suipokemon part 3

[15:30] <@SuikoGM> What once was air filled with happy laughter and cries of wonder, now comes terrified screaming, sobbing, and wailing. The delicious smells of the festival food now waft away as the pungent odor of smoke rises from nearby burning buildings.
[15:31] <@SuikoGM> An unknown army has begun, for some inexplicable reason, their assault on this peaceful town.
[15:31] <@SuikoGM> And the four of you, amidst the chaos in the town square, have begun to become embroiled within.
[15:32] <@SuikoGM> The crowd around you that was gathered to watch the dancing troupe's performance is now a chruning mass of panicky, fleeing men and women, crying children, and confused, panicky pokemon.
[15:32] <@SuikoGM> Churning, too!
[15:33] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Katsuo takes a couple seconds to decide on his priorities.
06[15:33] * Lekha_Satyasvapna recalls poor Euphemia into her pokeball and brandishes Zemrude like a water gun.
[15:34] <@SuikoGM> A group of blue-armored mecenaries seem to be heading towards the south of town to put up a token resistance to buy some time.
[15:35] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Then tosses a smokebomb behind the mercs (so that they can better hold their position) and runs over to Lekha and tries to grab her hand.  "We're going.  I asked you for a favor without payment, so I'll pay you by saving your life."
06[15:35] * DamienLunas quickly runs to her troupe. "They're coming in from the south, we have to try to escape to the north as soon as we can!"
03[15:35] * DamienLunas is now known as Somalakshmi
[15:36] <@SuikoGM> The dancing troupe already seems scattered. Soma - you've lost track of Gavin, Luna and the others in this mess. Unbroken Circle is still nearby, however, and he seems to be trying to assess the situation as best as possible.
[15:36] <Somalakshmi> "Circle? Circle, where's Gavin and Luna?"
[15:37] <@SuikoGM> Circle: "I don't see them anywhere. Shultek, everything's happened so fast..."
[15:38] <@SuikoGM> Circle: "Go, escape if you wish. I will stay and look for the others."
01[15:38] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "I know I'm not going to die here, don't worry." Zemrude sprays water all over everything and everyone in range as the human carrying him gets dragged off.
[15:38] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "You..."  He blinks.
01[15:39] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "Now, is there anything you can do to help everyone else here?"
[15:39] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> He pauses, actually thinking.  "I put a smoke wall behind the defensive line to discourage the army from trying to attack behind it."
06[15:39] * Iltani whistles for Merydia and Bernard, as she was trained to do when separated in a crisis.
[15:40] <@SuikoGM> Zemrude breathes in and spews water everywhere, trying to help control the blaze!
[15:40] <Iltani> "While we wait, Mistral, we've got some fires to put out..."
[15:40] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> He pauses and then sends out Strider.  "Help this woman with the fire fightin-"  He pauses.
[15:40] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "You can't stay here, Miss Lekha!"
06[15:40] * Iltani sighs. "Levante, this might be scary, but I need you to keep an ear out for someone who might need help."
01[15:41] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "I know I can't, don't be silly. What we can do is help as we run away, right?"
[15:41] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "..."
[15:41] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "Yes, exactly."
01[15:41] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "You're really a nice kid, but you've got to think on your feet more!"
[15:42] <@SuikoGM> Circle: "What will it be, Soma? Will you run to safety, or will you come with me?"
[15:42] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "I-I'll try harder."  He motions to his Froakie to start helping, and then casts an eye over the surroundings.  "Best escape route..."
[15:42] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "...the rooftops.  You'd be in an excellent spot to put out fires."
[15:43] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "And you wouldn't get trampled by the crowds."
[15:43] <Somalakshmi> "Escape...?"
01[15:43] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "Good idea!"
[15:43] <@SuikoGM> The ninjafrog nods and starts climbing up to a better view. Two frogs now are trying to help contain the fires.
[15:44] <@SuikoGM> Levante nods at Iltani, and scans the area.
06[15:44] * Lekha_Satyasvapna lets go of Zemrude, letting him float off to take care of fires too.
[15:44] <@SuikoGM> Circle stares a moment at Soma, not knowing if that was her decision or a question she was asking herself.
[15:45] <Somalakshmi> "I... I can't run. I won't have anything left if I do."
[15:45] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> He pulls out a grappling hook and tosses it at the nearest rooftop that looks like it's clustered near others, for ease of high travel, and gives a bit of a shout.  "Anyone who doesn't want to go by ground, I've got a rope for the roofs!"  He gives Miss Isaacs a wave over, his mind trying to go over where she'd be most useful.  She's a markswoman, right?
[15:45] <@SuikoGM> Circle: "Good answer. Come."
06[15:45] * Somalakshmi follows Circle closely.
[15:47] <@SuikoGM> The lot of you trying to put out fires are helping the blaze, stemming the fires long enough for people to get out of their homes. The staging area, however, seems to have caught fire.
[15:47] <@SuikoGM> No response from Merydia or Bernard yet, but a deep whistle indicates your commander, Garm, is somewhere nearby and on his way.
06[15:48] * Iltani looks up at the ninja and sighs. Not only was she separated from the Absols, but she had a job to do down here. No running until she'd finished her duties here.
03[15:48] * SomeGuy (~James@Rizon-704AFCB3.bstnma.fios.verizon.net) has joined #SuikoPokemonIC
[15:48] <Iltani> Instead, she draws her revolvers, wheeling them into an aimed position, and keep an eye out for citizen in need of help.
06[15:49] * KatsuoOfTsukinoshi gets another thought, and then tosses a layer of SPIKES and TOXIC SPIKES under the smokescreen, and yells for the militia. "I've put down a layer of caltrops behind you to make sure they don't get past, watch your step!"
[15:49] <@SuikoGM> It looks like few citizens are good climbers and fewer still are willing to risk rooftops during the fires, but a few do scrabble up your rope and stumble across a row of houses, Katsuo.
[15:50] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> It was worth a shot.  He was doing it more for him and Lekha, but while Lekha's here, might as well let people who can take advantage of it.
[15:50] <@SuikoGM> Unbroken Circle is heading around to the backstage of the stage, to look for the dancers - and it's at this point where you all here a scream from a rather familiar sounding kid's voice.
06[15:50] * Somalakshmi looks up at the rope. "Circle... maybe we could see them if we got to higher ground."
[15:50] <Somalakshmi> (Scratch that)
[15:51] <@SuikoGM> Anyone on rooftops can probably work their way around to see.
[15:52] <@SuikoGM> Katsuo's caltrops... a pretty decent idea to keep the invaders at bay for a short time.
06[15:52] * Lekha_Satyasvapna does!
[15:53] <@SuikoGM> Lekha - as you scrabble around the rooftops, you see Aston, the boy from the talent show, standing next to one of the side exits of the staging area, screaming and crying. He's holding a bucket, but it appears to be full of tools.
[15:53] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Down to one set of caltrops, toxic caltrops, and smokescreens.  Hopefully the militiamen will use this information to retreat through side alleyways rather than directly back.
[15:53] <Somalakshmi> (Is this backstage?)
[15:53] <@SuikoGM> The exit seems to be blocked with burning wood that collapsed in his way.
[15:53] <@SuikoGM> This is outside of the backstage area.
[15:54] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Katsuo hasn't climbed up yet, although he's approaching the rope after Lekha now
[15:55] <@SuikoGM> Soma and Circle can hear the kid's cries from here as well. Parts of the staging area are engulfed in an inferno, and you two can also hear some kind of squealing noise backstage.
06[15:57] * Lekha_Satyasvapna immediately hurries back down again to go rescue shuckle boy.
[15:57] <@SuikoGM> Iltani - Yes, you too, can hear the screaming kid.
[15:57] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Katsuo blinks as Lekha passes him by, and immediately goes after her to follow so she doesn't do anything dumb.
[15:57] <Somalakshmi> "What's that sound?"
[15:57] <@SuikoGM> Lekha, Katsuo, with your rooftop advantage, at least, you're able to bypass the fleeing crowds to make your way to Aston. He's crying in front of the collapsed staging area.
[15:58] <@SuikoGM> Circle: "Some child. Perhaps separated from his parents?"
[15:58] <@SuikoGM> Circle: "Or do you mean...? No, I'm unsure."
[15:58] <Somalakshmi> "Is that... maybe a pokemon?"
[15:59] <@SuikoGM> Circle: "It seems likely."
06[15:59] * Iltani curses, and follows the sound of screaming, motioning both of her Pokemon to follow. She whistles again to update Garm on her position.
[15:59] <@SuikoGM> Aston turns and looks at Lekha and Katsuo approaching. Iltani can make her way there pretty shortly as well.
01[15:59] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "Heeey! This way!"
[16:00] <@SuikoGM> Aston: "G-gizmo.... Gizmo! He's still inside... I-I went back to get his toolkit I left inside, but then... then all the fire... I thought I grabbed Gizmo, but..."
[16:00] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Crying kid?  Well, all rght.  He uproots his grappling hook on the way, sets it in place near where the kid is, and slides on down.  "I'll get him, you get up!"
06[16:00] * Somalakshmi tries to get backstage to see what it is!
[16:00] <@SuikoGM> Soma and Circle make their way backstage from a different route. Aston seems hesitant but obeys Katsuo after a bit and scrambles out of the streets.
[16:01] <@SuikoGM> Soma - backstage, among panicked dancers trying to find their way back out, you also spy the source of the wailing noise. That strange mechanical shuckle from the talent show, sitting on a table that's caught fire. The fire is slowly spreading up.
[16:02] <@SuikoGM> Everyone else: You'll have to put out the fire on this side to make your way in.
[16:02] <Iltani> "We'll have to clear a path to get in."
[16:02] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "Strider, put it out!"
[16:02] <Iltani> "Follow suit, Mistral! We need to clear a path."
[16:02] <Somalakshmi> "I think... I might be able to get it. Payasam!"
[16:02] <@SuikoGM> Strider: "Ribbit!"
06[16:02] * Somalakshmi calls out her pink Silkinder!
[16:03] <@SuikoGM> Mistral looks a bit starry-eyed at Strider a moment, but helps out, the two firing fountains of water!
[16:03] <@SuikoGM> The wood is put out in short time, clearing your path.
[16:03] <@SuikoGM> Payasam appears with a flourish, and looks around, gauging the situation.
06[16:04] * Iltani will have teasing comments on this later - for now, saving lives was priority zero here.
[16:04] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Katsuo doesn't even hesitate to barrel through the charred wood (Power 5, or I'll roll Athletics if you want me to) to get in
06[16:04] * Somalakshmi quickly puts her arms around Payasam to steady her. "Do you see that shuckle past the fire? I want you to throw it a rope so we can pull it over."
06[16:04] * Iltani provides backup on the way in, ensuring a clear path remained while keeping an eye and ear out for anyone else still trapped within the structure.
06[16:05] * Lekha_Satyasvapna supervises :V
[16:06] <@SuikoGM> Payasam is a bit nervous of the fire, but nods and grabs a rope from the stage supplies, and quickly floats around, giving one end to the terrified mecha-shuckle.
[16:06] <@SuikoGM> Lekha, Iltani, Katsuo, you all walk in to find the dancer from before and a lizardman trying to rescue Gizmo from the midst of a blaze.
[16:07] <Iltani> ".....they might have this taken care of if there's no one else here."
[16:07] <Iltani> "Keep the path open. Split up to see if we can't find anyone else. Whistle if you need me."
[16:07] <Somalakshmi> (I meant using the threaded capability)
[16:07] <@SuikoGM> Though... this plan seems like it might not work out if Soma is just pulling Gizmo THROUGH the fire.
[16:07] <@SuikoGM> Ohh, I see what you mean.
[16:07] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "Strider, clear a path, if you can!"
06[16:08] * Lekha_Satyasvapna directs Zemrude to start spraying everything down again.
[16:08] <Iltani> "I, or one of the Absols, should reply with the same."
[16:08] <Iltani> "She's pulling the Shuckle though, Mistral. Make sure the blaze is controlled."
06[16:08] * Iltani takes her leave, confident that this particular situation was at least handled, ready to move on.
[16:08] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "Controlling might be better, don't exhause yourself, Strider."
[16:09] <@SuikoGM> Payasam threads over to the shuckle, who latches on to the silk. The frogs and burble control the fires so that the bug pulls the other bug out safely!
[16:09] <@SuikoGM> Unbroken Circle looks at the other group that's come in.
[16:09] <@SuikoGM> Gizmo squeals in relief as he's pulled out.
[16:10] <@SuikoGM> Circle: "...Are you looking for this one?" he indicates the shuckle.
[16:10] <@SuikoGM> Unbroken Circle is a DORAK, a rather large lizardman with colorful scales.
[16:10] <@SuikoGM> If you needed that description.
06[16:11] * Iltani clicks her tongue twice to call Mistral back over as soon as Gizmo has been saely rescued.
[16:11] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "Yeah!  There's a kid we've evacuated to the rooftops who wanted him."  Katsuo thinks the talking lizard is WEIRD, but isn't going to question it right now.  No time!
[16:12] <@SuikoGM> Circle: "Then he is safely returned. We have been separated from our own friends, as well. If you aren't leaving immediately, would you mind...?" he lets the question hang.
[16:12] <Iltani> "Who are we looking for, then?" she asks the Dorak.
[16:12] <@SuikoGM> The dancers back here are making their way out front safely, now.
[16:12] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "...I guess I can help."  Lekha isn't going to ignore them, so he shouldn't either.
[16:13] <@SuikoGM> Circle: "Their names are Gavin and Luna. Both human, male with dark hair in a colorful outfit, and female, blue hair. They were performing with us on stage before."
[16:13] <Iltani> "...I think I remember them. And they were last seen on stage?"
[16:13] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "I'll keep an eye out."
[16:14] <@SuikoGM> Circle: "Yes, but thankfully they don't seem to have come back here. Let us leave before the rest of this comes down around our ears."
[16:14] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "I've secured a route to the rooftops, that should be a better vantage point."  He motions for the others to follow, and heads back to Lekha and the rope
[16:15] <@SuikoGM> Circle nods and goes along, gesturing for Soma too. He takes Gizmo for now.
[16:15] <Iltani> "You two, on me," Iltani says to her Pokemon. "We're going up."
[16:15] <@SuikoGM> Perceptions, as you guys go onto the roofs.
[16:16] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> 2d6
[16:16] <PsychoRoll> KatsuoOfTsukinoshi, 2d6: 8 [2d6=6,2]
01[16:16] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> 4d6
[16:16] <PsychoRoll> Lekha_Satyasvapna, 4d6: 17 [4d6=6,5,4,2]
[16:17] <Iltani> 3d6
[16:17] <PsychoRoll> Iltani, 3d6: 13 [3d6=3,5,5]
[16:18] <Somalakshmi> 2d6
[16:18] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, 2d6: 3 [2d6=2,1]
[16:21] <@SuikoGM> From this vantage point, Lekha and Iltani spot two people that match Unbroken Circle's description, backed into a corner by soldiers. ...Damn, have they already made is this far? The soldiers are wearing the black and gold trim of Davadezi, and one of them is proudly carrying a standard depicting the seven crests of the nation.
[16:21] <@SuikoGM> General Education and Intuition
[16:22] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Just for the two who made teh previous?
[16:22] <Iltani> 3d6 Gen Edu
[16:22] <PsychoRoll> Iltani, Gen Edu: 13 [3d6=3,6,4]
01[16:22] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> 2d6;4d6 gen edu/intuition
[16:22] <PsychoRoll> Lekha_Satyasvapna, 2d6: 11 [2d6=5,6]; gen edu/intuition: 15 [4d6=3,2,6,4]
[16:22] <@SuikoGM> For everyone, once the group's been spotted.
06[16:23] * Iltani gets ready to leap back down to take care of these new soldiers. Dammit, where was Garm in this mess?
[16:23] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> 1d6 Gen Edu; 2d6 Intuition
[16:23] <PsychoRoll> KatsuoOfTsukinoshi, Gen Edu: 5 [1d6=5]; Intuition: 4 [2d6=3,1]
[16:26] <@SuikoGM> Lekha - you recognize the colors and standards of your homeland, but something seems... off.  The individual provinces never send off their personal armies on campaigns, because their standing forces are way too small. If they were to actually attack something, they'd usually hire mercenaries, and wouldn't give them the nation's heraldry to fly. Plus, each province has their own crest
[16:26] <@SuikoGM> anyway - the banner they're flying is for the nation as a whole, and they have no united army. Something is screwy, here.
[16:26] <Somalakshmi> 2d6 genedu; 3d6intuition?
[16:26] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, genedu: 7 [2d6=4,3]; 3d6intuition?: 11 [3d6=5,3,3]
[16:27] <@SuikoGM> Iltani - you actually spot Garm trying to make his way through a crowd of people heading the opposite direction. He's trying to reach you but it may take time.
[16:28] <@SuikoGM> Soma - you don't know the particulars, but while you recognize the Davadezi standards... you also recall that Davadezi outsources its military, like it did with Saranga. This seems... different. More so, they seem to be actively advertising the fact that they seem Davadezian.
02[16:28] * SomeGuy (~James@Rizon-704AFCB3.bstnma.fios.verizon.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[16:29] <@SuikoGM> And why the hell would Davadezi launch an attack here of all places, anyway?
[16:29] <@SuikoGM> Both you and Lekha have a bad feeling about this.
03[16:30] * DamienLunas (~DamienLun@Rizon-37D08C10.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined #SuikoPokemonIC
[16:30] <@SuikoGM> Iltani - you also recognize that Davadezi doesn't send out its standing armies.
[16:30] <Iltani> A look of heavy realization dawns on the retrieval specialist's face.
[16:31] <Iltani> "....this is a false flag operation."
[16:31] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "A...hm."
[16:31] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "Shouldn't we get to helping them, if we are going to?"
01[16:32] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "I don't know what that means, but someone's trying pretty hard to make it look like Davadezi is attacking."
01[16:32] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "In the dumbest way, though."
[16:32] <Iltani> "Exactly what that means."
01[16:32] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "...I guess they don't need to try hard to fool people, though."
06[16:32] * Iltani is already getting off the roof to make her way towards the fray.
[16:32] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "...I see.  To frame someone else for something..."
02[16:32] * Somalakshmi (~DamienLun@Rizon-37D08C10.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
03[16:32] * DamienLunas is now known as Somalakshmi
[16:32] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Soon as he sees Iltani moving, he internally goes FINALLY and runs with er
[16:35] <@SuikoGM> 2d6+2
[16:35] <PsychoRoll> SuikoGM, 2d6+2: 7 [2d6=3,2]
[16:35] <@SuikoGM> As you leave the rooftops and approach the soldiers, one of them turns and lifts the visor on his helmet, grinning. "Hey, look, another batch of rebels. And they're practically hurling themselves at us. Whattya say we oblige'em, boys?"
[16:35] <@SuikoGM> As the group of soldiers takes their attention off the dancers, Gavin and Luna wave at Circle and Soma and slip out, running north.

03[16:39] * Haruna_Seimei is now known as Lekha_Satyasvapna
[16:39] <@SuikoGM> <@SuikoGM> The soldiers throw out a series of pokeballs in the meantime, though, letting out some ferocious looking creatures...
[16:39] <@SuikoGM> <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Doesn't seem like Edge would be a good idea to use against the soldiers who are torching everything, so Katsuo keeps Strider out!
[16:42] <@SuikoGM> It looks like the soldiers are somewhat injured. Looks like they met the business end of those caltrops.
[16:50] <@SuikoGM> Battle Start!
[16:51] <@SuikoGM> http://www.infinitelooper.com/?v=4yBFJbn2L0k&p=n
[16:51] <@SuikoGM> Katsuo!
[16:52] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Katsuo moves into position and... "Try moving through this!"  Toxic Caltrops
[16:52] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> He tosses 8 square feet of Toxic Caltrops in front of most of the enemies!
[16:53] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Out of Toxic Caltrops, he'll have to make more later!
[16:53] <@SuikoGM> Soma!
[16:53] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> That's my turn.
06[16:55] * Somalakshmi tries to go around the side and use disarming voice!
[16:55] <Somalakshmi> (do I roll here or in roll20?)
[16:56] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> (Probably best to roll here for consistency in everything)
[16:56] <@SuikoGM> In here.
[16:56] <Somalakshmi> 1d20 just one accuracy roll for both, right?
[16:56] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, just one accuracy roll for both, right?: 10 [1d20=10]
[16:56] <@SuikoGM> That hits!
[16:56] <Somalakshmi> 1d8+6 damage
[16:56] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, damage: 8 [1d8=2]
[16:57] <Somalakshmi> and fairy type
[16:57] <@SuikoGM> You forgot special attack.
[16:57] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> don't forget to add your ^
[16:57] <Somalakshmi> right duh
[16:57] <Somalakshmi> +10
[16:57] <@SuikoGM> The screaming voice tears into the soldier and the deino!
[16:57] <@SuikoGM> Lekha!
[16:58] <Somalakshmi> (wait hold up. Can I activate Fey Law to bind normal attacks on the guard?)
[16:59] <@SuikoGM> Sure thing!
01[16:59] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> Lekha throws up a protective barrier against the soldiers! Reflect!
[16:59] <Somalakshmi> (He'll take -2 to accuracy checks on that then.)
[17:00] <@SuikoGM> That it, Lekha?
03[17:00] * SuikoGM changes topic to 'Allied Reflect: 2'
01[17:01] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> yep!
[17:02] <@SuikoGM> Strider!
[17:02] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Strider moves up a square, next to his owner, and pulls out and tosses a bunch of Toxic Caltrops from his bubblebag! Toxic Spikes!  He reinforces all the squares that Katsuo dumped spikes on, making them inflict Badly Poisoned instead of Poisoned
[17:02] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> End turn.
[17:02] <@SuikoGM> Iltani!
06[17:03] * Iltani levels her aim at one of the Deino just past the caltrops, and fires off one shot.
[17:04] <Iltani> 1d20+2 Bullseye at the Deino by Strider

[17:24] <@SuikoGM> The Deino goes after poor Payasam and gets punished for it! ...In a manner of DL's choosing.
[17:24] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> (that's part of the damage base)

[18:15] <@SuikoGM> He's not very dodgy.
01[18:15] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> oh!
01[18:16] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> 2d6+8+11+5
[18:16] <PsychoRoll> Lekha_Satyasvapna, 2d6+8+11+5: 31 [2d6=1,6]
[18:17] <@SuikoGM> DOWN HE GOES
[18:17] <@SuikoGM> TO THE POWER OF BURBLES
[18:17] <@SuikoGM> Turn 4
[18:17] <@SuikoGM> Two sleeping soldiers...
[18:17] <@SuikoGM> Katsuo
[18:17] <@SuikoGM> What do?
[18:17] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> He thinks a bit.  "Shouldn't we go?"
01[18:18] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "Could tie 'em up for questioning, like."
[18:18] <Somalakshmi> "If we let them live they'll kill more innocents."
[18:18] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "...I'll tie them up.  I want answers."
[18:18] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Katsuo looks for ropes in the square and sets about tying up the sleeping soldiers!
01[18:18] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "I'll search 'em!"
[18:18] <@SuikoGM> You quickly start tying up the soldiers...
01[18:18] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> 1d20 pickup :>
[18:18] <PsychoRoll> Lekha_Satyasvapna, pickup :>: 8 [1d20=8]
[18:19] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> (noice fluff)
[18:19] <Somalakshmi> (isn't it still the same day?)
[18:19] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> (although ^)
01[18:19] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> (oh :c)
01[18:19] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> (wait, no it isn't - the only time I picked up was when I was on the road)
[18:19] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> (you found some berries by one ofthe tents, remember?)
01[18:19] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> (oh woops)
[18:19] <@SuikoGM> You loot the dudes as well, relieving them of some snacks, and a few other items of interest.
01[18:19] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> (SORRY KAIN)
[18:20] <@SuikoGM> Which I'll get around to, but first...
06[18:20] * Lekha_Satyasvapna totally steals some dude's lunch though.
01[18:21] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> she also uses the Water Rune to patch Zemrude's owies!
01[18:21] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> 3d6 using as a first aid kit
[18:21] <PsychoRoll> Lekha_Satyasvapna, using as a first aid kit: 8 [3d6=1,4,3]
06[18:21] * Somalakshmi pulls out a skin of sweeet healthy juice to refresh herself.
06[18:22] * KatsuoOfTsukinoshi gives himself and Strider a bottle of water, to quench their thirsts. +20 HP each.
[18:22] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Which puts Strider to full and Katsuo to 54/59
06[18:23] * Somalakshmi regains 30 hp, putting her at 57/65 with one injury putting her max hp at 59
06[18:23] * KatsuoOfTsukinoshi and Strider sit together with their bottles. "Bottoms up." They simultaneously chug them, then let out a breath of relief in unison after.
01[18:24] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "Hey, that's pretty cute."
01[18:24] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "Shoulda tried that in the talent show."
06[18:25] * Somalakshmi looks around. "Circle?"
[18:25] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "Huh?"  He's confused.  Strider gives a little chuckle.
[18:25] <@SuikoGM> From one of the nearby streets, comes running a large, muscly man with dark hair and a beard. Iltani recognizes him immediately as Garm, the leader of her unit.
01[18:25] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> Zemrude, meanwhile, attempts to put one of the toxic caltrops in his mouth.
[18:25] <@SuikoGM> Unbroken Circle rejoins you all shortly as well with the boy, Aston. "I am here. We were set upon when we tried to join you."
[18:26] <@SuikoGM> Aston: "That wadn't no problem!"
[18:26] <Somalakshmi> "I'm glad to see you're okay. I hope Sumeru's alright too."
[18:26] <Iltani> "....sir."
[18:26] <@SuikoGM> Circle: "Did Gavin and Luna manage to escape?" he looks around, scanning for bodies. "...It seems they did."
[18:27] <Somalakshmi> "They headed north. We should try to head after them."
[18:27] <@SuikoGM> Garm: "Isaacs!"
[18:28] <@SuikoGM> Garm: "How are you faring over here?" he looks over the battle with some concern. "....we've had run-ins all over. The Sharpedos can't hold the line for long."
[18:28] <@SuikoGM> Circle nods. "We should." he agrees.
06[18:28] * Somalakshmi suddenly runs over when she overhears what Garm just said. "The Sharpedos?"
[18:29] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Katsuo's eyes move over to Lekha.  "We helping them as well?"
01[18:29] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "Sure."
[18:30] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "...so it goes."  He tosses his empty water bottle in a trash bin, Strider following suit.
06[18:30] * Lekha_Satyasvapna trails after him, and Zemrude abandons the caltrop and floats after her.
[18:31] <Iltani> "...where are Merydia and Bernard?"
[18:32] <@SuikoGM> Garm: "They're fine, Isaacs. They've paired up and begun evacuating people towards Oakbridge. And yes, the Sharpedos. They're buying time for the rest of us to evacuate the civillians. I spoke with their leader, Tarron, just after the attack started.The plan is to get everyone to Oakbridge, through Oakloam Vale. If this rain continues, the vale will flood and close the path behind us.
[18:32] <@SuikoGM> But we'll need to be swift."
01[18:32] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "Right, what should we do?"
[18:32] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> He cracks his knuckles.  "Swift's my way."
[18:33] <@SuikoGM> "We're still looking for the mayor, McGraw, but the Sharpedos are about to retreat. They-"
[18:33] <@SuikoGM> There's a laugh from one of the rooftops.
[18:34] <@SuikoGM> Looking up, against the rain, your group can see two shapes on one of the nearby rooftops, one male and one female.
[18:35] <@SuikoGM> They both hop down to street level. The male is dressed in black clothes and armor, with a mask covering his face, and an enormous katana. The mayor, McGraw, is unconscious, over his shoulder, and bleeding.
[18:35] <@SuikoGM> http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=708005
[18:36] <@SuikoGM> The female is a markswoman in black clothing, revealing nothing except two red eyes. She's wielding a single firearm.
[18:36] <@SuikoGM> http://i.imgur.com/4QIqFM0.png
06[18:37] * Iltani pulls back the hammer of one of her revolvers and takes aim at the man. "Bring him down her or I will -make- you come down."
[18:37] <Somalakshmi> (I think they did.)
[18:37] <@SuikoGM> The male speaks up. "Looking for this guy? Why bother? He's a dead man, anyway." With a chuckle, he dumps the groaning McGraw onto the ground.
[18:37] <@SuikoGM> The woman remains silent, though her eyes are trained on Iltani.
[18:37] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Katsuo's hand goes toward his blade's handle.  "He yet draws breath."
[18:38] <@SuikoGM> The man continues speaking. "I couldn't help but notice, however... that you've tied up some of our 'friends'."
[18:38] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "If you intend to kill him, making such a show of it is disgraceful."
[18:38] <@SuikoGM> "That won't do. That just won't do at all."
[18:39] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "If you're proposing a trade, I'm listening.  If not..."  His eyes narrow.
[18:39] <@SuikoGM> He snickers. "The boy playing shinobi thinks it's disgraceful? But, boy, making a show out of it is exactly what-" He's jabbed in the ribs by the woman.
[18:39] <@SuikoGM> "A trade? No, no. I think you misunderstand."
[18:39] <@SuikoGM> "This is a gamble, boy. Winner takes all."
[18:39] <@SuikoGM> He unsheathes his katana.
01[18:39] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "You'd think they'd learn not to mess with you, huh Katsuo?"
[18:40] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "I'm not fond of games of chance, but I think these odds are fair."
[18:40] <@SuikoGM> Garm: "...Be careful. They could kill the mayor at any point they please."
06[18:40] * Iltani wonders whether or not she's more or less chopped liver in this exchange and display of force, but steels herself nonetheless.
06[18:41] * Somalakshmi glances over to her Dorak companion. "Circle, take that child and meet up with the troupe in the north."
[18:41] <@SuikoGM> Man: "That's just because you don't know who you're playing against. I am Masaru no Kiba. And I will delight in seeing a whelp from a different clan fall under my blade."
[18:41] <@SuikoGM> The Dorak nods and starts hurrying Aston away.
[18:42] <@SuikoGM> General Edu, Katsuo.
[18:42] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> 1d6
[18:42] <PsychoRoll> KatsuoOfTsukinoshi, 1d6: 3 [1d6=3]
[18:42] <@SuikoGM> ...despite not being worldly, you think you've heard of this guy.
[18:43] <@SuikoGM> He's a nukenin, a rogue ninja, once from the clan of Kiba. Apparently the guy's a stone cold murderer and considered a dangerous criminal.
01[18:44] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> (that'd make him kiba no masaru unless names work differently in suikoland :3c)
[18:44] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "Ah, I see.  If I, Katsuo no Tsukino can put down such a disgrace to his clan...then all the better."
[18:44] <@SuikoGM> "Katsuo, you said?" he glances at Lekha. "...Amusing. So our names mean the same thing. Interesting indeed..."
01[18:44] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "Huh?"
06[18:44] * Lekha_Satyasvapna looks behidn her.
[18:44] <@SuikoGM> He glanced at Lekha because she said Katsuo's name first :V
01[18:44] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> (I know)
[18:45] <@SuikoGM> "In any case..."
[18:46] <@SuikoGM> "Let's get this party started."
[18:46] <@SuikoGM> Boss Battle
[18:47] <Somalakshmi> "All of you... this is just another act of deception to bring war to this peaceful country, isn't it?"
[18:47] <@SuikoGM> Masaru snickers.
01[18:47] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "Seems more like they're trying to bring war to Davadezi to me."
[18:47] <@SuikoGM> http://www.infinitelooper.com/?v=fpTkf5GH03Y&p=n
[18:47] <@SuikoGM> Masaru no Kiba and Killjoy
[18:48] <@SuikoGM> Masaru!
[18:49] <@SuikoGM> He LEAPS over the debris in front of him, leaving the mayor's body behind, and slashes at Katsuo!

[18:50] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Just short of giving me an injury!
[18:52] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Katsuo isn't wasting any time.  "Osu!" He goes stright for a break in Masaru's armor!  Not really a good time to set up something fancy when the enemy's breathing down your neck!

[18:53] <@SuikoGM> Soma!

[18:54] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> I disengage to go back ONE STEP
[18:54] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> carry on, Soma
[18:54] <Somalakshmi> "It's the same as back then... you cowards are trying to spreading lies to justify another war."
06[18:55] * Somalakshmi glares straight at Masaru. "I won't let history repeat."
[18:55] <@SuikoGM> "We really are going to have to kill them, aren't we, Killjoy?"
[18:55] <Iltani> "You first."
06[18:55] * Somalakshmi touches her hand to her chest, and a pink rune glows brightly!
[18:56] <Somalakshmi> "Parivartana."
06[18:57] * Somalakshmi starts to undergo a magical transformation! Her tanned skin suddenly turns to a dark hide, her clothes vanish as her body becomes something inhuman, almost demonic looking! Her eyes turn red, and her teeth sharpen into fangs!
[18:57] <Somalakshmi> Enchanting Transformation!
01[18:58] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "Wh-"
[18:58] <@SuikoGM> "...Oh?"
[18:58] <@SuikoGM> Masaru glances at Soma.
[18:58] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Katsuo's got his eyes locked on Masaru, so he doesn't notice
[18:59] <@SuikoGM> "Ahahaha. Interesting... interesting..."
06[18:59] * Somalakshmi glares at him with her slit-like red eyes... silently, she activates the capture runes on her body, switching out Payasam for Sevai!
[19:01] <Somalakshmi> (And turn done)
[19:01] <@SuikoGM> Lekha!
06[19:02] * Lekha_Satyasvapna calls up a Light Screen to go with the Reflect she dropped earlier!
[19:03] <@SuikoGM> Strider!
[19:04] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Strider moves to the right of Masaru and gives him a nice Lick!

[19:05] <@SuikoGM> Killjoy!
[19:05] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> :3
[19:05] <@SuikoGM> She silently loads her revolver, seeming to do nothing.
[19:06] <@SuikoGM> But she stares down Iltani with a look that could shatter glass.
[19:06] <@SuikoGM> 1d20+1 Leer
[19:06] <PsychoRoll> SuikoGM, Leer: 5 [1d20=4]

[19:07] <@SuikoGM> Iltani!

[19:08] <PsychoRoll> Iltani, damage: 62 [6d6=2,4,4,2,6,5]
[19:08] <@SuikoGM> Masaru's eyes widen and he forms a sign with his left hand. "Kawarimi no jutsu!"
[19:09] <Iltani> With two flicks of her wrists, the empty shells clatter onto the floor, and are quickly reloaded with speedloaders hanging from her wrists.
[19:09] <@SuikoGM> The bullets tear into his body, sending him flying, but he vanishes in a puff of smoke as a log clatters against the ground.
[19:09] <@SuikoGM> He reappears nearby, but still injured.
[19:09] <@SuikoGM> Bleeding from one bullet that he didn't manage to avoid.
01[19:09] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "....Can you do that, Katsuo?"
[19:09] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "...sort of."
[19:09] <Iltani> "Not so fast!"

[19:13] <@SuikoGM> He rips into Katsuo and then snatches his scarf.
[19:13] <@SuikoGM> "...what, your mommy make this for you?"
[19:14] <@SuikoGM> Sevai!
[19:14] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Katsuo's face flushes red with fury.
[19:15] <Somalakshmi> Sevai stomps the ground, causing a rolling wave of earth to rush through the ground and attack Masaru's feet!

[19:17] <@SuikoGM> Killjoy finishes loading her revolver, then stares at Iltani again. A wave of horror creeps across the battlefield, palpable in the air by everyone.
[19:17] <@SuikoGM> 1d20+1 Torment
[19:17] <PsychoRoll> SuikoGM, Torment: 10 [1d20=9]
[19:18] <@SuikoGM> Iltani, as your eyes meet hers, your mind is briefly ravaged by a past memory.
[19:19] <@SuikoGM> Iltani is Suppressed! Powerful Motivator! Iltani takes a -10 to damage rolls against Masaru for one full round.
[19:20] <@SuikoGM> And then Killjoy fires three bullets up into the air, a Lightning Rune activating as she does, electricity sparking from her hand and following the trail of shots, before exploding into an enormous column of electricity that crashes down.

[19:22] <@SuikoGM> ...Though FUCK, he's just about one shot.
[19:22] <Iltani> "GARM!"
[19:23] <@SuikoGM> He drops to one knee and grunts. "Get the idiot out of the way and take McGraw out of here. The gunner is playing for keeps."
[19:24] <Iltani> "I'm -not- leaving you here."
[19:24] <@SuikoGM> He sighs, but nods. "Fine, but don't get yourself killed either."
[19:24] <@SuikoGM> Zemrude!

[19:29] <@SuikoGM> "You little shits..."
[19:30] <@SuikoGM> "Your friend over there isn't the only one with a transformation rune. I'll end you with the techniques of the Kiba clan..."
[19:30] <@SuikoGM> A shot rings out, whizzing past Masaru's head. ...From Killjoy's gun.
[19:30] <@SuikoGM> The woman speaks, but briefly. "I suggest you back out, instead."
[19:30] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "You mean to tell me he didn't realize he was losing?" He smirks.
[19:31] <@SuikoGM> He grunts and Disengages from Katsuo, before dropping a smokebomb.
01[19:31] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "Please don't taunt the man who can turn into a monster."
01[19:31] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "It's really unwise, you know? Unlucky."
[19:31] <@SuikoGM> ...He has to step on the toxic spikes to avoid Sevai though.
[19:31] <@SuikoGM> So you hear him curse as he begins to make his getaway.
[19:32] <@SuikoGM> Soma!
06[19:37] * Somalakshmi leaps over the crates, using her clawed hands to bound over them like a feral creature as she gives chase to Masaru, letting out a powerful screech!
[19:37] <Somalakshmi> 1d20 can't miss
[19:37] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, can't miss: 7 [1d20=7]
[19:37] <Somalakshmi> 1d8+6+10
[19:37] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, 1d8+6+10: 21 [1d8=5]
[19:38] <@SuikoGM> Masaru looks over his shoulder in confused alarm just as you slash out...
[19:38] <@SuikoGM> SCRATCH.
[19:38] <@SuikoGM> You leave a series of deep gashes across his face.
[19:38] <@SuikoGM> Masaru will remember that.
[19:38] <@SuikoGM> "Agh!"
[19:39] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> (10/10)
[19:39] <@SuikoGM> "Little bitch... Just as nasty as the other..."
03[19:40] * SuikoGM changes topic to 'Allied Reflect: 1 Light Screen: 2 Weather: Rainy'
[19:40] <@SuikoGM> Lekha!
06[19:41] * Lekha_Satyasvapna clambers over the Meat Table, and applies KINDNESS DROPS to Katsuo!
01[19:41] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> 3d6
[19:41] <PsychoRoll> Lekha_Satyasvapna, 3d6: 17 [3d6=6,5,6]

[19:41] <@SuikoGM> nom nom HP
06[19:42] * Somalakshmi growls out "Other...?"
[19:43] <@SuikoGM> He doesn't answer!
[19:43] <@SuikoGM> Strider!
[19:43] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "Thanks Lekha.  Go get Masa-" Strider shakes his head runs on up to Killjoy, and lets out a croak before spraying all about him with popping bubbles.  Bubble.  "...fine."
[19:43] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> 1d20
[19:44] <PsychoRoll> KatsuoOfTsukinoshi, 1d20: 13 [1d20=13]
[19:44] <@SuikoGM> Hit!
[19:44] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> 2d6+8+4+5 weather bonus!
[19:44] <PsychoRoll> KatsuoOfTsukinoshi, weather bonus!: 20 [2d6=2,1]
[19:45] <@SuikoGM> The bubbles crash into her, annoying her slightly!
[19:46] <@SuikoGM> She looks down at the little frog, and deciding him to be an annoyance, casts another spell from her Lightning Rune.
[19:46] <@SuikoGM> 1d20 Angry Blow
[19:46] <PsychoRoll> SuikoGM, Angry Blow: 9 [1d20=9]
[19:46] <@SuikoGM> 2d6+8+20
[19:46] <PsychoRoll> SuikoGM, 2d6+8+20: 32 [2d6=2,2]
[19:46] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> He activates a Light Screen!
[19:46] <@SuikoGM> A blast of electric power courses into the frog!
[19:46] <@SuikoGM> Iltani!
06[19:47] * Iltani maneuvers into position, snapping off two shots at Killjoy!
[19:47] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> and it STILL does massive damage, wow
[19:47] <Iltani> 2#1d20-2 Struggles
[19:47] <PsychoRoll> Iltani, Struggles: 11 [1d20=13], 7 [1d20=9]
[19:47] <@SuikoGM> Both hit!
[19:48] <Iltani> 2#1d8+8+15 damage
[19:48] <PsychoRoll> Iltani, damage: 28 [1d8=5], 24 [1d8=1]
[19:48] <Iltani> Mistral goes into sneaky-sneak mode, prepared for if Killjoy does anything tricky.
[19:48] <Iltani> 3d6+2 Stealth
[19:48] <PsychoRoll> Iltani, Stealth: 14 [3d6=5,1,6]
[19:49] <@SuikoGM> Masaru!
[19:49] <@SuikoGM> uses Splash to leap away.
[19:49] <@SuikoGM> ...After disengaging.
[19:49] <@SuikoGM> aaand off he goes, bounding across the rooftops.
[19:49] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Katsuo lets out something like a growl
[19:50] <@SuikoGM> Sevai!
[19:51] <Somalakshmi> Sevai runs over to get in range for an Ice Shard on Killjoy!
[19:51] <Somalakshmi> 1d20
[19:51] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, 1d20: 19 [1d20=19]
[19:51] <@SuikoGM> POW
[19:52] <Somalakshmi> 1d8+6+13
[19:52] <PsychoRoll> Somalakshmi, 1d8+6+13: 21 [1d8=2]
[19:53] <@SuikoGM> She's lanced by the ice shard, a tear ripping in her outfit, and a crimson droplet of blood leaking out.
[19:53] <@SuikoGM> HP bar broken!
[19:54] <@SuikoGM> "....Go on then. Take your prize." she doesn't sound pleased, but holsters her weapon. "But he is not long for this world. Will you try to save him, Iltani Isaacs? ...Or will you fail, just like you did before?"
[19:54] <Iltani> "Who the -hell- do you think you are?"
[19:54] <@SuikoGM> With her free hand, she activates another rune. This one appears above her head, creating a symbol that looks like a halo.
[19:54] <@SuikoGM> "A ghost."
[19:55] <@SuikoGM> And with that, her entire body vanishes.
[19:55] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "What!?"
06[19:55] * Lekha_Satyasvapna rubs at her eyes.
06[19:55] * Iltani growls, but run towards the mayor. "He needs medical attention, -now-."
[19:55] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "Lekha, you're good at that, right?"  He turns to her.
01[19:55] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "R-right!"
06[19:56] * Lekha_Satyasvapna runs over, Water Rune glowing on her left hand.
[19:56] <@SuikoGM> Garm nods and hobbles over. "Treat him as best you can, and let's get the hell out of here. I fear the time we've bought is almost up."
[19:56] <@SuikoGM> "...Who the hell were those two?"
[19:56] <@SuikoGM> *we've been bought
[19:57] <Iltani> "I wish I knew. The writer of that letter, the fact that that woman knew me..."
[19:57] <Iltani> "Something is fishy about all this."
[19:57] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Katsuo runs on over.  "Anyone good with medicine know what they've done to him?  I've got something for Poisons, but...well, I'm not terribly great at identifying them at work."
03[19:57] * Damienlunas (~damienlun@E72EC98F.3B28DBE0.DE6D5023.IP) has joined #SuikoPokemonIC
06[19:57] * Iltani crouches down and elevates the mayor's head. "Stay with us, Mayor. We've got you."
[19:57] <@SuikoGM> McGraw is pale, but the color in his face starts to return once Lekha starts treating him with her water rune. Something definitely isn't right, though and he's not coming back to consciousness.
[19:57] <@SuikoGM> Medicine checks?
01[19:58] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> 3d6 Medicine

[20:00] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> (pst Damien get in OOC.  And let us know what your last line was)
[20:00] <PsychoRoll> Lekha_Satyasvapna, perception: 13 [4d6=6,2,4,1]
[20:01] <@SuikoGM> Soma and Iltani spy a small dart stuck in the mayor's side, nowhere near the bullet wound he took. Iltani happens to notice it's a special type of poisoned ammunition fired from a crossbow. What kind of poison is hard to say, but it seems Katsuo's right - the guy's been poisoned and he's not waking up. The power of Lekha's water rune doesn't seem to be clearing it up.
[20:01] <@SuikoGM> ...but he may make it through the night yet.
[20:02] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "Well?"
[20:02] <Iltani> "....let's get out of here."
01[20:02] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "Good idea."
[20:02] <Iltani> "THe mayor has indeed been poisoned, and I fear the town is lost by this point."
[20:02] <Iltani> "We need to rendezvous with the Sharpedos and the Absols."
[20:02] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Katsuo quickly goes to administering one of his antidotes, then!
[20:02] <@SuikoGM> Garm: "Right. We'll rendeavouz at Oakbridge with the remnants of the Sharpedos and Loamvil civillians."
[20:03] <@SuikoGM> You administer an antidote of your own. He eases up a bit further. ...Still, it seems like it might take more. You and Lekha have bought him time.
[20:03] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> "Right, I can carry him if no one else can, let's head to Oakbridge and try and find a real doctor."
[20:04] <@SuikoGM> "Bring the prisoners as well, if you can. At least one."
[20:04] <@SuikoGM> "Someone needs to answer for what's happened."
[20:04] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> He nods.
[20:04] <@SuikoGM> Garm looks a bit too weak from absorbing that attack to carry one himself.
06[20:05] * Iltani carries one. It's the least she can do.
[20:05] <Iltani> She waits for Mistral to attach herself to her before Iltani notices that the frog has chosen to hug Strider instead.
[20:05] <Iltani> "...."
[20:05] <Iltani> :|
[20:06] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> :|
[20:06] <KatsuoOfTsukinoshi> Well, let frogs be frogs.
01[20:06] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> "Aw, that's cute."
[20:07] <@SuikoGM> Mistral patpats Iltani. There will be plenty of hugs later. c:
[20:07] <@SuikoGM> You, Garm, and all the others get Mayor McGraw and the prisoners moving.
[20:07] <@SuikoGM> The sounds of battle quickly fall behind you as you make the retreat from Loamvil, north, then to the west. Unbroken Circle is waiting for you with the other members of the dancing troupe, who refused to leave without you. The wounded and the captured are given room on the troupe's cart.
[20:08] <@SuikoGM> The roof on the cart is welcomed soon, for the rain above quickly turns from gentle to a raging torrent.
[20:09] <@SuikoGM> Back the way Soma came to Loamvil, through the narrow, sunken pass of Oakloam Vale, where a branch of the river Nolgir runs - already the river has begun to rise and water laps at your feet.
[20:09] <@SuikoGM> But you make good time, and manage to get through the vale before any danger strikes.
[20:10] <@SuikoGM> Once past, it's clear that whatever army that was has elected not to pursue.
[20:10] <@SuikoGM> Even in the darkness and the rain, the plumes of smoke can still be seen over Loamvil from here.
[20:10] <@SuikoGM> ...The trip is quiet, and depressing. Spirits are at an all-time low.
[20:11] <@SuikoGM> But soon, soon you find your way to the small town of Oakbridge, which certainly did not expect as many guests as it has today.
[20:12] <@SuikoGM> A settlement built around the banks of the Nolgir and two enormous trees that reaches across the river to grow into one massive bridge.
[20:13] <@SuikoGM> Camp is made in the inns, the homes of the sympathetic, and what few tents were managed to be salvaged from the Sapphire Sharpedos' camps on the way out of Loamvil.
[20:13] <@SuikoGM> ....
[20:13] <@SuikoGM> It has been a long day.
[20:13] <@SuikoGM> You get Mayor McGraw to a quiet place of rest. He hasn't improved, but neither has he worsened.
[20:14] <@SuikoGM> And... this would be where I would cut out or let you guys talk among each other for a bit, though Damien's internet issue makes that hawkward.
01[20:15] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> I'd like to do some mini conversations with Katsuo and Soma this week but for now I kinda need to crash
[20:15] <@SuikoGM> Sure thing, whenever you guys want.
01[20:15] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> and if you want to do my new dream sometime this week
[20:15] <@SuikoGM> You're given temporary lodgings in one of the Sharpedos' tents. It seems Torran, the Shark of Ravarra, has not yet returned.
[20:16] <@SuikoGM> But there are friendly faces here yet. Sumeru and Cornell are present.
[20:16] <@SuikoGM> Luc seems to have gotten himself a room at the inn.
[20:16] <@SuikoGM> Garm is recovering from his wounds as well.
[20:16] <@SuikoGM> The dancing troupe is sleeping in their cart.
[20:17] <@SuikoGM> And I'll make a dream for you, sure.
01[20:17] <Lekha_Satyasvapna> <3
[20:17] <@SuikoGM> Merydia and Bernard have also safely made it, Iltani.
[20:17] <Iltani> Having done all she can, she takes watch for one shift, and nods off to sleep.
[20:18] <@SuikoGM> And with that... we will call </session> though you guys may talk whenever you wish.
