PnP Group 4 Session 46

<uSeaGM> **PnP Group 4 Session 46**
* Cranberry_Cookie ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP
<uSeaGM> Our party has survived their encounter with savage timber wolves but not without injury. In particular, Spectre and Milia suffered nasty wounds and it's only thanks to Milia's blood-stop goo that the shotgun-wielding Spectre isn't feeling faint after a deep gash across her throat.
<uSeaGM> Our party is now all together on the metallic platform that forms a base for the old shack that attracted their attention in the first place. This platform juts out from the side of the hill at a height that lets you see above the treetops.
* uSeaGM gives voice to Milia Spectre Watch_Tower ThePrettiestFilly
* ThePrettiestFilly is now known as AtomBell
* Watch_Tower watches the fires that his plasma grenades started for a bit. He was still beating himself up a bit that he couldn't pull them all up.
<uSeaGM> Smoke drifts upwards into the dark, cloud-filled sky.
* AtomBell is still occupied with filling Spectre and Milia's bellies with healing potion
* Shady_Steps ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP
* Spectre stumbled after being teleported to therest of the part and props her riot shotgun on her shoulder, flashing a cocky grin. right before falling over onto her side and squeaking out "Ow."
* Milia whimpers as she looks back to her cloak, covered in blood and bile and dirt. She can't help but let out a small chuckle at Spectre's tumble. "How you feelin' there, Spec?"
* AtomBell rushes to Spectre's side with another bottle of healing potion in her mouth.  She gently tilts her goopy marefriend's head towards her, smiling in relief.
<Spectre> "Let's just say I-" She suddenly has a healing potion in her mouth
* AtomBell nods
<AtomBell> "Hush you.  Brag in a minute."
* Milia snickers.
* AtomBell finishes, putting the empty bottle in her bag and turning to her giggly patient
<AtomBell> "Oh no, you get some too young lady!  Open wide!" Atom says, waggling another bottle
* Spectre tries to speak around the bottle, causing healing potion to dribble out of her mouth "Wahn't baghin"
* Shady_Steps has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
* Milia opens her mouth wide, happy to be getting some healing treatment. Her body was throbbing all over. "Aaaaaah."
* AtomBell gently feeds the zebra her medicine too
<AtomBell> "And somezebra has somepony that could use some hugs...." she quietly informs Milia
* No_One is now known as Hatari
* RainbowYoshi is now known as Steve
* AtomBell goes back to Spec.
* Watch_Tower was uninjured and feeling a bit guilty for that still. So he just watches the Forest burn.
* Spectre lets out a little shudder as the potion does it's job
* AtomBell removes the bottle and wipes her mouth off with a nuzzle.  "Now you can talk," she says.
* Milia accepts Atom's potion gratefully, letting out a coo of satisfaction as the tingly, feel-good healing magic begins to work its...magic. "Ahhhh...goesh down eashy..." she sputters out around the bottle.
* Milia stores the glassware in her bags, seeing as empty bottle came in ridiculously handy. Especially for an alchemist!
* Artifica nods.  Healing potions are magic!
<Spectre> "I forgot what I was saying."
* AtomBell was expecting those bottles to be returned, like the milkmare
* Milia will return it! She's just gonna put stuff in it first. She swears it won't be alcohol, either.
* AtomBell has plenty of uses for them.  She kisses Silent on the head.... and the nose.... and the ears.... and horn..... it's quite indecent the way she keeps kissing her patient everywhere.
* Spectre giggles and wiggles around
* Milia sighs in relief. No longer oozing out vital fluids, she turns her attention to Watch Tower and Artifica. "So...umm...should we like, look inside this hut, you think? Or...maybe...uh, wow..."
* Milia trails off, her attention drawn to Watch Tower's current focus. "...that might be bad."
<Watch_Tower> "Yeah...we should...probably deal with that at somepoint...,but...I appear to have set the forest on fire..."
* Shady_Steps ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP
<Watch_Tower> "I...guess I should take responsibility for that...enjoy the shack I guess?"
* Watch_Tower starts his way toward the fires on hoof preparing to spread his shield thin and smother out the flames a section at a time as kinda a ground crawling wall.
* AtomBell gives up her attempt at covering Spec in lipstick once she remembers shge doesn't have any lipstick.  "What d'ya plan to do Wa-"
* Milia raises an eyebrow. "Uh, need some help with that? I can...try to kick the fire out...yeah okay, I'm no firemare."
<Watch_Tower> "Cheaty magic." He sighs. "Same as always...I'm going to need rest after this..."
* Milia calls out to the stallion. "Don't push yourself too hard, now!"
* Berry takes her laser pistol and starts exhamining the trees "i can disintegrate some, so that the fire won't spread this way..."
* AtomBell frowns, "I'm going to help."
<Watch_Tower> "I should be fine with this much...mostly worried about the fire and smoke."
* AtomBell stands up, dropping her coat over Spec's back
* Spectre rather wishes she had a spell that could help.
<Watch_Tower> "Also I...have a spell that should protect me from the environment...while I get to fixing this..."
* Watch_Tower mumbles. "Seem to have a spell for everything."
<AtomBell> "Somepony needs to clear brush away, and throw some dirt on the ground fire."
* AtomBell leaves her bags on the ground by Artifica as well
* AtomBell runs to join Watch_Tower
* Berry is a little clueless about whatever is going on, so decides to simply sit there and behave
<Watch_Tower> "I've got the protective magic...let me go." He sighs. "This isn't me being all mopey and self destructive I just don't have the energy to protect you and put the fire out."
<AtomBell> "You don't need to just dive into the fire to fight it.  Got to stop it from spreading ahead, clear brush out ahead or start a backfire."
* Berry "put the fire out? why in hell you wantt to fight a fire all alone? besides, you'll die of suffocation going there. immunity to fire or not"
* Watch_Tower manifests his magic and "I can smother the fire with a shield."
* Berry "you know, fire burns air, you need air to live.... does that tick?"
<Watch_Tower> "Actually covered by the spell...used it to breath in some underwater tunnels once."
* Watch_Tower starts to enact his plan to smother fires with his shield while being protected by his spell.
* Milia rubs the back of her head. "Well...I guess we should get to looking around inside while they take care of that..." she mutters.
* AtomBell doesn't do any of that then and just stays with Spectre
<Watch_Tower> <Keep in touch.>
* Spectre rolls to her hooves
<Milia> <Always.>
* Milia heads inside to do exactly that.
<uSeaGM> To everypony's surprise, a strange filly coughs to make herself known behind Berry.
* Berry "i'd rather stay here and check on henchpony there.... in case something goes south"
* AtomBell sits there.
<uSeaGM> “Good Afternoon Sir Slash Madame I Am A Rainbow Squirt Would You Like To Buy A Box Of My Delicious Rainbow Cookies Or Other Assorted Snacks?” the Squirt reads in one breath.
<AtomBell> "Be car-ah!"
* Milia stops in her tracks. "Gah!"
* Berry turns on herself taking a look to the newcomer "what the fudge!?"
<uSeaGM> From out of nowhere a young filly has appeared. She has a green hat and sash, covered in sew-on badges, and is wearing a red neck tie with a matching bow in her tail. She also has a rucksack on her back and a leaflet held up in front of her by some sort of apparatus around her neck so the little earth pony can read it without holding it herself.
<AtomBell> "AH," she shouts again, still processing the shock
* Berry frowns "did i say fudge? fuck, i wanted to say fuck... i'm a badass, you know..."
* Spectre blinks
* AtomBell pants heavily, noble bat wings fully extended and heaving in shock
<uSeaGM> The Squirt continues: “We Have Chocolate Chip Cookies and Raisin and Hazelnut Cookies and Double Chocolate Chip Cookies and Ginger Cookies and Inconceivable Cookies and Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies and Tagalong Cookies and Surprisingly Squidgy Cookies and Unsurprisingly Squidgy Cookies and—“
* Watch_Tower is completely unaware of the ninja girlscout
* Berry "and yes, snacks, i'd totally want one... do you have powerthirst?"
* Milia opens her mouth to say something, but a confused noise is all that escapes her.
<Milia> "...H-...how...much?"
<uSeaGM> Suddenly her attention gets caught by smoke from the trees below and her eyes widen in horror.“The forest! The forest! The forest is on fire!” She runs around the corner of the shack and... vanishes.
* Watch_Tower is quickly trying to fix that
<Spectre> "Well that was...abrupt."
<Milia> "...Inconceivable...cookies..."
* Berry tries chasing the scout filly "hey wait, it's dange- i mean, my snack!"
<AtomBell> "Tagalogs."
<Milia> "...I wonder what they tasted like..."
<AtomBell> "Inconceivability."
* Milia trots inside, where it's less confusing.
* AtomBell is hiding behind Spectre now, fighting her evil wings down
<uSeaGM> On the forrest floor, Watch_Tower is literally battling the elements, when he is joined by a Squirt with a small plastic bucket of water.
* Spectre nibbles on one of Atom's 'evil' wings "Lets go with Milia. Should be less smoky in there, hopefully."
* Watch_Tower turns to see the little foal. "Woah hey kid careful this is dangerous!"
<AtomBell> "But a higher chance of filly scouts," she mumbles, weakened by wing nibbles
* Berry takes a look around "ooookay... that was weird... do you see her somewhere?"
* Berry is now known as Cerberus
<Spectre> "Maybe they'll have delicious cookies?"
<uSeaGM> She throws the water, and is passed another bucket by the Squirt behind her. There's a whole chain of them, reaching back behind the hill that holds the party's shack.
* AtomBell points at the line of foals
* Watch_Tower does a double take, but quickly goes back to trying to fight the fire hurried by the fac there were now foals in danger
* Artifica is still staring at where the filly disappeared.  "Did I....?  Everypony else saw that, right?"
<Spectre> "Yup."
<Milia> "Sure did, sweetie."
* Cerberus has a bad case of jaw dropping "they...." the filly frowns, her pride being endangered "hey! nopony can say that i didn't help with a fire when even little useless ponies did!" berry runs toward the line of scouts to give her hoof too
<uSeaGM> Watch_Tower's shield seems able to contain the fire but he isn't able to push it back by himself.
* Watch_Tower still does his best to smother the smaller fires even if he can't stop the big ones. He certainly can stop it from spreading.
* AtomBell is amazed
<uSeaGM> Each time he tries to push foward the brush he stops covering reignites, so great is its temperature and so dry is the air.
* Cerberus takes out her rifle, aiming for the nearest burning tree "let's put some of these poor things out of their misery" and zap goes the rifle
* AtomBell said that would happen.
* Watch_Tower checks the foals to see how they're handling this hostile environment.
* Shady_Steps has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
<uSeaGM> The foals are completely unfazed by the heat, which is uncomfortable even with Equestria's Love. The water-thrower is working with Watch's shield to dowse small fires.
* Shady_Steps ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP
* Watch_Tower was using the advanced form so he finds himself shocked by these Foals. That...can't be right...
* Cerberus keeps firing at the trees, trying to block the fire from spreading and aiming for the borders of the fire
<uSeaGM> Cerberus demonstrates that the best way to fight fire is with fire, and systematically vaporises the burning trees with her Magic Rifle. After a minute or two, all that's left is a few burning bushes.
* Watch_Tower gets to smothering those.
* Artifica_ stares in dismay.  Her mind rummages through her spell arsenal, hoping to find something useful for a fire.  But she comes up empty-saddled.  Magically cleaning the forest wasn't going to help.
* Cerberus checks her ammo while reloadingg when all the large trees are gone "well, i hope we don't need to use this rifle any soon..."
<uSeaGM> The Squirts cheer and head back into the forest, seeming to disappear the moment they get out of sight behind a tree.
<Watch_Tower> <so...can somepony tell me what fuck?>
<Watch_Tower> <Army of filly scouts out of no where?>
<Milia> <La la la la la la la la not listening!>
* Cerberus "who cares, we showed them how we put fires down 'round here!" laughs and then goes sniffingg a tree next to her and then... well, doggy things
* Milia 's head was starting to hurt.
* AtomBell has fallen asleep or passed out again or something
* Spectre was snuggled up with AtomBell
* Watch_Tower starts to trot back to the others. <no seriously what the hay?>
* AtomBell groans
* Milia was in the shack, where things made sense.
* Milia is hoping.
<uSeaGM> The shack is quite small and looks like it was some kind of military lookout post. Its currently occupied by a fallen tree, which brought most of the roof with it. Inside, exposed to the elements, an old mattress has rotted to nothing and several bones can be seen amongst the decayed bedding, all that remains of the original sentry.
* Cerberus trots next to the falen ponies, then sniffs the bones
* Watch_Tower pauses. <well...if I'm not getting an answer...I guess I'm gonna go chase down some filly scouts...>
* Watch_Tower drops the shield he'd had up and gets searching for filly scouts!
<AtomBell> "Wait, no!"
* AtomBell is roused by some many ponies doing dangerous things at once
<AtomBell> "Don't go off chasing spectral  fillies by yourself!  Berry, don't disrespect graves!"
* Cerberus "awwww! but they smelled super rotten!"
<Spectre> "Well don't disrespect graves that don't deserve to be disrespected."
* Milia looks over the rather humble interior. <Man, whoever designed this place needed to be fired. They put a tree RIGHT in the middle of the room.>
* Cerberus sighs and stops disrespecting the yummy bones
<Watch_Tower> <Yeah that thing fell before I set the forest on fire.>
<Watch_Tower> <and what's wrong with chasing spectral fillies...if nothing else...I think I've got one more good teleport in if I get in danger."
* AtomBell groans again
<Watch_Tower> >
<AtomBell> "Fiiiiine."
* Milia is also interested in the bones. Namely, what sort of stuff was around the remains. Anything worth looting?
<Watch_Tower> <Sides aren't you gonna yell at me for saving you before spec?>
<Spectre> <S'not like I died.>
<Milia> <Only almost.>
* Cerberus <ah... wait a moment... tower... is he.... is he after underage ponies?>
* Spectre burst out laughing
* Watch_Tower finds himself laughing
<AtomBell> "I hate you all," Atom sulks
<uSeaGM> Milia soon notices some spots on the shelves that are cleaner than others, evidence that something was there for a long time before being taken. This place has been looted before and these thoughts are confirmed by a few stacks of empty ammo boxes and a weapon locker hanging open.
<Watch_Tower> <hahaha no, I'm still taken by Rarity...even if it'll never happen">
* Spectre applies kisses to sulky Atom
<uSeaGM> Although disheartened, some more rummaging reveals several locked ammo boxes which someone has attempted to force open. Picking the locks has been made more difficult but it shouldn't be impossible.
* Cerberus since nomming bones is a no-no, the filly opts for her second favoured game. annoying ponies, so she hops on milia's back and curls in a plushie donut
* Milia snickers at Cerberus' comment, yelping in surprise as the filly jumps onto her. "Oof! Alright then, this is happening now, apparently."
* Cranberry_Cookie is now known as Shellac
* AtomBell returns nuzzles to the helpful Silent Spectre
* Milia is hardly annoyed. "I never knew you cared so much, Cerberus." she deadpans, continuing to rummage. "Man, I think this place has been hit before we got here...probably those filly scout-oh! Jackpot!"
* Milia pulls out the three ammo boxes. She grunts in frustration when she finds them locked. "Aw, piss-yeti...they're locked...>
<Milia> (("*))
<Spectre> "Sounds like you're up sweetie."
<Milia> <Atom?  You're good at picking locks, right?  Found some goodies here in locked boxes, and I don't think Betty is up to the task.>
* Spectre nuzzles AtomBell
<AtomBell> "Hm?  Yes?"
* Cerberus yawns and hides her face into milia's mane "mh, good smell.... roasted pony...." the filly licks milia in the neck a couple of times and then yawns again
<AtomBell> "Wait, who?" she flicks her ears as she disentangles from Spectre, "Look, that healing potion shouldn't have made you hallucinate."
<Spectre> "...what?"
<uSeaGM> When Watch_Tower went down to the woods today he was in for a big surprise. When Watch went down to the woods today he wished he'd gone in disguise. For every wolf that they had fought, even those that had fallen to a shotgun's report, were rejoining together to get ready for a piiicnic.
<Spectre> "Locked things."
<Spectre> "Lockpicking pony."
* Watch_Tower is really not too worried about being surrounded by big...scary...wolves.
<Spectre> "Will you just go into the cabin and help Milia? Goddess."
* Milia yelps in surprise as a warm, wet tongue brushed up against her neck. "Nnnnghahaa~!"
<Milia> "...don't be getting any idea up there, missy, I've been chewed on enough today!"
<Milia> ((ideas*))
* AtomBell whines, "I just want to know who Betty is!"
* AtomBell goes.
* Milia goes and yanks one of the more sizable bones free from the skeleton, offering it to the pile of fluff on her back. "Here, lick this instead. It's okay if /I/ desecrate it, right? Right."
<AtomBell> "Whatever."
* Spectre facehoofs
<uSeaGM> The WOLF, for it is a single, colossal wolf now, is not fully formed. Only its front half is together, the rest streaming in as a strange ash-like smoke cloud.
<Watch_Tower> <uhh...guys remember this wolves?
<Watch_Tower> <...Apparently they're like those toys that you can put togeather...>
* Watch_Tower changes his ammo back to Plasma
* Cerberus "ah... you mean they are willing to play?"
<Milia> <Wolves?  What wolves?  Yes, Watch, we remember the wolves.>
<Milia> <<Wait, uh, how do you mean?  Watch, are you screwing around with Timberwolf corpses now?>
* Cerberus also, "those bones are tempting but you are softer. i like licking you more"
<Watch_Tower> <...They're making a giant wolf...should I...try and stop it?>
* Cerberus <i don't think i got it... there are other wolves making a statue of a big wolf? like.. some sort of wolf memorial? does that sound dumb just to me?>
* Milia chuckles at Berry and puts the bone back. "Okay, you win..." she concedes.
<Watch_Tower> <...actually maybe...I should screw with it...well this leaves me RED in the face...,but I'm probably going to set the forest on fire again...>
<uSeaGM> IT growls, vibrating the ground beneath Watch's hooves, and reaches forward with one giant claw to pull itself closer.
<Watch_Tower> <Think more like...giant wolf...> Watch slaps on the flight Talisman and flies above the tree layer.
<Watch_Tower> <AND ITS MOVING!>
* Cerberus sighs "okay, watch lost it... let's just go outside and see what is going on...." jumps off the zebra  and trots outside
* Watch_Tower believes in pre-emptive strikes and fires a couple plasma grenades at it.
* AtomBell slides the opened boxes over to Milia
<uSeaGM> Watch_Tower's children chase took him quite a distance from the site of the fire and is out of sight of the others.
* Watch_Tower looks around to be sure. <...and I'm lost...well that's nice...>
* Milia is a bit concerned now. She nods graciously to Atombell before popping the boxes open, thought, figuring that she should at least see what she found in here before heading out to find their resident stallion.
<AtomBell> "Silent, can you see him?"
* Artifica_ looks towards the forest.  "If it's that big, we might be able to see it above the trees."
* Spectre looks for Watch_Tower through her scope
<Watch_Tower> <...you know I just realized...maybe I should have shown you what I was seeing...>
* Milia calls out from the shack. "Hey, gunponies! Who wants bullets? Got a bunch of 'em here."
* Cerberus takes a look around to see where the hay is this big bad wolf
* AtomBell nods in agreement with Artifica as she steps outside, "Either one, aye."
* AtomBell looks
<AtomBell> "How're you feeling Arti?"
* Artifica_ answers, "Worried."
<Watch_Tower> <I'll...probably just wind up showing you all after I get some rest....since all this magic is tiring me...>
* Artifica_ looks back to Milia.  "Are they five fifty-six?"
<uSeaGM> The big bad wolf doesn't seem to like Watch's treatment, especially since he was currently out of reach. The giant wolf torso starts to drag itself away, deeper into the forest.
* AtomBell nuzzles her, "I meant physically, but yes."
* Milia chirps back a response. "Thirty two, three fifty seven, and three oh eight, I'm afraid! Sorry, hon'!" She trots outside, turning her attention to the distant sound of exploding grenades. "Well...they're in there, if anypony wants 'em..."
<Milia> <...Watch, are you setting the forest on fire again?"
<Milia> ((>*))
* Cerberus <watch, stop putting stuff on fire and come back we have places to go and i can't affort wasting more ammo preventing a global fire>
<Watch_Tower> <I already told you giant...know what...I'll just show you...it's running away now...uhh Milia heads close your eyes>
* Watch_Tower casts shared senses on his sight and watches the giant wolf crawl away.
* Milia closes her eyes, as instructed. <You got it.>
* Cerberus starts climbing the highest place in the area to see if she can get a decent sight of the explosion site
<Watch_Tower> <At the very least you can tell the others that I'm not crazy and was seeing the giant wolf.>
* Milia grimaces, both at the alien sensation of seeing through another pony's sight, and at the visual itself. <Yech...you weren't kidding when you said big wolf...>
* Watch_Tower closes his eyes a moment before the spell takes effects before opening them to let her see. (Before ^)
<AtomBell> "Can we not get involved in any more fights right now?"
<Watch_Tower> <Also you missed my cue for saying RED before>
<Artifica_> <No, we got it.>
<Watch_Tower> <Uhh...Atom I think I drove the thing further into the woods.>
<Watch_Tower> <oh uhh...can one of you tell me which...way the explosion sounded to be from>
<Watch_Tower> <so I can...fly back toward y'all?>
* AtomBell thinks
* AtomBell points
<uSeaGM> Although momentarily disorientated by the smokey air, when above the treetops Watch_Tower is able to spot the raised hill that contains their hut.
* Watch_Tower focuses and teleports back to the hill taking his talisman off once he's on the ground.
* Watch_Tower is now panting heavily. <I...think...I'm done...with my magic...until I get some rest...>
* Arcane_Sleeping[A] is now known as Arcane_Scroll
* Watch_Tower trots slowly up to the others. "So...what...was in the hut?."
* Milia flinches as Watch Tower pops back in the middle of their group. She eyes him, a worried look on her face. "Yeah, no kidding...you look like you're running on fumes, there. Oh, and, uh...just some ammo. And a skeleton. And a tree. And a mattress. And my profound disappointment."
<Spectre> "I can carry you if you need it, Watch. Though I'm pretty sure the boss isn't supposed to be carrying the minion~"
* Milia decides she may as well go get the ammo, so she can parcel it out when ponies need it.
* Spectre goes to check the hut since she'd been distracted
* Artifica_ peeks back inside, idly wondering if Milia left her disappointment within.
* Watch_Tower nods. "I think that mattress...might be the best find...and Thanks Boss...,pretty sure you're the only one that could carry me..."
<uSeaGM> As she heads inside to fetch their ammo, Milia spots the bony limb of a second equine skeleton just barely sticking out from under the fallen tree. This strikes you as odd since the shack is barely large enough for a single pony to have stayed here, let alone two. The tree itself is long dead and rotten to the core.
* AtomBell puts her everything back on
* Milia did, in fact, leave her disappointment inside, and she needed to go retrieve it. It's an important facet of her personality, after all! What kind of cynical, wasteland hardened zebra would she be if she could only be satisfied and happy with everything?
<uSeaGM> It is also noticed by AtomBell and Watch_Tower.
* AtomBell isn't inside
* Spectre slooooooowly turns her head to stare at Watch_Tower "Are you calling me butch?"
* Watch_Tower notes the skeleton. "No...I'm saying Milia would knock me off with her hooves of fury...Atom and Art aren't strong...and I am a big pony..."
<uSeaGM> Meanwhile Cerberus had not only found the bones first but had given them a nomming.
<Watch_Tower> "Sides...the boss is suppose to be the strong pony." He cliches.
<Watch_Tower> "So uhh..." Watch looks to the bones while leaning on one of the walls. "What...are the odds that skeleton was in the tree before it fell into the building?"
<Spectre> "What are the odds that I don't care?"
<Spectre> "Dead's dead."
* Milia retrieves the ammo, shoving it in her bags. She does the same thing with her disappointment, waving her hooves about and gathering the abstract concept back into herself. Out of the corner of her eye, she spots the pearly white bone of a second skeleton peeking out from underneath the rotted tree. "Huh..."
* Cerberus "mh, yummy"
* Cerberus checks if thre is some more interesting stuff under the tree
* Watch_Tower takes a seat a bit disappointed by the rotted out mattress.
* Cerberus "hey, i think we can break this tree and see if there's some more noms under it"
* Cerberus tries bucking the rotten trunk
<Milia> "...why would there be a second pony in here, anyhow?"
<Watch_Tower> "Company?"
* Milia chuckles at Cerberus' comment. "You know, that's not a bad idea. May as well!"
<Watch_Tower> "I still think that it was in the tree when the tree fell into the building."
* Cerberus "maybe she was the pony that lootled this place, so we loot the looter.... aybe her name was dawg"
<uSeaGM> Even Cerberus's buck is enough to break chunks of the rotten-through tree.
<uSeaGM> A little more and the timber won't be in your way anymore.
* Milia positions herself alongside Cerberus, preparing to buck the rotted wood. "Well, Watch, I guess we'll find out, won't we!" With a heave, she shoots both her back legs into the side of the tree as hard as she can.
<Watch_Tower> "I guess so...although I think...I'm going to rest here until I'm needed...All the magic is getting to me...gonna rest before I burnout."
<uSeaGM> The fight with the monstrous nightmare tree is immense... worthy of being chronicled in epic songs of yore... no, wait, it's just an old dead tree. It doesn't take long before all that's left is lichen and splinters. A crushed skeleton is revealed. Any clothes it had worn are long gone save for a few meagre scraps that might have once been a cloak. An exotic-looking knife is still held between the skull's teeth and there are shiny co
<uSeaGM> lourful shards from a broken gemstone beneath its neck.
<uSeaGM> With a closer look you can also see a strange, scoped assault rifle inside the crushed ribcage. It's coated with muck and is in dire need of a clean. You also find a spare 5.56mm magazine (besides the one loaded into the gun) but the ammo in this loose mag has rusted solid. It might be worth a couple of caps to the right ponies but its useless as ammunition.
* Watch_Tower has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
* Spectre yoinks the fuck out of the rifle
<Spectre> "Awwww, did the big mean tree hurt you mister rifle? You've probably been stuck there for aaaaages!"
* Cerberus "i think this one was a zebra assassin ant that was a stupid slow pony sentinel"
* Cerberus happy with her analysis, the filly jumps again on milia's back and tries napping some more
* Milia whistles, retrieving the knife and giving it a look over. "Mystery solved! Good work, gang."
* Milia is happy to play Berry-bed.
* Spectre has wandered off and is starting to clean the rifle off to see just how much damage there is
* Milia looks down at the corpse of the zebra one last time before heading back out. "Man...this zebra tried to assassinate the pony in this outpost..."
<Milia> "...by dropping a tree on him...that's so cool..."
* Milia pockets the knife. "...I've got so much to learn about my people." she concludes, before heading out to rejoin her friends.
* Godna ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP
* Godna is now known as Watch_Tower
* uSeaGM gives voice to Watch_Tower
<Watch_Tower> "So...I was probably right about the whole tree thing...so umm...why was this guard being assassinated?"
<Spectre> "Who cares, dead is dead. I said that."
* Cerberus "dropping trees on ponies head is best way for killing ponies, yeah"
* Artifica_ focuses, her horn glowing... and the rifle is Clean!
* Artifica_ smiles to Spectre.
* Milia nods at Cerberus. "I definitely need to try that, one of these days..." she mutters.
* Milia looks to Watch Tower. "...because there was a war going on, I imagine?"
<Watch_Tower> "uhh...just don't get trapped under the tree?"
* Spectre squeaks as the rifle is suddenly cleaned
<Watch_Tower> "Well that would mean that there was something he was guarding right?"
<Spectre> "Gah!"
<Spectre> "Oh. Hey! Ish clean~"
<AtomBell> "It could be a distant outpost for the satellite station...."
* Milia raises an eyebrow. "...Equestrian territory?"
<Watch_Tower> "I dunno...couldn't they just sneak by then?"
* AtomBell shrugs
<AtomBell> "I have no idea."
* Milia shrugs, too. "Ditto."
* AtomBell smiles at Silent.  New weapon!
<Watch_Tower> "Speaking of new weapon...I'd...like to see about getting myself one. Since I can't really attack anything that is close to us..."
<uSeaGM> Two Rainbow Squirts stand outside the doorway. One coughs and begins a now-familiar speech. “Good Afternoon Sir Slash Madame I Am A Rainbow Squirt Would You Like To Buy A Box Of My Delicious Rainbow... hey, haven't I been here before?" The other one points at Watch_Tower. "You helped us with the fire!"
<Spectre> "Pretty, Sexy weapon~"
* Watch_Tower jumps a bit.
<AtomBell> "Aye.  20% as sexy and pretty as you," she whispers.
<AtomBell> "AH!"
* AtomBell leaps
<Watch_Tower> "Yes...yes I did." He say slightly exhausted still. He doesn't mention he probably caused it. "I'm Watch Tower." He smiles.
* Milia nods at Watch Tower. "Not a bad idea, I'd hate to get caught up in-GAH! They're back!"
* Spectre facehoofs again
<uSeaGM> The first Squirt narrows her eyes. "Careful, these are weird ponies. I think they're spies." The second Squirt takes a step back. "Spies?! Oh no, we're not supposed to talk to spies."
* Cerberus pèops her head out from the napping donut position "hey, it's the action fillies again!" berry jump off the zebra couch and trots next to the squirts, sniffing one of them
* Milia rushes up to one of the fillies. "How much for a box of inconceivables?!" she shouts urgently.
* Milia didn't want to admit it, but she HAD to know what they tasted like. She couldn't stop thinking about it.
* AtomBell cowers behind her big strong marefriend
<Watch_Tower> "Why would a spy help put out a fire?"
* Watch_Tower stands up. Wondering if they'd recognize the nightguard guise.
<uSeaGM> "Four bits for a box," the second Squirt says timidly.
* AtomBell peeks over Spectre, "Tagalogs?"
* Milia nods frantically. "Four bits? Sold!" She rummages around in her bag, before something hits her. "Wait..."
* Milia frowns at the filly scout. "...bits? Not caps?"
<uSeaGM> "That's obvious," replies the first Squirt, "obviously the spy started those fires when he was spying and didn't mean to, and obviously the fires would mean he'd be found. Obviously."
<Watch_Tower> "And a spy would stick around to put them out why?"
<Watch_Tower> "Instead of leaving once the sabotage is done?"
* Artifica_ rummages her saddlebags, hoping she has some actual bits.
<uSeaGM> The Squirt goes silent while her own unique brand of logic does its thing. "Obviously because he wanted to put it out before it got seen, duh!"
<Spectre> "Why would there be spies again?"
<Watch_Tower> "Hmm another question is would a spy really stay and talk?"
<Watch_Tower> <ooh nice question>
* Cerberus "hey, i want to be a spy too!"
<Artifica_> <please or please tell me somepony has bits!>
* Milia pouts. "I just want cookies..."
<Milia> <PLEASE>
<uSeaGM> The second Squirt, with a yellow coat, smiles at Milia. "Yes, I'm not allowed to take buttons or caps or shiny foil anymore... so it has to be bits."
<Watch_Tower> <You know...I bet there are at least 4 bits somewhere in this place!>
* Watch_Tower goes to check the rotting Mattress.
* Cerberus offers the squeaky duck to the pony "what about a rubber duck? are you allowed taking rubber ducks?"
* Milia bites her lip. "I...see...um...uh...wh-what about a trade?..."
<Watch_Tower> "Okay that's two!"
* Spectre grumbles
* Watch_Tower checks the pony skeleton...maybe it had a rotted wallet?
* Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Scroll[A]
* Spectre guesses her question gets ignored and goes back to fiddling with her new rifle
<uSeaGM> the first Squirt, a blue filly, looks smug. "There are spies because Equestra is at war, duh! Everypony knows that."
<Spectre> "No it's not."
<Spectre> "Duh."
<Spectre> "War's over kid."
<Watch_Tower> <...I'm surprised she's not calling you a spy Mil>
<Milia> <Because I'm trying to buy cookies, duh!>
* AtomBell kisses Spec again and takes her first look around, determined to get bits
<uSeaGM> "That's exactly what a spy would say!"
<Watch_Tower> "Actually a spy would say something like."
<Watch_Tower> "Joe. Pony Joe. and then use some gadget to escape!"
* AtomBell looks around diligently
* Watch_Tower continues searching as well.
<uSeaGM> The yellow Squirt's eyes light up. "You can do that?"
<Watch_Tower> "I'm no enemy spy, but yeah I've totally got gadgets"
<Watch_Tower> "Wanna see?"
* Watch_Tower changes tactic he's just not a zebra spy.
<Spectre> "Why would I give a fuck about spying on some two century old dead fucktards shitty little outpost of who gives a fuck?"
* Spectre is a terrible role model for fillies
* Spectre or possibly the best. who knows.
<uSeaGM> The blue Squirt nudges her friend and points at Spectre. "Hey, she's cool."
* AtomBell holds up three glittering bits in her hoof, a magical gleam forming behind her, "BITS."
* Watch_Tower looks to AtomBell. "How many I found two!"
* AtomBell mentally affirms that Spec is the best model for fillies!  She's tough, cool, and knows how to handle a mare~
<AtomBell> "Three!  That's enough if stripebutt promises to share!"
* Artifica_ cheers for bits!
<uSeaGM> Meanwhile the yellow Squirt has gotten her own leaflet out in front of Milia. "Good Morning or Afternoon my Striped Sister as a Rainbow Squirt I accept your Strange Ways and Tribal Customs and would like to Be Friends." When she has finished reading, she smiles sincerely.
* Artifica_ cannot help but giggle.
* Watch_Tower passes his bits over to Milia and waits for Atom to do the same. <You totally aren't gonna hold out on us>
* Milia perks up at the sound of bits. "Of course I'll share, geez! I always share!" she grumbles.
* Artifica_ smiles.  "Aren't you two the best little Rainbow Squirts ever!"
<uSeaGM> "We sure are!" cheers the blue Squirt. "These are the first cookies we've sold in forever, the Milkmare is going to be so proud of us!"
* AtomBell hoofs over bits
<Watch_Tower> "Milk...mare?"
* Milia turns back to the filly scout as she starts her spiel. "Oh, uh...I...that's...great? Sure, tiny, I'll be friends." She extends a hoof for a bump and/or shake. "Name's Milia; what's yours?"
<AtomBell> "They certainly are!  Polite, helpful, brave.... and all those other things I've forgotten."
<Watch_Tower> "Resourceful."
<uSeaGM> The yellow Squirt offers a selection to choose from, but Inconceivables seem to be out.
<AtomBell> "Kind?  Cheerful?"
* Milia greedily takes the bits. Upon seeing the selection, the zebra practically deflates. "...and out of inconceivables..."
* AtomBell hisses to Milia, "Tagaloggggggggs."
<uSeaGM> But even as her friend does so, the blue Squirt gapes at Watch_Tower openmouthed. "Who told you about the Milkmare!?"
<Spectre> "You did."
* AtomBell has quit (Quit: Leaving.)
* Artifica_ comforts Milia.
* Milia hoofs over the bits to the yellow filly. "One box of Tagalongs, please..."
* Milia leans into Artifica, pouting.
<uSeaGM> "Lies! Conspiracy! Subterfudge!" ("Don't you mean 'subterfuge'?" her friend offers.)
<Watch_Tower> "okay okay you busted us. We're spies, but we're the good guys."
<Milia> "...Subterfudge cookies sound kinda good, too..."
* Watch_Tower nods. "I'd totally buy some subterfudge cookies."
<uSeaGM> Yellow Squirt hoofs over a box of Tagalongs in exchange for the bits.
<Spectre> "Nope. You said 'The milkmare is going to be so proud of us'."
<Spectre> "You should really watch what you say, kid."
<Watch_Tower> <dang it Spec I was all prepared to pretend to be a cool spy.>
<Spectre> <The fuck are we spying on? this is stupid.>
<Watch_Tower> <Clearly we're on a secret mission to the junkyard.>
* Milia takes the box. "Hey...kid...at least tell me what they taste like? The inconceivables?"
<Spectre> <Besides you don't even have a balaclava.>
<Watch_Tower> <if I weren't tired I'd totally make one>
* Pantzar ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP
<uSeaGM> "I said no such thing!" blue Squirt insists. Yellow Squirt shakes her head at Milia. "No, I couldn't really tell you, but maybe you could try one if you come back with us. Some fresh ones bloomed this morning."
<Milia> "Oh...I se-wait, what?  Bloomed?"
<Spectre> "Yes you did."
* Milia perks right back up. "...you mean like, bloomed...in the oven?"
* Watch_Tower gasps a little to himself and squees. "Lets go with them!"
<Spectre> "Aren't I supposed to be a 'spy'? Spies totally have and ear for picking up unintentionally mentioned pieces of information."
<Spectre> "Or something I don't know. Being a spy is stupid."
<Watch_Tower> "Quiet you" Watch attempts to mustache her.
<uSeaGM> "Ha! I knew it! And you're here trying to spy on the Milkmare!" She claps her hooves together and turns to her friend. "Yellowquiet, I solved the mysterous mystery of mysteriousness...ness."
<Spectre> "You're an idiot."
<Spectre> "I don't give a fuck about the milkmare. This is the first time I've even heard of her."
* Artifica_ nods.  "We'd love to follow you back and try one."
* Milia clops her hooves together, though she's still a bit confused as to how cookies 'bloom'. No matter, though, she might be able to try an inconceivable, after all! "I concur! After all, if we're friends now, we need to break bread as an offering of peace or whatever!"
* Shady_Steps has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
* Shady_Steps_ ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP
* Shady_Steps_ is now known as Shady_Steps
<uSeaGM> Yellowquiet tilts her head. "Bloom like a flower, from the cookie tree. Don't you have cookie trees?"
<Watch_Tower> "cookie tree!"
* Shady_Steps is now known as Pony_52703
* Milia gasps, stunned. "...you have a cookie tree?..."
* Watch_Tower immediately falls in line.
* Pony_52703 has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.90 [Firefox 20.0.1/20130409194949])
* Cerberus tilts her head "i... i'd really like to sniffa cookie tree"
* Shady_Steps ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP
<Watch_Tower> "Let's get going!"
<uSeaGM> "Of course. You know, you plant a bunch of cookies and then they grow into a tree. Maybe we should just show you."
* Artifica_ nods encouragingly.
<Watch_Tower> <Get a couple of each when we visit the tree. We are totally planting Cookie Trees around Rarity's place.>
<uSeaGM> Blue Squirt keeps her eyes on Spectre, "I'm watching you like a hawk..." and promptly walks into the doorframe.
<Watch_Tower> "Why don't you watch her like a pony?"
* Milia nods, determined. "Yes. Yes you should. I guess my...uh...Strange Ways and...Tribal...Customs...don't include burying baked goods. And hey, I'm sure this'll get you a merit badge in...uhhh...foreign relations or something for sure!"
* Cerberus "i like those fillies"
<Spectre> "Watch where you're going first."
* Watch_Tower looks up at his name clearly misinterupting it for humor. "I'm going to the cookie tree obviously."
<uSeaGM> Blue Squirt shakes her head to clear it, insists that no one saw what just happened, and then leads the way out of the shack and down the hillside.
* Milia follows the filly, stifling a laugh at her blunder. "D-didn't...didn't see a *snerk* thing..."
<Watch_Tower> "Nor did I"
* Spectre grins and picks Blue Squirt up with telekinesis and plops her on her back "There. You can watch my like a hawk and not have to worry about walking.
<Watch_Tower> <...uhh....anypony else seeing that?>
<uSeaGM> **End of Session for Group 4**
* Milia 's expression evens out, becoming somewhat contemplative. <...no hoofprints...>
<Milia> ((aw nuts!))
