Star Group Session 29

<@SilentBrony|GM> 3 ----------------------- STAR GROUP SESSION 29 BEGINNING ------------------------------------------------
01[21:26] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 We last left our Mareziona Irregulars deep in the confines of the dreaded pre-war ruins simply known as... 'The Hollow' deep inside the Sunshine Resort hotel. Having just vanquished a zebra stallion that seemed to have strange powers of blood and other alchemical tricks, they still have the onyx chalice floating in Roy_Calbeck's levitation to deal with, who has issued an ultimatium to them to leave the artifact and to begone with their presence.
01[21:28] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 We resume their journey in the V.I.P. megaspell bunker within the heavily fortified resort. The metal walls leading to a strange pool full of blood. The zebra's corpse lays on the ground, his own blood mixing with the pool. His strange wickedly curved dagger lays beside him, along with many bits and pieces of brain matter and skull.
06[21:29] * +Slag_Heap stomped him flat too. He breathes deeply, looking down at the beaten body.
01[21:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Once again... a dark otherworldly voice speaks to the entire group, with Sour_Grape herself hearing the voice as well, "Leave... the chalice... or you... will perish... in this... room.... I... am eternal... you are not..."
06[21:30] * +Sour_Grape looks around, "Right... we're gunna fuckin' scram, right?" She looks around for the source of the voice, "You're an ass face."
06[21:30] * +Sagittis blinks. "Well... we won." He looks to the others and grins. "Who's up for taking everything not bolted down?"
06[21:31] * +Sour_Grape "Are we taking the chalice too? Because mr. talky voice seems very fond'a it."
06[21:31] * +Slag_Heap looks at Sagittis. "Hell yeah."
06[21:33] * +Roy_Calbeck grunts, trying to drag the chalice away from the pool with his magic. "I think... I got it..."
01[21:33] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 To note there is also another door leading to the right, the metal room has a console with a large terminal screen, the remaining lit candles are still glowing pink. Those candles that were snuffed out are now relit somehow.
01[21:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck can easily lift the chalice in his magic, it isn't heavy at all. However once he does, the large circular door leading to their location once again, begins to grind the squashed scrap metal, attempting to fully seal, though it's a moot point, as no one in the group could hope to squeeze in the very tiny crack that exists.
06[21:37] * +Slag_Heap looks at Roy_Calbeck. "We need to dump it!"
06[21:37] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his head. "Not gonna let this sumbitch live..."
06[21:38] * +Sour_Grape "I'd like to live though. And the Chalice is probably not him."
06[21:38] * +Slag_Heap "How do you propose we kill him?"
06[21:38] * +Roy_Calbeck trots with the chalice over to the door, glaring at it. "Y'know, Big Bad Nasty Guy, I learned a few tricks while you weren't around..."
01[21:38] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The crack is not wide enough for the chalice to fit either.
[21:39] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Open this door, or the chalice leaves!"
01[21:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The handsome white stallion gets no response.
06[21:40] * +Slag_Heap blinks. "Living is my favourite past time. Just leave it."
06[21:40] * +Sour_Grape "Tha door's kind'a closed. And he already said we could leave if we dropped the chalice..."
06[21:41] * +Roy_Calbeck peers through the crack in the door. What does he see?
01[21:41] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck can just barely see past the crack, really only sees the metallic hallway connect to the concrete one that lead to this room to begin with.
06[21:41] * +Sour_Grape goes to look into the other room because nobody else seems to
01[21:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape finds the door leading to the other room refuses to budge. At all.
06[21:42] * +Sour_Grape is upset, so she shots guns the door hinge
06[21:42] * +Roy_Calbeck scrunches his eyes shut. "I wish... I wish... I WISH..." And then the unicorn casts Teleport.
06[21:44] * +Sagittis follows Sour_Grape, keeping an eye on Roy_Calbeck.
01[21:46] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The hinges are made of thick steel, similar to Stable doors. The shotgun blasts have no effect other than causing very loud noises. Roy_Calbeck teleports outside with the chalice, once doing so, there is a horrendous roaring sound, with the pink flames of the candles enlarging somewhat, causing the console inside the room near the terminal to make an electrical hissing noise and pop. The door stops moving now, but it doesn't open at all. The rest of the party still inside the room.
06[21:46] * +Roy_Calbeck drops the chalice and starts jumping up and down on it. "DIE DIE DIE!"
06[21:46] * +Slag_Heap blinks. "Where.... did he just bail on us?!"
01[21:46] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck stomps on the chalice, but it is apparently made of stubbornite...
[21:46] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Godsdammit."
06[21:47] * +Sour_Grape eeps and jumps back when things start going to shit, "Aww stop that ya fuck. Sheesh."
06[21:47] * +Sour_Grape looks over at Roy, "Can't ya teleport with us so we can escape?
06[21:48] * +Sagittis drops to a fighting stance and looks at the candles.
06[21:49] * +Roy_Calbeck peers back through the crack. "Don't have enough magic left. Couldn't have taken anypony to start with unless I was at full charge t'begin with..."
06[21:49] * +Slag_Heap growls and goes to the door. "Damn... won't be able to get leverage."
01[21:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck now hears the voice, still in it's same strange otherworldly effect, now seeming to mock the stallion, "You... have... doomed... your comrades... With... my last... effort... I... will erect... a barrier... to prevent... them... from escaping... by such means... that is.... unless... you return... the chalice.... and leave."
06[21:50] * +Sour_Grape looks around, "Hey, uh, guy. He can't return the chalice with the door closed."
06[21:50] * +Roy_Calbeck looks up and around. "Hah! Can't return it unless you open that door... I'm drained!"
06[21:50] * +Sagittis smirks and sneaks over to the door.
01[21:50] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 There is no further response, beyond a deep seated laughter that echoes and fades.
06[21:51] * +Slag_Heap growls. "Fuck... fuck fuck fuck..." He looks around the room, not seeing any other way out.
06[21:52] * +Roy_Calbeck looks through the door again. "So long as you can keep this crack open, I should be able t'recharge an' get you all out one at a time... but that's gonna take a while."
06[21:53] * +Slag_Heap sits. "Then I guess we wait."
06[21:53] * +Sagittis "Crap." He looks around and wonders if the candles are on sconces.
06[21:54] * +Sour_Grape grumbles and lies down, "Nice job Roy, doomed us all to death."
01[21:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The candles indeed are on sconces. The group was fairly exhausted as it was, to boot. Not really sleeping since they've been on this crazy jaunt.
06[21:55] * +Sagittis gathers up the sconces with extinguished candles.
01[21:55] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As stated, those  candles that were extinguished are somehow relit. Their flames still pink in color.
06[21:55] * +Sour_Grape "How much ya wanna bet if we go to sleep we'll have bad dream?"
06[21:56] * +Slag_Heap yawns.
06[21:57] * +Roy_Calbeck checks to see if the outer door can be secured.
06[21:57] * +Sagittis nods to Sour_Grape. "No way in hell I'm sleeping here." He looks around for a long bit of metal.
12[21:57] * Karina is now known as Spero
01[22:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The only thing metallic is the knife that the zebra stallion had.  Roy_Calbeck notes when he leaves with the chalice to the staircase and the remains of the floorboards leading to this location, the flames inside turn the normal orange hue. He finds that Slag_Heap did a very thorough job at smashing the floorboards that once covered this hallway to pieces.
06[22:01] * +Slag_Heap is best stomper.
06[22:02] * +Roy_Calbeck notes the change in the flames, and tries stomping the chalice again.
01[22:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck can't note, as Sagittis moved the candles doing whatever he was attempting to do.
06[22:03] * +Roy_Calbeck hms and decides to rest here.
06[22:04] * +Roy_Calbeck mutters, "Anything comes, at least I got a little distance fer a fightin' retreat..."
06[22:04] * +Sour_Grape searchs the dead zebra for any useful shit
06[22:04] * +Slag_Heap leans back against the wall. "I don't suppose anypony brought any board games."
06[22:04] * +Sagittis calls out. "Yo! Whatever you did made the fire less evil!"
06[22:05] * +Roy_Calbeck flicks his ears, turning around back towards the hall again.
01[22:06] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape finds a strange rolled up piece of parchement paper in the corpse' belongings as well as a bulging sack of caps. Two hundred to be exact! Score! There is also the dagger he has, which was made of the same onyx material as the chalice, including a beautiful azure gem embedded under the blade at the hilt. There is also two strange vials of a viscous reddish brown mixture inside empty soda bottles.
01[22:07] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Once Roy_Calbeck returns, the candles go back to their pink color.
06[22:07] * +Roy_Calbeck trots back down the hall to the crack in the door. "What was that?"
06[22:07] * +Sour_Grape gives the paper to Dust Off, the vials to Sagi, and pockets the caps, then she notices the knife, "What if you stab the knife inta tha chalice?"
06[22:07] * +Sagittis "Nope! Evil again!"
[22:08] <+Roy_Calbeck> "What's evil again?"
06[22:08] * +Sagittis takes the vials and cocks an eyebrow before putting them in his bag.
06[22:08] * +Sagittis "The fire! Turned pink when you came back!"
[22:08] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Oh really?  Hang on, lemme try something..."
06[22:09] * +Roy_Calbeck goes back to the stairwell, as far as he was previously, and tries to damage the chalice by stomping on it, this time with his hoofknucks.
06[22:09] * +Sour_Grape "What? Ya got a lot of shit with vials, so ah figured ya could use them." She takes the knife and slides it through the door over to Roy, "Use that on tha chalice."
07[22:09] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Dust_Off
06[22:10] * +Roy_Calbeck waits to see if the knife can get through.
01[22:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Knife's blade can stick through the door, the hilt cannot.
06[22:11] * +Sagittis nods to Sour_Grape. "Thanks."
06[22:11] * +Roy_Calbeck tries scraping the chalice against the blade where it pokes through.
01[22:11] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck /swears/ he hears a lighter otherwordly giggling.
06[22:11] * +Slag_Heap watches, as he wouldn't be useful in this situation.
[22:11] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Hm.  Nope."
06[22:12] * +Dust_Off HAS been trying to examine the console with the late Ammy's tools to see if she can fix it.
06[22:12] * +Roy_Calbeck takes the chalice back down to the other end of the hall, by the staircase, and stomps on it with his ponyshoes.
06[22:12] * +Sour_Grape grumbles and takes the knife, "Fiiiine." She tries to stab the secondary door then
06[22:13] * +Dust_Off glances at Slag_Heap, "Heap, search room.  See if there's anything else useful."
06[22:14] * +Slag_Heap nods and starts searching.
01[22:15] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape successfully stabs the large door. It was... kind of hard to miss, even with her lack of skill. Once she does, she notices with supra-clarity that there is a tinge of... frost? On the door? There is only a very tiny scratch, barely anything. Slag_Heap finds nothing except the candles.
06[22:16] * +Slag_Heap looks over at Dust_Off. "Nothing but candles."
01[22:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off manages to succesfully inspect the console near the terminal, seeing that the internal wiring and other vital componets that keep the machine operational are completely fried beyond repair. It would require replacement parts that she does not possess.
01[22:17] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap also sees the zebra corpse again, but there's nothing remaining on it.
06[22:17] * +Slag_Heap growls. "Fuckin cunt..."
06[22:18] * +Dust_Off snorts, "Leave the candles, probably cursed...or made from melted ponies or something."  She sighs at the console see if she can salvage anything from it.
06[22:18] * +Sour_Grape "Slag, do me a favour."
06[22:20] * +Slag_Heap looks over at Sour_Grape. "What's up?
01[22:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Winding back in time, we stop this current chain of events to return in the past just up to the moment that Roy_Calbeck took the Chalice from the blood pool and was intent on teleporting outside of the room. The group had already looted the body of the zebra stallion, 200 bottle caps, a strange rolled up parchment, as well as his onyx dagger with the azure gem embedded in it.
01[22:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Now that the recession was being somewhat cooperative, the only difference is now Dust_Off can speak properly to the group.
06[22:23] * +Roy_Calbeck peers through the door at the hallway outside. "I wish..."
06[22:24] * +Dust_Off blinks, suddenly feeling vocal and not like a spectre.  "gunny Calbeck, stop!"
06[22:24] * +Roy_Calbeck snaps to attention, turns and salutes. "Ma'am?"
06[22:24] * +Sour_Grape looks around, "I just had a day dream that something went horribly wrong."
06[22:25] * +Slag_Heap is still sitting by the wall.
06[22:25] * +Dust_Off looks around.  "Put the Chalice back.  We can deal with this but moving it won't do is much good."
[22:26] <+Dust_Off> *do us
06[22:26] * +Roy_Calbeck nods, somewhat reluctantly. "Yes, ma'am. Figured I could get it outta here an' maybe destroy it..." He trots over to the podium and puts it back where it began.
06[22:27] * +Sour_Grape "I still think we should mega spell da fuck."
06[22:27] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at Sour. "Megaspell what, exactly? This chalice?"
06[22:28] * +Sour_Grape "This room."
06[22:28] * +Slag_Heap stays out of the way. He has no ideas on what to do.
06[22:29] * +Roy_Calbeck looks around at the pool of blood, the podium, the chalice, and the screen. "Don't think that'd do much to 'im."
06[22:30] * +Sagittis looks between Sour_Grape and Dust_Off. They had his boom booms after all.
06[22:31] * +Dust_Off shrugs, "Balefire has the power to undo a great many things.  But who knows, put it back and let's focus on getting out of here, alive and
01[22:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 -10 Karma to... Dus... hey wait...
06[22:31] * +Roy_Calbeck thinks about it. "Maybe, I could teleport the chalice out with a balefire egg IN it, take it outside, detonate it there, an' you'd all be safe down here..."
[22:32] <+Dust_Off> more wealthy.  Sagittis, the sconces.  Leave the candles they're probably melted pony or something."  She goes to check the console.  "Grape, check that side door."
06[22:32] * +Sour_Grape goes to check the side door, then stabs it with the knife, so much Deja vu
06[22:32] * +Roy_Calbeck has put the chalice back on the podium by this point.
06[22:34] * +Dust_Off glances at Roy, "Later, with destroying more with the getting us out first. Though i figure this chamber would survive a small balefire mostly.  It 'd collapse a bit but not break the surface."
01[22:34] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape stabs the door for the fun of it. Why? Because she's a filly, that's all the reason you need. Oh look, tiny scratch with frost? How weird. The door opens easily, revealing a small hallway that leads at the end a large sturdy ladder leading directly up. Painted next to the ladder reads, 'Emergency Exit.' but Sour can't read! Ohmigosh filly! The Chalice returns to it's resting spot, while the group plots it's possible demise around it.
06[22:34] * +Roy_Calbeck nods again. "Yes, ma'am."
06[22:35] * +Slag_Heap is still doing nothing.
01[22:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 In the hallway is also three other doors, two on the left, one on the right, all made of thick steel, like stable door.
06[22:35] * +Roy_Calbeck checks the elevator shaft, because he seems to recall one being there.
06[22:35] * +Sagittis needs little encouragement to take stuff and does so. "Either way; we made it here, we should probably try to do something about this before this happens again."
06[22:35] * +Sour_Grape "Hey guys, there's words over here."
[22:36] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Well, I could use a couple hours' rest to recharge my magic, if we've got that kinda time."
01[22:36] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The console lights up, with the small screen in green reading on it, "Open blast door. Integrity 88%" there is a lever on the console.
06[22:37] * +Slag_Heap gets up and makes himself useful. He trots over to Sour_Grape. "What do we have here." He reads it. "Yo guys, we have an Emergency Exit over here."
06[22:37] * +Roy_Calbeck pricks his ears up. "Somethin' tells me that'd be too easy..."
06[22:39] * +Dust_Off throws the lever...okay just pushes it.
01[22:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dusty works that lever, the circular door that was shut on the squashed scrap metal reopens slowly with it's hissing and grinding.
06[22:41] * +Slag_Heap looks at Dust_Off and the door. "There's that too."
01[22:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis has collected twenty two scones. Wow... lots.
12[22:42] * Arcane_Scroll[A] is now known as Arcane_Sleeping[A]
06[22:42] * +Dust_Off nods, "Let's take a peek at the emergency exit."  She walks through the door Grape opened and goes to the door on the right and tries to open it.
06[22:43] * +Roy_Calbeck ponders. "Wonder if that door could crush th' chalice?"
01[22:43] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The door on the right opens and reveals a storeroom, with many shelves. There was some pre-war food and water bottles, but many of the shelves are bare. There is also four medical boxes, all empty! Awww! What a jip!
01[22:46] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck has a strange unexplainable feeling that such an attempt would be a tremendous waste of time.
06[22:46] * +Roy_Calbeck Applejacks, "Mmmmm. Nah."
06[22:46] * +Slag_Heap checks the first door on the left.
06[22:46] * +Roy_Calbeck covers Slag, floating out his service rifle.
06[22:47] * +Dust_Off groans at the empty medical boxes.  She takes the food.
01[22:47] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap opens the door to reveal a bathroom, with five rows of closed stalls and a large double sink on the other side, there being mirrors above the sinks.
06[22:48] * +Slag_Heap checks the other door.
06[22:48] * +Roy_Calbeck goes into the bathroom, kicking the stall doors open one at a time, rifle at the ready.
01[22:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off collects eight pieces of pre-war food, three sugar apple bombs, two fancy buck snack cakes, two potato crisps, and one generic junk food. As she takes the food, she notices under the shelves another medical box somehow underneath a row of shelves, on the floor.
06[22:51] * +Dust_Off leans down and pulls out the medical box before trying to open it.
06[22:51] * +Sagittis has his stuff gathered and is waiting by the door.
06[22:52] * +Slag_Heap opens the other door on the left.
01[22:52] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap opens the last door in this bunker, finding several bunks of beds, with dressers. The room was rather spacious compared to the other two. There was even a computer terminal as well as a dull grey metallic trunk, with many nicks and scratches on it.
06[22:53] * +Roy_Calbeck is still checking the stalls.
06[22:53] * +Slag_Heap peeks out of the door. "Cap, we got another terminal." He heads over to the trunk and sees if its open.
01[22:55] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off opens the medical box finding two healing potions, two vials of med-x, and one injection of Rage? Strange... Roy_Calbeck checks the bathroom stalls, finding them to be rather neat for some reason... weird. Slag_Heap opens the trunk, revealing a plain brown cloak, a jar with green herbs in it, as well as a book that was closed... an old book, with a nondescript cover.
06[22:56] * +Slag_Heap pulls out the cloak. "Anyone want a cloak?" He calls out the door. He would look weird with it. "What about you, Sagittis? Got some herbs here too." He picks up the book and checks it over.
06[22:56] * +Dust_Off adds all of these things to her bags and walks back into the main area.  She peeks into the bathroom, "How did you get the shit detail?"
06[22:56] * +Roy_Calbeck checks for toilet paper. Because that stuff is pure gold.
12[22:57] * Shadow is now known as Shadow|Sleeps
06[22:57] * +Sagittis zips over to the herbs. "Yes please. If nopony else wants the cloak, I'll tag that too."
01[22:58] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck finds there's no more rolls of toilet paper at all. Slag_Heap finds the book is old, but cared for. No dust or grime on it.
[22:58] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Aw..."
06[22:58] * +Dust_Off hears Sagittis in the next room.  "Is it a fashionable cloak?"
06[22:58] * +Slag_Heap nods at the jar in the trunk. "Takem." He pulls out the cloak. "Fancy." He'd look better in a trench coat. Cloaks are for little ponies. He opens the book.
06[22:58] * +Roy_Calbeck leaves the bathroom for parts elsewhere.
06[22:58] * +Slag_Heap calls out to Dust_Off. "A cloak's a cloak."
06[22:58] * +Sour_Grape sits down and yawns.
[22:59] <+Dust_Off> "You're a stallion, I wouldn't expect you to understand fashion."
06[22:59] * +Roy_Calbeck walks in on Slag with his open book.
[22:59] <+Dust_Off> He was also a dirty dirt pony.  How uncouth.  She stops to check her mane in the mirror.
06[22:59] * +Sour_Grape rubs her eyes, "Killin' ancient evils takes a lot outa ya."
06[23:00] * +Roy_Calbeck opens his mouth to make a comment linking Slag's bald pate with the reading of books being for egg-heads, but he prizes the continuation of his personal life force.
06[23:00] * +Sagittis examines the cloak and lets Dust_Off know if it is stylish or not. Due to his obliviousness, he does not notice the book.
06[23:00] * +Roy_Calbeck slowly closes his mouth.
06[23:00] * +Slag_Heap "Come see for yourself, Cap." He reads the book, wondering what it is. He reads the title first. So smart!
06[23:01] * +Dust_Off finish examining her mane and twitching it back into place a little before going to the next room with the others.
01[23:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap opens the book... it was... mostly gibberish... reading over and over various words and phrases such as, 'Burning fear in the darkness'. 'Beyond the shrouded veil.' 'Reborn.' but as he gets near the back, he finds some pages actually contain legible passages, 'Our lord, awaits, his time bidding. The false Goddesses reign will soon end, Bring about a new era of strength... strength in fear. The chosen will be lifted up, remade as he sees fit. We will grow, painfully, but with reward, as the rest is driven out.'
01[23:03] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis notes the cloak is rather plain, just a simple brown cloak. How dull! It was slightly thick and heavy though, it would provide a measure of warmth.
06[23:04] * +Sour_Grape is positive Sagi doesn't need to be more warm
06[23:04] * +Slag_Heap slams the books shut. "Well that was a waste of time." He looks at Dust_Off, coming in and shows her the cloak. "Got some mumbo jumbo about some lord."
06[23:04] * +Roy_Calbeck peers up at the Emergency Exit. Dubiously.
01[23:04] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck sees a shut hatch, with a button next to it as you ascend. Perhaps it's a spooOoOOooOoky hatch!
06[23:05] * +Dust_Off frowns, "Leave the book.  Take everything else.  Let's get out of here.  Search the upper levels."
03[23:06] * Ornithopter ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[23:06] * +Sagittis goes over and drapes the cloak on the sleepy Sour_Grape. She heads back to get the herbs.
12[23:06] * Ornithopter is now known as Zepheniah
06[23:07] * +Sour_Grape goes and climbs on Dust_Off's back, "Hello. Are we leaving yet?"
06[23:09] * +Dust_Off smiles back at Grape, "Yes, after we search this place."  She goes to the escape hatch and presses the button.
06[23:09] * +Slag_Heap "Wait, what about the terminal?" he points  at the terminal for Dust_Off
06[23:09] * +Slag_Heap throws the book back into the trunk.
06[23:10] * +Sour_Grape is cloaked. It's kind of comfy. She yawns again. "Next time ah say we schedual ancient evil killin' for the day time."
01[23:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 There is a total of three green herbs in the trunk, there is four seperate dressers, each containing old, pristine pre-war clothing. A snazzy vest with sweater, fit for stallions, A beautiful green springtime dress with a band around it, fit for mares, a plaid thick cotton button up shirt, and lastly a pre-war blue button up shirt fit for foals. There is also two pretty pink ribbons!
06[23:10] * +Sagittis blinks, noting the book for the first time and picks it up.
01[23:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape has now a plain brown cloak over her existing cloak. Cloakception!
06[23:11] * +Roy_Calbeck hrms. "Everypony stand back..."
06[23:11] * +Roy_Calbeck steps back, then uses his telekinesis to push the button.
06[23:12] * +Roy_Calbeck redacts, having missed Dusty's move.
06[23:12] * +Roy_Calbeck goes to look at the terminal instead. "What's it say?"
06[23:13] * +Slag_Heap shrugs at Roy_Calbeck. "I dunno. Didn't check."
06[23:13] * +Slag_Heap heads to the terminal too, now curious
06[23:13] * +Roy_Calbeck peers at the terminal.
01[23:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off presses the button and with a hissing, the hatch opens, revealing  a cylindrical tube big enough for a large pony to fit through. It has many ladder rungs, as well as lights that are off. Looking up any further leads only to darkness.
06[23:15] * +Dust_Off nods at the tube and goes back in the room to look at the terminal and..."Oh!  A dress!  And ribbons!"
01[23:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The computer terminal has three options. 1.) 'Activate Emergency protocol' 2.) 'Outside Diagnostic' 3.) 'At last.'
06[23:16] * +Roy_Calbeck pokes "2" on the keyboard.
06[23:16] * +Sour_Grape look up at the foal sized pretty clothing, "Wat, no."
01[23:18] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Roy_Calbeck presses the button, it reads, 'Warning, Radiation levels detected: Minimum levels. Safety index: 79% Advise proper precautions before exiting.'
06[23:19] * +Slag_Heap reads it. "How useful."
06[23:19] * +Roy_Calbeck raises one eyebrow. "Hey Cap," he shouts down the hall. "Come check this out!"
06[23:20] * +Sagittis smirks at Dust_Off and Sour_Grape. "Aww. It would go with your pigtails. Think about it, next time we meet some bastard who is trying to screw us, you just act adorable and I'll rob them blind."
06[23:20] * +Dust_Off looks at the ribbons and then Grape's pigtails.  Later.  She takes the dress and the ribbons.  She walks over to Roy, "Yes?  Hmm, the sensors seem to work."
06[23:21] * +Sour_Grape huffs at Sagittis and goes to press her face into Dust_Off's mane to use as apillow, "Not happenin'" she mutters
06[23:22] * +Sagittis smirks and gathers up the rest of the prewar clothes before throwing them over Slag_Heap's back.
06[23:22] * +Slag_Heap blinks and looks back at Sagittis. "Gee thanks. It means soooooo much to me that I can be your pack mule."
01[23:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap makes best pack cyberpony. Mules everywhere will rejoice. Snerk.
06[23:23] * +Sagittis smirks and gestures to his own pack. "Can you really let a child pull more than you?"
06[23:24] * +Slag_Heap rolls his eyes. "A normal child, no."
[23:24] <+Roy_Calbeck> "We've got two more options, too."  He pokes the "back" button.
06[23:24] * +Dust_Off nods, "Keep going then."
[23:25] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Oh?  You want me to hit Option Three, there?"
01[23:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck hits the back button and as it does it reads for a brief moment, 'Remember to wear protective eyewear! Extended periods without proper sunlight can cause eyestrain and potential damage!' then goes back to the three options previously.
06[23:26] * +Slag_Heap watches the terminal too. "Protective eyewear must be worn to look at my head, but you don't see me going on about it." he walks to the door.
06[23:26] * +Roy_Calbeck grins and snorts at Slag.
01[23:26] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape is looking just positively adorable snuggling into Dust_Off's mane... quick! Point it out!
06[23:27] * +Sour_Grape will shotgun anyone that tries
06[23:27] * +Sagittis chuckles at Sour_Grape. "You are good at cute. I would swear you two were sisters if I didn't know better."
06[23:28] * +Dust_Off nods, "Number three then."  She looks back at the adorable and bloody filly getting fluids on her mane!  Ewww....
06[23:28] * +Roy_Calbeck raises his other eyebrow. Now he has a matching set! And presses the button (Frank).
06[23:29] * +Slag_Heap chills by the door.
06[23:30] * +Sour_Grape grumbles and closes her eyes, "Wha'eva." Haha, now Dust needs a shower.
[23:31] <+Sagittis> \me knows Dust_Off will drag Sour_Grape with her. Hah!
12[23:31] * Zepheniah is now known as Micro_Sparkle
[23:32] <+Dust_Off> She will...oh she will.
06[23:32] * +Sour_Grape is dooooooooomed
01[23:32] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Oh NO! Dusty! Your perfectly coiffured mane! Ruined by blood and guts! Pressing number '3' reads, 'At last, I was correct, this is the location of the Foals of Fear. Seems they were able to spend lots of these pre-war bits and gain some sort of sway with the authority that existed in the past. They had come so close to completing the ritual until that detective stopped them at the last moment. Which works out perfectly for me, as I will claim this Star's power for my own! All I need... is the proper sacrifice at the proper time.
06[23:34] * +Roy_Calbeck reads. "Huh. I was expecting something more explodey."
01[23:34] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The terminal then explodes.
01[23:34] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Just kidding.
06[23:34] * +Slag_Heap waits in the doorway.
06[23:34] * +Roy_Calbeck hits the "back" button.
01[23:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 It goes back to the first three options. Astonishing!
02[23:35] * Shadow|Sleeps ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
[23:35] <+Dust_Off> "Last option, then.  Sooo...they almost completed the ritual.  So the thing is mostly powerful....damn."
06[23:35] * +Roy_Calbeck punches the "1". Hard.
06[23:36] * +Roy_Calbeck redacts.
06[23:36] * +Sagittis ponders. "Who wants to bet we were on the sacrifice menu?"
01[23:36] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 When Roy_Calbeck punches the key, he hears a cracking sound and notices a lot of the keys are now broken and some being stuck, with the terminal making a continous beeping sound, the screen flickering and reading over and over: "ERROR".
01[23:37] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Hard smacking + Ponyshoes on a keyboard, not a good idea.
06[23:37] * +Sour_Grape "I sacrificed him'ta mah shotgun."
06[23:37] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at Dust_Off. "Well, you said keep going..."
06[23:38] * +Dust_Off sighs, "With in reason, Gunny.  Let me look at it."  The mare looks to see if she can fix the problem.
06[23:39] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at his ponyshoes with a sigh.
06[23:39] * +Slag_Heap sighs in the doorway. He makes his way to the bathroom.
01[23:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap has a choice of five lovely stalls to use. Sadly none of them are heated seats.... were there such a thing? Ohhh the possibilities...
02[23:40] * Pantzar ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06[23:41] * +Slag_Heap looks at his flamer... then to the seats... then to his flamers... then to the seats.... nah. He doesn't need the seats. He does a little tinkle as he waits.
01[23:41] <@SilentBrony|GM> Yes slag... use your flamer on the steel toilets >=)
06[23:43] * +Dust_Off looks up at Roy, "Nice job breaking it, Big Mac."
06[23:43] * +Roy_Calbeck facehoofs.
06[23:44] * +Slag_Heap walks out of the bathroom after washing his hooves. He looks over at Dust_Off and Roy_Calbeck after making his way back to the room. "Need some help in there?" He says, nodding at the computer.
01[23:44] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off at first uses her hooves to pry the many stuck together keys on the terminal loose, but the main problem was that somehow the 1, 2, and ESC keys were all seemed to be embedded into the machine itself. Unsuccessful at first to remove it with hooves, the desperate pegasexy mare even uses her teeth to pry the keys out... but to no avail.
06[23:45] * +Dust_Off looks back at Slag,'"Take a try at this.  Roy broke it."
06[23:45] * +Slag_Heap walks in
06[23:45] * +Slag_Heap and heads to the terminal. "Lets take a look."
06[23:45] * +Dust_Off lays down to wait.
06[23:45] * +Sagittis tilts his head to the group around the terminal and starts reading the book.
06[23:46] * +Roy_Calbeck looks away, blushing with shame.
01[23:46] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap does pretty much the same thing. Being physically stronger helps as he manages to pry the main keys loose. The screen then flickers and the screen now says, 'Emergency Protocol Activate? Y/N'
06[23:47] * +Slag_Heap smiles. "Done and dusted." He looks at the screen. "Wait, won't that lock us in or something?"
01[23:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis reads much of the same thing as Slag_Heap did. Except near the end, he finds another passage that says, 'Sacrifice of friends. Paid in blood. Set our master free. With his freedom. Liberate Equestria. Liberate our souls.'
06[23:49] * +Sagittis closes the book. "Well, that is creepy." Dad would like this. He puts it away.
06[23:50] * +Dust_Off frowns..."Or it's a self destruct.  Let's go up and search the top floor before we take drastic measures."
06[23:50] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Lets." He leaves the room. "Who's on point?"
06[23:51] * +Roy_Calbeck still has his horn lit. "Guess that's the derp."
06[23:51] * +Roy_Calbeck heads out and up the ladder.
01[23:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Perv pony nominates Dust_Off to take point.
01[23:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck goes up the ladder his horn providing light for him to find it leads to another hatch with another button. Another painted set of words read, 'Please wait until the apocalypse is over and it is safe before continuing.'
06[23:53] * +Sagittis "I'll be rear guard."
06[23:54] * +Dust_Off flaps her wings and follows behind Roy.  She looks up and her eyes go wide.  Oh my! Who know he had such a long thick...knife.
06[23:55] * +Roy_Calbeck doesn't have any knife...
01[23:55] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Oohhh myyyy.......
06[23:55] * +Sour_Grape smacks Dust_Off lazily on the back of the head, "Stop that."
06[23:55] * +Slag_Heap goes up after Dust_Off. Oh my indeed.
06[23:55] * +Roy_Calbeck is clearly dragging his rifle behind.
06[23:55] * +Roy_Calbeck reads the words aloud.
06[23:55] * +Sagittis looks around before following Slag_Heap up. Shudder.
06[23:56] * +Roy_Calbeck smacks the button.
06[23:56] * +Slag_Heap has a beautiful behind. If you're blind.
06[23:56] * +Dust_Off whinced and looked back, "Sorry."
01[23:58] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Hatch opens with a gust of air, the breeze pillowing skirts and underclothing of any in the tunnel themselves... Sagittis nopony will blame you if you suddenly lost the contents in your stomach. A filter of light is exposed, revealing the roof of the resort they were in. The sky now visible, reveals an early morning light.... a strange sense of calm and serenity seems to envelope Roy_Calbeck as he exits, his horn reverting to it's original color mid-way through the pipe.
06[23:59] * +Slag_Heap is wearing armor on his butt anyway. Full body armour yay!
01[23:59] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Then Slag_Heap braces himself instinctively, his big armored butt wiggling slightly.
06[23:59] * +Sagittis waits at the bottom of the shaft until the others are safely out.
Session Time: Fri Dec 14 00:00:00 2012
06[00:01] * +Sour_Grape "Das right you are."
06[00:02] * +Roy_Calbeck exits, raising his rifle to cover the area.
06[00:02] * +Dust_Off looks to see if the cloud was stil hanging over them.
06[00:03] * +Sour_Grape "Tell me when its safe'ta take a nap."
01[00:04] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Now on the roof, Roy_Calbeck sees that most of it is still intact. Though there is a large hole that shows a familiar circular room below with large chunks of glass on the floor amongst chairs. Along the east side of the building is a rickeity emergency ladder that is heavily rusted over. Being able to look out into 'The Hollow' with the morning light and the eerie dust cloud gone, the place does not look nearly as creepy as it did at night. There were no signs of the ghouls, beyond the ones they had killed during the night in the fields. It looked... like pretty much any other pre-war ruin at this point.
[00:05] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Huh.  Actually looks clear."
06[00:05] * +Roy_Calbeck yawns, sitting on his rump. "Could use a couple hours myself."
01[00:07] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The clear Mareizona morning is... actually breathtaking... with a nice hue of gold, the sun can be seen rising in one direction over the mountains that encompassed this location. It wasn't hot nor chilly, just a pleasant temperature for the moment... of course there's no telling how long this would last.
06[00:07] * +Slag_Heap stands triumphant, looking out over the area, lighiting a cigarrette. "Damn right its clear." Victory.
06[00:08] * +Dust_Off looks around.  "Not the best of locations...but safer.  The pink glow of your horn stopped."  The mare looks around.  "Everyone take a break.  Rest.  We'll go in shifts.  Rest for...Five hours.  Everyone watches for one hour."
06[00:08] * +Sour_Grape snores. Well that was fast.
01[00:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The sleeping filly looks like such a tempting target for surprise tickles...
06[00:09] * +Slag_Heap sits. "I got first watch." He puffs on his cigarette, looking out over the wastes
06[00:11] * +Sagittis climbs up the ladder to the others. "I'll take first watch."
06[00:11] * +Slag_Heap looks over at Sagittis. "I already called it. Get some sleep, kid."
06[00:11] * +Dust_Off lays down and closes her eyes, letting filly sleep on her back.
06[00:12] * +Roy_Calbeck flops onto his belly and is snoozling almost before he hits the roof.
06[00:12] * +Slag_Heap starts the task of swapping his rifle out for his lmg
01[00:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 It's not long before the signature sounds of a ripper going off follows once Roy passes out...
06[00:14] * +Sagittis looks around. "Yeah... still not sleeping here." He blinks and looks at Roy_Calbeck. "And that does not help."
06[00:15] * +Slag_Heap puffs his cigarette. "I still got a couple of hours left in me. Gotta finish this ciggie and swap out weapons.
[00:15] <+Slag_Heap> "
06[00:23] * +Sagittis waits the night.
01[00:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis, not trusting the scary cup of nightmares, stays awake. Father would be disappoint colt. Slag_Heap spends his waking time swapping out the rifle to his LMG on his previous battle saddle. He and the colt felt... oh so tired... now that they weren't constantly assaulted by hallucinations and running from glowing eyed Ghouls. Nearing the next group member's shift, Sour_Grape in her mind can hear a strange male voice monologuing quietly, 'The desert wasteland. It is an unforgiving land. Full of untold horrors and death. Sometimes though forgiveness is key to lifting back life to the land. Will they learn forgiveness?...' the voice goes on and on... what was this??
06[00:25] * +Sour_Grape always has the weirdest dreams
01[00:26] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Regardless the next shift is up. Whoever is supposed to take over next is now there turn.
06[00:26] * +Slag_Heap is asleep and his saddle is fully swapped.
06[00:27] * +Roy_Calbeck is currently drooling on a bit of roof tile.
06[00:27] * +Slag_Heap is sleeping normally. Imagine that. Slag being like any other pony.
06[00:29] * +Dust_Off yawns and opens her eyes.  She looks around.  She decides to get up.  "Sagittis, get some sleep.  I've got this shift."
[00:29] <+Dust_Off> Is Sour still asleep on her back?  Eeyup.
06[00:29] * +Sagittis is doing what he can to keep himself entertained, and this evening, that means braiding his mane.
06[00:30] * +Sour_Grape doesn't actuall snore, just has her face planted into Dust_Off's mane while under her double cloaks
01[00:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Cloakception!
06[00:31] * +Sagittis looks over to Dust_Off. "I would rather not, until that artifact is dealt with."
01[00:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The sound of rhythmic drums beat dramatically for a moment. Then fade. And no one can recall the event happening.
01[00:33] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis, while braiding also happens to find an extra soft blanket in his belongings somehow.... he can't... recall how he obtained it, but for some reason it was familiar to him. Where?....
06[00:34] * +Dust_Off frowns, "I'm not at total ease, but you do need sleep.  We've been on edge and without sleep for too long.
[00:34] <+Dust_Off> ....I am more than capable of holding an enemy."
06[00:36] * +Roy_Calbeck burbles and rolls over in his sleep, producing a snot bubble of immense size at one point.
02[00:36] * @Strobe ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.89 [Firefox 17.0.1/20121128204232])
06[00:36] * +Slag_Heap snores quietly.
06[00:37] * +Sagittis is about to argue with Dust_Off when his hoof brushes the blanket. "I under stand that but..." He trails off and looks at the cloth. Something about it made him feel content and safe. "You know what, okay. I'll give it a shot." He wraps himself in the blanket ad curls up, only a single braid behind each ear having been completed.
06[00:39] * +Dust_Off smiles at Sagittis, "Sweet dreams, colt."  She unslings her rifle...three rifles.  She lays her MRR beside her and takes out her MER and a almost useless copy.  She scavenged the junker for parts and replaced them in the good rifle.
01[00:45] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The fluffle zebra colt is giving Sour_Grape a severe run for her money now in the cute department with him being wrapped up in the soft warm blanket. Dust_Off is alone to her thoughts as she uses the broken husk of a Magical Energy Rifle to repair her existing, much better conditioned one... Oh Murtaugh, she was lucky to find /anything/ from the husk. The remainder of the shifts pass by uneventful, a nice respite given the constant horrors the group were dealing with mere hours ago. Four hours of sleep appropriately for each member, they awaken, not feeling that great, still pretty tired, but at least functioning once more.
06[00:46] * +Sour_Grape is not sure who woke her up for her shift but she'd be none to pleased with them.
06[00:47] * +Dust_Off awakens many hours later.  She goes over to look at the fire escape and puts a hoof down to test it.
06[00:47] * +Slag_Heap stretches. "Who's up for hoofing it to town and to a soft bed?"
06[00:47] * +Roy_Calbeck yawns hugely. Can a unicorn's jaw completely unhinge itself like that? Apparently so...
06[00:47] * +Roy_Calbeck lolls his tongue around while he's at it.
01[00:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The ladder shakes noisely, but holds despite given a good shaking.
06[00:48] * +Sour_Grape yawns too, it's contagious, "Lets go... where are we anyway?"
06[00:49] * +Roy_Calbeck looks around, rubbing some feeling into his face with a hoof. "Roof of th' resort. If we're gonna do anythin' downstairs, let's do it an' blow this pop stand."
06[00:50] * +Sagittis blinks. "Go? Go and leave the evil cup of evil down there?"
[00:50] <+Sagittis> (Redact, sleeping)
06[00:50] * +Sour_Grape blinks, "Oh! Roof!" She jumps off...
06[00:51] * +Slag_Heap asked a question.
[00:51] <+Dust_Off> "My current plan is we go down this fire escape, loot the bottom floors, and then I drop bale fire down the escape hatch.  The multistory drop should be enough to detonate them."
06[00:51] * +Roy_Calbeck was still half-asleep and didn't notice...
01[00:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape leaps off the roof, Oh the feel of the wind whipping her pig-tails wildly... the feeling is exhilirating... before she splats on the ground below.
01[00:52] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Okay, maybe she uses her wings to either glide down or fly.
06[00:53] * +Sour_Grape spreads her wings and starts to fly, she does a few laps around the building at her very slow pass whilst giggling. It might be slow, but to her it's likes super fast
06[00:54] * +Sagittis seems to reach out to grab at something that isn't there. After a little sleep wimbering at his inability to get whatever he is reaching for, he seems to grab hold of some imaginary mass and snuggles the nonexistant thing to his chest. "Mmmrmm." He becomes a lot more peaceful, breathing steadily through cupid bow lips.
06[00:54] * +Roy_Calbeck watches Sour flitting around and applauds, stomping a hoof on the roof tiles. "Wooo!"
06[00:55] * +Slag_Heap watches the kid. he looked liked a kitten. He huffs in amusement. "Well I'm not waking him." He looks over the side at Sour_Grape. "Nicely done!" He calls down
06[00:56] * +Sour_Grape does a few more laps before landing and breathing heavy,"SO! AWESOME!"
06[00:57] * +Dust_Off goes over and prods Sagittis, "Wake up, colt.  Time to rise and destroy evil with balefire."  She casts a glance and a smile at the exuberant filly.
06[00:57] * +Roy_Calbeck claps his forehooves together.
01[00:57] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 But Sagittis is having the most wonderful dream.
06[00:57] * +Slag_Heap smiles and looks at Dust_Off. "Bet you're proud as ever." He says with a chuckle.
06[00:57] * +Roy_Calbeck walks over and rubs Sour's head. "I am SO jealous right now."
06[00:58] * +Sagittis jolts to his hooves, clamping his jaws down where his firing bit would be at the exclamation like a startled cat... with a minigun. He looks over to Dust_Off and calms down a bit. "Oh, yeah, right."
06[00:59] * +Sour_Grape puffs her chest out and grins, "Well ya should be."
06[01:00] * +Roy_Calbeck laughs. "C'mon, let's see what Dusty's got in mind."
06[01:00] * +Slag_Heap walks over to Dust_Off and salutes.
06[01:00] * +Dust_Off blinks, "Oookay, you get a pass on miming filling me with lead.  C'mon."  She takes flight and flies over the side of the building.  "Down the stairs, slowly and carefully."
06[01:00] * +Roy_Calbeck heads down.
06[01:02] * +Sagittis tilts his head at Dust_Off, rubbing his eyes sleepily. "So, are we really just leaving the evil cup of evil evilness i its evil lair of evil?"
01[01:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck finds the rickety ladder shakes quite a bit and protests with loud squeaky groans. Halfway down, he swears he hears a loud snapping sound, but when he looks to the source, he can't seem to see what exactly caused it.
06[01:03] * +Roy_Calbeck stops and grimaces. "Hold up, folks."
[01:03] <+Dust_Off> "What?  Oh, you were sleeping.  No, I'm going to drop the balefire eggs down the escape tunnel...."  She looks at Roy.  "What?"
06[01:04] * +Roy_Calbeck climbs partway back up, then looks down to see what he might have missed.
[01:04] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Somethin' snapped."
06[01:05] * +Sour_Grape flies down beside Roy_Calbeck, "Maybe it was your brain?"
06[01:05] * +Slag_Heap starts to move with the group. He snickers at Sour_Grape's comment. Its ironic because Slag's the least intelligent. But still decent at science and medicine...
06[01:05] * +Sagittis ponders. "You really think that will do it? Didn't Roy say he could teleport? Cant we take it to some hell pit or something. Maybe a nice volcano?"
06[01:06] * +Dust_Off hovers down along the stair case examining it.
06[01:06] * +Roy_Calbeck smirks at Sour, reaches out with a hoof, and pokes her chest. "Could be. I paid you a compliment earlier, didn't I? I must be goin' nuts."
06[01:08] * +Sour_Grape frowns and shoves Roy_Calbeck lightly, "Ass, don't make me pushya"
06[01:08] * +Roy_Calbeck grins horsily.
06[01:09] * +Slag_Heap chuckles. "Come on you two. We got looting to do." he follows after Dust_Off.
06[01:09] * +Roy_Calbeck looks down again. "Not until we get a better look at this ladder."
06[01:09] * +Slag_Heap redacts the following Dust_Off. He's walking down the stairs.
06[01:10] * +Slag_Heap LADDER
01[01:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> Slag_Heap sees that Roy_Calbeck is on the rusty, rickety ancient ladder, he as well as any near the ladder definitely heard it snapping, but where was it breaking apart?
06[01:12] * +Roy_Calbeck is currently trying to see.
01[01:15] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap sees near the top, right under his hoof, that one of the bolts securing the ladder is slightly beginning to rip away at the building! Somehow it's still holding, but it definitely does not look safe to add any extra weight on it... especially not his rather hefty bulk while Roy is also on it.
[01:15] <+Dust_Off> Dusty is hovering down beside it, examining it.
06[01:15] * +Slag_Heap gets back off the ladder. One at a time would be better.
06[01:16] * +Roy_Calbeck is looking down, having climbed partway back up.
06[01:17] * +Sagittis is on the roof. "I'll give you all overwatch while you work."
06[01:17] * +Sour_Grape "Ain't there like a door to the building?"
[01:18] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Sure.  On th' ground floor."
[01:18] <+Dust_Off> "Work, nothing.  We can't repair this.  It's structurally damaged.  Go down into the hell pit and then back out."
01[01:18] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 When Roy_Calbeck ascends, the creaking gets noticeably louder, the source of the sound becoming more apparent to the white stallion as the ladder shakes with more intensity... he doesn't get that far.
[01:18] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Uh oh."
06[01:18] * +Dust_Off flutters up beside Roy and grabs him.
06[01:19] * +Sour_Grape "I meant the police office had a door on ta roof, 'member?"
[01:19] <+Roy_Calbeck> "This one doesn't... hey, thanks!"  The unicorn grabs hold as best he can as he is, again, airlifted out of danger.
[01:20] <+Dust_Off> "Look for it!"  She grunts as she tries to carry him.
01[01:20] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Dust_Off airlifts Roy_Calbeck out of danger, suddenly the pipbuck that Dust_Off has clicks on, and a mare sings loudly from the radio speakers, "Aaaaand Iiiiii--- eee--- Iiii.... will alwaaaaaays... loove yoooou-- OoOOooo!" then shuts off again.
06[01:21] * +Slag_Heap watches from the top of the roof. "Shit, y'all right?"
06[01:21] * +Sour_Grape "So tha place is no longer haunted, just weird."
06[01:21] * +Roy_Calbeck blinks up at the PipBuck. "I've always HATED that song."
06[01:21] * +Dust_Off frown and looks at her pipbuck. "Stupid broken thing."  She looks for the standard roof access.
[01:22] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Can'tcha just put me down?"
01[01:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 But Dust_Off is the wing beneath your wings...
01[01:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 wind*
06[01:22] * +Sagittis patrols the roof, on the watch for other contacts.
06[01:23] * +Roy_Calbeck is the wind beneath Dusty's wings. But only because the trail rations aren't sitting well with his gut.
06[01:23] * +Dust_Off drops Roy on the roof, she isn't that high off it.
06[01:23] * +Roy_Calbeck chuckles. "Well, I meant th' ground, but this is fine too."
06[01:23] * +Slag_Heap trots over to Dust_Off and Roy_Calbeck. "You two alright?"
01[01:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The rusted ladder is /still/ there, it just looks worse for the wear. Sagittis surveys the area, but no hostiles can be detected.
06[01:23] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "Sure. But I doubt there's a roof access... except what we came out of."
06[01:24] * +Dust_Off stops her search for a roof access to the main hotel to look at Slag, "I fly, of course I'm okay."
06[01:25] * +Roy_Calbeck looks down. "I could teleport down with somepony else, but that'd be all I could do without another couple hours' rest.
[01:25] <+Roy_Calbeck> "
06[01:25] * +Slag_Heap shrugs. "Forgive me for being worried about my squad mates." He looks over the edge. "Well... I don't think the ladder's going to work for me..."
06[01:26] * +Roy_Calbeck turns his eyes on Slag. "Hell, it didn't work fer ME, an' out of us three ground-pounders, I'm th' lightest."
01[01:28] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 All other roof accesses leading to the top of the roof are broken or non-existant.
06[01:28] * +Sour_Grape "We could all fly down, of wait, you guys." She huffs. "And who puts an emergency exit that goes to a place you can't escape from."
06[01:28] * +Slag_Heap scratches his beard. "Then we got a problem. Can't go back the way we came, can't go down the ladder. Dust could try carrying Saggy while you teleport me, but I dunno."
[01:29] <+Dust_Off> "So, hell pit, i glide you down, or....teleport?  You can teleport?"  She looks surprised at Roy.
01[01:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck is a stallion of many talents apparently.
06[01:30] * +Slag_Heap 's player forgot we retconned. He just mentions the carrying. No teleport.
06[01:32] * +Sagittis is clearly very uncomfortable with leaving the building still cupped.
06[01:32] * +Slag_Heap trots over to the hole they climbed out of. "Looks like the only way down."
02[01:33] * Spero ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: )
[01:34] <+Dust_Off> Sagittis has not listened to the Death Star plan previously discussed.
06[01:35] * +Dust_Off nods, "Don't want me to glide you down?"
06[01:35] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "Picked up th' trick from that Arcane Sciences book a while back. Hadn't figured everything about it out until recently."
[01:36] <+Roy_Calbeck> "I'd rather save th' energy, though."
06[01:36] * +Slag_Heap looks over at Dust_Off. "If you think you can carry me and my big ass."
06[01:37] * +Roy_Calbeck grins. "Learned some about shapin' stuff, too." He looks towards the ladder. "Who knows, I might be able ta re-forge that thing inta somethin' better."
01[01:37] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Somepony had to replace Green in the big and wide flank department. Congratulations Slag_Heap.
06[01:38] * +Slag_Heap is not as dumb or silly though. He is big though. Muscley. Yeah.
06[01:39] * +Dust_Off looks for Heap's imaginary donkey.   She shakes her head.  "Roy then take Heap down to the ground.  I'll take and glide down with Sagittis.  We loot the building, and the  I come up and drop the balefire eggs down this hatch.
01[01:39] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The ladder still exists. Not broken, it looks like it could still be used, especially if one were slow and careful.
[01:39] <+Dust_Off> *"
06[01:40] * +Sagittis sighs. "Fine." He still doesn't think it will work and will just burn BFEs.
06[01:41] * +Sour_Grape "hey! I'm flying down too ya know."
[01:41] <+Dust_Off> "I counted on that, Grape."  She smiles.  "Ready, Sagittis?"
06[01:42] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at Slag. "Bite my tail."
06[01:42] * +Sour_Grape grins and nods, "yush, lets go."
06[01:43] * +Sagittis nods to Dust_Off. "Yeah." He sounds less than thrilled.
06[01:43] * +Roy_Calbeck looks down at the ground. "I wish... I wish... I WISH..." And teleports down.
06[01:43] * +Slag_Heap went down with him.
06[01:44] * +Dust_Off hovers over Sagittis and picks him up.  She used ground effect to help her flight on the roof....and then drops off the edge.  She spreads her wings and dives in a controlled descent to the ground.
01[01:45] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck is on the ground! Woo hoo! He feels a little dizzy though.
06[01:45] * +Sour_Grape flaps down in a weird spiralthing. She's not entierlly sure what she's doing
01[01:47] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap is also with Roy_Calbeck... the cyber stallion doesn't really feel that good. Sorta sick to his stomach when the flashing disappears. Who knew basic teleportation from a newly learned novice could be so disorienting?
06[01:47] * +Slag_Heap blinks and wobbles. "Uuuuuugh...."
06[01:47] * +Sagittis is glided.
06[01:47] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his head. "Bleah. Almost as bad as jump sickness..."
01[01:47] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off finds Sagittis super heavy... YEESH. What did he eat?!
[01:48] <+Dust_Off> Shite tons of 5mm rounds.
[01:48] <+Sagittis> eyup
01[01:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Now the party is once more on the beloved ground outside, the morning sun, ascending as it has since this world was born.
01[01:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 And then ruined by foolish equines waging a silly war.
06[01:49] * +Dust_Off lands, "There ya go, safe as the extra equipment of the Eighth Para.  So loot the bottom floors of the hotel?  Or did you do that while i was freaking out earlier?"
06[01:50] * +Slag_Heap shakes his head. "Nah. Getting the target took priority, ma'am. Ready to loot."
06[01:51] * +Sour_Grape "Ah just wanna leave, 'cause fuck this town."
06[01:51] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "Let's loot, bomb, an' bug out."
06[01:52] * +Roy_Calbeck promptly trots back into the Evil Building of Evil Evilness(tm) (totally stoled from Sagi)
06[01:53] * +Slag_Heap starts his walk to the main door. "Movin out."
06[01:53] * +Dust_Off nods, "Let's go."  Dusty leads the charge of avarice into the building.
01[01:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck finds the front doors are stubbornly locked again! The corpse of Ammy is gone now... weird.
[01:53] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Dagnabbit."
06[01:53] * +Sagittis just rolls his eyes. "I'm going to rummage the library."
06[01:54] * +Sour_Grape looks over, "I'll go with Sagi,"
06[01:54] * +Roy_Calbeck steps to one side and lifts his head up. "Corporal Slag! We have a door that wants to die fer its country! OBLIGE it!"
06[01:55] * +Slag_Heap nods and gets into position. "Oblige THIS!" he kicks.
06[01:55] * +Dust_Off nods to Sagittis and Grape, "good ida."
06[01:56] * +Sagittis nods to Sour_Grape and waves to Dust_Off. "Je furaha wasing mabomu yangu."
01[01:57] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Neither have any clue what the foal was speaking. Silly zebra speech.
[01:57] <+Dust_Off> "Bar bar bar to us as well, Sagittis."  She waves merrily.
[01:57] <+Dust_Off> *you as well
06[01:58] * +Sour_Grape blinks at Sagittis, "Why ya always talk funny like that?"
01[01:59] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Slag_Heap bucks the front doors, the heavy doors barely move as they make a tremendous thudding sound. Wow it was like... bucking solid steel. What was this made of? The cyberpony's biological leg and the bioloical parts on his cyber leg feel slighltly tingly.
06[01:59] * +Slag_Heap wiggles slightly. "Oh that's just not fair." he turns around. "Its like bucking a fucking tank!"
06[01:59] * +Dust_Off sighs, "Save it, Slag.  Let's move on to the library."  She goes to follow the foals.
06[02:00] * +Sagittis shrugs. "I like the sound of my own language. That and it lets me be mean and snide without the lectures that come with it."
06[02:00] * +Sour_Grape "Well fuck, ain't nopony ever lecture me."
01[02:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Must be the pigtails.
06[02:01] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs. "Might's well move on, then.
06[02:01] * +Roy_Calbeck heads after Dusty.
06[02:02] * +Dust_Off trots after the foals to catch up with them.
[02:03] <+Roy_Calbeck> (paging Sagi, please see SB in the dice channel)
[02:04] <+Slag_Heap> (Doctuh Sagi attend in Dice Channel please.)
[02:04] <+Dust_Off> "We really need to get the warning out about this place...but how to do it without bringing down powerhungry unicorns..."  She looks at Roy, "Evil powerhungry uncorn
[02:04] <+Dust_Off> *unicorns."
[02:04] <+Roy_Calbeck> <^< @ Dust Off.
06[02:09] * +Dust_Off keeps trotting on.  "The balefire idea is good...rads would keep people away."
[02:09] <+Dust_Off> "Uggh, it's like i need to start a secret society of warriors dedicated to guarding this secret...Up for that, Roy?"
01[02:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Scavenging the remains of the library, Sagittis uses his expertise to comb what can be searched, being mainly three rooms. Managing to find a few items, they locate, Two packs of noodles, One package of bubblegum, as well as three bottles of dirty water, and even a single bottle of water. There is also a single healing potion, two vials of med-x, a bottle of buck and a tin of mint-als underneath a pile of rubble. If they wish, they can even pay their final respects to Ammy's corpse which is still very much there. Throughout the rooms, they find a combined total of 24 bottle caps.
06[02:11] * +Sour_Grape thought that dust Fff dusted Ammy's corpse with a MEW
06[02:12] * +Dust_Off just made Ammy's head into a canoe.
01[02:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Even if it's ash, Dust_Off would recognize the same spot the ashes laid.
06[02:13] * +Roy_Calbeck snorts. "I got enough secrets t' keep track of, thanks."
06[02:14] * +Sour_Grape looks at Roy and snorts laughter. No way someone like him had secrets.
06[02:14] * +Roy_Calbeck stops to bow his head and say a few kind words over Ammy, then nabs the bubble gum. "Yoink!"
06[02:15] * +Dust_Off does stop by Ammy's remains,  "Girl,  I'm sorry.  We've been through some horrid things.  I didn't think they could really get us...rest in peace.  I won't let anyone use your remains."  She takes out her MRR, and pumps more rounds into her vaporize what's left.
06[02:15] * +Roy_Calbeck also checks to see if there are any tomes of magic to be had, from the dim and dusty days of yore etcetera and so one.
01[02:15] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Once done scavenging, the group is in the main library... They also manage to find two books... One of which reads on the cover, 'Hawking your baked goods to the upper crust.' also there is another book they find that has a strange symbol of diamond on the cover with intricate fligree around it.
06[02:15] * +Slag_Heap looks at Ammy's remains. He stops and stares for a long moment, then sighs. "She was a good lass." He looks up at the rest. "I'm sorry for your loss."
06[02:16] * +Roy_Calbeck pores over the diamond-cover book.
01[02:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy's corpse glows bright red on the second shot then vaporizes into ash.
06[02:17] * +Sour_Grape watches as Ammy is now dusted. "At least ya died in a cool way. Seeya later."
06[02:17] * +Sagittis lets the others have the stuff. He was close to over burdened as it was.
01[02:18] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Somehow... during his scavenging... Sagittis managed to get a sock clinging to the backside of his fluffy coat via static cling. The foal is completely unaware of the stowaway.
06[02:18] * +Roy_Calbeck blinks as Sagittis walks by at one point, but says nothing.
06[02:19] * +Sour_Grape notices Sagittis static cling and starts giggling
06[02:19] * +Slag_Heap snorts.
06[02:20] * +Dust_Off sighs, "Okay, everyone ready?  Also, anyone remember the way out?"
06[02:22] * +Slag_Heap shakes his head. "Sorry, I ain't the nav officer."
06[02:22] * +Sagittis cocks an eyebrow. "Is there any doubt?
06[02:23] * +Sagittis looks away. "Anois, tá tú ag dul a dhéanamh do phlean buama balbh asal, é a fhágáil do dhaoine eile scriú os cionn nó rud éigin go cianda Chliste a dhéanamh?"
06[02:23] * +Sour_Grape frowns at Sagittis, "Well I'll... anois... your... ag dul!"
06[02:24] * +Sagittis smirks at Sour_Grape. "You're going to now my 'you going to'?"
01[02:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis and Sour sitting in a tree...
06[02:26] * +Sour_Grape blinks at Sagittis ad nods firmly, "Yeah! Totally!"
06[02:26] * +Roy_Calbeck points back across the destroyed buildings towards the graveyard. "That way."
[02:26] <+Sagittis> S-N-A-R-K-I-N-G
06[02:27] * +Slag_Heap starts heading in Roy_Calbeck's pointed direction. "Lets go then."
06[02:27] * +Dust_Off narrows her eyes at Sagittis, "Και εγώ μπορεί να μιλήσει μια άλλη γλώσσα και λένε απαίσια πράγματα για σένα βάρβαρη διαστροφή."  She looks at Roy, "Alrght.  Lead on.  Sour, give me your Balefire Egg."
06[02:27] * +Roy_Calbeck nods, saluting Dusty before moving out.
06[02:28] * +Sour_Grape hoofs Dust her balefire egg, "Aww, I was gunna call him Jim."
06[02:28] * +Sagittis snorts at Dust_Off and heads in the direction of the graveyard they came in from.
01[02:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis heads to the graveyard... with the sock still clinging to him... teehee
06[02:29] * +Roy_Calbeck floats out his rifle once more. If they were going to get hit while leaving, it seemed to be his best anti-zombie weapon.
06[02:29] * +Slag_Heap takes point.
06[02:30] * +Sour_Grape goes that direction, and continues giggling about the sock
06[02:30] * +Roy_Calbeck also makes sure THIS magazine is loaded with hollowpoints.
06[02:30] * +Dust_Off takes the egg and her egg and flies over top of the hotel.
01[02:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off flies over the top of the hotel with her minature WMD.
06[02:33] * +Roy_Calbeck looks over his shoulder towards the imminent holocaust. "There goes the Enola Hay..."
06[02:34] * +Sour_Grape "Holy shit if one more fucker talks in a weird language ah swear!"
01[02:34] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 When doesn't Sour_Grape swear?
06[02:34] * +Dust_Off holds the eggs looking down the escape shaft.  "This is for using Sandy, bastard.  You shouldn't have egged me on."  She drops the eggs down the shaft and then Fantastic Filly Flashes to zoom away from the building.  She doesn't even look back.  Cool fillies don't.
06[02:36] * +Roy_Calbeck puts on his Arclight Helmet, for the eye protection.
01[02:36] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dramatically flies off with haste as she goes to link back up with the rest of the group. Not knowing really the results of her efforts, she can only hear a deep rumbling coming from the building, as the other party members that look on see portions of the building buckle and collapse in on itself from the sheer kinetic force itself... though strangely... a good amount of it still remains... That building... was way better built than others... Then /again/ it somehow had a megaspell shelter within it's confines.
01[02:36] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off dramatically flies off that is.
06[02:37] * +Slag_Heap watches. "Nice." He gets back to marching.
06[02:37] * +Dust_Off looks a bit disappointed when she looks back.  "Dammt, I should neighpalm."
06[02:38] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs. "Be a waste at this point..."
06[02:38] * +Sagittis grits his teeth and starts heading back down.
06[02:38] * +Roy_Calbeck tips his helmet up. "At least those eggs finally got put t'good use. Should keep anypony else with a rad-counter away fer a good long while."
06[02:39] * +Sagittis "Or be ghoul beacon. The void knows this place is in need of ghouls."
06[02:40] * +Dust_Off sighs, "It's buried at least and irradiated.  Like we can do better."
06[02:40] * +Roy_Calbeck chuckles. "Even better, so long as they're ferals."
06[02:40] * +Roy_Calbeck makes his way down towards the graveyard, leading the group away.
06[02:40] * +Sour_Grape "Least Ferals die propperly!"
06[02:41] * +Slag_Heap grumbles. "I hear that..." Big fuck, the little fucks, his own stupid luck... it hadn't been a nice adventure, that's for sure.
03[02:41] * Pantzar ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[02:42] * +Sour_Grape thinks they've had worse. Ants. Shudder.
06[02:43] * +Dust_Off wanders along.  "Hey, Grape, you use 20 gauge or just 12?"
06[02:44] * +Roy_Calbeck singsongs as he goes, in a walking cadence: "The orders come down, an' they march us away / There's a battle t'fight, an' we join in th' fray / Well, it's hell when ya know this could be yer last day..." The song bumps up a notch in tempo, suddenly. "But it's better than workin' fer Flim-Flam!"
01[02:44] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As they discuss their efforts, the group leaves 'The Hollow'. Hopefully to never return to the accursed place, betting that their efforts with the Balefire eggs doing their part in either eliminating the evil, containing it, or in the very least, warding other potential dark souls from being lured to granduers of power. However the future is uncertain. As the group exits the area, backtracking the way they come, they notice the dust cloud is gone and remains missing. At least, despite the hardships and mental torment they were subjected to, they did not leave completely empty-hoofed. Having various valuables. Taking them a couple of hours, the sun reaching close to it's zenith, the group finds themselves at the front gate of Dune once more. The guards allowing them entry into the city. One, wearing Juice family security barding nods to the group, then offers the first to enter a note in a subtle manner.
[02:45] <+Roy_Calbeck> "So march, March / April, May, June, July / August, September, we'll fight ev'ry day / An' it's fare-thee-well, all semblance of camraderie / All of the Dorsai are marching..."
06[02:45] * +Sour_Grape totally told Dust 12
06[02:45] * +Sour_Grape looks around and smiles now that they're back, "Alright, we need'a sell some shit."
02[02:45] * Pantzar ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06[02:45] * +Dust_Off takes the note quiet like and looks at it.
06[02:46] * +Slag_Heap nods. "And I have a hoof locker to open." He goes over to a guard. "Hey, where can I get a lock picked?"
01[02:47] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The note reads, 'Guava Juice wishes a report on your situation, report when you are able. -signed, Pepper Spray' the guard that Slag_Heap asks looks to him and replies, "Try either the hardware supplies kiosk in he middle of the city, or the store inside the Ore district."
06[02:48] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Thanks." He digs out his assault carbine, rifle, and rifle ammo from his bag, turning to Sour_Grape. "Hey, could you sell these with the rest of the stuff for me?"
06[02:49] * +Roy_Calbeck looks into his packs. "Which reminds me. I got pre-War bits fer everypony, an' a set o' foal-sized armor fer whichever of you two kids wants it."
06[02:49] * +Dust_Off gives Grape one 12 gauge shell and a 12 gauge flechette.
06[02:50] * +Slag_Heap "Oh, and this shotgun ammo." he holds out some 20g shotgun ammo.
06[02:50] * +Sour_Grape nods at Slag, "Yea Sure." I'll need the conditions, and takes the ammo, "Thanks."
[02:51] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Two hundred eighty bits, split five ways.
[02:51] <+Roy_Calbeck> "
06[02:51] * +Slag_Heap smiles. "Thanks. Keep a quarter of the caps." He looks at Roy_Calbeck. "Pre war, right?"
06[02:51] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "Yep."
06[02:51] * +Sour_Grape "Foal armour? Ya mean that shiny one?"
06[02:52] * +Roy_Calbeck nods.
[02:52] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Also yep."
06[02:52] * +Sour_Grape "Thats so mine."
06[02:52] * +Roy_Calbeck hoofs it over, all 20 pounds of barding and helmet.
06[02:53] * +Sour_Grape acks, "Can ya hold it for now, Ah'm kind'a full as is."
[02:53] <+Dust_Off> The mare looks into her bags and  Ammy's.  "Quite a lot to sell and repair.  I think i can do some of this work.  Though a workbench, most like at the hardware kiosk or Ore would be great."  She lowers her voice, "Though first we'd best report into Gauva since we delayed his mission."
06[02:54] * +Sour_Grape groooans, "iv'e been tryin' get rid of this shit forever! Fine, lets go to what'sis face first."
06[02:54] * +Slag_Heap looks at Dust_Off. "Want me to come too, or shall I take a look around?"
06[02:54] * +Roy_Calbeck nods once more. "Sure."
06[02:55] * +Sagittis dumps the golem pony's armor, the sconces and toolbox by Dust_Off. "Go to town."
06[02:55] * +Roy_Calbeck keeps the armor... for now.
06[03:03] * +Dust_Off squees, "Thank you, Sagittis!  This should be useful."
06[03:05] * +Dust_Off leads the way to Guava's Palace.
06[03:06] * +Slag_Heap trots after Dust_Off. "Need me to tag along, Dust?"
[03:06] <+Dust_Off> "Everyone should, Guava likes a full house."
06[03:06] * +Sour_Grape figured everyone is following Dust_Off
06[03:07] * +Slag_Heap nods and follows.
06[03:09] * +Sagittis grumbles and follows to the Guava bastard's place. Sooner they didn't need to deal with him the better."
06[03:11] * +Roy_Calbeck does as well.
01[03:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group proceeds on their way to the Juice manor. The guard letting them inside with a nod speaking to Dust_Off, "Welcome back... the boss has been expecting ya." Once they enter properly, they are once again in the familar main hall with the double staircase leading up to the second floor, where the grizzled old earth pony stallion in his snazzy double breasted vest was, .45 SMG at his side.... thankfully, no unsightly hallucinations were plaging the group anymore. In his rough, elderly voice, he speaks with a furrowed and wrinkled brow, "So. Yer all fuckin back. Slug Head. Roll out the red carpet already wouldja?" the buck makes exaggerated gestures with a foreleg to one guard in particular who just smirks and chuckles, as Guava makes his way down slowly the staircase, "So what the fuck? You all get done whatcha needin ta do?"
06[03:14] * +Slag_Heap stays silent.
06[03:15] * +Sour_Grape "Yeah, we fucked up a spawn star, or star spawn, whatever. Killen' ancient evil's part'a our job.
06[03:15] * +Dust_Off nods, "Found the Hollow, ended the magical threat with balefire, lost a comrade.  Dealt with."  She doesn't look entirely happy.
06[03:16] * +Roy_Calbeck pulls out the book he took from the atrium, tosses it on the floor. "Legend dead."
06[03:19] * +Sagittis shakes his head and turns around to leave. He was in no mood for this ungrateful prick's attitude.
01[03:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Guava Juice stops midway at the staircase, looking rather unamused as he replies simply to Sour_Grape, "Wat." Turning his heavily wrinkled face to the pegasus mare at her explanation he goes silent for a moment squinting at her then speaks in a rather disbelieving tone, "Really? Found the fuckin Hollow didya?" blinking as Roy_Calbeck throws the book to the floor, the head family leader looks at it when it lands, then motions with a neck jerk to 'Slug Head' to retrieve the book, which the armored security stallion promptly does. Bringing, 'The Fallen Kingdom' to Guava Juice, the elderly boss takes it and looks it over. Blinking several times as... well... obviously the contents he looks up and asks, "Looks like a bunch of fucking crazy hopped up chem talk. See junkies do stupid shit all tha time 'round the Sugar district, what makes ya think this shit convinces me?"
06[03:21] * +Sour_Grape shrugs, "We also have a ceremonial fuckin' blade of some dark magic shit, not ta mention we can point it out on a map so ya can see how dead it is for yerself. or ya can not believe. Ya not believing doesn't make it unhappen."
06[03:22] * +Sagittis skids to a halt and looks at Sour_Grape in utter horror. There was no way she was going to tell him how to find the place...
06[03:23] * +Dust_Off nods, "There's the horde of dead zombies we left, the manticore sized monstrosity we killed in the library and smoking irradiate ruin we left too."
01[03:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Guava Juice takes noticeable interest in the filly's words, speaking, "Really? Alright... So this place exists or so you say and you took care of it? Can I see this knife as well as the map?"
06[03:27] * +Sagittis turns back around and does what he can to droop into stealth.
06[03:27] * +Sour_Grape motions for whoever has the knife to show, "Now listen. The place may be rid of current evil, but it could still lure ponies in, if ah show you, you need to promise neva ta step foot inta tha city proper, and specially never let a unicorn or zebra in! This is fucking serious, the star could make you a monster like tha guy we killed, okay?"
06[03:28] * +Dust_Off looks at Grape and then Gauva, "We hit it with balefire for a reason."
06[03:29] * +Sagittis aims down his sights between Sour_Grape and Guava.
06[03:29] * +Sour_Grape motioned for herself to show the knife to Guava
01[03:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Sour_Grape goes to present the proof to Guava Juice, Sagittis successfully manages to enter into stealth, unaware to anyone, including his party members. The boss leader begins to examines the knife Sour_Grape had, taking it from her completely.
06[03:30] * +Sour_Grape frowns, "I'mma be wantin' that back."
06[03:31] * +Slag_Heap stand silent.
06[03:31] * +Sagittis aims further.
03[03:31] * Shadow|Sleeps ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[03:32] * +Roy_Calbeck holds up a hoof. "Knife should be enough. Not only do ya not wanna go where we got it from, nopony SHOULD. Includin' us. Ever again."
[03:33] <+Dust_Off> "If you ever went there, "I'd suggest bringing more explosive and raze the place.  Has I silo base of megaspells i'd ripple fire all of them down on this place."
02[03:36] * Shadow|Sleeps ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06[03:36] * +Sagittis also gets a smoke bomb out, in case he needs it.
03[03:36] * Keen ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
12[03:36] * Keen is now known as Fridge
01[03:37] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The flufflecolt aims with his PAR-T cannon... not really the stealthiest weapon, but it'll make one helluva mess. The grizzled stallion seems... awed by this blade... Admiring it's dark beauty, he gives it back with slight hesitation to Sour_Grape and listens to her as well as those speaking with her. Looking contemplative for a while until he finally replies, "I gotta admit... I've /never/ seen anything like this... and honestly... you have been the most competent field agents I've ever contracted in the longest while. If your all sayin it's too damn dangerous to even go... then... I suppose I'll hafta take yer word for it... I mean, ya haven't really steered me wrong... though I gotta say... you're all a little weird from time to time." Smiling he gives a graveled smokey laugh, totally oblivious to Sagittis, as he adds, "But shit! The wasteland is full of mind fuckery ain't it?!"
06[03:38] * +Roy_Calbeck sighs quietly to himself.
06[03:39] * +Sour_Grape nods, "Yeah, it's fuckin' weird."
06[03:39] * +Dust_Off nods, "And you want place to remain as lost and unremarkable an irradiated hole a possible.  It's evil can reach Dune as we showed."
06[03:40] * +Roy_Calbeck nods supportively.
06[03:41] * +Slag_Heap still remains silent.
01[03:41] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Guava Juice shifts somewhat, now being at the base of the staircase, titling his head towards Dust_Off, "Right. I getcha. Stay the fuck away from it. Forget it even exists, not like we believed in it much before. Done... Now then... you find out anything else 'bout my daughter?"
06[03:42] * +Sagittis lowers his cannon a little. Good. He didn't want to shoot Sour_Grape or get killed by Guava's guards for shooting him.
06[03:42] * +Sour_Grape can't remember what he knows... weren't they supposed to like... interrogate somepony?
06[03:44] * +Dust_Off blinks and smiles, "Wow, mundane, deadly conspiracies seem so refreshing.  Your niece is a coward, frightened one, but not at fault.  The mole is mister...mister...the other survivor with the oddly spelled name."
[03:44] <+Dust_Off> "Soup Laddle!"
[03:45] <+Dust_Off> "He's working for the Legion."
06[03:45] * +Sour_Grape "Yeah, and he was working for the NPL."
01[03:55] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Guava Juice blinks and looks at the group rather strangely, "Soup Ladle? But... yas caught Peach in a damn lie... also I listened to that holotape ya got and... I gotta say, it sounded really suspect how my daughter couldn't find Peach Nectar... you sure it's Soup that's fuckin me?"
06[03:59] * +Sour_Grape "I dunno, they were both kinda suspect... not sure how we can really prove who without'em tellin' us they helped set it up. Maybe neither of them helped set it up."
06[03:59] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs. "Could be they wanted a patsy t'distract from Ladle."
01[04:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Guava snorts and says, "You should know, Ladle almost didn't make it. His wounds were so bad that he nearly bit it. That's a pretty damn convicing patsy if ever I heard... but then again, maybe those NPL ponies don't give two shits for their assets."
06[04:01] * +Roy_Calbeck rubs his chin with a hoof and looks to Dust_Off. "Maybe I'm misrememberin' what was on that tape. It's been a helluva couple of nights."
[04:02] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Was it Ladle they said was 'holdin' 'em back'?"
06[04:02] * +Sour_Grape "That does sounds kinda like it was Necter, but how we even know that somepony was an inside job? Maybe Necter was let live afterward and scared into lyin just to try and throw the scent off the NPL?"
06[04:03] * +Dust_Off thinks for a moment, "The Legionnaire says that a profligate told them about Wild Berry and the  convoy."
06[04:04] * +Sour_Grape "A what? An' why that mean it gotta be someone in the convoy?"
01[04:08] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Looks between each group member with a studious eye, then replies to Sour_Grape's question, "That's exactly why I hired you all to begin with, because nothing makes much sense. With everything you've told me and what I've seen in evidence, it really does make me think it was an inside job." Hearing Dust_Off speak, he nods and adds, "Yeah, profligate. It's those shit suckers words for anypony like us who ain't part of their fuckin club. Dun know what it means, don't give a fuck. I let my Thommy here do tha talkin fer me." he pats his SMG with a hoof with much love and respect. Going silent again he speaks now with a cautious tone, "Yas look pretty beat... Y'sure ya don't wanna rest? Been gone all damn night."
01[04:08] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Guava juice looks between each group member...
06[04:10] * +Sour_Grape "Well ya know fer sure now that sompony told, an ya know it was the Legion not another gang. Thats solid info." She nods to the question, "Yea, been'a loong day-night-thing."
06[04:10] * +Dust_Off sighs, "We've had four hours in the past few days and constant combat."  She looks to the others, "We need to interrogate the survivors when not crazy."
12[04:13] * Sagittis is now known as kasjin_sleeping
01[04:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Guava Juice breathes in for a moment, then lets out his breath speaking, "Well, I suggest gettin a good nights sleep then. The Broken Carriage wheel is up and with nopony for you to keep tucked in nice and safe, y'all won't be needing no guards to draw attention to yas. Should be safe. Otherwise, if you think a different place is better, by all means, just warning ya, I can only help so much."
06[04:14] * +Roy_Calbeck nods and looks to Dust_Off. "Sounds great t'me, Cap."
06[04:15] * +Dust_Off shakes her head, "No the inn will be fine."
01[04:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Guava Juice nods to Dust_Off and says, "Alright, then go and relax, get some fresh sleep, cause no offense you all look like hammered shit."
06[04:20] * +Sour_Grape nods, "Yeah... yea..."
06[04:20] * +Roy_Calbeck tosses a polite salute. "Yes, SIR."
06[04:20] * +Sour_Grape jumps back on Dust_Off's back. "Ta lazy'ta fly."
06[04:20] * +Slag_Heap nods.
06[04:21] * +Dust_Off nods to Grape, "I feel you.  Let's head out, squad."  She nods to Guava and leads the way to the inn.
06[04:22] * +Slag_Heap follows, yawning widely.
01[04:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Guava Juice turns to resume his daily activities until he hears Sour_Grape's words and pauses ever so slightly. Casting a small curious glance to the filly, he looks at her for a moment, then snorts and trots up the staircase.
06[04:24] * +Roy_Calbeck follows behind.
06[04:27] * +Dust_Off goes in and gets two rooms one for males and one for females.
01[04:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group, with Sagittis, make their way to the Broken Carriage Wheel. The sun slightly past it's zenith as they enter the inn. The intoxicating aroma of cooked foods assail their nostrils, giving each member a rumbling in their stomachs. The head chef is there once more and smiles broadly to the group speaking in his fancy dialect, "Ah! Bienvenue à nouveau! C'est si bon de te revoir! Oh la la. You look rather... worn. Do you need your rooms once more?"
06[04:27] * +Slag_Heap yawns widely again.
06[04:29] * +Roy_Calbeck nods tiredly. "Absolutely."
01[04:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Wasting no time, the group is shown their rooms, One room for the three males in the group. One for the now two remaining females. Only Five suckers left to go... muwahhaha....
06[04:30] * +Dust_Off freezes and looks up at the ceiling, glaring.
01[04:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape sees Dust_Off acting weird again...
06[04:31] * +Slag_Heap goes into the room. He takes off his saddle and his armour off. He stands by a bed and slooooowly falls sideways. He falls asleep the moment his head hits the pillow. Night night, old man.
06[04:32] * +Sour_Grape ignores her weirdness and gets undressed, "Stupid star spawny fucking." She huffs.
06[04:32] * +Roy_Calbeck debates only briefly between food and sleep, before sleep wins out. It just means he'll have that much better of an appetite when he awakens. Soon enough, the gentle rhythm of a ripper is sounding through the halls.
06[04:32] * +Roy_Calbeck does not even get out of his armor.
06[04:34] * +Slag_Heap is snuggled up in his own bed
01[04:34] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis looks at the two adult stallions and snorts frustratedly. How was he supposed to sleep with such loud noises? If he wasn't bound by his pride and honor, he'd go ask to bunk with the females, but he's a fairly stubborn little fluffy colt. Taking out his mysterious blanket he retrieved somehow, the colt lays down on the comfy love seat and eventually falls asleep.
06[04:34] * +Slag_Heap is a quiet sleeper!
06[04:35] * +Dust_Off strips out of her barding and bags.  She stops, her goggles on her head.  "Grape, I have something for you."
06[04:37] * +Sour_Grape rubs her eyes as she is digging for Gwyen in her bags, "Huh, What's'it?"
06[04:40] * +Dust_Off smiles, "I used to teach foals to fly and it was always a tradition that the instructor gave his  or her student something when they solo'd.  Not only did you solo, but you solo'd in combat.  You still have much to learn, but you deserve these."  She takes off her goggles and adjusts the strap.  "Your first pair of flight goggles."
06[04:42] * +Sour_Grape blinks and looks up at the goggle. She takes a deep breath and squeeees. "Ohmigoshohmigoshohmigosh!" She prances around Dust Off, "They're sooo awesome, HEEeeeee" She hugs one of Dusty's legs.
06[04:42] * +Roy_Calbeck would be completely bloo-eyed d'awww at this, but is unconscious. Shut up, Mr. Metagamer.
06[04:43] * +Dust_Off hugs the filly and puts the goggles on Grape's head.
06[04:43] * +Sour_Grape squees again when she recieves them, "So awesome. Ah'm gunna show'em off ta everyone! That'll show'em!"
06[04:46] * +Dust_Off grins broadly and nods, "No bastard will ever be able to say a thing about you flying.
06[04:46] * +Sour_Grape grins and nods, "They're awesome! Thanks a lot." She grins. D'aww she looks so cute, okay, maybe the blood isn't cute but the rest of her
06[04:49] * +Dust_Off chuckles and changes into her night gown and climbs into bed.  "Show everyone tomorrow".
06[04:49] * +Sour_Grape yawns and nods. SHe goes and picks up Gwyen from her pack and crawls into the other bed. She hugs the doll tight and seems to whisper something it it.
06[04:51] * +Dust_Off watches Grape with a smile for a moment, and then  rolls over.  She stares at the wall, thinking of Sandy before she falls asleep much later with a wet pillow.
06[04:53] * +Sour_Grape closes her eyes and goes to sleep while hugging her doll
06[04:53] * +Sour_Grape is still wearing her goggles
01[04:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 And thus our adventurers finally manage to return to Dune. Hopefully to put the past events behind them while preventing any future victims to be lured to 'The Hollow'. Whether or not their efforts have any succeess is yet to be seen. For now, they rest, gearing to finish this conspiracy surrounding the juice caravan attacks and end further NPL aggression. What awaits our Irregular band of Mareziona wanderers? Find out the answers to these questions on the next session of Star Group, Fallout Equestria!
