- [21:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 ----------------------------- STAR GROUP SESSION THIRTY SEVEN BEGINNING (that's... 3-7 y'all) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- 12[21:25] * Dust_Off is now known as Urdnot_Dust
- 01[21:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Returning once more to our ravaged renegades of the desert wastes known as the Mareizona, more specifically in the town of Glassy Flats, we left at a type of silly montage, after the group prevented the near raping of a pegasus mare inside Daffodil's bar and inn. Having heard of a dire situation in a vital portion of the land, the group has resolved to obtain a map from Pumpkin Patch of their corner of Equestria and lend aid to the settlement they can recall as, 'Mercy.'
- 12[21:27] * Sagittis is now known as Sagizora_Vas_SilentBrony
- 01[21:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis went to speak to Downtrodden about something, whilst Sour_Grape and Dust_Off ventured to Pumpkin Patch's shop... Roy_Calbeck and Slag_Heap... doing... whatever...
- 06[21:28] * +Sour_Grape rings the bell, "Hey bitch! We need a map, post waste."
- 12[21:28] * Sagizora_Vas_SilentBrony is now known as Sagittis
- 06[21:28] * +Urdnot_Dust waits with the filly. She leans close to Sour_Grape's ear, "Let's not gouge Pumpkin today. We need to pay back what we forced them to give."
- 06[21:29] * +Slag_Heap does whatever with Roy_Calbeck
- 06[21:29] * +Sagittis is talking over getting a caravan together and offering to cover security on the way out and pay for it on the way back.
- 12[21:29] * Urdnot_Dust is now known as Dust_Off
- 01[21:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pumpkin Patch blinks at Sour_Grape and frowns slightly at her words, mumbling something under her breath so quietly that not even the spry lil filly nor Dusty could hear and informs her. "Fifty caps and it's yours."
- 06[21:30] * +Sour_Grape takes 50 caps from her pack and hoofs them over without question, "Theres ya go."
- 06[21:31] * +Dust_Off smiles at Pumpkin, "Thank you."
- 01[21:33] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pumpkin Patch takes the caps then levitates over a worn, but still legible road map of pre-war Mareizona... though the original road mappings have large black marker written over them and being replaced with slightly fresh markings of the current settlements such as Dune, Glassy Flats, Grim Pass... with Grim Pass being X'ed out and moved to it's new location... as well as many other locations the group wasn't familiar with or had heard in passing, such as Canyon Divide, Mercy, and Howti.... others... they've never seen such as, 'Songspire', 'Neo Roam', and 'The Flag'. Huh.... of course... Sour_Grape can't really make heads or tails of it... it's all greek to her. What a weird turn of phrase...
- 06[21:34] * +Roy_Calbeck is still there in a montaaaage! Montage! Teaching the locals to organize, so they keep their food stocks tight, you know that's wise! It takes a montage! Slag is there, keeping trouble in line, and when somepony jumps, they ask how high? It takes a montage!
- 06[21:35] * +Sour_Grape gives the map directly to Dust. It might as well have been written in zebra for all Sour could understand it
- 01[21:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Downtrodden is... quite surprised to hear of the generous offer of having a caravan delivered to their settlement... a relief one if not mistaken and replies to Sagittis, "That's... there's no words to say exactly how much we'd appreciate the gesture, Sagi. If you can do it, it'd more than help us... and we'd be able to let pretty much all the refugees stay... though they would have to provide some sort of work for us still... we can't just give free passes, even with an excess of food and water."
- 06[21:37] * +Dust_Off looks over the map after getting it from Grape. The mare has a broad smile, "Finally no more stumbling around on zebra dead reckoning." She looks back at Pumpkin, "Do you have a compass by chance?"
- 01[21:37] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap finds that the most capable pony amongst the refugees is Crop Dust, who... montages whatever Roy_Calbeck and Slag_Heap their actions... A lot of it, things they already knew what to do. They accept their... 'assistance' regardless, giving uneasy smiles.
- 01[21:38] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pumpkin Patch gives a nod saying, "Yea... 25 caps."
- 06[21:38] * +Sagittis nods to Downtrodden. "It would need your daughter to lead it back and forth until we can get markers set up, but yeah, that's the plan."
- 06[21:39] * +Dust_Off turns pleading eyes on Sour_Grape.
- 06[21:40] * +Sour_Grape hoofs over 25 caps too, but is all grumbly about it
- 01[21:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Trust your financial fate to a chem addicted ex-raider foal. Such a sound plan. Downtrodden nods repeatedly speaking, "I'm sure my daughter can find time to do this, and knowing for what cause, I doubt she'd have any objections either."
- 06[21:42] * +Dust_Off hugs Sour_Grape. "Now we can actually navigate!" The mare takes the map and compass.
- 01[21:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pumpkin Patch takes the caps, flashing just a hint of amusement to Sour_Grape's grumblings and gives in return an ancient Pre-war compass... Dirty, scuffed, but functional... Just your basic compass... Oh hey, a thermometer too! Now they could tell just how /exactly/ scorching the desert heat was! Joy!
- 06[21:46] * +Sagittis claps his hooves. "Wonderful. Oh, is there anything you want us to keep an eye out for while we are out?"
- 06[21:46] * +Sour_Grape is suddenly hugged and hugs back. "Yeah, totally. Coul'nt we fly super high 'n see everything from tha skies?"
- 06[21:47] * +Dust_Off nods, "Yes, we can, Grape. We need to so we can see things coming before they can reach us. It's why I fly so much."
- 06[21:48] * @SilentBrony|GM Downtrodden nods to Sagittis and replies as he gives a small sighing, casting his gaze to the now further built east wall, "As much Scrap metal as you can find... We're already running low... This area is pretty much tapped out, cept for the valley mines to the south... but uhh... don't go there... there's really dangerous creatures there... heard they're kind of like... dogs or something."
- 06[21:48] * +Sour_Grape is a bit confused. She knew when you're high up int eh air you can see furhter, so she figured if you wer e/really/ high up you could see everything. "Okay, ah gotcha."
- 01[21:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Downtrodden said all this. Your GM simply laughs at your pathetic attempts.
- 06[21:50] * +Sagittis gives a half salute. "Sure thing. I'm going to do a little hunting while the others are sorting things out."
- 06[21:50] * +Dust_Off lets go of the filly. "Alright, let's get the others and head out." She smiles and nearly prances out. "A good fight! We haven't had one in a while."
- 06[21:51] * +Slag_Heap is still doing stuff that helps in some way.
- 06[21:51] * +Sour_Grape nods and flies beside Dust_Off, "I know right! So much talkn'n drama."
- [21:52] <+Dust_Off> "Nevahmind we need some more income. We've just been spending."
- 01[21:52] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Downtrodden smiles and gives Sagittis a small pat on the shoulder, "Thanks Sagi... you guys are lifesavers... we would be shackled under Pony Legion control without your help... And with these walls and such... we can only get stronger."
- [21:53] <+Dust_Off> *Nevermind
- 06[21:53] * +Sagittis pats Downtrodden's hoof. "That's the plan." He leans up to whisper to the stallion. "I'll see if I can swipe some big wall guns while we're out."
- 01[21:55] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Downtrodden sounds contemplative in thought as he hums, giving his head a tilt, "Y'know... only real place I'd know that would have that kind of hardware would be Mercy... kind of rare... unless maybe the Rangers have them... Steel Rangers usually trot about with large heavy guns."
- 06[21:56] * +Sour_Grape nods, "Yeah, thas true. Need'a loot more."
- 12[21:57] * Slag_Heap is now known as HoboOut
- 01[21:58] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Crop Dust finishes his montaging with Roy_Calbeck and Slag_Heap, smiling still to the stallions as the refugees organize what they can, using one of the houses as a large storehouse, keeping a designated pegasus mare in charge of securing the entrance. Crop then says to the handsome non-bald stallion, "Thanks for your guys' help... We'd... we'd be much worse off without you.... I gotta admit... I never expected such... hospitality from mudp-- errr... from surface trotters."
- 06[21:59] * +Sagittis grins. "Or Enclave. I can rob Enclave, and working cloud tech would give your featherdusters a job."
- 06[22:01] * +Dust_Off trots towards Downtrodden's house with Sour_Grape, "We should look into the Steel Rangers. They attacked those pegasi farmers. I thought they were a reasonable faction here. I may have been wrong."
- 06[22:02] * +Sour_Grape lands on Dust_Off's back, "Ain't nopony is reasonible 'round so it seems.
- [22:02] <+Sour_Grape> "
- 01[22:03] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pumpkin Patch just... stares at Dust_Off and Sour_Grape for a moment then goes to retrieve the book she was reading, but hits it against the lamp she was using for a light, having it nearly careen over and fall on the floor, causing the book to land infront of both party members with it completely open to a particular section... One page detailing in text the history of a long lost pony tribe known as 'Unicornia' and the reign of it's monarchies... in particular one about a deep purple unicorn stallion with a supposed propensity for necromatic magic, though it was never throughly proven. The other half depicts said unicorn... a rather handsome stallion, so elegant and slender in defining features, wrapped in an ornate style of steel plating with flowing velvety furred robes on his back. A steel crown secures his head, his jet black mane long and tied in a ponytail.
- 06[22:03] * +Roy_Calbeck snorts, then tosses Crop Dust a smile. "Maybe part of the problem is havin' one's expectations outta whack. We'll be seein' you folks in a couple weeks or so."
- 01[22:03] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 This occurred, before Dust_Off and Sour_Grape left... the GM just needed to actually post the descriptions!
- 06[22:04] * +Sour_Grape totally didn't leave and sees the picture. She blushes a little at it, because that stallion is very cute.
- 01[22:04] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Downtrodden chuckles as he speaks to Sagittis, shaking his head, "I'd... find it personally poetic if that happened... but really.. I don't know... these pegasi... they might still be attached to their folk... I'd hold off until we find out where they stand on this whole situation."
- 06[22:06] * +Dust_Off also apparently didn't leave. She glances at the passage, noticing the necromancy. The mare frowns and looks up at Pumpkin Pie. "What's this about necromancers in ancient Unicornia?"
- 01[22:07] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pumpkin Patch looks up to Dust_Off and shrugs speaking, "Not sure... something about the regal line of unicorns having ties to necromatic magicks, but was supposedly denied heavily. Not really matters much now though." Using her magic, the shopkeeper picks her book back up and resumes reading it.
- 06[22:09] * +Sour_Grape figures the GM was just trying to tease her, which worked because she was all blushy. Mission accomplished
- 06[22:09] * +Dust_Off frowns, "Except necromancy is concerning to the Irregulars. We ran through the Hollow and hopefully quieted it."
- 01[22:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Crop Dust sighs slightly and just nods slowly to Roy_Calbeck replying, "Right.... hope to see you guys soon... please be safe." The GM would /never/ do such a thing... what a thought Sour_Grape.
- 01[22:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pumpkin Patch looks up at Dust_Off and blinks her milky eyes for a moment, "What? The... what?"
- 06[22:13] * +Dust_Off cocks her head, "The Hollow? Nexus of eldritch evil?"
- 01[22:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pumpkin Patch goes silent for a moment then just goes, "Uhh.... huh..." rather condecendingly.
- 03[22:15] * HoboPhone ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
- 06[22:15] * +Dust_Off rolls her eyes, "Sure don't believe us. You're welcome by the way." She glances over and sees the filly blushing and remembered the OTHER picture. The mare squees and leans into Grape, "He was very charming and handsome, wasn't he?"
- 07[22:15] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v HoboPhone
- 12[22:16] * HoboPhone is now known as Slag_Heap
- 06[22:16] * +Sour_Grape blushes more and shakes her head, "NOPE! No idea what you're talking about we should go make sure ther others aren't killing each o9ther lets go right this way." SHe walks out of the shop for real
- 06[22:17] * +Roy_Calbeck and, presumably, Slag, head back to the meeting point. That was the inn, right?
- 06[22:18] * +Dust_Off chuckles, "Pumpkin, you may not believe me, but please keep that book after your finished. I'd like to buy it. "
- [22:18] <+Dust_Off> *chuckles then looks back to the shopkeeper.
- 06[22:19] * +Slag_Heap heads to the meeting point with a wooden pony with a bucket head.
- 06[22:19] * +Slag_Heap means Roy_Calbeck
- 01[22:20] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pumpkin Patch shrugs and says, "I've already read it... sorta boring... If you want it, only 10 caps."
- 01[22:21] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap and Roy_Calbeck see Sagittis speaking to Downtrodden, Sour_Grape is making her way hastily towards the meeting spot herself... being rather quick, she can also see the flufflecolt.
- 06[22:22] * +Sagittis waves to the others. "Okay then, so, what would folks like to do till Sightseer gets back and we head to Dune?"
- 01[22:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape may or may NOT still be blushing when she reconnects with the other four... dependant on herself.
- 06[22:23] * +Sour_Grape totally is, why not.
- 01[22:24] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Bueno...
- 06[22:24] * +Dust_Off takes out ten caps and gives it to Pumpkin. "Thank you." She takes the book and puts it in her bag, "By the way, what does Glassy Flats make or have to trade?"
- 06[22:24] * +Slag_Heap looks at the group members. "We're heading back?" He smirks. "Well alright."
- 06[22:25] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at Slag. "HE'S heading back, with our money, to set up a caravan supply line for the refugees. With Sightseer.
- 01[22:26] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pumpkin Patch responds to Dust_Off, "We don't really give anything back, we simply purchase things, we make our living off of the fact that our settlement isn't a complete shit hole, compared to others. Plus we're one of the very few settlements this side of the Blasted sands... especially since the south valley has something in it that keeps everyone at bay."
- 06[22:26] * +Sagittis cocks an eyebrow at Sour_Grape's blush. The colt gets a grin. "Oh dear, you seem to be a bit flush. Cootie fever?"
- 06[22:27] * +Sagittis looks to Roy_Calbeck. "Oh? You are not coming with? I would love to know what food and water you will use to get to the fight."
- 06[22:27] * +Dust_Off takes out her map, "South valley? Where abouts is it?" She holds out the map...with her wings...so dextrous you know.
- 06[22:27] * +Sour_Grape blushes more at Sagittis, "Ah shaddup, ah'm not.... just fuck off." She huffs.
- 06[22:27] * +Slag_Heap looks at Sagittis. "How long you gonna be there?"
- 02[22:29] * +Roy_Calbeck ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
- 06[22:30] * +Sagittis grins at Sour_Grape's reactoin. He was sooooo right on the money. He looks to Slag_Heap. "I was thinking a day or so. We head out at sunset, so we stay cooler and make less of a to do when we go. But I do need at least Dust and Sour to come with me. I have an idea to kill tow birds with one stone."
- 01[22:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off sees a very small valley pass directly south of Glassy Flats, that reads, 'Tartarus Ravine' in black marker. Faded under it, read in the original print, 'Happy Trails Mountain Ravine' with the depiction of a mine there, reading, 'Happy Trails Coal mine' then next to it in bold print 'EXAUSTED'. Pumpkin Patch responds to the very inquisitive pegasus mare, "It was once a trade route through the valley, always sorta dangerous as critters liked to take refuge in it... something draws them there... but then something settled there that well... now nopony even dares to go into... they say that there's like... dogs there or something."
- 03[22:30] * Roy_Calbeck ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
- 06[22:31] * +Slag_Heap hmmms. "Well, if you're staying a day, mind if I come to help out? Kinda want to see if Jasmine's around."
- 06[22:32] * +Sagittis looks Slag over. "If you are willing to haul a cart, you are in."
- 06[22:32] * +Dust_Off frowned and looks to see if said trade route would go through Glassy Flats, "Maybe Hellhounds which is no laughing matter."
- 06[22:33] * +Slag_Heap nods and chuckles. "Yeah, sure. I'm used to it."
- 01[22:34] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Downtrodden looks to Sagittis then to the rest of the group, nodding to them and speaking, "Thanks again for your help guys... If you don't mind, I need to let the crew know it's time to head home... not to mention get the pay rounded out to the guards." Pumpkin Patch blinks then tilts her head asking in confusion, "Hell...hounds?"
- 06[22:35] * +Sagittis nods to Downtrodden. "Righto. Please do get anything you want sold in town together. I am sure Sour could get you a real good trade deal." He leans in close to the stallion. "She scares ponies."
- 06[22:36] * +Dust_Off nods, "Did you hear of Diamond Dogs? Pardon me if i assume you are Pre-War."
- 01[22:36] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Downtrodden scrunches his face then replies, "Well... we'll have to find something... with the Scorpion gang gone... we'll have to send more teams to Gold Valley." the stallion then departs to the east wall.
- 06[22:37] * +Sour_Grape stops blushes and tries to look as not-cute as possible
- 01[22:37] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pumpkin Patch nods to Dust_Off speaking, "Yeah, I know about Diamond Dogs... but I've never heard of any Hellhounds. Is it even possible for the Sour to /not/ look cute?
- 06[22:37] * +Sagittis grins at Sour_Grape. "Hey, Sour, can you do that meek blush thing at will? If you can, it would be one hell of a bartering tool."
- 06[22:38] * +Sour_Grape flushes again and then glares at Sagittis, "W-what! No. Stahp that. I'm not cute, grrr."
- 06[22:38] * +Slag_Heap stifles a chuckle
- 01[22:39] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pumpkin Patch didn't ask about the Sour bit... there's supposed to be an end quotation after Hellhounds.
- 06[22:39] * +Slag_Heap looks at Saggi. "Might want to watch your back." He jerks his head at Sour.
- 06[22:41] * +Dust_Off nods, "Hellhounds are what balefire did to Diamond Dogs. Claws like plasma cutters, can burst from anywhere underground. They're rife out near the Capital." She rolls up her map. "It goes without saying, don't go there. Thank you, Ms. Patch. I best catch up with my ponies."
- 06[22:42] * +Sagittis smirks, now knowing he could get her to blush when he wanted to. "Fair enough. Fair enough. Think you could get this town a good eal and scam an old bastard into painting a bullseye on his back?"
- 12[22:42] * Arcane_Scroll[A] is now known as Arcane_Scroll
- 06[22:43] * +Sour_Grape huffs and nods, "Ah coul' get anyone ah good deal."
- 01[22:44] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pumpkin Patch nods slowly then adds in a demused tone, "That's... just great... take care." the ghoulifed unicorn mare gives a loud dispondant sighing then pulls out a beaten book that reads on the title, 'The history of Kanassas'
- 06[22:45] * +Slag_Heap looks between Sour and Slag. "...better not be talking about me..."
- 01[22:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3
- 06[22:48] * +Sagittis nods. "Good, and the other part?"
- 01[22:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 'The History of Kansass', pardon.
- 06[22:48] * +Sagittis shakes his head to Slag_Heap. "Naw. Older, more of a bastard."
- 06[22:49] * +Sour_Grape "I could try... thas more hard, but ah think ah could manage."
- 06[22:50] * +Dust_Off leaves the store finally. Kansass. Pfft. She had not interest in reading about donkeys and their backwards mule religion. She takes to the air to look for her company.
- 06[22:50] * +Slag_Heap blinks. "There's an older bastard than me out there?" He huffs.
- 06[22:51] * +Sagittis gets an evil grin. "Good, because I want you to convince Boss Juice to publicly finance our little war."
- 01[22:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off doesn't need to go far to see that everyone in her party was smack dab in the town square, near Downtrodden's home. A particular one-eyed molly might have some choice words for the pegasus mare.
- 06[22:51] * +Sour_Grape "Ya mean tha war'ta save Mercy?"
- 06[22:52] * +Dust_Off flies over and lands near the group, "So what's going on?"
- [22:53] <+Dust_Off> And that certain molly is a thousand miles away and years in the past so there.
- 06[22:53] * +Slag_Heap looks down at Dust. Short ponies. "Goin to Dune. Hoping to see Jasmine."
- 06[22:54] * +Sagittis nods to Sour_Grape.
- 06[22:55] * +Dust_Off looks at the others, "Wat."
- 06[22:56] * +Sour_Grape "Ah could probably convince him its vital... cept he had all this drama in ees life, an might not be best'ta test'em."
- [22:56] <+Slag_Heap> "Well, I'm hoping to see Jasmine. I'm just there to pull stuff."
- 06[22:57] * +Sagittis chuckles. "We can pitch it as a way to help public relations and avenge his daughter. In exchange, we get caps for weapons, armor, gear, meds and if the Legion or Enclave get the urge to be vengeful, he will be the one in the crosshairs, not Flats or us."
- 06[22:58] * +Dust_Off blinks, "Could someone let me into the planning loop?"
- 07[22:59] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Roy_Calbeck
- 06[22:59] * +Roy_Calbeck coughs into one hoof.
- 06[23:00] * +Slag_Heap steps back to let Dust in on the comvo. He lights a cigar and listens.
- 12[23:00] * Pantzar is now known as PantzArting
- 06[23:01] * +Sagittis technically just needs Dust_Off to stand there looking pretty and adult, but she may as well know. "Just an idea for extra income, reputation and security from reprisals."
- 06[23:02] * +Dust_Off gives Sagittis his usually tired look. "Which is...?"
- 01[23:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 To note... it is currently night time, as the night shift griffoness was in the bar when all the hoo-hah was going down.
- 06[23:04] * +Sagittis "Getting the Juice jerkwad to pay for it.
- 01[23:04] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Choice words.
- 06[23:08] * +Dust_Off looks at Sagittis and Grape, "We go back to Dune and get Juice to fund our expedition to Mercy and act in his name?"
- 06[23:09] * +Sour_Grape "Thas the idea, an we needa go apparently ta set up the carvaan anyway."
- 06[23:10] * +Sagittis nods withb an evil smirk. "We get payed for what we would do anyway. We get more favor in that city. And, if any group involved wants payback, well it was a Juice operation, no need to hunt us or the Flats."
- 06[23:11] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at Dust_Off. "Of course, our original plan was to have Sightseer take our money to Dune and set up the supply caravan for the refugees, while we all go to Mercy and sort that mess out, but it's hardly the first time our group's had a variety of different ideas." He sighs and looks up at the stars. "Not th' worst of all possible worlds..."
- 06[23:13] * +Dust_Off frowns, "I could do without seeing Dune for a long time...but it's not a bad plan. Though they WILL hunt us. We are the agents no matter who we act for."
- 06[23:19] * +Sour_Grape "Ah don't care either way, but ain't we ona time limit?"
- 06[23:20] * +Sagittis looks over to Roy_Calbeck. "Yet again, what exactly did you plan on eating or drinking during the war? Hell, even getting there?" He looks to Dust_Off. "True, but it would still get them to split their attention. Hell, if all goes well, we may be able to get the Enclave and Legion to escalate their conflict to direct war rather than imperialist war."
- 01[23:20] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The world definitely doesn't stand still for you, despite what you may think... That's for certain... Guards bustle about now, with their lanterns aglow... but for some reason... there is still quite a few townsponies milling about... mainly in couples, with their tails entwined with one another as they either stroll, lounge about on dirty blankets, gazing into one another's eyes, or entering Daffodil's inn.
- 06[23:22] * +Sagittis nods to Sour_Grape. "Well, it isn't too late. I suppose I could take the envoys to Dune to start the resource gathering, then I will head back on my own to escort the caravan. How does that sound?"
- 01[23:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Also to note... the stars seem to be aglow with fierce intensity, giving off an air of whimsy.
- 06[23:24] * +Slag_Heap huffs a plume of smoke. He starts thinking about Jasmine. He is also thankful he's wearing full armour.
- 06[23:25] * +Dust_Off blinks, "Get there? Oh! We got a map and compass now. We can get there at any time." She looks around, "As much as i hate it, let's go through Dune. Any support from the Juices would be beneficial at least to protecting Glassy Flats."
- 06[23:25] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at Sagi. "One reason we got the map was to see how far Mercy was, so we could plan rations accordingly. We AREN'T out of food and most places are within a few days' travel. Odds are we don't need to get any fresh supplies beyond water."
- 06[23:27] * +Sagittis snorts to Roy_Calbeck. "We are lifting a siege, Roy. We need a good deal of surplus. In a war of attrition, and occupied cities, we could get a lot of support with some cigarets, booze, bread and chocolate. Besides, in a desert, pack twice as much water as you think you need."
- 06[23:28] * +Sour_Grape "A seige? I thought Mercy wasn't being attacked yet, just next on tha list."
- 06[23:29] * +Sagittis shakes his head to Sour_Grape. "Granted, but with two big bads in the region, I am willing to bet they are short more that a few key caravans."
- 06[23:29] * +Roy_Calbeck eyerolls. "They're not under siege."
- 06[23:29] * +Slag_Heap hums to himself as he looks to the stars.
- [23:30] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Plus we're looking to do our own raiding. If we can't make ends meet of what we take from the 'big bads', we shouldn't be out there in th' first place."
- 01[23:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The stars are very bright and quite nice to look at... Oh hey! A Shooting_Star! Make a wish!
- 06[23:30] * +Slag_Heap kicks his saddle. "Someone say siege? I wouldn't mind being a siege cannon if you have the ordinance."
- 06[23:30] * +Sour_Grape ooohs at the pretty stars. She is now offically bored of the conversations because the stars are pretty and more interesting.
- 06[23:30] * +Roy_Calbeck wishes the usual, that time would reverse itself a couple hundred years and ponies hadn't pulled that particular run of stupid.
- [23:31] <+Slag_Heap> A thousand miles away, a crazy little Pegasus makes a wish. It worked! He got candy, porn, and a party hat!
- 06[23:32] * +Slag_Heap makes a wish. He doesn't get his mane back. Phooey.
- 01[23:32] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sadly such a wish seems to beyond the star's power. What a shame. Slag_Heap notices... yet another strand of mane falling out.... oh no.
- 06[23:32] * +Dust_Off looks, "Let's not make this complicated. When in Dune, you can buy what you will, but our first priority is securing the town. Somewhat quickly."
- 06[23:33] * +Slag_Heap looks at the strand of mane, then rubs his bald head. Where'd that come from....
- 06[23:35] * +Sour_Grape continues to stare at the stars, so shiny. "Ih ah fly really high c'n ah get onna those fer my own?"
- 06[23:35] * +Sagittis just decides to ignore Roy_Calbeck's criminal shortsidedness. "Okay, Dust. So, we going now or waiting till morning?"
- 06[23:37] * +Slag_Heap looks at Sour. "I'm sure one day ya will." He looks at his own back. "Grab me one too, will ya?"
- 12[23:37] * SilentBrony|GM is now known as SilentPegasister|GM
- 06[23:38] * +Dust_Off looks up, "No, Grape, each of those is a burning incandescent ball of gas VERY VERY VERY far away. " She looks at Sagittis and then others, "Everyone okay to go now?"
- 06[23:39] * +Sagittis shifts his saddle a bit. "Yup."
- 06[23:39] * +Sour_Grape frowns at Dust_Off, "Oh..." She goes on beliving that she'll be able to grab herself a star sometime. "Yeah we can go now."
- 06[23:39] * +Slag_Heap looks at Dust. "Spoil sport."
- 06[23:42] * +Dust_Off looks at Slag_Heap, "You don't push young fliers to climb to unsafe heights. Think in three dimensions for once."
- 02[23:42] * +Roy_Calbeck ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

- 06[23:44] * +Sagittis ponders. "I think I heard a story about an Icasus or some sort. Earth pony with wax wings, got killed flying to the sun."
- 06[23:44] * +Slag_Heap huffs. "Idiot. Wax wings?"
- 06[23:45] * +Slag_Heap pfffts. "Mechanical wings are where it's at."
- 06[23:46] * +Dust_Off looks at Grape, "High altitudes are colder and become increasingly hard to breath at, nevermind atmospheric conditions. I'll teach you, but you need to be careful until we cover it." She looks around, "Alright, ready?"
- 06[23:47] * +Sagittis "Anyway, shall we get going? I think Slag has some undercovers adventures he wants to go on."
- 06[23:48] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Let's go." He looks at Saggi. "Not expecting undercovers adventures, but ya never know."
- 06[23:49] * +Dust_Off glances at Slag_Heap, "We won't have that long as a reminder."
- 06[23:49] * +Sour_Grape nods at Dust_Off, "I'll be super careful, I don't wanna burn up."
- 06[23:50] * +Sagittis shrugs. "We have at least until I make the round trip with the caravan, anyway, we are burning moonlight."
- 06[23:50] * +Slag_Heap nods at Dust. "Only kidding around. Probably just have a drink together."
- 06[23:51] * +Dust_Off rolls her eyes, "What a stupid myth. You freeze at high altitude not burn. Ground ponies don't know anything."
- 03[23:51] * TenMihara ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP

- 06[23:52] * +Slag_Heap "know how to survive and make cybernetics..."
- 06[23:53] * +Sour_Grape can't really argue with Dust_Off because she is a ground pony and she is also kind of dumb. "If ya say so. Less get going." SHe keeps staring at the stars anyway.
- 06[23:54] * +Sagittis looks to Sour_Grape stargazing. "Sour, want to ride on my back on the way?"
- 06[23:55] * +Dust_Off glances at Slag_Heap, "Cybernetics are hardly exclusive to the surface and we are each adapted to our native environment." (no matter what the rules say).
- 06[23:56] * +Slag_Heap rolls his eyes. "Sure, yer magesty."
- 06[23:56] * +Sour_Grape blushes at what Sagittis says, "W-what. Ah c'n walk fine."
- 06[23:57] * +Roy_Calbeck goes along because Dust_Off is going and she's the commander.
- 06[23:57] * +Slag_Heap chuckles. "Ya can ride on my back if ya like. Just ask." He marches on ahead.
- 01[23:57] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 The group takes off, making their way once more towards the Blasted Sands and ultimately once more to Dune... though eventually they may reach Mercy. With the sun set, the desert landscape is a rather chilly setting, the compass temperature reading 54 degrees Farenheit. (about 12 degrees celsius). The trek, as arduous as it is, takes the party the usual hours to complete, requiring all to consume at least one bottle of water and package of food. Now at the large gates of the massive city settlement, the guards with it's outside office waves to them, shouting out, "Halt! Identify yourselves!"
- 06[23:57] * +Sagittis smirks to Sour_Grape. "I'm sure you can, but I don't want you walking into things while you stargaze."
- 06[23:59] * +Slag_Heap shows the guard his passport.
- Session Time: Fri Feb 15 00:00:00 2013
- 06[00:00] * +Dust_Off produces her passport, "Mareizona Irregulars, sir."
- 06[00:01] * +Sour_Grape totally walks by herself without Sagittis' help because reasons. "Yea that."
- 03[00:01] * @TenMihara ([email protected]) has left #FalloutEquestriaPNP
- 06[00:01] * +Sagittis just looks at the guards. He is expecting them to just let him in, as he has a rather unique look.
- 06[00:02] * +Slag_Heap has a pretty unique look, but streamlines the entry process.
- 01[00:03] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 It is also night time still, visibility is limited for all, unless the group held up lighted beacons or something for the guards to see them clearly, but such an idea is rather bad in a hostile wasteland. When the group approaches closer for the guards to actually see them more clearly... more importantly their passports, the lead guard, bearing the Sugar family emblem and brown colored combat barding nods, speaking, "You may proceed, welcome back to Dune." The group is then allowed access once more into the city.
- 06[00:03] * +Dust_Off glances at Sagittis, "Oh just show them the passport. It's formality.0
- [00:04] <+Dust_Off> "Stop being a drama llama."
- 06[00:04] * +Slag_Heap matches in. "Thank you, sir." His heart dances.
- 06[00:04] * +Sour_Grape "Thats racist."
- 06[00:05] * +Sagittis shows the passport. "Awwww, I was trying to set a dangerous precedent."
- 06[00:07] * +Dust_Off rolls her eyes, "Sure. More like subvert any sort of authority. Are griffons anarchists or something?"
- 06[00:07] * +Slag_Heap looks at the group. "So, will you be needing me immediately, or can I waltz merrily along to the mare of my dreams?"
- 01[00:08] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 A sultury, flamenco dressed, terracota colored earth pony mare with a luxurious black curly mane, and clamshells adorning it, stands near the entrance while the group tarries... holding some sort of small squared laminated paper, mellowdramatically pressing a fetlock to her forehead as she leans against a lamp post, speaking out in an equally melodramatic tone in a strange dialect the group has no idea is, "Oh mi querido Lloron ... Cómo anhelo tu presencia una vez más ..."
- 06[00:10] * +Sagittis shakes his head. "Nope. I just have high standards for authority figures."
- 01[00:12] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 It is to note... still quite dark in the night, about three and a half hours had elapsed while the group traveled from Glassy Flats to Dune.
- 06[00:12] * +Slag_Heap awaits his answer.
- 06[00:13] * +Dust_Off snorts, "Suuuurrrre." The mare looks at Slag, "Go ahead. Be quick though. We don't know the situation in Mercy, and shouldn't dawdle."
- 06[00:14] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Aye ma'am. Meet back here later?"
- 06[00:14] * +Slag_Heap looks at Sour. "Sour, can I withdraw 100 caps from the Royal Bank of Sour?"
- 06[00:15] * +Sour_Grape hoofs over 100 caps to slag, "This is the last time for a month, I swear'ta clesia."
- 06[00:16] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Aw. Okay." He pockets the caps. "Thanks." He nods at the group and skips off to the club Jasmine dances in.
- 06[00:17] * +Sagittis jots down a little list of items, drawing a little picture next to each name so Sour_Grape knows what he means. "Mind picking a few things up for me when you are done with the whole extra cash scam plan?" He offers the list.
- 01[00:18] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 The guards still within earshot of Sagittis blink then look at one another... giving each other suspicious glances. Slag_Heap being the only member of the group actually moving away from the entrance.
- 06[00:18] * +Sour_Grape takes the list, "Sure."
- 06[00:20] * +Sagittis nods to Sour_Grape. "Grand. I'll be back in a few hours with Sightseer. That should give everypony time to get all the carvany, ploty, schemy plans done. Also known as shopping." He smirks. "That good with all of you?"
- 06[00:22] * +Dust_Off nods, "Yes."
- 06[00:23] * +Sour_Grape "Word."
- 06[00:23] * +Sour_Grape goes to the place to do the things
- 06[00:23] * +Dust_Off goes with Grape to the places to do the things.
- 06[00:25] * +Sagittis zips off back into the dessert, getting a bit of hunting and gathering on his way back to Flats. His player works to write up a list.
- 01[00:27] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Slag_Heap is making his way to the Ore district, cutting through the center road as it was the quickest route to it. Along the way he spots more pony couples, similar in Glassy Flats, doing much of the same thing, gazing up to the starry lit sky, with entwined tails or gazing into one another's eyes with affection... Strange... The guards begin to murmer when Sagittis continues to spout more words. Sour_Grape, Roy_Calbeck, and Dust_Off head off to Guava Juice's manor, with Sagittis going out to the desert to do his resource gathering on the way back to Glassy Flats.
- 01[00:29] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Sour_Grape, Dust_Off, and Roy_Calbeck find themselves at the Juice manor, the gate guard eyeing them for a moment and speaking, "You guys again? Boss Juice is asleep at the moment and he ain't expectin none of ya... is this important?"
- 06[00:29] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at Dust_Off.
- 06[00:30] * +Sour_Grape looks at Dust_Off
- 06[00:34] * +Dust_Off looks up at the dark sky and facehoofs with a sigh. "Not that important. When about does Mister Juice usually wake up?"
- 01[00:35] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 The gate guard responds, "Come back around Six in the mornin... Boss Juice is an early riser." Slag_Heap finds the 'Heat and Spin cycle' with... wow... /lots/ of ponies... more so than usual forming a giant line at the entrance. Good gravy. There is four bounces as opposed to the standard two, slowly ushering the crowds in.
- 06[00:36] * +Slag_Heap toward above anyone. He approaches a bouncer. "Jasmine Petal dancing tonight?"
- 01[00:37] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Sagittis, using his expert survival and stealth techniques, aided by the cover of darkness, happens to his luck to find two radscorpions fighting a host of large ants... about six ants total versus the two radscorpions... However no geckos. How... fortiutous.
- 01[00:37] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Four Bouncers, grah.
- 06[00:38] * +Dust_Off looks and Grape and Roy, "Let's do our shopping first instead." She looks down at Grape and takes the list, "Maybe i should hold onto...and read that."
- 01[00:38] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 The bouncer that Slag_Heap approaches frowns hard and says, "She's off, get to the back of the line baldie."
- 06[00:39] * +Sagittis waits and watches the bugs kill each other till there is only one side left, as none of his guns are exactly quiet.
- 06[00:39] * +Roy_Calbeck looks back at Dust_Off. "What shopping? I understood we were going to commission a caravan to run regular supplies to Glassy Flats. They handle all the shopping."
- 12[00:40] * Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Sleeping[A]
- 06[00:40] * +Sour_Grape nods and gives it to Dust_Off, "Yeah, Sagi'sa shit drawer."
- 06[00:40] * +Sagittis drew with his mouth. Give him a break.
- 06[00:41] * +Roy_Calbeck hides a snerk behind a hoof, trying to rub it off before it becomes obvious.
- 06[00:42] * +Dust_Off smirks, "I don't know. The zebra wants to be a merchant. I think. Let's see this list..."
- 06[00:42] * +Sour_Grape already gave it to Dust_Off
- 06[00:42] * +Slag_Heap narrows his eyes. "Where is she?" He smiles. "I think my friends Ten and Caps might help me find out..."
- 01[00:44] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 The ants swarm over one of the radscorpions savagely biting with their razor sharp mandibles on the jet black carapaced arachnid, slicing large gouges into the creature and illiciting screechy hisses in response. One of the ants in it's frenzy bites one of hit's comrades in the chaos in the leg. The radscorpions respond with their own attacks, one clawing equally as vicious as the ants biting, but missing completely, his partner lashing with his massive barbed stinger, but missing completely as well.
- [00:44] <+Dust_Off> • Dust_Off rolls her eyes, "Really? This isn't a cargo manifest. It's his personal shopping list mostly."
- 06[00:45] * +Roy_Calbeck just gives Dusty another look.
- 06[00:45] * +Sour_Grape shrugs, "I dunno, thats what he gave me."
- [00:45] <+Dust_Off> "Flour? Baking chocolate? When does he think we'll have time to make cupcakes?"
- 01[00:46] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 The bouncer just looks at Slag_Heap like he's an idiot, replying to the stallion, "10 caps? On this night? One of our busiest nights? You're really funny. Seriously. Look and hear me laughing." the bouncer clearly isn't doing any of the sort. He then adds harshly, "Either pony up some actual caps or get da fuck to the back of the line."
- 06[00:47] * +Slag_Heap shrugs. "Aight, I ain't got time for this. How's 30?"
- 06[00:50] * +Sour_Grape "Whats a cupcake?"
- 01[00:51] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 The Bouncer looks at the caps then grins and takes the caps saying, "Have a good time sir." Allowing the cyber stallion access into the club.
- 06[00:51] * +Slag_Heap smiles, "yeah, thanks." He matches in and looks for the pony in charge.
- 06[00:52] * +Slag_Heap or a floor manager.
- 06[00:52] * +Dust_Off looks down at Sour_Grape, "What's a...oh that is wrong! Alright, let's get him his supplies, if only to get you cupcakes." She goes towards a grocer.
- 06[00:53] * +Sour_Grape follows after Dust_Off for off-screen bartering! She doesn't get the big deal, cups tasted gross.
- 01[00:54] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 The radscorpions put up a valiant fight, but are ultimately overwhelmed by the might of the Ants... or rather outnumbered... be afraid Sour_Grape... be very afraid... The three surviving ants did not survive unscathed... well two didn't... One was a champ and took no hits at all during that conflict. They then busy themselves by beginning to tear the radscorpions apart.
- 06[00:57] * +Sagittis blasts the unscathed ant with his cannon.
- 01[00:57] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Slag_Heap does see that one mare who was dressed formally with shades on... he recalled rather vividly that she was the one speaking to the crowd when their party entered and caused all that ruckus for Peach Nectar Juice... who was currently speaking to a couple of very buff stallion bounces, all three of which were smiling.
- 06[00:59] * +Slag_Heap walks over and waits for his turn to speak.
- 01[01:04] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 The object that Sagittis blasts the unscathed ant with completely cripples the creatures right set of legs, causing it to let out a furious skree. Of course, such a tremendously loud weapon also manages to gain the attention of it and it's two comrades, making them click their mandibles threateningly and begin their advance on the flufflecolt, quite a few yards away, though at this point they have closed the gap from Long range to medium.
- 01[01:05] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Slag_Heap might be there for a while as none of the three turn to him, they continue to talk to one another... laughing occassionally, as the loud party music booms and beats. Various dancing ponies on the stages are being oggled by other ponies on the floor, most with couples and smiling wide to one another.
- 06[01:06] * +Slag_Heap taps the mare on the shoulder. "Excuse me, ma'am." The towering tank of a stallion asks.
- 01[01:06] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Dust_Off, Roy_Calbeck, and Sour_Grape recall that there was a supermarket in Dune in the Juice district, something something Apricots. When they reach the doors, they notice to their dismay that it is locked. Damn these ponies and sleeping!
- 06[01:06] * +Sagittis shoots the ant again and reloads.
- 06[01:08] * +Sour_Grape just wants to get this over with so they can go to Mercy, stupid GM being so difficult about it
- 06[01:09] * +Dust_Off facehoofs, "Why did we go along with zebra's plan? What does he know of regular operating hours out in the boondocks?" She walks towards the Broken Wheel, "Let's just wait...."
- 01[01:10] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 The next shot that Sagittis fires off gibs completely the other set of legs, causing the creature to writhe and skree out pathetically before going limp and lifeless. His two comrades advance even closer to the flufflecolt going from medium range to now short range. The mare Slag_Heap speaks to looks over at the cyberstallion, scowling a little under her shades and asking, "Yes? Can I help you?"
- 06[01:10] * +Sour_Grape "Whats a boom dock?"
- 06[01:11] * +Slag_Heap "looking for Jasmine. Know where I can find her?"
- [01:13] <+Dust_Off> "Boondock, means far out away from any form of civilization."
- 06[01:14] * +Sagittis miniguns
- 01[01:14] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 The shade wearing mare cocks her head about to Slag_Heap going, "Jasmine... Jasmine... Oh!" gaining some recognition and speaking, "Ah right... she's off right now. Sorry champ."
- 06[01:17] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Bouncer said that, I want to know where I can find her."
- 06[01:18] * +Sour_Grape waits for the shops and the guy to be awake and stuff. If only she had thumbs to twiddle
- 01[01:19] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Sagittis whips out his trusty deathmachine, unleashing a burst of destructive hail that rips through the already wounded ants, causing them both to skree for a moment then fall to the ground lifeless. Undoubtedly the flufflecolt would then proceed to harvest the spoils, finding six pieces of consumeable ant meat, two pieces of consumeable radscorpion meat, as well as a non mangled stinger on one of the scorps. The ants also yield five usable carapace pieces.
- 01[01:20] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 The Mare tilts her head to Slag_Heap and speaks, "I'm not going to tell you where you can find her. If you need to speak to her, then leave a message with the front desk."
- 06[01:21] * +Slag_Heap sighs and nods. "Alright." He heads for the front desk
- 06[01:21] * +Sagittis takes the lot and then fades into the background so as not to ake more time.
- 01[01:22] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Slag_Heap goes to the front desk, another mare sitting behind it smiles warmly to him and says, "Welcome to the Heat and Spin cycle, how can I help?"
- 06[01:22] * +Dust_Off sighs, going into take a seat in the bar. "If only i had the caps...I'm sure it would be open..."
- 06[01:23] * +Sour_Grape "Huh? Wassat suppose to mean?"
- 06[01:24] * +Slag_Heap nods. "I'd like to leave a message for Jasmine Petal. Tell her Slag was here looking for her and wants to know if she'd like to grab a drink next time he's in town."
- 01[01:25] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 The front desk mare smiles and says, "Sure thing, Mr. Slag. I'll let her know when she clocks in for her next shift. Anything else you need?"
- 06[01:27] * +Dust_Off glances at Sour_Grape and blanches, "Nothing. Nothing. Just...clothing shopping."
- 06[01:28] * +Sour_Grape blinks at Dust_Off, "Er... alright... be weird then."

- 01[01:52] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 The group waits until Morning when things /finally/ begin to open up. They go to the juice caravaneers, and coincedently Sagittis shows back up in Dune with Sightseer at the caravan offices. Spending two thousand caps... however it's done, it's done. Now, with that business done, It is roughly about 8 A.M. They're a little tired having stayed up for so long, but they're still good to go. Slag_Heap recieves word somehow that Jasmine will look forward to a date after she gets off, which will be about 6:00 P.M. local time. The entire party is now infront of Guava Juice's manor, the only thing that cannot be waived. If Sagittis was delivering his hunting spoils to Glassy Flats, it's done, if not, it's in his possession.
- 06[01:55] * +Roy_Calbeck stands there like a lawn ornament.
- 06[01:55] * +Sour_Grape goes into the Guava palace and uses her amazing talking skills to convince Guava to give them money to save mercy for the sake of the entire region
- 06[01:56] * +Roy_Calbeck waits for Sour to be ejected at high speed and angle.
- 06[01:57] * +Slag_Heap stands there smiling. He can't wait till 6.
- 06[01:57] * +Roy_Calbeck sits there on his haunches, looking like he's waiting to catch a baseball pitch.
- 06[01:58] * +Sagittis is here.
- 01[01:58] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Sour_Grape enters the juice manor and sees Guava standing at his usual spot at the top of the stairs, the boss leader tells the filly that he's not the only one that can solely make such an important decision as it would draw a great deal of troops from the security of Dune, that she would need to convince the other two boss leaders that co-run Dune itself to agree to this rather risky and outlandish request. He himself is not currently motivated to give an approval to go to war against either N.P.L. or M.A.C... your move filly.
- 06[01:59] * +Slag_Heap wonders why Roy's sitting like he needs to take the biggest poop.
- 06[02:00] * +Sour_Grape says she's not talking about going to war, just giving them money enough to go there and protect the town. Nobody even need know, but he couldn't really sit around while the ponies that attacked his carvaans are getting closer to untold firepower.
- 06[02:02] * +Dust_Off nods, "Couldn't you assist a trading partner, that being Mercy? If anyone attacks, the onus would be on the attacker. You would be a friend, protecting a friend."
- 01[02:03] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Guava Juice shakes his head responding to the filly that such a request will be denied and that he will only change his mind if the other two leaders agree to her line of thinking. The best he can do is give her about five hundred caps for the party to assist the possibly soon to be sacked settlement.
- 06[02:04] * +Sour_Grape will accept the 500 caps for now and questions the rest of the group on how to proceed
- [02:04] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Put it in the caravan fund. Now let's move.
- 06[02:06] * +Dust_Off thanks Guava for his time and leads the others out of the mansion, "Well, that didn't work. I have no desire to sit in committee. We just go to mercy and get hired by them. We ARE mercenaries for murtaugh's sake. That should be enough protection for Glassy Flats."
- 01[02:08] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Sour_Grape recieves 500 caps, Guava wishing them the best of luck and that... perhaps he can hold a meeting with the other leaders, but they're assholes... assholes that unfortunately he's forced to work with for the good of Dune itself.
- 06[02:08] * +Sour_Grape nods and gives the money to the fund, somehow, magic. It works like that.
- 01[02:08] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Sure why not at this point.
- 06[02:09] * +Sour_Grape has money magic, woohoo
- 06[02:15] * +Roy_Calbeck finds a public tap and refills his one empty water bottle before heading out, regardless of quality.
- 01[02:15] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Even though it was not stated in any shape or form, the group views on their map that there is a long route that cuts close to a place called, 'The Hellfire City Ruins' with big letters next to it that read, 'SCAVENGE AT YOUR OWN RISK'. Mercy from Dune is more southwest, but the route does not head that way directly, as the Withered Woods with the Gaskinville Ruins within the Woods seperate the two settlements. If they were to follow the Route, they would see that it goes past 'Hellfire City Ruins' close to another settlement they've heard of past called, 'Howti' then straight to 'Mercy' itself.
- 01[02:15] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck refills his empty water bottle with irradiated water
- 06[02:17] * +Sour_Grape votes for heading straight through the woods with reckless abandon
- 06[02:18] * +Roy_Calbeck pores over the map. "It's only about a day's travel if we don't short-cut. Let's take th' long route."
- 06[02:20] * +Dust_Off considers the map, "I agree. Let's take the long route. Might take longer, but we'll be in better condition to help Mercy. We can investigate the short cut when we're not on the clock."
- 01[02:30] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 With their business done for the moment, the party treks forward once more in unexplored territory, their end-destination, 'Mercy'. With the majority agreeing to go the longer, safer route that is actually on the map itself, much to Sour_Grape's chagrin. Going south, past Wild Berry Juice's wrecked caravan site, which the wreckage long gone, the party spends the better half of the day passing the edge of the Withered Woods... the group can see to the west... the remaining tree line of the aptly named location... all the trees that stand are withered blackened husks of their former Pre-war glory. This is the same location that Dust_Off recalled sighting the leathery batwinged silhouettes she reported to the Steel Rangers. Dusk encroaching, with the party tired, they can see further south ruined structures, similar to those they saw in the Equinopia Ruins. For Sagittis, not being present for that time, can see large superstructures off on the horizon, with many much smaller, but still impressively sized buildings of Pre-war design in various states of disrepair and ruin. The dirt road has broken asphalt now leading to the ruins that they're fairly positive that are the 'Hellfire City Ruins'.
- 06[02:32] * +Dust_Off frowns, "Oh Murtaugh. No wonder the Withered Wood is so dangerous! That's where I saw the bloodwings. okay, we're NOT going that way...unless I'm heavily compensated and armored."
- 06[02:33] * +Sour_Grape is lazy and rests on Dust_Off's back. "Why not? Bet ah could kill'em."
- 06[02:33] * +Roy_Calbeck edges forward to take point on the road, his helmet on but flipped up for both shade and better vision. His service rifle scans back and forth across a steady arc, floating just beside his head like it was attached there.
- 06[02:36] * +Dust_Off had her helmet on and her swanky aviator glasses on. "Before they suck all the liquids from your body, leaving you a dessicated husk?"
- 01[02:36] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 As Roy_Calbeck takes point scanning the area with his service rifle level, Sour_Grape is the only pony amongst the group that can see the shifting of movement far off in the Withered Woods... many silhouettes moving about in a strange motion... Not only movement on the ground floor... but just below the non-existant treeline. The ruins to the far south are denser further to their southwest, the main road they're on seems to take them to a less dense section of the ruins... or perhaps not directly into the ruins themselves.
- [02:36] <+Dust_Off> "Desiccated meaning, dry and shriveled."
- 06[02:37] * +Sour_Grape "Well then ah wont drink anything for fighting them, duh." She notices the movement, "Looks like sumthin's movin' in there."
- 06[02:39] * +Dust_Off looks in the direction Sour_Grape indicates, "Hmmm...that...maybe Bloodwings. We need to move."
- 06[02:40] * +Roy_Calbeck tracks in that direction, looking for movement, pulling up short to take a better look.
- 01[02:43] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Having their attention directed to the woods, the party is late to hear the flapping of wings heading to their direction from the north.
- 06[02:45] * +Dust_Off snaps her head around and looks to the north.
- 06[02:45] * +Roy_Calbeck whirls around, bringing his rifle up.
- 06[02:45] * +Sour_Grape pulls out her shotgun and grins, "C'm an get some."
- 06[02:45] * +Slag_Heap flicks his switch on his saddle and the pilot light lights. "Game on."
- [02:47] <+Dust_Off> Though she assumes the worst, Dust_Off is kind of offended that her companions draw down at the sound of wings. Racists.
- 06[02:47] * +Sour_Grape is now racist against herself
- 06[02:47] * +Slag_Heap isn't racist. Just a soldier with itchy trigger teeth.
- 01[02:48] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Turning, the group sees large hulking furred great cats with batwings and scorpion stingers... the fur has fleshy, tumor like mutations riddling splotches on their body... once they turn the bat-winged leonine creatures, two of which can be seen, let loose thunderous roaring, both of which are very close to the group!
- 06[02:49] * +Dust_Off blinks, "Huh, manticores, didn't expect that..."
- 06[02:50] * +Roy_Calbeck grumbles, "Yeah, manticores." He sights in on the nearest...
- 06[02:50] * +Sour_Grape nods, "AIn't never seen a many-corn before. Wonder what they taste like."
- [02:50] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Chicken."
- 06[02:51] * +Slag_Heap growls. "Overgrown pussycats. Shits gon burn."
- [02:52] <+Dust_Off> "I've never had chicken, but they say every thing tastes like them." She unslings her Magical Energy Rifle.
- 12[02:57] * PantzArting is now known as Pantzar
- 01[03:01] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Being quite agile, the Manticores bear down on the group, the first reaching Slag_Heap and raking the cyber stallion across the chest with large powerful claws, the blow nearly knocking the heavy-set stallion down. Ouch! The next Manticore also rakes at Dust_Off... who goes right past Sagittis as if he wasn't there, raking the pegasexy across her chest. At the exact same moment another Manticore leaps from it's stalking cover, one that the group was unable to see and slashes at Dusty as well... however it tears a massive gouge across it's comrades face, causing it to let loose a pained roar of fury.
- 06[03:02] * +Slag_Heap gasps and growls, his armour taking most of the damage. "Fucker!"
- 06[03:04] * +Dust_Off grunts. Her ARMOR takes the brunt. "Why me?!"
- 06[03:05] * +Sour_Grape levels her shotgun at the minotaur that attacked Dust_Off and fires off two bursts, follow by a third single snap-shot ig the creature is not dead by then.
- 01[03:09] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Sour_Grape not willing to see the closest thing to a friend get bitch-slapped by these things takes fires off her hellish bursts of death, blowing off large chunks into the thick hide of the beast before Dust_Off, splattering both pegasi with vast amounts of wet, bloody, chunks of gore. Giving off a pained roaring that dies off once it's neck recieves a nasty hole in it, the Manticore staggers backwards, then falls to the ground lifeless, it's blood pouring out like a crimson river on the cracked asphalt.
- 06[03:10] * +Roy_Calbeck sights in on the tail of the one still on his Captain...
- 06[03:10] * +Sour_Grape spits out some blood that got in her mouth. "Fucking pussy."
- 01[03:19] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck fires off two hollow-point rounds at the stinger tail of the Manticore that still stands next to Dust_Off. Being an expert markspony, the bullets whiz by the mare and filly, pelting the monsterous beast right where he aims, causing it to twitch and garner a retalitory roaring in response, the creature looking none-too-happy by the handsome white stallions' actions.
- 01[03:19] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 The tail twitches, but otherwise remains upright, two leaking holes can be seen from the carapace.
- 06[03:21] * +Roy_Calbeck squints at the limited damage, then flips the selector to burst-mode.
- 06[03:24] * +Dust_Off glances at the living manticore and takes to the air. She flies back away from manticore behind the claw spong....other warriors, about twenty paces. She takes rolls her neck and takes two shots and snaps off a hurried one.
- 01[03:32] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Taking flight with Sour_Grape on her back, Dust_Off gets out to short range and fires off three shots, one in haste... one shot goes off with the second making a strange glitching sound, signalling another failure to activate, but comes up with a third shot, the two shots actually flying nail the Manticore that was previously shot from Roy_Calbeck in it's left front leg, the other the left hindleg, causing it to snarl out viciously, staring at the pegasus mare.
- 06[03:32] * +Sagittis casually walks out of close range and turns to the Manticore attacking Slag_Heap; saddles users get buggered in close quarters after all. First, he scans for purple thorns that may be making them cranky, failing to spot any, he hoses the manticore; and if he misses, Slag can take a 5mm better than Dust can.
- 06[03:34] * +Dust_Off looks at the Manticore, "No! Bad kitty!"
- 12[03:38] * HoboOut is now known as kicks
- 12[03:38] * kicks is now known as Hobo
- 02[03:39] * +Slag_Heap ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: Leaving)
- 12[03:39] * Hobo is now known as Slag_Heap
- 01[03:40] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Unloading an impressive spraying of lead from his minigun, Sagittis pelts the other Manticore standing next to Slag_Heap with impunity, only two of his rounds missing completely... with one round in particular whizzing by the cyberstallions face. Pelted in 3 times in the chest, twice in the right frontleg and one in the hindleg, the creature shakes and shudders, bleeding profusely from it's wounds... but still very much standing. Turning to the flufflecolt, the monsterous leonine creature bares it's teeth then let's loose one incredibly loud roaring. Something tells the zebra that he's done pissed it off.
- 06[03:45] * +Slag_Heap moves out of point blank range and turns, facing the beast. He fires off a burst from his LMG.
- 01[03:50] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Slag_Heap moves just outside of point blank range, finally able to test out his new prized toy by letting loose a loud barrage of shots that punch large holes in the already wounded Manticore that Sagittis had shot. Giving jolts and spasms from each kinetic hit, the creature gives another roaring, weaker this time, as it topples and careens over to it's side with wet heavy thudding, laying lifeless on the ground.
- 06[03:50] * +Slag_Heap laughs. "DAKKAAAAA!"
- 01[03:57] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 The remaining manticore snarls and hisses, it's damaged stinger twitching and shaking as he rears over on Slag_Heap and jabs him, hitting him dead on in the face, the barb injecting itself painfully into his cheek... the cyberstallion can taste something... horrendously disgusting... so much so it nearly causes him to vomit... the thin metal faceguard offering little protection in stopping the massive tail from hitting the bald pony. To his horror, Slag can feel his muscles begin to feel incredibly sluggish and non-responsive. Once done stinging, the Manticore rushes towards Roy_Calbeck managing to get within PB range, but not yet attacking the white stallion.
- 06[04:00] * +Sour_Grape jumps off of Dust_Off's back and glides through the air, stopping just short of the Manti-core so she could shoot two bursts into it because seriously fuck that guy.
- 01[04:04] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 Gliding and landing infront of the dangerously large beast which is easily 3 times the size of the tiny filly, Sour_Grape recklessly fires off two bursts, the tail end of her recoil being too much to handle for the little mint-al fiend as she blows more wet chunks of bloodied gore all over herself, causing the bat-winged monstrosity to give a yelping and fall over... part of the bloody spraying coats Roy_Calbeck with a fine red mist.
- 01[04:06] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 With the manticores slain, Slag_Heap can feel his body becoming more and more unresponsive... his muscles painfully feeling like they're seizing up on him in tight cramps.
- 06[04:06] * +Sour_Grape "And that, mares and gentlecolts, is how its done."
- 06[04:07] * +Slag_Heap takes off his helmet and shakes his head. He spits out whatever was giving him that taste and blinks a few times. "...Dusty..." He mutters and tries to raise a hoof. He falls on his rump. "I think
- 06[04:07] * +Roy_Calbeck nods to Sour, not noticing the gore coating him, and runs to Slag. "Medic!"
- [04:07] <+Slag_Heap> I'm poisoned."
- 06[04:07] * +Slag_Heap glorks.
- 01[04:08] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 A mix of blood and... highly fluorescent greenish yellow bile is spit out from the cyberpony... worse and worse, his intense cramping begins to lock his joints, his breathing becoming difficult.
- 06[04:08] * +Sour_Grape "Pff, walk it off. Thas what I did when ah got posined."
- 06[04:08] * +Dust_Off rushes over to Slag. She looks to Sagittis, "Do you have any antivenom?"
- 06[04:09] * +Slag_Heap weazes and falls on his side, stiff as a board.
- [04:10] <+Sagittis> me takes one out of his bag and gives it to Dust_Off. "Last one."
- 06[04:12] * +Dust_Off takes the antivenom and administers it to Slag_Heap, "Sagittis, harvest their stingers. We will need more."
- 06[04:12] * +Slag_Heap blehs
- 06[04:12] * +Sagittis does so.
- 06[04:12] * +Roy_Calbeck stands by, ready to help with his healing magic as best he can.
- 01[04:14] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 With that, we draw to a close on another glimpse into the cracked desert wastes of the Mareizona. Having slain an ambush of Manticores, the group will remain near the broken city ruins of a large Pre-war city. What further horrors await the party when we return? Will they reach Mercy in time before either the M.A.C. or N.P.L. will? Find out the answers to these questions on the upcoming sessions of Star Group, Fallout Equestria!
- 01[04:14] <@SilentPegasister|GM> 3 For lack of compassion for her comrade, Sour_Grape recieves -2 Karma.
