Piss_Poor_Group side session #1

[19:18:52]	Mad_Modd	Ragebrew has galloped off towards Swirlston with the raider filly on his back. Hoping that there would be a doctor who could help treat the little raider. After an hour or so at full gallop, avoiding the odd radscorpion bloat sprite, Ragebrew is but a few minuets away from the small town.
[19:21:41]	Ragebrew	huffs and puffs, but keeps galloping at full pace. He knew the little filly wouldn't last long. He looked far ahead to the town, looking for any guard or watchpony to flag down. He was sure the dust cloud he was kicking up would herald he approach nicely.

[19:26:42]	Mad_Modd	as he comes up on the old Star Swirl Mana station that now served as a trade post for the town, a pair battle saddle armed earth ponies stallions trot out to. One of them calls out "Hey! Slow down! What's the rush?" while the other just points his saddle mounted rifle at Ragebrew
[19:29:28]	Ragebrew	comes to a screeching halt, leaving a few grooves in the dust behind him. "I got a drug addled filly who's been raiding the outlying areas with a bunch of her twacked out friends with fucking dune buggies. We managed to take this one alive, but she's crashing hard on whatever she's been dosing herself with."
[19:30:57]	Mad_Modd	the stallion just raises his eyebrow "And... you want to help... a raider. Why exactly?"
[19:31:35]	|<--	Ignis has left luna.canternet.org (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
[19:32:16]	Ragebrew	"She knows shit I don't. If there is a band of raiders riding around with dune buggies, I'd like to figure out as much as I can about 'em before I purge 'em from the waste. Plus, not like I am gonna leave a harmless filly to die in the wastes. She can't hurt me any more, I got no reason to let her die."
[19:34:49]	-->|	Ignis ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
[19:38:59]	Mad_Modd	the stallion just sighs "Fine whatever. It's your caps." turning to the other guard "Bring em to ol Sawbones." the other just rolls his eyes and nods "Yeah yeah. Follow me. You wanna wase yer caps of some fuckin raider be my guest" and leads Ragebrew towards a small walled off area about a hundred yards behind the trade building
[19:40:20]	beyond the walls site a lone guard tower, and what was once a mine, now covered over with a sturdy door "Behave yourself."
[19:41:00]	Ragebrew	trotted in, giving the guard a grin. "Not wasting caps if it makes caps later." He followed behind the guard closely, looking around the town. "Always do, sir."
[19:42:42]	Mad_Modd	trots up to the door and knocks a few times "Got an outsider to see the doc." a gruff angry voice responds "Twenty caps for outsiders!"
[19:43:39]	Ragebrew	fished out the very last of the caps they had earned from Busted Flats. He had all but 2 caps to rub together now...
[19:45:08]	Mad_Modd	the door opens and an old crusty looking stallion take Ragebrews caps and motions for him to come in "That usually don't work. Anyway what ya here for?"
[19:46:15]	the little raider filly has begun to shiver again, the fixer beginning to wear off
[19:47:14]	Ragebrew	looked at the stallion. "Figure pissing ya off isn't in my interests, sir." He stepped inside, gesturing to the... unconscious, bound, and very filthy filly on his back. "Long story short doc. Filly raiders in dune buggies with SMGs killing traders. Killed them back. Took one alive to question for info. Drugged to sin. Most likely dying due with withdrawls. Need yer help."
[19:49:49]	Mad_Modd	"Raider fillies with what now? Never heard o no 'buggy' b'fore. That some kind of radscorpion?"
[19:50:48]	Ragebrew	"Ya ever seen those wreck hulks on the roads? The ones with four wheels, explode if ya hit 'em too much? Well, imagine one of those, made of scrap, wire, and gum. They blow up real good."
[19:51:25]	"Zooms around the waste real quick. They had two of 'em. One plowed into a brahmin. Then exploded."
[19:52:26]	"Now doc, I ain't got time to give ya the full story. Can ya help me keep this filly from dying? Fixer we gave her is starting to wear off."
[19:52:28]	Mad_Modd	the old timer just shrugs and turns pointing down the tunnel "Keep left. Ol Saebones is at the end of that there tonnel"
[19:52:47]	"I ain't no doc"
[19:53:50]	Ragebrew	"Right, thanks." And off he went trotting. "Sorry, not a bright pony." He moved just shy of a gallop down the tunnel, yelling at anypony who blocked his path "Dying filly, coming through!"
[19:56:40]	Mad_Modd	a few ponies jump out Rages way as he makes his way down the musty cavern, passing several walled off portions that were being used as homes. At the end of the tunnel was and old shack that looked like it was washed in during a flood
[19:58:28]	Ragebrew	rushes by those who moved out of the way with a very quick "thankya!" before bolting up to the door. Figuring it was a "Clinic, and not a private home, he just opened the poor and looked about quickly "Is there a doctor in this place?!"
[19:58:39]	Ragebrew	up to the shack*
[19:59:15]	Mad_Modd	inside there was only two beds, both empty, and a few cabinets strewn about, the floor somehow level. In the back a middle ages mare with grey mane and green coat and a hacksaw for a cutie mark, sits behind an old desk, apparently taking a nap
[20:00:38]	Ragebrew	"Ah hell..." He quickly walked up to the napping mare, and gently nudged her a few times. "Ma'am. Pardon me, ma'am! Yer Sawbones, right?"
[20:01:56]	Mad_Modd	she yelps and jumps "DAMNIT JIM! I'm a mare not a machine! ...oh you're not Jim. What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy!?"
[20:02:54]	Ragebrew	took a step back, bowing his head. "Ma'am, I am sorry to wake ya, but I can't wait. I got a dying filly on my back, and I can't help her. She's going into withdrawals, and the dose of fixer I gave her is running out."
[20:04:22]	Mad_Modd	"What are you doing giving a filly chems buck!? Are you daft?" and she points at one of the beds "Throw her up there and let ol Sawbones have a look"
[20:05:35]	Ragebrew	quickly put the filly on the bed, and went about undoing her bindings. "I'd never give anyone chems unless it was death or addiction, ma'am. She's a raider filly, and she knows things I'd really like to know." He was lathered in sweat, and several of his bandages were bleeding through.
[20:08:15]	Mad_Modd	she just kinda blinks "You telling me this little filly is a raider!?" and she just gives her a long sad look "I'll do what I can. Ain't gunna be cheap though. Can't work for free." and she begins to examine the little raider
[20:10:17]	Ragebrew	nodded. "She pumped a good number of bullets into my hide before we managed to bring her down. All of 'em musta been twacked out of their minds. Figure they got a den, and I wanna know where it is. As for payment, I can offer part now, rest when my crew arrives. I was the only one fit for making the gallop here from the battle."
[20:12:42]	Mad_Modd	she going over to one of the cabinets and pulls out a strange... box with many tubes coming out of it "I don't have none of that fancee arcanotech stuff but this here works just as good. Takes longer though. We'll talk payment in a minute. She's hooked on rage. Bad at that, even if I can help her there mite be perminte side effects. You still want to do this?"
[20:13:44]	Ragebrew	nodded. "Ya can work around handicaps. Ya can't work around dead. Hook it up."
[20:18:28]	Mad_Modd	"Right then. Tie her to the table. Don't want her wakin up half way through and takin the tubes out." as she starts to prep the strange machine, dunking the needles in a cup of strong alcohol before finding a vein and pushing the needles in, and inserting another tube... somewhere unpleasant "Hope this thing still works. Been a while" and she pushes a big red button on the top
[20:20:22]	Ragebrew	quickly reuses all the rope, restraining the filly so she couldn't even wriggle about or move her legs. "Have faith in the little machine." He tied off a knot under the bed, well away from the filly's reach, "At least it doesn't get much work put into it."
[20:24:47]	Mad_Modd	the machine sputters for a moment then begins to hum steadily, a sick looking orange goo flowing down some of the tubes while blood flows up the others towards the machine "There we go. Gunna need some more orange goo after this but it looks like we got enough for this little filly here. We'll know more when the treatment is done with."
[20:26:27]	Ragebrew	nodding, watching the strange device work for a moment before turning away. "If I ever find this orange goo yer talking about, I'll be sure to try and get it to ya. I'm surprised as all sin that ya actually had something like that down here."
[20:26:59]	Mad_Modd	the doctor follow him out "Now about payment."
[20:28:19]	Ragebrew	turns to the doctor "Aye, brass tacks it is. I believe ya when ya say it's pricy, but just how pricy we talking?"
[20:30:04]	Mad_Modd	she taps her chin a few time "Hmm... bout three hundred should do it. Less you wanna go find me some of that orange goo? Bring me a good amount of that I'd call it even"
[20:31:55]	Ragebrew	nodded. "I doubt I'd find any soon enough to pay ya before the filly got unhooked. How long ya figure it'll take her to get off the rig? I got my crew coming along soon, and they got a good haul of gear. Should be in within a day."
[20:32:40]	Mad_Modd	"As bad as she is. I'd say two whole days. Three at the most"
[20:32:59]	Mad_Modd	say about*
[20:34:34]	Ragebrew	nodded. "Then I give ya this offer." He pulled The Samaritan out from it's holster, setting it on the ground. "Ya hold onto that until my crew arrives and we can work out proper payment. If they don't show and I'm lying, ya got yerself a one of a kind thump gun to show for it at least."
[20:37:04]	Mad_Modd	the doctor sighs "I should figured you wouldn't want to do the job. The last pony who went to get some of the goo didn't come back"
[20:38:19]	Ragebrew	chuckled, giving the mare a grin. "Never said I wouldn't take the job. And if yer willing to wager what goo ya had on me coming back alive, I'll take ya up on it."
[20:41:27]	Mad_Modd	"I do. It's to useful to not have around. Hell you can make a half assed Rad-Away if you want. Mite be willing to share the recipe if you bring back enough"
[20:41:53]	Mad_Modd	out of it if you want*
[20:43:11]	Ragebrew	ears perked up. "Always happy to add a new recipe to my book. Sure ya got a place in mind for me to scour over."
[20:46:06]	Mad_Modd	Sawbones chuckles nervously "That's the trouble. It's pretty much radbee wax. And there none to happy about giving it up. Sometime you can hit em with smoke and get away with taking some before the bees realize what's going on. Ya see the smoke knocks em out or something"
[20:47:55]	Ragebrew	nodded. "I've used smoke to clear out caves before. If nothing else, my might choke 'em to death with enough. As for bees... Ya got any anti venoms ya'd be willing to part with? Sure we're gonna need 'em."
[20:48:57]	Ragebrew	"All for a fair price, of course."
[20:49:23]	Mad_Modd	she shakes her head "Ran out last week. One of the foals was poking the hive around and got stung"
[20:51:37]	Ragebrew	shrugged. "Guess we just need to take out a few outlayers, harvest the glands. I can brew 'em up, just rather have a few on hoof before we went out. Also, ya want the population thinned a good bit? Not wiped out, just... trimmed a bit."
[20:53:38]	Mad_Modd	the doctor shrugs "Don't care either way. Just don't be killin the queen. We will need more eventually"
[20:55:38]	Ragebrew	nodded. "Alright then, we got a deal doc. I'll fetch ya a good bit of wax and try not to kill the big one, in exchange for that filly's treatment. As soon as my crew arrives and gets a bit of rest and reload time, we'll head out to the hive."
[21:02:08]	Mad_Modd	"We'll be waitin." and she trots back into her clinic, checking on the filly before going back to her nap
[21:05:57]	Ragebrew	holsters his revolver shotgun, and proceeds out of the clinic. Two days, enough time. He trotted up to the first local he saw, and asked "Pardon me, do ya have any place that sells food and herbs?"
[21:07:06]	Mad_Modd	Rage had asked a young mare in her early teens "Go to the old mana station. DUU!" and she trots off
[21:08:37]	Ragebrew	tips his hat to the young mare. "Thank ya ma'am." Paying her rudeness no heed, he walked up the door guard. "I gotta pay again to get back in? I am gonna be running an errand for the Doc, something about bees wax, and I wanna know I am gonna have to cough up a hundred caps to get my crew in to see the doc."
[21:12:05]	Mad_Modd	the old stallion from before chuckles "Naaa... less I forget you. Ol doc got you doin a goo run? Luna protect ya, that's a dangerous job that." and he open the door letting Ragebrew out, closing the door behind him
[21:13:04]	Ragebrew	grinned. "If it was easy, she wouldn't be offering me three hundred caps for it." He hustled to the Mana station. "Ya carry any herbs here?"
[21:15:55]	Mad_Modd	inside the old station a single off white stallion stands behind the counter, a few shelves dot the small space mostly filled with food or junk of varying kinds, the stallion looks to Rage when he enters "Well howdy! Welcome to the Swirlston tradin stop. Take a look around and don't cause no problem. Them guards is right outside"
[21:16:50]	Ragebrew	looked at the stallion, covering in bandages that were almost as red as his coat. "Just here to make a trade, sir. Not a bright pony, not a dumb one either."
[21:18:00]	Mad_Modd	the stallion just nods and smiles, motioning to the shelves
[21:21:02]	Ragebrew	quickly looked over the stock, the anti pony grenade launcher striking his interest. "Well damnit all. Ya got a lot of stuff I'd like, but nothing I need now." He clicked his tongue. "But I'll be back in a day or so, and we'll see about swapping stock." He turned to leave.
[21:22:44]	Mad_Modd	"Alright! Y'all come back now ya hear!" and pulls out an old magazine of some kind once Ragebrew is gone "Mmm... Spitfire edition"
[21:24:06]	Ragebrew	sends the hours he will be waiting for the rest of the group scouring the surrounding area for useful plantlife and water.
[21:25:49]	Mad_Modd	Ragebrew finds many herbs and edible items in his foraging
[21:26:10]	Ragebrew	"Finally! Somewhere fertile!"
[21:31:05]	Ragebrew	sends the twilight hours next to the city walls, cooking away at his alchemy kit. As always he was way too energetic for a pony who just galloped for hours, then spent some time foraging. All around the alchemy kit he danced.
[21:44:54]	throws all the green herbs into the brew, adding a touch of water, and a sprinkle of some off colored moss. "These look good. Although that third bottle looks... A little off. Eh." Next... Came the madness. Pouring the Rage and Dash into the kettle, he mixed the highly addictive chems together with his blue herb. Who knew what would come of it.
[21:50:50]	Mad_Modd	the rage and dash mix spark and smokes, sending up a nasty cloud of green smoke
[21:52:30]	Ragebrew	leans away, coughing as he waves away the cloud. "Right, figure that *Cough* might happen." Still, nothing ventured nothing gained. "Maybe I need to do it cold, or with an herb extract instead."
[21:58:06]	Mad_Modd	Ragebrew sits and brews away, waiting for the rest of the group to arrive so they can all go deal with the radbees and retrieve some of there wax for this 'orange goo'
