would want for them to be prepared well because otherwise Malto would get sick."
  213. [22:33] <Lecia> Her. "Oh, thank goodness...h-hey, where'd your face go~?" She knows it's a hat, but hey!
  214. [22:35] <Rainy> "Hey boat, can you go faster I have to destroy nightmares and stuff you know."
  215. 01[22:35] <Botherer> 1,11<Of course... I expect that you will bring me here at a later date so that we may CONQUER this vessel, CLAIM it as our own, and MAKE USE of it to SUBJUGATE ALL OF THE HUMAN RACE!>
  216. 01[22:36] <Botherer> The Cap'n lets out a haughty laugh. "Worry yerself not, little girl! This boat'll be there real quick! Just takin' to the sky fer max speed!"
  217. [22:37] <Michael> >sky
  218. 01[22:37] <Botherer> This is the part where you look over the side of the boat.
  219. [22:38] <Rainy> "Something like that, but we should get some ice cream too."
  220. [22:38] <Lecia> Lecia is definitely looking over the side of the boat.

  223. 01[22:39] <Botherer> You look over the side of the boat, and the water is rapidly making its way away from you, as a small island, exceptionally beachy with a few circular foresty patches bearing semblance to an egg, rapidly shrinks before your eyes.
  224. 01[22:40] <Botherer> As the boat continues to fly past, though, the water seems to just... Float off in random dimensions.
  225. 01[22:41] <Botherer> Everything below seems to smear into an inky blackness beneath you.
  226. 01[22:42] <Botherer> All you see, save the boat and your compatriots, is an occasional ball of water floating off.
  227. [22:43] <Michael> ...
  228. [22:43] <Lecia> "...whoooaaaaaaa~" It is fitting, considering their destination. But it's also really cool~
  229. 01[22:45] <Botherer> "This, my friends..." The Captain speaks up. "This... Is the Eternal Nightmare. Ain't nearly as pretty as yer thinkin', let me tell ya that right here an' now!"
  230. [22:46] <Rainy> "I'll make it as pretty as I'm thinking!"
  231. 06[22:46] * Michael stops tumbling holding malto at arms reach as he lies on his back
  232. 06[22:47] * Michael looks at the captain attentively

  234. [22:49] <Arae> <Lecia> "It's not exactly pretty..." Was that a 'yet? "But it's cool! Like the domain of a major boss! ...I won't let that distract me though!" Lecia is at attention!

  238. 01[22:51] <Botherer> <Cap'n> "First we're gonna need to land safe first! Gotta find a place to port right outside our-> You hear a strong impact, the shattering of wood, as the boat shakes furiously. CON checks!

  241. 01[22:51] <Botherer> ... Or STR. Either is good here!
  242. 01[22:51] <Botherer> Declare which one you're going at, though.
  243. [22:52] <Rainy> 1d20 CON
  244. [22:52] <DiceMaid-9001> Rainy, CON: 9 [1d20=9]
  245. [22:53] <Lecia> 1d20+3 Rather go with CON!
  246. [22:53] <DiceMaid-9001> Lecia, Rather go with CON!: 13 [1d20=10]
  247. [22:54] <Lecia> Michael!
  248. 01[22:55] <Botherer> The boat rocks back and forth furiously. Poor Rainy's thoroughly shaken up by the rocking, and falls over atop of Chao-Chao in huglike divebombing performance! Lecia doesn't do much better, simply falling to her knees as the ship buckles. "Aaargh, we've taken a hit!"
  249. [22:55] <Michael> oh
  250. [22:55] <Michael> 1d20
  251. [22:55] <DiceMaid-9001> Michael, 1d20: 6 [1d20=6]
  252. [22:55] <Michael> >or str
  253. [22:55] <Rainy> SQUEAK. "Whooooaahhhhhhh! Close one, Chao-Chao!"
  254. [22:55] <Michael> +7 to that
  255. [22:55] <Michael> won't roll again cause that's cheating
  256. 01[22:56] <Botherer> ... Strong Guy?
  257. [22:56] <Michael> ...so +12 then
  258. [22:56] <Michael> holy shit
  259. 01[22:57] <Botherer> Michael is able to grab on to a plank uprooted in the ground, and holds on with a grip that permits him to just barely hang on.
  260. 01[22:57] <Botherer> Another impact, and the two girls go overboard!
  261. [22:57] <Michael> (THIS IS NOT THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION)
  262. [22:57] <Michael> "Aw shit"
  263. 06[22:58] * Michael dives after them
  264. [22:58] <Lecia> "A-ah!" She gets up in a hurry, where she promptly goes over to see who shot them...where she promptly goes overboard. Oop! The big question is: CAN SHE FLY IN HER BUTTERFREE WINGS? And can she even put them on, for that matter?
  265. [23:00] <Rainy> Fortunately, Chao-Chao's getting dragged along for the ride. If they can at least land in water and not a spiraling inferno of death, hopefully he can save her!
  266. [23:01] <Lecia> She might have to make Granzon save Michael. But first thing is first: Can she fly, herself?
  267. 01[23:02] <Botherer> Lecia, you can indeed fly in your Butterfree wings! ... Okay, flying isn't quite the right word, but you can definitely avoid falling nearly as hard.
  268. [23:02] <Lecia> CLOSE ENOUGH. She'll send out Granzon to slow/stop Michael's descent, too.
  269. [23:03] <Michael> (im a superhero, don't worry about me, save rainy)
  270. [23:03] <Rainy> I'm a superheroooo tooooooooo!
  271. [23:03] <Michael> (save the smaller superhero then that doesn't have a shitton of reduction)
  272. [23:04] <Michael> (and the one that didn't dive in)
  273. [23:04] <Lecia> Chaos has that! ...Right? ...He...he does, right?
  274. 01[23:06] <Botherer> Michael, you hear the captain shout as you jump over. "Yer a brave idiot, y'know that, kid? Brave... But a complete fool!"
  275. [23:07] <Michael> (I know cap, I know)
  276. [23:08] <Lecia> ...He doesn't, does he. Sadly, Lecia doesn't have two fliers! So, Lecia's gonna attempt to make Granzon save Michael because simply DIVING is likely to leave him a lot more hurt than just falling over. As for Rainy, Lecia's gonna grab her and take the brunt of the fall! DEAL WITH IT.
  277. [23:08] <Giantree> (OMECHAAAAAAAAAAAA LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY)
  278. [23:09] <Giantree> (TAKE IT LIKE A MECH PROTAG LESSY)
  279. 01[23:09] <Botherer> Lecia, you're indeed capable of getting a hold of Rainy. Granzon pursues after Michael, and the two of them descend into the darkness below... Much quicker than either of you do, anyways.
