FoE PNP G-Platypus Session 69

[18:07] <Mister_Clacky|GM> *****G-Platypus: The City of Broad Withers - Session 69*****
[18:07] <Mister_Clacky|GM> (There didn't progress the... wait... seriously? Our first session all back together is 69?)
[18:08] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  *Ahem* Warfronts... No... I can't... *Ahem*
[18:08] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Orgy.
[18:08] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Battle has been refered to as an orgy of carnage.
[18:09] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  And a battle is what they are in. A battle on multiple fronts. Just what awaits our wastelanders?
[18:09] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  ****Session Start*****
[18:10] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake investigates a building with a good chance of having the missing foal. North_Star is in a belltower on an old fire station, looking down at the barricade and cages. From his vantage point he sees a halfdozen slavers take off toward the rest of the group near the cages.
[18:20] * North_Star brings his sights up to his eye, judging the slavers and their firepower.
[18:28] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  North_Star can see that the three remaining on the barricade side are manning the machine gun. Two have SMGs at the ready and are looking for where the shots came from. The six that ducked into the building are probably heading to the cages, but are out of sight.
[18:31] * Canary brings out his brush gun. He figured the time for subtlety was going to be over very soon
[18:31] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake hears the scuffle die down quickly after it began. Her PipBuck sheds some light in this room, but the room Blue charged into is utter blackness.
[18:36] * North_Star loads two more rounds into his rifle before starting to settle his sights on the gunners.
[18:37] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  With two slavers down in the initial barrage, this lull is sure to be shortlived. Readying weapons is a /fine/ idea.
[18:39] * Snack_Cake is staying quiet, watching for anypony as she scouts out the building.
[18:39] * Blackberry_Jam takes a quick peek around the corner again.
[18:40] * Canary feels like he's a bit lost and rubs the back of his head. "I feel like I missed something." It might have been his memory derping on him
[18:41] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Doors at the walltop level slam open as slavers from the otherside pour across the battlements to reinforce the two killed earlier.
[18:41] * Canary blinks at that, "Nevermind."
[18:47] * Thunder_Strike charges up her rifles and gets ready to fight once again.
[18:52] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Thunder_Strike lets loose a barrage of magical energy, spraying a slaver mare as she moves between cover. The mare hisses and ducks, taking several bolts of energy.
[18:55] * North_Star looks down at the six other slavers, deciding to get the heavier firepower off their backs before it climbs on first. He brings his crosshairs on the current gunner and sends two rounds their way.
[19:01] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The stallion working the gun takes two rounds. He holds onto the pintle-mounted weapon and clenches his teeth. Hurt but not gravely so.
[19:09] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake eventually sees Blue slip out from the room. He looks up at her with a 'where to now?' expression.
[19:11] * Canary can't pick out any particularly threatening targets, and fires two shots form his brush gun into the nearest one.
[19:12] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The room Snack_Cake is in continues to be mostly bare. The room Blue came from is too dark to see anything without moving in to investigate. THere are shelves around and a desk. It looks like this little reception area was also a touristy little knick knack store.
[19:14] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Canary lets off two rounds at the mare moving between cover, one connects with the already injured mare. The fight seems to leave her eyes and she just tries to get into cover!
[19:15] * Snack_Cake is more focused on finding the filly than digging through things. Maybe once she knows the filly is okay. For now, she shines her Pipbuck light into the dark room and investigates.
[19:19] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake slips into the next room. Three feral ghouls lay unmoving around the small area. The doors to an elevator shaft stand open, the car not in sight. There is a sign pointing to a nearby door with a picture of a stickpony going up stairs.
[19:19] * Canary keeps to the cover of the alley to avoid getting hit by a lot of return fire
[19:21] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Blackberry leans out and takes several shots at the baddies.
[19:22] * Snack_Cake carefully steps around the ghouls, giving them as wide a berth as she can as she heads for the stairs. They make her very uneasy.
[19:22] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Blackberry finishes off the scrabbling mare and puts two slugs in the next closest slaver.
[19:23] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake can see they aren't moving, it probably has something to do with the clawmarks digging into their necks and faces.
[19:24] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The door to the stairs opens easy enough for her. Her light gives her enough to see stairs up and stairs down.
[19:25] * Snack_Cake heads on up. She moves quickly, but carefully.
[19:27] * Scrap takes his turn to peak around the corner and fires at the injured slaver with his .45. He's been practicing. Time to see if it's payed off.
[19:29] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Scrap sends a barrage of bullets into the next injured slaver, downing him and riddling his corpse with little holes.
[19:30] * Scrap makes sure to stay in cover.
[19:33] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake starts up the stairs. Blue bounds up several stairs ahead of her, just outside of her PipLight's range. On the second level landing is a faded poster of a pink mare. No matter how she looks at it, the eyes seem to always be on her. Across the top is printed "I'm always watching, so you might as well /SMILE!/" A plague beside it near the door reads "Foal Unit - Long Term Care"
[19:38] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Blue lights on the railing of the stairs. Unsure where Snack will choose to go. In the door or up? He tilts his head.
[19:38] * Snack_Cake tries to ignore that poster, though it's really hard when it won't stop staring at her! She moves toward the door to see if she can check inside.
[19:41] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake peeks inside and sees a dark hallway. Some little bit of light manages to bleed in out of the rooms with a western exposure. There's a big circular desk halfway down the hall.
[19:41] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Canary can see the three looking for where the shots came. The mare on the right points up at his belltower and punches the gunner in the shoulder. He sweeps the barrel up where she's pointing.
[19:43] * Snack_Cake moves inside, shining her light as far as she can so she can look around.
[19:43] <Mister_Clacky|GM> The stallion rips off a long burst, the heavy rounds pulverizing stone all around North_Star (Note, above Canary is wrong name) and his cycling companion. None connect with him though.
[19:44] * North_Star swears loudly, as he ducks behind the stone out of reflex.
[19:46] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The other two in the tower swear, their SMGs insufficient to hit. The sharpeyed mare that spotted North_Star in the tower jumps up and starts pulling at something up in the roof of the structure.
[19:53] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  THe slavers above the cages poke out an assortment of SMGs and Carbines and fire on the group.
[20:02] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The slavers send a hail of bullets at the ponies at the corner. Striking Blackberry twice, Canary once, and peppering Scrap with bullets.
[20:04] * Scrap grits his teeth with a grunt as he takes a significant hit to his body.
[20:08] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Thunder flutters around the corner, sending an intense barrage at the pony who placed three rounds in Scrap. The pony turns to ash under the concentrated MEW fire.
[20:12] * Snack_Cake keeps on moving down the hall as she shines her light around to keep an eye out for trouble
[20:14] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  There's a light glow from a terminal at the round desk as Snack_Cake gets closer. The floor is shaped like an 'H' with the circular desk in the middle and four halls shooting off.
[20:15] * Snack_Cake doesn't really want to waste time... but the terminal could give her a clue for where to look. After a moment of thinking it over, she heads over to check out the terminal.
[20:17] * North_Star looks down at the gunfire below, eyeballing the distance between the slavers and the rest of his group.
[20:18] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  As Snack_Cake gets to the desk, she can see a bit of white inside the circle of the desk. Upon closer inspection, she finds it to be a skeleton with the tattered remains of somekind of white outfit. The terminal is still powered.
[20:18] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  North_Star can see the firefight at the cages is over a 150 foot stretch of nopony's land. The machinegun nest can't see the rest of the group.
[20:19] * North_Star decides to settle his current problem and brings his sights to the gunner again, firing another round.
[20:21] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The stallion gunner takes another round, but is still kicking.
[20:21] * North_Star cycles the action and sends another .308 his way.
[20:22] * Snack_Cake avoids the skeleton, and checks the terminal.
[20:24] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  3 The stallion slumps, but a splitsecond later manages to just pull himself back up to the weapon. He's so close to death, it's hardly possible to imagine how close to death he is! It's like hes 1/160th alive!
[20:26] * North_Star sees this and cycles the rifle's action in a violent manner, swearing once again.
[20:33] * Canary looses two shots at a carbine pony
[20:37] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  THe shots hit the stallion center, though his armor absorbs some of the blow. He stays upright.
[20:39] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake finds the terminal isn't password protected. It has several options. 1) Records 2) Charts 3) Communications 4) Celebrate
[20:40] * Snack_Cake starts with Communications. That seems like it might help her find where the filly is hiding out!
[20:42] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake opens the communication menu. It lists numbers where different doctors and departments can be reached. There are also options to find a department or doctor's office on a map of the facility.
[20:44] <Mister_Clacky|GM> Blackberry places two slugs in the injured buck, putting him down. THe third shot fouls in the tube. She curses as she starts handling the jam.
[20:45] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Blue's ears swivel as Snack_Cake hears a low moan and a scraping sound coming from a dark eastside corner.
[20:48] * Scrap recovers from the hit and fire four shots down at the remaining three. He then backs away out of the line of fire so he doesn't get hit again.
[20:52] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The rounds connect, heavily injuring one of the remaining three.
[20:54] * Snack_Cake nearly jumps out of her skin and flees around the opposite side of the desk from the direction of the sound, shining her light toward it!
[20:58] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake shines her light down the dark hall. A half-rotted ghoul in a labcoat shuffles toward her. His leg catches on some tubing and he pulls down an IV stand. The loud clatter is answered by more moans from that end of that hall and the dark hall behind her.
[21:08] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The machinegunner sprays the tower. One bullet hitting the cyclist and the second striking a vital strike into North_Star's chest.
[21:11] * North_Star clutches his chest, ducking down below the stone wall. He looks around for an easy way out of his nest, feeling his own head spin from the pain.
[21:13] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  THe motorcyclist also thinks taking cover is a good idea. He slumps off his bike and rolls over to tumble down the stairs in a semblance of control.
[21:16] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  North_Star's vision is tinged with red and the pain soon causes him to black out.
[21:17] * North_Star slumps over on his side, his rifle falling after with a clatter.
[21:17] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Losing sight of the sniper, the other ponies do stuff in the tower that nopony can see.
[21:19] * Snack_Cake stays on the opposite side of the desk. She mutters a quiet, "Blue..." She's more than a little nervous, and is in fact /very/ afraid. She fumbles a bit for her weapon, though she's a lot more likely to try and get away from them than to try and fight them.
[21:21] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The three remaining ponies above the cages send a volley of fire at the three still near the edge of the building. THeir volume of fire is greatly diminished.
[21:23] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Blue slinks across the top of the desk, stepping on the keyboard as he does. A robotic voice and an alarm sounds. "Celebrate selected. Celebrating in 5... 4..."
[21:26] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Thunder sends another deadly barrage at the slavers. ANother markspony is turned to floating pink ash.
[21:27] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  North_Star is still blacked out.
[21:31] * Canary sends two shots at the badly injured guy trying to finish him off
[21:34] * Snack_Cake starts to edge her way toward the entrance, trying not to make any sudden movements. She's not concerned with what the terminal is doing, just concerned about the ghouls that are going to eat her if she sticks around!
[21:35] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Blackberry clears the jam in her shotgun and sends two slugs downrange into an uninjured slaver. The mare cringes back and looks very bad off.
[21:38] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "...1" There's a loud hiss that cause Blue to jump back from the edge of the desk. A section of wall slides up with a cool mist wafting out. A green beam of light flashes out, scanning the area. "Party time!" Lights flash on in the walls, lighting the area in a swirl of colors as crackly old speakers start to pump out music. "Celebrate good times~..."
[21:41] * Scrap shakes his head to clear it more and steps back up. He aims more shots down range starting with the mare to at least finish her off.
[21:43] * Snack_Cake is very confused, and not really in the mood for party time. She's going to be eaten in a minute here unless they do something about the ghouls!
[21:44] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Scrap places a round in the injured mare and a pair of shots in the other. putting down the last of the slavers at the cages. The slaves inside have hunkered down through the battle.
[21:48] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  There's some sparking as something large rolls out of the compartment. Shaped vaguely like an upsidedown triangle, a large imposing robot rolls out on a singular wheel. It would be more imposing if it wasn't painted an appalling shade of pink. There is a stallions characticture on a screen in the center of it's chest, a clown with a tilted helmet and a cigar hanging out one side of his mouth. "Defining party parameters. Scan comple---e---ete..." It sparks a bit and the screen flashes random pictures of a puppy, a balefire explosion, and what might have been porn, before going back to stallion. "Ministry Mare Pie, you've really let yourself go."
[21:51] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  ****Session End*****
[21:52] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  1000xp, no karma changes.
