AEB Present 1.5 Log 11

Kaorin Sakura has connected.
DNA: 	Ach, please tell me I'm not late
Kaorin Sakura: 	No.
DNA: 	\o/
Chloe has connected.
Avara has connected.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Gimme like, 10 minutes.
Kaorin Sakura: 	:/ Partner isn't in the mood to cook so I'mma make something quick.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Okay, food made.
DNA: 	\o/
Kaorin Sakura: 	I'll have to place the Mika'bobs in the oven when it beeps.
DNA: 	Is that something from Final Fantasy XIV too?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Which it just did
Kaorin Sakura: 	I think those are Miqo'tebabs or something.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Mika'bobs.
DNA: 	Yes, those.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Smokey BBQ Pork Kabobs are MIka'bobs
Chloe: 	miqa'bob I think.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Okay so, lemme get my PDFs open
Kaorin Sakura: 	Oh they are.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Some music.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Oh there it is.
DNA: 	Eclipse System - Active!
Kaorin Sakura: 	...I was oddly prepared.
Kaorin Sakura: 	And now to refresh everyone's memory (mostly mine) on what happened last.
DNA: 	Rochette activated a mechanism in 1 of the 4 ruins. This caused a statue to come alive and drain all the water in the room, thus revealing the grate underneath.
DNA: 	A lot of stealth was involved, so the plan now is to go into the other 3 and do much the same thing.
Avara: 	we were heading towards the nw ruin after i ninja'd past a blind witch (left 4 dead) and drained the room
Kaorin Sakura: 	Y'know what's funny?!
Avara: 	we have supposedly 3 more stone vials to blood
Kaorin Sakura: 	Never played L4D.
DNA: 	You!
Avara: 	neither have i
DNA: 	having never played Golden Sun either!
Kaorin Sakura: 	....>_>
Avara: 	neither have i
Kaorin Sakura: 	I feel so unoriginal.
Avara: 	again
Avara: 	it was just the first thing i was reminded of
DNA: 	(seriously, play Dark Dawn for me. JUST ONCE. Or at least find an LP of it.)
Avara: 	wasn't a copy by FAR
Kaorin Sakura: 	(Find a LP of it and I'll watch that long before I play it)
DNA: 	(Welp, I know what I have to do now!)
Avara: 	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjaRHI0tsr4
Avara: 	episode 1
Chloe: 	AEBpr topped the witch. She was actually in a corner crying.
Chloe: 	The sableye girl
Avara: 	indeed
Kaorin Sakura: 	OP Sableye girl.
DNA: 	well then
DNA: 	thank you Ava
Avara: 	OP AEBPR 1
Kaorin Sakura: 	AEBPr was like an MMO
Kaorin Sakura: 	Patch updates with buffs and nerfs throughout gameplay.
DNA: 	lol
DNA: 	intercept explosion OP pls nerf
Kaorin Sakura: 	Anyway! I'm glad you reminded me wtf was happening. Because I kept misremembering you guys farther.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Oh right, the announcement I KEEP forgetting to make.
Avara: 	oh?
Kaorin Sakura: 	So: We gots a thing.
Kaorin Sakura: 	And everyone hates it.
Kaorin Sakura: 	And then promptly forgets it happened. (At least I hope you guys do)
DNA: 	Who's 'we', what's the 'thing', and who is 'everyone'?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Maptools updating.
Avara: 	there's a new maptools out?
DNA: 	Well, we don't have to update...
Kaorin Sakura: 	So, B90 was dropped (not sure when I was only recently aware of it)
Kaorin Sakura: 	I dunno if we will or won't.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Depends on how it goes after I test it out.
Avara: 	kaorin, i suggest you do a test independently to see if it screws any of your macros
Kaorin Sakura: 	B89, will better than B87, has a few kinks that makes me squirm.
DNA: 	while, not will.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yeah, I plan to test it out before I do anything with it.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yes, while.
Avara: 	okay. so... maptool armageddon
Kaorin Sakura: 	Just wanted to get that out there.
DNA: 	And thus, AEBPR has made another end-of-the-world reference.
Avara: 	question! will we be going through the sneak checks over and over again for the remaining ruins now that we know what they are and all? or will there be some spice of life mixed in?
Kaorin Sakura: 	spice of life?
Avara: 	variety
Kaorin Sakura: 	*shrugs*
Avara: 	mm.
DNA: 	To find out, tune in next time to The Tales Of Victini.
* DNA hums the DBZ episode theme intro.
Avara: 	the flying flashlight?
DNA: 	Yes, that one. Though it's more so a lantern.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Just gonna drop some stuff from last session to keep fresh.
When you make it to the ruins, you notice that there's four of them. Each an equal distance from each one, in a square shape. Almost like a plaza. All of the ruins appear to be two floors, intact and covered in overgrowth.
Within moments, the water that once flooded the area to nearly your knees was gone and you could clearly see the glossy stone floor. When the four of you return to the grate you can clearly see it now. The metal is thin and blade-like along the grate. It seems to have spun a bit in place to drain the water but hasn't yet descended. You can see scrape marks along the inner wall signaling that it has ascended sometime in its past.
Kaorin Sakura: (( With that said... ))
DNA: 	oh I thought there'd be more
	Battlemaster Vell: 	"Using empty Poké Balls for distractions, eh Rochette? Sounds like a great plan, unless you can't retrieve them."
	Rochette: 	"If I'm in a situation where I need to do that, I can part with them. Better that than my head, right?"
	Battlemaster Vell: 	"I suppose that's true. Though should all else fail, the Poké Balls could be used to subdue them."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"If we need to we can go back for them, but we can always buy more later. Like she said...getting Rochette a new head would be much harder."
* Saturn Rosewell was trying to speak as quietly as possible, yet still remain audible, to avoid being noticed by other things.
Battlemaster Vell whispers: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/563252
	Rochette: 	"Keep an eye out for a flash of pokeball light, then. I'll be back." (hopefully). Rochette started walking towards and into the next ruin, prioritizing moving quietly over all else in her movements. stealth. (funny thing about last session? i was forgetting the +2 stealth bonus from one of ro's abilities)
* Saturn Rosewell followed very closely behind Rochette, just in case trouble arose. However, upon reaching the ruin, Saturn kept a safe distance. If necessary, Stealth (2d6+2):
Battlemaster Vell: (( So, before I apply countermeasures. ))
Battlemaster Vell: (( Which ruins are you heading to? ))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	oh, wait. It's 2d6+0, I forgot about the injury. So subtract 2 from whatever that was.
Battlemaster Vell: (( And no longer higher. ))
Avara: 	previously stated, NW ruin
	Saturn Rosewell: 	(I will probably forget multiple times during the night.)
Avara: 	assuming we were previously in SW ruin
Battlemaster Vell: (( SW was the previous. ))
Avara: 	indeed
Avara: 	so now, moving clockwise, we're going to NW
Battlemaster Vell: (( So, to clarify: ))
Battlemaster Vell: (( We have the party approaching the ruins? ))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe waits outside, as a non-stealthy individual.
Battlemaster Vell: (( or was that for people to enter the ruins? ))
Avara: 	ro is entering
Avara: 	saturn is not
	Saturn Rosewell: 	I believe so, though I'll be at least 10 feet behind Rochette. I will not be entering the ruins themselves.
	Battlemaster Vell: 	'kay.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	I am there only in case bad things happen.
Battlemaster Vell: (( Oops. 'kay ))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	'Tis fine. I wasn't sure if 'following behind' required a stealth roll, so I made one anyway just in case.
These ruins, compared to the other three, looks a bit more bronze. They appear to be made of the same stone just only more bronze in colour. It's not readily apparent if that was intentional or if something else were the cause. The ruins are two floors with a singular entrance where there used to be a door that no longer is there.
Kaorin Sakura: (( Also, please note that whispers do not grant typing notifications. ))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	(I wonder why they look more bronze? Intuition! )
DNA: 	They don't? Huh, I did not know that.
Kaorin Sakura whispers: Throw in some medical knowledge as well, please.
Kaorin Sakura: (( Well, if you use my whisper macro that brings up an separate window for whispers ))
Kaorin Sakura: (( typing notifications don't register that new window. ))
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Wait, really? Huh, wasn't expecting that. Medicine check it is! 4d6+2
DNA: 	I don't use the whisper macro. I type faster than I click.
Avara: 	brb
Kaorin Sakura: 	Use it.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Because it just opens a new--oh wait.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Nevermind I got it.
DNA: 	but I don't group whisper anything!
Kaorin Sakura whispers: You can tell it was discoloured by both time and pollution. But it's oddly the only of the four ruins here with this type of discolouration.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Any way of telling how or why it was discoloured, other than time/pollution (or why it was the only one?)
Kaorin Sakura whispers: From where you are, you can't say. Though chemical pollution appears to be a safe bet.
DNA: 	Okay, so is Rochette currently inside the ruins? She is, right?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yes.
DNA: 	mk.
Avara: 	back
Kaorin Sakura: (( Okay. Bombarded Ava with text. ))
DNA: 	You're horrible.
Kaorin Sakura: (( I forget. What's your Power? Or rather, max lifting? ))
	Rochette: 	max carry 230
You can suddenly hear a body thud to the floor and the clanking of metal as it does. Afterward, there are the thudding sounds of something large and heavy moving before it pauses.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe flinched at the sudden sound, but still waited.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Intu to discern what it is
Kaorin Sakura whispers: It sounds like the movements of the statue like from the previous ruin.
* Saturn Rosewell nodded her head slightly.
Kaorin Sakura: 	The GM should be VERY MEAN!
Avara: 	aww
DNA: 	Crapdammit
Avara: 	it's fine. was just a matter of conserving resources
DNA: 	still...principle.
Kaorin Sakura: 	It was an odd ruling to rule.
Rochette: (( was a sort of extention of thought to using used potion bottles as containers ))
DNA: 	...had a feeling.
Kaorin Sakura: (( Mmhm. But bandages typically aren't reusable. ))
Rochette: (( indeed not, but as scrap cloth? ))
Kaorin Sakura: (( Though, used Potions or enriched water should likely be added to inventory as 'empty bottle'. ))
Kaorin Sakura: (( Bloodied cloth? ))
Kaorin Sakura: (( Sensitive on the word scrap. Scrap is actually really useful. ))
Rochette: (( to mop up slime? dried bloodied cloth? sounds viable. not really anywhere to discard bandages around here. ))
DNA: 	I'm assuming it's just a piece of cloth at this point, not actual Scrap (proper noun).
DNA: 	(Not knowing what's going on, going on assumption here.)
Sounds of scraping metal can be heard from within the ruins.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Intu all the strange reactions!
Kaorin Sakura whispers: The only metal object you recall Rochette possessing is the dagger and maybe some Pokeballs. These scraping sounds, while metallic, do not sound like either.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Similar to the statue(s) from before? Or something different still?
Kaorin Sakura whispers: Not at all like the statues.
* Saturn Rosewell tapped the foot of Natasha, who was sitting on her hat, and gave her a look of 'get ready in case'.
The sounds of large heavy footsteps can be heard. As well as the sounds of blades piercing stone repeatedly, moving deeper into the ruins.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"That... sounded interesting." Chloe looked back at the grate to see if it moved.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Yeah..." Saturn still had her eyes trained on the ruins, waiting for Rochette.
There's a sudden loud click from within the ruins and then whirring sounds and the slicing of metal a few times from where the grate is.
	Rochette: 	Rochette will proceed to walk her ninja ass out quietly.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe looked at the grate, watching for any changes or movements in the shadows beyond it's mesh. Perception.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	(I will be doing a thing once Rochette regroups to the party)
Rochette exits the ruins.
	Rochette: 	Rochette gestures for everyone to get moving, mouthing the words "being followed".
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...!" Saturn nods, and wordlessly follows behind Rochette.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	While she does so, she looks to make sure she's all right. Medicine! (4d6+2)
	Rochette: 	((Rochette's left sleeve has been cut short. otherwise she's in the same condition as before. 2 injuries, unharmed recently.))
Moments after Rochette exits the ruins, a creature exits behind her. The creature looks distinctly female and humanshape, save for the limbs after its elbows and knees being long, sharp blades and its head suspended above its body - floating. Its face, very human in shape and complete with a functioning nose though it has no eyes, ears or mouth. It stabs the ground as it walks and sniffs the air.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((My check?))
* Saturn Rosewell is shocked beyond belief, but in her panic to follow Rochette and move far away, Intuition to scan if this creature is the last sibling. It's probably not, but gut reaction, just in case.
Rochette: (( are there any nearby deep pits of doom a la shrine of amana's watery depths? ))
Kaorin Sakura: (( No, just stone flooring. ))
	Rochette: 	Rochette whispers to the group, "there's another still inside. It's tracking by scent. Probably another sense set-up will be on the guards in the other ruins."
Kaorin Sakura whispers: No, you're definitely sure this is not the sister.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: So I thought. Didn't hurt to check.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"What do you suggest we do?" Saturn whispers back. "I'll trust your judgment but how can we hide our scent?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Just to make sure, you guys are moving to the grate? I saw 'moving' but no indication of where to.
	Rochette: 	"If we still had the water that'd be great." ((moving towards the grate, yeah))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((Chloe had been standing around there))
	Rochette: 	"Right now we're isolating it from all the other ruins. If it follows us all the way out here, we'll put it down where nobody can help it."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe looked up from the grate, "It looked like it turned into a solid sheet of-" she cut herself off and covered her mouth as she saw the bladed creature. She pointed to it in a panic, but said nothing.
	Battlemaster Vell: 	Battlemaster Vell cracks his knuckles, "I like the part where its no longer a threat."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Gotcha. Cut it off from help."
	Rochette: 	Rochette nodded. "Vell, can you move in behind it if it steps onto the grate? Keep it from getting away, put it down yourself if you want."
The creature sniffs the air and begins stabbing into the ruin wall, climbing up it loudly like a spider, disappearing from view onto the roof.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((How deep did the grate sink into the ground?))
Kaorin Sakura: (( I thought you were outside the ruins with Saturn actually. ))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((I thought the ruins were next to the grate))
	Rochette: 	Rochette watches the creature, and silently nods. "Looks like it left."
Rochette: (( as far as i can tell, the grate's in the center of a giant room. there are four ruins with four pathways to them centered on the grate ))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	^
	Saturn Rosewell: 	1_2 _G_ 3_4
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((I guess the issue is I don't know how large the square was.))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	...you son of a gun why didn't you take my Returns
Kaorin Sakura: (( The square is actually pretty large. ))
Kaorin Sakura: (( This is like the size of a village. I'm pretty sure I dropped the measurements at one point. ))
Kaorin Sakura: (( Ah, I didn't. ))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((Maybe, I figured everything was within several meters of each other)
Kaorin Sakura: (( By Maptools diagonal measurements, it'd be 15-meters. ))
Kaorin Sakura: 	I have it set as 10-meters, but it's also diagonal rather than horizontal or vertical.
Kaorin Sakura: (( So, a 10-meter distance each ruin is from the grate itself. ))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((Then yes, Chloe was standing closer to the gate than each ruin.))
Kaorin Sakura: (( Well, I gave you the witness description. : 3 ))
	Rochette: 	"Can you sense it moving around?"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"You mean that weird creature?"
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Intu + Mystic Senses to try and pick it up from before. I was watching it so I should know where it is.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I can try..." She took a deep breath.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"...what was that...?" Chloe asked in a fearful, hissed whisper.
	Rochette: 	"One of two guards in that ruin. The first one tracked by sound. This one tracked by scent."
Kaorin Sakura whispers: Th ecreature is no longer on the roof. It seems to be circling the plaza far out of eyesight. Though it won't be sneaking up on you guys. It literally can't with how loud it is with just walking. Unless it were to leap in from the heavens.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Any indication it's getting closer, or is it just circling the perimeter?
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Odd theme..."
Kaorin Sakura whispers: Just circling currently.
	Rochette: 	afk
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"It's just circling the perimeter right now."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I'm guessing it's going to wait until we try to leave. I don't think it's going to come closer. We may have to time our exit."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe nodded, watching out for the movements of that creature, listening to the sounds of her blades stabbing in stone. Perception.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"It's trying to sneak, I can still hear it."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Yeah, I agree. It walks loud but I can barely hear it from where I am. It must be a ways off."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"It's circling us."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Yeah. That's why I think it's waiting for us outside."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe eventually nodded, "Well... the grate turned into a sheet. I'm not sure if that's progress or not." She frowned.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"A sheet of what?"
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe pointed at where the grate was.
The once grate of metal has now become a smooth surface. A sheet of metal.
	Rochette: 	back
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"That...That's odd." Perception to see if it can support someone's weight (or how thick it is) (2d6+2).
	Rochette: 	"How high up would you guess it is?"
	Rochette: 	"The creature, I mean."
Kaorin Sakura whispers: It appears to be capable of supporting immense weight.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe pauses to listen again. Perception.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Listening for elevation/location
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I think it's still on the ground, but..." Intuition
Kaorin Sakura whispers: It's on the ground.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"It sounds like its on the ground still."
	Rochette: 	"How far away?"
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Outside of my vision, but I can't tell too much. It's echo-y in here."
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: How far away is 'far beyond eyesight'?
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I know it's beyond eyesight..."
* Saturn Rosewell closed her eyes tight, as if focusing.
Kaorin Sakura whispers: You're unable to determine an exact distance. Outside of view is the best you can give.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I can't tell anything beyond that."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Should we enter the next ruin as a group then? It may be waiting for us to split appart again before hunting us down."
	Battlemaster Vell: 	"Chloe has a point. The more I think about it, the more I don't want it being a threat at all."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"We were close enough to the ruin entrance to help Rochette if needed, so we aren't really being separated. We're doing that because we aren't all sneaky."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I don't think we should all go in, but I am not letting Rochette get too far away."
	Rochette: 	"We could wait for it and pounce it as a group, if it's a concern. I'll let you guys work this one out while I worry about what sense the next batch of guardians might be using."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"I wasn't worried about Rochette. I'm afraid it will jump everyone waiting outside once we start to split. It only scappered off when it smelt our numbers, I'm willing to wager."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"We might have to fight it as we leave...might. There's a chance we won't have to fight it at all. I'd rather it come to us."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe crossed her arms and closed her eyes, thinking. "A hunter like that, it's strong sense of smell and lack of other senses means it likely hunts using ambush and advantage. If it doesn't see, or rather smell, an advantage then it's placing itself under unnessisary risk. As long as its not desperate for killing, it wont bother us as long as we are together and it is alone."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"If that's the case, it may attack us if we leave out of desperation. Or it may be attempting to gather numbers."
	Rochette: 	"If you're worried about it attacking the group because of a slight drop in numbers, you -could- bring out some pokemon."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"And it does seem like a hunter. It was chasing Rochette but then ran off. Could be like that anklebiter who runs away when it sees a group."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Either way, I think we should repeat what we've been doing, finishing up the job. We're halfway there."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"We could also use smoke if we have to. WIth what we have on hand, smoke and fire are the two things we have that could sear a sense of smell."
* Natasha was bouncing up and down. She could totally do something like that! It was exciting she'd be used for something more than just light.
	Rochette: 	"Do that if you think it'll help. On a guess... I'm thinking the next ruins will have sight and heat as possible tracking senses."
	Rochette: 	"So if you flooded the ruins and I used some cloth for a make-do gas mask, we could clear the next two ruins easier or attract more trouble."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"We're kinda out of water, though smoke should be doable, I hope. It could backfire though, which is what concerns me..."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"Sounds, Sight, Smell, Aura, Thought... Those are the distance senses that come to mind.
	Battlemaster Vell: 	"Heat and vibrations also come to mind."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe looked a bit sheepish, "A-ha... I was thinking out loud. An escape plan, or brainstorm..."
	Battlemaster Vell: 	"Thermosensativity comes in more formes than just sight."
	Rochette: 	"Snakes come to mind."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe nodded. "Heat and Vibration would both be touch. But then, I wouldn't count on a pattern to exist, no matter how easy it is to think in patterns."
	Rochette: 	"Let's all go to the ruin this time. I'll head in alone, and if I need help I'll let you guys know depending on what senses I can tell the guards are using."
	Rochette: 	"If you need help from me, let me know somehow."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"What kind of signal should we agree on?"
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe nodded.
Kaorin Sakura: 	The GM should be VERY NICE!
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...! We could have Natasha adjust how much light she gives off. Like if she alternates dim-bright-dim 3 times in 3 seconds?"
	Rochette: 	"I won't always be looking out the door."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"That way you wouldn't even have to turn around."
	Rochette: 	"If you're positioned to shine inward you could catch the attention of sight-capable guards.."
	Rochette: 	"If you need me, whistle. If they can't hear you they can't hear you, if they can hear you and they're using sound as their primary tracking sense, a loud whistle could be disabling."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...That actually sounds like a much better idea. Loud whistle it is."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe nodded with a smile, thumbing over the whistle around her neck.
	Rochette: 	"Alright. Everyone agreed, then?"
* Saturn Rosewell nodded. Natasha gave a (very quiet) thumbs-up!
	Rochette: 	"Natasha, if the scent hunter gets too close please fry her nose with smoke and fire before she can get anyone."
* Saturn Rosewell communicated as such to her.
* Natasha gave Rochette a nod
	Rochette: 	Rochette goes into the ruins, staying close against the stone walls to cool herself and staying as low as possible.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe stays with Saturn and Vell.
	Natasha: 	Assuming we're at the 3rd ruin already.
Kaorin Sakura: (( Before I begin this wall of text for Ava. ))
Kaorin Sakura: (( I sent DNA an awesome image I stumbled upon. ))
	Natasha: 	You did? Oh, so you did.
DNA: 	haaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha
Kaorin Sakura: 	\o/ Success!
Kaorin Sakura: 	And now, wall of text.
Rochette: (( may i see it? ))
Kaorin Sakura: (( You don't want to. ))
DNA: 	(can confirm)
Kaorin Sakura: (( Though if you insist I will oblige. But knowing you, I know you won't enjoy it. Or if you did, I'd be surprised. ))
Kaorin Sakura: (( I did the GM niceness macro to tone down the ruin you're going into. ))
Kaorin Sakura: (( And the resulting image I stumbled upon and gave to DNA was me searching to tone it down. ))
Rochette: (( you shouldn't have mentioned it out loud if you didn't want me to see it. now i'm curious ))
DNA: 	(It involves a spider)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Gimme some intuition to navigate the path as it changes.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Sell me another skill for navigating it if you like.
	Rochette: 	((perception for patterns in teh changes?))
Kaorin Sakura: 	Sure.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Intu to keep locked onto Rochette
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Perception to make sure the scent creature is still distant. [gm: 4d6+2\
The familiar sounding of a large creature moving within the ruin emits.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Is that the statue, the hunter from before, or something else we know?
Kaorin Sakura whispers: The statue.
Kaorin Sakura whispers: You also notice that one of the auras of the creature in the ruin descends between where Rochette is and the exit.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Okay, weirdass question. Is it possible to use Natasha's Telepath capability to project a message from Saturn to Rochette?
Kaorin Sakura whispers: It'll originate from Natasha, not Saturn. So it'll be in the language Natasha can speak.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Crap. Trying to find a word that's understandable...
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Found it! 1sec, typing it for you.
Kaorin Sakura: (( Hold on, DNA's doing a thing. ))
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Natasha is attempting to project (with Telepath) this message to Rochette: "Je bent in gevaar! Achter je! Over je schouder!"
* Saturn Rosewell and Natasha both whistle, loudly!
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe flinches.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Chloe, there's something behind Rochette!"
	Rochette: 	Rochette turns to look over her shoulder!
	Rochette: 	"..." Rochette moves her hand quietly, checking to see if she's being watched.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: I want to see if that produces any change in the figure. Intuition to sense its life/aura , and Perception to look for movement .
	Chloe Blanchett: 	"D-do we rush in?" Chloe asked, gadging whether the others seemed ready to move.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Slowly..." Saturn whispered. "If it moves closer to Rochette, we should."
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Chloe nodded and gripped a pokeball.
* Natasha was ready. Ready to cause havoc! Maybe.
	Rochette: 	"E matau koutou ki ahau?"
	Rochette: 	Rochette speaks in a calm, neutral voice.
Kaorin Sakura whispers: You can see the other aura descend down behind Rochette. Now there's one aura both in front and behind Rochette.
	Rochette: 	"E kore matou e kino ia koutou, ki te kore koutou e tukino i a matou."
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Which one is Rochette talking to, the one who was behind?
Kaorin Sakura whispers: She turned around when you notified her. So now the 'new' one is behind her.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Now also shooting the following message to Rochette: "Je bent tussen twee nu! Aan beide zijden van u! Over de schouder! Éen meer!"
	Rochette: 	"I ngakau rua e ahau ki a koutou te tiki makona i te kai i konei. E hiahia ana koe ki te haere mai ki a tatou? Kaua e kore ahau tīmata i te whawhai, ki te kore tatou e whai ki te."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Chloe. We move. Now. She's surrounded."
* Saturn Rosewell and Natasha both gave off another loud whistle each.
	Rochette: 	Rochette turns to look towards the entrance again, sighing. She pulls out Roland's pokeball and lets him out next to the first being.
Kaorin Sakura: 	2 vs. DEF
Kaorin Sakura: 	Does that hit?
	Rochette: 	Iiit... does, unless there was a blessing cast on us earlier that raises evasion
	Rochette: 	I don't remember if the sisters did that.
	Chloe Blanchett: 	Perception to notice the pokeball flash
Kaorin Sakura: 	Didn't go off yet.
	Rochette: 	Can I interrupt the attack?
Kaorin Sakura: 	The blessing wore off. It was cast for a day before you went to get the 2nd sister.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Do I have permission to go in and use Incinerate on the first hostile I see?
	Rochette: 	((there are two things or more. i want one.))
	Rochette: 	((if i can take Priority)) Rochette estimates based on the height of the first being she ran across and spun around, loosing a quick double-jab!
	Saturn Rosewell: 	(I know, though from Saturn's point of view, Rochette's about to be attacked)
	Rochette: 	((let me try to be more clear))
	Rochette: 	((there are two. i want one. i do not care about the other.))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	(I'm not trying to beat them up, though. Just disabling.)
	Saturn Rosewell: 	(Oh, ah.)
	Chloe Blanchett: 	((From Chloe's pov, the flash of a released pokemon was the sign to rush in))
	Rochette: 	((kaorin?))
	Rochette: 	((can i take the priority attack or no?))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	(As a note also, I plan to charge in either way, whether or not I can get a pre-emptive attack off.)
	Saturn Rosewell: 	(...I bet GM is making a map or something.)
	Rochette: 	(probably)
Statue must wait 27.849 seconds before it may move again!
Kaorin Sakura: (( And i stated that were no flash yet ))
	Chloe Blanchett: 	(( Which is why Chloe has no reason to take action yet ))
Kaorin Sakura: 	And I've quickly made a map.
Avara: 	i see it. :3
Avara: 	my rochette and roland are most updated from my PC box.
Saturn Rosewell: 	Oh, I scroll over further in Caverns. There it is.
Kaorin Sakura: (( Yup ))
Kaorin Sakura: 	Place your tokens outside of the walls.
Avara: 	i want one.
Avara: 	i am not terribly picky.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Now, the attack is coming from behind you.
DNA: 	Positioned.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Rob, do you need to be enforced?
Avara: 	indeed it is. i was warned before the attack was launched, however.
Avara: 	was mid turn-round when it was announced
Chloe Blanchett: 	((Just fetching))
Kaorin Sakura: 	If you do priority, which you can, it will prevent you from calling out your Pokemon. Also, this is being done before your calling out so, if it succeeds, it may very well prevent you from using your Pokeball.
Avara: 	i thought using a pokeball when you had no mons out was a free action?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Shift.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Calling or recalling is a Shift. Doing both is a Standard.
Avara: 	ahh.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Jugglers are just better at this thing.
Avara: 	and using priority, doesn't that give you your turn right now?
* Kaorin Sakura grumbles about jugglers.
Avara: 	which'd include the shift?
Kaorin Sakura: 	If you choose to remain where you are, yes.
Avara: 	my plan was to release roland, turn around, and double-hit the spider behind me
Avara: 	pretty stationary
Kaorin Sakura: 	Go for it.
Avara: 	i keep forgetting how to determine max throw range
DNA: 	4+ath, I think. ECLIPSE!!
DNA: 	Yep, it's 4+ath.
Kaorin Sakura: 	DNA is correct.
	Rochette: 	13
	Rochette: 	5
	Rochette: 	vs physical
	Rochette: 	22 normal physical.
DNA: 	I think it flinches if it hits, right?
DNA: 	if I'm remembering Ambush correctly.
	Rochette: 	yes
Rochette: (( but if i remember right these are ghost type ))
	SpiderB: 	SpiderB loses 11 hit points.
Avara: 	huh, guess i was wrong
SpiderB: (( And that was Ambush, yes? ))
	Rochette: 	"Yeah, you don't get to do that."
	Rochette: 	((yes.))
SpiderB: (( Which prevents its attempt against you. ))

Kaorin Sakura: 	SpiderA would also get a thing to do as well, if that's fine with you guys.
Avara: 	i'll let you guys decide
Avara: 	also.... just realized, we're running late. huh.
DNA: 	I also just noticed this!
Kaorin Sakura: 	I figured this would be the last tihng.
Avara: 	hmm. i wonder how many ruins we will get done next week? 1 and a half?
Kaorin Sakura: 	I know after you saw this you'd likely want one. And no one likes starting a campaign with combat. And DNA hates not having progress.

DNA: 	Not sure
Battlemaster Vell: (( I don't recall them healing yet. ))
Battlemaster Vell: (( Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. ))
DNA: 	I forgot how many bandages I gave him, or if we stayed in that hut for more than 3 hours
Avara: 	we waited for healsies
Battlemaster Vell: (( My notes say he still has a bandage on. ))
Battlemaster Vell: (( Ah, then yeah ))

Battlemaster Vell: (( So, he'd be at 2. ))
Battlemaster Vell: (( He was never severely injured. ))

Kaorin Sakura has connected.
Chloe has connected.
DNA: 	The last thing I saw was Vell's Initiative change. Then I DC'd. I assume after that he just missed his turn, and...okay, whose turn is it now?
DNA: 	Ah, okay, it's Rochette's turn next, of course.
	Battlemaster Vell: 	Mmhm
Avara has connected.
	Rochette: 	Rochette throws a Friend Ball!
	Rochette: 	8 vs speed.

DNA: 	wait.
DNA: 	1d100 -TL x2
DNA: 	you subtract your level twice.
Avara: 	rolled as per what DNA said
Kaorin Sakura: 	Nope.
DNA: 	wait, that says Pokemon's level times two
DNA: 	CRAP
DNA: 	dammit I didn't look all the way to the left. Forgive me. So it's just 1d100 minus ball modifier.
