(1:11:50 PM) Gnash: BerryAwayuSeaStartWithoutMe, DST should be in effect there now, shouldn't it?
(1:12:05 PM) BerryAwayuSeaStartWithoutMe: i don't think that GMT moves

(1:15:58 PM) Umbra: Well, he is not in the shadows here, I would have spotted him
(1:16:05 PM) AtomBell: Hey Umbra
(1:16:12 PM) Umbra: G'morning
(1:17:15 PM) Umbra: So, what happened last session? I haven't found time to skim the log
(1:18:18 PM) AtomBell: Uh
(1:18:38 PM) AtomBell: Specter dropped things on you while you slept, then we left to go see what was up with the Red Cross
(1:18:54 PM) Geldnir: ^
(1:18:59 PM) Umbra: Anything particularly noteworthy occur?
(1:19:17 PM) AtomBell: Nope, Umbra probably has a sore head

(1:26:08 PM) AtomBell: Gnash is up, healthy, and ready to knock over a mail box or something
(1:26:35 PM) Geldnir: And Berry got a sheep plushy.
(1:27:45 PM) AtomBell: Shaun

(1:32:45 PM) MisterNinja [[email protected]] entered the room.
(1:32:58 PM) MisterNinja is now known as SilentSpecter
(1:33:36 PM) AtomBell: Specter!
(1:33:47 PM) SilentSpecter: fucking overslept
(1:34:02 PM) Golden_Breeze: Kkat: have you met Clusterbuck and Poly?
(1:34:13 PM) Kkat: I don't think so.
(1:34:39 PM) SilentSpecter: what happened to my auto voice?
(1:34:42 PM) SilentSpecter: D:
(1:34:49 PM) Golden_Breeze: Thouse two have so much d'aaw it should be a war crime.
(1:34:53 PM) SilentSpecter: I liked that.
(1:35:24 PM) FridgePracticing is now known as Fridge
(1:35:47 PM) Kkat: which game/fic?
(1:36:06 PM) Golden_Breeze: Crossroads.
(1:36:13 PM) SilentSpecter: the breakoff RP.
(1:36:32 PM) Kkat: ?
(1:36:33 PM) Clockwork is now known as GCAT
(1:36:47 PM) Kkat: Crossroads?
(1:36:51 PM) Kkat: Breakoff RP?
(1:37:02 PM) SilentSpecter: long story short
(1:37:09 PM) Golden_Breeze: #FoECrossroads
(1:37:10 PM) SilentSpecter: while back strobe flipped his shit in the tavern
(1:37:15 PM) SilentSpecter: almost the entire channel left
(1:37:22 PM) SilentSpecter: we created a new home
(1:37:24 PM) Fridge: Yeah. It's like the Tavern, but with more consistency.
(1:37:44 PM) Kkat: Ah.
(1:37:48 PM) Golden_Breeze: And SilentSpecter runs it really well, i'll give him that.
(1:37:57 PM) Kkat: And, I take it, no Strobe?
(1:37:58 PM) SilentSpecter: bah
(1:38:17 PM) Golden_Breeze: No Strobe
(1:38:20 PM) SilentSpecter: well he isn't banned or anything
(1:38:23 PM) Fridge: I think people have a hard time accepting the scope of non-canonocity of the Tavern.
(1:38:25 PM) SilentSpecter: but he isn't in there
(1:39:13 PM) Fridge: Anything can happen in the Tavern. This sounds like a bad thing, but consistency really is what makes you like a character.
(1:39:15 PM) Golden_Breeze: We discussed this didn't we? Tavern and Cross roads are in sapce time bubbles.
(1:39:36 PM) Golden_Breeze: *space
(1:39:36 PM) Fridge: I mean, it sounds like a good thing.
(1:40:07 PM) Fridge: I think the Crossroads at least have people that hang around there more often, though.
(1:40:34 PM) Golden_Breeze: It's active almost 24 hours a day.
(1:40:52 PM) Golden_Breeze: or atleast is see ponys in there all the time.
(1:41:37 PM) Fridge: By the way, If I'm sounding like I disapprove, then I'm not getting my point across. I like this idea, it's just that I'm fishing for the biggest differences between the two.
(1:42:36 PM) Golden_Breeze: You sound supportive to me.
(1:42:41 PM) ***Golden_Breeze shrugs.
(1:43:08 PM) Kkat: um... what was the "shit" that Strobe flipped?
(1:44:30 PM) Fridge: I think I figured out how to most aptly describe how it differs. In the Tavern, you make up a character on the spot, or otherwise throw one in and improvise. In the crossroads, you make a consistent character and then play them out.
(1:44:34 PM) AtomBell: Hm, hope uSea's alright
(1:45:00 PM) Kkat: That is, what was the problem that Strobe had?
(1:45:23 PM) AtomBell: Grim, I don't think you're the most objective person here.
(1:46:01 PM) Fridge: I think it might have been something relating to how death applies.
(1:47:23 PM) Shadow77777778 [[email protected]] entered the room.
(1:47:33 PM) AtomBell: No, it was more over people playing consistent, long-term characters there and ignoring the space/time wobblyness of the Tavern.  But this really isn't the channel.
(1:47:34 PM) Kkat: Sorry, I'm not getting it.  I think that if somepony could explain the precipitating argument, that would help.
(1:48:10 PM) ***Umbra shrugs, and has no idea.
(1:48:36 PM) AtomBell: There was a group of people, non-sidestory writers by and large, who were displeased with some of the ways Strobe was administering things after replaceing RippedShadow/nopony really consistent.
(1:48:51 PM) Fridge: I dunno. I'd ask Strobe when he gets on and get his opinion of it.
(1:48:56 PM) ***AtomBell shrugs
(1:49:07 PM) AtomBell: This really isn't the time or place for an old, dead, argument
(1:52:31 PM) SilentSpecter: I don't even remember what sparked it.
(1:52:34 PM) SilentSpecter: ._>
(1:52:39 PM) SilentSpecter: ._.*
(1:52:49 PM) ***AtomBell remembers all
(1:53:03 PM) ***SilentSpecter goes back to gemcraft labryrinth
(1:53:33 PM) ***Umbra idly plays some League of Legends
(1:54:19 PM) uSea_a_GM [[email protected]] entered the room.
(1:54:19 PM) #FalloutEquestriaPNP: mode (+o uSea_a_GM) by ChanServ
(1:54:43 PM) ***Umbra queue dodges! Phew.
(1:55:01 PM) AtomBell: Hey uSea
(1:55:39 PM) uSea_a_GM: howdy
(1:56:08 PM) Kkat: Yay!
(1:56:24 PM) uSea_a_GM: sorry we're starting so late but work is work :<
(1:56:52 PM) AtomBell: Aye
(1:56:56 PM) AtomBell: Understandable
(1:57:13 PM) ***Kkat understands
(1:57:22 PM) Umbra: Real life happens sometimes, its chill.
(1:57:25 PM) SilentSpecter: eeeyup
(1:59:45 PM) uSea_a_GM: the problem is that this will be our usual closing time as we get busier thoughout summer. If this results in short sessions we could look into holding a second one during the week, if the stars align and we can get together for another.
(2:00:10 PM) SilentSpecter: I'd be up for a second session
(2:00:32 PM) ***AtomBell will vanish in May anyway
(2:00:52 PM) SilentSpecter: :o
(2:01:02 PM) uSea_a_GM: aww :<
(2:01:30 PM) ***Kkat hugs uSea.
(2:02:02 PM) AtomBell: I'll be working every Sunday until 5
(2:02:25 PM) AtomBell: And probably won't have internet anyway
(2:02:36 PM) AtomBell: So, gotta figure out how to kill Atom off before then
(2:03:10 PM) SilentSpecter: :I
(2:03:42 PM) ***Gnash had to lay down for a bit because headaches, but is back now
(2:03:54 PM) Geldnir: We could look for another day that works out better for everypony.
(2:03:57 PM) Fridge: That is probably the oddest thing I've seen a player say about his character in chat.
(2:04:24 PM) SilentSpecter: we already did it in crossroads
(2:04:38 PM) uSea_a_GM: another day would be fine by me, although the time wouldn't change
(2:04:40 PM) SilentSpecter: older Atom and Specter after the events of the PnP offed themselves
(2:04:47 PM) AtomBell: Let's not talk about that
(2:05:04 PM) AtomBell: Well, after I start to work I can do Mondays and Tuesdays
(2:05:12 PM) AtomBell: That's my weekend
(2:05:22 PM) SilentSpecter: I can still do whenever.
(2:05:32 PM) Geldnir: I'm free whenever.
(2:05:50 PM) SilentSpecter: The...ah...benefits of being unemployed?
(2:06:11 PM) SilentSpecter: oh
(2:06:31 PM) SilentSpecter: uSea_a_GM: Does the effects of egghead activate the level you get it?
(2:06:35 PM) SilentSpecter: or the next level
(2:06:36 PM) Geldnir: Yeah we go with calling them benifits. . .
(2:06:39 PM) Umbra: my schedule is flexible, and fairly open after about 4 Pacific everyday. My only real static commitment besides work is saturday night.
(2:06:55 PM) SmartCookie [[email protected]] entered the room.
(2:07:14 PM) uSea_a_GM: Next level, like in FO
(2:07:24 PM) SilentSpecter: poo
(2:08:40 PM) uSea_a_GM: anyway, as for the weapon list, probably won't impliment it next week. Maybe the week after. I've only gotten through part of Tier 2 balancing and I'd like to get more done and add melee weapons etc.
(2:08:49 PM) uSea_a_GM: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ar_2-YbjBwHUdHdlYWRrcGFaOWhWQ0E3V0xpWDVyRnc#gid=9
(2:08:53 PM) uSea_a_GM: link btw
(2:09:19 PM) SilentSpecter: Bookmarked it last session :3
(2:10:12 PM) BerryAwayuSeaStartWithoutMe is now known as Cerberus
(2:10:26 PM) uSea_a_GM: as for Automatic weapons I'm ignoring the Full Auto rules for now so Artifica can (currently) either Single Shot or Burst Fire.
(2:11:02 PM) uSea_a_GM: Burst Fire costs +15AP (35AP total for the LMG) to fire 3 shots.
(2:12:29 PM) Kkat: okie dokie lokie
(2:12:35 PM) Kkat is now known as Artifica
(2:13:16 PM) Artifica: Okay, guys... in a session or two, LMGs will suddenly be 400 caps.  Quick, let's get more while they're still 150!
(2:13:22 PM) Artifica: ;)
(2:13:28 PM) SilentSpecter: :3
(2:13:29 PM) AtomBell: Stock up everypony
(2:13:30 PM) uSea_a_GM: which means it averages better damage than the T2 Cowboy Repeater but suffers more from DT
(2:15:46 PM) ***Artifica really should get the battle saddle mods she wants.... but doesn't have the funds even now while they're cheap.
(2:16:23 PM) Artifica: Several battle saddle mods have price tags based on the cost of the weapon installed, so they're about to get a lot more expensive.
(2:18:04 PM) SilentSpecter: where are the mods on that list anyways
(2:18:10 PM) SilentSpecter: or are the not on there yet
(2:20:59 PM) Artifica: http://forum.fallout-equestria.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=191
(2:21:15 PM) Artifica: Bottom of the Battle Saddles rules post.
(2:22:17 PM) SilentSpecter: ah
(2:22:21 PM) #FalloutEquestriaPNP: mode (+v AtomBell) by Cerberus
(2:22:31 PM) #FalloutEquestriaPNP: mode (+vv SilentSpecter Umbra) by uSea_a_GM
(2:22:39 PM) AtomBell: Heh, Blazing Saddle
(2:22:48 PM) #FalloutEquestriaPNP: mode (+m ) by uSea_a_GM
(2:25:33 PM) SmartCookie left the room (quit: Quit: Verlassend).
(2:25:40 PM) SmartCookie [[email protected]] entered the room.
(2:27:27 PM) GCAT_ [[email protected]] entered the room.
(2:27:32 PM) Umbra: need a 'Born in the Saddle' perk. ''You have spent you whole life in and out of battle saddles, and have leared to manage heavy loads efficiently. Reduce the strength requirements of all saddle mounted weapons by two.''
(2:28:06 PM) uSea_a_GM: Start of Session 8ish for Group 4
(2:28:16 PM) uSea_a_GM: The party have made it to the Red Cross hospital and now find themselves surrounded by (currently) neutral turrets. Geldnir had addressed the stallion above them, and now all awaited his reply...
(2:28:35 PM) uSea_a_GM: "The town sent you? Hold on, I'll be right down."
(2:29:25 PM) GCAT left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
(2:29:30 PM) GCAT_ is now known as GCAT
(2:33:35 PM) ***Umbra digs idly at the ground, really rather wishing they were not surrounded by automated defences, but resigned to the fact.
(2:34:16 PM) ***Cerberus looks nervously at the turrets, waiting for the stallion to show himself
(2:34:46 PM) ***AtomBell waits, ignoring the fact they could die a very laser induced death at any second
(2:35:00 PM) ***SilentSpecter is resigned to her death and simply sitting down smoking a cigarette.
(2:35:24 PM) uSea_a_GM: The hospital's boarded-up front door opens to let though a stallion. He looks weary. "Ok griffon, talk."
(2:36:38 PM) ***Cerberus moves a bit behing gnash, as if she's trying to get some decent cover
(2:37:24 PM) Geldnir: "Yes the town sent us. I was hoping we might be able to help out for the mutal benfit of all involved."
(2:40:20 PM) Silverlight|away is now known as Silverlight
(2:41:23 PM) uSea_a_GM: "Right. So you're not all packing weapons just ready to attack us the moment we let you in."
(2:42:51 PM) Geldnir: "Look I'm just trying to resolve this thing peacefully. The only ponies that'd rather just take you out is that cut throat how runs the merchants. You hae my word that we wont attack you. We'll even let you hold on to our weapons while we're here if you want."
(2:43:06 PM) Geldnir: ((who))
(2:43:54 PM) SilentSpecter: "I don't like having my weapon taken away..."
(2:44:02 PM) Geldnir: "Deal with it."
(2:45:04 PM) ***Geldnir said glaring at Specter.
(2:45:13 PM) AtomBell: "Wait."
(2:46:01 PM) uSea_a_GM: He seems to think this over, clearly not liking the idea of letting you in at all.
(2:46:46 PM) ***Cerberus mutters to the griffon "if you need, i can play the hostage..."
(2:46:54 PM) ***AtomBell clears her throat, "I'm unarmed, as you can see, and quite unarmored.  Perhaps we could reach an understanding between medical professionals?"
(2:47:50 PM) ***Gnash scratches at his breast with his talons, looking slightly irritated
(2:47:56 PM) ***Cerberus "i mean, we are not trying to get in trouble, i can go there as a guarantee and in case of trouble maybe they'll think twice before harming a cub?"
(2:49:02 PM) uSea_a_GM: The stallion's attention is drawn to AtomBell has his eyes widen suddenly. "Wait, you're an actual doctor?! Oh, screw it, come in all of you."
(2:49:21 PM) ***Cerberus shrugs "that was easy..."
(2:49:57 PM) ***AtomBell smiles pleasantly, "Indeed I am, Atom Bell, B-E-L-L.  And thank you."
(2:50:06 PM) ***Artifica is staring at AtomBell too.  But mainly because she could actually understand her.
(2:50:30 PM) ***Geldnir shrugs. "Works for me." He chuckles as he walks inside.
(2:50:43 PM) ***SilentSpecter 's eyes widen. She...She's speaking normally!
(2:50:58 PM) ***Cerberus trots aftr the others, keeping a low profile, since the place is still unknown
(2:50:58 PM) uSea_a_GM: He kicks the door farther open behind him and leads you though. "My names Overclock. Sorry about all that but we really need your help."
(2:51:35 PM) ***Gnash raises an eyebrow; apparently everypony needed their help
(2:52:01 PM) ***Umbra glances at Atom for a moment, before shrugging and following. How the medic spoke was really no concern of hers.
(2:52:23 PM) Geldnir: "Like I said we're here to help."
(2:52:27 PM) ***AtomBell trots ahead, concerned, "Me help?  Specifically?"
(2:52:37 PM) ***Artifica takes a moment to physically lift her jaw from the ground.  Then follows.
(2:52:46 PM) ***SilentSpecter stands, dropping and crushing the cigarette but under hoof before following.
(2:53:42 PM) uSea_a_GM: The hospital foyer looks in remarkably good shape for the wasteland, unless you count the patch of recently burned floor and the wall full of bullet holes.
(2:54:15 PM) ***SilentSpecter cocks an eyebrow but says nothing.
(2:54:29 PM) uSea_a_GM: Yet more turrets are visible inside, though far fewer than before
(2:54:32 PM) ***Geldnir appraises the hospital. "Fancy. . . this place is in much better condition than our HQ."
(2:54:32 PM) AtomBell: "Yiv been in a scrap recently?"
(2:55:30 PM) ***Artifica feels her eyes widen again.  "Maybe we could trade medical assistance for that turret you wanted," she suggests to Geldnir, only half-joking.  "They seem to have a surplus."
(2:55:59 PM) ***Geldnir whistles. "Sooo big question here who attacked you? I have a feeling I know the answer, but I just want to double check my suspicions."
(2:56:32 PM) Geldnir: "Nah we can get one of those somewhere else. We're here for more important reasons than a turret."
(2:57:12 PM) ***Gnash scans the crowd, observing, listening. It was possible that his mark was somehwere amongst these ponies.
(2:57:43 PM) ***Cerberus nodnods "yeah, maybe we can find some more candies..."
(2:58:15 PM) Kalliope [[email protected]] entered the room.
(2:58:15 PM) uSea_a_GM: Overclock nods. "Yeah we were attacked. Let in a group of traders yesterday same as always. 'cept these weren't traders. Sweetheart and her assistants went to meet them."
(2:58:23 PM) Geldnir: "Yeah not the type of candies that aregood for little fillies."
(2:58:59 PM) Geldnir: "Huh so it could totally be Capsworths doing. That bastard."
(2:59:30 PM) ***Cerberus shuffles a hoof on the floor and mutters  "i'm not a little filly..."
(2:59:47 PM) ***AtomBell frowns, "Oh dear."
(2:59:50 PM) ***Gnash turns his attention to Overclock after catching the name 'Sweetheart', which seemed to be related to his mark at least.
(2:59:51 PM) icekatze [[email protected]] entered the room.
(2:59:52 PM) #FalloutEquestriaPNP: mode (+o icekatze) by ChanServ
(3:00:10 PM) ***Artifica stifles a chuckle.  "No, dear.  You're a big, grown-up filly!"
(3:00:15 PM) uSea_a_GM: "Wolves in sheep's clothing you might say. They grabbed Heart and the others in a flash, and that's when they started shooting. One of them pulled out a fucking flamethrower!"
(3:00:20 PM) Geldnir: "The Sherif mentioned her, is she okay?"
(3:00:46 PM) ***AtomBell 's frown deepens
(3:01:34 PM) Shadow77777778 is now known as Suzy_Q
(3:01:49 PM) Geldnir: "That 'Merchant' always gave me a bad feeling. . . It wouldn't suprise me that the sleaze ball would behind this."
(3:01:51 PM) ***Gnash clears his throat, then asks; "Anypony got a grudge against this 'Sweetheart' specifically, or do they just not like all of you?"
(3:01:57 PM) ***Umbra trots around, examining the damage to the room. The place looked reasonably well defended, but defenses were most effective when you hadn't already let the attackers in.
(3:02:40 PM) ***Artifica feels a little twinge in her heart and mentally kicks herself, reminding herself that this is indeed important and that she is far too good a pony to feel even slightly upset at the notion of things being more important than firepower.
(3:03:51 PM) uSea_a_GM: "I couldn't risk my turrets shooting the hostages, we were helpless in seconds! He knew exactly what he was doing."
(3:04:38 PM) Geldnir: "So they had somepony on the inside to help them plan?"
(3:05:00 PM) SilentSpecter: "That's my guess."
(3:05:59 PM) uSea_a_GM: "Inside? They were led by Sweetheart's brother!"
(3:06:00 PM) AtomBell: "Or the' weor yeble tuh simply yeble tuh snatch hostages quickor then the turrets cud be activated."
(3:06:10 PM) AtomBell: "What?"
(3:06:30 PM) AtomBell: "Brother?  Well, that's inside."
(3:06:39 PM) Geldnir: "Well that's fucked up."
(3:06:45 PM) ***Gnash raises an eyebrow; that certainly changed things. "Who was this brother of hers?"
(3:06:50 PM) ***SilentSpecter snorts "Well...that explains it."
(3:07:07 PM) Geldnir: "Any idea where they are now?"
(3:07:08 PM) ***Cerberus taps her chin "wow, a family betrayal?"
(3:07:42 PM) ***Cerberus "but doesn't explain why you need a medic? do you have any wounded friend?"
(3:07:53 PM) Umbra: "They would not necessarily need help at all. Rare is the fortress that is meant to keep intruders in. Once they were waved through, it would have been easy.'' Umbra comments, considering how she would have handled breaking into a place like this.
(3:09:06 PM) uSea_a_GM: "We kicked that bastard out two years ago and now he comes back with a bunch of giggling psycos."
(3:10:04 PM) ***SilentSpecter 's brow creases and she frowns
(3:10:22 PM) Geldnir: "True. . . I still feel Capsworth is behind this somehow. Bastard tried to convince me that attacking you all was a good idea, and he has been pushing the sherif to attack this place as well. I don't like him, not an honest trader at all."
(3:10:35 PM) ***Gnash adopts a smile somewhat lacking in sincerity; "That certainly sounds horrendous; what is that bastards name?"
(3:11:05 PM) uSea_a_GM: "Sweetmeat."
(3:11:09 PM) ***AtomBell looks concerned, "Are their casualties?"
(3:11:17 PM) AtomBell: *ther
(3:11:23 PM) ***Gnash smirks, mentally noting 'Bingo.'
(3:11:24 PM) AtomBell: **there
(3:12:53 PM) uSea_a_GM: Overclock beckons for you all to follow him into the next room. "No one died in the attack. But we've got several injured. Please follow me."
(3:13:11 PM) uSea_a_GM: ((pretend it's blue))
(3:13:19 PM) ***Gnash turns and places a talon on Geldnir's shoulder; "It seems pretty straightforward to me. At the very least, that Sweetmeat character needs to be taken care of. Perhaps his group has intel that will lead us to the true culprit."
(3:13:30 PM) ***SilentSpecter follows alongside AtomBell
(3:14:12 PM) ***AtomBell follows
(3:15:09 PM) ***Cerberus follows the group in silence, listening the others ponies' talking
(3:15:28 PM) ***Geldnir nodsand follows Overclock."We need to be careful how tread around this. Intrigue is abound here."
(3:15:43 PM) ***Umbra is content to follow, figuring there will be someone to thrash soon enough.
(3:16:00 PM) uSea_a_GM: Overclock leads the way to a hospital ward. Some ponies had gone to a lot of effort to keep it clean. Three of the beds are occupied.
(3:17:41 PM) uSea_a_GM: "We done what we can for them but Sweetheart was our doctor..."
(3:18:13 PM) ***AtomBell adjusts her glasses and closes up on Overclock, "Diagnoses?"
(3:18:16 PM) icekatze left the room (quit: Quit: I must go, my planet needs me.).
(3:18:37 PM) Geldnir: "We can try to get her back for you. Do have any clue where they may have taken her?"
(3:18:39 PM) ***Artifica moves swiftly towards the first bed.
(3:19:44 PM) ***SilentSpecter stands out of the way watching.
(3:21:45 PM) ***Gnash pulls Geldnir aside and whispers to him; "You're entirely right. Aside from what's going on in front of us, someone is trying to cut things out in the background." He quickly flashes the note at Geldnir, then stuffs it away, noting for him to remain quiet about it. "I must admit I wish to know who's really pulling the strings as well."
(3:22:13 PM) ***Artifica looks back towards AtomBell frettingly.  Then speaks to Overclock.  "Fortunately, AtomBell is a skilled doctor.  And I can act as her assistant.  Between us, we should be able to assist your wounded.
(3:22:34 PM) uSea_a_GM: "We tried healing potions but they weren't enough. Err, could you take a look?"
(3:22:47 PM) AtomBell: "Of course."
(3:23:23 PM) ***Geldnir turns and whispers into Gnashes ear. "Who gave you that?"
(3:23:42 PM) ***AtomBell nods to Artifica, "Thank you."
(3:23:57 PM) ***Gnash snorts, but remains at a whisper; "Still trying to find out, hence the intrigue."
(3:24:54 PM) uSea_a_GM: One of the ponies has minor burns across her side. Another has dark bruises on his leg. The last has severe burns, she looks like she's been caught by the flamethrower.
(3:25:05 PM) Gnash: (ouch)
(3:25:26 PM) AtomBell: (Shoulda brought ointment)
(3:25:40 PM) ***SilentSpecter looks around before sitting on an empty bed having nothing else to do.
(3:25:54 PM) ***Geldnir still whispering to gnash "Ah, I wouldn't take the job. We need to play a cards closeso we can find out who this bastard is, because they are tyring to play us against each other. We need to teach this bastard not to fuck with Talons ex or otherwise."
(3:26:05 PM) AtomBell: "Artifica, what can your spells do for, er, burns?"
(3:26:36 PM) ***Gnash smirks; "Oh, don't worry. I know how to deal with under the table employers."
(3:27:11 PM) ***Cerberus sits on the bed with SilentSpecter, takes out her sheep plushie and starts sniffing it as if she is studying the toy
(3:28:01 PM) ***Geldnir grins still whispering. "Cut the backstabbing bastards throats and put their head on a pike?"
(3:28:39 PM) AtomBell: "Or wait, um, Umbra, didn't you buy some herbs at the market?"
(3:29:17 PM) ***Umbra nods.
(3:29:48 PM) ***Gnash snicker's; "Well, I suppose you could do it that way. Definitely sends a message. Sometimes though there's a benefit to leaving them /mostly/ intact. They can tell others how to properly approach a Talon in the future."
(3:29:50 PM) AtomBell: "Do... you ken how to make burn salve?"
(3:30:21 PM) ***Geldnir chuckles. "Thats what the pike is for."
(3:30:23 PM) ***Umbra nods again, then trots off to find a mixing bowl and a shot of whiskey.
(3:30:51 PM) ***Gnash just chuckles
(3:31:27 PM) uSea_a_GM: Overclock looks nervous as Atom gets to work, "Do you need any help? Heart's tools are still here and we have some potions left from the last batch."
(3:32:14 PM) ***Geldnir still smirking and whispering. "We should probably share this bit of information with some of the others at least. No need for most of us to go into this blind, but there is an advantage in leaving some in our number ignorant."
(3:32:26 PM) ***AtomBell looks up, "That might help, may I see?"
(3:33:28 PM) ***Gnash shakes his head; "I approached you about this because I knew you still held a Talon's respect for the contract and professionalism. That zebra might be good for espionage, but the others don't really seem the type for this sort of game."
(3:33:52 PM) AtomBell: *They might
(3:34:27 PM) ***Cerberus finally, after a long inspection, the foal hugs the plushie, even if a bit uncertain on how it's done
(3:34:29 PM) uSea_a_GM: The stallion leaves but soon returns, carrying a Doctors bag and 4 potions. "Here, you can use these. Is there anything else you need?"
(3:35:55 PM) ***AtomBell looks to Artifica and Umbra for their answers.
(3:36:41 PM) ***Umbra trots back about the same time, armed with a jar of green paste. It wasn't quite what she'd wanted, and all she'd been able to scrouge up was a bottle of Bisongrass. It would suffice though, and she began to apply the salve to the lighly burned patient.
(3:36:44 PM) Desert_Lightning left the room (quit: Client exited).
(3:37:12 PM) ***AtomBell nods, "Thank you Umbra."
(3:39:15 PM) ***Umbra shrugs in response, it wasn't all that much she'd done.
(3:40:15 PM) ***Artifica kneels next to the most badly burned of the ponies.  The burns do not look like there were from magical energy.  Her magic should be able to heal this damage.  But it will be slow.  And exhausting.
(3:41:06 PM) ***AtomBell pats her lightly on the back, "Do what you can lass."
(3:41:40 PM) ***AtomBell moves to the side of the buck with the badly bruised leg.
(3:43:59 PM) ***AtomBell is completely baffled by the symptoms she's seeing, and unable to do much more then consider applying another healing potion.
(3:44:22 PM) uSea_a_GM: Overclock trots up to AtomBell. "Ah, Blues here got shot in the legs. Most of the wounds were fine after some potions but those ones seem to bruise up really badly after each dose."
(3:44:31 PM) ***Geldnir whispering to Gnash."I agree about telling Umbra, but I would also suggest telling Silent."
(3:45:56 PM) ***Gnash ponders that a moment; "I suppose a sniper would have the proper resolve."
(3:46:51 PM) ***AtomBell puts her leg gently against one of the bruises.
(3:46:58 PM) ***Geldnir still whispering "Then we're agreed? We should wait untill we can catch them away from the others."
(3:47:42 PM) uSea_a_GM: Atom notices that the bruises seem to have gotten a little larger.
(3:47:48 PM) ***Gnash nods in agreemeant, shaking Geldnir's talon.
(3:49:14 PM) ***Geldnir whispering "I'll handle telling Silent, you tell Umbra."
(3:50:41 PM) ***Artifica focuses for ten minutes on the severely hurt pony, her horn first glowing then beginning to shine, filling the room with a fierce light.  By the time she is done, the mare is panting, her mane matted to her forehead with sweat.  She trembles, struggling to stay upright.
(3:51:32 PM) ***AtomBell nods in comprehension, "As I suspected.  Bullets are still in thor, i'll hev tuh operate tuh remove them."
(3:51:59 PM) ***Geldnir wanders over next to silent and coughs quietly tapping her on the shoulder.
(3:53:51 PM) ***SilentSpecter stands up and goes over to support Artifica
(3:54:05 PM) SilentSpecter: (redact)
(3:55:05 PM) ***SilentSpecter cocks an eyebrow at Geldnir
(3:55:24 PM) ***AtomBell fishes into her bag with a wing for her surgical tools, or what limited instruments she had with her.
(3:55:57 PM) ***AtomBell asks absently, "D'ya hev any disinfectant Mr. Overclock?"
(3:57:23 PM) ***Geldnir whispers to Silent. "I have some info Gnash shared with me, I'm telling you this in cofidence we don't want to tip off whoever is plotting behind the scene yet. Somepony tried anonymously hire Gnash to kill sweetmeat, we don't who it is yet, and we aren't planing on acting out the job until we get more details, I repeat do not tell anypony else this info."
(3:57:28 PM) uSea_a_GM: "Oh, there should be some in the bag. Use as much as you need."
(3:57:52 PM) Geldnir: ((tried to*))
(3:58:16 PM) ***SilentSpecter shrugs and nods, whispering back "Right."
(3:58:33 PM) tosxyChor [[email protected]] entered the room.
(3:59:23 PM) ***AtomBell nods as she reaches into the bag and prepares her theatre of operation, disinfecting the area around the bruises, sterilizing her scalpel, tweezers, and needle.
(3:59:36 PM) ***SilentSpecter stands up and goes over to support Artifica
(4:01:24 PM) ***Gnash taps Umbra on the shoulder with a talon, motioning for her to join him off out of earshot
(4:01:39 PM) ***AtomBell notes the empty Med-X on the table and nods to herself, the patient should be properly prepared now...
(4:02:19 PM) ***Umbra follows, having nothing else pressing to do after tending to the first patient.
(4:02:25 PM) ***AtomBell begins cutting into the skin.
(4:02:39 PM) uSea_a_GM: Artifica's exhausting efforts seem to have helped. Much of the burned skin has become pink and healthy. However a large patch of hide on her thigh  remains charred and black.
(4:02:48 PM) ***Geldnir goes to help Silent support Articia as well.
(4:03:24 PM) ***Cerberus if she notices the griffins talking with the others separatedly, the foal doesnt' seem to care at all, still immersed into the hard quest of finding out how yo uare supposed to play with a toy
(4:04:24 PM) ***Artifica pants, leaning into SilentSpecter's support.  "The damage is q-quite bad.  I... I've done all my meager magic can do.  Maybe if I was better."
(4:04:38 PM) tosxyChor left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(4:04:44 PM) ***AtomBell can't talk with a scalpel in her mouth.
(4:04:45 PM) tosxyChor [[email protected]] entered the room.
(4:04:47 PM) tosxyChor left the room (quit: Connection closed).
(4:04:49 PM) ***Artifica trails off, needing to rest.
(4:04:53 PM) tosxyChor [[email protected]] entered the room.
(4:06:44 PM) ***Cerberus trots towards the exhausted Artifica, sitting next to her and poking the mare with her plushie "is maginc that hard?"
(4:07:13 PM) ***Gnash leans down to whisper to Umbra; "There is intrigue abound. Someone is trying to play us against each other." He flashes her the note; "Remain silent on this, but keep your eyes open for the truth of who is pulling the strings."
(4:07:37 PM) ***Artifica nods to Cerberus, wiping her brow.  "Sometimes it is, Cerberus, yes."
(4:07:45 PM) SmartCookie left the room (quit: Quit: Verlassend).
(4:07:48 PM) ***Umbra just quirks her eyebrows at 'keep silent'.
(4:08:06 PM) SmartCookie [[email protected]] entered the room.
(4:08:06 PM) ***AtomBell tweezes the shit out of some bullets.
(4:08:34 PM) ***Cerberus nodnods "oh... okay... those abominations, the 'goddesses' seemed able to uuse magic as they used voice, ore or less with no effort..."
(4:09:47 PM) ***Gnash smirks, know full well the zebra is far quieter than him, at least while moving
(4:10:20 PM) Pantzar left the room (quit: Quit: See you !).
(4:11:35 PM) ***AtomBell drops the slugs one by one on the tray holding the empty Med-X syringes, a wing fishing for bandages in her bags.
(4:12:20 PM) ***SilentSpecter returns to sitting on the bed she's temporarily taken over.
(4:12:21 PM) ***Umbra smirks right back, then nods. ''If anyone watches from the shadows, I shall find them. That is my forte.''
(4:12:57 PM) uSea_a_GM: AtomBell's operation is a success. The bruises themselves proved a very handy way of locating the bullets.
(4:13:57 PM) ***AtomBell sets her tools aside, to be cleaned once she finished stitching the leg and bandaging it.
(4:14:06 PM) ***Cerberus talks in a low voice "so... is it common with ponies that brothers and sisters will kidnap each other and such? i mean... are blood bonds that thin?"
(4:14:17 PM) ***Cerberus is asking it to arti
(4:15:33 PM) ***Artifica reaches over and gives Cerberus as weak hug.
(4:17:35 PM) ***Artifica admits.  "Some magic is easy.  Some is very hard.  Even for the... 'goddesses', some magic is hard.  Just... a lot more spells are hard for us than for them."
(4:18:13 PM) ***AtomBell wraps up, pun intended, her operation and turns again to Overclock, "Are thor any othor injured?  Or someplace ah cud wash me instruments?"
(4:19:38 PM) ***Artifica frowns, "As for brothers and sisters: no.  In my... from what I have seen, blood bonds are usually very strong.  Sometimes too strong.  But sometime ponies can go bad enough... get broken enough... that family doesn't mean what it should anymore."
(4:20:09 PM) ***AtomBell frowns at that, but stays out of the unicorn's conversation.
(4:20:39 PM) ***SilentSpecter is watching Artifica and Cerberus while she lounges on the bed.
(4:21:39 PM) ***Artifica glances at AtomBell and adds, "And sometimes, it's not the brother or sister, but the whole rest of the family that has gone bad."
(4:22:54 PM) uSea_a_GM: Overclock nods to AtomBell. "Yeah most of the taps here have clean water. Did you check Crayon yet though? Your unicorn friend didn't look too happy after her spell."
(4:24:38 PM) ***Geldnir watches silently lost in thought.
(4:26:35 PM) ***AtomBell glances over at the mare in question, "The salve winnet be enough, ah divvint think,  an' Miss Artifica is exhausted already... ahm sorry, ahm neet sure wot mare ah gan dee then bandage it up since ah doubt yee aaal hev the propor set up fo' a skin graft.  Neet that ahm disparagin yor  facilities, it's just a very complex procedure...."
(4:29:09 PM) ***AtomBell shrugs, "Ah cud cut it yeut ah suppose."
(4:30:04 PM) AtomBell: "Steep risk iv infection though, if yee divvint watch it."
(4:31:36 PM) AtomBell: "And it'll scar."
(4:31:56 PM) ***Artifica turns to AtomBell and weakly offers, "I can do... a little bit more."  She adds, "But I'll need to rest afterwords."
(4:34:00 PM) ***SilentSpecter frowns "Rest now, heal later."
(4:34:12 PM) ***AtomBell nods, "No.... nar na... if ah use the healin potions  Mr. Overclocked provided eftor ah excise the deed tissue, that /should/  stimulate the propor growth iv new healthy tissue in its place."
(4:34:15 PM) SilentSpecter: "You can barely stand as it is."
(4:34:44 PM) ***AtomBell smiles at Artifica, "Yee did a powerful canny job already miss, let wor tek it from heor."
(4:35:52 PM) AtomBell: "Let wor clean an' sterilize me instruments an' see wot else ah gan scare up, Mr. Overclock?"
(4:37:13 PM) ***AtomBell is looking for a sign of those taps he mentioned earlier to get started.
(4:38:53 PM) ***AtomBell heads down the ward towards the sink, humming something about 'using the knowledge she's accrued'.
(4:40:06 PM) ***AtomBell returns before, scalpel, needle, and tweezers soaking in a mug of whiskey.
(4:40:28 PM) AtomBell: "Bandages?"
(4:45:35 PM) ***AtomBell sets to work cutting away the dead flesh, disposing of it onto the same tray from earlier.  After some objecting, allows Artifica to use her cleaning spell on the wound before disinfecting it with some of her whiskey and applying several of the healing potions.
(4:46:04 PM) AtomBell: (Er, redact everying after that first sentence)
(4:46:36 PM) AtomBell: (Went to far)
(4:47:24 PM) ***AtomBell is looking at a gaping fleshy hole in the mare's thigh.  She shifts the scalpel in her mouth, "Artifica?  Up to a cleaning spell?"
(4:47:55 PM) ***SilentSpecter sighs and looks over at Artifica, ready to stand up again to support her.
(4:48:15 PM) AtomBell: "Not too much... burnout."
(4:49:10 PM) ***Artifica nods, shuffling forward.  She focuses, her horn glowing softly.  A moment later, the wound is cleaned... as is the rest of the mare.  She looks as is she just came from a very good bath... only dryer.
(4:49:14 PM) Gnash left the room (quit: Connection closed).
(4:49:34 PM) ***AtomBell frowns, "Now, back to bed.  Thank you."
(4:49:43 PM) TenMihara [[email protected]] entered the room.
(4:49:43 PM) #FalloutEquestriaPNP: mode (+h TenMihara) by ChanServ
(4:49:52 PM) TenMihara is now known as Gnash
(4:49:57 PM) ***Artifica smiles weakly.  "Sorry.  Not my most precise work."
(4:50:13 PM) AtomBell: "You cleaned the whole body.  Impressive."
(4:50:18 PM) ***SilentSpecter pats Artifica on the back, leading her back to the bed. "Rest."
(4:50:43 PM) ***Artifica nods, not arguing.
(4:51:01 PM) ***AtomBell sets her scalpel aside and picks up the first healing potion Overclock had hoofed over.  It only takes one more before Atom can see positive progress in tissue growth.
(4:51:21 PM) ***Artifica searches for something sufficiently bedlike.  Or at least a clean and out-of-the-way patch of floow.
(4:51:51 PM) ***SilentSpecter sits next to Artifica once she lays back down, like a guard.
(4:56:11 PM) ***Artifica doesn't even bother with the telekinesis necessary to remove her battle saddle.
(4:58:23 PM) Serotin [[email protected]] entered the room.
(5:00:12 PM) uSea_a_GM: Their efforts are successful, and the patient is now well on her way to recovery. Great job!
(5:06:19 PM) uSea_a_GM: Overclock seems overjoyed with the results. "Thank you thank you thank you! You're a blessing from Celestia herself. Keep the bag and the potions, Heart would want you to have them. And I'll get something else too."
(5:07:26 PM) ***AtomBell blushes and makes some protestations of modesty.
(5:08:01 PM) ***AtomBell looks to Geldnir, she doesn't want to promise they'll find Sweetheart if the head griffon says no.
(5:08:33 PM) uSea_a_GM: He returns shortly with an old medical book in his mouth. "Here, take this... and thanks again."
(5:08:57 PM) uSea_a_GM: END OF SESSION 8ish FOR GROUP 4
(5:09:01 PM) AtomBell: "No, I'm just glad I could help."
