Piss_Poor_Group #7

[18:25:02]	Mad_Modd	our group lounged around Dr. Sawbones office for a few hours as she showed Ragebrew how to make 'Rad-Bee-Gone'. The raider filly still unconscious, twitching and mumbling in a fevered sleep as the machine continues to flush her system of chems. It is late afternoon by the time Rage and Sawbones are done...
[18:26:24]	Dr. Sawbones hoofes Ragebrew a small bag "Take these too. You brought us a lot of wax. It'll go along way to keep the ponies here healthy. Plus you never know what that bit o taint will do to ya"
[18:26:43]	Pocket_Lint	lies outside the cave, cloudgazing a bit.
[18:27:11]	Saddle_Burr	trots back into the office. "So...what's the deal with the filly? Is she gonna be alright?"
[18:27:33]	Long-shot	still lays next to the filly, her head on the bed by her side
[18:28:04]	Ragebrew	nodded as he picked up the bag, looking inside with a slight smile. "Thank ya Bones, I will be sure these see good use." He itched the splotch of discolored fur where the taint had landed. "Aye... But like ya said, I am not dead yet, so anything else that comes up will be a walk in the park compared to it." He looked over at Long-shot and the filly. "Three's been proving a problem, doc?"
[18:29:10]	Mad_Modd	the good doctor trots up and opens one of the fillies eyes, shining a flashlight in it a few times before setting it down "Can't say. She'll live but there mite be long term side effects. Wont know till she's done though"
[18:30:08]	Ragebrew	"Nothing more long term than dead. So long as she's not a drooling sack of flesh, I count this as a small victory. We're gonna need to figure out what to do with her once she's awake. Doubt she is gonna be happy about this."
[18:30:21]	Saddle_Burr	"What are you gonna do with her when she's finished with the treatment? Keep her here?"
[18:30:42]	Ragebrew	"She's our ward, Saddle. We need to figure that out."
[18:30:52]	Long-shot	looks up shyly "I'd... like to take care of her if I can..."
[18:31:43]	Merciful_Devotion	snorts softly, lifting her head from its resting place against the wall. "Huh? Wha?"
[18:31:57]	Mad_Modd	"No idea. Mite put her to work here in town if you're not gunna take her. I could always use an assistant. Even if she's a raider she's young enough to be taught to do better"
[18:32:23]	Ragebrew	"That was a given, Long-shot. I figure out of all of us, Mercy and you are the only ones suitable to try and raise a filly. Doubt we'd want a little version of me running around."
[18:33:05]	Mad_Modd	Amethyst squeaks from ontop of Ragebrews head
[18:33:08]	Long-shot	mutters quietly "I do..."
[18:33:20]	Saddle_Burr	looks at the doc, then at Long-shot. "Well, we can't leave her to the Wastes, but are you sure we have enough supplies to feed a filly?"
[18:33:51]	Merciful_Devotion	blinks. "You think I can raise a filly?"
[18:33:58]	Ragebrew	scritches Amethyst. "Ya don't count, little gem."
[18:34:07]	Long-shot	"I dunno.. I'd do as best I can though"
[18:35:14]	Ragebrew	shrugged, looking over at Merciful. "Ya were a filly once. Figure ya'd have a better idea of their thinking."
[18:35:28]	Saddle_Burr	"Well, I don't think the ponies of Busted Flats will take kindly to a raider filly living among them."
[18:36:47]	Ragebrew	"I doubt they can afford another mouth to feed, even if she worked to earn her keep."
[18:37:18]	Saddle_Burr	"Yeah...I'm sorry, Long, but I think it'd be better to leave her here."
[18:38:43]	Ragebrew	"Regardless of what we do with her in the long run, there is still the matter of getting some information about where these raiders are coming from, numbers, weaponry, leader... Age... I can be cold, but even I got a problem with the idea of purging an entire den of rogue fillies and colts."
[18:39:17]	Merciful_Devotion	"Aww... Can I at least meet her before we go?"

[18:41:26]	Mad_Modd	the little raider is sweating and mumbling something about candy...
[18:41:27]	Saddle_Burr	nods. "Yeah, I doubt it'll do any harm. Rage is right, though. We gotta find out where those fillies got the wagon from."
[18:41:58]	Ragebrew	"If we take her with us, Saddle and I will need to forage a bit more often, now with seven mouths to feed and water. But she may prove to be very useful in the future, so it's a toss up. At least Bones offered to take her in, which ya have my thanks for, Bones."
[18:43:00]	Saddle_Burr	"Yeah, thanks. You should be careful, though. She can be a nuisance."
[18:43:11]	Long-shot	runs a hoof along the fillies coat "It's okay now.. it's okay..." she holds in a tear
[18:43:18]	Ragebrew	"So can Amethyst. But that's half the fun of raising a young one, isn't it?"
[18:43:25]	Mad_Modd	"Don't mention it."
[18:43:31]	Saddle_Burr	chuckles."
[18:44:29]	Ragebrew	"We still have a day, maybe two left of treatment left, I imagine. We should see if there are any odd jobs that require our certain set of skills, and our total disregard for personnel safety."
[18:45:11]	"Also something I was meaning to ask, what's with the redesigning going on underground? Lotta new walls since the last couple days. Any ideas, Bones?"
[18:46:03]	Merciful_Devotion	blinks at Ragebrew. "Lack of personal safety?"
[18:46:32]	Saddle_Burr	whispers at Mercy: "His disregard, not ours."
[18:46:43]	Ragebrew	grins. "I exposed myself to raw taint to ensure that we could get a hefty sum of wax back. Ponies pay good caps for that kinda of insanity."
[18:46:51]	Mad_Modd	Dr. Sawbones raises an eyebrow "Redesign? What are you talking about?"
[18:47:16]	Merciful_Devotion	facehoofs. "What have I gotten into..."
[18:47:51]	Saddle_Burr	"Don't worry, ma'am. We'll keep you safe. me and my rifle."
[18:47:52]	Ragebrew	looksed at Sawbones, and blinked. "Eh, looked like they were going a bit of interior redecoration since last time I was in here. But then again, I was coming down off an adrenaline rush, and had suffered quite a lot of blood loss. Maybe I was just seeing things wrong."
[18:48:45]	pats Merciful on the shoulder, grinning from ear to ear. "Don't worry ma'am. Ya just need to cover my flank while I get into the thick of it. Anything really hazardous, just leave to me. Haven't found anything that can kill me yet."
[18:51:21]	Ragebrew	"Well, Bones, ya know of any merc work we could drum up? Or shall we just be setting our roots down for a few days until Three wakes up again?"
[18:51:37]	Merciful_Devotion	shakes her head. "You ponies are crazy, aren't you... At least the little unicorn mare over there's sensible... I think."
[18:52:00]	Saddle_Burr	"We could go out and scout that raider base."
[18:52:09]	Long-shot	cries into the fillies coat "I-I'll try to come back and see you again, I promise!" she weeps into her
[18:53:00]	Mad_Modd	"If you need work you could ask that old stallion by the front gate it anything needs doing."
[18:53:22]	Ragebrew	0x01ACTION nods vigorously. "Oh yes. I've been quite mad for quite some time. But it's alright, we are mostly harmless." He moved over to Long-shot, giving her a hug, making sure not to let his tainted coat touch her. "Don't worry, we'll be back in a day or two at most. And that's if we don't get some work. If we don't, sure Bones doesn't mind letting ya use a bed, provided she doesn't need it." He looked to Bones and nodded. "Thank ya m
[18:53:39]	Ragebrew	looked to Bones and nodded "Thank ya ma'am, we'll have words with him."
[18:54:37]	Saddle_Burr	starts walking out of the clinic. "We should also try and see if we can find out anything about the MAS hub."
[18:54:49]	Long-shot	keeps into her fur "T-Thanks Rage.. I feel better" she wipes a tear away "You Promise?" looks at him hopefully
[18:56:04]	Merciful_Devotion	blinks. "MAS?"
[18:56:49]	Ragebrew	looked to Mercy and nodded. "There is that option. But I have no idea where it is, what is in it, or what sort of defenses would be there. All we have is a few documents and a note from a dying buck."
[18:56:50]	Saddle_Burr	"Ministry of Arcane Sciences, I think it was called."
[18:57:30]	Long-shot	looks up to Saddle "Wha.. not there..."
[18:57:41]	Ragebrew	grins, looking to Long-shot "That I do. If nothing else, we will be her patrons from afar, making sure her life is as easy as it can be in the Waste, if she can not travel with us."
[18:57:58]	Long-shot	hugs Ragebrew
[18:58:00]	Saddle_Burr	blinks at Long-shot. "What do you mean?"
[18:58:41]	Long-shot	looks to Saddle "Personally... I think there is a chance that it will be... fortified some"
[18:59:41]	Ragebrew	blinked a few times before itching the tainted splotch with vigor. "Whatcha mean, Long? Ya got an idea where it is?"
[18:59:56]	Saddle_Burr	"Well, it most likely is. From what I've heard, those Ministry places were kind of a big deal."
[19:00:22]	Long-shot	"That's what I heard Saddle, which is why I think it could be tough"
[19:01:16]	Saddle_Burr	"Well, we don't even know where it is, so we should at least try to find out something about it."
[19:01:18]	Merciful_Devotion	"Maybe we could find some useful stuff though..."
[19:01:29]	Ragebrew	"Which is why I'd rather not go charging in with a set of shoddy riot armor, a thump gun which will boune off armor, and a bunch of pea shooters."
[19:02:15]	Pocket_Lint	grows bored and scrounges around his pack...the buck sorts out his posessions...when he comes across the bottle of booze he found earlier. Looked like his friends would take a while, so he popped it open and chugged into it.
[19:02:52]	Long-shot	"I know where the hub is..." mutters
[19:03:10]	Saddle_Burr	stops dead in his tracks! "What?!"
[19:03:24]	Merciful_Devotion	perks up,
[19:03:42]	Ragebrew	nodded, not looking too phased. "Figure the Steels would have maps of pre-war facilities."
[19:03:48]	Long-shot	looks down "It's West..."
[19:04:11]	Saddle_Burr	"Why didn't you tell us before?"
[19:07:00]	Merciful_Devotion	blinkblinks.
[19:11:45]	trots off to find the bathroom
[19:14:12]	Long-shot	nervous laughs "I... saw it on a pre-war map"
[19:15:21]	Saddle_Burr	"Well, why didn't you say so? I've been trying to find out anything about this hub for days now!"
[19:16:16]	Long-shot	turns around and sits next to the filly looking at her carefully
[19:18:01]	Saddle_Burr	tilts his head at Long-shot. "Well?"
[19:18:58]	|<--	PuppehLurk has left luna.canternet.org (Quit: Leaving)
[19:19:10]	Long-shot	"I just... remembered it" keeps staring to the filly
[19:20:11]	Saddle_Burr	"Uh huh...and where did you see this map? In a Ranger base?"
[19:20:37]	Long-shot	"Yes"
[19:21:43]	Saddle_Burr	sighs. "Well, is there anything else you know about it?"
[19:22:39]	Ragebrew	nodded. "Aye information would be very handy. Rather not go in blind."
[19:22:41]	Long-shot	"It's not fun to get to..." sighs looking at the filly "Just... give me some time with her" nuzles her lightly
[19:23:22]	Saddle_Burr	sighs again. "Fine...I'll go check on the wagon." he groans as he walks out of the clinic.
[19:25:00]	Ragebrew	shrugged. "Oh, but ya know I have a warped view of fun. Now, I got an old buck to pick for work."
[19:25:11]	Mad_Modd	Saddle checks the fuel tank and can see that it is almost empty
[19:29:30]	-->|	Vieral ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
[19:33:38]	Ragebrew	tips his hat to Sawbones, and headed back into the mine, off towards the front entrance. It was fairly hard to move at a good speed, moving with three legs. The other was scratching against his leg. "Great... Exposed to the worst of the waste, and it feels like I got fleas..."
[19:35:56]	Pocket_Lint	hicks happily into his spot. "Hey, a moving pillow." He snerks a little.
[19:40:08]	Saddle_Burr	finishes checking on the wagon and heads for the trading post, needing some refueling, himself.
[19:41:24]	Mad_Modd	the store clerk waves happily and quickly help Saddle with what he needs
[19:50:32]	Saddle_Burr	finishes his shopping spree and hauls the fuel back to the wagon.
[19:52:03]	Ragebrew	finally makes it to the front gate, eye twitching furiously as he resisted the urge to itch himself. "Oi, gray mane, Sawbones said to talk to ya about possible merc work. We're gonna be in town for a few more days, and I figure I might as well try to earn those caps back from ya."
[19:54:32]	Mad_Modd	the old stallion turns "Oh! Thought you died a taint. Hmm... looking fer work now? Well you could always go take down that ol manticore. Things got a hundred cap bounty on it's head"
[19:55:55]	Ragebrew	blinked a few times. "A hundred caps for a manticore? Doesn't sound like ya find many takers with that."
[19:57:11]	Mad_Modd	he shrugs "Well we ain't rich and when tha bounty was put out it was a bit smaller"
[19:59:08]	Ragebrew	nodded. "No ones rich around here. Just how it goes." He looked back down the tunnel. "I ain't the pony to talk brass tacks with. Lemme get Mercy." And off he went back to the clinic to fetch the two pairs. "Oi! We got some work. Manticore slaying, but they are only offering 100 caps. Mercy, work yer magic."
[19:59:37]	Ragebrew	"Long-shot, that filly is comatose. She isn't going anywhere. Get off yer plot and lets go hunting."
[19:59:56]	Pocket_Lint	shakes his head. "As if...we'd best look out for something else, ain't getting my funeral over a few caps."
[20:00:39]	Long-shot	nods and gets up whispering "I'll be back" to the filly on her way out looking a bit sad
[20:00:45]	Ragebrew	"Also consider what our good dragoness would offer up for a nice manticore corpse."
[20:01:38]	Pocket_Lint	"Haven't you heard me, Rage? Its a manticore...I've read about those fuckers, they were dangerous...and with the radiation, they're probably much worse."
[20:02:08]	Ragebrew	"Also, never know what it might have in it's lair. We're five well armed, fairly skilled ponies against one abomination. So long as it keeps its attention on me, we're golden. Plus, I'd like to make a cape out of manticore wings."
[20:02:22]	Pocket_Lint	" 'sides...aren't they poisonous?"
[20:02:57]	Ragebrew	"If we kill some rad scorps along the way, I can make some anti toxins before we go for it. I need to check for herbs and water anyway."
[20:03:17]	Pocket_Lint	shakes his head vigorously. "Fuck it, that's downright suicidal."
[20:04:01]	Ragebrew	trots back off to the gray maned guard pony. "Then don't come along, increase the risk of us dying in the attempt, and miss yer cut of the spoils should we succeed."
[20:04:24]	Pocket_Lint	shrugs.
[20:05:16]	Ragebrew	"Plus yer marefriend is coming along with. Would ya like to be a widower so early in yer relationship?" He gnawed at his shoulder, ever so often. "Fucking flea flavored taint..."
[20:05:38]	Saddle_Burr	looks up from the wagon, seeing Ragebrew trotting towards the gate. "Hey, wait up. Got anything for us?"
[20:06:14]	Pocket_Lint	spits. "She isn't my marefriend...I don't care squat for her...or your stupid pet."
[20:06:20]	Ragebrew	"Manticore hunting. 100 caps before we get Mercy to have a few choice words. Ya game for a little biggest game hunting?"
[20:07:06]	Ragebrew	looks at Pocket with a chuckle. "Rather ya not call my adopted daughter a pet. As for not caring, ya sure don't act like it."
[20:07:53]	Pocket_Lint	stares at Ragebrew. "Say what you will, I'm looking for a job with more future prospects."
[20:08:53]	Saddle_Burr	ponders while trotting along. "Hmmm...I've never hunted a manticore before. Its tail might look good on my wall."
[20:09:37]	Ragebrew	laughed. Loud and long, echoing off the mine face. It took him a full minute to subside. "Future? Ya think ya got a future down here?! Ya got now! Ya got what is infront of ya, and what ya know about. Ya could die at any time, in any horrible number of ways, in the most pitiful of ways! If ya want future prospects, ya need to tear 'em outta the waste with yer teeth!"
[20:09:59]	Pocket_Lint	yawns.
[20:10:10]	Pocket_Lint	"You done, gramps?"
[20:11:28]	Long-shot	twitches and follows staying quiet
[20:12:08]	Ragebrew	glared at the pegasus. "Very well then. If ya wanna sit on yer ass and piss away what little caps ya have to yer name, have at. I see a bounty I can harvest in a number of ways. Even if they only a hundred caps, I can make a single manticore be worth a thousand."
[20:13:07]	Pocket_Lint	shrugs. "If you want to kill off your ass for twenty caps plus a few baubles, fine, go ahead...take those caps and shove them up your arse. I'm looking for something else."
[20:13:19]	Long-shot	tail flicks, she checks her gun and puts it in her bags, keeps trotting towards the gate
[20:13:33]	Ragebrew	"Ya seem to forget, they collect stuff, their hides are very exotic, their meat is plentiful, and I know a dragon who offers parts of her horde for fresh kills."
[20:13:51]	Pocket_Lint	"You forget that it can freaking kill you, period."
[20:13:53]	Saddle_Burr	"Come on, we've faced smart geckos and raiders together. We can do this, too."
[20:14:04]	Ragebrew	"Only if I try to face it alone."
[20:14:23]	Pocket_Lint	"I'm off, there's a line between bravery and stupidity."
[20:14:37]	Ragebrew	"Yeah, I cross the stupid line so you can stay on the brave line."
[20:15:01]	Pocket_Lint	"Say what you wanna, I'm not going."
[20:15:39]	Saddle_Burr	"Alright, how about we see what else is there to do, and go after the manticore if nothing else shows up?"
[20:16:07]	Pocket_Lint	nods. "I was about to go see the mayor to check for other jobs..."
[20:16:15]	Ragebrew	"They said the bounty was placed on it when it was young as well. It might not be full grown."
[20:16:43]	Pocket_Lint	"Ask the guard how many ponies took that bounty as well and didn't returned..."
[20:17:48]	Ragebrew	chuckled. "I'd be surprised if anypony has taken it. It is a manticore, after all. I want Mercy to have words with him. Sure she can get a lot more out of the deal than I ever could."
[20:18:35]	Pocket_Lint	shakes his head in discontent. "So, if you're done fucking around...I'm off to see the mayor."
[20:19:14]	Ragebrew	nodded. "Enjoy, I am gonna go looting the local plants and water supplies while Mercy takes her time."

[20:19:23]	Saddle_Burr	sighs and looks at Rage. "Let's just wait until he comes back. He might have something better for us."
[20:19:28]	Pocket_Lint	goes to see the mayor
[20:20:13]	Ragebrew	called over his shoulder "Don't worry, I'll be brief. Might try to crump a rac scorp or two for some anti venoms though."
[20:23:29]	Saddle_Burr	nods. "Alright, I'll stay here and see how things turn out."
[20:23:31]	Merciful_Devotion	trots back from the bathroom, giggling softly.
[20:24:10]	Saddle_Burr	looks curiously at Merciful Devotion. "What're you laughing at?"
[20:25:57]	Merciful_Devotion	smiles innocently. "Noothiin'~
[20:27:14]	Saddle_Burr	chuckles a little. "Alright then...that old guard pony by the gate asked us to hunt down a manticore for a hundred caps. Think you could get us a little better price for it?"
[20:28:25]	Pocket_Lint	trots up to the mayor, smiling a bit. "Afternoon'. "
[20:29:14]	Mad_Modd	he blinks "What you need wings?"
[20:29:39]	it is the old stallion at the door
[20:30:06]	Merciful_Devotion	grins. "Probably~ How much you want me to shoot for?"
[20:30:10]	Pocket_Lint	"My buds and I are after some mercwork...they've got your bounty for a manticore, but...we are kinda looking for options here, ya know?"
[20:30:24]	Long-shot	lays down in a corner, facing towards it waiting
[20:31:02]	Saddle_Burr	hmmms... "Could you make it double?"
[20:31:53]	Mad_Modd	rubs his chin "Hmmm... could always use food and scrap. Haven't had as many scavengers come by lately"
[20:32:50]	Pocket_Lint	nods. "You got any particular spots around you want us to scout off and "harvest"?"
[20:32:53]	Merciful_Devotion	nods. "Probably. I'll do the best I can!"

[20:34:03]	Saddle_Burr	smiles. "Great! Go get them caps!"
[20:39:56]	Merciful_Devotion	nods and saunters up to the guard, putting on her charm.
[20:40:28]	Mad_Modd	Ragebrew finds many useful things in foraging, even some fresh water!
[20:42:44]	"Harvest? Naw wings, just bring us what you find. We'll trade ya caps or ammo or somethin for it. Just don't expect a lot"
[20:43:09]	Pocket_Lint	nods. "Seems good...we'll keep an eye pen."

[20:43:46]	|<--	Vieral has left luna.canternet.org (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
	Pocket_Lint	trots off to the rest of the group. "Well, ain't much on our options so..." He sighs. "Guess we're off to hunt a manticore."
[20:44:04]	Mad_Modd	he slaps Pocket on the back "Thanks wings, yer a life saver"
[20:44:27]	Pocket_Lint	smiles back at the buck. "Don't mention it."
[20:45:12]	Saddle_Burr	nods. "Alright then. Now we just have to wait for Rage to come back. Mercy just went in to negotiate a better price for us."
[20:46:02]	Pocket_Lint	nods. "Yea...I'll...just go ask something to the mayor."
[20:46:57]	trots back to the dude. "Say, about that mine...place looks pretty deep. Any clue on what the prewar ponies were mining for?"
[20:47:53]	Merciful_Devotion	gets the guards attention. "Hello, sir? Could I ask you something?"
[20:48:24]	Mad_Modd	he turns and smiles "My I'm populat taday. What ya need?"
[20:50:12]	Merciful_Devotion	smiles brightly at him. "I was wondering if you could possibly spare me and my friends another hundred caps, for killing that nasty manticore you want us to? Anything you can spare would help, but we /really/ need the extra right now~"
[20:55:21]	Mad_Modd	the old timer blushes hotly "For a pretty filly like you. I'll give you two hundred twenty five. I'll even give you some up front... for a little kiss"
[20:56:36]	Merciful_Devotion	covers her mouth with a hoof and giggles. "D'aww... Sure, since you're paying up front~"

[21:01:41]	Saddle_Burr	stares at the sight of what's happening at the gate.
[21:02:14]	Pocket_Lint	stands near Saddle_Burr, and, as usual, doesn't give much of a flying fuck.
[21:02:46]	Madshine	he breaks the kiss "WOOO! Been a while and by the look of ya I still got it." he lets her go and gives her a small sack "Here bout half. Now you be careful and come back"

[21:04:09]	Merciful_Devotion	giggles and puts the sack away safely. "That you do sir~ Thanks!" She saunters back to the group, grinning wide.
[21:04:43]	Saddle_Burr	blinkblinks at Mercy! "Well now! You really got it!"
[21:05:11]	Madshine	he stares longingly at Mercy's flank as she leaves
[21:06:01]	Merciful_Devotion	nods, pulling out the sack. "Got half upfront too~"
[21:06:13]	Ragebrew	trots back, a look of glee slapped on his face, even if it was marred by a slight grimace as he itched his mane furiously. "What I miss?"
[21:06:18]	Pocket_Lint	nods as he looks at the bag.
[21:06:37]	Saddle_Burr	/me grins at Rage! "You missed
[21:07:06]	Saddle_Burr	grins at Rage! "You missed Mercy getting us a double price for the manticore, and half the sum paid up front!"
[21:08:00]	Merciful_Devotion	shakes her head. "Hundred and twentyfive, Saddle~"
[21:08:35]	Saddle_Burr	fights the urge to hug Mercy right now!
[21:08:37]	Ragebrew	nodded. "Good good. Maybe that'll entice Pocket to join us on this little adventure. Did you happen to ask where its hunting grounds were?"
[21:09:09]	Merciful_Devotion	facehoofs. "D'oh!"
[21:10:28]	Madshine	the old timer trots up "It's huntin grounds are to the south. Keep an eye to the sky, it likes to drop in on it's prey"
[21:10:37]	=-=	Project_86shine is now known as Project_wire86shine
[21:11:10]	Saddle_Burr	"Thanks, pops. We'll get back to you once we've hunted it down."
[21:11:13]	Ragebrew	"I think we'd best leave the buggy here. That rattletrap would let it know where we are from a mile away, and that's if it's deaf and blind."
[21:11:48]	Saddle_Burr	"Yeah. Better sneak up on it. Maybe find its lair and set up an ambush."
[21:12:09]	Merciful_Devotion	nods. "Sounds smart."
[21:12:16]	Pocket_Lint	"You shoulda find a way to clip its wings..."
[21:12:36]	Ragebrew	"A couple well placed shots might be enough. Or I serve as bait."
[21:13:36]	Ragebrew	hums, and taps his hoof to his chin for a moment, before scratching at his scruff. "I also have that frag mine. We could try a booby trap on it. Get a good carcass, set the mine under it. Be a nasty surprise."
[21:14:26]	Pocket_Lint	"You're already going to hunt radscorpions, could use their bodies..."
[21:14:37]	Saddle_Burr	"I also have a gecko trap with me. That should render it immobile for a moment at least."
[21:14:57]	Ragebrew	"A moment is all it takes for us to spring from ambush and turn it's wing's to tatters."

[21:15:49]	Saddle_Burr	"I think I saw some hollow-point ammo at the post. I'll go get them before we leave."
[21:15:50]	Ragebrew	"A couple corpses, a couple traps, and a whole lot of lead. Between the five of us, I imagine we can cripple it before it notices us."
[21:16:10]	"Don't. Their hides are thick are cured leather. Kinda like a radscorp, but worse."
[21:16:27]	Saddle_Burr	"Ah, hmmm..."
[21:16:48]	Merciful_Devotion	"Standard might be better... Or AP..."

[21:18:35]	Merciful_Devotion	blinks. "Oh... Nevermind then!"
[21:18:43]	Ragebrew	"I have some caps to spend, I will be back in just a moment. " The buck quickly galloped off to the general store, full intent to spend more caps on supplies than he would earn for the bounty. Oh well. "Quickly, I want everything that goes boom, bang, or explodes."
[21:19:07]	Saddle_Burr	"Well, let's get everything ready. Meet back at the buggy in half an hour, okay?"
[21:19:39]	Mad_Modd	the store clerk hoofs him what little they have in the way of explosives
[21:20:41]	Merciful_Devotion	nods. "I'll see if I can scrounge up a few more caps or ammo from some of the locals... Maybe get a little fun in it while I'm there~"
[21:21:05]	Ragebrew	quickly exchange caps for splody doom, and hustles out the shop with a thank you and a good day, before pulling out the ammo case full of wonderful scavenged goods. "Time for a mixing!"
[21:21:42]	Pocket_Lint	shrugs. "Do as you please." He flies off to the buggy, somewhat bothered by the events today...
[21:22:03]	Saddle_Burr	backs off! "Hey, be careful! We don't want to blow up before getting out of town!"
[21:22:52]	Long-shot	pulls herself together and decides to trot to the buggy slowly
[21:22:53]	Ragebrew	waves his hoof dismissively at Saddle "Don't worry, I didn't find anything too flammable. But I'll brew well away from the buggy. I am sure it'd explode if ya looked at it crosseyed."
[21:23:44]	Saddle_Burr	nods and starts dismantling his rifles for cleaning, glancing worriedly at Ragebrew every now and then.
[21:24:18]	Pocket_Lint	is a bored pony, could definately use a book.
[21:24:36]	Ragebrew	chuckled at Mercy, biting back any comment as he went about preparing his alchemy kit, beginning to hume that familiar tune. In a hushed whisper he said "Hey witch doctor, tell us the magic words..."
[21:26:21]	Merciful_Devotion	trots into town, her tail and mane bouncing.
[21:29:41]	Pocket_Lint	decides to fly off to scout the town surroundings again, but staying far from the southern reaches.
[21:29:52]	=-=	Sick18Carrot is now known as Better18Carrot
[21:30:11]	Mad_Modd	Mercy is all but ignored by the few locals who are out. Most seem to be getting ready to eat
[21:30:59]	Ragebrew	takes some of the truly titanic specimens of medicinal herbs he found, three healthy, bushy springs, and begins to snip and clip the leaves,s tems and roots into his pot, stirring it together. He added some blue for effect.
[21:37:40]	Mad_Modd	Ragebrew almost botches most of the potions but with some careful work he manages to save the potion
[21:38:03]	Pocket_Lint finds a skeleton with a sack laying next to it
[21:38:42]	Pocket_Lint	swoops down to examine it better, it was a skeleton of what? Was there something else besides the sack around?
[21:39:03]	Ragebrew	"Damn tempermental hot pad. I swear I need to get a new one..." He scrounged up some empty bottles, and set the batch aside, along with the pair of anti venoms. "Lets hope we don't need these..."
[21:39:43]	Mad_Modd	it is a pony skeleton sitting on a rock, and the sack seems to have just shrunk a bit
[21:40:31]	Pocket_Lint	pokes the sack with his bat, flopping the contents out.
[21:41:24]	Mad_Modd	a few cans of cram and a single bottle of Brawndo roll out
[21:41:49]	Merciful_Devotion	trots back with a pout. "Nopony wanted to talk to me..."
[21:42:06]	Pocket_Lint	takes the food and the drink as well...also, the sack.
[21:42:30]	Ragebrew	looks up from his alchemy set as he put it away. "Well, most ponies don't fancy meeting strangers."
[21:42:41]	Saddle_Burr	looks up from his work. "Well, sit down. I'd love to have some company."
[21:42:50]	Pocket_Lint	flies back to the group.
[21:43:02]	Long-shot	sits in a corner going over her plan
[21:43:33]	Mad_Modd	by the time Pocket returns, the sun has set behind the cloud cover
[21:46:20]	Ragebrew	finished with his alchemy, and began his cooking. Grilled brahmin steaks, with sauteed mushrooms, servered on a bed of crisp edible grass, with half a prickly pear on the side. He kept humming his little tune as he minced up the meal. "I love meeting strangers, so long as they don't shoot at me."
[21:51:16]	Saddle_Burr	looks up when Pocket arrives. "Welcome back. It's getting dark, so we'd better stay here for the night and go hunting in the morning."
[21:52:00]	Merciful_Devotion	shrugs. "Still..."
[21:52:05]	Ragebrew	served the meal up like he did so many times before, setting Amethyst on the ground to eat. "Aye. It'll be hard to find it's den during the night. But also, we'll be easier to see during the day. Maybe scout during the day, try to find its den, and attack at dusk?"
[21:52:36]	Saddle_Burr	"I dunno, it might sneak up on us in the dark."
[21:53:17]	Pocket_Lint	nodded to Saddle_Burr and served himself from some of the meal. "Sure thing...traveling on the dark is a terrible idea."
[21:53:37]	Mad_Modd	Amethyst quickly eats her food, and crawls up onto Long-shots head, falling asleep snuggled up in her mane
[21:53:42]	Long-shot	goes and sits next to Amy finding her presence comforting
[21:53:43]	Merciful_Devotion	eats some, glancing over at Long-shot.
[21:53:57]	Long-shot	smiles as Amy
[21:54:19]	Ragebrew	"There is some safety in the darkness. But there are also many risk. Waiting until the morn seems wisest though. Maybe this itch will die down. Or I will die. Who knows, this taint business is annoying."
[21:54:32]	Long-shot	smiles and purrs "Night to you too Amy"
[21:55:03]	Saddle_Burr	"Alright, let's get up early and scout the den in the morning."
[21:55:30]	Merciful_Devotion	yawns and lies down. "Sounds like a plan..."
[21:56:14]	Ragebrew	"I know manticores are most active during the day, when they can see prey from on the wing. If we went during the day, we'd have to keep our eyes pointing up most of the time. But that is something we will save for the morning."
[21:57:28]	Long-shot	ate being careful not to disturb Amy
[21:59:09]	Ragebrew	ate slowly, savoring the meal. "We will need to go in with a plan, but we can't ignore the chance it could just come visit us as we travel." He licked clean his plate before cleaning it with a hoofful of sand and a mostly clean rag.
[21:59:54]	Pocket_Lint	ate his meal quietly, then went off to a spot and lied down on his own, shivering slightly.
[22:00:00]	Ragebrew	set the dish back on the alchemy set, and yawned. "For now, sleep is in order. I will see ya in the morning. If ya need more, I'll be sleeping under the buggy."
[22:00:45]	Saddle_Burr	nods. "G'night!"
[22:00:52]	Ragebrew	trotted off and slipped under the buggy. Soon the ragged sound of his snoring rang out from underneath the machine. It sounded almost as bad as the engine...
[22:01:17]	Long-shot	"Rage.. is there a chance I can go to the filly?"
[22:01:27]	Merciful_Devotion	glances over at Pocket, frowning a bit as she watches him.
[22:02:34]	Ragebrew	snorted, and banged his head on the chassis. "Ow... Aye, sleep where ya like. Ya don't need to ask my permission where ya wanna pass out. Just be ready in the morning."
[22:02:48]	Pocket_Lint	raised from his spot and troted in circles, not comfy.
[22:03:01]	Long-shot	smiles and trots to the filly with Amy asleep in her mane
[22:03:30]	-->|	Vieral ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
[22:03:51]	Merciful_Devotion	"You okay there Pocket?"
	Mad_Modd	the group is once again allowed to sleep under the overhang of the shop. Ragebrew not sleeping well, tossing and turning all night. Plagued by terrible nightmares and pain from the taint.
[22:05:04]	Pocket_Lint	lays back again and looks at Merciful_Devotion, nodding. "yea, just...a bit cold." The pink armor really didn't helped.
[22:08:03]	Mad_Modd	our group is still waiting on there captive raider filly to finish her detox. They have been asked to go and collect a bounty on a local manticore that has been bothering Swirlston for some time. What is happening to Ragebrew? Where are they going? What the hell was I thinking when I gave them a vehicle!?
[22:08:21]	Ragebrew	cracked his eyes open slowly as the first few beams of "dawn" crept under the buggy. With a low groan, he began to pull himself out from underneath the buggy, his eyes still clouded with sleep. He rose slowly before blinking a few times, pushing some of his mane out of his eyes. Wait.. His mane was green, not red...
[22:08:32]	Mad_Modd	the party receives 400xp for RP and stuff
[22:10:35]	Ragebrew looks different... his coat is long and... fluffy...
[22:12:46]	Ragebrew	0x01ACTION just looked over his strange jutting fur, his brain still too blurry from the night of ill rest before. Eventually, his mind found some form of awareness, and then it spewed out a litany of profanity that would make even the most hardened of raiders think he needed to have his mouth cleaned out with soap. "OH ALL THE SISTER BLIGHTED CURSES THAT COULD BE INFLICTED UPON ME, I GET TO BE A FUCKING PILLOW?!" Was the only thing that
[22:14:21]	Ragebrew	thundered off into the wastes, screaming his lungs and throat to tatters, no fucks given for the unduly woken folks above ground. And possibly below ground. They could most likely hear him on the wind in Busted Flats...
[22:15:26]	Mad_Modd	the usual guards snicker at Ragebrew, finding it quite amusing
