  2. [2015-04-15 13:42:07] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Shatara, Noble_Heart, Golden_Dream and Get_Lost are on the Umbra-class ship. The //Rainbow Connection//, its engine damaged, has been left to the boarding party. It is the Imperial's turn (after which we can roll new initiatives for the session). Imperials on board: Helmsmare, engineer, /Captain/...
  3. [2015-04-15 13:43:10] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Also, bright minigunner and small ballista gunner (horribly wounded and suffering massive and continuing cold damage from Shatara's use of the refridginator).

  6. [2015-04-15 13:43:46] <Mare-Do-Well> 3--- Session Begins ---
  7. [2015-04-15 13:50:53] <Mare-Do-Well> 3A commanding voice rings out! "Invasors! Occidite eos omnes! Viridi, mihi unum!" The helmsmare locks the Umbra ship on course and joins the Captain as she runs onto the deck to engage boarders. The bright minigunner unlocks his weapon from it's mounting and dashes to the deck, lifting it and opening fire.
  8. [2015-04-15 13:59:12] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The deck lights up in a brilliant cascade of light as the minigunner pours bullets at the fearsome purple alicorn that just appeared on the Imperial ship's deck.
  9. [2015-04-15 14:08:19] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The dying ballista zebra cranks the mechanical device over and over with every last ounce of her strength, firing several bolts at the propaganda-spewing Get_Lost. One of the shots strikes a critical blow.
  10. [2015-04-15 14:10:31] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Get_Lost crumples to the deck, dying.
  11. [2015-04-15 14:10:59] * Get_Lost is struck several times, until she falls to the ground, her visor flickers and goes out
  12. [2015-04-15 14:19:55] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Two more zebras appear on deck. The Captain is dressed in heavy tribunal armor bearing the same grey, green and cyan colors, but more ornate and with a battle saddle of unique design crafted into it. The sword in her mouth sheds inky blackness.
  13. [2015-04-15 14:19:55] <Mare-Do-Well> 3From the decorative markings, necklaces and bones, it appears the helmsmare is also the ship's shaman. She is dressed in lighter armor than the others on deck, but her coat crackles with odd energy.
  14. [2015-04-15 14:27:30] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The Captain turns towards Noble_Heart with a challenging shout, crouches, and fires her battle saddle. Four muzzle-flashes light up. Immediately after, the Captain tosses down a smoke grenade. Billowing grey smoke washes over the deck, obscuring everyone (for a turn before the wind blows it all away).
  15. [2015-04-15 14:35:30] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The shaman charges the shotgun pony...
  16. [2015-04-15 14:37:08] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The shaman attempts to take Golden_Dream out of the fight in one feel swoop, swinging about and delivering a powerful buck with both hind legs.
  17. [2015-04-15 14:43:06] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The mighty buck sends Golden_Dream sprawling.
  18. [2015-04-15 14:52:51] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The zebra shaman staggers slightly while regaining her footing, apparently taking some feedback. Then is enwrapped in the smoke like everyone else.
  19. [2015-04-15 14:53:08] <Mare-Do-Well> 3((CopyCat's Turn!))
  20. [2015-04-15 15:05:41] * CopyCat is in pain. Lots of pain. Tears stream from her eyes and run down her face, mixing with the blood that seeped from her head wound. But even through this fog she felt Get_Lost collapsing. Her friend on the verge of death. She focuses through the haze and her horn flares, sending healing energy through her fallen friend.
  21. [2015-04-15 15:08:16] * CopyCat drinks another potion. She only had small ones left but it still provided her great relief. Her panic became less overwhelming and thoughts started to make themselves heard. Bookwright couldn't do anything while they were both up here but she couldn't go down and face those guns again. She just couldn't.
  22. [2015-04-15 15:09:58] * CopyCat lifts Bookwright from the wagon with her magic and lowers him down towards the fighting on the deck. She didn't have time to explain but she hoped he'd understand this was all she could do right now.
  23. [2015-04-15 15:13:33] <Mare-Do-Well> 3((Golden_Dream's turn))
  24. [2015-04-15 15:14:12] * Get_Lost gasps for air the very moment she gets some sort of healing. the mare's visor lights up
  25. [2015-04-15 15:34:16] <Golden_Dream> ACTION takes the hit to the face, loses a tooth, and keeps rolling until she was back on her hooves. She was reminded of a song about a great flier during the war. Which one, and on which side escaped her between the carnage and the chaos. Tumbling, tumbling, tumbling down, the Red Sage came tumbling down. The domain of the sky, with a cacophanous cry, lost the bearer of it's crown. Instinct took over, three shots rang out from her shotgun. Heavy and loud.
  26. [2015-04-15 15:38:34] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The shaman is turned into a fine red mist.
  27. [2015-04-15 15:40:56] <Mare-Do-Well> 3(( Get_Lost's turn ))
  28. [2015-04-15 15:42:15] * Get_Lost fog. bad fog... not a problem, though: heat visor goes on. it's easy to track the others with the vision improvements she's got. pain everywhere, but she has something like 4 arrows in her body: taking a potion now would block them inside her flesh. not good. instead, noble and kid are staggering. she can fix that. two potions ready for two hurt ponies.
  29. [2015-04-15 15:45:31] * Get_Lost one potions goes, then goes the other. the mare stays next to Noble_Heart "would mind sharing some shield?"
  30. [2015-04-15 15:52:24] * Bookwright 's MASER falls to the deck of the airship. In its place rise Pew-Pew and the Jukebox gun, aimed at the zebra minigunner. The noise of their combined fire is an unearthly mixture of distorted electronic squeal and hideous ionizing crack.
  31. [2015-04-15 16:03:06] <Mare-Do-Well> 3(( Noble_Heart and Shatara, go! ))
  32. [2015-04-15 16:03:46] <Mare-Do-Well> 3One of the shots from Pew-Pew strikes the minigunner.
  33. [2015-04-15 16:06:29] * Noble_Heart nods her head to Get Lost. Her horn glows briefly, "Stay close to Us." Her shield swiftly raises again around the pair, assuming that Get Lost remains close enough at least. She turns her attention to the only visible, living zebra in the area. The minigunner. Her horn crackles with energy as she lowers her head to her shield, lightning streaking towards the heavily armed
  34. [2015-04-15 16:06:30] * Noble_Heart zebra.
  35. [2015-04-15 16:10:01] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The zebra drops the bright minigun and falls back, paralyzed and badly hurt
  36. [2015-04-15 16:12:19] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The ballista zebra expires as the cold kills him.
  37. [2015-04-15 16:46:24] * Shatara leaps forward as he draws Blood, sinking the bayonet through the throat of the paralyzed zebra. He felt the pleasure lifeforce flowing into himself through the necromantic weapon, making his feathers ruffle a bit. It felt good...but...wrong. This zebra was trying to kill them...and would certainly continue to try to do so the moment he recovered from his paralysis...but
  38. [2015-04-15 16:46:25] * Shatara finishing him like this felt like...murder. He shakes the unwanted morality away. There would be time for angst when his friends weren't dying. He pulls his bloodied bayonet out and searches for the captain through the smoke.
  39. [2015-04-15 16:56:35] * Shatara still can't make her out, so he beats his big ol gryphwings to disperse some of the smoke.
  40. [2015-04-15 17:01:37] * Shatara doesn't see sneakystripeypone, continues clearing smoke.
  41. [2015-04-15 17:11:59] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The Captain launches from her hiding place behind the landed Firewagon, climbing swiftly onto it as she strikes Bookwright three times from behind with the sword that is oozing darkness.
  42. [2015-04-15 17:27:41] <Mare-Do-Well> 3With the last strike, the energy of the sword steals the beneficial effects that CopyCat has been bestowing on Bookwright, giving them to the Captain. She then turns and fires her battle saddle at Noble_Heart.
  43. [2015-04-15 17:28:11] <Mare-Do-Well> 3((Was hiding behind cover rather than behind the firewagon then.))
  44. [2015-04-15 17:29:04] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The wind blows the rest of the smoke away. The Captain is now clearly visible.
  45. [2015-04-15 17:30:05] * Bookwright slumps and gets busy with the unpleasant and wholly involuntary business of bleeding to death.
  46. [2015-04-15 17:39:48] * Noble_Heart turns at the sound of Bookwright being attacked and the sudden blasting of her shield. The bullets impacted and splattered against the solid energy, failing to penetrate it, but none the less she seemed more than a touch angry. Her horn glowed brightly as she pressed it forwards, a series of brilliant flashes and purple lances of energy shot towards the captain.
  47. [2015-04-15 17:51:29] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The Captain fully believes that she can take all these ponies, considering how well her zebra soldiers softened them up. She continues to believe that right up until the arcane flurry from Noble_Heart that stuns her. That's when she begins to suspect she is in error.
  48. [2015-04-15 17:52:38] * Shatara gapes a brief moment as his blast doesn't even make a dent in the captain's armor. His demeanor quickly shifts to a dangerous snarl. "Alright, bitch. You think you're a tank...?" He slings his shotgun and digs deep into his pack. With a swift pull that would make Pinkie Pie proud, produces a massive rifle, as long as he from beak to tail, leveling it at the mare. He stands
  49. [2015-04-15 17:52:39] * Shatara on his hinds, wings spread to counterballance the beastly weapon, as light glints off the muzzle brake and scope with an audible /shing/. "...I'll treat you like a fucking tank."
  50. [2015-04-15 17:53:53] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The Captain's eyes go wide.
  51. [2015-04-15 17:55:09] * Golden_Dream 's mane flutters in the wind. She looks at the Captain. The captain probably isn't looking back at her. But she should listen. "Surrender or die."
  52. [2015-04-15 17:58:10] * Bookwright gurgles softly.
  53. [2015-04-15 17:59:54] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The Captain doesn't surrender.
  54. [2015-04-15 18:00:34] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The Captain does, however, look towards the railing, as if considering jumping.
  55. [2015-04-15 18:00:43] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Considering quite hard.
  56. [2015-04-15 18:00:58] * Shatara doesn't see any throwing down of weapons or begging for mercy. He pulls the trigger, the recoil pushing him back as he beats his wings to stay upright, a massive fireball erupting from either side of the weapon's brake, it's massive report tinged with an electric crackle.
  57. [2015-04-15 18:10:37] * Shatara throws the bolt on the massive rifle, feeding another round into the chamber as he resets himself, letting go another electric-blue blast into the Imperial captain.
  58. [2015-04-15 18:18:17] <CopyCat> ACTION (plus wagon) come swooping down land... crash... land-crash on the airship's deck. She comes to a halt and releases herself from her harness, collapsing beside Bookwright as her crippled leg completely fails to support her weight. CopyCat's breath is ragged and the mare grits her teeth in pain... but her horn glows with light and she speaks softly. "Magic please cast your light upon this stallion, my friend. Bring him back from
  59. [2015-04-15 18:18:46] <CopyCat> "Magic please cast your light upon this stallion, my friend. Bring him back from death and darkness. His flame has been extinguished, restore it!"
  60. [2015-04-15 18:20:07] * Bookwright mumbles something unintelligible
  61. [2015-04-15 18:21:09] * Golden_Dream reloads to drop the +P shells and put in their place some slugs. She looked like a hard nut to crack. That's okay. She's used to those. When there didn't seem to be any objections, there came four shots. "Don't say I never offered surrender." She spat, bitterly. She hated killing. She was /good/ at it, but she hated it.
  62. [2015-04-15 18:26:11] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Bookwright returns with a gasp of life. His eyes fly open... and are solid black. Bookwright is back with the living, but he cannot see.
  63. [2015-04-15 18:27:08] <Golden_Dream> ... Or there would have been, if the last slug wasn't a damp squib. She cursed, then opened the chamber to clear it. Not like the captain was living through that.
  64. [2015-04-15 18:29:21] * Bookwright groans. He rises to his hooves, and the Jukebox gun rises with him. It aims at the captain. "I can't see you, but I sure as hell can hear you, bitch."
  65. [2015-04-15 18:31:15] * Bookwright pulls the trigger. Sonic death rolls over the captain.
  66. [2015-04-15 18:36:45] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The grievously wounded Captain falls, collapsing onto the deck under the lethal sonic barrage. What happens next is so swift that it could leave witnesses questioning what they saw.
  67. [2015-04-15 18:38:36] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Even before the Captain's dead body hits the deck, it is engulfed in a wreath of green flame. The flame seems to burn away the visage of the powerful zebra, to consume coat, mane, eyes...
  68. [2015-04-15 18:41:56] <Mare-Do-Well> 3What is left isn't zebra, nor pony... but something black and insectoid, with tattered ears, pupil-less cyan eyes, fangs and a sharp horn. Then something within the armor -- or perhaps within its battle saddle -- erupts.
  69. [2015-04-15 18:42:12] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Plasma explodes across the corpse, a miasmac energy that splashes everyone nearby, even as it dissolves the body into nothing but a glowing puddle of green goo.
  70. [2015-04-15 18:42:20] <Mare-Do-Well> 3--- End of Session ---
  71. [2015-04-15 18:49:42] * Bookwright looks around. "Hey! Who turned out the lights?"
